Old Disc thread.

>New Thread.

Where's my Scars of Yesterday picture?

>>331012
its coming, slowly. i am not very good at character design. :(

also i am excited for the new Premen heroes :D

minor thought: whatever happened to the mine we found, with the alligators? i seem to remember we sent out a small group to claim it, but then we kind of forgot about it.

I believe that Bang was in that group and he killed everything. He said he got bitten though.

P.S. If this si really teh new Dic thread, we need to put in some nice G.Quest related pics. Stat.

So, My computer BSOD'ed some five times last night.... we'll see how it goes today.

If there is no update today, go ahead and assume I lost the war against the machine.

Oh, and here's a picture of what could be a Yeti hero character.

>>331058
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!

>>331071
So.....

The Machine won.

Got an old laptop up and running....

But lost all my Golem Quest pictures, and the few plotlines I had sketched out an outline for.

So... yeah.

On the plus side, update later tonight.

Oh shit. Erm...can you get that stuff back?

>>331073

Let's see.....

[Computer makes it five seconds past boot up before next BSOD]

...Hmm

...It would seem not.

>>331076
any hope of booting off something else and accessing files sort of around the problem?

>>331076
Shit. I did mean for, well, later, so you don't loose your sketches and outlines, because those are important.

>>331078

Pssh, MY BRAIN SHALL HOLD MY KNOWLEDGE FOR ME, AS IT WAS INTENDED.

And this way, less lure to railroad, as I have nothing to railroad too...

Well... other than.... the... eight? Yeah, eight plotlines I've got memorized because of how deep in them you are, and how huge and overarching they are, namely:

Lenryt
Caged One
Mordre Origin
Keddic/Aurockoth
Weinsho/Goran/Trollzaru (scarred yeti)
Eisenhardt

Castiliathen

I don't think I meant it like that, which of the two would win, but rather, say, measuring the energy put into each blow, and measuring how many calories were in the lunch they had that fueled the figoh wow I have no idea where I'm going with this analogy.

I found our pony!

It just happens a kobold is riding it.

We have to ask how runes work. Either here, or we ask Arkus next time we're near him. My theory is that once you form the rune, you shoot magic into it, and the rune's shape traps it, bouncing it around inside itself, performing the desired effect. Or something. dicks.

No, we know how runes work. We need to eat a rune mage to do anything with it though. As it stands, we don't learn by doing or studying, we learn by eating. Maybe when we figure out what we are, but for now we need tasty tasty souls.

think of it like... Japanese, you can memorize all the hiragana and stuff but you wont be able to write with them until you know how to put them together. mordre memorized ALL the runes in the book, he just needs a soul to put them all together.

Well, I said ask because the mechanics seemed a bit ... different than normal magic, tapping a fuel source to produce a desired effect.

I didn't mean "Ask how so we can learn to do it" because I know we need a soul for that, I meant "Ask how so we can learn the mechanics behind it and further incorporate it into magical theory and also sate that curiosity".

Also if we know how runes work I must have missed the explanation! Another thing, Did we ever go through the book o' runes we gave to Arkus? I forget. If we did, have we been digesting that information during the nights?

>>331246
>Did we ever go through the book o' runes we gave to Arkus? I forget. If we did, have we been digesting that information during the nights?

We don't digest. We commit. We're a magic robot.

I find myself smiling at the amount of mass speculation this most recent infodump of an update shall inspire...

>>331248
Just an expression. I seem to recall Bob mentioning that while we, could, yes, go through each book really fast, using our perfect memory to save the pages and all, it wouldn't add to our knowledge until we took the time to go through it mentally, if you know what I mean because I don't ok I got lost

>>331268
As I understood it:
We can read and memorize as many books on magic and shit that we like, but unless we have the souls of magicians with experience in that field, we can't do shit with it.

Or for an analogy;
We can input all the data we want, but without the software that tell us how to use that data, we're SOL.

>>331270
Yes, yes, I know this, what I'm looking for when we ask about how runes work is not the ability to craft them, but rather an explanation how they work mechanically, similar to the explanation on magic here
>>316654

Runes seem a bit... different than just straight up casting a spell, but that might just be in my mind.

I find myself frowning at the lack of mass speculation inspired by this info dump.

Cmon people work those brains.

>>331271
This is what I think. When crafting(scribing) a rune, the will of the scribe is implanted in it during the process, weather actively or as a result of having to craft it and knowing what you wanna do. It is likely also a bit of world and soul magic.
This of course means that someone cannot use a rune if they don't know what it does, but that contradicts what we already know because we stole Dulu's rune without knowing exactly what it did. My theory is that the testing spot on soul graves uses soul magic to forcefully fuel the magic of the rune. This is not done elsewhere because the other types of magic are not powerful enough to do so.


If it helps, I think of runes as a set of magical logic gates or a program that takes magic energy and makes it do stuff.

In case we decide to take the offer of 50 named ones. A few suggestions for the names, along with their approximate meaning and assumed gender in case its relevent. If it lacks a F/M its not usually a name.

I was going to say something about the heart of the world, leylines being veins, and something about core beings, but I herped so hard that theory derped and is gone forever.

>>331385
No, no, bring it back. I remember theorizing about that back in the Eisendhart scandal but I don't remembered if I posted it in it's entirety (I have a way of doing that, people keep distracting me while I write out my theories). If you can remember then we can collaborate.

>>331380
>Éros: Passionate love

Ah, yes. How could have this ever eluded us?...
Of course what we lack right now is a Japanese-style tentacle rape monster.

You should remember that these Deep Spawns are not a very pretty sight to look upon. Making one with the core function that revolves around "passion" and "love" will not end well.

>>331386
All I remember was "Blood Magic" and "Analogies (Or were they metaphors?)".

I got some name suggestions:

Tractoman
Igniman
Necroman
Pomuman
Geoman
Chronoman
Aquaman
Magnetoman
Aeroman
Graviman
Kinetiman
Curatioman
Pyroman
Phonoman

I totally ripped of the names of different types of magic there... they all sound like they were taken from a megaman game though...

On the name game...

Algoton
Sanfrot
Restaf
Welgahoo
Quee
Yurto
Pazuun
Trufal
Zelgoto
Beran
Tellagga

Just remembered, when we get back to the Arcanoworks, we'll have to hash out salaries for our employees (Derkin, Dregas, etc) because we forgot about that.

I have no idea what a reasonable salary would be.

Give the Generals and Dregas 50g each, and the plebs 1g each.

Hrm, probably need to rethink that,we as coin value added to the wiki? Let me check.

You know, we should probably talk to Dregas about this, him being our money man. a bit of a tough thing, having our employee determining his own pay, but, well, we're balls with dosh, and he's a good guy for dealing with the every day stuff.

To clarify, when Eldghodd says Define one of the Named masses, it means speaking to it, holding a firm image in mind of a concept it is to embody, and a general form it is to follow.

EXAMPLE:

Dorgrum embodies the concept of HUNGER, and his form revolves around FACES and EATING.

Khordu embodies the concept of RENDING, and his form revolves around FANGS and EDGES.

Make sense? Hope so, because I won't be on to answer questions for at least another day.

>[BAM, PRISTINE SOUL GOES TO FALCON]

Good job, Falcon!

>It fall upon you to craft their forms

Does that mean we can search for cool pictures and use them to craft Spawns?
I like it when it is possible to picture the beings in this quest (one of the reasons why I love this quest so much, Bob always uses pictures)

Just doing five as a test. And Bob can we double up? Like...two that Embody 'Speed', but differently? Tell me what everything thinks, anyway.

Ekron embodies the consept of PERFECTION, and it's form revolves around STONE and ELECTRICTY

Dorln embodies the consept of LOYALITY, and that's form revolves around FLESH and STEEL

Hasbern embodies the consept of LOSS, and that's form revolves around FIRE and TIME

Jidkof embodies the consept of INNER STRENGTH, and that's form revolves around GLOWING ENERGY and PLAGUES AND VIRII

seconding

>>331495
so how many of these are references/sound associations and how many are just ass-pulling? Because there are many where I can't tell if there was an idea in mind, or if it was just "I thought this sounded cool"

I can see reasons for Calvern, Fortgon, Nidhogg, Asgardia, Fjordak, Vandgurd, Mothbern, Colossi, Dompaggio, Aggocrag, Nihilino, Psilophilia, Vahnderhuug, Mahklargg, Nechrahno, (though I am confused about 'forgiveness') Phohn, Aehroahquia, Queeyurtoh, Zelgoto, Pengaiea, and Bobobo (bo bobobo).

So, like 20ish of them.

>>331504
I like the cut of this man's jib. Make it so.

>>331519
Thank you kindly. And for me, other then the obvious - Vahnderhuug, Bobobo, and Aggocrag - it was mostly just saying the name until something came to mind. Yeah, goofy, I know.

As for 'Forgiveness', it was...eh, something interesting, and related to the notion of a peace of the grave. That and I want to see something made from Rot and Forgiveness. Because that would just scare the pants off me. Maybe some kind of creepy Zombie Jesus.

>>331519
For Gantizo, go read GANTZ. Actually, don't read it, it will rot your mind or something.

For Rutgur, go play Fire Emblem... all of them. Partly because I don't remember which one he was in and partly because its a nice game.

I am guessing that Akumodo is based on Akuma.(SF)

I must admit though I picked Khanite out of the air to be a badass gentleman.

Oh dang, yeah, it makes sense that Marrow is magically powerful, considering it makes blood and blood is the second strongest magic source.

My only gripe is that alot of those forms don't make sense.

Not that I dont understand what they're trying to get across, but they're not forms, or don't lend themselves well to forms. Like POLITICS and INDOMITABLE SPIRIT.

Just a thought.

>>331532
Well seeing as Sadronm's form revolves around MAGNIFICENCE and INSPIRATION and we got a giant lizard man, I think it depends on what Bob wants. Although he could just inspire and be amazing on his own. Personally those 'odd' ones are the ones I wanna see. What would a rather nightmarish beast made of UNDERSTANDING look like? or LEGIONS?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOEng8LS-1c&NR=1 I hope the opportunity to use this for Keddic's death.

>>331538
>to use this never comes up

Hey guys, maybe you can help out. I have a couple of Spawn concepts but not they are not fully worked out and I don't know what names to assign them.

First.

[name] embodies concept of VENGEANCE it's form revolves around [] and [].

- The idea is that, this Spawn will become more and more angry, potent and powerful will each time it takes damage. If an ally or friend is truck then the effect is even stronger. If a friend or an ally has been killed during a fight the effect multiplies even more. It is perfect during campaigns with many "normal" troops from our side, be it defensive or offensive. In big battles there will be loses and with each one that Spawn and in turn it's spawns will become stronger.

Second.

[name] embodies the concept of TELEPORTATION it's form revolver around PORTALS and []

-This one is straight forward. It should give us ability to immediately travel for large destinations.

>>331569
[name] embodies the concept of TRANSFORMATION it's form revolver around MODES OF TRANSPORTATION and ROBOTS

>>331570
>it's form revolver around MODES OF TRANSPORTATION and ROBOTS
>revolver

MY GOD.
It's a GIANT revolver and the barrel is filled with ROBOTS. Said robots get shot and "TRANSPORTED" into enemies faces!

>>331570
We already have a proposal for a travel spawn in:
>Vahnderhuug embodies the Concept of TRANSPORT, its form revolves around FLIGHT and SWIFTNESS.

More suggestion can't hurt though, I imagine.

It has come to my attention that almost none of our Spawn ideas are magic oriented.

This is the image that pseudo-inspired the time-stabilizing Deep Spawn I suggested in the quest thread. I'd actually like to see more non-humanoid Deep Spawn...

[name] embodies the concept of CHRONOLOGICAL STABILITY in the form of GEARS and CONTINUITY

>>331572
>Vahnderhuug not embodying the concept of THE HERO and being made from HUGE and MEATROCK.

Anyway, clearly >>331570 is a Prime example of a Sureshot idea. I wouldn't limit it with just MODES OF TRANSPORTATION. Something without a Snarl and more open would be any thing thing. I've run out of transformer jokes at this point, so someone continue for me.

>>331569
>[name] embodies the concept of TELEPORTATION it's form revolver around PORTALS and []
> Didn't use SCIENCE.
Lie on your stomach with your arms at your sides. A party associate will arrive shortly to collect you for your party.

>>331574

This is a good idea, and you don't need to delete the name you picked, you know.
Velada embodies the concept of CHRONOLOGICAL STABILITY in the form of GEARS and CONTINUITY.
And one thing I wanted to comment on is, if you're gonna give one of the Deep Spawn Time Powers, why would you not let her engage in as much time dickery as Bob would allow?

Anyway, two other suggested Deep Spawn from others.
Orochoth embodies the concept of PREPAREDNESS, its form revolves around KNOWLEDGE and PRESCIENCE.
Burduko embodies the concept of SPEED, in the form of TRANSPORT and CONVEYANCE.

And for Magic, what do you mean?

Ok, question: Why is everyone so caught up on restrictions to gain power? I can understand using it in a static area - our healing tent is a good example - or for smaller groups of non-hero warriors, like the Night Warrior Tattoos - but why does everyone want to restrict main characters?

>>331578
Because, in the immortal words of the great Jeremy Clarkson; "POWEEEEEEEEEEEEER!"

>>331578
Min-maxers.

Min-maxers everywhere.


Also, can Phohn do live conversations between two parties like... a phone? If so, we might want to talk to Vimes later, telling him to talk into the Danger Rod, etc.

And set up our own phone company.

a few can be used that don't rally limit anything but grant bonuses just because. like "must have 100 souls in furnace" would give us a little extra power with no real drawback.

>>331581
I happen to really dislike crafting bindings upon our very being like the deepspawn. It limits us, our very being, and that disturbs me. Rune magic that only activates when whatever? Sure, yeah that's fine. Mix whatever little power boosts you can work into that, restrictions that aren't really restrictions at all.

I just realized something.

A single deepspawn, that is, the little minion ones, were powerful enough to overtake normal warriors easily.

A single Named deepspawn was able to hold Lorgk, the first mortal to actually damage us, in combat for a damn good while.

We have fifty of these, possibly. Each with their own contingents of little dudes. One of them a strategist. At this point, we could lost Arcanoworks and lost relatively little, so long as we continue to work in the State.

Seriously. We have a fucking army of demons.

I only have suggested one Spawn with restrictions and that was Gantizo.

[In case you don't remember: Gantzio embodies the concept of FATE, its form revolves around GHOSTS and FEAR]
The restrictions being that it could only move at night (kind of like a Gargoyle, heck why not add the turns to stone thing and give it even more power) and it had to find an existing soul to slave to its being, it could not simply create them.

I was about to say something about restrictions, but I forgot it... thats odd.

>>331580
...yes. A Phohn company!

>Wonders how having every conversation sound like this is good business.

>>331585
Yes. Yes we do. And a cabal working on the very secret of blood magic. And a golem that moves like lighting and can eat the immortal. And Bang who can destroy large armies with few attacks, Capt. Falcon who can one hit kill anything and who's punch can be seen from outside the galaxy and Vimes who can defeat the dark secrets of the earth by being a police man and sheer bloody mindedness. And we just exchanged the Soul Edge for the Soul Caliber.

And you know what? Bob is still gonna kick us in the fucking teeth and hold us under the water till we scream and sob for mercy and tell them where the nuclear weapons are being held.

>>331587
>I only have suggested one Spawn with restrictions
>>quest/218455
>Restrictions everywhere!

Unhuh. Regrading >>331587 I don't know why we should restrict such powerful weapons. We don't need to wait until the end of the show to unleash The Blazing Sword. Keeping a powerful Batman fighter locked up until night seems a tad foolish, especially when his powers revolve around fate.


As for , >>quest/218455 the truth ones I like but I think those are rather autoimplemented. All Deep Spawn are bound to tell the truth and, barring Administrators, to follow the orders of whomever they are slaved to absolutely.
The 'No one knows the truth about Mordre' is our first real, and possibly only. binding, and and don't think it should be limited to 'those that know'. Those that know would talk to us about it, not to them. They just don't talk about their master - as I somehow doubt we could order them to support our lie.

The 'No Kill without Command' is good for Eldghodd but we are fighting a proactive war and our holdings are often separated. I don't want to go after the Shell and find out our Demon Army did bupkis while we were on a boat. I don't wanna have to issue commands from distances when we might not be able to.

I could, if I wanted to be a quote-bitch, go down the whole list and argue against, but I won't. My point is this: I would rather have lower power usable in any situation I could dream up rather then a limited power that could bite me in the ass later.

Anyway, for at least a day, I'm done with arguing about why I don't think we should restrict too much. Hell, the only one I wanna allow is 'no talking about our nature to anyone' because our Demon Army is an army of truth tellers, and I don't want to be an Anethema the first chance these deep spawn get.

>>/quest/218455 is what I meant.

Anyway, some actual questions for Bob:
Are there any holidays that we would know about? Just wondering if we need to get ready for a summerfest or something.

Question as a writer and GM to a writer and GM: If we had killed Arkus in the beginning, did you have anything prepared?

And at any point have we jumped the completely invisible and not actually existing rails of your story arcs?

>>331590
> Capt. Falcon who can one hit kill anything and who's punch can be seen from outside the galaxy and Vimes who can defeat the dark secrets of the earth by being a police man and sheer bloody mindedness.

To be fair, they're not on our side yet. Hell, out of the HAM characters we've only met Vimes, and he's pretty suspicious of us. We shouldn't assume they're going to be on our side immediately, Armstrong probably won't like us at all.


>Wonders how having every conversation sound like this is good business.

It's better than what they had before for instant long-range communication, nothing. We might be able to craft little handsets with magic that sort of cancel out the strangeness of Phohn's voice, as well as being focuses for Phohn's voice.

Also we can assign numbers and stuff. We can be a real wireless provider! Complete with the dickery of several year contracts for phones!

Also >"no talking about our nature to anyone" is the best binding.

>>331591
Holidays... I don't know, haven't thought of any, myself. Would be a depth thing, but never had the time to think such up. If you want to throw some out, use the day/month list in the previous discussion thread, and make one.


I was expecting you to kill Arkus, and fight a running retreat as anathema through froggrock lands, starting civil wars as you grabbed followers, make your way to Morgren tribe with intial pursuing army from Duras hunting anathema attack. Depending on how handled, MAYBE won, but likely running retreat necessary, to finish travel toward Morgren, attempt to use as threat/try to slave some tribes to will for added firepower, go on rampage slowly learning magic from the heroes fighting against you while raising your hellish army. Eventually, you would learn secrets concerning the function of Soul Graves enough to enhance your core to consume far more fuel but grant more power in turn, eventually, MAYBE win with savvy tactics and playing old hatreds on one another....

And be alone.

Only your own side left, everyone else wiped out. And eventually, to keep running in your enhanced stated, you would have to turn on your army, them running out as well, as you slowly whittle away your life on a dead planet, having doomed it to having the Caged One freed with nothing to stop the Core Beings, the System would over-tax, Caged One would maginova planet, becoming roaming Planet God with The Wanderer, the interdimensional being fused with Lenryt, losing its mortal form, and thus leaving into the dead of space. Might have switched view to The Wanderer then... Or Caged One.




Not really jumped, as caught me with a very undeveloped idea of how the area functions, so I had to iron out what, say, the northern mountains were as we went. Was kind of expecting toward froggrocks, maybe a human settlement.


Any other questions? (May do an update later tonight.)

Also, the staff we had Jojo start working, with all the gems and stuff... I just noticed, as I was rereading earlier threads, that Jojo said
>what this one uses is not compatible with gems

so he can't really use it.

Butts.

>>331596
Okay, well, I suppose if you had gotten strong enough at that point, you could be hunting Core Beings, slowly building how 'old' of ones you could safely attack, before making your way underground in time to use your now Core Being enhanced existence to help buy time for more enforcement to the system, and slowly release souls in some way to attempt regenerating the planet, and restart life, so that millions of years later, Mordre is remembered as the creator of life, after having destroyed it.

>>331593
Vimes...is suspicious. It's like his natural state. Probably has something to do with being kinda Knurd from the get go. And I am very sure that Armstrong will love someone freeing the State and as hammy as he is. And we're a lovable old man!

Ma Mordre, at your service. Hold please.

>>331596
Well, I'll get some dates then. We need Christmas, and then we need some other ones.

And you know, I'm glad we didn't kill him. It's kinda cool to see what might have happened. Us killing a planet. hell, us being the creator -of- an entire planet is...well, pretty sweet. I wonder if any other planets have developed Soul Graves...It would be interesting to meet a world that that...terrible and beautiful culling and rebirth occurred on.

>And we just exchanged the Soul Edge for the Soul Caliber.

I... uh...

My mind is blown.

>>331590
Ah, what I meant was that I only suggested one spawn with restrictions built in from creation, not that I hadn't suggested restrictions at all.

Anyways, pip pip, cherioo and all that.
*poof*

>>331597
It's shiny. They're not gems to be useful, they're just pretty decorations. ahem. Remember to put that gem thing in the wiki.

>>331600
Giant crystal good sword that was made to oppose creepy, throbbing-kind-living-red evil sword? yeah, Soul Edge for the Soul Caliber. Lorgk is gonna be eternally retold.

>>331596
Bob, how long is a Month? I'm trying to do some back-count which I will do myself, don't worry, to find the day that Mordre was reborn - which damn well is gonna be a holiday for us - and then for when the world ate Mosmordre which I assume would be a generally big happy time for most everyone else. Then I'm gonna do Christmas around mid-to-late Sedecimber. Most likely Midwinter Gala or something. and go off there. Longest day, shortest day, equal day, and holidays. I'll start with the State, I rather guess that Premen celebrate a different calendar and also less set times. They seem big on 'We killed those assholes, lets party' rather then 'we killed those assholes 200 years ago, lets party'.

And Bob, I was gonna call Time Shenanigans because it's Praeclarum and we've been calling it summer when it was listed as Spring but I noticed we've been doing that for a while. I'm not sure what I'm trying to say other then 'What do you think, sir?'

...a thought just occurred to me. The Premen have a bronze/whatever mine. How come they don't wear metal armor? What do they use the metal for, beyond swords and tools?

>>331585
Well not exactly, our Individualized Deep Spawn aren't as strong as Dorgrum. It was noted a couple updates back that their souls are noticeably smaller his. They need more experience/bindings before they get to his level of power.

Still, our new army of Deep Spawn is pretty awesome. How we're going to explain them to the state is a bit of a worry though. I suppose we can tell them they're more alchemic warriors or that they're part of our life/stone golem collection.

>>331607
"They're my golems."
"And those smaller ones?"
"Golems."
"Ah. Then what about that woman made of skin?"
"Look, it's golems all the way down."

As this is a better venue for it, I'm going to reiterate my comments made here:

http://quest.lv/kusaba/quest/res/203684.html#218004

>>331609
Isn't that right Vimes? Just Golems. Mindless, controlled golems.

*ahem*.

>>331607
"You recall the Blue Knight? Yes, well, I must say I found those...oh, what were they called again...AH, yes, Hounds, those hounds of his, rather intriguing. YOu could say they fired up the imagination a bit.

So much so, in fact, that I had to make a few of my own! I think they're turning out wonderfully, don't you?"

>>331596
>I was expecting you to kill Arkus
>And be alone.

goddam yes Arkus is best bro ever. yes im a faggot shut up

>>331612
Woof woof
BARK

"See, hounds."

>>331613
Best ever. We must have bonding time! We have not hung out in ages! Confess might have destroy the planet if it wasn't for him.

>>331614
good lord this would be hilarious to have actually happen.

Or we can just say that we have friends in low places.

Actually using Phohn to set up a phone/messenger service is seeming like a better and better idea the more I think about it. Depends on how far/thinly he can spread himself.

>>331618
I think Phohn is one spawn that we can put heavy bindings on.
-Like, must be underground all the time.
-Cannot fight in any circumstances, must retreat and preserve existence at all costs.
-Always immobile unless this contradicts the second binding.

Stuff like that. These are pretty hefty bindings so they would increase his power significantly.

Also, I have hard time imagining Phohns combat capabilities now. What kind of warrior would he be? I doubt he would be as competent as other Spawns.
Though he could use his wires to an extent and have powerful sound-based attacks.
Oh, also he could distort the enemies by messing up their sense of hearing. A competent warrior can determine where the enemy is and where the attack will come by the sound. If Phohn keeps messing with them, their brain and reflexes will react badly.

>>331596
>(May do an update later tonight.)
OH, PLEASE DO

>>331626
I think we should talk to him more about he *works* before placing such restrictions on him. What if he cannot transmit as far through earth? And immobile is out of the question. his wires vibrate and transmit sound, or I assume! There is something vibrating, probably.

These restrictions are going to have to be very finely wordsmithed. We need to ask if there is a way to remove these bindings, so if we fuck up we can fix it.


Also I assumed Phohn fights like a noise marine.

>>331630

Waaaaaait a second .... does that mean that Lenryt is interested in having the CO released? As that would mean she would become a planet-god. Or is it that she doesn't want that to happen since she could lose her personality if she fuses with it?


Anyway, I am very, very happy that this did not turn out the way you had anticipated. Your scenario look like some "SMASH, CRUSH, AAAARRGHH!" Hulk scenario. Almost entirely based on fights and power-levels. I don't think I would have been able to stomach that.

I really like the way turned out. The way we deal with almost all problems with CHARISMA and DIPLOMACY. It brings me no end of amusement that a weapon made solely for destruction and war uses its magnificent silver tongue to sway minds of powerful enemies or neutral parties and make them allies and friends..... I wonder how they would react if our true nature got revealed to them.
Also, imagining how Arkus deals with this is pretty funny too: "Soul Grave grave behaving like a human and successfully using social subterfuge... man, I don't know, I don't know". But this turned out pretty well for him. I hope he'll become a powerful mage during the run of this quest...

Hmm... I wonder if we manage to successfully deal with Oggroths problem could we infuse Arkus with souls to boost his magical stamina? Would be pretty awesome if we could.

Lerato embodies concept of VENGEANCE it's form revolves around [] and []
(I really don't know what its form should be revolving around, I just like the concept but if noone can help me, I'll go for cliché like ICE (or FIRE) and RAZORS)

Hmm... People, why have you stopped giving Spawn ideas? I think we need some more.
While I like less combat oriented spawns, I think we have too many diplomacy/charisma Spawns (like, Queeyurtoh, Erostika, Gashiji, Akeakam, Ekron). We are perfectly capable of filling that role ourself.

Also, some of the other ideas should be reworked, I think. While I am lacking imagination right now, I hope someone will come up with good stuff.

Another thing, am I the only one who DOESN'T want Bob(bobo) revolving around freaking ANTS???
Bob(bobo) should be something special, something very cool.... Actually:
Bob, question for you, maybe YOU want to give a suggestion for a Spawn clearly made in your honour? Maybe you have some idea that you would like to implement, or just would like this spawn to be awesome?

>>331644
To be clear, name is pronounced Bob-obo (Bahb ohboe), but as to theme:

What about a book shaped like a face, with fangs with text imprinted in them, that opens to a massive catalogue of..... stuff, I guess. Could be a book of sometimes prophecy, if used properly, or something, but a giant floating book, it's spawn being origamy from its pages, would seem my preferred thing.

Maybe give cover a hide, make it more bestial, it's pages mottled and almost scaled.

Dear -god- that thing is freaky.

>Our teleporter-dude's explanation

Oh. So we just have to build a big building that is exactly the same in key locations. :V

Fjordak? What was that? The new Arcanoworks Science Arcanoworks Deep Spawn Portal Deep Spawn doesn't need buildings, structures, or safety nets to work? Why sure I'll agree with you!

>>331702

I thought of a 10mx10m platform with a specific design. We could relay specifics to Arkus and have them build a platform there ASAP, while we build the same kind of platform here. Then we can test Burduko.

>>331705
Identical I'm assuming means 110% the same. I don't think the same building materials exist in Mordreden as the Arcanoworks.

>>331708
stone doesn't exist elsewhere? or wood?

The teleporter stations could potentially just be boxes made of metal sheets. Put stuff in box, close the door and it is transported to another box! Mordre can probably make super similar metal boxes with his magnetomancy, perfect memory and machine like precision.

>>331709
In Mordreden? I don't think there are many trees, it being a mountainous tundra location - there is a reason they use bone and flesh in most of there construction. And then you have to ask yourself if the stone is of the same composition, and the wood is the same wood - I'm assuming any wood in preman lands is gonna be pine, while The State is most mixed deciduous.

Sorry 'Identical' makes me worried. I don't want the first thing we transport to turn 'Fly' on us because one location used Granite and another used Slate.

>>331710
I like this the most because, as a magnetomancer, we can remove impurities and hopefully get the metal to the right size and shape but I worry where we're gonna get that much excess metal because I don't actually want to use metal for weapons, or buildings, or armor or technology for this. I hope we can use the swarf for this process, it would be easiest. But this is a process we would have to start at the Arcanoworks and ship them out to locations.

Huh, thought: We could use our Anti-Golem cannon to make small portals. The shells weigh...maybe fifty? That's a good sized box...Transport would be a pain, but we could do it like that.

>>331712
Ah, thanks for saying this. i just remembered that I had some weapon designs I wanted to upload, one of them being an augmented AG cannon.

After I fix my scanner or learn how to do digital art that will be right here baby.

>>331691
Oh god, I did not imagine that when I thought of that Deep Spawn, but I wish I had. It's delightfully grotesque and silly.

File 128202517726.jpg - (78.60KB , 799x799 , 1282009286931.jpg )

I rather vaguely described Mordre in a thread and a passing drawfag dropped this off.

>>331734
Hmm that seems to be some kind of Mecha-Mordre. A lot of fanart seems to show the sable executioner as a tentacle arm rather than blade tentacles at the end of an arm.

>>331749
Yup. I noticed that.

If you guys ever get enough Black Steel to MAKE it full arm, you could be looking at, fully unrolled, about sixty feet, for each, independantly prehensile saw tentacle.

I like to think of it as having the length of a gundam to cut things.

...I think I was trying to use that as an example of how, IF the Sable Executioner was full arm, it would be much longer than portrayed, in the instances I have seen of Mordre drawn with a full arm version of said weapon.

Also, hey, what with that recent computer death and subsequentloss of all that stuff on the old comp, I find myself largely out of concrete plans for the unmet others of the 24 Soul Graves made.

Other than 1 (reserved) 14 (Scars of Yesterday), 22 (Steel Fists Soul Grave) and 24 (Mordre, most recent), I could use a rebuilding of a soul grave specifications, complete with number. Keep in mind that the oldest (lowest numbered) Soul Graves were invariably the largest, had the largest amount of design alterations that included growth with an initially quite large frame. These being the single digit numbers. The mid range golems were a mixed lot, a whole mess of walking testbeds of stuff, with later numbers usually more refined as techniques for crafting were ironed out. Numbers 10 through 20, respectively. 21 plus was last ditch effort creations, with lessened supplies leading to a more... ramshackle, or basic, creations.

Yeesh, this is a bit hard to remember off the top of my head. Anyway, anyone want to take a crack at it? Or have questions, or whatnot?

>Anyway, anyone want to take a crack at it?

I thought we built some in the last thread? I know I made a MOTHERCFUGGIN' DRAGON and Killer Queen.

>>331761
[Well, they could, if still desired as suggestions, go with a bit of a general gist of what made them a multi-faceted mobile weapons test bed, of which it took 24 in a world with people like Eisenhardt to push back every other nation, and wage an omnidirectional war of conquest, and nearly win? So, I'm guessing, around 3 weapon purposes per body minimum, with options for other experimental weapons. Like say Scars of Yesterday, the Aeromancy focus, with channeled body structure, built to adhere to a totemic insect archetype, with further are vents and body shaping for abrupt rediraction of force and thrust, making own vector about as manipulatable as possible. Add to this link to Soul Furnace leading back up to adapted four-point maw, with ability to rapidly pressurize contained pocket of soulfire (pistol shrimp cavity, Soul Fire substituting for air or water bubble), for blasts attuned both to Kinetimancy and Phonomancy. So, a highly mobile, movement/wind oriented Soul Grave, #14, to explore speed enhancements, weaponisation of wind/sound.

Something like that, to describe what it can do, or at least give a gist.

>>331763
Whooo boy. I'm not sure if I could manage that kinda depth. All I remember from the dragon design was that the claws were made of Red steel, it had huge wings and could channel soulfire as a flight propellent (it could use this ability to hit subsonic speeds, but not break the sound barrier), and was capable of using soulfire as a flamethrower as opposed to a projectile.

>>331763
Yoyah! Lets take the 20 others to town! And note: I thought there were a few other Golems you mentioned. But lets go!

>Seven got claimed as prizes, and serve as champions of some of the nations that defeated Mosmordre! Three serve as guards to each of the Three Grand Elder Mages, and two as siege weapons for mercenary armies, The Steel Fists Legion and The Iron Shells!

And eleven unaccounted for.

I am going through the old threads to see if Bob, no offence, had posted a general outline and then forgotten it, and then I'm gonna go through the old dicussion to find those old golem ideas.

Wish me luck!

>>331766
we should go back to the steel fists and take that thing. it went down like a bitch to the AA. and we also have one of it's hands, and then upgraded the fuck out of it and changed and upgraded the powers massively with the inverter.

Just read Ant Quest.

It was fucking awesome. I love your style Bob, wish there were more like yours. I like how you focus on story and characters rather than on pretty pictures and your battles are magnificent. I prefer to read about the situation rather than seeing (though it's not always easy to imagine everything).

Good job, Bob! I hope you will be doing this for a long, LONG time!

>>331760
What about the Caemlo Repository? Arkus described it as a giant Soul Grave that was converted into a library. So that would make it one of the earlier models right?

While I was rereading, I noticed something kinda-a-little-odd in the first two posts. It went from second person - You are, you do, you can - to first person - I do, I am, I will - after the 'rest' Mordre had.

>The Grey Destroyer, the Soul Grave they modified into a 30 foot tall, one hundred thousand pound plus super-titan, it's iron body covered in runes.

I'm wondering if he was 1 or not. But first find, and I hope that starts something Bob.

>>331760
>21 plus was last ditch effort creations, with lessened supplies leading to a more... ramshackle, or basic, creations.
Just what are you saying about Mordre, mmhm?

And make note boys! This means that Mordre was the last Soul Grave made. Speculate wildly as you are want.

Forgive me if I've overlooked a detail, but I've had a thought occur to me. Is the amount of charge the AA builds when Mordre moves proportionate to the mass being shifted, or is it only the pure motion itself that matters? Because if the latter case holds true, it'd be rather easy to use the revolving cylinders of the anti-golem cannon as something of a dynamo, spinning endlessly to help build a charge instead of necessitating Mordre pacing about all over the place and so forth.

On Goran:
><TheBeardiestBob> Oh, he also has a bit of Phonomantic Combat Magic... you know, some basic stuff he picked up over the years... and refined over centuries. But other than that... actually also has some basic Arcane Gravimancy, again nothing crazy major... just REALLY well practiced... and powered by a rather potent existence...
<TheBeardiestBob> So.....
<TheBeardiestBob> Yeah, he's more than MAGIC EAT, MAGIC RESIST
<TheBeardiestBob> Figured I'd say.
<TheBeardiestBob> Since, you know, finding out the Phonomancy at same time as dealing with grappling and biting attacks from magic mouth? Not fun.

On the "warp room" stuff...
[Anonymage]: If people design (likely draw) a representation of what this specific "room" would look like, would it speed up the construction/make it work better/something else?
[TheBeardiestBob]: That supposition is accurate, concept art would help - as would a by-item description of what room is made of, dimensions, etc. The more mundane and common the items, the easier, obviously, to assemble, and in number...
[TheBeardiestBob]: [However,] more magically-charged components offer a wider discrepancy range, in terms of allowed differences. The demand for similarity borders on perfect replica, it can be a pain.

[Anonymage]: Do we have anybody who knows enough runecrafting to do stuff like adding runes that empower the concepts of connection, distance, travel, etc?
[Anonymage]: [The general idea is] adding such runes to the "warp room" to either make it easier or at least further distinguish its purpose.
[TheBeardiestBob]: Hmm... Actually, Arkus could, but only REAL basic ones, so think thick, simple, stark runes, no real artistry or complexity, just solid worksmanship.

[Anonymage]: <asked about carving specific runes (phrasing may have led Bob to think I meant specific words) in places in said rooms>
[TheBeardiestBob]: Hmm, you COULD write words into the walls just as an added means of achieving similarity, but would make [the] room more futzy to make. You could do up to two simple runes, Arkus would really just have access to two right now, but words could help supplement cohesion between models, by adding an easy point to gain identicalness in.

[Anonymage]: One last question; if Mordre gets runecrafting competency, would it be able to "print" runes on things (probably carving them out with Sable Executioner) relatively quickly/easily?
[TheBeardiestBob]: Yes, yes he would; but consider [that the souls of MULTIPLE runeworkers] would have to be consumed... or [you'd have to ask for it as a boon from Lenryt.]

Edited slightly for rewording and stuff. I hope Bob won't mind me posting this, since it's helpful information that everyone following the quest should probably know.

Inb4 Mordre/Goran RAP BATTLE

>>331811
just because he has VOLUME doesn't mean he has cool rhymes!

So, I was perusing the wiki page, and had a thought when I reached the Magical Equipment section. What would happen when Soulfire is combined with Immortal Genocide's Default, Primary, and Secondary Functions? Similiarly, what would happen when Inverter is combined with Immortal Genocide's Primary, and Tertiary Function?

>>331760
>Keep in mind that the oldest (lowest numbered) Soul Graves were invariably the largest, had the largest amount of design alterations that included growth with an initially quite large frame.

I just reread that post while trying to think up some Soul Graves and that section struck me as interesting. When I asked previously about ways to grow our form and it was said the method would be to gather up the appropriate amount of metal, several schematics, and five mages skilled in World, Will, and Blood magic. That text appears to provide us a work around via those growth alterations. So Bob, if we managed to find one of these older Soul Graves with that alteration and either defeated it or got permission to examine it closely we could copy what it does for our own use right?

If we can I'd like to acquire whatever this alteration is and tweak it for our own use. I'm guessing it does something like slowly grow the Soul Grave over time, but that's not exactly something we need. Perhaps we can instead make the growth extremely rapid, but also temporary? So when we come across those situations where we are facing an enemy who outclasses us in terms of size we can flip a little magical switch and go into uber mode where we'd grow a couple feet. How that would work in terms of mass would be a bit difficult, but perhaps we could get it to work by eating a large amount of metal prior to using it and then have it redirected back into the planet when we finish by using the Soul Grave's innate mechanism that does exactly that we change metal composition. This is all theory though and is contingent on what I proposed doing with the older Soul Graves can work and if this idea is magically possible.

>>331810
As my lyrical tricks and fast styling lack a solid beat to build off, I commend you to laying down a rhythmic smack down on the fat one.

Just laying this out here: I'm all for Mordre's ultimate, ultimate goal, beyond even empire building, be attaining something akin to Godhood

>>331852
Me too
unless it involves destroying everything we have worked for

>>331853
Of course. Seriously, though, if anything was suited to the task of attaining a near unlimited potential, it would be a Soul Grave.

I thought our ultimate goal was to become world ruler, start a space empire and be the space pirate emperor.

Anyway! Art Request! Can someone make some nice 'Achievement' pictures, maybe like Steam Ones, or something funny-ish, that we can use for the currently unlocked achievements?

Here's a schematic I requested recently for a harpoon launcher attachment that would go onto our forearm. The shape of the arm isn't exactly correct, but it's got the general gist of where the launcher could be mounted. Hopefully this qualifies for the schematic bonus and we can find something like this more easily on our next trip back to the islands.

>>331865
You know what would make this harpoon even awesomer? If it was attached to a chain made of blootz steel that had a winch.

Oh dammit, yall got to this idea first.

I was going to suggest a complex series of runes on our back just below the AG. A chain would be grown there. Then the AG shots would be modified in their growth to have an accompanying rune on their end. When the chain is attached to the back of the shot the runes (that will be named when I post the design) activate allowing the chain to grow magically in proportion to the distance the shot flies. Oh right, the AG shots would also be modified so that they shoot out soulfire after impact (like a WASP shot) and the head would flip out to be used as an anchor. I envisioned a number of uses, It could help Mordre climb for one, or be used creatively with an enemy on the end and used like Oggroth's wrecking ball.

Ah well, designs will be posted soon along with the repulsor Stakes/Fist/Gauntlets.

Oh yes, Mordre can break the chain at will using magnetomancy.

The downside to this thing was the magic and/or metal requirement, but the mod isn't active all the time, only when we need it so ya.

So after this battle, we'll likely have our hands on some red steel. Do we want to do anything to our form with it? We've got a couple pristine souls, so we could potentially burn one to make as much of us red steel as we want once we've got a sample, as I understand it. It would be very nice to have our form armored with something that causes most weapons to decay upon impact- even more so with our weapon-catcher trick. The fact that red steel starts to decay if hit by other red steel weapons is a little concerning, but considering that we'd go for some form of blended red/blood/wootz steel, perhaps we could mitigate that somewhat with internal magnetomancy.

If we do use that strategy, we could still leave most of it as many small weapons and equip some of our minions with them, as Goran did. Who would get those?

>>331880

That won't work, I asked Bob if it was possible to weave the Red Steel into our Blootz Steel alloy and he said no. So if we were to eat it we'd end supplanting a portion of our Blootz Steel to do so. I'd rather not do that because it took a great deal of effort to create Blootz Steel and we had plans for how to improve it later on. We were going to go to the Caemlo Repository and find documents on the forging processes of the the magical alloys and work some the techniques into it to make Uber Blootz Steel.

Bob did recommend we use the Red Steel to upgrade Lorgk's Slayer's Apparel and give it a full treatment. I'd say that'd be a rather good use for it though we'll probably have a lot of Red Steel left over. Great-swords can weight anywhere from 4½-7 lbs, I'd imagine one designed for Premen knights could push 8-10 lbs. That means that we could have up to 200 lbs of Red Steel at our disposal. I think that would be enough to make an edge or adding a coating of it to of all our Premen suitors' weapons. Even then there still might be some left, and if there is I guess we can reinforce Arkus' robes with it.

Okay, okay, I just got this incredible idea. So. So what you do is you take a bunch of Red and Blue steel. Right? And you make small blades of them, about the length and width of your middle finger, with a joint in the middle. Now, you take a longass chain, about as long as two human arms. Now, slap this chain onto a long slab of Necrosteel, which is long and has a semicircular end, and a square one. With me? Okay, cool. Now, stick this whole assemblage into a bigass steam engine to make the chain rotate along the slab of necrosteel as incredibly high speed.

We then size this bad boy up until it's about hald as large as a person, and either a) give it a handle, or b) strap it to mordre's arm, detatching if possible the tentacles because MAGICAL FUCKING CHAINSAW.


Now, the main issue here is the conflicting colors. Namely, black would degrade the effects of Red and Blue, Red would wear against blue, etc. However, the three never touch: Red and Blue will always have space between them if you follow the normal guidelines for the chain on a chainsaw, at this size, the chain will seperate the other two colors from the black steel as well. The Red Steel will rip open wide wounds, the blue steel will allow for a constant edge at the least, and the black steel will allow for an easy follow through with the swing, as it necrotizes the flesh it touches and makes it that much softer. Furthermore, if we could get our good inventor mistress to lubricate the whole thing with water (probably with a tank situated on Mordre's shoulder) as well as powering it with steam (heating the water in the engine with our very soul furnace) and you have a MAGICAL CHAINSAW that RIPS THROUGH ARMOR, leaves INNUMERABLE AND GREIVOUS WOUNDS, and, when it doesn't kill, leaves pain and dead flesh in its wake. Hell, leave out the blue steel if you like and make it ALL RED.

GODAMMIT TRIP! I basically had the same idea, just way less complicated...

>>331865
Mhm. Picture kinda looses the use of our hand, doesn't it? Wouldn't it be better either under-slung or on our shoulder or side?

That would be out crazy tentacle hand anyway.

>>331956
That's true. And I don't want our saw-arms gone. I want them at Gundam Sawing levels.

Please oh god, please make Ugrokk art!

Bob, a Question:

The magic list never included Cryomancy. Does this mean ti doesn't exist and 'temperature control' would be under Pyromancy?

>>331988
more like it it was just not on the list.

>>331982
there is at least one on the wiki page. what kind of picture are you thinking of?

>>331990
Anything so Ugrokk doesn't die? He did roll a one, and unless it's 'roll under', then I want pictures to keep my favorite 'Solid Snake' Premen who is more elocute then a bookcase filled with dictionaries. I mean we already lost the bloody hand and the magic man...I don't wanna loose anyone else.

>>331990
A WIN PICTURE! A PICTURE THAT WILL SAVE THE DAY FOR OUR BROTHER!!!

>>331990
Proposed ideas for Ugrokk art:

- Ugrokk juggling axes

- Ugrokk wearing a three piece suit with a bowler hat, scoffing and Goran and his lack of class

- Ugrokk bro fisting Oggroth

- Ugrokk as Sam Fisher/James Bond/Solid Snake

- Ugrokk looking on disapprovingly as Bang and Oggroth have their eating contest

>>331995
YES! THESE ARE ALL AWESOME!

>>331995
ok i'll try one when i'm not falling asleep

>>331997
Thanks. I wanna see some of these pictures - Ugrokk as Snake, or Fisher is awesome - and I hope we can use these to help with Ugrokk's crappy roll.

>>331992
We'll probably have to use the Inverter-IG combo to heal him, if he doesn't outright die.

Then him and Oggroth can be true bros again.

>SECRET BONUS 004: LAST ONE STANDING
-In the spar against Mordre, the player controlled character must be the last standing of all those opposing Mordre.

here is one. i'll do the other ones but i'm going overseas, so i'll have to find some internet to get them here. see ya then.

>Nanal

I'm suddenly reminded of the back pages of FMA where the spirits of dead characters go up into the skies.

Every issue has at least one.

>>332027
What you are wearing, Bang, is called a Shirt. Also, pants. Aww, Nanal...

And... Thanks glue! This is awesome. And, if you're going over seas, be safe and all.

>>332027
>>332028
Thanks man. Who is that on the left... is, is that Arkus?

Anyways have a good trip man, keep safe.

Ok, so, just a head's up, it will be a few days before Golem Quest Thread 8 goes up, rather busy at the moment. Figured I'd give you all a head's up on that.

>AA Broken

FUCK.

While this is a horrible loss, it's also an opportunity!

This is the system I have invented to replace the AA. I call it the Prismatic Revolver, but I'm sure you fellows can come up with better. Essentially, what we need for this is:

Five Rubies (two for Eyes, three for kinetic absorption) and two Sapphires, Emeralds, and Diamonds. Now, the plan is to have all of these on a rotating plate, with runes directing stored charges towards whatever eyes are facing out, channeling it from ones not facing out. if we wanted to, we could further just use rubies for the whole thing, turning it into a Revolver AA.

>>332081
Thats an interesting idea, but I favor recovering the Ruby Eyes of Winter before we implement that mod, given that they contain a hero soul and were the end result of 2 pristine souls AND were hugely powered by generations of worship.

>>332082
Of course. This is a long term thing, considering all the gems need to be as good as the Eyes or better.

But hey, two or three gems from Lenryt... not that much of a price, eh?

>>332082
It's the AGELESS EYES OF WINTER.

>>332081
That's a fascinating idea, but we're going to have to recover the Eyes first, to keep Zagrath the Unseen's ability to pierce illusions, and find gems of sufficient size and power. I do not think such gems are easily found. We could maybe obtain gems of sufficient size by buying up enough small gems and using Geomancy to combine the gems, but that would not lend the gems the power that gave Amaranthine Annihilator great power.

...Actually, I just have a brainwave: would the stone from Leylines work for our purposes? They contain such power that Amaranthine Annihilator's power would be boosted to absolutely ridiculous levels. Assuming we can include them into the matrices that give us the ability in the first place. Assuming if we could get some. We do rely on magic for almost everything, and since Leyline stones tend to absorb magic, we wouldn't be able to obtain some directly with magic, would we?

What does everybody else think?

>>332084
I think that you are trying to steal from my good friend Moss. >:(

>>332085
I don't know if thats stealing moreso than some kind of awkward surgery on Moss' gullet.

Besides, im sure the investment in our lovable plant pet is worth more than it could offer to the AA.

I do love the idea Trip, although its a bit iffy if Arkus can pull off what we need with it I would guess. Oh well, more overworking to put on the back of our handy pack-mule-mage.

>>332085
...Wait, what? I thought that the stone in Moss was just a stone that gave off excess World Magic. In which thread did the revelation that the stone was such a stone that I was talking about (also, is there an official name for those things? This is getting awkward...) occur? Though, if the stone is from a Leyline...

Well, we got the stone in Mosmordre. The Curse occurred through the general destruction of the Leylines (which were repaired, I guess by the Deep Spawn of that region). Since Leylines are made of that stone, Mosmordre should be filled with Leyline stones. Even if there are not many Leyline stones there, there should be a general abundance of them there in comparison to other regions, I think. Someone want to point out where I am going wrong with this, if I am?

So, um, no. I am not stealing from Moss. Actually, I want to help Moss grow. While improving ourself, of course.

...So, on a tangent, could Dorgrum help us in modifying our matrices so that we could eat gemstones? Bob said that eating gems wouldn't do much of anything because we were not made to eat gems somewhere, I think. So what would happen (i.e. what would we gain) if we were modified to eat gems and eat some of our rubies?

uhhhh... no. you guys are getting it all wrong. leyline stone is essentially raw ANTI-magic. it wraps around the leyline keeping it contained. the fact that a lot of it's energy still seeps through shows you how fucking powerful the things are.

Why does the blood iron have to flow for it to become a blood magic source? Is the flow just there to mimic normal blood? If that's the case, why doesn't blood need to be flowing in order to be used?

>>332088
I thought that was leyline crystal, and the stone was the earth that the leyline moved through?

Oh, man, I wonder how big Moss is now?

>>332090
It's been nearly a month since we've seen him. By the time we get back it'll probably have been a month and a half. We only had him for a month and a half before we left. In that time he went from about the size of a human torso to the size of a large horse. If his rate of growth continues at the same rate we'll see about the same amount of change. So I'd wager he's the size of an adult elephant or perhaps a baby whale by now.

>>332091
Good lord, we have a mount.
