Hmm, yes, Victor could go talk to the big guy. V2 could too. If he can't see V2, we could even spy on him a little.

He mentioned being able to see V2. Also, he's a god. Don't even think about trying to fool him. It's a bad call.

However, he also mentioned liking V2. He'd make a good ambassador.

:8Victor: [[What?]]

:8Victor: [[...In any case. When and how am I to speak with the god?]]

:8Ava: I can ask him to come back to the portal we had opened before- oh, but you weren't here, were you? It's just in the left hall. But I have some questions for Vicki first, alright? Then we'll set it up.

Wassup, huge dude. So, we know about the credit card, and we'd like to know if you'll get pissed off if we use it. We have a plan for a bank heist but we may need the card anyway, because we have a lot of money to dish out before we can consider ourselves safe from the metal bitch. Would it make you happier if we bought some random/hedonistic bullshit alongside the stuff we need to survive?

Also I have a question- you said before that everyone was lying to us. Are those lies important, or little deceptions to save face?
>>
No. 630506 ID: e6e219

Hey so a question first. Do you look like that by choice or does the power you wield sort of dictate how you look? Or does what people think of you change your appearance?

Just curious because we have seen all sorts of gods and they all work a bit differently depending on the dimension you are in. Don't go to the dimension where the phasebears live by the way. Its was going downhill rapidly last time we helped out there.

Also awesome throne design.

Anyways can we borrow some money? We promise we will spend our share on booze and whores if anyone gives us hands to spend it with. The rest of the team might do something useful with it though.

Normally we would have come up with some awesome plan but sometimes we get summoned after the situation is far to dire and the only stuff that will work are suicidal ideas.

Nothing like appearing while someone is already neck deep in quicksand and having to watch them go down while shrugging.

:8Baron: You kids are all business. No grace or respect. No grovelling before me. No fucking tribute. You think you can waltz right into my throne room like you own the fucking place, make demands of me? Try to pry me from my beautiful money?

:8Victor: [[Lord Baron, Sir-- please, they do not speak for myself, I have not yet had the chance--]]

:8Baron: Yes I realize that, you little goddamn worm. Which is why you're not dead yet. And don't act like a pompous douchebag. You're a dirt eating animal trained to speak. You don't get to pretend to be sophisticated.

:8Baron: I'm screwing with you. I'm not even mad. Gonna still need my tribute, though. Then we can talk about what you can do to earn my cash. And hell. Maybe I'll answer a question or two, because I'm that much of a nice fucking guy.

:8Baron: It's too bad you don't have anyone good and dickable in your group. Save my bitch, but she's already mine, isn't she? I can always use more fresh meat. Something that'll still scream when I bite it. But I'm sure you have something else you could offer. I'm open to suggestion. I love a surprise. You're just lucky I'm your patron, and not the metal cunt. You'd be dead already.

Hrm.
Well there are a few things we can offer...I like the thought of offering you, almighty Baron, some of our victims from this upcoming heist...V-2, perhaps, could serve as collateral, something you get if we fail to deliver anything, if yoy in your graciousness would accept such terms?
Beyond that...I'm afraid most of what we have to offer we will need to make this heist work, though I can't say that doesn't mean they are not on the table to begin with...

No. 630951 ID: fe4bfc

That's the great part about being a summoned extra dimensional entity. We can cut through all the crap because we don't have to worry about our safety.

Honestly did not take you for the type that wanted groveling and such. The tribute I can understand but the rest of it just gets old after awhile.

So a tribute eh? V-2 go bake him a cake.

Man being a disembodied voice sucks sometimes. All we can offer is promises or stuff we can convince our minions/team to do.

Oh hey how about V-2? You seemed to be entertained by him. How about we train him in the ways of your priesthood or something? Get him to join the Baron religion/cult?

Well our resources are very limited right now... Would creating chaos in your name be a suitable tribute? Or does it have to be something we give you directly? These two are not essential to our bank robbery plan, so they will be available as a form of tribute, but we kindof want them back afterwards, at least mostly unharmed.
>>
No. 630964 ID: d90668

Spread chaos in his name? That's just what he would expect us to say.

Lets promise to spread love and peace in his name instead. Then he can lure in hippy girls who were drawn into the love and peace message.

:8Baron: Four cooks is not too many cooks. I have more than a hundred. Fuck you and your stupid tribute, you insolent little shit.

:8Baron: But I do like the thought of another servant. And this one's a different flavor of magic from the blood bitch, I can feel it. With a little breaking and twisting he'd be a perfect little esoteric. That always was my favorite kind. You can have him back in a few months, when I'm done with him. You'd be his first assignment.

:8Victor: [[Ah- oh- Lord Baron please - put me down, with greatest respect I do not want--]]

:8Baron: But, thing is, I'm feeling the same kind of magic off the worm. And he is the original. Maybe I should take him instead, huh? Wouldn't want you dumping your sloppy seconds on me. And I only want one of them. You got me thinking of collecting the whole set, and I don't need doubles.

:8Victor: [[Ss- Sir, I do not use magic as the other races do, I am fundamentally different, you could not--]]

:8Baron: Sure I could, fuckface. I can do anything I fucking want.

How do you appease a schizo?! He goes from Bi-polar to multiple-personality to unstable maniac!!!

If you can find a pattern in his madness and appease him in a combo, that MIGHT work. Or it might just make his next state even more angry.

Try offering him a show!
>>
No. 631255 ID: 296917

I wouldn't call V-2 sloppy seconds. He's more unique than the original! Hell, he managed to use controlled magic. Victor can't do that. You may even be able to replace his body with something cooler, less likely to rot. Plus, I mean, he's pretty weird.

On the other hand, Victor is a better example of what an Annelid should be. If you're only interested in his fundamental difference from other races, Victor is a better choice. Also he's honestly less useful to us. He doesn't have hands anymore and his magic isn't reliable for anything except killing people. Well, maybe if we repeatedly enchanted items until we got a useful effect, but we'd need a lot of spare material to do that, which we don't have.

HOWEVER, if neither of them agree to the deal, I really don't want to force them into it. We'll have to figure out some other form of tribute in that case. I'd ask you to treat them nicely to help persuade one of them to agree, but uh, you have no reason to keep that promise.
>>
No. 631256 ID: fe4bfc

Yeah I think there were only 4 actual cooks in that video. And probably less after the beard guy killed everyone.

Victor I know you have a bit more primal magic than everyone else but I am sure he could figure it out. Also I do apologize in advance if he hauls you off and molests you. Not really anything we can do about it.

Well which one you want is up to you really. If I was going to pick a new servant I would go with V-2. The original has been out in the world for years now and already has all sorts of preconceived notions regarding things.

But V-2 is a day old. Eager to learn everything and already accidentally breaking things with the best of them. You can mold him into whatever you want and it will be like raising a baby with built in flamethrowers.
>>
No. 631260 ID: 296917

It occurs to me that that video's jokes relied a lot on cultural stuff. Like, the whole idea of an intro lasting too long might not translate to this world. We don't even know if sitcoms exist here, much less if they follow the same tropes ours do.

How about a video like this instead, Lord Baron? It transcends cultural boundaries, I'd say.

If you don't like that, what kind of stuff do you like? "Chaos" can mean a bunch of different things really...
>>
No. 631262 ID: fbc59e

*sighes* That, I suppose, is our quandry. We have, quite frankly, very little to offer...
So. Victor&V-2. They can be yours, in lieu of the fact that they are in your hands right now.
That, leaves us with...Nothing we can actually spare.
HOWEVER! I think we do work best with a degree of crunch...Perhaps, in your mercy you could be willing to grant us a measure of time before coming to you again, at which point, we can make a hopefully more appealing offer...And if we fail to applease you...I'd liek to think we could negotiate, but push come to shove, I suppose you could take your pick of what we have, period.

:8Baron: Cows are more of a human thing. They don't live long underground. But I do like that more.

:8Baron: Not that it matters. We're coming to a more meaningful agreement, aren't we? Cartoons aren't fucking real. And I don't need a show from these two. I have performers and actors and whores and belly dancers and circus freaks dripping from every pore on my body. I've seen everything and more.

:8Baron: So I will take something I can wrap my hands around and play with. One of a kind trumps one of a species. And the zombie is fresh and malleable. He's not struggling at all. The worm's already whining and groaning. You can keep the it. I don't want it.

:8Baron: I will allow you to take the money on loan, with the promise of a better offer for me. You will need to bring me another tribute when you come back, of course. And if you don't come back, well... you'll owe me a favor. I have a good one planned already. You'll fucking love it. But broke as you are, you can still give down payment. You will give me some of the hostage meat from your robbery. Pick out the good ones, don't waste my fucking time.

:8Baron: I did promise I would answer some questions. Let it be known I am sometimes a man of my word. Go.

Welp, good luck V-2. I hope you come out ahead from this arrangement. (heh, get it)

Okay, how long does that memetic invisibility spell last? Any limitations aside from goblins seeing through it?

Why are Vicki's eyes bleeding and turning colors? Is there any reliable way to trigger her massive power boost? If I had to guess, it seems to happen when she's agitated.

Where did Vicki's book originally come from? You know, the 7 easy steps one. We saw a vision earlier of you using it during your ascension to godhood. Is it some sort of ancient mysterious artifact of unknown origin, responsible for a sizable portion of the current pantheon?

Do you think our bank robbery plan is gonna work? Any advice on making it cooler or more lucrative? I'm not asking for spoilers here, I just wanna know if there's something we're forgetting.

What sort of tribute do the other gods like?

:8baron: Is that all? You're not capitalizing on what you have. Why it's almost insulting... I will let it slide. But my patience is being tested with your group, isn't it.

:8baron: V-2 will become visible when he decides to be. He will learn how to use his magic correctly. I don't have any use for a servant who cannot perform.

:8baron: Blue is the color of the queen of dreams.

:8baron: I don't do self help books. I have no idea what the fuck you're on about.

:8baron: The metal bitch loves her filthy goblin gold more then I do. I don't know or care what the other small timers want.

:8baron: I like green. It's my color. The fuck is wrong with green?

I... expected others to chime in with more questions, actually. Seems quiet in here.

Okay uh, how can we get Vicki to learn more magic from the book?
What are you going to do to V-2 exactly?
Where is Dreamstealer? How do we meet him? We heard he doesn't accept visitors, but if we're never going to get AAE's gift then we'll HAVE to meet Dreamstealer eventually to get his.
What's your favorite hedonistic thing to do?
What's your favorite magic?
What's the dumbest bitchfight you've seen between gods? What other gods hate eachother?
What recommendations do you have for Aspects that Vicki might choose? I kindof thought that was something she didn't pick willingly, and was determined more by her lifestyle and mental state, but I guess I was wrong. As I understand it we have to convince the other gods that the aspect will be useful in the pantheon. What about Rebirth? Fate?
Do you know what Firebeard is researching? Is it cool?

:8baroness1: What matters is what we look like now! Focus on today, right?

:8baroness2: Uh huh! So, uhm. Questions! Let's see.

:8baroness1: Vicki will figure more stuff out as she gets better at magic. She's gotta work that muscle a little. Practice, practice, practice! As for V-2 here, well, we're gonna teach him the trade until he's ready to serve. Then he'll be ours until he dies!

:8baroness2: Dreamstealer's hiding away in an asylum, like the mad bastard he is. Ugh. We never liked asylums. Locking away the most interesting people in society to protect a few dull minded retards?... Whatever. We like to do whatever the hell is fun! Fucking is nice and all, and drugs are cool, but like we taught our girl, there's nothing like the rush of power! Pushing the limits, breaking boundaries, making reality your slut... but the drugs and fucking and stuff are totally cool too!

:8baroness1: We like our own brand of magic! Baroness style! We don't really do the schools that the mortals have to deal with. We can do whatever the hell we want! And bitchfests aren't very dumb to the poor dumb mortals who get caught in the crossfire, are they? I think every bitchfest is awesome. Peace and love is for losers!

:8baroness2: Vicki's a big ol' failure, so maybe she should be the goddess of that, huh? Awesome job security there! Nobody wants to be the god of failure! But she's interesting 'cause she's nothing. She's like a little kid! Kids have a whole world of possibilities ahead 'cause they can't do anything yet! So go nuts! Do whatever!

:8baroness1: Firebeard's trying to invent the new steam engine, the new computer- he's making something big, something that's gonna put dwarves back on the map! We totally applaud him for that. Fuck the goblins! Stupid jerks!

:8baroness2: And we use tentacles because, well, why the hell not? Tentacles are awesome! They're squirmy and slimy and totally unpredictable. We don't need to use them. We want to!

:8baroness1: Now give us more! Come on, we still got some time to burn! Victor, you got anything, little guy?

:8Victor: [[I- ah- I cannot think of anything... miss. It is... difficult to think clearly in your presence. You are a very imposing... woman.]]

:8Baroness2: So, do we care about the quality of the questions?

:8Baroness1: Hm...- not even a little tiny bit! Keep wasting time! That's perfect!

:8Baroness2: The metal bitch has a big goddamn stick up her ass 'cause she's a fucking goblin! The whole fucking race is like that! Keep an eye on your little green backstabber, by the way. She got kicked out of her own country, didn't she? I mean, I love a good outcast, but not when they're gonna fuck my projects over.

:8Baroness1: Steering right into more pleasant topics- we've fucked over the metal bitches plans so many times! It's so easy to destroy order, and so fucking hard to build it up again! We love it! But our best ever was definitely when we flung a plague ridden corpse into her perfect little model sterile city... had all the aristocrats and politicians and scientists eating each other in a week, on national television and the internet, streamed live to the whole wide world-- it was magical! And they couldn't even get out because of all the defences she set up! But we can't tell you how to fuck up her plans any more- you gotta figure that out for yourselves. Creativity is what we're all about!

:8Baroness2: Our flesh table? There's an odd question! We haven't used that in ages. It's tiny. And boring. We outgrew it years and years ago. But I guess it left an impression on our other servant, huh? Well, it probably would! We stuffed it in her room and all. We can still hear it screaming when we pass on by.

:8baroness1: And if you really have to know, we used to be a shining slab of manly dwarvenhood. Pretty much the opposite of that tiny toothpick you've got slinging fireballs. Just imagine everything he's not- that was us, alright? But maybe you should see the other gods before worrying about what Vicki will turn into, huh?

Well looks like he threw you into the thick of things. He said you have his gift until the end of the night so might as well make use of it.

The gift might be something that stabilizes your power. That or he is siphoning off the extra chaos in your magic and using it elsewhere.

Anyways you are in a vault somewhere and it looks like they got in without using the main door. So you will want to check around and see how they planned on leaving.

Once you figure out a escape plan look over what they were stealing. Looks like a bunch of purple bars and safety deposit boxes. We either want to have you cart off as much as you can or open a portal and get your team in here to clean the place out.

No. 634986 ID: fbc59e

Waaait a second. First off-what ARE these purple bar things? Can we do some scanning magic on them to figure out what they are?
Then? It depends on how easily we can sell em off/convert to money to pay lawyers. Oh, prolly should do something or another to those corpses and save em for the Baron. Sure, there's the bank robbery, buuuut I dunno how much we'll get from that...Or how much he will want.
I think that body-control spell Ava mentioned will work fine for that purpose, then we can do some sort of spell to send them into hibernation if there's such a thing?
And that, I suppose is about as much as I can think of to do...For now.

Try a scrying spell, now that you have control. Sense the location of Vicki and the others. I really don't think the Baron would send you right in the middle of your allies while they were disguised as enemies. He's trying to help us, remember? Also nobody had the capability for such convincing disguises... and disguises weren't part of the plan. Hell, Vicki and Firebeard were supposed to be a distraction.

Can you teleport stuff? You could teleport all the loot out. Well, there are probably teleport wards here. The Baron could overpower them but you might not be able to.

See if V-3 was a successful clone, or if the mostly-destroyed body you put him in fucked up the process. I wish you hadn't even tried, I mean if it worked you basically doomed yourself to being stuck in HALF of a corpse this time. Also uh, we still don't know any way to stabilize clones you've made in this way. They're doomed to rot. Unless you can straight up make a stable body for them with the controlled wild magic you have now?

After figuring out what's really going on, start shoving more loot in the bags these thieves brought. Do it as fast as possible. Then we can run off with the loot. Maybe you can disguise yourself as one of the thieves while doing so?

[[I am a very... distinctive figure, and I have no idea how competent these others were in preventing the authority's response and presence. For all I know, the room outside is swarmed with police. I believe acquiring a fitting disguise would be the best first move.]]

[[Unfortunately the only school of magic which deals directly with the body, which could be used to copy their appearance, is blood magic. Blood magic is fundamentally different from other types of magic- it is based in introverted ritual that absorbs magic rather then channelling and projecting it outward and- it doesn't matter, my point is that I do not have the faculties to do it. But I believe I have a another solution.]]

:8Victor: [[I wish I could perform more of what you ask- but teleportation, (while I feel it would be within my grasp), would likely be a very poor choice to attempt. Any bank worth their money will have stringent security measures put in place- possibly violent measures- designed to prevent exactly such a thing. And I do not know of any 'scrying' spells which would identify material- they may well exist, but I do not even know where to begin with attempting it. However, I am sure one of our party will know what it is, and what we can do with it. Firebeard is a dwarf, material is supposed to be their specialty. And Seshe is a rather smart woman as well.]]

Transfer V-3 to the girl, yes. See if we can refine the cloning procedure. SCIENCE! MAGIC SCIENCE!

Can you make a little golem out of raw materials present, to help with carrying stuff? Or fighting? Probably gonna have to do more fighting. V-3 will need some form of weapon as well. Perhaps you could enchant something to make an explosive? Sack of magical grenades seems like a good weapon.

[[...I gave his heart a squeeze. I do not fully understand elven anatomy but that ought to ensure he's fully deceased. In any case. I can most likely make a golem of some variety, but let us deal with the problem of V-3 and his body first. He seems to be struggling in the one he has now, and I am uncomfortable with the thought of a clone of myself confined into a great deal of pain.]]

[[Unfortunately I am unsure I would be gentle or precise enough to thaw the body without causing significant damage. Firebeard would likely do a better job then I, even with the knowledge I possess. It is his specialty. And her frozen nerves would surely dull any pain. I believe I should be able to slice cleanly through the ice, as a temporary solution. V-3 will have to tolerate a less ideal situation being stuck in a fully immobile body, for the time being. At least until we are back at home base.]]

[[Yes, see? This is why I cannot give any estimation of worth. We are clearly in an elven bank, which apparently does not use the gold standard. However, if they feel the need to store it securely, then it must be valuable to them, correct? If it holds no value to humans, we can simply fence it back to the elves.]]

[[I am not particularly happy to see the state the three who came before me have left this place in. Any semblance of subtlety has clearly been dragged from the premises and beaten to death with a socket wrench.]]

[[In any case, we are now prepared to leave. The shell has been filled with valuables in the form of the mysterious ingots as well as assorted jewellery and knickknacks, as well as V-3's severed head, in the hopes of restoring it to functionality later on. We do not have an exit portal, and I cannot form one inside the bank. Should I attempt to step outside and immediately create one? There is not any law enforcement visible directly through the window to the street, but that does not mean they aren't there and simply hiding toward the side. Elven law enforcement may be less directly confrontational and more prone to ambush. Or there may be nothing there at all.]]

[[Due to the nature of my magic, it would be difficult to set up fortifications outside without first opening the door, at which point the ambush might already be sprung. My magic is less subtle and more raw then a normal magician's- as I have mentioned, it is similar to a hose. I can control what comes out, but I cannot make the fountain spontaneously appear on the other side of the glass. I am the source, it must be connected through me.]]
