Non-Canon Omake: What really happens inside of Wilhelm's Soul. (Patreon)

Finding out that a bunch of other entities took up residence in my soul, what else was there to do?

“Alright, I’m going to roll a perception check.” I stated, tossing my dice. “12.”

“12…” Musū Tengai paused, looking down at some papers. “You notice that the cave is oddly dry despite the heavy rains you suffered the last few nights. But that is all.”

“I would like to cast Glimpse of Evil.” Meridia spoke, clutching her own dice.

“You cast Glimpse of Evil, giving you sight beyond your own. Any evil creature within 40 yards is known to you. However, nothing appears.” Musū Tengai replied.

“Enough with this!” Odin slammed his fist on the table. “The great Berserker Grimmar isn’t a coward! I rush into the cave with my battle axe, ready for battle!”

“ah fuck, I realized what’s going on.” Ddraig covered his face with his claw.

“Roll for me.” Musū Tengai ordered.

Odin, the great All-Father threw his dice. “…..1.” He said quietly.

Musū Tengai nearly laughed. “With a blind fury, you rush into the cave as something didn’t quite feel right, you were on edge. Your boisterous roar as you charged forward awakened something. Something ancient opened a single eye, its red iris illuminating the cave with a soft blaze. You then realize what monster you have awoken as flame spew from its nostrils, revealing what hid in the darkness. You find a Dragon, in all its glory staring down at you.

“Oh god dammit!” I threw my arms up. “Wait, how did Meridia not detect that?”

“I would too like to know.” Meridia asked.

“Most Dragons aren’t Evil.” Ddraig shrugged.

“Ddraig is right, Dragons are more natural calamities than evil entities. With exceptions, of course. But you no more call a wolf evil for hunting a deer, than a Dragon does hunting to satiate its own stomach.” Musū Tengai clarified.

“Joy, the one-eyed bastard woke it up.” Meridia drawled.

“I can handle this!” Odin huffed. “Grimmar is a hero worthy of Valhalla! A mere Dragon can not defeat him. Do I have an action or does the beast wish to start combat?” He asked towards our vaunted Dungeon Master.

“The Dragon, waking up after so long, is confused as to your presence. It does not attack immediately, and silently stares at you.” Musū Tengai elaborated.

“Alright, alright, we have a chance.” I tapped the table impatiently.

“What every you do –”

“I attack the beast with my axe!” Odin roared, cutting off Meridia.

“You idiot!” She spat out.

“Roll.” Musū Tengai smiled.

“…..four.” Odin whispered.

“We’re fucked.” I sighed.

“You swing your mighty Axe with such fury and ferocity that songs would have been spoken of your prowess, had you not deemed to do so against a Dragon. Your axe collided with the Dragon’s mighty scales and snaps, leaving no damage done to the beast. However, what would have been a peaceful and amicable Dragon, is now utterly furious. Roll for initiative.”

“You damn fool!” Meridia scowled.

“Wait!” Ddraig held up his claw.

“You have an action before combat, Ddraig?” Musū Tengai asked.

“I am a Dragonkin.” He puffed up proudly. “I attempt to seduce the dragon.”

“…..you’re lucky that I already decided that the Dragon was Female.” Musū Tengai grumbled. “Roll.” He sighed. “And give me your best attempt, if you say something good, I’ll give you an extra point on your roll.”

Ddriag cleared his throat. “I’m sorry for intruding on your lair, Great Dragoness. I understand if my friend here enraged you enough to burn us all alive. I do not ask for forgiveness, only that you grant this poor Dragonkin one act of mercy. Let me gaze upon your beautiful scales for even a moment longer, and I will be content with whatever end comes for me.”

“….not bad.” I had to acknowledge.

“Who do you think you’re talking to? I’ve been laying down Dragonessess before you were even born!”

Ddraig looking confident, he clutched his dice between his claws and tossed them onto the table. “…..3.”

“The Dragon’s name is apparently Tiamat, negating any chance at your seduction.” Musū Tengai replied.

“Dick!” Ddraig pouted.

“Right then, there goes that…..can I roll another perception check?”

Musū Tengai shrugged. “Go ahead.”

“11.” I stated, looking at the dice I just rolled.

“It’s a Dragon.” Musū Tengai stated.

“Well, we’re right fucked, aren’t we?”

“I did say Ancient Dragon.” Musū Tengai reiterated.

“Do you have a plan, Wilhelm?” Meridia asked.

“Die horribly?”

“We could run while the one-eyed fool attempts to fight it.” Meridia offered.

“I will slay the beast!” Odin slammed his fist on the table.

“With what weapon?” Meridia countered.

“….I’m working on it.” The God scowled.

“Alright, I have a plan!” I clapped my hands. “I would like to make an action before combat.”

Musū Tengai gestured for me to continue. “This is the last action then we roll for initiative, choose wisely.”

“I attempt to seduce the Dragon.”

“Oh come on.” Musū Tengai sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose. “Proceed, same as Ddraig.”

“Really, Brat? Why do you think you’re going ot succeed where I failed?” Ddraig scoffed.

“No faith.” I shook my head, juggling the 20 sided dice in my hand. “Swiggity swooty, I’m coming for that Dragon booty!” I threw it across the table. “18!”

“Thank god, it’s not enough.” Musū Tengai sighed in exasperation. “The Dragon –“

“Wait…” Meridia groaned. “I would like to make it known that I do this with as much hate I could possible possess….I cast Divine Radiance on him, giving him a +2 to his Charisma roll.”

“Woo!” I cheered.

“Dammit, fine!” Musū Tengai threw his hands up. “The Dragon is swooned by your mastery of the common language and falls heads over heels for you.”

“That’s bullshit.” Ddraig huffed.

“It’s called charm, Ddraig. Ever head of it?” I said smugly.

“I also attempt to Seduce the Dragon.” Odin spoke up.

“Why!?” Musū Tengai groaned.

“I won’t be out done by a brat! This beast needs a real man!”

“Roll.” Musū Tengai Seethed.
