Motherfucking altars must be seen.

The quest for more power is too stronk of a temptation. Very well! Let's get to it.

We're probably going to get the sword saint tree next level up but I just thought I'd point out we've got enough skills to purchase the super move now.

Looking back at the smoking mess of Utalaga, you can't help but wonder what the heck was up with this place? Weird zombie masses, chained up blood monsters, gold and illusions everywhere? Well, whatever. It ain't your country, no matter how crazy it is. Time to move on.

"Hey Fetid, it's time to move to the next altar! Where'd you say the closest one was, anyway?" It's best to leave the raging fires and questions behind you.

The orc woman has a map in one hand and a doll boy over her shoulder in the other. "If that lizard guy's map is to be trusted, and there is no reason it shouldn't be as far as I can tell, it's probably about two or three days in this direction." That's not so bad.

"Is this country super small or somethin'?" It is pretty weird that you're able to get around so quick over here.

Brokagh shrugs and answer for Fetid, "I think this is just a smaller country. They exist. If they had a bunch of those zombie hulks in their military, I can see why. Necromancy appears to be the name of the game in conflicts over here." What a bunch of weirdos.

It's slow going for several hours, and the sun starts setting. You'd think the stars would be harder to see from all the smoke, but they shine clearly in the night sky.

Suddenly, a loud crash is heard. Charging towards your party are three humongous grey humanoids, clad in loinclothes, sashes glittering with golden coins, and each with a golden mask bearing the likeness of a different animal. The monster with the leopard mask holds in his hands a shotel, the cobra mask holds a three tailed whip, the ends of which hold wicked looking barbs, and the final hulking creature has the mask of a hound, and holds in its hands a savage crescent bladed axe.

Standing behind them is a young woman with a feathered headdress, and in her hands a massive bronze hexagonal club, whose panels are studded with gold. "Heretics! In the name of the Blood Queen Venica, I demand your lives and the surrender of the god vessel!"

>There are two stars of calamity! Among the three stars that control fate, the star of destiny shines brightest! When two Oversized Weapon Users meet, these stars will glow with a fiercesome might!

It happened when we fought Axe Girl too.

Basically, after this fight and we'll get a chance to decide what the next stage of the plot will be like how we chose being dragon lady's champion.

Probably. That doesn't answer the question of what it is.

>>31849121

>>31849131
A vessel for a god. Sounds pretty straightforward to me.

Probably trying to put blood guy's soul in it so they could have a puppet god to control or something.

Is the jungle flammable? Fire is usually to our advantage.

>>31849202
To a degree, but we're really good at cutting through things, and she has a blunt weapon.

I think it'll be worse for her than us.

Ah

Those are called Tetsubo

"Bearbreath!" You shout, as the three oversized humans rush at you. The most valuable minion seems to know what you're thinking, and starts chanting as your party disperses to avoid the giants. Moments later, vines lance out in all directions in an attempt to bind them.

The headdress girl slams the tip of her club into the ground, and from it cracks shoot out, releasing scrabbling clawed hands that grasp at the feet of you and your companions, tripping you up. She lifts up a tanned hand, and the war paint on her face glows a bright red. Three red hooks shoot out into the backs of her servants. Their muscles bulge grotesquely, and they snap out of the vines. Oh, crap. she's trouble. Time to deal with her!

You dash towards the girl with feathers in her hair, smashing various trees and exposed roots out of the way. "Allonces! Try to tie them up!" The sound of someone crying out in pain is heard behind you.

"What?! All of them?" Despite her protests, you hear the distinctly ghostly noise of chains clanking about as you close the distance to the club-wielding girl, as your minions fight it out behind you.

A red mist spreads out from beneath her, and your lungs start to burn. She's tricky!

What's the plan boss?

She has literally just appeared, why do you instantly feel this way?

Why spend the Character Point when we have other, more expendable resources to use? It's not as if we'll die to one crit fail anyways.

>>31849765
Best show of the season.

Which just shows how shit this season is.

>>31849667
So we're spending the point to get rid of the crit right?

>>31849786

It can't be used for that.

There isn't a clear consensus on recruiting her, so I'm just writing as if it was a crit fail.

You guys aren't dead! Don't panic.

>>31849769
Because an insane blood cultist that was probably in cahoots with that vampire god we murdered does not sound like a decent ally or person at all.

I'm actually pretty curious about that.

People brought up binding the giants with Allonces and Bearbreath, and then using the breath control to counteract whatever this chick was doing and those seem like pretty smart ideas. But apparently not Boss point smart?

>>31849798

>>31849742
>1d1
Nice try.

>>31849847
We're killing her then getting those altars then leaving.

You take a half step back out of the mist, and take a deep breath. You can breathe underwater! This won't be a big deal. You ready your weapon, and start a spinning charge. At the very least this should disperse the mist! Something grabs your ankle and you go sprawling to the ground, landing roughly on the ground. It's more of those lame hands! With a growl, you take out your holy sword and cut them up, as they try to hold you to the ground.

As you start to go up, a sharp pain enters your back and you hear a loud cracking sound. With a groan you roll over, feeling weird bumps on your back. They're like... silty barnacles? You wonder how much of the blow they absorbed.

>You're down two Tidal Points!

You hop back up on your feet. And ready your weapon just in time to catch another savage blow with a clang. Your breath hisses in between your teeth before you realize you're still in that dumb red mist. Choking back a cough, you try to get your bearings. The girl is back on, taking a wild overhead swing. You gotta take her out, and fast! But how are you going to regain your momentum? You can barely defended against her magic and clubbing.

Something moves in the corner of your eye. It's the giant with the axe! You narrowly avoid his attack as well. Oh, great. It's two on one. What the heck are your allies doing?

What's the plan here?

>>31849841

They are good ideas! I'll give you a point... now.

Anyway, what do you guys wanna do?

>>31849847
Why should we care about this country?

>>31849889
use the absolute turtle defense and transition into bite of the snapping turtle

>>31849889
Summon turtles to counteract the numbers disadvantage.

>>31849900
Because big secret cults usually have big secret treasure troves

>>31849926
summon turtles on the enemy side? That doesn't sound very pragmatic....

>>31849889
Get in turtle stance. We have Grouchiness so we auto counter. Then summon the turtles to turn things around.

>>31849929
We can't carry a whole lot of loot with us.

>>31849889
Let's get close to the club bitch, try to force her to block our big sword directly with her club so we can shank her with our other hand. Also maneuver so she's between us and the giant, between that and being close to its master it should be hard for it to attack us.

>>31849920
>>31849926
>>31849955
Supporting these. I want to end this fight before we take casualties. Turtles never let us down before.

>>31849889
>Summon turtles
>Back the fuck off

>>31849889
Summon the turtles

>>31849953
What?

We're two against one right now. The giant and the blood cultist. If we summon the turtles we're no longer outnumbered.

>>31849955
Let's go with this.

>>31849980
yeah but we're in the middle of them and I don't think it's an instant summon

>>31849961
>Secret cult has brainwashing magic
>Become new cult leader
>Use zombies to carry loot for us

>>31850018
Hence getting in turtle stance to do it.

>>31849889
Once again, jump up and out of the mist, take a deep breath, and then spin downwards. Try to take out of the giant first. We should be at about head height at the apex of the jump. Decapitate him and then bat the head towards the chick with the flat side of the blade, before following up with a regular leaping swing.

>>31850032
You're not very convincing, anon.

I don't want to be in this continent for much longer anyway,

We got what we came for. Let's just get these two altars and leave.

>>31850037

Use em like a peasant serving girl chief.

You're going to need back up. And you know just where to get it. You bring your oversized sword down in front of you like a shield, and reach into a pouch for an astral pearl with your free hand. You think about those cute turtles as you start to spin, until the pearl glows. You toss the pearl upward, and it leaves a glimmering trail of dust as it arcs into the air. An axe blow comes sweeping in at your legs, and you knock the blade into the ground, coming back around on the swing to cut an arm off the grey giant.

Roaring, it rears back, pulling the axe out of the ground with some effort. Bursting from the ground, a large tutle takes a rough bite into the side of the giant, and then bowls him over. Another turtle comes out of the ground near where he lands, and bites the head of the giant clean off. Gross.

Two more shelled defenders pop out of the ground on either side of you. Oh good, they are pretty fast at showing up, huh? The club girl clicks her tongue and backs up, holding one hand out and sending two red whips to the side again. Moments later, the grey giants are drug through the air to her. She's called her buddies back! Still, five versus three, with your minions on the way? You like these odds. The two giants flanking the feathered girl get into defensive positions.

>>31850619
What if you expose them to "28 days later" treatment?

>>31850751
What's that?

Oh man. It is like a dream come true. You've always wanted to do this. You scramble on to a turtle's head and quickly crawl onto its back. You barely manage to keep yourself from collapsing into a giggling heep, settling instead to just titter maniacally as you position yourself on top of the turtle shell. You level your sword at the girl with the club, and shout, "Chaaaaaaarge!" At the top of your lungs.

The lumbering turtles start moving forward, a little slow but still pretty quick, at the giant guards and their headdress girl. The turtle you're riding is behind a spear head of three other turtles, and the giants attempt a counter charge, lest they just be overrun. Two turtles dogpile one giant, bearing it to the ground and ripping it to shreads. The other turtle and the whip giant struggle with each other, but you keep the charge straight at the club girl.

The scrabbling claws on the ground do little to impede the charge, and your crystalline mount cares little for her choking fumes. She seems to realize her typical defenses are no good, readies her club and does a jumping swing at your mount, landing a solid blow on its head and sending a lattice of cracks through it.

wow! what a jerk. Your turtle snaps back, grabbing her club in its mouth with a lightning fast motion. That's what she gets. She struggles with it for a moment, before you leap off your loyal turtle mount's back, landing with a wide swing at the girl's legs.

She lets go of her club, and dances back to avoid you. She's unarmed now, though. Shouldn't be too much trouble! You circle each other for a bit, her backing up when you advance, when Brokagh sneaks up behind her and chops her right in the neck, felling the girl. Well. That works.

We've already got axe-girl. And she's a much more fun Oversized Weapon rival.

>>31850806
>Finish her off. She ain't worth the trouble.

I dunno, she seems like bad news, but she is another oversized weapon user.

Probably for the best, though. THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!

This entire continent is too much trouble. I can't wait to be the god of it and then leave.

>>31850806
We can't go killing off our rivals willy-nilly!
>>Take her prisoner! You don't know how you'll keep her bound, though.
How long can Allonces maintain those chains? Or maybe Bearbreath can summon some vines?

>>31850888
Nah, it was the one drow lady and that only applied to the raiding.

Not that it matters here. What do we need to take her prisoner for? We're leaving as soon as we hit up these altars.

>>31850806
>Finish her off. She ain't worth the trouble.

>>31850806
We don't take prisoners.

Kill her.

>>Take her prisoner! You don't know how you'll keep her bound, though.

We are surrounded by magic on all sides - can we force an oath or something?

we did it to fish guy

>>31850806
>Finish her off. She ain't worth the trouble.

Are you prepared for the consequences of killing another oversized weapon user?

Writing!

>>31850806
>>Finish her off. She ain't worth the trouble

>>31850925
Self delusion doesn't actually make someone a rival. Fish guy was a scrub, he wasn't a destined rival at all.

>>31850929
Will our weapon eat her weapon???

>>31850929
Dual weilding?

>>31850946
no, he was a destined rival
he got the two stars intro and the giant anchor and everything

>>31850946
I couldn't have said it better.

>>31850976
No he didn't. The two stars thing happened but then it stopped and said an anchor didn't count as a weapon.

>>31850976
And he was a scrub, just like this chick

>>31850957
Have we tried taking someone else's OSW?
Will magic bullshit prevent us from using it?

>>31851010
We should try it.

It's almost the same as our weapon too

We use our sword just like a tetsubo

>>31850806
>Take her prisoner! You don't know how you'll keep her bound, though.
Wait wait wait, why are so many people wanting to kill her?

>>31851010
Doesn't axe girl use hers because of her blood? I bet we're the only chumps forced to rely on a magical item to use ours.

>>31851005
I think this chick counts, due to the fact she has a real weapon and is the champion of the Queen of Blood.

>>31851047
So?

Why shouldn't we kill her?

>>31851041
She made a bad first impession. Also she's from the worst country. Also also she hurt one of our turtles and maybe our friends too.

>>31851041
Because there's no fucking point to keeping her prisoner.

We don't want to be involved with this continents bullshit anymore. We want to get these two altars and then give dragon lady or shota sex doll.

>>31851001
seriously? Quibbling over that in a comedy quest?

>>31851065
That shota sex doll is going straight to Mr. Witch. He'll turn it into a real girl.

>>31851069
I don't consider this a comedy quest.

>>31851069
We didn't get a destiny point from it. I assume that means it doesn't count.

>>31851083
You don't think it's funny? Well that's fine, have fun in your own way.

>>31851058
I didn't say anything about not killing her.

>>31851080
Let's not piss off the scary dragon lady.

Plus she might give us minidragon mounts

>>31851069
A better reason to not quibble is because it's been made pretty clear that at least 70% of the story is made up on the spot.

>>31851080
But anon, we don't know if Dragon Lady is bi. That could break everything if he turns it into a real girl instead of a real boy. Do you want to piss off our benefactor?

>>31851083
You are probably the single person who doesn't.

>>31851083
>>31851098
It's an action/adventure quest with large amounts of comedy ingrained

>>31851107
That sounds cool. You know what would be cooler? Shax for Dracomagus President.

>>31851131
This

I don't know, we aren't a stranger to killing people but it doesn't seem right killing her after finding out that Mr. Vampire was not as insane as we thought he would have been.

>>31851083
??? I'm now curious what you consider this quest to be. And is there anything you consider as comedy?

>>31851121
She has a hot drow chick as her closest assistant. I don't think she cares as long as they're cute.

>>31851156
Since when did we figure any of that out?

>>31851156
What?

That guy was crazy fucking insane. Like really evil bad insane.

>>31851172
He was abusive shoujo love interest insane. The worst kind.

>>31851163
Oh, right. Forgot about that one. Carry on then.

>>31851156
Nah, he was insane, but I don't know why people have become so bloodthirsty either.

>>31851158
This>>31851131

>>31851172
And he could've made our auntie really happy by giving us a litter of vampire goblins.

>>31851169
>>31851172
Chief said he would have joined us later if we didn't kill him didn't he?

>>31851190
more like it's a comedy quest with a secondary adventure theme.

>>31851189
We don't want to bring anybody home from Namek except the team we left with, that's why.

And this "Queen of Blood" person ain't gonna sit in our chairs.

>>31851189
Dude. We kill people all the time and think nothing of it. We've executed people who we liked because we don't take prisoners.

This is more a practicality thing.

>>31851222
I wanted to bring cute lizard boy home..

Maybe we can find another cute lizard?

>>31851189
People aren't being bloodthirsty. It's just what else are we going to do with her? We don't need her as a prisoner since we're trying to leave this continent behind and we can't let her go. She wants the doll from us so she'd just attack us again.

Shax has murdered people instead of taking prisoners on more than one occasion.

>>31851213
I'm pretty sure that was a joke. He called this continent the Otome game continent in that post.

>>31851213
Only if we freed him.

And that doesn't make him any less insane.

>>31851233
Those are redshirts from Team NPC, not a destined rival.

>>31851251
I see no difference.

>>31851251
Axe girl is a better destined rival. We don't need any extra people trying to butt in to the rivalry.

Shax does need a boyfriend... what should it be?

>>31851233
We haven't done anything like that in a while. The moment we took away that girls club she wouldn't have been a threat anymore, and she probably wouldn't even count as an oversized weapon user.

>>31851241
Yeah, it's a shame about the lizardguy.

He was cool, up until he backstabbed us and tried to turn Shax into a mindless zombie.

>>31851273
Bear.

>>31851251
we killed fish dude
we're already leaving axe girl alive even though she's gotten in our way 2-3 times already

you know why? She's incompetent. This girl isn't. She dies.

>>31851273
I'd rather not worry about it.

Shax can do whatever she wants. She doesn't need to listen to auntie and she doesn't want to either.

>>31851273
Sword spirit.
We kill enough things and our sword gets soul bits and we date that.

>>31851299
Wow, nice hivemind.

>>31851311
Some people have no taste anon, it can't be helped.

Immediaetly you assess the damage done to your team. Allonces looks pretty hurt, and Sitri has welts all over her. "Haha, that whip guy was on me something fierce." She scratches her head, with an apologetic smile on her face. Bearbreath is fine, obviously, and Brokagh seems to be doing okay.

"Yeah, I wasn't even sure how to approach these guys. Their arms are bigger than my chest," He thumps his bare chest a couple of times for emphasis, "And it is pretty big." You would describe him as broad.

Fetidclaw is doing fine. "Being an archer has it's benefits, even if arrows do jackshit and fuck all to those things." That language. For some reason everyone gives him a disapproving look.

Still, you've got a problem here. This lady is down for the count but she is major trouble. A powerful necromancer, with all kinds of debuffs. Who knows what sort of awesome summons she had. Maybe she could have even made those giants. But hey, she lost and you won. And there isn't much reason to let her live to keep harassing you.

Allonces glances at you, "So, what are you planning for her? Gonna interrogate her?" She leans in close and whispers, "Having been on the receving end, you aren't very good at it." Hey! That's uncalled for. Without any further thought, you pick up your sword and bring it down on the headdress girl.

>A star flickers out in the night sky.

That takes care of that.

Sitri rubs her chin looking at the club. "Hmm. This tetsubo might be enchanted. Wanna take it with you?"

You shrug, "Who can carry it anyway?"

"Can't you carry a bunch of stuff?" You give her a look, "Not saying you're a pack mule! Just pointing it out." You could. Might as well, you guess. you take the big club and put it on your back.

>>31851311
Well shit,why not both.

>>31851273
Squidguy

God dammit.

I was hoping to avoid this waifu/husbando bullshit in this quest. Or at least let it happen naturally without too much fuss from the playerbase as the quest develops.

But then this asshole had to open the can of worms and make it a topic of discussion.

>>31851344
I regret nothing.

It's time to keep heading to the altar! A few uneventful days pass on your trip there, and it seems like most of the fires in Utalaga have died down. Fetid assure you that you're in the right spot, and there is a small temple here. It looks like it has been worn down recently.

Inside, you see an altar and a chair. The altar has a plate with fruit on it. It seems someone has been here in the past few days. Nothing is leaping out at you to attack you like the last one. Aren't there supposed to be guardians?

>Claim the altar?
>Is this a trap. This seems like a trap. Let's look for traps.
>Smash it.

>>31851357
>Is this a trap. This seems like a trap. Let's look for traps.
WITH THE CHALICE OF TRUE SIGHT!

>>31851301
She could be jack Rackan, all she needs is a little self awareness about how absurd the stuff she pulls of is.

>>31851357
>claim it

>>31851357
>Is this a trap. This seems like a trap. Let's look for traps.
Sneaky sneaky.

>>31851357
>take it

There's no trap here.

>>31851357
>Is this a trap. This seems like a trap. Let's look for traps

>>31851357
Does this mean we are going to forget about the blood throne thing?

>>31851357
>Is this a trap. This seems like a trap. Let's look for traps.
Drink from the chalice.

>>31851357
>Claim the altar?

Of course it's a trap but the best way to test for traps is to set off the trap. That way, you KNOW there's a trap and you aren't left second guessing yourself.

It makes sense, see?

>>31851344
It's just joking, guy.

>>31851357
>Claim the altar?

>>31851334
>Bearbreath is fine, obviously,
I love this.

>>31851357
>Check for traps

Just claim the altar.

>>31851357

>Is this a trap. This seems like a trap. Let's look for traps.

Let's take a sip from that chalice and see what horrors have been hidden from our sight.

>>31851443
Yeah, chalicetime.

>>31851357
Steal the traps

>>31851357
Drink from the chalice, then snack on some fruit. It's definitely been too long since we ate something.

>>31851118

It's a lot closer to 90%

>>31851121

That's what I hope people think it is!

I liked him to. I was gonna have him betray you the first time you roll a 1, and if you had gotten through the continent cancelling/not rolling any you woulda gotten him.

Turns out you crit fail basically immediately!

Seriously? You had to know this was impossible.

>>31851517
So dual wielding is gonna be standard now right?

>>31851614
I wonder if her weapon is as magically enchanted as ours.

>>31851718
Isn't ours not at all enchanted? It's made out of super material thanks to earth elemental, that's it.

>>31851744
Pretty sure the earth dude just enchanted it to be super hard

Why are drow lady and dragon lady fighting this war anyway?

>>31851835
To take over the world. Duh.

>>31851835
Because their evil, why else?

>>31851835
I don't know about personal reasons but I imagine the whole kill the surfacers, be evil and that whole shtick.

>>31851843
Maybe we should ask her? She could tell us exactly why.

>>31851835
I don't know, why does Sea Mom want to flood the world?

You drink from the chalice and glance around. This place looks clean. alright. Time to eat. You pick up an apple from the plate. It has a wire attached to it and pulling it shuts the doors of the temple behind you. Lights turn on all over the place, in big bright glaring beams.

A trap!

Nothing is happening, though. You tentively take a bite from the apple. A familiar feeling of falling through space and an explosion of light from inside your mind happens. When your vision clears, you're in some sort of library. There are lamps everywhere, and they are all giving you some sorta awful glare.

Who would design a library like this.

An old woman hobbles over to you. "Greetings, aspirant, to the Glaring Archives. Please wait here while I find the master of this place." She motions to a seat. Well, no reason to be rude. You look at the books. Everything has foiled titles and the light makes it freaking impossible to see what they are. Is this some kind of hell or something?

You pull one out and flip through it. You have to get into a weird angle in a chair to be able to read and it is super uncomfortable, but you manage it. It's slow going but it appears to be some sort of fairy tale. It is about a young elf girl and her being saved by a dragon. The dragon raises her and then eats her. The girl then cuts her way out of the dragons stomach, because the dragon ate the only weapon that could kill her earlier to prevent anyone from getting it. What a stupid story. If you had the only thing that could kill you, you would just use it as a weapon. Then you'd probably just fall on it or something dumb in a dramatic twist. Fairy tales are stupid. You shut the book, and look at the clock on the wall.

Two hours have passed.

Good lord.

"I've brought the master as I said I would, aspirant." You fall out of your chair at the sound of her voice. Rubbing your backside, you stand up.

A weird looking person is standing there. It looks sort of like a golem, all metal and wood. "Hello." It waves at you.

"Hi, I'm Shax. What the heck are you?"

The old woman interjects, "The master of this place."

"Oh, I'm supposed to beat you up, then?"

The golem thing shakes its head, "Nah, you can have it. I was waiting for someone to come along to take it."

"Eh? Why?"

The golem looks at the ceiling, "I've been taking care of this place for a very long time. But I couldn't let the plane revert to its natural state. I wanted to hand it off to someone. Say, if I let you have control, will you promise to not change the library?"

"I dunno if I can help that."

Twin glass eyes fix on yours, "If you promise now, it will stay."
