>>Wasn't there a crowd of people looking for training?
Use this as a warmup of the dungeon

>>42090231
>Wasn't there a crowd of people looking for training?

Nobody mentioned anything about the 1 year anniversary on the 5th, so happy birthday I guess.

>>42090231
>>Wasn't there a crowd of people looking for training?

We should ask the other adventurers about the dungeon while we're at it.

>>42090231

Lets see if we can somehow get the moth and the snake training too, make them spar someone new or weak.

Hmm let's talk to the adventurers about the dungeon and then find the dwarf blacksmith 'fore he leaves.

Also I was not expecting a new thread so soon! And Happy Early Birthday spider quest!

>>42090231
>Wasn't there a crowd of people looking for training?

>Other (?)
Back during the Hydra poison incident, it was mentioned the large guilds in the cities had Healers on staff. Ask Ren(?) for a Healer to look after our Woof while we beat- train with the other adventurers.

Once she's fully healed, we can murder the fuck out of a Dungeon!

>>42090231
>>Everyone knows the cure for depression is to throw yourself into a dungeon.

training with the adventurers wouldn't even be a warm up

>>42090481
I dunno, I got good vibes from that one who was looking for training last thread. And training against thinking humanoid opponents will be good practice for Lyra, as she has mostly been fighting monstrous creatures lately, instead of the monstrous people.

Plus, it's possibly a chance to utterly confuse a mage or two, if we get them as opponents.

>>42090637
fair enough, I just don't see it helping us get ready for a dungeon run. afterall we'd be facing more monsters rather than humans.
that said messing with mages would be fun( cause some premature detonations, have them take themselves out)

>>42090700
Honestly it would be best to wait for Shezska to finish healing before we tackle the non-water dungeon.

>>42090700
Remember, Shez is not fully healed yet, so killing time (and trying not to kill adventurers) with some sparing will give her time to visit the Guild Healer they have on staff.

Once our whole party is at 100%, then we can teach this dungeon the difference between the local fare of adventurers and a Tyrant Arachne!

>>42090739
We don't really have a way to tackle the water dungeon. Especially Nin and Jin won't be able to go there, and Sheszka and Ezzy will have pesky breathing problems.

>>42090768
>Remember, Shez is not fully healed yet,
We have so much to do before we can actually go to the dungeon we don't actually need to inflate our schedule.

>>42090792
We can solo it.

>>42090815
Cockyness like that isn't conducive to good health, Lyra is far less well protected without Blessing of Protection.

>>42090792
Gotta talk to dwarves on tips to improve our craft, go see auntie and bee princess again and not have our conversation rudely interrupted this time, guild stuff probably...

>>42090826
>Literally living metal armour
>Less protected

>>42090826
How do you get cockyness from me saying that we can make a solo run on it? None of the others can enter it, so solo it or don't do it at all.

What were the two dungeons here again? I think one was totally underwater fuck that but what was the other?

>>42090826
...according to the sheet, we still have the Blessing of the Demi-God of Protection. Did I miss something?

>>42090859
It feels better doing it as a group. Stop being selfish.

>>42090887
it works best when defending others

>>42090894
They literally can't enter the water temple. Stop being an idiot.

>>42090887
Yes. It works when we're protecting something/someone other than ourselves.

>>42090859
>How do you get cockyness from me saying that we can make a solo run on it?
He didn't say we can try, he said we can solo it, which is assuming this Lyra can solve a entire large dungeon thats completly out of her element on her own without Blessing of Protection.
And its not "solo or not at all", besides not at all being a perfectly good solution when the alternative is possible horrible demise, we can also look for a way to get underwater breathing for others.

>>42090887
You need something to protect for it to do something, thats the whole point.

>>42090915
Or we could find a way for them to do so, all the human adventurers must do it somehow.
And its no like Lyra can breath underwater, she can hold her breath for hours, but not forever so there is no guarantee she even can get deep into the dungeon herself.

>>42090931
I did, mate. English isn't your first language, is it? I thought I made it clear that that was me.

Out of our element? Not really. We don't need to breath. We can stick to walls and we can boil the water. Fish don't like being boiled.

>>42090915
I'm saying to do the opposite: wait until we got everybody ready and go for the other one. It's the other guy who wants to solo one of those.

>>42090886
I think one was called the Plains of Gold and Hate, or something like that.

The other one is partially flooded and occasionally floods completely. Boarder line suicide for air breathers.

>>42090931
even with waterbreathing Jin wouldn't be helpful or safe in the water temple, as it negates her advantages of speed, flight, and fire

>>42090977
I'm sure there will be air pockets.

>>42091002
Now you are just moving the goalposts.

>>42090997
>I thought I made it clear that that was me.
Not him, but you you thoughtr wrong, because literally nothing in that post specifically indicates you as the guy he replied to first, like, at all.

>>42090997
>Out of our element? Not really
Yes, literally really. Lyras elements are fire and earth.

>We don't need to breath.
Yes we do. We can hold our breath for a long time, thats a difference.

>>42091014
I'm really not. 'Solo the dungeon' sounds stupid and I'll stick by it.

>>42091024
Riiight.

>How do you get cockyness from ME saying that we can make a solo run on it?

You see that me in there?

>>42090997
>Out of our element? Not really. We don't need to breath.
Yes we do need to breath.

And we would be literally out of our elements.

>We can stick to walls and we can boil the water.
Thats assuming there are walls conveniently to stick to and we can actually boil those huge quantities of water, which is pretty unlikely.

>I thought I made it clear that that was me.
Considering nothing in that post pointed that out, no you didn't, I'm kinda confused what makes you think you did.

>>42090997
Lyra has never once fought underwater before. She probably cannot effectively use her fire abilities in the water, being underwater might possibly impair her earth abilities, and the extra resistance from the water will likely mess with her forms when it comes to fighting with her spear, at least at first.

It would be out of Lyra's element.

>>42091068
Honestly, if Lyra was to even attempt that dungeon, she'd first need to practice making a web diving bell. It'd be stupid otherwise.

Now that you think about it-
There were people talking to you when you started eating, weren't there?

The group of adventurers, and the strange woman.
She'd said something about the queen, and...

You clench the side of the table and take a deep breath.
You corrected that. And then she asked you about training.

And that means-

You wave over the secretary as you start to stand up, and the woman approaches you with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm not really waitress, you know?"
"Of course not. Waitresses are not terrifying, yes?"
"I- What?"
"You smile like a dragon. Or something else with very sharp teeth."

She regards you again, curiously.
"That's a new one. My teeth are pretty normal, though."
You shrug.
"Like a predator, then? I am not sure, yes."
"Right, then. You didn't call me over to talk about my smile, did you?"
"No, no. Is there a healer in the guild?"

"What? Now?"
"Yes?"
"Sure."
"Okay. Can they treat Sheszka? Her arm was broken, yes. It is mostly healed, but I think it would be best if she was fully healthy before gets in any more fights."
"Eh. Alright, I'll look after it."

>>42091103
0/10

>>42091122
You thank her twice before you head into the yard, pawning the snake of on Nin, with explicit instructions to have them both start training.

The grounds are much more busy than they were when you last used them- Not just in the number of bodies, but the number of people participating. Adventurers all around you are throwing themselves into sparring whole-heartedly, and the entire area is full of shouts and the dull sounds of padded weapons against flesh. Your Mom would probably think she'd found heaven.

The woman from before is leading a few people in drills- with spears, no less. Though her style isn't anything like your own. There's mages and archers at the opposite end of the grounds, hurling fire and lightning and pointy metal sticks at dummies, swordsman and brawlers and all sorts of fantastical weaponry being flung around.

It's just a matter of where to start.

The lady from before, with the different spear style. Maybe we can pick up a few things from watching her drills.

Try not to poke a hole in her. That would be rude.

Poke people with your knife hands!

We are a giant spider, yes? That counts as monster.

>>42091341
>You monster!

>>42091341
Well yeah I mean we are a giant spider aren't we?

>>42091341
We'll poke her with the butt of our spear then!

>>42091474
speaking of spears we need to looking into getting an upgrade. preferably one that can withstand our colossal strength.

>>42091541
Well, if we just get the material and some tips from the dwarves we should probably make our very own

>>42091068
>water will likely mess with her forms when it comes to fighting with her spear

REQM, do we still have our glaive, or did that get left in the home tree?

>>42091133
I'd like to try having mages shoot stuff at us while we practice making them fuck up. We haven't got to use our EMC anti-casting for anything in a long time.

>>42091807
Yeah, that might be good

>>42091341
Gently.
GEEENTLY.

>>42091541
What's wrong with the current one, the one Lyra got from the animated armor in the forest 'mage is super full of himself' dungeon, which she reshaped with her powers and worked with her family to enchant using her refined element stone to give it nifty lightning powers?

>>42091611
Oh, that's right, rivermetal doesn't get slowed by water. Though that's only the blade, I'd imagine, so motions outside of piercing thrusts would probably still feel the effects of the extra resistance. Still, would probably be handy.

Using it would mean not trying to duplicate Lyra's fishing experiment with her lightning spear while actually underwater this time, though, and we can't have that!

>>42091882
>What's wrong with the current one, the one Lyra got from the animated armor in the forest 'mage is super full of himself' dungeon, which she reshaped with her powers and worked with her family to enchant using her refined element stone to give it nifty lightning powers?
Its too soft and bends under Lyras strength too fast, and that was before the evolution.

>>42091882
That it gets slowed in water.

>>42091882
>What's wrong with the current one, the one Lyra got from the animated armor in the forest 'mage is super full of himself' dungeon, which she reshaped with her powers and worked with her family to enchant using her refined element stone to give it nifty lightning powers?
it cannot withstand the full Might of Tier 4 Lyra's strength, hell it was having problems with tier 3

>>42091882
>What's wrong with the current one
The fact that our last half-dozen fights have all included a line where we bent and deformed it by accident.

It's a good spear, but our strength has passed the point where "good" is enough.

>>42091882
>What's wrong with the current one,

Not strong enough for freakish spider strength. We kept bending it out of shape before our Tyrant evolution. Now our strength has been dialled up to FUCK YOU.

First time we get in a fight, we're going to accidentally shred it.

>>42091882
>What's wrong with the current one
We can probably make something a lot better now that we are forge and all.

>>42092051
Ideally, we could solve two problems at once and get a weapon that could absorb enemy mana for our use later. Probably need to wait for Sara for enchants like that though.

>>42092098
Speaking of enchantments. We can reshape our current spear, but don't have the skills to transplant the Lightening Stone and it's fitting.

So we need to think of what to do with it when we take up a new spear. I vote we reshape it into a Lightening Sword for Nin. She's the most vulnerable of our group and could best use the added protection.

>>42092153
>unmaking Ornstein's Spear
>the first magic weapon we ever crafted, the first weapon Sara enchanted, and memento of our first dungeon
Fuck no, that thing is going to be an heirloom.

>>42092153
I wonder.. could a lightning stone be used in armor as well? A moth that suddenly turns into a bug-zapper would both be useful and ironic. Helpful for potential dangers later, since she's so valuable.

>>42092186
Sara didn't enchant it. We didn't craft it, we just made it a bit longer, and its not a magic weapon, its a regular weapon with a magic stone in it.

You clatter forward, into the growing sunlight, enjoying the touch of warmth it brings.
It'll be a good day, it seems.

The woman's- and her pack of trainees- movements are slow, deliberate. Each shift of the weapon, of their bodies seems deliberate to you, everyone of them in lockstep with the next.
It strikes you as military, more than the lax sort of styles that seem to be practised by the adventurers.

Maybe you can exchange pointers later. But for now-

You make no effort to keep quiet as you move, chitin clacking loudly as you step up to the woman's circle. You arm yourself from a nearby rack, an oversized training spear sitting just right in your hands.

And you reach out and tap her shoulder with the padded point.

She turns with a grin, her own spear steadying as she faces you.
"You came."
You tilt your head at the statement.
"Yes? I said I would?"

The older woman actually blushes, scratching her head with a heavy-gloved hand.
"Ah. Sorry. I haven't met any arachne, so I've only had stories to go by. One visited years ago, but I was away."
"That was probably for the best. It seems that my mother might have been a bit too excited when she sparred."
"I'm actually sad to have missed that, now."

You give her a stare, watching her smile.
Why are adventurers all insane? Wait, is she even an adventurer?
"Oh. What is your name, yes?"
"Shannon. Just Shannon, please. And you?"
"Lyra."

"Well then, I'd very much like a spar, please."

>Okay.
>Before that- What kind of style is that?

>>42092215

>>42092215
>>Before that- What kind of style is that?
>>Are you an adventurer? Wait, is that a rude thing to ask?
Then
>Okay.

>>42092153
The sheer difference in mass between an oversized giant-spider-sized spear and a moth-size rapier makes that a bit ridiculous. We could probably make twenty swords out of our spear.

>>42092215
>>Before that- What kind of style is that?

And while we go to spar
>Are you an adventurer? Wait, is that a rude thing to ask?

>>42092211
Erics and Sara both worked long and hard enchanting it back in thread 35.

>>42092255
>The sheer difference in mass between an oversized giant-spider-sized spear and a moth-size rapier makes that a bit ridiculous.
I'm pretty sure he means to insert the stone into the rapier Nin already has.

>>42092215
>"I'm actually sad to have missed that, now."
"You will probably be glad to have missed it in a few minutes, yes."

>>42092215
>Okay. Gather your team, yes. You can ask another team to help if you don't have enough."

Hmm does Shannon know just how strong an Arachne is? Maybe we should show her as a precaution.

>>42092281
No they didn't, Erics worked on inserting the stone, he didn't enchant the spear, its something different.
You can't just pop the stone into a socket.

>>42092215
>Okay.
>Before that- What kind of style is that?

>>42092215
>>Okay.
>>Before that- What kind of style is that?

>>42092186
it's basically a mundane spear with an awesome elemental stone in it. if we can salvage the Storm stone from it then we can socket into whatever our new weapon is(Spear/Glave/etc...)

>>42092286
Considering he said "reshape" I'm reasonably sure he meant otherwise.

>>42092255
>>42092286
We can down-size the weapon just like we did when we first got it. Just make it shed mass until it's small enough.

>>42092215
>Okay.
>Before that- What kind of style is that?

>>42092301
She seems pretty professional, I would trust her to know what she can do.

>>42092321
I took "reshape" to mean more like "salvage" because yeah, that'd be a bit too much metal for the moth.

>>42092312
>>42092303
>it's basically a mundane spear with an awesome elemental stone in it. if we can salvage the Storm stone from it then we can socket into whatever our new weapon is

I remember the setting for the stone took a fair bit of work. And skills we don't have.

That's why I don't think we can fit the stone in another weapon without hiring an expert ... which I guess we can do, if people want to. But I though arming the Moth a little more would be a good idea.

>>42092215

>Before that- What kind of style is that?
>Are you an adventurer? Wait, is that a rude thing to ask?

Make sure she knows spiderstrength too.

>>42092340
>I took "reshape" to mean more like "salvage"
That would be a reasonable assumption to make if we weren't capable of reshaping it in the strictly literal sense by glaring at it.

Everything, sure!

Check thread 35 again, friend. When Lyra asked about enchantments, and if they can work with stones, Erics said there were a few ways, one of which was focusing the stone's effect. And that's what we voted for. It was an enchantment, one that Erics and Sara both worked together on (with Lyra pitching in at one point).

>>42092501
>It was an enchantment
It was how the stone was inserted, which requires magic preparations, but it was still not a enchantment separate from inserting the stone, it was just how it was done.

>>42092501
>>42092534
THE POINT IS THAT SIS AND DAD WORKED ON THE SPEAR.

>>42092561
And? Elle and mom worked on most if not all clothing we ever had, should we have kept all those after outgrowing them?

That sort of hoarding is just pointless when instead we could use it to make our companions safer instead, pretty sure everyone involved with making the spear would agree with that.

>>42092465
No we don't. You be quiet.

>>42092534
Seriously friend, go back and read the thread. Erics was answering a question about enchantment when he described the process that we voted on. The vote was to 'Enchant it'.

Though like >>42092561 said, the main point as it relates to the current (previous?) discussion is more that Lyra lacks the knowledge and skills and materials to apply the same focusing effect to a new weapon, even if she were to salvage the stone from her current spear. So getting a new weapon to hande Lyra's new strength will mean either finding a good enchanter, or losing out on the lightning attack (for now).

>>42092414
Look, Even you should be able to understand mass. We could reshape it as much as we want, we could turn it into a fucking toothpick, if we dont actually REMOVE more then half of the metal altogether, Nin wouldnt be able to HOLD IT, let alone wield it. It's too fucking big.

>>42092595
I agree.

>>42092660
Or, we Just go talk to the dwarves like we were intending to do anyway, and then eventually do it ourselves with better material.

>>42092660
>Lyra lacks the knowledge and skills and materials to apply the same focusing effect to a new weapon
Do it like everyone else and hire someone to do it, problem solved.
Seriously I don't see the problem. We will need someone anyway if we make a new spear and we need a new spear, so there isn't much of discussion to be had here beyond what to do with the old one.
And giving its lightning stone to someone else who will actually use it, and has need of using it because Lyra really doesn't, makes sense.

>>42092595
I agree. When we make our own thing all by ourselves, stone setting or enchantments and all, We''l keep that one. this one we;'re just using because its the best we could do at the moment.

>>42092662
I'll explain it as simply as I can. Using small words.

If we remove a lot of the metal and reshape what's left, we can make a weapon suitable for Nin.

We can easily make it smaller and lighter. Just like we did when we first fucking got it!

>>42092800
And if we do that, depending on whether the enchantment would even keep when we're chopped off the majority of the weapon, and whether we could do so while leaving room for the stone and setting regardless, there might be no point at all in doing so.

>>42092699
We can't do it ourselves, we're not mages. Even if we had the mana, we probably lack the arcane skill.

>>42092708
>Seriously I don't see the problem.
Because there is an alternative; talk to the dwarves, learn more about smithing, and put that knowledge and our spiffy new hearthiness to work reinforcing our current spear to handle our new strength.

In other news REQM I've been reading A Horse of A Different Color.

>>42092800
This means turning our spear into regular chunk of metal and then making chunk of metal into a weapon.
We can get chunks of metal anyway, without needing to break down our enchanted spear.

>>42092940
Is the horse black when it's supposed to be white?

>>42092930
I dunno, I think there's a good chance there's a method Lyra could learn to do it properly, given the mana. I cant imagine there's only one way to do enchanting.

>>42092970
The whole point of the reshaping idea is the setting for the Lightening stone.

The suggestion is to remake the spear into a weapon suited to Nin, so she can have the extra protection of lightening bolts.

Making her a new weapon out of a random hunk of metal -without the magic bits- would defeat the whole point.

>>42092930
>Because there is an alternative;
No a alternative would require this option to be as good as the other one, but it isn't.
You can't just "reinforce" a weapon, I have no idea how you imagine to do that.
Just plain making a new spear from better materials is superior in every form imaginable. Because thats what we need, a different material that can handle our strength, this spear is made from a certain material, and that isn't gonna be changed. And as long as the material its made from is inferior, its not gonna get much better not matter what we do.

>>42093075

I'm going to laugh if the material we have is actually really strong, ancient metal that only needs a bit of tempering and external treatment to work better

>>42093101
>that only needs a bit of tempering and external treatment to work better
You refuse to believe you are this stupid and ignorant of how metals work.
Just, no.

>>42093101
>is actually really strong, ancient metal
Its obviously not very strong because we keep bending it, even if it were strong by comparison to regular steel, of which we have no indication at all, its obviously still npot sufficient so clearly we need something stronger.

>>42093101
>that only needs a bit of tempering
Maybe you should look up what tempering is and how it works.
Because its not what you seem to think it is.

>>42093101
>that only needs a bit of tempering
You do know that tempering makes the metal SOFTER yes?
Which is the exact opposite of what we need.

Why the love for the lightning spear? It's neat, but we've used the magic function all of.. twice? Lyra's almost always stabbity rather than casting. Nin would make more of a use of it.

>>42093112
>>42093139

You are presumably both aware that tempering is just the process of heating metal to the point of recrystallization and then controlling the cooling process to get a more functional internal structure. Who's to say that would necessarily destroy the magic bits if we were to selectively temper parts of the spear?

Also, there are various forms of vapor deposition which use surface bombardment to create an alloy at the surface of the metal without penetrating too deep into the structure. That's something we can easily achieve with magic.

>>42093247
>Who's to say that would necessarily destroy the magic bits if we were to selectively temper parts of the spear?
No one thats not the point, the point is
>>42093169
>You do know that tempering makes the metal SOFTER

>>42093247
This is the part where /tg/ drastically overthinks something the QM probably cannot be assed to write. We'll just get a new spear and call it a day.

>>42093247
Its cute how long it took you to look this up just to miss the point completly.

>>42093297

You are aware that hardness is not strength as we conventionally think of it, right? A pure diamond sword would be really shitty, despite being the hardest sword of pseudo natural material possible. A good thwack would break it, because it is brittle. Sometimes in materials, decreasing internal stresses and brittleness is more important to increasing overall functional robustness than simply making something harder.

>>42093247
>to create an alloy at the surface of the metal without penetrating too deep into the structure
Which, again, is still not what we need or want.
We don't want our spear to be softer and therefore have no reason to temper it, I have no idea why this is so hard to grasp for you.

>>42093212
We love it because it's Ornstein's Dragonslayer. There will eventually come a day when the lightning damage will come in very handy.

>>42093392
We're Satsuki with ornstein's spear, we're also a giant spider.
WE'RE FUCKING METAL

>>42093359
>Sometimes in materials, decreasing internal stresses and brittleness is more important to increasing overall functional robustness than simply making something harder.
You're really just making a ass out of yourself with your insistent qouting of wikipedia without any actual understanding of what you're talking about.

Yes, brittleness can be a problem, BUT ITS NOT THE PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING.
OUR SPEAR BENDS! Which is the exact opposite of being too brittle, it means its to soft, its ductility needs to be REDUCED not INCREASED which is what tempering does.

>>42093371
>We don't want our spear to be softer
Actually, we do. See >>42093359

This the most laid back minor shitstorm i ever seen in a quest

I know protocol requires shitstorms to keep anons entertained till the next update in the thread

But this is really calm

>>42093423
>Actually, we do.
So our problem is our spear keeps breaking because its too brittle and would therefore need softening?

Oh no wait, thats actually not our problem at all, our spear bends so its actually not hard enough.

>>42093428
Shitstorms in this quest tend to be more poo inclement weather. And also tend to be about engineering or stuff.

>>42093423
>Actually, we do.
Actually we don't, we have no problem with our spear being brittle, we have a problem with it being too soft.

In a new spear obviously we don't want it to be too hard, but thats a completly different topic.

What if we kept the spear for lightning shooting purposes and got a new one for primary combat?

>>42093412

I honestly don't remember a single time where our spear has been bent, not a one. However, that's why I listed two options. You can alloy the surface to make it harder if that's what you need. You can temper it to soften it, if that's what you need. I was also using tempering as a kind of short hand for the whole process before you temper it. You could, for instance anneal, rapid quench, and then temper it to whatever configuration its base composition allows for, but that's a pain in the ass to say and far too technical.

Honestly, I don't care too much about whether we keep this spear or get a new one, but I'm trying to suggest things that can get everyone what they want (ie, a stronger weapon while keeping our old one)

>>42093462
Really no wifu shitstorms ever?
That's astounding

>>42093531
We barely ever even use the lightning, carrying a huge spear just for that is kinda a waste of the lightning stone.

>>42093557

We've bent and/or put finger indents into our spear many many times. Like right after Shez got hurt.

Honestly this back and forth about her Majesty's spear being to soft or to hard seems to be a rather thinly veiled euphemism, no if anything we should talk about her eventual rule over the forest.

You nod agreeably, stepping into the ring as her- friends? compatriots?- file out.
And then you stop.

"Ah- Before that, yes? What kind of style is that?"
"Oh? have you never seen our legendary spear of fangs technique?"
"No."
"I made that up."
"Okay."

She laughs lightly, taking stance inside the ring across from you, her weapon pointed low, held in two hands.
"It's an old military style. With a few changes for fighting things that aren't quite human shaped."
"I see. Thank you, yes."
"No, thank you. This is something I feel will help me step forward in my training, you know."

You nod. You do know. Sort of. Sparring with Mom certainly improved your ability by leaps and bounds compared to other things.
Of course, Mom would say that such a thing was useless without a base, and push the basic training even harder, so-

Well, it worked, didn't it?

The woman starts, her spear dipping, then snapping upwards, whistling towards your face- You sway back at the waist, letting it spike past you, retreating a half step.
And she doesn't stop there, pivoting her body, one leg snapping out in a fierce kick as she surges forwards.

It connects with your foremost leg, just below the knee.

Shannon bounces backwards, taking distance from you, her spear coming up in a guard.
"Oh."
"Oh?"
"I, uh- I hadn't considered that kicking an arachne's legs wouldn't work, honestly."
"Eh?"

>>42093586

Didn't you see the past threads? We missed the requirements for the Queen evolution.

Now shut up, Nin.

>>42093557
>You can alloy the surface to make it harder if that's what you need
No it isn't because we are likely to still just rip it apart.
There is simply a limit to how much stress a certain material can keep up with, its simply better to just use a different material rather than trying keep reforging the inferior material to make it maybe work somehow.

If you have a problem with your bronze sword bending, you shouldn't try to make the bronze sword harder when you can just get something out of steel instead.

>>42093628
She laughs again, crouching low, and leading with her spear. She thrusts it forwards, and you move with her this time, catching it with your own weapon, batting it away and pushing her back, spreading your legs to cage her in.
"That kinda hurt, actually! If I'm kicking someone, I'm not supposed to be the one getting injured, you know?"
"What? Are you an adventurer?"
"Huh?"
"Oh- Is asking that rude?"

You sweep your spear, and she hops over it, using her own to keep you from snapping it up as she passes.
"It's not so much rude as it has nothing do with the conversation, though?"
"I just thought you were very strange, yes?"
She cackles, spinning in closer to dodge, the back of her spear whirling up to try and catch your chin.

"Aren't you the weird one, though?"
"I think I am very normal for a giant spider."
"Pretty sure you aren't!"

You catch the descending haft with your own weapon, shoving her backwards easily- She takes a guard again immediately, posture steady, eyes focussed-

And then you sweep her legs out from beneath her with one of your own.

She blinks twice from the round, laughing again.
"I didn't expect that."
"You can't fight that close to an arachne, yes? Our legs are very sharp."
"I don't think you cut me."
"I am trying very hard not to hurt you."

She rises up, dusting herself off.
"Damn, really? I should've come in full gear, then- You wouldn't happen to be up for a full spar, would you?"

>That sounds fun.

...I meant the Queen evolution. Like, the one called Arachne Queen. Which we missed the requirement for.

I'm fully aware that tyrants can be queens and vice versa. But we, as a big-T Tyrant Arachne, cannot be a big-Q Queen Arachne.

The moth may claim otherwise, but the path she strove for is lost forever to us.

>>42093926
>...I meant the Queen evolution.
The moth you replied to talked about the rule of the forest, which doesn't need any specific evolution, which is why he said "a Queen evolution" rather than "the Queen evolution".

Quick Lyra the silk anti-powder mask you need to get out of here presto

"Well, I haven't had the chance to- Wait, wait."
You hold up your hand before Shannon has a chance to speak again.

"First, yes. What is a full spar?"
"Eh? It's just a spar with everything, right?"
"With everything?"
"Yeah!"

She gestures wildly, her free hand drawing all sorts of things into the air.
"Armour and weapons and magic and skills- All that!"
"Oh."

You consider it for a moment.

"That sounds fun, yes."
"It does, doesn't it!"

It really does. Going all out- When was the last time you were pushed? Oh, wait. The gryphon. No, does that even count? It died so fast. It did mess up your armour a bit, though. And other people were helping out. And it tasted good, too.

That last bit doesn't have anything to do with anything.

When Mom evolved, maybe? Giving your all against her was- Well, it left you drained and exhausted and bruised and all that, but you still wanted more. Later. Quietly. Mom is kinda scary.

You look up from your thoughts to find that the woman has already disappeared, apparently vanishing into the city to retrieve her gear.
But she left the rest of her friends here. And there was something-

"Aha!"
"Huh?" "What?" "GAH!"
"What is a skill, yes?"
They all stare at you slowly, confused.

"A skill! What did she mean by skills?"
"Um- Techniques, probably?"
"She put them with magic, yes? So they're special, yes?"
The trainees glance between each other, shrugging.

Writing for an hour. This is going to be a good update.

>>42094865
"They are special, but- None of us have any."
"Oh. But what are they? What do they do?"
A younger man coughs, swinging his hand in a chopping motion.
"They're like magic. Sort of? But without mana. Or chanting?"

"So, nothing like magic?"
"They do magic things!"
"Like what?" You blurt out.
"Like- Swinging a sword, but a blade of wind cuts stuff!"

"That sort of thing is real?"
"Only the best have them, you know!"
"So Shannon is someone special?"
"Of course! She's the duke's own sist-"

He manages to clap his hands over his mouth at the same time his companions do.

>That is some sort of secret, then?

>>42095021
Ow. The edge.

>>42095050
That isn't edgy, more pretentious.

Thats not important right now, tell me your secrets!

Writing!

>>42095050
There's edge and then there's being descriptive. Just because you look for words like 'rend' and 'lifeblood' doesn't mean it's edgy. They're poetically accurate words.

Are techniques a non-monster only thing, like with jobs? Would the reincarnation thing be a cheat for us to get some if they are?

>>42095084
If they are for non-monster only we aren't gonna get them for the same reason we can't get jobs.
Lyra is a giant spider now, the universe doesn't care what she used to be.

>>42095082
Maybe, but they are completely unfitting of the situation.

>>42095117
She's half elf. I vaguely remember something about half monsters being bullshit.

>>42095082

It's not edgy, but it is a tad too grandiose for the circumstance. It's like someone trying to quote Shakespeare at a monster truck rally. It just doesn't really click.

>>42095128
Splitting the earth and magmabending through the crack is pretty awesome. Words fit.

>>42095136
>She's half elf.
No, she is a arachne with some elf heritage, this has been adressed in-story.

>>42095156
We can still technically call ourselves a half elf as it is correct, we are also an arachne. Being one doesn't exclude being the other, its just that the term is intended for a different group entirely.

>>42095151
Does not fit the situation. Stop being edgy to the guards.

>>42095197
Again, it's not edgy, it's grandiose. And honestly, I can't think of a good way to describe calling up magma from the bowels of the earth that doesn't sound even a little grandiose. It's pretty cool.

>>42095175
>We can still technically call ourselves a half elf
That doesn't matter at all, I don't know why you try to be technical about it.

Lyra is not a half.elf/half.monster in the sense of the creatures that exist in the setting that can both evolve and learn humanoid jobs.
She is not a half-elf as far as these things are concerned, which was what the conversation was about.

>>42095222
Its still a stupid idea, we are not going to kill the dukes sister in a spar.

>>42095222
"And she caused lava to fountain from the ground"

>>42095222
Careful there, edgehog. You might cut yourself.

>>42095222
>when I stab the ground with my spear, it makes magma, yes?

>>42095247
We aren't sparring right now, asswipe. Read the quest.

>>42095239
Regardless, the 'too ignorant to obey the rules' thing is amusing to ponder.


"Did she just..?"
"That's not supposed to happen."
"Shh! I want to see if she can dual slash!"

>>42095175
>We can still technically call ourselves a half elf as it is correct
As far as I know Half-Elf is a actual race like in D&D, and so Lyra is actually not a half-elf like Lann.

>>42095256
So being descriptive is considered edgy, now? Well then, good sir, I hope you find yourself riddled with painful blemishes upon your anus and forced to walk through several corridors littered with legos.

>>42095316
And now I'm bleeding. Reel in the edge, will ya?

>>42095316
I always thought it was more the whole trying to be cool thing.

The rule of cool is simple: It happens on its own, if you force it, its not cool.

>>42095333
Not that anon, but I'm starting to think you don't actually know what edge is.

>>42095352
He might just be bleeding from the legos.

>>42095344
But I'm not even trying to be cool. I'm just trying to be descriptive, because I personally find it more satisfying. Honestly, I don't give a rat's ass what he thinks of me, but I find the notion of 'Hey, let's call this guy an asshole for putting some effort into it' kinda confusing on principle.

>>42095409
I'm calling you an idiot. Keep your childish fantasies to yourself.

>>42095409
I think its less the effort put in, but the fact your doing write ins that are vastly over egging the affair for the situation that its in which rubbed them the wrong way.

>>42095409
It's an anonymous imageboard. There is literally no reason to defend yourself for so long about something that means absolutely nothing. Learn to let go and stop replying.

>>42095455
Mostly it didn't really sound like something Lyra would say or that reqm would narrate as.

Just a bit purple prose-y, and that can stand out pretty bad.

>>42095461
But if people don't put in the effort to discuss their faults and disagreements, then how do they improve as people? To the anons who said things like 'I think you're being a bit grandiose', the point of that was to show just how outlandish and amazing it was to those people just standing there, watching the giant spider just casually put crack in the ground that led all the way down to molten lava. It WOULD be grandiose to them, regardless of how Lyra would have described it. And yet, having said this, I've received no feedback beyond 'Stop being so edgy.' If there's a problem with how I write things, I want to improve on that.

>>42095555
Use an appropriate amount of description for the context. Don't go as much as you like. "Stop being so edgy"

>>42095555
Less is more.

"Uh- Uh- Uh-"
"No, no. I do not care about that, yes? How do I get techniques."
"What?"
"Techniques, how do I get techniques?"

"But you're a monster?"
"I am aware of that, yes? I still want them."
"I- Don't think you can?"
"Why not?!"

The man looks helplessly to his cohorts.
"Because you're a monster? Only humans- only the non-monsters can gain them."
You scowl. At the man. At the universe in general.

"That is stupid, yes. Who made up this rule? I want them."
"Noone made it up?"
"Someone did!"

"HaHA!"

Your argument- if it could even be called as much- is rather terrifically interrupted, via the arrival of Shannon.
Who is now in full, and extraordinarily heavy looking platemail, with a spear the size of your own.

You'd laugh, but her eyes are shining just like your mother's.

"Alright! Let's do this!"
"WAIT!"

The adventurer's guild's door swings open once more, this time disgorging the archduke himself- His armour is the same as his apparent sister's, though he's swung a massive to handed sword over his shoulder rather than a spear.
"What do you think you're doing!?"

"Huh? What does it look like? I'm sparring, right? This is a spar!" Shannon retorts.
The duke snorts loudly, his moustache bristling.
"What sort of nonsense is that! You know full well you can't go attacking guests in the city, brat!"
"Th' hells that supposed to mean? Huh? Don't get cocky just cause you're a few minutes older!"

Oh gods, twins.

"I am the older brother! And I just said-"
"You're just mad cause I beat you to it!"
"Ridiculous!"
"Hah! You gonna lie about it now? What, do you just visit the guild in full armour? Huh? I'm here first, so you have to go second!"

The duke slams his sword down, actually producing a tremor.
"I won't stand for this! I'm the elder, so I should go first!"
"Oh yeah? Fight me for it!"

What.
What is even going on now.

"2 Gold on the duke!"
"3 on the iron lady!"
What. Why are you betting on this? Is this normal? Is this what normal is supposed to be? Is everyone insane?

That's it, isn't it. The whole world is insane.

A growing circle of adventurers has already formed around the pair- shouting bets and encouragements and generally just making a lot of noise.
"Alright! Bets over here!- One and a half to One for the Duke! Winner takes on the Queen! Getcher money in now!"
Maybe if you just kill everyone.

>This can't be normal. Ask someone.
>Fuck it. Fuck everything. Bet. (On who?)

Seriously, they're no doubt very experienced, but we're a giant spider. Let's hold back a little less this time.

Bitch what. This is totally fucking Exalted tier.

Fight them both at the same time, it might be a challenge that way.

>>42095555
>But if people don't put in the effort to discuss their faults and disagreements

No one is trying to make an actual point here. No one really cares how you worded your post. No one cares what you think of the criticism.

They're just making fun of your wording and calling you an edgefaggot because its funny/kills time between story posts/they're sort of dicks and like to be over critical.

Pretty much all of the above.

Edge.

> Make it a 2v1

This is probably a terrible decision, but at worst it serves to bring Lyra back to earth.

I wish people would stop being incredibly arrogant jackasses already.
These people are anything but chumps and you guys should stop assuming otherwise.

Plus one to this.

>>42095776
>ALL OUT FIGHT EVERYONE, CRUSH THE ENEMY MORALE, CONQUER THE CITY, PAT CUTE GIRL HEADS

Guys, guys. Think about this.

These two are pretty much what would happen if you combined Lyra with Zach and Ephram. Two very strong, very skilled and very competitive siblings.

I don't think Lyra will be able to take them both at the same time.

>>42095958
No one is assuming anything, I bet each of them are LYras match, but that makes it good training. She could at any point get into a fight with mutliple people who are her match.
Lyra doesn't need "challenging" she needs "brutally hard".

If they kick Lyras ass, thats good too, its just training.

>>42095839
>Gotta make it fair
They'd need like thirty more guys.

>>42095776
>Other
>Make it a 2v1
We need our full armor though, it's only fair.

>>42095981
So we'll get more exp out of a dual fight than taking them one at a time, duh.

>>42095981
If she can't take them, great! Lyra learns more about opponents who know each other very well and fight in concert. We literally have nothing to lose except a little dignity.

>>42095981
>Guys, guys. Think about this.
I did, and I concluded together they equal at least One Mom.
Thats exactly what Lyra needs.

>>42095981
No, but at least this way Lyra won't feel bad about bringing the full force of magmaspider down on them.

It's a fight?

2d100, please!

I'll be eating, but writing too!

"How about I fight you both, yes?"
>"That's a given, but we still need to work out who's first."
"No, I meant at the same time."
>"That hardly seems fair."
"Hmm. Alright. I won't use any magma, then."
>"I'm sorry?"
"I'm being fair, yes."

>>42095958
You're assuming that we don't, in some fashion, want to get our giant queenly ass handed to us. Also, pretty sure it'll be one on one on one, not two on one.

Rolled 9, 56 = 65 (2d100)

Not if Lyra gets wrecked so hard she doesn't get a chance to even learn anything.

But, whatever. Should be good either way.
