>'wat do' prompt for first post
How have you managed 3 threads?

>>34257694
Shit, this started? Well, I'm late then.
Eat bacon, ask what the plan is.

>>34257694
>So you're up, there is bacon, what do you do?"
There is only one answer to this, and it is not anything except "eat bacon."

>>34258325

You fold your front feathers down and lift your wings to your eyes to rub at your eyes.

"G'morning" you mumble at Phi past a small yawn, kicking the front of the bedroll from ontop of you and lifting yourself to your talons to walk to her side "what's going on?"

"Oh? Morning, nothing yet, Big Blue and El are hiding out in a tavern and I'm making you bacon because you need to eat some more." The Frog Girl pinches the bacon with some bread and holds it out so you can take a hold of it and start to eat, which you do, sitting down to lift the breakfast to your face

"We're going to get my stuff, right?"

"'Course, but we've got to talk about last night first, what happened?"

>>34258479
I can't remember anything we need to talk about About what exactly?

>>34258479
"I dunno, woke up in the cell with everything a complete blank."

>>34258514

"Well, Tristan had her dream," Phi says matter-of-factly, dumping the oil from the pan she used to cook the bacon down the middle of the belltower, "and you had yours too, I can tell." She sits herself back against the inner wall of the tower and smiles at you, "So, who's your god? do you remember or should we talk about it later?"

>>34258570
Eh, might as well tell her. Didn't know she'd notice the dream. Ask for advice about how to deal with this whole thing.

>>34258570
Ask if they got dreams too, and how their gods are

>>34258570

You swallow a mouthful of your bacon and tilt her head to rub it against your shoulder. You've got some more questions to ask but you asked a bunch yesterday so you dutifully fill Phi in on what happened

"She said she was called Kino," you tell her

"Kino?" she raises an eyebrow, stuffing a hand into her bag to rummage about, "never heard of that one before."

You ignore her musing to ask her for some advice, "so all of this Scion stuff, what does it all mean? do I have to go around killing people now?"

"Not entirely, though probably."

>>34258808
Ask what they've been doing since becoming scions.

>>34258808
Ask if she's a killer. Not accusingly though.
This is harsh stuff!

>>34258790
>>34258685

Phi pulls a book out from her pack and rests it on her knees, thumbing through it quickly, from a glance you can tell it's written in one of the elven languages and you can't read it.

"So everyone gets dreams?"

"Yeah, it's how your god tells you stuff before you get your marks."

"Ma-..Stop bringing up new stuff!" you whine at her, flapping your wings in annoyance, it's all too much.

"Aww..hush hush, it's okay, we'll get there in a second, a mark is just what we call an enchanted piece of jewellery we use to talk to the gods more directly."

"Do you have one?"

"Yeah."

"So you talk to your god?"

"Squeeth? yeah. all the time."

"What's he like?"

"That's not as important right now as what yours is like."

>>34259001
>Well she seemed nice enough.
>So when will I get my mark?

>>34258856
>>34258927

You don't press that one any further right now and move on, she keeps turning pages and skimming the text. "So what have you and El been doing then? why're you traveling together?"

"We're pulling little leaguers like you out of the fire," she says, blinking up from the book to look at you. "The god games aren't what they used to be, now it's more about politics and war than anything else. This country, Rine, on the face of it, is all about killing Scions, just not the ones that worship their gods. They get drafted into the military."

You sigh forlornly, this is getting worse and worse.

"The scions of small countries or of small gods just get rounded up and killed. We decided that we're going to try and change that."

There is a slight pause before you ask your next question. "So you've killed people? Scions?"

"Yeah, a lot of people, only one Scion though"

"Who's?"

"Alder's Scion, he was the priest at your execution yesterday, pretty minor god of Rine's pantheon."

>>34259114
Hmmm...
How long have they been doing this stuff?

>>34259070

You decide to return to a less murder oriented part of the conversation, "Kino seemed nice, she was a bit strange though, I..." you stop, closing your eyes to try and remember the dream you'd had, "I couldn't really see her."

"That's normal.." she mumbles, frowning at the book.

"When will I get my mark?"

"As soon as I've found your bloody god in this bloody tome, Wow she's obscure! Not a harpy god, a human god, an elf god, a dwarf god, anything, where is she?"

So wait, her name is Kino and she's the goddess of Journeys?
I see what you did there.

>>34259172

You shrug, she looked pretty human to you so you can't really help her out there.

"How long have you and Elric been doing this for?"

"Two days."

You assume she's joking, she doesn't smile. "Seriously?"

"Yep, we me-OH! Oh...oh."

"What?"

"Shit..uhm..this is interesting."

"What is?"

"Did Kino say what she was the god 'of'?"

>>34259207

>"I think she called herself the 'Goddess of Journeys'. Does that help?"

Also,
BB, can you throw up a symbol or a 1/? sign, or whatever so we know when you're done writing a series of post?

>>34259266

(Will do)

>>34259207
Journeys of course!
...you don't have a vendetta against that, right?

>>34259187
>>34259207

(Was totally subtle)

"Journeys," you say. leaning over to look at the book despite the fact you can't read it.

"Oh, then this is her.."

"What's wrong with her? is she evil?"

"Oh, nothing like that...She's just got a lot of baggage," she closes the book and stuffs it away, hefting the thing up onto her back. "So get this, she used to be a human god but got thrown out of the pantheon after she was caught 'cavorting gods who had no right to exist'"

You aren't sure what that means or what you should feel about it.

"You'll fit right in, my god's mainly worshiped by goblins and El's is worshiped by a bunch of islanders in the north, I think we've got the least recognisable bunch of gods ever."

2/3?

>>34259352
Sounds good, wonder what Tristan's is.

>>34259352
>cavorting gods who had no right to exist'

So she's also the god of being a decent person?
No wonder none of those murderhobos like her.

>>34259352

You're mulling all of this stuff over and she reaches into her tunic, you immediately notice and start to blush as she roots around her cleavage for something.

After a second or two she takes out a small necklace and holds it up infront of you. "So this is your mark, we've all got one now, I had a spare all along and we stole one from the dead priest, Tristan's got hers already."

You look up at it, it's pretty plain, a dull metal block is all that hangs from the silver chain, with no features or markings.

She tosses it to you and you catch it in one of your talons. You turn it over to look at it when al of a sudden it changes shape. The chain shrinks into nothingness and the block extends into an ankle hoop with a clear design of a paved road.

"Every Scion gets a mark that fits their race and god," Phi explains, pulling her own necklace up from under her tunic, the charm on it looks like a miniature lock pick, "put that on when you are ready."

>>34259457
Huh. Alright. Thank her, then let's try putting it on.

>>34259457
(3/3, btw)

>>34259457
Ask why she keeps jewelry in her cleavage. Also if we can contact our god now or if we'd be imposing.

>>34259457
Put it on.

>>34259488

You nod in thanks and look down at the hoop, it's got a clasp to hold it shut that you undo as you move it towards your leg. It snaps over your thin shin and drops till it hits your foot. Suddenly everything is different, but only subtly so, Phi seems to glow slightly and despite only being told their location vaguely and not knowing the city, you could swear you knew where El and Tristan were. Your eyes go wide and you look over the edge of the belltower in their direction.

"Noticed that really quickly," Phi smirks at you, pulling her dagger out, "this is how Scions find each other, we can feel where each other are so that we can fight, or in our case, co-ordinate."

You nod, that's pretty simple to understand. You're sure it's simple to understand because you got it while thinking about her boobs..there was a question attached to the boobs but you forget what it was about and move on to the next one

"Should I talk to Kino now?"

"Kino will probably talk to you soon about other stuff but right now, it's almost sun up and we've got to get your stuff back before the city's flooded with civilians. We can go anywhere in the city, a tavern, a guard tower, the prison, wherever you want, I don't really know where we should start looking.

>>34259633
Hmmm, well they're most likely to be at the prison but returning there is risky. Alternatively, if we got caught by someone other than the guard they might have it. Ask her what she thinks.

>>34259633
Ask her if others can sense her if she doesn't have the jewelry on.

>>34259702

"What do you think we should do? you know more about what you can do than me." you say, rubbing your wing on your head in thought.

"I think we should just go to the prison, wreck some stuff and then scarper, but then I overestimate myself all the time."

>>34259633
> guard tower

"I'd rather not go back to the prison. Do you thing they'd keep items in the guard towers?"

>>34259715

"Can other scions feel me if I don't have my mark?"

Phi nods, removing her necklace to prove her point, true enough she still seems subtly glowy

>>34259746
Alright, I vote we try the prison then, I'm sure we can manage it.

>>34259746
Should we meet up with the other two?

>>34259751

"I don't think we should go to the prison, we'd probably die," you say honestly, stepping away from the edge of the tower, "what about the guard towers? they might have it in one of those."

She nods, "Yeah, or they might have a guard in them who might know where your stuff is, you were the talk of the town, after all."

She points to the nearest tower, it's only really a 3 story building and doesn't look like it could hold more than 15 guards, 8 if they want comfort. "There are only six towers, there are other guard buildings but only the towers have loot chests in 'em, believe me, I know. We've got Docks south, Docks north, West gate, North gate, Castle gate and Merchant, which is that one."

>>34259840

"Should we meet up with Tristan and Elric? they can help."

"I put them in a pub for a reason, we need stealth for at least part of this and neither El nor Tristan seem like they'd be good at sneaking, but if you want them with us we can get them."

>>34259833
>>34259751

(Consensus?)

>>34259905
>>34259949

Forward to the tower!
Loot chest await us.

>>34259985

(Which tower do we think is best?)

>>34260011
Well we know approximately where we were detained, right? Whichever tower's closest. Alternatively if we were brought to a tower, obviously that one, but probably too easy.

>>34260011

Which ever tower matches the way we probably would have entered the city.

We do remember which way we came from, right?

>>34260032

You think really hard about where you were in the city before you woke up in the prison. You were in an inn near the docks as you'd flown in from an island to the east, though whether you'd be closer to north or south you wouldn't know

>>34259985
Loot chests
Look at chests

>>34260092

You're not close enough to any chests you can 'loot' but you stare at Phi's cleavage as you think, she notices, she smirks at you, you aren't sure if that's amused pity or not. "So, where are we going?"

>>34260069
Hmmm, let's check south docks, then north.
Also
>>34260092
Touch chest.

>>34260119

My things are probably still at the Docks. Let's try the South Tower first!"

Also, let's strike a ridiculous pose as we say so.

>>34260069
Let's try the north.

>>34260128
>>34260156

You reach a conclusion and spin around, putting one foot up on the ledge of the glassless window opening and pointing with one wing to the south of the docks area.

"I got here at the docks so when I got caught I'd have been taken to one of the towers there, lets go to the south one first!" you grin, lifting your other wing up to make your pose complete. As you do it just so happens your wing slides it's way over Phi's chest

She doesn't react other than tossing her dagger off into the distance.

>>34260225

Phi steps forwards, grabs your shoulder with one hand and uses the other to give your backside a swat. "Don't get too touchy, now."

You'd retort but the purple smoke teleport thing happens for the umpteenth time today and you're suddenly standing on a tall roof. You can see people wandering around on the streets beneath but you're poofing away again before you can get a good look at any of them.

You are now standing in an alleyway, directly opposite the building you plan to steal your stuff from.

Time to start looking around

>>34260291
HMMMMMMM

>>34260280

It's early morning, so only two light sources are visible through the building's windows. both from the top floor.

"How are we going to do this then, Bird brain, it's your stuff so you're in charge."

>>34260351
Let's fly up and look through the windows, see what's in there. Also ask if she can pick locks or if we have to find keys/alternate entries.

>>34260351
Maybe she can go in and scout and leave the dagger here with us so she can teleport back.

A harpy courier?

Like this?

>>34260351
Can we carry her weight while flying? Maybe go to the top and work our way down.

>>34260388

(Would have started using that picture if she wasn't already green because it fits really well)

>>34260388
Yeah, should be.

>>34260367
>>34260389
>Flying up a guard tower

Won't that just lead to us being instantly seen?

>>34260407
We won't complain about the ret-con if you don't

>>34260367
>>34260383
>>34260389

You provide her with a few alternatives, asking which was best and, more importantly, what weight she was.

"I think we needn't worry about flying up, I can teleport us up there if you want to go top down. If you want me to go in then that's fine but I don't know about leaving you here in the open and I don't think it's smart for you to fly up, people will see you for sure. And I'm light enough, thanks. maybe not for carrying but I'm as light as I'm going to be without being as flat as you."

>>34260407
Photoshop it.

>>34260434

(Tell you what, magical disguise! we're a wanted felon now so changing our appearance would be smart. We'll do this IC dammit.)

>>34260464
Stupid boob-demon should mind her own business.
Ask her to 'port us to the top.

>>34260464

"Then the front door is it!"

Also,
"I'll have you know that a small chest is a status symbol!"

>>34260464
I guess we can teleport to the top then.

>>34260434
>We won't complain about the ret-con if you don't

Speak for yourself, faglord. I don't like retcons.

>>34260523

>Implying you would have know she was green if BB hadn't just said it.

Too bad your an idiot not worth considering.

>>34260547
>your

Too bad you failed elementary school.

>>34260523
>>34260502

"Lets go in from the top, we have the advantage then because we can't get surrounded if more guards come," you say, surprisingly knowing about this kind of stuff for a postman.

Without a word Phi tosses her dagger up to the flat roof underarm, it's a good throw, and teleports you both up there. She places her finger on her lips and signals you to peak down into one of the windows as she gets out her razor. Shit is on. Though now that it is on you can't be all offended and sassy about boob sizes until it's off.

>>34260642
We can save it for later, that boob-sass isn't going unanswered.
Let's keep it stealthy for now, maybe we can interrogate a random guard about where they keep the confiscated stuff.

>>34260642
Look around for an entrance near you.

>>34260665

The only entrances are the door and the windows you're currently being told to look through. No trap doors of any kind

>>34260642

You move carefully over to the edge of the roof, lay down and dangle your head down to look through the nearest window. There are two guards sitting at a table, one is drinking and the other is playing cards with himself, neither notice you and both are turned away from you. You scoot over to relay this information to Phi.

"How do you feel about killing innocent guards?" she asks in return for the information

>>34260862
Bad, but...we do need that courier bag.

>>34260862

"Not sure what you mean by "innocent", but I'd rather not."

>>34260895

(It's got letters for a king in it, probably important but we could leave with out it and risk national security)

>>34260862
"I'd rather try to find the bag without engaging any guards..."

>>34260862

Sing to the guards. Attempt to play your feminine wiles to your advantage.

They won't question it, the drunk fucks.

Meanwhile, check the room for something you can backstab them with.

You bitch.

>>34260960
>>34260916

She sighs dramatically but quietly and moves to the edge of the roof . "Fine, then what do we do? go back down? we could try and distract them or something..or..you know, kill them!, it'd be SO easy..so easy."

>>34260991
(Seems like a strong idea, do we want to try and charm the guards?)

>>34261067
no we just escaped guards getting seen by them is a BAD idea

>>34261023
So there's no way in from the roof without entering the room?
How about we just make a distraction? Get Phi to do something noisy or whatever outside the tower then port up, enter when the guards go to check it out.

>>34261128
>>34261151

One guard is drunk as shit. Perhaps we can throw something at his head while the other is distracted with his cards, and goad them into a fight which will allow us to sneak past.

>>34261151

(That is also a good idea, but requires haste if we don't want to get caught)

>>34261151
>>34261177
Both good but preclude one-another. Let's ask Phi which she thinks is more reasonable.

>>34261151
Backing this
.
>>34261243

We're a harpy messenger and a toad thief.
Haste is what we do.

>>34261260

You figure it's probably easiest to get Phi to do some distracting but ask if she thinks singing is a good idea so she doesn't think you think she's expendable. She thinks it's not a great idea lest you fail to sing powerfully enough.

She agrees that she should cause an issue at floor level and says she has an idea.

"You trust me or do you want to come up with the plan?"

>>34261330
Trust her.

>>34261330
Let's trust.
Also gotta go sleep, thanks for running.

>>34261330

"You're the thief torpedo tits. Watcha' got?"

>>34261375
>>34261383
>>34261385

"You should probably do the planning, you're the thief, after all," you whisper, you'd make a comment about her boobs but she's only a B and it's really not worth it.

She smiles to you and tosses the dagger to the ground to teleport down safely. She holds up her fingers and lowers each one in a count down to whatever she was doing. She didn't tell you so you aren't sure what to do.

She reaches zero and throws her dagger back up, easily tossing it through the thin window of the guard's tower. After a few seconds one of the guard's sticks their head out and a few more windows light up.

"OI!" she yells up at him, "You don't know where your sister's got to? we were supposed to have another rendezvous tonight~"

After much swearing and a few seconds several guard burst through the front door to see the already fleeing Frog trotting off which a cackle, actually running slow so that they start to chase without giving up.

>>34261483
Sneak in while they're gone.

>>34261483
Let's enter and start searching.

how about this?

>>34261587

You take that rather brazen display as the cue you were told about and do what you assume was the plan. You jump from the roof and with one powerful thrust push yourself up through the broken window, just managing to pull you wings and feet up away from the broken glass by a feather. You land in the room safely. You are alone and the dagger is on the floor.

You don't know if the rest of the building is empty but you quickly scan the room, it's got lots of ledgers and one big chest in it, score?

>>34261618

(Her face is a little bit scary, we're still cool with potentially a trap harpy pic for now)

>>34261663
Check the chest first, then thumb through the ledgers fast.

>>34261663
check for our stuff anywhere our stuff could fit

>>34261663

Pop the chest. Time to loot.

>>34261715
>>34261760

You attempt to open the chest but it's locked, as expected.

>>34261784

Rolled 13 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>34261784

>>34261793

Without wasting any time you scan the room for any sign of a key. It's not visible at first so you duck down to start looking on the underside of things. You find the key threaded through a small leather strip nailed to the underside of the table, probably there specifically to keep the key on.

You thank Kino (as you think you should get into the habbit of doing it,) and snatch the key. You open the chest just as a purple poof heralds the return of Phi who is, thankfully, not bloody.

"Cool, we got stuff?"

"YES!"

(1/2)

>>34261868

Sitting in a neat bundle are all of your belonings, Your Clawdirks, your clothes, and your bag which, when you check, has both your gold and the letters in, seals unbroken.

Phi puts all of your stuff in her bag except for your satchel which you slide on and the two of you smile at each other, a lot of luck and some amazing running away made the least organised heist in the world work out surprisingly well.

Shame the guards are coming back
