ok quick what are our goals here?

Obviously we need to humiliate the guy but do we have any secondary goals like expose him as a cheat as well?

either way lets start with a loosen and work from there.

Ok we need to get him out from behind the pulpit first. If we get him naked behind it then he can just hide and it wont be as affective.

Also we are in the front row so we need to be careful about calling attention to ourselves.

Maybe charm someone in the audience to go up and ask for a blessing. Then once he is out front and doing that we go to work on his clothes.

>ME ME ME!
...that's not the appropriate attitude for a priest. I see why Law was annoyed.

>What do
Hmm. Loosen won't work so well- the topmost yellow and white thing looks like it's draped over him- the only way to get it off is up and over. The red robe looks like it has buttons or something, though.

Control probably doesn't last long enough to get all those clothes of of him, and when he came out of it our cover would be blown from having to give him orders.

>>518660
Seems like a good way to start. Getting a charmed person in range gives us more options and gets him from behind the pulpit.

animate his hat into becoming a giant dick.

[CHARM] High Priest!
Suggestion: "Your congregation is way too small, you need to go outside and proselytize the masses!"

this should get him in the open!

We're being way too covert about this one. He is a priest, he can play off anything as 'miracles'. What we need to do is call him out for his hubris, and show that we have the gods on our side. Show that he has strayed from the path, and humiliate him by showing him the god's magic at work.

animate his robes to open at the lower half and then animate the podium to topple.

See how his congregation likes him when he's been exposing himself to them subtly.

Modesty is uncertain what to do in this situation. She fears her form is unsuited for the mission, for one thing, and most of her ideas sound good in her head, but falter in imagined execution.

For example, Charm requires her to speak. Animate only works on clothing, and she isn't sure it would be enough in this case.

Please agree on a single action.

That is a flawless disguise right there.

Oh. Didn't think to take into account that disguising ourself might be harder with a non-human congregation.

>what do?
All right. So, if charm requires speaking, that's not an option. We'd stand out to much suddenly doing so in the front row of an otherwise silent audience.

Control might work without speaking, but I'm not sure what to do with it.

Animate is probably insufficient to get him out of all those clothes, and loosen won't work on everything.

...let's start by upsetting things a bit. Animate the good book on the podium in front of him. Make the pages start blowing or something. Then when he gets annoyed or people start muttering or getting excited (sign from god!) hit what we can with a loosen. Then we'll see what we can work with from there.

well if anyone gets upset with us and we didn't do anything suspicious we could call racist. all are equal before the law after all.

idea, ask for us to be blessed, we are a stanger in these lands and HIS blessing would offer us comfort. play to their ego. then when we kneel in front of them BAM pants fall down and every sees him flashing a foreigner.

Hrrm...I've an idea. Animate his underwear for instant painful wedgie. If we maintain control of the undies in question, we can make a point of yanking when he grandstand, but ONLY when he grandstands. If he wisens up fast enough, we can leave him be.
And this could work as a nice addenum to the 'flashing foreigner' plan, something a bit more active to pass the time...

Too bad we cant just... charm everyone into thinking we look like a cat...

>>519283
Agreement

>>519283
And/or yanking him forward and backward.

I wonder if we could just whip it out, fly up into the air and go NAY BRO FROM THY MOUTH YON PRAYERS ARE A CALL NOT FOR LAW, BUT FOR HUMILITY, AND I AM HERE TO DELIVER, SO [charm] CONFESS THY SELFISH DESIGNS since being explicitly told by a divine servant that you're not acting in accord to the gods' will should be pretty humiliating, if we do it right. BUT I think secrecy is an implied goal to maintain, and direct messages from the gods are too much of an honour to go well with the humility goal. Although, he is a priest, so maybe special attention is allowed? We did get told we had permission to act on Law's land, but I don't know if that's special permission to do stuff or just permission to do what we normally do.

>>519369
>I wonder if we could just
NOPE

In this quest, it is game-over if the target finds out we're the ones doing this stuff.

I think our better bet is to play into his lack of humility, while using that to deflect from our poor disguise. Maybe some sort of claim that we have always wanted to be (catfolk? Whatever they would be) or more like the priest? Get the priests attention on us, ask for his blessing, and then use miracles to either reveal his shame, or to cause havoc to unravel when he tries to 'help' us.

>>519252
We must start subtly, they are going to pray right? As soon as they start knock his hat off with Animate

He will likely bend over to retrieve it. I believe we could do much from this point.

Perhaps have him trip over his robes and go toppling off that raised platform?

In any case it would work well as a distraction.

Prayer works well too, We can silently whisper our Charm Commands and no one will suspect us. We could silently nudge his sermon into chatting about himself and how proud he is of his own accomplishments. The crowd might not notice at first, but we just get someone to call him out about it with charm.

He grumbles as he leans over to pick it up, the audience murmuring quietly.

Hrrrm...Wait if we were to animate his robe's sleeve to yoink him off the edge of the platform?
Nothing like an apparent loss of balance to make him look dumb.
OOOH! We can charm a member of his congregation to denounce him! Perferably someone he dislikes or is something of a pariah, which will make the message all the more effective!
The message being that he has allowed his ego to grow so great that Law has given special permission for him to be humiliated like this.
Done like this, it will let us avoid the issue of revealing ourselves, and gets the message across.

make the hat jump from his grasp every time.

>>525054
Pulling his clothes enough to knock him over would make it obvious to him that it's not an accident, even if it's not obvious to anyone else.
Letting him realize someone (us) is doing it would, if anything, inflate his ego in that he's worth targeting.
Subtlety is key. I agree with making him fumble the hat again, maybe off the platform.
Wait and see what his response is before we manipulate the audience. Merely dropping his hat isn't good enough to warrant being denounced just yet.

Oh hey look, a button to Loosen.

Could be a good moment for a loosen. Make it look like the act of bending over made his outfit come apart.

What do you guys think about [ANIMATE] the [SHOES] to do a ["FULL SPLITS"]?

It would be extensively painful.
>lose balance, fall on nose
>unstretched thigh muscles stretched beyond breaking point.

except that is just the top button, there are probably more under the white part of the outfit.

One of his shoes is very close to the edge. We could make it pull enough that it slips over, he loses balance and falls. Or, as said, we could get his clothes to tip him over. I think the first is the better if we want him to think that maybe it was an accident, though.

Is there a time limit between miracles? If he fell over the right way, so that he ends up upside down against the side of the platform, we could have his robes fall down.

I'm going with the animate the shoe close to the edge of the platform to make it slip off casing him to fall off. He might also do the splits as well as he falls.

What if made it look like his god is punishing him?

We still have 4 miracles remaining, and the hat should still be able to respond to mental orders.

>light him on fire
No. That will get the congregation to turn on us. We will at the very least be captured and discovered (and our god commands us to conceal our identity). It could get us imprisoned or killed. Also- our mission is to humiliate the target, not to maim, martyr, or murder him.

>better idea
Order his hat to jump into the chandelier next to him. It'll be embarrassing, he and possibly several other people will be occupied trying to put out the fire. This will distract attention from Modesty, allow her to move away from the two cats eying her suspiciously, and putting us in better position to bare the priest.

"Unhand me you dolt!" the head priest exclaims as the lesser priest removes the other man's robe, giving a clear view of his tiny loincloth. Giggles erupt from the congregation while the head priest fights for his clothes, pulling back away from the other priest and back towards his podium...

You have used four miracles. You have two miracles left. What will you do?

That nail looks like in a good position to animate and snag his robes to help with the struggle. We could also loosen his loincloth off!

Actually the nail looks like it can snag the side of the ties that hold up the loincloth. Animate it to grab that instead.

The hat is still animate, right? Order it to fall off again.

Loosen the loincloth.

If he tries to get away, or shoves the nun off of him, order the animate candlestick to roll and trip him.

>>531812
>Pulling back towards the podium

This just needs a podium to have a mild carpentry error that causes it to tip over or collapse in such a way that the two fall atop one another ... conveniently leading to some rather SAUCY mishaps, no?

>>531840
...that's a point. If we loosened the nail(s) holding it together right, we could end up with them collapsing on top of each other, and the loincloth coming undone on the protruding nail.

Provided the podium came apart fast enough. Loosening carpentry is slower than fastenings.

>>534502
>don't let on that you totally agree with the drow.
She's a fairy. Even if she's not the tiny kind, I have a hard time believing anything with little bug wings is entirely comfortable with spiders.

Especially as this as a fantasy setting and there are almost certainly giant ones somewhere.

Humiliating the baker is too simple because all it would take is for someone to switch her goods for something that a better baker made, then reveal the actual origin of the baking in a way that is undeniable: Likely a waste of our stripping powers, although I suppose you could use the stripping powers to disable her business while we got a replacement baker with better humility to fill in and permanently wreck her business.
The drow makes a complete ass of herself by insisting spiders are the best bug, whether they are or not is mostly an individual or situational opinion thing so therefore shut up you stupid spider-nerd I don't see spiders making honey or pollinating crops. Having her swarmed by spiders that devoured her clothes would work but I'm not sure if we're up to that yet.

This leaves the crystal golem as the single target appropriate for and worthy of our efforts, we hope. Better study up on crystal golems I guess.

Waaaiit, will Skin Barrier work on the golem like it would for organic creatures?

I'd quite like to go for the Drow...

Golem, check those vertices out man you could carve glass with those.

Golem. The Baker and the Drow will humiliate themselves because people will eventually find out about the overcharging and because everyone knows that spiders can never be the best bug because they are arachnids, not bugs.

Drow.

Mantises are way better than spiders and I'm not even sure if mantises are the best.

"The Crystal Golem."

"REALLY? ARE YOU SURE?"

"Yes."

"OKAY. I JUST FIGURED YOU'D GO FOR THE OBJECTIVELY WORST PERSON OF THE THREE."

"Wait, wha-"

And with that, you're in the middle of a carnival. Your target is easy enough to identify though appears to be subjected to an illusion that's source is not immediately obvious. Next to her is some little brown fuzzy... breed of kobold? Ratkin? Something tiny and soft and wearing short shorts is acting as her barker.

"STEP RIGHT UP!" The tiny brown thing attempts to bellow with it's tiny-thing voice, "STEP RIGHT UP AND SLAP THE GLASS-JAWED ELF! MAKE HER FLINCH AND WIN-A-PRIIIIIZE! FIVE SILVER RENTS A PADDLE! A GOLD GETS YOU THREE! ALL YA GOTTA DO IS MAKE HER FLINCH AND YA WIN A PRIIIIIZE!"

Some kinda unhealthy-looking thing with a pointy chin has already broken a paddle on the glass-jawed elf it looks like, and some sort of grey fluff-lizard stands next in line.

You make a mental note to invest in a guide to races.

> that next in line

Welp, our work here is done. Humiliation achieved.

Huh. Well at least the wide variety of races here means we won't have to worry abut standing out.

Seems our goal is obvious too. We want to time expose her at such a time that she reacts- flinches. Make her lose the game. We gotta strike right as the paddle is coming in.

...could we sneak up behind that cart and snatch the mouse-thing's wand he's using to cast the illusion? He's small enough you could out muscle him. Or maybe we could charm or control someone else into doing it. ...or just control him into dropping the illusion.

And I'm pretty sure we can loosen that skirt into falling right off.

>alternate strategy
Or... if we could use skin barrier, and somehow swap out the paddle with those knives being juggled? While charming or controlling the contestant into smacking at her clothes rather than her face.

>>538821
The barker is casting the illusion. A secondary objective here is to disrupt his casting.

Now, we have a problem here. How are we supposed to get her clothes off? Loosen would work if there are any buttons, not that I can see any. Cast it right as the fluff-lizard hits her, to avoid suspicion. Oh! Or we could Animate the rug to disrupt her balance! That's a more surefire thing.

Another thing to consider is that she won't be very popular after we dispel the illusion, so we might be able to Charm someone into using that knife juggler's knives on her, and with the aid of Skin Barrier she'll be disrobed.

Have an idea on how to disrupt the illusion. animate one of the paddles and have it brake and have the loose place shot straight at the barker's wand... Or we could cast animate on the wand and see if we can't change the illusion of having it turn the crystal chick into an elf and have it instead make her clothes invisible( and since we'd be changing the illusion then she'll also turn back into her crystal self)

Hrrm... Soo I'm thinking we could ANIMATE the golem's clothing to spin her around sorta when the next contestant hits you.
But alternately I guess maybe mix CHARM and SKIN BARRIER to have the knife thrower toss knives and cut the clothes off/ make the manager/announcer guy scatter?

>>538843
Why make it the secondary objective? If the illusion drops, thier show is revealed for the scam, which could cause a great deal of humiliation.

And of that doesn't work, having her pants fall off a heartbeat after she realizes the jig is up could.

Or maybe..
ANIMATE wand. Command it to FAIL.

ANIMATE that big gray person's slapper into not breaking.

(If that doesn't work, CHARM her into thinking clothes-ripping is the cheatiest way to make her flinch.)

"I'll bet she'd flinch if you stole her top!"

>>538851
We might have to use control if we influence the knife guy. I'd think getting him to attack someone would push credibility too far for charm.

Animate the slapper to fly out of the contestant's hands and hit that little yappy thing. It's wand looks like it's holding up the illusion.

You ANIMATE the slapper flying out of the grey-thing's hand as she does some kind of weeaboo fightan spin-swing with it towards the so-called glass jawed elf. Maybe she thought it was intimidating or something. Who knows?

Either way, the paddle beans the koboldy guy in the forehead, causing him to drop his wand and the illusion with an audible "WAH!"

The crystal golem doesn't flinch, but she does give a delayed "Whoa!" as the barker is hit and she turns back to normal. Seems she might be a bit slow on the uptake.

"The fuck!?" is all the grey thing says.

The popcorn smells absolutely delicious and you suddenly realize that you haven't eaten quite a while. How does time pass between these scenes anyways? You decide to make "GET POPCORN" a secondary objective.

The koboldy thing is out cold and nobody seems to care one bit.

Maybe we could charm the grey fuzzy lizard thing into stripping the golem. A charm suggesting she "See what else she's hiding" or something like that.

The situation allows for bystanders to be somewhat outraged, so we shouldn't have to worry about our cover too much.

charm a guy who broke his hand to get a knife and attack the golem. then skin shield.

Then get a knife, sneak up behind the unmoving and golem and cut/loosen those clothes. Skin barrier is probably not even required.

That is unless the golem is magic immune. Damn golems.

Go buy a popcorn with money. Or just steal it.
