Check her description of his new armor. Her eyes bleed after seeing it.
Remind me who TIM was?
Dead timelines only? I knew she was a time traveller, but I missed that detail.
Now, that's just not fair. The Maiden Who Was Ceathlynn has been warped by the Apocryphal Curse for possibly the same length as the Forebear's Procession.
Her mindset may be bizarre and distasteful, but one should sympathize with such a victim nonetheless. And one shouldn't judge her counterparts too harshly in light of it.
You're sounding about as badly-off as I remember being. Is there anything I can do to help?
I absolutely despite Ceathlynn. Normally, I make the odd comment about what I'd do if I won the lottery IRL, but right now I wish I'd won it back when the hiatus started so I could have bought some EFBs specifically meant to screw her over. An upgraded version of Slice Fate to hit him up with rerolls as both a 'screw the Maiden' EFB and an Epilogue booster. Something like Sunset Strike.
'Just as dawn banishes the night, so to does dusk banish the day. The sun may have to be dragged over the horizon, but dragged it is. The normal vulnerability of your Cloak and it's connected enchantments and attributes to light, flame, and daylight is now applied to these powers in turn. No longer may the light of day shelter anyone from your gaze. They are no more protected than you. This applies to everything from Protection to the Realm of Evening being able to shatter it's counterpart's control just as easily as the Realm of Daylight can the extrusion of the RoE Archmage uses.'
Or Eternal Night.
'Night and day should be equals. In fact, night should be the greater of the two. Simply look up at the night sky and you will see the darkness far exceeds the light. Why then should the light have any advantage whatsoever? This state of affairs will not stand. Negate any and all advantages of light, flame, and daylight against the Cloak of Evening, and to a lesser degree weaken their effects on Hunger in general. The night will end when Hunger wills it, or not at all.'
And 4 EFBs into a 100 Arete Praxis I can't talk about because it's a Patreon thing. That would have doubled what we saved up, and added another 70 on top of it, probably enough to hit 100 again since it's been 6.75 months. She'd stand no chance, and I'd be incredibly happy about that.
In the interest of screwing her over, I'm going to generate less salty content.
Okay, so here's my build for my Five
Wishes CYOA.
[W] True Immortality.
Need it for Cast Through Time and to take advantage of Growth.
[W] Growth.
As mentioned, combines really, really well with immortality.
[W] Thirteenth Hour.
Being able to effectively stop time is never not a great power, and it can add one twelfth of my timer onto Growth's bonus.
[W] Cast Through Time.
At a full 10 million years, increased to 10.83 by Thirteenth Hour, even divided among 13 Attributes, that's 833,333. More than enough to obliterate the multiverse a dozen times over, not unlike the madness happening in the Quest right now.
[W] Free the Genie. Unlocking a bunch of new Stats is really valuable to me, especially when they'll be well over 800K apiece.
[6] Improvement. Unlock Prowess. Even Prowess 2.5 is a great help in matters of skill. A general skill boost to my writing would be great. With ten million years, I could probably build up entire novels worth of actually good content instead of the meh stuff I push out on occasion. One last burst of Arete probably wouldn't do much at this juncture, but hey, it's better than nothing.
[W] Improvement. Unlock Protection. Attacks on my spirit are essentially the only method to kill me. Countering that will be important.
[W] Improvement. Unlock Charisma. Honestly, I'm probably going to try and find a way to feed this into Protection or Might like Hunger. Regardless, I'll need to work on something to keep myself from pulling a Plenary Brand and striking everyone dumb with ten billion impressions of me seared into their soul.
[W] Improvement. Unlock Magic. Probably the easiest way to do this. Has huge benefits for me, especially as my Intelligence, Wisdom, and Wits rise and it becomes easier to customize it.
[W] Improvement. Unlock Willpower. Yeah, the beginning at least of this build involves killing myself every day to abuse True Immortality for a Numeracy One-style refresh. I don't think I could do that even if I knew I'd be fine, but with an extra 2 Willpower? Probably be alright.
[W] Improvement. Unlock Wits. I'm a slow reader, and being able to process things faster is going to be a huge help. Dien proved how great high Wits can be. While he had an infinite Wits, I think conceptually expanded 800K+ Wits would probably be largely indistinguishable from infinity for most beings below the level of a multiversal entity.
[W] Improvement. Unlock Theft. At the 100K level, I could steal concepts. Memetic Carmen Sandeigo would be an amateur, especially with Prowess bolstering me. I could likely steal powers from any enemies I made, rendering them non-threats if they managed to bypass Charisma and Protection somehow. I wonder if I could turn myself into a Font of Wonder by 'stealing' mystical energy from myself, Protecting myself from the negative consequences without retrieving the energy, and then tossing the energy into the cosmos.
The idea is that I get chucked 10 million years back, and just wait while Growth works on my Attributes until I'm unassailable.
