The zombie's face is suddenly illuminated from above, and you hear Emma yell "Get your friend and run!" You don't hesitate, rolling to the side and grabbing Djanna as the tiny girl's illusion breaks, revealing her in her rags and matted hair, a look of fury on her face as she shrieks, bearing tiny fangs, and slams a flaming log from the campfire into the zombie's head. The blow doesn't seem to do any damage, the force of it making the fox girl cry out and drop the log, but the flame catches on the zombie woman's rotten clothes, igniting and setting the strange ooze of her body alight. It slowly begins to rise, broken arm hanging limply at its side.

>Take Djanna and get her out of there!
>Let Emma distract the zombie while you try and help Djanna
>Maybe Djanna will be okay. The zombie needs to die! ...again.

SYSTEMS:

Rolling: d100, best of three, roll under, degrees of success (roll compared to DC/opponent rolls and the amount by which you succeed/fail will matter). 1/100 are crit successes/fails, and override other rolls. A crit fail and success on the same roll means the remaining die result will be used.

Win/Lose by 10: Slight Success/Failure

10-20: Moderate Success/Failure

Greater than 20: Extreme Success/Failure

Voting/Writing: Ten minutes for voting, 20-40 minutes for writing as needed.

Final Destination: If a vote is tied/contended, I will call for FINAL DESTINATION, and present the most popular options. For those who don't know, you must vote precisely in the form of ">vote" without additional commentary. This extends 4chan's native post delay from one minute to five, and prevents samefagging or vote padding.

Exploration: While I have a general outline of what's going to happen, sometimes there are instances where things are left to chance. In those cases, I'll call for 1d10, and take the first given. Low rolls are beneficial encounters, with the higher you go being more dangerous. A result of 10 can actually be threatening to the character, and should be treated as such.

Combat: You will be called on to make both an offensive and defensive role, unless you choose FULL ASSAULT/DEFENSE.

>>40244405

>>40244203
Emma steps back against the wall, now completely visible, as the flaming zombie casts her head about left and right. "Dear? Emma, dear? I can smell you. This old girl doesn't hear well, but I can smell you dear. Why don't you come give me a hug? I forgive you, I promise..." Her voice is losing some of its coherence, some of the same throaty croak you heard below returning to it. She moves slowly as she turns about, sniffing at the air. Strangely, as she burns, she smells better than she did when you first entered the room.

You step to the opposite wall, setting Djanna down carefully. Your breath catches in your throat, and for the first time you're keenly aware of how small she is. Thin arms, thin legs, thin chest, and a delicate, slender neck that is currently a deep, angry purple from haematoma. Wait... what? Bruises. That's what mama called them when you bumped into things. You think back, though it's hazy, and you remember a time and place long gone. You wore strange clothes, and stood in a long room with other faceless people dressed similarly strangely. A tall male with a silver charm around his neck barked gruffly at you while an effigy sat before him on the ground. One by one you were brought forward to beat the thing on the chest, then kiss it. The whole thing seems alien to you, and why would-

That's when it hits you.

You fly into action, laying one massive paw over the other at the base of her chest, giving short compressions of her diaphragm before leaning down and putting your lips to hers, breathing slowly into her airway. You repeat. And again. And again. She's not moving, not coughing, not stirring. Damn it! DAMN IT! You can't be too late! You see something spatter on her cheek. You're not aware of when you started crying, or when the desperation began to make your heart pound in your throat. Behind you, you hear scraping moving away from you and the squeal of an iron hinge. You dare not take the time to look.

>>40244744
Eeeeeeehhhh, I'm leaning more towards QM.

As long as you promise to git gud

>>40244744
I think you should do what you think is best for the quest

>>40244744
for allied NPCS, I think we should roll

>>40244744
I prefer it as the players rolling for themselves and allied parties with the QM rolling for enemies and random chance best-of-one type things.

Nah. I'm still not a fan. I don't really want agency over the party members. Not a fan.

DM handling the rolls also means less posts.

>>40244926
We don't control them, we just roll for their actions.

>>40244640
No! NO! You keep going through the motions desperately, compressions, and breathing. Compressions, and breathing. You hear the shuffling scrape of the zombie's footsteps still moving about the room, calling for Emma. Occassionally, you hear the swish of a tail, or the rattling of an iron door, or the brazier, or scratching of nails on stone. You don't care. There is only your still, still sister. Finally, she coughs weakly, her eyes fluttering open. You see veins running through them like a network of spiderwebs, and they're terribly unfocused. Her mouth opens and closes slowly, bare wheezing bringing flecks of blood to her lips. She's not in good shape at all, but at least for now she's breathing. Thank goodness. You run a hand through her thin hair and she shudders, eyes closing as she passes back into unconsciousness. Her breathing is slow and rattles somewhat in her chest, but at least it's there. She's safe. You saved her from... was it from the zombie, or from your own...

You shake your head, whining at the thought. You hear the zombie groan slowly from the other end of the room, her voice directed toward you. "Eeeeeeeemmmmmmmmaaaaaaa..." You rise slowly and turn to face the monster, keeping yourself between Djanna and the monster. The fire has burned low, leaving the beast less slimy. Its skin is charred, its grave-clothes burned to cinders, and in several places its skin and flesh have burned away leaving visible putrescence to show through, held barely contained by discolored bone. Emma looks to you, eyes wide, her hand on the door to the lower levels. Her ears flick in surprise, though she looks cool as ice, and she slowly shakes her head.

>>40244988
Right. I'd rather the QM roll their actions as he has.

I do understand them getting more or as many rolls as we do. It does sort of make the entire party OP though. I thought we got more rolls do to being the Player/Chosen.

If everyone gets them It seems a bit OP. Sure we have a solid chance of taking everyone out.

But.. If everyone does.. we're pretty broken and any real difficulty is sort of removed.

I'm feel like everyone is screaming for easy mode. Fights and conflicts would be a whole hell of a lot less interesting.

Oh, I said too much.

>>40245073
I laughed. +1 point! (The points have no inherent value, are non-transferrable, and non-redeemable for goods or services).

>>40245073
Well. Except for Djanna.
Cause she was technically dead for a bit there.

Hey, Lotus, you know what's bullshit? The Red Cross has officially removed rescue breathing from CPR, so now it's just the chest compressions.

>>40245128
The fuck? What kind of horse shit is that?

Also, just started storming here. If I lose power, I'll move to my phone. Sorry.

>>40245147
This isn't Doom, so no.

I think we're all agreed to stand and fight. The question is, are you going to try and call on holy power again? Remember, your track record is one of passing out after calling on divine might. You're more of a ritualist than a traditional cleric.

>>40245184
No, we shouldn't call on them just yet, we can win this for now.

Also you said we can get fucked over for that presumably similar to #wish abuse in nethack.

>>40245184
Might as well try to use it, light could be effective on her...

>>40245154
It's only for regular people, mouth to mouth is still the goto for trained people.

>>40245184
No power, only STRENGTH

Well, you strike with all the fury and force of the God of Rage.

Unfortunately, the monster studies the Iron Corpse style. Writing.

>>40245354
It's fine, we just need to get the chip damage in and in the end Ultra Combo.

>>40245154
Paramedics still perform mouth to mouth, or that weird gas bag thing they do.
They don't include it in their basic training because of communicable diseases and the act that most people don't carry mouth barriers with them.

also, the compressions also act to compress the lungs, although it's much less effective.

>>40245354
Alright, lets start fighting dirty. Ain't gonna win conventionally. Go for the sideways kick on the knee, easier to force it outward than inwards, to cut mobility. Find a some ashes from the fire and throw it in the zombies eyes to create an opening. That kind of stuff.

>>40245297
Maybe boss monsters get 2 or 3?

I don't want the game to become piss easy.

>>40245441
the brazier, pick that thing up and start beating it to death with it.

>>40245128
>>40245432
The studies within the last two decades all show that CPR is what saves lives, not rescue breath. Doing rescue breath is wasting time that you should spend on CPR, unless 1) you are running a code and someone got an advanced airway in or 2) it has been a long long time since the person dropped and you have a bag valve mask.

>>40244992
You charge forward with a literal roar, clenching a fist and bringing it down into the monster's head. The force of the blow would kill a living creature, or really, any creature. A rotting corpse? It should have taken her head clean off! Her head doesn't move, and it's like punching a steel beam. She does jerk back, but it seems to be more in shock than in actual recoil or pain. "Nnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooot... EMMMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..." it shrieks, raising it's good arm and grabbing ahold of your arm with a monstrous strength.

"Don't let her close her grip! You'll never shake her off!" Emma calls, scurrying back to the dying fire. She tears a long piece from the hem of her rags, wraps her hands quickly, and grabs hold of the end of a flaming brand, drawing it from the flames. The movement makes the rest of the branches fall, the rush of air extinguishing them with a "fwumph".

You jerk your fist away just before the zombie's hand snaps shut, and with the way the muscles contract along her arm and in her fist, you wonder if it would have broken your wrist, even as strong as you are. It's a wonder Djanna's neck didn't snap... you circle the zombie, taking experimental swings at her, each one hitting her and bouncing off all but harmlessly. She's not even forming words any more, just groaning deeply as she swipes at empty air, trying to guess at where you are. Emma has crept to the doorway to the depths, looking as if she might bolt. She seems relaxed, but you know the look - ears folded back, tails between her legs. "Hey! Czarina!"

The beast slowly turns its back on you, groaning low in its throat before shuffling toward the sound of Emma's voice. She holds the brand before her, waving it slowly back and forth. "That's right, I'm right here. C'mon, I'll tell you another story. Let's just go back to your crypt."

>Let them go
>Attack! Her back is turned!

>>40245459
Uh, we could do that too. I want to at least kick one deal out to put her on the floor and maybe dump fire on her eyes first so she can't see us, but yeah. Plan improvised bludgeoning weaponry is a good plan.

>>40245455
Well, given how well this boss-monster is rolling, I don't think that'll be an issue.

>>40245455
Sounds good to me. I'll think on it tonight and take some notes.

She's dumb. But not that dumb. Protect the kitty!

>>40245573
She's rolled under 0 twice so far.

>>40245504
>Attack! Her back is turned!

>>40245598
I meant it's one boss fight.

It's one enemy. The Red Cap didn't roll nearly so well.

You should understand these are semi-random dice.

And loading the deck against the bosses with 3/2 rolls each would make this uneventful.

>>40245988

Tricky cat/friend loot doesn't excuse dropping the 2 and 4 that were rolled at the end of last thread. This is kind of a consecrated tower of Nadia's god.

>>40245504
Wait, she asked you to let her out, and now she wants to go back down? That doesn't... wait, no. No, you see what she's doing. Her eyes fall over you, then Djanna, then the door behind you. She's trying to lure the zombie away so you can get away! Kitty... and just like that, your decision is made. You step forward and grab the zombie by the shoulder, spinning her around and bringing your other fist across her jaw. It's still like punching a wall, but you feel the jaw dislocate under the force of your blow, and she actually staggers backward a couple steps. Stunned. You... you're not sure why, but you jam a thumb into your chest.

"Where do you think you're going? Your opponent is right here!" Man, you feel so coo-

The zombie turns back to the door, holding out it's good arm and moaning what might kind of be Emma's name. Your ear twitches and you grab the monster by the back of the neck, pulling back throwing it down to the flagstones. Your cheeks are puffed out in a pout, tail flicking about furiously. You're getting really tired of people ignoring you just because you're small. You're not even small any more! Unless you mean height-wise, but-

The zombie's trembling, but not rising. You tilt your head curiously, bending down. You feel a tiny hand on your paw, jerking you toward the door to the tower. "We should go. Now."

The zombie snaps upright, shrieking with a strange sort of staccato laugh, its eyes blazing green as thick green mist flows from the sockets. You hear a grinding sort of crack as its jaw and arm right themselves. The door to the tower slams closed with an echoing bang, and shimmering walls of force spring up in the doorways to the upper and lower floors. The creature rises slowly, as if levitating back to her feet, and though she still seems damaged she seems none the worse for wear for it. She looks all about before her eyes fall on you and Emma. The small fox-girl gives a soft "Tsk..." under her breath.

>>40246052
Nadia's god expects her followers to carry their own weight. Step it up.

CZARINA MISCHA VONKULESK HAS ENTERED FRENZY

She raises both arms toward you, shrieking something that might have once been language, and runs at you - not shuffles, runs - at you. Emma shoves you aside in the back of the knee, forcing you out of the way before jumping clear herself. The zombie doesn't stop, running full-force into the wall and scrabbling at it as if intent to tear it down stone by stone with her bare hands.

"Can you keep her busy? I can probably break the domain, but I need some time." Domain? You want to ask, but know that now probably isn't quite the best time. The light of her torch has begun to fade, the color being drawn from the room and rendering everything once more in dim shades of grey. You'll be effectively blind soon, but for the unhallowed gleaming in t he beast's eyes.

We're going to try claws.

Fists are blunt. Claws might be slashing.

Guess we better pray that Lotus is ripping off DND logic here, so that slashing is effective.

Actually they're immune to most kinds of physical damage the way I'm going at it. Dismemberment will put them down, but not quite kill them.

Just as a reminder: You have sun brands on your paws and your claws are golden.

That's -20, right?

>>40246650
Or the undead has a really high DR, and the only good way to put her down is to destroy her 'domain'.

>>40246708
I was thinking about that.
Are hands are kinda holy symbols, after all.

>>40246722

Bitch just got lit on fire. Her taking some penalties would be pretty fair at this point.

>>40246708
It's an unnatural crit so it should not be counted as a crit for deciding which rolls to use now should it?

>>40246751
>>40246708

Given what that anon said, yeah, why aren't our supposedly holy symbol fists doing anything?

ha! we're a boxing paladin!

Goddammit.

>>40246776
because we've just been punching her like damn idiots, seriously, why have so few people not been voting to claw?

>>40246800
No idea. I've been voting claws since the first vote.

>>40246818
>>40246834
Well.. can we start using them to get some skill in them? They're apparently blessed weapons.

>>40246753
Well, she also just went into a frenzy.
Which is usually a big buff.

No, it's plus twenty.

>>40246080
You send a silent plea to Yra under your breath as you shake your head. Emma scowls, but steps back to the center of the room and begins intoning long strings of unintelligible syllables that kind of make your head hurt if you focus too long on them. Yra remains silent, saying nothing to you. Emma's discarded torch goes out, and you bear your claws, hoping against-

The room is bathed in pale light from your claws, the sickle-shaped lengths glowing yellow in the dark. Your breath catches in your throat. With the fur on your paws you never realized before how incredibly warm they felt, and since they're typically kept sheathed you never saw them gleam before. Do they do this all the time? Could you use these if you have to get up in the night instead of grabbing a torch or a lantern? You're kind of impressed and shocked all at once.

The Czarina tackles you, but she doesn't manage to shift your mass at all as she shrieks in rage, trying to rend at your back. You yelp in surprise, her attacks catching in your coat ineffectively, and swipe at her cheek with your claws. She howls and recoils, for the first time showing some sense of awareness as she raises her formerly broken arm jerkily to her cheek. The wounds are ragged and smoking, extending the length of her cheek from her lips to where her ear had once been. The glow in her eye sockets intensifies as she lunges at you again, rotten nails bared like claws of her own.

"I'LL KILL YOU! KILLYOUKILLYOUKILLYOU!" See, now that? THAT you actually understand. You dodge, raking your nails along the Czarina's bare stomach and spilling her rotten guts along the floor. The zombie's feet become tangled and she falls, flailing about and screaming in frustration as she attempts to right herself. Gross...

>>40247228

>>40247117
Kek.

>>40247244
Worried awwooo while checking on Djanna

>>40247244
This calls for a true awoo

>>40247262

Just need to find a scroll of defibrillation in the basement.

>>40247304
B-but we don't need to un-fibbrill her! We need her to be awake!

>>40247304
I'll remind you: Nobody taught you to read.

>>40246906
That's enough. You're tired, you're frazzled, and you're kind of hungry, and you've just absolutely had it. You stride over as the zombie struggles to return to its feet, planting a foot between its shoulders and forcing it down to the ground. It struggles harder, growling and snapping at you as you pull back your hand, keeping it rigid with your claws pointing downward. There's a moment of hesitation - this thing clearly seemed at least somewhat intelligent, and maybe under different circumstances wouldn't have attacked you. But... you look to Djanna's still form, chest barely moving, and to the tiny bedraggled cat girl, covered in filth and wrapped up in the barest of rags. Her feet are cracked and almost black with dirt and who knows what, cobwebs and moss in her matted hair as she continues chanting slowly. She looks as though she's deep in concentration, but you can sort of feel a desperation in her actions. You frown and growl deep in your throat.

"Dead things should stay dead!" You drive your rigid hand into the base of her skull, the claws biting through her flesh and burning like cinders, the flesh around where they bit in charring and smoking. The zombie shrieks and jerks hard, trying to throw you off as it writhes. You pull your hand back and slash at the back of it's neck, the combination of this and the prior blow neatly severing her spine. Still, she shrieks and jerks, and when a third blow finally takes off her head, the body finally falls still, dropping immediately lifeless like a marionette with its strings cut. The head still snaps weakly, the gleam in its eyes beginning to fade as the mist flowing from its sockets slowly stills. You rise from the corpse - an actual corpse now, not moving around - and grab the head by her hair, carrying it to the brazier. You see the barest hint of a cinder still lies in the bottom of the copper basin, and you feel something holy within.

"OFFER THE FALLEN UNTO ME"

>>40247304
Her heart's beating and she's breathing. No need to stop it again.

She's plenty capable of doing that herself.

>>40247416
You toss the head in and it immediately bursts into white flame. The Czarina's head shrieks as the flesh begins to curl off of it, black smoke billowing from it's mouth and eye sockets and dissipating into the blinding white light. Emma has stepped back off the dais, her spell broken, watching the blaze with wide eyes. After the head has burned down to skull, and that to cinders, you see for the barest moment a face in the flames, young and beautiful. The face is framed by thick waves of blonde hair, the eyes bright green and full of life. It smiles, and mouths a silent "Thank you..." before it, and the flames, vanish without a trace.

This time, there's no worry for your companions or your safety to hold you back. You plant you feet, draw in your breath, clench your fists at your side, and give an ear-splitting victory howl. The shimmering walls of light barring the doors shatter with the sound of breaking glass, the "shards" of light falling into a million shades of opalescent light, vanishing as soon as they touch the ground.

"Wow." Emma whispers, her eyes half-lidded. She looks almost bored, though her tails are going mad behind her.

You bound over to Djanna, crouching and hovering your paws over her carefully, whining and prodding at her with firm pokes that make her whine in her fitful slumber, edging away from you as best she can. You hear bare footfalls and look up as Emma crouches down beside you, looking to you then to the dragon girl. "Did she live?" She leans over and lays a large, fluffy ear over Djanna's chest for a moment. You open your mouth to speak and she raises a slender finger with a "Shh!" She listens for a few seconds and nods. "She's fine for now, but she'll need some kind of attention."

You whine again softly and your tail wags back and forth in a mix of relief and worry. You look back to the doors leading into the tower proper. "Is there any kind of medicine here or something?" Emma gives you a look that you know well. Your older kin gave it to you often when you were running about in the warrens, or gamboling through freshly hung washing, or knocking things over with your tail.

"This is a necropolis. It doesn't exactly cater to the living." She stands and moves to the door down, whispering a few quick words and forcing the door closed. Huh, weird. The hinges didn't scream this time.

"A wha?" You turn toward her from your seat, half-twisted, unwilling to move away from the dragon girl.

"A place for the dead. Like a graveyard." You tilt your head, confusion evident.

"Then, why are you here?"

Her tails droop and an ear flicks. She remains silent for a long moment before turning back to you. "I don't remember." Huh? Djanna stirs, groaning and remaining asleep. You lay a hand on her arm, trying to comfort her as best you can. Emma shakes her head, walking back to your side and taking a seat beside the two of you, trying desperately to keep her rags low enough to preserve her modesty.

>>40248062
"I don't remember. I was living in a forest with my family, a lot of brothers and sisters. Then, something happened. I... don't remember what. Then, I woke up here with the Czarina. She was nice, at first. Then she started... well, you saw her." She draws her knees up to her chest, her tails circling her ankles. She hugs them close, her chin resting on her knees as she stares at the stones between the two of you.

"So your family... you're all cats?"

Her ears flick in irritation, tails bristling. "...what?" You tilt your head sideways, your tail thumping against the ground. She frowns, yellow eyes flashing. "I'm not a cat! Where did you get that idea? I'm a kitsune!"

"Well, a cat is the same thing as a kitty, isn't it?"

"KITSUNE! KIT-SOO-NEY!" She snaps, ears flattened backward, eyes locked on yours as the tips of her tails flip about.

There it is again, that smell. Spices and autumn leaves and something just enticing! It makes you want to run and chase things, but here in the enclosed bottom floor, you satisfy your enthusiasm by leaning forward and inhaling deeply, over and over again as you edge your nose around her face to her ears and along her shoulder. She blanches and recoils. "H-hey! What do you think you're doing!? Get offa me!"

"If... if you're done... could I have some water please..."

>>40248090
You whimper, staring into the irritated girl's eyes, looking down at your barely conscious, prone sister a moment after. "But... kitty..." You look back at Emma, and realization clicks on. You turn back, tail thudding against Emma ("Hey, knock it off! What the hell is wrong with you?") before pouncing on your sister. "DJANNA! YOU'RE OKAY! YAY YAY!" Emma gets a face full of kobold tail as you throw your arms around Djanna, rubbing her cheek to cheek. The dragon squeaks in pain, trying to force you off though she lacks the strength for it. She finally just gives in, letting you cling to her as she whimpers under your weight. Finally, you realize what you're doing, and pull back. "I'm so sorry! I thought you were right behind me, and when I realized you weren't I turned right around and came back, and then I saw that mean monster with her hands on your neck and I... I..."

You start bawling, tears flowing down your cheeks as you reach up and mash your fists into your eyes, trying to stop the tears by force. Djanna reaches up and lays a hand on your arm gently, and a moment later you feel a smaller, hesitant hand on your shoulder. Djanna clears her throat, grimacing as the pain passes over her. "Nadia... can we go home?" There is pleading in her voice, begging. Your sister has always been timid, but this... you hear something genuinely broken in her spirit. Tears flow down the sides of her head as she looks up at you in desperation. You want to nod, you want to scoop her up and carry her back home to the warrens right now... but something... somehow you don't think...

You consider carefully, laying one hand over hers, and the other over Emma's. The cat-girl doesn't seem too vested in the matter, but there is compassion in her eyes for the two crying lunatics who just slaughtered her jailer.

>>40248613
She needs medical attention, more medical attention than we have to offer.

And you want her to stay home be sheltered and terrified of the outside instead of overcoming her fear and becoming something better.

Good show.

>>40248491
>>40248589
Second

>>40248491
>Deny. As long as she's with you, you can keep her safe.
The ONLY reason she got hurt is because she wasn't with us.
We just need to stop splitting the party in spooky areas jesus fuck girl did you never watch a horror movie?

>>40248613
YeH great put your retarded hateboner over Djannas well-being, really big of you faggot.

>>40248596
I like.

>>40248646
And you want Djanna to die obviously, Or did you forget that she needs medical attention?

>>40248636
She's a dragon, a few bandages and she'll be fine.

>>40248676
She has broken ribs and probably internal bleeding, CPR is an extraordinarily messy thing, and it was done by a kobold on steroids. She needs help.

>>40248676
No she fucking won't be, Or did you forget that Sylea is STILL injured and she's a dragon to

>>40248646
Who says we will stay home? Nothing saying we can't leave ever again, we have to actually since everyone will abandon the warren soon anyway.

>>40248670
We've proven to have the capacity to heal mortal wounds.

>>40248708
Yes, when god feels like it, we REALLY don't want to abuse our wishes, I've played enough nethack to know what happens.

>>40248708
BY PURE CHANCE! We won't get that lucky again

>>40248708
Cleanse poison/ cure disease is not cure mortal wounds

>>40248687
Yeah, that's true. Forgot about the whole smashy rib thing in CPR. Maybe Emma can do something before we pack up and head home.

>>40248695
Her wound got infected with some weird shit, didn't it? From the tar monsters.

>>40248491
>Agree. Take her home. This is too dangerous.

>>40248736
She'll probably be fine IF we get her actual bed rest. I mean actual bed rest, not furry kobold back rest.

Much as I hate to do this, I lost track of time and have to get ready for work. Talk amongst yourselves, but please keep it civil at the bare minimum. Remember, we're all in this together, and we all want to see what happens to Nadia. A few caveats:

Nadia has proven herself capable of healing. The level of which is still unknown, but the healing she performed on her father and Djanna were relatively low-grade. Laying on hands and removing low-order infections evidenced so far.

Djanna IS pretty messed up. Medical attention IS a good idea.

Dragons ARE resilient, but they can still die. Djanna is, for the moment anyway, not at risk of sudden death.

>>40248760
Can you post the map before you go?

>>40248760
I'll try to post from work again tonight, but no guarantees. Keep this thread alive for now, please.

well the whole problem is that she's a fucking coward and instead of keeping her around as a supporting character she's going to cling to her mother and the warren and never want to leave.
