Previous Thread: Players of slayers! What reason did YOUR dwarf have for taking the oath? What did the party do if or when they found out? Did they die well?
>Denied permanent form by the Great Changer, the daemon prince had found a way to turn his curse into a gift. Every time Archaon’s blessed blade nicked, stabbed or sliced through the abomination’s flesh it was the emptiness of shadow. Whenever Be’lakor’s huge blade came down at the Chaos warrior, however, the daemon prince momentarily assumed all the monstrous brawn and infernal ire of his physical form. How Archaon could defeat such a creature– that was at once everything and nothing– he did not know. While his mind reeled with the futility of the task, his father-in-shadow proceeded to press his diabolical advantage.
Remember when these threads were comfy? I hope whoever called them dead back then is happy now.

>The centre of the chamber had been scoured bare. The altar was gone. There was no sign of the sorcerers, the warpstone sigil, or anything else for that matter besides a hole in the ground. Power crackled across the chamber, incandescent flares licking the walls and causing stone to dribble like fat. Black horrors gambolled without purpose, slapping into columns and each other as the walls shook. And in the midst of their disarray, a dark angel wavered like smoke.
>It was Be’lakor.
>The daemon prince was almost as large as the Beast, larger still if one counted its leathery wingspan or the jagged height of its black crown. But where that degraded monster had been a rounded mass of malformed muscle and bone plates, Be’lakor was lithe, his powerful body sculpted in volcanic glass. That statuesque might was now hunched, as though wounded, bat wings cocooning its body. How it had come to be hurt, Felix could only hazard. Gotrek’s axe passed through the daemon’s leg trailing a wisp of black smog.
>The daemon laughed coldly, the creak of glacial ice. ‘You have taken my army, you have beaten my champion. My ritual has been spoiled but not ruined.’ The daemon’s voice was sonorous and smooth, but just a voice now that it did not cross planes. The chamber trembled, sending dust through the daemon’s body. It chuckled darkly, as though tickled. ‘I will be free. I may find myself five years past or five hundred. It is but a turning of the world to an immortal.’
>‘We’re both here now, you sack of steam.’ Gotrek made another swing. The runes of his axe flared with a frustrated brilliance as they clove through the smoke that was the daemon prince, Be’lakor. ‘Fight me now and have done.’
>Be’lakor continued to fade. Only an outline remained, shadow upon shadow, a hint of a crown. ‘Your doom is coming. Trust that when it nears, it will be my hand that guides it.’

Dude, ghosts and wraiths in WHFB work the same way as Be'lakor except for the fact that Be'lakor can also make holy and tainted weapons phase through him as well.
One added piece of information. Be'lakor is older than all the rites and words of banishment and exorcism. This makes him resistant to such magics.

It's confirmed in the novel that the Changeling adopted the form of Be'lakor to undermine his operations.
Also Be'lakor can split his essence to create shadow clones of himself. When Archaon tried to seal him in a dwarf sword, Be'lakor split into hundreds of Be'lakor and each one tried to flee.
Also keep dreaming. Lizards cannot touch Be'lakor. It's known.
Brayden Gonzalez

Probably because you're a dumbass rock-poster. The only way to beat a troll is to ignore it. You really think he'd keep posting if you just ignored him?

Ryder Morris
Dude, daemon princes are always connected to their origin point in reality. That's why they can exist in reality/mortal plane longer (sometimes indefinitely) than normal daemons. The fact that mortal Be'lakor was born in primordial times before any word of banish or rite of exorcism was invented and written makes daemon Be'lakor resistant to those kind of magics.
It make sense to me. As Lucifer of the setting, he should be unique among the daemons.

Eli James
>so why shouldn't it work the same with exorcism?
Think of banishment magic as an antibody/vaccine. Be'lakor is an ancient disease that exists before these were invented. So the antibodies/vaccines that were created after his time would have lesser effects on him since his essence is stranger and incompatible to these magics.
>Lucifer is a little bitch that gets blown the fuck out repeatedly. That's pretty much his job.
And it happens to be Be'lakor job as well. Fail to pave way for the story progress and the hour of the Antichrist.
Robert Adams
Daemons are fragments of mortal thoughts and feelings. Words of banishment will work if a mortal belives they will and that is part of the daemon's essence. Be'lakor is too old and strong though, he predates the concept so it's not baked into him.
Levi Bennett

How does it not make sense.
A modern day vaccine for a disease won't work on the same kind of disease 1000 years ago. Be'lakor is a primordial daemon. The first of his kind. The rules that ably to daemons that came after him don't all apply to him.
Oliver Carter

He isn't immune to them. He just happens to very resistant.

Cooper Brooks
>If one could read minds through the computer, that would be the ideal situation.
Because Carnac uses totally fresh and original material all the time, right? He's not been posting about Archaon and Be'lakor for years at this point, correct? Just stop. Trying to outsmart him does't work, trying to out meme him doesn't work, trying to out autisim him doesn't work. Just do not reply.
Blake Rogers
>A modern day vaccine for a disease won't work on the same kind of disease 1000 years ago. that's why you make a different vaccine for the other disease

Adrian Rodriguez
Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away. Letting Carnac go unchallenged is stupid.
Luke Long
Hmm intersting, guess we'll have to wait and see how good the game will be. Still hoping that some day there will be witcher-like RPG set in the Old World
Brayden Young
Here is the issue. Nobody knows how to make a vaccine for Be'lakor. His essence is incomprehensible to everyone but the gods who created him. So they stick with what they know. True that the words of banishment are less effective against him, true that they will take a longer time and more energy to work, true that he will likely kill you before you are finished, but that's all you got.
Brayden Bailey
>Ignoring a problem doesn't make it go away.
Not problems in general no, but definitely trolls. You know he's trying to annoy you and get you to reply to him. You're part of the problem if you reply. If you didn't reply he'd get bored and leave.
>Letting Carnac go unchallenged is stupid.
How? It's obviously the smartest option, challenging him is what Veeky Forums has been doing for years, and it has never ever worked. Thinking that it will at this point is insane.
Blake Martinez
Don't people need the real name of the daemon to banish him?
Tyler Morales
It's one form of banishment magic, yes. Saying the true name of a daemon gives you power over it, to banish or command it. However, no one in WHFB knows the true name of Be'lakor. It's lost to history.
Kayden Lee
That makes sense
Xavier Flores
God, I hope so.
Ryan Harris
Nah, rocks will do it.

I don't think he is a even troll like you say he is. If we let him do as he pleases then people might start believing the things he says.

He obviously is.
>If we let him do as he pleases then people might start believing the things he says.
So? How many new people do you think genuinely come here? Not a lot is my guess. Those that do might see a post or two saying BE'LAKOR #1 ALSO ARCHAON #1 and if they think that so what?
That's assuming he bothers to post those initial posts once people stop taking the bait.

>You think you are the first to bear such dark honours? Be’lakor asked, the question like a scorpion’s sting. You are a nothing. Born of nothing. The hollow fruit of an empty womb. All that you are I put in there. But think not that I afford you any affection for that. My half-breeds roam the world. Thousands more serve me not in flesh but in deed. They carry my mark. They live for my favour. They know their place. They do not carp and question. They serve the darkness of this world through the darkness they find in themselves. They serve their father-in-shadow– the darkness that is Be’lakor, you worthless wretch. As you should.
Father of a thousand thousand half daemon children.
-----
Anyways, here is a cool move from Be'lakor. He can phase his body parts inside people and then solidify them.
>Indeed, the Chaos warrior had stoked the fires of his father’s daemonic fury. More than he could know– for seconds later the colossal shadow sword passed straight through him in a murderous arc of darkness and gore. The armour of the Everchosen remained untouched by the blade that had simply solidified as it had cut Archaon in two within his plate. The Chaos warrior’s legs took two more stumbling steps before collapsing beneath him. In a cacophonous clatter, Archaon reached the floor, coming to a stop on his side. With his final, dust-choked breaths he watched the hulking abomination that was Be’lakor tower over him, the muscular black flesh of his chest rising and falling with effort and a father’s regret.
Michael Lopez
So does that make him a cuntboy? I know daemonettes are futas but that only makes them better, so how does he fare in that department? Can he be buttpregnant?

Owen Evans
>not doubting it, but where are its children?
Be'lakor can only enter into the world by being summoned by a mortal. These mortal children can fulfil this function. Also Be'lakor's whenever he manifests is quickly attended to by mortal servants at a snap of finger. Many of them could be his half-breed daughters and sons.
Brandon Smith
Just remember something.
Prince Ograx and Vilitch the Curseling had the mark of Be'lakor upon them. Both were his secret agents. Both could have been his children.
Liam Wright
