You get up, pacing the room a tad faster than you were before. You can feel beginnings of panic coloring your thoughts, and endeavor to suppress that natural urge to act on impulse rather than logic. It is only with great difficulty that you calm yourself enough to take a seat once more, this time on your bed rather than on the floor. You decide to just slip into a trance and think of all the evidence you've gathered so far, turn the situation over in your head. Hopefully that will shed some light on the situation.

You fold your legs beneath you and slip into your trance. You start off by merely collecting all that you know about the situation, starting with both of your visits by that strange entity and the Three's seeming inability or unwillingness to comment on the nature of the cloak. Then you begin to collect details regarding the death of the previous Shah. The discovery of the shipwreck and Kadir's reaction to the news. The discovery of his corpse, drowned and half eaten but otherwise unharmed, on the Island. You recall what you heard in the control tower, that they were looking for the Shahzada on behalf of their 'client'. You imagine that could only be Kadir.

You think on what it really means to kill a Shah. To kill a man. Does it mean ending his life, or merely destroying all that he is? Could there be some other, more esoteric, meaning that escapes you? Why on Earth would the life of the Shah be important to a void creature to begin with, unless they had some vested interest in destabilizing the region? You're almost certain that will be the result. Knowing what you do of the Shahzadi, the one in line for the throne after Kadir, she's a ruthless ideologue. More of a warrior than a ruler. You've no doubt her rule would mean misery for the entire Shahdom, even if what she seeks might be an objective good.

You all now realize that in order to create AIs, the guy who made Fulvia had to literally put a portion of his soul into them.

>>35846775
Or his wives.

That thought leads you to another. Who has the most to gain from the Shah's death? Your first instinct is to say the next in line to the throne. Considering her reputation for ruthlessness, you've no doubt that she would stoop as low as kinslaying. While many of the Shah's advisors and courtiers would be in a prime position to plot his death and while you're sure many would stoop so low, the previous Shah was well loved. Everyone assumed his rule would stretch on for at least a hundred more years, perhaps even two or three depending on his health. You'd even go so far as to say he was beloved. In your mind, none but Shahzadi Shahnaz could be the culprit.

If she is the one most invested in the current Shah's death, that brings you to the question of why that envoy was holding the golden orb of a soul between its hands, and that is indeed what you believe those golden orbs to be. It's curious to note that your dragon's soul was red, where as the portions of soul placed within artifacts was blue. You wonder what the significance of that might be, some sort of transmutation?

You force yourself back on topic. Why might the void creature grasp in its hands a soul? Was it yours? Unlikely. Were you without a soul, you'd be an emotionless husk certainly. You think back on your first meeting with Shahzadi Shahnaz. She stared straight ahead, didn't even acknowledge your existence. She seemed a artificial thing, unintelligent. Could she have really sacrificed her soul to ensure the success of her plans? Where would she have found the knowledge? You didn't even know the soul had a physical, or at least metaphysical, representation until but moments ago.

This finally brings you back to the original topic, what is it that this void creature wishes of you? To kill the Shah of course, but is it a request, a prophesy, or a command? Personally, you're inclined to believe it a command. A command that the creature is able to leverage you into performing due to the reliance you've built up on the cloak. After all, you lived for almost twenty-seven years now without every seeing massive void creatures of ominous appearance. Of course, an insignificant time in comparison to many of your contemporaries, but you believe it important none the less. This isn't simply something normal that happens, and it only began after you got the cloak from those three strange beings which seem so interested in causing trouble for you, even if they have saved your ass in the past.

You couldn't say what the consequences might be for disobeying the creature's command. Perhaps you'll lose access to the belongings inside your cloak? Perhaps your mind will be filled with endless, hellish screeching until you're eventually reduced to a gibbering pile of insanity? You're not entirely certain you'd like to find out, but at the same time you don't think you want to kill the Shah. Asshole though he may be, he doesn't seem completely irredeemable. Even if it physically pains you to admit that. Just how much wiggle room do you have?

Here's the plan.
Step 1: Meditate RIGHT NOW on nature magic using the dragon staff
Step 2: heart stop on the Shah
Step 3: within 3 minutes, enter his room with Fulvia, restart his heart
Step 4: say we sensed him dying with NATURE MAGIC, through HAPPENSTANCE

There are so many ways that this could go wrong, but it could also go so right.
And god damnit I want to meditate on nature magic so much

>>35846811
>Perhaps... merely stopping his heart for a time would be enough? Fulvia has the power to correct such brief interruptions in life.

The cloak is 'The Clever Choice' so weaseling your way out of obligations and twisting the spirit of demands seems par for the course. It could even have been a hint by the stooges way back when... that's probably giving them too much credit though.

>>35846917
Yeah, back up plans are good things indeed. Prepare the carriage and get our companions up.

>>35846784
I wonder, could that be what Fulvia didn't want us to see, and wants to deny herself? That she isn't really her own entity, but a pale image of someone else?

Also, >>35846811

>Perhaps... merely stopping his heart for a time would be enough? Fulvia has the power to correct such brief interruptions in life.

Boots and a Ring. Boots gave you speed but drained life force, ring let you kill anyone but it had a similar price that I can't recall the specifics of.

Looks like we're going with the clever choice.

I'll give you a few minutes to discuss a plan. Things to ask yourselves: how will you explain away that you know the Shah is dying? How will you 'kill' the Shah in the first place? How will you justify bringing Fulvia in with you? Anything else you think might be relevant. Should you prepare a contingency plan by emptying your cloak and preparing the carriage?

If you didn't notice, he is sad about this, but a deal is a deal man.

>>35847014
What did the stooges call them? The cloak was the smart choice right?

>>35847028
Incorporeality potion last for thirty minutes, right? How long after the heart stops can Fulvia revive someone?

>>35847028
...should we be involving Mortia in this? She's got lots of potions and poison shit. We could either sneak or incorporeal-potion into his quarters to deliver the brew. Then we could try to find a way to magic Robutt into the room.

>>35847028
>how will you explain away that you know the Shah is dying?
Haha! Nature magic!

What we can actually do is reveal the scrying artifact. We can tell our companions the Varistha gave it to us and lie to the monks, saying it's a Rhynian thing.

>>35847028
Clever isn't a downgrade from intelligence, it's just specing into the sneaky cunning side of intelligence isn't it?

Does that one thing doctors do(the chilling the blood thing) count as dying? Someone look up the classifications of death, I know they have a code for this, we need to make him match all of them

>>35847052
IRL brain damage can happen (in a worst case scenario) after 3 minutes without oxygen. As long as we put his heart into a state of asystole, a defibrillator has a chance of working without any lasting side effects before 3 minutes, and for some time afterwards.

So what is the battle plan people, soma is waiting.

Better idea. Let's get some shit from the randy old lady. I bet she's got loads more knowledge with the local plants and a few midnight specials already brewed up. If you really want to keep this under wraps, we've still got that Apothecary book. Might be worth shot to give it to Mortia.

>>35847014
>Boots never stop walking, once you put them you'd walk forever without resting, ever.
>Ring took the soul of those we'd slain, their voices would ring into our head until you go mad.

>>35847052
Incorporeality does last for 30 minutes. Fulvia can revive someone up to 10 minutes after their heart stops.

>>35847057
Mortia or Ghadi would be the ones you wished to consult if the poison route was what you wanted.

>>35847061
Basically, I picked it after y'all picked the cloak since the cloak is basically sneaky-sneak: the artifact.

>>35847076
I have hope.

>>35847028
We can explain knowing that the Shah is dying by having our staff prepared, saying we were experimenting with it when we saw someones life blink out, so we just brought Fulvia with us there because we're FACTUALLY familiar with dying this way and have been brought back before.

As for killing him we wait until the incorp potion is in its later eighth of time remaining and then freeze his heart, then unfreeze it, fly back to our room dress up and then seek the Shahs room.

Yes to preparing the carriage and emptying the cloak.

>>35847028
First we need a 15 minute timer of some sort (maybe manipulate on an hourglass?) and we need to get Fulvia on board. Second we take preliminary preparations so we can slip into our clothes etc easily after becoming corporeal. Third we take he potion after making sure everything is set up and Fulvia is on standby, we then wait until we have something like 3 minutes left of the potion. Then we go do the heart stop trick on Kadir. Let's pray Nature vatis don't notice us. Once Kadir's heart is stopped we zip back to the room and wait to become corporeal. Then we put on our clothes/brooch and grab our staff and rush to Kadir's quarters, telling Fulvia to accompany us via brooch. That's what I can think up anyway.

>>35847088
You mean where they put you into a hypothermia induced coma? Probably, but if I remember right it's dangerous as all hell

>>35846793

>>35847121
How long now soma? We must do it on the appointed time. Just like that ceenturion armour, just in case

>>35847028
Why don't we see if the broaches we got from Ricky can work with our system, and if so give one to the Shah? We can say that we heard the Pirates talking about their "client" and that he's in danger from assassination and we want to protect him.

Then, we can poison him, say we heard him cry out over the broach, and run to the rescue. Also, we can frame the chica next in line.

>>35847135
Three hours, twenty-three minutes, forty-six seconds.

>>35847028
If Fulvia is going to revive him, that assumes his heart stopped. Poison won't work (effect last too long). Might use something the weakens it without stopping it. We would need some way to stop his heart.. an electric shock? a strong thump on the chest? excessive fear?

>Should you prepare a contingency plan by emptying your cloak and preparing the carriage?
Definitely, on both counts.

>>35847107
>>35847099
Change 15 to 30 then. If it were possible to use manipulate to simply stop his heart from beating that'd be great. Or literally drown him in wine with water magic. We'll need to stay solid if we want to use poison I think.

>>35847158
Just freeze his heart.

>>35847158
I think we're underestimating how much shit we got in the cloak. Like there's not enough room in our room for it IIRC.

>>35847158
>spooking him to death
Oh god yes please, doesn't our cloak make us look spooky as hell? Dress up in centurion armor with the cloak, smear ourself in blood and spook him to death. Then fix him.

>>35847184
We'll be stuffing our carriage.

>>35847196
That means we'll have to physically get around the guards guarding his room. Nah.

>>35847196
...can we store Fulvia in the cloak without it messing up her generator? Because if so we could have a literal pocket healer for this.

*Atrocious Oud Player: You get a -4 modifier on rolls to play the oud, and don't gain any benefits from high quality instruments.

>>35847181

>>35847158
> Poison won't work (effect last too long)

This is not true. Specific poisons can do different things.


But overall, I'm in favour of either Electric Shock or Carotid massage, something like that.

Slip painkillers in his drink.

>>35847223
Holy shit, this is a great idea! We can just remove her core before and use the Rhynian Centurion enhanced strength to maneuver her out. Can we try this?

>>35847252
Requires us to be physically present in his room.

>>35847231
>>35847149
Forgot to link.
Also didn't we get lessons to ease the affects?

>>35847212
That will take a while and probably draw attention to ourselves which we don't want to do. Lets just take the more valuable stuff out of it and keep it in the room that way we can say we were meditating on the various magical crap we have along with the staff.

>>35847270
>the Rhynian Centurion enhanced strength to maneuver her out.
No need to do that, when we do the magic trick stuff.

>>35847223
>Putting Fulvia in the cloak
Yes lets do this.

>>35847270
And we have the ring as an excuse to get in, If kill him then fix him before leaving, no one will know.

So it seems like
>>35847107
Is a pretty good summation of the general plan. I'll start writing for this, assuming no outpouring of dissent.

>>35847270
>>35847223
You could stick 'er in the cloak without removing her core. Keep in mind, you'll need to come back to the room to retrieve your cloak. It doesn't stick to you when you're incorporeal.

Possiblity: Have Mortia whip us up a contact poison that causes the heart to stop. Put on full armor and go to Shah's room, with Fulvia coming as an escort. Hand over ring while telling him his father is dead. When he has a heart attack, use fire magic to burn off any residual poison from ring while Fulvia resuscitates him. Play it off that the shock of hearing that his father died cause his ticker to fail.

WAIT GUYS!

Remember those poison glands we got? I just remembered that Chrys told us they paralyzed the victim starting with the limbs and eventually stopped the heart.

>>35847298
We can play it up too! Say we found on his father as he lay dying and that he entrusted it along with his dying words to one and only heir, and that its imperative we speak to the new Shah alone. Then, when we've got him cloistered, BOOM! Cardiac arrest!

>>35846793

I have to tell you, Soma, I reread the part where we rescued the princess, and that really didn't match the impression I got at the time. Particularly the part where,

>She seems to soften at the mention of family.

and

>To which the Shahzadi responds by slapping him in the arm childishly.

>>35847270
No don't take out her core, I want Ricky to make a friend that wasn't his food once.

>>35847305
Last we checked, she still wasn't familiar with the local fauna. We should have mentioned there was someone in town that she could have talked to about that sort of thing.

>>35847330
Holy. Fuck. Finally a use for these.

We should totally talk to the Shah after about how the pirates had a "client" btw, so that people won't suspect us but instead look for whoever was dealing with the pirates.

>>35847428
That's blood, but the answer is because it's the best pic I could find for the image in my head.

So, are y'all using the poison/venom glands (getting Mortia to concentrate the poison contained within?) or going with the ole' heart-freezing route?

>>35847445
It's not really needed though. We can just freeze his heart down to a stop to "kill him" then unfreeze it. If it doesn't start up we'll be on our way with Fulvia. Poison would just complicate things.

Guys if the Shah is conscious he will know we are freezing his fucking heart. We'll be in the room with him and he'll assume it is us. Then once we revive him he'll try and have us killed. Do it in ghost form or don't do the heart freeze.

No real downside to heart freezing I can see. We'll just have to make sure we don't let the cold from the ice lower his body temp too low.

>>Attempt to talk your way into the Shah's quarters, using the ring as an excuse.

>>35847551
The problem is getting the poison to him when we're nowhere near him. Nobody can trace it back to us if we kill him ethereally, and if we're the last one in the room before he bucks it its eyes on us. It's very poorly thought out. Getting the poison to him and IN him while incorporeal would involve manipulation out the ass, when there's tons of vatis around.

Please let the Shah be too struck by grief to figure out we're the ones killing him, since we're apparently going to be the only person there.

Can we at least pick an appropriate time to do it so that it seems to him like he's just heartbroken or something?

This shouldn't have been a dual vote I think. Can we clarify? I wanted poison and in person, but if we're freezing his heart we'd have to do it while incorporeal, it's only logical.

How 2 kill pirates: Potion + Magic.
How 2 kill Shah, clever version: Potion + Magic.

There is a reason the price was so high and the quantity we could buy so low. This isn't clever. Its like saying shooting someone from a long distance is clever because they would never see it coming. Not saying it is ineffective or that I could come up with a better way to do this stuff.

>>35848158
We're killing him then reviving him once the deadline has passed. Reviving him beforehand would be pointless, we'd still be bound by the contract.

>>35848155
That's correct but that's also its purpose. It's unintelligent to use the means we have to circumvent unnecessary difficulties. It's more logical thinking than clever, even.

That's what this entire thing is anyways, to circumvent actually killing the Shah forever we kill him for a little bit.

Which is why we would go to warn him of assassins in the ranks. I mean, maybe it's too shadow-run, but then we could save his life and blame it on the people who saw to it that the Shah was captured. Has the advantage of there ACTUALLY being assassins to take the blame.

You come to a decision. You'll cheat the system. You'll kill the Shah without him dying. A paradox? Perhaps for lesser minds, or those without your resources and companions. With Fulvia's help, satisfying that strange void creature ought to be as easy as stopping his heart for a few minutes. Then you can simply have her restart his heart, as she's done for you in the past. Done and done.

You reach out for the woman herself via the brooches. {Fulvia, I've a secret to tell you.}

Her response is curious. {Does it relate to the dragon?}

You snap open your eyes, glancing towards the still-sleeping form of your adoptive child. How long is this thing going to sleep? It's been ten hours now, almost. {More important than the dragon.}

You hear Fulvia scoff, a vocalization you find intensely odd to hear telepathically. {Nonsense. What could be more important than a dragon?}

You sigh, preparing yourself mentally to confess your secret. {Allow me to preface this by saying; you may never tell anyone of what I am about to say. That is a direct order. Now then, I've been contracted by a strange entity which I believe to originate in the void to kill Shah Kadir. It came to me for the first time in a dream I had in the mines beneath Longia. It since arrived in my dreams only a few hours ago to tell me I had seven hours remaining. I've spent around four of those seven hours in meditation trying to decide how I shall face this challenge.}

You pause to collect your thoughts. {To be brief, I've decided to screw the spirit over. In more detail, I intend to only fulfill the letter of its demand rather than the spirit. I recall that you're able to revive the dead, correct?}

Fulvia's response is as prompt as always and all sense of levity has left her tone. She is strictly professional. {Within a ten minute time frame after cardiac arrest I may restart the heart. However, I cannot guarantee that this will not leave permanent damage on the affected individual.}
(1/3)

You nod, a useless gesture, before continuing. {Great, great. That will work for my purposes. What I propose is thus. I will imbibe a potion which will make me incorporeal for a set period. I'll wait until this period is about to expire, then rush in and stop the Shah's heart. Then I will return to my room and let the rest of the time on my potion run out. Once I'm corporeal again I will dress myself quickly and contact you via the brooches. Together, we will rush to the Shahzada's room and claim we detected his life signs snuffed out, at which point you will restart his heart.}

Fulvia takes some time before her response. {You will explain your sudden skill in Nature magic as the influence of the staff, I presume?} You respond in the affirmative. {Then I believe this plan has a fair chance at success. You will need to be careful to avoid prying eyes, but I do not believe that will be too difficult. I will leave preparations to you, but feel free to contact me if you desire advice.} A pause. {This will, of course, stay between you and I.} You think you might detect a little pride in that last line, but don't bring it up.

Instead, you sever the connection and push yourself to your feet. You withdraw your Dragon Staff and your vial of Incorporeality potion, placing the latter upon your desk and the former upon your bed. However, something seems to have roused your adoptive child, because it throws back the blanket covering it with surprising fervor. You note that the milky white film over its eyes slide back, revealing crimson red irises surrounded by black sclera. As it blinks, the film slides over its eyes first and then its eyelids proper after them. Seems it's got two sets of eyelids.

It focuses on the Dragon Staff, stalking its way towards the length of metal and wood. Specifically the turquoise teardrop sheltered within the wings of the dragon. You pick up traces of curiosity, mixed with disgust and fear. You can't help but wonder why on Earth such a simple artifact would cause it worry.

We'll just get it out when it's time, and say we had a bad feeling and checked with the staff for life signs.

>>35848522
You think someone jammed a dragon soul into the staff? Half cost nature magic does seem dragon soul level

>>35848503
>Try to soothe it, while expressing curiosity at it's interest/reaction to the staff. Then shove the staff in the cloak.

>Sooth dragon.
Tippity tap tap typin'

>>35848503
We should go into permanency mode for a moment and see what the dragon staff looks like.

>>35848503
>Try to sooth it, send it generally positive emotions and pet its side with a hand wreathed in flame.
>Grab the staff and stuff it back in the cloak, not worth the trouble.

I don't see how they are mutually exclusive. When we turn back to corporeality we'll be in our room and can just take the staff out of our cloak then..

Its way to late but how do ya'll think this would have worked out. Use metal magic to form a groove in the interior of the ring, fill it with plant poison, cover it with a thin layer of metal. Give ring to Shah, wait until he had passed back out, shift the layer above the poison away. Let the poison stop his heart then rush to revive him. Use that same Nature staff excuse for how we knew he was in trouble.

>>35848159
That could be really cool, I wonder if stuffing a part of our soul into something and animating it would let us have an instinctive connection to it, maybe even a direct link to its consciousness with which we could command it with thoughts.
>>35848607
Okay Soma, there's obviously a dragon soul in the staff, right? I mean, Mik should realize this, he knows different souls have idfferent colorations and are easily distinguishable. Or has he not yet realized that their color is decided by what they are? Enchantments are blue people(or at least samja) are yellow, while fire dragons are red.
I wonder what our party looks like in soul vision.

>>35848591
It really doesn't seem like dragon soul level. Remember no one has seen dragons for several millennia, and they're incredibly potent vatis. The guy we talked to about this staff didn't seem to mind parting with it.
It's probably just made out of some dragon bits.
Looks to me like dragon bone.
A really small one.

>>35848632
It still has "The Shah was injured a time after Mikael arrived" in its details. Means its kinda a dead plan.

>>35848632
I don't think we're good enough with metal to do that anyway, and seems needlessly complicated.
I still don't understand why we didn't just use manipulate to bring the cloak or poison with us while incorporeal if people really wanted to use the potion.
Also, I would have suggested sitting down and talking with him once we revive him. Tell him we're Mik, and even we say he should take the throne and strive to make his father proud.

>>35848655
>I still don't understand why we didn't just use manipulate to bring the cloak or poison with us while incorporeal if people really wanted to use the potion.
Because we will be walking through walls.

>>35848635
I think we'll have to experiment.

>>35848655
>Also, I would have suggested sitting down and talking with him once we revive him. Tell him we're Mik,
That's stupid even by Mik's standards.

>>35848635
Humans are probably blue, the Rhynian stuff probably had bits of Rhynian people's souls in them, and most of them were human.
SK's soul is barely visible.
Elves are probably green because Samjani are dragon-elves and red+green = yellow. Souls totally work this way.
Fulvia's core is probably blue.
Mortia's soul is probably a bit jacked up.
Darzi is probably yellow.
Ricky's soul is the rainbow

>>35848651
You think people here have tha ability to tell WHEN someone was injured/died to the minute?
>>35848646
Our baby was interested in the blue gem on top though. We should deal with that sometime too. Meditate on it. We should actually just start meditating on all the bullshit we're in.
>>35848675
The poison gland is like a couple cm in diameter, we could have totally sneaked it in through cracks and shit while keeping it out of sight.
>>35848683
We're the guy who went alone to the pirates, brought back the Shah's ring, killed the pirates, and now saved his life even though we were banished, and telling him to man up. I think in his state he should be receptive to this kind of bullshit.
>>35848689
I thought human=blue too but then the blanket we made was also blue, so that theory goes out the window.

>>35848683
There is historical precedent for someone being unbanished after saving the Shah's life.

>>35848689
>red+green=yellow
What are you smoking?

>>35848710
>You think people here have tha ability to tell WHEN someone was injured/died to the minute?

I think his guards have the common sense to put 2 & 2 together when after the delivery of the ring and his subsequent attempt to wear it incurs a death-like state.

>>35848710
The blanket was blue? Shit, I guess I didn't see that. There goes all my soul color related ideas

>>35848710
>we could have totally sneaked it in through cracks and shit while keeping it out of sight
How the fuck will you sneak it into other side of a solid wall? You are getting dumber anon.
>We're ... and telling him to man up. I think in his state he should be receptive to this kind of bullshit.
And naive too. On the contrary, he will probably look for someone to take out his anger and grief on.

>>35848710
The process of your idea would be this, we deliver the ring to the shah, the shah experiences complications, we come back to save the shah.
And you don't see the logical gaps of this?

Fuck it. We're wall drifting, freezing & reviving, so let it go. Let's just make sure we kill him at the right time now.

>>35848712
Pretty sure it doesn't count if you were the one who killed him first.

Couldn't have put it better myself

>mfw the spirit only lets us get away with this this one time
>mfw the next Contractor includes someone who is not even local

>>35848722
That's assuming the guards didn't let us go in alone.
>>35848737
>how
Levitate it around the wall and get it in through windows? It's not that complicated, we could even make earth magic tunnels for it ffs.
>>35848746
Obviously if we delivered the ring in person then anon's plan to do poison+ring wouldn't work, but that's not what my plan was either, just go in with the ring, freeze his heart/posion him before he sees us, then act like we just found him dead, and revive him with Fulvia who we either run for or is with us.

>>35848759
No. That's not how colors work.
Red and green make brown

Soma, when was Mik's first meeting with Shahzadi Shahnaz?

>>35848765
But our plan is so sneaky that nobody will even know that we killed him.

>>35848774
>tfw it asks for the admiral back on SK's world as punishment

>>35848781
Oh you poor anon, do you still believe in the old color circle thing? That's not how the world actually works, you know.

>>35848774
Or maybe it'll find this hysterical and keep giving us really important contracts so that we find some way to fuck them up.

>>35848781
No.
Red pigment + green pigment = brown pigment.
Red light + green light = yellow light

>>35848783
I think that was when we emerged from the portal in the cellar in El-Amin

>>35848774
That'd be pretty stupid, presumably it has some actual incentive to ask us to kill people, therefor it'd be in its best interest to makeit possible for us to carry it out.

>>35848798
Nothing is worth going back to Namek

>>35848798
You forget that the spirit dude is just the guy who gives us contracts? People sell their soul to the devil to get a nigga killed, we are the guy who kills them. He will probably laugh his ass off because he stil gets the soul and kadir isn't even dead

>>35848811
Depends if it's incentive is to actually kill the people,. or just fulfill it's own contract. In which case, hey, the guy died. So we good.

Damn, have we tried talking to Ricky about this freaky bitch yet?

>>35848778
>act like we just found him dead

...After we're in the room with him? Past the guards and such, which would find us in his room butt naked? It's such a needless complication that does nothing. It's like you're just proposing bad ideas for the sake of it.
You're just a fountain of poorly thought out half baked shit.

>>35848815
Cloak lovers won't, but I agree with you. Namek was hell.
I wouldn't even go back for invisibility suits or levitation boots.

>>35848815
If it supplied us with a way in and a way back, I wouldn't mind.
I doubt Soma would do it though, he knows how much we hate that place.

>>35848828
>butt naked
Are you fucking kidding? I just told you in this case we'd be going there in person, therefor clothed up, corporeal, and got through the guards. I think you're twisting my words just to be against me now.
Do I need to greentext the plan in detail for you?

>>35848805
Who says souls dont work in the pigment system
Who says souls don't work on the light system
Who says banished land colors are like ours
Who says souls give a shit about anything color related and don't just do what they
Who says they aren't a karma color system
Who say humanoid souls aren't just all golden yellow
Who says MAGIC I AINT GOTTA EXPLAIN SHIT

So, do you guys think one of the pirates was also contracted by the void messenger to kill the Shah, or did the Shahzadi contract them directly?

>>35848842
No you don't because we're not doing it. Why you even bothered suggesting it after the fact is anyone's guess.

I THINK WE SHOULD STOP DISCUSSING THE MERITS OF CORPOREAL VS NOT, SINCE IT HAS ALREADY BEEN DECIDED.

>>35848848
I bothered suggesting it because we were having a discussion and I expressed my opinion on the plan, the voting of which I unfortunately had to miss. And what if we aren't doing it, it's good to discuss our limits and options. God, I don't get why you're so angry.

>>35848842
Not that anon, but if you have a plan that you want to communicate to others its own you to explain it from the bottom up thoroughly, it's not up to anyone else to infer your particular perspective on everything.
Besides, this: >>35848852
