Nyctohylophobia (Perma-death Quest)

Reader mode
I think Locator is the one @ChildishChimera wanted, so perhaps we could try it? I mean, you already voted for it twice, what's the difference now? And the vote mentions finding our friends.

Otherwise trying for an enchanted weapon doesn't sound too bad, though I don't know how much I want to stretch our luck. Combat is the last thing you want to do in these circumstances anyway.

The one that invokes the powers behind Harmonia's necklace just screams nopenopenope to me, though.

The spell of controlled magical backlash. I didn't invoke the Harmonia necklace, I invoke Harmonia herself, The goddess of order, I used the Harmonia necklace as a symbol or representative of misfortune or chaos, I included it because, the backlash of magic is misfortune and chaos, Harmonia brings order, so ordered chaos, If you failed a spell, misfortune already happens, what you would want is to at least control how bad and what kind of misfortune happens to Medea.


There are reasons to go back and foward, depending where our friends are, and even after they are found, going back is needed with sufficient preparations , at least every area must be accounted for and mapped. Discovering what mysteries each area holds , motives of Oriphel and the old man, denizens are vital.
There is the message in the obsidian area, that may or may not be important.
The unaccounted prison rooms,
The possibly sentient barefooted human? creature? that everyone avoided including Lucas, who is intelligent enough to set a trap, who had a defeated voice.
Possible survivors in the starting area.
There is still the missing Rachel who Oriphel shows us the memory of, Rachel may still be alive, if so then leaving her behind is bad form.
Finding friends and rescuing those that needs rescuing takes priority.
Tthen exploring and mapping the area, I rather finished exploring the current area, then go explore a newer area.
Disrupt whatever evil plans the badguy has or at the least evacuating our friends and survivors out first before confronting the badguy.

1. Is it viable to raise a army of undead, dryads and water spirits to conquer the whole land where Medea is captive at? or at the least make a deal with the denizens to help them reclaim the land from fake 'Maxwell'?
2. You mentioned Lucas has powers too? Is there such a thing as mana pool?
3. How viable is it to make a alliance with the spirits, denizens of the whole are, they can help provide muscle, informations, help rescue your friends, in exchange for you helping them prevent a apocalypse, retaking their home form fake Maxwell and against the goverment, since they have proven to not be morlly upright?

1. Not telling you since I want the extent of her abilities to be somewhat ambiguous. I mean, it would be boring if you guys knew how powerful Medea could be. Threat is eliminated.
2. I... do not recall ever stating that.
3. This is an odd question. Save it until the quest ends since I will be answering any and all questions players may have about the story, the quest, or the world. :3
 
We need a gameplan on how to actually defeat maxwell or at least find out what he is capable of.

The old man first tried to drive us away and now wants to trap everyone for some reason.
 
Does anyone know about Wiccan magic, or witchcraft.
We really need a spell to determined wether Wilhelm, has any surveillance or a method of watching hearing us, it may ruin any plans, if he can overhear them.
What about necromancy, does anyone know how to perform it?
 
both, either the characters in story or other sv players, their knowledge about necromancy.

Medea works best as a trojan horse than a all out assault. She is only one person.
 
Alright, so, I've let you guys talk this out long enough. Now is the time to make up your minds. I'll be closing the vote later today when I get off work, so if you still need to think or talk it over then ya better do it!

Vote Null and Void
  • Informational
    • Okay, actually, no. I will not accept the winning vote as it is. So I was doing the spell breakdown to determined the bonus, and I found that the end result for the bonus is fucking 90.

    This is essentially an auto-success and essentially broken as a result. So going forward I am going to have to, unfortunately, put some restriction on the ritual process. From now on, all words incanted during a ritual must be 10 or less. I hate to restrict you guys like this since I want you guys to have fun in this quest, but it isn't fun if you can cheese the system and make the game easier for yourself.

    The previous vote is considered void and will be held again. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

    • ...what do you mean by a winning vote, anyway? Because as far as I can see, we have the tie on the major issue (go forward, or go back).

    Yeah, your bonuses are a bit much - but then the spell system as it was without them was... a bit too brutal to make use of it.

    It actually had four votes, but for some reason it was split two and two in the tally.

    Yes, but so does going forward? We have 8 people split 4/4 on this topic.

    No matter, I'll take whatever wins in the end.

    I'll do the spell breakdown tomorrow, so I hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!!

    ​
     
    Sorry for the huge delay on this guys. I got sick over Christmas and then a bunch of real life drama happened that put me out of the mood to write anything. I apologize for the inconvenient wait and hope to get an update out soon. In any case here is the spell breakdown.

    -Use of blood (+5)
    -Inscribing the name of Michael, Archangel of Protection, for a defensive spell. (+10)
    -Invoking the archangel Michael. (+15)
    -Inscribing a cross onto the item (+10)
    -Inscribing the symbol of oxygen. (+0)
    -The incantation contains nine words. (+9)
    Total: +49

    Now the this makes the spell an automatic pass, which I am not too happy with to be honest, but since I've delayed this long enough I'll let it slide for now and skip the success roll. In the future, any spell ritual that is automatic pass happens again will be rejected out right. Please be mindful of this in the future.

    That said, someone roll me a 1d100 to see how well the spell does.
