Because we are the voices of the abyss and you kind sir have been chosen for great evil or great good.

>>746295 Hopefully Great evil.

Huh? Because of our accursed knowledge granted by the dark powers of the ether. Duh. Beware our might, if you annoy us we'll tell you to do stupid things and deliberately frustrate you for our amusement.

That may not be true. We have access to an immensely vast pull of knowledge, but that doesn't mean we specific know all or will be able to use that knowledge productively. Even more problematic, we don't have information about your situation and maybe even your entiry world.
At times our sources can be useful, but our most important function is of guide. Think of us as confidants, people to discuss with that can't act behind your back.

He has been absent as of late, and I don't know where he could have gone. 2: I doubt any succubi would give me so much as a glance. 3: Imps are not classified by Sin, I'll show you a diagram later. 4: My purpose is to scout out locations and targets for Greater Demons, My small stature makes me hard to hit, and my large wings help me get a bird's eye view of things. 5: I wish to become a leader, and overthrow a strict social caste that only those at the top enjoy. What Is preventing me is LORD BAPHOMET. We''ll get back to him later. 6: No, you are a voice in my head, your origin is from this orb, and your position is of no consequence to me at this time.

Dedrin: Oh, right, our king. Well, Here, I drew a picture of him. This is Lord Baphomet, our current King. He took the throne a couple years back and has been ruling us with an iron fist ever since. Here in Hell, to be king, you either have the title passed to you, or you take it by force or slight.

He’s good at both of those things.

Rumor has is that he can shape-shift (a trait that if any other demon exhibits, he ritualistically sacrifices them and takes the rest of their powers and adds it to his own abilities, killing the other poor soul in the process.) and that he’s got a writhing mass of snakes instead of genitals. I don’t think I’ll ask him that if I got the chance. He has feathery wings, long claws, and a whiplike tail. He’s also cold, calculating, fond of cruel and unusual punishment for those on his bad side, and has just a general disdain for everybody. We all hate him, but those who try to kill him mysteriously vanish. He’s fear throughout all of Hell, and His name usually comes as a harbinger to bad news. His policies are strict, and he’s over-all not a fun guy.

Well, he used to be in the buisness of making deals, real powerful buisness type guy, then Baphomet came to power and shut down the trade lines with the Surface, and he had no one to make deals with. His soul feed dried up, and lost everything. He used to be a great leader, and now look at him. His spark of life is gone, as is everything else.

Sounds like a fine recruit for the revolution. If we succeed, he gets to trade with the surface. If we fail he might get to die a most painful death. Its a win-win either way. Remember Dedrin, its important not to disciss such matters out loud. Maybe give us, the orb, to people so that we may relay info?

We'll leave you alone for now, tell us when you need help.

Huh. That's a new name. Sounds like an interesting lady.

Also, right, Emergency Time Dilation. Sooo...okay, in SOME realms, we sorta kinda can do a... thing. You know how sometimes when something really really bad's about to happen to you like you're about to get shot or the sort, time seems to slow down so you can really suck in how boned you are?
We, in some planes, can sorta kinda do that only yanked up to eleven. If bad bad shit's about to go down, we can usually crunch out a plan in to get you out of it provided we have half a decent knowledge of the situation and the planar mechanics, and do it almost before you can blink.

Basically, as an example, say someone starts casting a spell at you. *If* we're really on the ball (no pun intended), we can probably figure out what spell they're using, how to stop it, and how to get you close enough to punch them in the taint all between the second and third syllable.

Like I said, that's on some planes, though. Not all of them. Dunno about this one yet.

Spin the roulette wheel on his chest! You might win a prize!

You mean he never mentioned a curse aside from his immortality, which you explicitly called a curse?

FYI he also said that his curse was put on him because of something he did, and that Baphomet cut off contact with the Surface in order to prevent a "scary monster" from getting down here, which Hangman was responsible for attracting the attention of or releasing or whatever. He also said that he knew Baphomet personally.

Do you actually have any solid evidence that Baphomet is a bad person?

Has what happened to us before? Going into other people's heads without warning? Yeah, actually. It's not an everyday event, but it's not uncommon.

Like I said. Personal reasons. Suffice to say, I cannot polymorph. That would render the whole "amassing an army" thing completely pointless, as I could just shapeshift my way in or through the palace.

He don't wanna talk about it, let's not, man. I know we're usually big on matchmaking or romance, but maybe we can hold off on it for a bit this go-around.

Anywho, sorry for riling you up- I can imagine this ain't exactly easy on the ol' psyche. And yeah, dude sounds... Paranoid Douchebag Tyrant sounds apt, yeah. Aaaaanywho.

We'll keep an eye on anything potentially out of sorts, you do you for now.

Also dude, I'm sorry, but we will fuck with you on occasion. We're a sentient crystal ball housing a mass of gestalt thoughts. We can't exactly hit the club on Friday nights- the only ways we can reliably get our kicks are by occasionally messing with other people (harmlessly, mind!) via quips and jokes, and by matchmaking.

A lot of matchmaking.

...No seriously we love that shit dude you have NO idea

But yeah, we got your back when it comes right down to it. Now lesse what this Baroness looks like...

She shifts some papers.

That's an impossibility, bro. Sometimes we need to look to the past in order to help make a better future. For example, any sort of combat training or special skills you learned in the past will help you in your upcoming conflict with Baphomet. On that note, what exactly can you do? Any abilities or combat abilities you have that we should know about?

Dedrin: She has no family whatsoever. Sometimes I think she gets lonely, but that's none of my concern. As for combat training, I am well versed in most weapons, though I prefer my well-worn dirk to anything else. I keep it cruelly sharpened, as you can no doubt tell from Hangman's noose. If worst comes to worst, nature has provided me with the most rudimentary weapons, tooth and nail. Hand to hand combat happens to be what I am best at, being trained by a soldier imp...
...or perhaps I've said to much.

I figure you should get an upgrade and break it in. Did you know that there's this delightfully strange cestus that delivers a lightning bolt's worth of electricity in every punch, yet can be constructed from rudimentary junk and wires? There's also a flail you can make from a wooden ball and some frayed ropes. The list of stuff I've learned about goes on, if you give us a list of your inventory and the local junk we might find a weapon recipe for you to play with.

>>747242
>or perhaps I've said to much.
don't see how but if you don't wish to talk about it I won't push.

But if I can make an observation, Off the little we've seen is it safe to say that you're a career solder, with few friends, and little to no influence who has a grudge against the current ruler for "reasons" and you are half decent in a fight? Because Unless I messed something, while not the worst starting point we're going to have a lot of work to get you anywhere to be in a position to take out Bappy(Baphomet) and even more to be in a position to take over after Bappy bites it.

Oh that reminds me, Hangman said something about the reason he was cursed because he fucked up and something about breaking a law. Anyway idea what he meant by that. He also said something about his fuck up, as in he made a bad deal that almost let something in, something that scared the shit out of everyone to the point where Bappy cut everyone's connections to the surface. You hear anything about that?

Because the easiest way to move up in the world is to make friends and if you're not afraid to piss a lot of people off figuring out what had everyone so scared and how to use it to get you power might be a good way of shaking things up down here.

The central fire has gone out, as to be expected when left unfueled for this amount of time. I can feel the breeze to my back as I enter, and i cannot help but feel the slighted sense of dread as I enter my own lodging. I watch my footing in case of a tripwire.

Pick up a few rocks and throw them in, see what happens.

restart the fire so you can actually see.

Oh, Hangman! He was okay after I kicked him, well, after I realigned his neck. Immortality can be useful. We managed to smooth things out after I got him moving again, I simply explained that my dugout was a hidden location, and his silhouette didn't match up to the people who knew of its location. He explained that he saw me fly over here, meaning I have to be more careful if I want to keep this place a secret to the rest of Hell.

well, not in the pits, it was bound by green chains, i think someone figure out how to make solid Lazarus and forged chains from it. could be why they built there, they knew if the Lazarus could be harnessed it could make powerful things.

Hangman: Solidified Lazarus? Impossible. Th' stuffs so toxic it'll melt through anything.

...

Say...

There's an idea...

>>778216
Please do not jump into a lazarus pit.

You already have a severe death wish, do you WANT to be chained up in pure Lazarus and stuffed in a random hole in the ground?

>>778216
what are the sides of the pits that hold the lazarus made of? that apparently isn't melting despite being in direct contact with the stuff.

>>778282
Probably held in place away from the sides with gravity-manipulation. Which would explain the chains - the chains aren't made of Lazarus, the chains are psychic constructs containing Lazarus, possibly as a power source or a last resort when prisoners are released from their chains. All that pure acid, forced and pressurized to the point of solidity, would surely-

... This is a theory, Hangman. Maybe this stuff just sends you to another dimension filled with chains and darkness. Please do not touch death stuff.

That particular voice is crazy. Well, crazier than normal. Listen sparingly.

Anyway, let's just leave that sludge alone for now and get back to brainstorming. Anyone good for a recap of objectives/what we need to figure out, and what we know?

he's gonna jump into a Lazarus Pit, ether die or something horrible happens.

Hangman: Don't you get it? I've been tryin' ta off m'self to get rid o' you losers. Goin with me'll be fine. That's just how the cookie crumbles, Bub. Sic Semper Tyrannis and all that jazz.

Your hand is back. Like, immediately so.

This strikes me as a bad idea, because this implies you regenerate fast enough from this stuff that jumping in there is just going to result in the endless pain of dissolving and reconstituting until your demon buddy gets here to fish you, and by extension us, back out of the big green mistake-were-made wading pool.

>>785368
Did we forget to mention that your buddy Dedrin can hear us too? So if you kill us, then we can't talk to Dedrin anymore. What if he needs our help, but we can't help him anymore because you selfishly killed us with you?

Hello again giant demonic nuclear-chained beast.

Something happened on our end. If you tell us what's happening to that indicator, we might deduce a correlation.

Does escaping involve possessing someone who still wants to live? Because this idiot wants to die.

Hangman: I was... Betrayed? Betrayed into summoning an ancient evil, yes I remember now. That Evil is bound to the Lazarus, cursed similarly to me, he has forgotten who he was, but now He remembers. Oh god... This is all my fault...

Yeah, pretty much. Now do something about it. Look around, see if you can spot a mental representation of chains. You'll need to bind the beast and begin negotiations.
