<<Music: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T08NzN0FoGw >>

There is a man playing a guitar here, quietly. A glowing horn juts from his head, and the road continues on either side.

 

.

greet him, introduce yerself, ask who he his... blah. Also say that's a nice song. I like it.

"Welcome, traveler of the planes." says the man, setting aside the guitar gently. "This is the land of the dead. There are two paths through it, just as there are two sides to the coin of existence. You may either take Memory, or Oblivion. Both have their own dangers, and I can warn you of neither."

Memory sounds significantly less painful than Oblivion. It'll probably crash less, too.

"Kehahah, how witty of you. Memory it is."

Wait, did he hear... What?!

The path to Oblivion closes.

"Enjoy your stay, and remember: Not even death can save you from us!"

With a cackle, the man evaporates.

Next time you see that guy, kill him dead and eat the shiny gem in his head for power. Now go find out what I just got you into.

>>67146
What? No. That was Diablo. Don't mess with his soulstone.

Forge on, Harumda! Read some gravestones.

Oh hey did he leave his guitar? Check it out!

>>67160
That's WHY we eat his soulstone!

It's a bad idea to eat other demons, on the principle that a few have very strong regeneration. Same goes with eating their special bits: All sorts of surprises, all of them nasty. I put the case in my Bag, and get moving.

>>67183
Oh, that?

When a demon becomes too old, worn from battle, or simply bored with his lot, his body and soul (same thing) condense into a jewel. Depending on the strength of will, his title, and other factors, the size and shape of the jewel can change. The process happens about two hours after 'death'.

It's customary to leave them where they lie, and let the Undead handle the remains.

For some perspective, the largest Demon Soul is about the size of one of those trees. It's what converts lost souls like you guys into full on Demons.

They're also a potent reagent in mortal spells as well, and allow the demon to possess bodies. However, human bodies don't last more than ten minutes down here... Something about oxygen? So that last guy was probably just an illusory ward.

Carve "PEPERONY AND CHEASE" onto the stone, and continue on.

Could you bargain with a lost soul to present him with the gem? A demon body in exchange for service?

There's no particularly good way to directly gain power through killing, then? A shame. And also kind of surprising.

>>67187
Eh, not really. The tranformation process is very... delicate. What you're suggesting is somewhat like rubbing sperm all over a woman and expecting a child. You might be able to bend a lost Soul into a body from one Soulstone, but it would be weak and nigh-worthless. You'd need the stone of the First Fallen to make proper demons.

At any rate, I carve the strange message into the gravestones and move on.

>>67188
((Non picture update for this, it is kinda important!))

Well...

Killing, working, all actions in hell do the same thing: Confer titles. They are very important to a demon, as much a part of our power as a human being's bones.

>>67190
Sounds like the trick is just learning where to stick your dick.

So titles are earned for what you do. And given this poor dead bastard's title, it's not always strictly positive.
I've got too many questions and not enough /questdis/ thread, so let's just carry on and not try to earn a title by defiling every grave and soul stone we come across. Who's the next dead guy down Memory Lane?

more complicated runes, too.

So, pragmatically speaking, is there any way for you to derive energy from these jewels? To feed off the power of the demon within?

It's fine if it's a taboo, I just want to know if it is possible.

>>67198
That's what I was hoping for. Sounds like no, though.

>So, pragmatically speaking, is there any way for you to derive energy from these jewels? To feed off the power of the demon within?

It's taboo for a reason: It's like powering magic with souls, a VERY dangerous practice, even if you know how to use magic. The process...

(Harumda pauses to gather the proper wording in his head)

Is... inim... imini... inimical to life itself and reality as well. Something about deadly Outsiders and tears in the fabric of creation?

Anyway. Demon magic uses human souls (or, rather, The Lost Souls) and Human Magic uses Demon Souls, these gems.

Do it the other way round and risk death and worse.

So it's an Alchemy on Living thing. Do it and see the gate and be eaten. Move it right along then, Fonzy.

...Right. I get the feeling they are telling me something...

A mass grave. Warriors love war, love fighting, love killing, and love conquering. I lead them all, taking this side, then recovering that side, raiding, defending... there must be millions of deaths here. Possibly trillions. It's like glimmering, whispering sand.

>>67206
....Hm.

This veritable sea of warring souls, what happens when one of those souls loses? Basically, I am wondering if, once rendered into jewel form, is it possible for the mind, the sapience of a demon to be lost, for any reason.

The more we understand about a demon's life cycle and biology (or lack thereof), the more we can advise you.

A jewel'd demon cannot interact with the world of the living, for the most part. Demons can't posses other demons. since we are literally made from soulstuff. If the attempt was made, you'd end up with some horrific, insane combination of the two.

Notably, these 'Chimeras' are the main elite of the Unholy's fighting force. The Undead despise them for such acts.

Jewels last forever. The eldest one is roughly twenty trillion years old. Jewels never age on the inside, either. Were you to use the eldest to posses a human, it would be as if mere seconds passed.

>>67566
Would it be possible to put a Demon Soul and a Human Soul into one body?

Like.... take an empty vessel, like a dead body, and put both in?

Well, yeah. That's how possession works. The two souls inhabit the same body. The demon allows the human to use demonic magic including instant transport, and the human allows the demon to access the Human Domains.

>>67581
So, it doesn't matter if the body matches either of the souls, then?

Hey, you've mentioned demons and humans. Do angels exist in your world?

>>67581
What if you made a body out of soulstuff (Is all of hell soulstuff, or would you have to cut bits off demons to make it) and allowed a jewel to possess it?

Yes. But they don't often do much. They are less active than demons or humans, only interfering when things become serious. Like, world-ending serious.

The big G himself isn't much of a doer, either. To be honest, he's kinda a bastard.

Hell is made from pure Chaos. wrapped into form by the mind and will of Lucifer before he died. As such, since his death, it's slightly unstable.

Soulstuff is never a nuetral entity. It is ALWAYS keyed to the owner. So no.

>>67600

Like I said.

Long story.

But it's the main reason we want humanity dead.

>>67630
Why doesn't anyone just possess someone's dead body with his soulstone? It's not like he's been blasted into oblivion.

>>67664
Well...

A normal possession isn't a problem because normal demon souls simply fill up the the space available in a body.

Imagine being force fed 2000 gallons of water instantly.

I see some kind of blue thing in front of you. Another soulstone? Cut it out with a shockwave then summon an earth pillar underneath it this time, and jump/fly up to stomp it.

Clarification~

Harumda has just sliced through the stone seen here: >>69661

Remember: linked soulstones show the colors of the others. Destroyed ones become clear.

>>69806
I'll change this to: Get some distance again and throw shockwaves until another soulstone is visible.

Fucking finally. Ugh, it felt like it took weeks.

UPGRADE ACHEIVED!

Remember, these are your options:
Upgrade a normal ability. These are in blue.

Upgrade a Lord ability to usefulness. These are grey. Upon unlock, they will be usuable once in a long while. More points spent in a Lord power allow it to grow in power, and be usable more and more often.

Last, you can upgrade Swordmastery. This grants you greater skill with magical blades, unlocking higher and higher tiers of power with them. The current level of this is 2/5. Up next is blade statcard. Remember, Swordmaster applies to all blades!

I'll vote for Swordmastery, sounds like it'd be a good long-term investment to improve into.

Earth elemental! It proved incredibly useful here. I'd love to see more of it.

Yeah, let's go with earth elemental.

As great as sword mastery is, I have to go with earth as well.
