Responding to some of the questions in the main Quest thread, it's kind of understandable that the kobolds are weaker, one on one, vs. the freedom fighters. If the two teams are balanced, then our side's eight vs. the enemy's four means that our individual units are half the strength of what the bandits are fielding.

So while Vovo is one of the Duchess' most trusted, he's also her most trusted *kobold* which is kinda like being a jumbo shrimp or the smart Stooge. I was hoping that he would hold it together long enough Skrep to rally vs. Mizzit for a double team, but it looks like the kitty's going to be free to cause us some trouble on the next turn with only token resistance on that side of the carriage.

Team Tax Collector needs to do better about supporting each other and ganging up on our foes. I think we need to think of them deploying as teams of two or more instead of individuals.

As for the rest of the fracas...
The snake cousins seem to have Vriolo pretty well in coil.

Icker's shaken and shamed but not out and I have a feeling Eeyfel is going to be relieved of some of her raiment soon.

I'm most concerned about Dolan, as now he's got an open door on the carriage and everybold guarding it is otherwise preoccupied. That rascally rabbit's gonna run off with our revenue!

In Vovo's role as Duchess' Trusted, he needs to do two things:
1. Punch things hard, so that they go down fast
2. Tank damage, including emotional damage.

I'd argue that he's not Dolan, and probably doesn't know all the assorted fletchery and forestry the latter would, but he's still balanced if he can do his two tasks really well.

If Kobolds can't brawl, why even have a brawler? Why wouldn't we just take 5 archers?

>>111423
Well, you march with the army you've got.

In pure, hypothetical game math (not knowing what system LW is using to run this) one Vovo is equal to 1/2 a Dolan, considerations of class and skills and special abilities aside. Dating all the way back to Gygax & Arneson's "Chainmail" a Lvl 2 character is worth 2 Lvl 1 characters, which is what I'm guessing is in play here.

Not to mention if randomness gets into the mix. Like I said, I'm assuming that Vovo *really* blew his morale roll if a pantsing takes him out of the fight. He strikes me as more of a berserker type, which on one hand you'd think he'd not care about goin' commando but on the other they aren't known for their emotional stability. Who can say, the stats are behind LW's screen for both sides.

Dolan's archery and forestry skills have nothing to do with anything at the moment. I'm mostly concerned about his powers of larceny, as he's right next to a wide open door beyond which resides an amount of gold that we are supposed to be protecting and nobody's even looking in his direction right now.

>How much damage would a normal hit do to clothing?
Lethal attacks do the same amount of damage to clothing as standard non-lethal attacks.
aimed attacks also do the same amount of damage to clothing ( but likely will inflict the damage in more desirable areas)

>If Kobolds can't brawl, why even have a brawler? Why wouldn't we just take 5 archers
neither team was optimized for success, they were optimized to inflict/receive clothing damage.
in the future you will get to pick you minions on more desirable traits

>Vovo is equal to 1/2 a Dolan
actually the kobold are worth about 1/3 of a hero, the snakes are equal to a hero each.

Vovo is a bully more or less, he's used to pushing around and commanding kobolds smaller and weaker than himself.
he's also fairly clever and excels in tests and games, but under real fighting the pressure quickly gets to him.

The tax collectors should sort of have an advantage, something they teach you when you learn to fight is it's much more than twice as hard to fight two people at once and it effectively gets exponentially harder to fight multiple people up to the point where they start getting in each others' way and then it levels out some. If the collectors had been able to leverage their numbers they would have certainly had the upper hand! But then again they were ambushed, had the mole beast turned against them and were limited in their ability to use their numbers. The best tactic would have been to have each freedom fighter occupied by one person while the spare people all ganged up and swung around to take out each enemy in turn, but it's trickier in execution of course.

That makes sense. The snakettes did seem like they were punching from a higher weight class, what with their special abilities and such.

In that case maybe double teaming Vriolo with Azzeki and Sezeda is overkill, and it would be better for Azzeki to go back up Skrep before Mizzit becomes more of a problem. Food for thought.

Well, I've often seen it happen in tabletop RPG contexts that when a new bunch of players are introduced to new characters, they tend to focus on the individuals and what they can do rather than think in terms of group tactics.

In this forum based format I'm sure its even more pronounced.

Just like when someone walks up to a piano for the first time they start plinking individual notes rather than playing chords.

Hopefully as time goes on and we become more familiar with these guys we'll pool are tactics a bit better. :)

Most of the clothing is just cloth, and is probably not super great strength compared to modern materials, so it should be destroyed pretty easily. Maybe the stuff that is actually supposed to provide protection (armor pieces, etc.) should be tougher?

But really, since the quest is running off the idea of one's clothes basically being one's health, the way things are seems fine to me.

The only clothing complaint I have is how quickly and easily Vovo got broken. If losing pants is all it takes to get broken, then why is Icker still in the fight? She's lost both her pants and her panties and she's still in the fight! How come she's allowed to lose more clothing than Vovo, but still be allowed to fight?!
>>
No. 112243 ID: d1d42a

>the quest is running off the idea of one's clothes basically being one's health
not quite, health is still a mechanic, Yappa went down when her health was depleted from being smacked around a bunch. health is pretty straight foreward just a flat pool that depletes with every hit, tougher characters will have a larger pool and take less damage.

but a character can also be taken out of combat by breaking their will, there's a lot of ways to do that, fear, being outnumbered/outmatched, injury and embarrassment (from either clothing loss or simply being made a fool of) all can work toward breaking their morale. unlike health, morale recovers over the course of the battle, demoralizing a character works best if the target isn't given time to recover their wits

hero morale is typical much higher than that of monsters, however if one hero breaks all other heroes morale suffer!
to see a comrade abandon their noble quest fills them with despair.
Heroes' morale is strengthened if an ally is killed, and will often fight with renewed vigor to avenge their fallen brother.

Monster morale is typically lower over all, but they don't much care if their friends run away, more money for them!
even seeing an ally knocked out doesn't really bother them, heroes typically treat prisoners well, and not keep them long.
however, when an ally is killed fear of death kicks in quickly. and their morale will suffer.
fortunately heroes rarely resort to lethal combat unless a teammate is killed, or provoked through excessive cruelty.

>>112235
Icker has much higher willpower than Vovo
Hive warriors are incredibly devoted more often than not willing to die for a cause they can believe in

Kobolds however are cowards, Vovo especially he's little more than a bully when it comes down to it.

I think the only issue is that all this information was basically being shown long after the quest started.

As a result it's left some people frustrated when discovering mechanics when they could've been more useful earlier on and makes it feel as if things are random until there's a reveal of things in place.

I've received a number of comments regarding people frustrated with quest management
I had hoped a low stakes quest just about silly lewds wouldn't frustrate people, but I guess the story themes don't really help the problem.
I'm happy at least that people care enough about my quest to tell me the flaws with the hope that I'll be able to improve it.
that probably won't happen though

I'm real sorry guys, I've been running quests for years but I've not really gotten any better at it.
if suggester count, fanart received and general interest are anything to go by I've gone down hill dramatically since the end of my first year.
honestly I don't feel I've got worse so much as TGchan over all has gotten so much better, and my work's flaws are highlighted by comparison.

>>112409
"A contest between thieves" is actually a test run of the battle mechanics.
the actual quest I had planned for King of Pentacles was to have all sorts of non-combat stuff as well

I try explaining as much as I think to up front, but I can never seem to give enough information without people being frustrated, I have no way of knowing what people want/need to know unless they ask

if I give too little people get frustrated and upset that I didn't tell them everything.

if I give too much (like with Silken Vale) it takes months of preparation to start the quest burning me out and killing readership with text walls

I really don't know what kind of information people want

personally I hate both writing and reading large blocks of text, the more I write the more room I have to screw things up, and with TGchan I can't edit my post, so stress increases with every word I write

in the end I'm frustrated too, my only goal is to entertain, and it makes me really angry when I can't produce something enjoyable.

I enjoy the quest, I do want to see you improve and become quite well done! I've enjoyed your art styles and themes for a while now. Though I didn't realize you had written Silken Vale.

But I'll try and sum up what sort of information you should likely provide should you run a similar thing to this:

Health & Morale. The way it was presented makes it seem like clothing damage was 100% the way to go aside from trying to kill them with lethal blows. Damage should have been mentioned, as well as morale. These are important to note because these are your victory and defeat condition (Aside from them managing to steal the loot)

While obvious in retrospect due to the numbers. It probably would have been good to mention the difference between the Kobolds, Snakes, and 'Heroes' general strength. This doesn't have to be a full down detail, but something akin to "Hero units are stronk, Kobolds are like 1/3rd Hero" near the start would've done alright.

After that other information is fine if you wish to add in more, but you generally should assume that people want to know things that would help the "victory condition".

No. 112448 ID: 3abd97

>>112438
I don't know, learning mechanics and limits through practical experience in battle seems pretty reasonable to me, as opposed to sitting the players down and explaining everything in detail first. (It's more interesting / engaging at the cost of increased risk of non-ideal choices). Sure, there's a few details that ran counter to some expectations, but in my opinion, its been all good silly fun.

I mean, puzzles where you need to figure out the rules are as valid as puzzles where the ruleset is laid out for you in advance.

(It's really only unreasonable if the consequences for the player going in without knowing all the rules is disproportionate).

I especially appreciate how even though the characters are all basically disposable units, you apparently went through the trouble of creating backstories and personalities (and insecurities) for everyone. It's been fun seeing the characters reveal themselves in the bits of dialog mid-combat.

>fanart received as a metric
That might not really be the best metric to use. I'd have to crunch numbers to be sure, but I think the rate of fanart production overall is now lower than it used to be. And I think there's more things running at a time, which might spread things out more too. That might say more about how the board has evolved than you?

>suggestion count
One downside of the whole turn based tactical rpg thing is our options are finite, and as the battle wears on and fewer people are available to give orders to or to target, there are fewer options. So if someone or two has already suggested X attack Y, there's not a whole lot of need to suggest yourself if you support that. (Unlike, say, in a dialog interaction where everyone can try to come up with the best way to say something). So you're probably not seeing as many suggestions as there are people engaged.

The real problem is that it seems that these are soldiers for hire that are the tax collectors, given what one of the snakes said, and given that, they don't all seem to be super skilled at that. Think of it like a soldier NPC in a TTRPG, whereas the Freedom Fighters seem to be more specialized each, like a PC in a TTRPG.

On top of that, the Tax collectors have a mission to protect the cart, so they must do that on top of fighting the freedom fighters, and the Freedom fighters have homefield advantage.

And again, if we look at the freedom fighters, they look a bit more steeled to fight and suffer for their cause, while from what I'm gathering most of the Tax collectors are pretty much just soldiers for hire.

One of the kobolds went out in their undies, but the bee is bottomless, and while shaken, is going onwards, likely fueled by rage (And if her speech is anything to go by, she's got that worker bee mentality).

Unless I'm reading the situation wrong, while the tax collectors DO have the numbers advantage, it looks like the freedom fighters have much more advantage.

No. 112470 ID: 262ceb

I think when it comes to mechanics in quests there are three basic types: simple, intuitive and complex.

Simple quests have pared-down mechanics, you control only one or two characters with only a few things they can do at any one time, often in an rpg-esque system where a character basically has a "menu" of basic abilities or qualities, a simple health stat and maybe a mana stat and/or an inventory with one or two items. Usually these things are put right up "on screen" as a little menu or bars and everyone gets it pretty easily right away.

Intuitive quests work on the idea that what the characters can do is basically the same as they could do in "real life", they may be freeform or have mechanics underneath that are explained but ultimately the audience can just suggest what would be a good idea in "real life" and it will probably play out as they expect. Fantasy or sci-fi elements that make things diverge from realism are kept simple or explained/established gradually. The majority of quests are mostly intuitive quests, I think.

Complex quests, finally, have in-depth systems for abilities and actions that the readers will not be expected to be familiar with intuitively, such as complicated magic powers or characters with alien natures. In order not to front-load a big boring infodump, these quests need some sort of intro sequence or tutorial where the things the audience needs to know are revealed a few pieces at a time. It will also help a great deal to have some sort of tutorial instructor character who can interact with the audience to clarify details and answer questions. This can be tricky if the audience will keep interacting with the people they are revealing their ignorance to and will need to be taken as some sort of authority afterwards, so there needs to be some reason the characters keep listening to them: often, it's just that the characters are stuck with the audience and have no choice but to listen, which is the case in most "the suggestions are the character's own thoughts" setups, but there are other ways to achieve this.

Quests don't need to fit into these three categories neatly (a lot of simple quests, for example, "evolve" into intuitive or complex quests) but generally lean towards one of them.

Silken Vale was a complex quest, and had the misfortune of its mechanics mostly being established in info blocks; it didn't have much of a mechanical intro or tutorial and the interaction point between the suggesters and the audience was one in which it was entirely possible for the characters to lose patience with and outright ignore the suggesters. Still, people seemed to be interested enough in the quest and the setting on its own merit to go through the info blocks, so the lack of a tutorial wasn't really so much of a problem. My ability to speculate on its failure is limited but if I had to make some untrustworthy guesses I would say the method of "control" was quite restrictive (only able to talk to one character at a time, possibility that said character wouldn't listen, possibility other characters wouldn't listen to that character on top of that) and didn't let the suggestors feel that they had much positive influence. Also the intro ended up feeling a little dull. With the top-down perspective and all the complex mechanics the quest seemed built for tactical combat but we started off just wandering around picking up all our characters and talking, which IS the natural way for a detective/investigation quest to start, don't get me wrong, but for that it needed a different presentation for those parts of the quest. It should have had shots of the environment and of the characters' body language and other atmospheric stuff to sell the mystery fantasy, the audience needed to feel the sense and desire to explore the setting and the characters and uncover the secrets that had been promised by the quest's story. The "mood" wasn't there. The top-down battlemap perspective made things seem simple and straightforward and clearly laid out and that didn't fit the premise of a fantasy murder mystery at all, really. It wasn't unsalvageable, though.

King of Pentacles I think has a better chance. It leans closest to being a simple quest by the above categories but pushes a bit beyond that by the quantity of the characters to control and the "stats" and abilities being hidden. If it were to be theoretically redone I would start with a simpler and faster intro encounter to give a chance for the mechanics to be explored/explained more quickly (for example, instead of facing the heroes right away maybe we start with a scene of only one or two of the tax collectors guarding their stuff in a town at night while the others are sleeping, and facing off against one or two bandits; or perhaps one or two tax collectors scouting ahead of the group along the road and fighting just one of the heroes). You could also have put in some sort of "tutorial narrator" who could comment on the fight while it was happening, like maybe the queen herself watching by magic, or some nearby wanderer, or perhaps a veteran but invalid tax collector character who can only sit and shout orders at the others, or something like that. I would also (and this could still be done) just put up a straight gamey "UI" or a stat screen shown at the start of each round, where we can see the characters' health and morale as bars as well as their condition and maybe a little list of their special qualities and their "level" to show how powerful they are.

I do want to see more!

In fairness, the Freedom Fighters got to start from ambush, and set the ambush in a location of their choosing. And they clearly thought they had a reasonable chance of victory, or else they could have chosen to not engage.

I'd say the fight is still close enough to be a toss up, though. A bad decision or roll or two on either side could still tip the balance.

At a guess, most people are interested in your quest but just waiting, cause that's what I'm doing. Quests are a very character driven media form and while I am interested in the fight I don't really feel much need to post because... at the moment I have no real attachment to any character.

Didn't really see my ideal option on the list (3p fem- 1p male), so I'll explain my reasoning.

I don't particularly want to see naked or humiliated men. If we have male foes, I'm more likely to favor misdirecting them or injuring them than standard stripping conflict.

I don't think it'd be fair to remove them entirely, for audience appeal, and more importantly world-building. And within our own side it reinforces the perils of losing HP/clothes.

Basically, the tax collectors are fine as is thematically, but I'd like to see them tangle with 75% female foes. Context matters.
A thieves' guild might be mostly female, but an orc chieftain is less likely to be.

Well, since the stated goal of a lewd clothing damage quest is to get from point A (altogether attired) to point B (bare butts, boobies, and bits) I think the significant issue isn't how durable or fragile the clothing is so much as how ingeniously it can be contrived to be removed.

Long story short, this isn't about "realism" as much as comedy and cheese/beefcake, which you are doing quite well.

It's supposed to be light, fun, and titillating. Folks need to not take it so seriously. (To qualify that statement, I think it should be taken seriously in terms of engagement and attention, but not to the point of getting bent out of shape at the results.)

I'm not trying to pick on you specifically but the problem with this approach is that a quest runner is using votes to direct what happens next. If you agree with a certain course of action then you need to speak up. The more votes or comments a course of action gets the more confident the quest runner can be that they're responding properly. Silent agreement doesn't move the needle.

Say, hypothetically, that Azzeki were to strip the mostly intact shirt off of a fallen Vriolo and put it on. Would that improve her morale or diminish her Shaken state faster at all?

(While I'm normally adverse to suggestions that decrease the amount of nudity in this situation, it does have a tactical value towards our team winning the fight.)

A contest between thieves was mostly intended as a combat test for the King of Pentacles main quest.
the current cast of character will likely show up in the main quest but they would just be minions to the main characters.

>what were you hoping for regarding a campaign?
A list of various things I would have hoped to see if it kept going:

Fights against lesser opponents, fights against monsters. Perspective swapping back and forth between the two sides, alternating a fight here or there. Short silly character antics in between battles. A rematch between the Tax Collectors and Freedom fighters eventually. A confrontation where both Tax Collectors and Freedom Fighters are forced to reluctantly work together against some momentarily greater foe. Battles that didn't start from ambush so different mechanisms were used initially. Etc.

Cool! Honestly I think Azzeki would look adorable wearing the spoils of battle. I'd think that if a garment got ripped up too much or its fasteners too compromised it wouldn't be salvageable, but intact stuff taken off of fallen foes would be fair game.

>>112751
>Short silly character antics in between battles.

I second this. Actually, I think a post-battle denouement for both sides would be *very* entertaining, with the characters reacting to what happened and to how their comrades succeeded or failed after they get back to base (or get tossed in the dungeon, in the case of our felonious freedom fighters) :)

At this point, I feel like it'd be nice to have just a quick rough map of where everyone is relative to each other. Everything's been moving around since we had a big overall look, so it feels like we might go "character X do Y" and then be told "character X tries to Y but is too far away" or something like that, because we've forgotten where exactly they are and where the target is.

It does help immensely, 'cos my mental picture of the fight had the Niffel/Icker/Dolan/Eeyfel scrum and the Skrep/Mizzit/Vovo fracas completely flipped vis a vis Azzeki/Vriolo/Sezeda. This makes more sense though, as the bulk of the battle would be toward the woods where the freedom fighters sprang from. Poor Skrep is a lot more strung out than I thought.

In future character moves I think I'd suggest Bowen give *him* backup from on top of the carriage rather than getting involved in any of the woods-ward fights.

If Stunned combatants can't act, I think it would be easier to grok if you didn't list them as "Ready!". I kinda get that you've got a binary of Done!/Ready! going here, but maybe it would be less confusing and prone to readers tapping the un-tappable if you had a "yellow light" status of some kind if the only action they can take is to wait down effects. Something like "Recovering!" or some such.

>having a stunned character acting is still a viable choice even if their only viable action is "recover from stun"

But that's not an action, that's a passive change in condition. That seems like the sort of thing that can bog down a quest.

Early on in the quest you clearly said that Stunned characters can only spend both their actions to recover from 1 point of Stun. But that was back in March, and I think most of us, myself included, forgot that Stunned meant no actions when we all voted for Niffel to attack Icker. And I think marking him as "Ready!" adds to that confusion. He's "Ready!" in the mechanical sense, I guess, but not in the sense that we puppeteers think of when we yank the strings.

I might be off base since I'm new to this, but I imagine most participants here are more interested in having the characters take action to affect events and foes in game, not do condition repair/housekeeping. If characters waiting down conditions is something that requires player agency, which I honestly don't think it does, it would help if they were more clearly marked as non or semi-active so we're not all furiously pedaling on a stationary bike, so to speak.

Recovery, to me, is better shunted to the tail of the initiative que after the enemy has had their actions. Let the active participants act and then let the passive ones pass.

Sorry this is long and rambling, I'm trying to articulate what I mean and I'm not sure I'm 100% doing it. Long story short, we only get agency for 1 character every other week and perhaps I assume too much but I don't think we all want to spend that chance at the wheel on "getting better". We want to have the characters *do* something.

>>113035
Now THAT is interesting.
Is Stun the only condition that applies to?
Or could somebody bring Yappa back around with tender kisses on or a couple of slaps to the cheek? Or could somebody give Vovo a smack on the other sort of cheek and tell him to suck it up and get back in the fight?
See, now that's a proactive non-attack I could get behind.

>Is Stun the only condition that applies to?
stunned, shaken and slowed all can be helped by friends

for the purposes of this battle OUT and BROKEN can't be cured

Out requires "revive" typically a healer only ability
Broken requires "rally" typically a commander only ability
Vriolo actually had a rally ability as well, however he wasn't going to use it in this battle
(unless you had selected Freedom fighters to control)
no other characters in the battle have revive or rally abilities

For me the line between light & dark in this sort of thing is this: How permanent is the harm being done?

It's kinda the same argument as the earlier discussion about lethal vs. non-lethal attacks.

In terms of physical violence: If you knock an enemy out they can eventually wake up. If you slap 'em around or rough them up, they can recover. If you wound them superficially, they can heal.

If you kill them they don't come back.(Setting aside the presence of Resurrection and other revolving doors on the afterlife that are prevalent in RPG's.)

If you cripple or dismember them, that will affect them for the REST of their lives. (Again, ignoring magical healing and regeneration, which edges that sort of thing into the non-permanent harm column, but also kind of trivializes it to the point of irrelevancy. Who cares about getting a hand chopped off if you can just go back to base and get a fresh one snapped on?)

That's a long term change to the characters and scenario, and if it's being dealt with honestly it's a departure from a light and comical tone, in my opinion.

(Admittedly, there's the genre of black comedy where the body count is part of the humor, but that requires a very deft touch and the audience should be aware that's what they're getting themselves into. In this case, I think one or both sides of this conflict would have to be a lot less charming and likeable. I understand it's a little harder to control the tone of a collaborative work, however.)

The same kind of goes for the lewd stuff: If a character gets their clothes ripped off, they can eventually get dressed again, and they can get over their embarrassment.

Groping and other forms of improper contact kind of rank somewhere around fisticuffs in my probably skewed estimation.(Admittedly, I'd rather have my ass grabbed than get punched in the face, but hopefully you get my drift.) Slapstick violence and slapstick naughtiness kinda float in the same context.

You can't get un-fucked, so desire & consent mean a lot. And as for how soon or easily someone can "get over" being raped is A: entirely subjective based on the victim and B: WAY out of my depth in terms of this discussion. I think it's better to not even go there.

Which is why I personally balk at taking a quest that, up front, seemed about light action/comedy spiced up with some nudity with a cast of endearing characters and taking it in the direction of death & permanent trauma.

It's not that I think those things don't have a place in art, but consider the vehicle and how appropriate it is for that payload? You run the risk of either trivializing the heavy stuff or overloading the narrative. YMMV.

Does this combat system have the concept of reserved/triggered actions?

I ask because thinking ahead to when the next initiative rolls around, it might be a good idea to position Bowin over the door of the carriage ready to bring his mace down on the head of any still standing freedom fighters who might want to dart in and grab some gelt, now that Daisy the molebeast is back playing for the home team.

Because you essentially trying to bring a bus to a knife fight.

It might be devastating on the first pass, IF the fight happens to be in the middle of the street and the combatants aren't paying a lot of attention to their surroundings, but the rest of the combat is going to be a lot of 3 point turns and frustration.

Thankfully the road is wide enough for Bowin to turn Daisy around if we really needed him to, but based on my assumptions of her movement rate and maneuverability that's got to take at least a couple of turns in combat.

And if we unhook her from the carriage, again a process that will probably take some time and tie up Bowin in the process, then what we are essentially doing is yanking the engine out of our vehicle so that we can throw it clumsily at our attackers. The vehicle that we need to transport the gold to our boss, as well as potentially transport our wounded and perhaps our prisoners.

Just 'cos it's an option doesn't mean we should use it.
>>
No. 114625 ID: 716eb1

I don't want to jinx it, so knock on wood, but we've essentially already won. Right now it's just a question of how big a win it will be.

3 of the 4 Freedom Fighters are taken out, either K.O.'d or Broken. Dolan is clearly considering making a break for it and rescuing Icker if he can. If we prevent him from fleeing, it will be the difference between capturing 2 vs. capturing them all.

So if he gets away we've still successfully managed to defend the carriage from being robbed. Bringing in captives to interrogate is just icing on the cake. I still say attack with what assets we have to reach for that brass ring, but if that fails it's not a tragedy.

The one thing that could snatch defeat from the jaws of victory is if somehow our ability to transport the gold to the Duchess' coffers were compromised, like if we unhooked our dim witted, non-maneuverable* draft animal from the carriage and turned her away from the direction she's supposed to be heading in to take part in the combat.

*Daisy is not a compact car, she is essentially a truck with a trailer that does not have a reverse option. Her turns will be wide and ponderous and must be accomplished by moving her forward. A nimble foe like, say, a rabbit ranger, will easily avoid her.

And draft animal harnesses don't generally come with quick release switches because the whole point of a draft harness is to keep them securely tethered to their load. To turn her loose, Bowin is going to have to climb down from the buckboard and unbuckle her.

And then what is he going to order her to do? "Sic 'em"? She's not a trained attack dog. She's not a remote control car. If she's loose from the carriage then there's no telling what she will decide to do, and only a tiny percentage of the possible outcomes are good.
>>
No. 114630 ID: be0718

Generally, you don't need to use a bus more than once to end a knife fight.
Daisy has a simple set of commands, but she can be trusted to follow them as set out by the rules of the game.
>>
No. 114635 ID: 716eb1

>>114630
Sure, if the fight is in *front* of the bus. Not so much if the fight is to the side or behind the bus. (And I'm not going to go into the fact that it will pretty much stop BOTH sides of the fight, so the driver of said bus better not have any close attachments to the folks on their own side, or else knows a good florist and can write an awesome apology letter.)

Daisy is not in position, and getting her in position is the whole problem. She's 1 turn's movement away and pointed in the wrong direction.

She only managed to hit Sezeda when Vriolo turned her because our snake was in front of her and within her very narrow angle of adjustment. And he simply kicked her into a berserk fury where she'd bite & claw anything that came in front of her.

I'm sure she'd execute her simple command quite faithfully. (She's a champ at "go forward.") But the pivotal word here is "simple". Spurring her on and saying "Kill" is one thing. Unhooking her from the carriage and saying "Just go and kill that one guy with the long ears who's running into the woods back the way we came, whilst avoiding trampling our own team mates both standing and prone." is another. We're working with an 8 bit memory here, at best.

I could be totally wrong, tho. If vox populi says "Daisy Attack" and LW teleports her over there into attack position thru the power of the infinite improbability drive I will gladly partake of a helping of crow and cheer for her victory and eventual promotion to the Duchess' chief of staff.

What I predict will happen, if votes for Daisy's intervention are the majority, is that the actual game mechanics involved will prove a disappointment to those who are calling for heroic action on the part of what is essentially a piece of animate set dressing.

She is going to take several turns to get her pokey molebeast butt turned around and by that time Dolan will have scampered into the woods with Icker and we'll have bowled a spare rather than a strike. Either way we win, but we could have won bigger.

It would be weird to suddenly drop us into a standard fantasy world when the intro has been anything but. I think the best course of action would be to get some racial analogs going, like:

Dolan is a rabbit- maybe rabbits are the elves of this world, with long ears, archery, and a talent for forest dwelling. Or maybe some other species fits this role.

Even the monster races can get in on it- maybe the ogres are more like gorillas, and the giants are hippos and rhinos? This has certainly been workable with the furry kobolds.

It's been a looong time since I've been in high school, so telling me to "get a clue" doesn't quite have the crushing effect you were hoping for. I don't care if I'm cool or not. Life's too short.

Honestly, look. If I got or am getting too personal or dismissive in my responses I apologize. I was trying to be general about a trend I was seeing of certain participants treating this like a death match rather than the lewd comedy action romp it was initially presented as.

I'm not trying to wreck anybody's fun, I just think having the full compliment of characters to play with is more enjoyable. We could have just as easily wound up playing the Freedom Fighters at the start of this quest.

The goal is to be entertained. If we have to win at all costs, even to the point of changing the tone and character of the quest, then some of the fun is lost, I think.

If the enemy is supposed to die, they should have been made less sympathetic at the outset. Keep the whole idea of destroying clothes and showing off nudity out of it.

I don't have any problem with racking up a body count of faceless enemy drones. Giving 'em faces and personalities kinda changes that into a study in cruelty, loss and grief.

Artistically valid, maybe, not so much "fun" from my perspective. And kinda out of character for the quest as presented.

It's not important for anyone to die tbh, but it's an option. There's no 'supposed to' die. Saying it's out of character for the quest and the characters is also making an assumption that may not be true.

I personally find it more fun to have that as an option, though the entire of quest is too much of a softboy to ever do such a thing.

For starters, it adds, in your words, "a study into cruelty, loss, and grief." How far will the Duchess and her troops go to protect their homeland, to fight for their country? Will the ends justify the means? Will tgchan softboys ever vote against the same old song and dance? Truly, it is a mystery for the ages.
Lethal attacks have been included in the moveset since the start. If they have no chance of actually happening then it is a hollow gesture. At this point, executing the prisoner(s) would serve as some reassurance that failure has weight to it, and that victory means something - that our enemies aren't invincible because plot armor protects them for being "the good guys." (Not to mention the practical purposes of the execution in-story.)

Meh. I came here for the naked cartoon characters and the laughs.

I get enough cruelty, grief, and loss in real life to fill up my quota, and at the end of the day when I sit down for some entertainment I don't really need that big a spoonful of medicine with my sugar to justify it.

Sometimes it's okay to have fun without proving how hardcore you are.

You're projecting a need to be "hardcore," as if there's some sort of stigma attached to competition in entertainment. Step back out of the magic circle for a moment and remember they're not real, you're not saving a life, the cat isn't going to have sex with you for protecting her. Look at me, I can imply motivations too.
Stop preaching at me about the cruelty, the grief, the news, boo hoo hoo, the moral and ethical consequences of executing a fatality. I don't care about that, that isn't what this was about to begin with. It was about dealing with the issues of active rebellion and prisoner processing pragmatically; how to go about an obstacle in-game without shying away from the swiftest solution because it involves capital punishment.

>>115799
No. There aren't. This attitude is pervasive through every active quest on the board. You can't use that argument when those quests don't exist anymore. The idea of a "containment quest" for suggesting fictional violence is ridiculous.

But I actually was promised this based on what LonelyWorld posted on Furaffinity. If you're promised one thing, you expect that.

But that brings me to something for LW. I have a piece of constructive criticism for quests. You need to lay out the tone at the very beginning and make it very clear. Otherwise, you get arguments like this. An right now it feels like you're trying to appease both sides, but since you're not fulling committing neither is satisfied.

To be honest it doesn't seem like you have anything to worry about. Even though lethal violence is an option and always has been, the suggester base seems largely in favour of nonlethal gameplay.

That attitude shows complete disregard for other posters. You can hide threads, but you can't hide individual posts, and if you do this after every update the scrolling starts to add up. Not only that, but the amount of text to respond to snowballs, with the author replying to that block of text, a block of text replying to that entire block of text, and so on, making the quest more difficult to follow for everyone. Do everybody a favor and keep suggestions as short and sweet as possible.

as an author I prefer longer posts
it helps me understand the direction the suggester is coming from and what they hope to achieve
it can also give clarity on how this wish to achieve a goal, as well as give much needed feedback to the quest as a whole.

short posts are often lacking vital information for me to use in an update.
for example "stab rabbit" clearly means to attack the rabbit, but do they mean to make a lethal attack? it would be dangerous to assume so, I might assume that they instead mean to use a typical non-lethal attack, but when there are other suggestions voting one way or the other it might be more fair to ignore the suggestion outright

it may be an inconvenience for you to scroll past these longer posts, but ultimately I feel it's a rather small sufferance considering the advantages. Keep in mind the primary purpose of suggestions is for the author's benefit.

No. 116180 ID: b93a7b

a possible mechanic I've be thinking about adding bonus sauce point system


outside of combat lewd stuff is less likely to happen for a variety of reasons.
sauce points will help with that

sauce points are earned at a rate of 1 per 10 images I've posted for the quest. they can be spent for a couple things
-seducing a character with another (still limited by sexual preferences)
-stripping a character
-extra nudie shots

nudie shots will automatically spend saucepoints out of combat, so keeping a character naked will deplete reserves!

stripping and seducing won't use up points automatically! and with clever suggestions you can get characters to do it for free!

Points cannot be spent during combat, and combat will not automatically spend points, nudie shots thus being free. however combat images still generate Sauce points

Current sauce points are 4/5
(1 will have been spent on a naked Icker showing up in the most recent post)

let me know what you think!

combat encounters with undead will be rare (unless you go looking for fights)

when the do happen the undead forces will use non-lethal attacks unless attacked lethaly first
however losing a battle to undead may have dire consequences, and living captives will likely not stay that way for long.

as people may have notice updates had slowed down dramatically towards the end of this thread.

to the point where I'm cautious about starting a new thread

the big issue is finances, 90% of my time is taken up with making cash to pay the bills.
King of Pentacles was always intended to be a patreon quest, and I've mentioned the idea before, but I was uncertain to whether people would like the quest or not so I wanted to make an initial test chapter. That chapter is completed so now comes the time to decide it's future

https://strawpoll.com/fafy8s7p

A couple things I want to add:
1)regardless of what happens all updates and content will be free to view by everyone, there will be no paywall
2)Patrons and donations will not effect the direction of the quest, or it's content, all that sort of discussion will remain here, and everyone will have a say
3)Higher level patrons will get to choose which characters will be in bonus pictures, these bonus pictures will be view-able by anyone

most importantly the more donations I receive the faster I will be able to update

If this is still completely unacceptable I may try and continue making updates at the current speed

Obviously, bold, full color art is one of LWs strengths, but keeping characters distinct, and the scope of the adventure in mind is not as easy as it sounds.

Is this thread still in use?

If so how are the interactions between Kalez and "The Hydra"? If any have taken place. Does Kalez treat them like she does with most of her other servants or slightly better (or worse). I can sort of imagine there's a hint of mother-like affection in the way she treats them, they were after all raised by her husband. Certainly keeping them watching over the jails and torturing would-be rebels is also keeping them safe from the zealots of the church.

Kalez mostly sees The Hydra as Midas' prized pet, she admires their loyalty and devotion but is disappointed by their limited intellect.
over all she prefers The Hydra to most of her other minions, chiefly because they excel with small minds. and her servant fail despite their educational advantages.

if Kalez does have any motherly feelings towards the Hydra, she does not voice them

Teroth was once viewed as a powerful and wealthy and luxurious kingdom.
and is still viewed as such among those not up to date on current events.

everything changed when the undead hordes flooded in from the south thirty years ago, though ultimately victorious the Price Teroth had to pay for this victory was staggering,

with millions dead (most twice over) and much of their food stores corrupted the kingdom had no ability to defend itself from further attack, they had no choice but to sell vast amount of their now empty lands too their neighbor, the goblin kingdom of Globala in exchange for "protection".

the call for immigrants has been a strong one, leading to a diverse group of people populating the lands. Life in Teroth is sacred, and murder seen as one of the greatest crime, every warrior you kill is one you gift to the ultimate enemy.

Teroth is now desperate to hold onto what is left of it's past prestige, while still holding vigilant to the ever present threat of the undead hordes.

>Q:"Garrin, how exactly did you find yourself becoming a spy for the Kalez? Were you a spy before then or did she just put you in that position? If she made you spy, what caught her attention that caused her to make you one?"

Garrin: "it was Thirty years ago, I was a boy barely strong enough to hold a sword when the undead hordes came to my homw town Z'Garr. The unliving monsters had no intention of sparing anyone so I fought, I would have been killed were it not for the Arch-Duke.

I was young and stupid, dreams of heroism rushed through my head. I felt I owed my life to Duke Midas and followed him to battle in a counter attack that would end the war. In the aftermath of that battle I was among only a handful that survived.

The King knighted me for my valor, and would in the years to comes welcome me into his household. But always I had a stronger loyalty to Midas, the noble lord I had fought beside. King Flagrion was too weak to ever truly earn my respect.

Somehow Kalez knew my doubts about the king, and at a social gathering she asked if I would help her save Teroth. As any loyal son would I agreed. step by step I became her eyes and ears for the royal court. It was many years before I could admit what I had become, but when I finally did Duchess Kalez was ready with a whole new set of tasks for her most valuable spy."

Each side was trying to defeat the other, but also to see their enemies naked.
There's a lot of this tension between taxmen and terrorists, not so much between inquisitors and a giant, or undead and anybody.

Strip poker with 6 nuns wouldn't be as interesting as strip poker with 3 nuns and 3 barbarians. Shame and lust raises the stakes dramatically. But I know this isn't always possible, sometimes the world needs to be built before those players can live in it.

Does that make sense?

Were the undead always here existing in the world and only now gathered in large numbers to become noticeable or did they just show up out of no where.

Lastly, are the bodies becoming undead on their own or is someone bringing them back?"


Mother Sabria: 'Thank you for inquiring, I will assume you are a young sheltered child as this is crucial information you should already know.

The fiend offered mortals freedom from death and freedom from the judgement of the gods that it brought.
cowards, traitors and every sinner imaginable flocked to this promise and damned themselves everyone.
every demons deal has an unthinkable price, one inflicted upon the innocent and guilty alike.
the guilty suffer as slaves to the demon's hunger, the innocents murdered so that ever more can be offered this curse.

however, all is not lost. The depraved servants of Churzegar would have you believe every corpse will serve him.
This is a lie.
There are four methods to assure the dead will not rise.

the first and most important is that the demon lords are bound to the hellish realms, they have no power but what mortals give them.
mortal souls can only hear the demon lord's offer if a particularly corrupt servant offers a connection through fell magic

the the second, only those who fear death, only those who fear judgement will accept his vile offer.
a pure soul, who knows the gods will accept them will never become such a monster.

the third is through divine power of the gods, which only the most devote servants can wield. such power can bring judgement to a soul even in the mortal realm.

the forth is more complicated, but I recommend it for those you doubt the innocence of, which honestly should be everyone.
and more importantly the already risen.
it is a complicated method, which I will only cover the basic concepts of here.
we strip the bones of weak flesh with holy acids, and bleach the bones with the purifying rays of the sun
then entomb the bones in a vessel that cannot rot, stone will suffice if you can do no better.
you're local church will be able to provide you with further details, and texts on the topic.

Stay loyal to the true gods, and always strive for virtue.'

>"Sir Garcio, how long have you served in the king's army? What was your first meeting with Sir Garrin like? Any strange or funny stories you two were involved in?"

Garcio: 'Oh it's gotta be twenty years since I got taken in as Garrin's squire, and we've been inseparable ever since.
his first day of training started with a lecture that changed my life, taught all about how much you can get away with if just do a good job with the important stuff.
this idea has probably given us a thousand glorious adventures! like the time we to strip those Binder nuns in the public square just to get the keys to the chapel,
or when we had to pretend to be foreign princes and the local farm girls showered us with affection, LOTS of affection if you know what I mean.
And then there was that strange event where goblins were smuggling stolen wine into the kingdom, which we had to confiscate of course.
All in the name of the crown!

That's something you might want to think about in the future, then. I'm not too sure if it applies as directly as I think it it does to King of Pentacles specifically, or if I'm carrying over a feeling that I got from other quests of yours I read before, but it seems like it's common to come out of an encounter with a sense of "this isn't the best result you could have gotten, you didn't make great decisions", which is something that'll teach suggesters to be more paranoid.

Like, I can't remember much in the way of story points that had a feeling of "yes, you did great, good job!" Maybe it's something inherent to the overall story and tone you're going for, so it might not be easy or simple to avoid, but it rarely feels like the characters (and therefore the readers) have a reason to be happy or feel good about themselves without some sort of "but" hanging over it.

So you might want to either include more "oh, I did well!" moments, or make it clearer what bad consequences are being avoided.
>>
No. 129596 ID: 8275cf

>>129595
the thing is that is incredibly difficult
King of Pentacles is not a game you can "win" or "lose"
both of those entirely depend on what the individual suggester wants out of the story
for me to congratulate them on doing very well there needs to be some ultimate objective
there isn't.
typically following Kalez' orders will be the normal guideline, but she'll be controllable in many segments as well, and thus her orders are also largely determined by suggestor choice.

however if an individual wants "X" out of the quest I can tell them how good of a job their doing achieving "X".

I think you've taken what I said as a broader judgement than I really meant it. It's not so much the larger goal or the overall progress or lack thereof, but more the encounter-to-encounter stuff that I'm talking about. How well did the fight go for Kalez' minions, how well did her meeting with Vivian go for her, is anything Garrin's been doing meaningful? Obviously things are happening and the suggesters are making decisions that make things happen, but there's often some sort of vague feeling we could have done better, or that we stumbled past what we were actually supposed to do... or maybe we didn't? We don't know? It's the not knowing that's the problem. Just to be clear, it's not that big a problem, I'm probably making it sound worse because of how I'm trying to explain it. I'm trying to pin down something that's just a shadow of a feeling to me.

You're right about stuff depending on what people want out of the quest, but at the same time there are some things you can assume. If our player character gets in a fight, we want to win. If they're given a challenge to overcome we want to overcome it. Absolutely you want people to have control over where everything's going, and to make decisions for themselves, but if there isn't any direction at all, and you have different factions of suggesters who want different things (which seems very likely in this quest, from what moral standpoint you want to take, to who you want to ship with who, to story vs. lewds, which character specifically you want to see, etc), then you can end up with a feeling that the quest and the suggesters are just sort of staggering drunkenly through everything never quite fully doing one thing or the other. We make suggestions and then things happen, but what's the connection between what happens and what we intended, or wanted? Can there be any, if different suggesters intended and wanted different things?

It might just be a thing I'm getting. You'd need to ask if anyone else feels anything similar to this before you give it any credit.

I'm afraid you've lost me with most of what you're talking about.

I have no idea how you would have me improve my quest

nor even what is even the problem, truly.

how successful was the battle in the first chapter? beyond being a victory? I don't know tally the pros and cons I guess.
how successful was the meeting with Vivian? she made an offer the suggestors refused. is that not clear? did you want something else of her?
How Meaningful have Garrin's actions been? meaningfull in what way and to who? I thought the Princess' safety had clear purpose.

I can't stop you from imagining superior outcomes, but I don't know them, only different outcomes all with different potentials and hooks
I could tell you as many as I considered, but that would be less than half of what is possible, since most outcomes I never considered.

I'm sorry you feel things lack direction, but either I don't see that or don't understand what you mean.

if you have a specific questions, a specific problem, or a specific thing you'd like me to change
perhaps I can better accommodate you.

No. 129608 ID: 68a433

>>129605
I'm pretty sure I'm explaining things badly, but I'm not sure I can think of a better way to put it. It's just that when we come out the other end of any particular "scene" in the quest, I can get this feeling that things happened, but not so much that things were accomplished? Most scenes, when I consider suggesting, I feel like I should try to be, like... sensible. Not to think too much outside the box, because what'll get chosen is probably going to be something more expectable. Obviously being sensible is good, but it can also start feeling a little uncolourful if it goes on too long. It might be that the characters themselves, personality-wise, mostly seem like they're not the types that would come up with or go along with more unusual ideas.

It's also possible that I just haven't invested myself enough. I read the quest whenever I see it's updated, and I suggest now and then, but I don't have any strong feelings about what I want to see happen eventually, so I don't have a point of reference for how I should feel about the outcome of whatever's going on at that moment. All that I have to think about is the scene at hand, so if there's not much to think about in for that scene then I feel like the quest isn't asking me to think much in general. On top of that, it might be leaning my motivation more to "I want to try and pick the best answer" when the thing that decides what's best (contribution to a long-term goal) doesn't actually exist in my case. Like I'm looking at the choices too much as puzzles to be solved in themselves rather than as steps to something else. So it's very likely that all my problems are just me.

It's still a good quest!

Xiatzu:'most of my work is copying public bulletins and decrees sent out by noble households, I also copy old records and histories.
Once in a while a very strange person asks for something very strange.
A couple weeks ago a huge woman over eight feet tall comes to my store.
This woman was of powerful build and covered in armor plates and wrapped bandages.
She looked to be of some knightly order, she had the crest of the binder god.
she did not speak a word but through gesture told me she wanted parchment.
I offered her a sheet, and she used it to tell me she wanted all the parchment and ink I had.
obviously I told her I could do nothing for her, I do not deal with adventurers, it always leads to trouble.
She left after that.

How exactly did you meet Archduke Midas? Do you think things have changed ever since you've come into power, minus the undead and possible world ending."

Duchess Kalez: 'Peasants are parasites, the weak in their villages huddle around the strong of the castles for the safety and nurishment they think it provides.
like fleas upon a dog they suckle at the life blood of a more powerful creature, they scrape, scrounge or steal any coin they can get.
All the while these pathetic wretches dream of power, thinking it will make them happy.
Yes I was such a parasite, such a filthy degraded theif.
I achieved the dream only for the parasites to turn thier attention on me, I am no longer thier sister I have become thier host.

I learned this long before meeting Midas, he was a warrior eager to learn his place in the universe my insite gave him power and in return he granted me station and alliance that served us both.

At the Duchess' ball, you explore the gardens. The calm of the foliage contrasts the fervor and exuberance of the party. The high energy is nice in its own way, but you prefer meditation with the plants. The bud of a rose lures you towards a field of color, a soft light glistening off the dew coating each flower's petals. Posed there, backlit by the moon beams hitting the lake, is him. Garrin... In this small corner of the garden, which may as well be a world wholly separate from the surrounding guests...

You see his dick.

For anyone wondering where the two explosions in the >>/quest/959106 update came from, I'll copy here what I wrote in #quest-discussion on the Questden Discord server:

"I was very puzzled at what caused the two explosions in this update; I thought at first that it was yet more magic shenanigans. But I went back over the previous updates and discovered that the "honey" that was sticking to the hydra's left foot for the last four updates was the contents of Icker's bombs, from when the hydra stomped Icker's bomb backpack. When that "honey" was ignited by the flame it exploded. And the explosion after that, on the hydra's chest, was from bomb "honey" sticking the Westman's shield to her chest catching fire. That shield got stuck there when she crushed the Westman against her chest back when she had a bomb stuck to her chest."

So none of the suggesters, including me, caught on that the hydra was stomping around with two globs of flammable, sticky explosives stuck to her since the >>/quest/953326 update. Perhaps if enough of us had caught on and said to stay away from the fire she would not have exploded and things wouldn't have gone from bad to worse.
>>
No. 132342 ID: b1b4f3

>>132336
No, quite a few suggesters knew it was explosive, and wanted to scrape it off immediately after the first fight. The Hydra even tried doing that after breathing fire in the second fight, though it was left out of the text.
>>
No. 132353 ID: 376a29

>>132342
Hm, I mis-phrased that. I should have written that nobody suggested to keep away from the flames or get rid of the bomb material after the update where the egg mage tele'd away the Rebels (along with the hydra's right hand and half her tail.)

People generally don't expect to have to tell their character not to stand in fire like an MMO player. Even a fire-resistant one.
>>
No. 132369 ID: 6f7a5a

The Hydra has absolutely no prior reason to fear fire, to the hydra caution towards stepping in fire would be the same as a vampire hunter being cautious about stepping in a sunbeam
and in fact would have every instinct to do so when in danger

The Hydra is also very stupid, even when cohesive. not to mention reckless, even if some danger was present (the Hydra did not believe this to be the case) the Hydra might ignore it anyways to to their over all resilience

Duchess Kalez: 'the pleading cry of of a thousand aspirants, the endless struggle to the top kicking and clawing away all others craving the same, a desperate need for the grain of sand to be noticed by a titan. This is the path to enlightenment to the truth of the world, wealth and strong blood have value but both are easily stolen if needed. A keen mind fueled by an endless hunger for more. Yes this is what makes an Acolyte. As it was for me, as it is for mine, as it will be for theirs.'

Duchess Kalez: "peace and quite the dream of the hapless laborer, misty eyed poet, secluded dullards or other such misguided fools. Peace creates restlessness, restless creates turmoil. just as a bountiful crop draws parasites so too does a peaceful kingdom, it takes constant effort from cunning leadership to convince the people that doom is always one step away. They must know gratitude and and enjoy the peace you crafted for them. Even in a unending peace that could never be, I would still work still improve this world for to grow idle is to grow weak."

I'd like to start by thanking everyone for such wonderful support these last few years. it has been a great experience I've enjoyed a great deal.

However subscription is down, in both number of patrons and total patronage.

Though this may be a product of these hard financial times, it could also be sourced to a number of other reasons. and though I've been having a great experience personally the enjoyment of my readers and patrons is just as important if not more important.

I cannot make this experience as enjoyable as possible for everyone without your feedback, so if you have questions, concerns or desires let me know. If you're enjoying certain elements let me know.

regardless I will keep trying my best and keep working hard to create a fun, exciting and saucy characters and stories!

and again thank you everyone!

Crossposting some thoughts I had on Garrin from the Quest Discord over here.

My best guess regarding Kalez's treatment of Garrin is that she needs someone who is willing to make the choices that best serve her cause, whereas Garrin has proven too willful and stubborn to ever make for a loyal servant. He cannot help, as when she really needs him he will disobey her.

So even though Garrin calls her and says that he wants guidance, why should she ever tell him anything? If he doesn't like it, he'll just do what he wants and mess up her plans.

The only area I would disagree with her on is that she could give him simple orders without explanation to make use of him, but he could ignore even those if he feels scorned, and it's probably disappointing to see someone with such potential become such a waste.

He could have been so much more. Or maybe he couldn't. Maybe that was never in him. Either way, no point continuing to waste resources trying to make a diamon out of him.

Too willful to be a useful servant, yet to indecisive to really choose a path for himself. He's a tragic figure.
>>

Alright, I realized what Kalez feels we betrayed her. Back in 2018 she ordered us to destroy the bridge and stop Vivian Hearth. We've instead not destroyed the bridge, stopped another from destroying the bridge and hired Vivan Hearth. Now in our time it has been half a decade but for her it has been two days so...we suck in her mind.
