Your more reasonable half wins out. {It's probably for the best, Chryssa. As much as I value your friendship it would be unwise to take things any further. Hopefully you'll find someone eventually.}

Her thoughts still and her response is calm. {Indeed, though it seems unlikely considering my current place of residence. Get home safely, I would be loathe to see what becomes of our group without its leader.}

With that the connection severs and you're left standing alone, the only sound shattering the stillness of the morning the sound of your guar uprooting a stand of grass. Your thoughts are interrupted by the sound of the woven grass mat rustling as it's pulled aside, Aylin poking her head out of the ruined tower and glances up at you, confusion writ large across her face. “So where are we going?”

You glance over your shoulder, shrugging. “Licae, and from there Anthus most likely. I've nothing better to do.” Raising your voice, you call into the tower. “Regulus! We're leaving, mount up.”

The construct comes stomping out a moment later and wanders over to his guar without a word, pulling himself onto its back. Aylin eyes him suspiciously the whole way, while you make your way over to your own guar and pull yourself into the saddle. You're about to tell Aylin to pick a guar and climb on, but as you're turning to face her she grabs onto your arm and hauls herself with surprising ease onto the back of your guar, wrapping her arms around your waist to keep herself steady. You dig your heels into your guar's flanks and it sets off at a brisk jog, it isn't long before the beast's heavy footfalls are ringing out across the cobblestone road. Worryingly, you spot a few tendrils of smoke rising in the distance, from where you think Anthus ought to be.

And we know its put in 20 vys from our reserve then leech 20 from sword.

Also I asked before but are we dumping vys into our pendent automatically? instead of the sword now.
And yeah I would be fine with only 20 vys from the sword unless anons want to pull more vys from the sword. We can "comfortably" dump up to 40ish.

Guys just to continue with a point.
The land idea.
WHile great in theory, the shah could simply say nope.

So I think it would be better to just build up a reasonable amount of land. Buy a lot then, from the wealth there. Build our own city. With our wealth + connections we could easily build a town paying for earth and metal GM's to build a palace/city around it. over a couple weeks.
Make it a half way point between the aleamodian city states and el armin.
And the marquash or something. See if we could buy them out if need be. and expand that city into the biggest port city in the world.

>>39841057
>"Weird feelings in my chest"

Only when his imouto is around. Also this way we can hit on fine piece of ass back at Anthus.

In the future he could simply say we own to much and take it away.
Because we would hold to much power over "water" and food production in the capital.
So if we just do that any where else we could be fine. and make our selves the powerhouse/owner of that city/state.
Make El Armir look like crap in a couple of years. While continuously building wealth in El amir. And migrating people to our state

It's because of the shitposting- they somehow treat Soma some sort of awe and respect, seeing as he and planefag thrive on shitposting.

As the day wears on you reach towards your chest. You undo the straps at your shoulder and let your chest piece slump forward, affording you some access to the pendant hidden beneath your clothes. You grab hold of the heavy, palm sized ruby where it hangs from its delicate chain and begin to channel vys into it. Tendrils of visible energy wrap around your hand as you push more and more power into the crystal, warping light around it as the ruby begins to glow brightly with the reserves of your vys.

After pumping perhaps half of your vys into the crystal you release it, tucking it underneath your clothing. You rebind your armor, a warmth spreading through your torso and into your limbs. It's a strange feeling, it reminds you of being drunk. That sense of intoxicated warmth as your blood thins and your heart races. Reaching into your cloak you extract the handle of your Shockwave Sword and leech its reserves carefully, at a slower pace. Once you feel that you're back to full power you release the handle and let the blade fall into your cloak.

That done you turn your attention to Regulus. “We're going to be riding for quite some time. Why don't you tell us a tale about Old Rhynia? Something light, preferably. No sense spoiling the mood so early in the journey.”

Regulus stares at you in silence for what seems an eternity before finally his alien, two-toned voice rings out across the plains. “I have a store regarding my creation that I believe may fit your very loose definition of 'light', if you would be willing to listen.”

You gesture elaborately, swinging one arm towards him with a flourish of your wrist. “By all means, regale us Regulus. We've nothing better to do, after all.”

Once more silence reigns for an awkward stretch before Regulus begins speaking. “I was created by a young woman. She was hailed as a prodigy. She could not feed herself. She could neither dress or clean herself. However, when it came to the field of enchanting she was peerless. My Mother-” He says the word with a sort of reverence you didn't think his inhuman voice could communicate. “-built the First Edition of the Regulus personality in the alley behind her house as a twelve year old girl. She was swiftly recruited by the Rhynian Empire and given an unlimited supply of resources to pursue her research.”

“I, as an individual, was created when she was many years older. Nearing her sixtieth year as I recall, and I recall everything without error. I was to be her greatest work, the model which she finally declared complete. The model that she showed to her overseers and declared perfect.” He'd pause for only a moment before continuing. “But I was not perfect. I was deemed too willful by her overseers and a new revision was ordered. The Third Edition, Fourteenth Revision of the Regulus personality was limited in a number of ways which I am not, and ultimately it was Fourteen who was placed into service, while I was relegated to the role of a personal assistant for Mother.”

Aylin interrupts. “This doesn't seem particularly light. In fact, this subject matter seems quite heavy.” You must agree, this isn't exactly what you were expecting. It is interesting, but not what you were expecting.

Regulus buzzes in annoyance. “Allow me to finish, I assure you that the ending to this tale is a happy one.” After ensuring that neither you nor Aylin was planning to interrupt, Regulus continued. “As I was saying, I became Mother's assistant in all things. I cooked and I cleaned and I aided in research whenever I was able. Our supervisors, the Dux and his underlings, interrupted frequently but we were largely able to ignore them. During this period Rhynia was experiencing hardships. We had lost the Northern plains to a resurgent Dwoveth Jarldom and the Hiacians were pushing into Provencia. Our research base in the mountains was threatened by foreign invaders but the shitslinging sand monkeys-” Wooah, you were not expecting that kind of obscenity from Regulus. “-Were unable to breach the gates. My Mother had enchanted them, so of course they were impenetrable”

Regulus buzzes oddly, it's high pitched and warbling. Almost like some sort of distorted laugh. “The invasion force was eventually repulsed and the Rhynians regained our research station but my Mother had fallen ill, and was not long for this world. She intended that I take over her research but the Dux was displeased by this prospect and instead ordered me put into storage. I went quietly, for I knew that allowing myself to be put in storage would allow me to live for the forseeable future, and it was a statistical certainty that I would eventually one day awaken. Now I am here today, traveling with two lesser peoples. Is it not a happy tale?”

You cough, turning your attention towards the road. “It's quite the story alright. I think you may want to readjust your definition of a 'light tale'. Typically when one remarks that they wish to hear something light, they mean that they wish to hear something comical.”

Regulus stares at you for a time. “Was that not comical? I found it to be quite funny.” His warped voice responds.

Aylin shifts uncomfortably behind you, whilst you simply shrug. Directing your attention towards your cloak a quick inventory is displayed in your thoughts of each and every book you own. You deliberate at length about what you wish to read.

I think Soma has made some missteps, though the players share equal blame.

I don't see how that can be accomplished while riding though.
Especially since we can't do metal yoga right now, which I think the book made us do at some point.

Personally I enjoy the stories we've done.
People are complaining we dont have much of anything going on, after just killing to giant reptiles.
And saving a little girl. and we read a book and now everything is going to hell? Get your head out of your asses.

>>39842552
We have to contest the upwards reach and mobility of dragons somehow. It'd pretty sucky to have to ground dragons by pure magic and projectiles, not to mention expensive. Also, they'd be pretty great for the Pavalan expedition.

You reach into your cloak and extract the heavy metallic codex which has served you so well as a meditative aid since you bought it. Pulling open the book you press your hand against the stiff surface of the vellum, channeling vys into the pages. Almost immediately the ink begins to swirl upwards, twisting itself into the form of a six armed, approximately seven faced masculine figure. In its hand it wields a wickedly curved sword, which it slices through the air. In its wake a golden rift is open, which the figure swiftly melts into.

You're not really sure what to make of it, to be honest. This has never happened before when you channeled vys into the book. Regardless, the pages begin to flip themselves at a rapid pace as you and your two companions watch in mystified silence. Even Regulus seems impressed. Finally the page stop flipping and the ink once more begins to flow off the page, forming itself into a depiction of a man in a meditative pose, a golden ball sitting in his chest. Iron wraps itself around the figure, words etched in bright orange copper scrawling themselves across the rotating disk.

The text is a commentary on the nature of self. The self, as the text explains, is strength. However, the self is tainted. The self must be purified if one wishes to truly master Metal magic. As one purifies ore by holding it within the heat of a flame. It is important that one do not hold the self within the flame too long lest they lose their sense of self and become like Those Who Came Before.” You note with some interest that 'those who came before' is indeed a proper noun.

>>39842971
Fuck *you*!

>>39843036
Soma really fucked up this time, he tried to make us go into a distant war zone for the inquest reason of killing some faggot so Mik could waifu Chrys, while El-Amin is in danger of being razed by dragons and our son is alone.
It was just not worth the risk and effort, and since they could not free her up, players decided that they would just give up on Chrys completely instead.
I still think she could be re-seduced though. We just have to fix her sanity.

As the text completes its first full circle around the central figure it starts to wipe out the text which came before it, replacing it. It's sort of hard to follow and your eyes begin to ache, but you manage it. This next passage seems to relate to ways to annihilate the self, as far as you can tell. It suggest eroding one's soul until nothing except an ember is left, reducing yourself to a bare wisp of your true self so that you might recover what is valuable and discard what is not.

You're not sure that sounds like a good idea, but you suppose it's not the worst idea you've ever heard. To you, it almost seems like something you'd perform for a Grandmaster meditation but you suppose you are working towards expertise in Metal right now. It's not entirely far fetched.

The book slams itself closed with a weighty thud and Regulus regards you passively. He begins to buzz, but before he can speak Aylin practically shouts into the early morning air. “That was SO COOL! Do you get to read books like that all the time? That was amazing! Reading is sooo boring but I would read all the time if it was all colorful and swirly and it moved and-”

Regulus cuts her off. “Indeed, that is quite a feat of enchanting. It would require the ink itself to have been inscribed with runes whilst still in solid form and then mixed with pure water generated from a runic array. The pages themselves would then need to likewise be enchanted with the ink itself before the text and decoration is applied over the enchantments.”

Huh, the more you know.

The rest of the trip is fairly peaceful and you reach Licae by the time the sun is just beginning to set. You'd guess it's about two or so in the afternoon. Riding into town you find that the streets are practically thronged by crowds of eager adventurers, a massive pit opened in the distance where you think the entrance to the Rhynian ruins ought to be. The inn which you stayed in so long ago has burgeoned into a massive, sprawling construction with four stories and six outbuildings, dominating the center of tone. You hear the voices of actors reciting an old Rhynian play carrying from the theater on the opposite side of town, even over the din of commerce.

You note that the early stages of a wall are underway, stone walls with a metal core. Just like in El-Amin, curiously enough. You wonder if that will become the fashion in fortification.

Hey constant samefag
Out of curiosity how much did you samefag the chrys rejection vote?

>>39843335
