YER a Goblin of the GoblinSlayer universe. By sheer astronomical odds, while fleeing GoblingSlayer, aka the GobboCaust, you meet anuvva unlucky bastich: Yang Wuhan, 殃污琀, "Calamity-Corrupted Corpsepearl", also known as Divine Demon, Wyrmacide, Sword Specter, Wind Incarnadine, Gore Walker, Blade Emperor, the Absolute™, &c &c, who just got BTFO'd by an alliance of Righteous and Deviant Cultivators from his home universe.In exchange for the lifesaving Thousand Year Lingzi you just happened to find just now, he swears to do you no harm and take you as his Disciple - Tudi - or, Toady, as your Teacher - Shifu - or, Seafood.Since then you've been busy:Getting Seafood a little-girl Pall Body to operate in while he seeks to restore his fatally damaged real body; learning the [Thousand Segment Carrionpede] form to the Fourth Moulting; killing a whole town for funzies n lewtz; got shotgun married to a ghost bint who tries to kill you in your dreams every 10days or so Seafudds sez it'z to dodge karma n build character; you think it might also be juzt because he'z a roit kunt; temping with the Rhean (GSverse Halflings) Resistance as a SoB for hire against Myrmid (GSverse literal bugmen) expansionism; exploring and destroying an ancient Dimm City; joining Orc Fight Club "with consent"; get bodymodded without consent; bag a Blew Bewbd Efreet from an Ice Dunjjon; investigated, with partial failure, a lead about sumfin sussy in va state 'a dem Orks.PREV EPISODES 1: http://thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2024/60517612:http://thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2024/60685233:https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2024/60832254: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2024/6126087RIGHT NOW:For his last major success, Toady has been given a holla-die by Seafood to do as he likes, and chose to stirr shit up in Orky Country.Seafood has "requested“ Toady get the Orc ShammyBoss Dulugtangor's hedd or staff as a gratuity for making Toady a new indestructible GIGA GLUGGZ Helff Potty container.Dulugtangor is strongly tied to Clewfinda aka Jinx Finx, a sussy foot scout who may be involved with Dorf Peacekeepers and Humie Green Cloak Rangers.Toady has just been registered and released as a trespassing non-belligerant in the Orc-cupied Zone by the Peacekeepers. If he gets detained by Peacekeepers again before clearing his name by reporting to an Adventurers' Guild and working off his trespass, he will be Interrogated at -25% disadvantage.Having all his kit confiscated by the Dorfs has alerted Toady to the possibility that his pending {{{WEESH}}} from the captured Blew Bewbd Efreet might still be taken from him, and is strongly considering cashing it. The {{{WEESH}}} has to be in 7 words to be at full reality-bending strength. QM gives its word there will be no traps in the {{{WEESH}}}. Natural narrative consequences notwithstanding.

Rolled 2 (1d4)>>6160043>Report your findings to Dokk, the one who recruited you for help against the sussynessHmm...I'll admit, I'm actually a little at odds. A lot of the wishes sound good. So my vote will be in the hands of lady luck herself.1: Regeneration.2: Potential with everything.3: Lucky!4: Ability Thief.I'm not including magical affinity in my list, because it basically serves the same purpose as potential with everything but more specific. There's no need for that, as the QM has assured us it won't be trapped.>Do not release herI don't trust like that. I'd sooner kill her than let her go, to be honest.
>>6160043>Report your findings to Dokk, the one who recruited you for help against the sussynessThe WEESH thing really depends on where it draws its power from. As seafud said, the people of this world are weak because all of their powers are borrowed, not something they own. For example, magical affinity would not mean all that much if it's "borrowed" from the world, nor luck, nor potential for everything.As it is though, I'm leaning towards luck or potential for everything, whichever one that isn't merely bound to this world, if any. As it is, we still need a trophy for Seafuds. It'd either have to be Blew Bewbs (possibly meaning we give up or wish or else have to fight her again) or the head or staff of the shammy.
>>6160067Also, we we make a weesh, I resolve to...RELEASE HER TO SEAFUDS :DDDD

>>6160075any anon who missed the end of the last thread i recommend reading through the last discussionnot expecting it will influence your choice but do it anyway>>6160056
>>6160067>Seafood said all the powers of the people of this world are borrowedSlight correction: Seafood said that the spells of God-botherers are not truly their own: Paladins, Clerics, and similar. Once they die or lose their class, like Fallen Paladins and Clerics, they lose their class spells. Thus, they don't "own" their spells; it's all on loan by their pfeh Gods.>The WEESH thing really depends on where it draws its power fromThe Efreet is an Outsider who can meddle with any mundane reality. The WEESH's result will be in effect on any mortal realm, up to and including Sigil (until the Lady notices). It will still work but in greatly diminished capacity in places where (certain) Outsiders have Eminent Domain, such as Godrealms.
>>6160075h-HEY
Hey QM, how would you rank each wish in terms of how difficult it would be to hide from Sifu?My guesses, in order of least difficult to hide to most difficult to hide or bullshit away, would be:>Lucky.>All potential, no proficiency.>Magical potential plus proficiency.>Stealing abilities.>Regeneration.
>>6160124QM ranks as follows, low to high:>Lucky, Regen, Steal Ability, same tier initially>Magical potential plus proficiency>Unlimited all-potential Seafood won't notice initially, especially if you don't pull stunts in front of him; he's too focused on the upcoming []HEIST[] and restoring his original body at this time.Demonstrate slavish loyalty and heaps of tribute before he regains his original body, and he won't be too ruffled when he finds out. The moment he perceives that Toady might become his peer however - vis, Toady has significant accomplishments in all 3 XianXia domains: Martial, Alchemy, Sorcery - he will feel first jealousy, then envy, then fear.A countdown will start on the "Destroy your Kungfu" trope.
>>6160134Interesting, I was actually decently wrong. I'd assumed that all-potential would go unnoticed for a while because Sifu would have little to no reason to check his potentials again.I also thought that steal ability and regen would be pretty noticeable when he started doing things goblins aren't normally capable of, ie reattaching his own severed head or some shit like that.
>>6160139>attaching his own severed heddUnless Seafood kills Toady himself to see this happen, it won't.Toady is in practice YWH's dogsbody; death and dismemberment will usually happen during undertakings out of Seafood's sight.Give Seafood a reason to become curious about your BaZi(Eight Characters horoscopy) and ZiWei(Purple Star astrology) again however, he will be alarmed at how much your fate has changed. >how do we give him a reason to search our BaZi + ZiWei again?By disagreeing with him successfully; by challenging and beating him at anything requiring skill or knowledge; even by helping him succeed, if your expected capability should not be sufficient. Before you are ready, you must maintain a cretinous existence before him. Apart from his desperation at the time, this existential gap was a significant reason why he offered Discipleship to you at all.>dafuggisdis QMA XianXia Deviant-Supreme. For YWH, all the Dark Triad / Dark Factor boxes in the current DSM-5 would have been ticked and shakily pencilled.

>>6160613i was just about to ask if you will update today lel
>>6160616planned to, but the votes are too shakey, and some anons that voted for one decision didn't commit on other decisions.QM trying not to meddle.
>>6160134Alright, since this list came out, I'm going to swap to:>LuckIt has one other (alt) vote. It's not the strongest, I know, but it's the most subtle. I want to NOT get discovered by Sifu, as long as possible. And probability alteration is always a good pick to be honest.>>6160616Can I convince you to at least switch to Luck? It's subtler than both all-potential and magical-potential. And it really does solve our nat 1 issues and then some.
>>6160139>thought that all-potential wouldn't get noticed.Toady, who did not have a natural spiritual root or a beast core, comes back from his holidays with a Pristine Origin Root, Formless Primordial Core, sublime intuition of all Dao paths, eidetic polymathic understanding, and a physique capable of HRNGG and WOOSH and KILLYKILL martial arts combined.It will be a race between Toady faking continued cretiny and Seafood regaining 50% of his powers.
>>6160689I will consider switching my vote if... (i really want my magic tho. we wont be getting it any other way)we not only get our NAT 1s turned into 100s, but enemy NAT 100s turned into 1s>>6160730will QM approve?
>>6160737It may end up having a greater effect than that. Have you ever heard of the butterfly effect?Imagine a butterfly effect that starts from the moment of the wish to make everything go smoother for you in life.You intend to rob the local bank. The guard has dysentery that day, which causes him to occupy the toilets and loudly shit. The noises he makes cover up your own noises. The smell of it disturbs the local dragon contracted to sit upon the pile of coins so much that it flies off to get a break from the smell for a while. The vault door also happens to be getting worked on this week, and the worker for it is currently on his lunch break. He forgot to close it again, because he's busy thinking about his daughter, who recently got into an accident from a runaway carriage slamming into her after the horses got startled by a random...butterfly. Speaking of which, that butterfly ended up eating some contaminated rotting food and landing in the guard's lunch earlier, thus giving him that dysyntery to begin with.
>>6160743that would be OP which is why QM wont allow itas i said before, every other wish aims to make us OP while i simply ask for magic. meaning that at least with my wish its clear what we will get and not be disappointed when QM nerfs any of the other wishes desired outcome.if i remember correctly QM even said it will only affect rollsits too late now, but QM should have stated how he will implement each wish. as demonstrated last thread the "steal abilities" one turned out to be not as powerful as first thought after i asked for clarifications several timesmaybe it also wouldn't be a bad idea to put the original wording in brackets next to the toady-speak version
>>6160757I don't think OP would disallow it. It's entirely within the spirit of fortune favoring you always.That being said, I could see him potentially implementing the wish more simply by raising our results by a tier and lowering enemy results a tier.Critfail -> fail, fail -> success, success -> Critsuccess for toady. Reversed for enemies.We'll have to wait and see for implementation. But I gotta say, you're really picky, you know? I get you really want magic here and now, but this is hardly the only chance we'll ever get of getting magic. Especially if we have luck on our side.
>>6160737QM has been twigging how to do this mechanically.For now, LUKKMAXXing means:BUFFS:>Enemy Nat100 is a flat 100, no crit effect>Self Nat1 is Nat100>Self Nat100 causes the nearest dice, left or right at QM discretion, to gain Nat100>LUKKY TUCH: Doubles, 11, 22, &c, 99, give +7 to the D100; 77 gives +21>Gui Li, a cursed spirit, will only invade his dreams when Toady permits it; there just *never* seems to be a good time to haunt him any more. 1x haunting per ~20 days.NERFS:>So long as Toady is above 50% HP, he rolls Bo3 instead of BoA, to reflect his newfound complacency.>If Toady DOESNT permit Gui Li to haunt him 1x per 20 days, he loses the LUKKY TUCH until he does.
>>6160758picky? more like criticaloh look QM just repliedwhat i am trying to say is that my wish is the only one clearly defined and not a "mystery box"if blew bewbz would screw with our wish here any other choice would result in potentially huge fuckery (like what will happen when we make a 2nd wish)
>>6160759good effort QMnow did the anon who came up with this wish think it would turn out this way? likely not. now there are draw backs even
>>6160760Negro please. I'm looking at the exact same options you are, and your option is not any more defined than the rest of them. >Gimme high magical affinity, potential, and proficiency.Gives you a high (yet still limited) capacity for magic, and immediate proficiency with that magic so you can actually utilize it without training. Further training and development may be possible, but it's unclear on if we're immediately put at our cap or not.Quoting the exact wording of anon from the previous thread:>Gimme nondraining, fastest, perfect, endless regenerationGives you the most effective regenerative ability the wish can manage, without imperfections in the process, and without draining your resources such as calories. This may also keep us eternally youthful due to telomeres no longer shortening. Cancer is of no concern anymore, too.>Gimme unlimited beneficial potential for everything.Not even the sky is the limit for absolutely everything Toady could want to do. He gains no proficiency whatsoever with it, but his potential absolutely skyrockets. Any skill can be learned. Any ability can be trained higher. Any language can be spoken. All it takes is the right kind of training for whatever he sets his mind to.>Make Luck always in my favor!Probabilities always skew positively in favor of Toady. If it relates to toady in some way, chance will lean towards him. I don't really need to explain this one, https://powerlisting.fandom.com/wiki/Luck does it well enough. Per QM explanation, critfails are crits for toady, and no more crits for enemies. Nat 100s expand to nearby dice. Dubs give extra points on rolls, and gui li gets cucked.>Gimme ability to permanently steal abilities!Did recieve QM clarification, thrice per day we can attempt to steal another's abilities such as features or racial shit. Can incur mutations if features require certain biology, and can be resisted if something loses its soul. Unsure if it can work on things that NEVER had a soul, like a Golem. Surprisingly not a very noticeable thing to sifu, which means sifu may have a similar ability of his own or has encountered such things in the past. Could potentially be strengthened in the future, given how these things usually snowball.>>6160774Note how the drawbacks are from complacency and gui li's presence. If he eliminates his complacency and gui li in the future, there are no more nerfs.
>>6160777i defined my wish as follows:>>the intended outcome would be that toady can learn any spell of any level (of any class, but for balancing reasons i can understand if not) with no side effects like exhaustion or misfiring. he can identify items, use items normally only magic class creatures could and cast cantrips right away. (among other things)which QM approved of (he at least didnt say something leading me to believe he doesnt)personally i dont like being OP and i also know QM cant let us be OP just like that (and at this point we didnt know that our wish would be granted without any unwanted side effects)i see a "small" upgrade as more than enough of a bonus reward from a side mission of a side quest. without me we wouldnt even have that wish btw (no one wanted to go in the dungeon and then to the boss at first)>>6160759can we get clarification on >Gimme nondraining, fastest, perfect, endless regenerationQM? (sorry to bother you again)
>>6160774There will be narrative effects to all Wishes, "drawbacks" like Toady's new complacency and Gui Li negating LUKKY TUCH if not dealt with, per QM post >>6160759.>Potent-AllMain challenge: Toady has to powerlevel while playing a cretin and hopefully surpass Seafood before he notices, vis, YWH's original body restored, ~35% full power. (Sabotaging Seafood's efforts is always an option)>Majjik-allMain challenge: Same as above, but Seafood needs to get to 50+% full power.{WISH} will do what it says on the tin; narrative will unfold in response. As blessedtripps anon >>6160777 points out, all narrative obstacles can be overcome unless anons manage to cleverly paint themselves into a corner somehow. QM doesn't know how, but understands that some anons will actively unironically shit in the jacuzzi.

>>6160819Ignore my deleted post, for I'm retarded and misremembered things.Interesting to see that regeneration has some effect on mind, soul, and existence. I wonder if it would end up regenerating magical reserves or other resources than just HP once we inevitably gain access to such things. Chi reserves? Psi pool? Stamina? A lot of questions to be answered with this one, questions that I think would be better answered in-quest if we were to pick it. Kind of reminds me of the intricacies of regeneration in Ajin, if you've ever read it - they had cool details like "Destroys matter that gets in the way of regeneration" and "Requires a full death for regeneration to start".
>>6160825>requires death for Regen to startlol, WEAK
>>6160836True, but I think they did that to make it harder for the Ajin.Another kewl fact about them is that they always regenerate from the largest chunk of flesh available, no matter what that is or where it is. This has been abused by someone intentionally chopping off their flesh, storing it somewhere or sending it to a highly secure location that's otherwise impossible to infiltrate, and arranging for their body to turn into soup when they die as a form of fast travel.
>>6160787QM approves your intent behind the wording for >Majjikkal Magic of all schools and levels is open to you. The difficulty is in finding spell copies and/or tutors, and sourcing material components.DND magic components are exorbitant at higher levels.>Sequester, level 7, requires 5000GP worth of ruby dustAccording to Toady's current balance sheet, https://rentry.org/2336mod9 , he doesn't even have 1 GP yet.Spamfiring biggybiggy spells is not a real option even for the OPest of magicians.
>>6160838>>6160825Clever.

You know, I just realized. We have THE perfect excuse to EVERYONE for why we regenerate now."I drank a weird potion from the guy that runs that fight pits. Made me regen like a mufugga. Tasted like shit tho."It wouldn't even be a lie. We're just leaving out the fact that the regen from the potion isn't the same regen we have now, and that the potion expired :^)

>>6160865how many points do we have currently?whats HHLM? different from HLM in what way?
>>6160876Heroic LM = capable combatants; at least one weapon and armor proficiency, and larger hitpoint pool than civvies. May have lesser Skills. Orcs without leadership or specialization count; see Toady's grand entrance into the Orc Settlements. Level 1-3 Adventurers go here.Higher Heroic LM: Usually monstrous combatants and higher level Heroes; opponents with even bigger HP caps, environmental passive advantage, AND worthwhile Skills. Level 4-7 Adventurers in Parties go here; anything after level 8+ counts even on solo. The Green Cloaks that put down Toady were generated based on levels 7, 7, 8. The difference in damage and armor can be attributed to gear.Toady is still not capable of taking on a coordinated Party face-on. Lesson learned.
>>6160876all HHLM gained from running the Sother Look ice dunjjon have been pumped in. Nothing since.
>>6160825More regeneration-centered thoughts that I quite literally had in the shower.Likely bestows some amount of disease resistance, as our immune system is free to go absolutely insane on anything it perceives as a threat, because collateral damage isn't a thing when all the native cells you damage with your fire-and-forget cellular nukes just regenerate a second later. And the 'cellular nukes' themselves regenerate too.May end up providing resistance to certain types of curses, depending on the nature of the individual curse. Will it help toady with his cursed wang, too? Possibly! We'll have to see, if the option ends up winning.For a grosser thought, infinite vomit is now a possibility as our bile and stomach acid is replenished as soon as it vacates our system. A consolation for the cleanfreaks is that if we need to clean ourselves, we could literally boil ourself alive and come out almost 100% bacteria free! Watch your old skin slough off while squeaky clean NEW skin grows in its place!And for a final thought, tattooing is nowhere near as permanent for us as it is everyone else. Want to change it? Just rip your skin off, and get it done over.

The maggy worm actually fights to get back in and stay in, but whatever Blew Bewbz did surpasses it: the huuj maggy rotter is forced out, clutching gobbets of ripped giblets, mewing with rage.Including the veinies still blindly flopping about trying to find and reach you, this thing might be one and half of your full body length, from tippy toe to poity poit. You know what to do with it. Instinct.>kellert wiv fayaOnce she delivered on the {{{WEEESH}}} Blew Bewbz took the minute and half you spent writhing and struggling to fugg orf, accepting that you have given your word on the traditional bargain. She leaves her teacup behind, probably as fanks for not raepen her.Little did she know.Anyway: you get out some liquid flammables from Pouchy, matches, and a mallet. You splatt the uggli muvva starting with its veinies, methodically, thoroughly, until it's a big patch of trembly gray ooz on the floor. Then you scrape it all together with a shovel head, douse it, light it up.Then moosh it to jam again, douse again, light again. For a thing that size it takes a lot of killing. When it finally stops moving you scoop the inert mess into an empty paint can with the shovelhedd, plonk the shovelhedd and mallet in, lid it, seal the lot fikky with sheeping tar, and Pouch it. The moment you encounter something that might do the job, maybe a Whitey Cherch Chimney or sumfin, you're going to dump it in there n purjj the Godsdamned Hells out of it.°°°You sit and enjoy the euphoria for a good long Time, wanking absently. You know without any reasoning yet with absolute certainty that you will never age, never die, and whatever this shit world throws at you you will allus grow back.After a bit, you just stop wanking.

>>6161386JESUS CHRIST. I thought I was onto something with the cock curse, but I didn't know it was THAT. That's fucking horrifying.Somewhat interested to see what massive purging of impurities will do. The loss of other things in our kit is somewhat sad, but nothing we actually need now that we have absurd regen. And honestly, we can probably keep the monster parts we shed and implant 'em in a living weapon or somethin like that if we really want those features back. And dewclaws...well, those were just an organic replacement for something we cludged together anways. We can go back to the normal steel shit.But yes, VERY excited to see what purging all that skumm koat will end up doing narratively. Sifu did seem to indicate it was a bunch of nasty build up from eating his kin. Wonder if it was blocking our pathways or some mystical bullshit like that.

>>6160760Very true. Although to anyone familiar with cultivation, Toady probably just looks like he ingested ancient spring water filled with Five Years of Life Energy, giving him babyface and fixing his shit.A shocking amount of cultivators are stuck with babyface for 100 years because of the alchemical items they love to abuse.

Currently, YWH considers Mo Ao a failed experiment; unless dire need arise he won't bother with a Dimm Wraith that can't cast or properly melee and can only employ Spell-likes in a half-assed way. Mo Ao may guess that Toady has {WISH}ed for one of the things he had been asked to word, but he doesn't know which one.

>>6161428>Once a day Toady may use Besemet's Teacup to create a mundane item or extremely low magical utility-consumable of ~1GP valueWas rereading the last update, came across this.So are both mundane items and magical consumables limited to the 1GP value, or just the magical consumables?Well, not that it particularly matters. I have some ideas to abuse this since there's no mass or dimensions limit listed.>Summon 1gp worth of totally mundane, low-quality stone. Right on top of someone.>Summon 1gp worth of Totally Normal Air for fresh air in a donjon or to create a sudden windburst.>Summon 1gp worth of Seawater to flood a muthafucka.>Summon 1gp worth of Hydrogen and light a match.
Rolled 4, 5, 4, 3, 4, 8 = 28 (6d8)>>6161823Anything you might ask for is limited to 1GP.>Imma abuse this like a redheaded stepchildThat's the spirit!>1GP worth of stones/seawater/styrofoamThe last time trade values were established, 2§tuffs : 1Ꮆrain , an absurd ratio hand-waved away for being the result of local conflict. Enough time has passed. QM rerollan trade values.1: How many Stuffs is worth 1 Grain2+3: Grains to Silver(4+5)÷1.5+(6): Silver to Gold
>>6161823>QM rerollan trade valueslook what you made him do! grrrrrr>>6161831so we wont get another big wish?
>>6161835Actually it works out in our favor with the teacup if it takes more Stuff to equal the value of a gold piece.
>>6161823NEW TRADE VALUES:Stuffs : Grain 4 : 1Grain : Silver9 : 1Silver : Gold13 : 113 x 9 x 4 ≈ 468 worth of Stuffs a day.In QM's mind, Stuffs has the stablest value because it is utility value; a decent fulltang dagger or usable pickaxe are both 5 Stuffs each. An irl full brown-bottle of unlabeled thinner, 750ml, might be worth 4 Stuffs. Thinner is so useful, especially if it can also theoretically be drunk like Toe Bend's Thinneride.Toady can potentially summon 117 brownbottles of thinner a day.>SUMMON IT ON TOP OF A WRIGGERIt either appears in the Teacup and you take it out, or you overturn the Teacup and it comes out at drop speed, accelerating 10ms^-2. If you want to drop it on a WRigger you'll need to have elevation on him first, then if in combat, roll 2 defense to do the action.>ROKKS FALL LOLLLLLSand is near worthless in terms of Stuffs. A full sandbag, as filled by a goblin, might be 12ilb or 5kg; Humies make 30-50 ilb sandbags. A full Gobby sandbag is worth 1 Stuffs."SUMMONNN SANDBAAAAG !!!" using earlier maffs will get you 5616ilbs of sand. Try not to get caught in it, lol."hrnnn. then SUMMONNN LAVAAAAA !!!"This one will get you probably just one glop of rapidly cooling lava. While Stuffs holds utility-value, Greenies value their skidmeats much moar than utility. The Teacup is partially keyed to this racially rooted idea, since it is keyed to Toady. Anything that is immediately as-is dangerous will be scaled astronomically, likely over their actual market value. TLDR: the Teacup will likely not be able to make pufferfish juice, enriched uranium, or live adult black kryats, even if Toady encounters and knows how to name them."SUMMARNNNN HYDROJJAAAAN!!!"Until Toady gets familiar with volatile gaseous alchemic reagents, he has no way to do this. 1GP worth of paint thinner is doable, because he has encountered and fucked around with it.Apprenticeship with an established alchemist might open doors.
>>6161843Fair enough. A shitload of water (which is virtually free) or an even bigger shitload of normal air (which IS free) is doable then. Poisoning a village well with a bunch of diseased rotting meat, which is virtually worthless to everyone and doesn't pose an immediate threat, may be possible.Thermite is unknown to Toady, but is made out of extremely abundant materials. Aluminum and Rusted Iron, dusted and mixed together. The alchemical job is real tempting for this alone, since he could just summon each part individually and make a heapload of thermite to burn shit at 4500°F.
>>6161843can we just be smart and wish for 1gp? (alternatively stuff with the value of 1gp)
>>6161848Yes. Toady just has to encounter it, then invest time finding out the formula.Narratively, Toady still knows nothing of what we've discussed, so he will at least be taking days just experimenting, if the Teacup is used for nothing else.>ask for sand>ask for water>ask for thinner>ask for Graincoin>ask for Silver>ask for gold>ask for mmmm STINGYSTINGER (he gets a dedd stinger with denatured poison sacs>ask for NOIVES>ask for rokks>ask for shiny jool rokks>ask for pickaxes>ask for Helff Potty>ask for a Effigy Shammy Charm (a voodoo doll with no powers appears)>ask for a biggy Shammy Majjikk Stikk (a big fancy stikk appears)>ask for fresh air>ask for shiddIt will take ±15 days mucking about with the Teacup for Toady to cover what's on here. please don't put any real actual formulas on here. Nothing that will put us on Moar lists than we are already. Please, please.
>>6161851course you can.But only after Toady has spent enough time fucking around.Everything just discussed here will have been tried by Toady.
>>6161856Day one.A piece of paper with all the limitations and conditions of the teacup listed out, in a language that mo ao can read.Saved toady experimenting.
>>6161835>ohnoesss>no moar Beeg Weesh?Besemet has buggered orf. She never expected a Greenoid to thrash her on hometurf, and it happened.She did not expect to be not raept if at the mercy of any Greenoid, and it happened.She did not expect Greenoids to know what she is or about {WISH}; this terrifying red one does, somehow.You have been very gallant for a member of a race of rotters.Now that the little cozy (noun) she has in Sother Look is no longer safe, she's orf. If Toady had wished for Potent-All or Majjikk-All or LUKK, he would have the presence of mind to shove her back inna Pouch.Perfect Regen, being involuntary, kicked in and started purging him before he could act on his plann.
>>6161863:(i blame power gamer anon
>>6161862Toady can ask for this after several days, after encountering a few failed wishes. The full list of limitations might be an industrial sized bogroll in fontsize 10, if it listed specifics. Also: Mo Ao will then know what Toady has and how it works, and Dimmu Queen is listening in at crackly low fidelity. QM invites you to reconsider.
>>6161867Hmm. Alright. What if we asked it for soundwaves matching toady's voice, which explains what it does at toady's normal speaking volume, in goblinese.
Second thoughts. A picture book that explains the teapot's limits with diagrams that even an idiot like Toady can understand.And then, the day after, a picture book that can help even an idiot like toady learn how to read Common.
>>6161866There there.QM thinks it pans out about equal.LUKK has the least direct power of all the proposed wishes, so an additional 50% WEESH buffs it.The Potent-all and Majjikk-All will inevitably make an enemy out of YWH; Toady will be needing that 50% WEESH real hard to survive his Master.now that things are set in stone, QM thinks LUKK and Potent-All would have been the most fun to do narratively.LUKK would have eventually involved the Ruling Principles of GSverse; all the Players want a piece of that Goblin Special Unaligned Unit in Chaos' Domain that is unsubject to the Chance dice, just like the OP DMPC self-insert GoblinSlayer.
>>6161869Toady has no idea of sound waves, a baseline of modern science.But remind QM again if you wish to try this in 15gamedays.
>>6161876we can go looking for another genie at some point right? (in like 1+ year out of game time probably lol)

Gudd lukk.
>>6161905are they only in dungeons? it wouldnt hurt grinding dungeons anyway since we are unkillable now so its just free loot and LMidea: we tell seafood about the wish since he will notice anyway, but tell him we found a "scroll of wish" and we wanted to test it out before bringing it to him but it was one time use which we didnt even consider because dumb goblinthis will make seafood interested in dungeons with their powerful loot and strange nature. he will want to get a wish of his own. the one advantage we have over him is that he knows little to nothing about this world.how does that sound?
>>6161929The ones roaming about out of dunjjons are in the lower heavenly realms. A veeery few muck about among mortals regularly in disguise; these are default wary and eccentric by nature, and often greater in rank than Besemet within their own societies. Not being proficient in majjikk, Toady will be extremely disadvantaged in this hunt.To address your other keshchan:>hey Sweetfudds>Iz found a WEESH scroll while raidn a dunjjon>but I didn't know what it wuz n fired it>it gaves me guldd, see? GAULD!!>mebbe we cudd go find moar weesh scrollz?"...Tudi. How did you know it was a Wish scroll. How did you read it." QM reminds anon that Seafood hung Toady up by his nose hairs for half an hour, just because Toady asked him to Bad End Kivvin the Kid Rogue. Imagine Seafood's reaction if he detects that Toady is trying to redirect his attentions to dunjjon clearing. If you wish to steer Seafood towards your purposes, it must be planned and executed reeel subtle. Just baiting him like you did to get a new GIGA GLUGGZ will end with a hefty pricetag attached. For a nigh indestructable distorted-space container that can hold 4 Smol Helff Potts, YWH's pricetag was the head or staff of an Orc ShammyBoss. Weigh that in real terms for a bit. Also, remember on the journey towards Plague Town, when Toady suggested killing moar people on the road for LMs to feed Seafood's Pall Body, to save time. Seafood agreed it was a gudd idee, then turned right around and commanded Toady to do it. A 3.5 year old Greenoid trying to squeeze a 2800 year old Immortal is going to backfire. The combined Level, Wis and Int difference is almost exactly one Universe.
>>6161943ok fine... that would be too easywhat we could get away with probably, is saying that the dungeon boss granted us a wish for defeating it, but we had to use it then and there.now what, Mr. Calamity-Corrupted Corpsepearl? he can then decide for himself if he wants to take a look at dungeons more closely
>>6161929Also note:If you somehow manage to find another Efreet/Genie and FAIL, the first thing that will definitely happen after Toady gets torn to pieces over and over is his original wish getting unwished. QM rebukes anon's suicidally blinding greed.
>>6161945QM can include this in the next vote.If the Droogz all throw their hands in, Toady will approach Seafood wiv hiz cunnern plann.
>>6161948i dont want to keep you from starting to write the update, but i have one more question...seafood cant harm us directly thanks to the contract we made at the beginningbut since toady cant be harmed technically does that mean seafood could make us explode as a punishment or for experimental purposes? we would still feel pain after all...
>>6161878To put it in Toady terminology."Make speaky sounds like me dat exshplain wotcher do and what yer limme taters are, in languidge I can unnastan, at aboot the vahlume I'm usin roight now."Although the picture book explanation is probably better.
>>6161951>Seafood carnt harm uz fanks to his Seafood prommiz>We'z allus safe, apart frum beatingz>roit?YWH can't kill or harm Toady within the oath, correct, but disowning him is permissible if: betrayal is committed, a cardinal rule of the sect is broken (none for YWH; Supreme Heterodox), or a very significant failure (very usual for Evil sects; YWH is an Evil Cultivator).After getting disowned, the usual Evil Sect retributions may be inflicted. How pissed YWH is will determined whether Toady just gets a sword through the heart or turned to ragu; how well he can play dedd will determine whether Toady escapes YWH for good, or gets a whole new dungeon dimension created juuust for him.Punishments couched as discipline (thrashing) or training (Unworldly Bride) is permissible within the oath; as an Apex Deviant, YWH's boundaries for chastisement and training are very wide apart. Some measure of picrel is always on the menu, if YWH knows "it ultimately helps him".YWH will end the Sifu-Tudi relationship on good terms if: Toady has learned all he can as a Disciple, has served him well, and YWH perceives he has no moar use for him.
>>6161972edit:Toady won't escape YWH for good while YWH is still in GSverse. Toady needs to lay low from him for a good long time.
>>6161951>since we carnt *accherly* get harmed>does it mean Seafudds can explode us over and over????Only if it is couched as discipline or training. Pain is still pain, even if it leaves no marks.That said, now that he has P E R F E C T regeneration, there may be Forbidden Arts available to Toady either as Martial Arts, Alchemic Supplements, or Sorcerous Tools.Toady just needs to come clean and get punished first, and likely toil and suffer to begin FORBIDDENMAXXING.
>>6161984>FORBIDDENMAXXINGsounds cool. we could easily do rituals that require us to self harm in any capacity. first we need to gain relative pain immunity, perhaps even become a masochist. toady has to start continuously injuring himself. just light cuts/stabs at first, but escalating to jumping down cliffs over and over again and getting mauled by various monsters for "fun"

>>6162095>bash in da Sother Look dunjjon, hard mode>dis looks innerestunI think this is a good opportunity to get absolutely insane reputation gain. If we're the ONLY guy able to still get in there and get out, we'll be known as the hardest goblin on the face of the planet. Plus, it gives us a chance to test out all the pros and cons of our regeneration.As an aside, that stamina shit is insane. All the lactic acids are getting drained away six seconds after they form. Toady's gonna have to adopt a new sprinting strategy where he propels himself forward as hard as he can, shattering his legs in the process, and landing ONLY after six seconds have passed and his legs have had time to heal up to repeat the process. That way, he can go maximumer speed at all times.
>>6162095i dont think we should care that much about gorlovva what the dungeon is doing is none of our concern. we have no way of doing anything about it anyway since blew bewbz fucked offso i am once again asking to>go ter arener n farm sum LM>>6162112that would draw a bit too much attention to us i feel like. so much in fact that OverBoss might see us as a threat. either way, keeping a lower profile is our best course of actionand if its really that cold in there we could just freeze to an ice block in there (whats likely not prevented by our regen)
