Hey, any of you guys got any tips on dealing with a Behemoth? Got a contract from a local landlord to try and get rid of one of the damned things, and I've got nothing.

Have you tried salting the earth?

Yes. I've also tried firing sanctified bullets at it, but both attempts seemed to piss it off more than anything.

Whatever the landlord is paying you it's gotta be enough to hire like 4 other hunters. You've got to overwhelm it entirely in one encounter or else it'll keep getting more pissed off until takes out a city block or something. Not to be trifled with.

>Whatever the landlord is paying you it's gotta be enough to hire like 4 other hunters.
Oh he had. In fact, he hired a team of five initially, hoping that they'd be able to deal with the thing.
They all died horribly

Tried any banishment rituals or magical seals to keep it trapped in a particular building?

Chainsaw to the head.

>Tried any banishment rituals or magical seals to keep it trapped in a particular building?
Got it trapped for about a minute using some pre-prepped holy ground, but I could barely chip through the things "hide". Honestly, I don't know how or why most hunters would want to deal with one of these things.

These things pay big, maybe the classic rope around the legs and maybe put a harpoon through the eye or something? Gonna have to get creative here.

Behemoth!user here. Alright, so I've got the thing in a cage of runes and wards I set up just a bit earlier, but I have no means of destroying it at the moment. Got any ideas guys?

Maybe a extremely toxic posion coated on a spear, and put it shaft deep in the eye or ear.

That might work. Anyway, since the thing is (mostly) bound, I think I can take a small break here. Tell me about how you hunts are going my fellow Anons.

Fucking awful, I was contracted to put down a undead infestation, So I brought the standard tools of holy symbols, tools to dismember, flamethrowers, the works. But they conveniently left out the fact that it had a fucking Lich raising the dead, I didn't bring the proper tools to kill the damn thing.

Had a client who worked with land development fly me out to Japan after finding some sort of creature in a cave. Asked me to investigate and kill it if it was dangerous, turns out the thing was a damn Oni. Got my pay in advance and recommended wearing onions and setting up some monkey statues.

I hate it when we get all the way out for a job just for it to be a lost cause. On the upside, if there aee any brothers in Okinawa, I have drinking money now.

>But they conveniently left out the fact that it had a fucking Lich raising the dead, I didn't bring the proper tools to kill the damn thing.
This is the reason why, when you present your contract, make sure that your employer tells you absolutely *everything* about what you are going to face. Too many hunters that I've known have died due to a lack of understanding on what they are facing.

From what I've heard, Oni are *ridiculously* strong physically, but because of their lack of general intelligence, it is usually rather east to douse their lairs with holy fire, and watch them burn to death. Preferably whilst they're asleep.

Have fun.

Doomslayer, please.

I know but he had a good rep in the our community.
Since I got time to kill waiting for my tools to be sent here, where do you all get yours?
I usually get mine by 'greasing the wheel' with various wizards, shinto/christian/hindu/jewish priests with rare materials from hunts (I include in my contract the rights to all monster parts)
That fucking lich is dead once my tools are here.

Behemoth!user here again. Gonna try the poisoned spear/knife in the eye thing to kill the bastard. Any recommendations for poisons?

I usually acquisition a few things from old friends in the clergy, a few buddies from back when I was a more conventional soldier. I have made a few friends in the Shinto temples around here, but I'm usually not as well equipped as I could be.

Anyone else get forced to get a little creative sometimes?

I'd say a classic cover-all bases poison, Nightshade, Cyanide, Maybe throw in a little hemlock and arsenic. If you have the connections in the farming realm, maybe some Henbane.

>Since I got time to kill waiting for my tools to be sent here, where do you all get yours?
I get most of my stuff from the Church, and I occasionally get some stuff from friends amongst the Shinto, and Wizard communities. In fact, before I took on the Behemoth job, I was actually trying to find a way to destroy pic related here, after a (very, very dead) friend, 'kindly' dumped it on me.

Whats going on here?

Lich user here, I have picked up a few tricks over the years from wizarding associates, mainly just little tricks to make life easier but to get to the point I had to deal with a baby hydra, since it was a baby I accepted the contract cause fuck killing a adult hydra with its insane regeneration.
But I did not have anything that would stop its lesser but still painful regeneration and I did not want to risk getting close, So I lured the thing into a abandoned building with scraps from local butchers, I detonated the supports in its structure and let the thing get crushed under the weight of a building, Still had to deal with a bunch of bullshit like making sure its blood didn't poison the local water supply and such.

Alright, how the *fuck* did a dragon get on here? I thought you fuckers were too busy screeching over your piles of gold, and how you are "Sooooooo much better than mortal creatures", to even bother coming on here.

I forget to say what I meant on the tricks, basically the area I was in was rather wary on technology, didn't want to upset the local spirits and such so I had to use some alchemy made explosives and set them off with a small spark spell I learnt,

Well EXCUSE me for inspecting the land that i've watched over for over a thousand years.

Lets ask it, it could be a eastern dragon trolling or it could be a legit western dragon, hell it could be even one of the weirder types out there like the ones from south ameirca.

My grandad sorted one of them out back in the day.
To hear him tell the story, you just have to put some dynamite in a waterproof sack, put the sack in a bucket of holy water, light the thing, and hope you can throw it without spilling too mych

Judging from his post here (), seems to be a more Eastern Guardian type, rather than a "burn and pillage" type.

Horrendously. I'm specialising in Undead abominations, and my only clients want me to deal with wretched hellspawn clumsily summoned by shady cults in the basements of the city. My main issue isn't even the wierd demons, it's the summoners themselves. Those guys are a pain, and every single one of them is alive when I kill them. Horrendous, I tell you.

Can any anons help me out here?
My town is too poor to deal with some Barrow Wraiths from the nearby ruins.
Me and some of the other men are going to have to deal with it ourselves and have no idea what we're doing.

Can anyone give me some help here? I'd pay a hunter if I could but I'm late on taxes as it is and I'll be too poor to survive the winter if I do.

Just be as holy as you can. The local priest will probably refuse to go with you, but have him enchant all your equipment and the like. Don't go there unprepared.
Any idea on how those things got here ?

>Can anyone give me some help here?
If you can get any of the residue that the Wraiths usually leave around, you could likely make "oil" from it that *should* make the Wraiths vulnerable to normal weaponry.

The tombs were raided and desecrated a few months back, that might have something to do with it.

Honestly though, I'm not sure. We haven't had much reason to visit and no one has been buried there for a hundred years from what I've heard.

Where are you from?
India? middle east? somewhere poor like that?
We need to know the location so we know what type of holy symbols and such will work on them.
You dont use a shinto symbol against a golem now do you?

General look of the Wraiths? If we have something to base their appearance off of, we can likely trace their origins.

Just unload a shotgun into them. I think it disrupts their forms or some shit like that.

>one of the damned things
I chuckled

Ah, I'll see if I can find any of the stuff tomorrow morning. I'm not risking going near that place at night, the damn things are hard enough to see when they're in the shadows let alone midnight dark.

Anyone else getting sick of working with universities?
I am so sick of frat boys trying to summon succibi. Every time I spend hours getting an accurate description for "that tentacle thing" out of hangover idiots and there is always one guy drunk still that messes with my equipment.
And don't even get me started on that time they actually managed to summon a succubus.

Well from the glimpses of the things I've caught so far they're nothing too special. They're covered from bottom to top in grey robes though, reminds me of some kind of priest's robes. One of my farmhands mentioned that underneath their hoods they've got some kind of strange metal face, like a bronze death mask he said.

I'm in Bulgaria, there's been no work in my town for years though. I make do on my farm but it's only enough to survive from. I've got no clue about Shinto or golems so that sounds like a dead end.

Well, it's Behemoth!user here, and well.....I did it. Stabbed it in the eye with a spear I coated in a mixture of Nightshade, Cyanide, and a bit of my own blood, with maybe a few poisonous mushrooms for luck. It is now screaming and writhing against my wards, whilst a sickly green haze flows off it, and the landscape is warping around me. I think I am going to get the hell out of dodge.

Did you mistake a high level nature spirit for a behemoth? thats the only reason I can think of.
Death masks?
What is the history of the religions in your area? is there a jewsih presents or it is predominantly chistian?

Mainly Orthodox Christian around here. There's a few Muslims but no Jews here as far as I can tell. Mainly Christian all the way through history though. Unless we're counting the Turks pushing North but that didn't change my area's religion.

>Did you mistake a high level nature spirit for a behemoth?
Nope, fairly certain it was demonic. The screaming faces manifesting across all of the trees, and roots tells me everything I need to know.

Alright, still stuck in Evil Forestville. Anything happen whilst I was running for my life?

...

have you tried fire?

and some types need reliable help

I'm literally burning my way through now, but the roots are trying to block my path, and some are trying to strangle and impale me. The screaming is like a constant drone too. Anybodyou have any idea on what this thing is?

someone that involves plants
if fire doesnt work try ice

>if fire doesnt work try ice
No need now. I've escaped, and I've left that -thing- to burn. Its still screaming too, and God is it awful. I think I'm going to take a breather, and just try to get my bearings. Maybe catch a short nap, and then I'm going to go give that landlord a piece of my damn mind.

Silver hypodermic needle and saline solution into a vein.

Bit late there my fellow Anons. Already killed the bastard, and roasted it and that damn forest for good measure. Gonna try and get some rest, before setting out for that landlord bastard. Feel free to talk about your other hunts until I wake up.

Just finished a job where I was contracted to deal with a succubus. Problem was, there wasn't just one succubus like I was led to believe. There were six.
Keeping in mind that I was paid in advance by the priest of a rather small village, should I demand more?

All y'all talking about demons and monsters, yesh big deal, they're obvious about their evil and intents.

Try taking out a siren or a unicorn.

>Keeping in mind that I was paid in advance by the priest of a rather small village, should I demand more?
Nah. Succubi reproduce like fucking crazy. I'm honeslty not surprised he didn't tell you about the number of them, he likely -didnt- know exactly how many there were. Best other try and do a clean swipe though. Letting even one of those things get away can cause a whole load of trouble of you in the future.

What are your go to weapons?

Personally I keep on me at all times my trusty silvered halbered and a pistol loaded with silvered hollowpoints.

Something I've also found rather effective is mixing sticky sap with flammable oils, and adfing in a little extra something depending on what's needed at the time (cold iron shavings, silver powder, salt, ammonia, garlic extract, ect).

I have some Swords and daggers that have been blessed and enchanted, as well as a shotgun I load with salt rounds, and sometimes silver for some of the more 'difficult' monsters. I also take some holy water, and sealing lips with me from time to time.

...

Demand more. If they want free work then they should swallow their pride and beg.

Shotgun.

Alright, Behemoth!user here again. Currently resting in a little shack I found, and patched up. My body is covered in burns and bruises, but I'll live, probably. Anyway, anyone willing to share their weirdest, most fucked up Demon encounters?

...

I like these threads.

They are certainly enjoyable.

>using that dogshit name

Fucking demon propaganda.

Good ol' sword, dagger, and chainmail, all blessed by a priest and enchanted by a wizard.
When the thing is big enough, I move to higher firepower, just like that other user said : shotgun, and explosives.

Summoners-hunting user here. My whole team was either killed or imprisoned, and we underestimated the corrupted state of the city. The church is forming some kind of new inquisition, and things have started to get real messy.

>My whole team was either killed or imprisoned, and we underestimated the corrupted state of the city. The church is forming some kind of new inquisition, and things have started to get real messy.
Geez, sounds bad user. Any idea on what they are trying to summon?

The few summoners I've met really weren't competent enough to give me any insight, but apparently there's a lot of blood-related rituals going on, and I might have seen traces of Hellfire in one of the caves (but we have a shady wizard with us... He managed to get away when the scared farmers surrounded us)

Soooooo, you blowing the town up or what? If you want i can come over and help with the explosives

how thin is the barrier between worlds?
has it made itself manifest in anyone elses presence who was not initiated?

really depends on where you are, in some places it's thin, in some very thick. If you are unlucky you can even fall through in someplaces

Lead it someplace clean, where there are winds or water. That will diffuse its essence.

>how thin is the barrier between worlds?
Depends on the area in question. If it's a sight where holy power is known to permeate, it's usually very strong, and holds up well against Demonic assault. In places like say Stonehenge however, or places where mass-sacrifices or other dark shit has been performed, it is usually much, -much- weaker, allowing all manner of terrors to spill through into our world.

If it is as you say it is, it is eroding the barrier as we speak.

oops, forgot my trip

I remember when i had a job in russia, never fucking again. What i was told is that there are some cultists, they need to be cleaned up. You know, easy beginner shit, grab a rifle, unload, sanctifai the place and tell the local priest to pray there every week and spill holy water around. Turns out it was some bloody druid ritual oak circle there, and the people were already preparing to summon some major daemons. Thank god there are always at least a few hunters in russia that can help you out

Our world has always been on the brink of annihilation in one way or another, constantly teetering on the edge of apocalypse. That's why we exist. To slightly tip thinks in our favor, at least for a while. Anyway, I'm going to sleep now. With any luck we can continue our discussions in the morning.

Blessed and warded gasmask and hazmat suit. Sodium-tipped crossbow bolts to cause caustic reactions with any water, and some chlorine gas to form salt inside the fuckers.

A good pistol with silver bullets, a blessed dagger some holy water and combustion grenades. Cant go wrong with that setup.

If we're talking about blowing the town up, the church is most likely going to do that before you, but I appreciate the help. My main concern is rescuing my teammates, and getting the hell out of here before we get lumped together with the dark business by the powers that be. This is too big for us to handle for now.

Tell me where you are, maybe ill know someone who is clouse and can come with some backup

Some old, backwards place in the extreme north of Scotland. Our base of operations is in some unnamed islands barely visited by fishermen.
I'd be glad to have some help, but if someone comes, they better be prepared for trouble. Apparently there's going to be about a hundred people from the church, and they won't be taking a lot of prisoners.
Our own reinforcements won't be there for another week at least.

hmm i might know a few guys, they arnt in the buissnes but the know their way in a firefight and might be at least a distraction so you can work something out, can you tell me anything more on how to find you, what do the fisherman call it or where is the clousest place that my people can get to, to start looking for you, i'd probobly be able to get them to you within a day or two

Alright, Behemoth!user here again. Just woke up from getting pretty well fucked over last night. Gonna go meet with the landlord now. How much should I charge the bastard for all of the crap I went through last night?

Usual rates are the cost of expended equipment multiplied by half the hours needed to vanquish. I'd maybe have you toss in a month's rent if the bastard's house was under direct threat of destruction.

Also, I ran out of cleansing salts for my holy water, and had to make due with some of that Pink Himalayan stuff for post-monster cleanup, and I think I didn't quite get all of it off. It's been a couple of days, and I feel kinda funny. How screwed am I?

get someone with a more magical bent to throw it back to hell or whatever other world is easy to reach. Killing them is a pain in the ass, plus if it comes back you can get paid to deal with it again.

Piss off. This board has just become more and more cancerous with each thing you fuckers remove from here. Next thing you know, you remove all worldbuilding threads just so that you can circlejerk in peace without any negative creative input.

>ever leaving the material plane

>How screwed am I?
Depends on the monster in question. What exactly did you face user. Cause if it was something like a Cockatrice, or God help you, a Basilisk, then you may very well be fucked.

Oh, Scotland.

Nabbed a pendant off a wannabe cultist up in Scotland the other day, was thinking of taking it to a researcher friend of mine down in London, but I'm having second thoughts because the damn thing's started bleeding something chronic.

Normally I wouldn't have a problem with this, but I just got new gear and who knows who, or what, this blood came from.

>Pic from before it started fucking up my whites.

Welshfag reporting in.

Live next to the beach, been hearing some pretty weird sounds from the caves on the coast.

Thing is, I don't even think we've had any problems with the Fae around this area before. Any ideas on what it might be?
