You've left Bronze Peak, having a full to-do list regarding bringing down the Dramatae, and stopping them from restarting the whole Lightbringer mess.

You stopped at your hometown of River's Crossing. It was a nice quiet reunion with friends and family. Until that evening, at least. Tricia had completed the ritual potion that was used in the Dragon Bonding ceremony. You both downed it, and then things went very wrong.

Next thing you knew was that you were trapped in the Blank Space, with only Peace to keep you company. She told you that the ritual had forcibly begun the transformation that Wasp Witches undergo, years of shifting and changing all in an instant. If it didn't kill Tricia, then her mind would be gone. Peace made the usual devil's bargain, but with prayer and force of will, you were able to help...you think...and bring yourself back.

You awoke to find Tricia. She seemed fine, but the truth was a little complicated. When her body began to shift and warp, she did the only thing she could do, and called out to the swarms. They arrived, and she had them rid her body of the offending flesh, and once that was done, she was able to still command the bugs she had summoned to stay, and serve as her new body.

It was a very long night.

Echo, I just like to state for the record, that if you are female, I want to be with you. And if you're a dude, then (no homo) I want you inside me.

Fuck you, I can't get anything done, ever, when I know there's a Lamia Quest going.

>>24576400
"So," Lea sighs as she looks at the two of you. Mari is examining Tricia, poking and prodding her, writing down a lot of items in a notebook. "Would you like me to smack the both of you now, or wait until later?" She sighs. "What were you two thinking? Doing this alone...stupid!" She whaps you on the back of your head. "I don't want to say that either of you deserve this...but honestly, you do foolish things like this and you make your own bed."

You know, I'm sort of curious how much of tricia is bugs. I am also at the same time feeling like I would experience body horror at finding out.

Up 'til silly o'clock last night, prepared to do it again. Worth it.

>>24576495

"Yeah, not doing this alone was the second or third thing that occurred to me when I found myself unconscious and visited by Peace. The first few aren't fit for polite company."

>>24576400
Just to confirm, we don't owe Peace shit right? I fell asleep and only caught the end.
Also I am alright with tricia bugs.

>>24576485
"I know Lea, I know. This one was entirely our fault. It would have been more wise to have someone along in case something went wrong.

Things were looking... bleak for a while there."

>>24576485
>but honestly, you do foolish things like this and you make your own bed."

Resisting urge to make a "make your bed and lie in it" joke here.

>>24576522
no, we ALMOST DID though. Really fucking close.

>>24576522
Right, we got out of it without Peace's "help". Just a pile of psychological torture.

I am also wondering, do all of her bugs stay... together? While she sleeps? Oh our poor bugwitch is now the scariest member of the monster squad. Even Made-Of-Poison Ssen is less likely to end minds than Tricia exploding into bugs.

Can Ssen try drawing something on her arm to see if the bugs always go back the same way? Curiousity is killing me.

>>24576485
"Well we did that too." with a grin at Lea.

>>24576527
couldnt help myself

>>24576549
Since there was no mention of Ssen waking up covered in bugs, I'm assuming so.

I'm a bit concerned about Tricia's noted lack of a epidermal layer on most of her body excluding her neck and face and head. Unless her new (powered-up?) state of Wasp Witch renders her immune to most diseases, that much exposed tissue could become very painful or very infected in a short amount of time. Not to mention that the buggy second skin could be vulnerable to extreme changes in moisture and/or temperature, unless there's some magic mystical stuff going on.

If she can control Arachnids now, she might want to consider weaving a bodysuit of spidersilk.

>>24576596
she can control silkworms. so she can do normal silk.

>>24576596
If her transformation was playing that strictly to realism, I think she would've died around the point her flesh became bugs.

>>24576617
Let's just ask her to not... come apart if she can help it.

It's worrying. Especially if she tries to do it in combat and doesn't have flesh protecting her bones and arteries.

We still have to ask about the dragonfly wings.

>>24576617

I figured that there's some sort of magic symbiosis going on that attunes the bugs to her vitality. So they can inherit most of the duties of the skin without worrying about all the vital functions it carries out. So it might in reality be a crawly layer of skin that she can easily regenerate in temperate areas.

>>24576639
Yes. We have to inform Tricia she's our little dragonfly now. Regardless of what she things.

>>24576657
This has to be done.
I find it surprisingly fitting the 4th ed lamia picture is a redhead.

>>24576657
We do indeed.

>>24576524
"I know Lea, I know. This one was entirely our fault. It would have been more wise to have someone along in case something went wrong.

"That was the second or third thing that occurred to me when I found myself unconscious and visited by Peace. The first few aren't fit for polite company.

"Things were looking...pretty bleak for a while." You say.

"Alright." Mari steps back. "So, you want the full diagnostic, or do you want to wait until Mage comes back from vomiting outside?"

Tricia looks away.

"Look, he was okay until you touched him with your...skin off." Peri says. "Anyone would freak."

"Fair enough." She sighs. "Alright, go ahead."

"Okay. your skeletal, nervous, digestive, respiratory, and arterial systems are still intact. In fact, most of your insides are still you. Now, they've been totally altered in how they work, but they're there and healthy. But fat, muscle, your old skin, and everything that doesn't keep you alive, and your skeleton held together from your collar bone down. Yeah. That's gone. It's been replaced with...yeah." She sighs. "As for your new skin...you know how certain druids can change their body into animals?"

"Yeah, Dad can make himself into a horse."

"Right, same principle...kinda. You're just polymorphing the shells of all your little friends into a single dermis. You're also using the silk from your worms as well." She nods. "It's actually a bit tougher than normal skin really. But don't go testing that out. It's not that much tougher." Mari says. "Also, don't think you can just keep adding bugs to it. This swarm is now yours, and literally a part of you. They've been altered by your magic and...well I guess we should call it Dragon magic too."

Lea shakes her head, still angry at your foolish actions.

(cont)

>>24576832
"What?" Tricia asks. "Am I now too much of a monster or an abomination to be allowed to be seen in HIs Light?" She snaps.

Lea takes a step back, she looks hurt. "Tricia..." She says, she shakes her head. "No."

"Tricia, that's not fair." Peri says. "You know Lea's not like that."

Tricia sighs. "Sorry." She pauses. "Lea, can you come with me to see my father? I...I think I'll need you, and I don't want him mad at Ssen."

"Of course." She says. "But promise me you wont scare him like you did with Mage. I think the poor boy's hair will go white from the shock."

The pair leave.

"Okay, your turn." Mari says. "Stretch out and let me see what happened to YOU."

(Okay, time to pick. Scales, arms, eyes, or tail?)

>>24576832
>"Look, he was okay until you touched him with your...skin off." Peri says. "Anyone would freak."

"I didn't."

> (Okay, time to pick. Scales, arms, eyes, or tail?)

Mmmm. Eyes or tail, I'd think; personally I'd prefer eyes.

>>24576845
those all sound interesting. Surprise me!

>>24576845
oh boy, if we pick arms are we a Maralith?

leaning towards tail or scales.

>>24576845
could we get a run down of what the options do

>>24576865
Actually, I'd like to keep our snake eyes.

Hopefully any change to the eye doesn't change the fact they're all slittish and snake like. Maybe change something else?

eyes, we're a hunter and yet its our worse skill hah.

(of course that is mostly the dice's fault)

>>24576865
Since this is a fairly meta decision to begin with: I'm thinking enhanced eyes are the most likely to help us with actually hitting things, which is what we need the most help with. We already dodge like crazy, so scales doesn't seem that important. I'm really curious about tail though.

Except, if arms had any chance whatsoever of giving wings, even small wings, it'd be so worth it.

I'm really hoping the eyes aren't a multisegmenting thing and more of an iridescent scaling thing, look the same but now we can perceive a wider spectrum of light than even before. Like a horrible cross between snake and mantis shrimp.

>>24576929
actually, I'm just mostly worried about changing the look of our eyes is all.

Snakeyes is a thing of great significance culturally, and I bet, magically.

We're going to have a harder time with this than the dresses.

>>24576970
I was going to suggest that dragon eyes would fit, but then I realized that even though this is dragon magic, we just exchanged blood with Tricia, making it just as possible that we now have some bugly traits instead.

Hedging bets, on that theory: tail, because we don't want bug eyes.

>>24576929
meh, not a fan of wings, especially since they would have to be massive to lift us, we are like 600+ pounds, probably 700+ now that we have gained a bit of length.

as fir eyes, I like our yellow/golden snake eyes.

>>24576970
>>24576897
these were BOTH me, so it's only 1 anti-eye vote. Just, you know, no doublecounting. Sorry bout that.

>>24576845
Voting for Tail.

>>24576845
Gonna go with tail for this one

Also fuck you echo that shit you pulled last night gave me insomnia.

all valid concerns... alright I can go with tail as well.

>>24577026
It gave us all insomnia.

>>24576845
>>24577032
>>24577026
>>24577024
>>24576993
>>24576897
>>24576891
Sounds like we're converging on tail.

>>24576845

I'm voting scales. And praying to His Light that Lea can keep Tricia's parents from hurting Tricia's feelings,

>>24576991
We are surprisingly vain about this, though in my case, its more of a case of avoiding the horror that is a lot of the mary sue protagonists with all that special rainbow shit. Can't speak for anyone else of course. Wings would be fucking way too much.
I'm all for eyes, since it seems like the most subtle of the changes.

I would still like an explaination of the meta changes since this is a meta decision.

>>24577026
You probably had it better off than me. Not sure I even finished the thread before sleeping, woke up after dreaming about Lamia Assassins though.

>>24577063
>I would still like an explaination of the meta changes since this is a meta decision.
Yeah I do agree with that.

>>24577055
I'm betting they're going to look right past the bug thing and instead be upset that Tricia got married without talking to them.

>>24577080
well we still need to get actually married.

and find Julian or someone else suitable to do the ceremony.

>>24577103
Or Father Uriah. But yes, true. Just because we went through the draconic equivalent doesn't mean we should skip the well-recognized version.

>>24577080
To be fair, the entire wedding was a clusterfuck of twitching on the floor, necrosis, and Magic. They really didn't miss much of a 'ceremony'.

Well, come what may. An eye mutation might actually retain our snakeness.

>>24576929
>>24576903
>>24576865

"Okay, so...your body is...normal...for you." She gently examines your tail. "These little slits are where your barbs will eventually come out, right?" She shakes her head. "We are a never ending freak show. No wonder Lea's happy with her lifespan. What a trade off, huh?" She then does a check of your waist and arms. "Okay...that seems good." She goes up to your face. Then she pauses. "Ssen...okay. Be calm. Blink your eyes."

You do so. Mari exhales, and then takes out a small little stick with a cotton ball on the end. "And now hold still..." She pushes the cotton ball up to your eye and...tap. Tap. It stops and you feel a pressure, but...you don't feel it touch your eye. "Okay, I can see the slit. It opens sideways." She pauses. "One more test." She closes the door, covers the window, and put out the fire. "Seen? What can you see?"

Everything. The residual heat from the fire. Peri/Mari and their heartbeat. The cracks in the wall, and well...you can see the little change what happens when Peri's there, as opposed to Mari, and you can see a...glow along one side of the wall. That's where Mage is trying to regain his stomach. You can see Beacon shining in the corner too.

Mari restores the light. "Okay." She nods. "So, that's that." She looks at you. "How do you feel, Ssen? I mean. Trish' is that 'so calm it's clear she's a hair away from freaking out' but how are you holding up?"

>>24577175
alright, Im happy with the eyes.

>>24577175
Sorry, saw the votes for eyes before it changed to tail. Is this okay, or would you like to scrap this and have me do the tail?

>>24577198
Fine with this.

>>24577198
its fine, personally Im happy with enhanced vision... its what I wanted in the first place before vanity got ahold of everyone heh

>>24577198
The eyes turned out fairly well, but it does seem like the vast majority of people ended up wanting tail, including several people changing their mind and going for tail.

>>24577198
I'm cool with what we've got.

(could we get a brief summery of what would have changed if we picked the other options? Im hella curious.)

>>24577198
fine with this, but now I am endlessly curious what you had planned for arms/tail/scales!

can we stick with eyes but get a rundown of how the others would have turned out?

>>24577198
well I like the eyes for heatvision but what does the tail get is my question. Cause if you tell us then I might switch to the tail but I'm cool with the eyes if not.

>>24577235
In all honesty he should have done that from the start.

>>24577224
>>24577209
I'm trying to not take into account getting a sneak preview of what we would have gotten.

>>24577237
My guess is that Tail would've been the barbs. Just a guess.

>>24577262
I was guessing a stinger. Or actual dragon tail. SInce this IS a dragon ritual.

>>24577175
Eh, sideways snake slit it okay I suppose. Makes us look more... leviathan-y. Less dragon-y. Also we apparently have some sort of eye cover now? That's curious. As for dialogue:

"Well, to be honest I'm so relieved I could faint. Or throw up. I thought Tricia wasn't... wasn't going to make it. That's the wrong kind of stupid."

>>24577269
Dragon ritual, with Wasp Witch blood. Who knows.

>>24577262
I somewhat doubt it, he said we couldnt get those till MUCH later, it has only been a few threads since we got the Black/Clear and Claws.

>>24577198
I was only worried about eyes because I wanted to avoid some kind of crazy heterochromy compound eyes bullshit. This is satasfactory.

>>24577235
(Tail gets you your barbs, scales lets you have a little chamelion action, arms lets you eventually grow a Naga-style bone blade.)

>>24577320
Oh. In that case, yes, I think eyes is pretty clearly the right choice. Mage can already pull off the chameleon thing, we have claws already, and the barbs aren't as awesome as enhanced eyesight.

>>24577277
No no, you have your normal eyelids, but you also have a second pair of clear eyelids that are hard that open sideways.

>>24577320
So question... was this one are only chance at barbs? Or will we have others?

>>24577320
Well then the eyes have it.

>>24577347
oh, so the snake-eye thing is still vertical? But we just have a secondary eyelidset? Fascinating!

>>24577352
I'm assuming it will develop as we get older and the bond deepens.
Which makes me stoked for ancient Ssen going full chameleon.

(was this the only other chance for the barbs?)

I just realized thats everyone in our little party who has extended life awating for them barring death by Citadel except for Lea. Mage is Serpent, Peri\Mari has their pseudo lich. And now Tricia is a Dragon Wasp Queen.

>>24577347
ooh double eyelids for underwater work.

fine with me, just hope we get another chance for the barbs.

>>24577352
>>24577381
Yeah, whether it was or not, this seems better.

>>24577320
>Tail gets you your barbs
Wait, so was that our one chance to get the barbs?
Not that they would be as useful as infravision or chameleon scales.

>>24577352
Honestly, we'll probably get barbs naturally at age like 40-120. We weren't long enough to do it easily, I remember.

>>24577381
>Dodging responsibility but sunning on a rock nearly perfectly blending in with the surroundings.

>>24577386
Don't worry, Lea is holy as fuck and lives healthily.

She'll survive easily 300 years.

>>24577401
>an acolyte trips on the end of your chameleon tail, which was too long to all fit on the rock.

>>24577386
This was a bonus chance for the barbs. You'll get them when you complete Coral Gate's bonus dungeon, or whack one of the Dramatae

>>24577401
An almost invisible snake and a head with attached skeleton, sunning on a rock and watching the circling dragonflies.

>>24577433
I really, really look forward to having acolytes. We can get some immediately upon citadel's collapse, and we should.

We'll need to train additional clarus sects like ourselves post-haste in a post citadel environment.

>>24577433
>A choice of blades or claws later on in feral combat, using the claws as a blade catcher while dueling with the other.
>>24577456
So no chance at eventual chameleon?

>>24577460
"Tricia, please keep yourself together. You're hardly skin and bones."

>>24577460
Par for the course. No worse than the boar sled.

>>24577456
.... bonus dungeon? Im stoked.

>>24577456
OK, while we never meta choice we didn't agonize over, it sounds like we're pretty much all happy with how the eyes turned out, especially since you told us the other three options.

I just realized that Tricia performed a Dragon Servant Ritual with the bugs. Think about it.

>>24577513
Huh! Perhaps!

>>24577478
I don't really want the bone blades. That's a naga thing. Stealing poor old Granny's shtick.

>>24577487
Agreed. Should we play hide and seek with mice while we wait for Tricia?

>>24577277
"Well, to be honest I'm so relieved I could faint. Or throw up. I thought Tricia wasn't...wasn't going to make it. That's the wrong kind of stupid."

Mari nods. "Well...at least we know that this stuff is dangerous. So when Peri and I do our thing, we'll make sure that we have back-up." She smiles at you. "So, we're going Lamia hunting, I heard?"

>>24577175
You know, I'm super stoked about our new vision.

We can now both TASTE and SEE when someone is lying.

"I can TASTE your lies!"

"I can SEE your plotting!"

>>24577551
hopefully they are relatively peaceful. But otherwise yes.

>>24577562
I lol'd

>>24577537
Her's is the hood mostly, I'm ambivalent about the bone blades, more interested in the chameleon factor to be honest.
Because stealth paladin is one of the better kinds.

>>24577551
"Hopefully more of a peaceful meeting then a hunt, but I need to talk with Tricia for a while first."

>>24577551
"Hopefully not hunting, more like 'Hi, welcome to neighborhood.' Or something like that."

I wonder if we'll ever get a chance to chameleon again... stealth killing those Glass Assassin's were fun.

>>24577551
"Well, I had wanted to talk to them. It could turn into a hunt. It could. I really hope it doesn't.

We just want to make nice, and ensure they won't attack our town. Heck, this place needs someone to sell furs, with me out gallivanting about."

"A lot of it is I'd just really like to meet another lamia."

>>24577551
"I would prefer diplomacy but with the way our plans go it might just turn out that way."

>>24577562
"I see all. I know all. I can taste your fear.

>>24577603
don't worry. if we snuck around at night, we'd be so invisible chameleon doesn't matter.

I mean, we can see perfectly in pitch darkness. One well lobbed snowball or glob of jello, the torch goes out... Ssen time.

>>24577635
Haha, I had forgotten jello became canon in this setting.

We should maybe check our eyes in the mirror. Make sure they're not terrifying blood red or something now.

>>24577665
please tell me that was because of us, even indirectly.

>>24577676
Don't think they are. Mari had to look closely to notice they were different.

>>24577701
no. Ssen had nothing to do with it.

Peri mentioned jello though.

>>24577701
I think it was something Echo had describe using jello and /tg/ went on a rant/tangent. At least that's what I'm recalling.

>>24577728
well, see, she could have noticed the red right away, and just assumed we knew any passing differences.

It's the kind of thing that can produce comedic misunderstandings.

>>24577609
"Well, I had wanted to talk to them. It could turn into a hunt. It could. I really hope it doesn't. But with the way our plans go, it might turn out that way.

"A lot of it is I'd just really like to meet another lamia."

Mari nods. "Here's hoping."

"I would like to talk to Tricia though." You say.

Mari/Peri nod.

After a bit, Tricia and Lea return. They look...okay.

"So...Mom and Dad are very upset." Tricia says. "They yelled a lot, and Dad's now a horse riding around the farm a few times to calm down."

"They're mad at you two for the same reasons I'm mad at you." Lea says. "Give it time, and they'll be alright. At least they don't have to worry about the change anymore." Lea shakes her head. She looks like she's about to lecture you two again when Peri is at her shoulder. "They need to talk. Let's clean Mage up and go get ready for checking out that lamia issue."

Lea harumphs. "Fine." She points at the both of you. "Don't think you've gotten out of this though." The pair leave.

"I honestly think Lea's happier when she has someone to scold." Tricia says. She looks at you. "So...now what?"

>>24577701
yes, Echo used jello from one of the characters replies and we pretty much said Jello is cannon now! and Echo rolled with it.

I'm worried people are going to start thinking we're a plaguespreader or something. Mage is the most 'normal' in our group and he's a former ghoul that looks like he was raised in a cave. and he's going to get scaly in a few years.

>>24577799
Personally I'd be more worried about the opposite.

People following Ssen and co around for ages hoping they'll develop some freaky new power.

We're no lightweight, and we're going to be needing a LOT of it for these decisions.

(yea, sleep deprivation thank to yesterdays thread does not help my writing skills. didn't even catch it until you pointed it out.)

>>24577882
"We're still good together, right?"

"Yes." She says.

"Then nothing important has changed. Sure, our friends saw how stupid we were, and we're going to have a whole pile of unexpected complications with your condition, but you're still my dragonfly. We'll continue on as we were."

She looks at you. "You're going to call me that forever, aren't you?" She smiles. "Okay...I'm your Dragonfly, and you're my Snake." She says.

You can't help it. You're crying, your second eyelids have to blink to keep the tears out. You tell her about the Blank Space. About the thing with Peace, and how you could have stopped the whole damn thing from happening to her.

She looks at you and hen slaps you. "Don't. You. Dare." She says. "This is OUR stupid thing, and OUR stupid consequences, and OUR stupid life. We'll live and we'll make do. We DON'T ask for people to just make it all better. that's Citadel crap." She kisses you. "Ssen...you need to get a more solid spine."

>>24578058
I'll try, snakes aren't known for that though.

>>24578058
"If my spine was more solid I couldn't do this."

Full Lamia hug time.

>>24578058
Smile. "I have one---yours. As horrible as it was, you were the strength that helped me through it.

The thing with Peace was one thing, but what right did I have to choose between those dolls? It was your life, dammit! In the end, I just chose for you to be truly happy, not Citadel happy.

I'm just thankful you're alive."

>>24578058
Simply say:
"It's called Tricia"
and then do some gesture of romanticism. A hug, a kiss.

Seriously woman, you are the only chink in our indomitable paladin armor.

>>24578058
laugh and look mock offended, "But then I couldn't do this." and wrap her in our coils

then
>>24578119


"Its just, that is the second time I nearly killed you, or.. or worse..."

>>24578149
Yes, definitely add this.

>>24578058
"On the bright side you don't have to worry about your figure anymore. You can just store anything you don't want in your hat."

>>24578160
You need to eat more; you're all bug and bones!

I wonder if we can see magic now. I wonder if we're going to eat peace out of hatred/spellcasting procurement.

>>24578201
Granny did suggest that:
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/24422089/#p24429216
>"A spell." She says. "Maybe some day I'll teach you what I know about Magic. Of course, step one is to find a really nasty son-of-a-bitch magic user...and eat him."

And Peace is the biggest example of both traits

>>24578100
"If my spine was more solid I couldn't do this."

You shift in that way that makes Tricia giggle every time.

"But, I do have one, yours. As horrible as it was, you were the strength that helped me through it.

"The thing with Peace was one thing, but what right did I have to choose between those dolls? It was your life, dammit! In the end, I just chose for you to be truly happy, not Citadel happy.

"I'm just thankful you're alive."

Tricia rolls her eyes and bops you on the nose. "You know, you're a real Dragon when you get like this. So dramatic, and over the top and it's all about YOU and ME and how BAD you feel...honestly, it's kind of getting tired." She smiles and then she just holds you for a bit. "Just shut up for a while."

The two of you stay there for a good hour or so. If you didn't know better of what was under Tricia's skin, you couldn't tell. It is smooth now, all the little bumps and welts are gone now. You aren't sure about how you feel about that.

"For our proper wedding, let's wait...I want Dad to calm down, and to have kicked in the teeth of that bitch and fed her her own mask." Tricia says.

>>24578173
Theres an idea. Eat one of the dramate.

>>24578300
Will do. Shall we go see how these Lamia fare?

>>24578300
*show a bit of fang*
"I could always give her a kiss so good she melts."

>>24578300
>"For our proper wedding, let's wait...I want Dad to calm down, and to have kicked in the teeth of that bitch and fed her her own mask." Tricia says.

"Yeah. And since she cared so much about us not killing Comedy, I do believe that baby-eating brat will be our first stop."

>>24578300
"Well, if we're getting into revenge plans, we'll have to collaborate. I've got plans of my own for peace, none to pleasant."

>>24578300
Well, if we're going to visit the lamia, this is probably the time. Make sure we have the anti-venom Granny provided.

>>24578300
"Heh. Funny about that. I think we should pay Comedy a visit. Peace seemed to want to protect it the most."

>>24578300
It occurs to me to wonder: how might Tragedy feel about Peace choosing Comedy over him?

>>24578344
"Yeah. If we're getting into revenge plans, we'll have to collaborate. I've got plans of my own for peace, none to pleasant. And since she cared so much about us not killing Comedy, I do believe that baby-eating brat will be our first stop."

There's a knock on the door. "Enough with the lovey-dovey stuff. Let's go see if we can get killed again. The usual way!" Peri says.

Tricia wiggles free of your coils. "Come on. I need to get my hat."

>>24578468
Grab her hat and play keep-away while we go into the forest.

I'm feeling playful after all that drama.

>>24578468
"Oh, sorry about that Peri. It's so rude of us to plot against peace alone, we should have invited you guys. Yeah, let's go see my poisonous relatives."

I wonder how mad her dad is at us. I mean we didn't want to do it.

>>24578509
you'd be mad too if your kid got dragon married and you weren't invited.

also she nearly died in the cerimony which you could have helped with.

>>24578485
This. And grab Granny's anti-venom.

>>24578468
It occurs to me that, unlike most fights, we're actually in the most danger here. The others would get hurt by venom and need some help within a few minutes, but Ssen has all of a few seconds before her heart stops.

>>24578485
"You mean this one?" You say as you snatch the hat with your reflexes.

The other three step out of the way as you come outside of your house, waving Tricia's hat. Your mate swearing and yelling threats involving hordes of ants in uncomfortable, unreachable, places. And a boycott on tail rubs.

Mage smiles. "Okay, so...back to normal...for us. Thank His Light."

Finall, Tricia gets her hat back, and with a punch to your shoulder, everyone heads off into the woods. You know that the ruin of Bright Tower is where they're reported to live, but you know better than to just charge in. Time to track one of your own, in YOUR woods.

Also lamia don't leave tracks on the ground in the wild.

they're IN THE TREES

>>24578587
Yeah, you're right.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/23725498/#p23726507

>>24578058
"I know, Tricia. If it was anything else, it wouldn't have even been a dilemma. I would have dismissed her entirely. But, if its you, I can't help it."

>>24578602
Okay...so you're a little rusty. Not your fault. You've been in mountains and caves, and seashores, and cities. It's been ages since you were this deep in a forest.

So...let's just go to the Bright Tower.

The place hasn't changed much since...well...since you were taken away from here. There's an old wall of stones that surrounds a courtyard. You can see where the house, stable, armory, and other places used to be. They were made of wood that has long ago since rotted away into colored patches of dirt. There's just the wall...and the tower. There's no door anymore. There are signs of snake trails that go into and out of the tower. This is their new lair.

Peri puts a hand on your shoulder. "Let me go first. I don't want you getting surprised and chomped."

Peri sneaks inside and you all wait.

"Do you remember anything about your life here?" Lea asks, idly. "I mean, before your Father came?"

>>24578856
"No, I don't."

>>24578856
"I'd always hid, when there was thunder. They always found me. Well, with the one notable exception."

>>24578856
hiding from thunder, seeing them fall. a man raising a sword... then Light.

Can never find this pic to post when the thread is still on. Finally managed to look it up.

>>24578856
"I remember when he came; the Dragon who Was of Shadow reminded me of it, thinking that memory would hurt me. But of the time before that, I remember almost nothing."
>>24578886
This.

>>24578856
"Not much. Sights, smells... lots of smells. I think I was trying to play hide and seek or something when Liam found me. other than that..."

>>24578856
Tastesmell around in the tower, while we're here; see if it seems like they've been here recently and where the scent leads.

>>24578943
also: look. We have better eyes now.

>>24578956
Oh yeah; can't believe I forgot those this quickly.

>>24578856
"Just the thunder and the light."

Also can an ocullus receive a confession? Because I think there might be a need to talk about the fact that we almost gave in to Peace to Lea.

>>24579014
well, we told tricia about it. That's enough. Probably.

>>24579014
we didnt though, we trusted in the Light to see us through and it did.

confession is only for when you have done wrong, which we did not.

>>24579014
And give her more ammunition for the sternest "you dun did it this time young lady" look she can possibly manage? Ssen would turn to jello.

>>24578941
"Not much. Sights, smells...lots of smells. I think I was trying to play hide and seek or something when Liam found me. Other than that..." You say. "And thunder...I'd always hide, when there was thunder. They always found me. Well...save once."

Peri comes back out. "It's safe, but you'll want to see this."

You come up. The place is a blood bath. And the smell is awful. Tricia has to focus to force the flies to go away for the moment.

The nest is wrecked, there's blood everywhere. Three men are on the ground, one a semi-gelatinous lump of skin and flesh. The other has it's throat clawed out. The last has a claw inside his chest. The last one is a Passion and the other two are Blanks. The claw that is inside the Passion's chest is attached to a lamia with long gold hair. There's two blades sticking out of her chest. Her eyes are open and glazed over.

The other lamia. Her hair a beautiful shade of silver is slumped in the corner. There's a couple of nasty looking gashes in her side, and there's burn marks on her body and on the wall she's slumped against. her eyes are closed and not a single part of her body is moving.

"This just never ends. Does it?" Lea says. She clasps her hands. "May these two souls be given His mercy, and may my prayer be used to help light their way on their Journey so they may find their way to His Light and true peace."

"Amen." Mage says.

>>24579024
Yeah, she's the only one whose forgiveness we really needed. As much for the dolls as for peace.

>>24579089
"O-oh... I see."

Sort of stand there a while.

>>24579089
damn.

can we see any signs of life in the one with silver hair? a heartbeat or body heat?

>>24579089
"Thank you, Lea.

Looks like the Dramatae were hoping to use these lamia after all. Peace lied to me about River's Crossing not being a suitable target. Imagine my surprise."

>>24579089
We should check the one not moving, at least for a pulse.

>>24579089

It may be unlikely, but it might be worth checking out if that Lamia against the wall is still alive (if in a bad way). Just be careful about the cornered animal instinct.

Amen

Why would the Dramatae send Passions after Lamia... it doesn't make much sense.

Unless Peace is capturing lamia hatchlings to pervert and grow. Sniff\look around for signs of a young one.

>>24579145
No, one of the others should; they're actually less vulnerable than us.

>>24579138
"Thank you, Lea.

"Looks like the Dramatae were hoping to use these lamia after all. Peace lied to me about River's Crossing not being a suitable target. Imagine my surprise."

You carefully go over to the one with silver hair and you check her out.

Roll 1d20

>>24579089
Take a look around with our new eyes and smell also.

>>24579089
"Before we send them off, let me check something."

Then quietly check the pulse on that silver-haired lamia. There's a lot to be said for the toughness of lamias and nagas.

>>24579156
Except it likely wants to bite the first thing with 2 legs it sees.

>>24579167
Use the eyes.

>>24579187
I suppose that's true. Feral doesn't automatically mean they attack anything that moves.

>>24579195
Would have been a good idea, yeah.

>>24579200
technically, the closest thing to a classification WE have is "feral".

A feral lamia is the best thing we could find. No citadel, black peaks, or anything influence.

>>24579200
we probably would not have even attacked Granny had she been a Lamia, we called her Not-Same while we where unbound by our thinking mind.

>>24579232
Good point. Though as
>>24579214
points out, these aren't necessarily just wild lamia, they may have some Citadel influence, just not enough for the Dramatae's taste.

Behold after a billion hours in photoshop

>>24579183
No, sorry. Doornail.

"Hey." Mage says. "The Passion had this on him." He's got a piece of paper.

- - -
Harpies: 100 gp
Mer: 50 gp
Naga: 25 gp for Pets, 200 wild
Lamias: 500 gp

The list keeps going with all different kinds of monsters and associated prices. There's a few notes at the bottom.

Double fee for eggs, babies, & breed-able females.

The Caligo Clarus are not to be approached, unless you have direct orders, or a clear overwhelming force. They will kill you, or you will be captured and receive the standard punishment.

No other unsanctioned actions apart from gathering are allowed. Punishment will be severe. Do not defy us. Do not betray us.

We give our All for Citadel.

>>24579333
huh. Us and tricia together is nearing critical redhead.

No wonder Isen wants in on it so bad.

>>24579333
That does look a hair different, yeah.

(Seriously, though, nice dye job; looks good.)

>>24579359
Oh, those bastards. They are capturing them for their army...

At least these two didn't go quietly.

>>24579359
"Oh light no. It's all gotten just so much worse!"

>>24579359
"It's sad how unsurprising this is. I'm just wondering if this is a direct note from the Dramatae, or if the Citadel authorities are in on this little shopping list? Either way, I've got a list of my own for them. Dramatae masks, Dramatae heads; double fee for complete Dramatae prepped for skeleton melting."

>>24579359
Sigh. "Somehow I excepted this."

>>24579359
Hold onto that note, and make sure that every other race sees this or knows. Everyone from the harpy queen to granny.

Good thing we are headed to Coral City. We can warn the Mer there.

>>24579409
yup

>>24579359
On the bright side, if they want eggs that means this plan is long term. Since they'd have to raise those eggs to maturity.

Unless magic is involved.

>>24579359
We find the nearest Dramatae, and we take their fucking head.

>>24579439
definately Magic. Hopefully its tied up with Comedy since thats who Peace was trying to spare... and she IS a baby eater.

>>24579359
New plan everybody! we spring ALL these captured monsters!

and hope they're capturing, and not genociding!

>>24579409
Yeah, we're going to be showing this to anyone not already on Citadel's side.

>>24579439
It's Citadel. So yes magic. No way they're waiting or letting us have that long to mess their plans up... again.

>>24579396
"Oh, by His Light, no. It's all gotten just so much worse!" You shake your head. "They're capturing them for an army."

"Sick bastards." Tricia says.

"It's sad how unsurprising this is, actually. I feel like I should have expected this. I'm just wondering if this is a direct note from the Dramatae, or if the Citadel authorities are in on this little shopping list? Either way, I've got a list of my own for them. Dramatae masks, Dramatae heads; double fee for complete Dramatae prepped for skeleton melting."

"I like that list." Tricia says.

"We did pu-" Peri starts.

"No." Mage says. "This isn't our fault. We're causative of this scenario, but we didn't give this order, and we didn't cause this scene. What we ARE going to do is find these fuckers and melt each and every last one of their skulls."

"Mage, please," Lea says. "we're better than that. We can be much more creative." She sighs. "Mage, can you dig two graves?"

"One." Tricia says. "They went down together."

Lea nods. "You're right."

"Yeah, give me a bit." He says.

Lea sneers at the other three corpses. "As for those creatures. I say we just haul them out and leave them for the carrion."

"No." Tricia says. "Lea, Peri/Mari...you may want to leave." She says.

The pair leave to help Mage with the grave.

Tricia looks at you. "You...you don't have to watch this, you can try and get them out of here." She gestures to the two lamia.

>>24579409
Good thought. Also, I notice lizardfolk aren't on that list.

Basically, I think we should put a scheme in motion: denial. Offer asylum to "monsters" who want to live in Bronze Peak or Stone Hall without being harassed or kidnapped. This happens right after we let Tricia's folks know what's going on.

>>24579543
watch our lady.

>>24579556
who says they arn't it was a long list that was just abreviated for space. It probably contains most if not all sentient non humans besides elves and dwarfs.

>>24579543
Oh god the bugs are hungry.

>>24579543
"I don't have to watch, true."

Then sit there and watch.

>>24579543
"I don't have to stay and watch, but I will because I want to."

>>24579556
That would be a declaration of open warfare. We're almost to that point, but not quite.

>>24579608
This.

>>24579556
Lizardfolk are indeed on the list, but they're not worth much.

>>24579569
>>24579598
Yep.

>>24579608
This is good.

When she finishes... "I've been planning out eating Peace"

modifying, combine >>24579598
and >>24579608

"I don't have to watch, true."

"But I will because I want to."

>>24579617
Ah. So maybe not worth enough to turn Stone Hall into a target for mass kidnappings.

>>24579614
Yeah, we need to take over the Leviathan first. Can't have that looming over Stone Hall when we decide to lolnope Citadel.

>>24579654
Yeah. After we visit the Mer of Coral Gate, we might pay a visit to the Leviathan.

>>24579654
The Mer could possibly reinforce the parts of Citadel that are in danger of falling into the ocean.

>>24579617
"500 gold a lamia. Man. I didn't know I was making such a great name for my people."

We can say this part when we are attending to the corpses.

>>24579669
not go kill/capture or eat Comedy? she is near White Tree after all.

>>24579702
honestly? Im all for it. Especially after this.

Of course after we do that we'll have to head immediately for Tragedy otherwise he'll shore up his defences.

>>24579702
I'd like to see about protecting our mind before we directly assault a Dramatae, and visiting Coral Gate first also seems like it'll reduce backtracking.

>>24579608
"I don't have to stay and watch, but I will because I want to."

"Alright." Tricia crouches down and takes off the masks and puts her hands on the blanks' face. It's a buzzing hissing popping sound as Tricia's arms revert to the swarming mass, and then they flow over the two bodies. To the point where you can see her bony hands. The bodies shudder and jerk under their robes and armor. You can't even see their faces, as there's bugs all over it. Then the swarms exit from the Blanks and go over to the Passion. They pour into the holes in the mask. The body does the same shuddering as the bugs do their thing. Then they all return to Tricia's outstretched hands and up into her robes. Then her arms return to normal. There are now three skeletons on the ground. Tricia smiles. "You know how you told me about that rush you got when you cracked someone to death with your coils?" She smiles at you and nods.

"Come on, let's help get these two down." She says. "You want to do Silver or Gold first?"

>>24579743
Gold. Then Silver.

>>24579743
"That something you have to do from now on?"
Kind of important.

>>24579743
"... you might want to avoid doing that often."

>>24579743
"Yeah. Easy to get hooked on. Seductive.

I'm curious; does that make you...less hungry?"

>>24579743
"Let's take the gold one. She didn't get to close her eyes, when the time came. Only fair she's buried first."

>>24579743
"Yeah I remember. Interesting isn't? That feeling. But let's bury gold first. Wish we had names for them."

>>24579741
yes i meant after coral gate, we finish there then White Tree and kill Comedy, then back to Stone Hall to deal with the ship.

>>24579785
That's as good a reason as any.

I am really, really, really fucking dissapointed.

Not in echo, but just... I wanted to meet some lamia. At least once. Fucking dramatae. Fucking 500g bounty.

>>24579812
Taking out Comedy seems likely to trigger even more massive retaliation than we've already seen, and Leviathan is making me nervous.

>>24579829
leviathan first. It's the safest for our suckling baby civilization.

>>24579743
Trish, there's one very important part about that sensation I want you to never forget and it is how utterly subhuman a feeling it is. Allow yourself the satisfaction and the animal comfort that comes naturally from knowing the annihilation of your mortal foe, and hold the leash tight. Savoring it is what makes one a monster, and it's all too easy a mistake to make.

>>24579743
"Tricia, if you're going to be doing that from now on, I might stop feeling so guilty about helping myself to thirds and fourths at dinnertime."

>>24579743

Well, if this adventuring thing doesn't work out, at least we'll have a good chance of being successful taxidermists. Within limits, of course.

I keep hoping we find like, an egg, or hear "don't wanna be alone" or something.

But of course we won't.

>>24579853
We are *not* describing what Tricia did as "subhuman". We need more tact.

>>24579892
We haven't looked for one, yet. We do need to make one more pass over the tower before we leave, smelling and using our new eyes.

>>24579783
"Yeah. Easy to get hooked on. Seductive." You say. You shake your head and clear your throat.

"I'm curious; does that make you...less hungry?"

Tricia blushes and nods. "Sick. I know."

"That something you have to do from now on?" You ask.

"Well, seeing as I had a normal breakfast, I don't think so."

"Then you might want to avoid doing that often." You say.

Tricia nods. "Right. Right...that was...a little much. Sorry."

You wave it off. "Let's take the gold one. She didn't get to close her eyes, when the time came. Only fair she's buried first."

Tricia nods. You pull out the blades, close her eyes, and carry her down to the courtyard as gently as you can. She's just over 10 feet long. They were just entering the prime of their lives...

The others take Gold from you, and Lea and Mage start to clean up the body.

Mari comes up to you. "Mind if Peri and I poke around the tower some more?" She asks.

>>24579915
aye, we ought to do that, have tricia do it too.

>>24579892
We rolled too low to save anything from this.
Because despite being a hunter by profession we fail every tracking ever.

>>24579920
>Mari comes up to you. "Mind if Peri and I poke around the tower some more?" She asks.

"Sure, but not alone."

>>24579920
"We were planning as well once we were finished, at least the nest proper, want to see if there were any young involved."

>>24579920
"No, no please do. We might as well get what we can from a tragedy like this.

Maybe find something that could tell us what their names were?"

>>24579920
Play it carefully, and take Lea.

>>24579930
Yeah, that's one thing that's been bugging the fuck out of me in this quest.

>>24579920
"I'll come too, if you guys can mange the silver one by yourselves? I like to take a look around again."

>>24579893
Not the action, but the feeling. Point well made though. Animalistic is a better word for it mayhap? All i know is that I -really- don't want Tricia to let any of the changes to her body get to her head.

But these are concerns for another day; don't want to become -too- much like Dad with all this dread and duty and grim vigilance, etc.

>Yeah, that's one thing that's been bugging the fuck out of me in this quest.

We've had too many awesome crits for me to complain about low rolls.

"Sure, but not alone. We were planning as well once we were finished, at least the nest proper, want to see if there were any young involved."

Mari sighs. Peri comes out. "The kid's weirding out a little. All this...formal death and ceremony is upsetting to her." She sighs. "Weird, that all the death that we've been around. Is this is the first time we've just...stopped and let it sink in?"

Not on tracking i.e. the thing we're meant to be good at. I think the only time we crit'd a search roll was rerolling to find the boars and the oranges. And that doesn't count because we failed the first time.

"No, it builds up over time. And either you react like Mari, or you get used to it. I think Mari's is the saner reaction."

>>24580046
I wish we could take ten on shit like that, at least a cursory lookover, or at least have it apply for the initial inspection. I mean we are supposed to be rather observant.

>>24580010
"This is first time where were not rushing through a fight or chasing after some lead that might disappear. I think... her reaction is normal, truthfully. We shouldn't be so used to death and yet here we are."

>>24580046
If you start making conditions where "that doesn't count", you'll see constant hate in the dice. Not healthy.

>>24580046
To be fair, it's rather likely that Ssen was actually fed as a child and didn't have to hunt *every single day*. She's probably not quite as practiced as she should be. She also doesn't have much experience in places other than her home foresf in terms of hunting.

>>24580010
"The first time in a while, yeah. I suppose with the constant stream of Trauma, we remained numb for the most part. By his Light, this is so fouled up. The battlefield's no place for a child."

>>24580048
"No, it builds up over time. And either you react like Mari, or you get used to it. I think Mari's is the saner reaction." You say.

"Thank His Light for that." Peri says. "I'll help you with the other one, since Mari's taking a rest."

The three of you go back up to the room. Peri looks at the skeletons, looks at Tricia, raises and eyebrow, and then shakes her head.

"I...I don't think I'm going to do that again." Tricia says. "Ever." She looks a little green. "Ugh."

The three of you pick up Silver and carry her down.

>complete emotional breakdown

>>24580010
Most of the death we've seen has been enemies. A terrible excuse really, death is death no matter who it is. And even with the innocent's we come across we've been able to help survivors.

This was just murder, and there is nothing more we can do but clean up after it.

>>24580130
Yeah, you know fuck the dice.

>>24580130

You know. We should be at the point where where we can pass shit like this.

"Oh, this is the part where you throw up. Yeah, that'll happen. Mine was a wolf."

Wow. These rolls lately.

>>24580130
Stop failing so hard, geez.

>>24580140
That and we usually have a chance to do something about it. Here it was all over before we got here.

>>24580144
We don't even know what we're trying to pass.

>>24580145
Heh, yes, this. Sympathy time.

>>24580130
... fuck, I hope that wasn't to notice a little one.

>>24580164
probably perception check, we tend to roll very badly for those(the fake odette, the trapdoor, etc)

>>24580176
The little 1 indeed.

>>24580187

It might be one where we want to roll low, like something bad would happen. Maybe it is playing dead, and was going to bite someone...

>>24580176
Fortunately we failed to notice that 1.

>>24580187
The thing about the fake odette is we called the whole shadow clone/fake two rolls before we passed it.

>>24580130
No. No small breath, no faint little heartbeat, no small spark of life that refused to give up. That kind of thing is a Citadel wish. Make it better. Make it have a happy ending. No...not this time.

Silver is dead, and that's that.

Lea and Mage clean her up. Then you carefully wrap the pair together, so at least they have that. Then Tricia, Lea, and You lower them into the grave. A motion from Mage and the dirt slides back over them. Peri arranges two little stone piles.

Lea looks at you. You're the Paladin here. It is your duty to speak at times like this.

>>24580176
I'm glad that wasn't for anything.

Dice problems? You could always ask me for help...

Damn it, somebody draw adorable/raunchy fanart ffs. We need to replenish out rerolls by pandering to Echo!
