>Maybe it's time to do something about your itch. Make some plans.

Oh yeah, we're doing something. Okay Anons, what should we do?

>>37637943
SOUTH TO HUMANTOWN.

then to ELFLAND

Though I'm really surprised elle hasn't asked us to help her settle in town yet.

>>37637943

Elf family! Think of the shenanigans! Plus dad's sister sounds awesome

>>37637834
>Other(?)
We should get Elle, Sara, the blacksmith, and Lyra together and have them design some armour.

Elle was looking for new challenges, Sara will probably be happy to try new enchantments, and several of our friends could use some improved protection.

>>37637834
>[x] Maybe it's time to do something about your itch. Make some plans.

>>37637943

There is a small ring of mountains on the way to the land bridge. If there be dorfs there, I'd like to see them. We'll learn some metallurgy, kill some dragons, then we go and harass our relatives.

>>37637968
South first? I'd say go West. Gives the anons that want to explore more of the Forest before leaving the chance to do that. That would lead us to the mountains and the chance to meet our Tinyspider cousins.

Then we can head towards the land bridge, passing human towns on route to Elfa Elfa island to confirm Elf-Fangs.

>>37637834
>Maybe it's time to do something about your itch. Make some plans.

>>37638028
>If there be dorfs there

Possible there might be far reaching settlements, but Dorf lands are in the South East continent I think.

Plans and maps and all sorts of chatting about the future?

Writing!

>>37638034
I don't wanna skip the nearest human city.

So we are just gonna wander into the elf village unannounced right? And if anyone questions us we just say. "It's ok I am half-elf yes." and keep walking right?

When ever we go to the elves anyway

>>37637968
Elle wanted to settle in the village first, and then move to the city later.

>>37638028
I think dorfs only live in that mountain range in the south. So we have to choose between visiting either dorfs or elves on the first part of the trip.

>>37637918
We really need to pester her about why she became a Half Gem Lord, untill she just blurts out that she collects shiny rocks. And then laugh at her embarassment.
We also need to point out that we're the only one who actually evolved into something that isn't a half lord.

>>37638079
Although the one on the river would be the fastest journey, because river, there isn't much difference between the two distance wise.

Heading for the one in the South West would let us see more things without back tracking.

>>37638083
When the time comes, we will, of course, take the option that's the funniest. Funniest to us anyway.

That might give us a chance to alternate between "I am a Giant Spider" and "I am a Half Elf." Could be fun.

>>37638118
We're skipping that and going full lord.

>>37638028
>learn dwarven metallurgy
Now this is a plan I can get behind.

Those updated pastebins are awesome.

Goddamit REQM I needed those sides

>>37638219
Lord is weapon expertise, though. Lyra is full NANOMACHINES SON stronk.

>>37638280
To be fair, there are Lords for all sorts of things, which makes them kind of scrub evolution.

Our brothers
>Level 24: Bears: The New Meal Plan?

It's happening

>>37638321
Agreed, Lords seem pretty I-didn't-qualify-for-anything-else tier.

>>37638321
This anon gets it. Lord evos are scrub evos. Real spiders go full spider and get 2x more spiderbutt.

>>37638280
>lyra is full NANOMACHINES SON
When do we start punching the ground to make shockwaves and magma eruptions?

>>37638527
We already can do that. It a bad idea to do so in a forest, filled with ruins of the glorious Spiderbutt Kingdom though.

>>37638572
So when do we staaaaart.

Also, when do we get to throw piles of wagons and houses at some guy with a sword?

Sleepiness notwithstanding-
There's stuff to do.

Maybe more so now than before.

You were ready last night. You aren't a child. You learn from your mistakes!
So instead of trying to escape from the monster pile, or trying to carry them all, you planted a Map and an 'exploration' book nearby.

There is a bit of wiggling to stretch long enough to reach them, but you can't have everything.

The map is Dad's- More than a little beat up, and covered in notes to boot. As well as the location of gods know how many dungeons and ruins.
He has something of a one-track mind.

Your finger gently finds its place on the wide square of parchment- A little house sketched hastily into a tree.
Home.

From there, you trace your way down the river, past the ruins, till you reach Oakring.

The map expands the further south you look- North is rather hastily filled with trees and the general location of Mountains. Guesses at Lakes and so on. The forest is not particularly mappable. Or friendly, for that matter.

But south- the river leads to a trade city, surrounded by towns and farm communities. Westward is Lann's home, and further still is the elven isle. Peninsula. Whatever.
Your lack of geographical terms can be safely ignored. Or remedied, if you cared to try and ask Dad about it.
He gets a little excited about teaching, though. And then he breaks out the equivalent of university material, when all you anted to know was a word.

>>37638599

East in the second continent leads to the mountains, which are apparently full of dwarves. You probably should have asked the merchants visiting for the festival, but you slept for more than a little while the day after. Messing with your sleep schedule is not appreciated.

And further south are cities and ruins, even a desert. All sorts of things, yes.

From the pastebin
>Amulet: Not hers just yet.

Does this just need updating, or have we not done it yet?

>>37638965
Your father was working on figuring out the enchantment.
He gets side-tracked a lot.

>>37638280
We have mad skills with a weapon too.

>>37638383
>>37638321
Naah. They all have their specialties.
Something-Lord is just for achievement in not-directly-spiderish things.
Wolf is a jumping spider, Orb is a weaver spider, Grave is eating-huge-things spider.

Meanwhile we've got Lords for super-weapon skill, gems obsession and star magic.

>>37638118
>We also need to point out that we're the only one who actually evolved into something that isn't a half lord.
Elle and bros are not evolved yet and they're on straight paths towards Orb and Wolf types.

So... we're getting super strength.

And aria is getting super weapon skills.

When do we have our sick revengeance duel?

>>37639414
I'd prefer to not become a lord, but I'm stumped on where we can head next. Maybe we could go for embodying the whole planet in miniature?

>>37638912
We want ALL THE THINGS.

Also, REQM, I have to go to sleep so I can't wait until the usual post-thread question session, so I'll throw it now:

How did the freshly post-evo Aria vs Lyra sparring session go?

>>37639537
She already challenged us, I hope we still have that arena match before leaving.

>>37639566
>where do you go next
Obviously, the next step for us is GOLDEN skullantula.

>>37639537
Lyra still has better stats when it comes to fighting skills.

Lord a shit.

Are we Raiden or are we Sam? Or are we the most badass Senator ever?

>>37639643
We're the senator, of course.
we're the ones shooting goddamn power geisers and shit.

>>37639635
We're just that much overachiever. We're not half-lord only because we achieved other shit even harder.

>>37639669
>>37639643
inb4 moths hear about this.

>>37639669
We seriously need to get in a fight that we can bring all our abilities into. One where we can go "the floor is now lava" and metalbend weapons to attack them as we leap between obsidian pillars.

>>37639678
Lord is the generic shit evolution every goddman race can get as long as they have a single skill decently trained and haven't done anything actually race specific and all it does is make you better at that thing.
It is the most boring evolution you could possibly get.

>>37639794
So naive, Nin. Don't you know that they have the power to cockblock anything you do? You don't fuck with this Senator.

>>37639746
That's probably how we would've done the hydra if we were solo.

But aside from that, we don't have many high-epic fight opportunities around.

Also, we got a crowd on us that is quite far below our badassery grade (yes, Jin and Shezka are second evos, but harpies and wolves are a step below from arachne, so their seconds are closer to our first in power. Nin can at most flutter around. And we'll have to hoist our snake scarf onto somebody else if we start powerforging unless we cook her with heat.)

>>37638118
Sara COULD have had a grave variant like us, but we all realized that too late.

>>37638912

Damn it. I was in class or elves and dwarves would have been a tie.

>>37639790
Nah, that's the others.
You're just a spider hunting shit in a forest and you get better at hunting shit in a forest in the way you've been preferring to hunt shit in a forest.

If we didn't nab blessings, we would've been the most boring.

>>37639908
You need dedication man I was in class too, still got that elf in

>>37639678
Half-lords weren't even on our potential evo.
We did not actually achieve things required for them at all.

>>37639988
Actually we did meet the requirement for Half-Lord.
We also reached Wolf-spider.

>>37639988
Actually, REQM said we could have been a half-lord if we turned down grave.

>>37639988
We had qualified for Half-Lord, Wolf and Grave by the time of our evolution, only we had overqualified for Grave, which is why it was offered first.

The atlas- Well, 'exploration' book, anyway is some halfway between an actual atlas and your father's journal. Full of corrections, names and dates, cities- all sorts of things.

You skim pages, looking for the elflands. It doesn't matter what they were called before, they're the elflands now.

Ah. Here you are...
A peninsula separated by a land bridge- the tides rise and fall over it daily, leaving caravans to build up, then race across. A city formed at the entrance, of course- doubling as a port town as well as the main road to the elven lands, since its creation it has swelled into one of the largest cities in the world.

Also, it is apparently full to the brim with half elves. And everything else.

The actual peninsula is a mish-mash of provinces and property, owned by families stretching back into ages past. Your father's hometown is marked out with another house, this one close to a circle drawn with a flame near the centre.
Which means nothing to you whatsoever.

You'd think he'd put a legend on the map, but that'd likely be asking too much.

There's notes on monsters and the like in the area- A few of the families host hives apparently. Bees are common to the elven lands, though competition between hives is common. Colonies of mermaids live in different areas around the coast. And a sahuagin problem, apparently. Fish people.

Like the lizards, maybe?

You try to dip into the history section- and quite quickly discover that it is less a history of the area, and more a genealogy of every elven family that the author decided was important.
Six pages of names and dates later, you've abandoned your attempts and started poking different monsters.

Any ideas on what might happen if we go full dungeoneering and battlefield shaping?

>>37640054
You get a yawn from Sheszka, a bit of blinking and a sleepy smile. And then she lies down again.
Nin simply curls up further, wrapping her blankets tighter and murmuring.

You manage to get Ezzy up and moving, at least.

"Mwaaaaaaah- Lyra? What isss it?"

You heat yourself, ever so slightly, and point towards the map as the snake curls tighter.
"I was wondering, yes? If there was anywhere you wanted to go?"

She tucks her arms under her blanket- an oversized napkin, really, but telling her that would just get your hair pulled again.
"A map?"
"Of the continent, yes."
"Where are we?"

"Up here, yes? This one is our home- This is the village. And your home should be... Here, yes?"
"It's far away."
"Everything is far away. But there is the boat, or caravans, or walking-"
"Caravans?"

"Hmm. When people want to move supplies, they group up, yes? So they can be safer."
"Like you and everyone else?"
There's the sarcasm.

"I am thinking that I would not be able to escape them, in any case."
"Mhm. What were you looking at, then?"
"The elf lands, yes. My father's home."
"That seems much farther than mine."
"Weeks, likely."

"How would you even get there, then?"

Sailing is nice.
Failing that, we can do a caravan.

Ask adventurer guild what are the dangerous monster-infested areas en route to elflands.
Go straight through them.

The way of the giant spider.

>>37640068
>Just get on the road and walk! Rambling life.
Caravns are too slow, and sailing would mean missing out on so much to explore on the way.
>>37640177
Or this.

>>37640068
Let's caravan it, if it's convenient.

Whether we walk or caravan is entirely dependant on if there is one in town.

>>37640122
>I have a feeling the others would lead to our party getting sidetracked.

I have a feeling the others would lead our party to awesome side-quests and monster fights.

As if Lyra had the patience and restraint to keep up with a caravan or sit on a boat for days or weeks.
She'd get frustrated to no end at all the exploration she can't do.

>[x] Sign on with a caravan, at least for a bit. Pay, food, and people to talk to!

>Sign on with a caravan, at least for a bit. Pay, food, and people to talk to!

We could always Take some of Elle's silk/dresses with us to sell at a larger town or city... Assuming she didn't want to tag along...

Caravans or potentially just walking through the most monster infested hellholes you can find.

Got it.

Writing!

>>37640068
>Just get on the road and walk! Rambling life.

Don't forget, we need to visit the wolves territory before we leave, just so Shezka can brag about her superior alpha!

>>37640400
I don't think we can convince the caravans to make detours through monster infested hellholes for us.
Unless its the fun kind of caravan.

Perhaps a dwarf caravan that's heading to elfland.

>>37640400

I just see Mum learning that Lyra is planning on going on a sightseeing tour of all the monster hotspots then making her agree to only travel with the Caravans unless Lyra can defeat her in 1v1 combat...

>>37640471
>>37640495
Dorf caravan that travels through monster infested lands to hunt for exotic materials like giant bear pelts?

>>37640562
Not so much, if they were looking at setting up a town towards the western tip of the chain, a little ways outside the forest, then it would take us in the right direction.

>>37640446
>tattered
Please, even Lyra is better tailor than this.

>>37640937
It's true. As long as lyra is around, there will be a bare minimum of clothing.

>>37640937
You clearly don't appreciate the aesthetic quality of battle torn clothing.

>>37640998
I do, I just don't see it happening with spidersilk available.

Unless we're lacking in food needed to keep producing it.

You sit your chin on your fist, brushing the lamia's scales with your thumb as you think.
There's a lot of arguments for each, really. And no real reason you couldn't do them all, in time.

But if you're headed to the elflands... Hmm.

"Probably a caravan, yes."
"Mmmm- Ah. Why?"
You tap the paper again, tracing the main roads, through the trade city, towards the elflands.

"Caravans need goods, guards, and a destination. And each city is large- There would always be someone moving from place to place."
"It sounds like a lot of work."
"Not for you. They'd probably hitch me to a cart, yes."
"I think it would take more than one to make a difference."

You smile lopsidedly.
"Probably. But we know people in the guild- Getting hired as a guard would be easy, I think. And if it really came down to it- Well, I am an arachne, yes."
"Yes?"
"Humans pay very well for our silk. I could pay our way onto the caravan. Or act as a merchant. All sorts of things."

"So you would just walk or ride from town to town?"
"Well- I am sure there would be monsters between them. And horses need to rest, sometimes."
The little snake is already giggling.

"I do not know what you are laughing about."
"Your sister is right about you, you know."
"Who?"
"All of them."

"I do not know what you are talking about."
"That you cannot sit still. Everyone else would take a break, and you would run off into the woods and chase monsters."
"Sometimes I take breaks, yes."
"I have been here for two months. You take 'breaks' when you can't move anymore. When you are too tired to do anything else."

>>37641189

"I am a very active young woman, yes."
"You are a hyperactive child."
"And you are a ticklish snake."
"Wait- No, stop!"

Her laughter dissolves halfway into hissing as you peel her off your neck, pinning her with one hand and gently tickling up and down her sides- right where flesh dissolves into scales is her biggest weakpoint. She laughs incomprehensibly, pleading and slapping at your hand with her tail as you take your revenge.

She's in tears by the time you let up, barely breathing from laughing so hard.

"Haaah haaaa- Thisss changess nothing. Sssilly sspider."
You snort.
"Yes, yes, Hissy."
"I will bite you."

You stick out your tongue.

People are starting to wake up, at least. The day is beginning.

She can tell us during the hunt.

A little bit of everything, sure.

Writing!

>>37641496
Also, food delays.

So, do we only have stockings for our front legs?

>>37641795

That's a point, can our arms reach all areas of our Spider butt or can sneaky snakes and mischievous moths monopolise on that?

>>37641914
We can reach our spinnerets for the silk, so yes, we can reach all parts of our spiderbutt.

It's too quiet.

You could probably fidget back and forth arguing with yourself for hours, but there's little point in that.
Not when you could instead while away hours arguing with your family instead.

Ezzy spirals up your arm in a heartbeat, arranging herself at your throat with a huff, and you pull free of your friend-pile.
There's things to do, people to see!

Dad is carefully removing Sara's drooling face from a book, and Mom is arranging breakfast. The boys are already gone. Aria isn't visible, which usually means that she's unconscious upstairs, and won't be down till later.

So, it's Elle to start!

You skitter next to your sister, planting yourself down- She's already sewing, neatly stitching... a sleeve, it looks like?
You aren't the best at this sort of thing.

She keeps to her work for a minute or so, finishing the circle of stitching, tying it off and snipping the excess thread away before she turns to you, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes?"

"Are you going to leave?"
Esmerelda chokes, giggling and snorting as you put up your hands.
"Wait, wait. No. I mean, are you planning to leave the nest, yes?"

Elle laughs a little as you blush, waving her hand back and forth as you wait.
"Maybe to a city, yes? Or to start in the village. I am not sure. Why?"
You cross your arms, humming.
"Hmm- I am trying to what I want to do, yes? I was thinking of going to the elf lands first. Maybe along the trade routes, wokring with a caravan."

"Ah. Was doing everything all at once not an option?"
The snake is laughing again.
"Are you the one poisoning Ezzy against me? I am not that bad, yes."

"Not that bad at what, dearheart?"
Mom crawls up behind you, her hair already tied back, horns glinting in the morning sun.
"She thinks she can focus on one thing at a time, yes."

Mom looks down at you, mock pity written all over her face as she ruffles your hair.
"Oh. Oh, Lyra. My dearest."

You swat at her hand as everyone laughs.
Rats, all of them.

>>37642786

"Fine, then. What about you, yes?"
"Me?"
"When you left home, where did you go?"
"Ah. Well, I wandered, yes? Town to town, dungeon to dungeon, ruin to ruin. Always something new to see."

"So I come by it honestly, then."
"Ah."
Elle shakes her head.
"Each and every one of you is mad, yes."

You ignore her.
"What do you think of caravans, then?"
"Hmm. It's a matter of finding one to take you. Some people are scared of monsters, yes?"
"If I start from the village it shouldn't be a problem, yes?"
"Well. Hmm, it would probably work."

"What would work?"
"Dear."
"Dad. Working with caravans to travel, yes."
"Too noisy, the wagons bounce a lot. You won't get any reading or writing done in good time."

"Not really a concern."
He shrugs while Mom pokes at him, smiling.
"Where were you planning on going?"
"Through the trade city, out to the elflands, yes."

"The... elflands?"
"Yes."
"They have a name, you know."
"I think 'elflands' is a good name."
"What would you do if people called this spiderforest?"
"I think they do, yes."

He frowns, shakes his head.
"The country is Ellsvier. Ruled by the Eternal Queen-"
"Can Lyra get that?"
"-What?"
"Good morning Nin. I am glad to see your priorities for waking up are straight."
"I know what's important."

Too many people. Blah.
"I thought elves weren't immortal, anyway?"
"It's just a title."
"I see."

Who's the elf queen?

>>37642802

We have been in one place to long.

>>37642802

Failing that, head to the village.

I am interested about elves! And travel! Elf travel!

>>37642802
>Snag something quick, then head to the village. It has to get supplies. Maybe they have a schedule?
Then lets see if those dorfs are still around.

see if we can't palm Nin off on Dad to get him to teach her about the Elven stuff that we will instantly forget. If absolutely necessary, make the point that queens have advisers to keep track of such matters...

Breakfast and Dad time!
Writing!

>>37643126
No encouraging the moth on the queen thing

>>37643168
She might end up having us "accidentally" challenging the Eternal Queen for her throne.

>>37643168
As if it will make a difference.

On the other hand, if we could bluff real good with Nin's help image how impressed Grandma will be with Dad marrying up in the world

>>37642802
>>Keep up with Dad. Find out about elves, maybe.

I do want to talk to take regular trips to cities and shit though.
Meeting new folk is always great.

You snag a seat beside your father at breakfast.
It doesn't really take any effort at all to get him talking about travelling, or history.
Stopping him when you're finished- well, that's different.

"-You just said there were lords everywhere, yes? Why a Queen then?"
"Because the Queen must rule- The most important of all-"
"Hush, Nin."

Your Dad laughs a little, choking on a piece of whatever this is. Mom burnt it pretty badly.
"The general idea is that she serves as a figurehead. Elaborate ceremonies, public things. The people like her, neighbouring countries like her. It helps diplomacy. And technically, the family the queens all come from own the land the castle sits on."
"Castle?"

You can feel the moth vibratin with excitement.
"Mhm. They call it the Seastone Palace."
"It is made of seastone?"
"Well, no."
"The stones came from the sea?"
"No."
"Then-"

"They have a very, very large garden, nearly all water. Filled with fish and such. Plants, all sorts of things."
"You seem to know a lot about the palace, yes."
"I've been a few times. When I was younger."
"They just let people in? Lyra, can we visit?"

He shakes his head.
"They don't really let peope wander the palace, no."
"Oh. What about you, then?"
"I, ah. I knew the queen. When we were children."

Oh, yes. That will stop her from questioning you. Admit to knowing queens.
Nin can't even manage words, squeaking and hopping from foot to foot.
"Not like that- She wasn't a queen when I knew her."
"A Princess!"

He looks at you, eyes pleading.
There's no mercy to be found, here.
"This is your fault, yes."
"Ugh. We played together when we were children. The Queen at the time named her when she died, so she became the new queen. But-"
He says, holding up a hand.
"-that happened after I had left."

>>37644175

"Hmm. Were your families tring to arrange a marriage?"
Dad chokes again. This time without food.
"No. No, not like that- I was considered for a guard, but I refused."
"Not enough ruins in the castle, yes?"

He rubs the back of his head.
"Close enough."
"What was your home like, then?"
"Firescarn?"
"Yes?"

"Warm. All the time. And hotter the closer you went to the stone, of course. No towns- You can't build that close to elemental focal points, but there were plenty of farms around. And a town close enough, I suppose."
"For trouble?"
"You sound like my mother, little one."

"What about bees? Or mermaids?"
"There was a hive that wasn't too far. They're friendly enough, just... busy. All the time, always working. It's how they liked things."
"Your family?"
"My family? My family-"

He rolls his eyes, leaning back.
"My mother's family were the ones who owned the land- and she inherited their need to move up, as well. My father was a merchant- he settled down after he made his fortune, brokering deals and the like- He bought a few of the neighbouring farms, and somehow fell in love with my mother."
You snort.
"Mmm. And my sister- She took after our father. Found work, started a business of her own. I think she'd had contacts with a hive? She married fast, though. Our mother had wanted her to wait, so she could set something up, but she just went off and did whatever she wanted."

>>37644202
He smiles.
"She was the last one I spoke to before I left. I told I was going, and she just started laughing. Said she was going to enjoy how red Mother would turn, and told me to get gone."
"She sounds fun, yes."
"She moved at her own pace. We didn't quite see eye to eye, but we got along."

You reach for another piece of meat, and your hand closes on nothing.
Breakfast is over, apparently.

You sigh.
"I will figure something out, yes. I have a few goals, at least."
"Rulership of all monsters! Queen of the forest and-"

You muffle Nin with one hand, thanking your father and stepping away.
Things to do, things to do-

Damnit, dad.
Stop having connections with queens.
This is like the opposite of what we need right now.

>>37644230
>That's it for tonight!

>>37644286
Thanks for running.

>>37644270
Maybe we shouldn't head for elflands right away. Nin is going to trick us into having to pretend to be a queen.

>>37644286
Will we see elves before thread 100?

Thanks REQM

>>37644230
Never stop giving Nin ammunition.

>>37644318
I'm looking forward to his childhood friend flipping her shit when she finds out he married a spider.

>>37644286
See you thursday!
I sort of hope we get to see spiderfestival, but we might not.

>>37644286
Where does sta magic fall on the rarity scale?

>>37644286
I hope we meet our aunt when we head off to elf land. If we could set up a trade route and get the local spiders and moths to actually contribute to it along with the village it could turn out really well for everyone involved. That and the fact when she sees her niece is a giant spider should be good for a laugh or two.

Also can we get some descriptions and a names of dad's family? Or will we have to wait till next thread? cause if you think we're going to elfland and NOT looking for our extended family then you just don't know us.

>>37644286

>>37644347
Nin is essentially self-loading. She really doesn't need any help.

>>37644431
Star magic, as in actual star magic and not elemental control, is fairly rare.

People have mad it fairy clear where their interest in the elflands lies.

>>37644522
An elf, singular. If you need to be precise. You could argue for 3 more, but that would require addition.

>>37644463
Doesn't one lead to the other? Star magic to control

I've just had an amusing thought.
If Ezzy gets an evolution that comes with a significant size increase, but still insists on coiling around us...
If anyone were to come across us as we wake up wrapped in our friends, they will most likely run as far and as fast as they can...

>>37644286
How would the elves view our father race mixing with spiders? Would they treat us the same as any other half elf?
Also how does Elven society treat half elves?

>>37644572

So, is Sara's star magic elemental or more knowledge based? I imagine since she has been studying a lot, it's more the latter than the former. At the same time, she can actively speak to the element when it is present. Is there a chance she has both?

>>37644797
We'll look if they treat half-elves well we'll be treated well. If they treat half-elves poorly, we'll still be treated well because who the hell wants to piss off a giant magma calling, earth controlling, metal master fucking spider, especially when you specialize in fire magic

>>37644631
Biological math!

>>37644693
In some cases. It's also possible to get control without any magic.

>>37644792
Some sort of horrific spider chimaera?

>>37644797
It mostly depends on social standing- When elves are looking to make connections and marriages between families, they generally want both parties to be elves.
Of course, if there's enough gain to be made, they'll look the other way.
With commoners, it's the same as always. Some marry for love, some marry for money/inheritance/whatever, some are set up by their families.

There's a massive amount of half elves in the coastal city, because it's the primary point of contact with humans.

As for you- Realistically, you're whole arachne, with a few elf features. They'll treat you like an arachne.

You don't even speak elvish.
Yet.

>>37644948
Magic is by and large knowledge based. Cheating is possible when you can contact spirits. She has elemental control- Its much faster, but weaker than actual casting.

>>37645067

Will Lyra take the wedding dress with her on the road? Has mom made any concerted efforts to relieve her children of Elle's lacy panties?

>>37645067

Should we be terrified of Aria now? She apparently gained 13 levels in the time it took her to wake up and throw down the gauntlet...

>>37645067
We need to learn Elven; it's our heritage.

>>37645983
It will hold the secrets of the Elf Venom

>>37646092

Should we openly ask Dad about Elf Venom or take a more subtle approach?

>>37649141
We should put him on the spot and demand venom for some important reason.

>>37649228
Us and Ezzy were comparing how poisonous our Venoms were and we wanted to know how poisonous Dad's Venom was...

We could probably rope Sara into making it an actual study and we get samples from everyone...
