Miellewds-guy here.

Do you happen to know how much mana the crystal that Lyann's been carrying around has stored now?
We were going to use it as the core of our masterpiece golem.

Having decided to have automatons dedicated to help summarize and catalogue the information in the, quite honestly humanogous, archives of the keep crypts, we go back to the manor to check on the children.

As in, Athena, Zoe, Frederick, Alrong, Portia, Zoe, and the harpies, who happen to be all already in bed after their pajama party...

Uhmm... we need to carry them to bed, I guess?

Uhm, honoestly I lost track, but let's just assume it should be a ludicrous number by now. About as much as twice our own mp pool, being conservative.

Can constructs read and write significantly faster than Eldric?
Is their memory able to recall things perfectly?

Does Sbastia, or Asmund, have the designs and theory for connecting multiple constructs together, like their mana collection machine, so that we can build a central control golem and then multiple drone golems to speed up the rate at which the archives are read into a central data bank?

>Can constructs read and write significantly faster than Eldric?
I would say no, but since that would be their only job and they dont need to stop, it would still be faster if you compare how much they can read on a whole day compared to how much Eldric can read on the same day

>Is their memory able to recall things perfectly?
I would say yes, but its limited and they'd need extra storage, kind of like outside storage. I think its better if they get a index showing where those HDs are

That sounds doable, sure

***

Uhm, the harpies are pretty soft as bedding, it seems. Our siblings quite happily cuddle up to them in their sleep.

That looks really really warm, you know? Feathers are pretty good against cold.

Heh, the harpies sleep completely relaxed.

Lyann is messing around a little bit by picking Rosa's hand and playing with her fingers without having her wake up.

These girls are way too relaxed and trusting, I think...

Well, Zoe somehow realized it is us, and now she doesn't wants to let go. She's still asleep though. I think.

"Hnnya... I wanna stay with brother..." -she whines softly as we carry her to bed and lower her between Athena and a harpy.

When we give her a smooch on the forehead, she lets go to feel where we kissed her, so its out chance. We let go and she grabs Athena in her sleep, pulling her into a hug...

Our little sisters are pretty cute.

Alright, we still have a few hours before we have to take them to school, so let's get a bit of rest. Tomorrow we'll need to check with Dawn about linking constructs (maybe with Asmund as well) and get started in crafting some to browse and organize the archives for us.

It looks like the people keeping them right now are doing a good work with a old system, but that system is just too outdated for our needs. Plus the information is just too much.

Ah, let's go to bed and do some cuddling of our own with our cute cute fianceés.

In the morning, we take everyone to school, and ...

With the girls in school and the harpies either at home helping around, working just Nina, sadly , or back in our menagerie, we go to the keep's lab after school to meet with Okaba and Asmund, so we can tell them about the archives and what we want to do with constructs.

"Uhm... can we get access to those arcihves?" - Okaba asks what we knew they would both want to know.

"It isn't that I don't trust you, but the fact is that I know you two, and given the size of the archives, if I let you go in there I won't have any help out here for at least three months."
You know that they would completely lose track of time in there with millions of years worth of scientific records to occupy them.

>Three months
Optimistic much?

Asmund doesnt seem to have any problem in giving us access to his networking technology, but it is designed to control simple constructs only, so Okaba has to upgrade it so that more complex automata.

"I could organize a transport network between my country's cities with this." - says Okaba while thinking as he takes a few notes, then cuts them and pastes them over Asmund's schematics, sort of editing them here and there.

"More bat-winged ships?" -comments Asmund
"They're much easier to build and maintain than bird wings. As someone that has to go through feather upkeep, I know this well."
"Doesn't your queen does that for you?"
"Aura isn't the queen yet. It'll be a few years still."
"But she does your grooming, right?"
"What makes you say so?"
"I've seen you after an all night work shift, you can't button your own jacket without her."
"Buttoning isn't a priority."
"Alright."

Well, this should allow us to network a large number of more complicated automata than Asmund's spiders. We'll need a really powerul main automata to connect them to, though.

Alright, let's get working on that. We have Lyann's mana crystal to use as power source, so we just need to choose the best materials and design.

Even if it takes a while, shouldn't we try to get the very best since the crystal we're using would take years to replicate?
It's not like we can just transfer the crystal core to a better construct later, if I remember golemcrafting right.

Well, alright I guess.

And so, we decide to take our time to build a self sufficient system that can upgrade and evolve as needed while controling its own repair drones.

Hopefully building an AI meant to learn and keep itself operational won't bite us in the ass.

Well, this isn't a clichéd sci fi setting so we're alright. I think

With that, we go back home and pick up on our schedule. Next would be, dungeondiving.

I see your point about cheap being the point of modular, and you can get better modular parts by keeping materials cheap.
But if you get better machining and fabrication, you can make the parts better with better materials and be easier to replace instead of custom-tooling each part.

Also gonna make a pause to take a shower, because i live in the world's dryest desert and it so happens to be summer, so right now i feel like im melting. Back in 20 minutes, but probably less

Anyway, you guys want to experiment with breeding a new pet today? between which two pets?

>>1120936
>pet breeding
Miel II and Tanis?
Get a bee with dragon traits?

Atruma and Lyra to get an aquatic dragon?

Lyra and Fahima to see if there's a Hidden Breed if we breed together opposing elements?

>>1120954
back.

Should we go with Miel II and Tanis, then?

>>1121010
I'd like Eldric to breed with Tanis, but that would require a Priest to give a Divine Blessing, and that might be too publicly scandalous unless we do it ourselves.

So let's do Miel II and Tanis, and learn that Blessing ourselves. We need it for Aritsu anyway.

So, faery that breathes fire, or dragon that can read/use pheromones and command insects?

Yeah I felt silly asking, you want a faery that can breathe fire, right?

***

Alright, since we are going out with our pets, let's take the chance and confirm some options we haven't explored yet.

In this case, that means breeding. Let's see... pet console... commands...

>Release (yeah, no)
>Fuse (No, thanks, though I do wonder if two harpies together would make a four winged beauty, hopefully with both their IQs combined... ah I suddenly feel like going for a 6-winged, angel-like harpy in the hopes of it actually turning really smart, you know?)
>R*** U* (uhmm... this option is still blank... and 'help' doesn't explains it. I guess one day we'll have to just try it out, but right now I don't feel like messing around with any of my cute pets)
>Breed

So, without further ado, let's select 'breed'.

[Please select base monster, and secondary monster]

>Base, Miel II.
>Secondary, Tanis

[Is this correct¡]

>Yes

[The 'Breed' option will use an empty slot in your Menagerie], confirm?]

>Yes

I feel like its asking if I want to format C:

If you've never done it, you probably don't know what I'm talking about, though.

[Choose Secondary Traits (2)]
>Agility Bonus (Tiny)
>Appearance Bonus (Large)
>Charisma Bonus (Moderate)
>Dragon Breath
>Dragon-class spells
>Endurance Bonus (Enormous)
>Flight
>Intelligence Bonus (Moderate)
>Shapeshifting
>Strenght Bonus (Large)
>Wisdom Bonus (Moderate)

Uhmm... it's more than I thought. Two, uh? I guess you could pick two attribute bonuses if you wanted... does that means a honeyfaery as secondary could lead to a dragon with a huge agility bonus? Not as shabby as we first thought, after all... should we re-think this?

>No, let's go with a Honeyfaery as base after all. Also, we're going with... (insert two choices here)
>Yes, let's at least check the options if Miel II is the secondary and Tanis is the Base.

Rather than by alphabetical order, my DPG-addled mind would prefer to see things categorized differently. I hope you don't mind.

So, let's check... if I was to use Tanis as a Primary and Miel II as a Secondary, then...

>Swarm Coordination
>Fae-type spells
>Flight (Perfect)
>Brood
>Strength Bonus (Tiny)
>Agility Bonus (Enormous)
>Endurance Bonus (Tiny)
>Intelligence Bonus (Small)
>Wisdom Bonus (Small)
>Charisma Bonus (Enormous)
>Appearance Bonus (Moderate)

Uhmm... the attribute bonuses are pretty different, uh?
Well if you consider that a queen bee would need to command and control a huge swarm on her own, the charisma, as well as two of the abilities, seem rather obvious, but what is [Brood]?

[Brood] - You can spawn egg clusters of your kin. Quality and quantity of resulting offspring are both dependant on the resources you spend to do so.

Eh... I think giving a queen bee's fertility to a dragon is a bad idea, no matter how I think about it, you know?

Yeah... it's probably a bad idea.

Right?

Anyway, I should...

>Go with Miel II as [Base] and Tanis as [Secondary], with the following ability choices (insert here)
>Go with Tanis as [Base] and Miel II as secondary, with the following ability choices (insert here)

I think a dragon brood may be a good thing, from a military point of view.
We could drastically increase the number of powerful dragon soldiers for the empire and House Lightbringer.

>>1123164
this is a tough one. whats the difference between Flight and Flight (Perfect)?

>>1123221
wouldn't we still need to rase and level them all witch is time consuming

>>1123228
Well, a faery is more like a hummingbird while a dragon is like an albatross or a condor.

One's maneuverability makes the other look like a rock, but the fuel consumption is completely different, isn't it?

No, more like a brick navigating through tar...

>>1123164
>Go with Tanis as [Base] and Miel II as secondary, with the following ability choices (insert here)
Fae-Type Spells
Flight (Perfect)

This will make a very versatile and maneuverable dragon.

>>1123282
Yeah, but tt'll have to eat its weight in nectar every hour, though... im kidding, but it will have to eat A LOT, though.

Man that's one hungry dragon

>>1123288
It's either that or
>Fae-Type Spells
>Agility Bonus (Enormous)

>>1123288
The advantage of Flight (Perfect) is that it's an ability that the dragon can't get otherwise.
The big agility bonus is just a bonus that it could make up for with enough levels and bonus points.

>>1123307
I'm a bit concerned about the food requirements of a race of ultra hungry dragons while with the agility bonus we can dump the level point in to wisdom to boost its magic.

>>1123288
I'm still voting for perfect flight.

>>1123341
are you sure because I could go either way but I'm leaning towards agility my self?

Uh.. im a bit confused. So, which options are winning so far?

Looks like you guys want to go with a Dragon as base, and add some faery things, right?

So far, magic and either flight or agility? remember that attributes for monsters grow depending on their "type". Monsters dont call it a job, but for all intents and purposes, its a job after all.

We have sniper harpies and tank harpies and their attributes are quite different from each other.

Do you want an agility-based dragon with perfect flight? Being realistic (in a fantasy setting...) I imagine that would give us an eastern-type dragon since they are very slim and agile and dont actually fly using wings but pure magic. That would give us a Flight (Perfect) Dragon, I think.

>>1123365
There is one vote for:
Dragon base, Fae-based Magic and Perfect Flight.

That's all.

>>1123365
sorry Im having a hard time deciding again ill just support >>1123400

[Warning: Your choice is irreversible]

***
Lrabby doesnt gets a magical option because he's too dar down the physical tree.
Nina doesnt gets a physical option because she's too far down the magical tree.

>>1123657
Can we do Race Up with Krabby first?
I want to know if choosing it changes the race completely, and we lose access to their previous powers/skills.

>>1123700
I'm ok with it. what about you King?

>>1123700
Thats a pretty good guess, but its not really race, it's "rank".

It MAY change race, though, depending on the specific pet.

For example, monsters are divided in

Bronze
Silver
Gold
Diamond
Platinum
Mythic

With Holy, and Divine as 'special'

The normal ranks are based on their combat power only, while Holy and Divine are sort of small extras, templates, or secondary traits, showing their intelligence and sensitivity.

Because Nina has by far the most interaction with people, she's grown the most intellectually and emotionally and is ready to become a Holy monster, which is mentally identical to a human being.

Her sisters may level up and be stronger in combat, but their intellect is already at harpy max, if you know what I mean. Well, they interact with our siblings a lot so even if its slower than with Nina, they will probably get a chance to Rank Up soon.

Fahima interacts with us a lot as well, which has developed her emotions a lot. Yes, Im counting lewd interactions for this.

Atroma has leveled up in various ways, and is ready to rank up from Gold to Diamond, but in her case is more of a simple power upgrade.

Holy refers to their IQ and EQ, btw, not any actual sacredness.

Krabby has experimented a unusual life for his kin, with lots and lots of interaction with our other pets, so he's ready to go from Bronze (normal beast IQ) to Gold (Human IQ) skipping Silver (Smart Dog IQ) altogether, if we give the "go ahead".

Remember that ranking up is not a class/job up. Its more like an overall attribute bonus. Wether its an overall attribute bonus (like going from Gold to Diamond), or a specialized intellect bonus (like going from anything to Holy).

Either way, their levels in their current job will be reset to 1, but they will begin gaining a ton of exp per fight because they will be just as strong as before, attribute-wise, but much much lower level.

>>1123777

By the way, I forgot Flora, but she's Diamond ranked. Her intelligence is lower than the harpies' but you can't blame her.

For a plant, she's a frikkin genius. If we give her lots of intellectual and emotional simulii in the future, she may still rank up to Holy.

Ah, just one more thing. If a beast reaches Mythic, and it's not Holy or Divine yet, it will never be.

>>1123785
>>1123777
While I appreciate the infodump, we'll have to be careful not to use this information unless Eldric figures it out from some other source.

Right now, by having Krabby go Rank Up, we'll realize that it seems to make a Pet more aware/sapient, so we'll likely go with that.

>Atroma has leveled up in various ways, and is ready to rank up from Gold to Diamond, but in her case is more of a simple power upgrade.
Rank Up doesn't show up as available for her, though.

Let's Rank Up Fahima, Krabby, and Nina.

I'm ok with that but what are we going to pick for Atroma?

>>1123736
>>1123700
>>1123700
>Can we do Race Up with Krabby first?

Sure

***

We choose the weird, unclear option...

[System Notice: [Rank Up] has been unloacked! You are now able to improve your pets overall combat prowess, or intelligence]

At that time, every single [Hunter] and [Ranger] in the world got a pop-up window in front of them, and there was much debate about its meaning.

Well, since it requires a pet to be rather high level, very few, if any, [Hunter] out there will ever be able to use this.

Not to mention Holy and Divine ranks, which require you to intellectually and emotionally stimulate your pets, which just doesn't happens, since practically everyone uses them as just a war beast and nothing else.

Even humanoid pets are basically used the same way, because of this world's bias against monsters as 'just monsters'.

In other words, it would take someone like us, unaffected by the world-wide forced perspective, to happen to take [Hunter] levels and stimulate his or her pets until they can Rank Up to Holy or Divine.

In short, its extremely unlikely.

[Do you wish to Rank Up your pet, Krabby?]
>Yes

[Your pet can Rank Up from Bronze to Gold, or become Holy, which do you prefer?]
>Gold (Ñarge bonus to all attributes evenly x2)
>Holy (Massive intellectual and emotional development. Your pet will switch from [Monster] to [Slave]. This will allow it to begin leveling up [Job] levels)

>>1123845
Rank Up
>Yes
Rank Up to Gold

We can get massive attribute bonuses, and then become Holy and lose access to Rank Up after they Rank up to Platinum.
This will provide the most attributes and then they can become equivalent to human intellect.

>>1123845
>Yes
>Gold (Ñarge bonus to all attributes evenly x2)

>>1123895
I may have explained it poorly.

If they get to Mythic, they cant also unlock Holy/Divine, but the opposite is not true.

A Bronze Holy pet can still rank to silver, gold, diamond, etc

>>1123903
Oh! So even though they switch to [Slave], their [Monster] beginnings let them continue to Rank Up?

What about Miel II? Shouldn't she able to Rank Up as well? What about Miel and the other Honey Faeries?

>>1123911
>Oh! So even though they switch to [Slave], their [Monster] beginnings let them continue to Rank Up?

We are given the option of switching them to [Slave] or not. Normally it would be permanent, but we, specifically, can change out party members jobs and classes, remember?

We honestly havent interacted with the Miels enough for them to rank up. They have leveled up quite a bit, though.

To begin with, Miel and Miel II are already Holy (human-like intelligence). Remember its a intelligence parameter, not a power one.

Basically Miel, Miel II, Fahima, Tanis, Atroma, and Lyra, are already Holy. Remember its not a power rank, its a intelligence and sensitivity special rank. Like a footnote.

They can maybe rank up to Divine one day.

>>1123937
>We honestly havent interacted with the Miels enough for them to rank up
That's obviously something we need to fix sexually.

Okay, changing my choice to:
>Yes
>Holy
Once they finish Ranking Up to Mythic, we'll switch them to Slaves and start doing Jobs.

>>1123937

Basically, the reason the "system" supported us changing some monsters to various other classes such as villager or slave is because it could be done to begin with.

Remember we changed our succubus to villagers, and changed a villager to a monster.

>>1123955
You guys all want Krabby to become smarter, then?

>>1123961
would he be able to talk?

>>1123961

>>1123971
He doesn't has a windpipe and vocal chords so i dont think so.

Well, I guess we could evolve him into a Homarid? Google it up

Want him to switch to homarid? I wouldnt mind, but I think a smart crab is cute, but a homarid is...

>>1124011
I'm ok with him staying a crab for now.
maybe make Homarid a future evolution now that he's holy or something?

>>1124011
For now, keep him a crab.

He stares at us.
Oh,crabs do not have eyelids, but we get the impression it just went *blink blink* while looking at us, you know?

"You can nod with your claws, right?"

He does so.

"Good. Are you feeling alright?"
He assents

Well, he looks pretty much the same in size and shape. His shell is all lustrous and clean... but it may be that Lyra washed him before as thanks for covering her in the dungeon... uh, I guess I should say she bathed him.

Its really hard to read a crab's face, you know? Its just so different from a human or humanoid, or mammal, for that matter.

"If I aske you to let a few small monsters through from time to time so the others can practice their own defense, would you understand?"
It consents with its left claw... no, we should think of Krabby as him, right? He consents.

"Alright. I'm happy that you are always helping them, but its important that they don't forget how to fight back in melee, understood?"
He consents

Ah, I wonder if he has any new attribute or abilities.... his intelligence, wisdom and charisma are twenty times what they were... its rather low, but its higher than the average human...

I guess its slightly high for a warrior type, come think of it.

Right, let's think of it that way.

He also gained [Defensive Skills] and [Barrier Magic] abilities.

Before, he was just a meat (shell?) shield, so its a huge improvement. If I give him some sort of armor, would he understand to use it to take most of the blows?

I guess I'll have to try it in the future.

"Alright. Then please make sure to only let through the small ones, and block anything dangerous, alright?"

Krabby consents and smacks the floor twice. I guess he's saying "leave it to me!", in his own way.

Alright, next, let's Rank Up...

[Your pet can Rank Up into a Holy Beast. Do so now?]
>Yes

[Are you sure?]
>Yes

Nina has worked really hard, so we're quite happy for her.

[System Notice - Your [Harpy] pet [Nina] can evolve into a [Morrigan] as a side effect of ranking up to [Holy]. Do you wish for her to do so?]

What is a Morrigan? We look at the system help...

[Morrigan] is a four-winged evolution of [Harpy] only available for [Harpy] casters specialized in offensive sorceries. Compared to the harpy, it is not only faster and stronger, it can also absorb mana equivalent to the cost of any spell or ability used on them, as well as cause [Mana Burn] on targets affected by its own abilities, for an extra damage equivalent to the cost of the spell or ability used by the [Morrigan]

[Warning: Evolving [Nina] from [Harpy] to [Morrigan] will heavily affect its personality. Do you wish to do so?]

Uhmm...
>Yes
>No

>>1124287
>>Yes

>>1124287
>No

>>1124287

So basically if she gets hit by a spell costing 100MP, she absorbs 100MP off the spell itself (not the user), and if she uses a spell that costs 100MP, she 'burns away' 100HP off her target's life points.

>>1124287
>>No

>>1124336
>>1124298
>>No
>>1124295
>>>Yes

We decide against causing Nina to evolve into a [Morrigan]
She's a good, honest and hardworking child. There's nothing wrong with her.
Rather than a strong winged witch bullying our enemies around, we'd rather have kind and hardworking nina around, playing with our siblings, and going "waaah!" as we pat her head when she comes back from work.

Right, there's nothing wrong with letting her grow, but lets keep her as she is.

We choose [No]

[System Notice - Nina will Rank Up to [Holy]. Her mental attibutes will be doubled. Do you wish to use the energy that would go towards having her evolve into a [Morrigan] as an extra boost to her mental abilities?]
>Yes

That seems much better, let's go with that.

[Attention - System Notice - Enough energy available to Rank Up [Nina] from [Bronze] to [Divine Gold] or [Holy Diamond]. Please choose your pet's Rank Up path]
>Divine Gold
>Holy Diamond

[Harpy [Nina] will Rank Up and become [Divine] and [Gold] ranked, is this correct?]
>Yes

Ah, but this time, should we call her out from our [Menagerie] beforehand? ...there won't be a magical-girl-like transformation scene, right?

Probably

"Master!" -she pops next to us, showing us her usual warm and goofy smile,

Yeah, Nina is fine the way she is. It was a good thing, not letting her evolve into a Morrigan, after all.

"Nina, stay still for a bit..."
"'kay!"

We select "yes" and watch with interest.

A golden light shines inside Nina's eyes. It is very soft and gentle, and lasts for just a couple of moments.

Her wings stretch behind her, and she stretches up with a ... eh, she's just yawning, isn't she?

Let's see...

Nina
Harpy Sorceress // Level 1

All her attributes had a large boost, but her mental attributes were the ones that grew the most.

She's also a little bit taller!
Just a little!

Uhmm... despite her level being reset to 1, her hp and mp are the same. If its like ths, she will level up insanely fast, won't she?

"Mast'r, art thee good now? thou art looking at I quite intensely" -she says with concern while looking at us with the usual big, bright eyes
"Eh?"
"Thee seemeth did confuse, can this one assisteth thee?"
"What?"
"I'm joking." -she says with a bright smile, and pokes her tongue out at us

We karate chop her on the head (gently)

"Uhhh..." -she complains while holding her head with both hands, a tear hanging from each eye- "Meanie."
"You are the mean one! What's the big idea?!"
"I just wanted to surprise you..."
"I was surprised. I was surprised alright."

She smiles

"Ah!" -she declares all of a sudden
"What is it?"
"I just got why you are always taking big sisters Lyann and Aritsu away! It is a revelation!"
"Don't say it!" -we command while holding up our hand, ready to karate chop if neccessary
"I-i won't!"
"Alright." *sigh*

Uhmm... her class can now be changed freely. Or rather, -we- can change her class freely from the party status window, now.

>Have her level up as a harpy again
>Change her class and teach her a job
>Other

>>1124497
>Have her level up as a harpy again
Because I want her to keep her carefree relationship with her sisters.
Though it's obvious we need to interact with them more now.

Alright, let's end here for this week. It somehow feels like we got a lot done, somehow...

See you guys next week, God willing. I hope you had fun.

dose "New feature unlocked" sound alright?

>>1129875
sure

"Master, next time you take big sister Lyann and Aritsu to the side room in the baths, I wanna go too!" - Nina's beautiful round face leans over as she holds her hands over her lap.

Her soft, full breasts threaten to spill out of her simple clothes. There's an aura of youthful freshness around her, and it feels as if there would be illusions of flowers and bubbles behind her if we kept looking at her for too long.

"I-i don't think that's a good idea."
"But I want secret cookies, too!"
"...ah"

Well, she's still a child. No matter how smart she is, her experiences are still limited to that of a cute child, so that's the way her mind runs.

"We don't have secret cookies, or pastry, or anything like that. We just go relax without the children splashing water on us."
"Really?" -she leans in a little more
"Really."
"Really really?" -she smells really nice. Let's pat her head a little bit
"Yes, really really."
"Hnn,,,"

She is looking at us with half closed eyes. I guess she's not very convinced. May need to be careful next time we go to the baths...

>Is okay even if she joins
>She's a child, so let's just give her some secret cookies beforehand so she'll be happy
>Let's just firmly tell her not to. She's a smart obedient child, so there's no need to 'bribe' her. Besides, it would start a bad precedent.

Im a bit surprised.
I feel like Zoe has a right to feel upset about this, you know?
Anyway, I dont think this will happen soon simply because its sort of waiting for the next bath visit.

Which reminds me, we had a bath built in our island manor. Any specifics you want for it?

I was thinking large, but not pool sized. We can have an actual pool made for the children and friends to play and relax in outside during small celebrations, plus we have a beach surrounding the whole island, anyway.

Would you prefer a large bath? indoors or outdoors? Hot water or cold?

Btw I feel this is a good pic for Nina as she is, >>1142759 while >>1124287 was good if we evolved her to Morrigan

>>1142759
Large bath, not the size of an Olympic pool but large like one of those Japanese hot spring resort baths. Outdoors with a section that has a roof over it, and hire some stone masons and architects from Mantequira to give it a proper hot spring feel (large boulders, water cascading down).
Hot water, of course.

>>1142777
uhmm how about a small area with a roof on one side of the pool, and on the opposite side, a lion statue spewing hot water from atop some rocks?

Oh, do you guys want to give the 'pet' treatment to Nina (and eventually her sisters), 'training' her to serve her master, or a more cutesy one?

You know, basically move the slider

Lovey Dovey <--------O--------> BDSM

>>1142812
I know we basically already agreed that we were 'training' all the pets as sex pets, but just checking. Just in case.

>>1142812
Cutesy.

As for Zoe, I think it'll be funny (for us, not for Eldric) when she starts getting aggressive, like shoving her hand down his pants, kissing him on the lips and trying to push her tongue into his mouth, and sneaking into his bed in the morning to give him a blowjob.

And since she's higher level than him, there's nothing he can do to stop her.

This is the price that Eldric must pay for lazing about so much that his little sister is now higher level than him!

>>1142819
While I think Zoe getting agressive sounds fun, i dont think she would do -those- things. I can see her sneaking into his bed whenever he's home or she's visiting him, though she will probably wear pajamas and her objective is just lying next to him. I dont think she knows amuch bout sex yet.

Well, if she's visiting, she may accidentally peek at big brother and his wives/pets though.

>>1142824
>though she will probably wear pajamas and her objective is just lying next to him.
You did have her not wearing underwear once when she wanted Eldric to take her pajamas off.

So I think trying to sneak into Eldric's bed while naked is the way she would go.
And she would put his hands on her head as she nuzzles into him.

>>1142824
We should really get Zoe to have fun with Eldric somehow

"Uhmmm...." -Eldric looks at Nina
"...?" -she stares back
"Uhmmmmmm..."
"..." -she stares back

She's actually quite beautiful, isn't she? She has smooth and soft skin oozing youthfulness, with a pretty, round face and a petite but curvy figure.
Her height is mostly leg, and her (literal) raven black hair looks naturally wet and sexy...

*she stares back*

"Alright." -we gently rub rub her head- "Next time we go to the baths."
"Yay! I won!"
"You won?"
"Staring contest."
"Ah."

We give her a little smooch on her forehead. She gets really happy.

Let's give her a peck on the lips.

"Ah!" -she lits up with a smile as she spins happily in place.- "Was I a good girl?"
"Yes. Nina is a good girl."
"Yay!"

Now let's see...

Atroma // Dragon // Darkness Drake // Elder // Class Up Available!
>Wurm (Physical/Magical)
>Glaurung (Physical)
>Fróðleikr (Magical)

Fahima // Firesprite // Salamander // Efreet // Class Up Available!
>Elemental (Physical)
>Spirit King/Queen (Magical)
>Rank Up

We can still evolve Atroma and evolve or rank up Fahima.

Its not very clear how a pet gets to rank up, or rather, I wonder how close Atroma is to a rank up? I wonder if we should 'save her points' or whatever it is, and wait until she can rank up, instead of evolving her.

As for Fahima... we like her inm several ways, right now. Should we have her evolve or rank up?

Fahima
>Evolve
>Rank up

Atroma

>>1142829
Ah, right. Thats because Lyann sleeps naked, so she got it from her.

And there never was any way to get Stella to wear pajamas in bed to begin with.

And yes I can totally see it now. She sneaks/crawls into his bed and just cuddles up to him.

If she licks him, he may realize its either her or Stella, but if she doesnt, he may confuse her with Lyann or Aritsu. Wouldnt that be interesting?

And I think
<-- this pic
is good for fahima as an elemental

Fahima

>>1142837
Fahima

Atruma

Can we see the current Ranking of our Pets, now that we unlocked Rank Up?

>>1142847
To avoid a tie I change to this

>>1142847
>Can we see the current Ranking of our Pets, now that we unlocked Rank Up?

Well, all the harpies are silver, except for Nina
Flora and Squidward are Diamond
Krabby is Holy Gold, IIRC
Atroma, Tanis, Miel, Miel II, Fahima and Lyra are Holy, but the other 1/2 of their rank varies between gold and diamond.

Do you guys have any pic you think would work well for Fahima as spirit queen?

Oh, and the baby dragon still has no name and is currently silver, but not holy. Its intelligence is in the really smart dog category.

Atroma it seems you want to wait.

Fahima you want to rank up instead of evolve, right?

So she would go from gold to diamond. She doesnt has enough to go from holy to divine, though.

So Fahima
Gold --> Diamond
Right?

>>1142869
>Fahima
>Gold --> Diamond
Yes, to see what a regular Rank Up looks like.
Do the tooltips and Help function explain anything about the Ranks now that it's unlocked, so that Eldric can learn what we know, in terms of the different Ranks, how to increase Ranks, and that we need to increase Holy and Divine before we reach Mythic Rank?

>>1142869
Yes

>>1142869
Wait let me check that...

Bronze
All the harpies except Nina
They actually have a situation because they should be silver or gold, but we haven't ranked them up so they're sort of in trouble, and sort of not? If we wait for a bit, they can probably all take the same leap as Nina did, sooner or later

Silver
???? Dragon

Gold
Nina (Divine)
Tanis (Holy)
Atroma (Holy)
Miel (Holy)
Miel II (Holy)
Fahima (Holy)

Diamond
Flora (almost holy)
Squidward
Lyra (Holy)

Yeah that seems more correct

>>1142878
We named the new dragon, Tiel.
It was done back here >>1123555

>harpies are Bronze
Shouldn't we have gotten a notice saying that they can Rank Up?

>>1142874
>Do the tooltips and Help function explain anything about the Ranks now that it's unlocked, so that Eldric can learn what we know, in terms of the different Ranks, how to increase Ranks, and that we need to increase Holy and Divine before we reach Mythic Rank?

Yes, I sort of glossed over it, but assume he reads the tooltops and help when available.

Anyway remember Bronze ,Silver, Gold ,Diamond, Platinum and Mythic are purely power rankings, so squidward can be diamond but still be octopus smart.

Btw octopusses are pretty smart.

Meanwhile, Holy and Divine are purely mental boosts and indicate not just intelligence as such, but also sensitivity, and the ability to tell right from wrong. They also keep their attributes, hp and mp, but are reset to level 1, so they start growing SUPER fast.

***

We call out Fahima, and greet her with a kiss and a gentle rubbing on the back of her neck.

"Master, are we going into a dungeon?" -she asks after seeing the situation
"Yes, but wait a moment."

We open the [Menagerie] main window and navigate to her options, then choose [Rank Up]

[Your pet [Fahima] will Rank Up from [Gold] to [Diamond]. Her attributes will be raised, and her level will be reset to 1. Are you sure you want to continue?]
>Yes

[Do you wish for [Fahima] to rank up?]
>Yes

"Hh?" - Fahima is about to let out a question as she feels herself about to explode with energy from within, then the sensation is over as quickly as it began.

The flame atop her head grew longer, but doesn't emit any smoke. The air around her shimmers with heat, and she looks just a little bit taller.

The real change was the golden patterns on her skin. They went from mostly lines and circles, to much more complex designs that carry arcane energy throughout her body, flowing down from the complex pattern around her neck, down to the rest of her body while glowing softly, even under direct sunlight.

Opening her character sheet, we can see that her level has been reset to 1. Her ability slots now show

>Fire Spells (Active)
>New! (Choose One)
>Aura of Fire (Passive)

Choose one... let's take a look... actually, we didn't really pay much attention to Nina's sheet, so let's do that right away after we're done with Fahima.

[Secondary Active Unlocked. Please choose a new skill or secondary trait for your pet]

Available Actives
>Earth (Can use Earth spells)
>Wind (Can use Wind spells)

Available Passives
>Pyromania (Fire spells and abilities ignite enemy targets, dealing heavy damage over time.)
>Phoenix (The first time your pet is slain each day, she will respawn in 5 rounds instead of returning to your [Menagerie] for 24 hours, and her Aura of Fire no longer hurts allies, healing them instead.)
>City of Brass (Aura of Fire potency and range are doubled. Enemies within the aura range cannot be healed)

>>1142882
>Shouldn't we have gotten a notice saying that they can Rank Up?

We sort of let it be for too long so its a bit messy right now. It will fix itself when, like Nina, they can become either Holy or Divine. Harpies are born Bronze, and we powered them up quite a bit after all.

>>1142897
>Active
Earth
>Passive
Pheonix

>>1142902
Ah sorry, I should have been clearer.

She can get EITHER a passive or an active. Not both. Do you want her to have Earth spells, Wind spells, Pyromania, Phoenix, or City of Brass?

>>1142904
Will our Fire Immunity items work against Phoenix?

>>1142908
Im not sure... it should be immunity to damage... Im gonna say no.

Anyway, if we invest more money into accessories, we could and maybe should get [Absorb] fire instead of [Immunity] to it, then ... wait actually do we have immunity to fire? I remember we did get [Absorb] accessories, you know?

...
checking
...
...

Yeah, we have [Absorb] accessories so we heal around Fahima, and we got her a slave collar so we can turn her aura on/off as needed so she can go into buildings without setting them ablaze

I guess our fire [absorb] items would still be useful so she can heal us by throwing fireballs at us. Hopefully when we are in melee with some enemies

That way she becomes a passive source of 10% healing each turn with the phoenix aura, and can do medium-large heals as long as we wear the right jewelry, so shes not just a damage dealer but also a healer (of sorts)

>>1142917
Oh, I forgot that we got [Absorb] instead of [Immune].

Since we already have everyone using [Absorb Fire] accessories, we don't really need Phoenix.

City of Brass may be better to prevent enemies from being able to heal themselves.

>>1142924
well im going to the dentist then will come back late. See you tomorrow guys
