Calm.

We can do that after.

You decide that you're going to make yourself a calmer person. You borrow Lin's headphones, get a chant playing on loop on your phone, light a stick of incense, and get started.

Roll Enchantment to start meditating. You get a +1 from the chant playing, a +1 from Focus, and a +1 from the incense, so I'll consider the first six linked 1d100 rolls. You need to accrue a total of three successes over the course of meditating.

You make some real progress, you feel, towards refining your mind to be more calm. You're not sure - it's hard to hear over the earbuds - but you think someone came in and lit more incense for you because the smell keeps coming.

Roll Enchantment to try to finish your Calm augmentation. You get a +1 from Focus, a +1 from the incense, and a +1 from the chanting. I'll consider the first six linked 1d100 rolls. You're at 2/3.

As you finish, you feel like you leave a little bit less of your meditative calm behind that normal. You don't feel deadened or anything, just in more in control, you suppose. You take out the headphones and have a stretch.

It's approaching midnight.

what do you do now?

>>23717939

Check on Selene and Liz, obviously. If she's in bed, cuddle up to her for a while.

>>23717947

>>23717939
Go curl up for our two hours of sleep, then hit the books and make some progress on Conjuration.

>>23717939
Check on our girls.
Perhaps brainstorm a bit about what we're getting for Liz (or has it already been decided?).

>>23717992

I think the transforming collar ( at least I vote for it )
leather and gold/silver as a base something, that could be worn every day

>>23717939

I thought the base form was the everyday wear collar, but yes.

(Everyday wear being the one with the nameplate, low-vis being a leather choker, and classy being your pic)

>>23718024

I'm fine with anything as long as we give it some magical functionality, like making it a ward or focus.

>>23718024
No, base form is black leather with a platinum buckle and platinum nameplate with our name in the Word.

And to those of you who keep crying 'the Word isn't as secure as you think!':
A) Someone reading what is on the collar is not the bloody end of the world.
B) Do you really think that even if someone does see the collar, they're going to figure out it is the Word and not just scribbles?
C) Even if they do, do you really think they're going to whip up a translator construct for the singular purpose of translating it?

>>23718052
Look, in my view the word isn't all that. Heck, one of the best things about it is that people can waste tons of time trying to figure it out.

You decide to go down and see how Selene and Liz are faring. You snuff out what's left of the current stick of incense, stop the chant playing, and start climbing down the ladder. You find Liz in the bed room, a book half-open next to her, with Selene snuggled up and sleeping on her chest.

What do you do?

Or just hug them and lie down with them. Maybe also talk about Liz's childhood and possible reasons shelikes spanking~

Also, I just realized I was unclear, but Liz is asleep as well.

>>23718278

Well, then go see Lin and Dad. Maybe train some alchemy with one of them.

>>23718278
In that case, let's go chat with Dimitry. Either about the game or the transforming collar.

>>23718278

Oooh! I finally get to participate in my favorite quest! I vote we work out a game for the sensory spell

You put Liz's book aside with a bookmark, gingerly lift Selene up off of Liz without waking her, and give your girlfriend a kiss on the forehead. You carry your daughter down to her room and tuck her in, flicking on her UV lamp and giving her a smooch too. Finally, you go climbing down to where your dad is still working on extending the wards.

"Hey, Max, what's up?" he asks you.

"I'm trying to think of a good way to turn this spell I've designed for Selene into a game," you say, leaning against the wall.

"And you want some help?" he asks.

"Yeah," you say, nodding.

"Sure, let's talk it through," he says, while continuing his work.

Roll Mind to try to develop a game for the sensory spell. You get a +1 from your father helping you. I'll consider the first four linked 1d100 rolls.

Between the two of you, you think you come up with a decent idea of how to turn simple Enchantment into a game, as well as using drawing, movies, and TV to help her practice once she figures it out. It's not fool-proof, but you both think that it could work. You're starting to feel a little tired.

What do you do now?

Go and cuddle up with Liz, and sleep.

>>23718452

Llewtrah 2003

Master I will trust to you,
My heart, my soul, my form,
I trust you to take care of them,
And do no lasting harm,
To use the many tools you have,
And bend me to your will,
Take me through pain to pleasure,
With artistry and skill.

Master I will yield to you,
My body's yours to own,
A plaything and an instrument -
Sweet music of my moans.
My skin is but a canvas,
To paint with stripe and bruise,
I give to you my fullest trust,
And pray it's not abused.

Master tie me now with ropes,
And send me to sub-space,
Away from harsh reality,
To my private, inner place;
I give to you my mind and form,
And this of my free will,
For you to cherish as your own,
And do no harm nor ill.

>>23718452
Go sleep.

>>23718452
lets alchemy the collar at least a simple version we can add magic latter,

foci:condom, some leather silver/gold, have lunch help

>>23718452
we got plenty of time to sleep latter find lin and lunch lets make that collar for liz

grab some foci and make it happen she need something nice after this emotional night, I figured we would give it to her before we went out next weekend but tomorrow is just as good,

also thank lin fot the mucic

I dont want to make the collars base yet i want her to go to Paris and look in sex and lingerie shops for one. I want to play head games with it.

>>23718747
Then lets keep it hidden, and still do this cause it sounds fun

Looks like it's about a 50/50 split between wanting to make a collar and wanting to sleep. What do you do?

>>23718779

>>23718779

>>23718779

Something I thought of last night.

Would it be possible to combine Lotus self augmentation and long range alchemy to fiddle with someone's chi network and essentially 'curse' them for life?

One of our options during skips was to sabotage other student's grades. Seems like a neat way would be giving them negative focus. Or negative perception. Increased sleep required. Minus speed.

Since non lotuses don't really do that kind of thing it would be very difficult for them to get out of it if it worked.

No way anyone here would actually go for this since it would take a ton of time, just trying to find limits on magic.

Also everyone worth doing it to is behind wards for most of the time anyway.

>>23718936
if we skiped class we could do it there, how would anyone notice it?

>>23718936
>Would it be possible to combine Lotus self augmentation and long range alchemy to fiddle with someone's chi network and essentially 'curse' them for life?

That sounds like something that would need mastery of living alchemy first before even considering it.

>>23718936
You can give other people augmentations - including trap augmentations - only with high level living alchemy.

>>23718936
Um......

That might actually work.....

wow.

>>23718936
This actually reminds me of something I was wondering about.

You have said living alchemy is virtually impossible on other people without super high tier magic, and you have said that a failure can result in dead cells. We have done something similar with Breakfast on her Uterus.

Does that mean we can try to turn somebody's brain into gold, and even if it fails, it is still destroyed?

>>23718961
Living alchemy has levels? How does that work?

Will Max gain a new stat bar once she learns Living Alchemy?

>>23718976
If you want to kill someone, there are many easier ways than trying to alchemy their bodies.

>>23718979
It's more options you unlock, in the same way the average alchemist can't augment themselves.

>>23718957
if we did it to someone in class the archmage in charge would likely notice.

>>23718990
So how does high level living Alchemy differs from entry level LA?

>>23719007
I'm thinking high level would be the catpunch and entry would be make your fingernails slightly longer.

>>23719007
>>23719014
from what I've read there are three levels

entry level is self augments
mid level is actual transformations to yourself
high level is doing it to others.

>>23719026
You have it all wrong, Living alchemy is just the ability to use alchemy on living beings.

>>23719049
And not kill them with it. We can already use alchemy on people, it just kills the tissue.

>>23719049
And there are levels to it, which has already been indicated by femcock
>>23718990
Like in that post.

So, no I am not "all wrong" I just might be off in my theoretical scale.

You climb on up to your room, tuck Liz in properly, and curl up next to her for a couple of hours of sleep.

And now we're going to have a time skip to Saturday morning. Decide three things to focus on for the rest of the week. Suggestions include, but are not limited to:

>Teaching Selene the new game.
>Studying.
>Self-augments.
>Tattoo-enchanting.
>Spying on classmates.
>Trying to sabotage Pierre's learning.
>Lots of family time.
>Exploring Sibiu.
>Lots of exercise.
>Socializing with friends.
>Having some proper relaxation time.

Try to think of your own too if you want Max to do something else. Try to get consensus. I'll be back in a bit to ask what the consensus is. Talk it out.

small self transformation
major self transformation
basic things to willing others
advanced things to others
cat punch levels

that and she can put together the utility belts and dad can pick up most of the stuff when he is shopping.

Why are you guys trying to do the fun things during the time skip?

Wouldn't it be fun to sabotage Pierre ourselves?

Are you really going to sit through all the self augments in game time? You always say we can just do those in time skip.

>>23719142
If we sabotage Pierre do it this way

>>23719170
I think it is the feeling of security but i see your point. The game is time skip material though.

Can we sabotage Pierre's learning onscreen?

Self-augment for Focus.

>>23719314
I dont understand your reasoning fem will still give us more small enchants than big ones last time we picked augs we got 3 different ones.

>>23719324
Pierre would be more fun onscreen i change my vote from >>23719149 to this >>23719324

Fem gave us a choice between raising an augm to +2 or raising two different augments +1.

I want to teach Selene during screen-time~

>>23719800
Even if we teach her off screen I think we get to play with her on screen. At least that's what I think.

>>23719659
Pierre would be more fun on camera
self augmenting takes ~ 3houres per +1 ~6 for a +2

each focus takes ~1 hour I say foci are the best bet for now because we dont yet have enough drain foci to let us cast "routine spells" without crippling our self with strain.

Okay, you guys can get two augments at level 1 or bring a level 1 up to level 2. What do you guys want to shoot for?

>>23719616
It's
>>23719324
Because Pierre's study should be onscreen and teaching the game should happen as soon as possible for developmental reasons, and the other things are the most fundamental and potent ways to boost our power that we have access to.

>>23719875
>focus

>>23719985
Perception and focus could be both used towards that, no need to get another level 1 augment.

>>23719875
Focus

>>23720017
Ok

>>23719875
I don't see why anyone would choose focus when there are other more important augments.

I'ld say Speed, but Durability is fine too.

Focus>>23719875

>>23719875
Durability, hopefully we won't get pulled into the combat portion of Dane's op, but just I case. Also, we are meeting him at the lotus sanctuary in the end, right? (apologies for my failing memory)

>>23720017
i dont understand why people prefer 1 +2 to 2 +1 can you explain it to me.

>>23719875
aging and memory

>>23720071
that was my understanding

>>23720072
One very important reason is >>23719929

+Focus has contributed to every roll we've made to study or meditate. +Focus = faster stat increases.

>>23720071
>lso, we are meeting him at the lotus sanctuary in the end, right?

That was the plan, yes.

>>23720072
A lot of the things we've already added toward have very broad application, while most of the +1 choices are of uncertain (but likely less) breadth.

>>23719875
>focus gotta learn harder

>>23720088
I get that is a special case as well as speed and strength. I still dont get the push for focus 2 over willpower 1 +memory 1. Memory helps with class like focus and willpower helps with meditation and they both spill over to different areas so together they are better than focus 2 for the same effort.

>>23720096
see
>>23720144

and on the physical front kinetic force-fields and stamina would be pretty good.

If we can get 2 +1 that together are as good as 1 +2 then i say we do that even if >>23720112
is right

>>23720144
because now we have 6 possibly 7(if calm counts) mediation dice and level 1 mind augs need 3 successes

Is the voting done?

>>23720144
2 mind augs is 6 successes one +2 body aug is 8 successes

When we go back to Lotus sanctum on Saturday let's ask someone how many times they boosted durability before attaining bullet-proof-ness

Durability

>>23720232
Ok that kind of makes sense and the +2 gets harder by 2 if we up a stat 1 where as the +1 is only 1 and we are at the brink on both stats.

Femcock please respond

Damn, I was hoping that we'd get another +1 on the meditation stuff due to being tattooed along the chi-points, when Pavana first explained Self-Enhancement tattooing was mentioned as one of the things that could add a +1.

I think currently if we have the chant playing and incense going we'll have a +4 dice from that added to the base stat, which will let us get an awful lot done pretty quickly.

>>23720809
Correction, if we are getting Focus +2, I have no idea what's winning it'll be +5. And +6 if we actually get the Tattoo bonus. We'll actually have a pretty good chance to knock out +1s in a single session at that point.

>>23720809
The tattoos aren't enchanted right now. Currently they are just normal tattoos.

A week passes. You focus for most of the week on studying, teaching Selene the game you've newly made, and spend one long night increasing your body's durability. Selene makes quite a bit of progress. She hasn't figured the spell out just yet, but she is starting to figure out how to do broader versions of the extremely-crude Enchantment that she had learned.

You just woke up. It's about 2:00 on Saturday morning and Liz is curled up next to you. Your phone is buzzing like you just got a text.

What do you do now?

>>23720976
Pick up the phone, it should be Dave.

>>23720976
Without waking Liz, check the text.

>>23720976
ohshit, it's mom

>>23720976
Check the phone.

I'm guessing it's Dane.

If we still have time before we gotta leave let's try to knock out that last pixel on alchemy.

>>23720976
Check phone, see what's up.

>>23720518
you did the work to make the art even if it is stupid easy you deserve a consult at least.
Also thanks.

>>23720976
Check phone, leave Liz a note and notify dad if we have to head out. Heck, if Dane's giving us unfamiliar coordinates ask dad if he knows anything about the area.

>>23720976
check text if Dane reply will meet at lotus port to lotus.

>>23721093
Unless he's been there recently to hunt something, or it's on the actual school facility, probably not.

You slip carefully out of bed and check your phone. You did, indeed, get a text from Dane.

"Meet in Lotus sanctum at 8:00. Bring anything you want."

What do you do now?

I'm going to need to leave in about an hour to watch my niece and nephew.

>>23721242
Tell dad that we will help Dane and to be sure to get the teleports ready.

>>23721242
Grab weapons, and get prepared, increase our strength if we have time before, drain either Lunch or Breakfast, and tell people where why and when we are going

>>23721242
That gives us six hours. Maybe knock one of those +1 meditation goals out of the way while we wait?

>>23721242
Question. Will the focus-crafting-strain-mitigation foci lunch has prepared will work for enchanting our tattoos?

>>23721242
Give Liz a kiss and let her sleep.

Gather up a good kit of supplies and Foci to stick into a backpack or bag.

Let Dad know about this.

Then let's finish off this Square of Alchemy so we're better prepared to learn Living Alchemy.

>>23721286
We want to budget at least two sessions for those, we might get it in one session but if we take two sessions we'll be late as it'll take us time to do other morning stuff, like eat breakfast, prepare to go.

>>23721286
I'd rather do 2 rounds of permanent focus crafting then drain Breakfast and Lunch.

>>23721303
Yes.

>>23721242

Any foci we can think of for mind attacks, alteration, offense, and defense, as well, do we have any suppressed pistols and rifles? AS VAL, USPs, etc?

Get body armor, a tacvest, load up with ammo, grenades, some claymores if we have them, NVGs, IR laser, taclight, etc.

>>23721260
this bring a note book and pen,

also pack a AK just in case

>>23721340
>23721340

femcock, what's our armory looking like?

I'm wondering what hardware we have to work with for covert ops, and if we have any comms gear (And any way to load crypto

>>23721242
Gear up, grab an AR or AK, get body armor if dad got some. If not, have him grab some if we have time.

>>23721242
Studying alchemy would help out a bit for when we start learning living alchemy in a few hours.

>>23721350
AKs are for third world armies. A nice custom AR is where it's at.

>>23721242
lets prep by doing this >>23721346
then use >>23721303 to enchant a teleport drain on our tattoos then head out after giving Liz a good by kiss and telling dad where we are going.

>>23721398

Fuck that, we're wizards.

We're also doing sneaky-snake shit, we want a suppressed weapon, preferable an AS VAL or something, but worst comes to worst we can get an AR-10 or SCAR-H firing subsonic 7.62 with a can on it.

>>23721318
I pretty much agree with this, though assuming we have any extra time I think we should build a healing battery focus. We're probably going to need it.

>>23721358
We burned one of our guns. Other than that I think nothing's changed since we first got the tower.

>>23721364
Good point actually, especially since we're almost to the next dot.

>>23721364
i doubt we can get the box done in time but after we do >>23721414 if we still have time a cram session would be ok.

>>23721435
We have six hours for one pixel. If we spend five hours rolling dice I reckon we're pretty sure to get there, and still have time for more general preparation.

We can try, we do have 6 hours after all.

You give Liz a small kiss, then get all of your gear prepared at the door - your pistols, an assault rifle, the body armor that your dad got you earlier this week, and your utility belt full of film canisters full of generic foci that you think might be useful in combat. Once that's all done, you head down to where your dad's still extending the wards; he's gotten part of the spiral ramp and one of the rooms done, covered in glowing brass designs.

"What's up?" he asks you as you head down.

"I'm going to be heading out to help Dane with something later," you tell him. "He says that it shouldn't be anything of great danger, but I wanted to tell you anyway, in case I need to call to get teleported out."

"Well, you can always call me now," he says. He got a phone on one of his trips out too. "Will you be skipping your normal prestige class session to do this?"

What do you tell him?

>>23721513
I don't think that would be any problem since I will meet him on our HQ.

By the way, did dad get the jotun/dwarf bones?

>>23721513
Wait, it's AM right? Shouldn't we probably be done with this before class starts?

>>23721513
Right, Saturday, maybe we should head to lotus a bit early to get a rundown on whatever we might end up missing. Still, we should finish off that box of alchemy first.

>>23721513

Just so I know, what's the rifle we have, what pistols, do we have suppressors, grenades, ammo, etc?

>>23721513
"I'll be meeting him at our HQ around 8. I'm not sure how long what he needs me for is going to take so I might miss some or all of the group session, I'll probably spend some time at the Sanctum afterwards though."

>>23721552
We'll be missing some group meditation, Lotus doesn't really have a lesson plan.

"It depends on how long he needs me to help him, I guess," you admit. "If he need me for more than a few hours, I might miss it."

"Okay," he says. "I'll tell Lin the next time I see her."

What do you do now?

FYI, this is what I was hoping we'd have (The weapons are an AS VAL and HK USP Compact in .45, BTW)

We should at least have that much ammo though, especially if we don't have any grenades.

>>23721612
Ask him about the bones for our dryad.

>>23721612

Double check our weapons functionality, check that all mags are loaded fully and all rounds are properly seated, spend 10-15 minutes practicing IAs for stoppages, make sure our vest and clothing is comfy and camo, nothing shines, nothing rattles. Make sure we have water, preferably in a camelbak.

>>23721612
Enchant a tattoo. My vote is for mental defense drain mitigation.

>>23721612
Since it looks like we have all our gear let's try to get that little alchemy smidge in the time we have left.

>>23721612
Give him a hug, then let's get a study session to finish off that last pixel of Alchemy, given that we're learning Living Alchemy we want that extra bonus.

>>23721612
study alchemy

>>23721616
Dad said if we ever need more than two magazines we're better off running.

>>23721665

Depends on the situation, AND we don't know how long we're gone.

Plus, what if we need to suppress? What if we have to engage in more than one firefight? What if we have FtFs or doublefeeds from a faulty mag and have to ditch it? Think ahead, ALWAYS bring as much ammo and water as possible.

>>23721635
You know, I may be laboring under the misimpression that most things in the Scholomance can be taken out of commission with a couple rounds or are entirely immune to mundane firearms.

>>23721699

Depends what, exactly, I'm under the impression if it bleeds, you can kill it.

(That said I also said bring ALL THE FOCI WE CAN IN A SMALL PACK).

>>23721699
This is the same impression I had. If we're fighting something so tough or so numerous that we'd need more than one magazine, we should have been using magic or just gotten the fuck outta there.

>>23721665
He said it and he's damn well right. A lot of this stuff is substantially beyond what we need.
Some kind of military gear might be good for defensive purposes, though. Kevlar with maybe some ceramic plates should be good there. Put a cloth weaved of carbon nanotubes over it.

>>23721745

You never know, so assume the worst. I'm assuming we'll be supporting a semi-protracted patrol/raid and we'll need extra ammo and foci, hence body armor, extra mags, a dump pouch for partials, grenades, and extra pistol ammo, along with hopefully 9x39 primary weapon for that delicious suppressed firing and kinetic transfer.

Oh, ALSO, BRING AT LEAST 2 OF EVERY FOCI WE CAN. IF NOT 3-5.

>>23721767
Dane told us he just needs to reference our aura. All we need to do ourselves is prevent "possible collateral". Guns aren't that important for directly defensive purposes.

>>23721796

You're assuming plans won't change.

NO plan survives contact with the enemy. Always assume shit will hit the fan with such force so as to convert the kinetic energy into light.

You decide to study some Alchemy with the time you have left before you leave.

Roll Mind to study. You get a +1 for Focus and a +1 for Calm, so I'll consider the first five linked 1d100 rolls.

This will be my last post for now. I'll be back later.

Out of curiosity, what's the plan of action when an air elemental tries to strangle us from inside our lungs (or how would you prevent it's attack)? I've been wondering about that one for a few sessions now.

>>23721916
Eventually we're supposed to be augmenting ourselves so we need less oxygen. We're already way more efficiency on food and sleep.

>>23721916
Summon a bigger air elemental to fight it.
Conjuration wards obviously.

>>23721916

That's not something that can be solved by guns. That's something solved by pre-planning and ward usage.


My pre-planning is for things we can deal with that aren't directly magic-related, since I don't consider myself the sharpest on the magic front.

>>23721916

It would depend on how it attacked us. If it was teleported directly inside of us, anti-conjuration foci work just fine. We could also try to roll Conjuration to port it out of us, or take control of it and tell it to leave us alone. Force fields may also prevent it from entering us, plus other forms of personal warding.

>>23721916
>>23721927
Oh boy Femcock just left and the stupid suggestions have already began.

>>23721916
Anticonjuration tattoos disrupt elementals.

Durability also extends to internal organs so if it gets in then there's some defense from that.

>>23721927
Acid tolerance would be better for less breathing since its CO2 buildup that drives breathing. Not lack of oxygen.

>>23721916
The whole reason we got the tattoos was to turn them into anti-conjuration wards.

>>23721951
I wouldn't call that a stupid suggestion, it's a reasonably common way to kill someone with an Air Elemental.

>>23721916
Tattoo wards that disrupt that sort of thing, or using Enchantment to turn it's "mind" into mush and take control of it that way, maybe.

>>23721951
Needing less oxygen sounds like a good suggestion
It will take longer until we are out of breath

>>23721946
Anti-conjuration foci work on everything that was summoned and will sent it away,

>>23721927
Ok, kind of a longer term solution, but ok. Wouldn't necessarily stop it (depending on its power level/subtype) from turning into an acidic fog in our lungs, but I admit that probably won't happen. I figure a couple mental attacks could probably cause it to dissipate, but I could be wrong.

>>23721974
I found that stupid because "How to counter summons and direct teleports" was a huge arguement in the earlier threads that was solved with the anti-con tattoos suggestion,

>>23721963
Which is why pure oxygen environment cause suffocation.
