I understood what you meant, but if the animal blasts arent summoning actual permanent animals and just look pretty, its really just fluff, I think

Also, in this version, nerfed dances to do damage equal to that of your equipped weapon instead of your appearance score. That way dancer is more neatly in the support slot instead of dps

>>35425426
But summoning permanent animals is already done by other jobs. What do?

Ah, I see where the confusion is, now.

What do you think of a secret job gained by spending forever in a dungeon? Say, 2 months to 1 year, reaching at least floor 50 or maybe even fully mapping them out.

>>35425693
well, theres a big difference between reaching floor 50 and mapping it out since some dungeons are just 20 floors

but what do you want the job to give?

This PDF includes all the sheets. Honoria is missing the inventory. I was lazy about punching it in

Also, Aura is rather scary, considering shes wearing all NON-Magical equipment. Will of course enchant it when I have time to write that. I guess obviously Okaba would enchant it for her

Anyway lets see...

"Ah, young lord. It is nice meeting you. I am Caja Azuca, a local merchant and supplier. I hope you will sponsor my business with your presence" -says the gold dwarf
"Nice meeting you, sir. I don't know how much I can help your business, but it is nice of you to invite me."
"No, no, simply having the young lord show up at the shop will already help our reputation, please do drop by! I will try and prepare a suitable gift as thanks" -he says with a smile
"Ah, I see. Thank you mister Zuca." -you say politely
"Azuca, young lord."
"Right, Azuca, I apologize."

Several other merchants also drop by, inviting you to shops of all kinds, from regular food stores to weaponsmiths and slave traders (who promises to save you the very best stock) are interested in having you show up by their shops to show they are rubbing elbows with the high marshall's grandson.

Seriously grandpa, was it like this at home for you? Im starting to get an idea on why you moved out of town, and why dad wanted to move to a completely different town before I was born, now.

You sigh, and go back to enjoying Lyann's dance. She looks so cute amongst all the tall dancing girls, but she's not losing in neither beauty not grace.

Our friend Okaba walks over and shooes away the merchant sharks that were gathering around us

"Eldric, are you alright?"
"Quite, but thank you for the rescue"
"Uhmm.. this reminds me of the merchants at home."
"Oh... I guess merchants are the same anywhere?"
"Well, merchant is a chaste mainly populated by gold dwarves in Hêven so... more similar than you are thinking about."
"..."
"Your girl looks very beautiful on the dance floor. Did you got the name of the tailor?"
"Ah, yes. Are you getting something for aura?"
"Indeed, her birthday will be soon."

Your friend acts as a buffer between you and the merchant lords in Opal for a while, then has to wander off to greet Honoria's parents.

"..." -Mako clinbs to your sleeve quietly
"Our princess requests..." -starts one
"...that you scort her to greet the king" -ends the other
"Of course."

You go with Mako and greet the dwarven King and Queen.

Their majesties are quite polite, and thank you for being friends with their daughter.

"It is my pleasure and honor, your majesty"

You introduce Mako, and explain that the princess is quite shy.

She does a polite, graceful bow and introduces herself clearly... it seems that she can force herself to talk for formal occasions

After a while, people starts to drift off, and Aura has fun trying to dance with Lyann. She's quite graceful, but she's not a great dancer. Still, it's fun to watch.

* Go talk with the king now that the official bits of the banquet are done with

We want Mako to unlock Dancer, and training is the only way since it's not a Job in her Class.
And then we can talk with the King about what's going on with our father and grandfather, if he knows them personally, to try to get an idea about the geopolitics of this world.

Afterwards schmooze the merchants some, try to dig out rumors of goods being sold to the enemy.

She unlocked dancer playing with Lyann at the same time Lyann unlocked singer, tho. Could turn it on for a little bit so she does better at the dance floor, tho.

A sort of "trust me" scene where you switch her job for a little bit, she has fun and grows a little bit out of her shell

Speaking of which, what do you think of this for grown up Athena?

I thought it would be fun to deliberately make spirals or something, or zigzags to farm charging mobs. I'm still playing with the idea in my head in terms of how much Dungeon Maker would work. Going Interior Redesigner on dungeons to modify mob types might make devdasi too useless, as fun as it is to put rooms and furniture around the place.

>maybe as an aura that can be adjusted on your side so it just affects your party
that works

What about creating safe zones? Resting spots where mobs will not actively walk to or spawn in.

Uhmm I think that as long as "the dungeon magic will create a way from exit to entrance if you block it" it could work, really

***

You take the chance now while Mako is still acting so brave, and gently pull her to the dance floor.

As soon as she realizes what you want, she freezes solid, going bright red and closing her eyes.

"Princess, please trust me"
-she shakes her pretty head, terrified
"Mako, please trust me?"
-she opens up an eye, a little bit, and you gently smooch the back of her hand as you switch her job for a little bit

Yup, this is good.

Mako looks cute. Well, she's naturally cute to begin with. You dance with her a little bit, and then with Lyann, and back with Mako, and Aura takes you for a spin (literally, as shes quite taller than you and has no trouble picking you up).

Everyone watching feels that "the children dance very well", and the celebration goes through uninterrupted.

After a little, you guide Lyann and Mako back to their seats. Mako right away hides behind a glass of milk, sipping on it as she holds it with both hands, blushing softly as she tries to live it down.

Her shadows look quite happy and just kneel by her sides, patting her and telling her what a brave girl she is.

You leave Ami and Mai to take care of the girls as you excuse yourself and wander off to talk with the merchants a bit, trying to find out which basic goods and materials you can get from the city.

Surprisingly, they have quite a business in exotic hard woods. Giant mushroom forests are carefully managed to produce light, extremely tough woods.

Of course, the names of chemicals and minerals are different from your previous world. You will probably have to talk with an alchemist in his studio so you can identify the dwarven names for things like antimony, barium and sulphur

You go agree to visit the laboratory of the court's alchemist, master Polvo, at some point during your visit.

Well, you are going to spend a couple of months here. There's no great rush right now

The dwarves seem quite optimistic about the war effort. They don't seem particularly sympathetic to the plight of the Yellowleaves elves.

"They brought it on themselves" seems to be the most common opinion, followed by "The ones with enough grit to work for their citizenship make half decent domestic servants, but you can't expect a real, honest dwarf-day of work out of an elf. We are already coddling them quite a bit since the king forbade using them on the mines or the woodchucking camps"

What few elves you see all wear the "public servant" collar and are dressed in the same colors, with high quality materials. They seem quite bored with the dwarves idea of a feast and a ball, but a few seem to be having fun as they wander about and look at the dancers.

You dont manage to find any dirty rumours at the benquet, but then again, it seems unlikely any dwarf would badmouth his nation in front of you.

"Young lord, would you like some more juice?" -a female voice asks you from behind
"Kalliira, hello" -you greet your attendant
"Good evening, young lord. Are you enjoying the feast?"
"Yes, thank you. How long will it last?"
"Uhmm.. I understand it will last for 2 more days. The dwarves will go in and out of the feasthall, of course."
"Oh. So I can go to bed if I want?" -you don't want to admit it, but you are kind of tired by now
"Of course. Would you want me to collect your sister from the dance floor?"
"Please"

A few minutes later, Lyann is pampering you, 100% in "big sister" mode as she sees you getting sleepy.

"Well, he's still my little brother" -yeah she has that written all over her pretty face as she pampers you and walks with you and Kalliira towards the door.

She asks kalliira to let Okaba, Honoria and Mako know that you are going off for the night, and then goes out of the feast hall with you.

The hallways outside are also quite full with dwarf nobles talking cheerfully with eachother, dressed in their finest clothes as they discuss business or politics.

"...war going well. Maybe another two years, to..."
"...polis navy harrassing them at sea, should end so..."
"...ost interesting new drill tip, you see..."
"..hahaha! yeah, well, you have to admit it is funny..."
"..ood leadership for the troops. Once this war is over, the coalition army could help us clean out the orcs from the souther regions..."
"...ont trust the vizier..."

As you approach, most conversations cease for a bit as the dwarves greet you, and then resume their conversations.

Mako joins you together with Kalliira. The little princess is being carried in one of her shadows arms, and looks already 1/2 asleep.

"..." -she says softly as she sinks her pretty face into her guardian's bossom
"Eldric, you meanie..." -starts the girl carrying the princess
"...let me know if I can go, too" -ends the other

"Ah, I'm sorry, please forgive me"
"...okay" -she says just loudly enough you can hear her, and then blushes as she hides her face

Well, it was a fun night. The dwarves seem quite on board with the Coalition's efforts.

You escort Mako to her room, and then head off to your own. Kalliira asks you if you need help getting prepared for bed, but you thank her and dismiss her.

Lyann insists in giving you a bath before bed, just like at home, and shortly after you are cuddling up with her in bed. With a full tummy, a new pair of gauntlets, and in a warm hug, you fall asleep right away.

"T-this is a very bad idea. Let's just go to bed" -you recognize Kalliira's voice
"Shh. we need help, and the dwarves arent going to help. Be quiet"
"They're just children!" -you can tell Kalliira is paniching a little
"We saw them in the dungeon earlier today, they can handle themselves."

Uhmm... it looks like they're not kidnappers?
maybe?

"Now ask him!"
"Asking for help from children, we've sunk to a new low, you know?"
"Kalliira, they won't start screaming if you wake them up, right? stirr them a little"
"...fine..."

You can tell kalliira is kneeling by the bed. Her hand reaches forth towards your shoulder with the intention of waking you up, when you turn around.

"What is it? I thought you were kidnappers at first"

Kalliira falls backwards on her ass, the chocolate-colored elven beauty more surprised then you

"Ah!... y-young lord."

You use a fire spell to lot up a candle, as Lyann sits up on the bed

It is three male elves and Kalliira. Its the elves you saw fighting the level 2 [killer tomatoe] on the foodgeon

"What is going on?" -asks Lyann

"W-w.. well... uhmm... young lady, you'll see..."

The elves all kneel on the carpet

"We didin't know you were important for the king. We need your help." -explains Kalliira as she bows down, forehead on the floor between her hands.- "Some of us are going missing"

Kalliira explains to you that the elves who applied to citizenship were given collars and allowed to work at the palace, but...

...but they are going missing.

One or two a week, the elves are dissapearing without a trace.

The dwarves think that they just got tired of working and left to bother someone else, but if they had tried to leave, they would have said something to their friends and family first. Maybe left some notice.

"We think someone is taking advantage of the collars to order them around and poach them as easy to catch slaves"

"We can't disobey the dwarves. Thats why we are "public servants", you see?" -explains Kalliira- "If one ordered us to follow them, we would, and we wouldnt be able to fight back, either

"The guards think we are just fleeing, but that's not it."

"P-please young lord. M-my young brother has gone missing!" -begs Kalliira from the floor

"Can I ask prince Okaba along as well? he's very much the type to help"

The elves look... quite relieved that you suggested so.

Aura opens the door. She's wearing really cutesy looking silk pajamas with little frilly details. She also has a plushie pegasus doll in her right hand.

Really Okaba, don't pamper her anymore. She's already pampered enough, man.

"Ah. Eldric, what is it?" -she asks with a sleepy face as she rubs her eyes with both hands.

She notices shes still carrying the plushie and blushes a little bit as she smiles, and throws it somewhere into the room.

"You saw nothing, got it?"
"Got it"
"So what do you need?"

You explain things to her, and she nods, nods.

"Alright, please wait a few minutes, I'll wake my Oka- I mean my master up"

Stop spoiling her, man!

A few minutes later, Okaba is at the door. He has everyone come in and asks you what this is about.

Once you have explained things, he looks at the elves for a minute...

"How long has this been going on?"
"For about three months, your highness" -says one of the male elves
"Alright. Aura go into the bath and get dressed."
"Yes master"

A few minutes later, Okaba does the same, and your lot go out of the palace towards the public servant's barracks

Well, if these are slave barracks, you have to admit the dwarves are rather considered.

The building is quite solid, clean, and organized. They don't have their own rooms, but the building is clearly split between male and female wings.

The elves seem grateful to see you. They explain again that they cant resist orders, and while thats usually not a problem (they are somewhat resiliant to, but admit the dwarves havent taken advantage like they thought they would), it does leave them exposed to the inevitable shameful criminal that has to exist everywhere.

"Is it any order, or specifically order by dwarves?" -asks Okaba

The elves arent quite sure, really.

"Alright, please raise your left hand"

The elves do so

"Master, this proves nothing. Here, let me... alright, elves, start jumping until you touch the roof"

The roof is 9 feet tall

When they start jumping, Aura seems to have fun until Okaba clears his throat.

"Oh, right, you can stop now."
"Well, that's actually helpful of you. Now that we know that. If any of you is involved on this, but has been ordered not to say anything, I am ordering you to speak now."

"Oh thanks the elder forest!" -says a girl from the back- "I was ordered to collect my things and leave later tonight without telling anything to anyone."

You know, looking at the dungeoneer class, if a target is unable to fight back, all they need to do is hit them with minimal damage while below 10% health and eventually they will turn into cards. It's just a matter of patience until the effect procs.

"B-but I want to come with you" -says Kalliira
"Oh wow, that's exactly the same thing I tell my Master every night. and nothing! 'I want to cu-' te~hee" -she pokes her tongue out as Okaba softly bops her on top of the head
"There's children present."
"If they're children, they won't get it. If they get it, they're not children. It's fine"

Lyann makes a face that says "I didin't get it", mildly annoyed

For now, the girl describes the person as a tall wolf-tribe beastman. He ran into her at the palace and just worded his order so that she couldnt tell anyone and had to leave trying not to get caught.

She had never seen him before.

You ask Kalliira to stay and take care of everyone, then go with Okaba to get Honoria.

The dwarven princess actually has a guard outside of her door.

Well... actually that makes sense.

You identify to the guard, and request that she wakes up Honoria.

The guard seems a bit reluctant, but does as you ask.

A few minutes later, Honoria is dressed in plenty of robes (a dwarf maiden's chastity is important) as she talks with you.

When she sees it is a important matter, she asks you to wait outside while she gets dressed, then goes with your group, bringing along her guards.

A small group of four dwarven defenders wielding halberds.

"We'll ambush them."

You go back to the elves barracks, and talk with the girl that had to disappear herself tonight.

She guides you out of the palace, and through an alley, where she stands i the dark after placing a black cloth bag on top of her head.

Yeah, this is a completely unfair situation. For a slaver, this is pretty much a dream come true, isin't it?

A part of you is surprised she wasnt asked to hold an apple on her mouth and tie herself up, too!

Well, you should hide, but you dont know which way the kidnappers are coming from. In this situation, hiding on either side of the alley is as bad or as good as the other.

In one direction is the palace, and in the other is a warehouse district.

Which way do you want to hide from?
* Palace, whoever it was was able to watch the girl for weeks before choosing her. They must come from the palace
* Warehouse. Obviously thats where their hideout is

>>35428348
Thats even worse. Perfect

>>35428365
>* Palace, whoever it was was able to watch the girl for weeks before choosing her. They must come from the palace

>>35428359
I only have their basic hp/armor/attacis, But why dont you use Aura as reference? she has NO magical items right now (because i didint had time to add any)

>>35428365
* Palace, whoever it was was able to watch the girl for weeks before choosing her. They must come from the palace

>>35428365
>* Warehouse. Obviously thats where their hideout is
Turn on Ranger, and use Stealth!

>>35428365
>* Palace, whoever it was was able to watch the girl for weeks before choosing her. They must come from the palace
This is an inside job if I ever saw it

>>35428365
Palace, but make two guards watch from the warehouse angle. It smells of an inside job but we should cover all possibilities.

>>35428365
Split party.

Dwarves by palace, us adventures by warehouse.

>>35428399
Hmm, so our pdv is a bit low, our base hp is very low and we need armor piercing to be able to actually hurt them.

>>35428482
er, armor, not base hp.

>>35428365
>* Warehouse. Obviously thats where their hideout is
They picked this place out for minimal exposure of her identity as a public servant and speed in getting her wherever she's going to be hidden.

If their hideout was somewhere else, she would've been directed to a different location

>post two guards...
Seriously? dont you think seeing elite guards is a big giveaway?

Hide so they dont see you if they come from the palace++++

>>35428417
Hide so they dont see you if they come from the warehouses+

After a while, you see two males approaching. One of them is a wolf-eared beastmen dressed in fine livery, and the other is the slave merchant that invited you to go visit his stockage.

"Seriously, he came himself? just how confident is he that the elfgirl will just follow along?" -asks Aura
"I'm guessing they have been doing this for months now. They must be quite sure it is safe" -says Okaba
"Wait a little until they pick the girl up." says Honoria to her guards

The dwarf has the wolfman pick the elf girl over his shoulder, and order her to be quiet as they take off towards the warehouse district.

* Jump down on them right now. Its 11 of you vs the two of them, and you already caught them hot handed, with the literal goods on their shoulders
* Follow them to their hideout. But just how stealthy can a group as big as yours be? how good are the wolvman's ears and nose?
* Other

Follow them with ranger stealth, tell the others to wait while we do so.

>pic related is super stealthy
lol, except assassin stealth, makes you stealthy even when you're standing right in front of an enemy.

If the dragon counts the same as eldric, there's no saying that he wouldn't be covered by the effect.

>>35428750
I'm not saying it wouldn't work. I just find the idea of a dragon as large as a house doing cartwheels in front of someone and not being seen amusing.

>>35428778
That would be a hell of an entrance though. Dude thinks he's gotten away scot free and then suddenly gigantic dragon right in his face.

>>35428810
Obligatory.

"I would have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids! And your golden dragon too!"

>>35428829
We need scooby snacks. They got weed here? You just know scoobs and Shaggy were potheads, no way they didn't contain the sacred herb.

>>35428688
this jus makes me laugh.
I mean, besides the fact that its a dragon, the fact that it tends to chirp when you summon him...
>>35428750
noone expects stealth dragon! just suddenly POW like a lightning out of the blue!

You tell your friends to wait while you follow them, promising to come back as soon as you see where they take the girl.

Lyann is completely opossed. Finally you tell her that she's going to be most useful by letting the anklets tell her on which direction hes going so they can follow the stealthed you from 100" away.

She finally agrees, and you start tailing the wolfman and the dwarf

"Uhmm... master, do I have to tell you about every single person nearby?"
"Again? I don't need you telling me there's a sleeping dwarf next to us every time we pass by a house again!"
"Just checking" -smirks the wolfman. He too has a obedience collar

You follow them into the warehouse district, and they do into a building after a few minutes.

The dwarf goes in after the wolfman and locks the door behind him.

You go back to your friends and guide them to the building.

Lyann had been following you, so they are quite close by.

"Alright, I'm not going to have anyone preying on our house servants, kick the door down!" -Honoria instructs the guards, who nod and get ready to do so, when the door opens

A small wolf beastman child is sucking her thumb as she looks at your group.

"Bro said to open the door for you" -she explains with a smile

"Uh... that's really nice from your brother..." -says Honoria

1/?

>>35428896
>He too has a obedience collar
Ah, so the wolfman is just being used like the elves.
I'd say no charges against him, them.

And especially since he detected us and found a way to not have to report us to the dwarf slaver.

>>35428896
Wait, so wolfguy wanted us to follow him?

>>35428953
Yeah, it's pretty obvious.
He has a slave collar, and he specifically was reporting every single dwarf in the area to get the slaver to rescind the order about reporting anyone in their area, so that we could follow them.

>>35428896
Hiding behind children eh? Bastards. They've probably sensed us coming and hid the girls away in secret compartments or something. Be on the lookout for such things.

Better yet, once inside have Honoria give an order: "By my right as heir to the throne, I order any and all servants of the crown to tell me exactly what they are doing this instant!"

That will reveal the slaves, then we have her order the wolfman to tell her everything about his master he was told not to and boom, we got em'!

"Also, Eldric. Your stealth sucks" -she adds
"Hey, its a wolf, you know. May have picked up my scent, what do I know about his kind? the dwarf didin't notice me"

The group goes in after the child. She is barely half as tall as Honoria, wearing a white rag as a shirt, and going pat pat pat as she runs around barefoot, her soft fluffy tail peeking up under her rags. She has deep dark hair and fur, with wolf ears standing up.

As you go in, you see plenty of wooden crates, but after a while you start seeing cages with dozens of slaves from many different races.

Well, slavery isin't illegal. As long as it is criminals.

You sort of doubt the little puppy girl with the collar in front of you is a criminal, tho.

After a while, you approach a light ahead.

The wolfman is gagging the girl after tying her up next to an open cage.

He sees you approach, and smiles.

"Ah, good night. I didin't expect to see the princess herself. I'm sorry, but i've been ordered to attack all intruders. I really do apologize for it. I will try and do a terrible job of it"

*Fight the wolfman. He cant help it
*Other

>>35428896
>noone expects stealth dragon! just suddenly POW like a lightning out of the blue!

You say this, but at the same time, no one else could actually pull this off. There are no knight hybrids that have stealth, as far as i know.

Something to keep in mind for the future, when dragonbro grows up a bit and starts roaring instead of chirping.

>>35429009
>*Other
I order you not to fight us.

>>35429009
Can't we order him not to attack? If that don't work, restrain him and take the collar off. I bet he'll be happy to spill the beans once we do that. If not, threaten his life. Criminals are held together by fear, once they fear the man more than the boss they spill it.

>>35429009
>*Other
lyann uses slow dance, while honoria orders him to stand down and help us before he reaches melee range.

>>35429009
>*Other
if ordering him wont work make a steel cage around him so he cant move with magic

>>35429009
*Other
Order the wolfman not to attack.
If that doesn't work:
Use our Avenger skill to Stop him by attacking via fist, and while he's Stopped, have the guards tie him up.

>>35429049
We can't take the collar off because it's a Cursed item. And threatening his life won't do shit because he's being compelled by the Collar to fight.

"I am terribly sorry, yur majesty, but I'm a privately owned slave. Only my master may command me. Again, truly terribly sorry about this" -he tries to be as polite as possible as his muscles start bulging and his fur stands on end.

His nails grow into claws as he grows a foot taller and starts advancing on our group.

Very slowly, thanks to lyann

The dwarves ready their halberds.

"Eldric, leave this man to us, you and the princess, go and arrest his master so he can order him to stand down." -proposes Okaba as he nods to Aura to step forth
"I always wanted to fight a beast warrior" -she says
"Don't hurt him" -says Okaba
"That's hardly fair" -says Aura

"Oh, the slaver is on the storefront. Be careful, there's traps on the door" -says the beastman

Actually this is not a bad idea

Anyway, the wolfman has, on top of his head

He's barehanded, if you can call his claws barehand

Aura and Okaba should have no issues against him. Though he's at least barbarian 20, which probably means nomad or villager 20 is hidden.

How about we cast a wall to keep him occupied before we leave?

>>35429186
*Go arrest his master
As much as I want to stop Rob quickly, we need to make sure that the Slaver is captured first.

>>35429218
52!? damn this guy is tough

>>35429186
Arrest the master, we have honor guards on this bastard, they got this.

>>35429186
>*Go arrest his master
use magic to make a stone pillar to open the door

>>35429186

'store front'. does that mean there's another entrance. we could walk in the front door, which he can't trap without harming customers.

This would also stop him from running out into the street and force him between our two groups.

>>35429238
Weaponthane is 3rd tier advanced, so he would have to have more class levels than 12.

alright everyone seems to agree on taking the slaver down first, and I like your idea so lets go with it

You go around and Honoria's guards kick the door down.

You find the slaver writing a letter on the front desk

"What the..!? what is the meaning of this!?"

The man reaches behind the counter for his crossbow.

"You are under arrest, sir, for illegal trade in slaves, stealing royal property, unlawful use of magical items, and I am sure dad will come up with a half dozen extra charges."

"Rob, get your ass here! I need help, you mangy cur!" -he starts running towards the back

*Stop him
*Let him go into the back, so he opens the trapped door for you

>>35429403
>>*Let him go into the back, so he opens the trapped door for you
lyann's with us, so she slow him when the door's open and we can trap with a wall or just beat him into submission.

>>35429403
>*Let him go into the back, so he opens the trapped door for you
Also, Stealth now so that we can Petrify him and Rob both.

>>35429414
DAMN IT! oh well lets note that done for the future because if all slavers are as dumb as this guy we will be fine

>>35429459
So if I'm reading this right, feydakin 'weirding way' is an add on to stalk, which terrify is part of. Which means if we unlock that class, we'll be able to area petrify every turn.

You let him get to the door and use his key to open it.

"You cur, what the... fight properly, you treacherous dog!" -says the merchant
"Only someone submissive could ever betray you, scum. When was I ever submissive to you?" -says Rob, then to Aura- "I am sorry miss, but it looks like I am going to have to fight seriously now. At least I'm unarmed"

You appear and STOP the dwarf and the beastman.

CRACK!

The hell?

CRACK!

Rob breaks the [Stop] by himself, his muscles bulging as he grows another half foot tall

He easily picks up Aura with one hand and throws her through several empty cages,

"Sorry!" -he shouts
"I'm okay! I landed on some cottom bags!" -says Aura
The wolfman smirks

The guards surround the slaver, and he comes out of the stop to find himself surrounded

"Brass, help!" -he shouts
The wolfman sighs, and starts heading towards your group

Lyann slows him down

He howls as the [Slow] icon appears next to his name

[Slow] This unit can only move 5" per turn - Source, Lyann

Rob takes a deep breath, and the icon literally gets sucked in.

His muscles bulge even more

[Champion of Gaia] Icon appears next to his name

You neutralize any buffs and debuffs on yourself, and gain +50 str per effect. This effect lasts the rest of the encounter. Current charges: 2

"Terribly sorry" -says the wolfman as he picks up a steel cage and swings it at the guards.

"Cant let them get away, kill them all!" -says the slaver

"Shit" -says Rob

This doesn't work as long as the dwarf can tell him not to use that ability on the collar, and he may well have done so previously since he's still wearing it.

>>35429691
This. We can hold back rob long enough for everyone else to beat the dwarf into submission.

get in close to the slave and threaten to kill him(or cripple him and threaten not to heal him).

***

You get in front of the massive, brass colored wolfman.

"Sir, please stop!"
"Sorry kid. Would really want to"

He swings his claw at you. You take 72 damage. The blow echoes through the shield and the bracelets, and you feel as if your legs were jelly

"Get that guy to give up, guys!" -you shout

"You heard him. I assure you, I can very well blast you away in one shot" -says Okaba
"I'm unarmed! i'm unarmed!" cries the dwarf as he curls in on the floor- "Brass, kill the kid already!"

"He's quite tough, actually. Besides, you were too cheap to get me a weapon, remember? " -the wolfman says, quite happy to mess with the slaver

"Can't you just eat the collar?"
"He'll order the others to die if I do that" -he says
"The collars can't do that, it's a bluff!" shouts honoria
"No it isin't, you mutt!"

Rob looks like hes doubting...

*Call the slaver's bluff. Surely the collars cant kill on command. If they could, other enchantments wouldnt be neccesary
*The princess is bluffing, keep trying to intimidate the dwarf

>>35429838
I liked that one

>>35429895
>*Call the slaver's bluff. Surely the collars cant kill on command. If they could, other enchantments wouldnt be neccesary


>You take 72 damage. The blow echoes through the shield and the bracelets, and you feel as if your legs were jelly

cmon, that was 2% of our health. We took heaver (proportional) damage from those floating hand things when we first entered a dungeon.

>>35429895
*The princess is bluffing, keep trying to intimidate the dwarf
id rather not risk it plus we can take it

>>35429895
*other

regardless of whether it's a bluff, it becomes a moot point if the dwarf can't talk.

Gag that bastard or do a silence debuff and wolfie can absorb his collar. We can then remove the dwarf outside of hearing range.

>>35429992
Oh, that's a good one. Tell rob that you're going to silence the room, and that he should eat the collar during that time period. Tell the others to gag the dwarf while this is happening.

>>35429895
*Third Option: gag the dwarf so he can't issue commands, then have Rob eat the Collar.

>>35429895
>"I'm unarmed! i'm unarmed!" cries the dwarf as he curls in on the floor- "Brass, kill the kid already!"

This is...bizarre. He's telling them not to hurt him, but at the same time yelling at someone else to kill everyone. One kind of cancels the other.

>>35430078
Yeah. Kill the dwarf, have rob eat the collar. He probably knows enough to help us find the other kidnapped elves.

>>35429895
Isn't Okaba an expert on this? Can't we just ask him if that's possible? I wouldn't think it would be possible, but can't take a chance.

Use silence+++
I like this idea a lot

You explain the situation to Rob, and call on the sword's magical silence.

It is completely quiet. Rob blinks, and rips the collar off his neck.

He doesnt needs to eat it now. The collar cant do anything inside magical silence.

You take the dwarf into custody. Rob gives up for his involvement on kidnapping the elves.

Honoria says that he will probably be released or suffer a very minor sentence. You cant fault a slave for following orders

Indeed, a few days later you see Rob outside the courts. He's been left free after checking records to make sure he wasnt enslaved for criminal actions to begin with.

He has the little puppygirl with him. They are both wearing proper clothing this time.

He was given the dwarf's business as compensation and reward for his help during the arrest.

"Im going to check everyone's records and free anyone who's not a criminal" -he says- "I cannot thank you enough, young lord."

"I didint do anything."

"You helped when others wouldnt have. That's doing something. Here, Stella, say thank you."

He lowers the petite girl, who timidly says

"Thank you"

Then she hugs Rob again, and he picks her up.

"What will you do after freeing everyone?" -asks Lyann
"Not everyone, just those who deserve it" -he corrects her
"Well, what will you do then?"
"I have no intention of continuing that business., so I will sell it to someone and relocate to the east"

He holds Stella so shes right in front of you. He has no trouble holding her in the palm of his hand.

"Thank him properly." -he says

"... t-thank you" -says the tiny puppy girl, as she blushes
"Alright, you did good" -he pats her gently with his other hand.- "I'll stay in the city for a few weeks. Come see me if you need anything, alright?" -he says as he bows sligthly

"Thank you." -you say politely
"No, thank you, young lord. Your house's reputation is safe in your hands." -he says as he walks off

>>35430269
No, but its triggered abilities cant trigger
Such as "kill any slave that attempts to remove you" or "punish any slave that disobeys X order"

Lyann's regeneration is constant, as is her extra speed

Healing scrolls wouldnt work inside a magical silence area, either
Come think about it. I think an angel ring wouldnt, either.

The important thing is just unlocking a whole bunch of jobs and stacking stats. I'm actually surprised okaba hasn't unlocked all of aura's starter jobs like we did with lyann. It's such an obvious thing to do, especially when the cost is absolutely trivial to you.

i just had a moment of inspiration the next rank after scion is Hero then Champion followed by Legend and there should be a requirement besides the levels to rank up like to get to hero
you have to save a city or something difficult

>>35430753
Nah, I'd rather something like that changed our class than just gave us another job.

You visit Rob's Store a few hours later. You find he's stripped it down. Most of the cages are gone now. He let everyone who wasnt a criminal free, and split the slaver's posessions with them.

All that's left slave-wise is a dolphin beastman and ...the former slaver himself.

"Oh, young lord. Welcome. Would you like to buy a dwarf?"
"...no, thanks."
"Probably for the best. This one's a treacherous and cowardly guy"
"ha ha, so funny!" -says the dwarf

"I'm just honest with the customer" -says rob

You explain to Rob about the orphanage, and he seems interested. After talking about it with Okaba, he has no problem receiving the three children Rob couldnt reunite with his families.

He says that since you helped him yet again, he owes you a life debt now.

You already gave him his freedom, and showed him the worth of your heart. If you'd accept him, he'd like to follow you.

He also doesnt knows about the skill system

you missed the point
He was a level 12 weaponthane
thats a 3rd tier job
So he has
20 barbarian
20 thane
52 slave
12 weaponthane
5 nomad

actually saying 72 was a joke reference to the wolfmao slave lvl72 shieldbro couldnt buy

depending on how you measure levels, Rob would be 111... depending on how you measure it

>>35430930
First thing we should do is buy him all the slave starter jobs and swap him back to nomad class. He will level just as fast as everyone while still having monstrous stats.

Man, he's already halfway to getting Scion, so I'm tempted to have him stay Slave until he get it.

>>35431006
It really depends on how exp scales.

If it's linear, as in level*x xp to go up one level, then keeping him as slave till scion makes sense.

If it's quadratic, like level^2, then it could go either way, depending on the exact formula.

If it's geometric, like 2^level, then it makes no sense to keep him a slave.

We really need to experiment with levels and dungeons a bit to figure out what the xp curves in this world actually are.

>>35429009
>ordered to attack all intruders
>not pointing out that you aren't intruders as you were invited inside by the kid
Sighs.

>>35431006
Considering how prevalent slavery is, and how long lived some of the races are, it seems strange that more scions haven't popped up. I mean, it takes 100 years of life as a slave, without any other xp gain, to get scion, and elves definitely can do that.

"I am honored by your offer, thankyou."
"Ah, alright young lord. Should I get one of the leftover collars?"
"The hell...? no! I'm not keeping any slaves!"
"Uhm? but, the young miss...?"
"She's my sister!"

"Eldric bought me and then took me in as his sister. These cuffs are actually enchanted for my protection" -she explains

"Oooh! my opinion of you seems to go up every day since meeting you, young lord. Well, I will be here in the meantime. If I sell these two criminals, I will go look for you at the palace, but come pick me up if you need me for anything."
"Actually... could you come with me to the temple? I have an idea."

Do you guys want to unlock all of Stella's jobs too? she's just a lvl2 mamluck/lvl 2 slave right now (with lvl 2 barbarian/level 2 nomad off)

Since she's going to stay with Rob unless he has to go out adventuring, she's coming along (bonus?)

>>35431243
sounds good to me

>>35431243
Sure. The more powerful allies we have, the better.

>>35431243
>Do you guys want to unlock all of Stella's jobs too?
Unlock everyone's starter jobs.

Then change their class(villager/nomad?)and unlock all their starting classes again.

we have the gold and it's a quick way to raise stats and bonus points.

>>35431153
I know, right?

>>35431314
>Then change their class(villager/nomad?)and unlock all their starting classes again.

Sadly we can't do this. We can give all the slave jobs because there is no level requirement to swap jobs. Nobles have to be 10, nomads 5 and villagers 10.

>>35431324
FUCK! we missed another way around it! first my one about gotta save his master to this

>>35431243
Yes, unlock all Jobs but keep the Classes for now.
The Class has some really good stat bonuses, and Rob is already halfway to Scion.

>>35431173
high mortality rate, not everyone is as nice to their slaves as you and okaba, and nice people tend to not keep slaves to begin with

alright give me about 10 minutes, hold on

>>35431395
>stat bonuses

What are you talking about? Stats are permanently added upon level up.

And again, we don't know what the xp curves in this world are. He might be halfway to scion, but each level costs more than the sum total of all the levels before it.

>>35431449
The stat increases provided at each level-up of a Class is what I'm talking about.

Slaves get +2 Str, Dex, and Con, and get 4 times the HP of a Nomad and twice that of a Villager on level up.

Nomad only gets +1 Str and Con, and +2 Dex.
Villager is +1 Str, Dex, and Con.

And because we don't know how XP curves, and because changing Classes is harder to rationalize than Jobs for a person, I think it's easier to keep his Class unchanged for now.

>>35431536
>and because changing Classes is harder to rationalize than Jobs for a person

You go to a priest and he changes both. Done.

>>35430815
So what do priests know about a person when they change their classes/jobs? Do they get a listing of everything that person has?

>>35431588
You don't think a person deserves to hear why their Class is being changed?

>>35431713
'You're no longer a slave'.

>>35431726
Except the case I'm talking about is changing a person's Class back to Slave, either to unlock Scion, or to continue getting the extra HP and stats on level-up.

>>35431773
No it wasn't. The case you're talking about is Rob, going from 52 slave back to 7 villager so he can get lots of cheap stat points.

If we wanted to change elli back to slave and start leveling her to scion? Definitely an explanation required.

>>35431830
People want to change Rob back to Villager.
I'm saying that he should stay Slave, because if we change him to Villager and then figure out it's more economical for him to have stayed Slave to get Scion, it's going to be more awkward to get him to become a Slave again.

>>35431911
At that point, we need to get mom to let us talk about scion to people we trust and explain the situation to Rob.

may also want to buy him a knife or something. Right now all he has gear wise is pants and his claws (which im counting as two handed since he swipes with both hands at once, btw)

Want me to just buy him 5 [fine steel] armor parts with 2 slots each?

>>35432157
Buy him the armor, and basic accessories for all slots.
As for the weapon, ask Rob if he has a preference for sword & shield, or two-handed weapons.
Get him the one he prefers.

I checked, and there's no listed preference for those Jobs, so it's probably a personal and cultural preference.

There's pretty much no challenge for several floors. The worst problem was a boss who kept spamming sleep spells, and then punching everyone while they were asleep, but that only lasted until we asked Rob to start eating the sleep status and when we woke up, the sheep-headed boss was flat on the floor with a huge maul-shaped mark on its skull.

She isn't actually taking part tho right? so not getting a large amount done is probably why

>>35433493
As far as I understand it, she should be getting full xp even if she's just leeching.

>>35433505
But aren't the upper levels converted to a foodgeon with weaker enemies and low XP?

>>35433505
Well mamluk aside she is just a kid so naturally her level is going to be low if it is tied to age somewhat but whatever she will probably come with us in the future

>>35433453
you uys are sucking exp from her. You know, level difference.

I wonder if I should just give exp evenly? i actually used to use the method where you'd get bonus exp if you were lower level when running D&D back in the day, to help yuo catch up to the others...

Its just so hard to imagine a 4 yrs old toddler as high level, you know?

>>35433356

>>35433536

What counts for this? Class level difference? Sum total of active jobs?

>>35433536
dont give exp evenly that would make alot of over powered people

Oh, I mistrandlated. What shieldbro's slave correction does is give extra stats per level to slaves, not extra exp

This is from the novel, btw. I think it was skipped in the manga

Want to change it to stat bonus instead of exp? Its why rafaella is kicking around dragons at level 42 in the LN

>>35433540
uhmm... i guess there would be, sure. No idea right now, but sounds good to me

>>35433561
as long as shes not a wizard so she cant send you to the cornfield

>>35433597
I guess that depends on the amount of stats. Exp is good since it allows us to unlock more jobs faster.

>>35433597
I think the bonus XP is better than bonus stats, because we can simply level more Jobs to get more stats.

Also, when we get back to Albion, we need to drag Elli to a Temple and open up all of her Villager jobs, switch her back to Nomad, open all those jobs, then switch her back to Villager.

That way we can get this passive feat for any class of party member we have, barring Noble.

>>35433679
Elli has slave and nomad, not villager.

>>35433706
she has villager shes a craftsman

>>35433706
Then maybe ask Mom to do it? Or our regular dungeon diving group? Being able to provide XP bonuses to everyone in our party, not just ourselves, is both good in getting down to deeper levels of dungeons and it's a good thing to do for friends.

>>35433679
Slave is the only class that can unlock all its jobs at once. Every other class requires you to have at levels in the job first. Nobles and villagers require level 10, nomads require level 5.

That said, if we can deal with floor 20+ getting elli all the nomad jobs in addition to the slave jobs shouldn't take very long.

>>35433767
slaves have craftsman as starting job

>>35433569
highest level. Brass is basically level 52 compare to us and lyann who are level 24
Stella was level 2, that was a 50 levels difference. I think its lucky she got any exp at all

Also we didint got enough to level either

Going with brass its super fast and safe but not very good exp wise

Its great if you are farming loots, tho.
