Of Wolves and Witches (WHF Wizard Quest)

[X] Ambition. Daemons and monsters fall before you, rent apart by blade and spell. With every passing day you grow stronger; with every enemy slain your name is spoken by another adoring soul. Listen, and stand proud.

[X] Perfection. The horizon beckons, the infinite expanse of the ideal calling to you with siren sweet songs.. Live, grow, strive and prosper; one step after another on the path, until your father smiles with pride.

This totally isn't because of the corruption we just got.

[X] Glory. The clash of arms and the thrill of victory is an intoxicating mix, the triumph of victory over a worthy foe sweeter than the finest wine. The visceral thrill of bloodshed warms you in the cold depths of the night.

An Erika without her humanity or compassion or her faith in Ulric would most likely be a Khornate.

Partly because I feel it fits better, partly because I like the narrative of filial expectation and pride.
 
[X] Serenity. Peace, at last, is the only prize worth the name. You rest beneath shadowed boughs, swim through shining currents, live and laugh and love with friends and those closer still.

Peace, love, and fire.

This was amazing. Erika is twice as skilled in melee as a daemonette. That's damn impressive.

It's either Glory or Serenity for me, since Ambition draws Erika a bit too closely to all the confusing machinations of Tzeentch, and that seems like a real fucking hassle to deal with.

There's no peace yet in this world.

It's a bit weird - Daemonettes test against 60 when fighting in close combat normally, whereas Erika tests (with basic weapons) against 74. However Daemonettes have the Distracting trait which normally imposes a -20 penalty on all rolls when you're within a few yards of them, so without any magic they'd still be better than her.

Erika, of course, would opine that this is why she uses magic.

(Mechanically daemonettes wind up more skilled than bloodletters but also unable to take nearly as much punishment - very 'win or die' type things)

Oof!
Right.
Uhhh, gimme a second to think about what form we want, off-hand I cannot see how we get hit with anything other then Perfections given all the run-ins with Slannesh.

Okay so having double-checked the rules of corruption (At the time we first ran into it, our limit was ten) we're not DIRECTLY voting for a mutation or anything like that, unless something messed with Erika's Cool or Endurance.
So this is setting the stage for what we will have to watch out for in the future...Or deliberately fail in order to shed the Corruption.
Get too many points and we start rolling for Mutation. Let's not...
So.
I'm going to make a narrative arguement:
We ran into Slannesh cultists the first time we met the Bounty Hunter.
We encountered second cult when we took it to the Witch Hunter.
And now these were Slannesh Daemonettes.
Now if the other three had their pawns near Erika I don't recall. SOoo...

This is correct. Erika has not mutated, nor has she been notably corrupted in terms of her beliefs or personality.

She has, however, been marked by her exposure to dark magic and her injuries at the hands of actual manifest demons.
