Davin: Your next wish confers upon you the Honest Trait, a +1 on Cha, and the leadership feat. "What do you want to know? The Tome helps you make sure that you word your wishes correctly, that is why I suggested it as your first wish. You are now on your third and final wish it won't be very helpful." The man says his voice a bit tinny as it bounces in his helmet first.
Davin: "But what kind of hero will you be and how will you use your abilities? I have a person you should find and free once you get to New Beginnings, though he a bit of a beast. He is buried in front of the center statue behind the Guardians. Not one of my allies, a wild card like you. You will grow together and we will see what destiny you bring with you."
It seems like he reads your mind and gives you an answer, "Your luck or wisdom allowed for your extra wishes. You saw through the ploy we spin for most applicants. The wishes are literally the 9th level spell written for pathfinder rules in dungeons and dragons. Where our stories and magic existed before spun on Earth. Arcanium is old compared to Earth. Earth is the 345th world that we have collected from. The first wish is protected and the other two are as the spell is written. If you want my advice use your third wish and ask for the Tome of Wish Making. A tome created by the high priest Jellena Darkling of the goddess of death. Or call her to help with wish making from her prime." "Wouldn't Mat Cauthon's ability be best, you already had a part of it on Earth. Yup you are one lucky bastard." He happily relays.
He pulls out several boxes from the folds of his belt. Tapping each of them they fold out to become coaches. Two hovering or flying coaches. He gets into one of them and his subordinates get into another one. His other subordinates that don't fit into the coach take dire bats that Lord Wolfe had provided from the start. No sign of the vampires. They head off before the rest of you since they will be taking the far sides, North and East. They plan to fly under the castle and approach that way.
He shakes his head but points to the chairs, "Have a seat and I will explain what I know. I can say it again later if need be. Osirus is Pride, no one else is in his castle. Though through one way or another he has created clones, replication, or doppelganger of himself. The last time, 4 years ago, we attacked and there was nearly a thousand of him. Though with more replications the weaker they become. At the same time as we defeat his replications he will get stronger. This is why we need an army to defeat him. A group of soldiers should be able to tie up and capture one replication easily enough. If we time it correctly, we should be able to kill him with one fell swoop but that requires a lot of man power. His replications have not cast spells in the past, just physical copies of a nephalim. Which is powerful in itself. They resist cold and fire. Everyone needs a magical weapon. If you find one casting magic call myself or one of the Night Hawks to deal with it. Each of them will have a weakness but to Osiruis credit he has changed this with every replication. Find it, use it, and disable them. So my suggestion is you pair off and lead a large squad of soldiers each. That should match my subordinates and our squads. Yes we will be using skeletons as fodder. They travel so much better than any other soldiers. I will attack from the North, my subordinates from the East, which leaves you the West and the South. Any questions?"
"Yes, and through my years many of the Dark Souls have been vanquished. The Overlord and his three generals are the only ones able to withstand my might. They always escape." He states with regret. "Excellent! Do you have a war room setup or shall I finish whipping one up?" He waits for an answer and likely it being the former he states, "Okay bring your forces leaders here in an hour." ---- About an hour passes and entering into the Blue Library it looks very different. There are schematics on Osirus himself, pointing out theory. There are maps of a castle of previous deployment and there is a hologram of the castle with new plans. He looks at your group of Night Hawks and asks, "Each of you will be leading a party then, I was expecting more?
"I would not force my subordinates, let alone my subjects, to fast for so long. I have reserves of blood that I came prepared with. They are doing just fine. " He states with the sound of loop holes. "Your religion is not hostile to me. I am after all a follower of the Sovereign Host. Though some of my subjects may come into conflict due to their present state of existence. Yes I know that euphemism well. Truth be told I want to learn the secrets of Osirius. Alas he is so prideful I would have to take it by force. Though as you work your way to defeat him, I may have the time to learn. I have learned many ways for the last couple of decades here in Arcanium. Also what I know about Osirius you will need to attack from multiple sides. Though he is one, he is legion. Don't ask me how, for that is part of what I want to learn." He states truthfully and plainly.
He taps his helmet and the visor rises to reveal a very handsome face, the scars seem to add to his features rather than distract. The features are angelic, golden discs for eyes, coppery red hair and skin that looks flawless save for the scars. Speaking of the scars, from the side of the nose up to the corresponding temple on either side. Also on the right side of his chin and jawline up to his ear are four ragged scars. He then kneels and takes Jellena's hand. Giving it a gentle kiss on the back of her hand. Releasing it and standing once more he looks to Joe. "No worries, I have been enjoying your library. Yes very adequate. Varian is with my other subordinates in the adjoining parlor. Now I can produce several dire bats to help with your flying issues. I have six of them now and could summon more. My only requirement of using my mounts is that you take me with you on the Raid of Osirus's Castle." He says nonchalantly. Even the requirement has no emphasis. You can see on the tables are opened books and every 20 seconds all of the books turn a page. |
