You are a thrall, a slave, bonded to the house of the Chieftain of this village in order to pay off your late uncle's debts, under whose scornful eye and ready hand you had been formerly raised. Though the debts are formidable, your labors these past seven years have diminished them to the point where a release seems no longer impossible. You cannot claim that it was by your diligence alone that this was accomplished; the Chieftain's generosity also played a substantial part. He took you into his own home, to serve as a companion for his only son, and has always dealt fairly with you as he does with all his subordinates. Indeed, he seems more eager to see you freed from bondage than perhaps even yourself. And it is that sentiment, along with a hundred other kindnesses he has shown you during your time of service, that compels you to remain with his house, even after your freedom is achieved.It is an outcome not entirely unwanted by the Chieftain either, for your service has revealed the possession of certain worthy talents.>You have a natural genius for sword-skill. A quickness of eye and hand that are unmatched in the village, which you have developed into a kind of preternatural sixth sense for danger.>You have a gift for making others feel at ease. Your good looks and skill as a raconteur are contributing factors, but it is your naturally sunny disposition that charms all who meet you.>You have a prodigious gift for symbols, figures, and other abstractions. Your sense of measure is especially keen, making you an ideal craftsman, shipbuilder, or even sailor

Somewhere in the southeastern United States is a small town named Whispering Oaks. The town has a population of roughly 10,000 people and it’s situated about an hour’s (assuming good traffic) drive away from the nearest big city. There’s nothing particularly special about this small town that sets it apart from the rest, but it’s your small town. It’s where you were born and raised, and it’s where your family’s planted their roots. It’s an off year. The president was elected last year and the midterms are the year after this, so there’s not much in the news right now, election wise…except in Whispering Oaks. Not only is every seat in the city council scheduled for re-election, but so too is the mayor. You’ve thought about it for a while, but now you’ve decided: this year, you will run for mayor, challenging the sitting one.But first, we must figure out some key things about you. It should be noted that some of these factors will influence your chances of getting elected.>Name.>Age. (Must be 18+)>Sex.>Occupation. (Can have multiple)Comment too long.

You need sponsors. You need people who, for one reason or another, are willing to fund your campaign to oust Hubbard. You won’t find any particularly wealthy benefactors here in Whispering Oaks. At least, no wealthier than your generic upper class retiree. No, you need people with money. People with influence. Your next order of business? Hit up the big leagues. The national libertarian party. Any sympathetic politicians in your state. Businessmen and women who could see you as a potential stock worth investing in. You need to convince people to give you their hard-earned money in return for not having a goat worshipping whore for the elites in the town hall. >Everyone roll 3d20.(3/3)

>>6341764>Barras>Klarverhttps://pastebin.com/inTGdWd1Although this is WIP I most likely won't change the two characters except for the image linkI need to work on Taravia also, it should be simplier than the world Barras and Klarver is in but I only have a general idea what Taravia is, what sort of stuff she does and what the world does to herbut well everyone knows what a centaur looks like, it's here>>6332401Let me know how much more information is needed
>>6342800read it! pretty interesting lore you got there, fucking around with how dragon people deal with religion, politics, and themselves. however, i got a few things in mind reading thisa) there's no way in hell sammie is a 2 int 2 wis if she can pull up this kind of stuff. having the capacity or the interest to consider this religion as a man-made institution is 3 wis at least, and working on abstract systems that remain logical within their context takes at least 3 int as well. if we are going by the book, we are gonna have to roll /a lot/ to see if sammie would figure out most of this stuff by herself. my suggestion? i'm willing to bend the knee just this once, because we are barely getting started, and let you go 3 int 3 wis with sammie as long as you remove 2 points from any other stat. otherwise, you /will/ find yourself very limited in what you can do, considering what you want to dob) while we can be sure that sammie enjoys //literally// bringing her characters to life, i can't think many situation in which transforming into barras or klarver would come in handy, since they will remain as is and with only the knowledge of their context (for example, barras would just say fuck it and go on a pilgrimage whatever the situation).c) you are working too hard! using sammie's ability is more about detail awareness than anything. let's take fubuka's previous attempt at having sammie eat all the rats and pretend sammie fell for her love magic despite inno banning it outrightsammie would write something like this:name: croco the soul-linked crocodile-looks like a crocodile-only wants to eat rats-is as fast as a catComment too long.

I saw the callout and I see whats going on>a) to pull an entire world out of nowherewell shit lol. I'm glad you gave the chance, I'll go INT 3 WIS 3 then cuz dammit I realise this entire troupe of gucas are kinda dumb on average except Ellie but she can't even communicate without Teegardenian translatortake 1 each from PA and CON and Sammie becomes a scout type sort of guca in fight and the only person who could take care of things regarding to living like a normie (except for socials)I would blame on her parents making her doing math olympiads and tuition for exams and learning level 8 piano or violin like any other asian kid that does not have a fucking childhood, and she would learn to read people at which point of time her demands would go through or she could steal some time for herself, fuck>b) to manifest the characters of her universeActually at the start of the quest I already expected the transform mechanic to be useless outside witch fights because her characters are all good at fights but Sammie is not. Heck, there is leeway for Taravia to speak english but Barras and Klarver speaks their own heavily accented common draconic. And I believe that her characters would fight back when they face the witch's hostility while stuck in a labyrinth.And spoiler here it's actually the sun of draco that allows dragons to have soul link.

Nine years ago King Aiden Perenolde betrayed the Alliance and sided with the Horde of Orgrim Doomhammer. Nine years ago Prince Alric Perenolde, the second heir of Alterac was sent into exile for his own protection. This exile turned permanent and Captain Normand Garside, your guardian for the past nine years made sure that you were safe and learned the useful skills that would help you in the future.Now you are ready to carry the responsibility and unite the scattered Alteraci people and reclaim the lands that were once the Kingdom of Alterac.Politely saying everything had gone to shit. King Varian in his melancholy and delusion had arrested Prince Alric for what he saw in Alric's part in Lady Katrana Prestor's attempt to wrestle the control of the Kingdom of Stormwind to herself. In reality Alric had been the voice of reason and tried to negotiate a peaceful solution to all this.What had followed was a swift counter-coup and Malevus found herself being chased by a bunch of thugs wearing the King's tabards. Danger, intrigue and diplomacy filled her days as she was steadfast in her mission to rescue Alric.And now she is on her way to the Stormwind Keep, into the Lion's Den to rescue the man she loves so much.Welcome to Alterac Resurgent Quest!…Comment too long.

I am seeing heavy accusations, transparency and a little stab back at him regarding your relative being the winning combo.Though the update won't come today evening, I am way too tired to write anything right now.You have an idea of what Thoras will be after, but what of Greymane?
>>6342901He is trying to set up Alric as a false savior, a kind enemy, but still an enemy like his father was. I imagine it's something he had been working on for a while. We, Dawnholme, have been too successful; throwing us down a peg or two would be good. We have also been very successful here, which is dangerous. The thing is, he has never shown anyone so far this cousin of ours, which I think matters for what he wants to say.I assume it's connected with what he is merely starting to do right now. He drives Alric's image into the ground socially and prepares the scene for our cousin (he will speak of our cousin, but no reveal for now). As an "alternative" for the Alliance to a rogue princeling playing the good ally while conquering as he sees fit (some words Greymane might say about us). And he would offer such an option for the good of the Alliance. If that's his plan, we can probably do some damage to it here right now, or at least to what he is clearly presenting here to the Meeting. I assume, like many other crowned heads, Greymane would have sent a spy in Dawnholme to inform him of what our little state does (since you don't need a genius to know the little state we formed wouldn't have started with a network of spies to support it, meaning anyone can spy on it with almost no fear of consequences). I suspect if he has "evidence", it must be from that source, probably not fully truthful evidence, though.
>>6342901To remove Alric. Either with him imprisoned or better yet dead. He does not have a good chance of pushing the cousin for the throne of alterac when someone with a better claim exists and is active. Once alric is removed he utilises the chaos of alterac to push hes claim with a legal perenolde.Although i do wonder if he has anything else. Right now he just is spinning a tall tale with no evidence.
>>6342941Imprisoning us now, I would like to see him try. I think he has something, but it's not finished. We still surprised all of them with the recent events.
>>6342901Having taken the land of the Durnholde Hills is obviously concerning for Terenas. Genn connects it to the deflecting as a possible deeper connection with Blackmoore (which is true we do have an alliance and the Deed as part of a deal that did include Tari) to try for the appearance of Alric shadily asserting control and influence for more land. People deflect when there is something to hide, its a typical or even cliche response especially for courtiers. Maybe there is nothing in spite of rumors but it raises the question and the doubt, which is what Greymane wanted. Deflection didn't stop Greymane from using it, and didn't give these people a different and more dramatic reason that helps prevent the mood from dropping to this point. Not to mention we did actually flip the secret loyalty of Imswit. Does he know? Hopefully not, but its also not that hard to believe or suspect someone charismatic can swing people to his side. Theres the rumors which have reached even Capital City. All very old school politics as they might have played before the Wars and their fathers before them. Its also easy to point at Blackmoore with his father's legacy. He could have pointed directly at Alric's legacy but right now Alric is harder to directly disparage after recent events, and Genn isn't so blunt. But Arthas being a brute does the dirty work of bringing something up in a simple and low way.His goal is to undermine our image, to throw doubt into the perception of our actions, and clearly to target Terenas both directly and indirectly. Directly with our having taken the land (which is one reason why I wanted Lady Imswit to have it) he uses that well to throw doubt into other motives. Indirectly he has worked the room to a very cold point as you've put it where everyone is considering alternative motives of peoples actions, and Terenas is a master of reading the room and responding to it if he felt like the Alliance was in the balance. Much as he did in Varian's announcement party.If I was Genn I would hold onto something. His accusations are mostly speculation, and the most natural counter in the world for Alric's position would be to say he has 'no proof'. Its not that hard to predict. Thats when I would bring some 'proof' out for a counter-counter punch as funny as that is to say lol. Its drama but we've already seen that Genn Greymane knows how to work a room as he takes the opportunity of Arthas's comments and works them into his move here. If it works Greymane will have thrown enough doubt into Alric's motives and position to swing Terenas as one of the most important votes. Later he brings out the knowledge of the Perenolde Cousin hes 'kept hidden for his own safety'. Maybe he works something out with Thoras if he needs that vote, or with whoever is on the fence. Maybe he just does it to make a tie vote.
Last time, the highly anticipated return of the Kingdom of Coziness is here. Its newer two residents are your queen (Lydie) and your maid (Kushi)! The comfy lands (Beth’s bed) are being enjoyed together under the stars (a tent in the backyard). You’re feasting together with cake and tea! “As requested, esteemed Chef Ando.” Kushi hands over a big tray with all the items you asked for. “Please, serve yourself some. There’s cake aplenty.” You’re a magnanimous king. Your goods are the Kingdom’s goods. “As I said, join us!”“Very well.” Kushi doesn’t mind eating even more cake, better with you by her side. The entire group is on the bed now.“Dear Maid, you implied there’s something that you want from my precious gem no matter what. Pray tell?” Lydie doesn’t forget any details.“Look at how I’m dressed for five seconds, and take a guess. Even if I prefer if you don’t.” Maid Kushi is a little upset to explain as she covers herself with her arms. “You want to embarrass me even more, don’t you?”“No, no, no! I want to learn more about you. Beauty is expressed in different ways, and I want to learn yours. You’ve been a revelation so far!” Lydie doesn’t mean anything bad by it.“Only he can fulfill this role.” Kushi refuses to say more.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
The darkness from the tent calls once again, Beth’s pressure is felt by everyone, your time with your teacher is soon coming to an end…“I love you too, and I don’t mind, but…” You pat the head of the comfy woman.“I know… I can hear Beth’s voice...” Nina pouts. She can be a little childish every now and then.“It’s my turn…” Beth snaps her fingers for the final time for the night(?)…From the darkness, the mastermind behind it all shows up!“My beloveds, did you have fun?” Beth giggles as she steps forward.“No need to ask!” You wink. The former prisoner smiles back.“Indeed. Look at the smile on you two, mainly this adorable woman’s.” Beth teases the maid. “You’ve behaved well, just one last step left.”Comment too long.

Well, not that violently since you’re cuddling with Beth, it’s early morning, for some reason your phone is noisy enough to wake you up. There’s a message from Celia, it’s about the date. You can’t forget your promise. The Calamity Cola will come up clutch for today…Sadly, this is all we have for this thread! Thanks for playing, and see you next time!

It is the chirping of the birds which first jolts you from your stupor, proudly sitting upon their trees, singing jollies to and fro of the merry morning lights. You, who had found no rest, no shut eyes throughout the night, take it simply as an ringing pain on your head. For though you had momentarily found yourself lacking in cognition, it was not rest which you had felt, but a lapse in concentration, a departure of your thinking to some state of sickly torpor.You had not slept for the entire night, and certainly, it hath given no benefit to your condition. But then again, how could you, with the challenges that you faced?You are Alessandro Galliota, the Viscount of Portblanc. That much you can be sure of, even in your sorry state...you, who had been brought here to this land of Nera, this distant land from your own, by your great liege Don Carles IV Brascarams. You had come here to wage war in the name of the Spisa family, allied to your country, against the forces of the Fortelli, friendly to your foe. You had launched a campaign throughout their borderlands, partaken in a siege, and most of all, you had faced a force far mightier than yours, many times greater in both number and capability, aided by scores of Himmmerian Giants, those most fearful of enemies of the human race. For a whole day, you had succesfully fought them of, and, shattering the bridge which they sought to take in an pivotal moment, you had sunk to the depths of the river hundreds of their men. You escaped death, too, by a hair's breadth, when the infamous Famiglia, those mighty knights of Nera, armed with beastly amazonian mounts, had been able to momentarily breach your formation. It was only by bidding your musketeers to fire upon them even as they fought your own men that you had survived, though at the cost of your entire retinue. All those things and much many others had happened yesterday, in this battle upon the Vessena. This battle, you are certain, has not ended yet, and it is this which brings you trouble. For today you must seek out victory and find a way to hold your foes at bay until the city of Montechia falls!For now, however, breakfast will have to do. Shaking yourself out of this stasis, you raise yourself from the piece of wood that you had used as a seat for the night. Because you had fled into the grove to make your camp, you did not have the amenities of your lordly tent. Of course, compared to those amongst the soldiery who did not have any tent at all, you were not in a poor state. You order one of your servants to gather up whatever is available for you. What you receive, after some time, is...some bread, and some of the cheap rum that was served to the soldiery. Though it be enough to fill you, you cannot help but feel some manner of bitterness in the knowledge that you stand but a few minutes of travel away from your supply wagons.

>>6342961I'm a bit torn, but I'll go for:>Officially disband your regiment, and see to the fate of the men you had hiredWe returned victorious off the back of what is already a famous victory that undercut the Famiglia right at their highest high, and provided the rank and file with a huge payday while the rest of their service was garrison duty. I think we're pretty popular right now all things considered.That and I'd like to send off the Banda Grisa properly, mercenaries though they be.While the banquet arrangement is better suited for our current goals of socialization and our personal guard do deserve recognition for selflessly throwing themselves to their doom, I think there may also be misunderstandings about it happening in the first place because we tried to save a bunch of mercenaries, and also that despite them having consigned themselves to sacrifice anyways, we did order them shot alongside the enemy and somebody might try and be a dick about that. Might be something better off not addressed while we're basking in glory.

>>6326483I worked in Britain for a few years and, while those decent foods you listed exist, the average Brit consumes the most disgusting and bland slop imaginable for their daily meals. Everything is boiled until it loses all texture and flavor, nothing js seasoned, it is just grim over there. I will concede that they have good baked goods
>>6326497Britain is a globohomo identity wearing the flayed skin of England as a trophy. I've never been to the fatherland, so I can't really comment on how it is now, but almost the whole canon of foods that you will find in supermarkets is derived from English origins.

Totemists, one of the first lines of defense against the malicious and monstrous, famed slayers of Behemoths which are perhaps the most dangerous examples of such, and bridge to the domains of spirits and magic unseen. The role is not an easy one of course, but it must be done and has been since time before almost all written history.You are Capran, young man of the Four Peaks mountains, pupil of Oranya Skystrike.There has been a lot of unrest on the mountain slopes lately, the issue growing further with each day it seems, but with your teacher still guiding you, there will always be a way to deal with it the trouble.Such as this post mimic, which stands on thin wood-splinter-like legs and angrily spears them into the ground beneath it at the failure of its ambush. You stand nearby your teacher and her friend Heyra, ready and willing to destroy this mimic.Awful thing. You're rather happy you three are the one who found it rather than some poor patrol guard or villager.>Cont
>>6342443So it was just a little bit of pirate tomfoolery mixed with the spirit of Change SUCCESSFULLY AFFECTING A TOTEMIST. Which means humans are totally fair game.
>>6342451More to be seen on that but remember that Heyra pointed out that the village wards cleanse those who return to it or perhaps leaving the gates makes them immune. Who can say just yet?But I wanted to show off more of the world and give you some hints as to what it does. Now that you've seen the state of different lands, it'll also be easier to build off concurrent events that may or may not brush up against the mountains.
Okay, I'll now open up the thread for some Q&A. I'll try to avoid spoilers for things I'm building towards, but feel free to ask what comes to mind

>>6342690>Education Most of this is vocational, you can do simple math into the beginning exponents but most of your focus is on the day to day. Some jobs like the carpenters and such require more knowledge. Consider it somewhere along the early medieval era in your own village.>CurrencyThere are some mines where copper is plentiful so you usually trade in minted copper coins. These are given as sign of you doing something that puts your life on the line or saving a life, otherwise there's a bartering system for jobs to get done or splurge a bit. Gold isn't too useful because people in the village care more about merit than how pretty gold is.>BehemothsTwo personally. More when she got a call to assist other Totemists that were far away and genuinely couldn't put a stop to them alone.One was a giant with two upper bodies that controlled snow and fire with a horn on each individual head. She entered into a binding contract with a storm spirit in exchange for killing it and this is where she got her lightning spears binding.The other was a massive rock worm that ate a gigantic pit into a mountain so deep it exposed molten rock. She worked together with another totemist to kill this one and made bombs that react to sudden increases of pressure. Basically she made spiritual white phosphorus. Her latest hunt was to kill a behemoth that spawned horrible bugs from its back. This is the one she returned from back when Capran was a kid.>What happens to a dead Totemists bindingsComment too long. Click here to view the full text.

You take the F-16 for a joyride. But sirens blare, and an AA gun shoots you down. The world turns black… until a sliver of light breaks through the darkness.Tearing your eyelids open, you find yourself inside the cockpit of an F-16C Fighting Falcon. Somehow, it carries infinite bullets, 70 missiles, 16 4AAMs, and 5 flares. “Da fuck?” you mutter.Peering out through the canopy, a deep blue sky stretches above you. Below, a shimmering ocean rushes past, dotted with scenic isles.Your confusion deepens. Then, an oddly familiar voice crackles through the radio: “Glad to have you back with us, Mobius 1. This is AWACS SkyEye. I’ll be, once again, serving as your eyes and ears for this mission.”Mobius 1? SkyEye?Aren’t those names from the popular 2001 fighter jet video game Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, published by Namco for the PlayStation 2? How strangely specific!You remember playing it once on an emulator a couple of years ago. Could it have left such a strong impression that you’re now hallucinating about it, while your real body is presumably tumbling toward Earth inside a burning aircraft?But the feeling of the flight-stick in your grip, the low hum of the engine in your ears, and the warm sun glaring down on your bald scalp all feel too real.Can this be real?

>>6328151Yup. They fly now.
>>6333269Here is an evo that does not require a picture, more of a social evolution.So you know how chimps do social grooming, picking each other clean of the various bugs and parasites that live in their fur? Well, the Gnorsh starts to develop something like that.Herds of Gnorsh will practice social grooming by way of brown-nosing each other. But this ain't because they have a fart fetish, it's to help remove buttleeches from their herdmate's body. Fewer leeches, the fewer nutrients get lost to b the parasites.Nasty? Absolutely. But Nature is a practical sort not concerned with little things like propriety or decency.
>>6327572The inflated buttleech's neck grows longer so that while they may float atop the polluted waters of Dump25, they may still suck down delicious sludge.
>>6333833the advent of grooming creates strong "social" bonding among genetically close members of the species, grooming offers next to no dirrect benefit to the individual this "indirect fitness" benefits there genetics to spread in the population with frontal bottom "pinching teeth" with a narrow channel between the teeth allowing for vedging protrusions to pull and slightly motile flat gripper teeth that all around makes grooming easier
MondayGrid Sector 11873, Defensive Position "Razorback"The Bradley 1A5 kept firing with it's auto-cannon at the incoming target. One of it's tracks, the left one, was damaged. The rack of guided missiles had been emptied days ago and there hadn't been the chance to refill them. Quartermaster "Godmother" was inside the basement of a ruined house, missing it's second floor and portions of the first. The structure of plywood would provide minimal protection or cover, which was why he was underground. Beside him was Jack Price, the Engineer from MARS Incorporated, now a Lieutenant in what remained of the Armed Forces. Finally, if he was still alive, was Capt. Harry Grand from the Air Force. --In the basement was a Javelin guided missile, loaded, but with no available reloads. There was also MARS MPAR, a laser guided upgrade of the FGM-172A SRAW project. That system and a single reload were bundled together. Both would require firing from outside or the precarious top floor.The other explosive options were the drum fed, six shot 40mm Milkor MGL.... OR three disposable AT-4ERs.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>6330181I just wasn't sure what to reply to that one. I could have made some vague guesses we're looking at a Second American Civil War alternate timeline, probably with at least one fascist side given the banned iconography. The beard comment is interesting, either hinting that things suck, which we could guess by the coup, or that this side maybe leans more socialist, though that could absolutely be reading too hard into things.And yeah, I've barely been on here this week. Can't write due to a full time job, writer's block and personal issues dragging down most of the muse and, and staring at my disused thread is depressing honestly.>>6331234And yep that brings up more info than I would have guessed. Probably the enemy are more fascist or facist-coded so the black flag and punisher symbol are seen as either allegiance, or denote parts of the military that have gone rogue.Godmother looks up from the maps and at Romer Sixer, doing his best to pretend like everything is normal instead of reality itself causing him and Price nosebleeds."Well, things have hardly changed since the last update. If either of you could help the Lieutenant get the Bradley mobile it'd be a start if we can at least have it reposition a little. Right now they must now exactly where it is so it's only a matter of time until they drop something on it. It's been pretty quiet otherwise. Think I saw some movement way over a while back, but it could have been fires. Nothing's tried to cross, and I haven't seen any serious gunfire from positions on either side of us, so we're holding and bracing until told otherwise still. What's you guy's plan for now?"
Godmother gained bonus XP for making some correct analysis and some logical analysis.
As the two Operators (Jack and Godmother) inspect the surrounding area, with one or both of them sticking their heads out, they notice the other people with Romeo Sixer.There is an athletic and nimble woman wearing an assault jumpsuit. She has short hair and wears strange shoes that are somewhere between hiking boots and tennis shoes. She also has something like a crowbar, a survival knife on her webbing, a drop leg holster that contains a pistol that has its suppressor sticking out."To Romeo Sixer," she says on the radio. "This is callsign Eleanor. Permission to move from 4 by 4 sentry to Reconnaissance.""Granted."
Romeo Sixer looks up after checking the charts and his PDA."I haven't served under Colonel Martinez," he says. "So I wouldn't know."The other man speaks. "We've been tied to that wet dog that was the other Colonel."The laptop beeps and pushes an update to their PDAs. There is additional heat signatures and smoke along the enemy lines."Looks like they'll be pushing an assault soon," Romeo Sixer says. "I'm surprised they aren't shelling us yet, maybe that's about to happen."
>>6336413Godmother sighs, looking at Jack.Any chance we can get the Bradley mobile enough to at least put it behind the house in the next couple minutes? At least they won't have a direct view of it. As for us, well you guys should dig in with us until the eventual barrage is over. Is there anything else we can help you with?

>>6341808i'm a liar>>6342122i kneel. too based of a meme. but unironically thoughsoul gem's no longer spotless, you've got some flecks of black in there, but the majority is still clearalso don't worry i didn't forget about friend thing>>6342387we'll probably operate on a relatively common sense basis, as far as meta informationi don't know what board game they played, you should ask lorene! :Panyway, back to the sugar children int roll spiel. uhhhhhh alright. it's hard to grab random people off the street and just convince them to be your servant. you already have some maids and butlers to do your bidding. your best bets are probably ugly 1 and ugly 2, since you have a pre-existing relationship with them. (there are no other uglies). whoever you get to become a magical girl, if you get someone to, will probably be in your debt somewhat. the whole public vote thing for them might throw things out of wack a little, and as always it depends on how you get them to become a magical girl/what their situation is, but it's a relatively surer shot to get a magical ally somewhat subservient to you. i'm sure if you were nice to clover she'd be nice back. lorene might not. this girl you're currently talking to seems kind of off, who knows why, so you'd probably never get her to just become your lackey.overall, i guess the best advice i've got for you is to make friends! read some dale carnegie and influence people or something. money is a fairly powerful resource, but it inherently only works on some people, and only up to a certain extent. building genuine bonds leads to people doing things for you more genuinely.but all that could just be uncultured idealistic peasant philosophy :PComment too long.

People do dumb things for that all the time.
>>6342839>Wisdom for what would make this more appealing to Lout?nix that actually. My addiction to dice rolls is spent for now.I think Hermione would point out the outrageous request to ask for all her information, given that she could have info about a true weakness the others may have. Arguing that she has much more to lose, given that secrets once shared become less valuable. Also chide for invading her room rather than approaching as a proper guest. Really play up that host angle. Though I think this girl isn't really bound by conventions, instead by what she finds amusing.

Howdy everyone this quest is inspired by Tower Dungeon, Dark Souls and gritty fantasy. With a rather flexible take on the Basic roleplaying Universal Game Engine is the basis for characters, skills and combat. _ One Hundred years have passed since the last Vexana Cosmesis influxia - The alignment of stars necessary for the correct partitions of the many seen and unseen angles of reality, allowing the beyond to grasp the physical once more.Since that moment every hour, minute and second has been counted as Kingdoms heed the awaited dirge. For the First City has returned to the world for just ten years until it is swallowed back by the accursed void, bringing with it relics of the past and horrors of a prophesied future. Dancing along the manic death spiral of time with little reason. Within the fabled Bed of Incongruity promises immense power and eternal life for all that sunder their way to the hidden cavity. Countless named and forgotten treasures of equal might and greater also await those mad enough to brave the damned metropolis. The First City lies within once blessed lands, yet the centuries of isolation and exposure to distant dimensions has taken its toll, scattering the returning landscape with foreign contaminants, alien threats and unnatural constructs. The City's interior itself is a celestial hovel of unnatural geometry as reality bleeds away at the very point where the veil between the many planes awaits, existence is only a second thought here. Many such explorers claim to have witnessed their compatriots simply uncoiling from reality and ascending to the heavens without warning. The stars have aligned and the way is known, through the hazy miasma the Insane, Brave and Desperate rush like a tide of crashing waves against its walls.
