A Joe in the Bush Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Lots of Fire. A Sun's worth of Fire. I'd be willing to let Sightline die if he did so by Teleporting Nighthound into the heart of the sun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulir Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Seriously? 6 pages in one day?! Wow. I normally read everything, but I think I will pass on those ones. Joe, that Corpsemaker post was fantastic. Mrs Voidus and Twi, your collaboration was also amazing. And Seonid, Paladin is awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edgedancer Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Oh, good. I thought it was another one of the Hemalurgy references the forum's drowning in. And I for one do not want to know what an Inquisitor-Nighthound would be like. Do not worry, Hemalurgy needs blood contact and Nighthound only bleeds creppy so no Hemalurgy affects him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voidus Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Researchers were amazed when they recently discovered this Topiary, it's the largest of all known Topiaries from ancient Oregon, we believe that this picture depicts the various gods of the Oregonians gathering together to defeat their dark god Nighthound, for around this Topiary we have found the words 'and then Nighthound died' written over and over again in some kind of symbolic ritual. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How these words came to be their chant is a mystery. Some scholars believe it to be a standard burial rite; however, no such inscriptions have been discovered on other graves or topiaries. Others are convinced this was a sign of mourning, but they deny the somewhat joyous exclamation points and the salvaged recording of a female voice singing "And then Nighthound died" again and again, interspersed with frequent giggles. We can only conclude that this god called Nighthound was a particularly nasty deity, his eventual fate a sort of punishment from other, more benevolent, gods and goddesses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatebreaker Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 Unt, zee furst Mad Ballooner post is up! (ba-dum-tissssh!) I can't believe the Minor Epic Empire let him join. They had no idea what they were signing up for! (ba-duuumm-tiiiiisssssssssssshhh!) Hah, I love balloon puns. They can be dangerous though. Do a bad one and it can blow up in your face! (ba-da-dum-ba-dum-tttiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssssssssssssssssssssshhhhhhhh!!!) Thank you, thank you, I'll be here all night. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More confusing are the recordings of the same voice referring to a 'Jeffrey', though from the way this voice speaks of him we conclude that this Jeffrey was perhaps a minor mischief making deity, a prankster perhaps. Not in the same league as this Nighthound or the unnamed Cannibal Epic that stories are still told of who lived inside a flying building filled with Dinosaurs and regularly caused confectionary to rain down upons her subjects so that she could enjoy their taste the better. EDIT: Fatebreaker Refills out recruiting at the moment but Zip's still in base so do you mind if I write him receiving them?

Fatebreaker Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 (edited) No problem, the Mad Ballooner just named the first epic he could think of. Names are not really his strong suit. Niether are conversations, he's more of a monologue kind of guy. Edited October 13, 2014 by Fatebreaker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the upside, I´m german and that means I´m allowed to laugh at him, which for some unexplainable reason I do. Then again I also like bad puns, so that isn´t saying much. That's a good idea. Though in this situation, there would be multiple pursuers, so it'd be a matter of trapping the majority before leaping out and saying "Look at me! I'm a target!" So....the odds of poor Rewind surviving are pretty much nil. Well, there goes our best chance of everyone getting to kill Nighthound. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kobold King Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I find myself laughing at the Mad Balloonist way more than I should.

Mad Ballooner + Saccharine + Doctor Funtimes + Lightwards tied to a chair = FUN FUN FUN Maybe Voidus could come up with another Epic--I mean another way--for that to happen.

If Nighthound ever meets the Mad Balloner he´s probably going to insult him in german, just because. Mad Ballooner + Saccharine + Doctor Funtimes + Lightwards tied to a chair = FUN FUN FUN Maybe Voidus could come up with another Epic--I mean another way--for that to happen. That´s it, Funtimes just crossed her moral event Horizon. Probably, there´s always Roadagain and his Mandom. (Even his name sounds like an Epic) I don't know if I'll get a chance to do this today, since I'll have company and may not have much Internet access... But the Mad Ballooner needs a pony desperately. We´ll always wait for you, so enjoy the company. Did any of you watch the end of Tokyo Ghoul? I think I just found someone that´s a fusion of Slaughterhouse and Nighthound... it wasn´t pretty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edgedancer Posted October 13, 2014 Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 She just wanted a hug. 0.o That sounds...terrifying.... And who is Lightwards to deny that request. Yeah, to elaborate(not for those with a weak stomach, you probably don´t want to read this) We have Ghouls, supernatural beings that can only gain nutrients from human flesh including corpses. the Protagonist Kaneki, a nice and somewhat weak willed student. Then one of the top Ghouls tries to eat them and someone drops a steel beam on them. He gets saved by a doctor implanting the ghouls organs into him, turning him into a half-ghoul. Towards the end of the series a ghoul called Jason decides to keep the Protagonist as his torture pet, because he has a remarkably strong healing factor. Said torture consists mainly out of him repeatedly ripping out his fingers with somekind of pincers and having him count down from 1000 in steps of 7 (from the number he reached we can conclud that he got a bit over 70 fingers ripped out) but also has such nice features as putting a centipede into his brain, all the while gushing about him making such a good victim. When Jason realizes that emotional torture is also fun he takes the two people, whose job it was to clean up all the blood and also tried to assure he Protagonist that helps is comming, and gives him the sadistic choice of which one lives and which one dies. After Kaneki refuses to make the choice both get brutally killed and Jason taunts Kaneki that it is all his fault. Suddenly Nighthound doesn´t feel that bad anymore.

Well, there goes our best chance of everyone getting to kill Nighthound. I did consider that. I didn't want the comedic value of the mad ballooner marred by racism. I'm part German myself, and have no prejudice towards them or any race at all. I see it as more of poking fun at the stereotype than actually mocking the people. The idea was what if a crazy WWII aviation enthusiast got powers and kinda went crazy. I'm even gonna have Schultz mention it at some point. But I want to make sure I am considerate and not offensive, so if you find anything too offensive, let me know and I will remedy the situation. But as long as you're okay with him, he will continue to contribute to the madness! He is so much fun to right for. Also, since you're from Germany, suggestions and tips for writing him are welcome.
