Gallsby, we've been anti-magic social workers this entire time, solving magic and social problems throughout the city.

We're good social worker's Gallsby, the only bad guy we came across we had to like, actually take to a jail was... whenever ago. Jail's are fake though so... I don't know, maybe he's going to a therapist now? We should have asked Baxter on the phone.

Let's go solve some problems.

You guys roam around helping people, taking people's problems and fixing them, tackling people doing bad things and getting them to stop but also helping them. You are friends. Professional friends. Write PRO PALS on your badge. You are the PRO PALS squad, from the PRO PALS department. Anyone need a pal? They come to you. Who knows, perhaps you shall employ more PRO PALS in the future.

Wait, if police are fake, what about the Mayor? Is she a fake mayor?

You are now the Dorb OCPS.

Wait if the police are fake, what authority has anyone been operating under this entire time. I don't think I'm ready for the slippery reveal of how this is some anarchic post-apocalyptic world which would honestly explain a lot of things. I'm just here to see some ducks sucked.

"They're colleagues, not enemies," you whisper back. You wonder for a moment if you're trying to convince KYLE, or yourself...

>"Problem?" ERIK asks.

"Nothing important." A risky idea comes to mind... You choose your words carefully. "STEVE, if your men could handle cleanup here, I'd appreciate it. We've still got to get up to the mansion as soon as possible--we have follow-up questions for Mrs. Durst and her kid."

>"There's the rub," STEVE says. His tone's still lighthearted, but his eyes look a little harder. "We came here to secure the place, not to get stuck scraping your car off our sidewalk. I know you're on a time crunch, but if you want to dine and dash you're gonna owe me, BAN."

You inwardly seethe at the thought of owing any kind of debt to the man, but you nod. "It's only fair... After I hit the mansion and get my shit together, I can catch up with you and give a statement if you need it."

>STEVE shares a look with his partner, then sizes you up one more time. Finally, he shrugs. "You know what, it's a deal, BAN. Hit the road, we'll get this squared away. Don't forget to get your mug cleaned up before you show up at ALICIA's place though, she hates blood. Let's get to work, ERIK."

>"Right..."

You try to check for a reaction from ERIK, but he's just wearing the same unreadable glare. With KYLE in tow, you head over to the news van as fast as your aching body will allow. You hear a couple of the 2P cops jeering as you leave the scene...

You collapse into the passenger's seat of the van. Devin's in the back with his laptop. "We're moving," you say miserably.

>"OH, YES SIR!!!" The journalist tumbles into the driver's seat.

Finishing the drive to Northtown is a tense balancing act between cleaning up wounds, recovering strength and trying to focus on your surroundings. If your little experiment was a success, you might find yourself dealing with some extra trouble.

>"I isolated some great frames of those guys' faces," Devin reports. "The whole video's sensational, it should get a lot of hits--uh, if you give me the OK to keep it, of course."

"Uh-huh..."

Despite your best efforts, your mind starts wandering. You're really worried about Dane. She gives you a lot of grief, but you can't remember the last time that you worked a day without her... You're not sure if you can trust Devin or KYLE to watch your back as closely as she did.

You're almost equally concerned with owing STEVE any favors... Replaying the conversation in your head, though, you realize how abnormally cordial the whole exchange was. He even sort of stuck up for you, when ERIK wanted to grill you. You wonder if your run-in from last night actually gave him some doubts about his partner...

>"CAPTAIN! CAPTAIN!!!! CAPTAIN!!!!!!"

"What?!" You jolt awake and reach for your shotgun.

Looks like you made it in one piece. You check your watch as your mini-convoy pulls into the parking lot. 9:00... You're surprised that you made such good time, despite the incident.

You approach the gate with Devin and KYLE close behind. The reporters have already set up camp, looks like. An additional barricade has been put up to keep them further from the gate. Once they catch sight of you, they start swarming.

>"CAPTAIN BAN, WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!"
>"WERE YOU INVOLVED IN THE SHOOTINGS IN WARTOWN??"
>"DO YOU HAVE ANY LEADS ON THE CASE?!"
>"WHEN WILL CAPTAIN STEVE TAKE OVER?!!"

This isn't doing your throbbing head any favors... A few hoarse 'no comment's carry you all the way to a tired-looking BILL. He grimaces when he catches sight of you.

>The security guard raises a hand before you can say anything. "Before you start, just let me say my piece. Mrs. Durst gave me instructions not to let any cops in today until after her 11:00 campaign meeting. She was very passionate about it."

"But--"

"Look, we know I'd win an argument with you, but ALICIA's a different story. I'll respect her wishes and come back after 11 - it'd defeat the point if we pissed her off on the second go-around. Make sure she knows I'm coming as soon as she's ready, though. Oh, and remind the staff to make sure the uncle's sober this time. Oh, and if today's a school day, we can come back around 3." Look around. "Meanwhile, while we have you, you're sure you didn't let any cops in before us yesterday? Durst Jr. ran afoul of a 'horned cop' shortly before we arrived. I can assure you this mysterious hassler wasn't with us."

>>975321
yeah, this. Dude seems like he's having a bad time, and there's other things we can do until 11.

Thank you for your discretion.
I need them for bait. It's been a while since I killed something with my own two hands.

>What do you want crystals for?
1 - Tap your blue helmet. You've taken on a mana crystal collection task. You want it fulfilled properly.

2 - You have an avid interest in magic, mana and things related to both. You want your own mana crystal collection. Enough to experiment with, maybe even start to stockpile for later use. For example, could one, with enough processed crystals, enable safe expeditions into mana-dead zones? Could they be used to distract Mana Beasts from attacking people in a pinch? ((or actually, trade with them)) Would it be useful to keep a reserve in case more Towers other than the Drac Kingdom's fail?

While they're processing that, ask Allen - with animated engagement - if there are different types of mana crystals. Do more 'transportable' high-density crystals exist? Has he ever seen mana crystals somehow different from the 'normal'? ((i.e. artificial mana crystals vs 'real' mana crystals)) Does he know how mana crystals are typically refined? Are there any long-term effects to removing mana crystals from an area that he's noticed?

>Wot next
Lean into how unusual it was that you mined something from a supposedly tapped section (and ignore comments or questions on the weirdness of how you mined it) and propose a deal. You have a trick that might help point Allen's kids at an untapped vein or two, assuming it's better than whatever this 'Willis' was doing. So, if you find them any, you get a reasonable cut from the daily profit of these areas until tapped. You will want those credits turned around to buy the mana crystals recovered straight from the mining company, and have them reserve for you to pick up or sent to town.

This way everyone can contribute and profit, and you get a potentially ongoing supply of what you want without having to visit

That looks very much like a donkey. I wasn't expecting to meet Flimflam immediately like this. The mane and tail are fake. Probably. Might want to take a closer look to confirm, before you...

After Noir's rescue, Jan Do confers with the Night-caste, and confirms the hour. She speaks in Old Realm to Noir, Desert Lily and Adamant Strix:

"We have expended half of the our allotted time for exploring thing day, and the sun is setting. I must ascend to the attic to plant the Traveler's Staff for the night. Come, let us reunite with our allies, and decide on our next course of action."

You're a neumono. a little rope burn won't kill you

Some of the backstage monkeys must have played around with rope climbing. There are techniques to help, like trapping the rope side-ways between your feet and such. Others have pointed out that the ladder can be a secure foot-hold to lean against when you need a break. Just plan carefully, do a half-minute of rehearsals, and don't think about just how little reason you have to follow a terrifying uncaring giant down into a dark, hidden place where, hypothetically, nobody would ever find a body.

>>975006

Inch-worm it, using your hands and feet together in an alternating set of slides and anchors. It'll be slow going and really, really strenuous, but you'll get there.

Remember that this building said Block44 on it where you came in. That might be significant later. A subway line might also pass nearby underground, since you passed an entrance to one while walking.

If you look around for the stairs, it may take you too long to get down there and you could lose track of Rocker. Your guitar is probably fine where it is strapped on you right now but tighten the strap so it doesn't swing off your back. Briefly shine your phone's light down to see if the ladder goes down significantly and then stow that phone well. Take the ladder if you can and the rope if you can't do that.

I think Rocker is testing you. Maybe he wants to see how far you are willing to push yourself. Show him that his contempt was misplaced, but be smart about it. Show him some [determination].

C. Sounds like the pirates have better tech, including ranged weapons and maybe even steam power, so our best bet to get close and threaten to break those fancy toys.

If their ship is bigger than ours, barricades will do nothing: they'll simply leap and swing from their ship above them.

I say C: Take the fight to them.

>>975249
The pirates can't rape, murder and pillage you, if you rape, murder and pillage them first.

>>975249
C
The very trade of these pirates is to chase down those who try to flee, also if the devices on their ships put Zorya in mind of giant bows then those instincts should be trusted: they would likely have the upper hand in a ranged confrontation.

Better to engage them in as close to Zorya's terms (and by extension the crews) as can be.

Her ship is fatter and has more insurance. Turn around and ram the small-fry then harpoon them as they tumble to the drink.

It's probably something related to what they serve in the tavern. Beer? Food?

That's the masked assassin who was tailing Dionaea earlier. You know even less than she does about them, though...

Maybe just hang out wherever you can get the widest view of the market, then. You're not really in any hurry to talk so you're free to enjoy the day.

Try considering what it is Gracie usually does and use that to narrow down what she could have needed.

Considering that Goblins are not widely trusted, it may well be with a more familiar merchant.

Try to convince Tok “Look I know what I’m asking you is pretty hard but look at her, she is suffering and if any of us would try to calm her heat, she would kill us... except you. I don’t know why she is so determined to be your woman just as I don’t know why the sky is blue, but I know both things will always remain the same. Is difficult but it must be done, none of us will think less you two, and it would be nice to have some pure Gormoamhi offspring.
As for Nietch, claim her in front of the Ghost skins, make the watch and understand no matter what is their position. Ghost skins where born to be breed by Gormoamhi.

See if Sizz is horny enough to take you. Just keep your appendages safe. Maybe if Tok was there? Helped talk her into it?

Should he some ceremony for taking an enemy leader? Maybe you claim her non breeding holes as a sign of your clan overthrowing hers? Breeding pups is natural, but denying that the first time shows Gah-meen disdain for the ghostskins.

Tok, you know Sizz will never change her mine about being your mate, If is up to me I would take her, but she probably would end up cutting my balls. Sometimes we must risk our lives for the clan, other times we must break the taboo for it. Old man, I (and this clan) will own you a great favor for whhat I'm asking you.

Normally I’d be up for Guk to taking a woman, but not Sizz, try to convince Tok to breed her. As for Nietch, make the other ghost-skins of the clan to get her ready for you, they shall kiss her and rub her with their hand without giving her any orgasm.

Tell Tok to fuck her so Sizzala can show us Nietch's memories, once that happens and after you make her as obedient as Comlee, we can twist the plan, she could return to her clan and said that she escaped and tell that she and the rest of her patrol was attacked by on of the other clans. This was good, we have gain a powerful pawn.

yeah i agree with this! i think it's fine to drop this topic once we make sure its clear we might also try to kiss some (or all :3) of the rest of the squad

Hm. Trying, that doesn't sound so bad. You can do trying. It's certainly something you need to start thinking about, how you'd feel trying to love him, or to be with her seriously. You've got time.

Speaking of time, and shift those hands downwards to sell this, why don't you two agree to work together on this. On graduating. He's failed before and you... Well that fight against Pascal wasn't reassuring. Training together, when you're supposed to be taking days off or something. He can trust to help, regardless, you aren't competing for the blade.

we should ask if it’s gonna be okay if we go on more dates with other people

idk if we need to ask explicitly if she's ok with poly once the dating starts properly- that's a long time away and we can't make assumptions.
"I’m not saying… I’m not saying we’d have to be, like, together, or exclusive, or anything like that.” He exhales, a little, and Lamb feels like she can relate to the frustration she sees bubbling up. At words being an obstacle instead of a tool. “Like, I can compartmentalize, and I’m not gonna make it weird. I’m not saying anything has to be serious,” was not too long ago?
i think strip's being honest w/ us but maybe ask if he just Can compartmentalize and it might still get 2 him, or if he's genuinely ok with it. nd if he's gonna be maybe w/ others too!
as much as i support sexy motorcycle ride now tht we're off the rack thing, maybe just squeeze his hips rather than going further down- this is still a important convo

Too bad we can't just kill the guy but maybe the crows have a plan to get rid of him.

I’ll give you a moment and follow your lead when we go in, I’d like to get an idea of how you handle these things before I start doing this myself.
Also before we begin, how many crows do you typically see at once at any given time? Because there are a lot of crows here.

give her a minute and talk shop

Cool, great... lets see. What's in the mines we need to see again?

I got a lie, tell them that due to fact that the Erja Nokol campaign is going on, we've received intel that undead have been carving underground networks throughout the entire nation. This requires inspection of many mines throughout the province, particularly from a Erja Nokol native. The Field Marshal is simply here to acquire the access through his authority.

The access to the lower mines will be the only bribe you will accept for his transgressions. The safety of the nation is at stake and we need to get to the lowest points of the province to protect it from undead invaders.

Let us inspect the mines and we'll be gone quickly enough.

You know... If were going to tell him we might as well use him. And if we're going to use him, he needs to be briefed properly. With Ralkoval keeping her occupied we should have some time. Take him somewhere secure, away from prying eyes.


We have reason to believe that there are spys afoot. Do not repeat anything I'm about to tell you to anyone.
The situation has evolved since we raided your encampment. Namely, we have discovered Suzo to be a natural rival of ours. While we first sought cooperation with them, it is clear now that conflict is inevitable. Though they don't yet know that.
Lady Nojiko is being used as Navozem's personal mouthpiece. She is here now, sent to discuss an assault on the second encampment.

Simply destroying this next encampment seems a waste. If we could gain the trust of those within, we could stage a siege and harbor those people until the time to strike comes. We don't know how to gain that trust, but maybe Lady Nojiko does. I will send you to her.
However, know this...
She is currently under the influence of powerful, mind altering magic. She is ultimately loyal to Navozem now, and will remain so until his head is separated from his body.
That said... She still responds strongly to your name. I don't know your relationship to her, but the bond runs deep.
If you bare your heart to her, she may be able to remember herself long enough to give you what is needed to save those people, your cause, and perhaps even herself.

Can you do it?

You gesture Dao to follow you. In a 'private' alcove, Ralkoval has Nojiko busy with a number of pointless topics. They do not notice you or Dao by the entrance.

"Mila-"

"No" you silence him. "We have reason to believe that there are spies afoot. Do not repeat anything I'm about to tell you to anyone" Dao looks away from Nojiko with reluctance. He nods for you to continue. "The situation has evolved since we raided your encampment. Namely, we have discovered Suzo to be a natural rival of ours. While we first sought cooperation with them, it is clear now that conflict is inevitable. They may know it. They may not. Either way, Lady Nojiko was sent here to serve as Navozem's personal mouthpiece. She is here now, sent to discuss an assault on the second encampment."

"Now then, do you think you can do it? Can you speak to her, knowing what you do now?"

Dao does not reply. He sways slightly as you deliver the news that his charge has been so radically changed. A minute passes and he seems to remember you're there. He looks away. "I...I don'

Throughout the course of history there have been a few magic moments, in which the fates of many have pivoted upon a seemingly inconsequential action.
This may be one of those times.
I know this hurts.
I won't force you on this Dao.
For me, the paths ahead lie slick with blood no matter what happens.
All that is left is for you is to make a decision you won't regret.

Take some time to collect yourself. Just understand, even Ralkoval can't hold her forever.

"Patience, swordsman. I do not expect you to win a war, but this is a battle you cannot win with swords alone, yet you MUST win."

A short time ago you were just a slave. It may seem cruel to show you the mysteries of statecraft so soon, but here we are.

We as individuals can fail, but as rulers of the people, we cannot. They demand action on their behalf, and rightly so.

Lets rig all of the drydock arms with explosives. We could talk to the law enforcement beforehand about our plan and offer to pay for repairs. We would have each drydock rigged to a separate trigger so we only blow up the one with our target. One of us would wait at each station and monitor that station's drydocks.

Last thought before we put a plan into action: could this guy be flying the ship remptely from somewhere? It seems somewhat suspect that he never leaves the ship.

The Miyamoto conventions state that sabotage of enemy vessels is cleared as it falls under actions of espionage.

: We'll head to refueling station 18B an-

: Apex did you stick googly eyes on the map?

: I can neither confirm nor deny.

: We'll head to Station 18B, dock, and inquire about Jax.

: And I'll check into the docks and see about the costs of replacing the manipulator arms. If it's too expensive one of us could act as a distraction to Jax as the other gets close and plants a det pack.

: And det packs are cheap, thankfully this genius here actually bought some.

: It's for archeology should I ever get bored of being a bounty hunter, I figure exploring dangerous ruins filled with traps go faster when you can just blow things up.

If Jax becomes aware that a bounty is looking for him we could use that to our advantage would he started a dog fight you or Fifi could make a surprise attack.

Sounds like a plan; let's do it.

Yep, we're halfway there. Now we just need a little luck.

Fruit and Punch, in order of appearance... of the Cake and Bowl families.

Necromancy, such a waste of good slime food.
Think of the leftover gold as a shared investment in better equipment down the road. A smaller caravan it is!

Mercenary 1: There you are! We've been waiting here for an hour!

Eudes: My apologies my good gentlemen, your employers had an important decision to deliberate on! Are you all accounted for and ready to depart?

Mercenary 2: Yup.
Mercenary 3: Finally, shit...
Mercenary 4: Just give us our wine ration already.

A single dummy caravan it is. You'll be inconspicuously following the caravan, ready for any trouble and keeping an eye on the woods. With any luck, you'll be able to catch your attackers off guard and do some tracking as well as interrogation...

???: "Man, I've had it up to here with your shit."

The barkeep's eyes dart around, he swallows awkwardly.

???: "You understand what this seal MEANS? I'm under royal contract. I'm working for the Tsar, pal. You're expendable."

The patrons were hushed and watching before, but everything stops the moment the Sergal in strange garb draws an odd device from beneath his cloak. The rattle of a dropped fork reverberates through the spontaneous vacuum.

Then, with the flick of a switch the crystal at the tip starts to glow; the tavern empties out in seconds.

???: "Two ways this can go pal. I recommend you take the first option, and I'll be real nice and ask you one more time. Take a good long look at that scroll I just gave you. I know he's been by here. Where has he gone?

Anyways, there'll be a little wait before the next update. I have to figure out a good combat system for the encounters.

Who is it on the scroll? If it was the sergal gunslinger, tell him the guy killed himself here, and that some adventurers offered to get his body out of here. Took forever to get the stains out of the wood.
