If they're resorting to threat to coerce you then they're hostile. Period.

Freeze her, then take it back. No warning, just do it.

After that use gravity to take her someplace where you won't be found, wait for her to thaw, then interrogate her.

Any other spell, gravity included would leave her able to act enough to get off a spell of her own or to call for help.
She must do neither, Cecil.

>>140261
Freeze.

>>140261
"That orb is not stolen, and must be in my possession at all times. I will not comply and you will not take it."

Ready magic if she makes any motion that doesn't involve returning it.

>>140297
Ah, wait, I see. You can't read the subtext.
Those gems are uncommon, but not rare. I doubt she even suspects that's the gem in question.
More importantly, if she were honest she would have asked you to explain why you have it. Instead, she's stolen something valuable from you and decided to use it as a means to bend you to her will.

In truth she doesn't care one bit about the gem beyond using it as leverage. She has shown herself to be dishonest, thieving, insidious, and manipulative.
The best course of action is to:
A: Remove her ability to pose a threat.
B: Remove her ability to call for support.
C: Retrieve the orb.
D: Flee the premises.
E: Interrogate her in safety.
F: Leave no incriminating evidence at the scene.

Gravity would help with D and partially with A, but does nothing to achieve task B, makes C and E far more difficult, and renders F impossible.
Killing her outright accomplishes A, B, C, and D, but makes F difficult and E basically impossible.

Freezing her accomplishes A and B instantly, and aids C, D, E, and F.
Greatest reward, lowest risk.

>>140316
Still, talking should be our first course of action.
There should be a definite implication that Cecil can deal with her.

Wait!
I know!
Cancel all other plans, tackle her, begins kissing.
She'll be unable to call for help, or attack us, and it will get us that much closer to the orb.
Also, if you so it well, she might help us.

>>140321
I'm one of the strongest proponents of diplomacy first, but this is not a time for it.
We have one hostile person attempting to threaten us, we're in hostile territory, there are an unknown number of thugs supporting her, she likely has guards posted outside the door waiting for a signal, we don't know what kind of abilities she has, we don't know if she's supported by the power structure, she has an item required for our continued well-being, and taking quick action secures our cover story that the orb is dangerous.

The problem is that she already has the advantage, and she's in a position where her advantage will grow the longer we take.
By freezing her and taking her with us we can get out before we are overwhelmed, and can then have the position of power for negotiations.

You know I'm right, Cecil.

Yeah freeze her in a solid block of ice including the orb!

...wait

>>140329
We can selectively melt out the orb.

>>140330
There's still the matter of the huge block of ice and the possibly dead person inside.
Not exactly easy to transport discretely.

>>140335
That's what gravity is for.
Besides, freeze hasn't been lethal so far.

>>140337
Did we ever actually find out if it's lethal?
And there's no way it's sure-fire to be safe.
And even with gravity, it's still damn huge, someone is gonna see it.

Cecil has explicitly said that Freeze isn't lethal.

>>140349
Oh, didn't remember that.
Still gonna be hard to sneak out.

"Really? And why is that?"

"It 'as a Lich in it!"

"Is that so? If you would simply come with me to your room it's yours."

>Damn... I could use magic but I don't forsee being hostile working to well for me. I also am not sure if she has others outside.

>>140387
Well FINE.

>>140387
There's a reason I told you to get dressed first. Any kind of energy attack is going to be more harmful when you're wet, and IN water it would be devastating.

Motion for RJ to follow your lead, get out of the water, dry off, THEN continue the conversation. Don't talk while drying off and don't talk while getting dressed.

... Now that you're both dry and dressed, you do realize this is a trap, right?
And that the fact that she's trying to force you to go someplace else means that this place isn't as suitable for her as the other place?

Tell her that being openly hostile is not a good way to convince people to help, that you aren't going anywhere until you get the orb back, and that if she wants to get you to do anything then she needs to stop trying to manipulate you and start giving you at least some reason to trust her.

>>140387
You might as well tell her it is actually a protection from a curse. I'm assuming you are following her alone, this will avoid dealing with RJ on the matter. If she's still with you, oh well its still better than a story about carrying a lich.

Whether it comes up now or later, just tell RJ you knew she had taken it and made up the story to get it back, but you'd already forgiven her.

>>140398
I doubt it. The effect from when it was separated from you before was pretty obvious. She probably went through your stuff, found the gem, and carried it immediately to you to use as blackmail.

At any rate, go along with it until we find out what her intentions are.

Tell her that once your personality dies, you will go beserk and kill everyone in the city.

>>140398
Be prepared to freeze or kill her at the first sign of trouble.

We will call Alex for reinforcements.

"I want 'you' to kill the catfolk leader yourself"

>>140408
"Uh... why? I heard there's no actual conflict going on."

She is a user of Dark Mana, and she is clearly evil.
Once you get your orb back, wait for a time to strike. You're going to want to freeze her and carry her to the catfolk leader, and tell him what she told you. If you can kill or capture her compatriots then do so, and if you see a large group then give them a taste of soulless justice.

Actually, hear them out first. It would be nice to know their reasons.

>>140408
Can you tell where the Soulless is right now? I bet it'd make a pretty good distraction.. unless tiger-bitch is the one that set it against you in the first place.

>>140421
Clever.
Either this, or freeze her head solid.
Listen to their motives first, though.

>'you'
...I REALLY don't like the way she said that. If you've some way of defending against geas, domination or mind swapping get it ready. Rune thought is your safest bet in that case.

Perhaps the best first response is to seem agreeable to it, she might not bother subverting, coercing or threatening you if you seem willing. Start off by negotiating for a higher price.

>>140421
Distraction? HA! No, you just let it go in the middle of a crowd and let it much on a few souls before they even realize what's going on. It would distract them, sure, but it's capable of giving a sizable boost to the death toll on its own.

Cecil, just remember to start off by freezing the filth that brought you here. As much as we would like to see her die for her crimes, she's useful enough to warrant not killing her immediately.

>>140408
Play along for now. They're likely to give you the orb but keep RJ as a hostage for your good behaviour.

Without the orb you don't really have alot of mobility so killing someone would be difficult. Once you have the orb back there should be some way to screw over the arrogant bitch.

And you could inform her that your personality isn't all gone, if that orb goes further than 10 feet away from you you're already as good as dead. So if that happens you're going to flip the fuck out and kill everything around you, because you have nothing to lose anyway. Make sure you seem really determined and desperate at that last part.

Hah that's true. You've inadvertently built what amounts to a soul grenade. n.n

"Oh there isn't. See it's more of a personal score to settle. I want her dead."

"You know, I was coming here to help a peace agreement, not start a war. I don't have to put up with this bullshit."
Freeze her from the neck down.
"Now, I'll be taking my orb, and if you have a problem with that, I'll just lift the seal on this soulless."

>>140954
We didn't get hired to do this so we're not doing it. If she wanted mercenaries she should've just put that up in the help request!

Fucking evil bitch wanted to kill you and use your soul as fuel, just for a personal grudge. That's Dark Mana, Cecil. I'm tempted to just kill her and be done with it.

HOWEVER. If you freeze her and run, and she has people helping her, things could get ugly. If you use the creeper bomb, it could very well backfire and attack R.J. as well.

First, ask how much money she's offering. Try to haggle the price up a bit. Then tell her we'll do it, after looking like you're seriously thinking about it. She'll give the orb back without a fight. Then we'll go talk to the cat leader, and get her help to take this fucking evil tiger out.

>>140954
Follow her and ask for more details about what the grudge is about. Maybe say something about how you're not going to assassinate somebody over something silly, like a stolen prize pig or a nasty comment about an unflattering hat.
She's already said she's not acting alone, so you want to appear interested until you're in a better position to act.

Actually, ask her how hard it would be for her to remove your curse. It's something she would reasonably expect you to ask. Naturally she would use her Dark Mana powers to try and take control over you, so you won't actually go for it, but you want to put up a believable facade.

Besides, I suppose it's checking into on the remote chance that this grudge can be settled peacefully. Or they might be rival families of Dark Mana users. Or etc...

>>140954
"Before I agree to anything, I need to know every detail about this 'grudge'."

It may be that she has a good reason for this, or it may be so unjust that you killing her can be considered a good deed. Who knows, maybe you can even find a way to bring this to a peaceful resolution yet.

RJ "Sir are ya really gonna do this!?"

"Heh. Okay. Normally I wouldn't pay you a bronze but I like you. I'll give you G 20,000 for the kill. Sound good?"

>"G 22,000"

".... Hahahaha! Okay, G 21,000.That's it."

>"Deal. Now please tell me why you want this person dead."

"A while ago the leader promised to send troops to aid my family to fight against a powerful dark wizard. But when we were supposed to meet the front lines we discovered we were alone. The dark wizard killed everyone.. My troops were like my family and they all died. I survived only because I played dead. When I returned I found that she had never sent her people out. No one even knew about our fight! I wanted her to die from the same magic that killed my family."

>A tragic past. Her vendetta is not without a just cause. But this is only one side of the story.

>>140975
Yeah, it is. We're going to have to talk to her about it. How are we going to make sure she's being honest, though...?

>>140975
"Hmm... Then let me make you an offer. If you can remove this curse then I'll take that instead of cash.
I'll get you the 'closure' you need, but I have to ask... Was that wizard named Dart?"

If my suspicion is correct, we might be able to get a lot more out of this than she thinks.

Avoid killing her. For now.

>>140975
>dark wizard
You don't suppose that was Dart? Would it help matters either way? Perhaps she might aid you to defeat him if this was the case.

As for the job... one way this can come to a peaceful resolution is to take the job, and then talk to the leader rather than kill her. If they were faultless in this tragedy perhaps things can be talked out. It may be difficult to get her to listen though.

>>140978
Oh, that's easy. We get Alex and Nari to meet us there, and have her recall the events while holding the stone. Naturally, Alex will claim that it's a lie detector. We'll be able to pull out the memories as she recalls them to make sure she's telling the truth.

If her reason is good enough, then we go back and hand the stone over to Killer Kitty here, then replay the events in her mind and ask her if she still wants to go through with the assassination.

>>140982
I like this line of thought, but what say we just have Alex and Nari go there and get the story, and we can relay it back here immediately. We can even let in our would be employer in on part of the plan, saying that we are collecting information before the assault.

I'm sure the fact that's she's young, innocent, cute, and adores both you and Cecil has nothing to do with it. I'm also sure that you didn't enjoy it at all.

Moving right along to things that aren't lies, Cecil needs some help as quick as you can manage. Some crazy tiger lady has decided to hire Cecil to assassinate the catfolk leader. He's playing along since her previous plan was sacrificing him to fuel a Dark Mana spell to do the job.
We need you to travel to the catfolk leader and get her side of the story in the hopes of settling this grudge without murder. We have until morning to get that done before the 'employer' gets suspicious.

Think you two can handle that?

I'm not sure we should be taking Nari out on any adventures...

Alex, how good are you in a fight? Are your alchemy spells good for combat?

>>141026
There weren't any posters up for her in the tigerfolk city, so I doubt they would have spread to the catfolk city either. Leaving her alone it too risky, and people in THIS town have already seen her.

Do you agree with that assessment, Alex?

>>141045
Let me put it this way. You know how Dark Elves can use Soul Bind to extend their loved ones' lifespans? She knows it's possible to make it permanent, but doesn't know what the ritual involves. We're pretty sure it's sex.

>>141045
Well, don't let her know you know, but earlier she was picturing you, Cecil, and herself all naked together. I'm pretty certain that's a mental image you like.

Anyway, conjure up a new stone to leave with Nari, since we need the one you're carrying. If they only come in pairs, then plant the listening stone on Nari so you can tell what's going on on her end.

Leave her a note, get ready, and leave. We need to move quickly to get this done before all the killing starts.

>>141045
You're sure you can't take her into the city?
It would be even worse to leave her, I think.
After all, there are people who want her dead, and will pay a very large amount of money to make it happen.
She might feel bad in cities, but it's better than being captured and soul petrified.
Here, she's in alone, defenseless, and surrounded by people who know that, whoever she is, someone is offering 100,000 gold for her.

>>141061
Actual suggestion:
Wake her up, tell her that you need to go to the catfolk city, and ask if she would prefer to stay here or come with you.

[Switch to Nari]
Nari, listen, Cecil is in trouble. He took a job listed as negotiating peace between the cat and tiger folk, but when he got there he found out it was a ploy so a vengeful tigerwoman could use his soul to power a dark mana assassination spell. He's managed to trick her into letting him do the job and letting him get a good night's rest first, so we have until tomorrow morning to get to the catfolk leader and work out a way to talk the tigerlady down.

We know cities make you ill, and we know you don't want to be left alone, but we wouldn't ask if it wasn't so serious.
Alex needs to go, and you might be able to help her, but you have to decide to take a chance on staying here without Alex's protection or going to the city with her and feeling ill.
I'm sorry, but we don't have many options.

>>141081
We're not leaving then. Cecil can handle this on his own, it'll just be a bit more difficult.

She thinks of you as someone who is very nice to her. She's got a bit of a crush on Cecil. I'm pretty sure nobody told her what sex is though! Don't Dark Elves age slower than other races?

>>141100
Then Nari would feel completely horrible once she found out how serious it was.
The best chance of getting through this without a pile of corpses is to use our ability to record and playback memory to show the tigerkin what actually happened, and Cecil doesn't have a communication stone on him.

She doesn't like it, but she'll go with you. Leave her in a forest near the city; she'll be safe there and can call us on the off chance something goes wrong.

The basic plan is that we get one of these cell stones into the catfolk leader's hands and have her remember the events as clearly as she can, then we take it to the tigerkin behind this mess and replay them for her.
Beyond that? We're going to wing it.

>>141174
Do you know if tigerkin use drugs for recreational purposes? Because not everyone has the same way to relax and there are a few cultures that use drugs pretty much as spices.

By the way. I don't think you should cash in on the curse removal immediatly. Taking Dart down the old fashioned way of magic battle didn't really work out the last time, and although you actually managed to hurt him it didn't really look like any major wound. I still think your best bet is via infiltration and assassination. If you can manage to get him away from other servants, poison him with ridicously potent poison, pour acid down his throat and all over his face and unload every offensive spell you have at him he should probably die. He could probably survive any single one of those but all together should bring him down.

>>141174
Who is 'they'?

I would suggest not drinking strange drinks that are implied to be designed to make you sleep.

>>141176
Well, yes, actually. That would be proof enough of evil actions to warrant inflicting messy justice upon them, and would simplify things a great deal.

Cecil: Then don't trust it. Conjure some water up and drink that or something.
Ok, Alex and Nari are on their way to get the Catgirl leader's side of the story. Alex is going to leave Nari in a forest outside the city while she goes in. They've both got cell stones so we'll be able to keep in contact.

>The plan is so far coming together. Shoujen is doing it's thing while Alex can make the things I'll need for later. The only problem I have is one mentioned earlier. I'm not sure what to do if he asks for 'proof'.

>And it is considered rude to not accept things given to you by tigerfolk. Or so I heard. Not drinking it would be a insult.

>>141185
Nnngh.

Alex is coming in an hour. Can you wait until she gets here before drinking it?

>>141185
Oh, Nari also thinks she can reverse the curse.

>>141185
Have a little sip then. Just be prepared that it's something horrible they trick into guests just because of the accepting gifts rumor.

>>141185
If your host asks then just tell her that you need a clear head to work, and that drinks are for success.

>>141185
I've got another idea. Why don't you just stow it in your cloak instead? It will be accepting their gift, you just won't be drinking it yet.

>>141185
Umm...
They're blackmailing you into murdering someone.
You can be rude.

>>141204
Not if you want them to believe you.

>>141222
Point.
Either way, don't drink it.
Pour it out into a plant, or out the window.
But DON'T drink it.
You do not drink mysterious beverage given to you by people who are KIDNAPPING YOU.

>>141223
No, pouring it out would be an insult. Just keep it.
Cecil, we need to get you a bag of holding or something.

That tiger lady is extraordinarily knowledgeable about Shoujen, and extraordinarily clueless about Dart. Be on guard. :/

>>141241
Clueless? Because she couldn't recognize Cecil?
Sorry, not buying that.

>Fine I'll drink it later...

>Oh, the 'they' I was refering to are that one tiger girls allies. When you left she introduced me. There were in fact several of them in the trees...

>Is everything going well with Alex and Nari? Has Gawain or a Dark Elf shown up?

>>141400
-> >>141184

Nobody showed up, and Alex made Nari a a cell stone so we can keep in touch.

Now, what's bugging you, Cecil? Your face is doing that black-despair-aura thing, so we know something has you really upset.

>>141400
Naw. They just heard you were in a tough spot and decided to come assist. Though, Nari is not going to be able to actually enter the city. She's gonna hide outside, in the forest.

Alex and Nari are fine. Nari did translate the wanted poster. The bad news: it is her name on it. The good news... okay the other bad news is her father wants her returned alive.

>Good. I'm glad their safe. Hopefully they'll get here in time.

>>141402
>I was simply reflecting on how the curse has yet again slipped into my mind and erased some of me. I haven't had much time to really think about it til now.

>I want a drink.

>>141411

>...... Damn.

>>141411
The worst news is that we're pretty sure he wants her returned alive so he can soul-petrify her and use her body for highly unsavory things.

I'm trying to prepare a mental attack that we might have a chance to use against an attacker, but it's not an easy task.
Nari is just going to have to be escorted around until we kill her father.

>>141414

How did it slip into your mind again? Did you lose the orb? WHAT HAPPENED?

>>141418
You weren't paying attention. Cecil thinks the tiger lady might've taken the orb too far away while she was using it to blackmail him.

Cecil, how about a test? How do you feel about putting bows in your hair or wearing a pretty dress?

>>141414
Do you know what it changed?

Like I said before, conjure up some water or something. If you meant booze then no, that's why the curse was so advanced when we convinced you to actually do something.

>>141414
You can drink after you have figured out how to handle the tigerkin and catpeople situation. And how to implant the crystal in your body. If you remove your appendics it might have a nice fit in that area.
