You twist to face her, watching carefully. She bows, straight from the waist, returning to stand before you with a small box clasped in one hand.
"Thank-you. For your help, for saving our lives."
She holds out the little box.
"Take this, please. It is mine to give."

She hands it carefully to you- a little carved square of wood. It buzzes to your senses, whispering of some kind of magic. You nod solemnly, holding it with both hands.
"Thanks. You're welcome."
"Blessings be."
"Blessings be."

You follow your eager siblings into town, stepping lightly amongst the wooden structures.

I want to intruduce Elle to the girl at the trading post and see her reactions.

She was drooling over the spools of silk we had last time. What will she do when she sees some of Elles creations?

>>35302421
>>Give them some directions, then see to Jin
They can explore of they want

>>35302421
>Give them some directions, then see to Jin

>>35302421
let's get jin and then force a big meal down everyone's face.

>Bring them with you to grab Jin

Alright, we're splitting up
but its not a dungeon, or a horror movie, so thats okay

>Bring them with you to grab Jin
Or
>See them to their destinations
We are carrying some of the goods Elle brought to sell, so we should probably stick with her whatever happens.

>>35302421
>Bring them with you to grab Jin
>Other (?)
Show them what is what as we walk.

Directions are simple. It's not like the town is large enough to get properly lost in, anyway.

You take the time to transfer your cargo to Aria- She makes a show of whining about 'all the garbage' that you and Elle both pointedly ignore. You send them into the towns centre, and head for the edges yourself, Sheszka in tow.

Lia stands outside the cabin, speaking irritably with a man who shares Jin's brown hair. This must be Jareth, then. Both look up as you clatter towards them, waving as you go.

"Good morning, yes?"
Lia flutters her wings a bit in greeting.
"Lyra. Are you all well? We saw the call go up in the forest- Jin wanted to go, but it was the wrong colour."
She smiles wryly.
"She's still shut in the cabin. We've been waiting for news."
"None of the family was hurt- Ah, Father arrived a few days ago, yes? Mom has been... distracted."

Lia cackles a bit, whie her husband greets you with a slow wave of his own.
"Hello there, little spider. I'm Jareth."
"Lyra- And this one is Sheszka."

You offer a hand while a leg prods the wolf forward. She makes a small, silent waves while they watch her. Jareth takes your hand, giving it a firm shake as he speaks.
"It's nice ta finally meet you. I've got work to be doing now, though- We need a proper path to your mine, and trees aren't likely to get out of our way with only nice words, right?"
He slings an axe over his shoulder, and salutes his wife before marching into the forest.

"Don't mind him, he's an idiot, yes?"
She glances at the two of you before gesturing at the cabin.
"I'll save myself the headache of asking about your new friend. Jins inside. Let me know before you leave, yes?"
You nod, advancing on the door and prying it open.

It swings free with ease- and an explosion of feathers followed by a slim body slams into you.
"Out! Out! I'm going to- Lyra?"

Asked for an arachne in armour with a spear in the resident drawthread.
Muju took the request.

>>35303822
Incredible

>>35303822
well, holy shit.
I guess this means we will be kind of scantily clad when we have to let the armor out to fit puberty.

>>35303822
The armor is a tad too thin but that is amazing.

>>35303822
Muju is incredible.Just goddamn.

>>35303822
Damn, that's fucking amazing

>>35303902
>too thin
Too late, swimsuitarmor is now canon.

>>35303822
well the armor isn't plate and she only has 2 eyes instead of 6 but HOLY SHIT THAT IS FUCKING AWSOME

>>35303940
Well, you don't ALWAYS go out in full plate armor: it's heavy and stifling, after all. Sometimes when you're just travelling or need to be more stealthy you have light, sexy bikini armor.

>>35303940
We just need to make it canon, raiding dungeons for a magic cloth armor that is as strong as plate

>>35303822
>Only two eyes
-15/10 complete shit.
Incredible work, the flaws of depiction aside

>>35304117
Well, what details was he given?

>>35304180
Probably just Arachne, armor, and spear.

>>35304211
>>35300384
Literally all he asked for

>>35304256
Then you can't say it's flawed: it was exactly what was asked for, and he delivered perfectly.

>>35304354
Er, not YOU you, just you as in the general whoever is saying that the picture is flawed.

>>35304373
I meant "flawed" in sofar that its not depicting Lyra as much as the requester had probably intended, its still flawed, just not by any fault of the artist.
It wasn't completly serious anyway.

>>35304066
We would just wear that under our normal armor.

We will NOT sacrifice Chevalier/Paladin Spider look.

It's too good.

>>35304477
>not wearing swimsuit at times
Foolish!

>>35304477
We could always just say that's what her silken underarmor she wove before getting her armor looks like.

>>35304497

I said that we would wear the magic swimsuit armor under our normal Plate, because Knight Harder.

>>35304521
>not wearing JUST the swimsuit at times
Foolish!

The most difficult part will be getting a one-piece to work when we don't technically have any legs to fit it through.

>>35304546

Frilly skirt belts.

>>35304514
I could go with that. The pic is just us posing for Jin. Some reason she wanted are armor off, we don't know why.

>>35304514
Wasn't somebody writing smut? Where'd that guy get to?

>>35304514
I'm not even sure "how" exactly she is wearing that.

"Jin." You say, holding the wriggling harpy away from you.
"You look well, yes?"

"Are you okay? We saw the signals- Mother wouldn't let me go, and the she caught me and put me in the cabin. What happened?"
"There was someone trying to sneak into the ruins, but everything is fine, now."

She studies you with serious eyes- an effect held in check by the fact that you're holding her up with each hand beneath an arm.
"Hnnnn. Fine. That is good, yes."
"It is. Would you like to explore a dungeon with me?"

Jin's face light up, her frustrated expression instantly replaced with a rapturous look of excitement. Her mother makes a strangled squawk.
"You- What?! A Dungeon?"
"Yes! Yesyesyes! Right now!"
She starts flapping her wings, and you chuckle as you give the small-framed harpy a launch into the air. She circles twice, arcing hard to land on your shell. Sheszka watches her with curious eyes, giving your shirt a tug.
"Is she pack, too?"

Jin leans over your legs, staring at the wolf with an expression you don't recognize. You glance rapidly between the two and Lia advancing on you.
"Does your mother know about this, young lady?!"
"Hello."
"Yes, I do not wish to be tied to the tree for the rest of the year."
"Hello."
"This is mine."

"Okay. Lyra is Alpha."
"Gah- No, no. How are you keeping Erics away from it, then?"
"Lyra is strong."
"Yes."
"I just wouldn't tell him where it was, yes? He's not happy about it."
"Very, very strong."
"I will follow her. Always."
"Mhm."

Lia is muttering something about spiders, so you turn your attention back to your friends-
"Jin, this is Sheszka. Sheszka, this is Jin."
They share a serious nod, before Jin turns to you.
"Can we go now, yes?"
"No!"
"No, there's still a lot of things to get ready, yes?"

She sits down, legs curling beneath her as she makes herself comfortable atop your spider-half.
"Does Nialla really plan on letting you into a dungeon alone?"
"I think she is planning to thrash me with training first, but yes."
The older harpy sighs.
"Fine. But you-" She says, jabbing a clawed finger towards Jin, "Will behave. Dungeons are dangerous, Jin."
"Yes! Yes, thank-you!"

I'm having a little trouble figuring out who says this, it's probably Jin, right?

I love how Sheszka and Jin are just casually talking about how awesome Lyra is.

Little do we know, it is actually a declaration of war between the two of them.

>>35304831
>>35303822
we should have a spiderbeach episode one day.
We'll all wear showoffy swimsuits and frolick in the water and make the menfolk of the town feel uncomfortable.

this is in a few weeks after we grow up a bit, but it will be fun.

>>35304979

We had a river episode already.

>>35304968
It;s jin, talking about her spot I think

>>35304968
Its Jin.
The conversation is
Jin
Shes
Jin
and so forth

>>35304986
I don't think we really did, in fact.
I can't remember a single time we got everyone together to hang out on the riverside and have fun.

>What are dungeons, anyway? Mom said they weren't ruins.
>I'll take care of her. I promise.

>>35304855
I think that was either Jin claiming us, or stating that we are meeting her "pack" (family).

>>35305002
We went there pretty early, it was just the Spiderfamily that went, it was actually the first time we talked to Aria, it was after we met Jin the first time

>>35305002
We did with our sisters, its when we found out Sara can do magic.

>>35305011
Yeah i know, it was a amused comment about how Jin claimed her spot.

>>35305002

We slept through it because we were tired after mom kicked our ass in our first training session.

>>35305022
>>35305029
you mean when we went off and fought some lizards?

That hardly counts!

>>35305037
No before that, it was more of a bath scene

>>35305037

No, it was before that, and it was a RIVER not a LAKE, it was a bath / family time scene.

>>35305049
>>35305063
Well, we need another, better beach day then.

>>35305037
No, that was later.

>>35305082

WHAT IS A DUNGEON?

A MISERABLE PILE OF LOOT.

>>35305098
And glorious experience!

There's been a pile of bathing scenes.
We went with our sisters fairly early on, we went with Jin when she visited, and again when we visited her

>>35305136

Also the Sheszka one.

>>35305136
I consider those entirely separate and distinct from beach episodes.

>>35305147

You can have your beach episode when we become immortal and make our companions immortal as well.

>>35305147
Give it up, Why don't you try focusing on one of the other important episodes.

Baseball episode when?

>>35305225
This is delicious to me.
Though I still disagree with Re-QM on placement of adult partsA proper gust of wind would make us very embarrassed in our normal tunic.

>>35305255

I thought adult parts were on the human bits?

>>35305300
yes, they are.
Which means they're vulnerable to tunicblowing.

>>35305011
I'm still lost on it... Either Jin said we were hers... this place is hers... or Sheza said we're hers.. I can't tell.

>>35305255
Now that I think about it, lyra goes commando everywhere.
We need to design spider-panties.

>>35305315

You sure we don't have like, a chitin plate covering it until we want to use it or something?

>>35305325
Almost certain it was Jin. But not that it's a problem: Jin owns the spider butt, and Sheszka owns the spider belly.

>>35305342
We know the location, but I don't think we've had an in depth discussion on spider genitals.

>>35305375

Their polishing / grooming areas have already been split between them.

Who shall claim the legs?

>>35305375
We... need to cuddle with them... fuzzy down and fuzzy fur. Magnificent. Well never need blankets. Harpy on top, puppy down below.

>>35305342
It would be handy, but there's nothing suggesting it.

One of the best brick jokes ever.

So tired, but I need to see one more update.

juuuuuuuuust one more.

>>35305518

Is there any actual fucking or is it just a slice of life / comedy deal with T&A?

>>35305670
no of course not.

>>35305676

Answer the question please.

>>35305670
the latter.
interspecies sex is actually an international felony, he gets raided by the military every time he accidentally touches a boob

>>35305670
The original series were one page sex things, but the manga series is a VERY raunchy slice of life/comedy harem series.

>>35305686
no fucking, anon.
It's not a porn.
I think the same author does have a few porn drawings though. I have no collection of those.

You pause a moment, arranging your thoughts.
"I didn't have time to ask before I left- What are dungeons? Why are they so dangerous?"
"Sit down, yes? I don't need a neck cramp."

You shuffle sideways, neatly folding your legs.
"Dungeons are... Well, dungeons are all sorts of things. Tombs, fortresses- It's something of a catchall, yes. I suppose the critical elements are traps, treasure, and guardians. There's the labyrinth, too, but it's not the same.
"Labyrinth?"

She shakes one wing side to side.
"It's- They're not sure what it is. It's like a dungeon, but it grows, all the time. New entrances pop up, and adventurers have to clear it out to stop ferals from spilling into villages and the like. The guild that manages adventurers- they stabilised an entrance, years ago. Haven't found where it comes from, yet."
"Wow."

"Mhm. In any case- dungeons are built to guard the treasure. By a warlord who wants to take it with him, or a mage who's rejected other beings- They're malevolent,yes? Designed to stop people from getting in and out. There's all kinds of traps; blades, pits, spikes, walls, acid- Nia told all sorts of stories."

"What kind of creatures could live like that?"
"The kind that aren't alive, mostly. Undead, elementals. Golems. Anything that can keep going after the master stops. Though you'd occasionally find an idiot who thought a minotaur would make the greatest defence, or something. Doesn't stop to think what happens to it when there's no more food."

>>35305920
She sighs again, tilting her head as she gives up.
"They're dangerous, yes? So listen to your mother. Be careful."
"I'll keep her safe. I promise."

Her expression softens, ever so slightly.
"I'll hold you to that, yes."

With one spider-mounted, harpy-based early warning system acquired, the first piece of your plan is falling into place.
Now you just need an actual plan.

Let's see what we got. Might as well do it here, we might need to ask Lia what it is.

>See about getting some gear- maybe something for Sheszka?
If we're taking her in a dungeon, she'll need some armour. Maybe see if we can find a weapon she likes better than her own claws.

>>35305938
>See about getting some gear- maybe something for Sheszka?
Have to get the team ready for adventure.

>>35306045
Gauntlets with the ends opened up for claw ports?

>>35306005
What would be good gear for Sheszka? Her fangs and teeth are good, but should we consider a weapon for something she might not necessarily want to rip and tear?

As for armor... hm, we'd want something flexible and light weight. POSSIBLY chain, though I'm not sure she'd like it.

>>35306025
It is, presumably it will have something inside it.

>>35306060
Probably some sort of chain mail with the shine taken off. Right size and strapped down with leather it won't make too much sound. She couldn't handle plate.

I'm kinda liking the >>35306056 idea

No new training required.

>>35305938

Claw bracers? Yeah, they could be good. Some protection, extra weapons, plus keeps her hands / paws free.

Yo dawg I heard you like claws so I put claws on your wolfu so your wolfu can claw while she claws

>>35306110
Dude, maybe we should avoid metal armor in general. Contrary to popular opinion, chain mail is exceedingly heavy, and Shesz' greatest strength lies in her speed. It's also absurdly time consuming to produce, and Michael is going to be busy making armor for our sister.

>>35306252
>>35306268
How about plates woven into the inside of the leather covering vital areas? That was one of the options for our own armor if I recall.

Also, I like the idea of plating the exterior with boiled leather, as it weighs more or less the same as normal leather, and would help deflect glancing blows, Shesz relies on her evasiveness in combat anyway.

>>35306343
Good game, guys. Can we play in a sequel as Jin?

>>35306388
I'm worried about the boiled leather inhibiting her mobility and flexibility too much, but it's reasonable.

Wait, REQM just takes the first roll, and not the best of 3?

This...is going to hurt.

>>35306486
No, he does best of three

>>35306486
Typically REQM takes best of three. Really, though, best of three stacks things heavily on the side of the players.

>>35306486
It is best of 3 as far as I know.

>>35306486
eh I think he takes the best of three in combat rolls, with event rolls I believe it's first come first serve

>>35306486
best of 3 for combat/skills

this was most likely a random event table though, so first roll is it.

>>35306508
And why not? Stacking things heavily against them is silly. Best of 3d100 is a reasonable system which still potentially allows for failure.

>>35306685
I'm not saying it's a bad thing. In truth, I misinterpreted what the person I quoted was actually saying.

Now best of 3d20 with crits and critfails? THAT'S pretty harsh on players.

>>35306729
Best of 3d20 with crits and fumbles is an awful system, and anybody who has the slightest clue regarding probability can see that.

>>35306816
Yep, though VMQ actually had a good system where a one would cancel the highest roll, which required two ones in order to crit fail. I liked that system.

It's burning a hole in your pocket. You can't just not open it. That'd be rude, right?

You fish the carved box out, holding it cupped in both hands. You can feel the pull of magic from within. Your fingers move to the delicate clasp marking the front of the box, and you carefully flip it open, hidden hinges creaking ever so slightly as the box reveals its contents.

DA-NA-NA-NAAAAA

Jin is the first to comment.
"Why are you holding it above your head? You can't see anything like that."
You snap your arms back down beside you while Sheszka gives you a strange look.
"Uh- It's a- Um. It's a thing. It's nothing. Don't worry about it."

You can feel her shrug on your back. Cheeks burning, you turn to your new prize.

A neatly cut gemstone lies nestled on a little pad- Square-cut, which each side brought to a single edge. It's a brilliant blue colour, with a pale yellow swirling through it. Beautiful.

You have no idea what it is, whatsoever.

You snap the box shut, stuffing it back into your bags, and bound into the village proper, Sheszka at your heels. What passes for your heels. You do not, in fact, have any heels. The forge lies quiet- Which means Aria must not have ordered her armour yet. You make for the trading post, sliding through the doors to see Theresa chattering excitedly will Elle, while your combative sisters stands idly by.

"-It's amazing. You did all the lacework yourself?"
"Yes! I was so excited to try out the designs in the book- There are so many patterns!"
The trader holds up a thin, looped shawl, light from the windows filtering through it's laced edge.
"Gorgeous. Stuff like this- People would buy it in a heartbeat."

>>35307616
Elle is glowing with pride. You clatter forwards, waving as you go.
"Good afternoon, yes!"
Theresa smiles as you approach.
"Miss Lyra. I note that you've brought me some more business."
You pat Elle on the shoulder as you respond.
"Elle was very excited to see the shop, yes. I don't think I bought nearly enough thread."
"More dye than thread, actually."

The shopkeep gestures expansively at her store.
"Well then- What can I help you ladies with today? The one passing merchant refilled our supplies- There's even a caravan getting ready to head up here for trade."
Aria raises her hand.
"Armour."
"Dyes. A bit of thread. Different sized needles. More books."
"Do you need any pins?"
"Pins?"
"They keep the edges of your cloth together while you sew."
"Ah- I've just been leaving the edge sticky, and pressing them together."
"Huh."

Theresa turns back to your group, raising an eyebrow.
"And what about you, then?"

ALL THE THINGS.

>>35307630
>>Usher Sheszka forward. Armour and weapons.
Ask elfdad about the gem, and we don't need adventuring gear for humans, we are a giant spider.

>>35307752
still could still use stuff like a torch/tightsource, and some doorspikes, think big doorstops you can wedge in the cracks to prevent things from following us easily.

>>35307823
We need to get a Chair of Propping.

>>35307823
Our nightvision is flawless, and we can block passages with webs or earth magic (assuming access to a source of mana). Giant spiders make for the best adventurers.

Okay, yeah.
I pretty much knew how this would go.

>>35307988
Well, while REQM helps out with family matters, why don't we discuss what we can equip Jin with?

>>35308050
I don't think armor would be a good idea for her, since it'd weigh her down. As for weaponry, probably weighted darts or javelins: someone brought up how her legs aren't designed to throw javelins, but I think that she'd be able to work something out.

>>35308050
That's a pretty good idea. I'm ducking out now, so make your choices from below:

>Spider Silk

Weapons

I actually like this one, but I'm not sure it would be available, scale armor is really hard work.

>>35308128

is this possible?

>Gauntlets w/ claws
she's used to clawfighting, right?
Though really, we should let her pick her own weapon.

>>35308175

Oh, then:

we've a spear. Best training from mom will be a spear. But if the wolf wants to learn close fighting it already has it's claws. and teeth for close fighting. It needs more practice at medium range to not get as injured.

>>35308201
wait, JIN?
then the knife.
Either that or pick her own.

I still stand by silk with plates.

>>35308201
>Gauntlets
>Jin

What a cruel jest anon.

>>35308092
indoors she is a melee fighter, her talons would be far more effective than an awkwardly wielded weapon unless it was basically talon extensions.

outdoors, javelins and weighted darts, she divebombs ala JU87 and simply drops them on her targets.

>>35308128
>Spider Silk
>Gauntlets w/ claws

>>35308201
Jin would have considerable trouble wielding a knife, so I am assuming he meant for Sheszka.

>>35308225
Its clearly for Sheszka, Jin can't wear any gauntlets, she doesn't have hands.

>>35308220
>I'm assuming this is for Sheszka.
shit.. Why are we even bothering let jin choose wtf she wants. who're we to say what is best for her?
Far as we know she would do best with a ranged weapon like a bow. Since any time outside of a small place she will be flying and has the best view to sniper things.

>>35308220
Freaking this.
Jin is suited for stealthy, ranged fighting. She can't take many hits in a fight and can't wear substantial armor.

>>35308266
I would think a crossbow for fighting from our back when she can use her vestigal finger, and a composite bow for flying would be the best choice.

>>35308304
I don't see the logic of getting a bow or crossbow for Jin. Even assuming she could fully operate either mid flight, and that's assuming quite a bit, they would still be impossible to aim in any effective way.

>>35308389
>for fighting from our back
I explicitly pointed out the crossbow only makes any sense from our back, when she might be able to use her finger to use it.

Using the bow in flight wouldn't be a probem, its large enough to use with her talons. The main problem would be grasping the arrows and gettting it into her talons.

Guys, did we ever get Jin tested for magic ability?
We never asked dad if wands with charges are a thing.

Because instead of trying to get a crossbow or javelins for Jin to use, word-activated wands strapped to her sides making her into a turret/Stuka bomber seems like a possibility.

This is a fantasy video game world with color-coded magic items; we should ask if some of our video game/TTRPG assumptions can be applied here.

>>35308128
>>Leather w/Plates
And some throwing spears for weapons. Little girl is fast, but too fragile to have brawling be her mainstay.

Jin's focus is stealth and flight any armor she gets needs to be light, flexible, and QUIET so something like spider silk weave with hardened leather sections sewn on over vitals.

Any weapon she uses she should be able to use in flight. So some sort of cover or protection for her talons, we don't want her natural weapons getting damaged, beyond that maybe keep a hooked net or some weighted darts around that she could drop while diveing at a target. As far as crossbows or ranged weapons go do we even know if she can operate one from our back? After all she has no hands and uses her talons to perch on us.

>>35308618
Ooh

I like that idea. Wands.

>>35308669
>After all she has no hands
She has fingers, so maybe she could use a crossbow from our back. We would need to try it out.

Alright, I'm back.
It looks like silk, gauntlets, and asking about javelins/spears?

>>35308788
Why don't we ask Elle if we can borrow that crossbow we made her, to see if Jin can use it from her spiderperch?

>>35308808
clarifying, this is for Jin, and not Sheszka?

>>35308808
>>35308831
Yeah. Gauntlets are for sheszka, I thought.

>>35308808
We might as well ask Jin to look if she can throw a javelin from air

>>35308808
Gauntlets are for Shes

>>35308854
she wouldnt need to throw it, just drop it from a dive.

>>35308808
Yeah, we're not exactly certain who this is for REQM, could we get some clarification?
For the record I think Jin should get outfitted with spider silk and a polearm/darts, while Shesz gets claw gauntlets and leather.

>>35308871
Thats terrible, that wouldn't do anything against opponents she can't hurt with her claws anyway. And its impossible to properly aim.

>>35308887
>>35308831
Weapons & Armour were for Sheszka
Would you like to craft armour for Jin as well?

>>35308928
spear for Shezka
silk armor for Jin too.

>>35308928
Didn't we already give her a spider silk vest?

>>35308928
Let's just find out if she WANTS anything.

>>35308808
Or wands

>>35308928
Lets just ask Jin what she might find a good idea to have,m she hunts alot she should have some idea.

>>35308808
I think Shezska gets a clawed gauntlet and silk.

Dunno about Jin.

>>35308948
yeah, but i think this one was just clothing (with a lot of pockets), she'd probably need something a bit more protective

>>35308928
>Weapons & Armour were for Sheszka
Oh, then I'm for
>Leather w/Plates
>Gauntlets w/ claws

>>35308910
have you never seen a WW2 divebomber? thats pretty much exactly what they did and it is incredibly accurate.

the only real difference is the type of damage, divebombers used bombs with explosives while a javelin would be using kinetic energy.

>>35308928
Sheszka- Leather w/plates and clawed gauntlets.
Jin - spider silk, and javelins for divebombing outdoors.

Thinking on it again, why are people going for spider silk for Sheszka?
Wouldn't some leather with metal plates on her arms, shins, and around her vitals fit her fighting style?

>>35308928

For Shesz
>Leather (w/plates of boiled leather)
>Gauntlets w/ claws

For Jin
>Spider Silk
>Javelin/weighted darts

>>35309045
I think leather might be too rigid and inflexible for her.

>>35309044
The damage of the divebomber came from the bomb EXPLODING, not from it dropping on people, and divebomber were not accurate at all, thats why they threw down a really large number of bombs.

Y'know, couldn't we make a combat vest for Jin?

Like, a vest with pockets for ceramic or steel plates?

Normal armor would be a bit too restrictive for her I think, and the main thing that can damage her and is NOT entirely magic is arrows, bolts, maybe primitive firearms.

>>35309045
Anon posted about weapon options for Jin.

Op posted reply listing weapon / armour options clearly intended for Shez.

People is confuse.

Fairly sure everyone mentioning silk armour was talking about Jin. OP may deliver a post with us dressing up Shez in silk due to confusion.

>>35308928
Sheszka
>Leather (w/plates)
>Gauntlets w/ claws
Jin
>Spider Silk
>Javelin/Weighted Darts

>>35309083
As someone who's wore combat vests, I would not recommend it for her. They're not as cumbersome as they look, but they still don't allow for the kind of fighting Sheszka does.

>>35309083
We might be able to get enchanted ceramics or metal plates, and that idea might work.
If this world has mithril and adamantium, might work even better.
If it has orihalcum which is anti-magic metal, then it could be pretty useful.

We should talk it over with Elle, since she's better at weaving than us.

>>35309076
She has a skeleton and a fixed body plan, doesn't she? Normal leather is certainly light and flexible enough for her to fight in, and so long as the joints are free of plates she should be able to move perfectly fine.

>>35309114

For JIN.

The harpy.

The one that flies all the time and relies on gouging the fuck out of her enemies with the giant claws on her feet.

>>35309079
>divebomber were not accurate at all,
Yes, they were. That was the point of diving to aim at the target instead of just dropping from a level flight position.

>they threw down a really large number of bombs.
No, you're mixing up heavy bombers with dive bombers.

>The damage of the divebomber came from the bomb EXPLODING
Explosive damage is not the only damage. Impaling a target will cause it to have a bad day also.

>>35309171
Then I would definitely not recommend it for her. That stuff's heavy.

>>35309186

But Jin is obsessed with growing ULTRASTRONG with Lyra, so she would see it as a challenge, and then probably evolve to be strong enough for it to not matter.

>>35308669
Sheszka fights best when she can surprise her enemy dealing the killing blow while we hold their attention and Jin can harrass them from the air. To this end I think her armour should be light, and quiet to allow her to abuse her stealth and speed but still be able to help some when she enters melee combat. So maybe some sort of spider weave setup with some metal plates over vital areas.

She also needs something to protect her natural weapons(claws and fangs) maybe some sort of bladed gauntlet/glove depends on the structure of her claws really.

Beyond that I'd like to give her some kind of ranged weapon to fall back on if she is forced from melee combat. A bola to trip up enemies and a light crossbow to as a fallback would be good for this.

>>35309223
It's still not a good idea. At most all she needs is something that can stop or slow down projectiles without weighing her down. If she's actually being attacked then there's something wrong.

>>35309185
>Explosive damage is not the only damage.
They either have alot of force, by being dropped from great height, or the are accurate by being dropped from a lower height. Anything she could hurt with a Javelin just falling, she could just as well hurt with her claws.
Not to mention all the problems of getting into a position straight above your enemy and pinning him there long enough.

Guys, I'm kind of bored from these discussions, since they're starting to get circular. Can we just get Sheszka some armor or something and continue on? Jin doesn't really need it right now, anyways.

>>35309117
To my knowledge, the town smith only has access to mundane materials, like steel and leather. I doubt anything as exotic as these options will come into the quest in the near future.

>>35309083
This is why I think spider silk would be a good fit, her biggest vulnerability is to projectile attacks. Our silk is light and flexible yet insanely strong, and I'm hoping it acts somewhat like kevlar in armor.

What you're talking about is stuff that would be a little overkill for the things she would be facing. Modern armor is built to resist rifle fire, which is far more powerful than any arrow or bolt, and is in fact fairly heavy.

>>35309273
We are waiting for the update.
Optimally Jin just gets sharper claws.

>>35308928
Finally caught a thread to ask about this, is being a reincarnation going to be important? It seems like it hasn't mattered much so far.

>>35309299
I'm not sure if we're waiting for REQM or if they're waiting for us.

>>35309315
Drive, for one: Lyra's adult mentality and maturity allowed for her to be more proactive in doing stuff, which resulted in her and her friends having crazy EXP gains.

"A few questions, and a few purchases, yes. Ah- to start- Sheszka."
The wolf snaps to attention at the sound of her name, trotting up to the front. You pat her head gently while you talk.
"What kind of weapons do you have? Light armour, I can make- But we can't keep a forge in a tree, yes. I was thinking gauntlets, maybe? Something with claws."
"I think I've actually got something- yeah, here we go. Some grappler wanted us to get them in. He- uh..."
"Gone?"
"Yes. Somewhere in the plains."

"Will they fit her?"
"They should be a bit adjustable- Here."
You take gauntlets, lights sparkling off the polished metal of their surface. The hand portions connect to a plate that would crawl up the wolf's arms, neatly protecting her forelimbs.

Sheszka stares in amazement as you strap each one on in turn, hands palm up as she watches the metal.
"How do they feel? Too big? Too small? Try moving them, yes."
She slowly clenches each fist, releasing one finger at a time as she twists her wrists. She holds her hands out before her, spreading her fingers wide, smiling at the armour.
"Good. They are good."
"Do you like them?"

Her eyes sparkle.
"Yes!"
"We'll take these then."
"Mhm- I'll keep them cheap. They've been back there for a year already. You had some questions, too?"
She's got her pad out, a paper wrapped stick of charcoal held delicately in her fingers.

"Two, yes. I have a stone, but no idea what it is-"
"Probably a stone, then."
"-But I can tell it is magic."
"Well, why didn't you say so?"
You raise an eyebrow.
"Alright, alright, let's see."

>>35309681
You hold out the box, open in the palm of your hand.
"Huh- A spirit stone."
She slides a finger across the surface, watching the pattern.
"Far better than anything we've got. I'm not anything like a expert- Maybe wind or storms? It's strong, in any case."
"Hmm. Thank-you."

"And your other question?"
"What sort of things would you need in a dungeon?"
"Regular people, or you?"
"I think I'm fairly regular, yes."
"You're a giant spider. Regular people would need rope, torches, rations- Rations would be good, but you can make a better rope than I can sell- I heard you can see in the dark, too?"
"Yes."

She shrugs, laughing.
"Not much I have for you, then."
"Fair enough. Oh- uh, Jin? Is there anything you could use? I'm not sure what kind of weapons harpies could wield."

Jin perks her head up, considering.
"Mmmmmm- I have my thing, now. I can borrow mother's claws."
"Your thing?"
"Yes. It is a good thing."
"I see."
"I can show you, yes. But not in here."

You stare at her, blankly.
"Of course."
Theresa coughs into her hand, and you turn back to her.
"Is, uh, that everything, then?"
"I think so, yes."
Jin is still playing with her fingers, watching her reflection on the back of her hands.
"Here's the rations, then. Good luck."
"Thanks."


You wave to your sisters as you trundle away, and they go back to bargaining.

>by being dropped from great height
OR by accelerating an object before its release.

An object does not restart at 0 speed when you let go, its continuing at however fast you where going until air resistance+gravity brings it to terminal velocity or it hits the ground/something, and in a dive many birds of prey are capable of 150-200mph. That happens to be around the terminal velocity for a javelin.

a 4 pound javelin dropped from a 160mph dive will have more kinetic energy than a bolt from a 175-lb-draw siege corssbow designed to penetrate plate armor.

>>35309693
>>Find somewhere Jin can show you her 'thing'
>>Head back to her house, so she can borrow her mom's claws.

>>35309785
Jin wouldn't fly down, therfore whatever momentum she exerts on thje javelin would work against its falling speed not in favor of it because its directed in the wrong direction.

>its continuing at however fast you where going until air resistance+gravity brings it to terminal velocity
Thats complete bullshit. A object retains momentum, but momentum is still directed force, it would only aid its falling speed if Jin were flying downwards, which she wouldn't be doing since then she couldn't throw the thing, and it would require a lot of time for her do the necessary maneuver to actually do something like that.

At some point we really do need to ask Sheszka her age.

>Find somewhere Jin can show you her 'thing'
>>Head back to her house, so she can borrow her mom's claws.

She would lose a lot of force doing the roll required to deliver the Javelin, so its not even nearly a 100% translation. Not to mention aiming that shot would require a lot of training, and the entire move needs a lot of space.

>a 4 pound javelin dropped from a 160mph dive will have more kinetic energy than a bolt from a 175-lb-draw siege corssbow
Holy shit, this is amazing.

What part of 'owl harpy dive bomber' don't you understand, dude?

>>35309915
A diver bomber uses explosions, Jin would use a really risky and slow maneuver to deliver the Javelin. For a moment of that roll she couldn't actually see the target, and since Lyra fights close up, using it against anything humanoid would risk hitting Lyra with that javelin.

You people are way too lewd.
Asking an innocent harpy to show you her thing.

>>35309841
You don't understand ballistics, do you. It would work perfectly well at angles other than vertical.

But she's the one who brought her thing up!

You expected and desired this the moment this quest was a twinkle in your multiple eyes you giant spidery bitch.

>>35309976
If it would only work vertical it wouldn't be a viable move at all. Jin will always have her head in flying direction, meaning she would always have to turn to throw the Javelin, which is only possible by doing a roll in the air, since any other way of turning would negate all build-up force. "Downwards" does not mean vertical, it just mean towards the ground.

I saw the extra lewdness, anon.

So, while we wait.
What does everyone think our stone does?
It's like the water rock in our shield, but better right.
Wind or storms.

>>35310362

Probably another nail in our "Nialla2.0" coffin.

>>35310409
Im thinking lightning stone, or storm stone. Like, hail and shit.

again with the throwing.

she could clasp it between two front toes on one foot, she is inhumanly strong so a few pounds should be nothing, and use the rear toe/talon to keep it level if needed. the tip is now pointed whatever direction she flies.

now no need to roll or turn, just release your grip on it before pulling out of the dive and its momentum will do the rest.

Your legs click neatly as you pace through town. There's a whole pile of things to get ready still, you could-
"The edge of town would be best, yes? I can show you my thing there." Jin says, as she prods you with one foot.
You smile nervously.
"Ah- Jin, is this really the best time?"
"Yes! I have been waiting to show you, yes!"
"I- Uh, I see."

You lead her off, towards her house, though you stray near the tree line. Jin watches her surroundings like a hawk, head twisting in every direction.
"There!"
You follow her outstretched wing, pointed to a craggy stone erupting from the ground. Sheszka follows along behind, and you close in on the stone till Jin calls a halt.

She picks herself up, standing tall on your shell, directing you to turn sideways. She flares her wings wide, feathers trembling- and she makes a little hop, throwing her wings forward with one ferocious flap.

Shooting stars spark out from her wings, firing forward and trailing tails of light, rocketing into the stone and the earth around it with little Paff! noises. There's so many that the sounds blur together, sounding like a sizzling machine gun.

Jin is ecstatic, hopping back and forth on your shell as she crows.
"See! See! This is my thing, yes!"
