Radiance is the measure of corruption you have, gained from radiation, Mythos expsosure, dark rituals, etc etc. The more radiance you have, the more likely it is that it'll congeal into a corruption the next time you're exposed to some.

Now that we have a flesh and blood-themed super mode, we need to acquire some sort of magical expanding cooler. I wonder if cheeseburger magics could be modified to make mystery meat burgers... cooking probably ruins the value though.

I mean, we know that MC&D caters to non-humans, and we even know that several of those non-humans (and humans, probably) do eat human, so the burger magic should have no problem making us some people burgers.

I’m not confident burger magics will work for that. Even if you order the rarest burger, it’s still processed meat, and the red juice that comes out of rare beef isn’t blood. If I understand correctly, what the parasite prefers is fresh blood from raw meat that’s the same species as it’s host. What the parasite *needs* to give us a benefit is likely just any kind of blood as long as we’re not cheating by drinking our own.

A)  B) I wonder if having the Lordly Corruption (and maybe the color of Bleeder's soul through it) is enough to satisfy the quest requirements.

Was... the scary death lady's specific quest to kill the Lords, or just to collect their souls? I know the sheet says kill, but I'm wondering if we can pull a "Here's his soul. Along with his head, torso, arms, legs, skin, blood, bones, organs... uh... weird spiky suction thingies... I think he also has some other people's blood in him..." and still have it TECHNICALLY count. Edit: Found it. It's very... vague. quote:"What you will do."

 You inhale calmly. Your heart is beating too fast to count the beats. Who are you? It's fine; it's all gone right now in this pure moment psychosis high. You, I, it's all we and me gone free with a sword in one hand, the other clenched closed by sheer force of will. Every vein is sanguine red and defined in pattern over you. Your eyes aren't slowing down, vibrating pinpoints against bloody iris. Your sheer gravity sends the bleed of your body back in a slowed cloud, staining at your hair while you manage the casual of your death-lazy strut at your quarry. It's even now, right Bleeder? You aim the black blade at him, the other hand's finger hooked into your pocket to support it through the deep humming pain of torn and drained muscle. But it's just a warm intense buzz, like it's both too hot and cold - you're mad wild red inside, and the pain doesn't get to stop you now. Your damnation was turned into a killwindow. You want it! You just let something you can't think about happen to you, something that doesn't matter on the unbelievable high of being fed the impossible of a Lordly parasite and a taste of Lordly blood. Your body has gone insane, and you need to follow what it's telling us. It's telling me this.  That makes sense, right? Yeah. You nod to yourself. I get it. Just... heart going a little faster now and it's a flutterpace that makes thought so liquidy quick. I think about how you want this. You're just so tired and angry and sick and you want to get this over with. You want to hurt something stupid and mean. I want that for you. I just walk slow because I'm hesitating somewhere far back. I'm hearing bells again. I'm thinking back to the swamp. God, he hurt me. Badly. But he saw what I did. I tried. Remember? I tried and I wanted to try but I don't understand it and it's bothering me. You don't get it either. I still don't get it. Honesty is, I don't want to get it right now. I want this for you. I want you to feel safe. That matters more to me. I want to see him hurt. He made you sick. It's only fair we finally do something to keep her away just a little longer. Instead, I focus on the red of a Lord's processed blood. What an amazing feeling. There's no real rage, just a sweet pure dry ice. Every blood-fed function in triplicate effort with the ease of a brief jog. The one evil is that the peak is going to be intense, and it's going to happen fast. Can't say what the crash will be like. The fuel needs to flow now, and it has to become a Lordslaying effort.

The sound was unsettling, a too-old man hurt within his brief limits. The Old Knight and Lord had exchanged one blow each, Dyrnwyn dropping from his overarmored hand after it tore open Bleeder's suit-chest, before his monstrous blade of vampiric organ had smashed his side in. Whatever the violence of the downing hit, Bleeder didn't push it, standing back with his sword down and eyes flickering vampire-fast. This was it. The limit before the slay. There wasn't many left who could really put out a fight, and Bleeder had barely slowed down. He was honoring the duel with each swordfighter, but there was only one left now who could stand to fight... and Cassandra described herself as a 'scrappy stick-waver' at best in her mastery of a sword. But she was already stepping forward in exhaustion, Gaziel nodding off just long enough to not realize she was up to fight.  The four who could deliver them from the coming kill were trapped above, where the Megalith itself sought to crush them alive, a demon wall bearing down in fanged hate. It'd come for them soon after. It was clear that they wouldn't be enough to kill a Lord. So the mage shook out her gore-soaked robe, hair slicked with evil, and rolled her hurting shoulders to hold up her firebrandt blade. She walked into the ankle-deep center of the great rain-filled stone bowl, staring at the 7th Lord with no emotion left. Too tired for that. Just embers now. He's standing tall, tired but well in the second wind. His sword has obeyed his Knightly intents, the marrow curving out teeth to shape the broken pieces into a fullsharp sword. He waits for the long minute it takes Cassandra to make her way to be across from him, neither breaking eye contact under the dim shine of the goldrust reflections. It was pouring ichor. Icy vapor streamed stormcloud through the Megalith heights. The young magi wondered if, when she lost, Bleeder would begin the slaughter by cutting her down first. She'd have to see. Maybe one lucky shot to his exposed wound... Duel With A Lord posted:This is hopeless.

This motherfucker has 700 HP. Meaning a normal fight would mean you'd kill him at... -3500? How the gently caress is this guy "the one lord that can be sanely challenged"!?!? I'm thinking it has to do with removing his suit right? Grond fucked around with this message at 14:22 on Nov 13, 2021 |

Grond posted:This motherfucker has 700 HP. Meaning a normal fight would mean you'd kill him at... -3500? Does the enemy need to go to negative values, or do they just pop at 0 HP? This is running off of the GURPS system, which I'm not too familiar with, but usually NPCs in tabletop games die when they hit negative HP values.

If they run off the same rules as us, IIRC at 0 HP there’s an HT check to stay conscious, then at negative HP there are progressively harder HT checks to not die, followed by instant death at -5*max HP.

[This could be it.] [Thing is, there was a final reason for why Bleeder was best first; why he was the 7th.] [He's just as dangerous as the others. But he's a glass cannon. His vampire suit is as much a hindrance as Lordly strength, and not just because of the restrictions it has. It was Bleeder's mercurial nature - some oneruns, he'll simply nosell every last threat and horror you rain down on him. Others, he'll have a mental break over being insulted too many times. There was a hundred ways to get under Bleeder's skin, and his freakout could just as easily become a berserker killrage.] [Not this time, though. The complex and lucky gambit paid off as hoped; the struggle to fully enslave the Vampire-Lord Parasite was won, the first Lordly Malfeasance. Not just that, but it even managed to steal some of Bleeder's blood! Both kinds, too. This meant that the initial vampire birth was instead a unique drug-like state from the body processing the stolen Lordly blood. Its benefits would go quickly, which meant it was now or never to put the seal on the deal with Bleeder.] [If the suit gives just enough, it'll create an opening. Most of Bleeder's vampire powers are useless now, along with one or two of his Lord arts. He'll fight mad, dirty, desperate. Damage will be unknown wilds - this was a first time for achieving the Enslaved parasite state, and all that's known from memory of the Blue Book is that the blood-drugged state leads to chaotic output and large-but-unclear HP totals. So it's purely a gambit of rushing Bleeder while the high is peak and he's emotionally vulnerable.] [As long as he doesn't start screaming about leaving the car, it should be a safe second phase.]

Presumably a reference to when he was trapped in the crashed car during the undead outbreak on the island.

Well, we're about to find out what newfound hell can possibly await us in the second phase.

So while we wait, I've been reading again over from the beginning. Just finished with the Cats of Ulthar quest tonight. Things I would like to note: *I really empathize with the tyrant child's anxiety. Like drat. I have been there, and I don't even have the excuse of all the horrors you've seen.\ *Also goddamn the loss of Blue and Red after Camp made me cry with relatable feelings. *Tactical puking in Deimos's lap is A+++ great *Trying to figure out what the difference is between the tyrant child's Tyranny and Hunter's, besides Hunter having ???? amount of extra experience and therefore understanding of how it works and strength? Does she have a separate Tyrant personality? Did she previously have a non-Tyrant personality that's since been subsumed entirely by her Tyrant? *What is the traumatic event that drives the Holy End (I think???) version of our protagonist? Was it the circumstances of receiving their Crown? Why do they seem to not have a Tyrant voice/personality, or have we just not seen it? *Black Crows Always Win!!! E: *Towards the beginning of the game, it seems to be implied that a Tyrant pc is a regular option, as there's mention of it being a good thing to have a "successful first Manifest", but later on, one of the blue book entries says it's not possible to have a playable Tyrant iirc. Double edit: What are they going to do when they realize that Smercia's tithe requires them to kill Red and Blue? taiyoko fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Nov 20, 2021 |

Bleeder posted:"WHAT THE gently caress IS WRONG WITH YOUR BODY?!" Not too many answers to give though, not right now. For now? When the 8th speaks, it's time to listen.

I want to give Bleeder a hug. Though I really doubt he'd accept it.
