And here's the point where we realize that all that fellowship and willpower means diddly in a fist-fight between hulks.

Don't bother trying anything fancy. Beat our foe about the face and neck until it stops.

You strike the opponent for more than one third of his hp, and knock him out with one fell swing, he is bleeding and will most likely die from his wounds...

Guard - Holly shit! They're killing each other!

Guard - Good, let them! This will even the odds!

Guard - Oh fuck, that one looks strong!

>_ _ _

Lummox A is a feral beast, do not let him live to slaughter more!

Use a wolf's execution and tear out his throat with Lummox B's hands and mouth.

>Guard - Oh fuck, that one looks strong!
Let's give them an opening. Face away from them, raise arms and roar triumphantly.

This form is pretty fucking strong. Shame we can't keep it for fear of spreading the dire to other humans. Break the unconscious ones neck.

Speak so that Pridwen can hear "Be sure to burn the corpses. We'll visit you to talk soon", and then use our fantastic strength to crush our own windpipe, before recalling back to Eadoo.

Okay let's get back to sorting out the eadoos. Assuming they didn't kill each other by now

>>694268
Oh and make sure to kill both lummoxen before recalling. Is this body strong enough to snap its own neck? Oh! Can we rip its head off and hold it out then talk though the severed head?

>Use a wolf's execution and tear out his throat with Lummox B's hands and mouth.

You grab the wounded dire man and bite deep into his throat! This feels wrong... something hardwired into this body's brain opposes this action... you feel compelled to kill and eat the humans, specifically... those who haven't succumb to the dire must be devoured! Fortunately you've overpowered these compulsions... you rip his throat our as blood gushes over your face and into your mouth, it's revolting!! unlike that fresh undired blood from the little girl...

Well they started fucking already. That should keep them out of trouble for awhile.

Do we have any other targets we can push this guy at before offing the body?

Have the dark elf summon us since he knows who we are

Algeb is unconscious and Eadoo is "Charmed"?

If you've all forgotten, we can and do watch our people fuck sometimes. I find it alarming Eadoo is charmed and we should do something about it. My suggestion is we grab Pridwen (being careful not to hurt her) and dire man dash back to Eadoo, as this kinda seems like an organized attack to me all of the sudden.

I say we should grab Pridwen because to some degree I expect she's involved, though it's more likely the witch that wrote that note.

Regardless, lets go protect our peeps.

You contact Aiden and have him summon you.

Aiden - Gat my friend, what was that terrible howl? I just managed to get my lovelies to safety... But the commotion seems to have died down, by the by, here! I managed to score a rather impressive piece of noqual sky metal, in part due to my lovelies conversation skills, but mostly thanks to a promised foursome tonight... I won't say I'm not looking forwards to it, but I would prefer it not be a trade token... You could save the blacksmith with that shard, but noqual skymetal is very very powerful indeed.. you could boost your possession abilities with it tenfold!

>The metal resonates with your flesh, as though you are kin somehow...

That's fucking badass.

Plan should be the same though, secure Eadoo (unless she is just fucking, and we can sense that). Before we go, we should say something nasty about Magnus, so they don't get the wrong idea.

Gatling gains 1.5 levels for defeating both dire humans alone. (so blade goes up one level and avatar goes up two since it's underlevel)

Select two stats to gain +5 and one perk from the blade list and one perk from the avatar list. (total two perks)/(another vote will be amde for the second avatar perk, as new perks unlock more new perks)


>Avatar Perks<

>Look the part [Gatling takes on a more divine appearance, +20 to convincing other that you're more than mere mortal]

>Focused domain* [Gatling can cast intermediate spells from one of their domains (more level 1 spells and level 2 spells)]

>Advanced Orison 1 [Chose one level 1 spell to become a level zero spell]

>Focused Orizon* [Learn a few more level zero spells from a single domain]

>Mantra pool* [Gatling's maximum mantra increases by 5]



>Blade Perks<

>Status [At a glance, Gatling can see a persons Level, Class, Alignment and positive or negative Status worthy of note]

>Shape changer [Taping into Trixy's soulblood, Gatling can shapeshift into other metal weapons]

>Telepathic voice [you can speak telepathically to anyone (friend or foe) within your telepathic range]

>Long distance call [your telepathic reach is doubled in size]

>Advanced tongues [you comprehend any written language]

>Taste of culture [at a glance, Gatling can identify a persons culture and knows a bit of said cultures baggage]

>Advanced Multy-possession* [dominate an additional person] (can be taken multiple times)

>Throwing [+15 Bs when used as a throwing weapon]

>Greater hatred [plus 30% critical hit chance, when rolling to wound yourself.]

>Spiritual empathy [Gatling can control his spiritual distance]

>Glutton Gatling [+20 to checks made to devour souls]

>Internal discipline [additional +20 to avoid devouring souls]

>Greater flames [Gatlings fire is hotter, dealing more damage]

>Lust from pain [Gatling and those possessed gain temporary stat bonuses instead of feeling pain (+15 Ws, Bs, Con & Fell)]

>She's a keeper~ [Your relationship with Trixy grows deeper, developing into something beautiful]

>The Power Of Love! [In Trixy's hands you form the blade of love. Her love for you is quite contagious with this weapon in hand~]

>Hyper sensory [Gatling can induce heightened senses to those possessed. the intensity can be controlled with a will save, a slight brush might translate into horrible pain or uncontrollable pleasure. though lesser intensities are possible...]

>Advanced bodily controls [Gatling has a greater control over possessed bodies. Gatling can command the body to sleep or wake up at will, induce compulsive actions such as spasms, orgasms, regurgitation or paralysis, and other normally difficult/impossible to actively control actions]

>_ _ _

I think it'd be remiss if we didn't finish maxing will, so +wil +int, and for reason I won't state Greater hatred, and for the avatar one, focused domain on community.

If the rest aren't big on greater hatred, another blade with multi-possession.

+Int +Cha
Focused Domain
Advanced Multi-Possession

+5 to Will and Charisma

"Look the part" so we can give our followers an afterlife. This is SUPER IMPORTANT.

Also, "She's a keeper~" since it's a plot-unlocker that will lead to some great abilities and perks.

>>695649
I think it was only the two Dire Humans.

Personally I think we should either #1:shred this one's mind (and possibly omnomnom it's soul, if it has one), #2 exit it and use a Lust Domain ability to bind/paralyze it, or #3 activate Un/Holy Flames INSIDE IT'S BODY AS WE BURST OUT IT'S BACK, and pose heroically while using torchlight to glow radiantly.

Also, the Eadoos Enthralling each other if practically BEGGING for shenanigans to occur.

Thirdly we should probably use Destined Birth on Shenzi & Eadoo's science baby to give it an extra boost in potency. That way the body we use in our non-deific persona can start out even stronger.

>>695681
I'd say Focused Domain and Internal discipline

Don't know about the stats though.

>>695705
I agree with this

>>695705
Seconded

Anything other than the goddamn Trixy perks. I swear you idiots think with your dicks.

>>695705
>>695821
>>695822

I agree with the above

>>695824
Agree, we have more important things to focus on for right now.

Int and Will

Look the Part because we have to if we're going to pursue this religion thing.

Internal Discipline because although it ended up interesting for us, we need to stop eating souls of people we care about. Also need to prove ourselves to Eadoo again.

Oh and let's check back on the Eadoo's to see which one is on top-I mean see if we can remedy the situation-I mean stick our dick somewhere interesting.

>>695824
This has nothing to do with sex and everything to do with the Trixie perk line being a set of plot flags which unlock entire perk trees and bonuses.
You want our Avatar to get shapeshifting? There you go.

>I would have rathered more guards die...
Remember, guys, most of the guards are corrupt and evil.
>avatar goes up two
Go for Look the Part, then. People who see the body flying around think it's an angel already anyways, so may as well have a toggleable to enhance that.
Plus Afterlife comes after that, right?
>Telepathic voice [you can speak telepathically to anyone (friend or foe) within your telepathic range]
And go for this for the blade. This will even further help support Richard being something great since we can still use blade powers through him.

I don't want to shapeshift if it requires us to focus more on Trixy. She is such a pandering, bad character, there to appeal to your dick and your min maxing stupidity. In a game that's got such rich and diverse characters focusing on the worst one because it nets us some neat perk is foolish.

Frankly I'd rather the entire quest fail than us continue down the Trixy line.

>>695945
Second.

Will+Cha
Look the Part
Telepathic Voice

will
int
look the part
internal discipline

Gatling ups their Will and charisma by 5

(she's a keeper, internal discipline and telepathic voice are drawled, but SK had four votes and two against, where the others had two... I'm going for Sk based on that...unless my math is wrong?)

>She's a keeper [something has changed, and your not the only one to feel it, perhaps for the better. you feel ready to take certain unsteady steps and so does someone else (Trixy feels comfortable with you, knowing you, or rather a sizable part of you, loves her... something inside you has changed]

>>696053
Grey angel saved it, I don't have to feel bad about that tie breaker!

>Internal discipline [you've furhtered your ability to not kill your allies when you try to posses them (+20 to not devouring souls)]

>Look the part [Gatling has unlocked a fragment of his true form made manifest! At will you can cause divine light to irrupt from your hands, eyes, mouth and cannon. Gatling also floats several inches off the ground and can move at running speed. Furthermore your voice echoes with divine grace. This can be deactivated at will (+30 to convincing people your not a normal mortal person)]

- - - - - - - - - - -

Avatar goes up one level without affecting your over all level since it's your off class.

Select one perk from the avatar list.

>Avatar Perks<

>Undeniable appearance [your godlike appearance greatens making it hard to deny your otherworldly nature, that and clothes manifest on you at will and you can fly a bit faster and higher... (+30 to convince people you're a god, +60 to convince your not meer mortal)]

>Afterlife [you gain ownership over a small pocket dimension in the spirit plain, the souls of your worshipers, and unclaimed souls that die in your name, find themselves in your pocket, upon death. To do with what ever you please~ the pocket is however somewhat small and unfurnished, it may require renovations and you'll have to speak to the land lord about rent...]

>Focused domain* [Gatling can cast intermediate spells from one of their domains (more level 1 spells and level 2 spells)]

>Advanced Orison 1 [Chose one level 1 spell to become a level zero spell]

>Focused Orizon* [Learn a few more level zero spells from a single domain]

>Mantra pool* [Gatling's maximum mantra increases by 5]

>_ _ _

>>696065
Damn, I wanted to unlock the polymorph perk so we could change into any form we wanted, adjust physical stats on a whim, and be effectively unkillable in combat.
Oh, well. I guess it's ok to be better at not eating people we don't want to eat.

Afterlife, because that's a flat-out requirement for any deity.

Afterlife

Yeah, afterlife just cause it makes us legit to the plebes.

after life for sure

Afterlife. We promised told Algeb we have one and need to get that underway.

Afterlife. It's also going to perhaps allow us to keep in contact with the inevitable casualties among our allies - maybe even make it easier to resurrect or reincarnate them. Also provide a buffet of souls if we ever turn down the dark devourer path...

>>696065
Fuck yeah Afterlife

also, the eadoos' are, without a doubt, fucking each other, at least that succubus kiss ability finally got some use

Afterlife. Because sending your loyal allies to hell is just plain wrong.

>Gatling has gained [afterlife] You can travel to and from your pocket dimension at will, your followers however need to get there the good old fashion way... for now... Time is slowed down in this pocket, similarly to in the mind and soul, (about x20 slower) when you travel to your pocket dimension, your body is still present in the real world, but your body is not present in the pocket, when you are in the real world... (so, it's just like possession, only for a whole dimension...)

Inside your pocket dimension, there is no wind, it's not hot or cold, there is no light source nor is there shadows worth mentioning... it looks like it goes on for ever in all directions, but you feel well aware that there is a finite space in this realm... The ground, walls and ceiling are pure white with no texture. But there seems to be a small spruce forest creeping out from what you decide is the south east corner of the pocket... the grass is dying and the trees are not doing well... It's dead quiet... more quiet than anything you've ever witnessed... no bird or bugs, no wind, no nothing...

*BANG BANG BANG!!*

Suddenly you hear banging on what sounds like a wooden door... The sound echoes though the nothingness, lending out from deep withing the forest...

>_ _ _

Will we be able to stylize our pocket later?

Go find the door and answer it.

This place is boring. Maybe you can add some spirit buildings that will (eventually) have an effect on the physical world?

Also put some clothes on, you look like a hobo who peed in a gelatin mold.

Open the door and instantly lazer anyone on the other side in the dick area. Remember, this is YOUR space; you control the parameters around here.

That incudes the power to fire giant stun lazers from your ass.

the knocker is probably this landlord person. probably need to pay prayer energy or something. hopefully whatever it is has an honest claim to it, like death itself or an overdeity.

Cromwell - Why Hello~ I introduce myself, I am Mr. Cromwell or Sir Cromwelingson if you please, and I am happy to be the very first entity to make your acquaintance on this lovely twilight~! I couldn't help but notice that you are a new deity in the neighborhood and would absolutely adore to extent a personal greetings to you from the rest of the civilized spiritual world~ (Smile Crom, remember to smile... exposed teeth, mortals like exposed teeth...)

>Near behind him is a squat puss ridden man with crab legs, and off to the side sits another well dressed man in a red suit, his face is hidden by a black fedora as he slowly rolls a cigarette...

Cromwell - Now, you must be asking yourself, How am I going to attract the will and souls of many mortals to your new religion without a hand full of souls at your immediate disposition, right~? Well the answer is simple, Advertising! And that's why I'm here~ You see, mortals don't really care about songs from bards or preachures from clerics, mortals love shiny metal and magic doodads! My job is to offer a convenient way to acquire and transport artifacts, relics and macguffins from this realm to the mortal realm, and when those mortals see the sweet magical ass blasting great-sword you gave your paladin, they'll swoon over you and flock to your reliquary to worship you in no time~ So in a nutshell, I'm an Advertising agency~! Say my I come in so we can discuss things in detail?

Red suit - Be careful with your answer friend~ If you invite someone in your pocket dimension, you can't force them out...

Cromswell - (what is he trying to hurt my sales?) Ahh haha too true, too true, I assumed you knew... Hahaha... but I have no ill intentions, I simply would like to go over details and... themes... You see, with my experience in artificery, nearly nothing is impossible, so long as you have enough virgin roses~

>_ _ _

hmmm, ask red what the rules are. does he have any power in here besides unstoppable freeloading? cause if his only power is "wont leave" it will be fine.

also, we already have followers, and... a sort of high priest?

...hooold it.
first, what are virgin roses, and how difficult are they to get.
Aaand...No offense good sir, but we are a more peaceful god. Not exactly inclined towards matters like handing out cleaving axes of fury or an arrow of famination!

First of all what sort of currency are we talking about. Cause we just got roped into this nonsense and are starting out with a blank slate.

And second I am not a ascended mortal but a ascended piece of cutlery so the teeth thing is horribly offensive. (Just joking)

Before we let this guy in we should talk to the other two. Especially that redsuit guy.

NOT INTERESTED.

This is a bad idea. You can practically see the "commissioner's fee" in worshippers. Plus, this is less about religion and more about infestation, so guys like this will subvert their services to take you down.

Take a peek at the neighborhood. Then figure out how you're going to install a turret here.

Oh come now, we could probably use since help here, and magical weapons sent from "heaven" sounds awesome.
That said, I want to know what virgin roses are, and what the other two offer, first.

My guesses on the roses: 1) a literal unpolinated flutter. 2) a rare breed of rose. 3) unbroken hymens or specifically virgin vaginas.

>>696718
The question of how we take virgin sacrifice WAS on our new religion stat card. We chose deflowering, as I recall.

Hah, you have us pegged all wrong sir. We don't want a bunch of freeloaders and other assorted randoms in here. True believers only yeah?

Speak to others if either of you wanna try hurry up, I have a million things to do today.

>>696734
We get our power from worship, and those random loafers are our currency to trade out for powers that do cost souls.

so... they are all different "Advertising agencies" ?

Ahh.. a preserved skull, with but a touch it permits the use of broken limbs as if they were good as new~!

>>696698
You ask the man in red, what the rules are.

Red - oh sure, my pleasure...

Cromwell - Oh don't fret, no need to get up, Clearly you've earned their trust, but I have yet to earn mine... Allow me to explain in all honnestly the rules and if I lie then your red dressed friend can call me out~ though he wont, I simply detest lying...

>The red suited man sits back down and lights his cigarette, it smells of cherry wood...

Cromwell - So, in the spirit realm, there are a long list of rules named the demon code, as the name suggests it was devised by demons and approved by angels. It favors both parties equally and helps maintain a certain balance between the various forces. AS you know, if I were to simply walk into your pocket here and now, you could will me a away instantly with no trouble, but if you invite me in, I would be able to resist you, as such I suggest you get a good lock for that door, maybe even set someone to guard it, wouldn't want a nobody mortal inviting soul eating fiends into your precious realm~

>The red man nods.
Cromwell - another important thing to know is the phrase, "you have my word" if a denizen of the spirit realm makes a promise using that phrase they must uphold it, otherwise a red mark appears on our face... this mark is very difficult to get rid of and requires administrative paperwork... That mark is a terrible plight on anyone here, since it means you can't be trusted... and trust is as good as gold in this land...

>The red man nods again...

Cromwell - And quite possibly the most important thing to know about this place is the phrase, "Shall we have tea instead?" and "We'll meet in court"... If you are attacked in the spirit realm, you can offer to solve the conflict non violently over tea. doing this should cause a small blue ribbon to appear on your wrist, provided you're sincere about your offer, if the assailant refuses, a red ribbon should appear on their wrist... And finally, claiming to meet someone in court. Lawyer devils can hear that phrase from across the universe and tend to flock on you when you shout it... in fact there's probably one on his way right now... IT'S OKAY, I'M JUST GIVING AN EXAMPLE TO A NEW DEITY! Ehh... they'll probably show up anyways... anyhow... All the rules of the demon code are listed in the main entry of the Juristdictum offionatorum, coodinates: 34"22"91 They review the rules every three months so check by every now and again~

>The red man smiles and claps his hands silently...

>>696699
>>696701
you ask him what virgin roses are, and how difficult they are to get.

Cromwell - Ah! so you are indeed very green... Well allow me to show you, this is a virgin rose...

>He pulls a simple, thornless rose from his sleeve... it smells of innocence and pride...

Cromwell - This is the currency of the spirit realm, they are used for trade as well as many rituals, in fact most actions worth note in the spirit realm consume virgin roses, which is why we use them as legal tender... These roses are the literal virginity of fair maidens. You'll acquire them when a mortal maidens virginity is sacrificed to you, whether they be willing or not... You'll note that each flower has ten pedals, these pedals are also currency, like copper coins in a silver... there's also virgin souls... they are worth ten roses and are received when the life of a virgin maiden is sacrificed to you...

>He removes a glowing blue orb, within is a burning slit... it hums slightly... (it looks like blue Sauron)

Cromwell - please be aware that the souls of virgin maidens sacrificed this way do not awake into this realm, they do not sleep, breathe, see, blink, hear, smell, feel, eat, drink, dream or even think... they are as much a person a the coins in a tellers pockets... If this is abhorrent to you, then don't do it, if the idea of ten times the profit for double the effort seems like a good idea then I'll gladly offer my services and lighten your pockets, but do not make a ruckus over this currency, it's more trouble than it's worth... virgin souls have started wars... Virgin souls have ended wars...

Red man - All too true... well said indeed...

Cromwell - Now... since you don't have any money, I doubt you could by any of my goods. So as a sign of good faith and to help you fetch more busyness I'll gladly offer you this complimentary booster pack! (by the gods, booster pack is a terrible name, why did I let my son name it...)

>He hands you a small pack of three cards, wrapped in thin metallic plastic. on the package is an image of a wizard and a barbarian, "Relics and artifacts gen4 The Harrowing ~Revengence~" is written under the mascots...

Cromwell - within are three random cards, all of them work and all of them are yours. you can summon them into the mortal realm at will, but doing so will consume the card. There's no tricks here, no scams, no catch. You have my word~ Here take my busyness card as well.

>The man bows politely and leaves... Hearing that you don't have any money, the crab looking fellow doesn't seem to interested in staying long...

>open pack
>Speak to crab man
>Ignore them both
>_ _ _

Wait on opening the pack for now. Or do it while talking to the Crab guy.

Ask the Crab what he wanted. Tell him we might not have money now but never hurts to know if he has something we want later.

Let's wait on opening the booster pack. Is seeing what the red suit guy has to offer still an option?
If the red suit is willing to wait, we should talk to crab man then red suit.

You need to create a Spirit Mailbox.

Titan Size.

For now, find a way to give the card pack to Trixy. Maybe she can do something with it.

Ask Cromwell (on his 'word') if you can execute enemies in a specific way that allows you to harness their soul power in the Spirit World, as opposed to your current practices. Also ask if you can perform a ritual sacrifice of a virgin yourself. Does the virgin have to be devoted to the entity they are collected by, or can you sacrifice a douche8!+(# that you captured alive?

yeah, see what crab wants first and get their card so you can contact them again once you have some 'money'.

>>696869
pretty sure the card pack exists in here and we should only use the cards when needed. the objects appearing are a big part of their divine-ness. a disarmed warrior suddenly getting a holy sword would cause fuckloads more awe then just finding one.

>booster pack is a terrible name, why did I let my son name it...
If he hadn't left so soon, I would reassure him that in the mortal realm, that's a perfect name, so for dealings with new demigods it's perfect.

Does Cromwell's card list an address if we later agree?
For now, let's ask the crab guy what his business is, in case it's useful when we do get money.

well then, let's see what mister red is here for.

"Hey, man number three, what do you have to offer?
First dude would give us stuff, second dude grants soldiers...Are you in charge of spells or powers or something like that?

Well those two were interesting to say the least.

So what is your story third mystery man? Or woman? Or whatever?

He looks familiar. Did Azmodan @#$% that fat guy with the ponytail from that one DC comic and throw the child in a Brazilian Samurai school?

Whatever, you aren't in the mood to hire people that are affiliated with crabs. Or any other pimp-related diseases.

Yell at third person like disturbed old man.

Thass - Not quite, I'm more of an entrepreneur... Joint Ceo of h.e.l.l. inc. and these days I'm into real-estate... Name's Thassamere. but you can call me the mister landlor... G-E? Gatling is that you? Oh my! you're looking plum peachy cherry I didn't even recognize you, of my devils you're so cute as a little kobold~ Let me guess, cute and small gets you in all the ladies pants these days Hue hue hue~ Wow so I guess your champion became a deity? Good choice honestly, it's a big power market out here... Oh hey! Can I see your champion? I'd love to finally meet my rival, you know shakes hands and wish him luck~ Don't worry I won't hurt him, you have my word~

>He walks in without asking permission...

...we don't have a champion...But you're the landlord right?
So what's the rent like?

>Wow so I guess your champion became a deity?
While that's probably what was supposed to have happened, we ended up stealing that power on such an overpowering instinct that we had no chance of resisting it. As a result, our Champions are still a mortal, so it may be a time before we can bring him here.

Let me guess, you're the Eclipse of our trio?

Question: Is Gatling susceptible to epic fail rolls? Because a lot of those happened and

Look, our champion isn't doing so well. Gatling ate something weird and it's our fault, can you fix that? We need to extract this orb-like thing. Not to put it back where it belongs, mind you. I think the cost for using it isn't pretty.

Anyways... real estate. Get off our lawn. Thank yew.

Do you know us?
Give us your exposition.

>>697843
You probably didn't recognize me because I'm having some trouble recognizing myself.

Yeah so about that champion thing. First of all we have no idea what that even means. And second I think we fucked things up just a little.

Although not in a bad way really. But any plans anyone has made probably need to be rewritten.

Do you know us? Our champion sadly hasn't achieved their lofty goals, but we had a meal of great destiny and... well, like you said, cute.

So you.. are our nemesis? Is it part of this divine thing, there has to be an adversary and all that garbage?

I didn't think it was possible to do it in the first place, if you wanna loose it, you're on your own... Oh how do you like that mask I gave you? Figured you'd want him back after how well he served you years ago~

I can't tell you any spoilers about yourself, unless you specifically ask for them... But in a nut shell, Your half angel mother had a human brother, that man is me~ You and I, we play a game together sometimes, you chose a hero, I chose a villain, someone wins, someone loses, a fun time is had all around~

>>697847

>>697849
Gat - Get off our lawn. Thank yew.

>You try to wave him away, since he doesn't have permission to be here, but yet he remains...

Tass - I'm renting this land to you, I'm the owner... Did you really think I needed your permission to walk on my own ground?

>>697845
Gat - So what's the rent like?

Tass - At the size it is right now, it would go for ten roses a mortal month, however I'm contractually obliged to give you a twenty percent discount since we're blood relatives, that aside I'm gonna give you a real good price since I like you, and I fancy myself the best uncle ever~ So I'll let you off with five virgin roses a month. That being said, the skill you bought covers the first month, so your next rent is due in two mortal months...

>He walks out into the whiteness and cringes...

Tass - Ehhh... I hate these wide open wide planes... so boring.. so... nothing... The last deity wanted a big enchanted Forrest vibe, but canceled before I could even finish putting in the floor... He never took his money back too, so the bill is still just hanging there... I guess I'll give it to you scot free~ I'll have to rip those trees out though... they're outdated and wont set well with the newer models... *sigh* so I guess you may as well chose a whole new floor... What kind of floor would you like for your little piece of paradise~ That being said you could use a place to live in here, maybe a small palace or a big shack? Nice white picket fence, American dream style? I'll give you a big discount on a little place for yah, and you can pay me back when ever...

>_ _ _

What does he mean, created? Fuck spoilers tell us who or what the eclipse is! And fields of golden wheat I guess?

So why are we renting this from you exactly? Do you rent out real estate to lots of people? And where did you get the land for this anyway? Do all new dieties have this sort of set up? Or is it just something set up because of our relationship with you?

Are you a god yourself or just a power? Sorry for all the questions but we are still just a few months into this cycle.

Ok so no spoilers about us right now. But how about you? And the rest of our family?

I mean you are a ceo and apparently own our afterlife. How did you get where you are? Oh and can we buy this place out if we make it big? On the offhand chance we take to this god stuff.

Oh and what happens if our hero wins? Or looses?

We'd like something more permanent. But for now, what's the easiest way to earn rose petals?

We're going to give you a run for your money when it comes to Gorister. Still, is there any way we can convince you to take direct control of him, team up, and use our combined armies to perform acts of mayhem and domination?

Might be able to take down the church of Magnus, at the rate Gatling is going.

Hmm. Well,
>You and I, we play a game together sometimes, you chose a hero, I chose a villain, someone wins, someone loses, a fun time is had all around~
I do hope this area is exempt from our game. Last thing I want is that madman charging into here. I actually intend to make use of this place, "TYViM" ((Basically say "T-Y-V-M as though it's a word)). I do need to look into declaring a holy-or-what-have-you champion so that the guy I stole the Mojo from still has something going for him, otherwise... Well, the route my pieces are following right now just doesn't seem optimal.
>Did you really think I needed your permission to walk on my own ground?
Nah, I would have invited you in anyways if it worked.
>But I can tell just by looking at you, you've created the eclipse already, does the moon know yet~?
She and I discovered that the moon was created together. If we somehow made it...
>What kind of floor would you like for your little piece of paradise~
I'm intending it to eventually be like a town, so for now, an inn-slash-tavern should work. A place for my wandering worshipers to meet in death.

>Are you a god yourself or just a power?
Can we not ask that one? I don't want spoilers about the enemy of the game, here!
>But how about you? And the rest of our family?
This phrasing is better. Let's not get too into detail that we end up caring about somebody we don't even remember, but I do wonder about the vague details, like the mother being a half-angel, does that make our father a half-demon?
>Oh and what happens if our hero wins? Or looses?
Now, now, let's not spoiling the epilogue! At least, we can ask if Godhood is something we can keep if we like it. I'm sure we could eventually delegate a top-tier subordinate as the new avatar when we next play the game.
>We'd like something more permanent.
What's not permanent about making our own domain?
>But for now, what's the easiest way to earn rose petals?
Tell Algeb to take virginities in our name. Or we could have a priest in our service sacrifice (To death) virgins for the soul dealio.
>Still, is there any way we can convince you to take direct control of him, team up, and use our combined armies to perform acts of mayhem and domination?
There's no fun in that, good buddy. Our game of war is a game of war, not alliances.
>Might be able to take down the church of Magnus
At the very least reform it. Religion is a damned difficult thing to outright kill, but if you weaken the structure of it, you can convince a god to change their ways in exchange for... Well, I guess roses, since he'll be wanting to keep his power as high as he can.

Tass - Sounds simple enough, I'll have slight breeze put in so the wheat waves around a bit... maybe some fauna? What lives in wheat fields... Crows? Cows? Silthstriders? ... I'll have R&D look into it...

Gat - So why are we renting this from you exactly? Do you rent out real estate to lots of people? And where did you get the land for this anyway? Do all new dieties have this sort of set up? Or is it just something set up because of our relationship with you?

Tass - Yeah, most of the outer realm is owned by some company or another. I recently picked up a nice big chunk of emptiness and put it up for rent. I'm not the most successful man in real estate but at least I'm fair with my clients, You were matched with me since we're related, the demon code favors houses and clans, so there's a law demanding I get first pick on you, if you want another landlord, you're free to move...

>>698455
Gat - I do hope this area is exempt from our game.

Tass - oh course it is. I won't cheat, there's be no fun in that, we're equally matched parties with equal opportunities. Thought I must say, my champion has already gained a seat of power, you'll need to catch up little nephew~

>>698444

Tass - of course I'll sell the land rights to you if you want em. It'll cost you a couple hundred roses though... I'd give you a better price but I'm not alone on the real estate deal and my investors would have my ass... About me? ... Well in the sixties I founded a private company called HELL, it stands for Hot Ever Lasting Lamentations... My friends and I realized that most deities would rather outsource their unwanted souls to an independent pocket dimension that specialized in punishment and torture, rather than deal with them their self's, it's a hassle, it's hard, it takes a dedicated team of psychopaths, a whole team to keep them from escaping and it's bad for moral, the other inhabitants tend to be able to hear or even see the messy work and renting out another pocket just for that is expensive, so they outsource it to me and my palls, there are others who will do the job, but we were the first and we're the biggest~ 80% of religions use HELL for all their damnation needs! Of course I don't my hands dirty anymore, I sign a few papers sometimes and try not to sleep during investor meetings, but mostly my directors and managers take care of the busyness... I kinda started the whole real estate thing to keep me busy and try something new... As for your direct family, well you're an only-child, your mom was killed for having you and your father abandoned you to some cult he had dealings with... you pap was part devil part inevitable... the cult in question thought you would bring an end to all things... well... you kinda did, but the world is still kicking... Hehehee... Spoilers~ Oh! If you've got some unwanted souls that need torturing for a long ass time, I'll take em off your hands, pro bono~ But knowing you, you'll just shove em in your gullet...

>>698447
Gat - is there any way we can convince you to take direct control of him, team up, and use our combined armies to perform acts of mayhem and domination? Might be able to take down the church of Magnus, at the rate Gatling is going.

Tass - Why would I take down Magnus, He's a cool guy, plus he's one of my top investors and patrons... Besides, Like I said, My champion is in a seat of power right now... A nice golden seat in the heart of the capital~ and all it took was a few kidnapped princesses hehee...

>>698447
Gat - what's the easiest way to earn rose petals?

Tass - Get worshipers, make them fuck, prohibit sex bellow the age of sixteen... worshipers can subconsciously offer their goods to you, but it's best if they know what they're doing to an extent... offer goodies to women who give their roses to you, or to men for taking them as Magnus is want to do...

>his device peeps and buzzes loudly "♫~Seid ihr das Essen? Nein, wir sind der Jäger!~♪" he taps it with his thumb silencing it...

Tass - I've gotta take this... here's my cards... oh wanna play some poker with me and the guys on Sunday? Maggy and Orcus will be there~ Think about it...

>He walks away into the forest and vanishes into mist...

>_ _ _

So we are part human, angel, devil, and inevitable? Man no wonder we are a confused mess.

Well that was enlightening. So his champion is Eadoo's son right? And has set up shop in the capitol. Man we need to get our side quests handled and this town under control fast.

Lets check the card pack we got. And then maybe head back to town unless we want to check out the demon law book place.

>>698631
We should find out what happened to Gatling's mother's soul, and buy it if possible.

Other than that? Lets start recruiting.

>But knowing you, you'll just shove em in your gullet...
Man, we tried that and regretted it with Shenzi. If we figure out how to spit her soul out, we can hand it to him.
>oh wanna play some poker with me and the guys on Sunday?
Also this sounds like fun. Which day is it right now?

I guess you should DO something with your land, it won't be used for a while. Find a way to give Trixy access WITHOUT brutally murdering her during sex.

Start practicing and see if you can create a small seed or carry some spirit grass.

Seeing as we are partially a god of lust, I dont think prohibiting sex will jive with our followers. That said, sex rituals would be part of our religion regardless.

Also, Magnus is a huge dick. Half the reason all these gnolls and kobolds and fringe types flock to our cause is because he's made life miserable for them. That and were so damn sexy.

What's the eclipse!?
