Path to the Grail, continued

The Magic SOB forum is for posts of story sequences that are frequently vignette-based. Put those here while actual battle reports can go in Reports From the Field.
You must talk like James T. Kirk in this forum at all times. Leonard Nimoy is fine too.

PILTOGG: Firing all batteries. No, crewman, do not attempt to assist.


Image

PILTOGG: I should have known. No wonder everyone is suddenly incompetent.


Image

PILTOGG: It's the fucking Allied Nations.

ALLIED NATIONS PACIFICATION VESSEL: This is the Allied Nations / United Systems Ripper, hailing the Akkadian flagship DethStar. Our A.N. Amygdalar-Limbic Disruptors are locked on your vessel. You may have noticed the effects on your crew. I advise you to stand down before they suffer permanent Pacification.

Your building skill continues to amaze me.
I really enjoy following this story.

PILTOGG: Faking the destruction of the Allied Nations, stockpiling their reserves of Orange Transparent, and using it to build a warship-sized spinning OTC blade -- all to disrupt the Medivo radiation and protect your technology. Such a cheap bullshit tactic, I'm almost jealous I didn't think of it myself.

ALLIED NATIONS PACIFICATION VESSEL: That's right! Little did you realize, the Allied Nations faked its own destruction in order to -- d'oh!


Image

CAPTAIN RANUKER: Let's start over. This is Captain Ranuker of the A.N.U.S. Ripper. Under the guise of intergalactic diplomacy, A.N.U.S. has gathered the technology, resources, and cheap bullshit tactics of a hundred star empires, in order stop any empire or minifig who tries to concentrate too much awesomeness in one place and risk destroying reality, as the Deadly SpaceMen did when they shattered the First BrikVerse. And which you are already on the verge of repeating, Emperor Piltogg of Akkadia!

PILTOGG: WHAT!!! THIS IS IMPOSSIBLE!


Image

PILTOGG: I'VE BEEN TALKING TO A FURRY THIS WHOLE TIME!?!?

RANUKER: Yes!! In order to counteract BrikVerse-destroying overloads of awesomeness, A.N.U.S. will resort to any anti-awesome means necessary, including furries! Even now, our Pacification is breaking through your last defenses -

PILTOGG: Wait, who's that behind you?

RANUKER: Like I'd fall for that trick!

PILTOGG: No, seriously.


Image

RANUKER: Oh, him. Allow me to introduce Peacenik, the Pacifass - the most concentrated source of anti-awesomeness in existence! With the power of the Nega-NegaVerse -

PILTOGG: No, not him! The other guy. Is that - could it be?


Image

PILTOGG: Is that Lux Jehoel?


Image

JEHOEL: Hello again, Paladin of Purity.

Jehoel, called the Angel of Presence, the chief of the Seraphim, Choirmaster who guides the angels in singing god's praises, said to have principal control over fire, charged with restraining the Leviathan, oft associated with the archangel Michael, said to either be associated with or actually be Metatron himself.

An exceedingly well chosen name. Perhaps a missed opportunity for a joke in "Elhoel" though.
I love Piltogg's face there.

I wonder if Jehoel is a spy, there to either take out the ship he's on or maybe suss out the situation. Or maybe a Fallen Angel in disguise. Or maybe he just wants revenge on Piltogg. Hmm.

I'm trying to remember here, but didn't you build that AN ship quite some time ago Mike? If I am remembering correctly, then the "sawteeth", or OT boulders, actually move like a chainsaw, as in motorized movement.

Yup, it was demo'd a while back and it can totes spin.

Looking pretty snazzy so far Mike, great job!

Edit: the notion of the AN seeking power to make things boring resonates with me greatly, as one who finds the whole idea/necessity of said establishment soulcrushingly dull.

So their weapons and laser cannons of fuck you will actually work in the vicinity of Medivo.

Right? Piltogg's about to be wondering the same thing. I'm trying to figure out if I can make a flashback scene minifig of Piltogg's pre-Akkadian days as a Paladin:

Image

I can get pretty close by just inverting a Dimmy in Photoshop. Which now makes me wonder. NEW THEORY: Was Piltogg originally a Nega-Dimmy? In the NegaVerse, Dimmies are horrifyingly intelligent, hated by all the Nega-inhabitants for their unnatural genius and skill. If he were a 'closeted' self-loathing Nega-fig, It would explain his hatred of the Nega-Bloktrix and his obsessive desire to purify the ABS of the BrikVerse.

Also. I've decided that thing in his hand looks like a jawbone with a handle on it (?). Not sure how I'm going to make that yet. Given that his Paladin adventures took place in the ancient BrikVerse, I'm thinking of styling him after the batshit Samson of Judges 15 rather than the Paladins' modern power armor look.

Although, now that we have Chima lion heads, Hercules isn't a bad option either.

Previous: Little did you realize...

Image

PILTOGG: Jehoel! I haven't seen you since that business with Nega-BlokTrix! But what are you doing hanging out with those A.N. dogs? They hardly seem like your type of crowd.

JEHOEL: Indeed. But I go where I'm needed.


Image

JEHOEL: A duty you and I shared once, before you turned your back on the Great Builder.


Image

JEHOEL: Discoverer of Running Five Miles and slayer of nine thousand men with the jawbone of a wolf, you became one of the first of our Paladins in those ancient days.

PILTOGG: Nine thousand and one.

JEHOEL: If you count the troglodyte Asterios as a man, then yes. It's over nine thousand.


Image

JEHOEL: Your victories against the NegaBlok invasion are legendary; Paladins still speak with reverence about That Time You Got Hit by a Car but Rolled Out of It.

PILTOGG: Those were better times.

JEHOEL: But the battle with Nega-BlokTrix changed you. Rather than slaying her, you let her buy her freedom with an Artifakt, and the seed of avarice took root in your heart.


Image

JEHOEL: You've turned away from Purity and the Greater Good, and for what? So that you can become so OP that battle itself no longer has a point? We've seen the farce you made of the Artogat Sector!

PILTOGG: I guess we'll find out, won't we? No oversized OTC can keep me from discovering what happens when the Artifakts are combined, not while I'm holding the Original OTC to rule them all.

JEHOEL: Never mind that you're destroying the BrikVerse in the process; by gathering all the Artifakts to yourself, you're rendering awesomeness itself lame! This goes against everything we've fought for!

RANUKER: That's right you two, keep talking! While you're reminiscing, the Incompetence Cannon has almost broken through the final shielding of the Teleportation Accelerator. We may not be able to project enough of a Skill Penalty to cancel out Piltogg's bonuses from the Sword of Inhuman Strength, but that Oktopus you're depending on to power all the DethStar's systems won't be so lucky!

PILTOGG: You peachfucker!

I can see why Panda Ranuker would really have a grudge against this blue guy.

It was obly once I started wondering why the captain wasn't named Razgriz that I realized that he was Panda Ranuker.
