You know that image would be perfect to put on some kind of minted currency

>>41503401
We were a human woman named Sarah, who lived in an Earth-like world, died, and was reincarnated as an Arachne in another world.

Through a one in a billion fluke, we remember (most of) our past life.

Now, we go on High Adventures and have fun with our friends, while we get used to our new life as an unstoppable Apex Predator from Nightmare and Legend.

Dealing with the moth monarchist!

Writing!

>>41503401
The original or the quest?

I want to know what new powers Lyra has

>Elemental Control (Fire EX): Rank 6
>EX
What's that mean, exactly? Just that it's super fire that's better than any normal fire has any right to be at rank 6?

Been thinking about weapons. Several times now, our monstrous strength has crushed our spear in our grip or bent it out of shape.

That was mostly fine before, our Forge powers let us fix it no problem.

But it's going to be different now. Our already freakish strength has reached ridicules new heights. We're going to turn that thing into a pretzel the first time we swing it in anger.

We need a new weapon. One forged out of incredibly strong (possibly magic) alloys that can stand up to our treatment. We need to work on one the next chance we get.

That brings up our old spear. More specifically, the Lightening Stone and its setting. I say we cut off the excess and reshape it into a sword for Nin.

Nin is by far the most vulnerable of our group, being a valuable kidnapping target and all. So having a sword that can shoot magic lightening seems like a good idea.

>>41503711
Luck: Rank ?
Things seem to go in firebirds' favour....

Don't know I'm far more interested in this

Hey REQM, when are you gonna update Jin and Shezzy's profiles?

>>41503711
>Elemental Control: Ice EX Rank 9
>She has figured out how to blow a stream of cold air, now! Can flash freeze things around her, or maintain an aura of cold. She can even run on water now, her powers freezing the liquid before her feet touch down. With her new evolution, her cold powers have grown explosively- Things like flash freezing bodies of water or even calling a blizzard aren't beyond her.
Sheszka strong.

>>41503735
Its probably going to be a long time until we reach the city and have the material for reforging available.
Once we are there, we should definitly spend some time making new weapons, not just for Lyra.

>>41503762
He already has.

>>41503735
How about we don;t bequeath the queen's weapons to moth monarchists

>>41503762
While you voted on the OP!
HAHA!

>>41503762
Going by the edit history, 12 minutes ago.

>>41503771
It looks like only Sheszka and Lyra got new Blessings though.

>>41503735
>We need a new weapon.
My vote goes for a metal rod with a block of metal the size of a car on the end.

>>41503711
It's a stronger version of the skill that's still at the relatively low level it was previously at, because it was merely upgraded through evolution and not levelled up through training.
The hell is there not to get about it?

>>41503788
I can't help but notice that Sheszka apparently doesn't speak Plainspeech.

>>41503827
>The hell is there not to get about it?
It could just as easily be a advanced form of the skill overall.

>>41503827
Damn. How long has that been missing?
I need to add elfspeech to everyone, too.

>>41503850
Jins Amulet also still has the entry of "Not hers just yet"

>>41503850
Is our steel silk going to be noted on our charsheet somewhere?

Another question; Could Lyra meld the river metal from her first glaive with her pure metal magic spear?

>>41503735
We could fill our spear with our metal thread. That stuff will be amazingly strong. Arrange it in the spear in hexagonal shape and it should withstand our strength.

>>41503883
>We could fill our spear with our metal thread.
Then it would still bend.

>>41503893
That depends on the property's of the webbing. Does it harden? or could we make it harden? etc.

We know our webbing will be extra strong. Its also easily on hand to experiment with.

>>41503850
Pretty sure Lann got clothing from Elle before we left too, if you want to fill in missing things. Although admittedly that doesn't matter nearly as much right now.

>>41503916
>That depends on the property's of the webbing.
If it were so hard that it would keep the spear from bending, which is unlikely, then it would be so brittle it would break with a sufficiently strong hit and the thing would still bend.

And thats assuming we even go through the effort of weaving a net this dense inside the spear, which even with metalbending is a pretty big effort compared to just making a better spear.

>>41503871
I think that one was answered a long time ago. We can alloy the rivermetal with other metals, but then it loses its supernatural qualities, so there's not much point.

>>41503883
Better, we could put a hook with a thread attached to it at the tip of our spear and have a line attached to anything we stab with it

>>41503942
>go through the effort of weaving a net this dense inside the spear
Besides having a hollow blade generally not being a great idea.

Yo guys, if we have such control over our chitin, couldn't we attempt to make weapons out of it?

Also WOOT! Hive queen and spider quest today!

>>41503981
In case the bears try to run away?

So, Mom has 'Motherly Concern; Rank 35' and seemingly gained a total of 4 levels through crying...
Oh, and she has set out on a new adventure with Dad...

>>41504007
>if we have such control over our chitin
We don't have much control over our chitin. We only have a ability that lets us grow a super-chitin armour.

Though its not impossible there is something to let us grow chitin weapons too.

>>41504016
That is already there for a long time, since we left the forest actually.
You need to see dads and Lanns entries.

Sara and Aria have left the forest already too.

>>41504016
>she has set out on a new adventure with Dad

>>41504024
The question is, can we grow spiked armor? If we can grow spiked armor we can fight dwarvish beserker style, which basically involves throwing yourself bodily at the enemy and moving around a lot with the intent of leaving your enemy as little more than a smear on your armor.

>>41503942
Hence the hexagram arrangement, since that is one of if not the best load bearing shape.

>>41503976
I wonder if imbedding would work.

Instead of alloying, put the river metal in Tiny strips/rods in the metal of the blade head. The natural difference in wear and tear property of the two metals should make it serrated with use. Allowing the effects of both metal types to affect the opponent at a reduced efficiency than the pure.

REQM, didn't Dad already modify and return Jin's magic Amulet? the Pastebin still has it listed as 'Not hers just yet'...

>>41504059
>Hence the hexagram arrangement, since that is one of if not the best load bearing shape
Higher load bearing ability doesn't actually help here. It would help against the spear breaking a lot, but not against the spear bending.

>>41504072
Hmm. But in the case of it bending, wouldn't we just reshape it again anyway?
Since our power seems to be ask the material to take on a certain form, its not a very concentration consuming ability.

>>41504072
>but not against the spear bending
I guess self-correction here, it would certainly prevent from bending beyond a certain extent, but it would still bend enough to be inconvenient in a fight, especially since we would need to reforge the webbing too.

>>41503976
If so then that just means we need to increase our smithy skills even higher so the God of the Forge will go "Fine! Do what you want!"

>>41504094
>wouldn't we just reshape it again anyway?
After the fight certainly, but the original anon had suggested making something new that doesn't bend at all, well or at least not more so than a spear should.
And in a fight were it really matters using our ability to reshape the spear can definitly matter.

Otherwise we could just throw away the spear and use our spear-like legs.

oh god it's early and I just woke up. what are we talking about.
Weapon design? Jeez, that's too much for me this early on.

Have we ever eaten a cake?

>>41504132
It sounds like we really need to trade some of our silk or silk goods for a suitable weapon core metal, like mithral or adamantine or some such.

>>41504144
>Have we ever eaten a cake?
Lyra probably has in her human life. But our companions most likely haven't, given how hard one is to make with the settings tech level.

Another thing for the list.

>>41504158
Its probably what we are going to have to do.

Either that or we trade our service/silk against someone showing us a good place to search for deposits, since getting the metal out of the earth would be trivially easy for Lyra.

>>41504161
Making cakes is easy anon. The only tech you need is an oven and to be able to make butter.

Access to suger as well, but thats more trade links than tech.

>>41504174
>Making cakes is easy anon.
Yes, but transporting the various ingredients across days of travel distance, let alone a entire cake, is pretty damn hard and expensive with their technology, meaning lack of preservation and fast travel technology.

>>41504094
>in the case of it bending, wouldn't we just reshape it again anyway?

That's what we've currently been doing, but the problem is, we've just gained a MONSTROUS strength boost. We could very easily twist the thing into a slinky now, or just snap off half of it. Not a quick fix that we could multi-task while in the middle of serious combat.

Just repairing our weapon each time isn't enough. We need a weapon that won't fail in the first place.

A thought occurs: we should really send mom the occasional letter while on our journey. You know, just to let her know we are okay and keep in touch a little. Perhaps downplay or skip on telling her the things that would just worry her more. Including info on our evolution would possibly cause rage, so that's a no-no.

Doesn't the adventurer's guild have a system for mail? Or heck, Jin is so fast now she could probably go home and back inside a day easy.

>>41504198
We would need to find a wizard to enchant said letters to make their way to her, or we would have no chance.

Plus the confusion of getting winged letters flying at her every month or so would make me smile.

>>41504198
yeah, the guild does.
We'll totally send ol' ma letters.
what worries me is her not recieving them, as she is busy exploring ancient forest ruins.

>>41504226
>or we would have no chance
I'm fairly sure we arranged sending letters over the adventurer guild.

You take a breath and blow it back out, relaxing ever so slightly before you try to calm your friend down.

"Nin?"
"My Lady!"
"I am not a Queen, Nin."
"I know. But it won't catch on if nobody does it, right?"
"I rather like being called Lyra, yes?"

She flops onto your shoulder, her chin across your collarbone, resting her head against your neck.
You try to resist twitching or giggling as her antennae brush against your ears, one hand clenching reflexively.

"I just want... I don't know. Can I see your crown?"
"Maybe later. Where other people can't."

She prods at your cheek with one delicate finger, her other arm wrapped around you like a hug.
"They'll look at you like that anyway, you know?"
"They'll- Wha?"
"You don't even notice, do you?"
"I notice lots of things, yes. I have six eyes."

She giggles next to you, her hand moving from your cheek to her other arm, completing the hug.
"Oh? Did you notice that everyone follows you?"
"People don't..."
"They listen to you, don't they? And ask for your opinion. And if you're doing something, they follow along."

You fall quiet, and try very hard to remember the last time you followed someone else. Someone that wasn't your mother.

"Ah! I follow Jin. And Sheskza, yes? When we are hunting."
"You order Jin and Sheszka to find you things to hunt."
"That- That is something different."

You weren't really planning on losing this argument.

"Anyway-"
"Anyway?"
"You still haven't told us what kind of Arachne you are."
"Um."

Her grin reaches her ears.
"Lyyyyyyra-"
"I think that is something private, yes."

She grabs your ears.

>>41504198
>we should really send mom the occasional letter while on our journey.

Already ahead of you Anon.

We made arrangements with all our family to keep in touch via Guild drop-off. We can leave messages for Mom and Aria at the Guild and all our family can leave them for us.

>>41504231
>what worries me is her not recieving them
As long as she sends letters home where she will be going next, Elle can make sure our letters reach mom.

>>41504241
"I wanna know!"
"Ah- cheater! This is cheating!"
"Tell me!"
"Never!"
"Yes!"

"Fine! Fine!"
"I won't give- Oh." Her defiance dies down and she settles behind you again, though she hasn't let go of your ears yet.
"But."
"But?"

"No calling me Queen, yes."
"Nnnng. I won't call you Queen in front of other people. But lady is till fair game!"
"No your majesty either."
"Fine."

"I am a Tyrant Arachne, yes."

She humms softly to herself as she processes that, muttering under her breath.

"What?"
"Well, it is good. But not good? People won't want to follow a Tyrant. They will, but they won't want to."
"I'm not going to force anyone to do anything, yes."
She pats your hair, a soft laugh joining the breeze.

"I know that. Well, I'll think of something. You don't need to worry at all!"

And just like that, you're worrying again.

>It's still the afternoon, but there's something ahead on the road...
>Plot vengeance against the harpy.
>Snake Workouts.
>Other (?)

Even if she is off adventuring, she still might check in with the guild and discover she has mail waiting. Could also leave letters with Lia or anyone else she is more likely to run into.

>>41504261
>It's still the afternoon, but there's something ahead on the road...
You keep giving us mystery boxes.

>>41504261
>Snake Workouts.

Come on Ezzy, your falling behind. Today you will be working on Agility. Use you size to your advantage.

>It's still the afternoon, but there's something ahead on the road...
Mystery box also demands attention...

>>41504333
Still not a queen though. Having said that, being called your eminence or what ever the empress honorific is, still going to be bad.

I was thinking... Lyra has the blessing of the god of forge and the god of rule. When is she going to see the dwarves? They are going to love her.

what about the caravan leader? we follow him.

>It's still the afternoon, but there's something ahead on the road...
>Plot vengeance against the harpy.
>Snake Workouts.
check out thing, if it's nothing get the snake to do things and have Nin join here to keep her busy as well. While those two work out plot revenge on the harpy.

>>41504365
>what about the caravan leader? we follow him.
When did we follow him?
He has hired us, and even then we mostly do things on our own. Like when we decided to sweep the forest of bandits.

I am surprised we didn't tell nin we were a hearth arachne.
It's not like she would know the difference.

>>41504360
Empress is still a Queen though. Just one that has come to rule more than just her original domain.

>>41504261
>It's still the afternoon, but there's something ahead on the road...

Our grandparents are probably going to keel over in shock when we meet them. Their monster-kind granddaughter has the blessings of the God of Rule, all because he ran away from their arranged marriage.

The only way it could be funnier is if they tried to do the same for us. Then we're forced to claim Nin as our lover out of desperation.

>>41504382
Shit shes right we are to strong willed as everyone before was too afraid to tell us what to do or believed we knew what we are doing and now we are to scary to be told what to do and we mostly do know what to d most of the time. It's a self fulfilling cycle of leaderlyness

>>41504363
>we accidentally fulfill some ancient prophesy and walk away as the new dwarven king

>>41504409
>all because he ran away from their arranged marriage
That was Lann who ran away from a arranged marriage, Dad just set off to adventure.

>>41504382
I'm mostly thinking of when he yells at us for getting into a shouting match with his wife and for shaking a halfling to hard and fooling her into thinking we were about to eat her

>>41504425

We are earth/metal benders.
Chances are high we fulfill prophecy.

Moth works too.

>>41504518
Assuming the dwarves are famous for smithing and not root-worshiping druids.

>>41504548
That's just pointlessly contrarian. You may as well just create a completely new race instead of rebranding an existing one just to be different.

>>41504548
They at least have a reputation as warriors, and I'm fairly sure it was said somewhere their smithing is pretty famous too.

>>41504425
>accidentally fulfill some ancient prophesy

"Be happy, for i art verily slain the beast"
and there was much feasting and merryment
upon which she left to face more terrors

Good god we've immortalized Nin.....

Do we have any, like, pots or pans?
I sort of want to batter and fry things because I crave carnie food a lot and thus will make lyra eat it.

>>41504363
She only has 2 of the 3 needed to encounter dwarves. She needs the blessing of the god of booze.

>>41505250
That's what Nin is for.

>>41505141
We've made rock plates and stone buckets. So, yeah, we have pots and pans if we need them.

>>41505141
>Do we have any, like, pots or pans?
We got armour we don't need anymore. So, yeah we practically do.

>>41505329
I'd like to keep the chest piece so we can avoid having boobchitinarmor later on when the tabard gets caught on fire.

>>41505367
>so we can avoid having boobchitinarmor
Our chitin armour isn't boob armour to begin with.

>>41505329
>>41505367
Its still a good idea to keep our old armor. Its not like its effectiveness has been reduced or anything.
We might need to resize it to fit with the chitin armor though.

I wonder if we can get a see through veil for our spider half when we do dress's and such.

>>41505407
>Its still a good idea to keep our old armor.
Not really, we got a better armour we can conjure on command, putting the old one over the new one is kinda counterproductive and limits movability.

There is no reason to keep the old one except to forge it into something for someone else.

>>41505435
One word.

Enchantment.

>>41505453
>Enchantment.
Our armour isn't enchanted. And at that point we would be better off making a compeltly new one.

And that is assuming this armour doesn't have its own magic properties.

>>41505435
>There is no reason to keep the old one except to forge it into something for someone else.
well armor can still be enchanted to make it more useful, natural armor not so much. Could use old armor to experiment on if we find ourselves some free time and someone to teach us how to enchant things.

>>41505471
>Our armour isn't enchanted.
You say that like it never will be.

>>41505275
Nin is only capable of fizzy drinks, not quite booze yet.

>>41505453
We a.) don't have ready access to armour enchantments, they would b.) need a new armour anyway and c.) thats assuming those enchantments could make that armour better than our chitin armour which would be assuming REQM gave us a useless ability, which is kinda ridiculous.

>>41505489
>natural armor not so much
Its already natrually magic, it would need to be proven a hypothetical enchantment could make the other one better.

>>41505489
You need both Internal and External Mana Control for enchanting.

Can we possibly alter existing enchantments, or is it a more RIP AND TEAR sort of thing? I'm not sure of Lyra's control and limits there.

>>41505489
If armour enchantment like that would be easily possible then our father would have already offered to make it for us.

There's something up ahead, which you suppose means you have work to do.

But for now, there's at least two lazy people on you in dire ned of a workout.
So-

You'll just combine it, then.

Nin only offers you a weird look when you drop her next to you as the wagons slow to a crawl.
And her expression gets more confused as you rummage beneath your skull, finally emerging with a tight coil of snoozing snake.

Thankfully, it only takes a few seconds of effort to get the reptile up and running.

Her jaw stretches impressively wide as she yawns, fangs shimmering in the noon sun.
"Ahhhhhh- Lyra? Y'loo- You look bigger."
"I got bigger, yes?"
"Eh- You did? What?"
"Here."

You loop the snake over Nin's arm, much to both girls' growing confusion.
"Wha?"
"Lyra?"

"You both need exercise, yes."
Nin just blinks, but Ezzy is already making a 'here we go again' face.
"And with that in mind, I have a contest!"

"A... contest?"
"Yes."
"Why?" Nin inquires.

"Because I thought it would be fun, yes? Whoever wins gets a prize."
They both shrug.
You scowl.

"Fine then, yes. Whoever loses gets punished."
Oh, now they're paying attention.

"Nin, You have to get Ezzy off of you- Ezzy, you have to stay on, yes. No biting, no dust, now powers. Go!"

Nin immediately grabs for the snake- But she's already gone, shooting up her arm even as the moth dances around, hands grasping at air.
Despite the undoubtedly amusing show they'll be putting on, you head for the caravan's front.

Its almost like people are ignoring the fact another layer of Armor is still, at the end of it, Armor. For a very minor movement penalty, which we have trained around, we get two sturdy layers, instead of sole reliance on one.

>>41505534

>>41505552

Kenzington is front and centre, and there appears to be a sizeable amount of gold changing hands- There's a simple frame, a pair of booths- Ah.
A toll?

The caravan's head spots you and waves you off with a laugh.
"We are getting close now, yeah? A day or two from the city."
You nod happily.

The guard glances from his hellish little hut, and the blood immediately drains from his face- He starts trying to say something, but he can't seem to force the words out.

Kenzington taps him on the head a few times before he faces him again, and shakes his head.
"She's a guard'n an adventurer, lad. Don't think about it too hard."

You frown and roll your eyes, heading back to your post. You aren't that scary. You don't eat people or anything.
"Haaaah haaaah- Gerroff!"
"Never sssssurrender!"

Well, the show should be worthwhile, anyway.

"Fit perfect to your shape" just means it fits her perfecly like a armour should, I'm absolutely certain if it would trace her breasts Lyra would have noted that and would have been very emberassed about it right from the start.

Besides that it would make it incredibly shitty armor.

>>41505568
>Plot your punishment and reward. (Suggestions?)

How is that any evidence to that? If he asked if she was naked "beneath" the armour?

And making plate-armour that has boobs is kind of not really possible.

>>41505732

>>41505519
>thats assuming those enchantments could make that armour better than our chitin armour which would be assuming REQM gave us a useless ability, which is kinda ridiculous.

No, the possibility of getting something better in the future does not make what we have now useless. At all.

Not that I think high-end enchantments like that would just grow on trees, but it couldn't hurt to keep an eye out.

>captcha thinks I can't identify bread

>>41505849
>Not that I think high-end enchantments like that would just grow on trees, but it couldn't hurt to keep an eye out.
Still no reason to keep the old armor then, if we get access to enchantment we would want to put it on a better new armor instead.

>>41505843
>Who cares, we're a giant metal spider
We are not actually a metal spider, we only got a little bit of metal in the tips of our legs/finger.

And clearly Lyra and everyone else cares, since a lot of thought was put into making her old armor work practically, so its obvious it does actually matter here.

>>41505843
I care, I want to know what our armour looks like.

The reason why the armor isn't specified in shape is because of boob-plate vs realism arguments. Sperglords gotta sperg.

>>41505967
No, the reason is REQM is often sparse in details and hasn't explained it yet.
No one has a realism argument, we just don't know what it looks like.

>>41506012
yeah, I'm the guy who brought it up in the first place and I'd be fine with it being realistic.
I'm just under the impression it's the other way.

>>41506012
>we just don't know what it looks like.

Yeah, the new OP art is beautiful, and totally the image Nin is going to mint on coins in the future, but I hope he makes another picture eventually, showing the whole spider.

>>41506050
>I'm just under the impression it's the other way.
Eh, might be. I went on the assumptiom its more practical armor because of how much detail went into our old one to make it practical, but it could be boobplate.
We'll have to wait until REQM answers the question.

Alright, caught up

Is it really boobplate if the "boob" is smaller than the decorative nipples on some real armour?

>>41506166
Lyra has a pretty noticeable bust though.
It might be that they are smaller on the armour than in reality, or it mjight be monoboob, or just flat concave plane like normal and everything else is just very tightly fit.
We just dunno.

>>41506163

They aren't helped by more armour in the front, for them we would need to attach shields to our side like a dragonship, so they can take cover behind them.

>I hope we can take up grilling.
Aren't we doing that all the time?
All we need is more ingredients.

You hold position, as hard as it is.
It shouldn't be much longer now till you're relieved, thank gods.

And everyone on this side of the caravan gets to enjoy the show.

Nin is running back and forth, sometimes hopping into the air for a few flutters of her wings, panting and wheezing.
All the running probably isn't helping detach Ezzy, either.

The snake for her part, is competing properly- clinging to limbs rather than trying to hide under clothing, though that'd be funny in its on way.
As it is, watching Nin roll around on the ground wrestling with her own ankle is hilarious.

The caravan is under way by the time a winner is declared- The moth raising the limp body of her scaly victim overhead, her own arms trembling under the minute weight of your friend.

Both of them are boneless heaps when they reach you, simply lying across you wherever they can find room and concentrating on breathing or guzzling water from your shield.

Nin throws herself across the space behind you, lying their with her arms and legs trailing after she hands over the snake- You retract a bit of armour from your throat, leaving enough room to wrap the exhausted competitor around your neck.

Punishment- and reward, you suppose- can come later. When they're conscious enough to appreciate them. Maybe you can let Nin ask for something appropriate. Or pat her head.
Though who that's a reward for might be up in the air.

As for Ezzy, maybe more training? She'll probably do it all on her own after losing to Nin, anyway.

You nod briefly to yourself, satisfied with your decision.

We do. REQM talked about that in the ask a long time ago. As I understand it, there 'are' hybrids that somehow can get both, but we aren't that.
We are pretty much completly arachne with some minor elf traits.

>>41506492
Ah, okay, thanks. I must have missed that ask.

But we should still stock up on grilling spices and sauces once we reach the city.

>>41506534
>But we should still stock up on grilling spices and sauces once we reach the city.
Sauces probably not so much, since they would spoil fast, might be better to just learn how to make them.

>We're going to singlehandedly cause a spike in the meat trade and pork futures market, aren't we?
Mostly by depopulating the local wildlife and make meat hard to get yeah.

>>41506574
And thus begins RE:Economics quest

>>41506574
That brings up a question. How many things in the wild reproduce and grow stupidly fast? I imagine an arachnae forest goes through a lot of meat..

>>41506574
>since they would spoil fast
Couldn't we have Sheszka keep them cool?
Or, like, put the sauces in jars, and then the jars in barrels of ice that Sheszka refreezes periodically?

We would need to buy or rent our own wagon at that point, but it might be worth it.

>>41506617
>rent our own wagon
But then who would have to pull it?
us, that's who.

>>41506592
So whats our Mothia called, will it reflect the many different races we have.

>>41506592
We are likely going to barter and trade a lot in the city if we do even half the stuff we want to.
Selling silk, pelts, bones, dust and services in masses to afford all the spices, metals and magic stones we are going to need.

>>41506617
>Or, like, put the sauces in jars, and then the jars in barrels of ice that Sheszka refreezes periodically?
That would help them to last longer, but would require awkward amounts of maintance since Sheszka would have to constantly keep the barrels frozen.
Seems like a lot of effort for sauces, when instead we could just periodically re-stock them from taverns on the way.

>>41506603
>I imagine an arachnae forest goes through a lot of meat..
Probably, thats why they got all the rules on maintaining a minimum distance between nests.
I imagine if Niallas brood wouldn't have decided to move out on their own we would have had problems in a few years.

>>41506651

>damnit captcha. I'm hungry. stop making me select ALL THE FOOD. Also, i'm drawing

>>41506603
>I imagine an arachnae forest goes through a lot of meat..

Yeah, Arachne have to live spread out in small families or alone to prevent over-hunting. It's an issue.

But I imagine a world where Monsters are a thing, evolution/the Gods/whatever would have done something to keep the balance.

Hell, we know normal animals can evolve into monster animals. The rabbits, bears, wolves, crabs and other things we encountered prove that. REQM even said Dire-Chicken are a thing. Them evolving into more powerful forms probably has greater effects than just making them stronger. Wouldn't be surprised if it did things to their reproduction rate or growth rate of their young.

I am personally more curious about what the heck is going on in the desert.
It is allegedly chock full of monsters, and spiders rapid-evolve up to third tier (or get ded)

But what do all those gribblies EAT? There is no basic food chain foundation - the plants are scarce! They can't just eat each other because that is not 100% efficient energy and matter preserving process, it's a downward spiral on running out of shit.

>>41506821
>It is allegedly chock full of monsters, and spiders rapid-evolve up to third tier (or get ded)
Wasn't it more that it has a lot of very strong monster? Population density can still be low and the average monster strength just high, largely because the one sthat don't manage to get strong die.

>>41506821
>how do they EAT?
They must eat sandworms.

>>41506821
I remember a future series which showed millipede like creatures that moved around to absorb the sunlight through their photosynthetic "leaves".
Maybe they exist here? Would add another producer to the food-chain.

>>41506862
Still there should be some more basic critters! For the population of high level mobs to renew itself it needs newbier mobs that will eat each other to grow!

>>41506821
There's also the monsters that might not eat traditional food there. Elemental monsters? Might live on sunlight. Or eat certain rocks or something. It's magic.

>>41506910
>Still there should be some more basic critters!
The basic critters are the ones that get eaten before they grow large and strong.
Of course then you would need a relateively strong reproduction which means a lot of necessary biomass again... So, maybe they got magic hypernourishing cacti?

>>41506866
Well then they must be sand-diggers
>you know, to get to the worms

>>41506821
One word:

MAGIC

Or there could be photosynthetic monsters that provide a base of food. And the reason that there are so many strong monsters there could be that the competition for available resources is so great

If I remember the map right, the desert stretches to the coast and has a huger coastline, so that seems very plausible either way.
And biomass just basically travels inward from the ocean into the interor of the dessert through migrating animals.

I'm so salty I walked into radio shack and got arrested for asSalt and battery.

Maybe the dessert has a lot of underground caves and rivers and all the life is in there. And maybe the strongest monsters sometimes go to the surface to hunt or something.

>>41507335
I'm pretty sure that REQm had said the continent has a Underdark that basically extends beneath the entire continent, not too sure about it being likely to have enough entrances in a desert, but in the few places it might and would be another contribution.

Maybe the desert is chock full of giant flying monsters like Cliff Racers?

>>41507145
>Doesn't mean that REQM can't adopt the idea of warring desert city-states using monsters as soldier-citizens.

O- oh, God of Rule. What- What if we find a region that really is that fucked up. The people running the City States are idiots, selfish dicks, or both.

They constantly war against each other over the stupidest of reasons. Destroy the lives of countless people as collateral damage with no regard.

I mean, Lyra is a nice person. She couldn't just leave things like that. She couldn't just turn her back on the situation without trying to fix things.

And Nin would be the first to point out the obvious solution. If the people in charge are the problem, then someone else will need to take over.

A Benevolent Tyrant will need to seize power and enforce peace and order......

I've been thinking of something on that vein. Except we keep encountering 'savage' intelligent monsters that we just keep beating and kinda ruling. Eventually we're the tyrant of a whole bunch of kobolds, ratkin, lizards, pest-like or orclike monsters. weird end, but we'd keep them in check.

Alright, I'm back and fighting off the food coma.

Writing resumes!

Slime bro is a bro so far. Did he go super edgy in the novel or something?

>>41507417
I can hear the masturbation from here, but at least he isn't likely to gain a harem anytime soon. That's when you know the entire things about to turn into a massive autofellating, self-congratulary session.

>>41507496
Pretty sure he died as a man. And he reincarnated as a slime. He may be asexual right now, but mark my words, the first chance he gets to turn humanoid, that form is going to have a dick.

You mean ~9 posts before saging.

The humanoid form he later acquires looks like a little girl but does not actually have genitals.

Motherfucker

doesn't he have a human form? a female/androgynous one?

>I wouldn't want the quest to get bogged down in playing Civ or worse Crusader Kings.

Considering it took 100 threads just to get past the prologue and start the actual adventure, a change in format every now and again could be good.

It would keep things from getting stale. Maybe another hundred threads from now, we'll transition into an Adventure/Civ builder Quest while we establish order over a collection of City States or whatever, then, 50 - 100 threads after that we can hand off control to the people then get back on the road.

Guess we'll see what direction REQM wants to take things/what people vote for when the time comes.

>50 - 100 threads after that we can hand off control to the people then get back on the road
Thats what I meant with getting "bogged down", if its just a temporary change, that could be interesting. But it could also easily lead to the quest getting even more glacial in pacing, which would be bad.
And frankly, empire building in quests is... challenging.

>>41507484
Once again too many things trapped in the webs REQM? Greedy spider.

Or where an anon posting as hitler said to kill shezka for her pelt when we first captured her.

someone give me a description of lyra's arms plz. She has fluff on her chitin, right? like, near the elbow?

>>41507837

Wait. That isn't still the plan?

>>41507908
Fluff where the chitin ends and her elf arm begins, when using fire it turns to look like fire.

>>41507916
did you think we were cultivating sheszka's fur?

>>41507928

Well, barring our most recent evolution, there certainly would have been enough to make a bitchin' fur coat.

>>41507908
Armour-like chitin up to above the elbow. 'Armlets' of fur around her biceps where the chitin meets flesh.

>>41507999
>'Armlets' of fur around her biceps
Nah, just around the ellbow

>>41507999

A bit around the waist. A bit around the elbow and each wrist. Also, her legs are like molten earth slowly fading into her previous natural red. Speaking of, is she still red?

someone describe Lyra's shirt thing

>>41508148
Just google tabard

Hey Lamb! Wizardy Lizards when?

You switch sides, moving through the line of wagons and terrifying horses.
Cake should be on the other side somewhere.

Well, you'd also like to check on your yeti-wolf.

So you aim yourself for the healer's wagon, and keep an eye out for the halfling.
Or six.

It doesn't take much for you to run into her, making her way to the adventurers' wagon.

You decide to skip over the 'awkward embarrassment' stage, and go right for the apology bit.

"Cake!"
"Eh- Ah!"
"Hello, yes."
"Hi."

You take a breath, and launch into your apology.
And she does the same.

"Sorry, I was just-" "I didn't really mean to say-" "And with the crown, yes-" "I'm just kinda scared of spiders, sorry."
"What?"
"Huh?"

You square off, standing quietly and waiting for the other to start again. You open your mouth, and so does she.
You shut yours and wait, and so does she.

"You first." "Go ahead."
"Be my guest?"
"No, no, I was the one who-"

"Should we just agree that we are both idiots, yes?"
"Probably. Kenzington already said it."
"Mhm."

"Uh- I do wanna say, though- I know you wouldn't eat me, alright? I just get weirded out by spiders."
"That is fine, yes."
"It's all the clicking and the eyes and poison. I had nightmares of being tied up and eaten."
"It's fine. Everyone is afraid of something. I am afraid of trains, yes? I had nightmares as a child."

"Trains?"

"It- It is nothing. I am going to go see Sheszka, yes. I am glad we had the chance to talk."
"Me too. I, uh. I promise not to scream again if you grab."

tabards are long, sleeveless shirts that generally held some form of heraldry. ours is blank and undyed, however.

You nod and she heads off sheepishly, while you make a beeline for the appropriate wagon.
Thinking about it, you're very glad you didn't have arachnophobia in your past life.
That would have made growing up very strange, you think.

The wagon is quiet as usual- The lady manning it is a bit quick to punish people making noise, so even the adventurers are careful around it.
You wave to her before you poke your head through the back.

Sheszka is the same as you left her- sleeping gently, her arm folded across her chest in a sling, sticks holding it straight.
You're sure that broken or not, shed be able to snap the sticks like, well, twigs, but it's good to see her resting properly and healing.
And hopefully Nin's treatment speeds it up further.

You smile and reach back to pat the moth's head, and she murmurs gently, half-conscious after her workout.

>>Go hunting for a mostly empty wagon. Even you deserve a break, right?
note: this will fail, so I am going to include a second option.
>Find someone to bug with questions about the city!

I don't know which subordinates we'd be helping, or with what, so I'm not picking that one just yet.

We have metal summoning, metal bending, and spider silk for straps.
