...that's a point. If we loosened the nail(s) holding it together right, we could end up with them collapsing on top of each other, and the loincloth coming undone on the protruding nail.

Provided the podium came apart fast enough. Loosening carpentry is slower than fastenings.

You animate the nail to snag the priest's loincloth and then shove it inward, nailing his loincloth to the podium!

The priest doesn't notice before it's too late, amidst his struggling against the other priest his loincloth comes undone, and his naked form is revealed to the prying eyes of all.

"YOUR NEWLY AVAILABLE POWERS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

SKIN BARRIER, WHICH CAUSES SHARP OBJECTS TO PASS THROUGH CLOTHING AND HAIR BUT MIRACULOUSLY MISS THE SKIN, AND

WARMTH, WHICH MAKES THE TARGET FEEL LIKE THEY ARE MUCH WARMER THAN THEY ACTUALLY ARE.

DO KEEP IN MIND THAT THERE ARE STILL PREVIOUS MIRACLES FOR YOU TO CHOOSE FROM. YOU MUST NOW CHOOSE ONE NEW POWER FOR YOUR ARMAMENT OF MIRACLES, THE CHOICE IS YOURS AND YOURS ALONE!"

Will skin barrier cause a complete cut through said objects?

Skin barrier would only be useful if we directly attacked a target. ...or charmed or controlled someone into attacking our target with an edged weapon. That could be useful.

Let's go with that.

Let's go with Split.

Cupid.

Maximum awkward.

I'm throwing my lot in with Skin Barrier.

Split or Unravel seem like things we've been missing. Let's not be enraptured by the new while skipping more basic utilities! Of the two, I'd say Split would be more useful.

"SKIN BARRIER IT IS! THIS IS A VERY USEFUL ONE, IF I DO SAY SO MYSELF! YOUR JOB IS TO HUMILIATE! NOT HARM!"

"Yes..." you say, "About that, um, don't you think it's a little creepy to strip people like this?"

"NONSENSE! STRIPPING THEM OF THEIR CLOTHES BRINGS OUT THEIR SHAME, THE SHAME THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD ALL ALONG!"

"Yeah but... Don't you think it's a little... perverted?"

The god of Humilty leans out of his chair and gives you the stink-eye.

"WHO WOULD FIND NAKED BODIES AROUSING? NOBODY EVER. NOT ONE PERSON IN THE ENTIRE WORLD. CERTAINLY NOT ME. CLOTHES BEING TORN OFF IS DISGUSTING AND NOT SEXY IN ANY WAY."

"YOUR NEW TARGETS ARE AS FOLLOWS:

THE BAKER, WHO MAKES MEDIOCRE PASTRIES AT BEST BUT PRESENTS THEM IN A FANCY AND SNOOTY MANNER, ALLOWING HER TO OVERCHARGE HER CUSTOMERS WHILE OPENLY INSULTING THE COMPETITION...

THE CRYSTAL GOLEM, WHO MASQUERADES AS OTHERS AND CHEATS PEOPLE OUT OF THEIR MONEY...

AND THE DROW, WHO HAS THE GALL TO DECLARE THAT SPIDERS ARE THE SINGLE BEST BUG."

Snooty overcharging and being rude, impersonation and theft, and... spider propaganda?

Okay, of the three of those, the crystal golem is objectively being the worst person. We got our target. Maybe we can humiliate her and screw up a theft at the same time.

Crystal golem!
and don't let on that you totally agree with the drow.

cheating golem, because the other two make an ass of themselves easily enough

Go with the Baker.

>>534502
>don't let on that you totally agree with the drow.
She's a fairy. Even if she's not the tiny kind, I have a hard time believing anything with little bug wings is entirely comfortable with spiders.

Especially as this as a fantasy setting and there are almost certainly giant ones somewhere.

Humiliating the baker is too simple because all it would take is for someone to switch her goods for something that a better baker made, then reveal the actual origin of the baking in a way that is undeniable: Likely a waste of our stripping powers, although I suppose you could use the stripping powers to disable her business while we got a replacement baker with better humility to fill in and permanently wreck her business.
The drow makes a complete ass of herself by insisting spiders are the best bug, whether they are or not is mostly an individual or situational opinion thing so therefore shut up you stupid spider-nerd I don't see spiders making honey or pollinating crops. Having her swarmed by spiders that devoured her clothes would work but I'm not sure if we're up to that yet.

This leaves the crystal golem as the single target appropriate for and worthy of our efforts, we hope. Better study up on crystal golems I guess.

THE CRYSTAL GOLEM HAS THE LEAST HUMILTY OF THEM ALL.

>>534499
Do this and pick the golem.

The drow! Drow are evil by default! And so are spiders!

I vote for the crystal golem, as the other two easily could undo themselves with their own pride, while she goes unpunished, which would never do.
I can't help but wonder if the wisp or avatar are doing the other two quests when we pick one

Waaaiit, will Skin Barrier work on the golem like it would for organic creatures?

I'd quite like to go for the Drow...

Golem, check those vertices out man you could carve glass with those.

Golem. The Baker and the Drow will humiliate themselves because people will eventually find out about the overcharging and because everyone knows that spiders can never be the best bug because they are arachnids, not bugs.

Drow.

Mantises are way better than spiders and I'm not even sure if mantises are the best.

"The Crystal Golem."

"REALLY? ARE YOU SURE?"

"Yes."

"OKAY. I JUST FIGURED YOU'D GO FOR THE OBJECTIVELY WORST PERSON OF THE THREE."

"Wait, wha-"

And with that, you're in the middle of a carnival. Your target is easy enough to identify though appears to be subjected to an illusion that's source is not immediately obvious. Next to her is some little brown fuzzy... breed of kobold? Ratkin? Something tiny and soft and wearing short shorts is acting as her barker.

"STEP RIGHT UP!" The tiny brown thing attempts to bellow with it's tiny-thing voice, "STEP RIGHT UP AND SLAP THE GLASS-JAWED ELF! MAKE HER FLINCH AND WIN-A-PRIIIIIZE! FIVE SILVER RENTS A PADDLE! A GOLD GETS YOU THREE! ALL YA GOTTA DO IS MAKE HER FLINCH AND YA WIN A PRIIIIIZE!"

Some kinda unhealthy-looking thing with a pointy chin has already broken a paddle on the glass-jawed elf it looks like, and some sort of grey fluff-lizard stands next in line.

You make a mental note to invest in a guide to races.

> that next in line

Welp, our work here is done. Humiliation achieved.

Huh. Well at least the wide variety of races here means we won't have to worry abut standing out.

Seems our goal is obvious too. We want to time expose her at such a time that she reacts- flinches. Make her lose the game. We gotta strike right as the paddle is coming in.

...could we sneak up behind that cart and snatch the mouse-thing's wand he's using to cast the illusion? He's small enough you could out muscle him. Or maybe we could charm or control someone else into doing it. ...or just control him into dropping the illusion.

And I'm pretty sure we can loosen that skirt into falling right off.

>alternate strategy
Or... if we could use skin barrier, and somehow swap out the paddle with those knives being juggled? While charming or controlling the contestant into smacking at her clothes rather than her face.

>>538821
The barker is casting the illusion. A secondary objective here is to disrupt his casting.

Now, we have a problem here. How are we supposed to get her clothes off? Loosen would work if there are any buttons, not that I can see any. Cast it right as the fluff-lizard hits her, to avoid suspicion. Oh! Or we could Animate the rug to disrupt her balance! That's a more surefire thing.

Another thing to consider is that she won't be very popular after we dispel the illusion, so we might be able to Charm someone into using that knife juggler's knives on her, and with the aid of Skin Barrier she'll be disrobed.

Have an idea on how to disrupt the illusion. animate one of the paddles and have it brake and have the loose place shot straight at the barker's wand... Or we could cast animate on the wand and see if we can't change the illusion of having it turn the crystal chick into an elf and have it instead make her clothes invisible( and since we'd be changing the illusion then she'll also turn back into her crystal self)

Hrrm... Soo I'm thinking we could ANIMATE the golem's clothing to spin her around sorta when the next contestant hits you.
But alternately I guess maybe mix CHARM and SKIN BARRIER to have the knife thrower toss knives and cut the clothes off/ make the manager/announcer guy scatter?

>>538843
Why make it the secondary objective? If the illusion drops, thier show is revealed for the scam, which could cause a great deal of humiliation.

And of that doesn't work, having her pants fall off a heartbeat after she realizes the jig is up could.

Or maybe..
ANIMATE wand. Command it to FAIL.

ANIMATE that big gray person's slapper into not breaking.

(If that doesn't work, CHARM her into thinking clothes-ripping is the cheatiest way to make her flinch.)

"I'll bet she'd flinch if you stole her top!"

>>538851
We might have to use control if we influence the knife guy. I'd think getting him to attack someone would push credibility too far for charm.

Animate the slapper to fly out of the contestant's hands and hit that little yappy thing. It's wand looks like it's holding up the illusion.

>>538880
This. Let the (familiar-looking) grey flufflizard handle the rest.

You ANIMATE the slapper flying out of the grey-thing's hand as she does some kind of weeaboo fightan spin-swing with it towards the so-called glass jawed elf. Maybe she thought it was intimidating or something. Who knows?

Either way, the paddle beans the koboldy guy in the forehead, causing him to drop his wand and the illusion with an audible "WAH!"

The crystal golem doesn't flinch, but she does give a delayed "Whoa!" as the barker is hit and she turns back to normal. Seems she might be a bit slow on the uptake.

"The fuck!?" is all the grey thing says.

The popcorn smells absolutely delicious and you suddenly realize that you haven't eaten quite a while. How does time pass between these scenes anyways? You decide to make "GET POPCORN" a secondary objective.

...Actually you're pretty sure Humility will be pissed if you use your powers to get popcorn. Maybe if you do some other SECONDARY OBJECTIVE and then make popcorn the TERTIARY OBJECTIVE... Wait, no, you're getting ahead of yourself. Shit, what were you doing again? Oh right, Crystal Golem. Everyone looks kinda confused and they're looking awkwardly at each other. The koboldy thing is out cold and nobody seems to care one bit.

>popcorn
...you couldn't just walk up and take some in the confusion? You do have arms. And if you get that golem naked, everyone will be too busy gawking to pay attention to concessions theft, anyways.

>what do
Charm the weird thing to get mad at the golem for apparent cheating and getting in her face.

While they're occupied, cast Skin Barrier, and then control the guy with the knives into cutting off the golem's clothes.

>>540438
Charm the grey lizard thing into getting pissed off and starting a brawl with the golem for cheating her.

You might have to use Command if it's too out of character for her.

Wait hold on, what's that about popcorn again?

Maybe we could charm the grey fuzzy lizard thing into stripping the golem. A charm suggesting she "See what else she's hiding" or something like that.

The situation allows for bystanders to be somewhat outraged, so we shouldn't have to worry about our cover too much.

charm a guy who broke his hand to get a knife and attack the golem. then skin shield.

>>540438
our posession of a new power does not require its immediate use.

LOOSEN dat golem-girl's skirt.

Maybe we can just cut those clothes off ourselves... Charm the golem. Say something like "Don't move! Explain yourself to these people!"

Then get a knife, sneak up behind the unmoving and golem and cut/loosen those clothes. Skin barrier is probably not even required.

That is unless the golem is magic immune. Damn golems.

Go buy a popcorn with money. Or just steal it.
