“Like a log” she says, a satisfied smile on her face as Jal and Isla begin to stir “Not surprising since you managed to wear all three of us out.”

You struggle to think of a good response to that as Isla and Jal regain consciousness, and look sleepy, but happy to see where they are, and who they’re with as they wake up.

“What’re you doing standing over there?” asks Isla, holding one hand out to you. You chuckle and join your wives in the somewhat dishevelled bed, also someone broke one of the bedposts, you don’t recall how that happened.

The four of you lay on your bed, curled up together, warm blankets pulled over you as you talk about the wedding, and the night before, eventually the conversation drifts around to another topic, one that keeps coming up...

“So did yerself and Isla decide about kids last night then?” asks Jal, all innocent curiosity.

“Ah no” you say with just a hint of a blush “We had other things on our minds.”

“An on yer hands, an on yer lips, an on yer-” Says Jal before Sofia hushes her.

“Is this really the time to discuss this?” asks Isla, looking a little nervous.

“We are all together” says Sofia “in private.”

“Yeah” says Jal to Isla with a sly grin “Now’s the time, not planning on breakin’ yer promise are ya?”

“No” says Isla slowly “Of course not”

“Well then” says Jal, snuggling up close to you and resting her head on your shoulder, never taking her eyes of Isla “Now’s your chance.”

“Here it comes” murmurs Sofia, well that doesn’t sound ominous...

“Sireyi” Isla blurts out “I want your children, a-a-and, and I want you to have mine, ours at the same time.”

In the silence that follows, Islas face goes red and Sofia adds “Whilst the delivery could use a little work, Isla is correct, Sireyi we each” she points to herself, Isla and Jal “feel ready for another child, and” she continues with a wry smile “we don’t want to deny you the wonders of experiencing morning sickness yourself – so we’d like you to bear a child of all four of us, I believe you can do that with your powers.”

“I can” you say, as you think about this “but what if something happens, what if I get called away on a mission? What if the Lord of Life attacks?”

“Yer mam can step in fer ya” says Jal “Or yer other you, yer blue sis, besides” she indicates all three of your wives “Yer outvoted, we all decided on it.”

“Is this what you said about gathering allies?” you ask Jal, one eyebrow raised “Sounds like you wasted your time, you could have just asked me.”

She grins “Not the only thing I got ‘em ter agree ter, don’ worry, yer’ll find out.”

“Well?” asks Isla “What do you say Sireyi?”

Sireyi's mother is greater than her in power and has way more experience with the Lord of Life, Dark Sireyi has Deific Power and a large army, we have a host of angels that can do things, The Killing Frost only harmed us because we messed with it, we can no-sell any kind of attack on ourselves with a bit of Divine Energy, etc.

>>36664082
>This isn’t the time
It really really isn't. We have a nation to build and a Killing Frost to fight and who knows what else. Its just not the time for Sireyi to get pregnant, some other day, but not in the immediate future in my opinion.

>>36664180

We did spend deific power....

>>36664200
>court mages with sleep spells overwhelmed us dude.
We didn't have Titan's Endurance, which explicitly allows us to ignore magical attacks for Divine Energy.

>>36664217
No, we didn't. We specifically chose not to spend any.

>>36664203
>Prevents her being pregnant because...?
Because its a busy task she needs to attend to in person.
>We do, and it's nothing else.

Seriously now.

>>36664231
>Because its a busy task she needs to attend to in person.
Now explain why she can't be anywhere in person while pregnant.

When OP explicitly states nothing surprising is going to happen, then yeah.

Not gonna risk our babies on peoples cockyness, especially with a major demon out for them.

Syderis can deal with him, and has done so before. I doubt he can do much in our realm due to Sanctuary 5.

>>36664204
I'd be supporting the "At least wait until after the killing Frost" definition. So in a year or so.

>>36664327
It's a tie with an outlier for killing the killing frost first.

>>36664334
He hasn't done shit so far. There's probably a reason for that.

>>36664348
> for killing the killing frost first.
Which means waiting.

>He hasn't done shit so far. There's probably a reason for that.
That reason obviously can't be waiting for a good moment to strike, like you know, when the baby he wants to murder has actually come into being. He can't prevent us from getting pregnant, so obiously he needs to wait until we actually are pregnant with that baby before he can kill it.

I'm interpreting the vote for waiting until killing the killing frost as *not now*.

If that's not the intent, please let me know and we'll try a final destination vote.

>>36664348
>There's probably a reason for that.
...The reason obviously being because he needs to wait until that kid is actually in our womb?

>>36664390
that's what I interpreted it as but I'm be happy with a second chance to get a baby!

>>36664298
>I doubt he can do much in our realm due to Sanctuary 5.
No just kill lots of other people.

>>36664390
I don't see how that could possibly mean anything but "not now", seeing as how the Killing Frost is not dead now.

>>36664387
>Which means waiting.
Not everyone wants to wait the same period of time, some people want to wait until after the succubus kingdom is fully established. Killing the Killing Frost could be done in a few weeks.

>like you know, when the baby he wants to murder has actually come into being.
>The baby
It was three, Milerna and Viviken are two of them and he's has ample opportunity to strike.

Maybe the god of battle with a legion of war-angels that hates demons on the best of days isn't letting demonic assassins walk around on his plane.

>>36664404
>The kid
See above.

>>36664428
>Killing the Killing Frost could be done in a few weeks.
Which is still not now, which is all we voted on.

No, he doesn't have ample opportunity to strike currently. But with Sireyi pregnant he would have.

>>36664390
Hey Pally, are we going to kill the killing frost during the time skip?

>>36664428
>Not everyone wants to wait the same period of time
We are not voting on that, so it doesn't matter how long we wait, we will decide that later.

Ok, going to be a slight delay as I haven't finished timeskip update, might be 30-45 mins.

>>36664513
We're time skipping this thread?

I'm kinda surprised we didn't get the vote on Sofias and Islas pregnancy, they had both asked us for it.
Does that still come?

>>36664453
>No, he doesn't have ample opportunity to strike currently. But with Sireyi pregnant he would have.
Because we're in the Stronghold all the time, and we're definitely going to be there 24/7 while we're managing a succubus kingdom. It's not any *more* risk, it's just a risk in a different, equally terrible direction.

Even when pregnant, Sireyi is still way harder to harm than anyone else, doubly so now that we have Titan's Endurance.

>>36664513
Are we going to receive an opportunity to revote on this matter after we kill the Killing Frost?

We better kill him either before the timeskip or very soon into it, otherwise cancel the timeskip immediately.

>>36664513
I didn't know we were time skipping. By how long?

>>36664524
Yeah, the vote was kinda odd. I had expected to vote on who gets pregnant, not that they would put Sireyi on the spot like this.
Although I had expected that to come up during the night, so its a bit odd all around.

>>36664553
Three years. During which it has already been confirmed nothing major is going to happen and it's just us setting up the succubus kingdom.

>>36664549
>Sireyi is still way harder to harm than anyone else
But the baby might not be, which is the exact damn issue. Seriously, thats the damn problem. You people keep thinking only about how invincible Sireyi is, but never about how vulnerable others are.

>Because we're in the Stronghold all the time, and we're definitely going to be there 24/7 while we're managing a succubus kingdom.
No we won't? We will travel a whole lot while building a kingdom. So yes, she will be more vulnerable.

Can we redo the vote to just decide who gets pregnent?

>>36664566
It wasn't confirmed at all. Only that we don't act in that time. And realm finances are put on ice to finance the succubus realm.
Major shit could be happening all around us. The LoL isn't just going to sit this out.

>>36664604

No. Sireyi needs to experience it too.

>>36664604
As I said last times, I wanted Sireyi not to be pregnant now because Sofia and Isla wanted children, so I wanted Sireyi to be unburdened to protect them.
So I would hope we still get to decide that. Unless they didn't want to carry them from the start.

Ok, to clarify:

Yes, the vote was sprung on Sireyi by surprise, deliberately by her wives.

I was planning to timeskip 3 years, during which time the Killing Frost issue would be addressed, the succubi kingdom settled and a few things happen with NPCs.

However, if you would rather play through and not timeskip, I'm willing to do that too.

Would you prefer to keep playing from this point and not timeskip?

Y/N

>>36664566
So the killing frost won't attack during those three years. Does that change anything?

The question on everyones mind seems more to be
>Can we still impregnate Sireyis wives?

>>36664583
That was pretty obviously sarcastic, anon.

>You people keep thinking only about how invincible Sireyi is, but never about how vulnerable others are.
Because there's no way a child would be safer in our womb, with our two-digit natural DR and ability to no-sell any form of physical or magical attack. They'll be just as safe in the wombs of any of our wives, with their physical frailty and *being the very people you're complaining about us forgetting the vulnerability of*.

>No we won't? We will travel a whole lot while building a kingdom. So yes, she will be more vulnerable.
I was saying that Viviken and Milerna have been and will be vulnerable, even moreso in the future. He only needs to kill one.

>>36664614
I doubt OP would be a big enough douche to kill our kids in a timeskip. And he's not gunning for us, why do you think he considers us such a massive threat? He sent the Killing Frost out of spite for us escaping him. Even the Killing Frost is more fucking around with his eternal winter shtick than going for us in particular, he only attacked us when we started messing with that.

>>36664652
We won't be around to protect them.

>>36664666
I'd like to vote again on whether Sireyi or her wives should get pregnant after the Killing Frost is dead.

>>36664756
>We won't be around to protect them.
We are literally a telepathic message and a teleport away.

>>36664666
N
Fine with getting everyone pregnant after the KF issue is resolved.

>>36664756
>Because there's no way a child would be safer in our womb, with our two-digit natural DR and ability to no-sell any form of physical or magical attack
We have no idea how these things translate to our child, just because we can'T be hurt, doesn't mean the fragile fleshy thing in us won't be.
And our wives WILL be in our castle constantly sorrounded by protections.

The vote was intended to cover all the pregnancies, the option to change the terms was to allow you to pick and choose who was, and was not getting pregnant.

That's my fault for not being clear.

Given that right now, Sireyi is not getting pregnant but some players want Isla, Jal and Sofia to, I'll take a new vote.

Who is getting pregnant?

Isla?

Sofia?

Jal?

We can't hold out on them for three years. After which Milli will start her training and may not be there to see the birth of her new siblings.

>Y

Huh? Since when? I don't remember that ever having been said, she wants Sireyi to carry hers, but she never said she wants another one.

>>36664834
I'm not talking about Sireyi. I'm talking about the others and their pregnencies.

>>36664849
I think you confuse Jal wanting Sireyi to have her child, with, Jal wanting to get pregannt herself.
Isla and Sofia directly asked for that, Jal didn't.

>>36664845
>What child? We talk about Isla and Sofia now
Viviken and Milerna are the ones that need to watch out for a demonic assassin.

>>36664857
Isla is the one that wants Sireyi to carry hers, Jal said she wanted another one way back somewhere in the 30s, when we were just starting to date them.

>>36664872
20s, not 30s, my mistake. Trawling archives now.

>>36664872
And they aren't any less in danger no matter who gets pregnant, so how does that matter?

>>36664888
That would be the point.

While Sofia, Jal or Isla in the castle are not.

>>36664807
All yes

Sorry to be blunt, but it seems I wasn't getting my point across very well, and opted to be as clear as I could.

And I'll post in character about Jal wanting (or not) a kid herself, once the vote is done.

>>36664956
If she wants one, then I >>36664825
don't mind her having one. Its just hard to get a feeling for what they would be okay with without actual IC dialogue.

>>34700630

>When Vivi goes back to his blocks she asks “So can yer give us new kids if yer want or not?” she seems to be genuinely curious.

>Jal thinks about this, putting an arm around Sofia “Well” she says “You’d best get learning, if you don’t want yer best girls looking elsewhere” and she kisses Sofia on the cheek. Sofia blushes but does not disagree.

She's saying she wants kids, at least, that's how I read it.

I think there was another instance where she says something similar but more direct, but I can't find it.

>>36664807

>Its just hard to get a feeling for what they would be okay with without actual IC dialogue.

Good point, I'll try this conversation in character.

Going to post an update with Sireyi asking for explainations. PLease wait patiently.

>>36664987
Yes she said before she wants another kid, but the question was, does she want one right now. That was the question. Its possible she would have preferred to wait until Vivi is older or something.

>>36664987
>>34700929
>Jal’s grin indicates she can see the opportunity in that comment and opens her mouth to point it out when Sofia speaks first “Sireyi” she says kindly “We’ll wait until you feel ready, of course. I know how much a commitment means to you, but both Jal and I love our children and, maybe not today, maybe not this year, but yes, someday we both want another.”

Also this.

>>36665018
Well, if she doesn't, she could say no.

>>36665043
>Well, if she doesn't, she could say no.
Sure, its just really weird to just vote Yes, without actual input from the characters.

>>36665082
I read the vote as being whether Sireyi is willing to knock them up or not, not whether they say yes. We can't (or at least, shouldn't be able to) control their actions.

So if Jal wants a kid would anyone vote no?

>>36665108
Well the question was literally "Who gets pregnant", so...

“That’s something that I should get time to think about surely” you say, blinking in surprise “I mean, There’s the Killing Frost to deal with, the Lord of Life, we all have threats to our lives, not to mention Hanandrirac, are you sure this is the right time?”

“Yes” says Sofia firmly “Sireyi, there will always be threats to our lives, our children, if we’re going to wait until all dangers have gone, we’ll never have any children other than MIli and Vivi.”

“They’re not ordinary dangers” you point out “And besides, I expect I’ll have the Killing Frost dealt with before the end of the year. I can’t risk a childs life by carrying it myself when I have so many enemies, and I could get badly hurt the next time I go into a fight.”

“Have there been many ordinary dangers in your life?” asks Isla, you quirk an eyebrow at her “What I mean” she continues “Is that anything dangerous enough to threaten you, is going to be quite unusual.”

“True” you concede “But still, I don’t even know if you want children, or how many, or when.”

Sofia and Jal both look at Isla, who blushes “Yes, now, please” she whispers, her face going red.

“And you two?” you ask Sofia and Jal. They share a look “Perhaps one more” says Sofia “I’d say now, but I’d want a child when you have one too” she says “and I see your point about enemies, I suppose.”

“Yeah” says Jal “what Sof said” and crooks a thumb at Sofia.

Seems Isla wants kids now, and Sofia and Jal are willing to wait until Sireyi feels the time is right for her to have a child.

How do you respond?

This is going to be fun to diagram how all these kids are genetically related in the future.

>>36665252
Lucky then that no one ever said that.

>>36665249

Down for how long? A couple of weeks? A month or two?

Jesus christ, no one needs to carry a child for 9 months anymore, we sped up Sofia's and isla's pregnancy before.

>>36665206
>Offer to give someone a child (Isla)
When Sireyi carries a child, would a battle in which we take no damage still be at risk of losing the child? Would whether we lose the child or not be determined by a roll (probably Constitution)? Would Healing help avert such a thing?

>>36665235
We've had a discussion, none of us want to accelerate the pregnancy, calling people faggots for their justified worries just makes you look like an ill-mannered lout.

>>36665276
Sofia and Jal's, you mean.

>>36665276
>no one needs to carry a child for 9 months anymore
Maybe Sireyi would like to though? Did you consider she might enjoy the experience and not want to speed it up?

>>36665319

She will never be able to then, because there will always be a new enemy to smite. Like the giants from another plane.

>>36665310

What are the worries for that? Nothing wrong can come from it.

>>36665276
Because there was definitely war coming, and we don't really need to pretend this is like CoC with the Broodmother perk and a stack of Ovi Elixers.

>>36665310
>When Sireyi carries a child, would a battle in which we take no damage still be at risk of losing the child?

Yes, level of risk depends upon stage of pregnancy and how much physical effort/stress is involved.

Would whether we lose the child or not be determined by a roll (probably Constitution)?

Most likely, yes.

Would Healing help avert such a thing?

Yes.

Will call the vote in a few, but Isla-only is a clear winner so far.

>>36665341
>Nothing bad can come from it.
Yes, because we want to fight the Killing Frost OUTSIDE of winter.
Because that makes sense.

>>36665341
>What are the worries for that? Nothing wrong can come from it.
The worries about the Killing Frost and other confirmed threats.

Accelerating the pregnancy, we just don't want to, and it's possible our wives might not want to either.

If you need to rush, you probably shouldn't be bringing a child into the world in the first place.

>She will never be able to then, because there will always be a new enemy to smite. Like the giants from another plane.
We have significant downtime between major antagonists.

>>36665206
>Offer to give someone a child (all three, Ilsa first)

>>36665403
Yeah, I mean, when I voted for "Not now", I kinda meant, when we don't have any immediate threats like the KF to deal with.
So I figured we get a chance for kids at quiet spot inbetween.
Honestly, I think if it would have been "soon" instead of "right now", it would have turned out different.
I fear her wives shot themselves in the foot with their rush tactic.

>>36665448
They probably did, yes.

Hopefully OP will give us the chance to vote if Sireyi (and therefore Sofia and Jal) should become pregnant or not at the point when the Killing Frost is dealt with.

Ok, Isla-only, writing.

>>36665448

Not really. We've been postponing this decision for a long time, and marrying and rescuing Sireyi's mother always came up as excuses.

>>36665514
No. Sireyis mother was the reason for not wanting marriage and the ensuing wedding night.
Sireyis possible pregnancy wasn't adressed in story at all until now.

>>36665276
I know that. Assuming a month pregnancy Isla should be on done before we're looking at any problems and yes I know I'm being over worried but IC we have no promise that nothing will happen and it is still a good idea to have someone who can reach the floor when the others have their bumps.

>>36664082
>so we’d like you to bear a child of all four of us, I believe you can do that with your powers.”
Sireyi's getting a clone baby?

“Very well” you say “I’m in too high a risk of getting hurt right now to have a child, and” you look at Sofia and Jal for confirmation “I guess that leaves both of you out as well?” Sofia and Jal nod in confirmation.

“But you” you say to Isla “are willing to have our child now?”

Isla looks down, blushing “yes” she says, looking to you for approval.

“Well then” you say with a smile, laying your hands on her “I just have a few questions: Do you want a boy or a girl?”

“Either” responds Isla.

“Do you want them to be angelic in nature?” you ask

“I guess they will anyway...” she says hesitantly.

“Normally yes” you say “But I can make them just human if you’d prefer?”

“Oh no” she says “An angelic child is fine.”

“Do you want to pick what colour their hair and eyes will be?” you ask

Isla shakes her head.

“And will they be just from the two of us” you say, “or will they have more than two parents” you indicate Jal and Sofia with a nod of your head. The three girls discuss it then agree that this child will be just yours and Islas.

“And lastly” you say “Will you carry your child for the usual time, or do you want me to speed things up?”

Isla looks indecisive and then says “the usual time, unless there’s danger.”

I just updated the rules pastebin with new Sanctuary rules, character sheet to follow shortly. Reposting in thread in case anyone is interested.

Sanctuary: You can cleanse an area around you, removing evil magic and influences, increasing the healing speed of all within its area and warding it against evil creatures. This lasts as long as you remain within the Sanctuary (or choose to end it), though you cannot regain Divine Energy spent upon this power until the duration ends. The Sanctuary is a fixed location and does not move with you.
If you create a sanctuary and evil creatures are already in the area then they make a Willpower roll with a +10 bonus against the DC to enter the sanctuary: if successful they are unaffected, if they fail they must immediately attempt to leave the sanctuary by the shortest route possible. They will not take suicidal risks to escape (such as jumping off cliffs) but they will attempt to leave by the shortest route possible.
The Sanctuary power treats creatures that detect as evil (such as demons, some types of undead) as evil even if they aren’t evil.
Demonblooded and other mortals with *evil* supernatural heritage may be treated as evil by the sanctuary, or they may not – the stronger their supernatural heritage, the more likely they are to be so affected.

>>36665957
So how is this timeskip going to work?

Is it just going to be you glossing over the events of the years or will important things be represented by in-character segments, interactive or otherwise?

>>36666137
I hope we start playing as... uh... Milly Vanilly, y'know, the paladin child.

>>36666137
>Is it just going to be you glossing over the events of the years or will important things be represented by in-character segments, interactive or otherwise?

A good question, I was just going to give a summary, but if players want to pick and choose what's going to happen, I'm ok with that.

Interactive timeskip?

Y/N

Y means you'll get to choose what you do in response to certain events.

N means I'll just narrate it.

>>36666204
Let's raise an army to spread benevolence across the land!

>>36666204

I want you to narrate it, but I want focus on important things and for them to be shown from an in-character perspective.

Not really sure, but I would default to interactive.

I especially like realm building stuff, so I would like to get to steer events in our fledgling nation.

>>36666254
It's basically a question of whether you want the timeskip to be one thread long or five threads long with chances to fuck up horribly along the way.

>>36666307
That depends on how many choices he gives in those three years.
And we can always fuck up really.

>>36666204

>>36666303
The nation isn't going to be in any condition to need steering during the timeskip. It's not just going to spring up out of nowhere, those three years are going to be spent building things and almost nothing else.

I don't get what you mean by realm-building stuff.

>>36666390

What?
The formative years of the nation is when we st up the infrastructure and administration.
Thats the most interesting part.

>>36666390
The moment we have people, thes epeople will need guidance and goverment, so they will need steering. Where to build, what to buld, how to deal with problems arising. It will need plenty of steering in that time.

>>36666427
This isn't an administration quest, OP has said before it won't be that.

I meant building things like houses and other basic things a nation needs to exist.

>>36666455
Yeah, but it's all horribly basic things that would be mind-numbingly boring to play through.

>>36666204
Y for the succubus nation thing. I'm iffy on the other stuff though.

I'm going with yes.

“Alright” you say to Isla with a joking smile “brace yourself...”

---

You wake up alone in your bed, a rare occurrence. You stretch out your arm, searching for Isla to cuddle in the warmth of your blankets. Your questing arm finds nothing. You raise your head, blinking blearily and looking around your bedchamber, not seeing Isla.

Ah now you remember, she’s away in the Republic of Gorim helping the citizens there, you feel a momentary pang of pain as you recall your battle against the Killing Frost....

---

After your honeymoon, as autumn was drawing in, you decided to do something about the Killing Frost. You found it in a land far away to the north, a land covered in ice and snow, devoid of life, animals and plants alike locked in ice.

With your allies at your side, and your powers stronger than ever you knew you could defeat the Frost. You broke into its lair, after battling past ice elementals of al kinds and beheld your foe, a living snowstorm.

“Why do you come here?” it asked you curiously.

You tried to negotiate with it, explain that what it was doing was killing everyone, that it didn’t have to listen to, didn’t have to obey the Lord of Life. It just laughed at you.

“I am one of the Three Sorrows” it explained “The only one free, if my brothers roamed this world I might join you to stop them, we always did fight for every life. But they’re not, it is I, and I alone that will extinguish all life on this plane.”

“Why?” asked Isla “Why are you doing this, why kill everything?”

“Because it is what I am” it explained “I was made to end worlds.” And then it attacked.

>>36666390
>building things and almost nothing else
Because clearly people don't have conflicts, the building won't run into problems and no decisions will need to be made when organising over a milion people in building a nation from scratch. Clearly nothing of interest happens in such a time that can influence the direction of the nation later.

Don't be silly.

You were so used to your powers, your new divinity shielding you, that it took you off guard with the intensity of its assault, behind it you realised a sickening truth: It had the power of the gods, just like you. You battled it as long as you could, long after your allies had fled to avoid dying. The icy fortress it had built crumbled around you, torn apart by your struggle, but in the end you were defeated, your powers exhausted, your flesh chilled and frostbitten, your blood painting the snow.

As you lay on the ice, the snowstorm approached you and shrank in on itself, becoming a roughly humanoid figure of ice and snow, walking until it stood over you “Now you die” it said dispassionately “small warm things, you always freeze and die, and my ice will cover this world, forever, and I will enjoy the screams of outrage from my brothers, as they realise I am now greater than they can ever be.”

“What gives you such power” you asked, buying time for your recuperative powers to work.

“The Lord of Life” it said, standing over you “has no need for the power it consumes from the gods it kills, but bolstered by such power, I can freeze the entire world.”

“I wonder” you asked, blood freezing on your chin even as your broken bones reknit and your flesh mended itself “what would you do if someone could hold back your ice and cold, how would you kill them?”

It grins, the smile of a creature with no warmth or empathy it in “Not possible” it said.

“Wrong” you replied as you unleashed your Sanctuary, channelling your own deific power into it. For miles around ice cracked and broke, living green shoots forcing through the snow, life thriving as the frozen grip of the Killing Frost was broken, its magic wilting and failing in the face of yours.

It turned its head back and forth looking around in disbelief as though it cannot comprehend what you did.

“No, NO!” it bellowed in rage, ice and cold spreading it from it, trying to suppress your powers, neither of you could gain an advantage and eventually it realised this, advancing on you in a rage “I’m going to kill you slowly” it promised as it advanced on you.

“Not today” you managed to force a smile as you called down the lightning and teleported away.

It was clear that defeating the Killing Frost was not going to be easy, you

I happen to know that Pally said this won't turn into a boring administration/strategy quest in the style of Hive Queen and it's ilk in one of the earliest threads, which is what I'm worried you're going for.

>>36666535

>>36666724
Because that's how my brain interpreted realm-building things.

The realm-building things are the things AA spares us the cruelty of and things like them according to my brain.

>>36666761
Y'know, we could still be fighting it. In fact, you could have let us pick some tactics and roll when fighting it instead of predetermining the outcome.

>>36666794
I would have no problem doing those things if AA wouldn't, I happen to like that part.
I respect AA wanting to do it, and don't mind, but I would have been happy doing it by ourselves.
And while a player can try to turn the quest into a direction, he still can't decide how the QM does it.

>>36666809

Timeskips are timeskips. Stop that.

>>36666857
And we wished to play out certain events in the timeskip rather than have Pally narrate them. He's railroading.

>>36666857
Its a legitimate complaint, no one likes cutscene weakness. Might be necessary for the plot, still no one needs to like it.

>>36666693
>>36666771

If this question is
Will picking an option reduce your twins current store of deific power?
The answer is *no*

However she cannot generate her own, she only has what you grant her, the option to chase will reduce your (current) deific power, which recovers over time.

So far 2 posts have asked to keep fighting instead of running, so I'll put it to a vote.

See no point in sticking to a fight we'Ve been pretty much told we literally can't win.
Especially not since we start out with "you are near dead". I would have liked fighting him on our terms, but like this its pointless.

This thread is a mess so far.
Can we decide when to fight it again Pally? Personally I don't want to wait three years to end the Killing Frost.

>>36667011
Staying doesn't mean this turns into a normal battle in a normal session, assuming we could even beat him under those rules.

>>36667010
We just proved he can't deal with our Sanctuary, and it covers the entire realm. I don't follow your logic.

>>36667065

That's what the fighting again option was for.

>>36667065
Its pretty obvious we are narrativly not capable of defeating it before then.

>>36667091
That sounds like quitter's talk to me, anon. We mustn't lose hope!

Teleport away it is, tallying earlier vote regarding follow-up actions and writing.

>>36667091
Actually nothing of the sort is narratively clear. We have no idea if Pally was planning on us gaining more power over time or constantly harrassing the Killing Frost

>>36667155
Neither of which means fighting him now.
So yes, we know we can't defeat him now.

Once it became clear that defeating the Killing Frost would be a major undertaking you decided to stay away from it until you could build up your deific powers from your worshippers. You know you’ll face it again one day.

Although that was an important event in the years that followed, it wasn’t the only one. Grax, Twoblue and Demihydria all left the main Keep of Dalvin.
Grax seemed happy, having trained under the captain he wanted to join the Dornmer military, or maybe a mercenary company.
Twoblue, after it became clear Matthias wasn’t interested in her, went back to the spider village.
Demihydria simply left one night, a note left behind saying that she had been summoned back to the fae court: they hold to their bargain, but have yet to appoint another ambassador or other representative.

Wegenthal, Bokin and the Frost Giants became more distant, they began to avoid your new nation, bad memories of demons you suppose.

You could let them go their own ways, or you could track them down and talk to them.

Reducing to yes/no vote due to number of characters involved.

N means you let them go, though you can always go looking for them later. NPCs will be removed from the roster but are not dead, and an be re-recruited if needed.

Y means you talk to them and (in conversation) have the option of trying to keep them around.

Grax is happy, so that's fine. I want to make sure Twoblue's really over her unrequited love and not completely heartbroken. I'm curious why Demihydria was called back to the court. If the giants want to avoid demons due to bad memories, that's fine, I'm not going to make them go near our nation.

The people that have been terrified of and running from a kingdom of demons for thousands of years across many generations don't want to walk into a kingdom of demons.

And its a really good reason.

>>36667696
And hasn't Sireyi been constantly fighting to get other people to be included and to diminish the racial barriers and tensions wherever she goes? If anything I expect Sireyi would welcome the frost giants and do everything to show them that its not "demons" that is the problem.

Rolled 2 (1d2)

I'm seeing a clear no for Grax, a yes for Twoblue, a tie for Demi and a (close) no for Wegenthal.

Rolling for Demi, and writing Twoblue conversation.

He doesn't vote for Demi, but he explicitly mentions a *druid* being useful. As Demihydria is the only druid, one can logically conclude he intended to vote for seeking her out, making Demihydria 8-6 in favor.

And it would be completely within Sireyi's character to make an effort to bring them in and help them overcome their apprehension instead of just shrugging and going "oh well, what can ya do."

God this entire thread has been such a clusterfuck it was physically painful to read.

Not you though Pally, you were great as always.

>>36667845

>And it would be completely within Sireyi's character to make an effort to bring them in and help them overcome their apprehension
What makes you think she didn't try and simply failed?
Clearly they didn't leave from one day to the other, and probably explained their reasoning.

>>36667885
Maybe she did try that and got the vibe that it was just making them feel bad to reject her attempts and they already felt bad about avoiding her nation solely because of demons but they weren't going to budge and she decided to stop instead of making them feel even worse for no gain.

>>36667885

IF you read the vote
>Y means you talk to them and (in conversation) have the option of trying to keep them around.

It clearly shows a Y vote has us go and talk to them. While a N vote has no such thing.

Grax has obviously moved on with his life, you bid him a fond farewell and tell him he’s always welcome in your domain, a sentiment echoed by Sofia.

Demihydria disappeared in the middle of the night, so you didn’t have a chance to say goodbye, she left behind a few broken hearts behind her in the guards. You consider going after her to ensure that the fae aren’t mistreating her or plotting, but in the end you decide against it.

Likewise you felt conflicted over Wegenthals decision to move his clan further away from your new nation, but you understood the reason behind it. You just wished he could see that the succubi have fled the same sort of demons as the giants have, they have more in common than they knew.

As Twoblue prepared to leave, you went to see her in her tower room all covered in spiderwebs, packing her few possessions into a bag made from webbing.

“So this is goodbye huh?” you say, startling her.

Twoblue spins around and upon seeing its you she relaxes “Yeah” she says.

“So why the change?” you ask gently.

Twoblue shrugs “Grandmother wanted someone here to make sure you weren’t going to sell us out, but I think she trusts you and Baroness Sofia enough that I’m not needed.”

“And is that the only reason?” you ask the young girl.

She looks conflicted and then says “Well, there’s also Matthias.”

“Ah” you say “Are you and he..?”

She shakes her head sadly “He won’t even look at me” she says “Him and Jianxi are...well he has no time for me. I wouldn’t ask him to give up Jianxi, but he just says that they are happy.”

By which I mean, if she want sto find someone, she shouldn't give up just because of Matthias, but she doesn't need to look just for that.

Also some people said there was a missvote regarding Demi, Pally.

>>36668051
>Matthias isn’t the only option around here, there’re plenty of others
We've got a nation of a milion succubi.
No sweet and smart spider lady should need to have a cold bed!

ok, I'll have you go after Demi afterwards.

>>36668157
Missvotes happen, he doesn't need to retcon it just for that, I mean, this thread has been troubled enough, no need to add to it because I couldn't properly set my vote.

Was what I was going to post right before.>>36668188
Nevermind then.

>>36668198
It may just be Sireyi giving it a second thought after talking with Two-Blue.
No retcon, just changing one's mind.

This. It is probably getting on top time for her to have kids.
>>36668188
Any chance of offering to help Bokin with the coming of age of he waited for us.

>>36668343
No need to add that clusterfuck to the overall confused mess. Lets wait with that until we get a regular yearly tasks choice next.

>>36668343
I wouldn't want his ritual to be glossed over in a timeskip write-up.

>>36668188
Just going to mention that one thing I'd like to see in this timeskip would be everybody's reaction to learning that Isla's having triplets, in case you weren't planning on showing that.

>>36668393
>>36668375
My concern is that he keeps getting put off. He was a comrade in arms, fighting and bleeding faithfully by our side. He deserves better.

>>36668459
We kinda saved his tribe from extinction, I'd say we are pretty even.
The only reason why I even consider doing it at all is because it won as a option back then and we promised.
I still think he should be doing it by himself, because thats pretty much the point.

“Matthias isn’t the only option” you say to the young werespider, “there’s plenty more men – and women – out there, if you want to find the right one for you, but you don’t need to if you don’t want to. You’re young and you have your whole life ahead of you.”

Twoblue gives you a sceptical look and hoists her bag on her shoulder “My job as an ambassador” she says “is over, the guy I want won’t have me, what more is there for me?”

“What do you want?” you ask her.

She shrugs “I dunno, I guess I’ll go back to the village, see how everyone is doing.”

“And after that?” you say

She looks thoughtful “I think Grandmother will find me a mate” she says “and there’s always things that need doing at the Hive. Why, did you have a job for me?” she asks you curiously.

Fellowship: You think Twoblue doesn’t want to go back to the werespider village, but is used to sticking by her family, no matter what.

This. We can really use someone experienced with living in the wild. Hell landscape is very different from this.

>>36668588

Ranger and informant. Sounds like a job. Or either, really.

I noticed we are still Sireyi Valyenya. Did we not end up taking Sofias name?

>>36668588
> Come with me to my new realm
We need a seneschal. We could also use a barrister and a councillor

“Come with me to my new realm” you say “your skills in living in the wilderness are going to be invaluable in the coming months and years. The succubi may know how to forage and live in Hell, but they’ll need someone to teach them about living in this world.”

Two blue considers your words for several long moments before saying “Ok, I’ll give it a try.”

“Glad to have you with us” you say, putting an arm around her shoulders.

Demihydria disappearing in the night did trouble you, at first you waited a few days, thinking it over, then you decided to go and visit the fae court to see why she left. You go alone, not anticipating any trouble, but the guards outside the grove of trees that house the fae court stop you.

“I’m sorry” says one of the guards “But the King and Queen cannot see you now. Please come back later.”

“I just want to see Demihydria” you say, the guards exchange looks, they’re uneasy “Demihydria is unavailable at this time” he says.

“Why?” you ask.

“I can’t say” comes the response.

“When can I see the King and Queen?” you ask

“They will be busy all day” says the guard, “come back tomorrow.”

Something doesn’t seem right.

“I really need to speak to Demi now” you insist, pushing past the guards. They try to stop you, but with your strength it’s a futile effort.

Even with a dozen of the trying to hold you back they can’t do much more than slow you down. One of them gets the bright idea of trying to stab you with his spear, and which point you give them all a low-powered jolt of lightning and walk into the fae court.

There’s not many fae in attendance today, just the King and Queen and a few advisors. Demihydria is nowhere to be seen and the King and Queen are conversing with...Isla?

No, that’s not Isla, that looks more like Isla used to look, a demonblood. In fact you recall seeing her before, in the Drowned Lands, under the command of the Lord of Life.

The conversation stops as soon as you enter, the Queen jumps to her feet “what is the meaning of this! Guards get her out of here!” You can hear more of the fae guards on the way.

The...other Isla turns to look at you, she looks surprised to see you, and maybe a little scared(?).

“What’s going on here?” you ask as more guards come rushing into the court, a hundred and more of them.

“We” say the King calmly “are entertaining a guest, what do you want?”

“I want to see Demihydria” you say “and she” you indicate the demonic-looking Isla “serves the Lord of Life, she’s an enemy.”

“She’s your enemy” says the Queen, remaining standing, and recovering some of her poise as the guards surround you. “Not necessarily ours, and Demihydria is...unavailable.”

“Why are you even speaking to her?” you ask “I thought we had an agreement, and what’s happened to Demihydria?”

“We are considering alternative offers” says the King “And Demihydria is being punished for her disobedience.”

>>36669661
The King and Queen have proven themselves untrustworthy allies, so they need to be removed from power and imprisoned at the very least.

If they're punishing Demi, I'm willing to be it's for something she did in our favor, like not kidnapping our kids or something equally nice. As a fae and a friend, she's the natural choice for who we should replace them with.

Alternative solutions would be creating a destructive storm over their forest and keeping it going until it's a wasteland, but I thought that might be too extreme. Also slow.

>>36669567
>What did Demi do?
>whatever the lord of life says he is offering, it is ultimatly death for you and your people. This is far more serious than politics.
