Honestly? A summoner seems like the better bet here since you're going up against a full-on wizard. Besides, it'll help you get more 'contacts' that might look favorably upon you for later fun!

I guess I'd lean towards the mortal disguise. You're not at risk, so playing with a lower power bank isn't that big of a deal.

Quick question: This is a dungeon and presumably has delvers in it, could you do the whole demon classic of - find someone in a dire situation and offer them a deal for help - thing? Could be a way to get summoned by someone already in the place we're aiming for and gives you an automatic minion to act on your will.

Possible answers to the question that was asked:

A) Somebody was attacked in this room.

B) Are you connected to what is happening here?

C) You should forget it. I just thought that I saw something.

D) Other suggestions.

Let's pretend that we didn't see anything. All of the things that we observed is confusing to understand. Also we don't want this person to see us as crazy, that is ny job.

say you thought you saw something behind the door. open door to check if anything's there.

A. There's no way he'd believe you if we chose C, and I don't think this guy is related to anyone from out of this world, and Moonplant and Liverig showed up later. He might know Octavia though

"It was dark so I couldn't see well, but I believe I just saw the author Octavia Devenol get attacked by a figure with weird tentacles going right into the author's eye sockets. They kinda looked like one of the visitors visiting this world, Carnavia i think?
Octavia collapsed and then was taken away by the figure. The figure's face morphed into what looked like Lady Liverig's daughter Moonplant before leaving I think? and, and..."

Bobbie, Look out the window, see if they are escaping outside, perhaps you might get a better view of who you just came across.

There's no way I'm sending spy rat to chase them, the little guy suffered enough. In fact, Pet him to feel better, and calm your nerves, Bobbie. It might calm Spy rat down too after the night he had.

But I will say that Carnavia is a bio weapon virus not of this world, and she may have taken control of Moonplant. Might do the same to Octavia, or may have just eaten her.

How do I know this? uhhh, I think I overheard someone in the party room talk about Carnavia. It's probably important for this guy to know in case Carnavia starts becoming a threat, considering she gotten at least one or two people.

>Tell us about who we were before we were consumed!
>We were obviously a malkavian, why else would there be a lot of other voices.

It would be difficult to say who the voices in your head were before they were eaten, as there's simply too many for you to count. Not all of your meals were meant to lower your generation, others were to permanently eliminate a rival, or to seal a threat against enemy kindred.

Of course, one of them was a Malkavian...so perhaps that's why their voices are so much more noticeable than before. You've only taken to listening to them recently, but their words tend to have much more sway than in the past.


>So this place is under new management than?
>Is this person anyone we know?
>Shes young or adaptable.

Getting back to the subject at hand, your attention shifts to the woman in a power suit. She appears older than you, but that's not much help when it comes to Kindred, assuming she's of the blood. Her language is much sleeker than your own, which suggests she's either freshly embraced, or much better at shifting to changing times. You hadn't gone to the latest Elysium, so there's a chance that this woman is with the Camarilla and has only just entered the city.

I mean, it's not likely, but it's always a possibility.

>Well it seems she wants to talk.
>Smile, as if you are delighted.

A part of you is frustrated that once again you fall into Kindred politics, while another wonders if you were planning this from the start. You bite the inside of your mouth for the smallest millisecond, before letting it melt into a smile. This is proving to be somewhat difficult for you, given your lack of usual expression, but you do what you can.

"Well, I don't like to rob myself of surprises entirely, and here is the payoff - where I expected only a meal, I get novelty too, and what an impressive first impression..."

The woman's eyebrows raise, the wrinkles on her face pulling up with a grin that crosses her black painted lips. Even if she is younger than you, she carries a body language rich with experience.

"Oh my my my my MY, aren't we eager to praise tonight." Her voice is like a trapeze artist dancing through the air, limbs splaying back and forth as if she's going to come crashing down into the dirt. "Seems you're smart enough to try and read what I want...it's a VERY becoming trait of a young woman."

...and just like that, the acrobat skillfully nails the landing.

"Well, I can play to one's desires and also speak the truth, yes?" You slip into a familiar rhythm of honey words loaded with implication, something you picked up in your first ten years of unlife. "I mean, you must admit you leave quite an impression, I can't help but be impressed."

The main piece of advice you should be implicitly giving her is that you have no idea what the fuck she's actually trying to say.

So sip your wine and don't say another word. Spend your time here contemplating your next move.

bow you're head a little in acknowledgement to let her know you heard her but don't shake the hand. You just grabbed your wine glass and it would be terribly inconvenient to put it back down before you stated your thirst after all.

Though I can't tell if she's just doing a bad job of trying to mind control you or is desperate to look powerful in the hopes of winning you over to her side to build up a power base since she is new to this city... or at least new to being someone who's considered a player (no mater how small) rather than just a pawn.

Make sure there's all a few asteroids between you and them. It'll give you some cover and help avoid getting shot.

In fact, you can start throwing the asteroids at them if you need to. Even if they blast the asteroids to pieces, enough debris can slow them down or make them hesitant to get closer.

Yeah, how much force can you bring to bear? flinging rocks at them might be your only option

I think optimally what you do is evade them until they can't report back what's happening, and then call for backup... but I suspect there is no such thing as limited range on their comms.

Try calling for help. If your employers refuse, give yourself up.

You don't have weapons. They have weapons. Your best bet is to charge in, preferably from an ambush, and steal their weaponry. The asteroid hiding plan may be your best shot.

Seems like Fennel might enjoy perusing Cecils collection of toys. They're of different sizes/textures, and one could easily enchant them to vibrate (or 'drill')... Like a dick, but they don't leave a mess afterwards!

Casey could also experiment with how many tentacles Fennel can take at once.

As Casey drills her insides, Fennel’s form starts to drip and ooze. The mouse adds more and more tendrils, trying to support the elemental as her body comes apart. Finally, in a series of gasping squeals, the undine loses cohesion; splashing everywhere as she drops through the net of tentacles like a bucket of water overturned.

“Woah! Are you okay?” Casey asks before sticking her head underwater and looking for any sign of the elemental.

Cutting through the sound of water in her ears, Fennel’s voice reaches the mouse. “Ooohhh that was fuuuuun. “

Kol feels the thick cock inside him twitch at the sound of his words. The tip presses up against his inner walls, through which he can feel Caleb’s pulse racing. The selkie looks down at him with an expression of unbearable lust and wordlessly leans down as he pushes the guardian’s legs up.

Just as he promised on the night of their engagement, the sailor is gentle, slow and romantic, but above all he is [i]strong[\i]. His hips drive into Kol like an icebreaker, plowing into the mouse’s ass with a power that could cleave the sea. Clearly holding himself back from the desire to fuck his fiancé senseless, the fae groans and seethes as though under pressure. His cock slips smoothly in and out, like a piston in a massive engine: each thrust calculated to tap gently against Kol’s backside before drawing away.

The big man brings his head close to Kol’s and delicately makes out with him: his tongue dipping and teasing with his partner’s like a skimmer on the waves. The mouse welcomes him back in kind, arching up to extend each kiss a moment longer, and moaning happily with each achingly slow thrust.

That's two out of four conscripts taken care of. Still need to deal with the other fish and the giraffe. If we can get rid of them, I'm sure we can take care of the three big shots with Herocea as backup.

Let's see who else we can toss in the river before Sabria cuts down our thrall. No magic if possible; we want to have something up our sleeve if we start facing trouble from divine magic.

Sabria is going to be busy dealing with the little guy, so turn your attention to the others. Your top priority should be stopping anyone from throwing divine magic on you, like they did to Herocea before. Try to interrupt their mage/clerics with a molten bolt before they can get their spells off, or a regular attack if they're close enough.

Tumbling through the endless night between Earth and the sun is a bubble of blue-green water about 30 miles (48 km) in diameter called Branu’s Kiss. A riot of green and blue plantlife fills the Kiss, so thick that it’s usually impossible for creatures inside to see more than a long distance (100'/30m) in any direction. Among the junglelike submerged growths of green and yellow, shoals of multicolored fish swarm and dart. With shimmering tails and golden fins, they evade darker, larger predatory shapes streaming translucent, flesh-absorbing shrouds. Thousands of tiny living creatures constantly swim through the Kiss, and as often as not, they tickle the back of an explorer’s neck or legs in their profusion.
A powerful automaton named Branu tends to the Kiss, seeing to the habitat’s welfare and protection like a gardener. Branu nourishes that which enriches the Kiss and eliminates that which it judges to be as useless as a weed. The automaton also protects the Crux, a massive device at the heart of the Kiss. The Crux maintains the environment within the bubble, constantly treating the water to make it breathable and scrubbing it so that toxins don’t build up. The Crux also extrudes new animal and plant species into the Kiss, though much of what the device produces eventually dies off. Still, biodiversity remains much higher than such a small environment would be able to evolve on its own.

On approach, Branu hails your ship and makes an olive-priority request - significantly higher than the ship seems to think is normal for traffic control directions, but a notch below full emergency - that you dock at a specific spot on the surface, before a specific time, which is less than an hour away. Achieving the specified rendezvous will require pushing the ship's maneuveri

Lastly have Gargill write a letter to the cops/lawyers dropping Lucy's charges "thanks to Dave's snooping". She's useful. Dropoff at an unmanned postal box should be covert and easy to pull off.

"Oohhh it looks like a nest!" said one of the ants, looking over the tangled wires on display. "But shouldn't the tunnels at the front and back be connected?"

"Well yeah" said Foreman "They connect at the... battery." a red cursor appeared on screen and circled a battery shaped hole in the design. "There's uh, supposed to be a battery there."

"I think there's supposed to be a motor too." Slime pointed out.

"Well easy, I'll just copy one from this other thing." Foreman added some components to the design and it reassembled into a car. "I'll print it out and it'll be good to go."

You strain with all your might to budge the troll blooded woman but to no avail. Which would be perfect.

Unfortunately, her stockings prove slicker than you expected and as you straighten your legs and push, instead of remaining immobile, your hands glide up her legs and you end up gripping her backside like someone was going to steal it from you.

Sala is staring straight forwards for what feels like 30 seconds but is probably less than 3. Her head stays forward, but her widened eyes shift down to you.

Sorry for the delay and weird art. New set up experimentation. I understand if you need to re-read the whole story at this point.

"See? Itd only get more embarrassing from here. Youre a lady. Aint dignified bein lifted in a shortskirt with gams like that."

Gotta make her feel like shes the dame she is pal.
She is, but i guess shes a bit self conscious about being strong. Thinkin its all unfeminine like.
Shes wrong and all, but that aint the kind of baggage you can smoothe talk her into puttin down no matter how gifted your gab.

======
(Worry not. Good to see you back. Art still good too.)

Back away slowly, gently dust off her skirt.
Uhhh. Yep. Can't get a good grip. See? Now it's her turn.

>>1127127
gonna need a smoke after that

If you have a raging bonheur at this point, hide it and try to see how she reacts to your hands being where they currently are, because that's potential for plauseable deniability

BEAK?: “It is not.”

UBERTO: “What could that possibly mean?”

OYARSA: “I am outside. Waiting in the innavigable darkness that looms beyond the edge of your world. Peering through the holes in the sky with eyes that are not yet real.”

UBERTO: “Oh, like plague locusts? You know them, Sam, those freaky bug monsters that sometimes try to swarm the City. They think they come - spontaneously generate - from nothing, or almost nothing, now. I guess it makes sense, since they’re always coming out of the ground or melting through walls, but I always thought they came from somewhere, you know?”

SAM: “Is it like that?”

The beak scoffs. Then coughs.

BEAK?: “In the same way… you emerge from the same womb… that births roaches and… maggots.”

UBERTO: “Eugh.”

>unless beak has anything else to say you should return to the others.

Now seems like a natural break in the conversation. Sam can’t think of anything else to ask at the moment, anyway.

SAM: “Let’s go meet up with the others. I want to know if the feather can withstand that.”

UBERTO: “Sounds like a plan.”

The two bump into Simone first.

SIMONE: “Oh, hey. I was just coming to check if you two want to come down the well with me. I don’t- I don’t really want to do it alone. Justice McGregor says they’ll go if you go.”

SAM: “Justice McGregor?”

SIMONE: “Your jurist friend who you’ve been travelling with?”

Thulcandra... malacandra, glundandra? From a web search, these look like names of planets in "Old Solar" from a film called The Silent Planet.
Thulcandra is Earth, (literally "Silent Planet"), Malacandra is Mars, Glundandra is Jupiter.

>>1127167
The fume has those unidentified symbols in it. Now they kindof look like weeping eyes with the pupil missing.

>Jurist's name
Oh lord we never asked it, and of course he's the kind of weird person who doesn't introduce themselves. Speaking of weird, his comments on the feather have been rather interesting haven't they? "Nothing must have been making the noise" indeed. You should ask if he knows anything specific about this, or if his statements have been more Pataphysical/prophetic than based on knowledge. Though maybe ask in a way that you won't be overheard by Simone.

>go down the well?
I guess. I take it we're not going to try retrieving those weapons. Makes sense, it's probably not worth alerting them to our intent.

whoops, seal beak back up.

onwards and downwards to the well

yes! minions for us to do all those tedious little tasks. or to get underfoot and cause trouble. good either way

but not to get ahead of ourselves. see what they want. they're probably trying to rescue their boss

Awwww they look like they need a hug

sweet, so what's their story, what do they want, and what do they eat or really need to survive. If they're planning on living here might as well make sure we can actually provide for them now before finding out we can't later.

>>1127109
Aw, dont get mad mel.
Theyre sorry, see?
Youre their queen now or something like that.

>>1127109
husbans

I mean, see if they're able to talk at all, or even just write in the dirt.

I forgot to add in the DC explanation that the multipliers in the check signify how much damage each 'hit' on the die does.
>>1126980
A check isn't about success or failure. In the case of financial, it's rolling to see how much that particular item costs. The presumption here being that you're haggling the prices. You only "fail" the check if you run out of money, in which case you just don't get to buy it.

>a piece of clothing is useful because if you are spotted doing a crime it can be shed after running away so you won't match the reported description.
Oh, that’s smart. If discarding is in the plan then probably best to go with the weirdo’s mystery bags of clothing. Let’s see what the dice say...

Lucky! No hits to your financial. So let’s say... You consider the mantis alien’s offer, but before you do you do a peak around at the nearby trash receptacles. Spying a similar trashbag as the ones in the booth you open it to indeed find a bunch of loose clothing. Seems like there was a bit of a mix up.
You’ve gained: an impractical jacket, some warm woollen socks (not shown) and a Secret Princess Tiara. Just say the magic phrase that you’ve set and it’ll repeat back whatever you recorded!. You’ll have to look up how to rest though if you actually want to use that feature.

>Okay. I say we get the telescoping shock rod, since it is guaranteed to incapacitate the target,
Even though, scouting seems to be the priority, having some sort of weapon seems prudent. As for he cost...

That’s three hits at a x2, so the shock rod is going to cost you six currencies putting your total at $11. You haggle the tozol down a bit from the listed price. They’re pretty obstinate about it and cede

Soon you ascend to your destination and pass through some nondescript doors into some equally nondescript hallways. It is both strikingly quiet and eerily echo-y here. While you’re allowed here, this area is notably not a place of public traffic. Any souls floating about are professionals of both the blue and white collar variety, focused on their tasks ahead as the move with purpose.
And now you encounter the problem of knowing where something is on a macro level but not on a personal one as you gauge which way you should go. The directory is of little help as it lists names and desk numbers. Any sign posts and guides have a similar presumption that you have a name and address at hand that you’ve already been instructed how to get to. I guess entrances to tier 3 utilities isn’t something written down for visitors to discover.

Every second you float here, wondering where to go, makes you more and more self conscious as this is the sort of place where loiterers practically glow. You should make a decision.

From the signs, your options are:
Aux. Admin #232 - #291 ->
<- Aux. Admin. #292 - #355
<- Comm. Coord. (local)
Dock Offices \/
Comm. Dish Acc. \/

Otherwise, I say you could...
-Spend a moment decipher all the information you have, read between the signs and make a more educated decision where to go DC 3, Lucidity
-Trail behind someone in coveralls and see if they head in the right direction. You’d be pretty noticeable, if people were paying attention. DC 5, Grace

well 'dock' and 'comm dish' sound technical, so V is probably the right track

>>1127117
Hmm, it doesn't matter at the moment, but if you get an item for free does that still count as purchasing it, when it comes to Second Hand Proficiency's cooldown?

>>1127118
Tail someone. That's a Grace check, we take those for Bites You opportunities.
