Legend
You stand in the middle of the carnage as your orcs run a riot, pillaging, killing and raping. You go to a house that you used to know well
You look at the bodies at an older couple. A dagger is in the man's hand. You pick it up and examine it. By the positions, he was trying to protect her, but of course failed. They haven't been dead long and the orcs looting the place are still here. You snarl at them to get out, to which they comply immediately.
You couch down and bow your head over them, with the dagger still in hand.
"(Sigh) Never did get to say a proper goodbye." You say with a little regret.
"Yeah it would've been great to be able to kill your own parents."
"I'm so tired "
"Mmm, maybe you should rest for awhile. Don't worry pal, I'll alert you if someone tries to do something to us."
"Uh huh. You can't wait to take over. It's what you've always planned. I'm not fooled. I feel your corrupting influence growing stronger even now and I can barely fight it off. This battle, the destruction of my former home, parents dead it's all been a drain."
Azoth once again takes a more authoritative tone with you.
"And? You were the fool who embraced me in those ruins over a year ago! You desired power and adventure, and I provided! Now it's time for my payment! I've been stuck inside this gem for too long, and while having your body to move around is an improvement, you're just still too independent. I need it ALL, and you WILL give it to me!"
"Azoth, I've had enough of your orders" you say in a calm but tired voice before you dig the dagger deep into your hand with the gem in it.
"NO! NOT NOW! YOU WILL NOT DEFY ME!" a booming voice shouts in your head causing you great pain, but you persevere with your task.
AZOTH
MIND: 13
STAMINA: 5
This isn't a traditional fight obviously as you're attempting to dig into your own hand. Each time you win, Azoth loses 1 STAMINA, but so do you. Losing a round of combat results in losing 3 STAMINA points.
If you're a technologist, you a little more resistant to Azoth and he only has 11 MIND points instead.
There's no retreat from this one, this is for your life and soul.
