The Outsider attempted to blow a I was riding forward leisurely, watching the Outsider in my Legion was in full devil mode, oversized and moving like a four-winged, tail-lashing killing machine, Sama and Briggs were basically The Dragon-Wielders were just going green watching them go. Yep, that’s two Sages going to town like that; you couldn’t even see them for how much the multi-colored Flames from their Weapons were surrounding them. They were closing in on the Outsider, who was receiving an…-

It wasn’t like the Outsider was subtle. He was pulling in negative energy and all the Death Qi he could to himself, creating a black whirlpool in the sky which turned and began to reach right in our direction in a howling vortex, a congratulatory gift for ridding him of the annoyances of the native undead here. There were only two light-offs from the undead going up in sacrifice to Aru, but that was still enough for a handful of elite warriors to get laenwork Weapons from them. One of them was The…

Sending out word for muscle didn’t take much. /tellepathy is good at that. From there, it was just going out and fetching them. It wasn’t that I didn’t think I could take these people, it was that I couldn’t corral them if they dispersed. The Buddhists had naturally all tried to stay together, because they were much stronger when they did. Daoists, not so much. At the same time, there were a lot of people eager for this fight. The more powerful Dragon-wielders, Tomb Clansmen happy to take on…

I was not the one who killed the most undead the fastest. Commander Haru’Ara and Briggs lifted up the anchor rods of my nice big thousand-foot And then, the two lads began to race ahead. It was a classic Firewall Sweep, and the undead had no way to deal with it or them, nor did the Cultivators who were looking on. The boys chose the arc closest to the Dome, since it had the most undead, and ran on ahead of us as the aghast Cultivators still standing guard could only watch, Briggs snickering as he ran…

=================== My a-Mastery-Tier-a-Day-Keeps-the-Levels-Away advances continued, moving from Perception to Stealth +1’s per day, topping out at Five like normal, moving onto the next in an order I could vaguely influence. For instance, my Diplomacy, Sense Motive, and Intimidate Tiers had all been maxed out before the much more combat-applicable Perception and Stealth. Why? Because at this stage of the game, growing my Allegiance and influence was actually of primary importance, and even if I…

I wasn’t in a great hurry. I was getting off two sets of I just didn’t get any ki from those Rep Counts, so it was basically finding a crowd of undead, drop a rep count spell on top of them, and then The Chinese and Tomb Clans came in, and ranged attack work started from their thousand-foot safe area. The undead pressed in, burned up as the Purgers pulled back, were blown apart as they tried to pass the If they ran out of undead, I could just move the Oh, the undead wanted to fight back. They…

=================== Mother Morningfire was, of course, insistent on being dashing in her fighting, with a poofy-sleeved white shirt, plumed hat, thigh-highs, and a mithral Rapier that occasionally sparked with lightning. Sorceress, cleaned up instantly and mended everything quickly. She had done her military service, however, and she did know how to fight undead; she simply insisted on looking good while she did it, and of course the rest of the family were not allowed to look much worse, even Highsun and…

============================================== I just put my hand on the erinyes’ head, and blew a I was a good Healer, and had been using puh-lenty of Healing magic killing undead, had CL boosts and Feats, etc. Her mashed nose, shattered chin, broken teeth, and crushed cheekbones reinflated back to an almost normal appearance. Her burning hellfire eyes snapped open in shock at feeling healing magic running through her, especially tinged with holiness that wasn’t burning her. Master Fred had her…

I flicked up the Stats listing, and they read down it slowly, and pursed their lips. “Indeed.” They drew out Sleipner’s Alicorn, pulled out “Well, I was thinking I could just lock down the area, and you could show up and beat the ever-loving shit out of the bitch.” The smile that rose was almost sunny. “Not the most efficient, but such a plan will be very satisfying, my Lady!” they agreed. “How about we drop you off on the west side of the city, and you drive Sleipner on a Ward Ride to…

“I am probably the most powerful mortal spellcaster on the planet by a fair margin,” I informed them calmly. “Unlike this world, I come from a place with a fully developed magical tradition, and intensely specific knowledge on how to fight the undead. Releasing this knowledge here has allowed the people to start making immediate headway against the Shroud, and to start preparing for the world without it.” Two sets of golden eyes were glowing as they stared at me. “My daughter is the most…
