So I have my party of Thodren, Jehral and Gustav ready to kill some monsters. Still... We'd better go over some strategy, I don't want to get trampled to death by a rampaging hell-beast. It's basically an open field from the village to the forest where the thing seems to be living. Where, how and when we fight might make a big difference.

Kill it until it stops being alive.

Jehral is the point man. He is hopefully fast enough to not die horribly before he discovers the beast. Then Thodren after him, you after Thodren and Gustav bringing up the rear.

Jehral and Gustav stay back and provide ranged support with you and Thodren get in close and smash, stab, cut and generally just kill the fuck out of the manticore until it can't move anymore.

First thing: Investigate where it has been attacking, figure out its habits and patterns.

A trap of some kind will need to be set, even if it's just you guys waiting to pounce on it. It would be done best if we can manage all of the following: locate it, keep it from running and especially flying, keep it vulnerable, disable or avoid it's poison, and kill it fast.

We know Jehral can track things, is he a trapper as well? The safest thing may be to set a trap for it in its lair or elsewhere in the forest. Maybe easier to wait for it and set a tap in the town, but too high a chance for collateral damage which will likely get taken from our pay. Just try to avoid fighting it in the wide open, if you meet just try to snipe the fucker hard and drive it off. Gustavs magic might be able to do something about its poison, freezing up whatever part of the body it comes out of is a good idea, if he can't disable it directly.

In the forest, it will be easier to keep from getting hit. There's more cover around. You can ambush it... and also wear it down gradually after the initial strike with ranged attacks.

The most important thing to do in this fight is to disable its stinger.

If it's big and the forest is dense, fight it there. It'll have a lot more difficulty moving about, especially in turning to hit you with it's sting.

Let's camp out in the village and attack it when it comes in. See if we can arrange a few people to attack it with us. Tell them all they need to do is look out a doorway and fire an arrow at it when given a signal and then hide and we'll do the rest.

We are going to set an ambush. First step is to select the killzone. Let's gen an old western style street with houses on either side. Next comes the trap. We need to keep it from fleeing. We have to seal both ends of the street. We need something like fire from whatever or wagons to physically block the exits. Third comes the attack. The ambush will be enacted as soon as the target steps on the metephorical red x. Set Thorden on the side of the street North of the red x (any direction will work as long as the others shift to match the plan) hidden from view in a building. Get Rynh and Gustav to hide South of the red x. Jehral stands in the street right on top of the red X. Now the actual combat tactics. Whenever the fuck the Monster gets here get him to confront Jehral. Now have Jehral purely evade. We want to get Monster on top of the red x. Jehral will see him coming and will move into position east or west of the x depending on what direction the monster comes from. There is no excuse for not being in the right place when it gets here. As soon as the monster hits the x the attack begins. (Fuck Rynh needs a sword for this. Borrow one or something.). Any of the volunteers let off their bow or crossbow shots and then immediatley hide again. Thorden comes out from the north with a good battle cry and some fierce bashing. Monster should prioritize Thorden as the one that needs dealing with first. As the monster turns to engage him Rynh and Gustav attack from what is now his rear. Gustav opens up with a powerful slow/freeze/paralyze spell to slow its movement. Rynh comes in with her sword (I said this was important. You will see why.) and puts everything she's got into one swing aimed at the tail. We hope it severs clean through. Then Jehral attacks from his side and it turns into a slugfest with the enemy already surrouded, slowed, and missing 1/3 of his offensive power. The rest of the fight should be really easy compared to a straight up duel.

TL;DR A basic ambush.

I don't really like the idea of using Jehral as bait, but if no one agrees on a plan nothing will ever get done, so I second this.

I'd only add that I agree that a field of battle populated by trees or otherwise obstacles would give the advantage to you over the manticore.
>>
No. 216386 ID: c2c011

>>216377
I'm not really feeling this plan. We would need to pay the damn villagers. Which is bad.

But it also feels like a needlessly complex ambush plan that has too many variables that could fuck things up. If we're doing an ambush then we should stick to something simpler, like giant logs smashing the manticore as it goes up to eat a goat or something. Or we just jump out of the bushes and smash the shit out of it as it comes to eat a maiden or a goat or something. Possibly a maiden goat, named Nan.

Okay, it's very simple, we do standard RPG battle formation. Marching order goes: Thodren, You, Gustav.
Thodren smashes things up close and directly. You assist from a close distance, alternating between direct attack or ranged magical dependant on the situation. Both of you have the job of protecting Gustav, who nukes the shit out of things from a distance with magical awesome.
The Chimera's main target should be Thodren, but you're there to interpose yourself should he become too damaged or the chimera breaks off in an attempt to get at Gustav.
Jehral is the thiefy rogue and so will mostly look for openings, possibilities for sneak attack, or resort to ranged bowmanship should none of those present themselves. If things go horribly south, he will provide a distraction, if only because he's probably the fastest should be able to get away by himself.

The chimera should drop pretty quickly from the combined assault, unless it's ridiculously powerful.

Jehral: Get out of its direct line of sight and annoy it from the side, aim for it's eyes.

Rynh: Put on a magic shield over yourself and enhance speed. Prepare lightning lance.

Thodren: Go on in, aim for its Feet, try to break something.

Gustav: Enhance Thodren. Lots of defence, attack and speed(in that order of priority). Keep them strong and blast the beast when possible. STAY BACK. Three lengths out of its attack range (meaning it would have to lunge its own attack range 3 times to get to you).

Gustav and I blast the thing. I hit it with lightning, he hits it with ice.

Just want to add to this, when you are adding elements to you attacks don't just consider how strong it is but how it effects the target.

Lightning is great for stunning and sudden death, but if you put it on your spear and attack something big it's muscles will tense up and it'll be harder to penetrate or your weapon can even get stuck. Shooting lightning into the heart, head or neck however can take creatures out right away.

Fire will work more like a hot knife through butter for your sharp weapons. But heat also cauterizes wounds so if you're hoping something is going to bleed to death that isn't the one to use.

Ice has the downsides of both fire and lightning, but combined with a blunt weapon it can do greater damage. Doesn't really matter though, unless you or Gustav can elementalize Thodrens hammer for him.

Flank it with Thodren. Keep it from focusing all its power on him, while hitting it with lightning and spear. If Thodren starts slowing from wounds or is otherwise in trouble, have him pull back while you tank and call in Jehral to act as a closer-range distraction. It is a bad thing to have one person in melee with this critter alone.

Thodren is off balance and misses his chance to attack, Jehral and Gustav are firing wide in order to avoid us and fail to score any solid hits.
I do manage get in a thrust that drives square into the manticore's side. It let's me know how much this pisses it off by slapping me with that damned tail. I'm a bit cut up, but neither me or Thodren seem to be poisoned by the hits.

No poison? This battle is more straightforward than we thought.

Try to get behind it, both so that the ranged attackers don't have to avoid shooting you as much, and also so that the beast will have trouble tracking both melee attackers.

Are the elemental charged weapon attacks too hard to pull off or something? Lightning when you stabbed that things ribcage should have messed him up pretty badly.

See if you can get Gustav to coordinate with Thodren, if you can freeze the tail a good smash to take it right off. Then go for the gut again, come in a bit behind and up to bypass the ribcage, go for the heart and shock the fuck out of it.

We keep on the offensive and pound away at the monster. It's thrashes wildly, hurling spines at Jehral and Gustav and slashing and clawing at me and Thodren. We're all bleeding and tired, but the Manticore obviously bleeding quite a bit more than us.

I can smell it's flesh burning as I channel lightning into the spearhead, aggravating the wound and making it's entire side spasm.

It doesn't get the chance to strike again. Thodren's hammer cracks off of it's skull and the whole thing goes crashing to the ground.

Well that went quite well for a 4000 monies job. Cut that creature's throat and make sure it is properly slain as per the job description.

Have Jehral keep an eye out for any potential dangers while Rynh and Gustav try to get everyone healed up. So far the job's gone pretty well, but it's possible that someone could try to take credit for the kill. There could even be more chimera/manticores in the area...

Well you brought Jehral with you in case you needed him to eithertrack the damn thing down or use him as bait, but the manticore more or less threw itself on your weapons. Maybe next time you can agree different pay rates.

Either way you should bask in your relatively quick and easy victory. After all the hero is supposed to kill the monster, receive treasure and get the girl! You've completed part 1 and 2 so it's only part 3 left. Heal up and go spend some of your money on sexy clothing and then get ready to seduce Jehral.

We head down to the nearest flowing source of water and wash the blood and dirt off, then heal as much as we can manage with magic before bandaging up the rest. I give everyone their share of the reward. If I don't pay, they'll probably beat the crap out of me and it's not good to have a reputation for ripping people off for when I want help in the future.

>Jehral basically didn't do shit, but he's our little boy toy.

He fired a bunch of arrows into it and drew it's attention on occasion, so that it was focused on shooting spikes at him instead of slashing at me. That's always worth paying for.

Best not to press it, then. I'm sure its hard to feel sexy in the wake of savaging a monster.
How'd the other two come through, injury-wise? They aren't off cuddling in nothing but bandages too, are they?
Consider getting to know the other members of your company better. I'm not talking about forming some kinda harem (yet), but getting a better understanding of who you're working with could put you at an advantage, or help avoid catastrophe.

For example: Can you, will full confidence, say that Gustav didn't sneak back to the battlefield to collect shed dragon-bold blood samples? You remember all those things we mentioned were possible with blood and wizards, right?

If I really wanted Jehral I could probably just... ffffuck!

"THODREN! Put on some god damn pants or something! Cover your shame!"

"HAW! I ain't ashamed of this. It's kind of a point of pride!"

"T-that's not what I mean! Just cover up before you put someone's eye out or something!"

"BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

>get to know the other members of your company better.

There is such a thing as knowing too much about someone... but what's to know, really? He's a minotaur. He's large. He breaks things. He curves ever so slightly to the left... Gah!

I've heard the minotaur language has over thirty words for 'smash', but none for 'subtle'.

Agreed.

Rynh, the problem with Thodren is that he's more than a little self absorbed. Sex with him would mean him SMASHing your insides until he gets what he wants, then ignoring you. He's too strong for you to assert yourself anyway.

Jehral, on the other hand, has none of those problems. If he failed to please you then you could simply force him to get it right.
Besides that? You enjoy having that much control, and you both enjoy the teasing.
Also? while you can turn Jehral into a well-equipped minotaur, you can't turn Thodren into a better lover.

Seduce Jehral while you're still riding the victory high. You know you want to.

Hm. I wonder if Jehral would be interested in helping you out with Thodren. Maybe I shouldn't be thinking in that direction. In any case, maybe you should set up camp, or hit up an inn at the village. If it's close enough, maybe just head back home to get ready for your new job.

"Come on... Cover up." I tell him, looking away.
He sits right next to me and shrugs it off. "I gotta dry off first, but I guess the kobold's finally learning the difference between boys and girls, huh?"

"I always knew the difference! I was just pretending so no one would hassle me."

"Oh yeah? We all thought it was just you being a kobold and that left you kinda dumb about that kind of thing."

"I'm pretty sure she knows more than you think." says Jehral, piping up to be a total ass.

"So where did Gustav get to?" I ask, trying to change the subject.
"Off on his own somewhere. Those educated magey types must not like us beasty fighting types."

He probably just didn't want to hang around the bellowing, naked minotaur splashing water everywhere. I know it makes me kind of uneasy.

No, he's pretty clearly a human. I can tell by the ears and from having seen quite a few humans in my time.

>Ask him if he knows why the Manticore didn't seem to have poison. We thought that was a standard feature of manticores.

"They are poisonous. It's just a matter of delivering the poison in battle against armored opponents. Also, Manticores are a large predator with exceptional combat abilities. They don't really require a virulent toxin to subdue their prey, since most of their methods of delivering the poison are more fatal than the poison itself. The fact that they are poisonous at all is likely the result of their magical origins rather than any sort of practical need for venom."

"Oh... Yeah? You know a lot about magical monsters?"

"I'd like to think I know a good deal. I like to keep my studies diverse."

"Maybe I should study more magic stuff..."

"It's probably wouldn't hurt. Gaining a better understanding of the underlying principles would likely make things easier for you, but you're using magic based on your inherent abilities, right? That type of magic is primarily based on your willpower and personal capacity. In other words, you just have to practice a great deal."

>Could the manticore have been under someone's control?

"I wouldn't think so. It's fairly common behavior for them attack settlements. They're aggressive to an extreme degree."

>Ask him what he knows about half-dragons.

I ask him about being a half-dragon and about what kind of special abilities that gives.

"Half-dragons are fairly uncommon. There are quite a few people in the world who can trace their bloodline back to a dragon, but direct descendants are few and far between. From what I've heard, half-dragons are gigantic, living weapons. Usually taking the appearance of a huge version of the non-dragon parent with draconic features.
You are about twice the size of a kobold, so that would make you quite large... relatively speaking. As for powers, I believe it's mostly just a larger body and a very high level potential for sorcerous magic, but that's usually more than enough."


"Yeah... I like being able to reach the high shelves. All I can do right now is shoot bolts of stuff and shapechange, kind of. I can't change size or details very well."

"Healing yourself is pretty important in this line of work. It can get more complicated the more you want to do. Adding mass and removing mass requires channeling various elemental planes and pocket dimensions and you need to properly visualize the transformation while concentrating on everything else. Of course, the more extreme the change the more energy required.

"I always kind of look like me, even when I'm not..."

"Ah... If you don't concentrate on a fully formed image, your subconscious will fill in the blanks with your self-image and you'll look like yourself. It's quite tricky, but if magic was easy, everyone would do it."

Woah, woah, woah. This is important information!

Ask him why you aren't like that yet. Being twice as tall as a kobold doesn't mean anything on its own. After all, Jehral's 50% taller than a kobold, but that doesn't mean elves make things 50% larger. "Half dragon" is clearly the important part, due to magic and stuff.

Ask him what's stunting your growth, and how to develop faster. If he doesn't know right now, ask him if he could research it.

You can't really afford to wait decades. You might die while you're still (relatively) small and weak.

"If half-dragons are giant war machines, does that mean I'm going to get huge and powerful too?"

"Er... It's hard to say. There aren't really any half-dragons available for study and they tend to descend from races like fae and elves, sometimes humans. It's hard to guess on things like that. If the race the dragon mates with effects the outcome, you may be close to your maximum size.
That's not to say you may not continue to grow, I'm just making a guess based on the few half-dragons I have heard about."


"So I'm a giant version of something really small?"

"Pretty much. By kobold standards, you are immensely powerful. Even by most larger race's standards, you are quite formidable. It's probably not that much of a downside. Being the same size as most other races is likely a blessing. You fit in, literally and figuratively far easier than if you were a hulking behemoth, crushing things underfoot."

>Ask him what's stunting your growth, and how to develop faster.

"If I'm not fully grown, when will I be? Can I do something to speed it up?"

"Growth in dragons is extremely slow, but then, growth in kobolds is extremely fast. I can't properly gauge it with no other information, but you should grow considerably faster than a half-dragon who is half-elf or human.
In terms of developing powers faster, I don't know. In terms of developing physically, the only thing I can think of is that some races only develop secondary sexual characteristics after mating."

AAaaanyway, you're a mercenary. Rape, pillage and burn; right?

We can worry about your sex life when that comes up. Your shapeshifting will eventually finetune, and you can meet any standard, and change men to your standard... So lets focus on personality instead on endowment.

Moving on, just keep grinding at that grindstone. You need experience with your magic...

Dancing is a very good idea actually. Put that on your list of things to learn.

It would help you by:
-allowing you to be convincing as a greater number of polymorphed persona

-allowing you to look more feminine (mold those hips whoooo)
-giving you a medium to channel excess energy through
-giving you a new way to fight(trust me)
-Helping you to relax
-giving you a new method of seduction (your current tools ain't that great >.> *cough*)
-Giving you something to do between missions to make money

We head home and each take our share of the money. Now I'm feeling conflicted on what I should do now. Look into more jobs, learn more skills, practice what I already know, dancing...

I don't know about trying to fill out my figure by eating. After doing a bit of math I'm like five years old by human standards. Even if I mature differently, I might just get fat.
I did have a bit of something going on there for a while, but a bit of training burned that right off. Maybe I should put off worrying about that for a few decades.

Learning to dance might help with a lot of things, but I'd feel weird doing that. I'm big and I'm not all that ladylike...

If you're building fat, you're not training enough. If you're not, you're not eating enough. This is how you become huge.

Tavern fiddle dancing doesn't really translate to much for combat training... It's mostly just jumping and spinning and flailing around. Ballroom is all strict and coordinated, so it probably be good for improving footwork. It's just so... It'd be embarassing. I don't think I'm suited for it.

>the golem job is probably better suited to a small infiltration team.

Probably. If you had a large force, you would likely be repelled by their defenses, the smaller the force, the easier to infiltrate, but you have nothing to fall back on if things go south.

Scout out the Golem alone.
Don't necessarily go in for the kill. Just find out what's up.
You can polymorph. That's useful for infiltration, but not if you have to lead other mercenaries in. I mean, you could probably carry Jehral in your backpack, but that's it.

It's usually a good thing to have someone keep an eye on your exit, as well as having some access to emergency medical attention in case things go bad. Gustav could stay near the exit, use illusions to keep himself hidden if he can and communicate with the team through telephaty spells if he can.

Rynh could also use her shapeshifting powers to change people into appropriate forms to not arouse suspiscion. Then they could see what kind of uniforms the people at the fortress have, snag some similar ones and go in, get the job done and hopefully get out without anyone noticing.

>Golem information
Apparently, it's a golem and it's big and probably made of stone or metal or both.
I drew a sketch based on what some people said. I have it on good authority that it probably has legs. I also knocked over a cup of tea onto this while I was drawing it, so it's melting now.

As for how long I have before the thing is up and running, who knows. It could take a week or several years to build a golem, depending on how ridiculous they get with it.

For all we know it already has been worked on several years. Let's work on building a team to take care of it asap.

First off, Thodren is right out. He can't be much at sneaking and his girth is too ...distracting. Gustav is a jerk but we'll need him for magic and general know-it-allishness. After that we need stealth and skill, get both Jehral and Shera for that because one scouting the front and one covering the rear is smart. Dagnyr should do for helping with any ass kicking and not being too loud at it.

Stark and Cryssa aren't likely to be useful, and though probably stealthy more people is always less subtle. Far more likely we'll see cramped hallways than room for sniping, and if we really need that Jehral and probably Shera can still use a bow.

I don't know. Sneaking usually stops being sneaking when four or five people are doing it at the same time while firing crossbows... and people can survive being shot with a crossbow. They can live for quite a while, usually yelling something like, "HELP! I'VE BEEN SHOT BY A CROSSBOW!"

And there's more than just Gustav and Thodren and Shera in this company. There's almost two hundred people of varying races and skills, plus a bunch of rank and file militia-types on kind of a voluntary standby basis. It's a big operation. War is good money.

I can probably get any combination of race and expertise I'd need or at least something close to help. You name it.

There's always the option of just going in solo with a support team to back me up. It's even easier to infiltrate, but then I'm in there alone... This is a lot of pressure. I need to think on it carefully.

Lets assume you can get in undetected and destroy the golem.
You are now standing next to a gigantic pile of rubble and every one of the thousands of people in the facility knows where you are and how to keep you from getting out.

They can basically offer whatever they want, because the chances of somebody completing the mission and then surviving to collect are negligible.

This is an old trick for people to pull on mercenaries. Very few of them are dumb enough to fall for it.
>>
No. 224684 ID: c71597

>>224678
Shouting can get a bit hard with a bolt through your neck though, or one that has caved in your lungs.

And having some extra people along for sneaking is usually not a bad idea if things go bad, or if multiple guards need taking down quietly.

Bring the ones you feel are necessary for the job. Do a bit of recon on the place and see what species the garrison is predominately made up out off, and if there is any civilians going in or out of the place. If there are then shapeshift into suitable forms, get in among the civvies, hide out and wait for night and then get the mission done and then get out. If no civilians are going into or out of the place then get some uniforms for disguses, assume some suitable forms and get in there in there in the cover of the night, do the missions and then get out hopefully without anyone noticing.

You should get quite a nice sum of money out from that and be able to afford some pretty nifty stuff.

With the sneaky types, I was thinking of someone to help avoid getting caught, quickly silencing those we find, and dealing with whatever traps might be there. Basically assuming an infiltration/dungeon dive.

Tell you what, find out something specific about where we're going and what we're doing, and we can make a better tailored plan for it. If you need more info, maybe our sneaky types will be good for that?

I would bring mage(s) with very solid concealment and detection spells. Someone who can stand outside the facility and tell you exactly where inside it the golem is, and someone who can turn himself and others invisible long enough to bypass most of the guards.

Then you need someone who does demolitions, someone who does breaking and entering, someone for scouting/sneaking, and one other nasty combat type. A healer never hurts, either.

That's an eight-way split, but that's still 3-4k each.


I would not want to risk going solo, just because there's far less margin for error. Don't stint on the expert help if the run is going to be dangerous.

Anyway, the above is my recommendation if you're going in blind. If you're confident that you've got time, scouting the area out or at least gathering a few rumors about it before putting together your team might give you a better idea of what you'd be facing and let you tailor the crew appropriately.

Lesser mercs would die. But you're a fucking dragon, where others meet grim death you will triumph and gorge on the burned corpses of your enemies.

Eh, I don't know. For all that Rynh is against an eight-man team, that's only military squad size- hardly a horde. And that would give them the numbers to bring enough specialists for most problems. Now, if I were suggesting that she bring a hundred or so goon types, I could see her objection being more reasonable.

Anyway, if skills were selected appropriately, they would be able to prepare their exit on the way in. A short list of options:
-Set bombs on their way in to create their escape route or as distractions
-Have part of the team, or a small group of hirelings, stage an attack/distraction elsewhere and draw off/split enemy forces
-Mage good with concealment/illusion spells
-Mage good with mind control spells
-Mage good with movement spells (teleport, fly)
-Bring/steal mounts or other fast transport, have ready to shorten escape distance
-Mix any of the above with enough firepower to force an exit when things aren't going completely according to plan

Some of the above methods require special skills, some of them anyone could do. Hell, Rynh can fly on her own, so if she's going in without backup (rash, in my opinion, but she could try it) that's an easy exit and she'll just have to worry about arrows.


If you don't like the mission, it's not exactly locked in, but I would appreciate getting an alternate mission suggestion and at least a tentative plan.

Don't underestimate yourself, your capable of quite alot with your current skillset. Shapeshifting is an incredible infiltration tool.

I think your best bet would be an assault team as a diversion to you going in solo and destroying the golem. You have a small elite team make a quick hit and run hit that'll put the guards in one place, and then you go in in disguise and take care of business. The assault team retreats, leaving most of the regular guards out of position.

Sounds like a plan, but only take the mission if you find a way to destroy the golem after you've left the building.

For example? Learn the spell "explosive runes", and keep inscribing it on countless pieces of paper. Once you get to the golem, stick every single piece of paper to different parts (All of them on the inside if possible) and then leave one on the access hatch for everybody to see.
The next time somebody goes to work on the golem they'll notice and read the note, which will set-off a chain reaction resulting in massive damage.

You probably don't need to go overboard. No need to go about learning how to resurrect the dead or anything. But being able to patch up wounds so you don't die while you're running away or preparing for a second run at something is super useful.

flippy can be learned from Jehral
Gustav seems like he was of high birth based on his attitude, he probably knows a thing or two about dancing.
I suggest learning to use shorter weapons based on your approach (claws, daggers, knives). Your projectile abilities are covered by your use of magic. Being an assassin means that larger weapons don't respond as fast enough and are not small enough to puncture a small gap in a person's defense.

That's more or less it. I fully support the learning of healing magic. Reparo.

If you are really going to learn flippy sexy stealth skills, yeah, but that means you don't get to sit around the tavern all day eating and drinking.

Let your focus be looking into the what, where, how, and when of the mission. All the training and eating and becoming sexy is great and should continue until and after, but don't let when you move in be determined by how big your tits are.

Don't even be settled on doing this alone. Find out what exactly is going on and make a plan. And you might as well let Jehral help you on that part, even if you go in without him. You already know you work ok with him (kinda anyways), his talents will help you make a plan, and his wussyness means he won't mind not jumping in and taking a cut of the action and rewards. Throw him some fair change if he does help out, though.

Capoeria is an art form that incorporates martial arts, music and dance, so it will be good for you all around and if any of the mercs see you, you can say that you are practicing a martial art style... which it is.

I'm alright with this. Talk to Gustav about creating an item that will violently discharge any magic stored within, and then proceed to fill it up for a few hours each day.

I can't afford to anyway. I'll just work on my abilities and live in a bit of luxury while I can afford it. I get to reap the benefits of the merc lifestyle for once and after a couple months, I'm stronger, faster, more skilled at magic...

There are some other developments too... Like the golem thing rising in price a few grand. They've got offers out to every mercenary on the continent, but if it's not destroyed in the next three years, the military is totally going to consider taking action themselves.

Boobs! Awh, the natural source of the mental circle in your spells captivated in your very shapes. This should affect your magic for the least!! But there's a lot changing. Don't get fucked up by your new emotions. They can total a sensitive person, so be careful out there.

Also, when you notice yourself smiling, you have to take note of these things with all other bodily sensations and postures, for they're part of magic and meditation, mana gathering! When you find yourself smiling and your teeth are showing and the smile is so wide that there's a wide space between your teeth, that's a sexual smile.

Jehral is not my boy toy... I just sneak up on him and choke the shit out of him on occasion.
It keeps him on his toes, but I don't think we have that kind of relationship.

At least, I don't know if I'd want to do anything or who I'd do it with or whatever. Maybe I should just decide and get it over with so the pressure is off...

>your feet seem to have gotten a bit more clawlike, can you use them for cutting yet?

I've always had big, clawed feet, but yes. They rip up flesh well enough, but any kind of armor will probably block them completely.

You know that feet things gives a few new possibilities, if someone doesn't have some armour to protect their groin then a ripping kick to the balls would probably take them out quite rapidly. And since you worked on agility you can probably reach the face as well, and some helmets don't have proper faceguards. Fun times ahead then.

By the way, have you been working any on your transformations?

Anyway, lets get ready for the big score. You should probably speak some to the goblin chick about explosives.

As for fucking. You're a merc, just hire a male hooker that looks decent enough if you feel like it.

Okay, let's just forget the whole thing. I'd rather think about something less nerve wracking, like my potentially suicidal mission of death.

>You don't have to get it on with Jehral or the Minotaur.
The size difference in either direction might make it weird, but at least I like them. I don't know if I'd want to discount them entirely.

>Neither kobolds nor dragons have breasts
Kobolds can have breasts. They're never huge from what I've ever seen, but they're there.
Also, my mom is a dragon and she had huge tits! That was her polymorphed into some kind of elf thing, but they were there...

Anyway, the general rule seems to be that hairy things can have breasts and things with scales don't, unless they're mermaids... And dryads are basically trees with tits.
I'd really worry about more important things, mostly because this is confusing.

Hey Rynh, you been working on your shapeshifting too? Better at using your dragon form, try out strong new forms like minotaurs and stuff? Try turning into a minotaur and wrestling Thodren. Or into a sexy half-kobold elf and tease Jehral to death.

Well all I'm going to say is that Jerhal likely is going to have a lifespan to match yours (what with both elves and dragons being immortal and ageless.) I know it's probably not something you want to consider now but he's about the only partner or even friend around who won't turn into a wrinkly, crotchety old man on you in a few decades.

Anyhow, on other matters I think we should acquire some bombs from Nako and a little of the know-how in using them if we want to take out the golem. You may be a good warrior but you're no Rudy Mann, you aren't going to be punching that golem into pieces.

Hell if you really want to this might be a good job to take Nako on.

That's what I'm thinking. Especially with her first time, and any couples time together you want to be yourselves. You saw how messed up Jehral was from just the human handjob. He needs to be him, and she needs to be her. But if she doesn't have to be that much bigger it would be more enjoyable for the both of them.

If this Golem is taking literal YEARS to construct, it's going to be sturdy enough to survive any amount of explosive that you're going to be able to physically carry. This definitely requires research into how golems actually work. e.g. destroying a controller is all well and good unless they can simply make another one in a few days. Removing any magic sigils might only delay them whilst the sigils are reapplied. You may need to more sneaky, e.g. subtly disfiguring a sigil to work at cross-purposes, causing the golem to tear itself apart when used.

I find Nako and ask her about using bombs to destroy the golem and if she would want to come on the mission with me. She seems a bit apprehensive.

"I don't know... It's dangerous and I've never been great at actually fighting or anything. I'm mostly into the bomb making and blowing shit up. It's a time honored goblin tradition."

You know at least this things location right? Wait until nightfall, turn into a dragon and fly around the place, get a sense of the layout. If you're really lucky the golem will be visible and exposed to above. You could just rain down all the bombs you can carry. I wouldn't count on that though. I'm also assuming the place is somewhat lit or even better that you can see in the dark as a dragon.

Otherwise, you're going to need to go in have them set and many particular points, very quickly and get the hell out. And if it's a big golem (yes of course it is) it'll take a lot of climbing and squirming around to get them everywhere. That could be easier with Jehral, but he'd still need to get into the place.

What would be perfect is if you can find a secondary entrance near the middle of the place to above, after you sneak in you can let in Jehral or anyone who's helping, set the bombs and then fly yourselves out via dragon form.

...You have been practicing in your dragon form, right?

Tell Jehral that you're off to do something important and that you intend to fuck him when you get back, before you get too big for him.

That should be it, unless there's any cool magic shit to buy.

Guys, Rynh can only carry so much while flying. Getting a bunch of large explosives up to the golem in the first place, past all the guards and mages and what have you, is still somewhat problematic. Shapeshifting will help for bluffing or getting out, sure, but there are still holes in this plan.

I go back to Jehral after talking to Nako and poke him in the chest. "Hey, I'm off to do something important, so when I get back I'm going to... Uh... I..."
Oh, god damn it! I don't know about this. The only time we ever did anything was when we were both polymorphed into humans and the whole thing felt weird and disconnected. Ah... What about gear? What should I wear and take with me for this type of mission?

Your usual gear and a couple of sets of normal clothes as well as a collection of sketches of various faces and races. The gear is not part of what you bring in the first time, you leave that with Nako and shapeshift into a suitable form to get into the place as a servant or dayworker or something and scout the place. Then you go out, sketch out a plan of the place for Nako and decide on how to get the bombs in.

Just blush furiously and go "NEVERMIND" and stomp off because that is what you do, Rynh. You back off at the last second.

Also, bring the quietest goddamn armor you can wear. This is a sneaking mission after all. It should however have some sort of metal plating over your most vital area. (your boobs)

Lean down and kiss him deeply. When you're done, say he's going to give you what you deserve when you get back.

Don't overburden yourself. Bring your usual kit and supplies, and some bombs. And rope. Gotta have rope. You can magic the rest, I bet.

Calm down and stop changing the subject just because you’re nervous. You want to throw down with Jehral so just do it already. Even if it did feel disconnected you still jacked him off. This plan is a good start for you guys seeing how you’re so indecisive.

Bring a manual on golem creation. There might be some good tips in it like "DO ABSOLUTELY NOT DO THIS DURING GOLEM CREATION" and stuff like that. You could also potentially learn how to prematurely activate the golem and command it to destroy itself or something.

you know what? Screw him. That is to say don't. If he either hasn't picked up on or doesn't give enough of a crap about the copious hints you're dropping, don't waste your time on him. I mean he's regarded you with all the interest of a luke warm bowl of gruel when you're packing a metric fuck-ton of hotness.

That bishy mage seemed interested in you. Go flirt with him. Bottom line, you deserve someone who finds you as beautiful as you are.

Hey, yeah! I've gone from a malnourished grunt to this in the last year and he never batted an eye!

"Hey Jehral, if you're not going to show some interest, I'm going to find someone else who will!"

He seems a bit taken aback, but he deserves it!

"Interest? Like romantic?"

"YEAH! I've even got squishy girl parts now. How can you not notice?"

"I notice, it's just that you're like a sister or something... A big, slightly abusive sister. I don't want to ruin that."

Why don't you just listen to what he says and what you're feeling rather than disembodied voices only you hear? What he has just said is that he doesn't feel any romantic interest in you, so it doesn't make sense to pursue him in that sense. Doesn't mean you can't hang out with him, can't be friends, etc etc, but why throw all your attention to someone who doesn't want you? You've always been remarkable and have continuously grown moreso; find someone who appreciates what you've got rather than chasing people who aren't interested. Feel out some of the others if YOU have any interest in them (regardless of what other people think you should go for). Thodren seems to respect you and Gustav had some sort of interest in you. In all honesty can you really say much as to how Jehral feels about you? Other than comfortable? Know yourself to be the prize you are, and if someone else doesn't recognize that fact then it's their loss, not yours. -Z

Well, his romantic interest seems to be as it has been, mediocre at best. But hey, friend-zone isn't necessarily a bad thing. Like a few of us have been saying. Hang out as you always have. Strengthen the friendship and good for both of you. Something may come of it down the road, and a friendship is a good foundation for a lasting relationship.

In the meantime take advantage of your squishy female parts. Go for a night on the town for some Rynh time. Or better yet, gather your female friends. Girls night out. Buy a new outfit, make the local guys lose their marbles. You've worked hard. Party harder!

He loves you. Just in a different way.

I suppose that you are the closest thing to family to him.

Don't ruin that. I think he might be or become the same to you eventually.

I am not sure how to get you out of this awkward situation, but here are a few options.

You could play the abusive sister:
-Get close
-Say something close to him having mixed feelings about ravishing his sister.
-Laugh and leave (or play it further and leave.)

You could play the hurt lover
-not my option, so I have no recommendations

or you could just leave in silence.


Personally I am leaning towards the big sister bit. no matter what, this situation will lave one or both of you with awkward feelings though.

We go sit down under a nearby tree to talk.
"Sorry. I don't know how to deal with this kind of stuff very well..."
"Obviously."
"I just wanted to get that out of the way. You never know in this line of work, so I just wanted to try it... I guess..."
"Are you sure you'd want me doing that?I'd be relieved at first, but I'd probably miss how you pummel the crap out of me for no reason eventually if you stopped doing it because things got weird between us."
"Yeah..."
"It's hard to say this, you know? You've been looking pretty good lately."
"Heh... Thanks..."

I guess he's right. We've never really had any of that kind of tension between us... Well, that one time, but it was like we weren't ourselves. Weird, isolated incidents don't count...

There are other halfbreeds around here, but we're the only kobolds. Birds with weird feathers should flock together... or something to that effect.

Especially once the aging starts kicking in on most everyone else, and you are both half-bold so you should understand what's going on with eachother more.

Why don't you just be friends with occasional benefits? Jehral doesn't really seem like a romantic sort anyway. But he is cute and easily molestable. Then you can tease the hell out of him and still have the occasional isolated incident.

Laugh, continue teasing. Make him feel that friendzone he put up for a minute. Judge reaction, then respond as appropriate.

Though y'know, we've come looking for sex, but it might not be bad to have him as a bro. You can probably have sex with any guy, but Jehral's the only person so far that could have a strong family-like connection with you. You can probably develop others, but his'd be the strongest. It'd be important to have someone you can trust that way.

Hilarious teasing aside, I dont think that you're ready for the golem just yet. Maybe talk with some of your colligues about doing the job in the future. See how each of them thinks about the job and what it would take to get it done. Maybe do other jobs in the meantime to hone your skills. Remember, you have THREE YEARS to do this.

ALso Rynh, if you want a long term relationship with Jerhal you cant just jump into it, you have to give it some work. The two of you are already great friends, so start from there. He isn't the type to just jump into a intimate relationship. Maybe go on a mission or two by yourselves and see if you cant woo him.

Ask him about his family. Why he'd think of you as a sister first.
Hell, ask him if he considers himself a grown-up, even. He may still think of himself as 'too young' since he's both small, and half-elf, which develop slowly.
And finally, how do You feel about him thinking of you as family? Between the orphanage you hated, the Dragon that just barely acknowledges you as her daughter, and the smelly Gnoll that used you for a cutting board and called it training, you don't really have many personal bonds. Maybe you should just let him think of you as a sis.

Get a magic Looting bag made. One that can hold a barn's worth of stuff while weighing as much as a light shirt. When you go on the golem mission, Loot Everything. Every book, every scrap of magical looking things, everything that could potentially be used during the golem making that's even remotely important looking. When you get done with the mission, try and hock it to the guys paying you. You know, for a bonus. And as evidence of a job well done. If you wreck the golem but leave the means of building it they could just start over.

This could backfire massively. If whoever wants the golem destroyed wants to make sure no others are constructed, they'll want all that stuff destroyed too. If you give them the option of either spending a lot of money to buy it off of you (to prevent you selling it to someone else), or robbing you of the stuff and possibly killing you(after paying you for the first job, of course), the latter option is cheaper if nothing else.

Get a bunch of concealable weapons. Throwing knives, garrote, razor. Those nasty little hairpin dagger things. Then get poison for them, and then tailor your clothes to conceal them effectively. The idea here being that you'll shift into a more innocuous form and keep it for a while, and only use your half-dragon natural shape if it's totally hit the fan, so that you keep an ace up your sleeve.

Not that you would necessarily expect to use concealed weapons right away- they're just good to have. Get a light bow or crossbow and a couple short swords for standard work. You'll want a rope and grapple, as compact as you can get them while they still work. Enough explosives or magical equivalent to bring down a building, and possibly some smaller ones to create distractions and use on lesser targets of opportunity. If you know how to use lockpicks, I'd get some; if you don't or aren't very good with them, don't bother. If you can get some sort of magical concealing charm/enchanted cloak/whatever, that would be a helpful buy.

If at any point you find yourself with enough gear that you think you've abandoned the "travel light" concept, stop buying things and reconsider your actions.

I'm probably ready to go, unless there's something else I should do first. Otherwise, I can head out any time. The timing is good. It's almost winter. Up north will be dark most of the time at this point. That makes it a hell of a lot easier to sneak around.

Flying hurts and by flying, I mean falling head first into the ground over and over. If I can learn enough to get me there faster, it would be worth it, but I doubt I'd want to get into any kind of missile range in that form. I'd just be a big, scaly target.

Yes... get some moss arrows, a couple landmines, a blackjack, maybe a few flash bombs...

some form of healing, maybe a potion, would be an excellent idea

Cautious is good. You (apparently) have plenty of time to scout and research the area, limited only by your current funds for food and lodging. Though the lodging thing could probably be avoided at first by camping. If you end up staying in the area for a while you may have to set yourself up with lodging that people know about, even if you never use it. Depending on how paranoid they are, no matter what disguise you're using, people will wonder where you're staying.
The alternative being avoiding social contact completely.

Do you have a map of the kingdom you're going to? A good first step could be plotting a route, and picking out a hiding place.

>a bottle of the strongest booze you can get, and a cotton rag.
Okay.
>A trained messenger hawk or a speaking spell scroll.
It costs most of my remaining cash, but I get a communication rune thingy and leave it at base to talk to others. If that's not what you had in mind, fuck it.
>some form of healing, maybe a potion
I grab a few... or three.

Well, I am out of money, so I will be on my way to the evil fortress of death.

The docks are carved into the cliff side and seem to be the least guarded point. Time to get this mess under way.

Rynh must now be referred to as Solid Drake...
or some sort of reference... so... if they penetrate her mind, they don't know her real name?
