I am Trixy, the luscious goddess of magic. I was born thousands of years ago from the sea foam, as the severed ballsack of an ancient sky goddess fell to the ocean, during a great fight with her son Titus~

Eadoo - that's a lie.

Trixy - you're right, it is~

Eadoo - why do you lie?

Trixy - It's fun

She's Eadoo's future self who went back in time and became the king of magic through shenanigans. Then she got enslaved to the blade. Now stop bickering.

Trixy - In truth, I was raised from an egg by a great wizard by the name of Guize. Noticing my white body he saw wild destiny in me and raised me as his own, teaching me the arts of magic. By the age of seven I grew so powerful that the magistrates of the Elysian Academy of Science and Magical Studies, offered me a position as a teacher. How ever I declined their offer and left the E.A.S.M.S. Leaving behind fame, fortune and power in search of Gatling, my one true love~

Eadoo - Now see, I don't believe you.

Trixy - why not?

Eadoo - because you lied to me and laughed at me.

Trixy - Hehee, but this is the truth.

Eadoo - and I'm so gullible that I'd believe you?

Trixy - look, here's how you know I'm telling the truth, I can't lie...

Eadoo - you lied twice!

Trixy - yeah, but I came clean after... when I was young, the magistrate cursed me in such a way that I'm compelled to reveal my lies after telling them.

Eadoo - Now that it a lie!

Trixy - No it's true!

Eadoo - so you're telling me that you left everything behind, because you love Gatling?

Trixy - Yup~ I would live and die for my master Gatling, He's more than anything and everything to me. *giggle* We're fiances now and one day we'll get married~

>Eadoo looks perplexed

Eadoo - How, what? how does that even work?

Trixy - We're not sure yet, but we're working on it~

Eadoo - *Gatling, is this girl for real? where did you pick up this nutcase?*

>Gatling, is this girl for real?
Nope. All lies. Never seen her before in my life.

Trixy is a good friend of ours from a past life.

She has gone through a lot and spent many years trapped in a horrible place. She might be a bit abrasive at times but she has a good heart. And she is a powerful mage so a bit of arrogance is allowed.

That being said if she acts up to much let us know and we will "discipline" her for you.

And Trixy you be nice. We are all in the same boat here so keep your teasing friendly. First impressions are important so hold yourself to a high standard until everyone gets to know you.

While we do have some past history we can not remember it. Its a sad state of affairs.

That being said if she wants our love she needs to work for it. You have to get to know someone before you can fall in love with them.

As for telling the truth feel free to lie if need be but tell only the truth to us and Eadoo please.

She is the monster we quested to kill, we should tell the elf that she won't be botheringmerchants anymore. Also that we have her precious cargo. If memory serves, we should question why she wants it.

...Okay...seriously...can you just...

You have stuff to do can you start doing stuff that doesn't involve blatant lies and constant distraction?

Practice some skills or something?

Be aware, Eadoo, the she has a huge superiority complex, as well as an intensely submissive relationship with us in particular. She's going to be extra snide and rude with you because she's jealous of the attention we give you.

Let her know her place here, we'll back you up if she becomes unruly.

>>607010
Yea, she's crazy, but THIS story seems to be more or less the truth.
Also, she's much more sane than she was when you first saw her. Progress!

>Ean nods and Concu leads him into a inner room. where upon he gives her the idol.

Ean - You do realize the perils of having that in a town like this right, Why do you want it so much?

Concu - I have my reasons~ But I'd rather keep them to myself, I simply don't trust you enough to share why. what with the perils~

Ean - *grumble* fair enough... when can we see our pay?

Concu - oh, yes. Go see Amanda, she'll pay you.

Before we start another quest we should inspect our loot more closely

Also recap who's in the team

>do try to sell them in town
This is a really good idea because we need the funds for quests and we can talk to the blacksmith about his need for star metal while doing it

Weren't we supposed to tell the busty orc our exploits after beating trixy so we can recruit her son?

Yulfa - That was rather fast.

Eadoo - We don't stand around with our thumbs up our arses when things need doing. We take action! and this was long overdo.

Yulfa - Fair enough. So you killed the creature?

Eadoo - Beat it to a pummel and finished it off with friendship and diplomacy.

>Yulfa looks curiously at Eadoo.

Yulfa - Have you now?

Eadoo - Indeed~! Now, may we accept your sons aid in extracting your husbands vengeance?

Yulfa - I'm not entirely convinced I can trust you. You are clearly kinda and true, but are you strong?

Eadoo - we defeated a monster not twenty minutes ago.

Yulfa - I wasn't there, maybe it was a push over~

Eadoo - *sigh* fine. How can I prove to you that we are reliable?

>_ _ _

Usualy not my policy to beat up patrons, but if you insist

What are the rules? First fall? First blood? First one forced out of the yard? Super Clothing-damage fun?

Perhaps Shenzi? Might be fun for her to wrestle someone close to her own size, even if it isn't very princess-like.

Ask about the rules.
I think Shenzi might be the best for this.

>>611059
Yep. though we should ask what kinda fighting this is...Like, wrestling? just a straight up fight...
>>610936

>Long ago in a distant land... I, Trixy, The shape shifting mistress of magic... Unleashed an unspeakable evil!! But, a foolish paladin warrior, wielding a magic sword, stepped forth to oppose me...

Again with the reading of my mind, Stalker Flynn!
>Perhaps Shenzi? Might be fun for her to wrestle someone close to her own size, even if it isn't very princess-like.
While you aren't a strong fighter yourself, that doesn't mean the group is weak. Can we bring Shenzi in, or will it have to be Eadoo? If she says it has to be you, Eadoo, then, well, go ahead and accept. I'd be quite surprised if you won against a woman of such obvious strength, but I doubt her requirement is that you beat her, and instead that you show just how strong you are.

>_ _ _

You have to get her off of you. If you stay in this position she is free to wail on you.

She is kneeling above you so is not braced that well. If you can shove or push her backwards she should fall off of you.

Also her leg is in easy reach so you could grab that and shove upwards. If you quickly rolled upright afterwards would get you in a better position.

Maybe you can use your free hand to put a thumb to the eye or something as you use you legs to try and get her off you.

Holy crap, she's strong.

Shenzi pushes her opponent upwards, knocking her off balance and quickly mounts her trying to keep her pinned.

Shen - Yay! Now I'm on top!

Yulfa - Eerg get off me, You bloody dog!

Shen - Hahaha fun!

Push her leg into a submission hold

Ok from this position you have your feet under you so I would pick her up just as you have her and then slam her down on the ground with your weight behind it.

Should stun her for a moment and you can smack her around a bit while she is out of it.

>>613782
Well, you could lift her up and throw her front or back in a fisherman suplex but the you don't really have neck control and bringing her up into a vertical base is dumb so we'll nix that idea.

Or you could flip forward while holding onto the knee into a bridge and pin her, but I don't think pinning is a victory condition.

So I recommend hooking a leg into our opponent ankle (not the leg you're holding, the other one) and use it to help you turn her face down. And then, you can apply an ankle lock, heel hook or any other submission move you like.

Try not to get a hardon. That'd be awkward in this position.

>>613818
This seems correct.

Snap her into a slimjim Ohh yeah!

Orcus. Our goal is to be just and fair, having the God of Justice on our side will certainly be helpful. As for the death side, well, carrying over the dead to the afterlife is important, too.

Orcus seems like a good choice given our particular MO.

>>617512
Orcus seems most appropriate.

>>617516
I think this guy has the right idea
have him worship us the great and benevolent gatling as a god.
might get other villager to start worship us too

We shouldn't choose a diety for him. I mean, you can't just force devotion in a concept he doesn't even belives in. Better to evaluate whats his personality. Apart from that: Orcus, we don't need Godhood.

>>617706
There's already a god-king of mankind, so why not become a god-king ourselves?

Eadoo - Orcus shall be your god. Is that okay?

Pipo - Wow... I didn't know you guys rolled that way. You don't seem like the death and destruction type. But hey more power to yah... I know a few humans who should die~

Eadoo - Eum...

Pipo - Okay then, I'll go try to find out as much as possible about our god of absolute judgment. If ever you need me, you know where to find me.

Eadoo - I hope we did the right thing...

>Something short or proceed to the biochemist

something short!

Maybe we should of researched more about that god. But let's go to the chemist.

Hey, if all else fails, we at least have an executioner on our side.

He's going to be our battle priest of justice! Like Batman but with god magic!

>>618486

Er Justice? Orcus is more akin to "Sauron" then "Batman".

Welp, at least he'll be really good in martial matters and destruction magics.

Aiden - Relax Madam~ He is a representative to potential friends of mine. He is only here but to observe my process~

Miss Gorister - He smells like a wet hound! I don't want him in.

Aiden - He is a guest in your home~ If his smell is distasteful to you, then draw him a hot bath and offer him perfumes~

>The misses grits her teeth and begrudgingly storms off to another room.

Sorry for putting you in this situation Bacon, have some tea and we'll try to suss out if he can be trusted. Also use tea time to identify escape routes/emergancy exits.

Bacon - Hard to say right now, they sent me here to find out exactly what your skills are and if they'd be useful for our plans.

Aiden - I see... But what is the over arching plan?

Bacon - Well, Eadoo is going to make an empire, were we monsters can live among normals. have a good life and not be... well monsters...

Aiden - A noble goal~ Of course you'll have opposition... Mmnn this tea is fine~ The Warden's family have so much pleasantries~ Being the ones in charge does have their benefits... And I doubt they'll be letting go anytime soon...

Bacon - *gulp* So... what are your skills... as a chemist...

Aiden - I create... Life~ *giggles*

Bacon - You make what?

Aiden - I grow little monsters, in bottles and tubes. They have specific purposes and can be tailor made to do, just, About, anything~

Bacon - *this guy is creeping me out*

Aiden - Some folks think it unethical... Ungodly and Simply wrong... To create life... to play god~ But there's a little girl in the next room over who needs an organ transplanted... Would god simply let her die~? ...Of course he would... But allas... What do you think of this? Would you master disapprove of my methods?

>_ _ _

well the [spoilers] part was supposed to be [small] and I can't remember my password to delete it. Not sure how that happened. so ignore it...

Sound pretty taboo, but usefull. Not sure about him just yet though, so go see the operation.

We have nothing against creating life to suit ones purposes. People have been domesticating animals for centuries. And that process is just slowly taking something wild and turning it into something you can use.

What we are concerned about is the how more than the why. Do not want to end up fighting off a pitchfork wielding mob because who works for us is kidnapping villagers and turning them inside out.

So ask him how he makes his little monsters and ask if you could see his operation if its not to much of a bother.

>>618763
sounds like what he does is akin to herbalism.. butt the medicine is just squirmier.

>I grow little monsters, in bottles and tubes. They have specific purposes and can be tailor made to do, just, About, anything~
Wow, okay, that's actually pretty cool. I thought he mutated living people or something. I gotta say, I like this guy already!
>Some folks think it unethical... Ungodly and Simply wrong... To create life... to play god~
To "Play god?" People have bred dogs to suit specific tasks, and plants to make delicious and nutritious foods. Playing "God" is fine and dandy, just so long as he doesn't play the devil.
>But there's a little girl in the next room over who needs an organ transplanted... Would god simply let her die~?
"The gods watch over, and leave us to our devices." If we have the power to save people, then why shouldn't we?
>What do you think of this? Would you master disapprove of my methods?
We're only the Master's Advisor, but I gotta say, this guy is good in my book. Making golems, tailoring plants, animal husbandry; what's wrong with taking the extra step? There are just two questions I've got now:
1. Are they ever sentient or sapient?
2. Is he willing to take responsibility if his experiments go wrong?
The first one won't have any direct impact, but I do hope he's not forcing the sapient ones into slavery. Willing servants and pets are fine, but not slaves. As for the second one, I'd certainly hope things don't go wrong, but you never know when a spell gets flubbed. I doubt he would directly say no, but if he's got an ego that says he'll never mess up, then we'll just have to look into keeping things that way, should we recruit him.
>so go see the operation.
Eh... Think you can handle it, Bacon? I know Shenzi has... A rather strong phobia in the matter, though whether it was something she experienced as a child, or something we accidentally caused, I don't know.

Bacon - I have to ask, on behalf of my masters. The creatures you're making... are they made of... people?

Aiden - What? Oh! ahahaa oh heavens no~ Well not quite "people" in a sense... take for example the little devil I made for Suzy over there is made out of a human fetus, her sister's for that matter.

Bacon - A fetus?

aiden - Yeah... Eum... like a baby, still inside the womb... before it's even really alive... it's only this big...

Bacon - ah... I'm sure that's fine...

>ask him how he makes his little monsters and ask if you could see his operation

Bacon - How exactly... in simple terms, do you make your monsters?

Aiden - Well, I take living tissue, optimally in an early growth stage. and I place it in a stasis container, full of chemicals and concoctions that both aid the critter grow up fast, and also heal it's wounds rapidly. Then using very precise and delicate doses I add acids and degenerating compounds to the flesh, healing it instantly thanks to the chemicals it's bathed in. And like a lovely banzai tree, my wives and I groom the little lumpling into a new shape adding or removing needed organs and appendages from all sorts of other critters, so that it's exactly as needed.

Bacon - Heh... Well I'm sure that's fine...

>>618772
>go see the operation.

>The elf leads you into the next room over, where resting in a bed is a young woman, her belly is exposed and marked with black in in dotted lines along her stomach. On a nearby table, in a vat of green fluids, lies a small, pale skinned creature... It's skull is completely exposed and it's limbs are shapeless and gross. You notice on a shelf, three tiny girls dressing up in black, tight, latex like suits, behind a screen cover.

>>618815
>I thought he mutated living people or something.

Bacon - Could you mutate a living person?

Aiden - Why yes I could...

Bacon - You would do that to a person?

Aiden - Only if they were willing, of course. In fact I mutated my three wives, by my own hand.

Bacon - You mutated your wives?!

Aiden - With their permission. Greater yet, by their request! *his air changes from jovial to serious* My beloved lovelies are my heart and passion. I would not dare commit such an act against their will. Not on my life I Wouldn't harm a hair on... *he exhales heavily*

Girl1 - He's at it again...

Girl2 - Sshh~ such a big deal for him...

Girl3 - *Bites her thumb nervously*

Bacon - I'm sorry...

Aiden - No... It's okay... I just get a little heated when that subject comes up... it's been... an issue, in the past...

>The gods watch over, and leave us to our devices.

Bacon - My masters mean to tell you that: "The gods watch over, and leave us to our devices. If we have the power to save people, then why shouldn't we?"

Aiden - Your masters are quite wise... and also able to communicate telepathically?

Bacon - eum... yes...

Aiden - I suspected no less~ They have my regards and greetings.

>1. Are they ever sentient or sapient?
>2. Is he willing to take responsibility if his experiments go wrong?
>I do hope he's not forcing the sapient ones into slavery.

Bacon - My masters would like to know if the creatures you create are ever sentient or sapient.

Aiden - If it need be then yes, if I'm requested to grow an organ, then no. If I'm asked to make a creature to be a pet, then it should have the mind of a dog. If I'm to make a loyal monster soldier, then a humans mind is a better fit...

Bacon - So you sometimes make slaves?

Aiden - I personally do not own any slaves... But what my clients do with their commissions, I cannot tell nor judge. But for what it's worth, I cannot install a servitude function. If I make a creature capable of sentient thought, then it is also capable of free will... For better or for worse...

Bacon - I see... One last question on the matter... if something goes wrong with a creation... You would take responsibility, right?

>He gently strokes his clawed hand, his tender burnt skin glistens as he faces Bacon...

Aiden - If things go wrong... It's my responsibility... And I take care of it... personally... But I don't make mistakes... Not anymore... Anywho~ I suppose you want to know what the operation will be like?

Bacon - Yes, yes of course!

Aiden - Well, my wives over there are suiting up as we speak, and when they're ready, they'll hop into this container, after I've sedated the creature of course. and they'll sever it's liver... then I'll pull it out and open the little girl, removing the old one and popping the new one in. Then, my lovely wives, Rose, violet and Dahlia will drop down into her gut and using wrist mounted dispositives, pour healing compounds into the connection points between her and the organ, and then I'll sew up the wound and patch her up. Simple as that.

Bacon - simple...

>Bacon looks over to the changing screen and notices a small figure poking out.

Dahlia - Hi~

>Bacon seems startled.

Aiden - Would you like to see the process?

Bacon - Well, I don't need to, but if my masters want to, I could be obliged...

>_ _ _

>But for what it's worth, I cannot install a servitude function. If I make a creature capable of sentient thought, then it is also capable of free will... For better or for worse...
Ah, good, good. It may be a simple matter of finding the neural coding that is more likely to be loyal... Though that's all very complex stuff, and we could talk on for hours if we get started.
Perhaps, being a shard of metal, organic life is a miraculous wonder~
>If things go wrong... It's my responsibility... And I take care of it... personally... But I don't make mistakes... Not anymore...
A lovely answer. He acknowledges past mistakes, and has learned what not to do from them.
>Well, I don't need to, but if my masters want to, I could be obliged...
As interested as I am, Bacon, I was not asking a rhetorical question. If you have any discomfort about the idea, then it is not necessary. It is merely a topic of interest, not an example of his ethics, which you have already determined to be good.
>You notice on a shelf, three tiny girls dressing up in black, tight, latex like suits, behind a screen cover.
Hum. His wives asked to be made small to assist with the operations, I guess... Not something to ask about just now, of course, that girl will need the new liver as soon as possible.

This is such an interesting process! I mean while it does seem creepy on first glance with your answers having cleared up a few things, this does seem perfectly in order, I would love to see a bit of the process myself, but I wouldn't force Bacon into looking at it if it isn't his desire.

Though I'm curious as to how well he can sculpt a mind that has a full process of free will.

No, the mutations are physical, Dahlia wanted a few extra tails when she lost hers, Violet has a few more arms than most rose is a bit more scrumptious and there's a few changes inside as well... But lets not go into details about these things. on to busyness...

>Aiden carefully cuts the beast's side open, completely exposing the liver so you can easily see. It's clearly far too big for such a small creature, but just big enough for a human. The three girls swim into the cavity and get to work. Their voices travel heavily through their masks...

Dahlia - oh, sure... Hhmmn! Here you go...

Violet - Hey, we need the Gallbladder attached right?

Rose - Not specifically, But we may as well keep it attached.

Violet - Okeydokey~ Hello mister Bile duct, Good bye mister bile duct.

Rose - Vi, get to work on the Heptic portal vent down there. And try to make it clean, just cause you have four arms doesn't mean you should work twice as fast.

Violet - Ohmemememe~ Don't worry I'll be careful.

I like this guy(and his wives) already, They make surgery much more interesting than just the standard "cut, cut, clamp, cut, suture, burn/suture, bandage"

>>619018
With how small the Flutterkin are, it makes sense that they'd be quite involved when it comes to surgery.
>Violet - Hey, we need the Gallbladder attached right?
>Rose - Not specifically, But we may as well keep it attached.
>Violet - Okeydokey~ Hello mister Bile duct, Good bye mister bile duct.
Huh. The bile duct is basically attatched to the gallbladder, so it's interesting that they would keep the Gallbladder but lose the duct. Ah, well, I suppose the ducts are less connected to the liver than the gallbladder itself, so even if the liver failed, the ducts should be good.
...See what I mean? We talk on and on.
>Heptic portal vent
That's... not a term I'm familiar with. The hepatic portal itself carries nutrients up to the liver, but I wonder what this vent is?

>>619076
I'm no doctor, I just googled: "Liver, detailed illustration" and picked out names of pipes that made sense to me... In truth I've only the foggiest idea of how a liver even works.

Obviously a Heptic portal vent is there to stop magical energies from flowing the wrong way.

Certainly. Even if you primarily operate as a medic... Well, we'll be having need for a wide variety of jobs, anyways.

With flying colors, We look forward to working with you.

Can you grow arms?

100%, You are certainly qualified and worth working with.

You're totally running a long con on this town aren't you.

WELCOME ABOARD!!! Now seriously, fix all your clients with more long-term solutions before you LEAVE. You could die for some reason, our fault or a freak accident or something, and they'd be left without a doctor who can deal with their problems.

>Now seriously, fix all your clients with more long-term solutions before you LEAVE.
As long as he's got notes stashed away, that's "Long-term" enough. Honestly, if he is pulling the wool over their eyes and offering shorter term solutions, I'm fine with that. Having a steady source of income is useful, and as long as he isn't letting these people die out, it's all well and good.

These are, however, simply assumptions. It's possible his grin was at being able to do more than anybody else could, or at proving his abilities can be used for good, not just bad.

Oh and can you fix broken arms? Or whatever the hell is wrong with Williams arm.

Slightly disturbing, sure. But given that Trixy is proficient in transfigurations, there'd probably be some synergy there. Plus if he ever creates some monstrosity that breaks free from his control, we could just bodyjack it.

Ooooor we could secretly conspire with him to create a monstrous form specifically TO be bodyjacked, like some sort of horrible weaponized demonic meatsleeve.

>>619262
Let's not suggest that he is conning people unless we are SURE of it. I mean, Jesus man, Even if he is, have some subtlety!

If the problem is in her bones you need to drill a hole in one of the large bones in her leg and transplant healthy marrow from a donor into her. Sometimes its more complicated but that's the basic procedure.

By apologizing for your actions and transforming his brother back. Disproportionate retribution doesn't solve anything.

In return, he will apologize for the names he and his brother called you before his brother is returned to his old shape.

Don't you think that turning people into newts is a bit harsh for what they did? I am all for you defending yourself but we want to make the punishment fit the crime after all. Plus how would you feel if someone turned one of your siblings into something?

Anyways tell this guy that if he stabs you how exactly will that help his brother? Willing to bet he does not know many mages that can de-newt people. So tell him to put away the sword so we can discuss things. If he continues to wave that thing around its going to end badly.

>First of all, He's a blue tailed skink.
Aww, such a cutie.
>Master, how should I deal with this punk?
First, you can apologize for turning his brother into a cute little fellow. "Kobolds must have different senses of beauty than humans" and all that. Then, turn his brother back, only, if the clothes were transmuted with him, have them transmute back "Beside" him. This will not only cause him a bit of hesitation in coming after you, but also give you the chance to throw in another apology to catch them off guard. (We'll laugh about this later, but put some sincerity into it) Of course, if his clothes ended up left behind anyways... Well, then you'd have to apologize for being unable to teleport clothing; that's just not within your power (As far as we know *wink*)

Now, if they refuse to relent at all, them give them a monstrous fright. Make yourself to look like the Witch of Chaos and place a "Hex" upon them as punishment for refusing to accept an apology. No mention that it was for the initial insults, since the Witch of Chaos shouldn't be caring all the time about everything a normal person would.

Turn the guy back into a human then give them both a gimp leg each.

Sweetie just turn him back, we don't have time to get in fights with civilians.

Or better yet, make one tall and skinny and the other one fat, then give them bowler hats. They can be a comedy duo.

Change that guard back, it was a bit much.
( leave the blue tail though. :3 )

As for the other one.. he's clearly walking the line between soldier and armed thug. Alter his hairstyle a bit so he looks appropriately thuggish. a scraggly beard and hair so long it covers his eyes should be good.

>>620278
What the other one said, turn him back, but leave the tail as a warning.

Look, guys. We have to help Eadoo become a king. We won't do that by randomly transforming people who might or might not have started it by insulting a subordinate. That's why we should transform him back fully after an apology on both sides.

>>620390
That's why I encouraged a tactic that would get them to hesitate, and actually take a moment to think it over. Gives them a chance to apologize.
I do like the blue tail idea though. I'm sure Trixy can keep that on and claim she's short on whichever type of mana it takes to transfigure a person. Encourage them to at least let her have enough time to "recover" a bit more mana, y'know?

Make sure to be sincere with your apology. We'll possess you if you aren't. And you won't like how we'll do it. So suck it up and say sorry like you mean it.

>what was the insult? And how exactly did they "menace" you?

Trixy - He called me a forest monster, and told me to get back into the forest or he'd skin me and make a pair of boots out of me. I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't listen... So I turned him into a skink. It seemed like the proper thing to do~

>is this guy anyone important or is he just some guard?

Trixy - I don't know, He's got some badges and nice boots, but he hardly seems like a captain or what not. At least not by my standards, he's got no gold no armor and he smells like a pig...

Stern - Aahh! Y-you You turned me into a newt!

Trixy - Blue tailed skink, They're way cooler than newts, You should be grateful!

Guard - Blue tailed my ass! He's still got it, you witch! Turn him back completely!

Trixy - Oh Woof~ Wish I could lads...

Stern - Wh-what do you mean?!

Guard - Why I aughta...

Trixy - Don't worry to much. It'll ware off in time. The spell wasn't permanent anyways, he would of turned back on his own, sooner or later. Besides it looks good on him.

Guard - Ggrr... Stern go get you're clothes back on. And you... fuck off you rat bastard.

Trixy - Pff... Look. I was out of line... I'm really, really sorry... that's not true, I'm not sorry... Oh geeze! I mean I am sorry! No I'm not!

Guard - What are you on about? You turned my brother into a lizard! you'd better be sorry or I'll make you sorry!

Trixy - I'm not sorry at all. I mean eeh... Eeh...

>_ _ _

>>620484
Tell him that picking a fight with a mage is always a terrible idea, and while you're trying to be gentle with them you're having trouble keeping calm when racist shits insist on being stubbornly aggressive.
Then illusion his sword's blade as a snake and tell him to just walk away and leave you alone.

Honestly with how they were acting they should be grateful you did not do worse.

You should have turned them both into lizards and then they could think on there actions for however long it took for the spell to wear off. Maybe come to the realization that you should not go around insulting people at random because some of them just might do something about it.

So good job showing so much restraint Trixy. And no you do not need to say you are sorry unless you feel sorry.

>I'm not sorry at all. I mean eeh... Eeh...
Trixy, I didn't want to have to say this, but... I'm sorely disappointed in you. I don't even want you to refer to me directly at the time being.
That oughta help

>>620484
These are also the people that will have to swear fealty to Eadoo when we banish the demons from the haunted castle.

For now we are still guests in this city, so perhaps we should do something in their favor, as a peace offering?
Can always make them see the error of their ways after we are their undoubted rulers and saviors.

I suggest.. hmm.. blessing them both with a tiny bit of healing/transmutation magic that would ease their soldier-pains. There are very few soldiers, or indeed any working folk that go without at least a little pain in their feet and backs after all. They'll probably be euphoric after, and a little easier to deal with, as you will show them that you have power that can be used for kindness.

If she can't apologize, we can posses her and do it for her. And tell him that she'll be punished for what she did, that should calm him down. Plus she deserves a punishment for what she did.

>>620538

If they had talked like that to us they would have probably ended up inside out or worse. So why would we punish her for standing up to a bully?

Guard - Well your husband to be isn't real! You're just crazy.

Guard - I'm not afraid of you, you little rat fuck!

>Trixy mutters lighting fast and waves her hand about quickly, he suddenly looks at his sword and yells loud, dropping the weapon on the ground and jumping away from it.

Guard - Why you! I... I oughta... I'd pummel you if I... Mmnn!!

Trixy - if what~? if you were't powerless compared to me?

Guard - Shut up! I am a noble human and you are Vermin! I have my rights!

Trixy - *Tisk~tisk...* such foolishness~

>>620516
>blessing them both with a tiny bit of healing/transmutation magic

Trixy - look... let's be reasonable. There's no need to fight okay?

>she rubs her hands muttering a spell. light erupts from her palm.

Trixy - This spell will heal you and rejuvenate your spirits. take it as a sign of my masters respect.

Guard - Don't touch me you witch! Don't think I trust your so called good faith! You're not welcome in Kojiro, not now not ever! You and all your Filthy kind can piss off and never come back!, filthy monster... Your god is not welcome in Magnus's lands and he never Will! *pant-pant* You... You better leave, The sooner the better!

Because he was really going to trust any sort of 'blessing' or magic after that sort of display, even I certainly wouldn't touch that after such because I'd fear it'd harm me in some manner.

>>621165
See, Trixie, THAT is how you apologize in sincerity. Not to the person you are supposed to, but to another, without naming them. Any time you're having trouble saying sorry to somebody, then say sorry to us, without mentioning name, as though we are behind them.
I'm certainly never so upset that I want you to cry though please stop now I'm sad.

Aww look what you did you made her cry.

If we had a body we would give you a hug and wipe your tears away.

Listen Trixy never be afraid to stand up for yourself. If someone gives you crap for being a kobold they are a racist asshole and we do not care what they say.

But you need to be careful about flaunting your powers right now. Our forces are small and it would be nice to keep the fact that we have a archmage on our side under wraps. Instead of highly visible magic like you used consider something more subtle. Like putting them to sleep or any number of temporary annoying curses. I bet if they spent the next 3 days uncontrollably itching or something it would get the message across.

That being said if they had actually attacked you feel free to go all out. You are our woman and no one gets to lay a hand on your pretty little head. We will lecture you at length though.

>>621165
Ok, you can talk to us now.

Some ground rules:
Don't use force, magic, or threats when people are only saying things. You can call them out on being bigots, but don't be the one to proverbially throw the first punch.
If somebody starts to attack you, then use the least amount of force to stop them. Making him think his sword was a snake immediately brought the conflict to an end without anybody getting hurt and a minimum amount of effort.
If somebody picks a fight with you then let us know immediately.

Ok, since everyone is being so nice and acting like you aren't a horny masochist, let me be exceptionally blunt.

1. We are not marrying you. You know thanks to our multifaceted nature that you will always get someone playing into your game. Don't assume as a collective we all are.

2. You aren't the center of the universe anymore. You may be powerful, but these event don't revolve around you, and when you throw these little tantrums at people (even people who totally deserve it, and I agree they do), you cause problems we aren't ready to deal with yet. Eadoo isn't even sitting on the throne and we are now amassing noble enemies. We don't have the resources to deal with those kind of enemies yet. This makes a problem for us.

3. You are going to be a problem. I know most of those here didn't really understand what we did to you. We changed you so all the negativity was positivity. You love us with all the hatred in the world. All the pain we caused you before we forgot, we made that into a love letter without half of us even understanding it. You are a powerful entity with no ties to the world except us and an ego the size of the sun. You could kill everyone and ruin everything with a single concerted effort. You will ruin everything, on purpose, with a single concerted effort, eventually.

Trixy, I think when we knew you before, we existed to serve you. We were there to guide you through your story, to it's conclusion.

This is not your story Trixy. This is the tale of someone else. You don't have to let anyone push you around, but even if you never have before, you have to think of the consequences of what you do now.

>>621271
1. That's not really your decision. We are a collective and if the majority wants to marry her then we're marrying her.

2. We already had have Martin going to tell the king about us so two pissed off assholes supremacists aren't going to make things worse.

3. I agree with you here. We ma have don irreparable damage to her very soul and made her loopier then she already was, maybe even to loopy for us but we gotta try help her. Let's just hope It dosen't end up like when we tried to help Shenzi.

Finally I've realized that with tis quest things are not going to be black and white, nor are things going to always turn out in our favor or how we like them so we need to use every failure and moment like this to improve ourselves and our (followers/party members/minions?) and not just yell at them and tell them they're doing wrong. We must try and remain positive for them and us.

>>621298
1. He does happen to be part of the collective. It's as much his decision as it is yours, but further discussion of this probably goes in the disthread. For what it's worth, I'm against marrying her, too.

Listen Trixy our very nature makes us unpredictable and prone to changing our minds at a whim. We can't agree on the most simple things sometimes. You will just have to accept that parts of us will adore you while other parts will find you irradiating.

I could give you a long speech about what to do and what not to do but honestly just try your best. Am honestly more worried about everyone in our group getting along than our complicated relationship with you.

Anyways so 20 times slower speed you say? We could get up to all sorts of naughty stuff in here with you and no one would notice.

>I just... always feel left out... like I'm alone...
As it just so happens, though you are one to transfigure your own self, our new ally practices the art of transfiguration upon others. He's interested in meeting you, if you would like. I would certainly recommend taking the time to chat with him, once you feel your emotions have calmed down.
*leans in close to Trixie* Of course, if you'd like to help quell these arguing fools, enacting one of the stories of your fictional past would be fun.

>>621492
Trixie, getting married before there's a way to permanently attach you to the collective would be the ultimate in futile gestures. Marriage is a binding - a contract to stay together on a permanent basis. But until you're permanently bound to the collective we all know how it will play out: We'll vanish, you'll be alone again, you'll descend into madness, and the cycle will start anew... but worse than before since your abandonment would hurt all the keener.

How about this... The collective forgets, but you do not. So help us with our research. If we can't figure out how to append you in this cycle, then you can continue the work until next we meet and re-teach us all we discover. Then in the next cycle we can start from there instead of starting over.

Is that an acceptable alternative to your prior wish to be consumed?

Kid... you're chasing shadows.

Right now, Eadoo is busy creating a kingdom. You have a chance to act upon that. You need to decide where you are, and what you're going to do. You can't just hold tight and assume everything will be okay. Are you really happy the way things are going?

You're capable of telling the truth. I suggest you tell it to yourself.

Maybe we should leave you alone for a little while, some of us seem rather upset at you at the mome. Is there anything you could do to calm down or cheer yourself up?

Why bother with fiction? You are a powerful mage with a complicated past. Your actual history is interesting enough. Just prove yourself to them with your actions and words.

Once everyone gets to know each other better you can spin some tales.

Please smile love, it pains my heart to see you sad. I hope you meet our new friend. He's going to make a Living body for us, maybe you could help desing it?
also, you did say that we were a god to the guard, Is that true?
either way, be a dear and give us a big smile okay? If you're nice and helpful all day long, we'll visit you tonight in bed and show you paradise. but if you misbehave you'll get nothing.

And... well... my heart is bound to you... without you, my heart falters and the ether fills the void you leave, with madness...

Trixy - oh okay~ Would you like to see the day we first met?

>Trixy leads you to a large open room, filled with trees and grass. It's a dark and windy night. The stars are bright and gorgeous, the moon is full and bright. It's strange though, there's no color here and everything is kinda granulated and the sound is slightly muffled and choked... there's an unpleasant blur just above your ankles that you just cant shake, it's almost aggravating, yet nostalgic of a time when this was perfectly normal... You quickly realize that you don't look quite like yourself, you're a strange pale lanky man, with no clear distinctive facial features, and hardly any muscle to speak of on your dry bones, wrapped tightly in your rubber like skin. Yet you look quite well dressed~ You're holding a long, dented sword, it's reminiscent of your blade form, only fully fleshed, perhaps not shattered or broken? you can't exactly recall. Yet, you feel you can not let go. you feel your body possessed by the blade even though you're not impaled by it.

Trixy - Hi master~

>Trixy looks a tad smaller than she used to, with longer ears and bright pink clothing... You shutter at how you know the color of her dress despite not being able to see color at the moment...

Trixy - I'm guessing you don't remember all this very well so I got you the script. here you go~

>You flip through the pages with Trixy, she speaks clearly and openly, knowing her passages by heart... You skip forwards expecting a sex scene shoe horned in, but find it rather tame and even childlike... A few lines catch your eyes... er... sight...

T- Because... because I'm a monster. I'm different and wrong! No one loves me mister... no one... M- Trixy, there's nothing wrong with you, you're unique. *wipes a tear from her cheek* Trixy, you're perfect. T- Per-perfect? M- We're the same you and I. *sigh* In a different time, we formed a whole... *laughs to himself* well not quite but... you wouldn't understand... T- A different time? like in the future? M- That's not exactly right... but I guess it's the simplest way to put it... last time we met, you were holding this blade. T- B-but we never met before? M- told-yah you wouldn't understand~ T- *giggles* you're mysterious mister... I like you

>You run through the lines, Trixy seems to enjoy herself to no end. reliving the first sights of a first love. At the end, as per the script you hug each other on a hillside, staring at the stars and the moon, gently petting her soft furry head and doing literally nothing else for about and hour. you watch the sunrise, and notice Trixy letting a single tear roll down her cheek while smiling happily... your lines read: I have to go now, but we will meet again. and until then, remember to love yourself. to which she reply's: Mister, I will find you. I don't care how long it takes. and when I do I'm going to hug you, and kiss you and I'm never going to let you go. I love you mister. I love you and no one else~.

>_ _ _

Well Trixy that's your answer right there. While we are working with Eadoo you will be our magical expert. And your one of your main jobs will be to help us recover our memories and past. If we can figure out what we are maybe we can change both our fates.

But for that to work we need to stay awake long enough. Which means keeping Eadoo on the right path and supporting her the best we can. If her quest fails or ends early we will not have enough time to solve our own problem.

>M- We're the same you and I. *sigh* In a different time, we formed a whole... *laughs to himself* well not quite but... you wouldn't understand...
>T- A different time? like in the future?
>M- That's not exactly right... but I guess it's the simplest way to put it... last time we met, you were holding this blade.
Oh! It looks like we eventually learn to hold ourselves together. Trixie, this suggests that our cursed memory isn't permanent.

Okay give her a kiss on the nose and see if anyone else needs our help.
what were we supposed to do at this point?

Eadoo - There you are Trixy. Concu is rounding up some people into a secret room of the inn. She has important stuff to discus and asked that I bring important people, so come on.

>Trixy walks over to Eadoo and hugs her tightly, taking her off guard.

Trixy - Thank you Eadoo... thanks... It means a lot to me that you think I'm important.

Eadoo - Well, you are Gatling's lover, and a powerful mage. I'd be lying if I said you went important to the team.

Trixy - Eadoo, I... I'm sorry for lying earlier on. I hope you don't think less of me for it.

Eadoo - N-no! not at all. *what's gotten into her?* Of course, I forgive you. you were just playing right?

Trixy - Yeah... I'm sorry in advance if i lie to you again... I... I have a problem...

Eadoo - Hey, it's okay. I forgive you and Gatling can help you I'm sure. But, lets get going.

>Trixy follows Eadoo towards the secret room. Concu, Alanna, Roland, Ean and Banzai are already there.

Concu - Okay, I've brought you here because there's a guard and a priest in the tavern, this room is sound proof. Would you like some tea?

>Concu pours some tea for everyone, looking stressed. Sitting in Alanna's lap she sips at her beverage but spills some because of her shaking hands.

Alanna - Are you okay Concu?

concu - *sigh* ...

>Sitting on Alanna's lap, the little elf turns around and presses her face between Alanna's breasts, shaking her head vigorously and grabbing with both hands.

Alanna - EEEep!!

concu - Aaahh~ much better! Teehee, thanks Alanna~

Alanna - ee...Ehh... You-you're welcome? *Gatling... Since I've been back, Concu has been showering me in compliments and chocolate, I'm starting to enjoy the attention she gives me, But I'm worried. I feel like I shouldn't... plus she's so small. I feel dirty...*

Concu - Now! Onto busyness. There have been some changes in the plans and we'll need to reevaluate. Our Team destined to Ironroot is leaving at night instead of midday to accommodate Angel who is breaking Aedola out of prison tonight. Angel and Aedola need to be in the away team, so factor that into our plans. We now have Pipo, Yulfa, Mister Valdor and his wives as well. Valdor would rather stay in town since he's of better in his lab. Pipo would rather be apart from his mother, and Yulfa would rather be with her son, so there's no easy call there, I'll leave that to you Gatling.

Eadoo - I'm sure they can handle that.

Concu - But before we divide our forces, it's important to understand what tasks we have at hand. I feel we overlooked a few many things this morning. we can storm the castle when ever we want. but simply owning the castle wont make you king here Eadoo.

Eadoo - No?

Concu - Nope. There are five forces here in Kojiro,and if you want to own kojiro, you'll need power over them all... the ancestry is already on your side since our village elder gives you her blessing. The commerce is on your side, since I'm your ally. So you need to win over the people, the church and the law.

Eadoo - Okay, How?

Concu - ah, well that's your problem, you and your Advisers. But here's what I can share: You can gain the peoples trust by helping around, the sidequests should suffice. The church and law wont be as easy. The law enforcers here are corrupt and wont budge, nor will they enjoy higher power. The church wont allow another king then their own and the people here are very religious, so if you want to call yourself king, you'll need to change their religion and their enforcers.

Ean - Hmmn... that is a problem... I say we kick out the law! Knock em down a peg and take their badges, exile or kill them if we must. We'll make our own guards and law!

Roland - I'm not so sure that's wise. But the church is going to be a greater ordeal... We can't leave the right to worship Magnus... their dogmas wont allow Eadoo to rule, it would result in revolt within days... But it wont do to just rip their religion away...

Eadoo - Hhhhhhmmm.... Gatling what do you think we should do?

>_ _ _

If you can infiltrate the church and expose mass heresy, it would result in an exodus of most of the main forces.

As for the police, why not just pay them to keep tabs and spy on gangs rather than arrest criminals? Then your own people take the law into their own hands without fear of being arrested (basically, the police are now a bodyguard agency but won't do ^&*( outside their bases). Change the structure of law enforcement, and you get to keep all those powerful connections the police have been hoarding up...

As for the people, I guess you should open up the boarders and let all the supporters in and all the haters out. This will weaken your kingdom but should decrease the odds of civil war.

>Pipo would rather be apart from his mother, and Yulfa would rather be with her son
Pipo wants some time on his own, while Yulfa wants to ensure that he's safe. Send Yulfa with the Away team, while Pipo's here in town, and we'll have a whole town to ensure his safety. That's the best we can offer her right now.
>Roland - I'm not so sure that's wise.
Yes, I agree. We can't just butcher the guard, nor can we exile people for inherited corruption. Corruption is the only way they've been able to keep their power all these years, without it, other sources of corruption would have drove their way in.

Win over the people, and the Guard will have to relent, or else they face a rebellion. Win over the guard, and we can bring up the Court of Orcus. With the Court of Orcus up and running, we'll have half taken control of the religious side of things, and while we won't be able to end the rest of it... We won't need to. The whole point of Justice is to enforce that which is Just, and the whole point of Death is to pave the way for others. The religions don't have to agree with one another, they just have to tolerate each other.

Ok the law can probably be dealt with easier if we have all the other factions on our side. Can remove or kill the worst of the corrupt and the rest should follow if we appear to have enough local support.

The church could be tricky. How do people feel about religious freedoms around here? If we dig up enough dirt on the church and the most devout followers of Magnus we could turn public opinion against them and take out the worst of the lot while everyone is distracted with the scandal.

Honestly most non humans around here should not be to much of a problem. Its the more racist humans we need to deal with. And honestly we might just have to kill a bunch of them. We could drive them off but then they would just wander over to the next kingdom and spread tales of how horrible we are.

>>622343
I say we sent Pipo on the away team so he can get some adventure and his mom will be able to help us out with the town better then he could

If we win over the people I would be easier to deal with the guards, we can keep those that aren't corrupt or are willing to change and replace the others with people from the town like Yulfa, she's a mother and a worrier, shell make one hell of a guard.

As for the church, what would the people think if we allowed the worship of more than one god?
Don't remove the current church just lessen their power.

>>622322
The charm on Concu may be more serious than it seemed. It was an unshaped, accidental sort of magic, powerful and primal.. but.. you can see its effects are being forced. That trembling may be from trying to resist, and it may be taking its toll on her.

Trixy~ you know the importance of honesty and the power of love. Perhaps you can help Alanna untangle Concu's be-spelled heart? Gently, if possible, but completely.

I think she was trembling because she was trying to restrain herself from motor-boating Alanna. After she gave in to her urges it seems to have cleared up.

But yes we should have Trixy look into the charm spell. While the situation is entertaining we should at least try to fix things. Even if fixing things is getting Concu's husband over here and having them wander off for a three way.

As long as we make sure to never take advantage of the state she is in. Accidents happen but how we treat her while she is charmed makes a big difference.

Concu - I doubt the church has a mass heresy worth mentioning.

Concu - Magnus forbids the worship of other gods, so if we leave his church the people cont convert.

>we can bring up the Court of Orcus.

Concu - Orcus, The god of Judgement? I didn't know we were dealing with him... Either way, I'll try to dig up some dirt on the chuch, worst case scenario we frame them right?

>>622339
>>622343
>why not just pay them

Concu - Why would they accept payment? They have all the power in the palms of their hands. money is pointless to them here. If a guard walks into my tavern, he drinks for free, no questions asked.

>Win over the people, and the Guard will have to relent

Concu - No they wont. Last time that happened it was akin to genocide. And the guards are still in power, so yeah...

>we can keep those that aren't corrupt or are willing to change

Concu - I'd call that at about 89percent of the guards. They're all corrupt or racist, if not both. The worst being Sargent mayors, Twice condemned For manslaughter, thrice for rape and countless accounts of theft, a vile racist and a crook, how he got his badge is beyond me.

Eadoo - Oh my!

Concu - yeah, it wasn't always this way... Way back when we had the Crimson roses and the Rising Dawn... But that was before my time... Either way, how ever you decide to deal with them I support you.

>Trixy~ you know the importance of honesty and the power of love. Perhaps you can help Alanna untangle Concu's be-spelled heart?

Trixy - Hhmmn... I'll gladly try, but I'm not making promises, I'm a mage not a sorceress. I know to most, all magic looks the same. But to compare the two would be like a mad man and a genius speaking to one another, they may sound the same, but they are worlds apart. either way, I'll try but crossing fey magic and arcane magic can have volatile reactions if it fails... eehh Whats the worst that could happen?

Concu - Either way. Now that we have a base plan to work with, we need to choose who's going where. Remember that they're going to be gone for five days at best and that we don't need to split half and half.

Angel and Aedola need to be in the away team, while Valdor and wives need to be in town.

>_ _ _

Deferran, Trixy, Onion, Liver, and Yulfa will lead the attack on the "police" gang. If anyone wants to join in on ending these fake cops, let them; they might turn the locals into hostages anyway.

Crepe, Roland, William, Bacon, and Banzai will investigate and negotiate with the church. Be prepared to run if necessary.

Everyone else stick together and get the support of the people by doing basic sidequests, errands, and social interaction. Work as a single group and make a good impression.

Ok so the police force is to corrupt and powerful and has to go then.

So how about something like this. We find the leader of the guard and with someones help we get our knife thrown or stabbed in him. Best case we have control of there leader. Worst someone notices and we use his body to kill as many people as possible.

Once we have control of the guard captain we have him throw a angry racist fit about the church betraying them. Have him tell his men some story about how the church of Magnus is secretly plotting against them. We march the guards against the church and do our best to have as much friendly fire as possible. Then at some point we turn the captain against his own men and confuse the fuck out of everyone involved.

If we did it right we would end up with a severely weakened church and guard who no longer knew who to trust.

Now this plan would need some discussion but could help us neutralize a bunch of enemies with little threat to our people.

Concu - Okay, I think we misunderstood each other... Those are good ideas, be sure to remember them. But we need to form a team to go to Ironroot, tonight... We are going there to settle a long standing disagreement with their leaders in hopes of forming an alliance, since they are rich in metal and technology. You also wanted to get starmetal from them since you didn't want to use your knife body for the blacksmiths feymood. Angel and Aedola need to leave tonight and Valdor can't leave right now. We will need a good diplomat and bodyguards, as well as what ever you think we might need.

>divide the team<
-Home team will stay in town and deal with the guards and church as well as sidequests-
-Away team will journey to Ironroot and back over the next five days-

>>622686
How about the church investigation team I specified goes to Ironroot? Banzai can stock up on goods here and set up a basic caravan (only take what the team can carry on foot), and then negotiate the details with the merchant leaders in Ironroot. Bacon and William have good diplomacy, but can also fight well. Roland and Crepe will handle combat, but can also handle diplomacy if the situation requires.

Basically, I recommend that all members of the away team have fairly good diplomacy, to prevent accidentally setting off a political powder keg during the negotiations.

>Forgot to mention<

Concu - William can't leave Eadoo's presence. they need to be together.

Ah, right, Ironroot. In that case, flip things around. There's about to be a war here, and I doubt Yulfa wants for her son to be caught in it, so send him on the away mission, along with Shenzi. With Shenzi headed out for Ironroot, we'll need Yulfa helping us take down the police. Having Alanna in with the war may be a risk, but she's going to have to get some experience at some point. Banzai, on the other hand, would help greatly if he were in Ironroot, but having plans for how to handle the replacement of the guard is also vital. Hmm... I say he should go to Ironroot, but any plans he's already got would be well heard.

Away Team:
Pipo, Ean, Eadoo, William, Banzai, Bacon, Onion.
Pipo wants adventure away from his mother, Eadoo is a diplomat and if things go well he can talk to them about becoming king, and Banzai is a merchant.
>Ean would you prefur to be here when we deal with the gaurds?

Home Team:
Alanna, Nissi, Yulfa, Ed, Roland, Shenzi, Liver, Trixy.
Trixy can work on the charm with Alanna, Roland will be of help with both the church and the guard, and I already said why Yulfa should stay.

Alanna - thank you...

Concu - One thing to remember is that as important as the church and guards are, there are some side quests that are time dependent. That girl who was taken by trolls for one and the orks who stole those chickens as well. Another thing, I've gotten word that the strange soldiers are gone, so that mission is no longer available... Either way. It's ultimately up to you to decide what gets done. Oh do keep an eye on Angel, I feel he might need your help when he goes through with his heist.

>The team shuffles out of the secret room and goes about their busyness. You have some time before the heist... Three allies call out to you in rapid succession.

Eadoo probably needs our help now. The others can wait a moment.
we should also keep an eye out in case those solders show back up.

@Trixie: Give us a moment... Eadoo sounds like he's in some immediate trouble, and then we can't be leaving Pipo as a Godless Priest. It may take some time, so this may be a good opportunity to speak with Aiden.
@Pipo: We'll pop over to help you as soon as we figure out what's happened to Eadoo.

>Eadoo probably needs our help now

>Eadoo is relaxing halfnaked in her room, her clothes thrown about. Her breasts seem plump and swollen.

Eadoo - Nng.. Thanks friend... It's starting to get unbearable... They're so full, it hurts... I'm afraid that if I endure it, they'll vanish... Bolds only have breasts when they lactate. And I've grown to like these, despite them hurting me... I've tried milking myself but I can only get a little bit out... If only my cubs where still here to nestle at them... Could you find someone to help milk me? I'd do it myself but I'm far to shy...

>_ _ _

Well, that's... Sensible, actually. I'd feel the same way if I had breasts, for whatever odd reason. But, uh... Only person that comes to mind would be Shenzi, being your adopted daughter and all.

We could also talk to Aiden about throwing in balls of fat there so that you don't have to lactate to have them, but that solution would take some time.

Get Aiden. He's a doctor, and this is a medical issue that you can discuss with him about. He can tell you the long-term benefits and costs of maintaining your current status, or help give you medical options.

Get aiden first, then shenzi if he cant help

>>623046
>>623048
She wants someone to milk her not perform surgery.
Shenzi, Bacon your up.

>>623034
(the proportions look weird)

Shenzi would be a good idea, though Trixy probably wouldn’t mind either.

>>623034
Get a tube of some kind and a circular piece of wood or metal that's about as wide as the tube's inside. Attach the wood or metal to a dowel, soak some cloth, then wrap the cloth around the circular piece until it fits snugly in the tube, but is still movable.

Push the circular piece all the way down so it's near the other end, then put that end over your nipple. Gradually pull the dowel out the other end.
Now you have a breast milk pump.

>>623089
Uh, I think with their tech, a gourd cap would serve best. Stitch some sheep entrails, or something similarly tube-like, to a hole at the nipple end of it, but not a very long one. At the end of the short "Tube" you could place a small junction--The appendix portion of the intestines works great for this--with a miniature bellows attached to it, and a waterskin connected to the other bit. Using this, milk could be sucked out of the breasts while the bellows "inhales," and pushed into the skin when it "exhales."

I'm not sure if this applies to Kobolds, but human milk expires quickly, so this is something meant for use in the following day or two! Otherwise, you can simply squeeze it out somewhere, and wash it out to prevent curdling milk inside the skin.

Why are we discussing this, anyways? These are also solutions that could take time to create, while Eadoo needs a solution for now!

Tell banzai to wait a moment. we need to help the other two, then we can go with him.
We should probably help Pipo first.

Pipo might need some help.

As much as I want to watch shenzi and bacon sucking on eadoos fits, and knowing them, having sex and/or getting into hilarious hijinx. The logical and productive side says go with pipo. Bandai give us a minute we might follow you.

Dammit, I'm torn between staying here and watching what will most likely devolve into sexy times and helping summon a god!


Well it seems my love of death outweighs my lust, TO Pipo!

Banzai: Take someone with you and keep us informed, this towns dangerous and the farm thing might be a scam.
Oh and Eadoo I want details later.

Watch the inevitable freaky sex. All things wait for sex.

Pipo - Okay, So I asked our village elder for books on spirit gods, because Eadoo asked me to become a priest. And she was happy to help, she told me that anything in her attic was free game. So I found a holy text dedicated to Orcus, among other books on other gods... And I made a cool priest robe and found this scythe and Shenzi was happy to give me this necklace of skulls... Not sure where she got it... Either way. I read about becoming a priest, and it says there's a blood ritual that I need to perform before I can be initiated. So I drew the sigil from the book in my own blood and left the rest in that bowl. Then I bought Those red candles, it costed me every coin I had, but that's the way it's supposed to be since I'm supposed to take a vow of poverty when I initiate. It literally says that the preparations must cost ALL of my money... So I have almost everything ready. All I need is the solemn blessings from someone with power over death, like a king or a judge. I need five virgin maidens. And Three criminals. They need to be either murderers, cannibals or rapists. They will be sacrificed, but the virgins will live. I'll only have to cut them a little...

>_ _ _

do we even know any virgins?

eadoo can help you, he technically is a king right?
we seem to also have a little power over death, but i dont know if that's gonna cut it.
we can probably convince the prison to let us do some of their executions for them.

>>623331
That's kinda a lot of work we've yet to do...he should put out the candles and save them for when we actually have everything ready.

>>623331
Okay, "the solemn blessings from someone with power over death", I think Eadoo, Gatling, William, Trixy, or Aiden can do that; Eadoo's a king, Gatling is... "us", William has taken the path of the immortals so he is in defiance of death, Trixy is a shapeshifter whose mind once died only to be resurrected, and Aiden is a biochemist who saves those that are dying of natural causes. Maybe you should get blessings from EVERYONE you know.

"Five virgin maidens": Okay, this is REALLY important: pick specific maidens whose testimony of your murder of criminals will have a positive effect on Eadoo's public relations. You'll want to find people who have been utterly wronged by the criminals, or are sociopathic in nature but willing to work with your team. Do you get a do-over if you accidentally draw blood from a non-virgin non-criminal, or will that cause the ritual to explode?

Criminals: Easiest part of the ritual. Eadoo and company will be doing some sidequests. We can recommend when to capture and when to kill, so three criminals should be easy pickings. If we get the "police" gang, can you overkill during the ritual or is that a sign of depravity?

In all honesty, I don't think this is a good idea. Put out those candles until you have the 3 crooks and... 5 civilians. Yes. Civies.

Man religion is complicated.

Well we sort of have power over death but our domain is more power over mind and soul so not sure if we count. Do not think Eadoo counts as a king just yet. We are still at the chief stage until we take the castle and deal with the local factions. We might be able to find a judge that can help. They also might be able to help with the criminals. Although murderers, cannibals and rapists sets the bar a bit high.

As for virgins we will have to look around.

I guess this is what we get for directing you to to the god of murderous vengeance. Although I bet the other ones are just as complicated. And to be fair Orcus is fairly straight forward. Just don't go breaking any oaths around him.

So is there a time limit on this? We can get the gears moving but it could take a bit to acquire everything you need.

Can you... can you just work under Aiden and become a medic? Please?

Because this whole ritual is disturbing.

You're not in poverty; you still have your mother and you work for a king. I don't think this ritual will hold under those circumstances.

Not that this is all a waste. You did a pretty good job of recreating the ritual from the book you read. Maybe you could become a SCHOLAR of Orcus: research different ways on how to kill, instead of doing the killing yourself (Eadoo has an army already). We need people to research intel, advise us on things that are alien to us, give Eadoo counsel when we can't.

>>623348
Yeah this blood ritual is really creepy, plush everyones been questioning the worship of orcus since the get go. maybe worship a different god. Trixie said were a god , maybe we could convert the people here to worship us instead of killing the church folks? Or maybe trixie can teach you to mage since your good with sigils?

>>623331
Pipo, its not proper to start cooking without all of the ingredients.

One of the most important of those would be your will. This is not what you truly wish to be, is it?

Tell us, in full honesty, what you seek from facing the forces in that castle.
Revenge? Justice? Closure? Perhaps you want to prove yourself worthy by overcoming what your father could not? Or even to simply keep others from sharing in this tragedy? Perhaps a burning hatred for the faceless force that took him away?

Once you can say, with full certainty, WHY, then the means will be revealed.

>I guess this is what we get for directing you to to the god of murderous vengeance. Although I bet the other ones are just as complicated.

Pipo - Yeah, I read a bit about the others, it seems that virgins are the money of the gods...

>>623386
>Tell us, in full honesty, what you seek from facing the forces in that castle...

Pipo - What I seek?! I seek! ... Of course I...

Pipo - I don't know what I seek... I've always just been an angry kid, I've never really thought about it... I just wanted vengeance... something to throw my rage at... Now that its actually gonna happen... I... I'm not sure I know my place in all of it... I guess I want to make my dad proud... *sigh* What would he do? ... *sigh* ... One thing's for sure, I wont live of a life of peasantry. I stand by what I said to Eadoo... And I think Eadoo was right, asking me to follow the life of religion... I... I don't know how to explain it... But these books, or rather the pages, the words... the values within them... I feel... power coming from them... From me... From within... It resonates with me... it Feels... Mighty... *sigh* I must sound crazy... But I think this might be my destiny... But I do not believe that Orcus is my path... The way of blood and death, about the end of all life... I'm not sure I can agree with it's notions. Maybe a different god is for me? A god of balance, of justice that isn't blind or wrathful... A god who knows right from wrong, but still a god of action... Heh... If only a god like that existed...

Pro Tip: Religion is more of a guide than a ruler, and guides can be anywhere between corrupt or helpful. Don't rely on the gods to justify your actions, your choices come from you.

Well pretty sure we used to be a good of balance. Or at least a part of one. Our memories are mostly missing but we do have some power over good and evil and can manipulate souls.

So you can try worshiping us a bit. No idea if it would work but could be worth a try. Sometimes just having enough faith in a idea is enough to power divine magic.

Anyways we will help you with whatever path you choose. For now save the candles and the rest of the stuff for later.

The church of Orcus might teach you how to wield an executioner's scythe in the name of justice, but in the end it is YOU that holds the scythe and it is YOU who chooses either to spare or execute based on what YOU choose to believe is justice.

>>623547
NO.

All we can do is make suggestions. Gatling is simply a powerful avatar that responds to those suggestions.

>>623545
Of course.
Yurra.
A sun-god of Justice. I doubt his initiation will require you to do anything that would traumatize a virgin.. plus, some of our Gnoll companions have interest, if not actual knowledge about Him. So.. if you can prove yourself to Yurra and our companions, you'll have the start of your own congregation, too!

Hopefully none of us actually fall into Yurra's smite-now list.

Or maybe you could just become a scholar. You said it yourself, something in those books seems to unlock your hidden potential.

>>623560
Ooh, yes, Yurra's a good one. Shenzi won't know anything about Yurra just yet, given the fact she was "Ascended," but Banzai seemed to know a lot. Unfortunately, Banzai's out checking out the Lizard guy, to see if he's legit, and Liver's out with him. Onion might know a bit, and Ed's a seer, but good luck getting any info out of him, he's... Not exactly mute, but he may as well be. Intelligent beyond all reason, but unable to use his words. I guess it's worth a shot, though, maybe he'll figure a way to help you out.

What do you think pipo?

Pipo - well this guide is telling me to do some pretty messed up stuff... And I doubt Orcus would lend me his power if I didn't follow his orders...

>>623547
>you can try worshiping us

Pipo - I could try, but I'd need to know your rituals. Can you share them with me?

>>623549
>NO. All we can do is make suggestions.

Pipo - Ah? I guess you're conflicted, I'll try when you agree on it.

>>623560

>Of course. Yurra. A sun-god of Justice. I doubt his initiation will require you to do anything that would traumatize a virgin.

Pipo - Yurra? I've never heard of him, I'll have to ask around, but a sun god can't be that evil right?

>Banzai seemed to know a lot.

Pipo - Okay I'll flag down Banzai and see if he can help me.

>Ed's a seer, but good luck getting any info out of him, he's... Not exactly mute, but he may as well be. Intelligent beyond all reason, but unable to use his words.

Pipo - Okay I'll try him, Maybe I can get more than just insane laughter out of him?

>Pipo packs up and cleans up, leaving the scythe and robes behind.

>Peek on Eadoo
>Check up on Banzai
>Help Trixy
>Other

You have enough time for two small actions or one large one before the heist

>_ _ _

How about we discuss what Banzai will purchase for the caravan?

I think we should help out Trixy now. We did, after all, ask her to help out Alanna and Concu. I rather trust Banzai not to leap into anything he knows to be a con--as well as to actually RECOGNIZE a con. Sure, he's driven by greed and will instinctively jump at the chance to make money, but if he does, it would surely mean he trusts it to be a good source of money, yeah?

We need to find a use for those robes and skull necklace, those things are badass!

To Banzai! I want to see this conman for myself.

Go check on banzai

Check up on Eadoo, then Banzai

Let's go to Trixy, since we owe Concu our help.

>You check up on Banzai, who's speaking to Kurt. a tall, bulky, pale skinned man, who speaks as if he had one too many tongues in his mouth.

Kurt - I found the lizards in a caravan, I saved them from the owlbear.

Banzai - That's very brave and noble of you.

Kurt - They loves me~

Banzai - I'm sure they do. Say, Mister Kurt, As your investor I feel the need to ask... Where did you get that bump on your head?

Kurt - Me momma booped me when I bit her tit too hard...

Banzai - I see... Well... Shall we see these lizards?

Kurt - Okay

>The man stumbles downstairs and brings back a small cage containing two dark red lizards and an egg. He reaches in and grabs one of the two, it hisses and bites his hand flaring up its frills.

Kurt - Hehee, it loves me, he gives me kisses and wags his tail like a dog~

>The lizard hisses louder as his throat and belly turn bright red like hot iron. Banzai looks worried...

Banzai - Eum... Mister Kurt... Do you know what kinda of lizard that is?

Kurt - It's a happy lizard~

Banzai - Eum... not quite... that's a Kairylian hot foot salamander...

Kurt - His name is Mander~ and his wife is Sally~

Banzai - Are you aware of how big they get?

Kurt - No?

Banzai - Well... I don't think you are equipped to deal with them then, because they grow to be as big as horses and breathe fire.

Kurt - Cool!

Banzai - Mister kurt, your idea of a wooden pen with plenty of bugs wont cut it, I simply don't believe you have what is needed for me to invest into your busyness.

Kurt - ooh... That's a shame...

Banzai - But! I will speak to my friends and I think they would be very happy to hear what we learned today. Perhaps I could buy Sally and Mander off of you? At the very least to keep you from burning your house down... Say... 2 gold pieces each and 10 silver for the egg? That is market price for a breading pair.

Kurt - Wow! Yeah I'll sell!

Banzai - Very good, permit me to speak to my friends first. *Gatling, I've got a hook... Did you hear all of that?*

>_ _ _

We must have the fire dragons!

>>623915
Not quite dragons, more like Drakes. Grounded, non-flying Drakes.
Heheh, lovely~
Honestly, Gatling, asking us if buying a reptile that breaths fire is a pointless question, the answer is going to be a clear, resounding, yes.

Off topic, we spoke with Pipo, and he says he wants a fairer "God of Justice," and we suggested Yurra. He was surprisingly willing to chance talking to Ed about it, but in case that doesn't go well, you may need to help him out on that.

Raising a small army of fire-spitting giant lizards might be extremely useful against invaders, especially if you place the right traps.

Sounds like a good idea. We have allies who can handle and train lizards. The two adults will be breeders for now, but train up the baby lizards to become full-fledged guard pets.

Alright, let's stay with Banzai until the heist and see what other deals he can find.

Buybuybuybuybuybuybuybuy

>>623903
As far as trades go this is downright heroic Banzai.

How long do we have to get these lovelies a fireproof lair, and how smart can they become?

Banzai - Okay, mister Kurt, I will buy them for the aforementioned price and I will pay 4 copper pieces for the cage.

Kurt - thanks you sir!

Banzai - Pleasure doing busyness with you~

>>624032
>As far as trades go this is downright heroic Banzai.

Banzai - *It's probably more money then this poor sots even seen, I could of payed him far less if i wanted, but I'd have nightmares for weeks, I just can't abuse of the dumb, it's not in me. Don't worry, this is on me, I'll pay for these investments and claim ownership over the ranch, and you'll have a hotfoot ranch at your disposal, fair as fair.*

>How long do we have to get these lovelies a fireproof lair, and how smart can they become?

Banzai - Hard to tell, I don't know how old these little fellows are, they're babies clearly... They had them where I studied in trade, the royal soldiers rode around on them... From what I understand of them, they grow up fast and breed slowly, Maybe 3 or 4 months they'll have a growth spurt and boom they'll get real big. I think hey grow the fire tongues last and they can climb on walls, to my memory... and the're a bit smarter than horses, they can be trained for war or hunting and some even know tricks.

>>623939
>see what other deals he can find.

Banzai - I doubt I'll be finding any deals at this hour.

>>623930
>Off topic, we spoke with Pipo, and he says he wants a fairer "God of Justice," and we suggested Yurra.

Banzai - Oh? Good! That's a good choice on his behalf, Orcus is... less savory than Yurra... I can tell him a fair deal about it.. But I'm not quite versed in the priesthood of Yurra. I'd be a better guide if he was to be a son of Yurra... eer... Paladin if you will.

>He was surprisingly willing to chance talking to Ed about it

Banzai - Well Ed does know the rituals, he would be the best choice if Pipo wants to be a priest. But he's hard to talk to... Not to say impossible! At times he can convey his words very clearly. Thought... not thought speech... he... how to say... When he clears through the madness and gives you one of those stares... you know exactly what he's trying to say...

you have enough time for a single short action.

>Peep on Eadoo
>Plan your body with Aiden
