Meanwhile on Demon Hunter Veeky Forums

He sorta looks like.......well, pic related. He's a sweet kid though, probably couldn't harm a fly.

>that scary flesh bound book?
I swear if one of you idiots dug up the Necronomicon again...

I highly doubt -anyone- is that stupid user.

God knows his own. Kill your friend and the archdemon and the host should separate.
Unless he was an asshole.
C'mon, time's wasting. He could start to like having an archfiend attached to him, and then it's too late.

Seen a case like that years back; young farmhand had gotten himself caught in a nest of succubi. Took me four days, and I lost a hand (it grew back), but we got him out while he could still breathe. Nine months later, baby like yours shows up in a crib.... along with a deaththreat for yours truly.

Son, did you not wear your runic amulet while up in the Appalachian Mountains?

My only advice would be to either neuter him before he gets pulling pigtails, or get him a hobby like woodcutting, model trains, or tabletop roleplaying. We don't need this thing breeding anytime soon.

You've got yourself an Eastern Cyclops there. Unlike Western or "True" Cyclopses, Eastern Cyclopses are human-sized and naturally civilized; they can integrate fully into human society.
However, like all nonhuman children, parenting has its challenges. For Eastern Cyclopses, the biggest issue is their prescient ability to see the future. These abilities develop during puberty, and can be very disconcerting when they first become manifest. Make sure that he gets educated about what is going to happen to him and when.

Nah, this definetely isn't a Perciever half-demon, although they do look very similar to Eastern Cyclopses. You can tell by the lack of a 6th finger on each hand, the length of the tail, and the fact that the feet are not cloven hooves.

Well I mean, I'm trying to find a way to *not* kill him and to hopefully save his soul from being devoured by some sadistic demon deity, but that hope seems to be getting dimmer and dimmer. Especially since it seems to be destroying his body the longer it remains within him

user, there's always an stoned idiot out there who thinks it'd be a real laugh to go dig up a weird fleshbound book and read their contents out loud.

Trust me, I've seen it too many times now.

Do you have a master abjuruer with you? There are magic circles that can lock your friend into a magical stasis. This will get you some time to get a master exocist to deal with your friend; You'll probably want to call up those guys at the Holy Sepulchure, but they don't come cheap.

Hold up. It's already destroying his body?

Your friend's a goner user. The only thing to do now is deal with the archdemon inside him the good ol' fashioned way:

With a boomstick.

I'll let him know then. He's playing with some butterflies outside right now. I think he's talking to them.

Something to note, their eyes are (obviously) very sensitive, and can be subject to many unusal diseases. The most common that you'll see is kinda like the cyclops verison of a cold; his eye will fill up with gunk and mucus, and will often become stuck shut as the eyelashes become stuck together.
This buildup can be cured by pouring eyedrops made of salt water and lemon juice directly into the eye. This doesn't damage the eye, but as one would expect, it hurts like hell.

Uhm, DH/tg/, I could use a little help.

I've got this... girl trapped in the basement. At least I hope she's trapped. The chains on the basement door aren't doing much to keep her from doing this all the time.
Pic related.

>we're
She's possessed, but she's not far gone enough that the merging is total. Go and buy a couple gerry-cans of gasoline, pour them all over the place, and set the house on fire..

Ooooh that right there is a doozy of cat 3 manifestation.

Two paths to go here, no judgement either way parenting is hard.

Option 1. Lure the child in to a prepared secure remote location. You will need to have prepared a shaft that is at least 14 feet deep and lined with pure resonant materials, preferable gold or a silver and jade mix, if you're on a budget you can probably get away with blessed brass as long as you're willing to inscribe some sutras to make up the difference. Over the shaft you have the trap, nice looking play area, ice cream and your hellspawn's favourite kind of live stock. Now to ensure a good seal you're going to need petards above the drop zone to create a strong enough shock wave to force him down, you don't want to trust gravity on this one, and you need to sequence the push charge with some seal charges at the edge of the pit to complete the seal, timing is everything, the explosives aren't there for damage they are precision moving implements. Once you have the little tyke in the pit triple seal, remember that's concrete, lead, concrete, silver, concrete on each of those seals don't skimp on the separation layer. Then lay in a small shrine and a crossroad and that should hold for approx 100 years (ymmv based on local weather and dark cult activity).

Option 2. Now this is trickier and only has a limited success threshold but we've started seeing some decent results from raising cat 3 in a disciplined environment with a supervised controlled diet (Low fat, low sugar, low oil, absolutely no pets) and a strong ethical code, studies show the morality portion is unimportant as long as you set firm rules and are unwavering on them. Now this means no backing down to tantrums, you have to stay strong and roll through the fireballs because if you slide on a rule at all it's now meaningless to them. Ensure you socialise the cat 3, but only in safe, controlled, non-flammable environments.

It's a bit of a longshot but have you tried to do a hard samsaric reboot from his back up in the akashic record?

Depending on how gone he is the entity may have already started retro actively altering his time stamps to changed the perceived history on the length of possession but if you get lucky you might be able to snap him back to a previously uncorrupted state, although he's likely to lose at least five years if the body is already starting to degenerate.

Pro tip. If this works don't forget that your ritual team, and with any luck your friends back up will now be standing in the room with an unconstrained corporeal form of the archdemon, dress and prepare appropriately for this.

Salt water and lemon juice. Got it.

How exactly did you end up with a possessed girl in your basement user?

And for your own sake screen your optometrists, you do not, I repeat not, want to deal with migraine tantrums just cause some fucko forgot to check his sensitivity on his octerine receptors.

Well, technically speaking this isn't MY basement. I just stumbled on this cabin after hearing the screams of a girl from an abandoned house I pass by all the time.

I may or may not have been stoned when I found this chick trapped in the basement. Started to undo the chains but decided against it after she grabbed at my legs and started growling like a rabid dog.

Also, there's a weird book laying open on the table. No idea what it says, and I sure as hell ain't touching it to find out.

>but she's not far gone enough that the merging is total
Are you sure about that? It looks like a total merging to me!

I am seriously just considering bugging out here. She's been testing the strength of those chains a lot since I posted this, and I do not want to be around when she finally gets loose.

>Are you sure about that? It looks like a total merging to me!
Fuck, that's bad. If she's powerful enough that it looks like a full merging, but their minds are separate enough that they use plural pronouns, that can only mean one thing: she's a willing posessee.
I recommend you fill that bitch with lead, then you fucking run from that house. As bad as she is now, she's still not done getting worse.

>It's a bit of a longshot but have you tried to do a hard samsaric reboot from his back up in the akashic record?
I don't want to fuck him up even -more-, Doc. If I did that, I could very well erase his existence from every point on our timestream, or I could just give the possessing entity even greater control over him. It's far too risky.

>stoned
>weird book on the table
>possessed chick
Oh for fuck's sake, not again!

What is with weed that makes people so willing to read from that damn book!?!

Like said, fill the bitch with as much lead as you can and run like hell.

Fuck it, shoot the book too while you're at it. Might as well make clean-up for me easier.

>Fuck, that's bad. If she's powerful enough that it looks like a full merging, but their minds are separate enough that they use plural pronouns, that can only mean one thing: she's a willing posessee.
It doesn't actually- have- to be a -willing- possession, nor do plural pronouns being used specifically denote that it's the host and the demon talking at once. There are many demons who are not singular individuals, but are instead Hive-Minds. Whole networks of alien intelligences joined together to devour the souls of the living. It's honestly fascinating to speculate on what could cause such a joining, but honestly? I agree with the other two, you should probably get the hell out of dodge.

Welp, I didn't have any guns on me, so I just jammed an electric carving knife in her mouth knocked her back into the basement, tossed the weird book into the basement before she could get back up and then slammed a bookshelf down on top of it to make sure the basement door stayed shut.

Then I ran like hell.

I'm probably going to have to leave town for awhile now, huh DH/tg/?

Hold up.

You tossed a weird-looking book in the basement with a fully merged possessee?

An entity that may or may not have been SUMMONED by said book?

>I'm probably going to have to leave town for awhile now, huh DH/tg/?
Probably. I thank luck, It/They will forget about you for the most part, and will just take to plaguing the countryside instead. Who knows. It may just focus it's attention on turning the area around the cabin into an eldritch location instead of chasing you.

There's something very VERY wrong in my house.
My fiancee has been way more, well, ready to go if you catch my meaning. Almost animalistic. Practically rutting. And several of my tools have gone missing, including the spike-hammer I recently had blessed.

Probably a Succubus. With any luck it's just gestation within her, and hasn't gone full direct control yet. That should give you some time to prep yourself, and to figure out a way to deal with it before it completely consumes her.

>Almost animalistic. Practically rutting.
So are we talking more 'insatiable lust', or is your fiancee really acting more like an animal in this regard? You'll have to elaborate here user.

The blessed spike-hammer going missing might be a red herring.

If nothing else it'll make for an interesting day's work for other daemon hunters that come across that cabin...

It certainly will. Anyway, I need to finish restraining and then exorcising my possessed buddy, and then I need to go check up on my kid. Specifically so that he doesn't get himself into any trouble.

...

What foul manner of daemonspawn is that abomination?!

The Crawling Chaos. Something that no rookie Hunter (and even some skilled ones) should -ever- meet. At the very least,not without a full team.

Gimme your co-ordinates, and I swear on my master's grave that I'll have an airstrike called in on that house within the day.

Just, don't ask me how.

Backwoods of northwest Tennessee. Better to airstrike the whole area just to be safe.

Epect large swathes of beautiful, untouched tennessee woodlands to be up in flames by the time you wake up tomorrow.

...

...

Wait, before you order that in, make sure there isn't a bunch of wickermen set up in there.
This might be a ploy to finish them up.

Winter driving can be such a bother

Wickermen...... in Tennessee. Really user?

How are we sure you're not the entity the other user ran from trying to save your possessed ass from getting barbecued?

The only 100% sure way to save his soul at this point is death. You're not an exorcist, you're a hunter.

Well, I've just finished the job, if that's what you're asking. He was laughing throughout the whole thing, burning everything down even as he died. It was horrible.

I...I had to put her down. The love of my life is dead and gone. This life has taken everything from me. The thing that had possessed her was laughing through to the end, even with the hammer's point driven into her chest. And the worst part? It said it wasn't done with me. Like it "wasn't done with me after the fire all those years ago."

Can I even walk away from this anymore? Anyone else have a nemesis?

>Anyone else have a nemesis?
I'm honestly not sure. The thing that possessed my old bastard friend of an exorcist seemed to indicate that it was rather high on the Demonic totem-ole, and that it would return once it found a "suitable vessel", but I don't consider it to be a nemesis. A great threat, yes. But not something that will actively hound us till the end of our days.

...

...

Actually, I got you buddy.

...

...

Why? When the wound is still this fresh, why would you do this?

Because I lost my friend and I need ed something to 'amuse' myself. Also, because you were wallowing in your grief and despair, and that just makes it worse. You need to remember what she was like -before- the possession, and temper your despair into Hate for the thing that took her from you.

Why are chainsaws so goddamn amazing?

Because they're trusty, reliable, and very good at killing supernatural fuckers when the time comes.

Chainsaws are one of those "go-to" weapons for when you need something capable of splitting a fucker in half.
>Spoiler quite related

Well now this is certainly a weird gig.

Um guys, any of you know how to deal with something called a Hachishakusan? A couple just paid me to protect their son from getting abducted by the thing.

Apparently it supposedly like pic related during the day and looks a lot scarier at night.

Hello Veeky Forums I'm Pennywise, the dancing clown. Would you like a balloon?

>Um guys, any of you know how to deal with something called a Hachishakusan?
You're going to need to call up one of the Japanese Branches for that I'm afraid. If you are unable to get in contact with one though, just lock the kid in a room, block all windows, doors, or other spaces the thing could crawl through, and instruct the kid -not- to listen to any voices outside of it. That -should- keep him safe long enough for you to figure out a way to banish the thing.

Was it worth it? If you could have never met her in the first place, would you have don't anything different? Were all those years together worth it, even if it ended so badly?

If the answer to this is yes, then you can still walk away from this. You can find the peace that eludes you yet. There is still hope for you yet.

You may carry the scars for the rest of your life, but the wounds can be healed - this I swear to you.

Easier said than done. This... woman for lack of a better word, is stalking the kid here in Seattle. Bit far from Japan.

Actually, how the HELL did this one get here in the first place?! I thought Japanese yokai stayed in Japan!

>Actually, how the HELL did this one get here in the first place?! I thought Japanese yokai stayed in Japan!
Hachishaku is one of those roaming evil spirits I'm afraid. Unless you manage to trap her in a single zone through the use of ancient rituals, or seal her in a confined area from which she can't escape, she will just travel the world and randomly assail young males as she goes. Also be careful. From what I've heard regarding a prior encounter with "her", she's capable of creating Constructs as extensions of her will to attack people.

Wait, you're in Seattle? That changes things user.

As the other guy said, lock the kid in a room & block all the entrances she might be able to get in through, and then just wait things out.

If memory serves, a certain tall, thin and faceless eldritch entity's made the western half of Washington state his personal territory and is incredibly violent if he catches others poaching on his turf. I suspect this problem will sort itself out before you have to worry about trying to banish her user.

There's only a 25% chance the local entity will impale you both on sharp tree branches out in the forest for causing such a ruckus, but it's just an occupational hazard, am I right?

>If memory serves, a certain tall, thin and faceless eldritch entity's made the western half of Washington state his personal territory and is incredibly violent if he catches others poaching on his turf.

user, if Gorr' Rylaehotep decides to take an "interest" in things, shit is going to go utterly FUBAR -very- quickly. The Black King is -not- one to fuck with.

>The Black King is -not- one to fuck with.
No kidding. I've had a couple close calls in that neck of the woods when I was called in to look into 'children disappearing'.

Word to the wise: if anyone in the Seattle Area sends out a call for a demon hunter over a missing children's case, don't take it.

A buddy of mine was foolish enough to try that and... well....

We found him in a tree where he was investigating the last known sighting of the missing kids.

Make that several trees.

Even if Hachishaku can create Constructs like implies, my money is down on ol' Schlankwald if the two cross paths and things get violent.

>Word to the wise: if anyone in the Seattle Area sends out a call for a demon hunter over a missing children's case, don't take it.
This. The only reason as to -why- the Black King hasn't taken over the world, is because it can't be bothered.

So I'm just supposed to hole up with the kid and wait for this to all blow over? I... I think I can manage that.

Hang on. The Black King aka Fear Dubh aka The Pale One aka The Tall Man likes to hang out in mountainous forests, right? Because there's a bunch of huge ass forest fires going on in the state right now.

Isn't this pushing the Black King in my direction, and probably really agitated right now? I mean, last I checked that guy isn't exactly a fan of fire right?

>Hang on. The Black King aka Fear Dubh aka The Pale One aka The Tall Man likes to hang out in mountainous forests, right? Because there's a bunch of huge ass forest fires going on in the state right now.

If you catch -any- sign whatsoever that the Black King is advancing towards your location, Run. Just take the family with you, and get the fuck out of dodge. Even the worst fates that Hachishaku could inflict upon you are as NOTHING compared to what the Black King can do.

Anyone up for Pizza?

>"Anyone up for buying me Pizza"
Fuck you

Unless you're within a short distance (777 cubits to be exact) of a Seraph, then yeah, get the fuck out.

Dante, everyone who isn't a gullible fool knows that you would just force other people to buy your pizza for you. It didn't work the last time you tried it, and it won't work now.

Only if you're buying the beer Dante. And none of the cheap booze either. I'm talking top shelf alcohol here!

Eh, I got few extra bucks. Just don't get as drunk as last time. That was awkward.

Good beer seems to be on the decline these days my friends. It's honestly kind of saddening to think about.

Wait, what the fuck's a cubit?!

Oh screw it, I'm out of here.

I'm not paid nearly enough to deal with Hachishaku AND the Black King.

So... a little bit of advice please DH/tg/.
I wanted to take up the hunting business and found a book that detailed a (what I believe might have been eastern?) practice of binding the essence of more benevolent spirits to your physical body in order to allow you to physically interact and put you on a level slightly above that of humans to aid in hunting.

Now I don't know enough about eastern spirits to be confident trying to successfully converse and reach an agreement with them, so I didn't want to risk it. And I (shamefully) don't know enough about the local dreamtime legends to be willing to attempt that. So I did what I thought would be the safe option and tried to go for an angel. Except, I'm not sure I have actually been talking to an angel.

I panicked when i started piecing it together before I reached the final stage of the ritual and hastily agreed to a temporary contract to put the final stage on hold until tomorrow. The spirit said that when I next wake I need to have my conditions/desires for the contract ready so we can negotiate properly, and negotiations will start the moment I wake up.

Any advice the more experienced have would be appreciated.

Tantir barada kenda

Alright, so you tried to call up angel, but the spirit you got -wasn't- actually an angel. Anything that tipped you off about it?

>Anything that tipped you off about it?
It wouldn't shut up asking WHAT DOTH LYFE

A cubit is an informal unit of measurement used in the past; it referred to the approximate length of a man't elbow to the tip of his middle finger.

A Heavenly Cubit, which is how one might measure the protective aura of a Seraph, is an actual defined unit of measurement. Specifically, it is the length of the elbow to the tip of the middle finger for Jacob, Jesus, and Muhammad (who all happened to have the same length cubit).

Find another Hunter (or anyone, really), agree to marry them for a Year and a Day, and take their last name. The name you now have is different to the name you swore under yesterday, so any previous deal is void. You are now free from any obligation to make deals with this being.

>WHAT DOTH LYFE
Oh, you called up -him-. Well, you got an "angel" at the very least. You just got what is probably the most annoying one.

Mhm. Who knew that Samael, the Angel of Death hiself, would be so... boring.

...

Hey guys so this privately funded foundation called me in to save the owners kid in japan and I need help. They mainly want to me help keep her stable till they get back but I'm a professional.

Anyways shes has some kind of fever and apparently she being possessed by something but I'm not seeing shit. Talking to some of the medical staff they say its also a genetic thing cause the whole family apparently is possessed.

Any Ideas if this is some kind of demon or a curse? Or if they are just fucking with me?

What kind of symptoms they have? Maybe it is genetic or mental.
I had this one incident with a schizophreniac. In hindsight I must admit, absinthe is helluva booze.

Fever, hard breathing almost like she is being choked, sleeps all the time. Part of me wants to say they are bullshiting me but I know I and most likely everyone here has seen some weird shit and I don't want to be a hypocrite.

I really don't want to call in an exorcist we all know how those people can be they dont even they dont even kill the demon once it out of the host

Have you searched their house for more evidence?
If they follow Shinto, it might be harder to say what stuff is weird, but if you find bleeding walls or writing, occult items or books like that one made of human leather, Black Bible, Book of Mormon or something similar.
We can't shoot first and ask later, that didn't work out very well last time.

Ok heres what I found out so far

According to the medical staff she found by one of the guest visiting with the foundations owner (her father) in front of an open fridge but when I went to that room a path of utensils was leading towards the fridge

In one of the guest rooms I saw a stained spot on the floor that appears to be a weird pink dust that seemed to be spilled on the floor

The final room I checked I found some interesting stuff though I found a picture of a hand drawn fly and a encyclopedia about insects along with that I saw multiple weird pictures of a man with what appears to be a pentagram on his shoulder and a deep looking scar along his neck and another photo with the italian word for god.

As I final sweep for clues I checked the trash and found multiple broken cameras

So I'm starting to think they aren't fucking with me but now the question is am I dealing with some cult shit a minion of Beelzebub or some weird Japanese yokai
