Revive anyone who's downed and then go for the douche's legs!

is there any risk of a bug ripping out of him, or him doing some kind of sorcery with his head intact? if not, tear off his arms so we can capture him alive. if there is a risk of harm, kill him immediately.

it's more important to keep Muamta out of harm's way until she's able to put up a fair fight, so removing the threat is the immediate concern. once she's safe, we can see about helping Iagn or the others

Loquui bravely and boldy pulls her bulkier, clumsier sister away from the dangerous ghostskin. She is heavy, but she helps you push her overweight body away from the threat. She rubs the last of the tuglavu on Naqzamti's wounds. She better be grateful!

Muamta takes her justified revenge against the bug skin that stole her away from her gluttonous nap. Shokzali now duels the other bug skin, her clumsy but skilled spearwork keeps the threat of the bug-things away from Loquui. Loquui cracks her knuckles and snarls at the ghostskin that talks his stinky butt-language!

The ghostskin is trembling in fear! Wait, now the ghostskin is taking its coat off. Perhaps it is a sign of surrender, preparing to throw his belongings to a Pile!

The ghostskin is not surrendering. Loquui is brave, but slightly less confident in her abilities to fight this thing. Those arms look much harder to rip out of their sockets.

>It seems strategy is needed
>>Go for the face and rip out its tongue and its teeth!
>>Sand in the eyes and bite out its throat while blinded!
>>Something else. Loquui is not a tactician!

Well he still has eyes, so yeah throwing sand in them sounds good.

... would it be possible to blind him with sand and then disable him? as in, either break all four of his limbs, or rip them out if needed? try to make a snap judgement, if it's not possible, just kill him

Rocks and sand are hurled and the big ugly monster ghost-skin. Loquii's aim is true, and the beast is blinded! Loquui rushes under its swinging claws to bury hers in its weak joints-what?

The joints are hard as stone! How? Loquii is understandably confused that such a perfect strategy had failed. She stabs again, throwing the might of her Mother Goddess born strength. The ghostskin's flesh does not yield like it should! How can this be? No creature, not even foodbeasts, can withstand the might of the Mother Goddess' chosen children-FIRE!

Loquii's face is fire. The ghostskin's clumsy and blind swings land a lucky blow and cut into her face! Tragedy! How will Yahn accept Loquui with such an ugly scar now?
>The thing's claws can cut your skin with ease. This is a stronger prey than you have faced before

"LOQUUI!"

Providence! Loquui's sisters come to her aid! But were they not fighting the bug-things?

The bloody limbs of the bug things show that Loquui's sisters have dispatched them, as Gormoamhi should. Just further proof of Loquui's endless generosity to leave the easier enemies to her sisters

"Loquui, when we finish killing this thing, I am going to slap you until you learn how to block!" Shokzali growls at Loquui. Loquui is still feeling generous to her lesser but equally valued sisters and lets them lead by example.

>The hunting group is reunited

i have a sneaking suspicion Yahn will find the scar to be badass, or at the very least, appreciate that you earned it fighting an enemy of his.

uhhh, we've either gotta find a weakspot or throw him off the edge. or both. maybe we should rip off that cloak and try to tear off his genitals? if the others are strong enough, they could hold his arms while another tries to gouge out his eyes?

Unfortunately Loquui is too low in status-I mean-too intelligent for her sisters to understand her brilliant tactics, and they swarm the pale-beast again. But now they use the bug stabbers as weapons! And the weapons are piercing its hide.

"Agh! Jzu-fotena-ktala!"

The pale-beast thrashes around and tries to throw off Naqzamti, but the huntress is much stronger when she has her prey from behind. He grabs the claw that pierced his hand and tried to hurl Shokzali away, but Shokzali's grip is also true, and refuses to release. Muamta stabs at the beast's leg and Loquui-

"Hourgh!"

Loquui is knocked aside, and she bravely allows her sisters to take the glory. Again.

They fight and they struggle, the pale-beast tries to claw at Loquui's sisters, but they are killing it! Yes! They-oh. The beast falls off the ledge, and her sisters follow. Loquui has a startling realization that this ledge is incredibly unsafe and it was amazing her clan did not have many accidents when they ruled this place.

But at least they keep stabbing and pummeling the beast on the way down! Their sacrifice will be honored when Loquui returns with tales of their bravery to the Consort. Of course Loquui will be the bravest, but they too earned their place in Loquui's glorious tale.

Once she finds the Consort.

She is alone.

Loquui resolves to only play with herself as a last resort. She has the Consort now, and compared to him, everything is worse. She is most certain the Consort is alive. She can feel it. They share a special bond. Just a bond she doesn't fully understand yet. Her sisters? Well they might be fine too. But if they so happen to die and leave Loquui alone as the only woman for the Consort why, that would be so...unfortunate.

Just need to find him. Loquui cleverly deduces that going down along the cliffside is a bad idea. Too many unfortunate accidents today. She loops back into the tunnels and-oh! Loquui's sisters have ensured the bug-thing is VERY dead. But to be sure, Loquui gives it an experimental poke. Then another. Loquui remembers the Rule of Threes, and gives the body one final poke before coming to the conclusion, the thing is indeed very dead.

Loquui is a master of traveling the caverns and tunnels. She only gets lost twice before she manages to find a shaft that her clan uses to dump refuse into the cave river. Well, no it doesn't dump their nightsoil into the river, nonpeople have to shovel it into the river, but point being it is a safer route down; and for having not been used for some time, and the smell is mostly gone.

Loquii demonstrates great control over her senses by not gagging on the stench as she traverses down. She slides back into the settlement that her clan once called home. Before the metal giant woke up and killed so many. Now it is full of the short hairy things her clan chased out once before. But more than that, it's full of nonpeople! They stink of the ghostskins and the bug-things she and her sisters had so valiantly vanquished. So far none have noticed her, they seem more focused on moving boxes of things from one place to another. Typical nonpeople work. But wait...something is off.

Loquui's powerful sense of smell cuts though the shit and the grime, cuts through the smell of the hair ballsacks and the ghostskins. She smells the Consort! Was Yahn here? No...no. The smell. It's coming from that Dah-een. He has the scent of Yahn on him. But why?

Loquui is not jealous. Just curious why a worthless little dah-een would carry the scent of the Consort. That's curiosity, that's all...

>Gently abduct the dah-een and force all his secrets out by CHOKING HIS WORTHLESS NECK-no, just ask and lightly choke him if he is not cooperative.
>SMASH THE DAH-EEN WITH A BIG ROCK-no, no no no. Just throw one rock. Small rock. Small-ish rock. Get his attention and talk. Then kill him-no, no killing.
>Stop thinking with the loins for one moment and just follow the strange dah-een. And rip out his throat-stop that!

>>1117085
You need to talk to the suspicious dah-een without anyone else seeing you do so. I can't tell which of these options would do that, so uh, do whatever works for that.

Probably one of the Consort's nonpeople.
Grab him and threaten to drag him through the stinky tunnel you used if he doesn't answer your questions.

abduct him without being seen so we can interrogate him

Is... is that a female? Strange, they look male to you...
Well, your consort has his servants. So, what do you usually do to servants?

Loquui waits patiently for the dah-een to separate from the rest of the nonpeople. Loquui normally avoids the nonpeople as they are not part of her daily tasks. Their instruction and discipline are left to the mistresses. But she does know a thing or two about getting information based on what Shokzali did. But then again, Shokzali used the same method to train her students. And Loquui.

With grace and skill, she reaches out and grabs the dah-een, pulling it into a place of quiet without anyone noticing. And so she begins the instruction as Shokzali did.

"You! Little!" Loquui always thought learning the nonpeople trade language was a stupid thing. And while Loquui is a master of all things, and is correct that their way of speaking is stupid, it is helpful this one time.

"Little you! Talk now us! Talk me Yahn! Or go stinkpit we..." Loquui's flawless grasp of the nonpeople language has stunned the little dah-een into obedience.

No! Not obedience! Nonpeople spirits splash across Loquui's face! Burning, and sweet, this is not how nonpeople trade, that much Loquui is sure about.

"Arse lickin' bint-hole!" Loquui has underestimated how nonperson languages can be different. This one seems to speak a different dialect she had not trained for. "Ya pickin' scrappa' wit da wrong clan!"

Loquui fights with the dah-een. She is stronger, she is bigger, but he is faster. Every blow she lands, he seems to turn with and spins around to counter! Those small dah-een hit harder than she remembers. But then again, she never saw one fight. Perhaps that was what Shokzali meant when she said to strike fast with the-it is getting harder to think. All the wine clouding Loquui's sense of smell is now clouded by a lack of air as the dah-een loops his belt around her throat!

"Iagn's mine ya skull-rottin' whore! Give 'im back!"

>Calmly explain that there may be common cause.
>Roll over the tiny nonperson and crush his throat while explaining rationally that Yahn belongs to Loquui.

What a mighty warrior! Tell him you're looking for Iagn too.

Get up. Beat this bunny or you won't be worthy of the Consort.

The Consort can have many lovers, including non people. Offer to share. In time maybe this nonperson can become a half person.

Loquui is struck by a flash of brilliance. Or maybe it is a hallucination from the choking. But this dah-een likely was seduced by the Consort! Of course! Why wouldn't he? Yahn is the consort, or course nonpeople would fall to his knees in adoration and worship. Even the admittedly powerful ones like the one throttling the air out of Loquui. She just needs to convince the dah-een of fish potato dirt slime.

Running out of air. Last resort. "Haaaahn! Yes~"

"...wat?"

His grip is loosening! With one last gasp, Loquui effortlessly throws the dah-een off her back! Air, returning to lungs, brain clearing. Danger, still present!

"You want Yahn? I want Yahn. I not take."

"Lyin' whore!" he grunts as he pushes himself back up. The dah-een is doing that anger-state the elder mistresses warned her about. Like a young girl in the throes of frenzy, they will only listen with a correct application of violence.

Loquui showing remarkable intelligence, grabs the dazed dah-een and throws him against the rock face. Not gently this time, hard. He yelps in pain. Perhaps now he will listen-owa that's a big knife. Loquui grabs his throat and bends her claws ready to rip it out if he moves. A standoff.

"Yer kind always take, ye don't talk. Even if ye kill me, I'm makin' the world better killin' one more of ya rats 'fore I do!"

His words are so hard to understand, but Loquui is sure she can make out the nonperson's atrocious dialect. "No, you, Yahn. Consort. Me, Yahn. Consort."

"Wot? Ye...ye want Iagn that way?"

"Yahn! Danger. Bad Ghostskins, want hurt. Find must!"

Voices. Unfamiliar. Likely hostile. "Fight later. Hide now."

"Agreed."

With such cunning mastery of the trade language, Loquui has managed to strike a truce with the fearsom dah-een. And not a moment too soon for turning the corner-

-is the monstrous ghostskin! And...wait is that Yaqubi?

"Master, your arm is missing. You must rest while the surgeons re-attach-"

"That can wait!" he growls back at Yakubi. "There are intruders in the city. Unbound Gormoamhi. Hostile Rezan-clan. Must find. Destroy. Where are your warriors!?"

"Combing the catacombs, they found a ship in the waterway. Derelict and run aground. We managed to push it back to the water and docked it-"

"Don't care. Find the intruders!"

Yakubi. She was one of the more popular girls from Loquui's litter of whelplings. Always pleased the misstresses with how fast she learned, how strong she was, how stunning and beautiful she was compared to the other litter-mates. Oh Loquui hated her. She wisely does not laugh at Yakubi now, scraping and worshipping the feet of some monster ghostskin instead of paying homage to the Consort. Poor, stupid, lost Yakubi...

"Aw fek they found out boat..."

The dah-een by Loquui's side is whispering to himself, maybe he thinks because no one has ears as big as him they can't hear. But Loquui hears. And can barely keep up with all the trade speak, what the fuck is everyone saying?!

>Resist urge to throw the dah-een at the ghost skin and ask what that boat is
>Follow Yakubi and maybe interrogate her-and leave a few bites-no she doesn't deserve it
>Climb, maybe Loquui can see where the monster thing crashed and maybe find her sisters there-so she can smash their worthless bodies-so she can see if they are alright

Follow Yakubi.

Bring the dah-een and follow Yakubi but do not try to interrogate her. We need to know where they're going, but we need to do our best to make sure they don't that we know. Once you've gotten some intel, bring the dah-een back with you to Iagn.

Loquui follows Yakubi. The dah-een follows Loquui, but she uses great wisdom to tell the dah-een to be quiet.

"We go. We see, no talk. Talk-no-no."

"So shut it!"

Loquui does not understand what 'soshitup' means. More dah-een babble probably.

Yakubi follows the ghost-thing into a building. Loquui remembers. Her clan used to use this place for bathing and washing of clothes. The people her clan took this place from. They had this system to flush water out and let the river replenish the pools, so there was always a smell of fresh water, like soil after a rain.

All Loquui smells is blood and filth. Loquui follows Yakubi, and she sees why it smells so bad. The clan is down here. Or a lot of them. Women, Men, Nonpeople. Their bodies are piled in corners like discarded trash, and bodies are dumped one at a time into the pool. They can't be disposing of them this way, are they?

No. Loquui can smell something else. A tang in the air. Like meat burning. She knows the witches of the Odd-women like Sizzala would reek of this when they used magic. But there's something else there. Something sour.

The ghost-thing moves to the pool as a dah-een pushes a dead woman to the pool. Loquui hides in the corpses as they work. She can tell, that was the old mistress of the hunt! Shokzali learned from her how to hunt and teach. Loquui thought of all the elders who would survive, she would. And now her body was being pushed into the water like a cook pushes food beast into a stewpot.

The ghost-thing kneels to the pool, and lowers its arm stump into the water. The smell of tang and sour is getting stronger, Loquui sees green in the distance. Things in the water are moving, latching onto the ghost-thing.

Suddenly a ghost-skin emerges from the pool, gasping for air. "Those bitches killed me!"

"Welcome back brother. Enjoy your time on the other side?"

"No, I don't remember any of it. How long was I gone? What happened to you?"

"Less than a day. And after they finished ripping you apart, they came for my arm."

"Did you kill them?"

"I lost them. They're in the city somewhere."

Loquui struggle to comprehend what is happening. They are...bringing back their dead? Using Gormoamhi magic? Woman magic of all things?! That's impossible! It's-it's-it's...wrong! Everything about this is wrong! Loquui should kill them! Loquui should run! Loquui should not hide- Stop. This! Stupid girl. Stupid Loquui! Do not let the anger take over!

Ghost-thing pulls his stump up. It is no longer a stump. It is a gormoamhi arm? They're using the dead to regrow limbs and bring back the dead! And Yakubi is not killing them for this? Loquui is in a nightmare and she can't wake up!

"Still imperfect, this should have been my arm, but instead I get this incomplete thing."

"So, they're in the city. What's the plan to hunt them down."

"Yakubi tells me a boat was secured. I think they may have used that. So, first thing, we secure the ship at port. Meanwhile you get yourself implanted."

"Again? The last one is still in my head. I can feel it worming in my mind."

"And you'll take another, that is the pact you made. They know the scent of those women, and the Makag boy. It will sniff them out."

"Ugh I hate this part..."

The new ghostskin is taking clothes from-from the dah-een?! When did he get down there?! Wait...the others don't seem to care that he is there. Do they think he's their property? Hmm, the dah-een is more clever than Loquui thought.

>Lots of knowledge, and horrors that will keep Loquui awake tonight.
>>Signal the dah-een. We are leaving.
>>Keep hiding, see what happens next.
>>The smaller ghostskin is leaving. Follow him instead. AND KILL HIM AGAIN! No-not yet...

i think it's time to leave, before they have a chance to "sniff you out". we need to tell the others what we've learned, and that our enemies may have a way to track us

...It was never just the meat the Gormoamhi witches were sacrificing. And they had no idea.

The Rezans did the impossible. They brought the dead back to life. This is not something you can discard back into the void. It could change your way of life. It could make you worthy of bedding your goddess...

And, of course, it could let you torture these @#$%s to death over and over for all the hurt they've brought upon you.

Be patient. Wait. Trust the Daoine.
