You are Donovan 'Don' Murphy. You're currently rocketing across the Atlantic ocean in what you think is a generally northerly direction, which would likely put the location of your most recent meeting with an illegal arms dealer somewhere on the Outer Banks, either in Virginia or, far more likely, in North Carolina. The Outer Banks are a narrow strip of sand dunes and islands which separate the Atlantic Ocean from various sounds and bays on the shore. They're one of the few areas of the coast devoid of hotels and sunbathing tourist, primarily because there's little room for either. Either way, you musn't have been too far from Norfolk because before you know it you seem to be coasting into the dock beneath a warehouse where you'd initially climbed aboard the speedboat.

The bag is jerked off of your head, revealing a dimly lit subterranean room with a cement ceiling and a wooden pier stretching out over a currently flooded drydock. Carrying an oblong, metallic case in each hand. They contain your most recent purchases; a laser rifle, a PDW likely produced in some seedy Eastern European factory, and a rifle hundreds of years old which drew your attention after a seemingly powerful spirit revealed its location to you. You're led by two men, both of them vaguely familiar to you as the guards who'd been with you in Rodge's vault, onto the peer and up a flight of stairs. Much to your surprise, the guard to your left politely opens the rusted iron door to reveal the dingy alley stretching between two disused warehouses. The other gestures you forward.

As you step into the hallway the metal door clangs shut behind you, and you're left once more to your own devices. You begin to make your way towards your car, some paranoid part of you worrying that it might have been stolen or defaced in your long absence. You arrived a few hours past noon, and to say it was the early evening would be generous. You'd check your phone for the time, but your hands are full.

You breath a sigh of relief upon spotting your car sitting right where you left it, evidently unmarred. Your Porsche is definitely one of your more frivilous purchases. You recall vivdly the week long chewing out Claire, your wife of seven years, gave you after she figured out how much the car cost the two of you. You still love the god damned thing. It's fast as hell, even if it would shatter like glass should you get into even the mildest of wrecks.

(2/3, I lied)
>>
You fish your keys out of the pocket of your overcoat and pop the trunk, taking a moment to stuff your new purchases into the trunk before slamming the trunk closed and meandering over to the driver's side door to climb into the car. You've still got a whole evening ahead of you. You could get the rest of your shopping out of the way, or you could find a shooting range to test out your new purchases. You might also give your strange new powers a work out, find somewhere secluded to test out what you can do with your bound Flame Stag (Flaming Deer?).

>You've got a few days until you need to leave for Antarctica, swing by the shooting range and test out your purchases.
>You really ought to get all your shopping out of the way. Find a hunting or camping store that would sell extreme weather gear.
>You've been given supernatural powers by the purported embodiment of Death, a being of god-like power. Why have you net stretched your newfound power yet?

You shift the car into neutral and press down the clutch before pressing down the ignition. The engine promptly warms to life, and you fiddle with the radio while you wait for the car to warm up. Once you've found a station you like, you shift the car into gear and motor away from the collection of run down warehouses and docks that line this part of Norfolk. It isn't long before you're once more cruising along the highway.

You must have lucked out, because trafic is sparse. You manage to make the journey in just over a half hour. You're forced to slow as you enter the outskirts of Richmond and traffic picks up, but it gives you time to think about where you plan on going to find the necessary gear. You could likely find a cheap store that sells outdoorsy stuff that would serve your purpose. However, you ARE going to Antarctica. Now might not be the best time to scrimp and save. Plus, the nicer stores might have sell civilian grade body armor or hunting scopes and the necessary tools to modify your Gewehr, should you wish to do so.

You drive further into the city, navigating occaisional stop and go traffic until you reach the heart of the city proper, and with it the various chic, high-end stores that populate this part of town. You pull off the highway and into the city streets below, navigating maze of highrise apartments, restaurants, office buildings, and store fronts.

You press a button on your steering wheel and the radio goes dead. You speak casually to empty air. "Find camping supplies, hunting equipment, cold weather gear. Ten miles." A chime rings through your car's compartment and only a moment later a three dimensional map of downtown Richmond, Virginia pops out of the armrest next to you. Several locations are highlighted with small, red pins. One of them larger than the others, indicating all three search terms were tagged at that store. It appears to be Northern Outfiters. Ironic, since you're headed to the South Pole.

You tap the pin as its displayed in the projection, faint tactcile feedback thrumming through the tip of your finger as you do so. A line appears on the windshield in front of you, seemingly projected against the road. After that, you simply have to follow the blue line to your destination.

You swing into a narrow parking space in front of the store. It's a large, three story affair. It seems to be some sort of factory outlet. You slide carefully out of the car, shutting the door behind you and taking a moment to straighten out your pinstriped suit. Needless to say, the events of the day have left you looking slightly disheveled. You'll need to see about getting this suit laundered.

You absentmindedly lock the car as you stride towards the sliding glass doors, stepping carefully around a strange spirit with a cat's head, a dog's body, and a donkey's tail. You also note a large, almost gargoyle-esque spirit observing the various goings on of the street from its perch on the corner of a storefront. Neither of these spirits seem hostile, or even particularly aware of your presence. Stepping into the store, you find yourself slightly overwhelmed. Dozens of varieties of parkas, hats, caps, pants, boots, socks, and mask cover the shelves. You note a sign indicating hunting gear is on the second level, and camping gear the third. The first floor is entirely given over to clothing. You're at a loss as to where to start...

You survey the store passively before twisting on your heel and marching out of the store. It takes only a moment to retrieve the slimmer case from your trunk, the one contianing the centuries old rifle that strange spirit directed you towards. You pop the case open just to be sure it's the right one, and note out of the corner of your eye the gargoyle taking flight. The strange... Catdogkey thing also perks up its head and dashes off into an alleyway. Concerning.

You click the case shut and heft it out of your trunk, slamming the compartment shut before striding back into the store. You take a brief circuit of the first floor, and then the second floor. You notice, almost unconsciously, a masssive bundle labeled 'Surplus: 7.92x57mm Mauser; 300 rounds'. You hoist it by the sturdy canvas strap running along the top, though the effort knocks you off balance. You may want to get a cart of some sort.

Regardless, your spirit doesn't seem to be doing you much good. Maybe you need to... poke it, somehow? Wake it up? Muster it forth? Is it even really -your- spirit? You didn't contract or bind with it. It just sorta showed up and then vanished.

>Think in the general direction of your rifle.
>Maybe open the box? That seemed to get a response from some other spirits.
>Hit it, in your experience hitting things usually works.
>You don't really know much German... you're not even a hundred percent certain the spirit was German. Look up common German military phrases on your phone and try shouting a few out.

You'll start with thinking in the general direction of the rifle, then open the box if that doesn't work, and if nothing happens at that point you'll try shouting in German.
>>
>>35354107
We are still in the store correct? Perhaps we should keep the volume level just under shouting.
>>
You stare intently at the rifle, picturing the figure you saw earlier, with its dogs and the ominous mask. You focus on the image intently, and then slowly twist it to show the figure stepping out of the box. Unfortunately, you don't seem to be accomplishing much beyond looking constipated. The box remains inert, no spirits of war to be seen.

You take a glance around, making sure this part of the store is mostly abandoned. You seem to be one of the few people in the building that isn't a staff member, so you've mostly got the place to yourself. Likely due to the late-ish hour. With that in mind, you carefully slide back the access panel and key in the code Rodge gave you, the container unsealing with a hiss of compressed air. You open the case, revealing the polished wooden rifle in all its glory. Four stripper clips sit unused in the foam. Unfortunately, no spirit springs out to greet you like some sort of macabre jack-in-the-box.

You try thinking at the rifle again, but once more are met with failure. Frustrated, you whip out your phone and press your thumb flat against the surface, waiting for it to finish scanning your finger print. Once the screen unlocks, you navigate to a translation app and type in the first term that comes to mind 'Attention!'. You've had it shouted at you and shouted it in turn innumerable times. It's ubiquitous amongst military forces the world over. Surely, if anything gets this spirit out of the rifle this will be it.

The translation appears after only a moment you you read it a few times over. Once you feel you've got a sort of vague idea how to pronounce it you clear your throat. "Achtung." Nothing. Well, it might just be your imagination but it did seem to grow a little colder. Maybe if you're a little bit more forceful? "Achtung!"

>>
So you know how people treated us weird as shit right? Why didn't stoner boy and his guards act weird? I'm hoping it's because they just assumed we were a weirdo and that isn't unnerving when you sell guns.
>>
You hear the barking of dogs, the shrill keen of an artillery shell arcing towards you. Men shouting, screaming, dying. The constant rattling of gunfire. However, the effects subside without the spirit making an appearance. Frustrated, you rise to your feet and snap your heels together, adopting a stiff, military posture and inhaling a deep breath before shouting in your best officer's voice. "ACHTUNG, WEHLEIDIG DU STÜCK SCHEIßE!“

Shit, where did that come from? What did you even just say? It just felt so natural...Your voice seems to echo through the store, rebounding off the walls even as a screeching wail fills the building accompanied by the steady clack of boots against cobblestone and the baying of dogs. The spirit springs into existence before you, stiff at attention with its flattened hand to the brim of its helmet. It shouts back with the voice of a thousand men speaking at once “JAWOHL! Wir sind treu bis in den Tod!”

The dogs you saw last time are conspicuously absent, but you've got a spirit standing before you at attention. That's one step closer to your goal than you were when you started. However, you hear footsteps approaching, you may want to clear out...

You tap in your question and then activate the speech recognition function. You read over the translation a few times before speaking. “Haben Sie einen Rat?” You think that ought to be a question regarding the spirit's advice, though you suppose you're not a hundred percent certain. These translation apps are notoriously inaccurate, especially when it comes to grammar.

The spirit responds after a brief pause. “Noch nie in einem Landkrieg in Asien engagieren.” Your phone displays an ellipses as it translates what the spirit said, but before it can finish a sweaty gentlemen with disheveled hair and a pockmarked face practically burst into the aisle.

The man, more a boy really, stares first at you, then at the rifle on the ground. “What the h-ell was th-at?! Are you alright? Was that Ger-erman?” His voice cracks obnoxiously at several points. You find him unreasonably annoying.

You wave him off, focusing instead on your phone. The translation has come through. What the hell is 'Never get involved in a land war in Asia' supposed to mean? Is that some sort of pop culture reference from the 20th century? You begin to alter your query, but the teenager interrupts you again. “Sir, did you hear me? I asked you a question.”

He's trying to make his voice sound deeper, and he's drawn himself up. He's not very good at being intimidating. You cast him a side long glance and respond bluntly. “I sneezed. Allergies. Gesundheit and all that. A little privacy, yeah?”

The kid seems persistent. He folds his arms in front of his chest and narrows his eyes at you. “Sir, if you're going to be belligerent and continue to cause a disruption I'm going to have to ask you to leave the store.” One of his coworkers, a lanky 20-something hipster in tight jeans and a gay sweater under a bright orange vest with a name tag on it has loped over to see what the commotion is all about, and you hear other people approaching. Seems you've made a bit of a scene.

You sigh, turning to face the boy and his coworker and give them your full attention. “Look, I apologize for any disturbance I might have caused in this borderline abandoned store of yours. Now, can I have some privacy to do my shopping in piece?” The younger of the two employees looks hesitant, but Mr. Gay Sweater taps him on the shoulder and whispers something in his ear before stalking off.

The pockmarked teenager sighs. “Very well, sir. Do try to contain your enthusiasm, if you have another outburst like that I'll have to ask you to leave.” He stalks away, while you're left passively contemplating his violent death. However, you've more important things to worry about than annoying teenager minimum wage laborers. Namely, finding some god damned cold weather gear that won't leave you freezing your ass off in the Antarctic.

You finish typing in the question you want to ask to the translation app and recite what it tells you to say. “Haben Sie einen Rat haben über die Zeit in der Arktis?” It responds after only a moment. “Zeit verbringen, nicht in der Arktis.“ With that, it starts marching away. Where it walks, a harsh, greenish yellow smoke seems to linger and fester, corroding the floor and the shelves around it one moment and then vanishing the next, leaving the area unmarred. You're left with little other recourse but following the spirit as it marches around the store.

It has you pick up two more boxes of ammunition, not for the rifle but instead 7.62x35mm ammunition, and a handful of military grade laser rifle batteries. You're a little surprised a camping supply store had military grade laser rifle batteries, but they did. Maybe hunters like to use higher powered batteries in lower powered rifles? Whatever. You find yourself carrying a basket full of ammunition in one hand and a rifle case in the other.

Once the spirit seems satisfied with your supply of ammunition it steps calmly onto the escalator and lets the device carry it down to the first floor. You're struck by the sheer absurdity of a gas-mask wearing embodiment of death and war riding an escalator calmly, the tattered remnants of its right arm dangling limply from its side. You follow it regardless, and you find yourself led on a circuitous route through the ground floor. You grab a balaclava with some weird gas mask thing on the end, a thick scarf, several coats, lots of loose shirts, a water-resistant jacket and several pairs of water resistant pants. Also, several pairs of gloves along with several warm hats.

It eventually seems satisfied with your clothing options and rides the escalator up to the third floor, where the camping supplies are. You find yourself grabbing an insulated tent and a similarly insulated sleeping pag, as well as several blankets and a pillow. You're somewhat unsettled by the fact you're grabbing these items without really realizing, it's simply what you know you ought to do. The spirit is merely walking in front of oyu passively.

Once you've collected all of the items the spirit indicated, it vanishes. You're left with your arms loaded full of clothing, camping supplies, and ammunition. You also note a gun cleaning kit, rope, zip ties, chemical packets that will warm up once activated, an electric torch, and a hand crank universal charger. It's stacked precariously, almost impossibly. You've little idea how you managed to grab some of the items with your hands already full as they were. Regardless, you're left to navigate down to the ground floor on your own.

You make your way to the register, bypassing the rest of the store. You trust that War got you all the supplies you need, or at least the vast majority of the supplies you'll need. You drop your pile of supplies on the counter in front of a zoned out teenage girl who doesn't even really seem to notice you as she starts to scan through your pile, the total ticking steadily higher. Rather, she simply stares into space, completely unaware of the world around her. It's kind of disconcerting.

Eventually she's widdled the pile down and bagged it all away with mechanical efficiency. She mumbles something, presumably the total. It came out to be three hundred forty two dollars and sixteen cents. You count out four hundred dollar bills and pass them to the woman, who taps the amount into the register. Your change is spit out of a recepticle in the counter, bills first and then loose change.
>Cash: $2,657.84

You collect your bags and, with great difficulty, ferry them as well as your rifle back to the trunk of your car. It takes some effort, but you manage to pack everything in. All told, this shopping trip ate up about an hour of your time. Perhaps a bit more. Checking you're phone, it's 6:27 PM. You're starving, and you still wanted to try out your newfound powers. Then again, you could always just head back home and relax. You'll probably have time tomorrow to run errands and such.

It's a good neighborhood, but it's isolated. You're one 'o them rich folk what live in the mountains. That means your neighbors are just as often country bumpkins as they are other rich folk.

You climb into the car and go through your usual routine. Once it's started up and in gear you get on the highway and absentmindedly keep an eye out for anything approaching tollerable to eat. All the fast food these days is basically overprocessed protein slurry, so you'd like to avoid anything of that nature if at all possible. You'd like to be able to keep the food you eat down, after all.

It doesn't take you long to find a decently acceptable place to eat that isn't too expensive and won't break the bank. It's a small french bistro just off the highway. You swing off the exit ramp and make your way across the road into the parking lot, coming to a stop just in front of the place. You note a few oddities, namely yours seems to be the only car in the parking lot. However, this isn't overly concerning. It's that dead period between dinner and lunch, so you'd expect it to be sparsely populated. The giant sign hanging above the entrance spelling 'Le Cirque' in glowing neon blue letters also strikes you as odd for some reason you can't quite put your finger on.

You climb out of your car, locking it behind you. The inside of the bistro is just as empty as the outside would suggest. The handful of tables scattered around the front of the restaurant are devoid of people, decoration, or chairs. The counter is abandoned and apparnetly disused, cobwebs stretching across the corners. The only other soul in the entire place is a strange creature, a man from the shoulders down. Its neck and head are part of one giant mouth. It has no eyes, no nose, no ears. Its head is odd and vaguely pyramidal, if a pyramid was turned on its head. The only feature it has is one long, think line of a mouth splitting its lopsided head in half.
(1/2)
>>
It purrs, an unsettling sound. Its lips seem to roll like waves as the sound stretches on. Finally it stops, and folds its hands in front of itself. “A mortal who can see the realm of spirits, how curious.” It stretches out its hands, and an array of grotesqueries appear inside the suddenly ornate, gold trimmed display counter. You see human eyes decorating delicate puff pastries. Giant, ungainly spider's legs protruding from the top of a fruit pie of some sort. A seemingly mundane meat pie. All manner of sweats, some sporting insects, others creatures you can't identify. Frankly, it's almost like some children's fable.

“Anything you like, for only the price of a secret.” Its voice is hoarse, and throaty. Almost more of a croak. You glance behind you, towards the entrance. However, seeing your gesture the spirit purrs once more, or perhaps this time it's more of a growl. “Only paying customers may leave, I'm afraid.”

You approach the counter cautiously, eyeing the various confections and pastries within with no small amount of suspicion. “So, what do these do?” You ask, cautiously. One of the eyeballs on top of a barbecue puff blinks at you. You find yourself distinctly unsettled.

The spirit follows you with its head, but doesn't give any other indication that it's noticed your presence.”Whatever do you mean, walker of dual nature? They feed you. Your spirit. Your essence. Perhaps for a mortal this is strange. Consider yourself excused, should this be the case. I understand our customs can take some time to adjust to.”

Well gee, thanks there hideous monster guy. Way to be condescending under a mask of vague politeness. “Well, consider my spiritual essence malnourished then. What would you recommend for one's first meal?” You look up, to where the spirit was but moments before. Instead you feel a cold and clammy, its fingers impossibly long and tipped with black claws. It reminds you in many ways of a corpse, and you feel an involuntary shiver run down your spine.

The creature draws your attention to a cupcake with what appears to be a finger protruding from the top, its fingernail burning like the wick of a candle. You find yourself unable to actually look at the creature directly, only catch glimpses of it out of the corner of your eye. You really need to figure out that teleportation thing spirits seem capable of.

“Awakening day baked good, in a cup shaped variety. A favorite. I'm sure you'll love it.”

You peer over the assorted treats laid out before you. A hand is desperately trying to fight its way out of the meat pie and one of the pastries has sprouted antennae and started crawling around on the glass. Frankly, none of this stuff looks appetizing, but then a thought occurs to you. The spirit had said you could have anything for the price of a secret.

Anything.

You clear your throat pointedly. “Well, I think I've decided on what I'd like.” The hand on your shoulder is gone, and instead the creature stands before you. You're once more able to stare at it directly, instead of simply catching glimpses of it.

It purrs, a low and throaty noise. “Oooh? And what, pray tell, might that be?” The spirits lips peel back, baring impossibly large, ink black teeth in some twisted simulacrum of a grin.

“I would like to bind you to my will, allowing me to use your power as my own as I see fit.” You fold your arms in front of your chest. “Here is my secret, spirit. I made a deal with the devil himself.”

The spirit's grin splits wider. It throws its head back, cackling wildly. This... isn't exactly the reaction you were expecting. However, you keep your cool. It's probably just putting on airs, or something. Right?

“Very well, oh walker of two worlds. I accept your bargain.” The creature stretches its hand across the counter, and you take it in your grasp. As you pump its hand once, searing pain stretches across your neck. It seems to rip and claw its way up to your jaw line, and down across your shoulders and chest. One massive latticework of knots which eventually stretches across much of your upper body. In the center of which a runic symbol distinguishes itself; twisting, warping, winding in strange geometries.
(1/2)
>>
However, the spirit remains. Much as it was before, seemingly unaffected by the binding. It merely stands before you, grinning that sick, twisted grin. “Now, my master-” The way it says the word, dripping with derision, you get the feeling it doesn't take you seriously. “-I never said you would get to choose the secret you revealed. Indeed, only that a secret would be owed. Thus, I believe I shall call in that debt now.”

You've got a bad feeling about this.

“Tell me, what is your true name?”

Every fiber of your being screams out to answer the spirit. Your very atoms seem to vibrate in time to the forgotten syllables, impossibly twisted sounds no mortal ought to be able to utter. Your muscles tense, forcing the air out of your lungs. Your larynx tenses, vibrating, shaping the sound into the single word that contains the essence of your being. The secrets of your existence. Everything you've ever done, are doing, or will do contained in a single word.

You bite it off, fighting back the urge. It's a struggle, but eventually you manage to seethe out through clenched teeth. “On the... contrary, spirit.” Its grin fades, mouth turning into a hard line. “You merely said 'a secret'.” You feel your strength returning to you, that unseen, vice-like grip on your thoughts loosening. “You never specified when the secret was to be given, nor how, or what it must constitute. I have paid your price sufficiently. Now-”

You feel an uncomfortable charge enter the air as you poise the tip of your tongue against your palate, drawing out the consonant. You feel a strange throbbing in your chest. A hunger you don't recall. You want more. More of everything. More money, more power, more sex, more violence. More food, more drink, more time. More, more. It doesn't matter what, you want more. You'll always want more. You've always wanted more. You'll always want for more. You'll do anything, just to have more.

“-submit.”

In an instant, the tension is gone. The spirit is gone. The bistro with its grotesque confections is gone. You stand alone, in an empty lot. Your car is a short distance away sitting in the grass. You reach a hand up to feel along the new mark on your neck and chest, the runic symbol is slightly raised in comparison to the rest of the black marking. It's centered directly over your Adam's apple.

That strange urging for more, more of everything. You still feel it, though not as intensely. It festers, like rot in the back of your mind. However, with a thought you suppress it. It recedes further into your subconscious, out of your immediate attention. You feel fantastic. You feel powerful, more than anything. Like anywhere in the world is but a step away. Should you only be able to picture it. You want to flex your new-found mystical might. You want to cut loose, for once in your god damned life.

Damn. You responsible gits were just waiting in the wings for us few active players to get heady and try something gaumless, weren't you boys?

Because the only alternative explanation is same-faggotry most foul, and none of those who follow Soma would stoop to such skulduggery, right?

You take on slow, deep breath after another, simply enjoying the smell of gasoline and smog that permeates this part of the city. It burns your sinuses, a coppery scent flooding your senses. Everything seems sharper than it was before. You feel more real, more alive than you ever have before.

On a whim, you turn sharply and stride towards the car, denying your urge. At first, a deep sense of loss fills you. You feel you're betraying yourself on a very basic level. However, the next moment you feel relieved. You feel perfectly in control of yourself. That power still writhes just beneath the surface of your skin, searching for any avenue of escape. However, as your car door clicks unlocked and you slide into the comfortable leather seats of your car even that sensation fades.

The car roars to life in an instant and you gently navigate it out of the field and back onto the road. In just a few moments, you're rocketing down the highway towards the setting sun. Today was a good day, a productive day. You couldn't have hoped for better.

We learned that from soma? You mean when we burned the shit out of our companion? I think that was BQ? Did we ever heal them?

>>35361333
Righteous thread Soma, I dig this quest. So how will we figure out what gluttony's powers are, and what would have happened had we failed that last roll?
>>
>>35361333
So we passed the test right? Would we have raped our wife?
>>
>>35361347
We didn't burn our companion. We burnt our guide. Unless your talking about someone else.
>>
>>35361347
>>35361374
Hahaha, not quite anons, it was arguably worse than that....
>>
>>35361374
I vaguely remember burning a friendly at some point. It was probably our guide then.
>>
>>35361359
I can't reveal too many details, but basically you would've been just as bound to gluttony's will as gluttony was bound to yours.

Fun thread Soma, we are collecting spirits but get no use out of them. We seriously need to put them into practice.

When is Banished? I miss it. Looking forward to the fight and intrigues coming up.

B-b-but, we haven't even got a chance to shoot something! This quest is too young to put on hiatus!
>>
>>35361466
Not a true hiatus, I'll just be focusing on BQ. I don't have the mental or testicular fortitude to truly run 2 quest at once.
>>
>>35361487
I crI erry time, now go answer the questions I only barely remember asking
>>
>>35361487
I am sad now, but that's understandable. Running three times a week is damned impressive as is.

Oh and before I forget, was there any reason we purchased those boxes of 7.62x35mm ammunition earlier?
>>
>>35361554
Ammunition for your PDW which I really need to name at some point.
>>
>>35361587
That is a big bullet for a PDW. I noticed on the pastebin its damage output is listed as low, while the Gewehr (with a similar sized round) has high. That because mr. war makes it shoot warhounds or is our PDW just that crappy?
>>
>>35361587
Just be cheap and say "Not!GenericSpaceCorp brand P.D.W. Mk.8"
>>
>>35361639
Yeah that is a tricky one, whats a generic sounding name for an Eastern European weapons manufacturer? I wonder what was up with those exotic arms Roge was getting from there.
>>
>>35361630
You're thinking of 7.62 NATO and 7.62 Russian. 7.62 x 35 was built to be used in M4's PDW's, and converted sub machine guns. It's known as the .300 Blackout read up. It's a nifty *small* cartridge.
>>
>>35361630
>our laser rifle that melts faces and crushes skulls does less damage
God damn mr. War gives sweet boosts
>>
>>35361685
And that one guy called it a shitty antique.
>>
>>35361725
Guys, guys. I just had an awesome idea. We should get the Gewehr a bayonet. I think it'd make lil' Krieger there a very happy ghost. And we could tap into his martial skill next time we fight a melee monster so we don't have to supplex a bear or something.
>>
>>35361685
We paid 100 American dollars for it.

Fuck your fancy ass future tech, Roge, the 400 year old rifle is the best gun we have.

And we paid pennies for it.

No matter what quest he runs, Soma's MCs are always the ultimate jew.
>>
>>35361759
Anyone got a gif of the bear from hajjime no ippo getting its shit kicked in?
>>
>>35361759
Actually I think the bayonet came included. Not sure Don realized what it was, but we can totally stab bitches with our 400 year old sniper rifle now.
>>
>>35361759
We shoot fire from our hands and have a multitude of guns. If a bear can survive both our boolits abs our flaming fists, I say we cut our loses and run
>>
>>35361805
Actually, apparently most bears can take multiple bullets and still eat your face if they are poorly aimed.
>>
>>35361834
War laugh in face of bear. Bear is nothing in face of war.
>>
>>35361834
Most bears also can be repelled by some simple fire and we have more fire than we know what to do with.
>>
>>35361871
>tfw we are walking flamenwerffer
>>
>>35361179
I knew something like this would happen when I'm in school, FUCK.
>>
>>35361630
Ya' know, Blackout can pierce several inches of hard cover (think brick walls or cement barriers) and eats body armor whether it's weave or ceramic plate. When the going gets tough and physical, I wager the "hidden" effects of the PDW (which is doubtless superb penetration) will make it a handy tool. The sheer number of rounds we can put down will also be handy.
>>
>>35361860
War isn't actually contracted, shadow run it up now. Also we totally need to collect all of the weapons with war spirits infused so we can fuse them into the horseman of war.

Okay, so beyond figuring out the ins and outs of our fire power, and figuring out what Gluttony does. We should I don't know try shooting our rifle or at least seeing what Her War can do beyond speak German and be an overall bro
>>
>>35361904
Didn't that one guy beat a bear to death with a tree branch, making him like the second guy to kill a bear with melee?
>>
>>35361905
Sounds good, with the damage rate of this gun I half expect the bullets to cause an eruption of mustard gas. Oh, and we should totally get Mr. War to spot for us when we shoot.
>>
>>35361904
Bear skulls are massive, reinforced structures have tons of hard tissue (like their dozen pound mouths) It's about the closest thing today to a Tyrannosaurus Rex skull. If we ever fight a bear, we need to go for the eyes with fire or bullet, get elevation, and aim for the back to paralyze as well as kill.
>>
>>35361943
>implying he won't aim for us.
>>
l>>35361919
to kill a bear without modern tools not simply melee
>>
>>35361956
Or we could glutton it with a desire for dirt. Assuming that's how glutton works of course
>>
>>35361943
personally I would love for him to be an "always hit target" rifle. like the dogs of war possess the bullet and it tracks the target

Skelly man said to live our new life to the fullest right? Anyone else wanna become the God king of the universe? or at least Earth. You think that counts? We could also just become a world famous repo man with your sweet skills, working our way up to bounty hunting, then to just being a merc. Donny the red, deaths merchant.

Heh, stuff like this makes me wonder if Soma's imouto follows this quest.

Fuuuuuck.
Good rolls though.
So now we have Cernunnos and Beelzebub.
>>
So, look like we can teleport now? I expect more from him if he was the actual personification of Gluttony though.
Strange how 2 of the spirits we've met have been named after concepts, Gluttony and War.
We should work on getting some clawed guy or something for them natural weapons, at least when we're at the Antarctic.

We really should look more into melee weapons or spirits. At least a tazer-kinfe or something.
