Age of The End (D&D 5E) (IC)

[Sherwood]

Beorin looks at the entrance with a bit of trepidation. Do I knock, or just go in? Using his manners, he decides to try knocking first.

you Knock on the door, and it is opened from the other side my a woman... It's the same woman from earlier too!

 

[DuckPrince]

Xai smugly grins and states. "You are very welcome... Now why don't we get down to business?"

"Yes, business." He agreed after giving a slightly delayed greeting to Dexterous. "You mentioned something about a Warlock pact?" He asked Xai, legs crossing and whip-like tail laying across his lap.

 

[Sherwood]

you Knock on the door, and it is opened from the other side my a woman... It's the same woman from earlier too!

Beorin looks at her and offers up a deep bow. "M'lady, I followed this map here, hoping to learn more about my mentor and god, and how my powers work for me. Please, am I in the right place?"

 

[TyranntX]

"No worries, Captain. Loose lips, sink ships." Toryk greeted, sitting down at one of the proffered chairs.

"But I did no expect you Xai or myself be of the same magic as ye. I just may have to try and get you to show me a thing olightning. This lightning magic."

"And speaking o' learning..." Toryk looked over at Xai. "Aye, down to business." He agreed.

"Yes, business." He agreed after giving a slightly delayed greeting to Dexterous. "You mentioned something about a Warlock pact?" He asked Xai, legs crossing and whip-like tail laying across his lap.

XaI cracked his neck for a moment, as if getting comfortable. His attendant, Demise, pulls out a sheet of paper and a quill. she sets them in front of Kalvienne. "Just sign the bottom Kalvienne, then shake hands with Lord Xai... with your dominate hand." she would say

Xai would address Troyk. "Now, that we finnally have the free time... what questions would you like answered first?"

 

[TyranntX]

Beorin looks at her and offers up a deep bow. "M'lady, I followed this map here, hoping to learn more about my mentor and god, and how my powers work for me. Please, am I in the right place?"

"Yes, this is the house of Gagail. Come in, the others have been waiting to meet you." she insisted, as she opend the door wider and invited you inside.

 

[Sherwood]

"Yes, this is the house of Gagail. Come in, the others have been waiting to meet you." she insisted, as she opend the door wider and invited you inside.

Feeling anxious, Beorin nods. "Uh, yes, of course. Thank you." He steps in, looking about in curiosity.

 

[TyranntX]

Feeling anxious, Beorin nods. "Uh, yes, of course. Thank you." He steps in, looking about in curiosity.

There is an even mix of races sitting at tables and eating meals fit for a grand-child of the god king. Gagail himself was sitting in the back of the (very ornate) room. where he was eating his won lunch beside an empty chair (Presumably where the woman was sitting).

XaI cracked his neck for a moment, as if getting comfortable. His attendant, Demise, pulls out a sheet of paper and a quill. she sets them in front of Kalvienne. "Just sign the bottom Kalvienne, then shake hands with Lord Xai... with your dominate hand." she would say

Xai would address Troyk. "Now, that we finnally have the free time... what questions would you like answered first?"

He looked amused. "To sign without even trying to read? Is this also in that language we don't understand?" He asked, looking down at the paper. "I won't be expected to kill innocents, right?" He joked lightly. But since it was Xai.. was it that much of a joke? He still took the pen and signed his name on the bottom of the paper where he was told to. Hopefully the risk would be worth it.

After signing the paper, you shake hands with Xai. and you feel a Stabbing pain on the index finger on your dominate hand. As it has transformed into a blackened reptilian digit.

Spoiler: The Destruction Pact

Your pact is a hybrid between The Celestial pact from warlock, and The Wild Mage path of Sorcerer. HOWEVER, instead of random shit happening. There's a chance (1d100) your spell will be transformed into 'Destruction Magic'! The pact starts at a 1% chance, BUT every week you do not destroy something equal to or larger than your size class, the chance increases. it will never decrease so be careful of that. Destruction Magic are special spells that (as the name suggests) cause or could lead to destruction. When you reach Warlock level 30, you may cast a Destruction magic spell once per day.

Xai would address Troyk. "Now, that we finnally have the free time... what questions would you like answered first?"

Toryk leaned back, "Firstly, I do be wanting to know how this core thing works. Have no been getting but scant answers about how to shore it up. But when I mean stronger, I mean unbreakable." Ambitious, perhaps. But he hadn't any reason to believe limits mattered as much here. Not when death was already overcome.

"Secondly. I got an end rat to destroy utterly, I need to be stronger and I need to be knowing how to do that. In significant ways, mind you. I'll fight fight him thousands times and die each if it means I get one step closer every time."

"Them do be the most prominent. These powers o' mine. Plenty to learn about them and how they work, and I trust that be part of what you would be learning me."

He had plenty more questions, but this was a start.


"Also..." Toryk pulled out the paper detailing the quest with the giant reptile, plunking it down onto the table. "... unless you do be giving me the fortune you promised up front, I need coin. How do I go about killing this beasty, and how would I go about bringing it in alive? I need to know me chances."



"Ah, and lastly. Evora, the girl chosen by Lord Chronis. She will no be too keen on staying by herself. What do be the policy on lodgings between gods? And what can be arranged?"

He winced, gripping his left hand as his index finger became blackened, scaled and clawed. Not that he didn't have claws already. "A-ah.. this is a new look.." He whispered before he nodded to what Toryk said. "More than 10 chances at potentially being killed would be very much fun." He commented lightly.

Xai would hold up a closed fist, and count off the issues which Troyk had.

"Can you stop a man from dying of old age? A house from collapse via decay? What about the fading of a star? Everything must come to ruin, thus nothing safe for myself is invincible, your core will shatter one day... all you can do is delay it. thus there is not much I can do other than recommend jobs to increase your stock." he raised his index finger.

"As much as I'd like to tell you the answer, Gagail has forbidden me from stating that information. But I can give you a hint, if a Mortal has done it before... then why not brush up on your history and do the same?" He raised his middle finger to add to a count of two fingers.

"The way your ascended powers work, are not so much as how to use them... as they are how you'd like to use them. Use your imagination, then call upon your powers to manifest it." he raised is ring finger, adding the count to three.

"That's a suchomimus, meaning it's home to the water. Your powers are Lightening based... I don't think I need to do the rest of the math for you... so long as you know what Tranqulizers are." he raised his pinky finger, adding the count to four.

"You'll have to take that up with Chronis, as she is not my subordinate to raise." He raised his thumb. that's five fingers. and with that his grin widened. "Is there anything else you'd like to ask?"

At Xai's rhetorical questions. Toryk actually answered. "Aye, that ye can. Immortality be no mere fish tale. It do be achievable for those who do pay the price, many stories be told, and much through history. The question be, how thoroughly can one beat death? Me here, shows that it do be real. Throughly destroyed I be, yet rebuilt I was nonetheless. I do plan to beat death, Lord Xai. It only be the means that are unknown to me. Even should my only chance be true divinity, then that be what I will do. I need to know how much control I have over this core."


Toryk then gave a disbelieving frown,"The God-King has forbade you to tell how to kill his enemies? And who's side do the gods of this realm be on? Their own realms or the End's? Do you no be understanding that is such idiocies that have lead your realms to be in such a disadvantageous position? Hell be coming yet and all he do let happen be to let ye give a hint? Lord Xai, even you be knowing that this cannot be any more than folly. Perhaps I may go see him myself."


"A versatile powers the ascension magic seems to be. I got the imagination to do that. But the fundamentals, that shared between all the powers. That I do must know. Like the pain, its consequences, and how to use the power freely without it. Furthermore, if this power be something I must learn in my own.... what exactly is it that YOU will be mentoring me on? After all, you be the one that guaranteed my revenge on Ratta. As well as the fortune of a thousand lives. A promise of both, not the chance of both. I cannot hold ye to either, but I the delivery of at least the fortune will pay you dividends. The gift of Desert Eagle do be a lovely one, of which I give to you my deepest thanks. With it, I shall see its acts of destruction are compliments of Xai himself. But there is much more that I do be needing. A workshop, for example, one to use for such weapons."

Toryk took up the quest paper again. "A sucky minus. Aye, such thoughts has already crossed me mind. I know what Tranqulizers are. But those I am familiar with may be no too good against a creature this large. Where I can i get a big one I can shoot from a gun?"


At the speaking of lodgings, Toryk nodded, "I shall ask Lord Chronis on the matter later."



He raised his head to look at Xai, "Aye, another question. What do be the catch of all this? What duty do it be you wanting me for?"

 

[D. Rex]

Toryk paused and asked one more question, "Oh. And why do it be that random magic stuff happens to everybody?" He asked. "Like turning into a giant squiffy duck."

 

[TyranntX]

He raised his head to look at Xai, "Aye, another question. What do be the catch of all this? What duty do it be you wanting me for?"

"Oh I never said you weren't going to become immortal... I'm just trying to say not confuse it with invincibility. You have far to go until you reach that, but if you want to reach it sooner... You came to the correct god."

(OOC: It is possible, but it only as an after story goal. got to keep things fair after all)

"An End Demon cannot be killed Troyk, only Banished. The Library in the Pillar of History has records about his last rampage if you are interested... As for Gagail, I honestly could tell you what he's thinking. Seems his state of mind is worsening, or maybe it's something else... He may not think like either of us, but he is still the god king"

"My job is to provide guidance, I'll give you my two cents if you are questioning the direction of your growth. For example... As it stands, you are quite aggressive with your powers, using it more as a weapon than as a tool. Though it's not an incorrect approach, I would suggest you think of your powers not as an extension of your weapon, but of your soul. I will also be overseeing much of your training should think you need it... Merely speak to me, though you may also train under other gods they are no where near as... Efficient... as I am. And on the note of wealth, well you are already on that track of building that fortune, That quest of yours wasn't posted just because someone needed help."

"The Pillar of Balance sells most of the ranged weapons up here, with the Pillar of might occasionally selling the others. Search either of those places if you are looking to add to your arsenal or reload it."

"Your duty, is to take back the world from the hell knights and maintain the peace. All I ask, is that if you see something shiny the Hell knights have... is for you to break it." Xai stated off in rapid fire each and every follow up question before taking a swig of a large tankard of ale.

Toryk paused and asked one more question, "Oh. And why do it be that random magic stuff happens to everybody?" He asked. "Like turning into a giant squiffy duck."

"Oh that's my doing, I am mainly trying to cut down on the world making groan inducing puns and references... Mostly out of a Malicious compliance from another campaign, Buuuuut i could turn it off if you'd like." He grinned smugly

"I do no need invicincibility so long as me rebirth is forever assured. And that be do what I'm getting at. A fortune of a thousand lives requires a thousand lives to spend it."

"If an end demon that can not be killed.... then I simply have to be more creative, the do I not be? Should he not die, then it gives me the pleasure of eating his heart for breakfast forever. Should he not die. He will be made to live in perpetual terror that I be around every corner. That even in his own realm he do no be safe from me. Should his erasure from existence do no be possible... then it be only a worse fate for him."

"Gagail... God King or no, his duty to this realm do be greater than all of us combined. Mayhap you gods need to press harder in what he be needing to do. The enemies be at the gates, and they be breaking it down."


"I shall take your wisdom, of the Library on Pillar of History, as well to expand on what I can do with me new powers. I shall see how broad of a brush I can paint with it. Expect me to be taking full advantage of your oversight in my training."

"How about a down-payment then. A loan of a few thousand for me to get started. With interest paid from this quest. Four thousand borrowed, five thousand to be paid back."


"Aye, Lord Xai, if it be breaking the demons booty, then expect me to go above and beyond. I shall leave them with nothing. Salt their fields, scuttle their ships, poison their wells, and take their women. I will work to make them intimately understand the meanings of defilement and loss."




At the very final answer, Toryk very much had the urge to flip the table. "Ye what?! Do ye be knowing how much of a headache this do be causing in the world? Aye, turn it off! Do we no have bigger things to worry about than that? Things do be miserable enough as is without any sense of morale being punished."

 

[DuckPrince]

Listening to these two have their back and forth, Kalvienne had to rub his forehead. "Listening to this might give me a headache.." He sighed a bit. "Please turn it off, if someone is annoying enough with their puns, they can always get a tankard to the face, Xai." He said before he pondered. "Do you have any sage advice for me and my powers, o' great and powerful mentor?" He asked. TyranntX D. Rex

 

[Equusheart]

Brea looked on as the rest of her group either chose or were chosen by their mentors. She hesitated in the arena a moment, not really sure she wanted to approach the Lord of Destruction. But as she looked around and watched the others leave and sighed. She was in a place she didn't know. She knew it was probably best to stay with the other two Xai had chosen, at least until she got her bearings.

Brea shadowed along behind Toryk and Kalvienne, her eyes moving everywhere as they went. She listened in silence as they spoke with Lord Xai. Her eyes moved over the deity. The others had feared him, but was there anything really to fear?

"Then it seems you have a but one solution... don't die" he would say with a snicker.

"Good luck with that, I look forward to the show..."

"Not much point in it now, Gagail's power is fading from the world, in a few more decades he'll be dead... and then one of us will be tasked to take his place. So do me a favor, no matter how ridiculous Gagail's words may be, humor him. You can do most of what you please under me so long as you obey the Ascended creed."

Spoiler: The Ascended Creed

1. Do not challenge Xai, lest you seek your destruction
2. Do not tamper with the Temporal Slipstream
3. Do not Tamper with the Spatial Array
4. Trust your Mentor, and they will trust you.
5. The assisting of a Hell Knight is Punishable by Damnation

Xai would summom a bag pf coin, there's 4,000g inside "I expect this will be payed off from your upcoming quest? Because if so why not Take Equusheart and FactionParadox while you are at it? Build up some team skills."

Lastly, Xai snaps his figures and states with a glint in his eye "The pun system is now disabled and The chaos boxes are now in play... Have with that." His attention then drew to Brea

Brea looked on as the rest of her group either chose or were chosen by their mentors. She hesitated in the arena a moment, not really sure she wanted to approach the Lord of Destruction. But as she looked around and watched the others leave and sighed. She was in a place she didn't know.

The Destroyer looks to you, and summons a chair for you to sit in. "It's more comfortable if you don't stand. Come, tell me if there's anything I can do for you."

 

[dr xenon]

The Palace of your Mentor is... Just across the street from the east side of the arena... When you arrive, you approach a Tree made of metal. and Vents spewing smoke from the sides. The Branches have all kinds of weapons and shields decorating them. Even the Door is metal.

Pondering the metal tree for a moment Vrail lets his mind wander over the events of the past 12 days. Wondering for a moment about what the next days will hold he reaches out and knocks on the door then calls out, "Vrail the Ankylos, acolyte of Graphtier!"

 

[TyranntX]

Listening to these two have their back and forth, Kalvienne had to rub his forehead. "Listening to this might give me a headache.." He sighed a bit. "Please turn it off, if someone is annoying enough with their puns, they can always get a tankard to the face, Xai." He said before he pondered. "Do you have any sage advice for me and my powers, o' great and powerful mentor?" He asked. TyranntX D. Rex

"Indeed" Xai paused. "My advice to you is to make a plan on how to use your powers, before using them at all... Wind takes a lot of getting used to"

Pondering the metal tree for a moment Vrail lets his mind wander over the events of the past 12 days. Wondering for a moment about what the next days will hold he reaches out and knocks on the door then calls out, "Vrail the Ankylosis, acolyte of Graphtier!"

The door opens, and you see a man of fire open the door. "Oui! your the new recuit aren't you? come in, come in! We've been waiting for you!"

 

[Equusheart]

The chaos boxes? Brea wasn't sure she liked the sound of that. She eyed the chair that Xai had summoned cautiously, as if expecting there to be some sort of trap. Lord Xai had seemed far too amused earlier when she'd almost failed to answer his riddle. Eventually she sat.

"What purpose do you have for me, Lord Xai? Who am I to you?" She was a tad curious that the Lord of Destruction would show interest in her while the others seemed not to.

"Do you want me to answer that to you as... well you? Or as Equusheart ? Because I have very different opinions on both" He chuckled, taking another drink from his tankard of ale.

 

[Chuckles]

So they sat there like that for several minutes, Páh ignoring the goblin and Hopsek just staring at her. At first it was easy enough to do, her parfait and her cat being more than enough to keep her attention.
