"There is no skeleton inside my body."
>"We know. We have sent agents everywhere attempting to locate this, as it is required for the resurrection. We may ask of your assistance for this."

The real Chee died over a year ago, I am simply a memory. I feel there are other ways of resurrection. I am now fully a ninja wizard doctor, even if my magic isn't varied, and ninja wizard doctors will not play the lich's game, turning to their side for the chance of becoming real! I came to kill them! Destroying my original body will not kill them, their souls are in my constructed body. Yet, destroying it will give me no choice but to see this through to the end. I'm sorry, for those voices I am disobeying.

I am going to kill the liches, even if I never live again.

KSHOOM

"Tom?"
>"Ayep?"
"Are you hungry?"
>"Ayep!"

Dragon or lich, dragon or lich, who should I fight?

Both.

Dragon first for extra soul power, then lich. Make sure his constructs don't get in the way.

>>332096
We can't feed the lich to Tom. Right now we don't even know how to kill a lich since you are its phylactery and we'd have to figure out how to disrupt that part of you to win. Part of why we were in the mage city was to find that out, wasn't it? Never quite got around to it.

Let's fight that dragon.

Dragon. Let's get the hell out, and get the hell on the path to redemption for crimes we never committed in the first place, and maybe a couple we did commit.

Fuck yeah, Ninjwizardoctorpalabold!

>>332096
Did you just destroy your original body?
Well, that's REALLY going to mess up our long-term plans. We weren't going to let you resurrect yourself like that anyway, but we kinda needed your body no matter what method we wanted to use.

Eat the skeleton dragon first, then the constructs, then the lich.

>>332096
TOM: EAT FUCKING EVERYTHING

D'awww Chee, we love you even if you disobey us.

>>332096
Hooray, dumb plans involving body thwarted.
Draaagon.

i'm proud of you chee. on choices like that we can only advise. no need to apologize for doing what you think is right, even if we disagree with you. now lets go explode an undead dragon.

>>332105
>needed your body no matter what method we wanted to use
Chee seems to think otherwise, and you're no mage, Advisor. Know your station.

It does seem rash to take out the body, but.. it seems to be part of the plan of the liches, and is more important to destroy it than my own secondary wishes! Perhaps the second lich has the skeleton, and is seeking my flesh? It's a long shot, but destroying my body is what my gut told me to do. I hope it wasn't a mistake.

The dragon is going down first! It hardly even tries to fly away before Tom catches up. That doesn't seem right, such a dragon should be more powerful? It's like it's giving up.

A dragon's soul feels odd. I'll need to figure out how it helps me later, but for now, I have to find the lich. It's true, I'm not sure how this would work. I mean, I could kill him, but he'll just get resurrected through me. I don't know how. Tom?

Yep! This is the breakdown of the souls. First tier below Chee herself is me and the liches. We got barriers between each other to prevent me from just going and eating up the liches. No idea how to break the barrier! And of course, inside me, are the souls for talent and the souls for advice, you guys.

Lich King seems pretty crazy to come up with this stuff for a little kobold!

I won't know, but if I can kill him, perhaps it takes some time to resurrect, and any time without getting hunted like this will be nice!

The constructs.. aren't doing anything. They're just watching. They have no souls, and it seems like the lich isn't having them do anything. I can get to the top of the tower without trouble, like this.

>"So, you've done it, Chee. You've destroyed your body. I hoped that you would fulfill your own wish at the cost of fulfilling mine, as well. There is no point in fighting. If I kill you, I will die. If you kill me, I will resurrect. But the balance of power is thrown off. I can no longer become the new Lich King, because I cannot switch phylacteries anymore. This was my last hope, no other method of phylactery moving is within my power. I hoped to make up for this shortcoming with cunning and raw necromantic power. I have failed, and do not wish to fight a losing, pointless battle with you or the other liches."

"So what will you do now? Terrorize the countryside? Give up and sit here forever, king of nothing?"

If only we had more love potions!

Well then the answer is to ride the dragon to the ground. Clearly.

>>332150
Ask him what his ambitions were. Why did he want to become lich king? Just power? You can afford to be friendly now.

>>332150
"Hey, you're a lich. It's not like you're going to run out of time to research a new magical solution to this problem. And I certainly have no plans to get destroyed any time soon, so your phylactery will be fine with me."

your obsession is what led to your downfall. you wanted it so badly you didn't think straight. an army of skeletons could till thousands of acres of land and fed nations, they would of all become to see you in a positive light. perhaps so much so that you could even got the paladins to help take out your rival. heck, if you were a nice guy even i would of helped you. but you weren't, so i didn't.

Tom, does that dragon soul taste as mind-meltingly delicious as the other one's?

>>332150
Then tell him to give up and help us destroy the other Liches, or at least his rival. Can he break the barrier inside you keeping Tom away from the lich souls? Can he teach you magic of any sort? If he cannot do any of that, then he should teleport us back until we can deal with this stalemate on our own. But rest assured, we will return and end his existence one day.

OH OH OH

Also punch him in the face because his constructs desecrated your friends' bodies and almost killed Fraga.

>>332150
"I am curious. Why did you decide to become a lich in the first place? Beyond simply avoiding death, I mean.
Was it the power? The joy of experimenting? Something else?

...

I don't intend to kill you. I intend to absorb you, and with your aid I will defeat your rival and the lich king."

Ask questions then kill him anyway for shits and giggles.

Tom feels like he's doing a happy jig inside me. It's actually a little uncomfortable.

"Why did you want to be the lich king?"

>"The current is insane. It feels like every year, his priorities change. It has been chaos for other liches for decades, I would simply keep things more orderly. I did not have ambitions to take over the world, or anything of the sort.

"What now then, Lich? Terrorize the countryside, give up and sit here, king of nothing?"

>"No, only death. If you kill me, I do not have the heart to resurrect. You have gotten lucky with me, the other lich does not know when he's been defeated. I said if you killed me, I would resurrect. That was assuming I had anything to stay for. I do not, anymore, and so you may kill me if you wish, and I will let my soul rot and disappear from within you. That is very depressing, but perhaps I can live on through you. I will break the barrier between Tom and I, and he may devour me. From there I will give you great necromantic power, and you may do as you will, giving my power your purpose. It may sound evil, but it is not as though it must be. Many subjects of mine willingly had their bodies reanimated to serve beyond death."

>>332173
Walk up and hug him
"It's alright, I know. Magic is a tool that's neither good nor evil, and I'll show that to the world. I'll defeat your rival and the lich king, and perhaps when this is over I can manifest you again."

"Had you used different methods of getting me here, you may have been able to persuade me to help you. Unfortunately, you chose poorly, and this is where you ended up. Don't you just love karma?"

>>332173
If he willingly gives his soul to us, we should take it.

...I just realized that if he just lost the battle to become the Lich King, then the other lich will attain that title. Will that make them more powerful? Will they automatically gain the ability to lead the other liches to do stuff? What would they do, in that case? We should ask that, to know what to expect.

Also ask if there's any chance that you could become the Lich King, and make sure necromancy could never be used for evil.

Hug Necromancer.

While doing so, slowly thrust your healing-powered swordstaff into his heart.

It would be so cool.

Chee will need all the power she can get to defeat the other lich. Take his soul and thank him for it. Ask him how the other lich's barrier can be brought down so he himself cannot be resurrected. Also a map or way to get back to shabin would be good.

>>332180
No see there are three.
Lich King the Mad, who built Chee for the lulz.
Emobird, who we are speaking to.
Whoever Necrobold works for.

Agree on asking about becoming King though.

>>332180
no, the currant lich king would still need to be beaten.

>>332186
Well sure, but after that? I'm just wondering if Chee can *ever* become the Lich King as she is now, or if we'll have to resurrect her before going through whatever stuff is needed to become a lich or whatever.

>>332198
We could always just become a god.

"Will the other lich become lich king? And, could I be lich king?"

>The other lich has a clearer shot, as the phylactery is no longer shared, though I am out of the way anyway. However, he must still overthrow the current king, and that is no easy feat. The Lich King has toyed with us more than fought us. It is possible to be Lich King yourself, but you should not aim so high as you are, as attempting to become a lich may be complicated for the likes of you.

"If you acted differently, I may have helped you, but now..."

>"I doubt it would be different. We will never know for certain. I should be sorry for your friends I have injured or killed. But I am not, my ambitions were greater than they, as cruel as it may sound. I do not have regrets. Show the other lich my power, and give the King regret at making his creation that fought back."

This is not what I had in mind, but the first lich is gone, and I have his power. Most of his creations are crumbling, but I do sense some stable ones independent of his power, I'll ask them about maps and maybe other things. I should go back to the mages tower and study different kinds of magic eventually as well. I'll tell Shabin and Tae of course where I am at, and we'll decide a meeting place later. But for now, I have to get my bearings! Maybe I can teleport back, maybe I can get a dragon to ride on.

But now, I've taken over this tower, and I'm not going to let it go to waste.

Base of operations! Woooo...

Soooooooooo are we gonna fight fire with fire? Necromancy vs Necromancy?

>>332210
You've got a lot of work here.
You have his knowledge, so set about cleaning up the various magic things that would detect as evil. Besides the minions, I mean.

Find out if there are any settlements nearby. If there are then craft minions and send them to inform people of the change in management.

I wonder if white necromancy is a thing. There must be some benign uses at least, but if not we'll just have to try and not be overly vile.

>>332217
Zombies can destroy zombies well enough but it sounds like a messy affair. We should see if we can subvert necromancy to anti-necromantic ends.

>>332227
farming. an army of skeletons can work thousands of acres of land without rest

>>332210
We need to clean this place up, yeah. Also make it perfectly clear to your constructs that they are not allowed to attack anyone on their own under any circumstances. They will flee before any hostility unless they are under your supervision.

Start finding books and practicing what stuff you can do with the resources on-hand. See if you can manipulate your souls to put them into constructs.

we should talk to the stable constructs. if the litch was telling the truth about many of them agreeing to serve beyond death they may take issue with you killing there old boss. also, maybe redecorate.

Oh yeah, redecorate the halls with boughs of ho-

I mean, some nice bright wallpapers for start.

>>332210
Wooo, you got your very own doom tower. Set up some guards and traps and stuff before you leave to make sure nobody loots the place while you're out.

yessss

You know, he created an item that teleported you here. Using his power, you should be able to teleport back, grab your friends, and then bring your friends and yourself to the tower. Then do the same with the others still in the village. This place is probably much more secure then their old home, and there will be paladins looking for what happened to their missing champion. Relocating everyone here might let them develop in a more peaceful area.
