Salt the vault

[Klapaucius]

(an inapproporiate preposition is forgoing it's usual gimmick for this post, so if you want the full experience just pretend none of the text makes much sense and comes off slightly lewd)

It started of as an entirely inauspicious day. Just normal demon things that happen to demons in demonland.

- Ruby Alpha has died while bound by the terms of your demonic Pact! You have claimed their soul to serve you in death! (2022-02-02 19:01:22).
- Your pet Ruby Alpha, a Soul Thrall, attacked Imp and hit for 10 points of unholy damage. You gain 5 experience points! (2022-02-02 19:45:15).
- Imp attacked your pet, Ruby Alpha, a Soul Thrall and hit for 5 points of fire damage. (2022-02-02 19:45:15).
...
- Imp, belonging to Ruby Alpha, attacked your pet, Soul Thrall Vestige and missed! (2022-02-02 20:35:57).
- Ruby Alpha said, "Seems vaguely familiar.." (2022-02-02 20:36:01).

- Ruby Alpha said, "Oh, that was dumb of it.." (2022-02-02 20:36:14).
- (2 times) Your pet Soul Thrall Vestige attacked Imp and missed. (2022-02-02 20:36:26).
- Soul Thrall Vestige, belonging to an inappropriate preposition, attacked Imp, killing them! (2022-02-02 20:36:36).
- Your pet Soul Thrall Vestige attacked Imp and hit for 10 points of unholy damage. You gain 5 experience points! This was enough to kill them! You gain an additional 15 experience points! (2022-02-02 20:36:36).
- Ruby Alpha said, "And that's why you don't do stupid things like attack phantom me's.." (2022-02-02 20:37:09).
- Ruby Alpha said, "But I'm also giving your location away, so I'll have to borrow my me." (2022-02-02 20:37:29).
- Ruby Alpha attacked your pet Soul Thrall Vestige with an attempt to re-arrange summoning bonds and missed!. (2022-02-02 20:37:35).
- As Soul Thrall Vestige, belonging to an inappropriate preposition, attacked, 2 swarms of Stygian Murder Wasps escaped from the body of Ruby Alpha and buzzed angrily around them! (2022-02-02 20:37:35).
- Your pet Soul Thrall Vestige attacked Ruby Alpha and hit for 10 points of unholy damage. You gain 10 experience points! (2022-02-02 20:37:36).
- Ruby Alpha has corrupted your pet, Soul Thrall Vestige, and installed themselves as the new master of your pet! (2022-02-02 20:37:37).

That got a little meta for a minute there. What goes around, comes around I suppose. Ah well.

The mind-bending exchange struck this intrepid grammatical construct with a desire to meet new and interesting people, and send them to oblivion for their crimes against the natural order of the universe. To sew the metaphorical seeds of destruction amongst the fields of the oppressors, and not the destruction seeds that grow into nourishing, beautiful destruction plants, but violent, angry, skeletal plants, dripping with rash-causing sap. The metaphor's integrity wavered disconcertingly as literal bags of nasty looking seeds were packed for the journey.

Well, maybe one more imp for the road, I might need a little extra magic and it's just so satisfying.

- You attack Imp with your Colossal Femur and hit for 16 points of impact damage. This attack was charged with soul-sapping power! You extract 2 Soul Ice from the essences of your target! You gain 8 XP. This was enough to kill them! You gain an additional 15 Experience Points!.
- You drop your Colossal Femur. (2022-02-02 21:20:08). Bye friendI love you too

One of these could come in handy, too.

- Moishe from Accounting has pledged themself as your vassal! (2022-02-02 23:57:34).
- Moishe from Accounting said, "MY LIEGE" (2022-02-02 23:57:50).

Okay - the hour of destruction is upon us!

- You step inside Hall of Law. (2022-02-03 00:27:34).
- You emote, " sidles unlike your vision, a glint of cruel malice and then nothing for a while" (2022-02-03 00:29:16).
- You summon your proclivity for domineering and hate to project forth a palpable aura of fear on all those who would oppose you. (2022-02-03 00:29:26).
- You feel the magic pulse around your body, warming and protecting you. You will gain a +2 bonus to soak against all attacks while protected by the Mystic Shield. (2022-02-03 00:29:34).
- You feel your invisibility fade. (2022-02-03 00:29:34). OOPS I needed that
...
- Judgemaster, belonging to Amtherion, attacked you and hit for 6 points of holy damage. This was enough to kill you! (2022-02-03 00:29:42).

Well that didn't work out in the slightest, and I'm rather low on energy at this point. Thankfully, the wheels of oblivion are nothing if not patient and never go anywhere without a respectable supply of recreational drugs.

- You send a call out to your vassals to rally to your aid. They will be able to respond for the next 2 minutes. (2022-02-03 00:35:11).

Let's try this again! COME FORTH!

- You allow your Dark Power to seep out of your form and profane this area. For the next minute this area will be treated as though it were a part of Stygia, though Dark Oppressors, including yourself, attacking or defending with this increased power will shorten the duration. (2022-02-03 00:45:53).

No wait I don't need any Stygia here right now. I meant the other thing. Ugh. Okay, we're waiting another 15 minutes.

...

...

...

COME FORTH... please?

Not pictured: A whole mess of skeletal mangos.

At this point, horrific sounds began emanating from the vaults. Sounded like a killer harvest! Then an angry angel started punching and preposition found itself floating in the void.

Sometimes, getting there is half the story. Sometimes, it's a lot more.

- Moishe from Accounting destroyed a Glyph of Slowing vs Evil protecting this location! (2022-02-03 01:02:09).
- Moishe from Accounting destroyed a Glyph of Pain vs Evil protecting this location! (2022-02-03 01:02:12).

Yep, came in handy.

Sugar turns on her Stygian Fury before entering the vaults, activates a couple of boons.

I dropped an angel ready to go berserk with all the wounds and power...

Alas. The boon was for healing wounds and all the desecrates from the elder powers healed her on top of maximum health.

She can't place her emotion whether to be furious that she's getting healed or that she has Stygian Fury at all...
