You are Gamma the Lich. Your phylactery was found by an elf mage and shattered, but you had a last resort kind of deal you prepared with one of your servants, a wicked druid called Sima, where upon your phylactery being broken your soul would escaped and instantly be reincarnated on someone random somewhere.A few years of unconsciousness passed in a flash, and lo and behold, you're a teenage girl in some backwards village. Seems like you're being gangraped by orcs.Oh well, so that was the traumatic event that would awaken you the druid spoke about.You consume the fraying soul of your host and regain a sliver of your magical powers.You'll make sure to use them wisely.There is still the small issue that a bunch of orcs are raping you though...You got enough magic to cast 10 levels of spells. You do know some wicked epic level spells you could cast, but honestly, seems like an overkill.You basically know every single necromantic spell ever, even some no one else knows.How will you solve this small problem?
>>6324455What if we made it weird for the Orcs by starting to enjoy the rape? That'd kill their motivation to continue and they'd be forced to leave posthaste in a sheepish fashion.
>>6324464You decide to make it weird for the orcs and start enjoying the rape.You haven't been alive in a long time after all, you hadn't felt anything quite like that in ages. You're not entirely sure if it is pleasant or not, you already forgot all about pleasure. But you decide that it is pleasurable and start acting accordingly.The orcs get a bit weirded out. One of them notices there is something strange about you.The orcs finish their business and drag you to their leader. They report that "this one is weird, she seems to enjoy it". Then the leader says "take her to the harem, then".What will you do?> Go check out this harem> Slay the orcs with some necromantic spell (specify)> Wait for the right moment and run away> Write in
>>6324480> Go check out this haremTo save energy we could do a slow burn spell. After all this is a ham perhaps we can corrupt the newborn children. Snip off a little bit of energy for ourselves as well.Once we have a supply built up then we should be able to run safely.
>>6324920You decide to go check this harem. You're already planning what to do with the accursed fetus that might start growing inside you soon. You don't think you are pregnant right now, but conception sometimes takes a few days. You know a whole bunch of very foul spells you could cast on a fetus.The orcs take you through a winding path in the forest, then into a cave, where you find their burrow. It has been such a long time you weren't inside an orcish burrow. But things haven't changed much. It's still the same disorder, the same stench of barely edible rotten meat gruel sticking to everything.Two orc females oversee a bunch of female humans, you count eight in total. Seems like the humans female are only there to sate the sexual urges of the orcs, since they don't look pregnant at all. You sense a faint smell of an abortive concoction - the type of low level alchemy any midwife is capable of with herbs collected in a rapid trip through the forest. Seems like these orcs don't even want half orcs. What is good for them, as half orcs don't adapt well to orcish society.It doesn't take long until a tired patrol of orcs show up to use the girls. Some of them notices you, the new girl, and gangrape you again.Later that night you are fed some of the orcish gruel.You go to sleep hearing the sounds of the other human girls crying.When you wake up the next day, you are positive you're pregnant - subtle signs, too subtle for the uninitiated to notice, give you this certainty.What will you do with the half orc growing inside of you?> Cast a spell for it to be born very quickly, an abomination that would make a good servant and could then be turned into a powerful undead once inevitably slain> Turn the fetus into a soul battery, making it divide again and again and killing one of the divisions once a soul is provided by the gods, won't divide indefinitely but could provide several twin souls before it dies out> Just eat the soul of the fetus as soon as it is available, you have uses even for a soulless newborn body if it comes to it> Write in
>>6325375>> Cast a spell for it to be born very quickly, an abomination that would make a good servant and could then be turned into a powerful undead once inevitably slain
>>6325375>Write inI wonder if we can make a deal with the other members. Save them for a price or at least to get some followers and hands to help later. The once the baby is primed we go to free them.>Cast a spell for it to be born very quickly, an abomination that would make a good servant and could then be turned into a powerful undead once inevitably slainIt would be a shame to hurt our body, but an need is a need. I do hope we can get better subsidence later. A strong body makes for a better and longer lasting one later.
>>6325379>>6325436You wait until the orcs aren't paying attention and you talk to the girls."I can take us out of here, but you have to do everything exactly as I say from now on.""You.. you can? Anything... anything for this to end...""Stop crying. Here, help me out."You sit on the floor, open your legs and start pushing."What are you doing?""Having a baby.""But you aren't even... oh, by the gods, what is this?"Your belly distends very rapidly, and with a scream, you push out a many tentacled aberration. It hide in a dark corner.The female orcs come."What is going on here?", they say, and start beating all the girls, including you.Then the tentacle thing jumps on top of one of the orcs. It snaps is neck with the tentacles!The other orc runs away!"Come... it is our chance!"The girls get up and run after you.The tentacle thingy goes ahead of you.Soon you find a patrol of orcs.The tentacle thing starts attacking the orcs, but the orcs fight back and hurt it badly. It screeches!> Take advantage of the fact the orcs are distracted and slip past them with as many of the girls as you can> Attack the orcs with your magic to save your baby> Raise the female orc from the dead and have her bite one of the orcs, start a good old fashioned zombie plague> Write in
>>6325486> Attack the orcs with your magic to save your babyBe a mama our kid can be proud of.That said a zombie outbreak would be good cover. Assuming it can get to a good enough size.
>>6325499Decided to not leave your baby behind to be destroyed by the orcs, you start dishing out your favorite necromantic combat spell, Shadow's Edge, a spell you invented yourself, that summons a necrotic blade that attacks your enemies for up to one minute, as long as you keep concentrating on it.You start slashing the orcs mercilessly, until you finish off the patrol.Unfortunately, an orc that you didn't see jumps out from the shadows and sinks his blade on your shoulder. Your blade dispells, as you lose concentration.You then pull the orc's blade, further harming yourself, and as your blood spray, you grab the orc's arm and cast a Vampiric Touch.The orc is reduced to a shrivelled version of himself, and as his sword falls, your wound closes off.You then drink the souls of all the orcs. Ah! A surge of magical energy! "Follow me.", you tell everyone."What are you?", one of the girls ask.You eye her menacingly. For a moment you wish to kill her for her insolence.Instead, you smile and kiss her."You don't need to know. You will call me mistress from now on.""Y-yes...yes... yes, mistress!"You didn't actually cast any spell on her, it is just your natural charisma."Let's go."You escape the cave and are now in the forest. You look around. You don't recognize the region. Must be the western continent. Your home was in the eastern continent.Guess you won't have the benefit of your network of minions around here. The only place you had a minion in here was the Port City of Azara."Any of you knows where the port city of Azara is?""I know, mistress! It is about two weeks away from here to the north. I..."You place your finger on her lips, then turn to the others and say."Move. It isn't safe in here."Your many tentacled beast follows you but it is too slow. You grab it from the ground and carry it. It is kinda heavy for your frame, but you bear it well. At some point it falls asleep in your arms.You then reach a river. There is no bridge nearby, nor boat. It goes east to west.> Use magic to cross the river > Travel west towards the nascent> Travel east towards the sea> Jump in and swim> Write in
>>6325506Since it is a port City we're heading to the sea route maybe help us hitch a ride, but I believe it'll become windy and doubt we have warm clothing. > Travel west towards the nascentOnwards to the West and some energy from trying to swim in this unknown River.
>>6325516You travel west towards the nascent.By nightfall, you covered a good distance, but you're pretty sure the orcs will be following soon enough. You need a defensible position.You find a cave and decide that it will be your lair for the night. Within, there was already a cougar, but your baby jumps at it and grapples it to death.You tell the girls to go in pairs and bring firewood, and do it quickly. Then, within the cave, under a small hole, you tell them to light a fire.Now you need to give these girls some teeth, or they won't survive when the orcs come.You then have them swear a pact to you and grant them magical powers! Choose a spell of level 1 to grant them (there are 8 of them, you can choose different spells for each): > exhume > animate vermin > corpse bomb > exacerbate> Write in None of them is very strong, but creative uses could make all the difference. You will need to consume lots of souls to sustain this. Having lots of apprentices is not really standard practice, but you are expecting most of them to die.
>>6325577Quite the task before us, but indeed lets be creative. Assuming energy and time usage problems. >exhume for to 21 to digging up places for the vermin to ready them self. The other to make uneven terrain for cover from the corpse bombs and make getting to us harder. If the speed allows during battle we can make quick pits to brake legs or simply force a miss step.> animate vermin for 1It will not be the most damage, but it will aid in making things harder for them.> corpse bomb for 1A classic and good for giving out many wounds.> exacerbate for 1To add into the chaos and make things just a bit easier for us.>Decompose for 1While not the best for one's noise it will speed up the rot to give us something to sicken them like a poison or clean up bones for use. I mainly hope we have the time to use this with the vermin to get those wounds to take them down as the cuts and bit allow the poison in.>Restore Corpse for 1Waste not, want not as they say. With limited resources we can make us of one body to keep building up the rot goo and patch up broken corpses for animation or explosion.>Bone Splinters/Spear/Shape for the last.This is now me checking if this is possible at level 1. While I think the main will have no problem if we have the energy. I want to give the ladies something with bite. Be it growing/repairing the fragmented bone to make wounds worse. Making crude gear to attack, defend, or make traps. Otherwise hoping to make the bones useful as a range option.
Rolled 18, 7, 7, 2, 18, 18, 14, 7, 8 = 99 (9d20)>>6325691You imbue your apprentices with the following spells:Exhume (2)Animate Vermin (1)Corpse Bomb (1)Exacerbate (1)Decompose (1)Restore corpse (1)Bone Spear (1)Now you just need some fresh corpses for them to practice. You trust the orcs will soon provide them...But now you must manage your magical energies very carefully. You spend a lot of soul power maintaining the casting abilities of that many apprentices.You got about let's say 200 SOUL POWER.Each point lets you cast one level of spells.To maintain your underlings casting ability, you spend 2 SOUL POWER a day on each of them.A human (or orc) sacrifice nets you 10 SOUL POWER. Animal sacrifices Might net you 1-2 SOUL POWER, but it is not reliable. Elves, mages or magical creatures tend to net at least 30 SOUL POWER when sacrificed, often more.You don't know that yet but it will take 3 days to reach the nearest village. I'm gonna roll random encounter for the orcs, 3 times a day, for 3 days. On a 1 the orcs find you. On a 20 something else nasty finds you.Rolling!You can choose one action for the girls to do in the meantime:> Gather food - so they don't starve> Catch rodents - to use on spells> Forced march - you arrive in two days instead of 3, but everyone is exhausted> Write in
Looks like the orcs aren't that good trackers.
>>6325702That was close for the other nasty ones. > Gather food - so they don't starveEvery choice has a negative and a positive. But I think feeding them something other than the gruel before will boost morale a lot and allow them to have clearer thoughts. Even better if we can get some bait for rodents. It will make the Gathering them easier.
>>6325736The girls gather a bunch of blueberries, fruits, mushrooms, even some fat grubs and rabbits, then every night before sleeping we build a small fire to roast whatever is roastable, and partake of a hearty meal.You hear some weird things in the night, but you laught it off. You are the thing even other monsters fear when the sun goes down.On the third day, you see a village in the distance, a small settlement, maybe a thousand people. They have some farms, you can see the smoke of a forge, so they probably mine in the nearby caves, but little else. They have some spearmen patrolling the perimeter.You have about 150 SOUL POWER left.> Approach the village, say you've escaped a bunch of orcs> Destroy the spearmen and claim the village as your domain> Hide in the caves and kidnap a couple miners to learn more about the village> Hide in the caves, but send a couple girls saying they escaped orcs to gather information> Stay in the forest and avoid the village for now, kidnap a hunter or gatherer for information> Write in
>>6325738New place and unknown culture to us, with to few to really make a good attempt to claim much of anything.> Hide in the caves, but send a couple girls saying they escaped orcs to gather informationThe forest allows for freedom, but risk to the orcs and unknowns. I say move to the caves and with luck the orcs hit the town and we just have to deal with a random animal in the cave.
>>6325752Pondering that you have no way to know how this strange culture will react to you, you decide to hide in the caves. But you send a couple girls, instructing them to say they escaped form the orcs, to gather intelligence.Within, you find a Bear. Your baby is hungry and wants to eat it.> Kill and eat the bear> Shoo the bear away> Kill the bear and raise him as undead> Write inAfter a couple days, one of them shows up at the caves."The villagers have had problems with the orcs before and welcomed us well. The people here are very trusting. They are part of a kingdom called Merryland. They expected us to find roles within the village very quickly. We've been helping with cooking and today I volunteered to bring food to the miners, then I slipped by here to tell you about it.""How many soldiers they have?""Less than 20 spearmen."You have about 120 SOUL POWER.What will you do?> This puny village is no match for your power, conquer it> Keep the charade up a little longer, learn more about the kingdom> Kidnap and sacrifice a few people> Write in
>>6325757> Kill and eat the bearThe baby is likely our main way to fight and save energy.> Kidnap and sacrifice a few peopleInformation is a power in it's own right, but time will allow for only so much gathering. It's a risk for sure, but with luck maybe the orcs can be blamed. The other thought I have is for us to plague the food and water of the town. Starting with small things that could be seen as that has been around for some time. With luck we weaken the fighters to allow us time to gather needs before we move.
