You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.Monique... he proved to be quite the opponent, though not exactly due to his own merits. But still, the fight isn't over yet!Not yet.>Congratulations, you are now an unruly WOLF!>Wolves are cool and powerful... and also rather dangerous.>The Princess now considers you to be her friend!>But while wolves are really cool, they still don't count as people.Thread archive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=Princess+Guard+QuestCharacter list + descriptions (in progress):http://pastebin.com/1Vhj4DJvList and descriptions of the spells shown thus far:http://pastebin.com/2c9y2sDMTwitter:https://twitter.com/QM_ArchelonQuest compilation that's kindly maintained by a person who isn't me:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n4nhs9gd0kmnnni/04tpEy5_pe>>>>>>>>

>>29651743This is good or bad?
>>29651719>Not yet.IT'S HAPPENINGFOR THE GLORY
And it was then.When I no longer held a sword in my hands that I decided:I would become a sword.
Hope the medics are ready for us
>>29651719>not yetThey think it's all over...
Rolled 14>>29651719>But still, the fight isn't over yet!>Not yet.I've got a bad feeling about this
>>29651743 yay i did itHA HA TIME FOR IMAGES
>>29651743Damn Wrenloft your so fast!
>>29649967For posterity.I guess Monique finally got his revengeance.
>And then Reinhold was disqualified for stabbing Monique with his bracelet after getting repeatedly perforated but the bullshit haxsword
WIN THIS MONIQUE
>>29651763I like you anon.
>The fight isn't over yet!Oh boy.
>>29651763Guts mode engaged.Matthias only has one brother now.
>>29651719>Not yetthank you Archelon
>>29651719>Not yet.Full Kenny, or the prelude to Stumphold, the amazing one-armed bodyguard?
>>29651719>>29651719>Not yetARCH WHY
Rolled 9>>29651719Will he continue doing bullshit damage while we do minimum?
do it
>>29651719Fight! Use Tina, use our fists, use our head, bite and gouge if needed. Our goal is to incapacitate the opponent, no matter what.
>>29651791Fuck yes full Kenny everyday.
>>29651791There are mages who can regrow our limbs easy.
>>29651793BecauseSO STUBBORN WOW MUCH BODY HARM>>29651801No it isn't. That makes us lose by default and will probably encourage Monique to kill us.
>>29651797Biting this sword is like screaming "Hurr I'm a retard pls freeze my face"
>>29651801>Our goal is do be disqualified and look like a barbarian, no matter what>>29651804>easyNo, I distinctly remember Sylvie saying it took even whatziznuts a shitload of time to pull off.
>>29651809What if our teeth are all sealed kings?
Marianne is going to chew us out for not having surrendered, right?
>>29651808Has there actually been any mention of brawling being disallowed, or is that people being fuckups?
>>29651804Like our bro Niklaus, who did it to himself.
>>29651808such chinvery haremwow
I hope he kicks our ass so hard that by the time we wake up we'll be out of the hellhole known as Marconetti
>>29651817everyone willexcept luciana who will praise how hard we tried
>>29651817If she does, I hope it's in a cute mad-because-I-was-really-worried way.
>>29651809Pretty much.
Your right hand hurts so fucking much, and it feels like you're going to black out from the pain when you try and move a single finger. Your left arm... you can't even fucking MOVE it at all now. And your collarbone is most definitely broken.Not to mention the countless other injuries you have all over......but still. You're not about to give up. Not yet."Th..." you wheeze as you reach over with your right hand and grasp your ice-covered sword, nearly passing out from the pain until the sheer cold from the ice makes everything completely numb. "that... was an..." you say, smiling weakly as you force yourself to your feet. "...ICE hit...">roll 1d20
>>29651818No self-respecting dueling code would disallow punching, kicking, and headbutts.Besides, Monique has no right to complain about anyone else being unfair, he brought a motherfucking Sealed King to this.
>>29651817More than likely she'll feel guilty as fuck for practically ordering us to duel.
>>29651719> But still, the fight isn't over yet!> Not yet.”まだまだ!”Rein so hotblood.
Rolled 20>>29651828
>>29651817Oh yes. Oh god yes. She'll yell at us so hard that our eardrums will rupture.Just remember that if she's mad over us getting ourselves hurt, it means she cares.

>>29651833SHIT YES, BASED WRENLOFT!Let's just hope >>29651836 16 is high enough to meet the DC>>29651836You almost ruined everything. Thank Wrenloft for saving it.

>>29651846>>29651840>>29651839>>29651837>>29651833THESE ROLLSWHAT AM I SEEING?
>>29651851>>29651854The new rules mean that it's a success. A crit success if 16 beats the dc.
>>29651833A WINNER IS YOU SIR!>>29651837DAMNIT WHY!?
>>29651844As long as it happens outside of Marconetti
>>29651817Marianne chews us out no matter what we do. It gets her goin;.
>>29651833
>>29651872HOW DOES NEW SYSTEM WORK I JUST GOT HERE
>>29651833YEAH!>>29651837...fuckOh wellThe16 is still pretty good
Rolled 3>>29651828not yet! dark sun give me power!
>>29651837>>29651833>>29651836WHAT DOES IT MEAN???
>>29651869A 1 won't drag two 19s down into the dirt, more of an averaged outcome
I thinks its a crit success, since we changed the way dice were rolled, just at the start of the duel in the last thread, remember?
>>29651833>>29651836>>29651837Do the new rules mean we win or what?
>>29651833Bad fucking ass
>>29651881OH MY GODTHIS IS A MIRACLE
Rolled 2>>2965188716 CANCELLED THE CRIT FAILALL HAIL THE CRIT 20
>>29651817Of course she will, and it'll be perfectly deserved
>>29651794This kind of bugs me more than anything. We had one pretty bad roll but we had a 19 and onlyinconvenienced him in the thigh while our 14 (one below DC if poster in last thread is to be believed) got our arm horribly mutilated.It feels like archelon was expecting us to drop a bunch of 20s and when it didn't happen we were left floundering
>inb4 Sylvie/Luciana fight over who gets to cripple us and put us in their rapedungeon/bedrooms to make sure we don't get our asses killed
>>29651892I'm afraid I'm going to have you ask you to get into more detail.Sounds vague etc.
>>29651887I THINK THAT IF THE 16 WOULD HAVE SUCCEEDED IT MEANS ITS A CRIT, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT, FUCK IF I KNOW.
>>29651897Win but not critically, I think.
>>29651906WOO!
>>29651833>>29651836>>29651837i am confused.so 16 is the roll?
>>29651896No you dummyIt should average around 16system change axed crits pulling fifty non-crit dice behind them
>>29651891we cut monique's arm, but we crash like a dirty rag on the floor behind him ?
Rolled 13HAVE YOU ACCEPTED WRENLOFT AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOUR?>>29651917Nope, the nat 20 counts
A-are we in bizarro /tg/?
>>29651917Yes, unless 16 beats the DC. Then we get a 20.
>>29651917No, 16 cancels the critfail since it beats the dc, leaving hte 20 as a critsuccess.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/29638206/#p296405661 and/or 20 rolls would only result in a critical if the other dice in a roll supported it.Basically, as an example:roll 1, 14, 19 with a DC of 14: successroll 5, 4, 20 with a DC of 14: successroll 3, 17, 20 with a DC of 14: critical successroll 2, 5, 6 with a DC of 14: failureroll 1, 3, 5 with a DC of 14: critical failure
>>29651833GODDAMMIT WRENLOFT WON US THE THREADITT: Monique uses godmode, chumped anyway
I think it's a crit.Whether it's a crit fail or crit success depends on if 16 passes.
At this point we both essentially collapse from exhaustion after our final hit on Monique.>"So.....draw?">"Draw"Then we both pass out
Was this what happened to Rein?
Rolled 7>>29651922Not really son.The 16 backs the 20 if it's above the DC.That means the 1 is disconsidered unless the 16 is not above the DC
>>29651922It's a critical success if 16 beats the DC. Otherwise, It's just a standard success.
Rolled 18>>29651934So we crit???
>>29651910I'm not actually sure, I'm sure somebody will copy-paste from the other thread.I'm tired, but if I recall correctly: We can't crit either way if the other rolls are dreadful.
>>29651931Disclaimer: our hilarious amounts of pain/blood loss/meat loss may have bumped the DC up rather high.
Rolled 9>>29651943>an ice hit.jpg
Rolled 6>>29651943Yep.
>>29651934Well, by the rules as written of that, assuming that 16 matches or beats the DC, we have a crit success. If it's not, I'm not sure what'll happen. Either a success or a crit fail is my guess.I'm seriously hoping for a win, or at least a draw.
>>29651949If 16 beats the DC, we crit succeed.If 16 fails the DC, we still regular succeed because of the 20.
>>29651949if 16 is above DC yeah
>>29651958Then there was no point in rolling as we couldn't succeed.I already explained that archelon does not have a history of sabotaging his players, didn't I?
>>29651959I missed that file name, jolly good show sir!
Rolled 20>>29651958Monique is injured as well, so we MIGHT make it.
>>29651966Base DC is 15 apparently, but with wound penalties.
>>29651934SO WE FUCKING CRITICAL SUCCESS OR WHAT?GOD DAMN THIS ADRENALINE AND SIMPLE MATH CANNOT COMBINE
So either Success or potentially Crit Success?>arch pls give us this one
>>29651934>>29651939We don't crit because of the 1, but it's still a pretty nice roll.
>>29651958>meat lossWhen a swordfight can be described by "meat loss" and it still continues, something has gone wrong. Or maybe right.
>>29651958yeah but we still got that 20 which means we got AT LEAST a success if not a critical
>>29651943This
Rolled 7>>29651975Wrenloft wills it!
>>29651978JUST STROKE YOUR COCK AND WATCH THE RESULTS I CANT MATH I CANT ANYTHING BLOOD I WANT BLOOD.
>>29651958Yeah, but Monique has also taken some wounds, he's not expecting us to be quite this fucking insane, and we're forcing him into a brawl instead of a sword fight like he's accustomed to.Hopefully Archelon has mercy on us.
>>29651975Not half as badly as Rein.Still, people will be talking about this event for years to come.
Even if you can't understand the new system.This uncertainty sure is exciting isn't it!
>>29651982No if the 16 meets or beats the DC its a crit.
Rolled 10>>29651994Apparently not.
>>29651949Fuck I don't know. Now I don't know how to feel! Should I be excited? Should I be pissed? I' so confused!
Anons are so bratty when they lose.What a bunch of little bitches.This is a situation where not winning is to be expected, try not to throw a fit when things dont go your way. You guys were JUST complaining about Rein winning to easily before the fight started.

Rolled 8>>29651999But it's not a brawl, Rein picked up his sword, kid.
>>29651978We don't know.Arch hasn't posted anything either way.Could be that both count, could be that the crits cancel each other out, could be whichever one beats the DC.
Rolled 19>>29652009Wrenloft's powers are fickle indeed
>>29652013If we total it up, haven't we easily cleared 3k posts in one night?
>>29652011The ones who are complaining about possibly winning an awesome fight are the bratty little bitches.
>>29652020Yes.
>>29652011It was annoying that we chained together a bunch of great rolls, then he powered up and one shot us on like a single failure.Thats not even simple 'losing'.
>>29652020yup
Rolled 17>>29652018The irony>>29652020Yep, just 108 and 109 reach and surpass 3k
This fight is bullshit.I aint even mad
>>29652011I think people whining about Rein having it "too easy" are beside themeslves with glee, tbh.I think losing would be perfectly acceptable conclusion of this fight, but I guess this roll gave a chance for a draw.
>>29652030That's the power of a sealed king.
>>29652020The last thread was 2235 posts. Alone.
>>29652030Uh, I'm sorry. We natural 20'ed him and got a nineteen. We can handle defeat with poor rolls, but after his two wounds and then a 20 it shoulda be done.
>>29652025Yes. The fight should not have been winnable from the position Reinhold was in.
Rolled 5>>29652034It's tense as fuck, I've done nothing but read the thread for the past 5 or so hours.
dude we should get a crit, were against one of the most powerful swords in existence cut us some slack
>>29652037Anything besides losing would be a horrible outcome. Reinhold should not be able to win this fight.>>29652041The twenty wasn't a crit. New system, remember?
>>29652034I'm a little madNormally, as beat up as we are, I'd advocate surrender.But this fucking bullshit sword - spells are banned, but it's okay if your equipment raises fucking ice walls and shoots waves of slice-you-in-half all on its own?Fuck the Gilbault family rules, that's some grade-A bullshit.
Rolled 17>>29652043I shoulda been asleep hours ago...
>>29652037I just want us to go down like a badass
Rolled 2>>29652054But the new system means that we do crit, I think.
>>29652045Only if the 16 would have netted us a success. We deserve not but what we have rolled.
>>29652045Monique is wielding it, that's plenty of slack.
>>29652042Of course it should be winnable.That's just stupid. There's too many variables for it to *not* be winnable.
>>29652045>dude we should get a crit, were against one of the most powerful swords in existenceThat's not how logic works.>>29652058Me too. It's morning here.
Rolled 20>>29652037I think we might have to give but I want us to stomp this cheap 5 dollar whore that has to bring an AC-130 to a fist fight to not get his shit kicked in
>>29652056Yeah I feel the majority have moved from general sympathy with Monique to accepting him as sinister rival
>>29652056Not that surprising, considering they were laid down by a family who had the money to afford bullshit magical swords and magic tutors for their kids.
>>29652056I must be inclined to agree.
>>29652065Monique has 3 wounds.WE have 3 wounds.Should be 15.
>>29652054>>29652062It depends on what Arch decides the DC is.If it's 16 or less, we crit.Otherwise, we... I dunno.The example didn't have a 20 and a 1 in the same sample set.
Rolled 6>>29652068>That's not how logic works.and neither the dice system, or 4chans dice work on logic either...
>>29652066You do realise that monique is a master swordsman in his own right, right?
>>29652056Allowing spells would be better for him than us anyway.>>29652077Our wounds are worse.
I love how pissy everyone is getting over losing
>>29652070>>29652056Damn Straight.
>>29652071B-but anon! He still hasn't done anything wrong! It's our fault for not surrendering earlier! He is actually a bro.
>>29652067>Of course it should be winnable.>That's just stupid. There's too many variables for it to *not* be winnable.No. Reinhold is disarmed, impaled and prone in front of someone holding what amounts to pretty much a god in their hands.We. Should not.Be able to win.
>>29652078Good thing we managed to get a rare as fuck outlier case on the first night using the rules.
>>29652077We've been hit three times, but all three were pretty fucking nasty hits.
>>29652056Ok, a little mad. Sure.But the HYPE and excitement completely outweighs it.Also the fact that this more or less proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that Reinhold is fucking insane and Monique actually isn't, but rather is just a bit of an ass.
>>29652030Thats kind of in the nature of being completely outclassed sir. Monique planned this well. just think how much planning he's put into this whole thing, and he's not alone.>>29652037I wasnt one of them, but Its more how quickly they start outright WHINING and blaming everyone else that disgusts me. Theyre worse then Elena, and I'll bet it was some of the same people calling her out as a brat too.
>>29652058>>29652068Same here anons, I just had gotten back on a normal sleeping cycle too.
Rolled 1>>29652068Apparently its eight o clockish here.
>>29652079The system has rules though, and "you get a free crit just because" isn't part of those rules. It's clearly a normal success.
Rolled 7Wrenloft is gonna be in for a big surprise when he reads the archives tomorrow.
>>29652071I'm fucking loving Monique right now
>>29652087>Our wounds are worse.A wound is a wound, shouldn't be treated any differently.
>>29652083We're better.
>>29652087And that's the bullshit.Who decides whose wounds are worse?Arc. He broke our bones with his sword, we jus tscratched him.Crap, imo.
Marianne is gonna slap the shit out of us by the way
>>29652087I'm not advocating allowing spells - I'm advocating disallowing bullshit magic sword abilities.He can use the sword to physically fight, but stop using it to magic fight when magic fighting is beside the point of a fucking sword duel.
>>29652110>implying he wasn't the original one who started it
>>29652094It's not a god, it's a sword, it can still be parried and knocked aside. Monique is still a man, and goes down just as easily as any other when smashed in the face with a frozen hunk of metal.
>>29652092>calling down artillery on his dueling opponent and acting like a tosser when it shockingly manages to harm usI still like the character, but I want him to lose now.>>29652083Not master.We beat himWe can barely touch a master
>>29652067It should be technically winnable, in the same way it's technically possible to live to 200.>>29652114Pretty sure it's based on the difference in skill+roll for each of us, or something along those lines.
>>29652108Under the system's rules, we have a reasonable chance at it being a crit. Not "Just Because", but BECAUSE THE RULES STIPUALTE IT.
>>29652087Yea, but consider thisIt would be an easier fight for us if he used spells Therefore it's pretty fucking bullshit rule
Rolled 13>>29652108its anything but clear, and its also all at the discretion of Arch rules or not, our fate is in his hands
>>29652118They're all gonna take turns. But Marianne got half of them.
>>29652112We made him bleed a littlewe've actually lost the ability to use part of our body
>>29652083yeah he's really good with his magical super sword that he has to use so that he won't get his shit pushed in
>>29652139>Luciana slapped Elena for trying to fly>Reinhold gets stabbed all over, gets back up and says "More please">????>BDSM Princess
>>29652131On a role where we got a 20, but not a crit success, we have him a cut. When we fail we got stabbed through the collarbone.And this was before he pulled out the Sealed King. It was biased even before he pulled it out, which is kinda bullshit.
>>29652132We have a reasonable chance of rolling a crit. We don't have any chance of that particular roll being a crit.
>>29652137>easier fight for us if he used spellsDid you forget how he killed the assassin?Monique's way better at us at magic
>>29652131We failed with a 14 and it made our hand unusable.Seems very arbitrary to me.
>>29652121People wanted to see the spectacle of a sealed king being used. No one in their right mind thinks Monique is a better swordsman than Reinhold.He basically brought a minigun to a 6-shooter duel and the crowd wanted to marvel at the big gun's power. He's still pretty clearly the worse gunman.
>>29652144>luciana>not doubestandardslord
>>29652129Nigger do you even know what a sealed king is?
>>29652149He is using an army killing sword, merely having an unusable hand is pretty nice
Rolled 8>>29652141We cut deeply into his thigh
>>29652148Yes, but consider thisEither go against a swordsman with a sealed king or go against a dude who uses sword and spells. It's easier to go against the guy who uses sword and spells.
>>29652137>easier fight for us if he used spellsI know you MEANT to say "If he cast his own spells instead of shooting it at will from his sword, but still>easier fight for us if he used spells
>>29652146Yes, we do. It depends on whether arc defines 16 as beating the DC or not.If Yes, It's a motherfucking crit.If no, It's not.Simple as that.
>>29652165Or he could use Sealed King, and magic
>>29652165Not if that guy is Arnaud
>>29652145he nicked our collarbonehurt bad, didn't impair us beyond thatcollarbone broke when he ice bullshitprobably because of the nick to begin with, but he still didn't do any real shit until cheesestick
>>29652165>What is Gregory
>>29652149Apparently the DC on 'final form' was 15, and our rolls kinda sucked after the reveal.
Pulling from everything you have, you force yourself to hold your sword at the ready."What an idiot," Monique says, glaring at you as if you're an insect. "A gentleman knows when to quit, you know..."He then lunges in for a final sword thrust to your side, but you dodge to the right JUST in time to avoid being skewered. You then pivot on your heel, using the momentum from the ice that's encasing your sword to build up speed, and...BAMYou hit Monique clean in the back, knocking the wind out of him and sending him flying several feet forward until he crashes face-first into the ground. Holy shit, that worked!And it doesn't look like he's getting up!"OH MY GOD THIS IS A MASSIVE UPSET!!!!!" the anouncer screams at the top of his lungs as the crowd goes absolutely INSANE with applause. "And now for the count!"As the announcer begins counting, you look down at your right arm. Your hand is tightly wrapped around the hilt of your sword, but you can barely muster up the strength to lift your arm... and holy shit, this hurts.>[1/?]
Rolled 3>>29652176>is a crit>accidentally rip his femoral artery to shredswelllookatthat.jpg
>>29652141So, really Monique even in a win comes off looking like an Ass.Had this reveal that he would only pull if his sword gets broken against a guy who just breaks swords.Guy doesn't submit, but gets giddy when he realizes he is fighting a sealed king.Maims the guy instead of going for a ring out disarm of some kind or rendering him unconscious.Guy is still standing despite severe injury, making ice jokes, while Monique is raging, RAGING at us for our impudence.
>>29652162You are contradicting what is said here>>29652131It's one or the other.Can't be both.
>>29652056You think you're mad?I'M QUITE LITERALLY frozen over WITH RAGE AT THIS ASSPULL.How the fuck did he come across this sword?Just what kind of Ant-Art-Tic Quest did he have to go through to get it?We had literally 0-warning for this shit besides the Ice Magic he used in the interlude when he dispatched that assassin. At least we've confirmed that he definitely is a contender when magic is involved.

>>29652188If he doesn't get up, that guy from the QTG is going to never shut up.I'm fine with that.
>>29652188WABAM KAPOW BOOM SLASH that's how you do it.
>>29652188> [1/?]Ha ha haas if it'd be that easy.
>>29652188Shhh crowd, don't wake him up
>>29652188If we win then this is complete fucking bullshit
>>29652188>We wonHoly shit I am legitimately mad at this bullshit pandering asspull. Why the hell did I stay up for this? Fuck everything, I'm going to bed.
>>29652188Isn't that kinda the same trick we used to get a hit on Arnaud with, albeit more clumsily?
>>29652188Well...Well.Huh.Okay, that's pretty good, Reinhold. Pretty damn good.

Rolled 7>>29652219>>29652217What?We rolled a crit, you assholes, don't start crying now.Plus there's another update coming
>>29652188Please stay down...
>>29652217If it counted as a crit then it makes senseHe hasn't critted us, he just performed better with extremely more firepower.
If only we had hit him in the head.
>>29652188>archelon ass-pulled a win for us so he can go to bedFuck this, you never should have promised you'd finish before sleeping.
>>29652217>>29652219Oh, stop whinging. We rolled high enough, because we refused to give up. Simple as that.We persevered, therefore we won.
>>29652226WRENLOFTWARM UP ANOTHER 20.WE MIGHT NEED IT
>>29652188Now that's MANLY DETERMINATION.He's so going to get up, but it was worth it.
Rolled 16>>29652219We got a crit, the first of the whole duel. What'd you expect?
>all this mad that we won
Needs to fall back to the ground as we are declared the winnerId of preferred a loss or draw tbh
>>29652188He...he did it. Sweet merciful fucking A he fucking did it....man Monique is either going to take this well or go further off the deep end.
>>29652188what?WHAT!!SWORD WAIFU DO SOMETHING
>>29652188Fuck you Monique! Fuck you for bringing a fucking Sealed King to a duel and bragging about being able to beat us with magical fucking ice spam.Fuck your spine, I hope it's damaged enough that you can't get up and you have to watch Reinhold's utterly ravaged form stand in victory.
>>29652240>[1/?]Shut your fucking mouth.
>>29652246Fully expecting (and hoping) for a draw.
>>29652242Wrenloft charging crit generator!
>>29652225Even if he gets back up at this point we can lose being proud.

>>29652246Thats because you suck and we win
>>29652230>>29652244>a 1>a critThat's not how it fucking works.
>>29652245As it stands right now, I'm just saddened with the execution.pretty sure he's going to get up though
>>29652258People get asshurt over everything
>>29652188based archelon please continue :'(Also fucking kudos for champing through this,i go to sleep and wake up to find that you're still at it.
>>29652264he hasn't read the new system at allk
Sealed King POV:This sword is too cold
You know, I think all these bitches complaining about a bare win are just butthurt that their "give up" option has proved to be the worst possible choice yet again.
>>29652264New system you asswhipe.
>Monique gets back up>puts on Father's Mask>rekt intensifiesThe Legend never dies
If we win I will legitimately prefer Monique to Reinhold.Before I might have said I did, but then I was being ironic.It is absolutely ridiculous if we manage a win from that position. There's no way that makes any kind of sense.
>>[1/?]COUP DE GRACE COUP DE GRACE COUP DE GRACE COUP DE GRACE
Rolled 19>>29652264This is a different system, you idiot.Didn't you participate in the previous thread where Arch explained it?If the 16 was at or above the DC it cancels the 1 and makes the 20 a crit.
>>29652188We're going to pass out as well, calling it.
>>29652264New rules dumbass.
>>29652245Can't please anybody whatever he does.But seriously, we critted so I wouldn't call this an ass-pull. Monique was just too full of himself and wasn't cautious enough.
>>29652264It technically is.The rules as written do not state that a 1 negates a 20 as a crit modifier, only that a Crit must BE CONFIRMED by having one of the three accompanying dice beat the DC.ANything else is something you made up.
>>29652276You will prefer the babby tier swordsman who can't into fair fight?
Rolled 5>>29652273I voted for giving up and I'm loving this!
>we should have crit>we shouldn't have crit>we should have lost>we shouldn't have lostCan't please all of the people all of the time.
>>29652276Doesn't make sense that half the female nobility of a nation want our dickDoesn't make sense that Monique found the sword at allDoesn't make sense for a magical quest critical hit to slightly alter the outcome of something small
>>29652276>implying we're going to have a straight winThere's gonna be SOME kinda backlash.
>>29652244Not that guy, but, Not an Automatic win.I hope he gets up.
>>29652290Seriously.
>>29652278I was thinking... if we get both a 1 and a 20, and the third roll fails, wouldn't it then become a crit fail by that same process?That turns opposing 1 and 20s into this terrifying what-kind-of-crit-is-it mystery box if the determining roll is close.
>>29652276Having snatched victory from the jaws of defeat in similar fashion in a couple of table top games, I can accept this.
>muh asspull>we were already slapping his shit before he before he pulled his cheat sword out>critical success>monique sucks shit at dueling eat shit
>>29652276Only if we win this wayThis seems pretty... uninspired.But I have faith in Archelon to come up with something good.
>>29652304We've all been there.
>>29652275>Implying we aren't the giantdad>Slammed his pussy dex saber, guy is relying on darkmoon blade/crystal weapon>Hit us a few times>lol time 2 get back up
>>29652303Precisely.
Rolled 5>>29652303Oh god, I think you're right
>>29652297It is explicitly an anime VN quest,s o really, it all makes perfect sense.
>>29652276Monique was arrogant and forgot that he was still a person with a squishy person body. No matter how fancy his sword is he's still vulnerable to damage, like getting hit in the spine with a heavy object, and if he doesn't hit us then it doesn't matter what magic his sword has.
>>29652303Pretty much.Does make crits less...teriffyingly common.
>>29652298>arm falls off from the elbowQUICK, SOMEBODY GIVE ME A HAND>fade to black
>>29652303I'm glad I didn't realize that before now or else I may have had a stress-induced heart attack after that roll.
>>29652303Yup. I like the new system better because of this.
Just have both pass out and tie Add some kamina spike boxing green screen shade as color washes away and slows down.
Rolled 18>>29652303exactly, if the DC was below 16, which it evidently was not, then we would be utterly fucked
>>29652188"THREE!! FOUR!! FIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!" the announcer shouts s the crowd's cheers grow louder with each increasing number. "SIX!!! SEVENNNN!!! EEEEEIGHT!!!!!"You breathe a sigh of relief, as it looks like this is finally over......and then you see Monique's oustretched hand clench into a fist."OH, WE HAVE MOVEMENT! IS MONIQUE GOING TO MAKE IT BACK UP!? NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!" the announcer screams, clearly as excited about this entire thing as the crowd is."I am..." Monique mutters as he punches the ground, forcing himself to his feet. "....NOT FINISHED YET!!!!!"As he raises Setsuranka in the air, the crowd goes even crazier than before! Hell, you're pretty sure that you can see people screaming so hard that they pass out... but this isn't exactly god news for you."Th... that was a nice hit, I do admit, REINHOLD," Monique says as he uses his free hand to wipe the dirt from his face. "But you won't get so lucky a second time!!!!""THE FIGHT ISN'T OVER YET, PEOPLE!!!" the announcer screams.God damn it...Your... EVERYTHING hurts......but you're not about to give up now! Hell no!Readying your sword into a high stance, you prepare to attempt to rush in......wait.This is only your hilt.>[2/?]
>>29652284he did have that broken-ass sword so i'd be pretty confident too. hopefully this when this whole thing blows over monique'll just cool off and learn to chill. I mean the cold reception he's been receiving so far is just cos of his icy demeanour; however i think the chances if him gracefully recoveringfrom this fight are roughly equivalent of that of hell freezing over.
>>29652338>SWORD>BROKEN

>>29652338HAHAHAHAOUR SWORD IS BROKEN
>>29652338HERE WE GO
>>29652290He is not babby tier. Monique is a competent, skilled swordsman who can do magic at a level that far exceeds Reinhold's capabilities. He can take on Devil-children like it aint no thang and makes every effort to be a gentleman.We may not like him so much because we've managed to see him - occasionally - at his worst, but he's a much better person than, say, 99% of the nobility out there.All this as opposed to Reinhold, the perfect anime bullshit protagonist with zero personality.
>>29652338>This is only your hilt.i'm not sure if this is bad since we broke volker's sword, or good that we broke the one sword volker couldn't
>>29652338WE BROKE IIIIT!!!
>>29652338Awww fuck guess we lost.
>>29652338HOLLY FUCK REINHOLD Y U DO DAT Y U BREAK SWORDO.
>>29652338Well, guess we really ARE even now

Rolled 8Oh damn, we lost by disqualification, didn't we?
>>29652338Hey, it's just a hilt now, why don't we throw it into his stupid face?
>>29652373SWORD BROKEN
>>29652338Well time to give one last pun and break down laugh before passing out.
>>29652338BREAK HIS BONES AND SHATTER HIS SKIES.
>>29652338Volker would be proud. We finally broke the sword he couldn't
>>29652338Chill out for a moment Monique, I think I dropped something>>29652355You know he had the cheesestick for that, right?
Guys, enough character discussion for now, please. If you can't help yourself, take it to /qtg/Arch up to something. Something good(?).

Rolled 3>>29652385Maybe the hilt counts? The referee would probably have noticed by now.
>>29652379I thank the tabletop gods every day that hitpoints are abstract.
>>29652338... this is the perfect opportunity to concede defeat graciously.We need time to mourn our sword.Not only would this prove that we can go toe to toe with Monique as he wields a goddamn sealed king, but also that we can take defeat and the loss of an heirloom with far more grace than he could ever hope to.
>>29652338Just look at it and start laughing. And fall over laughing. Laugh like a motherfucker.
>>29652338Well shit, duel over we don't have a sword. I would say toss it at him but oh well. Does this mean the 16 wasn't enough?
>>29652385Nope, we can get another sword, but well it's gonna be shit compared to our old one
>>29652392Damn fucking straight>waah waah our sord rip ;_;
>>29652402I am extremely happy.
>>29652355>zero personality.It's us who plays him, you're insulting yourself there.If you want to root for Monique, that's your opinion.He's capable at magic because he was pampered from childhood and could do whatever he wanted [including learning magic]. In the meantime, Reinhold was beaten or raped.He can take on devil-child WITH A SEALED KING.What kinda achievement is that?That he's polite and competent? I'll give him that.That he's better and deserves to win? Nah.
>>29652338thumbs up, pass out.
>>29652338>This is only your hilt.We broke a sword across his goddamn spine. Holy shit.
Rolled 18>>29652410We'll end up having to wield 2 swords to make up for it.Maybe even strap an extra to our back.
>>29652399>using the sword hilt for asylumTrue final destination is fists only.
>>29652409Who knows, wait for the 3rd post.
>>29652355>anime bullshit protagonist with zero personality
Rolled 18>>29652410Well, earlier Monique woulda lost if his weapon broke and we didn't let him get another sword.You know, back when the big reveal happened and the guy said it'd normally be a disqualification but we said he can have another sword?
>>29652338Wait! I know what happens next. We get Elder Kai thanks us from releasing him from the sword and will use his ritual to make us the strongest fighter in the universe.
>>29652402>See what you guys did?broke the sword even volker couldn't>Hope youre happy nowyup
>>29652402Extremely pleased.We out played our hero at his own game

>>29652425Aren't things easier to break if they're frozen or really cold?
>>29652410Technically having your sword shattered is grounds for disqualification. We just didn't want it to end with us breaking his sword AGAIN earlier so we were going to make an exception.If its borked I'm good with this being the result. I doubt we'd stay conscious long enough for them to fetch us a new sword anyway, we've got to still be losing blood.
Rolled 17>>29652432This isn't Saiyan CYOAReinhold isn't FrankNo he won't have a harem
Rolled 7>>29652442same sword, was still the Sealed King, just without the disguise
Welp, we lost good show people, time to faint from blood loss now
I think we should give up now. Mostly because I don't think we should give Marianne a heart attack.
Rolled 4>>29652453He didn't use any of it's magic, though.
>>29652427>not NG+7>no Calamity Ring>not cursed from the previous playthroughWe got a casul here
Rolled 20>>29652449And rein will be sad. His fathers momento is broken.
I was one of the ones who said it wouldn't matter if we lost an arm.This matters. We should have yielded.
If we'd gotten a double 20, we'd have knocked him out for good by whacking him in the head instead of the back.
>>29652453Except he never used its abilities, so it was basically a normal sword
>>29652461>>29652457>>29652405There's no WAT DOThere's still stuff to come.AND REMEMBERNEVER GIVE UP
I'm just waiting for Tina to become our new sword.

Today is a good day to die.
>>29652465Half-sad half-happy because as anon said earlier he would be proud that we broke the sword he couldnt break. We can still keep the hilt though, as a memento.
Rolled 9>>29652470Matters not, now we'll get a sealed king from Adrien when he returns
Arch please get some sleep worried for your wellbeing
>>29652463>not double-cursed

>>29652433>>29652420Good, Me too. Feel bad for archelon since he's going to have to put up with idiot powergamers asking about magic swords for every thread again though.Who Votes for either putting the broken sword on Volker's Grave, or setting it up like a trophy in Grandmas house?
>>29652477Bracelet testing should go into our training ASAP.
>>29652465Yes, very sad, but all swords break eventually. Fighting a Sealed King is about the best death a sword can have I think.
>>29652470>Not wanting our sword broken
>>29652470Like fuck we should've.Surrendering would've ended this pathetically.
>>29652448Yeah but still. That must have fucking hurt. Surprised we didn't fracture the guy's spine.
>>29652442>>29652462He encased the devil child using his sword.He probably didn't even know the spell before he got it.
>not even an hour>388 replies
>>29652492Trophy in grandma's house sounds great but I'd really love if Reinhold kept it.
>>29652492Fuck no, we can just have the blade re-made just like what you're supposed to do to a broken sword.
>>29652503He's probably not in the best condition after that, which is the only thing giving us the slightest chance of not losing.
>>29652492Guess we could take Agnes's opinion for that. It's her house, and she visits the grave regularly so she knows how fitting it would or would not be. I.e. if some brats wouldn't steal it for instance.
Rolled 11>>29652509>No brakes on the Rein-train

>>29652509So much hype
>>29652402I'm upset for the death of the sword but happy for the sake of the story.
>>29652493>>29652477I hope so, if we get a sealed king now it'll just look like we're copying Monique.Getting a freaky shapeshifting crystal sword on the other hand...Plus we can break it as many times as we need to and just reform it into a new blade.
>>29652527>DONT LOSE YOUR WAYAre you me?
Look on the bright side, this entire fight should've convinced Celestino that Volker taught us.
>>29652509Pretty sure other thread went by(to the same post count) a lot quickermore rolls howeverSeriously though not really a surprising statistic man
>>29652477Our sword breaking may be just the trigger event we needed.
>>29652532Now you're getting somewhere.
>>29652537i want to see what's happening in that box
>>29652338"Wh... what the..." you stare in disbelief at your aching hand which has a death-grip on the hilt of your sword..."Haha..." Monique places a hand on his forehead and moves the hair from his eyes. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! YOU BASTARD!!! WHAT DID YOU THINK WOULD HAPPEN TO YOUR PRECIOUS SWORD WHEN SETSURANKA'S ICE FROZE IT!!!""-W- WE HAVE A WEAPON DESTRUCTION!!!!!" the announcer screams at the top of his lungs. "REINHOLD'S SWORD HAS BEEN BROKEN!!!!!"As the air is filled with the roars of the crowd and Monique's maniacal laughter, you feel like someone's just punched you in the soul. Your sword, which you've had since you were eight years old, the only memento of Volker, is broken."You were telling me yesterday that your sword was so very important to you, and now I bet you think that your moronic strength was the thing that destroyed it? NO!!!!!" Monique shouts. "I BROKE YOUR SWORD, REINHOLD! JUST LIKE YOU DESTROYED THE SWORD THAT MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER ENTRUSTED TO ME AS HE LAY ON HIS DEATHBED, YOU WORTHLESS BASTARD!!!!""Wh..." you mumble. "You did...""That's right! Monique boasts. "Cold temperatures make things brittle!" he laughs. "And at its coldest, it would be a task for Anrasorana himself to melt it! What makes you think that your pathetic trinket could ever hold up!">[3/?]
>>29652477I think it should be Volker's blade reforged by Tina's magic.

>>29652548>HAHAHA monique you beautiful bastard
>>29652518It'd have to be reforged for that, which would weaken it, and considering what rein does to swords, it probably wont be much good for him anymore. I mean, it looks like it was frozen through, thats... not good.
>>29652548>What makes you think that your pathetic trinket could ever hold up!"OH NO YOU DIDN'T
>>29652548now that's just a dick move,rein never MEANT to break anyone's sword, but he went out of his way to purposefully do it.

>>29652581>"You were telling me yesterday that your sword was so very important to you, and now I bet you think that your moronic strength was the thing that destroyed it? NO!!!!!" Monique shouts. "I BROKE YOUR SWORD, REINHOLD!

>>29652548*eyes gloss over, world comes to a standstill, the crowd's roars fade into nothing.Reinhold locks his steely gaze with Monique's, unblinking."Fetch me another sword."
>>29652548>What makes you think that your pathetic trinket could ever hold up!"Cue berserker rage.
>we're gonna do this>we're gonna do thatWe're gonna wait until Archelon finishes posting is what we're gonna do, since circumstances are likely to change yet again. Calm your tits, people.
Rolled 10>>29652622kind of hard to be the best MC ever, when he is not an MC...
>>29652548http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IjnoM5-mnwI was wrong. You're not just a prick...you're BATSHIT INSANE!
This day has just been pure distilled essence of HAPPENING.
>>29652646Agreed, fucking people not reading the /? goddamit.
>>29652628Pfft we still have the edge he needed a sealed king to break ours.
And people were saying that we were the crazy one.There's no way people aren't going to think he's a complete psycho/dick now.
>>29652646Yeah yeah.Just the adrenaline, you know.
>>29652648He is a main Character, just not the main Protagonist
Monique sure is showing his Jin-Expy crazy at the moment.
>>29652619No you dumbass or he would've won the original tournament wouldn't have he?>>29652626I don't like Monique much any more but his attitude doesn't affect usWhy the hell would be sad after glorious battleVolker's sword got best end
>>29652646NO MY TITS CANNOT BE CALMED DOWN RIGHT NOW.I REFUSE IT TO BE CALM.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVgSMuRsjNgIt's on now
>>29652646>someone throws us a sword, we use it, it breaks after a few hits>half the spectators throw us swords >keep fighting and changing swords and eventually win
>>29652655From the way people keep cheering for him, apparently the entire crowd think he's great.
We apologized. We meant it. We didn't mean to destroy his grandfather's sword. Monique is an ass. After this, people will know he is an ass. His own brother may even call him out in his ass hattery.Monique may have out on a splendid show, but his poor sportsmanship has probably not earned him many friends.He has over the course of this fight brutalized a man who won't give up.This will end beautifully. With all of Reinhold's friends supportive if him and annoyed he let things go so far with his injuries.
>>29652624>>29652626I'm not rooting for Monique and this was a dick move, but there is some justice in it - at least from his perspective thinking Reinhold set out to do it intentionally - and it doesn't erase his good points.I think the playerbase might need a while before we're up to a Monique PoV though.
Rolled 14>>29652663WHAT DID YOU SAY, BROTHER??
All this mc wannabesMonique is by far the more interesting character and we will become friends or respected rivals no matter how many are kicking and screaming otherwise.You cant punch people in the face to solve all your problems
>>29652670the crowd thinks all of this is great
>almost 1 hour>almost 500 posts>>29652661Main characters: Reinhold, Marianne, Monique, Sylvie, Nicolette, and Luciana.Right?
Fuck the waifus, it's Monique who is making this Quest great
>>29652675>Monique PoV>Half of his sword is screaming to commit sudoku, the other half is jerking him off
>>29652680The thing that Monique needs the most right now is a punch in the face.
>>29652548
Rolled 5>>29652680>friends or respected rivalsnot with his schizophrenic psychosis any time soonalso, the guy is a 6 foot walking cunt, no one is friends with him
Rolled 19>>29652680>call people's mother's whores>not punchworthyI want him as a pal to reinhold, but his crazy/assholery is reaching critical levels.
>>29652686I'd say that's about right, though i'm still relatively new too the quest
>>29652690>YOU SHOULD BE A GENTLEMAN>YOU WERE AN ASS>NEVER GO FULL ASS
>>29652682The crowd are mostly dicks
>>29652675Certainly.I'm on the fence but the 'epic monique xd' samefagging is as thick as the average fa/tg/uy
>this entire night
>>29652675>and it doesn't erase his good points.He has those?The only reason Monique ever looks good is that he's put next to worse people.First it was his asshole brawler brother.Then it was some dickbag marcionetti nobles.I know Arch really wants us to love Monique, but honestly I've found the attempts to make him seem nice but misunderstood rather lacking.
>>29652682Yeah, a lot of the people in the crowd are also dicks too, going by the nobles we've met. Theyre eating this shit up
>>29652715If he wanted us to like monique he wouldn't have nuked the misunderstood building blocks tonight
>>29652715>I know Arch really wants us to love MoniqueSeems to me like he's showing the two viewpoints, rather.From Moniques POV, it all makes a twisted kind of sense.From ours, none.
>daylight>not tired at alli love the happenings
To all those saying we need to go berserk rage and start wailing on him with our fists;That is the exact opposite of what we need to do. That would make us the spoiled angry child that we are sat here hating Monique for being.We need to be the bigger man, and surely you all understand that really.I understand that the sword was important to us, but so was Monique's. We may not have intended to break his, but we did, and there's no going back on that.
>>29652548>[4/4]Monique then stops speaking for a few moments and takes a deep breath before clearing his throat to start up again."But you -did- offer to have another sword brought out for me when you so foolishly thought that you had broken mine," Monique says, sighing. "And as a gentleman, I shall extend you the same courtesy. You destroyed my sword, I have done the same to you in turn. As of this moment, my grudge with you is cleared.""WHOA, HE'S ACTUALLY OFFERING TO CONTINUE!!" the announcer shouts, waving to the crowd in hopes of riling them up even more. "Reinhold, what do you say!?"Your sword......the one Volker left to you......Monique, he destroyed it. Just to spite you.All kinds of terrible feelings well up from the core of your very being, but they're countered by the realization that you can't actually move either of your hands. And you very much doubt that you'd be able to even pick up another sword in your condition...>how do you respond?
>>29652715Monique is a well-intentioned idiot constantly surrounded by douchebags.
>>29652714Ta-dah!It was me I was the one that broke your sword.
>>29652715His imperfection is what makes him so good thoughI can't really place -what- in his character development made me start to at least have a neutral feeling towards him though
Rolled 12>>29652735"No thanks. Monique. This is your victory."Gather up the shard and retire.
Rolled 9>>29652735Accept.
>>29652735Concede.
Rolled 7>>29652729>twisted kind of senseonly if your a deranged madman who is incapable of seeing that the very cause for all the perceived slights against him is, in fact, himself
>>29652715>I know Arch really wants us to love MoniqueNo, he wants him to not be a one-dimensional character. He's likable from our point-of-view because he's funny as hell and surprisingly badass, but pretty much everyone agree that he's an overdramatic, self-centered, stupid douche.
Rolled 18>>29652735Decapitate him.
Rolled 20>>29652735"Nah, I can't use a sword with either hand. I'd need to use my mouth but I doubt the crowd'd appreciate that"
>>29652735"Bring me a sword."
>>29652735We're doing this.
>>29652735Give upOur hands are ruined already, and no sword will ever match our old one, least we go on a break to find a Sealed King of our own
>>29652715He genuinely goes out of his way to help people. He is kind and polite to people he likes, and at least civil to those he dislikes. He is dedicated to his family and excellent at his job.
>>29652735Tina time? Tina time.So the 16 wasn't enough?
>>29652735At the end of the day, it's just a sword. They break all the time.Ask for a new sword, carry on.
>>29652626>>29652735This.Also apologize to Grandma on the way.
>>29652735Order the ref to collect the shards and go collapse.He won, but we made him fucking WORK for it.
>>29652745Seconded.
>>29652735I don't think I can stand up to that cool sword any longer.Thank you for this duel though, I think Volker would be smiling at his sword's end.
>>29652548we berserker now
>>29652735Surrender bombastically.
Rolled 12>>29652735A regular sword would do nothing.Retire the match.
>>29652735His stupid sword has won it, take what is left of your sword and go.
Kill him Reinhold.Rip his flesh and strip his skin, sup upon the blood within.Slide your fingers through his eyes, squeeze until the goo runs dry.Kill him Reinhold.
>>29652735>how do you respond?Zeal and Fury are rewarded with victory. Use the bracelet to form the most nasty fucking sword around the hilt of your broken sword.
>>29652682The crowd is not personally invested in either party. Why should they be? It's just a show for them between two pancake eating barbarians from Granache. In fact, the guy with a motherfucking SEALED KING is probably much more awesome than some random redshirt who probably got on his bad side by offending a nobleman.
>>29652735"I can't stand Monique"
>>29652735Accept so we can kick his ass
>>29652735Accept
>>29652735fetch me another sword.Calmly as possible.
>>29652735i gave volker's sword the best end i could ever hope for, i'm done, it's your win setsuriaka
>>29652735accept.limits are meant to be pushed away.for volker!for the princesses!for the king, who's really, REALLY enjoying this show! WE SHALL WIN!
Rolled 16>>29652735I say we shatter his jaw with the hilt of our sword
Channel your anger into the crystal. Form a sword.
>>29652735Time to admit defeat and be the bigger man about losing our sword. That will probably drive him up a wall.
>>29652745this
>>29652735"Let's do this".
You people are suicidal.Walk away while we can.
>>29652735"Another. Bring me another sword. Now!"
>>29652735get another fucking sword
>>29652735>ConcedeWe can't move, what else are we going to do?
>>29652735Toss it in,
>>29652735Get another sword. We are NOT going to give up so easily.
I think it's about we did our own asspull with our bracelet.
>>29652735Thank you, but no. I concede. No blade can replace the keepsake of a dead man.
Rolled 13>>29652735>>29652745This
>>29652745This.We put up the fight, time to end this.
>>29652735I submit, can't move my hands anymore.
>>29652745>>29652735This
Rolled 1>>29652803That would be a horrible, horrible ending to this duel.
>>29652735We need to surrender at this point. Continuing is futile and childish.It diminishes everything about Reinhold if he carries on now.
Rolled 14>>29652735Take sword from him.
>>29652735I would like to see us win with just the hilt, I don't see that happening however
>>29652735If we can't fight we can't fight.Yield gracefully.
TINA TIME!
>>29652790>Kick the guy with the Sealed King, and whose hands are still working's ass
>>29652794This, it's the Swords win.
>>29652745This.
>>29652745This
>>29652735When did I say the fight was over, Monique? Sword me! Just because you put my sword on ICE doesn't mean I can't grab another.
>>29652800Exactly.Jesus fucking christ it's what Volker would've wanted
Rolled 10>>29652735ANOTHER. FUCKING. SWORDalso, if we didn't get one, wouldnt he be disqualified for breaking ours, instead of us surrendering?

>>29652735Surrender. It'll infuriate him.

>>29652735get another sword
>>29652803Fuck that shit
>>29652735Worth trying to use bracelet. Don't need a hand for it.
>>29652735Time for final destination?
>>29652735>you very much doubt that you'd be able to even pick up another swordWe CAN'T fight.
>>29652735"I feel sorry for you, I truly do. Bring me another sword."
>>29652735We don't give up. We get another sword and continue on. I hope Tina does something to help this.
>>29652735Concede, but congratulate the sword on it's performance, not Monique.
>>29652798That would be awesome but I don't think we can do that....don't the crystals.absorb magical energy?
>>29652735GET ANOTHER SWORD
This can only end with Rein mopely picking up the remains of volk's sword and being a moodkiller. And then crying it all out later in anguish when no one is around.Or Pure Rage. Calm or not.Rein has too much pent up frustrations for it to go otherwise
>>29652745Seconded
>>29652795The princesses would fucking slap our shit for being retarded enough to continue

Assuming we could even hold them.
>>29652735Time to admit defeat.
>>29652745This is the best course left open to us.
Rolled 18>>29652745fuck noVolker did not give up, and we shall not either, not after the cunt broke our fathers fucking sword

>>29652735"Anyone willign to lend me their sword?"
>>29652735"You're a sad arrogant fool who brought a Sealed King to a duel in order to get revenge for being stupid enough to block a broadsword with a rapier.Go grab me another sword."

>>29652735Concede that even if given another sword, we wouldn't be able to hold it. Congratulate the sealed king on it's victory, we'd like to do this again sometime. Tell Monique we would also like to fight him again, on equal terms with equal swords.
>>29652735USE BRACELET TO FORM CRYSTAL VOLKER SWORD.Channel those emotions.
>>29652886>>29652875>>29652874Doesn't mean we can't try.Never, ever give up while you still breathe.
This vote looks pretty split.Final Destination Vote between fight or surrender arch?
>>29652886Volker broke a lot of his fucking swords as wellWe gloriously lived up to his name today
>>29652735>And you very much doubt that you'd be able to even pick up another sword in your condition...Guys we can't win give up before you get us killed.
Can we have an anti-samefag vote, at least?
>>29652885>>29652815This. I want to see an asspull with the bracelet.
>>29652745I like this option. This is a good option. We should do this option.
You know what we must do.

>>29652735Go collapse in a ditch.
>>29652874WE BITE IT WE BITE THE HANDLE AND FIGHT ON
>>29652897Because people are too autistic to allow a protagonist in a quest to lose under any condition.
>>29652745Sounds good. Make it happen.
>>29652745Yeah. Somber and melancholy as humanly possible. With luck, this shit might be reforged.
>>29652745This, we lost, Monique won, it's just that simple

All these anons expecting a anime protag to stand back up and be stronger.Monique won this then him have it shake his head and bury the childish im gonna punch his face bullshitMonique won
>>29652745This. As much as it hurts to have what might be Reinhold's strongest physical connection to Volker shattered, it makes no sense to go on. Rein has hit his limit, and it's still pretty fucking awesome folks.
>>29652815Operation asspull is a go.
>>29652745This, concede with grace, otherwise we'll just look like a jackass when we're flailing around on the floor going "HURR NEVER SURRENDER!"
>>29652735Hold on a moment: if the rules state you can use a magic sword so long as you don't use its power, dosen't that mean monique is disqualified?Concede, but when were out ask for the shards to be gatherd so we can have them reforged.
>>29652914but Monique softened it up for us.Well, It's more accurate to say that he made it brittle instead.but ehh
>>29652918>>29652913If there's a choice to congratulate the sword.
>>29652926YES, FULL KUBO TIME
>>29652745I guess this. This was a good fight but no way we can do anything else now. We'd need another crit success to do something.
>>29652735"Someone get me a damned sword."
>>29652848This, but thank Setsuranka. Be respectful toward Monique, though, because it will annoy him more.
>>29652745Yes pls, arch

>>29652735Time to concede
>>29652745Please go with this, arch. I don't want to see Reinhold get humiliated because people are too dumb to know when to quit.I mean honestly, if we keep going we should get fired from our job, because clearly fighting is more important to us than being left in a fit state to protect the princess.
>>29652735Keep fighting, of course. With the hilt or another sword , whatever.Reinhold doesn't give up. Like some faggots.
>>29652745Like this
>>29652735Concede. We are in terrible condition right now.Fucking Monique

>>29653167we rekt himgave our sword the most glorious of deathsmagnificent critmade my fucking day
>>29653182doesn't count thanks for playing pussy :D
>>29653184No he stabed the non sword arm
>>29653044If we do yield, we should thank the sword for an excellent duel.
Time up.
>>29653171Sorry you're impolite and cannot answer properly. You just assume I know the alleged answers.Really anon, grow up.
>>29653064Because Monique still loses face, especially if we concede the victory to the sealed king.His brother is going to chew him out over his behavior during all of this, just watch.We just break swords and didn't know about his grandfather.He announced he is a spiteful prat who can't accept an earnest apology.We stood up to a Sealed King what topples armies. There is no shame in that...but we are probably reallllllllly angry.
>>29653044 1
>>29653167Critically succeeding at a stupid course of action has bad results? Who could have guessed?
>>29653044If we do yield we yield to the sword, not to the pathetic man behind it. He has accomplished nothing worthwhile today.
2 is winning, right? Reinhold isn't going to humiliate and cripple himself because of autists not understanding when a fight is bullshit, right?
>>29653205> :DFaggot
>>29653190You have to wait 5 minutes before posting a duplicate reply (from the same device) so a 5 minute timer like always is perfect.That's why he doesn't count >1or>2: YIELDor"DONT GIVE UP"/"GIVE UP RIGHT AWAY"Because they aren't blocked by the timer.
>>29653044A hundred replies. A HUNDRED FUCKING REPLIES.
We were able to almost KO him. Even if we're in shitty shape, he could be suffering from a concussion or worse.If YIELD wins, I'm going to laugh my ass off if Monique just falls down unconscious after getting declared the victor.
>>296530411
This whole duel thing is annoying.We win a roll we either do superficial damage to Monique or end up in a worse situation than before, we fail a roll and we end up getting our shit kicked in.It's bullshit.
>>29653229:D :^)
>>296527352
>>29653235Dude, PGQ is fucking crazy tonight.This past week in general, actually.
>>29653235There is literally no way we have that many players.So yes, some serious samefagging is going on.
>>29653241we might pass out at any moment too
>>29653246The sword has hax powers. It was inevitable.
>>29653258Then we fight until we fucking pass out, we don't give up before then.
Emilio is going to let us use the sword he got as a gift, I'm calling it right now.
>>29653213TIMEISUP,STOPVOTING.
>>29653246Cry more bitch
>>29653255I think we have, anon. I think we have. Especially when the action thickens.
>>29653255>>29653253It's samefagging, but it's both sides.
>>29653246I hope it's not because of Archelon caving in to qtg whiners complaining that Reinhold never loses.
>>29653255You'd be fucking surprised. It's 2PM where I am and I haven't slept because it's DUEL TIME.Normally I just catch up on the archives after the event.
>>29653246I agree very much so oh woah a crit from us? we scratch his chest woah a 14? HE STABS YOU IN THE NECK AND BRAKES YOUR ARMS
>>29653255You'd be surprised.
>>29653213i count 48 1s and 43 2s, can anyone confirm
>>29653258probably pass out first tbh. I get the feeling if 1 wins, we'll be handed a sword, and then pass straight out. Still want to fight on though
>>29653215I assume you know that answers as I assume you've read the rest of the quest but it seems you haven't. >Never faggotThat is an answer but please carry on saying how I can't answer properly. Please go on.
Rolled 8>>29653255Archelon has over a hundred followers on twitter, so it is possible.
>>29653270Doesn't matter if we can't fucking use our hands.
>>29653255We've got people staying up late just for this fight, on top of the usual case of lurkers posting for an important vote.

>>29653278Honestly, that's what it feels like on this end.How much bullshit can he stack on Monique so we lose no matter what we do? No strategies of ours considered, we're just rolling the dice until we fail enough times.
>>29653288Arch is writing them all down on, so we should be good, but someone might want to check just in case
>>29653278More likely it's because of how insistent people were going into this that they wanted Monique to win. /tg/ loves him for some bizarre reason.
>>29653278Arch was planning this (rather, a rematch) from when Monique left on his long training trip.It's like GMing a PnP, you have a story that you adjust on a fly, and you also have events that aren't tied to any specific point in time that you can throw in at will.
55 for 1 with around 6 samefag posstsSpaceing the one or greentexting il count 2 now
>>296530441 we should use the bracelet to hold our sword back together fuck get a constantly breaking and reforming/ shape changing blade based on our will fuck yea
>>29653307Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?First time catching a live thread, just finished reading the archives and I skipped every Monique thread cause I hate him so much.How can /tg/ like him?
Rolled 7>>29653302>43vs42 in favor of 1Wut
>>29653291That's not a proper answer as it is both offensive and doesn't give any reason, which you claimed exists.And I did read this entire quest, but I tend to focus on the story, not on player's posts. Plus I can't be bothered to rememeber some random remark about strawpoll from X threads ago.Stop being a troglodyte.
>>29653311 or just use her to hold the new one in our hand
>>29653324because you skipped the monique threads.
>>29653324/tg/ is pretty fucking dumb sometimes.Like when it wants to constantly surrender.
>>29653324When he's not directly interacting with Reinhold he's actually a pretty decent guy.But right now he's activated full turbocunt mode.
>>29653324You'd know if you hadn't skipped his threads, faggot.
>>29653302So 1 wins.Great, I hope Reinhold gets brutalized, then fired from his job because he's clearly so wrapped up in his own lust for glory that he's not stable enough to be trusted with the princess' safety.
>>29653302>43 for 1>42 for 2
>>29653324Because edgy?
>>29653298I followed all of two posts last night before going to sleep. Thinking I would wake up and read the duel after all was said and done. Wake up, get caught up with the first thread, drive wife to work, catch up on second thread waiting for the post office to open only to discover its a govt holiday. Go to Starbucks, enjoy the rest of my day off while this shit is still going on. Have coffee, comfy and waiting a bit before going home for more of this and house keeping.Archelon, excellent threads. This is good fun and I am on the edge of my seat as I drink down overpriced coffee from a gift card.Good quest, comfy atmosphere, Monique being a prat.
>>29653324There were people wanting to eventually get him to, at the least, stop hating us EVENTUALLY.The Monique PoV interludes put it in his perspective too, which really helped, I'm sure.But tonight's the first time it's really polarized /tg/.
>>29653302>>29653165This one doesn't count. so it's dead even.
>>29653334/tg/ enjoys playing slimy assholes who kiss ass so much their lips constantly reek of shit?Well ok then.
>>29653339CorrectionWhen players are controlling Monique, he is a decent guy. Whenever players are NOT controlling Monique he is a massive cunt.
>>29653338The people that want to surrender aren't dumb, really, they probably just aren't as, uh, invested? Hyped? As the others.
Well hope Reinhold enjoys having the rest of his body broken
>>2965331047 for 2 with 2 samefags1 wins but clearly samefag heavily on both sides 1 more so
>Braclet reacts to intense emotions>We are feeling intense emotions right now.do you see where I am going with this one.let the hate flow through you.
>>29653359You mean retarded? Autistic? Out of character?
>>29653356we played him as a decent guy.
>>29653357So basically, considering that we've now learned that the voices were his sword.Monique is a cunt, the Sealed King is a pretty cool guy.
Rolled 4>>29653354why?
>>29653339ThisHe's pretty decent usually, perhaps a bit of a douche.But when confronted with Reinhold, he's really, really butthurt and obsessed.
>>29653362Or there are that many people here right now. Which isn't unlikely, since I know quite a few people (myself included) have neglected sleep for the duel.
>>29653338It sure would be dumb to surrender in this fight with nothing at stake where we've already proven our competence beyond a doubt.Especially since the fight has already cost us something way more important than Moniwue anyway.
>>29653362The way the system works means the samefagging can't affect shit.Are you dense or just sore?
>>2965334>like any of this is going to remotely happen cry more little bitch
<another_archelon> Using the bracelet would result in instant disqualification.
>>29653387HahTake that Tinafags
>>29653387BUT MAGIC ATTACKS ARE OKAYYY
>>29653327whose sword will we get?taka? karel? that one monique gifted to the prince? aquaman? adrian?
>>29653377Surrendering would have cost us even more.
>>29653387Nobody is actually going to complain about us doing that after Monique pulled out a god damned Sealed King and used it to make walls of ice.
>>29653346Glory? that mutherfucker broke the closest thing to a family heirloom he has and insulted him challenged him acted like a duchebag and cheated with a kingblade and we nearly kicked his ass anyways
>>29653375We're basically his sitcom archnemesis after we decked him
>>29653361Oh just go with it, man. The story is going to be a fun one either way.
>>29653357We never control Monique when he is interacting with Reinhold, the source of his obsessions.
>>29653387But the bracelet is part of his body. That's what Sylvie said earlier.
>>29653327That was my count too.Holy Fuck.
i think we just broke 4000 total replies
>>29653387Wish you'd mentioned this sooner.Oh well, what happens happens.
>>29653387Using ice walls does not?That's crap.>>29653371Agreed.Monique even tries to be decent but is blocked by how everything turns agaisnt him, baaaa.
>>29653387oh well. Then let's just beat him with a normal sword then.
>>29653370So what I'm getting is, /tg/ like Monique when they play Monique not as Monique.Ok then.
>>29653381it is still possible to samefag, but it requries more dedication than I think anon has
>>29653376Im about to pass out. I normally lurk but I've been here since first thread.
>>29653399We are going by duelling rules.Instant disqualification. No questions about it.The GM laid it down himself, what else do you wnat.
>>29653392>Take that TinafagsAs if any true Tinafag would risk putting her (in sword form) up against a sealed king while she's still developing.Anon plsThe only ones who want to use her like that are interested in just that. Using her.
>>29653387But using a Sealed King (that no-one knew you had) to create walls of ice and freeze your opponent's sword is totally legitimate.
>>29653359I'd just rather not have Reinhold publicly humiliated flailing his broken hands around trying to slap Monique in the face while screaming about "MUH SWORD" in front of everyone he knows.
>>29653381I just doubt we have almost 100 people here. I have also put off sleeping.Samefagging will happen with posts or polls just surprised its this even.
>>29653387Next time Tina, next time. We just have to forge your base form into a sword so you can be legal. You can be our trump card for round 3.
>>29653399ya the ice walls are bullshit
>>29653419I want to simmer in my anger at how heavily Arch has stacked the deck in this duel.
>>29653422Except for the part where he told everyone that his weapon was a sealed king, and that his opponent okay'ed and even made fun of
>>29653397You're right, "nothing" is so much more than Volker's sword.
>>29653396Grandma's.
>>29653425or we get praised for the bravery of fighting to unconciousness against a fucking sealed king
>>29653425You realise you're being a tosser?Continuing to fight regardless is fucking heroic, not humiliating.Surrender is humiliating. Giving up is shameful. Yielding is stupid.
>>29653422yep, its utter fucking bullshit and he bullied the ref into backing down after he broke the rules
>>29653421Because you can totally turn a thin, maybe 6-inch long tube of thin bracelet metal into a fucking sword. That's a master plan right there.
>>29653437Are you chilled with rage?
>>29653422Yea, Monique lost actually. Enchantments can be only used for ATTACKING. He broke the rule twice, he created ice walls AND he used it to weaken the weapon of his foe. CHEATING!
>>29653324Because he's almost as egotistical as the average fa/tg/uy.
>>29653454He technically did not.He Rules Lawyered his way through.
I'll say we should surrender. He won this one fair and square: Okay, maybe not fair and square, but he has an overwhelming advantage. If we keep fighting, he is going to SCHOOL us. He's going to slap up down like a puppy with a weak bladder. I say we do the gentlemanly thing and go: > "Okay, you win this round. Good one."
>>29653445There's no honour in being a fool. Reinhold can't fight anymore, are you dense?
>>29653445Conceding with dignity puts us above Monique and his little freakout.We are just proving we are every bit as childish as he is, nothing heroic about a temper tantrum.
>>29653430There is also guys from different time zones.
>emelio is so impressed he gives us the super sword monique gave him yesterday
>>29653438>and that his opponent okay'ed and even made fun ofmade fun of, yes, but where did we say we okay'd it?>>29653459yep, Turbocunt cheated
>People still arguingJust wait for Arch, guys.
>>29653459SO, as long as we don't voluntarily surrender, we have a chance that someone might call out his bullshit.
>>29653445There's no shame in stopping doing something that will accomplish nothing.
>>29653459Not to mention he was already pushing the rules a metric ASSLOAD by bringing a Sealed King to the fight.
>>29653467We'll have our rematch when we inevitably get a bullshit weapon for ourselves.
>>29653467>Deliberately breaks a sword given to you by your dead almost-adopted father"Haha yeah that sure was fun, friend! Let's do this again sometime!"
>>29653445There's a reason people do surrender, and that there are usually more captives taken in a battle than casualties.>>29653456Do you even read what i'm saying? I'm arguing against using her like that until she's been improved and developed more.
Anime cliches inboundFriendship powerup and using thatKnowing arch something awful will happen having both sides blame eachother death or limb loss maybe a eye
It's beyond a joke now, no matter what happens next or what doesn't happen next, look what these arguments are doing to us! Brother fighting brother, for nothing more than speaking their opinion and voting democratically!Maybe Reinhold is two dimensional, maybe Monique is an asshole, either way we are all assholes for letting our opinions cause so much butthurt
>>29653457I'm sorry anon. Some people are cold iron when angered, I'm the less threatening hot iron.
>>29653445In a real battle, this is a duel.
>>29653472That be awesome if that happens, Monique would fucking flip.
>>29653469>>29653468There's even less dignity and honour in capitulation of any sort.
>>29653481we really need to call him out on his rule breaking not cool man
>>29653410It's the rules. Only magic allowed is Sword magic, and sealed king magic is OP in that respect. Then again, how often do people get to duel with them.
Somebody should fucking call him out on his bullshit, the nigger cheated twice and he admitted it too.
>>29653495Yeah, I know. Sarcasm.
>>29653492We did the same to his great-grandfather's sword, don't be a hypocrite.
>>29653478The mere fact that we were cracking jokes about it, and never once cried bullshit was pretty much an okay
>>29653492no, he froze it, we broke it and then he laughed that we broke it
>>29653481Nobody except Celestino is going to call him out and he would have already done it by now.
I just want to congratulate the Sealed King instead of Monique for the victory. Monique had to use a goddamn DEMIGOD to defeat us.
>>29653492If a man declares himself God by force of arms, what are you going to do? MAKE HIM PROVE IT?
>>29653498>Maybe Reinhold is two dimensionalOnly because /tg/ can't decide what to do with him.
>>29653517his freezing of it was not an attack, it was sabotage
>>29653481The only one who has the authority is Celestino, and he certainly won't. Dude thinks we're trying to seduce his daughter, so there's really no hope of him taking our side on anything, even if Monique is technically breaking the rules.
>>29653517It would've been better if he hadn't gotten up in time, and we had broken the sword nonetheless. That way both parties would be pleased.
>>29653495>There's a reason people do surrender,Yes. They're fucking shameful cowards. That's why.>>29653482Continuing and winning accomplishes a fuckload.
>>29653515> DeliberatelyModifiers, Anon.Although from his POV It looks like Rein did it deliberately, it doesn't mean it's right
>>29653419Since we have the opportunity for a new sword. we can turn Tina into one. That wouldn't result in disqualification. On the other hand, ice walls are a defense, not an offensive spell, even if used to bash a guy into.
>>29653515We don't know that when we fought him the first time. He knew our sword was important to us, and he still broke it.
Hey guys would we be doing any more ice puns?
>>29653515We didn't do that on purpose.He intentionally broke Volkers Sword. Hell, I bet he would have broken it anyway even if we did surrender.
>>29653509Correction Enchanted weapons are allowed if they're used for ATTACKING. Monique used the enchanted weapon to create Ice Walls and weaken the opponent's weapon and he admitted the latter. Therefore, he cheated, therefore disqualified.
>>29653459>>29601140>enchanted weapons are allowed as long as they're only used for attacksHeh. You're right, and I think battlefield control falls outside of Attacks.
>>29653515no we did not and his gramp was dick so really don't feel bad about his sword breaking
>>29653481ORWe voluntarily surrender, keep the pride and bodily integrity we have left, and always know that, in our hearts, Monique is a little bitch that couldn't defeat us without having a god/tool of the gods on his side.That little bitch.captcha: ewwwno comparisonI agree, captcha. I agree.
>>29653532I'd love to see you fight with a sword in your mouth you backward cunt.
>>29653532Are you dumb? he can't win, it's a swordfight and he can't use a sword.Just stop being retarded already
>>29653523You're making my point.
>>29653546>We voluntarily surrender, keep the pride and bodily integrity we have left, and always know that, in our hearts, Monique is a little bitch that couldn't defeat us without having a god/tool of the gods on his side.And turn into Monique 2?
>>29653542I guess Celestino will have to clear that up. But I think we're in agreement that the sword was a game changer.
>>29653532>Yes. They're fucking shameful cowards. That's why.No. Because much as you may like to dress it up, their is no 'honour' in throwing childish tantrums and losing all composure when you don't win for once.Because in real life you cannot always win. Because there is more to honour than 'being the best'.
>>29653550>>29653549If you can breathe, you can fight.You lot are the retarded ones.
Monique won't get called out on cheating because he's the fan favorite.
>>29653523Waifu flag collections and being walked over vs standing up and getting madTg wants wish fulfilment and waifus shit sucks
>>29653557Well, at least Celestino isn't going to have Reinhold executed, we Volkered the hell out of that fight.
>>29653557But we accepted to do it.>>29653565Fighting without a sword = losing/disqualificationif we do ask you ask we'll still lose, but much more dishonorably
>>29653515On accident. Because he used a goddamn rapier to block a longsword. I would have been okay with surrendering before he started gloating. He did this to spite us because he knew the sword was important to us.
>>29653565>If you can breathe, you can fight.What kind of utterly retarded thinking is that?
So did arch just leave?
>>29653557Monique is going to be in so much shit for this. "YOU HAD A MOTHERFUCKING SEALED KING AND YOU STILL COULDN'T WIN WITHOUT CHEATING?!??!" "Your family is stripped of all of it's noble rights."
>>29653532Winning this fight doesn't accomplish shit though.
>>29653565No. You can flop on the ground and do nothing before dying. Only you would consider that putting up a fight. We're literally unable to hold a sword.
>>29653583He's writing anon.
>>29653565Muh anime muh never back down
>>29653581Hotblooded anime protagonist logic. You better pray we are in one or we are about to lose a limb.
>>29653585Doesn't accomplish anything base scum like you cares about.For actual people, winning accomplishes everything.
>>29653565Tell me one fucking way Reinhold can keep fighting or win.Tell me, bites? punches? holding with his mouth?DISQUALIFIED
>>29653592Ah ok, so how long will it take sylvie and the king to heal us?
I hope everyone congratulates Monique, even Thierri just to spite all these HE'S CHEATING GUYS ABLUH ABLUH
Shouldn't Thierri or Celestino be calling him out for his bullshit right about now?
>>29653583I'd think he'd say so on Twitter at the very least. Honestly didn't expect the "Conversation" to be this heated, thought the duel would be more clear cut no matter who won.
>>29653563It is not about winning. The duel doesn't matter at this point. He broke our father's sword. The one thing that reminded us of the good times we spent with him. Monique knew this and he broke it anyway. Monique is a cunt and he needs to pay for it.
>>29653603>holding with his mouth?>DISQUALIFIEDstupid, but not against the rules, and emelio will love it
>>29653598We explicitly are in an anime, you know.
>>29653565>If you can breathe, you can fight.You know what I'm wondering?How everyone who's pushing for a fight to happen expects Rein to get back to guarding Marianne after this.
>"B-bring me ano- [VIOLENT COUGHING] -ther sword.">Knees wobblin>Sword in hand>Lift it up>Pass out>Fall forward>New sword goes through shoulder
>>29653612His family WROTE the goddamn rules. He has every advantage. He had no excuse to break the rules.
>>29653612Same, i think we should be the better man and not stoop to his level.
>>29653556No...?Monique is a passive aggressive bitchtool that couldn't let go of his grudge. I'm just saying, there's no shame in surrendering when we're beat. Failing about with no working arms and (should we get one) a sword that isn't made to hold up to our style, against a Sealed King,.... etc etc....You see where I'm going with this? Why are we continuing? We were beat because we faced insurmountable odds. Let's let it go and go get fixed up. Jesus. It's like you guys have no empathy for Reinhold WHO HAD A SWORD THROUGH BOTH ARMS.captcha: dying smallNo, captcha. Not today.
>>29653622Magical healing?Seriously, we have the combined medical magic of two kingdoms ready to bring us back to health after this.
>>29653618And you know what the DC is to win using a mouthsword? 40
Why does some anons fight tooth and fucking nail not allowing anything bad to happen to reinholdWe argued over this during elenas tantrum give him some growth for gods sake.Hes cant be a gary stu anime protag
>>29653622Healing magic, bro. It can even heal severed limbs.
>>29653610There's an actual medical staff on hand. We should be fine by tomorrow at the latest.
>>29653622With some healing spells you major retard.
>>29653619This is what the cuckolds trying to surrender are ignoring also>>29653618Would be fucking awesome if we rolled really good
>>29653622This.Rein is ignoring duty to be a little bitch and have a tantrum.
>>29653622they have magic doctors>>29653614yes they should
>>29653642>Hes cant be a gary stu anime protagHe explicitly is, though. Archelon has outright said.
>>29653614Celestino think we're trying to seduce his daughter, so I don't think he'd step in even if Monique killed us.
What are the rules exactly?
>>29653647We are in an anime, but also in an RPG.Arch will give us an insane DC and we'll fail.Then we'll be humiliated and you guys will just pretend you had nothing to do with it, hidden behind anonimity.FUCK OFF
>>29653652>>29653614Thierri probably doesn't even remember the rules.Celestino just wants to see us get hurt.
>>29653651FUCKINGEPICMAGIC
>>29653657Well he said we were in an anime. He also said that he is willing to kill Reinhold if we do something stupid enough
>>29653665Whatever the person with the power says they are.
>>29653647A good roll is what broke our sword.
>>29653630That's not how falling over works.
>>29653635na we are pretty sure our opponent is about to fall over too
>>29653647We're in an anime...BUT NOT A FUCKING SHOUNEN YOU DUMB MUTT
>>29653670So we're relying on everyone else to cover for Rein's incompetence, okay, good to know.>>29653671Every QM says that. Far fewer mean it.
>>29653668>Then we'll be humiliatedWhat could be more humiliating than giving up?
>>29653647> Would be fucking awesome if we rolled really goodRolling really good is why we lost.

>>29653674Wasn't that a crit too?
>>29653690>>29653674The 16 may not have been enough.
>>29653688Failing like a retard in front of everyone and proving we don't know when we lost.Acting like an imbecile and trying to hold a sword with our mouth only to have all our teeth broken and our pride stomped.Conceding defeat due to the injuries sustained is the least stupid/dishonorable option.
>>29653657No. He said this is Slice of Life.Jesus Christ, I can't believe the "never surrender" comments. Yesterday we got punished for our idiocy, and you'd think Archelon would refuse to do so again?
>>29653688Flopping on the ground with bodyparts being chopped off, screaming incoherently in pain like a child, eyes pouring with tears?
"...bring me a sword," you mumble. You're bleeding, hurt horribly and yet you STILL won't give this up."What was that, Reinhold?" the announcer asks."BRING ME A SWORD!" you shout as loudly as your ragged lungs can manage."You heard the man!" the announcer shouts, raising his arms in the air. "Bring him a sword, he wants to keep on going!"As the crowd goes nuts once again, an attendant rushes off for a few minutes before bringing back a broadsword of a similar size and weight (you think) as your own. "Here you go, sir," the attendant says as he hands it to you... but you're unable to release the deathgrip that your right hand has on the hilt of your sword, and you're unable to even move your left..."Oh my, it looks like you can't even..." the attendant says as he looks at you. "Sir, how's he supposed to hold this sword if he can't even...""Place it in his hand manually," Monique says."Wha...?" you gasp as you look at your opponent. "Why would you even...""This is the path that you chose, and you shall walk it to the very end," Monique says with a sigh. "I no longer have a grudge against you, so I see no issue with indulging your foolishness.">[1/2]
>>29653701you say "humiliating" but all I hear is "awesome and uplifting story telling of the human condition to never give up".
Its my thinking it will take a minute for someone to bring him a sword, we can rest and get our hand control back maybe
>>29653690>>29653674Reins job comes with dental right?
>>29653712Your fetishes have nothing to do with this.
>>29653688Getting our ass kicked in front of the ENTIRE COURT.
>>29653671>faggots refuse to surrender>Reinhold dies on the first failed die roll>the butthurt, if harnessed, could fuel all the energy needs of a developing nation for seven years
>>29653714Good job, people, now Monique looks like the classy gentleman and we look like the brat.
>>29653715There's nothing awesome and uplifting about dying like a dog.
>>29653715>dying>broking all his teeth>failing miserablyYEAH RIGHT HAHA
>>29653714I hope a 50/50 decision like this gets broken up by something or this thread is going to explode.
>>29653736BUT WE FOUGHT TO THE ENDMUH MANLYNESSMUH NEVER GIVE UPMUH LOOK LIKE A RETARD
>>29653735And so we created clean Pure energy. fueled from the butthurt of anons on TG.
>>29653735and nothing of value was lost
>>29653714AW YEAHYOU SLEEP ON THE GRAVE YOU BUILT, REINHOLD
I just wanna say>Western mentality>On an anime-inspired quest:^)
>>29653714Even Monique thinks we are acting like a idiot.Great job, guys
>>29653711Well arch said he wouldn't run this late again but here we are. That said we are totally losing a limb for this stupidity.
>>29653714Wow guys this sure is dignified and honorable.
>>29653714*sigh*>>29653715HURR ROW ROW FIGHT DA POWAH
>>29653736eh, we both look like brats. Monique looked like a cock when he initiated the duel, and we don't know when to give up
>>29653714Bad end incomingWe make everyone cry over our death
>>29653735only seven?
>>29653714Well it looks like he won't be a total dick to us anymore, but it seems like we just don't know when to give up.
>>29653714>ah yes, I've finally inlflicted a great deal of pain to you deliberately, you can do whatever you want now
>>29653750It's slice of life, not shounen. Recognize your genres, mutt.>>29653736Pretty much.Fucking /tg/ rollers are so stupid it hurts.
>>29653750Mad hatter is that you?
>>29653752Or he's bluffing and trying to conceal that we hit him a lot harder than he's trying to make everyone think.You don't just get up from getting your spine smashed up without any injury.
>>29653735At this stage I would be happy with that outcome. Takamaru quest when?
>>29653767sanity
>>29653749Reinhold has spent his life scrambling up from nothing. He's spent his life fighting to prove himself against people who were handed every advantage that you could possibly imagine. He's fighting an enemy who has the deck stacked in his favor, who writes the rules, and who has all the power in the world on his side. Same old, same old. Reinhold didn't give up then. He shouldn't give up now.
I don't care if this is about to be BAD CONSEQUENCES.This is more interesting than anything that's happened in this quest for a LOOOOOOOOOOONG time.
>>29653762Reinhold Death is good end.Think of all the girls who will be freed from our influence before we string them along too far for them to ever emotionally recover.
>>29653762He'll probably just cut Rein's sword hand off in a gesture and then we'll pass out and get carried to infirmary.
>>29653771Uh yes, yes you do. I've walked off from hits worse than the equivalent of a baseball bat swing to the back.
>>29653770No, this is anon.
>>29653771maybe his sword is healing him
Rolled 2>>29653714
>>29653771And how are we going to call his bluff when we can't swing much less even hold a sword
>>29653736You know, I get the feeling this is a no-win situation. We pull off a clutch win, people will complain that it's an asspull: We lose bad, the butthurt could power a city.I'm personally wondering how we could possibly come back from this. If it's a honest last-minute victory, I'll give it two thumbs up. I think we're going to get our fucking ass kicked, though.
>>29653777OH OH I KNOW KEEP HOLDING ONTO THE HILT AND USE IT HELP BLOCK AND SHIT TWO HAND STYLE LIKE VOLKER
>>29653772>At this stage I would be happy with that outcome.Me too.I could get behind Takamaru quest if not for the fact that /tg/ would take his badass stoic act and shit on it.
>>29653777This man and his three sevens understands
>>29653785lol'd
>>29653771To be honest that does piss me off. We get a critical success, and Monique seems unfazed?Bullshit fight.
>>29653777I can understand this train of thought.
>>29653771Monique is cheating though. He turned on a trainer or popped divine blessings after we crystal weapon backstabbed his ass.The only way to beat a hacker is to cheat back with something like a cursesword/binocular weapon, kick them off a ledge or black crystal/disconnect from the game.Option three is Reinhold's only choice though.
>>29653805more than that, we get a critical success and lose the round
>>29653805Maybe he's wearing armour.
>>29653791I'm hoping for a draw.
I fucking hate you fedora faggots with your Courage Wolf mentality.It's the right thing to throw the fight if we're incapacited.We could be reckless if we hadn't any duties.
>>29653777If Reinhold was dumb enough to never give up and never runaway in any fight, he would be dead in a gutter before he's old enough to join the military.
>>29653805What ifHe freezed his HP Value
>>29653777And in the end he'll still lose
>>29653805was just success, not critical. and "seems unfazed" is not unfazed, he may barely be standing. spine blows mess you up
I really hope people aren't going to try and be friends with Monique after this fight.
>>29653777The difference is he's not actually fighting for anything here. It's just for fun.
>>29653829Marianne told us to winand we have no interest in dying right now
>>29653829Healing magic will deal with the aftermath, stop being a faggot.
Let reinhold lose let him lash out give me character developmentBesides being walked up dropping spaghetti and saying something sarcastic
>>29653833See >>29653816
>>29653834Yeah, because winning was never possible to begin with.
>>29653805its fucking bullshit that we didn't ruin his spine or seemingly hurt him in any fucking way other than making him black out for all of 8 fucking seconds...
>>29653714>[2/2]BGM:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGVWupqOBXwHe then forcibly removes the remains of your cherished sword from your hand and places the replacement sword in it, pressing down your fingers in order to make sure that you have a tight grip on it.Through some kind of miracle, you manage this."Are you good to go?" the announcer asks."Yeah, I think so," you reply as you trudge into the center circle and slowly assume the best high stance that you can manage."Such a fool..." Monique sighs. "It appears that you are even more stubborn than my eldest brother.">roll 1d20
>>29653714Arch, this is the only song in my head nowhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5MJd0RTOW1YNow that it's come down to this, I'm hoping for some kind of miracle which we can use to express our rage, or at least our spirit. But I just want to see.
>>29653778>mfw this is the exact same logic people used to defend being a dick to Marie
>>29653714Should have surrendered while making it seem like the only reason monique won was his sword, while at the same time thanking the sword for helping us achieve what our father never could.Kick in the dick, you still personally succeed, and we don't become crippled.

>>29653805It wasn't a critical success. It was a regular success.A critical successs would have knocked him out for the count.Yielding would have resulted in your sword still being intact once the ice thawed.
>>29653868>>29653872That was really fucking close.
>>29653872Well, hopefully this is enough to at least pull a draw. It's not bad by any means. Because we're not getting another swing.
>>29653872
>>29653864>implying they're not still going>>29653895
>>29653872Now the big question of just how high the DC has climbed.Hopefully our blow did enough damage and he's just putting on a tough act. Hopefully.
Rolled 2>>29653861Well, shit.
>>29653900it's a 18, it can pass..
>>29653872Nice. Nice.
>>29653868>>29653870>>29653871Meh. Not good enough at this point.
>>29653900DC must be horrendously high with how fucking broken Reinhold's body is
>>29653872Probably not enough considering that a 20 wasn't enough before.
>>29653872That has to be enough to at least pull a draw.

>>29653861Hold the volker sword hilt in our pierced right hand, it reminds us of Volker
>>29653906So he did take some pretty bad damage huh.
>>29653906But, we had a 1, 16, 20... You mean the DC was higher than 16? God damn.
Rolled 14>>29653929If we didn't have a chance, Arch wouldn't have linked that music.
>>29653906How in the fuck can a sword still be intact once its been reduced to just a handle in your hand?
>>29653906But we rolled a 20, a 16, and a 1. By your own refurbished rules, the only options available were a crit success or a crit fail, based on DC. There was no middle ground.
>>29653906It was a critical success by the system we agreed to, if 16 beat the DC, and otherwise it would have been a critical failure.
>>29653936You laugh, but the last roll needed an actual crit success to succeed.
>>29653829we have orders from the princess herself to win. we must not fail her! 200% LOYALTY!
>>29653929I'd put it at 14 or 15because Monique's not exactly in perfect condition
>>29653931You are an retard.16 got us a dodge.20 got us the back swing.1 got us the sword break.
>>29653952He ment the first time surrender was offered.
>>29653953DC might have been higher than 16
Rolled 2>>29653861lets do this!
>>29653952It wasn't a handle before we decided to keep going.

>>29653953I'm flabbergasted as well.Arc, elaborate please?How did you come to this conclusion?
>>29653968That's... not in the slightest bit how it works.
>>29653915I really cant see his not having at least several broken ribs from our last hit. Some internal injuries are a strong possibility as well
>>29653960The DC was 17.You pulled a success with the 20.
>>29653973In that case we crit fail, because we rolled a 1 and failed to meet the DC.
Please lose don't pull that anime bullshit
>>29653979Welp, I'm about to explode with rage.
>>29653964Are we orange tier loyalty now?
>>29653906You do realize that as per the new rules you enacted, upon rolling both a 1 and a 20 the third roll passing or failing will automatically make it go critical?If this is not what you intended, I understand, but it is what would happen under the system you presented to us.
>>29653987What's the DC right now?
>>29653953what the fuck
>>29653964She obviously meant "fight well", not "fight until you collapse and are amputated".
>>29653953>>29653960It was never explicitly stated what would happen with opposing 1/20 like that, it just defaulting to pass/fail rather than some kind of guaranteed crit also makes sense. A lot of people were originally thinking that was the case.
>>29653993Maybe this isn't right quest for you, Anonymous.
>>29653968We rolled 20 by the new system, because roll 3 1d20, pick the highest is still intact.The 1 is irrelevant because crit fails only happen when you would fail the roll anyhow.
>>29654002I bet it's 20.
>>29654002 bet it's 19
>>29653987Oh. That would explain it. Shame.
>>29653987Well, if the DC was 17 that time, and we managed a good hit on his spine, we might of actually done well enough on this roll to get a win or draw.
>>29653977i don't regret it, it's a great development and a great excuse to get a new shapeshifting sword
>>29653936I would shit myself in rage at this point.
>>29653987BUT YOU ALREADY TOLD US THAT WASN'T HOW IT WORKED ANYMORE.Arch sempai, please.
>>29653987Arch what does Tina look like right now
>>2965400219and up
>>29653987Shouldn't it have been a critfail then? I guess it's a good arbitrary decision.
>>29653987Well, shit. We should have crit failed that then.
>>29654002Well, our last check was a success so this one shouldn't have gone up in difficulty.I think this passed.
>>29654002We will see soon.
>>29653977It was obvious as soon as he posted the update.And>expecting a stupid decision to not have negative consequences
>>296540021 higher than what we rolled, no matter how high we rolled.So 19 in this case.
>>29653987Does that make the current DC 17 as well?Or is it 16 since Monique's injury rating went up by 1?Or are we just plain fucked at this point?
Here's hoping an 18 is a success. TBH I'm kinda concerned. Haven't noticed any sort of bad side-effects from our hits on Monique at all. He's always perfectly fine after our attacks. Leg gash? Backflips. Concussion and massive spinal impact? "You fool, haha!"It is literally impossible to predict.
>>29654032I guess in the case of a 20 and a 1 they still cancel each other out like normal.
>>29654051yes
>>29653987One of the three dice was a one. That would make it a crit fail.
>>29654051Should be 17 then.
>>29654051I pray.
Can everyone calm down
Problem: The Sealed King broke Reinhold's sword, not his Volker-level poor form. So Celestino has zero reason to budge from his paranoia. Even if Reinhold doesn't die here, Celestino has said that he will execute Reinhold if he doesn't get the proof he wanted.
>swing>new sword breaks>get another>break that>each time Reinhold grows a little stronger>ground gradually becomes littered with shards of broken blades>duel continues into the night>blacksmiths working tirelessly to fuel the engine of swordbreaking destruction, swords being delivered by the cartload only to last mere moments in our hands
>>29654053I hope Archelon has all of Monique's injuries catch up with him and he slips and fucks up enough for us to get one last hit in.
We're using a new sword which should've made the DC even higher
>>29654053I think hes playing tough.What has me worried is that people want to renew the blood fued.
>>29653861"So quick to judge, Monique. How easily do you condemn a man to be a fool.""Until this point, I had held out hope, that we could be friends. That you would accept my apology for accidentally breaking your heirloom sword, that you could see reason.""However, it turns out that you were a vindictive, obsessive, narcissistic little man, that would steal even the light from a prince's birthday to satisfy his own wants.""It appears we can never be more than enemies."
>>29654053Now that he's no longer properly fueled by HATE and VENGEANCE, maybe he'll lose steam.
>>29654065Impossible, I've waited about a dozen threads for this shit.
>>29654065My guess is no.
>>29654051Thats a good point. We inflicted a wound on Monique and did not suffer a wound in return.
>>29654051Yes no maybe.I wouldn't be shocked in the least if blood loss is becoming a major factor on our part. We're incredibly sliced up.
Guys, the rolling and decisions have been made - once Arch locks it in, it's in, any debate is just shitflinging.
I am genuinely curious though Arc.What is the possibility of an Interlude of this duel from Monique's POV?
>Break sword >Grab anotherNOW YOU'RE SWORDING LIKE VOLKER!
Whether we lose or win, we HAVE to make a final ice pun.
>>29654065I don't believe that's possible at this point.
>>29654077*Tips Fedora*
>>29654009The explicit case didn't need to be stated because it was already covered by the general rules.
>>29654058No.Our highest die was a 20.He took the 20.The second highest die was a 16, this was not high enough to pass so the 20 is a NORMAL success and not a CRITICAL success.
>>29654097That was an ice duel.
>>29654077and then Reinhold acquires a fedora, turns 360 degrees, and walks away
>>29654097When we lie dying in a pool of our own blood, we can say; "I feel... cold."How about that?
>>29654053It's because we've got Reinhold's internal perspective, so we KNOW just how badly everything hurts and exactly which of our fleshy bits just got ripped in half.
>>29654077Too Wordy.I kinda want make it across that Rein was willing to let everything go before he rubbed everything explicitly, but I doubt it.
>>29654067I wish I had the endless tournament screencap.
>>2965411610/10
>>29654066I honestly doubt Aquaman will let Celestino execute us.
>>29654066I don't believe Rein needed to break a sword to prove he learned from Volk. He's looking for the flaws in his stance and the like. I'm fairly certain Rein has done so too.
>>29654077do you really want to make this into a blood feud?
Any reaction from Archelon on IRC?
>>29654097i have to say this fight was pretty cool
>>29654120got ya covered
>>29654125And he got his stuff confirmed by Agnes. Fuck yeah gramma.
Rolled 20>>29654116Yes. Best end.
>>29654066I think we've firmly establish that we're the real deal in Celestino's eyes by now. He's not an idiot, he's been looking for the markers that we were trained by Volker.
>>29654127I can only imagine it's something like "finally, time for CIEL-SENSEI"
>>29654127No
>>29654077sounds good to me.>>29654100you probably meant *Tips Tricorne*
>>29654116He's going to put us...On ice. It's time for...the big chill.
>>29654058Only and only if we would normally fail the roll.The new system is this:1 and a failing roll is a crit fail.1 and a passing roll is a passing roll.20 and the next lowest roll is a failling roll is a 20, and in addition 1 are irrelevant because our "roll" is 20, not a failing roll.20 and the next, lower, roll is a passing roll is a crit success.So on 1, 16 and 20 the DC is less than 16, which means it's not a crit success, but still a success because our highest roll is still that 20. It's just not a crit success.It would have been a crit fail if the 20 had been lower than the DC. Let's say the DC is 18.1, 13, 19 is a pass: 191, 13, 17 is a crit fail: 1 and 17
>>29654104Hmm, so under the new system you need to roll a 20 and a roll that passes DC in order to crit succeed or roll a 1 and roll under the DC to crit fail. Since the DCs are all above 10 wouldn't that make crit fails far more likely to occur that crit successes?
>>29654116
On the plus side, this event might be a precedent for reviewing the dueling rules
>>29654137The dice will it.
>>29654125Considering how suspicious Celestino is, I don't think anything less would suffice. He's come to his conclusions, and merely a reasonable level of proof will not even make a dent in that. That is how conspiracy nuts work.
>>29654126Why not!
>>29654150Yes, yes it does. We've already covered that this system makes crit successes a lot rarer.
>>29654142Ciel-sensei a shitTaiga dojo is where it's at

>>29654163>Not the Einzbern Consultation RoomStay pleb.Not really, they're all da best.
>>29654164Right back at you, we have our ups and downs, but I wouldn't trade if for anything
>>29654164Don't act like it is over for us yet. That 18 might just be enough.
>>29654164Yeah I've had a lot of fun the today as I haven't slept yet.
>>29654158Because we finally got out of it from him and now you are trying to turn reinhold into Monique.What a better way to shame him then actually being the better man.
>>29654150Makes em less common actually.You roll 3 d 20, "take the highest" in that if one of them beats the DC, that one counts.20s trump 1s apparently, though the other two dice determine whether its a crit success or not.Crit fails are 1s, followed by 2 other failures to meet the DC's.
>>29654164Y-you too.
Rolled 4>>29654172WHERE ARE ALL THESE ROLLS COMING FROM.
Rolled 17>>29654172Regretfully, yes. Yes I am kidding you.
>>29654170Given that we're fighting Monique to within an inch of our life, probably.
>>29654097"Well, that was a chilling experience."
So are those 3 dice rolls good bad or averageWin or lose
>>29654155He's not a conspiracy nut. Just found our story too convenient.And he was never going to execute us. Just keep us under his watch and maybe interrogate us on our backstory.
>>29654119It was my impression that that was the case, maybe I'm feeling it wrong. Hell maybe Reinhold is just the type of guy that he'd even forgive this, I doubt that however.>>29654126No, that's significantly more weighty than the declaration made. However I don't think this act is one that could be forgiven unless Monique sincerely seeks forgiveness.The man deliberately sought to hurt us and attacked something near and dear. And then had the sheer audacity to gloat about it and point out that that was his intent from the beginning. IRL, this is not in the class of offenses I'd forgive lightly.
>>29654164Same, just hoping people won't try the blood feud thing with Monique.
>>29654164My feelings exactly.You're all quite evidently brain damaged, emotionally stunted, socially inept and your tactics are laughable, but there's nobody else I'd rather quest with.
>>29654164And I'm grateful that I'm sharing it with you too, you genetic reject birthed from pond scum. Screw you too.>hugs
>>29654164Indeed. Cheers.
>>29654203Assuming the DC has not changed from the 17 given no change in status on our part (and a solid spine hit on Monique), it is...theoretically a success at an 18.
>>2965420318 is a good roll, and might possibly be enough to eke out a win, or get a draw, based on the previous DCs that we know about.
Are we dead yet?
>>29654210I won't blood feud but I sure as fuck am not planning on supporting being his friend for a good long time.
>>29654164So is this the point where our anger reaches a singularity and loops past infinity back to the love side of the scale?
>>29654207> And he was never going to execute us. Just keep us under his watch and maybe interrogate us on our backstory.He specifically said that if he didn't get the proof he wanted "then he's obviously lying and his life is forfeit."So yeah, if we can't prove it he's going to have us killed.
>>29654209Except maybe he didn't know the sword would break, but decided to gloat about it right after becuase he was really out of his fucking mind.
>>29654211>>29654213This thread just broke out into being British.
Gentleman, it's been a pleasure>titanicmusicians.gif
So did we hit 4000+ replies today?
>>29654233No this where we die
>>29654241Yep.
>>29654203Depends.18 is really good.But we're also really low on blood.
>>29654241Yes
>>29654241yep
>>296542415 thousand actaully.
>>29654233Does Reinhold have a rage-boner going on right now.
>>29654241Pretty sure we had 3000 before this thread so we are around 4300 now
>>29654235He's had Agnes with him the entire time, and we were trained by Volker for a week, and based our entire sword style on what we learned then.In between Agnes pointing out all the similarities, and Celestino's own ability to observe things we should be fine.He might be paranoid, but there should be enough evidence to clear us. Or at least enough to justify not executing us.
>>29654256Jesus. What's the record?
>>29654258I'm not sure he has enough blood left for an erection.
>>29654258I was referring to us players and our attitudes towards one another.But maybe.
>>29654247I'm saying draw 18 is to high to not get a draw out of this.
>>29654164You're the most brainless, heartless and reckless bunch on the Internet, and I love you guys.
>>29654258Not only that, but it has assumed direct control of his body.
You wait for Monique to go on the offensive.But he doesn't. He just stands there. Looking at you with almost a look of concern in his eye.FUCK HIM. If he's not going to take the lead, that just means that you will! Rushing in, you dodge to the side as best you can, and...THUNKAs your entire world goes sideways, you wonder what in the hell happened- oh yeah, Monique ran in just before you were able to swing your sword and hit you in the head with the pommel of his sword. Fuck."Are you done yet?" Monique asks as he steps out of range of any leg slash that you might have been able to do. "I've no intention of killing you, and it would do you well to stay down before you end up killing yourself instead.Fuck.Everything hurts, and your collarbone seem to be... dear god it hurts o much.And you don't think you're able to pick yourself back up."It seemed like Reinhold had a second wind, but it looks like he's DOOOOOOOOWN!!!!!"As the announcer starts his countdown, you're kind of surprised by the way that everything looks... red.>[1/?]
>>29654236I'm not going to assume insanity defense applies hereespecially when he expressly stated that he planned that effect and instantly went into "Ah yes I have no further grudge with you, everything is fine" modeThat's like a man hunting down your mother and slaying her before your eyes because you killed his sister in the war, then going "Ah yes, we're totally even now. So hey, I'm Monique"
>>29654247blood blood fire is my blood >>29654258yes why there is so little blood in our brain
>>29654233no, this is the point we beat Monique into the ground before passing out due to blood loss. But it is before the point that we find out that Volker's hilt does something hoopy, like regrow the blade. This breaks Monique's mind, as he will never have true vengeance
>>29654170Scene opens on Reinhold kneeling by Volker's grave. He lays the last of the sword fragments upon the altar, then raises. He wipes away the tears from his eyes, and his voice is soft. Low. The words are difficult to manage:"Thank you. For everything. For everything you ever gave me."He then turns to his waif and walks away.
>>29654277>tfw can't fight means can't fight
>>29654262That's assuming he believes Agnes, and he already said that he believes that she had been duped.
>>29654277And that's the end of thatGreat job, Monique you finally got your revenge
>>29654277Oh.Looks like we did run out of blood.
>>29654237You're a stereotyping douchebut i love you
Rolled 1>>29654277Are we crying tears of blood?
Rolled 19>>29654277>Fight they said.
Rolled 6>>29654277Good job shounentardsHOPE REINHOLD DIES BECAUSE OF YOUR STUPIDITY
>>29654277I hope that's rage and not blood

>>29654277Before /tg/ gets its panties in a twist, this is [1/?]We're about to get up and hit the slimy bastard.
>>29654277Hurr durr, still breathing. Must fight.Otherwise we're fucking cowards and scum.
>>29654277We still have blood left to spill and bones left to break.
>>29654277>mfw shonenfags try to ROW ROW without any bloodTime and a place, chucklefucks.
>>29654277Yeah, from the looks of it 18 wasn't enough.
>>29654305Exactly.
>>29654277I hope that we're seeing red out of rage, not due to going unconscious.If this is actually the end then I'm seriously pissed, getting taken out like a chump on a legitimately good roll is stupid.
>>29654277Well now I have to know what was the dc on that last roll.
>>29654304More likely we are about to pass out and wake up to verbal beat ny Marie and Co
>>29654311>/?
>>29654277Well, when this is all over we can at least say we gave it our all.Don't often get to fight such a sword.Shame that ours was broken. I do vote we get the metal melted into a token or another blade instead of burying it. Seems just bad form to let it rust.
Rolled 17>>29654304Do you really really want that.Think on that.If we are getting up, we are about to enter a blood rage.Do you still think we'll have a job after this? A bodyguard who is a berserker.
>>29654279Monique wanted to fuck with rein after he felt threatened by him.Counter-gloating would have probably been pushing him even more and be funny, but we fell into his hands of ENDLESS RAAAAAAAGE.Rip reinhold though.
>>29654310Well to be fair, Kamina was dying too.Then he did die from his injuries. This might have been a bad idea.
>>29654277so did that spine hit do nothing to him?
>>29654277To be honest, I will be kind of annoyed if we go down like that. Monique's beat to shit as well, an 18 should have at least been able to wring a tie
>>29654304> Before /tg/ gets its panties in a twistAre you kidding? /tg/ has been screaming for Monique to win for the past twenty threads.
>>29654277we smash him in the spine and he is not even fazed?whatthefuck
>Marianne lectures us for hours about our stupidity>Asks us what we learned>"You can't fight if you run out of blood"
>>29654327>/?
I just love how we weren't going to win this fight unless we literally only busted out triple 20s
>>29654277kind of a bitter taste in my mouth after he's got away with his douchebaggery but i'm not that bothered. At least the tone has been set at no-shonen comeback territory.
>>29654335"Sealed Kings are total bullshit in duels Princess."
>>29654277Them fluctuating DC's.Utterly impossible to track.>Spine blow that hurls monique through the air and concusses him>No wound>No additional wounds on Reinhold>DC worsens.I can't make sense, its impossible to judge.
Rolled 1>>29654328Nope, a small group of retards did.
>>29654326>>29654330>>29654345It's not that he isn't also hurting, it's that we're fucking DYING.
>>29654279And to make it worseYou found him after the war and apologized for it, even though you were on opposite sides and she was fighting you.And he's all "No, I hate you, you killed her on purpose"It's so insane antagonist tier it isn't funny.
>>29654320That meant nothing last time, why would it mean anything this time?>>29654326Looks like it momentarily stunned him, but did nothing beyond that.
>>29654322By this point I think we can kiss goodbye to our job to be honest. Monique beat us, we couldnt keep our cool, the berserk part would be just a + on the denial side that doesnt even matter since we're disqualified anyways.
>>29654335"He was just cool for me."
>>29654325And in the end this was just a fucking duel.I understand doing this against a BBEG hell-bent on destroying the world or whatever but fuck
>>29654314DCs are determined by the difficultyy of the action It was made plenty clear that this was so far from the normal realm of possibility that it would require a crit..
>>29654345Maybe his sword gives him enhanced stamina/regeneration.
>>29654277But muh anime and hope
>>29654335>Congratulations, you are now a mangy DOG!>Though dogs are loyal, they're not all that smart...>The Princess now considers you to be her friend!>But while dogs are man's best friend, they still don't count as people.
>>29654335>asks us what we learned"That you can break the rules as much as you want as long as you're carrying a sealed king."
>>29654330Monique has Cheat Engine. Our non-twink swordsman build didn't stand a chance.
>>29654330Sealed kings are powerful stuff. Plus he isn't done writing.
>>29654349and what does hitting a human in the spine hard enough to shatter steel do to their body usually?
>>29654330maybe archleon's doing secret rolls for monique? who's to say he's not rollin a d20 irl and he's asspulling 20s? If it can happen at the tabletop, it can happen here.
>>29654277use the sword to help us stand up AND THENSurrender with a Pun
>>29654364DC for the same condition 20 seconds earlier was 17.We wounded Monique with a massive spine blow.Our DC worsened.
>>29654374Nothing if it's not a critical success according to Arch.
>>29654368>Congrats, you are now a VEGETABLE!>Though vegetables are important, they can't move or do anything.>The Princess regrets your decisions and mourns the loss of her friend.>Vegetables are not people.
>>29654374The steel shattered because Monique froze the blade.It wouldn't have normally.
>>29654370+5 Ice Saber with Hornet and Ninjaflip RingOur Balder Swag Sword never stood a chance.
Why don't we talk about what our plans for the post-duel are?
>>29654374sever their spinal column, or at least crack and shatter vertebrae and paralyze themand he just blacked out for all of 8 seconds then got up unhurt
>>29654335"That sealed kings are pretty COOL"
>>29654374Brittle from coldAlso armourThe damage was much less than you probably think. The sword would have shattered long before Rein got to deliver the full force of his blow. Like hitting someone with a glass pole.
>>29654392This.
>>29654395We'd need to know we'd be alive.And on that, the jury is still out.
>>29654393steel brittle due to it being frozen is still a hell of a lot stronger than bone and muscle. At the very least we ruptured organs with a hit that powerful, especially since he went flying several feet
>>29654380the only way for monique to incur no damage at all from every single one of our successes if for him to asspull to hell and back, while each failure we've uncured has crippled us
>>29654393this basically, it sounds like it was more akin to being hit with a sturdy club.
Rolled 11>>29654395Coma. And after that more coma.Refer to:>>29654392
>>29654395Train Train and Train when we aren't guarding of course. If we are alive.
>>29654395I agree with this. We can't change what's happened, so let's think about what we'll do after the tournament's over.
>>29654386Well yes. A non-critical 20 also resulted in us being considerably worse off. The only roll that matters is a critical success, anything less is a failure.
>>29654402The sword was covered in that supercold, superhard ice.We hit him with *that*. The steel bit of the sword is mostly incidental here.
>>29654211I was with you up till the people I'd rather play with part.Since i'd prefer more of them had functioning brains
>>29654386Right, of course it worsened. Did you not read the update posts? Our condition worsened.
>>29654392
Rolled 6>>29654395We've disgraced ourselves,acted like a child,heavily injured.At least we're off the luci boat with this.
>>29654402you hit someone full force in the spine with a glass pole and it's still going to fuck them up
>>29654394>hornet and ninjaflipWere you even watching the match? Monique was crystal weapon abusing with a good helping of dusk crown bellowing dragon magic fuckery. The only thing missing was a fucking gank squad.
>>29654392I laughed pretty hard.
>>29654413...still possible just VERY unlikely.
>>29654423Which flies in the face of Arch's earlier idea of "This fight is totally winnable, guize, I expect you to beat Monique".
>>29654394
>>29654395Get a new sword.Maybe Granma has something good enough in her collection and will gift us?If not, then get a good quality sword and train for a style which is not retarded.
>>29654393Err...you can calculate the amount of force put into that blow if you guess his weight and that the sword was particularly strong steel.I'm pretty sure its more than enough to do catastrophic damage to a person with numerous flesh wounds if it sends them several feet in the air and shatters the metal.
>>29654402Hitting someone with solid glass can badly injure or even kill them. Prop "glass" that you see in movies is designed to break and not injure people. Real glass will fuck you up.
>>29654435We can only dream.
>>29654435We fought like a man.
>>296543928/10Would smile again
>>29654427Well, exept you. You suck on a level almost inconceivable to mankind.
>>29654395Wander off into the wilderness and never return, perhaps.Or wheel off, if we've lost the use of our legs.
>>29654435Yep, Luci and Mari torpedoed. Finally we can move on to muh Sylvie!
>>29654446Of course we could've won, we just had to crit every roll.
>>29654277Didn't we score an 18 on the dice? I'm a little confused.... right nowand didn't the 20 cancel the 1 before?
>>29654429And his did not.
>>29654464MAGICWe'll be fine.
Rolled 4>>29654471failed
>>29654392You're terrible and I love you.
>>29654468>not Nico
>>29654394You know what we gotta do right?Full on giantdad, leave to find a sealed king in the form of a 2hander, use that with SIGNATURE VOLKER STYLE™ and sunder everything.Monique is cheating though, humanity abusing asshat
>>29654425>>29654437But that's the point. The sword shattered near the hilt and so we couldn't follow through with the blow and deliver everything. Monique DID get messed up from that, he almost didn't make a 10 count.And considering Reinhold is fighting with a lack of hand and several other serious injuries, you shouldn't expect monique to do less
>>29654395Mope about our sword, actually give girls answers about whether we're interested or not, talk to Niklaus about reforging it using our magic bracelet as a base material thingy, drink a coke.
>>29654446The fact that we kept fighting after we lost doesn't change that it was winnable before we lost.
For fuck's sake hold your horses, we're at [1/?]Fucking defeatists.
BangSee ya space princessYou're gonna carry that rabbit
>>29654479That is of course if everyone doesn't say we should live with our injuries to teach us a lesson about responsibility.
>>29654277'WHY DID YOU KEEP FIGHTING YOU IDIOT''It was easy, i just imagined he was here to assassinate marianne.'
>>29654395Considering that we're almost certainly coming out of this with one fewer arm, find a new gimmick.
>>29654468really confused as to how in any way this torpedoes the Luciana ship, since the only way to do that would be to disgrace ourself and the crowd is loving this
>>29654499Yeah, that's not likely, with the amount of irrational emotional investment in Reinhold here.
>>29654494kind of hard to when we've apparently not scratched him at all, while being crippled at every turn, and getting a serious fucking hit on him only had him stronger...
>>29654494This. Reinhold is going to start hearing static and feel swords coming out of his body. Then he starts to fight again.
>>29654483>humanityMonique's got Elizabeth Shrooms out the ass
>>29654494Honestly if Rein gets up from this with the aid of some hitherto unknown SECRET POWAH it will have gone full retard shounen with no hope of recovery.
>>29654480so 1 don't get cancelled out by 20s?
>>29654483Don't worry anon, I'm a mechanical mastermind, leave our build to me.First thing we're doing is buying Resistance.
>>29654479That assumes Celestino allows it.
Rolled 19>>29654514They're loving Monique.
>>29654464what is magic?
>>29654498My only regret is I never had a chance to use this gif.
>>29654526Sounds like a good idea, I mean, what if run into an enemy that uses poison?
>>29654519> it will have gone full retard shounen with no hope of recovery.It always was, every since turbocunt went fullhax mode
>>29654519that SECRET POWAH is literally just him being a stubborn idiot. that or /tg/'s fanboy rage
>>29654526Perfect plan.Endurance can be our dump stat. We don't need to go fast or have HP, we can just wear huge armor to tank all the blows.
>>29654483Let's go for an anti-Sealed King build.>161 Poise>Great Magic Barrier>Chaos/Quality poisebreak weapon>Havel's/Giant/Black Iron>spend 1000 hours learning the art of unlocked combat, dead angling and counter-BSWe shall etch the word "Rekt" on Monique's broken form
>>29654529Fuck Celestino, if nothing else We've got CASTLE MANLY ESSENCE who like us to bits.
>>29654514We lose = Celestino doesn't want us anywhere near his daughter.
>>29654519at this point yes, shonen asspull territory should have come earlier if at all.
>>29654536Actually, resistance would help.We're bleeding like we've gotten our jugular cut, being able to block and not suddenly die of blood loss would help.
>>29654529Yeah, his precious daughter kissed us (pretty sure he'll have found out by now), pretty sure he'll insure we die of our wounds.
>>29654519I think that was kind of the case when we continued to fight with a broken collarbone and a pierced forearm.not to mention Monique being bashed into a wall
>>29654543what if tina just forms into a spiked armor of fuck you? we can't use it as a weapon, but still...
>>29654435I know some of us are upset. Let's take it easy. This is just a quest - a friendly, cooperative game.We haven't disgraced ourselves in the duel. Furthermore, little point in thinking about that right now. Who cares? The people who are important - our friends and loved ones - are only going to be concerned that we are in full health and tried our best. Against someone with a sealed king. We are still the best duelist in our close circle of friends. Aside from Arnaud and the insaniKNIGHTS who could have beat Monique? No one.Let's chill out and just think about our nice life that we have. This gives us something to overcome and look forward to. We finally had someone beat us! Now, we can train to beat him back. Not that we are angry or vengeful, just that we are competitive in a benign way. Let's train with Arnaud. Maybe look for leads on getting a sealed king ourselves? ORR, take the shards of our former blade and have them refurbished and reforged. Perhaps we can have a >growth story arc where we search out for better raw materials, then help to reforge the blade and legacy of our father/family. We are the new blade of Eschenwald. Just like the Sword of the Kings was reforged in lotr, our sword and life can be reforged as well. (and, our life has already been reforged. We no longer live in a whorehouse...)
>>29654549>Shatter his blade>Etch "rekt" into his armor>Spit on him as we turn to leave and mutter "git gud"
>>29654277"ONE! TWO! THREEEEE! FOUR! FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!!!"As the announcer does his ten-count, you do your damnedest to get back up. But while you spirit may be more than willing, your body......is broken."SIX! SEVEEEEEEN! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIGHT!!! NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINE!!!"As the announcer continues counting, you curse your inability to stand. God damn it, you would have had this DOWN if Monique hadn't pulled out a Sealed King out of nowhere."TEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!" the announcer screams as the crowd erupts with cheers. "WE HAVE A WINNER, FOLKS! CONGRATULATIONS TO MONIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIQUE GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILBEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAULT!!!"After giving the crowd some time to calm down, the announcer turns to Monique. "And how do you feel about your stunning win against this most difficult opponent!?""The victory feels... unsatisfying, somehow," Monique says to the announcer. "I'd wished to meet eyes with him and force him to submit, not do... this.""YOU HEARD IT HERE, FOLKS! HE'S NOT SATISFIED WITH HIS VICTORY!!!!""But I'm not the one whose victory it truly is," Monique says. "As I promised, this win is dedicated to Prince Emilio, right over... eh?"Monlque looks in the booth where he'd spotted the Prince before, but he's nowhere to be seen.Though you can't really move much of anything, you hear... footsteps."MONIQUE GILBEAULT!!!" Karel screams at the top of his lungs as he races to the center of the arena. You'd be impressed by just how fast the young swordsman is, but you can't exactly, well...>[2/?]
>>29654569>"git gud, no re"
>>29654569You forgot to use "Well, what is it?"
>>29654575right, fuck that bullshit hax crapI'm out
>>29654569>git gudOh how much I'd love to see that.
>>29654567better-we take the pommel and make a necklace out of it, then leave the shards on Volker's grave. The guy gave us a hell of a lot more than a sword
I fucking quit after this, obviously QM hacks are preventing us from winning or doing any real damage to this faggot, why even bother with this rigged fight

Rolled 6>>29654575Yay! The retarded cunts did it! We lost like a true idiot!>>29654438>>29654483But we agreed to let him use the sword.>>29654498Oh the memories>>29654539Nope, it's slice of life. And you have to learn sometimes you lose.
>>29654539good point, monique's one hell of a powergamer. And is this ice stuff REALLY legit in the sense of a duel? I mean shadowguard is NOTHING compared to that +5 cold sword of destruction
>>29654575Tough shit, Karel
>>29654583Instead of doing well, what is it? just throw VERY GOOD down.Actually, fuck swords. Let's get a scraping spear sealed king.>ARMOR BROKEN>WEAPON BROKEN>SOUL BROKEN
>>29654594Bye-bye!
>>29654575Hell yes. Monique is unsatisfied. Suck on that.
>>29654575Oh god, this is gonna be good.
>>29654575And, as predicted, the 18 was not enough.Not sure why anyone thought it would be, considering a non-critical 20 wasn't either.

>>29654626It was rigged *long* before we got beaten down.
>>29654575so after everything we did to him, cutting him and hitting him again and again, we didn't even scratch him and he lords it over us like a pompous turbocuntcongrats on kill the quest Archfuck you too
How about we don't get attached to a fucking sword and cry about it? Huh?We went around breaking swords, so having our own sword broken shouldn't faze us much. Having own swords be broken didn't bother Volker at least.Stop being pussy-pants and tarnish the legacy of the man who made us his protege. Just get a new sword. Maybe reforge this one and hang it somewhere. Or don't reforge it at all just put the pieces in a display case.
Rolled 18>>29654633daughter*
>>29654575Wait, guys... Karel doesn't look very happy. Did Archelon ever confirm the ice wall deal wasn't cheating?...OH BOY OH BOY.
>>29654627Now we have an excuse to mope around, be edgy, and have unheroic BSODs.
>>29654622Because we knew the previous DC which was a 17, rolled an 18 after giving him a major wound wihtout suffering one in turn?
>>29654575Fuck you Archelon, just fuck you.
>>29654575God dammit Arch I don't even know what to say other than it was impossible from the beginning and you're a liar. What was the DC this time 19? Yeah of course it was.
>>29654628Yeah, fuck Monique. Spit in his eye.
>>29654575Reinhold Tired. Sleep Now. whisper to the wind "What an ice way to die..."Smile
>>29654606>Look Skyward>Look Skyward>Prostration>...Proper BowReinhold Goes To Boletaria would make for one hell of a side story.Soulsucker, yeessssss
>>29654631what's bullshit? We lost. It was always gonna be hard to beat that sword and we'd have needed a miracle to do so. Besides i think monique is more hurt than we think, we just can't tell through the death-haze.
>>29654628Agreed.
>>29654575
what are the chances of Monique injuring the audience while being so fixated on us?
>>29654628He's not mad. He's just sad and disappointed at hos pathetic we are, like everyone is after that display.
>>29654638THISArch had this fight (though perhaps not this LOCATION) planned from the moment we punched him in the face.>MUH BULLSHIT DCNo, no, no, we did ridiculously well.>>29654575>Karel screams at the top of his lungs>hisTHE WORST THING OF THE DAY
>>29654575>"MONIQUE GILBEAULT!!!" Karel screams at the top of his lungs as he races to the center of the arena.Oh god based Karel.
Time to make one last ice pun before going out.Personally favoring 'chill out'
>>29654644hoping he is gonna call him on his shit
>>29654575Ignore the haters Arch, I'm loving this shit.
>>29654668This.
>>29654648> without suffering one in turnWe came out of that exchange WORSE and Monique wasn't even phased.After a 20.Why would anyone think an 18 would be any better.
>>29654623Yay! even at MY worst, i am not as bad as him.
>>29654644well its not attacking, and neither is freezing our sword, they are both manipulating the battlefield and not attack, he cheated, by Arch's own rules
>>29654668Oh just stop it.We were awesome, and you can't take that away from me.
>>29654677Same
>>29654673I favor "I'm going cold..."
>>29654575I surprised he won. He clearly used the magic sword he had for things other than attacking.
>>29654673seconding this, smile while doing so.
"To each of us falls a task and all the Princess requires from her guardsmen is that they hold the line and die fighting." "It is what we do best, we die standing."

>>29654672Dude, he's bringing the prince to Monique so he can help celebrate.
>>29654684The person with power writes the rules. He had a sealed king, so the rules are what he said they were.
>>29654575I agree with>>29654677We suffered the consequences, no changing that. Now let's watch the fallout.
>>29654684Magic swords and their effects are allowed with one or two exceptions, like lightning
Rolled 1>>29654690Awesome?Rush him like a dumbass and get knocked aside with ease?Oh please shut your stupid fucking mouth, cunt
>>29654698thisand actually get back up to do a salute before falling unconscious
>>29654673If Monique is disqualified, we should say something like "Looks like you lost your cool"
>>29654575Archelon, it would've been damn easy to just solve this.We actually got more fucking successes against him than we got failures, we just rolled an 18 after we bashed his spine. You could've given us a fucking draw instead of pulling this bullshit.
>>29654673"I feel... cold."COME ON ARCH
I'm happy Monique won, Reinhold winning against a good duelist wielding a Sealed King would've been pretty bullshit without constant 20s
>>29654575Arch I swear if Monique becomes Luci's new bodyguard after Takas term is up....
>>29654715Celestino wouldn't allow Monique to be disqualified.
>>29654698manly tearsonly issue with that is that we aren't standing
>>29654712>Oh please shut your stupid fucking mouth, cuntJesus Christ, anon. Cool down for a bit.
>>29654729What. Why?
>>29654575This is gonna be good.
>>29654677even though i agree with you I wish that at least we could get a draw
>>29654727PLEASE do that. Can you imagine being the bodyguard of a girl that hated your guts?
>Monique can win every single tournament by just freezing the swords.
>>29654724Way is the obsession with last words anyway? Just let us pass from this world (or more likely, consciousness) and be done with it.
>>29654677i love it too, only problem i have is how a spine hit that shattered steel, even if frozen, should have done a lot more than knock him down for a few seconds
>>29654725I think that we held out so long a against a Sealed King may just make Reinhold a bit famous in his own right.Also, what a dick. Monique is waffling on being a dick and being human and it is delicious.
Rolled 7>>29654740can't calm him down.
>>29654725that's a good point, but with the damage he took BEFORE the sword was revealed it wouldn't have been too far-fetched. tbh a draw would've been nice.
>>29654704"MONIQUE GILBEAULT!!! ARE YOU READY TO PARTY!?"Then Monique, Karel and Prince Emelio dance with a bunch of strippers in the arena as Reinhold bleeds to death.
>>29654712Bluhhuhhuh i didn't get what I wanted.Fuck you too pal, you just tasted life.
>>29654743on the edge of my seat about to pass out must see end
I'm not really hating just confused....18 was really high in terms of DC and i want to know the DC prior before so at least it's understandable. I'm a little angry we lossed but we made a good fight.It's just I'm still confused about the last dc
Guess her kiss of good luck ended up being a kiss of death
>>29654670i can't wait to see what happens when Monique returns back home. i bet there will be one bad ass butler waiting for him... and that sword. that butler WANTS that sealed king. and HE'S not a rookie....
>>29654747peaches
>>29654575Well, this is stupid. I'd understand us going out like a chump on a bad roll, but on an actually damn good roll it just feels stupid. We didn't even get a swing in, he just bonked us on the head and we went down. It's stupid.
To all the guys boo-hooing about Monique: you guys do realize he's as good as dead, right? He publicly displayed to the world that he has a mighty artifact of power- he's going to be killed and robbed of it before he even reaches Granche. Hell, I bet Celestino is plotting his murder right now.
>>29654721While some of the rolls were handled poorly, anything other than a loss against a sealed king would have been unfathomable bullshit.
>>29654680We came out arbitrarily worse. Thats what I find difficult to understand. He told us the DC, told us we succeeded, then packaged it with a failure so we couldn't further succeed, while ignoring any effects on the opponent. Thats...not a successBy all rights, Monique was bleeding just as badly as we given we carved him up several times. Even shallow leg wounds hamper movement.That said, this isn't an ignoble defeat.>>29654712
And now karel runs in to prove monique was cheating.
>>29654752well he does have a super-sword. That gives him an automatic edge over anyone else. But that's not to shy away from the fact he is an amazing duelist
Everybody needs to CHILL out.
Rolled 11>>29654740Come on, these guys have been acting like douchebags for a ton of time, and when they are proven wrong they pretend it all went according to plan... holy shit
I think we must go for the most terrible pun we can."It was ice to meet you... no no... I used that already."It will be tragic.
Rolled 15>>29654755right now he feels like shit since we never gave up.
>>29654759I'm juvenile, so you had the advatnage...7/10Made me giggle
>>29654741He hasn't so far. Any number of potential reasons why, but the fact is that he simply did not disqualify Monique while the fight was going.
>>29654770>THIS"HEY EVERYONE IN THE KINGDOM OF DICK-ASS RICH PEOPLE: LOOK AT MY SUPERWEAPON I FOUND IN THE WOODS"
>>29654779No everyone needs to be cool
>>29654764Sealed king don't gotta explain shit.
>>29654765I told you from the start it would be.
>>29654765I hope we will see Yan Luci now.
>>29654765Oh god it's Yoko all over again.
Rolled 17>>29654762>tasted life>a bunch of retards making poor choices>they fail and still act high and mightyYep, you're right, tasted life indeed.
>>29654575Damn. Well we tried. We never surrendered, fought to our last, and didn't give Monique the satisfaction he wanted. I guess that is good enough.
>>29654770>implying he can't kick the ass of any would-be robber>implying anyone's suicidal enough try
>>29654783"I think we can all agree that this duel was pretty cool"
Rolled 11>>29654759to be honest this image has me in tears.
I think we all need to chill out and stop being so cold to one another.
>>29654771Pretty much this.Which is why, had we broken our sword while still relatively intact ourself, we would have had a chance. The second sword would have evened the fight.
>>29654770>Hell, I bet Celestino is plotting his murder right now.
>>29654575What was the DC on this? One higher than whatever we rolled, and then we get taken out like a bitch?
>>29654764The DC for this fight is 1 higher than what we roll.
>>29654789Nah, they're too busy fawning over him. Plus Celestino is probably happy as hell that he beat Reinhold into the ground.
>>29654764I think that the low roll and the roll that meets or exceeds the DC cancel each other out, and he used the remaining roll. In this instance, the remaining roll wasn't enough.That's just my guess, though.
>>29654764Reinhold couldn't fucking move his fucking hands anymore.
>>29654789I chuckled.
Rolled 15>>29654822It was probably a 20.
>>29654822>Still being madTake a chill pill.
>>29654802You know there's bound to be some evil people out there every bit as powerful as the likes of Arnuad, Thierri, Gregory etc. who'd want that thing, right?
>>29654802There are things like poisoned wine or bolts from the shadows.Although I'd rather Monique did not meet this end. He still has a part to play.
>>29654809I think someone has to break the ice and tell Arch to SWORD THROW ATTACK
>>29654575>Emilio went to fetch the sword Monique gave him>He awards Reinhold with it right in front of him
>>29654806I can't stop picturing Emilio looking awkward as fuck the whole time and it's hilarious.
>>29654803"looks like i just got iced." collapses
What happenes to never backing downNot giving up till our last breathBliod left to be spilled bones to be brokenHahahahahahaha
>>29654825Except when we roll a 20, then the DC is a critical 20.
>>29654833doesn't make sense though. At the very least it should have stayed 17, with our blood loss equaling his missing spine
>>29654842What's up with all the sword throw fags? The hell?
Rolled 11>>29654764Do you understand:"Both arms disabled"Or is that difficult to grasp?
>>29654771Yeah, as soon as we lost momentum it was basically over, everything after that was just struggling against the tide.
I am relatively happy with this outcome.
>>29654857Old joke, from Nico sparring.It worked once.
>>29654852We didn't have any more bones left to break I think.
>>29654846>This party is too crowded>There's blood on my shoes>Reinhold won't stop dying>I wish I was at home polishing my sword
>>29654857It's Reinhold's ultimate technique. We would have won had we used it, but we decided not to show it off in front of all these people.
>>29654845The moment Emilio grows some balls.
>>29654857Gag as old as quest
>>29654857Because it's the WORST possible thing you could ever do in a duel. If your opponent loses to such a rookie move, it's the worst possible humiliation.
>>29654862I know but why give us a DC?
Rolled 14>>29654856Rein had both his arms disabled. The DC must've been a 20.
>>29654775He was clearly cheating the whole time but hey if Monique's supposed to win I guess he's supposed to win right
>>29654842>>29654857How could i not think of this beforeSword throw right above us and deprive Monique of our deathThen haunt him with twice as many voices in his head
>>29654856Cause he's not missing his spine.He got knocked out from the face plant.
>>29654771Then why bother with the rolling at all? Hell why even bother with input? Not having to wait allows for faster posting, and if the outcome is never in question no matter what we do, why bother waiting?
>>29654759>The music is loud>My feet hurt>There's blood everywhere
>>29654876I thought Reinhold's "oh shit" technique would be dual-wielding. We Volker now
All the more reason we need the Metal Sealed King.Iron is metal. Iron is in your blood. We ran out of blood.Ergo...
>>29654885It was 17 earlier, that was before we hit him in the spine and gave him a concussion.Apparently the DC increased after we got a major hit in.
Rolled 2>>29654888"hurr we can't lose, op must've been cheating"Seriously, every single quest...Stop being a faggot.
>>29654899Dual-wielding for twice as many swords for his Sword Throw Attack.
>>29654853The effect of blood loss, internal hemorrhaging, multiple concussions and the rest of our injuries worsening as they have yet to be treated. Was it really so surprising that we were getting weaker by the second?
>>29654673>>29654724>>29654779>>29654783>>29654809>>29654849
>>29654863agreed. Still, i wish monique'd been wounded enough to submit to a draw.Tbh i'm kinda hoping he doesn't get DQed here, not to sound too shonen but we lost, regardless of what sword he was using, a technical victory is meaningless at this point. We were set odds and FAILED to surpass them, them's the breaks.
>ITT: people throwing bitchfits about losing
>>29654900The Metal Elemental King guy was crafty and never got sealed.He's still around, not a sword.
Rolled 15>>29654901Do you know blood loss/shittier sword/way worse injuries catching up/not having the ice help the pain in his hand
>>29654775Monique clearly broke the rules that he himself stated right there on the field. And really, do you think anyone in this country gives a fuck about the rules so long as their preferred fighter wins?
>>29654907Can you imagine throwing TWO swords at once? Gamebreaker right there.
>>29654916There's more whining about not surrendering than losing.
>>29654894The details still matter. Sometimes the journey isn't all about the destination.
>>29654890yep. fucking hax magicI can understand him cutting us up, but even a magic saber is a saber. It isn't meant for bone breaking. So shattering our collarbone when we score a success really doesn't make sense
>>29654911hey Schteel! can we have panzers today?
>>29654918Oh yeah, damn. Looks like we'll have to find another way to increase our blood.
>>29654862This is literally the best pic I have to describe this shitstorm.

>>29654911we arnie now."stick around"
>>29654918There are twenty-something Sealed Kings at the very least, what's to say one of them is not metal?
>>29654575"Wow, it's the unexpected appearance of our own tournament victor, Karel!" the announcer exclaims. "Here to congratulate Monique here on his victory?""C... congratulate...?" Karel mutters, glaring at Monique with utter hatred in his eyes. "How the FUCK could I ever congratulate you on winning in such a BULLSHIT manner!?""Whoa, he has some strong words for our victor here!" the announcer says, trying once again to work the crowd. "That ice bullshit, how is it even considered duel-legal!?" Karel shouts as he get right in Monique's face."While I may not have used them 'as' attacks, every technique I utilized in my duel with Reinhold was an actual attack skill in itself," Monique replies. "This was declared legal by the Dueling Council of Marconetti during the battle between Enrique Barceland and Michel Brinviliers in the year of-""That's bullshit and you know it!" Kartel shrieks. "Pulling out a fucking Sealed King of all things against an opponent who you KNOW doesn't have a sword that's enchanted in any way!?">[3/?]
>>29654923What if, instead of just throwing them, we attached them together and THEN threw them, so they'd fly like a helicopter, increasing the range of the Sword Throw Attack?
>>29654911Hey german, i figured out how to get the F2 before the match
>>29654905Nah, I was actually point out the bad writing and inconsistencies throughout the duel, feel free to keep generalizing everything like a dumbass though
>>29654920And we still shouldn't have gone out like a chump.If we went down after getting one last hit in I'd be less annoyed, if we managed a clinch draw and passed out I'd be less annoyed, but instead we're made to look like an idiot in a bullshit fight.

>>29654945herewego.jpg
Yoi kmow, this outcome ism't all that surprising. ever since the sealed king reveal, this fight was literally 2 vs. 1, since that sword is sentient. Hell that probably explains why he got up afterbthe spine shot. a layer of ice could make quite the armor against that blow. monique may not even be aware that the sword might have been acting on its own, to boot.also, totally expecting a ptsd bomb to go off as soon as we awake. circumstances are very similar to past time, and citrine is even here to convenient ly explain it.

>>29654965>MUH TRAUMA>MUH PTSDI hate you idiots who keep pushing this shit
>>29654959Yeah, we'd need a miracle to beat a Sealed King.But wait, that means our loss was "certain". That means Lambda won! Haha, fuck you Bern.
>>29654945I hope you get told, Karel
When asked why we didn't surrender:"Monique, you just don't understand, do you? It wasn't about the duel, or my honor, or anything like that. It wasn't pride in myself or my skill's. It wasn't jealousy.When you broke that sword and called it a pathetic trinket...the blade of my hero, the first person to try to save my and my sister from our past...when you gloried and gloated in vain spite and belittled it and him, well...I lost the ability to respect you, Sealed King in hand or no. How could I willingly surrender to someone like that?I couldn't. I wouldn't."

>>29654945YES! BASED KAREL! tell him like it is!
>>29654945See, this is why we needed to break our sword earlier.
>>29654945I can only hope that Karel brings up the reason he feels like it was a hallow victory was because he knows that he cheated. It wasn't him, it was the sword.
>>29654998Check last thread.

>>29654945It occurs to me...there must be so much emotion going on in the VIP box with Luci, Nico, Sylvie, Mari, Melanie, Elena, Rana, Reya, Andreas, and Takamura. In the Royal Box, Agnes may be in a bad state watching us get ruined like that.In the other VIP box, the Royal Couples may or may not have changed opinions of Monique, a certain demi human prince might be a little sick in fact...This is all glorious. So fucking Glorious.
Reinhold: "Don't mind me guys, just quietly bleeding to death over here."
>>29655036Wasn't bullshit to me. Thats why I wrote it.THe gloating over the sword was the bit that got my hackles up.
>>29655046No, but it's a hilarious mental image.
>>29654965well yeah, Setsuranka can ASSUME DIRECT CONTROL, according to arch
>>296550328:30 am for me haven't slept or eaten.
>>29655046Not realy. Although I wouldn't mind Reinhold using it once outside of sparring, just because of how fucking stupid it is.
>>29655025Celestino obviously wanted Monique to continue fighting, hence why those rule violation got ignored. So Karel calling Monique out on that will at best get him in big trouble with Celestino. At worst, he could get his head chopped off.
>>29655041We just need to save what little cash we have but yeah. We have to wait friday.Dammit. German!
>>29655054Don't worry, he ate some red moss.
The writing is not of the same level as earlier work.Monique broke his own rules by using his sword magic in non-legal ways. He purposely set out to break Reinhold's hierloom and exclaimed it to the audience. And now he's hamming it up that he is the better man? And they are believing it? Noone has any exerience with dueling etiquette, not even the referee?Furthermore hits that Reinhold dealt to Monique were a non-issue, while his were debilitating. For example: cut in thigh than doing backflips, Hit on spine with no effect. This show no consistency. tl;dr. No reaction to blatent faults with regard to logic and rules. No consistency in battle with regard to bodily injuries.Dissappointing Archelon, you are a better writer than this.
>>29654945So I guess duel is over and we lost....HURRY LETS BOOST WHILE EVERYONES LOOKING AT KAREL SO WE CAN LOOK HIM DEAD IN THE EYE AND UTTER ONE LAST PUN
>>29654945I guess Karel is just channeling the butthurt in this thread.
Yeah, this Karel thing is just Arch's way of bitching out anyone who disagrees with him.
Between the thousand post shitstorms, the waifu wars, the pressure on the die rolls, and the bitchfits of some people, I'm half-expecting archelon to start getting seizures and foaming at the mouth from several brain aneurysms.

"No, Karel. Don't worry about it. This fight is nothing to get broken up about.""It was just a duel. Someone had to lose. No sense in going to pieces just because it was me.""... besides... the fact that a sealed king... could beat me... isn't such a... world-shattering... revelation.">single tear
>>29655075Useless though it is.
>>29655072Everyone was probably in awe of the Sealed fucking King and the fact that Reinhold just wouldn't go down
>>29655073>Boost to utter out more punsI like it.
>>29655070we already have enough for it, its only 5.5k and we make 7k just from cookies, but yeah, another time, another thread
>>296550669:30 here I'm so damn hungry right now but we are so close to being done.
>>29655078Archelon is the god of strife, he feeds on this shit.
>>29655072What if the ice magic of the sword is automatically keeping his wounds in check and numbing him to the pain?
>>29655039Thats not what Monique believes. Look at it this way though: You can replace You Broke with "it was broken" (correcting grammar, of course) and the meaning is the same
>>29655062agreed"this elegant technique has been passed down through the volkier family for generations!" *throws sword*
>>29655072> And they are believing it?Of course they are believing it. People believe what they want to believe. The crowd wanted to believe that Monique was the better man, so they do regardless of any evidence. That's just how people operate. They want him to win, so they ignore any cheating on his part.
>>29655072I agree.I'd have been fine with losing, but losing in such an obviously bullshit contrived manner, it makes me feel less like I'm playing a quest, and more that I'm just standing at the sidelines watching us lose like a chump and not be able to do anything about it.
Oh yeah, if anyone asks, the reason we went retard tryhard is because Grandma asked us to try our best.
>>29655072This.
>>29655078
>>29655105"....why would anybody POSSIBLY pass THAT technique down to ANYONE?" "as a warning example of what you shouldn't do."
>>29655094Actually 11.7 k you forgot what trude made with kittain
>>29655114No, no passing this off on to our Grandma. She's too cool for that.>>29653777Go with this
>>29655099Pain isn't the only inhibiting factor there. Its actually relatively minor.If it was just pain tolerance, he'd be faceplanting about now from nerve damage and bloodloss.
>>29655082or they pull a duel tech heal magic and get Reinhold back on his feet almost instantly?
>>29654991I didn't even think of it that way. Score one for Super Paper!
>>29655096Yeah, I'm holding out. Don't know why I could just read archives but /tg won't let me.
>>29655114>Grandma told us to try our best>Marianne ordered us to win>Lucianna FUCKING KISSED USIt's not just that, anon. EVERYONE we held dear to us wanted to see us win. And the fucker gloated over the shattering of the sword our father figure gave us.Reinhold was perfectly IC here. It was stupid, but it was completely and utterly IC.
>>29655072What part of "Marconetti nobility are dicks and very similar to Monique" is so hard to grasp?And this guy, >>29655089 too
>>29655090I just want more more pun anon and im willing to overcome mortal limit to get it
>>29655135we only got 7k from it though, the rest went to the scouts
>>29655087Actually, that's probably the most insulting way we could play it. "I wanted to test myself against the Sealed King, now I know the measure of such swords." Constantly reinforce the fact that we lost to the sword, not Monique. Make it a refrain on everyone's lips that the sword, not the swordsman, beat us. That Monique is nothing of note without that blade.That will do far worse damage to his reputation and psyche over time than pretty much anything else we can do at this point.
So how long will it take to fix Volker's sword?
>>29655145Super Paper da bess
page 7? Jeezwe're in deep autosage territory here
Rolled 16>>29655156Alright anon, if you say.
>>29655114Because blaming our problems on other people worked so well last time.
>>29655169It shattered. It's fucked.
>>29655164The fact that the three 'breaking/shattering' puns I slipped in there went unnoticed makes me sad.
>>29655156>KISSED USYeah, selfish bitch was distracting us just so she could have something to masturbate to later. Fucking really
Guys, can we please just calm down and wait for the scene of Monique snapping and bisecting Karel in front of us?
>>29655016It was just a normal, extremely well made sword.
>>29655181Because successes should totally break our sword and leave us in a worse position than before.
>>29655145>>29655170Its slightly depressing that the underdog heroes are almost by default backed by the ultra-evil one of the pair.
Will it finally be time for a journey to get stronger?
>>29655164I really hope we do this, yes.
>>29655191What if Karel has his own Sealed King?
>>29655169With the shards? Probably Never. The damage to the base metal and the sheer number of shards will make recovery and recasting a bitch beyond measure.
>>29655156Ah their suffering will be fucking delicious
>>29655130>"as a warning example of what you shouldn't do."isn't that basically volkier's entire technique according to agnes xD
>>29655191No im waiting for us to use boost for one last pun
>4th meal of the day because can't sleep until this is doneWhy can't I quit you?!
>>29655169Can't be fixed, we'll have to start carrying around four or five swords at a time until we can commission a replacement.
>>29655188Seriously, that should be our last words.
>>29655205What if Karel is a sealed king.
>>29655162We keep what we make, the 7k total was from all of those who helped uswe made 4.7 k in totalwhich brings up to 11.7
>>29655196that's really the only problem I've had with this scene. The writing's top-notch and it all flows together really well. It just felt like we didn't have any control over the scene.
>>29655191Nah, Karel's mom will just come down, disown Karel and marry Monique.
>Everyone is sealed kings.
>>29654945"As I said before," Monique begins, "Everything I did in my duel is perfectly legal under the precedent of-""Fuck you, and fuck your rules lawyering too!" Karel shouts as he angrily points at Monique. "You know what!? Let's see how you fare against an opponent that actually DOES have an enchanted sword!"He then unsheaths his rapier, and..."IGNITION!!"With a flash of light, Karel's sword is engulfed in bright red flames."Well, how about it, you cheating bastard?" Karel taunts. "Or are you afraid to actually face someone that who can properly defend against your bullshit?""If you absolutely insist..." Monique begins, "...I suppose I have no choice but to fight you as well."As Monique moves to unsheath his sword, you feel someone gently propping you up..."Oh... oh my God, Reinhold..." sylvie says, tears streaming down her face. "Are you okay?">[4/?]
What if the entire setting takes place inside of a giant Sealed King?
>>29655228ah coolthen we might be able to get some other stuff before the match
>>29655233What the hell do you think, Sylvie?
>>29655196We succeeded in not dying then and there. Without the 1, maybe the sword would have held for another attack. But that was a saving throw not a standard attack roll.
>>29655233well fuck
>>29655233"I FEEL LIKE SUNSHINE RIGHT NOW!"
>>29655169Actually more worried about our injuries. We have absolutely no idea what kind of damage a sealed king can do. and considering that its an ice sword, I'm legitmately concerned about frostbite setting in on our wounds,
>>29655237We are Kings.
>>29655233Chill out Karel, no reason to get so heated up.

>>29655233Come on... Say it... SAY IT...
>>29655233"Why can't we all just chill out?"
>>29655233I feel like a barrel of PUNS"Heal me right here Sylvie I need to get out ONE MORE PUN" with fire in his eyes
>>29655049I hope Arch does scene changes next thread.
>>29655230thisI felt really helpless during the fight. It felt more like a cutscene than something that required our input
>>29655258
>>29655233tell karel to stop, he's just embarrassing himself and us.
>>29655233Like sunshine and unicorns Sylvie.

>>29655270We could've stopped any time we wanted. We just didn't really want to.
>>29655258this, very much this
>>29655258THis!
>>29655258Gotta do it, bro.
>>29655233"Not really, no!"
>>29655233Karel, I love you.I don't care if you're a man or a woman. Marry us.

>>29655233"Stop it Karel. Monique is no state to duel you. If you want to fight him you have to challenge him properly to another match at a later date."
>>29655233"Take a guess."
This is it. This is the moment we've been waiting for.Tell everybody to Chill out.
>>29655258This so hard this
>>29655233"It's cool, Sylvie. Just need... to... slee..."
>>29655233So am i the only one that thinks that luciana was hoping we would win because of her wedding plans?
>>29655305But Monique is uninjured.
>>29655270It would've been nice if he took a single player suggestion about how to fight into account, or gave us something for thinking up ways to work with our strengths and target Monique's weaknesses.But no, we just sworded, and sworded some more, and there was nothing but rolling d20s until Archelon decided to tell us we lost.
>>29655258i see no reason to break with the puns
Thierry must be fucking restraining Gregory from giving Monique the worst end right now.
>>29655233>Karel starting an unsanctioned duel>Sylvie on the fieldSo, Luci is going to make in onto the arena just in time to get accidentally wasted by Monique. Takamura ends Monique and we've kicked off a war with Marcotti. Nice...
>>29655258Fuck yes
>>29655283THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS
>>29655258No brakes on the pun train
>>29655314Of course she was, good thing her plans were utterly ruined
>>29655258This and>>29655254This.
>>29655283THIS PLEASE
>>29655321Monique won the battle but lost the war.
>>29655325Luci is probably with her father trying to get him to disqualify and/or arrest Monique.
>>29655305this, let's not come across as assfrustrated
>>29655305Monique isn't even hurt.
>>29655233huh. Surprised Sylvie bead Luciana down here
>>29655233>"Oh... oh my God, Reinhold..." sylvie says, tears streaming down her face. "Are you okay?""Not really, no."
>>29655321The entire Royal box is probably a giant dogpile on top of Greg right now.
>>29655258>Not laying off the stupid puns till the very end
>>29655318He isn't. We sliced him good two or three times.
I think the time for puns has passed.We would have yielded...but he gloated about breaking Volker's sword. He reveled in it. He belittled it.I voted for yield...but I'm okay with how things are going. We got our shit stomped, but we stood up to a Sealed King in the hands of an opponent with comparable skill to our own, with no magic ourselves. How many people in this setting can do that.
>>29655233Yeah, fantastic. Nothing but gumdrops and ice-cream over here.
>>29655319This. We weren't even allowed to keikaku
>>29655345Well, we did hit him.But no, he isn't hurt, he isn't slowed down the slightest bit by anything we did.
>>29655233"Well, I've most certainly been better."
>>29655254Supporting this.
>>29655351>Gregory right now
>>29655356Which did nothing. He's not injured in any way that could hinder his ability to fight.
>>29655321the fuck? therri would race him down there. it celestino and the queen I'm sure.
>>29655342I don't see how, he has the public on his side.
>>29655358>I voted for yield...but I'm okay with how things are going. We got our shit stomped, but we stood up to a Sealed King in the hands of an opponent with comparable skill to our own, with no magic ourselves. How many people in this setting can do that.About 90% of the people we know.
>>29655254>>29655258>>29655267>>29655283>>29655310
>>29655351and Luciana's being physically restrained by everyone else we know right behind us, with Marianne frantically countering some particularly nasty spells she's trying to throw at Monique
>>29655344We are assfrustrated, the mere fact that we charged at him at the end shows that we are fucking mad
>>29655375Gregory isn't the public.
>>29655343Shes going to end up marrying that boy you know. Any lad that can get his hands on a sealed king has to be alright.
>>29655379True...Arnaud, Gregory, and Vincent could probably wipe the floor with Monique right now.
>>29655371either way he'll be at least slightly tired or winded.
Rolled 4>>29655389This is what the "SHOUNEN TIEM" guys don't seem to get.
>>29655353>Reinhold's final words NOT being a punpls no
>>29655393Works for me, best couple imo.
>>29655375Gregory doesn't give a single fuck about the public
>>29655361We got a success. So that means we'll break our sword and not actually do anything significant to our opponent.Instead of getting into an advantageous position and bashing his face in with our frozen chunk of sword, we knocked him away like a fucking idiot.We never even tried to get him in a clinch or grapple, or make use of dirty tricks, throwing dirt in his eye. Nothing we said made a single fucking difference.
>>29655391> implying Gregory can do anything about Monique now
>>29655375hahaha but he pissed off Gregory
>>29655356Back, leg, left chest, thigh and a minor concussion we gave almost as good.as we got
>>29655394Monique isn't already close to their level of skill on his own.
Just in the hopes of putting everything in perspective (I think):People aren't annoyed or frustrated that we LOST, exactly. Its the manner that we lost that is frustrating. When you're good rolls make you worse off without doing anything good for you, people feel like said rolls are wasted and that their interest was wasted.There's a certain amount of excitement in gambling, and thats part of why its addictive. Dice rolling is just gambling with different stakes. By making it so that our successes hurt us just as much as anything else while simultaneously NOT visibly hurting the opponent, it gives the impresson that everything is fixed from the outset. It doesn't matter if me get 20 under 21 in blackjack when the dealers going to take everything from us even if he loses.
>>296552589/10...and man Rein has a bed time with Ice.
>>29655397And then the sword will assume control and wreck Karel. Best end.
>>29655379>>29655394Not that guy, but >comparable skill
>Marie and Sylvie corner Moniquehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKUdhImjEAo
>>29655397He doesn't seem to be.>>29655413That doesn't matter, he has an autowin in his pocket
>>29655411no, we should have given as good as we got. we gave shallow cuts with a broadsword while he shattered bones with a saber
>>29655389give up and accept he beat us when he shatters and BELITTLES volkier's swords and turns full turbocunt. Nah mate, can't back down to that on principle
>>29655413And doesn't Arnaud have a Sealed King of his own? Gregory stated it didn't he? ...Mother of god, just who the fuck is Arnaud.
>>29655411Bullshit. He was doing fucking flips and jumps after we cut his leg, cutting his shoulder and arm didn't slow his swordsmanship down a single notch, hitting him in the spine didn't slow him down whatsoever, in fact we things got harder after we did it.He didn't show any sign of injury.
>>29655443> turbocuntVery few people here think he is one.
Lol it's two extremes with this, arc.if its not winning with no chance of loss iTs lose with no chance of winningand this time we lost because you wanted to ham up some karel development
>>29655440Yea but his saber was a sealed king.
>>29655452No.He searched for ages for one, but never found it.
>>29655452Reinhold's father
>>29655416well said. it feels like a rail road now.
>>29655379>an opponent with comparable skill to our own>Implying Reinhold isn't the better swordsman
>>29655459That's not true. We've rolled very well for every duel before this one, and we almost always had a defining critical success that decided the match.The streak had to end at some point.
>>29655452The main character from a previous game in the series
>>29655466I'm thinking uncle actually
>>29655416There's also the fact that Arch gave an explanation of how the duel rolls worked, but half the results that actually occurred don't fit with that.
>>29655459The fuck does Karel have to do with it?
>>29655453That the point I'm marking we gave him injuries but he cheats. Dozen it say sealed kings also give improved vitality somewhere?
>>29655233>[5/5]"I... I'm chill..." you choke out as you attempt to smile at the crying girl."At least you're able make bad jokes, but... your arms are just- oh God..."As Sylvie carefully helps you back to the preparation room, Karel stares Monique down."Ready whenever you are, you cheating fuck," Karel says."Very well, then I shall take the first attack..." Monique says as he takes a low stance and dashes towards the blonde-haired swordsman......and doubles over, coughing up blood."Wh- what the hell?" Karel says as he backs away from Monique, who has blood gushing from his mouth."D... damn it, what now..." Monique mutters as he looks at his sword. "Oh, I see... hahaha... hahahahahaha... all of my ribs are broken and you kept me from..."And then Monique Gilbesult lands face-first on the arena ground.
>>29655456When he started gloating about breaking our sword? Yeah, I wanted to fucking murder him right there, and I voted to yield.
>>29655416Completely agree, also kinda felt like we were always going to lose after Monique's giga asspull
>>29655416This it felt like the game was rigged from the start and nothing we could do to change it felt like it was like a book not a questBesides those oneliners atleast
>>29655416Essentially this
>>29655495>And then Monique Gilbesult lands face-first on the arena ground.GETFUCKEDASSHOLE
>>29655495I KNEW it was the sword.
This could have ended way worse. At least Reinhold didn't get executed.So how long before the BBEG's animu villain group shows up and wrecks our shit with Sealed Kings?
>>29655460yes, which is why his cuts could be deeper-the blade is magically sharp. But you need more weight to break bones, slicing into them with a sharp sword is just liable to have the sword catch in them and lose you a weapon for precious seconds
>>29655495WELP, THERE'S OUR SATISFACTION
>>29655495>MUH BACK INJURY-fags get fucking told
>>29655456acting out like that after breaking your sword on purpose, pretty much turbocunt. However we aren't going to agree on this one so let's just leave at that k? inb4 reply.
If we're able to we should thank Setsuranka for the duel while ignoring Monique because that guy went full cunt and let's face it she(?) won the duel.
>>29655495so the sword was helping him cheat
>>29655495Well, that's something, I guessAt least he still won
>>29655416Yeah, the entire end sequence of the fight felt as railroaded as it could possibly get.Roll a 20, he shrugs it off and your sword is broken.Roll an 18, you don't even get a chance to swing before he hits us on the head.What's the point of having rolls if there isn't a chance of doing anything. We deserved a damn draw from this.
>>29655459There was a chance of winning but it got severely diminished by consecutive failures.Those few very low rolls after sealed king was revealed pretty much determined rest of the fight, as it put the difficulty check out of realm where it could be reasonably expected to be beaten.
>>29655495welp, that explains a lot
>>29655495THAT MOTHERFUCKING SWORD WAS KEEPING HIM GOING ALL THIS TIME.
>>29655495Its a draw!!thanks archelon
>>29655459Anons -- lay off of arch. Let it go until the end of the thread or something. Forget about the fact that we should simply treat him, and each other, with some ounce of RESPECT, but arch is the key to this whole quest happening. So unless you want to go back to fapping away your weekend nights alone quit bitching at him and blaming him for an entertaining story. It was a fucking epic duel, and what exactly have we lost by losing......???
>>29655495There are you fuckers happy to ld you he was playing tough.
>>29655495SUCK IT TURBOCUNTwander over to Setsuranku and give her a hand shake and say "good game"
It's pretty clear to everybody that Monique couldn't have beaten Reinhold without abusing every possible rule in existence. I'm pretty sure he's banned from the dueling circuit for fighting so dishonorably.
>>29655493>>29655495I fucking New it
>>29655485Having Karel flip out is Arch's way of saying fuck you to anyone questioning QM declarations of why the bullshit cheating magic isn't cheating.
>>29655495FUCKIGN SWORD
>>29655495USE THE BOOST WE HAVE TO TELL HIM OUR PUN"LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED TO 'CHILL OUT' MONIQUE HAHAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAAHAHAHAHAH"
>>29655495"I knew it was the sword."
>>29655495#GETREKT
>>29655518>Being this asspained
Monique's sword beat us not him. Reinhold is still the better swordsman. I would have hoped that the injuries he sustained would have appeared to actually make a difference, though. It kinda feels like we were always meant to lose this. Welp let's see where the narrative goes from here.
Rolled 12>>29655495DISQUALIFIEDUSING MAGIC FOR ASSIST PURPOSESHAHAHAHAHHAAHGET REKT
>>29655495Being held together by magic HAS to be illegal
>>29655495Ahahahahahaha. Well, that's amusing. We do actually apace a draw here. Unless he dies, then we should probably give him the win. His family might appreciate that gesture.
God damn cheaty sword.
>>29655528Surely that can't be classified as attack magic?
>>29655495see you in the infirmary
>>29655495Sagelynod.gif
>>29655495>sword keeping him from fallingThat's not cheating HOW?
>>29655495>"D... damn it, what now..." Monique mutters as he looks at his sword. "Oh, I see... hahaha... hahahahahaha... all of my ribs are broken and you kept me from..."That fucking cheating sword!
>>29655565Maybe it is. Even he didn't know he was cheating apparently.
Rolled 5>>29655553Yup.Wasn't used for attack purposeshence:DISQUALIFIEDHELOST!
>>29655531not a draw, he won. We just had the satisfaction of seeing him fall afterwards.
>>29655532>treat the person feeding you shit wellpls no hugbox
>>29655495Disqualified for using a magical weapon in a manner that was not an attack.He did so before Reinhold gave us, so technically he lost.
>>29655559YOU'RE RIGHT.GOT HIMSELF DISQUALIFIED HE DID.
>>29655495So he basically didn't feel pain because of the sword. Pretty sure that is HIGHLY illegal.
>>29655495Does that make it a tie?
>>29655565oh it is. I believe it's been mentioned that sanctioned swords can be enchanted with any non-Lightning attack magic. Meaning Monique basically entered this match on heroin
>>29655544PUNS FOR THE PUN GOD
>>29655548>Generic greentext insults
>>29655495THE SWORD HAS NO HONOR! TOSS IT INTO A VOLCANO!
>>29655495Now THAT was not attack magic.
>>29655495THIS IS WHY YOU PERSEVERETHIS IS WHY YOU NEVER, EVER SAY DIETHIS IS WHY YOU NEVER SURRENDERIf we'd ever voluntarily given up that would have been it. We've proven that we'd have shattered him fairly. We have won.
THOSE OF YOU WHO DOUBTED ARCHELONTHOSE OF YOU WHO SWORE TO LEAVE AND NEVER RETURNARE YOU NOT ASHAMED?HAVE FAITH IN OUR QUEST MASTER.HE SHALL NOT LEAD US ASTRAY.
>>29655559>>29655565>>29655555>>29655553>>29655551>>29655495seems that someone broke his own rules
Oh no. I just realized that we're going to have to go shopping for a sword.
>>29655565Because Celestino didn't want the fight to end. So it wasn't called cheating.
>>29655495"A sword keeping him standing is not attack magic. He cheated, and therefore lost before I did.And with that, I'm going to fall unconscious."
>>29655559Sure it can. He was attacking his nervous system's communication ability.
>next thread: Reinhold and Monique are put into the same room in infirmary as they recover
>>29655495Seems like the sword defeated both Reinhold and Monique. We ought to anounce Sakuratananaga the winner.
>>29655495Oh sweet, the only reason he didn't pass out before us was because of his cheatswordSounds pretty illegal to me but whatever
>>29655590More like PCP
Rolled 14>>29655581NopeAccording to the duel rules he's disclassified because he used enchantments/magic for non attack purposes.Simply: HE LOST FOR BREAKING THE RULES HAHAH
>>29655580>>29655579>>29655567maybe if he didn't do it purposefully it isn't cheating...the sword did it not him.Plus the results are already out. Maybe a victory can't be strippedonce given, we don';t know the dueling rules inside out.
>>29655603no we don'tthe second ours broke, Luciana went to the vault to find us a Balder Swag Sword +15
>>29655600...I'm pretty sure that they guys that left can't hear you
>>29655600>HE SHALL NOT LEAD US ASTRAYGod, the QM cocksucking in this thread is ridiculous.
>>29655581reed the posts that i liked here>>29655602and this>>29655597
>>29655607We already went down for the count before the cheating was revealed, so in this country we lost.
>>29655610YesssssI like this
>>29655495Send Sylvie to heal him first. We're stable, who knows just how bad Monique's condition actually is.
>>29655495AHA! The Magic of the Sealed King was keeping him together, THAT has to be against the rules maybe?
>>29655416>>29655495See, arch, and now I don't know if you intended this or if this is an attempt at mollification.My default reaction is to usually assume the former since I like to trust people, but this kinda stuff always frustrates players because its impossible to know if someones jerking our chains (Happened in Hollowquest during Fenrir)
>>29655495I love you Arch. I was sitting here smiling the whole time because this was fucking entertaining, and no matter how it would turn out I would love it.But this takes it. My dried out winter-lips are bleeding from the smiling.It was worth the wait.
Oh god, of poor fucking Monique.Losing is one thing, but losing after the fact because you got caught using magical steroids, that you didn't even know you were using. THAT is the worst way to lose.But my sympathy meter is at zero after his taunts.
>>29655634Pretty sure people get disqualified if they get caught on drug tests.
>>29655610This is going to end like one of those cartoons were they spend 3 weeks in body casts fucking with each other.
>>29655495RULES OF NATURE
>>29655627>implying I haven't earned the right to be an uppity shit after a whole night of DSP-tier "WOOOOW BUGGED DUEL MECHANICS I DONT EVEN GET A CHANCE TO SWING MY SWORD WOOOOOOW"
>>29655640>>29655649The rules are what the person with power says they are.
>>29655632posted that before i read archelon's last post. But yes my point is invalid.
>>29655618OHBut he should've known before using a clearly enchanted sword.No excuses:Monique's OUTLOSTFAILEDDISCLA-FUCKING-SSIFIED
>>29655495AH! Monique still loses to cheating! the sword was casting magic on him to not feel the pain. ergo, using magic in a duel IS illegal! HE LOSES! Rein WINS!
>>29655640Comm, this is no longer about winning, it's about whether either participant survives. Chill with the technicalities.
>>29655654Right now, Monique hasn't got shit.
>Kickstarter finally gets made>Stretch Goal is Monique Side Story>Only route for him is Setsuranka Route
>>29655651>3 more weeks>50 more threads FULL of PUNSYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYESYES
>>29655532>It was a fucking epic duel, and what exactly have we lost by losing......???True that. The post count is evidence to that.Also, people whining about getting shit results even with good dice. We went against a LEGENDARY sword in the hands of a master swordsman. The fact that we made so much hurt is more surprising than the other.Are you kind of idiots who think it is totally okay for a peasant teen to roll a 20 and kill a veteran knight with a pitchfork?>inb4 we had beaten him beforeyeah, by breaking his sword which made him disqualified.
Rolled 2>>29655495MONIQUE, DON'T YOU DARE TO FUCKING DIE ON ME HERE
>>29655654I have no idea where you're pulling that from, but it's fucking retarded. the rules are what his great grandfather laid down when he developed them.
>>29655672Celestino, however, does.
>>29655641That said arch, if that was your intent as I'm choosing to believe because I typically like your quest:You cheeky fuck. Good show on trolling everyone. And i mean EVERYONE. Bravo.
>>29655584I don't even care if we win or not. If he didn't get caught maybe he'll still count himself as the victor. But regardless, /we/ know we won. We're the better swordie. And Reinhold should not care what the other nobles think of this duel. The only things that should matter to him are:1. He prevailed against a really strong opponent who had an "I win" button.2. His sword broke because his super turbocunt opponent couldn't get over a single grudge and had to use magic to win instead of fighting with his own skills.I don't think being in good terms with Monique is impossible, but it's damn sure going to be a pain in the ass now.
I like arch and all but the execution and timing between posts here is pretty poor. [Not sure if it's his fault or not, seeing the format of quests on the latter.]I really don't wanna believe he's bending his story [and back] over for everyone asspained, but that's what is looks like when you look at Anon's cries between posts.
>>29655654oh it doesn't matter what the rules areMONIQUE knows he was not the better man.And since the duel was all him trying to get an ego boost, he lost handily
>>29655673>other routes>You try but girl turns you down no matter what>Pushed into setsuranka route anyways
Reinhold is in no condition to help stop the inevitable assassination attempt.
>>29655654And I'm going to bet Karol, and probably Gregory as well, are going to be yelling this from the rooftops.I don't think Celestino is THAT invested in the outcome to just ignore them.
>>29655607Guys, I think Monique is just as much a cheating tool motherfucker as you, but if we go and say something like that THERE goes our own personal dignity. I don't care how others see us or what our official duel record becomes - if we go, asspain cranked up to 11, after the win we jsut look that- asspained.Personally, I can't see Reinhold feeling anything other than a somber happiness that he got to participate in such an epic fucking duel against a Sealed King. That has got to boost your ego. It's like going up against Ali and lasting nine rounds, and Ali is only barely standing afterwards. Our sword was broken, yes, but we'll focus on and fix that later. It's separate from our performance.
>>29655603What was broken, can be reforged.
>>29655651>>29655610I hope spiteful faggots don't ruin everything just to be spiteful
>>29655679He pulled out that whole "well, in this tournament it was decided that technically magic is allowed if X."If a person with power decides that their conduct is an exception to the rules, that's the rule.
>>29655678"Anon.. I'm gay.." Monique's last words.
>>29655704I'm hoping it was a clean break and isn't that hard to reforge.
>>29655651"hey cheer up monique, take the time to heal up and cool off."
>>29655701But Rein needs not say anything.Everyone saw Monique's cheat exposed, Karel heard his words.It's clear, the sound amplification magic allows everyone to know:Monique loses for cheating
>>29655662It's qualified. L2engrish. And if anything, his would constitute a draw, seeing as the sword did so of its own accord, notice Monique was unaware of the numbing.
>>29655683>But regardless, /we/ know we wonworse, monique knows we wonand thank you arch you glorious mother fucking turtle
>>29655701This is true, we got to fight a sealed king, which is awesome.Though when the feelings of all of our friends get to us...oh man will we feel guilty.
>>29655676>Monique>master swordsmanheh
>>29655730Doesn't really matter, he still won because of that. He should've checked his sword enchantments before fucking it up.
>>29655737You think the assassins are going to strike while we're out of commission?
>>29655737>oh man will we feel guiltyNo we won't, fuck off. Dueling and getting hurt is to be expected. We were a soldier, anyone who can't handle us getting hurt can go fuck themselves.
>>29655701I hope you really don't think Monique cackling like a saturday TV-Show villain over breaking our memory sword didn't Affect Rein.I hope you don't think he's going to get over the fact that sword is broken easily either.
>>29655741But he legitimately is. He's a condescending, arrogant prick with a persecution complex, but he's still incredibly competent.
>>29655700Karel and Gregory are meaningless in this country. Their opinions are worth less than nothing. People are more likely to think the opposite if they say something. Karel is disliked by the nobles for not being noble, and Gregory is disliked for being, well, GREGORY.
>>29655676>>inb4 we had beaten him before>yeah, by breaking his sword which made him disqualified.It's his own damn fault for parrying a broadsword with a rapier. This fact alone is enough to cement Monique as a low-tier swordsman at best.
>>29655727>the sound amplification magicOH MONIQUE YOU POOR FOOL
>>29655757Good, that will give Luciana toys to play with since she can't release her anger on Monique.And Sylvie could use a punching bag.
>>29655717that sounds more like they were defining the rules, not breaking them. Seeing as how these rules didn't exist until a couple generations ago.
>>29655771EVERYBODY HEARD HIS WORDS.Hahahahah
>>29655757I'm pretty sure Gregory won't mind taking over guarding for a bit while we recover.
>>29655717>If a person with power decides that their conduct is an exception to the rules, that's the rule.he was using pre established rules to his example and loopholing it, but everything he did was legal (baring the sword buffing him) from a technical standpoint. it's ruleslawyering, but it's not wrong
>>29655768Greg is the King's brother in law.And he's not so much disliked as he terrifies the everliving shit out of everyone.
>>29655757Marie will probably have Greg, or maybe Rana and Reya since they seem to be in favor with the kingly types, glued to her while we're healing.And Taka seems plenty capable of mulching these assassins.
>>29655750NO NO. IT'S NOT LIKE I SAID IT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A DRAW OR ANYTHING. Why the fuck do I even post. It's not like half you chodes can even read what's said.
>>29655757not with motherfucking gregory around. Assuming they value their lives, the lives of their family, and the lives of anyone in the immediate vicinity.
>>29655676>master swordsmanmore like master cheater, his sword was basically assuming direct control and keeping him from feeling pain.
>>29655737why would we feel guilty? The only one who might not have expected both us and Monique to be unconscious at the end of this is Luciana, and that's only because she didn't know Monique is a bullheaded as us
>>29655780And I think we now have a very good excuse to spend some time with Agnes learning the proper form for the family style.
Just how long has the turtle been running?
>>29655810Forever.
>>29655766I agree, but I emphasized that the sword was separate from our performance. I don't want Rein to think that, because the sword was broken, he performed poorly in the duel.As a matter of fucking fact, Volker was KNOWN for breaking swords, so breaking his sword is, what,... like honoring him almost.I expect Rein to be upset the sword was broken, but it wasn't his fault. He did a good job. A great job. I'm proud of him.And yes, Monique's a cheeky cunt who I am jealous got a fucking HAX sword. Oh well.
>>29655801>assuming direct controlbut the prize!
>>29655810Almost 12 hours, anon.
This was really fun. I liked these threads.Wanna keep going and try to break 10k total posts?
>>29655777The previous rule was no magic. Then they went back and changed in a particular tournament so that magic would be allowed in a particular form. Why? Probably because someone with power, or the favor of those in power, used magic in that form and otherwise would have been cheating, but were able to get the rules rewritten to their benefit. That's ultimately how judge made law works. What the law actually says doesn't matter, what the people with power want the law to say is what matters.
>>29655810Current thread is at 2000 posts, previous one was at 2200don't remember how many the first one had
>>29655810We're approaching 12 hours I think.
>>29655495Best fucking shit ever. I squealed like a bitch. Also fucking haxsword.
>>29655495>Get Monique a fucking healer before the internal bleeding kills him.
I can only imagine the Sword SCREAMING in Moniques head as he talked:"NO NO DON'T SAY IT OUT LOOOOOOUUUD....!"
>>29655823plz no, I shoulda taken my contacts out 8hrs ago.
>>29655810Since 11 PST, that fuck.I have work in 2 hours and I'm going to feel like shit aaaaaaaa
>>29655810Since like 8 or 9pm eastern.
>>29655495If Reinhold's first course of action now isn't trying to salvage his sword, I'll be disappointed.
>>29655823we'll autosage off the board before that.
>>29655757I bet theyre going to snatch the sword
>>29655810to him, sleep is for the weak.
>>29655810I think he may have stopped after the last post. I expected him to say "thread ends here" but oh well.
>>29655841We already passed 5000 with our 3 threads
>>29655832he has to. his "way of the gentleman" requires him to act like a ponce at all times and undo any great achievement he accomplishes
>>29655831Nothing of value will be lost if he does.
>>29655767you have to look back and reconsider the word master when people like arnaud exist, and Monique couldn't even beat Reinhold fair and square this time
Its been a LONG night. and day.But I am tired now, and will succumb to the wicked grip of Sleep now.The three threads have been... something. But if more people enjoyed the ride than hated it, I suppose that makes it worth it in the end. To be honest, some of it got to me for a bit and I honestly considered stopping entirely after this duel was done with, but... I am stubborn.And for those who were wondering, I don't change character reactions due to complaints, they will act how they will act depending on the circumstances. Karel was always going to flip out on Monique, but his reaction would have varied depending on whether Reinhold won/lost, in addition to his condition at the end of the duel.The only thing that I did add in there was Monique's comment, which was supposed to start the next thread but I honestly need to take a break from this shit before you people have me dead from exhaustion.Honestly, this is the worst hobby ever......and thanks for playing.
Okay guys, the duel is over.How many threads till we are back home?Place your bets! Place your bets!!
>>29655825Arch never said the previous rules were "no magic". Your making that up to support your argument.
>>29655832Also>tfw Monique is more assertive with women than we areHe has his own personal sword waifu. Remember when /tg/ wanted Reinhold to have a sword waifu, BADLY?...Yeah. Yeah, Monique got the sword waifu first.
>>29655823I've got enough caffeine in me for whatever the aftermath of this is, then I'm dead for the day.Hell, I'm probably going to sleep through my tabletop gaming night. Totally worth it though.
>>29655825>The previous rule was no magic.no, the rule was only magic from a sword and only if attack form. his ice wall stuff was legal because of technicalities and loopholes, but was still legal. the rules didn't change
>>29655848and right after I say it>>29655855For what it's worth, I enjoyed it.
>>29655855THANK you Arch. Don't listen to the retards, this shit is golden.
>>29655855Thanks for writing, go get some sleep
>>29655842I think Karel's getting fired for deserting his post at a highly public event, but that the girls still have enough protection in that box to be considered safe.
>>29655855Get some sleep, dude. You did good.
>>29655855good day archelon sleep well
>>29655855I love you too, you crazy bastard.
>>29655842Oh it would be hilarious if Monique lost his Sealed King. Nobody would take him seriously anymore because everybody thinks that he NEEDS that sword in order to be able to put up a fight against a magicless peasant with sharp piece of metal.
>>29655855Rest in peace you glorious bastard.
>>29655855Thanks for the wild run Arch, was fun and I applaud your fortitude sir. Stay awesome.
>>29655855Thank you for running.
>>29655859> Honestly, this is the worst hobby ever......and thanks for playing.Writing is hard.Thanks for writing, you glorious bastard.
>>29655855You done good, OP.
>>29655855> depending on whether Reinhold won/lostYou can drop the pretense.
>>29655855thanks based archelon, ignore the retards who can't appreciate the effort you put in.Literally best quest i've ever followed.
>>29655855Goodnight you glorious golden god you, see you in four hours.
>>29655865Ntr the sword waifu, go on grand adventure making puns the entire time.
>>29655855So...next thread tonight?G'night you crazy machine, you.
>>29655855Loved the thread Arch, goodnight sweet turtle.
>>29655855this group of threads are likely the best so far sleep well bro
>>29655855Thanks arch.Today was good fun.Appreciate your work.
>>29655855Sleep well.
>>29655855thank you
>>29655887We could just go by the "first to three points" rules if we ever have a rematch.
>>29655855Thanks for running for so long.and now, I, too, must fall into a deep slumber.
>>29655855That was amazing. The last two lines completely made my day.This was always going to be the big event where shit went down, and whenever those happen some people will be left dissatisfied. It's the nature of the game.
>>29655855You need to embrace the chaos you create. DRAW STRENGHT FROM THE THOUSAND VOICES CRYING OUT IN AGONY!
>>29655855the only thing I'm really bothered about is the waifu stuff, mostly not your fault though.
>>29655855Thanks for running. And good to hear that you stick to your guns. I enjoy this Quest because it's Archelon running it and not a dozen angry anons.Keep doing what you do and people will keep coming back.Now go and get some sleep, you crazy turtle. You desrve it.
>>29655855Thanks.At least I enjoyed it.
>>29655855Great threads Arch, go get some sleep you magnificent bastard
>>29655855Good morning Arch. Today was a good day.
>>29655855you do good work Archelon, you get us all so worked up over your quest. it means we're hooked in, that is good. go get some sleep, we'll see you later tonight i hope.
>>29655855While I might disagree with some things you do, I still appreciate what you do.
>>29655855I had lots of fun I laughed harder than I have in a couple of months was loads of fun.
>>29655724REINHOOOOOOLD! >Impotently squirms in body cast<
>>29655855sorry for all that archelon and thanks for not giving up rest well man you really deserve>Honestly, this is the worst hobby ever...I see from were you are coming but is a pity that due to this threads you fell this way
>>29655855we should crawl over to Setsuranka and say "So, come here often baby?"
>>29655855Three more threads!Three more threads!Encore! Encore!
>>29655855This duel has been a long time coming, and you definitely didn't dissapoint. Cheers, arch
>>29655855No one except a few were actually angry or truly upset with the quest or you I think. The mechanics used and the powersets used made things feel...stilted due to the inherent nature. As I said, hollow quest had something similar happen with the Fenrir battle. When the GM hints that things work a certain way but then no matter how well we roll the clues just don't jive with it, a tabletop Gamers first instinct is usually that there's something fishy going on behind the GM screens, whether it's true or not. Pain Tolerance or "pwoers that make it look like your not hurt when you are" are the biggest contributors to that.
>>29655946I for one love the fact Reinhold has his very own rival that will always stay a rival because both characters act like idiots towards each other.
>>29655951Three-peat repeat?
>>29655855Still a glorious bastard.Loved it, there will always be shit posting, but that's people freaking out before engaging their brain.
>>29655855These threads made me happier than I've been in a while.Probably says more about the state of my life than the quality of these threads, but I was happy damnit!
>>29655855I enjoyed it, shitflinging and all. Just don't become a dick like the Saiyan quest guy.
Rolled 7>>29655855You are awesome.
So hang on.Monique is now unconscious on the ground.Which means the Sealed King is right there.I'm betting Celestino is going to try to keep it.
So.What are we going to do about our newfound lack of sword? Hope that Emelio gives us the Steel Fragment Blade thing?
>>29655855Thanks arch. Great fucking thread.
>>29655989We're going to get one that will be forged in Princess tears.The Princess Breaker.
>>29655855also, i called it last night that this would be a 3 thread deal.
>>29655855Joining you in sleep Archelon, thread(s) was great, ignore the barbs
>>29655989Voelker it up. Buy a bunch of swords.Also, I will crack up if Monique and Reinhold end up bonding in teh hospital ward.
>>29655989We need to crawl over and take the Sealed King as compensation for the fact that Monique cheated in order to break our sword.
>>29655989Tina blade.
>>29655946"jesus man you'll tear out your stitches, take a chill-pill before you so yourself some harm!"ok i'll stop now
>>29655974Amen to that, though you really need to try pretty hard to reach that level. It's probably the worst quest that's running on /tg/ right now, simply because the way he runs the thing is that not only do you need to fight against the NPCs, you also need to fight against the passive-aggressive QM. You can only become that bad if you REALLY try.
>>29655989There were a bunch of good swords in the armory that we saw back in the castle. We can probably get one from there after all of this.
>>29655989It's not like swords can't be repaired. That's what smiths are for. Or we grab a couple swords from Agnes's wall of weapons and start dual wielding and draw a new one whenever one breaks. Or work with Niklaus to merge our bracelet with our sword to get a blade that shifts and twists in response to our thoughts.
>>29655855>not shooting caffeine in your eyeballs and keep going for 6 more threadsweakpathetic
>>29655855Ignore the faggots, it was fun. Sleep well
>>29656054He's immune to caffeine.
>>29655973i know that feeling>>29655989i hope we get a temp one from granny's giant collecction, then when we get back get niklaus to mod the shards to be compatible with bracelet, giving us an amorphous weapon
>>29655989Its that, Tina Blade, or we go full Volker Style until we get a suitable replacement or Agnes shows us how to not shatter swords left and right.It might even be straight-up reparable but I worry that being broken will have removed it's even-Swordbreaker-style-can't-break-me property.
>>29656054>not sticking ground up coffee to your urethraWeakPathetic
>>29656044or we get lessons from agnes to actually fix the errors in our style.
>>29656018I've seen that quest but I haven't been that interested, is it really that bad?
>>29655989Get a new, quality blade.Jeez. It's not like this one was THAT special. It was just very hard to break.Hopefully we will continue our lessons and stop relying on such a brute swrod-style
>>29656078That also works, though no matter what style we use a blade that can change its shape is incredibly useful.
>>29655985>I'm betting Celestino is going to try to keep it."...so I'm just going to trade trade your present for this one. Don't mind me.">>29655989I know one thing we're going to do.Lay that shit to rest at Volker's grave before we head home."...I'm kind of sad, but even still, I can't help but think you'd be proud of me.Because even after it stood up to everything you put it through... I actually managed to break it."
>>29656062>not shooting heroin in your eyeballs and keep going for 6 more threadsweakpathetic
>>29655855Cheers OP, you a good one.Have some extra sleep and a break though.
>>29656088It belonged to Volker. It was special to us.
>>29656102it took an overpowered sword to finally kill it off for good.
>>29656102oh gawd the feels.Might as well just re-name the quest princess guard feels and be done with it.
So am i the only one that thinks that Monique would give up on his victory because of his swords tampering.
>>29656120By "special" I think he meant from a mechanical standpoint, which is true.Of course it's sentimental value was at maximum, but in terms of a suitable replacement to get us back to full efficiency that isn't really a factor.
>>29656145Nah, he'll try to rules lawyer it.
I've got studying to do but hell i'm sticking around. Riding this one straight down into 404!
>>29656102I'm sad now.
>>29656102I'd rather reforge it and make it better, stronger, and with more crystals than before.And if we do lay it to rest we need to keep some part of it to forge into a necklace or something as a remembrance of it.>>29656145Yes. If he actually gave a single fuck about fairness and rules he wouldn't have used a Sealed King for this fight. He'll try and weasel his way out of this one as well.
>>29656145He probably will. He himself said that the victory felt incomplete.
>>29656145He's either going to completely shrug it off, or he's going to completely flip his shit hardcore.Depends on his mental state when he wakes up I think.
>>29656148he isn't that much of a cunt, from what"Oh, I see... hahaha... hahahahahaha... all of my ribs are broken and you kept me from..."He said here it sounds like he broke.
>>29656086Yes, it totally is. There are like 1 or 2 options that aren't traps and everything else usually ends up getting somebody killed or horribly wounded or something.
>>29656145He'll find a way to blame it on Reinhold. Somehow.
>>29656198Damn, the shit-storms in that quest must be intense.
>>29656201Oh i'm sure he would find a way, but the better question is would he give up the victory.
>>29656201Well, it is Reinhold's fault that all of his ribs are broken. He can totally blame us for breaking all of his ribs with a frozen sword while he was wielding a weapon of unimaginable power.
>>29656120>>29656147We can collect the shards, put them in the display case in the form of a sword. Give it to Agnes. And get a new sword in meanwhile.Yes, it was sentimental but going "bloo bloo bloo it was the only thing I remember my dead almost adoptive father by" and angsting about it to no end will be the wrong way to go and set us on the same path as Monique*. We have Granma now, much better thing to remember Volker by. Also, I'm sure Volker never got attached to his swords so we shouldn't either. After we wake up calmed down a bit, we should realize this and not be spiteful asshole like Monique was.*Actually, if that means going on self-searching journey where we vastly improve our skills and find a Sealed King then yeah, going Monique way might not be that bad.
>>29656220he froze our sword in the first place
Guys, if we ever get the chance to play as Monique via the Setsuranka voices again, we must do ice puns.I'll drive him bonkers.
Rematch when?
>>29656086Well let me tell you this one thing that happened in there. The main character's wife is watching a scary movie, she has a higher power level than him. We decide that it would be funny to sneak up on her and yell "BOO"Can you guess what happens next? She gets so freaked out that she decapitates the main character by accident. There were no rolls involved. So yea, the QM is out to get you at every possible instance. Also, we tried killing this one alien guy and we checked like 3 times that he was dead. Next thread: "HE'S BACK TO LIFE AND A CYBORG NOW! YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE YOUR ENEMIES ARE DEAD AFTER YOU KILL THEM!"
>>29656145No your not, but i'm more worried about the guys asking to be a dick towards Monique and try to kill him the next time we see him.I would prefer not to stoop to his level.
>>29656256tbh they'd probably get a frosty reception from monique.
>>29656262>"HE'S BACK TO LIFE AND A CYBORG NOW! YOU SHOULD MAKE SURE YOUR ENEMIES ARE DEAD AFTER YOU KILL THEM!"But anon...
>>29656262>She gets so freaked out that she decapitates the main character by accident.wait how dod the quest continue after that?
>>29656211Nah, there's only like less than 5 guys posting on that anymore. It used to have shitstorms, but then people just started dropping that shit. I don't contribute to it myself anymore, I mostly just check to see how close to death it is.
>>29656277I don't think we should forgive him, but we shouldn't hold it against him. There are a lot of things he didn't know that probably would have given him pause in his quest to break our sword.
>>29656163>And if we do lay it to rest we need to keep some part of it to forge into a necklace or something as a remembrance of it.I mean, we could just hold on to the hilt as a keepsake and inter the blade.Or if we think there's a chance Niklaus could modify the blade's metal such that the crystal bracelet could absorb it the way it did the metal it was initially made of, we could do that and leave the hilt.Adding an entire sword worth of extra material to the bracelet would go a long way toward the possibility of one day being able to use it as a weapon, and given that the bracelet has basically become a part of our magical signature, I can't help but think Volker's sword would be something it would find easy to merge with.It'd end up more of a lengthy demi-gauntlet than a bracelet at that point, but still.
>>29656313He knew it was a heirloom, he mentioned it himselfThat said, we won't forgive him but won't hold it against him.
>>29656296retcon?
>>29656313Same, i never mentioned forgiving him, but being antagonizing like he was is retarded like the guys in this thread wanted to.Though this does cement his place as our rival though.
>>29656296Dragonballs can resurrect the dead. Also, he just switches the MC to one of the remaining Saiyans. The players quickly understood that the life expectancy of a main character is EXTREMELY short and thus began having as many kids as possible. I think the MC has like 3 wives and 12 kids right now or something, not sure. So they have some extra lives.
>>29656313Exactly. He want from "deluded fool" to "yup, he's an asshole" with this, but we can let it rest at this point. I just hope he does too.
>>29656296He retconned that after the players called him out on his bullshit. He also has a self insert character that's apperently the boss of the guy who runs the gates to afterlife or something.
>>29656347No need to antagonize him, but I don't think Rein and Monique will ever be freindly towards each other after this.
>>29656332"You were telling me yesterday that your sword was so very important to you, and now I bet you think that your moronic strength was the thing that destroyed it? NO!!!!!" Monique shouts. "I BROKE YOUR SWORD, REINHOLD! JUST LIKE YOU DESTROYED THE SWORD THAT MY GREAT-GRANDFATHER ENTRUSTED TO ME AS HE LAY ON HIS DEATHBED, YOU WORTHLESS BASTARD!!!!">GRANDFATHER ENTRUSTED TO ME AS HE LAY ON HIS DEATHBEDAlso i'm sure we just told him the sword was important to us and we felt sorry about it, not that it was an heirloom.
To be honest I want this to trigger some change in Reinhold's sword style. Maybe this duel would've opened his eyes to the importance of magic in a fight, so he might train extra hard with the spells.Magic Knight Reinhold GET.
>>29656313"Of course I'm annoyed you broke my sword Monique, you brought Sealed King to what should have been a contest of skill between two swordsmen because you couldn't work out what was going to happen when you repeatedly blocked a broadsword with a rapier. Now I'll have to go through the trouble of fixing it or getting a new one. I even apologized for what happened.But Volker gave me something much more important than a sword. He gave me a future, he told a piece of street trash like me that I wasn't worthless and I deserved a chance to succeed. And I have far more important things to deal with than seeking revenge against you over a hunk of metal."
>>29656407aren't we already doing that? And this duel would't have taught us the importance of magic, since it isn't allowed. It taught us that spoiled rich people can have sneaky underhanded bullshit so we should just fuck up antagonistic nobles before they can draw a weapon
I want Reinhold to realise how empty Monique's revenge was."He broke my sword, and I guess that's that... Because, really, look at him, look in his eyes. Are those victorious eyes? He knows he hasn't won, not through his petty revenge."Reinhold nudges the hospital bed."Isn't that right, arseface?"
>>29656396No, Monique understood what the sword meant to Reinhold. That is precisely why he wanted to destroy it.
>>29656440Pretty much this. It also taught us that we need a stronger sword.
>>29656433He sees the sword as more than just a hunk of metal though.Change the last line to>And I have far more important things to deal with than perpetuating a cycle of revenge with you based on your paranoia and vindictiveness.Or something.
>>29656433A little sappy, but I kind of like it.
>>29656461We just said it was important. Not WHY it was important.
>>29656469Pretty sure Rein told him.
>>29656262I almost want to read it just to experience the retardedness, but nah.
I hope us an Monique end up recuperating at the same place. It'll give Reinhold a chance to utterly thrash Monique in a game of "who's had a worse life" and then do the cruelest thing he could, forgive him.
>>29656332The fuck we won't. What he did was worse than us breaking his sword simply because we used our own strenght to achieve this and you shouldn't be stupid enough to block a fucking broadsword with a goddamn rapier in the first place. He on the other hand went out of his way to come up with strategy to break our sword and to top it all off he didn't even achieve it with his own strenght. He did it by using a magic sword that is so strong that by all rights it should be banned and he used attacks that by all rights should be illegal to achieve this.Basically, his sword broke in an honorable duel. Our sword fell to underhanded scheming of a vindictive brat who was too stupid to block with a fucking rapier.
>>29656463Or we could just do a volker and carry shit tonnes of swords with us
>>29656505>too stupid to block with a fucking rapier.I think you mean "stupid enough to block with a rapier."
The best part will be the aftermath.Reinhold is going to have some interesting discussions when he wakes up.
>>29656492checking last quest.
We should get a sword enchanted with BOOST.
>>29656505"I broke your sword as revenge for what you did to me!""I fought you in a duel, I used nothing but martial skill and a mundane blade. You broke your own sword by putting it against a heavy broadsword in a contest of durability. Suck it up.Or maybe you're talking about the time I punched you in the face. And let's be honest, you were insulting Nicolette's mother in front of all of us. You totally deserved that one."
>>29656529I'm guessing it will involve a long line of women angry at him for risking his life like that. Marie, Luci, Sylvie, Nico, and maybe even Citrine too.
longest thread I've ever read
>>29656433
>>29656539no, we should get a gauntled enchanted with BOOSTO
>>29656566Let's not forget Agnes.
>>29656460needs more ice puns.
>>29655855Thank you Archelon, sincerelyThe best advice I can give is that you take it easy. Don't get too angry at anon for throwing a shitfit.
>>29656502Just like DBZ it's mighty repetetive. 1. Train2. Meet an enemy that's stronger than you3. Gain a miraculous powerup and win4. Gather the dragonballs and resurrect the guys who died this time.5. Go back to step 1The difference to DBZ is that even if you manage to kill canon villains before they become a threat, the QM either just resurrects them or starts pulling villains that are for some reason stronger than MC regardless of the fact that people with powerlevel of 18 000 are supposed to be rare elite soldiers.
>>29656503This image has never been more relevant.
>>29656585Maybe Meido too?Though she doesn't seem the angry type. More just plain old worried.
>>29656585"Grandma, was Volker as crazy as I am?"
>>296565842175 posts.Is this a record for Quest Threads?
>>29656599It even includes the lesson about blood we learned today!
>>29656602She straight out told us that we're "kinda dense sometimes" for not noticing Sylvie's eagerness.Imagine what she will have to say if she gets the chance to give her opinion.
>>29656609Don't quote me on this, but I think Shadow Quest and maybe like one session of Bleach Quest have gotten that high.Two consecutive 2000+ post threads in one unbroken session may be a first though.
>>29656609Not a record, but it's pretty close.
>>29656529>>29656566When we first see the girls after waking up, we should say something like "Would all the people who want to punch me for being so reckless and stupid please form an orderly queue."
>>29656440i think he meant importance of magic in a real fight, not a duel>>29656505>He on the other hand went out of his way to come up with strategy to break our swordno, he just froze it and left it on the ground, we broke it>>29656566>Lucithere's also the kiss crap to deal with (which i personally found to be a huge negative, and i was liking her before that
>>29656602>They all take turns looking after us as we sleep>We happen to wake up when Melon is there, and she has dozed off in the chair>She wakes up and goes full verbal beatdown on us before her sleepy-mode wears off
Elena and Masaharu are either rabidly arguing right now, or traumatized.
>>29656670>i think he meant importance of magic in a real fight, not a duelbut aren't we already learning magic out of a dueling setting? we've learned a half a dozen spells in a week or two, which is pretty damn good.
>>29656670He admitted that he knew perfectly well what he was doing. He froze it for a reason.
>>29656693Still being outdone by an 8 year old.Also goddamn that was a fun series of threads
>>29656503"My parents gave me a girl's name! Throughout my life people have always called me girly or thought I was a woman.""I never met my parents. I was raised in a shitty brothel full of terrible people. I was beaten on a regular basis by a drunk, and put to work as soon as I could run errands.The only person in my life who treated me kindly before I met Volker was Citrine. After Volker adopted me I spent 1 week with him before he left on his last adventure and never came back, I didn't even know his last name. I slaved away at swordsmanship until my hands bled and eventually ran away to join the military. I was almost always hungry, the only reason I got as much food as I did was because Citrine gave me some of hers no matter what I said.I never knew I had a Grandmother until I came to Marconetti.Your move Monique, tell me what terrible complaints you have about your life. I'm sure you've been through a lot of pain in your life."
>>29656688Still shipping them as teens/adults.
>>29656688interlude
>>29656726"I'm pretty cross that the bigger seagulls get all the breadcrumbs."
>>29656694True, although at best he was relying on us going HAM when we were more or less already beaten.It doesn't change the outcome, but it wouldn't shock me if he claimed ALL ACCORDING TO KEIKAKU after the fact and the breaking was just a happy coincidence for him.
>>29651743Wow, didn't know someone would try masquarading as me for some reason.
>>29656726"YOU BROKE MUH GRANDADDY'S SWORD AND PUNCHED ME IN THE FACE IN FRONT OF THE PRINCESS!!!!"
>>29656726I'm hoping that they really do both of them end up in the same infirmary.I would hate if reinhold gets special treatment and Monique gets treated like shit after the fight.
>>29656756The power of your name saved us.There were like 20 Wrenlofts at one point, and BY GOD it worked.
>>29656761"You blocked a broadsword with a rapier Monique. Not only that but you did it repeatedly. And you're somehow surprised that your sword broke? Do you complain that trees fall down when you chop them with axes?And you were asking to get punched in the face. You were preparing for Nicolette to try and hit you, I simply took it on myself to make sure it was done right."
>>29656761"No, you broke your grandfather's sword by using it to BLOCK A BROADSWORD. And if I hadn't been there, Gregory would have been on the job as the Princess' bodyguard, and you would have been a bloody smear on the wall."
>>29656761"You insulted a friend of the royal family in front of the royal family, that kind of shit normally gets you flogged by the very least." "Also, what kind of fucking retard blocks with a rapier?"
>>29656756Thanks for lending us your name
>>29656779this i would love to guilt tip thee fuck out of him if we are in the same room, but knowing luciana she would find a way to make us stay in her room and have him in the sewers.
>>29656813>>29656836TO BE PERFECTLY FAIR, if its a choice between blocking with a rapier and blocking with your face, you choose the rapier.Of course that just means your opponent was good enough to force you to make that choice, but still.
>>29656670Luci has proven to be the most forward of the girls, I don't know what upsets you so much about that. Besides, everyone thought Monique was a pompous fool, nobody expected him to have THAT.
so how long until the dropbox pdf updates?
>>29656841You know it amuses me to no end that this whole shitstorm happened because he tried blocking with a rapier then being an douche and acting surprised when somebody punches him in the face.
