Yes, always start with options.

Then you poke around the main menu for Easter eggs before starting the game.

Always start with options.

Go through in order. Check video, audio, and then saves.

Make sure the video quality is turned up as good as it goes, and that it's the right screen resolution. Since we probably can't hear the audio, make sure the subtitles are turned on! Make sure the saves are configured properly to a directory we can find later. Don't wipe existing save data.

Scroll down pasts saves- see if there are any hidden options.

Have to check the audio, make sure it doesn't have subtitles on by default, or default German or something.

Please determine how well the quest will be drawn, the higher it is the longer it will take to update. varying from seven times a week, four times a week or twice a week or so. On full color, I can update once a week with some delay.

These numbers are approximates, I reserve the right to be lazy.

Lets go with medium quality for now.

Well, that went from silly and frivolous to meta fairly quickly.

>once a week
We have enough quests on that update schedule, or worse. *slides graphics quality down to minimum*

*Attempts to put graphics on low*

>Low

Actually, I'm voting for whatever graphics level that first image was. Give me quality over quantity any day.

Whatever the final decision is, thanks for giving us a choice! That's a first, as far as I know.

whichever is the most convenient for you. the last thing we need is a quest getting abandoned because it requires too much effort on the author's part.

>>474839
Yeah, I have to agree with this.

>Optional RPG mode
...so any significant dialog would be dozens of images long, instead of fitting in one update? Nah.

Dialog probably fits this medium our system specs the best. Possibly brackets, if there's going to be loads of characters onscreen at once.

>video audio and save settings can be changed during game play
Of course they can. We just need to mash ABstartselect for a soft reset, or get a deliberate game over, or hard reset the system.

please place my stats.

don't worry we're almost done

>>475064
[It took like 6 tries, anymore and I was gonna roll too]
I suggest placing the 1 in either weapon or ballistic skill and focusing on the other with 19; I have no preference on range vs melee. If we go range we should get 5 or 8 for str and con. what does inside the circles vs outside mean?

>>475064
...could you explain what the already placed stats mean?

I'd put 19s in ballistics, dex, and cha. 18 wil, 17 agility, 16 int, 12 fellowship, 8 con, 5 str, 1 weapon.

The idea being we're good at ranged, evasion, diplomacy, trickery, things like that- and we suck at close melee. Assuming of course that weapon is melee only. It it isn't, we'd need to make something else the dump stat.

>>475071
the number in the circle is the stat bonus, you get plus one for every ten points in one stat.
stat checks are made by rolling under the total number.

>>475078
the numbers already placed are base stats, we add the dice rolls to them to get our final stats.
Yes ballistic skill is range and weapon skill is melee

Totals would be 4 weapon, 22 balistics, 10 str, 13 con, 19 dex, 22 agil, 16 int, 19 cha, 18 will, 17 fellowship. Since it only counts as a + to rolls if it is over the tens, we should replace the 12 in fellowship with something >15. (like will or int)

>>475086
Let's swap int and fellowship, then. So:

19s in ballistics, dex, and cha. 18 wil, 17 agility, 12 int, 16 fellowship, 8 con, 5 str, 1 weapon.

>>475086
not quite... let's say we add 19 to our 30 ballistic, we'll have 49.
When we make a ballistic check, let's say shooting a crossbow. We roll a d100 and try to roll below 49. for every ten below the check is better off.

the bonuses for having decimals define characteristics like speed and health

>>475092
Ok, that makes a bit more sense.

>>475089
I say go for this then, unless anyone has any objections?

>>475094

I'd prefer 8 wil, 16 con, 18 fellowship. but you wrote out the whole things so meh.

>>474997
>>475039
oh wait I just noticed the difference between You and I. You is us, so we are both male and female and are called Gatling, but the character is also male and female, I assume he/she is Eadoo?

Ahh! It talks! A talking dead rabbit!! Oh wait... Where have I heard of this? Oh are you a demon? or and angel? Will you grant me a wish if I spare your life! Oh I want a harem, no fortune! Nono I want to be KING!

uhh, no, we aren't the jack, maybe it ate us? if not then we are already in your brains. and we don't grant wishes, sorta. we can get you t what you want but you gotta do the work, we just tell you the steps.

nah, we're just swarm of brain incubi. we're here to fuck with your head.

Girl, you need a shirt, or something.

Also, how'd that dagger fit in your boot? The blade alone is longer than your boot is tall. Also, is that your only blade? If you're a ranged fighter, you might want to equip yourself such that you have a lot of ammo to use.

Another advantage of more clothes, actually. In addition to hiding your shame, they give you lots of places to hide blades, throwing stars, etc.

>A talking dead rabbit!
Nope. Sorry, we're in your head- your own personal head-voices.

>Angel or demon?
All of the above, actually.

>Wishes!
Well, we don't have wish granting magic. But I like your ambitions! We can certainly help you win a harem and/or kingdom, if that's your goal.

>>475273
My goodness. your wishes went from flagrant self-satisfaction to Royalty? Have you met,or seen a King before? They never have a moment's peace.

I personally think your first wish is what you want the most. The rest.. just things you think you're supposed to ask for.

You seem to at least have the sexy hat department under control.

>>475293
Oh thanks, I kind Gnome gave it to me. He gave me these boots two, said he wouldn't be needed them.
I'm out hunting for my family, I've got four kids and three younger brothers back home to feed.

So if you're going to help me become a king and have plenty of money and women... how are we going to do this?

>-oh... you aren't magic?
Well... when was the last time a rabbit, with a knife jabbed on its neck felt like making a compliment on your garments, hmm?
Speaking of which could you be a dear and take that dagger out? Thanks.

>You aren't evil are you?
Good and evil is nothing but a matter of perspective.
Two towns fight for a land, both send their soldiers and both sides lose men. In the eyes of their families the other town's men are nothing but evil for they took a life that was dear to them, but they were only following orders very much like the ones they lost.
So you see? there is no real evil, but enough of that if you want to become a king first we must learn your name, baby steps.

Well, to be honest, we don't really know what we are. If we're the rabbit (or if the rabbit is our conduit or whatever), you probably need to make sure we survive, and see about securing an alternate source of food.

well, wait... maybe we should get a bandage ready first, so when the knife comes out we don't bleed to death.

Unless we're the knife, and not the bunny? And we can only talk through it while it's impaled?

>>475368
oh yes, that would be interesting.

>I've never really seen kings as busy. I always imagined them lasing around being powerful and rich. Still I wish I had that power...
Well some kings laze around delegate most of their work to their advisers, but as often as not they end up being back-stabbed by those advisers.
If you want to have power while lazing around you should try to become extremely rich instead. Getting power through wealth is much more stable than getting wealth through power.

>>475371
or have us has your adviser. I don't see how we could stab you in the back (unless we are indeed the knife)

I see... Well I'd want that power, the importance. To be more than just Eadoo, Mother of four dieing children! *Sigh* Maybe I'm wrong. Let's take it slowly. But to put things in perspective, my humble adviser, How does one become King? What defines you as King?

the simpelist form of king, is the one others follow.

The crown is important. Otherwise you're just a chieftain or something.

A king is a guardian & overseer, he arranges stuff for people so they can live peacefully under his guidance. That's the general idea of a king as short as I can deliver it to you. However, there is also a thing regarding kings I didn't mention: Kings are males. For your case, the proper term would be queen unless you want a title a bit more... neutral such as sovereign or monarch.

If you want to be a ki-err... queen you could try to obtain the control of a village, one village under your control turns you into a chief, two villages turns your control known, and three villages or more can turn you into a queen so long as the dominion of the land is vast.

Another method is regicide. If a king is killed its assassin can assume control so long as there is no complain from his advisors and no heir have been established, this method would require to kill or convince the king's advisors and to kill possible heirs too.

You could also try to become a heir, that is, unless you are one already. Doing this is tricky as it requires the approval of a king to identify you as his successor in the line of command for his lands, it wouldn't be as tricky if you were related by blood to a king since then you got the "right of blood" to his land.

And last, but not least is gathering. Similar to how guilds establish themselves, you gather people who either follow you for protection or for the thrill of the kill, so to speak.

Which method you use is up to you.

>Are you even alive? You have a knife in your head.
Yes and no. A dead being can't talk, some living beings can talk and most magical beings are also capable of speech, we belong in the last location. However, a catalyst is needed and for this case it is either the bunny or the blade.

>Mother of four dieing children
If I may, this sounds like a serious matter. Could you elaborate more into it?

...have you killed anything with that knife before? Because it seems like we're a collection of disembodied voices living in a magic knife that can possess impaled corpses, rather than a magic bunny with a knife injury.

Of course, if this means you need to leave the knife in the bunny, you're going to need another weapon.

Look, how about you tell us about your current situation, and we'll help you with that. King is kind of a long term thing- we'll work up to that. Finding a way for you, your friends, and your family to survive is what we should work on first. That's sort of what a king is supposed to do anyways- your first responsibility is to your subjects.

Bah, everyone knows that once you're king you can just declare yourself male. It worked for that one pharoah who was a woman, but not really because she said she was a man, and everyone knows that what the pharoah says is truth.

>>475584
Pharaoh is a gender neutral term.
It means "of the high house" making reference to the royal lineage and it was designated to the head of the house.

Oh please, if anyone protests your choice of title, just slap them with your dick.

Let's just all decide to not dwell on gender-specific titles and instead use whatever term Eadoo uses herself, okay?

A King is a ruler, but not just any ruler. A King is usually a ruler of other rulers, whether they're dukes or earls or whatnot. That usually takes a while to achieve.

What kind of places are nearby? It would be good to know what there is to rule before you make plans to rule it.

For now, it might be a good idea to hunt some more. You need meat anyway, and then you could try other knife/corpse combinations and see which part is doing the talking.

Do you have a spouse or mate of some kind? Anyone to help you gather food?

>>476034
that is of course if she has one. Eadoo dear, do you have a penis?

-I've never been outside of the forest, but from where the sun rises there are humans that come to cut down trees for their king, elves often stopped them, they tell them the forest belongs to their elf king. in the deep end of the forest there's a family of trolls, and where the sun goes down there's orcs. also I know how to find a village of gnomes. That's pretty much all I know about my surroundings. I spend most of my time in my hunting spots or in my den.
I had a mate but he died two years ago... He caught black scrawl.

hmmm, well, we have no problem with you using us to kill things, just make sure to keep one body for us to take over. have you tried making snares? and other traps? a good number of traps can get you far more food then stalking.

>Looks like it's back to sharp stones for me.
Not necessarily. If we're in the knife, you can still use it as a weapon- you'll just be deprived of our council for the duration. Once you're done stabbing whatever, you can stick it back in the bunny and you'll have your creepy zombie-rabbit familiar back.

Actually, this could be useful. If you hunt down something big, like a deer, we could animate the corpse and walk it home for you! No need to lug it back, you can carry the little bunny.

>but Kaleb keeps promising me that we wont starve...
Does he have a plan or something?

>I had a mate but he died two years ago... He caught black scrawl.
Our condolences.

What are the natures of your relationships with the trolls/orcs/gnomes/elves?
If there are any that aren't immediately hostile to you, those'd be the best places to start looking for ways to improve your life.
It sounds like hunting has barely kept you alive so far, so we'll either want a way to improve your hunting efficiency or a way to supplement your diet.

If your mate was male.... and you have a dick...
Where did the babies come out!?

>>476434
...from the other place? She's all of the above, remember.

I wouldn't harp on this, as she's obviously embarrassed.

Interesting... If you really want to become a King you will need to find yourself a Queen, or a cross dressing king i guess either works.

We can't let our wielder starve to death now can we? You might want to let us teach you how to make snares before you eat the jackalope though.

>-Eum... *Blush* I... I do...

They came by wanting a protection taxes, when they saw that I couldn't every pay half the minimum they ignored me and elves are a mystery.

-Well there's a little story behind that. My father wanted a strong son to help raise the family as he only could make girls, so he went out and found a witch. He asked her to make him a son that was strong and handsome, someone big and amazing, a legend or a king. The witch agreed to lend him her magic, but he had to give her all his other kids. He agreed and when me and my sisters were born my father brought us to the witch. But my mom hid one of my sisters away so the witch could not have them. When the witch found out she was outraged. She ripped away the blessings she gave me and cursed me to be small. Father pleaded and pleaded and moved the witch an inch. She agreed to give back a single limb of my fathers choice, right away he said the first thing that poped in him mind. "Penis" So yeah... That's why I'm both. It's kinda why I wish for things like being king, yeah I want wealth and easy living, but I want to live up to my dad's dreams... I'm a man caught in a woman's body.

>As Eadoo whispered her story to you she stalked and landed upon a road, on it she found something peculiar.

oh ho, this could be a lucky break. it looks still intact, but old. meaning it could have something nice inside but anything living should be dead from age. aka, free stuff. open it up.

However all is not lost. That looks like a quality carriage. You could strip the outside of any metal bits and any intact wheels \ axles too. If theres at least two intact ones you can make a cart of some sort for moving stuff.

New body time?
New body time.

Take the dagger from the bunny and be ready to stab anything that pops up.
If we are lucky and there is indeed a creature inside we could salvage the whole thing with the new body.

-yeah! the wood looks soft, but light and there's some good metal bits on it. I'll be careful.
>He carefully peers over the opened window.
-Oh my! a woman, a human woman. The bottom... Er... side of the cart is torn open and filled with snow. Look's like it crashed pretty bad, what happened here?

>>477174
-It's not a monster but it sure is a body. What should we do?


(Sorry for the slow down, I just got a new computer so I had to reinstal all my gear. But it's so much better, no more lag time for me. Just imagine, all you out there. Imagine drawing with your favorite pen, and the ink starts lagging all the time, and you certainly can't listen to the radio while you draw, otherwise your pencil lags and your lines appear seconds after you draw them. Well it's good to have a new computer.)

sorry it sometimes looks like summer, I always forget to draw the snow.

is their skin literally blue? if not then maybe she is alive. open it up.

Hmmm... The body is on top of the snow. This makes me think that the carriage wreck was here before, with the door open so the snow fell in, and she was thrown in later and the door closed and nailed shut. Considering she doesn't have proper clothes for the weather, whoever put her in didn't expect to come back for her. She might have been dead already, and this is a body dump. Or there's always the possibility she's some kind of monster or undead or something.

Check what color her skin is. If it's quite blue, she's dead and frozen, or undead and frozen, or something... Uh... This isn't helping, is it? Just call out and see if she reacts to your voice. If she's frozen blue and reacts quickly, she's definitely not human.

>>477715
Untie her and check her pulse. Is she alive? Dead?

If she's really dead, you'll be eating jackalope tonight!

Impregnate her.

Check her pulse. The wrist, neck, and chest are all good for that.

...is she tied up? It looks like her wrists are bound behind her back, and she's wearing a hood over her head! So she's a prisoner of some kind?

Maybe we should see about talking to her? Or waking her up, at least?

>>477729
Possessing sentient beings is usually a terrible idea. If people find out then they tend to get really pissed, and anybody who knows them would figure it out almost instantly.

This would be a bit worse than usual, since this poor woman has obviously been victimized and her attacker would come after her.
We could turn that to our advantage if we played the role of a vengeful spirit, but that basically requires having her at least her memories, if not her personality, available.

Check her pulse and see if she's alive.
If she isn't alive then it's safe to just jab us into her neck, that way we get a new useful body.

If she is alive then it's interrogation time, don't unbind her right away as you can never guess what she will do to you, it could try to steal us and attack you with us. Just remove that sack from her head and see how cooperative she is, if we're lucky we can make her help us into salvaging the carriage.

>The woman is very suddenly quite angry.

-N-no nothing! I just found you here, just now. Look I don't mean you any harm.

-I don't trust you, You foul rotten goblin!

-I'm not a goblin *Sigh* How about I let my magical knife ask the questions?

-Eep!!

>Eadoo holds you out to her.

>let my magic knife ask the questions
Um, boss? That's gonna sound more like a threat to stab her than anything else. And really, he confusion and anger is understandable in her position. Try to be patient.

So... hello, tied up person. Really, we just found you here. We don't know how you got here, or who did this to you. Maybe you could tell us your name, or what the last thing you remember is?

If you can calm down, we'll see about getting you untied.

we really are a magic knife. can talk through animals. anyway, you were found like this.

Relax. If we wanted to hurt you, it would have been a lot easier to do so before we woke you up and took the bag off of your head. Yes, we're weird, but we just want to help. Who are you and what happened?

>>477831
>>477853
A combination of these seems good.

...Eadoo, did you just point a knife at that bound, scared lady? Yeah, don't do that. In the future, grab it by the blade so you aren't making threatening gestures if you ever have to hold it up to someone so we can speak to them.

Eadoo, explain what happened before you found her, then cut the lady's arms free. I doubt she's going to say anything to you or us if she thinks you're a monster or something. And lady, please don't run off once your binds are cut. You won't last long in this weather barefoot and wearing just a shirt. It'd be a shame if you die of exposure the night after we rescued you.

Now, who are you, and where are you from? Perhaps Eadoo knows where wherever that is, is.

>>477827
>How about I let my magical knife ask the questions?
Greetings and salutations, we are Knife! The magical bunny with a knife up its neck~
Now, since that's out of the way. Could you be kind enough to tell us your name, age, vocation, hobbies, dreams, blood type, measurements & favourite food?

We are kidding, your name is enough, tho' if you could tell us what is the last you remember prior to our encounter that would help us in clarifying what happened to you.

First of all it's never a good idea to start a conversation with the phrase "How about I let my knife do the talking" and second, Actually I can't think of any questions right now. All I can think of is how this lady is apparently terrified of someone who is currently brandishing a bunny is a nonthreatening manner.

>>477827
Lets look at the facts:
1: You're in a broken carriage that appears to have run off the road.
2: You were just tied up with a bag over your head.

If you think a kobold could do that then you have unrealistically high expectations.

We're going to cut you free, then take you somewhere safe so your kidnappers won't find you. Also so that you won't freeze.

Before that, we're going to tear a strip off your clothing and soak it with this Jakalope's blood so it looks like you were attacked by a wild animal.

Hello, mate! We're the magical Stabby Head Voices!
While we aren't exactly AWARE of why we exist, we do in fact have quite a bit of good advice sometimes!
However, it MIIIIGHT be a good idea to ignore a few of the more... well, outright kookoo in the kazoo voices.
You'll know them when you hear 'em.

Anyhow, nice to meet you and all that! I suggest joining up with our hermaphroditic Kobold friend here. She's friendly, at might just be your only salvation from a chilly death at the hands of various things, included but not limited to freezing to death, starvation, and/or maulings by the local wildlife!

-*Pout* You might not harm me now, but If you think I'm trusting a tricky knife and a goblin, you're sorely mistaken. You're trying to get something from me I'm certain! I'll let you save me for now... But I've got my eyes open. You mean to say you don't know me? ME?! I am Princess Rozalia, Youngest daughter to King Dukkan the 3rd! You simply cannot be so ignorant.

-No... I'm sorry I've never heard of you.

-*pout* Such ingrate. However I suppose you do live under a rock.

-Actually i live under a tree, and I'm not a goblin.

-All the same! *Sigh* last thing I remember, I was in bed... And... and Hooded men took me away in the night... They put a bag over my head and... *sigh* I don't remember anything else... They spoke in a tongue I didn't recognize.

-I'm sorry all this is happening to you.

-No matter! Bring me back to my home and I shall reward you with a crown. Oh wait, something like you wouldn't understand the likes of currency... Let me explain it to you slowly. A crown is an ounce worth of gold, you can trade it. With it, even you can afford a months worth of proper food.

-*Sigh* I know what money is... We should get going, sun's going down and it's horribly cold at night. Knife, is there anything else you'd like to ask? And I never did get your name...

Why does everyone these days insist we need a name? Just call us knife, that works as a name just as well as anything else.

we are just knife, or maybe The Knife. if you are feeling fancy. anyway, think we should first figure out where we are in relation to the castle.

>>478471
we probably shouldn't get too attached to a name. Maybe we already have one. We're a scrap of something larger, right? Maybe we're missing memories.

Wow, that princess is kind of a bitch.

Anyway, let's roll.

A single crown? That seems cheap. Isn't the reward for rescuing a princess traditionally half the kingdom?

We could be Carl?

>>478526
that's what SHE will give us, who knows what dad will reward us with for the return of his daughter.

We are Buttslayer, Knife of Infamy.

>>478528

Here are the rewards we could potentially get from the King, in order of increasing likelihood:
A. TWO crowns.
B. A single meal.
C. The right to leave without being killed.
D. A comfy spot in the dungeon after the Princess inevitably betrays us.

Hey, I have an idea.

On the way there, kill something else with us and see if we can possess it too.

If we can, then stab her in the femoral artery. Don't twist us in the wound, just let her bleed out and re-insert us. We shouldn't be noticed too easily, and that way we can get the reward with less fuss and no chance of being betrayed by Princess Bitchface.

And we are Tiddles.

>>478583
this is neiter smarte or safe, what would happen when it will be discover, we'll all be in real trouble

and we should obviusly call ourself Ms Smith

>>478583
>We shouldn't be noticed too easily
>Foot-long knife sticking out of her neck

Remind me again how this plan is supposed to work?

>>478583
That's premature, mean, and unlikely to be successful. I mean, really, can you see us working together well enough to put up a convincing act as a single person? :V

>name
The problem is we're kind of not a single entity. We're a bunch of voices and ideas, all going at it at once.

>>478590
>femoral artery
>neck

The femoral artery is in the inner thigh. If we stab at an angle, it shouldn't protrude.

Wait, don't we say these things out loud?

>>478471
Alright, lets get going. Walk and talk
"Youngest daughter? You're telling me you're his the lowest-ranked among his heirs?
Shit.
Princess, you're telling me that your castle was successfully infiltrated by a hostile force, and you think all they did was kidnap you?
You think that somebody capable of getting a squad into the royal quarters in the dead of night and then escaping undetected would do nothing more than grabbing the least important member of the royal family?
Surely you're more savvy than that."
Sigh
"Before running along back to the castle you need to touch base with your loyalist contacts to find out what else happened. At the very least to make sure it wasn't a coup. Find out if your father is still on the throne, if anybody else is missing or dead, and what response was provoked.

You need to avoid being discovered until you know who you can trust, which means keeping a low profile. I'm guessing your education didn't include training for how to hide amongst commoners, right?
Our first stop is my home. We need to get you into warmer clothes."

>>478599
-You're right... I really hope my brothers ad sisters are okay. Oh and I hope my father is all right... I really don't know what's going on. All this is so scary. Said the princess, panicked by knifes worrying words.

-Yup, home sweet home.

Can we control the rabbit body too? Lets go down the tunnel so we can see Eadoo's kids.

[jump on her head]

Oh hey, we make kind of an adorable bunny-knife, don't we? =D

>talk some sense into her!
Hey, you're lucky you're not freezing to death in the woods right now! And that Eadoo was considerate enough to dig a home big enough for a human to fit, at all! I know you're used to the high life, but for the moment, you're out here on your own, cut off. Beggars can't be choosers. Not if they want to survive.

>I'm not sure if killing her's smart, at least not now.
No, it's not. It's also really not a nice thing to do either. Even if she's a bit of a spoiled, well, princess (an apropos cliche) she doesn't exactly deserve to be murdered for it.

>>479347
"You're not a terribly well-rounded princess if dirt and darkness terrify you.
You need to be able to defy your fears and soldier on to get through this. You need to do this for your kingdom and your family."

I wanted to kill you, but apparently it would be a bad idea.

Well you are certainly welcome to turn around and climb back up the cold dark slimy tunnel out to the freezing cold on your own, or you can go down a few more feet and there will be a well lit, heated, comfortable house down there.

The room is soaked in it, the walls are littered in claw marks, most much smaller than others. All that's left in the room is a bail of straw, a blue blanket, a bauble and the occasional limb...

Oh... fuck. Something nasty has been in here.

Quick, search for survivors, monsters, or the point of entry the nasty things used.

Oh no! Something seems to have killed your puppies, looks like we should either get out of here (and find revenge) or stay here (and find revenge).

Either way, revenge revenge revenge.

Her son heard strange spirits, drew strange things and assured her they wouldn't starve. I'm kinda thinking he got possessed and kill the others.
Not that I'm totally sure that happened, but I've heard of it happening enough times that I think its a very real possibility.

>>480708
This is clearly not an animal attack. Or at least, not simply one. An animal wouldn't have covered up a body like that, or left it covered.

.. we cannot stay here. This is no longer a home. Recover what has meaning to you and lead the princess away.

Kobolds are good at hiding normally, right? Surely you know of other hiding places nearby? Ones where your family might have gone in case of something horrible like this?

your brother did this, but, he could of been really messy and its just the one, the rest could still be okay.

I am sorry for your loss, but you cant break down yet. As bad as this looks it might only be one person who died here. Its possible (though unlikely) that its not even one of your kids. You need to think, did you have a backup escape route? A meeting place if things went wrong?

A person can live without almost half there blood. maybe they all made it?

The Princess Is Not Fit to Sleep in Bloody Cold Mud.

The fact that one of the carcasses was covered by a blanket means someone survived in fit enough condition to do it.

No one here is that intact, so at least one of your family members is still alive somewhere outside.

I forgot my wacom at a friends place, so I'm stuck using my stock tablet until I get it back... I hope it's not to horrible.

morbid but potentially useful would be to put us in them. it may not be much but we could be them instead of a jackalope. and get revenge with their own hands.

We've got a human princess here. We'll be safest with the humans.

That's assuming, of course, the humans aren't the ones who tied her up and left her for dead.

gather what you can and leave, the sooner you get to a village of some sort the better. try to put this behind you, maybe with a good pint ones we get to a tavern.

-Stay close... stay very very close princess...

>From all around you hear cackling...

-Crap... I thought they'd stay away if we were together. Knife, give us a hand here... there's 1, 2 ,3 boogie men, maybe more. What do we do? run, fight, talk? I'm not sure. I've never had to deal with them before... they're getting close...

we can draw them off. if we act as a distraction do you think you can make it someplace? can just come back and pick us up in the morning if the jackalope gets destroyed. if we have a moment tell us what you have heard about them.

>don't trust her
...she's just a spoiled, naive child. I know this is a pretty awful time for you right now, but it's not her fault.

>I've never had to deal with them before...
Well, neither have we.

You're at a disadvantage in a fight. We're your only weapon, and you only get to throw us once! Stacking ranged and dumping melee seemed like such a good idea before we discovered we'd be playing as the character's only ammo! Although I suppose if you can take out one of them, we can posses the body and turn on the other two...

You could always try diplomacy first. Can't hurt, much, and if if fails, you can still strike first, being a ranged fighter.

How good is your aim? Do you think you can hit them in the head with that rock on the ground?

Grab a rock while running. Do you know if the boogie men can climb after you if you decide to get into a tree?

Oh, for... I slip away for a couple hours and you twits tell Eadoo to leave the only shelter around to lead a useless princess through a dark, snowy, monster filled forest. It would have been much safer to stay there just by blocking up the entrance with dirt and rocks. Dammit...

Hey. Eadoo. Get us down from Princess Complains-A-Lot's shoulder so we can whisper to you. Once we're at her ear, we can tell her that was on the off chance these boogie men can understand what we're saying.

Turn to face the boogie men, get the princess behind you, and loudly ask them what they want. Keep one hand on us, ready to throw. If they don't say anything and continue to advance, assume they're hostile. In that case, I hate to say it, but take aim and throw us once you have a sure hit, then run. If you, and us, are very lucky, we can take over critters we're embedded in. Or maybe just yell at them in their minds. Really, you don't have any other options here than that, I'm sorry to say. And pray to whatever god you worship, 'cause if that doesn't work you're going to need a miracle.

Try to speak through the Boogey man, try to make it sound as intimidating as possible, work those vocal muscles of this meatbag body!

"RUDIMENTARY CREATURES OF BLOOD AND FLESH, YOU SEEK TO HARM OUR CHARGES. THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE. YOU HAVE TO CHOICES, LEAVE OR DIE."

If they don't listen to us and/or try to attack Rozalia or Eadoo, attack them while trying to see if we can do more than just possess bodies, like making it just a bit stronger through magic or utilizing it's endorphins, adrenaline or whatever equivalent of those a Boogeyman has.

Oh. Goodness. Nightmare before Christmas style boogeymen. Bags of bugs. I guess then the best way to kill them is fire. Or anything that destroys or damages the bag holding them together.

Attack other boogie creatures! Tear out their seams!

If we even up on the losing side of the battle (it is two on one, all we have going for us is insanity and surprise) pull the knife out of our head and jam it into one of the others.

>>482161
"You chose this."
Then bite one of the boogiemen's faces off.
[Maximum power!]
Adrenaline can make muscles rend themselves and bone alike, but since we can't bring this body near civilized creatures anyway we don't care if it's ruined in the fight. Once we've won it only needs to carry us back to Eadoo, so lets not stress the legs.

>>482178

Slight adjustment, as these Boogeymen are not technically flesh and blood.

>You lunge towards the boogie man, slashing at him with your fists. You find you could probably push a body beyond it's limits though this one lacks the means, fortunately it is plenty strong enough. It struggles back in panic but is caught in surprise as you pin it down beneath you, you claw and bite, tearing it open and pulling it's bugs out, crushing them in your grasp. The creature wriggles and dies beneath you. The other boogie ran off screaming away from Eadoo and the princess.

Alright then. Battle won. Hopefully the surviving bogey spreads rumors about the kobold with the terrifying monster knife and the next thing will think twice about messing with us.

I guess we head out after Eadoo and the princess.

Can we tell if the body we're possessing is still alive or not? If it is, it might be problematic the next time Eadoo wants to throw us.

If our body is still alive, we should stand in a fire until it does and have Eadoo put us back in the bunny. I liked being in the bunny.

call out to eadoo and the princess. they should know it's safe. We should keep this body at least until dawn, I don't think anyone will fuck with a boogie man, not even an angry bear.

Boogie man body is good for now. Makes a good guard for the night time.

If we do eventually set this body on fire though, it could serve as a good stress test for how much damage something can take before we are unable to keep using it.

Also, for what happens if we remove the knife of our own will, or if the mind comes back after we're removed. If it's on fire, then it won't try to attack us probably, even if it does retain its mind. The stress test would come after this test, of course.

"THREAT NEUTRALIZED WITH EXTREME PREJUDICE. ARE YOU ALRIGHT, EADOO, ROZALIA?"

Oh no, we are not destroying this body if I have anything to say about it. It is going to serves for as long as possible, helping us to keep Eadoo, Rozalia and any future friendlies, safe.

Also, just in-case we should check how the previous owner of this body is doing. I'd rather not get blindsided and ejected. Better to utterly crush and imprison any remnants of the former owner's personality/soul, while keeping any useful memories/skills.

Lets out Eadoo's name and say we killed one boogieman, the other ran off, and that it's safe to come back now. When she comes back, we better warn her that this body we're possessing isn't dead, so she shouldn't pull us out unless she absolutely has to.

If there's any holes or rips in our boogieman's body, lets rip some of the burlap "skin" from the dead one to tie over them to keep any of our insect innards from falling out. ...Maybe we could eat the rest of the boogieman corpse as well. We kinda want to keep this body going, and feeding it might help in that regard.

Well, here's probably safe if we've scared off the local monsters, but we're going to need some kind of shelter so you two don't freeze, right?

I vote Agility, Charisma and Watery eyes. We well be so cute that we will not need weapon skills.

>>483735

I think the roll is good from what I can see. Halo said that rolling bellow 90 we 'expel' the Boogeyman's mind. At 100 we probably get to keep it, crush it and utilize any useful memories/experiences for ourselves.

Am I right, Halo? Please tell me I'm right? :(

>>483752

This looks fine to me. That and it's time we stopped using our "shouty" voice.

Anyway, make sure to keep that snake from biting Eadoo or whatever.

>>483769

Along with possibly consuming it's soul, if it has one.

Agreed we can go back to using the indoor voice. :p

I'm kind of surprised no one else wants to stack ballistics. It's Eadoo's core combat stat, and with only a single piece of ammo, we really can't afford misses.

We are the best dancer.
Anyways, I vote for multi possession.

Oh, so we have a name after all?

Telepathy is mandatory. Or else Eadoo won't be able to communicate with us when she brings us into towns where undead knife-monsters would raise questions, or we don't have a body available, etc. We want to be able to communicate with her as a concealed knife before she opts to throw us into people's faces.

>>485178
Telepathy. Undetectable ranged communication? Yes please!

Telepathy is good.

Choose telepathy

telepathy. and we just need to stand around until sunrise. when this body is sun blasted it will disperse and we will fall to the ground. safe way to kill it.

Yes, telepathy is useful for secrets, and secrets are important for becoming king.

>>485178
The boogieman boogie!

>>485178

Telepathy? Yes, please! Also, once we get it, let's test it out on Eadoo, so that she knows we can converse with her secretly.

-see that emblem above the door? They're non loyalists, they don't take kindly to royals. non the less we are looking for shelter. On that note, as non loyalists they may not know much of the royal family. I'll let you and your knife decide what we do... I'm trusting you on this one.

oh god I though I erased those lumpy snow mounds and where's the snowflakes?!
*Sigh* please ignore the uglyness...

princess, just don't tell them or act like a princess. let eadoo do the talking.

>How long have you had that ability?
We just figured it out.

Huh. People who aren't loyal to the crown openly flaunt it and display emblems? Your regime may be in some trouble, princess.

How well known is the princess' face? I assume she's not on coins or stuff, yet. And she's not wearing any royal emblems or symbology that I can see. We could probably pass the princess off as a regular person, if she's careful with her attitude, behavior, and speech. If she's got a recognizable accent, she probably shouldn't speak at all.

I doubt horrific forest monsters are welcome. We'll have to give up this body, and let Eadoo carry us.

We'll have to rely on Eadoo being charming to get food and shelter, since I don't think we have any money or things to offer in trade...

Frankly, this is not the place I'd like to stay right now, but we're out of options. The princess will probably not be recognized, being the youngest and least important member of the royal family. She just has to shut up and clamp her royal demeanor down. There's probably going to be a lot of anti-royal talk in there, and her blowing her stack will get her killed or captured.

Alright, princess, clamp your mouth shut and swallow your royal pride; Either one will get you in trouble here. You're going to have to play mute as long as you're around the non-loyalists. Use our telepathy to relay anything important to Eadoo or us.

Now, what I'm thinking is that Eadoo and Rozalia will run full tilt, through the front door, and Eadoo will slam it shut and throw the bolt on it, and the both of them start barricading it with whatever is nearby. Their sudden entrance will shock everyone in there. Then we'll throw this boogieman against the door and make a ruckus. Eadoo then can shout that there's a heap of monsters out there and they need to barricade, right now.

We'll keep banging and scratching on the door, staying away from the windows. But if any of the tavern occupants decide to fight us, we'll run away into the night, then slink back into telepathy range, and proceed to bang on the doors until they try to get us again.

We'll figure out you two's cover story as well. Something where Eadoo found this girl near the road, couldn't communicate with her no matter what, and decided to bring her here for the humans to sort out. We'll play this like Rozalia has a curse of non-communication on her; One where she can't speak, anything she writes is jumbled garbage, and even her pantomime makes no sense.

>>485948
There is no choice. With how she's dressed snow on the ground means sleeping outside would be fatal.
Princess, you've had acting lessons, right? Tonight you're a merchant's mute daughter, who was separated from your father when your caravan was attacked in the middle of the night. Eadoo was hired to guide the caravan through the forest, and snuck you out of the attacker's camp because her paycheck is riding on it. Pick a reasonably distant city to be heading towards.
Ideally, your destination would be a medium-sized city in a neighboring country which is at odds with your royal family, and you'd claim it was soldiers shaking down the caravan.

Naturally, you can't say any of this since you're mute. Instead you'll be playing along if people pressure Eadoo into saying what's going on.
If you need help acting meek, humble, and scared, then just remember you're walking into a building full of people who would love to rape and murder you.

Eadoo? Don't offer any information unasked, and if anybody asks it's none of their damn business unless they plan to buy your story with two meals and a corner to sleep in.

Only 20 years now have our own people been waving flags against us, our fair kingdom has been on the verge of civil war for nearly 15 years, but it's never seen day yet. My father fears for the worst, but his advisers tell him that war will never break out withing our own walls. It's a shame though...

Charm yourself a meal. Use charisma and cuteness in place of coin.

Look around the room for itinerant adventurers. Make a job offer or better yet partnership with one of the adventurers to transport a magic knife to some set of mysterious ruins. Promise these adventurers most of the spoils. Later on check with the princess if there are any major libraries where we can find information on ancient ruins to make our bullshit story more convincing.

Enjoy the free meal, and remember to be gracious and thankful, and remain cute.

Smile the biggest, cutest smile you can at the waitress and thank her greatly, no matter what she gives for food. Princess, remember to not act ungrateful for whatever you get; Any food is good food right now.

Find the nearest open spot near the hearth, and dig into that chow while you thaw out. Listen in to what the other patrons are talking about, especially those gnolls that are making such a racket.

While you're eating it might be a good idea to think in the long term here. You need some information on these nonloyalists, get an idea of what their chances are at defeating the current regime. If there's been unrest for a long time as Rozaline says then I wouldn't bet on royalty getting out of the conflict intact.
