Going out of the dungeon, Grummir takes us to the market so he can sell the loot and split things evenly between party members.

After discounting your new chainmail suit (which gives you +12 Armor, btw), Grummir gives you 370 silver coins (roughly 1/3 of a gold coin).

Your new armor costs 1 gold and 600 silvers, however, so keep it or sell it.

You bid farewell to your party members and explain them that you have things to do every other day so you won't be around tomorrow, but will be around the after that.

They feel it is regrettable, but you were a great help so they look forward to seeing you the day after tomorrow.

Let's keep the armor; we're going to need SOME armor in our dungeon diving.

We need to hide our new armor and loot.
Mom would have a fit if she found out we're dungeon diving.

We should invent chess if there isn't.

Hide the loot, no need to worry mom.

>>34788988
It's only temporary, tho. Still need races, more info on nonbasic jobs, spell lists, descriptions of the weapon tricks, etc etc

>>34788990
It would be medium armor since any armor that covers everything its heavy and mithril kicks it one weight class down. As nobles we have armor proficiency with all armor types anyway, tho.

We pass time by level grinding.
We need to raise at least 200 gold to buy our friend's freedom, and that's only if her owners decide not to hold for the three years that would make her ten times more valuable.

Anyone notice how Cooks also get an extra item box slot per level?
Or the fact that we should get Paladin when we can for that sweet damage reduction?

Guys, do you not realize that we currently have the chainmail shirt and over 300 silver coins that are NOT in an extradimensional inventory box live everyone else?

You arrive home to find that Elli and Lyann have been making soap all evening. The kitchen's table is covered with a few blocky, sweetly scented soap bars, but then they got creative and made star, moon, and flower shaped luxury soap using cookie molds.

"Oh, thanks Hêven you are alright! how did it go?" -Elli checks you thoroughly for wounds and bruises

"Eldric, I still can't believe you did that! but how was it!?" -your friend Lyann is wearing one of Elli's aprons. It looks way too large for her, but she looks rather adorable on it.

btw Ranger gives you 1 (one) Item slot, JSYK.
I really dont see the big problem, tho. Elli has 3 item slots, and Lyann has 10

***

You tell them about the dungeon in detail. Lyann is thoroughly impressed, but Elli just listens carefully all the way to the end.

"It sounds like your group is taking their time... I guess it's fine, but next time please wear your armor, young master... wait, actually, can you wear your armor and use magic at the same time?"

You can, actually, nobles have a rather big advantage in that sense. Even if you werent taking multiple jobs, your noble class gives you armor proficiency.

You help them pack away the first soaps into crates, which Lyann stores away on her Item Box to take and sell later in the market.

"I would feel better if we went together, Eldric." -she says while looking a bit dejected

she is no where near as strong as us now right? we cant risk that

>>34789559

I'm worried... if we bring her with us and power leveling her are we actually increasing the cost of purchasing her?

Wouldn't this make everything harder?

I think so.
People can get their levels appraised at a church, and one of the reasons that Lyann's price is set to go up is because her Wizard job level will have increased by then.

Her magic is about as strong, but her hp is a lot less. Also, btw, I restored our bonus points since the system update changed our stats considerably and you guys may want to reconsider how to use the points.

"Next year we'll start going down into the school dungeon up to floor 3, right? we will do that together, I promise!"

"Alright... but you better remember that." -she says, somewhat bothered by how reasonable and mature her little friend is

"Please go play outside, I need to clear the kitchen and prepare dinner before your mother arrives, young master." -Elli kicks you both out of the kitchen into the garden, gently.

It is still somewhat bright outside. Lyann looks at you, and you get an idea.

"Oh, do you know what chess is?" -you explain the rules to her, and carve some simple pieces out of soap bits...

"Eldric, that's amazing! we should sell sets at school!" -she isin't even mad about losing much more often than she wins

***
It just ocurred to me, why not change her class when we take her to a dungeon with us, then switching her back to wizard when she's appraised for purchase? not sure if its against QT rules for the GM to give ideas?

<-- want to use this for the races section

>>34789777

it's not against the rules if I like the idea.

>>34789777
that sounds like exactly something that someone like us would do to game the system, excellent.
my only concern is that does getting her level appraised show all her jobs or just active

She does get better at it quickly, however.

"Maybe we should get an artisan to carve the pieces. Dont you think we could make more money this way?" -she looks at a pawn. A shabby cone of soap

"Probably, but other than the people at the university, I dont think we'll sell that many sets, and there's no copyright laws in this world, right? we can't keep exclusivity on it once its out there."

"Copy right laws? like, for cheating at a exam?"

"Ah.. don't worry about it."

>Add chess sets to the money income. Will need an artisan to craft the pieces
We should ask Gummir about it. He's a level 25 Artisan, and we can share the profits with him.

>>34789777
>why not change her class when we take her to a dungeon with us, then switching her back to wizard when she's appraised for purchase?
Does turning off a class mean that we can't access those abilities anymore, or they simply don't get XP so we don't get their bonuses from leveling them?

Also, wouldn't it seem suspicious if her Slave level is high, but her Wizard level is low?
We'd have to turn both Slave and Wizard off, and turn on Villager.

Yes but you'd need to take her to a te... what am I saying... sure, you can switch her job, but will have to explain somehow how come you can do that. Also she doesnt has much mana, and making sets quickly will require mana. Otherwise she can make them by hand, the slow way

Eh, after we talk with Elli more in-depth about her peoples' traditions and superstitions, like why she was so afraid of us when we didn't cry as a baby.

>>34790076
actually its not a bad idea to switch her job. Its not as if there's a market for maid rangers, and if she starts leveling as artisan, she can make the soap faster too

>>34790110
Instead of us making the change, we could just suggest it to Mom and Elli that she could make the soap and chess pieces easier and faster as an artisan.
We've already learned that Job changes are done by Priests, so we could suggest that, instead of doing it ourselves.

But do we have to pay the Priest of the Job change?

Well looks like chess is a go.
Do you want Grummir or Elli to do it, tho? Grummir can make both the soaps and the sets very, very quickly. But you's have to megotiate giving him a cut.

<-- ughh i wonder if it would look better as a shillhouette

>>34790166

If we could have them both work on making soap that might increase overall productivity level greatly... but if we flood the market the value of the soap might drop significantly.

I'm down for having him make the chess sets.

Yes, but its just a nominal 3 gold. Its still enough to keep the peasants in their place most of the time, if you know what I meant

>>34790166
Suggest to Mom and Elli to have Elli go through a Job change to become an Artisan, and start making the soaps and chess sets.
It'll let us keep all the profit, and it'll help to level Elli.

Later, we could go to Grummir, once the chess sets become popular, with ideas for sets made of precious metals and gems to be sold to nobility.

>>34790166

Probably not that good
Grummir for the chess stuff, he probably has connections to make it go faster and better as well.
We'll focus on soapy stuff with Elli.

With or without the Job change?

Looks good to me, typing it

I love these character designs, but it would have been hell to make these as sillhouettes

maybe we should spill it about some of our ability... might make it easier to explain some stuff but we shouldnt just spill all our secrets

We should look into procuring a few levels in Monk or something like it. It'd probably do wonders for our physical stats and unarmed combat.

>>34790285
Funny that you mention that, I was thinking about making monk a "hidden job" you would unlock by beating a monster by punching them.

You escort Lyann to the soldiers' barracks, which she seems to find somehow complicated (being escorted by a child three years younger than her and knowing he's actually stronger than she is). She still gives you a smooch on the forehead and thanks you properly before you go.

Your mother is home when you arrive. She is in the kitchen with Elli, sitting at the table and looking at one of the star-shaped soaps when you arrive.

"Good evening, mom"

"Ah sweethear come here." -she picks you up and sits you on her lap as she hugs you from behind. "Your soaps are really pretty. Was it your idea to use the cookie molds?"

"I believe it was Lyann's"

"I see. But you still have to study and improve your magic, alright? I thought about it, and we could probably sell my armor to help gather the money."

"Your have an armor?"

"Yes, your father got it for me when we were adventuring together. It should be worth about 50 golds, maybe."

"Well, that will help a lot, but, listen, I had an idea..."

You explain to your mother and to Elli about changing her job from ranger to craftsmen to help with making the soaps. And if she can automate the process using magic, then there will be no problem using lye to make brand new soap insteaf of buying soap that is already prepared and improving it.

Elli seems to think about it for just a couple of seconds before nodding.

"That sounds like it would be much more useful around the house than being good with a bow." -she says with a smile

"Oh... you are right. We can certainly spare the gold for that. But I don't think Elli would have enough mana to make all the soap bars. Perhaps we can deal with some adventurers and buy a few cheap mana crystals... I'll go to the adventurer's guild tomorrow and see if I can find some."

"Ah...!"

>>34790886

"Alright Eldric. Mommy will leave it to her smart boy, then" -she squeezes you in a hug as she enjoys cuddling you

Later that night, you and Elli play around on the bath, having fun with one of the new scented soaps.

"Ah, it smells like the grasslands." -she says with a smile as she enjoys its scent on her arms.

Sadly, there's no shampoo on this world, and it would hurt your hair to wash it with soap regularly. You use some oils, instead.

There's some pangs of conscience at letting Elli think she's bathing with a child. Smart, sure, but still a child in her eyes.

***
Want to tell her you won't bathe with her anymore?
***

The next day, after school, you go with Lyann and Elli to the temple and get Elli changed from a ranger to a craftsmen. It is a fairly quick procress. The priest recites a few prayers and announts her forehead with oil, and it is done.

Indeed, you can see that she's now a level 1 craftsmen.

Your mana crystal only has 16 mana on it, so you need to purchase one with a more meaningful amount from someone at the Adventurer's Guild. Luckily, it looks like it takes a very small amount of mana each time Elli crafts someting using her new class ability (4mp) so you don't need to go for twoo expensive a crystal.

You have 1 gold, 870 silvers and 30 copper coins in total. A mana crystal costs 1 copper coin per each MP on it.
00
1 gold = 1000 silvers
1 silver = 1000 coppers

How much mana do you want to buy?

Are the mana crystals only recharged by killing monsters?
Can we channel mana into them, since our mana already recharges naturally?

>>34791204
How much mana do we need to make this soap?

>>34791204
As someone from the early 21st Century, we'd like to bathe every day, but people in this world probably only bathe once every three days.

As for telling her we won't bathe with her anymore, it's too soon. Wait for our body to catch up with our mind and Elli will say that we're too old for that on her own.

>>34791204
Spend 30 more silver to make it an even 400 mana.
370 would leave behind an odd amount of mana, since Elli uses 4MP per crafting.
Better to have an amount easily divisible by 4.

The mana crystal looks like a bubble with a little bit of liquid inside. It sparkles and shines whenever you shake it.

Once you hand it over to Elli, you make your way home.

Elli takes the soap bars, the oils and herbs, and tries to make them into luxury soaps... but it doesn't work.

"That may be too much at the same time. Try with just a few bars, fist" -you volunteer helpfully

Elli nods and tries with 5 bars at the same time. She wiggles her ears as she strains herself, but you can see that something is indeed happening!

The soap bars disappear together with some of the oils and herbs and instead some egg-shaped luxury soaps are left on the table.

"Oh, that's really handy." -says Lyann as she looks at the new soaps. "I think they're more soild than what we had been making."

"I guess, but I was going for star shapes."

"No, this is good. We can still make shaped soaps manually if we want to. We can sell those as a super luxury set." -you adventure firmly

***

>>34791288
4 mana = 5 soap bars. Each luxury soap is worth 6 silvers, so basically we take 1 silver and 50 coppers and make it into 30 silvers. So its a 1-to-30 profit, roughly. We bought 2 golds worth of soap so thats 30 gold from making them all into luxury soap bars... well, a liiittle but less counting the ones we are keeping for ourselves, and maybe a liiiittle bit more if we go with the super luxury set idea.

By the time the mana has run out, Elli has made 500 luxury soap bars, but she's sitting on a chair while Lyann waves a towel in front of her to give her air.

She looks completely exhausted and borderline unconscious.

"Well, it works, but I think she'll pop a vein if we try to make her transform all the crates left outside." -Lyann is gently fanning Elli while the elf girl just rests, completely exhausted.

"That's alright, at this speed, it should take us some six or seven months to make them all into scented soaps, but that's fine. Elli...?"

"Yes, young master?" -she says softly

"Do you think you could do ONE more thing for us, please?" -you ask gently while caressing her delicate looking right ear.

"Ah... uhmm..." -she looks as if she started to melt when you caress her ears- "...alright..."

You have her make you a set of wooden chess pieces. As it turns out, she has to make each piece individually, and she's thoroughly exhausted by the time that is done with.

She made a classical 16-pieces set, and a spare knight, rook and queen for each side to promote, plus the chessboard itself.

That means it costs 92 mana/silvers to make a set. You need to sell it for more than that to make a profit.

Elli is now unconscious over the table.

"That was too much." -Lyann covers her with a blanket.

With Lyann's help, carry Elli to her bed and tuck her in.
Then package up the soaps for sale.

Finally, do some magic studying with Lyann; we still have classes to attend, and while we're more experienced, that doesn't mean we're actually smart.

You surprise Lyann as you actually manage to carry Elli to her bed and make her comfortable.

Do you want to
* Take the new soap bars to the market
* Keep them for now and take the whole batch to the market when they are done
* Practice magic with Lyann in the garden
* Take the chesst set to the university.

Mom is a professor at the university, so she would be better able to find buyers (hopefully she won't come across as That Guy who brings his daughter's Girl Scout Cookies to work and pressures everyone to buy them).
Also Lyann will be better able to sell the soap, so we should let her sell it (since she can negate any 30% discount skill that traders would try on us).

>>34791937

Sorry, meant Elli.

Minor note, but we could probably free the slave by exchanging our ability to spend bonus points for the soldiers who own her. They'd probably appreciate getting instantly stronger

>>34791937
uhm? you want to change her class, then, or you meant Elli?

You make sure that Elli is comfortable in her bed, then let her rest as you step outside with Lyann.

You practice magic for the rest of the evening. Lyann tris to keep up with you, but your mana far exceeds her own.

After a while, she's just sitting on the grass as she watches you practice. You keep trying to mix fire into other spells...

"Eldric, uhmm... I haven't asked you. Why do you want to buy me?"

* I want you to be mine so you can come live with us and not have to worry about being sold to some ugly guy when you become 15
* You are my friend, and we are going to be friends forever!

btw i just realized, since we cant change social classes, if she becomes a villager, she will gain some skills, her attributes per level will change, and she will lose access to some slave-only jobs. Just throwing that out there.

Could do a "We'll marry when I'm an adult!" thing to keep er as a slave for a few more years so we can explore those jobs if we want to, and later switch her to villager, I guess. *shrugs* Up to you of course. It may just be an "I want to pay my own market cost" thing with her as well. Of course that market cost is gonna go through the clouds later on

I think its hilarious

Anyway, I think I got an answer based on the vibes im getting from everyone
***
"I'm going to buy you so you can stay with me forever. and that's that!" -you dclare confidently and naturally without turning to look at her

"Is-is that so?" -she says softly, as she blushes a bit, unsure about why she feels so nervous now when she looks at you.

After a while, she feels ready to keep going, standing up to try and learn hybrid magic with you. Still, she wil act a bit timid from time to time for years to come.

Im still waiting for someone to try and roll under 16 in 1d100

Nobles dont have craftsmen in their job tree, but yes I have been thinking about that very same thing too. I think it would be alright if you first build something like a small, primitive steam engine (manually of course, by assembling parts you get Elli/Lyann to craft for you using ore and magic)

Does her Class have to change as soon as she gets bought by us?

Couldn't we powerlevel her as a Slave by taking her with us on dungeon crawls, and getting her to pick up Mamluk?

Yes, having her keep Wizard is good. We just want to make sure she doesn't level that, while leveling Slave and Mamluk, so that the price for her contract doesn't increase exponentially, as it's set to do in 3 years time.

no, not really. Heck, if we want to go the harem route at some point, that's probably the best/only way. Hard to get many wives, but anyone can have many slaves, I guess. Just throwing that out there

And yes we could do that, I guess

>>34792553
May not be a bad plan since remember we were going to level her as something else to avoid rising her price/wiz level anyway. Dancer wouldnt be bad, pretty much only way to raise her app and I think villagers dont get it in their job tree. Plus dancer and/or singer are back-line jobs so she would be much safer, tho I guess we could go Mamluk if we mess around by powerleveling her at first

***

You finally relax, and try to think of a way to use steam through magic, before finally deciding that you could just as well try to use fire and water, then let it clash to become a blinding cloud of hot steam, rather than a third, fuzzy greek-chinese-pseudo element. It's just hard for an engineer to believe in the water-wind-earth-wood-fire alchemical theory, after all.

...and it totally works, too! you manage to force together water and fire to produce a high pressure steam blast in front of you.

"Eldric, that's amazing!" -your redheaded friend is doubly determined now to make it work for her as well.

She, however, doesn't has the mental blockage to keep her fom "summoning steam"

"It's not that hard. Here, stand with your feet at shoulder distance, and reach out with your hand." -you doubt any of that really will help, but whatever placebo effect it has cannot hurt

1/2

So I'm thinking we level up Lyann in 10 levels of Dancer (to increase her App and 1h Weap skill), then we have her level up in the Mamluk -> Freemen -> Fedaykin tree.
If we want, we could have her also get 10 levels of Thief so she can get some better weapon skills and get the Steal skill.

"Alright..." -she stands like you tell her to, and aimd at the practice targets with her open hand

"No, no, place this hand on your hip..."

"Are you messing with me?"

"Of course no, try it!"

Totally messing with her, but she blushes so lovingly while making a silly pose and trying to cast steam out from her fingertips.

She concentrates for a full ten minutes or so, and finally manages to shoot a dense ball of steam!

"You did it, see!?"

"But... you shoot a stream, right?"

"And you shot a ball, it doesn't really matter. Let's get used to it before we try to shape it."

"Alright" -she takes a deep breath and resumes position, feet at shoulder distance, hand on her hip, left hand up, and shoots another and another steam ball at the target.

"Say, shouldnt we use a chant for this?" -she asks

"I... don't know"

"Yes, you should. Do you know how rare it is that you are doing it without chanting?" -your mom has been watching you practice for a while now without either of you notice.

"Ah, madam!" -Lyann cries out in surprise and her steam ball hits and cooks a flower pot- "Eeep! I'm sorry1"

"It's alright. C'mon, you are both covered in sweat." -she takes you both to the bath.

~a few minutes later

"Mom, how did it go with the chess set?" -you ask her as she scrubs the sweat off you, kneeling outside the tub while you and Lyann share it.

"Ah, they loved it. I'm sorry honey, but you didin't told me how much to sell it for, so I said 2 gold pieces. Is that alright?"

>>34793018
Courtesan
The modern use of the term for a prostitute, concubine or mistress of a man of rank[2] belies a much more complex heritage.
In feudal society, the court was the centre of government as well as the residence of the monarch, and social and political life were often completely mixed together. Prior to the Renaissance, courtesans served to convey information untrusted to servants to visiting dignitaries. In Renaissance Europe, courtiers played an extremely important role in upper-class society. As it was customary during this time for royal couples to lead separate lives—commonly marrying simply to preserve bloodlines, fortunes or social status and to secure political alliances—men and women would often seek gratification and companionship from people living at court. In fact, the verb to court originally meant "to be or reside at court", and later came to mean "to behave as a courtier" and then "to pay amorous attention to somebody".[3] The most intimate companion of a ruler was called the favourite.

Would it make you feel better if I changed the name from courtesan to Favourite?

After you have your own, you can use it to play with as many people as you'd like, after all." -she pours down water on you and then turns her attention to your blushing, redheaded friend.

Lyann is immensely conflicted, but your mom acts so natural about this that she doen't fight it as she washes and grooms her. The sensation of having a mom, a family, way, way more powerful and important to her than any shame at having a 8yrs old boy looking at her in the bath.

>>34793549
Maybe give a set or two and a rundown of the rules to a local inn?

>>34793549
We could set it up and play some rounds in the Market with Lyann.

We may also want to come up with card games, like blackjack and poker, and introduce them to the Adventurer's Guild.

We could even introduce CCG's to kids, with cards being a copper a piece.

>>34793549

Getting well-known people to play it publicly, preferably with merchants and gossips around, would do wonders. It'd be best if it could be royalty, but generally anyone with high standing will do.

Your mom surprises Lyann with a new uniform after drying her off properly. It is the first bit of new clothes she's had in years, so she's besides herself with excitement about it.

"And me? I learnt that too!"

"Yes, but you're a genius so I can't get you a gift each time you do something smart, can I?" -she tries to suppress a smile, and then gives you a book.

Either the next school year when the students are allowed to go down to Level 3, or if we get some better equipment for her then we'll take her down sooner.
If she's going to be a Dancer, I don't think we need much more equipment for her, and her debuffs should work well enough on the level 1 monsters on the first floor so we can level her at a more careful pace.

>>34794213

seems to be the most popular

you could buy a light copper armor for 300s, or an iron one for 600s. Weapons are the same. Having said that, I personally feel that keeping her as Dancer in the back its safest. yeah

Anyway**

Grummir, Miiyau and you step down into the 8th floor, having had enough of the oozes in the 8th floor.

"They're just so slimmy, nya!"

"I'm more bothered by the crappy "Slime Jelly" they keep dropping. I would have liked a slime card, tho" -adds Grummir

"What does the slime card do?"

"It adds acid damyage to your weapons, nya! it's a pretty expensive card, nya!"

"Well, I guess we could keep camping the Jelly King..."

"Please not, nya! my hair is all sticky nyow, and it smells like lemyon, nya!"

"Fine, let's go down, then."

The 9th floor is mostly lvl 9 mimics and lvl 9 zenites. It feels strangely familiar, remembering how the lvl 1 zenites at the school's dungeon was the first dungeon monster you ever fought.

Problem with these buggers is, they usually have money worth fighting them for, so you still walk into them tho you know they're a bloody mimic."

"It's okay, nya! you have us, so we can cast spells at it from afar, nya!"

"Fine."

Indeed, it is not even 50" into the 9th floor, when just past the first room, you see a "treasure chest" resting at the end of a hallway, open, with plenty of copper coins spilling off from it's open lid.

"Somyahow, I feel insulted, nya!"

The price is based on the class the slave holds that is currently open, yes? So wouldn't it be better to grind her Wizard levels to increase the price, swap her job to something really low level to instantly bomb it, buy her, and then swap her back to Wizard?

>>34794246
>Yeah, let's not do it yet.
But being a support caster in the back, and considering that the only monsters on the first floor of the school dungeon are those floating gloves, she won't be in much danger as long as she's with us, with our staff, sword, and chainmail.

* Fire Ball 10 MP

>>34794289
>* Steam blast 8MP
Let's start off with our new spell, to see if it has any interesting effects.

>>34794315

The problem is that those owners can't read her level until she swaps jobs, yeah? They know she's a wizard, but if they're not present during the swap, or if we do it oursleves before we get her "checked out to see if the job matches the price" and all that, we could completely bomb her price in one swoop and get her at a steal.

>>34794213
>Either the next school year when the students are allowed to go down to Level 3, or if we get some better equipment for her then we'll take her down sooner.

>The problem is that those owners can't read her level until she swaps jobs, yeah
Or are in a party.
>>34794289
>* Fire Ball 10 MP

>>34794352
But the whole reason they are paying for her education is to raise her level as a wizard. Im sure they would want to check that. Paying a little more to properly appraise their goods seems logical to me

>>34794352
That makes no sense and assumes that the people selling her are complete retards.
Of course they would check not only her Job but also the Job's level before making the sale, and whoever is doing the selling (assuming it's not the guards but an actual slave trader) would have an appraisal done on Lyann. When the Job she has comes back as not matching the Job that's on her slave contract, there's going to be a lot of questions being asked.

You're really pushing the bounds of stupidity here.

You deal 65 damage to the mimic!
The mimic is entangled by Miiyau's spell

"Ah, good boy, can you finish it off, Eldric?" -Grummir asks while watching the mimic struggle to try and break loose of the entangle spell, albeit you are not sure on how would such a thing move anyway

>is not a bad idea but
It's the very definition of a bad idea. An idea that assumes the selling party are blithering idiots, when they obviously aren't, and tries to be clever when it's actually very stupid.

(0) .: [1d100] => [93] = (93) Spell fizzles

The spell hits far away from the monster, but it is still trapped by the entangle

(0) .: [1d100] => [4] = (4) Miiyau lands a critical hit

Miiyau did 54 damage

"Miaa! take that, nya!" -she kills the mimic.

Your mana crystal has 17MP
You have used 18 MP

The mimic dissapears and leaves behind some silver coins.

"You knyaw, it looked like it had a lot myare coins than this when we looked at it, nya!"

"Those were copper coins, tho. This may be rather fair, actually"

"Still feel robbed, nya!"

"Do you guys want to farm these things or go for the floor boss?"

>>34794570
* Steam Blast

This may work well with those vines Miiyau uses. I don't think it will outright destroy them like a fireball would.

>>34794602
I'd vouch for this.

>>34794707
Let's farm some mimics for a bit. Maybe they'll drop something useful.
When we feel confident that we've cleared out most of the floor, we can take down the boss.

>>34794711
Heh, was wondering if you guys would think of it

>>34794707
Farm mimics for a bit, yeah.

>>34794741
This seems good.

>>34794749
Thought of it, but then remember that it's still 8MP to the Flame Arrow's 4MP, and went with the cheaper spell.

>>34794707
Farm for loot.

>>34794741
As you go around the corner, you turn to the left. and keep looking around for monsters, keeping an eye behind you, since the zenites have the bad habit of being completely silent.

Soon enough, however, you spot a small swarm of lvl 9 Zenites together with a Nightmare Mimic lvl 9 inside a room, just stomping around like they own the place.

"Nightmare Mimic?" -you ask outloud after looking at it through your Ring of Knowledge

"I was wondering what that ring did, nya! it tells you what myanster you are looking at, nya?"

"That's handy, but more important, a nightmare monster is a hell of a lot tougher than a regular creep. It gives much, much better loot much more often, tho. Do you think we should jump it?" -Grummir is looking at the monster with greedy eyes

"It's not as tough as a boss, tho, right?"

"Right."

***
Want to jump the nightmare mimic and its scort of 5 zenites? think of it as a miniboss

>>34794859
lets crush it, we can handle this thing.
besides we need that sweet loot

>>34794859
Perfect. Sneak attack go

>>34794859
Yes. Because Yes.

>>34794859
Yes.
Use Stone Wall and Entangle to keep the Zenites from flanking us, then continue using Entangle to stop the Mimic and any other Zenites that escaped the first round of crowd control.
Then use Steam Blasts x2 to start mopping up the adds while the others take down the Mimic.

>>34788851
I wonder if this guy left since he said goodnight

>>34794859
>>34794939

(0) .: [1d100] => [38] = (38) Stone wall works
(0) .: [1d100] => [42] = (42) Entangle works
(0) .: [1d100] => [66] = (66) failed resist
(0) .: [1d100] => [18] = (18) success

(0) .: [1d100] => [64] = (64) failed
(0) .: [1d100] => [60] = (60) failed

You erect a stone wall to separate the monsters from your group at the same time as Miiyau uses entangle on them. Both spells go off beautifully, and everyone is caught by the stonewall.

Two zenites resisted the entangle, however, somehow managing to avoid the tentacle-like vines, and floating over the walls towards your group.

Grummir moves to intercept the closest one.

(0) .: [1d100] => [8] = (8) charge success

Your dwarf leader charges the incoming monsters and pushes one against the stone wall you summoned. The other steers towards him since he is the closest target.

* Use fireball on the monsters on the other side of the wall 10mp
* Use flaming arrows against both zenites on this side of the wall 4mp
* use steam blast against the monsters on the other side of the wall 8mp

>>34795121
>* use steam blast against the monsters on the other side of the wall 8mp
Steam blast x2 for 8mp, innit?
Or do we have the class that grants that off?

>>34795121
>* use steam blast against the monsters on the other side of the wall 8mp
Choose 2 targets to get some overlap in the area of effect.

>>34795150
no, but im assuming its basically a flamethrower, only, with high pressure super hot steam instead of fire, so you can pretty much catch them all by bouncing it off the roof of the room and showering them with it. Well, I was going to describe that very same thing now to make clear how the spell works.

>>34795220
Anyway it looks like you guys want to use the steam blast so here we go

(0) .: [1d100] => [28] = (28) spell works
(0) .: [1d100] => [10] = (10) nightmare mimic resists it

(0) .: [1d100] => [7] = (7) zenite hits grummir for 15 damage
(0) .: [1d100] => [76] = (76) zenite misses grummir

>>34795369
The mimic cant get over the wall, probably, but the zenites can just fly over and Miiyau's entanglement spell will only last one more round.

* fireball (10 mp)
* steam blast (8 mp)
*flame arrows (4mp)

And yes we have the spell trick that, when we attack with single target spells, lets us cast the same spell again for free at another target

>>34795430
>* steam blast (8 mp)
The entanglement still has another round to go.

>>34795517
would it be better if I just rolled everything related to the encounter and told you how did it go, or is this roll by roll ok?

>>34795562
whatever feels like it would go smoother for you really

>>34795562
The roll by roll is better, because we can make choices concerning what to do next as the situation changes.

(0) .: [1d100] => [11] = (11) zenite deals 15 damage

Eldric showers the enemies beyond the wall with super hot steam again. This turn, the entangle spell of your catgirl teammate runs out.

She manages to recast it, and catches all three zenites, but misses the Nightmare Mimic, whom starts "hopping" towards the stone wall, and biting on it however it can, slowly cheweing it way through.

Grummir swings his hammer, but misses his target. The zenites one-two him, but he manages to parry one attack. The other hits him, however.

No casualties yet. The zenites on the other side of the wall are floating lower now, but its hard to say how hurt a floating glove may be.

You boil the zenites, who drop to the floor, lifeless. The nightmare mimic is despairing as it tries to chew through the wall.

35 damage to the wall

(0) .: [1d100] => [2] = (2) Miiyau hits one of the zenites attacking Grummir with a critical from her slingshot!

Yes, direct both of them at it.

You have 17 mp on your mana crystal

Someone asked if you could reload the mana crystal. No. I thought about giving that ability to the alchemist but then it would be too easy to make monstruous golems with dozens of thousands of HP

As you watch the zenites fall to the floor and Miiyau land another shot right on the pinky finger of one of the zenites, the nightmare mimic keeps ramming and biting at your stone wall.

Grummir misses his attack, but then succeeds at fending off the two zenites.

Miiyau summons two greywolves and throws them at the zenites, but they too miss their target.

(is it me or the wolves never help?)

You see that the nightmare mimic is now visible through a small hole on the wall

17 damage. Dead

You draw out your family sword, and swing it at the leaping mimic when it tries to chomp you in half!

Your sword comes out the other side of the mimic's lid, and it falls lifeless to the floor.

(it wont dissapear until the last monsters of its group are dead, btw. And holy fuck this guy has a HUGE drop table (im stealing it from an old game) so someone roll 1d1000 to see what we get. Low is good)

Aaand the rolls after that are just sad. All misses so im not gonna bother pasting that.

You got 17 mana back
You have used 53 mana
You have 19 mana in your mana crystal

Honestly the only spell that makes sense in this situation is the flame arrows so you can hit both zenites.
Or you can walk up and help with your sword

Rolled 21 (1d1000)

>>34796795

Sword to get MP back, and try to flank one of the Zenites so Grummir gets a flanking bonus (or so we can see if such bonuses exist).

>>34794948
Your quest starts at midnight for me, so I am unfortunately only able to comment before and after the quest.

Someone mentioned that the country was at war. Shall we go the military route? I mean spread some rumors of us here and there and it becomes a "fact" that nobody checks because hopefully bureaucracy.

And are the monsters somewhat intelligent? If so, could we technically go tower defense on them?

>>34796795
Uhmm.. that gives me 3 results
1-3 2 handed steel sword with 3 slots for cards
4-6 gauntlet shield (arm coverage + shield)
7-10 mimic card. Which is surprisingly good, really

someone roll 1d10

>>34796957
lol that sounds hilarious, and yeah, MOST monsters are mindless

As it turns out, you do give backstab bonuses to attack, but no flanking bonuses

>spread some rumors of us here and there and it becomes a "fact" that nobody checks because hopefully bureaucracy.
First, we are in a neutral magic city-state because our homeland was invaded by the southern Empire.
Second, we're 8 years old so we can't really go a military route yet since we can't enlist.
Third, our college-state employs Mage Troopers so we need both magic and Knight training.
Finally, why would anyone besides our dad even care about us?

What is your goal with this absurd information campaign?

>>34797193
We were the ones that did most of the work in killing that one by trapping it with the stonewall and steam

>>34797120
The mimic card makes it so that each time you kill a monster, you have a 5% chance to get a [Old Blue Box] which you roll on the nightmare mimic table to see what it has inside.

Only the final blow counts. You need to kill the monster with the weapon that has the card equiped. Jsyk, your sword has no slots left.

The last zenite falls dead, and all the monsters dissapear

>>34797193
It would help the party more by giving it to Grummir. We don't need it and we're to go up against the boss, so increasing the DPS of our frontline melee fighter/tank is more important than greed.

>>34797275
wow we did well, this seems like a floor to farm the fuck out of

>>34797275
So have Grummir equip the card and just make sure he's the one that does all finishing blows from now on.

>>34797324
He does not need to give us anything.

>>34797324
That would be nice if we can do that we do have stonewalls to keep them from attacking us.

>>34797281

The Nightmare Mimic drops a [Mimic Card]
The Zenites drop
Wooden Bo [2 slots]
Gloves x3 [1 slot]
Gloves x2 [2 slots[

Grummir: "Ah, I can insert this into your staff if you want. You are the one doing the most damage, after all."

"Taht's right, Nya! Eldric does a lot of damyage, nya!"

Your staff and sword, neither of them has any empty slots, however.

* Tell him to hang on because you need a new staff first
* Tell him to go ahead
* Tell him to sell the card and split the gold instead

yeah this seems like a good idea to really maximise our returns, even if he only uses that weapon on easy to kill mooks while using a better one for bosses

>>34797378

We can wait until we get a staff with a slot.

>>34797275
Its time to buy a dagger for finishing blows with a card slot.
>>34797093
If monsters are mindless, then they'll probably be hurt by a wall with spikes. When we go lower, we'll need to go Turret Defense mode.

Literally DPS mages should be relatively plentiful. However, crowd control mages may not be. We can go up DPSing, but that'll have us in direct competition with people who have been doing this for longer than an average lifespan. If we go with our walls and upgrade them over time, we'll be one of the most wanted party members.

Can cards be safely unequipped from a weapon or armor? Or are cards permanent?

"Uh? why, what's wrong with your staff?"

"It has no slots left. It is a family heirloom, same with the sword. They have no more space for abilities."

"Nya?" -Miiyau flicks her ears, curious

"What are you talking about? slots? I just know that you grab a weapon, and a card, and sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't"

"That's right, nya! people often get angry about it because they think the smith lied to them, nya! but it only works somtimyas! O've seen Grummyar fail to enhance his own gear, nya!"

It looks like you are the only person that knows about the existence and importance of slots. On further questioning, you are sure of it.

People simply grab whatever and try to insert cards into it. From their point of view, it is totally random.

"Alright, so you are saying YOU CAN TELL when something can take cards, Eldric? Do you know how much money we can do with that!?"

* That's right
* Ah, no, no. Its just that it can fail and wipe the abilities it already has, right? I dont wanna risk it in my sword or staff
* Other

>>34797606
* That's right
let's say its affect of the ring of knowledge that way people won't suspect it's an innate ability.

>>34797585
They are permanent. but if you fail to equip one, you lose all the cards already on a gear.

For example your sword has
[Man Eating Plant] + [kobold] HP Leech
[Succubi] + [Kobold] MP Leech
[Sunrock] + [Kobold] Lights weapon ablaze
[Ghost] + [Kobold] Dispel Magic
It has no slots left at all. Any attempt to insert a new card will empty all slots on it
>"Kobold card does nothing"
>This is what people actually believes
>yfw it makes any effect of the previous card x2 as strong

"Alright, so what about my hammer? can it take any cards?"

You hold the hammer and see that it is a steel hammer with 1 card already equipped (A wolf card for tripping foes with it when you hit a crit) and no space for more cards.

"No, sorry, it already has a wolf card, right? it can't take anything else." -you say after studying it through your ring.

"Nya!? that's amyazing, nya! he can really tell you used a wolf card on it, nya!"

"Uhmm... this info could be dangerous. But we really need to test this. Let's go to the market and buy the cheapest card there is and try it out."

"I'm not going to hit things with a wooden stick, tho. Miiyau?"

"It's just a hit-stick, nya! it's not a mage-type staff. We need a monk."

"Alright, so let's jam two cheap cards into it and sell it on auction at the guildhouse. Everyone okay with this plan?"

* Sure
* No, wait, it is my life-long dream to become a monk!
* Other

>>34798062
* Sure

>>34798062

>* Sure
it'll be easier than explaining we are scion even tho we are 8, besides we can probably get monk some other way without the questions on our own

>>34798062
>other
What about the floor boss?
Does anyone know the requirements to become a monk? Could we just punch level 1 Zenites?

>>34798062
>Selling weapons filled with cheap cards
That could be pretty good. Everyone assumes that we're doing this by luck and wasting money on 1-card weapons, and don't really bother us.

The power balance is also kept fairly stable since the base weapons are still weak. People will get suspicious if we consistently use stronger cards, though, since noone would invest that much on luck.

>>34798247
Oh yeah this. Can we kill the boss first?

>>34798330
Let's not.
Not at this time.
We're pretty much wiped.

You go with Grummir and Miiyau to the market. The place only has 2 cards at the time. An [Atroce Card] which has a small chance to give you +1 attacks per turn after a critical, and a [Scprpion Card] which increases damage vs plants by 20%.

(There are no kobold cards, since noone knows what they do, they are considered trash, and noone bothers picking them up.)

"Alright, these are... not great, but still, if we do manage to make both work, the staff will be worth a lot more than all of these three things together."

"What do you think, nya? will it work, nya?"

"Yes, I am sure it'll work."

"Alright, here I go, but if it's a bust, its coming out of your share, understood?" -Grimmir gets ready

"Sure, go ahead."

Both cards are successfully inserted into the bo staff

"...so, how myach is it worth now, nya?"

"Two trash cards... 500s each, so 1g between both of them. And the staff was 300s, so it was 1g 300s. It can sell for 7g now."

"That's nyat myach, nya!"

"That's not the point. The point is that I'm going to place a request at the auction house for cards."

"We need to do this bit by bit. We don't want people to get suspicious." -you try to calm him down

"Right, don't worry. We are just buying cards to use ourselves for now, and will sell enough equipment to pay for it."

"Alright, I guess."

A short trip to the Adventurer's Guild later, the staff is placed on auction. It is first appraised, and the skills on it are confirmed.
