No, you were right. She got out of the building before Kells even reached the bottom. Hells below she's just as bouncy as the beginning, and I'm not talking about that bosom. I wasn't staring.

Oh and apparently the city is real quiet. Like the quietest I've ever heard. No one responds when I call, just total silence. This shit is so surreal.

"Oi Iagn, I got'er!

"No you don't Kells, that crazy girl nearly killed me."


"Yeah but I can fight lots better than ya.""C'mere ya bampot!"

That damn Daoine rage is going to get the boy killed. Hey are you there? Gimmie strategies! Make it good this time.

Honestly? You've got the advantage in reach and... not a whole lot else, unfortunately. Your best bet is to try and clip her with the blade as she lands, preferably at the exact edge of your blade's reach.

And no shorter than this, if she gets on the ground then she'll be under or around your blade in an instant and that's game set match.

Of course I'm assume she's landing on our side of the waist-high obstacle and not the other... In which case, well, if you can jab at her from your side that might work but clambering over it might get you killed.

Tackle her while she's distracted by Kells, and then both of you disarm her. We are trying to keep things nonlethal.

>>932475
I don't think we can warp reality that much around a stranger. So far we've only been able to really crazy stuff with people who touched us.

Her extreme athleticism indicates she is either using, or the benefactor of, sorcery. We can affect that. We should turn off her boosts. That should give you an opening, I think.

Throw your sword at her while she's in midair and can't dodge.

Guys, we're casting with causality. We need to use small effects with drastic consequences.

Yeah half that sounds crazy. I am not throwing my sword, and she is moving too damn fast more me to swing at her, even when jumping. I dunno what a nuclear meltdown is but that sounds like something that's lethal. None of that! Screw it all, I'm tackling! If I can push her down to the boat, I can knock her senseless enough to disarm and tie her up! Be ready to do that thing you said about making her slow as soon as I grab her!

"Kells! Turn her to my side!"

"Ifn ye gun do somethin; best do it quick! She's like a quicksilver roach!"

Can you whack her on the head with the flat of your blade?

after non lethally knocking out and/or disabling the hostile, is it possible for us to scan her thoughts or mind like how we are talking to you? if not see if you can find a way to get info out of her, without accidentally killing her of course for she is more useful to us alive then dead. it she expire somehow we can always talk to her ghost but otherwise i personality rather keep that as a last resort if possible.

"I dinnae think they be carin'"

I'm starting to see why Veni doesn't like you. Does shit like this happen everywhere you go?

Well the other option was for you and him to be dead. So you can dislike us, but we'll keep ya alive!.. Time to move though!

>Does shit like this happen everywhere you go?

Yes, but it's only our fault half the time. You got more important stuff to worry about! You're on a boat. Steal it and sail out of there. You get a boat out of the deal and keep the corpse for us to examine.

>>932903
While we ARE harbingers of misfortune, we it's generally because we show up when terrible things are about to happen anyway, and then we make things less terrible.

Grab her corpse and run. We need to see what we can do with it.

Why yes, our charges do survive battles and assassination attempts. You're welcome.

Honestly, the fallout is much more personal and alot more localized when we intervene than if we didn't.

And if you disagree, you might as well impale yourself now because we've ensured your survival, more or less.

Now steal the boat and flee or leg it on foot.

"Well thass it then. We cannae go back. The river'll take us to th'fort in a coupl'a days. Dun even need tae steer. Those gits is good at makin' boats that follow the stream on their own."

"No chance they'll chase us?"

"Nae, they'd need another boat an' thass not coming for anuther week. I been workin them docks for a while, I remember their whole schedule."

Well good. Now I can focus on important things. Like seeing if the assassin's clothes fit. I am freezing. Damn, this has a hole in it.

>>933155
Ok, now, pull your sword out of the assassin, and make skin-to-skin contact with them.

Oh right and the girl. You wanna do your thing...whoa.

"Oh girl, oh girl what happened to you? Strength, bone-restructuring, vocal sealant, pain nullification."

"Wotsit all mean?"

"It means I was fighting a corpse this whole time. If this girl wasn't dead when these glyphs were getting carved into her, she most certainly was by the time they were done. Hell the only reason she died again was because my lucky stab destroyed a keystone glyph holding this mess together."

"Holy's mercy...this typical Rezan fare?"

"No, most karvers can manage one glyph per body, adding extra glyhs is much harder with each new glyph. Whoever did this has a lot of power, and knowledge of glyphs that extends beyond most users. I don't think anyone in Makag can do this. "

Stick your hand on her! We want to attempt to eat all those glyph's and learn how they work.

Plus maybe we can get some glimpses of her past?

She is literally right there. We have a local nexus for exerting our power, so dragging her back far enough to converse with her is within our power.
Ideally we would be forcing her body into a not-dead state, but we don't know how much damage was incurred.

The karver here? They're from outside of reality. You're up against eldritch forces.

"Damned if I know. I was trying to figure out who put those marks on her."

"We have erm...deep appetites?"

...Are you really going to complain about how eager he is?

Whatever you do, don't mock him about this. Not even a snide/cynical "Oh, I didn't notice at all during the last few hours"

Search the boat for supplies/location suitable for fucking and then get on with it.

Satisfy your boyfriend you reprobate!

Should probably give the girl a funeral at sea first. We'll report our findings.

Play the bunny pipe, we're going back to Gyoji.

You all think that maybe we have overdone it and now can't do too much mucking around with reality? Maybe we should stick to normal advice for awhile.

My totally normal advice is to put the body on ice or preserve it as best you can. Failing that, copy the runes as best you can and a diagram of where they were located on the body.

Skinning the body would work.

Anyway it's evidence and your best lead, once you get it to an expert.

Also take the corpse's pants. Corpses don't need pants and you will.

First extra over. I'm thinking of making more side character stories like this. Hopefully my schedule won't screw me up too bad. Question is if you guys would like this or prefer I stick to the main stories.

Also bonus ending: Lewd or Safe?

More stuff like this would be fun. And go for max lewd.
