what bits you got?
>>
No. 409366 ID: b6edd6

Mkay, two important questions about that.
Fist, by strongest, you means strongest against what? An undead optimized for fighting armies can be very different from an undead built for fighting powerful individuals or an undead for countering rival undead.
Second, what abilities can you build into undead? We are a bit unfamiliar with this plane, and abilities such as body part assimilation or spellcasting can drastically change the build you want to use.

for now i can only use the natural abilty of the body parts, with more developed lab and powers i can make extensive alteration in the abilities of the piece I use; what I mean by strongest is the abilty to do defeat any kind of opponent; this are the limbs I have and their ability the upper body limbs belong to a were wolf that is strong but inaccurate, dragonlike claws unable to hold wepon and of a feline, quite fast but week; the lower body parts are frome the same werewolfwith identical up and down, from a snake: you can't run, but you can grab and crush an anemy and from an harpy:they can run quite fast but you can't do much more...of cuorse you can always use human limbs that are average

Can we get multiple arms? There is a good chance that the whole 'multiple minds' bit will offset the normal attention-division problems with multi-wielding. If we do that, human and feline arms would be a good choice for being lightweight.

If not, we should get one human arm and one dragonish arm.

now that you are ready to go there something I have to confess...we are on a small island near a large one, and the only ships that can sail to the continent are always full of paladins, to defend them from monster and pirates so for now we are stuck here...unless we find a way to set sail on our own, but for now let's choos one of the cemetery on this isle to ride...there's a harpy settlement in the mountain near a lake, a swamp lamia settlement in the, well, swamp, a small werewolf settlement in the forest, beware they are pretty xenophobe and strong so it will be dangerous to face them straight away, and two human settlement in the hills; of cours we are only interested in the cemetery, but still...

you do so, from your hiding spot can see a young withe feathered harpy being followed by a large demonic being that, while large does not seems so dexterous, probably the harpy was hit by chance ,but now too hurt to run or fly away will soon get caught and probably killed, what do you do? help the harpy in some way or just get away with your bodies, mind you are quite more resistant then a human and can sustain many hits, also pudding, if you need it, can saw you back in to shape at the basament and teleport you one regeneration or an healing potion..lack of ingrediennt to do both

awesome quest.
I doubt she knows anything about the demon, its a demon, it tried to eat her... unless she is a natural summoner coming into her power or a wizard apprentice or something.
But there are many things we can ask. Ask her about her, she looks young, how young is she?
Who are her family, what kind of culture the harpies have? village structure? quantity of people? army? etc. Paladins in the village? view about paladins? religion? etc.

Don't make it an interrogation, rather, talk to her in a friendly manner. If she is young and orphan perhaps master can make her an apprentice. (best result I think)

Killing all mortals is the stereotype for necromancers and it makes no sense, they need mortals to generate new corpses.
So the question is, what is his long term goals and preferred method of interaction.
1. Avoid as long as possible and pretend they aren't there and hope for best. - probably not gonna work. seems like what he planned.
2. Conquer. - Throws too many red flags and triggers a crusade, totally impractical until you are so ridiculously powerful you don't need to officially conquer anyone to be untouchable.
3. Manipulate from shadows (blackmail, mind control, etc the key figures) - sounds plausible. Need to think about an undead that looks pretty but isn't vampire (drinking blood a drawback, can't go in sun and too easy to spot)
4. Reach an agreement - Would work best, we have a lot to offer and aren't a threat... and is the most difficult to find someone who would agree. For harpies we have an in with saving her if she is important. But the key is going to be the religious view of the importance of the dead in every society... luckily there are 4 major societies on this tiny island.

But the demons will still be out there though, hurting innocent people.
And she could still run across them by accident too.
You have time to think about it while we are getting the ingredients to repair the seal, you don't have to decide right away...
We will protect you either way, be brave.

Also, ask master for clarification if sealing it weakens her ability to perform magic. Her mother was a competent mage to make such a seal, and it would make sense to place one on a child that is unable to yet use such magic if it attracts hungry demons; and then remove it when becoming an adult and learning how to utilize magic effectively.
Also ask if its possible to make it toggle-able between fully and partially sealed. So she could switch it to fully sealed if she needs to go somewhere alone.

Using her situation and ingenuity to our advantage while trying to recruit her to our cause may prove to be a big mistake in a not too distant future. We use her or we recruited her, one or the other.

Furthermore, we do not know the true power of the one who pursues her. If we can rely on her memory, her parents were powerful, but their enemies were more. The fact that we found a weak demon can be attributed to the existence of the seal. In addition, we have no assurance that the one who pursues her will not be able to pinpoint our location after we defeat some demons.

There are no "enemies" out pursuing her. Her natural power simply makes her SUPER DELICIOUS to demons (compared to other mortals). Any and all random demons in vicinity will sense it and converge on her to eat the deliciousness.

Also, we are not exploiting her here, everything we said was true. The demons WILL be out there hurting other people and they CAN run into her even if her thing is completely off. One day she might be strong enough to fight them off herself, especially if she becomes the master's apprentice.

Well, her parent left the capital around the time of her birth and it's not certain the reason, so it's not so impossible for pursuer to exist, still, if they didn't find her in 9 years it's unlikely they can scree her in some way and with some more souls I should be able to cover the hideout in an anti scree bubble, this way any supposed enemy will be unable to find her, also, among the ten souls in the soulpudding there was one sorcerer soul, this way we are halfway to allow you to use magic and I can learn a new, unrelated to necromancy, spell, but they wont be so powerful at the beginning something to enhance strength, a low level ice spell that freeze the ground but let you walk on it easily as you where on normal ground, and a density enhancer spell, what should I learn?
Also, yes, I'm more interested in recruiting her then to use her as a demon bait, so do what you believe is right
>>
No. 416968 ID: 3734f6

What does density enhancement do?
Is strength enhancing permanent?
Do you mean you can use the sorcerer soul for both or that you can use it either for yourself or for us?

As far as recruiting her vs bait, only reason we would need to choose between the two is if she turns down our suggestion and we try to coerce her to do it (which we could, since her only alternative is to let it collapse entirely). If she says yes then we got both (with a toggleable seal in her control).
If she says no then we respect her wishes so we can recruit her.

Also, an idea occurs to me. We might want to create a network of demon sensing wards further out from the hideout so we can tell if demons are coming and how strong they are, that way if too many/too strong demons are coming she can close it off entirely and everyone can hide.

Well, enhancement are temporary at a low level, density enhancement allow to change density of what I'm welding to make the impact on the enemy grater; the sorcerer soul only enhance me, the normal souls allow me power up your body make modification, and with enough power I could fuse two body parts of the same kind, increasing their power and giving the resulting part different ability usually superior to the previous; also I like your idea of making demon sensing ward, I'll work on it, but I need a peculiar kind of wood growing in the forest.

Strength and Density both increase melee damage but in different ways, and both carry different utility capability. The ice forming lets you control the terrain to better keep out of melee. I am going to guess you are currently a ranged fighter?

. New spell are weak at the beginning because I need to power up them, they will grow in the same way as any already existing spell when I drain normal demon soul, so they aren’t really strong at the beginning, say that I’ll explain the way this new spell work. The ice spell at this level work on many terrain, It doesn’t work in really hot place and it doesn’t last for too long a few minutes, but at higher levels there are not many limitation of ground, and it can even be used to make spike, density enhancer at stronger level can make a weak material strong like steel and enhance the caster body, making it harder; the strength spell can boost physical strength by two times at the beginning, but it should be possible to enhance it twelve times. For answer your question on my fighting ability I have to say that unfortunately necromancy, it’s lacking ranged spell, it’s mostly made up of rituals who need times and preparations to made, there are exceptions which are powerful enough to devastate an army, but I need an enormous amount of power, which I obviously don’t have, yet

Alright then, taking this into account
Ice spell - While it is essential to control the terrain, lacking any form of offense or defense beyond that renders it ineffective.
Strength - Possibly best offensive capability. Should stack with density.
Density - Combines amazingly good defense with impressive offense (but probably lower offense then strength), should stack with strength, and should be able to make a good steel weapon very impressive.

So, based on that analysis I say go with density.

No. 417511 ID: e3aff6

Density sounds good. And foe a ranged attack we could throw stuff and make it denser mid-flight (of course, that would work with strength as well).

So be it, now that I’m done power up myself it’s your turn, I’ve melted the body you have carried back in mystical material and I’m powerful enough to make some interesting upgrades to your body, I can give your arms more dexterity and make your leg stronger, place two kind of arms on you, like a dragonish and a human one, I can power up just one set of limb making it both stronger and dexterous, also with just five more souls I should be able to mix two of limbs together or to attach an extra set of body parts but, to do both I need more mystical material…oh, I can also start to work on your outfit if you don’t have suggestion

No it doesn't, not even in D&D (and is this even based on D&D?).

IRL, speed is a function of your reaction times (brain & nerve), mass (the lower the better), and strength (the higher the better).
Increasing strength without increasing weight will increase your speed. When wielding a weapon, increasing your strength will allow you to move it faster and more easily and accurately (as the penalty of weight decreases)
In D&D speed is a function of your encumbrance (strength & weight) and race.

IRL, Dexterity is your level of coordination and tool using ability. (most animals lack the dexterity of a human hand and cannot manipulate tools readily).
In D&D, dexterity is a measure of your coordination/clumsiness & balance & flexibility (from whole body dodging to manipulating fine equipment like traps and locks). It directly adds to to your coordination (dodging) and reaction time (initiative).

So even assuming this was D&D (which it is not), dexterity is not speed in D&D.

“ I suppose I can tell you at this point...to acquire this body I had to combine my knowledge of alchemy, necromancy, lost knowledge and a branch of forgotten and forbidden magic; the side effects of this modification were the reset of my magical power to 0, the sealing of every spells non related to necromancy I knew and another minor side effect, but I no longer age, my power and fiscal prowess can grow indefinitely and if drain enough souls I should be able to recover most of my skills. Before you ask, the forbidden spells are exceedingly powerful, but I need to drain at least 70 more souls to use the weakest of them” while saying this the necromancer position the severed arm into place and a blue flame erupt from the wounds as they close “ I also have a crazy fast regeneration ability as you can see. Now, I don't have a way to restore the entrance, but there should be at least a sorcerer soul in this demon,we just have to hope they didn't flee, have been captured by my sword and one of them had a geomancy spell ” he stop a second to reflect then in a really low voice speak to himself “what does not convince me Is the power of this guy: the amount of power Neve emit is not enough to normally attract this kind of monsters ” even if she didn't heard what the necromancer said, or probably because of it, she look worried and ask him what's wrong

Most importantly, lets see what I can learn from this sorcerer souls” he stop talking for some time, then say “ I can three new spell among this 9: rock shaping, pillar, rock motion, shield, venom, sharpen, roar, fear and weaken; let me describe this spells:rock shaping allow to modify the shape of a rock or to dig trough it, pillar at the first level allow me to make a rock pillar in a 10 meter radius,but at an high level I should be able to make a lot more in a 40 meter radius, rock motion allow me to move rock that are not fused to the ground, shield deflect physical attack, venom poison the enemy and at high level can destroy an enamy quite fast, sharpen allow a blade to slice trough something easier, roar paralyze for a fraction of time your enemy and at high level can do some damage to the internal ear making hard to stand, fear reduce an enemy will to fight and weaken reduce the enemy strength.

This seems like a perfect combination for making traps. Hollow out a section of earth with rock shaping, then leave a thin layer of rock at the top that will crumble under a demon's weight. Put spikes at the bottom with rock shaping again, use sharpen on them, then venom. Might be worth trading venom for shield, but I prefer the approach that's so offensive, the enemy never manages to get a strike in in the first place.

#1 Eyes
#2 Glowing bits
#3 Joints
#4 Whatever you can hit.
If you can't hit one thing then move on to the next until you see an opening.

Just because there has been rumors about something ambushing people at the bridge does not mean this monster is the one doing it.

Do you think you could use Rock Shaping to constrict the earth and stone around it, cutting it in half with a scissor like motion? Don't try that straight away though.

Attack the tail. It looks dangerous. Use Sharpen for max cutting power with Venom for extra sting. See if you can sever or cripple that tail in one go. Shout to El to go for the remaining eye if possible.

Teleport the eggs back if possible. Otherwise bring as many with you as you can. Wrap them in cloth with some dry grass or something. If Necro can raise the monsterlings or tame them in some way then they'll potentially be quite useful.

Tell El jokingly that to make an omelet you have to break a few eggs. Seriously though we don't know what's wrong with the people in Els village, but if they end up needing organ transplants from a necromancer master surgeon then you might just have got yourselves some young, healthy monster donors... Cruel perhaps, but if her family is at deaths door then I doubt she'd hesitate to agree that it is for the best.

"Hello. Are you familiar deep sea fish? No? Then let me tell you a little about my favorite; the anglerfish. It's a predator that lurks far below where the suns rays can reach, and in that inky darkness it dangles a glowing ball in front of its head. Its prey, mesmerized by the spectacle of a light in such darkness and hoping for a meal, are oblivious to its waiting jaws until it's too late.
Obviously, this is completely irrelevant."

Sharpen your blade, shield yourself, and then use stone shaping to slam the door shut on the guy who's in it. He has the most red dots, so he's probably the most powerful. If you strike him down before he has a chance to do anything then you'll throw the others off balance and terrify them. The element of surprise is a wonderful thing, so use it to decapitate this raid party.
The pudding can absorb demon souls without you having to do anything, right? Set it down near the leader and let it do its job.

At that point you can try to intimidate them. These are demons, so they respect power.
Something like "Your boss is dead. If you don't want to join him then go cower in the corner."
Obviously, you should be killing the stronger ones while you say this. Leave the human-sized ones for last. They're the most likely to submit, and you could use them as test subjects.
Do you know what happens when you drain a demon's tainted power? I sure don't!

Use density on yourself and a venom/sharpen mix on your shoulder whips. Blaze through them for the boss at the back and try to rake as many demons as you can with the venom on the way. Maybe go through the multi-legged ones on the left first. They seem to be the quicker demons so if you can kill or hamstring them then that's good.

Down a healing potion, then start absorbing the souls of the dead. You can talk while doing this.
I'm pretty sure you can't trust these demons. Specifically, you can't trust them to not do anything to Neve; a dangling steak will tempt even a loyal dog. Could you try to recover magic that would let you bind them to your orders?
To the Felyne: "You are safe here, Felyne. What is your name? Are you from the same tribe as Elnora?"

To the demons: "You three. What are your names? Do you know why you were brought here? What sort of vile acts did your former master inflict upon the world recently?"

Can you resurrect the small human-like one you killed? If so then do that as soon as you've absorbed the other corpses. This will terrify them almost as much as absorbing their former allies, but will also show we don't intend to absorb them as well.
Then create a stone prison and have all the demons wait in there for you to deal with them.
We need El to see them imprisoned before we bind them or anything, since if she sees them walking around freely she's going to be very upset.

As far as the girl? Invite her for tea and lunch. Find out more about her over the meal, like where she's from, what she does for a living, that sort of thing.
If nothing else she could help look after Neve, since Legion and El are field agents and you have your work.

I would suggest splitting the girl and the demons up until you have a handle on what is going on. Put them all in separate cells for now and interrogate D1 first and then the non-demon girl. Try to find out what she was trying to summon, what their purpose was, what they are loyal to and what their goals are. Then confirm the stories with D2 or D3. See if the girl wants to join you and what her background story is, but I would be wary of putting her anywhere near Neve for now... Speaking of which you should reassure Neve after drinking a healing potion or sewing your body back together a bit. Is the corruption side effects wearing off now that you've had an outlet?

Also collect the souls and preserve the body parts for fun shenanigans! Maybe set one of the less squeamish demon servants to help out. If you didn't wreck them too thoroughly maybe you can make some mindless warsteeds for yourself and Legion. Like direct spine-link controlled warbeasts to ride. Just plug into the creatures bodies and assume direct control. This walking business is tedious.

"I'm fine, Neve. It was just a magic rush, nothing to worry about. This is Liirial, she was the prisoner of some demons who showed up. It's not polite to ask about such things, but the answer to your last question is 'biology'.

Just say you were a bit giddy before due to your experiments. Just give her the short story. Some demons tried to break in. You defeated them and the remaining ones work for you. Also you have a new guest. Introduce Liirial.

Scary Necro option: Say you don't know why her breasts are so huge, but if she really wants to know you could cut them off and take them apart to find out...

Silly option: She drinks lots of milk.

No. 463542 ID: bf54a8

slow and speed are opposites of the same school. depends on if you are going to be in one vs one fights or you vs a bunch of dudes more. mass battles would be best with speed. if a lone super powerful dudes are more likely then weaken.

as for our guest, right now is perhaps not the best time for a full interogation, but perhaps you should exchange some conversation to the affect of what she knows about recent demon activity, things like that, and inform her of our intent, what with hunting down demons and investing corpses with legion-souls.

Well you're not a half bad summoner if you could summon Legion. Perhaps you could build another host body so Liirial can summon some kind of spirit into it? Start the practical lessons straight away to get her hooked.

Tell her you're working on making the world a better place to live. She could be helping you protect children instead of helping demons hunt them down for food and pleasure. How's that for justice? Regarding your appearance - maybe you should point out that looking good like her certainly has its advantages, but that soft skin won't protect her against demon claws. There's only one person in the room scary enough to make monsters cower and it has worked out pretty well for both you and her so far.

If there's no signal or you don't find anything out of place then just try to walk across the swamp somewhere further along and keep doing multiple passes over the swamp as if you were cutting the area of the swamp into smaller pieces with as little crossover as possible. It's not the worlds best search method, but it's not like you're on even terrain either.

Go for it. Keep looking, but check the immediate area closely first. If there was one flower at this mana hotspot then there might be some more hidden away nearby. If you find them use your weapon to carefully dig them up with the surrounding soil so you get them as intact as possible. Too bad the mana levels prevent you from using earth shaping to get them with 100% intact root systems...

Also ask Necro how long it would be worth continuing the search. When will the seal be complete? I guess you could alternatively aim to be back at base by nightfall.

Get the flowers gently (with a large amount of dirt around them with the root system intact to minimize transplanting shock... get master to send you tools), get a large bag of bog dirt in addition to that for making the base of a flower bed for those.

Next we should check out her village, they urgently needed healing remember.

On the way there be on the lookout for the magic wood master needs to make demon detecting wards.

Hopefully after we are done with the village we can try to go back to the dragon corpse and carve up some useful parts. (or maybe the master can go to the dragon corpse and set up a temporary mobile workshop to use what he can there).

Let her know you'll be a lot better off once you're in an area where you can use your magic with no risk to yourself. Also you need to consider asking Necro to set you up with natural attack/defense body parts so you don't have to improvise weapons. Like his spine whips or maybe some kind of arm blades.

I don't suppose there is anything useful on these minor demons? Perhaps they've attained some strange property from living in a high mana environment like magic resistant skin or sensitive magic detection organs?

Send one of the spider's venom sacs back to the boss so he can send you an antidote.
Bleeding helps flush poison, so don't treat her wounds until you've treated her for poisoning.

Also, send the lamia corpse through already - it's a poor necromancer who can't resurrect the recently deceased, but this case is much more complicated than simple death and getting worse. Hurry up!

Ask the lamia what her name is, and if she has any family in the area.

Bleeding is also fatal in of itself. And applying suction removes insignificant amounts of poison and causes damage.
You should use a compression bandage (tourniquet are harmful IRL but with magic they might work since immediate saving of life is more important then secondary damage which can be repaired via magic)
Most important things to do is to keep the affected area lower then the heart (ask her where a lamia's heart is and position her appropriately; although at the same time its best not to move the patient) and to keep the person calm (exertion = faster heartrate = faster poison spread).

This is also a demon bite (for all we know the poison is actually a magical effect) and the victim is a lamia and not a human... And if she can't see then things are serious, so its best to consult an actual trained expert like our master ASAP.
>>
No. 490233 ID: 7003a8

>>489981
Applying suction causes the flesh in the area to swell, which works to PREVENT irrigation. Never apply suction to a wound if you don't have the training to do it properly.

As far as bleeding goes? We have an idea how long she's been bleeding for at minimum and can see how much she's bled in that time.
While it LOOKS bad, over the past minute or so she hasn't actually lost much blood at all. Even untreated she would have quite awhile before she passed out, and in that time the wound would have a fair chance of stabilizing on its own. While it's certainly not something to just ignore, the bleeding isn't actually a threat at the moment.

If we ignore the possibility of magical or ordinary poison, the REAL danger here would be shock. Given the nature of the stress she's under I'd expect her capillaries are dilated, and with all this water around she'll probably need help keeping warm. Set down something as a blanket on the nearest dry patch of land and lay her back down on it. Have her relax while you try to warm her up, and wait for the boss to get back to you about poison.

Can you throw your voice around, like make it sound like your everywhere at once, because if you can Maybe you could do this to try and scare them away or at least find out what they want. If they find you and don't know who you are and ask what you are doing here just say you live here and if they ask why you live in a crypt say you were practicing magic in your youth and it backfired, badly scaring you to the point were everyone thought you were a monster so you ran away and this was the first place you found that give you a roof over your head. And if they want a fight then just try knocking them out or something, I mean just killing a bunch of random people even if it's a home invasion then having your enemies find out about it would probably send a bunch of paladins to come down here next and we have enough problems as it is without adding them to the mix.

As the Necromancer patiently listen in the darkness, the intention of the group become clearer as well as their nature:they seems to be a group of pirates, hoping to use the large crypt necro dig inside the mountain as a slave trade operation, as they finish carry all the crate inside a huge lizardman enter the hideout, followed by two armored humans
Lizard:"Eh, it took long enough to finish carrying all this, we have quite a bit of luck finding this place! HAHAHAHA! Did you already noticed our patron the location of this place?"

exploding head is a total waste of a perfectly good body, remember we need bodies as a resource.

Bring out your demons and capture or kill the slavers, interrogate the captured slavers for the location of the rest of their operation and then attack it.
Kill all slavers, keep their corpses, capture all property (ships, carts, horses, etc), free the slaves.

The only way to keep a low profile in this situation is to slaughter everyone, slave and slaver. And that causes its own set of problems (with our employees as well as when people track them down later on).

If we let them move in they will find us eventually or disrupt our operations.
If we scare them off or make a deal then word would spread.
If we kill slavers and free slaves, well word will spread as well but it will at least be positive-ish. Especially if we talk to them first... Perhaps we could concoct a memory suppressing potion for the slaves? They could just all wake up together in a clearing in the forest, free, unbound, with supplies, and no memories of the past few days (and us).

Rock shape the door closed to keep them from sending a messenger, then rock shape a spear through the huge lizard's abdomen. Not his chest, since we want to question him.

A memory wipe is a great idea, but if we can't do that we can start rock-shaping a town and greenhouse inside the mountain to keep the captives and any slavers that surrender.
They wouldn't have to do any work for us obviously. Prisoners, not slaves.

Of course, any species they have that paladins would kill on sight would be free to go after we find out where they live.

And yeah ask this guy everything he knows about the spell so we know if we can break it. Then its about time we created a real abomination using the mages soul, a real hulking mountain of undead flesh to strike terror into our enemies.

ask how the little worm found out about this place and how likely is it for us to run across any of his friends trying to find him in the future, because we already have demon's attacking us every other day and that's increasing as time goes on as well and things are hectic enough as it is.

Knowing about the spell will probably tell us more about his master than anything he could say, but I doubt he knows much of anything about how the spell works beyond what he said. Still, it never hurts to ask.

If he doesn't know enough to help you break the spell, then he can order her to obey your commands and disregard his. You can always leave him comatose in a cell while you're investigating.

I guess you could try to figure out what sort of spell it was and its weaknesses.

* What kind of magic does his master use? Alchemy? Blood? Souls? Tattoos? Spirits? Demons?
* Did she enter a pact willingly or against her will?
* How did the process of binding her to the lizard happen? Any strange rituals or command words?

Perhaps you could make a more intelligent undead servant to help you manage your base? You need a cook/butler/maid to keep all your associates fed and happy. You also need some fast and sneaky servants to help gather materials and information.

Is keeping the lizard viable or would you be better off digesting him for magic power or to use as a magic weapon for your bioweapon creature?

If you do make an 'abomination' then perhaps you could give it a face that's kind and friendly looking except when in battle. Otherwise it might spook your guests.

the necromancer move the lizard closer to his face "I need to know more about this spell, first, do you know how to break it?"
"N-no, my master never told me how to do i-"
N:"Second! Can you order her to listen to my command instead of yours?"
"N-no it wont work, Master told me he made it so that only i could order the girl around!"
"Hmm...Did she enter a pact willingly or against her will? How did the process of binding her to the lizard happen? Any strange rituals or command words?
I-I have no idea, he just assigned me that girl, then told me to look for a new location for his slave trade!"
N:"how did you find out this place, what about the men that followed and died here?"
"M-mercenaries, we found this place by chance!, i still have to inform master of this place!"
N:" one last question, what you know about your masater? what magic he use? where he live?"
I know next to nothing about him! He use blood glyphs, can summon demon servants and spirits, he also taught me what i know about necromancy and doll making!"
"WHERE he live?!"
"He live in the main island desert in a black tower, but I no idea how to find the road to the tower, I was never awake when-"
the necromancer let the lizard fall to the ground "useless" he cast a spell and the lizard die again " I dont think it will be safe to let him have a body, for now i will make him stay in a pudding,also I have much to do now, crates to open girls to examine, body to melt in mystical material and to store...what should i do first? besides assimilating the mage souls?

Ah, the mage souls, belonging to normal humans only have to spell i can learn each :
- ice arrows: you saw what it does: ice sword: I can only trow one icicle at a time, but large as a man
- Light shield: the classical magical barrier, but more effective against undeads; Heal: cure wounds, it will actually cause me some damage and quite a bit of pain for me to cast it, but so will it do any other holy spells, Yes true resurrection it's going hurt, a lot

might as well start with the creates, since they seemed to just be starting the trade here hopefully they won't have anything alive in them and just have some basic materials for us to arm any future servants with, then we can move on to the girl to see what we can learn from her.

Look outside first. There aren't any more of them that might get away are there?

I think Ice Arrows is where it is at. It devastated Necros demon minions in one salvo so it should be good at clearing out swarms of weak enemies. Necro and Legion are also reliant on the longbows for ranged attacks. I imagine the ice arrows will be utterly devastating if they can be combined with the venom spell.

Would it be possible to place the holy magic soul in a new guardian minion that feels no pain? Perhaps one with whip weapons or long limbs so it could still attack from behind the barrier. Alternatively could the heal/shield soul be assimilated by Neve or Liirial? They might be more the healing types.

You should quarantine the captive girl. Can you put her in an anti-scrying circle to cut her off from external magic? It might be that the master still has full command of her. In fact he might have been using her as a tool to keep track of what the lizard. was doing. There was no real transfer of 'ownership' after all. She might still be a puppet controlled from somewhere else.

"the girl is already been sent in a secure area and most of this mountain is impossible to scree, the density of the corruption disturb most long range magics, that's also why we have to use puddings to communicate
ice arrows learned, the light shield is only limited to the user and it's a sphere around the user, who can still trow thing out of it or spells, although i will lean toward heal, cause we also have to help the felyne village" as he open the door toward the outside and take a peek
"hmm, there's a bunch of mules outside, but I can't see anyone else...I had an idea, while I wait for your host to bring back the magical wood, I'll leave out a bunch of soulpuddings to operate as sentries, for now I only have three to spare, tough

Also, Neve and Liirial need to have their souls bounded to mine to learn a spell directly form me and it's a really invasive spell, but I can tell their magical affinity is quite above the average and should learn to cast spell without chanting quite faster then a normal mage...so, do i try to figure out the spell cast on the girl or open the boxes first?

Separate the crates from each other and check them for traps before opening them. It sounds like you're up against another necromancer after all; The kind that gives your specialization a bad name.

Regarding the elf, try simply taking off all her armor and clothing. See if there are any marks or alterations.

Heal. You're acquiring quite a retinue, and while you can cast spells through Legion the same CAN'T be said for performing surgery.

While we do need to get a crowd control spell, none of these are actually GOOD at it. The ice spikes are suppressive, sure, but they're too directed to take control of the battlefield. For that we need something with a splash radius or area denial, like a fireball or spiked wall.

Move the boxes inside, make sure they aren't hauling living cargo, THEN figure out the spell.
Taking inventory can wait until you've examined the spell, since we don't know what the spell does when the mage dies - for all we know it releases a soul-necrosis affliction or something.

You should probably start working on moving, opening and taking stock of what is in those boxes. If you don't screw this up then we'll recommend you for the best new body that gets made. You want that, don't you?

After some time...
OK, we just finished carry everything inside, I can sense that 5 small boxes have something that produce a lot of mana inside, but they are also kept locked by a spell,I'm not able to break the spell, but the boxes don't seems so strong, maybe we break the box itself, unless you think it's too dangerous.
Other interesting things were a box full of large eggs, I don't know wich species belong to, tough, three box full of glass containers filled with various powders and plants and a box full of spears.

No, no, no. What if it's a stasis spell storing some kind of horrible mutant? Or a trap to catch would-be thieves?

Take the boxes of magical stuff, the eggs, and the plants and powders and stuff, and set those aside. Tell the necromancer what's in them so he can handle those personally. It's his area of expertise, so they're his responsibility.


You know how to write, right? Take a full inventory of everything else so he can look over a list to decide what goes where. If you can't write, then you can start unpacking the furniture if you like.
Good job!
>>
No. 519596 ID: 87f756

Move the magically locked boxes and eggs to Necros secure workshop. He has experience with those kind of things. Don't open them. If you release something dangerous then that won't reflect well on you.

See if you can find Neve and Liirial. Start putting up the furniture instead with them. This place needs some improvement! Set up shelves, side boards, beds, tables and the like. Then place the fabric, flowers and powders on the shelves so they're visible and easy to access.

Try to identify some of the powders and plants. Look for makers marks or identifying features on the furniture and metal plates as well. Maybe you can figure out where they came from or give Necro some hint as to what they are worth...
Put the spears in a basket or place them in a crate with the spear tips pointing up. We might use them to make a trap later or something. If you can find Necros armoury then just move the spears there. Put the empty crates in a store room somewhere. There must be one around.

When it's more or less done you can report in to Necro. Tell him that everything is ready for inspection apart from the magically sealed boxes and the mysterious eggs that were put aside for him to deal with.
