what bits you got?

Mkay, two important questions about that.
Fist, by strongest, you means strongest against what? An undead optimized for fighting armies can be very different from an undead built for fighting powerful individuals or an undead for countering rival undead.
Second, what abilities can you build into undead? We are a bit unfamiliar with this plane, and abilities such as body part assimilation or spellcasting can drastically change the build you want to use.

not much, for now I only have two human heads and torsos,and a few kind of different lower and upper limbs with different benefit and drawback

Lets see the list then.

By the way, do we de-animate if our head gets destroyed?

for now i can only use the natural abilty of the body parts, with more developed lab and powers i can make extensive alteration in the abilities of the piece I use; what I mean by strongest is the abilty to do defeat any kind of opponent; this are the limbs I have and their ability the upper body limbs belong to a were wolf that is strong but inaccurate, dragonlike claws unable to hold wepon and of a feline, quite fast but week; the lower body parts are frome the same werewolfwith identical up and down, from a snake: you can't run, but you can grab and crush an anemy and from an harpy:they can run quite fast but you can't do much more...of cuorse you can always use human limbs that are average

with the neither decison taken care off...wich parts should I add to the torso?

human werewolf.

Can we get multiple arms? There is a good chance that the whole 'multiple minds' bit will offset the normal attention-division problems with multi-wielding. If we do that, human and feline arms would be a good choice for being lightweight.

If not, we should get one human arm and one dragonish arm.

>>409414
I lack the mistical material to add a extra pair of arms and I need more power to attach two kind of arms...if we obtain more material and soul it can be done esily

>>409405
Stick both torsos together and give us Dragon limbs and a snake tail.

FUCK YEAH CHIMERA.

now that you are ready to go there something I have to confess...we are on a small island near a large one, and the only ships that can sail to the continent are always full of paladins, to defend them from monster and pirates so for now we are stuck here...unless we find a way to set sail on our own, but for now let's choos one of the cemetery on this isle to ride...there's a harpy settlement in the mountain near a lake, a swamp lamia settlement in the, well, swamp, a small werewolf settlement in the forest, beware they are pretty xenophobe and strong so it will be dangerous to face them straight away, and two human settlement in the hills; of cours we are only interested in the cemetery, but still...

Well, harpies sound like they'd be the easiest to raid from, yield parts to make future smash-and-grabs go faster, and, horrible racial profiling here, but probably least prone to care about corpse snatching. So, seems like a good early target all around.

We got the strong and inaccurate werewolf hands right? Lets get some bigass weapon that doesn't rely on finesse like a warhammer or something.

Healing potion. If that isn't enough, carry her to the hideout. If the harpy survives, we may get information about this demon. If she dies, we'll get a fresh body.

Things will only get worse, actually.

awesome quest.
I doubt she knows anything about the demon, its a demon, it tried to eat her... unless she is a natural summoner coming into her power or a wizard apprentice or something.
But there are many things we can ask. Ask her about her, she looks young, how young is she?
Who are her family, what kind of culture the harpies have? village structure? quantity of people? army? etc. Paladins in the village? view about paladins? religion? etc.

Don't make it an interrogation, rather, talk to her in a friendly manner. If she is young and orphan perhaps master can make her an apprentice. (best result I think)

Killing all mortals is the stereotype for necromancers and it makes no sense, they need mortals to generate new corpses.
So the question is, what is his long term goals and preferred method of interaction.
1. Avoid as long as possible and pretend they aren't there and hope for best. - probably not gonna work. seems like what he planned.
2. Conquer. - Throws too many red flags and triggers a crusade, totally impractical until you are so ridiculously powerful you don't need to officially conquer anyone to be untouchable.
3. Manipulate from shadows (blackmail, mind control, etc the key figures) - sounds plausible. Need to think about an undead that looks pretty but isn't vampire (drinking blood a drawback, can't go in sun and too easy to spot)
4. Reach an agreement - Would work best, we have a lot to offer and aren't a threat... and is the most difficult to find someone who would agree. For harpies we have an in with saving her if she is important. But the key is going to be the religious view of the importance of the dead in every society... luckily there are 4 major societies on this tiny island.

you enter the hideout and notice two major difference in it, the first it’s a big hole in the wall and the second is that there is light coming out of the room opposite the one you have been resurrected into, the necromancer start to walk in the direction of the lit room and say that while he’s operating you can look around in the hideout, there’s not much to see though, What do you do? Wait for him to finish and ask what you want to know or look around?

You leave the laboratory and enter the lit room, whit your surprise it’s not just another small room but a long corridor with five doors on one side and just torch on the other, at the end of the corridor there is another lit room, probably is the surgery room, you are a bit curios to peek inside all those dark openings, but you want to be there when the girl wake up, so you enter the last room

He listen to your questions and, after taking a long breath, that seem long two days, start to answer to your question. he say he need to consume the souls first, but ten will be more then enough to power him up to give you some nice boost, to answer your second question he think a little then say he require a pair of special demonic souls, sorcerer ones, they should also give him new ability unrelated to necromancy, but they are rather hard to find ,he then say that , yes, the siren is quite young, but she also seems to have an enormous latent powers way off the scale for a siren or every other creature he had seen in his life, that probably also explain such a powerful spawn in a cemetery, but he can’t be sure, then he finally start to answer your first question, the reason why he is so skilled with a living, but he suddenly interrupted by the siren scream, : a Demon! Don’t kill me! Please, I’ll do whatever you want, but don’t kill me! The necromancer seems more then a bit annoyed by the girl sudden awakening and terrified behavior, but also look like he’s unable to deal with her burst

I like the name you came up with
Well, get her talking about herself (not an interrogation)... we want to find out a little more about her.
Where does she live? does she have family? do demons chase her around often? (I bet they do, due to her innate power... which means she is probably orphaned due to demons)

what was she doing in a graveyard alone?

cutscene end after her tale you say you are very sorry for what happened to her and that she is safe now and hug her more tightly after a few second you release her and move closer to the necromancer saying you can see her eyes glowing, something that happened only when there was magical activity, he say it’s probably the spell her mother cast on her, but it’s degrading really fast, he could restore it’s power making her invisible to demon again, but he need a peculiar herb only growing in the swamp, four day away from the hideout, if you want to collect that herbs he should make something more appropriate for you to wear, so you don’t attract to much unwanted attention and start to drain those soul you have gathered, in order to upgrade you

sounds like a righteous mission. we accept.

if we leaver her in the hideout while we go after the herb, will pudding be ok if more demons show up? and would some sort of stop gap measure be possible?

You know... If necroboss and us can handle demons attacking, we might consider either intentionally delaying the full restoration of that spell. If the demons come to us then we won't have to traipse around graveyards hunting them down.
(Of course, this would require an escape route if the demons start getting out of hand.)

Sounds awesome. Should explain it to her before we use her as bait though (we can justify it as saving others from demons)

Also, since she has all this power, would she be suited as an apprentice or at least assistant to master?

you say that the necromancer think it ma be useful to not seal entirely her emission of energy, but immediately she wont be in danger, because either the necromancer and yourself are really powerful and able to defeat the demons , she look a bit scared by your question, then she ask if she can refuse, she ought a lot to you, but she is not so confident in being a bait, what do you say to make her change idea?

Of course she can refuse.
But the demons will still be out there though, hurting innocent people.
And she could still run across them by accident too.
You have time to think about it while we are getting the ingredients to repair the seal, you don't have to decide right away...
We will protect you either way, be brave.

Also, ask master for clarification if sealing it weakens her ability to perform magic. Her mother was a competent mage to make such a seal, and it would make sense to place one on a child that is unable to yet use such magic if it attracts hungry demons; and then remove it when becoming an adult and learning how to utilize magic effectively.
Also ask if its possible to make it toggle-able between fully and partially sealed. So she could switch it to fully sealed if she needs to go somewhere alone.

>>415668
Basically this. As demons they will likely be hunting someone, but not everyone has the resources to make them pay for their crimes.

You say to her that, of course she could refuse she nod, a little relieved by your reply ,at that point you continue whit your speech and say those creatures will still be out there thought, hurting innocents people and that she could still run across them by accident, she grow more insecure of her choice and ask you if she can think about it.
You say she doesn’t need respond right away, she could think on it while you getting the ingredient required to repair the seal and that you will protect her either way, she just say t-thanks, I’ll answer as soon as you come back; then she turn bright red and say: I-I forgot to ask you something, w-what are your names? I was a bit shocked and it doesn’t come to my mind to do it before, you say you are legion, but you also don’t know master’s name, so you call him , ask for it and also if its possible to make it toggle-able between fully and partially sealed. So she could switch it to fully sealed if she needs to go somewhere alone and if sealing her energy emission weakens her ability to perform magic, he say that, yes, sealing her will reduce her casting abilty, but with so much power to work with, it shouldn't really be an issue, than say the preparation to drainb the souls are done and it will upgrade you as soon as he finish

Using her situation and ingenuity to our advantage while trying to recruit her to our cause may prove to be a big mistake in a not too distant future. We use her or we recruited her, one or the other.

Furthermore, we do not know the true power of the one who pursues her. If we can rely on her memory, her parents were powerful, but their enemies were more. The fact that we found a weak demon can be attributed to the existence of the seal. In addition, we have no assurance that the one who pursues her will not be able to pinpoint our location after we defeat some demons.

>>416704
There are no "enemies" out pursuing her. Her natural power simply makes her SUPER DELICIOUS to demons (compared to other mortals). Any and all random demons in vicinity will sense it and converge on her to eat the deliciousness.

Also, we are not exploiting her here, everything we said was true. The demons WILL be out there hurting other people and they CAN run into her even if her thing is completely off. One day she might be strong enough to fight them off herself, especially if she becomes the master's apprentice.

>>416706
exactly. the demons detect a great source of power, and come running. the spell her mother placed masked her energy signature thus thwarting them. our proposition is to add a valve to the spell, which SHE controls. letting her leak out power at a rate she wishes, to attract small numbers of demons to us where we kill them.

That makes no sense whatsoever. Not that it matters, anyway. The decision will always come from numbers.

Recruiting her takes priority over using her to lure demons, but we still might do both if we are careful about it.

Well, her parent left the capital around the time of her birth and it's not certain the reason, so it's not so impossible for pursuer to exist, still, if they didn't find her in 9 years it's unlikely they can scree her in some way and with some more souls I should be able to cover the hideout in an anti scree bubble, this way any supposed enemy will be unable to find her, also, among the ten souls in the soulpudding there was one sorcerer soul, this way we are halfway to allow you to use magic and I can learn a new, unrelated to necromancy, spell, but they wont be so powerful at the beginning something to enhance strength, a low level ice spell that freeze the ground but let you walk on it easily as you where on normal ground, and a density enhancer spell, what should I learn?
Also, yes, I'm more interested in recruiting her then to use her as a demon bait, so do what you believe is right

What does density enhancement do?
Is strength enhancing permanent?
Do you mean you can use the sorcerer soul for both or that you can use it either for yourself or for us?

As far as recruiting her vs bait, only reason we would need to choose between the two is if she turns down our suggestion and we try to coerce her to do it (which we could, since her only alternative is to let it collapse entirely). If she says yes then we got both (with a toggleable seal in her control).
If she says no then we respect her wishes so we can recruit her.

Also, an idea occurs to me. We might want to create a network of demon sensing wards further out from the hideout so we can tell if demons are coming and how strong they are, that way if too many/too strong demons are coming she can close it off entirely and everyone can hide.

Well, enhancement are temporary at a low level, density enhancement allow to change density of what I'm welding to make the impact on the enemy grater; the sorcerer soul only enhance me, the normal souls allow me power up your body make modification, and with enough power I could fuse two body parts of the same kind, increasing their power and giving the resulting part different ability usually superior to the previous; also I like your idea of making demon sensing ward, I'll work on it, but I need a peculiar kind of wood growing in the forest.

go for strength.

Get the Density, that sounds cool. Also is the forest too far out of the way of the swamp? If so, then we are totally going there after we get the magic herb thing.

Excuse my paranoia, I just want to avoid unnecessary attention and ensure the loyalty of our companions. She is young, but she can understand the situation. We can be honest with her. Also, Neve can name us. Names are given, not chosen. Firn?

How many times we can use the ice spell? Works in any type of terrain? Its area of effect and duration? It would be a great advantage against land enemies.

Go for whichever best complements your existing combat abilities...
Which raises the question, what ARE your existing combat capabilities?

Strength and Density both increase melee damage but in different ways, and both carry different utility capability. The ice forming lets you control the terrain to better keep out of melee. I am going to guess you are currently a ranged fighter?

. New spell are weak at the beginning because I need to power up them, they will grow in the same way as any already existing spell when I drain normal demon soul, so they aren’t really strong at the beginning, say that I’ll explain the way this new spell work. The ice spell at this level work on many terrain, It doesn’t work in really hot place and it doesn’t last for too long a few minutes, but at higher levels there are not many limitation of ground, and it can even be used to make spike, density enhancer at stronger level can make a weak material strong like steel and enhance the caster body, making it harder; the strength spell can boost physical strength by two times at the beginning, but it should be possible to enhance it twelve times. For answer your question on my fighting ability I have to say that unfortunately necromancy, it’s lacking ranged spell, it’s mostly made up of rituals who need times and preparations to made, there are exceptions which are powerful enough to devastate an army, but I need an enormous amount of power, which I obviously don’t have, yet

>>417301
Alright then, taking this into account
Ice spell - While it is essential to control the terrain, lacking any form of offense or defense beyond that renders it ineffective.
Strength - Possibly best offensive capability. Should stack with density.
Density - Combines amazingly good defense with impressive offense (but probably lower offense then strength), should stack with strength, and should be able to make a good steel weapon very impressive.

So, based on that analysis I say go with density.

Density sounds good. And foe a ranged attack we could throw stuff and make it denser mid-flight (of course, that would work with strength as well).

>Strength doesn't make us faster, just stronger. The dexterity makes us faster ( like with the cat hands and harpy legs)
No it doesn't, not even in D&D (and is this even based on D&D?).

IRL, speed is a function of your reaction times (brain & nerve), mass (the lower the better), and strength (the higher the better).
Increasing strength without increasing weight will increase your speed. When wielding a weapon, increasing your strength will allow you to move it faster and more easily and accurately (as the penalty of weight decreases)
In D&D speed is a function of your encumbrance (strength & weight) and race.

IRL, Dexterity is your level of coordination and tool using ability. (most animals lack the dexterity of a human hand and cannot manipulate tools readily).
In D&D, dexterity is a measure of your coordination/clumsiness & balance & flexibility (from whole body dodging to manipulating fine equipment like traps and locks). It directly adds to to your coordination (dodging) and reaction time (initiative).

So even assuming this was D&D (which it is not), dexterity is not speed in D&D.

>>417777
Strength doesn't make us faster, just stronger. The dexterity makes us faster ( like with the cat hands and harpy legs)

Gotta agree with >>417958 here. Cat hands and harpy legs are fast because they have lots of fast twitch and few slow twitch muscles.

you pretend to haven't noticed the figure hiding in the shadow, but ask the necromancer to teleport a weapon, he send you a pair of katar, in the meantime the figure, without the smallest sound leave it's hiding to move behind you , with shock you notice it's transparent,you realize she is female, the necromancer say to you she must be a felyne, they have some innate magical skill, they can see in the dark, move without make sound and make themselves almost invisible, their kin managed to almost conquer the whole world but they angered the gods and where almost wiped out, but that happened so many century ago no one remember it and now they are but mere shadow of themselves hated by the whole world, for reason everyone but me forgot century ago, truly a sad existence,hahaha!

wait for strike. then turn and block then hook with blade. move in close and grab with beefy arm. should result in weapon being point away and having them in your grasp. then ask them why they decided to ambush you.

we could try talking to her before she attacks. something like

"pleasant day for a walk don't you think?"

act way to casual and friendly and she might be confused enough to talk rather than fight.

What a nuisance. We're not interested in fighting, we have more to do. What should we tell her?

>>419461

You keep on acting like you hadn't notice her presence, waiting for her to act. She move closer to you, whit the clear intention to strike you with the blunt end of her pole arm. Before she do so, you say "Pleasant day for a walk don't you think?" She doesn't expected that and jump a fair distance back, with the bladed tip now facing you say:”h-how did you know I was behind you?! Humans shouldn't be able to see me and NO one can ear a felyne, if they don't want to be eared, how did you do? What are you?!

What a rude question, especially coming from someone who wants to attack a mere passerby. Is this the treatment for anyone going through this territory or she wants to get hold of our belongings, which happen to be virtually none? We're heading to the swamps to find ingredients to help an acquaintance, we have no other intentions. In any event, the usual is to introduce yourself before asking about the other, but we'll make this an exception. We're called by many names, but we don't own one. She may call us legion.

>>420109
"Another much maligned creature.
I'm sorry, but I don't have time to help you right now; I've got to fetch an herb so I can save a little girl from demons.
I won't be able to stop here on my way back, either, but if you'd like I can come back after I make the delivery.
Still, what do you need?"

she say “I was trying to ambush you! You are not even a little disturbed by that? Wait, you are trying to do what?! Is your boss an healer?

"in a way i suppose he is. i was in several pieces and he put me together. and no, it would take something a lot more then an ambush to disturb me."

"Of sorts. He is likely too specialized for your purposes if that's what you are getting at, though if you have a request I could ask him about it."

>>420820

Why? Do you need a healer? How urgent is it?"

>>420823

He is also an actual healer. Remember, he performed surgery on a dying girl in mere moments, and she was fine a few more moments after that.

We're leaking too much unnecessary information.

> I was trying to ambush you! You are not even a little disturbed by that?
We're outraged. We're on a trail, just passing through. We're not a potential danger to those who inhabit this territory. She's not a beast, neither appears to have something to justify this kind of attitude. Anyway, we can't dwell on her petulance, savagery and stupidity. Our time is short.

> Wait, you are trying to do what?! Is your boss an healer?
We would be pleased to help, but we're in an emergency. However, we have no objection to her accompanying us to tell her story, even if her rudeness has no limits.

>>420831
Oh right, forgot the actually healing part. Your answer works better then.

>>420833
But she expects to be offended. Just shrugging it off will mess with her more.

>>420836
She's amazed by our reaction, capabilities and situation. We don't need to say anything about what we are, our master and what we're doing. Moreover, we don't possess the luxury of being benefactors, much less in an emergency. In any event, if she follow us we may get an ally for this quest. For now, let's just listen to her story.

"i'm rather difficult to disturb, and yes my boss is a healer among other things, if you have need of a healer i could ask him if he would be willing to help."

I agree that Pudding probably didn't raise us up to go tell everyone that there is a perfectly killable necromancer hanging around. Bossman would want our discretion here.

She respond “I'm in dire need of an healer! Actually my whole village needs one ,as soon as possible, but no one had accepted our requests. How can I believe you are not just trying to shrug me off ?
What do you say to caught her trust and gain an ally?

Tell her you'll consult with your master. Explain the situation to him and ask if he'd like to help her. If he says yes, tell her directions to his lair. If no, then apologize and say you can't be of any help. She can't really complain about that, you're a stranger.

Describe the flower we're looking for. Contact boss.

"If you want proof I am looking for this mana flower you could travel with me to see for yourself. It hopefully won't take that long."

While the necromancer move toward the creature, the wall crumble entirely revealing the size and appearance of the creature: a huge insect looking beast with four, large bladed arms, four small ones, a heavy armored body and ten core on his head. “This could end up ugly if I don't manage to destroy them all in one blow, technically with the right spell, blowing it's head and all its cores off in one blow it's not impossible, but I don't think, even using my tentacles and swordsmanship I could make an opening to reach it, unless I find aa way to distract it before attacking

back up slowly, make the pillars fall on it to the sides, while it deflects them it should have an opening, move in to kill.

That is a pretty big demon.

Go get bandages.
Grab the nearest healing potion. Yes, that one. Right there. Pour it down his throat.

Apply pressure to his wounds. Bind the ones you can, keep pressure on the ones you can't. The potion should help him stabilize, and keeping his bleeding under control will reduce the work the healing potion has to do. He should wake up soon.

some should be on him somewhere.

Neve, look at him real quick and visually assess the damage so We can see where the wound is and how deep.

How flexible is Pillar? Can we reshape it to make it a spike, cast it multiple times to build a wall, or invert it to make a pit?

Be an Earthbender! get rock & rock. Also venom, Boss is a necromancer with healing prowess and power over life and death, venom attack is just thematic, you know?

pillar, shield and sharpen. you have the right combination of skills, free time and a base of operations that you could possibly make enchanted weapons, in which case sharpen is just that much more of a boon, and the other two are the most awsome of the group.

Pillar can be used to make a giant spike, but it’s not flexible enough to be used to rebuild the wall, rock shaping can be used to make pits and to rebuild the entrance

>>427787
Rock shaping, Sharpen, and Venom.

I was really tempted to say Shield instead of Venom, though.

Rock shaping, Sharpen and Shield. Your last battle has shown that you are severely lacking in defensive options.

>>427820
This seems like a perfect combination for making traps. Hollow out a section of earth with rock shaping, then leave a thin layer of rock at the top that will crumble under a demon's weight. Put spikes at the bottom with rock shaping again, use sharpen on them, then venom. Might be worth trading venom for shield, but I prefer the approach that's so offensive, the enemy never manages to get a strike in in the first place.

She say “how it's even possible that you aren't tired? It shouldn't be possible! Are you really human?” You just smile and offer her your hand “not used too much stamina in a man? don't worry you can ride on me all day and I wont get tired” She snicker “if I wasn't so tired I would have punched you, seriously tough your stamina it's impossible, it's because of a spell?”

"I suppose you could say that.
We need to keep going, El. Here, I'll carry you while you rest."

Help her onto your back and keep going. Move quickly, but try to give her a gentle ride.

Basically this. Say that you could slow down your progress if she wants, but you heard she was in a hurry.

you say “because of a spell...yeah,sure” then you show your back to her and say “I'll carry you for now El, until you recover, we can't really afford to rest , the sooner we find the flower the sooner we can help your village, also where is it?” she respond“I've told everything to your boss already. it's on the main island, don't worry about transportation, we have a small boat waiting for us, sailing from a port paladins don't check very often....hey, what's his your boss name? I can't keep on calling him that way, I'm not working for him!

"We aren't going to abandon people who need help, but if things are as bad as you say then we can't afford that much charity, and your village certainly can't afford such a debt.

But there is a way you could save your village and have them owe us nothing. We will give your village medical care indefinitely, and do what we can to protect it from other harm. It will be as if they were our own.

Loyalty is perhaps the most valuable thing for us. If you're loyal enough to sacrifice yourself to save your people, then we will accept your servitude as payment."

I want to very clearly establish that this is not at all related to the flirting, but I don't think there is any way to express that to her which she will believe.
I mean, if she asks or agrees we can tell her then, but otherwise it would be maximum creep to mention it.

Do we actually know his name?^^ I maybe overread t...
Otherwise she could call him our boss ;)
