If you kick him in the shins just for looking at you, maybe consider that it is you who is the pain in this relationship, not him. (I mean jeez, you were the one who walked in on his bath; he should have been the one kicking you in that situation.)

>>956749
That sounds more like he thinks you’re cute and is just bad at talking to you, so he ends up looking like a creep.

>Then that other time when he was taking a bath in the river all naked? You just had to show him so you kicked him in the shin!
Except for that. He was minding his own business when you came up to him and kicked him for no reason. You were the creep in that situation.

Stay! Don't run away.

A little tranquilizer should put her down...a little more...a little- There!

With Sapphire dazing off I cautiously see what equipment she may have on her especially those pills.

On her I find a communicator not unlike my own, except this one is littered with childish stickers and writing on the back.

and a pill bottle

"Benetrope...?"
What're these like workout pulls?

Any medical info on the pill packaging?

>>956763
After we check the writing on the phone in case it’s important somehow, remove two pills from the pill bottle and pocket them for research, then put the bottle back in Sapphire’s pocket. Then check to see if Bonnie’s mom is doing okay, and get her ambulatory if she’s able. If you can, then we call up medical services for Sapphire on her communicator with a note warning them about what she’s taken.

Help Bonnie's mom get out of there and to a doctor. (Tell them someone else is injured in the ladies' room, too.)

>Component Requirements: Drawstring Bag, Lit Candle
... Okay. You're not going to like this, but you have the tools you need to construct the ritual components. It's going to be boring and disgusting though.

>Lit Candle
Combine [Mummified Goblin Corpse, Enchanted Banana Peel] with [String from Silk Rope]. Scratch your flint arrowheads on the starmetal nail file to light it on fire.

>Drawstring Bag
Use the [Flint Arrowhead] to cut a small piece of leather out of the [Mummified Goblin Corpse]], then use [String from Silk Rope] to tie it all together. Use [Torn Paper from the Map] to reinforce if needed.

>Zinc coin
The heck did that come from? Did the banana peel interact with one of your coins? Keep it, though; there are alchemy tricks you can do with solid zinc.

Oh and nice to meet you.

>>956452
Sounds pretty solid, only a few alterations- make the candle out of the wax you have, rather than the peel, and you should probably avoid destroying the map. Leather bag and wax candle to get help does seem like a good place to start.

Is the peel of the Elsewhere banana magical enough to act as a safe handle for the starmetal nail file?

I've assembled a crude goblin-leather pouch, suitable for basic summoning rituals. Not enough subcutaneous fat for a candle's worth of tallow, though, probably meaning an extended period of starvation. If that's how they treat their own allies... I definitely need to get out of here.

Silk rope reduced to 74 feet. Wax half-banana reduced to wax third-of-a-banana.

Gained small, lumpy, banana-scented candle.

Flint struck against starmetal doesn't produce sparks. I'll need iron or steel to actually light the candle. Or, with the First Scribe's sigil wrought in gold or brass, I could call on miraculous flames... among many other things.

Deliberately damaging such a rare map would be a clear violation of the tenets of my faith.

I can hold the nail file safely, just need to be careful about applying too much force. Wrapping it in banana peel would NOT help, and might risk damaging the (bizarre, shoddy) enchantment keeping that extradimensional space stable.

He's up to something. The candlelight seemed to ignore his face, when his hand touched the artifact.

You made an impression on him, though. An impression as a slave. He'll want to talk to you, to try to get through your indoctrination... as a personal challenge. You'll learn what scraps you can from his plans and report back.

With lies.

>>956626
No, wrong person. The guy inspecting the artifacts was Ambassador Riksen. We haven't seen Preceptor Brass yet.

Hm. The consequence is a hitch. How bad are the mines?
Let's be real, though. Failure would always equal punishment, when it's coming from this high up. At least now you can get something out of it, and we know Silver's willing to deal at least a bit to get what she wants, which is good.
If he's a brass, people should know him. Start talking to others about him. You seem to know a lot of guys, start with people most likely to give you something to work with.
Also, are you one of the ones who sleeps? If so, you'll also need to get a handle on how he gives his sermons. Passionate, droning/bored? Is he into redemption and glory, or fire and fury?

"Well, I don't know what he's interested in from the start. I think it's best to see if he has any holes in his life that I can fill or an itch I can scratch."

(Translated from easily misunderstood lingo: Watch him, and see if he can present an opening for us to slide into. What makes him tick? What gets on his good side - and I mean his really good side?)

Asher, tell Narko that you'll serve preceptor to the best of our abilities as is your duty.

Narko, tell Asher how that reminds you of that time she did that one thing for you.

>>955637
Maybe when conditions are right you could go find some water to get cleaned up and rehydrated, or maybe look for any sort of signs of nearby civilization that might take you in.

What's the weather like? Should you be thinking about a campfire?

Once you were back on your feet you began scouring through the debris, they were mostly bits of cloth, paper and twine, torn and ragged. That combined with the burlap sack hanging from a tree branch makes you think it was the food of whoever had set camp here.

The campfire had been out for a while as the ashes were cold and damp; and while the light continued to grow dimmer the air wasn’t getting too cold, so it must have been more for light and to ward off creatures.

You were still able to find some items that were not completely destroyed such as an intact glass bottle and a canteen, the item the Vulpex was biting into; which despite a few dents it was still good and about half full of water.
The next item that caught your eye was a crystal; it was a different color than the ones growing around and it was also just lying on the ground. Upon closer inspection it looked to be intentionally cut into a prism, however as you stared into it you felt compelled to focus more and then a bright light blinded you!

You dropped the crystal, which stopped shining the moment you let go, and once you regained your eyesight a thought came. That was a ligthstone, a type of crystal that shone when infused with mana; this must be a small handheld light.

Picking it up again you focused on it, a bit less intense this time, and it began to glow. The stone feeling cool to the touch as it drained mana off your fingertips, now you at least had a light to traverse the night.

The last object of interest was a piece of parchment tucked among some crystal, unfolding it revealed a map! It was clearly hand drawn and somewhat crude, but it marked a river and a large walled off are, likely the section of the city you were standing next to.

The backside had a note on it:

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

>>956319
So do you remember anything about Vulpexes? Anything to explain its behavior?
Do you know if it's still the blue moon season?

I wonder if these are your belongings? You got chased out of camp by something and hid in the sewer?
Anyway you should follow the map and keep the canteen and light crystal, but... hmm.
Can you salvage the rope, tie it around your waist or chest, then tie the canteen to the rope with that piece of string? Then you can carry the crystal and map in your hands.

Ok, let's see. We are defiantly going to the destination on the map. To help with our inventory problems, let's make a "bindle". See if you can use the torn burlap sack in combination with a nearby sturdy stick. If not try using a large leaf from the plant next to the tree. If all else fails take the canteen in one hand and hold the crystal and map in the other.

I feel that at the very least we should mention the fact your mortal body is in danger. If those bombs in the bars go off while they have you in custody, well there goes any and all evidence they have. I feel they need to make a decision here, maybe tell him this and get him to report this to whatever superior officer is in command. At the very least it will stall him for longer. We've already established ourselves as friendly with him and we aren't lying. Hell if you were to die the universe would reset. You in danger especially at this stage in their investigation of happy isn't really a chance they can afford to take.

Hey come to think of it, if they know who you are and your importance to this universe then wouldn't that make protecting you something a priority? At least until Happy is caught? This might also be something worth mentioning.

*whispers to Ana*... It wasn't easy, but I did a lot of digging... I think I might have figured out Sweeper's real name. I believe it was... Wicker Stump? https://www.deviantart.com/boisnator/art/Book-of-names-3-496186315 Hmm, since this guy can't remember that Sweeper's real name is Wicker Stump, and we might know Sweeper's real name, do you think you might be able to use that to your advantage in some way, like as an exchange for saving Laura's life after being shot we'll tell him Sweeper's real name? or use the fact we know Sweeper's name as an exchange to let us go?

Also, If it helps, I just remembered that this guy we're talking to is actually known as "Rubber the Boss" not "eraser head" like I was nicknaming him. https://www.deviantart.com/boisnator/art/Ruber-the-boss-565536864 If he needs proof that we know Sweeper's real name, call him by his name "Rubber the Boss". It will show that we know these people's name considering you never met him before despite knowing his name.

Wait, what...?

Fortune what did you say to her? I’m lost here... keep going though we’re stalling at this point.

:D first then :X second .

:D

<:3

>>956211
Are those even options? ^^
Feels like it happened already.

:D, it is the only solution

:X

A. What's in the basement?

But the basement is where we came from? Go back down and find out what's going on.
Also uh that corpse isn't anyone we knew is it?

A. Investigate.

B. Wait to see if anyone from the basement moves up to investigate the noise. We’re in an advantageous position at the top of the stairs in the event of a fight, especially with a big, long weapon like an oar.

>>956629
This is good advice. Wait.

Now Emils, if you are going to be caretaker to these creatures, you are going to need to experience some of those emotions. Resetting your chemical balance isn't going to keep those feelings away, and you shouldn't anyway. You've asked to have emotions, now that you have them rebooting your physical form is like trying not to.

Ask her what her thoughts and opinions on slims are.
Bring up mimic slimes and what she thinks of those.

Agreed, but not all people are either. That doesn't mean you avoid them just to stay safe.

>>956471
I’ll go with that.

Also this >>956561
Might as well get our foot in the door and ask about slimes and Victoria’s opinion of them as well as see if there’s stories about ones that can mimic others (just in case we’re not the first slime to have mimicked an actual person)

>>956449
Remind her that their mother is dead. All the slimes are acting independently now. They are disagreeing on what to do... this means they need a new central authority. You are the only one who could be that leader.

>>955918
Well,if we're going to work on the assumption that some who go through the village will eventually hit The Citadel, maybe we should weave some story, and more importantly, hints into the quest in the village too.
Like have the villagers drop clues about the Slime Princesses if people complete their quest lines, like wwhat kind of treasures they might give, or hints about their powers. Warnings like not to hurt Bloops if they dont want to have a bad time, that kind of thing.
It can serve as both an advertisement and a reward.

>>955435
We're looking to make this dungeon a step down in difficulty compared to the Citadel, so we want mostly one or two rune creatures, with maybe a 3 rune as a boss/mini-boss. Personally I,think we should make use of those unique runes, Aqua and Aero.

Speaking of, please have Demonologist invert the Aero rune, I suspect we'll get either the equivalent for fire or earth from it.

Second, monster ideas.
Aero: Harpies, flying squirrels, wisps, maybe Chocobos? Kind of hard to pin down just what you'd get using this rune by itself. Maybe just try one and see what we get?

Aqua: This one on the other hand... mermaids, tentacled horrors of all kinds, inklings and octolings, octarians, deep sea type creatures... there's plenty of things we can draw from with this rune.

I'd really like to at least try a few single rune creatures with these runes, they'd undoubtedly provide unique demons for the village.

>>956432
>Speaking of, please have Demonologist invert the Aero rune, I suspect we'll get either the equivalent for fire or earth from it.
The one's we're missing are Pyro and Terra, I think. Unfortunately, we got Aero by inverting Aqua, so unless we get some kind of orthogonal conversion, we're kinda stuck with those.

>Kind of hard to pin down just what you'd get using this rune by itself.
Well... here's the weird part. These are the base elements from MAQ, so the obvious 1 rune monsters would be the corresponding elementals. So for Aqua we get Undine, and for Aero we get... humans?

>>956447
An orthogonal conversion is exactly what I think it is. At least, we don't lose more than a single rune to try it.

As for the Aero rune, we've seen that they're more versatile than that, even ignoring that there's a separate "Human" rune. Heck, if nothing else we could probably get demons made of clouds, or a storm elemental or something...

I bet putting Aqua and Aero together could make a living hurricane... Or some kind of seagull or pelican demon.

>>956501
>An orthogonal conversion is exactly what I think it is. At least, we don't lose more than a single rune to try it.
As of last update we don't even lose a single one, so sure, let's try it. But for the record, inverting inverted runes has never given a different rune than the original before, so don't hold your breath. maybe the "New runes can be created randomly by destroying two runes" thing can do what we want? That does cost us a rune.

>As for the Aero rune, we've seen that they're more versatile than that, even ignoring that there's a separate "Human" rune.
Oh, I wasn't saying they couldn't be used for more than that. I was just saying we can do weird things with it. As for the Human rune, we've done things like that before when we made plant monsters without the Plant rune, there's some overlap. Too bad we can't just use the Aero rune to make a human, then rune them to make a Human rune, huh? We don't have it yet.

>I bet putting Aqua and Aero together could make a living hurricane... Or some kind of seagull or pelican demon.
Careful, we've been repeatedly warned about putting opposite runes in a monster.

Screw gramgram, go visit your aunt May.

>>956067
Do you think we'll have enough time for all that?

Use Astral projection to enter Gramgram's internal thought dimension, and watch her life replay from birth through to the current moment to know all that which she know's and thennrerurn to your physical body before she has a brief mental break from the trauma and relieving all of her past trauma in a single instant.

You need to continue the tradition to learn the recipe. Who does gramgram wish you to kill?

>>956055
The secret ingredient is murder, thats why she killed someone. It had to be done

>>956072
say something about poofy being a arousal response, and that you were trying to help pound.

You definitely don't think they all look the same! She's strong looking and muscular and tough and nobody could mistake her for anybody else.

>>956072
Tell her that you fluff up when you're scared and you're just trying to help Pond.

Squeak out a sorry and mention this was just the room you heard she was staying in.

"SorryI'mthrownoffyou'reobviouslynotPondbutIwaslookinforherIwannahelphershewasnicetome"

Translation, because this is hard to read: Sorry I'm thrown off, you're obviously not Pond but I was lookin for her, I wanna help her, she was nice to me.

wooow, bribing a cop? that's illegal, I'm gonna have to throw you in the back of my squad car.

...for trying to KILL ME.

Although I am curious, have you got some kind of magic that affects your size based on your pride? Or does taking hostages give you a semi?

>>956064
>>956019
It's only a bribe if the favors are exchanged for something else that isn't supposed to be bought.

>>956011

Oh, it was magic weed. He's 100% "I love you man" right now.

Give that boy something solid

Sure, when we get back to the station you can help by scrubbing the dishes.

>>956237
Right on! then what? what's the plan? I'm assuming we'll need to move to more warmer climates?

>>956238
We will go where the Bifrost takes us, and leave Amarth to his own devices. Never cared much for him anyway.

>>956370
Amarth? Like Amon Amarth....? PFC? That you?

>>956370
Amarth? Like Amon Amarth....? PFC? That you?

>>956372

I heard you the first time, and that name holds no weight with me.

I'll go with 1A, 2B, and 3B

1B, 2C, 3A.

>>956281
1A , 2B , 3A

1c2c3c

1b, 2a, and 3a

A curious implement she's holding. Scrape off some of that sap while you keep her talking.

>>955870
This is concerning. On the bright side, Laret gets a new plaything if they win.
Scrape the honey off then throw bee like so >>955877

Can't tell if they are bluffing but maybe we shouldn't be too concerned about the prisoners now if this "hero" really does have a way of dealing with us even with their friends around us.

Drop the defeated fighters you hold and charge at this hero.

>>955870

I agree with the other suggestions. Throw Icker at her and hit her with a blast of fire. If she can counter that, then you'll be thankful you kept your distance.

>>955870
You already know the price of failure.
Who knows, maybe you'll only lose the heads you don't like.

Two days earlier.

Her name was Staff Sgt. Eingrid, and this shit was officially above her pay-grade.

“Report: where’d you find him.” She hissed. The walk- limp, to the medical tent was killing her. Shooting pain, all up her leg. Damn mud, it was slippery and fucking everywhere.

The soldier following her —Private First Class Nuwberg, bless his salty soul— spoke in that irreverent drone that all grunts are well practiced in; his was particularly good, “Uhhh, sector seven, in the old growth. He was badly injured, covered in blood, couple of Hael corpses lying around him. He killed ‘em.” The grunt hesitated, “Unarmed.”

Bullshit. “Unarmed, like with his bare fucking hands.” Eingrid scoffed.

“No. ...he had a rock.” Nuwberg sounded skeptical himself.

Total bullshit. Maybe their Team Leader could tell the story straight. “Whatever. Where’s your CO?” Damn her her leg hurt.

His tone remained flat, like he was commenting on the weather. “Corporal Viry stepped on a claymore, blew his legs off.” The Private mimed an explosion and made a sound with his mouth. “Nothing we could do for him. Gave him painkillers, took his gear, the valuable stuff, and left the body.”

Is he conscious? Ask for name and rank.

Question him. What are his orders? Where are his allies?

so where's a good spot to get some ribs?

----------------

Follow him and see if you can't find a way to get his attention.

ask if he would like to come with you. In return, you can fondle his backside

Wow thats a big butt and tail like uselessly fat and big tail

that demon will be really useful for me, i need to think in a plan to get his attention, his horns would be extremely useful for my hexes.
wanna end someone's streak of luck? demon horn
wanna destroy someone's relationship? demon horn
want to make your hair brighter and softer? fairy dust.... and a bit of demon horn
and thats just the start, the tip of his wings are also really useful, i can make love potions with them, i can make stinky bombs whose stench are really hard to remove, i could even make an "explosive luck" potion, i could continue my research in how to make spells that would allow people to lose weight really fast.
then the tail... oh my god the tail, there are so many things i could make with a tail of that size, i could make anticorruption potions or anticorruption amulets with that tail, they are cheap but sell like hotcakes, and we are going through a shortage of them, it would be a blessing for us.
i could use his hair to make potions that will make even a bald man grow an afro overnight, or continue my research to make a panacea for all corruption related problems.
i could use all of him, everything, even... and i dont like this part..., his cum, for some reason demon cum has the highest number of uses for all sorts of magic, from uncorrupting, to antidotes for life threatening sickness.
god damnit, he is a walking money bag, i cant let him go.
and if he is a pure blood demon im never letting him go.
but what use could he find in a sorceress that secretly wants to harvest him?...

>>955933
Well go up and talk to him to get an idea on what he’s like?

>>955077
choosing a path is meh for me. helping something on that path is where I enjoy being, so I'm leaving this choice up to Broken

Broken chooses to explore the void as it would be best to know his surroundings better

pretty sure I messed up so I’m changing it a bit
After a bit of investigation broken was able to figure out he was in the first layer of the void
He has come to this conclusion as the first layer is used as a barrier between dimensions as such because he sees tubes of space time crossing he figures that this is the first layer...
