>Shenzi's body and her crew are the first to arrive at Kadage, You wait at the gate for the others to catch up...

Liver - So Shenzi, You've been duped into following a kobold? How far you've fallen...

Onion - I don't think it's that bad, Miss Eadoo seem's nice.

Bacon - Yeah mistress is a great captain~

Liver - Of course you'd agree with her, "Puppy dog".

>Bacon blushes profusely

Onion - yeah haha... is that the name she gave you? Oh I wonder if Eadoo will rename us as well? She did give Curd a new name.

Liver - Anything's better than liver if you ask me, but I hope I don't get anything degrading or worst yet, a human name. *sigh* Shenzi your naming convention sucked okay?

Bacon - Maybe we could stay a little while longer this time, it's nice here...

Onion - Mistress is very kind, I'm sure she'll let us if we ask... Oh maybe she'll buy me some clothes?!

Liver - You don't deserve clothes...

Onion - But... They stare, I hate it!

Bacon - So what are we doing back here anyways?

Liver - Yeah, Why are we in this town again! I take it it's not your doing Shenzi, what's that little kobold up to? Are we going to sell those pelts we stole? Cause you did say we'd get a better price in AnorOtawa.

Onion - Mistress Eadoo seems smart, let's not doubt her.

Liver - Are we still gonna steal that treasure from the elves or what? Cause now the bold sports a crown and calls herself king, we're not sounding much like bandits anymore are we?

Onion - Hehee~ Maybe we're knights now?

Bacon - Bloody sun-warriors? Hahaa oh that would be the day...

Liver - Ha! as if~

>Banzai gives them a burning glare and they all get very quiet fast.

Banzai - Hold your tongues you runts, to think you'd mock the sun warriors, have you no shame?

>A cold wind passes over them as they mostly look away...

Banzai - you've overwhelmed Shenzi, she hasn't been able to answer at all... Go ahead~

First things first. We sell anything unneeded, then buy things according to how important they will be.
First is weapons and/or armor, at the least we can make do with banded leather if we can't afford mail or steel plated.
Second is food and medicine. Preferibly that which lasts a while, such as jerky or other dried things.
Lastly, if there is any leftover money, we may allow you to buy something that catches your eye, like a trinket. As a gift.

hey how does this sound for new names

If you kill the next thing that tries to kill us you can get it's name. For example if you kill a bandit you can call yourself bandit, kill a bear and you're now bear, take down a dragon and you get the idea.

But yeah sell anything that we don't really need and then buy some armor and weapons and supplies. If you lot think we need anything else speak up now or get going.

Well, if Kadage is friendly or neutral to you guys, >>545798 is fine. But if it is not you may want to wait for the rest, then give martin some money and get him to buy the stuff for you. You'll use less money that way.

Well Banzai should handle any sales we make as he's a very capable merchant who will know what's good to unload here and what's better to hold onto for another town. After that he should handle budgeting our money according to priority. We're here for medical attention for any who still need it first (do or die time on un-knifing Shenzi since we need the wound looked at? She may be ready), then supplies we'll need for a long journey next (trail ration foods like jerky and trail mix, potatoes onions etc - Bacon should help Banzai here), then any armor or weapons we feel might be upgrades (Martin, Shenzi and maybe Liver should give their opinions here), then comfort items (like clothes lol), and finally a little r&r if it's in our budget (see what everyone wants to do).

Oh, and at some point we need to work on winning Liver over a little more. Banzai or Shenzi may have advice. I'm also curious about these sun warriors. We should ask Banzai when we're alone so our ignorance doesn't give us away - or ask Shenzi. May be something there to help cement the loyalty of our gnolls and maybe start building a reputation.

Let's not forget to find the village elder and ask about the dragon king, we learnt this from chapter1. Also we''re getting eadoo pants

>>545941
Ooh oh yeah that's right! Oh and as far as names go I think everyone should pick their own unless that weakens Eadoo's authority somehow (choosing names might be part of a leader's duties in gnoll society). If that's the case I say stick with what they have since I'm used to these now, until they earn a new one during our travels.

sun warriors?

Hmmm treasure of the Elves, sounds wonderful for a future king doesn't it.

>>545817
Liver - That sounds like a good naming convention, honestly much better than, the last food Shenzi ate. *sigh* And the pun... Last course, that follows our trace...

Bacon - to be honest I don't mind bacon, and I don't see myself killing anything better than a ham, I wouldn't want to be called pig or sow... Bacon will do for me.

>>545848
Banzai - Kadage is not a bad place for strangers, this town has not seen reinforcements from the knights in many years, Dwarfs and Elves has found home in these walls. But we monsters are not fully welcome... Not yet...

>>545936
Banzai - Liver is right demon, the pelts we stole would sell much better beyond the forest. but we can sell them here at a fair price, perhaps three or four gold pieces for the lot. We could make six to the elves of AnorOtawa, but the princesses castle is clear north from here... Perhaps it would be wise to stock up on cash, I myself have some to spare, Quite a bit might I add, and would help my mistresses voyage... And if you're looking for a doctor perhaps we're in luck, only just a few days ago an alchemist was here, maybe, just maybe she's still around.

>>545938
>>545946
>You whisper to Banzai about the sun warriors...

Banzai - Oh demon... Demon that infests my dear sister... you can stop this charade. Men, surely you've noticed, this is not Shenzi.

Liver - Figured.

Onion - oh... and here I thought she changed.

Banzai - Ah! but watch your tongues, she still listens... No her body is possessed by our mistresses demonic companion, and a good thing if you ask me, My vile sister needs punishment! And his company is not unwanted, you are a good person, Demon, friend... You want to know about the sun warriors. Well for that you should know that we gnolls back in our homeland, had two... err... what you would call gods. Saoul, the moon, our beloved goddess, her presence brings guidance and her night brings life, the desert lights up with prey and cold, we lived during our goddess night. And Yurra, the benevolent sun. He gives life where the night cannot... And by his long waved sword he punishes those who err from the right path, his is a furry of justice. Gnolls are always born in the moon light, Saoul gives us life and we are grateful of her night. But sometimes, rarely Yurra chooses a gnoll as his son. And this boy, born in the day, is his sun warrior. They keep the peace where those who are weak cannot... But these Sun warriors are almost no more... what gnoll would care for justice, when we are seen as monsters... But it is not our fault! the world pushes us without mercy, and as soon as we push back, the world points, shocked, and calls out... Evil! ... *sigh* And that is why you are wrong, brothers, to insult the sun warriors, because they, unlike you still have faith in what is right!

>The others look down, realizing what they did...

Banzai - We gnolls need more sun warriors, what we need is more men who care about justice and what is right. But no one cares... Mistress Eadoo speaks of such a beautiful utopia... a world I would so dearly love to be part of... Instead of playing the brave for fools, why not join them in the light?! I would gladly play my part. None of us are born in the sun, but surely Yurra wouldn't mind if we borrow his mantle. He is in dire need of servants...

>The gnolls are shocked at Banzais speech... shaken...

Bacon - I... I could not become a sun warrior, I... I don't have the strength...

>Liver says nothing...

Onion - I... I-I will Fight. You are right Banzai, the sun needs warriors and Eadoos path is true, I see it now. So clearly~

Liver - *sigh*

Banzai - It is tradition for a sun warrior to bear the arms and armor of another tribe as a sign of good faith... I think kadage can supply our new hero... I will cover the expenses. *Did I do good, Friend? I doubt Liver will ever drop his pessimism, but he is loyal to a fault.*

>>545942
Banzai - yes traditionally the pack leader chooses her minions names, it shows how far she rules over them...

>>545963
Banzai - Well yes treasure is grand. But Shenzi never told us exactly where it was, she's afraid one of us might nab it from under her nose... Ah here are the others, are there anymore questions before we proceed?

>_ _ _

Going to bed so not gonna do a full response at the moment, but just wanted to say as an out-of-quest aside that Banzai is a serious badass. He doesn't ever have to fight or anything like that, he's just a bamf by nature. Glad he's with us.

>>546031
Banzai, you did real well. It's not about stopping Liver being so pessimistic, it's about raising the morale of every one.

For now the most important thing is to find the alchemist so he can heal the wounded. Now I do not like to use your money, Banzai, but we might have no choice.

Eh, I don't think anyone is really born a warrior, they become one. If you guys really want to become sun warriors then why not, If you need training I'm sure we could find something to help you along.

For now though lets see how far our money will get us before we start using Banzai's. Start with stuff that can heal the sick and wounded, then we'll move on to weapons and armor, and finish with food since mostly everyone in our party knows how to hunt so it's not THAT big of deal. As for what to sell, lets just pawn things that will fetch a good price here and if we don't have to sell the furs now then lets hold on to them, but if we need to then we'll do it when the time comes.

Onion is going to be a paladin? Cool!
are the folks here loyalists or part of the rebellion? Let's find an inn to rest, surely we can afford it.

>>546217
If they're loyalists, we recruit them by having the princess.
If they're rebels, we recruit them by having the princess opposing her father in favor of a populist ruler.

>>546031
Banzai, you did great - it's good to see Eadoo isn't the only one with a knack for motivating; we're very happy to have found a friend among the gnolls like you who has the bravery and foresight to work towards a better life for your people. Onion, we're honored to share company with someone who would dedicate themselves to such a noble cause; we may be called demon, but we're trying to live by Eadoo's example - it's good to see another rising to a higher calling. We're sure you'll do Yurra proud. Liver, don't be such a frownypants, mister. If nothing else, be happy we're finally in town and you can spend some of your wages... which, by the way, how was that handled, under Shenzi?

ooc > Let's get a move on once the others arrive and split up to do shopping / find lodging, check out the alchemist, figure out what there is to do here to relax / have fun. An inn is probably a good place to get directions, unless Banzai already knows where everything is.

>>546217
If he is, guess that makes him an onion knight.

Either way, heal the wounded, get supplies and hopefully keep profile lowish.

Also, not exactly sure how the princess having male junk will work out for her. I mean, it'd certainly make those who go traditional 'men become rulers' types rally with her.

>>546109
Banzai - Thank you friend, I never did hear your name, what is it? And don't worry about my money, I consider it an investment. Surely you will know to repay me, with a fair interest.

>>546145
Banzai - *Onion is not bad with a sword, I've seen his dance... No his weakness is courage, that's why he sports a spear, he fears conflict... I believe a large suit of steel will harder his heart. But if he needs to train, Curd... Err... William, has potential Shenzi never saw, Surely he could train him.*

>>546217
Martin - I wouldn't call them rebels, they're not a fighting type, but they haven't had much connection with the empire in years, they're far from loyalist... Most didn't even recognize my imperial seals or the princess when I passed through here, They weren't pf much help finding her.

>>546239
Eadoo - *Not a bad idea... Maybe we could make this town a foot hold for my kingdom? Also, I've been meaning to ask, whats the difference between an empire and a kingdom?*

>>546250
>Banzai, you did great

Banzai - Thank you friend.

>we may be called demon, but we're trying to live by Eadoo's example

Banzai - humans are taught duality at a young age, that there only exists good and evil and it is native to the roots. But our elders taught us long ago that there is good and evil in all of us, and no one thing can truly be one or the other, even the most frighting of monsters has a heart... That's why I believe in Eadoo's teachings.

>Liver, don't be such a frownypants

Liver - Well that's your opinion, I'd like my right to my own, and in the very least I'll be quiet. But if you want to see me smile, bring me somewhere to warm me feet. It's a warm afternoon, but it's still freezing, fur and hide only goes so far...

>>546311
>it'd certainly make those who go traditional 'men become rulers' types rally with her.

Roza - I'm not sure I understood that, but the sooner it comes off the better... oh I hope I can change back... Why is all this happening to me..?

>You mozy on into the village, its in disrepair but the towns folk don't seem to care too much, life bussles on despire the evident poverty of the town. as you find and move towards the merchant district you're addressed by a poor beggar.

Beggar - *cough!* little... little king... *cough cough* could you be so kind... as... to spare a coin for this poor *weeze* pour soul... I'm so very hungry... surly you have a coin to spare, small king...

>>546477
We can spare one or two coin, after all, being generous to the less fortunate can gain us a good reputation in the eyes of the common people. Some rule with fear, or brutality. But compassion and a firm yet gentle hand work just as well. If not moreso.

Liver > you're right about having the right to your own opinion of course, we were mostly joking with you. Hopefully a warm inn and bed are in our immediate future, as we could all do with a rest. You're also welcome to pick out some warme-well, any clothing while we're here in town... I don't think the official uniform of Eadoo's guard is going to be mostly-naked - despite evidence to the contrary.

Beggar > Yup, definitely gotta give her a coin. It would be nice if we could provide a longterm solution to help her, but I think that's beyond us for now. At least give her enough for a few warm meals. Maybe someone can spare a blanket or hide or something as well, if it's as cold as Liver says. Also, is she missing *both* of her arms? That seems unlikely to happen accidentally, maybe we can ask her how it happened, unless we're worried about upsetting her.

>>546477
A double-amputee? Damn, that's harsh.
Help her up. We'll do better than a coin or two - see about crafting her warmer clothes from the pelts, and she can share our food. Find out what her story is.
As long as we're here we'll take care of her, and if she wants to she can come with us when we leave.

This shall be our kingdom; anyone and everyone who has fallen through the cracks of society. Anyone scorned by "good men" shall come to us and live free.

TLDR; help the beggar.

don't see why not she looks like she could us a meal.

/give Beggar hug 64

>>546477
A double amputee?
In a medieval-esque techno-economic era?

Give her some water.

Ask if they have any duties or responsibilities to some other person/place/thing/spirit.

Check for illusions/Poke her arm-holes.

Ask her to show-off her leg-strength through some feat of jumping, a tight-walking act, or kicking Bacon.

She's got to have some appreciable quality to make up for her lack of arms!

>>546670
To some of the crueler elements, I can see how a poor person with no arms could be used and I don't like it. Get her some coin and something warm to drap on her. A bit of food and water as well, but enough to give her energy.

No coin, since we are borrowing as is, but a meal and one of those furs to cover her.

eadoo has some money from the elf, he can spare a few coins or even invite her to a warm meal.

>>546689
>>546705
>>546677
She needs hands to place the coins in her purse.

Alms are wasted on this poor soul.

>>546677
You may be right. Hands are needed to open doors, or unbind ropes, or grapple attackers.
She's probably being used as a slave slave by the town.

>>546728
> slave slave
How did I miss that typo? I meant sex slave!

I agree that we should be helping her without giving her money. With no arms she has no way of holding or spending it, so she's obviously reliant on someone. She wouldn't be alive otherwise. Furthermore, there's no way to lose arms up to the shoulder in an accident. Someone did this to her.

Now this is a leap, but it's entirely possible that the person who cut off her arms is the one who is taking care of her. Using her as a beggar and taking the proceeds in exchange for taking care of her. Don't assume that, but it bears investigation.

To that end, lets give her a fur for warmth, and take her to get something to eat. The princess should feed her, it'll be a good experience for her to offer comfort to the wretched.

Beggar - Thank you kind sir...

>That seems unlikely to happen accidentally, maybe we can ask her how it happened, unless we're worried about upsetting her.

Eadoo - *I am worried, but I'm also curious...* If you don't mind me asking... what's your name?

Beggar - I can't remember...

Eadoo - You can't?

Beggar - no... But the folks here call me... Creep...

Eadoo - that's not a very nice name... I'm sorry for you... can I ask a few more questions?

Creep - I don't see why not...

Eadoo - how will you buy food with no arms?

Creep - the nice boy from the bakery passes sometimes and feeds me dry bread for my coins... If I'm lucky... if not the guards take it...

Eadoo - the guards?

Creep - they take my money and leave me to starve...

Eadoo - my god! you should tell someone.

Creep - who? the guards? ... it's a lost cause...

Eadoo - how did you... er... loose them?

Creep - ...

Eadoo - I'm sorry... you don't have to...

Creep - I can't remember how I lost my left... I just woke up in the woods... for all I know I never had one... I couldn't make myself useful, and I needed money to live... I borrowed from the wrong guys...

Eadoo - oh my...

Creep - And when they realized I could never pay, they took the other, out of spite and vengeance...

Eadoo - H-Who did this to you?!

Creep - they're long gone... The Gally brothers... ask around, some one will tell you... they left long ago when the royal guard stopped supplying their goods...

Eadoo - How did you survive?

Creep - some kind of twisted miracle... I just healed alright after a month... *sigh* I should died though...

Eadoo - eum...

Creep - Why did I live? ... *sniff* just to freeze, just to starve! *sniff!* I'm nothing! Nothing! *pant-pant* Whats next?! My legs will freeze off! Why am I still here?! *cries* I've tried... I've tried so many times... I'm so weak... I can't *sob* Even end myself... *sniff* I just can't...

>Eadoo feels very uncomfortable...

Creep - *crying* lord... little king... *sniff* thank you for your coin... please... you're a little monster... *sob* can you please... K...Kill... me... I don't want to suffer *sniff* any more...

>The girl seems in total distress, her tears freezing solid on her cheeks

Eadoo - *Eum... g-g-guys... I don't know that to do! I... I don't want to kill her, but... it's what she wants?*

...It's a terrible thing, your life, now. It's a deed best done by us.
I can understand her viewpoint, and I'm willing to bet she's done all she could to make it on her own.
I also don't want to burden Shenzi with this...So we'll need another body to deliver the killing blow, and that will require going out of town, and taking her with us that far, lest we be run off by the gaurds.

>>546785
Hug her.
"No. Nobody deserves this. You're going to get a better life; I'll see to that.
Martin and William, start asking around about the Gally brothers. Find who else they've harmed and where they went. Also see if you can find out which of the guards are corrupt - get them bragging about their crimes and abuse, if you can.
Roz, get her some warm clothes and a hot meal. You'll need to help her with them.

Things will be better now, Creep. You're safe with us."

Cruel, but it's a mercy for someone like her. We couldn't care for her because she truly would burden us down. However allow us to do the deed instead, we will put her down gently.

>>546790
She's a witness to crimes, and dying in total misery would make this even more tragic. She's not choosing to die over living, she's choosing to die less slowly.
We help her, we enact justice on those who wronged her, and we solve the mystery behind her identity. If she still wants to die then, without such horrid circumstances, we can talk about it then.

Are you really, really sure you want to take on an armless beggar? This is going to be a purely bad thing, she'll be a deadweight and worse, hurt our credibility. No one is going to take us seriously if we cart an armless beggar with us. We have a gang of gnolls who respect power, how are they going to react to us picking up a beggar?

The right thing to do here is to grant her her wish right here, as heartless as that is. Just give her a dignified death.

If you are serious about taking her with you, rig up something for William so that he can carry her on his back.

>>546785
She needs warmth and food so that she can function. Her current pleas come from her misery and not her mind. Ask her to join you as your maiden. Also we could make an excellent example of your power with these two crule men and help our sun warriors return to honor.

I wonder how there isn't a healer in this world who can re-grow limbs you would think in a world that has a witch that can make someone grow a penis that someone could re-grow limbs for the right price.
We should ask her if she would reconsider living if we could get her limbs returned.
If not and we decide we are going to kill her I think it would only be right of us to take her to the inn where we will be staying and let her have a night in comfort and warmth, and kill her in her sleep when she is at peace, then bury her in the woods or cemetery, because no one deserves to die out in the cold in a gutter, and also because killing someone in public would probably bring some attention to ourselves in a bad way.

Except that you want that attention.

King, right?

>>546785
I think we should take her with us. If she really really wants us to fulfill her request, we'll send her off with a nice meal and a night with anyone she chooses (if they are agreeable to it), then we'll kill her in her sleep.

But we can't kill her in this town. People know her and we don't need the attention. J
ust do what she asked of us in the woods after we leave, if she still wants us to.

>>546820
I suppose I support this if we fulfill her request - at least try to make her last night happy - or maybe some food and warmth will be enough to make her want to live again.
I think we should try to convince her to keep on living though - maybe with us. She may not have arms, but she still has legs, she wouldn't have to be carried. We can maybe give her a pack of supplies to carry on her back so she can contribute. And like others said, surely someone out there can magic up some replacement arms. Even if it's unlikely that we can find them, it should give her hope. We want to make a place for outcasts, right? Killing one as pathetic as her doesn't seem like the right path to that goal, whether she asks or not.

nope, When life gives you lemons, you take the lemons back! this girl will be saved.
Rozalin, get martin and take this young woman to get clean, new clothes and a hot meal. She doesnt have hands so Rozalin, you'll have to feed her, this will be a humbleing experience for you.
Eadoo, William and us will go check out the alchemist it is top priority.
We can afford this, it was established early on that a single gold coin can feed well a family for a month, so four gold should suffice for all our endevors. including saving this young lass.
And hugs, manny hugs indeed!

>>546822
Was thinking, once she's stronger we may also be able to get Will to train her along with Onion. Surely he knows some martial arts styles that focus on kicks. (I think having students will probably be good for Will spiritually as well, by the way.) Maybe we can have some weapons made that mount on the foot or knee down the line as well. There's no reason she needs to keep being a helpless victim, but the first step onto that road is going to be convincing her that her life has value and we can help her find a place in the world.

Roza - I will not! I am a princess! Eadoo you are my friend, but I do not spoon feed the homeless.

Creep - You're a princess?!

Eadoo - Rozalin, could you please? Besides it would be humbling for you, to help those below...

Roza - *sigh* fine... you've saved my life a few times this week... It's the least I could do...

Eadoo - Thanks Rozalin, you're the best~ Will and I are gonna go see someone about our cuts and wounds. Maybe if we're lucky he can do something about your... eum... pride.

Roza - I hope... Come one you... er... person... don't touch me... just follow.

Creep - thank you princess~thank you.

Roza - your welcome, but thank Eadoo, he's the one who cares.

Creep - H-he?

Roza - Never mind... male and female... it's kinda strange these days...

>Who do you follow<
Eadoo - Rozalin

Roz.

>>547449
Rozalin. Eadoo doesn't really need us right now

Roz

>>547449
Rozalin, we'll walk her through this if we have to.

I'd say Roz, as she may need a little guidance here; however, what about Shenzi's wound? Is it okay, or does it need more attention?

lets follow rozalin but check in every now and again to get updates with eadoo.

Why not follow both? We have two shards now. The Shenzi body can go with Roz and the loose shard can go with Eadoo.

Erith - Good evening~ Oh my! The breasted red feathered knight, what an honor to have you in my shop. I am Erith Avuzugosh, welcome to the pinsBobin.

Martin - thank you, I am the brave knight Sir Martin Jonson.

Erith - Here for your lady friend I presume~?

Martin - Perhaps... But we're mainly here on an errand, a friend of ours wants this street rat clothed.

Erith - The creep? Oh what a lovely act of Charity.

Martin - yes... she needs something warm and beautiful.

Erith - let's see what I have, shall we?

>The suit is composed of a cotton tunic and thick bound padded pants with a hide pancho.

The bear coat is just as it sounds, a long coat made of bear hide, fur, teeth, claws and head.

Martin - Why not?

Roza - it's... kinda... a bear.

Martin - Pish posh! is warm and looks great!

Erith - my husband hunted the beast last month, it's all made from a single brown bear. It'll cost you 30 silver.

Probs the Dwarven coat. Pragmatic, and it ain't the cheap choice. The Creep will appreciate it most.

>>547774
Have to agree.

Definitely the weather coat or the bear coat. The weather coat is practical and warm, which will be important if Creep travels with us. It also looks like it might have more freedom of movement than the bear coat, which would be good if Creep does decide to train with Will. The Pancho thingy also would somewhat hide her missing arms at first glance. That said, the bear coat is, well, a bear, and therefore badass. Definitely want to haggle on that one though - 30 rooks seems like a crazy price for a piece of clothing, no matter how finely made. Unless there's magic to it, charging nearly 30x the price seems like asking a lot. Maybe we can talk Erith (he or she btw?) down, though. We should also ask Creep if she has a preference.

And while we're on being nice to Creep, Martin and Roz, you may be of noble descent, but that doesn't give you any right to treat those less fortunate rudely. Everyone deserves to be shown respect, and a true knight and a good ruler should be marked by their compassion as much as their bravery or good decision making. We know you both well enough to know that you're both good people, (who may be frustrated right now due to recent events, it's true), yet fighting for just causes means little if you can't treat others justly. True we're doing her a charity, but there's no need to rub her nose in it - we can lift ourselves up out of the muck of social schisms just as we lift her up. /end sermon

the bear or the dwarf. she is homeless so warm clothing is best since she'll be outdoors a lot. and truth be told I'm leaning towards the dwarf seeing as it's warm, cheap, and other then some style I don't really see how the bear coat is better. At least not by 29 silvers

Go with the dwarf weathercoat. We'll be going out into the wilds soon enough and if we're taking our friend ( I refuse to call her Creep ) we'll need some clothing to keep her warm. Furthermore it's pretty decent pricewise.

steveshirt sweater. come on people, steve has never failed us.

Psshh! Forget Roz's opinion, that Dwarven Weathercoat thing looks pretty cool! It's the best choice in all ways. The knit sweater and socks don't look too bad... but it looks like her theighs might get a bit chilly. We should ask our unarmed friend her opinion tho.

Also, where is our other shard? It'd be best if it was with Eadoo's group during this split up. What if the alchemist is crazy or has been seeking kobold and gnoll organs for potions and has sleeping drugs or something and he's immune to pain, and they can't do enough damage with their sluggish bodies falling asleep and they were left wishing they could have stabbed our shard into the guy before falling asleep or something...

Point being, worst case scenario, stabbing our shard into 1 enemy to stop them is easier than taking them down and turns their skills to our side, like then we could use the alchemist's body and knowledge to heal them or something...

The weather coat is a nice choice. Buy the Steve shirt since its cheep, for child winter nights near fireplaces, plus itll look like a dress on eadoo. But money isn't really an issue, eadoos got 160 silver is pelts. If she chooses to live fter this well buy her the fashion coat as . gift

>>547766
Dwarven coat. Pay to have it outfitted with a hood so her head and ears will stay warm.

Eadoo - But... but isn't there something to do?

Nisse - Sorry... it's alchemy, not miracles... But I can fix your friends ribs and clean out that knife wound... Why does it need to stay in exactly Eh?

Eadoo - hhmnn... Can I not answer that?

Nisse - Hahaa! Don't ask don't tell~ Gotyah! I'll respect your privacy mate. it'll be 20rooks a shot.

Eadoo - and it'll fix us up?

Nisse - For~sure, might need a little rest though, I'll stay in town a few more days, so you don't need ta worry, I ain't a cheet.

Eadoo - *Oh Gatling, you're back, are things going well? This person, is selling potions of all sorts, how many should we buy?*

Nisse - Might I say, your sound mighty cute miss Eadoo. You're no human, may I ask where you're from Eh? Me eyes don't work right.

Eadoo - I'm from here, just in the forest, I'm a kobold.

Nisse - A kobold Eh? Never herd of one up nord befar. But Special cases right~? I'm a strange mix meself. Troll and gnome, it's called a nisse. hence the name~

nice to meat cha, what do you have for sale and at what prices?

If these potions are like potions I've heard of, something to heal wounds might ought be stocked up on well, and possibly a few to cure common ailments such as something for poisons and toxins and maybe one or two to cure paralysis, and perhaps something to clear clouded vision, or a remedy for a befuddled mind... Each of those just a few, since they are only precautions for rarer situations anyhow...

Maybe it's best to know what he even has in stock and at what prices before deciding what to get and how many exactly.

>>548246
Well if the alchemist is going our way, maybe he'd like to tag along until the next town or something.

>>548262
Agreed, we should at least propose the idea. The more the merrier, and if we win her over to our cause, an alchemist would certainly be a valuable companion.

As to which potions we might want, it depends on exact effects and price, I think.

>>548262
Yes, winning the Alchemist to out side would indeed be good. Is Nisse a he or she tho? It can be proposed casually like "We're leaving town in a few days too, which way are you headed? Perhaps we can travel together."

But if the don't accept, or even if they do, we should get details on their inventory to decide what we need and how much.

She has boobs, but that never meant a damn so far.

>>548295

Actually, that seems oddly true... Eadoo has boobs, but also a dick, and Roz has boobs, but now also has a dick, Martin has boobs but is evidently a man? Shenzi has boobs, but has a dick, kind of... pseudo penis thing... I think the elf at the inn has been the only female who's privates were revealed and was proven 100% female...

>>548306
To clarify: Martin is 100% biologically female, but identifies as a man, which is what we care about.

At the risk of further side tracking, Eadoo and Roz both got their extra bits from Chaos witch hijinks; Martin is a female to male transgender; and Shenzi's anatomy is I think the norm for gnoll females or else a third gender situation common to goals - either way not the result of magic as far as we know. As for Erith and Nisse, I think they both present as female (despite the beard) so that's probably the way to address them until/unless we outright ask them. Creep too for that matter.

>>548451
That may be true, but what if it was just some fatty tissue in their chest and they are male and would be offended? Besides that, I was just saying it's oddly true that the statement "She has boobs, but that never meant a damn so far." was oddly(and comically) true so far.

Also, we need to get back on track for what to do about potions.

Yeah, true; their gender really doesn't matter anyway I guess, since we're just buying stuff from them at the moment. I think we're just waiting to hear some details on the potion selection before we talk turkey.

>She pulls up and truffles through bottles, smelling and counting them...

Eadoo - *eum... to answer your question... she is a woman... by the looks of it*

Nisse - Ahh~ err we go! So...
I've got a few bottles a remedy for basic sickles, simple stuff 10 teeth a bottle

Tashers! clears your mind after a night of drinking, big seller~ cheep too! 3coppar.

medical wines here... it's small, but these potions can cure big cuts and broken bones, give em a few days though eh... 20rooks. they ain't cheep...

now that's what I've got in profusion, but in case of a kerffufle, you might want some more road worthy bottles...
Refined bull extract, one shot and you can lift a cart far shar, 25 rooks.

smokewines, open tha stopper and it'll fill a house with thick black smoke eh. 18 coppar.

This green stuff dat I ain't got a name far yet, it'll keep yah awake far a few days, but ya'll sleep like tha dead far just as long right afta, 2 silvar far a shot.

I've got me some dwarven candies made of fungal shrooms and granite... Chianties Ah think they calls it. It'll make yah a real hoser far a while, 2 coppar a piece, though i ain't got many... about 16...

*she holds out a pink bottle wrapped in a scarf* now this is a dangerous one... It's a kaffle of pheramanes... just tha smell drives women folk crazy... It's rather cheep ta make, but the havak it cazes... Can't let it off far less than 15 silvar eh~?

Cat eyes here... can't go without night vision, 7 coppar

This white gunk tastes like ell~ but it'l make yar sweat sticky enuf ta climb on walls... 3 rooks a bottle I've gat 5...

we calls this one a doubledouble... *she holds out a strange bottle with two separate payloads, one with black liquid the other with and orange slime* when the bottle breaks and the two mix, BAM! be sure yar far from it eh? Hehee and it'll leave fire Everawere~ I hear it's a sight ta behold~ I've only got two and they're 25 rooks a piece. but I'll sell both far 45eh~

Aside from that I've gat some specials that I'd ill advise drinken, unless you really... really need ta... So far ya safty, I'll keep tham to meself... and if ya'll be staying a while, I could whip ap a batch-a what yah like, I've got a big ol bag oh tricks eh~ tell me what yah need...

Eadoo - Can you make a woman into a man or a man into a woman?

Niss - ... Nah... sarry... I wasn't gonna ask, so I ain't, but I can smell yar junk, dontcha worry tho, it's fine eh...

>>548291
Eadoo - Eum... where are you headed? We're straying here for a few days to heal but after we're off... maybe we could stay together a while?

Nisse - Am going to the capital soon... hopping maybe I can land a few good conties... If yar going mah way, I don't see why not eh~?

>_ _ _

the capital? well -- it may be in our favor to stay close to her. Perhaps Garnering trust could lead to discounts?

hmm, tell you what, We're heading off to the capital as well so how bout we make a deal? you give us a nice little discount on your wares and we'll be so grateful that we'll be your convey's personnel guard all the way there, and don't worry we have a few more of us running through the city so it's not just who you see here. So what do you say?

Are we really that directionless? I thought we were going to stay here and try to gain some influence in the area.

>>548946
We'll we do need some healing for Shenzi so buy 3 medicinal wine (I expect to use one for her) and 5 remedies. That should be 1g 24s 2c for that. Also we might want to think about the smokewines, cat eye potion and climbing potion.

>>549043
But yeah, we should ask her this first. We should be headed in the same direction.

>>549046
That seems like a good shopping list to me, and we should definitely pick up at least one of the cats eye and smoke potions, and all of the climbing potions since they are fairly cheap.

Tell her we'd be happy to travel together, but we just arrived today and were planning on staying at least a few days to rest and ask around town to see if we can find any who are interested in supporting our cause. Our goal is to create a kingdom where the disenfranchised and neglected of this kingdom - the unwanted, the "freaks", the "monsters" - can find a true home. One where they would be welcome to live in peace - where a gnoll could be chancellor or a troll could be queen.

That is our dream, and that is why our group already includes gnolls who were bandits, a knight, a princess, and a little bold with big dreams.

We should get a few bottles of the remedy, maybe 2 or 3, in case anyone gets sick, good to have. Some Tashers! it might be more useful than just a hangover remedy, such as if an enemy can confuse the mind it might help clear it. We should definately get a couple of the medicinal wines for the road, maybe one Refined Bull Extract, in case someone gets trapped under a boulder or something else terrible happens.

Also a smokewine or two for quick getaways from enemies too strong or if the party is in danger. I don't know if the green stuff that keeps you awake is useful yet, but maybe get one in case a use comes up. Get a few Cat's Eye, maybe 3 or so, they aren't too expensive and night vision sounds super useful. Maybe 1 or 2 of the climbing potion... Get both Doubledouble, those sound super useful, enemy is too strong, blow them up, or need to blow anything up, so useful.

Soo... my shopping list includes...
3 Remedy-30 teeth
3 Tashers!-9 teeth
2 Medicinal Wines-20 rooks
1 Refined Bull Extract-25 rooks
2 Smokewines-18 copper(/teeth?)
1 Green Insomnia Potion-2 silver(/rooks?)
3 Cat's Eye-21 copper(/teeth?)
2 Climbing Potion-6 rooks
2 Doubledouble-45 rooks
So 2 crowns 24 rooks 6 teeth, these are what I think we should get to be prepared for most any situation, hopefully one person can scale a cliff and throw down a rope, and one person can see at night and guide the party and such forth. And these would just be for the road, so perhaps a bit more for what we need in the here and now, and of course anything else you think we need.

rolled 50 = 50

I agree, we should get a little of everything. including the pheramones, do they only affect women? And exactly what does the remedy cure? We can afford it easily if we sell the pelts, I say we ask Banzai to sell them off for as much as possible and check in with Roza

So... remind me why we don't do murder?

Hrrm. Sounds like Martin got caught in the anti-nobility anger the pesantry have. I'm PRETTY SURE we actually knew about this before hand, but I can't say I expected her to get caught in it!
Here's my thoughts: Yes she's being rude. Good thing she doesn't want our coin though, because if she did, her attitude would have cost her establishment more than a few coppers I think.
Turn and walk away, I can't say I can think of a reason to make this violent, aside from her insulting in your general vicinity-notice how her insults are not necessarily towards you but to those in your occupation, for the most part.

>>549958
Yeah, but it mentioned the gender thing. That's personal for Martin.

Myself, I'm not willing to take any shit from elves, midgets/children, or people with that expression on their faces. Kill it. It might lead to some trouble down the road, but we can deal with it and it'll be well worth it to see the little cunt bleed.

We kill people for looking at us funny now? Good to know.

Not a very smart person, considering that the Nobility allows them to have all this. It'd be very, very easy to suddenly find that her taxes never came and that there's suddenly people seeing that they store murderers..

Would be so easy to kill her, but don't, it's better to ruin someone and let them lament their choices in life then having a momentary cathartic pleasure. Specially with one of such noble blood Martin.

>>549950
Sheathe your weapon! Such conduct is unbecoming of a knight.
"I earned my knighthood through merit and service, not happenstance of birth. While that may make me lesser nobility, I earn my keep in blood and pain.
I don't begrudge discontentment towards the upper nobility, but your hypocrisy disgusts me. For all your hatred of the nobility, what are you to Creep besides incredibly wealthy? What help did you offer her as she slept in the snow?

Sadly, as you have said you are the only inn in town, so let me make clear to you what a proper knight embodies.
I came here to rent a room for Creep and her new caretaker. You will give her a decent room, and I will pay that room's list price. You will see to it that they are both accommodated well.
You will do this because it is the right thing to do. If you were a decent person I wouldn't have even had to ask you to help her.

If you seek the moral high ground against a knight, then take care where you set your footing. Justice is my life; morality my blood."

>>549965

This, no killing please.

>>549950
wow madam, I had no idea that paying for a room for someone with no arms, money, or home because we're trying to be DECENT people was such a smug, selfish thing to do. I mean trying to help someone who's even worse off then you because we're such shallow, selfish, high strung nobles while you sit there like a saint turning down people who are even worse off then you and actually do starve while no one gives a shit about them all in the name of the working class? wow I hope one day we can became as morally righteous as you. Just think how much better the world would be if we where all more like you.

wait the only inn and hostel in town is also a brothel?and its run by a little girl! Okay what ever.
As snarky as she is, she's kinda right. Nobles are generaly asholes, and if theres an entire rebelion against them, they've probably been right assholes lately. plus something about the royal guard not comming around anymore?
But you dont have to take it Martin! You're a proud knight who works hard. Dont kill her, but make her understand that she wants to serve you, a proud knight of valor and.

>>549965
This. Martin should say this, or something like it. It's a very appropriate sort of thing to do in this situation.

>>550038
The "child sized elf" is probably not a child, or is only a child by elven standards, like in D&D type games Elves don't reach "adulthood" until they are 110. So this "child" could be like 80 or something, while still juvenile by elven standards, she'd be a full adult by most other racial standards.

The very knighthood, who's guards are supposed to be routing though this very town for your protection and that of the merchant caravans... I couldn't help but notice that you have not seen of us in quite some time... I was not informed of this and am personally outraged to see so many innocents deprived of a basic right that we nobles offer you, yet you still pay our taxes? It's preposterous! And I will not stand for it. I will make sure my superiors hear my anger on the subject.

Concu - Well... It's good to hear that some knights still care about the plight of humanity~ Keehee... I will give you reason to return fair knight, I suppose you will be staying?

Martin - Not long...

>_ _ _

Creep looks either awkward or bothered. Upon receiving room, you should see if you can get whats wrong out of her.

welp, now just sit her down in a nice spot and order her something nice, Its so nice of you to help a poor beggar like this martin. Rozalin you could learn from his kindness. And what exactly did she mean about that last part? seeing as its a brothel I'd expect compagny in your room tonight.

>>550561
I'd agree with this except that can we feed our friend in our room. I don't want to put her in a spot where she'll get gawked at. Keep it private.

Yep to all of the above. Order for the room and maybe ask the innkeeper to send the company to some of the gnolls or someone else who might appreciate it, since presumably neither you or Roz are interested.


Btw... where the hell did Roland get to in all this? Has he just been hanging in the background, or has he scarpered?

Creep - I... i just dont know how to react... I've always understood that I was worthless... and now all this... I still cant believe I'm worth the trouble. Juts a... pour armless beggar... I doesn't do me justice...

Martin - Pish Posh, Its my pleasure to help a poor beggar such as yourself.

>Creep looks at him in confusion, as if sensing lies.

Martin - At first I thought it all below me, but now I feel so much good in helping someone as "Worthless" as yourself. I see why Eadoo wants you to live. to enjoy life...

Creep - I dont deserve to...

Martin - well you will, and if you fail to enjoy this short time, I'll gladly give you anything you want, even death...

>Creep is lead to the room. its big enough for four...

Creep - Just who is Eadoo? Is he really king?

Roza - no.

Martin - Yes.

Roza - no she's not.

Martin - He's as much king as you're a man.

>Rozalin glares angrily as she blushes.

Martin - He's only as much a king as he believes himself to be. He is king, but its all meaningless, he's king of nothing at all. but he has a strong idea in his head. I find it all rather inspiring, but its a dangerous game he's playing. The empire is not a good competitor to have.

Smith - why do you need such hi quality poilishing oils sir, those are far more than good enough.

Roland - My sword is very very special to me, I wish to treat it as you would a wife...

Smith - *sigh* H-how very... okay... I can have better oils brought, but it will be costly and take time...

Roland - by all means, we will most likely stay a few days, maybe weeks...

Banzai - so these prices are resonable?

Roland - yes of course, but why gold?

Banzai - gold leaf, it must not hinder, but it must be as golden as the sun.

Onion - oh and please put this letter on the chest

Banzai - Y? why?

Onion - it is the sun gods name in words... in our language.

Onion - I dont blame you... can I have it on the chest?

Eadoo -perfect. I will buy some medicine for your sister, willam and I. And then, some new clothes...

>please illustrate desired costume<

>>551870
We need tight leather pants and a blousey top that shows of cleavage. Eadoo has great assets on both sides of the coin and should proudly show them off.

Maybe a frilly coat matching the crown? And loose pants, wouldn't want her junk being too stuffed up. Purple pants would look good if shes got any. And some boots

Want to draw something up, but work has me too drained... maybe next day off

Something powerful, something commanding and something with pants.

Eadoo will need fancy clothes to match her crown. Perhaps just a cape to match the crown, red with white fluffy border perhaps with an emblem for her new kingdom on the rise in gold on the back. Whatever clothes should complement the crown as well and look fairly nice. Perhaps warm colos and white and brown?

The dwarven tailor measures Eadoo from top to bottom and sketches out her idea, which eadoo approves of lovingly.

Erith - I have the resources to make the cloak but it will take some time to produce, and I could mix some purple die if you want, but I cant make much, I'll have to blend it with grey...

Eadoo - I think it will look marvelous

Erith it should take a few days and I'll need your fitting every now and again.

Erith - you'll find the cloak and royal pantaloons far more comfortable mylord.

Eadoo - then I am even more exited! I will pay in you palm and hand!

Eadoo - Now now, I have some busyness to attend to, if you need me... well I'm easy to spot.

QUEST COMPLETE [Category:Main Arc]
~Acquire Pants~

>Eadoo leveled up Rogue Lv.6

Give +5 to two different stats and pick one of the following perks...
Pilfering hands [+5 to slight of hand]
Song bird [+10 to singing]
Succubus kiss [mystical ability] [can bend subjects to her will during or directly after an act of passion]
Language of love [mystical abillity] [Eadoo and a subject understand each other, regardless of language, during an act of passion]
Field commander [+15 fellowship when positioned in front of his unit]
Trustworthy [subjects are 10% more likely to confine secrets to eadoo]

>Gatling has also leveled up. Sentient shard Lv.8

choose one of the following perks...
greater telepathy [you can read the surface thoughts of those not in your party]
Tongues [You vaguely understand any language]
Multy-possession II [dominate up to 3 hosts at a time]
Recal [instantly recall to an ally's hand within a short distance [same as telepathy]]

>_ _ _

>>554171
Close up the front on the pants, add sleeves to the shirt, and bring the neckline closer to the neck. You can keep the ruffles, but the shirt should be close enough to have a collar.
Also, get a red hood you can put on and at least two pairs of gloves - black or brown would complement the outfit the best.

Remember, it's winter and you're going to be traveling. Dress warmly and wear clothing that grants some protection.

Succubus Kiss
Trustworthy

Greater Telepathy

>>554171
For the stats I'd choose Weapon Skill and Constitution. Eventually we're going to be getting into combat and this will ensure we are capable in it. As for the feats I'd choose Field Commander and either Trustworty or Succubus Kiss.

For Gatling we can just get Tongues. Language of Love is good, but with Tongues we can simply combine it with our telepathy to translate directly into the minds of party members.

Also we should probably get William started back on his monk training.

Question: Does an "Act of Passion" have to be of the erotic kind? Because Passion can be many different things.

>>554184
IIRC pretty much anything romantic counts.

Right now Eadoo has lots of followers speced for combat, so she doesn't really need to focus on that. Her fellowship is good, but getting a bonus while addressing her already-loyal troops isn't the most useful at the moment.
Eadoo's strongest at diplomacy, and building her into an unstoppable social force is an efficient division of powers.

Being able to know what people are thinking will make it MUCH easier to manipulate and persuade people.

Still, accurate throwing is always useful, so:
+Fellowship
+Throwing
We can take Recall next level, and Eadoo will then have unlimited Gatling works with which to hit an enemy.

Succubus kiss and tongues.

Succubus kiss, Field Commander.

Greater Telepathy.

I'd say we should focus on her strengths for now as we would have to sink a lot of levels in constitution before Eadoo would be very durable - better to get stats that will help us put more and more comrades between us and the things that want us dead. So ballistic for the spare Gatling shard and fellowship for swelling the ranks and strengthening the bonds of those we already have. (Agree we should try to nudge Will back onto the path to monkiness - maybe giving starter lessons to Creep if she's interested would be a way to get him on the right path).

Field Commander seems like the best choice for us right now as in any serious negotiations we'll want to be standing with our soldiers and retinue behind us anyway (such as when we finally get Roz home). Will also be useful in a tough fight where can lead a charge to convince some of our more mercenary fighters might think about not throwing themselves against terrible odds. Risky, but so is a route.

Greater telepathy is tempting, but I think Recall is going to provide Eadoo with an inexhaustible superior weapon to toss in a fight - given half our forces are gnolls it won't hurt to be able to do some impressive killings in a fight to cement our position as king and all around badass.

Lol I should really proofread *before* I post

Our last several fights almost killed us every time. Lets do what we can to appease the dice gods.
+throwing
+constitution
Trustworthy because there is no way to make friends faster than convincing them to share there secrets with you.

Recall will let us teleport to whomever is in the best position to throw us and to bring ourselves back after the dice invariably betray us. No more worrying about our enemy's getting hold of us after a non lethal throw and being able to move ourselves to where the action is can't hurt either.

+throwing
+constitution

succubus kiss
tongue

>Back to martin... Martin settles into a comfortable room sized for two at his own expense with Rozalin and Creep.

>>550578
Martin - you two stay here and make yourselves comfortable... I'll be back with something to eat for all of us...

>Martin moves to Rozalin with a serious look, holding out his sword.

Martin - they don't like us here... stay armed princess. *he says offering her his rapier*

>And with a click he leaves out the door, locking it behind him... Trotting down the stairs he orders up a hot meal for three.

Martin - How much will it be?

Waitress - for such a guest of honour... it wont cost you a thing...

Martin - I refuse~! You all work hard and deserve your pay. And I of all people, should pay, seeing as I can afford it. I am a no good noble after all~

Waitress - I... I see... Well then... here's the tab.

Martin - and a tip for you to share with your comrades~

Waitress - thank you mam!

>Martin flairs his nose in disgust at the pronoun but holds his tongue.

Martin - your mistress told of some services? I am not interested and neither is my lady, but if you still wish to send pleasantries, I have a few friends who will also be staying the night who might enjoy such things... six gnolls and a kobold. don't send them to my squire, he's chaste.

Waitress - I'll send the message along mam~

>Martin scurries back up the stairs but is blocked upstairs at the corridor by a strange looking figure...

Stranger - Might I ask what you think you're doing?

Martin - Excuse me?

Stranger - what is it you have planned for this poor girl?

Martin - a night of warmth and comfort. Why, do you think that's wrong?!

Stranger - And why would you care about such a person? Why would someone like you, care about someone like her? I'm not buying that sappy, it's the right thing to do, story. What's your angle, noble swine.

>_ _ _

He wouldn't believe the truth even if you tried to explain it to him I bet. Sooo...Let's play up the vengance angle-SOMETHING BAD had to happen to leave her like that, and we're looking into it.

>>555580
"Your words of concern would bear more weight had she not been suffering from a lack thereof. I know of only two others who have taken to aid her at all, and you are neither a noble kobold nor a baker's boy. Believe what you will.

Unless you can point me to the ones who took her arm there is little for us to discuss."

There's no way that they believe there isn't some sort of angle. Fortunately, there are a few that are true.

The creation of a kingdom of outcasts; helping one of those who are at the bottom of the social order shows that King Eadoo cares about the common and unfortunate, which would lead to the spread of his generosity and existence to others in similar situations.

Order in the Kingdom; this town pays taxes, and therefore is entitled to the King's protection. A gesture of goodwill can serve to prevent an uprising while the appropriate forces can be sent to cleanse the town of corruption.

In more immediate terms, and probably the one that would be good to reveal, Martin is currently under orders to do this. Eadoo wants this beggar provided for to serve his purposes, and far be it from a Knight to go against what the King desires.

>>555711

Agreed Darl, but mention of a "King" in the inn might set this person and any other anti-royalists or criminal elements into a bit of a tizzy. This one seems to have some sort of power, if the darkness fizzing out of him is has been noticed.

Insist that Martin is currently following a simple request of his kind and dear friend. If there is some concern for this fine woman's well-being, their party would enjoy the company of people who care for this woman.

Doubt this will stop him from trying to act or plot, but it might prolong him for a short bit. If he goes away, finish escorting our new friend, then get a buddy or two and try to figure out who this person might be.

Stranger - I would have helped her myself had I seen her before you, there's no doubt. What I'm asking is why a noble in this town would care about the poor? We cannot trust you!

Martin - *sigh* I admit, and it pains me to drop down from my moral highgrounds, thought it has been a fulfilling experience, Helping creep was not my initial intent, a kind friend of mine put me to it, even using a debt to bind me to the act... But for its worth I wont consider that debt payed. I've been scoffed at enough to realize the state of this town and its inhabitants, I will see that it is better maintained. The peasants here pay their taxes and deserve its benefits.

Stranger - very well... your kind friend, helps people often?

Martin - why do you care, darkone...

>The grey skinned man tucks his hood more so the smoke stops seeping out

Stranger - Clearly you see me as evil... and I have no doubt there's nothing I can do to change that image... I'm simply curious of this friend of yours, a baker's boy who's friends to a knight?

Martin - Not quite... Eadoo is a kobold.

Stranger - a Kobold?

Martin - Indeed, a kobold with a heart of gold. His dream is that of a kingdom of outcasts, built on acceptance and generosity. And Idea I'm slowly beginning to adopt myself.

Stranger - A kingdom of outcasts?

Martin - Yes, now if you're done questioning me, I would like to get back to feeding the poor before the food gets cold.

Stranger - Where can I meet this Eadoo?

Martin - somewhere in town, he's not hard to poke out of a crowd.

>Martin leans in close

Martin - bear in mind darkone, if you bring any hard to him, you will see my bad side...

Stranger - I'll keep that in mind, red noble.

>She picks up a deck of tarot cards and shuffles very elegantly. one by one she plays them on the table before you...

Baba - Pardon my eyes... could you tell me what cards I've drawn?

The Death, Ace of Coins, and Ace of Spades...
Hrrm. Wonder what that means?

So death 12?, then the inverted ace of coins, and then the ace of spades.

The Death, Reversed Ace of Coins, Ace of Spades.
Death typically signifies great change (Not actual death). Ace of coins(pentacles) represents wealth, reversed usually means corruption/loss of wealth/possessions or greed. Ace of spades(swords) is representative of fresh starts and new beginnings.

Those are generic meanings of the cards and the reading can differ depending on context.

>>558626
That's the wrong kind of ace. That's the Ace from a poker deck.

Baba: If you can't tell us our past, then how about the past of the blade itself?

>>558640
Are they from our perspective or her perspective? If hers, coins isn't reversed, the other two are.

>>558693
Baba - from my your perspective please... The death signifies renewal, for better or for worst, its best to accept these changes, no matter how grim they might be... The present is the ace of coins inverted, this means that you're having good wealth and better living, this is a blessing to be had... The last card is your future.

Eadoo - it's the upside down sun.

Baba - that means things will go well for you, if you count your blessings and understand how and why. Be respectful of your blessings and don't it anything on fate...

Hmm... seeking out some nicer equipment would do us well. Can we give our second blade a proper handle? Seeking information about that smokey person and seeing if they might be trouble or if they could be made an ally might be a productive use of our time.

>Eadoo brings you to the forge to get you a new hilt and make you look like a weapon.

Eadoo - hello! can I get a hilt and handle made for this knife?

Smith - For this? ehh... it's... not really a knife... I guess... I'd have to bang at it a bit.

Dwarf - Let me see it! Hmmnn... It's proper good metal but it ain't a knife for two teeth. I'd be surprised if it could cut it's way through the receipt.

Eadoo - it's served me quite well.

Dwarf - Well I can't make a hilt or handle for it unless I rework it into a new blade.

Eadoo - I guess...

Dwarf - Don't worry about it's magic powers...

Eadoo - you could tell?!

Dwaft - course! What kind a smith would I be if I couldn't? Yah flea ridden varmin! It's not an enchanted blade though, not with this quality, I reckon it's just touched by some power. I can melt it down and it wont be bothered...

Smith - but you'll have to tell us what it's gonna be for...

Eadoo - well throwing or stabbing.

Smith - those are very different, could you specify?

Eadoo - well mostly throwing, but being able to fight with it would be great. Then again I have other knives...

Smith - I see, what kind of throw do you have?

Eadoo - straight hand mostly... if it goes in I'd like it to stay in as much as possible, for the magic to affect at it's fullest, also for a straight stab to be less lethal is better.

Smith - hmmn... yeah I suppose. What do you say, Monom?

Dwarf - This metal is cobalt rich meteorite, we'll need to make an bronze or iron alloy to work with it, or it'll be too brittle...

Smith - so a Damascus blade... Lovely... So! a final answer?

A)Throwing knife with hooked barbs
B)Balanced dagger good for throwing.

Hmm. Choice A might the best for now. Maybe if we ever get our blade out of Shenzi or maybe even another blade, a proper fighting knife could be made.

Option A: Let us bleed into the enemy better.

On another note, we're going to be so pretty! :)

Throwing knife of course!

I'd say barbs so once we're in we're really in. Eadoo has been fairly accurate so far and I think she will continue to improve her throwing so let's trust her to get us to the target. We can also think about reforging our other shard down the line. Either something better for close combat if we ever think Shenzi can be trusted alone or else something less damaging for her or another long term... vessel like a long needle or even hook that can be worn more like a piercing. Firmly in there but not so deep.

>>558916
>You poke in on Shenzi... Still bound and alone, her breathing is deep and irregular, her eyes are constricted and shaking, a puddle of herself lathers the chain before her.

Shenzi - Ggrr... Fuck off... I d-don't want your help... You Cock sucking scum fucking asshole...

Puddles of person is disquieting. How are you feeling, Shenzi?

It's less help and more along the lines if you follow you'll become better off. Unless of course you truly enjoy this sort of existence.

Are you in pain, Shenzi?

-Shenzi: We don't want to help you, we want you to help yourself. You're not a stupid woman. At least part of you must know that what we've been telling you is true. We only want to be able to walk side by side with you as you become a stronger person. Don't you want the chance to make a difference in this world? To make a mark? Together we can do that.

-to the collective: Shit, that looks like blood all over her chains, soooo her soul? Her essence? Are we causing her permanent harm here? I know what she's done and what she probably would have / would do to us, but if there's a danger of killing her I don't think it's right for us to keep this up. This is very different from bodysnatching a corpse. We're trying to be good guys here.

>>559188
Agreed, we should be wary of what long-term effects of our occupation might cause to our hosts. That said, it looks like tears and that she's been crying.

Aah, Shenzi. Poor lass. A lot of us want to see you get better, you know? what's been troubling you? We're safe, you don't have to worry about anyone else right now. We're doing our best to take care of you.

>>559188


We are of neutrality. We ourselves prefer a more stern hand then one of pure friendship and hugs, leaving ourselves open to someone could potentially cause ourselves and our charges harm.

pretty sure the puddle is semen... ghost semen

>>559190

We are multiple personalities or consciousnesses in control of two knives. "We" do not all agree nor do "we" think the same. Generally.

more of just checking in on you then anything else. While we may be invaders here it still would be in very poor taste if we didn't at least check in on our host from time to time. And while I know we can't really make you comfortable (with the stealing your body and what not) that doesn't mean we should further torment you or leave you trapped her to rot in your own body. I mean even if it's just us we having SOMETHING to talk to has to be better then being always alone. We may be monsters but that doesn't mean we have to be dicks about it.

>>559171
Well, you seem to be enjoying yourself.
Since you're so uncooperative you clearly don't want to help us decide what we do with your body.
I'm thinking we'll put it in a dress. A pink one. With lots of frills.
Of course, since the fur would ruin any delicate fabric we would have to shave it all off.
Hmm... Maybe a poodle cut?

Burned into my mind like hot iron! On each inch of my memories written a thousand thousand times Hate hate hate, but for you... HATE!! HATE!!!

>Shenzi passes out. drippings of her drooling from her mouth...

>_ _ _

I think we should tell Eadoo about all of this. Would rather not destroy Shenzi from the inside out but if we let her go she would try to kill everyone.

So lets tell the boss whats happening inside and let her decide what she wants us to do.

...I'm not sure if we're erasing just her memories or what but this is giving us a good insight on what happens when we possess living people without banishing them.

I think we should let Eadoo know about this But if she leaves it up to us our options would be
A) drive out her soul/sprite like we did with the boggy man we had earlier
B)release our hold on her and HOPE TO GOD we can control her
C) do nothing and just watch and see what happens to her.

Well shit. It seems like there's really not going to be any way to convince her. At least not with what we've tried... sucks, she'd have been a badass bodyguard for Eadoo.

Best case scenario we're... rewriting her programming? After which she'll probably either be a shell of her former self or someone else entirely. Changing her is what we were after, but... like this... I don't know.

We should definitely bring Eadoo in on this. This is a decision for the leader. And Banzai at least also deserves to know. There may be no love lost, but they're still siblings. It's also possible he may have some idea of what could break through to her so our choices aren't so limited. Also... Ed... maybe? Or his mysterious friends. They certainly would be familiar with dreamscapes and may be able to tell us for certain what's happening.

Personally I say that sponging her away to a blank host is not an option. A clean execution if she is truly irredeemable would be more noble than that. If we're rewiring her into a different person... that's pretty much just as evil, but at least the new her would have a chance at life?

This is some very murky water. (neat!)

We need to inform Eadoo about this. Maybe we can release her from her mental/spiritual chains but maintain control of her body, but first we have to calm her and make her understand the situation.

Shenzi! Do you understand why you are not dead, when by all rights you should be? There is a knife buried in your body, in a place that made you drop instantly. In any other situation you would be dead. But you're not. Do you understand why?

>>559289
I think it fits in perfectly with our duel angel and demon traits

I mean it fits the demonic side because we have her trapped inside her own body as her spirit seems to be slowly dissolving while we hijack her body but the angelic in the fact that we are trying to redeem her and if she redeems herself she'll be able to go free and as a better person. A bit carrot and stick here but it's cool none the less.

>>559289
It wouldn't feel right to wash her nemories away, after all. Our memories make her, well, her.
And what if we fuck it up huh?
Anyway, we should tell Eadoo about this as soon as we can.

>>559296

It might not be right, but it's certainly the most useful option.

>>559311

Oh yeah just erase her memories, not like we're supposed to be the good guys or anything. We need to figure out exactly why she's breaking down instead of taunting her and trying to talk to her right now, there has to be someone who knows exactly how we "work" who can help us with this, because obviously none of us have any clue how to really deal with this issue at the moment.

>>559316

We are? I thought we were trying to help Eadoo accomplish her own objectives? Not that we aren't of Neutrality rather then angelic good.


Erasing her mind would ease her pain, she's trained entirely for something different and as a result we cannot fight her own her own terms for personal conquest and dominance, as a result this would be the 'best' option for helping her through. We can retain some parts of her memory if we wish, but she will never cater to a standard friendship.

We aren't of anything. We aren't a hivemind. We're a bunch of random argumentative strings of text.

The only thing in common is that we want to make Eadoo king. And kings make decisions about their subjects, don't they? Tell Eadoo about this. Eadoo decides what to do with her. We can advise, but if we do, so should the others.

>>559257
[Prevent her from deteriorating]

Yea, lets tell Eadoo. It's hard to determine exactly what is going on in here, but she's certainly going stir-crazy at the very least.

>>559318

Because I remember in a previous thread we were more than happy to say we were trying to make Eadoo a good king, and erasing someone's memories to further our own goals is only going to hinder that progress when she suddenly gets the memories back later on because of another fuck up. We need to figure out why she's falling apart and how to prevent it if we've completely lost and doomed our current "host".

>>559321

What we are is deciding what happens next, which means that a mistake we make now will bite us all in the ass later, and suggestions we make shouldn't be lazy for the sake of convenience on our part. Even if the final decision is up to Eadoo our suggestions are what influences her verdict.

Tell Eadoo something's going really wrong and we need to investigate.

>>559326

We are trying to make her a good king, and it needs some measure of practicality.

And there is no guarantee that she will regain her memories at any point so long as we are prudent enough to trim the issues.

There is no reason to continue helping her along when she is going to be combative to the point of self destruction.

>>559330

>No guarantee she will get them back

There's also no guarantee she won't. You should at least try before just giving up. If we get over this then there's a hell of a lot more we can do later.

>No reason to continue helping

How about because it's the right thing to do and if we do manage to help her it would show how awesome we are that we actually did it? If you want to take the easy way out then go ahead, but don't expect it to end well.

>>559333

I am not giving up, it's more practical considering how she's been this entire time, we know her philosophy and it's not going to change, she's been fighting it from beginning to end.

Sure we can help her condition, and then it's right back to the beginning with her with her healthy mind.

I suppose you could desire to waste more resources with her, but I feel it's prudent to cut the vine as needed to allow it to grow in our care.

>>559335

>Wasting resources

If we fix this now instead of trying to cut it off we'll be saving a lot more "resources" than if we let it go on. Oh and the "resources" we'd be wasting are a chance to learn more about how we work and a chance to make a better party member. And if the plan doesn't work then next time we won't do it again. Kinda like if your plan completely backfires and wastes "resources" too. You're not convincing me of anything other than how lazy the overall idea is.

>>559336
Woot woot!

Final clarifying note tonight, because I don't want this to turn into a big dumb argument. If the absolute only solution at this point is trying to get rid of the bad memories, then go ahead and do it, but don't tell me that trying to save her is "wasting" anything when we could be wasting just as many resources trying to find ways to erase her mind. If there's a chance we can do something about this that doesn't end in frying her brain then we should honestly take it instead of going "fuck it" and taking an easy route that could be just as difficult to pull as the saving option.

>>559336

We could learn exactly about ourselves if we could figure out the limits of our power as well.

The problem is she isn't desiring herself to join us, we'd need to change her entire outlook, and even then we'd still be trailing along a killer with us with a sordid past that'd we be trying to ignore.

You assume the plan will backfire, even more then her turning on us as soon as we show her mercy.

>>559375

>Learning
I'd rather learn about our powers from someone else, like I suggested earlier, than through dangerous guesswork with party members as guinea pigs. And if Eadoo is going to be a Good king she'd probably agree.

>Killer
All the gnolls in our parties are killers, so your point is moot, Shenzi is just the angriest right now because, I dunno, we're eating her brain and hijacked her body. And I have a feeling that maybe trying to help her instead of torturing her with our attempts at self experimentation will actually lead to some good, but you won't even give it a chance because it's "too hard".

>You assume-
Yeah, and you assume I'm wrong too. I'm not going to repeat this again.

As I said above, if you'd actually read it, we need to find out if things actually are hopeless before we assume they are.

>>559376

Too hard? I just feel that we would produce a better outcome if we experiment in a different manner. It's less optimal then any of the other situations.

Not to mention the Gnolls were killers because they were forced to under her hand, less so then their own choice.

However I will cut it here, we are cluttering it at this point. But I still feel we should simply do as will with her, rather then force ourselves along.

At this point we should just let Eadoo decide, so we'll wait and see what happens.

>>559380
But isn't that the point of the quest, that we're guiding Eadoo to greatness? My guess would be that all that happens in your case would be an "I dunno, do what you think is best" and then we're back to the same spot. FWIW, I'd throw my hat in with the power-gauging potential of letting her waste away. The fact that Dagger has basically raped her, mind, body, and soul, is enough that letting her memories self-destruct would be a blessing rather than a curse. She's shown almost nothing but hostility, and the relapse here seems to fall in line with the original Shenzi, a cruel and evil person, so it seems pretty much neutral in the end to kill evil with evil action, or inaction as the case may be.

There's no way to take the moral high ground with this. Shenzi is right, she is our enemy, down to the core. If there was a point at which this could've been talked out with her it's long past. Think about this rationally, she came after Eadoo with the intent to hunt her down and EAT her. We responded by dominating her. I don't know why you think we can erase her memory. Maybe cut bits off her soul but I've seen nothing to suggest memory manipulation.

What should we do? we should do exactly what we have been doing. Possess her body until it expires, and then continue until it begins to fester. Once her death will be noticable to the other gnolls quietly walk her away from the group and leave her body to rest somewhere quiet and out of the way.

At this point she's dead. A piece of meat. That meat will work for us, or against us relentlessly if we release it.

>>559635

No, I'd agree with the other anon a lot faster than I'd agree to this kind of backwards thinking. Memory erasing is a much better idea if you really think in all honesty just letting her die off is the better option. You know what? If this is the only other option I change my mind completely. Start seeing what pieces we can remove. That's not sarcasm either.

>>559639
Pieces of memory I mean, apologies for not clarifying.

Also don't tell me to think rationally and then go on about how the reason we should just kill her is based entirely on how we've seen her up until now, time in which we've done nothing but humiliate and torture her by the way.

But whatever, it's up to Eadoo, as I said before, not us.

You must know how this works. We were enemy's. We fought and we took something of yours, spoils of war. Your a gnoll, surely you have spent time in towns that disliked you before? Any tavern willing to feed you was willing to overlook their disdain for you because you had gold to trade. Think of us as merchants. We own your body but would be willing to sell it to you for something of greater value. You think its quite valuable being your only body but to us its about to become a corpse. you might be surprised by the number of things that are more valuable than a corpse.
Go on offer us a deal,
You might be able to buy it for a song...

I think a wait and see mentality is best here. Things might work themselves out in the end. tell Eadoo whats going on regardless.

>>559653

Well shit, this guy kinda makes a point I didn't think of. Soul bargaining feels like another acceptable option here, but the wait and see is probably the best thing for now.

>>559641

Except we've got info from the other gnolls that she's always been this way, and infact forced them into the path they were taking to begin with, from them we've known she's been cruel, violent, boisterous, and all around complete and utterly irredeemable.

>>559675

I already told you I'm fine with cutting off the bad memories now, replying from a seperate computer so excuse my sudden anon.

Lets wake her and see how she is. We can decide from there

What's this?
[to Shenzi(?)] Hello there. Wakey, wakey now.

Did we revert her to childhood? If we ate all the bad memories this might be a younger version of her before she began to hate the world.

Lets carefully remove all traces of our control over her and tell Eadoo to come over with the others to wake her up. Her family would be able to tell us just how much we changed her.

She became a quadruped? Huh, not what I was expecting.

I am worried about the rose and what it might mean. We might need to get her up and moving and back in her body if we want her to recover. If we let her keep sleeping here she might never get up the strength to wake up.

Eadoo would you please go grab her tribe and family as fast as you can? We would like them to be here to offer emotional support when she wakes up. Let them know that the person they knew is gone and her mental state will probably be that of her mid childhood.

Also if anyone makes any jokes or does anything to hurt her because of what she once was they will have to answer to us. Am not going to let our work go to waste because someone holds a old grudge.

spoilers: because controlling yourself is a perk you get to unlock

This is great, she's a child inside now and her life force is badly impacted by our efforts. We fucked up bad and now were corrupted by her horrid fucking poison.

And you know what? This wasn't better than murder. We took the bits that made her her, and consumed them. Now her life and darkness are ours.

>>559810
then kill her, we did what we did and now all we can do is deal with it. I still say we should help her seeing how this is our fault and even if she's someone new she's still alive.

>>559812

We did nothing wrong you pessimistic cowards. Instead of sitting there trying to make the situation bad all over again we need to work with what we ended up with.

She was a horrible abusive murderer before we captured her and it was either kill her outright or try to reform her. We tried our best but it did not work.

Honestly I am surprised we got this lucky. Maybe with us eating away the trauma of her past she can get a chance to grow up into a nicer person.

Whats done is done so lets make the best of it and try to not fail her again.

>>559817

Precisely. The worst possible result would have been straight up death, or possibly worse. We've been given a blank slate to work with now, and we should work with it.

>>559818


And thus I agree with this, we've got our blank mental slate, we shall form it up properly.

You can rest soon child but right now you have to wake up.

You are one of my Lieutenants. You joined me on my quest to make a kingdom where our people could live proud and free.

This is your family and clan. Something bad happened to you and you lost most of your memories. We were not sure if you were going to survive but I think you should be ok now.

I would not worry to much about her reverting to her old ways easily Eadoo. She might get confused though if someone starts bringing up stuff about how she used to act. What we did to her is pretty damn permanent. Any personality changes from here on will be due to her surroundings and how you treat her.

>>559862
>pure Child.
You can become anything you want. At least anything that's not evil.

you're one of us, something happened and something bad happened to you. We tried our best to help but we're not total sure how bad it is. Just know that we'll help you through this and hope you'll consider us a friend.

>>559865
Not a bad start. But in her current state she will need some direction. Also we should avoid lies. Those always come back to bite you in the end with something like this. But at the same time she doesn't need to know every thing up front. She is innocent right now and that would hurt her. Let her grow a bit and them dole out her past slowly as her new self emerges.

On a side not Eadoo, you just lost your family and children. Shen needs a mother right now. You can be that for her. Help her grow back up.

She need kindness more than any thing else. So adopted daughter would be a good thing to attach to what ever role you help her grown into.

Lets take the higher road here, were feeling a little dirty and karma needs some balance after that.

You are Shenzi. You were dying and the only cure we had was a very painful one. You might not remember much after your ordeal. You are very tired and we need to get you into bed so you can rest. When you wake up come find me if you need a friend.

Agreed that lying here is a really bad idea, not to mention that lying to the new her after essentially murdering the old one just feels like heaping another evil on the pile (regardless of noble intentions, the way we got here was pretty horrible). We may want to avoid the whole picture for now, but don't make up some story about how she lost her memories in an accident or some such. She'll eventually find out the truth, and knowing we lied to her from her first awakening will only hurt her in the end.

Tell her we don't know all the answers yet, but we would like to be her friend. It will be up to her to find out who she is, but she will have friends and family to help her along the way. For now she can rest if she is exhausted and we can talk later, or if she feels up to it she can meet the rest of the group - and some of her family.

You're a Sun-warrior, Shenzi.

Tell her the truth. Tell her there was a poison in her soul that turned her into a ravenous monster, and that poison has been purged from her.

Offer her protection and shelter. Eadoo can be motherly but there's little room for that in what were embarking on. The only real course is to bring her along and use Eadoo's natural charm to swing her to the cause of founding a non-xenophobic kingdom.

>>559879
I agree.

She needs a mother, Eadoo. One that will care for her. Love her. Help her along the right path.

You know, Shenzi just waking up with a bad knife wound and no memories.

Makes me think just a little bit of the creep.

Thirding this, if that's a thing.

Eadoo - you're Shenzi... A friend... Somthing bad happened and you lost all your memories... but we can't really tell you who you are, only you can decide that. You can become anything you want. At least anything that's not evil.

Shen - not evil?

Eadoo - y-yeah! you're a nice person after all... aren't you?

Shen - y-yes... I am, but... wh-where's my mommy? I need my mommy...

Eadoo - I... I could be you mommy Shenzi... would you like to be my little girl?

Shen -really?! oh mommy I found you!

>Shenzi hops from her chair and hugs eadoo tightly in her massive 56 strength arms!

Eadoo - shen... shen... you're killing me...

Shen - oh.. mommy... I'm sorry!

Eadoo - it's okay... just *cough* you're very strong...

Shen - mmnn! I'm big and strong! I'll protect momma~

>the guys can't help but snicker under their collars at the sight~

>>559909
Banzai - *you know whats the worst part of all that... my big sister was born under the sun...*

Eadoo - is there anything else we should do now?

>_ _ _

Well, the boys don't seem particularly upset about the old Shenzi being gone, but we should make sure they understand how they should treat Shenzi now. No need to get revenge for old grudges or anything like that. It might also be best to take Banzai aside briefly to get his input on the whole situation. He's arguably the smartest of the bunch, and she was/is his sister.

After that, if Shenzi is feeling up to it we can find out if she's retained any of her learned skills from her last life, especially when it comes to combat since we're looking to clear out a castle full of demons soon. (Which we should consider preparing for. I think everyone is due for some R&R but maybe you can gather the group and have a dinner/party where you can talk strategy with your lieutenants and figure out where you can secure weapons specifically suited to fighting demons.)

Also, how much are we (Gatling) aware of when it comes to Roland and his sword? If we have any sense that there's more to him than he lets on, we may want to have Eadoo confront him directly, or possibly ask for more information from Martin. I think he's on our side, but he definitely is more than a mere squire. We have an important fight coming up, and we'd be better off going into it with everybody's cards on the table.

However, I'm not certain if everything we've seen of Roland has been witnessed by Gatling spying about, or just as teasers of things to come for the reader. If it's the second then we might not be suspicious enough to take this action)

Hmm. Now we have another reason to feast! To the new life of Princess Shenzi, Daughter of Eadoo!

Anyway, we should finally see what's up with old smokey. Perhaps we can find an investigator of sorts, while we party!

I wanna know more about the stuff we ate from shenzi. are we really self loathing now? Is she another of the voices in here from now on?

>we should make sure they understand how they should treat Shenzi now

Bacon - *I'm really not sure... It's all very strange, I suppose I'll be getting less err... you know what never mind...*

Liver - *she had it coming, one day or another we all die and the more vile the more enemies. I'm just surprised it was like this and not at the foot of a guillotine. But this person is not Shenzi, I see no reason to hold anything against her.*

Onion - *I'm not sure I get it, is Shenzi dead? I mean really dead?! sh-should we just like... treat her like a cub? eerr... I'm not sure whats going on. I suppose this is Yurra's way of punishing the foul!*

>Banzai looks pensive and emotionally distant.

Banzai - *You know, I don't have words... I feel like I should feel bad... but I don't... I... I almost want to make sure she's really really dead... Make sure she wont ever come back... Am... Am I a bad person, for hating my sister to hell?*

>find out if she's retained any of her learned skills from her last life

Shen - hmmn... if I remember anything about before? Eerrr... aahh... eum... I think I like dancing and singing! and that chair looks like it would throw well? er... I... I remember ...

>shenzi looks panicked and starts to sweat...

Shen - I remember water... lots and lots of water... and teeth... black eyes and teeth...

>Shenzi suddenly picks up Eadoo and cries into her chest loudly!

Eadoo - Wow! it's okay, nothings going to hurt you baby, you're fine...

Shenzi rememeberes:
Song Bird [+10 to singing]
Native Dancer [+15 to dance and flexibility]
Spontaneous Basher [No malus for improvised weapons]
Thalassophobia [-20 to all actions when in the ocean]
Gutted Alive (two ranks) [-10 to all actions when fresh organs are visible (-20)]

how much are we aware of when it comes to Roland and his sword?
you are aware of everything you heard and saw, either by purposeful spying or accidental eavesdropping.

>>560313
>you feel boiling hatred deep inside you.

>>560180
Shen - Princess? I.. I'm a princess?!

>Her eyes light up like a delighted little girl

>Shenzi leveled up to Princess Lv.1

Give +5 to two different stats and pick one of the following perks...
Diplomatic kindness [+10 charisma for good manners]
Musical nature [+10 to musically handle animals]

so shenzi was traumatised by being "Gutted Alive" in the ocean. To each collosus her weakness I guess.
oh yay more character building! If she's a princess Shenzi needs to be a diszney princess not a usefull diplomatic princess.
Musical nature, charisma and fellowship

I think for now it makes sense to train her by her strengths, so I'd say strength and constitution with musical nature. Turn her into a Xena warrior princess with some animal handling abilities. We already have Eadoo for fellowship and leadership. Shenzi can learn more about leading and governing later on when we're not likely to have to fight for survival every few days.

rolled 96 + 15 = 111

Musical nature
Strength and Dex

Aye, Shenzi, you're a princess. But you are also many a great Sun-warrior, a defender of justice!

She will eventually need to know how to be diplomatic, but she is still a warrior! Musical nature with boosts to strength and constitution.

>>560698
Strength and Con
If you want to be a Sun-warrior, you will need these, unless you holy spec. Also, Go with musical nature. You'll need it to inspire those who follow in your footsteps

I say manners, dexterity and charisma

She should become a warrior princess. It's in her nature to be a warrior.

Shenzi ups her Strength and Constitution skill by 5 and gains Musical natures.

>>560793
Shen - defender of justice? I don't know... If that's the path mommy wants of me...

Banzai - She does have Yurra's gift, but she'll have to embrace it... After what she's done it would seem unlikely that Yurra would bless her. But maybe this was all his plan...

>Shenzi obtained a potential class [Sun warrior] See next level<

>Guarded by Shenzi, Eadoo wanders around town looking for a mysterious man with smoke coming from under his hood. He's easy to find as he seem's to also be looking for you.

Stranger - Hey, Kobold. I have a few words for you.

Eadoo - Hello, shady figure. How may I help you?

Stranger - I heard that you're king, or rather proclaimed yourself king. I cant tell by the crown at your hip that it was true?

Eadoo -yessir, I plan on taking this town and that castle by the weekend.

Stranger - I see... I've heard of your plans for a benevolent kingdom, and as much as I'm amazed and would love for this to happen. I have my serious doubts. I believe you will become corrupt as any other holder of power and I do not believe you can say or do anything that would change my mind on the subject...

Eadoo - oh... ehm... I'm sorry about that, I don't want to become corrupt, my goal are strictly noble and pure. But that wont change your mind will it?

Stranger - Not really no. Still I'm willing to help you, if for at least to help those under your foot. But what can you promise me for my service?

>>560850
"Firstly you would get to have a direct hand in pointing out if you thought my actions were tyrannical. And I do listen to my followers. Second, I can offer a reward form the spoils that we find in the castle, though honestly we do not now what well will find."

Eadoo will not reach their goal of a fair kingdom by stepping on people. We can't guarantee him much other than input. But we will promise to reward him in kind relative to his services and what we find. He will be treated fairly.

We could tell him that if we are ultimately successful we could make him a knight if he wished. And if that dose not please him (he seem leery about titles and station) then he can name another reward for himself, or some one else he wants to see benefit.

>>560863
I think he might see a knighthood as bribery or cronyism or something.

The fact that he's offering help to what he must see as some random kobold who's qualifications are having the right kind of hat, a dream, and not being an ass to the homeless means whoever is currently in power must be so unbelievably incompetent that it's a miracle they can put on pants. Even if we do become corrupt, tossing the current leader out of power can only be an improvement.

Food, shelter, gear as needed, healing when possible or capable. You'll be treated fairly and can gain respect and position based on your skills and accomplishments. It won't be instant knight hood, but you could get there by merits, trust and skill alone instead of lineage, race, gender or other issues.

Eadoo - Firstly you would get to have a direct hand in pointing out if you thought my actions were tyrannical. And I do listen to my followers. Second, I can offer a reward form the spoils that we find in the castle, though honestly we do not now what well will find. As well as Food, shelter, gear as needed, healing when possible or capable.

Stranger - You would let me tell you what to do?

Eadoo - Why yes, in fact I fear I might grow mad with power. Which is why I'm hording trustworthy allies with diverse opinions to keep me on the right track.

Stranger - You recognize your own faults, and make plans in respect to them... That's the smell of a good king if you ask me~ You've earned my name, I'm Ean.

Eadoo - Have I earned your face?

Ean - not just yet, but in due time. As for the treasure...

Eadoo - why yes, what treasure and loot we find will be divied into shares, but the biggest going to the town treasury.

Ean - *snaps fingers and points* that's what I like to hear, My suspicions where right~

>>560878
Eadoo - I'd offer to make you knight for your services, but It doesn't sound like you'd fancy it... Perhaps friend is a better title.

Ean - Hahaa~ Suits me just fine.

Eadoo - perfect, We'll contact you when we get our plans underway for the storm *Gatling, he seems nice but keep an eye on him, you know what they say about folks who are too nice...*

>Anything else before returning to the inn?
