"There was this one fight." you say. "It was me against a Water Conjurer. Name of Monsoon." you say. "He really liked to humiliate his opponents."

"I remember him." the King says. "Loved to strip them down, if I remember?"

"Yeah. Wretched person." you admit. "So I'm just getting started in the arena, and this guy is slated to be my opponent. At the time, I had just learned magebreaking. Turns out his torrent is a single spell, instead of a series." you chuckle. "Bad decision, on their part."

"So the fight is going on and on, and they're pretty clearly stalling for time so I get tired. Eventually I get fed up with it, and I use my shield to block the torrent. Monsoon wasn't expecting it - no one was. Monsoon loved to wear drapey stuff." you laugh, trying to maintain cohesion of your voice. "And so... so it turned out, I blasted all their clothes off! By accident! And it was just a woman my age! So slime and slender she could have passed for a boy, and did!"

You lean against the table. "It didn't stop her, either, she just kept going until I finally caught up with her! I never heard the stands so uproarous!"

You lean back as the story elicits some mirth.

Chat with our charge some, ask what he would've done if he was at the arena that day. Also tell him he did a good job handling Umda, see how he's doing, maybe tease him a bit about being smitten by a princess.

If we get a chance talk to Gina, the King's bodyguard, we're in the same line of business, we may as well get to know each other.

Sorry about that deletion, major typo.

You lean back, turning to the Dra, and sigh.
"Is it always like this?" you ask. He shakes his head.
"Long stints of boredom punctuated by short stints of fighting for the life of yourself and others." he says. "Things like this are only common in the long run. Someone always wants the royalty dead for one reason or another, and you get to deal with those competent enough to get past or through security."

"So what have you had to deal with?"

"Mostly magi." he says. "I don't have talent for it, usually I work alongside another magi, or Yui."

"Yui?"

"Our resident magebreaker. Very powerful, but against anyone without magic, weak as a boiled noodle. We make a fine team."

Something bristles. Really? Jealousy at this stage of things? Calm thyself.

"She has quite the bright blue eyes, though."

Something tumbles in your belly, but you don't lose it.

"Oh yeah." Umda says. "I found something." he reaches into his bag. Out of the corner of your eye, you see the metal rod.

You take a deep breath, looking at the rod. You remember, oh yes. You remember it all quite clearly. But you push it all back. Out of the corner of your eye, you see the Prince look your way and slide a knife away from the table, making to get up.

But one moment follows the next, as discussion rises around it, and it's returned to the bag. You almost let out a gasp.

"Excuse me, I need some air." Mike says, rising. "If my guardian would attend...?"

You go with him, out to the courtyard. The fresh air is nice on your face.

"That was close." he says.

"Thank you Micheal. I needed the fresh air.

But don't you ever dare hurt yourself for me, I'm supposed to protect you after all."

Hold his hand, wrap an arm around his shoulder. Get some physical contact.

>>29838283
You take another deep breath.
"Thank you. I needed the air more than you did."

"I actually have trouble eating meat." he admits. "But that's another point, are you going to be alright?"

"I'll be fine. How... could you tell?"

"Your eyes did a..." he makes a pinching motion with his thumb and pointing finger. "A thing." he says, "I saw it. It looked just like the time I did it to you." he sits on a bench.

"Oh... But... Don't ever seriously consider hurting yourself! I don't even understand why. I could be easily replaced, even by someone better."

"You're the first Guard to care about me."

"...I'm sorry?"

"The others were too scared to teach me properly. The others were too scared to speak with me. The others didn't make jokes, or jibe me, or anything." he says. "Always they handled me with silk gloves, silent stares, and quiet watches. Dutiful. But bound." he leans back and looks at the stars.

"Mike..."

He looks over at you, concern in his soft blue eyes.
"What happened, Annelin?" he asks.

>Tell him.
>Don't tell him.

>>29838425

"Your eyes really are pretty."

Hold his hand, and tell him.

>>29838425
>>Tell him.

>>29837988
>>DC: 80
I really hope we get better at handling our shit. Maybe get a few hunk hugs from Dr. Abs to keep us cool.

>Tell him.
I trust the prince more then the Doc at this point. And besides he is covering for us so he deserves to know.

>>29838425
>don't tell him
Something bad, but not something to be shared. Not yet.

>>29838425
>Tell him.

>>29838425
>>Tell him.
He saved our ass twice now, he deserves to know.

>>29838425
>Tell him.
Lying to our job is a bad choice, and bottling it up is equally stupid. The prince should probably be our only confidant so far, since he knows and stood up for us. Any castle employees are right out, though maybe Teel or one of the priests if we get to know them better

>>29838425
>Don't tell him
"Something that I may well never be able to talk about...Maybe, in time, I will, but it probably won't be tonight. Thank you though, it's been a long time since anyone's shown me any genuine concern as well."

Man this kid is a smart manipulative bastard. Probably well meaning though.

>>29838425
>Tell him.

>>29838548
Karl maybe, since he already knows something is up.

>>29838470
Whether we tell him or not, please don't turn us into a little brownnoser.

>>29838425
If we don't start working through this at least a little, it could end up getting HIM killed also. Maybe not everything, but he deserves to know at least a little.

He's trying to help already, even if he doesn't know how best to, or why he needs to. Better to at least help him in the right direction.

>>29838425
Tell him. As is, we are going to need to tell someone soon and it may as well be the guy who needs us to protect his ass and is good with words.

>>29838425
>Don't tell him

>>29838478

Karl also said that if he finds out about another flashback or episode happening he will get us fired.

Wait, why aren't we using the temple to get this shit sorted out? There has to be some god there who can put out some mind boon.

>>29838634
Whelp, we're getting blackmailed by our employer now...

>>29838629
>besides, we just met him!
We already gave his finger a blowjob.
>>29838641
He also said if we ever need to talk it out, he would be there for us.

Besides, I'm just presenting options. I actually like prince better as of right now

>>29838684
our employer figured shit out. Also, he's the prince. He also doesn't need to blackmail us, he could make something up and literally anyone would take his word over ours

>>29838684
He already could blackmail us since we literally owe our job to him.

Besides, we would likely just resign before becoming his personal slave.

>>29838698
>We already gave his finger a blowjob.
>using teeth
>during a blowjob
How about no?

>>29838698
>we already gave his finger a blowjob.
Now that's a gross exaggeration of what we did. But even so, it was a finger, keep your pants on.

>>29838698
fair enough, and beyond that one thing I just said I don't have any real reason for saying no to telling Karl. I don't know what it is, but the Doc just gives me kind of a creepy vibe.

>>29838773
Maybe its the fact that he brought up being able to blackmail us and such. I think its part of his whole following Law deal. He is really straightforward, both in laying the facts down on the table and in flirtations. He smolders instead of charms, you know?

>>29838684
He already knew enough to get us fired, he could have done that any time he wanted because he's the Prince. And he doesn't have anything that can stop us from just leaving.

This isn't even taking into account that the Prince has so far been an all around good person. Sure he sleeps around, but he doesn't try to be a dick about it, and he listened when we explained to him the potential repercussions. I don't think he's at all interested in blackmail.

>>29838634
You relax. Something about him puts you at ease. Karl makes your heart race, and Teel makes you feel challenged, but the boy makes you smile and feel warm.
"You deserve to know. But this... This is a close secret." you say.
He nods, and you sit beside him.
"I used to live in one of the more distant towns. This was about... twenty years ago, when I was six." you say. "Which meant your father was still a prince, under your grandfather, and you hadn't been born yet. A year or so off - your father had met your mother... when, again?"

"A year before this happened."

"Thank you. Anyway. The old king found out about a Appal uprising, near his city. My father was a guard at the time, and he was offered a lot of money to allow his daughter to help the king with 'a small task'." you curl up a little at the words - on a writ you found in your attic. "That small task was carrying one of those rods into the Appal lair. They let me in, assuming I was a lost child."

You stare at the ground.
"It was... some kind of magic weapon. I still don't know what it is, and I've never seen information on it. It felt alive. And when I opened it, it reached out, and... And it pulled the souls right out of the bodies of those Appals. Right in front of me. Have you ever seen what soul damage does to a person?"

He shakes his head.

"It... It removes the life from that part of the body. It rots, almost instantly. And those poor things, it happened to their whole bodies all at once." you hold your head, trying not to conjure up memories of scales falling out, hair turning to slime... You shake your head.

"They pulled me out of there, away from those piles of dust, and news came out among the other Appals. That their brothers had resisted the king, and turned to ash. Others fell in line quickly, and their nation crumbled under the pressure from the public to surrender and unify. It was from there that your father launched his armies, and it was from there that he gained kinghood.

>>29838829
Karl also insinuated unconscious gropings from the prince, meaning it was something he thought to do.
>>29838835
He even wrote us that cute little note.

>>29838883
"So." you say. "What do you say, Prince?"

"I say it's horrible. I say it's horrible and I wish my grandfather was still alive so I could put him to trial. I wish my father knew and I could tell him and we could all apologize. In the eyes of the gods, my grandfather was a monster." he sighs. "Except Law." he adds. "Your secret is safe with me. I could investigate it if you want."

>Yes, please.
>No, this is my issue.
>Writein

>>29838932
>>No, this is my issue.
I'm not sure we really need to trouble him with it, especially since there has been two attempts on his life in two days, one of which involved demon dragons.

>Yes, please.

The second one was probably somehow involved with the rod.

Remember the guy who left and said "We Remember" right into our head. That's probably referring to us and the rod of death.

>>29839098
"No." you say. "This is my issue - and it's dangerous and seems quite riddled with nasty repurcussions. One of the assassins told me he remembers me." you curl up a little.

"They left gems, right?" he asks.

"Yeah. Why?"

"There... might be someone we can ask about this." he says. "Someone I personally know, and old friend. He's an expert in demonology. At least we should know who is attacking us."

He nods, rising and holding his hand to help you up. You take it.

You stretch, smiling, and chuckle. "Thanks. This... This is a big help, maybe I'll even cook for you."

He smiles.
"I wouldn't mind that."

"But we should head back before people start to worry overmuch for my chastity." you add hurriedly, heading back to the table. Gina, Teel, and Karl have all seperated, and are waving from a large round table with several round half-spheres sticking out.

"Oh, a dra-dice table." you say. "You guys planning a game?"

The others nod. "We were wondering if you were interested. The charges will all be asleep, and we'll have the Observatory to ourselves."

"Alright, I'm not much of a gambler. You'll have to teach me. But... What are the stakes?"

"Well, we've not decided yet. Going idea is drinks." Karl says. "And from there..." he lets it hang.

"Anyway." Gina says, It works like this: Each of these spheres contains five dice. Only you can see your dice." she says, sitting you down to show you. "The dice are rolled magically within a small antigravity pocket that keeps them just above the surface. Each pocket is tied to a rune on top of the sphere."

"A rune for every element of life." Teel states. "Old dra philosophy. I'll tell you later if you're interested."

"Anyway... Everyone rolls once to start the game." she says. "The bets are set with everyone betting the same. When the dice stop, the oldest at the table," she nods at Karl, "Goes first, then around the table. You choose a number of dice to reroll, then throw in a bet or fold." she says, "You tap the runes to lock in those dice. The objective is to build a hand with your dice better than the others."

"From best to worst: A straight, full house (That is, a pair and three of a kind), two pair, three of a kind, one pair, and number high. Ties are broken by value."

"So. Feel like playing?"

The dice are six sided...

>Hell yeah, let's fucking play!
>Naw, I should go to bed.
>Pour me a beer.
>Suggest alternative stakes.

>>29840136
It was supposed to be a joke on his skirtchasing tendencies, lolwut just botched the delivery.

>>29840174
It's pretty much poker with dice, with very simplified betting rules.

>>29840174
Pour me a beer and let's get this show on the roll

>>29840174
>>Hell yeah, let's fucking play!
>Pour me a beer.

>>29840174
>>Hell yeah, let's fucking play!
Lets save the alternative stakes for after everyone has a few drinks in them.

>>29840174

>Hell yeah, let's fucking play!
>Pour me a beer.

>>29840174
>Pour me a beer
We're in, but we aren't as hyper enthusiastic as a gambling addict.

>>29840174
>Pour me a beer
>Hell yeah, let's fucking play!
sit next to Teel, is best dragon

>>29840191
So d13?

>>29840174
"Pour me a beer, and let's get started."

Get our poker face on, get a beer. Try to get a read on everyone else.

And once people start drinking it'll totally end in betting clothes. This table is just going to end up with four buff people wearing next to nothing sitting around it.

Rolled 5, 4, 6, 3, 2 = 20

Updates for play will be slow. I will roll for you, and roll the dice in a seperate location for your opponents.

>>29840228
>>29840226
>>29840213
>>29840201
"Roll me in!" you sit down, and smirk. You all slap your spheres and watch the dice tumble...

>>29840278
>From best to worst: A straight
Beginners luck is strong.

>>29840278
You blink at your dice. That's... That's a good roll, right? You aren't entirely sure.

>What do you bet?
>What do you reroll?

In this case, your bets will be 'how many shots' with the lowest hand drinking all the bets.

>>29840278

High Straight. We win.

Fleece these chumps for all they're worth.

>>29840278
>dat straight

>>29840306
>Bet...a beer?
How does the raising system work? Do we know yet?

>>29840314
In that case, lets lock in and drop like 5 shots on these mofos. I want to see want a drunken dragon acts like.

>>29840306
Wait, so no one can fold?

>>29840306
Reroll absolutely nothing.

Bet four drinks, keep our poker face completely straight.

Though that's kind of harsh for the loser.

>>29840306
Is there an option to raise?

>>29840306
lets bet 3 shots

>>What do you bet?
ALL IN

LODS OF EMONE

>>29840306
Bet 3, they might fold if we go too high.

Hopefully we can raise.

AND REROLL NOTHING!

Rolled 6, 3, 1, 4, 2 = 16

>>29840381
>>29840347

>>29840371
(You can. People who fold don't count for who has the lowest hand. And if you steal the blinds, so to speak, no one drinks.)

"I'm betting four shots, and rerolling nothing." you say as straight as you can.

Karl smiles.
"I'm gonna toss in three shots." he says. Teel folds, and Gina throws in two. Nine shots for the loser. You reveal your hands, and everyone laughs hard. Karl sighs, and starts to pour himself some shots. "Beginner's luck is strong with this one." he says.

You all roll again...

>>29840306
Assuming there's only one reroll let's go with 2 shots. Don't want tip our hand.

>>29840506
Well, damn.

Uh, fold.

>>29840506
What do you reroll?
What do you bet?

>>29840555
any one care explain the rules to me?

>>29840506
>Fold.
I assume the blind is one shot?

>>29840557
Reroll the one, and bet two shots.

>>29840557
fold

>>29840557
Reroll the first dice.
Bet two drinks.

>>29840557
reroll the 1

>>29840557
We reroll first, right?

Might as well go for it again and reroll the 1.

Two high-straights in a row as our first two hands would be pretty hilarious.

>>29840506
Wait, Karl's immune to the negative effects of alcohol, isn't he?

Rolled 3

>>29840609
>>29840604
Rerolling.

>>29840557

>>29840174

Where does 5 of a kind fit into the hand order?

>>29840660
What do you bet?

>Change the stakes?

>>29840660
I hope we get really drunk and end up sleeping with someone.

But not fucking them, just waking up in the same bed, all sweaty.

>>29840660
High or low is better all other things being equal?

>>29840689
Fold, it's a low pair.

>>29840689
Hold if possible, call if not. But we should find out what the others' bets are first.

>>29840689
2 shots

>>29840689
Fold.

>yfw Karl just lost all his gains

>>29840898
>yfw we'll have to whip him back into prime physical state

>>29840898
Dude's a healing Mage. He's immune to liver damage and alcohol toxicity. He's fine.

>>29840943
We don't have time to check on a five day split. We've got things to stab. Mainly the Prince.

So I'm kind of imagining Michael to look like Joseph Joestar, except less muscled. All we need now is the sleight of hand and trickery.

>>29840898
>yfw Karl was a recovering alcoholic

>>29840943
>>29840898
Karl is Dr. Abs, not the prince

>>29841168
I think of him more as the Steel Ball Run iteration's JoJo. Or it's Dio...

>>29840734
>>29840843
>>29840663

You fold out, and well so - Karl was holding a low straight, and Gina was set to drink deep (Five shots.).

You grin as the next round starts, and Teel smiles.

"I propose we move to deeper stakes." he says smoothly, having drunk a few stiens, "Clothes."

>Nope. (deny stakes)
>Nope nope nope. (Deny playing further)
>Two guys here, I'm gonna see one of them naked.
> writein

>>29841230
>Two guys here, I'm gonna see one of them naked.
Teel, we're coming for dat dragon booty

>>29841230
>>Two guys here, I'm gonna see one of them naked.

>>29841230
We're going to get teleported to the prince naked if we go through with this, I just know it.

>>29841230
>Two guys here, I'm gonna see one of them naked.

>>29841230
>>Two guys here, I'm gonna see one of them naked.
"A bold move from the Eastern Dra. Is that how you like to play all your games over there?"

>>29841230
>Two guys here, I'm gonna see one of them naked.

Also, get a drink, get multiple drinks. We haven't even been forced to drink, and what's the fun in this without some alcohol in you.

>>29841316

"Alright, Teel. You all play like this?"

"Well, not always. Perhaps a few drinks might help."

Oh, you know that. You pick up your untouched stien, and guzzle it in one go, grinning as it smacks the table. And refills.
"That's an awesome table." you say.

"Draws from the stores." Gina says.

"There will be a change to the rules. One reroll, no betting, lowest hand loses a garment." he states.

>Very well. Let's roll, you crazy dragon.
>Writein

>>29841230
It wouldn't be fair to Gina if the only other woman were to bow out, so we'll continue.

>>29841286
I don't think the prince is here.

>>29841268
We were told we should probably consider removing the ring when we were going to be indisposed, so if we end up remembering this and taking the advice to heart, it shouldn't be an issue.

>>29841343
>>Very well. Let's roll, you crazy dragon.

>>29841343
We're in, contingent on >>29841310.

>>29841343
>Very well. Let's roll, you crazy dragon.

Also, keep the ring on, just in case. And make sure we have weapons in arm's reach. I'd rather protect him naked than not be there when he's getting stabbed.

>>29841343
>>Very well. Let's roll, you crazy dragon.
Give him a wink.
>>29841362
I would rather defend the prince while naked and drunk than let him fend for himself.

...oh god he and the dra princess are totally fucking right now.

>>29841343
>Very well. Let's roll, you crazy dragon.
don't take off that ring-naked or not he is not dying on our watch

>>29841343
>Very well. Let's roll, you crazy dragon.

>>29841405
>>29841365

"You're on, you crazy dragon!"

You slap the dome before you, letting the bones roll...

If this is just some nail/horn play causing it...

Rolled 5, 5, 2, 3, 1 = 16

>>29841469
For real this time.

>>29841490
Are you drunk, Avaon

>>29841490
Reroll the one. Maybe we'll get something a bit better.

>>29841421
That's fair. It does heat up first as an early warning signal, so even if we aren't wearing it at the time, we should still have a short window to prepare and slip the ring back on.

And god help us if >>29841480 has the right of it.

>>29841490
better than nothing, at least it's a high pair

>>29841490
Retool the 3, 2 and 1

>>29841490
So we got a low straight and a high pair? I suck at cards.

>>29841490

reroll a 5

>>29841490
reroll 1 2 3
we aren't going for a straight, so they don't matter

>>29841490

>>29841519
Straights only count if they span all the available cards/dice. A low straight is 1,2,3,4,5 and a high straight is 2,3,4,5,6.

>>29841490
Reroll 1,2,3. We could ditch a 5 and go for broke, but better to take it slow at the outset.

Rolled 2, 1, 3 = 6

>>29841551
>>29841542
>>29841515
Rerolling.

>>29841490
reroll 1 2 and 3

>>29841533
Wren, do you understand how this game works and if so did you read the part where low hand loses and no one can fold?

>>29841571
Well, that made literally no difference at all.

>>29841571
...serves us right, I guess.

>>29841571
this shit is funny, i say we take off something light.

>>29841586
We dont know what anyone else has.

>>29841571
ah well. hopefully a pair of fives beats someone

>>29841571
Well, ain't that special.

You look down at your hand, then at the others.
"Reveal hands." Karl calls.

Karl has three of a kind ones. Gina has a pair of sixes. It all falls on Teel, who smirks and reveals a high straight.

"Welp." you mumble.

Keep the boots on. People would be disappointed if we got cold feet.

And also if we get called away, footwear is important if we end up needing to fight.

>>29841682
no no no
we make this pun when we're losing by a lot

>>29841649

lolwut makes good point

>>29841675
>>29841664
>>29841661
>>29841649
>>29841631
Off with the boots, you guess. Peeling them off. You don't have really pretty or petite feet, nothing to really say about them as you set them on the table.

And then everyone rolls again.

>>29841631
>>29841649
>>29841661
>>29841664
>>29841675

You people learned nothing from Die Hard.

>>29841716
reroll 2

>>29841716

Reroll 2, 4, 5

>>29841725
I learned that broken glass aint shit if youre die hard enough.

>>29841716
reroll the 2 4 and 5

>>29841716
reroll the 2,4,5

>>29841716
Reroll the two and the 4. We have a solid chance of either three of a kind or two pair, and we'll probably not lose.

>>29841731
why only one die?

>>29841716
reroll 2 and 4

Rolled 6, 4, 6 = 16

>>29841753
>>29841763
>>29841733
Rerollin

>>29841771
Gives us 50% odds of rolling either two pair or three of a kind.

>>29841790
WOOSH

>>29841716
2 and 4

>>29841790
So no mention of four-of-a-kind in the hierarchy means this counts as two pair, both of 6s?

I don't see it being a bad roll either way, just curious.

>>29841790
Sweet.

>>29841790
Well, that's 4 of a kind, unless that's not an accepted value in which case it's still 3 of a kind.

Though if we roll every round it'll take a bit before people are really stripped down.

>>29841819
Go big or go home.
So we upped the bet.

>>29841790
>Four of a kind
I failed to account for this.
Let's say it falls below the straight.
6 of a kind being the best.

You stare at your roll, assured that someone else is stripping now. Gina relaxes with a low straight. Teel reveals a single pair of twos, and Karl, a pair of threes.

Everyone looks to Teel, who grins as he unfastens his armor plate. You've seen it, but Gina unabashadly leers, grinning.
"You must have the ladies all over you at home." she says.

"Nay, I spend most of my time in the castle, sadly."

"Damn. Girls be missin' out."

>Something to say before you roll?

>>29841842
I thought there was no bet upping for this round.

>>29841853
agree with Gina, then propose we double the odds

>>29841853
lets make it two pieces of clothing.

>>29841853
"I'm almost thankful the Prince gets 'out and about' as much as he does, now."

>>29841873
I'm liking this.

>>29841853
"Score another one for the ladies in the castle, then."

>>29841853
voice our agreement, then bump the odds up to two bits of clothing per roll

>>29841853
seconding >>29841873

>>29841853
Leer at him as well. Ogle him even.

"And I'm sure the ladies in the castle are quite grateful for that.

How about we double the odds?"

Rolled 3, 1, 3, 3, 3 = 13

>>29841853
"I agree with Gina. But at least the help has extra pay~" you say, sipping your drink. "Hey. Anyone object to two items?"

"Two?" Karl laughs. "Sure."

Gina nods, and Teel grins.

You all roll.

>>29841885
This.

>>29841926
reroll that 1

>>29841926
reroll the 1

>>29841926
What the fucking fuck

/tg/ dice
they're sentient

>>29841926
Well, reroll the 1. Keep that beautiful mess of threes.
