You find yourself sitting on the floor, leathery wings wrapped around your torso. Despite being a newborn, Zahak's wings are already large enough to envelope your upper body entirely. You can only imagine the size they'll grow to once he actually begins flying. They'll need to be absolutely massive to support his eventual, presumably titanic weight. Though you suppose some of the difficulties inherent in flight can be alleviated to a degree with magic, using fire magic to create updrafts or some such.

You're roused from your thoughts by Zahak bumping the top of his head into your cheek. Were his horns not nubby little protrusions of bone at the moment it might have hurt, but you get the feeling that it's more of an affectionate gesture than anything else. You scratch at the base of his horns briefly, before wreathing your hand in flame and running it along his flank. You're not sure why he seems to enjoy that. Perhaps mothers bathe young dragons in flame or something like that?

You try to extricate yourself from your dragon, but it's having none of it. You pick up curiosity, a wish to learn, ambition. These emotions and desires mix together, seeming to pervade your dragon's thoughts. It wants to know how you did what you did, how you made copies of yourself. It wants to know more about Fire magic, and the sort of magic it saw Aunty using. Unfortunately, you're not entirely sure who it thinks its 'Aunty' is. You're assuming Chrys, since that's who it's spent the most time with besides yourself. Then again, you don't think she's cast any magic in your dragon's presence.

Once we teach Zak how to speak, we can work on properly conveying to him the steps on meditation.

>>36209616
>You're going to have a real hard time communicating until he learns to talk. Start trying to teach him words.
I kind of don't want him surpassing us.

>>36210064
He's a dragon it's going to happen eventually

>>36210064
>I kind of don't want him surpassing us.
He already does, he can easily kill us with out magic and his fire magic is at master.

>>36210117
>he can easily kill us with out magic
uhh that's just wrong.

If it came down to it we could kill him.

>>36210117
Not really, Soma said on his ask that he's weaker than us and our magic is better than his overall.
Still, he's pretty close.

>>36209616
>You're going to have a real hard time communicating until he learns to talk. Start trying to teach him words.
Do we even know if dragons can meditate, or is it all instinctual?

>>36210117
He's got raw magical strength equal to us.

And absolutely zero experience

>You're going to have a real hard time communicating until he learns to talk. Start trying to teach him words.

We'd destroy him

Not if we had our spear.

But the point is moot anyway we're a physically weak species.

>>36210064
>>36210117
>>36210153

His abilities in fire magic seen to be base solely base on instinct. There is a lot we can teach him Vatis and Vys related. Even if he is more or less our equal in fire our abilities on Water, Earth, Metal and Nature are beyond him for a likely extended period of time.

>>36210214
we would stomp him, but why are you even bringing it up?

Plus Water > Fire.

>>36210249
We do need to teach him to meditate eventually. But first basic civilized skills like speaking

That's like teaching your child martial arts before how to use the toilet properly.

>>36210214
Nah, Mik could still beat him, Soma confirmed him to be weaker than Mik, not too mention Mik knowing some marsala-whatever and his spear.

>>36210301

Oh I agree, I just making a point that we could spend months teaching him everything we know now and by them we could have pick up more skills to teach him. He will still be looking up to us for a good time.

>See if you can't take some time to teach him the basics of meditation.

Great way to multitask.

Rolled 14 (1d20)

Do ya'all remember how everyone was panicking about the ones we were getting as we rolled dice for the loot tables? And now we've got a the treasury of a small nation and top-tier vatis armor, as well as top tier combat armor for soldiers. Funny how these things work out.

On the contrary, this is mostly for our haggling/diplomacy skill.
We get more from a regular success than an assisted great success, also fudging a roll is better than spending to make it a reg failure(at least for skill growth)

You write a word preceded by a # and it generates a series of numbers and letters. Soma made the mistake of not using random numbers/letters.

>>36211994
you can either use a trip generator or make up a random one with words after the #.
Obvously the former is more secure than the lateer since this would be the 2 or time his had to change trips.

One of his first was UPdown. Someone just stumbled on that by accident.

Though there are few cases that can be done to argue against it, but than again you can use the civil courts to bankrupt the criminal instead of sending them to jail.

Mate, I doubt he can even use a brooch, I mean, Is he even fucking consistently corporeal? Does he have blood? Does his vys work the same as ours? Will he be able to filter his incomprehensible void being thoughts to us with out making us going insane or dying?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legal_status_of_cartoon_pornography_depicting_minors#United_Kingdom
>The Coroners and Justice Act of April 2009 (c. 2) created a new offence in England and Wales and Northern Ireland of possession of a prohibited image of a child. This act makes cartoon pornography depicting minors illegal in the UK. This Act did not replace the 1978 act, extended in 1994, since that covered "pseudo-photographs"—images that appear to be photographs. In 2008 it was further extended to cover tracings, and other works derived from photographs or pseudo-photographs.[39] A prohibited cartoon image is one which involves a minor in situations which are pornographic and "grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character."

Wiki was just the first result, feel free to dive deeper.

>>36212950
What?
Just suggesting something.

>>36212932
No, it's a waste of time, and it's almost a worse idea than putting on the mask.
I mean, the possible risks are the brooch getting destroyed, Mik going insane, the brooch network getting destroyed, Mik getting posessed, and probably some other shit.
So, no.

>>36212943
What? What are you concerned about exactly?

>>36212969
A really terrible fucking idea.
And also you're not letting it go despite people pointing out the obvious fucking flaws in it.

>>36212963
>grossly offensive, disgusting or otherwise of an obscene character."
That is so interpretable it's not even funny.

Half of Adult Swim would be banned.

Ricky understands use just fine and has done what we require of him perfectly without any problems. There haven't been any instances of miscommunication between us. There is no need to give him brooch.

It isn't his, and its not like we're splitting the loot with him, and I don't see him attacking us for it; the worst I could see is him acting like a little shit for not getting any.

Yeah no point in waiting halfway through him writing.

Just makes the time we waited pointless.

Apparently while doing this thread sears prices glitched out and have their Nintendo stuff dirt cheap, so by going to Walmart/best buy and price matching you could have gotten either a wii u bundle for 60$ or a 3ds bundle for 60$.

I misread that.

Hey if soma does puzzles in the quest, should he do Professor Layton tier puzzles?

>>36213417
He did one with in the mask with the god statue.
It was more of a trivia thing I guess.

How do you guys feel about heading to the village and buying Ricky some food?
Gives us an excuse to train our haggling.
and just generally restock on food/rations for ourselves.

>>36213447
I thought it was pretty basic since it just wanted us to stick out hands into the hole.

>>36213452
nah, fuck ricky, he just ate some dudes, he should be good for a while

I was hoping to finish reading the metal codex today. How about we do shopping tomorrow?

>>36213466

>>36213452
Speaking of, I think we need to get Zak some more live stock

>>36213502
We really need to finish all the books on loan from the library. Mix in some combat training so it's interesting to read.

>>36213527
Couldn't we just cut off our arm and then regrow it repeatedly?

>>36213502
That's what I was hoping on doing but it seems we're gonna get side tracked with Zahak
>>36213527
Yeah he did hatch like 1 day ago no telling how much he'll need

>>36213553
that sounds stupid.

>>36213527
We should teach him to sustain himself on vys.

>>36213473
1.As a reward for being so damn awesome.
2. We need to get out haggeling skills up.
+4 isn't going to cut if we have to deal with Kadir any time soon.
It would also be in our best intrest to not be a dick, and turn his modifier from(I think -6) to atleast a -2 at worst. So when we need him for something he won't be a complete dick about it.
I am sure we could get there, especially if we mention saving his sister from bandits, and showing him w.e she gave us back then.

>>36213556

We do this and get back to reading.

>>36213553
We could actually get some livestock and constantly regrow it and mess with it as some sort of experiment.
Maybe in transformation?

>>36213553
Yeah, and give him a taste for Samjan flesh. No thanks

>>36213567
Less stupid than herding around goats all the time.

>>36213604
Or teach him to do such things himself and have him never ever starve.

that would be a cool meditation to try and heal things instantly, like regrowing lost limbs in seconds before the animal can bleed out.
Also saves us money... And practice into instant healing.
>>36213647
pretty good isn't enough when we really want something and don't have the vys for it. Like when we were dealing with the Water spirit.

Anyhow, I am hopfull to finish reading the metal codex as well.
I say we put the books we borrowed as a priority.
ORRRR we can have fulvia scan them?
I don't understand why we don't have fulvia on full scan duty scanning every single book we may like to read for the next few days we have left.

>>36213762
Probably because she has other stuff to do honestly.

when he gets tired of scanning fulvia can take over.

Ricky is my number one mistress

You urge your dragon to get off of you, mentally. Eventually it relents, but only after you promise to teach it something cool. Well, that's not quite accurate. You give it the vague impression of something cool happening in the near future, you didn't quite understand how to properly conceptualize teaching. You try to focus on the transfer of knowledge but you just got a sense of confusion and a vague fear in response.

You decide to go about teaching your dragon to speak, since communicating solely via emotions and urges is difficult. You start with the simple stuff. You point to yourself and say. “Papa. Paaapaaa.” You compliment this by focusing on a mental image of yourself, the memory of Zahak hatching, and the concept of paternity.

Perhaps it's merely because it's a concept he already understands, but Zahak seems to pick up on it pretty quickly. {Papa!} It compliments this by bumping its head into your knee from where it's seated in front of you. You reward it by scratching at the base of its horns.

You decide to go through this same process with a few items around the room. Unfortunately, once you get past the words 'ash', 'bed', 'friend', and 'door' you're more or less out of things to go through. That is, until an idea occurs to you. You've got twelve crates sitting in your cloak just waiting to be pried open and exploited for a lesson just like this one. You've no idea what might lie inside, but that just means it will be an adventurer for everyone involved!

>>36213872

>>36213844
Mortia
But I'm fine with Mik marrying just Chrys and Darzi too, I guess

You whip off your cloak and lay it flat against the ground, permeable surface facing the floor. When you whip it away, a crate sits in its place. It's large, and sealed with bright red wax. The symbol of El-Amin has been burned into the wood and stamped into the wax. You do this four more times, laying out each crate in succession. Your dragon gets quite excited by this trick of yours, and charges around the room after you so it can watch every time. Once you've got all four laid out you hold out a hand and let a blast of fire roil across the surface of the crate, quickly melting the wax.

This excites Zahak even further. He joins you, letting out a blast of flame which incinerates the top of a crate completely, rather than just melting the wax. You praise him gently, but scold him for being so reckless. He'll need to be more careful if he wants to use Fire magic for anything but killing things. You show him again on the next crate, this time using less heat so the wax melts slower and he can get a good look at what you're doing.

You also take the opportunity in the meantime to try and teach him the concepts and words for both 'wax', 'melt', 'crate', 'fire', and various other things. You're not sure how well he understands, but it IS just his first lesson after all. You've got plenty of time to teach him. Once the wax is melted you extract the nails that pin the lid to the crate with metal magic and lift the lid with nature. Your wide ranging talents seem to impress Zahak greatly, if his thoughts are any indication.

Finally you get a peak inside the crate. What you find confuses you, at first. It's fish. Loads and loads of fish, from what you can tell. Your dragon seems quite pleased, as he quickly grabs one between his jaws and lays down on the floor with it, tearing off a long strip of flesh. However, in the process of doing so he reveals something beneath.
(2/5-7)

>>36213859
i dropped that quest literally the very moment i realized they were going to choose shit princess.
the cheesy slice of life and poorly written anime style fight scenes werent enough to keep me invested, at that point

>>36213909
more like 4, don't kid yourself.

You reach into the crate and withdraw a bundle covered in wax paper. Peeling it away you find a lump of some blackish-brown, sweet smelling, oily substance. You rub your finger along the surface and bring the residue that rubs off to your nose, inhaling deeply. Immediately a sense of relaxation, contentedness, and the vague desire for a nap strike you. The smell itself brings to mind memories of your Master's study, and the thick blue smoke that hung everywhere in the air.

This is some really, really high quality opium. This would sell for a god damned fortune in the right place.

You check the other three boxes. The crate that Zahak scorched the top off is packed on top with a heavy iron sheet. Pulling this away, you find bolts of fine seasilk. It's still the undyed brown of natural seasilk, but running your hand along the fibers you find it to be unbelievably soft. This too would sell for a fortune, and you seem to have quite a lot of it. Fortunate that they separated each layer with a iron sheet.

The first box you melted the wax off of and the last box you pulled out of your cloak both contain more fish, and beneath that more opium. You seal the lids back onto each of the crates to avoid your dragon getting a taste for the drug, fortunately the fish it nabbed doesn't seem to have been contaminated or stuffed with any of the substance. The last thing you need is a doped up dragon.

You go through the process of teaching it the concepts and words for fish, opium, sea, ocean, silk, and various other terms. You also try to teach it a little about value, but it seems more concerned with gnawing on the head of the fish it grabbed from one of the crates. Regardless, you drape your cloak over each resealed crate and in a moment each one vanishes within, much to Zahak's amazement.

(3/5-6)

>>36213876
I could have phrased that better. She has a life expectancy of about 60, and that's relatively soon.

You lay out five more crates, each one identical to the previous three. This time Zahak helps you melt the wax off the tops without burning off the top of the crate entirely. You're lucky the flame burned hot enough that it just reduced the wood to ash, rather than actually setting anything on fire. The smoke would really be a problem right now if that had been the case.

Carefully, you remove the nails from each crate using Metal magic. When you push aside the lid from the nearest crate, you find inside incense, and lots of it. Fragrant woods, sweet smelling herbs, dried flowers, oil extracts, all kinds of substances used both for religious ceremony, public festivity, and private decoration. In Pidjata, these likely wouldn't sell for much. Pidjata is where these sorts of goods are produced, after all. Then again, the same is true of the opium. Both the incense and the drugs would likely sell better to the North, in the successor states.

The next lid you open is not full of incense, but rather iron ore. Not particularly valuable, but it might be good for barter if you can find the right buyer. You find two full crates if raw ore, perhaps a hundred pounds in all. You'd want to talk to a blacksmith if you wished to sell it, you imagine.

(4/5-6)

>>36213937
>This is some really, really high quality opium
kek

>>36213937
Opium was used as a "cough" remedy for fussy children. Who knows. Might be useful.

The last two crates you extracted contain something altogether different. Wiring. It looks as though someone went through a Rhynian facility and stripped out all of those strange bundles of black cords that run along the corners of buildings. It's all coiled neatly into bundles stacked on top of one another or pressed into the sides of the crates. You must have hundreds upon hundreds of feet of the stuff. Skull Kid ought to be thrilled.

You go through the process of explaining what everything is to Zahak. Wires, iron, ore, metal, you go off on a long tangent about Metal magic that you doubt Zahak understands a lick of. Once you've explained everything you can think of, you pack each of the crates you have out away, letting them slide into your cloak with Ricky's help.

Finally you lay out your last three crates on the floor. You're eagerly looking forward to what you might find inside, especially considering everything that you've found so far. Between yourself and Zahak you make quick work of the wax seals, and then you set about extracting the nails from the wood. When you push aside the lid of the nearest crate, you find inside... junk. Junk parts from a dozen different artifacts. You note a few shattered remnants of an Archeota, a few things that might have once been the gem you have embedded in your Shockwave Sword. None of it works though. It's just useless junk. Each of the three crates is filled with the stuff. Why would someone pack and ship this?
(5/6)

You explain to Zahak the concepts of worth, and lack thereof. You also talk about the concept of a part, and how parts can come together to form a greater whole. You're not sure how much he understands, but regardless you reseal each crate and let your cloak pull them back inside.

So it seems like some sort of group hunting trip is preferred. You'll take Chrys along with you after dropping off the wires and junk with Skull Kid and Fulvia. If you'd like to bring anyone else, say so.
