My apologies for not running a game on Wednesday: Tuesday evening I was asked to come into work on my day off. I apologise to anyone who was waiting around for me.

I’m a little sleep-deprived today, so if this quest isn’t up to usual standards, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it. If I disappear for 30-40 minutes it’s because I’m taking getting my beauty sleep (and girl, do I need all the beauty sleep I can get).

Questions and Answers
Our Halo applies a malus to evil creatures, and demons always detect as evil.
It also applies a bonus to all allies.
How does it behave in regards to demon or part-demon allies?
- It provides a bonus, not a penalty, to half-demon allies

Can we choose lower levels of Aspect of the Dragon to turn into?
I.E. If we had L2 AotD, could we use the L1 transformation?
- Yes

When you say, 'or a combination of both' in the AotD transformation description, does that only apply to the wings or would we go full fluff-dragon?
- The wings only

If we got Permanent Sanctuary, could we turn it off completely or suppress it to the point of it not giving us away?
- Yes, you can suppress or resume it at will

Requesting a segment on Perils of the Arcane in the Rules pastebin.

Question: I browse Quest Thread General from time to time, when this quest gets bought up one of the main criticisms is that this quest is too easy on the players, with no severe consequences for bad choices or rolls. As players, what is your view, and what would you want to see changed in this regard?
Possible changes for example: Don’t hint at which choices are bad; bad choices/rolls result in (temporary) bad ends; bad choices/rolls result in failed quests/plots; bad choices/rolls result in dead party members, etc.

The driver seems to be just going about his business in a professional way and is not awaiting a trap to spring as soon as you enter the carriage, or anything of that nature.

Hey Mathrian, I hope your girlfriends trip to the doctors turned out ok.

be happy for what you got

>>33694115
>Don't hint which choices are bad
Don't do this ever, not hinting that certain choices are bad is a terrible idea; we evidently miss the hints anyway, if how we handled the sorcerer was actually a trap.
The second already happens, as evidenced by the whole near-slavery thing.
The third should take a series of bad decisions and/or rolls, and I thought it would be happening anyway if we fucked up badly enough.
Making the last one happen due to rolls would be just about the worst possible thing to do; I wouldn't want it to happen due to any one decision either.

TL;DR, you've been doing a fine job, don't let that place and the things it says influence you much, if at all.

Also, I have no real desire to spend that XP on anything, we could finish off Sorc R3, but can't afford any spells so there's no reason to get it.

>>33694278
Well only missed the BEGINNING this time instead of half like back in quest 9 or 10.

Thanks Pally. She is doing well, got some antibiotics and steroids and shes about done with the treatment. Seems to have cleared up the issues with her lungs.

>XP
So far I'm thinking of just leaving it to accumulate as thats been the plan.

With a look at your companions you decide to get in the carriage “Lead on” you say.

You get in the carriage and are taken through the streets of Arrowgate to the Hotel. Its midday and the city streets are packed with people. All manner of strange folk rub shoulders here, demon-bloods are the most common, more than a few dragon-bloods, orcs, half-orcs, beastmen, minotaurs, centaurs and others. Very few humans or near-humans can be seen. The see opulent wealth, only a few streets away from abject poverty, the rich and the poor living side by side, though the divide is obvious. Vast buildings loom in the distance, some with large chimneys spewing smoke into the air.

Wherever you go the air tastes faintly of ash. Sofia covers her mouth and starts coughing, Jal hands her a silk handkerchief, Sofia gratefully clutches it to her mouth.

You arrive at an impressive looking building and are dropped off at the main entrance, your driver leads you inside to the reception desk and has a quiet conversation with the young demon-blood at the desk. She gives you a big professional smile and says “Lady Victoria Sammi, welcome to the Dark Lily, Arrowgates top hotel.”

Looking around you can see other guests relaxing on expensive-looking chairs, drinking and chatting. There seems to be an awful lot of mixed race couples here.

The young girl continues “The Honeymoon Suite has been paid for you already, two weeks up front. I’ll ask one of the porters to take your bags up, would you like any refreshments delivered to your room?”

>Go up to room
>Order some room service
>What is the Dark Lily?
>Honeymoon Suite?
>Who paid for this?
>other

It sounds like Jal is shifting from foot to foot behind you, she might be about to make an inappropriate joke, or perhaps she’s holding it in this time.

>>33694436
murderhobo anon?

“Is the room service complimentary?” you ask, wary of hidden costs.
“Oh yes” she assures you.

“What is the Dark Lily?” you ask, “And where did the insignia come from?”

She perks up a bit and delivers an answer that sounds like it comes from an advertising poster “The Dark Lily is a hotel of quality for those of means who want to have some time away from the judgements of society. The symbol of the Dark Lily was once used by young men and women on notes to secret lovers. We pride ourselves on protecting the privacy of all of our clientele.”

“And the Honeymoon Suite?” you ask, somewhat suspicious.

“I one of our finest suites on the top floor” she says, her cheeks go a deeper red but she pushes on “It has specially reinforced walls, floor and ceiling to ensure little to no sound escapes, and has excellent wards against scrying – for the privacy and safety of our clients!” she insists

“Who paid for all of this?” This sounded expensive

“Our privacy policy prevents me from disclosing the names of any of our clientele” she says apologetically “Perhaps you have an admirer?”

With nothing else to ask you all follow the porter to the top floor. And just in time too, Jal is coming down with an attack of giggles.

You are shown into an extravagant suite of rooms, fine furniture, decorations, enough rooms for a dozen servants, a sitting room, a dining room, a reception room, and a master bedroom with a number of unusual pieces of furniture and some...items laid out that you need to lock away in a cupboard before Jal sees them, or you’ll never hear the end of it.

They certainly have a different attitude to certain things in the Empire of Drache.

After showing you and Gendric the master bedroom, the porter leaves. In this room you can barely hear outside noises and the air within is clean and pure, Sofia lowers her handkerchief with a sigh of relief “What now?” she asks

>>33694601

Its all rainbows and sunshine until alt-Sireyi gets ANGRY!

>>33694696
actually the main problem imo is that this quest doesn't really endear you to any of the characters. its like 99% plot and 1% characterization

You find no traps, or spyholes or anything else suspicious.

Detect Magic: Entire room emits a magical aura, several in fact.

Arcane Sight: The room has a strong ward against scrying - though not as powerful as advertised; the door locks magically; the room is protected by an alarm spell if anyone breaks in, or beats the scrying spell; the room has a second alarm spell that is activated if anyone in the room is badly hurt or sick.
Both alarm spells are inaudible, but alert someone further down in the hotel (probably hotel staff or security).

>>33694696
>>33694773
Thank you for the feedback, I'll have to think on that for a bit.

>>33694696

I respectfully disagree. There's enough grim darkness everywhere, no point to force it into half-angel paladin quest.
Not to mention it's far from sunshine and rainbows - there were deaths of innocents, there was slave rape, there was assasination...

After making sure all of your companions are settled in, they even have ogre-sized servants quarters that Bokin is comfortable in, you order some lunch for yourself and your companions whilst having a discreet discussion with Gendric.

The food is of excellent quality and the hotel has a wide variety of menu choices, they don’t even blink at being asked for enough food to feed Bokin.

Sofia declares the food to be adequate, whilst Jal seems to be trying to engage Bokin in an eating contest.

“Gendric” you say “What were you supposed to do had you returned with me as a captive?”

He shifts uncomfortably in his chair “I was supposed to take you to Mistress Ilveyen of the Arrowgate House of Flesh, I wasn’t planning on taking you there without negotiating how I’m going to get paid of course.”

>>33694773

I personally feel pretty endeared towards the party members, although I guess there could be more interactions. But I'd rather not force OP to alter his or her style - I don't think you can have everything, especially on limited space the posts allow. Take Princess Guard for instace: plenty of character interaction, but plot advances slower than at realtime.

>>33694797
>Who is Mistress Ilveyen
>Tell me more about the Houses of Flesh

Personally I actually love the whole black and white approach but it does cause storytelling issues.

>>33694797
>Who is Mistress Ilveyen
>Tell me more about the Houses of Flesh
>How do you think we should proceed?


Regarding the feedback >>33694773
In a way I get what hes saying, but personally I am enjoying the characters and feel rather connected. However it would definitely be nice to be able to have more interactions with them. But I worry about sacrificing actual plot advancement for that. Either way one loses out to the other and I've personally been really digging the rate of story progression.

>>33694797

>Tell me more about the mistress Ilveyen
>Do you know anyone else important in this city?
by the way, do we know where the demon lords have their seat(s) of power?

How would he know rebel goals without being their leader?

>>33694819
Pringles quest: the quest that takes 2-3 weeks to move forward a day.

>>33694853
he would at least know about what the rebels advertise.

I want to see how the rebels advertise themselves

>>33694782
>offscreen death of innocents, slave rape and assasination
totally going to hit us emotionally

>>33694889

That's pretty irrelevant to their true motives though.

If we meet some high ranking rebel though, Gendric's special ability can come in extremely handy though.

>>33694853
A better question to ask is
>How well known are the rebels, do they have certain "dreams and ideals" they scream about?

>>33694927
>bumping a quest thread
the irony

>>33694928
You're on 4chan. Stop pretending to be innocent

“And what are the Houses of Flesh?” you ask

Gendric screws up his face like he doesn’t want to answer, eventually he says “Brothels, expensive ones where the whores are transformed into a variety of shapes to suit the tastes of the customers. The Mistress of Flesh is both the brothel madam and a powerful sorcerer specialising in transformation magics, I’d heard Ilveyen was one of the best, so I’m not sure why she only has a single House.”

“What’s a brothel?” asks Bokin around a mouthful of food, Jal starts choking on her food as she laughs.

“And how do you think we should proceed?” you ask Gendric.

He pauses to consider this “I think I’d need some proof I have you in custody” he says “A feather or some hair or something, I’ll use that to convince Ilveyen that I’m ready to make the exchange, and then I’ll ask for more money, she’ll need to contact her mysterious benefactors and maybe even bring them in on the deal.”

“What are the rebels goals?” you ask him

“I couldn’t really say” he responds “overthrow of the government, equal rights for non-bloods, who can say for sure? I do know that for now, most of their recruitment efforts have been amongst the nobles and the wealthy.”

>Alright, you’ll go visit Ilveyen with some proof
>You’ll go visit Ilveyen without proof
>I’ll go with you in disguise

>>33694945
>Isn't it dangerous to give a sorcerer specializing in flesh-magic bits of me?

I forget, is Ilveyen the possible rebel contact or the person he was originally going to bring us to? I can't fucking remember at this point.

>>33694945
>Alright, you’ll go visit Ilveyen with some proof
>Isn’t it dangerous to give a sorcerer specialising in flesh-magic bits of me?

>>33694945

>giving a flesh-sorceress pieces of own body
not a good idea at all.
I think we should put our avarice at rest for a moment and just go meet the pimp lady in disguise, if we're going to meet her at all. Although maybe it's her who ordered the room.

Maybe Jal could try and snuff out some clandestine organizations in the city?

>>33694945
>Isn’t it dangerous to give a sorcerer specialising in flesh-magic bits of me?
>What other ways could we contact the rebels?
If all else fails or is safe than

>Alright, you’ll go visit Ilveyen with some proof
>Whole party follows Ilveyen until she meets contact

>>33694976
Ilveyen was one of the bidders for you, offering a very high sum, leading Gendric to think she had financial (rebel) backers.

“Isn’t it dangerous to give a sorcerer specialising in flesh-magic bits of me?” you ask

“It’s not without risk” Gendric concedes “But I don’t know how else to prove to her that I have captured you.”

“What other ways could we contact the rebels?” you ask, keeping your options open

“We could ask around” he says “Discretely of course, we might find a rebel contact, or we may run into the Crimson Guard. Or if you were to use your powers in public briefly, the rebels would come looking for you – it would need to be showy of course.”

>>33695042
I'd really rather not.

>>33695011

>Are you familiar with flesh magic? What could Ilveyen do with such a focus?

I don't think Jal could safely tail a person that no doubt has experience in dealing with criminals as Ilveyen is liable to. I'd let her take Bokin and maybe Sofia (so she's not left alone) and try to discreetly find rebels in a seedier part of town.

We could visit the lady with Gendric, but in dragon disguise. Unless we reach conclusion that giving out a token is a risk worth taking, but I'd advise against it.

>>33695042
Just use some invisibility spell on her.

>>33695069
Then why'd you vote for it?

>>33695011
>discuss it further, no decision yet

....I have no recollection of putting that there. I..I.. Maybe I need some caffeine...

“What could Ilveyen do with a part of me?” you ask Gendric. He ponders this before answering.

“Flesh magic is very specialised, so I have no direct knowledge of it. I think she could use that part of you to transform one of her whores into a physical copy of you, and that she could also use it to locate you, or transform you at a distance” he continues “but, you’re hard to use magic on at the best of times.”

"Could we possibly have you go to Ilveyen and tell her that I've come willingly to meet with her, due to my interest in her potential backers?" you ask Gendric hopefully.

“We could” he says “But I don’t know what she’d do.”

Pal, your quest is great. I'm usually one to complain about dice systems, the lack of difficulty, the ridiculous power growth of the MC or other things. I even contemplated doing so, but decided against it because I see your quest not in the same way I do others. For me, this is not a game to overcome insurmountable odds, where we have to struggle at every corner. This is a story. I know the good guys will mostly win and I'm ok with it. Miss Valyenya is the destined hero, things will fall her way and she will meet all sorts of interesting and quirky companions no matter how unlikely the encounter and characters. This is not a story about someone struggling at every corner, throwing dice to duke it out with masses of enemies. This is the story of a half-angel who walks the path of fate and righteousness with sure step and pride, never stumbling.

Yes, the story would not work that way in a 'realistic' world. The struggles are too easily overcome, the friends too easily found and too unique. The dice system means that even against supposedly just as powerful enemies we will succeed nearly all the time. But that's ok.

Scrying right now is stupid. We already established that the anti-scrying measures are inadequate. The one we scry on likely has detection items or similar and will attempt counter-scrying. Which in turn will sound the alarm.

Do we have any way to shield against scrying? If so, use it immediately after scrying.

>Failure

You cannot resolve a clear image of Mistress Ilveyen, perhaps you don't know enough about her, or perhaps she's in a warded location.

You could of course keep trying if you want to.

>>33695204
Basically this quest is the Fairy Tail equivalent of shounen is what you're trying to say.

>>33695204
'Challenges' we've faced recently include some barely-competent slavers and Gendric, who was actually somewhat prepared for our power and thus managed to defeat us.
We also got wounded pretty badly by that ogre chieftain, although he was wielding an axe that was more or less made to wreck us.
Rolling well doesn't equal auto-success either, since enemies get their own rolls and bonuses.

Fact is, if we went up against a truly powerful foe, like a greater demon or angel, we'd get stomped at our current level.

In a way. There was some 'genuine' struggle in later chapters, as I recall. Of course, this only lasted a very short time before the good guys leveled up.

After trying your scrying spell you return to the conversation
“Jal” you say, turning to the young elf who seems to have missed the point of cutlery and is eating with her fingers “do you think you could tail Mistress Ilveyen?”

“Yes!” she says confidently “The abbess won’t see a cokum chavy.”

“And could you locate the rebels, you think?”

“weeeeelll, I dunno, plenty of folk wot dun like the redshirts, but real rebels, wi’ plans and th’ like, might take a few days.”

Whilst Jal is mulling over how she’d locate the rebels, you ask Bokin what he thinks.

“Ummm, how will Jal follow Mistress Ilveyen if she’s good at flesh magics?” asks Bokin “Can’t she just change her looks?”

“I think the best approach is the straightforward one” chimes in Sofia “You and Gendric go to see her in your disguise, show her a feather but don’t let her keep it, and then you try and talk her into revealing her connections.”

“Do warding spells block your soul-sight?” you ask Gendric

“They can” he responds “But then the person just looks kinda grey to me – I can tell they’re blocking.”

Lets do Sofia's plan. If all else fails we can always have Jal follow as a backup

>>33695313
Now... I may not be thinking the best. But I actually like Sofia's plan. Except it might not be a wonderful idea for us personally to go, but it could work out fine.

>Formulate plan

>>33695300
I read what? Lol

>>33695313
Gendric meets whatever her name is
Shows her the feather/item
Does deal but keeps feather
Than leaves
>Jal optional here to follow whatever her name is

>>33695313
Thank you based Sofia, lets do everything besides us going as well

>>33695299
Of course we are not invulnerable or all-powerful. Something has to stop us from just blazing through the towns purifying all demons. Still, Gendric was the only one we lost to so far and even he was easily convinced to free us and become our ally. We are far more powerful than our stats alone suggest and our stats are far higher than someone of equal experience should have.

We are a newly minted paladin who can solo entire Ogre tribes and convince bountyhunters to change their whole life to protecting people without any magic. Just throwing that out there.

OK, so the direct approach appears to be the plan.

Let's assume she can see through the disguise. Or at least tell that the owner of the feather she is checking for angeliness is standing right in front of her.

>>33695380
>Go tomorrow (will give time to heal up our mana and shit)

Have whole party nearby in case Gendric gets trolled an captured. keep scrying on gendric throughout the convo as well

>>33695383
I can't tell if I should be proud or insulted by the comparison of myself to Muttley.

this allows us to have some interparty talks possibly? Since people seem to want more of that.

>Feather
>Take proof back after showing

>Gendric only

>>33695385
And its wonderful!
Also I don't really think gw3 is arguing that or even necessarily saying its a bad thing. Just pointing out that we aren't doing an epic constantly uphill struggle. In fact
>Yes, the story would not work that way in a 'realistic' world. The struggles are too easily overcome, the friends too easily found and too unique. The dice system means that even against supposedly just as powerful enemies we will succeed nearly all the time. But that's ok.

Says straight up that its ok to have things be that way.

>>33695380

>Go tomorrow
I kinda want to know if whoever paid for the room will make a move, although that might be a very bad idea.

Anyway, let's go with Sofia's plan. Show, not give, both Gendric and disguised Sireyi.

>>33695385

and it's awesome that way

You decide that Gendric is going alone, with a feather which he'll keep hold of.

And he'll be going Tomorrow

Ok, so we've narrowed it down to
Talk to party
play games
play truth or dare
examine lightning core

Room has several decks of cards, local version of chess, simple stuff like that, plus you could request others from the hotel.

You decide to talk to Bokin first of all

>>33695510

>[x] all of the above
but if we're saving time, ask briefly how he's doing, then focus on "what he makes of our adventures so far"

“You’ve been quiet” you say to Bokin “How have you been doing?”

He shrugs “Just watching and learning for now”

“And how are you finding life in the cities?” you ask

“Different” he responds “crowded, I’m not sure it’s better than the way we lived in the mountains even though there’s so much” he spreads his arms out wide “stuff, everywhere.”

“So you’re adjusting to life with the little people?” you ask

He chuckles “Yeah, I like it here, you meet all sorts of interesting people, and go on adventures, and Sofia always has something smart to say and Jal always has something funny to say.”

“You never said” he says “When I asked: What is a brothel?”

>I’ll explain about brothels when you’re older

>Are you and Gendric getting on?
>You ever want to go back home?

He's 14. That's old enough to know about Brothels in this world, which means he's old enough to learn about it in the demon-infested world.
>Tell him an age appropriate version.
Core idea is sexual favours in exchange for goods, but in reality it's usually poor, weak people who are forced to do it and owners who take all the money. I'm not sure if anyone has had the sex-talk with him though, so a roundabout phrase "selling their bodies" might be necessary to convey the meaning.

Query: I seem to recall that our goddess was campaigning for the recognition of prostitutes as a legitimate profession. Is that true?

>>33695631

Voting over, writing

You tactfully explain a few of the facts of life to Bokin. Growing up in a small clan he seems aware of the basic mechanics of sex, but ignorant of the wider implications.

You explain how prostitution isn’t bad by itself, but that unprincipled individuals often exploit those who sell their bodies for money. You finish by explaining the doctrine of Velya on the matter – that prostitutes should be allowed to ply their trade, free of slavery, exploitation, rape etc.

Bokins pale blue skin turns a deep blue throughout the conversation and he doesn’t respond much to what you say, his eyes wide. He seems to be looking for a change of topic.

“Are you and Gendric getting on?”

Bokins grimaces “He’s spending a lot of time with you, I don’t trust him, I think he’ll sell you to that Ilveyen tomorrow, but don’t worry, I’ll be watching you.”

“What’ll you do when the adventure is over?” you ask

Bokin smiles, a somewhat cynical look on his face “Grandfather said if I left with you, I would never be coming back to the clan, so you tell me: where do I go when you don’t want me anymore? I mean, you have Gendric now.”

>>33695909
lol why do you want that anon?

>>33695909
Opposed, it was okay early in the quest but at this point there have been references to our height and it would result in inconsistencies.

>>33695905
mate, the wars will continue for quite some time.
If other quests are anything to go by than samefagging will risk a gazzilion tor nodes to samefag. that and using phones/calling friends too.
Don't understimate the level of samefagging that can occur when husbando/waifu wars begin.

>>33695905
I think with our current level of hivemnd that we can risk letting waifuing come back.
i.e. letting romance come back

>>33695796

>Thank you for watching my rear, Bokin, but I believe we can trust Gendric.

He's 14. Don't lead him on. You'll only worsen the issue.

>>33695905
>Well thats obviously what hes worried about
Subconsciously. Even if he is attracted to us, jealousy does not necessitate romantic feelings. We have taken Bokin to go on an adventure and now he wants to be on an adventure *with* us. Instead he's been confined to the bellow of a ship for weeks and when we finally got an adventurous episode? We only take the fire-guy and not Bokin with us.
>Also it in character puts off further husbando/waifu wars
How?

>>33695939

best way to break the hivemind and make this quest's participants interesting and talk moar.

>>33695862
>Didn't matter this time, but would you count >>33695732 ?

Yes, voting option was clear, even though they had other stuff in post.

>>33695901

>>33695909
I'm not going to just retcon it away Anon, however there is an option later down the line for Sireyi's physical appearance to be permanently altered, so don't give up hope.

“Thank you for watching over me Bokin” you say, patting his arm “I’m pretty sure I can trust Gendric. You can stay with me as long as you want Bokin, I won’t abandon you.”

“Thank you” he says after a moments silence.

“Sometimes, fate might be more flexible than you think. Even if you cannot return to your clan, you might make friends somewhere else or even decide to study something for a few years. Your have your own life and at one point you might want to go another path than I do. For now, however, you will stay with me. For I have little wish to be rid of you Bokin. You are a good friend and I consider you to be a good companion. And so far Gendric is proving he can be the same. There is no competition to be my friend Bokin.”

Really though, Angels tend to be fairly tall, it makes a certain amount of sense for her to inherit that characteristic.
6 feet is actually a pretty average height for a male human, probably about average for a female angel.

You know exactly what to do with this thing. If you shift the order of the smaller cubes around, it will activate the different powers of the box. The pirates had it stuck on *amplify wild magic* by accident – it’s not doing that because it’s powered down.

But you’re pretty sure you know just how to twist it to switch that off.

You really have a problem with her being tall don't you. Were you kicked by a giantess as a child, anon?

You decide to talk to Jal, who’s in the master bedroom, examining all of the...objects there and busy laughing herself breathless.

What do you talk to her about?

>How are you doing?
>Not worried about being an elf in a society that would make you a slave?
>What do you plan to do when the adventure ends?
>Do you even know what that thing you’re holding is for?
>Other

I should make images for ALL THE QUESTION S time.

>>33696152
mate, relax
We were pretty normal originally and sucked balls physically (we were the face/leader/negotiator of the group whilst jianxi was the rogue/jack of all trades, isla was the skeleton key mage and Matthias was the tank/fighter)

Resort to base insults and insinuations because you can't win an argument with normal means, excellent strategy.

6 ft isn't even abnormal.

>>33696166
>How are you doing?
>Not worried about being an elf in a society that would make you a slave?
>What do you plan to do when the adventure ends?
>Do you even know what that thing you’re holding is for?

Every question forever.

>>33696176
The pinpoint moment this quest went from 10 to 11 on the scale of crazy overpowered was when we started becoming master of all trades. Just needa learn invis and unlock spell and we can basically do everything

>>33696166
>>Do you even know what that thing you’re holding is for?
>Can you explain it to me?

>How are you doing?
>Not worried about being an elf in a society that would make you a slave?

>How is life in high-society treating you?

Well when we took the attribute enhancing powers we went far from the human-like to engine of destruction.

At least that's where I see the tipping point. But it tipped from great to awesome in my eyes so I don't really mind. Besides we still need much more power overwhelming before we can do what needs to be done in this world - either that, or some devilishly devious trickery.

>>33696165
I only have a problem with her being tall when she's so many other things.
>>33696176
Now we can take on groups of twenty men with our trusty magic armor and lightning powers.
>>33696189
No, seriously, y'all being unendowed is the only reason I can think of for why she is the way she is.

“How are you doing?” You ask Jal when she’s found her breath again

“Like a broadsman with all a mugs couter” she says (You think that means she’s doing good)

“Not worried about being an elf in a society that would make you a slave?” You inquire

She straightens up and shakes her head dismissively “Nah, that’s just the game, I’m not glocky, but I’m no fraidy neiver.”

“What do you plan to do when the adventure ends?” You wonder about her future

She shrugs “back ta being a gonoph, only choice really”

“Do you even know what that thing you’re holding is for?” you ask, hoping she’ll put it down so you can talk to her without the distraction.

Thanks to Jals rather suggestive miming, you are clear that she knows exactly what that is for, and now you do too.

“How is life in high society treating you?” you try a different tack.

She thinks about that one, then rushes out to grab her backpack and returns with dozens of fine handkerchiefs in her hands “Lookit all these pulls I found, I only ter bless em and they’re as good as clink.”

>Why do you keep stealing handkerchiefs?
>Thank you for that rather...graphic bit of play-acting, now put it down
>Oh so that’s what that is for, put that to one side, I may want to try it myself
>You don’t have to go back to being a street thief you know, there are other options
>Other

>>33696238
Indeed anon. We also need a lot more will before we can transform demons into angels and begin the creation of our personal host so that we may ascend into godhood.

>>33696256
We don't want to become a god, we want to keep being a human!

>>33696253

>personal host
yeah I'm not sure how I feel about that and the breeding-related powers.

>mfw reading that part of rules pastebing

>>33696238
Yeah, we aren't anywhere near strong enough to fight a Greater Demon, let alone a Demon Lord, at least in a fair fight.

I wouldn't count our physical attributes as 'engine of destruction' either, given that Gendric has physical stats on par with us.

Really, it seems like our power is only above average for half-angel/demons due to our lightning heritage.

Demi-human, but yeah, I agree with this sentiment.

I meant personal host as in a converted host of now angels rather than... well that. But.....that is workable. lol

>>33696276
>>33696282
Um... guys do you remember our future self? We were far past human and definitely into crazy powerful angel. When you live like... what was it 2000 years naturally? you tend to accumulate the power to become immortal and become a god or demi-god at the very least.

>>33696279
There's more to endowment than the size your dick, Mathrian. For instance, there's your height, your weight, your cup size, your figure, your looks, your social status, your wealth, and your health. All of these areas are ones in which Sireyi excels at. Can you say the same?

Yes, of course. Silly me. I must have been imagining things. Let's move on.

“Why do you keep stealing handkerchiefs?” You ask, wondering if this is some childhood habit

“A pulls as good as clink if ya bless it” responds Jal.

“Yeeeees” you say “Now try it in common.”

Jal concentrates “A ‘ankerchief wot is made well is easy to re-sell for coins, if you remove alla tha i-dent-efy-ing marks like names an such.”

“Thank you for that rather...graphic bit of play-acting, now put it down” you say, indicating the other item she still has hold of.

“Right you are boss” she says, using it to salute you, you hear her mutter under her breath “Gotta tell Gendric you wanna try that one later, can’t wait to see is face.” Then she finally puts it down.

“You don’t have to go back to being a street thief you know, there are other options” You say

Jal freezes, tensing up, “like wot?” she say, staring at you

>Well, I’m sure Sofia can find a place for you, once she has her kingdom back
>You could come and live with me, I know a girl called Jianxi you’d get along with
>Just y’know, keep your options open
>Other

>>33696317
>Being a powerful or immortal demi(?)-angel means you become a god
>Acquiring power means becoming less human
Weakness: Thinking

>>33696317
That isn't us, we're the demi-human placed on this realm in the hopes of pur goddess to do good, right wrongs, and spread joy. When we go full angel is when we stop having any involvement with the planes and Sireyi is no longer of a human mind. When she is no longer of a human mind, she is no longer playable.

>>33696325

Sireyi is too nice and good. And I want to keep her that way.

Now please desist from obsessing over her height. There is no cosmic rule that would require everyone to have set of karmic points to spend on physical attributes. This is how she was and is, just deal with it. It's not even significant.

Really, only issue here is your feelings and perception of what is 'fair'. I respect your opinion and personally don't care about height. I would have loved the story even if Sireyi was just regular mortal, but I don't think it's important enough to warrant a retcon.

>>33696343
>Well, I’m sure Sofia could find a place for you, once she has her kingdom back, if you want.
>You could come and live with me, I know a girl called Jianxi you’d probably get along with.
>Just y’know, keep your options open.

These aren't mutually exclusive, let her know she has options and friends.

>>33696343
>Just y’know, keep your options open, both me and Sofia will be happy to help you find a place

>>33696353
Look man, I just need her 5'8" so I can start imagining her while I'm reading into looking like Lu Lingqi, you get me?

Hmm, ok, roll Fellowship 1d20+11

There really are a bunch of options for her.

>>33696325
Excels at? Goodness no. But I'm rather well off actually. Things could certainly be better but I'm actually rather happy with my life. Its also just beginning really, so there is much to look forward to.

>>33696345
Whats the point of acquiring personal power if you aren't putting in a bid for godhood? The more power you have the more you can serve your ideals.

>>33696347
Its like you don't even into grand strategy games anon.
Can you honestly tell me you don't want to wage an eternal war, and win, against the forces of evil?

>>33696343

>Well, for one, Sofia will get her kingdom back eventually, I'm sure she could find a spot for you if you would have it.
>Aside from that, the world is a large place, and there are many worlds...

Seriously now, what's the deal with those rolls
>>33696392
>>33696399

>>33696385
Then imagine her being 5'8." No one's stopping you.

>>33696401
What's the point of acquiring personal power if you lose your humanity in the process?

I can honestly say that no, I don't want this quest to turn into yet another shitty strategy quest.

Rolled 9 + 11

>>33696401
I don't want there to be any war, especially not an eternal one. That goddess thing is just so not us. We're a paladin, first and foremost.

“You have friends now” you say “You don’t need to decide now, but both me and Sofia will be happy to help you find a place.”

“Yeah, well, mebbe” she says in a rough voice, and leaves the room. Seems she wants to think about that before talking some more.

>Success, Jal Loyalty increased

Final choice before night-time

>Talk to Gendric
>Talk to Sofia
>play games

>>33696418
Humanity is a dead end. The only way out is to stop being human.

>>33696418
dw. once we reach godhood we will probably switch chars to sireyi's daughter or something
that and the fact that godhood is at least 20 threads away with the way this quest's speed is going

>>33696343
>There are too many paths to choose. From becoming a full-time adventurer to becoming the hand-maiden of Sofia. Or any of the thousands of legitimate trades you could learn. You might even come to my home plane and live a normal life in a world where half-elves are treated like normal people.
>You could even become a bard. A friend of mine did that. I'm not sure if that profession exists here.

I'm inclined to agree, although personally I'll trust in and deal with OP's discretion.

Talk to Sofia.
we can have morning pillowtalk with Gendric.

FUN time

>>33696436
>Play truth or dare
Seems like the most fun.

>>33696441
I'd rather just be an absurdly powerful being that isn't addicted to faith, rather than a god.

>>33696345
What does being human mean to you? Aquiring power means deviating from the human norm. Not to mention that Siyeri is already a dragon-blooded half-angel half-human divine Champion of two gods.

>>33696417
The pastebin is because all those lazy cowards retconned the damn thing into saying so with their damn majority vote, even though they had no business tampering with the completed chargen what with sitting around on their asses while one anon did the work for them. They should have been happy with what they received.
