13th day of Prophecy, 12:35 pm, inside the Crusader camp.

It’s been half an hour after the end of your assignment and subsequent retreat away from the compound of the Flaming Fist where the cascade of events almost sent you in a bewildered rage thank to the reemergence of a certain old foe, the mind game of your mark and to top it all off Hieronymus Lex bodyguard infiltrated the place and had you hand over the key to your golem before you could exit prime and proper, you complied to give it given the fact that you were literally inside enemy territory.

Ahriman wouldn’t exactly allow you to go waltzing out with such a precious item despite his previous demeanor, you’ve got the sinking feeling his own plot is about to come to fruition and it’ll be far, far form good for anyone involved with you because if that man is anything like the predecessor you were forced to interact with, he’d try to scratch at your power base before trying to get at you properly.

You current situation is far from heartening, your mother was really spot on at least; if you don’t move today either you or some of the girls will be dead within the week.

‘’Paaaah…’’

You finally let out a dejected sigh and sit down on the single bed of your quarter, the magical tent is of course alive and well, projecting a fair amount of magical while the shielding and isolations runes flare up on the outside silk, this kind of protection is no doubt on the level of Ahriman personal quarter.

‘’Siggy’’

It didn’t take long for the affection-starved golem to come to your side, her usual pattern of saying your nickname and taking your hand repeated itself and her soothing presence, both physical and ethereal thank to the soul link, brought some much needed support to your hurricanes of emotions as the stress of your previous mission came crashing down –hard- but you didn’t allow yourself a moment rest.

Kyorn is probably going to hold one hell of a grudge, getting spanked by an oversized spiked shield resting on a bigger giant of metal is bound to cause some grievous wounds; if he wasn’t a hero you’d cross him as dead for sure with the nasty adjustment the old dwarf did to that basic spell.

‘’Siegfried’’

Right as you tightened your free hand in a fist when mulling over the mission, the sound of your name finally prompt you out of this dangerous melancholy; you meet eyes with the pair of brilliant red belonging to your bodyguard, she’s sitting on the desk and glowering with disapproval while assuming a perfectly neutral stance, you can’t help but gulp as a shiver run down your spine but your eyes fall to her wounded hand and you notice the missing finger immediately.
‘’Ithel hasn’t finished y-‘’

‘’No’’

She interjects fast, cutting right into your speech.

‘’She tried, but it take longer to make a prosthetic. Don’t worry yourself about it, this wound won’t reduce my effectiveness in the slightest’’

Even if you have your doubt about that it’s a much better idea to stay silent, else you wound the pride of this scary lady.

‘’Sorry to interrupt…’’

The one you were fervently waiting for finally appear; Leila break into the middle of your tent in a slow stride as she was forced to keep it slow due to the magical shields, the Purifier is garbed in battle gear from the get go, her back support a particularly large serpentine sword; a flamberge held together by a special middle sheath while sporting mails under her religious vestment cut short for practically in the field, she quickly throw you a pair of shackles and Mylen grunt in disapproval.

‘’Her magical weapon will be brought by Ithel, she’ll set out for the encampment a few minutes after we do… anyway there’s a situation amidst the higher ups; a fair few Inquisitor have been sent all along the perimeter the secure the area while the biggest chunk of the Flaming Fist were given the honor of bringing the great Holy weapon ashore, Lex has finally deemed the area secure enough to allow it’’

As she talked her left hand was posed atop the pommel of the Holy blade, squeezing the rotund metal free of decorations.

‘’The whole ceremony is starting in around 10 minutes, it was scheduled for noon but there’s been… a few hiccups, namely with two simultaneous sorties’’

Finally she stop, punctuating the end of her speech with a heavy sigh as she eyes you, Mylen, then Emeth with a closed emotionless face very befitting an agent like her.

‘’Where did you get this information?’’

Mylen finally ask, nailing the girl with a fierce stare as she examines her up and down for weakness.

‘’I’ve still got some contacts with the Purifiers’’

She answer back with a smug smile, prompting the succubus to drop the subject entirely as her brow knit in frustration while putting her eyes back on the metal shackles in your hands.

‘’Are you still going to proceed with the plans we’ve talked about yesterday? I’ve no idea why they need such a big military presence for security but it’s working out for us, at least for now, do you think Ahriman will refuse you entry?’’

A very likely possibility, regardless, now is the time to think things through; you’ve already come up with a plan and do you stick to it, or try to adjust accordingly? You don’t have long to make up your mind.

At least the silent squeeze from the golem soothes your worries, if only on the surface

Is this suppose to be a what do?

>>28235691

Sort of, you can go over the plan and adjust it or set out at once.

>>28235587
Ok... We need an excuse to be here between 3 and 4 if memory serves and we did pique Ahriman's interest with a BS story about Mylen being a regenerator.

So a torture session around those times should be a good enough excuse and may draw in the target, though he will likely bring a security detail with him to make things difficult.

And where would we set out to exactly? Because it sounds like Zipangu is about to get royally fucked by what has to be the friggin' Nuke.

>>28235817

Set out for Ahriman encampement, the ''time limit'' is around 3/4 pm but yo ucan go sooner if you wish.

And don't sorry, the nuke won't explode, their jsut prepping it which cause some very dangerous things

>>28235817
Emeth was supposed to be part of the counter-measure against the Holy Nuke that Tsu expected the Church to deploy. We need to get it back to Tsu so that we can effectively counter the nuke.

Ahriman, given how paranoid he is, will bring a security detail; we need to plan to kill them all.

>>28235895
I don't suppose that we could get ourselves and our friends out of here and you know, hit the detonator as we portal out?

>>28235955
You wish I bet Orion's the main thing juicing it up. It's his baby, he won't let anybody touch his baby.

Good thing for us, that means he'll be occupied while we do this. Which is what is even giving us a chance.

>>28235955

Trust me when I say that detonating the nuke would cause some VERY BAD THINGS.

So the consensus is to go over the battle plan and out we go? Aight, writing now

>>28235986
Effective range on that monster? I mean, are we talking Hiroshima, an H-Bomb, or have they whipped out the fuckin' Tsar Bomba on this bitch?

>>28236020

It's a Holy nuke, it's much more akin to a ICBM carrying a payload of biological warfare than the devastation caused by your regular nuke. So the effective range is hard to pinpoint, but the Church/angels objective is to detonate it around the midpoint of Zipangu to spread it evenly.

>>28235977
>>28235986
gotcha. So no wiping out entire invasion force and everybody who is highly invested in killing off the monsters, then blaming it on "those stupid fucks tried to MESS WITH THINGS MAN WASN'T MEANT TO MEDDLE WITH! ALL FOR HATRED! AND LOOK WHAT IT GOT THEM!?"

>>28236047
Oh... holy power, so it'd do jack all to humans.

Yeah. Forget it. unless we can flip a switch somewhere and turn it to fire or water based, then better to just take our chance, kill the inquisitor, contact the head of the church and let him take over before they can launch the sucker and disarm it.

FUCK!!! That was my worst case scenario I didn't want to feed to you! Oh man this is bad, so very, very bad! If those twin-linked forts fall it's all over!

Goddamned WMD's. They make tactics and strategy pointless.

>>28236078

Activating it =/= launching. TherE's no proper method of delivery so the nuke has to self destruct to deliver it's payload, what's happening today is more or less a vital preliminary step and it's the one giving the opportunity we need.

>>28236078
Again, Emeth was made specifically to counter a holy nuke because she's designed to fucking eat magic. Tsu mentioned it more than once that's what Emeth was meant to be, a strategic defense system against the Church's known Holy WMD.

>>28236099
What the fuck are you talking about? We knew about this scenario when Emeth was being put together. We've known about this for months now.

>>28236104
>>28236106
So basically, we have Emeth who'll eat all that holy magic up if it's detonated?

and we're using this as our window?

Fine. Let's review battleplans and get this ball rolling. Make sure everything is in place, let's top this fucker.

>>28236106
Couldn't Siggy eat the Holy element from the nukes too? I mean it'd be a hilariously bad idea given that we've seen what the Beast looks like when he's had enough to eat.

>>28236179
>Couldn't Siggy eat the Holy element from the nukes too?
Technically, he could. Not recommended, because of what you mentioned, and that much magical energy might be problematic.
We may be a demi-god, but our body seems to be decidedly mortal.

>>28236199
So we'd pop like a tick in otherwords.

OR. It might kill the corrupt eater...

neither is really very good.

>>28236225
>So we'd pop like a tick in otherwords.
More like burn out like a circuit rated for 5 watts having 5 jigawatts pushed through it.
We need INH to confirm if this analogy is correct, however.

>>28236263

I'd better stay silent on the consequences, but let's just say eating the whole thing alone would be very, very bad.

Here it is folks, now less than 40 pages long!

As you remember the time set forth by your mother, some tension finally filter out of your body as you put forth your command, going over the plan you’ve come up with yesterday is simply vital as your about to set out; you’ve got to prepare yourself for the possibility that everything will spiral out of control very, very fast.

‘’Let’s go over what we know’’

This single sentence bring a payload of tension as everyone, even Emeth, prepare themselves mentally for coming conflicts and the possibility of death; your rather glad that Ithel is absent, the girl isn’t suited for conflicts at all, she’s the type of person that has whole lot of trouble handling combat stress, probably a trauma caused by the activation of her greatest experiment.

‘’Alright, the method of infiltration is rather straightforward; the three of you are escorting me to the compound where I’ll be tortured once more, with Ithel coming a few minutes later with some alchemical drugs and apparatus to make this session ‘’memorable’’

Mylen stop and stand from her seat, deploying the set of wings at her hips and slowly gliding her hand along the leftmost one surface while nodding at you, you throw the shackles and she catch it with obvious grumpiness.

‘’Her wares are going to be inspected thoroughly, but me and Emeth helped her make some legit stuff, mostly some drugs and hallucinogenic gasses which could be sued in a pinch… as long as I should all of you anyway. Once we in Siegfried should come up with an excuse to see the High Inquisitor while I and Ithel remain on standby, ready to free Mylen and give her the weapons she need. Are you fine with this flamberge?’’

Next was Leila and her question was met with a solemn, silent nod. Mylen isn’t one to use greatswords; however she has exercised with every kind of weaponry you can imagine, she’ll just have to be a little more careful with that missing finger.

‘’That’s not a whole lot to go with but I suppose it’s better than nothing, you’ll just have to avoid screwing up’’

Mylen remark bring a chuckle out of you, that vote of confidence is most certainly unique and if you didn’t know her any better you’d swear she’d be patronizing.

‘’I don’t intend to, I suppose the presence of the Flaming fist will be minimal?’’

Leila nods.

‘’10 or so if were very unlucky’’

Much better than the 20ish numbers you’ve seen strolling around the place, Lex came through wonderfully well by cutting the effective resistance in half. You’ve also got some idea of Ahriman quarters, a rather big tent placed in the northeastern corner of that little fortress masked by the command tent…

You’ve also got an ally on the inside; bringing it up won’t change anything at all to your current plans and thus, are you ready to go, or which to make some adjustments?

I was very tempted to use Maou as faceclaim

>>28236502
I think we're ready to go. But I don't suppose those hallucinagenics vaporize on contact with air? We could palm one of them and if we could secure something to keep the air clean for ourselves, we could use it to fuck up any protections he DOES have and stab him right then and there while his guards are busy chasing the pixies or trying to pull the snakes out of their hair.

If not, proceed as planned and let's get this show boat moving.

>>28236628
Won't hallucinogens be counteracted by going into Focus? That's what happens to being drunk and alcohol in the system.

>>28236628

Nah they don't, the fume stay for a few minutes before dissapear. Don't forget that embracing Focus is an auto dis-poison, but it's still a very valuable tool to toy with since it'll still affect combat mages to a very lesser degree.

>>28236658

That drug wil lbring an automatic decrease in concentration given the energy needed to combat the drug.

>>28236502
We're fucked but this is our only chance to save everyone. Let's go, may the dice be with us.

>>28236601
Daiyu and Maou would get along, similar goals and whatnot. She'd even give her pointers on how to seduce and "properly" bed Hero using all that Useless Meat. Not sure how Maou would react to that topic though.

Well it's still useful for knocking his body guards out of action right?

But yeah, it doesn't last long enough to give us a proper kill-escape window. Which is a pitty

God I wish this was like Jim Butcher's Alera series. We could just use water and plants to fuck over the entire castle, then one fire ball and the entire place falls apart.

How to get the best prices in town, best corners to work, how to inspect the solidity of the currency coming into the establishment so no monstergirl gets cheated into a night of passion for free with counterfeit coin...

>>28236865

Please, Morrigan is perfect.

>>28236907
Didn't work out too well for him now did it? What with the whole burning for heresy and all.

It would also make trade much more difficult. Labor in itself is very difficult to quantify and link to a set value as each unit of labor is not a fungible asset.

One hour of work on the farm is not the same as one hour of work healing people up in a hospital or one hour spent by a blacksmith forging a quality sword and so on. These many uses of one's time and labor have a very different values depending on circumstances. Many have toyed with the idea of such a system, but could never work out the hard numbers. Anyone thus attempting to use such a system would consequently wreck their economy as price discovery would become damn near impossible.

Also essentially impossible to enforce in a medieval type setting. Not nearly enough boots on the ground and computers aren't a thing. It wouldn't work, thus the people would just use gold coin instead on the black market. Or Gresham's Law would kick in. That's not a good thing.

No one has yet, even in the modern world with access to things like supercomputers. I doubt they ever will. Many different systems have been tried in ages past up to today but they always end up failing long term. Once they fail the people always return to Gold and Silver until they get suckered into or forced into another system. Said system always collapse eventually though, usually with the ruling powers. As I said, great nations and empires are rarely brought down by means other than financial collapse. People lose faith in the money, then in most everything else. It gets pretty chaotic at that point.

You can check the historical record, but people never seem to learn. I guess the promise of "economic equality", the dreams of conquest, and/or the allure of the impossible thing known as "the free lunch" always gets em'. If only they knew about economics.

BunnyBlack. Pornographic VN/tactical RPGs about a nominal hero who attacks the demon lord, is killed, and then revived on the condition that he serves the demon lord. You spend the games defending Maou, sexing up the demons working for her, and giving the D to the female adventurers who attack the dungeon.

The porn's pretty vanilla given the protagonist is going full Rance, but the RPG component is pretty hardcore. No translation sadly.

‘’Were ready’’

You finally say, slowly rising form the bed and letting go of Emeth, the golem doesn’t protest but still stay at your side, synchronizing her steps with yours as you approach the raven haired succubus whose hands are now bound by this crude shackle, nothing like the elaborate magical chains, they also look much easier to break. Still, you give her a little headpat and she scowl as her cheek redden slightly.

‘’I’ll be sure to read that book after this mess is over’’

She shake her head and look into your eyes, her set of ruby glower as always thank to the corruption in her blood.

‘’You best be ready to commit’’

Her answer puzzle you somewhat but she scoff and walk away, stopping a few steps before the exit while you and Leila exchange a glance, the Purifier was obviously taken aback by the sudden display of closeness and keep scratching the back of her head, producing waves in her elegant hair as she look back and forth between the two of you.

‘’Well… let’s go’’

--

Your position took the part of a column with of course, you at the helm; you exited your quarters while clearing out every single personal belonging you’ve had, the baggage’s and books you bought for Mylen as a gift were given to Ithel and Mylen was quite adamant in making damn sure they’d be brought back.

‘’Ah!’’

Of course, the little alchemist was out of her tent and detaching some kind of metallic apparatus, she froze while seeing your group and sort of stared in disbelief until Leila spoke.

‘’You’ll be coming to deliver what we need, yes? Thank you, Madame Hermingild.

‘’Right, right… see ya later’’

Tense, but one has to keep up appearance, the girl is doing well as far as your concerned and once you cross eyes, you nod in silence and she let out a long weary sigh, next you prepare to-.

Out of nowhere the black jade in your pocket start to vibrate insistently, right as you start walking into the core of the camp mostly deserted by now, the soldiers on standby look none too happy to be forced to do a whole lot of nothing but their numbers has dramatically decreased and you pass by many empty tents while the sounds of footstep isn’t trampling any other anymore, here and there you hear the faraway clunks of hammer on anvil while the closest men and woman complain under their breath as you pass by, your little group standing out far too much amidst this brouhaha.

All the while the jewel continues to vibrate…

You slow your stride, slip your hand in your pocket and grip the jade, this momentary slip of attention is very bad indeed but you trust the woman at your back to pick up the slack, the fact you’re walking slower and more methodically should already give out that you’ve readied your guard.

‘’About to kill the High Inquisitor, will cut out shortly’’

The person on the other end is obviously taken aback as you hear a sharp intake of breath followed by a few seconds long silence, fueling your frustration and prompting you to speak out.

‘’Speak!’’

‘’S-sorry!’’

What? This voice…

‘’Amarantha?’’

The process of elimination is rather simple; you’ve talked at great length with Daiyu and Belphegor while Bletsia can’t speak out for herself, what in the world would motivate her to actually reach out to you…?

‘’I’m sorry! It’s just that… look they didn’t want to bother you, but you’ve got to finish your business fast; Daiyu… I mean the Demon Lord sickness has worsened considerably and she’s… she’s going to die’’

Then you hear a potent voice in the background, the distinctive tired tone of Belphegor bellow in obvious distress ‘’Ama! Come on help me out here, I’ll need some of your blood!’’

The Oni let out a long sigh but her mellowed voice speaks out despite the obvious agitation around her.

‘’Sorry for disturbing you, I just didn’t know what to do… but I’d like you to save her just like you did for me.’’

Then the contact is cut by a distinctive sound reminding you of squashed paper and the Jade disappear from your hand, going back inside your body as it always did to camouflage itself perfectly.

But that’s not all, as you finally pick up the pace you feel a slight tug behind you and look back to your procession, Mylen is of course behind you while Leila from up the guard behind her with Emeth finishing the march, the golem is watching everything around her with clear hostile intent as her square eyes intimidate everyone she look at; what catch your eyes however, is your bodyguard hands. Her fingers are crossed together and you see a raised index as she look at you momentarily, then look down and very, very subtly her lisp to form one silent word…

Do we care? We're about to torture the succubus and we're getting the necessary materials. Nothing to be suspicious of.

Oh who am I kidding. Is there a way we can get around a blind corner? Time to start the mission.

>>28237980
Oh so we're being followed is it? How much farther until we arrive at the torture chamber?

>>28237980
The tail could either be one of Ahriman's, which is expected and doesn't change the plan; or it's the agent if Deruella, which could be good or bad.
They will be an impediment when we make our escape, but could also be a distraction for our pursuers.

I think we should stick with the plan for now.

>>28238047

You've got some good distance, around 5 to 8 minutes

Just wait for the second coming of the double crit. Hahaha!

No need to answer back, Mylen stops trying to pass the message as you turn around; your currently walking along the path of forges with many, many an array of weapons neatly put on display while the many artisans toil away making new stuff or repairing the old and trusted armaments of soldiers, it’s not exactly populated or active compared to the bigger, regular pathways and it’s perfectly fine for you.

Thus you proceed on to your destination without seeing anything odd for a few minutes, however the scenery change into a denser patch of tents as you step into area where fresh recruit, just out of the sea, are stationed and here it’s a bit of a confusing amalgam with its fair share of armored women rousing to attention as you pass by and, of course, you keep to your role and salute them back, looking as you do behind you to find anything, anything at-.

You spot a familiar looking young male garbed in the array of soldiers squatting down between two closed tent, only the top of his face is showing and many people obscure him but he’s in an effective blind spot that give a very nice view of your group while leaving him suspicious only to a few lucky stares, like yours; he’s holding a strange elongated open tube to his mouth and take in a quiet intake of breath as he look at Leila.

>’’SHIELD HER!’’

And you do, you and the Beast move as one as you embrace focus right as he launch a dart of this strange weapon; a transparent screen completely engulf the blond flank and a single projectile plink into it uselessly, stopping your procession immediately while the culprit already took off running and right now, you’ve finally remembered who he is.
It’s one of the independent adventurers employed by Audo Tius.

‘’What…?’’

Your sudden display made several men and women jump at attention, everyone now look at you curiously and you let go of Focus as you walk toward the little thing, scoop down to pinch it in-between finger and thumb but it’s already crumpling away into dust as you pick it, however a tiny black smudge spread on your fingers and quickly enter your body itself where… a certain hungry squatter feast on a snack.

Corruption.

A dart filled with a tiny amount of corruption aimed at Leila.

What do you do? Keep in mind you’ve caused a bit of a commotion with soldiers all around you, you’re not far from the Flaming Fist compound at least.

Excellent.

We can use this chance to ask for Audo to appear before us and our mark on an explanation as to wtf is going on.

Then we can slaughter them both.

>>28238586
Wait...this could be a lucky break. We can use this attack as an excuse to go into Ahriman's area, citing how we can no longer trust the security if the camp. We get Ahriman's guards to then reinforce the perimeter, leaving only his bodyguards and reducing the number of people we have to contend with.

>>28238638
>>28238666

Keep in mind that the projectile has dissapeared and the corruption is eaten, you've got no other proof than your words.

>>28238604
That Harkonnen wannabe motherfucker! Send the troops after the bastard. We are an inquisitor after all, we do have authoritah.

I do wonder what the corruption would have done to Leila. As a holy mage she should be able to negate it but at the same time it appears once inside the body it is exponentially harder to expunge. And who knows the type.

If Tius is allied with Deruella then he could have gotten some VERY exotic ammunition from the felwhore herself. Even a little of that could have insta-converted poor Leila. either into her agent or worse, into a succubus.

What about the people here? Did any of them see the dart crumble?

Bah, even if we don't have evidence, there was an incident of some kind and we only need the ruse to work for the few moments it takes to get to Ahriman and kill him. It doesn't have to hold up in a court of law.

>>28238699

>Send the troops after the bastard.

Do you guys wish to do this? Also, Church has studied corruption extensively too, one cannot ''expunge'' corruption from a person, only Siegfried has been able to do this, once corrupted it stay there forever but Holy can put it in a sort of stasis.

Corrupted agents tend to lose some serious reputations...

No.

If we send troops, they are likely to bring the offender wish us to the tent.

This increases the number of enemy combatants against us.

It might be possible to do this at the compound of the flaming fist, causing Ahriman to send even more of his own men away from his vicinity.

>>28239043
Apprehension is not guaranteed, if they do somehow apprehend him we have proof we were attacked, and if not than at least nothing looks funny. Who the fuck casts a spell for no damned reason?

>>28239087
True, but we are in custody of an important prisoner, a freelance Purifier was attacked while under our employ, and we know the face of the attacker.
Not getting the target and our Very Important Prisoner to someplace secure as our priority would be just as suspicious.

True enough but i'd like to reduce any chance of an increased enemy presence.

Still, suspicion is enough to summon him for a talk.And Titus knows it too. He knows we have no evidence and will be more than happy to come and flaunt that fact.

And we don't need to prove that he did it, just to make him be there so we can kill him.

>>28239166
See as much as delicious revenge and the dispensing of justice is concerned I'm a hardcore pragmatist. We have one target, he's gotta go. Anyone else is just gravy, gravy that might be able to fight back BTW.

Point and conceded.

We can not mention it to our mark and if questioned, say we'll pursue it ourselves if he asks.

>>28239166
I kinda agree with Anon here. We should try for the twofer.

Also, just saying, if we DON'T report it ourselves, and someone DOES report this incident to the inquisitor, isn't he going to get suspicious as to WHY we didn't report it?

>>28239255
Oh, we're definitely reporting it. I'm just hoping that if Tius does come along he's alone. He doesn't much seem the combat type.

Still, in combat the priority target is Ahriman, once he's down we plug everyone else in the immediate vicinity and break for that damn circle and gate out before the whole damn army is shoved straight up our heretical ass!

You continue rubbing your fingers together and abandon Focus, looking at your skin the only stain you see is the remnant of the dart which look simply like a dirty patch of dirt, the shield protecting the Purifier fade away and many soldiers talk amongst themselves as a slight current of agitation travel among the small retinue of people.

‘’Let’s go’’

You simply say, standing up and looking at the clear blue eyes of your dear friend, the girl is obviously taken aback and you put a hand on her shoulder and tap it gently before letting go.
‘’Back to your stations, men!’’

You bellow next while glaring at everyone you could; the adventurer was wearing a crusader uniform, there’s no doubt that he quite simply put it back on and went into a tent to wait, sending all of these people on a wild chase is bound to be very counterproductive and you’d have to look over them one by one; something impossible with your strict schedule.

Thus you resume your walk, this time with everyone guard so high a flea would get stuck in invisible walls, Mylen tries her best to make herself look scarce but the wings don’t exactly help and now that you’ve effectively brushed aside the soldier’s worries many of them go back to muttering about the succubus under their breath, before long you finally reach your destination without further incident, the tail obviously gone as you step closer to Ahriman headquarter, the occasion for nefariousness has obviously gone up in smoke with that failure.

You also had some worry about Ithel, given that Leila was targeted she’d make a rather obvious next target but the agitation created just now could dissuade any further attempts… or maybe not, the amount of corruption in that dart was nowhere near enough to corrupt Leila completely, it’ll just have worked to mark her with the stuff and nothing more; how could that help the high Inquisitor? Ithel isn’t really linked to the Church, simply an employer but they can’t remove her thoughtlessly either…even if the higher up are busy doing something, there's been an increase on the ships on the horizon and there's a constant Holy pulse coming from them.

--

The compound of the Flaming Fist is as uninviting as ever, the entire thing is walled in by thick wall of logs with sharpened end well over two meters with the main gate stationed by three men, one atop, one out front and the last one behind; many torches have also been lit despite it being only a little past midday and from the cracks of the gate you can see some agents taking care of some other flames as he or she pray before it.

A tough nut to crack to be sure, you post yourself in front of the gate and start talking.

‘’My name is Siegfried Shieffer, I have come here as scheduled and request access to the compound!’’

Your answer is quick, the man in front with his big build and concealed face doesn’t acknowledge you in the least and simply stare on for a few tens of silent seconds.

‘’Our father refuse you access, mister Shieffer’’

What…?

‘’Your retinue may enter and put the prisoners in chains, but until further notice, we are not to allow you access inside’’

….

What do you do?

>>28239370
Fuck this fucking fucker I already know what he's planning. I hope Ishmael did a good job of infiltration here, we need her to give them "further notice" within the next few minutes.

>>28239370
Can't we just say that we were just attacked by some goon with a corruption dart?

That's a decent enough reason to be let in, surely.

>>28239503
Unless she's been caught and that's the problem. Cause if we leave her by herself, she's fucked.

"Then when will I be allowed access? The father asked to be present during the next sessions with my prisoner."

You allow your emotions to show, frustration and surprise mix very well to make you feel as genuine as possible.

Of course the sentinel is undaunted and behind you your retinue is thankfully staying silent, but Leila is just about to break off from her position and trample the poor man.

‘’It is not my place to know, only to deliver these order, sire. Our Father is preparing himself mind and body for an upcoming, important ritual in a few hours and he said that you would need to stay out for the time being, but preparations for your prisoner can be accommodated by your retinue’’

Might as well be talking to a wall, Ahriman doesn’t’ want you in and unless you’ve got a good reason to speak to him… you’ll have to see yourself out while letting your friends in the belly of the beast.

Good point.

Raise this with the guard, ask him to pass that news to ahriman. Maybe it'll be our ticket in.

INH, what time is it? Is it the lowest guard time? Also how out of view is the entrance to the flaming fist compound? Can we kill the guard and let ourselves in without drawing attention?

>>28239568
Tell them that there's been an assassination attempt upon our prisoner, she might know something of even more importance than we realized if someone has attempted to infiltrate the camp specifically to kill her.

>>28239700

It's around 1 pm, give or take and from what you've seen there's around 5 agents patrolling the inner compound with the majority around the gate; there's two other Inquisitor here so killing one is bound to be very noticeable.

>>28239568
Urgh. Really don't care to split the party.

No matter what, keep Emeth nearby, we want her away from Bedevere.

>>28239769
A 50/50 split of the party is even worse. If we do go this route we will send them all in and wait. Perhaps Ishmael is waiting for our retinue to show up so she can deliver the "orders" to allow us in.

Until that time they will all be very vulnerable, Leila especially. I just know Ahriman is the one who put out the hit and that he expected Tius's people to pull it off so that it couldn't trace back to him in any way.

‘’On my way to this compound someone tried to assassinate my prisoner’’

The bluntness of your statement taken aback all of the Inquisitor listening in, you see him leaning forward to look at the passive Mylen with intensity as his brown eyes flow between the two of you, then over Leila and Emeth, all emotions drained from his face nothing but cold hard logic could sway him and you can tell he seem to trust you; news of your various accomplishments have trickled to the other Flaming Fist; it’s the only acknowledgement you’ll be getting.

‘’Why didn’t you report it?’’

You make sure to avoid smiling smugly as you answer back quickly.

‘’Because our foes obviously prepared for this contingency, we’ve got to play it smart and keep to our strength I’ve done some good work for Ahriman for the past two days and I wish to continue while keeping this precious prisoner secure’’’

The most important thing in trying to convince someone of a lie is to be completely and utterly emotionless; you look at the Inquisitor straight in the eyes and barely make any incriminating expression, you’ve got to find the right spot and never go back on your word, your righteousness, your own truth.

‘’Abil’’

And then a soft voice warped by metal break into the silence, snapping everyone at attention as the Inquisitor behind the gate speaks up.

‘’Let him in, our father order were strict but we can’t allow this development to be ignored; we’ve all been taught what happen when some orders are obeyed enough to render us blind. I can take fall for you, too, we’ll just have to say I was the sentry posted outside’’

The pale green eyes behind the minimalistic metal mask are more than a telltale sign of that person identity.

‘’I don’t think you’ll be able to meet him for a while, but… I can see your plight, alright. Come in’’

Finally, the small gate open after the red robbed man step away, the woman that interjected bow her head to you as you step inside and quickly walk backward, then whirl around to march forward silently while you and the girls follow, no need for wasted breath as everyone in this place as a purpose and you quickly scan the area for agents.

You count around 8. 2 of them on the gate, one of them in the middle of camp preparing various torches and a few others sparsely patrolling the length of the fortress with a single one guarding the command tent while, which also oversaw the entrance to Ahriman quarters; his tent defense was active, shielding it in Holy magic.

As you step into the torture tent, Mylen visibly tense up as several Inquisitor look at your posse with enough interest that it could only be an order.

‘’I trust you have what it take to keep her secure?’’

The woman ask, finally turning around to look you in the eyes… and then shift her gaze toward Leila who is leading Mylen further inside while Emeth tilt her head and narrows her brows, a feeling of déjà vue filter through the link.

What do you do?

>Taking a little 20 muntes break, time for the plot to thicken...

Both would consider it most auspicious if the other were to exit the stage, permanently. Us turning traitor gives them a way to do that which won't reflect badly on Lex.

Leila lead Mylen toward one of the chair and roughly shove the succubus into it while fiddling with the shackles, the scenery of the room is very much the same sans the fog machine, the alchemical machines are deactivated and most of the tables are free of tools aside from a few knives and metal crooks, you still see the splash of bloods from your handiwork yesterday…

‘’Good, good’’

The woman answer and start walking toward the exit but doesn’t actually go outside, she slowly pull the drape aside to look out in silence while Emeth close in, peering over her up and down and walking around while sniffing the air, narrowing her eyes as keep looking at the Inquisitor up and down while the link tell of her emotions being a mixture of insistence slight frustration at the inability of grasping what she want.

‘’Sire your golem is acting strange…’’

Leila point out the obvious and said woman is now in a staring match with Emeth…

‘’Your cute’’

The warped voice says before closing the tent, turning around and proceeds to take off the mask.

‘’Is-‘’

‘’Ah-‘’

And then as if on cue, an extremely potent wave of pure raw magical energy come from deep in the coast like an invisible weightless tsunami; absurdly intense magical pressure spread throughout the entire camp and you can’t help but cough as you feel your thorax constricting under such raw might, the tent even shake under the invisible, almost weightless energy that is quickly sucked back the way it came; leaving naught but very surprised mages in its wakes.

‘’Look like they’ve started’’

Ismael slowly speak while peeking, the various Inquisitors have obviously been taken completely by surprise but there’s nothing overtly dramatic going on; just people making certain everyone else is fine.

What in the world was that…?

‘’We’ve got some minutes; mind explaining me what you’re about to do?’’

You’d very much prefer knowing what in damnation those angels are doing.

‘’Ismael…’’

Leila speak with obvious longing, all pretense of dignity thrown out the window as she look at her godmother with a great mixture of emotions and the woman shake her head sadly.

‘’Not now, dear’’

What do you do?

>>28241051
It's only our group and Ismael, and she wants to see Ahriman gone just as much as we do.
So, as soon as Ahriman enters the tent, we shank him in the kidney's (which I've heard is so excruciatingly painful that a person cannot even scream, due to the pain) and kill his bodyguards, and then make our escape as quickly as we can.

Who asked "We’ve got some minutes; mind explaining me what you’re about to do?’’ Is Ismael asking for our plan, or is Siggy asking for hers?

Ah, in that case:

"We're waiting for our opportunity. The signal will be a golden butterfly. After that... depends on where we all are. Ahriman has to die though, and if we can grab it I want his knife. After that we're going to use the Inquisition's teleporter to jump to Zipangu territory. Should I inform Queen Ame that Lex wants a ceasefire and a meeting?

"This might be mixing business and pleasure, but I'll also be killing a certain burnt blonde."

Bugger all you fuckers figured it out, something that even Ismael overlooked.

>>28241722
We know Ishmael infiltrated successfully. Or at least, it's highly likely. Given that we stand to gain a very powerful ally in the coming fight if we share it.

Gotta share it smartly though.

Ok just say. "Hmmm... I guess the blue eyes do resemble hers but there's no way. Sorry, my bodyguard tends to spurt things out like that. I find it a cute little glitch. As for my intentions I'm going to sit right here and wait for our Father to finish his preparations so that we may administer another session. She's obviously more valuable than we thought, given the attempt on her life just now."

Same guy, we do that as we find a piece of paper and write out our plan as quietly as possible. Gotta ally his suspicions after what he almost certainly just heard. Add to it "Have you forgotten just how well prepared and paranoid this guy is!?"

>>28241758
Almost went full retard again. Thankfully, we caught ourselves before we committed a grave error in judgement.

‘’I think you already know.’’

You answer back, looking at Leila momentarily while Mylen drop her mask given the very unusual behavior of the Inquisitor; instead she narrows her gaze and look square in the eyes of the red robbed woman, trying her best to appear dignified and intimidating.

Then… then a flash of genius.

Right as you were about to lower your guard to speak to your ally in the place you belonged; you remember the nature of your foe and this is HIS fortress, HIS home, HIS rules are prevalent and you immediately snap your jaw shut and look around in earnest without being able to spot anything, it’s highly likely that the runes allowing one way communications have been woven directly into the fabric of this very tent and so, given that there is a total absence of pen and papers, you embrace and enchant the tip of your finger while everyone else look at you as if you’ve grown demented beside Emeth who simply tilt her head in puzzlement, going ‘’Eh?’’.

«He’s listening on us»

This sentence written in short live, levitating ice completely change everyone expression; Ismael look absolutely devastated and almost slap her face in realization, the girl must have been in under a lot of pressure in this undercover assignment, beside, it’d take a man with your kind of paranoia to be able to figure it out.

You just understand that Ahriman a little too well.

‘’…It should be time to talk about it’’

Leila suddenly say and you spin your mind in earnest, trying to weave a story in second and you immediately support her, praying to your mother that these women are not only strong of arm, but quick witted to boot.

‘’Unfortunately not, I know this girl has been trying to enroll you to the Flaming Fist Leila, but I wouldn’t want to speak of this with the demon listening in
constantly. Besides, it’s high time you let go of your crush of that –other- woman’’

You make sure to put some venom in that word and finally, Ismael pick up the pieces while Emeth look around all of you in complete confusion.

‘’I know she’d be a great asset; free agents get snatched up in the orders relatively quickly, I’m sorry for my eagerness sire, but I think the girl should make up her mind.’’

‘’Regardless!’’

You cut in while writing fervently, making up a single sentence in cold ice to levitate in the air.

«I aim to kill Ahriman; I just need an opportunity to get closer to his tent»

Then you start talking as Ismael start writing with her magic, modifying the shield into a golden fume and using two fingers to form her letters.

‘’I intend to stay here and prepare a masterpiece of a session for the Father, I know he’s busy but given the fact that there was an attempt on the life of my prisoner very recently, I intend to keep her here, this fortress is the safest place on the island’’

«He’s in his tent and it’s magically reinforced. We’ll have to pierce it; I think he’s in there with that new agent»

You wonder if your mother will be able to help… doubtful, she’s given you this opportunity, you sincerely doubt she’d be able to actively act upon the world; the only thing she’ll do is give you some sort of sign.

Which might come sooner than anticipated, however this crafty bastard almost had you. Almost.

You'd be suprised how easy it is to overlook things when under pressure.

Now then I have a question for you guys, concerning the prequel.

It's more or less ready to go, would you like it if I do it after this arc? Also, would you guys prefer if I do it on /tg/, or move that prequel to that anonkun site in order to avoid cluttering up /tg/ with even more quest, especially since the prequel schedule will be a tad irregular.

I love the thing. It's finally gonna see some heavy use. Noscrim was a physical type so it didn't do much good on her. Ahriman is magus Shiki.

Thanks to this we'll actually be able to overwhelm him. Without it, he'd just cut our projectiles and block the ones that got through easily. We'd run dry before he did and then we get sliced.

Why she gave it to us. It was required to be able to beat this fucktard.

>>28243310
Damn that's lewd (in the good way). But yeah, without manaphage, in that picture, he's Shiki, and we're Berserker. That's how it would have ended. Not good, for us I mean.

Could have been worse. Though if she is so pure even getting her into a bed will be quite a task. All she wants is to cuddle, kiss, and hold hands and is actually totally satisfied with that. Getting lewd is...unnecessary for her own satisfaction.

And yes, Wil needed to get the NICE BOAT end for the shit he pulled. Or meet this girl. Either way, justice would have been served. I mean fuck at least Rance is honest about the shit he pulls. Not any higher on the moral totem pole but I can at least respect honest douchebaggery and/or evil. Do it to peoples' faces at least, all I ask of a protag.

That's putting it way too far, beside the girls in Kamidori love him way too much for that, he's jsut able to do what he want and they'll put up with it regardless.

I'm sure that if ONE of them confronted him about it, his balls would have shrunk back in his body.

At least in this quest Siggy never really hid his greedy love and none of the girls are left in the dark about it, this fucking war is pushing all relationship aside anyway.

Need her back anyway, Her and Hadraniel double team Orion as we and the rest hold off the reinforcements he's bound to summon until Tsu and Ame get off the "Fuck You All We Are Wizards!" Bullshit spell that will seal the deal and ensure victory. Everything goes beyond swimmingly with this arc we may even be able to field the Demon Lord. So we'd have 3 badasses on his level to his one. Pretty good odds if you ask me.

That's my plan anyway. Not a very original or inventive plan and has its risks, but I know it'll work.

>>28243887

She wasn't at least.

Found out the hard way. Probably the only one in the harem that had some form of problem with it and that's where I'm rustled with Wil actions because his lust brought some hurt to a girl that really didn't deserve it.

>>28243939
Now, I feel bad for my nativity though I'm sure she was the last one to find out though.

Siggy, forever hand-holding, and cuddling the angel.

Oh so the kissing and cuddling before SIggy left was just her one night dream to act on her whims ad desires, pure but desires nonetheless

Still think she might have reservations/ Hadraniel desiring a engaged/married man how scandalous!

Sultans had all those girls because they couldn't leave. Yet out of all of them he only really hung out with a few of em'. The other girls would have left for greener pastures, but the guards prevented that.

We ain't so low as to force them to stay and I don't think he can keep every last one of them truly satisfied. I want them all to be as happy as possible by the end of this. How that happens exactly is not really my concern here.

>>28246690

I fear your are wrong.

glad we agree on this

>>28246676
Yeah but there's something about Mylen and Haddy that makes me like them mord than the others.

>>28246764
Well their my personnel favorite as well with Ame and Leila as a close second but their all best girl.

Though the Lucina look-a-like may change things.

What have you done to me Intsert?

>>28246743
Emeth strongk. It's like no one wants a girl whose greatest happiness is holding your hand.

Minor thoughts: What if this isn't the first time Leila has been dosed with corruption? Would we be able to sense it?

Yes.

It must be difficult to clean them.
That gives me a nice idea for something to do, though.
Ambush her in the baths and clean them for her.

I very much hope her wings are incredibly sensitive.
