Welcome back!

So last it was, you led the group of orcs and gobs relying on you to another group of the same sorts of people, and after clearing up some initial... misunderstandings, you and yours were welcomed in and the two groups have come to cohabit. It's been about a month of rigorous work, but both your lot and those of the forested town you came to have been striving to expand the settlement to provide housing for the increased population and to lengthen the wall around this new expansion. One by one your people have been settled in new houses their own, and in the last couple of days the wall has been completed. There's still identity concerns and other such differences between the two groups, but for now you're all getting along decently well and living together as one whole settlement.

As for you in particular, you met the leader of this tribe, an older orc matron named Arba and hit it off. In working together for the good of both your peoples, you ended up becoming a guest in her home and forming a relationship even. You're not about to get married or anything, but you get along well and keep each other company both in and out of the home.

And so after this time spent with the two groups working together, Arba thinks the settlement is ready to start taking full actions towards its progress and stability.

>How would you like to proceed?

>>1571788
Is the wall already built? If so is it sturdy enough?

>>1571795
Nvm that first question
I didn't read properly
The deal is if it's strong enough?

>>1571795
>>1571800
It's not to the same standards as the walls the former human inhabitants had built, but over time those have fallen to some disrepair anyway. This new expansion is fully orcish in style and structure, and while not as neat or finely made, it's more than sturdy enough to keep out most enemies. And of course worst come to worst, your group can always retreat inside the actual main walls of the town.

>>1571788
Scout the surrounding areas to find arable land and routes. Also scout any possible threats and devise defensive measures. And fortify the walls with offensive structures like ballista.

>>1571807
Okay
Now we can venture out to the other group
Lets take some good fighters from her side and ours so we don't leave either lacking too much
Then set out with Arba and Rav, our friends can stay

And the mercenaries can follow us if they want

>>1571813
To start things off you can scout around the forested town. Make a roll, d100, to see what your scouts can turn up. From there you can act accordingly.

>>1571817
Ah well, the mercenaries, that's a problem. The fellow in charge of them, the vampire out to capture you, has decided enough is enough. Especially now that your group of orcs are safe and sound in the town. He's been getting impatient waiting for you come along peacefully, and you expect now with the wall complete he will demand your cooperation.

So now would be a good time to decide if you really do want to keep your word and go quietly, or if you want to make a stand. Likely with the help of the town. With their help, you will very soundly outnumber the mercenaries, however you can't expect a conflict without bloodshed on both sides.

Rolled 19 (1d100)

>>1571828
Can we negotiate with him? Just a bit more time?

Rolled 80 (1d100)

>>1571835
Support roll

>>1571835
>>1571839
Is that a roll for negociation? You can with an attempt like that, but you'll have to present a case to him, to not try and capture you now. In his eyes, the longer he leaves it the stronger you (or at least those you surround yourself with) become, so he will want to know what you plan to do with this added time.

>>1571847
That was for scouting lol
But if we can use it for the attack instead of negotiation

>>1571851
I don't know about that but it's an 80 so it's worth a shot

Can't stay up anymore, Good Night
>>1571851
>>1571847
>>1571813
We better win what fight anon

>>1571851
>>1571874
>>1571887
Oh the scouting right. Well if you want to use it for the attack though you definitely can. Just detail how you want to go about it. If you want to lure them into an ambush, stage a sneak attack, or separate them out?

You've got over 100 orcs and many more goblins and others vs their 51 mercenaries. Now true the are seasoned fighters of varying talents, but you also have many advantages, chief among them the foreknowledge of the hostilities to come.

>>1572004
Uh, what do we know about her wife? Where is she? Who or what is preventing her from escaping or him from rescuing her?

Because we have got, you know a ring of invisivility (or was it 'ring of not detection' or something like that? I can't remember.).
Also, how common, if it exist at all, is theletransportation magic?

Because I think he would be willing to leave the queen and join us if we helped him rescue his wife, especially with that 80.

>>1572004
Sneak attack
Okay, evacuate the outermost sector inwards, we'll have our Gobs use whatever ranged weapons we have and start raining down on them when the Vamp is close, then we open our door to let the fighting happen inside, once inside we'll continue the distance assault while our fighters engage in melee, we'll have the positioning, base knowledge and high ground advantage
The goblins should focus on magic users and ranged people and should stay away from melee combat

Our friends, Zela, Arba and Rav are going to sit out the fighting inside Arba's house
And we'll also fight from range with lethal and nonlethal spells

>>1572077
I doubt it, if he can't get to her then we probably don't stand a chance either

>>1572213
>I doubt it, if he can't get to her then we probably don't stand a chance either

Well, we have a ring that avoids detection and a sword that can kill ghosts, so... naybe he only needs some help to rescue her.

Or maybe just somewhere safe to go, after (if) he desides to obtain information by interrogating somebody important to the queen.

>>1572272
Give him important items in hopes he just leaves? Are you sure about that?

>>1572289
No, I mwant that we can help him since we can do things that he probably can't because of this items.

Did he have a time limit to get us to the queen? Is he with somebody else that works for the queen?

>>1572302
The thing is
I don't know if that 80 will be enough, it's enough for negotiating but can we convince him?
Wanna roll for convincing?

>>1572321
Well, I just asume that we should hve asked him about his wife on all of out time 'together'.

Also, he was suppoced to tell us mlre about our mother's enemy, right?

>>1572077
You only know what he told you, since when Nadira tried to scry on the vampire's wife, she suffered a beyonder attack. What the vampire himself told you, was that his wife was imprisoned and being kept that way by the evil queen. Knowing your mother, she's probably handed that actual duty over to one of her servants, but needless to say it's probably a very secure imprisonment.

If you want to try and rescue his wife you can, but it's going to take going to the evil queen's stronghold, back home to where you came from. And it will most certainly take more than one 80 roll. Though to be fair, some players did consider returning or being captured, just to try and escape again later. Just a possibility.

>>1572167
So you want to lure them to the town, possibly inside, then sneak attack them? That can work, just pitch a response to give to the vampire and the mercenaries to lure them in.

>>1572272
It's true you do have some great magic items and such, but you know from personal experience that the evil queen surrounded herself with all sorts of accomplished and powerful folks, and defended her stronghold as such. To prevent things like but not limited to, dragon attack, assassin infiltration, enemies teleporting in, etc...

It's not impossible, considering you know the stronghold better than anyone, and even secret passages in and out, but it's no cakewalk either.

>>1572302
It didn't sound like he had a time limit to return you to the queen, but he probably won't get his wife back until you're returned so he'd obviously want to complete the job as fast as possible. And from what you understand, he's working on his own. That's not to say he's the only agent of the queen or that he doesn't know of others, just that he's one who managed to track and find you after an initial combat in the borderlands.

>>1572356
Hmm, how much does the queen apreciate her followers?

I mean, if we captured a lot of the other agents that cone after us, could we use them as hostages in exchange for the vampire's wife? Just an idea.

>>1572356
Hey Vamp, I'm ready to go just let me say goodbye to my friends, you can come inside meanwhile

That's when everyone evacuates and the fighters get ready before opening the door

>>1572361
She takes care of her own, and loyalty well, but it does vary depending on the individual or creature. Like for example, you personally know she doesn't like vampires. Certainly though, bargaining hostages is something which could work. Seems like a lot of work for just a one vampire though, it's not like you'd lose sleep over suffering of this guy or his wife.

>>1572372
>Seems like a lot of work for just a one vampire though, it's not like you'd lose sleep over suffering of this guy or his wife.

It is, of course, also part of a plot to deal with the other agents, and maybe even have them join our side too!

Also, I don't know if this was already answered, but was him the man that met Eula at the revelry?

>>1572381
I think so
>>1572372
Supporting
>>1572364

>>1572381
>deal with other agents

Can't argue with that! And no, this wasn't the same person Eula met.

>>1572364
So you you give an excuse to the vampire and his mercenaries that you're ready to leave but they're free to come and stock up on supplies with the orcs before leaving. Which is a pretty appealing offer, they've been camping out for over a month now and had to forage and hunt to get by.

Having had anyone outside evacuate within the stone walls then, once the gate is open and the enemy group enters inside, the trap is sprung! Between goblins with many crossbows, trolls lobbing great rocks, and orcs charging in for combat, you catch the enemies off guard. The initial attack is quite devestating on them and the mercenaries struggle to organize and group up, but they're having a hard time.

Naturally you take it upon yourself to maybe blast a few with the magic you know, or even try to maybe counterspell any of the casters the enemy might have. However you notice after some difficult fighting, the vampire flees further into town. A worrisome prospect, and you're met with the dilemma of whether to stay and continue to assist magically, or leave after the vampire in case he does something risky.

>>1572396
>Don't let up on them, do not give them a chance to organize themselves, Gobs and Trolls focus on the casters, Orcs keep doing what you're doing.

They're doing fine without us, we can follow him
Unless he's within firing distance?
Can we fire a spell that travels fast enough to hit him if he's still within Range?

>>1572414
You can probably blast him with a spell before he gets out of range and sight, but he's a vampire so just one spell probably isn't going to do it.

>>1572417
Run after him while casting two missiles, or beams preferably, at his legs
One or two rolls?

>>1572417
Can we catch him with a spell or something? Shot at him with our crossbow? Are we wearing our armor?

>>1572396
>>1572436
*Shigh* And thus we loss a possible ally, source of infromation, and anger mom even more...

Well, on the last part, mom doesn't need to realize if we don't let anybody tell that we killed him.

Also, if we shot at him, can we stagger him enough for some orcs to rush at him?

>>1572431
>>1572436
The missiles can work but they don't do much damage or have such a great effect. And no you weren't armored otherwise that would be obviously suspicious. But then, you're not in any risk in this situation, your safety is the determining factor for these enemies.

>>1572444
>>1572467
You sling some missile spells his way, and manage to hit him well enough, even if the effect isn't so great. He's aware that you're following him now though, and quickly ducks for cover inside some random building which was probably a workshop or something like that.

There's yelling and screaming inside, as you and others try to rush over, and you find the vampire having tried to escape but been blocked by an orc woman protecting her child. He's clearly desperate and dangerous, but at the moment cornered.

>>1572481
Okay
Lets talk
First let the woman and kid outside and let maybe two orcs in
We only want to talk, we don't want kill him, let him calm down

>>1572495
Like, he has no other option now? I am fine with that, since we already kind of threw pasifist!diplomasy out of the window.

>>1572495
>>1572502
First and foremost you get anyone at risk out of there, then surround the guy with some able-bodied fighters. You're not sure what he's capable of but it should make him think twice.

You offer to talk, but then what's there to talk about he asks? You've already shown to be a liar and willing to betray him. And at the end of the day, his situation has only one outcome; either he captures you and takes you back, or he dies trying.

>>1572542
Surrender. You can't take me with you nor do you want to die, but I am not about to go back to the queen.

This needs a dice?

>>1572583
Also, if he denies, can we capture him?

>>1572583
>>1572592
You can roll a dice, but if you say you're not going back, then he doesn't understand what else is there to discuss.

In which case then, yes you may well want to try and capture him.

>>1572618
Is everybody ok with capturing him instead of capturing him?

What kind of vampire is him?

Just to know how far we can go, because on a warhammer quest they were kind of inmortal (are they like that in the original Warhammer universe, pheraps?), so you could turn them to ashes and store them in a cave, and if given a chance, they would regenerate.

>>1572637
>Is everybody ok with capturing him instead of capturing him?

lol

*Is everybody ok with capturing him instead of killing him?

>>1572637
You can't be certain since you're not a vampire and only know what you do from talking to and observing him, but he seems like a standard run of the mill vampire.

So, hard to kill, but if you do it right then he'll definitely die.

>>1572654
Hmm, do we have binding/restrictive magic or hexes? Something to prevent him from using magic?

>>1572661
Nadira probably does, and within the settlement there's probably a few shamans and the like whom could do something like that. However even without magic, vampires have some natural abilities which can't be blocked just by anti-magical means.

>>1572664
Lets try to bargain
We don't want to kill him because he has a wife to come back to and we don't want to do something that'll get his wife killed
And we also can't allow him to leave and tell mom, so, we'll keep him here now that he doesn't have the force to take us

>>1572704
Well that's not really a bargain, that's you just forcibly keeping him prisoner. But yes, if you want to you can do that. You can expect resistance from him though, trying to capture and hold him. After all, he is armed and cornered.

>>1572713
>Oh come the fuck on, put those weapons down
>I don't want to kill or hurt you
>Just come willingly and if you agree to stop trying to kidnap us we'll not toss you in a cell

>>1572718
>And may even help you get your wife back.

>>1572718
>>1572720
Also, we should probably roll.

>>1572713
Also I assume that Zela, Us and Rav are sleeping in the same house cuz we the leaders? With our friends in the same neighborhood?

>>1572718
>>Just come willingly and if you agree to stop trying to kidnap us we'll not toss you in a cell

He says he already agreed for more than a month to not kidnap you, and still you turned on him. At this point you're basically asking him to give up on his wife, by continuing to further postpone his job. You can say that you'll help him, but at this point that bridge has kind of been burned.

>>1572726
No, Zela and Rav have their own accommodations. Just you have been living with Arba, the leader of the settlement.

Rolled 91 (1d100)

>>1572724
If we have to

>>1572732
Good, but, eh.. >>1572730

So, is that post ignored, he reconsiders it, we use the roll for something of our chosing, or what?

>>1572730
Let me rephrase that
>I'll assume we'll be sleeping in the same house
>>1572732

A 91 wasted
What a sad day this is

>>1572734
Should we save it for something else? If that anon and op are cool with it

>>1572732
>>1572734
With the 91 you can talk him down to peaceful surrender. He won't abandon his mission though, just like he won't abandon his wife. You can capture him peacefully by talking him down, but he's still going to keep trying to subdue you. And after this little stunt of betraying his trust, he's not going to be nice about it anymore either.

>>1572746
You can save it for something else in this scenario of the conflict between the vampire and mercenaries, and your own group. Not beyond this conflict though.

>>1572735
When/if you stop living with Arba and seek a house for yourself in the town? No, Zela and Rav have their own houses. You could try and ask them, but there's probably obvious relationship implications behind such a request.

>>1572769
>With the 91 you can talk him down to peaceful surrender. He won't abandon his mission though, just like he won't abandon his wife. You can capture him peacefully by talking him down, but he's still going to keep trying to subdue you. And after this little stunt of betraying his trust, he's not going to be nice about it anymore either.

I say we do that. Then we can see about getting his wife back somehow. Probably through hostages.

Though I would like to take some precautions with him, obviously.

>>1572769
If he's still going to try we might as well not use it

Use it for how well our people fared against the mercenaries

>>1572769
Hes still affected by Garlic right?

>>1572823
Sure, why not?

>>1572796
>>1572785
Which of the two then? Either are a viable choice.

>>1572829
If he's still going to try and escape and get us in the process I don't see the roll being useful, let's use it for how well our people fought

>>1572829
Meh, if he is going to keep trying to drag us to the queen, better to capture him.

Do this: >>1572796

Rolled 64 (1d100)

>>1572838
So, now we roll for capturing him, right?

Well, rolling for disarming/binding/stunning/knocking out/overpowering him with a spell/magic.

>>1572841
>64

That should be good enough to stun him with a blast, right?

Then we would have chance to restrict him, do we need to roll for that too?

>>1572841
Ask people to surround the house via whisper and to bring some garlic, then say outloud we'll try to talk him down
Then we wait, once everything is set, grind then throw the garlic at him, while he's stunned have some orcs come in and restrain him
Good enough?

>>1572855
Betrayal again?
Now, that is just asking for hin to hate us in his fullest.
Do we really need to talk him down first for that? And I am sure he would just go 'Enouj talking' and retaliate before everything is ready.
Can't we use >>1572841 >>1572841 to stun/restrain him with magic while we do what you want, if it is even possible?

>>1572885
Yeah you're right
That's kinda assholeish

>>1572885
>>1572888
Could we persuade him to help us break into the queens castle? And while we are there we can rescue his wife.

>>1573363
We have the bird whose feathers can unlock any lock, we can use our capture as an entrance to the castle and we could purloin more magical items, and we can rescue the vampire's wife. We get more items and an ally.

>>1573363
After we unite the orcs, sure

Hello all, sorry for the delay. Where I live, unexpectedly got the internet upgraded so it was out for the day. If I'd known beforehand I'd have forewarned.

Unfortunately that means can't play much the rest of tonight, but maybe can move things along a little.

>>1574572
Still lurking here op

>>1572841
>>1572732
So, with the vampire distracted, the bunch of orcs gathered basically dogpile him. He fights for his life, swings his sword around and evades capture like a cat to a bath, even bites a few when pinned, but they do manage to capture him with no deaths, just a few serious injuries. They want to kill him though for this, but you can at least convince them to postpone that action for the time being. With the addition of garlic available and other such measures, you can properly subdue him at least for now.

Meanwhile, after all this you're met by Zela running in a panic, come to see if you're alright and to deliver the news that the fight with the mercenaries is over. The settlement did surprisingly well for such a suddenly cooked up plan, but she wants your attention, hopping up and down to try and get you to lower to her level. She hopes no one hears, but she says the orcs are committing atrocities, partly in revenge but mostly as an after-battle rite. She's not sure if you'd care or not, but she wanted you to at least know.

>>1574582
Oh shit
Choke him out and throw him in a cell, coat the stone walls with mushed and full garlic, the jails bar too, and only one guard in the corridor with two more outside

Then run back to the fighters, we need to see what we can do

>>1574589
That's a good plan and all but how does garlic affect him?
>>1574582

>>1574589
Unfortunately your extra care to imprison the vampire means more time taken, and it costs you about ten minutes or so. By the time you run back to the entrance of the town, it's not a pleasant sight and you're probably seeing the aftermath only. You can't easily discern what's gone on for sure since the sight of the battle is still fresh, but you see a few survivors lined up whom have clearly been maimed after the end of the fighting. Things like teeth removed as trophies or revenge injuries inflicted, as well as beatings and a couple of executions still going on. The only ones partially spared are a few of the surviving female mercenaries whom are being fought over for obvious purpose, and one male in a similar manner. All the rest, bodies and remains, are being looted and defiled like heads put on spikes.

Perhaps most disconcerting as how much the orcs seem to act like this is normal, even the women and children participating in part. You've read and heard of some ghastly after-battle practices by all races from time to time, but actually seeing it is a little sickening for a first time atrocity to witness. Compared with, of course, the reaction you get from the orcs around of cheers and celebrations at your clever plan and the settlement's success. More than a few folks with bloody hands from the fight and aftermath take your hand or pat/slap at you in approval, and soon enough your presence catches the attention of Rav who's giving her own congratulations and offering orders on how and what to do after the combat.

>>1574597
It's quite unpleasant and he'd want nothing to do with it. It's not like he'll explode if you put it on him, but it would be quite painful and irritating and be tremendously unpleasant for him. It wouldn't keep him from escaping if he really wanted to and had the chance, but it will certainly keep him more controllable while in captivity.

>>1574601
That explanation took more than a few seconds
Nothing we can do now, it would be disrespectful to their traditions

Ask them to bring the captured slaves to us, we only want to see them, unless they want to give us one for how well we commanded the plan

>>1574601
:/
Let's puke, first time seeing so much gore?

>>1574614
If you want a battle captive they'll certainly give you one, your choice of the lot. More or less, the orcs can line the few survivors up, except of course for those being fought over. Though you could probably claim one of them, but they're too busy fighting to separate them and put them with the other survivors.

>>1574616
A good idea, roll to not puke. Though you're pretty sure puking will lose you some respect. A little bit at least.

Rolled 29 (1d100)

>>1574643
>>1574642
You try your best not to hurl, and manage to do so, though the scene will haunt you for sure. Keeping your composure as best you can then, you express your wishes than indeed you want the survivors lined up. Seeing your interest, Rav tells them to settle the fighting, and before long the eight remaining survivors are on their knees before you and the gathered orcs. Four female and one male, the ones being fought over, a halfling fellow whom they think is a child so didn't kill, an actual child, and an old man. Also some animals belonging to the mercenaries, but they're not shoved in among the survivors.

You feel a little pressure now though, because among the orcs they respected you for your successful plan and strong action, and now wait and watch with anticipation for what you'll do now.

>>1574690
Ask the adults what is a kid doing here? Same with the old man?
As for the adults, do they have family waiting for them? Kids, siblings, parents?

And ask Rav what does someone in our position do now? Kill them? Enslave?

>>1574704
And use the glass thing to look around

>>1574704
You try talking to the captives, expectedly though they aren't the most talkative or cooperative. Some barely talk a little, and the old man talks willingly. The child is among the mercenary group as a prospective future member, learning from them and their exploits. It was an orphan found on one of their jobs so they took to raising it. As for the old man, he's just a seasoned old member of the company, now serving as a master of arms of sorts, basically keeping the rules and training folks.

For family, well they've all got family to varying degrees, but they're well removed of them if they're working as mercenaries. Any family they do have, are likely far off whom they send money and letters to, or they left behind.

You can ask Rav for advice though, none of the orcs will think less of you for that even if they speak up on all their opinions as well. Normally, the females and that one male would become war-won spouses, the children could become slaves or adopted if anyone wants them, and the old man probably let go unless he has some useful skill or could serve as entertainment.

Alright yes, you actually notice that one of the survivors is entirely magical, and poorly masking it. You're not exactly sure what you're looking at, but she doesn't actually have any signs of a soul or at least not one that is clear like a life signature. She's not undead though, you're just clueless exactly what she is.

Also one of them has a very strong life sign by odd contrast, currently flaring up as a couple orcs are having to restrain her. At first you thought it was just typical struggle as to be expected, but taking a step back in logic, there's no reason it should be that difficult to restrain a person even if she is a seasoned mercenary. She's also completely unintelligible and frothing blood at the mouth, eyes all white, but it's not like she's just out of it and having a seizure either; she's very clearly still trying to fight and kill them which shouldn't be possible with her dire injuries.

Apart from that though, you can convince them to let the old man take the kids and leave though, for which you suppose they'd be thankful. Better than being slaves, even if the forest is dangerous.

>>1574741
A war spouse? No, none of the greenies would hold that against you. It's a common enough practice and cultural thing. Actually literally marrying one though wouldn't go well, but then "war spouse" doesn't imply actual marriage.

If of course that's something you're into. You can't imagine such a situation could flower into some loving beautiful relationship between master and captive, but then you've also got an evil reputation to potentially live up to.

>>1574783
I'm still here though lol

Goodnight anyway. If everyone is headed off, I probably will too.

>>1574601
>you see a few survivors lined up whom have clearly been maimed after the end of the fighting. Things like teeth removed as trophies or revenge injuries inflicted, as well as beatings and a couple of executions still going on. The only ones partially spared are a few of the surviving female mercenaries whom are being fought over for obvious purpose, and one male in a similar manner. All the rest, bodies and remains, are being looted and defiled like heads put on spikes.
>Perhaps most disconcerting as how much the orcs seem to act like this is normal, even the women and children participating in part.

How does this compate to our mother or her subordinates?

>>1574813
Also, I am thinking about giving them the Roman treatment:
Sure, they are slaves, but they are allowed to own things and have money (if so the master desires), and can earn their freedoom (by becoming part of the orc tribe, the same way that Romans gave citienship) through great servise, a payment, and/or the allowance of their masters.

That being said , I would like it more if they were 'public slaves', but that is interfering too much with their culture.

Though, I assume that the orcs would agree that the magical ones can we put to greather employ than being owned by somebody.

Basically, we offer those 2 to have a 'job' more adecuated to their set of skills.

Can we discuse these consepts (eventual freedom, giving slaves duties according to their skills over personal (owner) use) with Rav and the other orc leader?

I suppoce we will end up with the slaves having owners, but making it so they have chances to 'earn their position'. (Like letting the mercenaries, especially the magical ones, fight)

That being said, we would also like to give some rights to the slaves, to aboid mistreatment. Something like 'These slaves are very difficult to get and are valuable accets, try to not damage them'.

OP, elves do slavery?

>>1574813
>>1574947
>>1574972
It is to say, they kind of just got caught in the middle of the disagreement between the vampire and us, right?

A good pay, good living conditions, and they should be interested in staying with us. (Even if we free them?)

>>1574813
I meant something like we marry Rav while still having a war spouse

Call someone religious to take a look at the lively one and ask the soulless one what is she via whisper, we can see she's special.

And let the old man and child leave

>>1574972
>>1575010
If the orcs are okay with giving them those rights while still being slaves im down

>>1574947
Nowadays the evil queen would be one to show mercy in order to try the survivors as servants. If anyone under her were caught doing anything to the living or dead after a battle though she'd execute them probably for dishonorable actions.

>>1574972
Well if you're letting the old man and the kids go, then that just leaves the ones being fought over, and the ones fighting over them aren't interested in making slaves of them really, they just want them as war spouses. You can try and impose all these ideas, but it's going above and beyond what the orcs have in mind; they're not rendering them as proper "slaves" or forcing them to do work or anything, some of the men and women just want them as mistresses or to marry eventually.

As for elves, they don't really do slavery but then neither do the orcs. For the elves it would be more like indentured servitude, while the orcs more like forcibly incorporating captives into the group.

>>1575010
You can't say for sure how they'd feel about that since it's an individual basis thing. Certainly they'd prefer to be free, but some might be interested in staying if the conditions are better, while others might just have a grudge against the orcs for killing their mercenary fellows.

>>1575038
As long as you weren't to literally marry a war spouse, then there's no real disapproval for the orcs on even any number of them. Just the mark of a powerful or successful individual, and a sign of pride/respect. Indeed, Rav for example is a successful military leader herself, so the same could be in reverse of her also having such a captive or more if she wanted. So no, the greenies overall would look at it as a sign of success, and Rav would feel the same way if expecting the same courtesy.

Either way, you let the old man and the kids go, and are left with just the survivors being contested over. For the lively one you can make a roll if someone can discern what's up with her. Same with the soulless one but for you just interacting with her yourself. To see if you can calm her down or at least put her worries to rest enough, to want or be able to talk to you despite being surrounded by victoriously slaughter-or orcs.

>>1575068
>>1575072
Neither you nor any shamans or otherwise are sure of what the frenzied woman is, besides human. They're tresting her as diseased or cursed or something, so although she's still contested, they're less keen on taking her as a war bride.

The other one though, the soulless one, you pull her aside and try to put her worries to rest. In the process though you get a closer look at her and also notice in grabbing her arm that it looks like her skin came off onto your hand. Obviously you're alarmed at first but in talking and observing, come to realize that she's actually a construct. A manikin animated by magic, basically an artificial person, it looks like she'd been using makeup and other means to appear more human, but really she's a combination of porcelain, clay, and other components all made up to look like a human and then animated.

>>1575075
>>1575078
Of the remaining captives, the lone male is a handsome and supposedly cultured young man so has caught the interest of a couple of the orc women who participated in the battle. For the women, the two normal ones are a dwarf and a rabbitfolk, of average looks you'd imagine for their races. The construct looks like she was made to be appealing in looks, but she's actually kind of creepy when getting a good look and talking with her, since the joints of her body are actually segmented and she has cracks in places where she's taken damage. The frenzied woman though is decently attractive, which is the only reason she's been kept alive.

Being mercenaries by trade, they're all very physically fit and generally healthy apart from the injuries sustained in battle just now. Well, except for the construct, the concept of physical fitness doesn't really apply to her since her body seems modular?

Is there any ingure on the ones alive?

We could use our healt potion.

Also, we should eventually talk woth Rav and the other orc about how they treat people after the battle.

We can do it subtly, asking if this is something related to their culture, if there is any specific reason, and then we can try to explain to her why we would like for her to not do that on certain cases, like that if we desecrate the bodies too much, or we keep killing and/or torturing after the battle is over, we could lose potential subjects allies. Like raiding a village vs having it grow food for you, for example.

You're not sure how all your companions feel since only Rika is there, also looting the dead or pickpocketing the living who finished looting. The other companions aren't present so you can't say for sure. Zela and Arba are also there, the former appears quite scared and is cowering behind a barrel, while the latter is helping the injured orcs and others. Eula is not back yet no, probably still among the elves of the divine tree. The elf girl though you've kept to trading duty which has worked out well for you, such that your group at least are all at least basically armed and in time will all be fully equipped with elven gear.

As for the captives, how do you mean see what they are like? You don't suppose your companions would care all that much about your relationship practices, considering they worked for an evil queen before this. Maybe Rika, it might change things but that's because she's your friend rather than servant. Only Gwen of the lot, outright disapproves since she's not used to violence or evil practices, so something like a war trophy mistress is alarming to her.

As for your mother, you can recall one or two individuals she might have been close with in that way, while you were growing up. Never to the extent of an actual relationship to your mind though, but then you've no idea of her private life. She just doesn't and never did strike you as the sort to fool around that much, too careful and too concerned with honor for that.

>>1575112
Yes, they just fought in a battle so all the survivors are injured in some way or other, some worse than others. Like the frenzied woman should be dead from her wounds. You can heal them, but it might give a bad impression if you take to healing captives first over injured orcs and fellow townsfolk.

You can talk with Rav and the others whenever you care to though, but a fair point that all races to your knowledge, participate in after battle practices. Obviously to different extents and degrees, but if you're trying to lecture the orcs on what they do in victory, well you might as well try to lecture every soldier of every race on how he should and shouldn't behave in war when his life is on the line and killing is his profession.

>>1575141
Tell Gwen we're not going to be using her as a trophy/Mistress, whisper "We're not an Orc"

>>1575141

Calm her and make sure she doesn't die, once you have made the work of the orcs restaining her easier heal the inguried orcs and goblings. And if there are greenies that seem like they will die without inmedieate help, heal them before the woman, obviously.

Ok, I understand.

So if we do it, it would have to be slowly and culturally, or something like that.

Well, bunny girl seems like a common race. I am more inclined to go towards something the ones that seem unique, like the frienzied woman, or the contruction-

Wait, CAN she even be a spouce? I mean, if they didn't build her with that in mind. Then again, whoever made her made it so she looked like a woman, so...

>>1575156
The frenzied one is still wanted tho
If no one wants the construct we could get away with both

>>1575122
Wait which one are you asking to be lent?

As for the doll, you think the main reason she's still contested is because they don't know she's a construct and believe her human. Like the halfling before thinking he was a child. If they figure out she's a construct, maybe she won't get the same interest but they'd probably find a use for her. You talk to the construct herself, she says she comes from a nation farther to the west where magic constructs are a more common thing along with other strange technological wonders. How she came to be with the mercenaries is a long story but her creator is not among the dead.

>>1575124
Since she's made of components, any sort of repairing magic should work. Only the parts of her which are porcelain is she unable to fix herself though, since the clay/malleable portions of herself, if they get damaged she can usually just reshape with her own hands even. A creepy prospect you realize, as to why she appears muscled and physically fit, she quite literally molded her exterior to appear that way.

As for the frenzied woman, you're not sure if casting calm or anything like that is a good idea, because the frenzy seems to be what's keeping her alive through her ghastly injuries. Settling her down back to normal, may end up killing her.

>>1575138
>96

With the help of the orcs trying to restrain her, you struggle to force feed her the healing potion, a few refills actually given her injuries. As expected she starts to heal, but your attempts at magically calming her don't work in the slightest. Perhaps for the best though, as her body heals and her injuries become less fatal, she seems to calm down on her own and eventually passes out.

For this you get some angry reactions from the orcs for helping a captive enemy first, and lose a little respect. While they can recognize that she'd probably have died otherwise, they still believe you should help your own first.

>>1575159
>The frenzied one is still wanted tho

They are hesitant, though.

>>1575161
Whoops, had already written this post before seeing >>1575156 's care to help the greenies first. Well helping them out after should restore the confidence lost anyway.

>>1575156
>be a spouse?

You have no idea, something you'd have to ask her though obviously a question like that makes your intentions clear. From what you understand though, constructs made to look, act, and function like people and races (not just human) is a thing that exists. She's pretty creepy though, is that something you'd even be interested in?

>>1575164
They were wary of her while frenzied. Now that she isn't and may survive, they'll be more interested in her.

>>1575186
You do actually have a spell or two like that, but you're not familiar with how she was made or the magic animating her, so you're not sure if casting spells on her is safe. She thinks it would be at least.

You can certainly ask her though, and talking to her she says that the frenzied woman is a berserker. You've no idea what that is, and the construct only knows a little so it may be best to ask the woman herself if she regains consciousness.

>>1575200
>72

In the meantime you busy yourself with tending to the injured and dying townsfolk from the battle, thankful for Arba's help in ordering people based on their injuries and needs. You mange at least to save anyone who was dying, though there's quite a lot of less lethal injuries, which may take you a few hours to see to. The orcs and others are thankful though for your saving lives, so if you wanted to leave the less serious healing to others, they wouldn't hold it against you.

Or you could entrust the refilling bottle to someone and let them do the healing for you.

>>1575190
In the meantime you explain the nature of the construct to those gathered, which upsets her you notice. After learning that though, interest in her dies down considerably. There's still some interest though, more from the women who are interested in putting her to use in domestic work or childcare.

>>1575210
Well if you want to be selfish and lay claim to more than one, you suppose you could. As the victorious leader of the effort it would be within your right, though you expect some sour feelings about it from the orcs.

Seems the choice is for the rabbitfolk, and you speak up saying you want her for organizing the battle effort. None can complain, and the orc fellow whom had her respectfully hands her over. You try to talk with her but she's one of the more traumatized ones so isn't in a speaking mood at the moment.

As for the construct, you let her to be examined by some of the women then, and after some arguing and a fight breaking out, eventually the decide that yes, several of them would like to share in her use as a domestic worker and child caretaker.

Lastly for the frenzied one you ask the guy who fought with the others for her, if you can borrow her for a time just to see if she's safe or cursed or whatnot. He doesn't see a problem in that, but wants her back as soon as you're able.

>>1575280
You're not that skilled for permanent enchantments, but Nadira is. Also you do own a few magic items, including weapons and armor that Rika pilfered from the evil queen's castle during the escape.

Deciding to go for it, you cast the most basic repair spell you know, and mend the construct's porcelain face. With a cricking sound, the cracks slowly seal up as she touches at them in surprise and thanks you sincerely for it. You'll see how that goes for her for now, and if there's no adverse ffects you can do a better job.

>>1575318
Before leaving you happen to ask the orc whom had gotten the rabbitfolk what he had in mind for her. With some sly laughter he says he'd have gotten her patched up from her injuries, then after she'd better healed in a few days he was going to she how she fared as mistress potential.

Considering that then, with some help you head on back to where you're staying with the rabbitfolk and the frenzied woman carried. You don't have a house of your own since you've been living with Arba, but you do have your own quarters in her house where you can go for the time being.

So not much longer later and thanking an orc for his help, the frenzied woman is laid in your bed to recover, while the rabbitfolk kneels by her side since she's the only one left who's a friend probably.

Eventually the frenzied woman does come to some tens of minutes later, jolting awake in a panic and having to be restrained from defending herself by the rabbitfolk. When she realizes what's going on and where she is, and when the situation is explained to her by her comrade, she calms down but doesn't seem at all happy. Looking to you, she asks if you're the cause of all this then, and calls you a traitor for working with these orcs.

Not terribly so but she's got some banadaged wounds and is hurting.

>>1575345
You get to talking to the two, though obviously they're none too pleased. First you focus on the frenzy woman, learning of her name, Ragna from the north. It's hard to talk with her because she has such a heavy accent, but you can sort of figure things out. Apparently she has berserker's blood which sounds like an inherited malady among her family and others where she comes from, which causes a person to enter into a blood fury and rampage against any and all, unable to discern friend from foe. As you saw, it grants some significant strength allowing a human woman to put up a fight against a male orc warrior or even exceed one, and gave a massive amount of endurance that the ability kept her alive well past when she should have been dead. All at the cost of insane fury for the duration. It doesn't seem to be something she has any control over, it just happens when her heart is "on fire" so you'd guess it to mean if she gets too excited, angry, scared, or whatever else would elevate her heart rate enough. When not ragins she seems normal enough, so as long as you don't provoke her she shouldn't be a danger. You expect her to be more than a handful though for anyone who'd act forcefully against her though. For any magic tests you'd want to do though, that's up to you. It doesn't sound like a magic power but just a supernatural one, like Eula's abilities as a changeling; they're not magical, just some advancement of biology. That would explain why your attemtps to magically calm her down didn't work, in the same way that trying to magically dispel or see through Eula's disguises doesn't work.

As for the rabbitfolk, with Ragna talking she calms down more and is a little better to talk. Her name is Nime, of an age which doesn't directly translate to human years. She was a messenger and scout for the mercenary group, and has survival skills and common domestic work experience, for helping mending the equipment of the mercenaries, dealing with basic ailments and cooking, camp work like that.

>>1575472
Okay, that's what i had in mind, let's go get the orc fellow and explain to him the deal with her and what he should avoid doing

>>1575568
>>1575582
>>1575584
She gives a hollow laugh when you tell her what the orc has in mind, and she doesn't think he'll be asking. She also says though that she's not going to just accept it, and even if she did, if he tries anything she'll go into a blood fury anyway, unintentionally and fight back. She doesn't have her weapons, and she recognizes the orcs are a strong and hardy people, but he'd be a fool if he thinks she'll just become his sweet little reserved human mistress.

>>1575584
>We need to know if she knows, if she's somehow oblivious to it she needs to know, don't want her to rage out or have a breakdown

Well, that is why we are already telling the orc that 'it would be better to get to know her and all before trying to make a Mistress', because if he just demands it to her, things can go bad, but we don't even know if the orc would actually demand it to her, since they are no proper slaves.

Remember that and go fetch the orc, tell him what she said and

In private

Got to head out for a couple hours, will continue when I get back. In the meantime feel free to plan and discuss and whatnot!

>>1575600
Well, now, how to deal with the bunnygirl and Gwen?

Hmm, maybe we can tell her that we just took her as a servant? Only for a short time (we pay her and she buys/earn her freedom?)?

How would Gwen react to that?

>>1575618
Basically, what does Gwen think of 'indentured servitude with some more rights and an actual end-date so they can become free at the fullness of time'.

>>1575618
Well we did took her as a servant, that's what i wanted her for
To look over the house and basically be a maid while we're out and i rather keep her to be honest

>>1575686
>>1575618
I wanted her for breeding once she was okay with us desu
But if you people want her for maid things i can wait a little

>>1575713
Damn dude
I think I want to now too
Once she recovers and starts seeing us as her friend we could try something.

>>1575713
you want furry kids instead of berzerk ones? lol

Rolled 100 (1d100)

>>1575600
Maybe we could have her as well when the orc hear about it >:)
I rolling for it

>>1575719
Why not Start small with friendly chats to get to know her then move onto subtle actions so she starts desiring us and when she likes us make an "accidental" move on her
She's our battle won Spouse after all
And since there's no problem when we marry an Orc we could put some buns in her oven too
If you catch my drift ;)
>>1575722
Of course, energetic kids sure beat the brats the berserkers could be

>>1575724
Holy Fuck
Use that roll to seduce/spark desire for us in the bunne
PLEASE

>>1575724
HahahahahahahHh
Clearly this was destiny :D

>>1575724
What is that roll for?

For the orc desiding that it is not worth it, giving us both of them?

If so, count me in.

>>1575728
I don't really care about the bunny girl but if get norden girl too we can use that roll to seduce the bunny

>>1575734
Yes it was

>>1575739
Okay
Just making a suggestion
If he does still want her then we ARE using the roll yes?

>>1575745
He doesn't after that roll

Rolled 89 (1d100)

If he rolled for the northern woman I'll roll for bunne

>>1576007
Hey
That's pretty good

>>1575724
I just realized, with that 100 ge might even end up giving us something as insentive to take the woman.

>>1576007
For seduction
Or just sparking attraction towards us

>>1576041
Well, seduction is a little bit to much for a resently traumatized person.

Wouldn't you rather us it for a friendly conversation?

Things like easing her worries, clearing misunderstandings, getting to know each other.

It is to say, her companions just got killed.

>>1576074
It doesn't need to be vocal or anything, just enough for her to find the mc attractive, it could actions and stuff but conversation to calm her down and assure her we're not going to treat her like an Orc would is okay

>>1576087
>we're not going to treat her like an Orc would is okay

>Assuming orc treat 'slaves' badly.

That is racist. Joke

>>1576099
Patching up slaves only to fuck them later isn't bad treatment?

>>1576126
...wasn't that eventually?

Like, once she was fully healed and more confortable?

>>1576247
Yeh but they do it differently, we'll actually get to know her unlike them, like the orc said, patch up and then try for Mistress
No "Lets talk" bit

>>1576254
Ok, though, isn't that also an assumption?

Also, I found this piece of text that pretty much explains what I want:
'The very least that could be done would be to encourage theadoption of the Roman model- atleast there, aslong as you weren't being sent to die in the mines, the base assumption is that you would eventually emancipate and then smoothly step into a role as a socioeconomicemployee/subordinate of your former owner, receiving a variable amount of initial help setting up on your own in exchange for sustaining a connection to your ex-owner's economic interests and meeting with him regularlyto coordinate with him on future business moves. Also, laws against being anenormous dickhole to your slaves, and some kind of institutionalizedbacklash for outright killing them.'

Though again, they want them more as spouces than as slaves.

>>1576269
Is Rav going to accept another spouse/wife tho?

>>1576328
What are you talking about?

Don't you want the bunny as a maid?

She is fine with having lovers as Ruta because she only comes from time to time, but they wouldn't aprove of a spouce (IIRC).

I said that THEY (the orcs) whant THEM (the other survivors) more as spouces than as slaves.

I was just specifying if the roller wanted something to go specifically the way he wanted, however he wanted. If he's not present it will just go off what he stated.

>>1576545
Anything? Well, I am not the one that rolled, but what if, appart from having the orc give use the berserker, the women also get creeped out by the construction and offer us to take her instead (for a small amount of money or something like that?)

That being said, can we use it so a subjects from our mother's enemy desides to betray them, slowing him down/killing the enemy? And that said subject had no interest in us?

>>1576570
You're pushing a bit too much, we're not going to look good to the orcs if we end up with 3 even if the owners gave them to us

The Frenzy woman and the bunny are okay

Dontrelle take the childrens doll, you monster

>>1576570
>That being said, can we use it so a subjects from our mother's enemy desides to betray them, slowing him down/killing the enemy? And that said subject had no interest in us?

No since that is beyond this situation of the conflict and aftermath.

If you want to share the 100 to the construct though, that seems fair then. Very greedy, but fair.

So first thing's first, with Ragna awake now and learning of her situation, you make good on your promise and tell her to accompany you to her fate. It seems pointless by now to refuse but she reminds you she'll resist either by choice or by nature. A little while searching through town and you find the orc supposedly "owning" her though, for which he's glad to see her and draws her close which she struggles against. You quickly remind him of what you learned of her condition though, and while he doesn't seem too worried about her potential danger to himself, he doesn't like the idea of potential children inheriting some sort of blood curse from her. Obviously he's a little upset then to not really have gotten much out of the raid and victory, but that's not a grievance he has with you.

Letting go of Ragna then, you ask what his plan is for her. He says if she won't serve as a mistress and runs the risk of freaking out and killing people, he doesn't want to be responsible for her. Just shove her off onto the tribe, eventually some other orc won't mind and perhaps even appreciate half-orc berserker children. Taking the chance before that happens then, you quietly offer Ragna to come with you. She seems none too happy with this, you being a filthy traitor in her eyes and all, but in favor of being passed around the tribe she finally accepts and follows you back to your place in Arba's home. Nime is glad to see her again and wonders what's gone on, but thanks you for it anyway.

>>1576575
Maybe later then, if at all? See first how things go with the prisoners you did take, and if it doesn't work out then maybe seek the construct?

>>1576575
lol

Ok, though if you read my post, you will see that instead of greed it would be more like 'Look, we don't actually want to deal with them, do you think you can have her instead? Yes? Thanks.'

>>1576590
Ok, though if you had read my post you would've noticed i wrote even if the owners gave them to us
And why do you even want her? She's not that useful to us, we already have a future maid.
Plus, she's creepy

>>1576601
Oh Snap!
Sassy
Although, i support this
>>1576587
Explain what happened to her and ask if they would like a bath? We can ask the Goblin to prepare one
And is the bathroom secure? No escape routes or something?

>>1576587
My 89 isn't going to get used right?

>>1576606
They very obviously would like to get washed and cleaned, considering they're covered in blood and dirt, and Nime is injured. You probably can't expect to go in and watch them though. The guest bathroom itself isn't as secure as you'd like, but then it's not like they can just get out and escape through town; they'll stand out like sore thumbs.

>>1576609
I was still dealing with the 100, but how would you want to play out the 89?

>>1576590
>>1576587
>Very greedy, but fair.

*Sigh* No, thanks.

Now, how to use more of that 100?

Hmm, what about having some trolls come over and join?

Increase in the reputatiom among our people?

Also, how is Zela doing? We should probably go and talk to her.

And how much longet until the queen's enemie comes? And until we can get out of here with a tribe?

>>1576619
We could always train some more and increase either or magic or combat capabilities.

>>1576614
Patch up Nime while we wait for the Goblin to get everything ready, use the refilling bottle, change and clean bandages, etc.
All of that and
>>1576087

>>1576619
>>1576623
No it doesn't work like that lol, you can't bank or share rolls. You got a 100 for that specific situation and could have it go whatever way you wanted. You can't have it work out some, and then try to cash in more for something else completely.

>>1576614
>I was still dealing with the 100, but how would you want to play out the 89?

>>1576619
>*Sigh* No, thanks.

Well, to be fair, I wanted to use the 100 so it DIDN'T strike as greedy.

Can we use that 100 so the vapire losses the will to escape/the orc loss the desire to kill him?

>>1576619
Zela you're not sure about, last you saw she was cowering away from all the violence. You can go look for her though, when you go to look for your healing potion bottle.

As for the enemy, you don't know. You can leave though to meet with another tribe whenever you want to now. The vampire and his lot are dealt with so you're free to act without much worry.

>>1576625
You try to do your best for Nime now then leave to look for your refilling bottle, telling her and Ragna to stay put while the goblin servant fixes up the guest washroom for them.

You search around and find the refilling bottle with Rav whom was using it to help the last of the injured townsfolk. She thanks you for it though, and compliments you for your actions and planning today, saying you gained a lot of respect from the different groups.

After that you continue to search for Zela and have to ask around to find her. Eventually you do though, her hiding and crying behind a stack of boxes while a couple other goblins try to cheer her up. When you approach and they notice your presence though, she quickly tries to hide her tears and put on a fake look of happiness in asking what's going on and how you're doing?

>>1576638
Give her a piggyback ride back to the girls
Ask her what's up with her? Why is she crying?

>>1576647
>Ask her what's up with her? Why is she crying?

...are you serious?

>>1576638
Telm her that we are sorry that she had to see that. That we didn't know of the orc's practices, and will try to deal with them somehow.

>>1576658
No we won't, this is what they do
We're not going to tell them to stop their battle tradition because one goblin can't stomach it

>>1576663
>We're not going to tell them to stop their battle tradition because one goblin can't stomach it

Sure, I am fine with that, not with asking her what is wrong, though.

Maybe explaining it to her.

>>1576647
You ask to speak to her alone, which the other goblins bicker about but leave at her asking them to. In particular you try and get out of her, why she's sad, which takes a good bit of work for her to open up that much. You even apologize to her for what she saw, which she's utterly confused by your saying sorry. She's not bothered about the fighting or the aftermath. She says that she saw what happened with all the fighting, and was upset to see you join along with the orcs after and working with them in divvying up the spoils and doling out judgements and mediating. She thinks you're amazing and looks up to you, but she thought you were special and good, kind. So for her to see you just join in with them, was upsetting for her to see you behaving like them and participating in the violence. She fears it's only a matter of time till you're joining in the fighting and killing and are just as brutal as the rest of them. The idea of that worries her because in her eyes you're like a paragon of virtue and leadership, being human and exempt from the foibles of her kind, the greenies. She wants to believe you could always be good and inspire, but maybe living among the orcs, gobs and others, can sully even you overtime.

>Pick up Gob

About the violence we joined in to protect our people, to try to lessen the casualties on our side, not to kill because they were the enemy
As for the slaves, she knows what orcs do with battle won slaves right? We're not going to do that, Nime, the bunny girl will be our maid so she can help us with the housework and Ragna will be our trainer, we'll treat them like normal people, not like mistresses or anything like that.

>As for the slaves, she knows what orcs do with battle won slaves right?

She has no problem with either of those things and accepts them as the way they are, in fact gobs do them as well if they can. The problem she has is with you doing them.

You pick her up to carry her which she panics, especially when you put her up on your shoulders. She clings to your head in fear and pleads with you not to drop her, and what was a nice gesture is actually very scary for her. Maybe better to settle for carrying her normally, though after that shoulder ride she clings firmly to you clothes and buries her face in your chest so she doesn't have to look down and be any more afraid. Though, she still shakes like a leaf the whole time till you return to your home.

Once there you find Nime and Ragna again waiting, and introduce Zela to them. She's obviously shy and hides behind your leg, but you can tell she feels a bit better when you turn your attention to Nime and helping her. With the use of the refilling bottle, the rabbitfolk's wounds heal properly, save for the lost fur in those places, but she's surprised by your gesture and thanks you for your kindness. She can't help but ask why you're sticking your neck out for her and Ragna, assuming the orcs could turn on you if you show weakness.

>>1576719
The fuck?
Didn't we do this before? And didn't she like it?
When Rav first showed up at the castle?

The Orcs can't exactly see me doing this can they? And I doubt they will, I'll loose some respect at most but that's it
Plus, It doesn't sit right with me to just let you suffer when I can do something about it

>>1576729
No that's Nime asking you the question, not Zela.

>>1576719
For starters we're human, the orc thing about patching her up only to screw her after she's well, doesn't really sound that appealing to us.
As for the orcs, they won't, they're technically "ours" right? We decide what we can do with our
>Battle Won Spouses!
All of that in a joking not serious way

>>1576737
What? The first bit is referring to carrying Zela
The rest is for Nime

>>1576739
And they just kind of got caight between a disagreement between the man that hired them and us, which also got caught in a disagreement between the person that hired her and us, so it is not like we have anything against her or anything like that.

>>1576744
Wasn't a shoulder ride.

>>1576739
None of them take the joke well. Ragna just spits at the idea, Nime seems shocked and embarrassed, and Zela you detect a hint of jealousy as her grip of your leg tightens.

Fortunately the awkwardness doesn't last long though, when the servant returns and says the guest washroom is ready for anyone intending to use it. With a sour look, Ragna says for Nime to go with her so they can clean up and be done with it. Thinking it would help to smooth things over with them though, you ask the servant goblin for some help on where to get some new clothes which might fit them? She tells you where in town, roughly, and along the way with Zela's help you're able to find it for sure. You ask for a few sets just in case, and are able to return shortly, while the two captives are still washing clean.

Assumedly once they're done and dressed, you'll have the rest of the afternoon and evening to do as you please, then tomorrow you can depart to meet with a different group of orcs in the forest.

>>1576750
Ask Zela to peek in and check if they're still there

>>1576752
A simple enough action, Zela checks and confirms they are, though they actually ask for a brush. Or, Nime does at least. Otherwise though they seem smart enough to not just try and escape for the time being.

>>1576754
Okay
Ask Zela to go ask the other gob for a brush

Responses for Nime's question?

>>1576773
Well it was more a formality, but you can have answered her question. It wasn't a complicated matter since it was based on an understanding, that she thinks you're the orcs' captive or just an advisor or something, rather than a leader of some of them.

>>1576763
>60

While you're at it you figure to take a peek inside, it couldn't hurt right? Stealthily you open the door and look for what you can. The sight is about as expected, Ragna is in the washtub while Nime sits beside it and brushing her fur, probably after having already washed up first in the tub. You do get a decent look of her though from behind, as the two talk. At some point because of a noise outside, they turn to look your way, which you're quick enough to avoid being seen, but they noticed the door open a little and thinking it's Zela again ask what she wants. You just let it close though and rush back to your room in case.

Eventually another ten minutes or so you hear a call from them for their clothes, but you intercept the goblin servant along the way and give her the new clothes for them to try on. It's awhile later but finally they return to your room looking much better. That is, not covered in blood and dirt, and wearing decent clothes, not tatters left so by the orcs trying to check them out.

They both thank you, and Nime says how they got to talking, and that they both appreciate your helping them out. She admits it may be too soon to say, but she hopes that you don't come into trouble for showing this mercy to them. Ragna too, says she won't just ignore this kindness, but admits she doesn't fully trust you. It would help if you better explained what you have in mind for them, since so far it seems like you're just being needlessly nice. More than a little suspicious, to say the least, after you organized their comrades being butchered.

>>1576791
>Yeah, i can see how being nice is suspicious
>You gotta understand, I don't want to go home, I want to live my life my way, I couldn't bargain with the vampire and the chieftess here was ready to fight, which made my choices really limited
>As for what I have in mind, Mine will help me with the housework here and in my future house and for Ragna I would appreciate it if you could train me, with fitness and combat

>>1576809
>Mine
>Nime

>>1576809
Again, they're a little suspicious, but looking at one another and knowing the consequences otherwise they uneasily accept. Nime can't complain about housework, and Ragna says she can train you up if that's what you're after, though she does directly ask you what happened to the vampire? If he wasn't killed, she'd like to do so, for him putting the mercenary group through this fiasco. If you could give her that, and you're true to your word about not stringing them along, then she says you'll have her loyalty.

>>1576820
>Well, I'm sorry to disappoint you but i can't do that
>My mom has his wife hostage so until we get her out or I turn myself in I can't kill him without feeling guilty

>>1576834
Talking like that, now they just have to know who you are, and who your mother is. Ragna at least, outright asks you, but Nime is also clearly interested.

>>1576838
Wait what?
>You don't know?
>The Evil Queen of []

>>1576849
Nime's jaw drops, while Ragna laughs in disbelief and says you must be lying. She's not even from remotely around these parts and even she knows the evil prince wouldn't be scraping out a living among some little orc town in the backwater of the elven forests. You may need some effort to convince her to believe you, as Nime seems to.

>>1576871
>Why us that so hard to believe? Isn't the vampire enough? Why would a vamp go recruit so many for one guy?
>Well
>When Mom decides to come down you'll see I'm telling the truth
We should also take a bath too, we must be pretty sticky after all of this

>>1576886
She supposes the vampire is pretty good evidence considering where he was supposed to be taking you when they captured you. But then that could just be that you pissed the queen off or something and she wants you alive to punish you.

You can take a bath no problem though, you want the goblin to draw you a new one?

>>1576933
Yeah
The four of us can hang in the meantime, answer any questions they might have
Maybe get Zela to interact with them too

Goodnight Op

>>1576942
You spend the time with them then, till you're ready to wash up, conversing and getting to know them better. With Zela there as well you try to get her involved, and Nime takes a liking to her at least. You give them a chance to explore the guest quarters you were afforded while you wash up, then it's to dinner as you have a pretty decent time and introduce them to your companions. Well, except for Sephaly as usual, that can come later when Nime and Ragna are better settled in.

After dinner, Arba finds you and expects you to be spending the night together as is usual by now. Also for good purpose this time though, since you'll be setting out tomorrow to meet with another orcish group. Your choice towards this possibility, but either way you consider maybe letting Nime and Ragna to stay with your companions. Like with Rika, should be fairly safe, you can trust her to keep an eye on them and keep them out of trouble from the townsfolk. Just a thought though. If you are to cozy up with Arba, you might not want to subject them to listening to that, by staying in your guest room back in Arba's house.

https://discord.gg/zv2aBhH

>>1576663
Uh, actually, I think you misunderstood. I didn't mean to enforce that, doing something as offering rewards should be enough.

It is to say, I am sure that doing something for money/recognition/respect/any benefit/to help the tribe ('For this battle we need to capture as many prisoners as posible') is already part of their culture.

>>1577495
It's a case where, because it was a battle which took place in the town, effectively the mercenaries attacking their home to their reasoning, they were pretty ruthless about leaving survivors and cruel to them. Indeed, there would have been more but by the time you reached them, they'd already killed off most of them, leaving some kids and an old man, and captives considered appealing enough to warrant keeping alive as trophies of victorious fighters who wanted them.

Compare with a battle which may have taken place a good distance away from their homes, you wouldn't expect it to be a cakewalk for the surviving captives, but they also wouldn't be tortured and scourged in cruel retribution.

>>1577506
Couldn't we have TOLD somebody to imprision the vampire the way we did instead of overseeing the process?
Seems like what we would do for sheer logic if we wanted to rescue some survivors.

And what do we need to do to kill the vampire? Just tell the orcd to kill him? Would they do it publivaly or just stab him in the sell and trow the body somewhere.

Keeping the noise down

>>1577586
If you'd have just told them though, then you may have gotten to the combat sooner, but there was a chance they'd have messed up containing the vampire and he'd get out. It was a possibility between properly securing him personally, or saving more survivors personally.

>>1577709
It was something you told only Nime and Ragna. They have the sense not to go talking about that, knowing how the orcs might react. Now later on, or if you make their lives miserable, they might spill the beans to try and get back at you now. But currently they're keeping the secret.

And no, Arba didn't tell anyone either..

>>1578023
You decide to keep the two captives in Arba's house with you, and maybe just be a little more sensible about fooling around with the big orc. Yes though, Zela would still hang around if you'd not send her away.

>>1578153
No you don't know, neither did the vampire. He thought it would be within a month or two (at the time when you talked about it) but he had no further idea about it.

>>1578157
You want to roll for something just randomly happening someplace else in the world, which you have no contact or input with, to go a certain way? Maybe Nadira's divining could do something about it, but no, you can't just sit on your hands imagining a situation and hoping it comes true for a roll to take place.

You could take anyone's house as your own by asking, being the leader. Or stay with anyone for that matter, like Rav. The only issue is that the new houses built for your group were all made well, but quickly so they're all pretty similar and made only for the capacity of one family. So you could say, go to Rav and ask her to stay in her house, but there's going to have to be doubling up in the bed and people sleeping on the furniture or floor. Or get another bed, but still doubling up required.

Besides that though, you've still got the situation between you and Arba. It was never supposed to be something permanent, but it's admittedly really nice, so you'd be quite reluctant to end it.

>Zela is still with us
Excellent, that means that a slumber party with her is possible!
Could she stay the night with us? While we get to know the girls further and smooth things over even more? To start treating then like friends
That way we don't sleep with Arba and we get to know the two and Zela gets two friends

>>1578343
That will disappoint Arba, though :V

>>1578355
If possible we can sneak out once they're asleep and give her a surprise visit

You can do this but it's going to be pretty weird. Both the idea of it, and also because of what they just went through and how you only just met but they're you're captives.

If you want to try it though you can roll and make a pitch for how you want to offer up this proposition. To Nime and Ragna that is, Zela would love to do it anyway without need of convincing.

Oh and forgot about the second part but for the vampire, what little you know it shouldn't be terribly hard. Just staking him through the heart and removing his head should do the trick, added bonus for taking the remains out into the sun.

>>1578362
Uh, to be fair, having a party the day your companions day seems pretty akwards.

What about giving then a moment to get over it, out of respect?

>>1578362
And if we only talk? Without calling it a slumber part, friendly chats to calm them and get to know them more
Zela could accompany us too

>>1578374
Yeah, this
Moral support, show them we want to help

>>1578374
>>1578377
Uh, that seems fine.

And we can go with Arba later, so I don't mind.

>>1578374
Team meetings you mean?
I'm on board for that.
