And yes, I know about her canon insanity-causing clam-head design, but that's just 2scary4me.

>>31161169
Three for Bearbreathe because that seems stupidly useful.

Eight for Whoop because healing for everybody.

Three for Sitri because buffs are nice but too many would be redundant.

Six for Brokagh because we need sneaksters for a raid!

I can't think of anyone really handy at camp. Witch boy seems too busy teaching Allonces to show anyone else magic.

Thanks for noticing. I'm really just using this as an occasion to practice, but it's still nice to know you appreciate what I do.

"Hey, boss," Gneb sidles up to you, "This is a lot of fish guys isn't it? What the heck are we gonna do with all of them?" You turn and look at the loping along. They don't have mounts and you're not sure how the heck you're going to get some to them. Guess you have an actual foot force now? They seem pretty fresh and untrained.

"Let's give some to Bearbreath, Whoop, Sitri, and maybe a couple for Bokagh. Might as well train them up and get more specialists goin'!" You pump a fist. This is how a leader should be! Makin' others do the work and taking the credit for it.

Gneb doesn't seem as excited as you. "Yeah, that's a good, boss, but how the heck are we gonna determine who goes where?" Oh that's a good point.

You're not good at all this logistics stuff. You're not sure how Beyto would do this...

>"I'd give them all a quick attribute assessment and then assign them to the areas they are most suited for personality and talent wise." - Beyto says to you, on the topic of mass new recruits. You nod along politely while single mindedly eating a launch haunch of ham.

You know! You'll divide them up by foot size. "Hey, you fish guys! I'm gonna assign you to your new sub leaders now, so line up! And stick out your foot." They complied with confused looks.

The three six guys with the biggest feet go to Brokagh, because they need big feet for kicking. Brokagh had no argument for that logic. The three with the least barnacle encrusted feet went to Sitri cause you wouldn't want to make her deal with dirty guys, and they had pretty thin flippers. The three with the weirdest shaped feet got sent to Bearbreath cause he is weird, but you didn't say that, you just said they'd 'suit him', and then the rest went to Whoop, because you got tired of sorting them.

A job well done. Now it is time to get back to camp!

You don't wanna drag the fresh recruits back to base camp like this, they are pretty embarassing right now. Virtually untrained with just some kinda depressing spears that are really more like sharp sticks. But, hey, more bodies are always welcome!

Sitri puts together a four man band pretty quickly, with some drums, a bassist, a guitarist, and her as vocals and on pipes. Their initial performances are what you imagine suffering sounds like if it were to take the form of noise. But Sitri is patient with them, and after a few days it only sounds utterly terrible!

Whoop has plenty of progress with his boys, as they were all pretty faithful to the Sea Mother, and now you've got a nice selection of mediocre healers. They don't know any offensive magic yet, though!

Brokagh and Bearbreath haven't gotten anywhere yet, but you see fish dudes doing martial arts practice and it sorta pumped up your spirits and you were tempted to join in, but were too embarassed and passed on it. The ones Bearbreath were with just sort of sit around talking about wussy stuff.

This slow going pace continues for maybe a week before you run into someone else out here. With as big of a party as you have, you're surprised it took this long.

On one side there are a group of large humanoids that look sort of like the Underworld Empire's pit ogres, but redder, slimmer, and with horns that glow. They're spitting fire and using huge clubs as they fight what appears to be a small group of giant tree people. They have pure white bark, and there are only about three of them compared to the ten or so ogres. But they're holding their own. The fire seems to be pretty effective against the treemen, but they are smashing their way through the group of ogres pretty well.

Biiiiiig update, I apologize for the delay. Gonna be a bit longer.

naw man, open up that why do folks keep calling me a sword saint tree

This.

Bite of the snapping turtle is required for Sword Saint.

>>31162970

msif exp and sword saint exp are separate, so it's better and more efficient to get sword saint first, we'll be earning more exp.

>>31163089
That assumes that getting sword saint doesn't lock us out of MSiF. I think it might.

>>31163089
>I think it's just one of the paths we can take to unlock it
What?

You need Nothing my Choppa Cannot Chop and Grouchiness of the Terrapin to unlock Sword Saint. We already have the former and the latter needs Bite of the Snapping Turtle.

What alternate path?

>>31163135
Chief already said it didn't.

>>31163135
No it doesn't.

>>31163089
There are two prerequisites for it. We have one of them and we need snapping turtle for the other (grouchiness).

You're chewing on some food as you watch the fight, because it is pretty cool. The tree guys have, like, three or five arms and are smashing dudes into the ground and slapping others away, but the ogres keep shooting out blasts of fire.

"Hey, Shax, I don't really like this," Sitri says, her four man band in tow. The bassist is wearing some kind of floppy hat. You heard the guitarist is looking for some shades, but you really don't think there are any glasses that will fit a kuo-toa face...

"Oh? Why not? It's a neat looking fight. Don't get to see five armed dudes smashin' big red guys who shoot fire every day." You point at a particularly neat bodyslam, twist, elbow drop thing a tree man did. Radical!

"Yeah, you have a fair point, but it doesn't seem particularly fair. Fire? Against tree people? C'mon. I feel bad for the rootkin." You don't. You just saw one twist an ogre's head off with one arm while holding two ogres against the ground. But then one of the guys goes up in flame, and you begin to see her point.

"Alright, alright. Let's save 'em boys!" You wave your sword forward as you start your charge. Before too long, you're crashing into the thick of the ogres. The rootkin seem surprised at your appearance, but spare no time to talk as you both make quick work of the now pincer'd oni. It doesn't take long for you to finish them all off.

When all is said and done, there are two tree guys left after the one got turned into kindling. "Heya, I'm Shax Bonemurder! How are you doing today, uhh," You address the satyxis from the side of your mouth, "What'd you call them again, Sitri?"

"Rootkin. Typically from some of the deeper, more ancient forests. These look like Pearlbark Rootkin, known for their ceaseless defense of their home woods and beautiful appearance. What they're doing out here, I dunno." Maybe being a wandering bard teaches you a ton of stuff, but she always seems to know things.

"Okay! Mr. Pearback, it is nice to meet you!" You are met with a horrifying shriek and what sounds like the snapping of wood. Oh good lord

Bearbreath clears his throat. "Let me, ah, interpret. He says 'thank you for assisting us horrible fire bringer chaos minion,' which is less of an insult than it sounds."

That was an insult? "I've been called worse. Anyway, what are you up to? Can I help?"

Via your druid friend, the white tree responds, "We are fleeing the destruction of our forest caused by these foolish expansionist large dwarf fat elves who cut us to pieces for our homes. We are stranded without protection and have no where to spread our roots. Will you provide us this shelter?"

You are part of an expansionist army that is currently burning down a forest, buuuuuut, whatever! More friends! "Sure, Mr. Pearbark! Welcome aboard!"

Great! Two more bruisers for the raid! They might even know some magic! Bearbreath is unclear about that, saying something about 'spell-like abilities'. Sounds like magic to you.

But seriously, you've been on the road forever. It is time to go to camp! You march double time to get there. Along the way Sitri talks about how excited she is to see a genuine military camp! You think she might be getting her hopes up too high. Your place was nowhere near as organized as the... main force? Whoa! There is the black dragon's banner planted outside your ruins as you approach. Isn't that a little flashy? Kinda ruins the whole point, doesn't it?

The camp is practically unrecognizable as well, with the formerly slapdash tents arrayed neatly, and the ruins being repaired in several places.

"Sis has really outdone herself this time," Dorle mutters.

"Just be glad she wasn't strong arming us into cleaning the place up," Mani grumbles.

The sound of someone clearing their throat can be heard from the side, "I'm glad you two hold my abilities of organization in such HIGH esteem, but it wasn't my doing this time." Milda cuffs them both in the head, "Nice to see you back safe and sound Shax, I would have been worried except the Ambassador assured us you were alive." Well that's a pretty scary statement. "I see you've made a lot of new friends." Milda then introduces herself to each individual new recruit. What dedication!

There are a ton of kobolds in the camp now, scurrying all over the place. They all seem to be holding some sort of maintenance implement, and are doing various tasks everywhere. They make your troops look downright lazy. You walk into the main chambers and are greeted with a thoroughly majestic woman. A dark elf with incredibly long white hair, unblemished skin, and wearing little more than a comfy looking pink sweater. She has two large black wings on her back.

"Hello, Shax, my name is Zenme, Dark Dragon Disciple, and Ambassador to her Malevolence, the Breath of Night, Terror of the Depths, and Scourge of Light, Nevith the Grumpy." You suppress a snicker with all your willpower. The grumpy? The dark elven woman gives you a brilliant smile of pearly white teeth. She has light pink framed glasses that she pushes up that frame her violet eyes. "I don't need to be a mindreader to know what you're thinking. It is a title she deserves, I assure you."

Chief, it was a question that came up after last thread or the one before.

When we unlock the Sword Saint tree, would it's abilities use MSiF exp? Would it be separate and develop in a different way like Five More Minutes does?

You stare at her thighs. Those are some big thighs. You look over at the boys. They are all also staring at her thighs and also other parts of her body. That low neck sweater shows her collarbones, for goodness sake. You walk up to her and whisper loudly, "Hey, could you maybe, I dunno, put on a little more clothing? I don't know how little you need to wear for those totally sweet wings to poke out, but Allonces is bad enough, and I don't want the boys to be all wide eyed all the time. Makes it hard to lead, you know?" You glance around conspiratorily before heading back to the boys. The ambassador's expression is unreadble, but definitely amused.

You clear your throat. This is no time to wimp out. It's your day to shine. You gotta make a good impression! "Hey! I'm Shanx!" The boys all turn to look at you. Your face turns bright red. Not good. Let's just pretend nothing happened. Gotta land on your feet, Shax! Keep things moving! "Um, uh. Raid! Leader! Right! And I the mortal blade of the Sea Mother! Winner of fire lelemental's trial that toasted Allonces. A demilich's silver trophy! I have a big sword and people call me The Boss!" You mutter under your breath, "Which is a better title than the grumpy, anyway." You can't tell if she is laughing at you, so you decide to laugh with her. That way you know for sure you're laughing with her.

"A pleasure to meet you, I'm sure. We have things we need to discuss. Do you have and adjutants and assistants? They'll want to be here for the war council. The Manderlin Campaign is about to begin, and Nevith has plans for you." You don't like the sound of that. You were hoping your job was done, actually.

>Who would you say is your council? Name up to three people to be on it!

You know sometimes I get the impression Shax has a thing for female dark elves.

That was classic spaghetti.

most factions like of the army are just part of the invasion, not really overly to one of them in particular.

Not to say they don't each have their followers.

Damn, that took way longer than I expected it to.

I still have the actual tree an a separate layer, so modifying it shouldn't be too much of a problem as long as you stick to the current layout.

CyRCTHaM not CyECTHaM

>>31163987

either one works "Really" opposed to "Even"

>>31163975
Allonces is one of my favorite characters but she's pretty incompetent.

And not in the good way, like Shax, where it all works out in the end.

>>31164038
Yeah it makes her so adorable though!

>>31164038
Agreed. We need to find Allonces an oversized weapon of her own.

>>31163906
The bottom of MSiF gets a little hard for me to read, but I flat out love the other two trees. Over all good work.

>>31164068
Oversized teapot? Oversized mixing spoon?

>>31164038
Allonces is one of my least favorite characters.

She's comedic relief at best.

>>31164126
Point taken. I'll see whether I can fix that until next thread.

>>31163915
It's not the size of the sword in your hand that matters

It's the size of the sword in your heart

>>31164068
Nah

>>31164165
This isn't oversized heart quest.

>>31164068
Oversized bow.

She'll try to draw it and fire herself into the horizon like Wile E Coyote

>>31164176
That sound horrifying.

Make this Allonces motto/catchphrase

Then give her a tiny ass dagger

True, that would determine how many seconds it'd take for the bloodless to kill you.

I like that idea.

>>31164176
Oversized Heart Quest
You play as a naiive loli that acts big and cutes people up. You have fun adventures roaming the Children's Hospital with you're motley crew of sick, fun-loving kids.

The QM rolls hidden dice when you have too much fun.

In short Allonces nust realise her destiny and becime a magical girl mahou shojo

You put your hand on your chin and start thinking. Who in your army is smart and responsible? Not you, and also not most of them. Wow. Maybe you get why you're the boss now. Well, there is Milda, though she is a stick in the mud. Whoop is a given, though he is a creepy fish man. Who else? Allonces? You immediately discard that idea. Maybe she should show up to a 'let's flaunt our good looks council' with Zenma, but she has no place on a war council. Sitri? You hardly know her, and while she seems like a decent enough warrior, she probably cares more about her personal quest than making strategic decisions. That leaves Bearbreath? He probably doesn't want to fool with all this, but he seems level headed and reliable enough. Fine! The old gnoll can join on up!

You make sure that they get in place, and the rest of the boys are shooed out of the main fort as you sit down at a giant wooden table that was definitely not here when last you were at your base. "So these are who you pick? Intersting. None of them represent a major contributor to campaign, you know?"

You cross your arms, "They represent me and I'm part of the campaign, right? So they can stay."

The glasses girl gives a throaty laugh, "Ufufu, of course. The main issue here is how to proceed in the invasion of the capital of Manderlay. From your efforts and reports, it seems a kingdom beset on all sides. Your raiding work has spread out their army, and they'll continue looking for your small band. Now, in the Matriarch's opinion, is the best time to strike with a genuinely large force. Before they consolidate their defenses."

>>31164304
Hnnnnnnngggg

You keep quiet. Beyto said that the best way to seem smart in a conversation like this is to just make a mean face and stay silent while smart people talked. You give your best glower. The glasses lady continues, "My master and I disagree. We have a larger view of things. And in it is where you come in. You've displayed a competence at commanding that frankly beggars belief. However, you're unrefined at best. My master sees much potential in you, which is why she comes with this offer: Leave the front lines and the raiding to your minions. See how they handle and develop without you for a bit." What! She wants you to stop being the boss? "My master wants to train you, enhance your abilities. She wants to send you on a quest to the Graveland Continent of Yselath. There you can find what she says is your destiny."

Uh, that place doesn't sound friendly at all, "Whattabout the campaign? Isn't it more important for me to be here with my group and smash up the adventurers? I haven't even taken out that many of them, and they're sure to defend the capital."

"And that is precisely why you need to train. Your troops, while admirable, don't have the potential you do. You can rise above the cattle and become a true force to be reckoned with. Don't you understand? It isn't just about the Plains of Manderlay. It is about what lies beyond. About who can hold the reins of an empire." Nope you don't understand that one bit.

What do you do?

>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon.
>Deny. You are a raider, and you're gonna raid. You'll need to try and find a political ally real quick, though...

>>31164304
>>31164317
please go back to the qtg

>>31164359
>>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon.

>>31164359
sigh

We should have picked the elementals.

agree

>>31164359
>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon.

>>31164359
Agreeing is really the only option that makes sense, considering we specifically asked for this event to occur.

>>31164359
>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon.
Sounds like a neat quest.

And getting away from the raid group might lead to some character development for Shax.

>>31164359
>Agree. Milda, don't screw this up!

>>31164359
>Deny. You are a raider, and you're gonna raid. You'll need to try and find a political ally real quick, though...
We gotta stick to our boys! Raise our own army to rival that of the Underworld.

>>31164359
>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon.

>>31164359
>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon.
Fuck, we can't even bring many of the cool minions since we need people to keep control of the raid while we're gone.

>>31164359
>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon.

>>31164359
>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon.

>Deny. You are a raider, and you're gonna raid. You'll need to try and find a political ally real quick, though...

>>31164359
>Ask how long this will take. You can't leave the raid alone for too long after all.

>>31164455
And we'll have to take Allonces since she will surely get killed if we don't take care of her.

>>31164437
I hope so, i'm getting tired of this too stupid mentality.

We gotta try to be less dumb and gobliny.

>>31164501
Agreed.

>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon

>>31164455
>>31164507
I think we're going completely solo.

>>31164507
No matter what happens that little shit is staying here to either get competent or die.

She is not coming with us.

>>31164359
>Deny
We are not leaving our minions.

>>31164507
Allonces have class with the glass guy.

>>31164501

Alright! Writing.

>>31164359
>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon.

Allonces comes or at the very least gives us a training plan so she'll finally git gud.

>>31164359
>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon.
But only if we still get to be The Boss when we get back!

>>31164548
Sadly you don't have a veto power, anon.

That said, I think >>31164534 might be right. And Whoop (guarding) and Sitri (inspiration from the amazing quest) probably want to come before Allonces anyway.

>>31164534

Even if we aren't allowed to take anyone with us, we can still insist and roll diplomacy dice for hilarious results!

>>31164359
>About who can hold the reins of an empire."
Why the hell would we want that? We got lizards. We even got tree minions to ride on now.

>>31164564
She can do that while staying here

>>31164359
>Agree to her offer. You don't know if you want to make an enemy of a dragon.

TRAINING MONTAGE

Whoop, Milda and Bearbreath can take temporary command. I trust them to make sure people stay alive as much as possible.

>>31164518
I agree, but at the same time I feel that Shax's obliviousness is the only thing holding the current direction of the quest together.

She's a nice girl and if she was less dumb and gobliny she'd start questioning why she's on the bad guy's side. As it is she's mostly here because being evil raiders is just what a goblin is to her.

>>31164518
On the contrary, I find it endearing

Goblin logic is hilarious

>>31164583
Whoop, Sitri, Bearbreath, Squidface, the trolls, the gnoll hunter, the goblins, the elemental dude, rootkin, and the mounts are all before allonces.

>>31164518
No we dont

>>31164631
Nah.

Milda definitely has to stay at least. Sadly.

>>31164601
Or because it's fun and Shax enjoys it.

>>31164622
We can be endearingly goblin while still not being stupid. It's a balance and right now we're a little too far on the lolrandumb side.

>>31164664
Notice how Milda was not on the list.

>>31164664
He didn't say take them all anon. He said any of them would take precedense over Allonces.

>>31164679
>a little too far on the lolrandumb side.
Did you not read the title of this thread, or any of the 21 preceding it?

>>31164643
Then this quest shall go the way of HQR and descend even further and further into anons being stupid for the sake of being stupid.

>>31164698
Yeah, that was just a general comment, not towards your list.

My priorities are probably along the lines of Sitri > Whoop > Allonces > Bearbreath, Milda definitely stays. Whoop would be equal with Sitri except there's actually a reason to leave him since he'd have some commanding presence and could lead the fish-men, while Sitri doesn't really DO anything leadership-related at the moment and wouldn't be missed.

>>31164184
Good idea.

>>31164715
Yeah, I know. Allonces takes precedence over all but three or four people though.

>>31164750
I think alone comes before all of that.

We can have a "If i really wanna be the Boss i gotta stronger and better in every way"

Other people would just distract from that.

>>31164748
Great just what i want. Now stop proving me opinionthat i don't care about.
I like something you dont. If it comes to it vote for options you think best otherwise stop trying to bend things to what you think is how they should be.

>>31164773
Solo takes precedence of everything.

>>31164782
Going alone sounds boring as fuck though.

>>31164748
This quest has been very logical and discussions civil, and that's half the fun for the OP because he gets to translate that into Shax's distorted thinking.

>>31164773
Not really. Literally everyone on that list takes precedence over her and thats like a dozen people.

>>31164804
I am allowed to argue for my opinion all i want. That is the nature of quests.

This is a bit dangerous, you look at your council and Milda speaks first, "You should... go. You've made too much of an impression to escape political notice. An ally like a dragon might just be what you need at the higher ranks of this campaign."

Whoop stares at you, "What muddied waters you travel in, the Sea Mother does not know. The course is yours alone to decide, Honored One."

Bearbreath yawns, "See, this is why I don't like hanging out with people. One minute it is all head pats, next minute you're drug into a powerstruggle between an ancient Drow Matriarch and a powerful Black Dragon and her sorcerous minions. Best accept her offer, girl, you don't want to be on a tyrant's bad side."

Doesn't look like you have much of a choice. You hate being put in a position like this!

"Fine, but how long is it going to take? I can't leave the raid alone for too long or the whole thing will fall apart without me." You cross your arms.

The dark elf woman flashes her brilliant smile again, "Excellent. It should only take a month or two at the most. It is just a simple quest. I got here a few days after you left on the last expedition and you spent almost that long just, as far as I can tell, wandering about on the plains. Finding tree people and fishmen, apparently. Which ties into the thing-" She talks about destiny potential and stuff like that for, according to your watch, six minutes that feel like eternity. She claps her hands and says, "Now, what shall you pack! I'll be sure to manage the camp while you're away so don't you worry about one thing."

You sorta want someone to keep an eye on this conniving vixen. She thinks that just because she has a nice body she can order everyone around. This is why you don't like women like this! But you can bring along five other people.

Who do you want?

>>31164830
In the past few threads the anons have progressively gotten less logical and more "shoe sizes!"

>>31164836
Not really. Only a couple people on that list takes precedence over her, out of like a dozen people.

>>31164861
Then vote for options that are not shoe sizes and stop crying because "anons dont pick what i like"

>>31164854
>But you can bring along five other people.
No one.

>>31164861
That's because it doesn't fucking matter how we organize a bunch of rookie fishmen.

>>31164861

I've tried to reduce the lolsorandum to irrelevance. I thought shoe sizes was silly. But some anons wanted it, so I put it in, but in such a way that it didn't matter at all. They probably got a laugh, and it didn't dramatically change the story. Everyone wins!

>>31164885
I did, and i am taking precautionary measures to make sure we son't continue down that road.

>>31164854
Whoop, Sitri, Allonces, Alfonse (muscle, gets along with Allonces), Fetidclaw (fills some lacking niches, plus I bet anons forgot about him).

>>31164854
Brokagh, Sitri, Allonces, Bearbreath, and Gneb.

Milda and Whoop should stay behind to lead while we're gone.

>>31164925
seconding

>>31164889
Second.

>>31164854
Whoop and Milda stay, definitely.

>>31164854
Ah, hmm.

Milda, Bearbreath and Whoop are staying because they need to stick around and command the group.

Maybe we should stick to our roots and just take goblins?

>>31164854
Someone sneaky, someone smashy, someone smartish but not one of our councilors, someone fast, and someone useless.

>>31164854
We should leave everyone important to lead in our absence. So just take a few random schmucks

>>31164854
Sitri, Brokagh, Fetidclaw, Allonces, and Bearbreath.

>>31164925
We should take at least one fish guy. Healing spells are really useful.

>>31164854
Whoever gets chosen, Milda stays. Too much leadership, both in general and for her brothers, to remove from the raid.

Beyond that, try to make a balanced party and not just pick the 5 most popular characters please.

>>31164912
>>31164896
It was just an example

>>31164854
Awww, i was hoping for a solo mission.

Can we choose no one? i cote solo

>>31164854
Sitri, Brokagh, Fetidclaw, Allonces, and a healer that isn't Whoop

>>31164925
This is good.

Bring bearbreath, sitri, the stroyteller goblin (whatshisname), a fishman(not whoop) and a tanky fella (troll/golem/orc/rootkin)

>>31164976
>>31164889
Seconding solo.

Don't want the mooks edging in on our EXP

>>31164965
Bearbreath has healing.

>>31164861
nofunallowed.png

Whenever a decision matters, we DO try to make choices that both make sense and seem interesting, but being 100% serious all the time is just missing the entire point of telling a story. Who cares if we 'win' in the end, when everything in between beginning and conclusion is mere bland efficiency?

>>31164854
Whoop, tree minions(2), 1 troll.

>>31164960
This

>>31164854
Whoop for healing and guidance. He can help us gaining Tidal Points too.

Sitri because she's well traveled and a big help in combat.

Bearbreath because he's versitile and valuable.

Brokagh because a sneak/brawler will be handy for rounding out the team and supporting us.

Fetidclaw so we don't get lost and for ranged support.

>>31164925
Yeah, this works.

Now we're a real adventuring party! Wait, that's bad

>>31165032
You exaggerating my side of the argument

>>31164960
>>31165001
Either of these work.

>>31165045
Think about this for a second. We need Whoop to take care of the fishguys we jsust recruited while we're gone.

>"NO! I must kill the adventurers" Shax shouted
>The radio said “No, Shax. You are the adventurers”
>And then Shax was a hero.

Alright, writing. Gotta parse this data and assemble a party from that.

>>31164976

I figured as much. Was just letting you know that I'm playing things mostly for laughs, but if things get too wacky I do have a limit.

Also, I'm fine with solo, but I don't know if it is the popular choice.

Regardless, writing!

Holy fuck you are obnoxious. Just vote for whatever you like, you don't need to completely try and push you shit. Do you see anyone telling we should do lolrandumb stuff when it is not relevant to any vote? No. Stop pushing what you think is right when it is not relevant. Use your voting right to vote for actions you think is right when it is voting time.

If we bring noone....we dont get bein da boss exp

>>31165200
But Bein da Boss is the best tree.

>>31165137
was he the one who can bring other back to life but in different form?
We should take him with us, if we die, he can resurrect us. Sure, we'd be something else but our starting position is a goblin so we can only go upwards from there

It's a shame we weren't able to reach Dark QUEEN yet. Seems like that'd go a long way toward making sure our group stays in tight shape and not swayed by stupid sexy dragon elf ladies while we're gone.

>>31165277
On the reincarnation ladder, I think goblin is the lowest.

Alright! The adventurer party is Sitri, Allonces, Brokagh, Fetidclaw, and Bearbreath! You're getting a lot of milage outta that druid. I feel bad for him sometimes. He just wanted a quiet life, you know?

You and the chosen party suit up and get ready to go on a quest to the Graveland of Yselath!

>>31165356
>Like a Stray Cat

>>31165147
Not him, but he's just trying to make a point. Quests, or really any collective thing, changes in tone over time. Typically it goes to the side of less serious, which don't get me wrong, can be fine.

If it goes unchecked, however, you lose what made the story or topic appealing in the first place and the community becomes insular and cancerous like those generals on /vg/. People come for the people, essentially.

It's a good thing that somebody speaks up to put it in perspective. It doesn't matter whether he's right or wrong. There's no good way to go about it, though. No matter what, the guy that speaks up will look like a jerk to others.

Go easy on him, he's just expressing concern.
That's what I think, at least.

AVAILABLE SKILLS:

Bite of the Snapping Turtle - From the Wary Tortoise stance, you can change your defensive spin into a deadly poke! For some reason it hits really hard, but you're not sure why.

Tokka Form! - While in the Wary Tortoise Stance, you can lash out with one arm. You won't be able to make a precise strike, but you might be able to land some blows in a crowded environment!

Improved Improvised Dual Wield - Sometimes when you're hackin' and whackin' you find yourself outgunned. In those situations, it is handy to pick something up and get twice the smackin' for your trouble! You're really good at incorporating every day blunt objects in your attack patterns now.

Rahzar's Wild Ride - Never stop moving! With Rahzar's Wild Ride, you will be able to move in a controlled manner while attacking everything around you! No more shaking about uncontrollably. On top of this, you have heightened defensive reflexes! The downside is you get really exhausted doing this, and you can't do it for very long.

Struggle of the Sea Turtle - Sea Turtle babies fight for their lives the moment they are born! The trials of these adorable reptiles are something you can sympathize with. You get a large increase in general toughness!
