Sure.

What? Oh.
Uhh, we'll need to ask you a few questions.
First: What gender are you?

Name, age, sex, gender, orientation, inventory, location, and goals, please.

My name is Nirblilm. I'm a kobold. I'm about four years old. I don't know what the words "gender", "orientation", or "inventory" mean. Sorry. I'm currently in the place where you seek guide for things. My goal? I want to become a black mage.
>>
No. 139739 ID: 11df9c

>>139735
When we say Gender, we mean if you're a boybold or a girlbold.
Inventory is what things you have with you, and orientation is whether you would rather rub noses with boybolds or girlbolds.
>>
No. 139745 ID: 34470e

>>139739
Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't know that. I'm a boybold. I have just my cloth I wear right now. I think I would rub noses with girlbolds. Is that needed you to know?
>>
No. 139747 ID: 8ce2bf

>>139745
How big is your nose? Do all the girlbolds talk about how nice it would be to rub up against it?
>>
No. 139748 ID: 11df9c

>>139745
Hmm, in order to achieve true mastery of black magic, you must become a girlbold, or at least be able to convince others that you are.
Find a pretty dress with bows and ribbons.
>>
No. 139752 ID: d31d16

>>139745
The Black Magic we know if is a path of self-empowerment, often at the expense of others. Thus, your desires are a VERY important thing to know at this point.
>>
No. 139757 ID: 34470e

>>139747
My nose is normal size. The girlbolds in my tribe don't talk about noses. Do they have to?
>>139748
Sorry. I don't know what "achieve", "mastery", "convince", or "ribbons" means. I'm already wearing my dress. All the kobolds wear their dress. Human dress are weird.

Bows are for hunting. Not dress cloth
>>139752
You use big words I don't know.
>>
No. 139762 ID: d31d16

>>139757
Fine. Smaller words then.
Black Magic hurts other people. Some think it is evil. Why do you want black magic?
>>
No. 139764 ID: 11df9c

>>139757
Achieve means get, mastery means being really good at something, convince means to get someone to agree with you or believe you, and ribbons are fancy strips of cloth that have bright colors and wavy shapes.
Point is, you need to make people think you're a girlbold.

No. 139768 ID: 34470e

>>139762
Black magic isn't evil. The God of Magic saved me from an evil human. I think human said it's name is Magun. Also said where other places of magic are when I asked Magun.
>>139764
I will try to know this later.

Does she know you want to be a black mage?
If she does, what does she think of your goal?

I don't know if she know. Should I tell her?
>>
No. 139783 ID: 11df9c

You should.
Tell her you were just thinking about what you want to do, then tell her you think you want to become a black mage.

Nirblilm:"Armi, I was thinking what I want to do. I want to be a black mage."
Armi:"You don't want to farm any later?"
>>
No. 139790 ID: 3b6c92

>>139787
I think that just sailed clear over her head.

Speaking of which, since you guys seem to have "a touch slow on the uptake" as a racial trait... do you actually have any idea what you have to do to become a black mage? Do you know who you could talk to about that, if you don't know yourself? I don't think you're gonna get this done by just sort of hoping it'll work itself out.
>>
No. 139792 ID: 11df9c

>>139787
Tell her that it's not that you don't want to farm, but that you want to be a black mage more.
>>
No. 139801 ID: 34470e

>>139790
I don't know how to be black mage. Magun told me some places where black mage know can give me. You want to know?
>>139792
Nirblilm:"It's no I want to stop farm. I want to be black mage more."
Armi:"Okay. When you want start farm later?"
>>
No. 139802 ID: 3b6c92

>>139801
>you want to know?
Well, yeah. If you haven't got a clue yourself then you're going to need to talk to somebody who does.

I guess tell her that you're going to go... somewhere... wherever it is that you're going to tell us you need to go... and that you can come back after that. Or something.
>>
No. 139807 ID: 34470e

>>139802
Okay. Magun told me three places. Told me itself will be left from guide place. Told me teach his black magic. Told me three days from tribe.

Told me black magic teach place forward from guide place. Told me seven days from tribe.

Told me l... lissh right and forward from guide place. Told me one day away from tribe. I want know what lissh is. Told me lissh are s... skh... skhelton people.

Nirblilm:"Armi. I'm go to somewhere. I come back after."
Armi:"Where you go to? When come back after?"

Man okay language barrier is clearly gonna be a bit of an issue here. Why is your grammar disintegrating, though?

Uhh.

I think the first one, uhh, Magun, would be the best idea. I guess.
>>
No. 139810 ID: 632862

>>139807
You should study under Magun for some time. He will be nicer than the people at the other two places. A Lich is a dangerous thing, usually evil, and the magic teaching place costs money.

Tell Armi you will go to Magun who is three days from tribe in (that direction). You will come back in one month for a visit, or sooner.
>>
No. 139811 ID: c0f3bf

Tell her you don't know, but at least three days. Go to Magun.
>>
No. 139813 ID: d31d16

>>139807
Magun is best. Magun helped you.
You do not now Lish, and the teaching place is far away.

What do you know about Black magic, to want it?

I know black magic save me. Black magic maybe save tribe later.
>>
No. 139846 ID: c0f3bf

You know some black magic NOW??

If not, you really need to have supplies, probably you should have them anyway, unless they'll slow you down or something.

Is something going to happen to your tribe?
>>
No. 139855 ID: 34470e

>>139846
No. I don't know any black magic now. Tribe maybe get attacked later.

I go to my hut. I have plant foods. I have dig stick. I have cloth food holder. I have plant seeds. I have dirt bed. What do I need to have?
>>
No. 139857 ID: 632862

Is dig stick a good weapon? If it is, take it. If not, leave it.

Take all other things but seeds. Put food in food holder.

No. 139858 ID: 11df9c

Take the food holder, called the "Bag" from now on, the dig stick, called the "Shovel" from now on, and the plant foods.

Unless your shovel is sharp and deadly, a weapon might be nice? And do you have any money?

D- Shovel is for digging. Don't know if a good weapon. I don't know what "money" is.

I put plant food in bag. I grab my shovel. Should I leave now?

No. 139870 ID: 632862

Can you take the 'dirt bed' with you? Or do you mean just a part of the ground that you sleep on, and put straw or something on it?

Bed is made of dirt and straw. I need to take it with me?

Explain that you are leaving to learn magic, so that you can protect the tribe better.

I thank tribe leader. I leave tribe. Outside tribe look not same. Many trees.

They're sweet plant food, most likely.
Make sure you pick up your shovel.

Sweet? That sounds like a lime. Can you peel it? Is the skin thick? Try taking a bite.

'recommend' means to say something is a good thing.
'mainstream' means... well, think of 'stream'. it splits off sometimes right? But there's usually one big part of it that most of the water goes through. 'mainstream' means that kind of thing. It's the path most people take.
I'm not sure if 'understand' is a word you don't know. It means 'to know'.

Looks like one of us lied to you about needing to dress up as a girl. It's hard to really say if we do 'die' when our host dies. We're not sure.

At any rate we could have gotten you killed already. Tell her how we told you not to go to the Lich or the teaching place, and why. Also say that if we were evil, we would not have told you to tell her about us.

I'm a ranger, not a black mage. Self-styles usually aren't written down in the books. Plus I really haven't studied them. Speaking of self-styles, I'm going for one that'll be thinking about different types of wood. You know, like yew, maple, oak, etc. Don't have a fucking clue how that'll work out, though. And now Nir is starting to freak out a bit. It'll be funny to watch.

You're assuming we're not evil. My plan was to bide quietly, then distract Nirblim at a crucial moment, causing his entire village to perish. Then I'd ridicule him heartlessly for ever trusting us. He'd be the most awesome black mage ever.

Since you spoiled the party now he'll only be slightly upset. Probably can't even light a candle.

May as well attempt a stable foundation for the negative emotions though. Tell him that we like talking to you better, since you know more words.

No. 140493 ID: c0f3bf

Hello again Nir. Sorry for going away. Didn't want to. Rojo stole us.

Don't get sad. Rojo is mean but did get you food. She does want to help, but she also wants to, um... laugh at you. She thinks you are funny, and likes to make things hard for you so she can laugh. Don't let that discourage you (discourage means to make you lose hope and make you sad).

Plus I'd like to try and get intimate with him someday. You know, try him out? Well, he's not the best or hottest person in the world, but he seems like a great start. It's either him or someone in town, but since I don't really know anyone else, I guess I have to choose Magun. You know, he's really quite powerful. I'm not as powerful as him, and I don't think I ever will. People say he's a god and all. Speaking of gods, there are so many of them. There's a god of magic, a god of truth, a god of-"

Tell him your name, and say yes, you brought guidance spirits. (that's us)

'enchanted' means it's a normal thing that got magic put into it.
'tattoo' is ink that's been put into the skin so it is always there.
'differentiate' means to make something different from something else.
'doppelgangers' are people who look just like other people, on purpose. Usually by magic.

So he's saying he put a mark around his eye that never goes away, so that if people try to make themselves look like him and do bad things so he gets the blame... people will know it's not him.

To be a black mage:
First you need to read a 'mana ritual'. I don't know what that is. We'll find out.

It would be some nice cosmic irony, though, since the fox was pulling the same trick on the kobold not long ago.

It just seems to me you could get something more out of this than a meal, y'know?

Save her. If Nirblilm chooses to go the mainstream route, Rojo has shown to be pretty good at making him feel bad.

If he doesn't... Well, Rojo wants to become a Black Mage. Despite her rage against you, she's obviously not going to ever be a threat. You can amuse yourself by forcing her to do manual labor in exchange for being taught magic.

You could take one of the fingers she doesn't use for firing a bow, if no gestures are needed for black magic...

We saved her from being cooked. That doesn't mean we saved her from being BURNED. Not to death of course, but it would be unpleasant. Like, brand a symbol onto her skin perhaps.

You could disfigure her face.

Or if you want to take something heftier than a few small pieces, you could take a foot, or her leg from the knee down. That wouldn't really make her any worse of a Ranger or Black Mage... once she has a peg leg, anyway.

Trust me. She will. She was all set to eat the kobold before she took an interest, and she likes eating them in general.

The act of existing at this point in time is going to have effects on the future that intensify at an exponential rate.
Thus we can draw two possible conclusions:
A: His actions are already scripted, and he can take any action he so desires without altering the future.
B: His presence has already changed the future, this paradoxes are not actually possible.

It turned out Sony was willing to pour a fuckton of cash into it just to keep it in the market, and once they beat HD-DVD by attrition people noticed it was the best and cheapest bluray player on the market. From there the people with too much cash started buying it for their home theaters.
Sadly, it's still the best bluray player on the market until at least the end of 2009, at which point the cheap model is a mere TWO HUNDRED NINETY NINE US DOLLARS.

"Don't feel too sorry for her. She tried to kill me."

The other two things you were considering betting on would be advice for teaching Nir, and asking why Xom hasn't used his power to destroy the world or something.

Xom also suggested bypassing the mana ritual. Why would you want to do that? What's involved in the ritual?

A mana ritual alters your body to be able to store mana. Different types of mana rituals allow you to store different types of mana, like black magic and white magic.
Magun:"Don't feel too sorry for her. She tried to kill me."
Xom:"She tried to kill you? Are you okay?"
Magun:"Yes, I'm fine."
Xom:"Good. That's good, but Rojo might need help later."
Magun:"The second thing Is advice on how to teach Nir-"
Nir is actually a good nickname.
Magun:"-how to use black magic."
Xom puts the coin back in his pocket.
Xom:"That type of help doesn't require me to use my magic. Well, black magic works on negative emotions. Just reminding you. No offense. You'd have to cause the poor kobold grief, despair, and general suffering."
Xom flinches at his own words.
Xom:"Sorry. Then you'd have to have him focus on those feelings. Then you have him cast a spell. Go for a simple one first. Nir won't be able to feel how much mana he has at first, but after a while, I'm sure he will. Self-styles are hard to explain, but I'll do my best. Are there any you want to ask me about?"

Magun, you've dealt with foreknowledge pretty well so far, so I'm going to go ahead and tell you my theory.

One day, the orb will fuck up and cause you to lose something you truly care about. Then, you will go on a rampage, ending (or starting with) smashing the orb. Doing that will affect your mind, since it has a direct connection to you.

Punish him how, by singing showtunes?

We're not exactly a fighting force, here. And what does Nirblilm have to do with anything?
>>
No. 142219 ID: b71223

what? do you only hear what you want to hear?
he's apologizing to you, he's saying he's sorry he wants you to stay and learn magic with him.I thought you wanted to learn magic, so you were emberassed I thought you were made of sterner stuff then that. he's not rubbing it in he's genuinly sorry. he doesn't want you to go and I know deep down somewhere... altough I'm not sure where, neither do you. now pick your self up, dry those tears, become a mage and show them you are a force to be reckoned with.

If you have any ideas for punishing Magun I would like to hear them. He's stepped out of line.

Nir is basically an idiot who doesn't really understand the consequences or implications of most of his own or anyone else's actions.

And when we were supposed to be "punishing" (???) Magun, we were busy talking him out of not cooking you alive. He was real keen on the idea for some reason.

He definitely hates you.

Nir not so much. Although I think he's starting to realize that you were screwing with him earlier for no especially good reason.

Anyway though no Nir is not "rubbing it in;" he's trying to offer you emotional support.

Rojo, if we were trying to prank you, we would convince Nir to kiss you or something, we don't have the attention span to do something so elaborate.

Seriously, you need to relax. Maybe kidnap Nir for a while, kobolds make great teddy bears in a pinch.

Killing kobolds is fun. It's hilarious to see them try and escape me. I don't know what I'll do now. Perhaps I'll just go back to the forest. Nobody ever humiliated me there.

You won't be able to eat them anymore. Not until the curse is lifted.

What about that magic college or whatever up north, though? You could learn black magic up there, then come back once you're strong and rub it in Magun's face that you succeeded without his help. Without trying to kill him, I hope.

Are you a complete sociopath, or do you just hate them? Grow a goddamn backbone woman, a few practical jokes, some of which weren't even such, and you go sulking off to take your anger out on sentient, helpless people? Surely you're not that emotionally weak. Do your parents factor into this somehow? You made a freudian slip about them earlier.

Yeah everyone trying to psychoanalyze Rojo good luck that's all I can say. Rojo, these dweebs don't understand that there wasn't one single person in that town who ever showed you any kindness, even in secret. Not once, not ever. Every single person you've met is stupid, not one of them ever succeeded in making you think. You are always right and never wrong. Magun had no right to embarass you like that; you only fired an arrow through him after all! Harmless pranks! And Nirblim should have known that was a joke. I mean come on, he's a 4 year old kobold. How could such a sophisticated being not detect the sarcasm when you said you killed his entire family?

You don't have to be right you know. Nobody's going to hate you for making a mistake. People will hate you for not admitting when you're wrong though, and when Magun does that it means you don't get to be a black mage. Either apologize, try to find a better teacher, or give up. He already got his revenge for you killing him with an arrow. Now his guard's down, and if you play your cards right you can get what you want from him after all. You just have to be... suave.

Imagine if one of those kobolds grew up to be a black mage and ended up saving the world. Or a white mage, and kept you alive when you were mortally wounded. Or just farmed and grew food to feed people.

If you really need more reason, killing sentient beings makes you a bad guy. Bad guys often die. Imagine a hundred kobolds tearing you apart with their teeth.

No kobold is smart enough to be an effective mage. Not even Nir. And I'll just kill any kobold who tries to attack me.

And kobolds get punished for what you think. By your own logic, you are exactly what you hate.

No. 142324 ID: 601a90

under-estimation has lead to the downfall ofmany people. while i don't doubt you could take a kobold or 10. 100 at the same time is a swarm you will run out of arrows before they run out of bolds and even if what they use only hurts getting whacked with a stick hundreds of times could seriously wound you.

If I run out of arrows, I can always use the dagger I have hidden and my brute strength. Kobolds are weak. They can't even lift their own body weight.

Isn't death a punishment?
>>
No. 142331 ID: 601a90

if a kobold ever actually wanted to, it could become strong. the only thing stopping them is their childlike way they go through life and just not wanting to.
i know of this one kobold who became very strong not by working out but by ploughing the fields, by hand. for years he would plough and plant acres of land by himself never realising how powerful it was making him. when his tribe was attacked by some goblins he managed to fight them off because the years in the field had made him strong.

You are removing them from existence, any experiences they could have had, good and bad, no longer will occur. By killing them, you are essentially removing all possible means for them ever to experience happiness. If you beat them up, mugged them, or even tortured them, they could possibly have a chance to recover, but not if you kill them.

Have you ever heard of bulldog ants? They're smaller than your thumb, but a handful could kill you dead, and they're incredibly difficult to fight off.

Magun is exponentially more powerful than you. If he practiced exploding the hearts of foxfolk (ones that aren't your old village, rangers and people like you), would that be wrong?

If death isn't a punishment, how come people are executed for theft and murder and other crimes?

If death is not a punishment, why did you kill everyone in your village?

No. 142343 ID: 601a90

no quest, i had a kobold camp and i set it so they could farm. when goblins showed up i drafted my farmer who must have been legendary +30 or something and he destroyed them

then i guess you can just leave, we are trying to convince you how the world works, but you don't want to believe us. when Nir finds you in like 20 years or something and you try to kill him, we aren't going to hold him back.
