I named Issei after Issei Sagawa, an infamous cannibal. I don't know much about Sagawa's story, but I do know I like is his name enough to use it for a character

This is a great quest, and it's been updating super fast, and I never know what's coming next.

Our Pagan has a finely tuned blend of roguish charm.

Thanks! I've got enough free time right now to basically keep refreshing and see what reply to any suggestions that come up. Not sure how long that'll last though.

To be honest I sort of don't know hats gonna happen next either, this thing is half planned out and half me making it up as I go.

I didn't even know our Heretic's gender when I doodled that dress, but I love that we ran with it and now we have a reluctant cross dresser with womanly curves.

This quest is a good fun silly romp.

Did anybody like the Soul Poker game I made ? Its sorta seemed like that part of the quest got the least attention compared to the rest.

It was alright, but over-powered soul card kind of messed it up. It's hard to employ any strategy when hands are being reset, and cards get swapped at the last minute.
>>
No. 112038 ID: 3ce125

Having weird action cards in a poker game makes it... well, not quite poker. Even from the limited selection of special cards we could see, it seemed impossible to predict which way a game would go. If you're not betting real money that's fine, I guess.

This quest has been very good so far. The world itself feels very interesting, and I want to learn and see more of it... Does this mean I'm against the protagonist on this one?

>>112035
From my point of view, it was interesting. I'm not an expert of poker myself, I only have some experience, and I didn't had much time to participate in the quest when the match was happening, but it seemed somewhat fun, although the randomness could be a little annoying.

>>112040
I feel that everyone will chose once they are given the chance again. Personally, I think it is fine, even if some stuff was very new and we didn't had much time to adapt.

Then again I'm not the betting type, so chances are that I wouldn't go for it, but it's good to have the option.

I'm glad people are enjoying this quest seeing as it's the first time I've done this sort of thing.
I was worried It wouldn't go so well since this was sort of a spur of the moment thing. This quest was more of an exercise to get used to using a tablet since up until now I've been drawing on paper.

I feel like I've been asking too many questions, does anyone have anything they'd want to ask me ?

Never meant to in the first place. Somebody suggested that the Pagan's disguise for after the prison escape be a dress and kept making the feminine curves joke, and I just rolled with it.
>>
No. 112059 ID: 91ee5f

>>112058
>feminine curves joke
Yeah, that was me. Someone else suggested the dress.

A gender was never specified, so when I asked, and you gave the insulted "I'm obviously a man" reaction, I had to point out how wide his hips looked in that paper doll you gave us to draw suggestions on. But then I decided to go a little further and point it out as him having feminine curves. His reaction was priceless, so I just stuck with it! XD

If it's starting to annoy you, I'll stop.

Question: Does Heretic have a name or are we just going to keep calling him Heretic?
>>

Don't worry, if it annoyed me I wouldn't have gone along with it in the first place.

I'm not sure if he'll get a proper name or not, but I might have to when we meet other Pagans so its not confusing.

Can we get a more detailed description of what our stats let us do as to what extent?
>>
No. 112124 ID: 8a947d

>>112117
Wit: Its all about using your head, Wit lets you think up ideas or concepts quickly without fail. With the current wit of 8 are incredibly quick on the draw when it comes to taking in your surroundings and using them to your advantage.

Strength: Brawn and over all physical prowess, pretty self explanatory. Lifting, punching, striking are all determined by your strength. With the current strength of 2 you are below average in strength making you useless in any form of hand to hand combat or moving heavy objects.

Agility: How fast and on balance you are, Agility lets you move quicker and not fall flat on your face. At your current Agility of 3 you aren't super nimble but you're not a total clutz, you can vault over barriers, run at a good speed and do a wicked handstand but you have plenty of room for improvement.

Charm: Your looks and how you present yourself, superficial appearance, Charm makes people like you more and makes you easier to approach. With your current Charm of 5 you've got head turning charisma, definitely a looker but still resistible to those serious enough.

Skill: Technical skill, how well you can put things together and take them apart. Skill helps you do things that take more finesse, cracking safes, picking locks, fixing objects. With your current Skill of 4 you are proficient enough to pick simple locks or fix broken objects.

Like the guys above me said, letting us know when multiple image posts are happening will let us know to wait until all pictures have been posted before we start suggesting actions.

You can type in the "Subject" field 1/2 or 1/7 or something like that, to let us know there's going to be multiple posts.

No. 112273 ID: fe7355

You could also do what I noticed Slinko does with his cutscenes and put "sage" in the email for all the cutscene posts except for the last one. That keeps it from bumping up until the cutscene is finished.

After looking through the previous threads, I finally remembered who she is. She's that one lady that said, "That dress looks good on you." to us while she was leaving with a package she got from Troy.

So, I guess according to this picture, if it's canon, her "new toy" is that sniper rife, right?

Maybe we'll learn, maybe we won't, who knows.

I keep forgetting to put mechanics I want to use into the quest then I feel bad about putting them in later on, like i'm dumping new shit on people out of no where. like how I just started using the roll system or how I completely forgot about the Skill attribute,

but I can tell people aren't very serious about this sort of thing.

No. 112398 ID: b0784e

Out of curiosity, what about the other choices of characters we could have picked? The Seer and the Priest? What would their powers have been, I think the priests powers are obvious enough, but hey you threw me for curve ball with the pagan as I didn't expect demons to be his power.
>>
No. 112400 ID: 8a947d

>>112398
The Prophet would've been strength and power; a Prophet is a person who has a god inhabiting their bodies giving them their own powers. The Prophets god would've been the god of war Albiair and would've given him superhuman strength at the price of wits. He's basically the fighter of the three option and the Priest is the holy mage guy, you've already seen what they can do.
>>
No. 112401 ID: 3ce125

I'm guessing Athmoor's story would have been different if we started as one of the other two. Or maybe we'd have eventually turned against the church once we learned the truth? Can Priests and Prophets still use their powers if they cut ties with the church?

No. 112403 ID: b0784e

Prophets aren't with the church, The Regent Church worships a certain pantheon of gods: The Sky God, The Sea God, The Air God, and the Earth God. They don't give a shit about the others as long as its not demons or voodoo or any other bullshit.

If you had chosen a different character the story would be completely different as well, don't forget this is part planned part made up as I go, remember the Pagan barely had a goal until you guys chose it for him. Athmoor would probably be total irrelevant to anyone besides the Pagan
>>
No. 112411 ID: b0784e

Do the pagans have any other God beyond Athmoor? And I'd like to hear about the gods of this world, those other gods of the regent church sound interesting, can we hear about those?
>>
No. 112421 ID: 8a947d

>>112411
I don't think there's much I can say about the gods, From what I've got the God of the Sky Zarkaus is the main god of the Regent Pantheon basically evoking Zeus. It was his Idea to kill Athmoor and he led the others to do it. Beyond that there's not much else I can tell you, anything else will be revealed as the quest goes on.

Athmoor is the only higher beings the pagans pay any mind. They get pretty pissed if he's called a god though, they call him a Primeval Demon but its all the same thing.

I'm glad to hear you like my art style! I was a little worried I wouldn't do well with the minimalistic thing.

Anything set after the end of the world really, stuff like Fallout and Mad Max and also Fantasy Settings like Skyrim. I've always liked the idea that after the world ended a much different one would come up in the wake of the destruction, magic, mythic creatures things like that. Since this was my first quest I wanted to keep things relatively simple so its still got that fantasy style to it.

I can only really remember reading Weaver's quests: RubyQuest, NanQuest, and DiveQuest. Now that I think about D3Quest was gonna have some DiveQuest elements at first but I changed it more afterwards. This was a while ago though, so I don't remember much from them. The other quests I did read that really grabbed me were discontinued so i never got to suggest anything

But I've never participated in a quest myself, don't know why. Probably should suggest stuff in more quests now.

Both artstyles have their ups and downs, but I mostly worry about more physical action scenes I make, I get the feeling the smaller characters might be harder to convey good fight scenes with.

No. 112592 ID: 97bb2d

That might yeah, alternatively when we do get into a fight or a scene calls for more dramatic tension, you switch to a more full body style but then when it's just light hearted adventure and fun times we go back to small characters

>>113020
I plan to give Gallows some better scenes after the New Olmec thing, The issue is I can show Issei ripping through twenty people because he's a strength guy but I feel Roland's cool moments might be less action-y and come from him thinking more than fighting. I might draw more inspiration from JJBA fights since those tend to involve characters using their wit's to solve fights.

I have a question for you guys: The New Olmec chapter is reaching it's climax as Issei reaches the clock tower, how did you guys feel about how I set this one up ? Were you glad that I showed another character or would you have preferred I stayed with Gallows ?

I thought the switch was a nice touch. Just to clarify I'm not upset that we're playing Issei, it's more like i would've also like to see Rolans in the fight with his limited skills.

First: Am I the only one who feels tempted to literally sell everything (maybe including Roland's body) so we can buy so many ingredients that we can use to spam so many demons next time?

And for the most important question: Did Roland get his hat back?

Speaking of the stat's, I think I'm going to change the way stats work. I want to add skills and character attributes as well as altering some other stuff.

I hate having to totally change stuff mid quest, but I also hate the way I made them in the first place. Some rules may be a little different after the change, but It shouldn't be too much.

There's a preview button that lets you see what the output looks like before saving changes, if you're worried about breaking things.

Also it's a wiki. Worst case, if you *do* do something catastrophic, the revision can be undone.

Generally, the worst you can do is make a page messy or untidy looking, which is simple for more experienced editors to clean up. The only way I think inexperience could really break anything was if you tried editing templates that are called by many pages (so leaving "template:infobox" alone is a good idea).

But you have official wiki admin sanction to go ahead and try to improve your quest page. If you can't figure out how to do something, just ask.

Here is something that I've been wondering, think of this as another question about world building, but what would the music of your world sound like?

Pagans wouldn't have any uniform kind of music, but I'd like to think a small group of pagans have been slowly bringing the hip hop genre to the post apocalypse. Either that or a bunch of experimental different sorts of music:

Speaking of post apocalyptic worlds, this question might get into spoiler territory, but can we get an official timeline for how the world got like it is?

If we can summon slightly altered demons by substituting ritual components, could we alter Fiddler Imp by playing different songs? If we played a quick, upbeat song, then he could heal us or increase our agility. If we played a slow, symphonic song, then he could our increase endurance or lower our enemies' agility.

BETTING PROBLEMS
Okay, the thing with betting is that for a betting round to end, everyone must match the current bet or fold.

First round:
>Karas: I'll pay the big blind of 6, you'll pay the small blind of 3 for a pot of 9
>Karas callsraises 3 Cards bringing the pot to 12. (his bet is 9 now, the blind of 6 plus 3)
Totals: Karas 27 Gallows 33 (correct)
The numbers are correct before Gallows bets.
Gallows was supposed to raise 2, which means he puts down 2 more cards than Karas' bet, which means he bet 11. He should have 25 cards, and Karas was supposed to either call or raise again (or fold), but instead it seems he just puts down 2 cards which doesn't match Karas' bet at all, and the game continues anyway.

Second round:
>Karas shuffles in his seat...Then he raises 7 Cards, the pot is now 21 Cards.
The bet is now supposed to be 18, half of the starting number of cards, but neither player has put down that many. Karas' bank would be correct if he meant to raise 5 to bring the bet to 16 so that he had 20 cards in reserve.

You know what I find amusing about this whole situation?

The fact that the author has taken notice of how much everyone seems to be trying to flirt with Ada, so he/she has created a situation where if we want to keep trying to romance Ada, we'll have to work for it!

And the fact that Karas said that he's been looking for a Queen of Hearts for a while, means Ada is now Karas' most prized possession and he's going to try and hold onto her for as long as possible! Maybe even make him so desperate that he'll try to cheat or, if he loses, make him run away with Ada and not pay up what he lost!

I wasn't one of the guys that originally started flirting with Ada, but I went along with it because of how much everyone else liked her. So now, my question to everyone that likes Ada is: How badly do you want her? Because if you guys are willing to keep going for her, then you'd better find a way to get Karas to bet her, so that we can win her back!

For what it's worth, as much as that fucked us, Troy losing gave us (I think) all we needed to figure out Karas' schtick (without actually knowing his schtick) and how we might beat him at his own sick game, so to me this whole exchange has been a rousing success that hopefully ends up with a very humbled asshat.

Or - ironic punishment - a Karas card.

It's one of those cases where some people are very surprised when villains are villainous, I think, and feel betrayed the structure you set up was something that Karas just blatantly used against us. Really, I feel you did 'asshole bad guy' well myself, and I applaud your efforts. The Priests are clearly dicks who do not care for fair play and like to hold all the cards (ah ha ha oh me).

I have a theory.
Since every dare has to be somewhat reasonable, that should mean that if we are under the effect of multiple dares, new dares would have to more reasonable (Whether that means forfeit condition, action or time given.)

That might work. It's kinda hard to tell if you're right about the effects needing to be made easier, since the only effect that we're under is not telling the rest of the gang that we're in trouble for a whole day.

Would you be willing to change how summon packs work? As things are now, most of our summons are made either in the middle or right before a fight. If we were to make them beforehand at a reduced cost, that would encourage planning ahead. You could prevent us from just turning every reagent we have into packs by making them non-disassemblable.

Also it will give the summon pack section in the pastebin a use.

Psst Heretic you can't find other walkie talkies by moving one around and fiddling with the dials. Radio waves are omnidirectional and so are receivers, and besides, radio silence means exactly that-- no radio waves are being sent when you're not talking into the transmitter.

I think he was using his powers of space to feel out a similar shaped object, so that he would know where Roland is because he's holding the other walkie-talkie. Maybe. I'm not entirely sure what exactly he was doing.

I don't think you have to alter it unless we capture him alive and specifically ask him what he was doing with the walkie-talkie. Because if we end up killing him, then it won't really matter, since Leighton himself is the only one that can answer that question.

And if he does end up dying, then I guess you can just leave it a mystery.

I'd say it's pretty important. A major part of a story like this is trying to figure out how an enemy's powers work and how to work around them, so it's very important to keep them consistent. The same goes for normal, mundane objects like fires and radios; they're a part of the scene too, and they can make a major difference in an event's outcome, so they've got to work in a logical way so that people can properly plan around them.

It's probably not something that should happen, unless there's some way that the priest's powers can be used without stretching their definition or saying he has another secret unrelated power.

The radio tracking has nothing to do with Leighton's powers, it never did. It was just the way the radio worked and Leighton knowing how it worked to track the other one. You do have a good point though, I might end up changing what he does with the walkie.
>>
No. 115762 ID: 3ce125

I can't think of any way for him to use the radio to find Gallows unless Gallows does something dumb like leave his set in send mode or outright announce where he is over it. If he left his set in send mode then Leighton could find an obstruction of the signal then walk around the obstruction to work out where the "shadow" is, and that would point towards Gallows. He'd need to find two such obstructions to triangulate where Gallows is hiding, so it might take some time.

Really the best way for him to find Gallows without confronting his group of friends would be to get a bunch of guards to go around interrogating the civilian populace. Gallows was not wearing his disguise in the bar or when he went back to the gun store, so people would be able to match him to his description. Also, the burnt down guardhouse would be a red flag to investigate, possibly leading Leighton straight to the trail of dares without having to recruit any guards to do legwork.

Well, if you're gonna change it, then I kinda like the idea that he doesn't know how to use the walkie, so he was messing with it and waving it around.

And he didn't want to look like an idiot in front of his enemies, so he just pretended he knew exactly what he was doing and acted like he figured out where Gallows was.

So I binged this quest and I love it. The world and lore are fuckin' delicious and I love the summoning system. Felt inspiration strike when I was talking to a friend about how great the idea of a summoner-gunslinger is, so here's some dumb OC shit.

The idea was "what if there was a summoner that just summoned tiny demons straight into his gun to use as bullets." Did a basic concept sketch out of boredom and to try to replicate the style a bit. Please excuse the massive, awful phone-picture; I don't have a scanner.

Maybe they'd be Athmoor's fingernails or something. TUSK

When I get the chance it's going to go from
[Cyclops] (You cannot critically fail a perception roll, but you can't critically hit either)

No. 116912 ID: 3ce125

Okay so let me sum up the current situation:

The Church controls most of the public authority and thus has easy access to resources that would let them find a lot of Azerite really quickly.
The Pagans just lost all their bases. Every single one. Now they have no resources.
Priests are a hard counter to Pagans because they can dispel demons.
High Priests are so powerful the protagonist has no chance of winning in a fight against one, even with the help we have. Also we just lost access to our ability to upgrade summons.
We can't even tell the Pagan network about the game because it just got dismantled.

We lost the second it started. The Church got to their Azerite door first, spent years gathering intel, and just waited there for the pagans to activate theirs so that the game could begin. Heck, I bet the Church knew Gallows had the Azerite and LET him have it. Heck, considering this move requires a shitload of prior preparation they probably have like half the azerite they need already.

All pagan soldiers act on the command of head pagans like Flint and the head pagans act on orders given by the Bosses who we haven't met yet. Pagan's have different types depending on how they use their magic: Summoners summon demons, Threshers focus on more physical fighting, and Evokers focus on using magic. from there they're assigned classes depending on what their best at ranging from from scouts to spies to foot soldiers,

>>116912
15 bases is a lot but not all of them, only 3 where big the others were probably about as big as the Breakroom in Ender Port. maybe a large amount in the eastern part of the world but not in the whole world. There a still pagans left. Even with a lot of pagans being dead or captured plenty of other people hate the church.

When did you lose access to your ability to upgrade demons ? Even if Flint does die there are plenty of other strong summoners that can preform the ritual.

The Church didn't get to their door first. You got there around the same time they did. This move on the pagan bases isn't directly tied to the game starting.

A really good example is the Unter, Ada, and their Arcamagika!

We already know of the machine in Ada's shop that hides magical signatures, so it would make sense that the Unter would also have this. So if we could find the Unter and convince them to help, the we'd have an entire city as a safe haven for Pagans and anyone that hates the Church!

Also, there was no mention of a rule that says that we can't steal Azurite from the enemy's base! If we could figure out where the Church's door is, then we could steal their Azurite!

In hindsight that Dawn puzzle sort of sucked.

The point was to get Dawn to show up on the top, when you put Dawn in on the bottom the door gave something similar but still removed from the first word.

You replied to Morning with Midnight which was much further from what was on the top so the door gave something further too, Noon. Evening gave you Daybreak which is like Dawn but wasn't the word Dawn.

When Twilight was entered the furthest things were Daybreak and Dawn, since it couldn't use Daybreak a second time it gave out Dawn.
>>
No. 117366 ID: 3ce125

Well technically Twilight refers to any period of halfway between day and night. Dawn and dusk are both twilight hours.

Whether we knew that the top had to say dawn or not, we would be no closer to succeeding. It does not lend to a strategy.

Are the opening images for threads 8 and 9 supposed to mimic Tarot cards? Because I noticed that the image for thread 9 had a lot of swords, looked up eight of swords, and noticed it was very similar to a reversed eight of swords. I then looked through the others and noticed thread eights image was also similar to five of swords, and the description of five of sword's meaning I got from a tarot website, biddy tarot,
Conflict, tension, loss, defeat, win at all costs, betrayal
was fitting for our discovering of the Gilded Cage and the contest.
If so, it's a good thing eight of swords is positive when reversed.

Yeah they're supposed to mimic tarot cards, I got the idea after I started doing the major tarot for the characters. When I made the chapter 8 opening image it was mostly meant to symbolize the characters overcoming a previous defeat and looking forward to victory later on despite them. The chapter 9 title card is about Gallow's feeling liberated from the hopeless feeling he's had for most of his life now that he knows there's a way to win. The tarot is weird and sometimes different sources give different meanings so I do my best to make them match.

You'd need to face Athmoor himself and be proven worthy of that new hat card.

I wanna say how much I appreciate Shaman. Making a pastebin of our inventory and organizing it so well helps so much, I feel sort of bad that I was too lazy to do it myself but I am so thankful that you did this. I don't know who else was editing the D3 wiki page but I also want to thank them for putting in all of the summon recipes since once again I wouldn't have done that myself until much later, it's nice to have people help when I'm so new to posting on this website; maybe I'm making a big deal out of this but I feel like I should say thank you to everybody. Part of me feels like I started too big with this quest, but I think I'm going to get this finished or at least get as far as I can with it.

On another note, do you guys want to design some Pagans ? A while ago Darky made a character that I really liked and I was wondering if other people wanted to submit their own pagan designs do my work for me. If you do want to make a pagan any design goes as long as the color red is incorporated somewhere, you can go so far as to give them a demon to summon and a backstory if you want. I'll use the design somewhere in D3 if I like it enough, they may even become an important character or die a gruesome death whichever comes first.

I didn't though much beyond the doge mask. Let me think...

I guess that a lot would be similar to Gallows: cover from head to toes on pagan masks he can't simply blend in church control society, making him more of an pagan agent that consider the community his family and is more driven by purpose, less risk averse.
Since he reflect so much some of Gallows's attributes he should represent either who Gallows was or who he could become. I prefer him to be a scrub.
As a rune-child some aspect of his magic should be superior. I think his summons should be empowered or modify somehow. I'm thinking about oversize every demon. The image of a little rabbit on top of a giant low level demon amuses me. If you have a funnier idea fell free to change it.

Gallows didn't knew about jackalopes before meeting one, so I assume they aren't common outside an small territory. The mask could be a way to conceal not only the runes but also his specie, and at the same time maintain a cute look he is used to have. This imply he travels to places where people aren't used to his kind.
I think he should be an traveling merchant. His main business should be between the pagan communities, but he is not averse to selling bits and bobs to the locals.
Obviously his commercial practices took a hit with the church attacks. Until other opportunity emerge he will be trying to make himself useful around the new base. He should appear here and there as part of voluntary teams, but not as a leader, at least not for now.

And since I'm going with strong ingroup mentality, trusting of pagans and distrusting of others, his quirk could be that he have few words for normal people but very friendly to pagans, even flirtation toward pagan girls. If there aren't enough female pagans for the last joke become relevant just make him female, there are plenty of male pagan characters for her to interact awkwardly. I don't really care for the gender, but for some reason I'm not imagining this bunny as gay.

If any of this sound annoying or unfunny please change to your liking.

Bio - Lady gave her identity to the Lou in exchange for a poison able to affect souls. She used this to clear out a city that was infested by ghosts left after a plague.
Appearence - Lady is a tall, slender woman who always wears a mask. She has dark dreadlocks that fall in front of her shoulders. Her mask is cursed, and will stay in place until death. It has slits for eyes, and the mouth opens when her hands go near it.
Skills - Lady can brew poisons and medicines. She is skilled with a blowpipe and a novice at brawling. She's also a decent cook, but has a taste for very rare meat.
Personality - Lady is a quiet person, but she becomes almost manic whenever she loses her cool. She has poor impulse control, and often regrets her decisions.

Ooh cool. Holy shit I went way overboard with this.

Name: Gwyneth "Wanderer" Sepa
Age: 29
Personality: a bit oblivious, always focused on the task at hand. Very self-conscious since the incident.

Bio:
Gwyneth is an explorer and survivalist, very self-sufficient and well used to living in wild environs.
For much of her earlier pagan career, she was tasked with searching for new safe havens for the pagan community out in the wilds, away from the eyes of the church. As such she would often travel alone for long periods of time without contacting others, left to her own devices, only to wander in unannounced from a waystone with news of locations and resources she had discovered, before setting off again.

Later she was asked if she would be willing to use her skills to help on an expedition to the Aether itself, and she accepted.
That first expedition had some troubles, at one point Gwyneth was seperted from the rest of the team and subsequently severley wounded, most notably losing her left arm and getting disemboweled. With some desperate thinking and prayers to Arthmoor, she infected herself with a demonic parasite. The procedure worked and she survived long enough to be rescued and brought back to the regular world.

Now she lives in symbiosis with the parasite, it's presence has destroyed her ability to use summoning, but has empowered her ability to use ritual spells. She must keep her arm hidden when out in public and when talking to anyone that isn't a pagan, lest she be attacked or reported.


Skills:
[Survival 3](+5 on rolls for navigating or living in the wilderness)
[Blood Caster 2] (+3 on rolls concerning ritual spells)
[Stealth 1] (+2 on rolls to move unnoticed)

Traits:
[Parasite Arm] - The Parasite arm is a potent reach weapon, strong and flexible, but makes any interaction with non-pagans incredibly difficult. (she fails any interaction with non-pagans while the parasite arm is exposed)
[Parasitic symbiosis] - The Parasite can consume more blood than it immediately uses, allowing it to act like a blood battery but must be fed with blood regularly (any blood works), lest it start feeding on Gwyneth herself, causing her to become weak and unable to use ritual spells. (cannot summon)
[Survivalist] - Gwyneth has no patience for anything that cannot be made or relied upon when alone in the wild. (-5 to rolls with technology or guns) (+5 to rolls with simple thrown or melee weapons and tools)

Abilities: (not gonna lie I have no idea what would be appropriate so I just bullshitted)
[Blacklance] Long range projectile of piercing energy, lesser effectiveness at close ranges.
[Numbing Dart] Fires a small paralytic projectile, small and silent. Takes a minute or so for total paralysis. Ineffective through clothing or armour.
[Aetheric nova] Costly spell that creates a huge explosion of aetheric energy, leaves behind a temporary area of residual aetheric energy.
[Aether Sight] Aether sight
[Blast Rune] Engraves a mark onto an object, causing it to release a blast of energy under a condition set by the caster. Defaults to 'when object is touched'
[Galvanic Aura] Caster becomes charged with lighting, anything coming into contact with them gets shocked (can be channelled through held items)

Demon Knife:
Having helped bring back demonic samples from the Aether. Gwyneth was granted one such sample for her own use, she imbued her trusty knife.
The knife's random ability proved to be weird, the Knife has 2 'modes'; normal (when the eye is closed) and anchored (when the eye is open).
In normal mode, the wielder is able to exert force on the knife, causing it to either be repelled (launching the knife directly away from the wielder) or attracted (causing the knife to move directly towards the wielder).
In Anchored mode, the knife sticks to whatever it is touching at the time and the effect inverts (the wielder is either attracted or repelled from the knife)

Incredibly detailed and well written. I like that parasitic demon arm and you bullshitted that list of ritual spells nicely, I like how you added traits and stats despite the fact that I completely forget or neglect to add stats to any new character. I feel like she doesn't really need her knife though, with her arm it seems sort of like a hat on a hat if you know what I mean. The ability of the knife is really cool though, I might take that and use it for something else it's so creative if you don't mind. If you don't want me to do that just say so.

The poison doesn't actually kill living people. It causes their bodies to become dormant and their spirits to manifest for as long as the poison lasts. If she poisons the manifesting spirits directly, they die.

I have a few questions about the arm.

Is it intelligent? If it is, did it give itself a name? Can it talk to her? Can it speak out loud? Does it sometimes move around on it's own?

If it isn't intelligent, did she give it a name?
>>
No. 118229 ID: 5bc36c

>>118228
It isn't intelligent and Gwyneth hasn't really named it, though she sometimes thinks of it as 'the Bloody Centipede' which come to think of it, would probably be a better nickname for her.

It's meant to be a creature with roughly insect intelligence, it does communicate with her but with very basic empathy: hunger, distress, fear, ect.
It occasionally moves on it's own, but only when she's idling and not thinking about it. The way they interact is weird, it's actually much bigger than the picture suggests (and I thought was wise to mention in the bio), it's essentially taking up the role of her entire digestive tract as well as a limb.
It gives her sensory information of the limb part via the same process as it's empathy. It took quite a bit of rehabilitation till she could use it properly, the extra eye was trying to give her visual info causing massive headaches, her new internal organ arrangement made her nauseous and having your arm suddenly have no bones, a mouth vaguely shaped like a 2-fingered-2-thumbed hand and about a dozen insect legs sprouting from it fucks you right up.

You still taking character suggestions? I gave it a go...

Roberta "Rascal" Raskellianna
Rascal's mother was exiled from her colony soon after she was born. She grew up working with her mother as wandering hired guns, guarding convoys and ships to make ends meet.
After her mother was killed by the Church, Rascal re-joined a Pagan colony, eventually becoming an Enforcer, helping subdue rogues and defectors within their own ranks.
Although she now lives among Pagans she is rather indifferent to their traditions and higher goals, and joined mainly for her own protection.
That said people tend to find her easy-going and approachable, and are often surprised by the tenacity and violence she is capable of in combat.

Matador mkII
Semi-auto shotgun, compact enough to be used with one hand and compatible with a variety of speciality shells. Rascal favours "Sharps", a flechette style round that causes excessive bleeding.

Magic
[Blood Barrier] – Creates a protective barrier, allowing Rascal to absorb projectile attacks at the cost of her blood rather then her hp.
[Aether Bond] – Creates a link with target, any buffs or debuffs effecting Rascal will also effect the target. If the target is a Pagan they can also use up to 30% of her blood to cast their own spells.

Summons
[Swift Trickster] – lithe, evasive and very agile, this demon is best at distracting and disrupting enemies rather than fighting them head on. Typically pounces on a target briefly pining them in place or knocking them down. Alternatively will try to steal an items from an enemy or otherwise pester them.

Name: Morgan "Bower" Kirsch
Age: 26
Class: Evoker
Personality: Bower is a shy, unassuming man. He always seems to be at least a little bit uncomfortable when around other people. It takes a lot for him to open up. Even then, he is still very awkward, accidentally oversharing or using strange northern ancedotes that make little sense for the situation. He means well though. When comfortable, he tends to sing quietly to himself.

Bio:
Bower grew up in a small pagan outpost in the north. His father was a hunter for the outpost and his mother was a thresher with the Pagan Knights. He got his pagan name "Bower" from how often he ended up sleeping in the roost in the message tower, waiting for word from his mother.

His father trained him in how to hunt and track, and he learned spells to assist with the hunt and work the abilities of others.

Eventually, his mother was captured and killed by the Chruch. He joined the Knights to avenge her, bringing his support skills as an Evoker and his skills as a sniper to take the fight to the Church.

Skills:
[Tracking 3](+5 on rolls for following others)
[Evoker 2] (+3 on spell rolls)
[Sniper 1] (+2 on attack rolls made from a long distance)

Traits:
[Death From Above] (Bower is naturally inclined to high places, and excels in sniping. +5 to attacks made from above the target.)
[Conflict Avoidance] (Hates up close and personal conflict. Physical or otherwise. -10 to melee rolls.)
[Spell Sniper] (Bower can infuse his bullets with spells, using the foe's blood to power the spell on impact. Spells can only be used upon the target.)

Abilities:
[Aether Sight]
[Aether Mark] (Marks a person with demonic energy, making all demons in the area aware of their location and status. Can be used on allies and foes)
[Blood Flare] (Makes a bleeding opponent's blood shine as brightly as a flame, increasing all ranged accuracy against wounded foes.)
[Accelerate] (Increases allies movement speed at the cost of blood.)
[Ensnare] (Target is trapped using aether energy. Costs blood per turn.)
[Soul Sap] (Only useable with Spell Sniper. Bullets infused with this spell that remain in the victims body drain both blood and add disadvantage to STR and END rolls.)

Tada! Nerf as needed, I'm awful at game balance and also drawing.

I've had a thought about summoning from guns. If you could use magic to compress a summon pack into a size small enough to fit into a casing, then you could fire them out of any gun enchanted to be able to activate summon packs.

Catalyst Bullets:
A makeshift bullet filled with demonic fuel. Made by sacrficing reagents to imbue a spent casing with new power.

Catalyst Caliber guns would probably be similar to flareguns, but with enchanted runes carved into the barrel to activate the bullets.

They don't need a nerf if they use limited ammunition. Instead of casting spells through his own power, just give Bower a gun allows him to channel magic through it, but uses special caliber bullets.

But he’d never killed a child before. And when they dragged a boy up to the rope he realized he couldn’t be older than eight. His fellow executioners had all pulled their levers but he heisitated, but his hesitation was just long enough for the rope to be suddenly cut by a stray arrow that almost took him in the eye. The raid was bloody and brutal, but it kept him from killing a child. However, his superiors didn’t see it that way, they wanted that child dead for reasons he didn’t understand. And for his failure, his hesitation, and his “lack of faith” he was excommunicated. Of course that really meant taken out back and shot.
But as he walked to what he thought would be his death, he heard the voice of the Raven god. It promised him a way out, if he would listen. He took that chance. And now he seeks to get back at the church who would have killed him.

Might as well add my character to this thread as well

Name: Sticks the Cursed gambler
Age: Undead, died at age 39
Personality: Cocky, smoove talker, when not trying to charm others he is really sad and depressed
Class: A damned man cursed to be a walking zombie and floating specter
God: The voice of retribution and the god of blind luck

Bio: While he was alive he lived the fast life, gambling, losing and winning without a care in the world. But when he started losing badly, he started losing he couldn't stop. It got to the point that the casinos didn't let him enter them anymore. He had so much debt that he burned his house in order to get the insurance money. His whole family became poor because of his decisions. Like a coward he run from his problem and died when he challenged a man in a duel. When he got buried in an unmarked grave, he came back to life after 6 days. A voice told him that he lived a life only caring for his own amusement not caring about the consequence. The voice then told him that he will wander this world for until he fill up his own coffin with money that is meaningless to him now. His body and spirit have been separated. He doesn't really have any fighting abilities or even a weapon proficiency, only thing that he relays on is his luck. The spirit that follows him has a strange ability to cause his opponents a lot of bad luck, it appears that whoever gave him that a curse also gave him that strange abilities. So he just goes from place to place and does his services and other things for payment that he needs to get rid of the curse.

Skills:
[Lighter flipping] +3 This annoying neurotic habit the gambler uses to his advantage, It attract the attacking enemy to the gambler.
[Card shuffle] +2 It is used to distract the enemy and lowers the amount of damage that the enemy gives to the gambler and his other party members.
[Perfume smoke bomb] +3 It works as a dodge multiplier that causes blindness and doused the enemy with the perfume sense. The enemy that gets hit with firearm and has the perfume sense effect will get the burn effect additionally.

Traits:
[Card throw] With this ability the gambler marks which enemy will get the most amount of bad luck effects influence. This decreases enemy accuracy and it increases the effectiveness of dodge from the attack of the marked enemy.
[Rolling head] +3 If a fatal blow would knocked out the gambler, his body would be destroyed leaving only his head with 1 hp. In this state he is only able to use abilities that don't need use of his hands.
[Lingering will]+4 This move allows the gambler to go into his spirit temporarily, it reduces
the amount of damage that his body takes during that period.

Abilities:
[Black cat cross your path] A trip possibility to an enemy that goes for the melee attack.
[Phantom bullets] The spirit cancels the attack and makes the enemy receive the damage equal to the amount of the canceled attack.
[Invisible noose] Makes a enemy lose his whole turn , this ability only works on smaller size or regular size enemies and when performed it causes damage to the Gambler.

Nerf as you see fit.

Hey guys ? I know I asked for these character designs but can you please stop making designs better than mine please ? You're really upstaging me here.

>>118328
I like how he's sort of close to Gallows but in the most obscure coincidental way possible. He'd definitely have a hard time joining Pagans easily as an ex-church member unless he hid that from them, in which case when they found out he may be in a bit of trouble. Is he a part of the Pagans ? It doesn't seem like it. That old west look is nice though, grizzled old men make the best wasteland survivors. He might need a different God though, a God of Death would be big enough to have followers to keep him sustained. God of Ravens might be good, being able to control whole swarms of ravens and talk to them. If I had to re-balance abilities around that...

[Carrion Cross] Can stay the same.
[Raven's Grasp]: Summons a raven's claw from the ground to ensnare target for one turn.
[A Little Birdie Told Me]: Can look through the eyes of one raven, is blind from his POV while this happens.

>>118331
Absurdity you have such a unique art style that honestly I was afraid I wouldn't be able to redraw him. Same as before, I can't tell if this guy is a Pagan or a Shadowman or part of the main characters. Also the second I saw this guy I thought "Villain" maybe it's the mustache, the eyebrows, and the long cigarette. I also want to say that a lot of the skills and traits seem more like Abilities rather than skills or traits. His personality and backstory are all great but the technical parts are going to have to be reworked and balanced. I really like this guy but I think he might be an enemy, maybe someone who took a job from the church ? Unless you don't want that.

If I had to re-balance Stick's abilities...

Traits
[Jinx]: Everyone around Stick's Spirit has lower luck, this includes allies.

Abilities
[Misdirect Misfortune]: Any attack that hits Stick's Spirit is redirected to a random enemy. has a long cooldown.
[Lingering Will] Can stay the same.
[Card Throw]: Any one that Stick's Spirit touches is marked to have incredibly horrendous luck. Can only effect one person, but anyone around that person can be hurt buy the target's bad luck.

May change later.

After being excommunicated he had no where to go, some pagan families took him in for a while, until the church came for them. He did what he could but mosty he’s the kind of guy who avoids pagans, but not out of hatred, he stopped hating them a long time ago.

Well the way how I envisioned this guy to be is more of a person who gives status effects to others, like Terry Hintz from Lisa. He really wouldn't have strong attacks only affecting people around him with his abilities. As for his alliances, he could work for whoever pays him. He is more of a unique kind of a mercenary with his unpredictable ability, whoever pays him he will be working for them. I wouldn't mind if he was a opposition in the story, the way how I draw him is like the gamblers from the western cowboy movies, with exaggerated eyebrows and crazy mustache To be honest I really like more how your version of my character ended up looking. I am glad that you like my character. With all the others fan made characters that rely on weapons and magic. I wanted to make a character that really doesn't know how to use weapons at all, someone who only rely only on his luck to win his battles.

What about someone that the Pagans know is a former Church member and that person has proven themselves to be trustworthy? Like helping kill some Priests, rescuing any Pagans being held prisoner, and sharing Church secrets.

118374

Name: Arthur Eldridge
Age: Above 80
Personality: Calm, apparently exhausted but actually tireless and persistent.

In his prime Arthur was a proud pagan soldier. A life dedicated to fight until his old body could no longer take it. Now all he can do is instruct the young who don’t know why Arthur was once feared.
Although his students would never hear from his mouth, Arthur has family somewhere. In truth he fear what can happen if his children develop the same fighting spirit he has, so he develop a sort of double life, keeping his profession and family secret from each other.
Most of the people he called friends are dead, and just a rare few were because of their age. Arthur expects to meet his end fighting, like those people that were so important to him.

His fighting style is one of endurance. Once Arthur stand his ground he can hold attackers for days. To accomplish it he makes use of some defensive spells but mostly a passive regeneration.


Here is why this character exists:
Last night I dreamed an old man was scrambling written circles on the ground while a monstrous figure watches his back. From each complete circle he would start a new one centered at the end of the previous, slowly advancing his limited safe ground. The hand he stretched outside of the protective barrier was constantly been attacked by large bugs that cut deeply into his flesh, but he endure the torment and the wounds would close after a few seconds.
At some point many of the creatures emerged from beneath the ground and attacked. The old man felt unconscious. The monstrous creature hushed in his direction and torn the bugs to pieces. Soon after the wounds of the old man closed, he slowly awoke and return to his scrambling as if nothing had happened.

There's a bit more to eyes than just that. The basic structure is a lens to redirect light through the pupil, a muscle to adjust how much light enters the eye, and a pocket lined with photoreceptors.

Depth perception is a result of the differences between images captured by eyes. Each eye captures a flat image from a different angle, and the brain fills in the gaps.

For Gallows to have depth perception with only one eye, he would need a second structure. This means two lenses, two irises, and two pockets crammed into a space meant for one. Advanced surgery could make this possible, but there'd be a few differences between this and two natural eyes.

Or one eye, with only one structure-set, but that very rapidly cycles that structure into different configurations and focal lengths so the brain still gets different images / perspectives to interpolate between.

The cyclops trait may have been lost, not because Gallows gained binocular vision, but because the vision his one eye have improved to the point that the disadvantage lacking one eye represented to his ability to perceive things was compensated.

>>119005
I had no idea Ada would get this popular, I guess it sort of makes sense since Tgchan likes to pair people up. I never intended to make Ada a spider person until everyone showed interest in her, after that I decided to add more to her character and give her something interesting. I made her a spider because I liked the idea that she was hiding more eyes under here hair and then wanted to push it further.

The Unter like all of the other stuff I made was spur of the moment and had little though go into it until a while ago. I got the name from the game Sunless Sea never realized it was German until I looked into it more and then decided it made more sense that the Unter's inhabitants were German speaking. I forget exactly why they run mostly on Arcamagika, I think while I was brainstorming the place I thought a group of subterranean German spider people that ran on magical technology sounded cool enough to use.

>>119007

Who was Claude's deity? God(dess) of heat? Destruction? Radiation?Microwave ovens?

Where does an octopedal cavewoman learn to ride a bike?

Do you still want character submissions? I might have some ideas for an antagonist or two.

>>119029
Claude's god is Tyrant: God of Destruction. Priests only gain a portion of their god's power, that's why Claude didn't have complete destructive power. Stronger more well trained priests can channel more power and be more efficient.

Ada had to practice using her fake human legs to better blend in on the surface before she left the Unter, she taught herself to ride the bike as she was repairing it.

If you want to submit more I definitely won't complain, but now that I have so many I'm not sure if they'll get in or not. Still I'd love to see anything you have.

As a deserters hunter Rascal presence suggest betrayal as an element of this story. I'm not saying it will happen or that I would like it to happen, but it's something to consider.

No. 119685 ID: 13fded

Considering the isolated nature of this island the first candidate I considered as a traitor was Bower. By that I don’t mean as the one to first raise suspicions on his colleagues, I mean that his skills would make him a formidable opponent for the entire group even if he acts alone.
Long range and stealth can be a killer combination, and it doesn’t help that the rest of the group would have difficulties tracking him or covering ground spreading. This conflict would be especially interesting if there are no enemies in the region or after the enemies been dealt with.
The problem is character motivation. As a loner figure that doesn’t communicate much his past would easily become a mystery to the people closer to him, a lot could happen without anyone ever knowing or even noticing a difference of behavior, but, like Rascal, Bower has a very strong reason to hate the church. The existence of two teams competing for survival doesn’t allow a third party to be involved, making it difficult to imagine what could be a convincing motive.

Speaking of Rascal, she could be an interesting turncoat. Obviously there is the problem of someone with her background allying herself with the church, but she doesn’t seem to have too much loyalty to the pagans in the first place. It’s not too far-fetched that after hunting members of her own group for so long she would become jaded. She never really cared for those people, so why help them? What make the disloyal that cared more about themselves than the pagans so different from Rascal?

Now, if we consider which one is the most likely to be motivated to make a deal with the church there is no contestant other than Lady. Since her identity belong to the Lou until she dies her past must be nothing more than mysteries, but one thing we know: as a voodoo practitioner she is willing to make risky deals and chose the better offer.
The lack of an unified community means the Shadowman have little loyalty to other voodoo practitioners and even less so to the pagans.

Wanderer and Biter don’t seem to have a personal reason to reject the church as strongly as Rascal and Bower, but on the other hand they seem to have stronger reasons to be loyal to their group. Wanderer is too involved with pagan practices and Biter was all about the community. I don’t think either would be the most likely traitor, but that also mean they would be the most surprising traitors.
But even if they don’t betrayal the group, both are the sort of characters that can contribute to the drama. Wanderer would be too focused on the mission to even consider something isn’t right with her team. Biter would blindly trust the pagans and would have an unreasonable judgment of Lady, so even if he was right his lack of arguments would fail to convince the others.

I don't dislike it, but is hard to think of what to do when you have new caracters with to little develoment, in the sense that they just apeared. It is not like Troy, or Issei, or even Hakim. He apeared first as an antagonist, and through Roland dreams and our interactions with him, we came to know him little by little. (Uma hasn't had that much time to develop just yet, for me at least). This new group doesn't have all that "inside the head" that we have with all the others, so it is hard to play with them. I would like to emphacise that this is what i feel. Others may have other reason.

How is Lady's instakill soul attack supposed to work? The effects went away before she could act a second time so I'm guessing it wasn't that she had to dart the soul itself. An attack went off while the soul was out too, so that wasn't it.

I’m enjoying it but suggested a character so don’t take my word for it

I agree that 5 characters is a lot to handle, especially in combat, so maybe it would be worth splitting the group into 2 smaller parties? Might be easier to handle then juggling 5 dudes at once?

Or even just having prompts for 2 characters at a time?

Lady's soul poison's primary purpose was to kill ghosts. If any ethereal being (soul/ghost/spirit/spectre/etc) comes into direct contact with it, that being is banished from the physical plane. Its secondary effect causes souls to be expelled from their bodies, which opens them up to another dose of poison and leaves their bodies comatose.

I believe the poison didn't work against Floyd because his patron god is controlling his empty body.

Demons?

An Amorphous Beholder could be used as a sentry or scout by adding its vision to Gallows' own. It's recipe would be something like: something reflective, five eyeballs, a metal ring, and a pound of dried leaves.

A bunch of Demon Flagellums could be fused together into a Tentacled Monstrosity to entangle and batter groups. It'd probably require around triple the cost of Demon Flagellum's recipe or spell.

Really? I was kinda thinking that’s what’d happen if you Fusion Summon 2 Demon Flagellums.

Actually, we’ve never really tried to see what would happen if we fuse 2 of the same demon together. Would it just be something like a Super Demon Flagellum and it looks the same as a normal Demon Flagellum or would it have a different name and look different?

Amorphous Beholder sounds like an ascended version of Voyeuristic Globule if we kept it. Also, fusing two of the same demon together was something I never covered. It normally doesn't work, but I guess fusing flagellums just gets you more and more coming from the same catalyst.

I can't help but think about all of the stuff I could've done better. D3 was a test run that I feel like I let go on for too long, it definitely should've been shorter. The fact that I got around 10 Chapters done was a miracle alone. I think the next one will be a bit shorter, or at least the story won't be as large as the first one. I can't make any promises though, and I feel like the way I write the newer one will be much different from the old one. We'll see.

A reboot you say?
Well, i do have to agree with Grim, i don't see why you should. The one thing i always found bizzare are some of the interactions between characters (no pun intended). You do seem to be inspired by JoJo a lot, and there are no complaints on that, i am loving it. For the rest of the world you created, it seems incredibly well done and coherernt.
But, if you ask us for opinion on wether you should or not reboot the quest, i say you should give it a try. There are a lot of examples where this has been done and the quest has been truly beneficiated from it. My personal favorite is Fen Quest, is basically the same core story, but changing the universe almost completely.

In the original quest, we zeroed in on revolvers and cowboy-themed attire pretty quickly. That fit the old setting pretty well, but the new setting leans to the wasteland aspect much more heavily so far. Before we get to the inevitable paperdoll and equipping, we should discuss whether we keep the old theme or work on something new.

In the original D3, we never really did find out what exactly Roland’s tattoos were supposed to do, besides let him summon more easily. Was there a secondary power that we never discovered? If so, then could you tell us what it was, if it’s not a spoiler for D3 SR?

And does SR Roland‘s tattoos still have the same powers or will they be different?

Roland's tattoos were explained in the original. They stopped the large amount of Aethereal energy in his body from hurting him at a young age and as he grew up. The tattoos didn't make him summon better they just kept his body from being torn apart. SR Roland's tattoos will serve a different purpose.

Most characters have the same body type and a floating sphere for a head with two circles for eyes. To be identifiable they need noticeable scar and clothes distinguishable from all other characters.
Ignoring his vesture, Troy had a missing eye and a unique hair that got covered with the hat. What would be the point of giving a different character most of the visual clues associated with Troy? As a plot twist it would be meaningless because this is a reboot, they are literally different characters from their original counterparts.

The reason I asked about the different powers wasn't because the black ice was an irreplaceable part of Troy or because I would miss Freitast all that much. What bothers me is that Marston's outfit fitted Troy so well because it look like a something worn by a sailor of a frozen sea. Very appropriate for a smuggler with ice powers. If he is no longer associated with cold the original coat would represent better his shady nature.

That's an interesting way to look at Troy's old clothes, I never thought of the outfit like that. Now that I look up what arctic sailors look like I definitely see that, but when it was first suggested I saw it more as merchant clothes to go along with Troy's profession of selling smuggled goods.

The big reason is I just didn't care for it very much. I thought up the ability and it seemed interesting at first so I gave it to Troy, but I had other abilities meant for other characters not involved with D3 one of whom had the similar matter portal creation Troy has now. I liked this power more than black ice so I decided to give it to SR Troy, and yes that is Troy he just shows up as "???" and keeps his face hidden because in-universe he isn't keen on sharing his name or face with anyone at the moment and anyone who didn't read the original D3 wouldn't know him.

Him having similar clothes is the same reason Roland still has that poncho, I really like how it looks.

Okay is the barrier covering us on all sides or is it not? Does it last for more than one hit or not? Does it last more than one second or not? I have no idea how this ability works anymore, aside from BADLY.
The displacer beasts' ability doesn't make sense. They seem to just use it like a combination of invisibility and a hologram, when that's just fucking stupidly overpowered. Especially since they seem to make NO NOISE WHATSOEVER. The D&D creature has a displaced image a set distance away from them, and the image matches their actions. These "Displacer Beasts" do not have to match the image to their actions and can put the image wherever the fuck they want. Again, that is stupidly overpowered, and the fact that the ability is so different from the D&D version despite them having the same name and appearance means we're acting on what is essentially false information.

What the fuck.

I'm sorry if you were confused, I'm sorry if I'm misrepresenting the creature. Whenever I see the ability it's only ever described but not really shown so I guess I never fully understood how it worked. What I meant to have happened in the caves was while the displacer beast was running at you it was already displaced and managed to get around the group and close enough right as the barrier was made, the barrier covers you from all sides the displacer beast was just close enough that it was already inside by the time it was put up. I understand that I did a poor job of explaining the barrier before.

As for the distance between the invisible beast and the projection, a lot of the sources I looked up just said they were "several feet away" and within the enclosed spaces of the bunker and the mountain's cave they couldn't really go all that far. I apologize if the way I did this upset you, I just wanted to do my best to incorporate an enemy that I thought looked and acted interestingly. I can't say that it won't happen again but I will be more careful with how I do it from now on. Thank you.

At first, I was thinking, “I thought Roland’s Barrier wasn’t big enough for the Displacer Beast to fit inside of? So how did it get in there?” But now, I realize this answers some questions I had about the barrier.

My questions were: If something doesn’t fit in the barrier, would the barrier cut it in half? Or would the barrier force it out of the way?

What just happened, tells me, “No, the barrier won’t cut something in half nor will it force something out of the way.”

So, now I’m just wondering how did the Displacer Beast hit us? And I think I know what happened.

The Displacer Beast was only halfway in the barrier when it went up and just enough of its body was inside for it to attack us.

So I’m thinking that if something is too big to fit in the barrier when it goes up, it’ll get stuck in the barrier’s walls.

Since the Displacer Beast is too big to fit entirely inside of the barrier, I’m thinking that maybe we can put up a barrier around the Displacer Beast and leave its head outside of the barrier, while the rest of it is inside the barrier! That’ll trap it in place and hold it still long enough for us to shoot it in the face with some silver!

At least, I hope this’ll work.

When the beast was running at you the real one was running towards you from another angle, it wasn't already behind you but working its way toward you. With the knowledge that a displacer beast can create projections of itself the best way to have avoided this is was to have some form of doubt that the one rushing you was real or knowing that displacer beasts normally attack with ambushes instead directly. I felt like that made sense when I did it, sorry if it didn't.

The last time we called out the illusion and tried to guard against a sneak attack it didn't work. It should always work if Roland puts up the shield immediately, because it should protect against attacks from all directions. Looking around for the shadow of the beast first would delay the shield. Why would we do that?

Are you not letting the barrier do anything unless we predict exactly when and how an attack is going to happen? Do you want it to work like a Dark Souls parry? Nobody wants that. Just let us use it like a shield.

Like, seriously, how are you trying to balance this ability? How is it supposed to work? Currently it's doing absolutely nothing.
>>
No. 123467 ID: 575ec0

>>123464
We just didn't have enough information.

All we knew was that the displacer beast could only come at us from the mouth of the cave and that we couldn't see a shadow because we were in a dimly-lit space.

I know it's super fast and invisible bt shadow aside so far all we've been told is that it can bend light. That doesn't account for the enormous "whooshing" sound it should make for displacing air by zipping around so fast, nor does it account for any lack of sound a giant galloping beast might have. Even if we didn't suggest it, anyone with ears should hear it run directly past them.

In anycase, under the circumstances, it felt like the choices were just defend, attack, or hail mary.

It occurs to me that when I first looked at the update I thought the part of the cave we were in was small. Upon closer scrutiny, it appears we are in a rather expansive area, which makes that update make a bit more sense. A little darker shading on that background far wall would have gone a long way.

You didn't get attacked in the caves because you weren't looking for the real shadow, you got attacked because you didn't realize it was a projection. You can shield up and look around for the real beast at the same time, especially when there are three of you in the group.

>Like, seriously, how are you trying to balance this ability? How is it supposed to work? Currently it's doing absolutely nothing.

Aside from protecting you against being killed by the first displacer beast you found and giving room to plan against the final one and allowing Troy to set up his distraction. I understand you're frustrated it doesn't work 100% of the time but this is like the first time you're using it. I felt that an enemy that used stealth would be able to sneak past the barrier, but not all of the enemies you'll face will do it.

>>123467

Sorry I didn't see any of these. That's a creative take on a gnome, while at the same time being really disturbing. I'd hate to see that thing in real life. I already have an idea for gnomes though, I do like the idea of crystalline slugs. As for the flamethrower, though you might get one in the quest I don't really need designs for weapons or equipment. With all of the stuff you draw Shaman you should make a draw thread, more people would probably see it then.

After you guys took the Displacer Beast body the next logical step was of course letting you make stuff from their bodies. It's probably going to happen. Personally I love games where you collect materials from enemies and make equipment from it, funny enough I haven't played Monster Hunter though.

It seems like we'll only have the barrier, with chances to upgrade it. Sturdiness, duration, cooldown, and size will likely be some of the ways to improve it.

It would be interesting if we could shape the barrier or move it after we place it. That would allow it to be used for mobility and offense by making staircase barriers or bludgeoning adversaries with spiked barriers.

Just realize something: It's the eyes! Something about the inclination of the eyes, specially on featureless spherical faces, that suggest sensuality.
That is why Hazel look so cute, her cat shaped eyes accentuate even more this effect.
Wanderer's hair and hood framing her face also contribute, although she obviously lack the appeal for the furries that Hazel has.
Ula/Uma/Gya also have those insinuating eyes. One insinuating eye to be more precise. She also have more obvious indications of sensuality: her clothes. The reason we tend to avoid commenting on her appearance is probable because even when we didn't knew anything about her it was aways clear that there is something dangerous about her.

I admit, I do kind of like Hazel's eyes, but my main attraction towards her is that I have a thing for women who look like they could pummel most people in a physical fight. She's big, and she the fur gives kind of a beastly vibe that makes me think of power.

When I see Gwyn's eyes, I don't think sensual, I think she looks like she hasn't slept well in days. That evokes my pity, not attraction.

Ula's look didn't tip me off. She asked us about our demons and told us that her brother runs a business, which is pretty damn vague. Something about her stuttering also nudged the wrong way, like she was trying too hard to be a shy, innocent girl. Considering she seems perfectly fine speaking to a massive arena of people, it looks like I was right to think she was faking it. If the letter she gave us didn't mention that serious injury was avoided or that we could use it to bond with our demons, I'd want to keep away from this place. Seemed like some kind of shady, illegal cockfighting type of thing, and the idea of putting Peaches through that bothers me. I'm happy to be next to them and take some hits ourselves though.

I also thought her clothes were kind of generic.

There's a difference between speaking to a crowd of random people and talking to one person on a personal level. As far as we know, she could’ve just been nervous about meeting a new person and convincing Roland to come join the tournament.

Also, I think that was just Heretic’s way of telling us that Ula is the reboot version of Uma.

There are many reasons why someone would enlist the aid of a demon. Some for money, others purely their own protection. This one decided to work with demons in order to protect humanity and demon kind from the ultimate menace.

Not the terrible parasites known as the smileworms who turn humans into rotting hives. Not powerful gangs that terrorize smaller towns for fun and profit. Not even higher demons who's thirst for power could harm the denizens of the Aether and our world. But the bears. Those terrible clawed monsters, gluttony personified, devouring entire towns worth of food and those who try to defend their crops.

I've always felt bad that the fan character intermission for D3 didn't go well, it felt like I'd disappointed the people who'd put the time into making their characters.

I never though that intermission didn't go well, it just ended prematurely. Regardless I wasn't disappointed, their adventure was too disconnected from the main narrative and the character we were used to, it was time and effort that were better used with Gallows' crew.

Grouping all the fan characters to do something is a nice idea if you want to start a spinoff quest, but if this isn't the case they would integrate better as secondary characters appearing one by one and returning either for interest from the suggestions or as sources of conflict.
For example: Because of the rules we knew Bower wouldn't be fighting to his full potential, and during our conversation we got that he was very friendly, so most of the readers would like the idea of teaming up with him or doing something outside of the tournament if the circumstances allow. On the other hand Gwyn threat established herself as a tournament antagonist, so she could be a recurring enemy or rival.

Don't worry too much about displeasing the people who make those characters. The way I see those character were offered to be your toys and can be changed however you want, after all if you don't like them writing their stories will be a chore.

Gallows can create a sphere shaped shield and expand it, and make a strong fist. We also had a flamethrower, but no dangerous weapon is allowed in the competition.

Vol is pretty much the same, can heal and create barriers. Peaches (not currently with us), the dog like Displacer Beast can turn invisible (and so can we if we're riding him) and leave an illusion that resembles him. That's about all you need to know about our current abilities.

I imagined it as mostly replacing tails or tentacles, but any similarly-sized appendage works.

I’m mainly asking these sort of questions since Gallows is a demonologist in the reboot.
For instance, since the Displacer beasts went after mandrakes but Peaches is fine with both fruit and meat, they seem to be omnivores and quite willing to accept both plants and animals given they were probably attacking us to eat us.
If Peaches is any indication of their learning ability they also seem to be really good at following and figuring out instructions which makes sense and is common for pack animals.
>>124364
Well, many parasite have anaesthetic or numbing properties in their bite, so it’s possible they sneak up on sleeping creatures and remove and replace their appendages before they wake up.
And yeah, even non-sapient creatures would probably stop trusting ones that betrayed them after a few generations.

I'll throw my two cents into this. if we look at it realistically, demons and felines/canines are not related at all. If evolution is a thing in this story, demons in general would have branched off very early on, with the sky god at the top of the tree, and Athmor likely directly descended from him. With all demons branching off, they are nowhere near cats or dogs in the tree.

If it's more of a creation type of deal, the Displacer Beast may have appeared just as soon as Athmor died, which again, makes it completely independent from cats or dogs.

In short, Displacer Beasts are probably related to Displacer Beasts. They may have things in common with other animals (and plants with those fly trap like things), but that is probably a coincidence. Although, since the Aether seems kind of like an afterlife, maybe some spirits fed off of his corpse and turned into the early demons. Maybe some cats and dogs that were sent to hell were effected by his power. They could also be some sort of crossbreed. We know nothing about how demons breed. Are some different demons similar enough to breed? Can most interbreed (unlikely)? Can none interbreed?

So many questions, some we may never get the answers to. Unless... we go to the aether. Not any time soon, we're not ready for that big of an undertaking. But, there is no better place for a skilled and dedicated demonologist. I'm kind of hoping we go there at some point. It would certainly be interesting to study the culture of demon societies.

Yeah, probably. But it's a big place, I doubt we'd find him by just randomly walking around. We'd probably need to ask demons who understand the Aether's geography. But that place is probably so full of information, even if we are almost single minded in finding him we'll probably learn quite a bit just through random encounters with aggressive demons.

Even if we do find our father, we don't have to leave immediately after our reunion. We should get as much as we can out of a trip to that place.

So they’re like hyenas where they look like felines that picked up some canine traits?

Speaking of displacer beasts. Was that group that attacked us after the mandrakes for the food or their healing properties?
They seemed kind of suicidally reckless for a normal animal, so I’ve just been assuming they were starving or very sick, especially since both those fit Peaches warming up to us when we fed him healing food. I mean, that was normal for lacerflies because colonial creatures don’t care about the individual and we’d wandered into their hive.
And you haven’t mentioned demons being largely unkillable in the reboot like they were in the original, so I’ve been assuming they can be killed.

And where those three a parent and their two kids, or a female and her two mates?

Sick and hungry, probably something along the lines of gut parasites or some other illness. displacer beasts can safely eat Mandrakes since they can press their ears flat to their head well enough to not be hurt by their scream. The three displacer beasts were two males and a female. Female displacer beasts grow much larger and more aggressive to be able to survive while pregnant with cubs and to protect them after birth, occasionally from their mate who may or may not eat the young from time to time.

Now that I think about it, Roland just assumed Peaches’ gender and never bothered to actually check.

With this talk about female Displacer Beasts being bigger, I’m kinda hoping that Peaches turns out to actually be a female. Then we’d be riding on the back of a Displacer Beast that’s about the size of the really big one that we ended up killing and dissecting!

It's just sexual dimorphism for the Displacer Beasts: females are bigger and more aggressive than males. Peaches is male, he isn't going to grow or gain qualities that a female would exhibit. Sure he might get a little bigger as he get's older but that's about it.

So, something I probably should have asked earlier.
Since we’re playing a demonologist, how much, well not biological sense because magic, I suppose either ecological or evolutionary sense should we expect the demons to make.
For instance, flame manipulating demons cooking their food, since even animals like cooked food and it’s easier to digest. (I actually thought about this before I read Gwyn’s arm eating meat, and turns out you can use the heat from electricity to flash-cook things.)
Or Hobgoblins/Goblins being native to an area where their stretchy limbs are more advantageous, like forests or caves instead of flatlands.

Maybe, but it depends on how much they'll cost, and how useful we think they might be to us. We need to spend our money wisely.

Another thing I just realized. If Naos just paid Eto for the tournament, that means he isn't the source of Naos' wind magic. Did he not want to bring his demon ally with him (perhaps for fear of it being to recognizable/bloodthirsty/not interested in tournaments)? Or is he perhaps a saint? Or just something else entirely?

So, since Troy can teleport through siblings, that actually has a lot of benefit for plants.
Mainly because tons of plants reproduce through various types of cloning, and there can be massive clonal colonies.
And if the Quest world is like ours in terms of crops, where lots of them are grown from cuttings like many apple varieties, seedless plants, etc, he can pretty much freely teleport within a farm or orchard.
Even if they’re not, most farmers are going to grow seeds from pervious crops, so a lot of the plants are going to be close relatives anyway.

I'm not the type of person to say this but Hazel and Ada's love options must end. There's only one waifu and it is Athmor's.

Time to go to Aether and date the first demon, babe!
>>
No. 125771 ID: fd0bee

Originally Ada become the natural love interest because she was a adorably quirk shop owner whom we visited more often than anyone else. She sold and bought an ample variety of magical items, and although her stock was limited it would be difficult to encounter what she was offering elsewhere or find someone also to sell the many magical trinkets we came across, making her the most important vendor. It was inevitable that her role in the story would be expanded.
Because of the abrupt interruption of the story we naturally want the characters dynamics to get back to what they were before, specially in the case of Ada who's arc was left unfinished.

I hate to say it, but with the focus on research the book seller make a lot more sense in central role as a love interest than the electronic merchant, specially now that her shop is established as the kind of knowledge hub that occasionally come across demon lore.
A pity, this version of Ada is quirkier than ever and her design is improved (centaurs disturb me). Ada have the natural advantage because we assume she is still more or less the same character we knew. So far Hazel seem calm and quiet, admittedly she didn't got time for any development, but that doesn't sound like a good match for a risk taker like Gallows.

You are cruel Heretic. I just wanted to see the continuation of the romance previously established. Even though the current characters haven't gone through the original events I can't avoid feeling like this is a betray.

I mean there's nothing stopping you from being involved with Hazel platonically to get to all that good knowledge she's got in her library.

I just liked "big monster running little library" and sort of forgot tg is drawn to the monster women.

My fear is that the love interest could end up been a side character we will only meet to fulfill a sense of obligation instead of a recurring natural encounter in the story.
This isn't a romance so the priorities shouldn't be relationships, however there isn't much point in having a love interest if she isn't relevant to the narrative. It would be a waste if one side character gained relevance for continuous interactions while the love interest meetings become interruptions from the plot.

If you are not planing to include porn I don't care what the love interest is, just their role in the narrative. For example: Vol would be an effective love interest, although it would be a unnecessary connection since the friendship and familiarity fulfill a similar dynamic. Assuming Troy will develop an interaction with Gallows similar to their original counterparts he would be an excellent candidate.

...If you are planing to include porn I would like to ask for more options.

I mean, if you become interested in a character enough to keep going back to them I'll make them plot relevant. Original Ada wasn't plot relevant in the slightest until you guys kept going back to her
and then she helped you gain the alignment of an entire civilization of spider people. Any character will be worked in for as much as you guys care, if you guys kept going to Mordecai I'd do my best to make him relevant to reward the interest in him. Basically, I feel like you oughta just hang with who you want because every character has potential to be important later.

No. Lasers don't work like that. Lasers are highly amplified single-direction light, not focused omnidirectional light. The method of amplification varies depending on the size of the laser and what it's used for.
It could be used to focus light into a point, though, like a magnifying glass. Not gonna serve much point aside from starting small fires though.

This would definitely require a certain level of shape control, and I'm not sure if Caesura has the proper refractive abilities. But if we are able to control our shield in such a way, we'll need to create a special gun for housing the smaller lens and to make a tunnel for the light.

Usually to create a laser of any serious strength, we would need a huge lens, and this runs into issues of practicality of carrying such a huge thing, and the expense of creating it in the first place. The enemy could also easily break it. But in the case of Caesura, we can make it wherever we want for free.

That's why it should be outside focusing the sunlight. Space and foundations aren't factors when making a floating disc.

Designing a gun for the smaller lens would be impossible, though. The amount of energy converging in it would make any material melt after a few seconds of exposure. The lens would also need to have its shape adjusted depending on the angle.

The weather and time of day also restrict when it could be used. Too little sunlight would make the death ray more of a laser pointer.

The ideal shape would look sort of like an inkwell, with a convex bottom facing the sun, and a concave mouth pointed at the target.
