Archwizard, stop being a useless cunt. We need direct intervention. Chicken, I don't even know where you are so I forgive you.

Bangles tries to mimic the goblins' praises

Bangles: "Praise splodius . . ."

GoblinBlue: "aww it thinks it's a goblin! your not looking so good miss gnoll, you look like you could use some healing magic!"

"yes, fire made me scared and angry"

make it think your lashing out was because of the fire on the bombs.

>>353480
Wait, do we want to be criticizing fire?

Just say yes and look up at him with puppy eyes.

Offer sexual favors! Best idea.

>>353477
"That would be nice, yes. If it helps, Asplodius clearly doesn't want me dead yet."

Bangles mumbles and nods

priest of Asplodius castes a healing spell
Bangles is no longer bleeding to death

Priest: "that was just a free sample! for all your healing needs come to the Temple of Asplodius today!"

>>353572
Ask him to become a priestess of Asplodius. We need these powers.

>>353572

Say that you would like some more healing, yes. Follow him to the temple. Hope that their advanced healing magic doesn't involve the use of more pyrotechnics.

>>353572
Tell him that you would love to come over and hear all about Asplodius and stuff. But you're a bit weak from the blood loss and all the previous stuff so you might need some help getting there.

Before she has a chance to plead further the Priest leaves.

Bangles limps across the street to the temple of Asplodius.

guard: "before entering his blessed temple, all guests must first donate a gift to the revered Asplodius"

what you got?

Surrender an earring?

>>353851
Go get some debris from the explosion and donate that.
If he don't like it then ask why he doesn't value Asplodius's handiwork.

>>353862
A possible problem with that would be that if they value the debris, they may be displeased at you "stealing" it in the first place.

Have you still got that nice flammable flask of oil?

Bangles donates her oil flask to the temple of Asplodius

guard: "a rather smart choice for a gnoll, anyways your free to enter the temple of Asplodius now."

Bangles earns favour with the Temple of Asplodius

Bangles: "uhh-"

goblinRed: "you looking for blessings, alchemy or trinkets?"

>>354270
Get healed, then demand they show you their PRETTY TRINKETS.

"i'm looking for something about this gaping hole" show them the hole in your side.

>>354270
Ask how much it costs to get fully healed. Spend what we can, but leave enough in case we want to buy anything else from them.

trinkets

>>354270
Ask for healing and to learn more about Asplodius and his exploding ways.

how about healing.

Ask about Asplodious, he sounds awesome!

Also, healings would be nice.

>>354270
Healing. All the healing. Kirska still has no mana, wherever she is.

Training. We wish to become a disciple!

Healing first. We do not want another near death.

Bangles pays 2 gold coins for healing

Bangles: "so what's this Asplodius guy all about?"

goblinBlue: "it is said Asplodius created all things in this plain from a single mighty explosion!
he supports the studies of knowledge in that only through intellect can we discover the power to destroy
he also supports pursuit of wealth and the construction of a great many wondrous things, so that always there is something worth destroying!
and most importantly he encourages all his follower to live as exiting and dangerous lives as they can as that is the only way to find your purpose!"

all praise asplodius !

>>354399
This "Asplodius" guy sounds pretty sweet.

I think I can get behind him. Maybe we can learn some clericy things like Chicken?

>>354399
Sweet, is there a clothing or armorer place nearby? Or hell a bath or spa?

>>354399
Worship the fuck out of this dude.

eh, gods and gnolls don't get along. and asplodues seems the type to not hesitate to blow us away if we annoy him.

Bangles worships at the temple for a brief while

Bangles: "were can I get new clothes around here? also I'm getting kind of sticky with all the blood, is there a place I can wash it off?"

goblinBlue: "I would check the marketplace for armour and clothe vendors, if you need to get cleaned up Syggs who runs the smouldering rock inn can probably help you there."

Read note.

syggs, inn, wash up

Relax at the inn, get laid or something.

Anyone think to ask if any of these goblins here knew Gando? Maybe he left behind a house or some possessions or something that we could claim. He would have totally wanted us to have his stuff, yeah?

>>354428
Buy clothes first, so you have something clean to change into once you're washed up.

We found Gando bound, gagged, and abandoned. He wasn't not necessarily popular. :B

goblinBlue: "oh sure, he's one of Boss Grenzo's boys. you can find the boss at the bank house, he owns the place."

Bangles: buying clothes sounds like the most fun I'm going to do that first

Bangles approaches the Inn on the way to the market place

Syggs: " . . . shouldn't take you more then a week, if you come to any trouble my cousin Rygger runs an adventuring way point two days up the path." [i]

Kirska: [i]"t-thank you, you've been most helpful."

>>354529
Chicken!

Go confess your love for her while molesting her in public!

say hello to your little friend.

Its Chicken, with a SNAZZY NEW CAPE.

BANGLES HUG CHICKEN

Apply HUGS to CHICKEN.

Be sure to get blood all over her new cape in the process.

Kirska: "p-put me down, now!"

>>354894
Lick chicken to determine if she would make adequate emergency rations if things got rough.

>>354894
Carry chicken into the Inn first. She can watch the door and guard your modesty while you clean up. This is totally the kind of defence of the catalyst she is dedicated to.

give her a break. put her down.

>>354894
what? Just a hug.

Don't tell me you've betrayed the Archmage young Chicken!

Bangles, keep hugging for now, she might disappear again if you let her go.

It's good that you are alive and well Kirska, are you ready to continue your duty?

Syggs: "Welcome to the Smoulder Rock Inn, what can I do for you today?"

Bangles: "I wanna get cleaned up"

Syggs: "door behind the stairs, you going to need any help with that?"

>>355299
Does it cost extra if she washes your back? Never let Chicken go. Never ever ever you almost DIED when you lost sight of her.

"Just need the stuff to clean with. You can have this though." Then put down the chicken.

put chicken down. then invite her to get cleaned up too.

hah. by the time we're done with her, she will either gain a sense of humor or be driven batshit insane.

>>355299
Thank her for offering to carry Chicken for us. :V

(Are we in need of a night's rest? 'Cause, you know, inn and some meagre funds. Beats sleeping on rocks for being alert for another day of stabbing cultists.)

Bangles: hmm look at all this stuff, getting clean must be hard . . . most of the sticky blood is just on my tunic maybe it'll be easier if I just clean that . . .

>Bangles seems unfamiliar with the concept of hygiene, she may need some guidance in this

check that pot, is it empty? if so then that is a good spot to store your stuff. it is metal and keeps it all in one spot. anyway, see those white things on the bench? those are soap.
what you do is take off all your stuff and get in the water with the brush and the soap. then rub the soap on a dirty spot until it makes a white foam, then scrub it with the brush. repeat that all over your body.
then rub the cloth next to the soaps on you to dry off. then that odd ridge thingy is to clean clothes. put it partly in the water and dunk your clothes, then scrub it on the ridges a bit and dunk it again. keep doing that until it's not bloody.

Take off your clothing and roll around in the water.

>>355670
A bath would a be better option, as you don't have any dry clothes to change into. I doubt going around with just a towel and your underwear, while your clothes dry, would do you any good.
You should probably just think of washing your clothes after you have bought new ones.

Jump in the tub naked and rub your self until there isn't any blood on you and you smell better.

After that throw your clothes in for a bit to soak off the blood. You only need those old rags long enough to get new ones so they only have to look clean, not actually be clean.

Step 1, remove all clothes get in the water, get the soap and with it wash you self thoroughly. Don't miss a spot! Soap is the little bars of soft white material if you don't know.

>>355669
Tsk, don't you know it's rude to throw kobolds at people?

>>355670
Also washboard in the corner for rubbing the clothes against. Running hairbrush through matted gnoll fur while they soak probably not worth the pain.

ugh. you sit in the tub and wet yourself by scooping up water with the bucket or whatever that is and pouring it over yourself. and then you use the soap.

Bangles:"argh! this is hard!"

Bangles: well they're all clean. but also they're wet! no I can't wear my new clean clothes. how am I supposed to carry all my stuff now?

Bangles is very hungry
>if the catalyst doesn't get food soon, she will start becoming fatigued.

Bangles: . . . so hungry

>>355802
This looks like the best time to call for assistance. Call out for either the innkeeper or for chicken.

Aww...

Well see how much a room + food costs. You and Kirska alike need some serious rest and it means you can wring out your clothes and leave them to dry overnight. Also see if you can get some trade done at the market before going to bed. If you can sell off some of those large knives and odd bits you've got then you might even afford some new clothes and stuff.

>>355802
Call for chicken!

>well they're all clean. but also they're wet!
>>354479
>Buy clothes first, so you have something clean to change into once you're washed up.
No one, ever listens to poor Zathras.

Call for the landlady and pay for a room for the night. Lug all your stuff up there until your clothes dry overnight; you're at least covered. Get Kirska to order room service; you're paying.

Eh, when he literally died for her he gets some leeway.

>>356017
True, but he's now paying for every bad pun or sexual joke he ever made. He's not even close to breaking even yet.

>>356023
Some of his jokes were lame or tasteless, but were they worse than being blown to goblin gibs?

Bangles calls for assistance

the innkeeper enters

Bangles: "can you help me get my clothes dry . . ."

Syggs: "sure can, but it will take a couple hours for them to dry proper."

Bangles: "but I need to carry my stuff now."

Syggs: "I recommend you buy a backpack! they're stylish and convenient!"

Bangles: " uh, how much does it cost?"

Syggs: "here at the Slmouldering Rock in I believe in the three for one system; Three services or purchases all for a single gold coin!"

Bangles: . . .

Syggs: "you've used my washroom, I'm going to be assisting you, and the bag would be a nice even three, get it?"

Sure, sounds like a deal.

>>356049
Might as well go along with it. No clue if Kirska would be enough to protect you from a town of ticked-off goblins if you tried to cheat or bully your way out of it. Especially with one of those goblins between you and ALL YOUR STUFF.

You don't have to make friends with them or anything. Just go along with things for now.

>>356049
Hand over two, order a meal. That'll leave a couple of service/purchase credits for a room/Kirska/the unforseen.

>>356123
This sounds like a good idea. We do need food, and maybe some other stuff.

>>356147
the one with the sleeping gobbo

Just sit at the empty table with your back towards the wall. Shout loudly for Kirska, then apologize quickly to those around you for the noise and start eating one of the meals.

Try to idly listen in on that conversation. It seems to be about thievery, which you excel at.

>>356147
The chair opposite you on the empty table. Swing it a bit 'round toward the wall if you can.

The table with the sleeping goblin. He seems competent, but also try to listening to the three goblins. Sounds like a possible quest there.

the empty one. you're new here, so you don't wanna get in trouble.

pull up a chair and sit with the three goblins

Sit at empty table, back to wall. The three gobbos are having a polite conversation and seem kinda rough, and the one by himself either wants to be by himself or is waiting on someone. Or he just fell asleep.
