You are PRIESTESS ARIA. You used to be a priest of the HIGH ORDER, but they kicked you out because your views were different from theirs.
You are currently hiding near the HIGH ORDER CASTLE, planning on how to get your revenge on them. But it seems someone else had the same idea as you, and the castle is on fire.
What will you do?
Run to a village and tell everyone that you did it
>>103358
This. Also do we have any holy power?
>>103337
Create a new religious sect based on your views.
>>103337
Go and head twords the burning castle, there are people to help!
(What were we a priestess of?)
>>103392
Oh, wait, nevermind. Just read that the castle belongs to the dicks who kicked us out, fuck em.
You should still find out who did it though
>>103358
>>103391
There are no villages in miles, the castle is completely secluded from civilization.
>>103392
The HIGH ORDER were faithful followers of the GODS OF OLD. However, recently things started to get shaky ever since the new HIGH PRIESTESS took over the order.
>>103383
You were a low rank priestess, so all you can do is shoot some sparkles and basic healing.
>>103450
Check if we can get some resources from the castle ruins
>>103450
search for the person who beat to the punch on getting revenge.
Take off clothes and insert rock into pussy.
Try to fuck the high priestess
>>103457
>>103467
You take your FIRE MACE, the only "gift" the order let you keep when they kicked you out, and spend the next 30 minutes walking down to the castle.
The fire seems to be recent, and many screams can be heard from the inside.
>>103495
If anything, the HIGH PRIESTESS is probably at the highest tower, unless she has evacuated already.
>>103553
Try to climb the walls and enter
>>103553
Try to reach the high priestess tower
>>103553
Rescue some people and convince them to form an adventuring party with you.
>>103553
Absorb fire that is in your path by using your staff.
>>103553
Strike down any survivor you see.
>>103581
Do this. Do not let them escape.
>>103553
Search for the high priestess tower, if she isn't then we can at least loot her place.
>>103450
Who are the GODS OF OLD? How many are there and what are they each god of?
Stick a rock in your pussy
rock in pussy while killing anyone that tries to escape. Loot their bodies
As you approach the front gate, you see a figure crawling out of the flames. It is one of the priestesses from the order.
>>103581
>>103588
She tries to call for help, but you mercilessly strike her with your FIRE MACE.
>>103621
>>103561
>>103562
>>103579
The walls are too high for you to climb, and if you fall it will be certain doom since the castle is on a mountain top. Instead, you enter and use your FIRE MACE to absorb the fire. It isn't very powerful, but it creates an air bubble that protects you from fire and heat.
>>103698
Look for the high priestess
>>103698
Oh okay, then pillage the entire place.
>>103709
This
>>103698
Absorb more fire to charge up your staff for a special attack incase you meet some resistance.
>>103709
Seconding
>>103726
sorry I mean mace.
You are now in the MAIN HALL.
(sorry forgot to post the castle interior)
>>103743
Go up the stairs, then through the ominous door.
>>103743
Go through the closed door on the left. Break it down if you have to
>>103748
This
>>103743
Important things are always kept on the upper floor. Head up.
>>103758
You try to open the door on the left, but it is made of metal and it won't budge.
>>103748
>>103793
Instead, you head upstairs and break the door to the MESS HALL, only to find the possible cause for the fire: a DEMON!
>>103844
Tame it
>>103844
Get the fuck out of there
>>103844
Attack the demon if she is faithful she will not be harmed!
>>103844
Use sparkle magic and use your womanly qualities to distract him. Then smite him with your mace.
>>103844
Condense all the fire you have stored in your mace into one powerful fireball and blast it at the demon. then flee if that doesn't work.
>>103844
We're we a lowly priestess who can't do much and it's giant demon that just destroyed a castle, let's do the math here. Also just run away.
>>103882
We have the power of sparkle magic though!
>>103982
>>103853
>>103860
>>103870
You try to use your sparkle magic and the accumulated fire in your mace for a super blast of holy fire.
However, your priestess rank is too low to pull off such a stunt, and your attack does nothing against the demon.
As the demon prepares to attack you, he suddenly stops, and his head falls off! It seems a KNIGHT has saved you.
The fire surrounding the castle dies down. But roars can be heard coming from other parts of the castle now that the fire is gone.
>>104015
Run away
>>104015
Thank the knight.
>>104015
Ask the knight who he is and if he knows why demons have over run the castle
>>104064
And then... "thank" the knight
>>104064
>>104079
>>104111
That knight is a PALADIN, defenders of the order. Even though they are technically your enemies, you still want to thank him for saving you.
As you approach him, however, he starts to cough blood. He then tries to tell you something:
"...find... mar... cus..."
He is motionless.
He is dead.
>>104217
Well, go find Marcus, also straight our hair
>>104217
Put on his armour and take all his stuff.
>>104217
Kiss him farewell on the helmet, continue upwards.
>>104217
Do a quick search of the body.
>>104223
Also, this.
...ssssssoooooo...are we evil, good, or just on our side? I'm not arguing against finding Marcus (I bite plot hooks like candy), I'm just wondering why we're gonna do it.
>>104271
I still want to go for the High Priestess. Maybe we'll run into him on the way. This dude did save our life, after all.
>>104271
I think we are on our side
>>104217
Say a prayer so that he may find peace in the afterlife.
then find Marcus.
>>104217
Say a few prayers for his soul and be on purify the demon.
>>104223
>>104235
>>104232
>>104290
That would be disrespectful, as a priestess. You do, however, give him a farewell kiss before leaving, as well as saying a short prayer.
You return to the MAIN HALL.
>>104222
>>104271
You have heard of MARCUS. He is the HEAD PALADIN, leader of all knights serving under the order. However, during all the time you spent in, you never saw him. None of the other priestesses ever saw MARCUS, nor did some new knights. But one thing is certain, if you are to find him, you will most likely find the HIGH PRIESTESS with him. That is a feeling you have.
>>104307
Go back for his shit, you got kicked out so your gonna stomp on their rules at every turn.
>>104307
Exit and begin the search for marcus
>>104307
Ah. Makes sense. Welp, let's see...honestly, my immediate thought is that 'they'd probably either evacuate or hole up in a super safe part of the castle.'
So, let's head to her chambers, kill any low level demons if they're still around, and start searching for hidden passageways or escape routes.
>>104307
Go back to the mess hall and drink the demon blood. Why not?
>>104307
Let's check the door on the lower right, to be thorough.
>>104307
Try the north-west route (taking a right immediately upon descending those stairs from the mess room). The door is shut, so hopefully no demons are in there yet.
>>104349
We tried bashing it before, it's pretty shut.
>>104316
>>104329
You decided to check the MESS HALL again to see if you missed anything. DEMONS melt and evaporate when they die, only their bones remain, so there is no blood left.
Besides that, the knight doesn't seem to have anything out of ordinary, except his DEMON SLAYER SWORD. However, it is too heavy for you to carry it.
>>104347
You enter the door to the right of the stairs in the MAIN HALL.
This is the kitchen.
>>104307
Can you still generate fire. if you can don't do it now, it might look like you started the castle fire on purpose.
>>104444
obtain cutlery such as the knife and pan hanging near you. Even if you don't have a good aim or melee skills, they can be used as a distraction.
>>104444
Holy hell, check the Kentucky fried human-chicken, and give a few prayers for him.
>>104444
Search that charred body!
And also the room. For stuff.
>>104444
Poke Burny McBurnvictim to see if he's still in horrible agony.
>>104477
>>104483
>>104532
You check the charred body, who you presume was the CHEF. Besides bones and ash, you find a key.
>>104475
You wonder how you will carry it. Unfortunately, you have no pockets, nor a bag. You can either carry it on your hands or leave them, in case you might need to pick something up later (key items don't count towards this, like letters and keys). Your MACE is being held on your waist by a handle, so you don't need your hands to carry it, only to use it.
>>104454
Unfortunately, the FIRE MACE can only activate when exposed to a fire source. When you came to the castle, you used the BONFIRE you were resting at to light it up.
>>104483
You look around the room and find another key and a burnt letter on top of a table.
>>104633
Take of your skirt and use it as a bag for future items
>>104633
So we know this is for the guy's stash, let's check behind every object in the kitchen.
>>104633
There's still probably some fire still in the stove. Light up the mace there, grab an onion sack to store our stuff inside, then head out.
>>104650
Seconding this. She isn't restrained by priest-like behavior and can improvise for the sake of ADVENTURE and REVENGE
>>104633
beat the shit out of corpsey mc burntface.
just for a small bit of revenge
>>104705
According to how QM dealt with us wanting to loot the knight, she still has some priestly morals. Apparently she's still a priestess, just not of that particular sect anymore. She's a priestess of her own sect.
>>104704
You try out the stove, but it is completely broken.
>>104650
>>104705
You think that to go around exposing your legs to the world in a castle full of demons would be a bad idea. Even if a skirt is not armor, it is better than nothing. You do however find a sack in the remains of a cupboard and use it to carry the FRYING PAN and the KNIFE.
>>104716
You tap the corpse with your MACE, but it breaks and ash falls everywhere. You decide to stop.
>>104658
You have looked the entire kitchen already, all that is left to check is the hole in the wall. It is completely dark.
>>104777
Start moving then
>>104777
Keep looking for MARCUS and have your MACE ready all the time in case there's lesser demons around
>>104777
Going into a dark room is a bad idea at this point, let's go out the door then use the key the chef had on the door that was locked.
(Current Map for reference, you can go up the side stairs on the main hall for those up rooms)
>>104839
Try the locked door again with the new keys.
I'm hoping this quest turns into something good. I'm liking it so far.
>>104889
>>104843
>>104837
You try the keys you found in the kitchen in the locked iron door. None of them work.
Suddenly, you hear a noise coming from upstairs.
>>104882same, it's cozy in way that it has good pacing
>>104907
Go check the noise upstairs
>>104907
Welp, let's get up there and get ready for yon boss fight. Or at least to get the priestess and evacuate the area speedyquick.
...If we want to, I mean. If things are getting too real we can just bounce and hope whatever's up there doesn't come after us.
>>104907
Go upstairs, but the opposite side to where the noise is coming from
>>104907
considering the fact you didn't even harm the last demon, I don't think it would be wise to get in a fight till you get more powerful some how.
>>104946
>>104925
You run to the opposite side of the noise, you are now on the LIVING QUARTERS WEST.
>>105049
Check the dead bodies, and, per usual, give them prayers.
>>105049
inspect painting, is it someone you know?
>>105049
Check behind the painting. Just in case.
>>105049
Look under the bed where you used to sleep. They might have taken the rest of your collection of manly barbarian warrior tapestries for themselves.
>>105049Didn't we live hereWouldn't we know where everything is?
>>105075
As always, you pray for the burnt people. You find a RING with one of them. You take it.
>>105079
Yes, that is the HIGH PRIESTESS. She put a lot of her paintings around the castle, it seems this one was torn apart.
Good ridance.
>>105099
Nope, nothing.
>>105136
>>105137
Unfortunately, your room is on the LIVING QUARTERS EAST, where the noise was coming from.
>>105210
check if all doors in this room are locked or open. then enter the one you feel is the safest.
>>105210
Go find Marcus
>>105210
Time to go to your room.
>>105210
Masturbate.
>>105210
Inspect RING
Detect magic on RING
>>105210
Find dem tapestries. Need to make sure no-one stole 'em.
Especially the one signed by Throk-Dar, the Iron Bear of the Northern Steppes
>>105286
The ring doesn't seem to have any magical properties. It is just a ring.
>>105254
>>105270
From what you remember, there are only 2 rooms per quarters, each with around 4 or 6 beds. The door near the stairs to the MAIN HALL lead to the BALCONY, which in turn lead to the BATHS. But it also goes to the TOWERS.
Either way, the way is connected to the LIVING QUARTERS EAST as well, so the demon or whatever that was there might be moving around there.
You check the door near the painting, it seems to be unlocked, but you instead enter the room with the demon skull coming out of the wall.
It seems a battle happened here.
>>105362
"Are you Marcus?"
if he's dead then pray for him
>>105362
It's time to pray for another poor soul and then check his person.
>>105362
Go take a shower the go for Marcus
>>105362
Check the room for valuables.
>>105362
Poke the bodies and check for anything on them. Then find those tapestries, quickly! They are more valuable then all the spices and silks of not!Morocco.
Okay, so do we or don't we give a fuck about the High Priestess?
>>105376
>>105377
No response. He is dead.
As you pray for him, you notice a black goo substance leaking from his helmet.
>>105392
>>105436
There seems to be nothing in this room besides broken beds, the demon skeleton and the PALADIN. And this hole that leads outside.
It will be dawn soon.
>>105468
Carefully unmask knight.
>>105468
inspect goop without touching it. is it trying to move away or towards you?
>>105468
Have a taste of the ol' goo
Insert rock into vagina.
>>105474
>>105531
>>105558
You unmask the knight... only to regret is immediately. You decide to go to the BATHS to wash off the goo.
>>105607
Just sit in the shower for a moment and contemplate what you just show.....
>>105607
Commence obligatory fan service bath scene
(Also here is the map so far)
>>105607
What the actual fuck.
At least wash yourself up, I suppose.
>>105635
>>105611
You sit under the water and start to think.
What is going on here?
You were kicked from the order, just because you did not agree with the HIGH PRIESTESS' views on your beliefs. Then suddenly, everything is on fire and demons are walking around. Now, something weird is happening to the corpses of the PALADINS.
And MARCUS? Why did that PALADIN ask you to find him? Does he have the key to solve all of this?
You just stand there, under the water for a few minutes. Thinking about everything that has happened in the past few hours.
But you don't have much more than a few minutes, because it seems that one demon found you.
>>105648
Well the demon is blocking the only exit so....... all I think of is pray.
>>105648
Attempt to fight him with your Fire Mace that is now wet from the shower
How about that rock.
>>105648
The demon seems non hostile
>>105660
>>105671
You have no other choice, you must fight the demon, or die.
The creature contorts it's body to enter the small doorway to the BATHS, in unnatural ways.
However, the weight of the beast made the already weak floor crack, thus making you both fall down to the MESS HALL.
You hold onto it to soften the fall.
>>105718
Use one of the previous demon's bones to pierce the other's throat.
>>105718
Follow the blood, the knight seem to have move from his death-stance
>>105718
After embracing the demon and surviving the fall together, develop romantic feelings for each other. Maybe Demons aren't so evil after all, you can make this work
Rolled 3 (1d20)
>>105718
Seduce the demon.
>>105718
Attempt to tickle the beast
>>105759
This must be done. We have the powers of women!
>>105718
Use this opportunity to stab it in the eye.But only if seduction doesn't work.
>>105718
force of fall: snap beasts neck
>>105856
This
>>105911
I would back this, being close enough to do this is a pretty rare opportunity for most, inflict as much damage as you can!
>>105750
>>105759
>>105909
>>106152
You try to use your WOMANLY CHARMS to seduce the beast, however your barely developed body fails to entice it.
The DEMON seems unimpressed.
>>105911
>>105733
This however gives you enough time to MACE in one of it's eyes. You quickly jump off as it agonizes, and grab a bone from the previously fallen demon. It's heavy, but you manage to do it, infuse it with the little holy power you have, and stab it's neck.
Black goo drips out of the wound.
>>106425
The demon's probably gay, do not let your advances failure rate compromise your self-esteem. Pull the bone out and jab wherever you think his crotch would be for good measure.j-jerk
>>106425
Bash his head in.
Afterward, look for sexier robes, the stuff we've got on now looks like a potato sack.
>>106425
Now we can DRINK the demon's BLOOD!
>>106517
While the demon agonizes, you keep stabbing him with your holy power and the demon bone. The damage from the fall probably damaged something, for it cannot do anything but flail helplessly.
>>106436
You give him a final strike, with all the holy power you have, completely smithing the beast.
You feel your HOLY RANK going up as you finally killed a demon yourself (even if he was already weak from the fall).
>>106566
After seeing that PALADIN, you'd rather try to get yourself cleaned from this goo, but the BATHS are destroyed. There might be some clean dresses in the other rooms at the LIVING QUARTERS though.
>>106589
Head back to the EAST LIVING QUARTERS and see if you can find where you keep your clothes, there's a chance some survived the fire and they're already your size.
>>106589
Go to your old room
Their might still be some robes in your size
Pray to your god for protection from the GOO.
>>106589
Find your old room, see if your sexy barbarian tapestries are still there, and see if you still have those robes that accentuate your long legs.
By the Gods, just because you're a priestess doesn't mean you don't like feeling a little sexy!
>>106517
this. make sure to wear the high priestess robes if possible since someone as vain has the high priest will take the most offense from this.
>>106589
did we get any new Priestess techniques?
>>106647
None as far as you can tell, it probably only increased the attack of your holy sparkles. Maybe if you concentrate enough you will be able to do something else.
>>106596
>>106597
>>106631
>>106639
You head out to the LIVING QUARTERS EAST, to find your room. Heading into the MAIN HALL and taking the stairs to the right.
Destruction everywhere as usual, but a strange figure stands in the middle of the room.
>>106654
Greet him and ask if he is responsible for the demons. If so thank him for his help in getting your revenge.
>>106654
RETRIEVE your MACE from beneath your robes and INQUIRE whether the figure is friend or foe.
>>106654
Ask him if he's MARCUS. If not, tell him you'd like to go on by to change into some cleaner robes. Then find your sexy robes and put them on.
>>106667
>>106669
>>106678
You ask the mysterious figure if he is MARCUS. He shrugs, then speaks something in a language you do not recognize.
As he finishes, you blink, and he is gone.
Whoever he was, one thing is certain. He was a PALADIN.
You continue onwards to your old room, on the far side of the LIVING QUARTERS.
This room is relatively untouched.
>>106736
OBSERVE the PAINTING on the wall that has been covered in GOO, than SEARCH the WARDROBE for a fresh pair of CLOTHES.
>>106736
Look at the bottle on the dresser
>>106736
Be sure to grab your secret box with you special item in it
>>106736
Find your tapestries, get your sexy robes on, and look around the room for any other thins we can pawn off, err, use.
>>106748
You check the painting, besides the black goo dripping from it, there seems to be nothing unusual about it.
>>106752
>>106763
>>106778
Unfortunately, your stuff is not here. It is probably locked in the CELLAR, where the iron door in the MAIN HALL is.
You find a new ROBE and put it on.
You also find a BOTTLE with some SUBSTANCE inside of it, and a LETTER.
>>106821
CHECK the CORPSES in the room and try to find the key mentioned in the letter.
>>106821
Does the handwriting look recognizable?
Also, see if we can remember any other way to get into the cellar. Like hell we're giving up on our tapestries!
>>106821
Take bedding and use it as a temporary bag to store stuff. Then place the BOTTLE in the newly formed bag.
>>106835
You weren't close to the other priestesses, so you don't recognize the handwriting.
>>106838
You are still carrying the SACK you got in the KITCHEN. You put the BOTTLE in it.
>>106830
You leave to the LIVING QUARTERS. You examine and pray for the burnt corpses. On the one standing near the BALCONY entrance, you find a HEAVY KEY.
>>106878
Pray especially hard for that corpse, her soul has a lot of blood to wash off. Return to the main hall and try the key on the locked door down to the left that we walked past earlier.
>>106878
Go to the room next your own.
>>106888
You pray for her corpse, and return to the MAIN HALL. You use the HEAVY KEY on the IRON DOOR.
It opens.
You are now in the CELLAR.
>>106932
Your goal is to get revenge on the HIGH ORDER because of their questionable goals, but that doesn't mean you won't pray for their souls after killing them.
>>106878
Check the cellar door with the heavy key.
So...what do we do after everyone's dead?
>>106976
Restart the Order as the new High Priestess but better
>>106976
recreate it with our own flesh and blood;)
>>106991P sure it was the high priestess, everything changed after she took over and that was what caused our issue in the first place, and the chick who burnt down the place was doing so seemingly because high priestess wanted to or alluded to it being necessary or something.
>>106945
Use your sparkle magic to bring light yo the room.
>>106998
>>106957
You think about doing that, but you find a BOX OF MATCHES on the floor. Now you can light up your MACE anytime.
(also reminder of our current inventory)
>>107021
Gonna need to use these keys eventually. Let's backtrack and open up a few locked rooms.
>>107021
Ah, that's what the box was.
I'm at a loss for what to do next.
>>107021
Look around for our sexy robes and tapestries, elven silk looks and feels so classy.
>>107021
Check inside all the boxes and barrels for anything you can use.
>>107021
Taste wine from barrel. Then look for something to store it in.
>>107043
You look around for your stuff, eventually you find it. All your TAPESTRIES are there. You close the box and put it on the back, so you can pick it up later.
You try out a robe you found in one of the boxes. You feel slightly unconfortable in them.
>>107049
>>107055
The barrel seem to be empty. You break it.
There is a SAFE inside of it.
>>107124
use key on safe
>>107124
Use the keys you got on the safe.
>>107131
>>107134
You try the KEY you found with the LETTER at the KITCHEN earlier on the SAFE.
It opens.
There is a BELL inside.
>>107170
Grab the bell, because, hey, free bell.
>>107170
Seems important. Perhaps it's a relic with some sort of holy power or significance? Either way, pocket it.
>>107182
>>107188
As you grab the BELL, you hear a NOISE coming from the MAIN HALL.
You could check it or hide and hope it's nothing.
>>107170
Try using the bell.This can only end well.
>>107212
Hide. You are a priestess, not one of those fancy clerics and their superior combat potential.
>>107212
Climb into the empty barrel and hide.
>>107212
I'm too curious. Let's check it out, but STEALTHILY. Seems like ignoring shit hasn't been working well for us, so might as well see what it is before it tries to push our shit in.
>>107212
Let's try and sneak up on whatever is in the MAIN HALL. If its friendly, we can reveal ourselves.
>>107212
Put out your fire and hide amongst the boxes.
>>107243
>>107223
>>107220
You turn off your MACE and jump inside the broken barrel.
What seems to be a PALADIN shows up on the door. Something looks off about him.
...
You spend the next minutes trying to control your breathing so he won't notice you.
After a while, he leaves, you hear him going upstairs.
>>107271
Note the goo dripping from his helmet, let's hope it's not some sort of symptom of affliction or some abomination of that sort. Follow the trail and see where it leads.
>>107281

Do we really want to play detective? We should at least make sure there's no more valuables in this room first.
>>107271
Let's check out the hole in the kitchen now that we have matches.
>>107301
It's less 'we care about these people' and more 'we don't want this shit to spread because it'd be troublesome.' If nothing else we can try to investigate, get a read on WTF is happening, and then bounce on a sojourn to the nearest town (apparently pretty far away); maybe get some adventurers to handle it for us.
>>107317
Sure, why not.
Rip
>>107281
this, but be sneaky
>>107301
All the other boxes have only personal belongings to the other priestesses, dresses, tapestries, this kind of stuff. Nothing you can use.
>>107281
>>107291
You follow the goo dripping from the PALADIN leading to the BALCONY.
He is just standing there, in front of the TOWERS.
>>108882
Find a way to leave the castle
>>108882
Go check out the giant hole in the kitchen.
>>108899
>>108979
You decide to leave the PALADIN for now and head back into the KITCHEN. With your FIRE MACE, you illuminate the HOLE.
It seems to be some sort of TUNNEL.
>>108947
You can always leave the castle through the front gate, but you won't until you learn what is happening here (and mace in the HIGH PRIESTESS).
>>109094
It looks like the paladin also patrols through here too, check the furnace to see if it has been used recently.
>>109094
On words into the tunnel. Try to limit the sound we make.
>>109094
Send a sparkle magic flare down the hall so we don't just walk straight into someone. Yeah, we'll lose some stealth, but we already have a torch.
>>109227
>>109143
You shoot down a holy sparkle to see if there is something in the tunnel.
Unfortunately, it isn't strong enough to illuminate much.
The tunnel seems to go far down for a bit.
>>109140
The furnace is cold, so it has been off for a while. It seems to be loaded, though. You could try turning it on.
>>109402
Check inside the furnace but with mace at the ready in case furnace demons
>>109402
Turn on furnace.
>>109402
Yolo, turn on that furnace
>>109402
Can we turn on the furnace without being near it? Maybe find a long pole or something. Or throw a rock at the on button?
Look inside it first
Rolled 4, 4 = 8 (2d6)
>>103337
Rolled 3 + 1 (1d6 + 1)
>>109562
>>109549
>>109422
You already checked inside, there is only coal.
>>109449
>>109437
>>109539
You stand away from the furnace's front and use the KEY you found from the CHEF's corpse to turn it on.
The TUNNEL lights up, it seems these pipes also reach other parts of the castle.
>>109607
Onward
>>109607
Can goo paladins climb ladders? Also down the tunnel we go.
>>109641
>>109675
You don't recognize this TUNNEL, as it seems to be hidden. Yet, you go down it. At the end, there is a LADDER. You climb it up.
Oh, this is the ALTAR, at the base of the MAIN TOWER. It seems this TUNNEL was hidden under a TRAPDOOR.
There is a DEMON wearing PALADIN ARMOR staring at the entrance. He is yielding HUGE SHIELDS. He didn't notice you.
>>109769
Sneak past and head upstairs
>>109769
If this an altar, let's see what praying silently with the holy bell and and water would do.
>>109789
>>109913
You quickly climb the stairs, being careful so that the DEMON doesn't notice you.
You are now on the UPPER FLOOR of the MAIN TOWER. This area seems to be completely untouched by the fire. The door there might lead to the HIGH PRIESTESS' ROOM.
Are you ready?
(shit forgot to draw the fire coming out of the pipes)
>>110012
BOSS FIGHT TIME
Let's roll
>>110038
.....how about we...open the door very very cautiously.
Won't we be trapped by the shield demon?
>>110012
Prepare final boss music before entering.
>>110012
Yeah, let's see if we can sneak up to the high priestess. We need the advantage of a surprise attack.
>>110038
>>110045
>>110133
>>110232
You enter the HIGH PRIESTESS ROOM.
Your attempts to do a sneak attack would fail, for the room is considerably large, and the door was too heavy, opening it made a lot of noise. She already knows you're there.
She turns her head, and says:
"...Marcus."
Suddenly, something falls from the ceiling.
It is that PALADIN you saw before! So he was MARCUS after all.
You barely have any time to think, and he already dashes at you, contorting in ways only DEMONS can. What will you do?!
(Boss theme: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PrbZc-J0-Z4 )
>>110296
Block with the mace
Tell the High Priestess that you aren't here to fight and that you only came back to help when you saw the flames
>>110296
Shoot sparkles in his eye holes
>>110296
Jump high to evade, kick him in the back of his head and shoot flashy sparks at him. Then tell the priestess:
"Sup yo"
>>110296
Show him a little leg!
And by that I mean kick him in the balls.
>>110296
...welp. Dat music pretty much spells what we're in for.
DODGE.
Priority is the priestess- this guy's a trained soldier, so I doubt we'd last very long in combat against him. Try to shift your position so that you're closer to the HP, then see if you can blind him, launch some sparks in his eyes. Dunno if that's even useful now, but worth a shot. General idea is to try to stun him then break off combat and run for the HP and cave her skull (or chest, or whatever) in before he recovers enough to run us through.
>>110296
Let's run away. Lead Marcus to the demon downstairs. Have them fight each other as distraction so we can fight the high priestess alone.
>>110308
>>110309
>>110318
>>110319
>>110325
You barely have any time to react, MARCUS' limbs stretch out much farther than a normal human's, and all you can do is duck under him. You lose part of your hair.
You try to make a run for the HIGH PRIESTESS, but you trip over your skirt and fall.
You notice MARCUS isn't 100% human anymore, the first time you saw him he still could reason a little. He seems to be somewhat a DEMON now. This is good for you, as the weakness of DEMONS are that their actions are mostly based on instincts, however their super-human power and weird limbs can prove to be an issue.
He sees you.
>>110402
Stand between him and HP, then jump when he rushes for you
>>110396

>>110402
Aim at his exposed CROTCH and throw your MACE at it.
>>110426
I HIGHLY doubt that'll work, and we'll just have two demons on us. Think we might can play bullfighter? that, or maybe make a smokescreen or or the sort to blind him somehow?
>>110426
They're both demons. They're probably in cahoots. You'll get stomped by that huge thing.
>>110421
do this but out the window
we want the High Priestess for ourselves
>>110421
I like this idea. Gotta play smart since we aren't the strongest person here. Maybe we should mock the high priestess while we're at. Since she's too scared to fight us one on one.
>>110482
