Regi was pretty strongly connected to you, which should make her a good candidate for learning to summon spirits.
Also, she knows a lot of stuff and would make a great adviser.

[Deave] huh... oof... why am I so tired?

[1] Probably cus I sorta zapped your essence.

[Deave] Huh?

[2] He means he took full control of your body. This is called a possession, terrible amalgam spirits which are known as devils and demons can do that with no effort at all.

[Deave] Oh... are you guys devils or demons?

[1] No, course not. I'm old but i'm not evil.

[2] And I'm just a watcher.

[Deave] Alright, I think i'm ready for you to try that genie.

[2] ...It might be of ill effect to have two complete possessions.

[Deave] N-no, i'm ready, gimme all you got!

[2] all right then.

[1] I'M DONE- no more, too much.

[2] ow ow ow

[Deave] ............ you guys are great, that was awesome.

[2] that wasn't us, that was something else... I believe that was anthyptus.

[Deave] what's that?

[1] Old old old friend of mine, from when I was still alive. He goes around and eats everything, not just meat.

[2] He is an old.... judge would be the term. Before innevitables came into existance there were amalgam spirits made by the king god, the one you met. When spirits come together like that it summons the ancient ones- like demons or devils. Anthyptus would be considered a demon in this case.

[Deave] So is anthyptus just you two merged together?

[2] Yes and no, Anthyptus is the amalgamation of all the extinct monsters from the past and a single demigod. Me and lizard father equate to that almagalm and so it would summon anthyptus, but even though it did we can also make our own sort of demon or devil... but that will take lots of shaman control, that is most likely what you need to train.

[Deave] How do I train that?

[2] Get more spirit allies, maybe practice full possession more (with more shaman input), and more ghost control in general. You can summon up any of our features through your will, that is what a spirit guardian is for.

[Deave] ...okay, now about regina...

[2] If you want her spirit you will need to go to it, you cannot summon it to you.

[Deave] sounds good. So another question, are you guys going to stick around after my current body dies?

[2] If you were to become a different body type, where you hunt a different target, You will lose your ability to hear the dead. But yes, all of your spirit guardians will be with you and will still be able to communicate with you.

[Deave] Oh... hoof, we got all this day to burn, what else should we do?

>input

Go eat! You've been comatose all day, you gotta eat something.

>>466056
SWEET. If we can get this transformation stuff under full control we might not actually need that orbital bombardment. Is Anthyptus someone we can count on to not fuck shit up if we summon him again for combat? It looks like we can easily dismiss him regardless, though.

First, breakfast. Hang out with your fams. I'd like to note that if we ever lose this body, we won't be able to keep in touch with dead friends and family. We should be careful. Maybe during our Shaman training and general bounty hunting, we can research our other targets. Maybe if we put off killing Harold until he's our last target, we can keep access to this body? I'm not sure. The alternative is finding other ways to contact the dead and keep in touch with them.

Ask Asheron if he could tell us (for free) if there are other ways of being able to talk to dead friends. Not necessarily what those other ways are, but if that information is free that's cool too.

>First, breakfast. Hang out with your fams.
Yeah, let's see what we can do to make them not sick with worry about their son turned bounty hunter turned possessed monstrous shapeshifter.

Mom will certainly want to know what that large utterly terrifying noise had been, though she may freak out a bit when she learns it was us.

>>466107

Us? It was Anthyptus! Not us! <.< >.> Not us.

>>466330
"Did you make the terrifying noise behind the house?"
"No, you can calm down, that was just an ancient all-devouring demon I summoned accidentally"

You are now in control of Abel and Rerk

[Rerk] So i just get home and i swear i hear a monster, now it sounded like deave screamed.

[Abel] This is getting outta hand, we need to move. First our son gets possessed, and now monsters are coming from the swamp.

[Rerk] Well I hope its just the boy playing a trick on us, because there is supposed to be some huge alligator that i've been trying to trap.

[Abel] Okay, well if it is let's kill it and save our son. Then we'll move.

[Rerk] Okay, i'll look at the plat book once I get a chance to head over to townhall.

>________________

>kill the monster
You think we need to be careful about that? He seemed to have trouble controlling his possession transformation powers... we might not know which one is him.

Make sure you have deave with you before you go killing any monsters. Dont want to go hurting any of his new friends. Also if he lost control of his new powers due to being a crazy kid do not want to mistake him for some crazy crab tentacle monster or anything.

Better consult genie before killing anything. OH WAIT YOU CAN'T AHAHAHA

>>466730
Yes she can. He can be in two places at once.

I do think we should at least ask the genie what's going on. It would make sure we don't attack a monster who is actually Deave.

[Agony] It seems we have been set upon this land to do something, but what Is as of yet deligated.

[Suffering] Well, it is not where we are supposed to be. I am positive of this, the air feels dense and it is harder to breath.

[Agony] Why yes, yes it is and the grass is so crisp and the air so clean- I was under the assumption we were looking for a grim dark smoke filled steel building. But I must say this is a welcoming surprise, it is pleasant.

[Suffering] Brother, it would make this more pleasant if we had seperate bodies.

[Agony] Look, a dweller from this abode! Hello, are you the one who had summoned us?

[Rerk] uh, no... where's my son?

[Suffering] hmmmm, Ah yes- it seems we are occupying this body and not in a physical form as of yet.

[Agony] Pity, it would be nice to have a body of our own but this will have to suffice. I wonder where the others are?

[Suffering] Hm, I am unaware of their locations as of yet, mayhaps we should look for them?

[Agony] Yes, we shall. But first I would like to dine.

[Rerk] ....y-you let my son outta there and no trouble, got it?

[Suffering] Ruffian threats, I believe he will be delicious. May I eat?

[Agony] I'm sure he will obligingly enter into our maw. You sir, will you please prostrate yourself so that we may feast upon your visage?

[Rerk] Hell no.

[Suffering] It seems we must take him by force.

[Agony] Hold on brother, because it is not as easy as earlier times does not mean we should resort to force. Sir, If you sacrifice yourself for our hunger we will let the boy go, this I promise you. But we need to use his body to search out our bretheren so it will be an eventuality.

[Rerk] How about I shoot you and you give me my son, you stupid monsters.

[Suffering] He will not obey, we must attack.

[Agony] Now hold my brother, negotiation is the solution to all problems. Now sir, you seem as such a respectable man with well rounded wisdom. I will give you one last chance- You will prostrate yourself before us so that we may eat you or we will hunt you, your loved ones, and anyone you have known and kill them. Plus we will never release the boy if you don't, will you parley?

[Lament] I'm sorry madam, I am no such thing.

[Abel] What the heck are you, where's my genie?

[Lament] I'm sorry, I know not of where your djinn could be, but I am the head of a hydra. Sadly I am alone, Have you seen my brothers? There should be five of us.

[Abel] uh, five?

[Lament] Yes, five. I am Lament, my eldest brother is pity, then it is suffering, second eldest is agony, and shame would be the youngest. As I am glad that I am rid of them, I am vexed by the fact that I am planted in the ground and cannot move. If you were to find my brothers, I would be ever so joyed.

[Abel] Why should i help you?

[Lament] If you do not help me, I will eat you. And my brothers will eat whoever is around them.
Actually I believe they might already be feasting on someone.

>input

"i would rather you eat me and be trapped here then hurt anyone else, if you swear to try and stop the others from eating people i'll help"

If Agony and Suffering have possessed Deave and Lament has possessed the Shadow Man's container I hope that doesn't mean Pity and Shame have possessed Lizard Father's corpse or something similar.

Rerk, back off we don't know how fast those maws can move you need to keep your distance.

Abel, Since Lament can't move if he wants your help finding his siblings he's going to need to let you go and if he can tell you if there is another way to find them other than follow the screams of their meals especially if he wants to keep his end of the stopping them from eating part of his offered deal.

Rerk: Shoot them?

>>467124
Inform it that it will have trouble eating you if it is trapped on the ground and cannot move. Offer it a different deal. We help it, and it keeps its brothers from eating innocents and our friends.

Hurry up and save Rerk from the other ones and then we can figure things out.

Protip: Rerk: shoot your son and he will not die. Dead serious. You can't hear me can you. Oh well, drama ahoy!

[Abel]... you're ruining my garden...

[Abel] It wasn't a "hovel," it was my zen garden... for meditating... you are wrecking my stuff.

[Lament] Ah madam, please, down to pressing matters. You had agreed to help retrieve my bretheren as I will fulfill my end, brothers you cannot feast upon the populace this time.

[Agony and Suffering] ABSURD!

[Lament] The lady kindly used her keen intellect to help me retrieve you, so I must be a gentlemen here. For the sake of our lost brothers we must find expediantly.

[Suffering] Very well, where do you propose our brothers could be madam?

>______________

We're looking for Pity and Shame. They should be nearby, at least... who is nearby in this neighborhood? Is your brother-in-law around?

I bet they are in other spirit high locales. Any battlegrounds around here? Graveyards?

Well, 2 of them came through Deave, and one through genie. At least one of them must have come trough the dino, right? And he's from the swamp the house is on the edge of.

>>468796
It's highly likely but I hope not, he said he had his last contact with shaman over 200 hundred years ago who, knows how many miles underground he's ended up over the generations he's been dead. I don't think Abel even knows that the Lizard Father is the other spirit I remember Deave only mentioning there being two spirits and not their identities, She could ask if they have a way to communicate with Deave, it may help if they know he's a shaman assuming it isn't already obvious to them, so we can discern the identity of the other spirit.

Oh also check the news for giant monstery mouths trying to eat people.

>>468801
...actually, it may be worse than that. If the heads can only pop out at locations that are spiritually linked to Deave, we're running out of local candidates. The dino-hydra head possibly being buried underground the swamp is bad enough, but anything else linked to Deave is farther away.

If the last head came through his connection to Mary, then it's offworld, at Harold's factory. If it came through our connection to our previous body, then it's offworld sticking out of Quint's ashes. Or on the space station we killed Regi on.

There was a giant crocodile or something in the area, wasn't there? that seems a likely candidate for dino-manifestation.
