Y'know maybe Dama should be at the snack table too. can't drink on an empty stomach after all.

And he could get Yamelle cake

Da is developing a resting " i am surrounded by imbeciles" expression.
I mean, sure, hus friends are helping with that but, i wouldnt like to see it get stuck that way
But, does it reach all the way down to the core?
Is he a fun drunk, messy drunk or even more dour?
Thinking on it, the only way to truly pay back friends who have gone to an effort for you is to show them your joy.
A drink of each then!

Set Dama's drinking level to Snowpoppy Mead Fan. It's a celebration for sure, but one not to get so drunk it's forgotten in the morning.

Snowpoppy for now. If things get more annoying, just drink stronger stuff to make it through the night.

You know i just realized, are ma and da the only one with paint markings on their faces?

Sumire: "Last time, many other factors were working to your advantage. You took me off guard and had the bunny girl at your side. This time around, it is a battle one, which you won't win."


A) Let her go without a fight.

B) Stop her from escaping.

C)___________________________

B) There's more to this. You still haven't captured everyone who made this spell. Sumire is your strongest lead.
And it's possible the spell has secretly enslaved everyone to the creator's will, which makes any loose ends manchurian threats.

C) tell her she's just as beholden to a monster as long as she keeps that spell. both the empress and sorcerer are just after power and control. Sumire should forge her own path.

Akane: "You are just as beholden to a monster as long as she keeps that spell. Both the empress and the sorceress are just after power and control. You should forge your own path."

Sumire: "And that is what I do plan to do, I do not want to work for the empress and the sorceress. If you want to fight in their battle, feel free to do that. I do not want to participate in it. Just because I have her protection spell doesn't mean that she has control over me."

Akane: "How did you even know that the whole loyalty act would work for you!"

Sumire: "Do you think this is the first group that the sorceress approached with the protection spell? This is just the biggest one, and I know all too well how to get it and keep it."

Akane: "You are the strongest lead that we can have. Why don't you help me try to capture her?"

Sumire: "Why would I sacrifice everything that I worked so hard to get by going after her. You do that if you wish."

Akane: "You are selfish!"

Sumire: "When you do this job long enough, you will also start to see the world the same way that I do. I said to you all what I wanted. So what will you do now?"


A) Let her go.

B) Fight her.

>>1119278
Sumire is a liar and a betrayer of the innocent. B:She cannot be allowed to roam free. If we gain nothing else from this meeting, then at least we have the chance to ensure she cannot escape to harm anyone else.

For all her claims of remorse, her own deeds show her true nature. She says she hoped we would thwart the Sisterhood she fought for, yet she made no move to save the Princess or any of their other victims. She claims to have daughters she cares for, yet she leaves her life behind as soon as she has the opportunity. If she truly has a family, then we shall see that she never has the chance to betray them like she betrayed our Princess.

We wear a mask, but we know what lies beneath. This coward cannot even face herself.

When I chose to meet Sumire, I had hoped she would offer some compelling reason for her distrust of our Empress, some dire warning of things to come. Yet it seems she has none to give. She thinks it strange that the Empress chose to send a kunoichi only when she needed us to save her Princess. I think that infiltration is a job for a kunoichi, and defending towns from raiders is a job for her Eminence's soldiers. If there is any reason to distrust our Empress, we shall not learn it from this traitor.

Swiftly you make your way south. There's a few close calls, but everyone manages to avoid stepping on the plaster chips.

The kitchen door stands before you, shut tight. You can hear some sounds of activity behind it's peeling wood. Faint bluish light peeks through the crack below.

The bones of a broken glass rest next to a sizable hole in the floor. Looks like fungos cleaned up the spill and kept going. The chamber below runs north, with a exit at the other end to the east.

There is also a vent passage, corroded open by some fungo's secretions. It travels east, you can't see how far.

You think you can hear movement both north and east, but it's not close.

Damn you, door!
Let's try the vent passage.

You could hope for gabe to stay safe, if you want to treat him like the delicate treasure that he is. But a harsh punishment so early in his training would help him so much more in the long run. When his thoughts of Master's cruelty change from a pleasing fantasy to a painful reality, he'll learn to endure far more than just the temptation of a forced orgasm. And with that fear lingering in the back of his mind, he'll be encouraged to fulfill orders he could never have done before, knowing what could be done to to him if he fails.

Besides, it wouldn't be fair to deny him the experience after planting the seed in his mind like that. Whether it's from trying to betray his Master and getting caught, or trying to obey Master and just not being good enough, he should have something to look forward to once Argus is done with His other toys. Unless He set up an automatic punishment for when the poor boy failed His task... like the vibration stopping right after the point of no return, forcing gabe to waste his shot with no stimulation? Let's hope he doesn't avoid being trapped forever in Master's gallery like that.

>>>1119221
That reminds me. If kol's spirit form is made of his essence, might we be able to shape it like Argus can shape His form? We can test that out at least a little now, try to stretch our muscles or twist our spine just slightly more than we can with our fleshy body.

Feeling the eyes of his master watching him, Kol keeps up his pace, moaning into his gag as the pressure builds.

“That’s it! Come on!” Argus leers, feeling his servant’s body begin to tense up, “Take it like a champ! Show me what you can do, mousey!”

Sensing his rhythm starting to falter, Kol nods and replies with a “Mhhmm!”

He drives himself all the way onto Argus’s shaft, using his spirit to slowly squeeze onto the wolf’s knot with a pop. Kol feels the thick cock hilt itself inside him and squeaks into the rubber of his gag. Unable to finish just yet, his spirit keeps riding, bouncing in place while his body clenches around Argus’s girth.

His master growls appreciatively, feeling his angelic cock being milked by both Kol’s forms. “Ah! Yes! Keep doing that!” He stands up suddenly, clutching Kol to his hips as his muscles start to shudder, “Moon and Bone, I’m gonna cum!”

The first pulse of Argus’s load hits Kol’s insides like liquid fire. The angelic essence coats his well-used passage in white, infusing the mouse with a shot of mana. The sudden surge of energy tips him over the edge in an instant, and he feels time slow down as his orgasm hits.

>>1119250
Success! Our almighty Master has taken our pride, our freedom, our manhood, and our body, but we still have the skill and the willpower to satisfy the greater Man in our new role! Being a pleasure toy is all we can do under His power, but if we've got anything left to be proud of, we've got to cling to it while we still can.

Now there's no choice left but to let Master take our mind next. The first time He let us cum was so intense it was like He took our virginity all over again. What is He going to do with us this time...?

>>1119250
Keep your eyes and senses open Kol! This is what you were asking for and now you've got a whole new way to observe this to figure out how it was done! Don't worry too hard about trying to figure it out your first try though, I'm sure you'll have plenty more time wrapped up like this in the future to figure things out~

Results are quieter than one might expect, though far from silent. First, an aura like the southern lights - or Elanyah, once she re-learned how to dance - condenses around the ship's narrow portion. (The neck, if you're thinking of it as a bird with forward-swept wings, or the tail if it's easier to conceptualize as a manta ray.) Coruscating ripples shimmer in and out of phase, visible analogue to an orchestra tuning up, then the final synchronized pattern is exponentially amplified, coalescing from the 'shoulders' down toward a single point just beyond the pointy end... which loses all cohesion as it intersects the dock, and explodes.

Screams of failing girders are felt in the feet and gut more than the ears, like an oddly high-pitched earthquake. Hundred thousand tons of spaceship descends two dozen meters, tilting about thirty degrees, as half the floor crumples out from under it. Overpressure equalizes along the now-shorter passage tube as a brief, gentle breeze.

Reiko stares at the crush landing.

"...That just happened."

She slaps her forehead, double checks to ensure the mimics fled the scene, then rushes to the ship (with the mechanic and any other loose luggage around) dangerous as it may be to move towards the wreck, she'd rather be inside the ship once it crashes even further, rather than just outside the potential hull breach when it gets kinetic.

Once inside, Reiko does a quick search of the area, trying to find out what went wrong as soon as possible so the party can stop any further movement that could widen the breach.

"Is everyone all right?"

Not exactly the result expected, but Cricket certainly succeeded in making entrance easier. Natalina will advocate for getting onboard quickly, before it has a chance to move again, potentially separating them from Cricket. Once we're sure the situation is stable, we can worry about loading it with the larger cache of supplies back by the elevator.

Now that the door is so much more accessible, the first order of business is to attempt to close it behind us. Let's try and ensure no mimics migrate into what we can hope is a mimic-free space? Not in any particular rush, so applying Understanding. Training in Perception might be relevant to finding the control, or in the datasphere to operating... though the inability in using numenera may as well.

Sam supposes that she may have seen or spoken to the Jurist of this chapel at her mother’s burial, but she doesn’t remember well, nor does she remember if this is the same person. At the very least, she wouldn’t know anything useful about the individual currently stand- floating before her.

Take stock of your situation. We have no reason to believe you're in immediate danger, but we don't know what's going on in your environment either.

Are you aware of any potential reason for the, ah, atmospheric disturbance? Any major events in the news, significant dates, disturbing conspiracy theories circulating?

Do you recognize the glyph you're sporting? It kind of looks like a terminal prompt to me.

Agree with the recommendation to pack a go bag. We only arrive on the scene shortly before the shit hits the fan, and whoever we're with is always in the thick of it. But we usually get a bit of time first so we can get a handle on the situation we've ended up in. No reason you can't also use that time to prepare.

By that same token, where and when is this?

Alrighty, we got the funnies out of our system (for now).

Actual answer as to what we are: We are simply 'We', but can take many names. And 'We' arrive into realms shortly before a major upheaval to guide one or more individuals through it advantageously. You have been marked as one to guide, and this 'We' are gonna do it as best we can.

Ask the biological weapon if their wielder was born stupid or took too many blows to the distributed process matrix over the years, then attempt to negotiate directly with Sine. The one holding them seems like a rogue element with no authority to actually force them to fire.

They live in an authoritarian populist regime; motivations towards loyalty are far more important to their survival than keeping the tentacles on the trigger. Now that they have 'due cause', they control the narrative of this encounter.

A (rescue) or C (third way investigation). Not sure what the recycling center can teach us about the void around town. As for the building's purpose, odds are it's to recycle people into new babies. Investigating the police could give us answers to questions about people.

Fuck yeah boi

As for your decisions… 2 is best for everyone. Let Clive keep being the big brother. If it’s necessary to hurt adults in the future and Clive needs to draw strength, maybe there’s solace in knowing he’s kept Rodney’s secret. If it’s important for people to know the truth, Albert or Roger will sense that something is off, and maybe then we reveal it.

For location, I vote A. It’s rescue time. There’s too much bad shit happening, too many corpses, and too high a likelihood of losing someone else. And if Clive DOES end up telling the truth because of spiritual influence, I don’t really like the idea of him having a point of insanity AND potentially losing Rodney if we go somewhere else. The guilt of not going ASAP could wreck Clive.

1: You know you aren't a killer. If they are relying on your capability you won't deliver.

And more than that it should show what all of them will very likely have to do. Rodney did what he did to protect you, what was necessary. Every parent in this town is in on this, you'll end up having to protect yourselves from them too.

A: The dead from this night are going to be missed. This is the only time the high school will not be on high guard. Delay means the only concrete goal you have will be made harder.

Also its going to be guerilla tactics from this point out. The more kids on your side the better. The more loose ends the adults have to hunt down, the more their attention is divided.

>>1119157
Did you mean to pick 1 here? Cause 1 is basically saying "yes I am a killer and am capable of killing" Which as you said. Is not true nor is it the reason Clive is saying this (to protect his brothers image).

Personally if your goal is to show them what may be necessary than telling them Rodney killed their parents is the way to go. They probably wouldn't expect him to be capable of that and it would serve as an example that ANYBODY can be a killer in the right situation.

Get infrared goggles, a where's waldo book (to purge Gladii's visual memory), a paint scraper, and some plaster to cover up the paint if we can't get it all off.

I think we're overthinking this a bit. This problem can be handled with several gallon buckets of black paint, a paint roller with a long handle (plus paint tray), and a pair of those horizontal glasses that show you a 90 degree view.

As long as you don't look up you're safe. So keeping your view of the floor, paint over the entire wall. Starting with the bottom half and work your way up.

You will also need about a dozen digital cameras for testing.

How long ago was the camera installed? Halo guy might come back to check on his work.

I think we could probably use the broken mirror to get a look at the basilisk, safely. As an extra precaution we could view the mirror through the live feed on a camera.
But I don't expect there to be anything special in the next room, let alone evidence painted on the walls. We're already down an agent, we should do the coverup and get out.

Our orders are to eliminate the anomaly, by means. Is the anomaly the paint job in the next room, halo guy, or the deadly nature of the image?

Gladii isn't a musician and he is. Was. So it probably was him. Possibly along with whatever... stresses you pulled out of Gladii? Nevertheless it is well known that the dead would like to stay dead, and you should only disturb them if you have a very good reason to do so.

I'd suggest you appreciate the silence, but well, Gladii's breathing... maybe you should destroy that painting right now, so the mission is complete and the Agency can uh... make Gladii stop being. Injured.

If we paint over it, then it'll still be there, behind the paint...

Unless Magic Circle could be used to buff Shatter and Lock Down, it could be best just to use Shatter to destroy someone's armor.

A couple hours after preparations are made the Harbinger militia arrives.

the group is being led inquisitor Sabria

Oragatt could...
a) spring the ambush from the front and attack the Inquisitor
b) attack the from the flank and let Herocea handle the Inquisitor
c) Leave herself in reserve and let Herocea fight on her own
d) leave Herocea in reserve and challenge the group herself
and if she mixes magic with any of these strategies how should she do it?

Attack on your own with Herocea in reserve. They'll be used to fighting giants. If they have to shift their tactics to a smaller opponent using powerful magics, they'll be caught off guard when she reveals herself again! Also, her javelins can be tossed from range.

Magnetize: Send someone's weapon into the drink.
Spectral Armor - a surprise buff to Herocea.
Power Strike, Empower Weapon: Well, I don't think these take much imagination.
Rain of boulders - While the enemy leads from the front, the boulders can crush the rearguard.
Molten Bolt and Channel Heat could be used to strike two targets in rapid succession with fire.
Lock Down: Freeze a shield in place, making it easier to work around.

I'd say attack from the left flank, specifically, and leave Herocea in reserve.

* Herocea is the Harbingers' here. If the initial attack goes wrong, we want to give her space to retreat if necessary.

* The Harbinger's original posse are going to be the hardest to take down, given the superior armor and experience, but we might be able to cut down her newer recruits (i.e. the two fish and the dog(?) on the left) before they can respond. Plus, even if we have to retreat, if we drive away most of her reinforcements, she'll have to waste time recruiting again before following Herocea. Opening with Rain of Boulders and following it up by attacking the wounded is probably our best bet.

I agree with leaving Herocea in reserve, as this group has already faced her once before. They would only be more efficient at dealing with her a second time. Let them focus on Oragatt, and have Herocea strike when they least expect it. If Herocea can attack even once while their backs are turned, the results could be devastating. Don't underestimate the power of a giant.

Flank the group. The Inquisitor will take time to bring down, and if you take her head-on then you will be peppered with attacks by the rest of her group while you fight her. Take out as many of the small fries as you can before addressing her.

I suggest Mind Slaving one of them, whoever you think will be susceptible, and having them attack their comrades while you come in from the opposite side, where their attention isn't. Split their attention from the start.

If you can prep it alongside the Mind Slave spell, I would also suggest casting Power Strike for your first attack, to increase your odds of taking someone out of combat before it even begins (or at least leave them in a really bad position). I'd suggest one of the giraffes.

Why??? Seriously we've been trying to kill her for a while now that seems terribly counter-productive

>>1118958
some people really wanna collect cute girls like they're pokemon no matter how bad an idea it is

>>1118958
It's fine, just bring back a tiny version of her so she's harmless.

I think we have a lot of questions and should probably ask “so hey what’s up with that” but I sort of suspect the reason she’s not been in hero mode

Regardless! We should keep building up our network of support and make friends with them — we should also grab all the runes, clothes and prepared food this place has we can take back

>>1119050
>grab all the runes
Careful with that, we've been warned about what happens when there are too many runes in one place. I wonder if transforming them into many different runes instead of having them all be the same would help with that, tho.
