Your eyes snap open.

"Wha......?"

You're... lying on your back? And the night sky overhead would imply that you're outside, not to mention the hard ground underneath your legs.

Oh.

That's right.

You and Luciana killed Leopold together, and then you collapsed in her arms (or rather the area in between those arms) before you could give her a victory hug... that much be why you're lying on the ground right now. The ground is hard and cold, but the area underneath your head's rather soft...

"Luciana!" Inaba shouts. "Reinhold awake!"

Long red hair streams down from the girl who's leaning over you, and she meets you with a warm smile.

"Feeling better?" Luciana asks.
"Ugh..." you try and push yourself up, but for some reason your entire body feels heavier than when it was made of metal. "How long was I out for?"
"About five minutes," she replies. "Don't worry, you'll be fine in a bit."

You have to admit that it -is- pretty comfortable here on Luciana's lap. You'd be happy to rest like this all night if at all possible-

"Shit!" you blurt out. "Niklaus and Takamaru!"

Just before Leopold came back for that second round, the building that they were in collapsed! Monique flew off to try and help, but he had yet to come back before you fainted...

"Don't worry, everyone's right here," Luciana says, propping up your body so that you can see Niklaus treating the leg that Monique hurt during the fight with Leopold. And Takamaru's standing off to the side, picking rubble out of his hair.

p.s. ignore the lump on her head.That's just so I don't squish her face when sculpting.

So the last thread I participated in was when Rein got adopted.

Has anything happened since then or will I probably understand what's going on anyway?

>>38321978
That'd be nice, but I'm worried that all of the ash would ruin the reception.

But I think Luciana will insist on doing it in Marconetti, even if it means dealing with Marconetti nobility.

After two weeks of catching up, (still on thread 155) and having lurked in the first three threads. WE'RE DOING IT LIVE.

>>38322160
Nope, we need to press on and look for Vincent before we head back. We can't afford to lose him.

>>38322074
Yeah you'll be fine not like we just chased the guy responsible for the attack across 3 countries.

>>38322200
We can't capture a kingdom by ourselves. And we'd have to go through Marconeti or Perricone.

>>38322212
What attack?

>>38322200

That's about the only thing left. Rescue Vincent. For there own good.

Otherwise Gregory comes.

>>38322246
read the archives

>>38322200
Our group is exhausted, one is wounded, and we have no way to track him. I imagine he'll have smashed half their kingdom before we could do anything anyway.

>>38322064
>>38322099

holy shit

>>38322229
This is not a take over, just a rescue mission. This is our last chance to get him back or I bet that archelon kills him off.
>>38322275
We can still track. Nikouls and the Bunny is here.

>>38322269
You mean the attack in Marconetti?

>>38322308

We likely need a nights sleep regardless.

>>38322308
You track things by following a trail.

There is no trail if the person was moved via instant transposition.

>>38322327
Not at all.

>>38322347
We should at least ask the others if they know anything. Nikalus has got to know something.

>>38322308
To what end though? Only 2 of our group are still combat effective and we've accomplished our current objective.

>>38322347
I'd suggest following the smoke trails, but considering it's night we won't likely be able to do that.

>>38322064
Ooh, nice. I love the folds on the skirt.

>>38322308
First, it's Vincent. If anyone will be alright, it'll be him. And if they managed to deal with Vincent, we won't be much help in our current state.

Secondly, we can't track him by scent. He was teleported, he was never at any of the points between where he was and where he is, he left no scent, there is no trail.

Our ways of finding him are either for Niklaus to do some magic whatchamajabber, or to have someone fly up and look for major tectonic events nearby.

I want us to complete the extra objectives. I don't like to leave loose ends dangling.

>>38322408
We know there a way to see people long distances away using magic, Leo mentioned it.

>writing

>>38322308
I don't think archelon is a massive asshole like that, though it will need to be resolved.

Then we can finish decompressing through the epilogue before going into withdrawal and crying about not getting to play Red Meteor Quest.

>>38322429
Best we could do would be to check if he was ever here, and our ability to do that seems questionable since our mark doesn't have any strong smell like Luci did.

>>38322408
Niklaus may have a 'detect vincent' spell. You never know when a man needs to not be mauled.

>>38322358
>We should at least ask the others if they know anything.
We already know Leopold teleported Vincent to his mansion. The real question is where is said mansion? Was it this building, or is it somewhere in Ancellotta?

>>38322513
I'd imagine that once a man uses you to make a crater, you devise a spell to locate him and measure the distance between you.

>>38322545
It wasn't this building. Otherwise it wouldn't have been standing when we arrived.

What happened to the ownership status of the collar when Leopold died?

>>38322666
Next of kin?

>>38322666
Leo didn't own the collar; he was its custodian for the duration of the operation, since IIRC it's the owner who needs to cast the spell to recall the object.

Which means whoever was given "ownership" needed to be there on the other end in order to swap Vincent through, which means he probably got his face punched in.

>>38322684
Well, that'd be his brother, and he's not half the man he used to be.

>>38322666
Leopold wasn't the owner of the collar, the owner was whoever it was that cast the spell that teleported Vincent away.

I wasnt around for Red Meteor, are we going to keep running quests in this setting once PGQ ends?

So many grim settings, I need an injection of Noblebright to keep the voices away.

Boost really is a hell of a spell. You're so spent that you can't even freaking sit up on your own right now.

"Luciana, could you..." you glance upwards.
"Oh, of course!" she replies cheerily as she pushes you upright, resting her arms around your chest while the back of your head rests against hers.

While this is most certainly a pleasant sensation, you do happen ot have some somewhat pressing questions to ask.

"Are... are they all okay?" you ask. "What the hell happened, anyways?"

Luciana breathes a long sigh.

"Takamaru?" she calls out. "Would you mind relaying to Reinhold what you told me?"

Dutifully, the Princess's bodyguard abandons his hair maintenance and makes his way over to the two of you.

"It is good to see that you are awake," Takamaru says to you with a faint smile. "And... thank you for rescuing the Princess."
"Thank you for helping," you reply. "But... what the hell happened back the in that building?" you ask. "It exploded or caved on or-"
"...oh, that," he sighs. "After you and Monique fled in pursuit of Leopold and the Princess, the flow of guards in the building grew to the point where it was getting difficult to deal with. While Archmage Sucher were more than a match for them, the limited space that we had in which to fight, combined with the... -aggravation- that it was causing led him to do something rash."

Takamaru seems really annoyed just talking about it.

"He cast some sort of spell that made everything extremely heavy, and the entire building collapsed under its own weight," Takamaru says, shaking his head. "With both of us still inside."
"...oh," you mumble.

Yeah, that does sound like the kind of thing that Niklaus would do.

"I managed to use my shikigami to form a shield around us to protect us from the fallen debris, but it took some time to free ourselves once everything settled," Takamaru says. "Monique assisted with that, and we finally managed to get out just as the Princess finished Leopold off with one of her spells.
"She really is the best, huh," you reply, smiling.

Yeah, a stone structure, raising the gravity by 50% or more for the whole thing would be pretty bad.

So those were the reinforcements Leopold was bitching about.

>>38323692
>So those were the reinforcements Leopold was bitching about.
If there had been more reinforcements, maybe the building wouldn't have collapsed.

"I must admit that she is my favorite Princess as well," Takamaru laughs. "...and she tells me that she proposed to you? You accepted?"

Oh God.

"Yeah..." you mumble as a wave of pure embarrassment washes over you.
"Well congratulations," Takamaru laughs. "I am certain that the King will approve of your getting married."
"He'd better," Luciana replies. "If not for Reinhold here, there's no telling what would have happened..."

After some more idle chatter (Takamaru in particular seems to be in an extremely good mood all of a sudden), he steps away to talk to Inaba and leaves the two of you relatively alone for the time being. Tired and relieved and elated and everything else, you simply relax your head against your fiancée's soft bosom and close your eyes.

"Hm?" you reply, to tired to even open your mouth
"You know that we're in the middle of a hostile enemy country, right?"

Oh.

Oh shit.

You try and pull away from Luciana, but you still haven't rested enough to muster up the energy to do so. Luciana laughs at your wasted effort, clearly amused with seeing you squirm like this.

"There's no need to rush, silly," Luciana says, leaning down so that her chin touches the top of your head and begins chanting.

"Oh tired child come home from play, come to rest in my loving arms," Luciana says as her warm breath calls forth glowing red SCript. "But your day is not yet over, young one, so rest now so that you may once again join the others who would leave you behind."

"Restful embrace."

It's as if the crushing fatigue that you were feeling just seconds ago was never there, and your body is once again filled with strength. Surprised and elated, you pull away from Luciana and stand up on your own two feet for the first time in what seems like forever.

Even though it was only like ten minutes ago in reality.

"...thanks for that," you say to Luciana while offering her your hand.
"Well it's not like I could just eave you there helpless, after all," Luciana giggles as you help her up. "And how are you feeling now?"
"Like I just had a full night's sleep," you say.

"Do we have any clue where Vincent was sent? If not, I think we should head back to the castle and deal with the remnants of the invaders."

>>38324430

Find out what everyone else wants to do.

Vincent is still missing, he was sent to Leopolds estate he stated. If we had any idea where that is, we could find it.

This is likely going to be the easiest chance we have to sneak in and get him, after this war is basically going to happen. The boarders will tighten then.

>>38324430

Pow-wow. We've gotta get together as a group and hammer out a plan. The sooner everyone knows Luciana is safe, the sooner they'll feel willing to remove the kid gloves for future ops now that the diplomatically-critical hostage and the enemy mission objective is safe again.

If it gets out that we took Luciana back, though, they're going to transition into using Vincent as the hostage instead. But for now, they're mostly just keeping him in order to make sure he doesn't run around smashing them into pieces for the duration of the primary operation.

>>38324500
>he was sent to Leopolds estate he stated
When was that ever stated?

>>38324521
And that means we need to put a princess back in harm's way? For a noble who outmatches most people?

How the hell would we even find him?

>>38324572
Niklaus, probably.

>>38324430
Probably should get Luci out of the country. Don't need her to be captured again. Or piss off her dad who might be viewing us right now.

>>38324572
We could ask if Niklaus has a way of detecting him, but if he does not we should get the hell out of here.

>>38324430
We could always split.

Send Lucie, Inaba, and Takamaru back home, and the rest of us go onward for Vincent.

>>38324575
Well he can't smell him out. I guess we can ask if he knows some magic trickery but he may need his lab.

>>38324601
We've probably nearly drained or mana supply and spent almost all our scrolls. I don't think that's advisable unless we definitely know where Vincent is kept.

>writing

>>38324601
Honestly, if we're going to split the party we might as well let Nikalus solo this mess. I'm pretty sure Vincent can't one shot KO him anymore, and his new owners will probably release him to make the craters stop.

>>38324430
>>what shall you do now?
We could ask what to do about Vincent. But really we should bring Luci back so Gregory doesn't go full on destructor of worlds because she's gone.

>>38324430
Ask if we have any way of finding Vincent.

If we do, send Takamaru, Luciana and Inaba back home and consider searching for him with Monique and Niklaus (that is, if they even want to come along).

>>38324572
We could try the same thing they did with letting the captured Devil Child "escape", since we know whoever has Vincent must necessarily be the person they entrusted with ownership of the collar, and thus is someone who is a mission-critical conspirator.

They're the only really important person left that we know of (outside of assorted Ancelottan ringleaders), and it's critical for their operations as a whole that they know we took down Leo and brought Luciana back, so sending word back to them is the most important thing for a surviving mook to do.

>>38324625
Even then it would be best to have Takamaru send a message to the castle with an update. We may need some help with this one, assuming we can find Vincent in the first place.

Are there any PGQ lewds yet?

>>38324679
Wait, I thought the collars just cut off someone's magic, not actually co-opting their freewill? If that's the case I'm not sure Vic really needs rescuing.

>>38324721
There was that ReinxTina fanfic someone posted way way back.

>>38324727
>Wait, I thought the collars just cut off someone's magic, not actually co-opting their freewill?
This is correct. I don't know where people are getting the mindcontrol thing from. That type of magic doesn't even exist in this setting.

>>38324727
You're right. It just seems kind of silly to go "Nah, he'll be fine Ramboing his way out from behind enemy lines. Leave the front door unlocked so he can find his way in when he gets back." when we could try and send him some support.

>>38324766
Slave collar kind of seems like a misnomer

>>38324795
Description of use, not necesarially specific function.

>>38324795
It's a collar that slaves wear.
I can't think of a more apt name for it.

>>38324795
They're used to keep slaves in check.

>>38324795
Not really. It's about tricking the world into thinking you own the person, which is the only thing actually required for it to be slavery.

After doing a few stretches to get your blood flowing, you take Luciana's hand and walk over to a piece of rubble that Monique is using as a makeshift seat while Niklaus sees about healing the leg that was trapped earlier.

"Welcome back to the land of the living, Reinhauser," Niklaus says, turning away from Monique to wave at you. "I apologize for not being able to assist in your climactic battle."
"Everything turned out fine in the end," you reply, "so you don't really need to."

And besides, he's the one who led you to her in the first place, not to mention getting you into the building where she was being held.

"You two are doing alright?" you ask.
"I am unhurt," Niklaus replies, "and I just finished healing a minor fracture in your friend here's leg."

You have to admit that it feels strange to have someone actually referring to Monique as your friend.


>[1/?]

>>38324781
Nah, we should go home then grab our brother in law so he can sketch and later paint the history of Vic's deeds destroying a country.

>>38324902
I get the feeling that the people who know how to use spells wouldn't usually be lower class, which is the type of people who usually become slaves

>>38324880
I think the thing that makes them anti-magic is a side-effect of it making the world think they're part of an inanimate object, since inanimate objects aren't something the world would acknowledge as being able to form Script and so on.

I'm mostly curious about what would happen if the collar was placed on a Sealed King wielder, since the world classifies the gestalt of a person and their Sealed King as being an Elemental (which is why they can access its abilities) and obviously the world allows for physical objects (regardless of what they are actually considered within the world's taxonomic system) to still be treated as being Elementals.

>>38324965
>I'm mostly curious about what would happen if the collar was placed on a Sealed King wielder
Man, I want to know this now. And what would happen if we collared a Sealed King.

>>38324813
>>38324841
At the very least, we can put on an old Steve Reeves movie

>>38324932
In most countries Mages are the ones in charge. The collars are to stop slaves from being able to learn magic in the first place. Slaves being able to cast magic would make slave revolts a thousand times worse.

>>38325031
Kek.

>>38325026
If you get collared, you would be considered an object instead of a person to the world.
And I guess objects can't wield Sealed Kings.

>>38325079
But could you still BE a Sealed King? Would the sword just become a "normal" blade if we put a collar on it?

>>38325115
It's already seen as an object.

>>38325115
I guess it's still a Sealed King, but can't use it's powers anymore.

>>38325115
>Mwhahaha, I have enslaved a sword. DO MY BIDDING SWORD

The big question we need to ask is what happens if you unite all the kingdoms into an empire to lure the bezerk fire elemental from the north out and collar it.

Im not wrong about there being an unsealed fire elemental in the North, right?

>>38325115
It would presumably appear to be a normal blade in everyway (besides any visual fanciness sealed kings have) with no abilities to cast spells or communicate magically, however the spirit within it would still be intact, just with no way to interact with the outside world.

>>38325079
I assumed that would be the logical case if you tried to pick up a Sealed King for the first time while collared, but if you were already using one at the time the collar was applied you'd already have been the same entity as the Sealed King in the eyes of the world. And they don't have any problem being both an object and an entity as far as the world is concerned.

It's why I thought the question was worth asking about as a thought experiment.

"I'll be fine as well," Monique says as he puts his bot back on and stomps on the ground a few times with his newly-healed leg. "So what now?"
"Hm?" you tilt your head.
"You're able to stand once again, so what's our next plan of action?" he asks.
"...oh," you sigh. "That's actually what I was about to ask you guys."

After Luciana waves Takamaru and Inaba over, you continue talking.

"We could leave now," you say, "but Sir Vincent was also captured... I already dragged you guys out here with me so I don't think it would be right to plan our next move without consulting you first."
"Wherever the Princess goes, I shall follow," Takamaru says, crossing his arms. "Be it travelling deeper into this Godforsaken country to rescue Sir Vincent or flee to your home."

You were expecting that.

"...they actually..." Monique gasps. "LEOPOLD did that!? How!?"
"Substitution," Luciana replies. "Leopold stuck a slave collar onto him that was originally meant for me, and he was then substituted with a straw effigy."
"Of all the..." he shakes his head. "King Thierri hasn't sent the Army in to invade this country? His best friend's been kidnapped!"
"They're busy fighting off an invasion back home," you reply.

I weep for Greg

>>38325206
Thats the idea, lure him out and collar him. You now can slam him in a comidically large lantern and laugh at him for all eternity.

Or until one of your children falls for a rebellion leader's roguish good looks, smashes said comedically large lantern and frees the extremely dangerous fire elemental kept therein rendering your entire castle to ash.

>>38325223

>>38325247

>>38325223
>I weep for Greg
Next time you feel compelled to weep for Greg, think about the fact that Ariane went far out of her way to get him to pursue her, which more than makes up for any other stuff you might want to pity him for.

>>38325262
>think about the fact that Ariane went far out of her way to get him to pursue her
She's the one who pursued him. The entire way.

Vincent is dense, Gregory is tsun.

>>38325285
That's what I was saying, yeah.

>>38325285
Short story about Ariane pursuing Gregory when?

>>38325296

"So it's up to us, then?" Monique asks. "In that case, I vote to continue on until we can at least find a surviving soldier from whom we can get some information from."
"And what does Setsuranka say?" you ask.
"......" Monique looks off into the distance and rolls his eyes. "...she says that I had better not run off on my own and get myself killed in this hellhole, as she has no interest in choosing a new master so soon, and especially not one from this country's populace."

You can't help but laugh.

"What about you, Niklaus?" you ask.
"I harbor no sentiment of friendship for Sir Meathead," Niklaus replies. "But since I do see -you- as my friend," he says, pointing at you, "I suppose I would be willing to go along."
"Thanks."

Only two more to go...

"I go help!" Inaba says, raising her fists in the air. "Save Valerie's papa!"

Her enthusiasm forces a smile on your face.

To be honest, if Luciana wasn't such a badass with an adventure-boner, I'd want to send back Takamaru and Inaba with Luciana and go on with Monique and Niklaus.

This gets the princess back safely, which is priority one, and also lets us try to find Vincent.

On the other hand, I don't think Luciana would go, or she'd at least be super pissed at us.

>>38325524
I though I was respecting her boundaries.
Now I truly see the errors of my past.

>>38325476

Absolutely not, the princess is not going into hostile enemy territory.

Inaba, Monique and Takamaru take her back.

Nicholas and I will go on ahead.

>>38325476
>>let's go
"...so do any of you have a better idea plan than wandering around in enemy territory forever in hopes of spotting a slowly-growing area of burning buildings?"

Also, we should absolutely send word back to the palace (via a letter written, and then sent by Takamaru) so that they know to send us reinforcements as soon as it becomes feasible. If we can get in and find Vincent, I'd much prefer knowing we will be hightailing it out to the comfort of a regiment of friendly soldiers instead of trying to make the whole return trip on our own with enemies in pursuit.

>>38325557

>Am i the only one who thinks that trying to attack something that is supposed to hold down Vincent is far a bigger bite that we can chew on ?
Except it *wasn't* designed to hold Vincent. Just one of the royal brats.

Odds are whatever confinement was in place is busted wide open and we probably just need to back up Vincent's escape.

>>38325529
>Also I'm really touched Niklaus considers us a friend.
We may very well be his best friend.

He was pretty much completely cut off from the rest of the castle when Reinhold arrived and then he went from being secluded-loner-mage to having regular visitors.

>>38325662
Of course it's not a good idea. It more or less invalidates the whole rescue operation. Still, the shitshow this is about to turn into might almost be as entertaining as the (now non-cannon) Good End we might have had.

>>38325662
This is the one of the most retarded decision in the entire quest honestly arch should have realized that we are too stupid to resist this idiocy.

>>38325662
Well, their main plan revolved around their two Earth Contractor double-agents. Both of their trump cards are out of the game now, and I'm fairly sure that now we have a full party, getting the drop on us as they did before isn't going to be so easy.

>>38325662
We're not going to be able to send her back. She won't go. Plus it'd just be her and Taka in the middle of hostile territory. Taka may be a walking human food processor but I dont think he could escourt Luci all the way back to safety.

>>38325703

And so far they appear to have been the only threat that this shithouse nation was capable of mustering, considering that they fell over themselves to pay out the ass to give those dumb hillbilly Contractors not only military training, but magic training, and then to educate them and teach them etiquette as well.

Please, Rein will survive long enough to see Luci run out of the sactuary and immediately get struck down.

I'm pretty much agreed with Monique's assessment that we should stick around to see if we can find a lead, but that it isn't worth committing to a wholehearted 6-men-and-a-sword invasion of Ancellotta to invent Saving Private Vincent unless we can find something solid to go on.

Interrogating an enemy kidnapper is not something solid, since they just get to point us toward a location of their choice full of enemy soldiers and hope they can finish the job.
