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. Worse than all of this, evidence suggesting collaboration between monsters and abysskin, as well as the intentional mutations of monsters into increasingly more dangerous threats.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/spelldiversPrevious threads: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive.html?searchall=Spelldivers

With this handy device, it’ll be a cinch to pick up shinies without breaking formation and getting yourself killed!”>Skullbuster [You may use an action, spellcasting or otherwise, to make an attack against an enemy with the following stats: [2d5+3, Range: Melee, DMG: 6; if you kill an enemy with this attack, you may immediately loot that enemy]]“Ever caught with your rifle unloaded or with your pants down after casting a particularly taxing spell? If you have, you’ll know how nice it is to have a plan B!”>Quickpick [You may use a MOV action instead of a main action to scavenge or mine]“Get rich quick scheme. Nah, just kidding, your missions still take just as long— but with this bad boy, you can make sure to pocket some coreshards between kills!”MELEE SUPPORT BOX>Magemaile <Dinadan> [HP: 13, MOV: 3, DC: 9; Runespace: 5, 4, 3; ACC +2, PWR: +3; consumes both your Hieroshield and Focus slot. Each spell must use its specific allotted runespace. Incompatible with ranged form sigils. You may expend your MOV action OR your main action to perform a Shoulder Dash, moving 4 tiles in one of the 10 spell trajectories and automatically targeting enemies in your way with an offensive spell you possess, moving them out of your trajectory and continuing your forward movement upon successful hit. After reaching the end of this movement or being stopped by an obstacle or enemy, you must cast the offensive spell you Dashed with. This dash may not use Quickstep stacks. You may only do a cast without dashing using your main action, not your MOV action. No two spells on this focus may have the same Effect sigil. You may not cast the same spell, dashing or otherwise, twice in one turn using this focus’s unique ability.]Born from the desire to do everything one can to help the war effort even at the expense of personal glory, this magemaile allows the caster a wide array of options for any situation.>Spellsword <Nightwatcher> [Runespace: 8,4; spells crafted using the 8 Runespace may only target enemies, while spells using the 4 may only target allies. Gain an additional +1 PWR on the 4 Runespace spell. You may use both one offensive and one defensive spell in a single round at the expense of your movement and casting action. +1 PWR, +3 ACC, +1 MOV; incompatible with ranged form sigils.]A paired sword and dueling cape, fashioned from the corpse of a single monster. Sacrifices the defensive potency and balanced runeweight of the Stargazer for a greater focus on mobility and offense.
>>6453527>Reflectrample [ELEMENT: CRYSTAL] [Runespace: 3; When you cast this spell, make a separate targeting roll against any enemy within your melee range using this spell's typical ACC roll, regardless of whether your focus or this spell is usually capable of targeting at melee range. If successful, record the direct targeted damage dealt by one of that enemy's offensive abilities, up to a maximum of this spell's PWR. Then, cast this spell as dictated by its form and make its main targeting roll as usual, dealing non pwr damage to successfully targeted enemies equal to the damage value recorded by this sigil] This spell disperses a cloud of deceptively sharp reflective crystals around the caster, creating an illusory copy of a foe with brutally real offensive potency. >Shortcutter [Runespace: 2, ACC: +2, PWR: +1; exclusive to Melee form sigils.]Coats the edge of the spell focus with razor sharp, rapidly circulating mana, increasing precision and power in melee spells while causing ranged ones to fizzle and fail. FOCI>Sacrescepter <Crimson Star's Cruelty> [Runespace: 16; whenever you cast a spell with this focus, roll 2d3, gaining that many Folly stacks. You may now have up to 17 folly stacks instead of 13. Whenever you remove folly stacks, you must instead consume a MOV action, and may request Retribution, Protection, or Compensation. Retribution creates a projectile with 2 base damage, 3 base range, and 3d3 base accuracy, with each folly stack spent granting 2 bonus DMG, 1 bonus range, and 1 bonus ACC. Protection grants barrier (NOT additional barrier) equal to the folly stacks removed. Compensation simply stores the Folly removed as Compensation stacks, allowing you to roll a free coreshard deposit upon reaching 13 stacks (then removing all compensation stacks). If the spell you cast does not have "Crimson Star" in the name of one of its sigils, roll an additional 1d3 Folly stacks] A ceremonial staff used in the worship of the Crimson Star, an ancient deity who, despite her title, is not amongst the Lights Above. As tempestuous as she is sadistic, her worship can grant boon and bane alike.>Automantle <Dynastes> [Consumes both your magecloth and focus slot. Runespace: 8, 4. +1 ACC [GOLEM STATS: 10 HP, 4 MOV, 7 DC, +1 PWR]; Can only create 2 spells for you to cast using your 8 Runespace. Your Golem, meanwhile, may only cast one spell allotted to it alone, created using the 4 Runespace assigned to it. Your golem may cast its spell or move using its own action, but requires you to expend your MOV action to move it in addition to casting a spell. If your golem is destroyed, it will respawn in a tile adjacent to you after two turns pass. This golem can fly, ignoring terrain hazards unless otherwise specified. Your golem cannot be healed.]A regal mantle and cape, magically linked to a heavier duty iteration of the Scarab golem model.
>>6453528HIEROSHIELDS>Dragonmaw [DC: 8, MOV: 3, HP: 7; Whenever you cast an ELEMENT: FIRE spell, increase its PWR by 1. If that spell has 3 or more ELEMENT: FIRE sigils, increase its PWR by 2 instead.]A Hieroshield ring crafted with a sliver of dragonash, channeling the powerful latent fire mana into something usable by human mages. >Hieroshield: Integushell [HP: 17, MOV: 3, Shell DC: 10; Whenever you receive an attack, instead of blocking it if the roll is beneath your DC, subtract the attack roll from your Shell DC and gain an amount of Damage Resistance to that attack equal to that value. If your damage resistance is greater than or equal to the damage dealt by an attack, you do not receive any non damage penalties (e.g. elemental stacks, debuffs, on-hit effects) from that attack. If the attack roll exceeds your Shell DC, take the full damage of the attack roll instead.]Modeled after the durable carapaces of the Wroughtbeetles, this Hieroshield actually subtly attracts attacks instead of deflecting them, leading them into its strong points for reliable mitigation instead of outright deflection.MAGECLOTHS>Amponcho [Whenever you successfully apply a lightning stack, add two Charge to this magecloth. You may convert charges into bonus damage or quickstep stacks at a 1:1 ratio, or expend 10 to take an extra casting action. You may gain no more than 5 Charges in a single turn, with all over the limit being automatically converted into Quickstep stacks.] A magecloth that accumulates excess current from the natural inefficiency of spellcasting, storing it as energy to be reused and repurposed. >Endler's Habit [When you have the status Death Knell, increase the PWR of all spells you cast by 2.] [SYNERGY: If the spell is ELEMENT: CTHONIC, increase the PWR of that spell while targeting allies (but not enemies targeted by the same spell) an additional 1, to a total of +3 PWR from this Magecloth.]A religious vestment from a faith long dead, embroidered with sigils and glyphs that give praise to forces beyond human understanding. It grants power, but carries an ominous aura. EFFECTS>Mirrorwalk [ELEMENT: CRYSTAL] [Runespace: 3; Place a mirror down on an adjacent tile, removing the oldest if more than 4 mirrors exist on the battlefield. If on a tile containing a mirror, you may expend one MOV during a MOV action to move to any other tile with a mirror. Spells that pass through mirror tiles may be refracted, changing trajectory on that tile as desired.]There was once thought to be magic in all mirrors, a connection to a world parallel to this one. Though this notion has since been disproven, the concept later became the basis for one of the most fundamental spells in Crystal sorcery.
>>6453529>Ghostgrip [ELEMENT: NECROMANCY] [Runespace: 2, PWR: 1; Does a flat 4 DMG against enemies hit regardless of this spell's PWR. Upon successful hit, the enemy receives a MOV penalty this round equal to this spell's PWR, down to a minimum total MOV of Zero (this may counteract quickstep stacks). While you have this effect cast on an enemy, you are always in range of their attacks. When you target multiple enemies with this spell, distribute a number of MOV maluses between all of them equal to double this spell's PWR, regardless of the number of targets. No individual enemy may receive a penalty greater than this spell's PWR]Projects forth your very soul, wrapping it around your enemy's throat and, with enough power, lifting them into the air. This sigil is often avoided when facing stronger opponents, as enemies may harm you by attacking the spirit directly.>Chromeparry [ELEMENT: STEEL] [Runespace: 2, PWR: 2; deals damage equal to spell PWR upon successful hit. Tally up all damage you took from enemy attacks targeted against you last round (including from ally or self Wyrmbreath), including damage nullified by resistances or absorbed by barriers, but not including overkill from broken Hieroshields. Deal non-pwr bonus damage equal to that sum, up to a maximum of 7.]A synthesis of the offensive and defensive properties of Metalmancy, manifesting a sharp blade with an even sharper riposte. >Bolturbine [ELEMENT: LIGHTNING] [Runespace: 2; On rounds where you would cast this spell, extra quickstep that would normally be lost is instead stored. If this spell, or any other actions taken after movement is completed, would grant Quickstep stacks, they are instead stored. This sigil deals damage equal to the number of tiles you moved this turn before targeting that enemy (including form and focus-based movement, but not including any form of teleportation or any movement done after you target the enemy in question), or the number of Quickstep stacks stored by this sigil, whichever is lower. Quickstep stacks stored for the purposes of Bolturbine cannot be used for movement, but can be reused for another Bolturbine cast. All stored quickstep stacks are depleted at the end of turns where Bolturbine was cast.]Lightning follows your steps, your velocity and kinetic energy being stored as capacitance and unleashed as a tremendous electric shock. FORMS>Garotte: [Runespace: 3, 2d5+2, Range: 4; BEND, PIERCE, loses 1 Range per ally or enemy targeted]An attempt to combine the best points of two of the most fundamental forms in all of spellcraft, gaining the flexibility of a Missile at the cost of Pierce’s target efficiency.
>>6453530>Spitfire [ELEMENT: FIRE] [Runespace: 4, 2d4+2, Range: 3; PIERCE. This spell's last two tiles of range (stopping early if this spell is interrupted by a wall or pillar before reaching maximum range output) also affects the two adjacent tiles perpendicular to the trajectory of the spell.] [SYNERGY: If this spell has Wyrmbreath, deal an additional 2 damage to enemies hit on the last two tiles of this spell's trajectory (but NOT in the spread area)]The caster spews forth a short but potent blast of fire, washing over everything in its wake and fanning outwards at the end of its range. >Voltvolley [Runespace: 2, 3d4, Range: 6; gain an additional PWR on this spell for each [ELEMENT: LIGHTNING] sigil on it. If this spell has 4 or more [ELEMENT: LIGHTNING] sigils, it also gains +1 ACC.] [SYNERGY: if you have the Hieroshield <Elementalist> configured to Lightning, act as if this spell had one additional lightning element sigil]This spell mimics the natural flow of electricity, compressing mana into an uncountable deluge of tiny, weightless particles before sending them outwards in a devastating bolt of magic. As a result of its direct reference point, it synergizes mightily with other sigils that imitate the natural might of lightning.>Nillknight [ELEMENT: NECROMANCY] [Runespace: 2, Range: 3; Upon selecting this spell form, also select one melee spell form of your choice, paying its Runespace cost and appending it to this spell. Instead of targeting an ally or enemy, target a tile. Deploy the Nillknight at that tile, or the last unobstructed tile in this spell's trajectory. Then, the Nillknight will cast this spell using the selected melee form as directed before vanishing. Compatible with Longshot, adding that modifier's ACC to the melee spell. Gain focus benefits from the melee spell even on foci which generally do not allow melee.]A spell form crafted to keep frailer mages safe in the heat of battle, allowing a single caster to serve as both vanguard and ranged firepower.MODIFIERS>Soloist [Runespace: 2, PWR: +5; this spell may only have a single Effect sigil] [Tag: Orchestra. Incompatible with Hone.]A musical modifier that attunes to and strengthens a single effect, but makes it impossible for the spell to support another.
>>6453531Light of the Burning King [ELEMENT: FIRE] [Runespace: 0, PWR: -1, ACC: +2; This spell leaves magelights in its trajectory, but clears all beneficial ally tile effects (including but not limited to spellmines, hazards, and deployables) as well as nullifying the barriers of allies in this spell’s path. For every tile or barrier (regardless of barrier health remaining) cleared this way, this spell deals 1 additional DMG to enemies successfully hit by this spell that would take damage from one or more of its effects. For the purposes of cross-spell compatibility, this is considered a Sinsigil. Incompatible with Wyrmbreath.]“Aw Resplendent was the Burning King, the brightest light below. Now that flame has burnt to nil, save sigil’s borrowed glow.”>Double or Nothing [Runespace: 1; Whenever you cast this spell, you may declare DOUBLE OR NOTHING. If you opt to do so, roll 1d9, casting your spell twice on an odd number and not at all on an even roll] [Tag: Highroller]A Highroller sigil made for true gamblers, allowing the caster to access a potent but highly inconsistent alternate mana pathway, either doubling the output or completely fizzling out. >Smitesalve [Runespace: 2; if this spell has the sigil Hierosmite (not other damaging sigils which share its effect text), it may restore allies’ hieroshields as if it had the Restore sigil]A clever set of tweaks to the Hierosmite sigil, channeling its offensive prowess into restorative ability. Evades the penalty of ramping effect conflicts at the cost of some potency. >Syncope [Runespace: -1] [Tag: Orchestra]Sometimes, silence is beautiful.You have THREE DAYS to complete your loadouts. A beginner friendly list of sigils will be posted soon as a response to the much larger set of options we now possess. Please ask if you have any questions
BALANCING ADDENDUMI updated this in the rentry but realized I didn't properly mention it in the balance patch post>Echocast [Runespace: 3, 2d4+2, Range: 4; When you target an ally or enemy with this spell, instead target them twice, hitting them with the spell's full effect once upon one successful hit, and a second time at 2/3 PWR upon a second, rounding down. However, the effects of this spell's elements (not other Elemental stack sources like envenomate) may only be applied once per target, regardless of the number of hits. Incompatible with Barrage.]

>>6453644Basically everything we say can be ignored, except for whatever Hierophant writes. The banter is just roleplay that has no bearings on the game. Trust me, I forgot most of the stuff I said in the last few months.
>>6453646>>6453648>>6453649Well, that's nice to know, because going through all the rolls and actions and stuff is hard enough.
>>6453611>If a Spellmine has Wyrmbreath, will it trigger if an ally steps on it?Yes, it will>If I cast Barrier with Elegy to the Old Ones while wearing Doomsinger, will the barrier from Doomsinger apply before the barrier from the spell or after?Doomsinger's barrier isn't additional, so it's most comparable to just casting a 6 PWR barrier spell. In other words, if you cast a barrier spell with 20 power, regardless of the priority order, it will override the doomsinger barrier and put you at 20. For things that DO grant additional barrier, such as sigils like Flush Draw, the additional barrier always resolves after the initial barrier cast to maximize total barrier gain

>>6453688Looked it over, and it checks out! The only thing I'd warn you about is that you won't be able to hone and drink a daiquiri in the same turn, since both compete for your MOV action
>>6453690Mmmh, right. I think it might still be useful. In case of another Gloomknight
>>6453690If Ephemeral Step is triggered by a prepared Reactive Spell would you avoid any damage from a successful attack as you move away from the attack/attacker? I haven't seen this interaction happen so far halfway through thread 2, and depending on how this interaction plays out I might need to alter my planned defensive option.
>>6453700(ephem step's effect is stated to happen before casting/effect resolution, so you'd just step immediately on casting just as normal even on a reactive/chambered spell.)
>>6453700For matters of reactive and chambered (including ultorishawl), Ephemeral resolves after the spell is proced but before other all other effects
>>6453707(oh.)
>>6453707So an Ultorishawl (+1 Power from Reactive) with the spell Barrier(+3 Power)/Ephemeral Step/Elegy to the Old Ones(+2 Power from targeting self due to Cthonic element) would have the following effect on a successful enemy attack hitting me:- The spell activates due to it's Reactive nature, increasing my DC by 2 and lowering the incoming damage since my DC is now higher.- I take a move action due to Ephemeral Step activating first.- Barrier activates after the move with a power of 6, blocking some or all incoming damage.Did I get that right?
>>6453730DC makes you harder to hit (attack rolls are checked against it), it's different from Damage Resistance that makes the hits you do take deal less damage. Also, Ephemeral is a teleportation effect and not movement, which sounes pedantic but does actually matter for things like hazards and effects like Bolturbine
>>6453739OP, you should update the Elegy to the Old Ones on rentry. It still have PWR +3 there.
>>6453437Did some build reviewing and realized that I Hallucinated Two Power into Sapping Constellation last mission. Apologies
>>6453739I assume an increase in DC after the fact won't stop a successful attack from hitting you then, even if it would make the attack miss?Probably the more important question that needs answering is if the reactive Barrier would activate before or after I die from being hit.
>>6453748The DC bonus is live WHILE the reactive spell is prepared but BEFORE it procs, so it may save you from being killedBARRIER goes up AFTER you receive an attack, successful or otherwise, and will not save you from an attack that would one-shot you but may save you from succumbing to multiple attacks
>>6453745Oo, nice catch. Updated.
>>6453437While I deliberate about Cynthia's new build, here's an updated character sheet with a few new faces. In the near future, I'll also post a fun thing that should be useful for new recruits (hopefully tomorrow).

As the Dawnseekers drag themselves out of the Silverharp in various states of drunkeness, one singular shooting star can be seen passing over their guild hall. A beautiful sight on most starlit nights, though this proves to be different affair as the star itself, instead of disappearing in the night, crashes diretcly through the roof of the guild hall with a loud bang. Those sober enough scramble to make it back with speed, while those not so sober do their uttmost to not collapse in the nearest gutter.Arriving at the guild hall, now with a freshly installed skylight, you hear a terrible ruckus from within the Spell Armoury. Green lightning flickers unsteadily underneath the door for a moment as a slightly charred and smoking Kudryavka emerges seconds after with a diminutive green creature that sparkles with electrical discharge. She holds it upside down at arms length, a tiny jester's hat firmly ignoring gravity on it's head as the being slowly sways back and forth, the little bells on the end of the hat jingling slightly as it does so. In it's hand is a small Foci, a wand from the armoury that pulses with the same electrical power it does.As it slowly spins around to observe whomever made themselves present, a small smile appears on the creature's face. It lets out a single, soft cry:"Poyo!">>6453437Name: Poyo(?)CASTING FOCI:- Wand <Shardcandle> [Runespace: 9, +1 ACC, +2 PWR.

>>6453882Awesome concept! Reminder that you can use Elementalist for elements the Dawnseekers have ANY sigil for, not just the ones you can't yet Imbue, including lightning >>6453803Awesome work! Saved, and hopefully I'll remember to link to it at the beginning of the mission
>>6453884Oh, syncope and Soloist are incompatible with each other, as both are Orchestra sigils
>>6453882Error: You can't use Soloist and Syncope at the same time. Imbue Mist also doesn't exist.Recommendation: Just remove Imbue Mist and Syncope, it'll keep your RS same without affecting the stats of Surge Protection.You CAN assign Elementalist (Lightning), since Elementalist only cares if we have a sigil of that type, not the Imbue of that type. So you can replace one of your Lightning effects on Galvanic Surge with something else if you want.

We'll alter that then.>>6453886>>6453887Likewise it doesn't say on the pastebin that Syncope and Soloist are mutual exclusive. As it specifically states on other Orchestra tagged modifiers that they can't be used with others of the same type, I assumed you could take both of those together.

>>6453984I suppose, but it's nice to hear what people have to say nonetheless. I didn't really read every single roll and action. I don't have the "experience" of seeing what actually works or doesn't in practice, or if something is sorely lacking.

>>6454086Neat! Any ideas for what you want your character to look like? It's fine if you don't, I'd just have to improvise a little
>>6454086>If you alcherune nigredo and wyrmbreath do you turn other players to coreshards on friendly fire? asking for a friendUnfortunately not.
Okay, I've got some time and I've got some ideas for the character, I can choose any of the options in >>6453527 right? Equipment wise...
>>6454180Those are everything we got from the shop. Use those, everything in the OP rentry link, and asking questions here for buildcrafting. Have fun and don't spellcraft during work, that'll get you into some trouble, hehe.
>>6454181Well, I've got some questions>SacrescepterI'm assuming we just don't have any crimson star sigils and thus would always gain additional folly stacks>Dealer's WhimBy ".1x", is it supposed to be 1.1x, or 0.1X? Unless I've fairly certain the latter would put any spell with less than a hundred damage to a single digit number. >SyncopeIs this just...a freebie? Free additional runespace?>SmogvisorI'm going to guess that the malus doesn't do anything to "melee range"
>>6454199Yea, you'd be rolling 3d3 on the Sceptre. Dealer's Whim is d14. So a 11 result is 1.1x multiplier while a 2 result is a 0.2 multiplier. A 1 gets a 1.5x multiplier (Aces High).Syncope is a freebie but also opportunity cost of not taking any of the other Orchestra tagged modifiers.Smogvisor has no effect on 1 RNG melee (you can still hit the guy). Flashstep form has RNG though, so that'd be affected. Not sure if it messes up Fangbreaker's extra RNG though, but probably.
>>6454200I see...about the Integushell, also, I don't quite understand, do you just always take damage with it?
>>6454201Yep (unless the enemys attack rolls really low)
>>6454206I see. I'm starting to think of an idea...during a necromancy last stand state, are you capable of healing yourself with Shello-Shot? And, if you were to go below zero HP due to burning folly at the same turn you cast a necromancy spell, how would that work?
>>6454207You may not heal yourself in any way while in Last Stand. Even if you're eligible for Necromancy, you'd still be immediately evacuated by Folly's effect
>>6454213Sceptre's description says broken *at the end of the turn*, and it uses a MOV action, so shouldn't you be able to heal in the same turn you remove it?
>>6454214You can heal the damage, but Folly is still looming over you even if you do so as more of a status effect. If you heal back to full, then get hit with a powerful attack and still wind up with your hieroshield broken, you still get evacuated
>>6454215I mean...that's always the case, isn't it? If you can heal in the same turn you folly, that's what matters. I feel like making a sceptre build could be fun given no one else has ever used it.I'm also going to guess you can't get around Last Stand by using a Nillknight.
>>6454216You may not. The nillknight is still ultimately a part of your spell. Golemductors also do not bypass Last Stand
>>6454217Yeah, yeah, I get it. I do hate that I'm asking so many questions, but just one last for the moment, I don't really get how effects stack - there are multiple effects that have a base PWR rating, and there doesn't seem to be anything stopping you from taking multiple of them. So do they stack? Does a 5 PWR and a 2 PWR spell have 7 PWR?
>>6454218PWR boosts stack. So if you pick Purify, Envenomate and Hierosmite, your spell would have 6 PWR. The only thing that doesn't stack is the 'this spell does damage equal to PWR'. You can't pick two damaging effects (Voltsphere and Hierosmite) and deal damage two times. But you can still pick Voltsphere and Hierosmite to get 4 PWR.
>>6454219I see. I think I have an idea for my spellset; please correct me if I'm wrong.>Spell #1 "Fuck You Die" SpellWyrmbreath + Nigredo + Something Non-Elemental + Barrage = Big damage that doesn't get cucked by single elemental immunity>Spell #2 "Fuck You I won't Die" SpellRestore + Wreathe + Soloist = Full Heal on Most HieroshieldsThe idea being that you spam the first spell over and over and over and over until you get too much folly, then cast it and full heal yourself on the same turn. Does it work, or am I missing something?
>>6454223I say it should probably work, as long as you keep in mind that Barrage won't apply Nigredo's onyx stacks multiple times, since it's a non PWR based effect. But you would be doing some decent damage. Onyx Fire is a pretty strong effect so it never hurts to apply it.As long as you pick a tanky Hieroshield so you can actually remove Folly stacks without needing to be healed all the time (Bulwark or Integushell would be your best bets), it should be good to go.

Welp. Good.
>>6454230>someone decided to take the idea firstYou can still run whatever you wanted to run, man. I will clarify we don't really have damage immunity, per se, the enemies we have come across just resist certain damage types. (At least from what we have seen so far)So if an enemy takes -2 DMG from Fire spells, and +3 DMG from Necromancy, a spell with Nigredo would deal +1 DMG to them.
>>6454231>You can still run whatever you wanted to run, man. Yeah, well, it's not really a nice feeling when you're talking about your idea and someone suddenly changes their entire build to be exactly that.
>>6454232...I genuinely don't think Parsley did to slight you or something. He's the one who picked the staff last mission, of course he was going to use it in his next build. And to get the most advantage out of it, you'd want some sort of barrier or self heal.
>>6454234Well, it's not like I want to be the guy who says that, but when you're talking about making a sacrescepter wyrmbreath two-spell combo and then the next post is exactly that, what exactly are you supposed to feel? It might be autistic, but now I have to go back to the drawing board unless i want to be the exact same as an already existing character from thread one.
>>6454235I can assure you Parsley wasn't basing his thing off yours. He's been kicking around sacrescepter ideas for the last few days and Wyrmbreath is just the most pwr efficient damaging sigil. It's more like how stuff keeps evolving into crabs than intentional plagiarism
>>6454237Well, first come first served, so it's his idea and I'm not going to try to copy him, so back to the drawing board it is

>>6454307The third spell effect have +2 runespace penalty, so "Restore" have 9 RS and "Deathlaser" have 6 RS total."Restore" is a target spell used in allies, so malus from cthonic element, resulting in a 9 PWR spell.I recommend taking Hierosmite from "Deathlaser".
>>6454322Then I'll just remove Imbue Earth. The Elegy thing is on purpose.
>>6454329>>6454329For the death laser, I'd recommend trading out Hierosmite for Dawnforce. You'd get a similar power total without having to worry about the ramping effect cost. That cuts your spell down to 3 runespace, which gives you enough room to tack on Double or Nothing, Trickshot, or Scuttle, all of which are pretty useful
>>6454346Oops, miscalculated, you'd need to run dawnforce and blunt.
>>6454346I miscalculated, I only had one Runespace left. By taking out Hierosmite, it'd be R3, so I wouldn't be able to take Dawn Force in the first place. Which does leave one of the effects you mentioned.Regardless, I will be writing the actual character when I can.
>>6454020Poyo waves frantically to the new friend, a very big lady with a pointy hat, that had suddenly appeared through the doorway. Maybe she'll let him sit on her shoulders if she's really nice! From up there he could see so many thi—A panicked shriek erupts from the strange lady as she drops her bizzare stick due to the sheer terror that overwhelms her. It shatters into a million fragments as it strikes the ground, the hat lady trembling in fear as she screams something incomprehensible in horror before quickly evacuating the scene the way that she came.Poyo hurriedly runs after her, doing his best not to step on any of the shard fragments from the strange stick, and peeks out around the door frame of the open front door. He watches the rapdily disappearing shadow of the hat lady with a mixture of worry and confusion."Poyo…?" Comes a confused and dejected little exclamation. He shivers slightly from the cold breeze that blows through the door and quickly decides to head back inside.The slivers of the strange stick lay splayed across the floor, glinting gently in the soft candlelight. Poyo sits down next to one of the bigger shards and pulls it closer, observing himself in it's reflective surface. Maybe the hat lady was sad because her stick broke so suddenly?His stomach grumbles loudly, and Poyo frowns in displeasure as he stands up and wanders away from the former stick in search of something to eat. Eventually, after wandering around aimlessly in the guild hall for a while, he manages to find the modestly stocked pantry. A delightful smell emenates from within, and Poyo, despite his admittedly tiny stature, manages to scale the insides of the cupboard with ease to reach the vaunted item. Displayed underneath a crystal dome is a large plate of various types of cheeses. He gleefully knocked the dome over in order to reach the treasures within."Poyo!" he cries out in excitement as he indulges himself in the large assortment of dairy products before him.

Helplessly hungry. Harmful? Mayhap..."Fishing a wedge of cheese from the dark recesses of her robes, the witch places the morsel in question between her and the still-scarfing snackaholic before retreating a few paces away and dropping into a hunched crouch.A fresh scroll and quill find their way into the witch's gloved hands. Another curiosity to catalog, she thinks, eye glowing with catlike excitement. This day had not been unpleasant, that's for certain. and the potential research opportunities flowed like an overturned jar of hot honey... she had already squirreled away a hunk of beetle chitin from the mission to her guild quarters, but that could wait.This, she thought to herself as she tapped her chin with her quill, could NOT.
>>6454476The little green puffball was overjoyed at the rich tastes of unguarded pantry, the cheesy aroma hanging heavy after he had removed the protective dome and devoured it's way through the Gouda, the Cheddar, Brie and Mozzarella (names it didn't know but whose flavours was thoroughly enjoyed) with overwhelming speed. Before him remained the pièce de résistance of the cheese platter, a large wedge of richly aged Parmesan. He drooled slightly at the sight, staring starry-eyed at the great lump of cheese in front of him. He was just about to take a bite when another scent intruded on him. He swiveled around to identify the new arrival.There, on the floor. A piece of cheese that must've fallen out of the pantry during his rampage! He stepped over to the ledge of the shelf, leaning over it slightly to try and get a better look at it. The Bog-Witch's presence lingered at the edge of his vision, but was ignored in favour of the new foodstuff. It was so far down though...Poyo mustered his might and began inhaling with all of his strength. A small whirlwind stirred up and attempted to bring the cheese with it to his waiting maw. The cheese was unimpressed by his efforts. He exerted himself more, the increased suction power causing the hanging lantern nearby to sway precariously in the turbulence, and the Bog-Witch to lose her grip on her scroll and quill as they were helplessly sucked into the void. In a stubborn showing of usless defiance, the cheese tried it's best to not give way, before slowly, and then very suddenly, abandoning the constrictions of gravity, colliding very softly (as cheese does) against the face of the awaiting Poyo. He slid back slightly at the impact, the cheese balancing precariously on the egde for a moment before accepting it's fate and stabilizing itself neatly on the shelf."Poyo." He exclaimed, satisifed at his work as he set about consuming his new catch of dairy.
>>6454181>Have fun and don't spellcraft during workDisregard this advice, spellcraft infront of your boss to establish dominance.>>6454470I'm putting together an absolutely deranged W.I.P build but I need some clarification to make sure I'm not just being insane for no reason.Does Quickstep interact at all with Flashstep's movement? Quickstep says it increases the range of the targets next movement, and Flashstep says the user moves a number of tiles equal to this spells range (Keyword here: Moves). Say I have a spell that incorporates both and I spend my movement action using the Quickpick to mine or scavange, would I gain extra movement on my Flashstep's form move if I cast my offensive spell since it technically incorporates a movement action in it's cast?I'm leaning towards a definitive 'No' since I'm basically doing a lot of rules lawyering here, but I just wanted to make sure.Similarly, Flashstep targets all enemies you pass through on cast. Is it then possible for you to attack the same enemy multiple times by passing through their tile more than once? With the base range of 3 you're incapable of this because you would end your turn on an enemy tile, but with Longshot increasing the range to 5 or 7 you have the option to curve back and forth through the same tile multiple times.Oh yes, and is Flashstep compatible with weapons that aren't capable of equipping ranged sigils since it counts as a melee attack despite it's range? This is a very important question since the Foci I intend to use here is incompatible with ranged sigils.
As the day carried on like any other, those still in the main room of the silverharp tavern would begin to faintly hear a growing sound, a faint music in the air, growing louder and louder by the minute, until at last it is behind that very door. And then, it bursts open, a large, comically muscular man bursting in as if to almost rip the door off the hinges. The man in question, standing on the tavern floor, is a sight most bizarre, a goliath tall enough to almost reach the entryway's roof, a deep azure cape hanging towards the floor from an intricate blue and golden neckpiece - and above it, an intricately carved mask, depicting a flawless face more like a statue than a man. Gold, wavy hair almost as long as the cape falling from behind itAnd then, in a split second, the man enters a dramatic pose, pointing towards those staring at him. The choir somehow continues, coming not from him, but from the very air around him in what could be either magic or an choir of invisible dwarfs hiding out of sight. "My fellows!" he says, with a much deep and theatric voice."My companions!" he repeats."I arrive at last to CURSE you with my presence...I am certain you ask yourselves now, what hath brought such a VILE and DISGUSTING man to these hallowed halls...then very well! Although it HURTS me so...I shall tell you this story you so desperately wish to know..."In a moment, he suddenly snaps into a spear throwing pose."I am but a man of HUMBLE origins...born in a DISTANT DESERT LAND to POOR SAND FARMERS. DISFIGURED and HIDEOUS from birth as I am now, I was given a mask to hide my REPULSIVE FACE. Yet despite my grotesqueness...I was happy!" he proclaims, before snapping into another pose. His skin, only slightly less pale than someone who might get sunburnt in the moonlight, shines inexplicably."But alas! What horrible FATE! What horrible FUTURE! My humble village was attacked by beastly creatures of the nocturne dark..struck by an attack we did not expect! The HARSH SUN that once protected us had FAILED! And yet...in my COWARDICE...I ran! I ran from my home, like a TRAITOROUS FOOL, leaving mine kin behind to PERISH...I ran for hours, until I at last found a sizeable DUNE I could hide in! Throughout the NIGHT, I heard the sound of beastly gunfire...and the animalistic dying screams of my VILLAGE! When the day came at last, and all was silenced except the sounds of the monsters working and talking, I dared not return and see the massacre which lay. I decided, THEN, that although I could never repay my IMMENSE DEBT of EVIL and CRAVENNESS, I could follow my PENITENCE...by JOINING these WILD VENTURES THROUGH THE DEPTHS OF THE EARTH."
He finishes, with a flair of his arm, and another pose. A single tear falls from behind his golden mask and bright blue eyes. "THAT Is mine STORY...I am CERTAIN NOW, That you see what HORRID deeds I have done. If it is a NAME you need to know, so that you may curse and jeer, then PTOLEMY is what you may call me!" he declares, his arms spread open, with a finishing flair."And also, I need to know if this town has any place that will sell Aged Springrose Extract Oil for the hair.

>>6454570>Does Quickstep interact at all with Flashstep's movement? Quickstep says it increases the range of the targets next movement, and Flashstep says the user moves a number of tiles equal to this spells range (Keyword here: Moves)Unless explicitly stated otherwise, movement from spell effects does not consume quickstep, including Flashstep and Bullrush>Similarly, Flashstep targets all enemies you pass through on cast. Is it then possible for you to attack the same enemy multiple times by passing through their tile more than once?No, you can think about it kind of like a piercing spell. You target any given number of enemies on that trajectory exactly once, with the potential exception of Arcing>Oh yes, and is Flashstep compatible with weapons that aren't capable of equipping ranged sigils since it counts as a melee attack despite it's range? This is a very important question since the Foci I intend to use here is incompatible with ranged sigils.Yes, it is a melee sigil. Compatible with swords, incompatible with guns

>>6454553The witch's hands linger in the air for a moment after her writing implements vanished into the newcomer's massive mouth."Ah." She mutters, finally catching up to the situation with the speed of a sloth, "Different from the Ice Construct, then." Brushing the dust from her robed knees, the girl rises to a standing hunch as she watches the hungry orb feast from afar. "So small, yet so swinish," She remarks, tapping a gloved finger against her chin in a ponderous manner, "But where does it all go, we wonder..." Retrieving a broomstick from the pantry's corner, the witch gently pokes the creature's side as if the gesture could give her her answers. Was this ravenous wanderer synthetic like so many other recent recruits? Or something more? If only she could obtain some kind of sample to study...>>6454612"Hair fare for fair hair?

Poyo's dream flew too close to the sun, and the QM smote him for his hubris. The deranged build can still be salvaged though, it will just look a little different.>>6454722Poyo's attempts to devour his fifth type of dairy today (an entirely new type to cheese science as it happens, one that would surely receive the moniker 'Bog-Witch Blue Cheese' if any cheese scientist were present) was rudely interrupted by the strange, smelly woman and her powerful broomstick. Time and again he would reach for the cheese only for the menacing poke instrument to get in his way.Once. He tried to ignore it, reaching out and taking a small piece of the cheese in his hand. Twice. The broom knocked the cheese out of his hands just as he was about to gobble it up. He reached out to grab it again.Thrice. The next poke caught him unawares as he was grabbing for the lost cheese, knocking him off balance and causing him to roll over on his side.Fourth. He had tried to stand up, but was unsucessful as another gentle poke caused him to trip and fall flat on his little face.On the fifth poke he caught the intruding object between his tiny arms. Static built up around the end of the broomhandle as his teeny jester hat began to flutter as the electrical power built to dangerous levels."POYO!" He cried in annoyance as the sparks began flowing downwards towards the harasser. The wooden handle cracked from the elemental force as it did so, before the surge of lightning reached and rolled over the Bog-Witch herself. The distinct smell of slightly charred swamp hag rose from the woman, together with a small black smoke cloud. The spell hadn't been powerful enough to do any serious damage, but it had singed her clothes something awful and left her hair in a dangerous mess. Some remaining static discharge rolled visibly between a few unfortunate strands of hair as the broom dropped out of her hands.Satisfied by this territorial display of power, Poyo sat down again next to his cheesy conquest, his feet dangling happily over the edge as he continued to indulge in all the goodies the pantry provided.

Jorogumo hums pleasantly and softly to herself (somehow in the accent of the distant colonial state of Jorgia across the sea) as she drags the heaving bulk of Parsley behind her with all the ease and carelessness of carrying about a child's doll. No one else would intervene otherwise, so why not her? Haha...
During the liquor-fueled festivities in the Silverharp, some may have noticed Cynthia ruminating alone in the corner over a colorful martini. Her morose mood could be blamed on the vote, which robbed her the opportunity of finally experiencing flight firsthand, but astute observers would see that she was reading and rereading a particular letter.Thankfully, the startling introductions of the new recruits take her eyes of the page. Through the gleam of her slightly drunken eyes, she attends Ptolmey's speech with baffled fascination, deep incredulity, and an annoying inability to keep her wandering eyes from admiring his musculature. If she was any more drunk, she'd probably be blushing.The descent of the verdant vesper was equally thrilling. Like a child studying an insect, for much of the night she could be seen peering down wide-eyed on the strange "Poyo" speaker, and she made sure to witness the ruckus of its cheesy feast from around the corner of the door frame. This adorable alien creature removed all thoughts of her mother from her mind, which was truly a blessing....Meanwhile, in a dimly-lit office, tucked within a manor that overlooks the Capital on a nearby hill, a man dressed as a courier is ushered in by a household servant. He closes the door and addresses a standing figure, whose back is turned, looking out the window into the pale and frigid evening air. “Lady Cloudsley! Thank you dearly for receiving me at this late hour. I was, ahem, unfortunately delayed, so much so that I haven’t had the chance to change into my usual attire. Hopefully this can serve as recompense.” The man pulls a thick file out from his sidebag. “I successfully delivered your letter, and as promised, I have here a collection of profiles with details on each of the ‘Dawnseekers,’ the name that Cynthia’s new 'friends' are calling themselves. A fascinating array of personalities. Frankly, the rapidity of their progress over the past few months has been astounding for an upstart group. I wouldn’t be surprised if even the Hierophants are keeping a close eye on them.”“Hmm!” The woman grunts, only slightly turning her head. “And how exactly is this supposed to ensure my daughter’s safe and timely return?” The man bites his tongue. “Ah, well… there are a few leads that come to mind. Plenty of the details we turned up about her ‘friends’ ought to be enough to thoroughly spook her. Besides that, there might be some political connections we can leverage. It’s all rather inconclusive though.” His words hang in the air, and a tense silence fills the room. The man senses the temperature drop by a few degrees, but blames it on his imagination. He clears his throat. "The safety of your daughter is our highest priority. If you have any questions or concerns about these files, you know how to contact me. Good night, my lady."The man steps out of the room, leaving the folder of profiles open on the desk, ready to be examined...

I do not think it would suit your uses, for they are both highly flammable, ahh he he he."Lansa holds out a hand in solidarity."Ahh, but where are my manners?

>Builds now closed! Players who did not participate last mission, new or returning, may submit builds and hop in as late as deployment. Existing players who have yet to submit a build may still return using their previous one, as well as a Philtreliquor and Spellpick of choice. Ophelia has been granted a special exemption due to IRL circumstances, and as such may also post her build as late as mission deployment. You assemble in the meeting room to find Kudryavka already there, albeit entirely unconscious. Her face is pressed against the meeting room table, her body contorted to fully maximize the touch of the sun on her skin. Her ears twitch as you all murmur and sift through the papers laid out for you in advance, turning to face any particularly loud noises seemingly on physiological instinct. With a groggy grumble, the good doctor eventually rises to meet you all, slamming down the remaining half of her now room temperature mug of coffee before rising to address you all.“You guys have done a great job,” she praises you with a weary smile, rubbing the drool off of her face with her sleeve, “Almost too good! So many research materials— I barely had time to sleep… Oh, and the spellpicks! How are you liking them? I couldn’t get an in with the distribution of the official ones since Carnelian’s been hoarding their stuff internally, so knockoffs will have to do.”Despite her slight self-deprecation, you find the new equipment perfectly functional. You wonder whether the Carnelian forges really do produce better stuff, or if Kudryavka’s just being needlessly critical of her own work.“Anyway, I can make new spellpicks, but it’ll require some materials. Uh, sorry in advance.”Instead of being purchased conventionally, a Spellpick may, once per mission, be taken in lieu of the presented rewards. All reward rolls where Spellpicks are an eligible option will have this fact explicated.“Anyway, new missions! I know a lot of you are eager to get your hands on Magnimagicks— and, rightfully so, they have incredible power— I wouldn’t mind it if you… you know, played it safe. For a bit I mean.”Her gaze falls down, lingering on something in her notes before she shakes her head briskly, as if trying to shake a thought out of it. “Nevermind. You guys know what you’re doing. Oh, one more thing— you probably notice a lot of people absent this time around, yeah? Well, some of them are just out permanently, but a lot of people have been offered work in a little project the Dawnstone guild has been working on. Don’t worry about it too much, it isn’t a permanent commitment.”She nods, eyes unevenly blinking as she vaguely gestures for you all to look through the offered mission briefs.

THUMP. THUMP. THUMP. The heavy footsteps of someone VERY irritated can be heard getting closer and closer. It is obvious who those footsteps belong to, at least, to those who had to endure this miniature tyrant's presence for the last few days. Or is it weeks? Time is such an immaterial concept in a place like this. A certain gas mask-wearing soldier marches into the room, forcefully pushing away anyone standing in her way.She has to resist the urge to climb onto the table, both to tower and loom over her 'comrades' while also making herself more visible for her upcoming speech. Upon seeing that the cat was practically drooling on the damn table, contempt flooded the soldier's body. She would not use such a platform, tainted by the spittle of a feline. So, instead, she finds a chair to climb upon. Not quite as good as a table, but she has to make due with what her twisted sense of pride will allow her to do."We must seek glory at any cost, my fellow comrades," she begins speaking in a faux-inspirational tone. "is that not what drives you lot? I certainly know it is what drives me. To conquer the world. To grind it underneath my boot. To forever remind those of what their place in the world is. If there was a perfected, iridescent image of the future, it would be a picture of a boot. Stomping on the face of an Abysskin. Forever.">>6455146>A Gilkalor has breached the surface! Worse still, its shed scales seem to be warping into Drakelings, a behavior usually only exhibited in higher class dragons. Something unusual is afoot. [PRESTIGE MISSION. Increased difficulty. ++REP with the general public. Surface mission— no Coreshard deposits.

To spread the word far and wide that nothing, and I do mean NOTHING, can stop us."
>>6454611>>6454612Conquest's gaze locks onto the first new figure."What a loud, boisterous cretin you are. One who speaks of horrors that I have surely seen worse of." The two green dots behind the gas mask's lens, which you can only assume are her eyes, narrow. "Ptolemy, is it so? You have a certain way with words. A certain...cadence, that I could see use of. Even if I have not seen your effectiveness in combat.""To betray your kin is a noble act in of itself. You can grow beyond what you once were, with the right...pressures." She nods sagely, as if what she said made any sense to anyone but herself. "May you reach your sanctification through the glorious sacrifice of flesh.">>6453882Then there was the second figure.The soldier has never seen anything like it before. She has no idea how to even respond to such an entity existing in the same place as hers. Bright green. Spherical. It resembles more a piece of unripen fruit than anything she could even describe as a 'comrade'. She hastily adjusts her gas mask, as if she's afraid that the entity would release a noxious miasma that would liquify her bones."Is that...is that thing even alive? Can it breathe? What a bizarre entity. Anyone with an academic history, I must request this of you: can you obtain this creature's cranial measurements? I must study it for science."

A slight jingle fills the meeting room as the Dawnseekers wait for their resident paper pusher to wake from her slumber and brief them on the topics of this meeting . It was Poyo moving back and forth underneath the table, trying to find a way for him to climb up so he could partake in the briefing proper. Alas, the table was tall and it's legs without grip, which made his attempts to climb them futile. He slid down the table leg for a third time, the bells jingling a little extra as he bumps into the floor with a sad little thud."Poyo..." He lets out a small dejected sigh as he flops backwards in defeat, eyes closed in severe dejection. When he opens his eyes again a moment later, he sees a figure >>6455154 wearing steel tipped boots and a long, sandy coloured trenchcoat march into the room. After delivering a rather overblown speech, considering the present company, she steps down from the chair she had occupied for aura and walked up to the table to deliver the final parts of her spiel to the assembled. By that time, Poyo was on his feet again and actively buzzing around her boots.When she stops next to the table, and the likelyhood of being squashed is lowered, he strikes! Boarding her left shoe and using the fabric of the coat he quickly clambers upward along the leg of the soldier, before making a heroic leap across the small gap between her and the table. He skids over a few of the papers before coming to a halt on the table's polished surface."Poyo!" He declares in triumph over the furniture as he beigins to scamper around the paperwork with great speed. One of the mission briefs catches his eye, mostly due to the very fetching artist interpretation of the wingless beast, mid leap towards a group of helpess prey. He begins frantically waving and pointing at the picture in excitement in an attempt at drawing more of the Dawnseekers attention to it.>>6455146>A Gilkalor has breached the surface!

>>6454879>>6455153>>6455254>RIGHT AFTER CONQUEST ACTS (hehe)Ever-smiling and ever-present, Jorogumo steps in, crosses the stage in two strides, and, with her magnificent foot, shatters the leg of the chair Conquest is standing upon into millions of splinters. It all happens so fast. A single action so swift and smooth, it's crazy."Well, you know what they say: death kicks down both the hovels of the poor and the towers of queens alike," Joro says, turning calmly to the others assembled as if reciting a familiar joke to help break the ice. But as a matter of fact, she's very clearly showing herself off, wagging her finger like a metronome. Her closed-eye gaze set in a now doll-like face lingers on Poyo for a moment too long before she continues cheerfully. "Ah, where are my manners? I'm terribly sorry for being late, everyone," she says, histrionically. "I had just received a darling gift from my nieces in the Great House" — she pats the two horns of her new hat — "and then there was this cute little white dog hanging around just outside of the guild. Why, I absolutely just had to make time to play with him! Round and round I chased him but alas, I could hardly catch up. Ahhhh, so little time to break, so little time to let these little urges shake~"Joro hums to herself while wagging her finger to keep time, then kneels down and gets onto her hands, and speaks lowly for the fallen soldier to hear with the same pleasant expression:>>6451665"Come on, little rodent, won't you speak?""You try and try to be greater yet, but the harder we rise, the harder you fall. Don't let your pride break while our tale of Hell is still making cr@wl." "You'll try and try to get closer yet to satisfy the beast inside your head, but no matter which path it takes you it won't stop till its fed or dead.">>6453588"Come along, little horseman, ride unto dawn. Don't keep us waiting, don't stall too long, just hurry on! You can't afford the time you're wasting. You're wasting away, in wastrel's decay... So make your move. Show you've got something to prove. Show me, show me that which we cannot be. Can't you see? I need you to set yourself free for *me.*" Joro lunges for the Conquest's mask in a blink of an eye then stops just an inch away. Her smile has hardly budged but her eye has opened just enough to let out the faintest sliver of gold. Then it's gone. Joro's hand very slowly retracts and she taps on her own mask."But since when have I ever had a say? You're here to stay, clearly not one to just go away. Run on, little rat, and go scurry up the wall. I've always hated boorish military types like you. And... Just between the two of us, us masked monsters playing pretend, you can hardly be called a woman and you will *never* be called a God." After relieving her pent-up ire in an extremely (self) amusing manner, Joro huffs, stands up, and claps her hands."Alright everyone, let's go monster hunting!"

Extraordinary reward.]>>6455254>>6455415>>6455385Even with fewer faces in the room, the mayhem that's naturally produced by the Dawnseekers is not lessened, but such antics that ordinarily would annoy her manage this time to crack a smirk out of Cynthia. "That's quite a good way to undermine her point, Madam Joro. I reckon though that this may be out last chance to hunt this beast, and I've always found hunting to be good fun. The Gilkalor takes my vote. (I'm sure we'll be fine, Dr. Kudryavka)."With that said, Cynthia turns to ponder the melon-like creature dwelling among the scattered pages, pulling out from her coat pocket a black magnifying glass that she 'borrowed' from her father's study many years ago. "Hmm.. I can't seem to find any 'slits', Alaryck. Perhaps Joro has lungs like that... you wouldn't let me check, would you Joro?" she asks coyly, half-joking, and mentally noting that Joro seems more amiable than usual.

>>6455415In between bouts of excited gesturing, Poyo notices the strange hat lady with her new strange hat staring at him. For a moment his focus is shifted from the fetching illustrations on the table towards her new, porcelain-like face."HAIII!" He blurts out while waving excitedly towards the hat lady, her gaze lingering just a little too long on him before it passes onwards to the coatwearing soldier that now occupied the floor.A sunbeam intruded on his face, both unnanounced and uninvited. Poyo squinted and brought his little arms up to protect his eyes from the wandering beam. It's origin was a strange looking lollipop held out by another one of the assembled crew, >>6455459 a stern looking woman accompanied by a flying ice bug. She swayed the lollipop back and forth as she towered over him. Poyo waited until she brought it in close, at which point he leapt up and encased the whole of the magnifying glass within his mouth. It didn't taste very good he thought as he dangled from the handle.>>6455147Here's a transparent sprite for use on the map.
>>6454722"I shall TEST OUT your PRODUCT, GREEN WOMAN." In but a moment, the muscled man takes the yellowed flask, removing the cork, and in a move that might have been easily avoided had one taken note of his behavior, pouring the full contents of the bottle on his hair on that very same tavern room, making no effort to scrub or otherwise spread the contents. All the same, in moments, his hair begins to flow yet again, as if carried by some unseen breeze, and he moves into a disk-throwing pose."It is....FUNCTIONAL!">>6455133"I do not KNOW what an IREQQEN is, BANDAGE MAN. For I have NEVER GAZED upon a MAP."As the mage extends his hands, however, the man stands for a moment, as if confused, before extending his hand in kind. Rather than a simple shake, however, he extends his hands upwards - and then further upwards, lifting the man off the ground before swinging him over his head and back into his feet in the ground. Ptolemy claps."I know NOT why you would WISH to do such a THING, but IT IS MY DUTY to AID.">>6455154"If it is my ABILITIES that you QUESTION, MASK-MAN. Then KNOW that they are UNWORTHY. For no SKILL is WORTH..." he declares, hand dramatically covering his face as he kneels.

Whilst people are still filing into the meeting room, he's earmarked his mission of preference with no hesitation and gone straight to snoozing on the table, drooling and snoring with zero decorum. Hopefully he isn't disrupting any grand speeches or heartfelt introductions.

>>6455254"HEY, YOU LITTLE CRET-" The thing was far faster than anything the soldier had to deal with before. All she can do is huff with indignant rage as she spots the Poyo standing on top of the table. One hand almost reaches for the rifle hanging off of her back, but she remembers it'd be a waste of ammo."You could've asked to be picked up, instead of assaulting an officer of a higher rank than you." Conquest tries her best to save face, as if she was still a major of an army instead of just another rank and file grunt. "Feh.">>6455415Before she can even think about continuing her speech, the chair she was standing up is broken. The barely visible icemoth veil wrapped around her shoulder, in some poor man's attempt of an armband, flutters as Conquest is sent falling to the floor. She manages to brace for impact, only kneeling for a few moments before immediately forcing herself back to her feet."Back in my day, you wouldn't even have dared to look me in the eye." The soldier says with a sneer. "And you certainly wouldn't have bothered pulling that stunt."Her head cranes up to stare at the beast standing before her. The only speck of visible emotion on the masked soldier's face is unfettered disgust. "I am better than you. I will always be better than you. I have conquered my nature. I have conquered town after town, leaving nothing behind but burnt corpses and exploded heads. For that is the role I have appointed onto myself. That of a conqueror." "You waste your time, and everyone else's time, by speaking in words that serve only to please yourself." How dreadfully hypocritical, given she just started a speech solely to stoke her own ego. There's no hint of cognitive dissonance within the soldier's mind. "To speak meaningless gibberish, to question and reject the obvious truth of your surroundings and your place in this world.""I am a soldier. I am a leader. I am the closest thing anyone here can consider a God. What do you bring? What great accomplishments has someone of your ilk achieved? I will prove that I am better than any of you. I will prove that I am better than you. I will prove I was better than what I once-"[A long time ago. Something that had incubated within what is now called Conquest.][Something that has given dreams to a beast that never should be allowed to dream…]The soldier shakes her head. The mask covering her face is clearly growing more and more uncomfortable by the second. "Death, Famine, Conquest, War, Pestilence. We will be greater than you ever were.">>6455513Masked man? Conquest almost wanted to correct him, but she finds it funnier if she didn't. "Crime? Of your very being? The only crime you have committed is having a set of hair like that. Tsk, it wouldn't fit in the outfit I had in mind of a soldier like you.""It is no matter." The soldier hardly pays any mind to the man's self depreciating tone. "You are amusing, and that is more than enough."
>>6455146>Magnimagick one
>>6455459>>6455487Joro looks down at the doughy creature in growing amusement and very subtly breathes out a sigh of relief. Looks like this green one doesn't know her at all. A reckoning postponed..."Hiiiiiiiii~" she waves back, waggling her fingers."And to answer your question, Ms. Cloudsley." Joro turns with a very sedate smile. "I am in fact a totally normal human being with a totally normal pair of lungs. The lungs of a mere spider would be far too small and far too insufficient for my purposes. There's really no need to double check, but if it pleases that sinful curiosity of yours..."Sniggering, Joro takes out her "spellpick," a sort of enormous ritual dagger the size of a claymore. "You are more than welcome to see through a hands on demonstration if you'd like, haha.">>6455513"yowza, you can grind meat on that thing," Joro remarks as she gazes upon the masked stranger, taking in his CHISELED MUSCULATURE and OSTENTATIOUS LOVE OF GOLD."I know you not, man," she says as she approaches delicately towards that GOLDEN VISAGE. "But why don't you become *my* minion? After all is said and what will be done is done here, you'll get to live in my mansion and there will be many games to play and all the time to take and lots of treats to eat. It will be very amusing and all of your sins (real or legal) will be certainly be pardoned under my magnificent patronage.""Well. If it pleases you, give in. If it pleases you, let go. Do what you will in strife and in conflict~">>6455522>>6451647Joro drinks a bit of water after engaging in multiple simultaneous deep plot threads at once then turns to Hestri and puts her hands on her hips."Dearest... bogthinge..." Joro stares at Hestri, trying to find the words, then gives up with a little huff. "'Monsters,' always monsters, yes. But did you really have to CR@WL up next to me while I was talking to my dear friend Conquistador, didn't you? So rude, so rude! Those words were for her and her alone. That's quite socially unacceptable, you know?""I would tell you to not make a scene, not to hold your breath, and not get in my way... But you do recognize the pleasing and healthful qualities of poison and you did brew up a mean good blueberry soup in the blue vial earlier. Mmm." Joro smacks her lips(?) with a faint clicking noise. She tilts her head this way and that as she circles around the bog witch. "Whatever am I to do with you then, hmm? So persistent..."

"Bis vincit qui se vincit in victoria, you feel me?""I wasn't paying much attention to be honest," Joro overtly lies. "But that's more on your part than on mine own. You're BORING me, Conk. War is BORING and I'm not surprised that a BORING THING like you would enjoy it. Think of *me* a beast? Hahahaha!" "Any marauding cretin just like you can wage a vulgar man's war with all of its death, brutality, disorder, peppered envy, pain, and horror. If that's all you're good for, then don't step from the brink!" Joro pumps her fist in mock encouragement. "Dominate, humiliate, enjoy, and relax! Worthwhile advancements don't stop to think! If the iron's hot in your hands, so I tell you then, darling, go through, head to shoot, execute! So mindless, so spineless, so Paradigmless!""I forget purpose? Then you forget yours. That is to entertain and serve me, War. Just fuel for your betters, forevermore. You're only 'human' and humans were created to work...""Oh yes..." Joro twiddles her fingers as she side-eyes Conquest, walking around her. "And what manner of God would waste her time with silly disguises" — Joro points at her mask — "just to be a playable character in a player's game?" Joro smiles widely at that and gestures grandly, vaguely. "It seems w— you're caught as the prey, for the ones who wanted to play, so bide your time and enjoy your stay, let's all watch the time whittle away...""And one last thing... My place in the world? My accomplishments? The rounds I've won?" Joro's voice dips down into a hushed whisper, like the warm darkness of the night which gives context to the sky."The rule of the game is to multiply. I have always been the mistress of my own lust, taking all things to myself to feed my emptiness. Even now within me broods the voracious desire to spread seeds upon the land, to propagate myself, to breed. Unbeknownst to you, there are as many armies of my children on this earth as however many men you've ever killed in your entire life. March, march, proliferate, march. Eviscerate, regenerate, procreate."Joro does a little playful wave of the fingers. "Of course, I could just be making this all up, just like you and your epic cool frags in the dregs of the Ostravyan trenches, haha.""One day, I'll show you one of my little ones. Even in absence, mothers and children are seldom far from each other’s minds," she says more to the air than Conquest alone. "They're good children even if they become misguided. My family gives me as much happiness as arrows in hands of a warrior or a rifle in your hands. My bliss for all to see... But alas, alack, our time together in the here and now is almost through. Some other day soon.”
>>6455684The Bogthinge merely stares at the Spiderthinge with a vacant stare to end all vacant stares."You called everyone for culling creatures, did you not?" She asks in the usual dreamy tone, "Mincing monsters? Flaying fiends? Beating beasts?"She blinks again as that trusty spider of hers peeks out from the jungle of unkempt hair draped across her slouched shoulders."I am a one in every, I assume... unless I'm not? In which case, what am I and who isn't everyone?" One of her fingers taps her chin in quiet contemplation. "If everyone isn't, then isn't one some? And if some is some, then what every are they?"Swaying like a scarecrow in a midday breeze, the witch comes to a halt with a charming, albeit crooked smile. "You're one indeed, Many-Outfitted Girl... though I shant share which every I assume you associate..."Retrieving a fresh, effervescent brew from her robes, the witch offers it to the articulate oddity. "A potiony present to proclaim peace, partner."

>>6455806>an all out offense shooting star buildA glorious end awaits!
The Gilkalor, sometimes called the Great Stone Dragon (though this is technically inaccurate, as it is in fact a species of Wyvern), is a beast that can, if left unchecked, balloon to a gargantuan stature, plowing through forests, mountains, and cities alike. Their body is covered in spines, some hard and sturdy, others needle-thin and razor sharp, all a significant obstacle preventing the average blade from piercing its mighty hide. While this terrifying beast has no particular hunger for meat, its wanton destruction and love for the stones humans like to build their settlements out of makes its very existence on the world of the surface a terrifying prospect. This is no mere monster: it’s a walking siege weapon.Worse still, this beast is spawning Wyvernlings, little parthenogenetic copies borne from its shed scales, an ability never before observed in even instances of this species far larger and older than the one you’re set to fight today. Something is very, very wrong…THE GILKALOR (Occupies 8 tiles. Can be looted six times.)STATS: [HP: 600, MOV: 4, DC: 10; May take 2 actions per round. 3 tiles of melee range. Deals 2 points of recoil against enemies that fail to hit. For every two successful hits, spawn 1 Wyvernling, up to a maximum of three per round.]>ACTION 1: SWIPE [Affects three adjacent tiles within its melee range. Rolls 3 attacks of 1d10+5 against each target dealing 6 dmg per successful hit. Also grants 2 universal Damage resistance]>ACTION 2: HUNKER [Gains +4 DC for the next two rounds and heals 20 HP. May stack once, up to a maximum of +8.]>ACTION 3: SCALERAIN [Lowers DC by 3 for one round upon using. Targets all enemies in melee range, dealing 7 damage and inflicting 2 Poison stacks upon successful hit. 3d6-3. Inflicts 1 shrapnel.]WYVERNLINGSSTATS: [HP: 15, MOV: 5, DC: 7]>ACTION: BITE [Attacks one enemy in melee range, dealing 4 damage upon a successful hit. 2d6. Scuttle.]

>>6455731All of the words Joro said went in one ear and out the other. She might try to justify it in her head as Conquest being too retarded to get the bigger picture, but no, the soldier genuinely has lost any interest in dialogue with the ontologically smug spider creature. It is clear to the soldier that any attempt at future dialogue with it will only result in another tidal wave of the same old words."Boorish as I may be, at least I get results." Conquest bluntly states. "And what value is there in your amusement? Such a haughty 'matron' as yourself, focused on only entertaining herself with late night operas and pleasuring herself to both her own reflection and her own voice."The soldier brushes off the dust clinging to her coat. "I would eat your horrid spawn alive. I've eaten worse rations in the war." That is that, this is this. So be as it may, the soldier fades from the room, not bothering to even wait for Joro's response.>>6455826>SPAWN in #2>LOAD RIFLE FOR FUTURE VIOLENCE>MOV 3B, 1A"This?

The darkness seemed to be almost impenetrable as the Dawnseekers arrived sporadically at their target. Poyo had arrived somewhere to the east, Two other companions were already present nearby, several spells flying out and illuminating the nearby area, though he still feels frightfully alone despite this arcane showing. One of the Spelldivers hurls herself into the darkness, and Poyo musters whatever courage his little heart can manage and marches slowly into the thick gloom.One of the spells lights up part of his way and his composure is restored somewhat by it's radiance, but he quickly loses his way as the spell moves past him and he ends up stumbling further into the darkness than he intended. The shadows dance around him, the distant magelight elongating and twisting them into untold horrors."P-Poyo!" He cries in a feeble voice, touching the end of his little wand to his head. A golden shimmer slowly envelops him, lightning crackling sporadically in between the layered sheets of mist as the barrier tethers itself to his body. Feeling a little more confident (though not by much), he carefully scans the edge of the black abyss for any sign of movement.>>6455826>Deploy on #4>Move along direction F1, A1, F2>Cast Surge Protection on self[Surge Protection]EFFECT SIGILS- Barrier- QuickstepFORM- WreatheMODIFIERS- Elegy to the Old OnesTotal:PWR 10 {12 (15) while under the effects of Death Knell}Effect: Creates Barrier (10){12 if under the effect of Death Knell}, increases targets next movement action equal to barrier strength.Stats - Elementalist: [HP: 5, MOV: 4, DC: 6]

Brimming with joy, Cynthia not only sends the new Ladybird flying into the dark, but she also conjures a golden bird and shoots it off in another direction, its brilliant feathers scattering behind until it disintegrates in a flicker. We'll see if these experiments are suitable for sniffing out the prey...To tie loose ends:>>6455487Cynthia's inquisitiveness was instantly overtaken by disgust. After separating Poyo from her 'lollypop', like she might pry open the clamped jaws of a toothing puppy, she held the mischievous creature out at arms length and squeamishly wiped the slobber off onto her jacket. "You bastard..." she muttered, checking her keepsake for tooth marks. "Is it in our budget to have somebody train this thing?">>6455684For whatever reason, Joro's eager invitation didn't sit right with Cynthia. She stashed the clue-finder away again and tried to brush away her comments with a polite nod. Thankfully, Joro's diatribe was quickly redirected elsewhere.
>>6455867Also, Cynthia hopes that Thorne notes the utility that Ladybird's icy hazards might have as food for the Burning King's light, however much she may hesitate to cooperate with such baleful forces.
>>6456116We are grateful! Thorne would never ignore the goodly intentions offered to him from a Lady. This King may not be quite as tame as Volcano Lord but I think we can make do.

Magelit.The Dawnseekers venture into the dark reaches of the wooded canyon, finding trees trampled over, rocks crushed and gnawed on, and air thick with the dust in the wake of the Gilkalor's rampage. Little wyvernlings, borne from the beast's scales, skitter about in the dark, their stony talons occasionally sounding dissonant screeches in the night, only interrupted by the occasional echoing stomp from the monster from which they came.Still, you are spelldivers, and fear, be it by noble courage or mad confidence, has never stopped you before. THORNE, WARPIG, COOKIE, FLOCHE, and OPHELIA rush spell-first into the fray, their magic surrounding them as they burst forward from their deployment zones. Only the spells of Sir Thorne, however, finds its victim, the flames of Tartarus strangling the little drake. More cautious in their scouting, UR-GLATBAOTH, FINLAY, and CYNTHIA shoot magelights into the dark, breaking up the inky blackness with their spellcraft. However, the spells of the latter two fall short, Cynthia's sparrow and one of Finlay's elucidating orbs being seemingly eaten by the dark, until the old mage's second cast reveals the source of their magic's sudden stop— the spawn has descended!JOROGUMO acts with hauty poise, lifting her wand with a cackle as her Palebreath streaks across the grass, scorching it and the earth beneath it before saturating them in unnatural light. Her spell strikes true, immolating one of the pesky creatures on the spot. THIRZA, with a shy swing of her scythe, releases a powerful debuff, rending the dense scale armor of her victim down to nothing from the inside-out.

Rolled 3, 3, 2 + 3 = 11 (3d4 + 3)A bright flash passes by above Poyo as he nervously attempts to guard against the lurking darkness as yet another strange lady (this one almost without clothes) burns past him, heedless of any danger or ally before her. The static of the spell briefly lifts him off the ground, causing him to tumble precariously through the air for a moment before gravity reasserts control over him and returns him to the cold earth. He lands with a slight thud, the barrier protecting him from any serious harm."Poyo..." comes a low, slow uttering from the dizzy creature. Clearly this exhibitionist has a complete lack of tact and concern for her allies. He tries to stand back up, only to find himself being lifted into the air once again, this time by sharp fangs. Panic sets in as knife-like teeth attempt to maul it's way through his defenses."IIIYAA!" he screams as he's rolled back and forth in the creature's maw as it tries to break the shimmering obstacle. An electrical surge jumps from the barrier down the creature's throat, which causes it to whimper in pain and spit out the little puffball. He bounces off the ground, accompanied by a little adorable squeaking noise as the beast retreats into the surrounding darkness The barrier's gleam is somewhat extinguished by the assault, but remains stable.Jumping to his feet almost immediately, he adjusts his little jester's cap while keeping his eyes fixed on the retreating wyvern. They glow with stark determination as he watches the animal fade into the shadows. Sparks begin leaping from his small feet as he runs in circles for a moment before he heads off into the darkness with his little wand held high.>>6456863>move as indicated to Sir Willis' old position (7 total movement points)>cast Galvanic Surge along the B line from said position7/14 movement spent = 7 remaining Quickstep charges. 7 Charges that would be lost stored.

There's a certain fervor to Susanne's tone that hasn't been heard before. She seems enthralled in the mere idea of their foe, let alone the battle itself. Anyone within her vicinity would be able to hear her mumbling away like a landslide down a hill-- one wayward thought after another, each seeming to hit the serpentess with some kind of new revelation, some new hypothesis-- each and every one brought about a level of epiphany one would only expect from some kind of religious awakening. Suddenly very aware of the benefits of her newly-tweaked secondary spell, Susanne swiftly disappeared into the darkness. She seemed absolutely dead set on whatever she saw in there, not stopping for a single moment to look back or signal anything to her teammates, and the only indication that she remained alive and near the rest of her guild came in the form of an enormous bolt of lightning streaking across the canyon.

You know what's not fun? Being torn to shreds by a volley of razor sharp, spider-like hairs. The mask obscuring Conquest's face is almost knocked clean off, finally revealing whatever horrible mess is underneath there, but alas.

>>6458247Susanne's cyclopean eyepiece whirred and spun about its larger half, the serpentess's head firmly in place as she darted out of the darkness and into the Gilakor's line of sight. A shower of scales followed soon after-- all of which narrowly missed the Countess-- and, as a few particularly venomous scales clattered to the ground, without so much as a single drop of blood shed, the single-eyed self-proclaimed scientist swept down and grabbed a couple for further research. Comments were made-- none of them particularly sensical-- and notes were taken. In no time at all, Susanne's target returned to her sights-- slipping across ice and slamming into a column-- and, the moment it did, a particularly tactical-sounding whirr left the mechanism powering the smaller lens of Susanne's eyepiece. A loud shout followed an emerald claw, pointed in the direction of the great and dreaded Gilkalor: "Kneel at once, you treacherous child!" Susanne's scales seemed to shiver in unison with her wig-- lightning burst forth from her horns, traveled down her armor (natural and unnatural alike), and threw itself at the gargantuan Gilkalor with reckless abandon!>MOVE per GREEN LINE>CAST CABINET MEETING V3 according to YELLOW LINE-CABINET MEETING V3-FORM>TrilinkEFFECTS>Stalagmite Armor>VoltsphereMODIFIERS>Sprawling>Elegy to the Old Ones>Longshot>Dawnforce>Blunt

His magic connects with a loud crack, the green lightning sizzling as it engulfs the juvenile dragon completely in a matter of moments. What remains in the aftermath was hardly recongnizable as a wyvern, a black and burned piece of charcoal all that is left in it's stead.Poyo bounces up and down in a fit of gleeful triumph, but a powerful roar that echoes from horizon to horizon causes him to fall over by it's sheer reverberation alone. In the distance a huge beast towers over the forest itself, it's metallic sheen is made even more deadly as it unleashes an attack that shakes the very earth itself. Huge clouds of dust rises around it's rampage, and he could swear he saw small shapes being tossed around like leaves in a storm in the wake of the strike.The little courage Poyo had managed to work up for himself after defeating the wyvernling vanishes instantly as he spotted the daemonic creature. Peril took hold of his heart, causing him to shiver in fear all the way to his very core. But he knew he had to go face the beast.

Rolled 1 (1d5)>>6458283>>6458256A clang like what would be heard from a blacksmith's anvil rings out from the darkness, and Cynthia calmly turns to produce another golden bird to reveal its source, but before she can do anything, a booming sound like a glacial avalanche rushes forward until, with a deafening roar and the blink of an eye, the entire mass of a living mountain lands right above her, bringing with it a flurry of shorn ice and a shower of draconic hail. "Oh shi-" she gasps, before her hieroshield is instantly shattered and she is flung into the air, landing unconscious nearby.But thank the heavens, for a fine purveyor of Nature's boons, an ambassador of the forgotten sanctuaries for vulgar and wild life, and a scholar of the weird and wonderful flora that grow within them, has for whatever reason taken a liking to perhaps the most bougie civilization-corrupted bitch that's imaginable, even one that just laid out a frozen welcome mat for their enemy. The timely boggy odor breathes life into Cynthia again, the feeling of uselessness creeping into her mind, before she angrily shakes it away. She vanishes in a puff of silvery translucent feathers, appearing a (hopefully) safe distance away, before coalescing the feathers into a bird that flutters around to grant some strength to herself and to her most weary-looking comrades."Rrrr...

His back and knees sting from the bad landing. The gilkalor's torrential attack has left caustic, poisoned cuts all over him. And if that wasn't miserable enough, the uneasy thrum in his staff is reaching a fever pitch and giving him a migraine. As those odd folks who practice the islanders' methods would say, things are not daijoubu. The creature's assault has left it open to reprisal, but he is in no state to be pressing the advantage. A quick, totally-not-panicking look around, and...>MOVING 3F +2F from iceslick>MOVING 3EThere! Surely the vile beast will not find him here when there are so many others demanding its attention. Now he can catch his breath and deal with the awful presence in his sacrescepter.
"Cynthia, could you take one step towards the Beast? I need a relay point, the bindings should be enough to keep you hale when it retaliates."
Reinforcing his shimmering barrier not a moment too soon, Poyo is immediately launched by a terrible tail swap by a another hidden Wyvernling. The landing is a strained affair as he collides heavily with a rock jutting out of the landscape. The barrier flashed dangerously as it absored the force of the impact, but remained stable as the little star traveler rose to his feet unsteadily. He stared into the jaws of his attacker for a moment before the panic set in once more, and he went careening off into the darkness to escape his attacker. The extra power transfered over from his barrier as he sprinted wildly into the darkness, the static charge rolling off his barrier before coalescing into the edge of his Shardcandle wand.He ran through the brush, over the shadowy meadows and through the giant indents left in the wake of the Gilakor's rampage to escape his pursuer, leaving the gnashing teeth and rending claws far behind him as he went further and further into the forest's depths. When the adrenaline subsided and the power in his barrier waned, he felt he could run no longer and he laid himself down heavily on the stump of a once powerful tree. It's great trunk lay tossed to the side, presumably brought low by the Gilkalor in it's mad dash south in search of Spelldiver prey.Little Poyo sighed wearily as his body splayed outward in exhaustion, like a small ball of putty that had been left forgotten on a countertop in the sun."Poyo..." came a downcast proclamation from the creature, who felt very lonely and unfairly put-upon out here in the vast, forested expanse. It was the only thought he had time for as another huge roar rolled over the forest, the dangerous glimmer of the scaled monstrosity once more visible on the horizon as it devasted even more of the landscape. Poyo sluggishly manged to get to his feet, and from who knows where retrieved a small canister of the philtreliquor he had packed for the mission. As he downed the warm, sharp smelling liquid he felt his strength and his courage return anew.Discarding the canister (it's magical contents now depleted, the container simply vanished in a puff of smoke once dropped) he began running circles as he had done before, building charge and gathering power for his spell. Waving his little wand he directed the electrical force into a ball above his head, reinforcing it with the charge accrued from his desperate escape earlier. The power built to dangerous levels, the ball of green magical lightning now multiple times the size of the tiny caster, and the sparks that flew from it electrocuted anything that was unfortunate to find itself in range of the flowing current."POYO!!!" He shouted as he thrust his wand forward with all his might. The extreme force, suddenly given purpose, flooded forward without hesitation. It's green light briefly illuminated it's path through the forest as it surged towards it's target: the meanacing Mammoth Beast that polluted the skyline before him.

The tremors of the wounded beast could be felt all the way into the depths of the forest where Poyo still occupied the great stump after his great spell. Many of the less securly rooted trees surrounding him finally gave up their struggle against gravity, most collpasing in heaps and kicking up clouds of dust as the localised quake finished rearranging the fresh injuries left behind in the earth from the great monstrous tracks.Poyo failed to maintain his stance during the intense shaking and fell backwards off the stump, bumping his head on one particularly thick root sticking out of the former tree before landing unceremoniously in a freshly sprung hole in the ground."Poyo." He rubbed his head where a small bump was quickly forming against his wishes. He pulled his little hat down further to hide it before he climbed his way out of the pit he was presently in.The forest had changed somehow in the very short time after his fall. The shadows seemed longer, the distant light dimmer. Even the path he had traced during his run were now darker than it had been, the tiny little stars that danced to light the way now absent in the complete blackness that surrounded him. The shadows seemed to move menacingly, as if they were spawning more evils behind them just out of sight. Poyo waved his wand around defensively, it's magic crackling slightly during the motion, before taking off south as fast as his little feet would carry him. It would take him closer towards the great beast, yes, but over there was also light and allies. He would not last long alone if the shadows held even a quarter of the enemies that his mind had envisioned stalking the underbrush in the clearing he had just left.Considering which tiles had their magelights snuffed out you can expect to find Shadescales in the marked areas, with encounter chances possibly higher in the east.>>6462716>move 3D, 1E>cast Surge Protection on self[Surge Protection]EFFECT- Barrier- QuickstepFORM- WreatheMODIFIERS- Elegy to the Old OnesTotal:- Runespace cost 3- PWR 10 (13 if using Strongstout) {12 (15) while under the effects of Death Knell}Effect: Creates Barrier (10){12 if under the effect of Death Knell}, increases targets movement equal to barrier strength on next movement action.

>>6465233>GILKALOR: 26 DMG, 8 total Onyx fire (consumes ordinary fire stacks). >Wyvernling 13: SLAINThe divers scramble in response to this unexpected burst of power from the beast, some fleeing, tripping over their feet or the surrounding terrain in their haste to escape, others reacting with equal parts terror and professionalism, dealing with the situation as calmly as possible while still feeling their foci tremble at the tips of their quivering fingers. The last group: OPHELIA, consumed by the twisted stars of the Presence, THORNE, filled with some combination of heroic bravery and a rush of battle-thirst brought by his cthonic binds, or PTOLEMY, driven by equal measures vanity and suicidal guilt, charge boldly towards the frontlines to aid their allies and distract the beast.On the east flank, things remain eerily quiet. FRIEDEL, as coremad as her unofficial epithet suggests (infamous though she may have been to those who knew her, she hadn't met the requirements to be declared a Named Mage) reaps the rewards of her dark application of the Magnum Opus, while CONQUEST, fleeing from the frontlines, snags a corpse blackened— but not converted— by those midnight flames. LADYBIRD stumbles into the first of the new monsters, its twisted form nearly invisible as its blood-wrought scales effortlessly blend into the darkness.

The little wyvernlings seem to take after their progenitor, as the Gilkalor itself stands tall and unleashes a volley of its own ichor-coated scales, the already darkened skies blackening beneath the rain of bleeding fury. ALARYCK's good eye gleams, fire licking at the tip of his false arm— he prepared for this eventuality, his fire flickering around his allies in preparation for the grand assault. This saved OPHELIA from having her hieroshield shattered, and, though unnecessary this time, those same flames wreathe CYNTHIA.THORNE, after a successful attack, laughs heartily as the scales clunk harmlessly off his mighty Magemaile. Just as things seemed fine, however, a sharp pain hit his heart, nearly breaking his stance. He could feel his blood writhe beneath his skin, as if pulled towards the ichor of the beast, rattling his mana and nearly shattering his armor. He stands stalwart, however. A knight of honor is not so easily broken.

Rolled 2, 4, 1 - 1 = 6 (3d4 - 1)Stumbling out of the darkness, Poyo is almost immediately set upon by the shadow creature that had stalked him on his escape out of the gloom. The dragonling caught up just as the little puffball threw himself forward to reach the light, the two rows of teeth in it's jaws slamming shut behind him as he drifted slightly to a stop in a small clearing. Poyo had expected to find an ally here, the towering masked man who had danced on the line of dusk between the light and darkness, but he had already moved on when the star drifter bursted out from the underbrush.The deadly wildlife wasn't satisfied by it's near miss however, and with no backup nearby it wasted no time at all to continue the chase. A dark miasma poured from the creature's gaping mouth, covering itself and the surrounding area in a deep, crimson fog. The heavy cloud rolled over Poyo, sticking to his magical barrier despite his fierce struggle to keep it clear of the invasive smoke. A sharp sulfuric stench rose as the corrosivel magics tried it's best eat through his defenses. Poyo, in a panic, quickly cast his gaze over the surrounding area in a desperate plea for help.When he noticed he was still mostly alone, and forced to deal with the new threat himself, he sprung into action. With his little wand he summoned forth the sparking magic and ran as fast as he could. He dodged the teeth, a body slam and a tail swipe as he bobbed and weaved around the Shadescale. The electical force flowed out of his wand and left a trail behind him as he ran circles around the creature. When he felt he had drawn upon enough magic, he skidded to a halt and turned towards the beast just as it bared it's fangs against him once more.It wouldn't get a chance to use them again."POYO!!!" He cried in a tiny voice, the magic that hung precariously in the air springing to life at his call.

The folly takes its toll. Dark, rancorous power seeps from Parsley's scepter, iron-tinged smoke and a sickening, blinding crimson light bathing the battlefield as the focus begins to cackle. The divers, the Gilkalor, everything stops dead in its tracks, the lights in the sky seeming to bleed sanguine, just for a moment, forcing an uncanny stillness over the half-ruined gorge. Bright red chains burst from the now opened eye of the Star's focus, her power pressing down, claws sinking into the arrogant mage and popping his hieroshield like a bubble of soap, sending him back instantly. For just a moment, even without Parsley present, the ancient deity chuckles, obviously amused by the cocky little humans who dared invoke her attention after so long.>PARSLEY evacuated.

THORNE and WARPIG work in tandem, shoving the Gilkalor around, forcing it to snap the thorny binds around it, bursting JOROGUMO's nettles for terrifying damage.

>>6467264The hunt is coming to a close. Conquest begins to shake as she processes all of the targets she could shoot. So many heads to explode. A festival of carnage and death. A battlefield mired in the stench of blood. Her mask, the one thing shielding her identity, finally falls. Perhaps out of excitement. Perhaps because she has no reason to hide anymore.Something is wrong with her face. It has distinctly human proportions, something that could fit inside of a gas mask for example, but it's just..off. A blanket of grey fur covers her face, with some specks of dried blood clinging to said fur. Her nose is a soft, fleshly pink nub, rodent-like in quality. Her ears have to be hidden under her helmet, since they're not on the sides of her head where a human's ears should be.While nowhere near as extreme as Suzanne's appearance, it is obvious to anyone with eyes that Conquest is not a normal human."Let's keep the festival going. Do not falter. Do not end up like the one formerly known as Parsley." Her voice is soft and melodic, like she's reached a level of inner peace usually only accessible by monks. A strange voice to be coming out of a face like that, that's for sure. "Or else, those you love will remember you as yet another victim that lost their head. And please, if you must fall to the sin of pride, grant us the kindness of not having to watch you die.">LOAD MY GUN>SHOOT AS SUCH, using my spell's ARCING ability to arc onto 9 after healing Friedel.

Rolled 13 (1d15)His first mission with the collection of odd adventures appeared more and more a gauntlet for poor Poyo as he had hardly time to colllect himself before yet more dragonspawn descended out of the shadows. He quickly attempted to duck from what he thought would be another assault of razor sharp teeth, but instead more vile miasma escaped through the carapace of the creature, conjugating and forming a putrid fog intent on choking him.Poyo tried desperately to not breath in the foul smelling air, coughing slightly as the beast continued to bellow smoke like an industrial chimney that was a little too enthused with it's job. As it happened, this gave another member of their party his opening. A cloaked armoured figure came hurtling through the mist, sword drawn as lightning carried him forward. He struck the immature dragon across it's flank, the weapon leaving behind small crystaline forms in the wound that detonated in a hail of shards shortly after the man had disappeared once more in the vapor. The beast roared in anger, momentarily losing it's focus and clearing the air of it's foul pollution.Poyo didn't waste the opening the intervention had bought him, his wand already powered and ready to unleash it's deadly charge. It struck the beast centre mass, the electrical discharge momentarily paralyzing it before death took firm hold of it's soul as it collapsed to the ground like a stringless puppet. Another jingle could be heard as the bells on Poyo's little hat whirled around as he struck another victory pose.Something sparkling caught his eye as he made a little pirouette to empahsize his triumph. It lay within the jaws of his previous conquest, a bauble of some kind lodged between the long, knife-like teeth of the monster. Poyo quickly looked around him to make sure he would be somewhat safe from any other attacks, before he carefully walked over to the corpse with guarded curiosity.

It turned out to be a simple affair to dislodged the item from it's prison as it almost flowed out of the creature's mouth with but the slightest suggestion of force from Poyo, as if it had a will of it's own. The object landed neatly in the soft grass, it's form stretching to accomodate the twisting geometry of the earth rather than attempt to force it's own shape upon it. He picked it up delicately, craddling it between his little arms as to not let it escape his grasp and perhaps disappear completely amongst the tall grass.It was a Sigil, like the ones they all used to augment their equipment, but not one of the types that were present within the Guild's spell armoury. This one was markedly different. Where an Earth Sigil was robust and sturdy, this one was delicate and malleable; where a Fire Sigil would proudly exude warmth and untamed power, this one concealed it's intensity underneath it's tranquil coolness; where a Poison Sigil would be murky and foggy in it's texture, this one was as crystal clear as the morning dew.Poyo balanced the item precariously in his hand for a moment as it fought to escape his grip, observing his own clear reflection that was visible in the swimming magic of the sigil, before he slid it underneath his little hat for safekeeping.>>6467692>Dreadrain [ELEMENT: WATER]

A bileblood blast cuts her off, the piercing blood and drenching venom brushing lightly off her Barrier. "... but alas. Alack. Our pleasantries must resume at another time."Jorogumo turns and looks on calmly at the impossibly rude creecher before her. Still slick with blackened blood like a newborne babe and heaving with the poison in its system jammed in by Conquest's earlier Predetermined Trajectory, the combat-mature Shadescale snarls its defiance as it sizes up the eight foot tall woman in front of it and she sizes it in turn. She taps the side of her head with her pointer and middle fingers in a vague gesture then takes out a small fourteen-sided dice in one claw and her flask of Philtreliquor in another. She tosses the dice high into the air then crushes the cheap flask of Stoutstrong and raises it above her head, drinking the last of its contents in the same motion as from a torn-out heart in an atavistic aftermath of a ritual. Then the dice comes down hurtling down to the dust of the earth with the finality of a judge's verdict and Joro reads it aloud:>14Jorogumo puts away her wand, raises her pointer finger, and waggles it from left to right at the Shadescale as if scolding a naughty child."Oh, temper, temper! You should know what comes next!" She grins jorribly down at the prey before her. And what white and terrible teeth the spider has! Teeth to break and claws to rend! "You're going to love *this.* Trust me."The Beast's entire body shudders in sheer excitement as she cackles to herself, groaning, moaning, and clawing at her hidden face. Wisps of pale and silver-tinted smoke rise forth from the opening of her hood as she approaches it delicately, haltingly, then stops an inch away. A circle or disk of golden light flashes before her f@ce. Jorogumo breathes slowly in then unleashes her COMPLETE AND TOTAL PALEBREATH EXTERMINATION point blank at the Shadescale! The roiling blast of boiling plasma and concentrated light completely erases the monster from the memories of the earth and scorches the earth below it into glass! Laughing all the while, the great spider turns her head upwards and her body is forced backwards as her Palebreath fires off with more PWR. More! MORE! The coruscating beam of murderous light turns the nite into dae as it flies off like a hunting horror, twisting and bending in the middle of the air, then striking the Gilkalor dead on, vaporizing an entire layer of blackblood scales from the lesser beast's form! Sear the flesh, break the bones! The Gilk roars in gargantuan agony and anger as it reels.But even with its obituary signed and its fate already written, it still stands on for ONE MORE ROUND.Jorogumo chuckles breathlessly yet smugly as she peeps her handiwork through the dense treeline.

ALICIEL and PTOLEMY continue their essential work, recognizing something amiss as a vast, sickening mana not unlike the unholy might of the Burning King or Crimson Star wells in the gut of the grand beast. WARPIG, sensing the issue as well, makes haste away, his Magemaile burning his skin as it lies overheated from his Übersmite. OPHELIA lands a devastating blow, crashing her body into the Gilkalor, her cloak billowing with stars as she slams the full might of the Presence into its hide. JOROGUMO, finally capable of casting her Palebreath at a truly awe-inspiring fortitude, slams her magic into it, cleaving a hole straight through the drake's chest. Blood pours out, yet, disturbingly, not a drop touches the ground. Sure, THORNE's Flames of Tartarus may be evaporating some, and perhaps its great stature is keeping some sequestered along its ridges and scales, but... no. FINLAY and FRIEDEL look onward in horror— they have enough experience to know something terrible is about to happen.

Though mindless as many monsters are, even this brute understands the basics of life and death, and it seems to recognize that its own life is coming to a close. However, unlike most organisms where dying is simply dying, the Gilkalor has one last scheme.Its mana hums discordantly in its throat, the now vestigial organ a different wyvern might use for its deadly breath-weapon, a considerable crystallization of decades of runoff magic. With something you could almost mistake for a smirk, the Gilkalor roars, every single drop of blood in its body and then some loosing out from all sides, causing it to wither into a dessicated husk, powerful sinew and unbreakable bones standing proud over the battlefield even in death. The result of this desperado move was an undodgeable deluge, covering the entire canyon in rain blacker than the unlit night sky. Nobody was safe.

He decided that, if he was going to trudge back anyway, he might as well act on that hunch and bring with him a temporary Warp Anchor and a few bonus Hieroshield ring.

Rolled 1 (1d15)As the final, desperate roar of the dying beast echoes over the remains of the forest, Poyo is verily reminded of his own precarious form as the reverberations pulsing through the air threaten to launch his little body sky high. He only manages to stay grounded by hanging on for dear life to a sturdy root portruding out of the ground near the fallen Shadescale.The eerie howl is followed by a deep crimson rain, the final vestige of the great monster's power intent on take as many of it's would be slayers with it to the afterlife. Poyo miraculously evades the torrent of dark ichor, dodging this way and that to avoid the heavy droplets as their caustic effect melted leaves, rocks and stem alike around him.The bout of dangerous weather ended just as abruptly as it began, the strength and hatred imbued into the rain by the Gilkalor quickly evaporating from it, leaving it mostly inert. Poyo carefully approaches a pool of the liquid which had gathered to fill one of the massive footprints left behind by the Gilkalor, dipping his wand into the liquid and swirling it around a little. The liquid reacts strangely to the presence of his magic, as it forms little droplets that float around his Shardcandle Wand in an almost licentious mockery of gravity itself. Poyo observes the way the blood magic flows with marked curiosity and focus, feeling it out with his own little sparks in an attempt to grasp the fundamental components of the rapidly fading magicks...>>6469643He is interrupted in his curious examination by the strange nobel lady, who with a half sneer directs him north towards another of the many creature remains that littered the field."Poyo...?" He responds back distantly as he turns to meet her gaze, but sje were already well on her way elsewhere before he had even begun to respond. His grasp on the floating blood droplets weakening as his focus is drawn away, the blood landing heavily as a strong ripple spreads over the pool, dispersing the final remnants of magic from the viscous liquid.With the liquid now inert, Poyo sees no other choice than to go inspect the corpse as the lady had told him to. He wandered slowly towards it, coming close to the strange robed creature whom no one really seemed to know much about. He gave it a polite, friendly little wave before he jumped on the back of the dead Shadescale and began prying it's scales off, looking for any more of those shiny trinkets he had found before.>>6468912>move 1A, 1F>loot Shadescale 10Rolling for loot.

Seeing this, a clever combat mage created this sigil to weaponize that phenomenon.As you walk through the paved stone roads of the city, you hear cheering pouring in from every corner you round. Flowers rain down on your bloodsoaked magecloths, coins clattering on the cobbles around you as civilians lavish you in attention and rewards. Spelldivers are always appreciated, but usually from a cautious, safe distance. After all, their work is so vital to the survival of things as you know them that members of your profession can get away with shockingly extreme offenses, up to and including murder in broad daylight. The Dawnseekers, however, have fostered a reputation of humility and kindness, slaying monsters that threaten ordinary people even at the expense of your wealth and safety. These rumors are, of course, not entirely true— you had your own motives for accepting all those missions, after all— but it is true that you (and the Dawnstone as a whole) conduct yourself with far firmer moral fiber than the industry average. “Congratulations!” The good Doctor meets you all in front of the tavern doors, a warm grin spread across her face, a stack of papers in one hand and an ice cold mug of ale in the other, “Do you guys know how many lives you just saved? This whole city… well, probably not the whole city before Benvatio’s own corps got involved, but still! A lot of these people would be dead if not for you. You’re heroes!”And, it seems, people are starting to recognize it. With your newfound popularity came newfound opportunities as organizations far and wide seem to want to ride the rising tide.

>>6470340Conquest was right in the middle of applying another layer of off-smelling lotion when Alaryck caught her attention. She looks towards the bandaged mage with a crooked smile. Her mouth is lined with strange, rodentine teeth. "Perhaps I could copy your look. Perhaps." Her crooked smile falters. "You would be correct in your assumption. The most that bandages would do, given this..." She lazily waves her hand in front of her face. "...it would be a waste of both time and resources to use them. The salves do most of the work. The mask hides what it can not. To let air grace my face with the tender touch of a lover, well. It's quite a luxury these days.">>6470365Now that she was back in civilized society, she had to go back to wearing the mask. Both out of her own sense of pride, and the basic realization that walking around with half her face missing is...bad for her reputation. At least when she's drenched in unspeakable amounts of viscera, she can claim it's because of the Gilkalor exploding like an overripe pumpkin. She waves at the crowd, paying little attention to the items being thrown. Perhaps a greedier spelldiver would risk being trampled to collect a few coins, but the glory? The attention? By god, it was enough to send a wave of pure pleasure down her spine. She's even giggling in an almost lecherous tone, like this is the best thing that happened to her.Of course, she views their adoration as adoration towards HER specifically. Towards her leading an army of soldiers into the frontline. Towards her defeat of the Gilkalor, even if the credit for 'killing' the Gilkalor rightfully goes to several of her other allies. Especially that strangely mute newcomer who had a particularly potent Rend Asunder..."It was not remotely challenging. 99% of the mission's success can be accredited to your brilliant craftmanship of both weapons and armor, and 1% to my competence!" It is baffling that someone like her doesn't rely on the Sinsigil of Pride, given the way she talks and acts.>>6470366>Product Placement: Men and women, young and old, everyone loves the Dawnseekers!

>>6470366Jorogumo enters the tavern, hunched over and laden with an embarrassment of gifts of trussed chickens and melons. Her body clatters more than it normally does, covered in several gathered bones from the Gilkalor's stripped corpse. The spider hums along to a strange tune as she unpacks her rewards for doing what she does best. She never gets tired of doing what she does best. In fact, it actually keeps me up at night doing what I do best. :) "Spread my bliss so all can see. The rounds I've won, the friend that I will be...">Merchandising"Merchandising! But of course!

>>6470366Hestri doesn't even make it back to the Tavern--the Bog Witch instead following a sudden brainwave and saving a mild-mannered landlord from a pack of thugs.Turns out he's the grateful sort and even has a small piece of storefront he can't quite get rid of--after the shortest negotiation in history, Hestri buys the shop for full price (with all her savings plus tip) and completely and utterly forgets the whole Dawnseeker thing in place of...THE BOG STANDARD (no, she didn't come up with the name and no, she doesn't understand the joke): a one-stop shop... stop... for potions, poultices, and powders!>HESTRI HAS LEFT THE PARTYThanks for the game, Hierophant, but I think it's getting a bit too involved for me. Feels like I'm always a step behind and I was mostly in it for the RP stuff. Keep on truckin' and thanks for putting on a fun game! To everyone else: thanks for making things fun too!
>>6470377"But... My future minion..." Jorogumo puts her hands on her hips and taps her "foot" against the floor as she tries to process the "news" from one of her little Kumos. The shredded dress reveals shows her *real* legs, enormous and insectile, shining like dark gray armor under the tavern light, and twisted backwards like the old story of a devil in the dancehall."Hmhfph." Jorogumo crouches down and beckons with her pointer claw to the little spider creecher. "Rather than shun, keep an eye on the tainted one. It's her lines which led me to my love of rhymes. But alas. Alack. If she shan't be back, I'll see to it that her life elsewhere won't crack. Go, now."Take it easy and safe travels, bogged one. This is a pretty dense skirmish, so it's understandable.
Having exhausted himself in his first true combat with the Dawnseekers, Poyo quickly finds a place to stow himself away in one of the bags used to haul the harvested coreshards back to the guild hall, finding a nice little spot for himself amongst the minerals and drifting off in to slumber as the adventurers begin the trek back to civilization.The dreams of the little star traveler is all but peacful however, as mysterious thoughts intrude in what would normally be soft and pleasant realms, the quiet murmur of an ancient song echoing in his mind as accompaniment to the vision of the fizzling blood of the Gilkalor and it's reaction to the untethered form of his own magicks.His anxious sleep is suddenly interrupted as the bag he's hidden himself away in is unceromoniously tipped over, it's contents spilling out on one the tables in the tavern for a final check to ensure no one's been skimming any loot off the top. As the contents of the bag is emptied, Poyo rolls out of the bag with the corehards before coming to a slow stop on the table a little ways away.Lying there on his back, he stares into the ceiling for a protracted amount of time, as if he's trying to puzzle together something incredibly complicated in his mind. An action that would seem contrary to his own rather immature and childish nature...When Kudryavka delivers the correspondence to the assembled cast, Poyo turns to witness the pile with a greater interest than one would expect from a creature like him. Among the letters, one stands out to him in stark contrast from the rest. A dark aura of deep crimson emenates from the notches in it's envelope, the mysterious smoglike tendrils apparently invisible to the other assembled as it licks and swirls in licentious ease, almost as if it was searching for something. As he fixated his stare on the pile, it seemed to him that the colours of the room slowly drained away, like paint that had yet to dry being washed away by a heavy rainstorm, and he could hear a low droning note from nowhere he could identify, a note that bore a faint resemblance to the song he had heard in his dream earlier.Poyo rose to his feet almost abruptly, and with an uncanny silence, wandered in to the pile of letters to retrieve the one that was calling to him. Pushing aside requests from lesser ventures as he dug himself further into the heap, he eventually reached his target: An envelope who bore a wax seal of the prestigious Academy of the Republic. As he reached out to grab the letter, the fey mood that had overcome him suddenly lifted, the pressence within the letter seemingly vanishing with it as well. With the mysterious influence gone he very quickly returned to his more flippant demeanor."Poyo!" he cried with enthusiasm as he emerged from the pile, holding high the letter he had rescued from within it's depths in for all to see.>>6470366>Research GrantWe must ponder.>>6470377The end of the cheesy surprises is nigh upon us.
A short, enrobed figure paces silently into their midst, mumbling incoherently until entering the Dawnseeker's guild proper. Her white robe covered almost all her features, broken up only by a thick vestment in deep crimson hues, with stars embroidered in gold thread. Her voice is slightly hoarse, but with plenty of volume and intensity."The Crimson Star's whispers have sent me here. Yes, I can smell her influence upon this gathering, I sense a great duty I must serve, a great Sin to Purge.">>6465283"YOU! The scent of the Crimson Star is upon you! What did you see?

Not 3 times?
>>6470430Barrage only applies NON-POWER based effects one time. A Spell having a poison element would only apply ONE Poison stack.Envenomate is a POWER BASED EFFECT, meaning it benefits from Barrage. Applying Poison stacks up to a potential (1.5xPWR)+1.This is then used with Muckrend to burst the poison stacks for 1.5xPSN damage allowing for slightly more than 3xPWR damage on one spell.
>>6470432Misunderstood the question.Do you mean to ask if the muckrend would trigger on the first barrage hit; cutting it off at only one proc of poison and subsequent burst?If so, Muckrend specifies that spells it's attached to applies ALL POSSIBLE poison stacks before bursting them.>Muckrend [ELEMENT: POISON]: [Runespace: 2; Apply all poison stacks this spell would apply if any.

>>6470436With Short Circuit, yes to Lightning stacks. With Gemglaive, it doesn't actually apply extra Crystal. It only lets you immediately burst them for damage. It only applies crystal via its elemental effect, which Barrage can't trigger multiple times.

Jorogumo stretches lightly and lets the hood down just enough to show her "face" once more. She forces her trussed chickens into the hands of some passing waitstaff. ("... if you don't have a kitchen, just be quiet and listen: just two streets south and down in this crazy noisy bizarre town, you'll find a eating-house ran by many times great grandson, whose fire magic and rotisserie left a grand impression upon me...") Her rhymes are still kept there in time, but she keeps looking for a specific face, for the diver who she wanted to meet...>>6470404"Oh, you're a new one," Jorogumo remarks quite idly. She tilt her head quite far, this way and that, trying to peer under the hood of this stranger to ascertain the color of her eyes. "What is your name dear? Are you... one of mine, perhaps? I do have such a fondness for the red and the gold. How regal! How bold!""But..." Her eyes narrow. "For *this* color of cruor and Crimson, I must make my specil eXception. Instead, I'll pose a question: what is the kind of god you do so worship and so adore?"Jorogumo looms in ever so slightly, putting her into shadow. She already knows the answer given the presence about this one's presentation, but from this little cutlist's mouth, she wants to hear an explanation.>>6470375And abusing the turn resolution..."Aha. Ki-Poyo dear~" Jorogumo strides over and promptly enters a proper seiza a few feet away from the rotund being. "There you are." And very gently, like handling a small baby, she places one of her melon onto the floor and gives it a push, sending it rolling until it comes to a stop right next to the little star voyager. "Here. How about a little treat treat for such a brave performance out there, hm? One of my children gave it to me sometime after we passed the city gates. It's been a very good harvest in time, in these pleasant climes. In the south of Benvatio, a warm and pleasant valley gives good reason for the crisp and delicious harvest this season~"The warm, light tone of her small talk and the small, pleased smile on her face belie the utterly bizarre tension the spider holds towards the little green creecher. There's an unnatural stillness to her body as if she's holding her breath and waiting for something to happen. And ever so slightly, her almost closed eyes reveal a hint of gold as she watches...
>>6470129"You know," Jorogumo says aloud to nobody. "When I was younger, I used to jump out from mirrors and scare people. Nowanites, I just jump out from the darkness to do it.

"What a cruel FRAUD have I made of myself, the OBJECT of PRAISE and CHEERS not meant for one such as me. A mere FRAUD, a mockery of a hero, mediocre when both vanquishing the foe and healing the ally. Unable to measure to even the WEAKEST of the rest...""..YET!" he states, finger pointing up in a sign of clarity."Perhaps, such COWARDICE can be made useful...used to teach a GOLEM what not to do - ways in not to act.

Then, in a flash, he rears back his leg, and punts his insectoid golem like some manner of ball, sendng it flying over the horizon. With a wave of his arms into a v-like shape, his magical mantle falling to the ground as if by pure will."Your FINAL GIFT...will NOT GO UNUSED!"

It hangs still in the middle of the air, seemingly by its own power like a painted crescent moon. Then it vanishes, like the wink of an eye, and Jorogumo steps into the light, her face half cast in shadows."'Never send a machine to do a man's job,'" Joro recites as she waves her pointer finger in a circle. It looks like she's trying to hold a good-natured grin, but it looks downright menacing in the current circumstances. Or perhaps that is her intention all along. "Come, now. I can't stand to see such a man of wealth and taste such as yourself left out in the cold." Jorogumo steps closer and leans forward with her arms down. "After all, your DECISIVE and TIMELY actions have saved Ophelia's life and safeguarded yourself and Conquest from utter RUIN. Our true celebrations have yet to begin; I'd rather you not be so maudlin as you enjoy a spot of rotisserie chicken."She walks about in a half-circle around him, her body slouched over and head kept turned towards him, like some prowling pertinacious predator on patrol.

Somewhere along the way back, he wrapped himself up in what may as well be a burlap sack, which has done little to alleviate his shivering.

"I felt... like I'd been flayed open, scraped out and poured into one of those lamplike oddities-- you know, the ones with the undulating wax-- and there I was kept on display, my prison occasionally tapped on by wicked, painted fingers. After what felt like eternity, I'd found myself back on my own two feet, a good distance from the battle, the recall itself only taking no longer than the usual thirty or so seconds. But what I was put through...""A novel experience, 2 out of 10. Would definitely not recommend.

Yet my very presence inflicts LOSSES upon the righteous - for did the woman of the bog not leave this party upon my appearance? NO OTHER ANSWER MAY SUFFICE. It is the simple truth...and thus, but a single path to forgiveness remains..."He declares, before entering a herculean pose, flexing his muscles."POWER! Through STRENGTH, mine own arms may overtake the losses caused by my hideous, deformed being. To merely aid is insufficient...I must SHINE! SHINE LIKE GOLD!"
For the Merchandising, if we get it early on like the Mission Rewards bonus like a long term investment and if each of us 20 divers gets in at least one idea (maybe even five good ideas selected out of all of us), we could corner the market with funny toys and get a lot of coreshards to spend in the shopping phase, which is arguably the most important and 2nd most fun part of our efforts in buildcrafting. We don't get enough money to fulfill all our hearts desires and the blood of even a 1000 coreshards is nothing. More money is good neat in general. Bloody Mary and Ichor and Sand are a toss up, but I think Ichor and Sand are better for its flexibility (ie. not needing a Blood spell to use) and it's a GILKALOR HUNKER OF YOUR OWN.

Compensation simply stores the Folly removed as Compensation stacks, allowing you to roll a free coreshard deposit upon reaching 13 stacks (then removing all compensation stacks).

You cannot move or cast spells while you have an enemy shackled. You may unshackle an enemy at any time as a free action.

A player may hold a maximum of 3 Overclock actions.] The user overcharges the electrical systems within their own body, allowing them to move with inhuman celerity. >Seaspit [ELEMENT: WATER] [Runespace: 2; this spell Dampens enemies hit, granting them 3 damage vulnerability to Electric and Ice element damage, but 2 damage resistance to Fire element damage this round.]For generations, mages were unable to understand why the water from their spells was unable to conduct electricity, unlike the genuine article. They had thought it was some difference in essence, when in reality, it was as simple as adding a little salt
>>6471915>Carinaid [ELEMENT: STELLAR] [Runespace: 3, PWR: 1; Heals allies proportional to spell PWR. When you cast this spell on an ally, roll 1d5. In addition to this spell's other effects, you may choose to increase this spell's healing output by the rolled amount, or remove elemental stacks from allies (but not enemies) equal to half that amount, rounding down, as per Purify.]It is said that the Hieroshields themselves were a revelation gifted to the hierophants, and to humanity at large, by the Lights Above. Perhaps because of this fact, Starlight seems uniquely able to restore them. >Nocturne of Ruin [Runespace: 2; When you cast this spell, lose an amount of folly of your choice, at a maximum of 3 (or this spell's PWR, whichever is lower). Then, for each Folly stack lost this way, bank 2 DMG, which may be added to your next offensive spell in any quantity desired. You must declare if and how much power you intend to add before rolling to hit.] [Tag: Orchestra]A fragment of an ancient melody, said to pacify the fickle arbiter between ambition and folly. Incomplete as it may be, it soothes the soul and loosens her clutches, at least for a time.>Dreadrain [ELEMENT: WATER] [Runespace: 3, PWR: 2; When you roll this spell's attack roll, consider the potential with a -2, -1, 0, +1, and +2 ACC modifier in addition to this spell's usual roll. For each of these possibilities that would hit, deal damage to targeted enemies equal to one quarter of this spell's PWR, rounding down. If your spell would miss, but the +ACC Dreadrain would connect, deal only this sigil's DMG for those hits and nothing else (still keeping the PWR but not elements or effects from other sigils). Overrides conventional damage sigils such as Hierosmite, but does not nullify their PWR bonus or non PWR effects. You MUST declare how many hits and how much damage you deal with this effect, or else it may be ignored at QM discretion.]Crafted by an eccentric mage obsessed with meteorological phenomena, this sigil unleashes a deluge of mana infused water, its wide scope making it nigh impossible to fully evade
>>6471917>Wail of the Wastes [ELEMENT: ICE] [Runespace: 5, PWR: 4; Deals damage equal to spell PWR to enemies hit. Additionally, inflicts a number of Ireice stacks equal to the enemy's MOV, or this spell's PWR, whichever is lower. Ireice acts as normal ice stacks, but deals 1 damage upon being spent as per Ice, or may be removed with no MOV penalty for a total of 3 damage per stack.]Etched and only slightly altered from the unholy symbols worshipped by the barbaric mutant tribes wandering the Northern Wastes, this devious effect shrouds its target in malignant, borderline sentient ice. >Short Circuit [ELEMENT: LIGHTNING] [Runespace: 3, PWR: 3; upon a successful hit, apply Lightning stacks equal to this spell's PWR. If this target already has lightning stacks sufficient for a stun, deal damage to that enemy equal to double this spell's PWR. Overkill is converted to DMG.]In the earliest ages of Magitech, the progenitors of integrating circuitry into magic engineering were plagued by constant issues with overload and melting components. Seeing this, a clever combat mage created this sigil to weaponize that phenomenon.FORMS>Angelflight [Runespace: 3, 1d10, Range: Melee; before casting, charge up to 4 tiles forward in one of the spell trajectory directions, or until you are adjacent to your target. This spell gains one PWR for each tile traveled this way. Upon reaching that destination and casting this spell, you may opt to target both yourself and an ally. This spell cannot target enemies.]This spell manifests the caster's mana as radiant twin wings, launching them forward before dissolving into pure, positive mana.>Tremors of the Tyrant [ELEMENT: EARTH] [Runespace: 4, 3d5-3, Range: Melee; This sigil contributes to this spell's ramping effect cost. Upon full cast (but not in passing via partial casts such as Dinadan) this spell operates at +1 melee range and targets all enemies (and no more than one ally) within that melee range. This stacks with the MELEE range bonuses from equipment (e.g. Spellsword <Fangbreaker>). If this spell targets fewer than 3 enemies, increase this spell's PWR that cast by 2.] [Tag: Circumspecta]A grand spell form crafted by a brilliant mage using the bezoar of the largest Gilkalor seen on the surface in two generations. For the instance it casts, the user bears absolute dominion over their immediate surroundings.MODIFIERS>Virtuecanta <Prudence> [Runespace: -1; +2 range, +1 ACC. Whenever you cast a spell, declare all enemies and allies you intend to target with it. If you fail to target each of them, you may not perform any actions or MOV actions on your next turn.] A sigil made by a careful mage for modest, precise casters who rely on good planning over blind luck.
>>6471918>Starsigns [ELEMENT: STELLAR] [Runespace: 1, PWR: -1; When you cast this spell, you may expend a MOV action, gaining +1 PWR, +2 ACC, and 1 star stack] [Tag: Contract]>Reckless [Runespace: -2; When you cast this spell, take 3 DMG and reduce your max HP this round by 3. This damage cannot be negated by damage resistance but may be blocked by barrier. The max HP reduction prioritizes HP already lost, but any extant HP in that 3 malus will be restored when your max HP is returned to normal.] [Tag: Battlebloodied]This spell completely cuts out the typical mana restaining sigils that prevent the magic from blowing back at the caster, saving Runespace at the cost of inflicting incredible pain>Oblivious [Runespace: -2; When you cast this spell, gain the Oblivious status for 2 rounds, making you unable to produce partial illumination] [Tag: Circumspecta]A sigil compression system that causes unusual mana fluctuations in the air around the caster, making it difficult to see even their immediate surroundings. >Bloodlet [ELEMENT: HAEMOMANCY] [Runespace: 0; +2 PWR, +1 ACC; Whenever you cast this spell, take 2 points of damage for each instance of this sigil. This bypasses Barrier, as well as all damage resistances (but not vulnerabilities). On rounds you cast this spell, you may not receive healing from any source except for this spell's Haemomancy elemental effect. May be taken up to 3 times. If this damage would ever be sufficient to break your Hieroshield, you may not cast it.] [Tag: Battlebloodied]A sigil older than almost every modern spell, still not fully understood. Grants potency in exchange for the user's own life force.Oh, and I forgot:>>6471914 MAGECLOTH>Eagledown [+1 PWR and +1 ACC to all spells cast. -1HP]A magecloth embedded with the down of a Razoreagle. Its unique mana adds a handy touch of offensive potency, but the deceptively sharp edges of the feathers grate against the protective field created by a Hieroshield ringThat's all for now, folks! Rentry will be updated soon with the new goodies. For existing players, because of the sheer volume of new sigils you unlocked this mission, I'll give you all FOUR DAYS to plan and build your loadouts before mission select. As always, new players (or returning ones that missed the last mission) will be allowed to hop in with their new builds as late as DEPLOYMENT, while players who participated this mission may select a Paper while using last mission's loadout. Thank you for playing, and happy spellcrafting! Let me know if you have any questions.

>>6471915Oops! I forgot >Body Flicker [Runespace: 2, PWR: 2; Once per round, when you cast this spell, regardless of targets, gain Dodge stacks equal to half this spell's PWR. Whenever you would be hit by an enemy attack, you may expend Dodge stacks, raising your DC against that attack (but not others) by one per stack.] [Tag: Aegis]A sigil created originally for war between human warlords by shinobi in the far east, this special movement technique allows the user to effortlessly dodge fatal attacks

Sometimes, true power lies in simplicity.>Slagfire [ELEMENT: FIRE] [Runespace: 2, PWR: 2; Deals damage equal to spell PWR. Then, on each tile where a target was successfully hit, leaves a lingering Flame with PWR equal to half this spell's PWR that persists one round after casting. Enemies who enter or pass through those tiles (but not enemies who already occupied them leaving them) are hit with an unavoidable fire element damage equal to the Flame's PWR and one fire stack.]Modeled after the signature weapon of a waning empire in the near east, this sigil leaves a glob of viscous mana capable of burning even after the caster stops actively maintaining it>Sensitive [Runespace: 1, -1 PWR; you can choose to blacklist any number of targets, ignoring them when plotting your spell's trajectory. Incompatible with Wyrmbreath, Prudence, and Light of the Burning King]A sigil crafted by a humble warrior, made for mages who prioritize careful planning and precise action over rash shots into the dark.OLD ONES BOX>Sacrescepter <Hanged Sister's Sorrow> [Runespace: 14; Whenever you end your turn without gaining Hanged stacks, gain two Hanged stacks. Whenever you cast a spell with runespace lower than your Hanged stacks, take damage equal to your Hanged stack total, then reset it to zero. You may expend all Hanged stacks before being required to whenever you cast a spell. Whenever you expend hanged stacks, bank the amount of damage taken (not counting overkill) and add it to the PWR of your next spell.]A simple wooden staff fashioned from an old wooden support beam and a single piece of frated rope nailed to the top and wrapped down the length of the scepter. To hold it in your hands is to feel a sadness and dread unknown to mortals who still draw breath.>>Solace of the Sleeping Hound [Runespace: -2. You may not take any other negative runespace sigils on this spell. For the sake of cross-spell compatibility, this is considered a Virtuecanta. Whenever you cast this spell, lose one quickstep stack. If you do not have any, gain one negative ice stack instead.]Mercy offered at the price of nothing but your devotion, and a little bit of your time.
>>6471932>Dictate of the Burning King [ELEMENT: FIRE] [Runespace: 3, 2d6, AoE Range: 6/2; Any modifiers to this spell's range contribute to the 6 and are likewise effectively halved. You may under no circumstances target more than two individuals with this spell, regardless of whether they are enemies or allies. You do not target tiles with this spell other than those occupied by its targets. For the purposes of cross-compatibility requirements, this sigil is considered a Sinsigil. Despite this, it may be taken alongside another sigil with "Burning King" in its name (but only on the same spell).] [SYNERGY: If this spell has Light of the Burning King, you may illuminate up to 4 tiles within its Area of Effect. This does not target those tiles or their occupants.]"Words of the False Sun/Once revered as absolute/Left to die alone."

>>6471982Let's see what OP says. I doubt he'll make hone THAT shit, though.
>>6471981>>6471973You're confusing Hone with Ubersmite for the cooldown gimmick (it's only Ubersmite so far). Hone Bullrush, Hone Nightwatcher, etc. multicasting every turn has been working for Aliciel, Willis, et. al.

IT IS HERE!!"Virgo slams her hands upon Kudryavka's desk, sleeves flying to reveal stone arms worn and polished as though a river ran through them for years. A grey finger lightly passes over the financial typos over to the corrected final balance: 26 coreshards."Poverty! Tis' the scent of Poverty most foul! Lack of wealth dulls the mind and fills the soul with Suffering and Envy. This will not do! For the time being, I shall assist you all in purging this sin until all may eat and drink their fill.

In addition to this spell's other effects, you may choose to increase this spell's healing output by the rolled amount, or remove elemental stacks from allies (but not enemies) equal to half that amount, rounding down, as per Purify. You may expend Star stacks to increase the result of this roll, up to its maximum output of 5 (spending one Star stack per number of increase).]It is said that the Hieroshields themselves were a revelation gifted to the hierophants, and to humanity at large, by the Lights Above.

When she does eventually come out, thankfully masked this time, it's very concerning when she starts giggling like a young girl who just got a date."A new gun. Just for me. Wondrous." With how gently she's holding it, you'd think she was handling a newborn child. "This is what I've wanted for years. Centuries. Eons. It is about time I was given what is rightfully mine."

After the delivery of the new material (and the removal of almost all of the coreshards in the treasury), the little star warrior is struck once more by the same otherwordly mood that had held him after the party had returned from the ferocious battle with the Gilkalor. Following the unpacking of the new equipment and sigils that had been earned or purchased, Poyo could be found in the main lodge holding one of the newly minted sigils in his hands, simply staring at it with glazed eyes as he held it above his head. How long he had remained as such was anyone's guess, but it could be surmised to be many hours as a kind soul had left a plate of foodstuffs beside him, the plate still full and the food untouched and cold.Suddenly he sprung back to life, a hidden purpose burning in the eyes that had looked so empty not moments before as he quickly jumped off the table and set off towards the armoury. A loud cacophony was heard, much like the one that had preceded his initial introduction into the Dawnseekers as he eventually could be seen dragging a new set of equipment out of the mess he had made of the equipment storage. A Sword and Shield combination, wrapped in a dark cape balanced precariously on top of a mighty metal carapace, one that would be far too big for the little creature to wear, though he seemed to give such thoughts no mind as he hauled his cargo towards one of the nearby workbenches. With great effort he heaved the whole package up onto the surface of the table before he used a nearby chair to climb up after it to begin his work.Carefully balancing the oversized chisel and hammer used to inscribe the runic powers into their foci, the little puffball set to work carving out the mysterious sigils in patterns he both knew and didn't know, his hands moving almost as if directed by a distant puppetmaster towards some unknown purpose. More and more etchings made their way onto the handle of the sword, more than should be concievable to fit on such a weapon. And yet the mysterious hand guiding him made him snake the signs in such a way that it was all made possible.The work was grueling and the progress slow to ensure the correct balance was maintained throughout the ritualistic event, but eventually he set aside the tools and wiped away the sweat that had gathered on his little brow, satisfied at last with his delicate work. The hilt of the sword was now more carving than handle and the shield too now carried it's own intricate, though less complex, inscriptions in a spiral that moved outward from it's centre. But it was yet to be truly finished. The final touch required... sacrifice.Poyo rose to his feet and wandered over to the blade, and with one swift motion he cut his little hand open on the sharp edge and bathed the sigils in his own blood, an offering to unlock the great power within. His blood flowed into the carvings, the mysterious power within closing his wound as it accepted his offering gleefully.
>>6472389With everything now in place, Poyo took position on the side of the workbench opposite his gathered pile of equipment. He braced himself, taking a deep breath to calm himself before he began inhaling the objects before him. A stormwind began to menace the mostly quiet room as tools and material were blown around as the prepared items disappeared into his maw one by one. When the final piece vanished down his gullet, a bright glow engulfed him and he leapt into the air as he began a remarkable transformation.His skin, previously a brilliant viridian, changed tone completely to become a bright magenta. His little jester's hat was no more, replaced instead by a black metal helmet with gold trimmings connected to a sharp collection of ornately decorated interlocking metal plates that completely covered his back, and anyone closely familiar with the ancient history of the Eastern world would recognize the gaudy decorations that covered his new armour as belonging to one of the ancient dynasties of the old Celestial Empire that once ruled the vast fertile plains with an iron fist.From the top of his new helmet, mounted in a delicate holder, sprouted two equally long Phoenix feathers, red as the breaking dawn as they rose upwards before curving backwards over his head, and in his hand was not a sword, but a polearm of fierce potency almost three times his size. Locked in the very centre of the menacing weapon lay a crystal that swirled with a deep crimson power, a large crack leaking dangerous power out into the world around it.He landed softly back on the table once more as the transformation ended, stretching himself lightly as if he was trying to losen his muscles after a millenia long rest. The halberd would look heavy to the little creature for an outside observer, but felt as light as a feather to him as he toyed with it's weight in both of his hands before he swung it around himself with all his might. The force of the swipe caused a shockwave in the air that blew any loose items on the tables away and shattered the windows above. As the shards of glass rained down from above, Poyo slammed the pommel of his halberd down onto the table, the force of the blow enough to slightly shake the building and to leave a sizeable dent in the surface of the desk. He felt an unrivalled power welling up within him, a strength which held no equal on this Earth nor any other. Enough to take on the world itself, and perhaps even to win such a contest.A rather uncharacteristic smile crept over his face, one filled with more cruelty than one would've found there just a few moments prior. This would do nicely, well enough indeed to...His stomach growled in annoyance at being neglected for so long, and his smile turned into a scowl at his own forgetfulness. He fearlessly dove off the side of the bench and began his quick march towards the kitchen to raid the pantry.

>>6472458I went searching through the previous threads for mentions of Haemomancy before I put together the spell and nowhere did it seem to say it won't stack it's healing effect if you have multiple Haemomancy sigils in a spell. If we are to take it as read in the rules you can only not stack it through the free imbue with Elementalist.That said, after checking again, no one seems to actually have run a spell with multiple Haemomancy effects on it before, so Hierophant has to make a call on what's what with that.>>6472476I prefer to keep Unstable from a thematic standpoint because I like the presentation of a complex spell like this coming with the drawback of potentially misfiring at the absolute worst of times, doubly so since it also uses the Pride Sinsigil (thrice so even when you consider what character I'm attempting to ape). It's a very cinematic experience when you whiff the attack you expect to be a killing blow and then immediately eat shit afterwards. Also if I drop below 24 power I drop to a lower damage bracket with Dreadrain since the next number that is cleanly divisible by 4 is 20.I didn't put Ice on Mandate of Heaven because I thought it could increase my blink range, but rather because I expect I might be doing some normal moves in tandem with it as I don't really want to cast Unrivalled Warrior on just nothing if I can avoid it. And depending on if I refund 1 or 3 health on it's cast I might need to refit the spell to contain healing, and in that case I'd rather keep Ephemeral Step for it's utility over trading it for Bullrush + Restore, even if I end up moving less tiles for it.>>6472532Man, people here just do cool art like it's nothing while all I can do is write too much.
>>6472633You can't repeat elemental effects even if the element tags repeat, so if you got one Bloodlet or three, it's the same Haemo effect. Same with the other elements, Lightning doesn't apply more than once on a sick Arcing Voltsphere Voltvolley spell. You're not getting back a cool 3 HP per enemy hit with Bloodlet x3, unfortunately.
>>6472411I recommend swapping Body Flicker with Recover to have an option to recharge, but if the intent is to purposely have a limited number of casts....Overclock will be better for mobility and remove the need for PWR, which could be spent on imbue fire or some other element stacking.

So the optimal turn order would look something like: Attack Target > Charge Übersmock twice on cooldown turn > Attack Target > Ignore Übersmite cooldown, move and heal + loot something > Return to start. It'll give me a six health buffer to work with if I manage to cast both UW's successfully, and the 23DC plus whatever dodge stacks I have should keep me safe from any attacks when I'm low on health.

The boar headed barbarian has switched his equipment around once more; in the polar opposite of last hunt, he's traded the slim friction-treated plate for heavy lamellar armor, gone in for a tuneup since the last mission, even the boarskin on his back woven with tiny steel plates. His pair of gauntlets have also been exhanged, for a single massive axe laden with runes and chained to his wrists, and a tiny buckler to compliment his defenses. All in all, it's a return to an old form with a twist, an old hog with new tricks.Name: Warpig, the Invincible>Gear:Hieroshield: Integushell (17 HP, 3 MOV, 10 DC)Focus: Fangbreaker (12 RS, +2 DC, +2 ACC, +1 PWR, +1 Melee Range, -1 MOV)Magecloth: Steelsewn(+2 HP, +1 DC)13 HP, 3 MOV, 9 DCPhiltreliquor: Manhattan (Free Action, 1 Use, Target 6 Tiles, ACC 3D4+2, 20 Damage/3 Fire on Hit, 5 Damage/2 Fire On Miss)Spellpick: Skullbuster (RNG Melee (2), ACC 2D5+3, DMG 6, Loot Enemy on Kill)Research Paper: A Summary of Modern Advancements in Output Amplification (+1 PWR, +1 PWR if RS>=10)>Spells:Massive Hand of God (RS10, RNG Melee (2), ACC 2d5+7, PWR 22)Effects: Ubersmite Form: WreatheModifiers: Soloist, Shortcutter, Barrage, Cleave, Oblivious, Delicate, Bloodlet x3Elements: Haemomancy Description: Deal 3 Hits with 11 Damage each, Cleaves, Suffer 6 HP Damage, Can't be healed this round, Can't cast spells until end of next round, Gain Oblivious for 2 roundsPerilous Idiot's Game (2 RS, 6 PWR)Effects: Quickstep, RestoreForm: Wreathe Modifiers: Oblivious, Sprawling Elements: N/ADescription: Heal 6 HP, Gain 6 Quickstep, Gain Oblivious for 2 rounds

>>6472005>>6471996Jorogumo quietly stares down at the starpriest with a look of faint derision. But even for Jorogumo, who could want for little nothing more than simple, mindless violence and the instinct to fill a bottomless maw which desires everything...Looking at the avid cultist fills the great spider with an even more pointless, self-destructive *jealousy.* Agitation and rivalry. She lets the hostility simmer inside her. But what more could she want? There's nothing she could want.Jorogumo opens her mouth as if to say something extremely rude and/or self-aggrandizing, but all that restless energy and rage lets her come to an epiphany. A rage which clears her vision instead of blinding her."You speak truer than you know," she says instead. As a matter of fact, what this cultist is saying is entirely agreeable and pleasant. And it was also *very funny* to see Parsley get blown up like that. Jorogumo's hooded expression changes to a placid amused smirk.She'll play along for now."'致富光荣.' Yes, indeed, you speak very wisely on matters pecuinary, O Shepherding one." Jorogumo raises her pointer finger. "Apart from death and ruin and murder, poverty is one of the strongest motivators in this entire world. It is a thing to be banished and trampled and crushed like grapes in a winepress. Gluttony is not necessarily a sin nor is merely being hungry an evil act. We ought to eat, drink, and be merry for our time together, for this joy is will stay with us for all of our time together under the sun.""Let us take what is ours, chew and eat our fill, okkē?" Jorogumo makes a vague gesture, showing her open palms like dark gray armored guantlets to the starpriest in a apparently welcoming gesture."Food for thought, yum yum." There's a weird chittering noise from beneath the hood. "Anyway, I wouldn't think too hard about how it works. They're all just fancy-sounding words that came from someone else. I'm just hungry a lot, haha."
Jorogumo comes in from the cold after bothering Ptolemy to not even the smallest of all avails. She has a particular grin on her face as she stands there with her foot in the door, letting the cold in, apparently waiting for something......But too much time passed. One of the wait staff tells her to close the damn door already. The hat woman sits down with a pout and a vanilla ice cream next to her apparent copy of the Jorogumo in the horned hood.It would have been all for the night except for a knock at the door. The hatted one rises while the horned one leans in with excitement.A veritable army of Kumos comes marching in through the door, each holding platters full of deliciously juicy and plump rotisserie chickens, escalops of chickens doused in wine, cauldrons of milky white bone broth and reddish blood soup, and a great deal many other meat treats. Following them are what can only be described as a *third* then a *fourth* Jorogumo, both in matching dark gray and gold yukatas."ahem. sorry, everybody, there was a problem with the kitchen arrangements," Kumo says aloud. "the proprietor was not very receptive for a family visit, but! i managed to get a hold of someone else to host our meal!"The fourth Jorogumo(?) waves kindly to everyone, face filling up with red and looking quite pensive at the suddenly attention."Finally." The one with the hat claps her hands together."FINALLY," the hooded one says in a borderline demonic drawl.>>6472226"Come here, O Innocent child," the hatted Jorogumo announces. She strides over to Thirza and pinches her on the cheek and dotes on her and pats her on the head. "You are a truly WANDAFUL and spectacular child and we COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU!!! Your prudent spellcrafting and timely actions have redeemed our human endeavors, filled the Goinkalor's breath with blood and woe, and saved the entire city from the great menace of the surpassing dark!""Everyone! This feast of the world is in honor for our great and wonderful newcomer THIRZA!" "O Innocent one...Pride of the Dawnseekers...Of legendary accuracy...Of spectacular bloodshed...Mistress of the Garotte...Praise Thirza!Your glory rises!""The blood and bones represent the slaying of the great beast and the chickens remind me of Wyvernlings! She who sows blood reaps a ripe harvest! Yum! Doesn't sight fill you to the brim with glee? This feast won't be the last you'll ever see!""Rip! Tear! Chew! Leave not a morsel before your eyes. This is my bounty to celebrate a bountiful Late Harvest! Enjoy a filling feast of the world, my friends! My friendly friends... Haha!"
"Oh woaw, Auntie..." The fourth and third talk amongst themselves. "So these are the Dawnseekers you've been talking about in your letters... And little Kumo too. They look like quite the strange bunch...""Don't worry, they're harmless... (mostly.) Please continue to be a wonderful hostess for the night, dear, yes?" The Jorogumo in her own gray robes leans in, looking at her slightly taller copy. "I keep taking care of these stupid creatures. And protecting them from the cruelty of the world, and their own mistakes. Just pathetic human beings. But they happen to be my friends.""I, er... Okkē???" Not Jorogumo takes a step back, then turns away from her frankly freakish godmother, claps her hands together, and skitters off to help the Kumos serve the Silverharp regulars, taking her mind off such troubling words...>>6471921An enormous pale woman with luxurious black hair hiding her eyes.

The earth trembles. For a moment, as you merrily drink and feast within the halls of the Silverharp, it feels as though the Gilkalor was there with you again, slamming its gargantuan claws into the earth and blotting out the sky with its scales. The mana-lamps flicker and dim, an incredible surge of magic blooming out from the cracks within the wooden floors of the tavern. You look outside and see much the same— buildings shaking, some collapsing beneath the might of the disturbance, children crying, hurried to safety by panicking parents as the capitol wavers above the hateful, loathesome Core. Eerie purple light breaks through with a dreadful crack, a plume of dust and debris pushed up into the sky by an ice-cold updraft of caustic miasma, killing an old man where he stood, petrified into bone and corecrust before he could even move away, his face locked permanently in a ghoulish mask of utter, abject horror.The mana of the world has become hostile. Hateful, it warps away from the touch of those who would try to tame it.ADJUSTED LOOT TABLES:CORESHARD DEPOSIT1-5: 10-20 coreshards6-10: 20-40 coreshards11-12: 60-100 coreshards13: hieroshield ring/casting focus14: sigil (random type)15: sigil (choose type)MOOK1-10 (10-20 Coreshards)11-13 (20-40 Coreshards)14 (Random Equipment or Sigil)15 (Random Sigil Type)INTERMEDIATE MONSTER1-5: 10-20 coreshards6-10: 20-40 coreshards11-12: 50-80 coreshards13: sigil (random)14: sigil (type of choice)15: Equipment (random type)ELITE MONSTER1-6: 20-30 Coreshards7-10: 40-50 Coreshards11-12: 60-80 Coreshards13: Sigil (random type)14: Equipment (random type)15: Sigil (type of choice)~Because of the large quantity of returning divers who failed to submit their builds, I'm providing an extension.

>>6473251“'Terra Damnata — the land would prefer that we die,'” Jorogumo repeats to herself as she surveys the damage, moving among the wreck and ruin of the human world like a silent shadow...Dark skittering shapes swarm over the nearby buildings. search and rescue team, ho! But the night is long and it will take still more time to recover the dead and those who have long yet to die...
>>6473251The soldier's attention drifts towards all of the commotion happening outside. It managed to finally get her to shut up about guns and THE WAR (patent pending on which war. to anyone who listens to her babbling, they all blend together into a slurry of nonsense that can only be described as 'war talk').Buildings collapsing. Humans screaming and weeping. Hateful light. Even death, in front of an old man turning into naught but a statue of agony and dread. That last one, seeing the old man dying, actually gets a sick little laugh out of the rat.Even with the mask on, it's painfully obvious that she's smiling. No, maybe not, maybe it's a sneer. Maybe both? A smile and sneer mixed, congealed, into one confusing to read expression. Like mixing paint together until all that's left is a brackish brown. "About time. This is a new dawn, my comrades. Where only those with the proper will and ambition will survive. Is this not a beautiful sight? Why, my eyes are watering right now. I know you can not see them, so please. Take my word on it.""Ah. I wish we had an artist amongst us. Such a sight must be committed to physical memory. Perhaps I should be the one to paint, while I still have the time to take in all of the sights and sounds..."

Two weeks have passed since the Outpour, an unprecedented eruption of mana from the abyss to the surface of the world. While there have been some minor disturbances of similar nature here and there, almost all of them have been in core-poisoned lands robbed of the light by clouds, smog, warp-disturbances, the wailing darkness of the Northern Wastes, or the smog-smothered base of the Houcolon volcano. Yet here, in broad daylight, the Core has made its move. Some imagine it to be the end of the world. Still, as you all assemble in the meeting room, Kudryavka seems… chipper? Of course, there is some trace of that ever-present anxiety, but, surprisingly, her general attitude seems quite relaxed. “Well, it’s that season again,” she smiles, snapping her fingers, sending her makeshift Runeglove sparking to action, fake webs lining the corners of the room, the lights dimming from a radiant yellow to a rich, candle-like orange. The good doctor pulls a mask over her face, the towering antlers ghoulish visage of a Wendigo looming across the table as a stark, unnatural backlight shrouds her in darkness and illuminates the rest of the room. “The season has come, of dread and terror… the fun, fake kind.” She pulls up her monster mask, revealing a small, apologetic smile beneath, “I know everyone’s anxious about… well, everything, but the readings have stabilized, at least for now. The only thing we really can do is… what we always do. Look into it. Kill monsters. Save the world. Besides, if it really is the end of the world…” her voice weakens, her posture slumping a bit, causing her mask to slide back down her head. Then, as if animated by dark magic, her body pivots upward, individually wrapped confections flying freely from her stuffed labcoat sleeves, raining down on you all as she makes her grand flourish, “WE SHOULD GO DOWN HAVING FUN!”With a snicker, she chucks a stack of papers on the table, chucking an alchemical tincture onto the ground once all the documents are safely passed around. A surprisingly pleasant aroma of nutmeg and cinnamon fills the room, with Kudryavka seeming to have gone out of her way to make her dramatic exit smell nice— for indeed, she has completely vanished.

There are many facing their own trials in these times, and many places to share in Her blessings. She feels this is not the first time circumstances have turned her attentions away from the Old One, and it may not be a coincidence after all. Still, the Dawnseekers could not be said to be prepared to face Her trials in the first place. Why, they lack even a single sigil with Her moniker, scandalous! She should at least prepare some appropriate attire for any others who wish for formal worship at a later date, whether on this mission or some other invitation."The Headless, is it?" For Virgo, emissaries are not uncommon figures. They were the first to inflict wounds upon her save for the Crimson Star. Not that they did much, the poison failing to penetrate her corrupted skin. Still, their claws and weapons were far more deadly than mere steel, and her barriers are sure to have much to block.

Thirza, true to theme, votes for the Pumpkin
>>6473608>The Headless RiderAfter admiring Kudryavka's theatrics, Cynthia's eye drifts to the crimson envelope, it seeming to remind her of something, but she disregards it. "We simply can't let an ancient spider-person of dubious origin wander around the capital! The people have enough to worry about already."From the few glimpses that the Dawnseekers caught of Cynthia over the past week, they may have gleaned that there was much on her mind. But here in the thoroughly spookified meeting room, they see that her discontentment has transformed into resolution. Though they have no way of knowing, her fate has been sealed by a private letter traveling through the post, and if they had opened the envelope, they could have read the following:------------------------------------------------Dearest Mother,No doubt you have been agonizing over my well-being as you awaited a reply to your warm and heartfelt letter. In spite of all that's happened, I'm telling you now that I've resolved to continue associating with "thugs" and with working in an "ignoble and ghastly profession," and you should know that your threats of family expulsion don't have the power over me that you think they do.In the past months I have been mortified by glimpses of hell I could have never imagined, and yet in contending with them, I have tasted things sweeter than any luxury you can tempt me with. Surely you heard of the defeat of the Gilkalor, but did you also hear the cheers of the crowd that welcomed us home, even from your high tower? Until now, I might as well have been in a dream, but seeing that real admiration proved that what we're doing is genuine and worthwhile. Compared to that, any admiration towards our family is vacuous.Another point: if you had anything to do with the retirement of Miss Hestri Boullencourt, my good friend, I don't think I could ever forgive you. So what if I befriended a "swamp hag," and a fellow "disgraced noblewoman"? She graciously rescued me countless times, and despite her idiosyncrasies, I'd hardly call her a "hag." If it was your hand at work, consider it a failure, since I'll be picking up her staff and carrying forward her service, finally putting our family's spirit to good use. My team needs it more than ever, especially if the world is ending, but we'll be contending with that more than I suspect you ever will.If we never meet again, send my regards to the twins and whatever far-flung work Benvatio has them doing nowadays, and to my favorite family friends (especially Mr. Beagle; I always liked that funny man).Regards,Your Daughter, Miss Cynthia Lionella Cloudsley
Poyo stood motionless on one of the windowsills in the meeting room, candidly displaying his complete disinterest in Kudryavka's shenanigans as he observed the comings and goings of the town outside. A fortnight had passed since the Earth had cracked due to the outburst from the ancient power that dwelled in the underground, and reconstruction efforts were still ongoing in most parts of the capital city as life hesitantly tried to return to some form of normalcy. He observed a rather large caravan belonging to the Weaver's guild as it passed by with, what must be said to be, a very impressively sized escort, his brow furrowed in concetration as he cast his stern gaze over soldier and mage alike. Assessing their strength, judging their potential...He found them all to be wanting, his mouth twisting into a deep sneer as the three carriages and their escorts disappeared down the road. A thought that did not belong to him, but to whatever spirit that had called to him from within the runes, washed over his mind. A thought that asked if this truly was what could pass for strength in this age? The thought soured his mood, and his sneer dipped further down into a deep scowl as yet more soldiers passed by the window, this time in a tight formation and garnished in the Republic's own livery. The glare he cast after them as they marched onward was so intense it left deep imprints upon the glass.The long, red Phoenix feathers on Poyo's helmet wafted slowly back and forth, a mighty feat considering the windows were shut and the air within the meeting room motionless. Well, not totally motionless. The good Doctor had detonated something as she withdrew back to whatever hidey-hole she spends her days in, leaving the rest of the assembled to argue over which contract to handle next.This was what Poyo had waited for. He braced himself as he built power in his little legs, before making a giant leap across the room to land directly on the table in the very centre. His ornate armour clattered as he wandered through the paperwork, observing the bids that had been presented to secure their valuable services. Two weeks he had waited for the power that slept in the Earth to break lose on the city and allow him to test his strength; two weeks he had been denied, instead having to settle for breaking dozens of wooden practice targets in the training grounds as the Core refused to answer his challenge. Now, finally, he would have his due.He very quickly found a satisfying contract, something that made the presence in the runes tremble in excitement. A headless, eight legged beast, imbued with the power of ancient gods so strong it even radiated out from the magi-graphic image. Mighty. Powerful. Potent.Poyo summoned forth his halberd, impaling the image on the table with it's spike and nearly cleaving the table in two with the force of the blow. A signal clear as day: This was to be his prey, and there could be no substitute.>>6473608>The Headless Rider

Her outfit remains the same: half of her face is covered by a scarf, and most of her boddy is hidden away beneath a large, snow-white cloak, with little but small shorts underneath. However, where her skin was once a uniform pale blue, a massive scar-like pattern runs all the way down part of the left side of her body, black and red entertwining in a most monstruous display."...I'm back."One could swear that, beneath the scarf, her lips were raised in a smile.

For the last twenty minutes, the soldier was absently picking through her meal. Despite all the options presented to her in the tavern, despite all the treats she could have, she decided to eat something that could only loosely be described as food. Her plate is flooded with sludge more in common with sewer water than gravy, bits of off-color meat, and hunks of mushy beans. Waiting for a mission to start is always the most mind-numbing part of the job for her.Her mask and helmet are, finally, off. Soft pink rodentine ears poke from the top of her head. They've flattened against her head as she endures more of her ration (which, as anyone could tell you, is solely her fault. No one knows where she got this ration from. A personal stash?)"Mmh." She mumbles. The self-inflicted culinary wound, right to her taste buds, might be the only thing grabbing any of her interest during the waiting period.That is...until a certain door opens.>>6474117That mask and helmet are slapped on in the blink of an eye when she spots a familiar face. If one was bold enough to imply so, it was almost as if she was happy to see a familiar face. If one was suicidally bold, it would not be totally inaccurate to insinuate that there was also *fondness* in the soldier's expression."Well, well, well! The deserter has finally returned. Have you finally come to your senses and decided to rejoin the most moral army across the continent? Heh. It was only a matter of time, surely."Perhaps it was nice seeing a familiar face, after several had already disappeared.

There once was a god that everybody praised, but nobody loved.Before the Hierophants, before the walls, before steel and iron and bronze and copper, there was hunger. Small packs of humans, no greater than animals save for what little stones and kindling they could fashion into weapons against the night, roamed the hateful land with minds full of fear and bellies full of nothing. Some could fend well enough for themselves, fertile plains filled with fruits and game, blessed so greatly by the Lights Above that they might survive even so out in the open. Others, however, had no such luxuries, forced high and low as the mist choked the Moon out from where the food was, forcing those sad, lonely savages to the tips of mountains and the dry, hash tundra, cold, alone, and utterly, lethally starved. To them, there was only one option, one brutal salvation: The Cornucopia.An ancient thing that fashioned itself a god of plenty, the Cornucopia was cruel and tempestuous, taking advantage of the reign of beasts to take from humans their devotion, their tears, and their children, giving them in return the barest pittance of produce, keeping them just well enough to keep sacrificing. This reign continued for longer than it ever should have, clinging to the outskirts for as long as humanity starved. Eventually, however, the Cornucopia was replaced. Eventually, humanity became powerful enough to make its own miracles.Spurned, humiliated, and in its mind betrayed, reduced from a thriving plant to a withering husk, the Cornucopia never ceased its acts of malice. Rending crop fields asunder, drying canals, sucking up nutrients from the earth itself to make the humans starve, it found itself losing more and more of its authority as the masses forgot its name. Even as they starved, they didn't even think to beg for its hand. Humanity had forgotten their god, but that god had not forgotten them.
>>6474786The PUMPKIN KING is the latest emissary of the Cornucopia. Fortunately, like the deity's current state, it is… less than impressive by those standards. It is gargantuan, malicious, and utterly incapable of going anywhere or doing anything beyond its field.

And of course, it was no rarity for villages to be threatened by beasties of the dark. But this did not matter to Ptolemy - for he saw it for what it truly was; a test! Yet another test, to allow him to right his wrongs. And he would take it! Ptolemy stepped into the night, and then, summoning his power, grew iredescent golden wings from within his back, jumping into the sky with an acrobatic swirl before diving towards his newly summoned lizard - and landing squarely upon its head, almost stomping the poor thing and using it like a trampoline to land back into the ground.

>>6474964Well, that's strange. Wintry's question actually managed to knock the soldier off balance. Those horribly green eyes of hers, hidden behind the lens of her mask, dim.

Restlessness and annoyance was the best way to describe the feelings that filled Poyo as the votes were tallied one after the other as discussion and argument filled the meeting hall. While the final result would be far from a unanimous decision, it still served to deprive him of the fight his blood demanded. To rob him of his prey. Instead of taking the head of a mighty foe their party were to instead defend some small time peasants from an oversized gourd, an utterly ridiculous use of strength such as his!He spent most of the journey to their assigned target brooding silently from his self-appointed watchpost on the roof of the carriage, though how effectively this communicated his displeasure with the current circumstances was hard to tell.Eventually, after what seemed an almost endless journey from one tedium to the next, they finally arrived at their destination; a rural frontier village like any other of it's kind, save of course from the vines that covered a good portion of the buildings as they snaked in and out through doors, windows and cracks. An obvious attempt by the flora to display a measure of strength, to intimidate those of weaker mind and bodies. To break their spirits.Poyo was not impressed as he stared deep into the darkness that lay heavily over the village and it's accompanying fields, trying to discern anything of note in the shadows that swayed back and forth in the distance. Nothing of note had made itself manifest on their arrival, no vanguard advanced towards them to hold back their invasion, no generals commanding their legions to grind the fields down under their boots to drive them away. It was all in all, a moment of serious disappointment.Another scowl crept it's way over his face as he raised his arm, feeling the mysterious power within him calling out to another spirit amongst the stars. A companion of his etheral guest, one who walked the same path it had done in ages past. Now it would walk next to him in this era as well.A bright light engulfed him as the spirit manifested itself: A stallion whose coat was wreathed in crimson, an onyx black mane flowing freely across it's crest as the beast reared itself with in a majestic display of power, as if it had just now tasted freedom for the first time after years upon years in captivity. Without hesitation, Poyo mounted the steed, his steed, to no complaints from the creature, and together they charged heedlessly in to the night.>>6474787>deploy on 1>move 2B>cast ⸢Bearer of the Mandate of Heaven (False)⸥ moving 4 tiles in direction B, landing neatly in the chokepoint⸢Bearer of the Mandate of Heaven (False)⸥RESEARCH PAPERASMAOA. +1 PWREFFCT- Body Flicker [Runespace: 2, PWR: 2] [Tag: Aegis]- Restore [Runespace: 2+1, PWR: 2]FORM- Angelflight [Runespace: 3, 1d10, Range: Melee]MODIFIERS- Oblivious [Runespace: -2] [Tag: Circumspecta]- Syncope [Runespace: -1] [Tag: Orchestra]- Blunt [Runespace: -1, PWR: -1]- Imbue [WATER] [Runspace: 1]
