[hivvernal]

i think the necromancer should get his lil bony fingers in the hamlet's graveyard. as a special treat.

The heroes have been cleaning up the Ruins too well for his activities so he needs to dig up materials somewhere else... Resulting with an awkward encounter with the Grave Robber that ends in "If you don't tell I won't tell".

BREAKING NEWS: Hamlet SCANDAL!! Local Marchioness skips town in the middle of the night; publicity stunt? Lover’s tryst? Or the all-too-common occult possession via the mystery artifact you brought back from cursed ruins?

So uh I killed my first boss this run and got this achievement. The plus side is that I've only lost one person in the whole run so far and both Reynauld and Dismas are still alive!

My Locked Tomb Darkest Dungeon Lineup

Gideon - Hellion. Can say YOP so loud it causes nerve damage. (Kiriona of course is the Leper)

Ianthe - Graverobber. If I said this was based on vibes that would be incredibly unfair to the Graverobber but it's true.

Harrow - Plague Doctor. You'd think she'd be the Vestal, but consider: 1) do not look at my bare face ever 2) greatest necromancer of her generation, was not a pleasure to have in class and 3) claims carrion rights over dead bodies she finds

Camilla - Occultist. Palamedes is the skull.

(truly, Camilla is probably a better graverobber, given that she's equally capable of doing an acrobatic fucking pirouette or delivering a pick to the face. The actual closest character to Ianthe's combat style is Wilbur.)

Gilpin.

So I'm playing Darkest Dungeon. This is my third attempt at it - the first time I gave up in frustration, the second time because IRL stress was being made worse by in-game stress.

I have a Hellion named Gilpin. Gilpin has been in my list of heroes since the first month or so of the game. She's had a rough time - just shortly after reaching her champion status, she was called into battle against a bandit invasion. The rest of her squad all died due to the incompetence of their commander (i.e. me), leaving her the sole survivor.

Gilpin went on to prove herself time and again, defeating the Necromancer Lord in pitched battle before taking the fight to the Darkest Dungeon itself, where she dispatched the Shuffling Horror alongside a squad of trusted team-mates (one of whom, Corviser, is no longer with us).

All that time, Gilpin has been wary of the bandits returning. She kept watch, waiting for their banner showing over the horizon. She trained in several disciplines. She trained new comrades. She found love at the local brothel, where she'd return after the harshest battles. She waited. And waited.

Until finally, one day after Gilpin and her squad finally defeated the Siren who stalked the shores of the cove, the bandits came. Gilpin saw them, but had nothing left to give. She could not take her revenge. It was time to trust her comrades, and let those she had fought beside take the revenge in her place.

Anyway, this is to shame her for not only spending that battle getting absolutely railed , but losing a very pricey piece of gear in the process.

[darkestprompts]

The individual barks from the Necromancer's attacks are fascinating. Jester claims it reflects their hatred back at them, Antiquarian going on about her master, Musketeer and her flaws and regrets. I wish other bosses gave the heroes a chance for interactions like that. Siren making them see who/what they desire most? Their reactions to Vvulf trying to destroy the hamlet?

Oh, yes, it would have been delicious. Perhaps it would have been too difficult to figure out what each one of the heroes would see in the Siren instead of generic hot fish, but it could have been a difference in attitude. For example, Junia acting more protective and concerned ("don't hurt her, she's everything to me!") while someone like Boudica is aggressive and obsessed ("I will destroy your enemies, my love!"), Barristan is nostalgic ("Love makes me feel alive again!") and Josephine is fittingly materialistic ("My treasure, anything for you!").

Vvulf would have been a great time to confirm Brigand Dismas ("No one leaves the gang alive! HE'S AFTER ME!") and the burning buildings could have triggered Missandei's trauma ("Fire, destruction, my home! Not again!").

Sorry for the sparse posting. I'm not very excited about Darkest Dungeon lately due to Events and I lost the first version of this post on top of that. :') I'm so fucking done.

[demilypyro]

Thanks for getting me into the psychological torture machine that is darkest dungeon, Beat the necromancer apprentice and prophet and just continuing to go up!

I got you into that? I didn't even get far into that game and I haven't streamed it in at least a year

Not!propaganda for Not-Avatars:

The Ancestor (Darkest Dungeon): The relative of the player character who unearthed the portal and caused this whole mess to begin with. Having committed suicide some time before the game's events, he now serves as the game's narrator…although that might be the Heart using his voice. As a young man, he tried to murder The Countess at a party, then fed her blood to visiting nobles, causing an orgy of frenzied violence and turning them into Bloodsuckers. However, he accidentally ingested her blood too, granting him a vision of the Heart of Darkness beneath his manor and the horrifying true nature of the world. He began searching for forbidden knowledge, learning from the Necromancers and the Hag and hiring mariners to retrieve artifacts and relics for him. Using blood sacrifice and summoning rituals, he put dark spirits in the bodies of pigs, creating the Swinefolk that he left in the Warrens. He murdered the Necromancers and reanimated them to prove his prowess, but then the undead necromancers started raising the dead too. When the mariners demanded more pay, he hexed their anchor to drag them into the depths, then sold a village girl who had a crush on him to the Pelagics of the cove (who turned her into the Siren, their monstrous queen/breeding slave) because he wanted jewels and was bothered by her following him around. A homeless man started preaching that The Ancestor would bring doom upon the world and turned the people against him, so after multiple murder attempts failed, he lured the man to the dig site and drove him mad with the terrible truth. He also hired a band of brigands to reassert his rule through force by culling The Hamlet’s population to manageable numbers. At some point in all of this, a miller approached him for help after his crop failed, so The Ancestor lured an eldritch comet onto the miller’s land, turning everyone into crystalline abominations trapped in an endless time loop. The Ancestor finally unleashed The Heart, bringing cosmic horror to The Hamlet, and killed himself after sending a letter to The Heir asking them to come fix his mistakes. However, he may have been faking regret to string The Heir along, since he reappears in the Darkest Dungeon as the Heart’s herald (although that may have been The Heart impersonating him). Either way, his foolish quest to unearth The Heart and all of the immensely horrible things he did to everyone around him to make that happen left The Hamlet in shambles and the surrounding lands infested with all sorts of nightmarish monsters. TLDR; the living embodiment of "fuck around and find out."

Stanford Pines (Gravity Falls): A paranormal researcher who came to Gravity Falls to study the town’s anomalies, which he catalogued in three journals. He made a deal with Bill Cipher to gain the knowledge necessary to build an interdimensional portal, but realized that Bill was tricking him so he could invade Earth. Spiraling into paranoid madness, he hid two of his journals and tried to get his twin brother Stanley to hide the third, but they got into a fight that sent Stanford through the portal. He wandered the multiverse for decades searching for a way back home and the means to defeat Bill, and eventually was brought back by Stanley. He then mentored Dipper in the supernatural as he sought to stop Bill’s plans, eventually defeating the dream demon after reconciling with Stanley and headed off to go on more adventures with his brother. Understandable that he didn't make it, because Stanley was also in contention and Ford veers too much toward The Eye.

Fiddleford McGucket (Gravity Falls): A scientist who studied the paranormal activity in Gravity Falls with Stanford Pines. After being traumatized by a Gremoblin showing him his worst fear, he invented a memory eraser gun to get rid of bad memories. Fiddleford and Stanford built an interdimensional portal, but when Fiddleford was briefly dragged through it during a testing accident, he caught a glimpse of the Nightmare Realm and prophesied that armageddon would come if the portal reached its full potential. He quit the project, but was haunted by memories of his supernatural encounters and plagued by paranoia and insomnia. He continued to use the memory gun, which became an inspiration for Fiddleford to found an organization within Gravity Falls known as the Blind Eye Society, hoping to give others a similar chance at alleviating their deepest regrets and awful memories. Unfortunately, continuous encounters with paranormal entities within the town and a heavy over-reliance on his creation deteriorated Fiddleford's mind, draining him of his sanity and increasingly devolving him into a crazed and lunatic old man. By July of 1983, Fiddleford was a ghost of his former self, estranged from his wife and son and now known as the garbage-dwelling Old Man McGucket, Gravity Falls' local kook. He also started making killer robots to get revenge and attention.

The SCP Foundation (SCP): The SCP Foundation, more commonly called simply "the Foundation", is an international covert non-governmental organization responsible for the containment of anomalous objects that behave against natural scientific laws. Their operational ability is expansive, covering scientific and military fields. Their command hierarchy is headed by the Overseer Council, an enigmatic council consisting of 13 members with classified identities. The Foundation enforces The Masquerade as part of their mandate to protect the world from the abnormal using coverups and amnestics. On a good day, the SCP Foundation is a group of individuals willing to go to extreme lengths to protect the human race, and despite their coldness can show kindness to many of the sentient anomalous objects. On a bad day, the SCP Foundation is a horrendously corrupt and even inefficient organization who don't care for humanity in anything but the abstract and that can even escalate the threats they create, but still work to prevent humanity from being destroyed.

Roy (DHMIS): Yellow Guy’s father, who created the simulation that Yellow Guy, Red Guy, and Duck are trapped in. He sends Teachers to give them “lessons,” which inevitably go horribly and turn out to be thinly-veiled torture sessions, seemingly aimed at punishing Yellow Guy for the faults Roy finds in him.

Lesley (DHMIS): A live-action human, and the presumed controller of the entire TV series. She presumably lives in the attic of the house. While she does not do anything directly antagonistic, it is implied that she is the reason why the trio is seemingly trapped in the show and why random objects keep coming to life and “teaching” them about various topics--which in practice means tormenting them physically and psychologically. She also wants to keep the students from investigating the true nature of their world: she noticeably keeps Yellow Guy from investigating further into the house's reality, and if she knew in advance that returning to the first floor would risk Yellow Guy losing his batteries (and thus being unable to understand or explain what he saw), then she also deliberately played on his friendship with his roommates to trick him into heading back downstairs. She clearly does have considerable power over the world, but there are stairs leading higher than her and she seems amused/enraged at the idea that she created everything. She could almost pass for a normal kids' show host with her colorful clothes and sweet demeanor, but there's clearly something off about her. It is heavily implied that Yellow Guy is a copy of her son, who died in a car accident, which is why she’s trying to “teach” him.

The Doctor (Doctor Who): A Time Lord who, like all members of his kind, has a life span measured in centuries/millennia, some degree of psychic ability, and the ability to regenerate when near death. Unlike other Time Lords, they became bored and/or terrified by the Gallifreyan way of life when they were “young”, stole an antique TARDIS, skipped town and "never stopped running". As the series progressed, it has become the norm that any villain who recognizes who this strange individual calling themself "Doctor" is immediately browns their trousers. A number of times the Doctor themself calls attention to their identity for that effect. The Doctor remains the same person throughout their lives and maintains the same core mindset and (for the most part) memories, but different incarnations have different appearances and somewhat different personalities, being anything from an angry, grumpy, callous, arrogant, ruthless Jerk with a Heart of Gold Anti-Hero to a fun-loving, eccentric, clownish, childlike alien with an unscrupulous, manipulative streak to a dashing, charismatic, heroic Cultured Badass Ace with Insufferable Genius tendencies to a sensitive, vulnerable, fallible Gentleman and a Scholar. Consequently, different incarnations have been predisposed towards different Entities: for example, Seven seemed to be drawn to the Web, Eight was Stranger-aligned, Thirteen could be argued as aligned with The Lonely, and so on; this means that while The Doctor is adjacent to many Fears, they’ve never really been pinned down as an Avatar of any particular one. Presumably disqualified because several Doctors had been in previous brackets.

The Collector (MCU): The person with the largest collection of interstellar fauna, relics and species (including sapient ones) in the galaxy, who wants to collect all of the Infinity Stones. He has several “assistants” tending to his collection, who he tortures and imprisons as part of the collection if they don’t do their jobs well enough, to the point that one of them (who may be his daughter) disintegrates herself with the Power Stone because she’d rather die destroying his collection than live as his slave. He has immense greed for rare and precious objects and beings; for instance, he wants to collect the Infinity Stones seemingly just to own the complete set, and tells Groot “You must allow me to pay you now so that I may own your carcass. At the moment of your death, of course." While the Guardians look quite horrified when they see footage of the Power Stone being used to cause death and destruction, the Collector seems rather fascinated by its formidable power and is practically orgasmic when he sees the stone out of the Orb, even calling it "beautiful". He also has the Tivan Group conduct illegal and dangerous mining operations to collect organic materials from Knowhere.

And one more I didn't think to submit--

The Masters (Fallen London): SPOILERS FOR FALLEN LONDON: A bunch of disastrous space bats who dropped London into a cave to try and get a sufficient love letter for the Bazaar to deliver to the Sun so it’ll be able to get over being rejected by its crush. They’re an eclectic bunch of horrors ranging from “capitalist asshole who tries to get you to steal someone’s baby for it and attempts strikebreaking,” “mostly nice but sells very questionable meat,” “impersonating another Master and serial killing to get vengeance stories in order to save the Bazaar,” “hunts people for sport--and not even in the proper ways,” and “runs a murder game but that’s not so bad in the Neath because death isn’t as permanent as it should be.”
