You are Shax Gloombreaker, Apprentice Dinohandler, Probably some kinda Demi-God, owner of a really big sword, Master of Allonces who is forever your pet, not really that great with a tambourine, and Chieftess of the United Cave Goblin tribes of the West Central Underworld Goblin Warrens, which is a huge responsibility you dumped on the first assistant you could trick into helping you and ran off to raid the countryside with your merry band of whackos. Which is probably is what is expected of the leader of the goblins. It's good to live up to expectations, especially now that so many people have those things about you.

You have:
>14/56 BtB exp
>22/56 MSiF exp
>7/56 CyRCTHaM exp
>One Divine Duty away from more Sea Mom Stuff

>Shax's Stuff! So you can keep track: http://pastebin.com/U3hKZfAd
>I'm the boss! Points: 0
>Pearls: 8 (restocked due to time lapse in getting back to Manderlin Plains)

Rather than spend the rest of your life showing elves who the boss is (it is you, of course), you were ordered back to Manderlay. Was kinda rude of them, especially since you made the Valenwood theatre go smoothly. Elves ain't nothin'! By the time you get back, the forest is practically crawling with underworld denizens. Hey... this is your camp. They can't just walk in like they own the place! Still, there is a main column of the underworld army here in your ruins, apparently forming some kinda staging ground. Which is lame, because they didnt' even lift a finger to turn that rad hideout into the rad hideout it is.

>>33167562
Exploding light birds are way cooler than lasers.
>>
>>33167101
>Master of Allonces who is forever your pet
Well, Shax sure took to that idea rather quickly, especially after she seemed to be against it earlier.
>>
>>33167739

Shax is nothing if not adaptable
>>
Oh well, you don't really want to be all formal and military-like. You're not very good at it. Quickly, you pass the main group of the army and head to the Witch Boy's house. I hope he doesn't mind all the visitors! Parking your t-rex next to his house, the boys quickly swarm all around it, making a general mess of things. Gneb is yelling at the spiders, because they are trying to eat up the garden, and Nost is yelling at the boys because they are trying to eat up the garden. It isn't five minutes before kobolds are making weird rock shrines to whatever dragon they worship, and Allonces barely finishes knocking on the door when it snaps open.

"What the hell are you people doing? Those are precious experiments! They take years to cultivate! Put them down!" He starts to dash out the door when Allonces waves at him.

"Hey, Franklin. What's up?"

He stops dead in his tracks and scratches the back of his head, "Hahaha oh hey Allonces are these you're friends they seem pretty cool it's been a while how are you doing I'm alright you're looking really good I mean pretty good you're looking pretty good"

Allonces slides a wink your way while Franklin falls over himself, "I'm doing alright. Shax didn't want to hang out with the main branch of the army. Mind if we stay at your place?"

Franklin looks at the full contingent of rambunctious goblins generally causing havoc. "Ehh, I don't-"

"Overnight. I forgot to bring my bedroll, silly me, you don't mind if I spend the nights at your house?"

"Yes that would be okay." Franklin nods. Then he nods twice more. With that decided you yawn, stretch and walk into the door right past him.

"Hey! Get Milda in here, we gotta set up how the boys are gonna camp." Boring logistics then commence. You should probably send a letter to the main camp.

>Make it appropriately natured. You're here to take orders, but you aren't gonna sit around playing soldier.
>Make it clear that you're going to raid and do whatever you want.

This is literally what we'll end up doing anyway so we might as well start dropping the pretense.
>>
>>33167825
>>Make it clear that you're going to raid and do whatever you want.

Blow metaphorical raspberries at them.
>>
Sometimes I wonder if the power is getting to Shax's head or if the power is just enabling her to finally express her natural disposition and get away with it.
>>
>>33167825
>>Make it clear that you're going to raid and do whatever you want.
"So I was thinking I make a really cool crystal cave which is super obvious. Then the armies come to me, and I get to raid them instead of just raiding cities."

>Make it clear that you're going to raid and do whatever you want.

Both

>>33167825
>Make it clear that you're going to raid and do whatever you want.

Maybe Shax is getting too big for her britches

Which is a stupid saying because goblins don't wear britches, except when they do, but it's kind of hard to find a pair of britches small enough that a goblin would be too big for them

Yeah, it's definitely a stupid saying.

I'm very sorry. Have this druid girl as an apology.

>elves in nighties

Elves are too slutty/hippieish for nighties, clearly they sleep au naturel.
>>
>>33168030
I'm sure I have at least a few of those.

But they're probably buried in my folder of lewd elf pics, and while I can easily get away with reading quest threads on my laptop at work, searching through a folder of lewd pictures...not so much.

Also make a crystal moss cave with one of our crystals here. This is a great place for a base for us and even after this whole war thing is over it would be a good place to have one of our homebasecaves.
>>
I kinda want Shax to flirt with Witchboy a bit. For fun.
>>
>>33168305
Giving witch boy access to our library would also be a good way to make up for our guys trashing his place.
>>

I don't think she could, even if she wanted to.

>>33168384
Don't forget to let the staff know first !

We should Check on our forge lady too.

>>33168242
I'd point out that being drunk leads to poor decisions, but then I remember what else Shax did in that bout of drunkeness.
>>
>>33168450
Could we try?

You sit down to write out the letter personally since you figured you owed them at least that much, but Milda said that your handwriting was 'an affront' to 'all senses, simultaneously' and a bunch of other disrespectful stuff, and wrote it out according to your dictation.

"Hey military big-wigs, this is Shax, your goblin boss, and I got some things to say."
Honored Commanders, this is Chief Gloombreaker, of the United Golbin Tribes with a message
"You guys have made me run back and forth this continent and are now telling me to wait around in a forest which is boring and lame."
I have logistical and strategic concerns with your current directions
"Because of this I'm gonna get back to raiding and runnin' around doing interesting things and finding interesting people."
As a result of this, I am going to allocate my resources in a way I feel will better the cause.

Milda looks up at you expectantly as you sit down and start eating. "What? I'm done."

"Oh," The dwarf woman says, "That's it?"

Nodding, you continue chowing down. Franklin has been talking to Allonces non-stop and you watch him go on and on and on about his boring hobbies at her. You're not sure how she can stand it. Looks like he has been busy since the last time you saw him, and he is talking about his creepy dolls again.

"-some serious breakthroughs lately! I can almost make one of those god vessels now!"

Allonces rests her head on her arms and looks at him, "Oh? We actually grabbed one of those not too long ago."

Franklin stares at her for a moment. "What?"

"Yeah. Was some sorta small boy. A dragon married it." Allonces pokes the spoon in her cup around the bowl a bit, "It was kinda weird."

He stands up, "Are you sure it was a god vessel?"

Allonces nods.

"So one has been used recently... I see. That's really useful knowledge, you're so great Allonces!" She laughs dismissively.

>Butt into the conversation.
>Leave them alone, and go bother the boys about finding a spot to raid.

You stop chewing for a second, "Yeah we totally beat up an entire country to get it. I had to cut up all kindsa undead people. But why's that important for making one?"

Franklin pushes up his glasses and nerds out, "You see the ritualistic invocation required to properly sublimate a deific spirit to a-" Nope, not listening anymore. You yawn a bit, "-related to the recent mass changings of throne ownership-" Wait, that part sounds like something you actually care about. You hold a hand up. "Yes, Shax?"

"Um! You said thrones. I just took three of them, you know? Can you tell me more about them?"

His mouth is slightly agape. "What, really?" You nod, and Franklin closes his eyes. "Are you capable of creating your own elemental minions already?"

"I dunno. I can make crystal turtles and junk," He's dangerously close to being boring again.

"Can you manifest a direct connection to your plane?"

"Yep! You can enter my crystal cave at any time if I rub this pearl right here!" You hold one up.

Franklin crosses the room faster than you thought possible and stares at it, "Fascinating. And how many of these do you have?"

"'Bout eight. I got more books than you now, too. That means I'm the boss." You look at Allonces to make sure understands that you are better than him at books. She just looks a little confused.

Franklin runs around grabbing various books, flipping to well worn pages with bookmarks in spots, and doing various things. This looks lame, so you yawn and go to leave. "Later. Have fun reading or whatever." He didn't even answer any of your questions. You see Milda handing the paper to a spider rider, and she waves at you when he starts off.

"Hey, Shax. The message is sent. We should hear back from them in about a day or so." Good.

What's the plan right now?

>Time skip forward to the next day.

I mean it -is- his property. In so far as that he can have his own things when we're around.

But still.
>>
>>33168989
We probably don't want a cave right here, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to see if Franklyn knows anything about ascention.
>>
>>33169054
Now that I think about it, Shax is pretty indiscriminant with who she shows her cave to. She even lets them climb into it too. She must have people crawling in and out all day long.
>>
>>33169096
All the fucking nostalgia.
>>
>>33169108
Remove "Witchboy" from that last sentence and you'd be absolutly right.
>>
Alright. Let's do some redecorating!

Writing.
>>
You chat with the boys a bit to see how they're doing. Rund has mastered some sort of horrible diving attack where his armor does more damage to the target than his actual weapon. The fanatically loyal trash can knights are drilling this maneuver. So you sorta stare at dudes covered in bits of armor throw themselves on the ground repeatedly for a while. They're really brave.

Nost and Mnar have started up a wrestling league, which is a big hit the boys. Every night they have a contest to compete over some sort of hideous helmet, and you see the Mnar is currently wearing it. He talks about how when he's in the ring, surrounded by cheers, that he has never felt more alive. You believe him. Him and Nost have a sort of glow about them now. It's nice to do what you love.

After a bit more wandering around, you figure you oughta go to your sweet crystal palace. You duck your head in to see Franklin.

"Hey." You tap his shoulder.

He nearly jumps out of his boots, "Oh! Sorry, I got distracted there. What do you want?"

You point at his window. "I'm about to remodel your yard to make a shortcut to my palace. Anywhere you don't want me to mess up?" He lists, like, twenty things. Nodding along, you use the pearl in a spot that looks like it isn't a problem.

After it pops up, you visit the staff and collect a batch of artifacts for your army from the forge girl. She's apparently turned quite a profit off your forges, and is starting to make the moves on absorbing other businesses. That is probably fascinating to someone! She asks if there is any sort of artifact you'd like for her to try and make, but you don't know.

You encounter the goddess you freed, who approaches you quickly. "Hey, Shax, I see you've got another orb. Did you want to free that god, or what?"

Oh right, you never smashed it.

>Ask what she can do with it if you don't smash it.
>Break it open.
>Kick her out of your house and find someone else to do something with the orb.
>>
>>33169653
>Ask what she can do with it if you don't smash it.

Or we can just break it I guess.
>>
>>33169653

>>33169653
Meh, let's ask Franklin about this stuff, he seems to know some shit about Godhood and such.

Alrighty, writing
>>
>>33169653
Man doesn't she care? It's, like, her sibling or cousin or something in there, isn't it?
>>
>>33170024
Breaking it would set him free.
>>
>>33170055
Yes. Her query suggests an openness to the god remaining trapped.
>>
You bring the orb out and show it to her, "This is a super powerful artifact, right? So what can you do with it if I don't smash it up? I dunno when I can get the third one, so I don't want to go around breaking stuff all willy nilly if I can avoid it."

The goddess puts a finger on her lip, "I don't think he'd enjoy being imprisoned very much... but I can definitely work some rituals on it. I could embed the imprisoned gods divinity into a different object, for instance, or create a huge army of wood elementals. Neither of this would kill the god, but freeing him at that point would be pretty difficult. Not to mention that it'd make your own rise to godhood much more difficult."

You're not sure how much you care about that. "What kindsa stuff would embedding him do?"

She tilts her head and looks up as if trying to remember something, "Well. If I embedded him into, for instance, your sword, it would allow it to hit incorporeal and divine beings as if they were mortals. It could literally kill gods. Putting it into an appropriate vessel would let that vessel come to life appropriate to whatever design that vessel held. All sorts of powerful enchantments could be put into place if you embed him into an amulet or shield of some kind. It is a very powerful effect."

You got plenty of sweet loot. Maybe something else? "Alright, so what about those army summoning rituals, is there something I can get other than those elemental dudes?"

The goddess shakes her head, "Jeez, you're asking me a lot of hard questions. Ummm, I guess I could? They'd probably all be woodland creatures of some variety, though, you know?" Interesting.

We can find another one and use that to kill gods, right?
>>
>>33170536
Sure, but we aren't going to, unless there's a god imprisoned in it that we don't like.
>>
>>33170555
Maybe we could steal that dragon's husband and put him in the sword?
>>
>>33170686
No, when we steal the Dragon's husband, we'll probably make him our own husband.
>>
You briefly contemplate the glowing orb in your hand before smashing it to the ground. A familiar scene plays out.

"Thank you for freeing me from my prison, mortals. I am-" A vague masculine sounding energy being starts speaking to you.

The goddess steps in. "Hey, yeah, she knows. How's it going? It's been a while." Then she starts pulsing a bit. The other god pulses back. This continues for some time as he eventually gains a man-shaped form.

"Hey, you guys? It is rude to leave your host outta the conversation. Speak so I can hear!"

Regarding you, the goddess turns your way, "Oh, I was just catching him up on what all has been going on. Anyway, those shards you've gathered should be pretty handy! We can probably tether you to divinity with just these, but it'd be super risky."

"Yeah, I'll pass on optional stuff that might kill me," You wave your hand dismissively. No reason to do this till it can definitely succeed. You turn around, "Anyway, you guys have fun. I don't know when I'm gonna get around to the third one, so just hang tight till then."

You head back out of the fort, and go to bed. It's time for a nice rest! The next day a messenger arrives with a note that essentially just says 'okay but you're definitely going to have to attack the capital with us'. That was considerate of them.

You've got an itchin' in your feet. You wanna wander somewhere. You get the scouts to tell you the targets. What's the plan, boss?

Hmmm.

You said no jobbing and then you actually didn't job.

This might be a first for this quest, actually.

Anyway, writing.

Now I have to go replay the Mother series.

A circus sounds fun, and you've never been to one before. The problem being that there is no way they'd let you into a circus! Still, you want to see all the animals and stuff. You remember being told about it when you were really young. They sounded so cool and weird. A carneval came into the warrens once, but it was lost and all the goblins looted it blind, and the animals all got eaten, so you didn't get to see any. You gotta avoid that here! So your job is two fold.

You gotta keep the circus from freaking out and running away, and you gotta keep the boys from destroying the circus. This mission is going to be the hardest adventure yet. Taking personal command of each scout, you deliver orders to engage the circus from a great distant to gauge its guard strength, and test the limits of its scouts. After a few days of probing, and letting the boys raid a couple farms to keep them calm, you decide to make your move.

With deft, almost text book maneuvering, your spider cavalry disabled their scouts, webbing them up to avoid killing anyone associated with the circus, before your shock troops slammed unsuspecting caravan guards. You personally rode your dinosaur into the lead carriage, terrorizing the ring leader. After your mount's crab hands snipped all his hats to bits except one, you knew you had him where you wanted him. Quickly, the whole circus caravan surrendered, and you managed to force them to set up shop.

Finally, you can enjoy the sights and sounds of the carnival! What do you want to hit up first?

The only way Shax would do good at that is if she used her power bracelet to swing something alarmingly heavy onto the pressure plate. She isn't actually strong, after all.
>>
>>33171667
Actually Shax is pretty ripped (for a goblin) now. With all her running up and down and being amazing.

Still not strong for a human though.

>The game booths! Let's win prizes!
>>
>>33171692
That might give her stamina and leg strength but cardio alone isn't going to make her ripped.

Ironically, the same thing that lets her carry heavy things keeps her from getting more arm strength, since weight training just won't work with it.

Target DC was 4, btw. If you don't feel like reading the graph, I basically count up from lowest to highest per skill ranking. So iii would the third highest roll ascending from lowest.

So the first two rolls failed, and the second two won.

If you were wondering what all those numbers and lines meant.

I think it is a cool system so I wanted to try it out on something that doesn't matter.

She does have a belt of strength now, guys.

Also, her style of swordfighting is basically her holding onto a rapidly moving piece of metal for dear life. She lifts herself all the time.

You rush over immediately to the first thing you think of when you think of a carnival. Games! There are supposed to be fun games and stuff, right? You ought beat all these easily.

The booths are pretty lively as the boys run amok, from game to game, and you watch some of them play, cheering when they do well. There is a knife throwing game that Kuzr ACES, winning a weird sewn doll thing that everyone is totally jealous of. When you try it, though... Well. You didn't hit anyone, that is a good thing. But every time you tried throwing the knife it bounced off something, or got stuck in the fence. The dang booth is too small, and the targets too wobbly. Who invented this game?? This whole thing is rigged! This isn't fun, games are stupid! You didn't yell this at the booth owner, though you really wanted to. Instead you just got increasingly mad and tried it a whole lot, but got worse every time. You got so mad that you left the circus for a moment and just sat down and steamed.

But, you quickly got over it and went back. This time you were going to play a game you were good at! Yeah, that's it. Ring throwing! That's different from knife throwing. The targets were still, and all you had to do was get the ring aroudn those bottles. Even a kid could do that. Even Whoop could do it with his crab hands. Which is why it was super embarrassing when you couldn't. Everyone looked at you with pitying eyes when Whoop won the second time in a row and you still hadn't gotten one ring in the right spot yet. It was too embarrassing so you left.

In sadness, you went to the goldfish catching booth. It was abandoned, and you were feeling glum so you at down, gave the booth guy a couple tokens and played. It was... calming. And then super exciting when you caught a goldfish. It was cute, all swimming around. You promised the booth owner you weren't going to eat it. You're pretty sure he believed you. You put it in a bag, and put the bag on your hip. You named it Shining Victory!
>>
High off your win, you saw a hammer contest. It tested to see how strong you were! Brokagh was lording it over the goblins, which is probably not very fair since he's an orc. So you decided to show him up and slam that thing as hard as possible! Your score was huge! The booth owner said he's never seen such a strong little girl, which made you real proud. Games weren't so bad, after all.

Still, everyone at the circus was trying really hard! Everyone was treating your boys real nice. It is good to see people who try hard at their job, delivering the best entertainment they can. The knife game owner was telling you not to kill his family, but you're pretty sure you're not even holding them hostage. What a weird statement to make.

All in all, a fun time! You've got to check the rest of it out!

----------------------------------------------------------------------

That's it for tonight! Thanks for playing along. Writing the circus will be fun for everyone, I hope. I got plans for it, that I only sorta made up about an hour ago! Let's enjoy ourselves! Thanks so much for putting up with me, reading, talking, commenting, etc. It makes me find it all worth it!

Sunday definitely. Hope to see you then! You'll get exp after the circus.

Shax is too cute, Chief. Thanks for running!

Shining victory is gonna die like all carnival goldfish.
Then we're gonna end up having him reincarnated.
I really hope tha when that happens we use the table for humans.

>>33172429
Please let this happen.

I kinda want this.

So, goldfish can be trained.
Lets get shining victory his own giant sword and train him to use it.
>>
>>33172429
It wouldn't change its mind would it?
It would still just act like a goldfish.

I think it would be better if it reincarnated into a giant shark, or a plesiosaur or something

That's a good idea, but it'll have to wait until Shax gets drunk again.

But what should it be enchanted to do? I would prefer something practical, so that it isn't TOO magical realm while also giving her a reason to wear it all the time. Some sort of protection or enhancement?

We can tell her it'll help her pick up guys.
