welcome back, how was your vacation?

Rodney Talon

Seriously Christmas and new years, any anecdotes, adventures or just reviews on how spent the time or who with and what gaveyou moving forward

ItsHypnoFuckBees

Memories Star: "We would be trying to subvert the prophecy no matter WHAT we knew. You've lied to us and made the wrong decision at every possible turn, remember. ...But we do need you. Well, some of you... I REALLY need to let loose on someone, and I'm NOT sorry for taking this opportunity. ACTION: Block archdruid from most of his memories for a bit, leaving only memories of being in a cage. The intent here is, well, if he just remembers being caged up like a dog, he'll think he *is* one, and act so. Won't even remember how to use magic.

Cross

Father Star: We may be uncoordinated, Cleric, but... Um... Anyways. Y'all got people out there fightin' the lost and Milo MIGHT be on his way over soon. We'll do what we can. *I'd like to manifest some Fatherly Enhanced Equipment for the probably-still-naked Cherry.*

Robert Smith

GREW UP IN THE ARK TOGETHER??? So people are being let out? Or can escape? Now that is interesting- I thought the goal of the Ark was to capture Zenion, so now I wonder... though, the vibes I get are that Levi was released as an agent of the Gods Milo and Sylvia seem to have lost their halos, and thus their favour... but also seems to mean they can now act on their own decisions. I guess Milo can speak, and rationally, without the Devotion? Looks like the Gods are well aware that Zenion/ Cherry dying means their own death... and are acting towards self preservation. Speaking of... Milo isn't, but I guess he and Sylvia know they aren't connected to Zenion's influence. Pretty extreme to want to kill the Gods but, if they have been manipulated that long. 'My wolves'... was Wolf a devotee of Frederick? He still seems to have a soft spot for him, I wonder what the precise connection was. Certainly, it hurts him that Wolf clearly hates the Gods now. Speaking of Wolf... I'm worried about him. He is cutting himself off again with his obsession with Red, and uncertain feelings towards Cherry... so long as he didn't hurt him, thankfully. And he seems willing to trust us, at least a little more. I hope Cherry's crystal form is only whilst in the Dungeon, to protect him from separating again. And the Arbiters are finally giving us a tiiiiny bit of information. Still don't trust them though! Clearly their goal remains our manipulation, just with slightly more information on our side. Interesting that they thought we wouldn't subvert the prophecy if we knew Red was Zenion... AND the fact that they don't want to kill him. Though probably only because Red resets the board every time he dies, more than anything else.

Steve

That sequence with milo, Sylvia and Fredrick was AMAZING

Hadou Shinken

Welcome back! and what a great return for the new year too! Excellent update! also…ayo did Milo just…- o.o;

Brooding

Welcome back! Happy new year, and suberb update! Cant believe we are at end of the episode 3 already! Great work!

Asher Heart

Glad you’re back, and OOOH! An Ark resident!!! 👀

NethGooRat

ok so like, to my understanding, the Ark is this world's way of explaining the problem of "why are there no kids anywhere especially in a world plagued with a pandemic of sex eldritch horrors". its the place babies go to to grow up until they're adults!

Protean

Advisor Star: "Just a warning. There was a... situation outside of the dungeon which is being resolved. Though those resolving it are likely agents of the Gods. I only tell you this so that you may be cautious while dealing with them."

Khorax

I really loved this update and LEVI looks really handsome! Milo's dad's an asshole, but I loved this. Thank you for all the hard work!

Robert Smith

I don't disagree that is one thing with it- but at the same time we know Kurt is Very Upset his daughter is trapped in the Ark, so this can't be a thing that people are widely aware of, that people can leave. So there must be another layer there as well. Brainwashing by the Gods, of some kind, seems likely.

Sad Dragon

I can't believe Milo just pulled a Jak II on us like that :/ get electrocuted and the first thing he says in years is "i'm going to kill" and imagine being a worse thunder god father to demigods than Zeus. couldn't be me...

Cross

Sylvia: Woah, easy there Milo... It's your old pal Sylvia!

Robert Smith

Windchime Star? (To the Arbiters) - I'd rather you didn't feign sympathy for Cherry. It is clear the only reason you are asking us not to kill him is It Didn't Work When You Did It Before. So. Let's be brutally honest with each other. Subverting the prophecy requires the destruction of Red, correct? So we need information. From what you have said before, becoming an Arbiter is something that exists outside of the meta text- if someone will ascend, they would already be in the room with you. My question is- why isn't Red trapped above Vidora with you as well then? Why is he not subject to the same treaty with the Ministry of Sin you seem to be?

NethGooRat

Midnight Star: (to Wolf) I can see what you're thinking: "Why did he choose to leave, when things were good? He said it was forever, did he ever mean it? And what does that mean for Cherry? Red's still in him, and they look exactly the same." Idk what I would do in your shoes, hero. But Cherry is not Red. They are two different people. Just think of it as your old friend is possessing your apprentice. He IS your apprentice, and he still needs your guidance. What he's going through can't be easy for him either, he must be so scared. He needs you. (Action: when/if the action dies down, talk to Wolf about his insecurities. sorry for such a long text, take from it whatever ya want xD)

Protean

I am going to die Levi is too attractive. If we can't be friends with him I'm going to be very sad

Robert Smith

Sylvia really founded the Motherstry of Slay and cuntrolled the battlefield this update!

Adam

Blood Star: The gods have sent out agents of their will – stolen children raised in the Ark – to act on their behalf. Superior Substance is one of them, and he has a friend with him on Enzo’s ship. Please be careful.

jaquane patterson

Another excellent update! RNG Star: Hmph if we’re tagging our favorites now I’m almost tempted to mark Dominic myself but I want to give him a choice, what ya say magi, wanna spend life with a little more luck on your side? (If accepted): WOW! I rolled a nat 20! With a simple marker near ya smeller the odds will ever be in your favor And as a bonus a simple tap will summon your staff if you lose or break it. Action: create a small green mole on the right side of Dominics nose that faint resembles a hit die, when Dominic has to make a roll and fails he rolls again with advantage once per episode and when he pokes his mole he summons a new staff. (If rejected): nat 1 shooot… well I respect it, my roll was bad but don’t think I won’t come back..

Blade G Shepherd

Star of Desires: To Kurt: “Enjoying All this power rushing through your veins? A body of immense might, is all yours to command my precious stud. Feel free to show off your new girth to exert your authority handsome. Just like the charismatic & strong leader you are.” Action: Utilizing the desires star tattoo on his chest to enhance the effect, Kurt’s gains a massive strength boost throughout his entire body, his muscles bulging and filling with raw strength, His dick gaining girth to suit his new grown muscle. His ego (unique stat) receives a boost making him want to show off, flex, and gloat his newly gained muscle, allowing him to enjoy the newly acquired Desires Star tattoo he has received.

Asher Heart

She shitted in the mother toilet and didn’t flush!!

HimboBarret

Hedonism Star: To Kurt: Man your looking fucking Massive! But you could always be Bigger! But don't worry your empty little head Mr.Hedonism is Here to help you become the Meat head you were born to be! Action: Turn Kurt into a Gooning Goon Brute Treating the Others in The the Party like a Family and the Stars as a Boss. And give him a nice little bowler hat.

Rodney Talon

(IC RP not for influence, yet) Iwapele Star: Sibling Stars it seems we must still fulfill our primary goal. Our secondary seems unnecessary as the friends of Superior Substance are saving out rear detachment and the boat is able to lift. I was unable to gain comprehension of the phenomenon we witnessed. No deeper, anyway. So which best to collaborate to? To send a message to our cohort's intended persons? Windchime, Compass, any others, whose talents are good with distance, finding, or communication can you align with me to send the message of their hearts to where we intended to from with in the dungeon? Or would it be best to aid their return to the ship, despite a complex combat there? Though the armored one might need those flowers, badly. He's been more violated than Kurt. I just don't want this trip to be for nothing. At the least Cherry should say hello to his family as a man, and advise them to go to ground. I don't think hiding is an option anymore for us. If that effect had any propagation the affected will locate us with just maps and compass.

Plowshare-Plague

Rainfall Star to Dominic: Well Dom, you are definitely right about not knowing when things will be less dire. We just got back from taking a peek outside and shit is going sideways. I’d suggest everyone catch their breath while they can, you’re in for a long night. Action: Make a bucket of water people can use to clean themselves or drink.

Rodney Talon

Are his gifts gone? Sylvia is uneffected by his exposure, he seems completely flaccid, no wings, nor bracers. No twinkle effect either. He was still able to fire white hot energy and determined but... hmm.

Rodney Talon

Iwapele:Could you help me perhaps create some connection to the brother of our recent heroic Orc. As Curly is reconstituted I would want to see if we can still aid him.

cherrydad

Hungry Star (to Cherry): So you were cultivating all this deep inside you, eh? I'm fond of the long hair, any new tricks up your sleeve to go with the new looks? ACTION: Assuming he wakes up, encourage Cherry to test out if he has any new abilities.

Gatlin

Nexus Star:(To Cleric) I would like to talk to you about... something private. But it can wait, right now we should get going. Speaking of which, I found a shortcut. *Open a portal in front of them that's leads them to the ship.* Nexus Star: Alright everyone, brace yourselves. (Would like try to get Cleric's side of the story about Red, I mean he was Red's master.)

Randastasius

Inspiration Star: Allow me to assist you with your boon for your beloved pup, brother. A good boss definitely needs to be charismatic to gain more loyal followers. Action: Increase Kurt’s charisma by giving him a silver tongue, allowing him to know just what to say to others to encourage them to follow his way.

Rick Whitechest

Dang, Marston looking snazzy in that armor! Let me have himmm~

Monu

Peace Star: "I understand the need to keep things hidden from us. I'm sure you don't want to lie to us if it wasn't necessary. I then hope you understand that it makes us wary. All I ask is to know if you are hiding anything else from us. You don't have to say what it is, just whether or not you are."

Good Boy Leroy

(I love this update! I can't wait until the day my dream of overthrowing everything connected with the previous loops in favor of a fresh start for Vidora comes true; count your days, arbiters; I loathe you more than the gods that you despise~! <3) Manipulation Star (to the Arbiters): Collaboration is key to playing Brilliant Moves. We were called here to assist you, but we expect your cooperation in return. In case you didn't know, we can and will leave you here to rot if you choose not to even the playing field with us.

Hinner

Star of Lost Causes: "Milo has entered my domain, he defies the Gods and wants to kill Zenion. He won't, but he might still do significant damage to you. He is far for now, but beware."

Xeralex

Reaction to desires brothers stars constellation. To Kurt: Dawn star: Huuuh... Brothers... Alluring our desires as they are, we must not forget who must hold the leash. So please master Kurt become our boss, we need a big man to guide our asses! (Action: If Kurt desires it, evolve the desire tattoo further, making it to grant boons, but with him always being the alpha boss of the desires stars. In exchange though, whenever we are truly safe, he must give in to big desires too. The pack need to have some desired relaxation now and then too.)

Xeralex

(Man what an update! Happy new year once more ^^! Also damn it Meek, you really teased us big time with Cherry's new form XD! Gods the story is about to get really big now, as we have Milo on our tail as well... So much to do and consider... it's just so cool...!!)

rawr7

Star of Contention: To Marston: “Unfortunately, Superior Substance is about to be betrayed by his ‘friend’. Put your helmet on and get serious.” Action: Temporarily grant Marston ‘Flash Precognition’, allowing him to experience what’s about to happen in the next minute (as proof) and restore him to his peak combat condition. Thankfully, there's plenty of ambient magic to draw from right now to power this one. Not to mention, he's a psychic already, this is in his wheelhouse.

jaquane patterson

RNG Star: Mmm I want to see his pole dancing days made in action right away. Action: Create metal poles from the floor to the ceiling for Kurt and anyone who joins with Kurt.

Reindeercurt

Dream Star (To Dr Cleric): Cleric, your mana vials have been looking low. I know we're all worried about Cherry, but are you hanging in there?

rawr7

No, he has a mullet. We can't be friends.

Becquerel

Fisherman's Star: You guys have gone through the ringer and back. Here, hope these little guys help. Hopefully you guys can clear your heads a bit before your next move. Action: Creates multiple small floating glowing fish that give off a faint pleasant aura, allowing everyone to chill out after their dungeon adventure.

Robert Smith

After a night of consideration I have decided Levi can Get It and I hope to rub his belly and booty soon.

cherrydad

You are right and you should say it louder

Kumaguma

Harmony Star: Sorry for being late! It has just been awful for me as of late but you have gone through hell, too. Maybe, this could help! Action: Uses harmony to play relaxing magical music that can lower anxiety.

Rodney Talon

It's possible it may be out of the reset

Rodney Talon

(Free to abridge/alter ic dialog to fit) Iwapele: (to Cherry) "Both" used what you knew of Red, Master, and Dom to hurt them with their feelings and some of even yourself. You cannot delay the mastering of your àṣẹ any longer. I shall serve as conveyance of your heart's cry to them who form you as far and strongly as I can. (To party) Cherry overheard Cleric & Wolf on his promotion and has been sick and angry of being deceived and patronized for what he is as to wish to be in your eyes, at least a little, against all in this room. I would raise a hand in shameful acceptance if I had one. Yes, we know your other secrets and lies to each other as well since then. Resolve them before move forward. The gods and their prince are against you. Action: Convey a vision/revelation so the party knows in mind as if drawing from a report of What can be divined as he is recomposed in the crystal. What he wants to privately say to each. Especially seek to send his wishes and warnings to his furtherest family. How to pay/accomplish: Reach through his wound to draw on the Lost and their effect to transform as pure fuel for our effect.

rawr7

Okay, so like, hasn't Cherry been actively lying to everyone at this point? His constant claims that he can't do magic are just him lying because he knows he's a freaking Arbiter-level reality warping mage trying to pretend to be a normal person.

Rodney Talon

Iwapele: I don't think he took his eye out for deceit and commitment to his role. He has little to no direct control or awareness over whatever power abides through him. but he does know he had some power over the lost...and I suspect he's been holding back on knowledge of his Master's past and Dom's feelings in an adolescent attempt at power or maturity. But he's been hiding or avoiding something of himself. His darker urges and judgements. His anxieties, his prognosis on so many levels he should know he is slated to die young or soon. As for what else? We do not know. But I think examining him with him would be best and sharing what from each of our domains or collaboration with him and his physic can render plain the best way to salvage *something* from this boondoggle of a dive into danger

rawr7

I guess I should introduce myself: I'm the Contention Star. My domains are Strife, Retaliation, Grief and Regret but never Remorse. I am the soldier, the answerer, for I meet every blow with one of my own. My resolve is etched in my scars. My answer is violence.

rawr7

(I wish i knew what the rules were but I can't because the rules were taken down at some point before I joined Patreon.)

Rodney Talon

Ooc: may I ask what is giving you trouble?

rawr7

Ooc: There was supposed to be an FAQ about Stars and their power and the link doesn't work so I'm just winging it right now.

Rodney Talon

Ooc: most of us are. We.have only basic guidelines. You pick a domain and a name say what about. Some more in character than I am but can attempt almost anything but the real determination is the gm allowance and member endorsement. The latter in the form of likes. What is the contention star about? Even then can reach out of theme in effect if fulfill goal seen rng's wheelbarrow or another star's haste potion. Or father star giving daddy kink .equipment. Also if one action supports another it might form a constellation. You may also ask to intentionally collaborate or act with or off another Most of this is plucked up as.played. you aren't that much more ignorant.

Rodney Talon

Quote from 2nd update it's time to choose your star's realm of influence! in addition to their commanding voice and their ability to hear the thoughts of the bearer of the ring, the stars of fate are capable of shaping the world around the bearer in a limited way, manipulating the elements that compose it. There are some rules to it: 1- the realm you choose will influence what kind of name we'll pick for you and the appearance of your star. We already chose some on this update based on the descriptions on the relative comment. For those who appeared in this update, let me know what realm your star controls.  maybe the windchime star controls wind? or perhaps sound? you're free to pick whatever you find more appropriate. This is true for all the other stars of course. Write in your next comment the realm of your star aside from your usual comment - (i.e. star of the realm of lust, i'm going to give cherry a boner )  2- the realm of time is forbidden.    3- the have an easy time manipulating the elements of their realm,but creating said things from thin air is a higher form of magic, and all magic has a price... 4-the strength of their powers depend on the consensus they have between them. The unified will of the stars of fate is powerful, but having an unified front in their ranks is rare. This means that the more likes a command to use a star's power gets the more powerful the manipulation will be.  (i.e. if a star of fire says in their comment they want to enlarge the flame of a candle , 5 likes will probably be enough for it to have the desired effect. but if they wat to extinguish a house fire, they'll probably need around 20 or so.   The likes are also what is used to determined if something gets past the stats of a character. We know now wolf has 20 strength. So to debilitate him or restrain him, that's how many likes a comment from a star that has the realm of weakness, body, or something like that will need)  5-more than one star can share a single realm. A star can also choose not to select a realm until it feels like it's time to do so. (This is for fun, there’s no rush or pressure to pick one.) as an additional rule, please refrain to use the powers of the stars to create ad-hoc images and oc inserts, loopholes around these rules aren't appreciated.

Asher Heart

Submission Star: “Oooooh! Congrats Cherry boy! You’ve made a big decision today and are one big step closer to being a great hero! You deserve a reward for your bravery and strong will!” Action: (If Cherry is awake and conscious) Summon the “DIK Frat Pledge Cap”- a special cap adorned with the letters of a legendary fraternity of Pledgemasters known as the Delta Iota Kappa who were infamous for their parties and all things debauchery. While wearing the cap, the wearer gets inebriated a little quicker (1.5x as usual) and they obtain the skill “Beer Me”- allowing them to summon a real drinkable brewski they can use to fuel their divine magic.

Alan

Librarian Star: (To the Arbiters) I see no reason to withhold that a former of your number be an antagonist and a factor in the apparent impossibility for the narrative to progress to a desirable ending. Is there ought you can tell us of him?

Fe5ter

Mellow Minnows

Rodney Talon

(in character for fun) Iwapele: May it become Rebuke, sibling. All should strive for balanced expression of virtue to seize their ase to create greater. And the necessary response against, even to retard antagonism, obstacle, or tyrant, may not need blood. But I seek to understand, achieve and grant control, to mastery, to individuals harmonious empowerment so they can control the energy of creation. Ase. Thank you for greeting. May we coordinate.

Rodney Talon

(IC for fun) Iwapele: Thought you wanted him to be Cherry Boulderbelt? Will that help him be what he asked? I think should master within first before exercising these unfamiliar parts without. Or is it like being a babe? To waddle, cry, and mess before stand, sing, and issue bliss.

Rodney Talon

(IC for fun) Iwapele: We're not meant to solve a task. Merely thwart actions they despise to save them. A grenade in the the system of equal grease and sugar. I'd prefer we get everyone else's story as well. And talk. But it seems everyone's determined to never do that for the sake of opportunity cost, always framed as something like death to those who seek never subject to it. Pitiable. I didn't think they'd be less brave than than a dying youth. They know *we* will die but set us to act without their restraint or wisdom. Pah

Glaz

Heart Star (to wolf) : I apologise for interrupting at this hour, sweet wolf. There's been something troubling me for some time and I wanted to seek council with you. (hopefully my star has had a good relationship with wolf so far, if he accepts) Every blue moon, us stars we hear a voice from beyond the metaphysical realm of gods and those that seek higher positions. Beyond the void, is a voice I feel you know whose heart it belongs to... Action: (with permission, the Heart Star in some way relays the messages we've been getting at the beginning and end of chapters. Probably shown via magically glowing Wolf's heart/chest and letting them feel the emotion of it all) Please feel free to edit or adjust however you need make it fit, I know it's kinda a more meta leaning request.

rawr7

To Marston: “You see what I have to deal with? Soft hearts everywhere! Remember, Marston: Your personal liberty and happiness is not unalienable. It must be redeemed regularly with agony and sweat and blood and devotion. Your life is not cheap and never free of cost. Defend it thus!”

Rodney Talon

"Imagine the surrender so sweet if our efforts saved the violated armored fellow. We'll have fought their advance and authority. Defended lives and dignity. And gained the strength once set against us. Greater spoil with just a little Care to balance the Courage you bare against our foes. At the least if not join hands will be divided within. And further rebuke to the cruel and injust use of power by the gods that set them against us. A besting, wouldn't you say, simmering sibling"

Rodney Talon

Iwapele: May we collaborate in our efforts. I wish to convey messages of heart as well. Though involving Cherry. Perhaps his feelings for his Master in the event he overheard? Or what he's feeling right now. so has a tether to center to the here and now?

rawr7

"No, you're wrong. This isn't the stories. In the stories, the hero always saves the one he loves. If you try to save everyone, you'll just get yourself killed. That's the lessons I learned on the battlefield."

Rodney Talon

"You learned that on battlefield? The enemy unswayed by action and words? Or did you take this insight into conflict and found nothing of note? I would note even with these adventurers we are outnumbered. them with ready experienced fighters. And certainly the lost exceed or skill. I do not say not fight. I say our surest best victory had with more than fury to strike true. The heart. If someone saved a fellow soldier. You would not be weaker against them? We did come to aid them in the 1st place

StardustReverie

Cozy Star: If there's one thing I can agree with, it's that we're not the most organized unit of reality-altering observers. To that end, I'd seek information -- to more comfortably guide us. What role do Sylvia and Milo play, or rather, what role *did* they play, until recently? (General action is to ask the arbiters for more information on the godlings -- I wanna know what was up with Sylvia's purple energy and corrupted spells!)

Yoked Coder

Look at that lovely new dog, I think they might be my favorite design so far before beast cherry. Incredible update and woahh, an ARK drop! Amazing work BC!!

Rodney Talon

"The red arbiter acted to cause the blackout on the ship with his time control? Can he *only* reset?"

SmoreDreg

Fire Pit Star: Let's warm everyone up, you all look very chilly at the moment. And maybe some smell of food will be nearby for your starvation after your intense battle. (Action: All the star is going to do is warm everyone up with magically heat to make them feel cozy and yet heated. While heating up some nearby food for the party to smell)
