I like this fellow, can we keep him?

You kick your feet for a bit, eating some sort of 'corndog' which you're reasonably sure isn't made of corn OR dogs, and chatting with Bearbreath for a bit about the animals in front of you. You sorta lose track of time, and when the sun starts to set you realize you haven't seen the main event yet!

"Ah! Hey, you!" The animal handler seizes up and nervously glances in your direction when you address him, "When's the big show! I wanna see it now."

He gives you a mortified look before responding, "Oh, I, uh. I will go ahead and let the Ringmaster know, then." He scurries off quickly. You glance at Bearbreath, he shrugs. A few moments later the Ringmaster walks up to you.

"I'd like to personally invite you to the VIP seating for our performance this night." You don't know what VIP means, but you agree to it. The man with a top hat leads you into the giant tent, and you see most of the boys have been seated already. Allonces is actually draped across Alfonse's lap on front row, and she's treating him like some sorta giant recliner. When you sit down, a person hands you a bag of yellow fluffy looking stuff.

To your surprise, however, it was not fluffy at all. But crunchy! And it had small things that stuck in your teeth. But, for some reason, as you watched the performers you kinda forgot you were eating it even as you shoved more in your face.

First up were four guys introduced as the swiftest hands in the southwest. They were tossing some objects between each other in a rhythmic fashion, hands a blur. It was kinda cool! One dude dropped his stuff, and the others kept going right at him. He collapsed in tears. Man, circus life must be stressful. The ringmaster rushed over to juggler and hurried him off the stage, dabbing at his brow and glancing at you.

>Wave at him with a grin on your face.
>Your food bag is empty! Point at it so he can see the bag is empty.
>Have a big yawn.
>Pick someone to sit next to, VIP seat is boring.

I'm pretty sure Shax has some control over anything that produces light.

>>33231924
>Other
Give them a thumbs down and a stern face to show that they're boring us, and we'll leave if they continue.
They'll get what we mean, right?

>>33231924
>Wave at him with a grin on your face.
Because it's probably the most unnerving thing we can do right now.

>>33231924
>Have a big yawn.
>Pick someone to sit next to, VIP seat is boring.

That must have been an interesting conversation.

>"Okay, so there is a goblin outside carrying a sword larger than you are. We're not sure, but we think it's the same goblin who took Valenwood almost single-handedly. I know you guys have already clocked out and hit the booze, but she wants to see a performance, and I want my organs to remain inside my body, so get out there."

VIP seat worst seat. Alfonse-chair best seat.

>>33232129
Don't forget the horde of goblins, the lewd decadent corrupted elf, and the troll.

>>33232194
You mean Allonces-chair, she's our pet, which means she's also our chair.

When will we snuggle Allonces

>>33232367
When the ringleader tries to get Shax too drunk to kill everyone.

He's not very smart.

>>33232367
Never.

Allonces is purely for bullying.

>>33232383
That would be just terrible.

Just. Terrible.

>>33232391
No rason we can't do both.

>>33232383
drunk shax destroyed a elven stronghold almost singlehandedly...so if thats his goal gods help him

>>33232391
Making the victim think that you hate them, then snuggling fills them with so many conflicted feelings, it's practically the highest form of bullying.

You're watching the remaining three jugglers with a little interest. They're juggling knives and flaming sticks and stuff! That's gotta be dangerous. When you reach in to grab more crunchyfluff, you find the bag is empty. Woah. You didn't know you were pigging out on this stuff. You make a pretty stern face. Maybe you should watch your weight? But you were pretty hungry. You make eye contact with the ringleader, and after a big yawn, you point at your empty bag with your thumb. This seems to really upset him, and he rushes the jugglers off the stage. They were pretty good, too! Guess there is no time for rest in the circus life.

A person rushes over to you with another bag of stuff, and you thank him for it. He stares at you for a moment, and then runs off. Guess you gotta be kinda weird to work in a place like this. The next people up are some acrobats! Wow! You were told there were three, a family, but only two came out. The third one is apparently 'under the weather'? They get on these ropes and fling themselves around at each other. It seems really hard to do, but kind fun and kinda cool at the same time. They seem fairly professional, but they sorta stick to the same tricks. You guess if there was a third person they could do some crazy stuff? One person almost slipped, and that was kinda exciting, but shortly after they left the stage.

Next up were a bunch of clowns. They were kinda funny! Tripping all over the place and hitting each other. One threw up and was groaning on his hands and knees, so that was kinda weird, but the others were acting like nothing happened so you assume it was all part of the act. Still, you were expecting some sorta big show! This all seems like stuff street performers could do.

It's actually gotten pretty good. None of it matches, though, of course.

>>33232904
I assume our dosh is plentifully intensified?

We should get one of the smart elves to use our dosh in their smart way for the raidings.

>>33232904
Didn't we give that one goblin clan access to our elemental forge? And what is our blacksmith doing?
We should have them improve the quality of our raid's gear as much as they can

Noticing the ringmaster looking at you nervously, you give him a big smile and wave at him. His jack slacks and he blanches. What a weird guy. He almost forgets to introduce the next act as the performers start heading towards the stage. Strong men? Boring. They're lifting weights that are pretty big, but that's not really something that impresses you. Maybe you oughta check some places out while this is going on? It looks like it might take a while... Sliding out of your seat, you walk towards the place where all the performers were going after their act.

You poke your head around the corner.

"Gods damn I hope that wasn't the last performance of my life." "Oh shit I feel like I'm going to throw up again..." "I'm sorry I wasn't there, I just, I couldn't-" "Shh, it's okay. We did fine without you. It's okay."

What the heck happened here? It looks like someone died. A clown notices you. You're not sure if it is a he or a she, but their eyes widen at the sight of you. They put a finger up to their lips. Whattaya gotta be quiet for? The clown slaps their forehead as you round the corner and wave at the performers. Gotta lift their spirits! "Hi! I'm Shax. You guys all did great."

There is a chorus of moans, screams, and pleadings for their life. Whoa. Several people run from the room, and after a moment, most are on their knees, in the corner, staring blankly at you while sitting down, or the ambiguous clown in front of you. "Hey," The clown says in a quiet voice, "You're scaring them all to death, you know?"

Wow, you're scary? Cool! You don't think you've ever been scary before.

>Tell them what a good job they've done!
>Point out the very obvious mistakes and what they could improve on.
>Ask the clown person what their name is and what gender they are.
>Ask them what their favorite food is.
>Ask them what the coolest person in the raid group is in their opinion.

Absolutely bombard them with questions!

>>33233275
>>Point out the very obvious mistakes and what they could improve on.
I'm sure they'll love us helping them improve their act!

>>33233275
>Point out the very obvious mistakes and what they could improve on.

Also: Inform them that we were sort of hoping to pick up a new person for our raid group here, but if they're all this shabby, maybe it wouldn't be worth our time to keep them around.

>>33233275
>Point out the very obvious mistakes and what they could improve on.

We should go get our inner circle to vouch for our character. That'll fix all this fear.

"Hey! So I figured, you guys seem pretty nervous, but I could maybe offer some advice?" They're trying not to make eye contact. Other than the clown who is just staring right at you. "Like, juggling guy. If you mess up, it isn't a big deal! Just keep going like it is part of the plan. If you get upset, you just fall over and then the whole act is ruined. Gotta have better nerves you know," You give him a thumbs up, "I believe in you! And acrobat fellows, your act would probably be a lot more interesting with a third person! It can't be easy to train someone up to do that kinda stuff, but maybe you ought get someone spare? In case one person flakes out?" There is some crying, and the clown is still staring. You don't wanna look it in the eyes. "And, I'm not much for grossout humor. Maybe cut the vomitting thing out of the act?" You offer helpfully, smiling and nodding at the various downtrodden clowns.

You put your sword into the ground and lean on it, "So now that I've gotten that off my chest, give me some real talk, too. Who do you think is the coolest person in my lil' raid group here. C'mon. Be honest. You can't hurt my feelings. We're being honest with each other." The clown still stares at you, but the other people all glance at each other. "Speak up, now."

"I like you," The clown says in monotone, with a completely blank expression. Wh-what?

"I like the fish-guy..." The young acrobat says, "The one with the crab arms. He's funny." "Oh! I think that elf girl is pretty cute. The cute one, not the weird stalker one." "I like the stalker." "You would. How'd the cutie with the horns not get mentioned? I feel like I'm the only one who even knows she exists." "Gross, man. She has goat legs." They all seem more relaxed, now!

You hear some commotion behind you in the big top. You wonder what all the fuss is about?

>Go out there with your new friends!

>Worry about it later! You have new friends to talk to.

Shax should put on her own show. Between her acrobatic sword-fighting style and the light show she could put on with her birds and lasers it would be pretty cool.

>>33233966
Maybe the bounty hunter chick is following us around.

Probably lied about our bounty being redacted.

I just realized that with how our fighting style defies physics to gain obscene momentum that if we combined that with our teleportation we could do some crazy broken surprise attacks.

A pillar of ice, crackling with dark energy goes flying towards you as soon as you step outside. You roll away from it, and it lands in the ground, dark tendrils snapping and slashing wildly. Oh dang what the heck

"OHHH HO HO HO HO! You've shown your face at last, villain!" A girl with a massive axe is standing in the big top. The seats of the circus are encased in ice. Your minions appear to be hammering on it, but a blanket of translucent darkness seems to be buffering the ice against their attacks. "Well, then, Shax. Tell me! Are you not amazed at my splendid new artes!" She raises her arms and twirls, before bowing. She knows your name, but you don't remember...

Oh, right! It's Axe Girl! You wave your sword angrily and shout right back at her, "Hey! Axe Girl! I was having a good time getting to know these people, why you gotta butt in!?"

She points a finger at you, "Know them? You are holding their families hostage! Forcing them to dance for you on threat of death!"

"I just didn't want them runnin' off! They weren't going to play with me unless I did!" You slam the sword in the ground.

"You're a tyrant! Barbarian!"

"Party pooper! No fun havin' spoil sport brat!"

She waves her arm, tossing some sort of blue jewel, and four spears of ice form above her head and come sailing at you, and ripping the sword out of the ground, you swat them out of the air.

She lets loose another cackle, holding her hand over her mouth and glancing at you sidewise. "Give it up, Shax. Your brute force won't help you here! I've claimed thrones of darkness and ice! I'm like a demigod now! Just surrender for me, will you?"

Last time we met was during a deathmatch tournament run by an insane demilich.

>>33235237
It wasn't a deathmatch really and she was kind of surprised/upset that we had her surrender

>>33235349
It was intended to be a deathmatch. The demilich was rather miffed that we kept resolving fights with the power of friendship rather than murdering bitches.

>>33235367
Considering he was a demilich and likely more powerful than us he didn't really bother to enforce the rules if they were to be to the death.

I thought it was more like, standard procedure to kill but not an iron-clad rule.

Was Axe Lady really hot? She seems motivated by not being so hot.

Not to be outdone, you put your hands on your hips and hold you nose up in the air, and start to proudly state, "I'll have YOU know that I, Shax Gloombreaker, have-" Your battlefield instincts tell you something is coming! Also the clown behind you yelled 'look out' in a bored, monotone voice loudly, and you dodge as the oversized lance elf comes crashing down from the tent right where you are. She ducks in quick, pulling the sword in her other hand out of its scabbard and slashing at you, a swing you easily block. She's good, but you're better! Her eyes widen as you easily dance through her following spear thrust, sword slash, and downward thrust, and slam her in the chest with your sword, bowling her over.

You smack her on the head with your sword harshly, which should be enough to put her down for now. "Impressive! But, I already said your brute strength was no good here, you musclehead!" Tossing another jewel, three pillars of ice shoot out of the ground, and quickly get carved by dark tentacles into the shape of teddybears. The tentacles then snake into the ice-bears' joints and start moving them! The Axe Girl hops into the middle of them, axe at the defensive.

Rolling your eyes, you draw an astral pearl out. "As I was saying! I sat on some of those dumb old stone seats, too!"

"Ohh Ho ho ho! Of course you did! A simple cave creature like yourself can't afford finer furniture, after all. Go, Earl Bearska, Duke Bearling, Baron Bearston! Smash her to bits!" She points at you and the ice-bears charge at you, tendrils shooting out and dragging them faster than you expected.

You focus and toss a pearl onto the ground. Moments later, a turtle bursts out of the ground, tossing one of the bears to the ground. The other three come out of the floor of the circus soon after. You've got a scrum on your hands!

Our crystal turtles are way more awesome than some teddy bears made of ice. You can't even properly hug a teddy bear made of ice. It's stupid. Besides: Attack casters and summoners first.

>>33235609
>>33235670
These.

Also, we can teleport guys, don't forget that.

>>33235572
Question: Could we theoretically laser the darkness out of her Ice (Crystal) Bears and replace it with our light, thus subverting them to our cause? Because if so we need to help our turtles to make sure she doesn't hijack them.

>>33235687
WE CAN TELEPROT?!?

>>33235687
Oooooh, yes. Teleport in her face and smack her down.

>>33235701
We got a belt that does that from Dragon Lady.

>>33235695
If we're going to laser darkness, why not free our minions from their cage?

>>33235687
Once per day though. I forever hold out hope that we will one day learn how to use it in conjunction with our sword to go full Mercenary Tao (without crashing horribly).

>>33235695

Thank you for all the rounds of incoming failure.

>>33236085
They're both just power hungry little girls with huge egos in the end. No sense of loyalty at all.

>>33236193
To be fair, loyalty doesn't equate to longevity on the team Shax's playing on for now.

>>33236281
It does too! Provided the loyalty is to Shax.

Or Axe Girl apparently. Where's her half-orc bodyguard?

>>33236193

Loyalty's for chumps anyway

Can we force our way into her cave, then claim it for Shax? We'll probably have to use the pearl to get a reaction going. Axe Girl already knows that people take her special place if she gets conquered, so I doubt she'll resist. Much.

>>33236193
The only person Shax is loyal to is Sea Mom and that isn't even technically loyalty since Sea Mom's only "order" was to just do whatever the hell we want and inadvertently help her by doing it, possibly.

>>33236351
Jesus anon, Shax is a good girl, she won't force her way into anyone's cave! She asks for consent first.

>>33236356
Oh yeah, we forgot about our Sea Mom powers. Shax has so many powers.

I am going to flip my shit if defeating Axe Girl counts as helping Sea Mom and gets us a Sea levelup.

Has Axe-Girl's name even been mentioned. I thought she said her last name once back at the deathmatch but that's it.

>>33236429
Maybe when she introduced herself for the very first time? It doesn't matter. Even she has accepted that she is Axe Girl.

>>33236429
The demilich called her Miss Vapulatin.

Four turtles! That's more than three bears! Even if you don't have names for them. "Um, Turtletops!" The Axe Girl laughs that laugh again at you, "Turtletank?" More obnoxious laughter! "Ahhh I give up!" You stamp your foot as she stands there, hand over mouth and laughing. You'll show her! You take your left hand and wave it to the side, three light orbs crackle into being. Concentrating, they turn into three small birds. Taking your sword in both hands, you start to charge at her, birds moving with you.

To the side, you can see a turtle blasting a laser through one of the bears, as it drives a double handed hammer blow into its back, dark javelin-like tendrils lancing through the turtle to tear it apart. A double ko!

Axe girl has a blue gem between her index and middle finger, and a black gem between her pinky and ring finger. Now is the perfect time to hit her with a bird! You will one at her but she doesn't seem to notice, "Ho? I won't let them discount your bravery, Shax!" She lifts her arm up, just as a bird slams into her side and explodes. She drops the jewels with a little 'kyaa' noise.

Now's your chance! You rapidly close the distance with the girl, sword held like a lance. Noticing you approaching, Axe Girl holds her hand out, spraying a light icy mist at you. You have to squint your eyes against it and slow down a bit, and when you stab your sword into the ground she has already moved to the side. Your second bird hits her in the stomach at the same time as the third hits her in the back of her head, preventing her from maintaining concentration for the two jewels she's recovered.

"You've learned new tricks, I see. That's fine. Even my dogs can learn something new every now and then!"

You're in close quarters combat with her and she's got two jewels ready to go! What's the plan?

>Stay on her! Just hit her hard and fast and keep her off balance!
>Save up for something big and take her out in one strike!
>Play defensively, wait for turtle back up!

>>33236356
Wait, if we're loyal to Sea Mom, and Axe Girl is out Good Clone, does that mean she has the patronage of Land Dad?

>>33236429
Maybe she did but it isn't important.
>>33235701
Also we can grow giant sized.

>>33236487
>>Stay on her! Just hit her hard and fast and keep her off balance!

>Save up for something big and take her out in one strike!

>Save up for something big and take her out in one strike!
That's how this stuff works, right?

>>33236487
>Save up for something big and take her out in one strike!
Throw down a glow stone to blind her and her bears and then set her up for a light lance.

>>33236487
pick up her jewels and use them for yourself! Conversion or something !

>>33236487
>>Stay on her! Just hit her hard and fast and keep her off balance!
Shax is good at keeping Axe Girl off balance.

>>33236487
USE MASK

>>33236487
>Stay on her! Just hit her hard and fast and keep her off balance!

>>33236488
I don't think Good Clone is appropriate.

We're alignment Evil Good. So she's probably Good Evil.

>>33236487
>>Save up for something big and take her out in one strike!

>>33236487
>Save up for something big and take her out in one strike!

Try to bait her into using a really big attack and teleport behind her to dodge it and counter attack.

>>33236487
>Stay on her! Just hit her hard and fast and keep her off balance!
Become huge, dominate fight. Maybe try and pull some fancy juke attack where we start swinging and teleport to invert the attack as she gets her guard up.

>>33236540
I like this idea, stealing the jewels seems very gobliny.

>>33236487
>Stay on her! Just hit her hard and fast and keep her off balance!

It's not a give-in that she's as far down her elemental paths as we are. Maybe she has breadth but less depth.

>>33237038

It's cute and matches my head canon.

>>33237334

She looks perfect to me! I don't think the war paint has ever been drawn anywhere by anyone, so it isn't exactly an issue at this point.

I think the three fingers thing is just two real close to each other.

draw a crystal turtle shell under her

A fight like this is decided in a single blow! You don't need to go all out just yet! Regaining her balance, Axe Girl strikes a pose again, "Now, are you ready, Shax! For my ultimate skill!" You lift a finger and shine some lasers in her eyes, "YEeaaaughwwahwhat the heck was that?!" She dropped her jewels again, which you notice because you instinctively follow the movement of all jewels. It's a goblin thing.

You wonder if you can use those? You dive under an axe swing, one that felt more like a test than anything else, roll along the ground, and scoop her gems up. Let's see what these babies can do.

"Ah! Wait! Those are mine, you common thief!" She actually reaches out like you're going to give them to her. "Hand those over this instant!" You just stick your tongue out at her. A shocked expression crosses her face, and she picks up her axe and charges at you. She's just yelling mixtures of 'uncouth' 'swine' 'trollish cave girl' 'filthy.'

Concentrating on the gems, you're uncertain of what you can do with them. You toss the darkness one out. There is a small burst of light and a tiny lizard pops out of a cloud of smoke, lands on the ground and skitters off. Well, that wasn't particularly useful. A nice party trick, though?

Might as well use up her other gem! You toss the ice one right at her. A glittery powder comes out and covers her in really tacky looking glitter, causing her to sputter a bit. Oh... This might be your chance? You put a hand on your belt buckle, pressing a button there and teleport behind her. She glances back just in time for your sword to come down at her. "Wait I'm not do-" And that's that for her!

Or you thought it was. You cut through some sorta ice double? A dark essence leaks out of it, and forms not to far away. Axe girl staggers a bit, propping her self up with her axe, and coughs out a weird dark ichor. Whatever trick she used seems to have some serious side effects!

>>33237844
She was actually a hell of a lot more impressive this time. She even pulled off some clever tricks despite our amazing dice. This was probably one of the most drawn out fights of this quest.
