>>24365454
Just roll to study sorcery until the timeskip.

>>24365454
Go see how things went with dad summoning up the Tengu's spirit.

So, from the last few posts in the last thread it seems a major reason for the delays is that !FemCOCKqFw has internet connectivity problems...

How about having fem make all dice rolls then instead of players? Could use actual dice too (to avoid the problems with unreliable tg roller).
This should drastically speed up things I think.

>>24365487
seconded

>>24365454
Have a nice night smiting Liz.

>>24365491
... How would that help. If Fem can't get online to even read the posts, how is she supposed to post the rolls.

>>24365491
That was discussed before
Fem wants players to roll

>>24365504
She needs sleep

>>24365491
I don't like that because then if critfail people will just bitch at her and complain incessantly.

Also she already said no to someone suggesting this earlier

>>24365487
Forgot about this. Do this if nobody else wants to study sorc.

>>24365454
Ask Dad how the Tengu thing went.

Then give Liz a proper "smiting" and tuck her in, after that we can check on the Pets, feed them some candy and fuck them.

>>24365454
Text Lin, see how she's doing.

Check on dad's Halloween spirits plan.

Put Selene to bed, then put Liz to bed.

>>24365515
A quick smiting followed by cuddles to sleep, then.

>>24365454
work on the mind drill till Lin gets back

talk with dad about death and dying (we need to know)

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Scholomance

The previous thread is now archived. Remember to vote it up.

>>24365594
She's already said no in the past, drop it.

Is it just me, or is MrTT the new Snapple, while Snapple has moved on to just being a regular poster?
Because MrTT seems incapable of dropping this stupid shit.

>>24365487
>Go see how things went with dad summoning up the Tengu's spirit.
+1
>>24365504
>Have a nice night smiting Liz.
She should really get some sleep for school tomorrow.

Go shopping for various meats, cook some meat treats and store in the fridge in case you are in class when Selene wakes up. Let dad know about meat to candy trading program.

>>24365631
>She's already said no in the past, drop it.
I was writing up my reply to >>24365510 and didn't see >>24365515 until after I posted

>>24365659
They're both terrible in different ways.

As an analogy, if you were walking down the road one day, an encounter with Snapple would be like a syphilitic leper in a jesters hat jumping out in front of you and refusing to let you move on until you'd watched him do a little dance and shit is pants.

An encounter with MrTT on the other hand would be like a scrawny bespectacled man in a suit stepping out in front of you with a big stack of papers and refusing to let you move on until you'd done all your taxes, in triplicate.

Snapple can be far, far worse, but on the other hand, sometimes he can be kind of funny in his retardism. MrTT's just really boring and long-winded.

Still not sure which one is actually worse though.

>>24365454
See what dad accomplished, then stay up until Lin gets home.

>>24365659
I dropped it after I saw the first reply that said "fem already said no". look at the post order...
Also pretty ironic how you can't drop this

>Tengu
yes
>smite Liz
yes
>>24365678
>Go shopping for various meats
no. there is nowhere in walking distance to shop and having dad port us 2 more times is a huge waste. He needs his conjuration for the ecosystem or the wards if they are not done yet.

>>24365606
Hey fem dos casting a spell using a strain focus make natural strain healing take longer?

>>24365798
this

To all the people saying we should smite liz.

It's about 3.30am.

Liz has gone to bed. She will not be happy to be woken up when we have class in a few hours. She actually needs a full nights sleep unlike Max.

>>24365853
Which is why we should go to sleep later, so Liz can wake us up in whatever way she chooses.

>>24365853
We should however at least tuck her in, and we made sure she took a nice long nap earlier in the evening so she'd be okay.

>>24365830
They absorb the strain for that casting, and recharge like other permanent foci do.

>>24365853
She took a nap and is not yet in bed she is tucking her daughter in

>>24365659
First Snapple was 99% snap necks posts.

Then he acted nomal for a while.

Then it was fucking insane ideas.

Then it was normal for a bit.

Then he did a bunch of victim complex "stop persecuting me!!!!" bullshit for a while

The it was a bit of normal behavior, rapidly changing between crazy ideas and normalcy with some victim complexing mixed in.

I'm starting to think he's cyclothymic or has some other sort of personality disorder.

>>24365902
>Liz heads off, planning to put Selene to bed, then get a bit of sleep herself before it's time to get up for class.

Looks like she's intending to sleep right afterwards though.

>>24365907
I'm pretty sure he just acts up when he gets bored.

>>24365907
Or maybe it's because We are all snapple.
All of /tg/ is one drunk schizo guy in an Idaho basement anyway.

>>24365972
>Idaho
I'm in Florida. You're all just palm trees.

>>24366006
>I'm in Florida
You have my sympathies.

>>24366006
Clearly you're not the original personality, then.

>>24365901
Yes i know. But what i mean is, say it takes 1 hour to recover 1 point of strain and max has just gotten her second point of enchantment strain, of 4 dice. Then she weights a half hour and uses her strain emotion focus to cast a spell. Will it be half or one whole hour before she is down to 1 strain?

>>24365659
Snapple was pretty fucking dumb last thread if you didnt notice.

>>24366006
Well that explains it. Everyone in Florida is fucking crazy.

>>24366037
All strain relief foci do is keep us from getting strain on that casting.

>>24366160
look i want explicit confirmation that it works the good way. I see your interpretation and hope it is correct but i want an official answer. The official answer may be that the timer counts from the last casting not the last strain.

"So, how did the tengu thing go?" you ask your dad, pulling him off to the side as Liz leaves.

"Great," he says seriously. "Better than expected. I got the fragments, edited out any memory fragments that looked dangerous, and then wove the whole mess into the power grid in my dream net. To put it simply, we shouldn't have a problem on that front ever again, barring frankly implausible levels of hyper-specialized complications."

"Uh..." you say, fearing that he just jinxed it.

"No, really, it's fine," he says, giving you a squeeze.

You head down after that. You're torn on whether to 'smite' Liz or let her rest. You end up deciding to let her rest, though, when you find her in the bedroom, looking tired. You help her out of her dress and clothes, leave the toys she was wearing in the sink, and give her a big kiss as you tuck her in.

"I really liked getting to meet your mom," she tells you. "It was exhausting, but... Really nice."

"I'm glad you got to see where I'm from too," you tell her. "Maybe I'll get to see yours soon."

"...maybe..." she whispers as she drifts off to sleep.

Do you do anything else tonight, or are you basically done for now? If you don't have anything else, it's time for the timeskip.

Also, the reason my posting rate has been SOOO shitty today wasn't my internet. I was playing an actual tabletop game tonight. Sorry if anyone was too bothered by it.

>>24366220
Timeskip. Augment strength and durability.

>>24366220

Cuddle up to Liz.

>>24366230
Playing IRL and QMing at the same time. Impressive.

>>24366220
have the death talk with dad then time skip.

>>24366261
Not really, considering how slowly I ended up going with the QMing.

>>24366230
Don't be ridiculous Femcock, everyone knows that no-one who posts on /tg/ actually plays tabletop games.

>>24366230
for me worried yes bothered no
can i get a yes no on this? >>24366037

>>24366262
Seconding.

>>24366220
Text Lin to make sure she'll be getting home at a reasonable hour. Stay up if it won't be too much longer.

>>24366230
Nah, it's cool. People spaz out that we tend to amuse ourselves when you're gone, but whatever.

>>24366275
Wait, then I'm not a real person? I just recall playing a CoC game the night before last.

>>24366262
third now is a good time for it.

>>24366247
Yeah lets put all the timeskip into augs for the bow.

Str to draw a bigger bow, durability so the string doesn't cut our fingertips off.

>>24366277
A strain mitigation focus lets you use a spell for free, energy-wise. It has no bearing on your recharge rate one way or another.

>>24366262
Now that we got time to do it, might as well.

>>24366220
Check on the pets, they've been good sluts and I think they'd like some candy, and we can gently wake them up, give them candy, get some fucking in.

Also text Lin and see how she's doing.

>>24366230
Does your group know what you've been doing?
Oh god, you went full Catan with your pet while playing, didn't you? Did you use her as a table? Did you make them use costers on her?

>>24366288
/tg/ if a place for people who know nothing about traditional games to come together and bitch about them. Hadn't you realised?

>>24366230
no worries

>>24366262
not bad.
A great subject for the fading minutes of this death-focused time.

>>24366314
iirc it's an online game.

She's done this before.

>>24366330
Or it's a different one and I'm just wrong. Skimmed over "actual tabletop" that first reading.

>>24366220
lets talk about death and dying, what will happen to us then time warp

>>24366247
we should augment memory, focus, and calm to improve rate of study and augmentation respectively.

Also don't forget the idea of bringing a recharging plate to the meditation room so you don't run out of batteries halfway through. Or better yet, augment in lotus sanctum.

Is there a reason we don't use permanent foci to enhance augmenting?
Also, carl said you could (but it might be unwise) augment yourself with an alchemy vulnerability to increase augmentation rate. Why not craft an item that causes alchemy vulnerability while worn, which you could take off when done augmenting.

>>24366322
I thought that was mainly people acting pseudo-intellectual about MtG, and people bitching about pointless minutiae of tabletops that have no bearing on the enjoyment of the medium, like d20 versus 3d6, or DnD 3.5 versus Pathfinder.

>>24366361
>we should augment memory, focus, and calm to improve rate of study and augmentation respectively.
No because physical augments are a fucking pain compared to mental


The rest of your post is fine.

>>24366220
time skip proposal seduce Pierre while learning sorcery,
learn conjuration while making the ecosystem
Learn enchantment working on the drill.
+ minor things like our bow.

>>24366361
>Is there a reason we don't use permanent foci to enhance augmenting?
we cant it doesn't work like that

>>24366443
>seduce pierre

How about no.

>>24366361
>Why not craft an item that causes alchemy vulnerability while worn, which you could take off when done augmenting.
we should look into this

>>24366463
He already seems pretty seduced to me.

>>24366463
>>24366484
what i mean is our plan to make him submissive to us so that when we offer to take him in and keep him save he says yes then we have a willing pet.

>>24366443
>seduce Pierre
We're gonna feminize him first, I though?
>learn sorcery
Crucial
>ecosystem
Would be nice to give dad a break
>drill
Not crucial, it can wait, especially with how involved it is
>bow
Yeah, we really should get on that. Would be nice to just... have a weapon. The problem is that the only times we leave the tower we're going to meet with people normally, and we can't really just bring a bow with us inconspicuously.

>>24366443
>seduce Pierre
ewww.

>>24366531
Is there any reason at all not just mindrape him into being loyal to us and then disappear him?
His mind is defenseless to us. And any feminization or whatever can be done to him inside the tower.
Although honestly I think we should just rip all his knowledge of us and magic from his mind and then make him drop out.

>>24366531
>Yeah, we really should get on that. Would be nice to just... have a weapon. The problem is that the only times we leave the tower we're going to meet with people normally, and we can't really just bring a bow with us inconspicuous

We should get more str and dur first so we can start out with a super high-power bow.

And for the inconspicuousness, either hammerspace it or just don't give a fuck and walk around with a bow everywhere. Or make it fold yp and pocket it. Magic!

>>24366559
Because it's way more entertaining to have him slowly turn more feminine in plain sight.

The only thing more fun than corrupting someone is corrupting someone while everyone watches and the victim doesn't mind.

>>24366572
We should be training with Mr. Lotus Kung Fu before anything, honestly. He can show us the basics of superhuman fighting while we continue to work on our augs and build a bow.

I could see an arc where we build a bow way out of our league and then work up to it. Mechanically, a bad idea, but thematically rather fun.

>>24366531
there was a proposal to do things like tell him we like effeminate and submissive men. Then subtly condition him to be obedient to us and fearful of the risks of school then when he is scared and obedient offer to take him and keep him safe at which point we make him our willing sissy bitch.

>>24366597
exactly

>>24366531
>Yeah, we really should get on that. Would be nice to just... have a weapon. The problem is that the only times we leave the tower we're going to meet with people normally, and we can't really just bring a bow with us inconspicuously.
we carry 2 guns and a knife

>>24366531
>we can't really just bring a bow with us inconspicuously.
Enchant it to collapse into just the grip, such that when you hold the grip it should

>>24366597
So after our talk with liz about vindictiveness we are going to waste a massive amount of time and risk exposing ourselves in order to have such a petty vengeance (he never actually did anything to us)?
Not to mention older hands are likely to find out and most likely will know it was us due to the fact its not a secret he has been spending a lot of time with us, our heritage, and the fact only a lotus or an archmage could living alchemy someone's gonads like that?

>>24366622
This is probably the wisest course.

>>24366631
Which aren't gonna do squat against anyone mildly threatening to us at this point. Remember when we couldn't hit Lunch worth a damn? Yeah, that was fun.

>>24366443
>seduce Pierre
No.

>>24366646
Hey, I never said it was the smart thing, but the fun thing.

The only people who'd give a damn are other DD at this point. He has no other friends (and even DD barely tolerate him), and you know Petrov would disapprove but do nothing.

>>24366622
we are going to start training On camera not in a time skip.

>I could see an arc where we build a bow way out of our league and then work up to it. Mechanically, a bad idea, but thematically rather fun.
no it wouldn't be fun

>>24366646
we want him to come to us willingly precisely because this is not revenge.
We are ether going to make him drop out or be our willing pet if he was a threat he would be crushed and given no choice as to being a pet.

>>24366652
>we couldn't hit Lunch worth a damn
because TG dice we got +2 from the guns.

>>24366678
Even if the other students wont give a damn, it is still going to be a rep that follows max. Especially the fact we "faked" being friendly with him for the purpose of ruining him.
Also, the older DD are incredibly dangerous to us and while they look down on him they are still likely to retaliate.
And we have way better things to do with our time.

Just invite him to practice the mindshield you taught him where you try to circumvent it in a "safe" environment. If you fail give him congrats, if you succeed edit his mind and make him drop out or disappear him (to our tower for slavery or to a shallow grave).

>>24366753
Note i am not advocating feminizing him first that is a bad move i want him to "chose" that as part of submitting to us.

>>24366678
No.

>>24366678
The other Dextra member is friendly to him.

Better to find out who it is before we do anything to him.

>>24366753
>no it wouldn't be fun
You're kidding right? Max is an athlete. Setting near-impossible goals and then hitting them is what you live for. Breaking a PR is one of the most exhilarating thing you can do if you work out.

Plus, there's no point in using a bow that's not superpowered. Best to build the superbow over the timeskip and start training up to it afterwards.

>>24366674
Technically, he already has been seduced.

>>24366837
This is information we should find out as soon as possible. Now that the perception filter stops him being suspicious of us, we can ask him about the other Dextra at our leisure.

Surprised we haven't already.

>>24366780
I don't want to ruin him out in the open i want him to come be our willing pet. That will take slow work that can be done while we study sorcery with him anyway.
If we fail the worst that happens is
>invite him to practice the mindshield you taught him where you try to circumvent it in a "safe" environment. If you fail give him congrats, if you succeed edit his mind and make him drop out
till he is out of school

The best is we have a willing pet who can even go out in public if we so chose.

>>24366837
No she isn't she hates his guts and wont help him that is why he begged us to help him.

What about all the documents we left in the other hideout?

>>24366865
Eh, once we got him out of our hair semi-permanently, we pretty much went back to ignoring him.

You people would all be fucking boring wizards.

>>24366891
He begged us to help him because he liked us. Afterward, while we tutored him, he said that Max and the other Dextra member were the only people who treated him well.

>>24366858
I meant into being our sub.

>>24366873
>The best is we have a willing pet who can even go out in public if we so chose.

You realize that for him to come to us willingly means he gives up DD (since we are a half demon) and as such the DD policy is that he drops out or disappears. Also we have to keep seducing him (yuck)
Plus remember our policy on other pets with liz. There is just no room for him in our harem.

>>24366918
Oh great Snapple, what do you advocate for the timeskip?

>>24366928
I don't know. I think we have some room for Dinner.

>>24366928
When we told Liz about our plan to feminize Pierre and make him(?) into a pet, she seemed overjoyed.

>>24366947
He can't be dinner, neither you nor dad can feed him.

>>24366959
Which means it's probably a terrible idea to do in the open. Liz is way too vengeful when it comes to that stuff and she lets it cloud her better judgement.

>>24366220
Giving my vote for having that death talk with Dad before we move on to the timeskip.

>>24366979
Oh, I thought it was just the sexual energy that mattered.

>>24366990
And Dane told us the idea initially, which means it's probably a good idea.

You check in with Lin, just to be safe, before heading to bed. She's doing fine, is well-rested, relatively sober, and should be at class on time tomorrow. You rest feeling satisfied.

We're now going to do a time skip. The time skip is going to be about two weeks, ending on the day your second daughter hatches. I'll let you guys talk about what you want to do, then, in a little while, I'll check in and ask for the consensus.

>>24366979
Plus I like the idea of instead of turning someone *into* meal, it's still just Pierre and he's now with us.

I kind of want to turn our enchantment on him toggleable just so we can fuck with him once we have him in our clutches. Flip it off every once in a while just to see his reaction, but maybe that's a little too sadistic.

So, guys. The Super Bow. We doing this?

Rolled 41

>>24367071
What happened to that mace we said we would make?

>>24366920
no the dextra barely tolerate him and have written him off as incompatant.

>>24366928
>gives up DD ... drops out or disappears
yes that is the goal so he can be our full time gopher foci bitch and sissy slut.
>There is just no room for him in our harem
Liz wants to break him. She wants to break him a lot. As far as she is concerned we can keep him

>>24366990
but it is a good idea to do it quietly

>>24367054
we can do that now if we want to risk it.

>>24367071
Hell yeah we're doing this.

We should also talk to Alexander about starting martial arts training.

>>24367082
>that mace we said we would make?

I only recall one person asking for it. I really don't see the point of another close combat weapon when we're learning how to use magic kung-fu.

>>24367082
You mean the one that one Anon keeps pushing every thread with no replies? I think we collectively pass, thanks.

>>24367071
Talk to lotus bow master first.

>>24367000
Incubi cannot feed on men. A master lotus could make him female but its way too much effort and such a long term project...
I am sure another female student will attack us eventually.
>>24367022
Dane said it seemed like our style. Not that he would do something like that.

>>24367054
That is way too sadistic, yes.

>>24367071
Hell yes we are. Collapsing or otherwise easily stored a plus. Magically shrinking down on itself down to a handle a la Eva's bow in season two would be perfect.

>>24367071
Yes.
>>24367093
No Pierre shit.

>>24367071
Let's go ahead and craft it during the timeskip so we can hit the ground running when we can use it. Wish we had started training with Alexander before the timeskip so we could be benefitting from it during it, but ah well.

>>24367033

well we should really work on living alchemy practice on rats

if we study with frenchey not only we we up sorcery but we can then test the living alchemy on him.

and fro the third option idk

Ok guys. Augments. Tons of fucking augments.

Do you really want to roll for these and eat entire days?

Pump strength and durability as high as they'll go.

>>24367082
it was scraped as a dumb joke
>>24367071
as long as it is a minor action we seem unanimous

>>24367033
During any timeskip I recommend urging other members of our tower to teach Selene. She's too young for body experience but everything we've done so far has counted for her mind and soul. Lets give an order to teach Selene what we can, given how busy each character is. Hell breakfast and lunch can still teach basic math and stuff

>>24367093
Look, there are bound to be exceptions. Like a fellow freshie who's more understanding and not as jaded or serious as the older members of the society.

For now, let's just agree that, for Pierre, the other Dextra member is acting nicely towards him. Whether it's genuine or not is up in the air. Satisfied?

Anyway. Time skip actions.

>Practice living alchemy on rats!
>Get Pierre to help us with Sorcery! Might as well use him.
>Augment our strength for the super bow!

>>24367145
The bow requires less successes than augments. Spend all our roll-less successes on roll intensive activities.

>>24367143
Absolutely. Major emphasis on this, as it is key to progression, safety, and just general badassitude. Plus, we should really get shit done before we hit Body 5.

>>24367033
Timeskip 3 actions:
2x Augment.
1x Study group to work on your weakest schools.

>>24367093
Doing it quietly aka kidnapping him and breaking him in the tower? Fine, just to get it over with. (although personally I prefer to make him drop out)

I am opposed to feminizing him in the open and spending weeks making him publicly submissive to us first. It would get us a bad rep and it will be revealed (and easily reversed by the hand elders once they inspect him for tampering). I am baffled about the "willing bitch" thing. This is never going to work, the moment he finds you have a cock instead of a cunt.

>>24367164
>>Augment our strength for the super bow!
We need durability too. If we only get strength then the string will take our fingers off at some point or smack our arm and rip it open.

>>24367136
spirit ecosistum for more conjuration and to give dad more time.

>>24367143
we need more sorcery and conjuration right now

minor actions
teach Selene
yes

>>24367168
The basic idea of the bow requires less. Additional features such as magically collapsing for easy storage, energy-arrow generation, and enchanted arrows will take more. Going for the whole set over the timeskip would be best.

>>24367151
Also fem said that asking other people to do things during timeskips is a free action, so it wont affect our 3 options

>>24367196
If we're going to work on Sorcery, we better take up Pierre on his offer to do so. Two birds,one stone.

>>24367229
Ok, so ask other people to teach Selene.


Spend every second of the skip in augment meditation.

>>24367242
Augments > sorcery for timeskip options.

>>24367033
practice living alchemy on rats

study with frenchey /practice living alchemy on

and spirit ecosistum

>>24367272
Wrong

Wrong

And Wrong.

The correct answer is to augment strength and durability until we run out of time.

>>24367272
Let's NOT practice living alchemy on Pierre.

>>24367290
You do realize people are going to start advocating for us NOT to do that if you keep doing this?

>>24367290
Okay, c'mon dude. Let them voice their opinions. I agree with you on this one (for the most part), but seriously.

>>24367310
>on living alchemy
Not until we know we can do it successfully.

Supporting getting more augments before the bow. If we make it fully now then we'll just have to remake it when we get stronger.

>>24367290
gears the thing we can do that over winter break when we got no class and can mediate for 3 days straight just not a good plan right now.

>>24367256
We must get Selene's experience as high as possible, she will be more useful later. Just asking other tower members to contribute if possible is enough.

>>24367164
>Satisfied
he said she didn't like him so no and i don't have time right now to pull the quote to prove you wrong.

>kidnapping him and breaking him in the tower
that or using the time he teaches us sorcery to also make him want to be our sub.
>the moment he finds you have a cock instead of a cunt.
we blue ball him untill he says yes then as his new mistress we make him love the dick with enchantment iv necisary.
I.E. he is our pet then he learns about the D

>>24367322
Agreeing on this.

Would a sense augment help us in using the bow? Or perception? Something for aiming.

>>24367322
Fantastic point.

>Make bow now
>get more augments
>have to make bow again
OR
>Get augments now
>Make bow

On top of that, we might learn some bow-making secrets from Alexander.

>>24367322
There's no point in making one below a certain strength and durability threshold. We can make it now and it'll be ready to use once we actually hit that point

>>23899591#p23901074

Not sure how to link to a particular post in the archive, but this is where Pierre said that the only other person nice to him was the 2nd Hand member.

>>24367367
I want our first bow to have a pull of at least 300 pounds. The only problem is we have to remember that regular arrows are going to snap in half if we shoot them, though. Arrows flex midair when fired, and putting too much force will make them fold over and explode mid-flight. Solid (or hollow but thick) aluminum or carbon fiber bows would probably work well.

>>24367415
Okay, screwed that up.

Archive number is 23899591. Post number is 23901074. There.

>>24367376
And until then we've made no improvement.
If we get augments now we end up at the same place, at about the same point in the future, but also get immediate benefits

>>24367427
It will take far less time to alchemize a bow than augments, so I agree.

>>24367423
I was thinking fatass tungsten rods from a much stronger bow.

Something that will punch through a battalion of tanks and a dragon in one shot

>>24367376
Crafting a bow we cannot use and then augmenting to be able to use it makes no sense compared to augmenting first and then crafting bow.

>>24367446
Its a bow for use with superhuman strength, we are going to have to make it out of magical components or enchanted else it will not work right.

>>24367423
Carbon arrows are a must then, and easily alchemized

>>24367463
We still need to investigate magical materials to make arrows out of. Which would be something worth bribing the librarian for a book on.

>>24367446
Max should probably do some research first on bows though. Who knows, maybe she's so ignorant in this she thinks the cord is the springy part?

>>24367427
You're really serious about using 100% of our timeskip on augs, aren't you?

I suppose it makes the most sense, but it's pretty lame. I just want a little variety. I don't see making the bow eating a huge chunk of our timeskip time - it's just alchemizing a mundane bow, but heavier. We can always enchant it later.

>>24367493
Agreed. Once we finally get that phoenix ass & dragonblood we're getting an impossible materials book from her.

>>24367507
Yes, I'm serious. Augments 100% all timeskip.

>>24367518
Think about it this way: the sooner we build any kind of bow, the sooner we can start training with it, which means we'll be better with it in the long run.

But 100% augments is probably the better "game" option, sadly.

>>24367507
It gets rolls out of the way, who doesn't like that?

>>24367571
And considering how poorly we did a while ago...

>>24367549
Training with a bow during a "you see nothing but stat increases" segment is a waste.

Yes, it's more boring to only do augments. But the entire timeskip is boring no matter what you do. You don't see the bow training.

All you're doing by taking augments out of the skip is making the actual game boring by forcing more sit-and-roll into that.


Time skips are for augments. They should always be for augments. And this one Will be for augments.

>>24367549
A non magic bow is going to snap like a twig in our hands right now. Especially once we augment further.
We have to make it magical to even use it properly. We should consult with Alexander on how to anyways.
And honestly, we should get alexander's magical martial arts training instead of bow training.

>>24367518
Note that while I agree about augmenting a lot, I think we should do 2:1 aug to studying ratio
And for our augments we should keep focus and calm and memory all at 2 points higher then physical augments since those improve augmentations or studying.

And actually, how about one of our timeskip project would be to make a choker that makes the wearer vulnerable to alchemy? To go back to earlier suggestion by carl on how we can get more augments done faster.

>>24367590
But Snapple muh opinions pls

>>24367590
Not advocating training with the bow. Not even advocating finishing it yet. Just want to get the most number of rolls out of the way off-screen.

If we can get respectable number of augs done and knock out rolls for the bow, I don't see how that's worse than respectable number of augs + 1.

>>24367590
Suck a dick, Snapple. I was all for augments over the skip, but you're being such an insufferable little shit that I've changed my mind.

>>24367590
>All you're doing by taking augments out of the skip is making the actual game boring by forcing more sit-and-roll into that.
So much truth. Supporting augments for timeskip.

>>24367579
Timeskips are always successful so far

>>24367590
Snapple, chill. The bow is a piddling number of rolls next to the level of augments we're on. Let the dude have his like, three rolls to make a big bow and stop being a little brat about it.

>>24367659
No, you misunderstand. I meant that as a + for wanting to use our augments in a timeskip. So that we wouldn't have to roll it ourselves right after we've just had a terrible rolling streak.

>>24367671
Timeskips aren't rolls. You get a set number of actions and the bow will take a huge chunk out of augment time compared to doing it in game.

God, I hope Fem comes back soon, Snapple's getting whiny again.

Best augments for both bow and martial arts would be Strength, Durability, and Speed, right? A double action of those augments and maybe studying to cover our weaker magic types would be best imo.

>>24367590
I would rather boost enchantment while slogging through the mind drill which also takes forever

Learn sorcery from Piere while making him obediant to us

Learn conjuration while building the ecosystem.

>>24367629
>A non magic bow is going to snap like a twig in our hands right now

Out of common materials yes but if we use rare super strong mundane materials like we plan to for our armor then no you are idiotically wrong.

>>24367671
>>24367706
a mundane super bow is 1 successful alchemy role and likely free.

Snapple you were there when fem gave us this tidbit don't you remember?

>>24367493
>We still need to investigate magical materials to make arrows out of. Which would be something worth bribing the librarian for a book on.
What about using whatever we intend as a bribe to trade via sam's contacts for a premade high quality magical bow? We could hunt something rare for components and trade them for a finished bow...
Or heck, rather then via sam's contacts just inside the lotus themselves. Maybe alexander would trade one of his older enchanted bows for some phoenix dust? (speaking of, perhaps we can help dad acquire that faster)

>>24367706
Fem has always let us do small stuff in the background of timeskips without stealing "huge chunks" out of our major actions.

>>24367733
How about replacing Speed with Coordination? Since I don't see Speed factoring in that much for bows.

>>24367687
I guess I'm confused. Explain your idea in simple terms

>>24367760
Speed's already higher too, so Coordination would be a better bet.

>>24367756
People aren't saying 'small stuff' for this bow. Well, most of them aren't.

If we can get it free, get it. We are not spending any augment time on making a fancy enchanted bow out of magic materials when we aren't even able to use it yet.

>>24367767
He's just saying that we've been rolling poorly lately, so doing thing that require lots of rolling (like making augments) are best done with guaranteed success, in the timeskip.

>lrn 2 reading comprehension

I see no-one remembered the bow.
Or the tentacle room... ;_;

>>24367767
Since we've just had some bad luck, it'd be better to get guaranteed successes at augmentation rather than to do it ourselves and risk having our bad luck still affect us.

>>24367779
It doesn't have to be magical yet, and a couple simple alchemy rolls aren't going to steal away all your precious augments, Snapple. Take a deep breath.

And all we've been doing is talk about the bow.

Okay, so. I'm throwing in my vote for augmenting strength, durability, and coordination.

>>24367805
What do you mean?

Oh, also, another thing. We found a long abandoned sanctum with crumbling books. We should spend some time restoring them with alchemy. If any are overdue library books the librarian might be happy with us for returning them. Plus we get to read them.

>>24367744
we don't even need magical materials at our level we can make shit like tungsten woven spider silk and carbon nanobots fem explained this

Guys, could we, in the future, use living alchemy to modify our eyes to focus so intensely that we can see things that are microscopic and/or hundreds of yards away? Would go nice with the archery.

>>24367817
>a couple simple alchemy rolls
Timeskips. Aren't. Rolls.

You get a set number of actions and do them. A good bow will take actions away from the augments.

If we can get a bow without doing that, awesome. But I doubt it. And I refuse to let the bow infringe on the augments.

>>24367846
Not worth doing during the timeskip, but we should check it out afterwards.

>>24367823

>>24367865
Exactly. We can have our second daughter hatch, and then head off to the sanctum to talk to Alex, get stuff outta the way, get info on bowmaking, and then head back home to craft the SHIT out of stuff for a bow.

>>24367760
>Coordination
helps us aim speed helps us track fast targets and ROF both are good.

>>24367865
Jesus Christ, man. Since it's only a couple small actions, I *bet* Fem will let us do it in the background as a minor action. It's like you don't even want to understand.

I'm okay with the bow augments. The side action of teaching Selene is first priority

>>24367846
Yes, finally getting traction on this idea.

But yeah, let's do it after the TS. And after our second kid is out and about.

The ceiling is tentacles.

And you are clearly not reading his entire post, because he's agreeing with you that we can do it if it only takes a couple minor actions.

>>24367891
>I *bet* Fem will let us do it in the background as a minor action. It's like you don't even want to understand.
I understand. And I've said that if it's a minor background action that does not infringe on the main actions then I have no reason to oppose it.

But I don't think it will be a minor background action. I *bet* it will eat up a main action.

So, consensus, guys? What are we doing?

I'm thinking the majority vote has already gone to the augments?

>>24367984
Fuck yes the majority of the vote is augments.

Big three body augs; str, dur, spd. Preference to the first two.

>>24367979
Yes, and their tentacles are tentacles.
The entire things is powered by tentacle spirits.

>>24367984
Get all the augs we need for training with Alexander and for the bow.

If Fem says we can do more, that's just gravy, but I bet that'll take up most, if not all, of our time.

>>24368000
If we can't do 3 augs from +2->+3, we should leave Speed and pick up Coordination instead.

>>24367984
Consensus seems to be to make a basic bow as a minor action that does not take up time if fem allows it. Otherwise leave it for post timeskip.

And for the timeskip itself lets have a concise vote.
So far it seems there are various people for augmenting and studying. And no agreement on what to augment or study.

So I suggest two rounds of votes.
First round to determine ratio of aug:study to do.
Second round to determine which aug/studies to do.

>>24368037

>>24368220
I am elaborating on my earlier post. here >>24368111

first i remind everyone fem lets each aug action help multiple augs
then give an ordered list of what i want to aug

then i specify what 2 study actions i wanted from >>24368111

>>24368218
Getting two +3 mentals is 18 successes.

Getting two +3 bodies is 24 successes.

We have 3 alchemy and 4 enchantment.

If we get calm and focus in TS now and str and dur out of skip later that means we roll 9 dice per three hours for getting 24.

If we get str and dur in TS now and calm and focus later then we roll 8 dice per three hours to get 18.

Getting body now and mental later is actually easier.

>>24368274
So you're suggesting 5 things to do? That was what I wanted to clarify.

By the way, guy, by the time winter break comes around, I say we need to officially decide, as a group, our end-goals as far as combat goes. Magic can stay varied and well-versed, but putting our combat skills all over the place will make us decent at everything while excellent at absolutely nothing, which WILL bite us in the ass at some point.

I say this because deciding our final end-game combat role will let us narrow down what augs we need to constantly increase, and which we can leave at, say +3. It'll make it much easier to decide what to do in these timeskips.

is this a good orderd list of minor actions?
Have everyone Pitch in and teach out daughter in there spare time.
Mundane super bow
Slowly assemble 3 sets each of Focus crafting and basic transmutation foci(1 drain and 3 boost for each set).
Study BSDM with Liz and Yin/Yang.
Make the bedframe sturdier and add metal rings for attaching restraints.
get the stuff on our shopping list.
Have Liz design her tattoo.
Have Liz tattoo the meals (practice on raw pork bellies).
Crafting defensive tattoo foci.
Apothecary cabinets.

>>24368037
Ratio: 2x augment, 1x study

Study: conjuration or sorcery with study group (lin, liz, sam, and hera)

Eh, not strictly true. It's very hard to actually specialize, as the number of rolls to improve get exponentially bigger, and we don't want to be coming up against an enemy who is well-warded against Enchantment, but we can can't use anything else to take him down.

There are no universal defenses, so we should be ready to use any school to get at weak points.

No.

Getting body now and mental next is easier than getting body now and mental next, even with the boosts from calm and focus.
