“Three?” He says with a shrug.

“I'll take all three!”

He shrugs again. “Okay.” Three iron buckets appear on the table in front of him.

“How much do I owe you?”

“Just take'um. Iron's everywhere. I doubt anyone'll actually pay more than a couple gold for them. Last I checked, the iron used to make'um's worth more than the bucket's themselves.”

You take up the buckets. “Woe, thanks a lot.”

He shoos you away. “Nothin' to thank me for. They were just takin' up inventory space.”

“I see.” You pause, “Can you also make pistons?”

“Pistons?”

“Yeah. Pistons. Like, you know, the kind you'd find in a steam engine.”

“Steam engine?”

“Yeah. I'm trying to make one. Think you can help me make the parts?”

“You entering the race?”

“Maybe.”

“Well, if you are, I'll make you everything IF you give me half your winnings.”

“How do you know I'll win?”

“Well, I also have a driver in mind,” You explain, “So how about a third, splitting it evenly between each of us?”

He thinks for a moment. “Alright,” He concludes, “It's a deal.”

The two of you shake hands to seal the deal.

“So,” Tabula asks, “How are we gonna make this thing?”

“Well, we're gonna need somewhere to keep the water. Somewhere to keep the coals. Some pipes to put the steam into the pistons. The pistons themselves. Some wheels. Some of those... things. You know, those things that the pistons push that moves the wheels? Those things.” You think some more, “Somewhere for the driver to sit.” You start thinking some more, “OH! Brakes. Those things are important, oh, and a way to steer! That's also important.” You nod to yourself.

“So, how big are we making this thing?” The elf asks.

“As big as it needs to be.”

It can take a ton of damage though, and will have far more operational endurance than the other competitors.

Other people brings bikes and race cars to the race.

We bring a tank of death. A steam tank of death. Hopefully with the option of a large magical cannon for the mages to use.

Then we steamroll wildlife with it after the race.

The landers are going to be so scared.

>>32187704

Yeah, might as well not halfass this.

Go for full steam tank.

>>32187749
Not enough levers.

We should probably consider this steam tank a prototype, which means it'll have a simple ballista rather than a cannon and have fairly light armor to give it speed.

So a light steam tank, really.

Tanks are pretty slow though, we'd have to abuse the terrain or eliminate the other racers to win instead of relying on raw speed. Do we know what the course looks like?

>>32187688

We'll paint it red as well.

Why do you think we're going for a tank? To wish people a Happy New Year?

Anons, you know why steam car never existed?

Because to keep it running, you need coal. And coal is heavy. So you ends up with a steam train anyways.

If you have a fire elemental from a summoner, though...

>>32187813
>Tanks are pretty slow thoug

Depends on the tank, modern MBTs are ridiculously fast.

>>32187832
Do landers have a custom where they wish happy new year by grinding the recipient underneath the treads of progress?

Cause if so, yes, we are building it for that.

>>32187853
And, as I mentioned, light tanks are also fast.

...I don't know.

LET'S FIND OUT!

>>32187868

Eh, I'd prefer a Panther equivalent, not keen on a light tank.

If I wanted small and delicate I'd have gone for the car.

>>32187873
This picture basically summarizes the quest right now.

We're building a fucking tank for no other reason than because we hypothetically can.

>>32187888
The MBT can come later. You gotta prototype things.

However, if our steam engine can power a MBT, then go for it.

>>32187853
To be fair, I'm pretty sure our makeshift 1800s steamtank isn't going to get the same amount of oomf out of it that MBTs running on jet fuel get.

>>32187889
Technically, our goal is to win the race.

But realistically, once we build a steamtank who gives a fuck about the race?

>>32187924

>>32187912

I'm conflicted right now, I want my armored steam-powered juggernaut of doom, but I sure as hell don't want to do things Lilac's way.

Build a bigger, angrier tank after the race? Or just before if we get that prototype out quickly enough?

>>32187941
>Lever is actually Tank Gun/Flak monstrosity

>>32187956
I am ok with staying an extra day or two to make a landship.

>>32187956
Well, if we prototype a light tank that can win the race and then build the doomsday tank afterwards, then we'll have two tanks. Possibly one which we can sell for lodsemony.

So there's that.

>>32187962
>Not just chaining a dragon to the roof and calling it a turret.

>>32187975
The light tank will be loaded onto our landship as a scout ship to be deployed when needed. Or an escape vehicle.

>>32187975
Oh! Just got an idea! We could use one of the tanks as a coal mule, because lord knows we're going to need a lot of coal for a cross country trip.

>>32187985
Perfect.

We also need a summoner in the team badly.

Portable turrets.

>>32187997
But we can just hire a summoner and say bye bye to the coal problem!

>>32188011
True... we might get more offers for our party after the race.

Especially if Lilac leaves in a huff

>>32188030
I think we are ok with that.

We can get our lore information from elsewhere.

>>32188030
>hire a summoner
>never does any work
>spends all his time making out with his summoned waifus

>>32188030
We could give 1/6th of the prize to Lilac if we don't want her to leave, or dedicate the vehicle to her.

>>32188061
I'm certainly okay with it, but for the sake of at least TRYING we might want to let Lilac know we're building a landship without her and if she wants to join in now is the time to do it.

>>32188070
We could call it The Pink Bitch.

>>32188068
No one expects summoner to do anything.

We expect his waifus to do the work. Like any anime functional harem.

>>32188070
>dedicate it to her
I feel like that would just piss her off even more.

Should we try to make amends with Lilac before the race? Her Sorcerer abilities could help us power the steam engine.

>>32188068
And that raise the question why would anyone not want to be a summoner.

>>32188070
>>32188110

How about no?

The entire reason we're out here is because she's a bitch, and I'm not intending to forget that.

>>32188109
I mean, less the vehicle more the victory.
"There would've been no vehicle without Lilac to inspire me and help! She was crucial to the victory!" etc etc.

>>32188136
Okay, so she's a bitch. But if she's on the design team she might (if she is a legit engineer) spot something we're missing.

>>32188137
But this probably hurt Judi

>>32188136
Girl got issues, and we poked them.

It can happen to anybody, if you needle them in the right place.

We do also say some stupid shit sometimes.

>>32188165

You'd have to have some serious evidence that she's a legit fucking engineer.

>>32188172
Then we dedicate the victory to everyone but ourselves.

Do we really need the prize money for ourselves?

I think we should call dibs on the tank.

>>32188136
Or, we could not be a childish little cockmongler and hold a grudge over the fact that she got a bit grumpy.

If she continues to make a determined effort to be a bitch then sure, but I'm getting damn sick of this tendency of declaring an NPC as the ultradevil because they weren't 100% nice to us every moment of every day.

To prove that she is an engineer and a credit to the team. And that she is willing to work with us.

>>32188213
We will forgive her if Judi will.

>>32188236

I get the feeling she will.

But fair enough, this entire endeavour is possible because of Judi's sweat and blood.

>>32188236
Judi's also has a pretty severe issue with feeling worthless, and feeling like she's a detriment to the team.

She probably doesn't even feel slighted.

>>32188254
We as a leader need to look out for our flock though.

>>32188291
Yes, and, as leader, we're ostracizing one member of the party in favor of another, when one member sacrificed quite a bit for that other player's sake.

Our best move here would be to bring Lilac back into the fold, and win as a team, instead of splitting up due to some feeling of vengeance on behalf of a character that doesn't even see it that way.

All this hype is distracting me from writing, not that I mind it.

“I was thinking more of a train you can steer.” You say, “With tank treads!”

“Tank treads?”

“Yes! There's a lot of unstable terrain out there. Tank treads are the only way to be certain.”

“That makes sense.”

“And a big cannon on the top!”

“So, what you really want is a steam tank?”

“Yes! That's even better!”

“Don't you think this's going a bit overboard?”

“If by overboard you mean fucking awesome, then yes. Yes I do.”

Tabula remains silent.

“First thing is first.” You say, “We need a boiler and some pistons. Maybe start off small for prototyping. A bucket of water, a cover, and a piston.”

The elf shrugs, “Well, better than the bike, I suppose.”

“Damn straight!”

The two of you get to work. By the time the sun rises you have a bucket with its top covered by a pipe which wraps around and ends with an opening currently covered by a piston. You put the bucket into the hot coals of forge in Tabula's workshop. You rub your hands together.

“This is the future, Tabula.” You say.

“Looks more like the past.” He responds, “But I know what you mean.”

You can hear the water begin to boil.

Suddenly the piston goes shooting out, a huge burst of steam following it.

“Well I'll be damned.” Tabula says.

“Told you it worked.” You reply.

The elf adjusts his glasses. “What's next?”

“What are the other fundamentals?”

“When you have a problem, talk to a rubber duck before asking for help.”

He gives you a very peculiar look.

The piston is soon attached to a metal bar, which is affixed to a wheel.

You spin the wheel manually to make sure the piston goes back into the pipe, which it does.

Perfect.

Tabula can hardly stay awake, but he stays to see this experiment through.

The water boils.

The steam builds.

Finally the piston shoots out, spinning the wheel, and the piston goes back into the pipe.

Then nothing.

The steam builds up again until the piston shoots out once more.

Then nothing again.

You remove the mechanism form the coals. “It's losing too much steam, but it works.”

“Mhmm.” You half-asleep elf respond. “More testing tomorrow.” He yawns loudly and gets up. “I'm going to sleep. Don't burn down my house while I'm asleep.” He heads upstairs to where you assume his bed is.

Wait, this could actually be revolutionary.

So assume the piston has two states - compressed and extended. The lever would swtich between the two. Further assume that this switching generates more power than it takes to switch the lever (cause magic, fuck you).

What we'd need then isn't a classic steam engine, we'd need something more like a steam computer that would flip levers in sequence to generate propulsion.

>>32189154
Railguns are nothing more than magnetized chambers that fire out magnetized objects with a different charge best I understand it.
In theory you could fashion a crude rail cum with a lightning elemental, some copper wiring and a few other basic parts. It would most likely not be very effective though.

Shep; what class is the elf?

>>32189216
>what class is the elf?

Summoner, of course.

>>32189216
>lightning elemental, some copper wiring and a few other basic parts
It'd tear itself apart if you actually tried firing anything big enough to hurt.

>>32189226
TS, you /magnificent/ motherfucker.

>>32189216
And we don't have enough peasants to pull the other way off.

>>32189216
How do you make cum magnetic enough to use as ammunition?

>>32189216
It'd probably be easier to just use class skills. Hell, they already have one that fires bullets out of a summoned elemental without having to go through the trouble of building something around it.

godamn it that was not the image I wanted.

I know people would like a modern turret gun, but breech loaded artillery is a project in and of itself.

A ballista (perhaps with explosive bolts or something) might be a simpler option.

>>32189516
Because japan is pretty racist

>>32189526
There's lore for that.

Why settle for just steam?

We can make a hybrid steam/electric engine setup. Going off the steam computer idea, it'd make sense to have someone "use" the computer. The way i picture it, we put a system of turbines between the steam engine and the tank treads. The turbines generate electrical energy from the movement of the tank, we feed that energy into a room in the tank built to house both a lightning elemental and the levers operating the steam computer.

>>32189516

When we're a higher level of engineer we might try for electricity, but really fossil fuels are the most energy efficient way (in terms of raw output and storage capacity) available.

We might have to drill for oil at some point. I'm sure it's a thing.

>>32189568
I'm actually more concerned with why Kiwi kinda sounds insulting when I don't have any fucking clue where that town is.
I can't geography.

You decide that you should probably check on Judicature. You travel back to the inn. There are not many awake before noon, so you find only a handful of people there, but no one you know. You travel up the stair and step in front of your own room before you realize that you are not here for sleep.

You turn around and head for Judi's room.

Knock knock.

“Hello?” You hear Judi ask from inside.

“Can I come in?” You ask in response.

“Okay.” She responds.

You open the door. There she is, sitting on her bed.

“I didn't wake you, did I?”

“No. I've been awake for a while.”

“Then why are you still here?”

She fidgets and looks away, “I just... did not feel like doing anything.”

“Well, since you're not doing anything I need your help with something.”

She looks back, “W-what do you need me to do?”

“I need you to drive my steam tank to victory.” You put an arm around her and point to the horizon. “With you at the helm, our steam tank will beat out any big ass bikes!”

“Bikes?”

“Yes! Even the biggest of bikes will find themselves wanting in the presence of your steam tank! That is why you must enter the race with the steam tank I built!”

“O-okay.”

“Good! Now let us go and register for the race!”

Your turn around and open the door to leave.

“Umm.” You hear behind you. “Can't I just.” A pause. “Stay here?”

“Why?” You ask turning around.

“Because,” She pauses. “I just don't feel like going outside.”

“Why?”

“It's.” She goes silent.

“It's?”

She mumbles something.

“What?”

“I'm embarrassed.”

You feel confused. “Embarrassed of what?”

“Of people seeing me.”

>>32190049
And through the night, behind the wheel, the mileage clicking west
I think upon Mackenzie, David Thompson and the rest
Who cracked the mountain ramparts and did show a path for me
To race the roaring Fraser to the sea.

>>32190057
You think on it for a while. “Didn't I already tell you no one cares?”

“Yeah, but-”

“Do I need to go track down that dog and ask him if he cares? Cause I'll do it.”

She says nothing, but looks away from you.

“You said you wanted to be useful, right?” You ask, “Well, I need you to help me with this.”

After what feels like forever she finally relents. “Okay.”

You exit the room, but she does not exit with you.

“Maybe I should just leave through the window.” She says, “So no one can see me.”

Before you can point out how bad of an idea that is, she is already out the window.

You sigh and head down stairs. Going all the way around the inn to the back alley, you find the duelist.

“Did you really need to do that?” You ask.

“Did anyone see me?” She asks.

“No.” You answer, not even caring if the answer was actually yes.

“Good.” She says.

The two of you head for the center of town where a man in shiny gold armor is shouting.

“That's right! One race, One hundred thousand gold! You too can be the winner of this race! Just make a vehicle, power it however you want, and enter the race! Four days left! Enter now while you have the chance! Don't have a fast vehicle!? Don't worry! The race is from here to Ekechi 51! That's right! Efficiency is going to be the winner of this race, so if you want to be the tortoise that beats the hare, sign up here!” He points to you, “You there! Are you ready to race a machine of maximum efficiency!?”

“Hell yeah!” You shout, “This here's my driver, and I'm going to be entering a machine of my design!”

“Fantastic!” The man shouts back, “Just sign up here with the name of your crew and the name of your vehicle!”
