Until it changed to every fifth year. None of the townsfolk were happy bout that, but the drake said she'd been protecting them from other threats and demanded compensation. Then, eleven years after that, she claimed the man she'd taken had died suddenly of a sickness, and she needed a replacement. And the young'un she took, he was engaged.

The girl set off to take back her intended. No one knows quite how that went, but the dragon was in the town square next morning, in a rage. Roaring about her rights, her power, calling them ungrateful, calling them thieves. Saying the valley was hers, and the town was hers, and everything in it was part of her hoard, an how dare some little mammal try to claim ownership over what was the wyrm's by right.

Things changed after that.

The drake, she wanted all the men. Couldn't bare to have them claimed by another. Took them to her hoard, kept them in a cage. The womenfolk, they were to work the land, pay tribute to the dragon, keep the men fed. And breed with them, but only when the dragon instructed. The great wyrm couldn't stand that, they say; you could see her envy, her possessiveness, in her flashing eyes and the cinders she blew. But she had to breed more men, see? Had to have more.

So, one day, a few of the women and girls sneak into the cave while the dragon's at rest. They knew the cave well by then, see. They knew the horde included weapons, on a high ledge the drake didn't think humans could get to. But one of the girls, she scales the rock wall, toes and fingertips, quiet as a dead man's breath. And she passes down swords and axes, gleaming and ancient, to the women. And they break out the men, and they swarm the dragon...

They should have all died. They'd been pampered, their cage well supplied and gilded, but they weren't up to fighting strength. But the drake, see, she couldn't bear to kill them all. She was weeping, big, boiling tears. She loved them. And they hated her, and they wanted her dead. She flew off north, tattered and scarred and heartbroken, and no one's seen her since.

The girl who climbed is the mayor now. But the town's not what it used to be. See, that breakout wasn't the first attempt. The first three tries, they failed... there's a graveyard outside the village, bigger than the living part of the town. They call it ash hill.

We can coexist with the centaur girls and the naga, we can trade with the bovines... but we never trade sex, or people. We don’t appease. We don’t make sacrifices to the dark and lonely things outside the walls. We don’t fuck monster girls.

Moar dimitri monster girl!.

>>18165715
>>18165686
>>18165669

Amen to that. You cede them one inch of compromise and they'll just keep taking until there's nothing left.

When you start making exceptions, it becomes easier and easier to justify crossing those lines, and soon you're selling out your neighbors just to preserve yourself.

Sacrifice is easy to call for when someone ELSE is being sent to the cave. You want real sacrifice? Pick up a sword, gird your loins, and fight with the rest of us.

Roll em! If you're a young buck, new to the rangers, this is a quiz on your training! Tell me how to recognize and neutralize! If you're a veteran, you've probably got field experience; share the tale!

>>18165777

Careful, brother. It's not about anger, or hate. Most m-girls are simple as beasts, and some are thinking beings, cursed with a need. The demons, though... nothing worth forgivin' in them. Them, we hunt.

But the rest, we deal with only when we have to. Keep them away from the town, keep the roads clear. Drive them off when we can, kill when we must.

Remember your training! Salt for slimes and fairies, candleweed sap to counter aphrodisiacs! Spiked armor to keep them off you! Steel codpiece to keep your bits safe, wedding ring to keep your heart true!

You know, in this setting there should be a lot more female adventurers and stuff like that, if for nothing else because half the MGs would leave them alone.

Shit.

Well, I stay out of the ruins it lives in unless I absolutely have to, but if she's got to go down I toss a bunch of flash illusion and firecracker spells then wallop away in the ensuing confusion.

>>18166194
>Cause there's quests aplenty, an I can't draw. If we had a dedicated quest board... ah, well. I like swapping stories, anyway.
>>18166151

Aye, a good third of the ranger corps is womenfolk. But... I wouldn't say they're in any less danger. See, a man, he's got to worry about his chastity. He'll have things coming after him with tendrils, or webs, aphrodisiac perfumes, enchantments... but mostly just grappling. Things aren't trying to kill him, see. He can wear spiked boiled leather and a steel codpiece, and even if he gets caught, he can fight free.

But the lasses... when we have heavy armor to spare, it goes to them. Because for every m-girl that ignores a lady, there will be two that want them dead. A man, they try to take alive. A woman, it's fangs out, straight for blood. And then there are the infectious types. A man can fight off a werewolf and get stitched up, but a woman gets bit...

Anyway, that's why women tend to stick with the caravans, and don't often go on long solo or partner ranges. It ain't that they're weak. But they're more useful trading with civilized m-girl tribes than clomping over the hills in heavy mail, and if the convoy's big enough, they can take a spell-weaver to try and break any curse or infection before they're lost.

>>18166227

Ah, this one here's a good example of why the women rangers don't have it any easier.

Granted, you're not likely to run into one of those unless you caravan out over the plains and into the Western Waste. The problem there is finding an oasis that WASN'T the center of some grand trade city back before the troubles. You want water, you're heading through the ruins.

The flash spells are a good idea. Most wolf-types have keen senses, and making that a liability is a smart move. They're not an overwhelming enemy, but mind your footing; they like to hide their mummies under the sand. I learned that the fool's way. Had heard there were some Anubi willing to trade relics for goods from outside the Wastes. Found the wrong ones. Young idiot, I was, but damn could I run.

Ugh, barely can call that a woman.

Of course, so many of the things out there can only be thought of as women by shallow definitions. But then I'm one of those who holds no illusions of humanity or empathy on this world. There are merely owners and owned here, and the m-girls have not yet begun to understand that a man can indeed overpower them, if they posses the will, knowledge and strength.

Of course, I know a lot of weaker men who think this pink hell is a their own little Peter Rabbit's brier patch and they never get home. That's the difference. I come back home. Only I return with a few prizes on their leashes, de-clawed and domesticated. This time of trial is one that will indeed not end humanity, but those who thrive through it will be a truly stronger species of mankind.

Spending a year as a trailblazer, trying to forge ways through a series of mountains to form a new pass between two towns, I ran into my very first Youko. This little fox is by no means an easy beast to overcome, as she is still a member of the dog family. She's fast, and dangerous when angered.

While climbing one of the mountains, at around three thousand feet up, I ran into her. Having dropped into a ravine to cross, it was the perfect ambush ground, so of course I had drawn my sword. Only, she got me from behind, smashing me to the ground forcing my head underwater till I released the sword. She let me up to get air, and it was a mad scramble to my fight, trying desperately not to eye up her lithe and near cloths-less form.

Unfortunatly, she was two-tailed, and stronger in magic than I was. Her lust spell hit me as I dove to attack her, and I ended up on bottom, the first signs of lust starting to poke at my armor.

As a trailblazer, I needed light armor for fast movement. This was normally a good thing for as long as I stayed on my feet, I could dodge many many things.

With her ontop of me? It was already endgame, and it started early.

SKipping two months ahead, she was a four-tail, and I was effectively her slave. Thats when another trailblazer came along. By this time I could barely remeber my wifes name, or even my purpose. Seeing that man brought in was like a kickk in the nuts, and everything was brought back into sight.

While she played with her new toy, I planned.

>>18166822

>>18166713

That very night, while she slept, wrapped in comfortable fox fur, he was cage, though I wasn't. I gathered up a small rope from the other mans pack, slid it around the little fox's neck, and then pulled. She fought me every step of the way as I dragged her, both of us naked, through the wind, rocks, and a few flecks of snow, to the ravine she had caught me in.

There I was able to force her head under the water, and whisper prayers of purification. Twenty minutes later, my body nearly frozen from holding the monster under water, I let her corpse go, and returned to rescue my belongings and carry on my way.

Never give up young-lings, as there is always a way out.

I'll never forget the night I learned that my husband had been taken by harpies.

I told him the roads were too dangerous this time of year, that we could make due with what we had for another few weeks, it was just the two of us back then, in our little log cabin. And he said that he had fought off goblins and hungry dryads before, and that he would be back before sundown with fresh fruit for me to make that pie that he loved so much...

I waited for two days, standing at the threshold of our home, straining to see the glint from his axe as he came down the dusty path. Instead I got a caravan of rangers reporting that a huge flock of harpies had been rolling through the countryside and snatching up people, taking them away to their filthy nests for god knows what, food, sex, amusement. I didn't know, and I didn't care anymore.

But you can be damn sure I was going to get my husband back. My old breastplate was a little rusted, a little dinged up, but I oiled the straps and grabbed my spear, that still felt so familiar in my hands, boarded up the house, and went with them. I would die before I would let another one of those feathery bitches would claw out a woman's heart the way they did mine.

>>18166835
>>18166859
This is what I'm talking about. I'm certain also that you'd be an excellent student in the mind magics now that you've been exposed to them for such a time.

I've been hired once or twice to rescue men that have been taken, bee girls, or driders most often. It's not even the fighting or killing I invariably must do to free a target, but the knowledge that it's ultimately futile. That in a small way, it prolongs the damnation of humanity to its weakness.

Rescued or left to their fate, the weak will remain weak. Even if they are well guarded and never taken again, such weakness passes on, not in some foolish genetic way (as some have theorized is the cause of my own conditions), but in their gaze upon their child while thinking of the perceived heaven they once had. Such distraction is a thing that a kid picks up, and will instinctively hold inside until they are themselves enslaved by some creature out there. Rescuing some sappy damsel's 'one true love' does nothing for humanity.

It does everything for humanity.

For if we lose sight of that true love, that ideal that we fight to preserve, then we might as well just let the monsters overrun us. If you've ever seen the look on a girl's face when I bring back the boy that she's pledged herself to and wants to spend the rest of her life with, safe to her arms, then it makes everything worth it.

I once knew that love. And I had it taken from me. But instead of just giving up, I fight to make sure that just one more woman never has to feel what I felt that night.

The video Elvira posted of her cosplaying as Hannah Minx was funny as fuck.

>>18167384
Elvira cosplayed as Hannah Minx? As in, you don't mean Hannah Minx cosplayed as Elvira? Show me this!

So how does one deal with Elves and Dark Elves? They seem pretty vulnerable to me, but apparently they manage to survive even going up against things that are much tougher in the wild, so I assume they have some means of holding their own.

>>18167431
Son, you don't deal with elves. Elves don't deal with you. Elves aren't monsters by nature. Takes some dark evil magic to turn em, just like a lot of monsters. Bunch a prissy bitches too though. Take it on themselves that they're better than humans. Of course, they can't hold back forever, but there's not a special trick to it. Just keep your gear stowed and a friend or three with ye.
Dark elves though, well, they're rotten through and through. Got it worked through their heads that men are slaves and they've got the magic to make you believe it too. Same adage as always. Don't fuck monster girls.

Raw recruit here. Got a 27.
Mummies. Undead, physically strong. Blessed weapons and holy water should be effective.
If ambushed? I'd say put some distance between you and it. Avoid melee engagements unless you're wicked prepared. If I'm on the offensive, I'd say put something blessed on my armor. Give the fiend a nasty surprise if it grabs me, create an opportunity to douse the blighter in holy water. Not sure what magic this thing has, though.

Anything I missed, sir?

Dunno about this holy hoo hah you're jibbering about, but mummies have got dry skin son. Get those bandages off (as counter intuitive as that seems) and they can't move on account of getting the sex shakes like you wouldn't believe. Their whole body is just one big erogenous zone.
I swear, what they teach you kids in basic these days... Blessed weapons. "Uh, excuse me mam, would you wait while I go and find a priest, I didn't quite come prepared."

>>18167431
Magic and clever wit recruit.

Elves have hunting parties and weapons, and beyond that, they've got powerful magic. Ain't much what can take the full brunt of an Elven raiding party. That what can, they're smart enough to avoid.

Thankfully, it ain't often you come across elves what are too lustful, save when it comes ta dark elves. Their kind is trouble. Wound em though, and they'll back off. They ain't looking for warriors or heros. They want weak and defenseless targets.

Women folk oughta be 'specially wary of elves, regular and dark alike. Regulars 'll kidnap women folk and force em ta breed with captive men and sometimes elven menfolk too. They make slaves of em when they're done.

As for dark elves, they just ain't much for competition. They'll kill any human lass on sight.

If ya ever get taken by surprise by their kind, hit hard and fast like an animal. You can take em down in a single swing if yer any good with a blade. Once you down a few, the rest 'll back-off. They ain't much for dealing with fights.

>>18167649

Fire, lad. Go up like a pinesap torch.

And keep a blade handy, some can animate their wrappings, tie you up. You wear a ranger's slashfree? That's a blade along your bracer, good for sawing free of tentacles, living hair, whatever they try to hold you with.

>>18167873

Captain, which do you prefer for yer slashfree?

A solid, smooth blade, or a serrated edge? I'm a fan of the smooth, since it lets me slash like an extension of my blade, and doesn't need nearly as much maintenance. My partner however, swears by the serrated edge. Says it saws through tentacles and such faster and leaves more ragged cuts. I say it gets jammed damn near every fight and he's always taking a whet stone to the damned things.

If'n it matters any, I'm partial to a battleaxe and buckler in battle and only use a slashfree opposite my buckler, where as he's a fan o' the flail and tower shield combination. Wears two slashfrees at all times.

>>18167809
That's what I get for listening to the town priest. Bastard thinks holy water's the answer for everything. Should have remembered that the little shits burn like kindling.

>>18166101
Recruit here.

Zombies are deceptively tough monsters to deal with. Ya might think, "Oh, its just a lone zombie, slow and stupid, nothing to worry about." However, Zombies almost always move in groups, and if you don't see it's friends, you're already in deep. They tend to congregate around with other undead, and while you're dealing with bigger threats, that slow, stupid zombie'll grab you and never let you go.

Their bite has a powerful aphrodisiac and it'll turn your brain to jelly. Then you become a fuck toy for a goddamned corpse.

When dealing with zombies, go for the head from a distance if you can. If not, the block and counter maneuver is highly effective. If you're dealing with multiple enemies, and have a stronger foe, like a vampire or some ghosts to deal with, remember to utilize crowd control. Fire spreads through zombies something fierce. If all else fails, you can hack off their limbs with ease. It won't stop em, or slow them down, and they can still bite you something fierce, but it'll buy you time while you focus on the greater threat. Remember that the skull is always the priority target when dealing with zombies. Clear their heads and send them back to their eternal rest.

Alright, recruit here again. This time I ignored the town priest's blather. Rolled a 68.
Harpies. These I know how to deal with. Sound-based charming, so earplugs are great if you can get them.
I'd say use arrow fire to ground them or get them to try melee, then bring out a mace or club. Harpies have thin bones, like birds, so blunt weapons should be fairly effective.

Did I do better this time, sir?

>>18168237
No holy water this time? Getting better. What if the harpies capture you though?

Hmn yes, Scholar reporting to travel with your run today Captain...
The Commander has been assigning us "Brainy Types" every since the incident with that errant Sphinx last month. I promise I will be of no trouble, but you never know when a Fuck-Fairy will be beguiling you, a Gremlin needs you to know it's name, or anything else.

>>18168142

I use a small saw blade, myself. Serrated. Get bound, you might not be able to move your arm more'n a few inches back n' forth. But I have to support you over your partner when it comes to weapons. Tower shield is grand for a pitched fight, but when the time comes to run (and that time DOES come) it will slow you down. And a flail can be damned impressive, but it's not a utility weapon; he wouldn't be fouling up his slashers so much if he wasn't over-relying on them, and he wouldn't be relying on them so much if his main weapon could hack you loose when you get webbed.

>>18167997

Well said, lad! Careful with the fire, though. It'll handle a swarm if they're not so soggy, but it's not quick... and they don't stop coming while they burn.

>>18168332
Fuck fairy? That is so not a thing.

>>18168323
Try to break out. If I can't, make the enemy's victory empty by slashing my wrists with my boot knife.

>>18168323

Sir, if captured, the harpies will bring you to a nest. Make sure to memorize the area as you are being brought to their nest and plan your escape route.

They will try to drop you from a severe height and break a leg, or at least wound you enough to take the fight out of you when they get to the nest. If you can, roll the instant you hit the ground to reduce the impact and avoid breaking bones. If you aren't agile enough to do so, be big and tough enough to endure a belly flop. Spread out he force along the whole of your armor. If it's any good, it'll protect you from the type of fall a harpy will cause.

Then, break out your weapon if you have it, though it's likely that the beasts will have stolen it from you. If you're down to your fists, improvise and grab anything in the nest you can find. Bones, discarded armor, hell even just a big stick can help. You'll want to get out of the nest quickly, elsewise you'll be dealing with the chicks, which is the last thing you need. Little buggers whose mouths are at the perfect height to go after your goods.

Escape the nest and deal with any harpies that follow you with melee. Get down hill and start following that path you planned out when they were carrying you through the air. Get back to your unit ASAP.

There are plenty of monsters that que their next attack off of harpy movements and they'll be sure to come running if they hear much squawking.

>>18168237
I've gone up against just about everything, and first thing to do is get a mage to train you against mind magics if you're not strong willed enough to start.

Sure, you can bring earplugs for harpies, seal your armor for slimes, carry delecate wards for undead mind spells, plug your nose for mandragorias, etc, etc. And then you're a damn near immobile, loud, deaf and blind target. Get a mind-wizard, get them to hit you with some strong but harmless compulsions and practice the hell out of resisting them until they are completely naturally dispelled. Then get a cleric to do some divine-based ones, or a hypnotist, or a druggist. You'll find that you get better over time regardless of the actual mechanism of the mind control.

There is no substitute for hardening your will. That alone will give you a surprise edge that can decide a battle. Many m-girls haven't seen a real fight in long enough that they get soft, stop wearing armor, flaunt weak points.

Further, many of them are slightly vulnerable to their own method of control. You resist a ghost hard enough, for example, you can backlash their mental drain back onto them.

Figuring out my summon list. So far I can do:

>Ghost
>Sylph
>Undine
>Gnome
>Ignis

Any gems I'm missing out on?

>>18166227
If you find one in some ruins? That's a laugh. If there's one, there's a whole damn pack, and atleast two Alpha Albino Males. You go into ruins, and you see an Anubite, kiss your ass good-bye and run for it. Stealthily, if you can. Backpeddel and hope that God's giving you a second chance.

Reminds me of the first time I encountered the Anubites...

Recruit here.
Rolled up a 12, so a doppelganger. Damn priest gave his usual blathering speech. I'd say don't trust anyone who travels alone. If somebody gets too friendly or too close, cut them just enough to bleed. I heard doppelganger blood is noticeably different from human blood. Not sure if it's the color or if it smells off, though. If the person getting overly close really is human, they'll understand about rangers being suspicious. if they're not human, keep cutting them until there's no blood left in 'em. Doppelgangers are extremely sneaky, but as far as I know that's all they have going for them. No charm spells or brute strength.

Is this assessment decent, sir?

>>18168386

Hah! I think our esteemed bookish-type friend is trying to prove he's one of the boys by using our lingo. Just a little out of date, is all. Fuck-fairies. Haven't heard that one in fifteen years.

We use the more proper names now, professor. An everyone remember, keep your mouth closed around any winged fey. They think it's hilarious to fly right in. You can keep from breathing their dust in a fight if you're careful, but when they're painting your tongue with it... well, your partner is gonna be dragging your gigglin' ass to safety.

There's one other thing to try if you think your stones are as steel as your codpiece. Unless you're dealing with a Roc Harpy, it'll take at least two to carry you off. Meaning, if you're not paralyzed with fear and clinging for sweet life like any sane man would when he gets over-familiar with the clouds, you CAN fight one off and try to force the other into a... semi-controlled descent.

Sirs, Girtablilu were not covered well in training. Requesting further instruction on how to deal with them.

All I've been taught is that they are deceptively quick, have a sting that'll break any man's will, and are deadly in close range combat. I've been instructed to avoid sandy or rocky areas where they are known to congregate. I've heard tell that blunt weapons are preferable to blades against such creatures. I do not feel adequately prepared to deal with such a creature.

Later days of the Great War. Just after the victory in Gulldar's pass. The West was close to annihilation, and we didn't have much in the way of muscle any more, unlike those fiends who seemed bolstered at every victory.

I was... In the Royal Inquisition, at the time. Still got the badge. Dad thought it an easy way to avoid gettinme conscripted into a Pike and Shot regiment. But that's unimportant.

It was early morning. Dew, fresh on the ground. Small village, further north where it's more temperate. Closest ciy was down in the Thick of it, you all remember the stories of the fighting that went on in Madris, right? Yeah, so..

We were scouring the country side, trying to root-out any sympathisers. Drive off bands of Orcs or whatever. We'd gotten a good few kills before we spotted them.

Black armor, gleaming blades with eyes of red. The hounds of hell, someone called them. They were moving through a distant valley we could see them from our vantage in the foot-hills. They were atleast two thousand strong, headed right for the village.

Doppleganger blood doesn't run like that of a living thing, it oozes pre-congealed similar to that of zombies, but without the stink. It's one of those I know a little too well.

When I was growing up, our town had a Doppleganger problem. Not even the one or two that you get out near old ruins... There was a whole nest of them. They manipulated whole town, causing them to think that human women were themselves dopplegangers or disguised succubi. By the time my "family" escaped (we found out much later that my mother had been replaced almost a year before) the townspeople had burned almost every human female at the stake, and the rumors are the place just went silent after that.

Was a hell of a time... But it taught me what I needed to survive out here.

>>18168808
We booked it back to the village, and ordered a basic defensive action taken. Barricade the main roads, arm the peasents, get the guard towers well supplied with Bolts. The Pikemen and Militia drilled together in the common square and the closest we had to a Military District.

Mind, this fringe village didn't have the Matchlocks we had, back in the day, so we had to rely on Heavy Crossbows for our stoppin power.

It went just as planned. Night was falling, we set fire to a few braziers around the village, and placed metalic marks at fifty yard intervals, out to five hundred feet. It was all by the book, and the Captain-Inquisitor was might pleased. I was, what, nineteen at the time? I had no idea what I was about to get in for. Because, see... Back then, we were slowly adjusting to them wanting us alive. We weren't expecting these brutes to have a hankering for getting our bodies dead.

The battle began with mage-fire, as they did most often in those days.

Break the legs if you can. They've got plenty but they don't like to lose em. Damn whores are whisper quiet and they like to hunt in packs sometimes. The worst part is you'll have lost a man before you know they're on you. The best thing you can do is go back to back so they can't sneak up on you. A shield and mace are best. Keep the stinger off of you while you break their shell. If you can swing it, take an antivenom before hand, to get it into your bloodstream. That stinger... The poison on it is something else. Pure biology. No compulsion to resist. I've heard of some monks that could stay their bodies like that, but that's neither you nor me recruit.

>>18168961

Shut up white knight. In most setting's it's about killing male monsters trying that would love to rape women. We're just flipping it around.

>No one gets laid today.
Keep me from running out there without weapons and armor. Do you know how slim the chances for me are to get something as hot as that girl in your picture, inhuman features aside?

>>18168988
He might be a whiteknight, but your excuse is laughably weak. You might just be the one guy in that thread he's right about.

>>18168961

>>18168911
The heavy Corssbows made this musical, flat "whump" when they fired, and it was with such regularity you could sing a ballad to it. Balls of geistflames immolated a few towers, some set buildings on fire, but most of them... They turned the barricades into massive firestorms.

Did that stop them? Phah.

The Pikemen relaxed a little. Nothing could get across that inferno. The whole first rank was cut down, clean, when the Anubite warriors landed. They catapulted themselves clear over the blaze, just from their natural strength alone.

The battle was a loosing fight. Tactics hadn't changed much, but we knew to protect extremities now from debilitations. That suited them fine, they were aiming to kill anyway.

Not a soul escaped that place that I have met. To my knowledge, I'm the only one. The Captain took out two of the wenches, before one of their males; These big, hulking Albino brutes, covered in gold ornaments, stepped inside and with a flick of his hand, the Captain exploded in fire.

I hid. I'm man enough to admit I was a coward. I hid under a sack of grain for three days, starving to death and thirsty as a thousand man-whores. They looted and raped the town, if it was alive, they killed it. If it was dead, they had their way. If it was rotting, they ate it.

The King's cavalry came by on the fourth day. Rode them down with the fury I've only seen in men thrice-damned. I swear, that day, it was like I was thirty years old.

You don't watch your friends murdered, their remains defiled, and walk away scott free. I've killed everyone of those beasts I've seen yet, and with the Captains own pistols too.

Call it final vengeance.

>>18169010

God Damnit... We've got a runner!

Shit, that means there might be something in our ranks. Alright men, you know your orders. Let's get this idiot locked up and prepare for our full infiltration counter measures.

>>18168695

Right, check the blood. It don't run, it oozes, and it'll be dark: purple, or even blue. And have a few recognition phrases for you and your partner, and a few others if you're in a convoy. They ain't strong, but they're schemers. And cruel... there's a wickedness in them.

>>18168798

Ah, another horror from the Western Wastes. These beasts are why it's always two men to a watch at night in the desert. The scorpion women are real quiet, real soft, and real quick... an' their venom works so fast you won't have time to yell before you're paralyzed. Luckily, they hunt alone; you're on watch and get tagged, your partner can rouse the camp before you're dragged off.

If it's just you and your partner, and you don't fancy both playing cards all night... tie your bootlace to his. If the man on watch gets grabbed, having your leg yanked on outta wake you up in time to help. Saved my partner that way, once. Although I was too sleep-addled to cut the laces before I started trying to hack at the Girta. Pure goddam slapstick, that was.

>>18169010
If that's really all you're concerned about, then the town doesn't need ya, go ahead. Meanwhile, the people whom he actually was intinding to talk to are trying to go out and get food, water, medicines, etcetera to keep their families alive.

Deep down you know you care as well. Anyone as shallow as you pretend to be just up and runs away at before they even get to grow a beard.

>Implying you aren't underage b&...

>>18169035
What makes you think that? I was actualy echoing that accusation of him being a whiteknight, for fucks sake.

>>18169010

Welp, time for an enchantment. Perhaps a memory rewrite so he thinks he got laid?

There we go.

>>18169057
>>18169010

Hmn, Oh no texts says that these are sever signs of a reaction to spores!

>>18168973

A pack of girtas? Well god damn. Crap like that is why we only go to the wastes in full convoy. Must be a migration or mating season thing; the one I ran off wasn't nearly that aggressive. Well, this old man don't know everything, that's why we have these tale-swappin sessions.

You're damn right about the venom, though. One of the few times I recommend more than a sip of candleweed sap. Although only as a remedy, not before the fact... and make sure to have plenty of water handy, cause they're gonna be, ah, dehydratin' themselves. Can be advisable to load them in the wagon and leave them paralyzed til you get to an oasis, don't wanna save them from scorpions to let them die of thirst.

>>18169110
Fine, I'll take the troll bait.
Fuck you cuntlord.
That's it. No discussion, no explanation, just an acknowledgement that you've chosen to be a dull faggy bastard and ignore any sort of reason. Everything is black and white when the contrast is turned up super high, and that's how I peanut butter cup clark kent you're a cuntlord.

>>18169089
That'll certainly be a help. I can't forsee him getting laid anytime soon, fugly bastard as he is...

>I'd like to direct the white knight's attention to the fact that this thread is about NOT having sex with monster girls, and fighting them off or getting away from them, not killing them. Making sure no one gets raped is literally the whole point.

>>18169186
A lot of reports of cockatrices lately haven't there been? Hell, let him out. He'll be back before nightfall, out of breath and cursing in between gasps.

>>18169189
>I'm not even sure what the fuck is going on any more. One moment we're swapping stories, next, someone dumps porn, and then a huge argument right the fuck outta nowhere.

>>18169089
Rewrite him? Pathetic. Read his memories, find what enchanted him, track it down and kill or capture. If he still wants to run, let the wilds have him.

>>18169215
Hahaha, Much as I like the idea, let's not terrorize the kid into castrating himself, hm? Those Cockatrice are nasty pieces of work.

>>18169112

Awwwwwwwww, hell. We got a fungus in the privy again, don't we.

Well, I'm gonna do the rounds and make sure everyone doses up with bitterbeetle extract to kill the spores. Someone ELSE can burn out the shithouse this time.

Damn good thing we caught it early.

>>18169186

Hrmmm...

>>18169235

If we're letting him run as a traitor, then I'd rather use him for magic practice. I'll see if I can put him out of his misery with sympathetic magic, never tried that before.

>>>18169227
>One moment we're swapping stories, next, someone dumps porn, and then a huge argument right the fuck outta nowhere.

Ladies and gentlemen: 4chan

>>18169269
My vote's we have Dragon fucker do it.

...

Where IS dragon fucker, anyway? Must be about the town, or something.

>>18169227
>>ffff thank god I found the thread. Let's see if we can't redirect it back to purpose?

I've got some stories for you, if I might start with the most recent. A lot of these creatures tend to be sneaky - As I said last time I was by here, I was hunting down a Succubi that had kidnapped our baker's daughter for conversion into a lesser succubi. If she had succeeded, nobody would have noticed that the girl was a sleeper agent. Thankfully, I've got her safely in my care now - She's been through the entire holy water supply I have and is bound with a choker that has runes of celibacy on it to prevent any lingering effects of the succubi from coming forth.

They're getting more clever by the day, it seems.

>>18169269

Welp... pass me the bitterbeetle extract and and I'll go get my gear. Got me four or five scarves to drench in anti-fungal extracts. Same shit as always. You want me to burn it all out right, or transplant it somewhere safe so we can get extracts from it? I know them alchemist types can put their roots ta good use. Some sort of medicine I think.

>>18169358
>Shudders

I've stabbed, kicked, killed and ran like a bitch for twenty some years, and never once have I met a monster more... Disheartening, than the ones that get in your mind. It gets even worse the longer you're near them...

>Eyes go distant, being drawn into some past event.

I heard of a Ranger that once got addicted to the shit those bee-ones make. Made him resilliant as all hell, but.. That just ain't right. Not right at all.

Ha. Reminds me of a story a old friend of mine told me.
Said he'd happened on a Blue Oni by her lonesome on a nighttime trip. Ruddy bastard claimed he drank all the sake before she could and talked her down! Ha!

>>18169421
There's a reason we keep them out of the villages. We'll do business with em, but only those trained to. They stay out of our lands, we stay out of theirs, but we share what resources we have.

Claire should snap out of her daze in a day or two though, any longer in that succubi's possession and she would have been lost to us. There are some days where I wish I wasn't a hunter and I didn't have to spend every moment constantly on guard for the slightest threat. Makes me wish I had taken my father's trade.

And I think I know the ranger you speak of. Sometimes I wonder if we have to give up some of the very humanity we have to protect.

>>18169358
>They're getting more clever by the day, it seems.
They were always that smart, they're just beginning to lose their arrogance lately... Which is a hell of a lot more dangerous.

As for the girl, the warding choker is probably going too far. She may have had a close call, but she IS still human, and deserves dignity for that.

>>18169358

Did you at least kill the succubus?

>>18169496
>On that note, how would we go about addictions? Kinda wanna make soulles here an addict to somethin', just cause it's funny.

>>18169583

>Manageable is what I lean toward. Combined with another source it puts you out of thinking PC territory, but in the short term and by itself it's just like any normal drawback

>>18169408

Burn it out. Be through. Try to harvest, you might leave some behind, and we can't have that inside the walls.

>>18169496

Glad you're still breathing, you mad southern bastard. Just mind our customs are different up here. We don't start fights, but we don't get too friendly, neither. It don't end well. And demons, actual demons, we hunt.

I'm out for the night. Goin' home to my Angie. Tomorrow, I'm ranging east; haven't had word from the Bay of Bones in too long, have to see if the road's clear... or if their arrangement with the merfolk went sour. Won't be back for a few days.

Stay sharp. Think of home. Don't fuck monster girls.

>>18169552
While that's all well and good, I'd prefer to woo a girl before having her pounce on me behind closed doors. She's not in her right state of mind - better to give her the chance to preserve her dignity now and rather than give her a night she might regret in the future.

I also am in need of some information - What's the difference between a Mermaid and a Merrow?

>>Finally found the thread, right as I have to leave
>Sticks his head in the tavern

Good ta see ye lad's're up. I'll be in town fer ah few, got sum erran's ta run.

>>18169630

>Proceeds to fuck all the monster girls.

>>18169571
Of course. It's dead, and as per my training, the body burnt and the ashes doused in holy water. I've been doing this for seven years now - I think I know how to kill a Succubus.
>>18169583
> hmm. Make it manageable, so he's not needing it every encounter but depending on what it is, it might change him quite a bit. Is he addicted to Goo Girl Secretions in order to get it up? Or is he addicted to some of the milk of a Cow Girl?

>>18169647
Not much, but I'm no expert on the sort. From what I can tell, though, Merrows are more fishy, and don't look remotely humanoid, wheras Mermaids looks like humans stuck on fish tails.

Merrows tend to be deeper waters too.

>>18169679

Good, good. I've never gone toe to toe with one before, but I assumed just nuking it with powerful spells wouldn't work.

>>18169679
>I'm thinking he got captured by something, and over-saturation of the lulling chems caused him to build up a resistence, and an addiction. He probably just takes enough to keep his hand steady. I'm going more for a draw back than any bonus.
>Westerner's hardly got any mind for sex, that drive got yanked out from under him given what he's been through.

>>18169725
Not really, no. Succubi tend to have a number of magical defenses, being inherently magical themselves. But due to their nature, they tend to wear very little in the way of armor, and they die just the same when you stick them to the hilt. Nuking them with spells does create a nice distraction though, as they'll be more focused on counter spelling you than clawing at my armor.

ITT: /tg/ turns /d/ into a game without the horrific fetishism of FATAL, go figure

>>18169764

Huh. I feel the urge to go toe to toe with one some day, just to test my strength.

>Also, what system? I think nWoD Mage might be good for magic if we change some things up, tone down some of the power levels, and reorganize the Arcana.

>>18169790
That's a great idea. Really. I'll drag your petrified carcass out of there so you're not raised as a zombified body-guard.
>>18169812
>Warhammer Fantasy seemed to be a strong idea, though that was the other one.

>Also, anyone get the feeling that West is Grimdark, while South is Noblebright? Cause that distinct shift of feel makes me happeh.

Les'see, what'll my report be on...

>>18169850

>I'm not super familiar with WF, but I have a feeling access to Slaaneshi and Tzeentchian spells will not be good for my character's place on the slippery slope.
>West is definitely Grimdark. South may or may not be Noblebright, or a subversion depending on how it plays.

>>18170150
>west is grimdark, south is neutral, east is noblebright and north is fucking cold so no one lives there

>Looks around a little bit

Alright, good men. I've got some nightmares which need my attentions. One last story.

If you ever go into the Old West, never go to the capital of Madris. There's talk of a new breed of Beast-women. According to a few friends in that area, some old, Conspiracy-theory level magic and technology was being worked on, and something went terribly right.

I don't know much beyond the stories, but there's talk of steel-infused women around that area. I've not heard nor seen one of these things, so if any of you got any rumors, let me know.

Hah. Buncha fools what think ya need ta rely on forged weapons and th' like. When yer out in th' wilds, th' only weapon ye need ta have faith in IS YER FISTS. They can't be taken from ya, and they aren't somethin' that any enemy ye come across will think threatenin'!

Train up, and learn ta punch like a damned Cyclops. Nothin' puts a monstergirl in its place better than a jaw-shatterin' uppercut and a good boot ta the arse!

>>18170119

Ah bloody fuggin' hell, arachne. M'cousin got caught by one'ah those bitches...

Anyways, m'report. Arachne tend t'live in deep forests and caves mostly, so prevention by avoid'nce is the best method overall, but that could b'said 'bout mosta these devils, couldn't it?

Combat though, that's th'trick wit' these. Most o' these eight legged broads spin webs, and damn straight is it easy to get caught in 'em. Many o' the smarter breed can even twist th'shit inta ropes, nets, an' the like, so keepin' blades or some sorta fire t'get rid of it is pretty much mandatory. However, if yeh spendin' all yer time gettin' rid o' the webs, yeh leave yerself open to the bitch 'erself. If you can, draw 'er away from 'er lair before you engage. I've 'eard stories a few species can "throw" webs, so yeh should always be wary o'that.

Next, many o' these 'ave some sorta toxin they can spread witta bite. S'usually a paralytic, so try and consume a long-lastin' antidote b'forehand.

'Ead-to-'ead combat itself is probably th'easiest part o' dealing wit' these critters. They are usually solitary, an' don't ofter use weapons. Their lower 'alf is often to resilient to injure, but the upper part bleeds nice an' easy. Also, light armor seems'ta be the best option for defense; Keeps 'er fangs out an' lets you dodge anything she might throw at yeh.

That's all I got, sir. I miss anything?

>> I disagree. I think the entire world is Grimdark. the West is primarily grimdark, the south has pockets of noblebright but is primarily neutral, the north is Skyrim, and the east is a wildcard zone of monsters and humans and shenanigans.

>>18170304
>> all of my nope.

>>18170446
>the east is a wildcard zone of monsters and humans and shenanigans.
>shenanigans

>That reminds me:
>http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Jim

It's times like theses that I wish I had some friends.

>If we don't have a DM, I suppose I could run this, but I'd rather play.

>>18170651
Didn't Marcus or someone volunteer?
and does anyone know where I can get the entire monster girl info set?

>>18170773

>I have no clue, but if he did awesome.

>>18170446
>The reason I say the east is noblebright is because almost all of the eastern themed monsters are the nice not-rapey kind, the exceptions being drunken oni and the ushioni

>>18170836
>If we get deaperate, I'm suppose I could do it, but no one would enjoy it. I'm rather blind to stat RPG's and PnP. Never really invested much into it.

>>18170861
>>We're also assuming that we're leaving the "East" as the east. Are we? If so, then yeah. Let the East be the noblebright. Possibly a second continent where we may end up traveling to?

Fuck I missed the thread.

>>18170908

>I'm a forever DM, but yeah I can do it.

>>18170915

>Yay, weren't you going to DM? Either way halo.

>Reporting in, busy as hell tonight.

>>18170914
>Aw hell naw, mass exodus of the humans? That won't end well.

>>18170922
>>18170916
>>If need be I can do it. My DMing experience is Paranoia, but I figure I can make this work. You get to play this time kid, that's for sure.

Let's talk traps: anybody know of good bait that can be used for Monstergirls BESIDES ourselves? I know that a Sudoku book has been used against sphinxes before to some effect, but that's the extent of it.

>>18171044
Some of the more simple or feral ones like shinies. Other ones have certain proclivities too maybe.

Not to get too far into fetish shit but they sure do have a hankerin' for semen.

>>18170914
>It is decided the east is noblebright, unless there is an equivalent of australia in this world, in which case the east is mostly noblebright

>>18171095
>> the monstergirls invaded from this world's australia. It all makes sense now. Because Australia is the testing ground for all wizard creations, as I've seen spiders break into my car that were the size of the hubcaps. That could be the "Far West", from where the monster girls originally came from?

>>18170922
I'd honestly like to, but I don't have the time.

I could play though.

I was thinking playing an estranged apprentice of Karganel, who thought his work just raised too many ethical concerns, and is out to stop him now that he's aware of his plan.

>>18171080
Well, the semen thing is actually that the traditional "Spirit energy" often referred to as chi or ji or whatever can also be called "Sei"

"Sei" can be used to mean semen as well. It's a japanese word pun the translator didn't get.

>>18171131
>And in MG australia it would be rape all day erryday

>>18171044
The dead draws out Anubites. Insects and Fairies love sweets. Were's will head for anything with a pulse, atleast back home they do.

Outside of the basics though, I'm unsure. I'm not a trapper, so this is all just thongs I've noticed on the fly.

>>18171044

I have illusion and enchantment for when it comes to traps, have no fear. The hunters will become the hunted... I think.

>>18171159

>No worries.

>I just noticed there are no Indian/Middle eastern themed monsters on the list, sides from maybe girtablilu, wame with natibe american monsters

>>18171218
>> This raises the question we had last night of how much we're going to follow the MG bios or a Monster Manual. I want to stick to the MG bios but make it more grimdark, instead of pulling from an MM. I do think though that we need to tweak a number of them intelligence wise - how intelligent are slimes? Gnomes? ect. Definitely making an IRC tomorrow night to work on this, if you all are up for running through the list once we get the full list. Is the MG bio set on /rs/?

>>18171258

>Huh. I assume the DM can write some up.

>>18171290
>We also needa Grime up this shit. Way too happy endings for most of these. Not all need it, but I think some are pushing the "But it's okay" direction, as opposed to 40K pushing "Nothing is right ever period".

>We are going extinct after all.

No reason you can't have some of the more "civilized" ones be refluffed a bit, or on an individual basis? I'm not familiar with much in the way of Indian or native american ones, but a Lamia, Naga, or something else serpentine with belly dancer fluff that hypnotizes men would definitely fuel my fetish, since that's basically what you guys are doing.

>>18171290
>You have my Keytar

>>18171368
This isn't a fetishfuel game. The objective is to avoid sex with monstergirls at all costs.

>>18171290

>Irc does wonky things for me, but sure

>>18171394
No rational person would have that as a goal.

>>18171394
Yeah. That's very much so a good idea, hence why if we take this into a real game, I'm so taking as much as I can to negate mind fuckery. I don't want to slip up and land face-first into something that is relevant to my interests.

>>18171417
This is not the game for you friend. Notice the thread title.

>>18171346
Well duh. A lot of these "bios" should end in "And the dude dies horribly."

Some of them we don't really need to touch. The mushrooms earlier in this thread? Entire village can die if one gets in. That's pretty fucking grimdark. Echidna? Fucking slot machine for monster girls so you never know what kind of things she'll have with her. The dragons? Totally grimdark.

We need to have the slimes probably, when a man is finished, be dissolved to make more slimes. Or how a Dark Priest can easily infiltrate a village and slowly turn it to hell.

A lot of this is right now is just "Oh, they fuck you." when really, it should be "Yeah they fuck you, but they do terrible terrible things to humanity. They dehumanize you, convert you, and destroy everything you love. An ignis will burn down your village to get to you if she wants you. Amazons will enslave your entire village and convert you to whatever it damn well pleases. A Dark Slime will come up through the plumbing and force you to fuck it on the toilet before ending you right then and there, before leading a massive uprising through the streets as the slimes clime out through storm drains.

>>18171417
Yeah, they would, if the ultimate end is being destroyed either physically or being turned into a shell of a human with no mind.

>>18166101

>44

"Hmm, salamanders...

I guess it's easy to see them coming, what with the flames and all. Peg 'em with arrows until they get close enough to hit with the salt water. Gotta be light on your feet and carry a long enough spear to not get within that swords range.

Gotta pull this off quick though, they're supposed to be way faster than they look. If it wasn't for the fire you'd never see em coming."

>>18171410
>Use what I use? I have Chrome and use the Mibbit app. Works wonders for me.

>>18171421
>Aren't we supposed to do that though? Confront what our hunters fear? Part of this setting is just how much it gets into a hunter's head. What would that one guy do if he was outsmarted by the Sea Bishop? He said that it had used his dead wife's journals and all to tell him he'd be happier moving on and embracing life rather than fighting for a lost cause or something.

>>18171437
>Echidna? Fucking slot machine for monster girls so you never know what kind of things she'll have with her.

I always thought this would be hilariously awesome

>Goblins

"Gotta get out the pitchforks for these little bitches. A hit with a club like that'll either knock you out or stagger you enough for the rest of them to hit you.

Long pitchforks, catch the base of the weapon in the teeth then twist it out of their hands.

Pull back and make a jab at the legs to trip 'em up and you got enough room to make a nice, clean kill.

'course, you probably ain't gonna have the TIME to do it like that if more 'n a coupla them show up. They ain't good in formation and benefit more being spread out with force like that, so box 'em in and keep stabbing.

>>Just getting my email out there. If those of us that were interested in the world building and the IRC game could shoot me a message, I'll send out a notification tomorrow night when I set the IRC up with the room name and the password.

>>18171641
> I'm not saying we go for full on ERP. This is a grimdark game after all, and if I end up DMing it I intend to run it as such - you'll be more likely to die of being ripped apart by an angry Anubite or being burnt alive by an Ignis than getting raped to death. If your character HAS a weakness though, expect me to try to exploit it a lot. This doesn't mean you won't be entirely screwed - the last time I tried to oust a player as a mutant in paranoia because he was being too silly, he ended up starting a massive Def Leopard riot by doing a levitating guitar solo. Which was his mutant power.
>>He then used his 18 in suggestion to get his way out of it, the smarmy bastard.
>>But that's besides the point - your character will have weaknesses. Your drug addiction, the northerners xenophobia, Southlander's optimism, all of which can be abused. If that means having a Succubi pose as a barmaid to try to seduce you because thats just how these things work, then so be it. If you do end up doing the horizontal tango, fading to black is always my go to for that. >>18171544
If you're skilled at dodging, try to get one to hit the other. It'll make them start fighting each other and then you can make a break for it or take them out once their weakened.

> I -can- DM, but I need people to pick an average day and time(EST) to get together. Not to mention we need to pick a system to use.

I'm leaning towards GURPs or DnD (Use Heroes of Horror Corruption mechnanics to help), Would greatly appreciate commentary.

>>18171743
>Wondering when you'd arrive. Shoot me an email and we can set this all up in IRC later? For the record I'm EST as well.
>I've played 3.5, Pathfinder, WoD and an intro game of WHFRP, so any of those I'd feel comfortable with. Paranoia, my most well known game, isn't really usable for this particular setting.

>>18171670
Well, that's admittedly my Achilles heel. I just can't get angry at fox girls. Monsters, yes... but SO DAMN FLUFFY MUST CUDDLE.

Y'know, a lot of these monsters have some magical skill, while humanity doesn't - how well can you really defend yourself from them? Does Humanity have any sort of ability to enchant weapons? Southlander said he had put that girl under some sort of celibacy thing, but where did he get that?

Things like the Echidna disguise themselves as humans and infiltrate in order to find an adventurer to lure in and mate with her. I assume that will need to change to something else? Since no one in their right mind is much of an "Adventurer" when your race is dying out.

>>Pathfinder, which is similar to D&D enough to make it an easy jump, has an entire Gunslinger class. Combo with an Alchemist, you can even make alchemical bullets for your guns. Not very Grimdark, but definitely something that I could see in this setting. We can then just port the corruption rules and such.

Look kid. "Taking one for the team" is a stupid idea and you're helping nobody, not even yourself. Lead it away if you can, but don't stick around to keep it's attention. Drag it away only as long as you need to before making yourself scarce too.

>>18171850
>All weapons are statted in 3.5 if you look around hard enough.

>Anyway 3.5 is so far the most agreed upon, I suggest getting Heroes of Horror and learning corruption and taint. Both clearly come into play in this setting. I suggest getting every Monster Manual. We're going to be playing world building for a while before we start gaming full on.

>>18171973
Agreed.

I 'took one for the team'. And I took seventeen years to live down such a shame. I saved one town, but was incapable of saving another. 'Taking one for the team', never ends well. We have all had that thought at one point, to sacrifice for the rest of humanity, but quell it. It leads only to misery.

>>18171973
FLUFFY! I DON'T THINK YOU UNDERSTAND!

Also, if you stick around for a while and give the foxgirl a reason to stay put, she doesn't end up spreading corruption around and driving townsfolk crazy. It's called a long-term solution.

You must be the greenest recruit I've ever met. None of these beasts ever is satisfied for long - you're risking your life for time at best, when you'd be better off running and living to fight another day. Just because we hunters stand toe to toe with some of the worst things this world has put forth, doesn't mean that we did so each and every time. More often than not, we turn tail and run. Only when we know victory can be certain or when there's too much at stake to leave, do we EVER stand our ground.

That succubus I took out before? I didn't just ambush her when she was waiting for me to take her down. I ended her when she was at her most vulnerable when I knew that my strike would deal the most damage - right when she had put her head between Claire's legs, just as she was about to begin the conversion. Any sooner and I risked losing the element of surprise, any later and I would have been too late to save her. There's a lot to this line of work you don't know yet, and knowing timing is the most important skill any of us will ever have, no matter what corner of the world we come from.

>>18172082
Almost any other monster can be dealt with using a short-term strategy. But you can't just push a foxgirl off on another town: ESPECIALLY if they have more than five or six tails already. The more tails, the closer they get to the level of a God, and the more their own powers affect those around them.

Better to isolate and control the issue. The fact that alchemists produce pregnancy-preventing potions nowadays helps, too.

>>18172206
Assuming that it doesn't kill you once it realizes you're completely impotent, sure.

You're better off leading it away to, at the very least, buy us the time we need to find a way to deal with it permanently before you give it ANOTHER tail.

>>18172235
The woman takes the potion, genius. It takes some creativity to keep dosing her, but I manage. There are also potions that help me keep my head clear, but I only really feel the need for them on particularly... "eventful" days.

Plus, she's already got nine tails. It's not like I'm making it any worse.

>>18172294
Oh for fucks sake where is that bloody northerner when you need him.

Look - you're buying us a week at best by trying to trick something of that level of power into taking a draught that's designed to inhibit their ability to reproduce and have sex. Once it discovers what you're doing, you're a dead man walking, and it will likely take out its rage on all of us as well. And a pissed off god is not something we want storming the barricades.

Dear gods you do NOT send aid to your enemy. Not only would we never wish the embrace of a monster on one of our own kind, but giving them one of ours strengthens their abilities in many cases. Succubi, Ghosts, Golems, everything ends up getting stronger. At the best, they're killed. At worst, they're consumed for food or turned into slave labor. in those Iron Hearts quests, you don't see them exiling their idiotic soldiers to the enemy, they kill them out right. Same logic here. You don't send possible manpower or food to the enemy.

>>18172710

> I can see some of the appeaser human tribes handing them over, but the idea of penal troopers seems like it might be fitting in some cases, as well as straight up executions. On the whole, if we give them humans of any kinds, more monsters show up.

Something werid has been going on in my village lately, A bit of background first. We are a fairly small village out on the frontier, we live in a forested valley between two mountains. Our only real claim to fame in a unique herb we found recently. Looks a bit like red mint and only grows in shady areas near a stream, we’ve taken to calling it neverlust what makes it useful is that if you brew it right it will temporally kill the sex drive of just about any living creature. Aside from the obvious uses it can also make dealing with the more intelligent monster girl tribes a bit safer. It never seems to occur to them that we might be drugging them back.

A few seasons ago just a little after we started exporting the stuff a dragon lands smack dab in the middle of my village and demands that our leaders come out and present themselves. we aren’t defenseless but we don’t have anything that could possibly hurt a dragon so the village elders go out and talk to her while the rest of us hid in our homes. Most of us figure she’s taken a fancy to some poor lad and is going to demand we turn him over, after spending what seemed like an eternity waiting to see which one of us she was after she simply leaves, just up and flies off. The strange thing is she didn’t demand that we hand over one of our own, but that we turn over all of the neverlust we have on hand, gave us a day to get it packed up and ready for her to carry off. we didn’t have much choice in the matter so we give her what she wants, and hoped that’s the end of it. of course it’s wasn’t, appeasement never works with monsters.

She comes back about a week later and lets us know from now on we will be giving her regular tribute of neverlust, or else. At first we just figure she’s just seeing how much she can squeeze out of us, but the weird thing is she’s been going out of her way to help us afford our tribute. The first time we came up short due to the number of monster girls in the woods increasing for some reason she simply tells us we owe her double the shortfall before the end of the season, and the next day there not a single living monster in the woods. Wasn’t the last time she helped out either, she drove off bandit attacks a time or two, and hired some sort of plant thing to cure our crops of a rather nasty blight. I’ve heard of dragons taking tribute in gold and men before, but the stories usually end with the beast killing everyone after taking everything of value. Has anyone heard of a dragon acting like this before?

>>18172646
Like I already told you people, I -can't- simply run it off. Trying to keep it away from other people and as occupied as possible is the one option I have.

This far west, we've always had to make due with what we've got. This situation is no different.

Heh heh heh...master said that my obsession with fire is costing him too much in reagents and replacing laboratory equipment, so he told me I need to help out the rangers until I learn to control myself.

It's nonsense, though! You accidentally lose track of yourself watching the flames of the burner flicker for a little while, half the lab catches on fire, and suddenly you're an imbecile and good-for-nothing.

But look! I'm already in perfect control of myself! I'm paying perfect attention to everything around me! Now, while I'm waiting for my quiz results...I think I'll just add a little more wood to the fire here...hee hee hee...so pretty...!

Interesting. First and foremost we would love to trade with you for such an herb, though I'm sure you know that.

Secondly, it seems likely that she's moving her product at another market in exchange for something more directly valuable to her, I would guess a tribe of elves who want to keep themselves under control.

>>18172772
>>18172766
Aye, it's pretty common in the south. To be honest, I'd be wary of any dragon, but so long as she's not taking your men and simply demanding the neverlust, I doubt that you have much to worry about. Unless she starts increasing the demand she has, then you might run into some problems.

If she's helping out though, that must mean the neverlust has some sort of property that we don't know about. We need to figure this out as soon as possible to see if we can't capitalize on that.

Lad, learn to control your impulse - your lust for burning can be used against you by any number of these creatures, and when push comes to shove you had better have my back if we're working together. I'm not going to allow some rogue fire elementalist to come by and turn you against me - you'll find steel in your belly before you can even try to slip your poison into my food.

Kappas are a good test for you - they're primarily water based - their weak point? That bowl. They derive power from water, and that bowl holds it for them. Get rid of the bowl, get rid of the power, get rid of the threat. Same goes for a LOT of the aquatic ones - their hats tend to be dangerous. More than once has a man been blinded by a Scylla's ink pot and a Merrow will never let you steal her hat.

>>18172802

Lad, I ain't got tha years left ta spend ma time explainin' all tha ways ye done killed yerself an everyone ye love.

Ain't too sad ah gotta end yer little life, but there ain't no honor in what's gotta happen to anyone else in yer villiage.

Odds are they're all dead an tha fox 's been trickin' yah, but we gotta check all tha same.

>>18172780
That..could be any number of things. Using it to push out an enemy dragon from territory. Using it as a stockpile in case of some event. Much of the lore I have had the...displeasure, of learning, tells us that some dragons are those humans so far gone in the corruption of magic. Perhaps a subconscious result of a vestige of humanity to avoid breeding. It is difficult to tell. Do you have other dragons in the locale?

>>18172890
Guess I know where we'll be headed then tomorrow? I'll be back mid day once I deliver Claire to Alricstead , and I'll be sure to bring a fresh jade wards to absorb her powers while we take her down. No sense in heading in without proper protection.

Kappa also like...pickles, right? Or was it cucumbers? It was something green and slender and those are the only two things coming to mind. I also think they're one of the more civil ones...

Master warned me about Ignis; said I should stick to coastline caravans since elementals have trouble manifesting near their opposed element. He thinks me being around the foil to fire would also cool my temperament some.

Also...aren't most of the not-slime not-elemental aquatics afraid of fire? In fact, aren't most not-fire types afraid of fire?

>>18172890
A year and a half ago, there was an orc raid on my town. I got careless, and an orc got lucky: you know how it goes sometimes. Point is, I can still chop firewood if I'm extra cautious, and I can dress myself with some difficulty, but when it comes right down to it nobody will trust a lieutenant with no sword-arm. I was a liability. I was pitied. And in a shithole town in the far west, I was about as useful as perfume on a skunk. Or a skunk-girl, but I don't think there is such a thing... yet.

Point is, I agreed to "keep the fool thing company" because I was tired of being seen as useless. If you really need to check the town out, feel free. I still travel twenty miles on horseback every week to pick up supplies there. And if it's all an illusion, what does it matter? Chances are you'd see the same thing I do anyway. As far as I'm concerned, I'm doing my job keeping this fox the hell out of town, and I'm not about to get lost in my own head questioning what's real and what's not.

>>18173015

>Shakes his head
Ain't no one useless 'til they decide ta be. There's herbs as tah protect yer mind from illusion,a dn tha Jade Pendants'll absorb tha magic she gives off long as she ain't directin' it straight at us. I can tell she's got yah just by listenen' teh yer talk.

not sure, like I said I we are a frontier settlement, area around us is not that well explored. I don't think there are any other dragons, course before this started I didn't think there were any at all. if its gathering neverlust for a purpose what odds do you give us for surviving once it has enough?

>>A figure, clad in black armor, warily looks around, before heading in and closing the door behind him.

Heard from someone this is the place to swap tales and advice about those monstergirls out there. My first piece of advice to you all: don't seek employment from a church, their pay usually tends to be lousy. But if you MUST seek employment from one, at least make sure it's not one of those shady types that employ agents to do their dirty work. Such as me. Be ESPECIALLY wary of ones that are delighted that you have a Salamander for a "partner", wheter you're willing or not.

My name is of no concern, but I am a fell knight under the employ of a church, who shall go unnamed due to regulations, their "garbage man" if you will, and I have the unfortunate luck of a Salamander head over heels in love with me, following me where ever I go.

...By the gods, I need a drink.

>>18173062
Alright. Let's go NICE AND SLOW for the folksy northerner. This chick's pretty much the closest thing to a deity you're likely to ever meet. So how do you expect to "sneak up" on that? How long do you think you'd last if she turned her full intent on you, jade or no? We considered the possibility of conflict ourselves, and ruled it out as an option because it would be what that southlander would refer to as a "losing battle".

At best, I'm spending time getting my left arm up to snuff while simultaneously keeping a god-like power from wiping my town off the map. At worst, I'm the last man standing after yet another town-wipe out here. In the first case, I'm handling my shit. In the second case, you and yours would be going on a suicide mission.

So do you see where I'm at here?

>>18173149

>>18173174

Woah, hold up. I just got in, and barely heard the gist of that conversation. I'm pretty sure I heard the words "deity" in there, and I'll tell you right now, killing deities is not in my job description, nor do I get paid enough to fight one!

>>18173193

>>18173204
Nah, he's really asking you to kill a nine-tailed foxgirl. It's like a dragon, but worse, because it can fuck with your mind. And trust me, trying to kill god-like beings tends to backfire in a big way.

As for your issue, I'm afraid I'm not going to be much help. From what I hear, salamanders can be nasty bits of work. I'm improving with my left arm, but I'm still not nearly at that level.

Allow me to explain. First off, the church I work for is pretty lenient towards monstergirls. If that is setting off some alarms in your heads, I would not blame you. In fact, I would not be surprised if they were monsters themselves in disguise, having me take care of any rivals or other monsters that would make them look bad in the eyes of others. Why have I simply not quit, or possibly slaughtered them all already? For the first question, they have a surprisingly good amount of pull. Should I just up and bail on them, they will black list me from any other job. The second being, I am but simply one man, despite my combat prowess.

With that out of the way, allow me to tell the story of how I managed to idiotically make myself the potential husband of a Salamander. After this drink.

>>Proceeds to start drinking.

>>18173217
>concerned that a bunch of guys led by an old coot's hate-boner might end up wasting their lives fighting a battle that doesn't need to be fought
Yes, because clearly placing a value on human lives means I'm a brain-addled coward. Also, have you ever at any point stopped to consider the fact that a mind-controller would probably avoid having someone running around blabbering about their existence? If the old girl's as clever and scheming as you seem to think, it would be pretty incongruous. But that's probably just the MIND CONTROL talking.

Anyway, swing by if you really want to, but whatever you find I would still caution you against angering a god-like monster. Some things are best left undisturbed and out-of-the-way.

Peace and long life.

>>18173317

I ...really gotta side with this guy. Either the town is already dead and there's nothing worth protecting, or else they're under a small measure of safety that you're about to compromise.

Walk away soldier, there are other battles to fight.

>>18173317
Ain't got anymore breath ta waste on ya, lad. We'll deal wit ye, yer master, and the poor bastards yeh corrupted. It's what we do.

>>18173221

Ugh...a potential mind rapist. I am thankful I have yet to be assigned to deal with any that can do that, aside from my encounter with an Alarune and her pollen, but that is another story.

Right, how I managed to screw myself over....well, it was months ago, and the church had an assignment for me, regarding a Salamander terrorizing some travelers on a road, looking for challengers. "Well, this shouldn't be to bad," I thought to myself, "it's only a meer lizard, after all."

Apparently, I had forgotten how good just a run of the mill Lizardman can be with the blade, let alone a Salamander. That, or I was incredibly plastered when I thought that. I would not rule out either.

Skipping ahead to what maybe some uneventful days later, and I found her. As I drew closer to her, I could not help note her rather...flimsy choice in armor. Scaled top, scaled armguards, scaled shoulder pads, scaled knee guards...and nothing quite covering her "underneath" save what one might call underwear. Obviously, this did not help me to take her seriously. Maybe if I had, things would be different.

Sir! I need a bit of advice.

I was doing usual border patrols, and we've spotted a group of Witches lead by a Bahomet. I was lucky to get back to report before they even found us, but I'm sure they're planning a raid for more men at some point.

>A gray cloaked figure quietly enters the tavern, a trail dust falling from the hem of his cloak in a thin cloud.

Any advise for travelers in these parts? Home land had mostly passive herders, kept 'em at bay with trade and toys, but I ain't used to having to high tail it outta the woods with a sect of lusting anthropods chasing after me, stingers at the ready.

Friendly reminder to muddy the main entrance to your towns and keeps with salt water every third day. It'll keep out the lazier slimes.

>>18173370

If you happen to encounter one of the Lizardman family, for the love of god, cast away your pride, and your blade, and just run for it. You may be branded as a coward by them, but at least you won't possibly become their potential mate should you win...or go into a stalement, like I did. *sigh*

That too is a possible concern, but if they break off pursuit to try and find somewhere to ford across, I have enough to get out, strip down, and let my pecker get a little sun before it shrivels into a prune.

Course then I have to worry about anything lying in wait around the river. Or worse, IN the river.

Ya'll don't have a problem with inland merfolk, do ya? Heard of a few bands in the larger lakes, but they tend to have conflicts with the other fresh water folk, frogs and salamanders and the like. If they are fighting, I am fine. If one has won over the other.... I'll have to look into a good rust proof cod piece.

>>18173406

Lad, I hate ta say this, but yeh might be seriously fucked. The Southlander said he'd have Jade Wards when 'e got back from 'us mission, but I'm not sure we can wait tha long.

Iff'n yer slippery as ah shadow and quiet as tha inside tha foxfucker's skull, ya might be able ta get tha drop on one o' them an slit it's throught. Genrlly doesn't work twice on tha same group though, cause they start settin' wards.

Like tha caster said, we'll roun' up everythin' we can find an' come a'runnin' but wit no charms or 'erbs, yer gonna have a helluva time fightin' magic.

>>18173496
I know that magic is seriously bad news Sir, and I can roughly guess that they're planning a raid for men.

But I still need combat tips for dealing with Witches and Baphomets, in case any poor soul has to deal with it. Besides, any help with resupplies is a godsend.

I've personally began to set up a quick assassination plan to down the Baphomet before she even notices, but I still need advice in case I screw up, since I'm still fairly new in this department.

>>18173515
>>18173496
>The cleric pipes in.
"I must preface what I'm about to say with a confession that I am horribly inexperienced in matters of combat, having only just been officially accepted into the faith as a Journeyman last week. Please correct me if I blunder in my understanding.

Would a spell of protection against evil work? If I remember right it doesn't have any material cost, just needs a divine focus, which I have. Spell makes it easier to get out of dens of evil creatures easier. As an added bonus, makes it so evil things can't even touch ya'. If we could get this on the entire town somehow might turn things around. How we'd do that though, I got no clue."

>>18173515

Godsweep lad, don' try tha shit on the baphomet! They're tha strongest goddamn monster's out there, and they can wipe out tha nine tailed fox shit tha one bastard was pissin' hisself over.

Combat wit' tha Bahomet is pointin' alla tha strongest mages yeh can find at it and runnin' fer cover.

Downin' ah witch ain't never easy, but they was human once, and they share our weakness's. Put an arrow in 'er heart, slit 'er throat while she sleeps, bash 'er head in while she's talkin' teh someone else an' she's dead. Iff'n yeh got tha equipment an tha skills, ah few of yah can even take her in ah straight fight, meanin' one where yah get tha drop in her an she ain't got any good wards up.

This ain't ah job fer rooks, this is ah job fer everyone.

>>18173548

A divine focus? Huh. I've only ever specialized in ripping apart and piecing together the psyches of others, chucking curses and fireballs, and summoning. Wards against evil sound pretty solid though.

>>The fell knight continues his story.

The moment I drew my blade, she had the look of a cat eyeing a canary. She said...something, I don't know, at the moment, I didn't really care, I just wanted to be down with the deed as soon as possible with little effort. Probably something along the lines of "Finally, a good fight!" Or something.

Perhaps if I had actually used the blade skills those of my occupation are known for, I probably WOULD have actually won the fight. Alas, I figured her unworthy of even using those skills on. Now, as I said earlier, the Lizardmen tend to be great swordsmen, though they pale in comparison to the ferocity of a Salamander. So, you can imagine my surprise when I nearly got my ass handed to me! By the time I realised just what I was fighting and got serious, it was already too late, for I had become quite worn down by her. I could not even use one of my stamina stealing sword techniques, for she left me little chance to breath.

Fortunaltly, as luck would have it, both our blade broke as the clashed, unable to handle such fierce treatment.

I couldn't help but breath a sigh of relief, though I noticed that she was breathing rather..oddly.

And then she started shouting about how I ignited the flames or her passion, her one true love, shit like that. And then she proclaimed herself my "wife." I'll be honest. I freaked the fuck out. So much so, I turned tail and ran like a little bitch right back towards the church. Screaming.

"WHY DO YOU REJECT OUR LOVE, SWEETY? OURS IS MEANT TO BE!" "GO AWAY YOU CRAZY ASS BITCH!"

That was more or less how our exchange went as I ran. Must've been amusing or sad to a passerby, depending on how they looked at it.

>>18173548

Ye got one ah tha saints ah old in yer back pocket there lad?

>>18173552
So now that I've got it covered that trying to hit the 'heart' of the group via stealth is a very bad idea, any suggestions on how to deal with a Baphomet, and how to kill it once the reinforcements arrive?

Still, this advice should at least help on migrating the problem for now on the witches at least, but I doubt it'd last for long.

...Also, I'm still in hiding due to somehow grapping the attention of the Baphomet during that previous patrol, and I need ideas on how to deal with such a thing before I have no choice but to go into self-exile in the vain hope of preventing the village going down.

>>18173570
"Nah, nothing like that sir. Just a small black book I keep on me at all times. Spell also isn't as powerful as it may soun', very limited for the positive effects it does 'ave. First, at my weak level I can only cast the spell on one person at a time. Second, spell only lasts for a minute. So if we don't have better clerics with us it'll only serve to make sure one of us gets outta there alive to sound the warning calls to other folk.

>>18173582

S'basically an evil god lad. Closest thing we'll ev'r see ta one at least. When tha cavalry comes, we'll hit it with everythin' we got, and hope like hell we can piss it off enough ta convince it tah leave.

>>18173552
An inari or a youko may not be as physically powerful, but its demonic energy and corrupting influence make it every bit as dangerous. To belittle ANY dangerous foe is a rookie mistake.

That type of dismissal gets good men killed.

>>18173591

>facepalms

I know ah protective spell from ah hole in tha ground lad.

Tha Baphomet won't give even tha slightest fuck though. Tha witch's migh' laugh iff'n they notice it.

>>18173608

Yer still here? We've got bigger problem's'n yer traitorous ass righ' now.

>>18173615
Aye, it certainly isn't much. But it's somethin'. Has the added bonus of helping folk shake off mind affecting enchantments, so there is that. Do ya' know of any spells that would be more useful? I'm new at this spell casting business and am always looking for advice.

>>18173591
Also, I know for the fact that Magic attracts Magic. I know because my father used to be a shining example for the Guard. But the moment he began to delve in magic, BAM! We sudden;y had to deal with an invasion of Magical Monsters, my father was executed afterwards.

I'm guessing that it's due to said event that I'm suffering from some family curse, with having to deal with that Baphomet.

>>18173566
i would laugh at your predicament, if i wasn't sure sure that either you or your "wife" would run me through for my insolence.

>>18173566

I could wipe her mind for you...

>>18173657
This really isn't magic in the conventional sense. It ain' arcane but divine energy. Much like what the holy water used by some to deal with the undead.

>>18173649
>>For the record, this setting is going more WHF for it's magic and such

Don' get me wrong lad, yer part o' "Everyone" So yer comin' along ta this rumble, but these thing'sve got magic beyond yer wildest thoughts.

>>18173657

Tha magic's how we got tha damn monsters in tha first place, so they do seem connected. Havin' said that, ah do like havin' ah mage at mah back against tha magic monsters.

>>18173635
Just a bit of advice. You sure seem big on handing it out, but you're kinda crap at accepting it when it's given. And as much as I'd love to get you outta my hair, I'd prefer if it didn't take a baphomet ramming a scythe blade up your ass to do it.

Just don't underestimate it, and don't assume that pissing it off will make things better.

On an unrelated note, why do my players ALWAYS attack things they should know they can't beat? Every time I give them a challenge that involves sneaking or avoiding combat, the start kicking in doors and throwing fireballs.

>>18173682
But even if it's not Arcane, but Divine, it's still energy. So it's going to be a light for some Magic Sense or something.

>>18173690
>Aye, wasn't sure what the magical rules were so took the role of a novice that could easily be mistaken in his casting checks. If ya' don't mind me asking what does WHF stand for?

>>18173566
you could use that... thing to your advantage you know... as a possible henchwoman/lackey, would definitely be useful in a fight. its wanting to have sex with you all the time may be a problem though... you could always say you follow a warrior's code that involves celibacy...

>>18173691

I appreciate tha concern fer me wellbeing.
>spits
I feel like this is tha only creature tha can't ever be overestimated.
>chuckles

>>Have you met an adventuring party before? I've been in a party that burned down a mountain. To the ground. A mountain. It's what players do. That being said, if you frame it OOC before the game that some encounters will have alternate solutions, and then play along when they try to talk to an obviously combat encounter, they might get the idea

>>18173698
I don't know enough to say for sure, but I don't agree with you. If that were the case using holy water to deal with undead wouldn't actually solve anything because it would just attract more creatures. An' that is the first bit of advice those of the cloth have been given. Granted, I don't know much, but something doesn't seem to add up.

I don't know HOW I managed to keep running for days, especially with all that armor on. But none the less, I managed to make it back to the church. At that point, I probably would've groveled before them and begged them to get that crazy whore away from me.

Oh wait.

I actually did. *sigh, followed by a facepalm.*

The clerics gave me an odd look, before noticing my "companion." They then smiled and said to me "Ah, I see you've taken care of the Salamander waylaying the travelers, AND gained a partner! Well done!"

I could not help but let out a flat "WHAT." To which one of the priests replied "Come now, by being bound together, you've stopped her attacks."

"But I never wanted to be married to...THIS! Nevermind the fact that I had no plans of getting married!" I cried in despair.

"Well, perhaps you should've taken this job more seriously, hm?" The priest's words got colder. "Consider this your punishment, and be thankful we don't cut your pay. Don't even think of having an "accident" occur to be rid of her, we have our ways of knowing." And with smile he added, "Congratulations...newlywed."

At that moment, I was tackled and kissed many times by my "Wife", no doubt overjoyed.

And that is how I royally fucked myself over. If you must take a lesson from my story, then remember that lizards are not to be trifiled with, choose your employers carefully, and sometimes it's better to run like a bitch before the fight rather than after.

>>18173709

>>Warhammer Fantasy. Magic is crazy and eventually drives you mad. Divine magic exists but it isn't particulalrly powerful, although a good priest can fuck a lesser demon right up.

Lads, I'm headed ta bed. Wake me when tha Southlander get's back.

>>18173733
sleep tight, Don't let the bedbug girls bite!

no, seriously, don't let them bite you.

>>18173733

>Night

>>18173728

It sounds like your organization needs to be struck down. Vigorously.

>>18173664
>>Sighs heavily

No, you are entitled to your laughter, at least while she's not around...I actually came her to escape her "affections", if only briefly.

>>18173678
Look, I appreciate the offer, but one, I'm not keen on the whole mind altering thing, and two, the church would probably find out somehow. I should've just gone with being a mercenary.

>>18173710
Oh, trust me, she is. She's saved my arse more times than I'd care to admit. Sadly, I don't think I can get away with the celibacy excuse, not when she walked in on me...polishing my sword, as it were. She was not exactly happy that my sword was not in her hilt, I'll say that much.

>>18173766
By all means, you or any other man are welcome to do so. It's not like they're paying me to actually guard them, per say.

>>Sighs.

It grows late, and no doubt my "wife" is wrecking havoc looking for me. May as well reign her in, lest I get blamed. Tch...I'll probably actually have to..."do the deed" to actually placate her this time. I bid you all a good evening.

>>And with that, the fell knight sullenly leaves.

>>18173728
>you have been waylaid by salamanders!
Anyway, I'm out. And remember kids, let sleeping gods lie, and never challenge a lizard to a swordfight.

Posting. This is my first night out, but I've been studying. Leather gear, sword, knife, book of matches, blades on my wristguards. Here's a tip for other girls my sister gave me (werewolf, two weeks ago, 's why I'm here).

Yeah. Guys are gonna trip over themselves to give you armor, and we need it, especially with the infectious types, but don't get greedy. You're fighting alongside these guys. Every piece of plate you take from them, that's risking their own hide for yours.

>>18174015
Jesus. Okay, Nekomata. The way to do it is let them get attached to a dude as bait, with a bunch of us waiting in the next room over. Let them let their guard down. Might even be able to snap the thing's neck while it's asleep. If it changes back, I fall back in case I get bit. I hate doing that, but not much choice.

How'd I do, sir?

>>18168624
Does some body have a source on this?

>>A loud voice comes from upstairs where the Southlander is sleeping
Not a good idea

>>Also bump.

there's a joke in here somewhere about the secret weapon against monstergirls being young men who get taught to be misogynist and autistic as fuck but I can't seem to make it work.

Bump for some awesome setting-improvement!

>>18175088
Never seen an Ignis myself, but I knew a friend who did. Common misconception that they only hang out in dry places. My buddy, Tanner, he found one near a hotspring. Being a kind of Djinn, they're pretty big on trickery. But what Tanner quickly found out was that if you knock 'em into water, they lose their powers. Simple enough, since there was a hot spring nearby. Tanner shoved her shield-first into it. Of course, she still tried to tempt him, even soaked and helpless as she was.

But Tanner, he knew better than to give a Djinn a chance to mess with your head. Gagged her with a wet towel and strung her up to a tree. That gave him plenty of time to loot her nearby stash and make off.

Then he made the mistake of trying to have his way with her. Now, Djinn might try to seduce you, but by and large, none of them really want sex. Doubly so for an Ignis, because....well, let's just say Tanner lived up to his name, and spent a lot of quality time with an ice pack for a week or two.

A dragon would be something frightful to deal with. As a cleric of little skill there is precious little I could do to a beast like that, even just for the sake of running away. At best protection from evil could be used to attempt an escape, but a simple dispel magic would end that. I've heard rumors of clerics of more repute actually transforming into clouds of mist and floating away from situations they didn't want to deal with. Perhaps that would be a course of action?

A Quiz?

Ummm... I didn't do so well on the academy exams. Can this wait?

>sigh

Lets get this over with.

>Walks in, sits down. Cloak is tattered, with bits of web on it

You want a tale? I've got one.


I've seen some shit. I've seen swarms of harpies pick men up, take them away. I've seen zombies overrun a whole town, their ranks endless. But I have never, ever seen a monster capable of such devestation to humankind as an Ushi-Oni.

I was a young man at the time. I was getting married to the girl of my dreams that day. No one believed the legends. Nobody remembered the 100-year anniversary. I was just kissing my bride when the first house flew into the air.

You see, the Ushi-Oni of our village was a particularly powerful and cruel one. Every 100 years, she would come down, destroy the village, and take 10 men. However, if a wedding was going on, she’d get petty. And a petty Ushi-Oni is a terrifying thing.

>>18176160

She tore her way into the village square, where we were getting married, and forced us to gather all the women together around her. The crazy bitch tore off her own arm, and bathed all the women, and almost all of the men, in her black, filthy blood. That was when the real horror started. Ushi-Oni blood is particularly high in demonic power, and is equally effective on men as well as women. I could only watch, horrified, as my best man, father, and every other male in the town transformed into a ravenous incubus, and all the woman began to morph into Ushi-Oni. Worse still, the original Ushi-Oni regrew that arm without a problem. Didn’t even hurt itself. I looked at my bride, saw her reach out to me, tears in her eyes, as her lower half distended and morphed into a disgusting, hairy, spider carapace. I could only watch the changes extend up her body, staining her skin green, covering her with infernal markings, warping her mind in front of me. The horns grew in bloodily, causing her pain, and her hand fell, transforming into a claw. When she looked up, her gaze was predatory. She reached out to me again, but this was different. This was a Faustian offer. I ran away, away from her, away from the now hundred-strong Ushi-Oni pack, and their incubus lovers.

>>18176144
Really?

Ummm... Run away?

>>18176175
Since that day, I have been training in non-weapon based killing arts. If one can kill an Ushi-Oni without spilling its blood, they will be safe from its terrible effects. I have studied under several masters, learning all I can and then moving on. However, my former wife still follows me, desiring me to return with her. I am capable of killing her now, but… I just cannot do the deed. Not to her. And so I keep running.

That enough of a story for you? I've killed shittons of other monsters, hell, I've beaten a Baphomet thanks to some tricks, but an Ushi-Oni... I just can't fight them.

>>18176160
>>18176175
>>18176246

A frightful tale. Do you know if there is anyway to reverse the transformation? Most things of a magical nature can be undone with sufficiently powerful magic. Would have to find a competent mage, which is a dangerous thing around here.

>>18176269
There may be, but I haven't found one yet.

rolled 49, 13, 44, 65, 1 = 172

>>18176202
Yeah right. Lilims are endgame material. The only way to win is to never meet one.

I think someone else tried this earlier as a theoretical exercise, but let's see what I'd get for a 99 and roll with it.

>>18176860
Well then.

The weresheep is pretty simple to deal with. Just don't let it rub up against you. If you could keep leading it, you could potentially pen it in. Their furs are supposed to be pretty nice to make clothing out of.

The medusa is a little tougher, because of the petrification effect. Keeping out of sight and fighting from cover is the best bet, and mandragora is supposed to help with the whole turning to stone bit as well.

Nereids would be a loss for me, since I can't swim very well, so I guess I'd have to try and hold the line above water.

The salamander has been discussed in depth previously. Just try and ignore it like an annoying child in a tavern.

A lilim, though. Well, fuck.
