WITH THE REVELATION THAT THE THORN IN HIS SIDE, DULU THE GOLEMSLAYER, GOLEMSLAIN, AND GOLEMFORGED IS IN THE NORTHERN MOUNTAINS, OUR INTREPID MURDER MACHINE AND MACHAVELLIAN MANIPULATOR MORDRE HOPES TO HEAD BACK TO MORDREDEN SOON: BUT IS FACED WITH TROUBLES IN THE ARCANOWORKS, IN THE FORM OF AN INQUISITIVE WATCHMEN TURNED MERCENARY, AND EISENHARDT SEEKING HIS REMATCH AT THIS VERY MOMENT! HOW SHALL THE SAPIENT, SENTIENT SOUL GRAVE HANDLE THIS? LET'S FIND OUT, IN THIS LATEST INSTALLMENT OF THE ADVENTURES OF MORDRE AND COMPANY!


Vimes, leader of the Watchmen, an independent mercenary group replete with golems of all sorts and other colorful characters, has come to pay me a visit. Vimes has had many questions for me, among them:

--Why I have a knight of the Order of Harmonious Discord here at the Arcanoworks (Referencing Reinhardt),
--How I know about the mage (Weinsho, to the north) that Vimes and his companions hunt,
--What specifics I may have that I am willing to share concerning this mage (All I have said thus far has been about the Core Being released near Trekel),
--An explanation as to why I keep leaving the Arcanoworks when Lord Brigadier General Quinton ceded it to my command (I do leave very frequently to pursue other endeavors),
--How I showed up within minutes of a Domintus attack on the opposite side of the state (I felt a vague sense of impending death and the release of souls, but I know not how to say that without revealing my true nature as a sapient Soul Grave)
--And why there is a man floating over my walls challenging me to a fight.

Which brings me to my next issue, besides speaking with Vimes: Eisenhardt, who I only yesterday had a vicious battle with that resulted in massive damage to my lands and nearly destroyed me, has had his legs re-grafted to his body, and systemic nerve damage recovered (which he seems to believe has restored lost magical power to him, a prospect I do not look forward to testing at the moment), is hovering over the Arcanoworks' walls, challenging me to round two of our bout, still seeking to destroy my Soul Grave (and thankfully still laboring under the assumption I am in fact a mage in some distant location controlling the form, the cover I use with every person I meet, to avoid discovery).

The reason these issues are pressing to me, beyond their intrinsic importance, is the fact that based on information garnered from Reinhardt, Eisenhardt, and other sources, I have deduced that Dulu, a foe that has continued to plague me even after I slew him in a new form of metal, is to the North-and I fear he will be-or already is-attacking the Premen of the Drazken Clan that were the first to join my cause, and the only collective of individuals to know that I am self-willed, and still chose to exalt me.

With Eisenhardt, Vimes and nearly everyone else in the Arcanoworks attending to my words, I consider...



What should I say or do?

Get Shaman souls(and the others in the area), Get everyone else inside. Direct the Soul Soldiers to attack Goran during this time, tearing down all enemies in their way. Goran should have trouble eating the S.S since he can't grab them and put em in his mouth, he would have to throw his face into the dirt or something. Hold the sword in front of you in such a way that you act as a shelter for it and activate 'Timelock mode' so the avalanche does not affect you. You can use geo/pyromancy to get yourself out afterwards.

But seriously, I keep underestimating this guy, what would have happened if we had faced him? or if we had gone after him the first time we were on the mountain?


Hmmmmmmmmmmm, if we do super-punch-nuke-kill Goran, could we amp the IG to eat up all the energy at the same time (may require P.Soul).

Hmmmm, does anyone have a good plan to defeat this guy without the use of a P.Soul? The avalanche will thrown things off for me.... actually, why don't we do the iron storm around Goran?
!!!!
Ohhhhhh! He has bullets buried in him, why don't we anchor them to us and then DRILL THEM INTO HIM!!! We can blend up his insides and give his heart more holes than swiss cheese. MAGNETOMANCY WILL WIN AGAIN!!!!!!

>Also, YAY! ...I think. Goran is more Soul Grave than Oggroth, right? Their souls still exist, and haven't been unmade like what Oggroth does to the souls in him, right?
Even what Oggroth does takes time. Unless Goran is far more efficient in his soul-digestion- which is possible, particularly since it was said that his magics are partially anchored in his jaw- it is likely that the souls of those he has recently consumed are still at least mostly intact within his body. We won't be getting them unless we successfully off him, though, and we're on a sharp time limit to manage that.

I have to back going for the shaman souls. There are more than a hundred mage souls on the field- that might not give us the power to stop the avalanche, but it'll give us a hell of a lot more options.

That said, I do back the attempt at a massive kinetic kill with soul-boosted Magnetomancy as well- even if it doesn't slay him, it might weaken him enough for Lorgk to finish him off. That seems like our current best option for taking out Goran, to me. I don't suppose that it's possible we could try both? Physically dash for the souls- and inhaling all the elites' souls and whatever else is around, while we're at it- while magically preparing our kill shot.

If the avalanche hits while we're still out on the field, we can quickly bury ourselves (and any nearby allies) underground with Geomancy. That should give us enough protection to weather it. Hopefully everyone else will be inside by then... though if we can't take out Goran this next round it might not be in the cards.

Well, thank you.

>>221609
And if we can burry ourselves, just send everyone back while we try to get as many souls has humanlySoul Gravely possible and kill as many yetis as we can to help the retreat. When the avalanch hits, we duck underground and then Pyromancy and drill-claw up to suck down souls and move toward Goran after we eat as many souls as possible.

Focus on Goran and direct an attack magically as we slowly dig our way to the bloated beast.

Fire the shots so they would slam into each other, one after the other, as rapidly as you can.

Never fear Ugrokk, we'll get you a new arm!

What is the estimate time until the avalanche arrives? Do we have minutes or seconds?

We should definitely soul-suck any remaining souls on the battlefield, considering that whatever option(s) we take to deal with the avalanche will probably involve some heavy magic usage and some of these shamans may contain a magic that's useful for this sort of thing.

First, we need to warn EVERYONE of the incoming avalanche and order a retreat into Mordreden.
Second, we need to finish off any remaining shamans and absorb their souls FAST!
Third, we should see if we can geomancy a wall to protect Mordreden and implement either soulfire or Inferno Golems (if we're out range to use soulfire) infront of the protective wall. And finally, we should gain the attention of Goran, either with verbal taunts >>221587 or with ranged weaponry, to lead him anyway from Mordreden. Once we are an appropriate distance from the village we need to distract Goran until the avalanche arrives, the moment it approaches you both pull back from Goran and use the Edge of Oblivion to time-lock yourself. Since the Edge of Oblivion only takes damage when directly struck during time-lock, let's try to position our body in such a way that we act as a shelter for it. When we're fighting Goran solo before the avalanche hits, if we have enough magic to be spared from maintaining the geomancy wall from the avalanche, we should use our magnetomancy to drive the hand-cannon rounds further into Goran's body. We could potentially move the rounds into Goran's vital organs and cause him extreme pain.

Get Phohn to tell everyone to GET BACK TO MORDREDEN BIG AVALANCHE COMING THROUGH and take as many shaman and red steel sword wielding knight souls as possible while going all out on Goran with the Antigolem cannon and all the other related tricks posted above. We need to get Goran's soul. If Mordre can not get back within the walls before the avalanche hits, use the timelock keep from getting crushed then use soulfire and pyromancy to melt a way out.

If Goran wasn't taken care of before the avalanche then look for him and FINISH HIM. Or of the avalanche did the job for us, eat his delicious soul.
>>
No. 221718 ID: 985261

I doubt that the avalanche will kill him so we need to be ready to rape rape rape.

Hmmmmm...make an inferno Golem for the purpose of protecting our retreating men from Goran and his men.

If an IG would be too much, then just breath S.Fire into the air and pyromancy it to make a wall between the battlefield and Mordreden after our units have passed.

Goran felt pain after we hit him with the IG but it seems to have not been enough. He is back on his feet. I will have to begin thinking about this guy like a Deep Spawn rather than a suped up Preman, I do not like him at all....

This is an awesome idea. However, I do not know how many rounds we have left Or, more importantly, if it would not jeopardize our warriors as there are throngs around Goran right now. As everyone clears a path, I believe we should spin our barrel and engage THE HAMMER'S LANCE! and try to get Goran to charge us while we play keep away and soul-eat. If we get him close, we can paint him for Lorgk and the rest of the Premen to kill and if not, we can just end him under the snow and ice.
>>
No. 221771 ID: d48b85

I don't think the AGC on its own would hurt Goran much. He's too big and seems to resist pretty much all damage. I'm not even sure he has any vital organs

I think the main objective should be to go for the shaman souls and stopping the avalanche. We don't want the yetis to succeed with another backstabbing plot! Use the soul soldiers, magnetomancy controlled vanguard blades and the blood iron cloud to slay as many shamans as possible so you can harvest their souls. Then activate the magic amplifier and put it into soul-fuelled overdrive. Use magnetomancy, geomancy and maybe even a push from the Accelerator to drive the very land up and towards the mountain in a wedge shape in order to cut the avalanche, diverting it to the sides.

No. 221780 ID: e31d52

ACG shells are roughly a foot long.

They are strong enough to peirce STEEL. All attacks that have damaged Goran are actually weaker than it, thus far. Plus, we're talking about several shells fired rapidly into the same area, possibly the same spot, each hit driving the previous shells deeper. If it works, there'll be a 2-5 foot shaft in his body, hammered there by strange forces that have broken stone and dented metals.

We probably should try to spin this avalanche as intentional.

Also inversion boost to magnetomancy to speed yourself up, shoot the rest of your blades and ACG shells at Goran, and run your ass to the shaman souls, eat them all, and magnetomance your ass back inside, using Phohn to tell everyone to get inside for the avalanche.
>>
No. 221813 ID: b10c0e

Ok, question to anyone: Can we sink into the ground - Because if we can, that would be much easier then hauling ass back...Actually, idea:

Geomancy to drop the floor out from under all of our troops and all of the dead, if possible. Open up passages between holes we made for our troops. Add strong earthern cover to keep avalanch out. Eat bodies and souls at our pleasure.

I really doubt that the avalanche is going to hurt our body in any way, I doubt it will do anything to Dulu either... even the Deep Spawn are in the clear, IMO. That shit is going to be devastating to Gorans army only.
Though we should order all the fleshlings to get the hell away

Large scale avalanches are devastating to two things: The environment, and living things. The most common ways people die in avalanches are through freezing to death, and the other side-effects of being buried alive. They CAN destroy buildings and train cars(if it's a big enough avalanche), but such can be surprisingly fragile compared to, say, a fully steel construct.

The ones on our side that this avalanche poses the BIGGEST threat to are Uggrok, Lorgk, Oggroth, and possibly Keddic, who all risk being buried alive. Once we have Goran's attention with our attack, we should probably tell them to take cover behind the walls of Mordreden, and take Uggrok with them.

The Deepspawn and Bang have super regen factors, so they should be relatively ok (they already spent a surprisingly large amount of time buried), and Dulu' and literally melt a way out.
>>
No. 221851 ID: 5f0943

Even if there are some really awesome suggestions to how to deal with the problem (Eatan shaman souls, magic boost ability plus geomancy wall for example) I'm not quite sure if we will be a able to do that in time, so haul ass into Mordreden, let the mountains themselves deal with Goran and his ilk. And don't forget to soul suck like a boss on they way.

Also, I believe that no matter the circumstances, Ugrokk should be pulled out of the battle into safety.
Speaking of the now one armed Ugrokk, I think I know how to get him a new arm.

Last time I checked, one of Gialgora's daughters had prosthetic arms (or something damned close), so maybe we could pay Gialgora to build Ugrokk a new arm if we should ever visit him again.

Also, I sort of though out a speech or whatever to use the Jade Soul Monk thing (It is late as of writing this, so excuse me if I'm using the ability wrong) if the consensus wants to fight him:

"GORAN! Your 'mighty' clan is in tatters, your knights have fallen, and you yourself have been grievously harmed by the very opponents you believed you would crush like bugs beneath your feet! Was it all worth it Goran? Maybe you shouldn't have come here today? Maybe you just should have LET IT BE!"
Then we chomp at him with the spectral gorging anima (or just throw a rock at him, I dunno).

Again, excuse me if I'm doing it wrong.
I think I'll just change my vote to attcking Goran instead of fleeing into Mordreden (our fleshy allies should totally withdraw immediately though.

Man, there's no fucking way we are leaving those 180 delicious Shaman souls. No way, man.
If we are so afraid that the avalanche could hurt us, we should carve out a hole in the ground while killing shamans and eating their souls in the last moment we could jump down the hole and have the avalanche just go above us...

Though I prefer using the new found abilities that those souls should give us and try to redirect the avalanche.

I don't want to lose those 20 elite warrior souls either ....
>>
No. 221884 ID: f4e4f9

Uhm...Avalanches obey largly fluid mechanics, so that wouldn't shield us from it.

Also, souls can persist for quite a while. That said, I think the easiest method for shielding key individuals would be to erect pillars next to them between them and the avalanche. If we make them sturdy enough, they should leave a slight area of relative safety for those near them.

>Last time I checked, one of Gialgora's daughters had prosthetic arms (or something damned close), so maybe we could pay Gialgora to build Ugrokk a new arm if we should ever visit him again.

That would be Sofiazza Gialgorra, and not only did she have functioning prosthetic arms, she had damn good ones. They allowed her to lift a pair of huge machine guns with relative ease. I'd think one built for a Premen could have the strength on it amped up to an even more ridiculously disproportionate degree. We could even improve the thing by adding some runes and maybe attaching one of our Hand Cannons to it. You know this could help Ugrokk close the gap in power that's been forming between him and Oggroth as of late. It even creates a nice contrast because Oggroth is now a Life Golem empowered by magic while Ugrokk would be more of a technological construct.

I'm all for doing this if Jojo can't restore Ugrokk's arm to it's former condition. I have my doubts about that though, from the description his arm was turned into pulp. At least when Eisenhardt was being healed Jojo and Ulzrick had his full limbs. We'll just have to see though.

We should charge up the anti-magic field again.
I think that when the avalanche hits, Goran will become buried and in time when he gets out (or we get to him) he'll be magically amplified again. But we could weaken him again just as easily...

My thoughts stretch out to Phohn, as my mind turns to those less... durable than myself, those of my allies bound to the frailties of flesh. I implore the communication based Deep Spawn to disseminate the warning, the dire words of this coming doom, the cold death rushing down the mountainside. I do not hear a response from Phohn for seven long, agonizing seconds, but finally he informs me that those of the Drazken Clan, as well as Keddic and Bang, have all been informed of the coming disaster. I see his words to be true as Lorgk's face contorts in frustrated impotence as he regards both the coming tide of snow and Goran's form, and reluctantly leads those still alive, Oggroth, Keddic and Ugrokk among them back within the walls of Mordreden, to take shelter from the coming tide. Goran notes the abrupt retreat of those who had just seconds ago engaged him with a bravery bordering on insanity, and his gaze finally turns to encompass the swelling and nearing wall of white, before he turns to face me again, noting myself to be the only non-Deep Spawn alligned against him to still stand their ground.

Even as Goran the Magic Eater once more addresses me, assuming the avalanche to be of my own making, I am moving, my mouth gaping. I focus on those souls recently released, the Gorkin Shamans slain after my magical annulment, looking to harvest more magical might to direct against this overgrown and overpowered Premen before me. Goran notes my abrupt retreat from his form, and within seconds of my turning to near the shaman souls, I hear his cry of outrage rumble even higher than the now deafening sound of crashing snow, and the heavy thud, thud, thud of his weighty limbs carrying him after me. I do what I can to ignore it, my eyes only on those souls I could claim, as they stream into my maw.

[MORDRE HAS CONSUMED 87 PREMEN SHAMAN SOULS]
[MORDRE HAS GAINED BASIC COMPETENCY IN: KINITEMANCY (Can now redirect force vectors or create new ones at will with sufficient magic behind it), IGNIMANCY (Can now start building electrical charges to create positive or negative bolts of energy, charge-up required to use), and BLOOD MAGIC (Can now fully manipulate the Blood Iron in his own form and cause it to flow, while actively causing the Blood Iron particulates in his form to flow has full access to Blood Magic as a fuel source {causing Blood Iron to flow requires intense concentration currently}]

I start turning about, whipping my metal form around as swiftly as I can in the hopes of facing the ever-nearing Goran, but my gaze shows my efforts are for naught, the Magic Eater having already closed the gap while I was distracted harvesting the remnants of life about the battlefield. A fist swings forward, a beige blur as I feel intense energy, a sense of dread imbuing its existence. My Sable Executioner writhes, tentacles moving to intercept the blow, as my left hand likewise moves to intercept the impact, but all of this is blown away, horrendous shock-waves emanating from that fell fist throwing them aside and exposing my chest. The fist hits me, and for the briefest of instants, I can see my own form being lifted from the ground by this monstrous uppercut suffused with magic, before-

The Baleful Eyes of Winter shatter, their rigid crystalline forms unable to withstand the torrential flood of vibrations that envelope and flood my form. ...The Amaranthine Annihilator is broken, my vision shattered, as ruby shards fly away from my eyes.

But even as this happens, my attention is elsewhere. I inverted the Immortal Genocide, and turned its power upon myself, and my command of Magnetomancy, forcibly stealing command of as much metal about me as I can reach, and in the barest of instants with a boom of rent air, metal scattered all about this gore soaked battlefield zooms towards me, the cloud of Blood Iron compacting into a solid core as all else gathers about it. I see Goran's eyes narrow, his lips peel back as he witness my impression of Eisenhardt, a gargantuan spike of metal, its core wholly Blood Iron, forming in the air, some fifty tons of lethal threat taking shape at my will, even as I crack open the Anti Golem Revolver Cannon, refilling its chambers as a plan races through my mind.

[SOUL BOOST: -187 souls. Total Souls Remaining: 3,089 Minimum: 12]

As I snap shut the cumbersome cannons adorning my shoulder, once more fully loaded, the metal I drew from about the battlefield finishes melding together, a gleaming spike like a divine arrow pointing at the Magic Eater, I take careful aim at its back even as I send it hurtling towards Goran, and spit out my own derisive comment to him.

"I would like to see you persist through THIS, Magic Eater: Show me how you deal with STEEL!"

[BOOSTED TECH: TITANIC SPIKE]

As I watch Goran raise the very arm that through me skyward (I am STILL airborne from his hit, my chest bearing a crater so large my very posture is now warped, as if I were an old man with a bent back), I fire the Anti-Golem Cannon in rapid succession, six rounds rapidly hurtling forth, on a collision course with the back of the very projectile Goran now moves to block. I feel, I SEE Ozmand the Hammer's soul gathering about the shots, their velocities augmented to allow simultaneous collision with their target, and the multi-ton hunk of metal with Goran was ludicrously able to stop with but one hand at the cost of some skin, now regains its fell velocity, and where once a massive, thick-skinned, hair-coated arm existed, now shattered bone, rent flesh and flying strips of muscle stand, the first look of genuine shock painting Goran's face since this whole fight began, as he loses the very arm he claimed from Ugrokk.

[NEW COMBO MOVE: TITANIC SPIKE [BOOST] + OZMAND'S HAMMERLANCE]

I finally plummet earthward from the recoil of my six shots as my hand closes about the hilt of the Edge of Oblivion, and as the encroaching wall of white is upon us, I manage to claim the Spatial lock holding it in static form, as Goran and I are both completely consumed by a tide lacking color.

The world turns white, and silent, as pressure builds ever higher about my now held form.

What revelation is this? Do share.

And I do hold out some hope that those two pristine souls aren't completely gone- while we might have lost the core gems, they were used primarily to upgrade the runes around them, right, which should still be intact. We'll just need to find new cores somewhere.

And Zagrath the Unseen... well, his soul is loose and buried somewhere in the avalanche. As are the souls of a lot of dead Premen, at this point. We might be able to recover some of them, somehow... but I'm not sure. Depends on how long the souls will persist, and if we can use geomancy effectively on avalanche residue.

Calling it now: First event of the next thread is Mordre punching out of the avalanche snows.

I believe it was said before that the destruction of our current eyes results in losing any Hero Souls along with it.

However, according to Bob, hero souls become a literal part of whatever they reside in.

The revelation was that, through the expenditure of a Pristine Soul on the act, the AA could be restored 100 percent. Assuming we can find all the original pieces in the avalanche.

Also, the first one enhanced the runes.

The second soul enhanced the Gems themselves, specifically it's structure.

Emba is correct of course. And I now very pissed with Goran. I so want to NUKE FIST him right now.

We WILL find all the pieces, even if we have to sou boost Geomancy to find them, we spent too much on that damn thing to have it broken now. Might as well make it more durable at the same time, possibly will need boosted Geomancy, more rubies and a few days of concentration.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Dammit, why did we put so much effort into magic power to meet a nullifeir here dammit. At leas he can't null soul based so the SpectralGA should syill eff him up. I am simply sad that we cannot Kinectimance his own fit into him...

!! UPGRADED ACCELERATOR!!! ACCEL+Kinectomancy
Super spped and the ability to change vector mid flight. !!! We can do that with ALL our projectiles now!!! AND we can charge Jez's capsules!!!

and Bob, seeing how SOULfire is SOUL based, it will still hurt him right?


Oh yea, SOUL SOLDERS SHOULD STILL BE ATTACKING GORAN EVEN THROUGH THE SNOW!! Suck it.

Can't we re-vector the avalanche into Goran's face?

Force of nature
no mage is strong enough.. not even us.


This would be an opportune time to cry "VANDGUARD! TI ME!!!!!", but that closely resembles something the bad guy always says before he gets stabbed, so use the Phohn.

[Basic UNIVERSAL competency, like what Lenryt gave you of Geomancy. Any souls you gain now in said areas will, as with Geomancy, boost full range of accessible magic in given mancy.]

I have just been informed that if we recovered the shards of the rubies, and ate them... we'd get the Heroic Soul back.

Wouldn't be able to replicate the rubies though.

Oh, I misunderstood.

Further info:
Using Geomancy to piece the rubies together over AT LEAST two weeks, then spending a Pristine Soul, would allow us to completely undo the damage to the gems. Just replacing them with other rubies would take a lot less time, and not require a Pristine Soul.

Also, Zagrath might start wandering off if we don't try to grab him immediately (while also fighting other things) so it might take a bit more effort to grab him than just eating the gems.

FIRST: We must reclaim the lost soul.

SECOND: We must defeat Goran, and eat his.

THIRD: We must repair the AA.

Think in order of immediateness, not priority!

So.... did we kill him or not?

Will we be able to recover the rest of the shaman souls (and any other souls for that matter)??

I'm quite happy with this chapter and the decision we made at the beginning of it. We got a rather large amount of stuff done, with both Jojo and Mordre. I highly doubt that either one could have acomplished as much if they were on autopilot. A situation like the one with Eldghodd or Scarred Yeti could have gone very poorly if we were not around to deal with it directly. It kind of makes me wonder if Bob would have manufactured such a situation had we chose Mordre initially and expanded the roles of the bandits or maybe he did already and we missed out on investigating them.

That said I am a bit disappointed we haven't had the chance to change our perspective back to Arkus yet, but it's reasonably seeing as we haven't had a good break in all the action to do so. I suppose we'll get that opportunity while we're repairing our eyes or when we make a return trip, I just hope we don't get the shift right after killing Goran. I want to stick around to hang out with Lorgk and help him unite the Premen tribes that were once under the Gorkin banner.
