... I was finally able to afford a bona fide unidentified enchanted item! Sure, it cost me nine-tenths of what I made, and I don't know what I'm gonna eat tomorrow... but I won't have to care about that once I show the university that I was able to figure out one of these on my own! Dreng will regret not taking me on as his apprentice! I just know it!

Now, if I've learned anything reading about these artifacts, the first step is going to be to just crack it open.

I wish I had better tools, but I can't afford anything else, so these will have to do! Here goes...

... what just happened

Your house just happened. But it's okay.

Actually it's not okay you can no longer fit in your house.

But it does give you something interesting you can bring to the university. That something being you.

You have made an error.

You literally placed a nail on a jeweled necklace filled with supernatural forces and applied force with a hammer.

Now you're over twenty feet tall and hearing voices.

Yeah, so how long has it been since you left the university?

You done fucked up, son!

Enchantment.

The way I see it, if you don't shrink back soon you have several basic options in how to proceed from here:
1. Try to find someone magical to turn you back. Might involve getting experimented on or going into debt.
2. Rampage, presumably to show them, show them all. Could be satisfying but probably ends with death by heroic knight or ragtag bunch of misfits.
3. Join the army or a mercenary group. Kind of like rampaging except some people are actually on your side instead of against you.
4. Get a new job that benefits from being huge, such as construction work. Might be hard to find without people running away screaming.

> ... what just happened
You escaped your dollhouse. Now you can be a real boy!

>I don't know what I'm gonna eat tomorrow...
Now? Whatever or whoever you want.

YOU ARE HUGE THAT MEANS YOU HAVE HUGE GUTS

I think your job is to show those fools at the university who laughed at you, to show them all. Go smash 'em.

YOU'RE A GIANT FLUFFY GODZILLAAAAA

Swallow your pride, go to your university and ask for help.

well you're big now... and you picked up a few friends.

So now may not be the best time but I figure it's probably better to get this out of the way but who are you?

E-everyone's going to think I'm a monster, aren't they...? If I go try to join the army, won't they just attack me?

The university is hundreds of miles from here! And even if I could make it all the way over there without getting attacked or something, I... I don't know if they can really deal with something like this very well!

Plus, I-I never got accepted or anything! I just tried to get their attention when they sent scouts out to Hau To Tyo, but they told me I didn't have the credentials... and then Dreng wouldn't take me on either... I...

Wait...

>So now may not be the best time but I figure it's probably better to get this out of the way but who are you?
... w-why am I asking myself this question?

W-what did that pendant do?

>... Am I going to have to hide from civilization now?
Do you have any friends you could go to? Contact with civilization might go smoother if you had someone their size to vouch for you.

>The university is hundreds of miles from here!
Luckily, that's currently a much shorter distance for you.

>>So now may not be the best time but I figure it's probably better to get this out of the way but who are you?
>... w-why am I asking myself this question?
>W-what did that pendant do?
Just answer it, you doof. If you can't remember who you are, you're in worse shape than you thought.

The pendant made you crazy. You're going to have to deal with that aspect of yourself now, and come to terms with the sort of things you subconsciously want to do. On that note, I recommend that you travel using the art of camouflage. Whenever somebody might see you, duck down and pretend you're a forest being rustled by the wind and wait until they look away. It's foolproof. Also, hundreds of miles is way way less when you're twenty times your normal height. You can probably walk tens of miles over the course of a day or two.

Lots of things all at the same time, fluffbutt. I assume anyway. But uh. It IS a relevant question. Who are you, then, since -we- don't know you?

Chaaaances are you should probably go speak to the closest friend you've got though. Get their help or advice, maybe.

Or, y'know, go back and talk to the person that gave/sold you that pendant and see what -they- have to say about it.

Your brain got 100 times bigger, now thoughts take so long to make it from one end to the other that it feels like a different person thought it when it gets there.

Stop squirming around and salvage what you can from the rubble. Next, you need to find enough food to sustain you at your new size. A farm would do, or maybe a you could 'borrow' what you need from town. You're big enough to take anything you need now.

It wouldn't be as great a distance for you to travel to the university with your massive stride, but can you perhaps think of someone closer who could help you? A magic shop owner, a wizard, a scout from the university or just another college altogether?

>W-what did that pendant do?
Well let's just put it this way, at least you're not facing this alone.

>... Am I going to have to hide from civilization now?
Do your people have a history of giant monster attacks? If not I don't see why their response to a giant would be attacking on sight. And even if they did, you should be able to just outrun them with your giant legs.

Neither does that!

My name is Bau Shua, I'm a ketza who lives by himself outside of a little village, and apparently I'm a crazy giant now.

You say that like it's easy! Most of this stuff is so smashed up I can't even tell what it's supposed to have been before, even though it's my stuff.

Or at least it used to be...

>You need to find enough food to sustain you at your new size.
I don't even wanna think about this yet.

I'm not comfortable with this at all!!

>Do your people have a history of giant monster attacks? If not I don't see why their response to a giant would be attacking on sight.
Okay I guess at least around here their response will probably be more like "running away and hiding" but I don't see how that's any better!

I-I'm not an endurance walker or anything! Even if I can walk a lot farther, that's still a really long way! I mean, I don't even know exactly where the university is or anything.

Plus I'm pretty sure it's several countries over, and I don't think everyone between here and there is just gonna run away when they see me! Even if I'm big enough to literally wrestle a dragon, I mean... dragon-slayers do exist, after all.

>Go back and talk to the person that gave/sold you that pendant and see what -they- have to say about it.
I had to special-order the pendant from somewhere really far away, and the service I bought it from specifically sells unidentified magic items! I don't see what they're going to do to help me!

>Can you perhaps think of someone closer who could help you? A magic shop owner, a wizard, a scout from the university or just another college altogether?
The only person I can think of who fits that description is Dreng, and he, um... he doesn't really like me, because of... things. I doubt he'd know how to fix this, anyway!

Plus I can't really imagine it going well to even go up to his house. "Hi everybody, just a giant monster walking up to the house of the most respected guy in town, don't mind me, doo dee doo."

>Do you have any friends you could go to?
>Chaaaances are you should probably go speak to the closest friend you've got though. Get their help or advice, maybe.
Cho doesn't know anything about magic! If I go knock on her roof or whatever I'm just gonna scare the heck out of her, and what good is that going to do?

... I mean, if she got over the initial shock, she'd probably talk to me, but... is that really the best option I have... ?

>is that really the best option I have
unless you want to run towards the woods or something and hide and hope to god that whatever this is wears off then you prooooobably should seek help from at least SOMEONE. Even if all they can do is lend you a ear to talk to.

Hey if you can get her to help you, is there some sort of hotline or something that you could call to help you out? Anyways when you go up to her house maybe try the back door so you're not standing in the middle of the road and just GENTLY poke it with your finger. Just try to talk to her through the door and explain what happened before she opens it. That way she's less likely to run away from you. Just say you were trying to pry out a gem in a pendent but your hand slip and you ended up just cracking it open instead.

>... I mean, if she got over the initial shock, she'd probably talk to me, but... is that really the best option I have... ?
Is talking to a friend a good option? Yes.

If you win her over, she can help you with small person relations.

>is that really the best option I have... ?
Yes. You need practice not scaring people, and talking to a fried will help. When you get there, don't knock on any part of the house; that might damage it and you should now be loud enough just saying hello.

Give your friend giant snuggles.

Well, you don't have -too- many options right now, kiddo. Go try and talk to your friend, and hey, y'know. If they're not TERRIFIED of you then they can vouch for who you are.

It won't make things any less awkward but hey it might help.

Just call them from where you are now. When they see you in the ruins of your house they should be able to guess what happened pretty easily.
And since you are big they can probably hear you from town.

Geez okay okay I get it. I guess if anyone would be willing to put up with me right now it'd be Cho.

I would rather not attract the attention of literally the entire village, thanks.

>When you get there, don't knock on any part of the house; that might damage it and you should now be loud enough just saying hello.
Given that I just smashed what was left of my own house without even trying, I don't think you need to tell me this.

"Hey, uh, Cho? It's me, Bau Shua. Are you there?"

...

"Look, I, uh, I know I might be a little, uh, different-looking, right now, but it's really just me, I swear."

... There's no response.

... I don't want to be alone, guys... anybody got a plan B... ?

Break down crying. That'll convince anyone that you're not actually scary.

Check the other side of the house. I don't think anyone's home right now.

>What? I don't know exactly what you're talking about with a "hotline."
well I know there's a poison hotline on most cleaning products incase a kid get his/her hands on it and drinks some so I was wondering if they're might be a magic hotline... I guess a magic tech support if you will.

also the front door is open. So she might just be outside since that's what you're suppose to do when the ground starts to shake.

>>681006
An alternative is to tromp off to that city in the distance.

>>681006
The door looks open. Does Cho normally leave the door wide open when she goes out? That seems abnormal.

Actually would Cho normally be out at this time of day.

I thiiiink they might have scampered out the back door.

Uh, okay, okay. Uh.

WELL THIS IS OFF TO AN AUSPICIOUS START. Can you see where they may have run off to if you stand up tall?

Eat the house.
Also, check and see if there's any footprints out back or whatever.
Hey, how is your eyesight now that you're a giant?
Has your vision suffered? Are you farsighted now?

Cho pls halp.

You've got to come up with the least scary thing you could possibly do and do it. Make yourself look like not a big monster that's going to eat her. Maybe try to get low to the ground, possibly on your back, too. And not on top of the house.

HUGS!

Okay uh back up and settle on all fours. Your head should be on the ground, several feet from the pit. If Cho ducks down you shouldn't be able to see her.

Then speep quietly and ask for help. Use her name.

Crouch down as far as possible, and extend your hand. Don't move, and let her get used to this.

lean down to the point you're laying on you belly and say "Cho, I fucked up, I fucked up real bad. help."

Then just give her some time to think. I mean she's panicking right now so giving her some time to calm down will probably be a good thing.

*Now* is the time to start crying; now that she is actually here to be nonthreatening towards.

Just be as pathetic as possible. More pathetic than youve ever been in your life. That will end any fear in Cho's heart.

Stick them in your ear so you can hear them.

Give a big friendly wave and say hi as quietly as you can.

Okay, whatever you do, DO NOT TRY TO PICK CHO UP! She's freaking out right now and you reaching for her will probably make her flee. Plus you might seriously injure her if you tried to pick her up; You're not exactly used to your newfound giant strength and size, now are you? Also don't try to approach her or lean down or many any sudden movements until she's calmed down a bit, and even then not without telling her what action you're going to do ahead of time.

Start off by looking down at her and telling her what happened in the most direct way you can: Say you got that unidentified magic item you always wanted today, and you screwed up. You screwed up real bad and broke it and this happened and you don't know what to do.

>There's a set of footprints leading into... a... ditch...
I guess your footsteps shook the ground and her house so much she thought it was the beginnings of an earthquake or something and she fled the house. Though why she jumped into a ditch, I do not know. You can ask her later, once she's not scared out of her wits.

Expose genitals. This will surely pass along the message that you mean no harm. ... Err. No ill will, anyways. I'm sure harm would be a risk if such were put to use at this size.

>>682427
Wave.

Then back up (not into the house) and settle down on the ground, belly first. Gently. The aim here is to try and not be threatening.

When you try to talk, whisper, softly. No need to deafen her with your loud booming giant-voice.

...I can't hear you. Could you speak up? (Or yell? Or just get closer?).

>WHY ARE YOU HUGE RIGHT NOW
Look I messed up a magic thing, okay? I didn't do it on purpose.

>PREENING IS GOING TO BE A NIGHTMARE FOR ONE THING
Wait why would preening be worse, does someone else have to do it for you?

But yes, lots of things are going to be a nightmare. Like not stepping on people, or having a bed or house to sleep in, or finding giant amounts of food.

You don't know what to do and people are gonna think you're a monster!

Well at least Cho cares. That means they're a good friend. :>

As for their yammering. Uhhh. Let them get it out of their system, I don't think you're gonna get a word in edgewise until they calm down or run out of things to say.

>>684391
all right, we got her to stop scream and now she's talking to you. Progress!

Anyways give her the short version, you got a magic item, you tried to figure out what it did, while trying to pry it out your hand slip and you ended up splitting it open. Now you're big and your house is gone and you came here for help.

Feel free to mention us voices if you think it will help or keep it to yourself, you know her better then we do after all.

Cho I need help getting a new job so I can replace my house. and... all my stuff.

Pull her into a reassuring hug to calm her down (and muffle the sound of her shouting in your feathers)

"You remember that magic thing I was talking about? Well, I kind of accidentally broke it trying to get it open, and then I kind of accidentally broke my house because it made me really, really big, and now I don't know what to do at all, so I came to ask you because you're my best friend!"

I try to give her a helpless look! I'm... not sure if it's working at all.

"AUGH GIANT KETZA-DOG EYES THERE IS NO WAY I CAN SAY NO NOW OK FINE GEEZ I'LL HELP. Okay. Calm down, me. Right. Um. Why don't we head to Dreng's place? He can usually fix my shenanigans!"

WELP.

Uhhhh, ask if she can bring him here. You know so people don't confuse you for some random attacking monster who's come to lay ruin to the town.

Who wants a ride on the giant ketza?

Well uh. That's awkward. Uhm. Yeah, Cho will need to re-introduce you probably first? So let Cho go waaaay ahead of you. Or drag Dreng back to Cho's house, one.

Because let's face it, your footsteps are super loud and can shake the town from outside of town.

onward to adventure

>Why don't we head to Dreng's place?
Um. Um. Dreng doesn't really like me, and I don't want to cause a panic or something as a giant advancing on the town.

I mean, what would people even do?

Pretend to be a hill and hope you're far away enough from civilization that nobody notices how really really suspicious this is.

Preen yourself to try and settle your nerves.

>Is there anything I can do while I wait for her to get back, I wonder...?

Well if you are just going to wait around, maybe some exercises? Get used to your new size?

I suspect privacy will be somewhat rare. This may be a valuable opportunity to deal with your bodily function without been noticed.

Holy shit, an update!

>>733842
Unless we want to kill Cho's lawn by drowning it in Urine we should definitely not do this.

>>733845

Well, we'll have to address it at some point. Same with eating...

>>733845
Well, then we should dig a hole into which we will "do our business" to spare the countryside of urine floods.

>>733850
That'd just poison the soil and possibly the water nearby with various waste products and kill at least a lot of grass.

>>733835
Do something useful with your hug size.

Dig out a swimming pool.

Hmm. I wonder if digging foundations and swimming pools and quickly building houses like they were toys pays well.
Cuz your gonna need a shit ton of food to not starve.

Preen your feathers so as to be presentable for Dreng.

I don't think we really need to worry too much about logical issues like eating or biological waste. If we did, then we'd already be dead of the square-cube law.

>>733861

>>733861
Square-cube law does not apply to this situation because magic.

so... on a scale from 1 to 10 just how pissed do you think dreng is with you. And if you don't mind me asking what did you do again to piss him off? I mean I get that he might like to avoid you if you keep trying to get him to teach you magic but I feel it would take more then that for him to actually hate you.

>>733835
You could go check out a mountain or something similarly big that you've never been able to see with this sort of perspective!

This isn't going to be fine, this isn't going to be fine at all

No wait don't panic go sit a distance away from town, let them see you but let them see you aren't going to move any closer, let them get used to you.

Nngh. What's taking her so long? If Dreng wasn't going to come out here she probably would have just come back and told me that by now...

... unless she told Dreng about me and he responded by calling the magistrate and then they threw her in jail for, uh, I don't know, aiding an enemy or something...

"Good. Now. I haven't forgiven you, obviously. But, I do like my town, and one of the things I like about my town is that it doesn't have an enormous moron bumbling around in it. Also, I will begrudgingly admit that some of the other people in this town actually do like you, and it would probably throw the social dynamics off if you were to just disappear forever. So, I have some instructions for you..."

Wait, does he know how to fix this?

"... is what I would like to say, but, unfortunately, I don't have a damn clue what you've done to yourself, or how to fix it. Sorry. You'll have to find someone else who can help you."

... He's not saying anything else. Surely he didn't come all the way out here just to say that?

>>735228
Insist that Cho knows, but it's a secret so he'll have to be set free from jail to help you.

Yeah, if that was all he had to say he could have just sent you a curt letter for Cho to read to you. Why did he choose to come here.

>>735229

Cho's right behind Dreng, not in jail. He was worried that Cho would end up in jail for helping him. I think that was a pretty far leap of logic, Bau. You need to calm down a bit; this isn't that bad!

I don't know what to do other than wait to see if Drang does have any other advice. I don't know what you did to upset him, but maybe you can make him feel better some way?

>>735231

Also, I just noticed... are you still growing?

Obviously, they deserve a hug for coming out to take a look, at least. Maybe they've got suggestions on where to go?

(Besides, he didn't even do anything. Getting them upset like a hug might do would be harmless payback)

You need either instructions on who you need to talk to and how the approach such person.

Unless you still believe this will be solved quickly you need to address the logistical problems of your basic necessities, and after that protection against the elements.

>>735224
Next time you lay down to take a nap, you might not want to block the road. That's rude!

>>735228
Oh come on, you really expected me to believe you wasted the time to come out here and do nothing?

Don't you at least want to investigate or examine the magic? How can you be sure there's nothing you can do until you do that?

That and I don't know anyone better at magic than you. If you can't figure it out, who do you know that's better than you?

>>735228
If he doesn't know what happened, then just explain what happened. You bought an unidentified enchanted item and you were following the instructions in your "Enchantments 4 Novices" book, when this suddenly happened! Ask Dreng if he looked at the book, would he be able to figure out what happened? The book should still be where you left it.....somewhere in what's left of your house.

But just beg Dreng for help! Because if he doesn't help, then you'll have to leave so that you don't squish someone by accident and so adventurers don't try to slay you! But if you leave then you'll end up being all alone somewhere and you'll be sad and scared and waaaaaaaaah please help meeeeeeee!!!!! *cries*

>>735228
Ask where you can find someone to help. He must know, surely?

If you can't get smaller, you'll just have to make the entire universe bigger! Go crack open some more amulets.

...Ok, I just have to ask. Why the hell would he walk all the way out here just to say he can't do jack shit? He might as well just have had chi pass the message along... also if he can't do shit can he at least point us to someone that might have a better idea on how to fix this. I mean unless he wants a giant living in town.

Oh and uh... speaking of giants...
>>682425
>>735224
I think you miiiiiiight be getting bigger still, hehehe... please don't freak out

Hug Dreng, because he's an asshole and it will annoy him.

Unless you ate his dog or burned down his house or raped his fields or sowed his wife with salt, this situation is a time to set aside grievances and deal with a crisis!

I wonder if he came here just to see your failure? If he hates you enough he might just be enjoying the sight of your misery.

Ask Dreng if he knows who might be able to help you.

Tell Dreng you will sit on him until he helps you.

That is, if you can still see him down there.

And Who might be able to help me then?

Start crying in despair. I'm sure once he sees the size of your tears something will come to him before you start flooding the countryside.

Oh no! You'll never be fixed, never become a magician, and never find love! This is truly the worst of days!

>>735228
tell him exactly what you did, calmly if you can, since that is what he prefers you to talk like.

explain to him what just happen
if he still dont know and didnt say "sorry"
just flip the bird

eat him

That's extreme, but maybe a good option for leverage? Tease him at least, if it comes to it.

"Wait. Okay. Two people."

"Huh?"

"Two people I can think of, who might be able to help you, who are close enough that you could get there in... a day or two? I don't know how fast you move."

"Um..."

"Whatever. That's your problem. Anyway. Kotsiki, up in Yakipeto—"

"What?"

"Kotsiki is his name; he's a specialist in identification magic so he can probably at least tell you what you've done to yourself. Yakipeto is the name of the city. It's north of here, in Kesusu, where the tezakians live. You can take the main road from Hau To Tyo—you probably shouldn't actually go to Hau To Tyo, though—anyway, just follow the road north into Kesusu and it'll be the first big city you come across. How you get him to come out of the city isn't my problem, but if you tell him I sent you he probably still respects me enough that he'll help you."

"Um..."

"Your other option is more or less exactly in the opposite direction. I don't remember her name, or exactly what the village is named, or anything like that, unfortunately. She's a kobold who lives in the Krorıqar Woods, which you've probably never been to, but you can't miss them. Anyway, she's in the woods, somewhere. Only magic specialist the kobolds have. I've never actually met her, but I've been told that she's the best generalist on the continent."

"Okay..."

"So. Those are your options, that I know of. If they can't help you... I guess you'll have to figure out something on your own, because this is the best I can do. I'm going back into town before someone thinks to come figure out why I'm not in my shop and sees you."

He turns to leave again. Um. I guess I'm going traveling...?

>>736838
Spirits? Those might be us.

Kobold because avoiding a city.

I say we go south to the kobold mystic. While going north would be easier, the guy there can only tell you what you did to yourself. While being a generalist the kobold might be able to identify and cure you. Also, whats an adventure without some mystery?

>>736840
Go 2 kobolds. Identification magic will tell you what's wrong but not be able to fix it, which means you'd have to travel some more afterwards. The generalist might be able to fix you right away. She should be able to at least tell what's wrong with you in general, or offer a temporary solution, right?

OOOOOR if you're up to a week of travel time you could go get identified first and then get fixed at the kobold. Unless Kotsiki can refer you to a specialist, but I suspect there would need to be more travel time anyway.

>>736840
KOBOLD!

>>736840

Let's see the kobold!

>where go
Kobold mystic, I should think. Less chance of collateral damage or panic if we're avoiding cities.

...there's no language barrier with kobolds, is there? They speak the same language you do?

>>736840
Ask him to wake up Cho for you before he leaves. You're not sure it would be safe for you to do so, considering how big you are.

And thank him for helping you as much as he could.

Tell Cho where you're going to be going, it's better than just disappearing on her. ...and maybe invite her along? It might help if you had a normal-sized person to act as mediator. Or you know, go into places you can't.

Kotsiki is more of a known entity. There's a good chance he will at least be able to tell what exactly happened to you. That would probably be the smart choice.

...but stumbling around the woods, looking for a tiny kobold you know very little about sounds like a much better adventure. You have to go for that.

Before he get too far give him a hug to show appreciation for his help.

If she agree, you should absolutely bring Cho with you.

Visit the kobbles! They're used to everyone being bigger than them.

>>736840
Go see the kobolds. If you head into a forest, you're less likely to attract trouble from civilization.

See if Cho wants to come with you.

And thank Dreng for helping you. He actually came to help, despite whatever happened in the past, and you probably won't see him for a while.

You might actually ask him, before you leave, if he or anyone he knows in town happens to need anything done that you could help with. Moving something massive and heavy, digging something, or otherwise doing something that would normally take a while but that someone with house-sized hands could easily do.

What exactly happened to make him hate you and still not forgive you?

Magic seems like the sort of thing where actual USEFUL information should beat out having the right skills to do something but not being sure what the issue is.
Like, it might even be that Dreng could fix you, but without knowing WHAT the issue is, he'd be basically going in blind and hoping he doesn't accidentaly make you explode and cover the country in feathers. Let's go get identified first, if we can swing it.

>>736841
I believe he was just using it as a generalized 'curse' word.

Either way, we may have more help from the bold? I mean we wouldn't look like we are attacking a gigantic city.

Go find Kotsiki

Don't forget to say thank you.

Kobolds sound like a plan.

>>736987
Don't forget to say fuck you.

>>736840
ask cho if she want to come to ur epic quest

Kotsiki, they can probably identify the magic and give us a referral to a specialist to cure it from there. The generalist may be able to do both but might not be good enough at either to do them making them a waste of time. Basically, Kotsiki is a longer route with greater likelihood of success guaranteed so go with that.

Uh.

Wow, I had no idea he could move that fast.

>What exactly happened to make him hate you and still not forgive you?
It's... complicated. He might feel like I'm responsible for his career as a magician stalling at village level.

>a lot of actually well-reasoned debate
... So it sounds like you guys think going to the kobold generalist is the better idea. Which I guess makes sense, since she might be able to just solve everything in one fell swoop. It can't be that hard to fix me, right...?

... Also not having to try to go to a city is probably a good thing.

>...there's no language barrier with kobolds, is there? They speak the same language you do?
Iiiiiiiii don't actually know very much about kobolds. It's not like I've been very far away from here before, you know.

Thinking about it, the kobold traders who occasionally stop by the village square seemed like they had a bit of an accent, but I don't know if that's because they speak a different dialect of the language I speak, or if they normally speak some other language and they learned this one so they could trade.

I guess we'll find out?

... I feel like her argument is not as solid as she thinks it is, but I know from experience that I'm not going to convince her otherwise.

"Um, you should probably at least take some stuff with you for when we get to where other people are again, I think? Like, uh, some money or something?"

"Oh right I was gonna go get my pouch!"

She and scampers into her house.

... Uh, actually, what am I gonna do for food while traveling...?

Do you like broccoli? You see those trees over there? Basically broccoli. More seriously, though, I don't think there's an ecosystem in the world built to support something like you, and you certainly can't afford to buy that much food, so I feel like you're going to need to just collect every single large animal you see on the way, and maybe make a few detours if you can't find enough normally. I hope the local wildlife isn't too cute, because you'll probably need to eat them like popcorn.

>>738615
She might want fire starting supplies just for warm food, even if she can rely on your body heat for sleeping on. And she might want some kind of food, just in case you're an incompetent hunter.

>... Uh, actually, what am I gonna do for food while traveling...?
Starve, probably. I mean, your meals need to be scaled up as much as you have, right? That's a lot of food!

I suppose if you're herbivorous you could just defoliate the landscape as you passed, but securing large quantities of meat or other foods might be tricky.

You need to tell Cho, more decisively, that she needs to pack a few things. Some of her suggestions would get her hurt or killed.

>>738615
> "Nah I already thought about this! I don't really need something to sleep on, 'cause I can sleep on top of you or next to you or something,

If she wants to sleep on you during the day while you walk, and stay up while you sleep, that might be OK, if she can find a way to do so securely without any chance of falling off; however, if she sleeps on or near you while you sleep, one minor motion from you and she gets crushed or falls from a deadly height.

This much is probably true, though size isn't always an advantage; you can pretty much stomp anything, but you can't be discriminate; if someone or something attacks her, we'd have a hard time hitting them and not her.

> and I don't really need anything to make a fire with, because it's not like a little fire I could make would do anything for you anyway,

It'll help keep her warm, though. (She won't be able to use you for that at night, because of the crushing/falling problem above. And it'd be a bad idea for you to stay awake and travel at night, because you won't be able to see well enough to avoid stumbling, or stepping on someone.) A fire will also let her cook her food, unless she likes eating raw meat.

> and I don't really need food, because I can just count on you to probably scare a deer to death or something... so really I should be fine!"

It might take us a few tries to figure out how to do this. She might want to bring at least a day's worth of food as a backup plan.

> ... Uh, actually, what am I gonna do for food while traveling...?

Judging by Cho's comment, she eats meat; do you as well? If so, you'll probably end up eating wild game, whole, and often. (Another good reason to head into the forest: more likely to find food there.)

>>738615
Well, there's magic. Is it possible for you to get a magic item that keeps you from starving?

>>738625

This is a good option. As for the sleeping thing, there are a few places she could sleep where accidental crushing is less of a problem. Certainly suggest to bring her own supplies, but there is no reason to not experiment if it makes things easier.

Also, Bau, seriously, you are big. No, you don't have to be monstrous and destructive, but you seem almost too careful. Enjoy yourself; keep it in your mind everything will work out in the end.

what do you normally eat? because you're green and seeing as you're heading towards an area with lots of green you could probably ambush something. If you know how to swim you could try your hand at fishing... maybe... now that I think about it normal fish probably would do jack shit to fill you up and anything that could fill your gut would probably be something out of nightmare. Well if all else fails you could raid a farm or something in the middle of the night for some of there crops.

So now you want to thing about your bodily functions...
For a short period of time you can just eat whatever cross your path to avoid starvation and keep moving to hopefully avoid environmental consequences. For the long run you either need a good deal with a productive agrarian civilization, or good nets to live on the most plentiful creatures of the ocean.

>I don't really need to bring anything to protect myself with, because I'm traveling with you and seriously who is gonna fight you?
Adventurers who, through many misunderstandings, will think Bau is a monster and attack him. Because let's be honest, I'm sure they've killed things as big as and/or bigger than Bau.

>>738654
This does raise a good question: are multiple languages in widespread use in this region, and do you speak the most common one? Are you likely to be understood in most places, by most other beings?

(And do you speak any other languages?)

I see two options.
1)You could use your INCREDIBLE GIANT STRENGTH to do things that would take entire teams of people long periods of time to do. I'm thinking construction, demolition, and earth-working. You can then use the pay that would otherwise be given to entire teams of people to buy massive amounts of food.

or... 2)
BEAR SMASHING.
Or any large animal for that matter. You are easily The Apex predator. Every terrifying horrible man-eating creature you've ever heard about is little more than food to you now. Just one good hit should take about anything out. Any thing too fast for you can easily be trapped under a mountain of thrown dirt or crushed under a thrown tree.

>Is it possible for you to get a magic item that keeps you from starving?
That would be really convenient, but where would I get it??

>Judging by Cho's comment, she eats meat; do you as well?
Uh, yeah, that's pretty much what ketzas eat. I've heard that before we had domesticated animals we just ate whatever was small enough for us to kill, which...

>I hope the local wildlife isn't too cute, because you'll probably need to eat them like popcorn
>you'll probably end up eating wild game, whole, and often
I, uh... I don't really wanna think about that...

I mean, I'm not really, like, a hunter or anything! I usually just buy—uh, bought—food from someone else!

Even if it scaled up, ketzas don't have to eat that much... I hope...

I'm just gonna, uh, think about something else for a while.

>are multiple languages in widespread use in this region, and do you speak the most common one?
Pretty much every race has its own language. Conveniently, though, the language we ketzas around here speak is the local language of trade!

I'm not totally sure why. Maybe it's because of the nobles? I know the noble over in Hau To Tyo is a ketza, and the noble above him is a ketza, and I think whoever is above her is a ketza too? I'm not, like, super familiar with the nobility or anything, though.

>And do you speak any other languages?
I do not! Hopefully it won't be a problem...? Um. Hadn't thought about that before either.

I hope this works out okay.

>Every terrifying horrible man-eating creature you've ever heard about is little more than food to you now.
I, uh. I'm pretty sure I'm smaller than a dragon. Like, potentially, a lot smaller than a dragon. Depending on how big the dragon is, I guess. But I hear they're really big.

Or, like. A roc. Rocs are a lot bigger than this, too. One of the university souts was showing off a roc feather, and, like, he was keeping it in a wagon, okay? ... I mean, it wasn't the only thing in the wagon, but it was big enough to need one, is the point.

I mean, even the smaller big creatures are probably as big as I am.

... I guess I probably won't run into anything like that in the forest, but, uh... I'm not that big! Ketzas are pretty small, so even if I'm as tall as ten ketzas, that's not as big as you seem to think it is!

"Bau, are you okay? You look like you're thinking really, really hard about something."

Uh, how long has Cho been back? It looks like she packed something halfway substantial, anyway.

"Uh, don't... don't worry about it."

"Okay!"

"So, um, what did you actually end up putting in there...?"

"I put in some coins, like you said, and then I thought about it and figured maybe I'd want a fire anyway, so I have a little fire starter stone thing, and then I figured it couldn't hurt to be too comfortable so I got my bedroll cushion thing and put that in there too, and then I grabbed some jerky in case you really suck at hunting or something."

... I think that's about everything you were going to have me bring up with her, actually.

"Oh and I went and got everything valuable I could find in what's left of your house! Mostly just coins. Everything else was kinda broken."

"Uh, thanks... I guess it's time for us to—"

"... cho please"

"You seem like you need a hug!"

"but that's, like, my foot"

"I'm doing what I can, okay? Who complains about a free hug from a ketza, anyway, huh?"

... well, um.

... before I head out on the road I should probably think about how exactly I'm going to be traveling, shouldn't I.

Travel off-road. Have Cho ride you, otherwise you won't make good time.

Also,you have Rocs there? That's some scary shit.

>>740733
Travel along like, the side of the road if there is one. Less animals to step on near roads.

>... before I head out on the road I should probably think about how exactly I'm going to be traveling, shouldn't I.
Are you heavy enough to actually crack or damage the road?

If we come to a place with a bridge, you might be better off just stepping across the gap.

>>740733
Offer her a hand up!

I hope you're feet are clean! Otherwise, Cho just hugged some really big and really stinky feet!

Stay close to the road. It will prevent you from getting lost and it gives people forewarning that you are coming by. It might scare them, but at least they'll see you coming and avoid you if they want to.

>>740767

Indeed, give Cho a hand! No need to unnecessarily tire her out having her try to keep up with you.

>>740785

Also, yeah, I hope your feet were clean. Heh.

>>740745
> Travel off-road. Have Cho ride you, otherwise you won't make good time.

Agreed. Probably easiest for her to ride on the top of your head. Plenty of ways for her to hold on there. Plus, then she won't have to yell as loud for you to hear her.

>>740767
But what if we need to engage in hand-to-hand combat?

It's likely that the enlargement made Bau huge but none of the things ON him. Like, no dirt or other smelly grime got embiggened so he's proportionally much cleaner.

I can only assume the necessary bio-ecology inside him was enlarged, though. If not he's gonna have some problems.
