She is a female Anhata. What does she specialize in? Strength, Agility, Magic, or some combination of the three?

(You cannot pick all three, and multiples will result in being a bit weaker in both.)

Agility.

Agility/Magic combo, might as well play to our strengths.

>>419029
yes

Pure magic! Become the mightiest magical bird!

Agility, I still want my Assassin's Creed style awesome.

Magic. We're a bird so we'll still be a little agile, but yeah. Magic

I don't think tgchan has had as many iconic mages compared to the more warrior/stealthy types. Lets try to fix that hm?

>>419026
Strength, do offset our natural disadvantage somewhat.

No way, we specialize in something we're good at, or end up mediocre in everything.

She is a mage, for what does she live? The university? The state? Coin? Or is she devoted to something else?

The university. A searcher of knowledge and ruins of the unknown! Though generally what you'd consider a decent person as well.

university.

The state. The independent anhata need little from others. Clearly the outsiders must know the glory of your nation.

Shiny Things! Birds love shiny things!

Yes, an overwhelming compulsion to acquire shiny things. Especially coins, but also other glittery things, precious or not.

She is a student at the Warnahn University with a preoccupation with all things shiny. How does she dress? What is her name?

Keep her outfits as mage/student-y as possible. Feel free to play around with her colors as well.

Yellow and blue Macaw style. Complimentary colors are always a plus

As for outfit.. i dunno a slightly more wizardy version of this >>419034 ladies outfit wouldn't hurt. Keeping to lighter or more drab tones save a few trinkets. Our feathers provide color already after all.

Her name is Seegan. She wears a simple, school-appointed neophyte robe, a scarf with her university's colours (because it is cold in the mountains), and carries a bag of beginner scrolls and books.

>>419230
I like this idea, but she needs a hat! Every wizard's got to have a hat. Also, maybe some cosmetics; earrings are problematic, so's lipstick, how about ornamental beak painting?

>>419231
That is a hood on the back of her robe, so she can cover up her head if it gets too cold and windy. Does that count as a hat?

There's something to be said for having hoods as students, and getting proper wizard hats for graduation.

she wears a robe and goes totally commando.

“Oooh, this is one of those soul-jar thingies! It gives it's wearer all kinds of useful advice and stuff! And it's shiny! Finders keepers, Ellie! Might be broken though. It's saying a lot of stuff, and it's not making much sense. Ah, well, a shiny's a shiny!”

“How many times do I have to tell you, it's Ellire. And I wouldn't want a stupid thing like that anyway. Relying on anything but your own judgment's bound to cause you nothing but trouble.”

“Okie. Wanna try the next room over? That crystal sphere thing could be in there...”

>>419397
>Who's your Rakit friend?
She's my roommate, Ellie! They usually don't let Rakits into the university, but she had "astounding academic achievement". She's the first Rakit I ever knew. She's all cute and fuzzy!

>What sort of spells do you know?
I know a fire spell that makes things I touch burn, a spell that lets me mold rock like clay, a levitation spell that floats me a few feet of the ground for a few minutes, and a telekinesis spell that lets me lift light stuff. Oh, and a transportation spell, but if I go more than five or ten feet it doesn't work right sometimes.
>Where are we now?
We're in the "ruins of Acknarzand". Some ancient race lived here a long time ago!
>Do you know why the headmaster sent you? Who's the headmaster and what are they like?
Nopety nope nope. The Headmaster only said it was of vital importance that me and the foreigner go get some "Sphere of infinite sight" from these ruins.

sounds like a crystal ball that can see anything. cool. and your friend is partially right. it is best to use your own judgement but having people give you ideas helps a lot. so we give you ideas and you decide which idea you like best, even if it's none that we came up with.

No ranged spells huh? Make note to fix that. A burning touch doesn't mean much if the other guy can just stab you. What limits are there on your magic in terms of use?

Do you know what spells Ellire's knows? Could be handy if you guys ever need to make a plan.

How much of the ruins have you explored so far? what exits are there in the current room?

Forgive the twenty questions mam' just making sure I know what we've got available to us.

Ancient Temple huh? Be on the lookout for traps and cursed magic items.

I can teleport instantly! But I get real confused after I cast it, so I can't cast anything for about five or ten seconds after I cast it.

>>419419
>Do you know what spells Ellire's knows? Could be handy if you guys ever need to make a plan.
No, but I know somebody who does know!

"Ellie! The Shiny wants to know what spells you know!"
"For the last time, my name's- Ugh, forget it. If your trinket wants to know so badly, I know a light spell, a blinding flash spell, spell that makes a illusion doppelganger for either myself or someone I'm touching for a few seconds, a basic first aid spell that makes me feel weak for the rest of the day, and a completely useless invisibility spell that only makes my body disappear. Terrible, I know."

>How much of the ruins have you explored so far? what exits are there in the current room?
We've gone through two rooms. They were both empty! How weird is that!?

These places are mostly real tiny, so they don't take long! It's the traps n' monsters 'n stuff you've got to worry about!

does the doppelganger have weight? and can it interact with things like strings?

The last doesn't sound completely useless... the robe looks like its quick to shed and as long as shes not wearing anything underneath theres a quick escape from danger!

The invisibility spell isn't entirely useless. You can look around corners if you are not wearing a hat or hood.

Does your stone-clay spell let you climb walls or ceilings?

>>419642
Illusions tend not to have any physical presence. I can see it being combined with teleport though, for a very convincing body replacement effect.

>>419639
That invisibility spell doesn't seem completely useless- you just have to strip naked to use it fully. It'd work well if you absolutely must sneak into somewhere undetected. Also if you cast it and only wore pants you could look around corners and out of cover and all that jazz. Body-only invisibility is limiting in scope but not useless!

Alright anyway, we've got a decent handle on what you two can do, so... regain your focus and keep an eye out for traps as you enter the next room.

shake it off. that stone in the middle of the room looks off. perhaps a trap. and don't touch the staff. massive chance it's trapped. check the little chest behind it.

The casket probably has undead in it... think you can deal with the body before it wakes?

Fail to fail to undress Ellie with your eyes.

Ellire:"It's exactly what we're looking for. It's a crystal ball. We came all the way out to this gods' forsaken place for a crystal ball. I could have bought one of these in town for two gold."

...I don't get it.

At least you got us out of it. Think anything else shiny is around? That you can get at without setting off traps of course.

Lets not make any quick assumptions. It might -not- be what he's after... and if it -is- there might be to it then its appearance.

I mean come on you two are mages. Use your heads here would you?

Any new exits in this little room? and what can you tell us about that staff sitting there?

it could have a secret spell to activate it's true power and your master knows it.

Everything isn't always as it seems, perhaps the orb has some hidden powers or, even more likely, this was all just a test of your abilities.

It wasn't called a crystal ball. You remember. It was a sphere of something. Of infinite...something!

You are here for a sphere of infinite sight. That might just be a sphere of regular sight. Better make sure.

Nope! No new exits! The staff is all red and glowy! Can't tell anything else about it!

...Oh! A friend back home told me that transfiguration magic glows red! It's a transfiguration staff!

This could shiny ball could be what we're looking for, but it might not be! What should we do? Should we leave or keep looking?

then the staff is probably pre-activated and touching it turns you into a thing. can a doppel touch things? if so make one and have it move the staff, while you are around the corner. and what's that in the pedestal with the staff? just under it. and the big chest needs checking too.

The staff seems dangerous, let's check the big chest first. Don't suppose it's unlocked, huh? If not, can either of you pick locks?

Touch the orb to the staff. Best case scenario, it turns it into the sphere of infinite sight, worst case scenario, everything explodes or something. But seriously, it should at least cause the staff's effects to happen on the orb instead of you if they are harmful. Unless there's specific targeting parameters built into the staff, but you can only take as many precautions as you have resources for, and two novice magic-users don't have much to work with.

If the staff doesn't do anything to the orb, mold some stone around it so you can carry it without touching it directly and take it.

Could you use your telekinesis spell to lift the staff up from outside the room?
First though you should check the boxes, in case the staff is trapped to fill the room with unpleasantness.

Use the Staff on the Crystal Ball.

>>419865
Hrm. Yeah, may as well look in the big chest, but I suspect it's super trapped and a red herring besides. So be careful.

Ellie packs the lock to the big box and we go through it. It's mostly only robes and stuff, but a we find some stuff.

We found a dagger with a shiny in the handle, another shiny like you, and some scrolls we could learn spells from! Oh, and some potions.

Ellie says the black potion explodes when you throw it, the red one heals you no matter how bad you're hurt, the purple potion eats anything but flesh, and the blue potion makes magic work better. Ellie's the best at alchemy!

>Lockpicking
Only Ellie can pick locks! I asked her where she learned to do that but she wouldn't say.

>>419904
Hrm. Check the casket next then.

The casket / box that was beside the small chest, does it look like you can open it?

Does the other necklace have voices in it too?

Purple potion is best potion. Spill it all over your chest.

I guess let Ellie know about the other amulet. She didn't seem super thrilled about our existence though.

Keep a hold of the purple potion and the Blue potion. Give the other potions, the dagger, and the second Amulet to Ellie.

Stow the scrolls until you know what spells they are to sort out who would be best for learning each.

Now lets check out the pedestal the staff is in. Thing might be handy but the thing it's in screams of traps to me. Find anything odd on it besides the stick?

Might be a way for quick communication is you two get seperated for one reason or another. If nothing else we can relay what you say to her and vice-versa. .... tell her that and give her the amulet of many voices so she can make up her own mind.

>>419980
This seems like a good use for them!
Also, do NOT use up the purple potion, no matter what kind of shiny things Ellie may be wearing under the robes.

You never know if you might have to fight a golem or other animated construct, and the purple potion could be a very quick deciding factor in that kind of fight.

The staff seems like an obvious trap. Try throwing a robe over it and see what happens.

can the little chest be picked up? do so and throw it at the staff then duck behind the wall before it hits.

Think you can take down a skeletal undead of some sort? If you can try and dart in close to lay fire touch on it... if not we've gathered what we;ve came for so get the staff and vamoose.


... Wait a sec, that blue potion will it work on undead?

>>420191
You mean the purple potion? That eats everything but flesh?

If it's just a skeleton, I imagine it would melt quite nicely.

would rather save it but yeah, should be able to kill it, again, with that. try other things first though.

Considering it just effortlessly punched through a stone sarcophagus, going near this may not be wise.

>>420194
I don't think that's how it works. Otherwise, throwing it at someone would destroy any dead tissue such as hair and nails. In any event, it's a good thing that Phira didn't follow the suggestion of throwing the purple potion over Ellire.

This. Let's think of something else to beat the skeleton. The purple potion probably isn't the best thing to use to defeat anything organic. I think it's like "organic-safe" or something.

Lizardknight: "You two wussy mages made it out alive? Huh. Gimme the staff before I lop your heads off."

...She looks mean! And we worked hard for this staff!

She's a melee fighter who isn't in arm's reach. You're two mages.

Murderlize her.

Now it is time for the purple potion. Throw it at her and if she blocks with her sword no more sword and you can threaten her with the staff.

If you don't want to use the potion, Ellie should use blinding flash then you should do rush to flame touch on her.

This lady really doesn't seem to be familiar with how ambushes work...

Ask what she wants with the staff, but if she moves any closer do the attacking things.
Actually, if she starts monologueing attacking while she does that is likely a good idea anyway.

the safety acid would tots melt dat armor. then say "oh this staff?" are you saying it's really powerful?"

>>420481

She might dodge the thrown potion. Better plan: blinding flash followed by throwing the flesh-safe universal solvent. After that, the main trouble will be if she resorts to fisticuffs. Do your best to flame touch her if that happens. Or pull out the dagger.

Phira:"Why do you want it? Is it really powerful? It's really powerful isn't it!"
Ellie:"Phira..."
Lizardknight:"I dunno and I don't care. My bosses want it and they're payin' me three times my normal rate to get it! You've got until the count of three to give it up! One..."

burn his face wıth a majhygle pimpslap. I'm sure someone smarter is about to come up with a way for you not to get stabbed while doing so, anyway.

Blinding flash, purple potion, flame touch should do the trick. She`ll probably survive. If she is still in a fighting mood try to use the staff, channel magic through it while pointing at her.

Invite her to your group! She gets free hugs! FREE HUGS! Oh! And give her the shiny! EVERYONE loves shiny things!

She's an Enos. Strength and magic, and you two have nowhere to flee. You need a distraction, and we are an excellent distraction!

Have your way with him. Indulge your basest and most carnal desires.


Then deliver your anus unto Satan.

We're not murderers, to strike soemone down while they're disabled however if you try this again we won't go for non-lethal blows.

tie her up and drag her to town. ellie can give her our other shiny and we can ask her questions the whole trip.

naw bro.

but do punish her. spank her ass woth burnong touch until she can't even follow you at walking pace.

>>420586
Her! And now she's naked and sticky. Offer some cover.

Anyway, only someone really sad or stupid would ask for death. Try talking to her, you two at least need to know who is her boss.

>>420593
I second this idea! But 'cover' her by molding some rock into restraints with shape-stone spell.

...Maybe leave her bum exposed for some flaming-touch spanking for trying to ambush you.

Then take her with you back to deliver the sphere!

I see no reason to kill the lizard. Just be sure to restrain them properly. You have rope, right? I hope you didn't go dungeon delving without rope.

"Uh... Who d-do you-"
Lizardknight: "SHIT! By the Cosmic Mandate of Zarthis, a am your servant! I am eternally grateful for being spared and will follow your every command!"

>Offer some cover.
Wh-what cover? Neither me or Ellie brought any spare clothes!

Spoiler'd for naked Lizardknight

>>420645
Wow, that potion's effective. Hrm. Uh.

Ellire: You are wearing clothes under that robe, correct? For the speech capabilities of Phira, would you mind letting her new slave wear it for a while? Make sure the purple potion's worn off first of course.

uhhh... hmm... aha! use scarf as makeshift loincloth. now spit it out after it "who hired you?"

If you have some other way to carry your stuff (pockets, or perhaps Ellire has some spare space in her bag), you could loan her your bag and scarf. The bag could be used as a rather improvised loincloth and the scarf wrapped around her chest.

Getting proper clothing for her will be a priority, though.

So now we can ask her how anyone thought it was a good idea to send a single fighter with a non-magic sword and full plate after a pair of mages who have at least one special magic staff.

>>420645
Deliver her anus unto Satan.

After the interrogation, of course.

>>420667
Yes

> Wh-what cover? Neither me or Ellie brought any spare clothes!
The invisibility spell works with others? This will require a good deal of confidence. Oh! You two can hold hands with her!

This will be awkward, though.

> SHIT! By the Cosmic Mandate of Zarthis, a am your servant! I am eternally grateful for being spared and will follow your every command!
Huh, honor before reason. How archaic. We can talk about that later. The most important thing now is to know about her boss.

>>420667
Hey, you got it right for once! Now I can agree with you!

>>420645
Have you ever heard of Zarthis before? Is this the kind of oath that you can trust, or could she still be planning on stealing that staff and escaping?

If either of you has an extra layer of clothing, I suppose you might as well relinquish it...though it'd be a shame, that lizard girl is pretty cute.

And I bet after a nice bath her scales would be quite shiny.

>>420691
We could find out by having her hold one of our amulets when the remaining acid is gone. If you do, remember not to actually mention the issue of her trustworthiness, which would offend her if she is honest or make her more cautious if she is not honest.

Fine. I've got some... clothes under them.

Zarthis is the Enos god of mercy. I can't say much else about it; haven't studied eastern religion much.

Phira: "Wh-who do y-"
Ellire: "Who do you work for, mercenary.

Lizardknight:"I... I dunno. Some Rohic in a fox mask snuck up on me in town. Guy slipped me my normal rate, told me to expect double if I got'im some staff. Told me I'd hear from one of "his associates" and get paid once I got it. Looked shady, but I like money. ...Can I have some clothes now?"

okay. let's get back to the master quickly. holding on to this staff will invite loads more trouble.

Hmm. We'll probably run into those associates if we hold onto the staff. The trip back will likely be dangerous- what do you think? Is the extra credit on your exam worth it?

Also please do give her the robes so Phira can talk properly.

How did she know we had the staff? Did the guy actually have a description of Phira and Ellie, or did he provide the location of the ruin?

She knew you were here. What else does she know about you two and this place?

>Hmm. We'll probably run into those associates if we hold onto the staff. The trip back will likely be dangerous- what do you think? Is the extra credit on your exam worth it?

The associates... you're probably right, but the headmaster might be mad if we left a super-powerful ancient artifact out in the open for any bad guy to just pick up and do bad stuff with!

>>421778

Phira: "Wait! Uh, Lizard girl! How did you know we were in those ruins."
Lizardknight: "...I didn't... Boss. I saw you go in... so I thought maybe you'd come out with the staff. Maybe save me a lotta work. Did me a lotta good, huh?"

...Boss?

Well, she does owe you her life. Got any teleportation/moving faster spells you forgot about? Or maybe lizardknight does somehow?

she swore to you, you are the boss now.

>>421842
Ask if the Enos can do any magic.

Oh, and ask what her name is. We can't just keep calling her lizardknight.

"Lizard girl"? You didn't ask her name?

Good time as any to talk a little about yourself with the person who swore eternal fidelity. Break the ice, she can call you by your name. You can even risk saying that you prefer she staying with you if she really wants that, not because of the "Cosmic Mandate of Zarthis". However, for her own safety it's better if she accompany you to the university, since those associates may go after her too.

are those things on her nose scars, or is it an Enos skin mark thing?

Oh! I feel like such an airhead!

Phira:"Hey... Uh, what's your name, anyway? Mine's Phira, and she's Ellie-

Ellire: "Ellire."

Tai:"Name's Tai."

Phira:"Uh, anyway, Tai? You should stay with me because because you want to, not cause' of some dumb cosmic mandate or whatever!"

Tai:"You don't get it. And it's not dumb. It doesn't matter if I want to serve you. Zarthis' Mandate says I have to serve you now. You gave me the ultimate gift, so I'm bound to you as a servant. Whether you like it or not, the sacred law is that the only way out of my duties as a devotee is death."

Oh...

>Magic
Phira: “Uh so anyway, do you know any magic?”
Tai: “...Nope. I was never one for spells. Like to get in close and really put steel to flesh. Never any good at it anyway. I have a light spell. It goes out sometimes.”

Ask if she's any good in hand-to-hand, until we can get a sword to replace the one we melted.

well, guess we don't have much choice. only other way to break it that she would accept is if she saves your life. but for now don't worry about it. anyway, explain that it was simple lack of preparation that undid her, she failed to assume the worst possible scenario could of happened.

well, there's another way out. switch to another religion- or to none.

> It doesn't matter if I want to serve you.
This is really sad. Maybe the Headmaster can help you with this. Anyway, even if Tai and you can't choose to be together or not, you two can still choose how to treat each other. What she needs and what she doesn't like, Tai can be sincere about these things. Hey, maybe this is a not-so-good beginning of a good friendship, or even something more!

>>423550
Well that sucks. I think you should at least make it clear you won't be taking advantage of the situation. Hey, maybe we can teach her how to be better at magic?

>>423563
If she were casual enough about religion to change it for practicality's sake she wouldn't be in this situation.

...

>>423612

fuck being logical.

go to the next bridge.

Can you drink that magic-boosting potion and use the levitation and telekinesis to fly across and carry your buddies across? Or use the rock shaping spell to make a bridge, even temporarily? With or without the potion?

Or maybe it's time we took out those scrolls to see what they have on them.

>>423637
It's an ambush. They will be an easy target if they do that. There must be another way.

If it's an ambush, wouldn't they be targeting us like, RIGHT NOW?

>>423648
You want to try your luck? Go on.

We can make it harder to ambush us by going off to through the woods along the river and doing whatever somewhere that isn't the bridge's normal location.

Is it evening or is that red light in the sky not natural?

>>423633
WARNING! DANGER! Be very careful, it's probably an ambush of some sort - get off the road and be quick about it!

Why this sudden concern over an ambush?

>>424400
Someone has already sent a sellsword after us, and what was a perfectly serviceable bridge not long ago is now mysteriously gone with its ropes appearing to have been cut.

If it's not an ambush, we'll end up looking silly with no other ill effects. If it is an ambush and we ignore it, we're in serious trouble.

>>424406
Alright, you make a good point. A bit of excessive paranoia is better than insufficient caution in this situation.

>>424406
The good old paranoid's wager.

Get off the road. If there is someone in your way, fight for your life, because you can be sure someone else is on the other side behind you.

Just bumping this thread to the top to buy time.

I don't think there are any rules against this, and I don't want to give up on this quest just yet.

We start off the pa-

Ohno.

Masked Rohic: "Why, hello hello hello. How much did they offer you to betray me, peasant? No matter. I get it. No honor and all that. Just give me the staff and pretend you've never seen it, and I won't kill every last one of you."

AAAAAHHHH! All I wanted was to get the stupid ball and take a stupid bath!

hold up the staff, jerks like this are one of the few acceptable targets. "oh? you mean this staff? i wonder what would happen if i used it right now"

This guys sounds like the sort to rant revealingly if given half a chance, and will likely be a long-term problem one way or another. We should see what information we can get out of him before the fight starts. Tell him how it is funny how he talks about honor in the same breath as literally attempting highway robbery.

Would your mold-rocks-like-wet-clay spell also work on actual clay (assuming I am right in thinking that is a clay golem)?

We may have to use the blue potion here. Either on you or your friend, depending on if we want to fight, or turn invisible and run away.

>> it is funny how he talks about honor in the same breath as literally attempting highway robbery.

>Would your mold-rocks-like-wet-clay spell also work on actual clay (assuming I am right in thinking that is a clay golem)?
...I think so.

Phira:"You're really funny, talking about honor and robbing us. You have n-no honor! And if you want this so bad it must be really powerful! I wonder wh-what would happen if I used it on you right now! I'll... I'll do it!"

Masked Rohic: "Ha! Cute. Your turncoat friend over there broke her contract, and that's the only law that really matters. And no you won't. That staff could make me explode for all you know. You're not a killer. I can hear it in your voice."

Tai: "I am, and I would! Just say the word Boss, and I'll tear that arrogant prick and his toy to shreds!"

Masked Rohic: "And what do you think you're going to do, you filthy Enos oathbreaker. Give me a black eye? Just give me the staff and make this easier on yourselves."

Melt the golem and let her loose on him.

If you have the fine control, meld the golem's joints. If she knows it's out of action, she may try something desperate, but if she has a false sense of security you can get the drop on her.

If you feel up to it, point the staff at her and say that actually you know perfectly well that it is a transfiguration staff*, and as such is highly unlikely to be lethal. If you are till uncomfortable with pointing the staff at her, say that you will just cast it at her expensive-looking golem instead.

Depending on how the stone-molding spell works, we might have to touch the golem to use it, so that plan is still viable but should be kept as plan B.

And Phira, for future reference you shouldn't explain an insult for the same reason you shouldn't explain a joke.

*Red glow, remember?

You're not a killer, so use the staff on the golem instead.

Tai needs a weapon. We gave that shiny dagger to Ellie, but does she have an extra now?

"the staff came with a name and that is hint enough about what it does, it will not kill you, but i doubt you would like the result"

>>467192
Oh, that's right, it's a transfiguration magic staff. It must be a harmful magic though in order for this guy to not want us to use it on him.

So do it! Let's find out what it does!

She broke her oath to stop from breaking another more important oath! She had no choice! You're just getting us riled up while your partner sneaks up from behind, aren't you!
