Looks like he's set up to barrage you as cover to close distance and spike.
So how about this? Beat him to the punch with your own charge. Boost up and shield slam him like a snowboarder. Even if he can spike through the shield he'll only hit your legs. Then he'll be open for smg to the face.

"Quick question, how will this be any fun for you when I haven't even reloaded yet?"

Freak him out.

"THEY'RE IN MY HEAD! GET THEM OUT, GET-"
Cut comms, mash the controls, and shoot blindly around him. While he's distracted, boost up wildly - then change tactics and burst-fire straight to his legs.

So many possible one-liners... "Oh this isn't hell?" "Perhaps in a few decades." "Ain't gettin' paid enough to die." Still, gotta go with this. "Sorry - too busy impressing your employers." Looks like he's mostly got explosives. Get too close for him to use those without blowing himself up. Just watch out for that right arm of his - whatever it is it's not a hand.

"So, is there an assassination mission on me yet, or are you doing this pro bono?"

C, but gently.
Tell them how since youve got here every action youve taken has been focused on putting right the damage caused.
You did the textiles course with the sole goal of being able to heal the most heavily injured.
Not for fun.
Not for the prize.
To fix people.
Trying this on anyone is the last thing you want to do, but if it can result in cleaner healed wounds everyone benefits. Even long after you and the others have left this place.
They know gun better than you, but even you could tell if he was given the choice between a more solid healing or the best stitching you could do, hed take the risk.
Not just for himself, but for the others who will benefit.
Besides...
Let it be known that the time turner is held in reserve so if anything goes wrong it can be reversed.

>>1097047
Well, if Pinch doesn't want to take the risk, we can't just do B without her consent. I'd jump straight into the hand on stove technique if it was just us, but it's her body too.

But Timewinder is too existentially valuable to use in anything but an emergency. Luckily no one actually knows about it either, since Pinch is a sneaky devil about it. Let's not mention it at all.

C. I wouldn't completely dismiss their claims that normal homunculi have been the ones getting hurt, but Kentaro has also been the one testing and pioneering ways to repair the damage.

And they're not wrong to be worried about their friend. If something goes wrong, we could ruin Gun's torso and compromise his body permanently. We should at least stitch him conscious and get his informed consent before attempt any procedure.

If Mushi wanted, we could also test with an attempt to reattach his hand. There's still a risk of losing it, so don't pressure him.

>Strong C
You don’t want to wait until after Gun wakes up to ask for his permission because that’ll take a long time and you likewise won’t be able to remove any side effects with Timewinder because you’re pretty sure a long time is more than a day. Since you’ve decided not to use the spell, you’ll keep the fact that you have it a secret.

You: Both Pinch and Kentaro have gotten hurt, remember? Pinch stuck Kentaro with her pincers and then got them cut off in retaliation. No one expected all of this to happen, especially not for there to be weapons that caused catastrophic injuries. I’ve been trying to minimize damage and help fix people this whole time! Everyone benefits if I do this experiment, and I’ll be super careful.

Mushi: Okay, that’s all true, but those injuries aren’t on the same scale as ours and even if you have been trying to help it doesn’t give you permission to experiment on us. If you’re not willing to test the stove on yourself first, I’m going to ask for Gun back so I can sew him together and put him to bed.

You: What? C’mon Mushi, you know Gun would take the risk if it meant he could fight again.

Mushi: Maybe, but he can’t tell us right now, can he? Doing something like this would just be wrong. Give me Gun or I’ll push the button and call the Creator here to fix everything.

Even Raito looks surprised at this ultimatum and Kage gets up from the chair to block Mushi’s path to the button. The green-haired boy puts up his fists.

Raito: Everyone calm down, let’s not fight. Kench, it’d be best if you gave us Gun.

Mushi: Um, but please prep him for sewing with your pincer before you hand him over.

It's an iron circle necromancy spell, "Hungry Creeping Shadow." Agents of the Mask of Winters sometimes use it to stop riots by silencing visible leaders. Gives up the chase if you can evade it for an hour, or when touched by fire. If it already grabbed the target, fire usually won't save them, and it only goes after one person per casting anyway. Immune to ordinary weapons.

After Cold, Woe, and the lizardfolk are through the door and it's closed behind them, G'ruk runs a finger along the seams, and stone flows like wax to seal it shut. The rest of them keep moving down the dark tunnel: sixty feet north, ten feet east, then, halfway down a flight of stairs which descend 20' over the course of 30' horizontally they abruptly stop. The lizardman with the blue scars indicates a small hole in the north wall.

well, with your shirt all torn up you need to find somewhere where you'd blend in. Head towards the strip club where no one will give you a second glance while you try and find something to cover yourself up with. Hell maybe you'll get lucky and be able to nab some of the striper's clothes when they toss their clothes to the side.

Does anyone still get physical newspapers in your neighborhood? That would be an easy fix for your shirt problem.

wear your shirt backwards! the perfect crime! will cover up your breasts (but inconveniently reveal your crotch since the backside was drafty, probably revealing your butt)

And yeah maybe look for some newspaper, but also remember that you left a key somewhere in the yard. Hopefully mr or ms angry squirrel you just pissed off isn't there waiting for you later, wherever it is... not that you remember right now!

Maintenece: Shirt backwards, get a newspaper. Also, think you can use the morning dew on the grass as liquid to stick some leaves on your private parts?

What do: got a trampoline? If not, steal borrow one from a neighbor, and drag it under the open window. Then, bounce bounce bounce higher and higher until you can reach and climb in the window. Dont worry, its totally not because we wanna see your breasts bounce or anything

As for the promise, for the sake of the child and Carter. Promise that you'll do then speak with him after this. Also, take a look at the drawings that Carter made, I can only assume they're just the monsters that appear in the card game he likes.

Magicli Q&A and meet and Greet:
Meet your new Teachers and Fellow students after our onboarding process. Ask any of us burning questions that may be on your mind, and we'll answer them with 100% accuracy and Truthfulness unless we deem your question to be a threat to the school, faculty, or students.

Tuesday 3:30 pm
Location:
Magical History:
Learn more about Magic and its ties to theology, how the goddesses affect certain types of Magic, the racial differences between their spawns, and how this affects their Magic; this will be as much a history lesson as a theology lesson.

I think letting my imagination run wild was Wilabo's first mistake; her second mistake was being Wilabo, I think I get a decent idea of what those two are doing, and as much as I want to press them on it, I think allowing you to give suggestions on what should I say to tease her.

What should I ask Wilabo or Iceli during our walk, Beans? Having more information on them would be suitable for getting a good scope on them, both friendly and for any future plans.

Eh, give her a break, as funny as teasing is, i think its time we got serious. Talking about the magical ranking is a good stepping stone. Talk about any concerns you might have on your ranking, and how its partly why you want to go to the gym, to train your magical abilities with your physical strength together and come up with some good combinations.

From there, you can talk about what kinds of magical abilities everyone has, and agree to keep each others' a secret within this friend group. Tell them you'd like to know so that we can come up with some fun training exercises and regimes based off of what abilities everyone has

>IOD made everyone sterile
Ahh. That's what we detected in the scans, isn't it? Why did it disappear though? We need to do research. Scan people on the station to find people with the same "virus"(probably everyone), and then do various things to them that you'd do if they were hired as crewmembers, testing them again after each one. Did *all* of our alien crewmates get fertility treatments? It's also possible the solution has to do with our food, or sanitation, or... I don't know. At any rate, finding out the exact antidote will make it easier to complete this request.
Might also be neat to do some more in depth research to find out how the sterility works? Like, how does it interfere with the reproductive process exactly?

>>1097050
>Mass-genocide through sterilization
Bastards. Not the population control part, the extermination of all cultures outside of the IOD for the crime of merely existing part.
...Wait. Could it be? Could they be trying to exterminate all life other than themselves because they are also biologically doomed?

>5 Sakkilians as breeders
You'll ask around. Many of your colonists wanted back into cold sleep, or to find their prospects elsewhere. You can spare a dozen volunteers.
However, it would be more viable to purchase Wronkir genetic material and start cloning right away. With their engineering crews, you could temporarily increase the yield of your cloning facilities and get everyone's kids in a couple days.

>>1097050
>everyone is sterile
It's a form of population control, to make sure that nobody can gain the numbers needed to attempt to overthrow the IOD.

>need breeders
You'd better explain exactly how things work, so that she knows what she wants.

Explain the accelerated pregnancy process that allows birth within one day. And also explain the process of rapidly growing a child into an adult while implanting memories of their entire lives.

And if she wants the children to be rapidly grown into adults, then you'll need to update you capsules to implant memories of her race's culture, so that the children won't be alienated from their own parents by getting only Sakkilian culture implanted into them.

...wait, if we've powered down the ship, do we still have our prisoner contained and the drones cared for? What about the cyborg, how long can she go without a charging station?

Accept the deal, on condition that you vet who you will send over. You will need to do a roll call of willing volunteers, and evaluate their fertility, eagerness, and likelihood of romantic attachment. That last one isn't necessarily wrong, but resources are tight enough that you wouldn't want to lose your crew to anything, even this. Of course, discussing logistics can want after the signing. You don't want this contract declared null and void from dissatisfaction during the "signing" ;)

If there's any highborn that prefers a live-in partner, they will need to wait about a week for them. Ostensibly, this is to clear their work schedule and settle their duties. In truth, you'll need time to spin up the cryopods to make Breeders, or replacements for any crew that retires here. You can guarantee they'll be the most fertile among your crew, at least.

Ask about the child-rearing practices for her kind. With one of your own to care of during shore leave, you might as well help with hers while you're at it.

Kol and Gabe sit up and continue making out, their breath hot on each other’s necks. Their legs tangle together as they grind against one another: their cocks slowly stiffening as their bodies recover.

“Hah, you really missed us, huh?” Kol pants.

His partner nods and swallows from all the heavy breathing. “Mmm-hmm. After everything that happened yesterday, I really wanted to be with you and Case.”

“Mmm, we missed you too.” Kol replies and locks lips with the Sender again.

Their kissing is interrupted as someone wraps a hand around their shafts and squeezes them together. They pair open their eyes and find Allayane grinning back at them. “You guys are really cute together. I just thought I’d give you a hand.”

AHN is hecking cute, as always, though this is a bit of a mood change. Fish for information, gently and flirtly, and get HAX to bring up AHN's stats and check for anything suspicious, like a spike in energy or odd mood.

You head carefully into the room on the right.

In this room is the hummer, a lady musing over some marks on the wall and making a cheerful noise while doing so.

Her black and red attire tells you that she works for the Hazard Association, which is like this organisation dedicated to categorising and ranking different hazards. Although it’s not officially affiliated with the government, it is generally respected by the government and community alike.

You ask her your burning question.

“No, no, I haven’t seen the Minister. He’s actually why I’m here though. Since he disappeared, we need to re-evaluate the catacombs’ hazard level.”

You can see that she’s carrying a clipboard with some notes scribbled on it.

“I still haven’t seen everything here yet, so I can help you look if you want. Reckon the Association would get that kind of thing done faster than the pollies anyway.”

You look at the wall she was inspecting before. The marks actually seem to be drawings. You didn’t know that mole people had it in them to draw. You didn’t think that they knew about most of the things they’ve drawn here.

Compare notes, what has she seen out of the ordinary so far. And what does she make of this diagram.

An ally! Yay! Do we get to learn her name? Or shall she remain a nameless HA member in our eyes? As for game plans, we should definitely catch each other up on what we know. Being on the same page information-wise is the first step to successful collaboration~

I dont think the room would look so well appointed with one of those monsters lurking within.

Grabbing the book is a fine idea.
It can double as an emergency sheild or thrown object, but hopefully it will not be needed for its improvised or intended purpose.

Agreed.
It is time to bring your friends forward.
However, your job does not end at the wave.

Quietly clear their path of any potential noise making collision obstacles like scattered furniture or dropped gear and other partyware discarded in panic.
Just place it safely at the hall side.
Also, spare a glance towards them as they move towards you.
Watch behind them specifically for beasts entering the corridor on random patrol.
Spotting them first could buy the precious seconds needed to take cover.

Grab every book you can carry, starting with Medicine and Magic. This place is going up in smoke anyway.

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) Tell the Druid to show you.

B) Don't show interest in what the Druid is saying.

C) Tell the Druid that you are not interested.

D) Other suggestions.

A)

Have an idea of where this is going. Still, perhaps unexpected insights will show themselves. Wisdom can arrive from even the lowest of low places. Quite frankly this is far from the lowest of low. Props to druid for getting psychology out of Abdle without his usual... defensiveness.

Curious. Lets check it out, but take what he says with a grain of salt. See what he shows us can apply to how you already rule, and we can mix some aspects he shows you with yours.

Let the Druid show what he is talking about.

Check your equipment, then dash out the airdrop and flip the bird while you digistruct your ride to causally catch you while it forms

Do A Flip!

Double check; I'm assuming these things are pretty expensive. You can get complacent once you have a few runs under your belt. :P

Don't forget to form a deep bond with your Voidslave in order to work together perfectly while piloting.

Pat your Voidslave in the head to get started. In other words, pat yourself in the head.

It's not jumping, it's falling... with style.

"Everyone deserves second chance-"
"Look what they've done to you; he says, putting his hand on my bandaged face; remember what they did to my father, what happened to Bardeibor, even at our recent trip to Viera's temple, you were sexually assaulted by them when I was in a meeting."
"It's fine Crocodile-"
"NO IT'S NOT, GREY. I'm sick of you dismissing yourself from what happens so as not to ruffle any feathers of the ones higher up the food chain."
He breathes and exhales. "If GoldScale doesn't get his money, we will lose everything, our land, our home, our pepole, nothing, he'll mark us as traitors, and we'll be run out where the insectoids will devour us, and yet you wish to throw away, our plans and for what?"
At first, my mind was blank, but then I remembered the message you told me, Muni, a way to explain my reasoning.
"Where laying the foundations for a new future, the way we've done before will just reveal itself to tragedy again and again; the way we've done is the same as GoldScale uses to oppress us; if we followed his way, we'd be repeating the cycle, however with what we lose in political bargaining, we make up for it with a special ingredient; Hope with that hope we've purchased their loyalty, and they'll produce more then if they where miserable, slaving away doing mindless tasks."
There's a great silence in the room while Crocodile turns his head to the ground. I hoped that I had finally made sense to him, yet in a moment, he looked up to me and tackled me, pinning me to the wall.

"So is this is what it's all about? you know. I've trusted you , put you in charge of running the logistics of Bloodeia, and allowed you to sleep in my bed, sleep with me. Even though our relationship is frowned upon due to your status, yet you turn around and say that you are creating a libertarian populist uprising? All it took was for me to give you a tiny bit of power, and you immediately disregarded my word, my land

I'm dumbfounded, I trusted Crocodile; enough so with this information, Even though he works as hard as a labourer and doesn't seem to care much about his status, I was naive to think that uprooting the system in which his power originates wouldn't bug him, and now I'm here, pinned to the wall; my worst nightmares of our relationship come true across the cloudy skies of today; Even though we are far away from the capital, he still owns the right to execute, imprison, or do whatever he wishes with me, due to our class differences; I'm shaking, even war was less scary than this, maybe it was because it wasn't committed from someone I looked up too and love, Muni my mind is blank, and I need to say, something; anything, what should I do? What should I say?

Like I said, you can do better than that idiot.
He has a solid argument... but it's powered by discrimination, mechanized with delusion, and built upon a foundation of privilege: the trifecta of most human tyrants.

This ties back to GoldScale, and Crocodile's servitude towards that dick. Even though you both hate that loan shark of a kobold tyrant, and for good reason, his foremost thoughts are of appeasing GoldScale rather than rebelling against him. Crocodile hasn't realized that by freeing our slaves, we have a new path to take should the colony be unsalvageable; just follow them. If we earn their trust then some will show us their ways and the methods they would attempt to use to escape slavery. Crocodile is so afraid of GoldScale's authority that he projects those fears onto the paranoia of you usurping his own.

Well, guess what, ya motherkiller: We're the Viceroys here. If Crocodile is dead-set in his authority-worshipping ways, then you need to find a way to force him to recognize us.

But for now, start with this:
"You are the one who lifted me up. And you did it because you were high - and alone.
If we are to survive, we can not do it alone. If we make all the colonists our slaves, Goldscale will grant them freedom - in exchange for their lies. They would claim our colony never existed, that we used them to mine some fictional gold vein in territory that allegedly belongs to GoldScale or other such atrocities, especially any we actually inflict on slaves, and then we would still lose everything."

...Also I am very sad to hear that you were sexually assaulted how soon can we arrest the prick who did that?

What is he talking about? What uprising? They are still slaves for the time being, Crocodile is still just as much in charge. And if or when they earn their freedom they would either leave or continue to work under you.

You were just trying to give the workers the motivation they will need in these trying times. If Crocodile didn't want you to make decisions he should have been clear he wanted a mindless servant. Though that would change your relationship to a much colder one. No one can love a user.

>>1097009
You were looking to the future, grey mother.

Repeat the same system, recieve the same result.
Goldscale will never relinquish ownership of a profitable tribute giver.
Should we reach our tributes with spare resources, he will not kindly congratulate us with a warm smile.
He will squeeze harder.
You are not seen as people, nor subjects.
You are to be farmed.
We all know what happens to the muffalo that no longer gives wool or milk...

You seek to break that cycle.
Not just for them outside, but for you all too.
They may not be readily visible but you two are bound in chains.
To continue as you are, as goldscale expects you to, is to wait patiently at the butchers block.

As to the humans, i dont trust them completely either grey mother, but these here i dont think you can view as just any human.
They are outsiders.
Cast away by their own and removed from the positions that make other humans so untrustworthy.
You may see a difference in them robbed as they are of the authority of the throngnofbhumanity at their back...

Tell the Jawas these are not the droids they're looking for.

I think we need more info about the situation. Laying down your weapons seems a bit extreme for a conversation starter. A simple “Who goes there?” will suffice just fine. No sudden movements, but I’d suggest having a hand on the hilt of your bastard sword, just in case.

If they are within throwing distance, throw rocks at them to make a sound at their location and see if they might friendly fire

Should add a gentlemen's club for relaxation or a sleazy sexy shop to work in for easy gold farming. Of course, it accrues corruption when working there.

Adventurers should be able to lewd the dungeon denizens, after completing quests, spending resources/gold or disabling/sacrificing normal services that would be provided.

>>1096971
hush, don't use the D-word. Wouldn't want Mary to realize she's sleeping and wake up, would we? Also, I doubt it; this is less Mary becoming lewder and more losing her inhibitions cause she doesn't have enough control to keep repressing herself while asleep.

>>1096980
I like the gentleman's club idea. Why don't we turn "So You Think You Can Slime?" into a strip joint. The players can either enjoy the show and buy some minor health potions that cause a stacking alcohol debuff if imbibing too much too quickly or even a lap dance (perhaps even for some form of temp buff) or join in on a side quest pole dancing competition where they can get loot (or lewt) depending on how well they score.

We have the spa/cafe area. If Calculator felt like getting in on the fun, having her run some games of chance (maybe with a twist or two) could be fun. The spa could also offer special services for the right price. Just keep in mind that Mary said at the outset that she doesn't necessarily want this to be a straight up sex dungeon.

> Virtuous Defender: A flexible shield that affixes as a covering over an orifice. Useful for sealing portals or more personal entryways, it can only be removed via command word or great force.


Seems a bit too powerful and invalidating. Maybe make it a consumable instead so each one protects a single orifice once. Or you can only wear one at a time.

Ah of course, the cotton. Sighing to yourself you slink back into the cabinet. Climbing up to push over the glass jar, the cotton balls slide out with a pleasant tumbling noise. You stuff a bunch under your cloak. It makes movement difficult, but you only need to carry them a short way.

Watching you stumble along, Lisel's snickers are punctuated by hisses of pain. You manage to get most of the puffballs up to the sink, where you dump the lot into the little pool. Then it's simply a matter of tossing them back down to splat on the floor.

While you wring the sodden cotton over Lisel's acid burns the chemist seems to be getting her spirit back. She takes off and carefully wipes her goggles, giving you your first look at her striking pink eyes. Noticing you staring, she quickly dons them again. Her cheeks lightly flushed she leans closer to you and murmurs "Mister Tem'rty, would you like to examine the body with me?"

Oh I'm always up for examining bodies.

Did she get an acid burn on her face, that is seriously dangerous. The first thing that you should do is clean her face with water and then you can examine her body.

First aid must be the first priority. Make sure that Lisel is safe and assess her mobility before anything else. After that, we might spend a moment to examine the corpse of the bat, but beware; having caused such a disturbance here, are we not liable to attract even greater attention?

Will nothing come to the aid of the fallen bat, or follow its alarm? How fastidious should we be in covering our tracks, to put the cotton jar back where it was, in order to try to prevent discovery of the entire rodent operation on the grounds. Lisel may be able to advise here.

I would think retreat, as soon as we've put things in order, should be the priority, so as to avoid any coming reprisal, but if Lisel thinks that's not necessary, in spite of her injury, then we might tarry a bit further, and extract with the rest of the group.
