Invasion Report:

Due to the nature of the surprise attack and the fact you sent everrryone, that was kind of a one sided massacre, producing 4 new hordes of undead, though two of the original set died in the attack so net gain of 2 hordes. Amazingly no heroes died and a large section of the fleet overhead has been captured by Eret and the gang. So far all is going well…too well.

In response the Divya armies have begun to remobilize and the main force has kept up its wildland destruction, though now moving northward towards Shahira. Intel isn’t sure what heroes are what to up as they’ve all suddenly disappeared from the public eye except for Vasistha who continues to lead the people alongside the Raja.

So far spies and intel networks have traced that Hasin Bava has moved towards Svarga but there are now 5 people claiming to be Grand Marshal Devadas around the country, and no one knows where the real one is. Eret has noticed that all 5 of them are shielded from his foresight and since they are the acting commanders of every Sanika legion, he can’t predict these particular troop movements.

Spies and dream network scanning only reveals that he’s still alive and out there but there is no certainty which one is actually him. So far they haven’t had to engage in combat directly so we can’t narrow it down to “whichever one has the power of Indra”

The Taiyo fleet is experiencing travel time, but southward they come with the power of the shogunate, their basic infantry have been left at home along with their other heroes but the ones on the map and the ones with cards are the ones coming south to participate.

No sign of Atlantis thus far.

Kikai Senso:

Lo’c has too much to do right now to try and create jinkonies and mounted weapons. He’ll get back to you on that.

Banner Created.

Shento:

Lin Sun:

Kaisa power blessed and now obnoxiously good at freezing things but also her cyrokineticism becomes more advanced allowing her to shape and manipulate the ice in weird ways such as creating animated weapons of ice. Granted the actual viability of those weapons is suspect but its still cool.

Vris runs temple

Chaaaaarge.

Con Lai:

Isis once again cannot figure out how Milenkosi works, and while they have confirmed his powers do work outside of the dream realm they still don’t quite know any way to reproduce it or if it even can be reproduced as it could be unique to him.

Door opened and all that, along with power altered to keep up with the statement that you had put doors in all the major Halea cities.

Ume Kon’s powers seem to be very similar to Saba Kuu’s just less team orientated and more enemy team orientated. That and he can turn into a cloud of smoke which happens to be capable of suffocating people, just like Saba Kuu except instead of ranged he floats himself toward his victims, granted the size of the cloud is equally limited in size.

With power blessing the range of targets that can be effected by his sleep powers increases as well as his effective control within the lucid dreams. Power blessing Rena turns her voice’s natural alluring effect into a sort of emotional hypnosis. Depending what tone she speaks in, she can be calming, alluring, enraging, depressing, etc though she is limited to the range at which she can actually be heard.

You continue to torture enemies who try to take a nap.

Several new champions for other factions have been added, so lets go over them.

The second most powerful man in the nation, second only to the Raja himself. Vasistha is the leader of the Tekno Jagara and high prophet of Dyaus Pita. He has the power of extreme technomancy. Similar to how Dyaus Pita turned the fleet into an avatar, Vasistha can alter technology to his purposes on the fly. The size of his arsenal is theoretically infinite as he invents new gadgets as he goes along, though typically he just wields raw destructive energy unless he finds himself needing a gizmo.

Tier 2

Vasistha’s bodyguard and apprentice in technomancy. With the same aspect powers granted to him by Dyaus, you can expect Kiann to be pretty much a miniature Vasistha. Though Kiann does not wield the explosive energies Vasistha does, he often find ways to make do with what he has. Don’t let his priest robes or scrawny frame fool you, he very suddenly turns into a fully armored Sanika when he is expecting a fight.

Tier 3

As the high prophet of such a powerful destroyer god, Lakshay’s power is pretty predictable. He blows things up. He doesn’t lead a terribly large army nor is he a good commander but when you can make whole platoons blow up, who needs skill?

Tier 3

One of the stranger endowed powers but fitting the Divya theme, Hasin can create weapons from the tek spirits in his arms. Manifesting their spirits into whatever form he wants, these weapons are as powerful as the spiritual blades the Senshi use but are far more diverse. Hasin is not a particularly powerful commander, but as a duelist he is exceptional and should be approached with caution.

Tier 1

An old fashioned man, using his thick body and thicker sword he travels around keeping to the old styles of combat instead of all these fancy energy and projectile weapons everyone else around him is using. Sanjiv leads a large army and is quite competent on the field both as a hero and a commander.

Tier 2

Nergal’s apprentice, assistant, or just minion. However you want to look at it, Maliken is a powerful servant of the demonic agenda. His powers aren’t well understood but its known he excels in subtle tactics and assault. Unlike Nergal however, Maliken wields a lot more overt powers and can cause larger scale demolition then the demon of secrets. It is suspected Maliken is sent to deconstruct buildings rather then make people disappear, he was the one that broke the Aetas temple but no one is sure how he did.

Tier ?

Erelim and Salathiel aren’t terribly different from each other and are technically brothers. Erelim is the older one if you were curious. They are actually some of the more powerful black mages of Si Da who Azazel decided would serve as his commanders and champions on the field. Neither are as talented as their master in leading demon hordes but they usually are told what to do ahead of time and instead serve as raw muscle. Both have the typical physique and regenerative abilities expected of high level black mages, and both have the powers of destruction, similar to Baal and Abaddon before them. They hold aspect blessings of Azazel, giving them ways to bolster the powers of their armies.

Tier 2

No one is sure who made such comically large katana for him, but he seems to wield them just fine. As the high prophet of Hachiman he is also one of the main commanding generals on the field. A master of both strategy and physical confrontation.

Tier 2

Despite his master going mad, Raijin is still alive and thus his high prophet has not lost their powers. As apprentice to Raijin, Hayashi is one of the most dangerous champions in the Taiyo pantheon. Similar to his master, Hayashi exhibits calm and thoughtful behavior, only resorting to violence if necessary and when necessary he ends it quickly.He is known to imitate his master’s favorite technique, becoming living lightning as his method of travel and repositioning in combat.

Tier 0

A challenge seeker, Arima is known to request duels with champions from around the world to test her mettle against them. Despite her hobby, she’s not terribly dangerous in single combat with her power to manipulate the wind around her. However, she is one of the best commanders in the Taiyo pantheon and is very knowledgeable in warfare.

Tier 4

Ryujin’s youngest champion, Ishimoto obviously has the power of hydromancy. His capabilities with such are fairly impressive,

Tier 3

The Heroic Tier List revisited

With all the changes, its time to revisit who is where so you have a bit more knowledge of the matchup potential. Remember, this is rough and based around them walking into each other unexpectedly. Sometimes they have other soldiers, larger armies, or are just more cunning and prepared.

Tier 6: Lo’c Thua, Sarnai, Teozix, Vris, Naberius, Gremory, Eret Daiheb, Su Shento, Rena, Malu Jio

Shento: Kaja learns his new powers shockingly fast and while he lacks the level of control or raw power that Dracula had, his creativity rivals Vlad’s. Having already developed several techniques to use the power offensively in combination with his own fighting style.

Hector begins the art of finding who is worthy to train as a proper knight. So far he’s crushed a lot of dreams with his callous observations in picking who is worthy. Though notably, he has accepted Alex.

Speaking of which, Alexandria has taken to following the paladins around and trying to learn from them during downtime. Since Carmilla is running the city that leaves her with a lot of free time when there are no messages to relay, and she wants to be able to defend herself if Anna tries to kill her. It iss unclear if Hector accepted her as a student because of her position as high prophet and his superior or if she has any degree of talent though.

The hunt for Ryner begins, but this update isn’t skipping all that much time so they’re currently traveling.

Carmilla begins spy network, fairly easily since people practically beg to make her happy. She’s slowly becoming more and more powerful with her social status and Alex has noticed that if it weren’t for Kaja and Hector, Carmilla would be dangerously close to being capable of a borderline mutiny. Granted, Carmilla has never shown any tendency to disobey the cult or any dissatisfaction but Alex is still scared of the vampires since she knew them as the apex predator of the jungle for awhile before she was selected to join the cult’s upper echelon, years of “hide from the night hunters” has left her a bit edgy around them.

That being said Alex is rapidly becoming politically powerful within the blood jungle as well, the paladins see her as the leader since they are holy warriors they serve the high prophet loyally. As Alex trains among them they are starting to become very familiar with her, similar to the way Song Yi rose to military prominence by training with the soldiers. Anna and the Tyrant clan are noticing how quickly they’ve stopped being a “faction” in blood politics, as its now just Carmilla and Alex. That being said, Carmilla seems to like Alex well enough anyways, so there is no infighting to worry about, but the stark differences between the vampire holdings in Sarnai and the Crimson Order are becoming a bit more apparent.

Lo’c is currently backed up on requests.

The orc chief think tank sort of depends on what you want them to do. Mystic work, maybe some fancy staff to symbolize spiritual leadership. Lead through strength? Axes are classic. Can never go wrong with a fancy helmet either, or even just a symbolic necklace.

The new policies input by Hector and Carmilla hand off a lot of resources to anyone inducted into the Crimson Order’s knights. This turns out to have pretty fast appeal and Kaja brings in an “old friend” once again. Turns out the man knows how to get some recruits in a hurry for war time. Carmilla starts investigating where the hell all these Divus accented, named, and obviously trained warriors are coming from.

Noelle is evidently familiar with Kaja and Hector as they all seem rather chummy. She is more like Hector then Kaja though, exhibiting traits of eloquence and clearly familiar with higher class etiquette. Carmilla is starting to get excited were not for the concern that these people all come from somewhere very specific and no one knows where right now.

Noelle’s power as a black mage is pyrokineticism. As with Hector, she is freakishly advanced in its usage very quickly able to find creative applications to enhance her destructive potential. Carmilla has put more effort into her investigation.

Lin Sun:

In an attempt to apologize to Thandar he punches you so hard you fly through a stone wall, obviously he used his telekinetics to make it hurt more. That was all he said on the matter. Freyja explained that’s how Ofrior forgives people sometimes, and she thought it was sweet how close you two were that he would give you such a traditional rite. That being said you’re aware he hit you WAY harder then you hit him.

The Milenkosi thing is actually a long and complicated affair. First off Eleni and the girls left because Thandar “escorted” them away as per Milenkosi’s advice. Milen pointed out Eleni may not be the prophet with her powerset anymore, but she still thrives on conflict and chaos. She was only here because she knew Eret was going to be a bit crazy and now she’ll be headed back to Atlantis where a power struggle will soon erupt. That girl has some weird issues. While Thandar was dealing with Eleni, Milen pinned Eret down and forced him to take a nap which triggered Eret to decompress all of his experiences as a pirate somehow and rendered him catatonic for awhile, recounting the various experiences to Milen such as Rackham killing his first girlfriend by hanging her from the mast, his pet bird being cooked by the crew when he wasn’t looking and then served to him as a prank, the first few times he had to kill people, the part where he might have been a little raped himself, and many attempts on his life in the middle of the night he barely survived. In the end his problems aren’t cured with a single nap though Milen introduced him to a nice young lady to help him asssimilate back into normal life. He’s now apparently dating Rena the Siren, whose powers turn out to be very effective in calming Eret down when he gets a bit high strung. However, Eret still retains some of his edge as he sets out to train the anti divya air team. Song Yi named him the captain of the air force since he’s the only one with an airship to use in the first place and Eret intends to join the war in full with his newly assembled team.

As a side note, he also encountered Jin Zhang while visiting the dream realm. They recognized each other and began a duel that lasted six hours before they both gave up and went to find something else to do. They are now drinking buddies apparently and are overly competitive at everything.

While he was in Sele’akala Eret unintentionally walked into Song Yi’s fist sixteen times and fell down a flight of stairs. Ira was lended to his sky crew, and he still needs dad’s permission to take Thandar and Kaisa with him.

Songstone proves a popular form of entertainment as it spreads around the nation. The first adventure pack DreamOn™ comes out later this month and the dev team is hanging out in the dream realm to collect artistic renderings.

Special blessed coat complete.

Con Lai:

Jin’s power leveled up is all the powers basically. The other two just get numeric increases.

Your attempt to hook up Jin and Sabriya results in a totally other thing happening. While they don’t exactly start dating they do start hanging out…and Jin is Eret’s new drinking buddy. The dream trio with no skills and all the skills has assembled.

Door opened.

Your new head of PR is dating Eret.

Kikai Senso:

The idea of modular wings turns out to be incompatible with current Jinko models and plans. So instead we made a new one!

The Rackham project was inspired to be super modular and capable of having basically batman’s utility belt. The idea is to just have lots and lots of tricks and gadgets in a single frame. Rikuto was chosen to wield it, it carries ranged armaments, melee weapons, Isis gave it the ability to shoot lightning, it has flamethrowers, grappling hooks, what is being called as the  “blast pack” which the Sanika use to create controlled explosions to propel themselves forward by force and then just let momentum take them somewhere. Rikuto also has a variety of ways to change out their armaments and special upgrades. While there aren’t many available yet it leaves room for improvement, but as a whole the frame suffers from its lack of dedication. The modularity means it has many more weak points and far less durability in its construction so it has to rely on its gadgets to overcome people before it gets into a straight up slug fest with something like a Takeshi for example.

Everyone else:

The altepetl forces wait about a days journey away from the Wild border as they ready to assault. Current war council plans pending more group convo:

Eret is going to be the first move they make, using the recon ship he stole as a way to sneak up on them and try to cripple an air fleet near the border and maybe steal more ships. Hopefully he’ll do enough damage in the first night that they’ll be weakened. The plan is for scout Senshi to spread out across the border in a hurry to find the weakest possible spots, they expect it to be near the border to Taiyo. The idea is they can’t have the entire border lined with defenses, somewhere there has to be enough space for a day’s trip into their territory from the edges. Hopefully, can get into their cities and start to attack them while skipping the border conflict entirely. While this makes retreat extremely difficult and is risky in that the army will be surrounded, Saldis’ forces will continue to swell the more people fall either friend or foe.

The basic idea is to get within their land so their long range super weapons and airship cannons can’t be fired without also hitting their own stuff, using their own cities as cover instead of the much flimsier trees of the forest. More planning to be done over conferences.

Also be sure to carefully specify which of your champs is involved in what and who is going to the war etc.

The missing story I hadn’t finished by the last update but posted because I wanted people to start working on their update plans.

The winner of the second crimson fist tournament, and by a significant margin. While he was a technical denizen of the forest, myths about his kill count confirm that much, we’re pretty sure this is not his first rodeo. However, he still technically met the qualifications to be called an amateur competitor. He then proceeded to win quite handily against his tribal opponents.

Kaja is a black mage with the power of momentum control over himself. By stepping forward and magnifying it he just flies forward at ridiculous speeds and stops right where he needs to. In practice it looks  very similar to being super fast but he’s not actually moving his legs, meaning he lands in perfect stance and does not have to concern himself with going too fast. He can also use these powers to make his shield extremely difficult to push through, or collide his sword into you hard enough to take down  a tree in one shot.

His past is rather mysterious, no one knows where he came from, but he had that armor already when he got to the forest to partake in the games. He is generally quiet and doesn’t talk much, but its been discovered he has the understanding of warfare as if he had perhaps at one time been a military general.

Alexandria, or just Alex, must have come from Divus purely by their name alone. They are actually a sort of plague aspect, but they’re capable of using that to sicken and weaken their opponents much quicker then normal.

They earned their name from cursing opponents in the blood jungle and letting them fall ill. Creeping up on them a day or so later when they were too weak to defend themselves before taking the kill. Their diseases however are not infectious, it simply causes dramatic symptoms in its target.

As a person Alex’s youth is evident, and she is always slightly cocky in her abilities despite how weak her skills with her sword are from all this lack of real conflict in her life. Though as a hunter and assassin she proves to be fairly effective as the skills of using her methodology has earned her the attention of the blood cult.

Mission report:

With the execution of order 66, we did a bit of a live battle. Stats!

Masashi’s dead, Cataegis Dead, Zachariah’s dead, davids probably dead, sarah’s dead, baal’s dead, lillith’s dead, bunch of demons are dead, andelko is dead, abalam is dead. Lo’c and teozix are kidnapped. Oh and Neith has gone insane.

The land of Hele’a Jeongsin now exists and has started to get rolling.

Shento:

Talked to Bahamut, he was not very receptive just like with Lin Sun

Creation of the Uhanesin-yi was successful but only after Song Yi came to help and enabled them with the ability to be that level of receptive to spirits.

Mystics recruited

Nameless smithy apprentice #5 given the power to create spirit constructs and sent to work with Lo’c.

Vris explains Traitor Fang’s aspect has the quirk of being more powerful then any other, including dragon and creator. She isn’t sure why or what it does, but she suspects the demons plan A is to ascend him. This coincides with the notion that Si Da is holding all the sun gods in one place as a backup plan instead of their go-to. Though given the ease of access, she’s relatively certain this black out the sun thing is more complicated then it seems as they could have killed Ama and Ra already. The implication is that there is yet still another layer in the plan or that Freyja’s guess was slightly off on how the sun thing works.

Double the prophets double the fun.

Zaeed’s financial investments go a long way in helping to create this particular arena. Durings its opening Song was quoted as saying “Why are the spirits okay with this!?” Apparently the spirits are some of the main spectators too and they have some sort of spirit beer and hot dogs at the stadium. She’s not quite a fan though, Zaeed says she’s only mad because she’s not allowed to compete.

Lin Sun:

Kaisa turns out to be pretty talented as her training goes on, in focusing on martial combat over raw power she develops faster and more efficient techniques over grand sweeping ones. Meaning instead of learning how to do cone of cold she learned the ice slide instead.

Zachariah dead, and while you didn’t get to personally watch it you do know Anahita destroyed the black library.

If they were worth knowing they’d get a card. Also Thandar was and still is the commander, the other guy is a level lower.

Con Lai:

In learning about the denizens and the eleven sleeping lords you also comb around and find out about the other beasties that lurk about. Not everything in the dream world is sentient and there are other kinds of intelligent life forms in here. As indicated by Baridi though, most are not very interested nor understanding of the same concepts you are. The Sleeping Lords wind up teaching you about the realm over time and helping you learn how it functions even further, increasing your effectiveness here.

You currently have shrines at Sele’akala and some other port cities. The bulk of your followers tend to be merchants due to your constant upkeep with them and Gremory’s work before he died. One could wonder if you were really a greed aspect.

Kikai Senso: Covered everything you do live.

Eret’s Odyssey Pt.2

Sima Wa sacrificed himself in a super massive ritual that changes the face of the game significantly.

Here you go.

It seems the demons found out whats going on, you’ve also recently learned that Abalam has a few books with him even outside of his library. It turns out he kept a book of every high prophet with him just in case. In response to learning of Lin Sun’s plans, they have mobilized to remove him from Sthan Thi, opting to strike first rather then try to outposition.

The Aetas have already been denounced as being in league with the rest of the world by Amaterasu, turning the city against them. Though during the chaos that ensued their escape the city hadn’t yet united in opinion against the once popular temple, buying them time to escape with the help of Con Lai’s temple and the wily Jin Zhang and Freyja.

The doors were closed after the Aetas escaped, but in response the demon’s also attacked the temple of the Vua Cai. As it turns out Abalam also know’s the plans of Machera, however that turned out to be far less simple. Machera was last seen standing just outside the city on the road in a ‘come at me bro’ pose. Senshi left the corpses of nergal’s assassins along its outer walls. The city remains safe for now, sheltering the remaining vikings who would have been targeted for Freyja’s helping the Aetas otherwise.

Conveniently, all of Sthan Thi’s weapons had been appropriated for the battle with the paladins, their troops were in disarray after having to deal with squeezing through the door twice. The bigger demons were also prepped for war with the paladins, and for once in his life Nergal jumped the gun and screwed up, resulting in a kill count of 0 somehow. That was rather…lucky. Zaeed got Milenkosi drunk while he was at it too.

Most of the Thykenians returned to their land upon hearing of all this crap going on, at this stage they just want to duck out of the way of anymore trouble.  Those that remained joined the Vua Cai after being brainwashed by dreams for so long. The dust has yet to really settle.

All other actions got sort of offed by the very sudden need to deal with this.

Too much shit to turn into stories of lore:

Anna Von Goethe replaced Johann Von Goethe by way of brutally murdering her two competitors. Dracula approved.

Kharis recovered,  Song Fang still missing.

Eli’s Pirates killed Athalia and took her weapons. In attempting to attack Naomi and take over her weapons Eleazor noticed and retook control over them for her using rackham’s own power and copying the titus effect. Turns out when Eleazor can copy the cheap tactics of his opponent he is outright more skilled then Rackham. However, he was defeated by the rest of the pirate gang long enough for them to retreat before Naomi could kill them all in a fit of rage.

Pirates pursued by demons shortly afterward, they fled to the high seas once again.

Dracula and Anna currently in dream realm along with the aetas and Zaeed’s crew.

Kagayakashi done movethed. Its a slow process achieving speeds of a whole 2MPH, but its a fucking city.

Much of the population from Doi Cho Len is currently within the valleys between the mountains along with the vampires still.

Con Lai with the help of Milenkosi discovered the dream denizens, the naturally occurring population within the realm. They’re all weird as shit and don’t really seem to understand the concept of war. They busy themselves with maintaining the dream realm and its visitors, if Milenkosi is king there are 11 denizens below him that make up ruling masters of various territories of the dream realm. They are called the Sleeping Lords, and according to Milenkosi they are respectfully powerful. Out of curiosity, one has broken its habitual tending to the realm to come see what this Con Lai thing is all about.

While it did not originally have a name, nor understand the purpose of one, Milenkosi has given it the name Saba Kuu to make things easier for everyone. While Saba is clearly intelligent, very much so, they do not really understand many concepts we’d consider very basic. Such as names, war, possessions, and nations. Though they do always seem to know a few things we don’t. Milenkosi explains that the dream denizens tend to be very isolated from the world you are used to, which is why Baridi is so curious and outgoing. Saba seems to share the curiosity, but with a more detached composure. In the physical world, Saba’s powers are not well understood or consistent.

Given the suddenly, and dramatically, decreased team roster, I thought we’d throw her in. Sabriya is the high prophet of Zaeed, god of luck. Zaeed chose her by visiting a tavern in Shahira. He saw a beautiful woman he just had to flirt with, so he walked up to hit on her, only to discover she couldn’t hear or speak to him in his godlike state. So he made her his high prophet so she could hear him hitting on her.

Weirdly enough, turns out she is like Jin Zhang in the sense that despite her behavior her powers allow her to cheat the fact that she should suck at everything with her lifestyle. Blessed by the powers of Zaeed, everything seems to work out alright for her quite often.

Eret’s Odyssey Part 1

The commander of the Valkyries, or whats left of them anyways. She is the major representative for the vikings that have moved into Si Da lands. Her main temple, as well as the viking immigrants, can be found between Kagayakashi and Sthan Thi, a bit north of the main road.

Her primary interests are in seeing that her people survive the century and at the pantheon’s political table she has yet to really take any particular side as most of the arguments have little to do with her people.

Holds the power of force, similar to the shockwave effects Thandar could produce but branching slightly. While its clear that Thandar’s aspect is formed from telekinesis, Velius’ is formed from manipulation of force. He can amplify and reduce it by large amounts, while he has yet to approach Song Fang’s unstoppable weapon, its a respectable power. He typically leads the Aetas on missions abroad, often making visits to their various projects to check up on them and ensure all goes smoothly. With the recent vacancies on the roster, his name comes up as one of the stronger, wiser, and more important available.

Its your favorite, a freeze mage. Freezing is technically time related right?

Kaisa is a cryomancer, able to control ice shards and induce incredible cold into objects to make ice shards. She’s actually pretty talented and well educated, but she is young and inexperienced. She still needs further training and has yet to refine her powers or specialize in any particular job. She is a lower member of the Aetas but is one of the few to showcase innate talents and have an actually powerful aspect so she makes the list instead of her superior officers. Also Kinzoku brought her up, its all about who you know in this business.

Mazaki is a fairly stalwart gal. Her aspect power is regeneration, while it isn’t as potent as people like Naomi’s its still useful. Especially when coupled with full plate armor. Unlike the talented Kaisa or powerful Velius, Mazaki stands out through a mix of skill and tenacity.

She’s a bit serious and not a lot of fun, guess who recommended her? Thandar has often relied on her for local matters with the time cops. Despite her lack of significant powers, she has taken down dangerous black mages several times over. She has demonstrated squad command tactics and the solid intuition required to fight bigger badder monsters then oneself.
