A) You should apologize.

B) She should apologize.

C) Don't you ever dare try to apologize.

D) Other suggestions.
>>
No. 1131404 ID: a1a3d9

Well, do you want to apologize to her? If you want her forgiveness, you should think about what the heart of the issue was on what exactly you did to upset her enough to threaten you like that. Otherwise, your apology might sound hollow if you cannot figure out what you did wrong to upset her in the first place. Was pushing her too far the main reason she was upset with you?

Likewise, do you want to forgive her if she apologizes? She did almost kill you if it weren't for Pure Pear, but we have to remember it clearly was an accident. But is that the main reason why you are angry with her? It's probably best to also think about why you were upset with her so you can communicate your feelings on where you are coming from so she better understands you. And, well, it probably won't be easy as it might require you to show more vulnerable aspects about yourself. But sometimes, that's the strongest thing one has to do.

But If she apologizes, maybe you should think about where she is coming from. While she is a monster queen, remember that she used to be human.
>>
No. 1131417 ID: 43b164

She has to realize that she was in the wrong, so wait until she gives you a sincere apology, and not a fast one.

D. Okay Abdle, stall for time, lemme take a peek at Bobbie's book, and I'll look for clues on what the meeting was about.

While I check, just start by saying "Well obviously, we are here to research. That's why we have books on the table"

by the time she says "and what are we researching for?" I should be able to gather clues to get a better idea why we are here.

Just get Ratislav outta there. Perhaps if they said rats (plural) it'd be an issue. However once Ratislav is gone they should stand down if they only kill rats.
>>
No. 1131928 ID: d09f4e

Let’s see, let’s go over some facts, Ratislav will be the only target here because Abdle and Yakbeet are not rats.

Mr. yakbeet can see clearly in the dark, and can see the legs of the spiders

Abdle can only see the bodies of the spiders but not the legs. His flame on his head can probably act as a small lantern.

Ratislav can see in the dark, but his vision is blurry

My initial plan:

Step 1: give Mr. Yakbeet the sword, and place him in front of Ratislav on the ground. He will be the guard slicing off the legs of as many spider constructs as possible. Basically, he will be the trap


Step 2: Abdle meanwhile will ride on Ratislav and both will step back. wait behind at some distance away from Mr. Yakbeet as he slashes as much constructs as he can (don’t worry, they will not attack Mr. Yakbeet if they are only hunting rats) they are moving slow, so Mr. Yakbeet should be able to slice a fair amount of them.

Step 3. Honestly, with that amount of spiders, it’s going to be difficult to get them all. That’s why I need Abdle and Ratislav to step back and wait. Any constructs that pass by Yakbeet, we can wait until a good amount them get close enough for Abdle to use his PUSH power to knock them back in front of Mr. Yakbeet, and Mr. Yakbeet will get another chance to slash at them again

Step 4. If there are any remaining spider constructs that get past Mr. Yakbeet that comes after Ratislav and Abdle, and Abdle has already used up his PUSH ability, that is when Abdle and Ratislav will let the Constructs chase them, and lure them to Mr. Yakbeet to attack. Abdle will need to steer Ratislav as his vision is blurry, but Abdle’s flame can act as a lantern to help them see where they are going. At this point if things go according to plan, there shouldn’t be a lot of spider constructs chasing Abdle and Ratislav to be too overwhelming to lure to Mr. yakbeet

I think the concern is tho, can Abdle and Yakbeet move on their own without Ratislav? Or will we be stuck here if we get ratislav out of here?
>>
No. 1131967 ID: 564d3c

Abdle use Mr. Yakbeet as a shield. That way he can warn you with the upcoming attacks. This things were made to chase things, I doubt that they are programmed to have an opponent who can fight back.

No. 1131994 ID: 67061a

Welp. Outnumbered and they have support tanking. What we do have is speed if ratislav is up. Seems like the legs don't go above. So draft plan is thus. Flank past the big one, slice its leg off. Once done, use that rat dexterity to jump atop the little guys. Jump until behind. We get behind 'em for breathing room while we see how effective we were. Extra points if yakbeet tosses a little guy in its mouth. Got any powers that'd help Abdle?

>>
No. 1132073 ID: fe0bf7

Hm, well, if Abdle is stuck without a weapon, and Yakbeet can't use the sword...

What if Abdle uses his push ability? I'm not sure if he can use it in any direction, or only in front of him, but I'm thinking if he can use his push ability behind him, he can use it to pin down the construct, or at least PUSH down against the jaw of the construct so that it breaks apart, rendering the chompers useless.

If he can't use the push ability behind him, then he'll have to use it to push forward on the arm he's stuck to, and hopefully, it will pull the arm right out of the construct, freeing him out. And hey, if he can push the arm out of it's hinges, Abdle can use the arm as a scythe weapon since he's nowhere near his sword.

Also, I'm thinking since mr Yakbeet can't really use the sword with his weird arms, Ratislav is going to have to take it from mr yakbeet and use it with his own digits. Maybe after Abdle do whatever, ratislav can attack with the sword?

As for mr Yakbeet... uhhhhhh... cheer them on!

D. I'm giving praise to everyone. We could not have taken down this construct without the power of teamwork here. I can't imagine what would have happened if we only sent one person in the hole. You were all courageous. And excellent leadership, Abdle.

I wonder how we can bring this destroyed construct back to the castle to bring to our spider blacksmith. I mean, its probably small from a human's perspective, but perhaps we can research it's scrap metal to get something worthwhile out of it.

Ratislav, think you can call and have your rat spies take this construct back to the castle? Also, I must say the other rats will be inspired by your accomplishments in helping take down this pest exterminating construct.

>>
No. 1132347 ID: c4aec6

Abdle must admit that it was reckless. Keep in mind that Bobbie is just really worried about you!

but we did get results. And well, if we only sent one person to investigate, it would have risked whoever we sent to get killed by that construct. That construct is built to kill pests after all. Going as a team at least helped keep everyone alive in the end.

That being said, our spy rats should be much safer now that the construct is gone, but the fact that the village had someone build them a construct that kills rats is troubling. Maybe we should later ask the village leader about issues with pests and see if we can solve something

A. Bobbie, Tell Actus that you are the one who needs to keep Abdle's evil morals and reckless behavior in check to make him a better demon, while in turn, Abdle is the one that keeps you from letting your own morals from clouding your judgement when it comes to protecting your kingdom when a difficult decision needs to be made. You would be dragging this kingdom down if he wasn't there to help support you.

Gram, I can assure you, after hearing how he used Bobbie's full name when no one else have, I am confident on knowing who he is, and that he will not hurt Bobbie, especially since he seems to be more concerned about Abdle influencing Bobbie.

What I want you to do, Gram, is vouch your approval of Abdle's better morals and how he isn't dragging anyone down by telling Actus about how Abdle saved your life against that hero who kidnapped you. If he was a parasite, he would have left you for dead, but he risked his life to come for your rescue. (no need to say Shadow Taker's name unless you absolutely have to)
