You back out of the room. You know where the powder store is now, so you can always return later. You soar through the cove, plucking the ring from the Shah's corpse as you pass by and flying it up to the other side of that weird stone barricade. You bury the ring in the ash, marking the spot by melting the ash on top of it with a big 'X'. That done, you soar back towards the facility. You estimate that you still have about twenty three minutes of incorporeality left, so you're not too terribly worried about running out of juice while you explore.

You reach the tower quickly and slow, approaching it cautiously. You don't see any sentries, indeed you don't see any manner of external entrance to the tower. Presumably one would need to climb up from below. Banks of windows surround the top of the central tower, pulsing brightly with light at this late hour. You soar up to get a glimpse inside, finding a chaotic scene before you. Men and women dash in every direction, you can faintly make out their voices even through the glass. Inside seems to be some sort of control room, banks of consoles lining everything.

What you find most striking about it all is that it seems to be in working order. It's not looted, it's not broken. Plant life seems to have taken root in some places, mostly crawling vines, but it seemed intentionally placed. Most of the controls seem to be projected above the surface of the device, and the staff manning each console tap away at the projections rapidly. What are they even monitoring? What is there to monitor? This place must have an AI of some sort maintaining it and running everything, that's the only explanation that would account for how all of this is still functional after a millennia of disuse.

You also question where a simple pirate got an apparently well trained and professional team of vatis, or at the very least a team of scholars, to work in this control tower. The vast majority of the men and women inside were human, rather than Samjan. They wore long robes, by and large, and you think you might've seen one with a communication brooch pinned at his collar.

Their leader sits in a throne on top of a raised platform, looking down on the chaos around him calmly and speaking seemingly to himself. He is a Samjan, and wears a purple robed lined with gold. The colors of a Grandmaster. On his cheek is branded the symbol for 'Trickster'. Indicating that he either played a prank or misled someone into a course of action that resulted in the death of another Samja.

You sink away from the window, considering your next course of action. You could try to get inside, but that would include the risk of detection. You might also leave the place as is, and swing down to the village to try and figure out what's going on. You also consider retrieving a keg and manipulating it up to the top of the tower before setting it off, but that would likely drain your reserves severely, to lift something that heavy.

Blowing the powder is retarded, if I remember right the ship isn't even here, and they probably took a good portion of the Pirates with them.

When their ships are not here the only thing blowing the powder does is take care of the cove. The powder should be blown when the ships are in to take care of them.

As for voting to CARRY a keg with manipulate up to the metal tower (which is what that vote is for) and ignite it to cause minor damage, yeah, that's a lot of vys for little gain.

>>35466187
I'm just waiting for our timer to run out and we're left butt naked in the middle of the super pirate stronghold with no escape plan and no backup. We're already balls deep so no point in stirring up drama. Here's hoping we're good at improvising.

>>35466331
It's real simple though, we go back to our stash of stuff before the timer runs out and then get closer to the camp on foot and do a repeat hit of the cloudsauce once their ships come back and get them BTFO. Mission accomplished. And also spy on them to see where they take their treasure, though it's likely somewhere safe inside the tower anyways the primary mission'll get accomplished.

>>35466331
That makes me wonder.

Soma, is the momentum we have while incorporeal preserved once it wears off?
Because if it doesn't we could be a Magic Miksile.

As the Anon who started persuasive sperging and introduced the rules of debate on 4chan, I am both amused and horrified at how questers are using these techniques to make every choice a battle.

What in the world has lead you to believe she is autistic in the least? She is kinda unfriendly but what do you expect from a hermit we met like a week ago? Also cowtits but not fat. I am sure she could get some fuck if she wanted it.

You retreat from the tower, flying instead towards the village. You've yet to figure out just where it is the fleet went, and if you can set off the powder storage room while the fleet is moored you'd like to at least attempt to do so. However, as you soar towards the collection of ramshackle huts that makes up the village you note that a number of pirates seem to be rushing towards the cave entrance. Most of them wear Vatis robes, though one of them is currently nude save for a loincloth and another is simply wearing pants and a shirt.

You soar by overhead, none of them seem to notice you. All of them, save the barely clothed one of course, are wearing brooches. Could that man in the tower have noticed you? Could he have seen you earlier? You don't think so, but then why are these men running towards the cave entrance?

You continue on to the village. As you are, you appear as little more than a shadow. With the darkness of night descending on the village, you manage to largely slip through crowds of revelers and drunks unseen. At one point a man cries out, but you don't think that was due to you.

You slip into what appears to be a busy tavern of some sort, drunken men slouched against the wall outside, some of them with their arms slung around prostitutes. You note that all three of the races are represented, mostly Samjan and Humans, but you do see a few Elves. You pass through the crowd, a sensation you find incredibly odd. It's warm, and wet, and generally unpleasant yet as soon as you're through you feel nothing.

In the crowd of bodies you go mostly unnoticed, but just to be safe you retreat to a shadowed corner and press yourself against the ceiling, listening in on the chatter.

(1/2)

“Oi mate, I'll fuckin' pop you-”
“-can't believe-”
“-the entire fuckin' navy!”
“Nah, nah. Listen. Whatcha gotta do is-”
“I think that hooker might've-”
“MORE BEER DAMN IT!”
“Already set out-”
“Betcha ten gold they come back un-fuckin'-scathed.”
“No, no I'm not doubling up on a-”
“Really? Elven women are disg-”
“-WANNA TAKE THIS OUTSIDE?!-”
“-fucker's so demanding.”
“Can't believe you turned on the Shah like that.”
“-good pay-”
“-few hours, maybe-”
“That prostitute is at least six hundred years old-”
“Did that shadow in the corner just move?”

You quickly toss up an illusion depicting the shadowed corner before you took up residence there. It's a simple task at your level of Fire Magic expertise, and the man who seemed to notice you quickly dismisses it as a trick of the light. You pass through the wall behind you, dropping the illusion once you're gone and soaring up above the city. You definitely think you got a lot out of ease dropping, though it was difficult to keep track of the various strings of conversation. You know that the Shah was betrayed, by someone currently fraternizing with pirates. You know that there is a six hundred year old prostitute somewhere on the island. They might also know that the Navy is coming to put an end to them, or perhaps that particular sailor was embellishing another story.

You ought to have about eighteen minutes left of incorporeality.

So pirates rushing to cave entrance. I am guessing that either the ships are coming in to restock and refuel or the control tower was able to pick up some one fucking around in there but were unable to pinpoint us b/c of the potion.

So, am I the only one who thinks that this might not be a random group of pirats, but a paramilitary group? How else would they be able to work all the complex shit and everyone has comm broches?

>>35467675

>>35467578
Lets go reclaim the one we looted way back when. Pay some peole to guard it. And then go back to adventuring reclaiming facilities as we go. Once we have a bunch, mine a tunnel system between them, start making robots with sk and fulvia help, and then go reclaim the ones banished guys have. After we have them all and all the tunnels set up, we start slowly taking over. Not through brute force though, political trickery, put people who we pay or who owe us big time into positions of power, make them well liked by giving them totally not ooc character advice. Then we roll out in brute force, "forcing" these big cities to surrender when we are really just taking the reigns from our workers. Then we can wage an all out war. Long live the empire.

>>35467675
The better question is.
Why aren't we murdering some of these traitorous scumbags?

>>35467735
>Fulvia and Mortia approve of this action.

>>35467735

If we get into that mentality we'll keep putting off getting gud forever.

>>35468544
Still gotta deal with insanity, and our git gud time isn't spread thin, we've just been having too much of a life, we need to go full hermit and focus on getting shit done and nothing else.

>>35468575
Metal is garbage man. Nature is definetly worth our time though.

>>35468471
Which is why we should meditate on the armors I really don't care about learning runes in the process its more of learning what it can actually do.

>Banished Quest: Time managment simulator

>>35468672
You joke, but it's true.

>>35468639
We want metal for the not going batshit insane passive buff. That and once we have Metal+Create and work along with SK we can start creating parts for his mad experiments.

>>35468672
I wish filling our reserves didn't take so long, we should only meditate out at sea from now on, maybe even submerged underwater if that speeds it up more

>>35468709
I thought metal only helped sanity if you are prepared for the hit. I wasn't aware there was a passive buff, cool

>>35468721
I'm surprsied we haven't started leeching vys more often. I understand its a bad habit to get in to, but hey when in combat or pressed for time, may as well make use of it.

>>35468744
Passive buff is only at like GM level.

One thing's for sure, there was a guy from the other thread that calculated that there was slightly less than one kiloton of explosive jn that room. That makes it on the scale of a low yield nuclear device and might take out half the island.

So if we do blow that stockpile. We beeter be as far into the ocean as possible.

>>35468782
We're incorporeal.
Ain't gotta be worried 'bout shit.

>>35468777
I thought it was incremental? It's worth working towards getting either way. Since Mik has shit actively trying to degrade his sanity.

>>35468746
Vys bank belt.
We should make it. We can get the monks to dump their spare vys into everynow and again, that way it'll charge up even faster. Seriously I want this belt, especially if we hide the gems, and if we figure out how to hide the vys signature.

You make your way towards the massive building which comprises the majority of the pirate's fortress. Seriously, how the hell did they come to control this place? Was it merely luck, or did somebody help them? The place appears to be in nearly perfect working condition, the whine of one of its turbines filling the air as you draw close to what appears to be the entrance.

You slip through the wall and find yourself in an empty corridor, the entryway presumably. You soar onward, down the hall, and pass through a set of sealed double doors of Rhynian make. You find yourself entering a vast grand hall, exits branching off in many directions and a lift sitting at the very end. Clocks seem to be everywhere, a fact you find odd. One would do the trick, you'd think.

While likely once spotless, professional, and clean the Grand Concourse has seen quite a bit of defacement. Graffiti adorns seemingly every inch of every wall, much of it carved but some of it painted on. You note dozens of beds spread out around the space, presumably they ran out of room in the barracks to house everyone. Animal bones, trash, food, and knick-knacks lie haphazardly all about the place. It smells of cooked meat, sex, and pipe weed.

You soar through, staying high above. There are skylights, but you don't think they're real. For one, the image they're projecting is one of a bright, sunny day when, in fact, it's nearly completely dark out. The place is completely abandoned, not a soul in sight save for a lone cat sleeping on someone's bed. You'd take a moment to pet the animal, a fat orange tabby, were you only able to actually touch things.

We have an alchemist, couple of earth vatis, and a guy from the !future who likely knows about smokeless power.

>>35468902
That changes nothing, raw materials to make that would be costly, there is free shit right here. And I wanna take them.

>>35468884
There's a whole village. There's probably quite a number of little kids. Sons and daughters of prostitutes or just wives, girlfriends, et cetera. Kids we'd kill if we set off the gunpowder.

>Up the elevator shaft

>>35468951
And?

>>35468951
I don't wanna blow the gun powder but I could give two shits about the "innocents"

>>35468951
Considering that these "pirates" have gone and committed a terrorist attack and that I'm American my sympathy is lacking a little.

>>35468843
Who is going to buy this shit from us? Cannons aren't exactly just lying around.

>>35468951
What kind of dumbass pirars bring there kids with them? Ones who obviously want them to get enslaved or killed.

I just want to fuck everything up for the pirates forever and pls go

>>35469137
Sadik of course, man will buy any thing, I mean he was interested in a rhyian generator, who needs one of those. Oh shit Sadik is working with these guys isn't he?

>>35469137
So why did we not chase after that group of pirates again? We're kind of just dicking around instead of sabotaging anything at all.

>>35469183
We're scouting shit out, you need to know where you are to effectively kill the endless waves of pirates

>>35469180
Sadik is busy doing Sadik things

>>35469211
Or we could simply be losing time by checking out places where the fighting isn't likely to reach.

>>35469280
Or we could be dismantling their communications and weapons center.

You pause for a moment, hovering above the cat, to reach down with a manipulate spell and pet it. It darts awake, startled. However, after a moment it settles down and starts purring. You really kind of want a pet. You had a few dogs growing up, mainly hunting dogs, and your master had his hawk, his goat, and various other animals.

You shake your head to banish those thoughts, returning to the far more serious matter of exploring a massive pirate fortress. You float off towards the elevator shaft, passing through the doors and then soaring through the ceiling of the lift. You make quick progress up the elevator shaft, stopping at every door and peeking your head through. You find a cafeteria, once more abandoned, as well as what appears to be an engineering deck. You paused there, and took a moment to scout out the floor. Unlike the previous two levels, several men paced through the narrow, cramped corridors making sure all the machinery was in working order. You didn't proceed far enough to determine just what they were monitoring exactly.

The level above engineering seemed to largely be given over to private rooms. You peeked into a few but didn't find anything of particular value. You stand now before the last door at the top of the elevator shaft, having paused once you heard voices filtering through from the other side. If you had to guess, this is the command center, that control room you spied at the top of the tower. Judging by the distance between this floor and the previous floor, you wouldn't be terribly surprised.

Trying to figure out what the shit is up with a bunch of pirates having fully functioning Rhynian navel facility first of all. Secondly, our main goal before going into this was to 86 the ship that took out what should have been the most well defended ship in the Shahdom. If that monster isn't with in our reach, in makes sense to try and wait.

I am only worried that our movements have been roughly tracked since we made land fall and our cache of stuff has been raided, which would leave us naked in the middle of this hornet's nest. Think: magic can interact with us, there is a radar tower/command tower, and the Rhynians loved using wizardry to produce analogues of modern tech. Magic radar/security systems.

Basically? We're being hosted by our own fucking petards. Because of some dipshit senator named Charlie Wilson, we literally spent more than fifty billion dollars to fund the training and equipping of the terrorists try to blow up our airports today. Now we're spending billions on incompetent Iraqi sots who can't be assed to even fight, blowing up women and children with our giant automated birds shooting three hundred pound missiles, turning people into red mist that just happened to be in the wrong place with the wrong people. As players in a simulated world, I can accept civilian casualties. As a human being, I call you a faggot of the greatest caliber, a progeny of the most sordid fetid cur, and most gaumless of easily lead, cretinous sheep. The only army program that was empiracally proven to lower hostility and improve middle Eastern relations was the Engineer Corps and Sea Bee's infrastructure projects. Only they don't get funded or passed because of Senators as stupid, corrupt, and malleable as Charlie Wilson.

The easiest way to change the world is to destroy those that presume themselves strong for their positions, either economical or political. Eliminate them and their pride and you get to set the new status quo. The only thing stopping you is your own weaknesses and fragile mental limitations.

It's just mildly annoying. The poor guy was just trying to make a personal statement, and he gets dumped on by the joker. Not to mention, in my opinion, might makes right is one of the saddest truths in our world. I kind of like the idea that doing something for others is its own reward, but the fact is that in the end, all that matters is who's on top sickens me, and the one that does the right thing is usually getting crushed by the more... expedient person.

Maybe if people who do "good" weren't so weak, this wouldn't be a problem.

>>35470239
You take the internet and life too seriously.

You stride through the door separating you from the command center. Immediately you find yourself immersed in a crowd of men and women dashing to and fro, most too busy to spare a glance your way. The only exception seems to be their leader, who immediately turns his sun-weathered, bearded face in your direction. Fortunately someone cries out something about a mutiny, and you're able to slip into the shadows beneath a console. When he turns back towards the elevator doors, you're gone.

You slip around the room, sticking to the shadows. Every time you emerge that old bastard seems to zero in on you like a hawk, it's unsettling. You'd guess that it's all the plants that surround the room, he's probably a nature vatis. Thus, whenever you emerge from the shadows he can see you from a dozen different angles, making it difficult to hide from him. However, he never seems to be quite certain of whether he's seen you or not, and after a time you figure out a trick. You begin projecting an illusion of the area you're about to pass through in front of you, thus making it appear as though you never passed at all. This method seems sufficient to trick him.

For a time you simply wander the control room, listening in on all the chatter. You learn much, much more than you did at the bar, as every utterance seems to be of vital importance.
(1/2)

“-battle is concluded, finishing off stragglers-”
“-three ships, but two others mutinied to join our ranks.”
“That's not good enough, are we sure the artifact is working?” It's the first time you've heard their leader speak, his voice is quiet, but somehow seems to carry throughout the room over the din of constant noise.
“Positive, sir. We've-”
“Reports coming in, ship rammed into the Leviathan, capsizing it.”
“Divert near-by vessels to rescue surviving crew.”
“No sign of the Shahzada's personal vessel.”
“Keep searching, the wreckage especially. Our client demands-”
“No sign of any disturbance in the powder storage room.”
“Any word from the scouts we sent to the old tower?”
“Not yet, sir.”
“Send a second party, I don't like that they've been gone this long.”
“Sir, the Immortal and its escort are making the return journey, ETA three hours.”

Wait, they're looking for the Shahzada? You'd had a creeping suspicion that Shahzada Kadir commissioned his father's death. Why would they be searching the wreckage for his ship amongst the wreckage? You suppose there are other Shahzadas, the Shah, or previous Shah rather, had many, many children with his four wives and was somewhat infamous for his sexual appetites. However, typically one only refers to the heir apparent as the Shahzada or Shahzadi.

The weak were destined to be where they are. It was predetermined, their place at the bottom below everyone, through their lack of ambition and desire for strength.

First of all, get it into your head that war isn't the way to go. Torture and secret, classified executions with a 3:1 civilian to target ratio will never solve anything. Then, do research. Follow the money. Do you know how Senators Lockheed has in its pockets to order jet engines for tanks that are literally wrecked for scrap metal? We spend DOZENS of billions of dollars of tanks that the military simply doesn't have the manpower to use. Imagine if just a fraction of that money went to building a proper school so that a thousand boys and girls can do something with their lives other than manual labor on an oil rig or factory sweat shop. You just get an Army Engineer four million or a Sea Bee five and they'll build you best damn sturdiest school they can. "Defense" reappropriations are literally the greatest source of untapped potential for good we have available to us as citizens. Which is funny because the money came from our taxes and public education funds in the first place. Stretch your google-fu. There's lot of organizations dedicated to turning needless blades into plows. These people are those that will male a difference. Not those occuppy-whatever drama fags.

Good people aren't necessarily weak. They just tend to carry a lot more baggage, with a lot more things they refuse to do. Trying to take the path that looks out for people other then yourself can be exhausting, and despite what fiction says, it's rarely replicated. The majority of the time, the guy that's always there for others is stuck high and dry when he's in need himself. Meanwhile, the people that get where they are without worrying about screwing over have little trouble getting getting others to help them with stuff, because they want what the ruthless guy has.

>>35470518
>overestimating illusion our powers
>thinking a spike in the neck would kill someone with at least a couple master water vatis in the room
Yeah, nah.

Guys as tempted as I am by the prospect of an ambush this guy will probably be able to avoid that initial strike well enough. I'm more in favor of getting what info we can and then relaying it to the others. Mik is vulnerable to magic and its a room full of Vatis, even if we're successful in our ambush we'll likely get taken out. Blowing up the generators is an okay idea but we should get in touch with Fulvia before we try it. Peek in, book it, get stuff. Communicate on the situation and then get ready to act from there.

>>35470566
If it hits the brain surely they can't heal that.

But yeah, it's a bad idea. Let's just wait for the ships and then kabamo.

My guess is that our party is coming for us. They are either on the mutinied ships, responsible for the scouts not reporting at the "old tower" or both. What we really need is to recorporiate, kill a guy with a brooch in order to get a direct line on the pirates and then check in with our people.

Here's how it works, if an asset is in enemy control and it can hurt you then it's worth it more to destroy it than it is to leave it alone and "probably" capture it at a later time. If you don't believe me you can ask WWII. Yes, all of WWII. Go ask it.

You do realize the mutinied ships are ships that belongedto the Shazada but are now attacking him, right?

>>35470657
I'd bet that's the pirates primary means of recruitment. Didn't Soma say something about the Navy basically enslaving villagers at every seaside town it passed?

>>35470667
What a shame they'll get assploded. But hey, they mutinied and made their watery bed.

>>35470667
The pirates also have some sort of an artifact, which I expect to be a brainwasher/mindfuckery thing.

>>35470677
So they've sent scouts to that tower, hopefully when we return to our stuff we'll be smart enough to change our location, aye?

>>35470657
Yeah that was exactly why I though portions of our party were on them. No one but Darzi gives a shit about Samjan royalty. They feign an attack on the Shazada's ships, saying they want to join with the pirates in order to get to the island and join up with us.

>>35470735
But our party wouldn't be on these ships because these ships never made it to the village, they were attacked on their way there. It's truly inconceivable that they'd someone magically appeared on vessels that had yet to reach their location, anon.

relay info to our party and steal the kegs if we cando it undetected, though the kegs would alert them to a foreign presence.

>>35470755
I want to find out what the fuck happened while we were gone.
Also checking out the tower seems like a good idea.

>>35470755
>Your stuff
We need our shit to do anything
And also why go for the engineering level when we can take out their communication tower? I doubt they are beaming power to the ship, but they may well be controlling the ship from the island, why else would the captain be here? Maybe that's the artifact?

What can I say? It was close, and I felt lazy. I paid the price for such foolishness.

>>35470867
I've ordered Papa Johns pizza twice.
Both times they've had hair on them.

Try the chicken pizza next time, if you ever find yourself having papa's again, some friends of mine that disliked PJ's usually found that they enjoyed it.

You make your way back to the elevator doors, slipping out as quickly as you can. Once you're outside the doorway, you allow yourself a moment to panic. Had the fleet arrived early, met the enemy in battle, and lost spectacularly? You find that unlikely. They weren't supposed to arrive for at least another few hours, tomorrow morning if you recall correctly and it's only evening at the moment. Still, you're not sure how much of the Shah's Navy had been mustered to face the pirate menace. You can't imagine the entire navy has been defeated by a not-so-ragtag bunch of pirates, but the thought is worrying.

You quickly shoot through the walls and towards the opposite end of the island, towards the location of your buried belongings. You seem to cross the distance in record time, flying through the mountain rather than over or around it. A risky maneuver, considering you're approaching the time limit Ghada told you about. Hopefully it pays off.

As soon as you breach the other side of the mountain you find yourself within sight of the beach. However, from this distance you can't get a good idea of what's on the beach. It's simply too dark. You descend rapidly, and then level out. You're rocketing through trees and shrubs rather than open sky. It seems to take only a few moments for you to burst out of the foliage to find a... somewhat confusing sight in front of you.

(1/2)

Your cloak lies open on the beach, your belongings strewn about. There are several holes around the area where you buried your belongings, and of course one where they actually where buried. How they managed to identify the general area of your belongings so precisely on a beach this large is something of a mystery, though you assume Nature magic is responsible. Either that, or they entered a meditative trance and noticed the bright, glowing ball of vys.

The actual perpetrators of the attempted looting are gone, or at the very least nowhere to be seen. Nor are any items missing. Everything is accounted for, if not in its original place. You're left wondering what the hell happened to them.

>gather your stuff with manipulate and fly to the top of the tower without actually entering it, hopefully you'll have enough peace there to dress up and shit
This might not be a good idea if we can't get off the tower without entering it though, I'd like some clarification on this subject, Soma.

>>35471204
Well that's a fucking trap if ever I've seen one. Go under the water and use the tide to bring our items into the sea. See if it stirs them up.

>>35471227
The tower doesn't appear to have an entrance or exit on the roof. Basically, the only way up or down would be to fly or jump, or craft some sort of staircase.
