Deckard Cain, the last of the Horadrim and loremaster of Tristram, gets more than he bargained for when he attempts to chronicle a mysterious cult summoning. As portals go haywire, Deckard Cain gets thrown into a world he doesn't know, against an evil that cannot be vanquished.

Hmm, you have my interest for the moment. :pinkiecrazy:

What a coincidence, I started playing Diablo 3 only a few days ago!

By the burning hells that picture somehow creeps me out.






(reap faice):trollestia:

Welp, this was coming sooner or later.

Worst 60$ ever spent.

I'm gonna track this. This is intriguing!

i like it I'll fav it for now. hope to see more.:pinkiehappy:

647820 Whoah... RandomEncounter. I'll try my hardest to entertain you!

647982 Yeah, the picture sorta creeped me out the first time I saw it, but it's Tsitra360, and he's a crazy good artist. So I used it, even if Deckard Cain never becomes a pony (spoiler).

648124 Well think of it this way; You may have spent $60 on what you claim to be a bad investment, but reading this story is free! :pinkiehappy:

And just a general comment; My internet is down for a little while, so I can only update at varying intervals when I can convince my sister to let me borrow her laptop. So be patient please; the chapters will be updated nevertheless.
Also, thanks everyone for the comments and whatnot! :twilightsmile:

Oh no, I was talking about the game itself. It was kind of terrible.

649242 In some cases I can agree; I'm not gonna go fanatic fanboy here. But I guess it's all a matter of preference. I like mindless hack-and-slash games over games with a ton of story and whatnot. It's just opinions.

649277

My problem was that they took out alot of the variability in character customization that was present in d2 and d, scaled down the difficulty considerably, and didn't innovate on any more peculiar mechanics like they did in the shift from d to d2. This was basically d2, cutting out character customizations, with less hero choices, and scaled down difficulty. Which, honestly, made me hate it more than I should.

From the sound of it, Cain is near Appleloosa and encountered Braeburn.

649293 Yeah, I can see where you're coming from with that. It's hard for me to compare the two (D3 and D2) mostly because I haven't played D2 in years. But hey, as long as I'm able to explode fifty bad guys at the same time, I'm happy.

Honestly? I miss the time back when the butcher in the original diablo would kill you in five hits, if you weren't half a dozen levels overlevelled, or just cheesing with the rouge.

*kicks door open*
PARTYCANNON I AM IN THE COMMENTS SECTION OF THE FIC OF WHICH YOU OWN!
WHAT NOW?!?!

I'm easily entertained. If all else fails, just attach a ball of string at the end of the chapter and I'll be distracted for hours... :yay:

649327 Nah man Inferno mode is all the rage. Even though I hate how they took out so many of the awesome mechanics they had in the beta builds and now are hoping players use real currency to get good items from the action house cause the ingame money one is totally overpriced and full of shit.
Also TYREAL Y U SO BLACK.

If it takes more than 30 hours of game play to make me even vaguely interested in a game, i think it's the higher point of valor for me to just not waste my life on it. I stuck on it for three depressed days until I'd nearly finished nightmare, and realized I've only started using potions in the second act in nightmare mode.

i was waiting for a story like this. and i was not dissapointed :D

649769 True that everything before act 4 hell are to bloody easy I mean com on izual harder then diablo
fuck that shit,bosses ain't as hard as the champion's and elites its so bloody annyoing getting vortex shield avenger molten enemy combo's.

649608 Ha, you look so tiny without the red nameplate. Looks like I'M in control now! Arharhar!

Very solid writing, noticed only one obvious error (used do insted of due) and I will very much enjoy reading more of this.

Deckard Cain is best pony. Oh, wait... he's best Horadrim, yeah, that's it.

Is Tyrael gonna pop up?

And Twilight got eaten by the fell imp, the end.

*Edit: Discord is one of the other evils, not of lesser or prime evil status, of diablo-verse....Discord, the lord of Chaos! The prime evils and other lesser evils banished him because he wasn't malicious enough.

Calling it now.

You should take that "Doomberg" idea somewhere, since you're already in Appleloosa.

Cain is in for something of a surprise. Ah, two people, talking on completely different wavelengths, nothing more amusing then that.

I'm sure (hopeful) that Twilight will be fine. Magic unicorn and all that.

It was like nothing he had ever seen. So sleek. So… perfected.

I hate my brain sometimes.

667741 I had actually written that when my brain was turned off, and as I read back through it during editing it caught up to me.
There are no words to describe how I felt.

I can imagine that Deckard and Twilight's meeting will be like two drops of water merging. They'd probably spend hours on hours sharing knowledge and conversing while scribbling down notes of one another.

"It was empty. Nopony seemed to want to go to the library." That will soon be changed. Deckard will probably spend his sweet time with all the books in the library, knowing his facination with knowledge.

693495 Hopefully not for too long; Chapter 4 is practically done already. :raritywink:

This is an awesome story. I've always had a soft spot for Deckard Cain. I certainly did sit awhile and listen.

To be fair, they can't really know he's got magical powers. They might think he does because he looks so strange (and he told Braeburn he does) but its for the wrong reasons.

Still, pretty freaky for them, yeah. Still, woohoo Twilight and Spike. Can't wait for more.

Just a heads-up; the next update will be two chapters, probably. I just need to restart my writing schedule to adjust for my new job, so ya'll get a double update.
(Also, don't expect Zecora to ever come back. I don't like writing in rhymes.)

Nice chapter. Hope that Deckard will be arriving in Ponyville and reunited with his staff soon. I'd really love to see some "egghead" conversations between him and Twilight :rainbowkiss:

741243 Trust me, if got some egg-headiness planned. A lot of egg-headiness.

Lets greentext like on Glorious 4chan

743082 Off topic, but I'm beginning to turn...
...Green with envy.

Will you be updating soon, good sir?
