Huh. And here I was expecting the ghost to backstab and possess Anita as a prank at the end of the thread. Guess that won't be happening, unless witches don't have souls.

>>680255
Yes, ask how curses work.

...please don't demonstrate by cursing me.

Anita, Abigail, and the zombie enter the castle. The front door was unlocked, surprisingly. Anita doesn't know what to make of that.

The party walks for a while through the dusty and rather empty castle. At the far end is a long hallway lit by torches, and decorated by pikes jammed into the ground. Upon these pikes are panties of various makes and colors.

Anita hears the faint sound of evil laughter at the far end.

Scatter the panties to the four winds with wind magic.

can you detect any magic from them? or are they a line of mundane ones?

>>680461
The first and third have duplicate panties.
Check them for magic, and loot all the magic ones.

Probably a trap, so have the zombie collect each of the panties. You should also grab a spear if they aren't cursed, should be more effective than a broom.

>>680461
Those panties look like a trap.

Send the zombie to knock the pikes over, stand back, see what happens.

Anita nearly forgot: she asked Abigail about her ability to 'curse' on the way through the castle; apparently, Abigail can cast a small temporary field that disrupts low-level magic. A useful ability! Anita is glad she didn't piss her off.

Anita senses little magical energies from the underwears. They might have been enchanted at one point, but something or someone drained away all that magic.

The zombie attempts to dislodge a pike from the floor, but it is securely cemented in. The zombie then attempts to grab a pair of panties when two bats fly in front of the party.

"INTERLOPERS! No more games! We will destroy you before you can interrupt our master! We will not be as easy as the creatures you faced before!"

Cast Gust of Wind on the torch to burn the vampires.

Magic missile, no hesitation.

If you manage to catch the pikes in the blast, they could fall over and impale / stab them too.

Anita casts Magic Missile, and fires the bright green bolt of magic energy at the leftmost vampire.

The twins do not seem impressed.

In an instant, the left twin lunges forward. Somehow, she produces a red sword which she swings at the missile. The projectile is deflected, and explosively detonates on Abigail instead.

"NO!" Screams Anita.

The twin chuckles.

>>680519
She'll be fine. Now THROW A VAMPIRE INTO A FIRE!!!

>>680519
Oh jeez I hope ghosts aren't hurt by magic that easily.

Try launching another magic missile but this time cast Wind Gust right after it to boost the missile's speed. If you can.

Alternatively you can try using Wind Gust to push the vampires into the polearms.

Geeze, the scrubs here can deflect the last boss's attack? That's no fun.

Send the zombie to charge in while you prep a wind blast. Make a wide column, to whip along the walls. If we can pick up the spikes and set them spinning in the wind, they'll be very hard pressed to blow all of that.

Hopefully the ghost can take more than one hit.

...can Abigail possess the flames and use them as a weapon?

Her feet need to be planted to swing a sword right. bounce her up with wind and then pop her in the air with a magic missile.
Hopefully she can't make a different blood construct to stop that.

Vampires don't have souls, so they could be possessed if the ghost is okay

She's already a ghost, it's not like it'll kill her. Cast Upskirt Gust on the twins.

Abigail, now dimmer than before and wearing an expression of pain, sinks to the ground.

Anita angrily casts Gust of Wind at the twins. However, the twins dash through the gust with their inhuman vampiric speed. The right twin hisses at Anita as it extends its ghastly claws.

>>680756
Zombie, throw yourself into the wind and be hurled right at the oncoming baddies.

Blow them up with magic missile while they're entangled. Maybe try for the one without a sword to protect herself with, especially since she's in front of the other.

Anita orders the zombie into her Gust of Wind stream. It flings itself into the wind, and crashes into the vampire twins.

>>680809
Hey, do vampires have souls? Can the ghost possess one of the twins?

Order the zombie to steal the sword. Then get up in their grill with the broom.

Cool, now while they're too tangled up too use the sword, magic missile them.

"zombie, keep them busy." fire another magic blast.

Anita cannot grab a torch! It is firmly bolted to the sconces which is bolted to the rest of the wall which is probably bolted to the castle.

While the left vampire twin effortlessly slices the zombie in twain, Anita decides to charge this Magic Missile as much as she possibly can. It expands greatly while drawing in magic energy from her surroundings.

The right vampire twin hisses.

"Fool! What hope do you have?"

The Magic Missile vibrates wildly in front of Anita, reaching the apex of its charge. The energy starts to singe Anita's fingertips.

The left vampire twin brings her sword up, preparing to once again deflect the shot.

However, Anita is ready. As she releases the missile, she simultaneously casts Gust of Wind to shove the projectile at immense speeds right into the torso of the left vampire twin. It detonates with such force that is rattles the very walls and floor.

The vampire twins are stunned.

Lets ensure their defeat with the cyclone burst.

Steal as much clothing as you can. They're pretty resilient so you need to be fast before they recover.

Anita senses great magic energy in the vampire twins' panties. As such, she slips them off the comatose vampires. They are silk bloomers, and Anita is impressed with the material. They must feel amazing~

Anita turns to Abigail. She is still fading, with the same pained look on her face. Anita hands the ghost one of the pairs of panties. Abigail near instantly perks up and her expression relaxes.

"Hehehe... bloomers."

Abigail points out that each pair of the bloomers has a different ability: One confers the ability to enhance speed, and the other grants the ability to deflect magic and/or projectiles.

Unfortunately, the red sword one of the twins summoned was merely a construct and has since de-spawned.

Well first, we need to switch to the mummy panties and summon a new cannon fodder zombie for the next fight.

Then, uh, deflecting magic is a pretty useful ability if we're gonna be fighting mages.

...can ghosts wear panties? We have a surfeit of panty powers ups and a shortage of equipment slots to put them in.

Did you take their bras?

Equip the defensive bloomers, they're useful in a fight. Also, can you wear bloomers over panties or is that also an overload?

Okay, stomp on their heads until their brains fall out, and then magic missile spam; they've earned a time-out in purgatory!

use speedy panties, ghost gets energy deflection panties.

Go deflection, in case our opponents use non-magical abilities. Not even speed is likely to dodge a bullet.

Anita and Abigail approach the source of all the odd noises: a woman in a lab coat shouting over the sounds of noisy machinery and crackling electricity. In front of this woman is some sort of sigil, and above it float four sets of panties, one of which is the very pair Anita seeks!

The labcoated woman is cackling and shouting above the din.

"YES! YES! Hahahahah! Iä! Iä! Shub-Pantsurath! The Black Cotton with a Thousand Waistbands! Hahahahaha!"

"You see, I already collected the panties from witches from the Fire, Water, and Earth Academies. It has been incredibly difficult locating witches from the Wind Academy, since they tend to be flying all over the dang place! But now the elements are in place, and I can finally summon Shub-Pantsurath, the Elder God of Undergarments, to our plane of existence!"

The energy builds in the room, and the electricity arcs to the panties. The panties in turn start to arc energy of their own, striking the sigil on the floor. The sigil glows an evil glow, and ominous sounds emanate from the circle.

Toss additional panties into circle. Do not push the doctor in.
