Queen, in my opinion, I think we should just take the medicine. Lorence holds all the cards here, and you kind of did this to yourself with wanting to charge in to attack right away without even knowing your enemy instead of being patient and hide in the shadows waiting for more opportune moments to make your moves and learn and get stronger by secretly eating other dead bodies we find. And even if we did kill this puppet Rosaline and Toothpick like you wanted, this Lorence was a fake and the real Lorence would just send people to go after us again. Plus as far as I know, Happy, the person who fucked with us is also fucking with Lorence. We might need to swallow our pride in order to get all the help we can get to get your revenge on Happy for what he did to you, and Ana. We can't do this alone...

inner thoughts: besides, if your worried about your species dying out, there is a chance that Casper from the alternate timeline you infected with your offspring could have escaped that universe before it vanished. Hold onto that hope. More impossible things has happened before

Rosaline, I'd appreciate it if you'd show at least a tiny little bit of respect for sparing Lorence even if it was a puppet... I mean, we did spare your life and the lives of your children, and you've showed no appreciation towards being given a second chance for being revived by us when you were dying, and a third chance for not being punished on having your children killed by us... but I guess that is the spider instinct in you have that might b

No offense.

Hey also just a thought, if you do take the medicine. I’m assuming it’s mostly done through science yeah? Kind of like how the spirit parasites were made? Do think it’s possible that we can, I don’t know, reverse engineer a cure for it? I mean if this will sterilize the queen isn’t it possible we can find a way to undo that? Especially if it’s a chemical compound, it’s not like getting your tubes tied or a vasectomy where physically can’t have kids anymore. I’m betting there’s a way we can reverse this. At most, consider this a temporary set back. If we ever find the lab where you guys came from, I bet we can reverse this.

Keep the names of the honored dead out of your wretched mouth, monster.

And as for you Rosaliné, I hate you the most out of all of them. Possibly even more than I hate Lorence. I understand not wanting to have kids, but not even taking any responsibility for them, and speaking about them like trash. You disgust me most of all.

You’re all horrible people. As for you cat-face looking guy, I don’t know you well enough to know you. But... hmm. You can hear us, and you aren’t wearing the sign of the ash tree. That means you are either actually a child, or you’re somehow immune...
*Looks between toothpick and Rosaliné.*

Hmm. Well, I still don’t hate you. Despite everything, if you are who I think you are. I just hope you’ll be okay.

Before we do something that we might regret, the way I see it, you fear the blind will more than anything else, more than the person trying to sabotage you like he sabotaged us... you fear the Blind Will so much that you do many highly questionable things in order to prevent them from taking over...

In that case, Lorence, let me ask a question to both you, and the queen: The Blind Will is known for turning people into empty husks of themselves, turning them into their slaves to Absolution's hive mind, and on some occasions creating a monster made to act as a beacon to control everyone on the planet's mind. So with that in mind, what if you couldn't afford to have us take that medicine to sterilize the queen? what if instead would happen if the Spirit Parasite's offspring were to infect people who had lost their senses and became a mind slave to Absolution Prime? do you think the spirit parasites would be able to take back control of their senses in some way? and hell, if that beacon monster does arrive, what would happen if we as the charred queen take control of that monster or infect him?

Do you think this would be worth a shot? You've already done many terrible and risky things already, Lorence, to stop the Blind Will with the ends justifying the means in your mind. So would allowing us not to take the medicine and form an alliance be just another ends to justify the means on? I'm sure you've done far riskier or worse things than letting a spirit parasite live with their ability to reproduce... right? You have to do things out of your comfort zone and take risky moves to get the gold.

I think I may have figured it out.
It is super sus that she got here so fast. In fact, it was like she already knew. The only explanation for that I can think of is that the SIG already knew. But if that were so, then that would mean that they already knew about ERIK, the other vets, and their plans yet did nothing. The only reason I can think of for that would be that the SIG knew that if they interfered or even acknowledged the rogue vets' existence, then there would be too great a risk of revealing the government's culpability. Remember that the whole reason the vets are doing this is because the government abandoned them during the war. If that truth got out to the general public, it'd be disastrous for the administration. Now that they have no choice but to get involved, I can only believe that they want to keep it as quiet as possible. This brings us back to agent HALE here. It is far too likely that she and her fellow agents have orders to not only resolve the issue, but to also bury it and silence anyone who knows too much.
I know this may sound paranoid, but considering what we've seen so far, it's justified concern. That and it definitely feels like the kind of nasty, underhanded crap a bunch of fed spooks would get up to.

"We'll make that plan omega; hammer and anvil tactics are what made a lot of those vets join up with that cultist in the first place. Got any other ideas?"

(For the record, we should also be coming up with our own solutions instead of just objecting to HALE's. I got none, myself, but I'm putting that out there.)

>>986276
There's no reason for them to lie about the timetable, however. The only thing HALE arriving this far ahead of the stated schedule does is make us suspicious.

And besides, several people have openly stated the circumstances surrounding that operation. If SIG wanted to keep people silent, they would have dealt with the troops themselves as soon as it became apparent that some survived. It's safe to assume it's already common knowledge.

Furthermore, ERIK was working on the troops since the Advance Team was first formed. He was always a cultist. The operation isn't what this is really about in the first place, even if revenge for that is what got most of the troops hooked on his words.

So cool your jets.

In fact: "By the way, if we're talking about getting into the enemy's head, I have a few notions about the relationship between ERIK and his followers. While I'm sure some of the soldiers want revenge for the hell they went through during that whole shitstorm, I have it on good authority that ERIK was moving them with his words since long before shit hit the fan. My guess is that he has some demonic superiority angle, or maybe some apocalyptic purpose demons are supposed to fulfill. What are your thoughts? Can anything be exploited there?"

We can't let the second precint take the axe just because they may be compromised. Let us lend our support in raiding that residence.

>>986279
>So cool your jets.
No.

>>986279
There's no need to speculate on what angle ERIK was taking with them, we have SAM to question. Also, the book in the mayors office.

I’ll need to keep one step ahead of them. By now there are probably multiple search parties looking for me--working their way from the tavern to the other end of the city.

Yeah, this might not be the best of ideas to walk straight to that church. I see it in view and there’s quite a gathering of people standing outside it. I wonder what they could be up to? They can't possibly make some town-wide search for just me, right?

A) This seems like a good spot to hide and quietly observe. I could find out more what they're up to.
B) No time to squander. I must get to Augus’ house before it's impossible to move about.

While it would be interesting to listen to them and learn what that commotion is all about, standing still in one place while people is looking for you is not wise, is better for you to move.

Uhm, I guess it's going to try to shake you all off, then bite at whoever landed closest to it, then maybe thrash around once the battle's not going its way and perhaps even turn around to use its tail to swipe everyone and run away.

If it doesn't die instantly, it will throw it's head up, and then thrash back and forth in an attempt to dislodge you. If it fails in it's thrashing it will roll over and crush you. If it succeeds it will attempt to bite at you.

Upon landing, center yourself over the spear, lower your center of gravity, and hold fast. You decide when you dismount, not it. Any thrashing it does whilst you hold firm will worsen it's internal injuries.
Upon dismount pull the spear out with the whole of your body, and land by its neck, just behind the skull, it won't be able to bite you there. Stab quickly up into the back of the skull to fell the beast, before it starts getting creative.

>>986245
Presuming the creature will fall back on instinct under duress, it is likely to dive down in response to attack where it usually has the advantage of panicking attackers that can drown. From there,it will probably try to bite and death roll its way to victory.

You just need a moment to grasp the power and-THERE! You reach out and grab at the girl, hoisting her through the air with your magic. She struggles and screams incoherent babble, kicking in your direction as though she has a chance of hitting you from that distance.

"Are you going to calm down?"
"AAURRGH! RRUAGGGHNNFLAAAAUGH!"
"Warrior control yourself! I am not your enemy!"
"FFFFFFFFFFFRAAAAAAGH!"

How in after-ash did the War Mistresses ever tame these wild girls? You can't just let her go and hope she'll calm down. Can't toss her back in as she'd just fly back out before you got the door shut and-oh the pain! Right...you were stabbed. Where'd that damn knife go?

>What should be done about the girl?

Slam her head against the wall until she's knocked unconscious, then leave a note telling her about her fallen clan-sister. If you can get the painkiller before she wakes up, haul her ass back yourself.

Left her unconscious, we may bring some of the guys here to help us bring females to the clan.

>one vent already stuffed

Kinky. It sure would be unfortunate if you accidentally nudged something deeper while reaching for that cheat sheet.

>>986231

I concur with this conclusion.

"No, I think I've got it."

Concur with the solution already found, so long as we don't forget to press the button at the end.
Getting a feel of that ass would be nice, but avoid using the cheat sheet if we can. Could just remove it without unfolding it, and show her we didn't actually need it in the end. After all, we're something of a natural at sticking things into slots. Verbally walk her through what we're doing, and when we're done, say we make a good team, or at least that we had a good teacher.

>Yah ‘aven’t seen...
She's definitely has some self image issues. We should prepare for the worst, to make sure things go smoothly. In fact, from the way she talks about the coffee we got her, i.e. drinking it after we've left, it kinda seems like she doesn't want us seeing her face at all. Still gotta exchange names before we bang as well, unless she gets off on the unknown identity thing, but I think we can keep our suspicions of all this to ourself for now.

>One vent already stuffed.
Can't wait to find out which one.

>This ‘ere is the best part of me and yah ‘now it, love.
It's certainly a nice part, but there's more to a woman than just her ass/body. There's her heart and mind to consider as well. We also quite enjoy to just listening to her talk.

I guess this would be a good time to inform Larisse of the reasons behind you venturing into her temple and how you're in a pickle because of your inn's ruined reputation.

Maybe asking your older sister what she thinks about the situation would be wise.

Help Nainah. The only evidence of last night's brawl will be the police report and the guests' foggy memories. Plus, if your younger sister has been "up to" something, that might spell a new lead for attention-grabbing features.

Larisse seems like the right option.

The chinchilla’s eyes roll back and her untouched cock wags loosely, lacing their bed with threads of cum as shes fucked-fucked-fucked over and over.

”Yes! Fates, yes! Oh Fates I love you, Raithe!”

Miki feels herself lifted and then slammed down: held tightly against the red-hot shaft as it pulses and throbs within her. The flood of mana pours and pools within her, quickly overflowing the tight seal between them.

The baker throws her head back and utters gasping , breathless cries as her cock fires streaks of cum that paint her chest. She feels herself emptied and filled; her legs hanging loosely as she’s hung on her husband’s stiff cock. The reinvigorating glow of mana dissolves inside her, spilling out in a gout of crimson flames.

Even if the goo can touch it, we cannot, so we can't stop it from assaulting us and thus it would be unwise to stay here for much longer.

Not much can be assumed from a single word that the ghost uttered. Maybe it's trying to tell us that we're going to be late to the party and that we shouldn't be staying here? Or maybe the ghost is angry because it was waiting for the room service for an enternity, which is quite late. Or maybe... the ghost is italian or french, and it's looking to acquire milk, that is, Latte or Lait. I'm assuming that moth milk isn't a thing, but you never know.

If there is a puzzle in this room, I'm failing to see what it is, so I don't see a reason to stay here.

Stabbing or slicing would be better since you are fighting hand-to-hand. Gun-Fu isn't the best idea.

Fletch: how sturdy are the shelves in the aisle? If it is possible, try pushing one of the shelves towards the zepher, causing it to tip the other shelves like dominoes until it falls on the zepher, or at least gives you a clear shot to shoot him when he runs out of the way!

Nirrn: the zepher isnt near your counter anymore. make a break for the exit. Retrieve ordo from the employee lounge on the way out, save his life and let him know what is going on despite not liking him too much.

Ordo: yep, definetly gunfires. You didnt piss off your drug dealer enough to send a hitman after you or something, did you? If not, then it should be safe enough to call the police without you yourself getting arrested as well.

Nirrn:
keep doing what you're doing, keeping your head down.

Fletch:
Uh, shoot out mirror, knock down the shelves and try hope the domino effect of them falling over will land on top of trechcoat, use the distraction to make a brake for the back exit. Pray.

Ordo:
Barricade yourself in the room, call cops. Hope everyone you kinda give a shit about are ok and that this will blow over soon.

Oh, I thought Ordo was Grutter.

Fletch, try to lure the guy to you in a way that will allow you to escape.

Nirrn: Is there a light switch you can use to shut off the lights so you (and Nix/Fletch) have a better chance of escape?

Fletch: Health check, how badly do you think he just screwed you up? Shoot out the mirror and loudly run towards the counter. Stop then crawl back quietly to your original position but stay low. Ideally you want to get towards the back where you have more rooms to hide in till the police arrive, or if you're lucky, the back exit you can use.

Ordo: You're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. Sure, if the police arrive you're safe from the gunman, but they'll find the drugs you brought. Not sure how long they'll keep you in the slammer for but you probably don't want to get caught with what you've got. And that's assuming this guy doesn't manage to barge into your room if you barricade it. Cautiously open the lounge door and see if you can get into storage for something useful that will help you escape (and maybe your fellow coworkers).

Nirrn: faint from shock. Alternatively, remember the live shooter training videos your company made all of the store managers watch.
•Try to get out of the building as fast as possible
•If you can't get out, barricade yourself somewhere safe with Ordo if possible.
Remember that Nix has a gun and should be treated as just as much of a criminal as this other guy. Meaning run away from them and don't help either of them.

Ordo: Gtfo of dodge and call the cops. Then start filming from a safe distance so you can post this on the internet (or whatever the equivalent of the internet is in a spacefaring, interstellar, multispecies society).

If Nanoweaver or Diagram was preventing you from leaving, I'd imagine you'd feel deeply betrayed by them as they had been one of the very few people that had supported your goals for freedom to see the world. And if they had any doubts about it, they would tell you long beforehand and you'd both have an honest civil debate as to why you should or shouldn't go without insulting you for being too quote-unquote "inferior" like everyone else believes.

But if they stood in your way now at the last second, you'd feel very sad, and angered for them betraying your trust. But you know they'd never do that because friends support each other, they support you. How dare Judi try to get you to question your friendship with them.

Also, for good measure, tell her about how the others had been mentally bullying you and seeing you as inferior most your life, even physically abusing you, and you want to prove them wrong once and for all before you take your leave.

This may let her know we over heard her conversation where she said that.
Not sure it's the right time to play that card.

"I'm done being YOUR mistake!"

I wouldn't need to use violence with them Judicium!
They would never stand between and my freedom, and if they did I wouldn't have to use force to convince them otherwise!

We may all be family here, but they are friends who support me. You are an obstacle to be overcome. Don't imply you're the same!

With a dramatic gesture and swirling green sparkles, the fungal elemental sweeps clean a wide patch of floor by each of the doors - room for three spearmen to stand and fight without penalty in front of each, though retreating more than half a step would put them back in knee-deep guano. Then, unprompted, it sets to work cleaning, sorting, and reassembling the pieces of the shattered statue - only as quickly as a skilled mortal, so that'll probably take days.

Behind the west door you can hear rhythmic clicking, sorta like a ratchet or a very large zipper. Behind the east, muffled groan of pain.

Humphrey the tabby cat (and most important member of the expedition) hops down from comfortable spot upon his vegetative servant, now that said servant has finished clearing a path for his dainty paws. The mothers of these flying rats should be ashamed, not a one among them seems to understand you're not supposed to sleep in a litter box.

Carefully picking a path between the crumbled masonry, avoiding both attention of the fish-humans and stepping on unsteady ground, he peeks his head into the eastern path. What's groaning? Another food-giver and servant? Prey?

Rolling to establish stealth and for awareness to check out the next room. The hearthcat from Compass: Blessed Isle is probably a good reference for Humphrey's stats, although if we assume he has some more skill dots as a heroic familiar, those probably line up in medicine and larceny (lining up with his supernatural abilities) and possibly survival (as his human is a sort-of ranger, while the example hearthcats are expensive housepets that don't get to hang out in jungles much).

Smells like fresh blood - two different kinds, neither mammalian. Hard to be sure of much more with the, ah, 'background noise.' East door is actually slightly ajar. Just enough of a gap for a slim cat to slip in solo... though if there were a trap on the other side, or an alert guard with a ready weapon, you might not have enough space to dodge properly.

Good news is cat eyes mean you're far less dependent on lanterns than the fishmen. Even if the lanterns went out you'd probably be able to get by with residual daylight, since it's a nearly straight shot to the exit.

In-between diplomatic meetings and festival preparations, Scarecrow and Red Mother will make a pair of waders that are sealed and warded to keep out liquid and filth, so that someone can more confidently walk through the guano and other potential hazards that might seep through regular clothes.

Well if it comes to a fight, the east door seems more vulnerable. Kisk will move his men in the best formation he can given the environment, prepared to guard the west door and rush the east. He'll hop down from atop the rubble and put a spearman in his place, hand his lantern to someone else, shoo the furball out of the way, and fling the east door open with sword in hand. "Stand and deliver, lizards!"
