Wow this guy's so augmented it's not funny. Fission bomb on each wrist? Clearly compensating for something.

>>253237
Let's not say that out loud, though.

I don't see how anything we can say will result in positive, constructive, useful, or even non-disastrous behavior.

Babble about how the Progenitors exist and are totally kicking our ass in the long-term.

He must be compensating for how he is one of the most powerful creatures in existence.

"Hey, how about we tone the volume down a bit there, ey?"

>>253249

Let's do exactly not this. Backtalking a wizard with chainsaws for hands doesn't seem like the best of ideas.

>>253222
This is reasonable!

Spikesby claims that he comes from Blacksoul originally and has been working on destroying the sea of oblivion. Spikesby tells him about K'shaara's attack and subsequent resurrection, and that no Wizard freed him. He says that he went into the Sea and one of the Progenitors freed him, assuming he was working for a traitor Wizard, but he lived in the Sea for a while and only seeks to destroy it now.

He beings to ask questions about Ascension, but Flare steps out of the cavern and blasts a stream of ... rockets from his mouth as he unleashes a furious roar

"SOMEONE ATTACKED K'SHAARA? THERE IS A TRAITOR WIZARD? RYXIX WENT MAD AND INVADED ANOTHER WIZARD'S TERRITORY? TELL ME WHO THIS TRAITOR IS! THERE ARE MANY THINGS, IT SEEMS, THAT MUST BE DEALT WITH. TOO MANY PROBLEMS I WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF. THESE PROBLEMS MUST BE RECTIFIED!"

>>253292

"Oh, that Radia chick."

>>253292

Probably best not to piss him off any more than we need to at this point, but it's probably best to try to reign him in and convince him to act as prudently as possible.

Tell him about Marv's deal with the progenitors, but warn him that marv has also been gathering antithesis from the progenitors and anti-wizard weapons and you don't know what he might be trying to do with them, beyond the obvious 'kill wizards.' Which Flare happens to be.

>>253292
Lord of Marvels is the traitor, but this issue will require some planning before an attack is made. Blacksoul, Kshaara and Morriga we can confirm as allies against this traitor, while Flails Breaker is still ignorant of everything. Recommend that he send a messenger to Blacksoul and Kshaara immediately to arrange a meeting.

>>253297
Adding weight to this again.

>>253297
This is probably the best course of action. And tell him to keep watch against those strange village emptying creatures and possibly agents from the LoM.

Say you don't know who the traitor is. Judging by his temper and offensive capabilities, unleashing him on the Peninsula might do more harm than good at this point. Lotta innocent people will probably die and I'm guessing Spikesby won't want that on his conscience

If we ever do need to bring down some serious heat on someone in short order, though, Flare is definitely our drag... er... weapon of mass destruction.

See if he might have a device we could use to contact him if we ever "find out." We could use Flare as a trump card, setting him loose at the most opportune moment.

Also try to calm him down long enough to ask about ascension again. More wizards may be needed to fight the Oblivion off and if the traitor is found the Peninsula will need a new wizard to maintain the wall anyway.

To alter my answer, say "Radia and her accomplice, Lord of Marvels."

>>253311
This could probably work as well. Anything that keeps him from blasting off right away and drop some nukes somewhere.

Spikesby tells Flare that Lord of Marvels was working with the Progenitors and gathering antithesis weapons. Before he can try to explain more, Flare lunges from the cave entrance, the engines on his wings begging to roar.

"THANK YOU TINY SNIKT. I WILL HANDLE THIS ISSUE IMMEDIATELY. I WILL HEAL YOUR WOUNDED COMPANION AND TRANSPORT TO YOU A LOCATION ALONG THE WAY. I WOULD WARN YOU THAT IF LORD OF MARVELS IS INVOLVED, HIS COMPANIONS, RADIA, FLAILS BREAKER AND ARCUS SOULFIRE ARE PROBABLY TRAITORS AS WELL. WHO ELSE KNOWS OF HIS BETRAYAL?"

>>253345

Nobody yet, go tell 'em!

>>253345

Well, given the whole spears fiasco and eating the Ophians K'Shaara may know, and Moriga at least seemed not to trust Marv but didn't seem to actually know of his betrayal.

Let him know that it is possible that his friends are not traitors, if he's killing wizards for the progenitors it is definitely relevant that his companions are also wizards.

It may be best to meet with the power players that could reasonably be assumed to stand against Marv before launching an attack, if his companions ARE on his side it may be too dangerous to attack directly.

>>253345
Tell him that he can't act immediatly. Get this point clearly across. More information is needed before proper actions can be taken. Like maybe he should send a messanger to Blacksoul (preferably one not mentioning Spikesby) as well as one to Kshaara and whoever else he feels like he can trust. Message shouldn't say right out what he just learnt, but maybe hint that it would be possible that they need to talk a bit with each other and exchange a bit of information.

You could also say that you don't know who else knows about it. But that you have seen some strange thing that eats people tthat came out from the sea, and it has been in Radia's lands as well as Arcus lands.

"We think that he is working alone. Flails Breaker is too involved in his own matters to likely be a traitor, and the other two appear to be neutral parties. The ones we know we can trust in this are Blacksoul, Morriga and Kshaara, and Kshaara can control Ryxix, in a way."

YELL THAT MARVELS IS THE SOLE TRAITOR AND HE SHOULD GET OTHER WIZARDS TO HELP HIM.

Well... crap... uh....

Getting Flare to not head out right away is of great importance. Make very effort to prevent him from immediately going on the attack. Failing that, though...

It could be dangerous, but maybe we should go with Flare to Marv's place, if only to see what happens. Witnessing the events about to transpire may could be very important.

Although unlikely, we may even be able to sway Flare's actions a little to prevent some collateral damage... or something. I'm sure if we aren't there things will inevitably go worse.

Plus we can maybe talk to Flare along the way. He could have information that may shed light on some things. This whole thing started a long time ago, so even his outdated information may hold something useful.

Try to go along with him. On the way, tell him to make a stop at Blacksoul's to get some soul-armor so he can nuke the Progenitors.

Which is to say, go "WAK WAK WAK" over jet engines while he soars away going "WOOOOO!"

Oh, and tell him that if he drops us off we'll kill Flails Breaker

>>253369
Fuck it. Go with this.

>"Wait! Wait! The other wizards don't know we should regroup and plan a-

Flare takes to the skies with a gout of flame and a thick plume of smoke. All around him the volcanoes erupt in unison, spreading magma and black smoke across the skies.

"I WILL LEAVE IT TO YOU TO INFORM THE OTHER WIZARDS." Flare shouts as he disappears from view.

An adept waves him off then turns to Spikesby and his friends.

"I am Holizen," says the Adept, "I will airplane you to where you wish to go. Flails Breaker is closest, but Lord Flare trusts you, and you may select any destination you choose. Time is of the essence, however, because I feel that events will be occurring rather rapidly once Lord Flare reaches the territory of the Lord of Marvels."

>>253374


To Flails Breaker!

Let's fucking kill us a wizard.

>>253374
Oh shit. Shit... fuckshit. Ok, guess we will have to work with this as well. Lets see, guess we can send Isenore or Llewyn to speak with Blacksoul and inform him on what's going on, send Ria to Morriga to inform her and take Spikesby to Kshaara to tell her. Somebody should probably go to Queen of Sorrows as well and tell her what's up. That adept is going to have to summon up several airplanes.

>>253374
Lord of Marvels is an asshole and Flails Breaker is the biggest dick we know. We need a big dick to fuck that asshole before he shits all over everything.

Let's not kill flails breaker. That's all I'm saying.

>>253384

I'm gonna draw fanart of that

Now on a serious note:

We need to go to the wizards and rally them together against Marvels.

We need tits to distract Flails, so Spikesby and Ria should go to Flails and scout if he's a part of Marvel's plan to fuck shit up.

Isindore should go to Queen of Sorrows.

>>253381

I'd say send Llewyn and Isenore to Queen of Sorrows and/or Blacksoul and Take Ria to Flails.

Blacksoul should definitely be informed of all of this stuff, and QoS is one of his main allies. She can send him a message without risking their souls.

If we DO end up needing to assassinate flails because he ends up in cahoots with marv we can just have Ria oil up her tits and rub him to death.

Let's go visit Flails Breaker, but send Isenore and Lewyn can go visit Queen of Sorrows to tell her that shit is going down. Tell them to pack a lunch.

I'm still going for the follow Flare to make sure shit doesn't go terribly wrong... or if it does we'll at least know angle. Someone should definitely inform Blacksoul of what's going on, but it shouldn't be spikesby.

If the party can only go to one place, though, then Blacksoul. We'll just let Spikesby stay out of sight while the other tell Zorsus that Flare is about to start Wizard War II.

>I'm still going for the follow Flare to make sure shit doesn't go terribly wrong.
Like how.

>>253397

It might be best to lest QoS do that, since everyone here has a soul so it might not be the greatest plan to send them to Blacksoul's Territory right now. We don't know if Sky is going to be able to get Blacksoul to change tack just yet.

>>253401
Cross that bridge when we come to?

I already admitted it would be unlikely to influence Flare. Seeing what happens is my primary concern.

Spikesby splits the group in two. He and Ria take the antithesis and take a plane to Flails Breaker's castle while Isenore and Llewin go to Queen of Sorrows.

It is storming somewhat severely when they land... Spikesby gets an awful sense of de ja vu.

>>253409

There's a big centaur on the bridge. We're weak... didn't we TALK our way out the LAST TIME?

Put a hat on so he can't recognize you.

Approach the guard and gesture to Ria. Say you have some high-quality snake tits to deliver to his master, along with a secret message which must be delivered only to him.

If he pauses to consider, point out that the snake tits are so good that you used an airplane to deliver them extra quickly.

Just tell the guard to inform Flails that another wizard war may be about to start in the next few hours. That should get Flails' attention.

>>253409
Hmm, this is going to be a bit troublesome. We're weaker than last time and now we can't talk with him. Hmm, have Ria ask where you can find Flails.

Have Ria tell the guard she's come to see Flails. Her tits should grant her instant access.

>>253412
I kind of like this plan.

>>253409
Sigh. We're all nuts.

At this point, it's probably best to just say "Hey, we know Flails loves big fights. Let him know there's going to be a huge wizard fight down at the Lord of Marvel's place. Marvel is a traitor to all wizards, and there's going to be a big fight. He won't want to miss it."

Spikesby, Ria, and the Adept Holizen approach the bridge. They attempt to explain a variety of things the the centaur, but it cannot understand Spikesby at all.

Ria attempt to explain that there is a wizard war about to start, and that she has a secret message just for Flails Breaker.

"You all smell like mortals," it says as lightning flashes and the rain hammers down, "Mortals cannot cross this bridge."

>>253434
ohgodwhatareyoulotdoingican'tleaveyoualoneforfiveminutes

Yes. Tell Flails there's a fight on. Then he'll charge off before anyone can waste the antithesis, and maybe even stop Flare killing half the wizards and turning the world grey via the sea. >:/

Explain to this creature that you are clearly mortal, and you clearly crossed the bridge before. Thus it is impossible to say that mortals cannot cross the bridge. Hopefully your sound logic will cause it to jump off the side of the bridge in shame.

>>253471
Have the adept breath fire on it. She's a dragon, right?
