“It was more like a… feeling in the air, like there wasn’t just a single thing, but a whole area that it inhabited surrounded you. If you felt it you may be able to sense it nearby, it is an unmistakable aura. I believe if you took them through, your clones would be able to sense it nearby, but not by sight.”

[Spirits are generally 0.01 times a PC Deity’s power.]

I think the implication is that this isn’t just a spirit, or any normal spirit, at any rate.

I think that a diety can command respectable amounts of power, BUT, it would be boring if nothing could match us, especially since there are about 10~ of us regularly posting we shouldn’t be able to combine and just raw power everything.

Ferren

“That depends, we have to locate it first. I believe this thing may be wielding some sort of power beyond that of a usual spirit, from the way he had spoken about himself he was more like a lesser deity, of sorts. We should be able to deal with him easily, but he seemed to feed on the corruption of the bloodshed around him, maybe we can use this to try and locate him by finding some sort of horrible events nearby, maybe brutal murders or crimes, maybe something else such as practitioners of dark arts.”

I consider this for a moment. “It is said that the Cynthreticans are supposed to be fairly evil by nature, I’ve heard this said many a time by mortal and deity that they are untrustworthy, and plotting. Maybe we can start our search there? I think it goes without saying that this thing cannot be left to his devices.”

“No Xin, the spirit is not red, it’s simply evil. I’m not sure what we should do about it, but what I plan on doing is discerning it’s origin and hopefully how to destroy it. I don’t know what it’s here for but I have bad feelings about it’s intentions.”

“That’s very much what I would like to know as well.”

“Nothing has transpired here above what I have spoken, for all I know. What happened here was a rogue spirit. It needed a host and that tells us it cannot have been anything with godlike powers. Maybe an incredibly old spirit can match a deity’s power? All I know of the thing was that it was no pushover, but apart from that all I have told you should suffice.”

I strengthen the forcefield, but it is weakening fast. “All the little efforts of two civilization’s armies are building up, my barrier will not last.”

“It’s as it seems I assure you. There was a dark spirit here feeding on the battle, the ferocity of it and the bloodshed. The spirit has been removed for now, but it was talking of finding a new host.” I don’t think he will notice that I am slightly weakened by the fight, but maybe he will notice that be the strength of the shield. If I am weakened by the fight it could not have been a mere spirit, and he’ll know. I suspect that he already has suspicions of something more complicated happening, so do I, but all I know is that neither of us know what is “really” happening here.

I try to strengthen the shield a bit more, a wave of force pushes the armies back again. “I heard you and the others were coming to fix this from someone, but I was here for the battle. I don’t know much about the causes but I knew you and the others wouldn’t have come if you didn’t have a solution in mind.”

I work on creating a barrier that splits the battlefields of the Anetechs and the Cynthreticans in half, seperating the forces from each other. The shield begins repulsing people from the battle lines, preventing the conflicts from proceeding briefly. This should bide enough time for the other three to do something about this before these people tear each other apart, but for now this is all I can do. The shields wont hold, and when they start to realise this they will begin trying to advance again, and conflicts will eventually pick up momentum once again. I just hope they don’t break through before it’s too late.

I send a flying message to Lotharian, Azorel and Asmel, maifesting itself as a flaming hawk. “I have stalled this war, and the corrupted spirit that was feeding on this conflict has been deterred.” (Best not to tell them it was something more than a spirit), “The rest is up to you, fix this while you can.”

The shadowy colossus in front of me had lunged with his right leg at the exact moment that Frostix had taken another swing at his other leg, the crack the ice sword made was now joined on the other side of the knee, taking out another chunk as if felling a stubborn tree. Ice danced from the blade, encasing the shadow’s legs from the calf downwards with thick layer. It seems stunned, when it forces downwards to lift it’s greatsword from my shield, it’s leg gives way, snapping and dropping the golem sideways, dark mists pour from it’s limbs and face, forming an orb.

WEAK BODY, MUST FIND A STRONGER HOST

The orb the descended, exploding again into smoke, and drifting into the air. That strange being gone from this place now for good. I throw my weapons down and raise myself to my hands and knees from the dirt. “What brings you here, this war is brutal, it must be survival that drives them at each other’s throats so fiercely. What business have you?” I try to sound merely curious, but cannot help but come across as inquisitive.

Topic: Forum Games / [Game] Deify

[I guess I can parse that.]

Ferren

The shadow is suddenly cracked in the leg from behind, the stoney crack on his leg crawls inches further, ice crawling across his leg, freezing it. Magical resistances can prevent damage, but only that which it sees as offensive, meaning if he makes a full coat of ice across that leg with his frost sword, we can use it as a chisel and the ice will dig into his leg before his magical protections kick in. The defenses seem to be a counter-weight spell, meaning forces incoming are met with an exact and opposite force that cancels all possible damage. When that crack opens up a bit more the surface of the magic will be broken.

I am currently, however, more worried for my own safety. I had been struggling but it did not work. I can morph and risk ending up inside the shackles still, but at least I would have my hands. Now the shadow of war’s attention has been drawn away by… Frostix? I haven’t seen this one in the flesh before, but it sounds like what he’s like from all the damn ice. I quickly morph into human form, twisting my body with my sword outstretched, smashing it into the same place the crack was, this time it sunk deep, a chunk of stone flying from the open gash. Then i noticed where the shadow’s sword was, overshadowing me. I tried to dodge but the shackles kept me in place, all I managed to do was pull out my shield and hold it above me.

He eclipsed my shield with his body, lunging forwards, and came down in a fierce assault, smashing his sword against my shield, leaving me in a crater. The hurt was not at all nice, but I can take more than a few of these attacks before I go down, hopefully Frostix can take that leg out and we will have basically attained victory if he has no other magic tricks in his sleeves.

I feel a sudden disturbance, apparently another battle has dawned, to the east. I gallop at breakneck speed and jump through the air, arriving at the scene of the fighting. Something feels not quite right about this place, a dark corruption has fallen upon this stretch of land, a creeping cold. The humans are fighting one another, savage frenzy consuming them. This is no honorable fight of any variety, or a battle, or a war. This can only be described as a bloodbath.

I descend upon the fight, shattering weaponry, crude knives and rusted swords left right and center, pulling the humans from one another. This will only end in mutual slaughter, there is no reason in this conflict.

And there it is again. Distant at first, but creeping, stalking the shadows, under cover, in the recesses of your sight, of your mind, but becoming ever more apparent. The corruption has it’s grips on this area. I attempt to fight it, when it comes to providence, with my power but it is not enough to combat the build-up. Icicles begin forming, the grass turns to stone, and is suddenly crushed underfoot by a grey man with burning blue pupils.

TURN BACK, WAR

The grey figure lurches closer, his footfall shattering the grass again. Dust swirls and coagulates, forming a greatsword in his grip. I heft my own blade, briefly feel it’s weight, and strike out with my sword, trailing fire and exploding on contact with the grey man’s colossal thigh, the stone cracks maybe a centimeter across, no more than a millimeter deep.

PATHETIC BEING

The grey man’s sword suddenly moves at lightning speed, I parry the blow, but the inertia is so much that my own sword pushes into my own flesh, crushing my breastplate from the side. This thing is no mortal, I put a massive amount of force behind that blow, he must have either a large amount of magic, or he is actually a deity of some sort himself.

“What even are you? You are no golem. Why did you call me war?”

The figure seems to be delayed slightly, but I know there’s no point trying to get in an attack of opportunity.

I AM WAR, YOU ARE WAR. YOU ARE THE HONOUR OF WAR, I AM THE SHADOW OF WAR.

I use the moment to attempt to morph back into stallion and escape but before I manage to escape the scene I am caught at the feet, shackled to the ground with chains of rock. I struggle to escape them but they drain my power.

I WILL DESTROY HONOUR.

“I’m not going to let that happen.”

“Arkfurionsk, I would say not necessarily. Belief does not imply existence and vice versa.” I have the feeling I would have glanced at him with skepticism, if I were present. I scry his thread of war, tweaking it until I find a battle between them. “I would not be so quick to believe you can fight this one, I see this battle in the web, and it will be his victory.” I smile an invisible smile before returning to the web, hoping for any major wars I can scout out and prepare for, but unfortunately it was a clean schedule. Maybe I can get some other work done.

“Anyway, a conflict of this sort will not help you or your petty pride, Arkfurionsk. Better go assault more weaker beings.” Perhaps I would not have been so rude if I were actually present, but I doubt he could overcome me in my own field of expertise, perhaps he could overcome me in other ways, but if it was a fight, I’m sure I would win. I guess the reason I got so annoyed was the way he spoke of his victories, all trickery and no actual feats of combat, picking on the weak and peaceful such as her.

After scanning the landscapes, the answer was clear. There was no more fighting this night.

I split my sword into three shards, sending one back to the meeting in case of latecomers, and the other two I send scouting for activity, and I wait.

I see two gods have arrived since I last checked.

Ferren’s Representative

The scabbard of a bastard sword materialises once more. “Hello, fellow dieties. Do you have any idea what’s going on?”

“No audio, so the meeting is over.”

I unsummon the blade, and it returns to my back. I begin surveying the landscape for conflict. Back to work huh.

Ferren’s Representative

A burning longsword appears in Ferren’s place at the meeting, it proceeds to speak in a gruff voice with a metallic twang. “Looks like I’ve missed everything eh? Someone care to give me a summary of what’s going on?” The representative continues, “I sense two wars, one has ended, a futile battle. A second, greenskins pillaging slightly across human borders and have been met with harsh consequence. This has ended also,the Orcs fled deep into their own land again. I’ve been busy, as my domain is in the center of battle.”

Whirling blades, clashing on shields. Metal on metal all around me. I conjure a recurve bow and one arrow of flames, I release the tension, dashing the orc captain’s head in with a torrent of heat, so bright and fierce that his allies are dazed. When coming to their senses the greenskins start to retreat faster than fleeing rabbits, several being mown down by horseman’s spears in a flanking charge. I hear around me the cheers of martial victory. the adrenaline, still pumping, fuels their cries into a glorious cacophony, which almost distracts me from an arrow heading vertically down towards me, upon catching it, a message unfurls from the shaft. A meeting, and the message is minutes later than the actual meeting starts.

“I wonder who’s afterthought I was this time.” I sigh, morph into steed form and begin riding towards the meeting.

Name: Ferren

Alternate Name(s): The Spellsword, Firemane

Title(s): Bearer of the Firebrand,.

Appearance: Human female, long brown hair tied in a pony tail. Can also appear as a black steed of fire that only touches strangers. When she appears in human form she is usually in fairly battered steel armour, holding a sword that is on fire. Fairly tall and lean in stature.

Personality
Base: Ferren values much, over anything else, martial prowess in order to earn her respect, she is not stubborn, but firm in what she believes to be the correct course of action, and, unyielding in cause and combat, will fight to the death.
Perceived: Many people believe she brings justice, and do not recognise a higher purpose than to balance karma by purging evil doers and rewarding those who did well in combat.

Overall: Intervention in many losing fights between humans, Ferren is a bringer of firm justice, and a cause that is not known. She picks her fights what looks like at random to humanity but she alters these battles for the greater good of existence and the race, in the long run.

Focus
Battle: Ferren is not just good at martial combat, but magical, she can enhance herself and allies speed, strength and even shield people from powerful ranged magics by deflecting them from her allies. She can also enhance people’s brains to make their reflexes sharper. Generally, the army she is a part of becomes strong enough to defeat the other by enhancement and by being protected from dangerous weapons such as magic. She can enchant weapons and armour with fire, and harness the power of destructive jets of fire in the form of a spear, most of her battle magic comes in the form of conflagration or flames.

Backstory: Formed in a war, a battle so fierce and even that neither side let up for almost 3 years of combat, until the leaders of the forces decided to end it in martial combat, the leader of the human army, against that of a destructive force of nature, ice elementals. At the last minute of the battle, the ice golem caved in his horse’s chest cavity. The leader rallied himself and kept fighting, and fighting, not letting up until certain death was upon him. Suddenly the horse’s soul leaped from his body, made of fire and blood, and stampeded over the ice golem who was poised to deal the final blow, trampling him and melting the ice away. This was the first incarnation of Ferren, the Firemane, born in the heat of battle and turning the tide in favor of the humans since that very moment, ice elementals now are hidden in the depths of the earth, encased in ice deep in underground caves, and in the sea, and on the poles, waiting for a chance to bring war again.

Furthermore, if he is really a cop, the mafia will NK him first night so we’ve just got a dead cop on our hands, which is NOT good and does not help the town. If he was really a cop he would have realized this.

I will ask that doctors do not protect him N1 so if he’s not NKed N1 we can safely say that he is scum pretending to be cop(excluding the possibility of stupid gambits) and can’t rely on the “DOCTOR PROTECTED ME THAT’S WHY I DIDN’T DIE” argument.

So what you are saying is:

We should let the cop die? That’s pretty dumb…

You say I have a sure way to die, but that’s because you are asking the doctors not to protect me.

Basically this means that I am 100% going to die, why would this ever be good?

Not only that…

The whole point is, a decent mafia wont waste a kill on me, not now you’ve said that. You know why?

A) a good mafia doesn’t target a claimed cop because there is a bigger chance for doc protect.

AND B) because if they don’t shoot me, you’ve already said that you were going to lynch me, dealing with the mafia’s problem, meaning they don’t even have to shoot me for me to die especially now you’ve said your big strategy out loud.

All this has done is basically say “I want the cop to die, because I think he’s just a scum fakeclaiming cop.” but the way you are doing it, even though I’m the cop, I’m still going to die regardless of whether I am innocent or not.

For this reason, I am going to FoS Helltank for trying to get rid of the cop. That method is so flawed that it’s not even funny.

I think what he is trying to do here, is that he is a mafia, which means he knows I am town, so he’s actually trying to push through for this strategy for a simple reason: From his point of view that means that I am 100% a cop, but not only that, he thinks that if he can get the 100% mortality rate strategy through then actually he can spare a kill on me for the lynch tomorrow, everything he has suggested would actually benefit the mafia. Not only that, for his point of view, it actually means that tomorrow’s lynch would ALSO be a surefire lynch on a town, meaning two town deaths in a row.

He wouldn’t even look like a mafioso if he got away with it.

Voting Helltank because if he was thinking in the best nature of town, he would have at least tried to think of a strategy rather than just saying “Let’s all just let this guy die!”

This isn’t actually an OMGUS. For those who think I’m just trying to dress one up, take a hike.

On another note.

Fun fact: I’ve never lied a roleclaim on kongregate.

I claimed scarlet in bloodmist.

I claimed cop in a mafia a while ago.

I claimed ogre dad in Fantasy Mafia.

And I claimed as a jester in the TOMYHES.

In my mafioso play style, sure, I am pretty aggressive and risky, which fools people into thinking I am more likely to be town usually, but as a rule I never roleclaim as scum. The only times I’ve ever roleclaimed I’ve been subsequently lynched/killed within 1 day/night. This is the reason I don’t do it as mafia, because i know that I’ll come out worse than I went in.
