Try not to crack up at how goofy Isabella's flame spirit looks.

Text Iraphena: "Hey, did you give Isabella the OK to be a gigantic creep around me? I don't feel safe." "Seriously, one of my sources literally overheard her expressing a desire to go behind your back vise-a-vise hurting us." "If you let her escalate, and shit goes south, you can kiss that trade session goodbye."

It's entirely possible we could still salvage our relationship with Iraphena even if things escalate with Isabella because I kind of doubt they're necessarily 100% buddies here.

> Trey avoiding us, a city folk.
> Stays anonymous in the papers even when it's not a secret locally.
It's confirmed; Trey, perhaps unrelated to the incident, had a history in the big city - one that means he doesn't want anyone from the city to find him and point it out.
> Investigators in the Hadlee estate incident.
He was either fortunate when the investigators came into town, or he already has an understanding with the Heroes' Association. If it's the latter, then it's most likely that he's in a super version of witness protection. Do you know if "Dr. Trey" brings up any memory of outed supers? The fact that he withheld his name from the papers means it isn't entirely a fake name. (We'd probably need to research this.)

>I kind of doubt they're necessarily 100% buddies here.

Agreed, one possibility I suspect could be that Iraphena is a slave to Isabella just like Mint is a slave to us.

I'd personally hold off on texting Iraphena though personally, Isabella isn't directly being a creep towards us and is doing it indirectly using her flame spirit, probably thinking we cant see it. Texting Iraphena to tell Isabella to stop may reveal to Isabella we saw her flame spirit and find us suspicious. and we probably dont want to reveal we've been spying on Isabella without getting a full story between their relationship, even if we assume their relationship isnt all 100% good. Best to keep our cards close to our chest for now until we get more info on their relationship.

>It's confirmed; Trey, perhaps unrelated to the incident, had a history in the big city - one that means he doesn't want anyone from the city to find him and point it out.

That makes sense. We should probably look into who he really is and try to remember where we may have seen him before.

Idea: Maybe Kazu knows who Trey was if we text him and tell him Trey looks familiar, then ask if Trey was a big shot in the city or something since Kazu was from the city like us.

>angel?
Mint said the remnants of her world was overcome by a buncha fallen angels and she was sold at a demon auction. There might be a distinction between demonic spirits, fallen angels, actual angels and straight up demons, but it seems fairly obvious they've gotta be related in some way.

>Lips moving, can't hear anything
I'm betting she can talk to Isabella and that Isabella can hear her regardless of distance. Maybe that's why Isabella was laughing to herself when Roach was spying on her? Sounds like they have a good relationship in that case. Isabella showing up nearby may also indicate the spirit's range isn't SUPER good, though. Hard to say for sure, as the spirit might've just been with her coincidentally and split off to spy when she saw Cat was in the post office by themselves.

Anyway, do not reveal you know she's there. Likely she's been around you before and you've previously shown no indication you noticed! Revealing that you can see her now might verify that we bought the Demon Eye Amulet, too (if Iraphena and Isabella suspects its actual use case), although we could definitely pretend it's because you upgraded your power's utility with achievement points.

Anyway, pretending to stay ignorant of her presence A) gives us an opportunity to potentially feed misinformation to Isabella and whoever she is with and B) an opportunity to see what the spirit DOES around people.

If we decide to give the spirit false information on our notebook, There could be a chance that Iraphena might be secretly protecting us from Isabella and did not tell her we were at an auction, so maybe we can leave out the last two on the list (randolph, and our artifacts)

>>995553
Hey, that's intel as well! If the spirit seems particularly surprised at the mention of either of those, we know Iraphena's keeping info from Isabella. I doubt she's THAT secretive, though, especially if Isabella being her boss is fo' reals true.

Honestly if Lyst is an 'auction site' as Mint called it, then I suspect some Awakened could be hanging about town hoping to become a part of the next one (like Iraphena and CROW). And there could be more empowered items around here than elsewhere.

Remember that the awakenings have been going on for like 50 years now. Two of the families involved in the founding of the Heroes' League (Hadlee and Walpole) apparently hails from here. There's HISTORY in Lyst, sounds like.

“The angel doesn’t care about you so you should get out of there. We’re trying to get more spider silk, meet us at Aaron’s place in an hour and make sure you weren’t followed.” you say.

You hear Cookie say something to Margot, the clink of keys, and a door opening.

“I’m out. I’ll drive around a bit first, but I probably have a tracking spell on me because I was in the same room as Mr. Lewis while he had his magic active. I wish I knew how to check for it, but I’m still a beginner.”

That’s a problem, but you’re not sure how to deal with it right now. While you think, Cookie stumbles over his next question.

“Body’s with you, right? Is she, er, still mad?”

“She’s fine.” you say. The zombie’s ears twitch.

Tell him it seems like the anger won't go away until Saul has some manner of closure, whether that is healing or freedom or death or revenge. In order of your personal preference.

The tracking spell can be worked around. The mobsters will have trouble pulling off a clean assassination if you're driving around. Cookie comes and picks you up at Aaron's place after you get the silk, then you drive while Cookie turns it into magic string and/or communicates with Saul. First priority is to ease the pain if that's possible, second priority is getting some input on our plan for stopping DH and also what we're supposed to do about the moon god.
Oh and now that Cookie's out of the apartment you should spill the beans about what DH is trying to do, and what it told you.

The last of Gabe’s strength fades and he flops forward panting. His heart pounds in his ears as endorphins rush through his body, triggering a haze of pure bliss wherever they touch. For a long while, they lay against each other, just letting one another breathe.

“Hah- you okay?” Delilah asks. Her voice is airy and happy.

The mouse looks up at her from between the curve of her breasts and gives a weak thumbs up. “Fu—uuck...”

“That wasn’t too much, was it?”

Gabe chuckles. “Heh, what happened to making love ‘sweet and slow’?”

Her chest rumbles as she giggles back at him. “I know. But you’re too much fun to toy with.”

“Heh heh, just don’t go breaking your toys.”

Delilah sighs and lays back, watching the little runes demarcating the pocket dimension circle by. “Sure thing, heh. Was it good?”

“Fuckin Fates, yeah.” Gabe moans dreamily. “You can do that whenever you like. Just don’t expect me to last real long when you do.”

“Mmm, maybe I’ll just keep you going with a little mana. I’m a bit curious about how long I can keep you cumming.” She grins, her canines peaking just below her lips as she eyes her new squeak toy.

Gabe stammers, his face going red at the thought.

“You’re so cute when I get you flustered.” She chuckles again and sighs. “Hey. Thanks for tonight...”

Wait hold up, what was that about endurance cumming?

Absolutely not. The kobolds have put their trust in us. To be honest, I suspect that indulging in these sorts of acts had contributed much of the reason the world denounced us in the way that it did. If I am still 'evil' to that world, then at least pray I don't also alienate those who would side with me.

All is not lost on this front, Angela; I doubt we could tear down that entire kingdom in a single stroke even with my body restored. If the kobolds are willing to begin with more clandestine operations which will scout and weaken, we can have them capture a suitable vessel for me while they're at it.

Ah, was waiting for this to pop up.
Absolutely not.

The morality of it is immaterial, and honestly if we were to ask we would doubtlessly have volunteers, but we look after our own.

Besides, what we'd gain in personal power and advance in timescale would probably not be worth worsening relations with Mines Heads.

These recent developments have given me an idea however: the slaver camp itself might be too hard a target but between Mines, our new friend here and the warriors we do have we should be able to take a caravan of them or their buyers as they transport their slaves.

Use your quickness to grab the spear, yank it from the other dah-een's grip (or if he holds on, just yank him, too) and smack one-eye over the head with the blunt end (or the other dah-een, depending).

Even if she stays conscious from that, with reach combined with reach, her only hope is to close the distance or run away. If she does the first, you clock her or grab her and if she does the second, you chase her down, being far quicker.

Dive underwater and trip him, then grab the spear, stand up, and throw at her.

I think you misunderstood what that spirit was saying. Scenario three involved the baker being mind controlled into giving away a LOT of bread. That could certainly bankrupt him, depending on how much money he's got saved up and what his other expenses are.

Humans have some serious taboos about "commands". That's why they all keep pointing out you fox spirits are dangerous and shouldn't be trusted.

He sees only his business. To him, you are not a potential connection to the profitable Lady Kensington, you're just a filthy animal running on the orders of a rebel princess that threatens to change his rigid cycle.
That is what the nobles forge their minions into. They train the masses by starving them, only rewarding them with their necessary food and social approval when they are cruel to those outside of their social circles and obedient to the point of suppressing their own ambitions. Do not expect kindness, it is punished by the rulers around here.
The nobles look at goodness and see only politeness and order. So pretend to be that. In market business, charity is an act of madness; when customers show money or contracts, the other side is obligated to shut up and give them what they want. If either side refuses to give up what they offered in exchange after receiving what they wanted, that's grounds for getting aggressive.
Go back to Serah, and show her pictures of the food you saw at the market, with some squares next to them. Wait for her to make indents on some of the squares and give you coins, then take those coins and show them alongside the pictures, and they'll take the coins and give you food. You can get angry if they take the coins and don't give you food.

Also, calm down. That guy was being a brat, you shouldn't be worse.

Oh, you wish to be a master of crime? We could help with that too, but we have to be aware of that, because it limits your choices. So far, we gave you the choice that would make you the least likely to be hated, because society hates crime. Ergo, they'd hate you. Yes, Serah too. It's a limited path, but it's the path of greed.

But we suspected you would prefer the path of freedom. Remember this?

>“Well, then what do you want?” Raelynn presses. “Do you want to live like a human?”
>Dotti nods enthusiastically.

So far, that's what we've sought to help you with. To live freely with them. Did you lie there? Would you prefer to take all that you desire, without regard for others like Serah? To be a shadow of the worst of them?

Or do you wish to live side by side with them? That is the choice you must make.

So what will it be, Dotti? A life of greed? Or a life of freedom?

The choice is yours.

>>995505

I was referring in scenario three to the use of mind control to make the baker give up a lot of bread, every day, for the forseeable future, which Dotti has already specifically expressed interest in doing. The results of that could most certainly be him going bankrupt, especially since Dotti does not seem to value minimum use of mental changes, maintaining the target's capacity to have access to their skills and judgment, and the use of finesse in her mind control powers. In contrast, taking a small amount of bread in a single day is scenario one and does not require mind control at all, and does not bankrupt the baker, but breaks the social contract of behavior of the village, and may have excessively harsh penalties WHEN she is caught.

That said, gekkering in particular does resemble a human chuckle quite well!

Well, let's try to take a little stock, first. We've got a tozol on our side, no small amount of weaponry, we've got the replicators and enough food for... a short while, so it won't be able to starve us out before we come up with something, if we're relatively quick.

All this against a machine with... a decent amount of firepower in turn, though I think the shield is a bigger concern. Definitely not something we want to take on in a fair fight.

As an idea for dealing with this thing, you mentioned earlier that the stun grenades we have release a wave of concussive force. What're the odds that we can rig up a trap and flip this thing over?

Oh, let me ask a question: what other forces can we expect to arrive if we just let the robot sit there?

...Is, is that eye all it has to detect the area?

Take out the eye. It'd be hard pressed to kill you (or act at all, really) without some way to detect you.

How does it receive orders? Wireless? Voice?

Could we spoof orders to it? Try the default password? Maybe the access cards we acquired have some level of authority to give it orders?

Use the replicators to create substances that damage it, possibly subtly.
You know what it is, what the Argos is immune to. EMP effects? Fires overheating it? Airborne corrosive chemicals? Radiation damaging electronics? Electrified hazards? Flammable gas that would cause a rocket to backfire?

If nothing else, have replicators make as much explosive chemicals as possible (ammonium nitrate maybe?) and the replicators at your pod was noted to be explosive, other power sources may be explosive. Either put as much explosives near the Argos or lure it near them, maybe while still in the replicators if needed. If the Argos is taken out, then you can dig through any rubble in the way with much less danger. Possibly use gun to shoot and cause a spark or heat up something to detonate from a distance.

Do you think it knows there is two of you? The Geiger broke out, but the Tozol was released with no alarms. Toal could sneak around, but then you would have to engage it solo first.

I don't think your firepower is sufficient to do any damage to this huge tank, except maybe to the eye. Even then I doubt the obvious sensor wouldn't be bullet proof, possibly covering it with something from your lab coat to some opaque substance (or napalm) would be more likely to work.

The engineer is stuck between helping his comrade or focusing his attack on the lone tripod. If left unchecked he could run away and call for reinforcements.

The gard flicks his wrist and wields a pickaxe. A click and a shwing, and the blade deploys with a slight plasma arc.

“I, uh, don’t typically mistreat tools like this...” he says before making a giant stride for a lizard his size. The thoughts of his first victim has reminded him to be a little more careful. Perhaps too careful.

Goggles reorients himself in time to slip away. The engineer’s axe meets solid floor.

'CLONK!'

• Sertis is fighting Wrenchie
• Njar is fighting Worker
• Driga is fighting Welder
• Veisar is fighting Goggles

A tripod will be acting next. Brace for an attack!

Njar should brace from worker tripod

Sertis: brace.

>>995370
Njar should be ready for a worker attack.

Sertis be ready for an attack from Wrenchie.

I sure hope that truck has enough gasoline to take you out of here later

I'm having trouble coming up with any useful advice. You just completely wrecked the building, and there are definitely security cameras so you're not going to get away with it.
This is really depressing. All that effort to get you out of prison and try to get you on a path to self-sufficiency and you've ruined it on your first day of freedom. You're not just an annoyance, DDDLuk, you're a menace. On top of that, Lhomar's going to get pulled into it, because you used his truck.

For those of you who don't want to dive headfirst into a life of crime without any of the skills necessary for it, I suggest offering yourselves up into indentured servitude to the cookie cabal or whoever runs this place, doing jobs nobody else wants to do.

Yell "Salutations! We are here to bring the greatness of the cookie empire to the lyluk demographic! With lyluks under the sway of cookies, you will be unstopable!
Also, give me some vanilla chips, I have some cash here."

wait hold on, dddkluk, you did this exact thing 3 years go and got thrown into lyluk-jail for it! I saw it, i was one of the people you ran over!

That's it, now that i remember i'll have my revenge! Take this! *uses forbidden pervert-spirit powers to make you lewd*

Some of these pervert spirits seems to be dumber than lyluks, or they ARE lyluks...
I mean stealing a car and crashing into a store? these things are too overt, a secret cookie cabal is gonna want to be SECRET, announcing your presence and intention straight out is just gonna get you silenced.
You gotta do this discreetly, not crash-into-a-mall-tly.

>How good are you at handling the water weight?
It's not too heavy for me, but it does slow my swings down a little.

>that could make swordplay a bit difficult, and I'd rather open with Geyser to try to get a hit in and put water on the ground.
>Use geyser to pull water over from the edge of the deck and spray it into his eyes.
I focus my thoughts on the ocean and start channeling the water for a geyser blast.
Marsh: "Alright you ol seadog, let's see how well you can swim upstream! Geyser eruption!"

I let loose the water I channeled from over the deck and blast a powerful torrent of water at him.

Captain: "Ah that's cold!"

Alright, with all that water soaking his face, it should be harder for him to see now. Maybe I can get in and make this qui-"

Captain: "I think we need to get this battle a little more heated!"

He shoves his sword down onto the deck and I start to hear a sizzling noise. Crap! He's using his sword to boil the water on the deck?! Within seconds the water boils up into a thick steamy fog. I get the feeling that's him using an enchantment to heat up the water, otherwise I don't think anyone can manage to hold onto that thing.

Alright, I could start moving in and getting closer, or I could go on the defensive while I wait for my sword to recharge here. I've still got water on the deck I could work with, so that's still an option for later.

Updated stats-
Enchantment cool down- 20 seconds left.
Sword: 0/2 gallons.

>>995383
Wait for him to come to you and solidify the remaining water into spikes as he steps over it!

He wants you to stay defensive right now, but I don’t think you have any better options unless you burst through the steam and surprise attack him.

You could try carving a hole into the deck and hiding over the side before the steam clears up, that way when he tries going into the hole after you, you got the opportunity to strike from behind.

Nice, an audience. Give em' a show.

"We got a peeper down here. But I mean... no alarm means no danger, right?"

Wouldn't want to keep the information from her though. That'd be rude. I mean, just because there's no possible reasonable expectation of privacy in this scenario once you found those hidden cameras, that's different than actually noticing something's eyes watching you. Might as well lean into the exhibitionism.

AGGRESIVE MAKE OUT MANEUVERS!

Sensing that Luce is more outgoing than Christine, Adrian opts to keep him talking in hopes that more useful info will come out.

As Luce stops at the end of the room and bends down to click and type on a screen, Adrian asks, "So, these drones, they just go down to the surface, pick up some dirt, then come back?"

Luce laughs, slightly condescendingly. "For the most part, that's the gist of it. They're capable of drilling about 10 meters into solid rock, so we've been using them to get a better understanding of the planets geological history, plate tectonics, things like that.

"We've also been using them to keep track of the quality of the surface terrain and soil in preparation for future permanent facilities. Possibly manned missions. That’s far down the line though.”

Luce doesn’t seem inclined to talk about anything other than the research itself. Maybe a different topic needs introducing?


Just then, Adrian notices a folding table to the left of Luce’s desk. It seems to be a temporary workstation of sorts. On the table is a clipboard and what looks like some electrical engineering equipment. To the left of the table on the ground is a large spherical object mounted on stilts. It looks like one of the drones.

[Which object should Adrian investigate?]

Doubtful those drones have much in terms of security measures, even with the capability to pierce 10 meters of solid rock. Maybe you could take a closer look at that one?

Clipboards should hold some fun info

Check out that fox booty. More seriously, maybe find another subject to keep him preoccupied, such as himself; how he became head of research (since it's something he should be proud of), his education, and maybe his hobbies.
When checking out the items, you'll need to be quick and avoid touching anything. The clipboard will probably have the most comprehensible information, so check that out.

>>995268
Ask about the captain.

I feel there's no risk of mutiny right now since there's nothing anyone can do about the lack of wind, and there's noone to blame either...

Booksy, I want to be more usefull. Not just do common chores, i want to do something important, like you. What do you suggest? What could i learn that could be useful to the crew?

"what's that book about?"

"Well for starters, I want to learn the basics of repairing. If I find a leak during combat, I don't want to run up and down the ship to find you while the cannonballs are flying."

"So you're a carpenter? Name every carp."
