>"Oh, Sir, that is an error on my part. I did not mean to insinuate this was literally a sleeping god, but simply that when he first walked this land, he never showed himself to be a god. It was not until his exile he apparently, one might metaphorically say, "awoke", to realize his godhood."

"Like butterflies in your stomach?"

Do you have anything that could possibly weaken or destroy a god? Otherwise, the plan would just be to kick its ass.

if lichee doesn't know, nobody's gonna.

tell ears his job is just to weaken his power. it's an earth god and he is an earth mage, he needs to try his hardest to make sure the rocks around the battle don't move.

"If it makes you feel better, I chose you to assist me for a reason. Certain forces forbid me from telling you just what that reason is, but I will say that you're... special. You and Kip both are. I have confidence that the two of you, at least, will come out of this alright."

>>351736
Oh fine we'll do research first. Party pooper. We need to go find as many books on the death of gods as we can get. Which could be as many as ONE!

>>351736
Well, I'm pretty sure gods stop moving if you impale, set them on fire, and punch 'em enough like with everything else. So that's a plan! Let's just get brutal.

Also we never found out what happened to Kradis. He seemed to have be disappeared'ed from the timeline after the dream. Chop didn't remember him.

>>351759
He's earth, so hit him with Water
"LEAVE FEN ALONE!"

charge! make walls of air to slow any attacks he makes and use blades of water. try to suck the energy out of him.

>>351759
did the god say that or did ears or kip?
Just saying, us advice souls can only tell you or the person we're with apart from other people. Not other people from other people. Usually it's easy with context but... well, context is floating around here in this group conversation.

Alright, he looks like a hydra. Let's not behead him. Maybe once to see if his biology acts like a hydra. I believe the weakness the earth is fire, usually. Sometimes it flips to wind, depending on the universe rules soooo fuck, fire it up. Then air it up if it doesn't help. But this one time I helped this guy slay an earth elemental in a desert filled with cat-people and salesmen and wizards spoke in bad puns. Fire was the only way to kill it to get past it's high defense.

just get him soaked with water and then freeze the whole thing.

use a splash attack!!!

Well, now, someone's gotten bigger since we last saw him. Also less lich-like. You know, with those eyes he actually looks a bit like Tom. Hey, Tom, what's his soul smell like?

Well all things have to start somewhere. He's obviously some sort of snake or hydra, so you could try to ride him and exploit his inability to attack you without greatly risking just hitting himself. I doubt you have a means to hurt him, but perhaps you could trick him into "eating his own tail."

>>351763
this is a good idea. water expands when it freezes so it pries any cracks its in open a bit wider. getting him wet and freeze him a few times should do something to him. its one of the most common forms of erosion so that might help since he's the embodiment of earth and all.

>>351759
Illusions everywhere, put Speed on Ears so he can dodge stuff, Giant Strength on Kip so he can wreck shit, and shapeshift yourself HUGE. Start pummeling him with uhh I dunno, anything. Water, then freeze it to break him apart.

Tom: Any thoughts on this guy's soul?

Never expected to be attacking a giant three-headed earth serpent.

Then Ears and I are pinned. If I cast any other spells on anyone, the water will stop, and the serpent will get through for a physical attack. I can't cast multiple spells of this magnitude at once, so we'll need a plan in order to get time to give speed, strength or shape shifting! Here's a reminder of what spells I have, at the top of my head.

-Elemental magic. All of the elements.
-Tom's spells (Open Lock, Shapeshifting and Increase Speed)
-Invisibility
-Increase Strength
-Illusions

Also, I can still use ability souls in an explosive burst out of Tom.

Okay guys, it's time to do what made Fen so awesome in combat. Kip, jump into the water and get ready to stab something. Chee, redirect a bit of the water to send Kip into one of the head's eyes.

Huh? Heard my name! Oh, man. That! I don't even think whatever that god has is what you could call a soul! If souls were eggs, this is the chicken. If a soul was a log, this is the house. You get the idea! I don't even know if I could eat that! Oh, do not think that that means I don't want to try. Because I do. Oh, how I do.

Either Explode Dragon Lich we've been saving for so long and we've never figured out what it did or try fire now.

Water slows it down, but what hurts it? I don't think illusions will work on this omnipotent of a foe.

>>351779
Kip isn't pinned. Ask if he's learned any new tricks since last we saw him, because that sword is a little small for chopping this guy up. Has he gotten any better at elemental magic? At any rate, if he can do anything right now that'd be cool. Maybe cut off a spike and throw it at the thing.

>>351786
The dragon lets us gain talents by merely having the advice souls inside someone when they perform some sort of magic. Or does it also work with skills? Besides, we don't really have a spare moment to use a Soul Explosion, unless Tom can do that while Chee is still channeling. In that case, we could burn a mage soul on this guy. See if you can pick one that would result in an ice explosion.

Heyyy... maybe you could send us to Kip momentarily for that sort of thing, if he has anything we don't know how to do?

>>351779
Can you cast a really quick spell that would freeze all that water before that thing can escape the wave?
If not, then try to trade volume for pressure. Make it a smaller but much more powerful stream of water. Powerful enough to erode rocks instantly.

LIFT THE GOD OFF THE GROUND

The earth god surely cannot do whatever it is he does if he's not on the earth.

I'm still with the theory that Dereego isn't really a god and is just using mad hax on the actual dreamer. Actually every god is probably like that. Why else would warboy stop mortals from approaching the sleeper?

>>351805
thats a good idea actually. angel the water so it lifts it off the ground if you can. if nothing else even a small fall would damage something of that size.

make a little surf board out of earth and have Kip ride it to the leviathan's head. heads. whatever, just get him in range in an awesome manner.

I haven't taken stock recently, but there's mage souls that will allow us a pretty good variety here. We have three powerful mage souls, one lich soul and the healer. We can shoot off a burst of just about any element."

Kip is still traveling up there, but Tom can follow Kip's attack with a burst. I think I'm lifting up the hydra as well, but it's hard to tell! There's so much water now. Should we use a soul, and if so, half or max power, and what element? Air and water would likely knock it around a whole lot, and fire might actually crack and damage it directly. I don't know about other elements!

what? no, sacrifice 50% of a soul to cast strength enhancement on Kip. or shapeshift, even, to make him huge and airborne.

It's true, it feels like there's an earthquake rumbling.

are the heads dead? if so then be ready to dodge out of the way of him coming out of the ground.

drop the aquamancy and join powers with Ears to squeeze him out of the earth in a painful way... make sure he comes out somewhere in Kip's range.

What? They're all casting a breath spell of some sort, but I have no idea what kind of magic that is! It's completely new! No element I've ever seen!

max power reflection spell!

focus entirely on aeromancy. blow a gust of wind upwards strong enough to throw the heads' aim off by a lot.

>>351974
New element? Maybe we can steal it. Are you powerful enough to send advice souls over then take them forcefully back after it casts? Or... something like that? Also, you have necromancy power- can you use any sort of soul-draining spell on this thing?

And yeah if you can just misdirect their aim we should be good. I wouldn't count on dodging since nobody has speed, and we don't have any way of knowing what would block or deflect that element. We don't have knowledge of any general magic shield do we?

Crap, the buggers a hydra type. Seal the stumps and try to keep him away from the earth somehow. As a god of Earth, his power is probably related to him being on the ground.

...have you tried using earth magic on the serpent itself? I mean, it's made out of earth so just... break it apart manually.

I dropped off the anti magic bubble back at the tower, and I don't know any shield or reflects that I'm confident can block whatever this is!

>Geomancy
His own body is where his source of magic is, so not even I have the amount of power to just take him apart manually.

>Aeromancy
It's difficult, but I might be able to block a direct hit like this. It's made of rock though, so it's not easily swayed like a twig.

>Send souls over/soul drain

Yeah... yeah! I can send souls over to someone, but I have to touch them if I don't know them at all!

"Ears, I'm focusing on air, send me up!"

"No!"

Well, okay, it is risky. But think of the rewards! If I can pull this off, I'll have his magic! I'll have all the magic!

Or, I can continue attempting to lift it up off the ground while Ears and Kip try and do damage.

Hey, Tom, how were you killed? Was it just physical damage, or did the paladins do something special to you?

We are NINJA. Also you can redirect your path all over the place via air, and have Kip distract him. You just need to touch him when he fires, that's it. Also, we can touch any part of him.

But seriously make sure Ears doesn't get hit by whatever it is. That's the first priority.

if you do this, Ears will die. defend him first, then you can get to learning his magic- no reward is worth letting your friends die.

goddammit what is Kip doing? he's supposed to be our tank! get him to slash this dude up- he needs to build some aggro. meanwhile, you and Ears go fly away and hide behind a mountain.

It was what the paladins claimed was 'holy' magic, whatever that means! But I'm no god, so there's no reason regular magic wouldn't work!

Oh, while I'm here, I may as well let you guys know your stock!

2 prepped mage souls, one delicious healer soul, one profound lich, and 1 wounded mage soul.

>Worry about ears

>>352008
Why launch yourself? Teleport onto him.

if you're sure Ears will be okay, do it.

If we can't teleport and keep his heads out of aim at the same time, wait for Kip to help with that.

trying to take his magic is a very risky move. however we just picked a fight with a god because it was getting in the way of our attempt to alter the past. its a little late to start worrying about this being risky. have ears launch you.

hmmm... we could do both. Ears can launch us and we can teleport reflexively if the god breathes at us.

Holy crap, it's using souls to boost its power! I don't recognize the other two heads. One looks like the birdlich, the other... I don't know.

Tell us what you know, Fen. Anything about this Earth God you can tell us would be useful. Does it have any weaknesses or limitations? Is there a central core that we can destroy?

tom, if you see his soul poke out grab hold of it and pull it out of the earth god.

FirstChee seems to have plagiarized our core ability from the earth god.

>>352075
Earth God, why are you doing this? Can you not see the suffering you are causing? Let those you have consumed go! We don't want to wake the dreaming god, but we will destroy you if we have to to make this stop! Your past self can see these events unfolding. If your past self spares Fen, you will survive this. Since you need bodies to recover your strength, why don't you just make a deal with the kobolds to protect the continent from invaders in exchange for all the corpses they can give you? Stop all this killing.

hit him with it! with a soul burst boost.

Chee, can you figure out how the earth god's time magic works? It seems to allow a soul to exist in all time periods simultaneously by using his body as a conduit. Maybe we can get it to work with your body to link us to the you in the past so she can kill the earth god before it eats Fen, while it's still weak.

>>352075
Personally, I think we should retreat to not do this half-assed like we are.

Yank out Fen, then kill the God.

Can we send souls to Fen in the same way we send them to other people?

Super charge Fen's soul in the past with speed, willpower, and strength with half of all full souls now
use lichee's time soul powers to do so, so track his damn soul timeline. I don't care if I'm making bullshit up, rip quantum necrosoulmancy a new one and make that bullshit possible

Okay, everyone! I want to use that new magic, but what is my goal about Fen? I have to rescue him somehow, either by yanking out his soul, or somehow getting the earth god to let Fen go! I'll make whatever we decide happen, somehow! Killing him outright might not be good for Fen, but I don't know.

If you still want to talk to Fen, I can pass on the messages!

>>352089
His body is a form that transcends time... it isn't a casted magic that I can just learn. I can't time travel so easily, I'm sorry! I might be able to do more if I had his soul.

But you know what? And this is a big but. I have a grasp on Fen's soul at his own present time. I think I can send souls to him in the past where he currently is at! I still need to save him before that does him any good, I can't send it to him before he went to the earth god.

>"Hey hey hey, Tom here again! I completely forgot we had Kragnar the paladin, too! That's another piece we can use for soul explosions, hah!"

No they won't, you're like the weird, creepy co-worker or student that's quiet all the time. You just weird the other gods out man. They'd be glad your creepy ass wouldn't be around anymore. I mean really, why would the other gods care about you at all, chump. You're just small time. You couldn't even get a date at the heavenly prom.

>>352104
I'm still up for imploding Fen with so power that the Earth God can't contain him anymore. Take Fen a level beyond ascension, you know? He's a hardy guy, he can take it. Make creepy earth guy go BOOM from the inside.

go for the longshot. send us to Fen! let's do this! BRING IT ON

>>352104
Send ability souls into the past AND pull him out. The combination of these two actions might ensure that his soul is pulled back to his zombie body in the past, and that would proooobably let us rally everyone to evacuate the continent. Which in turn would weaken the God of Earth here, and make killing him and stealing his soul easier.

earth god, you really don't understand people that well do you? we have a deal with a village exchanging protection for there dead. most people wold sacrifice there corpse to help there living friends. hell your a god, call it a holy burial right. if you work with us and let fen go we can probably come to an arrangement to get you alot of bodies.

What's going on?

Yup, looks like Mr God does have our ability, but rather than having Tom serve as our little storage area/buddy, it needs to make heads for them.

We are over feeding a GOD here people! This is bloody awesome!

wait no don't clear the area Fen punch the weird grey background your standing on. If you can break a sword with a pinky, a punch with some effort should shatter the space and time around you. Just punch everything Fen. Punch it all.

Man, yall out there can clear if you want. Tom, maybe nibble his soul a little bit. Just a little taste and savor the flavor. I figure a nibble will be like a regular sized soul anyway. Then send that nibble to Fen. Maybe more nibbles. You know, just surge more and more power to Fen by feeding him more and more of the god at a time. Just make the god unstable as possible so Fen can break out on his own.

>>352133
Struggle, Fen. Try to break out. Feel around you! Strike out at anything you can detect.

you're inside the god, Fen. but you don't have to be. you're stronger than him. break yourself out. it's time to see Lily.

We'll go back to Fen when he wakes up! Utill then and while he's working on his things, what should I be doing? I think Tom is going to try to eat the Earth God's soul, that cluster in the middle. And all the others, probably! That should be alright, right?

hell I don't know. it would help if we knew how the talent souls felt about this. hmmmmmm I wonder if we could create a virtual realty for them. sorta let em have a nice peaceful afterlife in exchange for there aid.

>>352308
That's uh. Yeah, that works. Wow. Chow down, dude. See if you can use wind/paladin magic to sorta gather them in one spot, keep them from drifting around.

>>352308
Man this is a mess of souls

I vote for him eating all the loose ones

He can eat the Earth God's soul, but let the other souls return to their time. I hope that's how it works.

Unless Tom can detect which souls were douchebags, of course. Then a little of hypocrisy is in order. God, I hope the earth god really was the creepy guy in the yearbook the other gods don't give a shit about.

Usually this is cause for a Roger Dangerfield character turn to the party and saying "Hey, everybody, we're all going to get laid!" but... well not everyone can have fun there. Still, let's throw a party. It's time we taught you how to down shots.

>>352312
This on all accounts.

>>352308
Chee, look at how happy he is. Do you really expect us to take that away from him?

>>352312
This, if it works like that.

I think having the earth god's soul is still a major LEVEL UP so it should be fine just sticking to that, right?

>>352308
I don't see why not. He's born for this purpose. Do warn Tom to be careful about overeating anyway. Hmm. Is there any way to tell if any of these souls are from the past? I know we operate independently of time altering shenanigans somehow, so... if we eat a soul now, that may interfere with their past fate.

It does make me feel bad to immediately imprison these souls after finally releasing them from the Earth God, but... it's for a good cause. We can use this power to defend ourselves from the other gods, and possibly kill more of them if they're big enough dicks. I don't think we should wipe them out tho. For instance, the God of War seems like a reasonable guy. He operates under specific rules that don't actually interfere in the lives of that many people as far as we can tell. It would be nice if he put up a sign or something in his shrines that explains what the aura involves though.

What should you do right now...? Well, find out more about how the new element you learned works. Test it out!

>>352316
To be clear, I am against Tom eating any souls that would result in repercussions in the past. I mean, we destroyed the Earth God to prevent the continent's ruination. If we eat all these souls and that re-kills everyone in the past then that's just not cool.

Tom should eat the god cluster first, then decide from that experience what we should do with the others. I mean, we're supposed to get some understanding of time magic from it, right?

>>352319
thats a good point. we should eat the gods soul first. some of those souls might be tied to the past, once we eat the god souls we will probably understand enough about it to know weather eating the other ones are safe.

Yeah, eat the big shiny first and then we'll see if we can find out if you can eat all the little shinies.

I can't claim to understand the time magic that was used to make me, not even Lich Chee understood it. Whatever it was, allowed all of you to alter the past, and allow me to remember any changes.

And now Tom has swallowed the earth god, and... I feel all tingly. It's a good tingle, too. With his soul, I'm able to keep all of my friend's memories intact from all of the time changing. It should be simpler to explain, with that. As for the other souls, their bodies are already dead. It's either get eaten by Tom, or go... wherever souls go when they die. It shouldn't be a problem to eat them, regardless of when they were eaten, they're in our time now.

The god is dead, and as far as I can tell, he's always been dead. Which begs the question, why would Fen have gone to the crags if Dereego was never around? The paintings, the box? All of those things shouldn't exist. We'll investigate that on Fen's side, when he wakes up. But, it might have something to do with...

>"Why does it feel like the ground is wobbly and everything looks... that?" Ears asks.
"That's probably us making a time paradox! Maybe even a dozen!"
>"Isn't that a problem?"
"Prooobably."

"Hey Tom, can you really fit that many souls in, if you eat them? It might be already to eat all of them, not just the god soul."
>"Hello Chee, I don't believe we've been formally introduced. They call me the devourer."

 

>>352327
Well, Tom...

we'll just UN paradox it from fen's side. just weave together the strands of fate.
it's most likely you chee. if the earth god didn't eat fen then you wouldn't exist to kill him in the first place. so yeah. need to make sure you still become you. the rest of the little paradoxes will go away.

also
tom: eat souls.

Looks like we've dumped history into a blender and pushed button 3.

Oh well, might as well do something productive while we wait for Fen.

Should we go investigate the fact that Kradis seems to be missing?

Oh and Chee, I don't suppose you can sense your parents?

>>352327
I think we might need to get out of here in a hurry. The time paradox might be localized to this continent which means we're in danger HERE but elsewhere is fine.

But y'know if Tom can grab the tastiest souls that'd be cool.

Alright, let's mass teleport somewhere safe... oh wait, we gave everything to Fen and have to heal. Cheese it!
Oh hey I got why Cheese's name is Cheese now.

We can assume that alcohol will affect you about as much as it would any other kobold. That construct body isn't half-assed. This probably isn't much of a risk to take though considering you were once a ball of hate and barely caused any damage.

Oh that reminds me. Since you can shapeshift now, can you rearrange yourself to have the proper anatomical correctness? Just asking if it's possible. You probably shouldn't until things calm down quite a lot more. Also you'd probably find it annoying to have to deal with the biological functions that come with that.

They're evil. They're stubborn. And I can obliterate them. The question is, what would be a best possible method for annihilating a camp of these guys?

Time freeze, obviously.

Why?

Because that way if you think of a better way later, you can still do it.

>>352345
1 and 3.

Remember! You became a powerful god-killing being to HELP people! Killing innocent people or making them homeless is the opposite of that!
WHAT WOULD FEN THINK?

Minecart riding? Completely ok.
Waterslide? Just put it on the outside of the tower.

Conquering a kingdom? That is utterly boring. The fun things about ruling a kingdom come from being powerful enough to do things, which you already can do.
Burning down an Elf tree? They live there! That's horrible! Tell Tom to stop being evil!
Genociding Orcs? That's beyond horrible!

I'd like to suggest an alternative: Become a real girl, then seduce Ears.

Obliterate them by sending in fuzzy animals. Way too many fuzzy animals. So many fuzzy animals. Just waves and waves of fuzzy animals.

The orcs shall fall to fuzziness eventually.

Oh, how about transforming them so they're not orcs anymore? Make a new race, something that's not completely worthless like orcs are.
It's genocide without killing anyone! I think it's called mass rehabilitation.

Wait hold on you guys, I'm pretty sure the dwarves want some of this booze first before they let me in to the mine shafts! The minecarts aren't going anywhere, but we are! I could use a little bit of alone time first. No offense, but you guys are, after all, around me for all my waking moments. Don't worry, I still like ya, it's just nice to have only myself in the mind every once in awhile, you know? Go party in the mind of one of the others for a bit! We'll go to the minecarts later!

Oh, hello everyone. I never did get a chance to properly thank you for helping Fen so long ago, but you have my greatest gratitude. What brings you to me, now?

it's about time someone helped you. isn't there anything you want?

We wanted to know what you're like when drunk!

chee decided to get drunk and have fun. this is kinda a bad time for it , but up until now she has had like 12 hours total that she wasn't frantically preparing for some big showdown. anyways she wants some time alone in her head and we wanted to check up on you so here we are.

>>352500
Glad to see you smiling, buddy. We wanted to hang out! Hey, you said us getting back in touch with you was the most interesting thing in decades. What was it that happened that was so interesting back then? Does helping kill a GOD rank higher?

Also, how does your immortality work exactly? Do you still feel pain?

File 131698641670.png - (6.02KB , 600x600 , 744.png )

What do I want? Hm... I don't remember ever being asked that. What I want... that's not even something I've asked myself. It sure is a difficult question.

I'm just a little... shaken, for lack of a better word. A couple hundred or so years of nothing, and then Cheelop, all grown up and powerful, comes to me, and of all things... within a few hours we're fighting a god beast, and now I've been whisked over more land than I've ever seen before, seeing life and... well, this! I'm sorry, I'm still wrapping my head around it. I would admit that I have occasionally wondered if I'm still sitting in my cave, and finally went insane.

As for getting drunk... well, that's been a very long time since that's happened, too. I'm not quite sure what one is supposed to do, getting intoxicated.

>>352511
A few decades ago, I found a flower. It sprang up in the otherwise barren region. I wondered if it would spread, but it died, and life went back to normal. Yes, killing a god did end up being a more interesting thing, I dare say. Continuing on, I do feel pain, yes, but as a Dragon Knight I learned to ignore it. Otherwise, all wounds have healed up quickly no matter how mortal, though I have never been decapitated. I don't need to eat or drink, but I do get hungry. Not starving, just hungry, then it stops. Regardless, it seems like the war god gave me immortality, then forgot about me.

>>352507
Yes, this is a bad time, but from what little scraps I've picked up, Chee hasn't had the time to rest. Maybe she's looking for any excuse to just let the ball drop once, even as the world is getting ripped. Perhaps I should take up the slack for her? She has saved Fen in the past, so I owe her much. Do dwarves have gods? Perhaps I can look into this matter.

sure, why not, if that's what you feel like doing.

>>352514
I think it's likely dwarves follow some sort of religion. If you're up for investigating the time crisis, then I'm sure we can count on you.

Though if the angle you're looking for is to get information on gods, there's a more direct way we can do it... but that would also get you in trouble with the gods.

Yes, now is not the time to get mopey! I'll extend a hand to Cheelop so that she may have her fun! I will finish this drink, then let us begin!

>>352531
Sir, at the risk of sounding as though I have become cocky over our last victory, I do not fear such bold maneuvers! If it truly is out of the question, then perhaps a more moderate approach will be better, but I am truly out of my element in this tavern.

>>352514
We have to fix this paradox crap, but in order to do that we'll have to help Fen set things right back in that time.
You can't do much of anything to help fix this problem at the moment, but you've already done so much more than your share getting to this point.

If you want to look into dwarven gods or something we won't stop you, but first you should take a moment to realize that there's hope for the past.

Oh, and I doubt the war god would let you slip into insanity to escape his punishment. You probably can't even get drunk.

>>352534
Well, you know how Fen drank two of those anti-illusion potions? That allowed him to project himself into a sort of background reality where we met the God of War, who would've killed Fen for discovering the secret behind reality that I won't tell you now, if it weren't for the fact that he was blessed by the God of War, and said god does not directly kill those who he blessed. So I'm worried that you will get killed by him.

For a man like you Kip, you are definitely gonna need more than that one glass. Go drink more, then have the sudden realization that the most impressive and respectful thing you could do for the war god is to challenge THE WAR GOD HIMSELF TO A DUEL AND FUCK HIS OMNIPOTENT SHIT UP.

>>352547
We need to find that spellbook then if we want to double-dose our way outside of the universe.

>>352606

While using your shirt as a blindfold and your mug as a helmet.

...Do iiiiiiiiiiiit. OwO

Guys.
The rifts lead to the gods' world, where it's all shown as black with white lines.

The dream world is literally coming apart at the seams.

>>352607
The spellbook probably doesn't exist anymore since Dereego doesn't exist anymore. Chee probably remembers how to make it from Fen's memory though.

It's only torn. We have at least a week before the damage spreads. What we need is a giant... space needle! Space needle.

>>352639
Alright. We're going to need a large, pointed monument, and the world's longest electrical cord!

I have half a mind now to challenge the god of war! Except in his case, he may be able to retract my immortality upon fighting him, as I do feel he truly has forgotten about me. It would be silly to give myself a pointless death. In any case, I do not have the recipe, and I would prefer not to bug Chee about it. I will keep this in mind.

Ah, but I do know where she is, at least generally. The celebratory halls here seem to be divided between the proper party hall, where things sound rowdy and excitable, and this tavern, where one could actually hold a conversation. Chee would be in the louder area, of course. Regardless, I cannot bring myself to tell a flat lie, even drunk.

Haha remember how I said I feel pain? Not anymore, Chee's booze is sincerely strong!

Hmmm, the patrons don't seem to respect Paladins all that much.


Perhaps we can stir an all out drunken brawl and get away in the confusion?

taunt him a little more. hopefully a brawl will occur and you'll be able to slip away and go warn Chee in the meantime.

it's nice to see you smile.

Or maybe we should, y'know, give the paladin the full story so we can get his help fixing the time paradox problem.

I mean, I doubt he'll be too upset that we killed a god that was responsible for infesting the eastern continent.

You have to go get in that fight, there's an innocent cat to save from harm!

Warn Chee then come back for the fight.

We could jump to someone else and have them warn Chee.

Who is Chee? But I can't hold a quill or anything but I do have claws, so I can scratch words! And yes, I know where my body is! It's in the magicians lab! I've been trying to counteract it for so long, but.. cat paws! Plus, there's a missing ingredient. I have to dip a rabbit's ear in the final solvent before drinking it! Do you guys know where I could get one? The dwarves don't keep rabbits around!

you are in luck. we brought a rabbit with us. and chee is the kobold talking to the bear that was holding you.

holy shit you actually went along with it
>>352808
We have a rabbit construct friend called Ears that could dip his ears in the solvent if dipping them doesn't hurt.

Or Chee could shapeshift some random rabbit ears for you if they do hurt. Shapeshift any old thing really. Chee's the kobold the bear carrying you is with. Clone/Duplicate Construct of the legendary lich slayer Chee from like around a century ago, give or take a decade.

>>352809
Does it have to be an actual rabbit or will a rabbit-like pers- you know what I don't care. We'll find out if it works for Science! Also because we don't know where to find a normal rabbit. Now the only question is where to find him. He doesn't seem like the partying type, but on the other hand there's a bar fight going on in the other room. Well, find a good vantage point and look around, he shouldn't be that hard to spot.

lie on your back and show him your belly.

He's weak-willed. Start making gestures to follow you and he should do so once you get the point across. Even if he wasn't weak-willed, you're a cat now. Lesser creatures such as rabbits and dwarves and kobolds exist to serve you.

Use recognizable gestures after a friendly greeting such as rubbing against him. Then look at him in the face, meow, walk in your body's direction, look back to him and meow again then continue.

If he doesn't follow come back and irritate him with meows and paw at him until he gets up then push the back his leg with your forehead towards your body.

be all cute and shit. I dunno how it works. I'm not a cat person.

Okay here's the potion area none of the guards or mages paid attention to us which is totally weird but who cares. How do I give him directions? Especially the part about how he has to dip his ear in the solvent?

>>352823
Interpretive dance. Also, show him your body.

Hop up near solvent, rub ear with paw, then point paw towards solvent. Maybe make a dipping motion.

By the way, how did you learn what you needed for the solvent and such? Did you read it from a book? You can also direct him towards that book or go near your body and play charades that your trapped in a cat body.

OH MY GOD nevermind someone made Ear's ears into cat ears! They're shorter and pointier now nooooooo.

is the solvent around? alternatively, is the recipe around?
