3. Lemurs are underrated.

B. I want Katie to join us, and that the song Bad Reputation by Joan Jett starts playing exactly three minutes after the dinner begins.

3C - Tigress and Redcap are both leashed on chains by you (Tigress by her manacle, Redcap by collar).

>>1133576
I realize I messed up.

The option for a special request I want is C, not B.

I don't know how I mixed those up.

>>1133558
The owner of this place certainly has a talent for entertaining guests! Not that it will earn her any mercy. By our honor as a luchadora, the firm hand of justice will fall upon her naughty hindquarters! After we're done appreciating this adorable waitress.

3C: Command Redcap and Katie against Jenna the lemur.. We could surely win this challenge on our own, but we should save our strength for our true quarry. And as long as we have minions to command, why not have some fun with them?

>>1133580
This is a perfect idea to spice up our match! Lead each of our pets by a chain leash during the fight. It would be a delightful look for them, and we could get creative with the chains against an agile foe...

A shower of rain from a cloudless sky heralded the marriage of Davin Heathwood and Millicent "Pawsy" Brazentail, cementing the alliance of the family of farmers with the trading clan and marking the beginning of a long era of peace and cooperation in the Appalachias.

Slime was tired. There was so much going on all the time, so many Slimes running around. It wanted out of this story.

It was time to steal the spaceship.

But this would be more than a one Slime job, it would take a team.

Slime's never done this before. What roles does Slime need filled for this heist?

First things first: You need to call a grumpy expert out of retirement. Maybe a master infiltrator that gave up their life of crime in the last movie, but gets dragged back in because the audience wanted a sequel with the same protagonist.

You can't just build one?

>You 21st century weirdos don't know anything about anything.
Bitch, try me! Why is Gale so big and produces no gale? I bet I figure out all your math on the first try!

>Assemble Slime heist team.
Oh, fun.

We should probably have Slime as the pick pocket; Slime as the master of seduction; that goofball, Slime, for distraction; Slime is a bit of a hardhead, but knows how to handle big gun, so thats who should be the muscle; the there is Slime, the pilot expert, for the quick getaway; and finally Slime the mechanic and hot-wiring specialist.

if the pulse shield works use it.
return fire on heavy

You traded some damage for a full meltdown. Good deal, relatively speaking, but you'll have to be on the defensive from here on out.

Okay, tell the Alien Machine to hack again, using a different type of algorithm to catch their evolving antivirus systems off-guard. If you can repeat this process then it'll be 3V1 and you can just get the Alien Machine to tank.

You turn attention to the Heavy Mech fully now, pulse shield up, reducing incoming fire. The Alien Mech can't seem to do the hacking thing at the moment, figures there's a catch.

You get only one shot at that.

They're already ready.

You're gonna need to adjust tactics.

missile barrage and charge with the shield, hold its focus while the others take it from the sides

Send the Alien Mech into melee with the heavy enemy.

This! But Brett's in his element so our brave hero will surely pull through! His clothes probably won't though. Kim and Dean see Brett's shredded clothes covered in Chickadee Red, mistaking it for blood in the moment!

>>1133513
They can probably fight a bit, but its clear he's gonna die as the monster isn't being hurt enough by his attacks. The girls can then whack the monster with something while its distracted - maybe a lit oil lamp, revealing a fear/weakness to fire? Or a heavy object, forcing the gals to hide and a tense scene of the Wendigo searching for them as they split up to hide.

>>1133513
Short comedic moment of the girl(s) seeing a shirtless, rugged Brett fighting the Wendigo and providing some humorous levity; 'If we all live through this, I'm gonna ride him till my legs stop working.'.

Dean gingerly sprints up the stairs
Kimberly peaks around the corner and sees Brett fighting a monster

Brett: "Aaaah! get offa me!"

Brett: get tombstoned!

director behind the scene: sternly tell Kimberly she needs to look more terrified.

Kimberly: Scream!

Event: the basement door slams shut on its own after the tombstone. Blood seeps through under the door. There is silence. Is Brett dead? (Obviously not, but we need to make the audience worry)

This is to set up another scare for when Dean returns with the gun

A) ..............................................

B) Pick one of them.

C) I can't decide.

D) I want both of you.

>>1133551
C) You can't expect me to pick between two beauties like that...it would be like having to choose between the sun and the moon.

Oof, this is a dilemma, if we go with Nissa, imprisoned knight might get angry with us and start holding a grudge. Going with imprisoned knight will get Nissa gossiping about us and Imprisoned knight. Hmmm.

Well, considering the imprisoned knight probably only wants to sleep with us to get us to help her with convincing the guild to get her rank back up...

B. Ask the imprisoned knight if you still assisted her with her request, would it be alright if you sleep with Nissa for tonight?

If imprisoned knight agrees, and leaves with the bread, quietly be like *sigh...* I really wanted that bread...

C) Can we make a compromise?

B) Heroine was here first. Nissa is acting like she has some claim, but they aren't dating, if that's what she wants she should have said so. If she wants to talk about it later then ok, but it would be rude to send the hero away after already agreeing to this.

Is he camping? maybe he couldn't afford the heating bill.

Check the bag for secrets.

Snoopy spooky ghost time

Snoop the bag, tent, and some of their boxes (maybe you can learn more about him from his choice of furniture/belongings).

Weird that he's choosing to sleep in a tent, by the window, instead of a bed like a normal person. Maybe he's some kind of fey, werewolf, or other species that really likes/needs the outdoors but had to get an apartment?

Is it's temporary until a proper bed is installed, or does he already have one in this apartment?

That or he's very committed to stalking/watching from the window to the point of sleeping next to it.

Make sure to check what the view from the window is, in case the cafe is visible, or any other buildings/things of note.

Ghost prank: re-pack their pictures back into one of the boxes. Harmless and might be interesting to see their reaction.

I know I've been suspicious of this person for a long time. But maybe he is just that, a little bit of an odd person. But as long as he is not hurting anybody, he is not dangerous. Maybe he is just getting ready for camping. But just in case, let's snoop around and see what he is up to.

Eh, so long as you won't get in trouble, you're big enough to handle breaking down a door.
Also tell her the papers say you need a Level One badge.

Ask if there are heavy tools anywhere. Otherwise its going to be difficult to break a security window

as long as you won't get in trouble for forcing your way in you guess you could give it a try.

>>1133547
Keep playing the confused innocent thrown into the deep end, sympathy is a great cover for suspicion. As for the window say you'll be ok, mention playing a sport to explain your level of physical fitness

You can probably use a chair from the mess hall, a mop, or something similarly sturdy / cudgel-like to try break the window without hurting yourself. Make sure its wooden, just in case there's electric measures in the window. Getting cloth wraps for your hands to not cut yourself is also a good idea.

Your physical strength is easy to justify - You swim a lot and are a naturally strong species.

Say you're comfortable (you hung out with the wrong crowd in your school days, an ex cheating on you, or similar punk youth you're embarassed about), though double-check that breaking a security window won't trigger some kind of inconvenient-to-you-both alarm.

Jokingly comment on her saying 'apply external force' instead of 'break it' to try ease the pressure a bit. You ain't judging her thesis.

Ask Sine why he's letting this little bundle of aggression giving him orders.
Go on a tangent about how he's clearly the sharpest of the two.

>>1113424
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.

If we knew a way to turn that narrative around...

Try asking the television for white light. Directly. These aliens don't seem very smart so they might have thought your monosyllabic greeting meant you can't talk.

...wait why the heck was it speaking a different language from the aliens? The consonants were a totally different set.

If you can't get through to it, then I say get some food and drink in you while it's easily available (even though it's bad food) then grab whatever seems useful and leave the room. Which wouldn't be much, by the looks of things. If the bowls are made of a hard material you could take one for a bashing tool.

>>1133526
Start drawing or scratching tally lines representing prime numbers in order to demonstrate intelligence

The aliens seemed to know you needed white light earlier while you were caged. The fact they don't now is either an intentional act, or ignorance if you were passed to a third party (like say an entertainment business instead of alien researchers).

Any book or drawing materials around? If not, you'll have to ask for something equivalent to crayons other writing implements. Try to mime drawing motions with your hands at the camera. Or find something you can finger paint with and mimic drawing/painting/writing.

Once we get drawing material, you can draw a sequence of events depicting what will happen if you don't get white light in a non-ambiguous fashion as possible.

Panel one: A picture of you under a yellow light, and you under a white light. Possibly add multiple colors dots and make it clear which colors are being referred to.

Pnael two: The passage of time, marked by a sun or moon / day night cycle, and a simple number tally (with fingers or such)

Panel three: Your transformation under the yellow light, but remaining the same under a white light. Mark a preference for the 'not transform' part.

As for other communication, drawing an 'alphabet' of some kind would be useful, or simple numbering system. Other modes of communication could be universal physics constants, like the atomic composition of water and its temperature properties (freezing point, boiling point).

Do you lose your intelligence if you become a quadrapedal 'monster' or retain it? How does your life cycle work anyway?

Oooh! Merman could help!

Contemplate why Grem wants shiny axe / wealth. Why are shiny things good? They are heavy, too soft to cut with and Gnolls/other Kobolds will want to beat you up for them. How does the shiny enrich Grem?

Don't lift the axe, drag the axe.

Drag it aaaaaall the back to the tree fellow. Use your pain in your favour. Channel all the anger at those mean gnolls and your crushed dreams.

Let the anger fuel you into doing what must be done.
One day you will be a mighty wizard, and turn them into tasty moss. And it all begins with dragging this axe.

>>1133297
Grem! The shiny axe is a perfect gift!
And the merman has big muscles so will be able to pick it up easy!

Porala gathers whatever the elves say they need to start a fire.
It'll have to be a quick fire, air down here's pretty cold.

Cuddle up ladies. Snuggle close. Contact shares warmth.

>>1133439
Yep.
She can find what they need. Maybe even something edible.

>>1133438
Build a fire if she knows how, if not find soft plant material to make a layer between the elves and the stone floor, hang clothes to dry.

Taping into the arcane? What does that means? She can do magic or is like a poisoning?

Ooh, does Porala know how to create a bubble around a small area?
If she does, she could cast one around the elves and shelter them a bit from the cold air.

Aww heck, you can't lose a brother. That is like rule 1 of sneaking away.

Who saw him last? Was this the highest room? Did he go higher? Were his legs too short to go up all the steps?

Vitka found a staircase hidden behind some shelves. Luckily he was small enough to squeeze behind the shelves.

The place is messy, but among the mess, he finds a weird thing up there that catches his eye. Something with animal bones and beads tied up in string and has a little bit of oil(?) on it. Might get a splinter from the sharp bones if he isn’t careful…

>>1133487

oh man, he's gonna lick ALL the brittle-chips then jump out at us from behind something when we least expect it, isn't he?

He found the secret entrance to the slave pit

Well, Del, time to earn the respect of your little siblings!

Lead by example and go investigate where Vikta went.
Take Enko with you, he is the King Priest, after all, and also blind. That means he is impervious to seeing anything spooky! :D

the only thing better than having one bisexual sandwich is having two. get the kols in there. :>

There is still another test the Changelings ought to undergo - the cookie test. Can they keep themselves from having glamour-breaking religious experiences from the perfection of baking art?

And likewise, equipping them with the same cookies (and resisting their effects) as a 'peace offering' to the Court will help keep scrutiny off of them (by having the people scrutinizing them, such as the Royals, having to excuse themselves).

The alternative is keeping the pastries as the mice's secret weapon - only Kasey seems to have sampled them.

Hm, if the Changelings plan and are able to hold their disguises for a whole year, then there is a different thing that could unmask them - namely the original mice trio's presesnce/activities being reported outside of the barge, or being scryed (assuming it doesn't scry the doppelgangers). The trio might have to go incognito for a year, or assume the role of 'Changelings' themselves as an excuse for their Barge absence.

Gotta make sure that Kasey is aware of the meeting with the prudish angel. They're the agent who gave the prophecy and biggest threat to the plan if they realize something is off (like Kasey not remembering their meeting, her own angelic demand...).

“So, what's your guess? Am I Casey? Or am I Kasey?” The mouse sits up and arches her back, giving Gabe a good look at her in all her naked glory.

The sender makes a big show of inspecting his partner: squinting at her breasts, rubbing his thumb over her mana-brand, grabbing her hips and giving an experimental squeeze.

“Hmmmmm.” Gabe wrinkles up his nose in mock-seriousness, as though assessing a fine gem through a jeweler’s loop. C/Kasey winks back at him, holding her pose like one of the many she left in Argus’s collection.

Gabe’s hand reaches behind her butt to shuffle her closer. As she does, a sneaky digit slips in under her tail and presses past the tight rim of her ass.

“Ahh~!” She shivers and moans as his finger curls inside.

“Found ya.” Gabe says with a smirk.

“Cheater.” She shoots back. Unwilling to completely admit defeat, Casey explains, “I could still be a changeling, you know. That proves nothing.”

“Mmm-hmm?” Gabe hums knowingly. He stirs his finger around in a tiny circle, testing the elasticity and warmth of her tail-hole. In a conversational tone, he continues, “I beg to differ. You let me right in and relaxed, but are still toned and tight. That’s the butt of someone who doesn’t just like anal: they’ve been trained for it. Someone who’s been taking hot werewolf cock up the ass all month~. Just like me…”

Well, since you've got your slobber all over it, might as well make a bone broth from the remains.

Find a way to sabotage the remaining weave in the bones. Someone will recycle them into greater undead abominations, but if you can poison the magic animating it, you might be able to do something conniving.

... The world has changed, hero. But you are correct in the fact that I cannot go back. The only way is forward, and in that regard I can make things better.

(also, ten bucks says this guy is Bobbie's father)

>>1133518
More likely her brother. We've seen her father before. https://questden.org/kusaba/questarch/res/1107808.html#1114062
and both Actus and Bobbie were using words such "our father" during this conversation.

B) That is not right. Yes The world has changed long ago, but the world is changing again, powers are shifting, public opinion their kingdoms and guilds is changing, and Bobbie has changed. And Bobbie isn't recreating a family and old memories, she's creating new memories and a new family within her people.

And what about Actus' family? He mentioned having a wife, so why is he risking throwing his and his own new family's life away for treason trying to save Bobbie? Isn't he trying to do the same thing he's accusing Bobbie of recreating those memories by trying to save her when he already has a new family he's created out of love? It's pretty much why Bobbie can't go back, she loves her people.

Tell him that you are not alone and that you always have us on your side.

Does she know you were dreading having to manage her insipid scheme? That's about the only thing related to Silver which you totally didn't act on, while some random monster conveniently removed your loose end's entire hand.

Does she know it's you who uh... totally didn't do any of that stuff?

Otherwise you've been nothing but genuine to her. Does she not believe your Martinets have been fused to the wall? That's what you wanted her help with, right? Does she think you're hiding the fact that the toilers are revolting, due to overzealous labor extraction on part of the mongers? Because I think she can see that from all the collapsed mines.

I can’t imagine she does.

It’s ridiculous to even consider. How would she even know?
………
Unless… could she already have spies among the mercenaries? No, that’s silly. I only just learned of their location how would she have embedded a spy? Regardless, it’s not even been an hour since I switched my eye from the toiler to the valkin. Even if Silver had managed to infiltrate their ranks to learn what happened to her patsy and assuming the spy would be aware of why she would matter at all there hasn’t been enough time for her to receive that information. It’s conceivable through magic but again I can only conclude ‘no’. I certainly don’t watch through her eye very often but I’ve never seen even a hint that she’s dabbled in such heresy with her own hands or through an intermediary. It would be too big a weakness if Steel learned of it and wanted to depose her. Maybe-

Im torn over you.
I admire your abandoned goal to tear this place down, i even admire just aiming to gain your own freedom.
But, im not happy about poor asher.
That said, theres more than you to blame for how it went.

There is something ive noticed were significantly better than you at.
Maybe its because were not trying to keep so many plates spinning, but we havent missed any words like you do when lip reading through your eyes.

Oh, and your faith in numbers over technology is, unfortunately, as naive as your dream of tearing down the mountain.
Weapons are called force multipliers for a reason.
And it gives asymettrical warfare a distinct advantage.
The tip of their spear will be small enough to slip into places larger forces would falter and be murderously sharp, so to speak.
I dont say this to cause you undue distress. Well.
Maybe a little, because im still grumpy about asher, but not much.

In the same way your dream of tearing down the mountain was tempered by experience into something more acheivable...
Right now, you are as inexperienced in facing weapons like these as younger self was the realities of life in your mountain.
And, its worth remembering, technology develops with the pace of a rockslide, especially under the motivation of war.
Little bits at first, a percievable quicker slide of larger things... then before you can react a rumble and youre crushed.
Well, worth considering, eh?

No dice. Been trying to convince this fella to change his mind about his deeds and self all morning.
So far, he is deciding whether his stance should be "I don't care" and "Maybe I should start hating that Asher girl since you won't shut up about her."

C'est la mort, or whatever it is they say.

So!
I suppose we should discuss strategy with Silver on what to do while we wait for the Preceptors to gather.
Also, probably check back on what Steel and Haddik are doing right now, if we have the time.

D'awww! You almost said it.
Let's hope she feels the same way.

Gatezi strides ahead and opens the gate to the lift for her master and takes position next to the controls. Silver follows them inside, turns, and wait. The gate is left wide open of course. The lift can’t move until I join them and close it.

A childish impulse to slam it shut passes through me before my hand can twitch. My outburst didn't pluck at a single nerve in her heart. The consequence of avoiding her is that my emotional calluses have deteriorated. I'll need to sharpen my wits quickly to not get caught completely in her wake.

I take a moment to compose myself before joining them. My annoyance is kept to trying to crush the banister in my fist instead starting an argument I won't win.

>Also, probably check back on what Steel and Haddik are doing right now, if we have the time.
It’s barely been a few minutes since I last checked. I doubt much has changed.

>Maybe its because we’re not trying to keep so many plates spinning, but we haven’t missed any words like you do when lip reading through your eyes.
In the decades I’ve been cursed with you critters and the thousands of shapes you’ve taken barely a dozen of you have actually proven capable of reading. I doubt lips are easier than letters. No, I will not follow you down another path of nonsense today. Too much is happening.

>Oh, and your faith in numbers over technology is, unfortunately, as naive as your dream of tearing down the mountain.
No faith is necessary to know that when the blood is finished being shed the Preceptors will still be standing. The flaws of my brethren are numerous and disgusting. Self-preservation, however, is their greatest skill.

On Branu's Kiss, apparently it is! A type of semi-domesticated mollusc can be "milked" for the relevant type of smart fluid, and reprogramming it with simple pock-and-pebble designs turns out to be easier than preparing iron gall ink and parchment, once you know the trick. Also has the key advantage of being possible at all while submerged in water.

Oh dear. Natalina had hoped she might be able to provide good news to help repair first impressions, but a place-you-wish-to-go-which-is-not isn't the best result. She'll do her best to pass on what she can, though perhaps some care is needed in overstating the dangers inherent in an un-space, if Zalkezia failed to appreciate the risks associated with less-esoteric vacuum. "Well, the good news is that I think I can read this map, but the bad is that if our entire world and all of us are ink on the page, this is pointing at a hole or tear in the paper or synth that making it up.

A strange sensation wells up within Cricket Moon, the taste of bile at the back of her throat. Her first inclination is that of course the heroes would want to save everyone, not just those most convenient to relocate. A fools errand would put them at risk of losing the ship and/or getting overrun. She doesn't even realize what she's feeling is guilt at the thought of trying to deceive the others.

"The Dramath are the key to this actually working. Having a translation device would be smart. If you worry about our stomach for such dealings, you yourself could parlay. We'll see what they agree to and move on from there."

I'm presuming we've had time for at least the first two recover rolls- that'd be 2d6+12 for recovering Cricket's pools.

Also, tier 4 stuff:

Dark Matter Shell (5 Intellect points).
For the next minute, you cover yourself with a shell of dark matter. Your appearance becomes a dark silhouette, and you gain an asset to sneaking tasks and gain +1 to your Armor. The dark matter shell works seamlessly with your desires, and if you apply a level of Effort to any physical task while the shell persists, you can apply an additional free level of Effort to that same task. Action to initiate.

Tacito quietly suggests this is a delicate subject, unsuitable for children. Once Devyn and Zalkezia are out of earshot...
"Kinslaying is a sin. Everyone knows this. Even when there was no other way, it leaves a mark, a stink, on the perpetrator, that won't wash off. As part of healing the social and spiritual wounds of the Unbroken Rushes Uprising two and a half centuries ago, the royal line of Seshar adopted an unusually broad definition of 'kin,' and almost entirely eliminated death, mutilation, or enslavement as valid judicial outcomes. For this, and a broader philosophy of merciful governance of which it's the keystone, they're more beloved by their people than any ruler of the Steadfast, though practical control outside the capital city of Nebalich is shaky at best.
"But, that still leaves the problem of what to do with the sort of people who any other sovereign would have put to death, yet who haven't been caught red-handed in an outright attempt at regicide or otherwise stumbled into the precise narrow definition of 'treason or war' that permits lethal violence to be done to them. There are monsters who hollow people out and wear their skin as a disguise - everyone knows this - and then there are people who only make you wish it was that simple. Most get recruited by the Yellow Serpent Society. Misfits too principled to take up crime as a profession, chronic fuckups, and scum too profoundly corrupt to be worth the effort of dominating, get banished to Branu's Kiss. No blood on the king's hands, that way.

Funny story; Reiko's been listening in on everyone since the ship's comms are still in okay condition. See, it's mostly static noise due to the damage to the comms, but... when someone puts emotion into their words, the comms... understand? And translate as best they can. Or something.

Something about that rant twists a lump in Reiko's chest.

The Youngmason parties were packed with people like that. Merchants who looked at the chains on their slaves more fondly than the glint of gold. Branch family members who obviously looked at the family heads like obstacles to be disposed of, no matter how many gifts or benefits they were bribed with. Nobles who openly did anything but noble when it came to the common servants around them, pretended to be kings of courtesy when it came to fellow aristocrats, and somehow blended the two diametrically opposing viewpoints into one twisted outlook. When they made someone distressed, they always made it everyone else's fault.

But the Youngmason heads? The thing is, they didn't feel like that to Reiko. Bitter and aloof towards deviants like her, but otherwise respectful and understanding towards the staff and potential clients. All their scorn had a reason. All that generosity put them above the rest of the decadence.
So why did they always show tolerance, even joy, towards these leeches, these threats to their rule, even in private? They were masters of an entire corporate domain, they had to know what flavors of evil the world had offered them... right?
Maybe Reiko will never understand it.

Catching it is a bad idea. It would seem like you're helping her escape (by holding her weight) and make the Revenants (or the King) immediately react to an escape attempt. It's entirely possible that's exactly what she's hoping for - getting you into trouble on purpose out of some slight/spote, or coercing/blackmailing you into helping her / being assigned a 'rescuer' role.

On the other hand, getting smacked in the face by a weight isn't going to be pleasant (unless you want an excuse to get medical assistance).

So probably yell 'look out!' and dodge, preferably pulling Lissel out of the way. Or try to block/misdirect the weight with your hands/cloaks without catching it, so it falls to the ground. Ideally you could turn your back to it so the damage is minimal, but your back is too injured for that.

Then ask what you did to piss her off / cause such a violent response.

Take the direct hit and show her that you are made of sturdier stuff.

There's not much you can do with your back the way it is. You might hope to fall backwards and topple Lisel out of the way like a bowling pin, and trying to land in the least painful way possible.

I pray you're already in the process of getting out of the way.

Your cloak is presumably stretchy and durable. Shield yourself with it, use it to absorb the majority of the weights impact or bounce/redirect/deflect it away like a slingshot (a blunt object is unlikely to tear a stretchy fabric). Watch your feet when it lands though!
