>>Ask how distant the next village is

You decide to do some advance scouting and ask around to see if you can earn some information from people who have more lay of the land than you do. You go bother some of your fellow travellers and merchants and find out that if you have a good gait you can reach the next village at nightfall, but you'll have to start early and be in good shape. Of course, more than one person assures you that you look in good shape enough, and you suspect at least one of them wasn't talking about your travelling prowess.

When you ask about the next village's name, you receive different answers. The majority of those in the common room aren't sure it has an official name yet, but some throw around the names of Palmfield and New Royo. Which just adds confusion and doesn't help you at all.

Still, it seems like yet another long walk awaits you tomorrow. Your feet feel a bit sore after a whole day of walking, but it's nothing you're not used to. Then again, you wonder if you'll really be okay doing this for a living and not having a roof to sleep under for several days in a row. Possibly for several weeks in a row. Especially considering it's supposed to rain a lot when the rain season begins.

"We will be okay if we move it", Luna concludes hearing your information, "Just work our legs like we did today and we will arrive in time".

"Well, I presume people from Palmfield... Or however it is really called, are used to receive visitors at odd hours all considered", Bryld notes as well, "But I'd rather sleep somewhere inside than outside, at least until I can help it".

You can't help but share her feeling.

>Ask your companions if they saw Pyorindel around (and actually describe her)
>Call it a day and go to bed, you have plenty of walking to do
>Other?

>>36032387
>>Call it a day and go to bed, you have plenty of walking to do

>>36032387
>Ask your companions if they saw Pyorindel around (and actually describe her)
>Call it a day and go to bed, you have plenty of walking to do
Just got here!

>>36032387
>Call it a day and go to bed, you have plenty of walking to do

Before going to bed, you just have one thing you have to ask your companions: "Have you seen a woman around, about this tall, with a long red coat lined in white fur, fishnet stockings, long blond hair?".

It's the kind of description that doesn't fit a lot of individuals, and you would expect some ready answers. You get some odd looks instead, as if they're wondering what the heck you're talking about.

"Nope", Bryld goes, almost afraid she's missing something.
"No", is Luna's stern answer, staring at you like she's wondering what game you're playing at.
"Nuh-uh", adds Tahenohan, "Looks like an interesting fellow though, who is she?".

You're really not sure what to answer, and you feel it's time to hit the sack with everyone else and move to your own rooms.

The inn part of this caravansary is still relatively rough, and less complete than the kitchen and common room; evidently so. The bedrooms are but small, enclosed rooms with a window and a few thin mattresses spread about. There's enough for everyone, but you were a lot more comfortable at The Hairy Mermaid, and you always felt the bed there was a bit too small for you.

In the end you all manage to sleep soundly, if anything because you're really tired. You don't even need blankets because it's still warm at night, and when you wake up you do so out of reflex, used by now at being up as soon as the first lights of dawn seep in through the window in your room, no matter how groggy you're feeling.

You untangle yourself from Tahenohan as you get up and you notice that Bryld was lightly tugging on your clothes when she lets go as you get up. You also see, but mostly hear, Luna's leg kicking a bit while she's still asleep.

Once again, you're the first one awake, and you're not sure you're happy about it.

>Might as well just get breakfast
>Look around and see who else is leaving in your direction
>Take a brief walk outside to wake up properly
>Other?

>>36032532
>Look around and see who else is leaving in your direction
Then breakfast.

>>36032532
>Might as well just get breakfast
>Look around and see who else is leaving in your direction

>>36032532
>>Look around and see who else is leaving in your direction
Party up

>>36032532
>Might as well just get breakfast
>Look around and see who else is leaving in your direction
I know she's an Elf, but isn't Bryld giving us some looks for having her sleeping with us?

Once your brain surrenders to the idea that you're awake and you have to think and walk at the same time, you start wondering if you can't take advantage of the fact you're most likely not the only one that's going towards Palmfield or however that place is called.

It's still early enough that you don't expect many people to be leaving at dawn, but you have to admit you're a little surprised at how early work begins in a caravansary. Plenty of the wagons and caravans are being checked or loaded and there's more traffic than you'd expect, as if more than one person is taking advantage of daylight from the very moment it becomes available. You begin to suspect it's almost a necessity when your life, and most importantly your earnings, depend on long travels.

It takes just a few attempts at ordinary conversation (very difficult this early in the morning, but you quickly find out everyone else is pretty much in your shoes, so it works out) to find out that there's a whole young family getting ready to move in your exact same direction. It's a man, a woman and three small children who are going to settle down in this new world, apparently receiving some monetary benefit from participating to the Reconquista.

You wonder why in heck you never saw this wealthy part of the kingdom of Rune, nobody ever paid you to move somewhere else. This isn't very fair.

"If you're going that way, we can give you a passage", the woman answers, she's still sleepy, like her husband, but looks a little worse off, as if she is chronically devoid of sleep. Considering she's breastfeeding a toddler, it's not difficult to imagine what keeps her awake at night; good thing you were dead tired, you were so sound asleep you didn't hear its wailing.

Still, a passage is a passage.

posting some art Decu did of Lilith in his drawthread last night

>>36032724
WELP time to fap

>>36032724
Typical Decu making everything lewd just because he wants attention.
Also, it's Lillith, you twat.

>>36032724
Thank you, it's too early in the morning for me to think of renaming the picture again so I can upload it.

>>36032759
To be honest, I think Lillith was a bit of a typo. Besides, nothing to be angry about.

>>36032768
well the drawthread is still up so I just had to change a single pixel to get past the duplicate file filter

"Thank you", you give the woman a smile, "I'll inform the others and then we'll be right there". She returns your smile with one of her own, although you can't help but notice the man giving you an odd look as you move away, especially as your tail swings by when you turn around.

Going back to your fellows, you see that they have all woken up, to some extent or another, and are either stretching or dressing up again. Not that they took off much to begin with, just the outer, heavier layers of clothing to sleep more comfortably; while Luna and Bryld might be comfortable sleeping with each other, you notice right away that they still don't know neither you nor Tahenohan that well, and the way the half-elf instinctively crawled on you in her sleep might have made them a bit more cautious.

You wonder if they think the two of you are in a relationship. Considering the talk you had yesterday they probably don't have much to give them that idea, but then again Tahenohan is rather open about skinship, with little in the way of shame or common sense stopping her. It might give some misunderstandings.

You inform them that you have arranged for a passage with a young couple with three children who will gladly bring you there with their caravan. Bryld in particular seems to be rejoicing, "Oh, that's so good to hear! That means the first leg of our journey will be more comfortable. Isn't that right, Luna?".

The blondie from Yerles just gives a shrug as she finishes packing her stuff, "It is", she agrees. Which reminds you that once you arrive to Palmfield or whatever her journey is technically over. It'll be just you, Bryld and Tahenohan from there on.

Not that you'll never see Luna again, you will have to go back to Palmfield or whatever for the population census too.

>Grab breakfast and then depart for your journey!
>There's something else I need to do before leaving (what?)
>Other?

>>36032827
>Grab breakfast and then depart for your journey!
Wasn't much sold on Luna, she seems nice, but I like our bunny more.

>>36032827
>Grab breakfast and then depart for your journey!
Wonder if Bryld will sleep with us two when Luna's gone.

>>36032827
>Grab breakfast and then depart for your journey!

Breakfast consists in a thick, brown legume broth, but just from its peculiar, somewhat salty taste you can tell it was made with a ham bone, which gives it a thousand extra points. Plus, it's warm, filling and actually quite nutritious. You can't help but feel that there's been good food in your travel so far, better than you'd expect.

You all climb up on the back of the caravan and depart with the young couple. Inside, you see there's the bare necessities in terms of furniture and a couple crates full of what are probably clothes and other household items, plus a few bags of long-lasting food reserves and maybe something else if you were to rummage through other people's stuff, something you feel wouldn't be very nice to do, especially not to someone who's being kind enough to give you a passage through unknown lands.

Thanks to the well-paved road, the trip is a lot less bumpy than you would expect. Dare you say it's a quite smooth ride. From the naturally incoming idle chatter you learn that the woman is called Leibel and she's following her husband, Jacob, in the Shadow Marches because they have received a gift to cover for travelling expenses plus a bit of extra. Apparently, Leibel's husband isn't a dirt farmer but rather one coming from an accomplished family who studied that craft at the University, which is where he earned the possibility to travel here.

You wonder if he also studied what to grow on tropical soil. You would expect him to if he's here, after all, or his contribution to this land would make little sense.

>Ask about the monetary gift received
>Ask about Jacob
>Ask about Leibel
>Ask about your destination
>Other?

>>36032965
>ask about jacob

Aw yes, best quest is here. Damn sleep, making lose the start.

>>36032759

Well, it was one of the possible outifts given by the requester...

>>36032965
>Ask about Jacob

>>36032998
But that bulge man

>>36032965
>>Ask about Jacob

>>36033004

Hey, no one's fault Lillith is rather well endowed in that part as well.

>>36033039
I know, and I love it

>>36032965
>Ask about your destination

>>36032965
>>Ask about the monetary gift received

"Your husband sounds like a well-off person", you can't help but comment. Well, it's not surprising, he most likely knows more about agriculture than all of you back there combined.

"Well, he did work hard and it's finally paying off", Liebel sounds like a rather chill woman from what little you've managed to see of her right now. Her three children are all small, the oldest is a girl and she's but five and the youngest is still a toddler, "But yes, it's convenient. His family has been running quite a bit of land for generations so they were happy too that we were going to settle in the Shadow Marches. It's like an empire growing".

"You received a bonus in money, too?".

"Yes... He says it's because they want to kickstart the economy", you know she's repeating his words from her uncertain frown, "It's because there's still little coin around the Shadow Marches, so they give some settlers a bit more, which makes them spend it, and this should make markets flourish... Oh, I don't really know", she chuckles.

"You've got a beautiful family", Bryld adds in, smiling brightly, especially at the children.

"Oh, thank you...", Liebel gently caresses her own children, who are all sticking close to her, though they all stare at the big, weird strangers, especially you and Tahenohan, "Do you have children, too?".

"Eh?", Bryld blinks, for the question was directed right at her with an expecting look. Well, you all know what they say about rabbits. "Oh, no no no... I-I don't".

"Oh you should, it's beautiful", the woman assures her, "Are you planning to? I'm sure a beauty like yourself won't have problems finding a husband, we can help look for one if you want".

"Ah- no, thank you but... No, haha", look at how she's blushing.

"What about the rest of you?", and you get expecting looks too.

Who the fuck doesn't? Also, Ishtar and the whole fertility and maternity thing? Yeah.

>>36033083
>"I'd like to have some"

Mini Lilliths will be adorable.

>I'd like to have some"

>>36033099
>>36033102
>>36033115
General theme seems to be "Yes but not right now."
Question is, are we bearing the babies or having someone else bear them?
Really hope the rite works on Lesbians, that way us and Tahe could pregnant simply off of each other

>>36033132

Man, just stick it inside Tahenohan.

>>36033083
>>"I haven't planned anything"
>>"I'd like to have some"

>>36033132
>Question is, are we bearing the babies or having someone else bear them?

I thought we didn't have a vagina.

>>36033159
We have both.

>>36033159
We're a girl with a cock, not a man with breasts you dolt.

>>36033132
>Double pregnancy
This is arousing and daaaaawww with at the same time.

"Hello!", Tahenohan greets the children while staring at them in the eyes and waving her hand in an expressive greeting motion.

"I would rather have a stable relationship first", Luna comments with a shrug as she crosses her arms, her constant frown makes it impossible to tell whether she's still reminiscing about her past experiences or she's just grumpy by nature, "It makes no sense to talk about that without".

"Hello!", Tahenohan goes again, insisting until she receives a smile and a wave from the three years old boy, at which point the half-elf returns an even brighter smile and redoubts her efforts. You get the distinct feeling this isn't the first time she's dealing with children.

Seeing Bryld still fidget and try to avoid the question, you decide to contribute your own two coppers, "I would like to have some too, but as Luna said, it's hard to put in practice without being in a relationships. Kids don't come out of nowhere", you wisely add, eliciting a knowing chuckle from Liebel.

"Oh, I know. Well, it should be obvious since you're all women and travelling on your own", she concludes, "But maybe some of you were joining their families, or had someone waiting for them in Reboldeux".

"No. Well, not someone we're planning to make children with", you add. You give all your companions a glance, remembering that you are, in fact, four single women travelling around and with therefore pretty much zero chance of even accidental baby making.

... In the perspective of someone that doesn't know about you, that is.

When even Bryld notices you're staring more at your own party than Liebel and her kids, you decide it's time to continue the conversation for a bit. After all, the trip is still rather long.

>Try and approach the children. If Tahenohan can do it you can too, damn it!
>Ask Liebel about something else (what?)
>Move to the front and join Jacob instead
>Other?

>>36033159
>>36033167
>>36033170

Well, we can all agree on her having balls as well, right?

>>36033187
>Try and approach the children. If Tahenohan can do it you can too, damn it!

Mamma Lillith in training.

>>36033201
As MP states, it's barely relevant to the quest, so we're not going to see confirmation on it.
And no, we can't agree

>>36033167
>>36033170
I don't remember it being said either way. Could we get some QM clarification?

>>36033187
>Move to the front and join Jacob instead
Lets talk business.

>>36033223
It's not really relevant right now, and I don't foresee this becoming relevant in the near future. Combined with the very low chance of there being an agreement over the issue, I'd rather just move the discussion to after we're done with the episode.

>>36033236
He's asking if we have both sets of genitals, which would be relevant if we wanted to have children with a man.
The balls/no balls thing was completely irrelevant though.

>>36033223
We're described as a girl with a penis. Not as a male with breasts. Not sure why you're pushing this issue so much.

>>36033187
>Move to the front and join Jacob instead
Kind of wanna go with Tahe, but business.

>>36033255
Just curious. Also genetics in this world don't work like the real world, so your point is moot.

>>36033247
Well, we would need balls to impregnate a female.

>>36033255
>>36033268
>>36033273
BALLS ARE INTERNAL
BECAUSE MAGIC
NOW SHUT THE FUCK UP

>>36033286
This.

>>36033286
No you shut up. Ball-less futas are the worst.

>>36033299
That's regardless of the point, we're not going to be seeing them if they exist or not anyway.

They may as well be schrodinger's balls!

>>36033286

No, fuck off. That's just stupid and ugly.

>>36033314
Just stop arguing about it, it's completely irrelevant to the quest and everything in it.

The only time it will ever be relevant is when you go spend twenty bucks for a commission, and decide to include her crotch in it. As for the fertility issue, we seem to have enough equipped to impregnate a girl, whether that means we have balls or not is up to you.

You decide you should meet with both of the people who are offering you a passage, and therefore excuse yourself and carefully move through the heavy curtains and join the front, sitting on the teamster's bench next to Jacob, who gives you an odd frown as you sit right next to him, but doesn't protest, though he keeps glancing at the way you adjust your position to make your tail fit, since the bench wasn't designed for someone with an extension of their spine. Stupid benches.

"Hello", you say to break the ice.

"Howdy", you don't feel the same enthusiasm coming from him.

"Your wife was very kind in offering us a passage, I wanted to thank you too for accepting us".

"Thank her, it was her choice".

"You have a beautiful family, are you looking forward to get settled?".

"Uh-huh".

Well, he clearly doesn't like you very much. It's been a while since someone's been this open about it, but you can't say it's new. There's some people that just don't trust you, and some that decide flat out they don't like you just because you're the child of a demon. Well, not like you don't see their reasons, but it's not very nice towards you, you have no fault in that, you never chose your parents.

Heck, you never even met your parents!

At least there's a nice breeze outside, and the scent of wilderness and greenery is all around you. It's not even a light forest at this point, just grasslands dotted with tropical trees, including ebony trees, and plenty of brushes, some of which have edible-looking berries.

You wonder if there's truffles to be found in the underbrush too. You don't think they're a tropical thing, but you can never be sure.

Still, you have to think of a way to save the conversation at least.

>"So, you're an accomplished farmer?".

>>36033201
No.

"Your wife told me you studied at the University", you decide to insist, you have to break the ice somehow. In your experience, nobody will ever get to like you if you don't go talk to them and show, in practice, that you're harmless. Well, there's some people that will insist in not liking you even then, but most of the time it's enough to get past casual racism.

"I have", he answers.

"And that you're an accomplished farmer. Your family owns quite a bit of land if I understand it right", you have to keep insisting, "Are you prepared for the Shadow Marches? I don't know much about farming but I've been told the tropics are very different".

"They are", and he makes a long pause follow, during which you think you hear a sigh despite his attempts to hide it, "You can't think in a four-season standard, for one thing. It's either rain season or dry season, you have to find other ways to cycle crops and make your own calendar, and keep in mind which ones can survive constant rainfall, and always keep a reserve of water to make something grow during the dry season".

"Really? I didn't know that, you sure know your stuff", you offer him a smile, which isn't answered. Well, at least he's talking, right?, "What are you planning to do once you're settled?".

"See the land, check the soil, see what can be grown", he sighs, this time obviously, "I have to make certain dolts understand that just because the land is fertile and full of spontaneous plants it doesn't mean it can automatically support everyone. The human hand is necessary if we want to survive".

"Really? I've been told food is the least of my concerns, and I'm an explorer".

"It is, if all you travel with is three other people", he agrees, "But a town of over fifty thousand? Wait until the rain season and see. It will be a disaster".

That sounds... Dramatic

>"Can it be averted?".
>"What's terrible about it?".
>"Do you have any plans?".
>"Have you talked to someone about it?".

>>36033419

This anons got to leave for work now so I'll unfortunately miss the rest of the thread, thanks for running it MP.

My vote for the after thread argument, no balls is best, if you want to moan about 'how dun babby work' think about it, we're the cultist/priestess of THE fertility goddess, magic ain't gotta explain shit..

He was probably just sounding dramatic just for the sake of sounding dramatic, but you can't help be concerned. You guess this means you do have maternal instincts, so you're not losing to a half-elf on that front.

No, you have to get your mind back on track.

"Wait, why would it be a disaster? Reboldeux was doing fine when I was there".

"Too many people all of a sudden. It's good while there's ships coming and going every day, bringing all sorts of supplies, and everyone thinks the sea has an unlimited amount of fish", he explains, "But most of them weren't born here and have no idea what being in a rain season means".

"... What does it mean?", you prod him.

"Over sixty millimeters of precipitation per month", he explains. You're not quite sure what that means but he says it like it's a lot, "Most crops will die. Wheat? Pfft, a waste of time. And good luck convincing as many captains to journey here from Izulde as they are doing so now. The sea will become more treacherous, and if the winds pick up, a lot more dangerous too, so fishing will stop being the grand resource it will be today".

"That sounds... Bad. But if it's so plentiful, won't we still have large stocks".

"With the sudden increase in humidity? Unless you're very well prepared, most of the food will rot twice as fast, or more, not to mention the increased chance of diseases being spread. Stocking food is pointless if you can't keep it from rotting, agriculture would be easy if we didn't have to account for that, but even the food that's supposed to last long doesn't if the conditions are averse".

And that is why schooling is important. You, who got pretty much none of that, are constantly finding yourself in situations that remind you of that.

"Have you... Talked to anyone about that?".

He shrugs, "And who? They're all interested in making money and that's it".

>>36033497

>>36033491
Think the post-thread vote is less about balls and more about having dual genitals. Could be wrong though.

>>36033517
Second, gotta work that charm.

>>36033517
>>36033520
Seconding these.

>>36033525
Probably, and both is best.

>>36033534

Both is probably the only way. I thought it was confirmed that the MC had both sets.

>>36033538
Me too. Would be weird with only one, considering.

You have to agree with him: not one person you've met wasn't enthusiast about the money-making opportunity, and the fact you've seen more merchants at the caravansary than ever in your life is telling. Actually, the fact the innkeeper let you sleep there and fed you for free exactly because you weren't a merchant is the most telling part about the situation here. If this Jacob speaks the truth, you're walking towards an appalling situation in regards of supply and demand.

Of food, of all things! People die without food!

"You're right, most of them are only thinking of money", you've met some that were more long-term thinkers but even then they were talking about how the economic boom wasn't going to be everlasting. It was still money talk, in the end, "But the problem will still be there. What are you going to do about it?".

He shrugs, "I'll try to make sure to get it in as many heads as possible that we'll have to work hard to make sure the land will sustain us rather than be fertile in a way we can't exploit. It doesn't matter how big and plentiful a resource is, it will deplete if you don't work to renew it".

"I have some contacts I could pull", you inform him, sliding a little closer, "And a certain way with words... And people. I'm pretty sure I could talk to the right people and make sure this awareness spreads in those who count. I'm certain the Duke of Reboldeux doesn't want to deal with the biggest case of famine there's ever been in his lands, after all".

He gives you an odd glance, with a furrowed brow. You're pretty sure he's just glaring at you and wondering if you've made use of demon magic before to get those 'contacts' of yours, and whether you're going to use it on him or not.

And then the caravan stops, and he looks ahead, "Ah, crap", he comments.

You see a group of workers busy in the task of building the very road you are in... Which ends a couple dozen metres ahead. It's still work in progress from there on.

>Continue

You have no choice but to move off the road and proceed along the considerably bumpier grassland as the master mason encourages you, with ample gestures, like somebody who's detoured plenty of caravans like yours before. Passing by you have a nice glimpse of plenty of tough-looking workers, most of them naked from the waist up due to the sweat and deep inside a pit, as large as the road you were in, intent in excavating and then filling the hole with several different layers of pebbles, stone and cement, with the paved stones being only the uppermost layers.

You proceed in the same direction, stopping not long after for yet another of the frequent pauses you have to take, which is understandable when you have three small children, one of which needs frequent breastfeeding.

All of you take advantage of that pause to climb down and stretch your legs a bit. You see that Liebel and the others have bonded noticeably more, you could still hear their voices behind you but being focused on your own conversation with Jacob you couldn't quite tell what they were talking about.

You see Tahenohan holding the toddler in her arms, tickling his belly and telling him something in such a thick baby talk you can't even tell what she's saying. Despite her manic expression and pointy ears, the baby is clearly enjoying himself and laughing wholeheartedly. Poor little creature, he still suspects nothing about elves.

>Approach Tahenohan, you want to cuddle a toddler too
>Approach the other children, now is your chance!
>Approach Bryld, ask if she's okay and stuff
>Approach Luna, ask if she's okay and stuff
>Take a brief look around, get familiar with the vegetation
>Just rest and don't do anything particular, you still have a bit to go
>Other?

>>36033635
>Approach Bryld, ask if she's okay and stuff
Gotta get to know bunnybutt someday.

>>36033635
>>Approach Bryld, ask if she's okay and stuff

>>36033635
>Approach the other children, now is your chance!

Quick, put them in a sack and run away!

>>36033635
>>Take a brief look around, get familiar with the vegetation

>>36033635
>Approach the other children, now is your chance!

Mamma Lilith~

>>36033635
>Take a brief look around, get familiar with the vegetation
There must be something to look at if it's an option.

>Poor little creature, he still suspects nothing about elves.
Yours is my new favorite depiction of elves.

>>36033635
>Take a brief look around, get familiar with the vegetation

>>36033635
>Approach Bryld, ask if she's okay and stuff
Too many things to choose from, too little time!

>>36033635
>Approach the other children, now is your chance!
Yes, sacrifice her and bring 7 years good crops!

How...

How do you get tied on three different options?

How?

>>36033635
>Approach Bryld, ask if she's okay and stuff
>Take a brief look around, get familiar with the vegetation

>>36033711

It happens.

And foul play must be going on. We've never had this many people before.

>>36033711
By having players that are interested enough in all three options, obviously.

From what little you've seen of Luna, she's the kind of woman that can take care of herself. Plus, she's been in the military, she's probably a bit rough around the edges, especially when dealing with other people, but she's the sort of girl that has the eyes on the prize and plenty of willpower. She came all the way from Yerles, after all.

Which means you choose to go at Bryld's side, leaving Tahenohan to have fun with toddlers. Don't worry, the mother is supervising, and she knows what to expect from elves.

That's a lie by the way, nobody knows what to expect from an elf, but since it's just half of an elf, it should be fine.

"So, have you been convinced to be come a mother?", you ask, making her do a spittake as she was drinking from her waterskin. Oh, such a perfect timing~

"W-wha? N-no...", she looks all flustered, as expected. Why is it so easy to bully the bunnygirl? And why is it fun? You probably should feel bad about it. Or not?

Nevermind, you have other things to take care of, "Oh well, there's still time for that, don't worry", and you pat her back, "I was planning to take a look at the brushes and see what we should expect, do you want to come along? It might be helpful if everyone learns to recognize edible berries".

She pauses, giving you an odd look but eventually accepting your way of making friends, "Yes. Yes, that's a good idea".

You don't really go far, as a matter of fact it's a very short walk before you can appreciate some of the fuller bushes. You're not quite sure what kind of berries they are, but they look rather small, the sort the birds eat, which you remember isn't the sort humans eat.

"Oh, these are good for tea", Bryld points at them, "They have to be mashed and boiled, but it tastes good. You shouldn't eat them raw, though".

>"How much do you know of tropical vegetation?".
>"How do you find yourself in this group?".
>"Do you like the wilderness?".
>"Do you like children?".
>Other?

>>36033765
>"How much do you know of tropical vegetation?".
Compliment her on her knowledge.
>"How do you find yourself in this group?".
>"Do you like the wilderness?".

>>36033711
With skill.

>>36033765
>"How much do you know of tropical vegetation?".
We need something that can be grown as food source.
PROTIP: BANANAS AND SUGARCANE.

>>36033765
>"How much do you know of tropical vegetation?".
>"How do you find yourself in this group?".

>>36033765
>>"How much do you know of tropical vegetation?".
>"Do you like children?".
Honest question with a hint of bully after.

>>36033778
Second

>>36033798
>Bullying bunnybutt

>>36033765
>>"How much do you know of tropical vegetation?".

>>36033765
>"Do you like children?".
>"Want me to give you some?"

>>36033765
This shit's too early for me, I'm still yawning.
>"How do you find yourself in this group?".

>>36033765
>"Do you like children?"

"Well it seems like you know something about tropical vegetation, that's good of you", you compliment her, and she makes a shy smile.

"It... It's not much, really. It's just a berry that also happens to grow here, I'm sure there's other kinds of food that we're already familiar with".

You aren't completely and utterly new to most of the fruits and vegetables you've seen here, after all. Bananas also grow somewhere else in the kingdom of Rune, and when the Shadow Marches were still a flourishing part of the kingdom a lot of things were imported and grown locally when possible. Things like coconut and pineapples are something you've never seen from up close before you got here, but you were at least aware of their existence.

In the end, she has a point.

"How are you finding yourself in this group? Feel like you can trust us for an adventure?".

She gives the matter a bit of thought as she makes a shy smile, poking the berries idly with her slender finger, "Well... I must admit I was a bit surprised they found me someone this quickly, and I was a little scared having to rely on people I didn't know to go out in the wilderness, but... Well, I can't complain", she still fidgets as she says that, "I mean Tahenohan is... Unique, but she's not dangerous or anything. Once you get to know her she's actually an okay person".

She glances back, and you see she's still playing around with children in the distance.

"What about me?", you ask, and Bryld glances at you before looking down, away, at the bush and doing anything to not look at you in the eye as she talks.

"Uhm, well, you... You're a good person. I know you... Uhm... Have a... Unique look", she's using this word, "unique", in a rather crafty way, "But you're... Well, you're caring. I get the feeling one can really rely on you. That- that's what I think".

>"Please rely on me then".
>"Do you like us, too?".
>"Do you like me?".
>"Do you like Tahenohan?".
>"Do you like children?".
>Other?

I never see gaining new players in a quest to be a good thing. I hope we continue to be as relaxed and agreeable as we always are despite the new numbers

>>36033859
>"Please rely on me then".
>"Do you like me?".
Fuck, all these flags are rising.

>>36033859
>"Please rely on me then".
>"Do you like me?".
Did... Was it... I hope it wasn't that easy.

>>36033859
>"Do you like me?".
>"Do you like children?".

Is it time for bunnybutt?

>Do you like me?
>Please rely on me then
>Do you like children

Ohonohoho

>>36033883
I don't know. I'm conflicted. Elfbutt should be priority, but bunnybutt is calling for me.

>>36033859
>>"Please rely on me then".
LILLITH TAIEART: MOST RELIABLE TIEFLING
>>36033865
Deculture Effect in full swing here. Hopefully if wears off by next session.

>>36033892

Do it, man. Elfbutt is not exclusive, you kow. She's this setting's Tia (a toned down Tia, yes, but still Tia)

>>36033907
I'm not ready to assume that sort of thing, especially not in this sort of quest. I'd very, very much like not to draw parallels with Exalted Quest either, I don't like the implications for Lillith.

>>36033907
What the fuck are you even talking about.

"Please rely on me more, then", you encourage her, then you get your smile on without even realizing, "And my, with such cute words, I'd even think you like me".

As expected, she blushes profusely as she mounts up a silent protest where she tries to speak but fails and then turns to hide her face. "Y-you're just teasing me", she concludes in a pouty tone.

"Do you get teased often?".

She remains silent for a while, then you hear a heavy sigh coming from her, "... It's because of me, isn't it? It's because I'm shy, and I should be firmer when I speak. Aaaah, I should stop letting myself be dragged around".

"Mh? Were you dragged here?".

"Well- no. I didn't mean- it's not- I'm not saying it's your fault- I...", she's spasmodically trying to reassure you she didn't mean something, but is failing to be clear at it, and even more flustered, "I... Well, I was told flat that I wasn't going to have any career or hopes where I was, so unless I wanted to spend the rest of my life copying old maps, I should have looked for fortune elsewhere, and then...".

"And then the Reconquista, right?".

"Yes", she sighs, hiding her face behind her hands, "Ooooh. What should I do? I hate the wilderness, I want to stay in a nice, warm home without having to worry about anything, but I can't turn back... And I don't have a nice, warm home to go back to either".

You remain silent for a bit. Well, good to know that one out of three members of exploration team is terrible at exploring. Considering the second is a complete newbie and the third is part elf, this expedition is already going places.

"Well, a nice warm home is a perfect place to grow children", you smile, trying to relieve the tension, "You like children, don't you?".

She sighs again, and shows her face again, but now she looks quite a bit gloom, "... We'll come back to a warm house earlier or later, right?".

>"Definitely".
>"It might take a long while".
>"Maybe you'll like travelling!".
>Other?

>>36033934
He's saying that Tahenohan would be fine with an open relationship (Although Bryld herself would most likely not be, and if we attempted such a thing would most probably be heart broken)

And drew parallels to Exalted Quest's Tia, who is fine with the MC, Maka, having as many partners as she wishes.

>>36033948
>"It might take a long while".
>"But I'm sure time will fly!"

>>36033948
>Other
Give her a light hug
"I'll make sure of it."

>>36033956
I like EQ but I hope this quest takes absolutely nothing from EQ wrt sex/relationships.

>>36033948
>"Definitely".
>"Maybe you'll like travelling!".
Friends make the journey, after all.

>>36033956
Drawing parallels with anything related to Exalted is not a good thing.

>>36033948
>""Maybe you'll like travelling!"

Let's be hoenst, there won't be a warm home for a loooooooong time. For anyone.

>>36033948
>"Definitely".

>>36033968
>>36033948
Seconding +
>"Maybe you'll like travelling!".

>>36033948
>>36033968
I'll back this!

>>36033970
>>36033971
I agree, we stick to Taheno, Taheno a best.

>>36033970
I am in full agreement. That being said, I trust MP to do such a thing, we're not exactly the Exalted of Ishtar after all. We're simply a poor person, in a world where such decadence would be frowned upon.

>>36033971
Exalted has good points.

>>36033968
>>36033948
This.

>>36033992
Lets not limit ourselves for now. Tahe is a half-elf, her mind is rather alien to ours.

>>36034006
>her mind is rather alien to ours.
So?

If in the future she wants to bring another into the relationship and we're fine with it then thats to be dealt with then, but for now?

We're going with Tahe.

>>36034015
I meant more "We don't exactly know what sort of relationship she wants to bring to us, if at all." Rather than pushing for a polyamorous relationship.

You're not really sure what to answer. On one hand, you want to make pretty damn sure you will come back: you don't want to die out there, you absolutely want to come back earlier or later. On the other hand, you're not sure how long an expedition will take, you have to gather enough material for her to start mapping, which needs... What? A week? Two? A month?

You have absolutely no idea.

"I'll definitely bring you back to a warm home", you say with confidence, extending your arm to grab her shoulders and give her a light hug, "I'll make sure of that".

She's a little rigid at first but you feel her relaxing in your arms, "... Thank you", she answers.

"I'm not sure how long that will take, though", you have to be honest with her, "But hey, maybe you'll like travelling after all! You know, sometimes people don't like something because of one bad experience, but then they just need a good experience to balance it out! For example, I used to hate crab meat because-".

"I know, I know", she pats your hand with a smile and stands up, brushing her trousers a bit and looking away from the brush and up at the sky, as if gauging the weather, "Please don't let my complaints bring you down, I... I know I don't have much initiative and I get discouraged easily, but I decided to find my resolve ever since I left my home. I- I am not weak, I will stick to this until I'll be done".

She stares at you for a bit, then smiles and chuckles, "Besides, you two may be unique, but you're fun to be around and definitely caring. Way better than I could hope for. Heck, the moment I agreed to let the bureaucracy find me some partner I was afraid I'd end up paired with some psychopaths who would rape me as soon as we left town".

Objectively speaking, you think the possibilities of that happening are pretty damn low, but knowing Bryld you can understand her concern.

>"What do you think of Liebel and Jacob?".
>"What do you think of Luna?".
>"Do you like children?".
>Other?

>>36034035
>"Do you like children?".

As long as this is offered, I will take it.

>>36034035
>"What do you think of Tahenohan?"
I still want to know.

>>36034035
>"What do you think of Luna?".

>"So you like children"

I must know!

>>36034035
>"What do you think of Luna?".
>"What do you think of Tahenohan?".

>>36034035
>"What do you think of Luna?".

>>36034035
>"What do you think of Luna?".
>>"Do you like children?

We already spoke of tahenohan with her

"You've known Luna for longer than we did, what do you think of her?", you decide to ask her.

"Mh... She's... Hard to deal with", she frowns a little, "I don't mean it in a bad way. I think she's a bit shy herself, but maybe... Well, it shows she comes from very hard, it's hard to understand what she's thinking". She pauses, looking for words to better express herself, "I don't know how to put it, but she's the kind of person that is bad with words and doesn't know how to express herself, but I get the feeling you can rely on her".

You have to praise Bryld's observation skills, as this tells a lot of things about Luna and her words. Or lack thereof.

After that, a brief glance at the nearby family is all you need to get an excuse for your next topic: "So, do you like children?".

"Oh", and she sighs, "It's that story again, right?".

"Which story?".

"About rabbits and having many children", she repeats in a tired tone with a half smile, "Look it's all hearsay, I don't think we're actually that much more fertile than ordinary humans. Besides, Leibel is young and she has three already, in rapid succession, and there's families of ten around, and they're all ordinary humans. I don't think there's a connection".

"You don't think", you repeat, "Do you want to make sure?", you offer.

"Oh you", and she chuckles, lightly pushing your chest, "Come on, and we're both girls, too!".

Right. Only Tahenohan knows, for now. There's plenty of ways the secrets your peculiar crotch could be revealed, only a part of them lewd, and most of them ordinary or even accidental. You wonder what's the best way to break it to her, which you might have to if you're going to spend a long time with her.

You can't quite show it right here, you're in line of sight with the others... But while you're thinking, you see Bryld's ears perk and flip.

"Huh?", she wonders, "Thought I heard something...".

>"What?".
>Go investigate
>Nevermind, go back with the others
>Other?

>>36034140
>"What?".
>Go investigate
Oh, so that's why he was avoiding it. I'm pretty dense

>>36034140
>>Go investigate
Is it our shounen protag friend?

>>36034140
>Go investigate

I see where this is going with bryld, and I like it.

>>36034140
>Go investigate

>>36034140
>"What?".
Huh?

You frown, looking at Bryld, "What is it?".

She remains still and silent, her head half-turned as her ears scan around lightly for more sound sources, perked up at full attention, "... I'm not sure, I think I heard some rustling".

There's a lightly forested area up ahead, past those three palm trees growing close to each other that you were thinking you could lead Bryld to if you wanted to show your crotch to her without being instantly branded as a super dangerous pervert and a sexual predator by everyone else. You weren't even sure it would have been a good idea, and it's a bit funny you're planning to go there for completely different reasons.

You move there with confident steps, with Bryld lagging behind with a worried expression and her hands close to her chest, wondering what you're planning to do.

You have no idea yourself why you're doing this. This is supposed to be the sort of dangerous things you're not meant to do.

Knowing this, you don't actually enter the lightly forested area. That would be stupid and you don't really have time to explore, you're about to resume your travels. Still, peeking amongst the trees you notice something almost immediately: the tropical trees that are closer to each other have cobwebs between them. Pretty large cobwebs too, you've never seen them of this size in a forest before.

You don't see any spiders on it, and you kind of hope you won't. They'd have to be really huge frickin' spiders to spin something like that. It's kind of scary when you think about it.

You really should be returning to the caravan, though.

>Grab some cobweb before leaving
>Cut some cobweb away before leaving
>Peer into the forest as hard as you can
>Ask Bryld to come and check
>Screw that, back to the caravan right now
>Other?

>>Screw that, back to the caravan right now

>>36034197
>Peer into the forest as hard as you can
ha ha time for giant spiders or spider girls, either's fine

>>36034197
>Other
Slowly back away while peering.
I can only hope this is some sort of amazon-tribe-esqe spider-people cobwebs, rather than actual giant spiders

>>36034212
dude, don't grab the freaky cobwebs by hand, thats just going to get us snared in it

>>36034216
I'd like a spider boy actually. Or maybe even a spiderman.

>>36034225
/co/ pls go

>>36034216
>>36034225
No just no.

This ain't that sort of quest.

>>36034228
Oh come on, it was a joke! Seriously though, we haven't seen any monster guys at all. Are there even any?

>>36034232
Uh.... It isn't a smut quest, sure. But if you noticed we've got a were-bunny and a were-dog with us. So it's not out of the question to hope the giant spider is a were-spider, is it?

>>36034197
>>Peer into the forest as hard as you can
hey, we might meet the local mosnterfolk. That would be good for Lillith.

>>36034235
What monster girls have been around? Bunnygirls and the like aren't monstergirls, nor are tieflings or elves. Mermaids are closer but they're also classic mythology/fantasy and shouldn't be seen as a sign that monstergirls (or boys) in general are a thing. Any I forgot?

>>36034241
Knowing that we're in the unknown and we know for a fact that exploring is dangerous work, yes it is out of the question to 'hope' for something that wants to eat us.

>>36034244
Pretty much.

This quest doesn't have monstergirls or monsterboys, just were people and the kind of standard fare fantasy mythological people

>>36034252
Whoa, I'm not hoping it eats us. I'm just saying I'd prefer a monster girl/boy instead of Shelob.

>>36034244
>>36034261
>Our own powers have it written in the description that it can create monster girls/boys
>Our GOD is literally the god of creating these things
>The setting has been stated to include monster girls multiple times
How's it feel living in the dark there?

You peer into the forest as hard as you can. If Bryld heard something, it means either one of two things:

The first is that there was an animal moving quickly amongst the forested area, probably scared by your voices and presences. In that case, you have to compliment Bryld because damn her hearing is really good, those bunny ears certainly aren't just for show.

The second is that she heard the rustling of the owner of the web you're staring at disappearing or hiding amongst the foilage. Which means that not only Bryld's hearing is much, much better than you first thought, but also that the spider in question is large enough to brush foilage aside.

Which means it's the hugest spider you've ever seen or heard about.

And it's right above your head.

And possibly about to jump ON your head. And bite you. And then devour your carcass.

You decide this is a very good moment to get the hell away from there and return to the caravan. Carefully tracing your steps back while looking up, down and all around you, you nearly bump your shoulders into Bryld before turning, giving her a confident smile and saying "It's nothing, probably just a wild animal".

And you decide to leave it at that. Bryld thankfully nods and doesn't press the issue, eager as you are (much more than you are) to return to the caravan.

You finish the stop and proceed further down your way to Palmville or whatever was that place's name, assuming it even has one. You'll have to go ask once you arrive.

And since the pace has been slowed a bit due to the lack of a road, you suspect it will be quite late in the evening.

And that's it for Episode 9. Thanks for sticking with me again.

Wow, I ran late! I have to fix some quick lunch 'cause I have a busy day ahead.

Sorry if I can't really stick around this time, check twitter in the following days for the next episode!

>>36034292
Thanks for the thread MP

>>36034261
>>36034244

There were centaurs as an alternative for Tahenohan, one of them was a male. Harpies are also a thing, but we have yet to see them; soon, I think.

Word of God has been spoken for monsterfolk as well, various times.

>>36034292

Thanks for the thread, MP!

>>36034292
Alright then, should we discuss the issue you didn't want discussed now or later then? Or will you make a decision yourself?
Thank you for the session!

>>36034292
Thanks for running!

>>36034303
I seriously don't have the time to do it now. Let's save it for next time, or whenever it will become relevant.

So:

Futa (Girl+Boy) with balls
Futa (Girl+Boy) without balls
Shemale (Boy+Girlbody)

I think that's the three we had to choose from.

>>36034309
Honestly, this is probably one of the decisions best left up to you.

>>36034309
I meant more us, as in the players, rather than you. So then we can present it to you next session. (Or you can rea the archives.)

>>36034315
>Futa (Girl+Boy) without balls
This is what we chose at the beginning of the quest, and what we settled on in the early discussions of it.

>>36034315
Well we're obviously futa.
Beyond that, well who the fuck gives a shit kill yourselves smutfags.

>>36034315
>Futa (Girl+Boy) without balls
The third option would be a straight up retcon of Lillith to change that, and we already decided on this in the first thread.

Stop bringing this up.

>>36034320
Agreed

>>36034315
Fuck off with this bullshit.

>>36034315
What >>36034333 said.

>>36034315
Since when is futa girl+boy? It's 100% girl, just with a penis.

Also fuckers like you are exactly the reason I was worried about chargen results bringing in terrible posters and I hope every single one who's interested in defining this lose internet forever or until you forget this quest and never post again.

>>36034337
May as well bring it up and the end of the thread to see how people felt about it. We seem to be pretty unanimous on it, so that's good.

>>36034348
It's so it doesn't happen next thread anon. I'd prefer a bit of this bull shit now than have it next thread.

>>36034315
This has never before been relevant will not be relevant for a long long time if ever.

This discussion was finished in chargen so stop bringing it up for fucks sake.

>>36034359
>May as well bring it up and the end of the thread to see how people felt about it.
Why? It was done away with long ag-
>It's so it doesn't happen next thread anon.
Oh for fucks sake we buried this in the first thread goddamn it.

>>36034315
Option 4: The choice was made in thread 1 and if you don't like it, too fucking bad.
>>36034356
It's not the chargen results causing this, anon. Do you think it's a coincidence that there was a large spike in player numbers AND a shitstorm over literally nothing immediately after >>36032724 was posted?
>>36034370
The people arguing for it didn't READ the first thread. Or any other thread before this one.

>>36034359
Clearly you're very new as this is not an issue nor would it be if you read the first few threads and the chargen and what the QM had to say on the matter.

>>36034356
I meant girl+boy genitelia wise.

>Also fuckers like you are exactly the reason I was worried about chargen results bringing in terrible posters
Again, I'm just bringing it up so those terrible posters don't have ground to next thread, since none of us really seem interested in this issue.

>>36034370
And someone tried to unbury it this thread, which was why MP had to step in. As it stands, we're all clearly unanimous on the topic, so there's nothing for MP to discuss, saving us time next thread.

>>36034356
>Since when is futa girl+boy? It's 100% girl, just with a penis.

What? Futas can have balls too. The fuck are you smoking?

>>36034377
I honestly doubt the pic was the catalyst for this, but yeah, seems theres a newfag or two in here that hasn't bothered reading the archives or trying to understand what is going on and what everything is about.

>>36034384
Take it to /d/, don't shit the thread up any more than you already have.

>>36034359
Or you could just listen to the QM and let him bring it up when it's relevant.

>>36034377
>Option 4: The choice was made in thread 1 and if you don't like it, too fucking bad.
We are all of the same mind here anon. I was posting it simply so it wasn't brought up again.

>>36034388
It's called the Decu effect, I'm not sure if it's true, but his drawings can lead to a spike in player activity. And considering our quest was the very first request in the draw thread, it must have gotten quite a few people looking in.

>>36034315

Fuck off.

There is not even mention of balls or not in the first thread, I can only find 'lel she has a penis' in it.

This is much better left for headcannon than to argue for in a thread.

>>36034406
Decu's players are cancerous as fuck and make shitstorms out of the tiniest things. Fuck whoever requested art from him.

>>36034397
The entire reason it was brought up was because people wanted to change it, as this little part here has proven, people do not want to change it. This way even when it is relevant we don't need a vote, taking strain off of MP to include it as such.

This also stops any further arguments and discussions on the matter. Which is good, since no one wants it.

>>36034415
Well that's just rude, ain't that anon or Decu's fault, anon wanted art, the guy drew it and yet you blame the crimes of unconnected people on them? Chill dude, that only leads to the cancer spreading.

>>36034415
I appreciate the art, but I think this is just a little bump we've passed over. There's no need to get so hostile towards anyone.

Nothing major has been changed, nothing new has been added, no major decision was samefagged into oblivion, lets all relax.

>>36034377
>large spike in player numbers
Doesn't seem much more than past threads.
Also plenty of quests get lewd art in those drawthreads without any noticeable new player influx.
Finally we've had some shitty arguments about lewd stuff before in this quest anyway.

>>36034419
No one wanted to change it you tard, some guy seemed to be confused over whether Lillith could have children or not and then some retards decided to jump off into this balls/no balls argument.

>>36034407
Anon, read through the comment chains you slowpoke. The entire reason that was posted was to stop further discussion.

Gentlemen, cool your jets and relax.

>>36034419

Change what? There has never been a decision to see if Lillith had balls or not, it has always been left to everyone's headcannon. The only discussion of it in the first thread was about the size, and that's it.

>>36034440
>Doesn't seem much more than past threads.
We went from something like 3-4 usual players to 5-8, that's a pretty noticeable jump. Is that just because of the change in time though? Because this isn't usually when it runs after all.

>>36034435
To be fair, anons should know better than to connect Deculture anything with quests they like.

>>36034435
Did I blame Decu at all in my post?

Dammit, woke up just in time to miss the entire thread. I hope it doesn't keep happening at this time, this is an incredibly enjoyable quest.

>>36034448

And it accomplishes absolutely nothing. It doesn't matter, the subject won't be brought up in the quest anyway.

>>36034465
You're misremembering anon.
http://archive.moe/tg/thread/35795650/#35795650
Just like this thread, several posts with 8+ votes and lengthy discussions.

>>36034443
>>36034463
People were discussing whether Lillith had balls or not, or even had a vagina for that matter. This prompted MP to delve in and say that the matter would be resolved when it became relevant, which implies change could happen.

This way, we already know that no one wants a change, and we all are unanimous in following the first thread. Sorry if my post was wrong or made you angry, I'm just trying to sort this out so MP doesn't have to deal with it.

>>36034486
Welcome to my life, its refreshing to actually make a thread from start to finish for once, I hope it keeps doing this.

>>36034494
8+ votes when most of N America is awake. It's considerably slower when they're asleep .

>>36034486
It's honestly a minor discussion, people are just using harsh words as they always do. The contrast between the "Everyone is chilled and relaxed" moments and now just makes it stand out more, there really isn't that much difference or change in opinion.

>>36034496
Except MP already told you to cut that shit out and let him deal with it if the time ever came.

I'm guessing that's why a lot of people didn't vote in your poll. Because it wouldn't mean anything.

>>36034525
You can stop being a cunt any time man. Dude was just trying to help, even if he was doing it shirt ill

>>36034504
Please, anon. Notice how there were barely any voters at the start, even fewer than at the start of previous threads like the one linked? And then the numbers suddenly grew when Europeans started waking up? In the quest that has ran in generally pretty good EU times? Looks to me like the quest simply has a lot of EU readers, meaning it had few voters when it ran Saturday morning CET then got back to normal when they woke up. There's no indication the main reader-base of the quest is even American.

>>36034496

It isn't really unanimous. Only...three people actually bothered to say they want no balls. The rest was saying to get lost with the 'vote' or saying it should be left for the QM to decide.

>>36034547
Considering it usually runs in the evening for Americans I find that hard to believe.

>>36034549
I'm not gonna sully the quest by backing either as that would make it look like I endorse the discussion rather than hope it dies in a fire, however balls are clearly the slightly more retarded option.

>>36034525
He said to cut it out during when the thread was actually running, not after that.

It wasn't a vote or a poll, I was trying to gauge people's opinions. Which my post did perfectly, since it showed that everyone was unanimous in the belief what we already had shouldn't be changed.

Should I say I'm sorry again? That I shouldn't have done it? All I was trying to do was make things better.

>>36034546
Yeah, nah. He's just being an idiot and not listening to the QM telling him to let it go.

>>36034567

Just go away already.

>>36034563
If we're gonna discard that perfectly logical argument for why the number of players are about the same as usual despite the run-time, you're gonna have to discard the far less logical one of Decu drawthread influx as well.

>>36034567
You mean for the three people that bothered to vote or the majority that told you to fuck off?

EVERYONE SHUT UP.

Go take a walk or something that isn't posting and let the emotions calm down.

>>36034589
Let what go? All he was doing was making sure everyone had the same opinion, which was true. I don't get why you're being such an asshole

>>36034567
>All I was trying to do was make things better.
Ah, so you're purposefully trolling.

Because that's the first thing trolls do to make a thread better, is bring up an inconsequential point that is known to be both contentious and bring up heated debate.

>>36034600
I already said it wasn't a vote, I said it was to gauge people's opinions.

Of which the majority agreed, what we had, shouldn't be changed. And that we should no longer discuss it. That's it.

I'm just going to stop posting now, I don't feel people are understanding my point, and re-iterating myself over and over isn't going to work.

>>36034604

It really isn't.

>>36034619
We understand it fine, just one salty anon can't let it go and shut up about it.

>>36034620
It really isn't what? That everyone held the same opinion we should discuss this shit and it's fine as it was?

>>36034619

The existence of balls or not has never been confirmed by the QM and has been left to everyone's imagination. It doesn't matter if someone wants them or not, it won't change anything, as they may as well be Schrodinger's balls (to quote another anon).

So yes, what you did was a bad move. You should just have left it alone.

>>36034604
Well he did succeed in making people rally in support of people who give a shit fucking off, so that's nice.

Of course, bringing it up also probably wore at our QM's enjoyment of the quest, so I'm already calling that at some point in the future, people not being able to leave smut/lewdness along but insisting on discussing and arguing about it is gonna make him drop the quest. Maybe next thread, maybe in a year, but it'll happen.

>>36034619
Actually I agreed that your vote was meaningless and we should let the QM decide.

>>36034630
Whoops, SHOULDNT discuss this shit

>>36034643
>people not being able to leave smut/lewdness along but insisting on discussing and arguing about it is gonna make him drop the quest. Maybe next thread, maybe in a year, but it'll happen.
Nah it won't, MP's too awesome for that, people just need to learn to not be faggots and be civil.

>all these fags that are scared of balls

Pff, what are you, gay? Clearly balls are the only option.

>>36034630

Quoting fucked up, oops.

I meant that it's not unanimous.

I, for one, wasn't even here when this shit arguing began, I'm just watching it from the sidelines, but felt the need to help correct the wrong assumption.

>>36034643
>Of course, bringing it up also probably wore at our QM's enjoyment of the quest
Hopefully he wasn't here to see this discussion at least. Besides, MP's stronger than that, right?

>>36034642
>The existence of balls or not has never been confirmed by the QM and has been left to everyone's imagination.
Looking at the character sheet and the first post about Lillith, it seems to exclude balls as being a part of our biology.

Regardless however, Schrodinger's balls seem like the best option currently.

>>36034674
MP is.

But you know the best way to help?

Stop fucking discussing it. The thread is finished for today, and if it's not on topic discussion about the quest and its relevant aspects then simply don't post in this thread now.

>>36034695
Yup. And now we all know not to discuss it, and that most of us are on the same page regarding it.

>>36034509
I wasn't even saying anything about what the players were doing, I'm just upset because I missed the thread and couldn't participate.

The genitals discussion is something we can do without, though: it'll only be relevant when it becomes relevant, and MP's already said that lewding isn't going to be a usual thing.

>>36034688
>exclude balls as being part of our biology

Nah man, that would be if there was a explicit mention of them not existing. Just saying that Lillith has a penis is not enough verify for the presence or lack of balls, really.

I'd say it's more natural to assume someone has both things when it's said a girl has a penis.

But anyway, yes, schrodinger's balls. To each their own.

>>36034688
It also excludes arms and legs, but I'm assuming we have those as well.

Thing is, most people assume dick and balls are a package deal. Which is probably where most of the confusion comes from since it's so vaguely worded.

>>36034740
That discussion is no longer relevant to this thread or board anon.

>>36034720
>already said that lewding isn't going to be a usual thing.
I think that Lewding itself may be regular (depends on the partner really) but the description of it and things around it may not be. MP's also said he's not writing smut, just the build up, so there's that too.

>>36034739
>>36034740
I suppose you guys are right actually, which explains why that one anon back at the start of the thread was confused about whether Lillith even had female genitals.

>>36034762
>MP's also said he's not writing smut, just the build up, so there's that too.
Hey as long as we get the snuggles before and after with Taheno I'll be more than happy.

>>36034756
I'll continue replying to people if I have anything else to add, and there's nothing you can do about it, anon.

>>36034790
Yup, MP says that sort of thing is important to character building, so he's not going to exclude it. We'll likely get to aggressive groping and barely described sexual actions (handjobs/fingering/etc) with focuses on the bond between the character rather than the acts they're doing to show it.

Well at least we all agree to be dual gendered it liked that idea of getting Tahenohan pregnant and then getting ourselves pregnant with hers from the rite of fecundity

>>36034840
I'm not sure if that's even possible. Also
>Well at least we all agree
>we all agree
Don't count on it.

>>36034840
>getting ourselves pregnant with hers from the rite of fecundity

Anon, that's (probably) not how it works. You still need a something sperm to fertilize the egg.

But we can work on this together, if you give something in return.

>>36034877
>I'm not sure if that's even possible.
The rite doesn't specifically state it can allow lesbians to get pregnant, it's something we'll need to test. MP said it was possible over ask.fm

>>36034790
This I am in total agreement with.

So, since it came up while I was still asleep and I actually have a relevant and possibly good, probably terrible, opinion on it: Bryld and open relationships.

Currently, Bryld thinks that a "normal" relationship is between a guy and a girl, judging by her comments in the last thread when we were talking about sexual topics. However, she's also very inexperienced with sex and is sort of sheltered, which could mean that, if carefully handled, she could become more receptive to a sexual relationship with a woman or a relationship with multiple partners. It's not something that will happen overnight, however, because we've already seen how irritated she is by the wererabbit stereotype of them being sexually active and pumping out children constantly.

Side note: I was irritated by all of the repeated interest in Bryld and children, but MP handled that as well as they usually do, so good job for them.

>>36034891
>Anon, that's (probably) not how it works. You still need a something sperm to fertilize the egg.
Typically a human girl can't get impregnated by a shark either.
In short, lolishtar

>>36034840
>Well at least we all agree to be dual gendered
Fuck off. We're futa. What futa means is 100% up to whatever any anon wants it to be. And no, trying to define futa will not go anywhere and will result in the same terrible sperging about people claiming to be experts on vaguely or non-defined words that you see about the exact definitions of netorare/netori/cuckolding/cheating/etc.

>>36034926
Except 'futanari' literally translates to 'hermaphrodite'.

>>36034926
>Futanari (ふたなり?, seldom: 二形, 双形, literally: dual form; 二成, 双成, literally: [to be of] two kinds), is the Japanese word for hermaphroditism,
Seems to be quite accurately defined to me. But hell anon, sure

>>36034921
Nah anon, you're good on all points.
Especially the not happening over night and were-hare breeding thing.

>>36034926

I think he meant gender as in sex, not "man/woman/trans" shit.

>>36034925

Hey, the shark is still male, so there.

>>36034921

Please, no. no polyamorous shit or harem stuff. I don't even want a relationship with bryld.

>>36034950
Except it's also used interchangeably with dickgirl.

Hell, the original pitch was that we had a secret third leg. If we took that literally we'd be a mutant.

>>36034921
I don't want to try anything romantic or relationshipy with Bryld now or for a long time, and only if she and Taheno are okay with it.

I say we just stick to being a good friend and work Taheno into our pants as it were.

>>36034921

Man, all I wanted was to know if she liked children or not, maybe make a few suggestive comments and flirt a bit. I was not expecting the stereotype to be touched on, the question seemed innocent enough.

Also, please no more harems. I just want to tap that bunnybutt for a night or two, not build a relationship with someone who we might not see again after the job is done.

>>36034950
>>36034958|
I didn't think I'd have to explain this, but here we go.
1: We're futanari because random anons voted to be, most of whom were probably trolls back then.
2: Even if you could determine one actual meaning for futa with exactly one combination of genitals, chromosomes, etc, most people still won't know it and have personal ideas and impressions of what a futa is.
3: Because futanari was both a write-in by people with completely different ideas of what it would mean, in a quest played by people with wildly different ideas of what it means, and will never be thoroughly explored in-quest, claiming that we're definitely fitting some exact definition of futanari is futile because it'll just lead to people saying things like 'I disagree, that's not what a futa is', 'what really? Well I don't want to be futa then, discount my vote from thread 1', 'this is fucking bullshit, this isn't what I was promised, fucking futafags are the worst' and much more.
Hence, defining it is simply the road to shitstorms.

>>36034921
>However, she's also very inexperienced with sex and is sort of sheltered
I'd go so far to say she hasn't gone past kisses.
>It's not something that will happen overnight,
100%

I think we should tell her about our cock sooner rather than later though. It would be a bad idea to leave that unattended.

>>36034926
>>36034950
>>36034958
FOR FUCKS SAKE JUST SHUT UP ALREADY ABOUT THIS

/d/ is <<<<< way, now fuck off.

>>36034921
>relationships.

I'd rather have Lillith be single. At most, friends with benefits, but nothing more than that. Yes, even with tahenohan.

>>36035008
>I think we should tell her about our cock sooner rather than later though. It would be a bad idea to leave that unattended.
Why? What possible reason do we have for metaphorically forcing that down her throat?

We're not romantically pursuing her, nor are we going to be.

>>36035028
No thank you.

>>36035002
>most of whom were probably trolls back then.
Speak for yourself anon.

Also, why is this discussion being revived once more?

>>36035028
I think that ship may have sailed anon, not in-story but in the playerbase.

>>36035008
Or we could just keep it a secret. It's a curiosity at most, she won't feel betrayed if we don't whip our cock out at her.

>>36035033
>Why? What possible reason do we have for metaphorically forcing that down her throat?
It's likely we'll be sharing the same bed for heat and security, like we do with Tahenohan, and like she did with Luna.

Now I don't know about you, but I think that's something I'd wanna know before I got hit with morning wood

>>36035028
Nope, we're going Tahe all the way.

>>36035049
Because >>36034840

>>36035066
It's entirely unconnected to that anon.

>>36035028
Yeah nah but I'm going to have to respectfully disagree, we've boarded the nonstop train to Tahenohanville and theres no breaks.

>>36035049
>voted for futa
So you're to blame.

>>36034997
Oh, I agree: I don't want to even attempt to push Bryld into a relationship past friendship until we've spent at least weeks with her. I was just noting some observations regarding her. Speaking of which, two things: she seems to at least subconsciously crave physical closeness (not the same as sexual attraction, pointing this out), judging by how she had clutched onto Lillith's clothes in her sleep, and when we reveal our nature to her (and Luna), we should ease them into it instead of going "surprise! it's a penis!": they're sort of not elves, so they'd probably have a harsher reaction to being surprised than if we just discuss our nature with them.

>>36035059
And also because we're going to be out here with weeks with her, and an accidental reveal seems likely (sleeping, bathing, relieving oneself). Besides, Lillith is making contacts all over the place, she's not going to let a connection to a cartographer go to waste.

>>36035078
I don't regret it, MP's made it both interesting and character building, while not making it the focus for anything in the quest.

>>36035077
>It's entirely unconnected to that anon.
What discussion are you referring to exactly?

>>36035095
The QM may not have made it a focus, but all the shitposting and pointless yet demoralizing arguments you see in this thread and some threads before can be directly blamed on it.

>>36035078
What >>36035095 said.

If you've a problem with it then I respectfully suggest you look elsewhere.

>>36035093
>>36035059
This

>>36035117
No they can't, they cannot be directly blamed on it when the direct cause are a couple retarded anons, indirectly yes perhaps, but that's just false logic anyway, but don't try and be like that anon, it only makes things worse.

>>36035117

Fuck those guys. Lillith is perfectly fine as a character with a penis, theyre just whinning now because they're faggots.

>>36035117
There was about 10-15 posts of that during the actual quest
Far more when the quest wasn't running. Besides, honestly it hasn't been that bad, there's been been far larger problems in other quests from even smaller and insignificant things.

>>36035148
Oh, I don't have a problem with the concept of futa.
I have a problem because it inevitably pulls in futafags like >>36034315 and many posters after, who are the worst fucking smutfags on 4chan.

About the relationships in general, personally I'm not jumping on a train or taking a stance just yet.

Tahenohan is a strange girl, I'd rather we established she really does like us before we board her train properly. (Admittedly, we have plenty of hints for that already, so it shouldn't be too long)

But even then, that relationship may not be like ones we're used to. It could be expected that we enjoy other partners together, find other lovers together, it's hard to tell what Elven culture is like.

>>36035228
You what? That guy isn't one of those guys if you even looked at the comment chain. Far from it in fact

>>36035243
Personally I don't see that as a restriction. I'll be looking to romance Tahe. If she's not interested, oh well, take it from there. If she's willing to have a monogamous relationship, all is well. If she wants something open or polygamous, I will vote against it even if it means no relationship a all, because fuck that.

>>36035228
>Worst poster
You mean he was one of the people who tried to take the burden off of MP and establish people's feelings on the topic so we won't have to argue next thread or later? He seemed pretty nice, if fucking retarded in the way he went about things.

>>36035243
>But even then, that relationship may not be like ones we're used to. It could be expected that we enjoy other partners together, find other lovers together, it's hard to tell what Elven culture is like.
Which is why we should find out, by being in a relationship with Taheno

>>36035255
They brought the whole thing up. They're futafags through and through. Because absolutely nobody who isn't a futafag gives one iota of shit what 'configuration' or whatever we are.

>>36035290
>Because absolutely nobody who isn't a futafag gives one iota of shit what 'configuration' or whatever we are.
I'm a futafag and I prefer 'Schrodingers balls'

>>36035243
I'm all aboard the Tahe train already, just waiting for it to leave the station, its currently taking on water and coal and all the luggage is loaded.

>>36035279
>You mean he was one of the people who tried to take the burden off of MP and establish people's feelings on the topic
>Why the fuck would this be a thing that should be done? It isn't. So what's your point?

>>36035265
I don't see it as a restriction either, I'm just saying that we shouldn't throw all our cards in just yet, especially considering the way MP is portraying sexuality in this quest. Who knows, the two people she had a threesome with could have been lovers like us, they could have been simply whores.

We will have to see, and see how the vote goes.

>>36035282
Sure, I'm not against it.

>>36035265

A monogamous Tahenohan is not Tahenohan.

Monogamy kills the elf (and half elf)

>>36035314
I don't understand your point, one moment you're pointing the guy out as the epitome of evil in the quest, the moment you're ignoring everything I'm saying and disregarding my point that he didn't care about which "configuration" of futa it was, and was instead doing something else completely.

>>36035279
He just spawned a huge, retarded debate and solved nothing. Intentions don't matter, it's your actions that you're judged by.

>>36035339
Nah, we can fuck the monogamy into her.

>>36035307
Well hey there gramps, are you getting your six shooter ready to fight off banditos and injuns? Don'cha know we're using electricity now? Just kidding, I love your post.

>>36035282
This seems the most reasonable course of action.
