I mean the whole idea is that normal healing doesn't work because anything that strengthens one of her immune systems also strengthens the other. I cannot imagine her demonic immune system being strengthened by divine healing. And using like 30 DE for a single healing might even do something cool.

Let's start preparing to heal her. We have less time than we thought

>>34013929
The doctors said that would have an unknown effect and might be risky; they discouraged us from trying it.
Just so you know, I'm not saying it's necessarily bad, just risky.
And I'd rather not take risks with our sister's health.

>>34013758
>teleport to elemental node

>>34013833
I'm in complete agreement anon. I really have no interest in dirtying ourself if we don't absolutely have to. And even then... Well I'm not thrilled at the idea.

>>34013758
>Go after her, start preparing to heal her up.

You follow Ellahi outside and catch up to her just as she’s about to step into a steam carriage “Wait” you say “Let me try and heal you.”

“I’ll be back this afternoon” says Ellahi, turning to climb into the ‘carriage.

>Ok, I’ll see you later then (let her go)
>Try healing her anyway, out here
>Talk her into coming back inside to discuss things

>>34014022

>>34014022

>I'll see you later then. Please take care of yourself. (let her go)

>>Ok, I’ll see you later then (let her go)
She still got her own business to take care of.

>>34014022
>>Ok, I’ll see you later then (let her go)

Have the doctors on standby. If this doesn't work they might need to do their thing immediately after. (I won't want our dirty power back, though. Not before our goddess or someone else has purified it.

>>34014022
>ok, I'll see you later then

Dammit. At least let's try this first
>>34013929

>>34013985
She's got two weeks before the damage becomes irreversible, and that might be revised down to one week or less if we go do the other tasks.
It shot down from a year to 2 weeks in the space of a month, after all.
We can always get rid of the demonic essence by casting Heaven's Rebirth on ourself, assuming we take it back.

IIRC, you agreed that we would do the ritual instead of trying to get HR if her health took a turn for the worse.
Well, it did.

>>34014076

Well, okay, but where do you want to store it? I'm not thrilled about idea of risking our Mystery Box with it. Plus we would be weakened, which could thwart our plan to breach the barrier.

I guess we still have some Mystery Box researching to do in either case.

>>34014135
Maybe we should read that book about binding.
I mean, since demons have essence instead of a proper soul, it might let us 'bind' our discarded, demon-warped essence.

“Ok, I’ll see you later then” you say. Ellahi climbs into the ‘carriage without another word. It leaves, you stand and watch it go.

If we get that super weapon working, we could jsut go and kill the Demon Lords already, instead of wasting time with brewing a revolution.

What I don't get is the sudden "I only have two weeks left. You have to decide now!" thing. I get being off. But it went from years to days, thats like two orders of magnitudes! Has someone poisoned her? Can we really trust her doctors? Can we really trust HER? Didn't our goddess tell us she would lie to us, even if we could trust her intentions?

>>34014107
First off we have no guaranty that HR works on us.
Secondly, the prognosis could also be revised in the other direction.
Also I am allowed to change my mind lol

>>34014173
>read book on binding.
It might help

>>34014228
The revolution isn't the most necessary part for overthrowing the demon lords, it's making sure that the demonic army can be defeated and this world doesn't turn into another 100 kingdoms.
The super weapon was also made by a kingdom of pure hubris, it might not work at all and they just assumed "well, because *we* made it, it'll surely work!".

>>34014243

Well, she did lie to us that she's doing fine and there's no need to hurry.

>>34014243
That has occured to me as well. It would be most beneficial for her to lie to us and make us jump to help healing her. Just because she is our ally does not mean we can trust her, especially when she stands to gain much by lying to us.

>>34014243
She said we could trust her intentions, though not everything she said.
It doesn't mean she *will* lie to us, just that she might deceive us, but never with bad intentions.
If she is lying about how much worse her health has gotten, I'm sure she'll confess once the guilt starts eating her worse than her disease ever did.

It could also have been talking about Ellahi flattering us to get in our pants, who knows.

>>34014350
Mathrian, you're being too fluffy.

>>34014350

Except she's playing part of a strong girl and we had to press her into revealing her state, which she's clearly pissed at.
I suppose it could be that she pretends to be sick pretending to be strong so that she manipulates us better, but that would stretch what Velya told us about her intention to the very limit. I don't think she's trying to manipulate us into this.

>>34014373
>the guilt starts eating her worse than her disease ever did.
And why would that happen? She genuinely thinks we should save her life for what she considers a small or no loss. We even somewhat agreed and are only stalling for time. She is probably afraid we might leave never to be seen if she doesn't get us to help her now.

>>34014404
What part of masterful manipulator that claims to even be better than an age old demon lord specialized in such things do you not understand? Of course she is not telling us lies out-right and obvious (if indeed she does at all). Dropping hints, playing coy and letting us search for the answers is far more effective.

>>34014173
>Visit Gulkil
We're on a time limit, have to get these tasks completed.

You spend the rest of the day reading the book on binding and summoning. Some of the book deals with non-demon entities: such as elementals and angels, but most of it focuses on demons.

The book describes in details spells on summoning and binding magical being (Planar Binding spell, and variants) as well as the best methods of summoning specific types on entities and ways to ensure their cooperation – what they fear, which bribes work best etc.

On Demon Lords it requires the sorcerer be able to cast the most powerful binding spells available (Major Planar Binding, Sorcery 5) and explains specific ways the spell can be modified to force a demon lord to appear, and how to ensure his obedience. The book comes with cautions – reading into it it seems that the ritual may not work, or may summon the demon lord but not control him. It is at best, a tricky proposition.

On half-demons it describes ways to summon them as if they were full demons. The book doesn’t explicitly say so, but the same principles could be applied to summoning half-angels too. Using these techniques on anyone less than 50% magical creature is unlikely to work however.

On demonic essence it describes a lot of ways to extract and utilise demonic essence in spells, rituals and crafting magical items. With this knowledge you could *save* any tainted energies in a pre-prepared vessel (such as a bottle) until you were ready to use them. You could also use them to make a magical item.

It doesn’t describe how to purify such energies however, the closest it comes is talking how to imbue them into a mortal without killing them – which gives you another place to store such energies at least.

You’ve almost finished the book when you hear the front door slam and Angelique murmurs by your head “The mistress has returned.”

>>34014508

I'm not saying it's not a possibility, just that I find it unlikely and not in line with words of our own goddess.
Besides, it's not as if we had any better idea on healing her, with exception of pouring some divine magic.

>>34014587
How is that girl so stealthy?

You go and visit Ellahi in her study, she’s unpacking her bag, and looks tired.

>How’d your day go?
>Ready to talk without yelling yet?
>I want to try healing you
>Your disease suddenly leapt from years to weeks, did the doctors say why?
>Other

>>34014508
She's not a sociopath, Velya confirmed that she's a good person; there's no way her angel sister sacrificing part of herself to heal her wouldn't result in some guilt, if she is indeed deceiving us.

It's possible that she's doing that, but I don't think she is.
You also seem to have gotten off track, I don't need to prove she *isn't* lying, you need to prove she *is*.
You have no evidence other than your own suspicions.

>>34014605

>>Ready to talk without yelling yet?

>>34014605
>Ready to talk without yelling yet?

>I want to do the procedure.

>>34014605

I don't think she wants any lip from us.

>>34014666
>angel sister sacrificing part of herself
Which we are not doing. We will get everything back that we lend her. It will just be coloured by her energy. Which we might consider bad, but for is literally her own life-force. She most likely doesn't think we will be harmed by it. There is no reason to feel guilty.

I do not need to prove anything but that it is a distinct and probable possibility. For that I have argued that a) She is a manipulator at heart. b) Our goddess said she would lie to us. c) She has a lot to gain from this lie. d) She has no reason not to lie to us, other that fear of getting caught. She knows we would help her anyway, this would only accelerate this process. and e) She doesn't necessarily consider it a morally wrong lie.

That should be enough to look into it. Nothing more do I want.

>>34014605

>With this knowledge you could *save* any tainted energies in a pre-prepared vessel (such as a bottle) until you were ready to use them.

Hell, we could even make a badass halberd or suit of plate mail with the energies.

“How’d your day go?” you ask

“Fucking stupid politicians” she grouses, pulling files out and flinging them across her desk “Fucking stupid, short-sighted, only care about the next election idiots.”

“Not good then?” you say

She takes a deep breath, and slumps in a comfy chair, looking exhausted “Yeah” she says.

“Ready to talk without yelling yet?” you ask.

“Meh” she says “Too tired to yell, don’t care.”

Angelique comes in with the bottle of green liquid.

“I want to try healing you” you say “first with my divine power and then, if that doesn't work, with the ritual.”

“If it stops from taking any more of this crap” she says, taking two spoonfuls of whatever it is “Blechk, sure, let’s give it a try.”

“Did doctors say anything more about their revised diagnosis?” you ask

“Just bullshit” she says “Pointless justification about how much they don’t know, and Venkman gave me a made up theory about revenants. He also tried to talk me into telling you not to try and use your magic to heal me.”

Not I. Where does that idea come from?

>>34014899
Now that's interesting. I want to know more about that justification. Also revenants. If she wants to relax we can discuss this with the doctors alone while she naps until we take her to try and heal her.

>>34014899
>"Sounds to me like your doctors are just trying to milk you of your dosh while they still can."
>Ok, let's go down to your workshop.

>>34014962
Oh, whoops, your opening sentence looked like you were advocating putting the altered essence back into ourselves when I first read it.
Upon second inspection, it doesn't actually say anything like that, just that the essence would be changed by her, not what we'll do with it.
My apologies for the insinuation.

“Why shouldn’t I try to use my magic to heal you?” you ask

“Dr Hoskins thinks it might harm me, or make the disease worse” she says “But he at least admits he’s not sure.”

“Revenants?” you ask

“Oh they’re a thing” says Ellahi “like one-in-a-thousand half-demons rise from the grave, becoming mindless, full demonic monsters that have to be put down.”

“The popular theory is that when the mortal part of them dies, the demonic essence doesn’t leave the corpse, dunno if that’s true” she says “But Dr Venkman claims that almost everyone who has my disease becomes a revenant.”

She laughs “But get this, he claims that revenants aren’t mindless, they’re intelligent, like, like a parasite, and all this talk of a cure has spurred the disease on to try to kill me quicker, since it sees you as a threat or something,”

She lays back in her chair, almost horizontal “Total bullshit” she says.

>Let’s try healing you
>I want to talk to the doctors first
>Other

>>34015111
>Purge the demon and heal the human.

>>34015111

If we're going with trying the divine healing, we should try small dose first and have the doctors ready if it does make the disease worse.
Maybe we could try praying before as well...

>>34015111
Now that's more plausible.
>Get the doctors on standby
>Try healing her
I wish we had some sort of targeted damage spell and a way to find parasitic entities maybe something like
>True Seeing
Would that let us look at her disease? Or see any other funky things?

>>34015160
We already consulted our goddess on this matter, but sure, why not?

>>34015111
>I want to talk to the doctors first
Yeah, they should definitely be present before we do anything.

>>34015149
She quite explicitly stated she doesn't want to be human, unless you just mean killing the magical parasite thing.

>>34015193
Oh, and talk to the doctors first.

>>34015194
But not on how overpowered healing would affect her. Might be worth a shot.

>>34015219

Well alternatively we could use Dream to communicate with a priestess if we don't want to bother Velya personally.
On that note, we're slacking with starting that church we kinda promised her.

>>34015259
True. Had I not left for several hours I would have suggested using the Jal/Sofia situation to gain more followers. We did help them with the teachings of our goddess after all.

>>34015259
I don't think a priestess would have knowledge of this kind of thing, it's a really rare set of circumstances we're in.
We haven't talked to Velya in a month, I really doubt she'll be mad.

We asked her about it and her opinion on it, we never promised. I can't even recall whether she actually wanted us to start the religion or said it wasn't a good time.
Also, y'know, demon infested literal-hellhole, not really a lot of room to grow a religion when most people have demons as neighbors and the gods can't speak to mortals properly.

“I’m ready to try healing you” you say “But not without the doctors present, just in case.”

“You’re in luck” she says “They’ll be here in a couple of hours, time for my weekly check-up.”

You wait for a while and chat with Ellahi, seems she’s had a rough day, and the disease and the medicine she’s taking for it make her feel terrible, hence the short temper.

Eventually the good doctors arrive. After they’ve examined Ellahi you tell them you intend to try healing her with your own powers first.

“I really advise against that-” starts Dr Hoskins, before Dr Venkman talks over him.

“Absolutely not!” he says “You’re not a doctor and you have no idea what you’re doing, I forbid it!”

“Isn’t that my choice?” says Ellahi, putting her clothes back on after the examination.

>Why is this a bad idea?

>Why is this a bad idea? No offense doctor, but how can you know how divine healing even works?
I'm not sure, did we heal Gendric with divine powers? It works fine on him, no?
>About that Revenant theory Dr Venkman, can you tell me more?

>>34015373
>>About that Revenant theory Dr Venkman, can you tell me more?
>>I’m healing her anyway

But firt try healing with a single DE point, then try againw ithe verythin.

“Why is this a bad idea?” you ask.

The two doctors exchange a look, Dr Hoskins sighs and says “What little we’ve been able to discover about divine healing suggests that it heals the entire patient; that it cannot be directed to tackle specific injuries or illnesses, our concern is that although your healing may extend Ellahi’s time, it cannot completely cure her, because the disease is part of her.”

“To eradicate it you would need to try and eradicate her entire demonic half – a fatal experience for her, I’m sure. In short, it is because your power is so all-encompassing, it is imprecise.”

“About that Revenant theory Dr Venkman, can you tell me more?” you say

“I can” he says, drawing himself up for a lecture.

“Just the short version” says Ellahi.

He deflates a little “fine, fine, well, as you may know, some of the Blood rise from the dead, these so-called revenants are destroyed in short order, but” he says “They are not mindless, there have been countless cases of them not attacking former loved ones, even defending them upon occasion. I believe that Ellahi’s illness is a manifestation of demonic essence that seeks its own existence. It is intelligent, or at least, intelligent enough to respond to threats, which is why her disease has progressed so rapidly.”

“Not the best I’ve heard” says Ellahi “sounds like you want more money”

Dr Venkman bristles “Young lady you have paid me well for my services and so I am giving you the best advice I can, I am the best in my field, and although the theory is not-well known I assure you that it is backed by the most rigorous of scientific-”

“What me esteemed colleague is saying” interrupts Dr Hoskins “Is that this procedure carries risks, and the disease is unpredictable, we advise against anything other than the procedure we have prepared. At the very least, let us prepare the procedure as a back-up.”

>>34015693
“I say let’s give it a try” says Ellahi “and ignore these two.”

You spend some tme praying to Velya, eventually she answers, though her voice is faint.

“My champion” she says “What can I help you with?”

“I’m considering healing Ellahi” you say “Should I?”

“You must do as your conscience dictates” she responds

“What about the risks?” you ask

“Both your power and the doctors plan have risks” she says “Either could kill Ellahi, either could work. Yours might accelerate the diseases progression and release the demonic essence within her; theirs might transform you when they return the energies to you.”

“So the revenant theory is right?” you ask

“Yes” she says “though it’s more complex than the Dr thinks, I don’t have time to explain it all, suffice to say that you must cure Ellahi before you kill the Ruler.”

“If I heal her, what will happen?” you ask

“At best, she will be fully human” says Velya “Though you might simply extend her life rather than truly curing her.”

>I have other questions (what?)
>That’s all for now

>>34016140

>Is there a way to purify myself if I submit to the Doctor's procedure?

>>34016140
>“At best, she will be fully human”
Ellahi quite explicitly stated she doesn't want that, so that plan is out I guess.
>"Is there a way to purify the altered essence from the procedure?"
We aren't taking the essence back, we're keeping it in a jar made using the knowledge in the book of binding.

>>34016140
>Thank the nice lady. That was all we needed to know.
Well. We don't want to turn her into a human. We do want to extend her life. What to do, what to do……

>>34016140

>Will Ruler gain advantage over me if I'm transformed by the demonic essence?
>>34016182
Or this. Although ask about the essence instead. We can store it in a jar, remember?

>>34016140
>Dr

Please, don't abreviate a title when it's not needed or followed by the person's name.

>>34016258

Well, goddess herself says the doctors' plan is legit, and their understanding of divine healing correct. I say we go through with the procedure.

>>34016258
I'd rather just do the ritual and keep the energy in a jar until we decide to either make it into a magical item or try and purify it.
It seems like accidentally turning her human would piss her off to a huge degree, especially if we don't tell her that's a risk, and the life extension would be pretty short compared to truly curing the disease.

>>34015883
I'm precedes because even if we don't take it back its still a loss and will reduce our powers in some way and we have no idea what will happen as far as the exact loss when it comes to not taking back our power. We've already discussed how this option in general was a trap and for multiple threads we've been trying to find ways of going about it other than sacrificing ourself or letting her die. So it also feels like a loss in that way.

"Is there a way to purify the altered essence from the procedure?" you ask “Or me, if my energies are returned to me.”

“Yes” she says “Though they will have less chance of working whilst you are on a lost prime.”

“Will Ruler gain advantage over me if I'm transformed by the demonic essence?” you ask

“No” she says “Though it is possible Ellahi may.”

“Thank you my Lady” you say, and end the connection.

>Try healing Ellahi
>Too risky, don’t

The Doctors Procedure
>Prep it as a back-up, just in case
>Ellahi’s right, forget them

>>34016457
>see if it's possible to do it later.

We need all our powers for now, no?

>>34016444
It's not a loss if we reabsorb it directly, just a change.
If we keep it in a jar, we can make a magical item of equivalent (or possibly greater due to Ellahi's contribution to the energy) power to whatever we lose.
If we purify it, we get all the power back.
I'd rather be weakened in the short-term than risk letting our sister die.

>>34016457
>Too risky
She doesn't want to be human, and that solution is temporary even if it doesn't do that.
>Prepare a vessel for them to store the changed essence, then do the procedure.

hmm.

Regardless, our options are limited, and this offers best chances for best outcome.

Store the essence inna jar.
Bonus point if it's a metallic container labelled "spinach"

>>34016457
>Too risky, don't
>Prep it up!
Any demon life force we get will be temporary.

>>34016525

Well, the main thing that we would need to be at full power for is defeating the demon lords, and our Goddess just flat out told us we have to cure Ellahi before we defeat the Ruler.

>>34016444
*I'm uneasy


>>34016457
Try healing
A little. I say we play for time now and see if we can increase her lifespan.


>>34016539
I agree for the most part. However ellahi means nothing to me. She is a rebel and is useful in changing this world. I do not like her though. Her being our 'sister' means nothing. I'll remind you she set up the murder of her entire family, for good reason I might add.

>>34016599
Yeah, and we can get cured when we stop by at our home plane before we tackle the task of taking out the demon lords.

>>34016678
She may betray family, but Sireyi doesn't.

“I think we’ll go with the good doctors plans” you say when you return after praying.

“Spoilsport” says Ellahi.

“Very well” says Dr Hoskins, “We’ll prepare”

They spend an hour preparing in Ellahi’s workroom, giving you plenty of time to ritually prepare a vessel for the returned essence. Ellahi gives you a sturdy metal tube to keep it in.

Eventually the doctors are ready, they have you lay down, side by side on a pair of tables, Gendric is in the room with them. They begin casting their spells, and you pass out.

What did you tell them to do with the essence once the procedure is complete?

>Return it to me, the last place they use the essence is Ellahi’s body (look like Ellahi)
>Return it to me, the last place they use the essence is Ellahi’s mind (think like Ellahi)
>Return it to me, the last place they use the essence is Ellahi’s soul (gain powers like Ellahi)
>Disperse it
>Put it in the tube
>Put it in a person (who?)

She's not just useful, she's the lynchpin of the *entire* rebellion.
She dies, the whole things falls apart, even if we kill the demon lords it'll just throw the planet into chaos with milllions of deaths and an end result of turning the empire into another 100 kingdoms, ones ruled by demons.
Essentially, how Gorim was? Multiply that by about twenty and that's the *entire world* even if we kill the demon lords without our sister's help.

She's also our family, and she needs our help.

>Put it in a tube

>>34016678

>her entire family
her entire family were backstabbing assholes that turned Sofia's kingdom over to demons and planned to use her in their political games.
I'd say she turned out pretty well considering circumstances she was raised in.

>>34016722
There was this one time Sireyi betrayed her family for personal gain, but then her aunt tanned her hide with a switch.

>>34016939
I don't get it.

>>34016978

I think he's referring how some people want to get dispersed in the garden after cremation.

>>34016722
Not sacrificing part of yourself for dimensional opposite you = betrayal

Suuure.

>tube
Alright, I can't keep up with the replies from my phone. Anyway its not a big deal. It's a simple disagreement over the importance of family Cus family. Basically in my opinion her being our 'sister' doesn't mean anything.

>>34017004
I'd rather have my ashes shot into space on one of those probes that they shoot to the edge of the solar system, or to another star system.
Maybe thrown into an active volcano, or attached to a weight and sunk to the bottom of the ocean...

>>34017020
We still love you Mathrian, even if we don't agree with you about this one thing.

And there are plenty of reasons to help Ellahi other than the family angle.

>>34016843
>Return it to me, the last place they use the essence is Ellahi’s soul (gain powers like Ellahi)

Rolled 5, 11 = 16

You come round slowly, you look over at Ellahi, she’s sleeping but looks peaceful.

“Congratulations” says Dr Hoskins as you wake up “The operation, was a success. We’ll need to perform regular checks upon Ellahi of course to be sure, but we think we’ve eliminated all of the disease. I don’t mind telling you, it really seemed like it was fighting back there at the end.”

He nods at the metal tube sat on a bench “that’s yours I believe.”

You feel weak, like parts of you have been removed.

[You no longer have the following Angel powers; Angels Magic 3 (reduced to 2) and Angels Voice 1 (removed)]

You sleep through the night, as does Ellahi. The metal tube sits on your bedside table.

The next morning over breakfast, she seems her...normal self, sat there in only her underwear, trying to make your companions uncomfortable.

“Sireyi” she says, leaping up as you enter, she runs over and kisses you on both cheeks “I’m so glad you’re awake, come, sit and eat.”

“I really need to find a way to thank you properly” she says as you sit, giving you a sultry look “I’m sure I’ll think of something you’ll enjoy.”

“I’m sure you’ll want to rest for a while” she says.

Ah well, it could've been worse.

So, what exactly do you mean by 'removed'?
Just the first rank is removed and we could re-buy it or...

>Rest sounds good

>>34017204
I hope that's the exp loss you are rolling for.

I'm out for the night. Don't forget to play matchmaker for the fleshcrafter and the assassin. And don't forget to get the upgrades! My votes:
>Regeneration
If it let's us regenerate life-loss through spell-use faster. Otherwise:
>Bendable and flexible limbs
>Some chameleon skin
The first is awesome because it should help us against any blunt damage (you know like kids who can fall down all the time without breaking their arms until they grow older), as well has have some miscellaneous benefits when dancing or trying to squeeze through small openings. (Cuffs, small windows, what-have-you).
If that seems to be the losing option I'd would give my vote to the chameleon skin because it is awesome.

Have fun, thanks for the thread and don't kill anyone while I'm not here!

>>34017360

>I wish you quit looking at me like that, Ellahi.
>I'm just happy to see you well and sound.
>Rest sounds good. I'll rest by investigating that elemental node.

>>34017360
Oh, and don't forget to tell her that Jal should borrow a kinky book.

>>34017436

I'm sure Jal took advantage of the library and any other perks of the mansion on her own accord.

By the way, did we ever find out who that sorcerer on the airship sold us out to and who paid for our hotel?

>>34017405
Don't worry about missing too much.
OP said at the end of last thread that he'd only be running for another 3-4 hours, and that was about 3 hours ago.

>>34017436
We snatched a book like that out of Jal's hands earlier and put it back on the shelf.

>>34017531
Nope.
As far as I can tell there aren't any spoilers about it in the notes OP sent me either.
Though I'll admit, I've only given them a cursory glance thus far and would lie about spoilers.

>>34017360
>I'm just happy you're cured.
>I'm going to go see Gulkil today.
The tock is clicking, everyone!

>>34017590
We just cut off a part of our essence to heal someone.
We can take a day to relax.

>>34017616
We have already relaxed so much!
Let's not be a mooch and a lady who keeps her friends waiting.

“Rest sounds good” you say “Though I might go hunting an Elemental Node later. Please stop looking at me like that, Ellahi.”

She laughs, a throaty chckle “As you wish” she says. She’s still watching you, but with a more normal expression, and a smile.

“I'm just happy to see you well and sound.” You say “And if you really want to help, you could always lend Jal a book on sex magic – she’s been wanting to read one for a while.”

You time your comment just as Jal is taking a drink of juice – she sprays it across the table and starts coughing, as Sofia, Bokin and Gendric laugh.

“Dirty play” says Jal accusingly, wiping herself down.

You chuckle “All’s fair” you say, saluting her with your own glass.

And on that note the thread comes to an end.

Thank you for playing, and I hope you enjoyed it.

I’ll get some notes types up for Velya tomorrow. I apologise for any shitstorms I kicked off, it is not my intent to force my own views into the game.

I’ll be around for about 15 minutes for questions. If I miss your question, don’t worry, I’ll check the archive tomorrow.

Next thread in 12 hours – watch twitter for updates.

>>34017707
Does Velya have shitstorms as one of her domains?

>>34017707
So the Retractable Penis is only for pleasure and not for procreation?

>>34017707
If Bokin was having sex with Sireyi, and he took off his enchanted doohickey while inside her, and Sireyi started using her healing powers on the lower half of her body while this was happening, would her pussy forever be shaped only for Bokin's dick?

>>34017707
Thanks for running pally. BTW, ill probably be mostly lurking since phone posting is a bitch.

>>34017707
I'd appreciate it if you could answer my questions here (>>34017390), though given how the rules sheet is looking, they weren't lost forever.

Also, what was wrong with my ability suggestion at the end of last thread, in particular?
I'm assuming it got rejected, given that it's not in the rules sheet.
I'd want to know for the future, and in case I want to submit a better version in the future.

>>34017707

Cheers for the thread OP. Was awesome as always.

don't worry about that, I'm pretty sure the 'offended' people were just trolls. If someone genuinely cared about Velya's stances on political topics, they would probably just raise an eyebrow and comment how strange or fitting it was rather than blurting out wild accusations.

>>34017707

Can we have some more magic realm please?

>>34017846
>Repeating myself in the same sentence
Dammit brain, why didn't you catch that?

>>34017834
>>34017774
>>34017901
You're all terrible.
Assuming you're actually different people.

I really hope OP doesn't re-add the custom job options, none of the regulars voted on it and chargen anon only made one request at the beginning of that bit...

>>34017707

You know, I think that communicating with Velya could be more cryptic. Well, your deities are rather talkactive, I'm not used to this.

Could also be lewder, too. She is Velya, afterl all. Sereyi could always find her mind teleported to a harem lounge while talking to her agoddess, or something.

>>34017921

Chargeanon was shit for picking the chastest option. It made Sereyi much more boring than she should be.

>>34018026
He worked through a bullshit wall of chargen and made a character that wouldn't turn this quest into blatant mindless smut quest #4, none of his decisions were wrong.

That's also a personal attack and not actually defeating the argument, it doesn't even address the most important point!

>>34017744
Not naturally, no, but if anything in her doctrine or portfolio is objectionable to players, it could trigger one.

>>34017774
A penile attachment via flesh-sculpting would be fertile

>>34017834
No it would heal naturally over time (or with healing magic) to its original shape/dimensions, like any other scar.

>>34017846
Removed abilities are removed permanently from the character sheet, unless re-purchased with XP or you re-absorb the portion of your energies you lost.

I'm sorry, I missed have skipped over your ability suggestion, I do apologise, would you mind re-posting it?

>>34017901
Player agency is key, if enough people vote for it, I'll see what I can do. I refer you back to my guarantee in early threads though.

>>34017944
I'll think about having Velya (and other gods) being more cryptic. Asking her to make decisions for you already gets a "you must choose" answer.

Unless you're asking a question she can't answer, or that would railroad the players, I see no reason to be cryptic save to keep plot-details hidden.

The gods are chatty because currently you're Velya's only paladin (that you know of) and because you've got an important artefact of Konigs (as well as his mortal descendent).

Mazon and Yerra wouldn't pay you any attention.

As for Velya being lewd: she certainly can be, but she's also your Goddess and respects your choice to be chaste so far. She may crank up the sexual content if Sireyi starts getting laid.

Doing it now would feel like too much of an abuse of power.

Ellahi pls.

>>34018067
>blatant mindless smut quest

I hardly think that could happen, considering how crunchy this quest is.

>chargen

Anyone could have worked throught chargen. You were just too lazy to do it yourselves.

>>34018095
Can you post a link to the Great Fairy Theme whenever we're chatting up oir goddess?

>>34018095
Here's a direct copy-paste of the power suggestion:

Power Suggestion:
>Seraphic Dragon - Applies Sireyi's angelic nature to her draconic transformation. Requires Aspect of the Dragon 3. 12XP, but can be purchased with AXP and GXP. Can be used in conjunction with any dragon aspect transformations. Doubles Arcane Energy cost of the transformation. Removes Acid resistance gained from the transformation. Gain resistance to demonic weapons and magic. Increases Magical resistance gained. +4 agility in normal size, Negates agility penalties from the huge size, halves agility penalties from massive size. Acid breath weapon is replaced with a Smite breath weapon for the duration of the transformation. Physical attacks do bonus damage to evil creatures. Fully compatible with Angelic abilities such as Halo. Physical appearance is pic related without the gold ornamentation and an equivalent number of wings to the natural angelic wings Sireyi's developed.
You may want to change the description to be...better; I just wanted to get all the key points about what I'd want it to do.
Also feel free to totally ignore me, change around how the power works or alter the XP cost, just please keep the physical description mostly intact if you do change it.

>>34018121
And yet, nobody did.
The quest was going completely neglected, the one other guy there in the first thread was too lazy to do it.
If OP's thread 404'd, he might've gotten too discouraged to continue trying and then nobody'd be able to quest.
He did a good job, regardless of whether you disagree with one decision.
If you keep bitching about it and trying to change it in such a weird and blatant way, you're no better than Shorty.

>>34018095
>As for Velya being lewd: she certainly can be, but she's also your Goddess and respects your choice to be chaste so far. She may crank up the sexual content if Sireyi starts getting laid.

At this rate, never....

Well, if Sereyi wants to get closer to her goddess one day, I don't see why she wouldn't show her lewder sides. Of course, not hitting on her paladin, as that could be abusive if the MC is still chaste then.

Also, does marrying her do anything? She ran from her noble life and joined the church. Is she still an heir to her family's titles and lands? Have her parents had another child to replace?

Does vigi ity even mean anything to nobility?

>>34018243
>*virginity

Typo, sorry.

I mean, everyone expects her to have already done something lewd, since she is the paladin of Velya. Whoever marries her will be expecting it too.

>>34018223
Nice, I like it, added to my to-do list - expect it to appear in rules pastebin at some point.

>>34018243
Sireyi has several half-siblings (fully human) who are expected to inherit.

She would only inherit lands and a title if all her close family died.

Virginity is prized by some nobles more than others, it depends on their religious beliefs - some make it a prerequisite of marriages, others don't.

I forgot the pic.

Here's the picture that's supposed to help describe the physical appearance.

>>34018368
Do virgin-birthed people get bonus powers?

>>34018161
I don't know what Great Fairy Theme is, so probably not.

>>34018413
Thanks

>>34018445
Wasn't planning on it

>>34018470
The great fairy is a character from N64 era Legend of Zelda games.
She's basically the most terrifying possible transvestite and wears no actual clothing.
Always appears with a laugh I still hear in my nightmares, sometimes.

Why is Velya against incest? What if siblings love themselves very much? What if they don't know they are related?

>>34018566
Velya isn't necessarily against incest, but some of her followers may not be okay with it either from their own feelings on it or the possible shame it would bring them.

>>34018566
>love themselves
I think you mean 'love each other'.
I also don't know why allowing abortion in the event of incest automatically means she's against it in your mind.
I mean, what if the pregnancy is accidental or there are extenuating circumstances, such as one family member taking advantage of another in such a way that it's not technically rape.
It's not like her (non-existent except for us) paladins go around punching any woman pregnant with an incest baby in the uterus or anything; if they love each other then it's fine and they can raise the baby.

>>34018470
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_hIwMkGd9w

>>34018702

Accidental pregnancy is not rape, dangerous or impossible to result in healthy birth. So no abortion there.

>taking advantage of another

No, that's still rape. If you mean something like...someone got drunk, or something, that doesn't seem to excuse abortion either. Killing the fetus just because you made a mistake? Fuck you bitch, you better raise that baby.

>>34018566
Well, this has taken a strange yet arousing turn.

>>34018836
I'm too tired to actually debate with you properly, so I'm just going to state my stance on incest and let you disagree or agree with that instead.

Incest is only okay if both participants love each other and there's not any 'the hills have eyes' bullshit going on.

>>34018566
Just relax, as long as the QM does not attempt to push her values again, this is completely unimportant.
Fuck that shitstorm, I dislike blaming anyone but this was clearly QM's fault this time leaving that fucking bait.

>>34018566
and the shitstorm continues
fuck you pally and fuck you too

>>34019157
It was pretty damn innocuous, at least to me.
I really don't get why such a statement automatically means they're pushing their values, I mean, it was spoilered at least.
Maybe the QM just posted the first two 'bad sex things' they could think of and they were betrayed by their brain and didn't proofread that part of their post much?
For example, I consider a lot of things in my magical realm to be bad sex things, but not all of them are really that bad, yet I still consider them all bad and leap to them when thinking of weird fetishes or bad sex things.

What I'm saying is, it might have just been a genuine misunderstanding and there was no real value-pushing going on.

I might also sound like a jackass, since I'm not really proofreading my own posts here.
