You turn to Aylin, adopting a serious expression as you rest a hand on her shoulder. Switching from Samjan to Rhynian, you pose a question. “Do you wish to attend this Academy? If so, I'd be willing to cover your enrollment fee. Assuming Suresh was willing to negotiate some sort of payment plan.” You glance towards Suresh, and he nods his head. You turn your attention back to Aylin. “However, if you're not sure you can always come with me back to my estate. I have plenty of room for you, if that is indeed what you choose.”

Aylin glances around the room, before turning her attention to Suresh. “You'll teach me how to do magic, how to defend myself, right?”

Suresh shrugs his shoulders. “I suppose that's sort of what we do here. We're not really teaching self defense necessarily but what we teach could certainly be used for self defense, or the defense of others, or even for attacking people. We're not here to teach you morality, though we'd certainly prefer you use what we teach you for the public good. We're here to teach you magic.”

Aylin seems to consider this deeply for a moment, before ultimately nodding her head. “Very well.” She turns her attention to you. “I would like to attend here, though I thank you for your kindness. At least here I will be amongst my own people, even if their customs are strange and many of their gods alien.”

You ruffle her hair. “I'm sure we'll be seeing more of one another. It's not like I never visit. In fact I swing up this way on a semi-frequent basis.” You turn to Suresh. “So how much is the cost of enrollment? I've taught her a few things, how to channel vys for instance. I think she mostly figured it out.” You glance to her for confirmation, and she nods. You feel her wrench away a segment of her vys and push it into her arm, though she doesn't do anything with it. “Well, I taught her the basics. You'll need to work through the finer details.”

Suresh leans back, steepling his fingers. It's then that the door opens and a servant walks in with a tray bearing a tea pot, a plate of small sandwiches with some sort of meat, cheese, and pickled vegetables from what you can tell, and a plate of sugar cookies. The servant, a young Elven girl, sets the tray down before retreating. Aylin descends upon the cookies with a vengeance, while you take a sandwich. Suresh focuses on pouring tea and passing a saucer to you before grabbing a sandwich for himself.

Between bites, Suresh explains the enrollment fee. “Usually the price is a hundred gold per student. That covers the cost of several sets of robes, any books she might require, her accommodations, and her meals for a year. As well as a fee that goes to pay the teachers. Next year you'll need to pay another hundred gold, and another the year after that. So on and so forth until her graduation. Now, you can pay multiple years at once if you so choose.”

Shit, that's more costly than you were expecting. Before you can speak, Suresh holds up a finger to beg pause. “For students who show exceptional potential, and I believe that she does. She grasped the basics of channeling in the space of a few days. Anyway, we offer them a special deal. Instead of a hundred gold, it's only twenty gold. That's purely to pay the teachers. We cover the cost of everything else. Since you're presently broke, I could reasonably accept some sort of partial payment until you get back your funds. Either from you, a friend, in the form of barter, in the form of assets, it's your choice.”

>>40082810
Yeah, fo' sho'. If people vote for it.

>>40082808
We have the master test, the human chick, and books to read/meditate on shit.

>>40082828
I absolutely want to do this

>>40082828
Can we offer some insight into how the mind works or what is the mind to the Archmagos?

>>40082828
Can we have story time, I want story time with new and improved magic special effects

>>40082829

Can you shitpost for us soma?

>>40082863
we might have a tailfull in the cloak

>>40082862
Why

>>40082863
We have a tails worth.
Speaking of that though, how do we explain this to zahak? Bitch nigga thought he was big shit and then papa's friends whooped his ass

>>40082859
I agree. It is pointless but I'd rather not offer a % of the profits for Seige!.

>>40082914
It's not a percentage it's 20 gold per year

>>40082875
Then so is master. You talking shit about master?

Soma said in the previous thread no more tail in the cloak.

>>40082903
Dragon got killed because he was killing cityfolk.

>>40082894
not the guy, but doing the test in El-Amin gives access to stuff doing the test in Anthus wouldn't.
Check the thread where Karim buys the special key for the cat for detail

>>40082945
Nah, you got the tail. It's in there, just inaccessible.

And you also have 8 scales in a bag that Suresh made you.

>>40082938
yes.

>>40082949
Why not post the details fuck head? The burden of proof is on you

>>40082946
Yeah, it's a good morality lesson for a baby. "This is what happens when you're a dick," and then plop out the tail

Unless Soma goes full MH drop list and place some bullshit "Heavenly Ruby" on the carcass, a tail from the body should have the same "magical" properties as a tail from somewhere else.

Shit maybe we should have tried regrowing the damn body and loot the shit out of it as long we had to juice to regrow it...

>>40083044
You can't heal something dead, it has no sense of self. Also sand wurm scales decay within hours, shits fucked up in banished land

>>40083044
Dumb

Soma! Would letting Suresh know about what we saw when experimenting with our mind/soul trident help him distinguish the two?

You pull out the tattered remnants of your cloak. “If you're willing to wait for a few days, I should be able to pay you the twenty gold. My cloak seems to be slowly repairing itself so hopefully it won't take any more than a few days. If I can get the money beforehand, I'll be sure to pay you.” You could probably sell the dragon scales for a pretty penny, considering you only saw peasants trying to pry them off. You presume nobody with actual power took any interest in doing so.

Suresh nods, focusing for the moment on chewing the last vestiges of his sandwich and washing it down with a polite sip of tea. “That sounds more than agreeable. We can start getting Aylin situated in a room and get her a set of robes today. Then if she changes her mind about attending here you can always pull her out.” He stands, bowing first to you and then to Aylin. “Feel free to enjoy the meal, I believe that I ought to get some sleep. A pleasure meeting with you Mikhael, as always.”

He sounds exhausted, but before he leaves you get his attention. “Before you go, I have a question and a bit of advice. I'll start first with the question. When can I take my test to earn a Grandmaster's robes?”

Suresh sinks back into his seat, scratching his chin in thought. “Well, all the judges are here and I have your opponent picked out. What time is it right now?”

You glance towards the skylight, narrowing your eyes and trying to assess the time based on the color of the sky. You give up after a few seconds. “I'm not really sure, being honest. Last I recall it was about two o'clock by my reckoning. Probably a little after now. Maybe three, at most.”

Suresh shakes his head. “Too late to get started, then. Besides, I'm sure most of the judges will be teaching classes. Tomorrow, if you're feeling up to it. We could get started tomorrow.”

(1/2)

You snag a cookie, inspecting it for a moment before scarfing it. Once you've swallowed, you offer some advice. “Wonderful, glad to hear it. Now, allow me to discuss my explorations in Metal magic, they may help you with your research.” He leans forward with curiosity burning in his eyes. Seems you've got his attention. “In my experience the mind is easily affected by the soul, and vice versa. The soul contains memories, emotions, and all the elements of your personality while the brain contains vital functions. This is my belief, at least. Thus, the mind must arise from the interplay between the brain and the soul. At least, that's what I think. Perhaps pursuing this path might offer you some insight into your research.”

At first there's nothing, he's just staring at you through bloodshot eyes, unwashed hair half obscuring his face. Then realization dawns on him and he pushes himself to his feet. You hear a mumbled thank you before he's making his way up the stairs with determined strides. Seems he thinks your idea is worth investigating.”

You stand, patting Aylin on the shoulder and gesturing for her to follow you as you head for the door. She snags another handful of cookies before doing so. When you open the door, you find the same Elven girl that brought out the tray standing stiffly to one side. “If you'll allow me sir, I'll take your...” She glances between you and Aylin, quirking an eyebrow. “Slave?”

You cut her off with a sharp gesture. “She's just a girl I rescued from a dragon attack on a village to the east.”

The elf clears her throat, nodding. “Of course. I may take her off your hands if you like, or I can show you the rooms she'll be staying in to ensure they're up to your standards.”

You could be fighting for your life in a besieged city against weird fuckers from the farthest north.
But noooo.

We should give/sent Aylin a monthly allowance for her personal needs. It helps kids understand the value of money early on the responsibility that comes with it, specially if we consider that in Aylin's culture money is not use offend.

We could also ask Demetrios to give her part of our Siege! profits monthly and to keep an eye on her.

>>40083738

nigga we are literally his adoptive father
i don't know why you're so opposed to caring about him

>>40083876
Fuck being in character
As long as were fighting monsters and discovering lost Rhynian ruins and having our magical ability pushed to the limit, i dont care about what else you fuckers decide to do.
But every choice weve been presented with for the last 50 threads, you boring cunts always, ALWAYS pick either 'read a book ' 'meditate' or fucking 'call up demetrios and scheme and plot about how much more money we can milk out of seige'
We could be up north fighting for our lives, learning about the warlord (and finally starting that fucking sidequest we picked up months ago about the warlord', and getting a first hand look at those bitching voibardians
But again, you mindless cunts picked ' go home and fucking jerk off into our pile of gold while tentaclewaifu watches'

>>40084369
you sir.

>>40084396
ALL ABOARD THE TUMBLR TRAIN, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. SUMMON THE JANITOR! HE LOVES TUMBLR.

>>40084268
Well at least they have motivation. What is our motivation?
Profit? Already rich. Lots of gear.
Power? Read books. Meditate.

Would we at this stage re-enter the mines? Are we saner?

Sitting on our hoard and sleeping our way to power is the most "rational" choice even if it is the most boring. So how are we insane/crazy?

You glance towards Aylin, before shrugging. “Show me to the rooms, I guess. May as well make sure you're not cramming her into a box.” You're relatively certain the student dormitories are near Hayes' workshop, so it's on the way to begin with. No reason not to take a quick peek inside.

You and Aylin follow the elf down the stairs and through the halls of the Academy, passing lounging students talking amongst themselves about a wide range of topics. You hear a few whispered remarks about 'that crazy guy' or 'the Samjan Vatis' or 'the guy with the shitty cloak'. You take offense to that last one. Your cloak is not shitty, just damaged. It'll be pristine again in just a few days, hopefully.

It's sort of odd to be famous, or perhaps infamous would be more appropriate. Eventually you reach a doorway near Hayes' workshop and the elf pushes it open, leading you and Aylin up the stairs. When you reach the top you find yourself in some sort of student lounge, doors on either side marked 'Girls' and 'Boys'. You're led into the girls dormitory, attracting a few odd looks from the students.

The hallways are mostly empty at this hour so it doesn't take long to reach an unmarked doorway. The elf taps an empty rectangular frame. “We'll have a plaque put up here with your name on it, to mark this room as yours.” She remarks before pushing the door open and stepping aside to allow you and Aylin inside.

The room is a bit bare bones. The bed looks comfortable, and there's a desk with an oil lamp sitting on it. There's also a chair, and a few tools you presume will be useful for their classes. Lots of measuring devices, an abacus, that sort of thing. They're just stacked in a corner on a shelf. Seems it's a single room, so she won't have a roommate. “Seems nice enough. You'll likely want to decorate it a bit, make it a little more personalized.”

(1/2)

>>40084396
Right, I already said faggots

>>40084325
The Spread is supposed to be it's own meta btw

>>40084325
if we do this we could also start growing forests in the deserts so we won't need to get all our wood from other places for our fleet

Aylin glances at you briefly before nodding. “Yes, I'll need to go looking for some bolts of cloth, to make it feel more like my room back home. Drape them from the ceiling. Perhaps a new cover on the bed. The fur of some sort of great beast. It is good enough, though. I thank you for doing this for me.” She turns towards you, seeming to debate something internally before stepping forward and giving you a tight hug. You return the gesture briefly before the two of you separate.

The elf ushers you out of the girl's dormitory and down into the halls. You're left to your own devices after that, so you wander into Hayes' workshop. The doors are closed, which is odd. They weren't a moment ago. You try the handle and find they're unlocked, so you let yourself in. The workshop is empty and the forge is cold. However, as you take a few steps into the room you note that the passage in the far wall leading to the Vault of Anthus, where you first met the three stooges, is opened.

>Enter the Vault.
>Poke around the workshop.
>Wait patiently for Hayes to return.

>>40084438

>>40084366
Maybe not that specific combination, but the idea certainly has merit. A Spread metamagic is definitely something that could happen.

Enter the vault. No, don't enter. Strut. Swagger. Demand repairs (and the ring).

>>40083842
I still don't regret putting on the mask, or taking the spice, and I never will.

>>40084509
This is a bad idea
do it

>>40084518
We have no money

>>40084493
Not really but we're getting there.

>enter room
>arms ripped off

>>40084526
But we have dragon parts.
We traded a dragon part for one ring, we can do it again!

>>40084530
if we follow the plan we will be on the way there at least

>>40084543
>We traded a dragon part for one ring
We didn't. That was the deal with killing the Shah.

>>40084526
Void monsters. Probably don't want money.
>>40084521
You'd be some sort of maximum jew if you did. People always want the safe boring option.

>>40084509

I'm honestly surprised you didn't have us roll to not be sucked into a void-portal when we broke the cloak.

>>40084562
I just want Magic Mik to go down in history as the craziest and ballsiest samjan ever

>>40084567
>People always want the safe boring option.
Because natural selection eliminates those that don't.

>>40084582
'The plan' will have him remembered as a fucking farmer.

>>40084591
You're on a text board playing a quest. This isn't the real world. This is supposed to be fun. Sure, we could not put on the mask - and then lose a plot hook. Or we could leave the magic cocaine alone - and lose the most hilarious mastery exam ever.

>>40084566
Nah, that was from using the cloak
We traded papa dragons phylactery to the spirit to cover varvars deal with it, it gave us the ring to balance things out iirc
>>40084591
then it's a good thing this isn't our actual life
>>40084599
fuck "the plan"
We go to the desert, we go to the jungle.
We learn magic, go crazy, and make money.
The end.

>>40084599
If that's what you really believe you haven't read shit and should kill yourself for being so dumb you can't into a simple quest correctly.

>>40084613
The mask was definitely a bad idea, but a lot of really enjoyable things have come out of it, I'd put it on again
think Hayes still has the mask sitting around somewhere?

>>40084648
Hayes probably is the dead god. And the primary world manufacturer of magic coke.

And Pani.

which he will by becoming the richest in the country and controlling most of the water and food food supply and then building a big fleet armed with cannons built from the forest he magically grew using a meta he came up with himself

>>40084673
Are you sure? You wouldn't like to discuss the ramifications of queer theory on the modern facist economy a little? We have a good half hour before Soma drops the next post.

>>40084660
Good thing we left all of our weapons and magically took our armor off inside of it, so now we are defenseless in both arms and armor.

>>40084698
because that is totally going to happen.

You glance around, eyeing the artifacts on display for a moment, before entering the tunnel. It's dark, but you don't want to risk creating a ball of light lest you give away your position to some sort of creature lurking in the black. You don't feel anything through the vague field of extrasensory perception that Nature magic affords you.

It isn't long before you emerge into a vast chamber covered in glowing crystals. They're inundated with vys, you think they might be sucking it from some source beneath the ground though you can't be sure. The massive stone gateway is flung wide, the black void of the portal into the vault sitting in its center. It occurs to you that somewhere hidden off to the side would be the perfect place to establish a shrine to that cat spirit dwelling in your estate, though you're not really sure you want it being any more powerful.

Hesitantly you call out into your surroundings. “Hayes? Are you around? I was hoping to ask you some questions.” You don't get any answer, so you take a few steps towards the impossibly black hole in reality, peering inside of it. You see nothing, there's nothing to see. Actually, come to think of it, this place really reminds you of that chamber beneath your Estate. You wonder if the chamber is another vault?

You make your way off into the stalactites, or are they stalagmites? You can never recall the difference. The ones branching up from the ground towards the ones branching down from the ceiling. Regardless, you pick your way through, finding them filled with all manner of moss, vermin, and stagnant water. Once you're well away from what seems the main thoroughfare you find a nice clearing near the wall of the cavern.

You start to channel vys and instinct takes hold. You draw primarily upon Earth, Metal, and Water magic, however Nature and Fire make appearances as well. You feel almost in a trance as you craft the squat hovel from stone, and create the golden idol within with Metal. You create a pad of moss just in front for kneeling and a bowl from stone for depositing offerings.

Then it's finished. You feel yourself slowly returning to your senses. Stepping hesitantly inside you look around, lighting the two brazers flanking the shrine. The moss inside burns smokey and fragrant, it's still green you think. You kneel just in front of the shrine, though you have nothing to offer you still feel the presence of the cat spirit in the golden idol in front of you. Knowledge begins to force itself into your mind, displacing your thoughts and splitting your skull. It feels like someone placed a wedge on top of your had and swung down their hammer.
>New Runes Learned: Water, Air, Blood, Repel, Attract, Iron

You must have blacked out for a moment, because you wake up on the ground. Your head aches dully, but it's easily ignored. A quick assessment reveals a knowledge of quite a number of runes you don't recall knowing before. You suppose the cat is upholding its end of the bargain. You push yourself slowly to your feet, the world spinning for a moment as the blood rushes from your head. You think last time the cat only gave you two or three, why did it give you, so far as you can tell, five new runes? Is this place particularly well suited to its purposes?

You manage to stumble your way back to the portal, and on a whim dive inside. You feel your stomach throw itself into your throat as you're hurled through space but eventually you come to a stop standing in a narrow hallway. The walls are made of black marble, and lined with gold. It's well lit despite the lack of any obvious light sources. At the end of the hallway is a set of grand black doors, which you stride towards confidently.

The doors slide open with surprising ease, revealing the space within. Much of it seems abandoned, a thousand pillars stretching on into eternity, all of them darkened and forgotten. Save one, the one nearest the doorway. Atop the squat altar sits a massive brazier, semi-ethereal white fluid sitting within the basin. Three skeletal figures, seemingly woven from the void itself with their skulls smashed open and acid pouring from their wounds, hover around the basin like vultures circling a dying animal.

You feel a hand on your shoulder and nearly shit yourself, whipping around to find Hayes standing next to you. He's smiling that mad, ecstatic smile of his. “Well it's about damn time you hauled yourself down to see your old buddy Hayes!” The man shouts, his twangy voice echoing through the emptiness of the chamber. “Them skellies been waitin' all day to see yah. Dragged Hayes all the way down here they did! Best of luck to yah, speakin with them. Hayes thinks he'll had back to the shop, make sure no kids come wanderin' in to steal his things.”

One of the three skeletal figures turns towards you, its empty sockets staring at you sightlessly until a series of voices thunder through your thoughts.

{We have been informed.}
{A most vital notice has arrived}
{Indeed, quite important.}

There's a beat, and you're not really sure what's happening. Then the three, nearly identical voices, cry out in chorus.

{That it is your birthday today.}

>>40085404
They remembered! I love these guys!

>>40085404

Oh you guys!

THE CONTRACT IS SEALED.

>>40085419
I wrote the post before deciding how many runes I wanted to give you.

>>40085393
Yo. The IRC guys thought up of something. We can create magical rail guns. Have a series of tubes, each enchanted with Small+Repel contained in one big tube. Small+Repel was confirmed by Soma in IRC to allow objects through but speeds them away afterward, as opposed to regular repel which prevents anything from entering in the first place. A bunch of these tubes+reinforce will make extremely potent anti-dragon weapons.

>>40085454
nigga that's an anti-everything weapon

>>40085454
Yeah, but Mic barely knows how guns work. I don't think he's quite ready to create the most powerful cannon in the country just yet.

>>40085404
YESYESYES

>>40085475
funny enough with the repel rune we totally have the magic cart some anon wanted to make for the dragon tail.

>>40085404

>>40085596
>surya go kill that mortal
>no thanks pani, have you seen that fucking gun of his? Shit scary, and fucking amazing, just looking at it makes me hard

Bullets/pellets/whatever with a bunch of shit like fire that react to blood maybe? Of course with other sets, but blood would make the best dragon smasher, use stone for castles, wood/metal for ships, running away like hell while apologizing for gods

BORDER FENCE FOR THE GLORIOUS SAMJAN EMPIRE: Enchant stone pillars with "attract blood large" or something. Watch as people get exsanguinated. Laugh.

>fuck huge one of the rail guns all the way down to the core in length
>ain't no body fucking wit my niggas

>>40084632
We gave the phylactery to the water spirit for Varvar's glorious final battle, and Permanency.
We got the ring from The Collector, I assume in return for our service to the Void Ambassador, that is, killing the Shah.

Repel water runes
Build underwater carriageways.

>>40085771
You better not mean for public use, even for a toll, that kind of shit would make merchants rich, and only we can be rich.

>>40085771
Attract air to pressurize air, probably
Repel air and attract air on something large could make a tornado. Maybe
Attract water on a tall pole to bring in rain clouds, maybe
Contain air to actually contain that pressurized air, probably
Clever use of repel and attract and contain water and air to make cycling airlocks. Probably
Attract iron one something like a compass to find ore
Same for water so we can find places for wells, in places that aren't the desert.
Stuff and things for stuff and things, maybe

>>40085760
Now that you've said it, I am recalling it that way
You're right, thanks for clearing things up

>>40085684
Expound on this idea; the bullets/pellets would be made of Cinnabar, enchant the bullets with 'blood' runes, making the poison react when it hits blood.

>>40085879
Project: Fuck dragons.

>>40085893
Didn't soma say bad things happen when a rune is broken? Set up a pin on the end to shatter a rune when the bullet/pellet hits something, the reaction is probably equivalent to the amount of vys put into the rune that's shattered, like smashing a bottle full of energy. Now we have explosives rounds, and if we engineer the bullets/pellets right we can have it come apart in a way that doesn't break more runes, filling the dragon full of multiple bits of hellfire and spite.

>>40085975
If we face dragons that are old as fuck we should probably prepare for THICK, maybe design special bullets that are meant solely for shattering things? fI'll the thing with fragile rune plates pumped full of vys and have the front be a meat tenderizer shaped thing reinforced, possibly have it (via sk science) spread out and wrap around something/lock into grooves(do scales overlap or meet and form grooves?) before the rune plates get shattered.
I'm a bit too tipsy to be planning, but it's still planning, and someone not drunk might get something out of it

>>40085404
You guys, man! You've gotta organized!

>>40085404
Awwww. They're cute.

>tfw computer is fried so I can't be in the irc to see people laughing at my drunk planning
Someone call me a faggot

>>40086036
Layered bullets, outer layer has it make an explosion in reaction to Flesh, inner core has it make an Earth spike that destroys the fire rune in reaction to Fire, or just make it erode the rune.
Use Delay+Hidden+Earth to make the runes become destroyed on impact?
If we could make bullets largely indestructible through regular means, we could do Hidden+Destroy or something and be able to remote detonate them by destroying the runes if they get inside the dragon, if they don't, then we can just collect them afterwards(repel+manipulate+Metal/Earth?).
Holy shit, anon.
Homing bullets! Mark+Attract+Mark+Earth/Metal or something, put Mark on bullet!

>>40086098
Maybe a multilayered one
1: the explosive one
2: a rail gun that only kicks on when it hits flesh/blood(aka managed to get through scale)
3: a fragmentation bullet pumped full of "X when blood"
Scale shattered, gun fires deep into the dragon, if it's a smaller one it'll just bounce off the scales on the other side. It's strength will be its weakness.
Fuck actually maybe design bullets that are hot as all fuck to better burn through flesh, so that they bounce around inside the dragon, unless it's not just the scales that are SUPER resistant to fire.

>>40086154
Alright anon, time for sleep.

>>40086162
That bad? Okay, night night

>>40086174
We all do it.

Also, consider this.
>Nature gives new types of perceptions
>Fire deals with light
>Metal deals with transmutation
>Water deals with flesh
I'm thinking we could make a night vision effect, hell probably even a heat vision one by transmuting infrared photons into visible light, by fucking around with the first 3, and if not, then we could just go full pleb and grow new receptors in our eyes.

How is this bullet going to pass the scales?

>>40086335
Which one, several ones were mentioned. Most of them rely on "it's a fucking rail gun, scales ain't shit nigga"

Which makes me realize, if it's going fast enough to puncture dragon scale, runes on it are FUCKED unless we make it out of SUPER strong material, stronger than dragon scale, or maybe wrap it in weak material only meant to protect the runes that will last about as long as it takes to get into the dragon, severely doubt that would work, but we have the best time ever working with us, sk might have some shit, and I mean soma will have him introduce half our ideas so we can do them and it not be weird that mik somehow thought up railguns

We might be able to make a book/people stabilizer with the repel rune, I really want this.

We can't meditate on a mount, it moves too much and we can't go into a trance, I want to be able to do so.

maybe we could use it on animals as well and we could have a lot of cattle for meat, which we will need for whatever our dragon kid is named
