"We have a fucking problem." Gon says, recovering from his sprint rapidly as Rikard emerges from the church. "Someone has infiltrated the castle, and taken the prince and princess captive." he says, "The drinks were spiked, but the poison didn't stick, thanks to Karl. Fuckers were dressed up as the help."

You remember blithely that you didn't drink. But near everyone else did. "They're being held in the basement. It's all we can fucking do to keep the King from charging down there himself, and we've no idea what sort of traps they've placed."

Rikard frowns.
"You're already twice-blessed, Annelin. There's not much I can do here."

Gon snorts.
"Like it or not, I need your help. Unless the Prince or milady gets right clever..."

"Wait. They kidnapped royalty and instead of running away with their prize, they barricaded themselves inside the basement?"

Gon grins.
"Kinda hard to get away when the help barricades almost every way out. Hand it to William, he trained those serving folk well." he says.

"Right..." you nod, then gesture to head back. "What about the capturers?"

"They're all c... They're all nonhumans." he says. "I think one's an Ogre. The rest seem to be demons of some kind, and they're lead by an Appal."

"...You're sure?"

"Pretty sure. Its face and arm were all wrapped up, though, and looked wrong."

"What's your plan?"

"Use shock tactics. Break in the doors, charge them down, free the royals. But with my sword..." you remember the massive thing, easily twice as long as he is tall. "So I'm stuck using this." he holds up a battleaxe, which looks small in his hands.

You reach the castle again. The King is furious, staring down at the entrance to the basement, and Gina is barely holding him back.

You know there's only one way into the basement. It's small and cramped, filled with pillars and very little wide spaces.

William is directing the help around, while Karl is tending to a few injured guards.

Also mention that the Appal might be the one summoning the demons that attacked the castle previously.
>>
>>30193265
You turn to Ja'al, who sighs.
"Can't summon on such short notice. Best I could do is get a Lost ghost-like demon to scout it out." he says with a groan.

"...I could help." Tou says, from the other end of the room. "If... If you can trust me." his long tail curls in the air as he fidgets.

You turn your Eye to look through the stone walls, only to see the iron supports between the walls, and the magic self-repair runes all over the place. You frown, looks like that won't work.

"I am adept at stealth. The... The trust field helps a lot with it." he says. "I could slip in and help, free the two of them. Take off the antimagic choker on the princess." he goes on, still at the other end of the hall. "And I could bring the prince his magical blade, maybe."

"So we got two options." Gon says. "Smash and kill, or sneak and hope." he chuckles. "I don't really care either way. So long as milady's safe."

>>Sneak and Hope (Character Perspective shift)
We should also have Annelin following his progress through the walls if at all possible so we can be ready to smash and kill the moment things go wrong.

This might also be a good idea. Tou could cut the prince somewhere nonvital to summon us.

Maybe he could pretend to be in on the critter alliance and then just straight up throw a knife at the prince?

You are Tou.

Well, more accurately your name is Gallin Gre, the words for "Trust me" in your people's tongue. You're small, barely more than three feet tall. You've a thin coat of fur, catlike ears, and you emenate a magical field that makes people trust you. You're not sure how you feel about this, but it's at least kept you in clothes and off the street.

"Alright. You go on ahead. Be careful."

You nod, looking up at Annelin and the towering Dra. You take a deep breath, tail wrapping about your waist a few times, and slip down into a lowered stance, walking with steady steps.

You slip past the huge main guard - an ogre, easily ten feet tall and hunched in this small space - by distracting him with a small stone. Deep breaths. You slip in deeper.

There's three routes you can take. The most direct sends you through the patrols of three demons, but is the fastest and most direct.

The second is roundabout, and only has you getting detected as a possibility once.

The third is to take to the ceiling and try to avoid notice that way. But you might fall and bring attention to yourself. It's risky.

>No roll needed.

You slip past the other guard on your long route, coming to the prince, princess, and the Appal. It holds a long steel fighting staff, leaning on it with a heavily bandaged hand. One side of its face is also covered, and it hisses continuous commands to its demons almost subvocally.

You slip up behind the prince, noting he has been bound hand and foot. He's unhurt, even the bindings are not all that tight, and there's nothing sharp nearby. Even his mouth has been stuffed with cloth.

To prevent him from biting his tongue or from speaking, you don't know.

You slowly draw your dagger.

The princess has an antimagic choker - a simple device that cuts off magic from entering a magi's body, preventing spell use.

You lean close to the prince, holding the blade in front of his eyes. He nods, closing his eyes hard shut.

You really don't want to do this.

You really, really don't want to do this.
"Sorry." you whisper, pushing the blade into his shoulder.

His ring shines brightly, shimmering through the dark, and he winces as you pull the blade out.

Annelin is beside you...

--- --- ---

And you are pissed as hell.

The Appal is fleeing, putting a few demons between you. He's retrieved an iron rod from his robes, and you recognize it - you wouldn't ever forget it. It's the same one.

You rush down the Appal, spear slamming through the bandaged shoulder and knocking its staff from its hand.

It grins at you, stumbling and holding fast to the rod.

"Annelin Karkinos." it says. "It's time for you to face what you created."

It reaches over, and snaps the Sealed Lord open.


A lance of light slams through the Appal, melting it instantly - and no more lances appear, like before. It suddenly makes sense to you. After all, a Sealed Lord is simply a powerful demon attempting to make itself whole. Once it feeds on enough souls, logically, it would cease eating.

And that's when you realize the whole plan. The whole idea of the Appal. What it wanted to do. It stole the prince to bring you here. It stole the Sealed Lord to use it on itself - And a Lord created from a thousand, a hundred thousand angry Appals, released within the very basement of the human kingdom's central capital castle.

The prince is free, and Tou is working on the Princess.

The soulstone is shaking, the size of your head, glowing brightly.

"Tou! Get the royalty out!" you call, "Tell them a Demon Lord is emerging!"

"But you..."

"I need to handle this. Just get them to safety!"

Tou nods, pulling along the prince, who breaks free and places a hand on your shoulder. For a moment, he says nothing, and your eyes meet. But then, nothing needs to be said - you are his protector, and he is your charge. He smiles, then pats your pauldron, and leaves with Tou.

Only a moment after you're gone does the soulstone shatter, red smoke growing and forming black plates,Tall, taller than you by a head, weilding twin blades. Full armor with red glow shining from the joints, a wordless roar as it fully forms and points its blade at you.

You let loose a scream of anger, closing the distance and rushing him down with a strong stab. It parries it with one sword - but your knee rises into its groin solidly enough to push it back. Granted, it wasn't easy on your knee, but...

You lean away from one blow and block the next, falling into the steady dance of attacking and avoiding. He is fast - inhumanly fast - but you can keep up. Thrills run through your body as the demon lunges closer and closer with each blow, roaring its displeasure in your livelihood and screaming for your blood with every moment.

You pull away just barely and circle one another. You didn't get much info from that exchange, and only scored a single hit...

You leap back, allowing him to approach, watching him. In your mind's eye, you can see the arcing blows, the graceful, angry motions. So much fury...

You can see only a few avenues to end this - you could purposefully shatter the armor or his weapons with your spear. You could attempt to strike at his center, impaling him and inhibiting his movements. Finally, you could trip him, and gain an advantage that way...

You sigh as the blade sears rather close to your face. You have to decide!

You watch his movements, blades arcing through the air, and step in.

/Now/.

Your spear rises, slamming into his side as magical power rises from the air and into the tiniest imperfections in his armor - splitting them, cracking them... Breaking them. You leap away as his armor shatters, coal-black skin exposed. Strong, masculine, firm, and powerful, the demon rears up and casts aside his helmet. A young man, handsome even, though his face is a mask of fury, leaps at you, and you leap to one side - but you aren't fast enough. Red energy covers the demon that you didn't expect, and his speed increases dramatically. His sword slices into your arm, then...

Through.

The pain doesn't even register, for now, only the horror of your shield clanging to the ground while you still stand.

"ANNELIN!" roars a voice from upstairs, and a huge red form slams into the dark one, wrestling it to the ground as you cradle your stump. The pain strikes, a sea of red as you gasp for air. Gon rolls the demon so its back is to you, allowing it to pin him - and, if you can gather yourself, a single strike.

You pick up your spear, and lunge one last time, groaning as you hear, not see, the head roll. You slump to your knees, panting.

"N...Not as... armless as you thought, right, Gon?" you manage a sick smile as you mumble about the pain and fall over.

... ... ...

You awaken in the medical wing, blinking awake. You don't know what time it is, or what day it is. All you know is that the Prince is asleep on the side of your bed, and his hair's a mess. You lift up your shield arm, looking at the missing half of it - the wound is sealed, but theres a strange, red, angry pattern where the skin has healed over the seperation. You frown, looking it over.

Karl looks over at you, face written with regret and shame, then leaves the room after slamming his fist against the doorframe so hard you hear it crack.

Ruffle Micheal's hair with our working hand. When he gets up ask if he's alright.

>>30197900
I think we can still walk, though I'm not sure. And we should ask why Karl can't fix this one, there might be some weird magic going on.

also i fucking calld it that there was something about the sword wish i was wrong
>>
>>30197941
I seem to recall something about demon wounds being cursed and not healing, even with magic.

I don't think we're getting that arm back.
>>
>>30198055
Maybe we can get a magic hand! Some sorta prosthetic! Or maybe a telekinetic type thing!
>>
>>30198073
Maybe, so overcome by our sorrow at being unable to continue guiding and teaching Michael, we kill ourselves! And come back as a demon devoted to protecting the royal family!

You gently ruffle his hair with your good hand, and he wakes up, then launches into a hug with you. You don't know how long it's been, but you hold him in return as best you can.

"You alright?"

"I... I, what... Annelin, you..."

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." he says softly. "I just... Annelin, you didn't need to... to do such things." he says quietly. "I know I'm important, but... your arm, you..." he looks on the verge of tears. "You don't deserve this..."

"So long as you're okay."

Emotion wars across the prince's face, as he looks up at you.
"I just... I don't want you to leave."

"She won't have to." the King states.

>Are you serious?

>>30197816
Fucking hell, the wound is Hexed. Time to get a prosthesis. Or find out if a hexed wound can be reversed in some way. I'm sure the old guard had to deal with hexed wounds too.

Ask Karl for a pint of whiskey, a needle, and some boiled horsehair.

>Sire, I admit that I would like to continue working, but...

Whiskey, a needle, and glue won't get us very far with nothing to attach.
>>
>>30198198
for what purpous?

>>30198162
I propose 'demon magic bullshit' as the reason why not.

It'll probably heal us up to the original wound.

"Sire, I admit that I would like to continue working, but...How am I supposed to guard him like this?"

The old man grins.
"It'll take some time to develop the prosthesis." he says, "But you didn't just save my boy. Something like that, if it had gotten to the help, would have been a match for me, Gina, and Gon together. You struck it when it was weakest, took a deathly blow, and saved at least ten or twenty lives." he nods solumnly.

"It is my great honor to name you Dame Annelin Karkinos, and grant you a small holding south of the capital. There is no manor there yet, but we will build one to your specifications when you like."

You hold up your arm and he nods.
"We will pay for that." he says, lifting his arm and pulling back his sleeve. A whole arm of silver with inlaid gold designs shimmers in the light. "Fear not. We will ask you about decoration. In the meantime, Karl is standing in your stead. You are on break for the next few days."

The prince looks at the ground.

"Boy." he says, a hand on his son's shoulder. "Get used to this. People die for you and your ideals. They offer their bodies to the pedestal of your life. Do not grieve for what could have been done. Instead, make those sacrifices worth making, and show the people that they are in good faith."

The young man nods.

"Goodbye, Dame." he says, walking out of the room. Micheal still looks uncomfortable.

>>30198470
we identified the deamon as WARRIOR LORD - REGAL when we started the fight, its a deamon lord whats to identify

We MUST contact Raeve and offer thanks for warning us.


...Can we do that in dreams?
>>
>>30198522
Raev can't bless us, sadly. So the question is who can? Who is god of magebreaking?
>>
>>30198281
Punch him in the shoulder and say to cheer up, soon you'll be rearmed and back in business!

In the meantime, it's TIME FOR TRAINING, BOY.

I'm guessing Clown? He seems to like breaking things.

>>30198367
"So, have you been practicing your forms? How long as it been anyway?"

"A whole week. Karl's been trying to reverse the hex, but he's tried everything but Law's invocations. He won't even let the priests into his ward."

You wince. "But Ja'al says that it's likely that the hex will only wear off once Law's potions become useless, as he tried one. It... didn't help." he says, looking a little sick.

"Well. Time for a vacation." you slump back.

Micheal smiles and laughs.
"And hey, you're technically nobility now!"

He blinks, as some sort of revelation comes over him. "...Oh."

"I'm the lowest rung, so no favoritism either"

Well technically we kind of have to if Micheal is going to them. We are still his bodyguard, after all.

So he could marry us now. Lovely. I bet the King did that on purpose. Seems like every thread is pushing us closer and closer to hitching up with the prince, regardless of what we do.

You frown.

"No frills or lace or balls or anything like that, damnit."

He smiles.
"No, nothing of the sort. Fancy armor, maybe. Oh, uhm. This..."

He hands over the note and you open it.

'Annelin:

First I must apologize. Things had to happen in the way they happened. I can't be too specific, as you will choose when to open this, but understand that I could not help you - and cannot help you, especially with what you lost. But now that you've some time to yourself, please drop by when you wish. There is something I must impart to you, and a trip you must take.

For the good of the kingdom and the world.

And for the end of Law.'

You fold up the letter in thought as Micheal seems to be a bit giddy and aslo in thought.

>>30200467
"Let me get dressed." you grumble, rising. He nods and leaves the room, while you rub your head with your good hand. It's a bit strange getting dressed one handed, and getting the bra on requires a fancy trick with a bedpost, but you manage.

You walk out, holding a long stick, and send him off to train.

You walk out there, groaning, and sit down on a bench.

"Ah. I see you have awoken."

Sitting directly beside you, in a blue robe, entirely at peace with himself, is DrakTeel.

>>30200848

"So it seems. Congratulations on the wedding and promotion, it suits you."

He smiles.
"My apologies for the wording of the letters." he says, his voice making you remember a long night. "The mail from the capital is inspected, and... well, if I was known to be...."

He silences himself from your glare. "I'm sorry. I acted on impulses I should not have had, and....While I do not regret our time together, I do regret any pain I might have caused."

Evidently that didn't stop you bragging to your brother about it, however.

I'm trying to remember any quest in the history of /tg/ where /tg/ didn't instantly forgive everyone when given the chance.
>>
>>30200963
Forgive. We do not regret it either. But slap him anyway for not telling you he was engaged.
>>
>>30201050
Doesn't change the fact that he was quick to show off to his brother about getting some gullible human ass before his wedding.
>>
>>30200963
>>Forgive
"I'm getting a new arm. What do you think I should have them engrave?"
>>
>>30201062
It's warranted in this case, though. From the very start he said it would probably be nothing more than the occasional one-night stand. We knew going in that it could end at any moment.
>>
>>30201087
Actually, what do you think about engraving the scars from our original onto the new arm? I think it'd make it feel more familiar myself.
>>
>>30200963
Forgive and forget. Whatever man I'm gonna have a silver arm and just killed a sealed lord. This anon isn't super interested in the romantic plots. She has yet to meet Mr. Right.
>>
>>30201090
Perhaps, he still acted like a bit of a dick though.

Sadly /tg/ isn't willing to make people work for their forgiveness, or to call them out on their dickery.
>>
>>30201142
Unless I misread, he wasn't engaged until after he went back home, but seeing as their courtship takers forever, that probably isn't right.

So I take back at least some of what I said, him not telling us about his fiance was kind of a dick move and he should do something to make it up to us. We can't be TOO mad at him, but it was rude all the same.
>>
>>30201212
Basically, yeah, I'm not saying we shouldn't forgive him, but I'd like him to sweat for it a little first.
>>
>>30201212
He told us he'd been in a standard Dra relationship for a long time...I doubt they have an engagement period, just courtship and marriage.
>>
>>30201299
from what I gathered, their relationships seemed to be long drawn out loveless things, who knows, we can still be his mistress

Eh, I'll pass, Teel had his time.

"You should have told me you were engaged." you say, directing Micheal.

"Indeed I should have. I forget the difference between human and dra engagements..." he sighs heavily. "And my brother. I apologize even more for him." he looks up at the sky as the prince almost falls on his face. "How may I make it up to you?"

Well, you were willing to forgive him, but...

"You wouldn't happen to know of a way to regenerate an arm, would you?"

>>
>>30201488
"Bah, it's done. Besides, you're brother is a competent professional when it counts. I'll get around to smacking some sense into him eventually."
>>
>>30201530
We're getting a replacement, and it's kinda cursed so it won't heal.
>>
>>30201530
Dude, regenerating the arm isn't the problem. Excising the hex preventing regeneration is.
>>
>>30201488
Help us with finishing the investigation. Someone must have been helping Worm Wood for them to have gotten into the castle so easily. We need to find out who it was.
>>
>>30201530
asking him if he knows how to get rid of the hex would be better

>>30201488
"You wouldn't happen to know of a way to get rid of the hex on my arm, would you?"

>>30201625
fair enough
>>
>>30201488
"Be a friend to the Prince, to this kingdom. We all need it"
>>
>>30201702
"Any way you could help get rid of this?" you point the stump at him, and he shakes his head.

"Nay."

"Then just... Be friends with Mike and the Empire, if you can."

He nods as Micheal finishes his spar.
"That's that, then? Never again?"

"So!" Micheal says, approaching. The two of you had been whispering and you damn near leap out of your skin, making the young man chuckle. "Teel, you feel about a spar?"

He raises an eyebrow.
"Really now?"

"He's wanted to since before the attack." you admit. He rises.

"Well, then." he says, whipping off his robe in one motion, standing in more ornate armor than before.

--- --- ---

You are now Micheal.

You're a little high on life, admittedly. Things went to hell, and then they were tense, and now they're happier than ever. You've been working hard, and you want to show that to everyone!

"So, boy." Teel says, stepping forward. "Practice equipment, or no equipment?"

"Practice gear." you say, confident, as Teel grabs a shortsword. He notes your own choice of weapon, smirking. "My, my. An admirer of my form?"

"Nope. Just feels... right."

"Good." he slips in low, and Annelin leans in to watch.

Yep

You slip away from each attack in turn, one after another whiffing past again and again. You wait for the right moment, and...

It doesn't come.

"Wh-" you barely manage half a word before Teel's foot lashes out, taking your feet from under you. Just like that, you're on your back, looking up at him as he points his blade at you. On your back before Teel...

Heh. Maybe once upon a time this would've been something to think upon, but now, you swat away his weapon while rising, grasping his arm and swinging with your weapon - which skitters over his ornate armor. Then his hand slaps on your back, pushing you down face-first.

"Come on, boy." he growls.

You leap to your feet, leaping into his range up close. The shock in his eyes at your speed is your advantage, and you push your weapon against his neck, making him stumble back - a moment you capitalize, putting your foot behind his and making him fall. You follow him, seating yourself on his waist with a grin.

"Victory." you say, and he nods. You look up at Annelin, who is flushed, and she looks away when you notice her intent stare.

>Writein.
>>
>>30203274
2 is a normal crit. It's effectively 3x the chance to crit. Critfails are not a thing, remember? Rolling a 1 is just a really low roll.
>>
>>30203368
Help Teel up.

"Good match."
>>
>>30203374
>>30203298
I forget that critfails arent a thing.

>>30203368
Try not to blush too much in response to Annelin blushing.

Stand up, and give Teel a hand up. Thank him for a good match.

Ask them both what we still need to improve on.
>>
>>30203368
maybe afterwards, ask why she looks away from us?
>>
>>30203368
I must say I'm not very impressed with Teel, every time we've sparred with him he's been fairly easily taken down.

"Were you holding back?"
>>
>>30203461
>every time we've sparred with him he's been fairly easily taken down.
Both times you got a crit. Both times you should have lost.
>>
>>30203455
Ummm. I would rather have Michael not be so naive.

>Realize that Annelin was thinking about you and Teel together.
>>
>>30203461
His brother did say he was more of a scholar than a fighter. I get the impression that he is formally schooled in the art of war, but has had little time to hone a real fighter's instinct. He doesn't seem to be very good at thinking on his feet and gets surprised by blitz tactics.
>>30203494
Or we are just really fucking lucky. However you wanna look at it.
>>
>>30203494
Oh I see. Let's thank Lady Luck then.
>>
>>30203494
Oh, we'll now I regret rolling that crit. I was actually looking forward to Michael realizing just how great a skill gap he has to cross. I hope he doesn't get too cocky now.
>>
You help him up and smile at Annelin, who was decidedly thinking rather impure thoughts. It takes a moment for him to calm down, and you shake Teel's hand, who takes it gracefully.

"Ah, well. I was always more of a scholar."

"So Gon was right?" you ask.

"After a fashion." Teel says, "I've always been compared more to the scholars of my time than to the warriors. My brother is very much my opposite." he leans back. "You've a ways to go still, however, Micheal."

You nod, and he talks on to you about various techniques you should use in the future. You listen intently, sitting across from him...

--- --- ---

If there's anything you missed, it's just listening to Teel speak. It almost puts you to sleep, and puts you at ease. Makes you think of him and Micheal, with his gentler voice...

Ack! No! Don't think on such lewd things!

You shake your head and get up, casting about. You want to leave and do something else...

You decide to go see Karl, who has seen better days.

"Karl?"

His head snaps up, then looks away. "Karl, are you okay?"

"I'm sorry."

"Karl, come on. There's no need to be so... mopey." you frown. "I am getting a new hand."

He runs his fingers through his hair.
"I... Yeah." he says, taking deep breaths.

"Did you do anything while I was out?"

"...I found out I am terrible at dating."

>Try not to laugh.

>>30203898
"Ouch. Wanna talk about it?"
>>
>>30203898
>Try not to laugh.
>Ask what went wrong.
"Did you find another Humanity-Sworn?"

Ohhh, we could tell him he must've at least had a better date than Ja'al's, considering he didn't get arrested.
>>
>>30203914
>Use the Wife Incident to guilt Teel into it
>Tousle Micheal's hair until he gives in
>implying Karl needs a reason to flex
It could work.

More seriously, I wouldn't mind some more one on one time with Mikey. We've spent most our days with him unconscious.
>>
>>30203898
Wait, regarding >>30203494, does that mean Teel could have taken the Demon without serious injury? Because I'm reding that as our display of martial prowess was truly a demonstration of foolhardy grit without skill worth acknowledging.
>>
>>30203961
Ok I've got a new game plan.
First a massage from Teel, while Michael feeds us grapes and stuff, and Karl flexes.

Then we rotate them, have Karl massage, Teel feed, Michael flex, repeat this until each one has had a turn doing one thing.

Then maybe have sex with Karl, we've been blue-balling this guy for a while now. He deserves at least a single one time shag.
>>
>>30203938
>>30203948
>>30203916

You resist laughing in his face, then sit down across from him.
"What went wrong?"

He goes into a tale of finding a girl and going out - but he notices a good half of the way through the date there's something else on his mind the entire time.
"I was just... distracted. I couldn't focus. It certainly doesn't help who my mind was on, and..." he flushes, "And I already asked her, sort of, and... I don't know. I get the feeling there's not much to me."

Yeah, Avalon might wanna wrap up soon. The late night lolrandumbs seem to be in full force tonight.

"...I'm a little busy tonight. But tomorrow... Yeah, alright. Why not?" you say, smiling. He nods, making his way out in a hurry. You slump in the chair he'd been occupying.

A month. If that. A month, maybe less, and three fantastic men are at your heels, one royalty, one married, one maybe ten times your age or more.

"Mother did always say I got in over my head..." you grumble.

We haven't seen Michael's yet. For all we know he's hiding a Sealed Lord in those gilded pantaloons.

Once again LOL, ORGIES =/= flirty, seductive, or fun. Especially when the guy just poured his heart out to you.
>>
>>30204585
Yeah, but it's also social management - team building and ally gathering. It's counterproductive to our roll to screw up our friendships and end up without backup or a good healer when we need one.
>>
>>30204602
>>30204626
The internet is full of faggotry my friend, you're even displaying some of it with your aggressive tone.

As for the lol orgies, I didn't suggest it to be an orgy. It was simply a massage involving everyone, nothing sexual about it, until someone FTFY to me and it was funny. Also it was suggested before he begged us for a date, so yeah.
>>
>>30204598
Not without taking some injury, no.

You made the right choice in fighting it. Had you run away, you'd have to deal with it with help. You made the right choice for breaking its armor.

But you didn't gain enough successes overall to avoid it when it returned the attack.
>>
>>30204679
So what exactly was Law hoping to happen?

I don't see how that Sealed Lord killing everyone would help his plans.
>>
>>30204729
It would take out the prince and the dra princess, but not the king, leaving the Empire in a very advantageous position and allowing the king to place his ideological heir on the throne instead of his biological one.
>>
>>30204679
Are Mike, Teel, or Karl ok with harem ending?
>>
>>30204729
>So what exactly was Law hoping to happen?

Law was hoping that anti-critter sentiment would rise from the assault done by mainly critters. In his preferred outcome, you dismiss Tou, making him more likely to assist the rebels by spiking Gon's drink much harder.

The people would explode on the Dra and Tou kingdoms for assisting in the percieved assault on the Prince and King whether they emerge safely or not.

And so Law would be forcibly spread to two more nations.
>>
>>30204679
So it went pretty damn well for us all in all.

Ja'al must have his hands full dealing with all the demons we've killed. I wonder if he was able to recover any Appal demons, because I really want Annelin to be able to tell them she's sorry. I suppose Demons have trouble accepting that though so it'd have to be after they're cleansed, but... when that happens don't they move on pretty much immediately?

Man. This makes me tear up a little. All those childhood friends trying to kill her, and she can't even tell them how sorry she is.
>>
>>30204789
Wait, Tou spiked the drinks?
>>
>>30204789
So what happened to Worm Wood?

Did Regal eat her soul completely, or is she gonna come back in a decade or two as a demon in her own right?
>>
>>30204831
I think he didn't, and thus the rebels fucked up spiking Gon's drink.
>>
>>30204831
Too bad we don't know that in character. Guess, Law only got half what he wanted.
>>
>>30204867
law didnt get anything he wanted, tou is a bro for saving the prince and princess by hurting the prince enough to pull us in while we fought the appal he got them out. the deamon was killed with help from gon so law didnt get shit but our arm

I'm surprised that isn't a faux pas amongst his race.

Stroking and petting from the larger races is pretty much seen as commonplace for Tou. They know how enticing it is and stopped caring a while ago.
>>
>>30205499
Yeah we need to do that.

It seems like he might be slightly receptive to the idea, unless it's more that Teel is just that manly.
>>
>>30205516
Oh good, so it's not something only humans do.

Also one thing I was wondering is it seems like you based Ja'al's race after that one image you always post (unless that was instead actually commissioned for you), do you have sort of inspiration pics for the other critters as well?

It's hard for me to really picture what an Appal looks like.
>>
>>30205516
does it feel good for them, how good on a scale from that warm feeling you get from holding hands with senpai~ to handjob that destroys all resistance because its just so good to be scratched.

>lustip having
capcha knows

>>30205563
i imagin its like appals are kobolds with furr instead of scales, the cats are like puss in boots, and alvins are cute people that stay young looking and have wings and are realy light, dra are dragon people and ogres are big fuckers that will mess you up but arent barbaric savages most of the time. and there were more hes holding out on

It ranges from "I don't mind" to a race-specific fetish.
>>
>>30206159
>race-specific fetish.
>race-specific
Nigga pls, even humans can have a headpats/hair tousling fetish. Cat hobbits probably get more out of it, though.
>>
>>30206159
so average reaction is "oh yes right there don't stop~"

where is Tao on that scale
>>
>>30206233
there are probably wanted ads on notice board that say "looking for ogre/human/dra willing to stroke my fur, pet my head, scratch behind my ears and tell me im a good kitty. will pay in cash, price negotiable"

While every opther god gave their races ways to compete, Coyo gave his (Ogres) enourmous strength and a lack of memory to be able to cope with what he percieved to be a terrible world.

So they are probably not someone you want to actually hire.
>>
>>30206480
Pretty damn dark Coyo.
>>
>>30206480
what was an ogre doing helping the appal kidnap the royals in the basement?
>>
>>30206647
Trying to get to the kitchen
>>
>>30206647
"Well these guys say they'll give me free food if I just stand here."

"Well it looks like I should be standing here.

"Why am I standing here? Oh, I guess I'm a guard."

and so on.
>>
>>30206723
so we could have said "hey pall, good to see you hard at work protecting my things that i hired you to guard, can you let me past pal?

poor ogres its just like momento for all of them

Some are more 'there' than others, but most of them are nomadic because they can't remember where 'home' is.

>>30206890
Coyo wasn't being dickish - the Ogres are universally regarded as the happiest of all races.
>>

>>
>>30206926
