Humankind has finally begun its eminence over the world.The nations are thriving, populations are booming, and the peoples of the surface have finally been granted the freedom and comfort to pursue finer pursuits like music, art, and crafting of frivolous things like toys and trinkets. At day, the Lights Above protect the world as they always have, and, even at night, their illumination is now harnessed to protect the settlements of man from the abyssal hordes. This peace, however, has been thrown into doubt.Something is brewing beneath earth, out of the sight of the Lights Above. Cultists worshipping the Core and its false gods have been exploding in population, more and more Magecorps being corrupted to their cause. Monster activity has heightened, and the rate of their mutation has increased. Nobody quite knows how to explain all of these coinciding phenomena, but almost everyone can agree on this— whatever's happening, it cannot be good.You, for better or for worse, are on the frontlines of this developing battlefield. Your party, the Dawnseekers is a relatively new Corps from a relatively new guild. Serving under the Dawnstone, your merry band of Spelldivers, for their own personal reasons, have opted to risk their lives to combat the Core's darkness. You, regardless of motive, are humanity's first line of defense.Link to relevant information including mechanics, equipment, and spell sigils: https://rentry.org/spelldivers
Boltrunners, also referred to as Stormrunners or (among some more eclectic researchers) Capacowaries, are a species of avian-type beasts bearing a remarkable resemblance to their ratite forebears in both size and structure, with their primary differences manifesting in color and behavior. Boltrunners are pack hunters, specialized serrations on their beaks designed to more easily pick and tear flesh from bone. Their claws are blunted, worn fromThe high velocities they can achieve thanks to their magic, but this loss in lethality is more than made up for by the magic coating their attacks. Normally, Stormrunners never stampede on their own volition. They're highly territorial, generally more oriented towards their own space from other packs of their kind or other species of apex predator on their floor. However, when a MUTANT emerges from their flock and takes command of their pack hierarchy, they become galvanized, actively rampaging through higher floors and eventually the surface in an effort to satisfy their feeding frenzy. This is enabled by the special characteristic of the mutant Stormrunner, generally known as a Cumuloform— they leave in their wake a dark, nigh impenetrable cloud of mana-infused fog, preventing all light from entering or escaping. Only a Magelight can pierce the mist and stop them.>BOLTRUNNER[HP: 15, MOV: 5, DC: 6.

>>6414558The monsters will attack you, but will prioritize breaking through the barricades and rampaging through the city instead. Each segment of the wall can take 3 attacks, irrespective of damage, before being destroyed. You may pass through barricades as if they were normal tiles. The pink tiles, meanwhile, represent the last lines of defense between this outpost and the village beyond. As in the caravan mission, if a boltrunner ends its turn twice atop any pink tile, it reduces the reward gained. If FIVE successfully manage to do this, the mission automatically fails.WAVE ONE:>14 standard Boltrunners>1 Cumuloform BoltrunnerAs you arrive at the village's first and only true line of defense, you can barely see through the thick, ever-present blanket of clouds tightly hugging the rolling fields of wheat.

Thankfully for everyone involved, you have successfully preempted the stampede, if only by a hair's breadth. The initiative is yours, Dawnseekers, but the birds are approaching quickly.

The further these birds have to walk to us, the more quickstep they'll expend, which means less damage coming in. If they deploy and walk and cast or cast and walk (5 MOV + 6-8 Quickstep), they'll immediately appear on our magelight sightlines. We should set up magelights, hole up near our defenses, see where the darkness appears along our magelight lanes to suss out the Cumuloforms, and blast the everliving shit out of everyone who appears.The non-Elegy users and tanks should just go in front and soak up the ricochets if they start firing.

Roa is dead silent as the team begins the mission. There is a whole village at stake, success is of the utmost importance. As the Western flank seems thoroughly defended, she opts to take the East. The range of her weapon means that she can likely defend the entire row of barricades at once, so she remains steadfastly in the backline.Once the action begins, she’ll take up a more central position. For now, she takes steps towards the gloom solely to plant her magelights, then lances through the dark with a quiet utterance of: “Brightlance.”As she illuminates the area with her spell, faint crackling and ticking becomes audible from her staff.

The Great Lady holds her palm up towards that terrible and sacred air, almost cupping her hand as a supplicant in some long forgotten and long unmourned rite, then blows out once more to cast that otherworldly flame into the blackness beyond. In utter silence, the turquoise hue threads the path like a silver cord..."Paled by the power of my breath, everything within one hundred paces stumbles and falls," Jorogumo murmurs before retreating behind the village walls. "It's fixing to storm... Come along, friends, to where safety is."

The moment they reveal themselves, the Boltrunners begin to drop. Spells fly from all over the battlefield, first the WYRMBREATHS, flung from the foci of several mages before their allies can stand in the way of their attacks. Two of these— UR-GLARBAOTH’s and JOROGUMO’s, strike true into the guts of the avian beasts, felling them in a single stroke of magic. FLOCHE’s gun bears similar lethality, two quick shots ringing from his pistol, leaving the monster with a hole punched clean through. The gun’s backlash threatens to sear his hand, yet miraculously, no recoil is felt at all. Across the battlefield, ALARYCK bears the damage, quickly bathing himself in purifying flames to offset the injury and recover his barrier. As the ranged rearguard fires magic from the barricade, the noble frontliners race forward into the fray. WARPIG, seeing the enemy nearest to him collapse in the face of ROANOR’s lightning seeker, bravely marches onwards, finding himself surrounded by lilac eyes crackling with electricity the moment he stops his march. THORNE, meanwhile, launches himself forward on his astral steed, illuminating a great deal of the field in his wake as he meets Warpig on the vanguard.

CYNTHIA’s trusty golem soars into the night on silvered wings, mist dissipating in its wake as it flutters with shocking celerity, uncovering not one, but two enemies hidden in the storm. COOKIE follows behind, bearing her Dermislicer and bringing it down on the unsuspecting Boltrunner with a terrible crack, bashing the unwitting beast’s skull into dust. ROA, loathe to leave a job unfinished, recasts her Brightlance into the half-dead monster clawing at her armor, punching through it with a burst of radioactive mana. The beasts roar, their electrified bodies surging towards you driven by wrath and instinct. Your hair raises on its end, not in fear, but from the sheer static in the air as the flock makes its move.

Some, as those thrown at COOKIE, WARPIG, or THORNE, fall dull against the Spelldivers' mighty hieroshields. Others pass right through the defenses, claws and bolts threatening to fell a few Dawnseekers where they stand. Yet, as if by a miracle, each and every wound near the barricade miraculously disappears. The source of this salvation, noble ALARYCK, doubles over, blood exploding from wounds he never took, skin singeing with agonizing, selfless flame. He reeks of cooking meat and bleeding iron, bandages stained black and red, and yet, even as he bears each and every attack and starers, he remains defiantly on his feet through sheer force of will, lone exposed eye burning with resolve.>ALARYCK health: 1 > 4/7 [2 positive fire stacks remain]

Rolled 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 2 + 4 = 13 (6d2 + 4)Roa sees that the killing is being handled by bolts of energy on the West end of the barricade. Her own spell seems dimmer than she remembered. Something must have been miscalculated, for it’s even weaker than the lightning bearing form. She’ll need help to slay each. “Conquest! Soften it up!” With everything else in the area handled, and Cookie’s capability to kill the enemies with singular blows, she opts for that target instead.

Life so consumed by the Gloom became part of its Doom. Its Fate. Death was a mercy to these creatures, and to all in its wake.

The palebreath had passed over them like a whisper along the work of the western wind, the blood in their veins turned to venom then venom turned into flame, charring their flesh from within and leaving their husks kneeling like long-traveled pilgrims now in reverence. Jorogumo hums in the chthonic register as if quite pleased, even exalted by the sight of death and holocausts before her, seeming in her standing so much like an terrible pagan icon to whom altars are raised in ages long vanished..."My friends, my friendly friends!

>>6418500I thought about tactics and I agree. Regardless if they absolutely demolish us or merely buff up this upcoming enemy turn, fleeing towards the barricade on our next turn will1. Expend their Quickstep. 2. Force the faster Quickstepped buffed attack units to separate from their slower Stratiform buffers and leave the attackers exposed on the next round. 3. Possibly outrun the range of DER LICTCHEN ZAPE CHAIN (4 hexes lol). Not sure how long the ACC and DC buffs on the enemy, but I also hope their wasting a turn to catch up and/or attack the barricades will cause their buffs to expire in time for our counterstrike.

>>6419217>>6419220You, Roanor, Hestri, and Conquest can all heal someone, so Eigen and Cynthia will be revived sooner or later. Do as you will.
>>6419208>>6419202Nix that. I definitely got the hit (10 result vs DC 10 -> 25 DMG -> 30 HP remaining on the boss) while Thorne has a few rolls that roll under DC 10 (10, 7, 8, 8, 9, 9, in order). Rend Asunder bros will need to assist on the Titaniform to apply Thorne's damage.(This is assuming the Titaniform DC 8 is getting +2 boost from the Stratiform buff based on its attack bonus of +4. I think the +2 is from a Stratiform buff and the other +1s are from the bonuses from his two fat ass tiles in the darkness, which means he only got 1 buff from his Stratiform and thus DC 8+2.)

A wizard has a solution for every circumstance! And this, here, he has his solution for!"Well said, good sir! Allow me to bolster your efforts!"

Joro unclasps her arms as her chuckles dies away. There is a face now which shines in the gloom like a porcelain mask, pale and smiling and serene, as if perpetually amused by some secret conceit or perhaps pleased by the very world alone."Ah Alaryck..." Jorogumo breathes softly. "You are a man as splendid and delicious as the blood you spill for us. To fight for your life and the survival of others with all your might... It is like the parable of the frog who had whipped the cream in the jar with his feet, turning it into butter. How can we falter in the presence of such tenacity, such selflessness? A torch shines on in the darkness and the darkness has not overcome it!"Joro draws herself upright, filled with hope, desire, and utter confidence. She breathes out that strange palebreath once more and the sorcery threads through the air, swiftly and with a dancer's grace, to weave that dreadful undoing into the warp and weft of the world itself. "Take heart, my friends, and do not relent! The thread of the beast is nearly severed!

>>6419365I feel like we need to clarify this again.You seem to operate at an assumption that all actions happen simultaneously and Parsley can step into the way of your attack after you make it and get hit. I, and likely many people, are used to actions in skirmishes being resolved in the order of declaration, in which case Parsley is safe as he is moving into the affected hex long after your attack ends.>>6419359Hierophant, could you please clarify whether Parsley is going to be fried in this case?
>>6419367The timing is a bit too abstract for me to grasp. Hierophant ruled that Rend Asunder can be applied retroactively to attacks already made (turning what would be failures into successes), so there's something weird happening with the turn resolution from my view. My thought process is that things happen simultaneously in brackets, regardless of the actual post time:>Everyone who declares going first in the post>Everyone else doing everything elseI didn't put in "I cast first" since I wanted to be put in the same time bracket as Conquest's Rend Asunder and I already had a bad feeling about being able to hit DC10 by my own dice. Now I reread the thread to find Parsley ending his turn in the path of my Wyrmbreath attack, so I go and warn him immediately. (I did definitely overdid it with the all caps in the narration itself.) Ultimately, it's me being autistic about this. I must have missed Hierophant's explanation of action resolution somewhere along the line and I just made up that thing about brackets. My apologies.
>>6419373I want to be absolutely sure I'm going to hit the big guy but I'm also going to brain Parsley (and maybe Wintry as well) by accident. I don't want the latter.

What use is power if she cannot do the same? Roa steps forward, one heavy boot falling at a time. She gasps in relief as Ur-Glarbaoth rises, his shield not as broken as she thought. With her spells faltering in this manner, there is naught she can do but cast them forward in an attempt to rescue her comrades.

Profound dread envelops Cynthia, who suddenly feels again the helplessness she experienced earlier through the eyes of a tiny beetle, but now in an undeniably serious and lifelike spectacle. Like a scene from a nightmare, hellish lighting spews from its pointed maw, piercing through her comrades one-by-one, who had seemed perfectly safe only a few moments before, and inexorably races toward a petrified Cynthia. In a blinding flash of crimson light and a moment of agony deep in her bones, Cynthia collapses.But, it is not long before she is bathed in a soothing emerald light and a verdant swirl of boggy blossoms, graciously pulling her out of unconsciousness. She gets up slowly, clutching her head and looking around. “Ughh… what just…” she suddenly spies a lone boltrunner straight ahead of her, revealed by the lumbering mass of Parsley shuffling away.

The Dawnseekers bring might and magic, yet the sheer, overwhelming numbers of the horde obstruct their better efforts. Hordes of tough, feathered bodies line the path, obstructing WINTRY, FLOCHE, OPHELIA, and EIGENGRAU from landing lethal blows upon the mighty Titaniform. THORNE, meanwhile, begins tearing his way through, blade ripping through one but suddenly stopping on the next as if by some invisible barrier. The Cumuloform shrieks, feathers bristling with power as a potent electromagnetism keeps his blade at bay.
>>6420729JOROGUMO, meanwhile, finds no such obstructions, her Palebreath Spear skewering through victim after victim, its venom percolating through their thick, feathered hides before bursting into a conflagration of silvery-blue fire. Her attack reaches the towering Titaniform, but it alone is not enough to bring it to its knees.

Total disaster is averted thanks to ALARYCK's noble resistance, though that enough is not sufficient to halt its wrath entirely. Thankfully, the other Boltrunners are far less effective, merely scratching the bulky recipients of their claws and currents, especially thanks to the frigid barriers placed by noble ALICIEL.Their capacitance expended, numbers curbed and leader near death, the winds blow at the backs of the Dawnseekers as momentum shifts in their favor.

It’s still half alive. “Another!” She calls for aid.

It's almost enough to make him think that maybe there is something to this 'teamplay' idea after all. At least, until the titaniform sidesteps him as easily as he did its smaller cousin, prompting indignant outrage. How dare it ignore his spectacular self?! Has he not proven his mettle by standing here with robes unsoiled?

The Dawnseekers return the assault of the Boltrunners on themselves, their comrades, and the innocent people of this village with righteous rage, gripping their foci with an intent that would be called murderous were these wretched monsters human. LANSA, JOROGUMO, CYNTHIA, and OPHELIA, a full fifth of the Spelldivers deployed to this mission turn their magic upon the Titaniform, a surge of flame and fury bursting forth, baptizing the giant avian beast in a conflagration of stars, silver, and soot. The beast shrieks, blackened feathers crumbling to ash in the air as it frantically thrashes about, crimson electricity surging over its body as it attempts to muster a counterattack, a truly terrifying capacitance building up within its core, threatening to leap forth at any time, and–It stops.The titaniform, having been sorely stripped of its illusions of invincibility, collapses pathetically to the ground, body blackened and bare, most of its skin and all its feathers burnt away. Looking at it, one almost feels a sense of pity— if not for its prodigious size, it really could have been an ordinary bird.>LANSA experiences recoil. 2 damage takenWhile most of the corps keeps their eyes on the giant, UR-GLARBAOTH and UNDYING ROA keep their focus on the task at hand. A straggler, perhaps out of desperation or perhaps out of cunning, slipped past the forward line, yet, before it can claw away at the wooden barricades keeping them at bay, it meets a gruesome end at the hands of their spells.The remaining boltrunners galvanize, preparing one last desperate assault. Dawnseekers, can you destroy them before the attack comes?[NOTE: some larger monsters will be able to be looted multiple times. The Titaniform may be looted THRICE.]

Hoping this works with image and dice.//The Boltrunners finally recover from tbe daze of losing their leader, powerful legs crackling with static as they channel their latent mana into devastating magic. They have suffered great losses, yes, but the flock is still the flock, and it shall not see any of its members die without retribution. You are no longer mere obstacles to these monsters— you are predators, dangerous and hateful, and their only means of survival is to see you mages drop dead.The Dawnseekers, meanwhile, are far more focused on resources than retribution. Most of the mages race across the charred plain, snatching up whatever usable materials exist in the burning bodies before they're claimed by the spells that felled them— or worse, the flesh-rending beaks of their fellow Boltrunners. Others, meanwhile, keep their focus on the battle at hand. ROA, COOKIE, and EIGENGRAU prepare for the next volley, one focusing on her offense, one her defense, and the latter the bullets needed to cast his own spells. Others, meanwhile, deal death upon the stragglers: THORNE, WINTRY, and WARPIG wreak havoc on the frontlines, tearing the unfortunate avians in their path asunder. In the back, the cumuloform fares no better, riddled in flame, venom, gunshot, its body singed and mangled and barely recognizable as a corpse, let alone its former self. Yet, even in this victory, the desperation of the enemy becomes a danger— who knows what a cornered animal is capable of?

Overclock actions may be used to move as if a MOV action were expended, but may not perform any other MOV action function.>Plumeshield: Low runespace effect. Manifests a thick coat of feathers on the caster, granting 2 DC against a number of attacks made against you this round equal to half this spell's PWR.>Biosymbiote [ELEMENT: FUNGAL]: Medium runespace sigil that creates a fungal network that integrates with your body, granting the caster 4 bonus health regardless of spell PWR. If you ever take an amount of damage equal half this spell's PWR, or have your HP reduced to zero, the bonus health is removed (but, if you have less than max HP, no shield will be lost)>Bolturbine [ELEMENT: LIGHTNING] Medium runespace offensive effect. In addition to this spell's other damaging effects, deals damage to targeted enemies equal to the caster's unspent quickstep stacks or the number of tiles they moved this turn, whichever is lower.>Nettlefetter: Medium runespace sigil that creates magical tendrils barbed with spines, wrapping around enemies you hit and dealing damage equal to this spell's PWR should they move on their next turn.

The spider-witch is less fortunate, her snaking Palebreath falling dead upon the protected hide of the Cumuloform. Wintry, meanwhile, suffers no such misfortune, her own frigid flames seeking their target and finding it true.>17 damage, 2 fire stacks dealt to Stratiform (43-2 health)>14 damage, 14 poison stacks, 2 fire stacks, 1 ice stack inflicted on Cumuloform (11-4 health)Both birds GALVANIZE, lightning crackling across their feather, stitching their broken skin back together and adding power back to their strides.>Stratiform: 51 HP, 1 fire stack>Cumuloform: 13 HP, 1 fire stack, 13 poison stacks.If the cumuloform is killed but the stratiform is not, the latter, lacking offensive capabilities, may attempt to flee.

"Ah!" she shouts in surprise, half thinking that this is all just a dream, and half considering stepping back to unleash a spell upon it. Thankfully, the well-oiled kitchen staff are quick to render it into a well-seasoned steaming pile of meat-on-bone.

Of course, most places do not know you quite that well— after all, this tavern is your home base, the place where not only your own drunken tales pour loose with ale and merriment, but where others directly aided by your guild happily sing your praises. Still, it makes it all feel worth it, even if some of you are schlepping in with bruises and scars for your troubles. Before, however, you begin to down your free liquor, a middle aged clad in black-hemmed yellow sanbenito and a dark, austere cap greets you all at your table, clearly aware of your habits and waiting for you to arrive. He lifts his hands, a manufactured smile on his lips as if to tell you he comes in peace. Still, it’s hard not to be anxious— after all, this is a member of Benvatio’s intelligence organization. “I have come not to investigate you,” he announces, reaching for something in his coat, “but rather, to give our thanks. Very few seem to want to do the dirty work anymore— even with our pay, they would rather chase glory or secrets. Some beasts amok in a small village? Those who have the might lack the perspective, and those who want to help lack the power. You, my friends, are a perfect mix.”He places the envelope on the table, leaving it for you to discuss. “A reward, my friends.

But until then, she's going to enjoy the high she's on.>Classified Research "Restrictions. Bans. They serve no purpose other than to limit a soldier's repertoire."

"Oooh, I do wonder if the government and the hierophants are of one mind with regards to what they keep to themselves. What double-edged marvels will we be made privy to? Hoohoo, it's almost enough to have me running about like one of those blasted birds...">>6425161A barely begrudging toast is raised Alaryck's way before he departs. "Your work out there was invaluable, my good man. Stars know I'd never think of trying the same spell arrangement, the idea of purposely getting hit is frankly abominable to my good senses.">>6425149One of Jorogumo's words earns a scowl, even though she hasn't made any jabs at his weight yet! "Bah, 'sages'. Anyone who called themselves such back then were barely more than quacks, relying on fabricated mystery to lend unearned gravity to their words!"
>>6424915A tired Lansa slumps to the ground, holding on to his staff for support. He still smiles and returns Hestri's odd palmslap-fistbump-wigglyfinger thing."Ahh he he he, alas! None of these birds are fit to eat, no matter how roasted they are. You have also done well, friend Hestri!">>6425146Later, at the Silverharp, fully refreshed and having rid of the lightning-caused pinprick ache in his joints, Lansa considers the government man's offers.He is well-informed of liquor's many dangers, but his friends in the Dawnseekers might tell him otherwise; and money is not really what he's after. No, he would rather have knowledge, and the third option is also highly desirable by many of his teammates.>Classified Research
>>6425161>>6425200Roa is in high spirits as well. They’ve protected the folk in the village, and thanks to them, countless families can sleep peacefully for another night. There’s no greater happiness for her. And no greater reminder that redemption is already beyond sight, even with so many folks owning their lives to the Dawnseekers. Yet she doesn’t tarry in giving Alaryck his due, joining in on raising a glass after Parsley does. “A splendid showing. The idea of such a thing is beyond me as well. I’m afraid I could not master it to the same degree. But it’s no exaggeration to say that you took almost EVERYTHING those birds had, and stood tall to reject it.”
>>6425146>Expedited liquor license [Silverharp’s Philtreliquor License will be approved immediately, at a discounted total fee of 400 Coreshards]Thorne enters after stabling Hades with a nice bag of oats, a bath, and a brushdown. He smells like herbal soap and fresh linens. He gives a light grumble about how nothing smells as bad to him as dead poultry beasts and their innards."Cursed weapons make for a good 'story', but don't underestimate how much trouble they are outside of a good scrape." Thorne nods to himself. "Imagine if you had a talking cat in your ear constantly begging for treats, but those treats were violence and suffering. It would be enough to drive men mad."He pours himself a drink into his snake adorned drinking horn. "What was it that finally broke that heretic band of Spelldivers we struck down. Who can say for sure but the higher ups in the Hierophants, who haven't deigned to tell us in detail..." "Besides that, weren't these sigil makers already trying to sell us those 'Sin' sigils without this classified access?"
>>6425161"There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes." Jorogumo sings softly."Please rest and be well, Sir Alric. You must be well," she says, as much a benediction as an imposition, no mere supposition, as a matter of course. "We shall postpone our more exuberant revelries until your recovery.""And Alaryck, if the burden of martyrdom is too heavy, then allow me to relieve you in the duty of spilling sacred blood. you kids should have some fun with your new spellcrafting toys, y'know?"And as he leaves, Joro continues talking, "Alas... Alaryck... Alack... But we are already all here together in this tavern of the world. Now is the time for jovial merriment. For a toast in fact. But in whose honor?">IF ALICIEL IS HERE >TOAST AND SAY ALOUD"Come, Alice, child of the wastes. Let us drink to your good name.""O innocent one!This great one praises your efforts!Seeker of the rising coldmaster of the shroud of protection!May your thread of your fate wind long, andmay your way be covered in gold and Glory.""we couldn't have done it without you and Alack, you know."

>>6425146For the first time in... well, ever since she's joined the company, Hestri's face scrunches up in unbridled disgust when the mysterious benefactor reveals his identity."Tch... FED." She snarls before sending a few pig snort impressions his way when he leaves.>Classified ResearchAll animosity departs from her features, however, when she realizes what fate has flung at her--so much so that the girl's posture nearly STRAIGHTENS from the sudden excitement!"D-D-D-Do mine senses swindle me!? RESTRICTED RESEARCH!? Sensational! Stupendous! I cannot start to surmise what scrumptious secrets lie within! What a sumptuous day for us! This calls for a celebration, keheheh~"In an eerily fluid set of motions,the bog witch removes a vial from the deep recesses of her robes, flicks the cork at another table, then chugs the concoction's contents like a newly-minted Fraternity pledge!"Keheheh... our fortune flares... this shall be an auspicious evening indeed...">>6425200"The government's folly is our favor..." Muses the mirewitch as she seems to emerge from the shadows just outside of Parsley's perception. "They sought to stifle our scholarings... but knowledge cannot be stopped... and neither can we..."Whipping out another glowing potion from her cloak, the bog witch offers it to Parsley. "For your warmth. And to our newfound scholarly wealth, BOY.">>6425161"Wonderful woundings you weathered today, Scarred One. Your penchant for prevailing through pain is prodigious indeed..." She offers him a folded bandage the color of pondscum that smells of stale berries. "A gift to honor your gumption. Please partake--it's certain to soothe!"Her errands more or less run, the bogwitch opts not to peddle potions in the pub, but instead join her fellows in feasting and frolicking at their table. "'tis nice, this. Our foes fall and we fraternize. And one day we'll all be ragged and rotten beneath the roots... but tonight? We frolic. What a gift this thing, life..."
>>6425200Joro looks down at Parsley as a spider would consider a fly, a verminous blattodean, then laughs at his face for a fool, high-pitched and haughty as ever."Ohhhhohohoho! My my~ You sound so much like one of the 'sages' you so easily disparage. Right down to that hideous unfounded pride and dismissal of the ancient wisdom even as they built upon those very foundations." Joro suddenly looms over, hissing. "How disgusting. How abhorrent. You call yourself a wizard? A wise-ard, a wise man? You are an imbecile and you are a child, hardly fit to be even called a man despite the vast expanse of your flesh, and you made a poor show as you staggered about with that poor frostbitten girl in tow.""You lack even an iota of those sages' appropriated knowledge. Even the false sages emulated the past great mages, whose magic was the extension of their wisdom. Do you remember the man who left our company, that Slabfish? He follows the noble tradition of imitation of those old beards, the mystic theurges and the true wise men. The ones who laid the foundations of the City's walls which sheltered the entirety of humanity against the terrors of the nite. What manner of legacy do you intend toward with your childless fate and your spectacular idiocy? Already your name is fading from the roaring volumes of speech."Joro's hand clenches and there comes the splintering of nutshells from within her palm."Here's a tip like that of a hat which you do not have: the euphoria of your own 'enlightened' intelligence has castrated your perception of the world we dwell in and made you as impotent as a eunuch. Your contributions to our last mission were utterly parsley, Paltry. The pursuit of knowledge is a bloody affair and you've not a single kill to your name. Please imitate what is right and proper and make a GOOD spell next time."
>>6425475>What a gift this thing, life..."hey, that's my line," Joro calls out from across the room.

>>6425146>Classified ResearchThe instant that Cynthia realizes that state secrets are on the table, her eyes narrow with intrigue to form a fox-like expression. She silently studies the reactions of her comrades before speaking herself, glancing around to make sure that the scrutiny of the law is no longer looming over them. Trying her best to sound refined and profound, Cynthia says, "If there's one thing I've grasped throughout my noble education, it is that information is often the most valuable resource you can collect, especially in the form of secrets. If I may, a particular instance comes to mind, where...." ah, but it seems that she was either too late to comment, or everyone rightfully tuned out everything she said after "noble education", because a clear consensus was reached before she even finished talking. She blinks a few times, sighs, and thinks for a moment."Oh, to the abyss with it all!" She resolutely stands up and returns in a minute with a single glass of wine, and she boldly takes a chair as close to the center of the group as she can find (it doesn't even matter if it's right beside Parsley). She follows along the current of conversation, less so like a bored child studying a colorful fish tank, but more so now like a fellow fish cruising along behind them. She does not hesitate to raise her glass in the praises of Alaryck the martyr, and (if she's still here, I hope) to applaud the innocence of sweet lady Aliciel, glossed by the mastery of Joro's chilling poetic verse. Cynthia even finds a moment to speak.>>6425260"Knight Roa," Cynthia says, relaxed and amiable despite not even being quarter-drunk, "I believe you deserve some credit too. It's all hazy, but I think I remember waking up out there to an emerald flash, and I reckon that was thanks to your new brightlance... You know, that was the first time my hieroshield was broken: it really was a sobering experience, to taste a pinch of the suffering that you all go through regularly, but I suppose it helps fulfill my wish to stop being so damn sheltered all the time. Thanks to you all the same." She smiles meekly, shaking off the lingering sense of being out of place, and raises her glass for another toast.

>>6425475For a good few moments, Parsley is tempted to regard with suspicion and disdain Hestri's offering, almost certainly a herbal bog recipe. But in the end, he's too exhausted to look a gift horse in the mouth. The luminous brew is promptly poured into his cocoa and quaffed, and much to his pleasant surprise it actually does an exceedingly decent job at banishing the lingering numbness from his back! "Oh, that's... rather remarkable, actually! To scholarly wealth, indeed!">>6425481But his good humour quickly sours when Jorogumo rounds upon him with plentiful retort. As she rants and rants, he sputters with rage, turning from pale to red to purple in his cheeks until steam threatens to erupt from his ears. But then something seems to click, and he offers the spiderwitch a sniveling sneer."I think that titaniform's strike must have left you as birdbrained as its kin, you sad creature. Such a pitiful pestilent thing playing at personhood, thinking magic only good for violent ends and sating your barbaric hunger. Maybe the SURGEON hieroshield will help you comprehend a hint of civility and stand amongst us without constantly screeching about nothing of substance!"A theatrical shrug and a disappointed shake of his head follows. "Honestly, how blind and befuddled must one be to think an ICE ELEMENTAL frostbitten? Keh, it's a sad day when bloodshed is thought to be the only purpose of our craft. I performed perfectly adequately at my task of protecting Lady Wintry, as I'm sure she'll agree.

>>6425686"Bloodshed IS the only purpose of OUR craft, specifically." Conquest chimes up after a long, long silence. She's busy cleaning her gloves, which are smeared in a horrible assortment of bodily fluids. It's only to be expected considering the line of work they're in.She peels off one of her gloves without thought, exposing tuffs of grey...fur? "You can pretend all you want that there is more to this line of work. I usually do not comment on such things, for I feel that the boost to morale is more beneficial than the truth.""But," Conquest wags a finger. "We still go out there. We still bleed into mother earth's soil. We still slaughter monsters by the dozens. What purpose is there in seeing magic as anything more complex than a gun, or a sword, in an environment like this?""We can wax poetically about what magic can 'really' do, with our noses buried deep into textbooks and our minds in the clouds." Conquest finishes cleaning the glove she removed, sliding it right back over her fur-covered hand. "But what value is there in that?""At least you kept the elemental alive. That, I can give you credit for. I have grown fond of that arctic entity. Every army needs a mascot."
>>6425522Conquest adjusts her glove to make sure it fits just right. She taps at the list she wrote down."Adding on...">Corpscloak <Kullervo> [COST: 180 CORESHARDS]"My gut's gut is telling me to pick this, for whatever reason.

>>6425811The bogwitch emerges from the shadows like a charmed snake from a basket--her one visible eye wide and locked onto CONQUEST'S glove."The hair you hide on your hand is hedgelike, GIRL. I have a salve for that, should you seek it." She adds before leaning in to give the soldier's glove a sniff.

Its pages bear intrinsic power which can only be activated via static ritual and careful incantation.
>>6425917The bogwitch would be familiar with the smell hanging from the glove. The musty stench of wet fur, mixed with bitter metallic notes of blood and gunpowder: an aroma you'd expect to pick up if you stumbled across a wounded animal that was shot by a hunter. The soldier hastily pulls her hand away once she realizes what the bogwitch is doing. Her green eyes narrow into tiny little dots, behind the cloudy lenses of her gas mask. "My hand is perfectly fine. I- What would your salve do, if I may ask?" She adjusts her gloves again, to hide any traces of what's underneath them. "And I can't imagine why you needed to smell them."
>>6425686Joro takes a deep breath then takes Conquest's place as she steps aside."Hear me, man.""You sound like a fishmonger hawking half-rotten fish and eels with large heads or like the copper merchant of ill repute on 1st Old Street who kept selling my servants bad-quality copper ingots. I roll my eyes around at you till they come unscrewed and fall to the ground. And because you have treated me this way, I will give you woe.""It takes a special talent indeed to exalt the intellect while being blind to what is happening right in front of you. How could you be so ignorant of the very foundations of the era we now live in which are all those of blood? Our noble work necessitates the spilling of blood and every insight gained and every sigil crafted is dervied from the very flesh of our enemies. Even the fresh-faced student must come to know that the first sigils were wrought from the Abyssal tongues and molded by the will of the Hierophants. Not given, never given. Taken, in fact, by the force and the strenght and the iron will of man's outstreteched hands which seize the threads of his own fate and weave them in patterns to set the order in creation which we see todae. Before we used to mark our progress on this earth by means of tiles and four cardinals directions, and now we move by means of hexes and now in six. Hexes! How aptly named for this era of skirmish and sorcery!"Joro chuckles as if she had tasted something truly delicious. "Nonetheless...""Death and killing and war and violence are always at their zenith at every instantiation and in this historical instance and that which has come and will come to violence is the blood meridian, the midway of our vicious circle lies in blood meridians, and you have become myopic to the fact that the sum of humanity's achievements — its inventions, its art, and its culture — were borne of blood and tears. And it is the ultimate synthesis of these facts that all this failure and anguish and suffering is necessary to improve humanity, to reach dignity, to acquire the Glory of the world in all its myriad luster.""You Parsnip came forward to take part in our red-handed affairs, in love with your own intelligence, and now you balk at the price of it. You truly a dull and breathless man, nothing more than a ball of antic clay, to reckon the whole history of the world bloodless and painless, either one. Idiocy, blind idiocy, through and through. And by the clay in you, you will be crushed when the time comes."
>>6426000>>6416545And then, misconstruing the last comment and getting offended on the absent man's behalf, "What are you insinuating with that last bit? Are you really trying to put down Sir Aurafarmer's valor? His defiance and noble sacrifice under the raging storm of his life? How dare you! Such ill-manners! Such imprudence! You should be put into a pit with wild dogs! Both you and I merely empty the glass in our hands to sate our desires, and it is never enough. You ought to be more grateful to the man who fills it with his own blood. Can ye drink of the cup that he drinks of?"The monstrosity of a woman stamps her feet like a gigantic child in a tantrum or an ancient priest in an exorcism. Then as the passion fades away, she murmurs more to herself than anyone, "But if it is indeed blood that is called for, then I will provide. Sparing mine for lives of others is reason noble enough. Children drink their mothers and mothers must take care not to eat their children...">>6425486Her rage completely spent and now finally done with her tirade to verbally beat Parsley to death, Jorogumo takes the intermission to enjoy a big glass of syllabub and an equally big trifle with ice cream.>Hexrifle <LA-2: Agate>"Happiness is a warm gun (bang bang, shoot shoot)...">Skulksable>Corpscloak <Kullervo>>Spidersilk"Ah, those halcyon daes... There were spiderhaunted towers of mystery in great Zamora, ananariums that scraped against the very underbelly of the sky itself where my children wove and my children harvested..."

Jorogumo sighs aloud. But there is balm even here. Joro pauses for a moment, balking at the title of the diminutive one for the diminutive one, then decides to accept it and Roa's as well. She beams at the praise. "Now between the two of us, we must have bagged a dozen heads or more of those ragged birds, yes~"Another cute animation put out by the MINDWORM. How do you do it so well, man?
>>6425811"Aha, an astute and pragmatic perspective, even if I must disagree!" With Hestri's brew and all the verbal sparring, Parsley is feeling plenty warmed up, casting off his layers of blankets to inundate those nearby with the unfortunate knowledge that he has yet to bathe. Is this what they call aura? "Magic is a tool, of course. In our current vocation, it is primarily used in combative -and protective!- fashion, thank you kindly for acknowledging that. And indeed, the academy's textbooks are no substitute for practical experience-- I'd not be here if I didn't deem it necessary to improve my own magecraft.""But!" A finger waggle of his own is returned in kind. "What is an army and a war without a goal? Once, it was sheer survival, to stake our claim upon the land. Now, it is containment and defense-- to keep the foul beasts at bay and give our people the breathing room they need to grow and prosper. One day, we may even seek to eliminate the threat of the abysskin at their very source.""And even when that day comes and the quota for violence is met, magic with all its limitless potential will still have so many ways to improve our lives should we only seek them out. I for one will never allow myself to be so sequestered in specialization that I become blind to all else that magic can muster." If only his voice wasn't so terribly whiny, that might have been a half-decent speech.>>6426000The man's response for Jorogumo is far less eloquent. Bringing his hands up to his mouth, fingers mimic mandibles and he somehow manages to pitch his voice an even more annoying octave. "Hee haw, look at me, I'm such a sage with so many words and nothing of import! Civil conversation is wasted on me because all my mouth is good for is spewing venom and bile like the vermin I am!""Ahem. Pardon my jesterly conduct, good fellows." Parsley follows up by bowing in apology, not to Joro but to the poor onlookers who've had to witness his display. "Vitriol is sadly all the language this specimen can speak. I'll take my leave now, lest any of you get dragged into such a childish affair."Such camaraderie, much teamwork.
>>6426133Joro snickers at Parsley who fusses and wobbles like a diminutive jester in the court of spiders, just much less endearingly. "O Lord, thank you for making my opponents so ridiculous."Then, half-mocking and half-sincere, she says to the kid, "I don't get your humor Parsnip, it's probably because you are Benvatian, but I can congratulate you on the basis of trying. I really appreciate your hard work toward the funny. I hope some day somebody will laugh at your joke, not with an awkward laugh, just with a genuine smile and tears in the eyes. Work hard, it will pay off."
>>6425485>Gustbreather>Corpscloak <Kullervo>>Bolturbine>Scornspore>Bloodlet>Beastmauler <Mastiff>>Spellpick"Something I want to draw attention to is a synergy between Nettlefetter, Scornspore and Gustbreath. If you target a foe with it in melee range you're guarenteed to be able to make them get shredded by their fetters."
>>6426262You're a genius
>>6426262Nix the Spellpick off this list.
>>6425959The Bogwitch's eye widens in barely-contained excitement at the sudden discovery... and yet nary a word leaves her lips!"'Tis a simple shaving soap." The witch replies in a matter-of-fact, yet somewhat quieter tone. "Helpful to those whose hand hair hops too highly... and needs hiding."A crooked, albeit warm grin slips onto the bogwitch's face. "You may use or refuse, but it WILL help reduce~" To Conquest's second question, however, Hestri merely stares. "Hm. Neither can I... truly a mysterious world we live in..."
>>6426133The soldier silently listens to Parsley's words, waiting for him to say his spiel before offering a response of her own. She leans back in her chair, propping her boots onto the table, with little regard for social decorum. Luckily for him, Conquest is probably one of the few people in this hellish group that is totally noseblind to his 'magical aura'. Perhaps that's why she's kinder to him than the pile of animate spiders next to her."The goal of war is to conquer and dominate. There can be other reasons ATTACHED to that, yes, as a way to justify and explain the main point of war. Humans are funny like that." She draws her hexpistol from her holster. Even now, she's still clinging onto it, even in a place like this where it should be 100% safe. "Is our goal to slaughter the abysskin not, in a sense, showing our domination over the natural world? To show that we have rightful claim over our environment." "But even then, they are just one target, my dear Parsley." Conquest spins her pistol around, mostly in an attempt to look cool."Even if they were to vanish, Parsley, magic would still be used to fuel wars. There shall always be monsters, my dear Par, whether actual beasts or humans pretending to be monsters.""Have you see what it's like out there, in the fields?" Conquest points towards the tavern's exit. "I have seen men who were torn to shreds, barely clinging onto life, being raised back from the verge of death. This process would repeat, again and again, until one side either dropped from mental exhaustion...or the army went rogue.""Perhaps that has tainted my perspective. Perhaps I am simply incapable of processing a world that wouldn't require copious hyperviolence. Hand me a textbook one of these days, I may use it for my own studies.">>6426275Conquest briefly considers pointing her drawn gun at the bogwitch, but then she realizes that the others would probably not react well if she actually tried to use it. She holsters her pistol while staring down the bog creature. "Feh.""...The gloves hide it well enough." She whispers to the witch. "Give me a vial of that soap, though. I admit, I can not remember the last time I indulged in a proper, indulgent bath." She grimaces, hating the fact that someone noticed what's under her gloves, but at least Hestri wouldn't really do anything with this information. She hopes. "Sometimes, I even forget I can take off this outfit, or these gloves.""Pray tell, do you have anything good for removing the smell of blood?"

The hidden blades sewn within can lock together as armor or be quickly deployed as a devastating surprise weapon.EFFECTS: >Alcherune <Nigredo>: [ELEMENT: FIRE, NECROMANCY] [Runespace: 3; upon hitting an enemy, adds 3 Onyx Fire stacks, converting all negative fire stacks the enemy currently possesses or receives after into Onyx fire stacks instead.

Updated Dawnseeker sheet! (now in color... and RIP Roanor). It's a perfect time to our ranks, for anyone interested.
The doors to the Silverharp swung open as if commanded to do so by the winds themselves. As the very same gales blew into the tavern, a rather loud voice followed."FINALLY!" It was one of both shrill excitement and practiced presence-- whomever this young lady was, she was clearly one for the dramatic.As if to punctuate the exclamation, rolling thunder followed immediately after. A bolt of lightning found its way into the mages' lounge, zipping wayward and disappearing with haste, seemingly preceding the entrance of a rather fantastic woman.Fantastic, here, is to be read by its archaic definition. She was not the type of face you'd forget. Three horns protruded from atop her pale-white head, surrounding an enormous wig at least one-foot tall, sat atop a scaly skull best defined by its small snout and an enormous goggle within its center. Said goggle held two lenses-- one that, presumably, defended an eye, and another (much smaller) that rested ahead of it. This smaller lens's purpose was unknown, its color mismatched to its parent lens's, and it seemed to move rapidly about the perimeter of the larger lens as the lady panned around the tavern.The faint swish of a tail could be made out from the bottom of her oversized dress, quickly hidden in the rear, followed by the flickering of a thrice-forked tongue. Two pairs of arms protruded from just beneath an enlarged bosom, emphasized with an enormous pink bow and decorated with a slightly see-through sort-of scarf. One pair of hands, simultaneously well-manicured and clearly calloused, moved to fluff the bow more gently than their dagger-like nails seemed to allow.Whatever the stranger was, she wasn't human... nor elemental, dwarf, elf, or known monster. Only one thing was certain..."I am Countess Susanne the Second, at your service. Do you, perchance, happen to be the Dawnseekers?"

>>6426386"Please close the door dearie, there's a terrible draft outside," Jorogumo murmurs as she breaks off another piece of bread baked with nuts and dried fruits and spices. She looks up and her eyes narrow for a moment and then she relaxes again, almost returning to her meal but recalling her manners, as if the long-awaited appearance of the thing from a land so distant and alien that language fails to reckon its commencing prior and its existence continuing was ultimately quite ordinary and unable to evoke a remark."Why, yes, we are Dawnseekers. Our reputation has certainly preceded us, has it not?" Joro smiles serenely, as she always does. "Are those clothes in the latest style? I find the ribbon quite darling."
>>6426311The bogwitch's tongue pokes out as she spends a few moments in visible thought."... Why would anyone wish to do that?" She finally mutters, cocking her head to the side and eliciting a gutwrenching 'CRUNCH' from her neck! "I make many mixtures, yes, but the scent can almost be quite... comforting at times, can it not?" Retrieving a fresh potion from her robes with a resigned sigh, she gingerly places it in Conquest's hand. "Just keep it clear of any cuts or crevices. Stings, that.">>6426386Hestri's head spins like an owl's upon hearing the newcomer--then takes one more lap upon getting a glimpse of who--or rather WHAT--they are! Slithering over like a snake, the bogwitch foregoes answering the girl's question in favor of inspecting her with barely-disguised interest!"Marvelous..."

While similar to another round used by 'Scalor's Hand', a private mercenary group, this one has been modified to be more accurate at the cost of consistency. You can tell Conquest is getting a kick about it not being able to distinguish between friend or foe."War. It's a wonderful thing, is it not?"[Blaster Caster time, baby.

>>6426415"The scent of blood that has stained my outfit brings nothing out of me. No excitement, no joy. A numb, hollow emptiness where my love for war and bloodshed should be." The soldier says matter-of-factly."I do normally enjoy the smell of it as much as anyone else, and it does bring me comfort. It is a smell I have grown accustomed...and numbed to.""I wish to numb myself to the smell, for one night. So when the head of my enemy explodes again, and when their blood splatters onto my cloak, I will be able to relish it with a renewed sense of joy and delight. It is similar to the fact that eating too much sugar in one sitting can numb the palate, rendering even the most delicious of treats disgusting."Conquest bows her head at the bogwitch, before safely stowing the potion away. "That is all.">>6426386Conquest grimaces as she hears a shrill noise coming from the entrance. She snaps around, ready to aim at whatever was unlucky enough to stumble into this establishment. Her gun's already in her hand, and for a moment, she thought there was actually a monster wandering inside. That's the only way she can describe the appearance of the *thing* standing at the other end of the room. It's clearly not human, nor is it trying to hide its fact. Thankfully for the newcomer, she holsters her pistol before anything could happen.The soldier adjusts her bone white gas mask, like it's just not sitting right on her face. "I...see that we have a new comrade here. Welcome. We are, in fact, the assortment of soldiers and other hired help that consists of the 'Dawnseekers'." Her beady green eyes scans the vaguely reptilian beast from head to toe, just trying to make sense of it all. "Pray tell, what brings someone of your status down here?"

>>6426402Silently agreeing with the spider's assessment of the wind, Susanne turned around and summoned a bolt of lightning towards the door's handles. The handles bristled with electricity for just a moment, then flew backwards and slammed the doors shut almost as loudly as they'd been swung open. A satisfied grin crept across Susanne's face, even as discontented murmurs began to spread among the less theatrically-inclined guests, and the serpentine stranger soon sat beside her spider-like speaking partner."I know not of your reputation; only your team's age. You're rather new on the block, yes? Hardly one of the more *experienced* assemblies? I should hope so, anyways-- I've always wanted to get in on the ground floor of such endeavors." "As to fashion... yes, I've heard these garments are rather fashionable nowadays. I must admit it a happy coincidence-- I preceded this trend far before it ever was, and grow wearier of it by the day." The cyclopean countess paused a moment, only now realizing who (or what?) exactly she'd been speaking to, and a peek underneath her goggle would have shown off a squint. >>6426415Unfortunately for the three-horned thunder-bringer, another Dawnseeker soon caught her attention. Mumblings about marvels and a lack of respect for personal space prompted Susanne to hide her lower body beneath the table, and her mumbled comments to the bogwitch who'd bounded over to her barely disguised a hint of disgust... before a closer look at the end of its hat gave her pause."...oh! Are the two of you together? Perhaps master and servant?" The countess pointed to both witches at once with different pairs of arms, allowing her head rest on a remaining hand while she continued to speak. "Or-- witch and apprentice? Apprentice and witch?" The spider seemed a solid-enough connection.>>6426480The holstering of a pistol soon caught the countess's attention-- seemingly a fleeting thing-- and a third voice questioned her appearance. Another Dawnseeker, apparently, who was rather quick to the draw. Such a threat only prompted Susanne to giggle-- even more so after hearing the masked stranger's question. Someone of her status--!"The same thing that brings any man anywhere! Knowledge, power, the pursuit of progress-- all this and more! Haven't you the simple love for experience necessary for expeditions such as these?" Susanne's smile stretched past her snout, almost to the very same lens that continued flittering across its larger counterpart's rim. Even before any of her new coworkers could answer her questions, Susanne's head was slowly scanning the tavern for... something.

"...It's really not too bad if I take off my gloves.">>6426621 Adorable; thanks for not deleting this GIF! There's something about this quest that gets my creative juices flowing too... I've never done this much creative writing in my life. Cynthia turns to Aliciel, expressing a degree of warmth and patience she has only shown thus far to Wintry. "Hmm... I don't believe my history lessons taught me anything about Nigredo specifically, but I do recall the legends of the great Luciferian Alchemists that predate the advent of magic. Some even say they paved the way for the Hierophants, with their mad experimentation on abyssal substances, and I wonder if Nigredo was a part of that... maybe even some part of the sanctification process... or it could be a later invention. Regardless, for something as dangerous as this, I'm not surprised that Benavito's secret-keepers are aware of it."She takes a quick sip, then smiles slightly. "I wouldn't worry much about it. What that agent showed us earlier was a clear display of trust by revealing himself in his official garb. Power given to the wrong hands can be a disaster, but power given to someone trustworthy can make them an even greater asset... or at least that's a maxim that my tutor was paid very well to drill into my mind."The pair continue to chat, eventually turning to a discussion of the potential of the Golemductor as they walk from the tavern back to the guild hall. Cynthia explains the statistical advantage of Dealer's Whim over Unstable, and how well it would work with Ladybird. Cynthia also asks several questions about the fascinating "White Obelisk" related to Aliciel's new spell, making a mental note to ask Wintry if she's heard about it.

After some brainstorming, he devises a simple solution: channel the excess cold from Wintry into his spell! If only anything else about said spell was simple.>>6426311"You may be right," Parsley concedes. "So long as passions abound and pickings are slim, it can take but a spark for violence to ensue. But I shall press ahead, for if magic cannot yet sate any source of conflict, I believe it will lay upon the road I walk-- I need only march on."After some deliberation, he recommends Conquest a treatise on applied magic on seagoing vessels; a perhaps novel environment to the career soldier, yet one that's no stranger to mass combat. For the sake of not filling the thread with dozens of shitflinging posts, Parsley has elected to ignore Jorogumo for the night.>>6426863"A fellow scholar, I see, well met! Though you seem unaffiliated with the academy-- an independent researcher, if I may hazard a guess?" Parsley doesn't actually stay to hear the countess' answer. He reaches for the freshly slammed door, yowls like a castrated cat when a static shock from the handle zaps him, and makes a rapid exit to work on his spellery. Someone's gonna need to shut it again.
>>6426369Warpig feels satisfied with his choice to invoke the power of the old gods of his people, but something still felt awkward with how his gear fit together, his spells sometimes operating on paths askew to his intentions. But the Gods bless those who seek them, and when the red witch proferred a pair of gauntlets with pulsing veins running down the fingers, he knew he found his answer. The new spell form inscribed within linked his pelt's protection to the blood spilled by his cleaver; no more need to halt the bloodshed just to save his battered hide.

>>6426998“If Death Knell of Elegy of the Old Ones affect the caster despite the spell coming from the golem, the effects of hone, stalagmite armor, martyr’s resolve and dawnforce modifier should act in same way. I consider Golemductor <Scarab> quite similar with Grimoire <Drakeskin>, but instead of sacrificing mobility for its utilities, you put a weak point in the field.” Aliciel smiles. “That is, if the golemductor works just like I imagine.”“Casting Elegy of the Old Ones reminded me of some strange things in the Frozen Wastes, one of them being the White Obelisk. I saw it few times at long distances but had a close encounter once when the neighboring people thought it was a good day to hunt cattle. They isolate and make suspicious people look at the White Obelisk for some time... If it moves, you are reduced to a cattle or killed on spot. My father told me to rush and kick the White Obelisk if it moves on my turn, but it did not move.”>>6427141Berserk Onslaught, Ancient Rampart have PWR 7Fangbreaker (1), Hierosmite (2), Quickstep (1), Barrier (3), Dual Palm (2), Versatile (-2).>>6427128Just to make sure... Are you aware that Chain cannot target you? The most horrifying thing Aliciel saw in the previous combat was Parsley rushing towards a bid bird while carrying Wintry (>>6419252). Don't do that without a barrier.>>6427112I don't think spells with negative runespace is allowed. If it is, just get hid of that sprawling and create a spell with -4 runespace. I suggest finding a way to mix Fungal Feather and Rocky Run without Quickstep since Flashstep gives good amount of mobility already (8 Range counting Fangbreaker's +1 Range on Melee).
>>6427214If there's a problem with the negative Runespace, I'll just move Sprawling to the upper spell and call it a day. But I'll let it like that for now.The Quickstep is epic. I need no more.Still, this might end up being a disaster like all my builds.
>>6426863Despite her apparent aloofness, Jorogumo has put both hands on her thighs and leaned in to listen to the creecher's responses like a small and eager child watching a puppet play in utter fasciantion. "Certainly not! I've claimed no such thing in this age," Jorogumo scoffs as Hestri butts in. "Such imprudence and such ill-manners! How could you hold an audience or apprenticeship you had not yet *asked for,* child of bog? Away from mine gaze, tainted one, and get thee gone." Jorogumo puts both hands on Hestri's face and gently pushes her away. She pauses for a second then delicately wipes her hands with a handkerchief. Her eyes seem to shine with a devilish energy. "asked for, hmm? asked for indeed, kehehe...""Well then..." Joro stops muttering and continues. "Questions that don't need answers and answers to all other questions.""Yes, you've reckoned these things correct. Up to a point. We are the Spelldivers known as the Dawnseekers and members of the guild Dawnstone under illuminated leadership of our guildmaster, Doctor Kudrayavka. But in practice, the good doctor Curly is a mere novitiate to this 'business' and more of a scholar and a crafter of sigils and a subject to our own larger will and the very title of guildmaster may very well bring with it all the prestige and responsibility of some kind of fucking manchild mental asylum director. A woman of her intellect and particular character — with a faint heart and a fear of blood — works best in the background and Not as a Participating Caster. She may direct us, binding and loosing us to the places where there is much work not yet done, but ultimately our Fate has been woven into patterns by some other agency altogether.""Personally, her quite rotund kosha kot comports herself with greater authority than the doctor herself does." Jorogumo lets out a series of weird insect hisses, chuckling in fact, then tilts her head from side to side in a cryptic gesture. "Ah yes... I recognized you when I first saw you and yet you still know me not. Then and now. But at the last you are here in time." Joro taps the chin of her "face." "Or not. Means and ends are of little moment here, though by my reckoning the misadventures of our guild have begun a little over two munths ago. 61 daes and 23 hours ago. fun fun fun."Joro stares at the reptilian thing for a moment too long, then recomposes herself. "Pardon my manners and the lack thereof. I am the Lady Jorogumo Korokumo, Marchioness of Vatos, a kingdom now deposed for a century since. I must entreat you to call me not a 'witch' for I quite abhor the term and have burned and trampled many of them in my dae. I must also ask you for forgiveness as I must reiterate my close colleague Conk's question: wherever have you come from?"
>>6426535"Sir Thorne, from wherever do you keep finding these creechers? This is the third spirit or daemon or whatever conjured being I've seen bound to your will.""just askin'. it's pretty awesome."
>>6427112Spells with less than zero runespace will be treated as having 0 runespace in your net calculation. This is to avoid people making dummy spells with, for example, magelight/strike/unstable/elegy to get -4 runespace with zero consequences besides losing a spell slot.

>>6427246Looks good!
>>6427214Yep, the Barrier is mainly for Wintry's benefit. I'll be banking on the Stalagmite DC to keep Parsley alive. Please look forward to more unwise moments.
>>6426863"...The love I have for this starts and ends with the sight of exploding heads. Though I will admit, I have grown fond of these..." Conquest's arms swim through the air in a large, sweeping motion, vaguely gesturing at the tavern she and the lizard thing are in. "comrades of mine.""I suppose there isn't a better reason for someone to be here beyond 'power' and 'knowledge'. It is not like this is prestigous work. But who says it has to be? I do hope you will prove yourself useful in the battlefield, lest I have to worry about yet more deadweight sitting around and doing nothing.">>6427128The soldier bows at the Rotund Beast she knows as Parsley. She scrambles away to take a rare break from her usual duties of 'wandering around and keeping watch of the tavern', both to read the book and to use the products Hestri gave to her.A small golden coin, slightly tarnished with dirt and soot, rests on the table Parsley is sitting at. A piece of money that is not at all useful given their line of work, but it's the gesture that counts.
>>6427319"Ha! Worry not for my efficiency, comrade!" Susanne cackled, clearly entertained by the stranger's dry remark. She seemed to consider patting the rat-like soldier on its back, but reconsidered the gesture and kept her claws to herself. "I can assure you that will be most in-order." As the rat scrambled away, Susanne returned her attention to the other two spelldivers by her side...>>6426873>>6427240The flood of information from Jorogumo seemed to invigorate the countess quite thoroughly. Though you could hardly see it-- the reptilian almost seemed fixed in some kind of trance-- her mind was ablaze with thoughts and questions that would have fallen out of her mouth like water from a spout had she not caught herself and readjusted.Jorogumo continued on for quite some time. Enough for Susanne's lens to stop its twitching and scanning and settle on a stationary position directly mirroring one of the spider-woman's eyes. The snaky stranger held her uncanny grin throughout her new coworker's entire ramble, but let it fade once she finally spoke back."Then I have the right team," she began. Hardly two months of operation seemed like a sweet spot-- just enough for the existing team to work as a unit, not so long that Susanne couldn't integrate herself as an important member. "Many thanks for the clarifications. Your ill manners are forgiven."A hand was lazily extended to the marchioness, a glance given back to the small bog witch who'd been shoved away by now, and a glimmer of recognition danced across the lens of Susanne's goggle... for just a moment. It faded rather quickly, and the scaled pseudo-serpent made no acknowledgement of it. "You already know my name and title," she hummed, "and that is as much information as one needs to understand me. My origins mean naught; my loyalties lie with your team. Could you find it in your heart to spare a witch's child just this once? I would prefer not to be trampled upon." Susanne brought her lower pair of hands to her chin and feigned a child's pleading, seemingly halfway serious about the gesture. Or was she? It was hard to tell.
Ophelia, due to a rangeban, has sent me her build details privately. That being said, several other players (Jorogumo, Eigengrau, and Undying Roa) are late.

All of you huddle around the usual conference room, met with an even more dour Kudryavka than last time and an even larger, more hurriedly penned stack of reports and research data. Her eyes are sunken, prominent bags showing when her spectacles aren't fully reflecting the lights of the room back at you.“Your work has been more important than you might have thought.” She announces, a weary resignation in her tone, “Your commitment to protecting the defenseless and your bottomless hunger for Coreshards have both happened to lead to a vital discovery.”She places what looks like a hairpin on the table, a simple pointed golden edifice engraved with a deceptively vast amount of detail, subtly finished to make it seem near flat on first viewing. In the center is a coreshard crystal, thrumming ever so faintly upon the tabletop.“This, we suspect, is what caused the mutation of the Titaniform.” She explains, “From there, it fed upon the mutant’s vast mana pool to bolster its flock, eventually leading to their mutations as well. Analysis shows both the alloy and the metallurgy techniques are… not of human origin.”The atmosphere of the room darkens— this could only mean that one of the societies of the High Abysskin, those few beasts capable of complex speech and society, has learned a method of forcibly strengthening other monsters.“Thankfully, it isn't perfect. The Titaniform you fought likely would have been weaker than a naturally occurring mutant of a similar size and stature.

>>6427530The soldier finally reappeared after what seemed like days. For once, the stench of old blood and gore is no longer hanging around her body. The rest of her uniform has gotten a tune/stitchup it hasn't had in weeks. Sure, you can tell she was the one who did the stitching, with how rustic and sloppy the needlework is, but as long as it works!"The 'soap' you provided for me earlier," Conquest aims a finger gun at the bog witch. "It worked better than I expected. You truly are a useful asset, despite your bizarre mannerisms." Her eyes scanned through the missions. A bitter laugh escapes her as she spots the 'Iciclemmings' mission, for some inexplicable reason. "Poor creatures.">”This one’s a personal request from me, your party manager!

>>6427530Cynthia replies, "I suppose you're right to compare our Golemductor with the Grimoire, since both require careful attention to use, but the difference is that the Grimoire strengthens your influence at the position you stand, while the Golemductor allows you to spread your influence remotely. I won't deny that Ladybird is quite weak, but I've found that makes it all the better as a scout, since those monsters are surprisingly dismissive of it. I don't think I'll ever get tires of flying right under their stupid noses.""Regarding Elegy, I learned a little from my conversations with Dr. Kudryavka: she explained that Elegy, unlike other sigils, requires you to stake your mortality itself for the spell, like an ante in a game of cards. A construct does not have any mortality to offer, so if it sings the Elegy, the debt must be paid from another source, the most straightforward being the Golem's conductor. If anything, it proves how pernicious dealing with the Cthonic is..." Cynthia pauses for a moment, deliberating if she should continue. "Don't tell anyone I said this, but from what I've seen of the last couple months, I think that gambling is one of the most important parts of being a Spelldiver. It might even be the only way to attain the disruptive power we need to break through those fiends. If you are going to bend the strange power of the White Obelisk to your will, I only ask that you be extremely careful."As Cynthia sleeps that night, echos of stories tied to her middle name ripple through her mind, except now from a perspective deeper than she has ever considered them before.>>6427214>WroughtbeetlesThe conversation Cynthia had with Aliciel on their stroll last night has her little robo-beetle at the front of her mind. She taps her page of briefings decisively with a gloved finger. "What could be a better source for improvements to Ladybird than what probably inspired their design in the first place? This certainly has *my* vote."
>>6427692Oops, I got the links backwards.
>>6427691The bog witch in question still lies on the sticky and booze-scented tavern floor where her 'fellow witch' pushed her down to. Hearing the soldier's praise, a crooked grin pushes across Hestri's face as her limbs sway happily like an anemone's tentacles."Keheheh... yes, I am an admirable asset, aren't I? Together us cogs crank the clock..."... Yea, she doesn't look like she's in a hurry to get up any time soon, much to the serving staff's chagrin. Some may daresay she likes it down there... It's only after some startled realization slips onto her face that she turns to the soldier once more--still splayed out on the floor like a broken dish."Ah yes. The Test. Acquire me every dish on the menu--I wish to determine the best of them all. The Innpressive. The Inncredible..."

>>6427329THEN...Jorogumo stares at the hand, her expression inscrutable as always, then at the Countess, scrutinizing her body plan and the logistics of it. At last, reckoning a reciprocation impossible, Joro gently and firmly takes the handshake and does a small curtsy afterwards as is required in these introductory encounters. Even a dumb beast like herself may observe some rudiment of propriety."Aaaaaaaalright then, you atrocious fiend... I forgive you." Joro says half-jokingly, half-serious in turn. "In any case, I am pleased to make your acquaintance, my lady.""Indeed, you have exercised a good deal of discretion in not divulging your backstory, far above that of the layman. We do not wish to know too much, just as it is not always wisdom to be wise. It is better to preserve wisdom enough to grow beyond measure, beyond all human power..." Joro's expression darkens subtly but she stops herself from saying something else."It is like when your friend goes up to you and says 'hey! i got a coupon for an All-You-Can-Eat buffet!' Then you go and find out they are having a special sale, so they serve you even more. Are the two of you eating well? No! You only get so bloated that you throw up!" Joro makes a dismissive gesture. "So much to absorb that you just lose everything. Unsavory details are better left on the plate.""But if we are to exchange trivia about ourselves..." Joro leans in and affects a mischievous stage whisper. "Then I'll have you know that my mother was a spider and that my father was very brave."Joro leans back and cups her hands together to cover her face in a disconcertingly childish gesture. "Fuhuhuhu...">>6427739NOW...At Alaryck's gentle reminder, Joro sighs dramatically and stops trying to generously disembowel herself in front of an increasingly pale Dr. Kudrayavka. She listens and nods to the rest of Alaryck's dialogue as she puts away a knife the size of a claymore."You speak truer than you know. I too am a normal human being just like you and her," Joro says cryptically."'Meridians,' Sir Alric?" Joro hums to herself. "The insertion of these pins is like the steeping of tea leaves into a boiling cup of water. Not a matter of where, but of when and how long. Inserted into the flesh of a beast, the tannin of mutation is swiftly released and infuses the blood with an extraordinarily potency but also just as much bitterness. Overbrewed and with a certainly inferior flavor but there are those who seek such bitterness of the heart, just as the good doctor says. Cowardly and vile creechers..."Good spider btw, I'd put that on Joro and have TWO spiders at once.
>>6427817>>6427675"Whatever. Go, my Kumoling."At her word, Kumo skitters up to Parsley and starts pulling insistently at the hem of his robes. As he turns down to look, a sneer forming on his face and his mouth opening to retort and his body rumbling like the bowels of the earth ready to loose, Jorogumo strides up from behind and plucks the pin from his grubby fingers. Kumo makes herself scarce and climbs up Joro's back like a waterspout.Ignoring the fine engravings of the mere facade, Joro gets to the truth of the matter and holds up the head of the pin to the light, casting strange refractions of color upon her facade..."It all starts with this... A crystal containing a fraction of that grand source of power...""seems different these daes.""Inferior craftskinship.""but that's to be expected.""In the long defeat of history, all great things must be diminished in time. Out of all the monsters of legend and the men who slew them and the great powers that clashed all about them like terrible tears of thunder, it is the silence which has prevailed. O worm of worms! All stories are ultimately about the Fall, in fact, and all progressions from a higher to a lower order are marked by ruins and mystery and a residue of nameless rage." "the abyss can still do much better...""Make monsters so much worse..."Jorogumo stops monologuing and presses the pin back into Parsley's hands as if it were burning her. "I do not wish to be reminded of such weapons and of such dark daes. Do with it what you may in all your foolish intellect.""don't eat it though, or you'll get sick!" Kumo adds helpfully.
For the second time today, the doors to the Silverharp are suddenly slammed open, this time by someone definitely human, though not very magely looking: a boisterous man in full knight's armor with Steelsewn cloth, and a large, silver-glowing sword by his side."In the name of The Queen, it is I, Sir Willis IV, come to join your magely ranks and assist the good folks of the kingdom!"(You have no idea who this man or his "Queen" is.)Sir Willis IV=Stats=14/14 (12+2) HP3-1 MOV8+3 DC=Spells [12RS]=Slice: 2d5+2ACC, 7+1PWR (damage), 1+1RNG (Hierosmite/Wreathe/Crescendo: Deal 7 damage (base) to a target in melee range) [4RS]Queen's Blessing: 2d5+3ACC, 8+1PWR (heal+move), 1+1RNG (Restore-Quickstep/Wreathe/Crescendo: Restore 8 HP (base) to a target in melee range and give them +8 MOV) [7RS]Knight's Guard: 2d5+2ACC, 0+1PWR, 1+1RNG (Martyr's Resolve/Strike: Pick a target in melee range and take damage in their stead for the turn) [1RS]=Items=-Hieroshield Ring [Bulwark]-Casting Focus [Fangbreaker Spellsword]-Magecloth [Steelsewn]-Communicator [Knight's Helmet (nobody tell him armor doesn't help when you have a hieroshield)]-Handpick

>>6427833(another note: queen's blessing should be 2d5+2ACC, not 2d5+3. i don't know where that extra point came from, oops.)
>>6427833Directing his attention to the knight. "Another one of the Queen's men, good to see. One thing I wish to point out is some potential with Knight's Guard. Since you don't need very high PWR for that, you should add Dealer's Whim alongside a one runespace sigil like Hierosmite for a net zero spell and free up one runespace.You can choose who is under Martyr's protection so PWR doesn't matter unless you want to guard several allies."
>>6427841"I thank you for your advice, Sir Bandage Mage, but I believe a good knight should strive for CONSISTENCY!"(i.e. i'm not sure if dealer's whim could round down to 0 and negate the effect. that, and i don't know what i would spend the extra RS on anyways... i guess trickshot could be useful on something.)

>>6427826"What do you want, you scurrilous habuhwha--?!" Pulled from his studious trance by the Kumos' intrusion, Parsley rolls his eyes and mimes a blabbering mouth with one hand while glaring at the taller one. Once she is done and hands back the ornament, he gingerly sets it back on the table. "What an oh-so-informative lecture by such an ancient sage! Go pretend you know what you're talking about to someone else.">>6427833"Are you sure you have the right address, good sir? The barracks are four roads down, past Saint Cedric Square."
>>6427911>Are you sure you have the right address, good sir?"Oh yes, quite sure! I was hand picked by The Queen herself to be here, after all. What good is someone of my stature standing around as a guard dog all day, when I could be out there with you lot stopping these accursed corespawns at the source?""...Not to say the guardsmen and soldiers here aren't good men, of course. Their line of work just isn't quite- um, what The Queen had planned for me, is all." (the masculine urge to just respond with FUCK YOU)
>>6427833The bog witch's eyes shine through her messy hair like lanterns in the woods at the new arrival! "A knight?! Tonight!? A nighty-knight!" Slithering over with a different piece of cake in each gloved hand, the girl gives the knight's armor a hearty flick, nodding with approval at the sound it makes!"'Tis noble of a noble knight to take up our noble cause--nobler still to be in service of The Queen herself... t'will be a treat to have one such as yourself on our humble team, good ser... I daresay you and good ser Thorne will get on like a hut on fire... keheheh."She holds out one of the cake slices to the newcomer. "Pray to partake? We're still collecting data, but this corn chiffon is delightfully delicious...">>6427887Another banger! Props for capturing Hestri's, uh... Hestriness. Hurdy looks like he needs a hug, dude.
>>6427887Hot damn, this is Q U A L I T Y!Also whooo gave Kumo a gunnnn
>>6427833"Ahh he he he, another fine warrior joins our ranks, yess. Come, knight of a thousand and one knights! Let us swap tales, ones from the battlefield..."Lansa raises a glass of blazeberry khammr, as his other hand gestures to the seat on his table currently not occupied by a drunk Hestri trying to cast some kind of spell on him. That, or she is just wiggling her fingers at Lansa for fun.
>>6427833"The word was heard and at last we'll be there in time," Joro says. "Most assuredly, the hand of Providence has guided to us a knight in shining armor." "a good omen, you.""Hail Sir Willis IV! Look no further for an icon of bravery, everyone!" Joro claps her hands together as she motions grandly to the newcomer. "Unfortunately, this is a Republic and not so much a noble Kingdom..." Joro mutters darkly. Yooooo, it's John Dark Souls. Welcome to the team. This really shaping up to be a funny Darkest Dungeon mashup setting.>>6427848I took a crack at it. Here's a monstrosity of a single spell combining all of the above effects AND it's consistent.

Heal 8 and give 8 bonus MOV OR deal 8 damage, depending on the target. Protect up to 8 people of your choosing within 2 Range upon casting as well. (lol)And then take a random 0 RS spell like Magelight + Strike, I'm not so sure about this.
>>6427952With this build, you may as well also tack on >Modifiers:Versatile [-2 PWR, 1-4 Runespace] -3Crescendo [+3 PWR, 2 Runespace] -1Which nets you a free PWR and a free RS to do whatever you want with. I'd recommend Scuttle, personally.
>>6427951The bog witch's head creaks to the side, puzzled, with an unsettling CRACK."... Drunk?"
>>6427948>>6427951>>6427952Willis suddenly seems to lose some of his confidence, especially upon hearing Lansa's offer to exchange stories."Ah. y-yes, thank you for the offers and greetings - admittedly, though, I only came here to give some basic introduction. It's been a long day for me and I'll need to head to bed early to make sure I'm well prepared for our quest. Apologies, but we'll have to postpone becoming truly acquainted for now."With that, he leaves the conversation quickly to find his lodgings...(i will also have to leave, as it's pretty late for me.) (and much like willis i don't do too well in improv.)>>6427952>>6427953(jesus christ)(alright, maybe i'll switch to that then. thank you.)(i forgot a bit about effects differentiating between friend and foe like that.)(though, it does feel a bit... thematically lame? having one "do-everything" spell as opposed to multiple purpose-built spells, but my inner munchkin is beating out my inner chuuni so i'll take it.)
>>6427953(actually, quick question: how does self-buffing movement work, with or without scuttle? does having scuttle allow you to do something like using your normal movement, then casting the spell for the buff, then using the rest of your now-buffed movement? or is that something you could do normally?)

Alternatively, you can remove Quickstep and Versatile, then tack on Forte x1 for a total of 5 PWR (6 with Dermislicer] which is significantly more healing.Honestly though, your original build was perfectly good! I think there isn't any need to adjust it if it seems lame to do so.
>>6427968You could absolutely do this with scuttle, yes. Unfortunately you cannot move some, cast, and then continue movement without Scuttle on your spell.

Araneids, sometimes called Coreweavers, are a family of abyssal spiders known for their webs and silk. They range in sizes, with the smaller (and usually closer to the surface) species being around the weight of a horse, while those closest to the depths can grow to the size of a house. They operate on a loose social structure, often consisting of a broodmother and her immediate offspring, cohabitating and building massive web structures between generations. One quirk of surface-adjacent Araneids is their Darkwebs an evolutionary adaptation used to fight back against the magelight-wielding Magecorps that so often dive into their residences. Modern magelights are powerful enough to dispel the mana on the recently laid or thinly spread ones you might find on the ground, but the ceiling is completely impenetrable, so dense with webbing that neither light nor sorcery can break it without heavier duty magics than you have on hand. Thankfully, Araneids are highly territorial, and will never spend too long hiding as long as a threat remains in their den.>ARANEID JUVENILE[HP: 20, MOV: 5, DC: 6; gains 2x MOV efficiency and ignores enemies and hazards while climbing walls and pillars.

Also, please don't forget to append your spell summary to your turn post.---As the Dawnseekers deploy onto this spider-infested land, with nothing to aid them but their spells and their intuition, they do what they can to break their way through the dark. FLOCHE and CONQUEST shower the battlefield in their magelights, firing, reloading, and firing, the crack of their revolvers filling the air. FLOCHE accidentally hits one of the juveniles, illuminating it mid-ambush. It screeches, scuttling away in a panic.On the rightward flank, more blindfire finds its mark: WINTRY's Wintersun finds yet another young spider, the frigid mana slowing the pace of its legs even as it desperately tugs at the thread connecting it to its ceiling den. UNDYING ROA, in yet another dazzling feat of prognosis, sends her Brightlance out, sinking into the enemy Darkspinner as if she had fired it in broad daylight.The little LADYBIRD proceeds north, follwed and protected by the gallant SIR WILLIS. It is a fortunate thing he did, as the unlikely pair encounter a spider as soon as they stop.

>>6428738Since their last jaunt to the Silverharp, some Dawnseekers may have noticed that Cynthia has seemed even less chatty than usual; attentive to her comrades, sure, yet also quite introspective. Notably, she’s avoided any contact with the bombastic slithery countess (Joro was enough of an insane mind-boggling mockery of a proper noblewoman, so perhaps Suzanne was a step too far to manage).Yet, her muteness breaks when her bold little mechanical fly is promptly greeted by one of its natural predators, which latches its chelicerae onto Ladybird like a sprung trap, piercing through its shell and injecting vile digestive venom deep into its innards. A traumatized Cynthia doesn't squeal this time, but she does expel a dramatic gasp. "I found one!" she announces, with some pride, but mostly with horror and resignation, fully expecting Ladybird to be crushed to bits.Yet, the strange brave knight steps up from behind, bolstering Ladybird's frail hieroshield at the expense of his own safety, even through the subsequent onslaught of black webs that make it seem like the darkness itself is clawing back at the Dawnseeker's purifying light. And, at the epicenter of the darkness, a mountainous but indistinct silhouette could barely be seen, before arising and melting into the ceiling above.There is no time for a well-deserved thanks for the selfless knight, however, since a worsening glitchiness affecting the signal beamed to Cynthia's glasses is making it clear that Ladybird's time is numbered (whatever unholy concoction the spiders employ seems to work surprisingly well against the non-fleshy beetle). Determined, Cynthia sends Ladybird on a frantic chase deeper into the darkness, hoping to maybe prevent the queen's disappearance by encircling with lights the area she vanished from.

Rolled 4 (1d5)>>6428749Once again, the chaos of battle commences all around, Parsley and Wintry standing amidst all manner of magic and muck being slung between both sides. It briefly miffs Parsley that no spider seems willing to test his shield of icy shards, though this time he has his own way to force the issue. Stepping forward in the wake of Roa's brightlance, he avoids the mire of obsidian webs left in the darkspinner's wake. "Stars above, I'm glad for these boots. Best investment I ever made.

Rolled 1 (1d5)>>6428749The serpentine stranger gave her surroundings a quick look. Much to her dismay, almost every visible enemy was out of reach. "What a bother," she mumbled under her breath. "I can hardly test anything this way." Briefly considering a healthier teammate to target, the cyclopean spelldiver instead turned her attention towards a nearby line of webbing. Its source seemed... unclear.Figuring that experimenting upon an ally would be considered unseemly so soon into her career, Susanne decided instead to move forth a little and call upon the same lightning she'd utilized last turn.Static jolts of the stuff began to gather around her horns as the stranger stepped (slithered?) forth...
>>6429270...only for them to fizzle out and fall away, losing themselves to the same darkness Susanne intended to pierce through."What?!" Caught off-guard, the countess seemed enraged-- briefly. Not a moment later, she composed herself and crossed a pair of her arms. Another procured a notebook and pencil and began jotting down exactly what she was now grumbling about to herself. "More testing required-- out of battle. Wig unreliable..?"

HP remaining: 5---The DAWNSEEKERS strike back with ferocity, their spells burning with equal measures righteous fury and abject disgust at the hideous forms of their enemies. EIGENGRAU lifts his rifle, lightning crackling across the tips of his tendrils as he readies and aims it, the blue glow of his magic refracting from his spectacles as it soars through the battlefield, tearing straight through one juvenile, then another, then burning into the carapace of the Darkspinner behind it. Ur-Glarbaoth's LIFE-ENDER finishes the work, snaking through the air and leaving nothing but char and rot in its wake.Towards the rearguard, things are no less successful. PARSLEY distracts two of the juveniles, his flashy display of spellcraft forcing them to focus on himself, preventing them from vaulting back to the ceiling or attacking his vulnerable allies. WINTRY and ROA almost kill another Darkspinner, leaving it on the brink of death, forcing it to scramble and eat its own webs. Westward, WARPIG and OPHELIA tear through their own victim, no small feat considering it was nimble enough to evade LANSA's flames.

First come the DARKSPINNERS and JUVENILES, snuffing out magelights and weakening CONQUEST's defenses. Then, the SWARMQUEEN appears, spitting one globule of poison directly onto Conquest, and the other on the ground near Cynthia, Eigengrau, and Ur-Glarbaoth, not realizing that they had already been knocked down by the insidious Blackthread spear.Oddly, though LANSA did not hit a target, something unusual begins to happen: the fire left in the wake of his flames ignites the web, creating a blaze imbued with the Darkspinners' mana.

Thanks to his aid, and the damage done to the small spiders, she feels confident enough to try and assault the whole group at once. Attempting to cast her spell causes her confidence to flicker. She thumbs the magical deck that she’s been given, quickly drawing a card without looking and sliding it into a slot on her staff-sword. This time, her output relies on the fortune afforded by the poke-her cards, a tarot deck dedicated to a legendary saint that had been jabbed to death.

Rolled 8 (1d14)>>6430051Resigned to Ladybird's demise, Cynthia peeks out from under her glasses to see a stout pair of wizards standing shoulder-to-shoulder. From behind, she watches as their deadly magic launches out in parallel, secretly impressed by their combined power. But what's this? Cynthia can hardly believe it when she realizes that Eigengrau was the source of the sapphire lightning. She was guessing at this point that he was just an old haunted cloak that happened to follow them around everywhere, but this is definitive proof toward the contrary.But, like she's the audience to a horrific play that she's helpless to stop, her eyes dart side to side as spiders descend upon them from all sides. She scarcely has time to register what has happened when a an explosion of obsidian webs blanket her and the pair in front of her, the force of which knocks her to the ground in a swoon.Thankfully, perhaps because divine grace recognized Cynthia's relative humility, Hestri's spell soon has her reawaken. She groans as she stands, tearing away at the inky silk as it stubbornly clings to the fabric of her dress. "Ugh... this is going to be a pain to wash out..." (Cynthia will probably never get used to doing her own laundry).Her spell being useless in close range, Cynthia turns the point of her wand westward, aiming toward the mountain of dark mass she can just barely make out in the distance. Also, by some miracle, or some mechanical fail-safe, Cynthia finds Ladybird functional enough to send on one last frantic attempt to push forward the boundary of their precious light.>Cynthia casts Electrum Braid horizontally as shown (NW, no trickshot)>Ladybird casts Quicksilver Wings on self (rolling now for Dealer's Whim)>Ladybird moves as far along the path shown on pic rel as possibleCynthia (5 HP, 4 MOV, 6 DC, FIRE Weakness):Current status: 5/5 HPFocus:>Golemductor <Model: Scarab>Hieroshield:>ElementalistCloak:>Hoarfrost VeilElectrum Braid (tricky version):Effect:>Voltsphere [ELEMENT: LIGHTNING]Form:>LanceModifiers:>Dawnforce>Sprawling >Longshot >TrickshotTotals: 2d4+3 ACC (+1 if 6 illuminated tiles), 1 + (distance) + (illuminated tiles) // 2 DMG, 7 RANGE, PIERCE, TRICKSHOT, +1 ICELadybird V3 (3 HP, 4 MOV, 6 DC, non-healable, ignores terrain hazards):Current Status: 1/3 HP, 1 NEG POISONQuicksilver Wings (gambling version):Effect:>QuickstepForm:>WreatheModifiers:>Dealer’s Whim>Crescendo>Imbue ICETotals: +(6 x 0.1 x (1d14+1) ) MOV, 1 RANGE, +2 ICE(dice is actually 1d14, with rolling a 1 being equivalent to rolling a 15)

Rolled 2 (1d5)>>6430051>>6430055Ah, nothing soothes the spirit much like a spell working perfectly. As Parsley's frigid bolt strikes the spiders in sequence, the powdery release of spores compels them to seek the mushrooms starting to sprout on his hat. But in doing so, they imperil themselves twice over-- first by the frozen icicles that have captured their skittering feet, rending and shredding the appendages that pull free, and then by the crystalline rapier of ice that rebuts their meager attacks. And the best part is, he's perfectly comfortable with the ambient cold being funneled away into his staff! Everything's coming up Parsley."Goodness, that sounded rather horrid," he remarks, hearing the commotion that's overtaken the center of the cavern. Right on cue, his path forward is made clear by a green flash scything its way through the juveniles, one dropping dead by Roa's hand. "Your lance is as formidable as always, good lady. Allow me to ensure you're not laid low like those other poor sods." Pressing onward with Wintry in tow, he turns back with a flourish of his staff. "Rest assured, I will catch up to and surpass your prowess.

Rolled 2, 5 = 7 (2d5)>>6430044Deep in thought and theories as to how to improve her ranged attack, it took the swift death of a nearby comrade to snap Suzie out of her spell. As the stranger yelled out his intentions to slay the spider's queen and promptly perished, a chill ran down Susanne's spine. Any normal person might assume this would be due to fear-- regret, doubt, some sort of second thoughts about joining this brigade. Anyone with access to Susanne's mind, however, would know that was not the case.Not long after her neighbor's Hieroshield broke, the countess heard someone calling her name!>>6430224Someone needed her help! By god, was Susanne eager to give it! Wasting no time in somersaulting over the fallen warrior and landing perfectly in front of her ally, a glimpse of recognition danced across the serpentess's lens. "At your service! As I last mentioned, everything should be in order..." Susanne quickly exchanged her notebook and pencil for some kind of... bottled mixture. What exactly it was made of was unknown, and its purpose was purely for demonstration."Now, be at ease. If you see anything like this upon your person, fret not. It is meant to further accelerate healing, not indicate disease." While she spoke, the stranger procured a small stick of pumice and began to sharpen her nails. The bottle was briefly dangled in front of the ailing rat, then stuffed away again. "If you decide to be rid of it regardless, blame only yourself."Before Conquest could respond, Susanne struck at her like she would a foe! Razor-sharp nails raked the rat's body, digging deep into Conquest's wounds... but barely paining her at all. Moments later, an enormous tail struck out at the spider that'd caused all that harm in the first place! With an end almost as sharp as the nails digging into Conquest, the tail wasted no time in attempting to skewer the spider through its midsection. From the looks of it, that skewering was the opposite of invigorating...

A tuff of grey fur pokes out of a tear in Conquest's coat, but in a hectic warzone like this, only someone who's keenly looking at her would notice it.Like, say, the person who just healed her. Her body struggles to right itself after everything that happened. It's like watching a poorly controlled marionette dancing around, to the whims of an invisible puppeteer. She didn't quite know what to make of the lizard's cryptic remark about the body, but all she knows is that she's alive.That's all she can really ask for. She cracks her neck with a sickening crunch, before giving the royal Countess a proper salute, befitting of someone as high class as a **Countess.**.

I'll have to remember to pick one of them up for later. Remind me, won't you?" Susanne asked Conquest, barely noticing if the rat responded before having her focus stolen by a pair of newcomers. Before she could say anything else, one of them struck at her!A gash opened up in the countess's shoulder; a hiss escaped her lips. Another strike before she could retaliate, weakening her further-- this one laced her with a poison she couldn't recognize, rejuvenating her just enough to get an idea. "You're all rather c-conveniently positioned," she muttered under her breath. Her eye darted back and forth between the three spiders now encircling her, chittering with delight as Susanne began to limp, not paying much attention to anything more than her open wounds. "Shouldn't take much to be r-rid of you, then, should it?"Lightning crackled across her wig once more...

Electricity raced up her ivory crown, coalescing into balls near the tips of each horn, crackling into a furious crescendo as the surrounding light empowered Susanne further!Seeking a tactical retreat and further firepower, Susanne shrank back just a little. She retreated a single space, just enough to put space between her and the spiders......before letting lightning STRIKE, aiming for the furthest spiderling of them all!

While the battle has been going on, she hasn’t had much time to notice the cracking of hieroshields. It’s already too late for one dwarf, but she spies her long-time ally lying on the ground a distance away. “BRIGHTLANCE!” She casts her bolt through the gloom, this time hoping to not strike anything at all, for interruption will mean Cynthia’s doom.

You may also choose to shackle walls, pillars, and other impassable tiles, rappelling towards them with a buff to MOV, ignoring hazards or enemies in your path.We have a few anti movement effects so this seems like a good way to make them proc.
>>6431039Concept:>Spellchain <Kali> [Runespace: 9, +1 ACC; +3 DMG on Melee spell forms, +1 ACC on Ranged spell forms; whenever you cast a ranged form spell, you may Shackle the last enemy you successfully hit. On your next turn, you may expend your MOV action to pull that enemy towards you, one tile per MOV expended this way (unlike other substitute MOV actions, this consumes Quickstep and similar effects). You cannot move or cast spells while you have an enemy shackled. You may unshackle an enemy at any time as a free action. You may also choose to Shackle a wall, pillar, or other black tile, allowing you to pull yourself towards that tile instead, granting +3 bonus MOV and ignoring all tile hazards you pass through before ending your turn. You cannot shackle an enemy shackled to somebody else, but you may shackle the same wall or pillar.]

Roa whirls backwards to see the monster ripping into the team again, using its horrid gossamer. Plenty of them are in danger, including the new recruits who she hasn’t had the pleasure of meeting yet. Roa casts BRIGHTLANCE at the juvenile spider, aiming to create a loop that returns to her and replenishes her shield. Though she is confident that Wintry and Parsley can handle it, she’s not willing to step away from them without attacking the beast.
