What, we don't get to remember the sword's nature and who the girl was and what happened? What a rip.

Well first get a lock on the main door, and second, ask Meagan what direction they came from. There must be some huge crack in the wall somewhere to have let that big one in.

Also, can Meagan fight or did she just sortof distract the big one while you and Nix took care of it?

yes we need to find how they got in and fix it.

Rust monsters are vermin that feed on metals and we're sitting on ruins. Of course they infested the place. Good that we got rid of them it's hard enough to repair everything as it is.

Speaking of, we have enough money to get some repairs underway. How long for those barracks?

Door is done already. And it seems Meagan can hold her own in combat if she truly needs to. She said she hates fighting demons and monsters though and heroes don't interest her.
As for repairs we still need to wait for Styx to finish working on the Barracks. That will be done some time in the week.

>>367166
While the place may be in ruins it was not abandoned. Surely the surviving members of my group would have noticed them before the problem got out of hand.

... what does megan have?

... was she breeding them?

Ask Meagan what's she's got there.

>>367174
How are our finances at the moment? And our armory? If we have any significant amount of funds, we might wish to consider upgrading our forces' equipment again.

Also, add to the to-do list finding out about any legendary sword that had some sort of deep connection to you.

>>367174
It's fine if Megan doesn't wish to fight. That's not what we hired her for.

What I'm curious about is how a few of our members are faring. How is Alice doing? How is Lenion feeling after our brief venture to her homeland? Has Alalia stolen anything when we weren't looking? And how is Silva holding up?

>>367174
Well yeah they were certainly eating from the inside up, and just happened to show themselves now. Well it doesn't matter anymore, but between sword wielding interluders and other vermin we should make a point of having regular patrols.

>>367175
These are relevant concerns, check on them. And get general info as to what happened with those damn bugs.

Also... [Remember what happened from the swords perspective]

>>367174
>While the place may be in ruins it was not abandoned. Surely the surviving members of my group would have noticed them before the problem got out of hand.

Though you could always use more money. As for the blade, well you'll get to that later. First thing's first.

"Meagan."

She stops and turns to you.

"You wouldn't happen to know anything about the rust monsters would you..?"

>".... Yes."

"And what would that be?"

>"Well my Lord they eat metal."

"I meant as to how they got here."

>"Ah yes well.. I 'may' have brought an egg here for study. I forgot and well.. Yeah. Sorry."

"Please don't do that again. Speaking of bringing odd creatures into the castle, what is that in your hands?"

>"Oh this thing? Nothing much just a tentacle demon known as Qwirjood. Completely harmless to constructs and males."

...

"You are neither... I think?" Give Meagan a skeptical look.

>Completely harmless to constructs and males.

>>367379
...I believe this is the part in which shutting up nets the best results.

accept what she said. its not like more mistakes are liable to occur before repairs are complete and she will have the proper containment.

Also ask her to find out what it was eating.

it must of found a hidden cache of weapons and/or armor. or our armory has a hole in it. ask her to tell you what methods there are to making sure that thing stays where it is supposed to. so we know to like, not open certain doors or such.

>"Hmph.. Very well my Lord."

Meagan walks away with her tentacle demon.

Now, let's see what those rust monsters were eating..

You go downstairs where the attack happened. After looking around for a moment you notice a hole in the wall leading to an otherwise sealed off room. The hole is to small for you to squeeze through.

>>367393
Call Nix. Let's open up this fucker.

Hmmm... send in some mass produced slimes. We aren't sure what's on the other side. For all we know, we have multiple big bads sealed away.

>>367393
Sending in a slime to scout would work well. They can fit through very small spaces.

Although we don't seem to have combat stats for any of our slimes at the moment. Hopefully that doesn't mean they can't fight for some reason.

the slimes could get through. maybe styx has some blasting powder.

Waaaait a minute, is this the same sealed off area that the crazy tinker bitch was in? Time flow was different there and I'm sure there was metal, that would explain this mess neatly. If not then we still have a mystery.

Get our slimes here to scout the area past the hole. Then equip the staff, if they can't open it wider then we'll have to risk blowing it open more that way.

you decide to send in one of the smaller slimes from the Slime Queen.
After a few moments it returns with a few gold coins.

"Gold..? Is there more in there?"

It nods.

Have the little slimes bring it out a little at a time. We can have Styx work on accessing it while we're out heroing. I mean conquering.

>>367412
Wait.

Should we really bring this out in the open with the mimic around? I'm starting to think we should just ditch her.

Hmm... ok, let's assure a safe and thorough extraction. Get Styx in here with whatever hardware she needs to take care of this.

...And keep our mimic the hell away.

Keep our resident mimic away for the moment. We may be sitting on a gold mine.

>>367416
we need to cure her not ditch her...

We need to find the proper entrance or make a new one through this wall. Time to explore your own castle better.
The gold would be safe in the treasury as we posted guards and told them the mimic is not allowed in, lest she eat our money.

good thing gold can't be corroded, whatever other stuff was hidden in there is probably useless.

>>367412
Get Styx. For all we know, there's a door somewhere that opens up right onto the other side of this wall.

I'm voting we give the Mimic her own damn house nearby and forbay her from entering the castle without permission. That or ditch her, because no matter how eventually useful she can be fuuuuuuck her stealing our shit.

It's either that or we train her to be more obedient because we really never got a chance to discipline her properly. Just aroused her like once and that's not a real punishment.

>>367423

OH YEA

I'd rather train her and cure her than banish her.If we banished our units when they were useless, we would be down a few key people.

>>367430
It's not that she's useless. it's that she eats our money.

If there's no monsters inside that room, I say we have the slimes count is and only bring some out at our order. Make it our money vault, since the Mimic can't get in.

do not banish or excomunicate the mimic, just have her help in an empty room for a while.

The Mimic, Alalia, is locked away in Meagan's room when you or her aren't around to keep an eye on her. There's no point in wasting a potentially good unit.

You order Styx to begin work on the small hole and soon it is big enough for you to squeeze into.

Wow... Certainly not a fortune but there is quite a bit of gold here. There is also some rusted up metal that is being used to make a crude nest of sorts and a chest.

have someone who isn't a robot made of metal gather those eggs and bring them to megan. then check the chest.

>>367451
Paranoia demands that we inspect the chest for traps before attempting to open it.

Aside from that, awesome! We got loot!

Another mimic? A dragon hoard?
Oh, I see eggs in the nest, better get those to Megan before they hatch into more feral rust monsters.

>>367451

No other exits it seems.. You have Meagan take away the eggs, a task she seems very eager to do.

You store all the gold away bringing you to a little over G1,400.

The chest doesn't appear to be trapped. You open it rather easily.

>>367461
>Inside is a... You decide to discard the Odd Photo.
By discarding it, we have essentially handed it to the first minion to be nearby and curious. That photograph is now in general circulation and totally out of our control. I wonder who grabbed it...

>>367462
>The chest also contains a journal of sorts.
Ask around, see if anyone else recognizes the language.

Don't discard the photo... its cute. Keep it.

Immediately spend as much of the gold as needed to buy what you need to fully repair the castle (yay!), including flight mechanism and everything.

Ask your styx if she recognizes the language, you will have to somehow translate it. This was a room sealed from all sides hidden in your castle, it must have been a hidden storage / emergency cache that you made before dying and coming back. The photo is further evidence of that.

doesn't that look like your eye... maybe you have two modes?

>>367461
Slight mistake you realize that you have a total of G2,400

>>367462

AND THEN HE SPOKE! (images) I GOPE HE IONSI DERS ME A

I wonder if this is your creator's journal.

>>367473
Where did you get said 'Translation' from?

Uh guys, that pic was of Silva. Might become far more trouble than it's worth...

>>367474
It's a code used in previous quests done by the same author. If you want to know how it works... well, try figuring it out. It shouldn't be too hard with the letters I've revealed.

It's a simple cypher
"AND THEN HE SPOKE!

Hmm.

Keep this journal safe. There are all kinds of crazy magics in the world; maybe we'll be able to find something that can restore it, or divine what it once said in full. It sounds like the tale of our creation.


If that Cute Photo is of anyone we recognize, we should probably show it to them. They would probably care as much as we do about mysteries of the past sealed away in a previously unknown room, after all.

perhaps that is what motivated you in the past, the fighting between the kingdoms took your mother.

>>367480
Keep this journal very close to you at all times. Also, let's look into ways of restoring the text. Time magic, perhaps.

Also, we have a very straightforward task we can do right now. Ask Styx what your eye is made out of.

>>367483
ah yes, get a time mage to reverse the flow of time on it. good idea.

Mother... huh. We will trust Styx with this, no one else. We will talk with her about it later, she should be able to help us work out more we could alone. Finish investigating and securing the area then let's get out of here.

that photo looks a little bit like syliva, not her but maybe a demon of the same species? also that image next to the eye diagram looks like a picture of that weird orb that slyiva has instead of a chest.

There's nothing more of interest in the area, time to see Styx again.
--------------------------------

>"Hmm... This book does seem to be about you. But most of the thing is destroyed, I can't read it. If I could just decipher some of these notes then I'd at least be able to see what it is you're made of.."

tell her the idea of a time mage rewinding it to like.. 50 years ago.

Is she saying she can't read the code at all, or is she just having problems with the damage? If the former, help her with the translation. Also, she's not to discuss this with anyone else until we figure out if this puts you at risk.

Why the heck was Silva's picture in there though? Very strange... unless your previous self had a more intimate relationship with her than we're aware of.

>>367497
Too far. Ask the time mage to first determine when it was last written in, and then rewind it to as it was just after that.
I would expect there to be an entire circle of magic related to the restoration, preservation, and managing information of books. Librarimancy?

This takes priority, so send somebody to ask for an estimate on the cost of book restoration.

You'd rather not consider any previous relationships with Silva..

"Is it possible for a time mage to restore this?"

>"Perhaps.. Time magic is a tricky thing my Lord. Even the time mages only know combat spells. And a rewind... Well it's just not possible. A few seconds maybe but not one of this scale. There might be people who are able to restore it with magic but that's only if all the pieces are here. Some pages are completely gone with others on the verge of crumbling to dust."

still, restoring the pages with the important details such as what you are made of and who made you would be enough.

>>367501
Lost to time. Frustrating. What the heck is that symbol? Is there any way to tell who wrote this? A signature somewhere perhaps?

Also if we're not investigating the picture, get rid of it. Or give it to Silva, I dunno. We could let her decide what to do with the thing.

>>367501
Put it back in the chest so it's with all the OTHER parts that detached in there, and send Ruby to ask the Mages if they have anybody who can restore damaged books.
Newbie mages probably mess up books all the time, and humans probably have a lot of infrastructure. They probably have magic for librarians to deal with this sort of thing.

>>367504
Actually, does anybody here know any mages that can do that? Ruby? Kass? Megan?

Let's get our floating disc up and running. With our newfound status as an Overlord with a bit of disposable income, we gotta keep our cash secure. I don't want a case where a complete idiot hero just waltzing in our double doors again.

"Hmm. I think I have an idea."

You make a quick trip back down and grab the box and bring it to Meagan. She had fought the Rust Monster using some form of book magic so maybe..
-------------------------------

>"Oh damn.. This is in bad condition. Uh.. I can try to restore it a bit. At least make it so the pages won't turn to dust.."

She starts chanting. The book is lifted out of your hands. You can see some of the pages stitch together and becoming whole. the book looks like it's in great condition now.

You can read a bit more.

Call Emily here, and give her a hug.

We are clearly made of the Fourth Wall.

>>367507
Well, this is certainly something to think on... and it tells us something else. Are we still living in our creator's home, or is it somewhere else in the Chaos Spiral, unknown to us? We should spend some time looking through our castle, ensuring that we know every corner of it, in case there's anything else that catches our eye. Failing that, after the castle is repaired we should begin sweeping the immediate area, looking for points of potential interest.

I am inclined to show Silva the picture, though. She's lost much of her memory, same as you- any vestige of the past is something she would likely be happy to see. Besides, she looks so happy in that image...

Hmm... looking at the first bit it seems that when it was written golems had yet to be made of flesh and steel. Yet clearly that's been a thing. It may well have been that our mother is also the first to create those, ask Meagan where and how they were first created, and by whom.

We can have her look at the diagrams as well, but Styx should do better with that. Actually get Styx here with Meagan so they can put their heads together.

>>367566
this

If you are from the same creator, Silva is made from entropy and you from order, obviously. So I think she's the only one that can really kill you, that or Time since all is eventually reduced to entropy through time. This is obvious thanks to your established previous personalities, Silva wanted to destroy everything and for you to control it to the last bit. You would kill things that would be threats to your control because control IS you.

All right, so Silva and a Time Golem are your biggest threats, otherwise you're immortal. Cool beans if that theory is true. A Time/Entropy Mage could be a threat too but that would be dramatically disappointing if one of those killed you off if you've had no previous relationship with one another.

now that I've think about it...if we are made of the law of the universe we are not really order, more like we are chaos, order and time.

>>367619
just ONE law of the universe, not all of them.

Actually, chaos might not be too far from the truth. Remember, there is a law of the universe know as the Chaos Theory. The butterfly effect being one example of it. It's still a basic rule and it seems to make sense to how old us rised to power(in war, most people wouldn't think of a third party being the cause of their downfall). Heck, our splintered, yet connected mind is a great example.

Hell, we are doing it AGAIN with what happened to the sword. Small pebble making a big splash. So yeah, that may be it.

Anywho, with the funds we have, let's work on repairing whatever we can first before upgrading gear. We need to get off the ground.

Yeah, let's repair the barracks ASAP, then work on getting the Levitation Ring in working order. BDJXDJDXENSI. That'll be the password to input if we ever need to land.

"Thank you Meagan, you've been a great help."

>"No prob."

You head off to Styx's lab. With the amount of money you received you feel it is time to upgrade.

When you ask about upgrades Styx pulls out the charts with a few additions made to it.
She says she can also make the fixes instantly for an addition G100 a piece. When asked how she shrugs and says that's just how it works.

give her a weird look and ask if she is part mimic. then pay 1100 to get this thing airborne again.

We are 5 gold short of repairing everything. Let's get everything but the alchemy lab fixed up.

we could zip out and do some trivial encounter for the last five gold, or we could pay to have the flotation ring finished instantly. 105 gold probably would not take that much longer in a strategic sense to get than 5 gold.

>>367702
Basically this, but let's leave the court undone for now, and do both the labs. Since they actually matter.

everything but the alchemy lab

>>367700
Save Court and Alchemy lab for later, ask Styx about buying shops and investments and other methods to get more revenue in without having to go battle for it ever time.

This is just so she doesn't have to reveal this gameplay mechanic like she did just now with the instabuild ability. We'll know about it know and with these games there's ALWAYS an investment mechanic.

>>367700
Lets get everything but the court, then have Styx grind Alchemy to max rank and start making potions to sell for mad dosh.

100 to fix everything instantly? or 100 per item for instantly fix it?

What does the Court do? And the Alchemy lab? And why don't we sent out so minions to get the last gold?

I can make potions out of the various monster bits you bring in. Some of them can sell for quite a bit."

Leave the alchemy lab for now. I agree we should get the demon lab and FD up immediately though, and with the 100g instant fee.

>>367745
... Actually yeah, that's a good idea. We can always come back and insta-build the Alchemy Lab after a visit to the Merchant Bro.
... Moreover, we can visit him before we commit to any spending.

Flotation, we don't want more uninvited guests.

>>367749
Yup.

>>367734
About how much money does the alchemy lab make each day? If it can pay for itself within a month then let's get it right now.

how long does it take to fix each thing without the instant fix payment? because if its not too long I am perfectly fine with waiting. That is, fix everything but the court, slowly. Starting with the floatation ring.

lets repair the floatatin ring istant andd everithing else slow

>>367745
We only have 1400, that's not enough.

Get floatation ring and screw the instant bonus. We're going to see Favibro.

i thought we had more than that, i mean we got 1000 gold from the unit reel thing.

>>367788
we do.

>>367794
>>367788
Didn't we give that to Rose or something?

>>367802
Nah we just had her do the reel spinning, the cash is ours. I think some of the other boons would have effected her specifically though.

current inventory is kept here http://tgchan.org/wiki/Overlord_Stats#Current_Inventory
It'll always be as up to date as possible.

You know, we could just sell a few potions and get everything right there. Like one or two.

I say go see Favio first. If we still have enough after, we get the labs and floatation ring with quickbonus.

You decide to spend G1100 on the floatation ring and having it fixed instantly. No longer shall any heroes barge into your castle.

As soon as you pay for it you can hear the stone fragments of the ring move back into one another. The castle shakes as it slowly rises into the air.

After a few moments the ring settles and moves around the now floating citadel.

This is better. This feels better. Seeing your castle being rebuilt makes you proud.

Now.. You can pay for more repairs or see Fabio. You still have G1395

500 for alchemy lab, then see our bro

>>367840
Alchemy and Demon labs. Long-term gain before pretty trinkets.

>>367840
Ask what the demon lab will do aside from keep the tentacle monsters away from our troops. Then buy it anyway.

The barracks still has another week 'til it's done, so we may as well pay for the instant upgrade on the lab, too.

Demon Lab get for Meagan, so we don't have to deal with rampant monsters.
See Fabio.

It's more like one of a kind items that he'll sell off to someone else first chance he gets. The lab isn't going anywhere but these gloves might. They'll be useful in the battles that earn us more money so it's worth it to get now.

eh, the gloves don't sound that useful. I think we are better off buying some equipment for nix. she's still using whats basically hand me downs.

Having deadlier troops is likely to bring us money faster than the lab will, as they are more capable of taking on larger challenges successfully.

Rank 5 equipment for Rose. If we can get Rank 5 stuff for Ruby while keeping her double attack capability, that would be good, too. I want to take both of them out killing things.

>>368167
Rubys double attack is just an effect of her fancy staff. Which would be her weapon that we don't need to replace. Rank 5 robes for her would be a good idea though. Who we need a full rank 5 set for is Rose and Nix.

Get lab and a Rank 5 Equipment set for Rose.

Don't forget to congratulate Rose, and compliment her for a good job. As that is well, a really good job. Can you do hugs? we should do hug.

Mwahahaha!

OKAY NOW SHUT UP AND TAKE ALL MY MONEY

+5 bow for Alice! Delicious ranged physical damage, guys.

>>368179
Alice still has enough morale problems that I am disinclined to sink money into her combat capabilities.

Rose deserves good gear for her hard work. She probably gained a bunch of levels too!

get the lab, the lab will get you more money which pays for itself and then some.

Don't get +5 weapons for anyone right now. Every plus costs significantly more but adds the same amount as the previous plus. Its cheaper and better to have every piece of equipment have a plus rather then overspecialize.

>>368179
>>368180
We really need to do something about her already.

Maybe, but Rose is the one actually doing the work. She goes out there and she does her job, so we may as well give her a reward for being loyal and to show her we want to help her get strong.

>>368166
She definitely deserves a gift for her hard work. Better equipment is certainly in order, but I don't know how much of a present that is. Maybe a day off? Or if she can suggest something that she wants. I don't want her to feel like she is under-appreciated.

a very nice gift could be just what it takes to break the ice queen exterior of Alice.

Hmm. How about a +3 bow for Alice and a +3 spear for Rose, then?

Or we could just buy rank 2 equipment for EVERYONE, on the cheap. Keep in mind that is +10 damage (well actually base equipment is supposed to give +5 damage anyway so maybe it's effectively +5? That would also work out smoother as far as gold efficiency is concerned), which is a lot at our levels, and only 25g each piece. Also rank 2 equipment would be better than anything we currently have on anyone.

i thought everyone had rank 2?
need at least rank 3 stuff

Ok, pretty sure a bow isn't even going to phase her loyalty. She's a ice queen, but it's obvious she prefers actual competence than gifts. Remember, she hates gunners because they are cowardly. Trying to buy her loyalty will just decrease it.

Rose on the other hand has self esteem issues, mainly with her heritage and strength. Giving her a reward for hard work and to show she has gotten strong will not only motivate her further, but will also set a 'work hard, be rewarded' dynamic. A boon if we want out soldiers to do better. Buying gifts for one or another who do nothing sets the opposite example, even making it seem lazyness or insubordination are rewarded.

So yeah. No item for Alice until we take her out in the field, level 5 for rose. I think the level 5 weapons and armor come in a set too I think, but I am not sure if that still applies.

Consider getting her a gift card at the world's most famous brothel. She'd probably would like that.

Probably. Nonetheless, the reaction would be humorous.

Hmm well, it can't hurt. Might soften her up a bit?

Fine, bow repair kit. Also ask if he's got any good construct parts; Emily could use some upgrades. So could we, for that matter.

She said she hates gunners because they throw away their guns and treat everything like a tool, right?
Getting her the kit would allow her to maintain her bow, possibly upgrade it, instead of getting her a new one (which might insult her).

>>368275
That's really smart.

I just figure seeing him fight as a merc on our side would be pretty cool, seeing his abilities or something. Okay, really, I just would like to purchase a sparring match between him and Overlord. Just because it might be fun and cool.

save the gold for the mimic.

>>368340
I think we should put some trust in Alalia (The mimic)

Give her our money to hold on to, as long as she doesn't eat more than half of it. And if she keeps to that, then later we might trust her to hold onto more.

I feel she might be lonely/hungry at this point.

>>368399
I say we get the alchemy lab, or construct parts, and then give the remainder to the mimic, for similar reasons.

don't GIVE it to her. you need to TEACH her not just hand over a sack of cash. put a small amount of gold in front of her and have someone ninja-guard it. she tries to touch any then our ninja appears and bops her on the head. if she goes... let's say a half-hour, without trying to eat any then she will get 10GP to eat. carrot and stick. stealing will get her hurt, stick, while obedience will reward her, the gold/carrot.

>>368407
When I said give her the gold, I meant make her promise not to eat all of it before giving it to her.

I feel that the whole carrot/stick thing is a bit too much. Show her a bit of trust and see where that leads.

>>368418
Why are we willing to spend hundreds of gold gambling on an attempt to get her trust, when we have people who are already loyal that we can be rewarding and equipping with that gold? I have to say that we should be looking for a way to the mimic's heart that isn't through her stomach, as it were- a relationship that's essentially based on bribing her will only last as long as our available funds, not to mention that it'd be costly in the extreme. We ended up with what, a quarter of a percent of the elder slime's treasure hoard? Less? Expecting the mimic to act anything like we want her to when it comes to money is foolish.

>>368423
She can do things that we haven't even gone over. We don't know to what extent the things that she can do. And I don't mean to feed her gold as a bribe, but she works for us now, and I want her to feel like she is needed, wanted to have around. To that extend, I thought we should let her hold onto and protect our money. I feel that giving her some responsibility might improve her attitude, whereas treating her like a prisoner would only server to further her noncooperation.

I think we've established by now that the mimic won't willingly give us the gold that is rightfully ours. What reason do we have to believe she would not lay claim to gold that we give her on purpose to 'store'?

>>368429
Because we ask her to. Look, even if it's not likely to succeed, I still feel it is possible and worth attempting.

She took the money that was "ours" because it wasn't ours at the time. And then she was reluctant to give it up later. We'll deal with it if it happens again. It's not like she's going anywhere fast.

>>368477
Yeah, it wasn't ours at the time. And neither was she. At the time, she belonged to the king slime. GUESS WHOSE ROOM FULL OF GOLD SHE ATE.

"Yet you've remained loyal, even in exile. Perhaps you can show us a place where we can have some privacy? There is much we must talk about."

>???: "Hehe... There's really no need."

She spreads her arms and the air around her chills. Dark tendrils move about her body and an odd gust passes through the area.
You feel Fearful.

The people who were once staring retreat. Some stumble backwards and fall flat on their backs in their attempt to flee.

>???: "We have plenty of privacy right here My Lord."

"Expedient. A bit showy, but expedient. When I lost the final battle, I lost more than my little empire. I lost my memories. What's your name? How long have you been living here?"

"You've subjugated an entire settlement? And you're the reason this area is devoid of monsters, I presume?"
Smile; clap your hands a few times.
"Bravo, bravo! That's commendable devotion you show!"
Stop clapping. Adopt serious facial expression.
"However, I believe you've missed several important developments in your zeal. This is no fault of yours; but I must be honest with you on this. For you see, while I'm the closest thing you'll find, technically I'm not your Lord. You may consider me his heir, though the full story is a bit more complex. I've assumed the title Overlord by right of succession, but my policies have been significantly changed to reflect the lessons I've learned from the previous Overlord's defeat. So, I'll reiterate my request: shall we make ourselves more comfortable for this discussion?"

(Err, yeah. Combine >>369974 with >>369972 somehow; we should ask for her name sooner rather than later, I think.)

Neat. But I was hoping to keep things more subtle. Oh well... let's be just a bit cautious here, despite her loyalty. Or because of it. If we show ourself not enough the Lord she remembers it may not keep.

>>369972
I like the first bit, but let's not admit to all the amnesia yet. Just say our memory is lacking, and for her to identify herself and debrief you on what she knows of the attack and afterwards.

>>369974
The entirely of the "honest" bit is a bad idea. At least right now. We don't want another mess like with that artificer.

>>369977
The artificer (tinkerer, I think the correct term is) was hostile from before we even knew of her. What this situation reminds me of more is the Silva encounter. This time, however, we don't have a Subjugation Potion (or whatever it was called), and, as you can recall, we had a rather tense conversation with Silva after the tinkerer told her about what we've withheld from her. My opinion is that by being honest from the start, we can limit the resentment the truth will induce in our new acquaintance in the worst case, or even gain some respect in the best case. (Flattery and commendation were tailored into my variants of speeches exactly for that purpose: preventative damage control.)

we should avoid denying connection to the previous overlord, but we should be open about the memory loss.

" it good to see more of my servants have remained loyal. I apologize for not recognizing you,but I lost my memories along with everything else when i was defeated."

>>370009
This.

>>370009
THIS!

>>370009
I like this too, but we should also be open about changes in personality and tactics as well. Including improving diplomacy skills and reduce impractical cruelties. Just to get everything out of the way, be it conflict or just necessary information, immediately.

You also have to keep in mind that the reason the Overlord failed last time was because he didn't really foster the loyalty of his Minions.

So, probably best not to assume she'll gladly "Return to the Fold" so to speak.

"Expedient. A bit showy, but expedient. I still must insist on a more private place to talk."

>???: "Very well my Lord."

She takes you into a nearby building. When you walk in she closes the door and gives a small curtsy.

>???: "It is good to see you again My Lord. I thought you were lost forever when everyone had betrayed you."

"That is partially true. After my defeat I lost my memories. Right now I am rebuilding everything."

>???: "What!? You lost your memory!? I'm so sorry my Lord! Oh no... Then you probably don't remember me. I am Shana your Shadow Mage. You had sent me to psicrest to keep the city under your control. I couldn't make it to the fight when it happened... I felt so terrible about it all."

... her stars are going up way to fast, i'm sus. but let's just watch for now.
explain you have come here looking for an ENC Tag, and a sphere.

>>370086
Absence makes the heart grow fonder~

"In any case, can you tell me about the town? I'm looking for a specific item at the moment. I aim to get it legally - I will explain later."

>>370085
So how long has she worked under us? If a while ago, before Styx joined, ask if she knows anything about Lugh and any personal history such as your creation, just in case. She sounds like a total fan girl. But yeah a suspicious total fan girl.

Also, excuse Styx and yourself for a small moment of conversation to ask Styx privately if it's possible to fake loyalty stars.

>>370085
Oho! So, is the city still ours? Ask her how it's being operated, exactly. With our different angle on how we run things, we might want to make a few changes.

Also ask about the two objects we are looking for. I have a feeling that the orb has something to do with the city being taken over, however, so we may have to abandon that quest.

"So this city is still mine?"

>Shana: "I'm afraid not my Lord. When you fell so did control. I could still take it over if you want me to. I think I could defeat everyone here in battle. I am level 20 after all."

"I'll uh... Think about that. At the moment I have more pressing matters. I need two items. An ENC Tag and an Orb that was stolen and brought to this town."

>"I know where to get the tag easily and I think I may know where the Orb is. Please wait here a moment."

She leaves.

".... Styx. She scared me. 'Me'."

>Styx: "Myself as well my Lord... I don't remember this girl... Though I suppose that may simple be because she was still out here when I started working for you."
