There was, in fact, a abusive slave owner. You're carrying him.

>>707994
"There was, in fact, a abusive slave owner. You're carrying him." The Infinity Knight nods and barks some orders to his colleagues in some foreign language. "He will be apprehended and punished for his actions. Thank you citizen." With that, the Infinity Knight leaves. The slave looks up at you. She is a tall, broad, dark skinned clone. On closer inspection, it appears she is a cyborg: her eyes have been replaced. The other slaves look at you expectingly. That's when you remember the Sacra's children golden rule: you keep what you can beat. These slaves now belong to you. What will you with them?
>Take them along with you
>Harvest their souls
>Sell them off

What can we do with souls

I mean we know it's the currency but what can you DO with them

Take them with you, I guess. I suppose they might be good for something!

Ask them to tell you about themselves.

>harvest souls
So... if abusing slaves is illegal, there's a non-abusive way to do that?

>>708030
You can use 20 of them to boost a roll, giving you effectively + 10 to one of your stats, and therefore a higher level of succeeding. You can also use them to heal your hp, at 10 souls/hp point.

Abusive slaves is illegal for the Sacra's Chosen. You are a Death Scythe. It's weird political shit.

BTW, you know this quest now has its own questdis to ask your meta in.
>>/questdis/98282

Take them with us

>>708119
You look down on the slaves. "Come with me." you say. Now, you'll need a place to stay for the night, before the gates close. You could stay in a hostel, but Tiberius and the Endless Swarm will need a dark place in order to cocoon, like a cave. But the slaves will most likely feel scared or cold in any place suited for the Spawn. There are 3 places in the city you could go.
>The old Iron Caves
>The Bear Skull hostel
>Look elsewhere (Prompt a roll)

rolled 99 = 99

---

Let's look elsewhere

>>708157
Aren't there any inns or hotels with basements.

>>708183
None with the requirements that Tiberius needs. Lots of them put their solar generators in the basement, and there would be too much noise and heat for them to slumber.

>>708179
Not only can you not find any place to stay, but with one look at the company you're keeping, all the hostels lock and slam the door in your face. With no other choice, you are forced to go to the old mines, where iron used to be extracted until the vein ran out. You go deep enough inside the cave to avoid the incoming storm, but not so deep that those without unnatural vision can't see. After a while, the slaves stop shivering and go to sleep. You still hear the sounds of breathing down towards the cave, so you go investigate.

>After a while, the slaves stop shivering and go to sleep.
Maybe you should have gotten them basic camping gear, if you desire for them to stay slaves, and not 'upgrade' to fresh necromatic components.

That or I wonder if there are "stables" and/or pet sitters where you can drop slaves off when you have to be someplace uncharitable to life.

Further down the cave, you find one of the slaves, the cybernetic one, working with a gun. It is oily and greasy, but seems to work perfectly. A closer look reveals that the gun is plugged into her via a port in her neck. When you accidentally knock over a stone, she spins around and points the gun at you, before realizing who it is, and quickly dropping the gun. "I am sorry, master. Please forgive me." she seems somewhat...scared. What will you say?
>"Never do that again."
>Say nothing
>"What are you apologizing for; you didn't do anything."

Say nothing, walk over and inspect the gun

Neither tending to one's weapons nor keeping alert are mistakes to apologize for.

And yeah, inspect the gun.

>>708231
You simply walk over and hold out your hand. Obediently, she hands over the gun to you. It seems very well-made, almost fit for royalty and most definetly belonged to a noble. Although you didn't ask, she says, "It was my father's, he was a wealthy merchant. One day, he was transporting goods when he got attacked by a Death Scythe raiding party. Only we survived, and one of the raiders stabbed me through the eye. We came here, it was the closest town. My father had to sell me into slavery in order to get cybernetics I needed. He...he didn't survive. He was stabbed in the stomach and didn't get it treated."

Ask if she picked up any of her father's skills and then inform her she is in charge of organizing the other servants.

>>708299
You ask her if her father taught her any skills. "My father was a former cleric, and he taught me some battle hymns." As you begin to go towards the front of the cave, she says out loud, "Remina." When you turn, you find she's suddenly in front of you. "My name is Remina."

We are Cors, nice to meet you.

>>708342
From behind you say to her, "My name is Cors, Remulus Cors Blackbane." She keeps walking.

The next morning, Remina is rousing the slaves from sleep. You had been scouting out the cave, and it seems like it is mostly empty. Tiberius and his brood are emerging from their cocoons, followed closely by the grunts. Remina asks, "What guild do you belong to master?" You space out for a second and she sighs. "You never joined a guild, did you. How did you expect to get jobs? Well, there are 3 in town: the Blackwater Guild, the Boar's Head Mercenary Company, and the Doombringers Raid Association. Which one will you join?"

Suggestion 2016/03/13(Sun)12:39 No. 708898 ID: 47160d

Well tell us more about each one

>>708898
"What are each one like?" you ask. "Well, Blackwater seems really shady, and I heard all they accept are Assassination and Target Recovery Jobs, and they have a lot of necromancers. The Boar's Head is more of a private army, and they get paid well for doing Escort and Assistance jobs. The Doombringers is made up of mostly Death Scythes, and they get a lot of Raid and Robbery jobs."

Anyone playingz?

>>708908
Boar's head seems more our kind of thing, even if we are a necromancer.

>>709194
There was no downtime for questing at work today.

>>709247
"We shall join the Boar's Head guild." you say. The lot of you head into the town again. Now that your already large group is now being augmented by slaves, you're getting quite a lot of stares. You finally reach the Boar's Head guild house, which happens to double as a tavern and an inn. A rough and tumble old pirate greets you. "Welcome to the Boar's Head Tavern, what can I get you?" You say, "We're here to join the guild." The pirate rubs his stubble. "We don't let people in that easily. Tell you want. If you can do one of those jobs on the board over there, we'll let you join." There are 3 jobs on the board that seem easy enough.

>Escort
-Escort an alchemist to Gravedigger Junction safely
-Reward: 300 Souls
-Class: C, might encounter Sons of Chaos

>Target Capture
-A B-class Sons of Chaos warmonger has been spotted, along with its Blood Drawl companions. Capture it and take it elsewhere
-Subject is very violent, but cunning, so engage cautiously
-Reward: 900 Souls
-Class: A-, Blood Drawls have exhibited self-endangering abilities and can become "Blood Bombs"
There's a note scribbled underneath it in pencil
-NOTE: The subject is female and has been observed to enjoy drinking constests. This might be a way to beat her!

>Assassinate
-Take out a Legion of Rukt Noble that is endangering the town
-Noble has displayed the ability to clone himself. However, these clones pale in ability to the original, and have a slight transparency.
-Recommended do not engage alone, job hunters have DIED trying to take this mission on!

Hmmm how likely would we be able to get her into a drinking contest and win? If not with us then with one of our compatriots

>>709462
Sons of Chaos are notorious for their pride. If you challenge them, they will respond. however, they are also notorious for their alcohol tolerance, thanks to their fast metabolism.

Yeah but... can we even get drunk?

>>709469
You can, with some very special drinks tailored especially to your kind.

...so what is our tolerance for such drinks

>>709475
You're tolerance is a bit higher than your normal human man.

Hmmm check how the others are

>>709479
You think about the overall alcohol tolerance of all the races.
-Clone: A little below average
-Endless Swarm: Very high
-Sacra's Chosen: Below average
-Legion of Rukt: Immune
-Death Scythe: Average
-Sons of Chaos: Very High
-Principality of Order: A bit above average

Ask if our endless swarm buddies would be willing to help

>>709487
You walk up to the pirate again. You hand him the job paper you picked. He raises his eyebrow in amusement, but points out the area where the Warmonger has been spotted. Now, the party is too big for this mission. The most you should bring is four. Who will be taken with you?

Hello?

>>709514
Fishing for replies.

>>711909
Okay, I didn't want to pick the people cause I wasn't feeling the drinking challenge thing, but I guess I'll keep things going.

I assume dead familiars will be terrible for this.

Cors is the PC, he goes. Tiberious is endless swarm, so he's got high resistance. Then Augustus for the same reason. Then Remina for the lulz. Need at least one gal alone for the monster booze party. That's 4.

(I assume the "grunt horde" would count as more than one person? If not, maybe swap them for Augustus just for weight of bodies).

>>711964
You don't have to do the challenge. The party you picked is fine for just fighting. It all depends on who gets the first vote ;D.

You take Tiberius, Augustus, and Remina with you. You feel that a mix of both melee and ranged is the best. The old pirate wishes you luck. On your way through, you are attacked by...

I will note that the Wendigo is Undead, so you can try to take control of it. You will however incur a +20 roll deficit due to the Intelligent trait.

And forced burial'd.

The two brood-brothers team up on it, doing noticeable damage, while Remina aims and does some damage. You harness the power of Earth Magic and bring the ground crumbling around it. It is temporarily trapped, and you take the opportunity to run. A few minutes later, you hear it emerge once again enraged.

>>712716
Your party next encounters a Beastmaster and his Hell-hounds. The beastmaster and the hell-hounds are both variations of the common Sons of Chaos species of Imp. The Beastmaster is simply a more intelligent imp, while hell-hounds are the more canine relatives. Both are rather dangerous alone, but together they are a fearsome combination.

>>712777
{Choose your actions, there is a beastmaster and 3 hell-hounds}

rolled 33 = 33

---

>>712777
Cors tries to talk to / make an appeal to the imp. Assuming it lives up to impish sterotypes, it'll probably enjoy having power over him / taunting him / the opportunity to humiliate him instead of immediately ordering the hounds to charge.

This is a distraction. Giving Remina a chance to stealthily line up a shot and cheap shot it.

The hounds will be much easier to dispatch if their tamer is dead.

>>713078
You try talking to the Beastmaster first, "Might you let some weary travelers through? We seek no trouble." The imp laughs. "I can only let you through if you can answer my riddle. 'You can't see me, yet I'm always there. You can't feel me, yet I'm in your hair. You can't touch me, but I keep you on the ground. You can't hear me, but everything I drop makes a sound. Who am I?"

>>714281
That's a tough one. My first thought is air, which meets the first two requirements. But it's sort of hard to argue it keeps you on the ground (unless it means it keeps you breathing, and not under the ground? Not that most the undead around here need air). And things dropping from the air make sounds, but you can hear the wind.

Gravity also comes to mind, but you do feel it, and it doesn't really drop anything.

Unless someone else thinks of the answer, I think I'm still for Remina cheapshotting him while Cors makes a show of agonizing over the riddle.

>>714322
Remina moves to fire at the beast master as you distract him with attempting to solve the riddle.
(Roll under Accuracy 85, then 1d10 + STR 10 vs armor 8.)

rolled 5 = 5

>>714704
Accuracy

rolled 6 + 10 = 16

Holy heck is that a good roll.

Now let's see if that super precise shot does any damage.

(Derp, trying again, the first time I rolled 1d0).

>>714785
>>714788
Remina lines up the shot just perfectly to hit the chest, taking out the beastmaster's arcane nexus and killing it. The confused hellhounds bound off into the wild.

You are suddenly surrounded by suffocating darkness.

???:Good job you guys. You did that a lot better than I thought you would. Keep up the good work, and you might get your original bodies back.

You drop back into real space, with you being carried of Tiberius' back. Hearing you awaken, he says, "You okay? You went into some kind of trance. By the way, we got some kind of strange soul."

You gained 1 Exalted Soul : Exalted souls can be used to turn a critical failure into a critical success, or force the enemy to fail a roll.

Roll for your next encounter, please. 1d10+1.

Safest course of action would be to keep our distance, and either hit it with a forced burial to dampen the explosion, or just pop it at range with a gunshot.

As you and the crew stumble through the forests, you finally find the ransacked temple that is supposedly the home of your target.

And Cors can make actions again.

Tiberius can attempt to take control of it, then.

If that fails, Remina shoots, Augustus attacks, and Cors... uh, creates a golem to engage it / tank hits for the party. Let's mix up the spell usage a little.

The Lesser Wendigo strikes back, furious with pain. He charges into Augustus, attacking. (Swordsmanship 70 vs Agility 60, 1d100 from you guys and if my roll is greater than yours, I hit. That's how I'm doing it now.)

Okay, let's try to control one and set it on the other!

(Test Failed)
The combined efforts of the two necromancers still aren't enough to take hold of the Wendigo's mind.

Augustus and Remina can still make actions. The Battle Hymns for Remina have been explained on the stat sheet.

Wait, I thought rolling high was good now. Or what was it we even had to roll under?

>what do
Remina: Valyrie's Ride
Augustus: Mount one of these things.

>>747972

Augustus can't mount that! He has Mounted (Butcher), not Mounted(Undead)!
