This is the layout. The Gnolls have come through, and I've sent a great amount of undead forces along the wall as well. So, it is manned by 200 Animal people, 300 gnolls and 200 undead. There are another 200 undead at my own base. In front of the wall are set traps, with very deep pits laced with stone pikes, while a simple network of tunnels makes for an easy retreat to the Tower, if it's needed.

The enemy Lich is marching his forces, and it will be awhile until he has enough for an attack. Since undead don't have trouble seeing in the dark, I imagine he'll push after sunset.

Ears and Tae are at the Animal front, while Shabin and Clamp are in the middle. The undead give me awareness at the eastern third, so in a sense, I'm there.

The undead, as well, march from all across the land. There will be more attacks as they reach this peninsula. Before the night falls, however, what should I do? Move my forces around to different locales or leave them be, and what should I do personally?

do you know if any of the harpy or orcs make it out? more sword arms would always be of use and flying scouts would be nice.

>>335336
Send for Minci. She'll be able to help you with her illusions.

I don't think we want that lich's soul. He's too crazy. We already have our bird lich boosting our necromancy, and honestly necromancy is not going to be our most powerful tool in the battles to come. So just break the barrier and get him out of you, into something else, which you then destroy.

If they're going to attack at night, then we should set up some kind of light magic at the battlefield. Also, I think you should spread your undead a little on the wall so you can keep tabs on more of the battle. Not very much though, just enough to get awareness.

Can you get a communication orb and call the succubus via that rune pattern we have from Tom's memories? An illusionist would be AWESOME in this battle.

OH! OH! One thing we forgot. Are any of the water-dwelling races willing to speak with us? We could see if they'd help out in any way. Either the Naga or Sea Giants. Both would be great.

I think the forces should be put together. The animals are primarily mages, the gnolls warriors, and you can see through the undead. Makes sense for the entire wall to have some of each. If you have any flying undead, birds or the like, I say you have them scout ahead. If there's a large grouping of undead without any significant figure, like the Lich himself, you or a rading party should go in and hit them with some mass healing and then get out. Don't do this too much though, otherwise they'll probably plan an ambush. The lich should be able to see through his undead as well after all.

"Tom, do you know where Minci hid?"

>"Nope. I used to. Occasionally back in the good ol' days, I'd come visit her now and again and share some of my souls with her, but then I went and got defeated. She had to vacate when the paladins thought her hideaway was my base! I'm sure she made it out, but I haven't seen her since."

>Make Light on the battlefield
>Mix Gnolls, Undead and Animals
>Send messengers to Naga and Sea Giants
>Send several scouts outward

Will do! And yes, the communication rune pattern! I think I recall it. I'll get Winston on that right away.

Oh, another thing. We've got that Dragon, right? Well, we should hold back some of the better trained animals and gnolls who we don't knows names, and then use the Dragon to deliver them to any problem areas. A dedicated strike team for arising threats.

That sounds like her!

tom anything you want to say to her?

>>335345
"Minci? Duke's back! Sorta! Duke, let her hear your voice and explain!"

>>335345
Oh jeez how are we gonna start this conversation without her hanging up on us?

Maybe you can just start by apologizing for being such a huge bitch in your previous life. Then lead into the fact that you've gotten a good connection with Derrick, and from his memories you got this code so you just wanted to call her and apologize, and to make sure she's alright. Then move on to the other reason for calling.

>>335348

Well first off, I'd imagine we'd let Tom out to explain to her first. She'd be much more willing to listen to Chee if she had Tom's approval first.

"Hey, Minci! Tom- I mean Duke- is back."

>"Chee? Oh, it's been awhile. Duke died, please Chee, we don't have anything more to do with one another."

Uh, Tom? Come out and talk?"

>"Ah man, this is a little awkward. Hey, Minci?"
>"DD?! How?"
>"Haha, long story. I'm not that dead. Anyways, these fine souls call me Tom, these days."
>"That's too good.. I'm sorry, DD, but Chee, how do I know you're not mimicking DD's voice? Last we saw you, you were trying to kill us!"
"I'm really sorry! I don't remember that! I mean, I saw it in a vision and I was kind of a - a- a bitch!"
>"You do sound different.. I'll try to trust you, in the slightest chance you are with duke. I'm hiding away in the tower's dungeon, at the lich's study. I know you're inside the tower, because of the communication device you're talking through."

I have to go through the dungeon, then? That'll take all day, and chances are the sun would set by the time I get out!

you should probably tell her your in a time sensitive situation. what with the massive undead army en route to murder everything and all.

>>335350
"I'd love to, but the other non-king lich killed half the continent so he could throw an army at us. I'll try to get Tom to you, though.
Unless there's something only you two would know or something? That would be easiest."

>>335350

Eh, sight from the Undead at the frontline will keep you updated right? We'll just have to hurry then. :3

If there's any diplomatic stuff needed to be done, the use the butler skeleton to communicate with them from down there or something.

That is of course, if we can't persuade her to come to us.

>>335350
Oh, the name of the uh the wombat thing

Hmm. Well, you could:
1) Send a construct down. This probably won't accomplish anything.
2) Send us down with someone. We might be able to convince her since she'd recognize our presence or at least be able to tell that there are many souls in one person.
3) Go down yourself riding on a construct, reading the book and trying to concentrate on figuring out how to break the phylactery barrier. We'll probably get her out this way but it could make it harder to learn.
4) Convince her to come up on her own by proving you have Duke with you. He's got all sorts of private info so we could probably do this easily!

I'm leaning towards 4 for obvious reasons (it's very simple and easy)

Why do you have to go down there? Why can't she just come up?

Wait, Lich's study? I may have to keep that in mind! Well, since I have the day free, what preparations should I do?"

Stupid Tom, saying stuff like that when we can't hear it...
Hey Chee, what did he say?

>>335363
Thinking about it, there's not a lot more for us to do aside from deal with diplomacy and study how to make the lich mortal.

Oh, we could go and visit the troops personally, sending souls to notable units and having them practice a bit to get a boost of power. Only those gnolls we can trust though- those close to Clamp. I think all the animal people are pretty loyal at this point.

We maaaaay want to go down to the Lich's study today anyway. Or ask Minci to see if she can look for some good books on phylacteries or soul manipulation. We're trying to destroy one.

"Couldn't you have told her something else?! Something that didn't include things like...that?!"

Gently whack Tom upside the head for divulging such things for your delicate ears to hear.

>>335365
Noooo, I'm not going to say! Stuff like that shouldn't even be physically possible, magic and shapeshifting or not!

"Minci! I think I'm going to head down there to look at the Lich's study! Make yourself at home, I'm not sure if we'll cross paths. You're welcome to any part of the tower."
>"Alright, um, thank you Chee. But show me Duke sometime soon!"

It's certainly a long trek to the Lich's study. I wonder how long Minci's been hiding right underneath the Lich's nose? Or beak. The study isn't much, but it's absolutely packed with scrolls and tomes.

I can start perusing immediately, but if I get anywhere at all, the battle will start without me. On the other hand, the defenses set are still strong, and there's no saying if the lich will launch everything he has at me at the first attack.

>>335374
We came down here, so we need to find something before we go back up. If not we'll have completely wasted the day. Start looking. Anything related to phylacteries or soul manipulation. We want the lich's soul out and destroyed somehow, or sent to the beyond. If we can't manage that, just sending the soul back to the lich (as if his phylactery was simply destroyed) would work fine.

Minci's helping out, and we know she is quite skilled at illusions. I think the defenses should hold.

>>335374
Do a quick once-over to see if you can find out anything about those barriers.
If you do then bring it with you topside. If you don't find anything about that quickly then grab whatever looks interesting and head back up.
Every living being that dies while you're not there increases the enemy ranks. You HAVE to be there for the battle.

I'm staying down here. The tome's are definitely the lich's personal notes. They go on forever and ever, talking about minion upkeep, the various blueprints and room assignments of the tower.. he's very unorganized! I can spend hours here and find very little. But I'm wittling away at this, and I know that somewhere in here there might be something related to my case, more likely here than the library!

...

The sun is setting. I can't sense it through the undead, but animals and gnolls are starting to complain about the rancid smell, it won't be long. There's no sign of Orcs or Harpies. My messengers can't find any Naga or Sea Giants. I should be going up. I'll visit the Study again later, there just has to be something...

"It's nice to meet you Minci!"
>"Thank you! And DD, I'm so happy to see you too, we'll have to catch up! Winston has updated me on everything he knows while you were still down there, which includes how Duke is now inside of you. I hope it's not too awkward! Anyways, about the battle, I can either help with illusions on the front line, or stay here and use my old alchemy shop to make potions. Most of my potions are support, but spread out they can help a lot of individuals, with increased stamina in both physical exhaustion and sleepiness. This should especially help, if the battle is long and drawn out. Which is very likely, as it's a key part of sending undead troops against living troops!"

This is so awkward.

Support potions or illusions at the battle, that's the choice for Minci's task! Oh, and also, should I change her outfit, and if so, to what?

>>335383
Potions. Putting her on the front line risks her, and keeping our people alive is vital for surviving a siege against the undead.
Ask if she can brew anything to increase and replenish magical stamina, since keeping you in mana would let you unleash game-changing artillery constantly - destroying their troops and healing yours at the same time is ideal for outlasting your enemy.

Oh, and if you see any Orcs or Harpies hit them with healing but don't assume they're on your side.

If she won't be distracting anybody with her looks then Minci can wear whatever she wants.

>>335383

The scraps she has on now don't serve any purpose, just take them off. She'll be fine naked.

I say potion duty.

Also hang in there Chee, just give her some robes or something.

>>335386
That would improve morale. Do it.

And put her on potion duty.

>>335383
Argh, we got NOTHING from that! Send down some noncombat constructs to gather up everything and bring it upstairs so that we don't have to waste time going back down there. Also have them ransack the place, to see if they can find anything hidden.

It sounds like illusions will help increase how efficient we are at killing the undead horde, and the potions will help us outlast them and keep the pace up. It just depends on how drawn out the battle is, I guess.

Thinking about it... We should have her on potion duty. It doesn't matter how efficient we are at killing the zombies if the fighting just keeps going and going, and we have to ensure that our living troops never fall. We can't replace them.

As for her outfit, have her wear that 'more modest' outfit she was wearing while she was going through the illusions way back when.

Also, do not have a naked succubus around, I think that would cause Tom to spend all his time ogling. It would probably distract you too. And all the troops.

>>335388
>>335386
It seems stupid. I like stupid stuff though.

>>335390
It'll only distract for a short time, and then everyone will get used to it.

>>335383
potionnssss

Ask her if she'd like something a bit more modest to wear, perhaps a cloak? Or a dress, if there are any? It should be up to her what she wears, as a succubus she might be more comfortable naked after all.

I cant remember, but have we already set up some sort of wards on the main battlefield (or where you believe most of the battles will be happening) that might raise those killed in action to fight for you?
If that's possible at all, you might look into it. Though it would be a good idea to ask your soldiers if it's ok.

Can she make an illusion of a mosaic? Have her go naked but "wearing" a censorship mosaic.

(this is my fetish)

>>335394
Don't bother with that, just have her go naked, and put her on the front line with her illusions.

Guys. Chee won't want to do this, and might disobey us, injuring herself.

Think of THAT.

>>335398
Hm. I thought she was asking advice instead of for further orders. Hmmmmm.

>>335403

Just daydream it or something. =/

>>335402
Your advice stinks.

Have the succubus wear a women's business suit, and have her do potions.

>>335383
Support potions, and why would you take control of her clothing decisions?

>>335409
I agree, but >>335405 's idea is too awesome to ignore.

>>335383
Support potions, and experiment to see if heal potions can be used as grenades against the undead. If it works then you want more of those.

Oh, and do a first strike against the undead horde. Send out a few fliers to airdrop things imbued with AOE heal over them. That should thin them out on the ground and force the other Lich to act before he's really prepared.

>>335420
>first strike
Can you say... healing caltrops? Just enchant healing onto a bunch of rocks and put them into a bin. Then fly up above the forest and scatter them.

Chee, you should figure out how to animate zombies with healing magic, so they can kill other zombies by hugging them

whatever she wears it must be purple

Unrelated to the question at hand, we DO have some sort of defense along the shore, right? Or at least patrols keeping an eye there? Sea-dwelling races aside, the undead don't need to breathe so if the lich has made them durable enough to handle the tides then there's a chance he might get creative and have them pop up along the beaches and surround us behind our main line of defense, not to mention reach the tower immediately.

As for potions verses illusions, the undead are pretty brainless, aren't they? The illusions might not have as strong an effect on them as they would the lich. Keep Michi in the tower making potions and readying to use illusions should the battle require falling back to the tower.

Also, I believe some sort of armor might be prudent for the battle at hand. Michi has way too many vulnerable spots exposed. Remember what happened last time she faced someone with the powers of a lich?

go potions

OOH OOH OOH, make her wear a skintight bodysuit coloured to make it look like she is naked!

Potions

potion duty. we a fighting a siege against a large number of weak foes. being able to keep fighting for as long as possible would be very important.

>Nearly every clothing opinion is different.
I'll decide later! Also, I really don't have any idea what a business suit looks like.

Zombies have been trying to assault. They're weak and the shambly sort, and they haven't even reached in range of offensive spells before the already existing traps kill them. There are a lot, though.

I'm sensing tougher zombies coming in by air, but it seems weird how they're.. they're getting launched by catapults?!

make a heal net like against the ninja thing and just swat them.

oh, and then fly over it and fireball the pults.

this is bad. have your mages shape a roof over the wall. then see if you can locate and destroy the catapults.

>>335463
spiked roof. uses their own speed to splat themselves.

>>335459
Shoot them down, then take out the enemy's catapults. Send a warning out to the others.

>>335459
Heal net, then get some imbued heal knives and do a strafing run over their catapults.

>>335459
First rule: fire*.

We should scramble the rear guard to take down whatever makes it over the wall, but don't shift from defenses on it!

* keep it close to the friendly side of the wall so the catapults won't see it. We'll use it to crisp the zombies; it'll be safer than dealing with them directly on both sides. Just make sure they don't move too much after they light up.

A heal net is pretty hard to do over such a range! They're probably catapulting zombies across the entire peninsula.

"Ears! Get your earth mages to create a roof of spikes, it should at least ease the numbers we have to fight normally. I'm going on the offense."

The catapults are actually assembled inside the jungle, I have to go in to get a clear shot.

There's definitely a lot more undead deeper in, they're holding back, but I don't want to get cocky. I've taken 5 catapults down as I've moved east.
>"Chee! Are you so desperate already to show yourself in the front lines? Show me what you've got, or surrender!"

hrmm. make an earth thing launch it into the air, use air magic to assist if needed. then while it's spinning wildly fly by and rip the necklace off then turn around and heal beam it.

It doesn't take long for me to burn the remainder of the catapults, and the attack dies down along with the moon. My healing wards in the harpy territory are still active, but they've learned the routes of weakest effect.
Tonight's losses were a few replaceable undead, 6 gnolls, and 3 animals from zombies that got through the roof. Morale is decent, all things considered.

>"Welcome back, Chee! It's taken awhile, but I've got the alchemy shop back in order. Tomorrow night, I'll either be able to have potions for mana, or for physical stamina, whichever you think will be a problem."
"Good! Please wear something."

I still haven't lit up our wall with protective torches. Should I prepare the torches, or try to look through the Lich's Tomes again, before going to bed for the day? And which potion, should we have strong mages or fighters?

mana

>>335483
Uhm. You have zombies to do the bulk of the physical combat, so the gnolls and such can rest in shifts. Mana.

>>335483
Get something that will allow you to stay awake. Then fix up the torches and read the books.

>>335488
and ASK HER ADVICE ON WHICH BOOKS ARE WORTHWHILE. She spent all that time down there, she should know.

hmmm... they should still not be getting into melee range. mages.

We got more gnoll losses than mage losses. So buff our fighters.

Mana
Have her wear some mage robes so she doesn't distract people
Research

mana. if they breach the wall for long enofgh for stamina to become an issue we have already lost. might want to consider rotating your troops so they each get some rest. also what was that thing you ripped off the undeads neck?

hmm, yes, is it anti-heal or just defense? if defense then give it to the troops.

>>335501
Probably anti-heal shield like the one emobird's construct had.

I've got the torches lit, now. I've sent constructs to go back to the wall and deliver them. Night won't touch our walls, anymore.

The Naga and Sea Giants are dead ends, I never could find any. So are the paladins of the dwarven homelands, as they're still fighting their battles in their own land, and I doubt they can afford to send any help my way even if they wanted to.

With the extra time and Minci's help, long after I finished the torches, I finally found a tome that seems to be entirely about me. Specifically, the lich's effort to have his soul escape from me. This must be the right book! But, it is large, and if I tried to read it now, the sun will set before I'm finished.

>>335532
Send out all the souls you can to every defender unless you discover, say, a scholar soul or something. Then read read read. This is our best chance to short-circuit this war.

Speaking of souls, DD said that he gave her quite a few. Did she eat them or use them?..

>>335532
Skip to the end. Or halfway through. If he wrote it as an experiment log then most of the book will be dead ends.

As for the succubus, just put her in a t-shirt and skirt.

>>335532
Hey Chee, next time we go onto the front lines remember to let Tom out a little. Every soul-powered construct the lich throws at us will be more fuel for our own fires of war!

Although I wonder if eating the souls of clumsy and stupid people effect you negatively...

>>335556
ah, but tom can see if they have any skills while they are in his mouth. so if they are useless then they just go in his belly, if they are useful then they go to the skill-drive.

>>335556
Eating the ninja earlier didn't seem to affect her throwing abilities any

That was because the body was inferior.

It.. I don't know, I didn't really want to know. But she doesn't seem like the kind of person that would fully eat them. And, I've already given all my talent based souls to the major fighters and mages! I'm just keeping you guys with me, until further notice.

The sun has set. The attack is more of the same, just more zombies. There have been virtually no souls, out there. They are starting to set the jungle on fire, though.

But I found a lead, skipping ahead to around the middle of the book, written by the lich here.

>That accursed barrier! It's impermeable! I've researched and researched, years spent trying to figure this out, and it always leads to the same thing. That barrier is formed similarly to how Chee could, theoretically, send souls to another person from any distance. How is that? I have deducted that if she gets emotionally attached to someone, her soul and her target forms a bond, a bridge of sorts, between both souls that transcends distance. Using that bridge, she is able to guide the souls to their target. This magic, and this barrier, is formed entirely based off such emotions. I've no idea how the Lich King was able to use such to recreate the bridge in the form of a barrier within Chee, but it is done.

>To create the barrier, one must understand the emotion formed in becoming emotionally close to someone. To destroy it, one must understand the emotion formed in crushing that bond, either through a simple killing, or a more elaborate form of betrayal that must break the friendship beyond repair, or something of that sort. I can't do that personally, I have detached myself from friendships, thinking they were too weak! And how could I get Chee to knowingly, understandingly, kill, betray or otherwise throw away a close friend of hers, and then break the barrier with her newfound emotion? Why would the Lich King form such a bond off of love, anyway?! He must enjoy mocking the emotion, as there must be a bridge for hating someone as well. Perhaps I can use that for personal experiments, but it is utterly irrelevant to this scenario. And breaking it this way is impossible for myself, and so I must find another way.

There are dozens and dozens of entries past this, trying to find another way. He never found one.

This is my only lead? Complete betrayal? That's not a lead at all!

HEY! TOM! You know how normally we're against you eating souls unless we say it's ok?
Go ahead and eat the souls of any enemies you want. Eat all of them.

>>335600
Huh, I must have missed that, thought he was either a clumsy idiot or delusional.

there is another way. fall in love yourself and use your own love to form a drill in your mental landscape.

>>335601
The paladin loved you, and you slit his throat and fed him to Tom.
Grab that feeling. Harness it. Channel it into the barrier. That will hopefully weaken it.

>>335601
...that's... not acceptable. We can't do that.

There is something else though. You said you gained the ability to send souls to people you weren't close to emotionally. Could you reverse that method in a similar way?

...or, we could ask the succubus for advice on this front. She made LOVE potions, surely she can make a potion to force you to experience this emotion.

Even if I could love myself, I'd have to betray myself then, following the book. I mean, I wouldn't hurt else, but.. well, I'd horribly cripple myself at best, by the book.

>>335607
Ohh, I felt.. feel bad about that, but I didn't love him back. It was one way. The entry seems to imply I would have had to love him, back.

>>335608
I'm not sure what you mean. The barrier on Tom is based off the ability to lets me send souls from any distance, but not sending souls to just anyone.

>>335609
That might work. But if she made a love potion and used it on me for someone or something, would I be able to kill or break them?

>>335629
Sounds like we need a love potion again. We'll give you and an animal a minor dose so that you fall in love with eachother. Then we'll force you to kill it.

This is going to really suck, Chee. I'm not gonna lie. You'll probably resist and injure yourself.
