You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.The visit with Agnes turned out to be pretty nice (after a rough start), but alas, all good things must come to an end.After Andreas flew Elena back to the castle, you and the others took a carriage to the arena early so that you can get ready for the big duel.>Congratulations, you are now an unruly WOLF!>Wolves are cool and powerful... and also rather dangerous.>The Princess now considers you to be her friend!>But while wolves are really cool, they still don't count as people.Thread archive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=Princess+Guard+QuestCharacter list + descriptions (in progress):http://pastebin.com/1Vhj4DJvList and descriptions of the spells shown thus far:http://pastebin.com/2c9y2sDMTwitter:https://twitter.com/QM_ArchelonQuest compilation that's kindly maintained by a person who isn't me:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n4nhs9gd0kmnnni/04tpEy5_pe>>>>>>>>
As the carriage approaches the arena, you notice that there are a lot of people around... you guess that the King informed the common folk about your duel as well. After passing by the crowded main entrance, the carriage comes to a stop at a door with decidedly less traffic."This is the VIP entrance," Luciana explains. "And since you happen to be the main attraction, of course you're considered one!" she says, smiling at you."Most of this kingdom's aristocracy prefers to avoid interacting with the riffraff," Agnes sighs. "They complained so much that Celestino eventually had this entrance installed.""So it wasn't here originally?" Luciana asks. "I didn't know that...""It was back when -I- was a little girl, so I can't blame you for not knowing!" she laughs.After a quick security check (and a lot of apologizing on the part of the security staff once they found out who the carriage belongs to), they give you the go-ahead to exit the carriage. Since you're sitting right by the door, you leave first and then help Agnes down.Once everyone's out of the carriage, you hear the arena door opening and out comes... ...Sir Gregory!"I was wondering when you guys would show up," Sir Gregory says, sighing as he approaches. "...oh, and you brought Agnes with you. I thought she'd show up later.""Good morning, Gregory," Agnes says with a warm smile."And good morning to you," he replies. "I take it this is Luciana's doing?""Only incidentally!" Luciana says, giggling.>greet the Gregory!
>>29638223*salute*
>>29638223yo nigga whats up.
>>29638206That's certainly an interesting OP imageI think I'm going to up the happening-o-meter in response
>>29638223Yo yo yo, G-Man, how's it happenin'
>>29638344>YAY, IT'S HAPPENING
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvjEgnXmnLITheme of the thread.>>29638223"I assume you had a good morning?" Considering I believe he said he was going to yell at Celestino more, might be a good thing to ask about later if the time's appropriate.
>>29638223"Good morning, Sir Gregory. Looking forward to the match?I'll try not to disappoint, at any rate."
>>29638223"Uh, sorry if we kept you waiting. How long until the duel starts?"
>>29638223"Agnes have been telling me of you and Volker in your younger years."
>>29638223iirc he lost money to arnaud by betting against us right? if so"i have to ask, are you going to bet on me this time or do you plan to lose even more money?"
>>29638223"I hope you haven't been waiting too long.Anyone else down here with you, or are they all up in the stands already?"so wait, if Monique is Jin and we're his rival, does that mean Volker is a time-travelling future Reinhold?
>>29638223Of course, she's pretty sneaky when she wants to be. Worth it though- we got to hear some stories about you and Volker
>>29638434That's Arnaud.
>>29638455arnaud is the one that won money on our match with nico, but i can't remember if the guy that lost money was greg or vincent
what if we get embarrassed in front of the whole kingdom, that would suck
>>29638577Don't roll like a crack bitch and that won't happen.
>>29638223this>>29638276then>>29638427for the lulz!
>>29638577monique will assume we went easy as a way of mocking himcan we do pic if we nat 20?pleasealso, if we win we may be able to make peace with monique if we compliment him and say that he'd probably beat us in a real fight since he knows into magic swording
>>29638662With this much buildup the dice gods are sure to bring a wave of nat 1s.
so how fast would we lose against Monique in a regular sword fight?
>>29638681>Nat 20>Fix the flaws in Volker's style>Celestino executes us
>>29638736depends on the role
>writing
>>29638701I can only pray that they do.Watching archelon justifying our victory on a sea of nat 1's would be hilarious.
>>29638745i'd say biting the sword in half counts as a flaw in technique
>>29638206>Congratulations, you are now an unruly WOLFHoly shit, Dickless McTraumapants gained a level? Shocking.
>>29638748role?Also the only real reason we have a good chance against Monique is because of the no magic rule.
>>29638776arch has said he isn't afraid of giving us a bad end
>>29638736Probably pretty fast.Reinhold really needs to get his shit together. I mean jesus, an 8 year old is better at it than he is.Although once he realises that the incantation doesn't matter at all, I fully expect gate of babylon/unlimited blade works/[INSERT ORIGINAL SPELL HERE]
>>29638736Incredibly fast. Literally everyone (except the waifus) is either an unstoppable god in mortal form, or at the very least has come with the disclaimer that they'd ruin our shit if it wasn't for them holding back to give us a chance.
>>29638830to be fair he started magic a month ago, his teacher has only been doing it a couple more months than him, he spends half his waking time with mari, only has one sparring partner, and his sword-mage tutor is often busy with butlering like an ex vampire hunter
>>29638895Hell, even Sylvie might have a pretty good chance at wrecking Reinhold's shit. Luciana too, probably.Marianne not so much, but that's because I think she'd be very indecisive in a fight and leave a lot of obvious openings.
>>29638926
>>29638926Monique on the other hand took like an entire month or 2 off just to train.
>>29638830>an 8 year old is better at it than he is.to be fair said 8 year old can also do A THOUSAND PUSHUPS and can learn and alter a spell after only seeing it once
>>29638995Why do the Jap-a-waps have this proclivity towards badass buttlers?
>>29638736Really fucking quickly. We have got to learn some magic, it's the only way to stay competitive.
>>29639036Eleana SMASH
>>29639047What do you think we've been doing? We've been spending a lot of time with Sylvie's magic lessons after all and once we're not derping too hard Niklaus said he'd help us - not to mention that Arnaud will likely train us some in magic as he is a spellsword.
>>29639047I'd like to learn some more thematic spells as opposed to generalist, but GODDAMN REINHOLD won't realise that the incantation doesn't matter.I mean, I assume it will come up eventually, but I'm eager to see what Arch has planned for that.
>>29639121I wasn't saying we weren't, I was just stressing the importance of it.
>>29639143>Reinhold won't realize the incantation doesn't matterWe haven't tried, Anon.
>>29639043who DOESN'T like badass butlers?
>>29639065Elena SMASH!(tm) is the highlight of this quest.
>>29639121arnaud has been training us to magic at the same time as we sword, but he hasn't taught us any spells yet, though we should ask him for what spells he'd think are good to learn when we get backand before we leave we need to ask taka how to repuzan and cut someone in half from 20 feet away. really that attack should have cemented just how outclassed he is into rein's head
I think you're all worrying too much.
>>29638389>>29638427voting this dood!
>>29639036>8 year old [...] can learn and alter a spell after only seeing it onceThis is actually an interesting thing to address.Based on how magic works in-setting, is it canonically easier for young children to alter Script on the fly due to cognitive development and neuroplasticity shit?
>>29639043well that is Arnauld in his youth, his prime and now.All different version are bad ass.
>>29638957>>29639036>>29639047>>29639121>>29639143>>29639149Oh you silly Anons Arch can never let Reinhold learn enough magic so that he GITS GUD because then his way of preventing harem mode might not work.>pic related is the haremfags being given an inch
>>29639204yeah, you're all acting like we'd just get fucking murdered or something. we'd put up a good fight at least
>>29639228Well that was needlessly painful to watch.Source?...
>>29639246how does getting good at swordmageing factor into harem mode?
>>29639248All we've seen is his killing magic. We don't know how good he is at -just- the sword. For all we know, he's gotten worse.
>>29639204well, "if" we break monique's sword again, i totally expect him to try to actually kill us, so...
>>29639276It's basically disallowed because their parents would rek him.
>>29639300It's also illegal.
>>29639246i am awed on how you piece together bits of information in your head.
>>29639281i think they're discussing real fights in general, not just monique, since we are in charge of guarding royalty and are surrounded by monsters like greg, vincent, niklas, and arnaud, not to mention taka taking 3 assassins before we even noticed
>>29639276I think he's referring to how their parents would kill Rein.>Implying we could *ever* reach the point where we could take on all of the best warriors, mages, and swordmages in the kingdom.
>>29639272Black Lagoon Roberta's Blood trail OVA
>>29639341I think it's unfair to compare us to Taka, since he has like twice our age on him. We'll be at the same level of killiness soon enough, and until then, need to focus upon training and gimmicky ways to remain killy.Also bracelet.
>>29639272Black lagoon
>>29639416>Also bracelet. talking about that, do you think we can (try to) use it during our duel ? (i mean, do we have the right to ?)
>>29639341Arguing power levels is just so boring though.
>>29639416>since he has like twice our age on himand the assassins don't. we should compare ourselves to taka since taka is what we should be aiming to be
>>29639472No magic. She probably counts seeing as how she feeds off our mana.
>>29639472I doubt it. Its kinda magic, and this is supposed to be swords-only, and it is not a sword.
>>29639300I think it's more that non of them want to share. Now if they could get Reinhold and a few other studs to themselves...
>>29639472>(i mean, do we have the right to ?)I wouldn't risk it.>"The rules..." Agnes begins, "...no Script anything, like I already said... sword-type weapons only, no knives or polearms or anything of that nature... enchanted weapons are allowed as long as they're only used for attacks like say, a Flamberge, with the exception of Lightning-element spells which are banned outright..."It's definitely not a sword, so I suspect attempting to use it as a weapon would disqualify us.
>>29639472I'm not sure. The problem isn't that it's magical, enchanted weapons can be used with restrictions, the problem is that it's not a sword type weapon.
>>29639478not trying to argue power levels, just trying to say we should take our training more seriously since we are guarding royalty, and we've seen that there are people out there we'd lose against FAST
>>29639538I'm surprised that no one added another one to that picture about leading the girls on and being half assed.
>>29639289if we won't break it someone MORE scarier than Monique eventually will.
"Good morning, Sir Gregory," you say with a slight bow. "sorry if we kept you waiting, how long until the duel starts?""Eh, you still have over an hour," Sir Gregory replies as he brushes some hair out of his eyes. "I just volunteered to be the one to wait for you because I didn't feel like sitting in one place for to long.""Oh, so the others are already here?" Luciana asks."Yeah, I had Nico go hold some seats for us in one of the booths, Celestino and Thierri are in the royal box too.""That's right, there are too many of us to fit in the royal box..." Luciana says with a LONG sigh."It'll just be me, Lisette, Thierri and Celestino," Sir Gregory replies with a shrug. "There's still more than enough room for you and Marianne to sit.""Father probably wants Emilio to be there, and that means that Karel will be there as well... she mumbles. "I suppose I'll just sit with Nicolette and the others then.""I'm sure that Nico'll be happy to hear that," he says with a chuckle. "But I'm sure that you want to sit with your father, right, Marianne?">[1/?]
>>29639472Need to work it and get it to the point it becomes a gauntlet that we can use to parry or grab blades with.
Personally, I'd like to think that at this point, the king thinks of us an investment. While we could probably take on almost anyone in the basic military one on one, it's our potential he has some interest in. While we may not be god mode beast now, in say, a couple of years time, when we have a firm grasp of spells and usage of spells with swords, well be pretty close to a large part of the granache nobility inner circle, and almost unshakable in our loyalty to the queen and princess.
>>29639563How much more serious can we get though? We practiced when he had the opportunities to when we are at Granache, and during the timeskip we've been taking lessons from Arnaud and Sylvie as well as training. We're fine.The only thing people would want is more spells to work with, but that's mostly it. That'll come in time.
>>29639613And also use to pleasure ourselves.Tina route is go.
>>29639642People just want us to become god in like two threads.
>>29639613oh ye of little imagination. amorphous weapons are best weapons
>>29639653It is a good pain.
>>29638681additionally, takamaru needs to do this to someonehttp://youtu.be/oktrP5TOKR0?t=2m30s
>>29639642well, i guess we could improve/fix our fighting style with grandma... there's not much we can do as a bodyguard unless we manage to get "vacations" (read: time to adventure)
Ay Dios mio, it's happening at last.
>>29639758your joking right?We still have around 4-6 hours until we actually roll for the fight.
>>29639661Pretty much. I think we're fine. The only thing I'd say we lack is experience, but that comes with time. There's always correcting sword issues, but we have Agnes for that after the duel and Arnaud for that when we head back, who we have good relationships with anyway. That'll be easy. Posting more thread themes:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URRh9v67rzk
>>29639739Or if we just quit like a few anons were suggesting a couple threads back. I legitimately think it'd be a good way to develop Reinhold ... if Arch was okay with PGQ becoming... Reinhold Quest.
>>29639758Na we still have a thread worth of pre duel preparations to make.
>>29639758>your joking right?>We still have around 4-6 threads until we actually roll for the fight.

>>29639758aw that's cute, he thinks we're gonna get off the boat
>>29639581"Father tends to get rather... -rowdy- during events like this," Marianne replies as she shakes her head. "And since Luciana will be sitting with Nicolette and the others, I suppose that I will as well.""Fair enough," Sir Gregory replies. "What about you, Agnes? I'm sure that Celestino won't care if you sit with us..."Not having expected to be asked herself, Agnes seems a bit lost."Umm, I suppose I shall," Agnes replies. "It's probably best that I not burden the kids with my presence any more than I already have, anyways.""I wouldn't mind if you sat with us," Luciana says, pouring. "And provided that Mother allows Elena to come, she'd be even happier!""No, that's fine," Agnes laughs. "Besides, I'll be nice to not be the oldest person in the room for a change....how old IS he, anyways?>[2/?]
>>29638681What's the sauce for this GIF? Google is derping it up, so it's a bit hard to find it.

>>29638957Silvie would easily turn Rein into a pile of viscera by poking him with her knuckles. Luciana could crush his organs with her magic hand shit and whatever other spells she may have. Marie can freeze his ass just like that one time when we accidentally her peaches while dancing. It's a bit scary how a bunch of girls that are younger than us can so easily murderize us.
>>29640013Are there rules about duels and fighting with ladies' favours, like tournaments and jousting?Because if so we should totally ask Luci for a favour. Stop stringing people along, lock in.
>>29640013>nah, head straight for the preparation roomSince we're unfamiliar with his new fighting style, we may as well start preparing for it. Also alone time with Tina!

>>29640079To add on to this post, should we probably take off the bracelet?Probably don't want any weird stares during the duel if it begins getting all wacky on us.
>>29640077Then why not do it with someone else instead of Luci?
>>29638957Silvie would easily turn Rein into a pile of viscera by poking him with her knuckles. Luciana could crush his organs with her magic hand shit and whatever other spells she may have.

I mean, it's still a lot, but don't be blowing that shit outta proportion, dawg.
>>29640135'Muh Trauma' means trying to get in with someone you barely ever see - Like Luci - so you can shut down all other advances in favour of your absentee girl.
>>29640170Well, we're not planning on courting her, so..no.
>>29640135So who would be crying more tears Luciana or her fans once we are forced to use the Mah truama card?
>>29640013>>nah, head straight for the preparation roomWe've got some time to prepare, but having a little while just to get our head in the game before warming up can't hurt.>[OTHER]We should at least see them off, though, what with still being with Marianne and all.
>>29640012ICE CARS
>>29640013make a joke at Luciana about not offering us her favor then go to preparation
>>29640197I really hate that telling a girl that you don't want a relationship right now has been equated with all this 'mu trauma' shit.
>>29640077This.
>>29640077if anything that's more stringing along, since we're not ready for a relationship and i doubt that's changed in the 16 hours since we told granny. and why luci? not to ship or anything but since this was largely in part by who got the bodyguard job mari would be more fitting. or even granny since having the favor of agnes fucking eschenwald means something to the sword world

>>29640077Strongly veto
>>29640197>>29640232It's not MUH TRAUMA, it's MUH NEED TO TRAIN SO I DON'T GET MY SHIT WRECKED, SUBSEQUENTLY FAILING IN MY DUTIES AS BODYGUARD
>>29640232it has been used by the two largest parties to remove any attention a girl gives reinhold that isn't their own.It was bound to bite them in the ass.
>>29640077Asking for a lady's favor is indeed a thing.
>>29640077No
>>29640077No. We're getting off Namek. And we're not locking any routes yet, we've already fucking told everyone we're not looking for romance right now. It's a huge dick move.
>>29640077god no.
The longer this quest goes on the more I just want Arch to just drop the quest and make the VN.Reinhold was actually a fun character to play before Marconetti. Now he's being turned into this dense dumbass because of all this shit.
>>29640077no
>>29640288And so, the sixth Waifu Wars began.
>>29640077If we lock anyone, it'll be Marie.
>>29640284sylvie is still interested and nico said she was more interested in melon even before we told her we weren't interested>>29640288then please do not do it
>>29640325he's not dense, he knows girls are interested in him, he just turns them down since he doesn't want a relationship yet
>>29640318Actually I want to see them do the favor thing with Luci so Slyvie can breakdown crying and ask Rein why he told her those lies about not being ready for a relationship then watch everyone get pissed off at him and all routes lock. Can't wait to leave this place.
>>29640350if we try to lock anyone, especially now, there will be a shitstorm of epic proportions and the thread will die. as shown by the backlash caused by one anon even MENTIONIONING trying to routelock
>>29640325So much this. The events of this trip have turned the playerbase to shit and it's seriously damaging the quest and the MC.
>>29640325>denseHow so? We've outright told pretty much everybody we're not interested right now. That's directly addressing it.
>>29640077Fuck no
We should ask Taka to come with us and run us through his offensive stance attacks- maybe do a few light spars with him. IIRC he mentioned that this would probably be similar to Monique's fighting style with the sabre.
>>29640263I'm in favour of Luciana not because I have any particular fondness for her but because she;a) Is a princess of a foreign country with responsibilities that will tend to keep us apart.b) Seems mature enough to accept an excuse such as 'We would like to take things slow' giving us time to get used to the idea of getting close to a person.c) Gives Reinhold a perfect excuse to shut down anyone else making moves on him while retaining the moral highground by being faithful to someone he barely sees.d) Opens up opportunities for adventuring down the line as I believe Luci has been stated to want to go off exploring.
>>29640350This.
>>29640325I wish any intention of making this into a VN had never been mentioned until the quest finished. That would've cut down on all the bullshit flag gathering/whatever that people have been sperging over.
>>29640325>>29640410>WaaahIt'll be over soon. At least it was something besides slice-of-life day-to-day stuff. The quest would get boring without any sort of change of pace.That said, I AM looking forward to returning to Granache.
>>29640437We never told luciana and marie pretty much told us to stop stringing her 2 friends along.(she believes we are dense as hell)
>>29640452Sounds good, fighters often do this before a match only thing is he might have to stay with Luci but if not then I'm for it.
>>29640486like luciana would care if we told her to stop she would just get even more pushy
>>29640408Guy, that's fucked up. All of them have been nothing but sweet and giving with us. Regardless of who you're interested in, that is definitely not something in character or to be viewed as anything short of monstrous. I'm fine with going down the Luci route, but sure as fuck not that wayMegane is finest in life, though
>>29640396>>29640437Dense as in doesn't understand he's stringing people along. Dense in as he can't tell he's getting a girl's hopes up. Dense as in he makes so many dumb and terrible decisions lately and the entire playerbase doesn't seem to realize it until it's too late.He can say "I'm not ready" as many times as he wants but he act like it. Instead, players turn him into a tease.
>>29640486>she believes we are dense as hellWhich is stupid as hell since she knows Rein's circumstances & I'm 90% sure he's said to her that he's not ready for a relationship right now.
>>29640534but he doesn't act like it*
Some folks on IRC were talking about dice mechanics, and it got me thinking...The way I do it currently is taking the best of three rolls against a set DC, with critical successes and failures taking precedence over all other rolls.But that does kind of skew things, so someone else mentioned doing it so that said 1 and/or 20 rolls would only result in a critical if the other dice in a roll supported it.Basically, as an example:roll 1, 14, 19 with a DC of 14: successroll 5, 4, 20 with a DC of 14: successroll 3, 17, 20 with a DC of 14: critical successroll 2, 5, 6 with a DC of 14: failureroll 1, 3, 5 with a DC of 14: critical failureI'm perfectly willing to change it to this, but I'll leave it up to you guys. Voting to run until the next story post.>change it to this>don't change it to this
>>29640534>players turn him into a tease.i'm not seeing this, aside from the thing with elena. i see a guy that is willing to be nice to girls even if he has no interest in fucking them
>>29640535He's only told Nico and Sylvie.
>>29640534I'm pretty sure, as in 100% positive, Reinhold realizes Luci and Sylvie like him. They've said as much, and we've acknowledged it. Now isn't the time to turn them down blatantly though. Timing is important Anon, learn to be patient.
>>29640566Sure, why not? This seems more fair.
>>29640566>Change it to this.Sounds a LOT more fair.
>>29640566>>change it to this
>>29640566>don't change it to this
>>29640566It's more fair, sure, but...I dunno, isn't it more -fun- the other way?
>>29640566>Change it to thisLooks good to me
>>29640566>change it to this
>>29640566sure
>>29640566>change it to thisI'd still like crits to actually mean something even if they don't decide the fate of the entire role, though. Like a little extra effort was needed to win if a 1 shows up in a success roll and such.
>>29640566change it to this
>>29640566>change it to thisYes. I much prefer that we don't suddenly get crit fails out of nowhere.
>>29640517I agree cept about the Luci part. I voted against the favor thing but, I merely mentioned this to open people's eyes.
>>29640566>>don't change it to thisyou already coddle us enough.
>>29640566>don't change it to this.When the anon rolls the 1 that ends Reinhold's life, I want him to carry that forever. As much as I love your setting, I love abrupt starts and bad endings more.
>>29640651>I much prefer that we don't suddenly get crit fails out of nowhere.but then how would we know what peaches feel like?
>>29640586I'm not using dense to mean romantically unaware.
>>29640693Then you're using dense wrong.
>>29640566so what type of success/failure is 3 straight nat 20s/1s
>>29640566Sounds good
I prefer the system as it is. The spontaneity and possibility to succeed or fail in extreme ways at any time a roll is called for makes every so much more fluid, dynamic and... well, it's realistic isn't it?
>>29640706Dense means more than romantically unaware, anon.Hell, there's nowhere specific in it's definition that mentions romance.It's just being slow to realize something. Like every bad decision the players make him make.
>>29640747Most people don't have a 14% chance to make a complete and utter idiot of themselves whenever they do something important.
>>29640566So if you get a 1, 13, and a 14 on a DC of 14, do we critically fail? I think this sounds more fair.I'm guessing 1, 20, and any other number that tips the scale will be something pretty funny if it ever happens again.
>>29640566>don't change it to thisSome critical fails are fun and have had a big impact on the story, like dancing with Marie.
>>29640566>Change it to thisSounds fun
>>29640566>change it to this>>29640721We and/or our opponent explode.
>>2964077112.88%
>>29640771Do they not? Huh. I could've sworn i'd messed up badly in ~1/10 of the really important things i've ever had to do, just as i'd had one incredible success.
This a single thread tonight or is arch punishing himself with a few.I think we will make it to the beginning of the duel then cliff hanger.Also im gonna guess the assassin kidnappers show up.
>>29640859It's a bit unlikely that anyone will try to fuck with the princess(es) in the middle of a stadium filled with people. But, knowing Arch, I wouldn't be completely surprised if he went chuunin exams all up in this bitch.
>>29640776>So if you get a 1, 13, and a 14 on a DC of 14, do we critically fail?I had intended that to be a success, not a failure, seeing as one of the rolls meets the DC.There's still some tension with this method even if it's not the same kind people're used to. It just switches from "oh dear god, we succeeded but the next two guys could still fuck it up for everyone or do something totally crazy" to "ok, one of these poor schmucks rolled a one. please god someone save us."The only result I'm not terribly satisfied for how this system handles it is 1,1, Pass, since it would be treated as a success even if instinctively it doesn't feel like it should be one.That's a pretty narrow corner case, though.
"Nah, I should probably start getting ready as soon as possible," you say."Fair enough..." Sir Gregory says, sighing. "Nicolette wanted to wish you luck, but it's not like I don't get what you mean."Sir Gregory then waves over an attendant."Show Reinhold here to the preparation room, I'll be back shortly," Sir Gregory says to the man."As you wish," he replies, bowing deeply. "Mr. Reinhold?"The attendant motions for you to follow, but you stop and turn to the others first."Well, it looks like this is it," you say with nervous laugh. "I guess the next time I see you guys is after this is all over with.""Do try to win," Marianne says. "Monique is sure to become even more insufferable than before if you were to lose to him.""Seriously," Sir Gregory says, rolling his eyes. "He's fu- ANNOYING enough as it is."Agnes looks at Sir Gregory and chuckles to herself for a few seconds before hobbling over to you."I wish you the best of luck, Reinhold," Agnes says with a warm smile. "I understand all too well how nervous you probably feel, but just take a few deep breaths and focus on your opponent. Not winning or losing or any of that. Watch his movements and act accordingly.">[1/?]
>>29641038>"Show Reinhold here to the preparation room, I'll be back shortly,"wait, if we're in the prep room, gregory will be with us, and mari isn't sitting with her father, who's going to be guarding her?
>>29641038We must grab Takamaru for sparring. This is imperative.
>>29641038what happens in the prep room?
>>29641104That's easy, Anon.What happens in the prep room...... stays in the prep room.
>>29641088She's sitting with Nico and the others. She'll be fine.
>>29641149But who will protect Nico and the others from her?
>>29641186...fuck.
>>29641186Luciana
>>29640973In the case of the 13 though, it would be a failing roll and therefore support the 1, resulting in a critical failure. The only one that would not support it is the 14.I'd just think it would be fair, especially since I think critical failures do not happen in this quest as much as critical successes, and significantly lowers the chance of one happening. (Not that I am hoping for them, but negating the chance of them happening seem off. )
>>29641094>>29640452Dude, get off of takamaru's dick already. This is DUEL TIME, not spar time.
>>29641217So we sit in the prep room doing nothing or attacking wooden dummies? How is that supposed to help?
>>29641232We stretch, we limber up, get in the right headspace for duelling... and one of the girls crushing on us sneaks in to give us a kiss for luck.It's like you don't even know how these sort of things go.
>>29641038"Heh... thanks for the advice, Grandma," you say, smiling at her."I'm sorry that I couldn't do more to help out," Agnes sighs. "But considering the circumstances, basic advice is the best I can do.Smiling once again, Agnes strains a bit to straighten out her back before pulling you into a hug."Just do your best, that's all I ask," Agnes says as you return her embrace. "I want to be able to brag to old Celestino about how great you are!"As you let go of Agnes, you notice Luciana dabbing her eyes with a handkerchief... was it really that big a deal? But no mind, there's something else that you wanted to know about."Since I'll be dueling and you'll be with the King, who's going to watch over Marianne?" you ask."Haha, nice watching out!" Sir Gregory says, winking at you. "But you don't have to worry since I asked those two dragon kids from last night to babysit her while we're away. Celestino seems to have been pretty impressed with their performance last night in taking care of some sh- STUFF that went down so she ought to be in safe hands.""That's a relief," Marianne chimes in.>[2/3]
So will we get murdered by Celestino if we win, or if we lose?
>>29641280>one of the girls crushing on us>not elena, coming to give us advice so she can prove to that weird eastern girl that says she's a boy that rein is gonna beat monique
>>29641377Neither. He's looking to see if we fight like Volker.
>>29641377if we don't fight like volker
>>29641377
>>29641216The intent was that if there was any roll at all that passed the check, the whole check was a success regardless of if there were other failures, rather than the way you were interpreting it (that a critical roll would tip the other two rolls in its direction.)There's an argument against this system since it makes a 20 slightly more positive than a 1 is negative, but it was intended as a way to justify a QM making criticals in general, and critical failures in particular, more impactful without those more-game changing crits being a common enough occurrence for them to constantly derail players' plans.
>>29641399I guess that means our win condition is to break Monique's swords
We're going to fail so horribly. Homeless Mutant Quest went through a thread without rolling a 1 recently. That is very ominous.
SWORD THROW!
>>29641427I would assume he would raise the DC accordingly, right?
>>29641473>Letting go of your weapon during a duelIt's like your retarded or something.
>>29641473I am here my ChampionSWORD THROW
>>29641473no SWORD BITE. what better way to show that we fight like volker (ie, powering through stuff) than by just EATING the other guy's sword?
>>29641447A protagonist change won't be so bad, and we already likable side character in Matthias and the Nips
>>29641517I hope we continue as Nicolette.
>>29641517You think that's bad?Digger quest had five nat 20's in a row a week or so ago. those are our rolls, you know
>>29641543Meido quest when?
>>29641473Throw your weapon in the arena and YOU ARE DEAD!
>>29641587after she and carol's mom assassinate luci
>>29641543Or maybe Arch will let us play as Alternate Reinhold and his happy life with Volker.At the end of every thread he'll show off how shitty Marianne, and Marius's life is without us and Citrine
>>29641587we already had 4 maid quest in the last year.
>>29641616Nicolette married Monique, didn't she?
>>29641616I'd prefer an alternate reality where Volker's friend Adrien brought Citrine and Reinhold to Agnes when Volker died before he went off on his mission of revenge.
>>29641476I don't think it really changes the odds of success/failure in general so much that upping a given DC will usually be necessary; failures under the old system will more or less be failures under the new system as well.Deciding to 'normalize' rolls but ALSO make them more likely to fail in general kind of defeats a lot of the purpose.The main thing this changes DC-wise (and something that actually drew me to this way of handling things in the first place) is that it makes higher DC checks become harder to critically succeed, since it decreases the number of rolls that will 'confirm' a 20.>>29641473>>29641509No matter what else happens during this duel, I'll be happy with literally anything but this.
>>29641447There's a formula to the results. One quest's success/failures don't mean a thing to another unless they're running simultaneously.
>>29641656We a;ready went over this. Adrien killed Volker. Having anything to do with his swordmistress grandmother while still injured from the fight he had with her beloved grandson would have been a supremely bad idea.
>>29641543na, Rana would be much more fun.
>>29641338>[3/3]"That's enough dawdling, though..." Sir Gregory says as he cracks his knuckles. "C'mon, you guys."Without another word, Sir Gregory motions for the others to follow as he heads through a doorway and out of sight. The others then follow suit, with Takamaru helping Agnes as she walks."Umm... your grandmother isn't the only one who's looking forward to bragging about you to Father..." Luciana says, her face flushed.She then hurries off after the others, leaving you alone.Or rather, with the attendant. You then follow him through a long corridor into a room with several weights, lift bars and other exercise equipment... along with a fer benches, one of which you take a seat on."When the gate over there opens, that'll be your sign to head on out," the attendant says, pointing to the aforementioned closed gate. "I heard that you've done this before, so I assume that you know how the rest goes?""Yeah," you reply. "Thanks for showing me the way over here.""Just doing my job..."The attendant then does a slight bow and exits the preparation room, leaving you to your own devices.>scene change to rival side>scene change to princess side>scene change to brother side

>>29641473We Nidhogg now. >>29641427Well yeah, I could understand that. I still believe that this system favors the 20 more than a 1. I think rolling two high rolls that succeed cancelling out a 1 is more fair than needing a 20 to cancel out a 1, and the situation has happened before in the quest. Like how two failures could mess up a critical success, two successes should mess up a critical failure. It's just that when it comes to the point where it comes to cases like 1, 13, and 14 where becomes confusing, because one roll supports the critical failure, and one roll doesn't. Thankfully, 1 and 20s are rare, because as long as it doesn't make cases where 2, 3, and 18 would result in a failure, it's perfectly fine. >>29641716>scene change to brother side

>>296420601
>>29641803It looks like you're basically advocating for a system where a rolled 1 or 20 is more or less handled as a "drop [highest/lowest, respectively]".And yes, this system definitely does favor the 20 slightly; an "unconfirmed" 20 is still a success, after all, whereas an "unconfirmed" 1 is negated by any Pass on the DC.There was also some amount of discussion of a system that abolished the 1 and 20 from the die roll entirely, using them exclusively as a sort of critical "kicker" in a 2-19 DC structure; depending on how this hypothetical system would've been handled, maybe this would've been closer to what you're looking for.Either way, if testing shows this way of handling dice to be unsatisfactory, it's always possible to just go back to tried-and-true. I'm just glad it's getting a bit of in-the-open field testing.
>>29642018I agree as far as Luciana goes but for radically different reasons.>>29642053I don't follow it on twitter but i've stayed up until 5am for the duel so far...

>>29642018in character it's been less than a day since we told granny we aren't interested in a relationship right now. i'm not arguing about whether we should go with luci or any girl, but right now isn't the time, especially with luci and rana since we've spent only a couple days with them and weren't even together for all of that time
>>29642060Two
>>29642076WEG d6 had a wild card die that basically did that. x-1d6 were rolled as a cumultative pool with the last die being a wild card die. Roll a 6, you win, your d6 explodes and roll again. Roll a 1, you lose, your result is halved. 2 through 5 simply adds its total.Something like that wouldn't work with a d20 system since, duh, it requires that multiple dice be rolled.

>>29642595I almost want to get a bone marrow transplant just because I find them fascinating. It's like growing another persons immune system in your body.
>>29642728Those people need to breed more.
>>29642678Yeah, about 1% of the population descended from Northern Europe is immune to it, they don't have a certain protein on the surface of their T-Cells, so AIDS pretty much can't infect them.Hard one to spread though since it's a recessive quality. And it's not really selected for enough to really cause large-scale spreading of it.
"Alright, here's the box..." Sir Gregory says as he stops in front of a lavishly-decorated door and opens it."Thanks for showing us the way, Uncle Gregory!" Luciana says, hugging her uncle before scurrying inside."Eh, it's better than sitting in the middle of Tension Land," he replies with a tired sigh. "You guys have fun, I'll be in the Royal Box if you need anything."Sir Gregory then takes Agnes's arm and helps her along the way while Marianne follows Takamaru inside this other booth. While she's still rather cross with Reinhold, it's not like she wants him to -lose-......besides, she's the one who gave the okay for this duel to begin with. And while Reinhold may have spontaneous bouts of idiocy, he's still a far cry from Monique Gilbeault, who is like that ALL OF THE TIME.Thank God he wasn't the one who won that tournament, she'd probably have strangled him by now. While Marianne has previously thought that Sir Gregory was the most aggravating man in the entire world, that moron has proved her wrong.>[1/?]2

>>29642818I read an article awhile ago about people making 3d printers to make organs I wonder if it could be used to make marrow too.
>>29642791>previously thought that Sir Gregory was the most aggravating man in the entire worldY'know, I'm starting to think that Marie is just a huge bitch.
>>29642897So long as a species maintains sufficient genetic diversity there will likely be those among the population with the ability to -resist- any virus, yes.
>>29642929>startingAre you denser than Reinholdium?
>>29642921I am ok with anyone but her and luci
>>29642865You clearly have no idea how much more complicated and expensive that would make the process.
>>29642791The plan to get Marianne some friend would have backfired with Monique, uh?Which reminds me of a question - Do Celestino's children all have bodyguards? I don't think they were mentioned with Benedetta, Giancarlo and Alberto. Is there an age where they're considered redundant?
>>29642921>>MUH TRUE ROUTEthere are many true routes anon, except for sachin
>>29642865Try telling that to conservative americansI recall one story about a kid who was literally born without a brain. Just had a brain stem to control breathing and cardiac activity. And the mother wanted to keep it. Yeah, yeah, it's pure anecdote, but still.
>>29642929Finds person who trolls her endlessly annoying-Bitch.
>>29642929not gonna argue whether she is or not, but iirc she and greg were both at each others throats
>>29642791I know this image has been used since forever, but would she actually wear something like that?
>>29642949They're free to do whatever once they've been married off.While Celestino would be happy to assign them to his older children, they've all refused.
>>29642951Soon™ anon, soon™.
>>29642949>The plan to get Marianne some friend would have backfired with Monique, uh?Not necessarily, it would have taken a bit longer for him to warm up on her since we have seen that he is a nice kind when he isn't trying to suck on some ones ass hole.
Dragontits worst by milesLuci second worstSylvie ehRest I'd be happy with
>>29643000it's been soon for how many years now
>>29642929Some folks just dont get along together.>>29642921True route as a term came later. I vote for marie due to how they interact and how well they fit each other.
>>29643021You're the worst.
>>29642944How quaint. Those are the only two I support.
>>29643021Your opinions made me feel physically ill.
>>29643021>Not shipping Tina and ritually committing suicide otherwise
>>29642865There are people who are against augmentation like the fuckers in dues ex human revolution right now, and you really think people as crazy as them would accept that?
>>29643021Personally I vote for Marianne and Luciana.
>>29643038After the last couple of threads, I don't think they do fit well. Marianne was never one of my favorites, but holy shit.
>>29643021Your taste is objectively terrible
>>29642921I feel the same way, I think all the support comes from true route shenanigans and the ranking system. I'd like Luci way more
>>29643111The last couple of threads was literally one morning.Ive not seen a xouple or long lasting friendship that didnt at least have one quarrel. .Even then she still wants fein to win at this stage despite the argument.
>>29642791>Hates greg>The person she used to idolize as her best friendwelp.
>>29642791As she enters the booth, Marianne is struck by how large it is. While the one that Father uses back home is quite large, this is simply a VIP booth and it still has enough room to seat plenty of people easily."Good morning, Princess!" Reya says as he seems to materialize next to her. "Since Reinhold isn't here, Sir Gregory asked me and Rana to act as your temporary protection in the meantime.""You're safe in our hands, Princess!" Rana says, turning around from her seat next to Nicolette to wave hello."That's nice to hear," Marianne replies."I'm surprised that you were even able to make it out here, Rana..." Reya says, shaking his head in a scolding manner."Did something happen?" Marianne asks, turning to him."Yes," Sylvie says, getting up from her seat to walk over to them. "Rana, Nicolette and Melanie here had a bit of a private party last night...""Umm, what?""C'mon, you don't have to tell on us like that, Sylvie..." Nicolette mumbles."Sir Gregory left some booze out, and all three of them got drunk," Sylvie says, glaring at them."...even Melanie?""Umm..." Melanie says, standing up from her seat next to Nicolette, "...I only had one glass so I wouldn't say that I was actually 'drunk,' so to speak...""Rana got plastered, though," Reya says, sighing. "I was REALLY worried when she didn't come back to our room last night but it turns out that she just crashed at the castle.">[2/?]
>>29643111they've had one or two arguments over the course of a month in which they spend half their waking time together. friends fight
If we're just voicing our opinions re: waifus, my personal favourites are as follows:Nicolette, followed closely by Sylvie and Rana.Unfortunately, Reinhold as-played-by-/tg/ I can only see as chaste, Marianne's toy once he eventually breaks and stops caring that she mistreats everyone around her, or ending up in an adventurer-duo-cum-relationship with Luciana.
>>29643165I dunno, I read it more as she wants the other guy to lose more than she wants Reinhold to. There's a massive difference between that and her really wanting Reinhold to win.
>>29643021>Rest>Including Mari.you are literally wrong in every way. There is no reason to like this broken bitch.
>>29643183>People still don't like RanaI don't see how people think
>>29643213Either provide good rationale for your claims and quit using the "ur wrong because bad" or just save your breath. Skub is skub.
>>29643183>Private partyOh ho ho ho~
>>29643165>>29643199it was less the fact that they fought, and more about he she felt like she had to rub it in that Elena had almost killed herself because we let her go on the trip.
>>29642921Yea, I'd rather not sink this friendship as well. We've lost half of our fleet already thanks to the Marconetti incursions.
>>29643203i see us more fixing mari up a bit so that she can get along with her old friends again, even if we don't go mari route
>>29643213>There is no reason to like this broken bitch.Except that she's broken and most males instinctively want to nurture and care for broken women.
>>29643203same, i under stand Marie because of the true route bullshit and her having the most screen time ,but luciana is what baffles me especially after the trauma bullshit card they pulled on both nico and sylvie.
>>29643260i thought she was trying to say not to string people along
>>29643273What?
>>29643296Because men are just as crazy as women.
>>29643296They're trying to say /tg/ is full of white knights that'll want to look after her because her old bodyguard was a dick*.*allegedly
>>29643204The thought process went with not wantinf rein to lose before the subject of monique came up. Honestly, its all pretty subjective but I see it that she holds on lasting ill will.
>>29643288She said that after we snapped. And there's not much we could have responded to that, considering it's spot on.
>>29643273Yeah, you learn to kill that instinct after the second go around. Well, that's not totally accurate...you learn not to engage with them romantically, help where you can and get them to get help where you can't, but keep your fucking distance.
>>29643273>>29643324>>29643326Guilty as charged
>>29643183man Melanie is a light weight! one glass? seriously? she's a rare one indeed.
>>29643288she didn't need to say it RIGHT AFTER the whole shitstorm had come down. She's right about not stringing them along, but she could have waited to say it instead of right then and there.
>>29643213>Says literally wrong in every way. Probably likes one of the two whores who spread their legs for any cute guy thats nice to them.
>marianne says that sir gregory is aggravating, which she's always said about him>calls monique a pompous idiot, which he is >calls rein out on what he said to elena, which was actually dumb>WHAT A BITCH FUCK MARIANNEnewfag pussies can't handle the #realtalk
>>29643334i thought it went"i hope you learned your lesson""you could have helped""how is this my fault" so she tried to get it across before we snapped
>>29643371It's obviously more "this is my chance to defend/prop up my waifu by throwing others under the bus!" Business as usual.
Goddamn, after all these shitstorms I hope Marconetti burns to the ground
>>29643371I'm thinking more of pussies who can't handle a strong independent black women.
>>29643371I don't know why they find this weird, since the early threads we know that Marianne and Greg have a problematic relation.It's because they're both short tempered, it takes someone like Rein to deal with her with her current emotional issues.
>>29643416Just report and filter.
>>29643371Gregory is husbando material. He's the most based character after Takamaru.>>29643400Oh, you're right.
>>29643356Missing the lesson.She is right.
>>29643416We all do. That would give Agnes, Luci and Elena excused to come visit us in Granache, indefinitely.
>>29643296Males have a caring/protective side, some more than others. This protective side attracts to broken women, because at some subconscious level they want to fix them. Women have the same predisposition, though it is slightly different.That in itself is a reason (though not a good one), to pursue Marianne.
>>29643447yeah, he's based as fuck, but marianne not liking him isn't new shit
>>29643416I hope Marianne burns to the ground.
>>29643468also taka, karel, and emilio just so we can get some more guy friends/sparring partnersplus inabaalso, we could ship agnes and arnaud
>>29643468Bah, Luci can stay in that goddamn country, she basically propelled all this waifu business
>>29643183If they were stupid enough to drink the same alcohol that Sir Gregory does then they definitely deserve whatever happened to them."We're all fine now, so don't worry about that," Nicolette says, leaning her head over the back of her seat to look at Marianne. "All three of us have our wits about us and we're ready to cheer Reinhold on!""Ehehe..." Sylvie laughs. "...I'm really looking forward to seeing this duel!""And you're not the only one!" Luciana chimes in. "I'm going to be cheering the loudest of all!""We'll see about that..." Sylvie replies, looking at the red-haired princess from over the top of her glasses.Whichever one Reinhold ends up falling for in the end, there is no way that this will end well. As such, Marianne makes a mental note to stay faaaar away whenever the inevitable blowup happens.And at that exact moment, the door swings open."I'll have both of you know that I'M the one who's gonna be cheering the loudest for Reinhold!" Citrine says as she strolls into the booth."...Citrine?" Marianne says, turning to Reinhold's sister as she and her husband approach. "I would have thought that you two would be in King Celestino's booth...""Yeah, but Citrine said that she wanted to sit with Reinhold's friends and so here we are," Marius says, shrugging."Am I intruding?" Citrine asks. "I mean, we can always find anothrt VIP booth if we are...""No, there's more than enough room for both of you!" Luciana says as she skips over to Citrine and takes her hands. "This here is the Reinhold Cheering Section anyways, so you're more than welcome!">[3/5]
>>29643507is it sad that he's a bit too old for her?
>>29643496I hope your waifu does too, bub.
>>29643468Agnes doesn't really need to answer to anyone who could prevent her visiting.Luciana has plenty of excuses to visit Granache, especially if she can convince her father to let her pursue Reinhold.Elena... could fly if she wanted.
>>29643517Marianne wouldn't like that.
>>29643517...no, she didn't, because the sylvie faggots and the nicolette faggots and the marianne faggots were shitting up the thread way before Marconetti happened.
>>29643454I never said she wasn't. But there's a thing called tact, and saying "I hope you learned a valuable lesson from this." after shit went down shows that she has none.
>>29643273I don't think it's a natural instinct, I think it's caused by different reasons. Some people have fetish for that kind of thing. Some people are looking for an emotional crutch. Some people feel it's so fulfilling to help others that they dedicate their lives to dealing with other people's shit. There are plenty of other reasons too, but I think relatively few people have an actual 'instinct' that extends that far.
>>29643517Here here. Maybe Luci and Slyvie will fall into some sort of rival hate/love relationship and solve all our problems.
>>29643416It's only going to get worse once we get back to Granache.
>Marianne makes a mental note to stay faaaar away whenever the inevitable blowup happensc'mon arch, don't talk through your characters
>>29643605It's going to get worse after whatever is about to go down during/after this duel
>>29643521>If they were stupid enough to drink the same alcohol that Sir Gregory does then they definitely deserve whatever happened to them.300 proof right?>Whichever one Reinhold ends up falling for in the end, there is no way that this will end well. As such, Marianne makes a mental note to stay faaaar away whenever the inevitable blowup happens.i wonder how she'll react to being the cause of said blow upalso, i'm waiting for elena to show up and show them who's really going to cheer the loudest, with a voice amplification spell
>>29643583I agree, its a completely unnatural instinct.In fact I would argue it is trained into most males in their formative years.
>>29643620but muh poignant commentary!
>>29643605Sylvie isn't as forward as her, Marie doesn't want to touch this drama with a 40ft pole, and Nico's trying to get the Melon so there's no way it can get any worse
>>29643521Just realisedGoing Marianne route means that she NTRs her best friend
>>29643649ALL ABOARD THE MARIE TRAIN, CHOO CHOOO
>>29643626...you realize 300 proof would equate to a 150% ABV content, right?(Incidentally, in the event you're wondering, 91% ABV is the most the distillation process can yield, due to how the chemistry between water and alcohol works)
>>29643647Wait, shit, should've looked at which post you were quoting
>>29643649CHOO CHOO
>>29643649All of her friends really.
>>29643647>there's no way it can get any worseuntil we do some manly shit, involving telling mari to sit her peaches down so we can do our job, and she gets attracted to us as well
>>29643649Bueno...
>>29643649She NTRs all her friends.I like this.
>>29643649As someone who knows very little about animu, what's with this REJOICE thing?
>>29643649Don't they have to be together first for it to be ntr?
>>29643649You idiots have lost any sense of what NTR is if you ever knew.
>>29643649You don't know what NTR means, do you?
>>29643649Ok, that I can support.
>>29643649Her route is pretty much the hardest one to good end due to how shitty she'd feel over all the shit it would cause
>>29643661yes...you realize this is a world with literal fucking magic, right?
>>29643626she will probably fight them off.
>>29643686suffering>>29643688Luciana is already planning a wedding.
>>29643686Fate reference.
>>29643686The character in question has a boner for causing pointless suffering and misery.He says REJOICE a few times, so it became a thing.
>>29643698Why do we want a "good end" again?
>>29643712>Luciana is already planning a wedding.that doesn't mean they're together, which NTR requires as far as i know
>>29643698you know the old saying anon!WORK HARDFUCK HER HARDER
>>29643709So then it'd be magical hooch, because even with magic you still don't have a 150% ABV content when there's only 100% total.
>>29643731Because /tg/ wants to 'win' the quest.
>>29643731Because True Ends are always sad.Good ends are nice.
>>29643749magic distilation
who the hell would marianne end up with if not reinhold? she'd end up as the PSQ version of Elizabeth I
>>29643521"How kind of you, Princess Luciana!" Citrine giggles."I'll be sitting over there..." Luciana says, pointing to a seat near the corner. "I assume that you want to sit next to me, Marianne?""Of course," Marianne replies."Alright, then..." Luciana turns to the Lanzmanns. "Feel free to sit wherever you like!""Thanks, Princess!" Citrine says cheerfully."Not in the front row, I don't want to risk a repeat of you nearly falling out like back during the first tournament.""Aww, you're no fun...""We -also- have a baby to worry about now, you know?""Yeah, I guess you do have a point after all..." she mumbles.After Citrine and Marius take a pair of seats behind Nicolette, Melanie and Rana, Marianne starts over to her own seat......and then the door flies open again. What now?"WAIT FOR MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" Elena shouts as she practically flies into the room, Andreas chasing behind her.Thankfully, she's not -actually- flying this time."...oh, so Mother actually let you come after all," Luciana says, turning towards her little sister."She needs this pillow to sit down on, though..." Andreas replies, laughing to himself as he holds up (an adorable) bunny-shaped pillow."Shut up, Andreas..." Elena mumbles.>[4/5]
>>29643777HF True was happy

can we get a school days style true end?did that game even have a good end?
>>29643791someone who actually has a spine?
>>29643791Whoever politics dictate? She's a not just a princess she's the fucking heir for crying out loud, that shit ain't left to chance (usually).
>>29643847Nobody knows about it because meido has nopresence
>>29643791There's a lot of peopleyou could say that about anyone in this quest as wellWho would Luci end up with? Some asshole noble Who would Nico end up with? Someone who probably isn't even half of what her sword strength isWho would Sylvie end up with? Would she end up with anyone?As it stands, the reason Reinhold is doing so well is because there isn't much competition here.
>>29643867thieri has flat said he's not going to make mari marry someone she doesn't love just for politics
>>29643791Hopefully no one
>>29643825G-Senjou no Maou, I think is the one you're talking about.
>>29643840pls no
>>29643831Thanks for that I needed a laugh.
>>29643860yes but the quest doesn't have a theme like that one, not that you care anyway cause you clearly don't follow it.
>>29643867Aquaman already said she could marry whoever the hell she wants, and if everyone is too much of an irritating pussy, then tough
>>29643885We'll see what she chooses to do, or not, for her country as she gets older.
>>29643867You must be new.Thierri wants her to marry for love, not politics.
>>29643867Under Thierri it is. Probably because he decided why give a fuck about politics when you got a row of monster swordmen as your friends?
>>29643893Massive disappointment of a game.I thought there'd be actual puzzles and shit but no, just some pretentious crap here and there before the next typical VN choice.
>>29643902not yet, but if we try to go harem route arch may pull one. he has met the urobutcher
>>29643846best girl
>>29643867> this angry newfag
>>29643867>>29643879but Marianne has extremely high standards and Therri doesn't seem as interested as Celestino in marrying his daughter off just to make a good politicao match
I really do hope that Marianne never falls for Reinhold.
>>29643979Same. Not to spite anyone, but as it stands she's very clearly not interestedLike half of the thread tried to unite to friendzone nicolette, and she actually liked us. I think the entire Marie route is like the fox and the grapes. We only value her because we can't/it's very difficult to have her.
>>29643935I have been meaning to ask for a while, who/what is the urobutcher and why is he synonymous with surreptitious disaster?
>>29643777>PGQ Marie true end>Nico x Melon happily ever after>Sylvie dies to save Rein>Lucy sudokus shortly before Rein and Marie's wedding>Marie sudokus night before wedding out of guilt>Rein becomes a hermit
>>29643798>[5/5]Elena then snatches the pillow from her bodyguard, storming over to a front-row seat, carefully placing the cushion before slowly sitting down. It's all Marianne can do to keep from laughing when she sees the little princess wince with pain as she lowers herself into her seat...After what happened this morning, Marianne finally understands why Luciana always seems so exasperated when dealing with her."Ah, so you're over here?" Reya asks as he shuffles over in the row behind her."Yes," Marianne replies."Guess this is where I go, then," he says with a chuckle as he sits down. "Considering that Reinhold bashed me in the head when we were sparring, I'm wondering how badly he'll mess up this Monique guy...""I just hope that he doesn't end up breaking his sword again," Marianne replies. "He's sure to completely lose his mind if that happens."Heh, you're probably right..." Reya says as he leans back in his chair. "Well... whatever happens is sure to be fun so let's just sit back and enjoy the show!">last sceneshift before it is back to the reinhold>royal side>brother side>rival side

>>29644029>rival sideCan this be the last side POV change we do and finally get to the duel?
>>29644110There's quite a few moments you can take as that. But it's probably a bit of shipping goggles involved.
>>29644192it is
>>29644142I don't remember exactly which is why it's so frustrating. I'm trying the archives but no luck so far.It may have been the same conversation as when Luci intimated knowledge of Marie's animal scale.
>>29644110>where it was heavily implied that Mari had already fallen for Rein but was being tsundere about it?i think i remember the conversation but i didn't get any "mari likes rein" feelings out of it, since when she denied having feelings for him it wasn't some frantic denial thing, it was more of a exhasperated sigh

>>29644222That's how you do it if you want to play it cool.
>>29644222The way I see it. Marie really doesn't want to be in love with anyone. Kind of like Rein doesn't really want to deal with that kind of relationship right now.
>>29644269shit, at this rate we'll be doing 2 more threads tonight just to finish this. i am happy with this of course.
>>29644269Wasn't trying to say we're in imminent danger, just that we're past the bump limit and thus it's probably better if the duel and its potential aftermath end up in a fresh thread.If Arch can cram it all into what's left of this one, hey, more power to him, but I don't think anyone wants this thing ending up getting rushed just to make sure it all fits in one thread.

It feels kind of nostalgic, helping Agnes like this... he hasn't done so since back when he and Volker used to hang out. Fucking shame what happened to him... Gregory had half a mind to run out there himself when he got the news, but it's in far better hands than his.And with any luck, Volker's been avenged by now and his soul is finally resting in peace.Luckily, Agnes walks pretty fast for an old lady and so they make it to the royal box before too long. Gregory would hate for Agnes to aggravate her arthritis any more than absolutely necessary, after all."Wait here for a second, I'll open the door," he says to the old lady."Thanks, Gregory... you've always been such a nice boy," Agnes replies, smiling at her old acquaintance."You're like the only one aside from Elena who actually thinks that," he says with a sad laugh."I guess that's one more thing that we have in common, eh?""Don't let Celestino hear you say that...">[1/?]
>>29644535she is, actually
>>29644500Oh well, I'm as happy with royal. Just wasn't interested in Matthias.
>>29644441I gotta go with Rana on this also
>>29644310No, its a completely viable viewpoint, and one I share myself. Forget boyfriends/girlfriends; they probably just want a stable core of friends. Unfortunately for Reinhold most of his friends are interested in something more.
>>29644565Oh my, what is this I see? Is Gregory developing his character?I'm happy with this turn of events!
>>29644591Reinhold.
>>29644565I'd like to know one of these days why Gregory has such a shitty reputation.We know he's a bad boss and is short-tempered, but everyone talk of him like he's the incarnation of evil.
>>29644591We've already gotten canon sizes for like half of the female characters.
>>29644625He doesn't have one
>>2964462511 inches uncut.
>>29644625this
>>29644625Twelve feet
>>29644625Larger than Monique's, much, much smaller than Thierri's.If we end up with Mari she'll never get over that particular disappointment,
>>29644652We could always have Niklaus augment it.
>>29644652You mean nostalgia.
>>29644625If he were knighted, his title would be "the impaler" make of that what you will
>>29644591Given the age range I'm guessing they're all A's and B's except Rana who's probably a Large C (dragon) and Karel's Mom who is clearly a DD at the minimum.
>>29644591Marie BMaid A+Luci CLewd mage B+Rana DragonNico D+++those bandages does a great of work.
>>29644625As big as his chin.
>>29644668>implying he isn't the jackhammer
>>29644652 Daddy was much bigger >>29644668If he were knighted he'd also be Swordbreaker like Volker. you know what that means for his sex life
>>29644625doesn't have one.got beaten out of him in the past.
>>29644565Don't worry Gregory someday you to will find an Amarou for your Char
>>29644670>>29644674Sylvie has the biggest one, Marianne the smallest. It's canon.
>>29644694Reinhold uses his penis to shatter others?
>>29644633Because most people see him as The Red Mist, the unrepentant badass who is in a permanent bad mood. Add that on top of the other two things, and it's readily apparent why people are afraid of him. He's a scary fucking guy, and his attitude only makes it worse.
I think Marie would be pretty kinky in the sack
>>29644714Yes. He's going to wait for Monique to find someone, then walk into the room and break his dick with his dick.
>>29644736At least then he would have a better reason to be as pissed off as he is.
>>29644625http://en.inkei.net/Reinhold!Reinhold_Eschenwaldmuch better now that he's an eshenwald
>>29644736And then apologise for it just before his brother in law unveils a painting of the event.
>>29644735>inb4 she got rape fantasies
>>29644735Doubt it. If you tried to go knuckle deep in her asshole I bet she'd just slap you and walk out.
>>29644778Only because you didn't use your fist.
>>29644778>implying going knuckle deep in her asshole is kinkyrookie
>>29644565As he opens the door, Gregory jumps back in shock as he's met with Thierri's smiling face."Gaah!" he shouts. "The hell's wrong with you, Thierri!?""Just having a bit of fun since I heard you coming," Thierri replies, slapping his cousin on the back."You're lucky that you didn't end up spooking Agnes instead," Gregory mumbles, pointing to the old lady."As if YOU would ever let HER open a door on her own!"Thierri then turns to Agnes and bows deeply."Pleased to make your acquaintance once again, milady." Thierri says in his most gentlemanly voice."Quit the flattery, Thierri!" Agnes says, laughing. "You know that it's not proper for -you- to be bowing to -me-...""I was raised to show my elders respect, you know that!""Then try explaining the way you act towards me," Celestino chimes in, having gotten up from his seat to stand in the doorframe."Fossils don't count as elders," Gregory replies with a smirk."Yeah, yeah..." Celestino says, shaking his head. "Nice to see you again, Agnes. I assume that Gregory took it upon himself to invite you up here?""If I'm in the way, I cal always go somewhere else..." Agnes replies as she prepares o turn around."C'mon, I didn't mean it like that!" he laughs. Come on inside, you two will be the last ones inside since Lisette and my adorable baby are already here.">[2/?]
>>29644811>Implying reinhold would be using his own knuckle.
>>29644812>"Fossils don't count as elders," Gregory replies with a smirk.BURRRN
>>29644633He probably instigated much of it himself. Therri has him handle most of the political bullshit as I remember it, and there's a lot to be said for having a "massacre first, justify later" mindset when dealing political sycophants and such.
>>29644812>"Fossils don't count as elders," Gregory replies with a smirk.how old is he
>>29644778>implying that she doesn't have a dragon dildo stashed in her closet somewhere.
Karel's mom is going to take this chance to assassinate her target.
>>29644771>look up my own penis>ability notes (fatso only)what's that mean
>>29644854He was king while Agnes was a kid, but other than that 100+ is all we know
Rolled 3>>29644702That's Johnny Ridden, Actually
>>29644881You can only fuck fat people.
>>29644812Ok, given how many friends, real friends, she has here, how has Granache not just offered to fix her damn arthritis for her? Seriously, if Celestino can effectively be immortal there's got to be some decent Medical Magic in this setting, and we ought to be able to get her access to it.
>>29644854It'll never actually be answered and all we will ever know is that he is just really old.
>>29644886yes I know but I don't have a image of the red zaku on this computer
>>29644771We need to waifu marianne now>http://en.inkei.net/Reinhold!Reinhold_Granache
>>29644911>Not trying out the affinity of Reinhold Eschenwald and Marriane
>>29644911Okay this convinced me. Rein needs Marianne.
>>29644911The gorgeous shining king
>>29644886Same difference.
>>29644911Too bad you spelled Granche wrong.
>>29644894but i don't like fatties>>29644911>the gorgeous shining kingoh god it's so fitting
>>29644911>That nameWelp all aboard the Marie train.
>>29644932100%wow.
>>29644911Reinhold Granache does have a nice ring to it
>>29644932need mari's full name
>>29644946It's even better spelled right
>>29644886Accept no substitutes.
>>29644911I don't know, I prefer Marianne Eschenwald myself. We can rename the country, right?
>>29644979As names go I think 'Reinhold Eschenwald di Marconetti' is quite a good one, to be honest.
>>29644937>>29644956The title..The analyzer has decided, Reinhold shall become the Gorgeous Shining King
>>29645003We have a winner!
>>29644993anon are you a Char?
>>29644812Wasting no time, Agnes takes a seat beaide the Queen as the three men chat about something or other."It's nice seeing you again, Agnes," Lisette says."Likewise," Agnes replies. "And little Chiara here is such a cutie!""BAAAA!" Chiara shouts, reaching for the old lady."No, now..." Lisette says to the baby as she pulls her firmly on her lap. "You don't act rough with Agnes."As the ladies fawn over the baby, Celestino, Thierri and Gregory finally take their seats."So Gregory was informing me of certain... suspicions you have?" Thierri asks, his previously jovial tone instantly turning serious."Eh it's nothing that this duel won't clear up," Celestino replies, waving his hand dismissively."I do hope that you don't try anything stupid...""Like I said, this duel will make everything clear.""What's this about the duel?" Agnes asks, turning to Celestino. "And suspicions?""Nothing that I want to worry you about," Celestino replies.>[3/4]

>>29645053>"No, now..." Lisette says to the baby as she pulls her firmly on her lap. "You don't act rough with Agnes."Not sure if this is an admonishment or a warning.Amusing either way, though.
>>29645053>"What's this about the duel?" Agnes asks, turning to Celestino. "And suspicions?">"Nothing that I want to worry you about," Celestino replies.I hope she sets his ass straight considering it most definitely concerns her.
>>29645109>a idiot
>>29645139
I can't believe how drawn out this whole thing is. And it's pretty obvious that the princess booth is going to get jacked. Marconetti Arc is truly the blight of this quest.
>>29645053"Knowing you, it's probably something that involves Reinhold," Agnes says, sighing. "I'm all too familiar with your paranoia...""Seriously," Gregory replies, shaking his head. "He's just being stupid again, don't mind him.""I suppose you're suspicious of Reinhold?" she asks. "You probably think he's a spy from Ancellotta or something...""I can assure you that he is indeed from Granache," Thierri replies. "Arnaud did a LOT of background checking on him before he came to the castle, and I know that he's one of the few people whose judgement you completely trust.""Even if you are right, that doesn't cover the rest of my suspicions," Celestino replies."Ah, you think he's trying to pull the wool over this old lady's eyes?" Agnes asks. "Honestly, Celestino...""Why don't you just say the entire thing?" Gregory says. "It's not like it doesn't involve her too.""Dammit, Gregory..." Celestino mumbles under his breath. "Very well, I'll admit that I -am- indeed suspicious of his alleged grandson. His story's far too convenient, and then there's the matter of his sister... while she is married to my good friend Marius, I know of her past prior to that. And I very much doubt tha-""They BOTH told me about EVERYTHING that they went through before God finally decided to bless them with their current good fortune, Celestino," Agnes says, cutting the King off mid-sentence.>[4/5]
>>29645339It's not as bad as Shadow Quest's... uh... that sky island, with the airship, and the storm.
>>29645339Feel free to complain in QTG!
>>29645339>And it's pretty obvious that the princess booth is going to get jacked....huh, didn't think about thatWell, Reya and Rana ought to be competent enough to keep Princess safe, but we are so getting a paydock for all this shit
>>29645377>[5/5]She really -isn't- afraid of him..."And everything else they told me about Volker matches up with other information which I am sure that Thierri can verify," Agnes says. "Not to mention that Reinhold's carrying around the sword that I got Volker for his twenty-third birthday...""Wait, seriously!?" Gregory exclaims, staring at her. "That's the one Volker liked because it didn't-""Yes because it was sturdy enough to keep up with his terrible form," she nods."In that case, I'm sure you'd understand the conditions for my releasing that boy from my suspicions..." Celestino begins...
>>29645377>"They BOTH told me about EVERYTHING that they went through before God finally decided to bless them with their current good fortune, Celestino," Agnes says, cutting the King off mid-sentence.Hell yeah, Grandma!
>>29645339>Princess booth get jacked>Reya and Rana >And Takamaru>And Karel are all sitting RIGHT THEREI pity the fool who lays a finger on that princess trigger
>>29645377>celestino status: rekt
>>29645377>"They BOTH told me about EVERYTHING that they went through before God finally decided to bless them with their current good fortune, Celestino," Agnes says, cutting the King off mid-sentence.Tell that old fuck, Agnes! Hurt him with your words!
>>29645377Based grandma.
>>29645339>I can't believe how drawn out this whole thing is.This is only like the third thread of the day. You ain't seen nothing yet.
>>29645339And its nowhere near as bad as MSQ's everything.
>>29645339And I'm still hoping there's a successful coup in Granache that will result in us and the princess on the run from assassins, trying to survive as fugitives fleeing across the continent. Then as a later arc we can retake the country for her and exact vengeance on those responsible for her father's death (her father actually being secretly held captive somewhere as an optional plot point).
>>29645377#rekt
>>29645416>"In that case, I'm sure you'd understand the conditions for my releasing that boy from my suspicions..." Celestino begins...like biting moniques sword in half

>>29645530Thus begins his journey to find a sword that not even Reinhold can break.
>>29645541Well, he is the anti-Celestino, so yeah I could see that.
>>29645550Technically he just gave one away to Emilio
>>29645541Why would he want Marianne to be interested in Reinhold, specifically? He barely knows him.
>>29645530I think Monique would probably start trying to actually kill ReinholdTHIS MAN IS AN EYESORE
>>29645549I want Monique to actually call Reinhold a whoreson to his face, and for Reinhold to correct him and point out that he was raised by whores, and his actual parentage is undetermined.

>>29645622Aaaa, to be young once more.
>>29645622It's from Tsukuhime (I think?). Mystic Eyes of Depth Perception.
>>29645622>am i missing somethingIt's a reference to some weaboo NEET bullshit.You're also missing a fair amount of capitalization.
>>29645639what?
>>29645622Tsukihime reference

>>29645644I'm pretty sure having depth perception isn't a mystic power
>>29645622Tsukihime if I'm not mistaken
>>29645611>Pretty sure that's not allowed.Nothing saying he hasn't requested use of his family's gift for this duel.You know, so that Emelio gets to see it in action. Not because Monique is really extra-double paranoid about losing again and wants to make sure he's giving himself the best advantage possible, no sir.Just an exhibition, naturally.
>>29645650>weaboo NEET bullshitAnd me without my 'Where do you think you are?' image of Dr. Cox & Scrubsguy
>>29645673The real name is Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, but I've never actually seen it written that way.
>>29645652Apologies.The line comes from a pretty old vn, tsukihime, in which the mc proceeds to destroy a xhair all the while muttering THIS CHAIR IS AN EYESORE.
>>29645611"You damn whoreson! How dare you insult me like this?""I never met my mother! I was just raised by whores."
>>29645652He meant to imply that anyone who hasn't played the VN is an underage newfag.He's right, in a way. After you complete those games, you feel like you spent half of your lifetime on it.
>>29645691That was sarcasm
>>29645683>monique gets magic sword of STEEL from emilio>rein doesn't know it's the prince's>3 nat 20s>break it in half>emilio gets mad at monique for letting his new favorite sword get broken
