Legend of the Hunter: Chapter 4 - [S] Fight. Talk. Don't die.

[Don]

Or...

Something Unexpected: Happen.

El Vendeval: Be named Katia Managan by birthname.

[Malrone]

Boy. Yes you, boy. This is your conscious. I call you boy because up until now, that's how you behaved. Riddled with doubt, lacking in skill, always dreaming but never pursuing. You can't stay a boy forever, not in this world, not after what has happened, not without suffering the same fate. Stand up. Cast off what shackles you to your shame, and become who you always wanted to be. Your doubts, your naivete, and perhaps even your name. Yes, your name. El Vandeval is a boy. Leave him behind. Embrace Tristan. The traitors may have given that name to you, but it was also their treachery that lit the (dragon)forge which shall refine you into the hero you are to be. Show them who you have become, who they made with their lies, then make them pay for it.

tl;dr-
>TRISTAN: Feel the motivation.

[Wandering One]

Mr. Tristan, you have a wife and kids, don't you? You can't lose that in some crazy revenge plan... Consider just walking away from this one, please...

>El Vandeval: They killed your partner, man.

It's over. El Vendaval has embraced the path of the AVENGER NOIR, the most hard-boiled of all sleuthing classes. He will show no mercy in uncovering clues, harassing suspects, and solving crime while being A LOOSE CANNON OUT FOR REVENGE ON THE SIDE. This tough guy will get the bad boys behind bars, and if it's in pieces only. He'll break the case. He'll break bones. HE IS LAW INCARNATE.

>El Vendeval: REGROW YOUR MOUSTACHE!

AND NOW HE HAS A MOUSTACHE.

WATCH OUT, BROTHERS
WATCH OUT

Also, I've followed this great adventure since like October or something but I only registered like two weeks ago. I just kinda jumped in without introducing myself but I would like to take tell you that this is probably my favourite adventure on the entire board.

Well, hi then! It's always nice to hear of people enjoying this. I've still got plenty more in store for this adventure, so I'm as curious as you where this'll end up in a year or so.

STAY TUNED!

[Chaos Waltz]

FUCK.
YES.

All groups> prepare for takeoff.

[Professor zobot]

Oh.

Oh god.

Oh god oh dragons oh god what have we done.

(Trump? I laughed so hard I almost choked on what I was eating. Awesome job!)

[Malrone]

YES. HELL YES. HELL. FUCKING. YES!
(Is it bad that I thought he had wings on his hat in panel 3?)

===================================>

[siguard]

*snif* I'm so proud of El Vendalva! he became a true major character. soon to become a Duel Boss to face Sebastian in a Dramatically Stormy Street after a manly declaration of stopping the two brothers. it will be an amazing boss fight to witness.

[Professor zobot]

YES. HELL YES. HELL. FUCKING. YES!
(Is it bad that I thought he had wings on his hat in panel 3?)

===================================>

Someday, his hat WILL have wings.

It will.

[Godbot]

The only way this can possibly be made any better is if you get on your invisible dragon and fly away.

[flyingBrick]

Go Tristan!

[distainfulCatalyst]

>Some random guy: Pass by this hard-boiled, broad shouldered, swirly-chinned man with the commanding facial hair. Realize that you have witnessed the birth of a legend.

[Wessolf27]

Oh my gog, so awesome!!!

Crowd of screaming fangirls: Flock towards this extremely cool hard-boiled dude
El Vendaval: Acquire Shades of Awesome

[Kocel232]

And yet you all forget about Father Lamard, who's probably getting murdered horribly as we speak.

Lamard: RUN. RUN OUT OF THE CITY. DON'T LOOK BACK.

Tristan: step on something sharp and die from the infected wound (yes, I've read The Dark Tower).

Is this command even necessary?

[suomynonAyletamitlU]

Probably not. But hey, it won't be the first redundant command in the history of ever.

Legend of the Hunter - 140

Prepare for takeoff.

EL VENDAVAL is ready to walk the path of revenge. Or fly on it. Whatever. He gets on the STEALTH WYRM that he commands with the DRAGON DRUBBING DRUMSTICK. He'll tell his family that he's a hard-boiled, crime-solving vigilant from now on! It'll be sweet. He'll say something totally badass while thousand-mile-staring all the time. There'll be tears, but then, El Vendaval will unflinchingly walk towards the door.

'CAUSE A MAN'S GOTTA DO WHAT A MAN'S GOTTA DO.

>Some random guy: Pass by this hard-boiled, broad shouldered, swirly-chinned man with the commanding facial hair. Realize that you have witnessed the birth of a legend.

Seems a random soldier walking by is frozen with awe! Or surprise? You do kinda seem to float in mid-air...







I'm riding my invisible dragon.



Oh. I... see?



That was a little embarassing.

Off to El Vendaval's family, then. Epic farewells await him!

Get on your invisible dragon and fly away.

Go for the skies, Pazuzu!
By the way, you're Pazuzu from now on.

...man, I really feel silly on this thing



But there's still Father Lamard.

He has reached a storehouse by now, where all the stuff has been stored that just lay around after the invasion. Lots of broken items, some belongings of now dead citizens. Even though there are often no guards around, thieves seldom take advantage of this. There's not much of value here. And even to them, IT FEELS WRONG.

Oh yes, the storehouse...
It's somewhat of a shifty location, don't you think?
All the now ownerless belongings remain here...
As an expert on magic items, I don't think this is a good idea.
If there's even a bit of magic in there, it's bound to react with the lingering grief sooner or later...
We can't store everything according to perfect safety protocols, right?
Besides, magic doesn't end up in a dump like this.
Get in. We need to talk.



And Father Lamard does indeed get in. He doesn't suspect a thing.

Well, what do you know!
It's the Lich's Libation! I thought this thing broke when Gwydian used it for the cannon.
But it seems it only lost a lot of power.
Eh, even a harmless necromantic enchantment like this should regenerate over time...
Yeah, yeah. Be happy about your beer keg.
Okay. About that talk.
Uuuuh... It's gonna be a short one.
I've got just one thing to say, really.



I've always considered you a true patriot, Lamard.
Sorry, man.

Lamard: RUN.

...what?

[Mibbs]

Lamard: use lichs libation as phylactery to keep your soul in when you, you know, get stabbed

[Professor zobot]

>Lich's Libation: React with the lingering grief in the air and that creepy weird one-eyed teddy bear to create THE END OF ALL PLUSH.

>END OF ALL PLUSH: Attempt to eat Mantikor.
