>Titania Glass
>60 Imagination/40 Will
>Friend: King John the Frog

You understand the idea of home. It's a house. One's parents live there. One often leaves it to go to school, or play. One sleeps in it at night.

It is odd, given this knowledge, that you have no memories of living anywhere other than your tower.

Not that your tower is a bad place to live. It has everything you need to stay comfortable, and anything you find it lacks tends to show up in the expansions that continuously appear. Your latest prize is a nice cottage, which the tower seems to be converting to match its aesthetics. It's nothing special, but evicting the owner was satisfying. She's gone now.

King John croaks loudly, his crown shifting on his head a bit as he hops into the pool. It's not clear how he swims while holding his scepter, but this doesn't bother you.

>King John summoned.
>Imagination: 40/60

You only have one problem, which is quite recent. Lately, to the east, your tower's outer walls have stopped expanding. On that border, they bump up against another outer wall. You can see what's on the other side from any place of sufficient height. Beyond the wall seems to be almost a nicely decorated park, with cobblestone roads, were it not for the imposing castle in the center.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

>Hint: Votes after I start updating don't go in the update.

Can we leave the castle to see what's in the park? I say we do that.

Call for an emissary from the new castle. Bring a picnic basket to the park.

>>14998341
Agreed. If there's any way for us to get into the castle from our tower then we should do so. Do we have any kind of weapons? How did we get rid of the prior inhabitant of the cottage? Is there anything useful in it?

>Updating.

>>14998397
You wanted the cottage, and she refused to leave. There was a battle. You imagined all of the help you could. Your help was better than hers. When she was helpless, King John ate her. Or at least, you think he did. He definitely attacked her with his mouth open, and you're sure she is gone.

You have no weapons, but you could imagine some if you wanted.

>No voting until update, please.

You leave your tower and walk along the path down your mountain, following it to the edge of your territory. Actually crossing the wall is trickier. Neither wall is actually designed to be crossed. However, the irregularities of both walls provide the solution. You make King John give you a boost at a low point on your wall, then walk along your wall, balancing carefully, until it touches the strange wall and you can cross. From there, it's a simple matter of finding a soft spot where you can land.

King John is waiting on the other side, of course, just where you want him.

The system of paths is very well organized. There's a very direct route to the main gate of the castle, connecting to a sort of grid that leads to various smaller buildings. The areas between the paths contain various bits of landscaping. The one nearest to you contains a pond that King John has wandered off to splash in.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

>>14997995
This sort of reminds me of loli-quest. Too bad it went sour with all of the rail-roading.

>>14998471

Go and check out the smaller buildings. Be wary for any kind of activity or discovery.

>Updating.

>>14998523
And by "wary" he means imagine a halberd. I imagine.

You make King John be serious. You don't want to be discovered just yet. Taking a roundabout path that keeps as much cover between you and the main building as possible, you go exploring.

It seems to work. Of course, this place could just be empty.

In your exploration, you find a carpentry workshop that appears to be used regularly, possibly to make wooden statues, a field of flowers, a tall tree, and a sort of abstract representation of a storage area. It is spotlessly clean, and its crates are neatly stacked and evenly spaced, but they are all empty.

You could explore further, but if someone is looking for you it's going to make you progressively easier to spot.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

>>14998548
Well, I would but I assume it uses up Imagination points. On >>14998322 OP said that we had 40/60 Imagination left after summoning King John and I'm cautious about using up our points.

>>14998585
>Outside of stressful situations, Imagination is a pool rather than a finite resource.

>>14998576

We're clearly peeved that our tower has lost the ability to grow on it's Eastern side, so let's make this area ours. So, we have to remove the current inhabitant/s. Backtrack and then head towards the castle.

Stop imagining King John, wear crate, sneak in further. Can't conquer this wretched place without finding its inhabitants.

>Tie. Next vote for one of the stated options causes an update.

>>14998620
Do the top one, here.

You march up the main path to the gate. The main door is several times your height, and reinforced with iron bands. The wall is high, and the moat is wide.

>Short update, so first option that /tg/ doesn't object to takes it.

>>14998704

>>14998717
Let's do this.

>Updating.

I hope we have some kind of fire to deal with these inevitable wooden men we'll be fighting.

You imagine a firework. Then, not wanting to hold an explosive in your hand, you do your best to remember what a small cannon would look like. You point it straight up. When you're ready, the firework that was inside all along shoots out, spinning, hissing, and eventually exploding into a multicolored shower of sparks.

>Firwork hand cannon summoned. Imagination: 25/60

A few minutes pass. Just as you're starting to pass the boundary from bored over to going home, the gate starts to creak. It slowly opens to reveal a young girl, flanked by empty suits of armor that occasionally adjust their stances, and wooden mannikins that do the same, more awkwardly. She is armed with a sword and shield. There is a second girl behind her, looking worried.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

>>14998817
"Hi! My name's Titania Glass! I'm your new neighbor! What's your names?" Put on big cheesy grin and do a small curtsy. How many suits of armor? Flanked meaning two?

>>14998840
There are three suits, and two mannikins.

This didn't work so well last time, so maybe we'd do better bringing in another tank, and holding the drawbridge as a pinch point?
>Introduce yourself by name, inform her that her castle is so rudely in the way and if she wouldn't mind moving it.

>>14998817

>>14998890
You currently have a portable cannon. Since it shot fireworks before, there's no reason to assume it can't continue to do so. You've learned from experience not to worry about details.

>Updating.

>>14998903
Rule of Cool.

"Hi! My name's Titania Glass! I'm your new neighbor! What's your names?" You smile and curtsy, carefully keeping your eyes focused straight ahead.

The girl in the rear starts to smile and open her mouth to answer you before she notices the girl in the front clenching her fist around her sword and glaring at you hatefully.

"I'm Penelope, and I don't like your game."

"Oh, no. I'm not very good at games, Penny, but your toy soldiers sure look like fun! Who's your friend?"

The girl in the background says "Issabella." It's barely more than a whisper.

Penelope takes a step forward. "There's no fun for you here. Go away, and take your castle with you!" She's starting to sound agitated.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

"I have just as much right to a castle as you! Issabella, why don't you come visit mine for a while? It's very nice, and its owner isn't..."

You look directly at Penelope.

"...a BUTT."

Penelope goes into a full body muscle clench.

"You'reabuttyou'reabuttyou'reabuttyou'reabuttyou'reabuttyou'reabuttyou'reabuttyou'reabuttyou're

So, a troll or multiple trolls is a decent idea, though notoriously weak to fire(if DnD memory serves me correctly.) Can we take control of any of the opposing automatons? Another option could be destroying the bridge as Penny is charging across. Also, what if Issabella is the mastermind and the others are her creations?

>Updating.

>>14999340
Actually, King John is long range , so we should make him shoot at Penelope where he is

As Penelope starts her charge, two knotted, wrinkly hands grasp the side of the bridge. The owner of the hands pulls itself up onto the bridge. The troll is eight feet tall, and most of its features are concealed by thick, tangled hair.

King John waddles forward. His tongue shoots out of his mouth. Penelope sees the attack in time, and blocks it with her shield.

Moments later the shield disappears down King John's throat. He looks smug.

You fire your hand cannon into the crowd, but you don't have time to aim properly. The shot goes past the mannikin, barely glancing off of one of the knights, and explodes on the castle wall.

>Troll: move: 4 range: 1 damage: 10 power: 10 (25 points) The troll is very big, which is not represented on the map.
>Update continues.

Have the Troll capture Penelope!

Then have tea with Isabella.

Troll related beating will ensue. King John is awesome.

Penelope circles carefully around the newly imagined troll, desperate to get at you. She swings her sword, but with the chaos around her and her sudden loss of her shield, she is too off balance to connect, and her sword clangs against the cobbles at the end of her swing. She readies it again, unsteadily.

The automatons continue across the drawbridge. The mannikin leading the way reaches King John. He croaks and body checks it suddenly, and it spends a moment regaining its bearings.

There's got to be an advantage to having the more nimbler combat frog and troll over the combursome mannequins and clunky suits of armor. Can we shove them off the bridge somehow?

Further, can we imagine something to defend ourselves with that can easily counter the sword/shield?

>Further, can we imagine something to defend ourselves with that can easily counter the sword/shield?
>Imagination: 0/70
>Implying Penelope still has a shield

>>14999552

I'd agree with this, but have the troll attempt grab her from behind while your flare to her face distracts her. Better to keep her alive to answer some questions...

>>14999569
Ignore smacking around her head, full on pile on top of her while she is distracted by our taunts

>>14999606
Maybe. I can't think of any questions. She is just in the way is all. Besides, we can always save Issy Babes if we want a playmate.

>Updating.

>>14999632

The question is would it be better for us to have a willing playmate rather than a scared one? Everything seems to work on belief, so getting her to trust us and believe in us will probably help us more than just forcing her along. To that end, killing off the other girl she knows and grabbing her might not be the best move.

>>14999663
Good point. We'll force Penelope to yield. that will have her lose her powers I think.

>>14999689

Worst case scenario we can have enough control to make it look like self defense and that P is just a mean person. We've been nothing but nice to I and we need to keep that up if we want to be friends.

You shoot at Penelope and immediately run.

Since she's at such a close range, she manages to parry the shot with her sword, but then the firework goes off. The explosion leaves her blinking and confused. There's plenty of time for the troll to knock her to the ground from behind, pushing her away from the safety of her castle. Penelope drops her sword as she falls to the ground. At least, she must have dropped it, because it's not in her hand anymore.

The wooden man's arm is in King John's mouth up to the shoulder. A tug of war is ensuing. Nobody sits perfectly still quite like King John.

>Update continues.

>>14999726
If she doesn't yield, then maybe she should be thrown in the moat. The troll mustn't be tied up if the knights get to the front.

>>14999758

>Have troll grab her
>Point your gun at her
>"I wouldn't like games either if I was this bad at them. Yield please."

>Frog plays defense on bridge in case something tries to get between you and her

Penelope crawls on the ground, around the troll. She refuses to look at it. It starts to shimmer as if it were far away on a hot day.

>Penelope has successfully disbelieved in the troll. If you do not spend willpower to save it, it will vanish. Current Willpower: 40/40. Willpower required to save troll: ???

The automatons are starting to pile up on the bridge. The mannikin is currently pulling off a nice solid draw in the tug of war over its arm. King John could not be more neutral on this.

er, missed the continued bit.

Doesn't disbelieving the troll take a turn? So she's completely vulnerable now and within our reach. Run up to her, point gun to her head, demand she yield.

>>14999821
I like the way the useless mannikin is just sort of in the way. On the matter of disbelief, I suck at these, but...Guess high.

She has so many monsters I doubt she has much willpower. Maybe 20? I agree to threaten with a gun and a troll.

>>14999867
Wasn't the troll idea
'Go big or go home'?

I what do you have to lose from spending it all?
oh, i guess if you have to counter her more than once maybe

>>14999840
Sit at least some hexes back, can't shoot at close range as easily it seems.

>>14999895

It didn't work because she parried the shot with her sword which she now doesn't have.

We really, really don't want to miss this shot if we have to take it, and little girls aren't expert marksmen.

Penelopie needs to understand that it's over and to surrender before any other variable has a chance to much it up. She might think she has a chance of us missing if we're far away.

25 willpower on the troll?

>>14999916
So, believe 25 in our troll, wave our gun around shouting madly about her yielding, troll grabs and shakes, King John is a rock?

>Updating.

From the angle we're at a good solid shot from the cannon could not back into up to three of them, knocking them backwards. Penelope doesn't have to be worried about for a few turns, given how far away she is.

>I don't know anything about ballistics or movement in this type of game, so I could be wrong.

>I don't know anything about ballistics or movement in this type of game, so I could be wrong.
Nothing makes sense or is consistent. Titania can move three hexes per turn.

>>14999949
Most can move more than one hex. Yeah, we could be shooting into the crowd, but our focus was on Penny for a quick finish. We can't shoot and believe at the same time apparently, so the believing in the troll takes priority this turn... We should stay positioned to shoot effectively though.

"I wouldn't like games either if I was this bad at them. Yield please."

You point your gun at Penelope. It's almost as if she doesn't hear. She starts to break into a run, only stopping when the troll grabs her. She screams. The troll isn't holding her, it's holding the forward knight. Frustrated, it throws the knight into the moat, where it sinks.

King John has not moved one inch. In fact, it's possible that he's slowly drifting forwards, unrelated to anything that is going on.

In the confusion, Penelope scampers back across the bridge.

>Update continues.

>>14999980
That is a pretty neat trick she has.

The surviving mannikin leaps forward, flailing its wooden arms at you wildly. You are forced to step back or be knocked down. A few times, the mannikin strikes you, and while you don't actually experience the sensation of being hit, you don't like it at all.

The rest of the automatons press forward on the bridge.

>Also, minor edit: Penelope should have moved on her turn, not on yours. Same result, but I want that to be clear.


>Vote ends in 20 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

>>14999980

Well that's unfortunate.

Well, we have two water-resistant heavy creatures on a thin drawbridge against enemies that we now know sink if tossed over.

Have the troll and King John advance, shoving the automations to their deaths.

Peneloie still needs to get past her own knights before she can get to the safety of her castle. Take a turn to aim your cannon at the entrance, getting ready to fire a shot where the knights currently are.

At best, we fire that short knocking Penelopie back into our playmates. At worst, she's directly where the shot lands and takes a direct shot to the face, hopefully disabling her. And hey, if we kill her, at least we made a point of asking her to surrender. That should score us some points with Isabelle.

Troll: Attack the mannikin to the right.
King John the Frog: Manhandle the mannikin to the north.
Titania: Fire in the direction of Penelope

>>15000022
Surely something needs to be done about the scarecrow beating on our ass?

>>15000022
I was thinking we can now treat Penelope as disabled now. Pity she wouldn't yield.
Titania and King John should focus on that mannikin. Both attacking it.
Titania can shoot forever, so she can easily be useful in the top left corner and with a 9 range flare gun shoot at anything on the bridge if we need to.
Our remaining willpower we save for having the trololol pound knights easily after they engage?

>>15000049

Given our pretty poor accuracy so far, wouldn't a point-blank shot at a mannequin be the better option?

>>15000060
Indeed, this new mannikin can in no way be allowed to live.

Posted before second half of update again.

>>15000049
Second this, except for
>fire in the direction of Penelopie
which I would replace with
>aim for where the knights are

We're a pisspoor shot if we don't take a turn to aim. P is clearly retreating, and the only way to do that is through the other side if the drawbridge. Get ready to fire there and we might actually hit this time.

>>15000075
She has no weapons and presumably no willpower. You would really not get rid of that mannikin?
Reasserting that Titania shold run a long way up and left.

>>15000088

If she gets back in the castle, she has the possibility of retreat. We can't allow that.

-King John takes out the mannequin in front of us,
-Troll keeps the other mannequin busy,
-We aim for the drawbridge

either
*P shoves knights into moat to get away as fast as possible
*Knights fumble backwards awkwardly trying to give P room to retreat
*P is stuck on bridge

regardless, firework explosion on the bridge will be devastating next turn

>Updating.

>>15000110
I think you overestimate King John's ability to kill it straight up. We've already been hit, there is no point in preventing retreat if we are to be brought down by something so silly.

King John spits out the wooden man's arm and tosses his tongue in the general direction of the wooden man attacking you. His tongue wraps around its ankle and sends it crashing to the ground.

You point your cannon over the prone mannikin and take careful aim at the entrance of the castle.

The troll punches the leading mannikin into the moat.

>Update continues.

>>15000154

It's a wooden doll, presumably somewhat lightweight.

King John's tongue was powerful enough to wrench a shield from the girl's hands.

He should be able to at least keep it occupied.

The mannikin tries to crawl towards you, only succeeding in raking at the cobbles as King John pulls it backwards.

The front knight has better luck. Advancing mechanically, it thrusts its sword at the troll. It looks like the knight hit nothing but beard, but the troll still staggers back, one hand now clutched to its ribs.

>>15000202
We have 15 willpower I think, using 10 for the troll maybe.

>>15000191

Look at that straight line between us and her.
It's beautiful.

Have John swing the mannequin he's got wrapped up and smash it into the northern knight, knocking him out of the way of the shot and hopefully knocking it and maybe the other knight off balance.

The troll can smash the other knight into the water.

Fire our shot, take out the girl, and end this silliness.

>>15000202

We took a turn to aim a shot and now you want us to run off?

>take the shot we've been aiming for (i'm not sure what we're aiming at, but may as well take it)
>use the frog to keep pressuring mannequin
>get the troll (who we know is pretty massive) take to a dive and try and crush the drawbridge, dropping the two knights into the water with him, given that the troll came form the water he can probably swim, a big metal suit, less likely to be able to swim. Even if the troll dies, it's wounded and a 2 for 1 trade is worth it.

>>15000234
Shoot, then run. We can do both I think.
Or rather what I wanted to do was use belief to power the troll.

>>15000235
>Add in that we believe (WP10) the troll can tear up that bridge

and this

>>15000235
This, although I'm hoping to destroy the mannequin instead of just stopping it.

>>15000253
except we can't believe and shoot.

The shot is the green line that takes out Penelopie.

For that to happen we need to take out the other knight in the way.
John already has the other mannequin grappled. He can use it as a weight to take out knight 1.
Troll can smash up knight 2.
With everything out of the way, we can take a clear shot that we already aimed straight at Penelopie.

>Updating.

King John swings the mannikin about with his tongue. It flops around helplessly as it crashes into the front knight, knocking it to the side. Finally, it too ends up in the moat. It floats, but is slowly carried away, despite the lack of a visible current.

The troll punches at the knight, with one hand on its wounded torso. The knight parries with its sword.

Penelope seems to be running very slowly. The firework arcs out of your cannon, and you see it travel towards her. It's going to connect.

At the last moment, the knight in the rear jumps into the firework's path. The projectile lands inside of its helmet, bounces to the bottom of the empty suit of armor, and explodes. The knight is gone.

>Update continues.

The knight attacks the troll from the side it is failing to defend due to its wound. For a second time, the attack strikes true. The troll is in bad shape, but it stays on its feet in a wobbly fashion.

Penelope rounds the corner, covering her head with her arms.

>edit for picture
>Vote ends in 20 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

I think it's time to end this. Believe that the troll can toss the remaining knight in the moat and have King John capture Penelope.

Let's hope she yields this time.

Believe in King John's movement for 1 WP.

He can reach Penelope in one turn.

Cannon seems to have been pretty shit.

Use will or whatever to help out (heal if possible) the troll.
Get the King to hold the last knight in place, while the troll smacks his face off.
Consolidate and defend.

>Again, i'm not really sure how this whole "will" shindig works.

>>15000320
We should use our remaining willpower to defeat this one last knight. Wipe it from existance, Troll and King John just slam it to bits.

>>15000345
Oh, damn, forgot he has that extra hex of range. Disregard!

>>15000320
Have troll finish off knight.
Run across bridge with King John. Demand she yields one last time.

>>15000345
If she doesn't yield, she becomes frog food. And so be it. We can't let loose cannons sit about attacking random people! How can we have tea parties if we have *that* sort of person about?

>Again, i'm not really sure how this whole "will" shindig works.
>You can banish enemies by spending willpower to disbelieve in them. This causes an opposed roll between the willpower you spent and their power.
>You can boost one ally's stats with willpower at a one to one ratio.
>Both of these are done in place of attacking.

>>15000320
Just so I'm clear, There isn't a chance for us to be civil after this right? We tried that route, we were attacked. Flay em all I say..

>>15000312

Too easy to have just killed her I suppose.

Fuck it.

Troll slams himself into remaining knight, shoving them both in the water and hopefully ending the fight.

John is to engage the knight if it somehow manages to survive a massive dying troll launching itself at it.

If the troll does take out the knight, John is to advance into the castle and secure Penelopie with his tongue. Isabelle won't go anywhere.

If that all actually works, cross the bridge to the girl and ask in a polite way what that was all about.

>>15000348
I think the value of it was its range, which we used to force a knight into self-sacrifice. Pretty good since the knights could get through the troll if we let them.

>>15000368
>Ask politely
>Rip and Tear

I vote the second.

>>15000372
When this is over, we're summoning a ballistics instructor and learning how to shoot straight.

>>15000367
We can be civil. We know how to behave in society. We also know that Penelope won't yield if we ask her, so we can flay all we like AND be civil about it. This is LE, monsieur.

>>15000367

We have this fight in the bag. However, there are still some questions that are unanswered. We don't know much of what's going on, and we don't know why Penelope is keeping Isabelle, a seemingly useless girl, as company. We assume there must be some tactical advantage to her.

We know that our power functions off of belief and imagination, and therefore we know there is a possibility that we could get stronger if we can gather more belief around us.

We know that we are lawful evil, and our priorities should be to figure out what exactly the rules of this place is and how we can exploit any and everything the system offers us to maximise our power.

I maintain that we capture Penelope, question her, convince Isabelle that we're good people (better than Penelope) and to come with us, then maybe kill Penelope anyways once Isabelle is out of the room because of the hassle the bitch put us through.

>>15000388
She might yield after losing all her "friends", so we'll just ask nicely, and at least let her explain everything before we do anything rash.

>Rip and Tear
Ok, but lets use our punch attack. Let's have this be as embarrassing as possible.

>>15000388
I miss being NG
lol

>>15000395
Convincing Isabella won't be that hard. Penelope executed the girl she was trying to protect. As long as she yields to us, Penelope can tag along for all I care.

>>15000406
>Penelope executed the girl she was trying to protect.

What?

Updating.

>>15000406

>Penelope executed the girl she was trying to protect.

We don't know that.

This is a different character and a different story.

Penelope tagging along could be possibly beneficial but is a threat due to her innate hostility unless we can divert that against us to something else. I suggest either we somehow fully convert her to our side or we kill her.

The troll charges forward, becoming more solid and temporarily gaining the use of its arms again.

>Willpower: 0/40.

The knight goes over the edge. The troll barely stops in time.

>Combat over. There's still some question on how to proceed, so you effectively have an extra combat turn before anything happens.
>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

Have King John wrap his tounge around Penelope's ankles, ask her why she attacked you and why she wouldn't yield, and then offer her to yield once more.

Have a tea party if she yields.

>>15000395
...Fine, we'll try this your way.
>>15000447
There's my vote..(Still think ripping and tearing should be involved.)

>>15000447

Have the King tongue-grab Penelope before she can do anything silly.

Walk in, keep the troll by you as a bodyguard in case anything happens.

Gauge the reactions of both Persephone and Isabelle before deciding how to proceed.

>>15000471

Any chance we could rustle up some bandages or something? Given that we've got a troll that's been stabbed twice and is probably leaking troll-insides at this point.

>>15000492

We willed the troll to heal back, isn't that permanent?

Also, regeneration is usually a thing with trolls, no?

>Updating.
>>15000497
>>15000492
>In a few minutes, you'll have your stats back, and you can fix John and the troll, or unsummon them for later (or to replace them with something else).

>>15000504

Is there a "cap" on the number of summoned things we can control? Also do we get a % of spent points back form something if its unsummoned?

King John binds Penelope's ankles, his tongue forming a wobbly line on the castle's floor. Penelope sticks out her chest and glares at you, but her knees shake a little bit.

"Why did you want to fight me?"

She blinks. "We're enemies... you know that. You want to rule us or kill us. I... I can't let you."

She pauses and says, more softly, "And you called me a butt."

>>15000513
>No cap that you're aware of, and you get all of your imagination back.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

Turn to Isabella;

And what is your role in this?

>>15000520
I'm fine with this.

>>15000514
Don't even bother to glare at her. Turn to Isabella and give her the sweetest smile we can that won't alarm her. Ask her if we can still be friends. We can peghole her for answers in a more civil place. Upon leaving, have John eat the other bitch.

>>15000514


"And why would I do such a thing like that? I don't even know who you are. If we can imagine anything we want, why would we need to fight each other, silly?

Turn to Isabelle and smile

"Is your friend always so fast to judge people?"

ooc:
Two goals of this conversation:
1. get as much information as possible
2. get Isabelle on your side

We do the first by asking Persephone questions. We do the second by making Persephone look crazy and unreasonable, making Isabelle think that it might be a smarter thing to be with this nice girl with the frog rather than the crazy girl who charges ahead and gets into fights.

>>15000520
>>15000518

With the possible addition of unsummoning the cannon for some free imagination?

>Early update because we aren't getting three votes for something else.

You direct your attention to the girl peeking out from behind Penelope. "And what is your role in this?"

"I... I stay here. And Penelope is my friend."

>>15000552
>take that back, vote continues until :37

>>15000552
A friend who walks around with armed guards and attacks visitors? Doesn't sound like the nicest "friend to be around".

>>15000552

"Does your friend always get you in so much trouble?"

Change the topic back to asking questions from Penelope. We don't want her getting to defensive or she'll be more reluctant to answer questions, and we don't want to harm her too much in front of Isabelle and risk alienating her so I'd rather not resort to torture yet.

Persephone is obviously convinced that there is a need for conflict and some kind of a power struggle. We need to know everything there is to know about what that struggle is, why we are a part of it, and what we can do to improve our standing in it.

>Updating.

"And why would I do such a thing like that? I don't even know who you are. If we can imagine anything we want, why would we need to fight each other, silly?

"Because... doing the right thing matters. Always." She looks at you, convinced.

You turn to Issabella. "Is your friend always so fast to judge people?"

She nods. "But she's not bad. ...please don't hurt her."

>Ten minutes, or until a majority approves one plan.

>>15000607
So, we're dealing with a paladin. Anyone still objecting killing that one? The other one we can sway..probably doesn't have that high of will power I'm thinking.

>>15000607

Giggle.

"I don't know about you, but I always thought that the right thing means being nice to people and sharing, not attacking strangers who want to say hello.

Isabelle, could you please go get us some tea? Persephone and I need to talk about some things so we can be friends again."

>>15000607
Order the frog to eat her.

>>15000622
>>15000617

Jesus christ people, we're Lawful Evil, not stupid sociopaths.

Get Isabelle out of the room, have a serious fucking talk with her to figure shit out, once shit is figured out, decide what is in our best interest and go from there.

None of this hurr durr evil kill good crap.

>It looks like this is a tie between separating the girls and talking, and killing Penelope, unless someone clarifies.

>>15000632
At best, they'll be an annoyance that could distract us later on.
At worse, our ultimate downfall.
Remove the threat before it can become a problem. A lot of empires crumble because of choices like this.

>>15000632
Agreed. Maybe try explain if we were really evil, we wouldn't be talking now to them now.

We could use some allies. I don't know how to proceed, but I object to killing anyone without a very good reason.

>Updating.

>>15000660

Then we kill her after we're sure we don't need her anymore.

We're not going to kill our only source of information and possibly alienate the only other then living person we know simply because you keep bringing meta-gaming knowledge like "she Isabelle's friend last game" or "she's a Paladin, we all know those guys eventually wind up taking out the villain in the third act".

You giggle. "I don't know about you, but I always thought that the right thing means being nice to people and sharing, not attacking strangers who want to say hello.

Issabella, could you please go get us some tea? Penelope and I need to talk about some things so we can be friends again."

"I, um, I don't think I've ever seen any."

You put the troll away for later, and imagine some tea in the other room. "Try your best."

You bring out some chairs and a table for Penelope and yourself. King John shuffles over too, but he can sit on the floor.

Penelope sits, staring at her hands.

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

>>15000701

Right guys, we have two options here:

1. Keep up the nice girl facade, try to persuade Persephone that she made a mistake, get her to explain what's going on and eventually try to convince her and Isabelle to join us.

2. Drop the nice girl facade, intimidate, threaten and cajole her into giving us any and all information she has

Note that she's obviously vulnerable right now and it's not a reach to think that some helpful pushes in any direction can get her thinking whatever we want her to think.

Also note that we can still kill her after regardless of what route we take.

Why won't you yield? What good can you do when you're not around anymore?

>>15000715
I suggest going with option one. And, if we can imagine whatever we want, why not try to imagine something into her tea to make her a bit more agreeable? Just a thought.

>>15000715
Penelope?
And it is not a facade, we really do want Issabell to be our friend, for the sake of tea parties.
It doesn't matter what happens to Penelope. If she is subjugated we can continue to expand. We should let her live and not be a beast.

>>15000715

I would go with option 1. Morally justified people tend to clam up when faced with an obvious enemy, and a willing confession can always provide more information than something taken by force. Having her be a permanent ally might be a stretch, but for now we can at least peel off any info we need.

I'd start with an intro.

"So Persephone, lets try this again. My name is Titania, and before I met you and Issabella I didn't know anyone else even existed. You seem like a nice girl. Could you please explain to me what you think is going on and why you attacked me?"

>I didn't know anyone else even existed
We annexed a cottage and had KJ eat the owner in the back story, but otherwise this.

>>15000759
Oh right. Lawful evil --> intentional factual inaccuracies with the goal of winning.

>Updating.

"So Persephone, lets try this again. My name is Titania, and before I met you and Issabella I didn't know anyone else even existed. You seem like a nice girl. Could you please explain to me what you think is going on and why you attacked me?"

She thinks. "I know there are more people. Or at least there were. I don't know how many. And I know some are bad, and it's my job to fight them or... or something bad will happen."

Issabella shows up with tea and an assortment of cakes. She serves everyone and arranges the cakes on the table, pauses, and exits the room.

Penelope hangs her head. "But I can't do that anymore."

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

>>15000802

"I think we both know that hurting people is bad Penelope. I also think that if you were pushed to hurting people, you would want a better reason than "something bad would happen."

Smile again.

"Really Persephone, you can tell me anything. Maybe you can start by telling me why you thought I was a bad person? If we can figure that out, then maybe you can trust me and we can be friends. Issabelle is your friend, so you know not all of us are bad. How can you tell?"

>>15000824

OOC but forgive the constant name mix ups in my posts. I'm not entirely sober and I keep slipping between them.

Smile, swing our naked calfs back and forth on too large chair that we are sitting on and sing the nursery rhyme that we like and suddenly remember:

Ringelringelreihen,
Wir sind der Kinder dreien,
sitzen unter'm Hollerbusch
Und machen alle Huschhuschhusch!

Then burst into laugh

>>15000802
Well, if something bad is about to happen, then we would want to stop it for our own sake.
She would want us to stop it for her stupid sake,
and most of all she would want us stop it for dear sweet Issabellas' sake.
If she could just get her stupid head around that. Tell her this.

>>15000829
Also, this. Before any others

"Ringelringelreihen,
Wir sind der Kinder dreien,
sitzen unter'm Hollerbusch
Und machen alle Huschhuschhusch!"

"Really Penelope, you can tell me anything. Maybe you can start by telling me why you thought I was a bad person? If we can figure that out, then maybe you can trust me and we can be friends. Issabella is your friend, so you know not all of us are bad. How can you tell?"

"Something told me how. Or... I don't know. Something... showed me how? When I see someone who's done bad things, I can tell. You'll do bad things again." She's very certain of this.

"But why would I do anything bad when we all have the same future to worry about? One where something bad happens? I want to stop that. Wouldn't anyone?"

"I... I guess. It doesn't matter. What happens from now on is your choice."

>Vote ends in 10 minutes, or with a first or tie-breaking vote after that time.

Why won't you and Isabella come along with me? You could make sure that I don't do anything bad and stop me if I ever will.

>>15000891
Eat her, she'll never trust you. Demand Isabella become your vassal.

>>15000909

and then wink and poke our tongue for brief moment.
We are Lawful Evil, are we not?

>>15000891
I get the feeling she doesn't really know.
Issabella, who is our tea party friend, wishes us not to hurt her. We will therefore assimilate her castle, but leave her alive. She will be subjugated and serve us tea and crumpets in the park, on which we shall dine with Issabella. Then we can continue or adventure in the best possible solution.

>>15000891

Right, so there's no way of convincing her that we're good, but at least she's uncertain enough to cooperate with us.

What we need now is a next step. It seems that both of us have vague recollections of memories that we can't fully piece together, I guess that we should be doing that. The question is, do we take her on our quest, leave her here, or kill her?

Also I suggest taking Issabella with us as she seems to be a very good friend/servant/tea getter. We need one of those.

>>15000920
If we make this demand of Penny, Issabella will come along anyway, and like it. Two followers bettet than one?

>>15000975


...excuse me, I don't think anyone suggested that we call them servants outright. She made it very clear that she was touchy about being ruled by someone and the last thing anyone would have said was something involving ruling. Also, it's pretty out of character with everything we've said so far.

Fuck it. If there's no going back, have the King grab her off you and tie her up. We'll figure out what's next after.

Still, that shit's stupid GM.

>>15000991
Make the Frog eat her.

Why will people not do this?

>>15000975
Well, thats that. I guess you can't tame a wild beast. Cry out so that Issabella knows and sees. Then have King John just eat her. If Issy asks, remember to use the phrase "Wild beast".

>>15000975

>You smile. "That's right, it is my choice. And I choose... for you and Issabella to be my servants from now on."
>servants

We are playful Evil, not Mao Tse Tsung Evil.
Not cool, GM, not cool.

>>15000991
>>15001019
I was ok with it...

>>15000991
>I think I misunderstood the meaning of "vassal." If people in general think this is bullshit I'm willing to call it a fuckup and pack it in for tonight.

>>15001005

Because we want Issabella on our side, and killing her friend isn't a good way of going about doing that.

We've been through this.

That being said, yeah, I agree with >>15001006 . Call out to Issabella and have her run in to see her friend clearly attacking you. Then command John to eat Penelope while shouting "No, Don't!" out loud.

John eats Penelope, you shout, Issabella cries. You apologize to Issabella, saying that you don't know what happened or why she attacked you. Explain that King John is very, very protective of you and stopped Penelope the only way he knew how. Apologize again and see what she says.

>And that's two votes for bullshit. I'm not inclined to argue, it's late and my reading comprehension is probably impaired by now. Tea is still on, we'll pick up with chapter 4 tomorrow.

>>15001032
I'm interested on what the other interpretation of "vassal" is.

>>15001061
Allright. Someone seems to be fucking up the thread anyway. Nice quest though!

>>15001061
This quest is quite fun.

Also, this quest reminded me of this picture.

>>15001070
>I was under the impression that it was "do pretty much whatever I say forever" rather than "you are pretty much independent, but give me a pile of gold regularly."

>>15001028

You're ok with it because you're the same guy who advocated eating the girl right off the bat because "we're evil lol".

And yeah, a vassal means servant, but one assumes that unless it's said in quotes you don't go about saying that you'll subjugate them. That tends to annoy people. Also I think only two people outright mentioned servant/vassal where most people went with companions/whatever.

>>15001093
This was mine. Here.
>>15000925

>>15001082
Next time, our equipped weapon should be a unicorn. Bad Ass.
