Besides what that guy did had nothing to do with youthful vigor. More like dark elder god fury channeled through his bones.

"Dammit mom, have no fears! It's a new town, and we can start a new family thing- like ya know... family stuff. New Beginnings!"

"... heh, well since you're so enthusiastic, then lets go on in."

"Why is it so dark in here?"

"This is only the walkway to the front gate, Leafgate is a metropolis built into the center of the mountain. It'll be dark til we reach the first gate."


so... gotta wright up leafgate some more... what i have on hand isn't much other than npcs and specific locations. send me some questions if you have any to the discus thread.

Hello, I do not believe we have formally met. We are a group of bloody crazy voices that are likely going to make your current problems seem like a day in the park.

I take it you are Jacob?

>>379365
No, we have already met future-Jacob. Unless there are more of him around than Kid-Jacob and Armor-Jacob, this guy is someone else.

"Oy, what... oh, it's the orb... feh, guess you guys are awake."

>>379365
"We met, though you didn't ask us anything. Moria dragged me there, remember? You might not be the same ones... dammit, i really don't have the brain power for this crap. Yes, i'm jacob... but other jacob... don't want to explain it. Too complicated."

>>379367
"Guess i gotta explain it anyway, so there are three of us. One's called Moria, he's an uppity douchebag. I'm Chrestomanci, the only person that stops the stupid bastard from actually taking over the whole goddamn world. And then there is actual Jacob, Moria doesn't know about him yet and i wish to keep him in the dark. The actual jacob is the one who actually gets sent to me. Don't ask me to explain, time stuff and it's not important.

Any who, what do you guys want... actually, gimme your opinion on something. Would you wipe out an entire goblin village because they were stealing cattle? mind you, these gobbos are... let's just say the big melon types."

Well nice to meet you Chrestomanci. Figured time shenanigans were involved... they always are.

Anyways, about your question; I'd say the best way to do it is not to kill them, but make them have to pay off the farmers who lost cattle. Labor, favors, resources, or.. other favors if you want that sort of thing. Killing them would likely just entice other tribes. The smarter ones would likely want to avenge their buddies, the dumber ones would think we dealt with them to protect our endless cow supply.

An alternative is to find out why they are stealing cattle too. Solve the problem there and it may either stop or slow down repeats.

By actual-jacob do you mean the kid, or are there three jacob-based time travelers (including you)?

About the goblins, I think property theft is generally not major enough to warrant death unless there is some other crime or consequence involved. Also, wiping out the entire village would likely hit some not involved in the actual theft.

"Wait... what? No, kid jacob is... huh? When are you seeing this from? No, i mean there is a third Jacob that is the same age as me and Moria- At the current time... the time that is now... that is not past or future... i don't even know when you are. You're just confusing me now, i give up.

Anyway, the goblin thing- going to negotiate something with them sounds fair enough. Maybe collect myself a new assistant, eh?
Maybe mom would enjoy a trip outside the tower also... What should i bring, i have a decent covey of mages and warlocks but i don't know if i should bring something flashy or just an illusionist to see if i can talk the gobbos down. Maybe might need some muscle to protect mother. What do you guys think?"

Well, a change of scenery can always perk up the mood though you should bring a few mages specialized in defenses and perhaps trap detection. Illusionists should work as well since we want them to cooperate, not kill them. Either way, you seem like you can handle quite a few spells. What's your specialty? Makes planning a bit easier.

How is your mother anyway? I hope she is doing alright.

>>379413
Eh, just wipe out the place and sell everyone as slaves. You can reserve one or two personal slaves. See, problem solved. And now people won't steal cattle in your area because you don't fuck around and give people concessions for being criminal scum.

Ok, so apparently we are the time traveling ones, and there are three of you through some other means. The last thing we saw, Jacob was still a kid, and an (apparently time traveling) adult Moria rescued Staroshi from this crazy blackguard who would have otherwise killed her (and seems to have done so in time traveling Moria's original timeline).

How many Staroshis are there around in your time?

"Yes, I recall that aswell. I looked into it further and it just doesn't add up... there is only one of my mother, and it seems all the other variants just die off. It's batshit crazy i say."

"Sir, Miss Ellen is here. She says he has slain the dirge dragon in Martordorl and is heading to the Swins Peak Mountains to take out the dragon up there. She also believes that an accomplice of the Dragon Tamer is up in the forests around those mountains, what do you wish to reply?"

"Ah, fantastic, tell her she doing a decent job. Also tell here there is word of a rampant monster that's been roaming the hillside, we think its a wild satyr."

"Is there anything else, sir?"

"Hmmmmm, here. Take this crystal ball, it's no use to me anymore. It might give you assistance in your apprenticeship, let the other girls use it aswell."

"Oh neat, what's it do?"

"It talks to you, and gives advice. I'm calling it a Talk Baron Sphere, and it's either give it to you or sell it on the market for a pretty coin."

"I'll definitely take it!!!!"

did you guys get tired of this quest or something?

(Sometimes the board is slow like that.)

Hello there. Can you hear us?

Oh. Ummmm... hello? Man this is awkward. Usually we switch owners a bit more dynamically than this. No offense or anything, we are just a bit caught off guard.

b-blackguards!? ... no... your joking.

>>382871
Uh... hmmm... well since you mentioned something, you are given to me to aid in my studies i guess you can help me with something... so... there is a special someone that i like, but so do the other apprentice mages, but i want this special someone to like me more then the others... wanna help me out on this one?

oh, sorry that guy is a ROCK, he hates everyone.

To be honest, trying to woo him overtly is going to go badly if everyone else is doing it. Just be nice, help him with small tasks, get him his favorite drink(non alcoholic. No making him drunk to try and woo him), polite small talk about this and that. Just take it easy and do not jump the gun.

>>383575
Him? Yeah that's probably going to take quite a bit of work unless you go the direct route of drugs and reverse rape, but that's not something you can build a lasting relationship on. That and it might not work, so bad idea all around.

To get him you're probably going to have to work your way into being his assistant or something. Then get him to rely on your more and more and eventually getting him into the sack.

hey, you're right.

>>383603
yeah, take it slow... i just want to be more important to him then the other girls.

OH MY GOD, HE FELL ASLEEP AGAIN!! ... what should i do?

leave, if he passed out then he must be really tired, so waking him up will just make him grumpy.

Make some coffee (or closest analogue) and leave it on hi desk. Put it where he can't accidentally spill it, too.

>>384395
also cover he's back with a blanket so he won't get cold

>>384395
Make sure he doesn't drool on any important papers, put a nice fluffy pillow under his head and then put a blanket over him so he doesn't get cold. Then I guess you could stay and watch him sleep like some creepy stalker.

"...dammit mom... what happened to you..."

He's soo cute. I don't have a blanket on hand, but i used my robes to keep him warm and found a pillow under his desk. I even got him a cup of warm jump juice, mostly my own concoction. Cus... well, i have a little skill in herbalism and potion making....

>>384423
... i'm not gonna watch him sleep... well maybe for a couple minutes but not any longer. I need to occupy myself with something else, what do you suggest?

Potionmaking? Baby, you can MAKE him love you. Slip a love potion in his jump juice next time.

Yeah... no potion making. Those things tend to back fire like NUTS. You said you were a secretary right? Maybe do some paper work that you are allowed to do so he's not flooded in the stuff. Probably some anti migraine medicine when he wakes up too.

>>384630

He still looks cold to me.

I'm not too good at being a secretary either, but i can be a thief!!! And i already made some headache stuff, it's in the juice already.

>>384700
... should i go hunt for a blanket?

>>384730
Guess you could read through some of his stuff and see what he needs to get done or something. Or go out there and learn magic. Just something that would make you more of a back up assest to him.

>>384730

Yeah, get him a blanket.

>>384880
It might take a long time to find another blanket. You've got other stuff on. Give him that right now. You can get it back when you get a blanket.

...i'm wearing natsu garb, it isn't supposed to keep you warm. It's supposed to make it easier to traverse silently and also protect you from harm.

OH, it's the competition....
"w-well, uh..."
"Nothing to say? Hand it over and we won't hurt you."

Oh my... they sure are feisty when it comes down to it. Well, we can be pretty scary ourselves. Inform her that you are keeping this orb safe due to how dangerous it is and it is unwise to hold us without being properly prepared. If they try to use brute force or say they are worthy to hold us, let them touch the orb.

[If anyone other than Telia holds us at the moment, subject that person to the entirety of /b/, Two girls, one cup, and youpoop. Telia will not be affected by this effect.]

>>384956
[i second this idea]

>>384953
Well that seems like an annoying bunch of people. Tell them to sod off, then kick the first one to move in the groin, run like hell after that.

He did say to share us with the other girls and I'm guessing these are them. I would say to just share but threatening you just isn't cool.

There's no reason to make a story up. Just say that you got the orb to help your apprenticeship and that you were supposed to share it but it doesn't want to help anyone thats going to try and use violence to take us away from our holder. Also that we want them to try to take us away from our current holder, we want them to touch us.

Offer us to them, but tell them that you aren't responsible if it melts their brains like it did with the old Baron.

U GOT A PURDY MOUTH

Why hellooooooooooooooo there~ so you dealt with Madam Starshroi hmmmm~? We happen to know her rather well. In fact we know many, MANY stories. Perhaps you would like to hear them in vivid detail? For instance, there was the time...
[ramble about various inane quests]
...then the halfing mixed the goblin ale with the elven pudding, drank it and...
[ramble about more inane quests]
..I then made the dwarf tie the ever burning torches in his beard, smash the decapitated bear head through the wooden door and scream bloody murder at the bandits. Three of them soiled themselves profusely.
[Oh god, why won't I shut up?]
And that is how through various shenanigans and a rubber hose a elven wizard spent the rest of eternity falling down stairs.
