rolled 7 = 7

Rolling for female gender.

That would make this not only Monster Quest, but Monster Girl Quest.

rolled 2 = 2

>>17976713
Seconded

>>17976723
>>17976713
Though it pains me to allow this, I shall.

Choose a race, boobed one.

rolled 5 = 5

>>17976734
Oh yes.

We shall be a...

...Slime Girl

>>17976743
Not with that roll you aren't.

Hey let's wait more than 4 posts to devolve into fetishes please.

rolled 18 = 18

Ghoul, to keep this from getting too fetish-y.

rolled 15 = 15

>>17976707
Ghoul.

>>17976753
Unless the next roll or two is higher, I'll start with the GHOUL path line.

rolled 14 = 14

Slime

>>17976753
>>17976752
Not too fetish-y you say?

rolled 14 = 14

Slime.

rolled 13 = 13

>>17976762
Why we no imp?

We can grow up to be something badass like a Gargoyle or something.

>>17976766
Forgetting my picture you say?

rolled 16 = 16

Voting for Imp

rolled 11 = 11

Slime!

Alright, final roll off between GHOUL and IMP, then we can get started.

>>17976771
Hey guys what's going o--

rolled 17 = 17

>>17976788
Ghoul

rolled 18 = 18

>>17976788

GHOUL!

rolled 20 = 20

>>17976788
Imp.

rolled 16 = 16

>>17976788
Imp

rolled 19 = 19

GHOUL

rolled 33 = 33

>monster quest
>roll to be female
> make a slime

You may as well just give up on using this premise as a quest, OP. /TG/ will always turn it to fetish shit.

>>17976798
>>17976798
rolling for female imp

Slime! Consume everything grow larger repeat until we are a planet

>>17976798
You are an IMP. Unwise and untested, you are a young demon fresh from the spawning pits, summoned by mortal hands into the world. You awaken for the first time, in front of a young man who furiously exclaims his happiness in "Finally getting the spell right!" He is skinny, rather short, with messy blonde hair and he dresses poorly.

But before we get to your reaction to being summoned, what TYPE of IMP are you?

>Red Imp
Strong in arm and quick to anger, Red Imps are resistant to fire and larger than other Imps, though still no where near human height.
>Blue Imp
Small, slight, and calm, Blue Imps are immune to cold and talented in magical affairs.

rolled 19 = 19

>>17976814

>imp

Welp, I'm out

rolled 9 = 9

>>17976818
>>17976818
>>17976818
blue imp

>>17976814
No; stop that.

>>17976818
Blue imp; we can hitch a job as a familiar until we get money, bitches, and souls.

Also, as an imp, do we have a head honcho we report to in The Pits?

dice+1d20
>>17976748
I support the Slime option. If that isn't possible as someone already rolled for it, Imp

>>17976836
Your HEAD HONCHO in THE PITS would be Samas Tirazel, a notable demon prince and your sire. Do not confuse his hand in your creation for fatherly affection, as you are a tool to be used and thrown away if found wanting.

rolled 16 = 16

Red.

rolled 4 = 4

Blue imp sounds good, since the dude who summoned us seems to suck at magic

Blue imp

rolled 7 = 7

I agree with blue.

Besides magical power suiting an imp more we can have a lot more fun trolling people with magic that we can straight strength

>>17976849
>>17976849
so we are a blue imp?

>>17976852
You are a RED IMP. Standing at just under four feet and child-like in body, you have yet to mature into any of the more powerful demonic archetypes. However, do not mistake your infancy for helplessness. You are stronger than a mortal man, and can walk through flames unharmed.

Final choice!

>NAME
and
>ACTION

>>17976873
Sorry, had to go with the roll.

>>17976875
Standing at just under four feet and child-like in body

So we're a demon loli?

rolled 99 = 99

Rolling for male blue imp

>>17976875
>Chlaon the Charred.
>"What is thy desire, human? I will give you what you desire..." (for a price)

rolled 6 = 6

>>17976875
>Name
Desudesu Lolicon

>action
Masturbate

>>17976875
I vote we punch the wizard in the genitalia, take his spellbook (or any scrolls, rings, etc) we find, and gtfo cackling like stewie on a sugar high.

The logic is simple; red imp doesn't use much magic, so therefore we need things to boost our magic defense and also to possibly make our hits magical in some way.

>>17976898
Roll for success or failure.

rolled 7 = 7

>>17976891
Rolling on behalf of this.

rolled 2 = 2

Our name is...

Fluttershy the Rainbow Dasher

rolled 58 = 58

Our name is Fagaman.

>>17976891
Forgot my roll.

>>17976898
We may be brutish, but we're not /that/ stupid. Knowing who he is, where we are, and all of that should happen first. If he's a nobody, then we'll take what's rightfully ours and then split.

>>17976914
>mfw

>>17976907
Clarify: Is that a roll to hit, a roll to damage, then a roll to find item, or is it one roll which rules all three?

rolled 7 = 7

>>17976875
Name should be Emp, as for action ask the what he wants making sure he knows we don't like our time being wasted.

rolled 1 = 1

>>17976898

Lilith
I vote punch in the nuts and steal his shit
(sorry if the roll doesn't go through new to /tg/ and trying to get the stuff right)

>refusing a slime girl just for potential derail

What a disgrace

>>17976908
You are CHLAON THE CHARRED. As the hesitant mortal fumbles about for the proper symbols and instruments to bind you, you make your offer.

"What do you desire, Human? I can provide it, for a price..."

He turns to you, and shakes his head.

"No nonononono. I know where this is going. I'm gonna say what I want and you'll say "Oh sure I'll just take your soul" and then POW next thing I know I'm elbow deep in demon feces in hell. I did this properly and I don't need to give you anything! You're my familiar now, and with your help I'm gonna be the best wizard in the world!"

>>17976931
I was only half kidding when I suggested the idea of punching and filching. But, since its clear that we don't know what we need to know yet, I'm changing my action to; lets find out where we are and etc first.

>>17976941
I think you don't capitalize the dice in the e-mail field but I may just be being pants-on-head retarded here.

rolled 15 = 15

>>17976898
>>17976898
Punch the wizard in the cunt and take his spell book

rolled 18 = 18

>>17976943

What? Bullshit, did he really bind us as a familiar? Can we sense that sort of thing, see if there's any holes in his ritual?

rolled 19 = 19

>>17976931
Forgot my roll again.

rolled 22 = 22

Wave our imp penis at the wizard and declare we will rape him and all he holds dear.

ITT:
>everyone wants to be Ghoul or slime
DM: You're an imp
>Everyone wants to be a blue imp
DM: You're a red imp

Great show DM

rolled 6 = 6

>>17976943
"...soul? Who said I would require something so silly?" He's onto us!

"Now, stop this familiar nonsense and let me discuss with you on a more even level."

Try stepping outside whatever binding he has set up. We'll need to break it unless we want to be bound to this idiot for the rest of our days.

>>17976963
You sense a small distortion in the magical field surrounding your body. He didn't do this properly, for sure, but most of the work is sound. You won't be able to directly attack him, but you aren't bound in place. He...completely forgot to put down anything to stop you from just walking out the door. There isn't even a basic ward of fealty to make you obey him!

rolled 95 = 95

>>17976971
(Imp here is short for impressive lol )

rolled 8 = 8

>>17976943
Well it seems he didn't and we remain unbound, let's not tell him that though. I'm inclined to go along with his whims right now, perhaps steer him into a dire situation where he absolutely requires our and then reveal the true nature of our relationship-then claim his soul.

So to get that started let's fake attempting to strain against some force and pout. Then ask what the 'master' is up to, where we are, and whatever else is important to immediately notice.

Well this looks boring now, at least op has stuck to his rules though

>>17976972
In retrospect, I should have let the majority rule there with the color. You guys ok with that minor retcon and being blue?

rolled 5, 3 = 8

>>17976992
Fine by me.

>>17976983
If we are blue, then, him binding us might give us a ticket to some knowledge banks. However, since we're technically the smarter of the two breeds of Imp, let's try tampering with the binding so that we are granted a great deal of autonomy. Perhaps even bind him to us, if possible...

rolled 20 = 20

>>17976992
>>17976992
yes also what kind of binding does this faggot wizard has us in?

rolled 10 = 10

I gesture elaborately as if performing some high magical function and speak.

"I... I see your future..... You will slip on something greasy and hit your head.... afterwards you will believe yourself to be a 17 year old girl... and you will spend the rest of your life giving orks fellatio for tree-fiddy."

[note: uncertain if I diced right, used dice+1d20]

rolled 14 = 14

>>17976992

Fine with me.

Also, fuck this guy. If he's not going to offer us anything, then we're not going to be his magical pet. Give him the finger and walk out that door.

rolled 6 = 6

Roll for...

...Seduction.

>>17976992

Yeah yeah, sure.

rolled 74 = 74

Roll for committing suicide.

rolled 15 = 15

>>17977005

This sounds like a good plan, if this kid wasn't smart enough to put the proper protections in place, then he wouldn't notice if we changed something with the binding either.

Blue is fine

>>17977008
You flip the bird and begin walking out of the binding. He begins to panic and calls out for you to stop. "Please, don't if my mother finds out I've been doing magic up here she'll kill me! Look, if I um...if I...I don't know, is there anything we can work out? Work together here, be partners, please?"

You're already at the door out of the small, and now that you think of it, rather messy room.

rolled 2 = 2

>>17977030
Oh shit.

Tell Eric you really don't want to lead him around the world, granting him his wishes and that you really hated that part with the aztecs.

rolled 86 = 86

>>17977030
Demand his mother suck our dick.

rolled 1 = 1

>>17977030
I tell him, "Kid I will chop your dick off. I do what I want. And a kid as young as you shouldn't be summoning demons, are you INSANE! What if you had gotten something REALLY dangerous? Or even worse, what if a succubus had shown up? Might have a thing or two to tell your mother THEN, eh? From here on in you do what I say, now clean your room!"

Rollan for intimidate.

rolled 3 = 3

>>17977030

Go with this
>>17977005
>>17977020

The kid wants power, right? We can help him out with that. Show him how to do it "correctly" but adjust some parts of the ritual so it ends up we get most of the control and autonomy. I doubt he'll know the difference until it's too late.

>>17977030
"You won't offer me your soul; what else could you possible offer me? From the looks of it, you don't even have the knowledge to keep a simple imp in a chamber. Enroll in a wizard school, grow some talent, and then come and find me."

Assuming he doesn't have anything else to offer us, walk out the door.


Also, a few questions:
How tall are we? What magics do we have available? Invisibility? Some form of flight? Do we ever get hungry? How often do we think Samas will check on us, if ever?

Throw some trolling spells about then fly out.

we don't owe him anything, especially since he dragged us from out nice spot in the underworld

rolled 38 = 38

Brandish our penis at him and his mother in a threatening manner.

rolled 7 = 7

Ransack his spell book. Cast invisibility and leave. We have a wonderful oppurtnity to meddle in the mortal world with almsot no limits.

>>17977059
Roll for action.

As an IMP you have small wings capable of gliding. You grow hungry and thirsty as mortals do, but at a slower rate. You do not need to sleep. As a Blue Imp, you are just over 4 feet. You cannot go "Invisible" but you can make other people...not notice you. It won't stop careful investigation, but as long as you wear something to cover up the horns and skin, most people won't give a shit if they see a flash of blue every now and then. They won't even notice.

rolled 68 = 68

>>17977069
Do we have clothes on?

rolled 14 = 14

>>17977075
Rolling.

>>17977077
Yes.

rolled 20 = 20

Alright, take both his spell book and a hooded robe if possible. A blanket would do in a pinch. Then cast notice-me-not. We can't harm him but stealing should be fine.

>>17977084
You give him your spiel and he swallows nervously. "Fine, fine, just...don't wake mother on your way out. And promise not to do anything too bad? Please?"

Do you cast anything before walking out?

rolled 19 = 19

>>17977101
Whip my massive schlong out and make him swallow something else

rolled 19 = 19

>>17977101
Return to him, then give his forehead a small nudge, channeling some magical energy. No spell-casting involved, but the paranoia of what we just did to him should give him nightmares. After that, cast Firecracker to alert the entire household. Once the chaos has been sown, hop out a window and take flight.

rolled 18 = 18

Quick question Op, would killing his family allow us to steal souls for power? Or would we have to bargain?

rolled 13 = 13

Also we are female... we don't have a schlong.

>>17977100
You take a blanket from his bed and drape it over yourself, casting the Notice-me-not spell on yourself before taking his spell book, a small, ratty affair that's very small and very old. It smells musty, and barely any magical aura radiates off of it.

Walking out of the door, you find yourself in a small home, poorly lit but otherwise cozy. The smell of baking bread wafts from the oven and a plump woman with her hair tied in a bun is cleaning dishes. She doesn't even turn her head but calls out "If your one of Erics friends, then you should be heading off soon. Don't want t'be caught after curfew. There's a loaf on the table if y'want it, now be off."

>>17977121
Greater demons are capable of stealing souls by force and murder, but as an Imp, you would have to enter into a contract to have any hope of getting one.

rolled 89 = 89

>>17977130
>implying we are not a majestic futa demon.

>>17977132
Well, >>17977120 was the flashier exit, but I guess we can exit quietly. Take the loaf, then exit down the front door. Do we gain strength from souls alone, or do we get some strength from generic chaotic feels, like hysteria or panic?

>>17977153
Or lust?

rolled 20 = 20

Alright lets take the bread and find someplace to read our new book and plot a way to find gullible mortal. Sewers or a cave.

>>17977166

Take loaf and shout bye to his mum, she won't think of it as anything unusual as long as she does'nt see you butt naked

>>17977173
Why is anime always so horribly animated?

>>17977101

Don't cast anything. Spare the kid, I kind of like him for setting us up with this nice opportunity. Let's sneak out.

>>17977153
Devouring strong emotions will give you temporary surges of strength, but souls will provide you with permanent power.

Taking the loaf of bread and holding it under an arm, you exit out the front door. The sun is setting, and you look around to get a good view of your surroundings. You seem to be on the outskirts of a city, right by the wall. It's very tall, visible above the houses. The crowds of people in the streets are slowly dispersing as guards call out for Curfew time. The people are predominantly light-skinned and dark-haired.

rolled 6 = 6

Find and seduce a hobo, so we can get on the road to becoming a succubus!

>>17977197
what time of the year is it?

rolled 16 = 16

Wow thats what 2 nat 20s in the last 10 mins. Pity they're kinda being wasted.

Any sewer entrances. Manholes? I suppose we could also look for abandoned houses.

Also, I do have to apologize. I know I typed in the opening that I'd be taking the most entertaining/commonly supported, but I completely forgot about it like an idiot and thought I was running "Rolls only, highest roll gets to go."

From now on I'll try to remember that majority rules and the roll is only for success or failure.

rolled 45 = 45

>>17977013
>>17977077
>>17977139
>>17977166
>>17977203

No. Just no.

OP, could you just make it so the imp is male to cut this kind of shit out?

>>17977197
Start stalking around, catching rumors and the like. Time of year, where we are, who the king is, local wars or issues, etc.

Also, as an Imp, do we have a fellow Imp-o-meter? Perhaps finding sources of power we could claim?

>>17977206
Though you are not entirely sure of the area, it's cold. Most likely late fall or winter time, but you can't be certain.

There are hatches in the streets every block or so, seemingly unguarded. This seems to be a poorer district, and there are one or two abandoned homes.

rolled 8 = 8

I like the idea of a female demon that doesn't go the succubus route. Besides that guy is just an obvious troll.

>>17977233
Listening around as you wander the streets, you hear of a few rumors. The government is cracking down on Necromancy again, and 10 people were hanged in the last week alone. A troll has taken up residence in a cave outside of town and has been raiding caravans. The King has not committed any forces to the matter, and the citizens are getting concerned. Finally, the Crown Prince has announced his sponsorship of a new tradesman's guild.

As an Imp, you have a general sense of when other demonic forces are present, but only of their presence or absence. You do not feel any presence at the moment.

rolled 7 = 7

Lets try those hatches. With the notice-me-not up we should be able to get in fairly easily. Furthermore I bet theres sewer dwellers that won't mind losing a soul for petty revenge on another sewer dweller.

rolled 20 = 20

>>17977293
Cool; fresh real-estate.

>>17977297
This sounds like a good idea. Find hobos, make promises, acquire souls.

>>17977297
Walking over to a hatch, you wait until there are less people around. No one seems to notice or care when you, after some trouble and time, open the hatch and duck into the sewers. Wandering about, you occasionally find abandoned camps, items, and bedrolls, most of them soaked in filth and piss.

rolled 19 = 19

>>17977315
Locate the nearest soul.

>>17977325
Wandering about the sewers for what seems like hours, you finally find an old man sleeping in a pile of torn rags and clothes. He hasn't noticed you yet, thankfully, and seems to be entirely asleep.

rolled 20 = 20

>>17977325

Try and break into one of the abandoned houses, leaving no visible damage, so we can read the spell book, eat the bread and wait for night to fall proper.

rolled 3 = 3

>>17977325
Nice roll. We should be sure to find something worthwhile. Since we're about to enter a Bargain what spells do we know?

We'll either be called to kill someone or steal something is my guess. So notice-me-not is going to be a primary spell regardless.

>>17977374
The spells you know are

>SHOCK. You are capable of manufacturing a stunning charge from your hands, that will incapacitate most men.
>NOTICE ME NOT. You are capable of becoming not -quite- invisible. Just ignorable.
>DARKNESS. You can create a cloud of darkness, obscuring the vision of mortals.

rolled 8 = 8

>>17977366
"Psst; old man. Awaken. I come bringing good tidings..."

Also, how do our deals exactly work? Is there some contract that has to be signed, or is it as simple as a verbal agreement?

rolled 1 = 1

Look him over for any weapons. Remove them. Then wake him up. Time to Bargain.

>>17977421
The old man awakens, scratching fingers through his dirty beard as he yawns. "Eh, whazzawhat? Who th'fuck are you?" He says, standing up. He's hunched over, and smells awful.

rolled 11 = 11

>>17977435


I assume we're still under Notice Me Not, so as he looks around, cancel Notice Me Not and step forward.
Say 'We have heard your desperate thoughts and I have come to relieve your pain. All I ask is for something simple, and small. What is your command?'

Roll for Persuasion

rolled 9 = 9

"My name is unimportant. What is important is what I can do for you. Tell me of your woes friend and I can help you."

rolled 19 = 19

>>17977451
This. Rolling as well.

>>17977451
He jumps back a bit as you cancel the spell. "Oh fuck, there y'are. What are you, a kid? Th'fuck can you do for me? Get my job back? Kill my boss? Get outta here. You can't help me for shit."

rolled 12 = 12

>>17977486
"Your boss can be made to disappear...I know people..."

Give off that creepy demonic aura.

"Just say the word, and I'll have it done."

rolled 20 = 20

>>17977486

Cast Darkness on him, and snar:.
'I am no child. And I WILL have more respect, or you will taste my wrath.'

Cancel Darkness and lower your voice:
'But if you truly wish your former employer dead, I can arrange it.'

Roll for Intimidate.

>>17977535

That was meant to be *snarl

rolled 8 = 8

"Indeed I can help you get vengeance. Tell me of your boss. Where he lives. Does he have gaurds? For the deed to done all I need in return is a promise that when he is dead you will give me something in return."

You snarl in anger and envelop the man in darkness. As he whimpers in fright, you make your displeasure known.

"I am no CHILD, fool! I demand respect, and you will give it to me!"

You allow the darkness to vanish.

"But, if you desire something, I can give it to you for a price..."

He shies back away from you, bumping into the wall behind him.

"F-fine! My old boss. He hired a dwarf to do me and my best friends work for a lower wage. He lives topside, goes by "Mick". Big guy, can't miss him, goes to the Drowned Duck."

rolled 7 = 7

>>17977640

Become the embodiment of charm. 'As you wish.'
Cast Notice Me Not.
'I will return, when it is done, to claim my price. Do not attempt to run, that would be... most unwise.'

Make our back to the surface and try to find our bearings.
Rolling for Tracking.

rolled 18 = 18

>>17977640
Smile casually. "Consider it done, mortal. I shall return for payment once the job is complete..."

Recast Notice-me-not and head for the Drowned Duck.

>>17977707
It takes a bit of wandering, and brushing off a guard who calls for you to head inside, but eventually you reach the Drowned Duck inn. It's a ritzy affair, covered in pomp and decoration. Inside a Dwarven woman mans the counters while an Elf delivers food and drink to the patrons.

rolled 20 = 20

>>17977743

Ok. Find a suitable perch to look over the bar and try to work out which one is Mick. Pay particular attention to anyone larger than average.

Roll for Perception.

rolled 8 = 8

>>17977770
I would roll, but dat 20. Anyway, yeah, let's get a good vantage point over the bar; perhaps on a support beam.

>>17977770
You notice a tall, broad-shouldered man with shaggy black hair come down from upstairs, a woman in each arm. He appears finely dressed, and has jeweled rings on every finger.

rolled 4 = 4

>>17977814

Hmm. We wait until he leaves the bar, either outside or back upstairs, before slipping out after him.

As a side note, what's the weather like? I know you said cold earlier, but is it clear, rainy, snowy etc...

rolled 9 = 9

>>17977814
Wait for him to get alone, then approach him as if we're a child.

"Excuse me sir? Are you the great Mick?"

>>17977831
>>17977853

Wow, we had some terrible rolls there. Also, I'm pretty sure it's just us in here.

>>17977831
You noticed a light falling of snow as you came in the bar.

Eventually the man motions for the women to leave, and they make their way out. He heads up to a room and closes the door behind him.

rolled 19 = 19

>>17977870
Head up and knock on the door. Then, do >>17977853.

>>17977879

This. No need to roll really, just wanted to say I like the idea.

rolled 9 = 9

After confirming he is Mick and once you get close enough to him start spamming Shock.

>>respected fffearc

Yes captcha that is our goal. To be respected and feared.

Walking up the room and knocking, the door is answered by a now shirtless Large Man. He looks down at you, not seeing anything through the obscuring blanket and spell.

"Excuse me sir, are you the Great Mick?" you ask.

He laughs a bit, and then his expression turns dark.

"Yes. What do you want?"

rolled 8 = 8

Act like we have a message for him. take our hand out from under the cloak as if we're grasping something and when he reaches for it Shock him.

>>17977910

'A man downstairs told me to give this to you.'
Hand him a folded up page (that happens to be useless) from the spell book.

As he studies it, hit him with Shock as quickly as possible, then Darkness, then shock again, until he passes out.

rolled 11 = 11

>>17977910
"Oooh, can you show me your craft. My papa said you were really good at it. Can I come in, please? Papa said you were really cool."

Rolling to sweeten him up. Once we get inside and he closes the door, then we evaluate the situation. We can possibly kill him without resorting to shock, making the death more natural.

rolled 1 = 1

>>17977933

Forgot to roll.

>>17977938

Wish I hadn't.

This is definitely the better idea. >>17977935

>>17977905
You reach out a hand and press it to his chest. The shock knocks him back on to the ground. You press it to his chest, and continue to pump electricity into his vital organs. You hear a sizzling POP and a several snaps. As he finally stops writhing, you look up to notice that he's bitten through his tongue and stopped breathing.

"OI, WHAT WAS THAT NOISE?" You hear from downstairs, followed by someone beginning to run up the stairs.

Actions?

rolled 11 = 11

>>17977951
Darkness in the hallway. Hide the body under the bed, then flee.

rolled 14 = 14

>>17977951

Damn.

Grab the rings off his hands, cast Notice Me Not, and run into the room. Hide behind the door for the moment.

rolled 20 = 20

We can just him the book entirely... would probably occupy his hands for that split second we need.

>>17977927

Kinda shoddy rolls hah. Rolling for a second shock after
the first fails / doesn't do enough damage.

>>17977963
You spread a field of darkness in the hallway, and you hear cries of surprise and anger from whoever was heading upstairs. You push the body under the bed, and push open the window. You jump out, using your wings to slow your descent into the alleyway. You still hit the ground hard, and roll across the ground. You hear someone shouting from above.

rolled 9 = 9

>>17977975

Cast Notice Me Not. Find a quiet, abandoned house to lie low for a few hours, eat the bread and catch up on some sleep.

Rolling for Hiding.

rolled 5 = 5

Notice-Me-Not then sewers. Its time to collect that soul.

rolled 18 = 18

>>17977992
This; time to collect.

You cast Notice-Me-Not and run for the nearest hatchway, slipping into the sewers as quickly as possible. You seem to have shaken your pursuers, and you eventually find the old man again, and he seems to be fishing in the filthy waters with a ramshackle pole.

"What, back already?"

rolled 13 = 13

>>17978017
"Oh yes; I keep my promises quite well."

Give a devilish grin.

"Your boss has met with his maker, just as you wished..."

"Now, about your payment..."

rolled 13 = 13

"It is done mortal. Time to pay. The ultimate Price. Your very soul!"

Take your reward.

>>17978017

'Yes. I have held up my end of the bargain, mortal. Now it is time for you to do the same.'

Absorb his soul.

rolled 13 = 13

>>17978049

"He is dead. And you owe me. You owe me your very soul, mortal."

He sighs, and slumps over.

"I guess this was coming anyway. Never was a good man anyway. My...soul is yours."

Something small and round flies out of his chest and into your hand. It's small...and a grimy...but it's a soul, dammit, and you earned it!

WAIT WAIT WAIT...

I wanted to finish the story of the goul who killed for boots with his slowly growing pet, the blue slime named chill, along with his not so bright healer friend, and her muscle wizard brother!

rolled 5 = 5

>>17978075

Swallow it triumphantly. Feed off his despair for sustenance.

I assume we level up now? Do we gain a new spell?

>>17978076
If you can e-mail me a summary of what you remember (I don't got SHIT in my braincase about what happened) I can run both this and that.

What happens to the old man, now? Is he dead or does he keep living without a soul?
What do we do with the soul, can we use it to sense the old man or do we just gain spellpower?

You swallow the small orb, and absorb his soul, feeling a rush at the wave of despair radiating off the man. You feel more powerful, but...how?

OPTIONS
>STRENGTH
>MAGIC
>OTHER (Suggestion)

>>17978118
The old man is crying off in the corner, very much alive. He simply will not have an afterlife of his choosing, as you have absorbed his soul. What happens to him when he dies is up to you. You can sense his presence, however.

>>17978123

Magic. It's our greatest weapon, so may as well get better at it.

Also, do we change in appearance? I'd imagine we grow a bit, maybe look a bit older and more commanding.

Turn to the old man: 'Cease your whining. If you serve me well I will see to it that your afterlife is not as unpleasant as you think. If you displease me, however, I will personally throw you into the Lake of Fire and watch the Forked Beast tear you apart for all eternity.'

Roll that Bluff. He's going in the Lake anyway, but we might as well get some use out of him.

Also, I like this idea >>17978137 about Polymorph.

>>17978137
Gonna just go with the highest roll as you guys are pretty much the only ones here. I'll be taking an hour or two long break real quick, and then start running this again.

Your skin and flesh feel like quicksilver. Though not completely capable of changing internal form, you are now capable of manipulating your skin tone, hair color, and facial features. You can also make small changes to your physical structure.

I hope I just didn't doom us.

>>17978171
Sweeet!

Give it a go and try to look like a street urchin. Can we manipulate our clothing as well?

Also, go with what >>17978160 said about talking to the old man. We might have ourselves a frightened servant.

With our Changeling ways, we can now create more elaborate personas to trick purer people.

>>17978160
You have also gained a few inches in height! Congratulations, you look less like a child and more like an adolescent youth. Let's just hope you don't start growing hair in any uncomfortable places now.

The old man whimpers, and nods.
"Anything! As long as I don't go to the pit!"

(Aaaaand gonna actually take that break now. Hope you guys had fun.)

>>17978188

We did. Cheers OP, I await your return eagerly.

rolled 3 = 3

Hmm useful. Immediately see if we can change our skin to the same color as the sewer walls. That and the Notice-Me-Not will be the next best thing to invisibility.

rolled 20 = 20

I say we change ourselves to look more normal. Light skin, Dark hair like the inhabitants of the city.

So who else wants to grow up to be a succubus one day? We don't even need to actually sex anyone, we can make them hallucinate to think that we did.

>>17978222

Hmm, I was thinking more about the Spider.
We end up with a whole network of soul-slaves to commit our crimes and goals for us, relying on our magic and shapeshifting ability to rule with an iron fist.

Not saying succubus won't be part of the process, but we could be so much more.

rolled 14 = 14

Nah a succubus is a dead end job. I want to be a Demon Queen. Ask our new pet about the city and if theres any other mortals he is aware that would accept our 'help.'

>>17978244
>>17978252
Of course, I didn't mean to imply that succubus be our end goal, simply one of the ones we should strive for.

rolled 79 = 79

>>17978275
Succubus is a job that has a lot of potential for career advancement. After all, sex is one of the few things that a lot (like seriously, a fucking ton) of fucking morons are willing to sell their souls for. It's a sweet gig that could be a stepping stone to really fast advancement to something else later which doesn't involve having to have sex with worthless mortals.

>>17978295
Agreed. Sex sells like nothing else.

rolled 53 = 53

>>17978301
The issue is that I fear it would become fetish fuel. I agree that being a succubus is probably the most profitable route we could go in-character, but in terms of metagaming, I feel like it would attract lecherous cretins who would see it as fap-bait. Do you think there's any way to prevent that? If not, would you rather tolerate Those Guys or purposely go a route which stands a harder time being seen as purposely erotic?

>>17978350
I don't think that /tg/ generally goes for fetish fuel unless it's made clear to them that's the intention.
Remember Frost Giantess Quest?
As for prevention, we can do it as I originally suggested, and pull an Emma Frost. Rather than actually having sex, just make the victim believe that they did through forced hallucinations.

Even if we do get Those Guys though, I believe that they will be manageable and reasonable. It's /tg/, not /v/.

rolled 8 = 8

>>17978426
I don't think we can get a contract to work unless we ACTUALLY do the act promised in the contract. Since the act is 'have sex' rather than 'make me think we had sex,' I think that it would be necessarily sexual. However, I would prefer if we had it fade to black or something and presented it as a means to contractually gain power rather than an act which actually grants stimulating gratification for us. THAT type of sex can be saved in the unlikely event that our character, in the distant future, gets a mutual lover.

I say go with succubus and ignore "fetish fuel" bullshit.

>>17978484
It's all in the wording. We can be vague and leading.

Instead of making a contract that says
"Your soul for one night of sex"
Make one that says:
"Your soul for one night of unimaginable pleasure".

As long as we never specify what we're doing, it shouldn't be a problem. I do agree however that it should be a fade to black in either case. Might get pretty creepy otherwise.

rolled 61 = 61

>>17978508
>>17978525
Agreed. Well, I'm glad we're all in agreement, then.

rolled 6 = 6

I'm still against it but ya defiantely fade to black if we do go that route. I prefer going the murder, information and wealth route.

>>17978534
Yup. More ideas until OP gets back?

>>17978572
They aren't mutually exclusive. Just a matter of focus and flavor.

rolled 23 = 23

>>17978572
I say we should go that route BY MEANS OF gaining souls as a succubus. It's just too profitable to ignore.

rolled 43 = 43

>>17978581
Well, we should think about what we're going to do for food, money, housing, that sort of thing. I don't want to live in a sewer. At all. Now that we can change our appearance to look more human, it shouldn't be too hard, as long as we get a source of monetary income. Maybe sell our new minion as a slave or cheap labor?

>>17978609
As to that, I'd suggest we take the soul of a homeowner next, and then pose as their daughter or niece.
Perhaps someone a bit more upper class.

rolled 1 = 1

>>17978658
I think that's a bad idea until our shapeshifting abilities improve or our size and apparent age normalize. Otherwise we'll be a homeowners "bizarrely rapidly aging" daughter.

>>17978681
We'll just become some other homeowner's daughter then.

>>17978681
Fair point. What about going back to the kid who summoned us in the morning? We're sure as hell not going to be his familiar, but maybe we can teach him a bit about how to do his binding better next time in exchange for food and shelter - with the condition that he never summons and binds ourselves.

Lasts us a day, and makes a good fallback point if we wind up needing it.

>>17978731
I like it. Wraps up a loose end, directly benefits us, and it even screws over our competition at the same time.

We should probably consider the idea that we'll eventually be in a situation where we're forced to fight. To that end, what sort of powers should we cultivate for self defense? Assume our current shock spell isn't going to cut it.

rolled 12 = 12

>>17978850

I say keep pushing polymorph. Even if we're not particularly strong, Shock followed by razor sharp talons is going to be pretty lethal.
We might be able to quick polymorph some sort of natural armour, bone plates or something.

>>17976707
One of the main players from the first thread and I just wanted to say after reading nothing but the first post: Fuck you, and everything about you. You are everything wrong with /tg/.

>>17978093

Decided to skip more towards the middle to see if it got better. And wow. Fuck ALL of you. OP, please kill this thread. It only disgraces what we had in the first thread with our ghoul, hunger for boots, pet slime named Chill, dumb as a rock cleric who we had slotted for Stockholme Syndrome, and her big brother the muscle wizard whom we hoped would train us to be a muscle lich. Sounds corny as fuck, right? Well guess what. Fuck you, because it was corny as fuck but it was awesome at the same time and we did it without being fucking immature asshats who want to pretend to have sex with NPCs. Fuck, this made me rage.

You were a co-opting asshole in the first thread, so go cry someplace else and stop pissing all over yourself in here.

How was I a co-opting asshole, please explain?

>>17979037
Not gonna lie, didn't know what co-opt meant so I went and looked it up. "To select (someone) for a group or club by a vote of members," it is from Latin cooptare, "to choose as a colleague or member of one's tribe"
I think you may have the wrong word.

WOW you're an asshat. That's not at all what we're doing.
If you're going to just sit there and scream at everyone in the thread for not doing everything your way like a four year old throwing a tantrum, then you can take your nagging shit and get the fuck out.

Alright, I'm back, what the feck is going on.

rolled 9 = 9

Been fun so far. We've barely started and OP's been good at ignoring the more trollish suggestions.

>>17979057
I think he means that you completely took over the thread and didn't let anyone else have any real input.

>>17979075
Then explain to me why the first posts have people who want to become a fucking slime girl so that it can be "monster girl quest" and then when I skipped ahead after seeing that the imps won the vote and I find that you want to become a fucking succubus so you can sell yourself for souls? Fucking explain that!

>>17979076
Just read everything before and after the dumbfuck

Right, anybody mind summarizing anything that y'all would like to see in the future for this quest, and then make an action to continue?

And please take arguing out of the thread. I've posted my e-mail, bitch at me there. Or set up an IRC channel where you can all bitch at each other.

>>17979112
Hey Danny, cool your jets, you're obviously suffering from a sore anus-hole. No one else in the thread has given more then 2 shits about it. The OP has been doing a decent job of ignoring trolls to, so go derail some other thread.

>>17979090
You know, I can see where you would think that since I was a very active member of that thread. In my defence though, it wasn't just me. There were about 5 others. And it really wasn't just doing what I wanted, I didn't have a single succesful roll for anything and we ended up doing a lot of stuff that I actually spoke against like killing the guard.

>>17979112
Go. The fuck. Away.

Read the rest of the dictionary you looked up. You are the third one, asshat.

I still haven't read through the thread yet, but are y'all telling me that the only posts I managed to read were not seriously considered in the thread?

>>17979126
We were mostly just planning what general direction we wanted to take the character, and then Danny Phantom came in and started flipping his shit and calling everyone names.

>>17979112
I explained this if you'd just fucking calm your nips and read the thread instead of jumping to conclusions and making an ass of yourself.
See:
>>17978426

>>17979160
Ok, how about a summary of what's actually happened as you haven't read the thread?

The demon got summoned by a very bad novice wizard. Escaping his bindings easily, they ran off into the streets. Going into the sewers, they found an old man, and entered into a contract for his soul. They killed a man as the contract required, and returned to grab the Old Mans soul. That's REALLY all that's happened.

>>17979160
Slime girl was disregarded, and succubus was suggested a way to gain souls without ACTUALLY touching any filthy mortals, AND was suggested as a "maybe in the future" kind of thing.

You ASSHAT.

rolled 6 = 6

Ok, now everyone's happy, can we continue? Please? I want to find out what happens to Chloan.

>>17979207
Agreed.

Well OP, I'll suggest that we return to the house of the kid that summoned us and strike him a deal:
In exchange for teaching him how to properly bind a summoned creature, we get food and shelter for as long as we need it with the caveat that he can never summon and bind ourselves.

Okay, well, you know what? I'm an asshole. I'm sorry for kicking in the door and screaming at you while holding a toy gun to your face. I'll just be leaving with my head hung in shame and I hope you guys enjoy yourselves.

Ok, if we're done bitching now, let's continue.

Chloan, you find yourself standing in front of an old man cleaning himself up as best he can after a weeping fit. You have claimed and devoured his soul and become a changeling through the ingested power. As you consider what to do next, a voice can be heard in the back of your skull, like a buzzing whine. Eventually, it coalesces into recognizable sentences.

"CHLOAN, MY CHILD." It booms.
"I SEE YOU HAVE CLAIMED YOUR FIRST SOUL...MOST DON'T GET THAT FAR."
"RETURN TO ME WITHIN A WEEK, AND WE WILL DISCUSS...TERMS."

The pain of the voice fades as quickly as the source does. Your mind feels...unclean, to say the least. You recognize the voice as that of your sire.

>>17979230
I'm glad that you learned humility from the experience. I know that I myself would not be half the person I am today without having faced humiliation. I forgive you.

rolled 19 = 19

shapeshift ourselves to be more human looking. Light skin, dark hair, as attractive features as possible.

>>17979245
How easily can we return to The Pits?

Also, acquire a more human-like form. A child would be ideal.

rolled 4 = 4

>>17979245

Ok. I'm going to be paranoid and assume he's going to claim at least some, if not all, of the souls we gather in the next week as part of his terms.
Which means we need to get more so we can compete, or at least make it not worth his while to try and attack us.

We question our new soul-slave about other homeless men who would trade favours for souls.

You alter yourself to look as a human. Your horns shrink into your skull, your tail fuses into one of your legs, and your wings shrivel up into nubs. Your skin lightens in tone, and your eyes become a bright, but human green. You now look like any other one of the citizens of this city, though somewhat attractive. You still appear young.

>>17979279

You must escape your binding to this world given by your summoner to return to the pits, or find a wizard to create a portal. However, bindings not actively maintained by the summoner naturally decay over time and can be forced asunder by a powerful enough demon.

rolled 4 = 4

>>17979325

So, given the fact we had a newbie wizard, after a week our Master (presuming he's a fairly powerful demon) will probably just rip us back to the pits. Sounds good.

I propose we go and find that newbie wizard and, in return for teaching him how to summon properly, he'll work for us, not as a soul-slave, but as a vassal. We could use him to draw others in.

>>17979350

Goddamn, two 4's in a row. Never going to succeed in persuading that wizard.

Rolling to assist!

(Right, sorry for the delay, had to walk the dog real quick.)

You leave the sewers and wander back to the dwelling of Eric the Wanna-Be-Wizard and his Mother. You slip into the alley behind his home and climb up the old, pitted wall, coming to the window to his room. Peering in, you see that he is inscribing runes on the floor again, and looking around for something. Perhaps the spellbook now in your possession?

Knocking on the window, he wanders over and opens it.

"Who the hell are you?" He says, looking at your new face.

the thumbnail makes it look like he is sucking his own dick.

>>17979392

Let your face flash blue for a second, then say, "Let me in or I'll just break in."

>>17979392
Drop the disguise for a moment.

"Your tried and true friend, Eric."

Smile as we climb in through the window and sit on the window sill.

"You know, I've been thinking..." Pick at our nails. "...perhaps I was too harsh on you. Even the greatest warlocks had trouble when starting out, so I thought: /Well, maybe Eric's a good pick after all./"

Lie to his face.

"So, to smooth things over between us, I vote we give each other a few gifts. I teach you how to properly summon and, in return, you give me your allegiance. No soul attached, in case you were wondering..."

rolled 7 = 7

>>17979399

This.

"It is I, the Imp you summoned, fool. I was thinking that, perhaps after some time to mull over things, you'd be more receptive to a deal...but not for your soul. Perhaps something smaller? I could, perhaps teach you to be a proper wizard, and in exchange you give me...something."

He let's you in, quaking slightly.

"I'm not giving you my soul, you know! I'm not...I'm not stupid!"

rolled 20 = 20

>>17979428
I think these should be the specific terms of our agreement.
1: we will tutor him in magic
2: he will provide us with room and board as required
3: he will never use magic to harm or bind us in any way
He will only lose his soul if he violates the agreement (because breaking any deal with a devil instantly voids your soul). If we break the deal, the deal is just off.

>>17979453
"Yes, yes; I wouldn't dare ask it of you."

"How about...your servitude? Sounds like a fair trade. I give you the tools and you perform them for me."

>>17979464
Those actually sound pretty ironclad. Can anyone think of any noteworthy loopholes? I mean, it obviously doesn't preclude physical violence or him trying to get allies to bind us, but I can't really think of anything else.

>>17979453

'I wasn't expecting you to give me your soul. Not that it would be worth much. No, I was thinking of far more... material benefits.'

Sit down on the floor.

'I'm going to be staying here for a while. In return I will tutor you, but you will never use your learned skills against me. If you force me to leave or turn your magic against me then your soul is mine.

I, on the other hand, can walk away whenever I choose with no consequences.'

Smile.

'This could be the beginning of your path to greatness. If you want it enough.'

Scruffy the Janitor Seconds this motion.

>>17979495
Actually, that was 1d100. I wasn't trying to roll to have it turn out well. That was just a dice roll still in my email field from a different quest. Unless he actually asks us to roll, I think that we only stand to hurt ourselves by rolling.

That said, don't tell him about the consequences of breaking the deal. Those consequences are in every contract - you don't have to tell people about them. Just tell him the actual terms, not that you'll be foreclosing on the collateral that is his soul if he breaks the deal.

>>17979530

Good points.
Retract the part about the consequences, merely that we can walk away at any point.

>>17979547
Fluff the us walking away at any point as a point in his favor. That "...and at any point, I may walk away and we'll be done with the deal forever, no consequences beyond that. You'll be free and rid of me when (if) that happens."

>>17979495
Eh, he's rolling 1d100s so that's actually a pretty shit roll. ButIwillallowthisfornow.

After giving him the spiel (Minus the consequences for breaking the contract), he thinks on it for a minute. He finally smiles, briefly, for the first time since you were summoned.

"I...I accept."

>>17979530
We roll a d20 for success.

"Now, where'd you learn to summon like this?"

>>17979612
He hands you the chalk.

"Uhm, well, from the book you took...I bought it from one of the men in the sewers. He said it would make me a great wizard one day. I've been trying to teach myself, but it hasn't been working out too well."

I mostly just need you for food and a place to relax for now, so I'll just stop by every evening for a while to see what you want to learn and to get something to eat. I'll relax in here when I don't have anything to do too."

Climb in the window. I doubt we're hungry since we had a loaf of bread already.

"By the way, do you know anyone who might want to sell their soul? People whose spouses had affairs, people whose daughters have been raped, that sort of thing? I would find that... useful in a way that would seriously help me help you."

>>17979624

"Alright then. First of all, you'll be needing this back."

Throw him the spell book.

"Draw your ring again, and I'll make corrections. You're going to successfully summon a wraith by the end of tonight, or I'll kill your mother."

When he turns pale, laugh, and assure him you're joking.

>>17979628
> I mostly just need you for food
Do we even eat?

>>17979624
Raise our brow.

"Well, your amateur troubles are over. Here, open to page 3; we're starting with the basics." Give him the tome back.

>>17979643
He tries to laugh along with you, but it sounds forced. He does the long, hard work of drawing out a summoning circle, before allowing you to go over it. It's wrong in almost every place, and you practically have to redraw it line for line. Chastising him for his failures, he sits down on the bed.

"So, uhm, do we summon it...now?"

rolled 9 = 9

This requires careful preparation, several items must be sacrificed before we can even begin the chanting! I'm beginning to wonder how for hell's sake you were able to summon me in the first place!

Nice get. And yes, excellent point.

>>17979769
Aiding him in the ritual, he begins chanting the words. The room visibly darkens, the candles flicker and go out, and eventually a dark form begins to shape itself inside the summoning circle. The cloud of malevolence tests the bindings, and finds them up to the task. It remains silent, before manifesting a face in the center of the dark cloud. A purple-skinned man with a topknot and a beard, with strong masculine features answers your call.

However, then he spots you.

"WAIT, WHY'S SHE OUT OF THE CIRCLE."

>>17979879

Ok, we're going to need a bit of info about what kind of a demon he is.
Sounds genie or djinn like.

[By the way, really enjoying this, cheers OP]

Tutor, Contract, bored... take your pick

>>17979912
This.
>>17979898
And weren't we gonna summon a wraith?

Be right back, eating dinner.

>>17979964

Good point. It doesn't sound very wraith-like though, so I was curious. Maybe by giving him a little bit of a boost we caused the spell to bump up a few notches?

>>17979879
I really hope this familiar teaches him magic and, as a result, the boy tries to break his contract with us. I really, REALLY hope that.

>>17979912
"MASTER? WHY I"
The summoned creature breaks off into a coughing fit.

"Oh by the gods I can't keep that up for long. Alright, fine. So he's my master? What's he want me to do, clean his room?"

Eric nods.

"You've gotta be shitting me! I've got better things to do!"

>>17980064
"Such as? He might have a better use for you, if he knew your talents."

>>17980092
"Well, first off, why's an Imp getting to run around without any bindings and ME, a 10th class DJINN bound to cleaning dirty socks?"

You know 10th class Djinns to be the shittiest type of genie. Incapable of granting wishes, they rely on their shapeshifting ability and ability to create objects to fulfill their masters desires.

rolled 12 = 12

>>17980109
because you suck and can't do any magic at all... And we can also do the bit of shapeshifting you can do.

>>17980109
"Because he fucked up with me, so I entered into a deal with him to help him stop fucking up. I'm going to be a succubus someday, though - and someday soon. Congrats on getting to meet me so young. Anyway, kid... Actually, what's your name, kid? Anyway, djinni can shapeshift and create objects. He should be able to help you quite a bit. Just treat him with respect - he isn't just some chump, even if he doesn't have a high rank. It's always good for a summoner to respect his summons."

>>17980109
Because the brat sucks at binding

>>17980109

"Because I'm smarter than you. The kid gave you an order. Chop chop.

Now, Eric, is there anyone you can think of who would need my assistance?"

"Because, my dear Djinn, you are crap at magic and can't really do anything I can't do myself."

He bites his lip and turns a darker purple.

"Fine, fine. What's the terms of the contract? I clean your room, I get what?"

Eric turns to you for assistance.

>>17980218
"Offer him something comparable. What would you pay another kid to clean you room? Give him a little more than that - he's better than you, even if he's not as good as me."

>>17980218

"Give him some of your memories. I recommend a few months from the age of two to three. You won't really miss them, and we do love to experience the world through your limited senses."

>>17980258

"And when I say give, I mean lend. Don't literally give them to him. That would be foolish."

"Just pay him with money, you'll regret anything else." Eric gets out a few coins from his dresser and holds them out. The Djinn nods, and eats the coins, and begins sweeping his cloud around the room, organizing things and cleaning clothes and sweeping the floor. Within minutes, the room is entirely spotless, and the Djinn disappears in a puff of smoke.

>>17980302
"Well, that went rather well. Now, do you want to try to summon and bind a true familiar, or would you rather summon things on a case-by-case and task-by-task basis to get some practice? I recommend the latter. You don't want to mess up like you did with me, right?"

>>17980302

"I've filled my part for today. You did well. Memorize that summoning pattern, and I'll test you on it later. Get some rest. Repeated summoning in a short space of time is draining."

As he goes to sleep we head out into the night to find another soul or a way to obtain money, with which to buy mortals. They do so love their gold.

rolled 20 = 20

"Well done. You summoned a being greater then yourself and bid it to do your will. Now you just have to actually get practicing drawing those binding circles. I will not always be around to help fix them and even the least creatures you summon can harm thee if improperly bound."

rolled 6 = 6

>>17980302
Congratulations, you just had your first summoning. It was halfway decent, but I had to do just about everything. You gotta practice your rune and circle writing a lot more. You got any paper/parchment or something you can use to practice it on?

Congratulations on ordering around a greater being.
Tomorrow we'll get to work on getting you a familiar.

>>17980329
You leave out into the city streets at night once more as Eric goes to bed, trying to figure out ways to earn money. Perhaps you could panhandle, or find a steady job?

rolled 6 = 6

>>17980410
Or we could mug people in dark allies using Shock. Just sneak up on them, shock them, and take everything of value. At the end of the night, pawn everything that isn't coins.

>>17980410
Or find a rich person and make a deal with them. Something like taking care of some competition in exchange for a weekly stipend forever after. The deal will have the standard silent caveat - if we walk away, it just ends, and if they walk away, we get their soul. So, let's try to find a rich person that needs some work done. Where do we start, chaps?

rolled 12 = 12

>>17980410

After considering it, we decide to rob a few wealthy houses. Jewels and riches have fallen out of vogue in temptation circles in the last few decades, being viewed as unsubtle and lacking skill, but it is a tradition, and we don't exactly have time to waste.

Find our way to the richer neighbourhoods and scout around for a few likely houses.

rolled 13 = 13

>>17980410
Search out some more hobos willing to give up their soul for something mundane.

rolled 13 = 13

Lets head to a richer part of town. Cast Notice-Me-Not. We can rob someone. We won't get a soul outta it but we will get money. Look for someone wandering the streets. If there is nobody up and about look for a house that appears better then the rest and we will try there.

>>17980452
Yeah, since we have food and shelter covered, I don't really give a shit about money (for now). Let's get more cheap souls. We're in no position to barter our currently rather paltry skills yet.

>>17980452
>>17980504
Searching the streets, you find three who seem to be "Down on their Luck." A young man lying, bleeding in the street from a knife wound to his leg, a woman and her children begging for food on the city streets, and a leper.

rolled 17 = 17

>>17980552
Go to the man with the knife wound, his troubles seem to be the most... acute. Easier to have him give up his soul to heal him or something. Oh wait, we don't have healing magic. Still, we can offer him to search for his killer and take revenge.

rolled 8 = 8

>>17980552
Offer to save the man in exchange for his soul. Cut off his leg, then cauterize the wound with shock.

Offer the woman and her children a leg of meat in exchange for their souls. When they agree, give them the leg.

Nothing we can do for the leper I don't think.

>>17980552
Our priorities are, in order, the bleeding man, the woman and child, and the leper.

"If I save your life, will you pledge your soul to me?" Try to use mundane first aid. If that doesn't work, offer him vengeance.

"Would you trade me your soul in exchange for getting some food in your little girl?"

"I can't cure your illness, but I can get you other things."

rolled 9 = 9

>>17980596
>>17980593
>>17980586
If he refuses the offer, we just let him bleed to death, yeah?

>>17980593
This. Super twisted and ironic.

rolled 5 = 5

>>17980593

That is EVIL. I love it. Providing a roll for this.

Walking up to the man with the knife wound, you see him clutch at it, frantically trying to stop the bleeding.

He looks up at you, blood oozing between his fingers. "Please, for the love of the gods, get help!" he exclaims.

You offer to save him in exchange for his soul.

"Wait, what? My soul?"

How do you convince him to give you his soul?

rolled 3 = 3

>>17980596
this here.

rolled 7 = 7

>>17980623
"If you don't, I just let you die. If you do, I save your life. I won't even punish you when you die. Hell isn't necessarily an unpleasant place, as long as you don't end up with a cruel mistress. Considering how short your life is starting to look, this might be your only chance ever to pick yours."

rolled 7 = 7

>>17980623
Look, I can either let you bleed to your death, and maybe drag it out a little bit, or I can help you live your life to the fullest. You're still young, and you have plenty to live for. I might even track down whoever did this.

rolled 16 = 16

You can die here, alone and friendless. Or you can live. The choice is yours and the cost is such a small thing.

Cast darkness on him. Make him think his vision is fading out.

rolled 9 = 9

>>17980623
"Would you rather die? I wouldn't punish you in the afterlife or anything. Just help you live a whole hell of a lot longer than you stand to live now."

Wait, so...let me get this straight. We promise to people who's souls we devour that we're going to be nice to them when they eventually die and go to hell or whereever they head since we ATE THEIR SOULS.

So why don't we start getting magical abilities to create miracles and start a religion? Be a nice demon. Eat their souls, but send them to our heaven.

rolled 5 = 5

>>17980669
Ooh, I like the cast darkness idea

rolled 8 = 8

>>17980685
Because it would face too much opposition from other organized religions. We would rather be lazy and sneaky.

"You can die here, cold and alone. Or, you could live a full, long, happy life. And when you die...things don't have to be bad. If I get your soul, I'm not going to torture you for fun. And besides, are you really sure of where you go when you die?"

You cast darkness on his eyes, and as his vision fades he cries out.

"It's a deal! Fine, take my soul, but save my life!"
He passes out as he screams this at you, and he's very pale. There's a lot of blood on the ground.

How will you save him?

>>17980703
Why don't we set up shack in relatively unpopulated areas? Or maybe see if there are any colonial efforts, go out and corrupt them once they arrive in bumfuck no where. We gotta start an empire! Think big here man.

rolled 20 = 20

>>17980724
Try to stem the bleeding using cloth from his shirt, maybe use very very small bursts of shock to cauterise the wound.

rolled 15 = 15

>>17980724
Tourniquet. Put his belt around the topmost part of his leg and pull it tight as fuck, then buckle it. Is arterial spray going on? If so, leave it at that, he'll lose the leg, but he'll survive the knifing. If there isn't arterial spray, apply pressure to the wound until it clots, then carefully and slowly loosen the belt. He'll be on crutches for a while, and may walk with a limp, but he'll be fine.

rolled 5 = 5

>>17980756
This. Some bandages would help in the second case too, but this. If there's arterial spray, he'll need to be taken to someone who can perform an amputation. I expect that's not the case, though. If his femoral artery was nicked, he would likely have been dead long before we got there. It takes less than a minute to be dead outright - and unconscious far sooner - with a sliced femoral. So, tourniquet, pressure, release of pressure, and then making a bandage out of his shirt should work.

>>17980747
>>17980756
Ripping cloth from his shirt, you tie it around his upper thigh, pulling it as tight as possible. The blood flow slows, but doesn't stop entirely. You press a hand against it, and though he awakes, screaming in pain before passing out again, the wound is burned shut.

As the contract is fulfilled, a small round bauble raises from his heart. It is a pure, light blue, and larger than the hobos soul. Much larger, in fact.


>Actions?

rolled 12 = 12

>>17980787
Consume it. Get some kind of usefully marketable power, like being able to create items from thin air, with it. We can use that to summon food for the mother and her daughter.

rolled 3 = 3

>>17980800
Yes! Because fuck that djinn. We're better than him and we can do everything he can do - and more.

>>17980800
Holding up the soul, you consume it. It's glow fills your body, and you feel...good. Nothing has ever felt better than this act, but as always, there is a choice to make.

>Power Gained?

rolled 3 = 3

>>17980822
Creating items from thin air. The conjuration of material goods.

>>17980831
>>17980852

Mouths open up in your palms. You know that they are capable of creating small items on command. You are also taller, finally breaking the five foot barrier. You feel...powerful.

Oh, almost forgot. What do we want to see more of/less of next quest thread, what do y'all want to do, and what should I draw for the Quest Image next time instead of
>Impsuckinghisowndick.jpg

rolled 6 = 6

>>17980936
Well, from what I understand, we are aiming to be more powerful in the short term until our size stabilizes, a succubus in the medium term until we've acquired a lot of power, and some sort of demon queen in the long term as a goal we'll probably never reach but towards which we will always strive. So, we're looking for more deals to make until we become a succubus. So, I dunno, interesting soul-getting encounters, ideally with bigger risks having more than one soul as payoff, with smaller risks having just the one?

As for drawing, I would suggest a drawing of our character in her natural demon form. In fact, I would suggest a new drawing at the start of each thread, to show how the character has progressed and what loot they've gotten. The next quest would probably show our preteen-looking blue demoness wrapped in a cheap, brown blanket as a sort of makeshift dress/toga, horns, tail, and hand-mouths clearly visible..

Know what I mean?

>>17981001
Understood.

rolled 67 = 67

>>17981013
Will you make the picture in advance or immediately leading up to the new thread? IF it's the former rather than the latter, will you post previews here before you have the finished drawing?
