Look around first, you know, in the sky, around you, as far as you can see for anything unusual.

Okay, I did sound like a dick. I just think she should take a bit of a break from the quest to collect herself.

"Hello there."

"Wow holy shit what happened to you, also do you need some help? Wait no thats a stupid question."

>>74699
Red eyes means demon, right?
Ask him what happened.

Make him swear his life to your service and then remove the sword.

>>74699
Well, fuck. What kinda goddamn world do you live in anyway? I hope this is just due to your mind being a bit frayed right now. If not... Well, what else have you got to lose, really?

Ask why hes not sliding down the sword.

Introduce yourself, then offer your help.

>>74699
If you pull the sword, you will become queen!

"Exactly what it looks like. I had the unfortunate luck to be feeding on human carrion just when a group of hunters stumbled upon me. The worst happened, naturally."

He pauses.

"My moral compass is not strong enough to make me any less hungry looking at that arm, by the way. Not to be impolite if that happens to be the arm of someone you felt strongly about, in which case I apologize for your loss."

>>74714
Wait... What arm? Are you carrying one around?

>>74714
Er... um... is your moral compass strong enough that you'll swear to obey me if I help you?

>>74718

He was just giving an example.

>>74714
Tell him you met one of his kind already. He turned into a crow and ate Walter.

>>74718
She's carrying Walter's arm.
It was near her on the ground. He was probably reaching out to her as the crow demon tore him apart.

>>74714
Well, at least he's polite. You're not still carrying the arm, are you?

You look strong. It would be good to have that strength. Swear that you'll serve me. Swear it upon your true name and upon your hunger. Swear it upon your power and your will. Swear that you'll serve me and I'll release you. Betray me and I shall see that this punishment is but a trifling compared to what someone with imagination can put you through.

"I'm a scavenger, not a servant. If you release me, I'll just relieve you of that arm, whatever emotional or important value it may have, and be on my way. I doubt it's what you really want to hear, but I was told humans appreciate honesty."

He frowns bitterly, seeming to recall something.

"Though it's not like It'll be long before I get shoved into another bridge or tossed off a cliff or whatever the humans feel like because I was shoving corpses down my throat. You don't see people get all pissy when the mountain lions do it. I just can't win with you people."

Has he ever heard the term "manners"?

>>74739
serve me and I'll see to it that no one harms you, provided you stay in line.

>>74739
You should help him. He is in need. But first bury that arm where he can’t find it and make a grave.

>>74739
You can have the arm if you come with me, and I won't let anybody stick you under a bridge or push you off a cliff... :<

Don't think we can get a servant out of the demonthing. He does have a point, but... Er, I don't know where I'm going with this.

Ask him if he can eat mountain lion corpses.

>>74756
Nonesense. Demons make the best servents. We just have to make him swear loyalty and never ever trust him to be able to overcome his natural instincts. If we use them to our advantage however, we should be good and have a powerful ally.

Why are you carrying the arm, anyways? Are you just going kraaaazy, or do you need a bodypart for ressurrecti-hey is this a high magic setting? Well, if it is, take a finger or something, then toss him the rest of the arm. If not, toss him the arm. He seems a decent enough fellow.

After a quick thanks, the demon gets right to work on the arm. Maria keeps the armband.

They sit in silence, no sound from either besides his snorts of gratification for what he is eating.

So how often will we need to feed him to keep him in line?

>>74787
The war fortress is still pretty far away, right?
You should probably look for some spot around here to get some sleep and then keep moving in the morning.
Ask the demon to guard you while you sleep... I'm assuming demons don't need to.

>>74787
Take the sword and let the demon use it. Then be on your way.

If walter miraculously turns out to be alive uh...you might want to omit this part of the story when recanting your adventures.

>>74787
Wear the armband in Walter's memory. ;___;

>>74787
Oh, and ask him for his name.

Well, I suppose that works. Remember, do not in any way expect him to be contrary to his nature. If you keep that in mind you should be fine. Assuming you have your mental faculties again. Which I doubt at this point.

Now make him swear an oath of service.
Demons are weird like that. Best to get his word.

Make him our slave. Promise him plenty of dead bodies as we take over the world and bring it under our control.
