Seduce him

>>326119
>Anyway, you all wouldn't happen to know a fail-safe method of killing a crazy hammerdwarf, would you?
Traps are preferred. You got any handy? Melee and dwarves is a horrible combination.

Trying to fight a hammerdwarf is easy: stay away from the hammer, and aim for the head. If you're lucky, you can penetrate the head and pierce the liver all in one hit!

honestly if you can out run him that would be my advice. if you don't feel confidant of being able to outrun him, sneak up behind him and pray to god that your fist strike kills him.

ok Shabin, here are a couple things to keep in mind. the weapon you have brought is suitable for some very special things when it comes to a melee. the big 2:
it's shape makes it very useful for hooking. basically, if you can get the counterweight or the head (or if yours is double headed, either head) behind something, you can pull it towards you. more popular applications of hooking include pulling legs out from under things, and pulling swings in too close. basically if a dwarf is trying to hit you with a hammer, if you pull him too close he will either stumble, or hit you with the handle, which hurts a far cry less than the business end of anything.
it's designed to break through things. basically you want to aim for the joints, but if you can't find any you're applying all the force to a small point.

if you think you're up to the task, what i would recommend here is tripping the dwarf and then putting the pick through their head while they're busy being ass over teakettle.

>>326119
Well, you could make him fall in love with you and then eat his soul, that should leave him pretty much open to kill manually. If that's not within your abilities, try hiding or disappearing, then getting behind him and swinging your pick through the place where his helmet meets his plate, and into the spine. These dwarves don't seem to wear gorgets.

>>326130
Yeah, tripping him then finishing the job is probably the best plan, so long as you're strong enough to pull his legs out from under him.

>>326119

it was the big good, actually, but more on that later. for now, avoid revealing yourself unless an opening presents itself.

actually, he seems to be approaching you. can you swing your pick into his face through the visor of his helmet at maximum momentum?

>>326119
If it helps any, Chee doesn't naturally have those skills. They come from all these souls that were grafted onto her. (So do we, now that I mention it.)

Before attacking, it is important to consider what your pick is made out of, and what his armor looks like it is made out of. An if your pick is copper and his armor looks like steel, the pick probably won't be able to penetrate. If your pick is a similar material, it probably will be able to.

Advice noted. I'm going for the sweep. I doubt I can get an easy swipe at his eye socket in my position, without giving him warning.

I wonder if she sent a soul, then, who knew how dwarves fought, because I tried doing something like this earlier. Didn't work out too well, in the end. Unlike now.

I'm not even thinking about what to do anymore. It's coming like I've done this a hundred... a thousand times.

Yeah.
Thing is,, Chee can send us to people directly and at will now. And, she gets her talents from some big, complicated thing that comes with us. She did take down that big bad, and gained his knowledge.

So, that's why.

And just like that.

Tell Chee to share the souls, every once in awhile. I could get used to this.

>>326153
Now now Shab, try not to turn powermad.

burst into the front lines like a deus ex fucking machina of dorf slaying.

>>326153
Well, Shabin, as long as you've got the tricks- better use them! There are more dwarves left to kill. Get moving.

So whose soul did Shabin get the first time that made her ugyuu~?

>>326153
You don't seem bothered by the fact that Chee has a bunch of souls caged inside her.

Anyone else around? Any other dwarves? Using your newfound combat ability further would be a good idea. If there's nobody left to kill, the next most important thing to do is find other healthy kobolds and coordinate with them to speed the healing of those still alive.

I bet Chee is good enough at healing at this point to bring people back from the very brink of death, by the way.

>>326157
It might have been Chee's.

>>326153
Of course Cheelop will share with you, Shabin. Sharing is caring, after all. And Chee cares for you very much. Now let's have some fun, shall we? Cheelop should be along shortly to help you from afar.

Trouble is someone's got to die before you can get their soul. Someone really skilled and awesome. This soul thing is more like an afterthought or an echo of what they once were. So no, don't depend on the souls too much. Because you'll just end up facing the people who haven't been killed yet, who will ergo be more awesome. It's great if you are in a bind against someone with a good deal less skill than your soul, but focus on your own skills first. If you're the stuff of greatness you will surpass anything we can do.

for instance you'll never have as much ugyuu~ as Chee does. But it still did something to you. :3c

>>326169
You forget the souls providing our power aren't just one, but many. And by their powers combined, we are... Captain Phylactery!

Would you like us to help you the next time you take Chop on? :3

Anyway lets go find Chee to fix that eye of yours.

>>326173
Ixnay on the ylacteryphay!

Oh, and we found Chee's original soul by the way. So she still has her soul. Kinda. Its complicated. And confirmed that she was a she when she was alive.

>>326153
Agreed. We will see if it is possible to arrange a mutual sharing for as often as we can. If you both can benefit from them, well...

>>326154
Yea don't think about that reservoir of boundless potential within Chee, the possession of thousands of champions that would make you a GOD amongst the dragons, much less your fellow kobolds. Or that suffocating desire inside of you to be more than a mere rock-eater hiding away in a cave, especially given t. Especially not of that very real source which could grant you the ability to bend Chop with not but the slightest effort of your weakest member. No, no not at all. Even though its not like Chee deserves it any more than yourself.

for fucks sake

we dont tell people we are a herectical mess of souls containing nearly all lich's souls under the command of the lich king

they may be willing to kill us just to get on good graces with the paladins.

Guys, I just noticed something.

The chief is a coblold who is wearing a hat that can easily conceal horns (hidden inside the hollowed out horns on his hat). And the chief just happened to show up at precisely the right time to make sure Uberpally got killed.

We must find a way to remove his hat to be sure. (Alternately we might take a quick dip into his mind, but that risks him getting some of our power.)

>>326191
yes that is something you should not do. also you don't get that much out of a soul. just an aptitude, basically having the soul of a great warrior would give you a knack for that warriors fighting style. chee probably gave you some dwarfish souls, hence a bit of an understanding of how they fight.

>>326203

Either that or some soul who killed a thousand dwarves in his life. it's kind of hard to tell, the ability souls are not the talky souls.

>>326200
>>326149

This seems to suggest that people only obtain power during the time we are inside them, therefore, even if we "dip" into his mind, he won't stay powered up if we go back into some one else.

Hey Shabin stop standing over dead dwarves, and either snoop around to figure out how well the fights going on elsewhere, or get looting. Delicious loot.

>>326153
No freerides on the soultrain. Or well, not many. You could try to remember though. Work through a few movements and try to imprint them in your memory.

Please. I held Chee when she was literally and magically disentegrating. Me hearing stuff like phylactery and many souls isn't blowing my mind anymore, it simply explains.

I'm not going to sell her out because of something like that. Especially not now.

>>326191
Not at all. I was going to be this good, eventually. There was no doubt about it. I'm certainly not thinking about how easy this suddenly became, how years of aspirations suddenly turned into right now.

There's not a whole lot of dwarves left, actually. A moment ago, the paladins began fleeing. They must have sensed their hero fell.

The rest of the dwarves are falling, but since the paladins triggered most of the traps, we've been fighting more than we'd like.

We're not going to let a single dwarf leave, to report what happened here. I caught Kradis talking about these guys, specifically, the paladins. These are, if you didn't deduce already, the best. And when their home learns that the best fell to what was before an insignificant kobold encampment?

That's not to say that they simply went missing is much better. It just buys us some time before they begin investigating.

In the long term? We were just placed on the map with a dagger.

Maybe you could knock him down? Take out his legs or something? Or you could just go all out and take him down and show off in front of Chop, if you're in to doing stuff like that.

How's that eye, by the way? It looks hurt, but is Chee or somebody else going to be able to help heal it up?

>>326263
Time for looting. Drop your now worthless pick axe and take something more useful from one of the dead dorfs. Chop will have to stand his ground until you get back, so hurry.

use the other half of the pic ax to hook his leg. you'll either trip him or distract him from chop.

It's okay, we should have some of Chee's magic. We can probably heal Chop after we take this guy down.

coming to think of it, chee might be a emotional mess now.

anyway while we do want him to live, im almost sure we have no docs around and you will still need trainning to use the healing spell. can you call for medic?

You could ask the paladin who just slammed him to help. I'm sure he is a nice enough guy.

Looks like it. Better go for something vital directly.

Good thing these paladins are beefy, you could have just been impaled.

In case some of you have not noticed, which appears so, the quest is over for this thread.
>Chee Quest - Part 3 : End

the cutebold that could eat souls: non-exalted edition

well you do want such a huge future for yourself. id say for you to stay until you get a bit more of physical training.

then we will need to research how to kill liches. a human town can do that for us, i think.

>>326354
And in case you haven't noticed:

>>326325
>I'll take your advice so please keep talking to me, and maybe even stay here for awhile if people want me to before I go to any of those places.

screw physical training, I say we invest all our points into magic. because, you know, the souls of two liches and who knows what other spellcaster.

see if anyone who can teach you things, preferebly of spellcasty nature, is willing to accompany you.

>>326328
HELL YES CHEE!

By the way, I'm not sure if you figured this out yet, but you have a soul. It's just hiding. Also, you're a girl!

Personally I think we should visit either the first town your parents lived in or the second. The dragon is on the way, so we should visit them first. Based on any information they give us- wait what gender is the dragon anyway?- we can decide where to go next.

Going to check the human town might give us some clues, but we actually have no indication that there is anything related to you there. Best case scenario we don't get immediately attacked because you're a kobold and somehow find a mage that doesn't immediately attack you because you've got necromantic magics about you, then somehow manage to get him to tell you where the liches are... Yeah, not gonna happen.

I do think we should stay briefly to give a proper goodbye to your friends, and also I'm still curious about what makes Shabin's eyes glow. Also why Chop calls her rock eater. Does she actually eat rocks or is that just a term for a miner?

So about having a nice place to always come back too...

I would think that the Holy Dwarven Church would not give up so not-so-easily. And the Paladins of the Humans and Elves probably would take interest in the obliteration of such renown figures. So the Kobolds are definitely gonna nomad the fuck away, consider accompanying them for a while, whilst they set up a new camp so you know where they are.

Get as many of everything that is useful to you, moar kni- No wait your good at all ranged things, get moar everything, some potions of different effects for special situations and possibly a small melee weapon (or better yet, if they have it, a friggin Swordstaff) when magic fails to be an advantage.

Also we really should try to bring some people with us, even if it's just Shabin, backup is always a plus.

actually, if you kill the Litch king and get proof. that might get you enough credit with the dwarfs and paladins and such that you could ask them to stop trying to murder your people.
