Your whole body shakes as he once again plunges deep into you, his crotch slapping against you one last time. As the orgasm washes over you, you let out a silent scream while your legs almost gives out from under you as you’re forced to stop your ride of Karn’s cock. He whines a bit as you do so and starts to weakly hump against you, but the awkward position make it hard to pick up any speed or rhythm.

Ahnnggt… D-Danus…
F-fuck… don’t s-stop… I’m g-getting close…

Ema, you fool! Don’t say someone’s name when you’re fucking someone else! That’s just plain rude and a very good way to hurt Karn’s feelings! I know this is your 2nd time having sex, but come on, even Oran would know not to do that and he’s a freaking virgin!

You should be saying, “Ahnnggt…K-Karn…”

>Ahnnggt… D-Danus…
Damn Ema, you really fall your that sugar daddy, didn't you? Any way, don't say other people's names when you are fucking someone else, is fucking rude, you animal.

I think you should go for a male body, you already have to many female bodies. And a red scaled one will be nice too, a good contrast to your original blue.

And for the love of Gods, don't transform while you are fucking him, please.

Male Red scaled

This new form is an excellent opportunity to fuck with Drago. Either we can be his long lost sibling or an younger version of the guy he is into. As much as I love the sibling farce we got to be green scale young Danus to maximize the chances of sex.

If it wasn't for Drago I would prefer a more discreet female form for the rare occasions Ema choose the subtle approach, but that seem an unlikely possibility with few adantages when compared to securing a new source of food.

Female, green scaled.

Male, Red scaled. We already have a female form it's the one we've got.

Also don't transform mid-coitus.

Red Female.

Look like daddy's girl.

Red. Looking like him is probably going to be unnerving to him. Female will make you appear to be more of a 'hot monster' than 'soul stealing doppleganger monster'

Green is more common I think, easier to blend in.

Your legs finally give out, forcing Karn to hilt himself inside you as you slam into him, knocking him over the edge.

>Damn Ema, you really did fall for your sugar daddy, didn't you?
J-just because your mind w-went to him when you… um… it d-doesn’t’ mean anything… r-right?
>Ema, you fool! Don’t say someone’s name when you’re fucking someone else!
It kind of just happened in the heat of things! You didn’t mean to do it… hopefully he didn’t actually hear it. You don’t think he did… he seemed too focused on his own release to really notice.
>Karn-ivore.
You’ve already eaten… and gotten fed in the other way as well, so you’re in no need to eat him right now. You’ll eat him later… unless he noticed you moaning the wrong name, then you might just gobble him up real quick to skip all the awkwardness.

>Also did we de-bird during sex?
You de-birded before sex. Apparently, being in one form for too long is tiresome… besides, Karn’s hateboner for Vivi kind of went soft after all that running around and worrying for Oran.
>This will let us seduce Danus' son.
Hmm… another food source, huh? You have to wonder if he’s a pitcher or catcher… probably a pitcher, seeing how much of a manly man he is.
>Don't transform mid-coitus.
Of course not, that would be rude. Besides, you’re not sure what would happen if you transformed while he was inside you and you rather not experiment with that right now.

Speaking of experiments, you have a lot to do that’s actually important, don’t you?
-You need to bring whoever attacked your village to Justice…
-You might want to go to that Herbalist to ask about the three stones, the ones that strange person with Hugo’s mask asked you to get. Either to actually help it… or to get closer to it so you can enact Justice.
-You also need to check the library for information about Dalriver, your village.
-You need to eat the Baroness, too. She belongs in your tummy, after all.
-Oh, and it might be prudent to test out your new forms… especially the male one. You still have no idea how a male form really… feels.
-Also, where the heck are your clothes any-

C-can you s-stop moving y-your hips and let m-me pull out? I’m s-still super sensitive down there, Ema…

Herbalist or library. Library is better for shapeshifting experinebtation, less people watching.

>>903866
Give him a few more quick pumps just to show him who's boss.
We'll check the herbalist and library when we're clean and dressed.

>>903866
>C-can you s-stop moving y-your hips and let m-me pull out? I’m s-still super sensitive down there, Ema…
That’s enough Ema, let him pull out. If you hurt him too much, then he won’t want to do this with you anymore.

Go look for your clothes, since you can’t exactly leave to go anywhere until you’re wearing something.

>C-can you s-stop moving y-your hips and let m-me pull out? I’m s-still super sensitive down there, Ema…
Oh fine, i'll let you go... for now.
Let's go and talk to that herbalist. And where are yout godsdamn clothes!
Oh, ask Karn if he has any male clothes to spare, you could use some later for your male form.

Eat him through your pussy and shoot him out of your nose.

>>903951
No, don’t be weird.

Keep riding. Make him your bitch like a good boy should be.

>Give him a few more quick pumps just to show him who's boss.
He’s already started to go flaccid when you renew your mating of him, your movements quickly makes his member grow to full once again. You hear him whine a bit as he squirms under you, but he doesn’t try to stop you. Instead, he grabs a hold of your hips and starts to thrust against you, meeting you halfway each time you let yourself down onto him.
D-dammit Ema!

>We'll check the herbalist and library when we're clean and dressed.
Well, of course you’re going to get cleaned before you leave. You can’t very well go around town dripping with Karn’s virile seed, now can you?
>Library is better for shape shifting experimentation, less people watching.
You’re not going to go around shape shifting where someone might catch you without good reason. Besides, the testing you really wanted to do is… kind of private?
>Let's go and talk to that herbalist.
Getting to the bottom of who the fuck… or better yet, what the fuck those things are that attack your village is your highest priority! Right after riding the fuck out of Karn so he can feed you all his delicious seed!

Gah! W-where d-did you get all t-this energy from s-suddenly!? S-slow down!
Nope~
Fff… fuck…

>Eat him through your pussy and shoot him out of your nose.
…wait, can you even do that? You’re not sure you can actually get someone out from you after you’ve eaten them… especially from another entrance completely… not to mention you’re not sure how eating someone down there will even work!? It’s not like it’s connected to your stomach and- you know what, you’ll think about this later.
>That’s enough Ema, let him pull out.
By now the room is filled with the sound of his ballsack slapping against your tush, as well as his tired grunts each time he thrust against you. Maybe it’s for the best to let him rest for a bit…
H-hey! D-don’t freaking stop n-now!
Or not.
>If you hurt him too much, then he won’t want to do this with you anymore.
It’s clear that it isn’t hurting him… in fact, you’re pretty sure it has the opposite reaction. This is only confirmed when he forces you down on him, hilting you while his cock starts to throb inside you…

[Small sample of Sakkilian protein obtained!]

Gah… y-you’re evil, you know that?
Heh… admit it, you did enjoy that, didn’t you?

>Go look for your clothes, since you can’t exactly leave to go anywhere until you’re wearing something.
After your… feeding time, you leave Karn to get some rest while you clean yourself up. You still have no idea where your clothes are though, so you better find Oran and ask him where-

I… I s-still t-think I got another e-egg in me…
T-that’s w-what y-you said t-the last t-two eggs! C-can’t w-we just snuggle or s-something instead!? I d-don’t think I c-can… h-handle… ah…
We’ll snuggle after y-you’re full. Now b-be a good incubator and t-take this… mmm… egg~
Ngg… FUCK! Ah… ah… ngg… f-fuck… ah…
Ah… t-that was… oh… I… I t-think I feel another egg…
*Incoherent gibberish*

…or maybe you’ll just give him some privacy for now. Now, let’s think… where would Oran put your clothes? Where do you usually have clothes? In a dresser? Or a closet… wait, weren’t there a closet right outside his lab? Duh… of course…

-----------------

Nice, my old clothes fit on this new form of mine. Well, mostly… kind of tight in places but…
W-wait, who is that!? Did y-you… um…
I can make forms from parts of what others have fed me through sex… like you just did.
…so that’s… me? Wait, those scales… you didn’t… Danus?
Maybe~
Really… so I got sloppy seconds to that old man, huh?
He’s not some old man, you jerk.
Sorry… and… um… can you change back to Ema? It’s kind of creepy seeing someone that… kind of looks like me like that?
As soon as I’m done feeling it out…

>Oh, ask Karn if he has any male clothes to spare, you could use some later for your male form.
Huh? I can’t just give away a bunch of clothes. Besides, I only got one pair over here at Oran’s place anyway.
…why do you have a pair of clothes at his place anyway?
Because I use his guest room from time to time? And it’s not that uncommon that he spill his liquids all over my chest either.
*snrk*
You know I meant his potions, Ema, no need to be childish. So… what’ his name anyway?
Huh?
This new form? You can’t go around being called Ema, right?
Oh… um… right… what is my name?

[Name your new form {Male Red Sakkilian}?]

Then it’s off to the herbalist...

>>904107
William

Clearly, the only correct choice is to call yourself Sunad in this form.

Hmmm, Eliot? Evan? I can't think of any names with E. Besides i like those two.
Ask Karn if he wants to come with you, since i doubt he wants to wait until Oran is done. Good for Oran!
I insist that you will need new clothes, you can't use Ema's clothes with this new body, that would be suspicius.

>>904107
How about Elric?

>>904107
>Danus + Karn
Darn? Kanus?

Straight up just call yourself Oran.

>[Name your new form {Male Red Sakkilian}?]

Earl.

Call Karn shorty.

What time is it, anyway?

>Sounds of Oran and Tunu having sex.
Sounds like he’s not a virgin anymore. But you did kind of imply to Karn that you’d have sex with Oran, so next time you should be ready to fuck him.

.....although judging by what you’re hearing in there, you might have to wait a while before Oran will be ready for you, he’s gonna be way too sore for sex anytime soon.

>He’s not some old man, you jerk.
Further defend Danus by stating that any girl would be lucky to have him, they just need to get their heads out of their asses about his age.

Also, let Karn know that Danus obviously doesn’t know about what you are, so yeah, don’t mention anything to him.

>can you change back to Ema? It’s kind of creepy seeing someone that…kind of looks like me like that?
Joke with Karn about telling everyone that you and him are distant cousins to explain why you sorta look like each other. Of course, you’re not actually going to do that, since it’s doubtful anyone would believe it.

>Name for new form?
Joke with Karn about combining his name and Danus’ name. But then be serious and state your new form’s name will be Elric.

So, what’s Karn going to do, wait here for Oran or go somewhere else? Or is he going to follow you because he’s still suspicious of you?

And this should be obvious but wherever you decide to go don’t forget your swords!

>Kanus
Hey that's actually not that bad.

Voting against anything strongly based upon Danus or Karn's names.

Drat, and here you were hoping you would be able to steal it from him. But no matter… as long as he’s happy so…
>But you did kind of imply to Karn that you’d have sex with Oran, so next time you should be ready to fuck him.
You only promised him to give Oran a good time… which he apparently are currently having. Of course, you might just fuck Oran later anyway to feed yourself…

Hey! You’re a woman, of course you’re taller than me!
Not right now, I aren’t.
You’re still just as tall as your normal form.
Hmm… you’re right… maybe I can make myself a bit shorter? Hmm…
>Further defend Danus by stating that any girl would be lucky to have him, they just need to get their heads out of their asses about his age.
I’m pretty sure the “he have an adult child” part is more damning to most. But I’m sure he can find someone his own age that is willing to overlook that.
…or someone younger…
Or someone desperate to fulfill her daddy fantasies.
HEY!
>Let Karn know that Danus obviously doesn’t know about what you are, so yeah, don’t mention anything to him.
I’m pretty sure no one would believe me anyway… or they’ll just think I’m crazy and make me disappear like all the other loons around here.

>Ask Karn if he wants to come with you, since i doubt he wants to wait until Oran is done.
Eh… I mean… I was going to check out the festival a bit more but… that’s boring to do alone. Where were you going again?
To a herbalist just outside town. It’s not that far.
Well… I guess I don’t have anything better to do?
Then it’s a date!
Right…
>Don’t forget your swords!
Don’t worry, you’ve found an excellent place to store them when you don’t need them.

…also, did I see you eat your own freaking swords earlier?
…yes?
Why wou- you know what, I don’t want to know. Let’s just go.

--------------

The two of you head of too one of the city gates, discussing the festival as you walk. Apparently, he is looking forward to trying out some of the more exotic foods there later. You pass the gate and find yourself outside the city walls, a small sign directing you to an even smaller path are the only indication that this herbalist lives out here and that it’s not just an endless sea of wilderness. As you start to walk down the path you meet someone coming from the other way…

…it’s the man of the night, the one who promised to help you with that guard. As he sees you surprise flashes across his face, which is quickly replaced by a smile of pure malice. He tries to hide it, but you saw it, you’re certain of it.

Oh, greetings.
Hello…

You can smell his soul darkens as he passes the two of you… what is he planning?

So… you two have history or…?
In a way, yes.

A small hut, not much bigger than your old room, is all that is out here. As you enter, the smell of herbs and species almost drowns you, the air filled with a thick haze of barely noticeable smoke. Before you even have time to adjust yourself, an old Hiver lady walks up to you.

Ah! Welcome! Welcome! I am Kr’inka, how can I be of assistance?
*Cough* Um…
Oh, but of course! I think I understand!
We haven’t e-
Don’t you worry, young man, no need to be shy. You and your girlfriend here want some bitterleaf so you can consummate your love, correct?

Don’t you worry, young ones. I’ll just brew up some tea for the young lady and it will take care of it, free of charge. But… if you aren’t here for that… then why are you here?

Praise be the kaktus! WE ARE NOT WORTHY!!

I don't like that! Ask the herbalist about him.

We will have to keep an eye for that meat. I am not going to bother not calling him meat, his soul is starting to get wicked, so might as well.

>bitterleaf
Ema, you can't get pregnat, you are an undead, don't worry about it, you ate his seed, you didn't put it in your woum.

We have a common friend, herbalist. He told me to ask you about some stones that are of great importance.

The last icon in the last update was supposed to be Kr’inka, our new lady bug friend, not Karn, obviously. Sorry for that error.

>I doubt a Wraith can become pregnant, but you may as well take some bitterweed.
W-wait, y-you can’t… but… w-what if… but… you… err… b-better safe than s-sorry, r-right? Right…
>We will have to keep an eye for that meat. I am not going to bother not calling him meat, his soul is starting to get wicked, so might as well.
He is clearly up to something… and is slowly becoming food, so it can’t be good. You just need to hope it isn’t something dangerous.

>Ask the herbalist about him.
Eh? Oh, the other gentleman? Why, I’m not someone to intrude on others privacy, young lady, but I can tell you he often visit me to buy work related products. I’m a lot cheaper than the stores inside the walls, after all, seeing as I produce my own stock, hihi.
>We have a common friend, herbalist.
A common friend? And who might that be, dear?
What was its name again… Yate? Odd fellow with a mask?
Oh! Yate! Why, yes, I know who she is. Why, that girl helped me something fierce just a while back… … …or is he a boy? I’m not entirely sure…
It helped you?
Why yes. If it wasn’t for her… um… him, I wouldn’t have my home anymore. He even gave me these nice smelling statuettes that she claimed would protect me further, though I don’t believe they are anything but nice looking trinkets, to be honest.
Those statues with the weird marks on them? They are odd... though I can’t shake the… no matter, that’s not why I’m here. It told me to ask you about some stones that are of great importance.
Stones? Oh, right, those silly things! I’ll be right back, dear… I’ll just need to get some things… and your tea, of course.

Kr’inka hurries away and disappears into a small cubbyhole, which you can only guess is her… kitchen? You just stand there for several minutes, waiting for her in awkward silence before finally Karn speaks up…

So… stones?
I have no idea either, but apparently someone that knows what happened to my home wants them.
So you want to trade them for information.
In a sense. I have a feeling that keeping it… happy might be helpful, even if it is only to get close to it before I strike.
You know, I’m starting to regret coming with you. I really don’t want to get tied up with… whatever it is you’re actually doing.
Do the young gentleman want some tea as well? Not the same tea, of course, but something to sooth your thirst a bit?
Err… sure?

The old Hiver lady returns with tree cups of tea, one clearly marked for your consummation, and a small scroll under one of her arms. She hands over the tea to you, a greenish slurry that faintly smell of nature. You take a small sip of it, it extremely bitter taste almost makes you spit it out again but you manage to force it down. What is this, concentrated bitterleaf or something??

Don’t worry, dear, the bitterness will disappear after a few sips.

She then hands you the scroll, which is filled with markings and text that you don’t think you fully understand. With her guidance, you do manage to find something about… what you assume is the rocks you’re looking for? They are more like eggs, actually…

Look here, dear. There are three stones, one red, one blue and one green. According to Yate they should still be somewhere nearby, somewhere in the barony, at least.
So… what are they?
I’m not sure… all I know is that they supposedly contain a massive amount of energy… one that is growing every day.
So they are some kind of… power storage?
Or a weapon.
…or some kind of weapon, yeah…
A weapon? Oh, why dear, I wouldn’t think so. Why, Yate has such distaste for violence, he wouldn’t hurt a fly! Why would she want a weapon?
…then what are these? Individual progenitor? What does that even mean? Forge for… what kind of components? Hmm…

>>904313
You might want to inform Kr’inka that the statue with what looks like a blue hat on it is shaking and might fall off the shelf.

>W-wait, y-you can’t…but…w-what if…but…you…err…b-better safe than s-sorry, r-right? Right…
What’s the matter? Are you upset that you can’t have kids? I mean, you can ask your swords about that, but I doubt they’d have an answer for you. Or you won’t like the answer they give you.

>You know, I’m starting to regret coming with you. I really don’t want to get tied up with…whatever it is you’re actually doing.
Tell him that it’s a little too late for that.

>There are three stones, one red, one blue and one green. According to Yate they should still be somewhere nearby, somewhere in the barony, at least.
Does that mean they’re in the Baroness’ home? That would make them difficult to get. You’re not ready to go in there.

Oh, I see. So the stones we’re looking for are somewhere in the city right now.

I am going to supouse that they told you why they want these stones. And they has also been helpfull... Can't put my finger on what kind of person they are just yet. Has he told you, by any chance what he thinks of sakkilians?

uh, ma'am, your blue statue is doing some kind of happy dance.

Warning: Statue in distress

If that's not an imminent issue, ask if she knows of the approximate locations of any of the stones.

>Does that mean they’re in the Baroness’ home?
While that would be the center of the barony, true, you don’t she meant it like that. The barony is the city and all the smaller settlements around it. Technically, Dalriver is even part of the barony, mostly because it’s in the middle of nowhere and it’s the closes thing to pay taxes to. Though, you’re sure she meant near the city…
>What’s the matter? Are you upset that you can’t have kids?
It’s just… while you haven’t really… well… when the option suddenly disappears you can’t help to… … …you kind of had this fantasy that you would settle down with a nice man and have a child or two and… um…

>Ask if she knows of the approximate locations of any of the stones.
I do believe they are in the city… or close to it. What I know so far is that they were in a small town called Dalriver about ten years ago, but they were lost after that.
They were at Dalriver!?
Indeed, dear. I still don’t know what actually happened there, but I have tracked down some people that might.
You found a survivor?
Not exactly. I do know that there was a caravan of nomads there just before the town was razed… and there’s still a thriving community of Uredo there that might know something. In fact, I believe there might be an Uredo from there living here. I was going to ask around in the parks, but I haven’t had the time.
Hmm…
Oh, and supposedly someone survived the attack, but I haven’t been able to find out what happened to them.

>I am going to suppose that they told you why they want these stones?
Why, dear, he did. In a way, that is. She needs it to ensure his kind future… and to quell her kinds rage and lust for vengeance.
Quell their rage? Doesn’t sound like a weapon, then…
Unless it’s a weapon that kills everyone that makes them angry.
Nonsense! Yate wouldn’t hurt a fly! It’s clearly something dear to them and not some… mean thing!
>Has it told you, by any chance what he thinks of sakkilians?
Sakkilians? Why, dear, I don’t believe he has. I don’t believe the young lass has any ill will towards any kind… though, he is a bit… skeptical of most people.

>uh, ma'am, your blue statue is doing some kind of happy dance.
Huh? What stat-

Before she can even turn around, the small statue topples over and hits one of the bottles on the shelf, making it fall off. The bottle smashes into the hard stone floor, splitting into a thousand pieces and splashing the liquid inside all over the room.

Oh no, my stream nectar extract. Well, I guess it isn’t too bad, I was going to need to gather more of it soon anyway. Though, now we can say for certain that those statues don’t really protect my humble abode, hihi.
I do hope it isn’t too much of bother?
Don’t worry, I was planning to take a stroll through the woods anyway. Now I only have a place to actually go to, hihi. So… was it anything else, dear? Otherwise… well, I have a stream to visit, hmm? Right after I clean this up, that is…

>It’s just… while you haven’t really… well… when the option suddenly disappears you can’t help to… … …you kind of had this fantasy that you would settle down with a nice man and have a child or two and… um…
Don't loose hope yet, Ema, there might still be hope for you. And if you can't have your own children... you can always adopt, right?

This has been very insightful indeed, thank you ma'am. We'll let you to it then, we'll see you later.
Should start looking, or do you want to see what that meat scoundrel is planning? The sooner we deal with those that could intervene with the research of these artifacts, the better.

I wonder if we should find all three stones then destroy them.

Anyway, let's go to our next stop. I think we should see if we can find that prostidude to schedule an appointment with the guard. That's probably the nasty thing he was thinking about, you know. How we'd get rid of her for him.

That would be a good meal for the day, AND we might be able to use her form to get access to the Duchess, or at least access to someone whose form could get to her.

Eh, don't worry, Ema. You can adopt. Or find some sort of ungodly magic that'll make an undead vengeance spirit fertile - who knows.

Ask if she knows precisely where we can find this Uredo. Ought to try tracking him down, see if he knows anything of use.

>>904598
We've already got plenty of nutrition when needed, thanks to jizz magic. We can treat evildoers as more of a special treat than average meal, so we don't have to go out in search of them.

>>904622
I don't think we have "plenty". We have two donors right now; I expect we'll need four donations a day to survive without eating anyone. Maybe if we sex up both of them twice a day it'd work? Some experimentation is required, which means we still have to line up meals just in case.

But I forgot, this is still the same day as the end of last thread. So the guard should be eaten tomorrow.

Can we have those statues?

And that Kaktus?

>…you kind of had this fantasy that you would settle down with a nice man and have a child or two and… um…

That ship's sailed when you died, I'm afraid.
Hell, normally dying means 'end of the line', so be glad you got some overtime in the exist department to finish this revenge..., sorry, 'justice' buisness, you'll expire the moment you're done with that.

>>904662
Hey, we don't know she'll pop out of existence.
Might work on Dark Souls logic - she'll only go insane when she loses all hope and goals. As long as Ema has purpose, she might continue on.

>>904681
If i a not mistaken, the swords said that your memories and experiences pass on to the next user that uses the swords. Ema is already dead, what is alive are the swords, and she lives through them. Once you die, you are no longer you, you are an extention of the swords, you become "Justice".

>Devour Kaktus gain powers of GOD.
As much as you want to eat random household objects, you’re not putting something covered in spines into your mouth… unless it’s some kind of cock, but that’s another subject entirely. Besides, you can’t help but feel that ALL HAIL THE KAKTUS! GLORY TO THE KAKTUS! I PLEDGE MYSELF TO THE KAKTUS AND GIVE MY FIRST BORE WATER CAN TO HIS MAGNIFICENT!

>you can always adopt, right?
That’s not really the same thing… um… r-right?
>Or find some sort of ungodly magic that'll make an undead vengeance spirit fertile - who knows.
Yeah, like that will ever happen. Besides, it’s probably have some horrid clause before it can activate… like forcing you to go on a dangerous adventure… or eat all your friends or… or… *Gasp* clean… your… room! …wait, you don’t have a room anymore…
>I wonder if we should find all three stones then destroy them.
You still have no idea what they do… or what they might do if harmed… or if they can even be harmed! You better figure that out before you do something stupid and blow up the whole barony or something.

>I think we should see if we can find that prostidude to schedule an appointment with the guard. That's probably the nasty thing he was thinking about, you know. How we'd get rid of her for him.
But he didn’t smell like that last time… though, his smell was covered in perfume and drugs… hmm…
>We've already got plenty of nutrition when needed, thanks to jizz magic. We can treat evildoers as more of a special treat than average meal, so we don't have to go out in search of them.
You’re not sure if you get enough protein through those means yet… but you already ate Tana just an hour ago so you won’t need to eat for a while… though, if you ever get in the mood for a snack… well, Karn is right there…
>I expect we'll need four donations a day to survive without eating anyone.
That is an oddly specific number without any proof to support it, isn’t it?

>Can we have those statues?
Eh? Oh, sorry, dear, but I can’t just give those away, now can I? They were a gift after all. It’s rude to give away something someone else has already given you, correct?
>Ask if she knows precisely where we can find this Uredo. Ought to try tracking him down, see if he knows anything of use.
Oh dear, I’m not entirely sure where those plants usually root themselves…
I know a group of them usually sleep during the day in the park near my place.
One of the parks would be the most prudent places to look for it, dear.

>This has been very insightful indeed, thank you ma'am. We'll let you to it then, we'll see you later.
It’s always nice to entertain you younglings. Now, do take care… and I’ll start cleaning up this mess I made.
Here, let me help you clean that up.
Oh, come on, Karn, we need to get going.
It’s only take a second, Ema. Especially if you help too.
Eh… fine…
Why, you’re so kind, dears, hihi.

You and Karn help the Hiver clean up the mess that little statue made. It just takes a few seconds for the three of you to remove the broken glass and liquid from the floor, but it does give an ample opportunity to get close enough to the old lady to smell her soul. It’s a pure one, might even be purer than Drago’s in fact, which means you want to protect her, not… well… harm her.

After that small distraction, she bids you farewell as the two of you leave. As you start walking on the path back to the city, you can see her lock up her hut, put up a small sign stating “out gathering reagent in the forest” before disappearing into the forest herself.

The two of you wanders back in silence for a minute or two…

So… what exactly is-

All the sudden the smell of blood and evil hit your nostrils. Out of instinct you tackle him into the underbrush, hiding the both of you form anyone walking the path you were on.

GAH!

You put a finger to his snout to silence him and he cease struggling to give you a questioning look. You don’t need to answer as the things you smelled, the corruption and darkness, comes marching down the path from the city. There is at least six of them, maybe seven… all of them wearing guards uniforms of different kinds… all of them corrupt… and tasty…

-and remember, not a word.
Yes, yes, this isn’t official business, we know.
So, what are we looking for anyway?
Those two fucking asshole twins are looking for some fucking magical stones… and I’ve had an informant tell me this bitch out in the woods know something about them.
So we loot her place, find these stones and burn it to the ground?
Do we need her alive?
Only to get information out of her.
Ha! It will be easy to beat out any information from an old hag like her! Then we can just throw her into the fire and watch her scream!
HAR HAR! Grand idea! Oh! And I almost forgot. There will be some blue bitch there as well. I want her alive… so I can break her fucking neck, you hear?
Blue one is the bosses kill, got it.
And if there is anyone else there?
Then we’ll simply cut of their fucking head and blame them for the fire! Har har!

As they walk past you, you can see Karn wanting to run off, to flee from all this. But you can’t… can you? You can’t let them murder her…

>>904719
Spit up your swords. Does Karn have one with him? They're loud enough to quickly sneak behind and strike.

Become Vivian, regurgitate swords, defend the innocent.

Right, FOR JUSTICE and all that.

Become Vivian, who is a talented swordswoman and a mid-level enforcer in the local underground, and try to convince them to postpone this mission, and not get sliced to ribbons.

Failing that, go nuts as Vivi.

>>904725
I don't think Vivi will be useful in this situation, you don't have her clothes and her orders probably come from a very important person, probably the baroness.
But i do agree we can't just let them kill the herbalist, Justice calls. We can't go charging to them, they are way too many. We need to take them one by one. Or, we have to try to get to the herbalist before them and get her out of here.
And Kharn should go back, i am not sure if he will be safe here.

>>904728
Also, Ema already knows what Vivi knew about sword fighting.

Let Karn open his mouth again, see if there's something important he wants to say. Explain that's more you can have on your plate at once, definitely in a literal sense and maybe in a figurative sense. If he has any bright ideas you'd like to hear them.

Man it's almost like wasteful to have to kill and not eat five out of six would-be grandma-killers. Any ideas on saving some for later? Could you spook them off if you eat the guard captain?

Whatever you do, don't let them see your base form- I'd suggest using the bandit form.

>>904719
Hey, I guess that statue protected her after all. Since she had to leave to get more of that stuff that spilled, she won’t be at her hut when these guys arrive there!

Whisper to Karn that you can’t let them kill that lady, so you’re going to go take care of them, nobody’s going to miss some corrupt guards, right? Then tell him that he should leave so he doesn’t get caught in the middle of this.

>I’ve had an informant tell me this bitch out in the woods know something about them.
And warn Karn about that red male Sakkilian you passed earlier is this lady’s infomant and how he’s one of his and Oran’s customers for that potion they were selling. Since that guy knows about him and Oran, he should be careful on his way back into town.

It’s too bad you already ate Tana earlier, now you can’t eat any of these guys without the risk of making it harder to satisfy your hunger later. You’ll have to try and take these guys out with your swords.

>>904742
>Whatever you do, don't let them see your base form
Good advice. But the question is, can Ema stay in that form long enough to finish the fight?

Ema said that being in one form for too long is tiresome, so I’m not sure what would happen if she changes back in the middle of a fight. Because if she ends up too tired to continue fighting, that will be a problem!

.....hey, did we gain any new Elder Wraith powers from eating again? Or maybe some new memories from past lives that could help right now? It’d be very helpful if one of our past lives was a ninja and we suddenly got their skills on how to be stealthy right now!

time to sneak, switch to whatever form you have that is the sneakiest. Pick them off one by one if you can. If that's not possible then try to ambush them to take a few out before the fight really begins. Don't be afraid to use hit and run tactics to try and scatter them if you can.

Stay hidden. Try to make some small noises - rustle some leaves, et cetera - enough to get some attention. If three or fewer come to investigate, move back a bit and continue the noise until you can get easy, silent kills (two for you with your paralysis powers, one for Karn). Pull the bodies into the brush, maybe eat one for good measure, then move in to take care of the rest - the plan'll have to develop from there.
If more decide to investigate, you make yourself apparent (preferably by getting a kill or two) in Gev form as a distraction for Karn. As they chase you, he could get a few kills in if he gets a good surprise, at which you can turn around and begin fighting them yourself.

I wonder if you could shape-shift mid-combat as a distraction. You should try that if things go loud.

Don't just charge, there are four of them. They are going to search the empty, hut attacking then will improve our chances of eliminating one before they can surround us.
Vivian form will fulfill the description of a "blue bitch" and carry a reputation. This could be useful...

"Karn, prove that your swordsman techniques aren't just for show, help me save Krinka from an unjust demise. Once I start the conflict I need you to engage one of them separately."

Since they expect your presence and only Yate knew we would be looking for stones. If this is just a trap than the search itself may be just a goose chase.

>>904744
Oh man I somehow didn't even read that she left and locked up shop. That gives you a whole new avenue in dealing with them, you can wait for them to split up into the woods and pick one of them off as you like. Karn can run ahead and warn Krinka before anyone else gets there, Ema can grab the leader and get her her head full of information on who's dirty.

>>904719
Tell Karn to get lost, you're gonna dispense justice.

Alright, since you're fighting a group the best thing you can do is try to pick them off one by one. They're searching for someone so they'll split up, which means this should be possible. Heck, you might even be able to manage it if they split into pairs, since you're good at swords now.

Also remember you already ate today. So just kill them all.
...wait, how would she know you'd be there? Yeah I guess it's pretty much guaranteed that the prostidude sold you out. How about we eat him tomorrow then? Or maybe we can get him to give us a lead on how to reach the Baroness.

>Whisper to Karn that you can’t let them kill that lady, so you’re going to go take care of them, nobody’s going to miss some corrupt guards, right?
What? Of course they are going to miss them! They are guards!
But they are evil guards!
They don’t know that! If you kill these people, someone will come looking eventually… and I’m pretty sure you’re not good enough to cover your tracks to not get into trouble… or get that old lady in trouble.
So I have to kill them without leaving any evidence, eh?
That’s not what I said at all!
>Spit up your swords.
You put your hand into your maw and pull out your long sword.
…I was expecting something disgusting, you know, but you made it actually look like you’re just some sword swallower or something…
Heh, maybe I should join the circus!
Circuses deal with fake monsters, not real ones.

>Does Karn have one with him?
Of course not! A normal person don’t go around the city with a sword on their hip… or inside them.
But you’re a-
I’m a man. If the guard caught me walking around with a weapon they’ll probably put me under house arrest or something for suffering manly hysteria or something.
So… no sword, then?
No sword.
>If he has any bright ideas you'd like to hear them.
Let’s just leave and pretend this never happen?
Not going to happen.
>Karn can run ahead and warn Krinka before anyone else gets there
Ngg… fine, I’ll go save her.
Good boy.
You owe me for this!
And with that, Karn disappear into the wood in the same direction as Krinka.


>They're loud enough to quickly sneak behind and strike.
While you can probably strike one down before the rest can react, fighting six trained swordsman alone is suicide, no matter how good a swordsman you are.
>We need to take them one by one.
Hmm… but first you need to split them up somehow… but how?
>Try to make some small noises - rustle some leaves, et cetera - enough to get some attention.
You rustle some leaves… but they ignore it, thinking that it’s just the wind.
You crack a stick… but they ignore it, thinking that it’s just some small animal.
You almost try something even louder, but think better of it, as it would probably be to obvious that someone is hiding it the bushes. Still, how are you supposed to get them to split up if you can’t-

She doesn’t seem to be home?
Let’s break in and start trashing the place!
No. Going by the sign and that the lights are still on, she can’t be far away. We find her first before we do anything else.
But… why do we care if-
Because if she comes back and see someone breaking into her home she’ll run for the guard. We really don’t want the other guards here right now. To many questions.
Right, so… we just go into the woods then?
We split up. Hana, Katrina, you’re with me. We’ll check by the old big rock, there’s a bunch of herbs and shit there. Elizabeth, Freya, check by the stream. There’s a bunch of shrooms there as well.
Ma’am!
And what about me?
You’ll stay here, Tsui, in case she comes back. Oh, and try to see if you can get inside her house… without leaving a bunch of evidence of a break in!
Sure, sure… I’ll see what I can do…
Move out people! Let’s find that old hag and make her wish she was never born! HAR HAR!
…hmm… hey, isn’t that window open?

…or they can just split up on their own, you guess?

>Whatever you do, don't let them see your base form- I'd suggest using the bandit form.
The bandit form is the most easy to discard later… but Vivi’s form would also be useful. Of course, if they don’t come out of this alive, it won’t really matter what they see, will it?
>But the question is, can Ema stay in that form long enough to finish the fight?
You can stay in your form long enough for it not to be a real concern. It’s more annoying than actually troublesome to stay in one for more than an hour, but after that… well, you’re not sure…
>...hey, did we gain any new Elder Wraith powers from eating again?
While you didn’t get any new powers, you seem to remember more and more of your past lives. How to wield your weapons, how to move without a sound and… well, even incorporating your… other weapons with your fighting style.

Tsui, you’re a genius! You’ll just crawl in and unlock the door!

>Hey, I guess that statue protected her after all. Since she had to leave to get more of that stuff that spilled, she won’t be at her hut when these guys arrive there!
In a certain way, that is true. So, Yate really did help her, then? Hmm…
>Since they expect your presence and only Yate knew we would be looking for stones.
But why would he send you to someone he wanted to protect if he wanted you dead? Wouldn’t it be easier to just send you somewhere else?
>Her orders probably come from a very important person, probably the baroness.
Terroza or what her name is did mention the Twins… the same Twins Vivi mentioned, maybe? Who are these Twins anyway?
>I guess it's pretty much guaranteed that the prostidude sold you out.
Definitely. They were probably planning it from the start. That teach you from accepting murder plans from strangers on the street…

Almost… almost… so close…

>You’ll have to try and take these guys out with your swords.
Hmm… Karn was right, leaving a bunch of bodies around will draw unwanted attention towards you… or at least the old lady. You have no idea how to hide a bunch of bodies… or how to clean up after them. Can you take them out without leaving a bunch of bodies, body part and blood around? You guess you might at least remove the last two if you manage to take them all out stealthily, but even then… hmm…
>It’s too bad you already ate Tana earlier, now you can’t eat any of these guys without the risk of making it harder to satisfy your hunger later.
Dammit, why do have to be on some stupid diet! You just want to eat some bad people, is that too much to ask!?

No matter, you need to decide who to go after first. The leader? The two that went the same way as Karn and the old lady? …or the one that’s alone and… um…

Gah, come on… fit!

…apparently stuck in a window? Okay…? This might a bit too… easy?

>Man it's almost like wasteful to have to kill and not eat five out of six would-be grandma-killers.
It’s a massive waste! You can’t just… just… leave them around, uneaten, can you!? Gah… one of them is right there even, stuck and just ready to be eaten and everything!
>Any ideas on saving some for later?
Maybe you can tie them up or something… but where are you supposed to keep them? You can’t very well carry around six people just like that… and you don’t think the herbalist wants them at her place either. Dammit, why can’t you just put them in your pocket for later? You know, like your sword, which you can just put in your mouth and… err… wait a second…

Well, you CAN put them in your belly without eating them, but you will be probably tempted to eat them once they are inside you, and taht is no good, the swords told us that. The one you REALLY want to ate is the boss, the big red one. That is the most tasty, and the bigest, you will be ably to make lots of bodys with big she is. But abot this idiot here... Well she is a snake, and snakes are very flexible and slipery. I say we break her neck, and hide the body somewhere. And them we need to go for the ones that went where the herbalist and Kharn are. Her protection is our top priority.

I would be funny if you swallow all of them and vomit in Oran's basement. Probable won't be able to take all of them alive, but you have a good chance of getting two: this dumbass stuck in the window and whoever you use your paralyzing touch.
You can stab the guards in the forest and swallow their corpses. Don't do this with this window snake, if blood is left around the hut you may cause problems for Krinka.

After a quick snack go after the two that went the same way as Karn and the old lady.

However you deal with this one, whether it be swallow and save for later or neck snapping, don't spill any blood on Crinka's property. Too many questions will be asked about her.

>>905098
>While you didn’t get any new powers, you seem to remember more and more of your past lives. How to wield your weapons, how to move without a sound
All of that sounds useful right now.

>and…well, even incorporating your…other weapons with your fighting style.
Really? Could you give us an example?

>How to get rid of them without leaving evidence?
Actually, didn’t your swords tell you that you need to eat living people to eat their souls? If you eat dead people, there probably won’t be any risk of needing to eat more people to satisfy your hunger later. In fact, it’ll be almost like that time you had to dispose of those scraps of your clothing that you ripped out of back in Vivian’s office, you’ll be able to dispose of the bodies the same way!

Except for the big red lady, I think you should just eat her and take her soul.....if you get hungry by the time you get to her.

>Gah, come on…fit!
.....I didn’t think it was possible for a Serpent to get fat. So this is actually pretty funny to look at! XD

Just paralyze her, snap her neck, then eat her corpse to hide the body. No soul, should mean no risk of needing to eat more to satisfy your hunger later!

>>905098
Ah! You don't immediately digest people you eat! That's how we get out of this without becoming a glutton. You have to kill them, stuff them in your face, then avoid digesting them. Maybe use some rope if you're not sure if you can puke them out without it.

Or... hang on, ask the swords if there will be any problems from eating corpses. You only get anything from eating them alive, right?

>Really? Could you give us an example of new fighting moves?
Sword pummel to the face to daze them, shove them into mouth before they recover and then disarm them as you gulp them down. Easy meal… in theory, at least…
>However you deal with this one, whether it be swallow and save for later or neck snapping, don't spill any blood on Krinka's property. Too many questions will be asked about her.
That’s the problem, isn’t it? You can’t leave evidence that you killed them here… especially not blood… or corpses. It’s easier to move corpses, sure, but still…

>Ask the swords if there will be any problems from eating corpses. You only get anything from eating them alive, right?
You will not gain anything from eating the dead, no.
Sweet, then I’ll just snap her neck and-
But you’ll have trouble getting them down whole.
…wait, what? Why?
Do you not still to chew your food? Did you not need to break apart your old clothes to eat?
But… I mean… I guess?
The magic that let you consume larger things only work on those that is filled with magic… that is to say life essence. The dead, at least the one that have ceased to move, are not full of that, are they?
But… I ate you?
Am I not alive?
…I… guess?
You can still eat their corpses, if you take your time to cut them down into pieces first. While you need life essence to consume anything larger than yourself, you can still consume rather large chunk of their corpses, like their heads, without it.
Rats… then… hmm… and if I eat them all?
The more you digest, the hungrier you will get. Just eating them will do nothing… if your will is strong enough to not engulf yourself with gluttony.
So… sooner or later I will need to eat armies?
In time, yes… though, this place reeks of corruption and easy meals… and if you actually try to bring Justice to those that wronged you, it might not even have time to become a problem.
Still…

So you can either snap her neck and hide her corpse for later, to either bury or butcher for eating…
Or you can just gobble her down now and try and not digest her?

Either way, you need to hurry up so you can catch up with those that went toward the stream before they find Krinka and Karn.

>>905144
I'd say you have some good practice not eating things. I mean, despite having that episode when you saw the Baroness you didn't attack anyone while you were hallucinating. Let's try it. Swallow this one without digesting.

At some point you're gonna have to puke them back up and kill them all at some place where it's easy to dispose of them. Hmm, I wonder if Oran has some alchemical way of disposing of a body without a trace?

>>905144
Can’t you just swallow her until her head is sticking out of your mouth, then you just snap her neck? That would make it easier to get rid of her corpse and not have to worry about the risk of getting really hungry later or having to hide her body.

Or can’t you just eat her alive and then kill her by stabbing yourself with your sword? After all, you found that you can’t be killed by your own swords, so that would work, right?

And unless you want to listen this Serpent talking the entire time you’ve got her in you, might want to kill her because that’s just very distracting.

Well, we can try and not eat her. Knock her out and swallow her, BUT DON'T EAT HER. You will regurgitate her, and the kill her. Yes, it is mesed up, but don't pity the wicked, this is their punishment.
Grow some self control.

>>905156
Yeah, the sword idea sounds good. Remember, you can't spell Diet without -

Actually, let's go a step further. After consuming her, take on Vivian's form, then stab yourself in the gut, shimmy it up and down so it gets over you, and call for help. The guards immediately come back, and you blame them for murdering Vivi. While the guards are arguing over who did what, roll away quietly, switch to a different form, take off your undershirt, and stealth away as Tana.

If the life energy gets digested when you impale them instead of stomach acidity, just swallow and run, then regurgitate and stab.

>>905144
Kill her aand hide the body.

>>905156
Oh, I like this idea. Paralyze, swallow up to neck, stab head, bam - corpse is gone.
Second idea (stab self) works just as well.

I think you guys are missing the fact that the "The more you digest, the hungrier you will get" line is in relation to eating all of them.

Eat her, kill the rest. Maybe via blunt force to the heads?

>>905363
Our main goal is to eat Terroza - with her connections, we can get to higher level targets faster, decreasing casualties. Eating this mook and slaying the captain will slow down our progress.

Wow I missed an entire fucking update so just disregard me i suck cocks.

>>905363
Nah - we kill her before she's totally swallowed.
That way, we absorb just her corpse w/o... consuming her soul, I suppose.

Maybe we should turn into the bandit and use the guard who is stuck in the window then disarm them, free them tell them to get lost. That way the house is still up and we wont have to worry about a body or a wasted meal. Like a noble woman would tell her friends she was disgraced like that.

You’re pretty sure you can just tune her out… and she’s bound to shut up if you don’t answer back, right? It’s not like she can know if you can hear her or not.
>I think you guys are missing the fact that the "The more you digest, the hungrier you will get" line is in relation to eating all of them.
That’s only if you actually digest them, not just eat them. You can always just spit them out later.
>I'd say you have some good practice not eating things. I mean, despite having that episode when you saw the Baroness you didn't attack anyone while you were hallucinating.
See, you’re sure you won’t have any trouble putting them all in your belly without actually absorbing them. You’ll just spit them out later… or… hmm… you can just leave them there until later, when you actually get hungry? Just imagine, not having hunt bad people every time you get hungry, instead just digest one of them that’s already inside you? So much simpler… then, maybe just this once, you can just absorb them all in celebration that you-
>Grow some self-control.
Yeah, yeah, you get it, just one…
>suck cocks.
Later.


>Can’t you just eat her alive and then kill her by stabbing yourself with your sword? After all, you found that you can’t be killed by your own swords, so that would work, right?
Your swords can’t kill you because they simple can’t harm anything made out of their will, that is to say, you.
Which mean I can stab anyone inside me, right?
That means you can’t stab anything that belongs to you… including your stomach… or its content.
Hmm… then if I stab myself with one of the guards swords?
You’ll die, explode and release anyone you’ve eaten but not absorbed yet.
…so, don’t stab yourself, got it.
>Can’t you just swallow her until her head is sticking out of your mouth, then you just snap her neck?
… … …um… well…
…wait, did you just hesitate? You don’t know what will happen, do you?
No one has ever tried something like that. Most just kill with the swords or eat, not both at once.
So it might work?
Might work, yes. But the problematic part is that life essence don’t simply cease when you die. It has to go somewhere. So the question is, will it simply exit into the void through the head, will you absorb it as if you digested the body or will it simply get stuck in the now dead body for a while longer? Not to mention how you will react to it? Will you simply swallow the corpse as soulless matter, will you swallow it like a body with a soul or will it violently exit your body through your chest captivity, forcing your body to explode from the inside and-
Enough talk, time to experiment!
Wait, what!? No, let us talk this through before you get yourself killed by-
SCIENCE TIME!

Your conversation with the swords gave you ample amount of time to change both clothes and form into that of Gev, the bandit, just in case someone would witness you while you bring Justice to these chumps. Walking up to the corrupt Serpents guard, you can actually hear the front door unlock as she finally manages to reach it, but by now it’s already too late.

Ha! There we go! Now I just need… ngg… to get out… huh? Freya? Is that you? Can you help me pull myself out of here?

Grabbing the end of her tail, you quickly feed it into your maw and start sucking her down. Making sure to watch your metal intake, you rip her sword from her belt and other large metal pieces before eating the rest of her.

Eh? What are you- by hel’s name, what’s- agh!?

With her awkward position and your superior strength she doesn’t stand a chance, as you easily forces both her arms to her sides as you gobble her down further. She tries to fight back, but by the time she finally realizes what’s actually going on she’s already down to her shoulders.

OH TIDES, WHAT THE FUCK!?

When only their head remains outside, you bite down as hard as you can on it in an attempt to finally shut them up.

HELP! SOMEONE FUCKING H- *Crack*

As her neck snaps, you suddenly find yourself with a severed head in your mouth that’s too big to swallow and a tummy full of… what feels like a living person? What?

Wait, what just happened?
It seems that your body is forcing the life essence to stay in the body for later absorption, at least, the part of it that was inside your… let’s call it magical stomach?
…so this was pointless? I would have had the same effect if I just ate her, minus the head in my beak?
It seems that way. As I said before, the life essence needs somewhere to go… and your body, designed to absorb it, isn’t just going to let it float away.
Well, that sucks…

Serpent yelling don’t carry as far as normal sound based yelling, if you remember correctly… still, you can’t be sure if someone is about to come running for her… “rescue”. It’s been a while since the others left but still… there’s also the problem with the head. It’s all the sudden way too big for your beak, even hurting your maw muscles as they are forced open by it. Does a little bit of life essence really make such a big difference? Either way, you can’t swallow it like this… and it’s bleeding all over the place as well…

Just spit it out and hide in case someone comes running. If only one comes running, cut them down immediately. If two, ambush the one furthest back, and then cut down the other one. If more, well, fuck.

Id say it does, we need to figure out how to get her to shrink into you gut, try changing back to you and pushing her down?

>>905529
Damn. Pull it out and toss it in the bushes. Also sounds like you don't have the self-control yet to stuff more than one in your belly. I think when you eat the main target, you should try training your self-control by leaving her in your belly without absorbing her, for a full day.

>>905529
Go hide to see if anyone comes.

If no one shows up, go after the guards that went in the same direction as Kr’inka and Karn. Getting rid of the enemies closest to the people you’re trying to protect is better than going after the ones that are further away.

>>905552
Sounds like a good idea.

For now, just spit out the body in some bushes and hide there. Wait for them to come back. If they enter the house, wait until most of them are inside, then use this as an opportunity to sneak up to the door and get some kills. They're stuck in small, closed environment where they're expecting no resistance.

When the time comes to hide all of them, I've an idea. Since we're undead, I assume we're immune to disease/infection, and don't need to breathe.
That means we could hide the bodies in absolutely disgusting places, such as near a sewer drainage pipe or within deep areas of sewage within the sewers themselves at little risk to ourself other than smelling bad. Since most people can't just wade through sewage, you could find a deep spot and bury them shallowly underneath the slough. Might not be the best method, but it'll be effective long enough for us.

This is actually the first time that you and your swords have had an extended conversation them without being cryptic. Why is that? It's not a complaint, by the contrary, is nice to have some chimestry with... yourself? But it is curious non the less.

Don't yank the head out here because you'll leave a load of blood all over the herbalist's house if you do sever the head here. Better lift your cowl in front up to under your beak to catch any more blood drips, rub out any blood on the ground with your foot, then rush to hide in the bushes. Once out of sight you can deal with the head.

Sakkilians are known to be able to swallow livestock like chickens or pigs whole, right? So maybe if you take the form of Elric, or Ema if he's not big enough, you'll be able to swallow this guard's head. Even if you aren't able to eat it whole, a Sakkilian form can swallow bigger pieces than a Vark one, making chopping it up to eat easier.

If you're unable to swallow the head whole, you might be able to use your sword to slice it free by sticking your sword through your body. Poke it around through your neck and head to find the point where your magical stomach starts, then slice the head off above there. Aim to cut it off where the most possible will be dragged into your gut with the body. Then, while the head is still in your mouth, you can cut through yourself to slice pieces off it from back to front until what's left is small enough to swallow whole. That'll help keep the blood from getting all over the place.

Make sure to hold the head with one hand while biting down firmly when you cut so the head doesn't slip out. Also push the head farther in as you go so the bloody end is inside the edges of your mouth. And tip your head back as well so the blood will flow more down your throat and not out the sides of your mouth. And once you're done make damn sure to change back into Gev's form before leaving hiding.

>Just imagine, not having hunt bad people every time you get hungry, instead just digest one of them that’s already inside you? So much simpler… then, maybe just this once, you can just absorb them all in celebration that you-
Even if it was possible to selectively digest those within you and it's not a all-or-nothing process, you obviously don't have the self control to not pig out on all those in you as soon as you start to digest. Maybe you never will.

Considering this, you should think about possibly getting facilities to temporarily imprison those you swallow if you've swallowed more than you ought to digest at once. Just spit 'em up one at a time into their soundproof cell, stripping 'em as they come up. Or get Oran involved to provide sedatives to keep 'em knocked out.

Of course, this is all assuming you'd be able to keep down more than one wicked person without losing control and gorging on 'em all.

>Hide in case someone comes running. If only one comes running, cut them down immediately. If two, ambush the one furthest back, and then cut down the other one.
You jump back into the underbrush, disappearing from sight in wait for your next target… who are taking their sweet time coming here…
>Damn. Pull it out and toss it in the bushes.
You really don’t want to leave any remains or proof around the old lady cottage, or she might get into trouble later. Maybe if you dug a grave or… hmm… but that would take time you don’t have and…
>Since we're undead, I assume we're immune to disease/infection, and don't need to breathe. That means we could hide the bodies in absolutely disgusting places, such as near a sewer drainage pipe.
While a clever idea, there are several problems with it. How are you supposed to get several bodies from here to your hiding place without being seen? Or in any reasonable amount of time? You don’t think you can carry more than one body before it gets problematic. Besides, you have no idea where an area like that is. Also, you really don’t want to go around smelling of sewage… or bath in sewage…
>Sakkilians are known to be able to swallow livestock like chickens or pigs whole, right?
Wait, a pig? Who in the- if someone manages to swallow a freaking pig they would need to be both freaking huge and gluttonous… or undead like you, but that’s another matter entirely. But sure, Sakkilians are known to be able eat without chewing at times.
>So maybe if you take the form of Elric, or Ema if he's not big enough, you'll be able to swallow this guard's head.
Taking your real form, you force the head down with your hand. It feels like you’re about to choke to death, even if you don’t actually need to breathe, as it’s simply too big for you. It almost get stuck for a second in your throat before finally it disappear, freeing you from that horrid experience. You’re never going to try and eat something that big again… well, nothing that isn’t still alive, that is.

>Sounds like you don't have the self-control yet to stuff more than one in your belly.
Hey! You still haven’t started taking care of… err… the Serpent you just ate? At least, what’s left of her?
>I think when you eat the main target, you should try training your self-control by leaving her in your belly without absorbing her, for a full day.
Or you can really show off your self-control by eating them all! That’s how it works, right?
>Even if it was possible to selectively digest those within you and it's not a all-or-nothing process, you obviously don't have the self-control to not pig out on all those in you as soon as you start to digest.
You can’t be certain until you try, right? So… if you promise real hard to take it easy, you can still eat more than one, right? Right?
>This is actually the first time that you and your swords have had an extended conversation them without being cryptic. Why is that?
The more powerful the swords become, the more both of us will remember who we’ve been.
So if I eat everyone here you’ll be even more-
You clearly need to learn self-restraint, Ema.
Oh, come on, you too?

>If no one shows up, go after the guards that went in the same direction as Kr’inka and Karn.
After waiting long enough to make sure no one cared enough to show up after that scream, you start making your way in the direction towards the stream. There is a small path going there, but you make sure to move several meters away from it, just in case someone is on the way back towards the hut. It doesn’t take long until the trees become more spares and the forest opens up a bit.

You find the two guards following the stream, looking for… something on the ground every few steps?

-old is he anyway?
Going to be ten winters soon.
And he’s already reading books like that? Huh… he seems clever.
Oh, I’m so proud of my little dragon.

Now you feel kind of bad taking those two out… they have a kid after-

So I’m guessing he enjoys school, then?
Well, he does now.
Oh? Don’t tell me, you had to take care of some bully, right?
Why yes, there was this bitch that keep calling him names and hitting him.
Let me guess… you threaten her parents? Or… oh, you didn’t actually dump her body somewhere, did you?
Threw it into the incinerator at the morgue. That thing is already filled to the brim with bone fragments no one would notice a few more, right?
Hah! Clever! Oh, I bet her parents must be worried sick, haha!
Let me tell you, just the day after her father came up to me and told me his daughter was missing and that he wanted me to look for her. I almost laughed right in his stupid face!
Hah! I wish I was there. I wanted to see his stupid face as he bowled his eyes out! Hehe…

And suddenly all that doubt is gone. Yeah, this one deserves justice as well. Geez, does the guard have quota for psychopaths or something?

Hey, look at this. Another set of prints. This one of a Sakkilian, I think? It looks like… it was dragging our old lady into the woods?
Yeah, I can see signs of someone clumsily trying to get through that bush over there. Quick, after them!
Do you don’t think we’ll catch up to them? They seem to have a rather large head start?
It’s an old lady, she can clearly not run.
Oh, right. Let’s go then!

They start running almost straight towards you. You’ll need to act quick or they’ll catch up to Karn and Kr’inka.

Transform into Gev and begin combat. Attempt a nonlethal takedown on one of them, followed by direct combat on the other. No consumption, and try to capture them both alive.

I am enticed to just kill them right now, but i don't think leaving blood all over the place is a good idea. Maybe knocking them out with a surprise attack?

Nah, just demolish them completely as Gev. A rapid assault going for quick, gruesome kills and leave them there.

>>906339
>The more powerful the swords become, the more both of us will remember who we’ve been.
Hey, maybe now you can try asking your swords some questions it didn’t answer before? For example: Ask the swords if there’s something you can do about laying on some fat for your normal form? Because holy shit the weather is starting to get really fucking cold and having an extra layer of fat to help you retain some body heat would be extremely helpful right about now!

>>906340
>Threw it into the incinerator at the morgue. That thing is already filled to the brim with bone fragments no one would notice a few more, right?
That’s a good place to dump bodies that you don’t eat. Only problems are: You don’t know where that is and you don’t know how to get the bodies there without getting caught.

>They start running almost straight towards you. You’ll need to act quick or they’ll catch up to Karn and Kr’inka.
If you’re in between them and where they need to go, then don’t let them get past you.

Just pop up and punch them both in their throats to try and crush their windpipes! That’ll prevent them from screaming and they’ll hopefully suffocate to death! If one or both of them are still alive, then finish the job by putting one hand around each of their throats and squeezing until they die.

Then just hide the bodies in the bushes and you’ll worry about getting rid of them later, after you get rid of the last of the guards and making sure Karn and Kr’inka are safe.

Bird form, sword in hands. Wait for them to get close and attack.
If they fail to see you hit the second one first so the one in front will have her back to you.

Gev form.
Hide behind a wide tree if convenient; dive down into the bushes otherwise. Spring up to get a quick kill with your sword on one and paralyze the other, then kill the paralyzed one. Going for two silent kills at once like that isn't likely to work out, so you'll have some room for error if you just grab one while stabbing the other.

>>906365
Stop trying to make Ema fat. She's fine the way she is.

Be careful. If they end up dead then this will come back to our new friend. Get the bird, eat them, then keep the parent alive. Use your tana shape and threaten them to return to their home and clean up their ways if they want to see their child again.

>>906340
They're pretty close together. Think you can jump onto one of them to paralyze them, while slicing the other at the same time?

>>906374
>Stop trying to make Ema fat. She's fine the way she is.
Considering the way she complained about it here: >>/questarch/861072 , when she said, “Gah, why can’t you get as round as Justina? It’s not fair…“ it’s actually something that she wants, not me.

...wait, Ema hasn't digested Tana yet? That means the cravings aren't strongly associated with the act of digestion, but rather the act of eating or the presence of an evildoer in her "belly".

Ema should try to avoid digesting Tana for as long as possible, to see if the cravings even come up again.

>>906390
No, she already digested Tana. It was right here: >>903866 . When we’re told that we’ve gained a form, that means that person has been digested.

>>906414
Then what's with this
>Hey! You still haven’t started taking care of… err… the Serpent you just ate? At least, what’s left of her?

>>906481
That’s the Serpent guard that was stuck in the window of Kr’inka’s house.

Because Ema snapped that guard’s neck while her head was sticking out of Ema’s mouth, she didn’t get all of the soul, as the swords have stated here: >>905529 .

I think that if we end up getting that guard’s form, it’s going to be missing a head, which will make it useless for us to use.

Ema can't get fat, but she can turn into a monstrosity and lose herself if she eats like crazy! Justice can't be like that! That is a bad guy's thing!
Hey, swords, help me out here! Do you have a memory where you eat too much and went beserk?

>>906484
Oh, I thought the digestion would've been invalidated and the life energy dispersed through the head that was sticking out.

I'd really like Ema to get that Serpens out of her, now. Well, once she finds a place to dispose of it.

FOCUS ON THE NOW, EMA! They are about to run past you!
Oh, right.
>Gev form.
Well, duh…

>If they fail to see you hit the second one first so the one in front will have her back to you.
Neither of them seems to notice you as they close the distance, the Varkian even managing to jog right pass you unknowingly. As soon as the Sakkilian passes you, you jump out from your hiding spot and attack her.
>Attempt nonlethal takedowns.
You hit her hard in the side of the head with the pommel of your sword, knocking her off her feet and making her fall to the ground. The Varkian notices your intrusion immediately and tries to draw her sword, but with her having to both stop her sprint and turn around to face you, you can easily grab her sword arm before she can even try to swing it. It gives of a painful cracking sound as you bend it the wrong way, your superior strength making it easy to break her arm without any trouble.
>finish the job by putting one hand around each of their throats and squeezing until they die.
The lizard on the ground tries to get up on shaking arms, still being dazed by the hit to her head, but you don’t let her get far before you give her a hard kick to the side of the ribs, flipping her over. Before she can catch her breath again, you slam down your foot on her throat and start to strangle her. The bird on the other hand barely notice that you’re there, to chocked by what you did with her arm, but you soon change that as you grab her around the throat and lift her off the ground, chocking her.

>Be careful. If they end up dead then this will come back to our new friend.
…but as you see that you’ve won you lessen your grip of the roasts throat somewhat to let her breath, as well as lifting your foot from the meat on the ground as she gasp for air. They’ll live… for a moment longer.
>Threaten the food on the ground to return to their home and clean up their ways if they want to see their child again.
P-please… I’ll d-do a-anything… I-I w-won’t hurt a-another soul!

…you can feel her soul darken as she lies to you. She craves revenge, not redemption. She’d rather find a way to hurt you later, or the old lady, than ever mend her wicked ways.

>Ask the swords if there’s something you can do about laying on some fat for your normal form?
You cannot gain anything from normal food, including body mass. The only thing that can change your normal form is the consumption of wicked folk.
So… if I eat enough people I’ll get some really nice, curvy, egglaying hips?
…well, in theory, yes, but it doesn’t exactly wo-
Then I’ll eat the whole town and get the curviest hips out there! Aw yeah!
*Sigh*… why do I even bother?
>Stop trying to make Ema fat. She's fine the way she is.
You’re not sure about that… after seeing those really tasty hips Justina was sporting, you’re feeling a bit self-conscious. She had those kinds of hips you just want to bury your snout between and… wait, that’s an idea! Next time you meet her, you’ll just take her up to her room and bury your face in those hips and eat her out… before eating her and getting those hips yourself! Genius! Maybe you can get Danus to bury his snout in your hips and eat you out as well afterwards! Even more GENIUS!
>She can turn into a monstrosity and lose herself if she eats like crazy! Justice can't be like that! That is a bad guy's thing!
Hey, just because you’re a bit hungry doesn’t mean you’re a monster! Bad guys eat good people while you eat bad people… which makes you a good guy, right? That’s how that works, right?

>Hey, swords, help me out here! Do you have a memory where you eat too much and went beserk?
Oh, yes, we have plenty of memories like that. She who fights monsters and all that.
But that was because they ate good people, right?
If you want to look into the abyss, make sure you have to will to do so. You will never be completely sated, always looking for more. The more life essence you absorb…
So if I only eat them and don’t digest them…?
You would be fine, in theory, but-
Sweet! Let’s eat!
BUT do you think you have the will to not absorb them when they are already down there?
…um… y-yes? Maybe? I think?
>The morgue is a good place to dump bodies that you don’t eat.
The problem is, how are you supposed to get inside with the bodies to dump… and where even is the morgue anyway?

>...wait, Ema hasn't digested Tana yet?
…you’re pretty sure you started digesting her right after you ate her to shut her up, remember? You even got her form while… um… you and Karn were getting a workout? The Serpent currently in your tummy is the guard you ate at the old ladies hut… the one you accidently torn the head off?
>I think that if we end up getting that guard’s form, it’s going to be missing a head, which will make it useless for us to use.
…geez, that would be a morbid form to have. How would that even work, anyway? Would you just… die? Maybe you shouldn’t absorb her body...
>I'd really like Ema to get that Serpens out of her, now. Well, once she finds a place to dispose of it.
A headless corpse is bound to bleed all over the place, so you’ll need somewhere special to dump that thing… but speaking of dumping corpses…

What are you to do with these two guards? You can’t strangle them forever, can you? And you can’t let them go, because they’ll clearly come back with more guards to harass the old lady so…
Just put them out of their misery? You guess you’ll need somewhere to hide their corpses but…
Or you can just hide them inside your tummy for a while? At least until you’ve dealt with the others and know what to do next.
…or you can just eat them and absorb them. You’re bound to get some killer hips that way, right?

Eat and absorb. Cleanest way to get rid of them.

>>906602
Strangle them to death. Won't leave any blood, which means it'll be easy to move the bodies to a better place to dismember them and be rid of the meat. Our goal is to make them disappear without anyone figuring out how it happened. In the short term you put their bodies into the bushes. You should come back after you've dealt with their boss and maybe get Karn to find some place nearby that can be used to either dump them outright or chop them up without leaving bloodstains.
Do not eat them alive. You don't have the willpower yet, and willpower comes with practice. Once you get the head guard in your hands you can gobble her up and practice NOT digesting her. You won't know if you can selectively digest people, so having that headless Serpens in your tummy as well should keep you from doing it at least until you can dispose of the headless corpse.

You ate too much today. Just bury them in a random spot in the woods, then come back and pour acid on the remains.

Incinerator might be too secure at the moment.

"Maybe, just maybe, I'll let you go if you tell me where this incinerator is."

If she doesn't, continue strangling.
If she does, thank her, then continue strangling.
Find a temporary hiding spot for the bodies. We can figure out a permanent solution later.

Make sure you identify a way to remember where the body-hiding spot is - don't want to just lose 'em.

Ema, you clearly have a problem. You can't ate more than one person a day, or you will defenitly get out of control. FOR ONCE, listen to the swords, you are part of them now after all. Besides, there has to be a side efect for eating too many evil souls. Is like when you transform into Vivi. You gain some of her personality, and that can get out of hand. Souls are powerful things. You can't treat them as just food, they are life. And life has strength on it's oun. They can overpower you. The excess is the downfall of the powerful, and you are indeed powerful.

>>906602
>Then I’ll eat the whole town and get the curviest hips out there! Aw yeah!
The idea was to help you fight off the cold because of how much you complain about it!

And you can’t eat the entire town! Don’t become a monster, you fool!

>You’re not sure about that…after seeing those really tasty hips Justina was sporting, you’re feeling a bit self-conscious. She had those kinds of hips you just want to bury your snout between and…wait, that’s an idea! Next time you meet her, you’ll just take her up to her room and bury your face in those hips and eat her out…before eating her and getting those hips yourself! Genius!
Actually, Justina is on the same level as Karn and Oran, in the grey area, but closer to good than evil. So you can’t eat her.....yet.

And eating her to get her hips for yourself would still make them her hips, since you’d need to be in her form to have them.

>Maybe you can get Danus to bury his snout in your hips and eat you out as well afterwards! Even more GENIUS!
You’re forgetting that Danus said that he wanted you to find someone else. Don’t you want to honor his wishes?

And no, that doesn’t mean you can seduce him in a different form!

>Bad guys eat good people while you eat bad people…which makes you a good guy, right? That’s how that works, right?
The bad people don’t eat the good people! You’re the only person in town that can eat people!

>Oh, yes, we have plenty of memories like that.
Then how does the digesting thing work? Is it all at once or can Ema selectively digest one at a time? Because if it is selective one at a time, then she could eat them all if we keep Ema’s willpower strong enough to not digest them all.

Speaking of being selective, if we eat more than one person, could we selectively spit them out (eating people A, then B, then C, but being able to spit A out before either B or C) or would it always be in reverse order of who we ate (eating people A, then B, then C, we’ll always spit out C, then B, then A)? I’m asking so that we can know if we can spit out that headless corpse after eating the head guard, without also spitting her out, or if we need to spit out the corpse before we eat the head guard.

Also, if we digest more than one person, would their forms combine? Could we even make a hybrid form like that Athena Mediean lady?

.....and, uh, do you have any memories that can help Ema with being seductive? Because in case you haven’t noticed, she’s really bad at it. Oran was the only person that’s worse than Ema at seduction.

>>906604
Yeah, I agree with this.

Kill these guards and hide the bodies to deal with them later. And then eat the head guard and practice not digesting her to train your willpower. Once you’ve proven that you actually have some self control, we’ll consider letting you eat more than one person at a time.

>Eat and absorb. Cleanest way to get rid of them.
That’s right. It’s the only way to get rid of these pesky guards without leaving evidence… and you’ll get a nice, big me-
>Ema, you clearly have a problem. You can't eat more than one person a day, or you will definitely get out of control. FOR ONCE, listen to the swords, you are part of them now after all.
…aw, come on… fine… you won’t eat them.

>Strangle them to death. Won't leave any blood, which means it'll be easy to move the bodies to a better place to dismember them and be rid of the meat.
The meat on the ground, still dazed from her head wound, tries to find something on her belt but manages only to fumble around a bit with her hands. You put a stop to it as you step down on her throat harder, until you feel something snap and her body go limp. The meal in your hand on the other hand manages to put up some token resistance, as she pulls a dagger with her unbroken arm. Still, it’s pointless, as you easily catch her arm by the wrist with your free hand before squeezing the life out of her with the other.
>I'll let you go if you tell me where this incinerator is.
…
Wops…
I don’t think the morgue would be a viable option anyway. It’s probably guarded or at least manned by people we can’t easily remove.

>Just bury them in a random spot in the woods, then come back and pour acid on the remains.
You don’t have time to make a grave, nor the tool to do so. Besides, acid doesn’t just make stuff disappear, does it? Not something big as a body, at least?
>In the short term you put their bodies into the bushes. Make sure you identify a way to remember where the body-hiding spot is - don't want to just lose 'em.
They are near the stream, in the bushes filled with nettles and poison ivy, right next to that kind of big rock. Easy to find and the nettles will keep people away… for a while, at least.

Now, let’s head back and plan our next move. The other guards are bound to be suspecting something by now.

>The idea was to help you fight off the cold because of how much you complain about it!
Hey, you can have multiple reasons why you want some nice hips, okay? But keeping warm in this damn cold is a good reason… brr… you really need to get some more things for your Gev form, this cloak is kind of cold…
>Actually, Justina is on the same level as Karn and Oran, in the grey area, but closer to good than evil. So you can’t eat her.....yet.
She’s emergency food, yes, you know… and seeing as this town is a freaking smörgåsbord of evil, she’ll probably not be on the menu for some time…
>You’re forgetting that Danus said that he wanted you to find someone else. Don’t you want to honor his wishes?
You already did someone else, Karn, remember? And you’ll probably do Oran as well, so…
>And no, that doesn’t mean you can seduce him in a different form!
You’re no fun…
>The bad people don’t eat the good people! You’re the only person in town that can eat people!
You’re pretty sure there are a bunch of bad people that eat people around here… somewhere… like… zombies or… something? Oh, vampires, maybe? Or do they just drink blood? Hmm…

>How does the digesting thing work? Is it all at once or can Ema selectively digest one at a time? Speaking of being selective, if we eat more than one person, could we selectively spit them out?
With training and experience, you can chose those that will be turned into power or which will be… discarded… as in, spit out.
>Because if it is selective one at a time, then she could eat them all if we keep Ema’s willpower strong enough to not digest them all.
That’s right, I can just-
You are clearly not ready for something like that, Ema.
Aw…
>Once you get the head guard in your hands you can gobble her up and practice NOT digesting her.
That would be a good place to start, yes.
Eat the yummiest guard, got it.
>Also, if we digest more than one person, would their forms combine? Could we even make a hybrid form like that Athena Mediean lady?
It works more like it does when you collect the proteins without consuming people. The form will be that of a known species, not a hybrid, but might take some characteristics of those that you absorbed.
>do you have any memories that can help Ema with being seductive?
That is, sadly, not how the memories works.
But you’ve thought me how to fight and-
Skill is pure habit. We are what we repeatedly do. We are a sword, a weapon, not some bard in a tavern.
So… you suck at seducing people as well?
If that the way you want to see it, yes. Now, focus on the here and now, Ema. There are enemies abound.

You find yourself back at the herbalist’s hut, in front of which Terroza and her two goons are feverously looking for something.

Dammit, where is she!? TSUI!? Where the fuck are you!? Gah! Katrina, are you sure you heard someone scream earlier?
I can’t be completely sure but… um… I think so?
Well, fuck… You two, keep watch out here. I’ll go in and grab anything I can find. Hopefully she just got lost and not something worse…
We’re on it, boss! Katrina, keep watch towards the stream, I’ll keep watch towards the other direction.
Back to back badasses, Hana, just like old times, eh?
Nothing will get past us!

And with that the guard captain enters the hut and disappears, leaving her two lackeys to watch the door.

Do the old make a bush shake trick to separate them, then kill one and eat the other. Id suggest eating at least one minor guard. Multiple guard forms will be handy to traverse the city later in case one become compromised.

Hmmm. This is still a tricky situation, there are three enemies now, and two of them will be able to see you and alert the third one if you rush towards them. Maybe using a disguise? Make them drope their guard down and get close enough so you can dispose of them quietly, leaving the big red one all for tourself, without her noticing. Tasty, tasty red one.

Also, i know this is not a good time to think about it, but, can we do something about the child of the guard? They don't deserve to lose her mother, even if she was an evil bitch. It can hurt them in the long run and make them evil as well. Any ideas?

Fighting them now will completely jeopardize your previous efforts of reducing incriminating evidences for the old lady. Keep you distance and wait for them to leave. You can attack when they are on the road or looking for their other missing friends.

Such stalwart sentries, what ever will we do?

Just go around them and sneak in the back door. Or sneak into the bush under the open window, and wait for them to look away before jumping inside.

>>906877
There are support groups for that. Like orphanages.

>>906873
Idea: pose as a customer that found the dead body of Tsui. Just gotta put your swords away again so they think you're not a threat. Could be even better if you spit up the headless body somewhere and lead them to it so that they have something to focus on while you attack from behind.
Hmm, can you spit it up backwards then suck the blood from the stump so it doesn't spill anywhere?

>>906877
Neither did the kid she murdered.

We can responsibility for harming who we kill but it's absurd to take responsibility for harming those who will miss them. Where would that stop? Not everyone is a parent, even though many people are, but everybody is a daughter or son, everyone have family and/or friends, there is always people who will miss you.
Should we forgive crimes from people who successfully fulfill their biological imperative? As far as I'm concern they should be judged even harsher for risking the relation with their children if they ever face justice.

Beside, what could we possible do that wouldn't worsen the situation?

Isn't there another entrance to the building? Or at least a window on the other side? A brief appearance from Vivi right in front of the guard captain might get her yelling at the other guards, making them run off from their post in pursuit.

>>906873
Maybr you should kill the red guy first since he's going to be alone. Also I'm pretty sure Danus was being modet, he's totally into you.

>>906881
Every action, especially killing, has consequences. We are responsible for any consequences of the actions we willfully choose. You don't stop trying to mitigate the bad consequences just because "they'll never stop". We made a conscious decision to engage and execute these two, with full knowledge that one of them has an intelligent son; that means any direct consequences of this are on our hands.

We don't have custody of the kid whose parent we just murdered, for sure, but we can locate evidence of their wrongdoing, explain that she still loved her son despite how rotten she was, or at the very least, just say she died in the line of duty. We should also scan the son for the level of corruption he has, and act accordingly.

Besides, if we leave this alone, and that father finds out what happened to his daughter, he might have some ideas on how to get payback. If you don't tell him she got punishment for what she did, he might try to inflict it on her son.

>Back to back
One weakness: Easily distracted from synergy.

Throw a bunch of rocks in one direction, wait for one of the guards to investigate, sneak attack.

>>906888
If she was under orders from the baroness than you are correct that she died in the line of duty, but that tell us a lot about this city condition. It's entirely possible that their orders to murder the innocent herbalist didn't came from authorities, meaning she died during an act of corruption.
Her death in particular is great example of serving justice because there are many angles that justify why she deserved and why her absence is a benefit for most. We knew she killed the innocent before, when we attacked she was seeking an innocent to kill and because she had no regret or intention of changing her ways there is high chance that she would kill more innocents in the future if she lived. How many old ladies and little kids would have to die so this one child can be raised by a serial killer?
We committed a crime by killing this guard, one that we have no regret or intention to repent because she deserved it as much or more that the other two guards we killed and don't care about. On top of the responsibility of being a murderer you are asking to take the responsibility of harming her son for killing her mother. Here is the problem: the same action is being judged twice. Why can we justify killing someone who deserve when they don't have children but cant when they do? If their death is justifiable it's the sociopath fault for putting her child in a situation where the just outcome is the death of one of his parents.

Justice is about punish evil actions, not reward good deeds. We should be concern with the people who where hurt by those we judge, not those who received help. If you insist we have to take in consideration their good acts at least balance them with the bad.

The kid still have a father. It's likely that the guards have some kind of pension for their families because corrupt governments need to maintain the moral and loyalty of the law enforcement.
Ema have nothing to offer. She doesn't have spare money or a reliable job. She can't raise a kid because she is a hungry cannibal undead who will inevitable lose her sanity. She can't offer wisdom because she haven't deal with the lute yet. She can't even offer an explanation for what happened without confessing to the crime.

We could make some parallels between Ema losing her parents because of a somewhat reluctant murderer and this kid losing her mother because of Ema. The difference is that this guard was killed for the crimes she committed and was planing to commit while Ema family and friend were killed for the collective crime committed by their... not race. ...community? ...fellow members of the animal kingdom? ...something done so long ago that isn't even recorded in local history. It's like condemning jews for killing Jesus, it's bullshit.

>>906896
Are you actually responding with a serious wall-o-text to KOME?

>>907000
Kome sometimes say strange things but he is an intelligent person.
I got more frustrated than I should though...

I... got the feeling that maybe i shouldn't had said what i said about the child. I counldn't help it though, i couldn't just ignore the fact that there was a child somewhere that losed their mom, even if her mom was a horrible person.

Why are there more posts talking about some guard’s kid that we’re probably never going to meet? There’s barely any plans about how to deal with the guards that are currently in front of us right now!

I’m just going to quote what the swords said earlier, ”FOCUS ON THE NOW!!!”

Nothing about that guard’s kid matters right now. We need to focus on the guards that are in front of us right now!

>>906873
>I’ll go in and grab anything I can find.
And now we’ve gotta strip her so that we don’t accidentally eat anything that belongs to Kr’inka.

>2 guards outside
A few questions: Now that we’ve gotten a little stronger, does our paralyzing touch last longer? Can we use it more often? Can we use it on more than one person at a time? Can we use it from a distance now or do we still need to touch someone?

Did we conveniently remember any other magic that we can use right now?

It would be nice to know what else we’ve got to work with.

>>907044
Also, if we have any memories that have some kind of skill with throwing weapons, then we need to start keeping some knives or something with us.

And be careful with passing in front of that open window! You don’t want Terroza to reach out, grab you, and yank you inside!

Sneak around to the back of the house (keep a watch on the windows).
One at the back, throw a rock over to the side. This will hopefully distract one of the guards.

If one moves and one stays, go in for a quick back-of-the-neck stab on the stationary one, then quickly run and kill the one who moved.
If they both move, you've got a good opportunity to get two quick stab-kills from behind, as long as you're quick and quiet.
If they both stay... we'll have to come up with something else. Perhaps knocking on the house slightly will lure one of them over. If doing this, move back a bit after knocking, and use paralysis + stab to get a silent kill before moving on to the second.

As this area's a bit more clear, blood isn't as much of a concern as long as it doesn't spray everywhere - should be easy enough to clean up.

Hey swords, do we have any archery knowledge? That'd be really useful in stealthily dispatching foes later on.

You’re not sure there’s anything you can really do for them, can you? Sadly, that’s just how it’s going to be. If you’re to stop people from hurting others, you might in turn hurt those close to them. It’s still the lesser evil and all that.
>There are support groups for that. Like orphanages.
You’re sure his father can take care of him… or at least you hope so.

Err…

R-right, focus! You have a meal to get!

>I’d suggest eating at least one minor guard. Multiple guard forms will be handy to traverse the city later in case one becomes compromised.
Hmm… if you can snatch one without trouble, maybe… but the real problem is getting the uniform, isn’t it? The uniform is the part people look at, not the person.
>Tasty, tasty red one.
Mmm… hatred and rage… such spicy food~
>And now we’ve gotta strip her so that we don’t accidentally eat anything that belongs to Kr’inka.
You just need to pat her down… and remove that metal chest plate of hers. You’re not eating that thing.
>Did we conveniently remember any other magic that we can use right now? Any memories that have some kind of skill with throwing weapons?
…you might be able to throw your sword, you think? You’re not sure why you’d want to, though… you just have a lot of memories of sword throwing for some reason…


>Keep your distance and wait for them to leave.
You can’t do that. They are going to burn the place to the ground, remember? Besides, if some other customer arrives you’re not sure what they’ll do! They might hurt them as well just to not leave any witnesses! No, you need to deal with them now.
>Just go around them and sneak in the back door.
There aren’t any backdoors and seeing as the hut is pretty much one big room, getting in through a window without Terroza noticing you would be difficult, if not impossible. You rather not have her catch you halfway inside, would you?
>Throw a bunch of rocks in one direction, wait for one of the guards to investigate, sneak attack.
Great idea!
Hey! Someone is throwing rocks from that bush over there!
GET THEM!

Oh shit, let’s get away from here! While you’re confident you can take one of them in a fair fight, fighting both of them at the same time while being stuck in bad terrain is a risk you rather not take if you can help it, even if you can win.

…no one is here?
Maybe it was a bird or something?
Birds don’t throw rocks! Clearly someone is messing with us, so be vigilant!

>Idea: pose as a customer that found the dead body of Tsui. Make them drop their guard and get close.
Now that’s an idea… yet… you can use your current disguise, just in case they saw you run away from that bush, can you? Which means you need to change back to your old clothes… and the only form that fit in those, unless you want to walk around with your butt bare, are your real one and… Elric. Right, it’s Elric time!
>Could be even better if you spit up the headless body somewhere…
While it would be a great distraction, you rather not leave a bunch of blood and gore near this place. Besides, someone else might see or find the body before you can take care of it again and… well, things will only get even more complicated.

Help! Guards!
Huh!? What now? Hey, stop right there! HANDS WHERE I CAN SEE THEM!
What the…

Justina? What are she doing here!?

Oh thank the goddesses someone is here! I heard someone screaming for help in the woods!
…okay? But why did you come running here and not back to town?
Because I was on my way here, it was closer and I didn’t really feel safe out in the woods by myself, of course! Last time I heard someone calling for help I was kidnapped by bandits and almost killed!
And the-
Why, if it wasn’t for the legendary hero who saved me, I would have been-
I SAID, who did you hear scream?
Um… I’m not sure… it was someone screaming for help? Something about a… foot, I think?
And the body?
…what body?
Okay, something is definitely wrong here. I don’t believe for a second that you heard a bunch of scre-

The guard stops in her tracks as suddenly all of you can hear a scream for help in the distance. While it’s too far away to really decipher who or what, exactly, they are screaming, the sound is coming from the stream… where you left the bodies…

The two guards seems to be at a loss at what to do… and Justina seem more concern about getting into safety of the hut than anything. Meanwhile you can hear something tip over inside and some swearing, but not indication that Terroza knows what’s going on out here. It’s time to… um… act?

Yup. Should have eaten them, now though we cant risk to let her see us kill this guard. Let them go off towards the sound and then go after the guard leader in the house. Time to feed.

I think we need to make them go near the bodys. Keep acting just a little more. Say something like:"You are guards, you are sopoused to defend us!" or something like that. The more nervus they are, the more troble they will have thinking properly and Justina might actually help with this. Once they take the bait, take them out like you did with the last two. And then make Justina get the hell out of here.

Justina's probably been party to worse, so, quoth the title of Light Club's song on the Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack: "Fahkeet".
Grab the back of the guard's sword (the way it points clearly indicates that only one side is a cutting side - grabbing the back of it should be no issue) and just pull it out of his hand.
Hoping that'll knock him off his balance, or at least get enough of a drop on him, use his sword to stab him.
Justina'll probably be enough of a distract for the other guard - give her a bit of a push forward.

>>907288
Justina isn't "murder" bad (not yet anyways), and thinks the guards are on our side on top of that. Suddenly attacking them will make her think we're the ones that pose a threat to her.

>>907282
>…you might be able to throw your sword, you think? You’re not sure why you’d want to, though…you just have a lot of memories of sword throwing for some reason…
Maybe your swords magically return to you when you throw them? Now might not be the best time to test that.

>>907283
>Hey, wait a second. If you saw a body, why did you come running here? Wouldn’t it make more sense to run towards the town?
That’s.....actually a good point. Shit, we didn’t think this through, did we?

Or we could’ve come up with something better and we could’ve already taken out these guards if we spent more time making a plan to get past these guards instead of wasting time by talking about that other guard’s child!

>>907284
>Justina
Oh, great. Now we’ve gotta blindfold her or knock her out!

>Um…I’m not sure…it was someone screaming for help? Something about a…foot, I think?
That sounds like it could be a lie to try and get the guards away from here. Could you feel Justina’s soul get darker from lying?

>Screaming coming from where we left the bodies
I’m hoping that’s not Kr’inka. Because if we tell the guards to go over there because someone needs help, we might be sending them straight towards the person they’re looking for!

Although we probably can’t send the guards over there because there’s a chance they could get away while we deal with Terroza! And the guards might make us come with them to keep an eye on us, which we can’t allow because that’ll give Terroza a chance to get away!

This sucks! Does anyone have a way to get out of this situation?

>>907308
I retract my "shove Justina" statement, but maintain my original plan. There's no way we're getting out of this with how the guard saw through our lies. Her reaction'll probably be "Not my problem..." if we attack the guard.

>>907283
>Why did you run here and not to town?
"This isn't the way to the police station? I thought it was... um... wait, which way did I just come from? I think from the body I took a right into the boulder... wait, that doesn't make sense... well, you should go check where the screaming is coming from-"
and then point in a completely different direction.

>What do
Allow Justinia to "comfort" you while the guards go to investigate. Begin stabbing enemies repeatedly.

…your swords are very magical, so that they would be able to do something like that does make sense, doesn’t it? You’ll need to experiment later.
>I’m hoping that’s not Kr’inka. Because if we tell the guards to go over there because someone needs help, we might be sending them straight towards the person they’re looking for!
You’re pretty sure an old lady like her can’t yell like that. That sounded more like someone young, someone who’s barely an adult, if that.

>Oh, great. Now we’ve gotta blindfold Justina or knock her out!
…or you can just eat her? It’s not like she’s important or anything.
>That sounds like it could be a lie to try and get the guards away from here. Could you feel Justina’s soul get darker from lying?
Her soul is the same, so either she didn’t lie, or the lie didn’t have darker intentions behind it. You’re pretty sure just lying won’t darken a soul, after all.
>Justina isn't "murder" bad (not yet anyways), and thinks the guards are on our side on top of that. Suddenly attacking them will make her think we're the ones that pose a threat to her.
If you attack now you’ll either need to “take care” of Justina yourself, or make sure she doesn’t know it was you who attacked them. You can’t see any reason why she would take your side, after all.

>Act lost.
T-this i-isn’t the way to t-the city!? I thought… um… w-wait, which way d-did I… b-but I turned around and… err… when I saw the body I… I… r-ran and… I… t-though I w-was running to… um….
Bah, typical male hysteria. Can’t even handle a body.
How dumb do you have to be to run in the wrong direction? *Sigh*… men…
Hey! This cutie just panicked a bit when he saw that ghastly sight. You can’t blame him for that!
>Allow Justinia to "comfort" you.
You allow Justina to embrace you in a comforting hug… and she clearly “accidently” guides your snout right into her cleavage as she stroke your head frills in a calming manner.
There, there, beautiful, no need to be alarmed. I’m here for you…
Ugh, what are we going to do about these two? We need to go check on that screaming…

The two guards forcefully lead you towards the stream with their swords draw, ready for any attack.

>Once they take the bait, take them out like you did with the last two.
Right, as soon as they get distracted by something, like the person needing help or… or… or the torn of limbs from the corpses you hid!? What in the world happened here!?

Oh, goddesses…
Eli? Freya!? B-but… y-you…

The two guards just stand there in silence for a few seconds… before it is broken by the scream of a young man.

HELP! SOMEONE, HELP! MY FOOT IS STUCK! HELP!

>>907537
What the hell? There's two sakkilians corpses here. There was only one sakkilian guard.

Anyway, it looks like a zombie got to them. Pretty fucking fast, too. Heyyy, I wonder if zombies have a bottomless appetite? Maybe you could feed the zombie to dispose of corpses.

But that's a thought for later. Take out these two guards IMMEDIATELY. As fast as possible. Then check on the screaming to solve that situation quickly, and finally run back then change into Ema to sneak behind the red bitch and save Justina. Optimally you should grab her by the head to paralyze her while at the same time putting your short sword to her throat and telling her not to move. That shouldn't reveal your paralysis power to Justina. At that point you tell Justina to leave unless she wants to see what you did to that bandit she didn't see the corpse of.

The Varkian looks like a cadbury creme egg after a gooed time.

Knock the two guards out while they're still in shock. You might need them as a distraction from the other ... bone-eating ... hunter in these woods. Then save that boy!

The other thing that was around here! It must be what fucked up the corpses. A zombie, of some wild animal or beast? How far are you from the sewers?
Any way, we have to be quick. Make them look for the one screaming, stay behind them. What ever you find, kill the guards. If what you find is a monster, leave it be with the copses, you can kill it later. If it is a person, save them. We need to save Justina as soon as we can... Or do we? Yeah let's, she is still usefull.

>Bah, typical male hysteria. Can’t even handle a body.
>How dumb do you have to be to run in the wrong direction? *Sigh*…men…
Note to self: Acting like a scared or confused male while in the form of a male will let you fool some people.

>>907537
>scream of a young man.
Oh, shit, that’s not Karn is it?! He’s the only other male that should be around here!

Wait a second. Ema, there's one too many corpses laying here. There's a second Sakkilian body, one that suspiciously looks exactly like the guard you suffocated. And what's more, it doesn't even have a cut on it when the others have been ripped and sliced.

Odds are whatever dined on the guards' corpses can also shape shift and took the Sakkilian guard's form to lay in wait for a trap. ...Most likely, it's that shapestealer you saw the bounty for. The one that was spotted near the city. The young man's cry is probably from a shapestealer as well, a mimicked phrase to lure prey into a ambush. Dunno if shapestealers work together or not, though. Assume they do for now.

Well, whatever you plan to do with the two live guards, be extra wary of that fake corpse and of any young man that's crying for help since they're both likely shapestealers. But remember that shapestealers are not intelligent. All they do is dumb mimicry. A simple question asked will reveal them, as they will not be able to understand and give a answer.

That there's a shapestealer or two lurking around here also presents another potential threat to Karn and Krinka besides the guards. You better finish up with these guards, deal with Terroza and save Justina ASAP so you can get Karn and Krinka outta here.

There anyway we can swallow that guard we have in our belly? That thing is only going to get worse in there if we wait. Then as nature has covered for us, we need to think of a way to eat the last two guards before they get taken out by this as well.

>>907588
Oh you reminded me of that. WE ARE NOT GOING TO DIGEST HER. She doesn't have a head and thus any form we gain would probably be fucked up. This is a good place to puke her up, actually. There's already blood all over the place, so another corpse in the pile isn't gonna make things any worse.

Quick, pretend to faint! It’s the manliest thing to do in this situation!

“Oh, Goddesses! I...I think I’m gonna...” *insert manly fainting noises here*

On your guard - there shouldn't be three bodies. There's fuckery afoot. Keep your guard up until you're sure it's nothing more.

Feign fainting. Let the guards investigate the bodies, hopefully moving past you. If that third one is some sort of danger, stay down, use surprise to get the jump on it. If it is just a third corpse that's show up for whatever reason, well... two guards to paralyze, two hands to do so with, and a perfect opportunity.

>There anyway we can swallow that guard we have in our belly?
…you have already swallowed them? That’s how they got there? Do you mean absorb?
>WE ARE NOT GOING TO DIGEST HER. She doesn't have a head and thus any form we gain would probably be fucked up.
Right, good point. You rather not accidently kill yourself or something by taking a form without a head.
>This is a good place to puke her up, actually. There's already blood all over the place, so another corpse in the pile isn't gonna make things any worse.
That’s right… though, you better wait until you’re actually safe and without witnesses, as you have no idea how hard it will be to… expel it, so to speak.

>It looks like a zombie got to them. Pretty fucking fast, too.
…don’t zombies only eat the living? You’re pretty sure they just eat living things, kind of like you… or at least, freshly killed ones. Wait, would these two be considered freshly killed?
>If what you find is a monster, leave it be with the copses, you can kill it later.
Hmm… it is a good alibi for the corpses, yes, but still… it might put Krinka in danger… or Karn… or some other innocent. You can’t just let it roam free, can you?
>What the hell? There's two sakkilians corpses here. There was only one sakkilian guard.
Wait, you’re right! That doesn’t add up! Something fishy is going on here!
>Odds are whatever dined on the guards' corpses can also shape shift and took the Sakkilian guard's form to lay in wait for a trap.
…weren’t there a bounty on a shapestealer or something? They would fit into the eat corpses and shape shift theory… which means…
>The young man's cry is probably from a shapestealer as well, a mimicked phrase to lure prey into an ambush.
This is definitely an ambush. There are at least two of them, waiting for some poor shmuck to come running in an attempt to help, but as soon as they pass the corpses the fake one will spring to life and attack them. Hmm… maybe you can trick the guards into that trap?

>Quick, pretend to faint! It’s the manliest thing to do in this situation!
“Oh, Goddesses! T-those t-three… t-they’ve been… I...I think I’m gonna...” *Manly fainting noises*Thud*
Dammit, don’t faint on us now!
Forget it! Just leave him here! Look! Three bodies, as he said! One too many!
Wait, so does that mean… shapestealers!?
It’s got to be… damn, and we don’t have any spears with us…
>But remember that shapestealers are not intelligent. All they do is dumb mimicry. A simple question asked will reveal them, as they will not be able to understand and give an answer.
WHAT IS THE COLOR OF THE SKY!?
HELP! PLEASE!
ANSWEAR ME, DAMMIT! WHAT IS THE COLOR OF THE SKY!
HELP! SOMEONE, HELP! MY FOOT IS STUCK! HELP!
It’s shapestealers, alright…
>Knock the two guards out while they're still in shock. You might need them as a distraction from the other ... bone-eating ... hunter in these woods.
Okay, here’s the plan… why’ll just back away slowly and hope they don’t attack us.
Let’s just leave the male here, that would probably be enough food for them to let us go.
Great idea! That will surely slow them down enough for us t-

Seeing as they are both to distracted to even notice you getting up again, you easily sneak up on them and smash their heads together hard enough to render them unconscious. As they fall to the ground you can’t help but notice that the screaming for help has stopped… you’re not sure if that’s a good thing or not.

>We need to think of a way to eat the last two guards before they get taken out by this as well.
Well, they are lying at your feet, unconscious, ready to be gobbled up… but then again, if you killed them here, no one would probably even think twice about the extra bodies… or maybe you can just leave them to the shapestealers? Speaking of those monsters, what are you to do with them? You can’t just leave them to roam free, especially after they have gotten a taste for people… someone innocent might get hurt!

…you’re pretty sure you saw one of the bodies move… and the bushes to your left rustled slightly… they might have figured out that you won’t walk into their ambush?

Take one guard body and leave the other if the thing in the bushes comes running out. We really need to absorb one these guards for another form.

Shit, Justina will have to wait. We need to deal with this monsters now. If one of the bodies loooks unharmed, it's probably a shapestealer. Stab all the corpses to make sure they are just corpses or to just kill them for good, then we go and deal with the one in the bushes.
Hey! Would eating a shapestealer grant us a benefit on making a new form, swords?

>>907753
This was an ambush. They have their prey captured now-- the two guards. The shapestealers probably consider you one of them! I believe now that you are an augmented shapestealer. The swords give you an advanced mind, but your body itself is very similar to theirs. That's why piercing attacks are required to kill you and them.

Back away, wait for them to eat/kill the two guards, then ambush them right back by using thrusting attacks with your swords. The shapestealers will probably be easy to kill since they don't have any weapons which can hurt you.

>>907763
>Back away, wait for them to eat/kill the two guards, then ambush them right back by using thrusting attacks with your swords. The shapestealers will probably be easy to kill since they don't have any weapons which can hurt you.
I agree. And don’t forget to spit ou the headless Serpent guard’s body onto the pile!

Just let the monsters maul the bodies first, so that their deaths can be explained away as a monster attack instead of a person killing them.

Then you should rush back to find Justina because I have a feeling Terroza is going to do something bad to Justina!

Vomit up the body, leave the two guards there.

Back up a bit. Gets your swords out. Wait for the shapechangers to make their move.

Quickly write "shapestealers" in blood on the ground and go deal with Justina now. The live guard bodies will hopefully keep the shapestealer(s) occupied long enough to come back and deal with them afterward, and the message should be enough to make Karn stay back.

>>907820
Hmmm, good point. Justina may need help. Changing my vote to "stab guards' necks, vomit up other body, book it".

>Quickly write "shapestealers" in blood on the ground, that should be enough to make Karn stay back.
Writing anything in blood on still wet grass is a fool’s errant. Besides, Karn is probably back in town by now and not anywhere near here.
>We really need to absorb one these guards for another form.
…gah, you really want to but… you’ve already decided that you’ll need to show some restraint, right? You’ll just have to be content with eating the big, red one… for now… (Then when you’ve proven you can show restraint you can go on a bender and eat a ton of people, right? That’s how it works, right?)

>Hey! Would eating a shapestealer grant us a benefit on making a new form, swords?
Only those with a high amount of life essence, that is to say people, give you any benefits. Shapestealers are nothing but animals with interesting ability.
>The shapestealers probably consider you one of them! I believe now that you are an augmented shapestealer.
While your abilities are similar to theirs, I do not believe they will think you’re one of them. They might be dumb animals, but they can still probably smell and feel that you’re not a shapestealer. Besides, they are a territorial bunch and would probably be aggressive even if they thought you were one of them.

>If one of the bodies looks unharmed, it's probably a shapestealer. Stab all the corpses to make sure they are dead.
While it is a dumb animal, you’re pretty sure it’s smart enough to not let you get close enough to actually stabbing it without it attacking.
>Back away and wait for them to eat/kill the two guards.
You back away from the guards and let the beast approach them. They seem to be content for now with their large meal you’ve presented to them, though they are still keeping a wary eye on you. One of them let out a menacing sounding growl to show you that you’re not welcome here and should leave.
>And don’t forget to spit out the headless Serpent guard’s body onto the pile!
It takes you several seconds to get the corpse out of you, and it’s not a pretty sight. As you puke out several liters of blood your body is screaming at you that you’re dying out of instinct, but when the headless corpse makes it way to your throat, it changes its tune to sheer confusion of what’s happening. Confusion is also the best word to describe the looks on the Shapestealers, as they stare at you trying to figure out if you’re dying or what the fuck is going on right now.

>You should rush back to find Justina because I have a feeling Terroza is going to do something bad to Justina!
You’re right! If you waste any more time she might be in danger! You just have to hope those two guards are enough to keep the monsters occupied for you to come back and deal with them later.
>Ambush them right back by using thrusting attacks with your swords. The shapestealers will probably be easy to kill since they don't have any weapons which can hurt you.
Then again, dealing with them now will probably not take too long… hmmm…

You grip her beak to silence her… and squeeze it hard enough for it to crack under your fingers…

Time to face Justice, FREAK.

You feel ill just looking at this disgusting thing. How dare someone like her even exist? No, you need to make sure to remedy this disease. If you cut off her head… or crush it between your hands… no… to fast… to… tame. You need to come up with something a bit more… exciting. This one deserves to suffer a bit… or a lot. Maybe you can light her on fire? Hmm… a good finisher, sure… or break all her legs… hmm… to time consuming, maybe? Or you can play hangman with her? And when she loses… heh… or… you can make sure that disgusting face matches her disgusting inside? oh, so many options, so little flesh to carve~

[You now have control over Terroza, the one consumed by wrath.]

Okay, you know what? Forget the hands-on torture. Anything you do to her has a chance of turning her on. You don't want to catch her sluttiness do you?

Lock her in a jail cell by her arms and let the &!+(# starve to death.

>>908120
Pull her feathers out.

>>908124
I mean, this sounds like the most appropriate bird torture method. Pluck her bald, then you can start getting inventive. Maybe get after her with a branding iron.

>>908118
>(Then when you’ve proven you can show restraint you can go on a bender and eat a ton of people, right? That’s how it works, right?)
Why would you think that's how it works?

Of course, lure them to the house. You can blame them for everything.

>>908120
Playing hangman? Sure, do that. Draw out the delicious horror on her face when she realizes the figure you're drawing will be her.

>>908124
This one sounds interesting, given how many feathers she must have. It must be really painful, especially in delicate areas.

You gotta keep some plausible deniability if you're going to frame her for arson. There aren't too many stairs out in the forest she can fall down, yaknowwhaimsayin? ANYway try not to fuck up too many of her fingers when you put the manacles on, or make her walk aaaaalllllll the way back to the prison on a broken foot. Oh yeah, toss her into the burning building so everyone looks at her singed-and-soot-stained self and says 'yep, that's an arsonist alright'.

Let's just beat her fat ass and nail her to the floor of the hut, we were going to set the thing on fire anyways. But not before we get that other witness, pardon: her accomplice in there as well, it wouldn't do to leave loose ends.
I wonder if we can make Terroza survive

Ema: No tricks; just take down Terroza as Elric. (We can't use Gev because Justina would be even more freaked out by him than our other forms.)

Terroza: Yeah, drag her into the bushes and pluck her feathers out. That'll show her for being... gross... on the inside? Why do we hate her, again? Unless we actually think she did what we're about to do... somehow?

Why should we go through all of that just to let Terroza get away?

EDIT: Also, I just remembered that it's because Terroza is homophobic, but I'm keeping it in because I wouldn't put it past her to get stuck and forget what she was thinking about. XD

Terroza, have all her feathers plucked off, then lock her in a dungeon.

Ema, fuck up terror lizard or whatever her name is.

>>908123
Locking her in a dungeon gives you plenty of opportunities to torture her while she slowly starves to death.

>>908118
>(Then when you’ve proven you can show restraint you can go on a bender and eat a ton of people, right? That’s how it works, right?)
No, that’s not how it works, you fool!

Once you’ve proven you can show restraint, then you can be happy knowing that you have control over yourself! You may be an undead monster, but you can choose to not be like a monster!

>>908120
Blindfold her so that she can’t see what’s coming. It’s a surprise for her!

>Why do we hate her, again?
Because she’s a fucking disgusting degenerate that has moved away from the fire of the goddesses!? Women are to be with men, nothing else! She’s also a freaking bird shit, most of those are just thieves and whores. Not upstanding citizen like us Sakkilians. You can count on one hand the Varkian you can actually trust.
>You gotta keep some plausible deniability if you're going to frame her for arson.
You “caught” her in the act, what more do they need to now? After all, you have all your subordinates who will agree that we caught her red handed.

>Let's just beat her fat ass.
As soon as you let go of her beak she tries to say something, but you keep her quiet by punching her in the gut hard enough to make her fall to the ground, gasping for air. Then, as she makes a vain attempt to get up again, you backhand her face, right over her eye, to teach her to stop struggling. She learns quickly and all the fight drains out of her as she simply lay there, beaten. In fact, she doesn’t even give a token of resistance as you drag her to the nearest tree and tie her to it, except for a low whimper.
>Pull her feathers out.
You grab a handful of feathers on one side of her face and rip them off. She tries to scream in pain, but she stifle it in her throat as she sees you glaring at her. This is fun…
>Anything you do to her has a chance of turning her on. You don't want to catch her sluttiness do you?
Hmm… you’ll simply need to make sure that she can never be excited about anything ever again… maybe with a hot iron and… hmm… so many ideas, so little time… if only you had more time…
>Locking her in a dungeon gives you plenty of opportunities to torture her while she slowly starves to death.
…OF COURSE! If you lock her up, you can have all the fun you ever want to with her! You just need to keep her away from the freaking warden. That bitch never let anyone have any fun… “prisoners have right to, you can’t torture them” and all that mumbo jumbo. They are criminals, they deserve to feel pain! So you’ll simply need to drag this fucker back to town, then…

>But not before we get that other witness, pardon: her accomplice in there as well, it wouldn't do to leave loose ends.
You were planning of just passing that cute ass around your women to boost moral before slitting his throat… it’s just easier that way. Speaking of him, you can hear someone coming back… someone that’s running? Hmm?

HELP! Shapestealers!

What? Shapestealers? Here? Something doesn’t add up here. The others wouldn’t have any trouble dealing with one of those cretins, would they? And Shapestealers aren’t usually known to chase after prey like this. Besides, you rather not have him see the filthy bird right now, so maybe you’ll just kill him right away and deal with whatever is following him afterwards?

Either way, you need to act now, as he’s just about to run out into the clearing in front of the hut.

>you have all your subordinates who will agree that we caught her red handed.

...well, that would be a great plan, wouldn't it?

No need to test if he's a shapestealer, since we're gonna attack him regardless, just get ready to strike the moment he shows his face.

>>908342
>I hate this bird bitch!
Admit it, you’re jealous of her curves.

You wish you had them for yourself, so that all the males would be lining up at your bedroom door for a chance at having the honor of being allowed to lay with you.

>The others wouldn’t have any trouble dealing with one of those cretins, would they?
The key word in that sentence is one. What if they ran into more than one?

>And Shapestealers aren’t usually known to chase after prey like this.
Again, there’s probably more than one. They’re chasing him because some of them are currently eating the others, but one or two of them didn’t get anything to eat, so they’re chasing after him.

>Besides, you rather not have him see the filthy bird right now
What does it matter? You said you caught her, which mean that she had a knife and tried to stab you. You’ve got a justified excuse for her to be beaten up and tied to a tree.

>so maybe you’ll just kill him right away and deal with whatever is following him afterwards?
He’s a male. If you save him, he’ll be so grateful, he’ll do whatever you say.

So if you tell him the bird bitch is guilty, then he’ll follow along with your story. Having another witness to her crimes will help, right? And if you want, you can convince him to personally “reward” you in your bedroom.

Just tell him to get behind you and deal with whatever’s following him.

>>908342
>one of those cretins
The boy clearly said "shapestealers". Your guards would have trouble with more than one, as they have no spears. Take the threat seriously, the bird can wait and the boy you can handle alone if he tries anything.

>>908360
This is true, there might a bunch of them. If you are not careful, your minions might have trouble. And since they are under you, it would look bad for you if the somehow fuck it up.
Also, wouldn't it be a wast to kill such a cute little male like that? If you save him, and look cool in the proces, his ass is yours. Males love heroic acts.

>>908342
Did your mother lay a wuss? Get in there and deal with the situation!

Grab 'em by that spot on the upper arm so he becomes powerless to resist you. Or, yknow, the throat. Your crew is going to need that morale if you've taken losses, which it looks like.

>Admit it, you’re jealous of her curves.

>All the males would be lining up at your bedroom door for a chance at having the honor of being allowed to lay with you.
Any male that you ever want will be yours, no matter if they want it or not! That’s how it’s always been! You don’t need any stinking curves to attract males! Who cares what they think anyway!? You don’t!

>Did your mother lay a wuss? Get in there and deal with the situation!
Your mother was a weakling and a thief, the only thing good she ever gave you before you hanged her was an iron will after all the abuse she inflicted on you.
>There might a bunch of them.
Shapestealers hunt alone… or with a mate in some rare circumstances, and then they are usually not as aggressive.
>Your guards would have trouble with more than one, as they have no spears.
While spears are usually the go to melee weapon to hunt beast and monsters with, they still got swords and know how to use them. Besides, they are smart enough to not walk straight into a shape stealer ambush, that you’re sure of!

>Your crew is going to need that morale if you've taken losses, which it looks like.
Losses? On a milk run like this? They might be hurt, sure, but you don’t think any of them have died. You’re sure of it! Well, maybe that snake freak. You kind of hope she died. You’ve never been able to stand that smug Serpent face of hers… those shifty snakes can’t be trusted.
>Take the threat seriously, the bird can wait and the boy you can handle alone if he tries anything.
That’s right. Keep the eyes on the next skull to crush. The shapestealer first, whatever comes next afterwards.
>Wouldn't it be a waste to kill such a cute little male like that? If you save him, and look cool in the process, his ass is yours. Males love heroic acts.
Eh, you’ll drag him to your bedroom either way… but then again, having him worship you for a while might be nice… at least until you get bored and want to hurt him a bit.

>Grab 'em by that spot on the upper arm so he becomes powerless to resist you.
He comes rushing out of the underbrush directly towards you, only slowing down in hesitation as he sees the fucking bird. That hesitation is quickly eradicated as the Shapestealer burst out from behind him, almost catching his leg as it lunges after him. You quickly grab his arm and pull him behind you, making sure that he’s safe from the beast, while also keeping a strong grip on him to make sure he doesn’t try anything stupid. As the monster lunges towards you, you end its leap with a hard smack with your mace in its face. Its beak splinter from the blunt trauma and the rest of its body is sent flying lifelessly several meters away. You don’t have much time to celebrate your victory as you catch a glimpse of something moving in the corner of your eye. Turning around, you swear you saw the male reaching out its free hand towards your head, but he was quick enough to pull back before you managed to get a good look. Your paranoia tells you that he’s up to something… but your brain tells you he’s no threat to you.

*Gasp* My hero! *Swoon*
…
Ugh…
Oh, how can I ever repay you, Terroza?
!?

Something is wrong. You can’t put your finger on it but something is very off. Where are the others? Why is this wimp the only one that came running? …how the fuck did he even outrun a freaking Shapestealer through rough train? How did he know your name? Something isn’t right with…
You finally notice what’s wrong as you try to move your arm. He resists your pull for a split second before giving in, but it’s enough for you to get a feel for him. He is strong… too strong. A man that looks like him can’t be that strong. As you stare into his eyes, you can’t see any of the fear you expect to see… instead, all you can see a hunger.

Your paranoia has only one thing to say… KILL HIM. KILL HIM NOW!
Your brain agrees.

Well, that is that then. A shame, really, but he is too suspicious. Stab him in the throat and be done with it. Or grab him by the neck and interrogate him. He might be an assassin or something, i am sure that you must have made some enemies that want you dead. You are kind of a bitch.

Well, looks like we gotta stab a hoe.

>>908484
Mace to the face. Clobber him until he can't move. Then start interrogating him. Where are the other guards? Did he fucking kill them?!

>>908490
>>908493
She has a mace, not a dagger. (also piercing attacks would kill Ema, what are you thinking? She's resistant to slashing and basically immune to bludgeoning, so thank god for Terroza's weapon pick. Don't give me that shit about how we've changed hosts, we're absolutely not supposed to metagame in order to help Terroza)

>>908498
All right, gee, i forgot ok? Clobber his legs, then interrogate him. Either way, he is dangerous, so we can't leave him be.

>>908484
>WHAT!? NO! Why the fuck would you be jealous of this fat slob!?
>You don’t need any stinking curves to attract males!
Denial is further proof that you are indeed jealous of not having the same attractive curves that bird has. Distracting thoughts are distracting from Ema and hopefully giving her an opening to do her thing.

>Where are the others? Why is this wimp the only one that came running?
The others were dumb enough to fall for the shapestealer ambush and he ran the moment the others got killed.

>…how the fuck did he even outrun a freaking Shapestealer through rough terrain?
He’s a male. They’re always running away from danger and towards the nearest female to protect them. Apparently, this particular male must’ve spent a lot of his life running towards the nearest guard for help.

>How did he know your name?
Well, duh, how could he not know your name?! You’re very well known in town, so he must’ve heard of you!

Or one of the others could’ve said your name and that’s how he knows your name.

>As you stare into his eyes, you can’t see any of the fear you expect to see…
That’s because he’s got nothing to be afraid of with you here. You do remember that you’re a badass, right?

>instead, all you can see a hunger.
That’s called “sexual hunger”. Which is to be expected since you just saved his life.

>Your paranoia has only one thing to say…KILL HIM. KILL HIM NOW!
>Your brain agrees.
Tell your brain to stop listening to your paranoia because it’s being stupid and wrong.

A Blue Mage, perhaps? One who has learned the ways of the shapestealers and made themselves look weak and manly, so they can... experience diverse cuisine.

That hunger will make him stupid, though. Act ignorant, ask if there are any more Shapestealers, and keep your sword equipped and ready to strike at the knees.

Kinda tall... for a guy, isn't 'he'? Only makes sense; she was hanging around that sicko bird brain.

>>908508
She doesn’t have a sword.

>>908484
I think it's time for a chokehold. Sheeming males don't need air.

Yeah. Chokehold. Do that.

>Denial is further proof that you are indeed jealous of not having the same attractive curves that bird has.
You’re not in denial! You have no need for nice curves, the only thing you need is your strength! Who cares if they find you attractive or not when you can just force them to like you!
>He’s a male. They’re always running away from danger and towards the nearest female to protect them.
True… but they usually run like sissies, with their hands cowering their face, and usually trip on the first obstacle they find. This fucker managed to outrun a fucking beast in a 100 meter race through rough train! You can’t do that! None of your women can do that!
>A Blue Mage, perhaps?
A what mage? Hmm… he might be some kind of spell thrower, that’s true… one of those wizzer types. Luckily, you know some magic yourself… only the kind that can affect yourself, sure, but punching someone hard enough to shatter rock is always effective.

>Kinda tall... for a guy, isn't 'he'?
Wait, he’s a… t-that freak, how dare she throw away her birthright like that! No, it this is true, she doesn’t deserve to live anyway.
>Tell your brain to stop listening to your paranoia because it’s being stupid and wrong.
You can’t count the time your paranoia has saved you. You’ve always listened to it and you won’t stop now. Besides, it’s not paranoia when you’re right!

>Grab him by the neck and interrogate him.
>I think it's time for a chokehold. Scheming males don't need air.
He clearly isn’t expecting you to suddenly pull him into a chokehold, as he barely have time to react before you start squeezing the air out of him. Though, even as you force your arm into his throat, he doesn’t so much as gasp or wheeze…

Who are you!? Who sent you!?
I-I’m j-just some unfortunate… um…

Noticing his mistake to late, he give himself away that he is clearly something more than just some male.
After all, who can speak that clearly while being freaking choked to death!? Though it seems that he knows the ruse is over, as he suddenly starts trying to break free. At first, you’re surprised by the sudden strength he is showing and he almost breaks free from your hold. His strength is far above anything a male can show… and would probably rival your own, if not outpace it. He has to be using magic! Luckily, you know a bit of magic yourself, and as his resistance increases, so does your own strength as you start pumping magic into your own muscles. The two of you stand there, seemingly stuck in an endless show of strength…

Then with a beautiful sounding crack, you feel him give of a last few twitches before slumping over lifeless. You broke the fuckers neck, so he wouldn’t be a problem anymore.

Wops~
…
Yeah, you better keep quiet if you know what’s good for you.

Well then… now that’s dealt with... you have to wonder what happened to the others… and who was this freak? You’ll probably never know for sure, what with him dead and all. But you better go check on the others… though, you rather not leave the bird shit here alone. Even when tied up, you know a birdbrain like her still probably have something up her sleeve… freaking thieves and scoundrels, all of them…

Hmm, what to do. If "he" was stronger than you, he might have been able to deal with your subordinates somehow. I don't know if it is worth it to go there and check on then, they are all probably dead already. You should finish what you started with the vermin with feathers.

> probably have something up her sleeve
Rip her sleeves off then. Or just fuck up her fingers, see what she can weasel her way out of with hamburger for hands.

Freak aside, there really was a shapeshifter, and that could mean trouble if this bucket kicker somehow used them to his advantage. Kick the dead guy for being a dumb bastard and find out where those two soldiers that accompanied him ended up.

Eh, might as well go check on the others.
As you said, there'll only be one more shapestealer at most, and a big strong woman like you will have no problem obliterating its face.

>>909056
>don’t want to leave the bird shit here alone.
What’s she going to do, ask the male’s corpse for help? Just leave her and go find out what happened to the girls that were supposed to be with that male.

You said it yourself, shapestealers are usually in groups of 2, so there should be 1 more somewhere around here. It’ll be best if you go deal with it now before it tries to sneak up on you.

Just make sure you gag the bird’s mouth so that she can’t call for help. The last thing you need is someone coming to rescue her.

>>909056
Then search her, make sure she's got no tricks. Or confiscate any you find. Then you can go check on your girls.

>You said it yourself, shapestealers are usually in groups of 2, so there should be 1 more somewhere around here.
Shapestealers usually hunt alone, unless they just found a mate. Hmm… that might have been why it was so aggressive, then? This male hurts it mate? Hopefully it killed it, so you don’t have to deal with it.
>Go check on your girls.
Hmm… you better make sure they are okay… after all, it’s going to be fucking bother if they got hurt. Oh, and Freya still owes you money… which she probably never repay because she’s a cheap bird shit.
>I don't know if it is worth it to go there and check on then, they are all probably dead already.
If they are dead they were weak and didn’t deserve to be part of your gang anyway! And… a-and it’s not you can just replace them… or… something. Bah, what are you saying? You’re sure they are fine… at least those that was actually reliable. Not like those birds and snake bitch… after all, Elizabeth’s sons birthday is soon and Hana was going to perform at that- No, they are fine… no need to worry yourself over them.

>Kick the dead guy for being a dumb bastard
STOP MAKING ME CARE ABOUT STUFF YOU FUCK!

You kick him hard enough for him roll away a bit, his dead body coming to a stop as one of his limp arms get stuck under him. A smile crosses your face as you watches his dead eyes look out into nothing, his tongue lolling out from his snout and… and… is he changing color!?

…it’s that blue bitch? Your brother did good to warn you about her… she must have been a hired assassin or something…

…you kick her dead body again just for the sake of it.

>You should finish what you started with the vermin with feathers.
That’s right, you can’t leave this bitch just… heh… hanging around, can you? That would be a way better use for this rope…
>What’s she going to do, ask the male’s corpse for help?
True, there isn’t a lot she can do right now… but she can scream for help and it would be annoying if someone came, so you better make sure that she shuts up.
>Just make sure you gag the bird’s mouth so that she can’t call for help.
That’s right, the easy solution is often the best… though, it would be even easier to just smash her face in and be done with it. Maybe you’ll just-

Wait, the rope… someone has been cutting the rope!?

Who did this!?
Mff?
Oh, right…

So either someone else is here, or she got a dagger hidden somewhere or something… and as you haven’t seen anyone else around…

>Then search her, make sure she's got no tricks.
You pat her down to see if she got anything on her, making sure to hit her a few times in the ribs and stomach so she can’t concentrate on hiding anything, but you come up empty handed… hmm…
>Rip her sleeves off then.
Grabbing her clothes, you rip off the arms of them and search through them… nothing… maybe she isn’t hiding something?
>Or just fuck up her fingers, see what she can weasel her way out of with hamburger bread patties for hands.
That’s right, the easy solution! You can just crush her fucking hands! Pulling out her arms, you grab hold of both her hands and start squeezing them in your gauntlets. She winces from the pain and tries to endure through the pain, but as you start pumping magic into the muscles in your hands she starts to panic as you hear her bones start to crackle.

MFF!? MFFF MFF!!!
That’s right, this is what you get for defying me… unless… heh…

You ease up on her a bit, letting the magic dissipate from your muscles… and instead you start to move it into your scales in your fingers. Soon enough, heat starts to build and you can outright hear her feathers fizzle from the sheer warmth of your metal gauntlets.

MFF!!! MFFFFFF!!!
HARHAR! I do love the smell of fried ankwark! Why, your hands will soon almost just melt o-

!!?

You saw something move near the corpse… you’re sure of it. But what?

Mff…

>>909283

Her eyes weren't closed before.

>>909283
Eyes weren't closed before... well, it's definitely a corpse, so there must be something or someone else here. Go over and search.
Unless that's something that can happen after a polymorph/disguise potion wears off?

Are you SURE you broke her neck right? That was a strong glamour, it might be capable of simulating neck snaps. Finish the job and rip her head clean off, not like she's going to survive that.

Your brother?

The magical disguise worn the rest of the way off; see, the head-ruffle things changed to horns & her snout changed shape. Also her mouth closed and her tongue isn't sticking out anymore... that's more suspicious, but is it something you'd see out of the corner of your eye?

Ok, paranoia is telling you now to SMASH THE FUCK OUT THAT SKULL, he is now blue and his scales are red now, and his eyes are closed now AND HE IS A SHE NOW! Haven't you seen her before?

>>909281
>STOP MAKING ME CARE ABOUT STUFF YOU FUCK!
Ha ha, you have feelings!

>Your brother did good to warn you about her
You’re upset at the bird for flirting with you, yet it’s perfectly fine for your own brother: >>904243 , to be a whore? Geez, you’re messed up.

.....try to not think about how sexy your brother looked and how much you really want to fuck him. Distracting thoughts are distracting.

>>909282
>Wait, the rope…someone has been cutting the rope!?
I’m pretty sure that was Karn, seeing as he’s probably the only other person around here capable of helping.

Well what are you waiting for, a knife in the back of your head? Look around before you get stabbed!

>>909283
>You saw something move near the corpse…you’re sure of it. But what?
It was probably a [insert in universe equivalent of a squirrel here].

.....hey, you know what a corpse doesn’t need anymore? Money. Search her pockets and take anything valuable!

>suggestions saying her eyes and mouth are closed
It’s just death spasms. You know, when the body twitches for a few moments after death.

There’s nothing suspicious about that. Dead bodies do that all the time.

>>909283
Crush the head to be safe. Better paranoid than dead.

Also, are you sure that's not somebody throwing something as a distraction?

>Your brother?
Yes, your big bro. He’s the one who warned you about this blue bitch and told you were she was.
>You’re upset at the bird for flirting with you, yet it’s perfectly fine for your own brother to be a whore?
He’s not a whore, he’s a… gentleman of nightly delight. A whore lick puss for a few coppers behind the pub, your brother is a legit massager and escort, who will make your whole night pleasant and not just a quick fuck. Besides, he doesn’t fucking try to… um… well, fuck guys, is he? …and he keeps away from non-Sakkilian most of the time too… disgusting fuckers…
>...try to not think about how sexy your brother looked.
Heh, that’s right, it’s not the time to fantasize about his big cock right now. But you definitely need some “moral support” after all this… and so do the rest of your girls as well. You hope he got tonight open for you… or at least an hour or two.

>Are you sure that's not somebody throwing something as a distraction?
You can’t see anything that could be thrown lying around here… and you’re sure you would have heard something if it landed in a bush.
>Eyes weren't closed before... also her mouth closed and her tongue isn't sticking out anymore... that's more suspicious, but is it something you'd see out of the corner of your eye?
That’s right, several small thing have changed! But… you’re pretty sure those aren’t thing you would actually notice… yet… she can’t have done it herself, right? But then… how…?
>Unless that's something that can happen after a polymorph/disguise potion wears off?
You’re… not sure? You’ve never dealt with this kind of stuff before? At least she’s fucking dead… she’s dead, right?
>Are you SURE you broke her neck right? That was a strong glamour, it might be capable of simulating neck snaps.
…fuck, maybe she isn’t dead!?

>Finish the job and rip her head clean off, not like she's going to survive that.
Right! Let’s make sure this fucker is dead! You put your foot on her back and grab a hold of her head before pulling with all your fucking might. As the scales on her neck start to give away, you can feel her struggle under you. So she really was alive! Well, not for long, as with one last pulse of magic into your muscles you rip her head clean of her shoulders!
>It’s just death spasms.
Spasms or not, now you’re fucking sure she’s fucking dead!
