In this quest you play as the voices in the head of a luckless scout on a transdimensional race. And the pace is about to be picked up.

When last we left off the unlikely band of Transpace Guard Scott Yellowman, Grand Crusade paladin Elyse, Ex New Vegas bouncer Charlie, and Zoq-Fot-Pik ship technician Fat Fot Pot were in the process of fleeing from who they presume to be Kronar, Son of Man. The axe wielding barbarian is a mile behind them as they struggle onward with a donkey full of loot and healing potions.
>>
>>24831832
Keep moving. Could be Kronar, could be Azatoth. Either way, bad news.
>>
>>24831832
So who's hoping the next world is some sort of Bonus Stage where we can rest for a week. Because goddamn, we'll all need it after Oglaf.
>>
Too bad we can't turn the potions into "First Aid Syringes."

Easier to use than potions. We'll have to remember that if the next area is technologically advanced.

It's a pretty harrowing forced march through the Plains of Irritation, but your group manages, putting mile after mile behind them. With no sign of the axe-wielder, even from Fat-Fot-Pot's overwatch high in the sky, a collective sigh of relief is let out. Furthermore, Fat-Fot-Pot shouts down from the air that a pair of cities and a castle is within sight. Could your destination be nigh?

Well, in one we'll be safe but called a slut. The other with the big castle is our target.

"Awesome! It's all clear all the way to th-" Pot begins to say. Yellowman interrupts, pointing.

"What the hell is that in the sky?!" he shouts.

Mostly hidden in the dark night sky, a humanoid shape flies overheard, dim flames trailing behind it, providing just enough illumination to get its general outline.

"...except that!" Pot finishes. "You didn't let me finish! EXCEPT for the flaming flying human thing!"

"If it was another racer, then my card would be pulsing, so it can't..." Yellowman begins to say.

Yellowman's, Elyse's, and Charlie's cards all begin pulsing in unison as the shape gets closer.

"...can't possibly be my lucky day," Yellowman finishes. "Yeah, it's a racer. Running. I agree. Running is good."

"But where to?" Charlie asks. "Your floaty friend up there saw two cities and a castle. Which are we running towards?! And directions, please?"
>>
>>24832381
2 cities. So that's before the Apprentice escapes.
Go for the golden city. They are hilariously ineffective at fighting.
>>
>>24832381
I assume the Castle is where we want to go, which means we don't want to run right up to it. One of the cities can only be seen by virgins I believe, so if you all can see it, it might be a good hiding place.
>>
Ok, Elyse, Charlie, Yellowman. This may be a longshot, but if you are all virgins, go for the golden city.

If you aren't. Go to the other city.

"OK, everyone here is a virgin, right?" Yellowman asks

He is immediately slapped by Elyse, punched by Charlie, and ineffectively kicked by Sam.

"OWWWW!" Scott shouts, shaking his head and growling. "I NEED TO KNOW SO I KNOW WHICH CITY TO HEAD FOR!"

"What the hell do our sex lives have to do with running to SAVE our lives?!" Charlie demands.

"It's a long story, one of the cities... You know? Screw it. We'll head for the golden city and see how that works," Scott grumbles. "Hey Pot! Guide us to the golden city!"

"Sure thing, boss! Just follow me!" Pot calls out, floating ahead as the humanoid shape continues to grow in size. Scott swears.

"Don't know if we're gonna make it. Double time, people!!!"

The shape gets larger and larger, close enough for Yellowman to get a good look at it despite the low light. A loud click is heard and an electronically amplified voice booms from the sky.

"Drop your weapons and lay down on the ground!" comes the demand.

"Almost there!" Pot cheers as the group bursts through the last of the tall grass to behold a large field between them and the walls of a shining, golden city.

"Wow, golden spires! It's as glitzy as the Strip!" Charlie whistles.

"Fortified walls! We'll be safe there!" Elyse sighs with relief.

"What are you people talking about?!" Sam shouts. "Yellowman, why are you laughing?!"

"Nothing... nothing... I just know something I can hang over someone's head later," Scott says, trying and failing to keep a smug grin off his face.

"What are you talking about?" Elyse asks, blinking. "Are we going to the city?"

"WHAT city?!" Sam screams.

"That city... You can't... Doc, can you see it?" Charlie asks Yellowman. The grin fades.

"...yes. I can," Scott mutters.

"LAST WARNING!" the voice booms as the flying man gets closer.
>>
I wonder if the "Girl water" turning him into a chick would count enough to let him enter the city?
>>
Well, I suppose worst thing that could happen if it doesn't is Sam gets left behind while we enter the city.

Offer Sam the water. It should allow him to enter the city as he would be a "Virgin woman."

Sam eyes the water warily.

"You really think I'm gonna drink that stuff again?" he asks.

"It's that or get left behind to deal with the power armored guy," Yellowman says.

Sam spits. "Forget it! I'd rather die than lose my manhood again!"

Looks like Scott might need some help convincing Sam.

Elyse can fix it later! Just drink the water!
>>
>>24833294

You specifically said that your age made IT not work right, right?

Elyse can reverse it later, you'll be able to run without getting winded, and you'll have a solid chance at getting that wish! You wanna die an old guy in the middle of some sick fantasy parody, or do you want to make it back to your world so you can get back to being a legend amongst insane mercenaries?
>>
>>24833274
Goddammit, haven't you ever had surgery done to get past security in order to hit up a Saeder-Krupp facility and so the fucking dragon doesn't come after you?

Okay, so got a solid ID on the Powered Armor:

Not something we want to have to face off against. I wonder if this is from that bounty hunter that's traveling with the assassin droid.
>>
>>24833304
It probably won't work.

I mean his old man form isn't even his original appearance aged up is it?

It's just some random old dude.
>>
>>24833882
true, but the rules of virginity are weird in this universe. The default "form" of a girl is a virgin, so if taking the potion pops a hymen in him, he should be able to see the city.

And if not? Well, then there's a nearly naked girl for the bounty hunter to target.

Yelloman parrots your words and with an agonized grunt the old man takes the water and drinks it, transforming again into the form of the young maiden.

"Just for the record, I hate you for this," Sam grumbles. "Hey, where'd that city come from?"

"Oh for fuck's sake, grow up," Yellowman grouses. "You sound like a child. Ooooh, I have cooooties now! Baaaaw!"

"Pushing it, funny man," Sam growls.

"YELLOWman, thanks," Scott says as he dashes for the city. "Now RUN FOR YOUR GODDAMN LIVES!"

>Lost 1 Potion of Girl.

Well looks like the gambit was successful.

...Now lets hope that the person wearing that power armor isn't a virgin.

Aw man. I was hoping to be able to keep at least 1 flask of the stuff for trading purposes.

Well, at least they do when we have no available resurrection. I miss our RED2 and ReRaise.

"TIME'S UP!" the man in armor booms as a hail of missiles and blaster bolts rains down on the group. Yellowman's feet do not fail him and he dances aside from blast after blast, leaping over the crater a cannon shot makes in front of him to reach the city. Charlie manages to do almost as well, coming out without a scratch, but less gracefully. Fat Fot Pot, Sam, even the donkey all make it to the gate without any wounds. Only Elyse seems to have fate spit on her, a blaster bolt burning into her side as she runs for the door. She lets out a small yelp of pain, but presses on.

>Elyse loses one wound.

As the group reaches the gate, the figure in power armor suddenly stops, flying around as if searching for something.
>>
>>24834269
>flying around as if searching for something.
Okay, magical wards DO defeat technological sensors.

We'll have FFP heal Elyse as soon as we're inside the city walls.
Scott, do you see the city gates?

RED-2-GENERIC, ReRaise, and EBO Cortical Stacks. Even a Federation Medkit and medical tricorder would be nice to have.

Should be more specific.
Are the gates open or closed?
If open, go inside.
If closed, look up, there should be a pair of guards.

Also, watch out for oil from above.

If they ask, just say we're returning citizens.

The wooden gate is closed. There doesn't seem to be anyone in plain view, but the glow of lights in the two towers on either side of the gate indicate the presence of guards in them.

>>24834468
"It's a long sto... No, it's fifteen long stories, and I sure as hell DON'T want to tell them," Yellowman grumbles.
>>
>>24834715
Scott, bang on the gate, wake up the guards and tell them to open up.
>>
>>24834715
>>24834751

Perhaps not demand they open up, but politely explain that you are weary travelers in need of shelter and rest. The guardsmen here are a jumpy lot.
>>
>>24835103
>The guardsmen here are a jumpy lot.
They're also kind of stupid and incompetent.
>>
>>24835116

This is true. But dealing with them politely and courteously when they may have been dealing with all sorts of weird folk could go a long way to not making them jump to wild conclusions and attempt to rally the city against Yellowman & co.
>>
>>24835103
>>24834751
"Hey! Open the gates! We're weary travelers in need of shelter and rest," Yellowman calls.

"Of... Of course!" a voice says from behind the gate. "Wait right there!"
>>
>>24835183
...They're warming up the hot oil, aren't they?
>>
>>24835183
"Hey! You're just warming up the boiling oil to pour on us, aren't you!
"What do you take us for, sluts?! We can see your city, we're obviously not!"
>>
>>24835206
"Oh my god, the sluts can see our ruse witho-" one begins to say.

"That joke's been done before too!" Yellowman shouts. "Let us in!"

"Just wait there!" a guard says, peeking over the wall's top. "We're... We're just trying to unbar the door! Very heavy! Very sturdy!"
>>
We are visiting from the other city of virgins on the other side of the forest. Let us in so we may go shopping and browse the fine wares of this city.
>>
>>24835372
"Cut it out and open the damn door, and stop being such limp-wristed catamites that you automatically assume anyone who comes to the gates of your city are sluts bent on destroying your way of life, you idiots!
"We're customers! Now open the damn door, or we'll open it ourselves and send you the bill!"

Doesn't Elyse have a laser sword of some kind?
>>
>>24835438

Perhaps Elyse can add in some re-assurances to calm down the guards? She's a paladin and a Grand Crusade member to boot. Paladins are pretty charismatic and benevolent, and she's bound to have some PR training as to how to calm down hysterical and possibly quite stupid and unreasonable people.
>>
>>24835492
Maybe that would work on a regular world, but these are Oglaf-stupid people.
I still think we should cut open the door, beat up the guards, drag them to the city council, and demand to know if this is how they treat their customers, and if so, we can spend our gold ELSEWHERE.
>>
Have Elyse try to talk to them. If she fails.

Cut through the door and demand to speak to their superior. They should not treat a customer like this.
>>
>>24835589

Or we could make up some crazy shit like "We are members of the Ancient and Holy Order of Customer Satisfaction. We heard that your city has been denying entry to virgin customers with perfectly good money for fear of attracting sluts. As such, we conducted a test to see if this was true; needless to say, you all failed. We'd like to investigate the city and talk to your city administrators."
>>
>>24835372
Why not just try and get them to slip up, and then stupid the door open? Or we can have Yellowman grapple up there and then open it himself.

"Elyse, you're a paladin with all that goodness and purity mumbo jumbo, see if you can't talk sense into them," Yellowman asks.

"Er... I'll try..." Elyse says, stepping forward.

"If it doesn't work, I guess I could try and grapple up there, or just cut open the door with your photon sword..." Yellowman murmurs.
>>
>>24836026
"Please let us in! We're not sluts, how could we see your city if we were? I'm a paladin of the Shining Light!" Elyse calls up. "We're called on to be bastions of purity and good!"

"Never heard of it! And some things don't count!" the guard on top yells back. "I bet you've done flang a million times, you hussy!"

"What the hell is flang?" Charlie asks.

"I don't know, and even if I did, I'm not sure I'd want to tell you," Yellowman replies.

"H-Hussy?!" Elyse says in shock. "Why... You... You... Apologize right now!"

"Fine, I'll apologize."

"Really?"

"Yeah, wait right there."
>>
>>24836090

Watch out, Elyse! They might attempt to immerse you in lukewarm oil! Which is pretty nasty, you don't want to get hit by that.
>>
>>24836090
NOW can we cut down the door?
Elyse, cut it down with your photon blade. I hope it's as good as a lightsaber.

Yeah, let's just get in there. Cut a person-sized hole in the gate and proceed carefully inside.
>>

Well, if the photon sword doesn't work, Scott can use his Grapple to get up to where they're getting the oil ready, and beat some sense into those guards.

Elyse stands there for a minute, looking expectantly. She begins tapping her foot impatiently.

"Well?!" she shouts, exasperated.

"I'm trying to think of a really good, flowery apology! Keep waiting and don't move!" the guard calls down.

"I smell oil," Charlie says. Elyse's eyebrow twitches.

"You know they're not going to apologize, right?" Yellowman asks, leaning over to the numan paladin. She heaves a long and tired sigh.

"...yeah."

"You wanna just cut through the door?" Yellowman suggests. Elyse draws her photon sword.

"Guess I'll have to. Ready or not, here I come!" Elyse calls, bringing the sword down on the wooden gate. Despite being a foot thick, the gate is still just made of wood, and the energy blade burns through it with ease. Elyse expertly cuts a man-sized outline in the wood, then kicks it inward. The chunk of wood falls inward with a grown, revealing a long street and scattered people that turn and look at the breached door with alarm.

"S-s-SLUTS!" one of the guards screams. "SLUTS IN THE CITY!!!!"
>>
eh. If they want to play it this way.

Look around for a general goods or magic shop.
>>
>>24836512
"Customers, you daft lummox! CUSTOMERS! You want us spending our gold here or not!
"I demand to speak with your manager! I'm filing a complaint with the city council at this outrageous behavior!
"I'll have your badge for this!"
>>
>>24836512

"We're not sluts! We're virgins who heard of this wondrous community of fellow puritans, and wanted to see how this city's greatness with our own eyes, and invest our money to help ensure its future prosperity. And what did we see? Paranoid and extremely rude guards who turned us away at the gate and mocked us! Left us out in the cold to rot with the impure!"
>>
>>24836611
>>24836735
"Lies!" the guard from on top of the gate calls, still stirring the cauldron of oil he has burning. "You came from the outside, so you MUST be sluts! Call the rest of the guard!!!"

The other villagers begin to scream and run.

"Nothing like a mass panic for public address," Elyse groans.

"Yeah, but it'll make getting lost in the confusion that much easier," Charlie says. "I say we just say screw it and hoof it through this crazy burg. We only need to travel out the other end, right? Should be easy if they're all this cowardly."
>>
>>24836811
Actually, we gotta make sure that the bounty hunter with the military-grade powered armor isn't still lurking outside.

Maybe we should grab one of the guards and demand to be taken to the city council, and receive restitution for this affront?
>>
>>24836811
Charlie makes a good point.

They're probably too pathetic to actually make any legitimate attempts at attack, so it should be smooth sailing from here on out.
>>
>>24836884

Might as well. Although with everyone's special abilities drained, we won't be in top form for a fight OR for scaling the sorceress' tower. We need to find a place to rest or some way to convince the town that Yellowman & Co. are pure.
>>
>>24836947
>convince the town that Yellowman & Co. are pure.
We can see the town.
We couldn't see the town if we weren't pure.
That's the whole fucking point of the glamour they have on it.

Anyway, they've got some magic item shops, but don't trust the on by the East Gate.
We might be able to get some healing done.
>>
>>24836884
>>24836947
>>24837089
So just walk through the city keeping an eye open for magic shops?
>>
>>24837390
Can we grab a guard and have them take us to the city council so we can lodge our complaints about their terrible customer service?
Because otherwise, no one is going to sell to us (then again, that means we can take without paying).
>>
>>24837422

If we stick to our story and talk it over with the authorities, there's a chance that we might be able to trade in this town and possibly rest. On the other hand, that could just give the town guard time to organize and grow enough of a spine to attack a terribly outnumbered enemy.

But unless we want to rest out in the open with that power-armored guy hovering about, that might be our best bet here.
>>
>>24837505
The problem is that we don't know how long the bounty hunter is going to stick around before he busts through the castle walls.
I think we should demand to speak with the management; there's at least one guy on the City Council who's actually reasonable.
And honestly? Craven and cowardly guards armed only with basic spears versus a shotgun, a plasma rifle, a photon sword, and a big ol' cloud of spores? I think we'll actually be okay.
>>
>>24837628
>>24837505
>>24837422
So you're going to grab a guard and demand to be taken to their leader?
>>
>>24837677
I want to do it, because I hate these guards that much. There's a good argument for just blowing through here, but then again, we didn't get a chance to rest since exiting the Swamp so everyone might be running ragged and we might need rest. And we can't rest if the city guard are trying to arrest us.
>>
>>24837712
Well I guess you guys can have time to hammer out a plan because I need to leave. We'll pick up tomorrow at the same time.
>>
Okay, we have 2 plans:
1. "I Demand To See Your Manager". We grab a guard, and hit him about the face until he takes us to the City Council, where we demand satisfaction, if this is how they treat their customers. We've got enough firepower that we could kill our way through if need be.
Pros: get rest, get to buy items we need, hide from the bounty hunter until he tries to breach the castle
Cons: might get into a fight and use more valuable ammunition

2. "5 Finger Discount, Let's Blow This Popsicle Stand". We simply go through the town, looting stores as we go, and leave through the other side.
Pros: less likely to have to fight guards, merchants are likely to have abandoned their stores and stalls so we can simply take stuff.
Cons: no rest, and the bounty hunter might still be around.
>>
>>24838363

Let's go with #1, then. Elyse would certainly protest to stealing anything or mugging anyone, and may even align herself against Yellowman & Co. if that happens.
>>

Well, you don't HAVE to steal things with #2; you can just leave the money on the counter.

It would be really nice to have the group rest up before grappling with the Sorceress-queen's tower, though.
>>

>>24840022
I'm with "Money on the Counter. And if we have time, leave a strongly worded letter explaining that not everyone is a slut, that since only virgins can see the city we must be virgins, and that we're rather disappointed in them. In fact, focus on the disappointment. Make them feel shame for their rudeness.

Oh, don't take any drinks from anybody, and stay out of the monster shop.
>>
>>24838363
Voting for #1.
Man, I hope we can go Taken on some idiot native. Maybe the guard that called us sluts and called Elyse a hussy.
I want to beat the stupid out of them.
If only we had access to a pair of nails, some rope, a chair, a length of wire, and a reliable and steady source of electricity we could turn on and off with the flick of a switch.

But really, the group has been on a constant march, been in a fight, and run from a child-god since they got up this morning. They need rest and to recharge some of their abilities. Can't do that if we're just passing through the town, and the Sorceress-Queen's guards will be all over the other city.

Yellowman doesn't have to wait long before a guard rushes him with a spear. The Scout Commander sidesteps the thrust, grabs the polearm, and yanks it out of the soldier's hands. Tossing it aside, he grabs the shocked guard by the front of his banded mail and brings his face to his.

"STOP. DOING. THAT," he hisses. The guard shakes.

"Please don't violate me," he whimpers. Yellowman smacks him upside the head.

"That's for being stupid! We're all virgins or we wouldn't be in this stupid city! We're customers, you've treated us like common sluts, and we demand to speak with your manager!"

"Whoa, hey, now, I ain't no virgin..." Charlie protests.

"Blowjobs don't count," Yellowman says with a tired sigh.

"What? Who says they don't count? That's my fa-" Charlie begins to say. Sam smacks him on the head.

"Shut up, you brainless poker-head!" 'she' hisses. Charlie immediately zips it.

"Aaaanyway," Yellowman repeats. "Take us to your leader."

"But... but..." the guard sputters.

"NOW!" Yellowman shouts, pushing him forward with the hand that had been holding him. The other hand was now unsheathing his saber and jamming it threateningly against his back.

"Is all this really neccessary?" Elyse murmurs. "I mean, we could just-"

"I can't believe I'm the prisoner of sluts and hussies!" the guard wails as he begins to walk forward. Elyse's eyes narrow.

"Nevermind. This must be the karmic kind of justice."
>>
>>24851330
"Exactly, Elyse.
"There's stupid but well-meaning, and them there's just plain stupid, and it being the duty of the righteous to beat the stupid out of people. This is the latter."

>>24851330
The guard leads the group through deserted streets and squares, first passing by one and two story stone houses, then by three and four story mansions of alabaster and ivory, and finally ending at the center of the center, surrounded by spires of gleaming white and shining gold. Everywhere they go, they feel hundreds of eyes on them.

"Fancier and fancier..." Charlie whistles. "Wonder if any of these joints is a casino?"

"That place over there looks like a cathedral. If all the people are like the ones we've encountered so far, their god must have his or her hands full keeping them safe," Elyse comments. Sam snorts at this comment, but says nothing.

"Wow! Makes me wish we had time to sight-see!" Fat remarks, zipping around Yellowman's head.

"They'd probably stick you in a cage and try to sell you as one of their monsters," Yellowman remarks.

"Awwww. Wait, we can talk! They'd know not to sell us!" Pot says.

"Talking monster," Yellowman shrugs.

"We're... ah... here," the guard says as the group stops in front of an impressive edifice gilded with gold and silver. A pair of heavy stone doors carved with many images of flowers stands as the entrance. "So... ah... you can... you can let me go, right? Right?"
>>
>>24851416
Once we see people, we'll let you go as a gesture of good faith.

>>24851416
Better keep him with you, at least so he doesn't run off and do anything stupid.

The guard looks at the gate, then back to the group, then back to the gate.

Then he attempts to bolt.

Yellowman easily grabs him by the shoulder. "You ain't going nowhere, flower boy. Now open that gate."

"I can't! They won't let me in with you there!" the guard shrieks.

>64
"We ARE being watched," Elyse notes, looking at the towers soaring above them.

>>24851706
Charlie looks at the gate.
"So... what now? Just cut our way in? Try talking? What?"
>>
>>24851983
Eh, they won't talk to us no matter what unless we meet that one useful old guy.

Let's just leave and visit a couple magic shops on the way out.

>>24852023

We could also try to let *him* do the talking and get them to let us in.

Alternatively, we could just hold him and then hoof it out of the city, then let him go as soon as we're through.

"C-c-customers!" the guard calls. "H-h-here to see m-m-monsters! Not sluts! Honest!"

"Yeah, that'll w-w-w-work," Yellowman grouses.

"Oh yeah?" a voice calls from the slit-like windows of the lower towers. "Prove it!"

"How would we be able to enter the city if we were sluts?" Elyse asks.

"Slut magic!" the voice replies. "Slut-cunning! Who knows what sort of foul mischievous arts you employ as you murder our citizens and terrorize our town!"

"WE JUST GOT HERE!" Yellowman bellows. "How have we murdered ANYONE?!"

"How do WE know you just got here?" the voice asks.

"YOUR GUARDS SAW US!" Yellowman shouts. "Why would we exit the city only to come back if we were murderers?!"

"SLUT-murderers!" the voice corrects.

"STOP SAYING 'SLUT'!" Yellowman cries, one hand clenching his forehead.
>>
>>24852676
Dat Oglaf logic!

>>24852724

We could try feeding them some line about needing supplies and rest because we need to foil a plot of the sorceress-queen. She's preparing to cast a powerful scrying spell that will let her see past any glamor, any illusion, and any falsehood. When she completes this spell and sees that an opulent city has somehow been hidden under her nose for an ungodly amount of time, what do you think she'll do?
>>
>>24852831
Or point out that Kronar is on the way and will likely ass-rape everyone is in the town.

>I'd rather leave this one as a surprise to them, though.
>>
>>24852883
I like this idea. Can we do this?

"THE SORCERESS QUEEN HAS SENT KRONAR AFTER THIS CITY!"
>>
>>24853023

It fits in so well! Kronar has never "known a woman's taint", so he can see the city. And what will he do to a city that has buildings made of gold with guards that can barely stand up for themselves?
>>
>>24852791
"How do WE know you're not a slut that's infiltrated the city with your slutcraft?!" Yellowman demands. An indignant and shocked sputter is heard from above.

"You- I- I NEVER..." the guard exclaims. "I am NOT a slut! We of the Vanorvan Guard are renown for our purity!"

"So are the paladins of the Shining Light, yet you claim me to be a slut? Only a TRUE slut would dare to say such things!" Elyse chimes in.

"It takes sluttiness to know sluttiness... I guess," Charlie says.

"Then how could I be a slut? IF you are not sluts and I think you're sluts, then clearly I don't know sluttiness, meaning that I cannot be a slut. But since you know that knowing sluttiness makes you a slut, then clearly YOU are the sluts!"

"But since you know that too, doesn't that make you a slut?" Elyse asks, puzzled.

The only reply is a frustrated scream.

>>24852883
>>24853023
>>24853070
"For fuck's sake, Kronar is on his way to rape all of you to death, now let us in so we can warn your leaders!" Yellowman exasperatedly shouts.

"Hold on, Kronar, Son of Man is coming HERE?! Why on earth didn't you just say so?!" the guard says as the stone doors swing open.

Yellowman's eyes twitch a little.

"Huh. Well that was easy," Charlie says.

"Are you OK?" Elyse asks, tilting her head at Yellowman. "You look... twitchy. And veiny. And awfully red."

"I'll... be... fine..." Yellowman gets out through grit teeth as he staggers forward.
>>
>>24853226
Upon entering the stone doors, a quarter of guards with flowers in their helmets and spears in their hands fall in on either side of Yellowman and company, keeping a wary eye on them for any trickery or sluttery. Through hall after hall of brilliant stained glass, art, and sculpture, the guards finally escort the band to a large meeting hall, over which stands a crowd of men and women in green, brown, and white robes. As always, flowers are in their hair and clothes.

"They say you sluts have come to us with word of Kronar," a young man with short brown hair says.

"...if one more person calls me a slut, I'm going to be sorely tempted to smite first and pray for repentance later," Elyse whispers to the others.

Think happy thoughts, Yellowman. Think of the good times!
>>
Last we saw of him, he had just burned, raped, and axed an innocent farmer and his house.

He was heading directly this way and may only be hours behind us.

I suggest you outfit us in your most powerful magical items and use us as decoys so he doesn't ass-rape and murder you all.
>>
>>24853323

Yes. We were passing through the Swamp of Despair to reach this city. Kronar was behind us all the way. We ran from him for many days, taking pains to hide our tracks and to travel through hidden paths. However, as we were passing through some grassfields, we heard him raging and cutting down massive swaths of grass nearby. It was then that we realized that he wasn't chasing us per se; he was cutting and raging and violating his way to a certain destination. We managed to run and elude his wrath until we reached the plains, but there was no doubt that he was heading directly this way.
>>
>>24853504

There is a pause as Yellowman makes this request, all eyes steadily on him.

"You don't think much of us here in Vanorva, do you?" an old man quietly asks.
>>
>>24853504
House rape is the worst crime. My first house was raped. The plumbing leaked from that day forwards. I think it was her tears.
>>
>>24853620
To be fair sir, you were attempting to have us wait for over an hour so that you could prepare the boiling oil. It's not a very good defensive strategy, especially against a hardened warrior like Kronar.
>>
>>24853656
Also, we could use a dictionary. Your guards kept mentioning acts we've never even heard of.
>>
>>24853656
>>24853787
"I knew it!" someone in the back cries. "The guard has been infiltrated by sluts!"

The old man heaves a sigh. "Someone shut up Boris. Competence of our guard aside, do you have any proof that Kronar is coming? The legends of his rapacity are... well, legendary. There is no way he should be able to see our fair city, let alone... raid it."
>>
>>24853620
"Your first line of actual defense was to ask a person to stay still while your guards heated up oil. That's generally considered to be lower than lowest-bidder material."
>>
>>24853876

My three associates here that are floating beside me can corroborate the story. We were resting in a grass field and sent them to scout out the area. They were waylaid by a very violent man wielding an axe, and capable of hurling boulders; they barely escaped with their lives. They also reported that a nearby farmhouse that we passed by was burning to the ground.
>>
>>24853876
From what we have found out, the wards on your city only prevent men who have had "Normal" sex with a woman and vice versa.

Kronar ass-rapes people. He very well may still be a "virgin."
>>
>>24853876
Well that depends, did whatever force that originally warded this city count anal as sex?
>>
>>24853876
Whether or not he sees it matters. He's going to run into a wall, which will cause him to smack face-first into it if he can't see it, which will make him think that there's an invisible city. If he can see it, then he still destroys everything.
>>
>>24853982
Correction: Whether or not he sees it DOESN'T matter.
>>
>>24853876
Anal doesn't count.
>>
>>24853982
City's warded so it doesn't "exist"

You can walk through it when you can't see it.

Although, it is Kronar, one of the most feared men in this entire canon.
>>
>>24853876
>proof of Kronar's advance
"Do you honestly think that we would have stuck around gathering evidence of Kronar's advance while he's still in the area?"
>>
>>24853982
Actually it's intangible to people who can't see it.

Like they'll walk through it as if its empty space.

And there's no use lying, since they already know that.
>>
>>24853967

He is also very particular about avoiding "Woman's Taint" as all of you are no doubt familiar with. Though we cannot personally say (or would want to find out), there is little reason to believe that this has changed lately.

"Oh. Oh my..." the old man shifts uncomfortably. "In that case, we will have to prepare the gu... We will have to prepare our finest daybeasts to face him if he draws near. He may yet be halted by the Mistress if she learns he is encroaching in her territory. An excellent plan, in fact. Tomas, go and send a messenger to our ambassador explaining the situation."

A young man bows and runs off as the old man returns his gaze to Yellowman.

"Thank you for the warning. Assuming this isn't some form of ruse."
>>
Do you have an inn we may stay in?

We have been on the move since yesterday and were unable to get much rest.

We would also like to shop for supplies and then we'll be on our way.
>>
>>24854220

You're welcome. And sorry about the whole mix-up back there. Things escalated rather quickly.
>>
>>24854289
The old man considers this. An elderly woman a few seats over speaks up.

"If you submit to a guarded escort while shopping, this may be acceptable. We have... special chambers you can use to sleep in," she says.

"Easily sterilized special chambers," the man with brown hairs mutters. "Don't get slut on anything."
>>
>>24854405
"You're not going to try to pour boiling oil into these 'special chambers', are you?"
>>
>>24854405

I will have to confer with my companions about this. Could I have a moment?
>>
>>24854405
>Don't get slut on anything
"Slut this, slut that. With you going on about sluts all the time, that's all you ever think about, isn't it? Are you people sure he's not some closet slut, thinking his slut thoughts and looking at people with slut eyes, and only vigorously denounces sluts because he's ashamed of secretly being a slut?"
>>
>>24854640
"It WOULD explain a few things..." the old man says, tapping his chin.

"The sl- These people are fine, get them out of here already," the brown haired one says.

>>24854630
"Certainly."

>>24854421
"No. We're going to need all of our oil for Kronar," one of the councilmen says. Charlie begins trying to restrain laughter.

"Probably could've phrased that a little better..." Yellowman winces.

"What do you mean?"

"...nevermind."

>When Yellowman consults with his companions...

"We're tired!" they say in unison.
>>
>>24854702
That's reasonable. Can we go shopping, then to the rooms where every party member makes a spot check?
>>
>>24854731
Meant trap check. I stayed up too late and got up too early.
>>
>>24854702
Alright. Let's get the shopping done and then we'll rest.
We've got 44 gold coins, 9 silver, 7 copper as of my last reckoning.

>>24854787
You also have the Airship Treasure and the Golden Tiara.

What sort of things are you looking to buy?
>>
>>24854787
>>24854839
Also, we do have the Ring of Bliss to offer. Maybe they can trick Kronar into putting it on? Even if it wouldn't work; it's still a powerful magic item to barter with.

>>24854839
Healing items, some armor for Sam and Charlie; any useful magic trinkets/goodies, with an emphasis on something like a Bag of Holding or Handy Haversack.

If there's a healer, get some magical healing done so we don't have to use up any of our potions or abilities when we wake up.

Well, we may actually want to get that in item form... After all, we do have Ed to contend with possibly... And last time they met up in-race Sam got his cyberware hacked to hell and back by Ed. He's actually better dealing with her as an un-cyber-augmented woman.

Reversing the curse may revert him back to his true Street Samurai form, but I'm not sure if his cybernetics would magically re-appear back in their proper place. He might just revert back to Six Slash Sam, but without all the bells and whistles.

>>24855199

From what Sam said earlier, Ed was able to immobilize him completely. If she put her mind to it, Ed could probably take control of any non-organic thing installed within Sam's body.
>>
>>24855199
Considering Ed's hacker levels? All three. At the same time.

Ed is at least Mouse-level with her hacking. In Cowboy Bebop, she's pretty much the best there is... And that's saying something considering some of the encryption they put on computers in that world.

Will those monsters explode if exposed to sunlight? 90% of their monsters do that.

The bedroll is kinda nice, but the armor would be great for Sam or Charlie. Charlie's wearing a suit, and Sam is currently protected by a bikini. It may behoove us to buy Sam some clothing that would work for a man or a woman in case he is polymorphed again.

>Airship Treasure
The mole may explode upon contact with daylight. Not a very versatile choice. Pass.

The Manta Ray is definitely useful, but it's also very conspicuous. We may not be able to fit it into small spaces or into buildings.

The treasure chest sounds the most useful from a utility standpoint. If it doesn't explode in daylight, that is.
>>
We COULD keep the AIRSHIP TREASURE until we get to an X-Files or other modern Earth world, pawn it off there, and use it to buy guns and tacticool gun accessories at a gun show.

With a hesitant grimace, the sellers admit the attack monster explodes in sunlight, and when pressed, directs you to variants on the chest and manta monsters that do NOT explode in sunlight.

>>24855683

How big is the flyer? Could it fold its wings to fit inside small spaces, or is it pretty much just one size only?

If it's fairly large and can't change size, then let's get the chest.
>>
>>24855751
Seconding this question before making a decision.
>>
>>24855751
But we can use the transport to get over the lard greased walls! That will surely make up for it.
>>
>>24855952

That's also true, but the Sorceress would surely see our approach. It would also stick out like a sore thumb in other places where fantastical flying creatures don't exist.
>>
>>24855952
But it makes a very fine target for all of the archers that the Sorceress has stationed on the walls.
>>
>>24856009
>>24856040
Then the question is, how high can we fly, and is it expected to rain?
>>
>>24855751
It can't really fit inside small spaces, and indeed has trouble in large rooms even.
>>
>>24856133
The Air Manta can fly up to a thousand feet off the ground.
>>
>>24856146
That's not bad actually. An english longbow has arrows release at a velocity of 66-100m/s, and since gravity decelerates that by 9.8m/s^2 they'd lose all velocity before hitting us. Just dive bomb the castle when we're above it to drop us on top!
>>
>>24856221
But as we come down, we'd be turned into pincushions as the archers turned around and fired into the courtyard, which is the only place we could land.
And then there's the good chance the Sorceress will blast us.

We could use the hidden tunnel to get in unnoticed.
Or we wait for the more combat-oriented Racers to arrive and blast a hole in the walls.

I thought we were behind all but that one guy who strafed us and the people from the swamp.

I'll leave the decision of what items to purchase up to you guys for a while longer. Choices will go into effect once you leave the city.

After Yellowman and his companions are done shopping, the guards usher them back to the central citadel, to a series of single rooms connected by a small sub-hall. Each room has a small but comfortable bed, and a chest of drawers in them.

"Single rooms as a precaution against any sluttiness you might be tempted to indulge in," one guard states.

"Man I'm gettin' awfully sick of that word," Charlie grouses. "And I thought I would NEVER get sick of that word."

"We'll have guards here all night long, so don't try anything!" the guard warns before walking off.

The night passes uneventfully, everyone in your team exhausted and quick to slumber.


The next morning everyone wakes up on the cold, bare ground. There is no sign of the city, its inhabitants, or the wealth within. All that remains is your gear and whatever you bought. As Yellowman's companions look around with confusion, Yellowman himself just shrugs and lies on the ground for a few moments.

"Eh. Better than waking up to fire."

Did they rape everyone in the night so we couldn't see the city anymore?

No, what likely happened is the curse on the city got broken, and it all evaporated.
http://oglaf.com/wake/3/

We should head towards the castle town, see if there's activity and if there's a general alert on or big holes in the castle walls.
>>
>>24856564
"Well whatever happened, we should head towards the second city an-" Yellowman begins.

"Hang on!" Sam interrupts, holding up a finger. "You said you'd turn me back, right? And miss goody goody here said her magic would be back after a night's rest, right? So make with the mojo!"

"But what if we need a sp-" Elyse begins to say, but Sam shuts her up with a furious glare.

"I've put up with a lot more transformations than I wanted to. Change me back. Now!"
>>
>>24856616
Sure. May as well try, Elyse. If it works, then Sam will have the augments and cybernetics back to possibly survive to the next world.
If he doesn't get anally raped or turned into a burnt skeleton by magic, that is.
>>
>>24856640

Be ready for a fight as well. While the city evaporated in the night and Yellowman and co. weren't attacked, we're out in the open. Get ready for a confrontation with that bounty hunter from last time, or some other horrible monster that catches sight of us.

>Purchases

The bedroll will be useful for the rest of the journey, but the armor might come in handy right in this stage. It may get eventually replaced, however.

As for the monster, the treasure chest sounds OK to me.
>>
>>24856711
>but the armor might come in handy right in this stage
But the advantage is that healing of the entire party is included.

Wait a minute.
MetaOP, before we finalize the purchases, can we get:
How would the magical banded mail stack up against, say, Level IV modern combat armor?
What was everyone's wounds at, after FFP and Elyse healing was applied last night?

If there was only 1 Wound or so left, then it might be better to get the Bedroll.
>>
>>24856616
Go ahead and try. However, Charlie, Yellowman, keep Sam covered. He's been rather angry and forceful lately, and I don't want to be caught blind if he decides to thank us by shooting us in the back.

The golden aura around Sam flares then vanishes, leaving in its place a muscular bald man with gleaming metal eyes. Guns are strapped to him in several places and knives in others. Metal claws pop in and out from wrist slots as he laughs hardily and pinches himself to make sure everything is in order.

"Well, well, well, you actually did it," Sam laughs. "Good going. I was beginning to think I was stuck in that body forever. Thanks for the help, I'll try not to shoot you when I'm claiming my wish."

With that, Sam turns and begins walking away.

>Elyse spells: 8/9
>>
>>24856853
Alright. We kept up our end of the deal, and he's keeping up his.
It's his decision if he wants to go alone now, but he shouldn't expect us to help him next time we meet.

"Oh hey, Sam, don't bother trying to climb the walls of the castle; they're greased against climbers. There's a secret tunnel that leads into the castle, but it's either infested with feral ghouls, or it's been collapsed. Word of advice, don't go after Ed. She can outdeck FastJack, Grid Reaper, Smiling Bandit, and even Captain Chaos while slicing through ZOG's ICE. Just not worth it going after her unless you're a mage with no chrome."

>>24856853
This sounds like he's not going to do the poker thing...

Also, I vote Bedroll and Mimic monster.
>>
>>24856853
>>24856923
>>24856940
If he's not in for poker, it's his loss.

The jab about Ed may change his mind though...

Bedroll/Mimic gets another vote.
>>
>>24856853
Yellowman, pat Elyse's shoulder and say something like. "These kinds of things happen, can't win them all. We just have to hope he remembers this good turn and pays it forward in the future."
>>
>>24856853

Keep an eye on him as he goes on his own way. Can't be too sure with 'runners.
>>
>>24856966
I just don't understand why he wouldn't join us in the Poker thing, especially since we might be able to get him what he wants, and helped him become male again and prevented his death over and over.
>>
>>24856853

When Sam moves, MetaOP, do we notice if it's unnaturally smooth? We need to start guessing at his 'ware. So far I'm seeing cybereyes, and arm spurs.
>>
>>24857083
He's a runner, he's got to reaffirm his manliness and badassitude. So he's trying to go off on his own to prove it.
>>
>>24857174
I think he mentioned having Wired Reflexes when we first met him. That's incompatible with the Move-By-Wire system, if I recall my Shadowrun correctly.
>>
>>24857203

That might be metaOP misstating though, better to find out now. Move-by-wire, even betaware (Assuming he's that well connected, which he seems to be) is a massive essence hit compared to wired reflexes, and offers a FUCKTON of different bonuses. Not worth taking the chance.
>>
>>24857242

Disregard previous, Wired is the same essence hit, just costs less (Meaning what idiot takes wired over MBW when MBW acts as skillwires, gives more bonuses, and initiative?)
>>
>>24856923
"I'll keep that in mind," Sam chuckles. "Almost makes me want to stick around with you. Almost. Maybe if you drop one of your friends I'd be tempted, though."

>Leadership: 3
>Insufficient for additional companion.
>You may allow Sam to leave or dismiss a companion to entice him to stay.

>>24856978
"This ain't nothing on you," Yellowman says, patting Elyse's shoulder. "Just have to hope this good turn sparks more in him."

"I know..." Elyse sighs. "I just... I just really hope letting him loose with his full abilities doesn't hurt more than it helps. For others, I mean."

>>24857174
It's fairly normal... for now, at least.
>>
>>24857285
I vote we allow him to leave. He's a good guy, I think, but he doesn't really want to stick with us. We can at least ask if he'd be willing to work together until the end of this level.
>>
>>24857285
For now, I think we should let him leave. Maybe we'll meet up again and with a higher Leadership we'll be able to recruit him.

If he really is going to go off on his own, and he won't work with us for the rest of the level, ask if he'll at least agree to a truce, here and for an hour in the next world.
>>
>>24857285
Ask him if he'd be willing to work with us until the end of the level. We have a better chance to get to the portal together.
Maybe ask him that even if we don't stick together now or after this level, if we meet again would he be willing to team up?
>>
>>24857285

Can we see any weapons on his person that look like a SCAR, or any easily ID'd Runner weapons? Or see any other 'ware on him? Jacks, ears, anything?
>>
>>24857323

Yeah. Charlie's cool, Fat-Fot-Pot is pretty handy and Transspace Guard personnel to boot. It'd be a dick move to leave Elyse alone here as well.
>>
>>24857285

As he leaves, ASK HIM WHAT YEAR IT IS IN HIS HOMEWORLD!

We need to know what edition he is to know how effective Ewar would be on his 'ware and guns.
>>
>>24857363
You identify an Ares Predator, heavily customized, on his hip, and the biggest gun he has looks to be a Panther Assault Cannon. A sniper rifle hangs from a strap on his back. No SCAR, though.
>>
>>24857380
FFP Has been with us since the beginning, I'm not sure I could live with abandoning him. Charlie was the first friend we made, and between Sam and Elyse Sam is the more individualistic. I admire him for that, but it means that he'll work better on his own than with us. Wish him luck, and give him the blanketrobe he wore as a token of goodwill. It'll be useful for disguise in technologically weak areas.
>>
>>24857423

What MODEL of Predator? IV?
>>
>>24857423
"With all that chrome you're packing, you'll draw less attention if you get yourself a trenchcoat and sunglasses as soon as you can."

What model of Predator can we identify?
III is SR3, IV is SR4.

"2058, why?"

>>24857358
"Relax, I'll try not to shoot you until you're all that's between me and the goal. Just don't get in my way."
>>
>>24857456

Just wondering, time is wonky sometimes.
>>
>>24857453

III.
>>
>>24857456
"Was just wondering if my reference to Captain Chaos would go over your head or if he was still relevant."
>>
>>24857490
>>24857526
Okay, so we let him go on his way.
...uh, guys.
It's morning now.
Has Kronar arrived here yet?
We should send FFP out to look to see if he's close or not.

"Friendly advice. Avoid Seattle in 2060. Don't ask why; it involves time shenanigans."

Well, at least he doesn't have access to post-Crash tech. That's good. I say keep our current group, and when we can pump a couple of points into Leadership.. Just in case.

Also, >>24857560. Dear lord >>24857560! >mfw Kronar actually catches up with us
>>
Actually this is probably a good place to stop. It'll give people not here a chance to give input on Sam and the monsters/items.

Also I'm tired.

Anyway, see you next Tuesday! Votes will be counted, plans will be made, and hopefully you'll finally be off this world since the only areas left are the castle and the city.

I will note again that the castle is not surrounded by the city, it is a short distance away.
>>
>>24857608
Goodnight MetaOP. Sleep well. I'll most likely kill you in the morning.
>>
>>24857623
Good luck, I'm behind seven sentry guns!
>>
>>24857690
But have you sealed the curtains, or purchased a canine?
>>
>>24857716
Yes, and yes, as it happens.
>>
Bump while reading so it doesn't 404
>>
>>24857608
What did we get in terms of items?
Hope we got the Banded Mail + the Chest Monster.
The Bedroll sounds useful too.

Can Elyse use one of her spell slots to heal the remaining wounds on people,
and to perhaps cast some sort of Luck buff? Even +1 to rolls throughout a session would be useful, though +5 would be ideal.
>>
>>24859673

The mail is more immediately useful, and the healing would be nice.

The bedroll would be useful at all levels, though. It depends if we want something that pays off now or would be useful throughout the entire race.
>>
>>24859673
The Banded Mail could be useful for Charlie, but is not easy to hide.
The Bedroll sounds useful, but it's only 1 Wound per 8 hours.

The Bedroll sounds like it'll be more useful by allowing for extra healing.
>>
It looks like we're getting the Bedroll and the Mimic-Chest if I'm reading the votes right.
>>
And were we able to trade the Ring of Bliss for anything?
>>
>>24866185
Apparently not. We might be able to pawn it off in a different fantasy&magic world.

Though I'm looking forward to robbing a bank in a modern Earth world.
>>
>>24866594
Bank. HA!

No, robbing a bank will have very little effect.
We'd be better off robbing a jewelry store. Gold keeps its value across dimensions.
>>
>>24867532
Actually, we need both.
We need to knock over the bank so that we can go to a gun show in either Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Georgia, or Mississippi.
Then we hit a jewelry store and get the gold and gems.

But we'll have to do it after we've identified the portal for that level; we want to plan it so that we can hit each one in quick succession, preferably in one day.
