"Smell THIS!"

Fire breath.

Remember your CQC training Rynh

There's no use trying to deceive him, but we're lucky that he's here alone. He holds some position with Ivek, so he'll get listened to. He must be silenced. Tell him you'll give him the gem, then as you hand it to him, grab and yank his staff away (in case it's all magic-y) and then choke him and drag him off to a deserted closet.

>>132132
He's probably prepared for the fire trick this time. Tell him that you will give it to him and get closer to him.

Once you're close use one of your the knifes hidden in your wristbands to slit his throat. You do have hidden knifes in your wristbands correct? Because the mere idea of a mercenary without them is ridiculous. But in case you don't have them then punch him in the larynx, invocations and concentration becomes very hard once you're trying to breath through a crushed larynx.

Say that you are onto his secret. Tell the cleric about his secret plan. Unbalance him. With luck, the cleric will support us.

This is why we should have kidnapped Jehral and had him stand guard.

Charge him, make it look like you're going to attack, then feint, step around him, grab his arms, pick him up, and carry him out to the back of the temple before killing him.

Toss him against the floor then stomp his throat in.

>>132198

Finish him off and hide the body. We can't let him live to tell anyone that we have the stone.

Too bad you couldn't have just used the necklace as a garrote or something. Ah well, if you've knocked him senseless, good. But first thing's first, you need to get him and any evidence out of here to somewhere safe. Maybe the moogle will help

I'd actually veto the idea of heading outside. This is a church, right? There should be more than just the main chapel room, side rooms, offices, places for taking confessions. That's where you should bring him. And bring his stick and clean up the blood just in case anyone comes around looking for him.

Hold him upside down by his foot, and shake the fuck out of him. We want some answers about what this thing does, and now. If he is lucky we won't kill him and fry him up into some (look really fucking insane when you say this)... BACON...

"Why are you after me!?"

"I ki-ill you for this! You d-d-d-die when I kill yo-u-u!"

Wow... Eloquent.

Really? What does he think will happen if he kills you?

You're shaking him rather easily with just one hand, either he's really light or you're stronger than I gave you credit for. Aaayway, if he's talkin' to you like that, he clearly hasn't been be beaten enough. Hurt him. I don't really care how, but he needs to be broken before he can be trusted to talk.

Knock him against the wall, not enough to injure him, but definitely enough to get his attention.

Nevermind the gender question.

Keep him as a pet.

We already got a pet, remember? A cuter one too.

I think we should just kill him. We already know that they want the crystal to resurrect the sleeping god. This rat has no information that is useful to us.

Unless he can tell us where to get some TREASURE!

>>135770
Oh, then kill him.

>>135785
Killing seems the safer option. No need for questions.

We don't want her to become a psychopath! We just need to put the fear of god in his eye and knock him out. Then tie him up. Then we'll see~

Leaving the rat alive will only come to bite her in the ass later. as he will report the fact she has the rock to his boss which will result in her death.

>>135591
Ask the little fucker where the tomb is. For every time he doesn't give the truth immediatly break one of his fingers. Once he has spilled the beans or have no more fingers to break just snap his tiny little neck like a twig and incinerate his head.

>>135908
He is a mage working for the evil guy. We most definately have to kill him when we have the chance.

Better deal with the moogle, too. No witnesses.

I'm not keeping him as a pet. He's gross and smells bad.
Instead, I slam his face into the wall a few times. "Now tell me about the stone."
"Never tell you. I only will kill you, not tell you!"
Mr. Face meets Mr. Wall a few more times. "Ready to talk now?"
"Never!" He spits. This little bastard isn't cooperating at all.

threaten to cut off his balls.

>>135939
Start breaking fingers then. It would be better if you had something to cut them off with. I guess you could bite them off, but the little fuck probably is a disease carrier. Anyway, if he hasn't told you once you run out of fingers then just snap his neck. You don't have the necessary time and place to keep him for breaking him properly.

>>135939

Fingerpoint: Apply directly to the eyeball.

Alternatively, crush his skull.

>>135939

Lick his eyeballs until he tells you what you want to know. Threaten to nibble on them a little bit.

This isn't working. I say take a quick look up and around to make sure the town guard isn't coming down on your ass, then kill him.

alternatively, we can go carrot-switch. Have something that entices him (crystal, sex, etc...), and something that he wants to avoid (pain?, something else?).

He can probably deal with pain... so the question is, what is the switch?

Rip out his incisors.

>>135949
Also: This. You realize that you pretty much have no other choice but to kill this guy now. If you let him live, he'll go squealing back to his boss the first chance he gets.

Kill him.

If he gives us information, we can take him prisoner or just cut out his tongue. If he doesn't, kill him.

He's a rat. Rats are dirty. Threaten to give him a bath.

Yeah kill him in cold blood, that will make a man or woman or whatever out of you.

Fun tip: there's a big sensitive spot right behind the hinge of the jaw. Even a little pressure can be uncomfortable. Squeezing can be unbearable. Sadly it involves TOUCHING him.

Go back to the tavern and pretend nothing happened.

Go back and continue your conversation with the Moggle. Ask about any grave of a dead god and then get the fuck out of dodge.

>>136078
Well, that wasn't pleasant. You holding up alright, Rynh?

>>136078
I'm not sure this is a good idea. He might have told somebody he knew you had the stone. ...'course, he came alone, so he might not have told anyone else so he'd get all the glory (And bonus pay)... Hrm, I dunno. That guy at the church saw us drag the dumb bastard off, so we might want to try going to him and talking to him a little bit. I imagine he might want to know the full story, and he might be suspicious of us if we don't go and give him it now.

Classy. I think we should bolt and clear from this area at once. Maybe get back to the Merc group of yours. Avoid the stupid henchmen b/c they might kill you for taking their paycheck's away from them if they found out while you're still in the city.

Of course, we still might need to see the mog about more info but it might be too risky now that he knows a fair bit more than we intended, not to mention we need to get outta town fast and lose the rat's henchmen. So it might be best to go to another town's church for more information.

>>136084
Rat's henchmen? What?

I stop in and let the priest know what that was all about. I don't think he's too eager to get involved, so he shouldn't be an issue. Then I just head back to the inn. I have no idea what I should do.

Oh, this won't end well.

>>136671
Go cheer Nako on! She seems like the safe bet in that contest.
Afterward, ask her if she'd be interested in joining your quest to save the world and kick ass.

>>136671
No it most likely won't. Be prepared to step in. By the way did you hide any knifes somewhere on your body yet? You should always have atleast 3 concealed weapons on you at all times.

So the priest wasn't any help in figuring out where we need to go next and however the armwrestling ends it's likely the whole company is going to have to move soon. Well then a neat solution just presented itself. Get to another city, ask whoever is the priest there if any gods has ever been killed and ask about where their tomb should be. If they wonder why you're interested then just tell them you're curious, dead gods are hardly common and one of their tombs is bound to be impressive.

I guess piss around and get drunk till the next job comes in. This is what sucks about being a freelancer.

They've gathered a small crowd, but I doubt anyone is going to bet on this...

I've got a plan. *cue gasps of horror*

Lean back in your chair. Keep doing it until you fall over. Mr. Mino will be distracted and lose.

Of course that's only if you want Gobbo to win.

>>136705
Otherwise, just keep watching. This should be pretty funny.

>>136704
I didn't mean break up the armwrestling. I meant be prepared for Nako cheating somehow and the Minotaur flipping the fuck out and attacking her.

Anyway since you and your company need to get out of town. Is there any caravanserai at this place? Getting hired on as caravan guards gives you a valid reason of leaving, money and the ability to get to a new town and check up where the tomb is located.

>>136704
Its just some arm-wrestling. Unless there's something at stake. Just watch...

And remember that Gobbo girl's crazy; you could be in splash range of that crazy.

Listen, we know Nako. She's got some smug plan up her ass or hiding something nonetheless. Your doubt is precisely why she would win. Do you know nothing of how the world works child? A million to one chance happens nine times out of ten.

Pardon me for taking a less popular point of view, but what does any of that have to do with you? She's doing this for her own reasons, and there's no real reason for you to interfere with any of it. Now that we know that gathering information's going to be harder than first intended, it appears that it'd be best to get your pay and split. And I suppose you might, even if not taking any partners at the moment, talk to a few of your 'friends' to find out how you can contact them if you decide to.

Still it's worth to check up on caravans. Caravan guarding is a time honored work for mercs and it gives you income and an excuse to get out of town.

That works. If it's a big company, I could probably go all over the place without anyone being suspicious.

You need to train Nako. She'll get a rematch against that dude. Oh fuck yes. But before that, you gotta teach her to go... OVER THE TOP.

Caravan's a good choice. Gets you out of this location without arousing suspicion (it's just another job) and allows you to broaden your search for information. However, for it to not arouse suspicion, you'd need to retrieve your payment for the CURRENT job you've completed. Any idea when the payment's going to be handed out?

Tell Nako that she did good and you would like to speak with some of her caravan friends. You would like the next job to have a little less excitment so you're more likely to be alive and recieve your paycheck. A couple of weeks of staring at a horses ass and maybe fend of a bandit attack or two would be a nice change of pace.

And it gets you to a new city where you can ask about tombs of dead gods. There is still that very nice crystal that you can potentially use to gain the power of a god.

Probably should find a way to destroy it, don't wanna go unleashing evil gods on people. Any libraries around you could check out? And definitely mention caravan guarding, it's a bit... less evil than raiding towns.

>>142975
Yeah, knowing those clichés, the 'dead' god would betray you the second it was free and kill you horribly for being so insolent as to think you deserved something for freeing it.

So, yeah, the insane fuck who wants the crystal would get what was coming to him - but not before freeing an insane murderous superbeing intent on killing a bunch of people or something.

Guarding caravans sounds like nice, boring, work... don't it?

>>143015
That is one possible outcome. The other two are that Rynh becomes a god, or the god is forced to obey Rynhs will. I think two out of three are pretty good odds for something like this.

>>143016
Having three odds doesn't make them EQUAL odds.
Don't you think that whoever sealed it away would have used its power for themselves if it would have worked that way?
It will NOT make Rynh a goddess, Rynh will NOT be able to control it.
It MAY grant Rynh a wish, but it WILL get free and destroy the world out of rage.

>>143025
Then we simply have to research how to increase the odds of the other things happening. This is way to good a chance to pass up on.

Yes, lets look into ways that we can convince a dreaming dead god to give us it's power so we can secure our place in the world that it wants to destroy. After letting it out.

Wait, do we even know what type of god this is, or if it's even technically a god?
It might not be sentient, just a power source, or it might be a more neutral or good god, who got sealed by a dick.
We should, y'know, LEARN EXACTLY WHAT IT IS before deciding on what to do with it.

"Hey, Princess. How's life on daddy's caravan treating you??" Nako screams at some green elf person.

"Pretty good. Why did you want to come along? Need to slow down in your old age?"

"Smartass."

Oh boy...

Get straight to business. Ask if there is anything you need to look out for / expect while on duty.

>>143452
Prepare for weeks of nice normal boredom that doesn't involve mortal danger. Get some weapons training done also.

>>143454
Also, hitting on Nako. Just trust us on this.

>>143452
Oh boy. A goblin caravan.
Nako's not exactly the apex of goblinkind, but most of them are -weird-. And at least a little sex-crazed. If you need to draw the line with one, draw it hard.

haha, i was wondering when we would see her again.
also you can tell her that the voices that used to tell her to due stuff are in you now. as proof you know her name is tura and she had/has a ratfolk friend named nezu. her dad's name is Zepave.

>>143460
Personal information like that is probably being screened. let's just play things out like we don't know specific individuals.

I mean, what if we run into some super-powerful guy that's gotten paranoid since we'd 'helped' them, and decides to hurt our poor lil' Rynh because she has the voices?

>>143461
depends. if listening to us is why he super-powerful then he would most likely try to help, repaying the favour and all that. if we made their life hell then they would not be helpful at all.

Haha it's Tura. This quest just got officially awesomer.

>>143471
A difficult feat, to be sure.

>>143452
You see that disgusting halfbreed? She's a party member. Make note of this.

what the? Tura, are you hearing us too? is so then awesome. last thing we remember is you hugging your dad. if not, then Rynh just ignore this.

also ignore the jerk voices. i think both you ladies are just lovely and would love to take ether of you out to dinner if i could somehow breach the dimensions.









anyway...

do something.

Bwahahaha! ...You know, you two would make a cute couple. :3c

>>143499

Er, I of course mean that beautiful young woman there. Not a disgusting halfbreed at all.

>>143502
Sadly, I can't stab the jerk because he doesn't have a body there to stab.
Neither do I, but that hasn't stopped me before.

Please accept our apologies.

What's the female-equivalent of a sausage-fest?

>>143508

Clam bake.

>>143501
Yeah, make a note of this, Rynh, be sure to romance Tura!

Tura? Dear? How about adding a little half dragon blood to your mix? It would strengthen the gobbo clan and make sure the Cutebolds stay loyal.

>>143523
There's just one slight biological problem here.

>>143525
unless she gives birth to a boy, who then grows up...

Anyway, time to get moving. Tura knows us well enough. She hopefully remembers us. Ask her about us.

>>143499
Hello Tura... How's it going darling? Seems pretty good from here. How long you been working this buisness? Is Nezu still alive? Hell, how's the Fortress these days? Did you ever get your claws into a nice wealthy young man/elf/gobbo?

>>143499
Is anyone else from the merc crew coming along? Maybe that Gnoll fella?

Go make sure that Dagnyr is coming along too.

That's sarcasm, right?

You should drag Jehral along because it'd be funny.

Also because he already looks like he's your lackey, so why not go ahead and make that a thing. You could use a lackey, right?

>>143868
and because there's only females in this group...

Hey, in every group there's a person with balls.

Jehral must come along.

Make sure other know that this Cutebold is not for eating though...

Nako... well... her culture includes eating cutebolds like chicken.

>>143860
Agreed. If for no other reason, then because he's fun to tease and he'll die otherwise.

...Don't question it, it's just the way things always work out. If you leave him behind, he'll die and his corpse will show up at the worst moment to make you feel terrible.
Not kidding.

I'm against taking him, that will mess up the Charlie's Angels thing we have going on.

>>144052
What about Charlie?

You need a token guy along... Or token rape/tease victim. I sure can't think of anyone more appropriate.

I don't see a lot of point to taking the little tiny baby man along with us. HE IS SO TINY. What good would he be as a guard?

Wait, he isn't some kind of badass mage is he?

>>144127
if he was useless why would he be a merc? he has to have something that makes him useful otherwise he would have died in a business like this.

I don't think so. I think he's more of a scout/stealth type guy. He's not really that tiny. He's just about dwarf or goblin height. I think sitting next to a gnoll made him look really tiny though.

>Nako... well... her culture includes eating cutebolds like chicken.
I've never heard anything about goblins eating kobolds before.

"Hey Jehral. I got a guard job lined up for a caravan, want to come?"

Hehe... His head is kind of tiny.

"I... I guess, if the pay is decen- Can you stop that, please?!"

That's one. I wonder who else I should ask or what type of guards we'll need.

>>144967
Bring along the gnoll as well. That way you don't have to worry about disposing of any bodies from bandits you kill, because he will eat them.

any other half-somethings here? if so then get them. if not then anyone you can think of?

>>144967
Maybe Thodren? Muscle is always good to have.
Dagnyr is a must if possible.
And if you feel like having some good bait/bribe/food-reserves/distraction, try that elf-girl in the background here >>136704 and here >>140293

>>144967
Remove your hand... by pulling it back so only one finger is touching him, then moving it down his snout to the front of his nose.

>>144975
Yeah, he'll like that.

>>144967
Grab any half-somethings. Soon you'll show those pitiful purebloods who's really superior.

>>144967
Pick him up and hug him, thanking him loudly enough not to hear his protests.

>>144967

Grab stallone too because..well..look at him

Jeeze he's adorable. Kind of redundant being a kobold, but still. Dagnyr should be a pretty safe bet, you need some brute force.

Stallone is the only answer.

So we can go...

Bring Stallone, not that flop-eared freak!

Damn. Must be making another Rocky sequel.

Okay what about Dagnyr? She's weird, but it'd be kinda mean to leave her out.

damn. if you needed to train he could have used his session power 'eye of the tiger' which increases training effectiveness by 50%.
but alas. anyone else you can think of asking?

>>145072
Shit I have an idea. We need a bard, a black man with a tough voice and confidence that rivals Muhammad Ali, a big box, and three large strings of rope. This will summon Rocky Balboa.

I LIKE THE GNOLL. HE LOOKS SILLY (and is male).

>>144967
Ask Jerahl about his part in the castle job. Might find out something important.

Also, isn't it possible that some of those nobles you rescued are still alive? Maybe you can sneak them off with the caravan, get some karma. And a freaking clue in the process. Things seem kind of derailed right now.

Alright. I'll ask him about it.

"Sorry, kid. I got another job lined up, so I have to stick around here for a bit until it starts. Besides, I'm not really the guarding type. I mostly just hurt people."

"Oh... Alright. See you."

Hmm... I guess I'll have to get someone else.
After I talk to Dagnyr, I ask Jehral about what he did during the raid. He was scouting before the attack. He says that most of the people where gone, just guards and the targets.

They must have know the attack was coming and had all the civilians leave, but then they could have fled themselves... or sent the stone away with someone else. Maybe they were just dumb...

Or maybe you have a facsimile or something. Well at least you only killed... innocent... guards...?

Whatever, maybe that minotaur guy's still around.

>>144967

I've only heard of goblins having a particular taste for flesh of kitty cat, not kobold. Sergals are the ones who love eating kobolds... fruit...pretty much anything actually.

This caravan thing might be a good deal for Jehral too then. It's not like anything is going to happen of course, nothing could possibly go wrong for a caravan. So while it will be a little below your caliber, it will be right at his caliber, and it will also allow you to achieve your goals / skip town on Baddie McBadbad who wants your little pendant.

>>146416
"Fuck that job, Dag! Come on! This'll be fun! And guarding IS hurting people, it's hurting people that try to take our shit!"

No. Don't do this.

give him a hug goodbye

>>146826

So much for that.

"Dohoh i bet you're just a big softy"

Tell him it had better not involve caravan robbing!

>>146826
No hug? Maybe he's more a brofist type.

>>146826
Handshake then.

Stallone would have hugged you.

>>146826
Right. Handshake will suffice, wish him luck in his endeavors.

Blame it on your kobold ancestry acting up, apologise, then offer a professional handshake instead. If you care much, ask if he's able to give an idea on what he's gonna be up to.

"I should go do stuff..."

"So long, kid."

I should get ready to leave. So if I should ask anyone to come along or buy anything in town, I should do it now.

>>147570
He probably knew all along. Gnolls have sharp noses.

And you need to get more knifes. A proper merc should have atleast 5 of them in easy to reach places. You should get more though, go for 12 of them hidden around your body.

How about that minotaur? He might be willing.

Take a look around, who seems both possibly willing and useful?

>>147570
We told you several times that he knew - he smelled you out.

Oh, at least offer up a brofist.

Well lacking the gnoll, whom I liked but am now suspicious of, we already have a male party member as well as (too many) females, and I'm not terribly interested in hunting for new guys. We'll encounter some if we encounter some. Until then, nothing to do but head up and roll out.

let's get this show on the road. head out... after getting a few more concealed knives.

One for each arm, one for each leg... One between the breasts for sexual predators, and one in the vagina for rapists?

"I'm watching you... Don't think you can shoplift. THIS IS NOT A LIBRARY! Did they send you?! BUY WHAT YOU WANT AND GET OUT, PUNY INFERIOR BEAST!"

God damn... How does he stay in business?

By keeping an eye out for competition

i bet his stuff is good so everyone just puts up with him being an ass.

He sells knives. People like knives.

Rope isn't as vital as it could be, but you should definitely get some as well for tying stuff up.

>>147690
50' length of rope.
10' pole

Ask the shopkeep "Who is the Milkman?"

WTF? rope is something you ALWAYS need. Get rope. And a grappling hook to go with it.

Why are you always telling yourself to fuck off, Rynh? Your the one thinking about joking about the knife-vagina attack.

Stop getting mad at yourself.

Also, tell the watcher he has horrible customer service skills.

On your way out, tell the grouchy eyeball that "they" have already taken action and he'll be finding out about it, very very soon.

Oooh, play into the crazy.

"Actually THEY'RE coming for me. so i need the best i can afford here."

>>147690
Try and get a deal out of this. Beholders are egotistical, stroke that ego and you can get on his good side, and maybe even a discount. Say something along the lines of, "Mr. Shopkeeper i am sorry for taking so long, but I simply can't find the quality I'm looking for. Perhaps someone of such grand quality as yourself can point me towards something of equal quality. If only to help me reach the pinnacle upon which you stand upon in ranks of sheer perfection."

>>147690
Ok, you're going to need two big daggers for wearing on your belt. Five throwing knives to have on a belt across your torso. Two knives to have in your booths, another two at your wrists. And now we come to the funny concealed ones, one stilleto to have sewn into your belt on your back, one knife to wear on a belt strapped around your neck, get a collar to conceal it. And now you're going to need a sewing kit, two knifes on your chest, sew some new concealed pockets on your outfit to make sure they're hidden. Two knives strapped to your thighs, accesable through your pockets and lastly two knives located at your armpits in hidden pockets.

Then you should get a few shivs to hide in various places. Hair can be a good hiding place if it's long enough, or if you have enough fur. Hiding one between your buttocks could also work.

>>147908
FUUUU, that should be boots, not booths.

I got some knives to hide in my bracers and I got some boots to hide some more in. I hope my claws don't cut through the toes...

I now have:
Steel Longsword
Throwing Dagger (x4)
Heavy Clothing
Leather Boots

I have ¤1104 left and the shop has these things available;

Steel Longsword ¤300
Steel Halberd ¤250
Steel Shortsword ¤250
Steel Battleaxe ¤300
Steel Dagger ¤150

Steel Mail ¤500
Steel Scale Armor ¤300
Steel Coat of Plates ¤400
Hard Leather Armor ¤100

And a bunch of basic commodities, like rope, flint and steel, dried food, etc.

I guess I should load up on whatever I need before I go.

>>148513
How good are you with armor?

>>148513
Any specific weapons or armors you're trained in? If so pick up what you're best with. If not, grab a sword.

if steel mail only results in some minor speed loss due to weight then take it, you can regain speed by wearing it until your body forgets it is there.

I'd say buy the coat of plates. it's the most bang for your buck.

Is there lingerie? Get that too.

>>148525
Plate is really heavy, and it can be penetrated with enough force. Mail is like a cage shield.

How are you with mail? Could you like, try it on or something and see?

>>148528
Do you know what a coat of plates is? Its a leather or heavy cloth with plates riveted to the inside. It protects from crushing injuries as well as slashes and stabs.

Mail only protects from slashes and stabs, so I think coat of plates is the better option, even though it doesn't cover arms or legs.

>>148534
couldn't she just wear the Mail over her Heavy Clothing?

>>148536
Heavy clothing also doesn't protect you from crushing injuries, so I don't see the point.

>>148543
Also that would give her heat stroke.
In winter.

>>148513
That is no way near enough knives.

Get the chain mail, a big dagger and a shield. If he doesn't have shields then buy the mail and the dagger and then insult him for being an incompetent shopkeeper and go find another place that sell shields.

>>148513
Get the Coat of Plates.

Fine get the coat of plates or whatever. Just make sure to get a helmet, shield and dagger to go with it. You're quite a bit lacking in the equipment department for a fighter.

>>148774
She really doesnt seem strong enough to pull off the plate approach at this time. You wanna work up to that sort of thing anyway. I say the leather or scale. Gain light armor proficiency before attempting to equip heavy armor.

steel mail

>>148912
I want her to take the steel mail. But people have a hardon for the damn coat of plates.

So right now I'm only lobbying for a damn shield, helmet and back up weapon that is good for close in work. If we get her those three then her survival chances go up alot.

The caravan thing's going to be a lot of traveling. Any of the heavier stuff, unless Rynh's got herself dragon muscle on that lithe frame, is going to make day to day travel tiring if she wears it all the time. One of the lighter suits would be better. Also, a shield runs the risk of getting in the way of Rynh's dragonbreath, so that could be avoided too.

If any were available, I'd suggest a bow. Rynh has a figure for archery, and can make her own flaming arrows.

>>149186
Indeed the flat chest would help there.

>>149186
There are lots of different types of shields. Some a quite small but still very useful. And they can be moved out of the way for breath attacks. Chain mail is also not extremly heavy, if she wears it and goes about her day normally for a couple of days she should hardly notice it.

Bows also take a shitload of training if you're going to be good with one. If you're not good then it's a waste of time to bring one to combat. If we're looking for a reliable and easy to use ranged weapon then I would suggest a crossbow. They can punch through most armor and they're very easy to learn how to use.

>>149315
Maybe it's endearing.

>>149315

looks good.

>>149315
M'lady, a good pair of hips can more than make up for any such 'deficiencies.' Besides in your profession they would likely be more trouble than they are worth.

Anyhow, if you look for a bow I would actually suggest a shortbow or even a longbow of some kind if you can manage the draw.

The rate of fire and ease of storage outweighs the benefits of a crossbow unless you plan to wear heavy armor or carry a large shield.

>>149315
Rynh hun, in your position you're better off without them. It makes it simpler to use the predominately male-invented fighting forms of the world, you can trick people into thinking you're male, or at least an adolescent girl.

Also, no stretch marks or back pain. I'm not sure about drakobold muscle, but top-heavy is almost a universal pain.

Enjoy it while you can. The boobs fairy will probably come along with your first child.

>>149367
You're assuming she's not sterile as an result of being a halfbreed. Not that being sterile is a bad thing as Rynh doesn't really strike me as being the motherly type.

>>149375
I wonder how awkward our comments can make her feel before she tries to have us purged.

Also, did Jerahl actually agree to come along on the caravan? :3 Or are you giving him a choice?

Should double-check the caravan itself. See who you're going to be traveling with. Get a headcount, pick out anyone else that's noteworthy, etc.

Also, we need a test-subject for the shard. It may have hidden abilities. Someone easy to pin down.

>You like to focus on that, don't you?

No, YOU like focusing on it because we're you dumbass.

>>149315
Don't forget the dagger. A dagger is incredibly useful in close melee fighting, it's also very good when dealing with enemy armor.

>>149496
We have like 8 daggers already. I think we're done.

>>149503
Those were 4 knives that are hidden. Getting one of those out in a chaotic close melee isn't exactly easy. And they're not going to be as big or strong as a dagger. Daggers are icredibly useful weapons on a medival battlefield. Every soldier should have one.

>>149507
Oh, right. The ones she has are throwing knives. I guess a backup steel dagger would be neat.

>>149507
There is no way we are going to use all of these. But I really like the image of a merc decked out in thousands of knives, so let's go for it.
We are basically done, then.

Buy some cheapo snacks for your comrades, too, like pretzels. It'll be nice and also make them a little more likely to care if you die.
You don't even have to emote. "Oh hey I got you guys pretzels."

>>149636
You know carrying all too many knives make movement very awkward. Four throwing and a nice dirk (for armor puncturing) will do.
