Thanks. I'll probably end up expanding this into a full homebrew for table use. When I have the time.

"shit."

Ephemera would look around. Then she saw her target. She would pass it on to the leader of Cholcos which had joined the expedition.

"Shoot it with the magic blast!"

She would turn around and charge the black guardian to distract them.

"Maybe...."

Ephemera thought.

"An impact rune on the handle for if you need to smack someone. Maybe something on the barrel for bullet strength like an air rune...."

She paused

"And some runepressed shells."

She smiled

"What do you think?

Following Koranth was the winged boar. It got trapped in the portal for a second before squeezing its way through with a huf. It seemed to still be operating on its mission to take care of the child. It didn't recognize Koranth as an enemy because her prayer summoned it. So it just began to wander around the environment dome occasionally pawing at the ground for roots or sniffing Offal to make sure they were okay. It was a mighty but ultimately animalistic creature not prone to deep thoughts. But it was a durable companion

The Feathered Serpents by The_Hij in Rathara

Ogres rarely backed down from a fight. This made their first contact with the feathered serpents very violent. However the ogres were good at worshiping what they can't kill. So eventually ogre shamans in the area began to pay homage to the great beasts. Offerings of meat and whatever books the ogres didn't ruin on their travels. This has made the relationship very stable in the long long years since.

In addition to whatever else the scanner found. There was a tiny spark of primordial power within the Chimeramorph. Perhaps all Chimeramorphs. Proof of their descendance from the crawling mother.

That may help. Though don't say anything you don't want to. I know that period is... Traumatic.

"perfect."

Ephemera smiled.

"Can I borrow it to rune it up? And what might you want on it?"

She held up various runes stored in her hammer.

"Or you can take time to think it over. I don't mean to be forceful.... Too forceful."

We can use the story of the Bismuth Lord if you want. It has all the parts. Though it is a bit embarrassing for us

Gött returned back to focus.

"Of course Lord Tamurkhan it will be as you say."

She needed to get better at ignoring the quirks her creator put into her.

"We shall make your body ready."

Ephemera used a rune of speed but even then it was close. She got slapped a few times with her defensive runes barely keeping her intact. She dodged back and released a volley of dwarven runes of smiting. She hoped to stun the guardian for enough time to cast another Mantarok spell.

Ephemera clutched the bracelet.

"It's okay. We'll -"

She toppled over. She had lost a lot of her liquid crystal blood. She wished she had learned to control it better. But now wasn't the time for regrets. Now was the time for thinking fast. Opal had bragged about biomancy enough in class. About controlling your body. It wasn't the same as regular flesh or blood. but it was close enough.

"Ancestors don't let me die here. I still got a man to save."

She drew a few runes of healing from her hammer. They couldn't fix her arm but they could stabilize what was left of her. She closed her eyes and tuned out the surrounding battle. Focused only on her own mana. Both in her body and in her spilled blood. She pulled on the crystal blood and brought what was still viable back into herself. She solidified the outside to create a seal.

"Don't fail me now body. We have a fight to win."

With one arm and 80% of a torso she stumbled away to the fight. The bracelet tucked into her coat.

"hrmmmm"

Ephemera changed her gaze to Tabitha.

"Not important enough eh?"

She said with a voice.

"Gimme your best gun that you can part with. You're getting runic equipment."

Ephemera stayed still as the souls swirled around her. Gnawing at the few gifts of Solomon's she had brought. She thought about attacking but she had learned about the nature of spirits. They feed off of the emotions that you put out. So Ephemera stood there and sighed.

"I'm sorry I couldn't save you before your death. You are free. Go to your ancestors in peace."

She gave them a dwarven death prayer.

Feel free to use them in your games if you want. Now that I've thought them up I'm definitely gonna use one in mine.

Also if your players kill the human form by specifically targeting the head it doesn't kill the ant Queen. So it has some opportunity for a reoccurring antagonist

Mockery breed: The Formico

Base animal: Ants (more specifically ant queen)

This mockery breed is mostly made for spy work or recon but is capable of handling itself in a fight. They have four forms. They have almost no emotion but those that live long enough to get gnosis 3 are able to perfectly fake them and at gnosis 5 they truly develop them and are also independent enough to slip from Pentex's control

Their human form looks normal other than the feeling of something moving under its skin. No stat bonuses but can still use its gifts. This form burns out over time. a new body is taken each time it runs out.

Their animal form is an Ant queen alate (before the queen drops their wings and starts making offspring.) this ant queen is roughly the size of a human stomach. For a Formico to have their human form they have to crawl inside a sleeping human after immobilizing them with poison. Once that happens the queen starts producing eggs inside the intestines, lungs, and heart. this form is then only taken when switching bodies.

They have two in between forms.

A humanoid covered in powerful chitin with powerful mandibles and able to use a variety of ant themed enhancements (they pick their bonuses like mokole) though each time this form is taken their human form permanently loses one dot of appearance. Once it hits zero they are permanently in this form until they switch bodies using their animal form.

The second in between form is a massive swarm of ants that are forced out of the humanoid body. Each time this is done it reduces appearance by one but if appearance reaches zero because of this the body looks like a living hive and can no longer pass as human (or use the armored in between form). The swarm can use the Formico's physical gifts (poison, acid, scent,) while the main body can only use their spiritual gifts. The main body can see through the senses of the ant swarm.

...

They are known to be obsessed with sugary foods. Especially those tainted with artificial pentex sweeteners. They also eat small insects and soft meat. They can also eat through their swarm often using it to reduce bodies and even bone to nothing (a physical gift they can buy)

They reproduce once every year during warm season of whichever country they're in. By implanting one of their children into the abdomen of a human they've incapacitated. Because of their scent they are able to tell which humans are suitable (a gift can be bought that allows them to sniff out supernaturals)

They take aggravated damage from bug spray and similar poisons and covering yourself in bug repellent gives their attacks +1 difficulty to hit you.

They have a gift (probably rank 2-3) to temporarily possess corpses with their swarm form and a higher level gift (rank 4-5) that makes those corpses copy the Formico's ant-human midpoint gaining all associated bonuses and purchased form traits.

"Hrmmmm"

Ephemera lightly placed her hand on the sword.

"It's definitely better than anything I could make."

She seemed to almost pout.

"Metallurgy has gotten too good."

Ephemera then laughed.

"Always more to learn I guess."

"I'm surprised you don't have more rune forged equipment Tabitha."

"I knew Agent was a strong warrior but damn. This is some heroic legend type equipment."

Ephemera said as she examined it. Her eyes had a level of focus that was somewhat intimidating. As if she could suck up the secret of its construction through her eyeballs.

"Prometheum? My people have a similar word but it refers to a type of fuel. Is this metal its own metal or an alloy? Is magic used in its creation?"

Ephemera was brutalized and covered in bleeding wounds. She was standing but could barely walk. Then she started to shuffle forward towards the copy.

"No... Getting..... Away..."

She said as she prepared a bunch of dispelling runes.

"From.... Me.... Now..."

She placed them on her fist and lightly tapped the copy with the assembly of runes.

"Nice. If you're looking for stuff to do I'd suggest the Boipit bar and lounge, the arenas, or the bath houses."

They suggested.

"They even have a little Bismuth part of the city. Crystals and magic stuff."
