Sheryl, a young streetwalker you recruited to your service with gold and promises, has proven herself quite useful as your agent amongst the living. As she was pound by a fae pact to serve you, you have no fear that she will turn against you in any but the most egregious circumstances.

You possess numerous summoned servitors, each with their own set of abilities, are ready to do whatever you ask of them. Their magical and mundane skills can do what yours cannot, and have proven invaluable in almost all your successes thus far. Two sprites, a mimir, three earth spirits, an air spirit, an assassin imp, a warling, two faelings, an apprentice shade, and a spellrat are ready to carry out your will however you (or they) see fit.

***

You awaken to a cool and foggy night. You managed to finish your year-long binding spell yesterday after a great deal of work. While you could test it tonight, your scheduled meeting with your ex-boyfriend is tomorrow; if you wish to make any preparations or do anything before going to see him, now is the time.

What will you do?

I should note that I'm hoping to finish this quest today if all goes well; if you're not destroyed I'll write up an epilogue. The heroine is unlikely to encounter situations which will significantly alter her personality following this one, and I don't have much interest in making this a quest that's more about gathering power than watching the main character evolve.

>>7874452
>End of Vampire Bride
Well, its been a good run. Lets end this shit.

>>7874452
Oh god, so many threads to review...

>>7874452
You make me a very *sad* *camper*. Nonetheless, it has been fun 'til now, so let's have a magnificent ending.

>>7874452

So much frowny face.
There are many many situations in which a person can change and adapt, as well as the society around that person.

Think of a real human-- does her life end after she's reconciled or broken up with her ex?

>>7874512 >>7874581
Your praise is appreciated. I should point out, though, that I will need you to provide a course of action before we can move forward.

Your ex-boyfriend will expect you early tomorrow evening, probably; your note specified day but not time. Unless you wish to arrive later, you'll have to complete all preparations you wish to make tonight.

Alright, we need a plan of escape if things go bad. Do we know where we are meeting our boyfriend? If we do, we can have the three earth elementals hollow out the ground beneath the meeting site, save for a few supporting pillars. Then, if we signal it, they knock out the pillars, causing our boyfriend and his party to fall into the pit trap, buying us valuable seconds to make our escape.

>>7874607
Yes, but that's not the point.

>>7874452
Well, let's see where this goes. Write a will.

>>7874645
Alternatively, we can see about contacting Trudan and get him a message, preferable the night of the meeting, telling him where he can go to find the "party" that robbed his warehouse and the pawnbroker. If things go well at the meeting, we help our boyfriend kill Trudan's assassins, but if they go poorly, we use the confusion to escape.

The trick to this plan is getting a message to Trudan and also having arrive on time, but not too early.

>>7874677
>The trick to this plan is getting a message to Trudan and also having arrive on time, but not too early.

So you're hoping that by the power of plot he arrives exactly when we need him to? Yeah, somehow that doesn't seem like what would happen, going by how UM has been running this. Way to much reality getting in the way of any narravitium.

>>7874645
You've only specified the town in which you're meeting him, not the place within it. The town in question about a day away at human speed- no more than an hour or two for you- and has only a couple thousand people; locating an adventurer or adventuring party shouldn't be that difficult.

>>7874696
Eh, let's just go. I remember last thread you mentioned that we might try a "I've done bad things but please love me anyway" approach. I'm in favor of that.

>>7874687
Hey, I'm just tossing ideas at the wall. Besides, the more realistic response would be for Trudan to ignore the message, not wanting to walk into a trap.

For it to work, we would need to send the message out as we leave for the meeting, telling Trudan that the party responsible are currently at location X, and that he needs to act fast if he wants to catch them. This way he doesn't have time to lay a trap and won't arrive to early, if he arrives at all.

>>7874696
Oh, oaky then fuck this noise
>>7874645
>>7874677

>>7874763
Alright. But we don't know exactly where in the city we're going to find him, so the best we could do is tell Trudan which city the thieves are.

>>7874645 >>7874677
>>7874738 >>7874788
The thought that you might want to test your new binding spell is driven from your mind in a flurry of worries over the meeting tomorrow. How will you find him? How will you avoid having him kill you? Perhaps you could arrange the terrain in your favor- have your earth spirits or sprites prepare a trap of some kind to let you get away, and lure him into it for the meeting. Or convince one of the people that you've antagonized, like the underworld boss Trudan, to send someone who might interfere.

Regardless, your move now is to investigate the place. Waving farewell to Sheryl, you begin to run for the town where your lost love awaits. Your sprites, air spirit, and earth spirits accompany you, and you find yourself slowing your pace somewhat to accommodate them. You might as well have some measure of backup.

The fog of the night rolls back before you steadily, and the road is all but deserted. It doesn't take long to find the town- an unremarkable place, with small fields surrounding it and heavy woods beyond them. It seems peaceful, even sleepy, in spite of the bustling metropolis so nearby.

You walk confidently into its streets. They're mostly empty, although cheerful music comes from several buildings, likely taverns. One of those, or an inn, will be the most likely place to find your boyfriend. A quick gesture and a mental image to your air spirit, and it checks each of them in turn. It only takes a few minutes before it returns to you with news.

He's here already, sitting at a table in one of the inns with two other men and a woman. They arrived at least a day early. An impulse telling you to run to your boyfriend's arms strikes you, but you shove it aside; that would be far beyond foolish.

Just the same, you could act now, if you want to, moving the schedule up or sending a message to set a specific meeting location for tomorrow. That would give you the rest of the night to make preparations- summon more creatures, or perhaps prepare a specific spot for the meeting. Your resolution from last night to tell him that you're leaving him and he should leave you behind as well comes to mind- if you wish to stick to it, doing so without a fallback plan would probably be a very poor idea.

What will you do?

>>7875026
Send the air spirit to ask him where he wants to meet.

>>7875056
We should probably ask to meet him alone, shouldn't we?

>>7875078
Yes, but if the place he had planned would already afford us that, then I see no reason to change that other than paranoia.

So ask him where he was planning to meet with us, and if it's too open or public then we can negotiate and try to move it to somewhere else.

FUCK YOU
WHY DO YOU START THREAD WHEN I HAVE TO SLEEP

I HATE YOU

and it's the LAST thread too :(

ITT: /tg/ wants to be the big girl.

>>7875187


to be fair, we're taking being the big girl seriously.

send a creature to spy on the bf's party. we make preparations for tomorrow.

> So much frowny face.

I'm still a bit pissed that /tg/ has made her evil and now she's going to break up with the boyfriend. We're just like any other character in a quest thread, always seeking power...

>>7875263
Being good would have made this quest end much sooner.

> if you're not destroyed I'll write up an epilogue.

thanks for the vote of confidence >:(

>>7875437
The only winning move is not to play.

Which is exactly what I'm going to do.

Send the ranger sprite to find two or three spots a little removed from town, easy to defend and hard to surround, like a recess in a cliff, or a ravine, maybe a cave. The earth elemental will go with him, and search for abandonned buildings (we can enter uninhabited houses, right ?) in town. They should have no difficulties finding those. Then they should start creating tunnels going from each spot to one of the buildings. The entrances should be narrow enough so that we can enter swiftly with our vampire agility, but not a cleric or fighter in armor. A short way inside the tunnel should be prepared a section that can easily collapse behind us, should we ask a earth elemental. The sprite will hide the entrances in vegetation, and grow also the surrounding plants so that it won't be obvious to an experienced adventurer.
Bind two more air spirits, send them with the first to keep watch on each spot.
Ask vaesh and the other if they could use preparation to make better illusions, and is so, send them too so that they can be ready.

We'll contact the boyfriend tomorrow and give him one of the locations.

>>7875263
>Implying that isn't the primary driving force for all life.

>>7875263
Apparently UM is planning to make us the autodestructive kind of evil.

>>7875472
I have to say, I agree.
It's not like a book-- here when we're presented with a clear and definite ending, it just seems to make playing pointless.

>>7875499

to be fair, the guys who wanted her to be evil out-voted those who wanted her to stay loyal to bf. not UM's fault.

>>7875515

No, there's no such thing as evil.
There are only psychological motivations that may or may not be beneficial to other organisms.

UM just wants to make the loyal-to-bf option the *desired* option, punishing all others that don't comply.
There can be far more depth to a character than her romantic relationships and moral quandaries.

>>7875515
Well, screw them. We are playing a woman, so changing our mind on a whim isn't out of character. We should decide not to break up with him and that we still love him. Then, when we get to the meeting, we blame him for us turning into a vampire, because he never made time for me. Then if things go bad, we should tell him he has a small penis.

> we should tell him he has a small penis.

enjoy being chopped into tiny pieces :(

>>7875598
Passive-aggressive behaviour FTW?

>>7875515
I don't remember that. The "I'm gonna go there and break up with him, wtf" was UM's initiative. I think that "Send him a message to fix a meeting" was too.
Evil players were cheering for us to kill him, neutral ones said that the meeting was a bad idea and that now was not the time for a boyfriend, and good ones said let's meet him, propose to him and die.

>>7875598
I HAVE A PLAN.

At finding out that he's here, we get scared. We abandon the meeting, pack up our summoning table, and travel as far as we can away from this place, in the opposite direction.

>>7875622
It seems that most Vampire Quest GMs burn out eventually.
It is likely, however, that the hivemind of /tg/ will not allow our heroine to die. No matter what happens.

>>7875624
>At finding out that he's here, we get scared.

Um, why? We're the ones who asked to meet him, of course he would be here. And so he came here a bit early, so what? It makes sense that f you're going to meet someone and you have to travel to get there that you should try to arrive a day or two early just in case something delays you.

>>7875624
Not scared.

Enlightened.

We are no longer who we were. Why do we still cling onto our past, when we have all but shed it in deeds?

Fuck the BF. He can burn for all we care. There's things to be done, and this is all just a potentially-lethal waste of time.

>>7875658


what are you talking about? there's only one vampire Quest GM

>>7875056 >>7875078 >>7875101
As you think, you move through the town to reach the inn where your boyfriend waits, moving almost automatically across rooftops with silent, light-footed steps. A dark and ominous hunter drawn to a monster slayer like a moth to flame; that's you. Seated on a rooftop from which you can stare at the light pouring from the inn's windows, you call your air spirit to you. "Bear my words to him."

You take a long breath. What to say? "Love, I will meet you tomorrow in this town as promised, shortly after dark. I would prefer it to be somewhere with only you present; this is between us, as it always has been. If you wish to name a place, do so now and I shall hear it." You stop speaking, wondering if you have said enough, if you should tell him how much you've thought of him and how much you've changed. It's a long minute of silence before you finally will your spirit to deliver your message.

>>7875263
The minutes pass as you wait for a reply, your mind turning to thoughts of regrets. Why had things turned out this way? Why hadn't you been stronger, less callous, something that your lover might have been able to still love? Is having spirits and servants at your beck, all the wealth you can seize, all the knowledge you have time to study, and the black powers of the undead really worth giving up the dreams that you'd once treasured? When did you turn down the dark road, and when did you go so far that you can't turn back? The thought of trying to be good now is nothing more than a laughable mockery of those who truly attempt righteousness; you've gone too far in the name of... what were you even working for?

>>7875676
You missed how this quest started. The first GM burned out and applied Rocks Fall. That was when UM took over.

>>7875658
If I wanted railroading, I could as well face real life :(

Your spirit is back, and from its breezy form swirls a long-dreamt-of voice that makes your unbeating heart ache in memory, even caught off guard while speaking of other topics. "-sword. I- what? Are you- honey, are you there?" A murmur of voices fills the spirit for a moment, interrupting one another so much that for a moment you can't hear anything; everyone at his table must be chiming in. "If you're here, just come in now! But... fine. Tomorrow, I'll meet you just outside town."

The spirit fills once again with the murmur of voices; the people with him are arguing against his going alone to face what they expect to be a dangerous monster. He doesn't seem to be particularly stubborn on the point; he may or may not show up alone. You tell the air spirit to return to the inn and listen in further, while remaining as unobtrusive as possible. It feels untrusting, but... this is a matter on which a little distrust is warranted, you think.

>>7875473
With that done... you'll need someplace to run, if he does try to kill you. Getting to where the sprites are waiting outside of town is the work of moments, and you quickly instruct them to find likely places in the wilderness- cliffs, ravines, whatever- and work with the earth spirits to create collapsible tunnels leading to them, concealing the entrances with vegetation. The tunnels should lead to inconspicuous places in town, such as abandoned buildings, if possible, and to slightly outside of town if not. They bow and promise to see it done.

You consider summoning more servants in preparation for the morrow, or calling others here- the faelings, perhaps. If you want the slower-moving ones to arrive in time, they'll have to begin traveling before you next go to sleep. If you go back to the mansion to summon more servants, it'll probably be most of the night before you can come back here, if you have time at all.

What should you do?

>>7875703
>what were you even working for?
Survival.

>>7875674
He's still a heroic prick and will probably kill us. Even if we did ask, I don't see why we shouldn't be scared of him and flee.

>>7875703
>When did you turn down the dark road, and when did you go so far that you can't turn back?

For me it was burning the tavern.

>>7875711


given how you guys play, I'm not surprised.

>>7875761
We all appreciate sanctimony and self-righteousness.
Given how you play, we're not surprised that you are utterly dependent on the whim of other people to survive.

if theres ever time to summon Katana Imps.. it's NOW.

>>7875745
It's not like we had much choice in these things. For example, when we asked to try feeding without killing our PC often decided it wasn't really worth stopping and continued killing merryly without our input.

>>7875720
I think we should have the faelings with us tomorrow. Let's return and ask them.

They could maybe pass a pact with the boyfriend ?

>>7875720
Return home, write some instructions for Sheryl in case we do die. Honestly, if we're dead then we don't need gold or silver or anything, and we really have no one else to leave it to, so I say we leave it all to her. That and the greater summoning circle diagram; it should fetch enough gold from the mage guild or whatever they have here to let her live comfortably for the rest of her life.

>>7875815
Its hard to stop when you're hungry. I don't think she had the willpower at that point.

>>7875703
>when did you go so far that you can't turn back?

Oh rocks,
Sweet oxides,
Parch brittle remnants of our once passionate survival,
Fall upon us now, abrade our illusory sins,
And vanish into dusty memory.

>>7875815
But killing swiftly was often the best solution, for us as much as for the people around and the victims. As long as we can't build a cult or modify memories, at least.

>>7875855
No, it was the easiest solution.

>>7875855
My plans for this admittedly fun world were similar.

Get over emotional troubles.
Build vampire cult.
Overthrow the arbitrary religion.

Plenty of excellent storylines in the making, with a myriad of twists along the way.

>>7875815
>Because of your stupidity, you didn't hide or cover your face when you woke the shopkeeper to order him to open the warded box, so now he knows what you look like.

>You bash the shopkeeper over the head to knock him unconscious. Whoops, looks like you did it too hard and now he's dead.

These are the things that really pissed me off. Did we specify that we should hide somewhere before waking him up? No, but it's pretty fucking obvious that if we're going through all this trouble to avoid killing then we shouldn't do something that would mean that he'd have to die (like seeing our face. I mean come on, we didn't figure that hiding behind the counter of putting on a hood would be a good idea?), so we shouldn't have to specify it.

And then we decide to whack him over the head to knock him out instead of just having the imp do it with the knock out poison. I mean, not only is that stupid, but we've done it before and last time it didn't kill the guy.

These are major things that determine what we do next, and both are things that we, the character, are in control of. But rather than let us decide how to proceed, UM did it for us, and made the choices that put us into the most difficult position.

>>7875892

No, in the case where we are offered no non-lethal options, nor the ability to train ourselves to use less blood, and the circumstance that we were severely damaged with a party of adventurers hunting for us, no place to stay out of the sunlight, and torture-lord moving us around...

>>7875816
Yeah, actually the more I think about it the more this idea makes sense.
Just send vaesh to bring the boyfriend to us. When they're just out of town, she will tell him of our fears concerning this meeting, and ask him to renounce to physical violence against us, and in exchange she will lead him to us. That should conclude the pact ? If not, ask her to improvise, but to limit his part of the contract to not hurting us. We don't want a boytoy.

>>7875929

Perhaps we should have specified 'conceal our face.'
But the accidental head-bash kill was just silly.

>>7875892
Explain to me how you would have dealt with people running around in a panic telling stories of a crazy chick that cut people up and collect their blood ?

>Did we specify that we should hide somewhere before waking him up? No
Actually I did. But the thread 404'd ten minutes after and my post didn't got archived. And I wasn't fast enough to put it back in the new thread before UM wrote his thing.

>>7875996
*nod* Also, some of these things are reasonable to expect us the players to think of, and others are not. We are after all not physically present at the location, we rely on the GM to tell us what is there and what we are capable of.

If he had given a full inventory of the store (maybe containing a burlap sack) we might have gotten the inspiration for concealment.

But it's been "here, go in blind, with no willpower, and no time before response."

>>7876001
Carry some high proof liquor so that in combination with their blood loss our victims wouldn't remember anything the next day?

>>7875996
Actually, the us knocking him out instead of ordering the imp to do it is more palatable to me. I mean, we've said many times that we're trying to minimize the number of people we have to kill. We've also come to a fairly good consensus that anyone who sees our face and sees what we can do has to die to keep it a secret. So I'd say that, even going by in-character and no input from /tg/, she would have thought to conceal herself, especially since we know that vampire telepathy can work from several meters away, thus giving us many place to hide while giving him the order.

>>7875966

SUMMON FAELINGS.
BRING THEM WITH US.
HAVE US MAKE A MUTUAL NO-KILL PACT WITH BF AND PARTY.

>>7876080
BETTER IDEA. IN ADDITION TO NON-AGGRESSION, HE HAS TO MARRY US. ORIGINAL PRIMARY GOAL ACCOMPLISHED.

>>7875966
Limit his nonviolence to when we are nonviolent in return. He can fight back if we attack him, but he cannot initiate violence.

>>7876080
Hey, I don't want to enter a pact with anyone, and even less with a compelled servant. Only the boyfriend, and maybe his party, should make that pact.
We don't have any reason to hurt them.

>>7876125
inb4 a dozen posts telling UM to attack him anyway.

>>7876125
>>7876117
>>7876080
I am posting in this thread before "faelings can't make that sort of pact."

>>7876125
Wat
Why would we want him to fight back, if we want to attack ?

>>7876182
So he accepts the damned pact in the first place, duh.

>>7876158

The party is not going to go for a one-way pact.
Would you?
No.
(And if you would, Darwin kills you.)

>>7876117
Not a boytoy I said.

>>7876068
Inefficient.

>>7876189
>>7876192
If he doesn't want to enter the pact, that means he plans to hurt us. No need to stay here then, we'll get back to him when we'd actually stand a chance against his party.
Either he trusts us, or we don't. And in this case, this relationship in on hold.

>>7876195
Where in the post that I responded to did you imply anything about boy-toys, either for or against? Also, isn't that the term for a man who is the sexual pet of a woman, and not the other way around?

>>7876270
Hay, I like being the sexual pet of a woman.

>>7876246
>If he won't enter a pact that would allow us to kill him without him being able to fight back then he must be planning to attack us!

I see a flaw in your logic.

>>7876203
Yet adequate.

I think the best idea is to lie to him and tell him we got transformed against our will and that we were scared of what he'd think.

>>7876246
>If he doesn't want to enter the pact, that means he plans to hurt us
No, it means we can kill him and he can't do anything about it.

>>7876296
Um, not that I'm against that, but that sounds an awful lot like what actually happened. So it wouldn't really be a lie.

>>7876296

Second.

Truth, though perhaps not the whole truth; but we should try not to outright lie. And we make plans to escape, yes; but no plans for anything more. Either we get a peaceful resolution or we improvise in the moment; but we don't want to have an actual plan to betray him or anything.

>>7876293
>Implying liquor guarantees memory loss.
>Implying someone low on blood volume won't incur fatal liver damage.

>>7876337

He probably doesn't even know that we've been out slaughtering.
We could simply tell him the truth, omitting the slaughter.
(After faeling pact.)

If he tries to CLEAVE AND SMITE, we leave.

>>7876285
>>7876300
We've got no reason to attack him. If he doesn't understand that, he's bound to be a serious threat, and certainly can't be our boyfriend. We might as well leave immediately..

>>7876313
Not the guy you're replying to, but it doesn't need to erase their memory. Just be enough so that they're not going to be taken seriously. "You say that a woman came to you, gave you lots of strong beer, and then drained your blood? Right, well the getting drunk part I can believe."

Then it's just a matter of hiding the bite marks.

>>7876337
Maybe we could ask our imp if he could make some teargas, or something like it. It would definitely help us flee if things should go sour, being undead and all.

Also, Blade might prove to be useful. Send him as well.

>>7876362
Right, but wouldn't you be a bit wary if a vampire asked you to sign a pact that would prevent you from defending yourself at a meeting between the two of you, alone, with no one around to help?

As >>7876192 said, if you're stupid enough to do that then you deserve to die from your stupidity.

>>7876362
Except for about a half dozen people last thread saying that we should ambush and kill him.

>>7876368

They may well take it seriously if they know vampires exist.
And if multiple people report the same thing.
And if all the money in the tavern is gone.
And if the GM wants us to suffer.

>>7876428

I believe seeing him at all now is a mistake.
Really girl, get over the penis.

We should have arranged a meeting when we were at least remotely powerful enough to defeat the party. (Which is what most of everyone was saying, especially the Neutral and Kill Everyone players.)
But we didn't really have a choice in the matter, now did we?

>>7876451

Is a good quest, deserves the discussion.

And the GM is preparing his elaborate Rocks Fall post, give him time.

>>7876436
>And if all the money in the tavern is gone.

What? I was meaning to get him drunk, steer him out side into an ally or something, face him away from us and then drink a bit. Where does robbing the tavern come into this?

And they might not take it seriously if we find a way to conceal the bite marks; magic perhaps? We could restrict ourselves to only 1-2 people a week, which should help keep from arousing suspicion, especially if we do it in other villages/towns as well so that it doesn't happen too much at any one place.

On the topic of railroading, auto-destructiveness, my making shit up, and so forth, I'll just say that no one is perfect, but I'm trying my best to be a good GM. I won't deny that I've made life more difficult than it had to be for the main character on more than one occasion through any of several methods at my disposal as the writer here, but I did so with the best of intentions and feel that it's been reasonably successful. We can argue the point in more detail once the thread is over, if you wish to. For now, I'd appreciate it if you'd focus on the game rather than the metagame.

>>7875816 >>7875822 >>7875966
You turn and run for the city, the ground flying by beneath your powerful strides. It takes more than an hour to get home, even so. Upon arrival you call the faelings to you.

"Tomorrow, I will be meeting with someone very important to me- and old lover of mine. I suspect that he might try to destroy me for what I've become, and he is one of the greatest warriors I know of; there's no way I can defeat him. If I send one of you to the meeting place ahead of me, can you get him to agree not to harm me if I do not harm him, and see that he keeps his word for our meeting?"

The faelings glance at one another, then Adept Vaesh nods. "We can attempt that if you wish, although if he does not agree we cannot force him to it. If he genuinely wishes to see you destroyed, I doubt he will unless he knows nothing at all of our kind."

You frown. You don't think that your ex-boyfriend knew much about magic, but you're not sure- adventurers pick up all kinds of information, don't they? For all you know, at some point he fought and killed a fae menace somewhere and is practically an expert. "Still, it's worth a try. Do you have any other ideas?"

>>7876419
Not if I trust the other one. And anyway, if he knows we're a vampire (his answer at the inn sounded as not), he's probably coming covered with garlic and stuff.

And I don't want to be the girlfriend of a guy who kill liches and doesn't afraid of anything, if he doesn't trust me. Or we'll be comdemned to stay in that pact until death, and that's not what I want, especially since I'll soon lose control over the faelings.

They murmur to one another briefly for a moment, then turn back to you. "Lady, if you are willing to give permission, we might be able to arrange a deception with one of your prisoners. Between our illusions, the substances of your sprite to addle her mind, and your powers of command, you may be able to deceive this man into striking her down and thinking his task done unless his powers of perception are great."


You blink. That... is precisely the kind of callous, underhanded, and magic-reliant trick that the fae you've read about specialize in. You tell them you'll think on it and wave them away.


What if you die tomorrow? It's a real possibility, even if you're trying your best to avoid it. You pace back and forth. All your bound servants would disappear, and it's not as though you can count on Sarai or Bryden to do anything on your behalf. That leaves Sheryl. She's been a much better agent for you than you originally expected... is it unreasonable to see to her welfare, should things go poorly? There's no reason to bring her tomorrow- she'd be a liability in any conflict, and you doubt that her presence would sway any sentiments to your side, since apparently vampires can bend minds to their side. Someone disposed against you would simply assume that she's been warped into a cultist by your unholy powers.

>>7876487
Almost guaranteed, if we did that, UM would have the Vamp Lord beat us more so we couldn't move until we ate someone.

Although! We should have just had the Imp and spirits steal babies constantly.

That settles it, then. If you're destroyed, she gets everything. You carefully write out a note to her, explaining that should you not return everything yours is hers to dispose of as she sees fit, and identifying the various magical things in your possession- most relevantly the lesser summoning circle and the greater summoning circle diagram, each of which is worth a small fortune.


That complete, the night stretches before you. You've got perhaps six hours before dawn, enough to summon another couple creatures if you wish to do so. There is also time to make plans and issue them to any of your servants, before telling them to arrange to meet you outside that town tomorrow after dusk.

What will you do?

>>7876475
I was actually hoping for hot vampire loving with Sheryl. The boyfriend just complicates things, but it seems UM wanted to end the quest anyway, so it's not like we had much of a choice.

>>7876503
>>7876495
We should probably leave the deception thing until we definitely know his intentions towards us. We should leave it alone until we know whether he accepts the pact or not.

>>7876503
>>7876517

Well, if we're that worried, let's just take Sheryl and leave the city.

Sod this will bit, even though you were clearly setting up for it with the 'teaching Sheryl how to be a noble pact.'

PSYCHIC FLASH:

OUR CHARACTER DIES.
WE BEGIN PLAYING AS SHERYL.

>>7876564
We're not worried, just cautious.

Only if he declines the pact should we start to worry.

>>7876575

Heh, this is it, isn't it?

Sheryl has enough magic books and a circle now to pick up where we left off.

This was UM's Just As Planned.

>>7876517
Have we ordered the earth spirit and ranger sprite to star working on the escape tunnels and hiding them yet? If no, do it now. If yes, do nothing. Say no to crazy Fae trickery.

Oh, and we should probably either free or kill the two prisoners. If we die, no reason to let them starve to death. If we live, well, we'll be running from a group of high level adventurers; we'll have bigger things to worry about than a couple of people talking about how they were kidnapped.

>>7876517
Is the animated armor fast ? He should be there for the meeting, so send him now if he can't just follow us.

Ask the mimir about any kind of servant that could slow the fighter. Can Mobuion or Eater make forcefield walls ? Can anything we could bind ? Ask the intelligent servants if they've got ideas.

Also, i'm not opposed to the fae's plan. Let's bring the girl to the tunnels. We should not let the boyfriend approach at hearing's distance of her until we know if he refused the pact or not.

>>7876594
>If we live, well, we'll be running from a group of high level adventurers; we'll have bigger things to worry about than a couple of people talking about how they were kidnapped.
Or we'll be happily married. In which case it will be a pretty big problem.

>>7876594
We'll go eat the boy just before going to the meeting.

>>7876594

We're not going to die, I refuse! We keep them there.

We could tell the Fae to bind the prisoners to silence in exchange for letting them go. That's the kind of bargain they do right?

Or we could just eat them and feed their bodies to the cube. I really think we should get some use out of that cube at least once.

SUMMON FAELINGS.

ifthepactfails.jpg

ILLUSION FESTIVAL.

>>7876642
Wow, I never really considered the possibility that a happy marriage ending was still possible. Only thing I can say to that is that neither of them have seen our face except for the boy who with a little luck has forgotten and won't be able to pick us out from a lineup or tell them anything about us. We can seal the cave behind us so that no one believes that they were actually held there.

And if we do get Married Good End, then we'll probably go back to our hometown whith is hundreds of miles from here, so any vampire scare in the city won't reach us.

>>7876687
We could use a shot of blood before this thing.

>>7876642
If we live, we'll send the imp take care of them.

>>7876690
It's been eating their body waste for the last day or two. That use enough for you?

>>7876690

Why didn't we just capture people and have the Fae bind them to our service in exchange for freedom?

>>7876739
Because we didn't know that the fae could do that.

>>7876725
Best. Toilet. EVER.

HAY!

Bargaining Chip:
If the BF tries to kill us, we say that if we die, those other two starve to death.

Only in the case that he actually tries swinging a sword at us.

>>7876739

We only just recently learned they could do that.

And serving us != freedom.

We should tie up all the loose ends though, one way or the other.

>>7876725

No damnit! We wanted to summon the cube for corpse disposal! We should feed it at least a couple of corpses!

>>7876762
Better idea: if he tries to kill us, we run instead of wasting time talking about what could happen. If it comes to the point where he attacks us without us provoking him first then he's probably at the point where he won't believe us.

>>7876690

We tell one of out servants that we can trust to free them if we don't come back. Killing now just for the heck of it is not what we want, regardless of what happens at the meeting. If we come back from the meeting alive, we can decide what to do with them later.

>>7876762
That might work, but that will destroy any further chance of happy end. I say we do that only if we can't escape.

>>7876793
Kill what's her face, the one that made the pact without our permission (that mind-raping bitch) and feed her to it. Happy NOW?

WHY THE HELL ARE WE EVEN GOING TO THIS DEATH TRAP?

>>7876831

Plus, our boyfriends a hero.

We go in for that kind of thing he will wind up hunting us down.

>>7876871
Because we love him.

>>7876888

I LOVE STARS IN THE NIGHT SKY.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN I WANT TO HUG THEM PERSONALLY.

>>7876814
Servants won't serve a dead master.

>>7876900
Different kind of love.

Also because this quest has kind of gotten less exciting lately and been winding down. Now that we've embraced the fact that we're a vampire and a monster, if we just go with that the rest will be so simple and easy that it provides no challenge or character development and will be boring. So we do this which stirs things up and provides a good climax for the story.

>>7876871
>>7876900
I'm concurring all over the place. Why are we even going?
Have the Fae make the pact, and bear the message: "We are under the control of a vampire lord, and cannot meet you, we will work to subvert him for you."

>>7876907
They already do. We are already dead.

>>7876871

Because this is what we've been working for all this time. This is what we wanted, to be such a powerful sorceress that our boyfriend would be forced to pay attention to us. This is what all the pain, all the death, all the blood was for.

>>7876973
That's not true. We're the opposite of dead. We're undead.

>>7876814
Inebriate our prisoners, have the imp incapacitate them, and dump them (seperately) somewhere close to the city.
We don't need to be unnecessarily evil at this point.

>>7876984

He doesn't even know we're a sorceress, lol. That will be UM's cliche plot end: "You became an evil sorceress for me? I had no idea, I just wanted to save you"

>>7876973

perma-dead

we should at least dress up and wear make up just for old time sakes :(

>>7876964

NO IT ISN'T A DIFFERENT KIND OF LOVE.
HOW DARE YOU PRESUME TO KNOW THE NATURE OR DEPTH OF MY LOVE, YOU FAGGOT.

>>7877026
You would go to all this length, becoming a soulless monster and killing and suffering and binding others to your will, just to gain the attention of the stars, then?

AND GODDAMNIT STOP THAT

>>7877017

YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I WOULD DO FOR THE STARS' ETERNAL BEAUTY.
THERE IS NO SOUL AND NO MONSTER, ONLY PASSION AND PURITY.

>>7877012
The imp won't do that if we're dead, and if we live it's a bad idea.

>>7877014
Either way, we got his attention, which is what the sorceress thing was all about anyway.

No. There is no going back, because you weren't there. You were NEVER there. You were there for so many other people, but you were never there for me.

When you were off questing and adventuring, I was left alone because you weren't there.

When I became angry, or sad, or frustrated, I didn't have you to comfort me because you weren't there.

When a crisis happened at home, I had to deal with it myself because you were never there.

When I was attacked by a vampire, I was taken and turned because you weren't there.

When I awoke in terror and fear and hunger, and realized what I had become, you weren't there.

When I was TORTURED for DAYS for her SICK amusement, I screamed your name to the skies for rescue and YOU WEREN'T THERE!

When I fought back, I did it alone because you weren't there.

When my entire existence became fear and pain and death and blood, YOU weren't there!

Even if you can 'fix' what I am now, what your neglect has done no power in the world can fix.

BECAUSE YOU WEREN'T THERE FOR ME. YOU WERE NEVER THERE FOR ME.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND ANY OF THIS?

YOU

WEREN'T

THERE

>>7877081

*orgasm*

And then we break down crying into his arms.

JUST AS PLANNED

>>7877081
AND NOW THAT I FINALLY HAVE THE CHANCE TO BE WITH YOU SO THAT YOU WILL BE THERE FOR ME, I'M GOING TO BREAK UP WITH YOU AND THROW THAT AWAY. WHAT NOW?

How about no.

>>7877110
And that, mah boi, is EXACTLY why we're going to the meeting.

>>7877081


are you an actual woman?

>>7877081
YOU DON'T KNOW MAN! YOU WEREN'T THERE!

>>7877131
Actually, ignore this, go with this >>7877120

>>7877081
Fuck you.
Fuck you. I never wanted to depend on him. I just wanted cuddles and hot dickings.

We should summon up something big 'n nasty, just in case. It can cover us while we gtfo.

The priest will probably be the biggest threat, calling for our destruction no matter what. We might be able to talk down our boyfriend.

Also, where the hell is the Lord in all this? He saved Sarai when she almost killed herself, wouldn't he intervene to save an up and coming sorceress-bride?

>>7877131
Nonono, we're guilt-tripping him into BEING THERE.

All this happened because HE WASN'T THERE. He's bound to feel SOMETHING over that!

>>7877114

Yes! Yes! A blaze of glory.
A flare so bright that a new GM will see it.
Real stories never end.

>>7877110
THEN YOUR LOVE IS DIFFERENT THAN HERS, THEREFOR PROVING MY INITIAL POINT.

>>7877098
In that case, I would prefer if we could summon the B Company, 2nd Battalion, 24th Regiment of Foot.

GODDAMNIT UM

WHERE ARE YOU?

>>7877166

IT'S A ROMANTIC LOVE. NOT A DIFFERENT KIND.
I JUST HANDLE IT INFINITELY BETTER.

We've got our new spell. Do we have the time to build the greater circle or not?

If we can, summon something huge. A balor or pit fiend. We can use it as backup.

If not, use our regular circle and our new spell to summon the most powerful thing we can reliably bind to us. We may need to fight our way out of this and I don't want to end up dead.

>>7877158
>>7877144

>>7877174
"You bastard..."

>>7877136
Nah. I have a habit of waking up in the middle of the night with stuff in my head. Usually it's love poems for my fiancee, (lolsappy) but about two nights ago I went to sleep thinking about VampQuest. I got up two hours later with that^^ screaming in my head.

>>7877189
HE'S DEAD! BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAA!
WE'VE WON, /TG/.
WE WILL GIVE OUR HEROINE A CHANCE AT HAPPINESS.
A CHANCE TO MOVE ON WITH HER EXISTENCE!

PUSSY. IF YOU ARE NOT WILLING TO DIE FOR THE ONE YOU LOVE THEN IT IS NO LOVE AT ALL. FOR ONLY WITH BOTH OF YOU DEAD CAN YOU TRULY BEGIN TO LIVE.

do you fucking know what you've done? you've killed UM?! THEN THE KATANA IMP GUY WILL TAKE OVER

>>7877206

>>7877196
No we don't have time to build it.

>>7877231

NO! NO!
I WILL TAKE OVER.
I CAN FEEL MYSELF ASCENDING.
WE WILL HAVE BEAUTY AND LOVE IN THIS WORLD.

>>7877196
We haven't got the materials.

I always like the idea that we're supposed to represent our characters internal monologue. It's much more fun to imagine her as someone who has actually been driven completely insane, but is just barely managing to hold it together, in spite of all the voices screaming in her head.

So I'm going to suggest we break down completely when we meet our boyfriend, babbling hysterically with wild swings between anger, bloodlust, self pity, regular lust, love and hate.

>>7877216


Lich Quest?

>>7877081
This is good. I like this.

When we meet, try to get a conversation going. That'll buy us time to humanize ourself. Use this post to put the onus for everything on him. With him on the defensive, we have a better chance of survival.

If shit hits the fan, have our minions cover our retreat while we gtfo.

We've got some time. Summon some fighty creatures. A meatshield, something with range, etc. We can't risk ourselves in battle.

>>7877255
>WE WILL HAVE BEAUTY AND LOVE IN THIS WORLD.

Awesome. But maybe we should give UM another hour, just in case, before you start.

>>7876564
An impulse strikes you. You could just drop this whole idea, throw the idea of making a clean break with your boyfriend out, and leave the city. Take a ship, bring Sheryl and your servants, and go across the ocean to a different place. It wouldn't really solve your problem- adventurers are nothing if not tenacious; more tales than you can count have them spending years chasing a single villain- but it might at least buy you enough time to grow stronger, until maybe you'll be able to defeat your former lover. But it would also cast aside any chance you have of finishing this without his being certain of the need to destroy you; you've promised to meet him, and abandoning it would likely be perceived as betrayal even if you make an excuse. You're not quite ready to make that move. He still doesn't know where you live in Itonia- you should have time to flee if you escape the meeting tomorrow. And no human can run as fast as you, right?

>>7876594 >>7876634 >>7876720
With the faelings' plan spinning through your mind, your steps lead you to the cave. The two humans you captured are sleeping in their crude cells under the watch of the warling, Blade. For a long moment, you gaze at them as their chests gently rise and fall in the darkness, hearing the tantalizing beating of their hearts. You should probably eat before tomorrow, you think. You'll need your strength.

>>7877229

YOU'RE THE COWARD. WANTING TO DIE FOR YOUR LOVER.
NO. I LIVE FOR MY LOVE. MY PASSION ETERNAL.
ONLY THEN WILL THE STARS SHINE THEIR BLISS ON ME.

>>7877244
It happens. Like you go to bed juuust after reading it, so thats the freshest thing your mind has to scramble into a dream, so...yeah.

But... maybe you should just set them loose. If you die, they'll just starve to death in the wilderness. You could have the faelings pact them never to speak of what happened, and know that they'd abide by it. Or-

-no, you'll put off this decision. You don't want to use the faelings' plan unless you have to, but practicality demands that you be ready. You lift up the slab of stone holding their cell closed and command the woman up, then pull her gently out, stilling her struggles as she wakes with quiet whispers of compulsion. Then you turn to the warling with words and some mental images. "Take this woman here, and see that she does not depart." As the woman doesn't seem inclined to move with the metallic creature, you whisper to her, "If you don't do as I say, I'll just kill you now. If you do and everything goes well, I won't ever kill you." She whimpers a bit and begins to move.

The man you leave shut up in the cave. Tomorrow, before you head to the meeting, you'll stop by and either drain him of his blood or set him free; you don't know which yet.

Your options are still open in that respect, at least.

>>7877247
>>7877264
Damn.

Summon the nastiest thing we can.

OH WAIT! Don't we have that gelatinous cube? Can we dig a good ol' pit trap and use it to cover our retreat? It'd definitely buy us time and get rid of any holy weaponry they have.

Since you all seem be arguing, I'll clarify my contribution. I never saw it as guilt tripping the hero or breaking up with him. I saw it as a rush of emotion and trauma being poured out. I mean, come on. The shit we've done? That's happened to us? It's an emotional cyst, and it needs draining.

>>7876634
Back to the mansion, the night leaking away. You move downstairs and speak with your mimir, listening to it chatter the minutes endlessly away and trying to keep it on the topic of creatures which might prove useful to you. Anything which might have the ability to make barriers or impediments which would buy you time to get away, mostly. Eventually, you conclude that your best bet is probably more spellrats- you've already got illusionists in the faelings, and working together several spellrats will become powerful enough to create a sizable mist, patch of slick ground, or even a solid barrier on your behalf. They could probably match most battlemages for skill, actually. You manage to call up four more of them as the night flits away.

Before retiring to bed, you tell all your summoned creatures to be hidden around the town by dusk tomorrow so that they will be there to aid you. There's no point in leaving any here, where they will vanish should you die and be able to carry out any final tasks in any case.

With that, you retire to your coffin, feeling tense and worried about the morrow.

***

The new night has fallen. The stars are cold and bright in the sky above you, and you have decisions to make. You grab what magic items you think might be helpful, just in case, and walk to the cave, where your prisoner awaits. You should either kill or free him before you leave, you think... and you're at least a little hungry.

What will you do?

>>7877287
ETERNAL? BAH. YOU WILL NOT LIVE FOREVER. BUT THE STARS, THEY WILL LAST FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS AFTER YOU ARE GONE, IF NOT LONGER. WOULD YOU LEAVE THEM? IF YOU TRULY LOVED THEM, YOU WOULD KILL THEM AND THEN YOURSELF, SO THAT YOU COULD BOTH BE TOGETHER FOREVER.

>>7877315
Do we know his answer to the pact yet?

kill the prisoner. I give up. the way we're playing this we're fucking goners.

>>7877315
Let him live.

We can at least begin to atone for what we have done in the name of necessity.

>>7877297
I'm really harping on summoning some minions that can take a few hits. There are three possibilities.

A: He gets all sobby, apologizes, and invites us to adventure with him. We get to be an awesome duo, although the party can't use good-aligned clerics or paladins.

B: He gets all sobby, apologizes, and says goodbye forever. We part ways and never see eachother again.

C: Cleave and Smite.

We need to be prepared for cleave and smite. That means having sword-fodder to get between us and him. We have 0 chance of holding up against someone who offed a lich.

>>7877326

>IMPLYING A MATRIOSHKA BRAIN ISN'T LOVE ETERNAL.

>>7877301
No, because it attacks anything that gets close to it including us and moves fucking slow.

>>7877350
>although the party can't use good-aligned clerics or paladins.
We could always be Neutral, or even Good. We can still atone.

>>7877350
>>He gets all sobby, apologizes, and Cleaves and Smites.

Fixed

Let both of the prisoners go. There's no need to keep the guy around, at the very least. Although I would like to have them bound to silence so that we don't get fucked if we survive.

>>7877372

You mean... become Angel?!

UM doesn't like happy endings.

The best we're getting is a pile of ashes with the sun-prism playing its music through the day.

>>7877350
Damn, too late.


I say we let him live. We could use it as an argument for our humanity: Imprisoning a man, but overcoming our base urge to act like a good person.

And since we're not starving, it probably wouldn't do us any good anyways.

>>7877315

We can't Fae-bind him into staying silent now, since we don't have any fae.

I'd say headklonk him, tie his arms and legs and leave the door ajar.

If we live, we might be able to get back to him before he wakes up and gets himself loose.

If we die, well he'll wake up and go free.

>>7877315
Have the imp KO him with the poison then drag him out and put him near the road. He has no bite mark, so no fear about a vamp scare. Have the EE cover the entrance to the cave completely so no one can tell that there's anything there.

Feed on an animal or something for the hunger. If we are going to die, no need to kill someone.

>>7877330
No we don't because they're not going to offer it until he comes out to meet us tonight.

>>7877403
>sun prism

If he lets us leave alive, give it to the bf.

"A gift to remember me by. While it plays, I am the sweet, silent girl you once knew."

>>7877315
The boy suffered enough. Let's kill him. Setting him free, compelled to not reveal the truth, would be cruel after all we've done to him.

SOUNDS LIKE SOMEONE NEVER READ SUICIDE PACT QUEST. DON'T YOU SEE, IT IS TOO LATE. IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED.

Lets just drain one of our summons instead, or we could summon something quickly, like a cherub or some shit, and eat that. Depending on how the meeting goes, when we get back we can either embrace the dark side and drain the man or set him free.

>>7877477

I'M NOT A SCI-FI LESBIAN, AND THERE IS NO NEXT LIFE.

Let's kill him, we need his blood anyway.

He doesn't even know where the cave is located, or that we're a vampire.

Eat the boy, go to one of the places prepared. Have the fastest of our servants tell us how did the pact go.

>>7877622

THEY'RE RADIANT SPHERES OF FUSING PLASMA.
I DON'T NEED TO IMAGINE THAT THEY'RE ANYTHING ELSE TO LOVE THEM DEEPLY.

>>7877622

I remember a Frank Herbert novel about that. The stars housed godlike telepathic beings, who occasionally fell in love with humans. IIRC The experience of having a telepathic star fall in love with you was so insanely pleasurable that it tended to drive people insane.

Ok. Here's the strategy.

We have:
2 nature sprites
1 earth elemental
1 warrior-armor-thing
1 useless talking skull
2 fae
1 assassin imp
1 air elemental
Many spellrats

Sprites and earth elemental morph the meeting area to tactically favor us, and create cover for our other minions. Assassin imp lies in conjured bushes, ready to gank bf with coma-poison. Warrior thing stands in front of us to take hits. Fae do illusion things to cover our retreat if need be. Spellrats make sure the boyfriend gets slippery feet and can't stand up. Also run countermagic in case he's got any. Air elemental pushes boyfriend away from us with wind resistance if we need to flee.

This setup gives us the best chance to gtfo and run.

>>7877603
The boy isn't drunk, took a shower and is still visibly traumatised by the tortures he suffered at the hands of an extremely fast and strong woman he tried to rape, who also happens to have mindaltering power and magical servants.
Curiously, there's a strong rumor about a slasher girl psycopath that kill groups of thugs in this neighbourhood. And people have been mindraped occasionnally in the same parts.
Also, a sorcerer has stolen a costly stone table and blackmailed a silversmith to make a summoning circle.

WELL THEN IT WOULD SEEM THAT WE ARE AT AN IMPASSE. I WILL HAVE TO AGREE TO DISAGREE AT THIS POINT, SINCE I DO NOT SHARE YOUR FEELING IN THIS MATTER.

>>7877686
It is really no fun to play this game with you.

>>7877686

I suppose you believe fantastic tales from drunkards?

>>7877704
Maybe not, but why should he stop talking the day after ?

>>7877717

THAT'S IT, CONCEDE DEFEAT.
YOU KNOW THAT A WONDROUS LOVE CAN BE HAD WITHOUT WILLFUL ARBITRARY SELF DESTRUCTION.

TRUE LOVE IS OF UNDERSTANDING AND CURIOSITY, NOT EMOTIONAL FAGGOTRY.

>>7877686
>The boy isn't drunk, took a shower and is still visibly traumatised by the tortures he suffered at the hands of an extremely fast and strong woman he tried to rape
"Boy's prolly makin' tha whole thing up 'cause he's butthurt that he got beat up by lass he tried to rape."

>>7877753
If vampires and sorcerers *actually do exist,* then yes.

>>7877761
OF COURSE I UNDERSTAND THAT. BUT WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT YOUR SUGGESTION WAS TO RUN AWAY AND SEVER TIES WITH HIM. HOW IS NOT LOVING HIM LOVING HIM?

>>7877787
>>7877753
Any skilled investigator will be tipped of, and keep his eyes open after that.

>>7877761
Aha! Then you have just admitted defeat, because our love is ALL emotional faggotry!

>>7877753
I do if it offers an explanation to how my minions got killed and thus offered an opportunity for the other bosses to start a gang war. Then i'll go see my contacts in the nobles side of town and have the guard help me.

>>7877787
That same lass that killed dozens of other boys ?

>>7877797

I SUGGESTED THAT WE DON'T MEET HIM IN PERSON UNTIL WE KNOW WE WILL BE SAFE.
FAILING THAT, THERE ARE OTHER SODDING MEN OUT THERE.

>>7877686
>and is still visibly traumatised by the tortures he suffered at the hands of an extremely fast and strong woman he tried to rape
That sounds an awful lot like he tried to get frisky with an angry adventurer, who then let out a little steam on him.

>>7877821
>>7877800
>>7877789
>>7877787
Does it even matter if they believe him? We're either going to be dead, on the run, or back home with our bf (unlikely, but I figured I might as well include it).

>>7877856
BUT THAT WAS WHAT WE'RE DOING ANYWAY.

>>7877867

Unless the master shows up and knocks all our plans for 6.

>>7877867
Not really, no.

Consensus is: LET THE BOY GO

...BUT SOAK HIM IN ALCOHOL ANYWAY. RAPIST PRICK.

>>7877877
Then we've got a powerful adventuring party on our side and someone to blame everything on!

>>7877872

NO IT ISN'T, THIS IS A CLEAVE AND SMITE DEATH TRAP.
LEVEL THREE SUMMONER AGAINST LEVEL FIFTEEN WARRIOR AND HIS ENTIRE PARTY.

>>7877867
We might split peacefully. And I certainly don't want to anger bryden as a goodbye. Nor do I want my boyfriend to learn about what happened in this town.

We meet the boyfriend personally. No illusions. It'll be us and him. He wants to speak.

Play up the fact that it is his neglect that got us here, and that we have had to fight hard to survive. Offer that he doesn't have to kill us, that we could still be together in some fashion. After all, we could make a great party member.

Failing that, do >>7877662

>>7877467 >>7877448 >>7877429
>>7877423 >>7877411 >>7877334
It doesn't take you long to decide. You could eat him, maybe be a bit stronger before seeing your boyfriend, but screw it; the man- hell, the boy- has suffered enough. It's not like he really knows what you look like, beyond seeing you for a mere few seconds days ago; you've done everything in the darkness of the cave since then. He knows about your mind-control powers, but aside from that... it doesn't seem particularly likely that he'll be causing a vampire scare on his own. You haul the slab out of the way, then speak to him. "You can go. I don't really care."

With that, you turn and leave. It'll probably take him all night to find his way out of the cave, and you'll have the entrance moved afterward if you live.

You run through the darkness, wondering what you'll say and do. You snatch a few animals as you run, quickly sating your hunger without slowing you down too much, and leave a trail of small corpses behind you. The bindings on your summons tug you forward, and soon you are standing in the wilderness near town, with your five spellrats, assassin imp, two sprites, two faelings, three earth spirits, air spirit, apprentice shade, and warling standing flanking you. Adept Lirran is even holding your mimir. It's quite the force, you muse. He'll never be expecting this.

>>7877889
NO IT'S NOT THE CONSENSUS.

>>7877903
There's going to be no peaceful split. This is BAD END. Whatever happens, it's over. And entirely too soon.

>>7877899
We're doing the pact thing, remember?

If he says lolno, we go with the fae's plan.

>>7877907
This.

>>7877916
DID HE ACCEPT THE PACT?

Mobuion speaks for your summons. [The woman is bound outside one of the tunnel exits. The earth spirits can guide you to the entrances if it should prove necessary; they are all easy to access. The man with whom you wish to meet waits on the road leading into town, with several lanterns lighting the area around him. We have not approached.]

You take a breath. This is it. "Thank you. Adept Vaesh, if you would?"

The faelings gives a small bow and moves out of the woods. You watch her as she moves to the road, creeping forward so that you can keep her in sight, and soon notice your former lover, pacing back and forth in his lanterns' light.

He is as handsome as you remember. Your vampiric vision makes you details of his figure that once you would have had to be beside him to see. His armor and weapons are lovingly maintained; he used to tell you the stories about each of them, which you'd put up with just because he was spending time with you. You stare at him as he spins and draws his sword when the faeling approaches, holding her hands out in a gesture of peace, although one of them holds her staff as ever.

>>7877922
BITCHES DON'T KNOW 'BOUT MY MAJORITY CONSENSUS.

>>7877945
UM ISN'T DOING THE PACT.
UM WANT'S A FIERY DEATH.

Words are exchanged, and though you cannot make them out, your ex-boyfriend sounds agitated and angry. He looks wonderful even as he paces, but you realize in a moment of horror that his most attractive feature is the line of his neck, where you can just make our a pulsing artery. You close your eyes and look at the faeling instead. It feels terrible to look at your ex that way. Eventually, Adept Vaesh bows and runs off.

She returns to you. "He has agreed not to do harm to you unless you harm him, Lady... though he was not pleased about it. I should also note that I could not get him to speak for his allies, if any, though likewise I made no such promises on your part. That is the most common way to keep such a promise."

Well, that's done. This is probably as good a setup as you're going to get. All that's left is to choose your approach... what feelings and words to use to break off your romance or try to get him to still love you.

What should you do now?

>>7877961

Dig a hole.

>>7877961
Move servants into position to back you up, then walk out slowly. Prepare to dodge fireballs.

>>7877961

Walk slowly towards him.

"You know I had a week to think about this. I really should have come up with a good opening line."

>>7877961
These

>>7877081
>>7877120

>>7877961
Remember how you've left traps everywhere, so that if they chase you they're delayed.

>>7877961
He agreed. Yeah. Send the imp to the girl, he is to bring her to another town and tell her to never say a thing about us, nor return to itonia, and that tomorrow we'll get her some money so she can do this comfortably.

Wait, how far from the town is he? If he's too close or in an area too open for our likings, I think we should reveal ourselves and then wait for him to come to us.

>>7878026
Yeah, we should let him come to us. Separate him from his party members a bit, so we have a little warning if they attack.

>>7877961
Approach him. Remain in the dark.

"I remember how I would often sit in our home, alone, with nothing to do but simple gardening and chores. My every day was filled with longing for you, and the few times you returned were more important to me than any holy day. You were all I wanted in this life, but I could have you only so rarely."

"Is it any wonder then, why I left? I sought some way to gain your attention, to become something else than the woman back home, the one always there but with no-one there for her. But know that I did not choose this path. That choice was made for me."

"The vampire lord ambushed me and turned me before I knew what had happened. I was brutalized and abused, and I had to learn to protect myself. To survive. What you see before you now, is a woman who has mastered herself."

"Please, remember those days we had together. Please, don't focus on what circumstance and poor choices have wrought. Let us share each other again, and now we can be even more than we once were. I am no fragile girl any more. I could go with you, accompany you. We could be...
together."

Enter the lighted area.

>>7878023
This

>>7878049
>>7878026

Too suspicious. Just walk up to him. I'm not certain how we do it makes much difference.

Tell him our story, ask for help killing the Vamp Lord. Enjoy.

>>7877992
I like this idea to start the conversation with, but letting him come to us is probably the best idea.

How interactive is this conversation going to be? Are we supposed to come up with everything we may want to say right now, so that you can write it out in the same way you've been doing?

>>7878076
We could just stand there, looking at him.

>>7878059
This +1.

NOT THIS >>7877081
We don't want to break down now, and we never wanted to depend on him anyway.

Have the fea lead him, alone, to one of our prepared locations (not the one with the girl). Wait him there.
Then talk.
Tell him that death didn't change anything about your love for him. Tell him your story - mention the lord, don't give names of places or persons.
Say that you've got hopes that you can live the rest of your life without hurting anyone. Say that you've got hopes that you can live the rest of your life with him. Say that you've got hopes that you can live the rest of your life.
Ask for his help.

>>7878059
No, that sounds too much like we're completely nuts.

We're trying to lead into
>>7877081
remember?

>>7878117
And bursting into tears is any better?!

>>7878117
The latter one sounds more sane. The one you suggest is an emotionally-high rant. He's already on nerve's edge, we don't want to surprise him with antics.

>>7878130
It is when you're venting all the pain you've suffered when you became a vampire!

And we're trying to gain his sympathy here - so he doesn't kill us, remember?

>>7878117
The whole "you weren't there for me" thing is a good idea, but the ending is all off I think. At least, that's not what I'm going for.

>>7878130

Can we cry?

Are we physically capable of producing tears now?

I mean it'd suck if we just start weeping blood or diamonds or something like that.

First, do not go to him on the road. We prepared escape roads and defendable spots, it's not to get killed stupidly far from those.
The fae will lead him. His party should stay back. He could defeat all our servants anyway, and we won't attack him, so there's no risk.

>>7878156
At the end
Take deep breath
"All I ask is that...you're there with me. I don't care if I have to follow you to the ends of the earth, I...I love you. I just want us to be....together."

I'd say start with >>7877081
How we proceed depends on his reaction. If we can't get him to at least sympathize with us, this meeting is all for naught.

>>7878168
Yes we can cry, we've done it before. God, what is with people not reading the archives of a quest before posting?

>>7878156
I really don't want to reproach him anything. We're here to get a good ending, not a break up.

>>7878193
If we can't get him to soften up we RUN LIKE FUCK.

>>7878200
Goddamnit, we have to make him see how it was for us! We have to show him that we're still us, just pushed to the very brink of desperation!

>>7878059
I'm still going with this idea. I'm going to wait for the next UM post. Good luck guys.

>>7878182
Nice modification.

After the probably-awkward introduction, I vote for doing >>7877081 only with the emphasis on "I always wanted you to be there... and still do."

>>7878193
I couldn't sympathize with us if we said this. The past is the past. He's got excellent reasons for not being here, and we've got excellent reasons for having done what we did.
Let's move on.
We just want to be together now.

WAIT!

We got vampire mind powers, can we push our memories onto him? Show him rather than tell what we went through?

Get the Adept to tell him where we are. Wait for him. Sit down. When he arrives, stare at him for a while, uncertain, then laugh nervously.

"You know I had a week to think about this. I really should have come up with a good opening line."

>>7878244
Then we'll have altered his mind.

That's going to piss him off.

>>7878220
We don't. We want a lover, not a father. We want his love, not his protection. We want to show him that we're no longer the weak girl waiting for him crying, we're an independant woman in love with him.

>>7878240
>and we've got excellent reasons for having done what we did.
And unless he knows that, he will kill us horribly.

>>7878260
>>7878244
I like the idea, but don't start it off like that. When it comes time to explain in more detail, we can ask his permission to show him our memories. Just showing him what we've seen isn't altering his mind, so if he agrees then it's a perfect way to relate what we've been through and show him how terrible it was.

>>7878275
Yeah but "you weren't there" is the worst excuse we could have found, as a common monster as well as a lover.

>>7878274
If we don't show him that we're human on some level, he'll KILL US!

Anyway, don't go to him on the road unless we're sure he's alone. The party did not agree to the pact, remember ?

>>7878248
This. Its a good way to start off with a lightened mood.

>>7878296
Being an egotistic, inconsequential bitch is certainly not the way. He would kill it. What we need to show is that not only we're human, but we're in control of our life and we want to spend it with him.

So, this >>7878116, or >>7878059 at least.

>>7878306
LOOKS LIKE THAT MEANS HER AND HE DIE TOGETHER.

Yeah. Add it to >>7878341 for me.

No, this:

Sadly.

>>7878374
The entire quest is this song.

>>7878341 here

>>7878366
I find this post mildly humorous because I'm the guy arguing against him.

Anyway, it really depends on the mood of the thing. Depending on how it goes, either suggestion could occur.

>>7878347
And by inconsequential I meant toughtless, inconsiderate, inconsistent. I thought it had the same meaning in english, but seems like I was wrong.

Wait, what page is this on?

>>7878407
Well, seems like you said something sensible too.

>>7878417
Oooooh, right.

Still, if he doesn't like what we're saying we could still chick it at him before we storm off.

>>7878418
Someone archive this.

f5f5f5f5f5f5f5f5

UM, new thread plz? We're autosaging like fuck here!

Autosaging, we need a new thread.

Hurry up UM.

I bet he's trolling us and just letting us talk our way through threads tonight.

>>7878472
There will never be a new thread again, will there?

>>7878374
>>7878352

Unfortunately, unfortunately- THIS is the song that's playing.

I still hope we'll end the quest with this song:

SO UM.

We're pretty much cool with our plan. Continuation plz?

>>7878524
What's our plan again ? I hope it's not we break down and put the blame on him. I'd really like us to have gained something from those monstruous weeks.

>>7878590
In short? We put on our robe and wizard hat.

>>7878599
In long? We don our cape and lift our staff.

This is your time to pay,
This is your judgment day,
We made a sacrifice,
And now we get to take your life.

We shoot without a gun,
We'll take on anyone,
It's really nothing new,
It's just a thing we like to do.

You better get ready to die
Get ready to die
You better get ready to kill
Get ready to kill
You better get ready to run,
Cause here we come
You better get ready to die!

Do you want total war
To see life's will return once more?
Do you want might to prevail
To kick aside the weak and frail?
To smite your foes that they might die
To splatter blood across the sky?

Do you want total war?
Do you want total war?
Yes, you want total war!
Yes, you want total war!

Do you want to rise and kill
To show the world an iron will?
Do you want to stand and fight
To rip asunder this pallid night?
All return the will of man
Let it burn and start again

Do you want total war?
Do you want total war?
Yes, you want total war!
Yes, you want total war!

>>7878609

Commander Shepard certainly has a bloodthirsty vengeance crew.

>>7878590
Start off with
>>7878248
Lead into some small talk, discussing what has happened to you.

From there...I dunno. Maybe
>>7878182
but without the crazy rant.

If he starts acting like a prick, crazy rant.

>>7878059
is inadvisable, since it sounds to...cliche evil vampire. Sounding cliche vampire will allow him to file us away under 'shit to kill' and he will get his pals to shank us.

>>7878609
>>7878628
Vampire: Total War

>>7878666
I'd play it.

>>7878647
If his party members don't agree to let him go off on his own, simply tell them that they're free to join him if they agree to the same terms he has. Don't kill us unless we attack you.

UM.

You should start a new thread, and do this thing more slowly than the rest, so we can redirect you in the middle of the conversation.

>>7878026
He is perhaps a hundred and fifty yards outside the town, on a stone-paved road with fields on either side, filled with the shoots of recently-planted crops. You doubt that anyone in the town can hear you, although they'll certainly be able to see into the lanternlight. It's hardly ideal; you gesture for Vaesh to lead him here. She nods and moves back to him, gesturing for him to follow. He grabs a lantern and begins to walk forward, but after a few dozen feet slows and looks behind him at the town, then stops and begins to talk angrily to your faeling.

Enough. You get up and move for the road. The possibility of other adventurers waiting nearby and planning a trap seems far too great to you, but you ignore that. You came here to talk, and you're not going to let paranoia stand in your way; you'll run to your prepared traps if things do wrong. As you walk towards him, you can easily tell when his eyes pick up your form, a pale shadow of his former lover approaching smoothly through the dark. He stiffens and tightens his grip on his sword; it's almost funny. He's nervous before you, when he's faced dragons and liches without flinching.

You stop walking forward and stand at the edge of the light. His eyes are locked on you, looking stunned, and he takes a step forward. "It's you. You're really here. Until yesterday, I thought for sure-"

>>7878059
You hold up a hand to stop him. You don't really want to hear about how he thought this was all a trick, when you've been living it. "I remember how I would often sit in our home, alone, with nothing to do but simple gardening and chores. My every day was filled with longing for you, and the few times you returned were more important to me than any holy day. You were all I wanted in this life, but I could have you only so rarely." You take a breath. He looks confused. He'd never understood you; you'd just been the person always there, waiting for him to come home, like he was the only person in the world that mattered and you were there to make his life more comfortable.

"So I left. I needed to gain your attention, to become more than the woman back home, the one always there but with no one there for her." You give a sad smile, but too late remember your fangs. He's looking at you with pain and horror; you're losing him.

You continue quickly. "But I didn't choose this path! That choice was made for me. The vampire lord ambushed me and turned me before I knew what had happened. I was brutalized and abused, and I had to learn to protect myself. To survive. What you see before you now, is a woman who has mastered herself."

He is silent for a long moment. When he speaks, his voice is somewhat choked up. "Is that really what you're saying? That now that you're a monster, you've mastered yourself? Do you think so little of the woman I loved?" You can see tears in his eyes.

>>7878727
GODDAMNIT I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN

You don't know what to say. You don't think little of yourself in the past, but you were like a glass sculpture, lovely to look upon but so very weak and fragile! You're more than that now! "No, I don't! Please, remember those days we had together. That's still me, beneath everything else that's happened. Please, don't focus on what circumstance and poor choices have wrought. I'm not..." You can't claim you're not a monster. Even you know that it would be a lie. Still, you press on. "Let's share each other again. We can be even more than we once were. I am no fragile girl any more. I could go with you everywhere, accompany you. We could be together!"


He looks at you. He's wavering, you can see it; he must love the memory of you just as you love the memory of him. "We could... I... I loved you, you know. One of the greatest things that kept me going was always the thought that you were waiting at home to hear about my next adventure, tell me what a wonderful job I'd done and how I was making the world a better place."

You can't help but laugh. You'd have told him something equally loving if he was a baker; it was him that mattered, not his job. You move forward and throw your arms around him, effortlessly moving around his sword point. He doesn't move to stop you. "I missed you so much," you murmur in his ear. "Please, let me stay with you forever."

He's saying something in reply when you're hit by a wave of pain; you jump back in shock. From the town, riding on horseback, come four people, one of whom is holding forth a holy symbol which is glowing brightly with burning divine energy. Adventurers. They must have been watching, and taken your embrace as an attempt to drain him.

Your old lover looks at them, then at you. He doesn't seem to know what to do. Precious moments pass as he stares into your dead eyes before he speaks. "I... I can't... we can't! No! This would never work. Run away, and I'll tell them we don't have to follow you. We're only here because I wanted to be anyway. I'll always remember that I loved you."

You stare at him. That's more than you could ever have expected, more than you dared hope for... but he's still telling you to leave. And his companions are trying to kill you.

What should you do?

>>7878753
Cry.

tell him goodbye and run like hell

>>7878753

"I'll find a way to break this curse. I'll come back to you, Human, and we will make this world better together."

Then leave. Hope he stops them.

>>7878778
Replace human with his name, of course.

We should do exactly what we planned to in case they tried to kill us. Duh.

>>7878778

As a human*

>>7878753
I'll not let go of you ! I'll be here tomorrow, come alone. If not, i'll find you anywhere. We'll be together, my love !

Flee. Have the servants cover our escape. Do not use the girl, use another tunnel.

>>7878778
>>7878793
THISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISTHISFOREVER.
Then we go do it.

>>7878753
Fuck it. Cry and just sit there.

>>7878843
>>7878772
You know what? Lets do this. Best case scenario, he explains everything and everyone is happy. Worst case we die, but it would be meaningless to live on if we can't be with him.

>>7878778

Adding +1.

>>7878859
>>7878843

FUCK YOU.
OUR CHARACTER WAS NEVER LIKE THAT.
WE WILL FIND A WAY TO BE WITH HIM.

>>7878789
We planned many things. I say we escape, and do not use the fae's plan.

But we escape with hope. We can be together. We can be loved.
Let's make this known to the boyfriend. We'll finish this conversation, whatever it takes. But not now. Now, we flee, with the illusions of the fae to cover us.

>>7878772
>>7878843
>>7878859
This. If we're destroyed then so be it - living like this was never the goal, and letting him abandon us is not acceptable.

Just do nothing.

We've had it. This is it. Beneath the mask of strength, beneath the monster, beneath the sorceress, is just a scared, lonely girl.

And that girl can't take any more.

>>7878778

Revising it for clarity:

"I'll find a way to break this curse. I'll come back to you, as a human, and we will make this world better together."

Then leave. Hope he stops them.

>>7878875
+1

>>7878878
>>7878875
What the hell is this, a ninja-samefag? When have we ever gone with this kind of plan?

>>7878875
We'll meet him again ! But living is the only way to do that ! Don't break now when we're so close.

Also, the spellrats should slow the adventurers without hurting them.

It's over.

Staying alive is the only way. We will break the curse.

WE'RE NOT GIVING UP NOW.

If we survive and there's no hope of coming back to him, what will we become? There'll be nothing to hold us back, no reason not to truly become the monster we've struggled against.

Better to die here, together with him at last, after so long, than become...something horrendous.

>>7878878
>>7878890
Stop spamming, guy. The little girl has hope now and she won't fail.

>>7878899

THIS.
Sodding hell.
We didn't go through all that escape plan trouble to just sit there and cry to death.

>>7878883
Concurring. Ignore the sitanddie samefag.

>>7878908
Why should there be no hope ? This meeting couldn't have gone better to give us hope !

He's decided not to cleave and smite. That there is tremendous considering what we are. On the other hand, we can't be with him because his occupation and his friends would never tolerate us.

Flee, and hide. Grow powerful. Usurp the lord. Make the world a better place from the other side.

This is how we can work together. How we can help him.

>>7878927
>"No! This would never work."

>>7878936

EXACTLY.

>>7878908
Plus, we've got the same reasons than before. Vampires just want to have fun, being enslaved by our hunger is not the way. We'll always have the will to live and be happy.

>>7878936
I support this idea, because I really like where it is going.

>>7878897
Hey, >>7878875 here. Not a samefag, but I'm not wanting to give up on this. Figured the best way to do that is hold our ground and hope he can stop his friends.

>>7878944
So what ? how many lovers have said that just before the happy end ? He still loves us, and that's enough.

I say we save the game, then flee a little distance and try to make a stand against the other party members with the help of our summons. DEATH OR GLORY!

Then we reload and do it the proper way - say a short goodbye to the man we once loved and get the fuck out of there.

Look, if we stand our ground...We've done nothing wrong have we? Why the hell should we run? They're supposed to be the good guys, bringers of justice and joy aren't they?

If they just see that nothing wrong has happened...!

UM, do two endings. Lets see which is better, eh?

>>7878977
Dying for our love is abandonning our love. And be the monster you fear. Let's be human : preservation for love. We must endure, we must survive, for he loves us.

Anyway, they're coming with holy symbols and we simply can't hold our ground.
We've just got the choice of what to say for goodbyes.
And I say >>7878798.

>>7879004

We are a vampire. They are adventurers.

>>7878936
This. Then we can have instances where we're both hunting the same scumbag and meet up completely by accident. Then it'll be like those cartoons where the badguy and goodguy team up to beat the really badguy and get all buddy buddy until the next episode.

Except we'll be secretly still buddy buddy in our hearts :3

>>7879023
Concur. That way everyone is happy.

>>7879004
THEY'RE ADVENTURERS, MAN.
Do you only knows what that means ?

>>7879004
>killed many people
>blackmailed silversmith with his son's life
>stole expensive table
>is a vampire
>drank the blood of baby angels

How much more bad things do we need to do?

It's like that faggot completely forgot we freed him from the Vampire Lord's castle.

Call his stupid ass out.

>>7879054
So? He said they were making the world a better place, didn't they?

If they can't handle this, then all they're really capable of is hurting others! That's not making the world better at all, that's just senseless violence!

>>7879033
Dying is not the first choice here, but I don't think running is a good one. If we stand our ground and our boyfriend will protect us, we may have a chance. Also we saved that fucker's friend when he was in the castle, so I think there's some chance of convincing the party.

>>7879085
What has that got to do with us ? We're not here to test them, why do you try to go full retard ?

>>7879085
I think you've really lost grip on the whole situation.

These people charging at us with a flaming holy symbol and weapons drawn are not here to talk. They have no history of attachment to us, nor are they interesting in conversing with undead monstrosities.

I'm not going full retard.

If they are the paragons of justice they claim to be, then they will spare our lives.

That is all.

>>7879108
>IF IF MAY CHANCE
You're choosing to die.
Confrontation is absolutely the worst choice for us.

>>7879139
Ok. They're not, so let's flee.

>>7879079
Then why do you think that by running away and trying again we will eventually earn his love?

>>7879147
Let's meet again in a peaceful manner. It's easy, simple, efficient.

>>7879147
>implying anything is guaranteed

>>7879166
He's pretty much said that he can't be with us, but will remember us. That's as good as we can get tbh. Now's the time to give him a quick kiss (no fangs) and get out of there. Run through our trapped zone and have our summons cover our escape.

>>7879174
And very unlikely.

>>7879181
And then what?

>>7879166
We already have his love. Thus we've got too much to lose.

>>7879181
And what then? Become the Lord's faithful servant? The only reason we've ever held back is because of him! And now he'll never be there for us!

>7878936
this a million times!

Tell him we love him and ask him to search for a cure?

>>7879184
No, it's very likely. We've got servants for go-betweens, and the renewed trust of our love. We're in a better position than when we concluded this meeting. If we stay alive now.

Page six and descending Captain! The thread can't take much more of this!

>>7878936
>>7879055
These. We can be totally tsundere for each other.

The adventurer and his vampiress.

Alternatively, the vampiress and her adventurer. It's like we could run a whole other quest from the bf's viewpoint where the vampiress comes in at certain points and we get all lovey-dovey for each other. Until the rest of the party arrives.

>>7879230
HOLD HER STEADY DAMNIT! SHE CAN HOLD, SHE BLOODY WELL BETTER!

>>7879206
Exactly. What's the point of going and trying to become a lord or whatever and root out crime or whatever >>7878936 is on about?

Say we manage it. Fine. What's the point of doing that if we know that we can't be with him?

>>7879206
We'll be here for him, and we'll show him he can be with us. The lord doesn't care.

>>7879245
The point is to live and have giggles and shit. And try again to live with him, now that we know he wants to.

>>7879240
A fantasy. Look back, there's been far too much realism for that to ever happen.

Its now or never.

This IS the last thread.

If we leave now, there _WILL NEVER BE ANOTHER CHANCE_ to be with him. EVER.

We either run, and leave him forever, or take our chances. If he stands up for us, if he does what is right, then maybe we have a chance. Something definite is better than 'maybe we'll meet again' or 'maybe we'll find a cure'...That stuff is bullshit.

Fuck that.

At this moment, for once in our life, WE SHALL MOVE FOR NO MAN.

>>7879206
>>7879245
Kill the lord, create peace from the shadows. Earn bf's trust and love again.

We have to survive for anything to work. Confronting the party will result in our death.

>>7879245
We can be with him, and living is good (and necessary to be with him). That's all.

>>7879297
You coward.

>>7879293
Bf will be too distraught to help us, and those are his friends btw. The people he's been traveling with for years, spending much more time with than us. He's not going to just forget that and kill them.

If we stay, then we die. We might die romantically, but we'll be dead and that's it. As long as we're alive (technically) then there's hope.

>>7879293
This. This is exactly what I've been trying to say.

inb4 samefag. Not really, some people just have the same opinions.

>>7879293
>Fuck our love and our life, let's get killed.
There will be another chance. Stop metagaming.

>>7879293

Fuck you!
There will always be another thread.
Always another chance at love.

"Run."

Look up at him, showing the detetrmination in our eyes.

"No. I'm sick of running away."

Then just wait for them to come.

>>7879323
You too think that acting out of character for metagame considerations is good ? I don't think so.

>>7879345
We're not throwing our life away. If we give him time, maybe he can convince his adventuring friends that we're savable.

I mean, DAMNIT. If we can't get their help, then we're on our own against the Lord.

Who can simply mindrape us and make us his loyal servant for eternity.

We NEED these people! We need their help!

>>7879315
Living, growing in power and taking revenge on the monster that did this to us is cowardice?

Staying put and being cut down to escape all our problems is cowardice.
