I appreciate you running early.

>It's a list of all the most famous and powerful swordsmen in the world, and their patrons. That's kinda cool, you guess. Wait, what??! You are listed at the bottom, the 100th most powerful swordsman in the world.

Are we going to find ourselves a master? If so, we shouldn't settle for anyone but the best!

Damn. I knew I forgot something.
Gonna fix it later. Not now though.
>>31998372
Thanks.

Holy shit. I just saw that we have 364,385 gold. So... should we go shopping when we get home or something?

>>31998126
Are there only 3 altars?
If so:
>Rush the third altar.

>>31998429
I think there's only three light altars.

>>31998126
>>Rush the third altar

>>31998439
Cool. Let's finish this quest chain then.

>>31998126
Too cute.

So are our realms linked?

Like can we leave the library through a door or ladder or whatever and go to the other watery cavish realm?

>>31998563

>Your patron is listed as 'Herself.' Which is rare. Jeez, that's kinda embarrassing.
is as cool as damp caves Shax. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

>>31998422
We should probably just go independent and make a living as mercenaries for hire.

>>31998323
That looks great anon.

You put a finger on your chin, "Hey guys, I hate to be selfish, but do you think we can rush to that third altar? I know you probably all want to go home, and I don't wanna hang around on this continent much longer either, but I think I oughta really finish this up if at all possible, you know?" It isn't very boss like for you to ask like this, but you wanna make sure these guys are in it for the long haul.

Bearbreath waves a paw in front of his mouth as he yawns, shaking his head before respondingly lazily, "Sure thing, boss. I was just here 'cause you wanted to come here anyway." Well, at least the most important one is on board with it.

Elbowing you jokingly, Sitri says, "You know I'm just here cause you're too entertaining, right?" Allonces makes an noise of agreement as she hugs you from behind. Brokagh just winks and gives you a thumbs up, and Fetidclaw shrugs. You're clearly the most inspiring leader around.

You're out the door in the next few moments, telling your friends about your new elemental jam. Out of the corner of your eye, you see several stone lizard servants waving good bye from the shadows of the small temple. Guess they're the guardians this time.

The altar is about four days away. The landscape here is schizophrenic at best, a mishmash of jungles, swamps, deserts, and you're really getting sick of this place. The caves of your realm have only made you more homesick than you were before. Still, it is almost all over, you suppose!

>Charge straight at the Altar. No time for lollygagging.
>Maybe there is some time for lollygagging. See if there is anything interesting on the way.

>>31998629
But being a mercenary is boring.

If we're going to go independent I want to do something less overdone than being a mercenary.

>>31998643
>Maybe there is some time for lollygagging. See if there is anything interesting on the way.
ADVENTURE!

>>31998643
>Charge straight at the Altar. No time for lollygagging.

>>31998643
>Lollygagging only if our team wants to investigate something. If they're going along with this, we should at least try to let them have some fun along the way.

>>31998629
We just finished a quest for one of the two leaders of this entire war effort, when we get back we are going to be a big dick G.
>>31998643
>Charge straight at the Altar. No time for lollygagging.
Fuck jungles and fuck swamps.

>>31998643
>Charge straight at the Altar. No time for lollygagging.
This place sucks!

By the way, Shax made Fetidclaw put on a shirt, right?

>>31998643
>Allonces makes an noise of agreement as she hugs you from behind
cut her in half. perfect chance. we can blame it on reflexes since she aproached from behind.

>>31998643
>>Charge straight at the Altar. No time for lollygagging

>>31998643
>lollygagging
>we are the goblin loli
I-i am scared.

>Charge straight at the Altar. No time for lollygagging.

Also, let's summon lizard servants. They are not like turtles right? They will stay with us?

>>31998577
So we pretty much have our own little demiplane that gets larger the more altars we get?

And also gives us superpowers.

>>31998703
We need to overthrow the Fouldrinker clan when we get back.

We're obviously better Goblin Chief material.

If we take out Chief Fouldrinker will OP have to change his name?

>>31998723
>cut her in half
>right after she became useful
Yeah good idea anon.

>>31998795

yes

Alright! Writing.

>>31998813
Does First we Gonna ROCK basically let us do the stinger?

>>31998793
Seems pretty right.

We should get more shit in there.

>>31998780
>Summon Stone Lizard Servant! These thin stone servants are excellent scouts and information gatherers. Maybe you can even figure out how to make them assassins? They're super quiet.
Doesn't anyone want servants?

>>31998891
There's no reason to summon them right now.

>>31998891
Them pearls are a hot commodity

>>31998891
We can do that after we get some more pearls.

>>31998891
I prefer turtle mounted mobile artillery.

Plus turtles are just plain cooler.

And Crystal is cooler than Stone.

>>31998964
The turtles are artillery now.

>>31998964
Turtles can not leave where they are summoned.

>>31998935
>>31998910
If we are going to get them anyways, the sooner the better.

>>31998964
Maybe third shrine upgrades lizards to stone Gargoyles or Dragons. Then we could have our air squadron after all!

>>31998989
They're the kind that needs direct line of sight to do damage though.

>>31999000
We're gonna fix that and have a permanent retinue of Crystal turtles.

>>31999000
We don't need them now and we might as well save that last pearl in case we need to hit something hard. We will probably get more pearls during the trip home.

We should ask the Dragon Lady or the Drow Lady if there's any Altars they know of that we could conquer.

Or any they have that they don't want.

>>31999097
We should have 2 pearls if i remember correct.

>>31999097
We should have 2 now since the extra one.

just sayin.

>>31999119
Altars are specific to this horrible continent, I believe.

>>31999124
>>31999143
Ah I forgot about that.

>>31999148
Nope.

It's just that most of the ones one the other continent are taken.

Since there's an invading army there should be quite a few dangling around.

They're probably prime targets for our army too.

>>31999119
>Or any they have that they don't want.
Are you serious?

A large tower is on the distance, drawing your gaze. Maybe it is filled with- a mosquito bites your neck and you slap it, pulling away you see a giant snake begin eating a small mammal of some kind that was eating the eggs of some sorta large flightless bird. Yeah, no, we're getting off this entire freaking continent. You tell Brokagh and Fetid to book it.

You make quick time, and before too long you see a large village where the altar is supposed to be at. Weird, the map made this place look pretty empty. Brokagh comes sneaking back to where the party is holding. "Place is filled with weird vine looking guys. I think they're magical familiars like those turtles of yours."

"Lizards, too."

"Sure, whatever, boss. The point is, they're building something down there. More than just a village. I didn't even want to risk taking one out and getting closer in case their brains were, like, linked or something. I don't think that altar is unseated, Shax." Brokagh has a pretty serious look on his face.

Fetid comes back, a vine person slung over her shoulder. She throws it onto the ground with a disgusted look on her face. "Took one down. It seems to be part plant, part earth. I don't see anything that really says 'light' to me, do you?" Apparently light means moss and crystals, so you don't know really.

>Investigate closer. Send in Brokagh and crew to get more information.
>Have Sitri go undercover as a traveling bard to check it out.
>A town means you can raid it. And we're raiders!

>>31999201
Ones a dragon and ones drow.

I may not be their thing.

Or it may be a reward for us.

Or it may be a mission to go take one of the enemies' altars.

Doesn't hurt to ask.

RAID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But seriously these guys don't seem like they can be diplomancied

>>31999212
Maybe this altar has something to do with photosynthesis.

Anyway
>A town means you can raid it. And we're raiders!
I don't think a bunch of guardians are going to take a bard's time of day and we can get all the info we need after we sac the place.

>>31999212
>Have Sitri go undercover as a traveling bard to check it out.
You need at least 10 people in a proper raid, Shax

>>31999212
>A town means you can raid it. And we're raiders!

>>31999246
Not-Australia sucks.

>>31999212

Yeah, undercover stuff!

>>31999212
>>A town means you can raid it. And we're raiders!
Duh. Let's not start talking to the people we're gonna kill. We're taking that altar.

>>31999212
>A town means you can raid it. And we're raiders!

>>31999212
>>A town means you can raid it. And we're raiders!
If someone sits on it we just need to make him stand up long enough to sit right?
Have everyone distract them and sneak in to the throne and sit on it.

>>31999269
No you don't

we've done it with like 5.

infact we rarely have 10, very rarely.

Writing.

Shax will never become a drummer at this rate, guys.

Once we get back to the plains, can we summon up a gigantic crystal cove? Fuck subtlety, we need a cool evil base like any self respecting boss. Every month summon just a few more turtles. Shax is dissatisfied with raiding, so why not try for a little role reversal?

>>31999433
Why would we want to be a drummer?

>>31999436
So, what color should the crystals be?

>>31999436
It'll naturally happen over time.

We adapt the world to us.

Also Shax is pretty satisfied with raiding.

>>31999433
We're a tambourine girl.

Much better than drummer since you get to dance while playing.

>>31999433
The town is full of people made of vines and earth. They don't sound like the music appreciating type.
>>31999457
I agree we should learn the harmonica.
>>31999436
We have to see what they did with the base at home first.

>>31999474
She was getting real bored and disillusioned with her job before she got called back by the Dragon Lady.

>>31999474
>>31999436
>>31999392
After we get the Third Altar how fast will we adapt the world to us?

Like a decent base in a week?

Also will we be able to shut it off if we ever need to/it's at so high a rate that it is annoying.

>>31999467
Changing colours on every floor. Scrub level at the bottom is green. Fish guy level is blue. Gnoll level is res. Shax level is clear crystal. With a pool.

>>31999603
>>Improvised Dual Wield
>I'd prefer Soft Shell Soft Belly or any of the turtle skills.
But we JUST got a second weapon.

We need to use that thing.

If you had sleeves, you'd roll them up. It's time for a raid! "Alright boys, the ways I see it, they've made themselves a cozy little town, right?" Allonces nods, Bearbreath yawns, Brokagh sorta stares off into the distance. Good, you have their attention. "And what are we good at?"

"Singing?" "Handstands." "I have a collection of whittled statuettes I'm very proud of." "Ooh! Hairstyles. You should let me do your hair and makeup one day, Shax." "Cooking." Oh, so when it is about them they speak up.

"Yes. Also raiding. We're raiders, remember?! So let's raid this stupid town!" You stomp down on the vine person's head for emphasis. It crunches oddly. You look down to see a skull set in there, entwined with vines. More freakin' necromancy I mean really? You quickly disassemble the vine guy to see it is mostly skeleton, covered in plants and rocks. Well, shouldn't be a problem.

You charge in with your minions, meeting little resistance. There are a bunch of skeletons, but they aren't really combatants, so cutting through them is easy. Seems like they were mostly there for manual labor. Smashing your way through the town, you notice that most of the buildings were half-finished or didn't make much sense. Someone oughta oversee these plant monsters a little more efficiently. They suck at building things.

Before too long, you're in the center of town. It's a large stone building. "Must be where the Altar is," someone says, with complete control over observing the obvious. Occassionally a band of plant covered skeletons will assault you, and be driven away easily.

"So how do you want to get into this thing, it seems sealed. I'm sure actual altar guardians are in there, as well." There are gates that seem covered in boulders.

>>31999749
So who's gonna make the nice version of the secondary abilities?

And someone should post the nice scroll like version.

Maybe chief should make it part of his opening posts.

>>31999802
Improvised Dual Wield is for wielding improvised weapons like bones and shit, not for dual wielding two weapons.

It isn't going to improve dual wielding the tetsubo.

>>31999830

They look super cool but are really hard to read. Otherwise I'd use them!

Anyway, smashing and walking in like it ain't no thang seems to be the consensus.

>>31999819
>Shax & Mom
It's a Family business, eh? I can get behind that!

>>31999842
But when you think about it the tetsubo is just like a bone or a stick.

It's just a metal club.

>>31999876
The point is, it is not though. It is a giant weapon. It is not something you improvise as a secondary weapon. It is a weapon by itself and a giant one at that. That ability will not make us dualwield it.

>>31999919
We could dual wield it right now.

That's what Monkey Grip allowed us to do.

This'll just let us use it better.

>>31999643
>just knock and ask if anyone is home
When they don't answer then bash the door down
Or we could drink from our illusion cup and see What happens

You glance at the door for a moment, before pulling back for a massive overhead swing, crashing through the door easily. Making sure to wipe the mud off your shoes as you walk in, you call out, "Hey, I'm Shax. Anyone home?" with your sword over the shoulder. It's very dark in here, but it isn't like that's ever stopped your eyes. There are several shapes waiting around in the darkness. One looks like a horse person, and several goat ladies like Sitri are hanging around. You're not sure if they know you can see them, and as you get near the throne they charge you.

The goat ladies all have ceremonial daggers, and they're screaming in some weird language as they rush you, and you barely get the sword up in time to catch them. Jeez, they're fast. "On your right!" You hear Brokagh snarl and see a centaur swinging an axe at you, hitting you on your shoulder and leaving a nasty wound. Ow! A feathered arrow slides into his head from the side, and the charging horse man slides past you, making a horrible screaming sound. One of the satyxis ladies has grey hair, and starts chanting. Vines pick up a mammoth skull and start growing an elephant body. Oh, jeez.

Allonces and Brokagh are each in a two on one fight, and Fetid is just trying to stay back, letting loose arrows when he can. The flesh of the dead centaur seems to melt away as vines work its way around the fallen body, and it gets back up, knocking back a crude arrow from a suddenly formed plant-like bow. This is gonna be annoying.

>What's the plan, boss?

>Seriously. Let's go prompt-lite for a second!

>>32000056
Get that fucking plant centaur, motherfucker will start tying down our dudes.

>>32000056
Charge in and smash the grandma sitri if we take her out maybe all the undead things will fall apart

>>32000056
GEEK THE MAGE!!!!

SUMMON THE TURLTLES!!!!

>>32000056

Get Bearbreath and Allonces to use fire spells on the plant zombies.

>>32000056
>PANIC
>Flail wildly

Oh, and I think setting fire to the place might be the solution here.

>>32000056
Go for the mage, duh.

>>32000056
spin to win through those mages

>>32000056

I think geeking the mage remains a valid strategy here. We don't want this numerical disadvantage getting worse, and since she's summoning, she's vulnerable right now.

Charge her in Wary Tortoise Stance; we can move fast while spinning, right? If anything unexpected happens we can counterattack.

>>32000101
>>32000170
Yep, go for the summoner and spin it right round like a spinny thing.

>>32000056
Oh goddamnit it's Asphodel

Alright. Got a good idea of what the general approach is, then.

>>32000415
Here have one.

Sorry about the delay. Cat started coughing a lot. He is totally fine, just a hairball.

Oh jeez its getting cramped in here! You slap two satyxis away with your sword, swinging it back around to cut one in half, and slap another away. Gotta get all these goat ladies off you! Especially that chanting one, that one has to go. "Keep those skeletons away, boys!" You shout, hoping to get a clean spin to the grey haired satyxis.

"Hey, aren't female satyrs supposed to be rare, Sitri?" Allonces says, idly skewering one with her spear.

"Yeah, I'm surprised there are this many here, to be honest. I don't know what's going on... I was sort of a once in a generation sort of deal." Sitri is hacking her way through various skeletal plant guys as she says this, with a look of confusion on her face.

An icy lance cuts through four skeletons scrabbling up at you from the left as you start to build momentum to start spinning at the white haired lady. A few ceremonial daggers come at you, but what you weren't expecting were the blasts of dark magic! One hits you, and you feel suddenly very weak, stumbling a bit and having to catch your breath. Jeez magic is annoying. You ready yourself just in time to see the mammoth rushing a tusk right at you, which you manage to catch on your blade just in time to go flying. Another mammoth forms near the chanting lady. She's gonna be harder to get to! You'll just have to spin in properly.

Brokagh runs in, punching clear through the chest of one satyxis, and doing a spinning kick to send another one flying while you reorient yourself. "You okay, boss?"

"Yeah, sorry. Was just not used to this. We gotta get to that lady before we get overwhelmed," you cough out. Brokagh nods, and Bearbreath's lynx runs up to your side. Time to pierce through their defenses!

>>32000849
Maybe +5?

for a total of 9?

If 3 Stone golems gets us 3 then these guys should get us 5.

With a shout, Brokagh does a flying kick into a reanimated centaur, knocking the top off and mounting the skeletal body from behind. With a grunt, he twists over, tossing the horse to the side into an oncoming crowd. You go spinning through the opening he made, lynx behind you at a safe distance. When a mammoth attempts to intervene, the lynx pounces a leg, tearing at the vines to distract the colossal reanimated beast. You have enough speed to crash through the second mammoth, sending bones flying everywhere as you finally approach the witch causing all this michief.

The white haired satyxis snaps her eyes wide open right as you get to her, attempting to chant a spell of somekind right before you smack the sword into her head. Needless to say, the incantation doesn't finish.

As if someone flipped a switch, the summoned skeletons in the room start milling about aimlessly, only ones touched by the remaining satyxis able to regain their will, but without a concerted wall of bodies, the last few witches go down easily.

After clearing the debris of vines and bones out, you uncover an altar. It has a plate with some lemon cakes on it. You hope they're still clean. You know they aren't. You squint your eyes and take a bite, consciousness blasting away once more.

When you open your eyes there are two people fighting. A strange looking Goat man, more goat than man, whose flesh is melting off is shooting bolts of dark energy at a bird person of some kind.

>>32001280
Haha thats great.

>>32001280
I don't really buy it actually happening but that's amazing.

"Hey!" You shout over the din of sorcerous combat, as the bird person launches several spears of pure sunlight down from the sky. "I'm Shax! The satyr shoots out several obsidian bolts crackling with purple energy at the bird man. "I'm a raid leader, but also I wanna sit on this throne!"

At that, the satyr turns his head to regard you for a moment before being blasted with another solar pillar. With a hissing roar, he turns around, rotting flesh bulging as he begins to change shape. Skeletal wings sprout from his back, and large green vines entertwin a massive draconic body. Oh great, an undead dragon. You heard those were always bad news. A purple mist exits his mouth, and the beast roars as it charges straight toward the bird man.

Jeez, they ignored you completely? "Hey! What are your names, and why are you here?" The bird man, evading the dragon with a quick turn lands near you.

"Oh, hello. I'm Octavian. Nice to meet you." He extends a hand, you shake it quickly, and he flies off, summoning two spinning orbs of pure yellow energy that float about him.

Well, this is kinda boring to watch? You wanna do something about all this. A bumbling old bald person walks over to you, "Oh hello, welcome to the City of the Noon Sun. If you would like to contest for the throne, I'm afraid the current occupent is fighting a contest already. If you'd like to wait, arrangements can be made?"

>Accept the arrangements.

He at least was nice enough to introduce himself. We can fight him afterword if he dosen't want to give up the throne peacefully.

Wait for an opening in their fight and strike.

>>32001476
That is the arrangements.

>>32001486
We don't. We just think that bird guy is more open to giving up his position without a fight compared to the Satyr asshole.

>>32001486
Who said anything about sharing will kill him later as well. He just seems like less of a threat.

>>32001486
We wouldn't share. The birdguy seems alright and that satyrix is probably part of that crappy group we just stomped.

>>32001502
>>32001506
Dude seems evenly matched with corpse boy, why do you think he would be less of a fight.

>>32001406
>>Shax is her own side!

>>32001486
The dude seems nice enough. What's the matter, you want to have all the toys for yourself?

>>32001531
Because corpse boy just turned into a dragon and probably is the one who owns the throne.

>>32001531
I just think he'd be more reasonable.

>>32001547
The bird guy has fucking light powers, he's obviously the owner.

>>32001544
Yes.
>>32001547
He also appears to be getting his ass handed to him.

>>32001406
>>Shax is her own side

>>32001567
So? We just need to convince him to become our subordinate. Do you even Shax?

>>32001596
What are you even talking about?

I was just pointing out your assumption of who owns the throne is very likely incorrect.

>>32001406
>>Siding with birdman

>>32001596
Nah, I'd rather just lightening bolt him and be done with it.

>>32001406

It's pretty clear its the dragon dude, remember the necromancer satysix guarding this place?

Alright! Writing. I gotta cut the thread short after this because I need to run out for a friend, but I'll continue it when I get back. After this update, obviously. Hopefully the thread will still be up?

>>32001406
>>Accept the arrangements.

>>32001624
I'm fine with either siding the the birdman or entering on our own side.

>>32001663
They were invading.

>>32001671
Yeah probably. Which option won, btw?

>>32001697

Arrangements. I'm writing it, and running to try and be fast about it.

>>32001621
I'm not the guy you were responding to.
What I interpreted your post to mean was "He's the owner, no way he's going to give up the powers he has right now willingly."

>>32001663
They could easily be trying to raid the place like we are.

>>32001735
Considering there was a town being built here and these guys hate civilization I'd peg them as raiders.

If they were the actual guardians they wouldn't have built that town.

>>32001693
Not likely, there's no evidence of an attack here. And the plant men seem to have been here for awhile.

The birdman is probably Attacking from another altar

>>32001804
The undead plants were building the town.

>>32001819
>no evidence of an attack here
There was a whole lot of manikins.

Several glowing hawks surround the dragon and begin to peck at him as continuous golden bullets stream out of the orbs on either side of the birdman. Earthen lances fly out from the dragon as he roars, dispersing the hawks with a fetid miasma. You scratch your stomach and yawn quickly. They might be at this for a while. "Sure! What kinda refreshments do you have, Mr...?"

"Head Butler, is the title I go by, aspirant. And the arrangements here are all orange related. I'm sorry, but the master really insists on them as the primary fruit," he mutters with a weird accent as he leads you into a big marble building.

Idly glancing around the place, you say "Sounds like a real weirdo," and grab a chair to sit at a dining table.

"It would be unwise to spread rumors about my weirdo master in such a way." You do not comment. Before too long, he gives you a glance of orange juice with a curly straw in it. How accomadating! "So what brings you to this plane?" You kick your feet under the table and slurp loudly for a second.

"Ah! This is tasty, you know? But yeah, I got the other two light planes and figured I might as well get this one, too." The butler stops, carrying a tray of what you believe is toast and eggs. Sunny side up, obviously.

"What? You've conquered the other two? How did you even find the lost temple of Glare?"

"Some lizard circled it on a map for me."

"That seems too convenient. Are you sure it was a simple lizard?"

"Pretty sure."

"Hm."

"Hey, can I have that toast yet?"

"Oh right, of course. my apologies."

You munch on the toast, happily kicking your feet as the combat outside rumbles, shaking dust from the shelves and making your glass move on the table in a staccato manner. It's tasty.

What I'm saying is there were a whole lot of dead bodies, perhaps as a result of a raid.

Aww, I wanted a Maid.

Well, I guess that can be arranged when we take over.

>>32001873
Both duh

>>32001873

>>32001922
We can always make the summon servants we get a group of maids.

>>32001916
On this continent dead bodies are commonplace and indicate nothing.

>>32001873
>>Ask the butler how he feels about the other servants of light.
"Those other two are having fun bickering with each other back in my place. Isn't it lonely for you here?"
Let's seduce the minion into helping us conquer the throne.

>>32001873
>>Ask the butler how he feels about his master!
>>Ask the butler how he feels about the other servants of light.

>>32001938
>>32001922
Nah, butlers are bro-tier.

Maids are ehh, and Shax is a girl.

>>32001940
It indicates dead people. They have to come from somewhere. Doesn't matter anyway the waiter dude pretty much confirmed it is the bird man. Unless the undead dragon is an eccentric with taste for oranges I suppose.

>>32001970
Goat people would like oranges.

>>32001873

Equal chance of a goat or a bird loving oranges.

>>32002070
Just how? Goats cant jump that well can they? Did they just walk up the tree?
>>32002099
I suppose. Bird guy just seems more the type to have such a rule.

>>32002113
Fucked if I know but they do it enough to have a calendar.
http://www.angusrobertson.com.au/gift/goats-in-trees-2014-wall-calendar/40757388/

>>32002080
Yup. There's a sense of dismissal of what the other anons are saying and you cling on to really flimsy arguments.

Dead bodies do mean something and point to evidence of an attack. But your response to both those points is simply that no there isn't. Trying to say goats probably like oranges doesn't sound very convincing either.

You sound like you got it in your head that it has to be the satyr and that's it.

>>32002156
Fucking Goats how do they work?

>>32002175
>Dead bodies do mean something and point to evidence of an attack.
It's just that there are literally dead bodies Everywhere on this continent.

But ehh i see your point. Not really strong arguments, its more of a disagrement.

And i do accept that it may be the birdman, i would prefer it that way, i just don't think it is.

As fascinating as goats may be, can we just chat with the butler a bit more? Ask him how he gets along with the other two servants of light.

>>32002247
It's the realm of the City of the Noon Sun and the bird guy is shooting spears made of sunlight out of his hands, man.

>>32002276
And he has two orbs of sunlight hovering around him.

>>32002276
I missed that part. So that does point to him.

But the birdman was talking about the champion like it wasn't him.

>>32002315
Plus the light bird summons.

>>32002345
>"Oh, hello. I'm Octavian. Nice to meet you."
Is all he said.

>>32002345
Where did the Bird man mention a champion?

All he did was introduce himself.

>>32002375
oops, i cannot into reading comprehension.

i missed the butlers introduction, i thought the birdman said what the butler said.

>>32002412
Well, I'm glad we could help clear this all up then.

>>32002276
Ok, when Broctavius agrees to join us, because it's what we do, are we gonna kick him off his throne and be a normal bird-man or fight alongside fucking Horus?

>>32002456
I'm pretty sure there can be only one.

>>32002456
That's our throne.

He can either use one of his own or be a normal birdman.

>>32002456
We gotta go for the full set.

>>32002456
Gota collect em all m8

>>32002528
Correct.

>>32002499
>>32002528
>>32002543
>>32002558
I'm glad we're in agreement.

>>32002499
Broctavian should come along nonethless, right?

I wonder how ironic the rest of the gods find an underground dwelling, evil-aligned creature like a Goblin just became a goddess of Light.

>>32002576
Yeah why not? Unless he doesn't give up and we have to kill him I guess.

>>32002566
Meh, we came here for the throne in the first place. If we can recruit Tweety into our menagerie awesome; regardless that throne has our name on it.

>>32002576
If we can convince him. I feel bad we didn't manage to recruit in our stay, but I wouldn't go as far as using a point to convince him to join us.
>>32002583
All part of the plan anon. All part of the plan.

>>32002610
Eh, I'd probably spend the point.

Mostly because we otherwise never will.

>>32002576
If he wants.

He if is especially bro tier we may want to use a character point if he's serving some god or member of the elemental court.

>>32002624
Yeah, he's more worthy than anyone else we've met. At least so far.

>>32002624
True.

>>32002653
Politeness goes along way with Shax it seems.

>>32002653
>>32002624

But muh huge sword rivals...

>>32002610
Sounds like a good idea, as long as we get the alter.

>>32002583
Evil-good. anon. We raid and kill, but are nice about it. We don't particularly wish ill on others either. And sure our Mom is going to flood the world but that just means beach front property for every one!

>>32002673
Speaking of which. I really miss Axe Girl.

I guess that's another reason to get off this continent.

>>32002673
We aren't forcing a rival to befriend us.

Axe girl can chill.

>>32002673
Key word there: "Rivals".

Beside all we gotta do is krump them hard enough and they'll be begging to join us.

>>32002697
I honestly find the whole Light Goddess thing rather apt for Shax, especially how up until now it was all subterranean lights like crystals and moss.

She's the most good and nice evil thing out there.

>>32002699
I don't. She sucks. The most dangerous part about her is her buddy the half orc.
>>32002697
People always forget that light can burn and give you cancer.

>>32002749
She'll grow into a worthy rival.

Besides, I wasn't missing her for her fighting skills. Loli ojou-samas are great.

>>32002769
Especially when they aren't that capable. Is that what you call "gap moe?"

>>32002769
>>32002749
She does kinda suck.

If she ever stops being so annoying she might be tolerable.

>>32002786
I think gap moe would apply here, yeah.

>>32002796
Well, Allonces became a lot cooler after spending time with us so...

>>32002800
She isn't cute

>>32002796
I think she was already re-evaluating her opinion of us after that whole tournament thing so I kind of expect it to be a different story when we encounter her next.

>>32002813
She did get more useful with her nifty chain magicks.

But I will never forget her humiliating fire trial. Does she have any burns from that?

>>32002822
You're entitled to your opinion.

>>32002822
She definitely is.
Are you the same anon bitching about Allonces back when we were choosing our party for this whole thing? Your tendency to state opinions as fact sure feels familiar at least.

>>32002848
Yeah she still has the scare

>>32002857

I think Axe Girl is going to end up kind of caught up by the fact that Shax is actually kind of a nice and decent person when she isn't doing her job. That Evil-Good perk is probably going to get her to try and attempt some Redemption or something.

Tsundere is not bratty.

Bratty is yelling and screaming when you don't get your way.

Bratty is rich children who believe their entitled and better than everyone.

Bratty kills the cute of anything that it is paired with. Even the ultimate cute of Tsundere.

>>32002989
I can honestly say that I'd hate anyone who realistically portrayed an anime or even almost any fictional personality in the real world.

But the fictional portrayals are cute and endearing.
