Culexus Assassin vs The Dunwich Horror (Battle for the High 8-C)

I find it more likely that Dunwich Horror gets shot and dies before it manages to open up a bunch of gates and summon a 1-A. The nature of a Culexus should be able to get past the fact that the Dunwhich Horror doesn't properly interact with most things at all.


So yeah I guess the daemon killer kills a daemon, since I don't believe it's higher dimensional essence was of the sort extending into 1-A spaces.
 
Love the names.

Anyway if The Horror uses his Summoning then the match ends right there, the Horror itself would likely feel all of the Culexus' passives but the Culexus doesnt have a way to stop the summoning and gets Curbed once the Outer God appears.

However if the Culexus is invisible and isnt sensed he has a chance to kill the Horror via the Soul Destruction.
 
@Overlord Has his Power Null worked on a 1-A scale before? Also, mind haxing someone with Great Old One Physiology just gets you a dose of madness straight to your brain

Btw, The Dunwich Horror's madness is passive. Him openning portals is fast, but it takes a bit before the Great Old Ones actually make their way out while in character
 
Horror's physical form is not 1-A, so it would work

And the Cuelux Assassin make things that aren't affected by the warp's weirdness start screaming in pain by having an Astral projection of them near him, so Horror would get affected.

It was stated that he goes to the realms beyond the gates and high dimensions, which is definitely 1-A
 
I believe there was something about nulls causing legitimate pain to Slaaneshi daemons. Meaning in the sense that it was a negative experience. That is not normal to them.

They aren't power nulling the outer gods obviously but I don't think summoning on its own is a 1-A power.
 
The Culexus cant null the Summoning itself but if the Culexus goes invisible and isnt sensed or can **** with the Horrors brain enough he could win via his Soul Destruction.

No, but his physiology causes mind hax, and great old one physiology gives a natural resistence to mind hax iirc. Also, his summoning works by opening up portals to beyond dimensional realms, so he needs feats to be able to null that

I don't really see how that would effect a dude who's form is more fit to survive in a realm were elder gods roam
 
@Woki the Summoning is opening the gate, which are 1-A, and having a 1-A come through.

So the Summoning is 1-A.

Also both parties have a type of passive mind fu*k so who's affected more will likely decide the winner.

Are they 1-A?

No, but his abilities work by opening up portals to the realms beyond the gets, which is definitely 1-A. Opening up the gates is a 1-A ability, even if it isn't directly combat applicable for use outside of summoning
 
Dunwich horror isn't 1-A. Outer gods aren't relevant here because they need to actually be summoned.

Psykers can open up portals to the warp, which is 1-A at it's deepest and most abstract. However, their power isn't gonna null the actual 1-A beings in the warp and is 1-B at best. This is because opening a portal to a 1-A place doesn't make the act of opening that portal 1-A.
 
Even though it acts rather animalistic, the Horror is still sapient. I don't see it being able to do much of anything with the Culexus so darned close to it.

So yes, I see the Culexus ripping him a new one before Big Eldritchi Boi gets his cellphone to call his more powerful homies over.
 
Yes but you dont need to be a 1-A to have 1-A summoning, also how Psykers open the portals and how The Horror Summons seems different plus The Warp and the Gates are also very different.

Iirc The Horror also has its own passive "mind" manip in its Maddness Manipulation.

Also Culexus Mind Hax doesnt work on everyone the same.

Its summoning involves openning the gates, 1-A constructs that most Great Old Ones and Elder Gods can't even effect. The ability he uses to open them is, in fact, 1-A in nature

Yes, but openning portals to a 1-A place is not all he is doing. He has to effect 1-A constructs in order to do it, even beyond just openning portals

I mean, they are starting at max distance, so he at least has a bit before he gets hit with the null.

The passive mindhax of GOOs isn't very good
Cthulhu's isn't, but The Dunwich Horror's is better than his. People had to look at Squid Boi to go insane, The Dunwich Horror was making people lose their mind before they even detected him

You better clarify that in the OP then, because by SBA they start at the max range between them both if it's not farther away than 4 KMs. And that'd be hundreds of meters by the horror's share size, which means he's still right there for the Assassin, more or less
 
They are at 4 KMs, since the horror has a range further than that. Iirc you start at the further range, but no greater than 4 KMs. Thus, they start there. Just to clarify, I am indeed counting the Summoning as part of his range
 
Just to be clear tho, if he soul haxes or kills the dunwich horror after he has already opened the portals, then the great old ones are still gonna come out and he still wins
 
He doesn't die, he just stops existing in a mortal plane. They nuked him with an eldritch spell that called down lightning to remove the very basis of him being able to exist and that didn't even completely get rid of him, just his lower form.

It took removing his ability to interact with a lower plane to get rid of the portals, which is what their spell basically did
 
Well im pretty sure the GOO curbs the Culexus, this comes down to weather or not the Culexus can kill The Horror before he can summon.
 
Yeah, basically

Also, I found out that The Dunwich Horror may also have BFR, since it was stated that his the great old ones may move the earth to a distant plane
 
A bunch of regular humans were able to cast away the dunwich horror before he could summon the GOOs, so Cuelux should be able to do it in time too
