She must be completely disarmed. She will be allowed to live. More importantly, consume a cake.

Call Issabella in to sit with us. She can join the party too.

>Updating.

The next time you see Issabella poke her head through the doorway, you wave at her to come in. Of course, since you wouldn't have done that without a place for her to sit, there's a third chair at the table by the time she arrives.

"So, let's get down to business."

You pause to select the cake that you deem the daintiest, and bite off the smallest piece of the corner that can be detected. You chew. Penelope and Issabella wait.

"We can be friends. You can stay here. But I don't want to fight anymore, so you can't have weapons or summon more soldiers."

Penelope is rooted to her chair, silent. Issabella breaks the silence. "And you won't hurt Penelope or me?"

"I promise."

You extend your hand. Issabella tentatively takes it and you shake. You offer your hand to Penelope next, and say "It's up to you. Is this going to work out?" This seems to push her over the edge. She puts out her hand and brushes it against yours, looking at the floor. You grab it and give it a pump.

"Perfect! I'm so glad we could work this out."

You can here the sound of your castle expanding.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes.

>>15008627
Imagine some butlers and entertainment. Allow castle to proceed.

>Updating.

You quickly imagine a choir of frogs. They harmonize beautifully, but they are also quite loud. Their music nearly covers up the sounds of Penelope's outer wall collapsing as your castle inches forward.

Next, you relieve Issabella of her serving duties, replacing her with a bland, forgettable, human shaped servant in a suit.

Finally, you have a nice tea party, full of politeness, conversation, and treats. Your two new "friends" are very nearly distracted from their new situation. The unstated meaning of the party is quite clear, though.

It is almost night time.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with the first tie breaker after 10 minutes.

>>15008765
Wring your hands. Make sure a grand sized portrait of Titania fills the room. Everyone *must* now retire to their quarters, which have four poster beds. Sleep.

>Updating.

>Updating.

You yawn.

"Well, we must do this again soon, but I think it's time for everyone to go to bed, don't you?"

You don't call attention to your new portrait, but it's bigger than the stairs that lead to the bedrooms, and its eyes look down on everyone who enters the room.

You go home. Penelope's outer wall is mostly absorbed into yours, or knocked over.

You have a nice sleep and a relaxing breakfast.

Looking outside of your window and stretching, you immediately notice two things. First, your walls have expanded in the night to completely surround Penelope's keep. It's now a little island with no easy way in or out.

Second, the world is smaller.

Your world is not a reliable place. You're used to the regions outside of your castle changing from day to day. You're used to some of the regions not making the slightest bit of sense. But you've never been worried about running out of world. Now, this is a distinct danger. If you look far enough, the ground seems to bend away from you and disappear below.

You have a hard time looking at whatever is beyond this artificially close horizon.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with the first tie breaker after 10 minutes.

>>15008943
>Edit: I'm not actually updating anymore, it's voting time. Not sure how that got there.

The easiest thing to do would be to get closer. Our chosen form of transport is a bicycle with propellers.
A tandem bicycle of course, because our friends will definitely want to come with us.

>Updating.

You walk to Penelope's castle, summon a couple of ladders to get over the wall, summon a three seated, winged bicycle with propellers instead of wheels (aimed backwards, or course, otherwise it wouldn't work), and knock.

"Hello! I was thinking of going on a little ride! Would you like to join me?"

They join you. King John rides in the basket. You ring the bell when you feel like it.

You only have to travel about a mile before you reach the edge. There's a pretty, but poorly maintained park here, cut nearly down the middle, with one half completely missing. Beyond it, there is a featureless light gray expanse, like clouds on a rainy day.

You launch yourself past the border slightly, angled so you will coast back if anything goes wrong. You immediately find yourself having to concentrate much harder to keep King John, and more importantly, your bicycle, solid. Gravity, unfortunately, is just as reliable here. You turn back, a little bit more suddenly than you had intended. You pilot the bike over the park, breathing a sigh of relief.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with the first tie breaker after 10 minutes.

>>15009178
See if our dear companions have any input

Explore the park with our new friends.

>Updating.

You steer the bicycle down to the ground, bringing it to a halt on the soft grass.

"Well, this isn't good. Any ideas?"

Issabella gets down on the ground, lying on her stomach and poking her head over the edge. Penelope hangs back.

"I don't see anything! Well there's dirt. And... it seems it doesn't go down very far before there's more fog. We're not standing on very much at all."

She thinks about what this means, and then immediately stands up and takes several careful steps back.

You hear and feel a rumble behind you. You turn to look. Several blocks away, you can see a figure running down the street. Where it goes, more of the fog beyond the edge of the park appears.

If it keeps moving, you'll be cut off.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with the first tie breaker after 10 minutes.

Tell it to stop. Have King John stop it with his tongue if the figure doesn't oblige.

We have a flying bicycle. Best thing would be to go over the top and have us on the right side of the fog

>Updating.

"I command you to halt!"

Your voice echoes off of the houses, sounding much louder than you had expected.

The figure stops, turns to stare directly at you, grabs a large chunk of the street, and eats it.

Then it charges back down the street, traveling perpendicular to you, leaving a trail of grey nothingness wherever it goes.

Well, you tried. Time for King John to earn his continued existence. You gather everyone up and go in for a strafing run.

As you get in range, you see that the figure is a girl with torn clothes, dirty hair, and a blank expression. Her arms and legs vary in exact length from second to second. You're able to intercept her from a safe distance, shouting "FIRE" at King John.

King John's tongue shoots out of his mouth and wraps around the girl's neck.

The girl's hands seize King John's tongue, and pull.

You react quickly, summoning a cloud of pillows for yourself and passengers to land on, your bike twisted beyond immediate usefulness. You ignore the bike, and it fades away.

The girl changes direction to charge straight at you. Her mouth opens wider than it should be able to. The fog behind her contains a horde of tiny shapes.

Imagine a wall of the thickest, hardest, densest stuff you can think of. Imagine it right in front of the girl. Have her slam straight into it.

Imagine a net covered in fishing hooks in front of her.

Ask Penelope if she's afraid. If she says she is, imagine her a sword and shield.

And re-imagine the troll.

A net won't stop her, she's clearly at ramming speed. Wall's better.

>>15009630
This thing eats streets. Perhaps a lava pit would work better. Either way, I dislike that we aren't going to fight on our own chosen field.

At least make it a wall with arms and legs, or she'll just walk around it or jump over it.

Maybe a tripwire?

Are we trying to kill it or capture it? A lava pit would work, but those tend to be a bit lethal.

Imagination is limited resource in stressful situations. In the past we've gone with a troll to block which can also hit back, so we don't have resources spent on an unversatile wall.

I'm in favor of capturing it. A resource killed is a resource wasted. We want to get more powerful, no? If it's a beast, it can be tamed, and if it's a human, well, same thing really.

Hopefully not alive. To be given sentience when your purpose is to be eaten is cruel, even for Lawful Evil.

After whatever this is is taken care of, I suggest we arm and train Issabella and Penelope. Just because they can't imagine doesn't mean they can't be useful. Penelope clearly can do sword/shield and maybe Issabella can be trained with a bow/arrow.

You forget that we're the one imagining the weapons. If she ever turns against us, we can just dissapear them.

As to robots, I'd say we ask them what kind of weapons they're comfortable with. Big mechs are fun for little boys, but little girls might prefer something else...

Am I late to the party? uguu~

The girl runs straight towards you. Behind her, the horde of small, blobby creatures behind her comes into full view.

The street buckles, cracks, and columns of rock candy finally break free and burst forth. They form a wall between you and the horde. The girl skids to a halt just in time to avoid being uppercutted by a wall.

"Penelope, this might seem strange, but here's your sword back. I think you like me more than her, don't you? Also, if we fail, we're probably all dead. Do a good job."

You brace yourselves. Except for King John. He's fine.

Is it ok if the wall of candy is my favorite character

>>15010004

Well, I somehow doubt it'll work, but try grappling the girl.

If/when that fails, the main purpose of the wall should be to split up the bobbly creatures so we can take on a more manageable number at a time. Then John starts gobbling them up one at a time as they get closer, hopefully thinning them out enough for the girls to take out what's left through attacking/disbelieving/whatever.

Can we somehow re-instate Penelope's and Isabella's power to imagine things? If so, put all our willpower into believing they can help us.

We'll need them.

This looks bleak.
King john should be able to hit the blob directly above. Candy wall can grapple the blobs adjacent which should hinder the Running Girl as well.
Not sure where to send Penelope.

>Moving into hexes in melee range of an enemy costs double.

In case anyone missed it, it looks like the wall is a giant minefield of slowness that hits basically everything on the map.

>>15010040

I'm working under the assumption that we all have the relatively same amount of imagination/willpower, so if the girl has this many bobby things, they must be individually quite weak.

Unfortunately, we don't have much in the way of AoE attacks that I can think of...

>>15010056
This girl might have more as she's cannibalizing the imagined world around her to fuel her minions.

>>15010056
I guess then they should stay together in a central position, Penelope and King John, to limit swarming.

>girls and john move left a bit. John tries snapping up the closest dust mote.
>wall tries to grapple girl

Perchance we could use about 3 willpower to see if we can knock out a blob for this turn, since we can't attack.

>>15010076

>Penelope defends,readying herself for battle
>Titania invest willpoints to try extending the wall, making it longer and giving it more hands
>Issabella shouts encouraging words

>>15010085

We should use that willpower to strengthen the wall. It's smack dab in the middle of their horde and it's what's going to keep them from overrunning us. I say invest in making it stronger and bigger, hopefully to occupy more motes at a time.

>>15010076
You say to grapple the girl, but if we grapple the blobs on either side we essentially have a longer wall.

>>15010092
Do you think it will have difficulty grappling the tiny things?

>>15010098

It's a wall. It just needs to keep them occupied while we take out the other half on the other side. Even if it somehow can't grapple with great accuracy, making it bigger forces them to waste more time going around it or attacking it.

The wall stretches from one end of the street to another, though it's made of columns and varies in height.

>It's in one hex because that's how tokens work. It slows everything within five hexes.

>>15010108
Alternatively, we could give it damage power, so it can actually kill some.

>Updating.

You run to the left with Issabella, to reduce the number of motes that can reach you at once.

When you look back, Penelope is in a defensive position, King John has a mote's legs dangling out of his mouth, and the girl is doing her best to punch her way out of a jail made of columns of rock candy.

>Update continues.

The girl sends shards of rock candy flying everywhere, but the prison holds. Columns of rock candy shoot up and down happily, sending the motes scampering back and forth. Even when they disappear beneath the street, they leave gaping holes for the motes to climb across.


>Vote ends in 20 minutes, or with the first tie breaker after 20 minutes.
>Vote for other people's posts if possible.

It seems the blobs can only move one space at a time so King John could move back after attacking and avoid being attacked for a turn.
Candy grapples Girl to prevent further damage.
Willpower to give King John a second attack, Penelope braces?

>Willpower to give King John a second attack
>I'm going to say you can do this for the power of the attack you want. So, if you spend 5 Willpower, John will have a power 10 attack (his starting one) and a power 5 attack. No limit on how much you want to spend.

>>15010243
This. We should destroy as many of those things as possible.

Wall grapples Enemy Girl + a blob on the right side. Goal is to delay the right side.
King John moves and attacks the blob nearest Enemy Girl from the leftmost possible position. Goal: Disengage to the left, separate blob from Enemy Girl
Penelope attacks the blob sticking out on its own. Goal: Deal damage to the enemy while it's safe.
Issabella and Titania move up to Penelope and John. Goal: Stay near forces that can defend.

Disbelieve Enemy Girl, -4. Need that wall to keep her pinned until we've cleared out the blobs close to her.

I get the impression that A high attack power wouldn't be necessary for these, so 5 may be sufficient.
Now that I consider it, if the walls second grapple goes to the blob to the right of the token, and given KJ two attacks, he wouldn't need to step back.

Imma mathhammer some shit.

King John one shotted the front mote. He does five damage, so it has five power at most. He'll do that again assuming he hits, so we might not even have to spend the full 10 will to take out 2 motes per turn with him.

>>15010262
>>15010263
The greatest threat here is Enemy Girl.
I wish Issabella or Titania had a weapon, though.

>>15010330
What is the +5? Two attacks?

>>15010326
I've never seen a girl eat entire Streets before.
That has to be at least somewhat disbelievable.
I mean, why isn't she either A. pooping entire streets, or B. growing massive? Something's wrong here.

I expect we'll need to ungrapple the girl to grapple two of the right-hand blobs at some point in time. Hopefully said girl's stupid enough to run away from them.

>Updating

>That was me.

>>15010342
>>15010262
Yes, it's a second attack. Just one for now to see if it can kill a blob in one hit. 5 willpower is a lot to spend on a trashmob, though.

>>15010353
What combination of events did we agree upon?
Guess we'll find out.

>>15010356
We could do it 8 times, which should last us. Sometimes we have to use willpower to save a creature, but we should be fine if we save maybe 10 for that.

>Guess we'll find out.
>This is why I want plans in one post and votes in support of those posts, rather than a text file full of individual options with tally marks next to them (what I just did to have any hope of getting the /tg/ hivemind right) and a vague hope that the result makes any sense.

You run up behind King John with Issabella while he punches the closest mote with his tongue, sending it crashing into the mote behind it. The first mote turns into a thick liquid as it collides, running down the front of the second one, which seems to be ok.

>Willpower: 35/40

The girl climbs out of the cage, only to find herself dropped to the ground and covered by a new group of crystals. Next to her, on your right, one of the motes finds itself having similar difficulties.

Penelope readies her sword, expecting the motes to reach her at any moment.

>Update continues.

The motes that aren't completely trapped continue their slow, awkward journey, tripping over the confusing landscape and each other. The girl flails her arms, stretching them outside of the cage as the walls close in on her.

The closest motes punch and kick at King Jack. After a few shots bounce off of his hide harmlessly, he shifts position suddenly, throwing them off.

>Vote ends in 20 minutes, or with the first tie breaker after 20 minutes.

>>15010453
King "Jack", who has apparently been renamed, takes a step back and hits the two blobs in front of him - +5 willpower spent.
Penelope moves left and hits the blob adjacent.
Titania steps aside to give King Jack a spot to retreat.
Issabella does SOMETHING and stops being completely freakin' useless. Swear to god I'm going to use her to meatshield if she can't do something.
Wall blocks Enemy Girl, and protects Penelope.

>who has apparently been renamed,
>Yeah, disregard that. No idea how I did that.

>>15010505
Looks good but a thought: It seems the willpower last time wasn't enough. Maybe we need more, or a different use?

>Leave the wall behind to stall, unimagine King John, to restore some points, he can always be bought back.
>get the hell out of here.

>>15010545
I noticed that two blobs colliding heals one of the blobs.
Perhaps there can be less collisions this time?

>Updating.

The wall is spouting crystals out of its crystals at an absurd rate. The girl and the closest mote to her are completely stuck.

King John headbutts the closest mote, sending it flying into the wall, where it breaks apart. He steps back to guard you, then attacks the next closest mote with his tongue, barely missing.

Penelope cleaves through her chosen mote. It collapses into a puddle.

>Update continues.

>>15010637
Yeah, this second attack is not powerful enough.

A mote, climbing over a medium sized crystal formation, dives down on King John. He leaps out of the way and croaks at it.

The field of crystals is expanding, but they politely retreat under the ground if you or your friends need to move. The motes aren't so lucky.

>Vote ends in 20 minutes, or with the first tie breaker after 20 minutes.

>>15010637
>Willpower: 30/40

>>15010658
They're power 2 at most. Penelope took one out single handedly and she only does 2 damage.

>>15010695
Right. I think the second one is doing half of king johns usual damage (3). 10 power does 3, 5 power does maybe 1.5?
Therefore I surmise that 7 will would get us over 2.

>>15010673

>John takes out the two left-most motes
>Penelope rushes past to enemy girl and points sword to neck, demanding she yield
or
>Penelope rushes past and attacks enemy girl

take your pick

>>15010719

I'd go with sword to the neck. Granted last time we tried getting someone to yield mid-battle she pulled some switcharoo trick thing, but even so the other motes are too far away to attack her if the battle doesn't end there and then

>>15010673
Wall pins girl and far left blob
John back and left 1, attacks blob in range
Penelope forward and left 1, attacks blob above.
Issa and Titania swap places. We can probably move South to fight the advancing blob after finishing off these 4, but I'm worried about getting Penelope out of there in time.

Issabella have you figured out SOMETHING you can do yet?

>>15010719
We could clear out most of that side first, we'd be secure. +7 will to see if the things will dies this time

>>15010745
I think she's a secondary objective more than a unit, really.

>>15010743
>>15010719
She can't move that far.

>>15010716
7 willpower for a trashmob is a bit much. Better just leave it alone for now.
Is there any way to use Willpower to make Issabella be less of a useless piece of shit?

>>15010748

We can do that if we're sure the motes won't start gathering around the girl, protecting her. Right now she's pretty vulnerable and we're not sure how long that'll last.

Maybe send Issabella south a bit as bait, so the motes will chase her instead of thinking to go back to their master?

>>15010745
It seems we have the same thing in mind. Do you have an idea on using willpower here?

>>15010767
>>15010769
>>15010765

Can we use Issabella as a distraction for the eastern Motes, and use willpower to somehow make the motes sure to go after her?

>>15010748
I disagree with this because the wall isn't slowing anything down by blocking that blob, except that one blob.

>>15010765
Any chance we can sacrifice her to Khorne?

Blood for the Blood God.

The betrayal of her friend would bind Penelope to us forever, and we might move one step closer to ascension to Daemonhood. Win win situation.

Stop posting on 4chan, Issabella, you're meant to be distracting motes.

King John hops back, dragging the mote with him across the rough crystals. By the time he's finished, there's very little left.

Penelope cleaves through another mote, sending splatters everywhere.

Just as the girl starts to break through the wall, more columns arrange themselves around her. The left-most mote is trapped as well.

>Update continues.

Your main group is safe for the moment.

The motes stumbling around in the background start to punch awkwardly at the crystals surrounding them, but they don't seem to be getting anywhere.

The wall should keep holding the girl. The last thing we need is for her to be free and somehow pull a switch or something, making us go against the other half of the motes.

>>15011090
I'm honestly not sure what the girl's combat capabilities are and I'd rather not find out if at all possible.

>>15011090
This is a good point. I would change my plan based on this, so that the candy follows the pink suggestion.

>Updating.

King John tramples a mote, and Penelope impales hers on her sword, causing it to lose cohesion.

You and Issabella follow.
>Not shown until next map goes up.

The girl and the close mote throw themselves futilely against the walls of their rapidly changing cage.

>Update continues.

The motes are starting to rush to their commander's aid now, but they can't seem to get the wall down.

>Vote ends in 20 minutes, or with the first tie breaker after 20 minutes.

>>15011205
I would love to say gang the girl... but god only knows what she can do if we get too close. I mean, this bitch eats freakin streets like they were cake. I guess have the wall and Penelope attack her (let P use as much of her movement as possible to make her avoid being in the range of the motes), while Isabella baits the motes.

>>15011205
I've marked a dark green line with a ?. Can Titania move that far, or are those dark red squares still threatened with the motes gone?

In any case, zerg rush!!1. Wall should keep restraining the girl and the mote immediately south to prevent it from eating Issabella.

Spend willpower as thus: +3 on each of John and Pen's attacks, Disbelieve the girl -4 on defense.
If girls can't be disbelieved, just +5 on each attack.

>>15011240
I forgot to greentext my own post in approval.

>>15011240
>>15011256
Dude has it about right
King John is our conduit for having multiple attacks through willpower. If we amp him up +10 to just knock her silly, and with Penelope there to smack we can force her to yield. Not that she will, she's going to be eaten, but whatever. Voting this plan with amp'd King John

>>15011251
I'd probably suggest we stop imagining enough stuff (NOT THE WALL) to launch a firework cannon at her. Either that, or have King John tongue wrap her feet, and trip her onto a rising spike of Rock Candy, spending Willpower as appropriate to make it happen.
>MFW I'm coming up with a plan to impale a little girl.

>>15011256
I fail so hard. Lemme update that shit.

Wall blocks Girl and the mote south to stop it eating Issa.
Prince John, Penelope, and Issa move into position into attack. I know you didn't give Issa an attack, but she can at least stare harsly.

I -believe- (wink) that Enemy Girl should be exhausted from her fighting the wall for so long, and as such, unable to fight back. Spend 10 willpower disbelieving her.

>>15011268
>>15011287
>Either is fine in my opinion
>Would prefer to disbelieve the girl in case of a tie, to see if it does anything

>Updating.

>>15011277
Just curious, was my second idea even possible in this system? Maybe "impaling" could have been replaced with "giving a nasty concussion".

You concentrate on the girl. She can't be real. Nobody can do the things she is doing. For a minute, it almost works. She seems to shrink a little bit, her proportions returning to normal. Then, at the last second, you lose control, and she snaps back to the form you're used to.

As an experiment, it wasn't a complete failure, but it doesn't really help.

The wall has more luck. It keeps the girl and the most threatening mote under control.

This allows everyone free reign to pile onto her.

Issabella lands several wide punches. King John grabs her arm with his tongue.

You clear your throat. "If the next words out of your mouth are anything b..."

Penelope, without saying a word, chops her head off.

The girls neck is gone. Her head floats politely above her shoulders. She turns to look at Penelope, a confused expression on her face. After they stare at each other for a moment, she is gone.

The motes, who have been scrabbling to get to the other side of the wall, evaporate.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with the first tie breaker after 10 minutes.

>>15011328
>Everything is super loosely defined, so it's possible.

>Also, since I realized that it's not completely defined, Penelope didn't cause any sort of bleeding or physical wound that makes any sort of sense.

Quickly offer the killing to the Chaos Gods, pretending that her death was a sacrifice to their glory.

>>15011377
Haha, you card!

>>15011381
>>15011377
This... is the best quest.

>>15011366
Oh crap... Penelope knew this chick. Think about it: instead of allowing her to be taken prisoner, she just lops her head right off. And the way they just stared at each other, way to suspicious. First thing we need to do is disarm Penelope.

Look disappointed at Penelope as you disarm her.

Perhaps it's time to leave her behind.

Guys. I really hate Penelope.

>Look disappointed at Penelope as you disarm her.
>Hug Isabella.
>Re-imagine the flying bicycle, now only able to seat two.
>Leave Penelope behind.

You quickly forget about Penelope's sword. It vanishes. You flash her a disappointed look.

She meets your gaze. "I had to. You saw what she was doing!"

>Ten minutes.

If we're leaving Penelope behind, can we get Isabella to execute her for the crime of murder?

This way we justify it to Bells, offer a sacrifice to Khrone and possibly give Bells the courage to do something useful next time we're in a fight.

>>15011418
>Trap Penelope with rock candy wall.
>Tell her that the om-nom-nom girl could have made a great servant.
>Ride off on your newly re-imagined two seater bike with Isabella.

>>15011412
Oh god. And don't even say anything. Just take Issabella by the hand and leave. Love it.

>>15011422
Keep your grimderp out of this.

And the best way to break a character who believes that she's good is by making her feel like the bad guy (which she even is in this case, although I doubt the girl would have yielded).

Actually, when I think about it some more, a rabid dog is useful. We just let it off its leash, so to speak.

>>15011433
>>15011440
We're lawful evil.

we're not just going to leave an aggressive, murdering girl we've already had to fight off once alive on the streets.

Either we keep her as a servant or she dies. (and we can or not sacrifice her, as you choose)

>>15011455
She's powerless now. Besides, we let her live for Issabella, who is the best ever, legit. We would have killed her earlier otherwise.

>>15011455
Leaving her behind like that would destroy her, and Isabella would surely understand that we are the good guys here.

>>15011465

Bella has done nothing so far.

We need to take some time out to work out what she can do, Imagination/Will stats etc. Otherwise she's useless.

>>15011455
Good point. We can always imagine new friends, and we certainly didn't need one who's diet included our castle.
I say we.
>Congratulate her
We could trick her into being a blood knight/assassin.
>and take her back with us to wherever the hell we were going.

You turn around, get on your two seated bicycle with Issabella, and fly off. You don't hear a sound behind you, and you don't look back. Issabella is silent for the trip.

>Ten minutes.

>>15011471
She's our friend. We have tea parties with her. The fact that she is afraid of us is besides the point.

>>15011476
DAMN IT. Now we don't have a righteous homicidal loli. We should have stopped and thought before we did that.

Can we stop off somewhere and try teach her to use will/imagination.

We've now got Pene wandering round, who'll possibly be back as a nemesis character. Given that it was a hard fight the first time, we need to beef up our defences.

>>15011489
We could just consider this a time out.

>>15011489

I've been telling you to sacrifice her all day. You keep ignoring me,

>>15011489
Your right. But she's not going anywhere. We can come back again if we need her.
>>15011492
Penny is neutral good. We can't go about giving her powers. She might have a moral dilemma or something.

>>15011501
Issabella, not Penny

>>15011495
Yeah, but that just doesn't have the same message as "You killed someone who was a danger to my life? Good job, here's a promotion." Of course, it was entirely in character, from what I've seen in this topic (have to read the other ones still...) Yeah, I guess we should teach Isabella to use her imagination. She already knows the price of doing things that you don't like.
>>15011492
>Voted

>>15011501
Then basically all we've got is a lead weight which you guys are keeping around because you've got some wierd fetish for loli tea parties.

Make her loyal, then make her useful.

>Ask Isabella if she had a friend like King John once.

>Updating.

>>15011508
That is how I imagine Titania acts. It amuses me to imagine her as a super bossy friend.

>>15011495
I agree. Just circle around for a bit and come back for her. Warn her if she ever kills another girl again, the consequences will be harsher.

Damn, they grow up so fast. :')

You decide that Penelope can wait a bit.

"Issabella, did you ever have a friend like King John?"

"I used to. He was a bear named George. But I can't find him anymore." She pauses. "I got in a fight with Penelope... she said my friend was evil, but I still wanted to protect her. Penelope won. Ever since, I can't get to George."

She looks at you. "I think she might have been right, but..." She trails off.

>Ten minutes.

>Actually, since the consensus was "make Penelope wait" I'm not going to make you vote for that twice. Update sequel incoming.

>>15011547

I'm betting on Penelope putting some sort of psychic(if thats what these powers count as?) block on Bells. Execute Pene, the block will wear off, Bells will be indebted to us and she'll be useful. Plus a fucking bear.

>>15011547
>"Whatever you do Isabella, you should never give up. I -believe- that you'll find your friend again some day!"

And I say we let that homicidal maniac behind.

You think about this while you pilot the bicycle in a big circle. The land seems to have stopped shrinking, which is good news.

You bring the bike to a halt on the ground. Penelope is sitting on the edge of the world, staring off into space.

>Ten minutes, for real this time.

>>15011547
>Tell her Penelope, by convincing Isabella that George was evil, indirectly killed George.
>Then tell her that George went to heaven, and can easily be brought back.
>Finally, tell her to do her best to concentrate on George as an angel.

If this works right, we'll have a winged bear.

>>15011565
It was another girl, Mallory, that was accused of being evil.

>>15011547
Can we give her her powers back? I'm not sure how the rules work. If so, do this and explain to her that her bear wasn't evil. Then ask her if she thinks Penelope has had enough of a time out.

Also, do we need to do the rhyme from last time here?

>>15011570
What was the rhyme?

>Oh, I forgot the double meaning of "friend" in this setting for a minute. George isn't the one that Penelope thought was evil, it was the other girl in Issabella's adventuring party at the time. Pretend that was clear.

>>15011569
I REALLY need to read the old quests threads... ok, switch the names. Point is, convince Isabella that George is now an angel bear.

Isabella lost her powers (including George) because she yielded.

Mallory, Isabella's friend, was executed by Penelope in front of her.

>>15011583
ACK. Yep, I should have read this shit beforehand. I still vote to get an angel bear though. Otherwise, we've got a bump-on-a-log loli who's only use is consuming tea and cake (as far as I know.)

>>15011618
Wiki says it is the german equivalent of Ring a Ring o' Roses.

‘Ring a ring a round dance. We are the three children, sat under an elder bush. We all call: Hush, hush, hush! Sit down.’
Oddly appropriate, that we have to tell Penelope not to run about wrecking things.

You stand in the park, and tell Issabella that her bear is only gone, and that she can get him back. And that he's an angel now.

She looks convinced, and concentrates very hard. George doesn't appear. Issabella looks disappointed, but not surprised.

"Still, if anyone can help me get him back, it's you. Maybe someday it will work?"

You still have to deal with Penelope somehow.

>And that's it for chapter 4. This is earlier than I wanted to end it, but that's fine. Also, when I said there would be four chapters, I lied, I figured out how to continue indefinitely without things getting either boring or stupid.
>I am absolutely not running this tomorrow. If you want to be sure that you get to participate, e-mail me. If not, everything gets archived.

Great quest, I look forward to the next installment. That's also a very nice combat system you've got there.

This is a great quest. I fully intend to play the next one.

I miss her ;_;

Best quest in a long time

>>15011955
Well, at least we have two goals now. Bringing back George and Mallory.
Meta-gaming or not.
