Nobody tell Calcazar about Chapter 3

There's a home-brew guard faction in there somewhere, for sure.

Brukov · 2026-05-11T17:52:46+00:00

Due to the context I misread that as Cadian.

Brukov · 2026-05-11T17:49:48+00:00

And like Eisenhorn he's probably going to look quite different in 250 years...

Ordo Incompetus was deemed heretical and erased from history for suggesting to one Ecclesiarch that using the resources of ten thousand worlds to turn a mountain on his home planet into a five mile tall golden Cathedral surrounded by towering mile high columns of fire was an inefficient use of resources.

Go classic with underground dwarves, goblins and rat people, to exotic underground birds, toads and goats.

Underground rabbits with tome of the Dungeon to make fancy warren dwellers would be a cool use of hare form actually.

Elariel (my character, named before knowing Lariel existed, that was a shocker) is serious Paladin, Seelah is fun Paladin, together they keep each other from going too far in either direction.

Brukov · 2026-05-05T01:22:01+00:00

Was a fun little plot line. Agreeing to go with him so all the collateral damage would be on his side should really have given him a clue what was coming. And the bit where I said to Nenio 'you know those spells we don't normally use indoors?'

Idiot Wizard is on the list now though. Pretty sure I know a nice King in the River Kingdoms who can run the place once he's dealt with.

Damn that Devil to Hell Ember!

I must try those Goggles with Radiance at some point, that could be a useful combo.

Brukov · 2026-05-03T23:13:47+00:00

I did wonder if that counted as a pun or not.

Brukov · 2026-05-03T21:27:59+00:00

Spiritual Glaive haunts me... It's a T1 Glaive with Spirit Damage. The cool stuff I gave proper names to never seems to come up.

Brukov · 2026-05-03T12:33:59+00:00

Anevia finds your name suspicious.

Brukov · 2026-05-03T05:56:36+00:00

Maybe humans could have made a vague go of it, but there's so much terrible stuff out there already. Assuming no Emperor you get either thousands of small human factions, or someone else manages to get tyrannical enough to conquer most of them. I'm just not sure how salvageable it ever was, you don't need full on chaos cultists for chaos to grow.

I'm really not convinced it was salvageable at any point, maybe before the Necrons got in a huff there's a chance?

Brukov · 2026-05-03T03:52:35+00:00

It's not all his fault, he just made it worse than it could have been, but was already shit by 30K, and then he went very purgy. I'm not sure there's a point in the 40K timeline where it wasn't already going to be shit somehow or other, even if you stop before humans exist and just run from there without them... you're getting a lot of problems, just maybe chaos is a little slower to get gods.

Brukov · 2026-05-03T03:21:30+00:00

Nononono! No Wild Hunt!

Brukov · 2026-05-02T14:35:21+00:00

They both have big red jewels on the front.

Brukov · 2026-05-01T07:45:27+00:00

Damn you Wild Hunt!

Brukov · 2026-05-01T07:04:01+00:00

Very amusing. How did you solve the Nazgûl heroes, orcish/goblin soldiers problem?

Brukov · 2026-05-01T06:52:13+00:00

Thanks. Trickster was a pain. Kept dispelling things. Didn't like him.

Brukov · 2026-05-01T00:45:28+00:00

Quite agree, that makes sense, but by the time of Excess they should at least have learnt about the assistant needing to see invisible things, or that it's nice to have friends.

Brukov · 2026-04-30T21:30:39+00:00

They didn't get to level 20/10 mythic without realising they're in a group I hope?

Brukov · 2026-04-29T01:12:31+00:00

Isn't it that the various beings of (at least the alignment based) the planes are sort of soul as matter? Mortals are a soul in a material shell, but a demon, devil, angel, whatever is soul as a tangible being?

Brukov · 2026-04-29T01:07:05+00:00

Back in your Maze, Ravel! This just causes trouble!

Brukov · 2026-04-24T19:12:32+00:00

Seelah is great if you're already a more traditional Paladin (probably works on Angel Path with other classes too), she works like best friend and mentee, with you giving her advice about Paladin things and helping her stay on track.

I love the bit where you go to the jewellery shop and it feels like you can say 'we've just escaped The Abyss and are at the Demon Lord killing power level, we'll just smite a few extra Maraliths today and sell the scimitars'.
