I think you may have left off at Marvelous Marienburg, rather than a mere 6 months ago. As six months ago was near "Spikes, Horns, and Stone 15".

I honestly thought Tullaris was the Chosen of Khaine sent to kill us.

Well, this all blows up in our faces and we need a distraction I do have an idea...
Loudly accuse Khaela Mensha Khaine -- pedophile, rapist, and patron of cowards -- of betraying Artharti to Chaos.
Assuming his statue doesn't immediately blow us up with eye beams, that should make some unignorable waves.

We must shout this at some point, preferably in Druhir so all the Druchii will understand it.

Naw, the Emperor's maid, the former human Chosen of Khaine, said her remaining contacts says among human cult has made a new Chosen that is being sent out to Freddy.
Despite sharing... basically everything, the human and dark elf cults of Khaine are separated, and thus killing Tullaris was more of a happy bonus for defending our home.
We still have a Chosen that wants Freddy specifically dead.

considering our security detail has likely cut their teeth on dark elf Khainenit assassins of centuries of experience and have improved their security measures appropriately that guy is going to have a horrible time trying to do that

To be fair, their last Chosen got very close when she was sent to kill Big Magnus, bypassing all his security and got into his damn room.
The only reason why she failed is cause Magnus was able to talk her out of it and work for him instead, which is an incredible feat in its own right, but the fact was that the Emperor was very nearly killed and all his security, mundane and magical, was slipped past by her.
That means that another Chosen could achieve the same results if they are skilled enough, and unlike Magnus I don't think Freddy could talk them down.

You are all laughing, but look at it from Freddy's perspective.
He's faced down three divine Elf Avatars before, two of them in combat.
In comparison Khaine's champions... fail to impress.
Malekith is best known for fleeing a trial by holy fire in terror. And has arguably spent the rest of his life throwing a tantrum to distract from his shame while being protected by his mommy.
Freddy willingly underwent at least one equivalent trial depending on how you count.
Tullaris is well-known for using divine blessings to flee the Battle of Tor Dranil.
And fled from Freddy himself across two cities before being killed by him.
Khaine himself waited until the night of the year he was most powerful to attack Hultressa. While she was unconscious and incapable of contesting his Will.
Is Freddy, a smith himself by trade originally, sure that Vaul was not blind and lame before Khaine fought him?

HHAHAHAHAHA ahh , wait your serious let me laugh some more HHAHAHAHHAH... , let be honest here whatever threat a human assassin from the cult of khaine presents its nowhere near as deadly as a dark elf assassin you know those guys that begin their carrier as killers as infants thrown into Coldrens of boiling blood and if they survive that the go through brutal training that will last decades longer than most humans will live before embarking on a centuries long carrier as assassins of the dark elf temple of khaine until something kills them
Emperor Magnus's security has not been tested by those dark elf assassins ours has
and I doubt the trained killers of a human cult of khaine can compare

I wouldn't discount a human assassin just yet, but do agree our new Gray Wizard security measures will make direct infiltration into castle and other important locations much more difficult for them.
Just saying we shouldn't be overconfident and don't discount anything until we see the corpse ourselves.
Malekith didn't flee in terror: he was carried out by his allies after suffering horrific burns. He is an incredible, horrible, dangerous threat, who is able to do things like fight N'Kari one on one.
Tullaris didn't flee from Frederick, but was forced to retreat, because all other Druchii besides his followers began to fall back, while ignoring his threats to continue the assault.
As I've stated several times before, he was very much outclassing Frederick in their fight before he started getting hit by the magic flying around.
He would've killed or grievously hurt Frederick twice, if Kragg's runefist hadn't saved the latter from that. (This was due to a 6+ ward save working twice in succesion: something quite ridiculous.)
While we managed to beat the Druchii due to a lot of preparation and good rolls, Torroar still showed us just how horribly dangerous they are
Actually, according to that logic, those DE assassins should've been able to handily defeat the Grey wizards guarding against them. However, they were the ones who actually died. Age and experience are not the only factors affecting a battle.
Lea, as a former champion of Khaine, has already shown a glimpse of just deadly they can be.
Humans like Magnus the Pious and Frederick himself have shown that those at the very pinnacle of humanity certainly can stand a chance against old and skilled elves, even when their skill and experience are lesser.
So, yeah, that champion still is a very dangerous threat

takes me back to braid tugging of the wheel of time series lol
Indeed. That fight was extremely close to the wire. In addition to the runefist it's the fact that Frederick has essentially trained to fight on even after receiving debilitating injury. And his alcoholism has him trained to maintain focus even when his mind is absolutely disoriented by alcohol. Which for Tullaris would be really rare to face in an opponent because 90 percent of the time said opponent will have died earlier in any battle they received said injury. In druchii society the amount of trust, loyalty and security needed for a training regime built around deliberately crippling yourself and then being healed competently would be … difficult.
To be blunt humans in the old world are made hyper aware of the fact that in addition to all the monsters around them they can in fact be slaughtered by all manner of things objectively inferior to themselves on an individual level. Druchii as can be seen here sometimes lack awareness to the same degree.
Well he could get them drunk instead. Actually with those alcoholic vapour engines I can imagine some hilarious scenarios of people getting inebriated by accident.

Absolutely God awful day yesterday. And day before. LOTs of unexpected issues suddenly have appeared for parent, and I apparently may have done something to my mouth cause I woke up last night a few hours after going to bed from sheer pain on the top left side molar area. Bleh. Gonna have to go find a dentist.
Will continue trying to write, but actual thread activity from me is likely to drop more than usual for the next little while.
Vote closed and it is entirely possible that in her prime Leah could have kicked Frederick's ass up between his ears. But that would have been when she was mainlining Khaine juice. And she also wouldn't have come into it like a duel as Tullaris did, just straight up appeared when Frederick was on the toilet or bath or something. Remember that Frederick is very proficient in the world. Nowhere does that state that there aren't other very proficient people.

Kemmler still has four of the Nine Books of Nagash right?
"A Bonestrewn Path - 7" didn't seem like Kemmler currently had access to his four Books of Nagash, but that might just be because he left the books in Mannfred's Observation Tower.
Last edited:
He still has his books, that's what his mobile undead ogre bookcase is for. Basically kind of like a Mortis Engine that's got legs and can be a bit more subtle than an enormous spooky Dark Magic floating ship/chariot thing. Arkhan was more focused on actually straight up killing him rather than taking the books and running away, because both of them are supremely arrogant necromancer people. He wasn't going to try and just scurry in and yoink them, he was going to kill the pathetic mortal that dared to gather them up, and also to wrest control of Krell for Nagash's purposes. In the process, all of Kemmler's forces were destroyed or dominated, but he barely managed to escape whilst ravaged physically and mentally and also with his soul scarred by Arkhan's superior magical power and knowledge.
But yes, he has his books, but he's also got other books and some of the stuff he stole from the Sorcerer's Islands. The reason he was in Mourkain is because it's a far greater locus for Dark Magic, which is part of why it was built their originally, whereas the tower that he has claimed for himself that used to be Mannfred's secret observation post is deliberately out of the way and not particularly in a place of major magical power - lest others seek it out and sense a huge wellspring of Dark Magic that they'd want to claim. The tower is a sanctuary and place of study and secrecy. Mourkain is a place of power, and Kemmler was feeling confident about hanging around there and summoning more spirit hosts to his side, building up more undead forces, experimenting with the greater Dark Magic drawn there, etc.
Then Arkhan booted his ass from one side of Mourkain to the other, nearly killed him, and now Kemmler has yet again been forced to try and rebuild his forces and most importantly his actual health and strength in all three categories - body, mind, and soul - after the sheer damage Arkhan did to him. He still has all of his book, but he did lose a lot of scrolls, time, servants/slaves, etc.
The thing about Kemmler atm is that he's not willing to be parted from the Books. He's quite certain that if just left them alone, all four together, that someone would come and grab them. Like Arkhan did, because he sensed four of them at the same time in close proximity, and Arkhan has a particular connection with Nagash and his stuff. Not enough to stop the Crown of Sorcery getting thrown into the Realm of Chaos as a sacrifice, but that was a rapid thing when it was done and also Thorgar had an enormous horde around him with lots of force that would have crushed Kemmler in comparison, so Arkhan couldn't be so certain he'd win.
Arkhan cannot easily move in and out of Nehekhara, he has to be careful and measured about it, because if he's ever too far gone from position, he knows it's likely Settra will come and do thing that Arkhan would very much like him not to.

Ouch, sorry for tough days and toothache buddy, hope both get better soon. Can get toothache medicine like Ibuprofen or something like from store if you need it to tide you over until you get your dentist visit.
Take as much time as you need taking care of yourself and parent, since your health and wellbeing matter most to us bud.
Yeah, Khaine Chosen come in lots of different flavors just so long as murdering stuff is what they do regularly, be it an assassin, a frontline fighter, or something else.
Could be new human Khaine Chosen is a frontline fighter, but good odds that another assassin like she was and will try a more subtle method, so gotta be constantly vigilante.

Come and shred on the righteous waves off the coast that Arkhan has all to himself?
After all, Settra...surfs. 😋
Blow up the pyramid of nagash?
Sadly no. Every tomb king wished they could blow up the pyramid. They have not. Settra really, really hates it. The many times cursed thing just resists and even retaliates against any effort to damage it. Destroying the tower of Arkhan the black on the other hand. Possible.
I now have the mental image of Settra hanging ten on a surfboard made of bones. It will not go away!!
