Genderbent monsterloli quest. I think this might be a new low for /tg/

Guys, how about we combine blood and rain and just pick some poor slave baby!
And kill the parents so it doesn't get influenced and we can keep pretending it's been a scorpion all long.

>>28420725
Actually, make that Gold and Rain. Blood... eh. It affords more chances to what I assume will be the PC, but Gold and Rain actually have some sorta method to their madness.

After the other four priests are done blustering and pounding on the poor table, they settle down and have to admit that the Rain Priest is making the most sense. He may be the oldest and frailest, and his school of magic the least respected by the highborn, but dammit if he doesn't have some good ideas.

The next day, the Great Priests send heralds throughout the city escorted by loyal guards from the School of Adventurers and the School of Petty-Wizards. "Attention, all true sons and daughters of Ligish! Your king requires a young woman to embark on a spiritual journey." The more prudent heralds add, "And this time we're not just looking for blood sacrifices. This woman will actually survive her spiritual journey! She will return changed and restore Ligish to glory. Let those who do not fear service report to the pyramid's outer plaza at midday tomorrow."

The next day, crowds swarm around the pyramid, while guards organize a line of girls who have offered themselves. Some are women grown, others are barely old enough to walk, almost all look poor. Highborn girls from most of the nine rival Warriors' Schools pepper the line, though, as does the Bronze Priest's daughter.

The five Great Priests finally show themselves, their heavy hoods shielding their faces from the high sun. "So," asks the Blood Priest to his peers, "What is most important to us? Strength? Knowledge of warcraft? Loyalty to the priesthood? Something else? I don't care personally; I just want to get this farce over with a and pick one before someone gets it in their head to assassinate one of us."

Guys, seriously...
...What kind of "Growth" are we talking here?
I mean, how much is feeding a twelve story Mini-Kaijuess going to cost us?

Loyalty, to the point where she's kill herself without second thought.

She'll be a huge fucking scorpion, she can wing it and successfully waste people, and there's no reason we can't teach her to kill more effectively, you can't teach loyalty and it's harder to create than knowledge of vital physiology.

>>28420914
Well that depends on weather we're getting a Giant Scorpion Girl or not...

>>28420929
I hadn't considered that, but it would make things a lot better.

>>28420864
Loyalty and Youth.
We don't want someone motivated by personal reasons (ie a certain blood priest's daughter) and we DEFINITELY don't want someone who can be swayed with money (ie richfags).
Idealistic middle-income would be perfect.

>>28420929
Question asked by this one stands. Are we going to end up with a giant scorpion woman or a normal (like... centaur) sized one?

>>28420962
Indeed, so Blood, what kind of "Growth Potential" are we talking here?

>>28420914
Yeah, but knowledge of Warcraft gives a female complete power of all nearby virgins and neckbeards. Imagine how much that effect will be amplified by monstertits.

Giant would make more sense, since a regular scorpiongirl could still probably die to a regular spear and that's a whole lot of money down the drain if that happens.

"Loyalty!" Says the Bronze Priest without hesitation.
"Loyalty would seem the prudent choice," the Gold Priest chimes in. "A girl who cannot be bought. We have to buy enough as it is."
The Rain Priest simply nods.
The Sand Priest shrugs. "Loyalty is such a strong word... Gullibility. That word I like."

The priests take their time to question each girl. The ones who are too young or ignorant to even know who the priests are or what the King's name is are thrown out of the line. The children of the Warrior Schools are likewise removed from the line because they've been quarreling with each other so much - the Footmen's School has even declared a curfew of their own accord, without permission from the priests or the King. One girl is identified as the daughter of that tax collector who got turned into a hyrax, and she too is shooed away.

What remains is the Bronze Priest's pampered, slightly pudgy daughter and the older of the commoners and orphan girls. One of the older commoners claims to be a farmer's daughter and makes a very sweet declaration of love for the city and the gods. Another is the only commoner whose identity can be verified, a mason who works on the great public buildings and paints the statues by the front gates.

The Blood Priest knows what at least one of his peers will have to say about this choice, so he doesn't even bother to ask and makes the choice for himself.

>>28421038
>Unless you count the stinger
A stinger is fine, too. Then they slowly go limp as we fuck em into submission.

>>28420864
Prioritize youth and intelligence. We can teach how to fight, and loyalty can be molded over time by rewarding her for good behavior and hard work. But we can't make an idiot clever.

>>28421055
Mason's daughter. She can build a better future......from bones.

>>28420990
>>28420993
I'd go with a cross between these two; A youngling showing great potential, but of a low station where it would otherwise be wasted.

>>28421038
Indeed, no futa if we can help it...

>>28421055
Mason. The 'farmer's daughter' is obviously lying.

>>28421055
well, I say not the slightly pudgy daughter of the bronze priest. that's loyalty, sure... to the bronze priest.
Fuck that guy.
So choose one of the other ones.

>>28421055
Simple, get them together and declare to them that it was decided that none of them were worthy.

The first one to leave will be chosen, as she respected the choice of the priests.

First on the priests' agenda is restoring order to the city and teaching the Footmen's School that they're not such hot shit. Next on their shitlist is the city of Turtak, a former tributary to Ligish who recently sent an envoy to declare that they're not going to pay tribute any more. And the envoy was a centaur. They tried to kick him into a pit, but he jumped over it and ran away.

>>28421158
She's both. She's given the easier tasks like statue-painting whenever possible, but child labor is alive and well in Ligish. She seems like the most popular choice right now, so we'll probably go with her if nothing changes.

>>28421134

The Blood Priest smiles and spreads out his arms. "We asked for brave and strong servants... and we got this rabble. You are all unworthy of the gods' blessing. Please leave. We will find a girl by some other means."

The Bronze Priest's daughter looks at her father with a look that says "Seriously?" The others look at each other and hesitate a moment before turning their heads in defeat. But the first girl to leave the line is a completely different girl, an unknown orphan in filthy roughspun, who leaves first, turning tail and trying to run even before the Blood Priest's voice has finished echoing. She looks relieved.

The Blood Priest barks an order to the guards. "Stop them." The other girls stop willingly, except for the Blood Priest's daughter, who hasn't even moved yet, and the reluctant orphan, who's still kicking and weeping even while a guard holds her up by the shoulders and carries her back.

"Forgive me for misleading you. Even priests have a sense of humor." The Blood Priest approaches the reluctant orphan. "What's the matter, girl? Don't want to go on an adventure? Don't want to be special?"

She tries to kick the Blood Priest. "Not really! They made me go. I don't wanna leave my friends. I don't even know what this dumb thing is!"

The Blood Priest laughs. Trying to hit him is a capital offense, but not when it's this funny. "You stay at a poorhouse, yes? They wanted you to go because they can't feed you all. They know that when you come with us, you'll never go hungry again. You'll be able to see your friends again one day. And even better, you'll be keeping them safe while you're away. You'll be keeping bad men away from them."

She pouts. "I guess that's not so bad..."

"Good. Bring her in." The guard slings her over his shoulder and carries her to the pyramid. The Bronze Priest raises his voice in protest. The Blood Priest rolls his eyes. "When I want your opinion, you'll know it. This is our girl. Now the only question is where we're going to get a tubful of human blood for the ritual. We could empty the king's dungeons... or we could use the other volunteers. Minus your lovely daughter, of course. Unless you have any further objections!"

The Bronze Priest raises no further objections. He got told pretty hard. Instead he turns to his daughter. "Go back to your guards and run along home, sweetie. It's for the best."

The Gold Priest answers instead. "We have no shortage of prisoners. And we'd be doing a service to the city by bleeding the guilty rather than the innocent. Whether the blood of young virgins is really more magical, well, you would know better than I. That's not my kind of magic."

The Blood Priest shrugs. "Well... for certain applications... but we can't have the people thinking that we're thoughtless butchers. I pride myself on being an extremely thoughtful butcher."

The crowds gradually disperse. The Rain Priest notes that the "farmer's daughter" walks straight into the ranks of spearmen from the Footmen's School, and they walk away together.

The adventurers and petty-wizards in service to the priesthood head to the king's dungeons, where they round up every murderer, thief, and rapist, plus a few men who were just out after curfew. While they're at it, they inform the weak young King of the city of what the Great Priests plan to do. He approves as though he has a say in the matter.

The priests head back into the pyramid, surrounding the guard who carries the orphan girl. They ask her questions. "What's your name, then?"

Her weeping seems to have passed, and she answers before telling the guard to turn her right-side-up again.

(I'll accept names that sound Sumerian, Akkadian, or Babylonian, including any of the female names on http://www.peiraeuspubliclibrary.com/names/asia/babylonia.html )

>>28421954
It seems to me like the OH GOD NO guy is samefagging

>>28421958
let's just use prisoners.
Stop letting blood priest pursue his bizzare child killing fetish.

>>28421978

>>28421978

>>28422025
HOLY SHIT IT'S ALMOST LIKE MULTIPLE PEOPLE HAVE AN INTEREST IN THE CHOICE.

You're all bitching that the story is good effectively and that's it's drawn in a few people with strong opinions.

>>28421976
I like Ahatsunu.
Ahat is fine too.

>>28422064
I assure a compromise would be the best for both sides.
Her friends and prisioners.

>>28422084
I think we might have picked up a murderboner. That explains it.

>>28422091
Fitting for a character that's about to become an abomination, anyway.

>>28422080
>>28421976
I sort of like Hunzuu

>>28422084
I second this.

>>28422110
sounds good

>>28422112
>>28422084
well, then I have to anti-second it, because it's dumb for the sake of being dumb.

>>28422104
Its cool, once our scorploli gets corrupted by the impure blood of a dozen violent souls and goes on an indiscriminate killing spree, we will get to say I told you so.

>>28422131
you really did not tell anyone that at any point before just now.

>>28422131
Looking forward for saying "told you so", then.

Amata jumped out at me

>>28421976
How about Ishtar?

>>28422144
Right, because using tainted blood is just the greatest of ideas. Think before you sacrifice, dipshit.

>>28422171
i guess blood priest thought it was obvious

>>28422171
that's why we chose prisoners anon, because we were thinking.

Though, I am right now telling you that "I told you so"s are invalid here, because you didn't in fact tell anyone.

so
scorploli gonna make a skull throne?

>>28422167
Also good.

Heck, most of these are pretty good. Well, except for the ones like "Niiundiiuagiiiara"

>>28422226
It really depends on whether or not the neighboring city states continue being dicks worthy of skullthroning

Wow /tg/, this quest isn't even two hours old and we're already having a shitstorm.

>>28422196
Indeed, further more won't we WANT our Giant Scorpion Woman Warmachine to be full of Murderthiefrape?
The tardiness is unfortunate, but we needed a few extra gallons to top the cauldron off.

>>28422255
OP hasn't even finish chargen.
Nice, huh?

>>28422226
I sure fucking hope so.
>>28422196
>scorploli gets scorplolid using the blood of criminals
>suddenly /tg/ takes control of her
Like I said, tainted blood.

>>28422255
there's usually a shitstorm between murderboners and nonmurderboners fairly early on.

If we're lucky, one side will start spamming because they were sad they didn't get their way, be banned, and then we can continue as normal.

>>28422226
B-b-b-blood for the blood...l..lord?
Sk-k-k-ulls for the skulls throne...I think...

The guard only unslings her from his shoulder and sets her on her feet when the priests nod in assent. This guy does what he's told.

The orphan keeps walking into the pyramid, a little dizzy from the inversion and head rush. "My name's Hunzuu. My mama called me Zuu. She's dead, though."

"Yes, I rather figured. Now, the attendants are going to clean you up, and the acolytes are going to teach you some prayers to Aruru. When the time comes, just step in the tub we give you and say the prayers, and before you know it you'll be bigger and stronger!"

The Rain Priest leans in toward the Blood Priest. "Don't you think we should tell her the whole truth right away? This one is prone to tantrums, it looks like. Better for her to react before the ritual than after."

>>28422255
The dude banked the success of his entire quest on monstergirl fetishes. This is how its gonna be.

>>28422275
I don't care if you say tainted blood NOW, you didn't bring it up at the time.
Besides, I believe in original-sin tainting.

>>28422282
[x] Yeah I guess.

>>28422282
tell her now

>>28422282
we should at least tell her that she's going to change shape wildly.

Or, failing that, position that cocksucking (insert whichever priest we aren't here) near the bath so he gets hit during the rage.

>>28422293
>you didn't bring it up at the time
I sure as fuck did.
>I believe in original-sin tainting.
Then youre an idiot, given that this quest most certainly does not take place in an Abrahamic region.
>>28422282
Dont tell her.

>>28422282
yeah might as well tell her. Let her yell it out before she gets a stinger.

>>28422282
Well therein lies the rub; DO we even know what's going to happen to her?

>>28422305
>>28422282
No, otherwise she might change her mind.
Keep it a secret.

>>28422282
For sure.

Do your thing, Rain priest. We've good veins to drain.

>>28422324
no, seriously, can you link me to where you even -mentioned- tainted VS untainted blood arguments?
Because the first I saw of it was after the decision with you boasting you would tell people so, which isn't how it works.

>>28422282
"Eh, fine. Let us inform her of her new destiny to be a divinely powered protector of her homeland"

>>28422282
Yes. Tell her, give her a little time to come to terms with it.

>>28422350
Chargen isn't over yet.
Who knows if the blood priest dips in non-tainted blood at the end?

>>28422373
Well, he should still use prisoner blood, because the idea of blood being tainted by crime is laughable.

Just make sure the prisoners aren't SICK prisoners.

>>28422387
they're in death row

>>28422398
that doesn't mean they're sick. Be on the lookout for bloodbourne disease.

Double-certainly don't let anyone with fucking plague into the sacrifice. Who the hell knows what plague would do to the magic.

>>28422409
I do. We get a Nurgle scorpion girl

>>28422426
I am almost certain we don't want that

>>28422426
>Giant disease ridden scorpion girl that cares about everyone

>>28422454
Untainted blooooood. Only way to be sure.

>>28422466
Man, do you know how filthy children can be?

No no, we need to take some noble blood. THAT would be the most untainted.

>>28422475
>>28422466
also, on that note, I don't think bloodpriest can be trusted if you meet him in a dark alley

>>28422331
In theory. The promise is something scorpion-ish that can destroy armies, which fits in with the scorpion-men of local legend.

>>28422320
You're not any of the priests, technically, but if you want some of them to betray the others, now would be a good time.

>>28422282
The Blood Priest rolls his eyes and awaits Hunzuu's reaction to the revelation. "Fine. The tub will be filled with blood, Hunzuu. If you want to change living things, it usually takes a lot of blood. And when the ritual's done, you'll probably have some significant scorpion features. Like claws and a stinger. You know, for hurting bad men.

She acts like she's heard stranger things. "Blood? Like blood soup? I had that once. There's never enough soup for everybody, though. Maybe I'll get a whole big tub of soup and bring it back to the poorhouse!"

The preparations continue on schedule. When an adventurer comes to the priests' quarters to announce that the tub of blood is ready, it's just past sunset. The ritual can begin. If the priests want to do anything in secret before creating their new champion, now is the time.

>>28422475
Only noble children would untainted, I am willing to bet many adult nobles have STD commonly found in whores.

>>28422475
But anon. She might go sith if she had people to love.
Think of the ... Wait. Bad analogy.
>>28422499
Blood priest betray the others and add blood from... other sources.

I think we're over-thinking this.

This is chargen. I seriously doubt the QM is going to fuck us over with something like tainted blood just because we weren't hyper-paranoid.

>>28422503
so we're in agreement that taking street-urchin children is not the way to go, due to being FIIIILTHY

>>28422499
>the priests want to do anything in secret before creating their new champion, now is the time.
Nope, nothing comes to mind. Proceed with the procesure doc.

>>28422499
Let's not fuck around with the ritual.

>>28422524
honestly I'm just having fun while waiting for updates anon.
And updates are here!

>>28422499
>bringing soup back to the poorhouse
As long as this poorhouse is in our city, she is going to be the loyalest.
Let's maybe put a few of her childhood friends in the military, so she has quite a lot of cause to protect soldiers during our campaigns.

>>28422499
Add the blood from scorpions into the mix. Ones with powerful toxins.

>>28422543
>>28422525
>>28422503
you guys really care about this do you

>>28422499
The ritual should go along normally. We don't expect anything to go wrong or to be unusual with this.

Other than scorpioning.
What do scorpions eat?
Let's maybe get a few of those around in case shit goes nasty. Cakes too, in case she likes human food after.

>>28422567
I just said I was having fun while waiting for updates, anon.
Arguing about things like blood-purity-levels is what I come to /tg/ for.

>>28422551
Now that is an interesting idea

>>28422591
>>28422551
I, too, am interested.
But don't know shit about blood magic.
Would this do anything, QM? Anything at all?

>>28422588
understandable, but now we won't ever know what dramas could've popped up out of this.
It would have been fun, no murderhobo intended, I mean the QM is going to kill a fuckton of prisioners anyway, isn't that murderhobo as well?

>>28422614
I don't want to be killing peoples just to make more drama, anon.
Heck, I don't even WANT to kill the prisoners, I just know that blood priest is going to because he's a dick.

>>28422603
Perhaps also add blood from each of the priests. Blood magic may be able to impart some level control over our champion and adding the blood of those who wish to control her into the mix may make it easier.

>>28422638
It's better than killing her friends. If they're on death row they will die anyway, so it's not like they had long fulfilling lives ahead of them.

>>28422638
you are a gigantic fucking pussy.

>>28422649
A good idea for the priests as a whole (assuming that IS how things work), but I am unsure if any of them would trust any of the others with this kind of thing. Though I might be reading too much paranoia into the priests.

>>28422649
remember we're not the priests, we're the girl

>>28422674
well, right now we're the priests. We're GOING to be the girl.
One of those perspective shift things.
I think.

>>28422689
Right now it's more like character creation, I think, and the main game will come when we are done..

>>28422662
yeah, that's why it's preferable to the friends. Better to kill death row folks than kids.
Though I don't like either.
>>28422663
When it comes to things like this, absolutely.

>>28422664
Hence why all of them add blood.
I don't trust the rest of you, but we need to ensure control. This way we each have the same amount of control.

>>28422689
we still are not the priests, but some sort of hivemind on top of them that after the ritual is going to settle in the girl
>>28422714
I agree with the other anon on you being a gigantic pussy.

>>28422674
Right now we're protects

>>28422725
you don't have to agree, anon, I just said I was the pussy.

Can I just ask, OP, what on earth made you come up with the idea for this quest? I mean, even by /tg/ standards, this strikes me as a little bit outside the norm.

You have my interest though. Don't mind me while I lurk. I'm hoping for some kind of quest of acting as the priests' personal attack loli... Then turning on them and fighting to break their oppressive and bloodthirsty regime of terror, etc. etc.

>>28422756
Give her a reason to go attack them.
If they go all goodie "we're not going to kill her friends period" and treat her properly there's still some kind of possibility for her to be blinded by the state.
I mean she opted into it pretty easily didn't she.

>>28422756
really, how much we turn on the priests depends on how shit the priests are being to us, combined with how terrible the things they order us to do.

We could conceivably be priest4lyfe if they just treat us well and do war against just soldiers and are nice to civilians and all that shit.
fat chance

>>28422756
He made it just to spite the dude who ran that lamia murder quest.

>>28422499
Have the sand priest sneak in some of his blood. He seems like the type to do something like that.

>>28422805
I am not sure spite is the emotion to describe this.
Whatever bender was expressing when he claimed he would make his own theme park. With beer. And hookers.

>>28422499
The prisoners are probably dead, unless those tasked with bleeding them happened to be extremely careful and merciful, because the large basin in the heart of the pyramid's ritual camber has more than enough blood in it to bathe an adult, let alone a child. Flickering torchlight reflects on its dull surface.

As he recites the story of how Tiamat created the first scorpion-people, the Blood Priest decides to add some inventive additions to the admixture of blood. He adds a small crucible of fluid he squeezed out of a desert scorpion from his workshop, usually kept around for making antidotes He also adds a small cup of his own blood. The other four Great Priests and the three dozen acolytes chant prayers and contribute what magic they know to the cause.

Finally, Hunzuu is brought out, wrapped loosely in silk, holding the ancient relic. She had a very simple recitation to memorize, but she messes it up a little. She keeps calling the goddess Aruru "Abubu." That probably won't affect the outcome, everyone hopes.

>>28422828
>Abubu

Welp.

>>28422828
>abubu
Oh my god that's adorable and/or terrible

Depending on how it affects the ritual

>>28422828
>>Probably won't affect the outcome.

>Everything is going to go straight to hell, isn't it?

>>28422852
I'm hoping Adorable...
FEAR OUR GIANT ADORABLE SCORPION WARMACHINE!!!

>>28422861
>the QM wrote about it
it means everything is going to hell, anon.

>>28422499

Add in myrrh and set the blood on fire to make her a flaming scorpion goddess.

She'll be bathed in blood and flame to achieve the perfection that is the guardian diety of our country.
All those that would oppose Hunzuu shall be burnt to ash.

I'd also like for the ... bronze priest to put some of his daughter's blood in the mix.

Look on the bright side guys:
The god's REAL name could be abubu and it could be the -priests- who have been fucking it up.

There's a non-0 chance of that.

>>28422781
>>28422792
Yeah, we aaaaall know how this is going to end, don't we, boys and girls? I mean a religion that reveres scorpions, uses baths of blood for their rituals (performed at night, of course) and is run by a cabal of the high priests of the city, who seem to be highly ambitious and ready to kill to seize and maintain power? That TOTALLY sounds like a nice group of people who are going to love and care for the people and treat their monstrous chimera of an innocent girl and a venomous, desert predator with love and respect and not use her as a tool to carve a trail of death and destruction, strewn with the corpses of their enemies, military, political and philosophical, in her wake!

And honestly, if you were an orphan, offered a chance at a better life for you and your friends, in a pseudo-Mesopotamian fantasy society, ruled over by a powerless autocrat and the power-hungry priesthood and nobility, you'd volunteer lickity-split too!

>>28422886
I like the poison better, myself.
Though for some reason I associate poison with being able to make burning acid. It comes up a lot in RPGs.

>>28422900
Yeah, these guys seem 100% legit.
No way they'd turn out to be bad guys!
Inconceivable!

>>28422900
well
>>28422922
they're pretty legit

>>28422828
>Aruru "Abubu."

No need to know the goddess's name so long as her spirit lies within your heart.

How old is those one anyway?
>>28422906
I'd prefer cleansing by fire. Poison doesn't equal acid.
However having fire/sun element added to the mix we'd be a scorpion of light/fire/shadow, and our poison would burn in our enemies' veins.

Hunzuu steps into the basin of blood, hesitant but without the need for force. Up to her knees in it, she turns to the priests. "It's cold. When do I - Ow!"

She slips and falls into the deeper center of the basin, immersing herself. The ancient salt crystal breaks open, and the dull red light from the scorpion inside it turns into a blazing column of light that fills the room. The preserved scorpion disintegrates, the blood boils, and everyone is blinded and terrified for a moment.

When the light fades, the chamber is in total darkness. The torches have gone out. There is only the sound of pointed legs skittering on wet stone as you find your balance.

You are Hunzuu, and you are an abomination that the world has not seen since before the great flood.

What do?

>>28422943
well, it sounds like a cool idea, but now that I am looking into it what the hell even is myrhh and does it make blood flammable?

And also because he was bemoaning the fact that his fetish was under represented in most monstergirl quests.

>>28422971
It's associated with the phoenix legend. Would also make some sense for the area.

>>28422955
"I'm.. beautiful..." test our new form, maybe kill one of the priest's as we test out our tail. Innocent play, the dance of a dangerous being.

>implying we can do any of these

"C-can someone light the torches again?"

>>28422955

spend time processing what happened, then, upon discovery of our new form (something which illumination should reveal) mildly panic, possibly attempt to learn how to control our new form... this of course assumes that the physical change did not also create a mental one....

>>28423014
Most scorpions are nocturnal. We should be able to see.

>>28423006
I'd like to kill one of the priests, by accident. No preference to which one.

>>28422955
We should probably attempt to find some light, if we can't see in the dark.

>>28422943
Depends if the goddess is feeling merciful and/or amused. We could end up with that most badass of all monsters: One that can shift between forms. A human with the aura of the most deadly predator of the sands, reflexes like the scorpion's flashing tail and venom ever ready to fly from her fingertips; a tiny, mottled scorpion with enough venom on its stinger to slay a dragon; and the true form of the monster - a mighty chimera with the torso and arms of a young girl and the lower body, claws and tail of a dead beast.

Fire, darkness, venom, blood, the razor shards of glass that comes when sand is made molten and cools... There's all kinds of things a divinely-warped demigod-being could wield... In time. At first? Zuu is still a young girl. But she will learn. Oh yes... She will learn.

>>28422955
Masturbate with tail

>>28423037
>>28423006
Let's leave the accidental priest murder for the QM to decide when it happens.

because it WILL happen.

But I want it to be a surprise.

>>28422852
We're gonna need more blood

Is it just me or is this quest really fucking boring?

>>28423055
the QM already showed us that we wouldn't get cool things.
the priests will probably live.

>>28423062
We could scorpionhug some priests.

I'm going to second whatever vague motions of panic and/or shakeyness are roaming around.

We should be uncertain on the new legs.

Yes, I am seconding this over the other two plans I provided, so sue me, I am indecisive.

>>28423077
I'm having good times.
>>28423084
oh pish posh, just because the younglings weren't murdered doesn't mean there won't be a violence.
There was a lot of violences, in fact.

It doesn't really matter what we do, since everything will just go according to plan anyways. No suspense, no action, no drama, all the characters are walking stereotypes, this quest way too fucking dry.

>>28423107
it could've been a great step to having a "don't mess with nature" theme and whatnot
but hey who cares, there's still plenty of blood ahead

>>28423132
yeah, I look forward to it. Sad that some people seem to be stuck on the decision, though.

Arguing is fine, but it's polite to accept when things shift another way and let it go, to make room for the next argument.

>>28423123
This was chargen, we have yet to actually hit the meat of the quest. Hopefully, that should occur now.

Though you certainly feel like you're higher up than before, you're still a little girl, and you don't feel right. Maybe you should have taken the funny old men more seriously when they said what was going to happen to you. You panic a little and scramble sideways across the chamber until you slam into a wall. You scream.

An acolyte re-ignites one of the torches, and you finally see yourself. You scream louder. From the waist down you are a completely unrecognizable chitinous horror, with eight legs, two claws, and a segmented tail. Your lower half is the size of a big draft horse.

Whoa, and you're stronger than you were before. You totally crushed someone against that wall without even feeling him there. But it was just an acolyte, so nobody seems to mind. Everyone falls to their knees and praises all the gods.

"I'm sorry..." you say, "I tripped..."

They cheer for you. Some of the acolytes call you beautiful. The Sand Priest laughs joyously. The Blood Priest just smiles at you proudly. You don't understand. "I only wanted to hurt bad men..."

>>28422955
[x]come to no consensus, and just sort of mill about confusedly a bit getting used to things

This seems to be accurat

>>28423156
God, this is gonna be a moe monsterloli quest, isn't it?

>>28423156
Are we naked? Ask for something to cover our shame.
What next? What do they want us to do? Where will they ask us to go?

We should've picked the "farmgirl"

>>28423156
>did not kill priest
>killed acolyte instead
I -told- you guys we didn't have dark vision.
Well, at least not yet.
Still, exactly what I wanted.

Maybe uh

Get away from that acolyte
Whoops

>>28423156
Demand a hug and some hot chocolate (mayan style, with hot peppers).

>>28423156
Oh boy, will she hurt a lot of men.
We can still roll for the "good vs good" or "evil vs evil" motifs. I hope. Or at least something beyond moe monstergirl where everything goes according to the plan.

>>28423196
I say we eat the Acolyte, we need an unnatural taste for blood to drown out our innocence.

>>28423195
yeah, we should probably get some clothes. Even if we're not naked, we're COVERED in blood.
Wait.
We're covered in blood.
Can we like, wipe that off?

Also,
[x]continue to be confused as to why people are cheering you destroyed an acolyte
[x]be hurried away by priests to do whatever they have in store

>>28423206
>Oh boy, will she hurt a lot of men.
Likely not.

>>28423201
Yes. I would like some hot chocolate.
(Bonus: also tastes like blood mayan style)
A hug too, but I don't think anyone will comply with that one.

Oh well. I'm sure alternate forms will come along later. As will basic motor skills.

I wonder how much OP reads before each new instalment though..? I need to type faster, if I want any kind of response.

>>28423256
We are gonna autosage before the quest even begins proper, anyways.

>>28423256
good point.
How are our basic motor skills?

>>28423247
>Hug
Bonus, we end up killing whoever complies with the strength of our claws.

Seriously, if this is gonna be moe, I at least want grim-moe.

>>28423256
Hopefully more thsn he is now, this seems to be catching on.

>>28423277
Even autosage takes a while

>>28423277
Just make the OP make a second part.

>>28423299
I agree with grim-moe, but I disagree with corpse eating right off the bat.
Much more in character to simply eat a lot of blood pudding.
But man crushing is A-OK.

>>28423299
>this seems to be catching on.
Looks more like its tapering off.

>>28423328
we seem to have the same three guys we've been having.
If you don't count red white and britfag.
We're just not arguing any more.

The silks you were wearing over your top half are still fine. You shamble away from the dead acolyte and bend down to brush the gore off your side.

The Blood Priest takes charge of the situation. You see now. He's the boss of them, even if the others don't want to admit it. "Of course you did! Don't worry, that was just an accident. When you're ready we can get to killing the real bad men, starting with those upstarts at the Footmen's School. There's some food prepared for you in the banquet hall upstairs. Don't worry about breaking anything up there. Just get used to your own strength. I've also hired the armsmaster of the Adventurers' School to give you lessons in war and combat. He's in the armory two levels up. But he'll be here until I give him leave to return home. Why, if you feel prepared, you can even go up on the terrace and start striking terror! They will know you, my dear. They will fear you." You're a little sick of having this guy tell you what to do. On the other hand, going upstairs for some real food does sound good.

Nope! Screw you, we are going full on dissonance here! Dark world, light character. We're going to be an adorable, awkward monster girl, kick a bit of ass and still somehow cling onto our innocence. No killing anyone who's not a 'bad person' (at least, not to our knowledge anyway).

Also, does Zuu still have hands and arms, with claws lower down? Or has she forever lost the use of opposable thumbs?

>we seem to have the same three guys we've been having.
We had a lot more for a while, but then the whole thing died off once it got all moe.

Getting snacks is always the highest priority.

Oh fuck off, you already have AoPH for that faggotry.

>>28423368
I didn't notice that at all. Though, I dislike the meta talk, so I may be done with it for a bit.

>>28423366
I hope we still have hands. Otherwise, banquet is gonna be tough.
