Then I shall resort to my secret weapon known as catapults or maybe a ballistas since I can’t see a dwarf not flying back after getting hit by one

And meat buns.
So I’m gonna expect someone who’s prepared to do the deed to have a long drawn out ritualistic torture session…
How do I best explain this… Remember Azula futzing with the avatar state with that lightning strike before it came back for plot purposes?
And if someone can influence the successor?
Am I gonna be dragged into chaos when I die? Trusting curses is stupid.
What even is natural in the context of an undead? What makes the sky blue? Who was the first to ask?
Any famous non undead necromancer’s we can meet? Or steal from.
How in general do necromancers feel about us?

the intense battle between abrax the destroyer of cereal, and Lady Satin the Godling Duchess of Satin bed sheets causes the sky exist as a physical eggshell white canvas and the king of paint sticks bob ross made a alliance with the Goddess of off color humor to create a ever changing color scheme mostly shades of blue.
but every 3rd Wednesday of the month during the 121st year of the millennium they sky is half purple half neon green. the last time it happened the current wight king was conceived.

There is something wrong with this statement but I can’t put my finger on it

Good luck fitting man-made trebuchets in the tunnels. They wouldn’t be able to fire down there.
It’s possible yeah. But it’s more difficult, it also makes the binding less reliable, these undead would be very unstable.
Hey, as long as they bring good music…
I always remember that this wasn’t planned at all on Azula’s part, she just rolled a critical hit.
Once the curse was more malleable, more susceptible to influences, now it’s too powerful, you can’t control it, you can’t influence it, hell most wouldn’t even understand it. It’s not the same as it once was.
There’s no primordial chaos to be dragged into, merely the manifestations of its aspects, such as hell for example.
Rot I guess.
Yes. Though some of them are not what you will expect.
Well, that one’s not undead anymore because he’s dead for good now.
They’ll understand your nature better than most, which is about as disturbing as you’d expect for them. They’ll be both intrigued and considering professional reorientation.
If even normal people feel something is wrong around you, imagine what that does to someone that’s more sensitive to it.

So the first few Wight kings who nearly destroyed the world were weaker?
Is the curse man made?
Not in a ghosty way right? Necromancer’s don’t do the “strike me down and I’ll become stronger than ever” thing right?
The old bow chicka bow wow jazz music.
Or in this case bow chicka bow down?
Am I gonna get dragged to hell? I’d rather not spend two hours trying to pass the curse on to someone, think I’m free and then get hit by a train because of a well meaning lover.

(Note this is a dumb idea and should not be taken seriously)
I would like a vampire treasurer for the sole purpose that apparently in European folklore one weakness a vampire had was arithmomania which is a form of OCD that makes you want to count things so just show him a disorganized treasury of gold and a constant supply of blood and soon you will know how much cash you have at all times

Then if we have any mages or if oil is a thing then we would either burn or suffocate them out provided the tunnel is short enough to have that be viable otherwise just fortify the tunnels to all hell

No, the curse was just more dissolute. It was different but not necessarily weaker. Beside, the curse alone doesn’t make you strong, the strengths of the character themselves are more important. The curse will twist your strengths and weaknesses, making each Wight King unique in most of their abilities.
Nope. But are they innocent?
Well they can kinda do that with lichdom. But don’t worry, you won’t have some old necromancer judging all of your actions from the Force and telling you to go into the swamps to get a goblin to teach you.
You can’t pass the curse onto someone. No One For All for these scrubs. And your morality has absolutely no impact on where your soul end up, it’s all in chaos’ hands.
The funny thing is that it seems to be a common theme. I think the Jiangshi is the same, where you drop rice grains and they’ll feel compelled to count them.
The golden dwarves (the more subterranean dwarves) are master builders. Their architects are way ahead of their time, they show up even the elves when it comes to building. Most strategies you can think of, the dwarves have it covered. They’ve been fighting every step of the way for thousands of years nonstop. Their walls have stopped more than you could ever throw at them.
But they have no interests in conquering the surface, or fighting anyone for that matter. Not anymore.

Well I liked the older version more, this updated third chapter feels like a pillar story which isn’t even making any sense. I can’t decipher what’s going on. The simpler version was better.

God I’m tired, I read this as soluble, and thought “we can dissolve it in water?”
Ah we’re doing prequels then. Does that mean I have to cut off all of Mr. Hero’s limbs and light him on fire? And jack his weapon.
Had to do a double take because… manga spoilers
Anyway I can’t just put my dna in someone and pass it on? Darn.
As long as I don’t end up in clown hell. Chaotic jerks. Hope there aren’t night clowns… There’s not some Kefka expy running around right? People with god complexes (even if they are gods) and people who want to destroy the world are kind of annoying.
Basically is there any other unifying sentient threat to humanity besides the Wight king?
So I need to invade them, they’re like Poland. And yes I know, “violence is never the answer”, it’s a question, the answer is yes.
Who have the dwarves been fighting?

I would assume things like Trolls (assuming they are a thing), Dark Elves, and mindflayers if they are a thing.

Chapter 3 has problems, but I’ll remake it later.
Wightoxyl, dissolve in water, become immortal.
The training on Dagobah with Yoda is in the original trilogy though? With Obi’Wan going “So Luke, there’s this swamp planet and some hobo goblin on it will teach you how to use the force.”
Phrasing.
Well… There’s this cult, ring or whatever you want to call it. Let’s just say people with coulrophobia won’t be okay with them.
Well, god complex is something that is hard to avoid for anyone with enough power and pride. But considering they live on it, the people that want to destroy the world are thankfully few.
Oh yes.
The denizens of the underworld for one. It’s kind of an eternal battle. They’ve dug too deep.
Trolls don’t really live in the underworld, they usually prefer the surface, forests, swamps, mountains, they’re pretty adaptable. While Dark Elves have outposts accross the Underworld they don’t live down there, they usually use it to travel fast and unnoticed instead. There’s no literal mindflayer in this universe, not as a species.

Could we offer the Dwarves a legion of the undead in these trying times (I highly doubt they would accept or even be pleased with the offer)

Do the these Dark Elves have their own Version of drizzt do’urden?
Well yeah but you said we’re not doing that and I’m assuming we’d go to prequels rather than the sequels or the extended universe. If we are going original trilogy he’d still lose a hand at least. And electrocuted.
Sorry. I would like to put my essence in another consenting person so that their body undergoes changes in preparation to carry on my legacy.
That’s why you have to go full nihilist! Or Ubermensch.

Dwarves are too out of the way. Them as a faction probably won’t be in the story, except maybe really late into it. But you’ll probably meet copper dwarves.
Well, not Drizzt. There’s no one LIKE him in the story. But there are dark elf champions.

Damn Cegorach and his harlequins, damn elves and their weird gods.

They share some similarities with the harlequins, but in essence they’re very different. Their goals, their way of being and doing things are nothing alike.
