"So in order to track down that bastard who kidnapped Luciana, we'll need to either get the help of either the Archmage or the rabbit?" Adrien asks.
"While I'm sure there's another course of action that we could take, we don't really have the time to consider anything aside from those two options," Arnaud replies.
"Alright," he nods. "So I guess some of us will go fetch her and then we'll all meet up in the Archmage's study..."
"That seems like the best way to avoid wasting time," Marianne replies. "Reinhold?" she turns to you. "What would you like to do?"

Can we propose to Luciana when/if we get her back?

>>38184981
Honestly i'm planning on it provided we don't pass out due to battle wounds.

>>38184981
Seconding this

>>38184981
Yeah. Before we go we should let Marianne know that when this is all over we're going to propose to Luciana.

Not if she beats us to it.

>>38185042
Yeah, and we'll show her a cute picture of Carina and talk about how we'll retire soon.

>>38184981
We could give her a ring made of our bracelet, it feeds on our energy so the only way to keep it alive would be hand holding.

What a pity that takamaru is still recovering from his injuries. He could have taught us how to ignore death flags.

By the way if this ends in a tie, I am switching my vote to Inaba because I really don't want to bother with a tie breaker over this.

>>38185098
Our lewd acts would be keeping a living thing alive?

I like where this is ,going. I wonder though...would that part still be considered part of the whole so far as the universe in concerned? Could we use that for communication or tracking, if need be?

I like how every time Luci's about to be married to someone against her will, the quest immediately leaps forward an entire milestone in terms of the romance route with her.

If she ends up being threatened with marriage before our wedding, we'll likely get her pregnant next.

>>38185150
Then Taka better be damn well immortal. Not invincible, though, as he's currently nursing a large hole in him.

I love Luci!

>>38185165
I don't know why would anybody do that once we come back with Leopold's hide.

Nobody fuck with our waifu. Not even us.

>>38185165
At this point it kinda makes sense for Reinhold. He is so hesitant to form intimate relationships that it takes him almost losing them in order to achknowledge his own felings.

>>38185165
Reinhold is just tsundere. "It.. it's not like I wanted to marry you or anything. I'm just doing it because I don't want you to be married to some horrible noble."

>>38185177
I actually excpected him to die like 200 threads ago. Maybe he is an ascended Deathflag or something

>>38185177
I think he has gone from being the retiring bodyguard who will die to being Worf. "Karel is really awesome, he even out dueled Takamaru!" "The assassins injured Takamaru!" "Leopold is serious business, he just took out Takamaru!"

>>38185211
Well, it's less indicative of the narrative, and more of /tg/'s mindset as being hyper-possessive. Luci might be married off to someone else? We have to go after her even though everything we've established so far says we're not ready for commitment! Luci's about to be married off to someone else again? Marry her! Now!

Hell, if Marie was about to be married off to someone against her will before the routelock, we'd have 'suddenly realized we want to be with her'. Hell, if ANY of the girls was put in that position, pre-routelock, /tg/ would be falling over themselves trying to get with them - even freaking Sylvie.

>>38185281
You're doing god's work, Takamaru. Keep it up, you poor bastard.

>>38185281
"I am not a merry man!"

>>38185267
arch knows that the longer it takes the angrier we'll get when it finally happens.

>>38185291
I disagree. Lucie had already gained a lot of pull storywise prior to the routelock and we've been planning to propose first since she said she'd do it herself.

>>38185281
This is true, though.

>>38185177

After getting 300, he gets to turn them in for a new sword.

>>38185351
>I disagree. Lucie had already gained a lot of pull storywise prior to the routelock
..riiiiiiiight. I must have been in some other quest during that time period because that was never the case, ever. She flirted with us, and literally the only real indicative of a romantic presence with her came about way later when Arch said we'd tripped every single Luci flag.

And in all honesty, I don't really trust Arch to be honest about the reasons for some of the developments in the plot.

>>38185412
Sure. Everything I do is just to spite you.
You specifically.


>writing

>>38185412
As someone who read through the archives, I can say that you guys kinda DID. Whenever she was around, Rein always kinda fell in with her.

>>38185451
But I thought you did everything to spite me specifically!

>>38185351
I feel by the end of this situation, Luci and Reinhold end up both blurting their proposal at the same time to each other. Which leads to laughing, kissing and tease fighting about who said it first.

>>38185468
Then one of them gets run through by the masked man.

>>38185412
>>38185464
As someone else who did the same thing I gotta agree.

>>38185468
That seems sickeningly sweet. Fitting.

>>38185464
Yea, the moment where I gave up on Nico and accepted Luci was during the dance, when we voted to 'get closer.' I wanted Nico to win, but anyone could see the writing on the walls if they looked for it.

>>38185468
That's what I'm hoping for.

>>38185451
That's not what I said, but if you wanna be passive aggressive, it's not like anything I'll say will stop you. I just don't trust you, that's all there is to it. I have my reasons for thinking so, and it's got nothing to do with spite.

>>38185412

Next thing you gonna say is 'Everything is a giant /qtg/ conspiracy'

>>38185468
nah, that's karel and emilio (minus the teasing).
Ours is more likely us proposing, her agreeing, and then her pouting that the massive, convoluted scheme to propose to us won't be happening.

>>38185520
.... are you saying it isn't?

>>38185505
You're so noble.

>>38185520
I've never agreed with the "it was all /qtg/'s doing!" theory for why we wound up with Luci. My reasoning for why we dod is far more simple: /tg/ is immature and easily manipulated emotionally, as well as self-centered and greedy, not wanting anyone else to have 'their woman' even though they weren't that into her before the possibility of losing her.

>>38185543
Not everything is a conspiracy by shady villains.

Sometimes a pack of retards is just a pack of retards.

>>38185520
/qtg/ trolls can't into conspiracies because they'd rather brag about orchestrating imaginary ones. Much less efforts required and you actually receive attention that way.

>>38185505
Holy shit you seem bitter about a story on the internet.

>>38185505
The only time that I pushed anything ahead romance-wise was the Nicolette confession, and that was my last attempt to try and go "hey look at Nicolette she's a girl too stop fucking friendzoning her" because SHE was my pick to win the Reinbowl and I was getting frustrated..

That's it. Nothing else.

And hell, I even regretted doing that immediately afterwards because it went against my set way of doing things.


But whatever, back to

>writing

with me.

>>38185468
That's too happy, we can't possibly propose to her if we somehow don't make the situation worse before hand!

It's like Reinhold's Law - Something bad will happen before I make something good happen.

>>38184919
>have Adrien do it instead. I don't see what the problem is
Adrien has a tendency to forget to bring children along in times of great importance.

Too much negativity in this thread.
What are everyone's hopes for the Elena spinoff?

>>38185505
It sounds like your waifu didn't win.

>>38185689
Yeah, that was fairly a depressing moment for some of us.

>>38185689
I was actually thinking about that earlier, as far as confessions go "I like somebody else more and my best friend is in love with you" isn't exactly smooth.

>>38185717
I'd spin off Elena.

On My Dick.

>>38185746
Well, Arch did say her canon love interest would be straight
You sick bastard

*sniff* would that we could go back and correct our past selves. Truly we would have been blessed with the purest of all maidens, the maiden who sought no other gentlemen than Reinhold! Hark! Hark! We shall never live down this sin.

>>38185744
Admittedly Nicolette is anything but smooth.

>>38185561
I wasn't aware that nobility, sarcastic or otherwise, hinged on the notion of being honest. I'm not going to change Arch's mind if he thinks the reason I don't trust him is because I'm some whiny bitch who is having a tantrum because I can't have my own way. The reason for this is, ironically, that part of the reason I don't trust Arch is due to the fact that he's a perfectionist who is firmly set in his ways and what he thinks something should or should not be like. He outright confesses to this aspect about himself, even. It's why we freaking have a series of long-running jokes about him burning things to the ground because of a minute typing error, for crying out loud. Someone like that isn't going to admit to messing up on something as compromising as potential railroading, overruling decisions or things of that sort. More often than not they'll shift the blame onto their players instead.

I think the funniest thing here is that people are assuming this has anything to do with waifus, and not just the general principle of the questing format itself. The only reason that Luci is the main focus of the topic is because this is a ROMANCE QUEST, therefore naturally the major decisions are going to be related to the romances more than anything else. If this were a FIGHTAN QUEST and the same shit was happening, I'd have the exact same criticisms and distrust.

But hey, why acknowledge shortcomings when you can shift blame and make petty remarks, right?

Honestly, reading through the archives, I really liked how Rein and Luci kinda just got stuck together. Mari was always hot/cold, Sylvie came off (to me) as way too... overwhelmed? By Rein. Nico was bro tier, but well... bro tier, yanno? Plus that thing for Melanie, idk, she seemed kinda half-hearted (again, to me, but I AM possessive). Melanie herself was never really on the radar. Luci though, she has that practicality. She didn't want to get tie the knot with someone she didn't like, and Rein was there. And there, and there again. Plus, I think Rein himself is JUST as practical, seeing how he (much like Luci) seems to have his fingers in every pie, and is constantly manipulating people (with their best interests in mind, of course!) in a way that is veeery similar to Luci. They just... fit. I can't really describe it better then that.

>>38185948
calm down man. We'll get the Light Novel.

>>38185803
I'd like to point out that arch has admitted to large mistakes in FDQ, such as fucking up the entire order of the sidestory. You can make assertions that he's railroading because he desires a "perfect" story, but every time has admitted to doing something wrong or otherwise apologize it weakens your assertion.
Arch is hypercritical of himself and probably makes his writing suffer. In turn the frustration he feels for messing up causing a cycle. It's more-so a character trait rather than perfectionism.

>>38185795
You know, I'm kind of worried that no one's added Future Inaba to that picture. Seems potentially prophetic, you know?

>>38185957
Rana's obviously the best fit.

In her route Rein has 1000 years to get over his fear of hanky panky.
It still might not be enough.

"I'll go get Inaba and meet you guys in the study," you say to them. "Don't bother waiting for me to get there to tell Niklaus what's going on, we don't have any time to waste."
"Got it," Adrien replies. "Arnaud, would you mind taking Karel and the others to somewhere that-"
"I'm coming with you," Karel cuts her father off.
"...me too," Emilio says, tightly clutching her hand. "Luciana's my sister and Leopold was Karel's sword teacher so we both..."
"Alright, I understand," he replies. "C'mon, let's go."

Motioning for his daughter and her boyfriend to follow him, Adrien hurries down the hallway.

Though it would be considerably easier to do. Arch just needs to ctrl+v everything and commission not nearly as much artwork.

>>38185993

>>38186091

>>38186091
Yes, it's why Tina is best girl because she can slowly guide him into it.

Rein has no problems with licky licky bum bum however

>>38186124
>she can slowly guide him into it
Tina a slut.
Rein was fisting her within five minutes of their first encounter and then everyday since.

>>38186114
Well, it could happen within the timeframe of the quest for Melanie and Rana, I guess.

And Cecile and Charlotte's scenes were pretty explicit prior to the fade-to-black. Pure turle my ass.

>>38186150
Melanie's only because of morning meido, which is mostly a comedy thing and she'd probably snap out of it before anything actually happened. Rana's definitely in character for her, which is sort of why I have trouble seeing her route. Y'know when Arch said he doesn't realistically see Rana and Mari becoming more than acquaintances, well I don't see them becoming more than friends. She's too sexually aggressive without any of the tact or grace of Luci, she's pretty much the last kind of girl he needs given his trauma, she'll break the poor bastard.

>>38186150

After finding out what room the others are staying in from Arnaud, Marianne takes the lead while the old butler chases after Adrien. Fortunately, it's not too far away from the room where you just were just in.

"Marianne!" Elena runs to her fellow Princess. "Are Uncle Gregory and Uncle Guillaume gonna go find Luciana now!?"
"And kill dirt man?" Inaba asks.
"No..." Marianne shakes her head. "Not yet, that's why we came here."
"D- did something else happen?" Citrine asks. "I herd guards shouting in the hallway..."

>>38186051
Yeah, Luci being so up front about everything is great, plus no other character I can see luring Rein into lewds as skillfully or as carefully as Luci. She seems to know JUST how far to push it with him, which Rana (may her VN route be great) I don't see able to maintain, and the other characters (Except maybe Melanie) taking aaaages or forever swearing off the lewds.

Arch, honestly though, it speaks VOLUMES about your character creation and writefag skill that the waifu wars even HAPPENED. That people cared that much over sooo many different characters... As rough as it was, you should be really proud.

Mention that they're heading out to try and keep the situation from getting any worse, but don't get into all of it right now. We only know the bare minimum about what's going on with the diversion/invasion/whatever/etc. so it's best to keep focused on the task we've set out for ourselves.

You don't hide things from Citrine. That's always been the case.

But right now, time is of the utmost importance and you really don't want to upset her with word of what's going on outside... she's been put into life-and-death situations twice in the past four days and more stress is the last thing that someone in her condition should have to deal with right now.

"Sir Gregory and the King are trying to keep the situation from getting any worse," you say as you help Agnes into the room. "but for now I just wanted to ask for Inaba's help since she might be able to to find where Leopold went with Luciana."
"I help!" Inaba shouts. "We go now?"

"...yeah," you nod. "Grandma, would you mind staying here with the others?"
"It's fine," Agnes replies. "It's probably better for my heart if I get some rest, anyhow."
"Thanks," you sigh. "I'll be back as soon as I can."

Just as you turn back towards the door, you feel something tugging on your shirt.

"...I wanna come too," Elena says.

Elena dear, you're the only one left to protect Agnes and Citrine. I am sorry, but please stay here. I will be back as soon as I can.

>>38186857
You heard what that asshole said, and you know who they're after.

I know why you want to go, but there's no way it would be right to bring you right into the middle of their hideout just because you wanted to get them back for what they did in person.

And we're going to do our best to say the same to Emilio, too. There's a time and a place for taking matters into one's own hands, but this isn't it.

Elena's vn needs to be all yuri for shits and giggles except for when she gets magically sent to Reinhold 's forever alone route.

>>38187071
Arch has apparently said Elena will be straight (Vincent's daughters gettin' shot down all over).
I'm guessing it's Masaharu because that argument they had before the duel was too adorable.

>>38187104
Then it needs to be Elena causing nothing but Yuri misunderstandings with all the other girls.

>>38187115
While being completely oblivious to it all. She builds a girl harem accidentally then goes off with her husbando leaving everyone to stew.

>>38187115
Either that or she'll attract all the girls and boys to her yard. Even if she isn't really aware of it.

>>38186857
I feel we should bring her so she gets exp. But there is no exp. So whatevs.

>>38187104
>Arch has apparently said Elena will be straight

From the ask.fm:

>What are the odds on Elena being destined for /u/hood?

>Assuming that a game ever gets made, it'd likely be a 50/50 split between male and female love interests.
>But I'll just say right now that her "true route" is a straight one.

>>38187170
Well, it's not enough age for it to be Reinhold Junior or the Reinspawn himself...

I paid them back. I chose Luciana. She was not my first choice. That will always be Nico. But I took Sylvie from them. I have my solace.

>>38187205
I don't really know what purpose taking her will serve but I assume you've got something lined up so sure.

Reinhold: Sword to the gut. Spiked for our pleasure.
Luciana: "I have no mount and I must scream" armor cage, release date: never.
Inaba: Caerbannog timez
Thierre: Boring Execution via gullotine.
Elena: Contract rip. Need powers over earth and fire for her title. 1/2 achieved

>>38187205

"I need you to look after my sister and grandma, okay?" you say, kneeling down so that you're eye-level with Elena.
"But..." Elena lowers her head such that her bangs cover her eyes.
"I'll get her back," you say. "I promise."
"It'll be okay," Reya says, placing his hand on the little Princess's head and rustling her hair. "C'mon, let's keep Valerie and Racquel and the others company while we wait for Reinhold to come back with your sister."
"...'kay..."

Elena takes Reya's hand as they go further into the room.

"I save Luciana," Inaba says. "Promise."

Oh.

Might as well, then. Emilio's going to be there as well, and it's going to be more palatable to her to see that it's not just her we're going to be giving the "holy shit, why do you want there to be three potential hostages there instead of just the one we're trying to rescue" speech to.

What about impaled on top of the wedding cake before Luciana cuts it?

>>38187415
For that matter, we could probably use the alternate stone body spell on him, then shatter the motherfucker.

>>38187361
Or even better stab him then make little blades and blender him

>>38187439
You mean like that guy who got killed by that plant in the Goblins webcomic?

>>38187439
We could have Andreas help with his starry line spells while Luciana holds him in place with Iron Grip?

>>38187452
What? I meant like a chainsword or harlequins kiss which is a large needle that injects a coil of monowire which flails around inside the target

>>38187439
Why not stab him and allow the sword to suffuse into his blood stream, tearing him apart at a cellular level?

>>38187476
because that would probably make the sword cease to exist.

>>38187476
We could try crucifixion, or whatever the symbol is for a religious martyr in PGQland.

Or we could just stab him and not go full edgemaster

After giving Citrine and Agnes a a goodbye hug, you, Marianne and Inaba hurry out of the room and make a beeline for Niklaus's study. You see the door open when you get there, and waste no time hurrying inside.

"Reinmeister!" Niklaus calls out as you and your associates reach the center of the room. "The Prince told me all about what happened to your lady love and Sir Vincent."
"As well as the current situation outside the castle," Arnaud says.

Great, that saves time.

"So do you think you can help?" Marianne asks.
"If not, we have Inaba here..." you say, resting a hand on the bunnygirl's shoulder.
"Hm," he nods. "Makes sense, a rabbit's sense of smell is far superior to that of a normal human's... though that does bring the issue of redundancies."
"What do you mean?" Karel asks. "Wouldn't it be better to have more people with you?"


>[2/?]

>>38187500
Well look who's not fun.

>>38187488
And considering that the sword is showing signs of sentience that would be cruel.
>>38187500
How utterly boring and practical. Nevertheless I agree.

"More people coming along means more people to worry about," Adrien says, shaking his head. "You have safety in numbers, yeah, but it's harder to maneuver around in a group."
"...and he can do area-of-effect stuff without even needing to cast..." Emilio mumbles.
"Exactly," he replies. "I've done stuff like this before and the best route is to have a small group to run in, kill the target, and retrieve the hostage."
"So that leaves the question of who to bring," Niklaus says. "This is Reinhart's girlfriend we're talking about here so clearly he'll be going... and I suppose it'll take either myself or the rabbit girl there to guide him to the target, yes?"
"...makes sense," you nod.

>>38187800
Are we just gonna hold her or something?

I have a feeling we'll need Nik here to help fend off the unending hordes. Maybe he can stow away in one of the empty vessels when they decide to swap it out? Reverse their Trojan horse tactic and start wrecking their shit in person? He's smart enough to figure out what they're doing quick enough after all.

>>38187842
More likely than you think.

>>38187830
She could just run along. In fact, we probably could have had her do so earlier, since Leopold wouldn't be able to know it wasn't just another rabbit.

>>38187800

I wasn't going to let you have it both ways this time around, but that actually makes sense.

I'm a genius. Also forgot to link back to the actual post.

>>38187739
Rabbit-mode seems like it solves the maneuverability issue, so propose that first and foremost.

>>38187900
So we are taking the rabbit?

>>38187900
More than anything else I just want Niklaus to help free Vincent and then they become true friends and go fishing together at the lake with mutating lures baited with bears.

>>38187900
Thank you. Rein isn't always a fool. I think now that his button is pushed and his back is against the wall, he start pulling a Dresden and becomes more clever bad ass.
>>38187911
I hope so.

So not to be that powergaming guy but why havent we got the girl that can transform into a dragon down mopping up the mercs?


she could be finished in a matter of mins

>>38187938
Rana is likely helping to fight off the mercs that is invading the castle now.

>>38187938
I don't think a young dragon is quite that powerful or invulnerable. Sure she could take out a few easily, but I imagine she could get swarmed enough to at least be threatened.

>>38187962
God damn the guards are fucking useless

>>38187938
I suspect archelon doesn't want us to have a dragon flying us around or participating in the final fight.

>>38187984
More likely they are not seasoned and the Mercs are way more stronger and/or magically skilled than them. The guards are just normal guys. The better troops are out in the field as the real army.

>>38187938
Rana is strong, but in dragon terms she is so young that she needs to be babysat by her younger brother.
Also isn't Rana most likely still at the Migault residence?

>>38187822
PGQ is little piece of a bigger world. The main story is much bigger, apparently.

>>38187991
Presumably they'll be hiding out somewhere slightly more constrained than an open field somewhere where she could otherwise transform with impunity.

Honestly, if they're hiding out in a cave system or something, I honestly don't have a clue how we're going to pull this off successfully, since we'll be in an enclosed space surrounded completely by rock for him to manipulate/attack us with on all sides.

Mostly just hoping they're hiding out in a building, or sewers, or a forest, or literally anything else but an easily-manipulated labyrinthine deathtrap.

>>38187822
I think all of the other stuff is just turtle dreams at the moment.

>>38187822
You missed it? He runs it on his alt account.

>>38188002
Mercs have numbers.

They substituted the salamander corpses for a shipment of mercs, and then keep substituting the empty vessels for full vessels of more mercs.

>>38187822
Just imagine it like this is a campaign we're playing that takes place at a specific point chronologically in a wider setting.

Actually...

"Inaba?" you turn to the bunny. "I think it'll be better to have Niklaus guide us in the open, but if you could turn back into your rabbit form then I'd be able to carry you with me that way."
"...oh!" Emilio snaps his fingers. "Leopold doesn't know about Inaba, so she'd be able to surprise him!"
"Exactly," you reply.
"I do that," Inaba replies. "We save Luciana."

"...so I guess I'll be coming along after all," Niklaus sighs. "It's been a long while since I've been in a real fight, but I guess I'll have to get myself back into fighting form," he says, taking off his glasses and sighing deeply.
"Alright," you nod. "So that's me, Inaba, Niklaus..."

You turn to Karel.

"I'm staying behind," Karel shakes her head. "I'm not about to leave Emilio alone at a time like this, and..." she she takes a deep breath, "...you guy's are going out there to fight Leopold and I'd probably wend up fucking everything up for everyone," she mumbles.

Though it's a disappointment, you definitely understand how Karel feels about facing Leopold in a life-or-death fight.

Especially since you have every intent of stabbing him in his stupid fucking face.

"It's alright," you say to your friend, "I get it."
"Thanks," Karel replies.
"So that's that, eh..." Arnaud says, pacing back and forth. "Niklaus, I expect you to keep Reinhold safe while you're out there, do you understand?"
"...you're not coming with us?"

You were sure that he'd...

"With Sir Vincent captured and both Sir Gregory and the King out fighting those mercenaries, it wouldn't be wise for me to leave the castle open to attack. Standard protocol is for at least two of the four of us to be in the area at all times, but right now it's only me and Prince Raoul here... as much as I'd love to go with you to save my goddaughter, I'm unable to do so."

If Gerhard or Nicollette are seen on our way out though and available I'm not opposed. At this point though we're wasting too much time.

And grab scrolls before we go, at least a scroll of boost.

Given that we didn't use them since the last time we picked some up we should still have them.

Sounds like the Karel route. On the celibate route it's Reinhold that gets kidnapped.

I see that, it's just that I wasn't one of the people complaining way back when about how Rein's underpowered, I quite enjoy seeing Greg wrecking people's shit. Rein should be the primary badass in the final mission of his story but I dunno, feels odd not having a lot of the main characters even show up to the climax.

Is there a scroll of flight that we won't fuck up due to inexperience? Being above ground would help against Sir Asshole, but if we're just going to crash around it's not going to help.

Seconding grabbing scrolls and asking any capable fighter we might bump into on our way out.
