I'm just going to chill on the floor here and let everyone else deal with the clean up. All the crazies sound like they've calmed down now that there's no music, so we're probably okay now.

Galaf enters through the hole where the door used to be to survey the damage. He's taking it well, so far.

"Oh Mr. Wizard man, these mean little kobolds are crazy and want to kidnap me to do gods know what."

"BITCH, I WILL CUT YOU!"

Galaf seems unphased. "The authorities will be here soon to pick up our unwanted guest, but did you really need to take her clothes?"

ANYWAY, now that that's over we can focus on what to do next, because as much as I love laying here sampling the delicate flavors of the tile work, I have more important things to do. Like not being killed by the next weirdo with superpowers that comes along.

well, point towards something you don't care about blowing up. then hold gem to mouth. shoot magic dragon fire at gem
???????
profit.

Expalin that the organization she belongs to likes using magical artifacts. You had to strip her ot make sure she had access to nothing.

Though in all likelihood it was only the flute.

>>498569
>but did you really need to take her clothes?

Lemme think about this quest's genitalia quota...

Yes.

...I don't suppose I get some kind of reward for saving you guys from magic crazy person music you didn't think to ward your school against?

Well after you make sure you've got everything I say find someplace to hold up for the night and just sleep on it for now. After all its kinda hard to think when you feel like someone just dropped a building on you so save the "what next" stuff for the morning

Yes. We don't take chances with people that tried to kill us.

Thodren still hasn't gotten a chance to get revenge. What is he saying on the situation? He'd be angry if we gave Catbitch away without asking him.

Considering she works for an organization that collects large numbers of magical artifacts, it seemed prudent to take everything off of her in case any of it was a magic item. Cutting her clothes off was just the quickest way, and the choice to do so was in no way influenced by the crap she put us all through.

Peel yourself off the floor and hand the crystal over to Galaf, asking him if it looks like anything that'd be worth going through all this effort to get. And if it does, could he confirm if it actually is special and not a mere mana battery. 'Cause you'd rather not have the shit beaten out of you over something from a wizard's junk drawer.

clothes stealing was essential, who knows what she was hiding in there.

escort this kitty to prison yourself, you were too careless with the gnoll bitch and look what happened

Apparently the magic thing is pretty magical, but given the circumstances they don't want me leaving it there anymore. They'll go off what they have and let me know if anything comes up. I'm just going to gather up my stuff and fall into bed. Good thing Thodren was the only strong guy around to be berserked. Now that I think about it, the mage's school is pretty much the worst place to use an ability that makes everyone fly into a rage and thrash everything . They can't use magic properly because their brains are all scrambled and they can't do much damage otherwise because they're weedy little wizards.
Works out fine for me, I guess. We caught her without a huge amount of problems. Cat-ti... I mena, Shera Inekin, is wanted all over the place for all kinds of illegal crap. Even had a pretty big bounty, but that all disappeared to fix the academy. If I could have only thought of a way to keep it without looking like a huge creep, I could buy some shiny new weapon to replace my scrap iron chunk of crap without having to dip into my own pockets... It doesn't really change the fact I need something better for whooping on more powerful crazies.

>escort this kitty to prison yourself, you were too careless with the gnoll bitch and look what happened
But the gnoll was only jailed for being a nuisance and kitty has all kinds of assault and property damage charges. She'll actually be kept for more than a day.

>hold gem to mouth. shoot magic dragon fire at gem
What is that even trying to accomplish? Besides burning the thing up, destabilizing it and exploding my own head or something nasty like that.

>genitalia quota
So hopeless.

it's MAGIC. add magic fire to magic and crazy shit should happen.

well, your fire breath is magic, and it's magic. Maybe you could eat and use it as a power source for super uber fire breath.

>>498687
Why not just have fluffy here see about turn it into a necklace or choker then with the gem in it then to test that out?

>>498687
I think you're right about not doing crazy experiments with the crystal.

Hey, why don't you just grind down the edge of that thing and make a blade out of the end of the shaft? It would be shorter than it used to be, but you'd still have a weapon.

>If I could have only thought of a way to keep it without looking like a huge creep
What, the magic school didn't have insurance to cover the damages? They train power mad idiots to make things explode with their minds, and they hoard powerful artifacts they are usually really old and of unknown stability. You'd think they'd be covered for attempts at magical theft, hostile magics, basic property damage, heroic collateral damage, etc.

>Weapon
The lack of a pointy bit is disappointing, but with your strength, a big metal stick is still plenty to whoop-ass with.

What you really need is some items that give you warding or protection from magic bullshit so you can safely beat the crap out of the next cheating shit to come after you.

Well you could melt the tip of your staff a bit and turn it into a spear if you want a weapon with a little more punch to it but won't cost you to much.
And speaking about Thodren hows he doing? the last we saw of him was when you got into a fist fight with the lug.

>>498687
considering what happened to the last one, maybe a nice, ordinary, double-edged sword is a good idea.

More cutting area = Less likely to be grabbed by douchebag fighter/mages.

>>498687
Rynh, your chest is showing~

So much for being forged outta dragon breath. How do you feel about redundancy? You could make a bunch of metal stakes for close combat, granted you'll have to get closer to strike but at least you won't be unarmed when some douchebag wizard casts bullshit on your weapon.

>>498794

I think instead of filing down a pointed metal stick, I'll go to a real smith and get something there. Just deciding the race of the smith in the first place could make a big difference.

Dwarves are big on heavy, sturdy and artistic pieces. I don't know if they actually like large weapons or if it just gives them more room to engrave things on.

Humans make everything at the "normal" size and shape. Everything is pretty utilitarian and they occasionally throw out a magical piece every once in a while.

Kobolds don't really have a lot of smithing technique. There's a focus on just pounding out as many things as possible as quickly as possible, but the actual metal quality is always good.

Elves focus on magic. Probably to keep their curvy butter knives from shattering on impact. Everything is very light, very fancy and very expensive.

Gnomes are just aren't any good. Kobolds and gnomes don't like each other. Our gods don't like each other. It's an amazing achievement that we don't kill each other in the streets anymore. Look, I just don't think gnomish weapons would fit my personal style of... Gnomes are jerks, okay?

>>498957
Why are you even listing gnomes as an option then?

Go for a dwarven weapon. It should make good use of your strength.

Get a big well-balanced dwarven glaive. Like a sword onna stick.

Practical, utilitarian human gear sounds like the best bet. Unless you really want to exploit your dragon heritage and go for a big-ass heavy dwarf weapon.

Might be worth stopping by the kobold shop too for smaller backup stuff.

Elves and gnomes don't see worth the bother.

dorf dammit

depends on how much money you want to spend. If you don't want to spend much go with the human or Kobolt blacksmith for a main weapon and maybe see if you can get some kind of backup weapon encase some dick weed brakes your weapon again or if you don't mind braking the bank a little go for the dwarven weapons but still get some kind of side arm just encase something happens to you main weapon.
Eleven weapons seem more like finesse style fighting and you seem more of a straight up fighter so I don't think it's worth it to buy a really expensive weapon only to find out it doesn't work well with your fighting style. And if you hate gnomes so much way did you even bring them up. what are there weapons like anyway.

>>498916

RYNH HAS TITS! REMEMBER? SHE GREW THEM!

IT'S AN IMPOSTOR! OR SOMEONE STOLE HER TITS!

>>498957
There seems to be a negative trend for 'normal' weapons when put in your hands. Clearly you need something more durable. Go Dwarf.

.. But get a Kobold shiv for emergencies. There are very very few situations where having an extra knife is a disadvantage.

.. oh god what if this cult is being run by Gnomes and that's why they didn't try and recruit you?

Right, I say >>498971 sounds best.

>>498970
They're magic tits. She can make them appear or disappear at will.
We've gone over this.

>>498973
Is this compatable with the magic gem we have that stores energy? Tit energy?

>>498957

Dorf. Obviously dorf.

Dorf is best weapon. Also best ale. Besides, if it's big, solid, and big, well... it's perfect for you.

>>498971
This, and make it two shivs if you have the budget for it.

Make sure your dorf weapon menaces with ☼spikes☼.

Human. You don't need fancy crap.

Go for a masterpiece of dorfen smithery! Sounds perfect for you.

The magic tits were before the reboot guys. Stop being so meta!

I'd recommend the dorf weaponsmith. "normal" weapons apparently can't take your strength. The elven stuff looks nice but all that magic can be detected easily by security that knows WTF it's doing.

Screw not being meta, lets be MORE meta!

That gem is a mana battery, and since there's a cult after it's some kind of uber god power mana battery. You don't know it but your magic heritage offers you uber innate magic powers! Figure out how to use the gem and you can be an uber-demiurge unstoppable by anyone!

>>498957
Find a dwarf and an elf and shove them in a room together and get magic dworfaxe

>>499184

I'll go with a dwarven smith. I tend to go for the heavy crap, so they might keep up with that the best.

It's not too hard to find one, since the city is huge, there was bound to be dwarves selling somewhere.

"Welcome, customers. I ain't even gonna mind that you're 'bolds. Just remember I know were everything was when ye came in. Now what can I do for you?"

Greatsword?

we've been facing lots of agile fighters lately. Got anything for that?

Longsword is always a solid choice

>>499397
if you can only get one thing, get what you're best with.
.. which i would assume to be big straight swords for hacking shit up, from your initial weapon.

Be sure to tell the smith that it has to be able to stand up to hacking into monsters made out of stone.

But most of all: make sure the other two don't steal anything, even if you have to shop with them in mirrored headlocks.

Whatever you can freakin' wield and afford!

>>499406
Multiple weapons? This man has the right idea.

>>499408
Why settle for a single blade when you can have a situational repertoire?

No no, getting extra concealable smaller backup or holdout weapons is what the kobold shop is for. The dorf is for getting something big and smashy. And singular.

I think you'd do better with something that has a cutting edge. Maybe a bastard sword? (The optional handedness seems kind of fitting for your haphazard fighting style). Or if you wanted to stick to polearms, we could get a nice bardiche.

Make sure whatever you get is flame resistant, and see if the runes and shit they put on things can protect your gear from being cut in half by cheating teleporters who don't stick around to fight fair.

We should totally get the Mana Battery inset whatever we buy to fuck with the guys after it.

>>499397

One big crazy cleaving thing, especially one that can take a hell of a beating.

Are polearms your thing?
Get a meaty halberd.

"I had a huge sword on a stick, but some magical bastard cut through the stick. I need a sword on a stick where the stick is also a sword".

If you want to stick to polearms get a glaive

if you want a sword get a bastard sword

if you want something else get yourself a fucking warhammer.

Also are you going to get a sidearm or backup weapon here as well or are you just going to wait until you find a human or kobolt smith for your second weapon?

Glaive or halberd

Honestly Rynh you're kind of a blunt weapon to begin with, so any weapon you use should be tough, heavy, and ultimately disposable. Any sword you use doesn't need much of an edge, because you'll just ruin it anyway, so my vote is for some kind of buster sword-like huge cleaver. If chopping up rocks will ruin it, then you don't want it.

Why get a glaive when you could get a glaive-glaive-glaive-guisarme-glaive?

Giant swords take some time, since they're kind of a special order item. In the meanwhile, I head to a kobold smith for a sidearm.

"This one isn't even that bad."
>"What do you mean not bad?"
"It's just not 'traditional' style."
>"That's a perfectly traditional two-handed sword. It just has a bit more polish on it. You think kobolds can't work metal? That's the best steel you'll find anywhere."
"No, it's good. I'll take it."

This will be pretty good for a knife. If any other crazy bastards mess with me today, I'm just going to stab them with it. Seriously.

>>499617
Make sure it's edged for stabbing.

Huh looks like a machete, could just be the angle. Good for close in work which will suit you well as a backup when a giant swords won't do.

All right, you are now once again armed and dangerous. What's next?

Get a dagger too.

>>499630

Don't you mean long-sword?

Well we don't want to go around stabbing EVERYBODY with it, we might stain the polish. just cut deeply.

not bad, not bad at all. so we now have a backup knife/short sword with our other weapon on the way, so what do we do till that one is done

Now we can do... Something. Since magic lessons aren't in the schedule, I pick up a copy of 'Low Level Magic for Simpletons' instead.
Now I'm not sure what to do. Weirdos will probably keep trying for the rock. Hopefully not to frequently, that could get annoying.

Transitional pattern divergence via mental transfiguration. Haha... what?

Fuck it. Just try to throw fireballs from will alone.

I'll translate it for you.
"Your brain ripping apart a pattern."

Although it may translate to
"Your brain ripping apart a pattern while moving from one point to another."
I consider this one much less likely.

So, apparently this works by drawing in energy, mushing into shape with your brain, then shooting it out to make things happen. Incantations work by making you think the words which makes everything move down the right channels for that particular spell, yadda yadda...
It sounds so simple, but I have no idea how to actually do it.

After a light meal, we're good to go do whatever it is we're doing. I can't really decide what to do, cuz' no matter what I do, I'm probably gonna have those dicks chasing me. It's kind of a big hassle. I can't really sell the damn thing and I don't know what it's good for.

I guess I'll worry about it after I'm done eating.

Fight for it while Jehral takes it and eats it.

Assert dominance, grab hold of this horns and headbutt him into submission.

Sharing is caring! Test your new sidearm on the ham and cut it in half.

Well Kino said: "the cult have a lot of higher ups in Arkram'sul." So maybe we should head for that place?
Or we could go have a chat with the town guard/sheriff/police guys about the cults presence in this town, or try to interrogate that kitty.

Might be relevant, later. The crystal is just a battery full of magic energy, right?

What do you think happens if you just dump a bunch of that energy into someone instead of drawing it out of nowhere, slowly and carefully?

What's that stupid name he called you? That's not your name. Unless he's introducing himself- but anyone who just walks up and says their name without any kind of context or sentence to support it is a total tool.

LeiRYNHa Ganjeel. I suspect that's her full name and he's trying to intimidate her by dropping dox.

Call him a newfag and breathe fire at him.

I've got a funny feeling about the way he's introducing himself. Without pausing in the scuffle for that big meat of Thodren's, demand of this new person, "Does that mean you're on my side or theirs?!" Later take a moment to find out how in the name of various and sundry gods he knows your full name.

"If you're here for a fight you'll have to wait in line."

Kobolds have last names?
