I there are many deities, shouldn't most of the priests and prophets be pagans? The non-pagans would be just the nut-jobs who deny the existence of multiple gods.

As a Pagan your power comes not from gods nor deities, while demons tend to be mindless beasts with enough practice one can learn to harness the untamed power they hold

The Pagan is WITTY, able to think up new and unique ways to get out of situations. though this comes at the price of STRENGTH if you're smart enough you may not need to fight at all.

Is this who you are ?

A Demon Flagellum is the tentacle of an enormous demon in the Aether, since you can't afford the whole demon you'll just summon a part of it. Though it may not be the whole thing it'll still be powerful enough to bend steel, as long as you feed it.

Do a quick inventory of your bag's contents so you're reasonably sure everything is still in it.

There should be a pagan colony somewhere in this area, hidden of course but with your training you should be able to sense one when you're close enough. Sadly you lack a map after an unfortunate bear incident left you wandering near this damned city of Itsdin.

Yeah, if we got this far with only a first level summon and no outside help, they probably have standard procedures to hunt escapees who get this far in an escape.

There's no roof hatch on this building, but there is a pipe to shimmy down. You climb down into the alley behind the building, there are one or two people around but they don't pay you any mind.

The odds of that guard releasing you on purpose are slim, seeing as you also caused a riot, could've killed two guards, regained possession of illegal Azerite, and destroyed a bunch of sensitive evidence. If that was their plan it was poorly executed, but you wouldn't put such poor planing past god-fearing idiots like them.

Inn's tend to also be bars, its just one of those weird laws nobody goes against or thinks about. Beds and beer do go well together when you think about it. There's gotta be someone inside with some info on different escape routes.

Going through a legit means of exiting the city puts you at risk of bumping heads with guards. Your disguise might fool a guard but if they have any Church-trained specialists then you will have trouble, you still emit demonic energies especially since you're carrying Azerite. Finding a smuggling business could work too though that could get you caught up in some shady dealings if you're in the wrong company.

first off: no part of you is "hot", second you'd love to go anywhere else where being hit on wasn't an immediate threat but Inns tend to have people who know things, another weird law of the world: "If you're lost, go to an Inn and ask questions until you're not anymore".

Alright so we've got a bartender and someone already passed out drunk. Our best bet is to ask the bartender. But but since that's a religious symbol our best bet is to greet him with whatever opening line the church uses like "hello there! Deus Vult!" Or "greetings! praise the umbasa!" And then gauge his reaction. If he responds favorably then let's order a beer, pay for it, and be on our way because we are clearly in the wrong place

You approach the bartender and do the best to seem like a church going scripture thumper.

You: Hello there ! Uhmm... Praise the D-Deus Obama...

He doesn't seem too excited about the church or notice your shitty excuse for a church-goer impression.

You: You seem a little down sir, that was quite a halfhearted praise, is there a problem ?

Bartender: Well... I can tell you're no member of the church from your praise so i guess it couldn't hurt to tell.

Bartender: Ever since the church passed that law banning magical beverages a while back my business has been going down the drain, beers just don't sell as well as Mana Malts and rented rooms don't bring in as much as Kaiju Brews.

Bartender: That and with the taxes going up, I fear this place will be shutting down soon...

But yeah let's use our wit to see if we can gauge whether or not he is lying. By the way, if you want to get more manly and less feminine we need to increase our strength. Be a big strong pagan warrior! HELL YEAH!

I understand. When The Law puts a stopper in your income flow, sometimes you gotta start a little 'side business' up, know what I mean? I'd be happy to help you in any such profitable ventures.

Or maybe you could just start selling stronger booze? That might be an option.

You order a Mug of Ale for 10 gold (leaving you at 35 gold)
You attempt to make a WITTY observation (6/5 Success!) while he prepares your drink.

The shelves behind him are empty, looks like where multiple bottles were before they were taken down. While he fills your mug you check behind the counter, hes only got two large casks of ale. assuming they have different types of beer hes only really got two drink items on his menu, not a lot of variety and a place with such a limited stock couldn't possibly open in such a large well built establishment, then again you haven't seen the upstairs. You get the feeling this guy's not lying to you

You: Hey so if business is so bad because of your limited stick then why not sell stronger booze ?

Bartender: The first thing I did was get a second cask of strong stuff but people dont really care about that, they came here for the, magical drinks with the special properties.

Bartender: Each sip had a little bit of fun in it. Fairy Fizz made you breath clouds of incandescent sprites, Vocal Vodka swapped your voice with someone who shared it with you, and Prismatic Pop made your eyes swirl a rainbow of color without making you sick. This place was packed with fun loving patrons every week, but now all I get is the occasional drunk.

Bartender: The magics literally been sucked from this place ever since the damned Reagent Church made that law, even made me raise that banner so people know I can't serve the stuff.

You: Wow, that's tough sir...

This guys for real, maybe getting him to deal in some more shaddy business for the good of his establishment could help him and you at the same time...

There isn't a need to break the law if there's no law against it. Instead of escaping the town because of the church, why not drive the church out? Go around town and see if there's anyone else being opressed by these religious jerkwads.

No. 801275 ID: cfe4f0

I dunno, it sounds like the obvious solution is for this guy to bribe the guards or open a bar hidden from the guards. Probably doesn't have the money to bribe the guards and pay inflated smuggling markups at the moment, so that leaves finding some smugglers and setting up a hidden bar.

"It sounds like the guards limiting your stock would be the real problem. The simple options to fix that is convince the guards to let you sell the good stuff, or go somewhere the guards don't stop you. If you do either of those in this town it'll probably mean buying a supply from smugglers, though."

Whoa, that's a great plan! Except for the part where its awful. The Reagent Church isn't just some religious sect of the cities government you can remove. It IS THE GOVERNMENT, they make the laws, run the guard, regulate tax, everything is pushed by them. Even if by some miracle you got them out of the city they'll just get Church members from other cities to come and crush the meager rebellion you've made. Besides after you achieve your plans you have to worry about them anymore.

>>801275
>>801217

You continue your conversation with the bartender as you drink.

You: So...If the Reagent Church is causing such trouble why not open a little "side business"?

Bartender: You mean like selling food items, I've thought about it but I'm not a very good chef and I could never find someone to-

You: No stupid ! sell magic beverages illegally.

Bartender: W-What ? that could get me in a lotta trouble Miss!... but its not like I haven't thought of that before. I wouldn't even need to worry about buying the drinks I brewed everything here myself before the law passed.

Bartender: The real problem would be hiding it from the authorities and even if I can make the drinks I still need the ingredients. There's a lot I need to worry about if I did it, I'm just not sure.

You: But wouldn't it be worth it ? Showing those religious assholes they can't keep you down and taking back the business you loved so much ! Those fuckers can't keep you under their thumb forever !

The bartender stares at you, enthralled by your words. You've hooked him.

Bartender: You're right ! Yeah you're right ! I don't have to take this anymore, I'm sick of this ! I'm going to open my own under ground pub!

You: I think they're called Speakeasies

Bartender: Then I'll open a speakeasy and show those Church-heads who controls what !

You grind your teeth a little.

Bartender: I've got a friend downtown who runs a weapons shop, he deals in smuggling illegal goods on the side. I can't get ingredients for drinks without his help.

Watch to make sure Mr. Chompers gets him, then we need to get control of your chain-chomp before it wrecks the shop, or finds the shopkeep.

You'd think so but voodoo users are tricky, you've heard that they can be buried 10 feet underground and appear back on above ground in less than an hour.

Voodoos nothing like Demonic Magic or Miracles. Demonic Magic involves drawing energy from the Aether and demons and using it to cast spells, the same with Miracles but a shrine and catalyst are required to cast and the magic is provided by gods.

but Voodoo doesn't draw energy from any outside source, voodoo just takes the laws of the world and bends them depending on how the user sees fit. Of course its more complicated than that but its still weird as hell.

>>801712
You know of a similar technique using demonic magic so you understand how this may work, but that would mean this guys unkillable, no there's gotta be some limit to his power. You've just gotta find what is is.

Hold up a moment before you make a major tactical mistake. You've lost track of this voodoo boss' surviving goon, which means Fate'll make sure he'll pop up again at the worst time and somehow screw everything up for you. He could run out the front door and attack you, or has fled down into the basement and is fighting Ulrik. Or he could simply spot you trying to aim at his boss and call you out. So find that mook and put a bullet through his head or heart first to take him out of the equation. And since his boss is tied up resisting getting chomped and his voodoo is on cooldown, you won't have to worry about him until his magic recovers. Now, about how long would you guess that is?

Pull out your mirror and carefully use it to peek over the window frame, survey the scene and try and locate the mook, then reposition for a better shot on him if you have to.

Did you notice if there was a back way into the shop? Or if not, if there was a back room? While if there's a entrance back there it's probably locked, it'll be good info to know for later if you have to flee out that way for some reason.

Also, what're the odds that this fight'll bring the Regent Church authorities down on Ulrik's place? This mess hasn't been subtle in the slightest and you did summon a demon right on the sidewalk. If there was a God-fearin' follower watchin' they'll be running to the nearest guard station to tattle. And even if you're victorious here and save Ulrik, he'll be massively pissed off if the Church descends and seizes and searches his shop, and probably soon after arrest him.

>>801727
>>801731
Why are you suggesting to aim at his legs? I'd think it'd be better to aim for his elbow or shoulder so he can't hold the gluttony demon back from chomping down on him.

Holy shit you completely forgot about the short one, you peek over the windowsill with your mirror, He's drawing some sort of sygil on the wall. Knowing voodoo it's not a summon sygil, its most likely a catalyst for a powerful hex or curse.

It'd be best to not let that continue. You don't have a lot time to focus on the short guy though, the boss' power should be drained for about 5 more minutes after the interruption.

Good news is they're both pretty preoccupied and and seem to be looking your way.

Alternatively:

-We might get away with looting Ulrik's shop a little, although I'm wary of stealing from someone we need help from that might wait for the last moment to punish us. Perhaps salvage his merchandise, deliver it, and ask for something to take on the way?

You order the Warboar Stew, The hot thick broth and chunky bits of beef go together perfectly. There's a bit of spiciness to it too that adds another layer of warmth. Filling and very well made.

>>801994
You don't really need to help out in the Inn, you've made a nice chunk of change for the day. Besides you're also very tired and the stew you ate is only making you groggier.

As for your magic supplies mirrors aren't the only things you can use for summoning, a lot of the time ingredients don't specifically call for a mirror usually its "Something Reflective" or "Something Rusty" maybe, It depends on what you want to summon. Still, more ingredients and materials would be nice to have. Ulrik's going to find his supplier to get Luucc's stuff tomorrow, maybe that'll a good place to shop.

Scavenging around a shop thats probably swarming with city guards after a heretical gang fight might not be a great idea either, plus you don't want to steal from a guy helping you.

As for leaving the city early, you need Ulrik to get out of here and he's sleeping upstairs. There's no way you're gonna just walk out of this place being wanted and all, plus the so called Shadowmen seem like trouble. Your best bet is to go to sleep and wait for morning.

You pay Luucc 20 gold for a room and head up the stairs.
