>Ask what kind of bath they want. A bunch of small ones? a pool?
>Other (?)
Instead of them clearing out part of the building for us to change into a bath, it would probably be much easier to just build an extension on the outside. Any clear spaces next to the building we could use?

>>38218861
> Names
> What kind of bath they want

Finally caught up through the archive and am ready for ultimate spiderbutt adventures

>>38218825
>>Ask what kind of bath they want. A bunch of small ones? a pool?


>"Her sister was saying she built some sort of waterfall-bath-pool thing next to their tree."

>He glances over his shoulder at you.
>You smile and wave.

>"Yeah, I can believe that."

We have the best reputation ever.

Shit Nin is near evolving again. She'd better get even fluffier

>>38218825
>>Break into the conversation. Names would be a start.
>>Ask what kind of bath they want. A bunch of small ones? a pool?
never shall we showers.

>>38218825
>Break into the conversation. Names would be a start.
>Ask what kind of bath they want. A bunch of small ones? a pool?
>Other?
Also you two are married yes?

>>38218825
>>Ask what kind of bath they want. A bunch of small ones? a pool?
>>Would showers work? Like a stone and an enchantment in a pipe or something? You really weren't a plumber.

Names and baths!
Writing!

So, at what point do we have to give the disclaimer that we are not responsible for crushed houses and/or flooded rooms?

"Have you thought about what kind of bath you want? And what your name is?"
"Maybe something like a- what?"

"I do not know your name, yes."
"You have a very strange way of asking."
"I was hoping you wouldn't notice."

Theresa watches with a permanent smirk as the officer shakes his head, sighing.
"It's Edmund."
"Edmund. Thank you, nice to meet you."
"Likewise."

"I am Lyra."
"And I am fairly certain that everyone in the town knows that already. I wouldn't be remotely surprised if every arachne who visits for the next decade finds themselves being called your name."
Nin cheers silently behind you, and you purse your lips.

"I don't- No. Nevermind, yes? The bath?"
"A bucket, usually."
"What about towns? Or cities, rather. What do they have?"
"Bigger buckets."
"How does that even work?"

"You have huge amounts of water boiling. And huge amounts of water not boiling. And you mix them in a bucket large enough-"
"Tubs, Edmund. They're called tubs."
"Thank you. They're mixed to the customer's preference. And when people aren't using them, laundry is."
"Huh."

"And yours? The waterfall bit?"
"Stone, yes."
"That sort of thing would get cold in winter. And stay cold."
"The mine is opened proper now, isn't it? Embed a few fire stones in the walls."
"Maybe."

"Or there might be a hot spring somewhere nearby that we could tap. You wouldn't have to worry about water, either. But you still haven't said what you want for your baths."
"Ah. Maybe something like two large pools? There'll be a lot of people wanting to use it at the same time, what with the workers keeping hours."

>That's doable. Get them to pick a location and get started.
>A bit of magic and you could try to find a spring. You might even get lucky?
>Make a bath suggestion of your own. (What?)
>Other (?)

>>38219606
>>A bit of magic and you could try to find a spring. You might even get lucky?

We always end up getting lucky anyway

>>38219606
>>A bit of magic and you could try to find a spring. You might even get lucky?

If Lyras's going to create the baths from scratch with magic, couldn't she include a vaccuum layer in the walls that functions as really damn good thermal insulation?

>>38219606
>That's doable. Get them to pick a location and get started.
>Make a bath suggestion of your own. (What?)
Don't actually make this a suggestion, instead just do it.

Attempt to add a web motif to the thing. Or spikes/lips on the edges to build webs on.
Secret spider plans.

>>38219606
>A bit of magic and you could try to find a spring. You might even get lucky?
I assume we're still wearing that amulet. If we happen to find a spring we can use that. If not~
>Get them to pick a location and get started.

>>38219687
That's probably a lot of work. And we've got a house to build after this.

>>38219606
>A bit of magic and you could try to find a spring. You might even get lucky?

A quick Geological survey of the area, see if there is anything interesting knocking around under town, then we can create the two pools, perhaps a third smaller pool which holds hotter water which can be added to the larger pools as necessary... perhaps we could encourage the creation of a small magma chamber below the smaller pool to naturally heat the water...

>>38219606
>That's doable. Get them to pick a location and get started.
>A bit of magic and you could try to find a spring. You might even get lucky?
>Other?
Accusations of flirtation between the two

>>38219767
I can second accusations of flirtation.
Bonus points for insinuating they have a "thing" or are married.

>>38219742
It's really not, though.
We're creating the walls as a single large block with magic.
including what essentially amounts to a bubble in the outside walls is not overly complicating things.

>>38219758
hell, why not introduce them to utilizing geothermal energy for things. like a geothermal-powered grinding mill or something.

>>38219606
>A bit of magic and you could try to find a spring. You might even get lucky?

>>38219606
>>A bit of magic and you could try to find a spring. You might even get lucky?

Magic and insinuations!

Writing!

>>38219687
How does that work exactly? Just empty space in the walls to prevent heat transfer?

>>38219891
A sealed cavity between two layers of wall make an excellent heat insulator.

>>38219797
Well, good thing Lyra was an architect or an engineer in her past life.

>>38219918
we were an IT professional.

>>38219915

The concept is based on for thermal energy to be transferred, it must not only heat the first wall, but then the air between the two walls then the outer wall. This significantly slows the rate at which heat is lost.

>>38219891
More or less?
Would probably have to makes some adjustments to keep the thing not fall apart and repair work would probably be very annoying at best, but given that we're making the whole thing with magic it's probably not optimized for non-magical maintenance anyways.

>>38219918
Right, totally forgot about that extremely arbitraty rule that makes us completely incapable of including som cavities in the wall because we have no architecture skills, but allows us to build normal houses with ease.

>>38219918
If that's so, Lyra would make the best dungeons.

>>38219946
I like to think that Lyra learned about the insulation qualities of air from JoJo.

>>38220012
I like to think she learned about this stuff during the months she spent rebuilding the ruins.

>>38219918
If we were an engineer, we would've been cheesing our way through with modern tech sooner. We haven't even made blackpowder yet.

>>38220034
>during the months
The few days, if that.

>>38219949
Is there a reason you are explaining this to me? That's just a more wordy version of what I already said.

>>38219984
My point is that I think it's incredibly unlikely for Lyra to know about a very specific insulation technique for buildings, especially one that requires a lot of technical expertise. It's neat and all, but it's stretching the imagination: if she actually worked in the creation of, say, computer mainframes then I would concede the point and would believe that she would actually have, at minimum, passing knowledge of how vacuum insulation works.

>>38220156
Anon, that's how thermal mugs work. And thermoses.
It's not exactly uncommon knowledge, I knew it since I was a small child. In fact, I was unaware people DIDN'T know it.

I just said it sounds like a bit of work, and I'm lazy.

>>38220156
Maybe modern/future server rooms took advantage of vacuum insulation?

At the least, they'd have something too keep them cool.

>>38220173
>>38220180
>>38220156
I thought everyone knew about thermoses. Especially wage slaves.

>>38220156
It's not complicated.
It requires either high school level physics and a bit of experimentation or just seeing it being used in all the goddamn ruins she's been rebuilding.

She spent an entire timeskip on that stuff.

>>38220195
99% of people will know about cavity insulation. It's a safe bet that Lyra will know about it.

A few people seem to be conflating cavity insulation with vacuum insulation, which is something few will ever encounter, but many will be vaguely aware of. But since it's not something within our means, it's a bit moot anyway.

>>38220156
It really doesn't take a lot of expertise to know that air bubbles are insulating. And when you have complete control over stone, it isn't difficult to apply that knowledge either.

It's not like we are trying to manipulate every single air bubble to obtain the most optimal heat retention possible.

You start rifling through your packs. You should have that crystal somewhere.
"Do you need something?"
"Magic, yes."
"I thought you could do magic?"
"Different sorts of magic. Earth and stone are one thing, and the rest is..."

You wave a hand loosely.
"Not my specialty, yes?"
"I see."

Ah. Here you are.
You pull out your little spell stone, humming warmly with mana in your hand.
You start pulling it out, letting it flow into the spell you're trying to work, reaching out into the earth.

You keep yourself amused, though.
"Are you married?"

"Hah? No, no, I'm- You're a little young to be asking."
"Ah. I meant to Theresa, yes?"

If only they'd been drinking. A spit-take would have been a lovely contribution to the whole scene.
As it is, they both choke, stumbling over words as they try to deny it all at once.
"No."
"No!"
"Absolutely not."
"No."

You raise one hand in submission to the blushing not-couple, the other involved in your spellwork.
"My apologies, yes."
The merchant sputters as she tries to pull herself back together.
"Why would you even think that?"

"You argue like an old couple, yes."

You ignore the distraught denials from both of them, and send your magic forth, blossoming into a spell in your eyes.

>Gimme 2d100 for magic and luck, please!

>>38220267
and if worst comes to worst there is always rockwool

>>38220252
Okay, that makes more sense than using vacuum insulation, and more plausible for Lyra to have figured it out by looking at architecture: apparently it was developed by the Greeks and expanded by the Romans.

we suck

So, suggestions/predictions for possible monster races we could come across:

Stuff we might run into that's been mentioned:
> The Naga - I thought we might come across them in the desert. They've already been mentioned, but I figured I'd throw them in. (Requesting sexy mysterious arab naga for Lyra's first male crush. Get that Nin jealousy going. We'll return to her anyway.)
> Merpeople - Already been mentioned. Won't be able to collect one, unless we tug around a giant fishbowl.
> Minotaurs - Also mentioned. Cute, simple-minded cow girls inevitable.
> Centaurs - We've run into one. Another butt for our growing group of friends would be neat.

Feel free to tell me of more if I missed them, I read through the pastebin but it was a cursory glance.

Suggestions next post

>>38220712
our first rolls were better, thankfully.

>>38220613
suggest they should maybe try the marriage thing. It might fit them.

>>38220739
Suggestions for the future:
> Contruct(s) - Figured we might run across one in some wizard's dungeon or something. Super strong, no need for eating or sleeping, the usual stuff. Dunno how they would evolve, but maybe they could get elemental aptitudes or something. And I'm takling about actual sapient constructs, not the golems we ran into before.
> Mouse-people - That or the next one.
> Mantis-people - Figured there had to be some plains somewhere. I'd think either mouse or mantis dudes and dudettes would live in areas with really high grasses, enough to hide them standing up. I figure they would be really short. And adorable. Requesting ninja mantises with bladed forearms.
> Lizard-people - Self-explanatory, probably living in swamps or jungles. If jungles, requesting amazonian lizard-women.
> Oomukade - People with human torsos and up, probably antennae, venom, shit like that. The rest of their body is like a centipede, the ones that live in the rainforest. Not the ones with teeny feetses, the ones that eat taratulae for breakfast. I'd think they wouldn't see very well, look around by touch.
> Kraken - Top half human, lower half tentacles. I'd think they would've preyed on mermaids back in the day (And might still).
> Dryads - Self explanatory. Maybe not the attached to home tree kind. Or maybe so. It'd be funny to see Lyra carrying around a little sapling in a pot.
> Yeti - Lives in the mountains. Lots of furry bits, warm, tall. Loves hugs.
> Bear-people - Lives in piney woods and shit. Option of having them obsess over honey left up to QM.
> Manticore - Wings, spiky tail, claws. It's up to the QM to really include these, I'd be fine with them being an evil lion with a human face like they are now. But spiky cuddles would be interesting.

>>38220739
goddamnit stop making me chortle about lyra crushing on some snake guy pissing off both nin and esmerelda. It's too good and it might never happen.

The rest of it is mostly OK. though assuming the cow girls are simple minded is raaaacist.

>>38220739
There's also Selkies, that we could have met at the river on a random encounter.

>>38220766
>Lizard-people - Self-explanatory, probably living in swamps or jungles. If jungles, requesting amazonian lizard-women.
How would they be different from the Lizards we've already met?

>>38220847
Well, hopefully other pockets of lizards haven't descended into fallout style raiderism.

>>38220847
Not suicidally stupid.

>>38220816
How do selkies even work?
They wouldnt be were beasts or whatever, they take the skin off right?
Are they humans or monsters?

>>38220816
Oh, wasn't aware of that one, I'll add it to my list.

>>38220801
Just absent-minded. I'd imagine if Lyra ever met one and became friends she'd just wanna put flowers in her hair. All the time.

>>38220847
I am stupid and forgot, that is how. But
>>38220865
>>38220868
Have a point. We could go with island geckos or something. Minature amazons would be even more entertaining.

>>38220987
>lyra putting flowers in someone's hair making all her friends jealous

This is just too good.

>>38220766
Personally, I'll make suggestion for actual monsters we can fight rather than monster folk, but I'll wait on those suggestions until we're in a new area, like plains, mountains, desert, tropical jungle, ect...

I think I've already made a few throughout this quest.

>>38220987
>>38221004
I'd figured the minotaur would be the one putting it in Lyra's hair, but after some begging Lyra would probably return the favor. Thus making her friends jealous then.
>>38221086
I could do that too, if the QM would like. Plenty of options. I dunno if I could get the feel right for his monsters, though.

Maybe dwarf cities.

Some unearthly Ys style bosses might be nice, too. That hydra sort of fits in that category, though.

>Bump action Bump action Bump Action!

>>38221275
What are dwarf cities like anyways?
If they're like the typical fantasy dwarves, they'll have some cave cities (and a possibility of cave monsters).
I'm hoping they have at least one coastal city though.

>>38221361
Probably like caves.
With underground rivers for the ports.

You whisper, and the earth whispers back-
Stone and fire and dirt sing as you open your ears.

There is water below, swirling through the stone, hissing with a heat born far below.
Curving its course to your will won't be easy, but it is doable.

You yank yourself out of the spell before you drift off listening to lullabies from molten stone. It feels warm and welcoming, but you've got a schedule to keep.

You nod to yourself, and interrupt the two from their blushing reveries.
"There is a spring, yes. So you can work your plans around that."
"Oh, well, that will be nice-"
"Yeah, we can- Oh, sorry."
"It's fine, go ahead-"
"No, ladies first-"

You cough into your hand as Nin giggles.
Did they just... not realize? And now they're thinking about it?
"Have you picked a location? Is there anything special you'd like?"
"Oh, uh-"
"Um-"

Cough. Cough.
"If we have a spring, then... Maybe something beneath the guild?"
"Beneath?"
"It would keep the whole building warm. And the second floor wouldn't work anyway- adventurers are always sleeping at odd hours, they don't need a parade of people tramping down the halls."
"Mhm."

"What about the training hall?
"It's actually kind of behind the guild. The stairs go a good distance back."
"Should I start from there, then? Or do you want to make a separate set of stairs for it?"
"Either should work."

>Extra stairs or no?
>You can do all sorts of things with stone. Maybe some decorations are in order? Like spider fountains supplying the water.
>It's for the guild. Work their emblem in?
>The whole town will use it. Maybe an oak tree as a recurring theme.

>>38221395
>>Extra stairs or no?
Yes. And an underground link to the training room as well, in case somebody wants to shower after their workout.

>You can do all sorts of things with stone. Maybe some decorations are in order? Like spider fountains supplying the water.
Yes. Try to include harpy, arachne, moth, lamia, centaur, human, and elf statues.

>>Other (?)
Make it at least arachne sized.

>>38221395
>>Extra stairs or no?
>>It's for the guild. Work their emblem in?

Spiders in trees! It's brilliant

>>Extra stairs or no? Yes

>The whole town will use it. Maybe an oak tree as a recurring theme.

>>38221395
There have to be statues of giant bear corpses with statues of victorious arachne standing on top of them!
And statues of Hydra corpses with statues of victorious arachne standing on top of them!
And statues of destroyed giant golems with statues of victorious arachne standing on top of them!
And statues of destroyed giant sceletons with statues of victorious arachne standing on top of them!
And statues of humiliated half gem lord arachne with statues of victorious grave arachne standing on top of them!

>>38221395
>You can do all sorts of things with stone. Maybe some decorations are in order? Like spider fountains supplying the water.
>Extra stairs

>>38221395
Maybe a small room where adventurer can change between the training room and the bath in addition to a normal entrance?
Dorf fort engraving is a must

>>38221395
>Extra stairs and connection to training hall
Having a passageway connecting to the training hall sounds good, people can work up a sweat training then go cool down. But we don't want to turn the training hall into a traffic route for everyone passing through that wants to use the baths.

>You can do all sorts of things with stone. Maybe some decorations are in order? Like spider fountains supplying the water.
Spider theme decorations are a go. And Wolves. And Harpies. And Moths. And Snakes.

YES! Our friends will be immortalized forever in our art!

>>38221527
>And statues of humiliated half gem lord arachne with statues of victorious grave arachne standing on top of them!

We shouldn't bully our sister.

>>38221527
No lyra, no.

Don't forget a relief of wizards cowering in fear and being slaughtered for their stupid pride and egos...

>>38221550

Yes, I assume that would be a given, but seconding just in case.

>>38221395
as far as the oak motif goes: stone oak pillars?

>>38221395
>Extra stairs
>You can do all sorts of things with stone. Maybe some decorations are in order? Like spider fountains supplying the water.
>The whole town will use it. Maybe an oak tree as a recurring theme.

>>38221430
This is the town bath, Anon. Not Elle's home.

Besides, it's already going to be huge to accomidate all the villagers.

>>38221605
Support columns that look like petrified trees? I like it. With stone branches that merge into the ceiling!

>>38221584
And the statues of Lyra standing victorious upon the defeated for of her mother.
We'll just have to run away from home before mom's next visit to the town.

>>38221630
>implying it's not elle's bath that we are being so kind as to share
Gotta be big enough for elle.

Alright, I'll sort out these suggestions!

Vote closed!

>>38221605
With the top looking like branches and leaf motif on the sealing. We can also have branches to hang clothes on. Maybe build a locker room of sorts? Elle will supply towels later.

Looks like a staircase of its own is a go, and that we want all the pillars to be trees, spreading across the roof.
The guild symbol can be displayed, and monsters will be hidden everywhere.
Add some wings around the guild symbol for harpies.
Something like a trim with glyph-like representations of forest monsters?
And a change room.

And the bath's underwater tiling covered in a web pattern. For easy grip.
Is this okay?

>>38221830
Sounds good.

>>38221830
Monsters hidden in a scary way or just as graphic depictions? if the latter I'm fine with it

>>38221830
sounds good.
Extra entrance from the training grounds soundeed good too

>>38221830
Sounds good to me.

Will it have a direct connection to the training hall as well?

>>38221830
Sounds good. Can we clarify for a second entrance to the training hall?

>>38221830
Not enough webs.
I guess we can add those later.

>>38221897
> graphic depictions

It's our job to be the Gary Oak to her Ash. We have the entourage and everything!

Suggestanon here

Enemy monsters suggestions:

> 'Groar the Terrible' - a great spirit bear who's heard of our exploits defeating his comrades. Twice the size of the bear in the circle. Has two heads, bears for hands, bears for feet, and his tongue has teeth. Requests calmly that we stop killing his 'widdle bitty babies, yes you are, yes you are...'.
> Goblins that are actually frogs. Elastic tongue, jumpy, all of it. Evolve into salamander/frog trolls. Other option is to make goblins appear to be tadpole-like and trolls like toads or frogs or something.
> Distasteful tree mates that look like trees from a distance but once you get close they smack you with ilmby arms. Evolutions make their bark thicker andmake
em look like different types of trees.
> Lil' boar dudes. Short, but hardy. Evolve into piggy ogres.
> Vampy bat-people. Don't burn straight up in light, but eyes are super sensitive to light and ears really sensitive to sound. Allergy to garlic optional. Implementing lisp mandatory.
> Fairies. Bad, bad fairies.

I've always thought that fey should be some of the badest of the bad. Ancient magic, all of them being from a place no person from ours can understand. Being kidnapped by fairy queen is optional. Smacking queen once met because of her snark and insults to friends mandatory.

Man I haven't been keeping up with this, but I think it's about time we fought a high level opponent and got our shit caved in, we've been pawning everything in sight for FAAAAAAAAR too long.

Summon the skellies.

>>38222436

Not only that, but first and last positions as well.

In some mirror universe the players of ReHuman Quest Ex just had an excellently bad score to use their icemaking technology in making a perma-cool oasis in the middle of Sandsquare.

>>38222496
Well, we're still in the starting village.
And we haven't been ballsy enough to go out on a new moon.

>>38222496
skellies are one of the first things we totally wrecked though.

>>38222436
6 eyes, 8 legs. Our dice are now spiders.

>>38222578
Everything that lives through magic, we can take out without any problem, yes.

To start, of course-
You replace the dirt beneath the guild with stone, severing the logs pounded through the earth below. Your acquaintances watch, side by side as a wide rectangle pushes through the floor and molds itself against a wall.

And then the insides simple flow away, and a staircase begins to from, spiraling down and into the area below.

The lone adventurer in the bar sets his fork down, and takes a long drink.
You follow your new steps into the heart of your latest act of architecture.

The area before the stairs is left wide- and the wall next to them punches backwards, breaching the training grounds right next to it's own staircase, allowing the adventures an easy passage to the latest of the guild's facilities.

The room's blank wall opens into a pair of doorways, stone shifting and moving, leaving behind a set of long benches and some open faced lockers. And past that, massive rooms open, with deepening pools- yet empty, but not for long.

You focus again on the water below- not that it will answer you, but you keep it's position in mind.
And the earth shifts for you, forcing a new path for it to diverge through, channelling it up through the stone- and through a series of plain spigots, spewing steaming water into the waiting pool.
Simple grates will keep it moving.
Though they'll likely need to be cleaned.

Not your problem though.

You could leave it like this. Blank, already filling with steam and warmth. It's all they need, really.
But your imagination is already running wild. Designs and etching and-
It isn't carving or drawing. The stone will make what you see in your mind. So as long as you can see it...

>>38222975
A gesture sets pillars forming- then spreading. Rough stone bark ripples cross their surface and branches spread over the ceiling, stone leaves set above. Seats form across the lip in the pool, tiles raise from the ground.
You even add a bit of your own twist to them, a raised etching of a web running throughout the pool.

How long will it take them to discover that, you wonder?

Between the trees, plain tiles for the walls, and the edges shift, forming a new pattern- one with each monster of the forest, one after another, repeating as it wraps around the hall.
The guild symbol emblazons itself on a wall as wings spread around it.
Spigots take a life of their own, each the head of a forest beast, water running through stone jaws into the pool.

It takes you longer than you'd think, and you stagger from the baths an hour later, head pounding with rebellion.
You could have stopped, but it was just fun-
hiding little spider patterns in the trees, decorating the door frames-

You blink against the suns glare as you come up from below.
They'll need lights, too.

We should probably get into the habit of lighting ourselves up whenever we can expect to have to face the sun reasonably soonish.

>>38223333
She'll probably have flashbacks to us being drunk and cramping her legs.

>>38223406
Aww...

>>38223404
We /have/ been doing a decent amount of magic lately... If we get a generic Lord variant, I hope we turn it down.

We need to be a better spiderbutt, preferably one with more seats. And cupholders.

>>38223404
>>38223748
don't worry, we've been doing some magic rebuilding, but we've been doing MUCH MORE being huge and strong.

>>38223748
>>38223779
Nothing to worry about on that front, I think.
Weve killed the turbobear and the hydra since evolution

>>38223748
>If we get a generic Lord variant, I hope we turn it down.


I have to agree. Lord a shit.

>>38223839
What kind of evolution would be better for us? Obviously Lord a shit, but what other options are there for us now?

>>38223939
The evolution for a skullantula?

Golden skullantula. volcano-living variant.

>>38224003
I'm kind of interested in an evolution that'll make us as huge as the old spider guy we met in the ruins. Imagine it, man, just imagine it.

>>38224003
>>38223939
Though I do worry about green-flavor elf adventurers. They're our secret weakness.

>>38224060
Bah, fuck that. I never wanted to be that big.

>>38224060
i imagine it to be very impractical

>>38224080
They'll be quick to realize our weakness to ear rubs. We must be wary of them, yes.

>>38223939
>but what other options are there for us now?
I have no idea, to be honest. I think REQM hasn't disclosed any 4th tier evolutions for us yet.

>>38224060
That would be highly impractical. I'm not really interested in that.

>>38224143
Either that, or they will use one of the huge array of magic items they've collected to foil us in some way.

Like, a boomerang or some shit. Or a grapple gun.

>>38224080
I kind of want to get Lyra a pet, something she can legitimately tame and such for a pet. Not like her friends, but a real pet.

Could be a wild animal, or even something like a puppy. But I think it'd be cute... Maybe we could try our hand at taming a lesser Monster? Like one of those wolves that spit lightning.

>>38224190
Obviously we should tame one of those normal giant spiders.
You know, the ones about as big as a dog that adventurers of around 2nd or 3rd level are killing after they are done with the rats.

>>38224219
Sounds legit to me, it could be added to our Titles. Giant Spider Tamer... Who is also a Giant Spider.

>>38224190
Maybe a ferret?

>>38224251
Spiders 4 lyfe.

>>38224152
>>38223939
I don't think we can even get lord anymore, right?
We're tier 3? I thnk?

The next one is specialization, then the mythic tiers I think

>>38224273
Fuck a ferret, we must tame a regular Giant Spider!

>>38224190

Why would we need one, though? We already have more than enough mouths to feed, one that can't really think for itself isn't an attractive addition.

Though a lightning puppy would be adorable.

"Ah...ah...sn-"KRAKTHOOM

>>38224318
Lightning corgi?

>>38224301

But regular Giant Spiders are intelligent.

>>38224301
Why do we have to stop at one pet?

>>38224273
Honey badger. Only golden eagles dare mess with those fuckers.

>>38224177

It'll probably appear terrifying, and scare most everyone who sees it, but it will be our little boy/girl, yes it will...

>>38224318
>>38224328
Why would we need one? For fun of course, I thought of it as more of an experiment to see if we even could. Also Lighting Corgi sounds awesome.

>>38224355
You're right, why stop at one?! Regular giant spider and a lighting corgi, best pets.

Y'know what, we could make something of this... We never hang out with our brothers, we should take them pet hunting, before we leave. Just as a final goodbye.

>>38224362
Not entirely on magic things.
Sometimes it's just a really big sword. Or a hookshot.

Your benefactors look up as you stagger your way out of the stairway you built.
Edmund blinks in surprise.

"Lyra? Are you finished already?"
You look over towards them, eyes squinting, against the light and your even more brilliant headache.
Are they holding hands?
Gods, people.

"Yes, yes. You will need lights. And doors, yes."
"Those aren't a problem. Are you okay?"
And now he's standing up. He's not even going to let of her hand, is he?
"Too much magic, yes? I am going to lie down."

"Ah, the rooms here-"
"At Lia's. I should let my sister know where I am, at least."
"Visit when you wake, then. Doors and lights won't take long."
"Mhm. You two have fun, yes?"

They blush hard, yanking their hands apart as you push your way into the street, moth giggles accompanying your every move.

You bumble through the village, muttering to yourself about blindness and adults till you come to Jin's home.
You knock, wait the half second for the answer, and head inside.
"Lyra, good afternoon."
"What took so long."
"Nnnafternoon. I got carried away, yes. Can I sleep?"

"Taking after my daughter, finally?"
"M'head hurts. Magic."
"Feel free to lay down, yes?"
"Mhm."

You manage to grunt your thanks as you faceplant into the bedding, squeezing your eyes tight and willing yourself to stop being conscious.
It doesn't take long.

At some point in the evening, Elle must have dragged you clear of the bed, as it is currently in use by Jin's family.

There might be a glorious beefcake hunk that makes our skull all heated up if we'd only actually socialise with our own people.

>>38224995
I'm sure our brothers will be considered sexy arachne guys within the arachne community.
Or Aria's husbando, provided she doesn't fall for elf charms like mom.

>>38225055
It's just we dont' have any village or anything. We'd just sort of have to wander and hope we found them.

BUT GOT YES, I WANT TO GO MEET SOME ARACHNE.

>>38225057
To be honest, I feel kind of sorry for our Brothers. We never really do anything with them, or interact with them at all... They're more strangers to us than brothers, in a way. We probably can't even name their favourite colours...

>>38225055
Personally I think that's too cliche, so not as thrilled as some other anons by this idea. sorry.

>>38224995
Yeah, I'm kinda bummed we haven't had ANY interaction with arachne outside our immediate family apart from the battle with the necromancer, personally.

>>38225095
We can't name any of our family's favorite colors.

But I do agree, we need more brotime and more arachnetime.

>>38225095
Apparently they're scared of us.

>>38225141
We could try to make them not scared.

We don't HAVE to leave the town for years and years, you know.

We can come back after we visit the elf land and hang out with the arachne for the rememberance festival thing.

>>38225127

Arachne are solitary creatures by nature.

It's not really surprising we only met other Arachne when we all got together to stomp that Necromancer.

It's more likely that by going to LOOK for Other Arachne that aren't our immediate family could be taken as a hostile gesture, or a considerably rude one at the very least.

They must have some form of communication apart from fireworks. They share a common culture and society, and their part of the forest is covered in canopy highway system of webs. The main reason they stay apart is so as to not put excessive strain on the local ecosystem with their super-carnivorous appetites.

Perhaps we should create some kind of arachne festival once a year at the ruins to touch base with their fellows. And serve as an organizational step towards a monarchy.

This is a new and strange thing. I think I like it.

Fully support meeting another arachne. Any arachne. I just want to meet another member of our own race outside of our family. Leaving home without even meeting one feels like we would be missing out on something fairly fundamental.

>>38225338

I'm against the idea because all it will amount to is searching for a husbando or a qt3.14 arachne girl instead of actually learning new things about arachne.

Not sure when it occurs, but I'm sure we could go to the elflands for a while before having to come back for it.

>>38225357

Is it waifu/husbando wars if you want Lyra to NOT have a love interest of either gender and no preference if one occurs?

>>38225419
This is what I hope on and have been advocating.

But I forget what time of the year it is.

>>38224779
REQM, WHAT TIME OF THE YEAR IS THE ARACHNE REMEMBERANCE FESTIVAL THING?

>>38225444
I just really hate Waifu/Husbando wars.Seen alot of good quests die to it

>>38225444
>>38225466

Only if you vote to avoid cool things specifically because you are afraid you might see a waifu/husbando.
At which point you're just being disruptive and limiting our options to forest only, no friends.

>>38225481

I can understand their resistance to the idea, because it was originally framed with a "I want to meet a sexy spiderbutt boy" strapped to it.

Well, aren't we an evolution of the widow spider? By definition the black widow spider has many different relationships.

Everyone, everyone pls, stop. Just stop.

I think we've all been following these threads to know introducing the subject of waifus/husbandos in this quest before any are actually introduced to know absolutely nothing will come of it. Even mentioning it with the intent of making a constructive contribution to the discussion will inevitably bring about a shitstorm. Such is the nature of 4chan.

Let's just get back to spiderbutt shenanigans, I beg of you all.

>>38225521
I think they're just trying to start shit because they saw window dressing they don't like.
Either way, let it be done and dead. It's a fun idea, one that we should probably do, which is no more likely to result in waifu shit than literally any course that involves people.

>>38225466
It wasn't so bad until two threads ago. Before that, things seemed alright on that end. Don't know where it suddenly came from, but it'll probably deflate like last time.
At least until some assholes re-escalate it again later down the line.

>>38225529

All tier 2 spiders are widows.

So unless you're saying every arachne that's evolved is a slut...

>>38225573
I blame
>>38225045
myself.
This is the time to point fingers and yell

The waifu war is completly pointless because it's too late. There's already a waifu in this quest.
It's Lyra. We are Nins Waifu. Wether we want it or not.

>>38225521
It may have started off like that, but the conversation has since moved on. They are clearly the faggots most obsessed with waifus/husbandos.

While everyone else is suggesting exploring the forest and meeting new arachne, they are the ones clinging onto the original post about sexy spider boys.

>>38225573
Spiderbeefcake poster here. I don't know why people are upset. We're already routelocked.

y'all done yet?

>>38225558
Well, we aren't so much arguing about it like last time as we are complaining. We have a bit of a distaste for that sort of thing.

Spiderbutt shenanigans are always golden though, and we'll definitely get back to that soon.

>>38225636
>>38225643
Shut up the both of you, for pity's sake.

>>38225665
It's a complaint that is REALLY disruptive to spiderbutt shenanigans though.

>>38225558
>subject of waifus/husbandos

We're not talking about that. There's like 2 faggots (I suspect you are one of them) clinging onto the subject while everyone else is talking about meeting other arachne and learning about our race and culture.

>>38225643
No one's upset with you. We're upset at people who use it for waifuing/husbandoing purposes.
Platonic beefcakes tend to be great in my experience.

>>38225707
Anyway, we really should find out when that candlelight get together is and make SURE we get here.

We can't miss that shit. It's a get together. AND they'll see how we opened the ruins.

It's nice and warm.
But it could be nicer. And warmer.
And you now where the bath is.

You rub your eyes as you pick yourself up, shedding blankets and monsters alike.
You have to pick the latter up again though.
Elle gives you a sleepy gaze as you whisper where you're going, then promptly falls back asleep.

You drag your monster pile down the street- Nin half out of the skull-cubby arms and legs askew, Jin, the ever compact harpy and Sheszka, the incredible liquid dog.
Wolf, whatever.

Dog is probably an insult for them.

You wouldn't have to crack a dog with a right to get them to follow you though.

You dismiss your ever more inane thoughts as you shove through the doors and into the guild.
They do work fast.

There's a pair of double doors already marking the staircase- though you get a nod from the bartender, and go right though.
Orbs of light mark the wall every few feet- You can make out the little enchantments beneath them, and even recognize them.
And at the bottom-

There's a set of doors before each change room, marked with the plainspeech letters for male and female, respectively. There's even forest language beneath that. Very nice.

>>38225682
What do you have against Nin?

>>38225763
You enter the appropriate chamber, and immediately set about shedding clothing and undressing your friends. Everything is shoved into a slot in the 'lockers', bundled together because you are lazy and want a bath.

And then you enter the final chamber.

Despite the size, it's relatively full- women of all shapes and sizes relaxing in the water already. Steam hangs thick in the air- and a moments though creates a series of vents to let it gradually escape.

You clatter forward over the stones- accompanied by a now groggy Sheszka.
As you dip your foremost leg into the water...

Nearly every head in the bath turn to face you.
And one by one, they start to applaud.

You face burns as you shuffle into the deeper sections, hiding your features beneath a curtain of hair, surrounded by a tune of 'Thank you'.
Stop staring stop staring.

You distract yourself by washing your friends, and the clapping gradually dies.
Thank gods.

And double thanks that Nin slept through it.

>>38225682
Those two don't seem to be arguing with anyone dude. Please don't escalate things.

>>38225782
Oh god this is the worst suddenly.
How did this happen. How did we not forsee it.

Also, are the two gender baths entirely seperate, or are we going to see peeping scenarios occur?

>>38225782
>And we'll close it there tonight, as I'm running near to empty!
>Our next thread will be monday afternoon, sometime in the vicinity of 230PM EST
>As usual: Comments, questions and concerns, answered in thread!

>>38225819

We made them separate.

>>38225782
>And double thanks that Nin slept through it.
OR DID SHE? Ah, she did.

>>38225643
I'm upset because you haven't said what the source of that pic is yet, mang.

>>38225844
Hey.
hey.
When is that spider candlelight get together you mentioned so long ago? Like, what time of the year?

>>38225844
Thanks for running.
What are our friends and family members' favorite colors?

>>38225844
On a scale of 1 - 17 How popular are we right now in town for this?

>>38225844
Thanks for running, got some questions though.

1: Is it possible to get a Lightning Corgi?
2. Can we tame a regular giant spider?
3. Before we leave, will there be an option to hang out with our Brothers?

>>38225844
Thanks for running.
When will we get to blacksmithing?

>>38225844
Were those suggestions alright, mate? I'll make a pastebin up if you would like, for easier reference. I might be adding to it, but there's only so many folks you can fit on one continent.

>>38225844
Crap. Time for me to get to work then I guess. Thanks for running.

>>38225844
Wait, were they women applauding our construction work or men applauding our tits? I'm a little confused.

>>38225949
I think women applauding construction work.

We would be dead if it was a dual-gendered bath and the men were applauding us.
Our weakness is embarrassment, just like our mother before us.

>>38225977
>>38225949
>weakness is embarrassment

You know what that means?

A rust monster or tunic flipper is our kryptonite.

>>38226069
> tunic flipper
You mean Elle?

>>38226092
Elle, yes.
And anyone else with access to such dread abilities.

>>38225949
Women applauding our tits.

>>38225860
She definitely did.

>>38225865
Early spring, a few weeks before your birthday.

>>38225873
>>38225901
>>38225918
>>38225928
Thanks for playing!

Mom likes the colour of Dad's hair.
Dad likes red.
Elle prefers a pale white to a pale blue.
Aria has a favourite gem, but she won't say.
Sara likes dark, dark blue or purple
Zach likes green, though lighter than the leaves.
Ephram likes blood red.

You are a resounding 12 popularity! +15 for being awesome at everything
-3 for being a giant spider (due to centaur)

1) Lightning wolves don't get that small. There are a variety of dog breeds, though.
2) You'd need someone to tame it. Or to get your hands on an egg, maybe.
3) If you want.

>>38225918
There's a lot of things to do all the time, it seems. I'll keep it in mind for the next thread, maybe.

>>38225924
Go for it. It's fun to read.

>>38226149
Okay, so we gotta get back home a few weeks before our birthday.

TICKING CLOCK STARTS NOW PEOPLE. PLAN YOUR ELF VACATION AROUND THIS.

WE GOT LESS THAN 200 DAYS

>>38226149
what color is dad's hair again?
