The Party is alerted to the absence of Llany and begin calling out Llany's name, even going so far as to burst into a Llany lament. The singing quickly dies down however as everyone realizes the floor is glittering with gems, coins, and what turns out to be 2 very nice looking swords (one quite sinister feeling; Tak seems drawn to its innate darkness) A large, very finely crafted shield, and an odd looking pair of wings. As everyone's eyes are drawn to the new-found booty, a familiar voice says "Ooooo! s h i n y!" as Llany returns in time to help count it all out. There are all told 17,000gp 12,000ep 50 gems worth around 100gp each |

>Tak will inspect the weapon radiating innate darkness, after helping load the assault vest of holding with the non-magical loot. "Perhaps one of the less combat oriented party members should take the shield?" the assassin suggests, hoping to spread out this lucky find among the group to most efficiently boost their chances of survival. |

As you hold your hand out to touch the sword, Dorg's voice appears surprisingly close to you. How did he get that close to you without you noticing? "Don't let it talk you into doing anything you might regret, now!" he says. It gives you pause for concern. Dorg never said NOT to pick up the sword; only to not let it talk you into doing anything you might regret. What could THAT mean? You remember hearing through your travels of swords that could try and influence it's wielder, talking them into doing deeds that ultimately lead to their undoing. Could THIS be one of those swords? Only one way to find out... Roll a 20 and percentage dice! |

Llany is pestering Buddy to try flying and is ready to take notes. "like how high can you go? how fast? do you stop fast or is momentum a huge factor?" he seems to have forgotten that the wings are brand new to Buddy and he doesn't know the answers yet |

Tak reaches out to pick up the sword, hesitates for a moment, as if listening to someone- and resumes picking up the sword. The sword is a scimitar, curved and wicked looking; Tak swings the sword experimentally, and seems to be communicating with... someone. "I was instructed beforehand to avoid temptations generated from within by you" Tak says. "I of course would be most interested in those things you offer me in return, but it will be according to MY terms, and not yours. I could just as easily toss you into a hole and leave you here, as take you with me." Tak is still swinging the sword experimentally, becoming more and more proficient and sure with its use with each passing moment. "Very well. I feel comfortable accepting your terms, in exchange for the offers you proffered to me." At that, Tak appears to slice the scimitar against their own flesh, and you can't help but f e e l that a bargain has been made, a contract has been signed, and a soul had been bonded with. Soul Drinker has been brought back into the world, but this time it will NOT be on its terms. Tak is its wielder and will tolerate no disloyalty, and Soul Drinker will obey its weilder... Soul Drinker is a +4 Soul Stealer. A natural roll of 17 on a 20-sided die results in the death of the target, saving throw applies. When Soul Drinker steals a soul, it powers up abilities that Soul Drinker can bestow to its wielder. Soul Drinker is the wielder's preferred weapon in all combat situations. Considering your rolls, I will allow you to do a one-time re-allocation of skill points to take points put into crossbows and put them into swords, scimitar. This could very well be an ability the sword is willing to bestow upon it's wielder. Roll a 20! (you are going to endure a Race change as a result of wielding Soul Drinker) |

>Tak's inscrutable alieness doesn't express any sense of emotion externally, however it's hard to escape the idea that the assassin is somehow pleased with this find. (Think Tak's set up should work as is with both crossbows and swords or scimitars, crossbow expertise lets him fire in melee without penalties while still wielding a sword provide he doesn't lose his extra arms or something lol... speaking of, i'm going to post this cause i'm weirded out by it too)  (not sure if good or bad but probably interesting! lol)

Tak slumps down, bubbling and writhing and squeaking and popping. It's disconcerting at best, and when he's done, Tak steps out from the large, crumpled up hooded overcoat they were once wearing still trying to figure out what size to be and you see Tak is now, despite whatever hey were before, a Drow Elf. Tak is now 4' 6" and all of his magical armor and gear changes size to accommodate accordingly, including the tactical harness and hooded overcoat. Tak gains +2 to Dex and Presence and +2 to all thieving skills Tak now has Drow Racial abilities and class bonuses accordingly and keeps all other previous hit points and other skills. Tak can see Infrared. Tak can speak Underdark. Soul Drinker is thirsty... |

>Tak's mind at least has not changed and after a brief moment of touching his face (!) and feeling the weird sensation of having skin (yuck) - the assassin manages to regain his mental stability. It's externally clear he's male now, and don't get him started on the weird junk you mammals have hanging off you, for one thing and the considerably shorter height and lack of proper number of limbs definitely has him having to adjust his movements considerably. >Speaking is something that is beyond him for the moment - before he mimicked human speech using clicking noises made by insectoid body parts, now he's likely to have to learn all over again since he has no experience operating a voice box, teeth or a tongue. >Internally he forces himself to calm, unused to the strange body chemistry of this new form, before mentally communing with the sword "What have you done? And how do I reverse it. Help me do that, sword, and you'll get all the souls you could hope for to drink." Pot Smoke Phoenix posted:NM, I scrolled back up, you rolled a 20 10 10 10 18 before that. (Lol yeah - 20, 10, 10, 10, 19 was the first one and then 10, 10, 20, 18 on that second one that i figured i had to screen shot cause between that and the first wtf is going on?!?) |

my dude, content to stay comfy and quiet this whole time, steps forward to deliver a socially awkward PSA on the nature of dark soul weapons. I figure a success might ensure a state of alertness in the party/tak somewhat like Roland in the dark tower gambit a failure might result in ppl seeing him as a buzzkill of the who invited this guy variety |

Buddy looks back over his shoulders to Heather, partially blocked by a giant pair of wings. He blinks before turning around to see Llany excitedly instructing him. Not wanting to disappoint the eager scientists, Buddy shrugs violently, muttering, “Cmon” to himself between each flap.

You glide around with ease, your agility and ability to fly, even this- your first time ever flight.

take the moon posted:my dude, content to stay comfy and quiet this whole time, steps forward to deliver a socially awkward PSA on the nature of dark soul weapons. I figure a success might ensure a state of alertness in the party/tak somewhat like Roland in the dark tower gambit The strange, ethereal creature once again appears, issuing warnings to Tak about the nature and threat of a Dark weapon. They are, of course correct. In the matter of Soul Drinker, there is a nearby Deity who has also leaned upon the Will of Soul Drinker, coercing it to the point of meek subservience, forever in the service of Tak, now Drow Elf, but still a Being of benevolent chaos, not bowing once to Good, not the other to Evil, instead deciding for himself what is "worthy", and going forth that route. The Nu Mou's eyes glow for a moment, then- satisfied the Scimitar is cowed, closes their eyes, and sighs. "Interesting, Dark weapons are notoriously single-purposed. This one seems... scared. One of you is more than they seem, but I cannot say who- to bend a Dark weapon to the will of the wielder? This is of a remarkable level, but then again- is not our meeting not remarkable?" Everyone roll a 20 |

Pot Smoke Phoenix posted:Everyone roll a 20 (kind of scared to touch the dice roller again lol but here goes nothing... phew 14) >Tak seems to adjust quickly to his new circumstances, trying out this whole having a mouth rather than a proboscis thing as he attempts to speak to the party - managing after the fifth attempt to spit out "Yeurgh.. yes, I think I need to learn my lesson about picking up strange weapons. This is the second time I've been stung.... though I suppose not without it's benefits. I hope I can find a way to return to normal... the longer life span of an elf is perhaps useful but all I know about them is that they're delicious. Makes me almost feel like I'm prey." - all varieties of thri-kreen, assassin bug or not, finding elf flesh to be one of the tastiest fares. >Despite the physical transformation, Tak seems otherwise fine - not reacting emotionally or raising his voice despite what for most people would be a Kafkaesque situation albeit in reverse. He also seems quite taken with the new weapon, practicing with the heft of it until it becomes familiar - as if an extension of his own body. He also notes that it seems this curse is stronger than the one from his crossbow of holding, allowing him to wield the new weapon despite it - fortunate indeed since he's running short of hands for once. >Once the Nu Mou speaks, Tak does shoot a glance over at our friendly neighborhood bartender at the mention of someone here being more than they seem.

Skin is soft and weak rather than a proper exoskeleton, blood instead of haemolymph, joints all work the wrong way." and here it's worth noting that the assassin's agility and innate skill at movement must be the only thing allowing him to even walk since none of his limbs operate in what to him is the normal direction "I'll just have to find a way to reverse it at some stage. For now though we should keep moving. Llany, want to have a go at gathering some of that poison? Here..." >So saying Tak hands Llany a poisoner's kit from his assault vest, letting him borrow it to more easily gather the toxins and turn them into something useful. Fortunately the hooded killer is still firmly encased in that heavy coat at least since Tak habitually doesn't wear pants. Small mercies abound. (Also HP, think ya still need to do a d20 roll?) |
