MAN, THIS WEEK HAS BEEN SURELY A WEIRD ONE.

BUT I STILL NEED TO FOCUS ON MY OBJECTIVE. FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BROTHER.

KONDA IS STILL SLEEPING SOUNDLY AND I DON'T FEEL LIKE WAKING A LADY UP. SHE DESERVE HER REST AFTER ALL THAT HAPPENED.

BUT I'M CURRENTLY WAY TOO AWAKE TO STAY IN BED. I SHOULD DO SOMETHING...

BUT WHAT?

PUSHUPS

Then go for a walk I guess. Don't forget your disguise.

>>750433
get breakfast, assuming the kitchen staff is awake that is.

A hearty breakfast and a morning exercise routine both sound like particularly KNIGHTLY ways to wake up. Got plenty of "sword" practice last night, but you ought to get some SWORD practice this morning.

First off.. Pants, and your armor.

>>750438
And definitely don't forget your DISGUISE.

Maintain your mighty bod with some morning exercise.

Put on your disguise and start getting the morning work out routine going. Gotta keep in shape.

Remember any dreams?

Also, yes, exercise

What time is it? You don't want to do anything that will wake her.

>do something
Admire sleeping lover? Lapse into making nude sketches?

Try on some of her clothes.

Your righteous body won't stay in that shape on it's own, find somewhere you can train and exercise without anyone disturbing you. If you have to go out for that, leave a note for Konda to read.

>>750451

Second this

Yeah get your pants and your mask, maybe go for a small walk, get some fresh air?

Put on your disguise and go for a run, but make sure to leave a note so she doesn't get the wrong idea.

IT FELT GOOD FOR ONCE TO REST WITHOUT DREAMS. WELL ASIDE FOR THAT WEIRD ONE DURING THE SLEEPOVER...

I STUMBLE A LITTLE IN THE DARK, SINCE I'M NOT USED TO DARKNESS.

I SHOULD PUT ON MY OWN CLOTHES BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, BUT I DON'T WANT TO WAKE KONDA UP. GOTTA GO BY TOUCH.

HERE, MY ARMOR, MY CAPE, MY UNDERWE...

KONDA'S UNDERWEAR.

MY ACTUAL UNDERWEAR AND SHOES.

AND NOW THAT I'M ALL DRESSED, TIME TO DO AT LEAST THE USUAL MORNING ROUTINE.

THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR BEING A SLACKER.

Work it! Alright now that that's out of the way what time is it Anyway? Maybe we could suprise Konda by bringing her breakfast in bed?

>>750784
Pushups.
In plate armor.
Let it never be said that you are a weak man.

KONDA IS STILL ASLEEP, AND SHE LOOKS RATHER ADORABLE. I SHOULD GET BREAKFAST FOR BOTH OF US.

Minotaur Maid: "Oh, hey! Goodmorning, you are up early"

"INDEED! I AM HERE TO GET BREAKFAST FOR MY MISTRESS."

Minotaur Maid: "Mh, yeah. It's kinda still early in the morning. We are still waiting for the bread to finish baking. Mind coming back in an hour? You'll get the first pick on those"

"UNDERSTOOD."

SINCE I NEED TO WAIT I'LL KEEP EXERCISING AT THE TRAINING GROUNDS. IT'S A GOOD THING I LEFT KONDA A NOTE ABOUT ME GOING TO GET BREAKFAST IN CASE SHE WAKES UP BECAUSE I DON'T FEEL LIKE GOING BACK TO THE ROOM AND DISTURB HER.

APPARENTLY I'M NOT THE FIRST ONE AT THE TRAINING GROUNDS. SOMEONE ELSE IS ALREADY TRAINING.

WAIT.

THAT'S THE GNOLL LIBRARIAN, LIMMERIA.

THAT'S KINDA SURPRISING, SHE DIDN'T LOOK LIKE THE KIND OF MONSTER ABLE TO WIELD A WEAPON.

AND YET THERE SHE IS, COMPLETELY ABSORBED ON HER SPEAR EXERCISED.

HER MOVEMENTS ARE ELEGANT AND COHORDINATED, MAKING IT LOOKS MORE LIKE SHE'S DANCING, BUT HER THRUSTS ARE FAST AND PRECISE.

SHE'S SO FOCUSED ON HER EXERCISES SHE STILL HASN'T NOTICED ME.

>>750784
How do you fit your arms into the tiny tiny sleeves on your armor?

>>750789
Watch / study her forms for a little while, until she either notices you or it would be rude not to make her aware of your presence.

Compliment her on her forms / offer any useful insight, as one warrior to another. Do you recognize what style or school she's been trained in, or what it's similar too? Even if she doesn't choose to engage in battle professional, martial discipline is to be respected!

Possibly could turn into mutual training / sparring.

Does the lady care for a quick match? We mustn't dally. Konda will be awake soon and we must be on time with breakfast, we are not savages after all.

Slay the beast!

With dance.

>>750791
Being allegedly undead, she may not take due caution with the blade against us, and we would have to awkwardly explain away our bleeding.

Begin sword dance, may your movements be as one flowing motion in time with hers!

>>750787
Think long and hard about this: If you come back in an hour and you're given milk, you wanna take a wild guess on where it came from? Either man up and drink it or give yours to Konda, she seems to like it.

>>750789
Wait for her to finish, then give her a round of applause.

Can't say I've ever seen a librarian handle a spear with such expertise and grace.

I suggest not getting close to her without announcing our presence... We don't wanna accidentally get stabbed.

Join in this dance of death! It will sharpen both body and soul!

>>750850
Librarian can't have a hobby?


Ask her if she would like to spar. Tell her that even though you are undead, you would rather not damage your body if necessary, so could we use training weapons?

>>750789
My, you seem quite skilled handling the shaft of that spear, you must have quite the history working with polearms

Offer a spar with her, with your training versions of your weapons. You both have training weapons, right?

>>750921
>Librarian can't have a hobby?
Indeed. Just say good morning, first. Once greetings are out of the way, then you can ask for a joint exercise. Which would either be sparring or just going through the routines together. If those routines are different from your own, maybe she can teach you them?

I'VE READ AND HEARD THAT GNOLLS ARE BARBARIC MONSTERS, THAT ACT MOSTLY ON INSTICT AND FERAL SPIRIT. BUT LADY LIMMERIA IS CLEARLY SHOWING THIS MIGHT NOT BE THE CASE.

SHE FINALLY ENDS HER LAST SET.

THE GNOLL LIBRARIAN LOOKS BACK AT ME, COVERING HERSELF UP AS IF I HAVE WALKED INTO HER WHILE SHE WAS TAKING A BATH.

Limmeria: "O-OH! S-s-sir Deathy... I-i am sorry. I thought the training grounds were empty at this moment of the d-day. I'll leave immediately!"

Inquire after more info. Also suggest a nude sparring match. Cause gotta get her out of her shell and not so nervous. Exposure therapy! Yeah, that's the ticket.

Nonsense! Now let's have a friendly match.

It's quite fine! Infact you were performing quite well, I've yet to see such dancelike motions yet be with such precision with a spear before, are you are a warrior?

No suggesting a nude sparring match, that would just make her more uncomfortable. Maybe mention something along those lines, though.

"No need! In fact, training is always better with a partner! Not only for sparring, but to mark out possible improvements that are hard to notice oneself - not that I saw many improvements to make, there! Perhaps shift your left hand grip a little on the upswing? You want the back of your hand to be facing the same direction as the lateral pressure on the spear is likely to be, when possible, so that it isn't so easily forced out of your hand through the space between your thumb and fingers! Do not be embarrassed. What is embarrassment but the desire to cover weaknesses? But on the training field, showing your weaknesses is exactly what you want to do, so that you can find them and eliminate them! Why, in older days - and warmer climes - many warrior societies practiced entirely in the nude! Even today, my own (former) people practice unarmed wrestling techniques with only the most minimal coverings. By comparison, you are dressed for a ball."

NONSENSE!
COME! LET US COME TOGETHER IN THIS MOST ANCIENT DANCE OF DEATH!

But she looks like she's merely just warmed up. It would be a shame to get herself all limbered up and not move on to a real workout.

>>751399
What are you apologizing for? Why do you think you must leave? You were using the training ground for its intended purpose, and with no small amount of skill, in my opinion.

Such martial discipline is to be commended! Especially in a scholar; many of your peers don't make sure they receive the necessary exercise. Or is your tradition of librarians more like monks- devoted to training mind and body? (Well, proper monks would be more spirit than mind).

Although I must admit, I am unfamiliar with the school or style you have been trained in. It must not be taught in human lands.

I was rather hoping you'd stay.

'TIS NOT COURTEOUS TO FLEE FROM A FRIENDLY CHALLENGE, LADY LIMMERIA. ESPECIALLY AFTER NEARLY LANDING THE FIRST BLOW.

No my lady! I wish to spar with thee!

No my lady! I wish to spar with thee!

>>751399
Tell her that there is no reason to feel ashamed, and that her technique is quite impressive.

Now if you want to spar or not its up to you guys.

"INTRIGUING. SO NOTHING FROM GNOLL CULTURE? IT DOES FEEL LIKE YOU WERE PERFECTLY ATTUNED TO IT."

I TAKE OFF MY CHEST ARMOUR WITH A SINGLE FLUID MOVENT

"THIS SHOULD HELP, RIGHT? JUST LIKE IN THE ANCIENT TIME!"

Limmeria: "That's not helping at all"

Woa, woa, woa, Stop right there, champion! She hasn't agreed to do a spar yet, she might be tired for doing those exercises, who knows how long has she been here? Meanwhile, I bet you are mostly fresh, even after those exercises you did early in the morning.

Also, you are an experienced fighter, while for what we know, she may not have been training her whole life, but does it as a hobby. If you ask me, this spar, as it is now, has "unfair" written all over it.

Let her think about this, perhaps you could even exchange diferent techniques before you start sparring.

>>753102
Man, your pants too? Gnoll culture really is primal!

WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE YOU MORE COMFORTABLE?

COMMENCE MUSCLE RIPPLING

She looks very tense. Did her warm up not limber her up properly? Does she need more time to stretch? We wouldn't want her to pull something while sparring.

>>753114
you make a good point, offer to give her a massage to help loosen her muscles

>>753104
This.

>>753101
What modifications?

If she doesn't want to spar, why not show off your own training routine?

>>753105
It can't be too different from ancient human culture. It was a time when bodily perfection was far more important.

What I'm trying to say is - don't be so culturally insensitive.

>>753102
bounce pecks as a distraction then hit her like a wrecking ball

THAT WAY LIMMERIA CAN HAVE A GOOD LOOK ON HOW THE MUSCLES WORK AND FLEX CORRECTLY DURING THESE KIND OF SWORD PRACTICES.

UNDERSTOOD. "

DEFINITIVELY! WE HAD A TIRESOME NIGHT SO SHE'S STILL CURRENTLY SLEEPING. I WENT TO GRAB BREAKFAST FOR HER BUT THE KITCHEN WASN'T OPEN YET."

Limmeria: "I see! that's chivalrious of you"

INDEED! AS I SAID, THE DUTY OF A KNIGHT IS TO PLEASE THE PERSON HE'S BOUND TO. EVEN IN UNDEATH."

Limmeria: "O-of course!"

MIND IF I ASK YOU SOMETHING?"

Limmeria: "No problem, go ahead!"

YOU SAID YOU MADE SOME MODIFICATIONS TO THE OUTFIT YOU WERE WEARING. HOW IS THE ORIGINAL GNOLL ARMOR YOU HAD?"

Limmeria: "Oh... UUUH..."

SHE COUGHS AND BLUSHES, LOOKING AT THE DOOR OF THE TRAINING GROUNDS.

Limmeria: "It was... how can i say... more barbaric. I added a lot of fabric to make it... less revealing"

UH.

ah so classic gnoll armor favors speed to the exclusion of all else, could probably only handle glancing blows from specific angles, if at all.

>>755317
Tell her it looks nice on her, and is more fitting of her reserved personality.

Oh I see, since she doesn't use it for actual combat she has less need to make sure opponents don't have any loose fabric to grab onto in the heat of battle.

I'd want some more protection if I was swinging around a sharp stick too.

Tell her you'd like to see her practice in a traditional gnoll outfit some time. It might help you better understand her people's ways. Maybe when you train together next time?

The effectiveness of armor depends upon what form of weapons are being guarded against. Are spears or tridents normal weapons for gnolls? Because minimal wear for an emphasis on speed were the way to go against such weapons. In fact, many warriors who used spears opted to wear nothing at all!

>>755317
"YES, I SEE YOU ADDED EXTRA ARMOR AND PADDING KNOWING FULL WELL YOU COULD COMPENSATE FOR THE EXTRA WEIGHT WITH YOU SUPERIOR SKILLS IN ADDITION TO THE ADDED PROTECTION. YOU MUST BE AN EXTRAORDINARY FIGHTER AMONG GNOLLS"

>>755317
Ah, you adapted it for more protection instead of favoring maneuverability.

You shouldn't be ashamed of that! Traditional styles have their merit, but adapting what you learn to fit your own needs is a part of the warrior's art. To live is to grow.

Why does she keep describing her people as 'barbaric'? People don't usually use slurs against their own kind.

Does she feel some sort of a disconnection from the feral savagery of gnolls?

>>755414
maybe its like the n word, only they can use it. even though its offensive no matter who uses it

>>755317
i hope someone asks us if we skip leg day

>>755414
Maybe she was raised by elves or something.

Apparently, whoever her master was that taught her, also taught her a sense of modesty. From the way she's talking, it sounds like she's embarrassed to show any skin, while other Gnolls have no problem doing that, wearing the minimum of at least a loincloth.

>>755498
Technically, she never reveals any skin. She's covered in fur.

>>755501
It's a just figure of speech. It doesn't really sound right when you say, "she's embarrassed to show any fur". Especially since she's always showing it.

OH! Is she training with heavier gear than she would use in real combat? That's amazing!

Such craftsmanship in her training

>>755317
WHAT IMPRESSIVE DEDICATION.

She's as dedicated as this mob is!

The tribes that live there have been at war for centuries before the Council was formed, and to this day the rivalry between them are more than alive. Mostly skirmishes and quarrels, but never actual war. The Empress is one of the few completely neutral powers over the lands, which is why she was chosen to hold the council this decade, but she is worried the representatives will still cause trouble."

Which would normally be a good thing. But unfortunately, he's wearing a helmet with eyeholes big enough for Konda's horns to go through. So he still got his eye poked by a horn.

If you could find some way to calm down that dwarf then maybe you could get more information out of him. Hypnosis therapy? Magic memory manipulation? An extra strength calming spell?

Right now maybe you should see if Konda's ass has some hidden divine powers after all.

Well, has she thought of taking up the Kobold Empress's offer? The favor for a favor?

I DON'T EVEN SLIP OUT OF MY ARMOR, BUT SIMPLY LOWER MY TUNIC AND CODPIECE TO SLIDE INSIDE HER, AS SHE LOWER HER BACK TO MY LEVEL.

IT TAKES A FEW SECONDS TO ADJUST TO THE CORRECT POSITION, SINCE I'M NOT USED TO A TALLER PARTNER, BUT THEN I CAN FINALLY ADMIRE THE GIGGLING MOTIONS ON HER LOWER BACK AS I START GIVING THE RHYTHM. THE GIGGLE IS ALMOST HYPNOTIC...

HER BACK ARCHES A LITTLE, WHILE HER CLAWS CLASP AT THE DRESSER AND HER TAIL WRAPS AROUND MY CHEST.

Did you lock the door? actually, now that I think about it, did you remember to even CLOSE the door?

Did you finish, yourself? You don't want to come down with the curse of the sapphire spheres while you're trying to do other things.

Good to have her in solid spirits. Now time to refocus our efforts a bit towards the family matters. I'm wondering if that Kobold princess might be willing to help, or if you could possibly look up any kind of recent history...although you sorta did try that.

Naiad priestess: "Decorum? With these creatures going around in their revealing and indecent outfits?"

Harpy: "HEY LISTEN YOU CLOTH-FACED, WATER-GAGGER, STIFF-ASS, ALGAE COVERED PRICKS! WE ARE DECENT ENOUGH TO HAVE PUT ACTUAL CLOTHES ON. IF IT WAS FOR ME I'D BE LIKE MOTHER NATURE MADE ME. LIKE NATURE WANTS ME TO BE! INSTEAD OF HIDING MY SKIN IN POTATO SACKS LIKE YOU!"

Naiad priestess: "HOW DARE YOU!"

Golem Butler: " Oh, bother... "

Good morning ladies and Butler! What I'm seeing here is actually more of a problem of not being able to understand each other's culture. This should be a time of learning about each other's culture and coming together, this summit is meant to unite monster kind, not squabble over our choice of wardrobe.

REMOVE UPPER ARMOR AND ASK WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.
The power of your pecks will solve this.
It is the only way.

Ladies, ladies, isn't this a summit? If we can't even put aside our personal grievances with one another how are we supposed to tackle the big issues of state we are supposed to be dealing with here?

Should you even get involved? The priests might see through Konda's illusion spell.

If you're really interested in engaging every monster problem you come across, pull the butler over to give you a better context of the situation.

Inform the Naiad that it she is in no position to enforce her culture on the harpies. Both groups are in the territory of the kobold queen, and any petty issues should be dealt with by her staff.

>>787816
Use your McHammer Family Muscles to save Super Ultra Mega Robot Butler by tearing off the patato sacks and putting them on the harpies.

Ladies, Ladies, let us remember we are here to come together in cooperation. We have bigger problems to handle. Now, I'm sure this fine Butler here can help minimize the time frame you all have to rub shoulders, but in return you have to remember that you are GUESTS. There is an expectation of civilized behavior, even if you see something unsettling. Remember you are representing your people, be sure to act in a way to make them proud!

Aren't Naiads really prone to jealousy? That's probably the root cause of this conflict. Do they react the same way to undressed men?

Interrupt the situation by BARING YOUR POWERFUL UPPER BODY and ask the butler if he can inspect your triceps for potential muscle decay or some other excuse so you can whisper to him and maybe agree on a way to resolve this.

You are a knight and a guest in this house, it is only your noble duty to help maintain order withing these walls, ask the humble golem butler if he needs any assitance (only to ingore him if he says no).

We will have to assess the situation first, use your chivalrous manners and diplomacy to try to calm the tension and then figure out how all of this started.

Also... Is their first day or something? I thought many came to this meeting already in knowledge of what they could find, and would, at least, be modest and avoid provoking conflicts at all times if possible...

>>787816
I wonder if there are any illusion spells available, so that the harpies could go around clothed in the manner of their preference, and others will see only what they want to see? Surely that kind of thing might be within the power of our hosts here, in the name of keeping the peace.

>"No, unless you don't want me to kill him and ask his corpse."
I'll save that as a plan B. It's kind of final, and we're apt to make enemies killing people.

>>787816
I believe this summit is meant as an exchange of ideas and cultures, not a competition. Need either of you seek so vigorously to convert the other?

Ask them politely yet firmly to shout and bicker where people aren't trying to sleep.

>>788472
good idea, illusion projection necklaces.

Yeah, they might even get a thrill out of faking modest clothing while being completely naked.

And, of course, you might mention to them that a sufficiently careful illusion could be selective, only appearing to those whose sensibilities might be offended, not to those who don't mind. So others can enjoy the sights in the manner the harpies would enjoy.

>>789686
>>789698
Asking after the empress presumes you're willing to take her up on her offer, a "favour for a favour". You're an honorable knight; you shouldn't do that without talking to Konda. While what you said to the empress about needing her permission as your "master" in the necromantic sense wasn't true, you should still ask her as your lover.

And ask her if she would like to join you in seeking the empress's favour.

>>789864
This. Do ask if the empress might have some time to meet with you later in the day, but then go talk to Konda.

>>789686
I think we should focus on meeting any new arrivals. Accompany Golem Butler and ask if the harpies want to come along. Maybe chat a bit with them to see what they're trying to achieve at this summit, what they are good at, that sort of thing.

Avoid the empress for now.

>>789685
>Crotchbiter

Amazing. This individual has a destiny to fulfil.

>>789864
This; ask if the empress has time to meet you later, and then talk to Konda.

If the time the empress has to meet with you is later in the day, then speak further with the harpies about the summit.

Isn't that who you're with? Uh, don't ask the Golem Butler that. Let's go ask Konda herself.

Let's go ask Konda about that also. Let her decide when to do that.

Absolute savages.

Golden trio? Who are they?

What's your opinion of alcohol?

>>791718
Wouldn't a true butler omit such a remark on the basis of courtesy to the guests? He must be a spy - a 'hide-in-plain-sight' spy.

>>791777
It's a courtesy to point out that we forgot, as someone else with less discretion could have wandered in.

>>791723
>>791715
>>'the favour for a favour'.
> Let's go ask Konda about that also. Let her decide when to do that.

Yes, let's do that.

And let's ask Konda about the "Lady Konda of the third Hell" thing. Wouldn't the butler already know that Konda had arrived, though?

>>791849
nb4 it's her mother.

Konda the Sorceress is a half-demon.

Lady Konda of the Third Hell is presumably her demonic progenitor.

Either way, we should set up an appointment with the Kobold Empress, and remember to LOCK THE FUCKING DOOR NEXT TIME.

Hey there are shops. Is there a way to earn money around here? Preferably through fighting and winning.

Otherwise check out the inner gardens and bar. That way you can also keep an eye on the entrance for interesting newcomers.

>My full name is Ultra Lord Castellan Ultimate Robot Butler Junior
Ulcur Bj.

...that sounds lewd.

>Lady Konda of the third Hell
Is there more than one Lady Konda? My mistress would seem to have already arrived.

>>791718
I thank you for your discretion, good sir, and apologize for the impropriety.

"UHM. YES... I WILL DO THAT..."

Golem Butler: "Anything else i can help you with?"

"WELL, I WILL HAVE TO TALK TO MY MISTRESS, BUT I'LL CONTACT YOU AS SOON AS WE REACHED A DECISION"

Golem Butler: "As you wish, sir. Now if you don't mind, i'd like to show the ladies to their rooms."

IT'S TOO EARLY TO GO BACK TO KONDA, I ONLY LEFT A FEW MINUTES AGO. BETTER GIVE HER MORE TIME TO THINK ABOUT THE FAVOUR. AND PROBABLY TELL HER THAT ONE OF HER RELATIVES MIGHT BE COMING TOO.

FOR NOW LET'S CHECK THE BAR. IT'S CLOSER TO THE LOBBY SO I CAN HAVE AN EXCUSE TO SCOUT THE NEW ARRIVALS.

PLACE LOOKS NICE. REALLY CLEAN, REALLY TIDY. AND RATHER BIG. YOU CAN FIT GIANTS IN HERE.

IT SEEMS THE ONLY WORKER AT THE BAR IS A SHORT STURDY LOOKING ORC FEMALE.

Orc barmaid: "Oh, hello sir. Welcome. My name is Bertah and i run the bar here. You'd like something to drink?"

a light ale, it is the morning afterall. ask about the little thing drinking too, not sure drinking your own body weight is a good idea.

A tankard of the darkest and most nutrition packed ale there is! Also is that a tiny moth person?

Ask Bertah if she has seen many of these councils. Are there any individuals of note that you should watch out for?

Are there any giants in the bar right now?

>>792489
Seeing as how this is our first time at the council maybe see what other information she can tell us. What is usually discussed at these meetings?

>>792481
just have whatever is on tap

>>792481
I'm sorry, you seem to have a bug in your drink.

>>792489
Seconding all of this; she's likely to have a unique perspective and insight.

>>792481
When you are done at the bar, order a second round of the dark, nutritious brew to go, and bring it back for Konda. She might want the energy, as well as a bit of courage.

Primula: "I fucking sure am! Had to fucking listen to those nuns preaching about my clothes for the entire time i escorted them here. I deserve to get drunk!"

"INDEED. I'M A SERVANT OF LADY KONDA"

Primula: "Jo or Hira?"

"LADY HIRA KONDA"

Primula: "Oh yeah the necromancer, makes sense. I don't think i have ever seen her around the council much. So anyway. Since we are both in the same line of work i imagine, remember this. Try to not cause problems. Or you won't get a single coin back. Avoid getting between rival tribes or lovers. Trust me. You'll li... survive longer."

"I WAS MORE CURIOUS ON WHAT IS GOING TO BE TALKED ABOUT IN THE COUNCIL, HONESTLY"

Primula: "Oh that. Meh. It's always a big fucking pool of morons"

Bertah: "Primula, come on"

Primula: "Hey, they are! Most of the time it's just stupid squabble about lands and the menace from the human kingdoms, or something stupid like 'UH-BLUH-BLUH THE DWARVES OVERCHARGE FOR REBUILDING MY DUNGEON HOW AM I GOING TO KEEP MY JOB TO ATTRACT AND TRAP ADVENTURERS IF I CAN'T EVEN HAVE A TREASURE ROOM!' and shit like that"

Primula: "Just kidding, man. I'm not paid enough for that hahahahahah!!!"

"SPEAKING OF PEOPLE I SHOULD BE LOOKING FOR, OR AVOID. ANY SUGGESTION?"

Primula: "Yeah buddy. Watch out for the golden Trio."

"WHO ARE THOSE?"

Primula: "Trio of fuckboys, i'll tell you what"

Bertah: "Yeah, have to agree on that"

Primula: "Richest fuckers in all the lands. Half-blood Twins that have inherited from their gorgon mother the ability to turn into minerals their victims. They like gold. a lot!"

"THEY... SOUND UNPLEASANT..."

Primula: "You can bet, man. Just avoid those fuckers if you can. Anything else you want to know?"

ask if she wishes to spar later, you have never fought a pixie before and are curious how their combat style works. make it clear you are not doubting her skill at her job, you are just curious.

Wanna fight later? She's got flexibility, but you've got reach.

>>793351
Could I possibly see this giant of yours I haven't had a good round in ages.

Ask her about the OTHER Lady Konda.

>>793351
>I would have gutted that fucking Naiad as soon as she commented on my ass."
Was she complimenting it? Because I bet it's pretty fine.

>inherited from their gorgon mother the ability to turn into minerals their victims
>"THEY... SOUND UNPLEASANT..."
To be fair, is petrifying someone any less unpleasant than running them though with a sword?

>>793374
Yes.

Primula: "You are working for her daughter, dude. How do you not know about Lady Jo?"

"I... UHM..."

Primula: "She's a ruthless and powerful demon, centuries ago she rose among her own kin and seized control of the third hell. She's one of the few neutral powers in the entire Monsterlands, as her demons act as a mercenrary force when a regime becomes unstable. She's a regular presence during the council and few have the guts to contradict her will."

HOW DID SOMEONE LIKE KONDA CAME OUT FROM THE LOINS OF SOMEONE THAT SOUND SO DREADFUL...

Primula: "Despite that, she pretty much only real care about her own place for what i heard. I got only one advice, don't cross her ever. EVER! In the few centuries i've seen her in the council i saw with my eyes giants shat themselves in her presence. And then that time she obliterated that dragon for making fun of her dress. EEESH!"

"YES THANK YOU, I THINK I HEARD ENOUGH. LET'S CHANGE SUBJECT. WOULD YOU BE INTERESTED IN SPARRING?"

Primula: "Who me? With you?"

"YES, SINCE I STARTED SERVING UNDER LADY KONDA, I WANTED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE WAY OF FIGHTING FROM OTHERS IN THESE LANDS. I'D BE CURIOUS TO SEE YOUR STYLE."

SHE GIVES ME A WEIRD LOOK

Primula: "I mean, sure. If you have a death wish! Not now though. I'm tired and i'm in the middle of my beauty bath"

"YOU BATHE IN YOUR BEER?"

Primula: "Two drakes with one rock, dude. You should try."

I heard an invitation to try her beer! Just a sip, though, ever the gentleman. Maybe it adds pixie dust to the flavor?

No, I don't have a death wish. However, if you greatly outclass me in the combative arts, you would be able to hold back so I can learn without major injury, yes? I am ever the student of this art!

>>793639
Pick up that mug and pound it. Like a manly man.

>>793649
No violence while a guest! It breaks the rules of hospitality and is therefore unknightly.

No, you fools, she's saying we should try bathing in beer. I say pass on that. Also, ew, drinking someone's bathwater?!

Thank her for the info and drink some of your beer.

...uhhh, can you even drink with that bag on your head?

>>793639
Drink the bath try it like she said. Would you happen to know what properties Pixie dust has when mixed with alcohol?

>>793677
Drink the fairy beer yes

>>793639
Yes, try it.

>>793645
And this. Surely if she that far outclasses us, we might learn something!

She's not saying drink HER bath beer -- that would be rude to do! -- She's saying try bathing in beer and drinking it on our own!

God dammit guys shes obviously trying to tell us to drink a bathtub full of beer instead of bathing!
Now get a straw so we don't have to risk someone noticing discrepancies with our head bag illusion.

Comically misinterpret her suggestion, and sip the beer that currently has her in it.
