Apologize to him in advance because you're going to bombard him with a bunch of questions!

Ask him if he knows where you can find a working Waystone? Or is the broken one in his shop the only Waystone in town?

Ask how the phone you were using works? Was it a part of his Dare power or was it a Summon? And how did it reform when you smashed it?

Can his Dare ability only work with phones?

Ask him what he's working on?

You'd like to borrow some jackrabbit porn.

Or you'd like to know if he fancies anyone.

Or maybe he could actually teach you something instead of just brushing you off with a "you have to learn this ^&*( on your own" speech.

Teach me to Dare.

You: What's that Dare ability you have ? Is it some sort demon summon ? If it is then why couldn't I sense it ? Is it some sort of Aberrant Summon ?

Burqel: No, a few years back I did a little research on how demons function as living beings and managed to find something interesting. You see, with enough work it is possible to physically cross over to the Aether.

You: Shit really ? You've been there ?

Burqel: Well I haven't myself but a scout brought something back. Apparently there are demonic beings that are unsummonable even by way of Aberrant Summon designing, the scout brought back a demonic plant specimen and from that I was able to grow Dare over the course of about three years.

You: Incredible!

Burqel: The problem is Dare need's three phones to work, the phone I had, the phone my wife had, and the phone you were being targeted through. It's inaccurate and very unlikely that it'll work unless a lot of planning goes into making it happen.

Burqel: So if you wanted to make it work you'd need a big enough demonic sample, three phones, two skilled enough pagans to operate two phones, and three or four years to grow the stuff with your blood.

You: Hmm, okay then, and are there any waystones around here ?

Burqel: Besides the broken one at the shop no, and even then it's only the shell you'd need someone incredibly knowledgeable in that sort of technology to fix it. I couldn't help you, it's some sort of mix of technology and magic.

>>832592
Ada could probably fix it, but we have no way to reach her and return at the moment. Ask him if he knows any spells you could learn.

Hey uh, what's the Aether like?

Offer to take a look at the stone.

>>832592
>Besides the broken one at the shop no, and even then it's only the shell you'd need someone incredibly knowledgeable in that sort of technology to fix it. I couldn't help you, it's some sort of mix of technology and magic.
Ada could probably fix that!

Oh, wait, we can't mention anything Ada told us to anyone. She's trying to keep that a secret. And even if she did agree, she's still a business woman, so she's probably going to charge a huge amount of money to fix it!

So, no mentioning Ada's name, Arcamachina, or The Unter, to anyone!

Maybe if we look at a map we could find- no wait, that won't work either. The Unter's location is a secret to the Church and the best way to avoid the Church is to not have your city printed on a map!

Crap, I guess we can't do anything with that broken Waystone for now.

Ask how the door works and if it could be used to send you to the previous pagan safe location and back. If it can you could basically walk the waystone to Ada and back once fixed.

I might know someone, but I'll need to get back to Ender Port or find another working Waystone to get back to them.

Could you mark the approximate location in the Wastes you found it? Even if I get it to the technician there are likely more parts That I'll need to retrieve before they can fix it.

>>832610
It would be much easier if we brought Ada with us to identify the parts. But since she's not going to leave her shop, unless she's willing to take a few days off to come and help us, we really are gonna have to use Issei's really big bag to haul a bunch of parts to her!

Then again, Burqel's shop is a bunch of random junk found out in the Wastes, so he might already have the parts to fix it in the back of his shop. But he wouldn't know if he's got them or not because he doesn't know what the parts look like. Again, it all comes down to us needing Ada to identify the parts.

.....huh, I guess that's something we can ask Ada about next time we visit her. Did her people invent the Waystones and Waykeys?

Also, mention to Burqel that you figured it was 2 different people texting you, since you kept getting texts that were switching back and forth between complete sentences and "text talk".

And ask Burqel how he convinced Clancy to let him use the back of his shop for that ambush he had set up? Is Clancy also a Pagan?

>>832613
Even if any parts we find aren't the right ones, Ada might have some herself. It's just that parts in general are rare and expensive. She might be willing to part with some of her own stock if we bring her something to trade.

ALso, can Burquel Help you with the Enhancement Ritual?
A new Spell or regaining Voyeuristic Globule would be nice.

You: Where did you find the waystone shell ? maybe there are more parts near it.

Burqel: What do you think I didn't search the whole area ? I scoured that patch of desert for hours and couldn't find anything else, I wouldn't just stop after finding something big like this.

You: well, I might know somebody who can fix the shell, but do I still need to pay for it ?

Burqel: I would prefer it, we do need money to keep things running here. It's one of the most valuable items that we can sell in the shop.

You: Alright...but, just to be fair you did almost kill me. I hate to be that guy but I can't just gloss over that part.

Burqel:...Listen I can't give you that shell for free, but what if I give you something just as useful if you keep your mouth shut ?

You: Like what ?

Burqel: I can either give you a list of Level 3 Summons to use, or I can give you one of the Demonic Samples I've obtained from the scouts.

You: And what can I do with a Demonic Sample ?

Burqel: With a little work and one of your weapons you can make a demonic weapon, which means it'll have an extra ability in addition to anything it already has. It'll be random but still effective. One or the other I can't give up both.

>With a little work and one of your weapons you can make a demonic weapon, which means it'll have an extra ability in addition to anything it already has. It'll be random but still effective.
Random bonus demon gun powers activating when we shoot things?

Hell yes.

If the weapon, say, a gun, doesn´t need special bulets, then go for that, i like shooting shit up, in fact, i think Gallous needs to shoot more shit up, because it's fun, and cheeper than summons materials.
If not, yay, more, better summons!
Did i mention that shooting is fun?

Summons. We don't have a single level 3 summon, that is a massive improvement. Also we need to remember that Gallows is a Rune Child, his speciality is summoning. Shooting things is a secondary skill and he's not inherently better at it than anyone else, so we shouldn't focus on it.

Can't we get a demonic sample from Fiddler Imp anyway?

>>832856

>>832856
Ask for the summon recipies.

>>832867
>Can't we get a demonic sample from Fiddler Imp anyway?
I'm not entirely sure that'll work. We could ask Burqel.

Also, how did Burqel get permission from Clancy to set up that ambush in the back of his shop? Is Clancy also a Pagan?

>>832867
Dang it... you are rigth, but i don't think that the imp will take kindly we taking parts off him.

The list of lvl 3 summons will eventually be available again while who knows when you'll get the chance for the Democratic sample again

>Can't we get a demonic sample from Fiddler Imp anyway?
Burqel: Summoned demons completely disappear back to the Aether upon death along with any part of them thats been removed, the demonic sample comes from a creature that cannot be summoned and thus does not disappear back to the Aether so it can be used for other purposes.

>Is Clancy also a Pagan?
Burqel: Yeah he is, but I didn't get permission. In fact he's probably gonna be pissed about that later...

>Level 3 Summons.
You decide to take the level 3 summon list, there are three demons included on the list.

Harvester: (100)Gold, Gemstone, Something Stolen
Small and fast demons that specialize in finding and collecting objects.

Choirkin: Tongue, (3)Teeth, Sugar, Something made of Fabric
Shy and timid demon that can cast protective barriers with its singing.

Fulgurbeast: (3)Pieces of Metal, Caustic Substance, (2)Animal Viscera, Something Conductive
Large beastly demon that can shoot bolts of lightning off of its fur.

I meant, can't Fiddler Imp bring us a sample?

>>832882
IS THAT A MOTHERFUNKING JOJO REFERENCE?!

>>832882
>Yeah he is, but I didn't get permission. In fact he's probably gonna be pissed about that later...
"Listen, I won't say anything if you don't say anything. Deal?"

Extend your hand for a handshake. Or in Burqel's case, a pawshake.

>Harvester: Small and fast demons that specialize in finding and collecting objects.
That'll be helpful. I don't know when it'll be helpful, but I'm sure we'll think of something.

>Choirkin: Shy and timid demon that can cast protective barriers with its singing.
Maybe Fiddler Imp and Choirkin could be a good musical duo?

And at the rate we keep getting music related summons, we'll eventually have enough of them to form a band! Then we could have a literal battle of the bands! XD

>Fulgurbeast: Large beastly demon that can shoot bolts of lightning off of its fur.
Now this guy looks downright terrifying! I like it!

>>832883
Still don't know if that'll work, but it honestly wouldn't hurt to ask. So let's ask that.

>>832885
Don't know what you're talking about. But whatever it is, then considering how often Heretic puts those things in the quest, the answer is most likely going to be "Yes".

>>832887

>can't Fiddler Imp bring us a sample?

Burqel: When you do a summon ritual you can only summon the demon the ritual was made for.A demon cannot bring anything it's carrying with it at the time of summoning.

You: -but Fiddler Imp always has a violin with it when it comes in. Why can he bring that with him ?

Burqel: Well there's one of two explanations: Either that violin is made out of his blood and is technically a part of him, or somebody gave it to him when he was summoned once.

Burqel: Certain demons have perfected a type of crafting that allows them to alter the state of their blood and create physical objects to use. They can make their blood harder or even thin enough to become string, and since the blood is part of them they can take it anywhere...

Burqel: -and if you give a demon something it can keep it and bring it back and forward with it to and from the Aether, that's really only a good idea if its an Aberrant Summon though since there's no guarantee that you'll summon the same regular demon twice.

Burqel: Anymore questions ?

>>832906
Are there any paying jobs we could do while we're waiting for Castle?

>>832908
Ooh! If we get enough pagans we should totally do an awesome raid on the church goons in town!

Know anything about Voodoo, or has there been any activity here?

like.. what are the odds of summoning a regular demon that still has like, a broken chair or a deck of cards that it picked up on a previous summon to our world?

>>832906
>Fiddler Imp's violin is either his blood or was given to him.
I've got a pretty good feeling that violin was given to him. And I think his previous summoner, this "Moji" guy, was the one that gave Fiddler Imp his violin!

>Anymore questions?
"Fiddler Imp is the only Aberrant Summon I've got, so I'm not sure if it's normal or not, but I just wanted to ask: Is it normal for summons to get attached to their summoners? Because when I first summoned Fiddler Imp, the little guy started to cry a little when he found out how many years had passed since his previous summoner had summoned him."

Hey cool, that means we could give Fiddler Imp objects for safekeeping. Nobody but a Pagan that knows how to play a violin could recover the item he's holding!

>more questions
Yeah, how does his wife do that perfect invisibility thing?

Oh hey, we could get Fiddler Imp out and have him ask about his old master, and what happened to him.

>>832909
How about no? After we burned down one of their buildings, they're probably on high alert!

So let's not recklessly try and provoke them anymore than we already have!

>>832914
After we're done talking to Burqel, we should let Roland go take that nap he wanted to take. He needs to rest so that he can recover the blood that he used today and so that he won't fall asleep in the middle of his important conversation with Castle when he shows up!

We don't need to worry about anything. If something comes up, Troy will give Roland a call on the walkie if he needs help.

>>832916
If Burqel asks who it is, then we can tell him the guy's name was Moji.

Who knows? We might get lucky and it turns out that Moji was a famous Pagan and we'll be able to find out more about him!

Just don't get your hopes up on that actually happening.

Fiddler Imp: Heya Gal! Looks like dere ain't much goin' on right now whatcha need?

It's not what I need little buddy. You need anything? Mundane items to bring back to the Aether, information from the Pagan colony?

What's the Aether like anyway?

>>832922
Ask him if he knows the limit of strengthening our connection to him. Will his form here eventually match his form in the Aether?

>>832922
"For once, I didn't summon you to a fight. I just thought you'd appreciate that. I was kinda curious, what was Moji like? And was he the one that gave you your violin?"

Maybe even ask how it was decided that the song that's played to summon him would be the song that summons him? Is it a song he likes or is it how the notes are arranged or what?

If he asks why we've got a sudden interest in Moji, I think you should tell him that you were just curious, that's all.

Maaayybe we could find a grave or something so that he could pay some last respects or something like that?

Just don't pressure him into talking about Moji if he doesn't want to talk about him!

After all that, how about you offer for both of you to just play a few songs as a duet? It'll be nice to play without having to worry about getting shot, right?

>>832928
>Will his form here eventually match his form in the Aether?
I think his form here is the form he has in the Aether.

When we first upgraded him, he immediately noticed the changes before we summoned him and then complained that we took so long to summon him so that he could show off his new looks.

Nothing. Just want to hang out with you.
How have you been? What's the Aether like?

Honestly Fiddler Imp is my favourite of your summons so far, he talks, he can play music and he has a personality that isn't ok ill go do that. If you could ever entre his home the Aether its possible that he may actually be one of the only demons that would show you around instead of killing/eating you. Try your hardest to become Fiddler Imp's best friend, because he is cool and could teach you so much.

Holy shit Fulgurbeast is awesome

But no real reason just wanted to hang out and chat! About Moji, the Aether, Athmoor, whatever.

Fiddler: Nah I wasn't up ta nothin' I can talk, but first ya gotta buy me a drink yeah?

You and Fiddler pass by the front counter and order him a glass of Orange juice, after that you find a free couch to sit at and talk.

You: So, I was wondering about Moji, the person that summoned you before, did he give you that violin ?

Fiddler: Eh? Yeah, he taught me how ta play it too. He his name ain't Moji by the way, I just called him dat cuz he hated it. His name was Mason Anthem and his pagan name was Mojo, he was crazy 'bout violin.

Fiddler: He didn't even mean ta summon me when he did, he was just playin' outside and I somehow heard through in the Aether. We was both pretty surprised then I tell ya. *sip* Then I asked 'im how ta play and he taught me, simple as dat. Had ta make me dis violin first den I painted it red cuz I like red.

>Dat's dat, dere's a lot more to talk about but I really don't feel like it.
"That's ok, you don't have to."

"How about you and me play a few songs together to pass the time?"

What about you?
What do you do over there in the aether?
Got a name of your own?
Friends? Family?

I got it.
What do you do when you are not been summoned?

Hey, you can actually try and summon somthing alse by playing, try to consentrate in the Aether, and listen to it, like Moji did. If not maybe you can learn something else.

Cool! Mojo sounds like he was a good dude.

Jam session to kill time?

Also we should look into more Abberant summons, I like having recurring summons.

Sounds like he was a good guy, I wish we could have met him. How about a song for him? To honor his memory and the memory of all those we’ve lost.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBBCF9hxBUI

>>832949
So does he want to ask the pagan colony what happened to Mojo?

Offer him some snacks, see what happens if he eats them in the Aether.

I wonder what would happed if you asked if you could go with Fiddler Imp when he leaves.

>>833053
Nothing, because I doubt that'll work.

And if it did work, then good job, you just got us trapped in the Aether and we'd be unable to get back out to reset the world!

>>833063
Well he could make sure someone else can summon the imp back with the sheet music.

>>833073
Yeah, but they'd need to know how to play the violin. I certainly don't want to risk the chance nobody knows how to play the violin!

Fiddler: Wat's most important is dat ya don't go near Mortis dens. Dem giant bastards can kill a demon fer good, dey don't go anywhere near ya unless ya go near dem dens.

You: Sounds rough.

Fiddler: Nah it ain't to bad. Plenty of the bigger, stronger, smarter demons can deal wit em well, dey taste great too so dat's a plus.

Fiddler seems upset after his comment about death, probably thinking about Moji's death. Come to think of it with a full name you may be able to ask about his last known whereabouts.

You: Hey, maybe when we get the time we can ask about where Moji was last seen and see what we can find ?

Fiddler: Really!? Y-yes! let's do dat! I mean we probably ain't gonna find much but...It's definitely betta den nothin'!

That definitely cheered him up, the only thing that could make him happier is a song, but what should you play ? Anything as long as it's a duet should be fine...

You begin and Fiddler follows quickly, he can pick up a tune nice and quick. The song you play is high energy fast in some places but one you've practiced a lot on your own, you can help but dance along with your playing and Fiddler follows your lead. You two sort of forget there are other people around, eventually someone turns down the volume on the radio so they can hear you playing better. Soon enough everyone in the breakroom is watching you two play.

As the song finishes the small crowd of people cheer and applaud you, you were so focused on playing you didn't notice Troy walk in with Uma.

Ask these after the encore.....if there is one.

Well, we know Troy's got an old bass guitar and we know Issei can whistle along, so it would be pretty nice if Uma could sing!

But she seems like she might be a little shy, so if she doesn't want to sing, let's not pressure her into performing.

>>833209
Although, to be honest, I'd rather keep this as a duet between Roland and Fiddler for now.

Maybe we can play something to get some people to get up and dance? Maybe even get Troy and Uma to dance with each other? ~

while you have some downtime make some summoning packs also it may not be super important but find a herbalist and get a mortar and pestle you could make things out of like poisons or medicinal things (obviously wouldn't be as effective as actual medicine or medical treatment but it could be useful if you are in a situation where you cant play healing music or had no access to good medicine etc)

As good as another song sounds you were already pretty tired to begin with, sleep sounds good right now.

You show your group to their rooms: you and Troy share one, Issei and Uma get separate ones.

Troy: Hey Gal...what do you think Castles gonna show us ? Freitast told me that we were getting closer to something dangerous, d'ya think it could be that ?

>>833291
I wonder what kind of demon is supposed to be on that poster?

>Hey Gal...what do you think Castles gonna show us? Freitast told me that we were getting closer to something dangerous, d'ya think it could be that?
"I've got no idea, but I've got a feeling that we're gonna find out, whether we want to or not."

It might be something in the Aether itself.

>>833291
It might be that they discovered something going into the Aether.

>>833291
I dunno what he's gonna show us.... But I don't think it's what Freitast was talking about, unfortunately.

With us, the danger is always unexpected.

If there is a danger then we will get through it. As long as we stay as a group then i'm confident we can pull through.

You: Honestly ? I doubt it. With us danger is always unexpected, unless we know exactly what it is we're just going to have to be prepared for it.

You pull the Azerite out of your pocket and stare at it for a while. Eventually you doze off.

...

Man's Voice: This is getting ridiculous, Leighton and Ann are both gone. It's like they just think they don't have to report in to their high priest. Whitney, where were their last known whereabouts ?

Young Girl's Voice: Leighton was sent on a mission by our Bishop to find heretics in Ebony Port

Man's Voice: -and I wasn't informed of this ?!

Young Girl's Voice: Of course not, you know the Ministry barely trusts us. Of course they have the right to be suspicious.

Man's Voice: Fine...and where's Ann ?

Young Girl's Voice: I actually don't know sir. We haven't seen her since she was sent to deal with that pagan alert near Gudon.

Man's Voice: Dammit! It's not going to look good if we keep losing Priests! I though it was you're job to keep track of the Whitney!

Deep Voice: Karas is missing too...

Mans Voice: What!? Son of a bitch! We're never going to get this plan started if half of our team is gone somewhere we don't know about!

Young Girl's Voice: Calm down Gunner, we still have the support of Circle Ezekiel and Circle Mikael. Besides we have no idea if Ann or Karas were okay with the plan, Karas was sort of a creep anyway...

Deep Voice: I saw both Ann and Karas 'fore they went quiet...

Young Girls Voice: You should of said something dummy! Gunner's gonna blow a fuse.

Deep Voice: Ann was talkin' 'bout the pagan she was chasin' and from the sound of it Karas went to check 'im out.

Young Girl's Voice: See Gunner? We have a lead I'll get stuff prepared and you can go rest, that vein in your foreheads popping out again.

Man's Voice:...We need everything to go smoothly, it doesn't help that the Church is starting to make a move on some unknown lead. Everybody needs to stay one hundred percent focused on the plan. Djuna get Ezekiel and Mikael on the messengers.

Deep Voice: Right boss!

Man's Voice: Report to me if you find out anything about this pagan or about the whereabouts of Leighton, Ann, and Karas. Amen ?

Deep Voice/Young Girl's Voice: Amen.

Man's Voice: Good. Dismissed.

[END CHAPTER 7]

>>833441
Has Gallows Ever thought about giving the Azerite to fiddler imp for safe keeping instead of walking around with it in his pocket becouse that seems safer with the whole thing of it not being within reach of those who aren't pagans.

>>833441
>You pull the Azerite out of your pocket and stare at it for a while. Eventually you doze off.
Roland, you fool! Don't fall asleep with it in your hand! You're gonna end up dropping it!

>>833459
But then if Roland ever gets captured or killed and none of the other Pagans know that he gave the Azurite to Fiddler Imp, then no one would ever get it back!

Besides, I wouldn't be surprised if another demon sees Fiddler Imp carrying the Azurite and they come and mug him and steal it! Then we'd never find it again!

>>833459
That's basically the equivalent of stuffing a nuke in an eldritch location where the laws of physics, including the electrical system that the bomb is regulated by, have been @#$%ed in the ass:

Don't.

>>833466
I'm with you on this one. That's a baaaad idea.

So many groups, man, this is going to be really complicated from now on, we are starting to get a bit more powerful, but our enemies are going to start to push us even harder, we need to get even more stronger! Speaking of which, souldn't at least Troy and Gallows level up?

Wait, what happened with Ann? She bested us and I don't remember a second confrontation.

>>833518
Pretty sure Issei took care of her.

>>833518
>What happened to Ann?
>>833524
>Issei took care of her.
Correct, Issei took care of her, but he didn't kill her, since Karas said that Ann was the one that told him about us.

What happened, as told by Issei here: >>/questarch/806338 , is that he caught her off guard, picked her up, and then just flung her as far as he could.

She probably thinks Issei was a summoned demon. He beat her up, so she thinks she lost to one of Gallows' summons.
