Old thread >>40278406

“Every year people suffer from the endless winter” you say “in Dornmer, all across Dahandran and the entire plane. Even Oreia and the Azure Empire are not immune. If I could, I’d end the Killing Frost now, but...”

“But?” asks Sofia

“The last time it won” you say “I wasn’t prepared for its power, for the power the Lord of Life had given it. When I face it, I need to be certain of victory, or I’m just wasting my time. For now, we wait, and gather whatever tools we can, and I build up my power as a goddess.”

“Very well” says Isla as you prepare to planeshift home “We’re with you, whatever you decide.”

“Yeah” says Jal, joining the hug “Yer not getting rid of us.”

“Not soon anyway” jokes Sofia, also joining in the hug.

“You’re all immortal” you say with a grin “You’re stuck with me now.”

---

And that’s it for the main quest. Mini paladin soon.

After mini paladin, a vote will be called on 3 main topics – though anons can request others if they want.

1) Buying domains
2) Personal actions for Sireyi in downtime
3) Actions for her allies/realm

2 is about what Sireyi does personally, 3 is about having her allies do certain tasks – such as making magic items, researching stuff, recruiting followers, building alliances etc.

2 will have a limited number of options, 3 is essentially unlimited.

Feel free to discuss and suggest ideas before the vote.
>>
You are Milerna Jalweyen, angel-blooded and born paladin of Konig. You are 8 years old, and are attending paladin training at a church of Konig school.

http://pastebin.com/RE8br4uf

You stand face to, uh, mask with a demon called Qux. He is an Eyeless – a bony humanoid demon with a mouth full of fangs, and no eyes. A helmet covers most of his head.

Your teacher, Instructor Tanner bought you here pretending to be her apprentice, and Chesi her familiar, and she just made some sort of deal with Qux for...something.

And now Qux is talking to you, in front of a big crowd of bad people.

“What is your name little one?” he asks. His voice sounds very scary.

“Samiya” you say, recalling the false name Instructor Tanner gave you.

“You go to school at the Church of the Warrior God do you not?” asks Qux.

“Yes” you say.

“I have heard” says Qux “That a girl called Princess Milerna goes there too, do you know her?”

How do you respond?

>I *am* her
>I know her very well
>We’ve spoken a few times
>I’ve only seen her at a distance
>She doesn’t go to school at the church
>Other (what?)
>>
>>40285003
>1) Buying domains
Well, we can only afford succubus domain anyway, so its pretty much a Y/N question.

>>40285054
>We’ve spoken a few times
>>
>>40285054
>We’ve spoken a few times
Ironically, saying we are her would be the safest, but Mili doesn't know that.
>>
>>40285072
>Well, we can only afford succubus domain anyway, so its pretty much a Y/N question.

Not the only domain you could buy though, there are other options, even if they offer fewer tangible benefits.
>>
>>40285054
>I know her very well
>>
>>40285054
>I know her very well
Best if we don't lie

I'ld like to upgraid our angel a bit.
I also want to recon an out of the plane of fire
>>
>>40285054
>I’ve only seen her at a distance
>>
>>40285054
>I've spoken to her a few times but not much. I don't think she likes me.
>>
>>40285112
Family domain?
>>
>>40285123
>Best if we don't lie
We could allways say "I don't talk to her much" or "I haven't met her face to face"
>>
>>40285112
We could buy others, but since it would leave us nearly empty on DP, it would be criminally stupid to do so.
>>
>>40285054
>We're in the same class.
>>
>>40285123
>Best if we don't lie
Saying we only spoke a few times is totally the truth though.

>>40285160
No, Storm and Black Dragon are also available, there is a list for which we can get in the charsheet.
>>
>>40285188
>"I haven't met her face to face"
There are mirrors though.
>>
>>40285192
We regen ~170 DP during the timeskip regardless of which we pick.
>>
>>40285249
Minus 40-50 for our Twin. And then we are really on a far tighter budget than I like being fighting the Forst, that thing got massive amounts of DP of his own to throw around.
>>
>>40285054
When/Where do we decide on what we build in our realms?
>>
>>40285249
And Priests cost already 20DP each, and we definitly want more of those.
>>
>>40285313
After mini Paladin I'll ask for suggestions, and for Autism Anon to post his ideas as well, for players to discuss and vote on.
>>
Please roll 1d20 to see how convincing you are
>>
>>40285285
Hold on, wouldn't frost/ice giants be basically immune to anything the killing frost throws at them?

It'd be like pouring water on a duck
>>
>>40285220
You know what we need? A Loli Domain.

The bonuses include:
DP from young females
Young females are empowered
Females can reproduce at an earlier age and produce extra DP per descendant
Young females become immune to all forms of diseases and environmental hazard seems to avoid them
Sweets don't make women fat anymore
Sireyi gain a loli version of herself, granting a massive boost to Felloship checks.
Spells and abilities based on charm, seduction and adorableness.

>>40285348
Alright, good to know.

>>40285364

>>40285367
Unlikely, maybe resistant. Forst Giants don't have quite immunity and as a deific being the Killing Frost can pierce immunities.

>>40285364
>>40285367
Sadly not, we already asked that.
>>
>>40285379
>Females can reproduce at an earlier age and produce extra DP per descendant
Oh, anon, Sireyi isn't ready to be a grandma.
>>
>>40285379
Imagine the huge DP boost this would give us, considering Oreias population will be in a few years literally milions of lolis.

But alas, no lolis for us anon.
>>
Could we get some lawful domains, based on our actions the last couple of threads?
>>
>>40285429
It could also combine with Life domain for even more bonus DP, I think.
>>
>>40285455
Domains aren't Aspects, they don't work that way.

>>40285471
Life Domain doesn't apply to supernatural beings.
>>
>>40285455
I don't think that one set of actions warrants a new domain being made around it.
>>
>>40285471
>>40285487
Clarification before someone gets pedantic: Life domains DP increase doesn't apply to supernatural beings.
>>
Hey, how old is Bokin nowadays?
>>
>>40285547
Dead.
>>
>>40285507
>>40285487
Ah, that is unfortunate. On the other hand, orcs, beastfolk and elves are not supernatural. Might get something from them, but probably something small.
>>
>>40285547
He is who gives a shit? years old.
>>
>>40285547
Its been, I think 7 years since Drache, so he should be around 21/22 now if I remember right.
>>
>>40285595
We can still do his adult initiation quest actually, that had a ten year time limit.
>>
FUCK YEAH! (MINI)PALADIN OF JOY QUEST!

TIME TO SHARE THE JOY OF DRINKING! WOOP, WOOP!

I have a difficult time caring.

“We’ve spoken a few times” you say “I don’t know her very well” All around you, the grown-ups shift, and some lean in.

“Tell me of her” says the demon, crouching down until its face is almost level with yours.

You shrug, how do you describe yourself?

“She gets into trouble a lot” you say “Instructors punish her, I think maybe she doesn’t like rules.”

“A wise child” says the demon “anything else?”

You wrack your brain for believable but harmless stuff “She only has a few close friends” you say “and sometimes bullies attack her, but she fights them off.”

“A taste for violence” says the demon “good” all around you, the grown-ups nod. You open your mouth to protest that Mili only fights bad people, but then you feel Instructor Tanners hand on your shoulder and you fall silent.

The demon stands, and turns to one of the old men “send forth the supplicants.”

You, Instructor Tanner and Chesi retreat as the grown-ups for a line to the demon, and start asking it for stuff, some of which makes no sense to you.

Instructor Tanner leads you and Chesi away from the main crowds “time to leave” she murmurs to you “lets slip out whilst we can.”

As the grown-ups are busy asking the demon for stuff, the three of you put your cloaks on and quietly slip away. As you walk away from the circus, you ask Instructor Tanner “What was that demon?”

“An Eyeless” she says “they are messengers and diplomats mostly.”

“Why did it want to know about me?” you ask

“I don’t know” says Instructor Tanner in a worried tone.

Chesi squeezes your hand reassuringly “Don’t worry” she says “You’re safe now.”

“Quite right” says Instructor Tanner, but like she’s not even paying attention. You’re walking back to the school, it’s late at night.

What do you do?

>Walk back in silence
>Ask Instructor Tanner questions (what?)
>Other (what?)
>>
>>40285675
He could very well have done it already, especially since they moved away, so the original task he wanted to do is not really up-to-date anymore.
>>
>>40285767
>Walk back in silence
>>
>>40285767
>Walk back in silence
>>
>>40285767
>"What did you ask it for?"
>>
>>40285754
Why? He's our friend?
>>
>>40285769
I hope we can get the chance to check in with him
>>
>>40285767
>What did you ask it for?
>I don't think I should come to any more of these meetings
>>
>>40285767
Why didn't instructor tanner ask the eyeless her questions?
>>
>>40285767
>What did you ask it for?

>“Why did it want to know about me?”
Maybe it wants to commit suicide. Or maybe it's doing that thing that the Lord of Despair does where he attacks people by destroying everything they love in gruesome fashion. Or it's trying the latter but will wind up being the former.
>>
>>40285845
Which is why the right thing to do would have been telling him the point of this task is to do it himself, it misses the point if we need to support him for it.

>>40285847
We had the option often, I don't really care. If we had some time in which there isn't world threatening evil to deal with I would consider it, but thats not gonna be in the next three years.

Especially since he could easily come to us and ask us. He is supposed to know for himself when he is ready.
>>
>>40285890
What's the task again?
>>
>>40285845
See, you don't understand how /tg/ works, especially this quest. Since he has a penis, not a single person will care about him. Not a single bit. Now if he was a qt loli giantess, it would have been a completely different scenario, but he isn't.
>>
>>40285926
If I remember right he wanted to kill some giant frost worm thing that lived in the region where they used to live.

>>40285939
>lel epic meme
>>
>>40285939
I care about him.
>>
>>40285939
We care about Shahulzer though, so that kinda falls apart there.
>>
>>40285951
I think the giant tribe still lives in the general area,just no longer near the barony or Oreia
>>
>>40285939
>Who is Shahulzer
>Who is Dev
>>
>>40285939
>Now if he was a qt loli giantess
Hmm...
>>
>>40285980
Shahulzer is that demonic dragon we owned at warfare that one time. It was hilarious, and also Sofia kinda hates him. Hahahaha....
>>
>>40285939
It's more about the character than the gender.
>>
>>40285979
They can't really, since the area where they used to live was the mountains that border Dalvin along the Tribal Lands, which are now in Oreia.
So wherever they went it has to be a long distance away from where they used to be.
>>
>>40286013
Why don't we clarify by asking the QM?
>>
>>40286004
>Shahulzer is that demonic dragon we owned at warfare that one time.
Who we then proceeded to bring to basically every mission we went to.
Your new is showing.
>>
>>40286031
Because it doesn't really matter? If you care, ask him.
>>
>>40285939
Hey, /tg/ happens to be big fans of Corruption of Champions, and do you know how many dicks per minute that game has? 2.5
>>
>>40286034
Only because he is a fucking dragon. By the way, Pally, when does Ebonsong get her first crush?
>>
>>40285939
>Since he has a penis, not a single person will care about him.
Yeh because we clearly care way more about Demihydra or Poppi. Sure thing, we constantly seek those guys out.

>>40286086
She already has one you dipshit, at least read the quest.
>>
>>40286034
They asked who Shahulzer was, and I introduced the earliest thing I could remember about him.
>>
>>40286086
>Only because he is a fucking dragon.
We got three dragons, we didn't bring Nicolvren to nearly as much shit. Its because Shahulzer is a total bro.
>>
>>40286086
>By the way, Pally, when does Ebonsong get her first crush?
Maybe if you would spend more time reading the quest and less time telling us about your obsession with penises you would know that.
>>
>>40286011
Yeah, I know it is. It's just that most male characters that Pally makes are boring for some reason.
>>
>>40286188
>It's just that most male characters are boring
FTFY
>>
>>40286177
That's Nicolvern, you dipshit.
>>
>>40286210
God are you stupid.
>>
>>40286210
Oh wow, you just keep riding yourself into it.

I want tumblr to go back to tumblr.
>>
>>40286225
>>40286230
Samefag please.
>>
>>40286237
I doubt they make more interesting male characters.
>>
>>40286237
Stop oppressing me!
>>
>>40286210
>“That’s a new shield” says Sofia, indicating an ornate orcish tribal shield with gold decorations “When did you collect that?”

>Ebby looks a little shifty “it was a gift” she says.

>“Oh?” You ask casually “from that black dragon you told me about, Alostrathus?”

>“Uh, yes, him, says Ebby, shifting a bit “I just accepted it to stop him following me” she says hastily “it was getting annoying.”

>You and Sofia spend some time teasing Ebby about her admirer before taking your leave.
>>
>>40286263
>gets told
>m-must be samefags
Keep telling yourself that, kid.
Also, because I'm in a spoonfeeding mood
>Ebby looks a little shifty “it was a gift” she says.
>“Oh?” You ask casually “from that black dragon you told me about, Alostrathus?”
>“Uh, yes, him, says Ebby, shifting a bit “I just accepted it to stop him following me” she says hastily “it was getting annoying.”
Maybe you can piss off back to qtg now.
>>
>>40286271
Don't feed the troll Tumblr.
>>
>>40286300
Actually that's someone having crush on her.
Nico was the one who was having a crush on someone else.

It does seem like the feelings are reciprocated though.
>>
>>40286300
>>40286305
That's not her having a crush, that's her being creeped on by a pervert.
>>
“What did you ask the demon for?” you ask Instructor Tanner

There’s a long pause and then she says “information about my father.”

“Oh” you say “Is he a long way away?”

“Yes” she says “but the information I asked for, ah, it’s complicated, ok?”

There it is, that *I don’t want to tell you stuff* phrase adults use.

“What did he tell you?” you ask Instructor Tanner

“That what I wanted to know would take time to find out” she says “I’ll need to go back another night to get all my answers.”

You wonder if you’ll be going along again...

Finally you get back to the school and you fall into bed, it’s late and you’re tired. You barely feel Chesi curl up in bed next to you.
---
The next morning you’re really tired, and Chesi has to drag you out of bed.

You get dressed and go to your first class in a daze, your first few classes in fact.

It’s only after horse-riding that you wake up properly. The shouts coming from the stables might have something to do with that.

As you’re putting your tack away, you, Chesi, Thomas and Jenny hear unkind laughter coming from the stables next door. You can also hear Sera’s voice.

“Leave me alone!” she yells. You all drop your gear in the nearest available space and rush to the stables next door.

There you see a half-dozen of the bullies – Sera is in the middle of them, they’re pushing her back and forth and yelling “Go on, show us, show us your power.”

Sera is trying to get away, but they keep getting in her way. In the corner is one of your riding instructors, but he’s not interfering, he’s just watching. He fails quite a few of Konigs ideals.

There’s also another kid, one of the Talented, holding back from the bullies, and watching, a creepy smile on his face.

No has noticed you all peeking around the door yet.
>>
>>40286339
Its blatantly obvious she is at least somewhat infatuated with him, which is what a crush means.

>>40286349
>making a girl you like nice gifts is being a creepy pervert
No wonder you are so obsessed with dicks anon.
>>
>>40286349
Wow... you're going to be lonely for a long long time anon.
>>
“I’ll get Instructor Ophilian” suggests Jenny

“You do that” says Thomas, “in the mean time, I’m going to stop them” he starts forwards.

“Mili” says Chesi, tugging on your clothing and pointing at the Talented kid “He’s dangerous”

“Dangerous how?” you ask.

“Just...dangerous” says Chesi.

What do you do?

>Charge in
>Tell the Instructor to stop it
>Hang back and wait for now

And your allies

“Chesi” you say “keep an eye on him” you point to the Talented.

“Ok” says Chesi “what if he does stuff?”

“I dunno” you say “distract him”

“Ok” says Chesi, heading off even as Thomas heads towards the bullies, and you head towards the Instructor, Jerick you think his name is.

“Instructor Jerick” you say, when you get close to him “Aren’t you going to stop that?” you point to the bullies and Sera.

He looks over and shrugs “Why?” he asks “just kids playing.” His eyes look too long in the Talented kids direction though.

Then Thomas charges, slamming into two of the bullies and opening an escape route for Sera.

“Cassitery! Cassitery!” yells Thomas as he swings wildly at the bullies. You recall that’s the name of a castle his family owns, and he claims its also his family warcry.

Sera darts out of the gap opened by Thomas and the other bullies try to follow her, but are impeded by the tangle of arms and legs that is Thomas and two buys much older than him. In their anger they abandon chasing Sera, and start kicking at Thomas.

“Thomas!” yells Sera and rushes in to help him, a blue glow building around her hands.

As she does so the Talented kid rushes towards her, his hand outstretched and a hungry look on his face.

Before he can get near her though, Chesi steps in his path and grins at him. He backs up suddenly, looking disgusted “Get away from me monster!” he yells, and then tries to go around Chesi. She keeps stepping in front of him, and soon he’s backing away from her, yelling “Get away from me!”

“But I’m not touching you” says Chesi with a giggle.

Meanwhile Thomas and Sera are both fighting the bullies, a blue glow surrounding both of them. Despite being outnumbered, they’re holding their own. The Instructor finally gets up and....heads after Chesi, grumbling under his breath about *pitspawned freaks*.

>>40287501
You know, considering Mili apparently spent a lot of time in Oreia trhe last three years, and with her parentage.
Does she even know girls can like boys?

I'm not actually serious, but I found the thought amusing.
>>
>>40287511
That would be fantastic. I'm gonna spent the quest shitposting about how anons shun all the characters with penises in the maleMC quest, because you can bet the usual faggots won't all of a sudden.
>>
>>40287555
Well, she's way too young for it yet, but as a descendant of one of Velya's angels she's probably Bi.
>>
I've never understood why people would focus on sexuality to the point of letting it influence their votes.
>>
>>40287640
I don't think thats how it works.
Her parentage doesn't have anything to do with it.
The enviroment is a far more likely culprit there.

Not that it matters in the slightest in the end.
>>
>>40287501
>>40287555
tfw Thomas has realised if he can get Milli to be his GF ther he could get Chesi as a package deal and Velya and Sireyi would be ok with it even if his new mother in law doesn't make it so he'll live forever.
>>
>>40287677
Because of fapping anon. Without penises they can't self-insert, and so can't fap, thereby diminishing their ability to enjoy the quest.
Its really not rocket science.

You rush forwards and before the Instructor can get at Chesi you drag her towards the fight “We gotta help Thomas and Sera!” you say.

The sudden change in direction seems to confuse the Instructor and the Talented kid long enough for you both to start mixing it up with the bullies. Soon you’re all slogging it out.

Then you see him: The Talented kid sneaking up behind Sera, her blue light dancing around her. With a predatory grin he stretches out to touch her. You’re too far away, and you’re struggling with an older bully who is trying to get you in an arm lock.

“Sera!” you yell out desperately, she turns, but slow, too slow...

The Talented kid reaches towards her...and is then pulled quickly to one side. Thomas tackles him and the two roll over and over in the straw, punching and kicking at one another.

“Bloody kids!” yells the Instructor “Break it up!” he wades into the melee, pulling bullies back, and walks straight into a solid chunk of blue energy swing by Sera, falling down like he’s suddenly asleep, a nasty-looking mark on his forehead.

You all stop fighting for a moment, except for Thomas and the Talented kid, who continue to struggle.

“You just hit an Instructor” says one of the bullys, looking at Sera in amazement “You’re gonna get in so much trouble”

“I didn’t mean to!” objects Sera, looking upset “I was trying to get you, he just got in the way!”

“I’m not getting in trouble!” declares one of the bullies.

“Nor me” says another. They all turn to flee, leaving you and your friends alone, with the Talented kid, who is trying to strangle Thomas.

“Hey!” you say, giving him a kick “your friends ran off!” You’ll deal with him first you think, then worry about the Instructor.

“He’s still breathing” says Sera hopefully, checking on the grown-up.

The Talented kid stops fighting Thomas for a moment and scowls at you all. A thought occurs.

“Thomas” you say “Your castles named after one of your ancestors, right?”
>>
>>40287819
Now you got it anon. Finally you realised the fundamental crux of the issue. Congratulations.
>>
“Right” says Thomas, blood streaming from his nose “he was the greatest in his generation, my father says, known all across Dornmer.”

“Best what?” asks Chesi “Knight?”

“No” responds Thomas “Cassitery was a bard.”

The Talented kid gets to his feet “You’re going to regret this!” he says “You’ll learn to feat my power.”

He hands start to smoke and then burst into flame. You’re in a stable, with lots of straw, and an unconscious grown-up who looks really heavy.

It seems that the only way to make the quest enjoyable to everyone and suppress conflict is by introducing barbie anatomy. Or play as a genderless species among genderless species.
Or play a machine. Like a golem or an AI.

>>40287875
Sorry for the hearty shitposting Pally, great thread!

>>40287819

Are you implying we wouldn't let Chesi tenderly penetrate Mili?
Because you couldn't be any more wrong if you tried.
>>
>>40287782
Maybe. There are factions of Succubi that have decided to not be promiscuous and adopt more mortal sexual tendencies, the exposure to angelic energy might change Chesi, and Succubi usually only take one person as their romantic partner anyway.

>>40287902
Well, I assumed he wanted to ultimately get with Mili. With Chesi he has no chance because of the weird succubi pairbonding thing.

I really hope Pally gives the Talented a speech impediment like that, at least for this scene. Just say he got hit in the head pretty hard when it's not there in future scenes or keep it if he's supposed to be a one-off with occasional reappearances like some of Sireyi's childhood enemies.

And here we go, vote 1 of 3: Domains

Sireyi has enough Deific Power to buy 1 Domain for 500 DP

Available Domains are

Succubi
Black Dragon
Storm

Each Domain will bring with it
- Increased DP gain related to the domain
- Permanent boosts to powers/stats
- Access to, or discounts for powers relating to the domain
- Misc stud=ff depending upon the domain chosen.

Loli and Family Domains are not on the list, sorry

So which Domain will Sireyi buy in the next year, if any?

Succubi, normally, dont really have a concept for monogamy. Its really weird to them.
So unless Chesi grows up non-standard, which she very well might, wanting Mili as "partner" wouldn't clash with sleeping around for her.

Mili might see the issue different though, so there is that.

Here's a video that demonstrates malapropisms in action:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOSFNlBQVkY&t=1m28s
>>
>>40288148
Opposites Attract: Ordinarily, it is impossible for angels to have children with any kind of demon without direct divine intervention due to their conflicting natures. Due to Sireyi's domains, this is no longer true for her Succubi and Angel followers. Angels and Succubi can conceive children just as easily as any mortal couple, or perhaps even moreso due to following a Goddess of Life. Non-succubi demons would still require divine intervention.
Requires: Angel, Life and Succubi domains
Costs 0XP
Requires 3 deific power
Theological scholars called a hypothetical demon/angel hybrid a *Nephraham*, though the word had negative connotations. What the citizens of Oreia would call such a being is unknown.

Welcoming Light: Any demon that truly seeks redemption will always be welcome among Sireyi's followers. No reduction in Deific Power gain from demonic worshipers, Sireyi's powers and powers originating from her will no longer consider demons to be evil solely because they are demons.
Requires: Angel and Succubi domains
Costs 10XP
Requires 5 deific power

Light and Dark Intertwined: While still an Angel, Sireyi is now able to tap into the powers of demons. She can purchase demonic powers as though she were a Succubus at 1/2 (rounded down) normal cost; she is immune to any mental side effects of said powers. Some powers may be altered to be more aligned towards her other domains, or gain peripherals based off of those domains.
Requires: Angel and Succubi domains
Costs 10XP
Requires 5 deific power

Reflection of the Changing Moon: Due to Sireyis dual nature as a Goddess of both Holy and Unholy domains, any Holy or Unholy resistances she acquires are now considered to be both (i.e. if she acquired Holy Resistance 15 and Unholy Resistance 10, she would effectively have Holy Resistance 25 and Unholy Resistance 25). In addition, she gains innate Holy Resistance 15.
Requires: Angel and Succubi domains
Costs 15XP
Requires 20 deific power

Vote 2 of 3: Sireyis Downtime actions.

What activities is Sireyi going to be getting personally involved in during downtime?

I’m limiting it to 3 activities only – Sireyi will split her time between these activities. Note that only activities with plot or tangible benefits will be considered. That she will spend time with family and friends is a given.

Likewise you *will* be spending some time with the army, your worshippers and government. Picking the option indicates a particular focus on this.

The three activities with the most votes will be used.

Suggested activities

>Create Magic Items (what?)
>Hunt storms for power
>Recruit worshippers (any plane in particular?)
>Spend time in Oreian Parliament
>Recruit/Train soldiers
>Explore the planes
>Other (what?)

Write-ins are encouraged. 15 minute voting time

Looks like recruiting and training soldiers, exploring the planes and spending time in parliament wins.

Downtime Vote 3 of 3: Allies and followers activities.

Unlike normal votes there is no limit to the number of activities. You can vote for as many as you want.

Any option with 5 or more votes will be used. The more votes an option gets, the more benefit the activity will have.

Write-ins are encouraged.

You can specify *who* is doing a thing. Or you can leave it unsaid. I will assign whomever is appropriate to any selected task if none is chosen (i.e, Jal or Aunt Anniya for sneaky stuff, Isla for magic etc).

Pure building options (Realm spending etc) are excluded for reasons.

Suggested options
>Scout out the Killing Frosts land
>Search for mining locations in Azure Empire
>Search for mining locations in Oreia
>Build diplomatic relations with nations on Dahandran (which?)
>Build diplomatic relations with nations on other planes
>Build trade with nations on Dahandran (which?)
>Build trade with nations on other planes

I'm assuming that the options involving nations on other planes refer primarily to Slag's city-state and Drache, since those are the only two (non-shitty) extraplanar nations we know of, that I can remember, at least. Maybe any non-shit nations Sireyi finds in her planar travels.

Eskia seem pretty shitty. Probably not quite as bad as the place we just were, but still pretty rotten. They even outlawed the worship of two of the good Gods.

Also, fuck, I forgot to mention Gorim as one of the nations on Dahandran to establish Trade with. Oh well, maybe they'll get hit in the splash radius of spreading religion. It would make sense given that Sireyi is a hero there (assuming it hasn't all come crumbling down horribly, that is).

I dunno, he is currently mostly watching over our kids, I think being small helps there.
I'd rather level him up when the three have grown up a bit more.
But I'm not 'against' it.

Sounds good

I'll check archive in the morning: If anons can agree then I'll go with that, if not, then I'll put it to an official vote.

Deific Power Change as a result of Succubi domain

Holy shit, is that a typo? Didn't we get 422 or something from the domain?
How much is our yearly increase then?

What.

I'm not expecting everyone to stick around and vote given that it's already quite late in a lot of places, so I'd prefer if the posting in this thread is just for feedback with the actual vote being at the start of the next, even if the opinion of those left is universally positive.

Not a typo, the I forgot to factor in the doubling vs halving thing - long story short, I screwed up on the maths the first time around.

yearly increase is 10% of max

This is under the *assumption* that we not only don't have to spend money on finding mines due to having it as one of our ally tasks but that we can't spend money to establish mines mid-year. If this is mistaken, alterations will be made.

The Loan is intended to be something that will come up in-character over the timeskip and Sireyi can choose whether to take a straight loan or to take a loan that requires no monetary repayment but does require her to establish a number of mines and give Bluey a sizeable cut of the metal.

I think I hit just about everything anons wanted, but tell me if I missed something.

Feel free to check my math, I'll probably double-check it later on just to be sure.

How come trade income is so low if we export food to an entire kingdom? Also should not deal with dragon factor in?
>>
>>40290458
That looks alright to me, I wonder about the low Social Programs, since I had estimated something much higher for the required Approval boost, but otherwise everything seems in order to me.

Thanks for your efforts, as always AA.
>>
>>40290561
>How come trade income is so low if we export food to an entire kingdom?
We export a lot of food, not for the entire kingdom mostly just Dalvin, and we definitly import a lot too.
>>
>>40290597
“We import most of our food from Oreia” observes Sofia with a laugh “as does much of Dornmer, you can’t be that hard up.”

Just saying.
>>
>>40290458
Looking at it again, I think you miscalculated on the Social programs/Taxes approval
We should have -25% approval from taxes, and with social programs 50 we only have +10%(0,2*50)

>>40290642
Yeah and we import a whole bunch, we don't really have anything producing most of the most basic stuff.
>>
>>40290642
Its also literally the only thing we are exporting.
>>
>>40290561
IIRC, it's because Sireyi is exporting the food at costs where she makes no profit in order to keep as many people alive as possible. If I'm misremembering, then who knows, that's just what the Trade is. Maybe it's represented as part of the Life domain bonus to Revenue?

For dragons, do you mean the gold mine we're splitting with Ebonsong? If so, no, we don't get the benefit from that, since her Lair is in Dalvin. Sofia gets that money currently. She'd probably give it to us if asked, but there's not much a reason to have it default to our income.

>>40290574
Simple Magic Items is cheaper (though higher upkeep and no growth boost) and gives a flat +10% bonus in addition to making our realm have a higher level of technology, so I only needed half as many Programs to break even on Approval.

>>40290719
I'm not relying solely on Programs.
>>
>>40290783
>Simple Magic Items is cheaper
Ah, I overlooked the Approval boost on that one. My bad then.

What do we need to do to spread that across the realm? Since currently its just around the Stronghold.
>>
>>40290783
>IIRC, it's because Sireyi is exporting the food at costs where she makes no profit in order to keep as many people alive as possible.
Thats accurate as I remember it.
Even if it weren't, its definitly how Sireyi would do it anyway.
>>
>>40290819
I think it's intended as a one-off purchase that you can get for your entire Realm once you've got a Mages Guild regardless of Realm Size.

If it's not, my intent is for the Stronghold to be in the center of our only city anyway, so being around the Stronghold is about the same as being our entire realm for now. Maybe. In the future, I suppose making it a universal feature of our Realm would be another upgrade, probably requiring a larger number of Guilds and Manufactories.
>>
>>40290949
I'm pretty sure Oreia got lots of smaller farming communities across the land, it seems implausible for sucha huge population to live so close together.
>>
>>40290965
Those would all be tied to our current Stronghold in regards to where they go to sell their crops, therefore they all benefit from Simple Magic Items.
>>
>>40290561
Our Trade income will definitly rise a lot over the timsekip, due to the interplanar trade we get from Slag, which raises trade by 50.

Something extremely distracting happened.

>>40292086
Continued:

Circle Trade is just about the only Trade focused upgrade that Sofia can anywhere close to afford, so money is mostly going to be going for Defence and Military upgrades from this point on.

I considered giving Sofia her own personal Airship (or two) instead of Circle Trade this year but...decided against it. Next year, maybe. I don't want Sofia to have that kind of firepower before exploding at Konig once she finds out about...basically anything from Littlest Palading. Even if it would solve the corruption problem.

Bluey has a very large amount of gold and number of strongholds and I'm kinda tired, so I'll be doing that later.
>>
>>40292159
>Bluey has a very large amount of gold and number of strongholds and I'm kinda tired, so I'll be doing that later

Is bluey trying to hammer the various tribes into something approaching an actual kingdom, instead of collection of tribes?
>>
>>40292232
Her entire conquest is all about being able to kill the Lord of Life; she needs the tribes united as a proper Realm in order for them to be useful for that end. So yes, I'd say that her intentions are to do so, along with making them advance in military tactics and technology.

Sushi isn't pizza, captcha.
>>
>>40292338

Still a mess to do. Hammering tribal societies into a nation takes a lot of work, time and may never be done (see modern Afganistan). Bluey at least is able to fit the charismatic strongman archetype that can hold them together though.

Figure some sort of Federal type situation will be the solution, where each tribe handles it's own internal affairs, sends some resources to Bluey and the Federal government largely mediates between the tribes. Would not really be a parliment or congress, just likely infrequent tribal meets.
>>
>>40292548

Probably be some Imperial cities who report directly to the central government, that is where the various infrastructure that Bluey wants would go of coarse.
>>
>>40292086
Would we be able to make a magic item that lets Sofia copy our sanctuary?

Ok what have I missed? Most of our people can fly and you think heavy armor is going to help us so I must have missed something because every time I question something you put forward you have an answer for it.

Dalvin has 131% Approval (I know it can't go over 100% really but still) we should look into using that wiggle room if we need it.

Hmmh, if we buy Black Dragons could that be later be upgraded to Dragons?

Well, we should buy up Storms ASAP.

Storms are awesome since we could conjure them as well as dismiss them. Draught? Have a storm with some heavy rain. Need to sneak up or fight somone? Have a storm to make a racket, make soldiers misserable with mud and rain and all that.

Need to have a Port blockaded? Hit them with a windy storm that blows constant waves in the Harbor.


But I really hope we get something for life, joy, liberty or something similar.

One thing we should consider is the makeup and directives of priesthood, paladins and such.

Considering that most are succubi, for some reason I think the Priests sometimes dabble if not go full on as psychologists, or sex therapeuts, as seen with the lost Paladin and the Beltnotchers.

It is in end effect something that was done by priests and is probably their domain looking out for the health of the congregation beyond just the physical or purely spiritual, but for some reason i think Succubi are just a little bit better at it, what with reading people and all that.

Now that we however have Succubi as domain would some of those Succubi powers be able to be bestowed onto our own clergy? Allowing our priests and paladins similar abilities to succubi even if they are not?

At any rate with Succubi as a domain, converting other succubi should be a big thing for us, and seeing to that they in turn try to convert others around them. Drache, would be the main testbed and then perhaps other planes where succubi are present and unaware, kind of like a underground resistance and rebelion movement.

Up until now it was the forces of darkness invading and corrupting planes. Now its time to turn the tables.

The Liberation of the Succubi from tyranical overlords is at hand!

This however might make succubi a bit unappealing for summoning by acting like some form of Jehowas Whitness probably to even wizzards. Not that wizzards would say no, since it swaps one kind of sales pitch for deamons and devils for another, a angel godes of joy, love and liberty that has a soft spot for succubi.
