We're running out of space. Do they have any suggestions how to store more companions on our spiderbutt? Comfy silken carrying bags made by Elle, perhaps?

>>36506112
>>Other (?)
Hey guys. Remember how lann said she thought we would have eaten bugs, and we said the only ones big enough to hunt talk? Well, long story short, let's make the adventurers do it for us.
>put out quest for 10 pound sack of grasshoppers at adventurer's guild
it will be a good newbie quest for them.

First, we steal the Harpy, then, we sneak into the little Elf's room and tie her up before we abscond with her.

>>36506274
>>36506112
Master kidnapper!

>>36506194
>We're running out of space on our spiderbutt

I think we're okay for now. We just need to put a little thought into space management.

Jin can sleep quite happily standing on a perch. She can take the 'horn' in the middle of our skullbutt.

Shez and Nin can each take an eye.

And Lann can sit on our thorax between the skyllbutt and our Elf torso.

But if we collects any more.........

>>36506194
>>36506112

Supporting putting a vote to how to deal with our limited cargo space before next evolution hopefully fixes that. All suggestions welcomed (though we will regret that).

>>36506274
Isn't Jin already with us? How can we steal her from ourselves.

>>36506286

I swear, one of these days Lyra is going to walk into some Extra-Magical Kingdom's seat of power, declare she is going to steal -MacGuffin of Incredible Value and or Power- and have everyone be completely and honestly surprised when it winds up missing.

>>36506302

Easy. We set her down in her house for about a half minute, and then we steal her and get back on the road.

>>36506268
>sneak into the little Elf's room
>Kidnap Lann while she is still sleeping

Thirding. Will probably go horribly wrong, but damn, it'll be funny!

>Shez and Nin can each take an eye.
Jin has already claimed an eye, she'll fight you on that.

>>36506320
Lyra is just an innocent, honest girl. Nobody would really expect her to steal anything, right?

Looks like we're visiting Jin's family!
Writing!


>>36506300
Is this how a civil war starts?

>>36506360
>Is this how a civil war starts?

>>36506299

> I think Nin should be able to create a cocoon for herself to sleep in, something we can fit on our back or strap across our chest. We sell it to her as an "armored personnel carrier for the queen's herald" rather than as a baby backpack.

> Jin keeps her eye socket
> Shezka keeps her eye socket
> Lann gets to ride front and center and is probably comfortable enough just bringing along camping gear. She is an adventurer, after all.

Beyond that we simply pray that our numbers don't multiply before we hit a next tier evolution. God of protection bro will probably understand that our circle is growing, up our size a little and give us some extra seating capacity.

>>36506347
>Jin has already claimed an eye, she'll fight you on that.

It is our job as Quee- A Giant Spider to settle disputes between our subjec- friends.

If Jin does not want to give up her territory, we must offer suitable concessions to make her accept.

I suspect a deal involving a suitable level of hugging, head pats and entertaining her with fire may do the job.

>nobody wanted to get the adventurers to get us some grasshoppers

Damn.

>>36506501

Was the plan going to be to eat them in front of Lann? I'm not quite understanding what our angle would be on that.

>>36506539
Our angle is we get some tasty grasshoppers to try, and we realize the true convenience of the adventuring board for one stop shopping.

And we might share them with jin. She's the only other one who might like 'em.

>>36506539
It might have been grasshoppers in order to train. Like a karate kid montage kind of training.

>>36506566
>like karate kid montage training
It's almost exactly like that, in fact. We trick some douchebag into doing our menial chores, and claim it's to give them experience.

>>36506588
But as a giant spider, what kinda chores do we even have?

>>36506588
The sad thing is that almost anything you do in this universe WILL give them experience.

I wonder how high our [Subdue Monster] skill is with our headpats?

>>36506609
I hate to harp on with this point, but-
collecting tiny grasshoppers is a chore we could do that would take a long, long while.
Get someone else to do it.

>>36506642
But why do we need grasshoppers?

>>36506663
Because they might be tasty, anon.
We're a giant spider, we've not gotten many chances to taste bugs, they might be really good. Like potato chips.

>>36506663
Good question. I just want to go in, abscond with Lann and go on an ADVENTUREor a date.!

>>36506692
Unless these grasshoppers are at least as big as a wolf, I doubt they'd provide any sustenance for Lyra.

>>36506759
well, I did suggest the quest be for a "10 pound bag".
The original idea was a 50 pound bag, but then I realized I have no idea how much space 50 pounds of grasshoppers would take up.

>>36506793

Going by average grasshopper weight (0.54 grams), we would need 40,740 to make a 10 pound bundle...

>>36506834
Yes.
There's a reason I want to get some mook to do it for us.

If it was modern day, I'd just suggest going to a specialty shop or petstore. Buy two scoops of that shit.

>>36506834
How about we make Quests to do less... Stupid things... Like clean windows! Cut wood for firewood! Sweep the streets! Take care of flowers and plants!

>>36506861
Those don't even get us snacks!

>>36506430
Will protection bro also install cupholders? Jin gots to get her drank on

>>36506880
Jin isn't allowed food or drink on the shell.
She so messy.

>>36506430
Oh my god.
The backpack idea is as brilliant as it is adorable! Do it!

Guys.
Guys.
We might just have to have some of our party members walk sometimes.

>>36506915
That's crazy talk. You're crazy.

>>36506915
Shezka actually walks a lot but that dosnt mean her seat shouldn't be reserved.

It's a little early for adventurers, isn't it?

You distinctly remember the sun being higher when Lann woke you up last time. Or maybe that's just when people are drinking?

You change course as you move, your legs clattering away as they carry you towards Jin's house. Cabin. If Lann's not awake, then you can give her some time to get up while you check in with Lia. If Lann is awake, then she's probably working, and maybe a bit more time will see her back to town.

Kidnapping her while she sleeps has it's own appeal, of course. But you'd have to get someone to let you into her room, and the guards would probably bother you enough to wake her. It would take a bit of planning, and some co-operation across the board. Maybe next time.

Lia is outside as you roll up, sunning herself on a flat, wide rock in front of the cabin- Oh. Yeah, you didn't put it back into the ground last time, did you?

Well, as long as people are enjoying it.

The harpy squints lazily with one eye as you approach, and you wave.
"Good morning, yes?"
She watches you carefully before responding.

"Are you causing trouble in town, Lyra?"
"What? No. Of course not. Never."
"Your mother was a terrible liar too, yes."

You place a delicate hand to your chest, closing your eyes and lowering your head.
"I am hurt, yes? Devastated. That you would slander me so carelessly, that y-"
"So what is it?"
"Pardon?"
"What are you trying to do, yes?"

Nin and Jin both lean out from behind you. Dammit.
"Lyra wanted to kidnap Lann, yes? But the guards said no."
"The village belongs to the harpies, and the harpies belong to the forest- So, really, it's not kidnapping at all. The queen just needs her subjects-"
"I am not the queen, yes?"
"Yet."

>>36506915

NON-Giant Spider transportation for Lyra's friends?

A-are you high, anon? It's okay, we understand that sometimes outside influences make you dumb.

>>36507004
Lia cranes her neck to see.
"Who is this little one, then? Are you in the business of smuggling moths now?"
You pick the fluffy insect up with one hand, gesturing with the othr as you conduct introductions.
"Lia, Nin. Nin, this is Lia, Jin's mother, yes."

Nin wriggles her way up in your grasp, and somehow manages a bow. Which is impressive in it's own right, let alone for the level of dedication she has to her act.
"It is wonderful to meet you. And, I must say- You have impeccable taste in names."
Lia starts laughing, rolling onto her back as she cackles.

"It is nice to meet you too, yes. And I am certain that Lyra is wholly deserving of your attentions."
"Of course!"

You will never find pity, anywhere, ever again.
You've learned to accept that now.

>This is wonderful, just perfect. Which is why you're going to head to the guild and see if Lann is up.

On the topic of plotting, how did our plot to cover the village in webs plot out?

Also, I am tempted a little by the rock.

>>36507020

REMOVE ROCK.

NO AMAZING ROCK FOR MOTH ENABLERS.

>>36507020
>>This is wonderful, just perfect. Which is why you're going to head to the guild and see if Lann is up.
>>Embarrassment goes both ways. Plot Nin's downfall.
I want to see the Lyra and Nin stuff escalate over the course of years. It should be fun.

>>36507004
>"I am hurt, yes? Devastated. That you would slander me so carelessly, that y-"
Nin is rubbing off on Lyra.

>>36507020
>>This is wonderful, just perfect. Which is why you're going to head to the guild and see if Lann is up.
Nope cheesing it time

>>36507020
>Embarrassment goes both ways. Plot Nin's downfall.

It involves squeezing and squeaking.

>>36507020
>Embarrassment goes both ways. Plot Nin's downfall
we haven't lost yet. KEEP FIGHTING LYRA, FOR THE EMPEROR!

>>36507020
>>This is wonderful, just perfect. Which is why you're going to head to the guild and see if Lann is up.

And if she isn't up or there we can see if someone whats to spar.

>>36507020
>>Embarrassment goes both ways. Plot Nin's downfall.
She wants to serve the Queen and be our herald? Fine. What jobs can we order her to do?

How long will she keep up the act and obey us as a Queen? What will it take to make her give up?

"You do not want to gather any more grasshoppers, yes? But if a Queen wants grasshoppers, a Queen gets grasshoppers. Would you defy a Queen?

Or course.... If I were not a Queen, just a normal Giant Spider, you would not be required to obey my every order, yes. You could stop collecting the grasshoppers."

>>36507177
We might be ably to find someone bad-ass / over confident / dumb enough to try.

Heading to the guild, planning vengeance on itty bitty moth.
Very mature.

>>36507238
what did you expect, we're not even 2 months old

>>36507238

MATURITY CAN WAIT TILL WE ARE DEAD.

>>36507238
Hey, a little bit of plotting never hurt anyone.
And if we actually GET vengeance, then I will start demanding our plots to cover the town come to fruition.

>>36507238
Maturity is to classes not monsters.

>>36507106
An emperor is a "king of kings". Are you implying that there is someone who reigns over our future queen and her royal spiderbutt?

>>36507181
One, that's a bit mean, getting a tiny moth to gather several thousand crickets. Two, that'll encourage her to escalate (and plus she's probably pretty good at delegating duties a la Tom Sawyer).

>>36507238

One could argue that being an adventurer for anything other than the most mercenary of reasons is immature.

But fuck that guy.

>>36507181
You underestimate her ability to delegate. She'll be ordering around the village kids using Lyra's authority as Queen. Thus making Lyra a Queen in fact when people start paying taxes in the form of grasshoppers.

>>36507292
>>36507282
All she'd have to say is 'Lyra wants grasshoppers' and bang.
Jin and Sheszka would be all over it.

>>36507292
Grasshopper-based economy falls when a plague of frogs devastates the national reserve bank. Sarah Niallasdottir, minister of magic, could not be reached for comment.

>>36507181

I don't care if it fails, I like where this plan is going. It's come full circle to something brilliant.

>>36507292
So will her subjects in the future be allowed to defer a portion of their taxes if they provide tribute in the form of crickets?

Also, is Moth RPG Anon here? I'd like to hear more about your players turning water into wine.

>>36507325
The funny thing is, lyra probably does actually want grasshoppers.

The real question is: Salted and fried, dried and used as flour, or live and drained?

>>36507341

Giant and a Monster Girl.

Lyra's lust for distributing headpats is insatiable.

>>36507341

Candied for Nin. Curried for Jin. Cold chilled in sweet cream for Shezka. Lyra lacks patience and is a bigger girl than the rest, so she'd probably just end up hunting a cricket king or some other mega-insect.

>>36507374
nin's a vegetarian, she doesn't get shit.

>>36507365
Just imagine the chirruping and pleased buzzing sounds as Lyra carefully strokes her antennae and finds those sensitive parts between her chitinous plates...

>>36507395
>>36507365
The joke loses quality with each additional girl we acquire.
Therefore, we have to kick the headpat habit.

>>36507365

>Queen Lyra has initiated another war of Conquest for New Territory.

>All Conquered territories are reported to be unusually happy, the reason, Headpats.

>>36507408

How about you examine this nice, deep, dark pit I dug in the ground for you?

Pay no attention to the shovel I am lining up with the back of your skull.

>>36507408
Bah, we'll never kick the habit. We'll just carefully ration it.

the addiction is strong.

What about mooks? We could always raid Shezka's old pack out of boredom, I think all of the big game has fled our area now.

>>36507408

All the reactionary folks aside, I think you've got a point. It's one thing to have an inside joke, another to beat it into the ground. There's plenty of perfectly healthy horses to beat without resorting to the one on its last leg. Right now, Queen Lyra takes the lead to my funny bone. Pretty soon, it will be something else.

>>36507479
I don't want to go raid other peoples out of boredom.

>>36507500
>something else
Cricket based economies.
The little-known secret that you can bribe lyra with crickets, as money never works.

>>36507461

Saying that we need to kick the headpats is like saying we, as anons, need to kick the spiderbutt addiction.

It won't happen, and even suggesting such a thing would be like having every chem-zombie in the world coming down upon you in a wave of frothing zealous madmen with various forms of stained clothing and needles sticking out of them.

>>36507517

I'd love to see the whole "Nin is probably a better leader than we are due to her being disturbingly good at manipulation and delegation".

> "There is a power behind the throne, you see. A tiny, furry power with a malevolent... Oh my god! She's onto us! Run!"
> "Ain't nobody gonna outrun the Mothfia, bub."

>>36507588
It turns out that people outrun the mothfia constantly, as they wield tiny weapons and get tired of flying quickly.
But they are just adorable in their little suits.

>>36507606
They don't really need to outrun them. Just out-briskly-walk. The problem is that they turn up unexpectedly, like a bad quarter that has hallucinatory powders coming out of their wings.

At least they look adorable in their suits.

>>36507588
Lyra is a wartime leader, Nin is a peacetime one... Mothfia aside.

>>36507668

The Advantage of being a Moth... They never see it coming...

Oh wait, I know of a way to get some petty revenge on Nin: tell Elle that Moths can produce a sort of silk.

>>36507606
>>36507660
I'd imagine that a few people get into debt then hold back payments till they come banging on the door and demand hugs before handing over the cash.

>captcha: Dcastoff 68,000,000

>>36507819

And then we never saw Nin again...

>>36507819

That would end with us brutally murdering our sister.

So let's not.

>>36507819
this is the perfect revenge.
>>36507871
>>36507899
oh come on you guys, it's not that bad. What could possibly go wrong?

You laugh.

You tell yourself it sounds honest, but you're pretty sure you can't even fool yourself.

"HA HA HA! Yes, anyway- I thought we could drop by, yes? Let you know where we'd be."
Lia smiles at you.

"Lyra. I worry, yes? But not like that. I know you would throw yourself in front of anything that would hurt my daughter. Thank you."
You blush, one leg drawing little circles in the dirt.
"That's- Yes. You're welcome. Goodbye, yes?"
"Have fun, little ones."

You turn and speed towards the guild. Gah, your cheeks are burning. You didn't need that after Nin's teasing.

It does feel good, though. Like a warm little ball in your chest. You let yourself smile a bit as you move.

But Nin!

This is getting out of hand. You need to do something. Anything! Maybe just assigning her jobs? Something ridiculous, or time consuming. You have been wondering how bugs would taste. You don't think Mom has eaten any. Maybe you can ask her later.

You could get Nin to gather up a pile of bugs for you to try! Or would she just pass it off to Sheszka and Jin? Probably. Sheszka would be easy to set to work. And Nin seems pretty much immune to teasing.

>>36507916

Pretty sure it says explicitly on her character sheet NOT to mention that to our crazy, web slinging sister for fear that she will capture our new found comrade in arms. If not that, she might descend on the moths in our absence, becoming a dark and terrible (also terribly comfy) queen.

>>36507819
>>36507871
Either that, or she disappears for a week, then comes back saying she has a Moth boyfriend and asks where eggs come from. Mom would go into a panic, then go on a single person warmarch to the moth village.

>>36507954
Maybe you could interrupt a speech? Just as she starts, start rubbing her antennae- You could see her trying to keep going as she squeaks between words.

Dammit, she'd probably enjoy it.

You push open the double doors of the guild, stepping into the main room- There's the usual smell of fresh wood and a hint of alcohol. And against your expectations, there's a few people using the tables, though they seem to be poring over paper rather than drinking. Which is probably good, given the time of day.

You head for the bartender, getting a wave as you pull up.

"Good day, yes? Is Lann in this morning?"
"Not a bad day at all. I think your friend left early- A bit of hunting or something."

Huh. New plan, then?

>>36507979

>Find out where she went.

>Let loose the hounds! Track Lann down in the woods. Maybe you can help?

Find Lann. Maybe ambush and abduct her. Maybe help her with what she's doing. Whatever is funnier at the time.

>>36507979
>>Let loose the hounds! Track Lann down in the woods. Maybe you can help?
Let Shezska hunt her down and then we can

No one escapes the grasp of the Spider Queen.

>>36507979
>>Help Nin train a bit as you wait? There's all sort of equipment downstairs, and you might even find someone who wouldn't smear her across the ground in a fight.

I know it's pissing in the wind but I think this would be fun.

What if we track Lann, make her prey disappear in front of her, and when she moves in to investigate we abduct her from a tree or something?

>>36507979
>>Just relax. Get a bit of food, sit and wait in the guild. Chat a bit with people. If a higher up is here, maybe there's news from one of the cities?

So, go directly to releasing the hounds then? We are the ADHD Spider.

>>36508158
I'm sure it would take a few minutes.

>>36507979
>Find out where she went. Lay an ambush in the woods! You're technically not abducting anyone in the village.
>Let loose the hounds! Track Lann down in the woods. Maybe you can help?
We stalled long enough, I want to get to the forest tour and showing Lan our nest.
We can train and relax any other day.

>>36507979

Hey, we could do a job ourselves... then grab Lann on our way back...

>>36507979
>>Help Nin train a bit as you wait? There's all sort of equipment downstairs, and you might even find someone who wouldn't smear her across the ground in a fight.

Tired moths can't talk as much, right?

>>36508244
What for though?
No need for the cash and they aren't really challenging for us.

It looks like we're just tracking down Lann and carrying her off.
With some help!

I'd like 2d100 for tracking, if you don't mind,

Rolled 23, 46 = 69 (2d100)

Holy crap that was a lot of dice.

>>36508348
I imagine we still find her, our modifiers for Hunting are really high.

>>36508345
I would probably say that, with Lann's skills, we did find her, but she noticed us looking for her. Looks like no catching her in a net.

>>36508376
Depends on how good her spotting is, our sneaking ability is no bad, so we might manage a flat success.

>>36508400
It mostly depends on how stealth Shesz and Jin are, and Shesz tends to get excitable when on the hunt.

>>36508400
>Stealth
>Giant flaming earth shaking spider.

I have my doubts but I will probably enjoy what is coming.

>>36508556
We are neither flaming nor earth-shaking.
And we got stealth 10. Its our second strongest skill after spear-fighting.
Thats just the worst thing about giant spider, 3 dimensional sneaking, no matter how large.

Seems the hunter may become the hunted...

>>36508556
If we sprout a couple of arrows, I'm going to laugh.

>>36508372

Does Shezka or Jin get their own tracking roll, or are we rolling for them?

>>36508774
The first one was most likely Sheszkas tracking roll.

>>36508774
Those are their rolls: they're better at tracking than we are, I believe.

>>36508802
> Go up and snare her in a web!

>>36508816
Er, up in the canopy, I mean.

And I'm kind of hoping that Lann catches us in the act: would be nice to be knocked down a peg every once in a while (even if Mom and Nin do it frequently).

Again, sans errors.

There's... probably a reasonable, easy and fast way to deal with this.

But you haven't got anything remotely resembling patience, and that sounds boring anyway. Instead: Elf hunting.

"Ah. Do you know which way she went, then?"
The barman shrugs.
"Away from the river, and not towards the ruins would be my best guess. Sorry."
"Sorry. I'll check in at the gates, yes."

He nods, you nod, and you're back on the street in moments.
You're not actually going to check the gates. That would take time, precious time, and result in more explanations about not kidnapping people.

Instead, you'll use your highly trained crack team of monsters.
"Sheszka, Jin."

One head leans aound your shell, and another has ears that perk immediately as you speak.
"Can you find Lann for me? And try not to let her now you're there, yes?"
Both nod, and shoot towards the woods, Jin keeping her flight in check as she follows Sheszka, the wolf's nose leading them both forwards.

You keep close behind them, trees and plants flying by as they pick up speed.

You're getting closer to the lake when your packmate draws up sharply, slamming on the breaks and skidding a bit through the dirt. You check your speed and duck behind a tree, peering forwards as Sheszka flattens herself behind a bush.

>>36508802
Is the post missing a bit?
Shouldn't we know where and in what siutation she is before we can decide on how to grab her?

>>36508831
Lann is a ways ahead, arrow nocked and ready, watching one of your quadruple-eyed elk/deer things. She lets out a breath, and an arrow follows a split second after, whispering though the air and disappearing into the monster's neck with a meaty thunk. You haul yourself into the tree as she makes her way to the body-

Then she stops and spins, one hand grasping at her quiver as she glances around. She licks her lips, swallows, and calls out.
"Hello? Is anyone there?"

You hold your breath, and she pulls another arrow free as the forest falls quiet around her.

>Stay still. Maybe she'll walk underneath your tree?
>Head through the branches, as quietly as possible. Get the drop on her.
>Call out. When she gets close and relaxed, you can strike.
>Other (?)

>>36508802
>Other
clime a tree and wait above the path they're going to take, when Lann walks under you shoot down and scoop her up into the trees, bonus points if you can do it without alerting anyone else. Use webbing when needed.

>>36508855
>>Stay still. Maybe she'll walk underneath your tree?
Make a decoy with some earth control

>>36508855
>Stay still. Maybe she'll walk underneath your tree?
>Use earth control to lure her beneath you by making noises around

>>36508855
>>Stay still. Maybe she'll walk underneath your tree?

This >>36508872 sounds like a good plan.

>>36508855
>Stay still. Maybe she'll walk underneath your tree?
but if she starts to walk away
>Head through the branches, as quietly as possible. Get the drop on her.

>>36508855
I am crossed between
>Stay still. Maybe she'll walk underneath your tree?
and
>Call out. When she gets close and relaxed

mostly because I don't want to get shot.

>>36508855
>Stay still. Maybe she'll walk underneath your tree?

Attacks from above are the best for a spider. Plus, even if she does look up and spot you, that will be startling and possibly give a good enough reaction by itself.

>>36508855
>>Stay still. Maybe she'll walk underneath your tree?
>>Slowly lower a silk trap, and catch her in it when she walks over it!
This surely cannot go wrong!

>>36508855
>Head through the branches, as quietly as possible. Get the drop on her.
drop on her and molest her ear

>>36508855
What ever is chosen, make sure WE are the one to receive an arrow if this goes bad on us, we have the heaviest armor.

>>36508872
>>36508882
>>36508883
I don't think we can earth control when we're not touching the earth.

And plus we'd deserve it.

>>36508855
>>Call out. When she gets close and relaxed, you can strike.

>>36508855
>Stay still. Maybe she'll walk underneath your tree?

Could Nin use sleeping powder on Lann?

>>36508855
>Stay still. Maybe she'll walk underneath your tree?
The wisperings in the back of Lyra's mind of Spider Mom calling her a huge brat are likely growing louder right now.

>>36508903

>>36508923
>I don't think we can earth control when we're not touching the earth.
well probably not our blessing powers but earth magic would still probably be do able

>>36508855
>Stay still. Maybe she'll walk underneath your tree?
If she moves away
>Head through the branches, as quietly as possible. Get the drop on her.
>prepare a net to grab her with, don't want any arrow in us

>>36508950
I specifically said earth manipulation because she might be able to feel the mana moving.
She is not a mage herself, but she is a half-elf.

>>36508928
>Could Nin use sleeping powder on Lann?
Probably, but that would be taking the joke too far I think.

>>36508978

calming powder then? make her chill about being taken...

It's not for staying quiet or undetected- You're not moving.
It's to see if Lann heads towards the trees.

Unfortunately, your friend is an adventurer, and not a horror movie victim.

>>36509056
>>36509062
>>36509065
in hindsight, being a giant red glowing spider isn't probably being the easiest thing to hide... god damn dice.

The sensible solution is obviously to have one of our companions call her so that she walks under the tree we are hiding in.

hey speaking of earth powers... could we use them to burrow under the ground and use our earth pulse to track Lann and jump out of the ground and grab her that way... while dragging here back into the earth for dramatic effect.

One thing we can be thankful for is that we are not getting these rolls in dangerous combat.

>>36509122
I bet she's going to walk right under us, then someone's going to giggle, and she'll look up to see the whole party. "Ummm... Hello, Yes? I've come to kidnap you."

>>36509211
She'd probably still freak out because there's a giant spider staring down at her.

Lann matches your stillness, second for second. She's frozen where she stands, string taut, unmoving.

A tense minute runs by in silence, and she lets out a breath as the forest starts to come alive around her again. You watch as she glances in the direction of your hiding place, but she shakes her head, making for her prey.

She's efficient. It barely takes five minutes work, and she has the deer tied in such a way that she can move it, packing up her gear and her catch, but keeping the bow strung and at hand.

This isn't working at all.

She stands, and after another look in your direction, picks a different way out towards town, heading away from you and making to loop back. Probably.

You grimace.
Yes, she's an adventurer, and not a ditzy blonde in the latest splatter movie.
Yes, she has common sense, and yes, it's probably necessary in her job to stay alive.

But it's just a little disappointing.

How are you supposed to ambush her now? It just seems a little awkward.

>Follow her. More quietly this time.
>Give up. Call out to her.

>>36509232
When she freaks out, that's when we use a silk lasso.

Looks like we're surrendering.

>>36509474

>>36509474
Stupid survival instincts..

>>36509474
Next time let's lie in wait underground, trapdoor style.

She may not have been caught, but imagine her fridge horror when she realizes she was nearly ambushed by a spider the size of a VW Bug.

>>36509664
Yeah, we got close.
We just didn't want to commit because she was too cautious to jump her without someone getting hurt.

>>36509474
So there are 5 moths and they have all evolved once to the generic moth evolution, they all decided hey are ready for grander things and are preparing to leave their little moth village and head to adventure. But first they decided they needed money and lots of it. They have already explored the nearby human village which was a mining town that many adventures stopped by on the way to the city. So it became clear to make money sell to the adventures, what sells? Booze. The moth who had the idea to eat poison berries to make poison powder had the idea to make booze powder. This resulted in 2 sessions of drunken Moths attempting to not get lost in a bunch of mine shafts as they conducted “Research”. Eventually they devised two kinds of Powder. One speeds up fermentation, and one turns any liquid it is poured into, into cheap liquor. They immediately start mass producing both, one Moth going to the village to learn how to make barrels from a carpenter, he, however decided to not finish all the lessons and that's were things started to go wrong.

These 5 Moths are well known in their little village and are constantly expected to cause trouble. If they are not currently causing trouble they are assumed to be plotting it, so they could not produce the powder in the moth village.

>>36509865
The solution was to produce and hide it deep in the natural cave systems. They had become familiar with that the mine shafts where based around. The villager had long ago realized the Moths aren't particularly threatening, especially the group of overly excitable and drunk ones.

They spent 3 months producing and storing powder. So that's 3 months of not causing trouble in the village, I rolled every months it see if the village elder became suspicious and eventually he did. He goes to the human village, and they tell him where to find our little group. He however was not familiar with the tunnels, and called out to them several times so they knew he was coming. And for some reason they panicked. They decided they needed to hide the barrels, all of them. One of them had the genius idea, “Lets hide them in the underground lake.” So the moths are now throwing barrels, full of powder that turns liquids into alcohol, into a lake, the barrels being at best, poorly constructed.

I had the guy that made the barrels roll 5 d100 and took the average as how the barrels did.
63, 54, 20 1, 2 28 average. So the barrels did nothing at all. Funnily enough underground lakes tend to be connected to other water sources. Like Rivers.

The Human villagers knew something was up when the fish started acting funny.
They got worried when all the village children started coming home drunk for no reason.
They started Panicking when all the fish started dieing.

>>36509889
>for some reason they panicked. They decided they needed to hide the barrels

I'm imagining one of them shouting, "It's a raid, flush the stash!" As they throw the barrels into the water.

>>36509889
I wish I had the time to find that video where they plumed this guys house with beer...

You sigh dramatically, and drop back down to the ground.

No need to push any further. Someone is going to end up full of arrows, and you'd rather it not be you.

You cup your hands over your mouth.
"Lann! Hello!"

The half-elf rises onto her toes, looking over the vegetation in your direction.
"Lyra?"
"Hello!"

You march over to her, trampling bushes and anything else in your way. Sheszka picks herself up and follows you, and Jin dances through the foliage to land on your shell.
"How are you doing, yes?"
"Uh- I'm fine. What're you doing out here- I mean, aside from living. You don't live over here do you?"

You raise an eyebrow.
"What? No, not at all. I promised you a visit, yes? So I was coming to get you."
"Huh. Well, I haven't got anything to do after this, so that sounds pretty good."
"Wonderful, yes! Do you want me to carry that?"

She glances at her catch, then nods.
"Sure, that would make it a lot faster. What are you doing out in this part of the woods, anyway?"
"I am a bit impatient, yes? So I came to kidnap you."
"That was you in the brush? Bloody- Don't sneak up on someone armed, you- wait-"

You pick up the body, and stand idly as her brain processes what you just said.
"Wait, wait. What?"
"What?"
"Don't you- You just said you were going to kidnap me!"
"Oh, yes."
"Wha- That's not an answer!"
"What kind of answer are you looking for, then?"
"Why are you trying to kidnap me?!"
"For fun, yes?"
"Fun?!"

>>36510068

Lann has apparently had minimal interaction with people teasing her, apparently. Her expression is priceless- Mouth half open, one eye squinting as her eyebrows knit together.
"Yes, fun. You are a terrible victim, by the way."
"I should hope so!"
"How am I supposed to abduct you if you won't even investigate strange noises in the dark woods?"
"You are not supposed to abduct me!"
"Now you're just being silly, yes?"

"You can't just- Agh!"
Nin giggles behind you.
Lann shakes her head.
"Is this just a thing? First Jin, and now me?"

You turn to look behind you at the same time she does. Your friend is preening herself behind your, running her fingers over feathers before looking up.
"Yes?"
You consider a moment.
"I do not think I can kidnap the willing, yes? The law implies some sort of resistance."
Lann rolls her eyes.

"Well, I want to see the forest, don't I? So you can't kidnap me, either."

>"Perfect." Smile. Throw her over your shoulder.
>"That sounds like a challenge, yes?"

It'll probably take a few weeks to type them all out.

You smile. A fixed, devious smile, curling its way through your lips, revealing fangs and dire intentions.
Lann freezes as she watches you grin at her, taking a half step back. You can see the confusion in her eyes.
"Lyra?"

You turn towards her, letting your joints clack loudly as you move.
"Lyra!"
"What? You said it yourself, yes? I can't kidnap you."

She watches you with another confused expression.
"Yeah, I said that-"
"Yes, yes. Rope or no rope?"
"Wha- Rope's better, I guess? I already tied it, didn't I?"

You tilt your head.
"I didn't take you for the kind that would enjoy that, but there is no telling, yes?"
"...Yes?"

Nin's giggling out of control. Lann, on the other hand, has no idea what is going on.

Which is why she doesn't react at all when the first loop of web is tossed around her, cinching her arms to her sides.

"What?"
"Well, you asked for it."
She opens her mouth to protest, and you spin her lightly, wrapping the silk haphazardly around her.
"Lyyyyyyyyyyyra!"

You cackle.
"Don't worry, yes? This isn't kidnapping!"
"LYRA!"

You throw the bound elf over one shoulder, and the deer-thing over the other.
"Sheszka, could you carry her bow? I am afraid her hands are tied, yes?"
"That's not a pun, that's literal! And it's not funny anyway!"
Well, you're laughing.

_________________________________________________________________

With the forest mostly avoiding you, the trip to town takes no time at all. Lann does have an impressive set of lungs, though.
"Ah. Is the deer for food, or a request?"

"I look ridiculous."
"You'd look less ridiculous if you didn't spend all your time yelling."
"Don't try to turn this around! You tied me up!"
"I asked first."

"AGH. It's just for food. Give it to the bartender, he'll throw it in cold-storage."
"No problem."

You head straight there.
"Wait a- Hey, Lyra, you can't bring me in there like this!"
"Of course I can?"
"No no no, absolutely not-"
"I do not think propping you against the wall outside would be any more dignified, yes?"
"Oh gods."

>"I didn't take you for the kind that would enjoy that, but there is no telling, yes?"
Oh my, Lann. I didn't know you had a lewd side.

We are a Giant Spider.

I think it might be a bit too much otherwise.

Simply walk in, hand over the deer thing, then leave. If the bar-tender asks, merely say we are a giant spider.

I god, my sides! Between this and my cough I'm literally dying over here.

Once we leave the village she's fair game thought

Am I the only one who will find Mom and Dad's reaction to us carrying a bound half-elf into the tree?

I assume that Mom would just laugh, while Dad may look slightly concerned/uncomfortable

>>36510913
>That's enough, you've had your fun.
ha ha you have to learn to take a joke Lann

>>36511009
hey, I voted with you guy.
I will now begin feeling bad about this pre-emptively.

>>36511028
It would remind them of their first date.

>>36510927
I'll change my vote to
>Okay, maybe you can let her out. For now.

we'll compromise, we walk up to the gate guards with Lann tied up just to give the guards shit then let her go before we get into town

>>36511028

Dad will start reminiscing about their first date

>>36510913

Lann does have a reputation to uphold. There's having fun with friends, and actually destroying a person's professional reputation. This would be getting closer to the latter than I'm comfortable with.

This is a little close, and I'll admit that the way I worded the choices is messing it around a bit.
My apologies.

Quote this with a number, and nothing else, 5 minutes.

1 Tied up.
2 Let her out.

can we at least keep her tied up long enough to get to the gate and let the guards know we didn't kidnap her

Didn't really see the whole, "truss her up like lunch" thing coming. Seems like it is really embarrassing, not to mention we have no way of easily removing our own silk from her. Good thing she has short hair, at least, but I think we crossed a line.

I voted 2, but I still think we should at least carry her into town.
without the webs. Sorry about that. Spider thing. The rest of this is normal.

A bunch of moths up to secretive dealings, dumping their bootleg liquor when a raid happens? They really are the Mothfia.

You were smart enough to use the non-sticky kind. It's just a matter of cutting her free.

Let her out wins!

Booooring

>>36511263
We'll tie her up again when we leave town.

>>36511219
Dammit, can’t even go to the bathroom without missing random ass revotes.

>>36511293
hey, it wouldn't be right if we carried her through town tied up in a NOT kidnapping.

>>36511355
She consented by virtue of not being a giant spider.

>>36511028
Mom would not understand the connotations and thinks it's harmless: she is surprisingly pure.
Meanwhile Dad would blush. Elves are quick to recognize lewdness.

>>36511263

We should probably let her keep the silk by way of compensation.

>>36511626
Can't really do much with the few strands of torn silk.
We can give her self-made silk blanket later.

>>36511626
Ask Elle to make her silk unmentionables. Elle would jump at the chance: Dad won't let her make him panties and Shesz would destroy them in a day.

You let out another exasperated breath.
Silly morals. Getting in the way of playful kidnappings.

You hoist Lann easily back to the ground, holding her with one hand to keep her balanced. You extend one finger, catching the top of the rope and pull down, letting your sharp chitin do all the work.

You slice cleanly through silk, dropping loops to the ground around the archer till your finger reaches the floor, leaving her free.

"Huh... You just use your fingers for that?"
You hold out a hand, palm up.
"They are very sharp, yes? I have to be careful, all the time."

She blinks.
"You pet them, though? Don't you? Are they just that tough, or what?"
"I am very careful. I don't want to hurt the people I care about, yes?"

Lann clenches a hand, watching her bones and veins shift and she clutches, releases.
She nods.

"Okay. I- Okay. Gimme a minute to turn this in, and we'll get going."
"Alright."

You follow the half-elf into the guild, stepping to the side of the door as you enter, and she marches over to the bartender with the deer behind her.

She waves, and drops into conversation as you look around. The people at the table have gone. The building is quiet again, empty. Though you're sure it'll be full and rowdy come sundown.

Adventurers that don't know to be somewhere safe after dark probably don't live too long. Or are very, very strong, maybe.
You wonder if there's any humans- or others, you guess- around like that. As strong as you are. Or even Mom.
Probably not.

Is that spider racism? It's kind of a fact, though. You're nowhere near as weak as a human, right?
Ugh, this is the dumbest thing you've thought about yet.

Lann finishes up and head towards you, and you take to the streets, walking to the gate.
And then, to the forest.
