You sigh, and you leave the Captain to finish his business with the tent. You turn to join Iantha by the fire, only to find her distracted from her task. Instead, she's staring out at the treeline.

Yriel: "… Did you see something?"
Iantha: "I think the trees are moving."
Yriel: "What?"
Iantha: "Look."

You squint, focusing on one of the trees along the treeline and oh, wow, yeah, there it is. The wind definitely isn't strong enough to be doing that.

You watch as a handful of smaller trees along the treeline rip their roots out of the ground, and begin to walk, encroaching on your camp.

You've never known a tree to be terribly threatening, but these ones don't look like they have your health and wellbeing in mind. They aren't moving quickly, though, and you think you have a few seconds before they reach you.

How will you prepare for what looks like an oncoming fight?

Yriel's Statblock: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vPWI3WsAE-pVKI5pVvlqgjYKeuqO05enz9ytAb42nSk/edit?usp=sharing

Unless Iantha has some monk moves that can bust through solid wood this is going to be a fight you aren't equipped for.
As such you'll have to keep on the move. The biggest danger is a tree falling on you, but that should take a second so you'll be able to dodge as long as you pay attention.
All you can do to prepare is gather anything you can use to chop their roots.

>>1125957
lol excellent. Yeah if we can't tell them beforehand we're launching food in, and they have no way to check it's safe, then the catapult plan won't work... oh well. Probably gonna have to sneak in.

>>1125959
Cast Bless on the party. I dunno if we're doing multiple rounds at once, but next should be Sanctuary on whoever's getting attacked, then heal when needed.

start off with casting BLESS this mess! Also use our advantage of having legs to avoid the lumbering opponents by weaving in and out. Following up we should patch up our associates.

>>1125907
>>1125911
Ah yes, a sound compromise.

Seize control of the door, and thus the situation. Remember to keep your ankles out of slashing range.

>>1125899
This girl is trapped and afraid. She will not harm you if you do not attack. Step away from the doorway and speak to her, convince her that you are a protector, not a threat.

"Ah, good, you're awake? Do you need help? What happened here?"

This will show concern for her well-being and let her know that you are not with those who harmed her.

>>1125918
Agreed fully.
Slow movements.
Introduce yourself, but keep it brief and simple.

We dont need to worry too much because we are strong and can overpower her, byt getter to deescalate.

This is as good a hiding place as we're likely to find, if it has enough space. We need to make sure we have a place where we can get out of the water, and enough space to rest while drying off. It's likely to be cold and uncomfortable; safety is our first priority, but we need to make sure we're not going to develop hypothermia.

If nothing else, we should be able to stop here and recover our strength.

>>1122628

You broke the oven? Not exactly weak, are you?
Seems like you can't lie to them anymore. You'll have to admit what you've done, and what has been done to you.

...one of the knives is missing. Quickly check the net to see what's stuck in it. Pull the whole thing in if you have to. I suspect a dead body is in it.

How's the arm? looks like you got something in it

Probably want to clear whatever that is out of the smoke stack before smoke gets everywhere. That would draw attention for sure

>>1124987
Oh that's where the missing knife went.

what is the punishment of killing another prisoner? roderick knows we were going to talk to prescicca next, but roderick is also a liar. take a second to collect yourself. then go back and work on your reputation. you have to make sure your word is more preferable to roderick's

Honestly it just looks like Kaol starting thrashing around randomly and Priscilla panicked and grabbed the knife then hit them with it and ran. The only way for Kaol to have killed Priscilla and disposed of her body would involve them also using the knife on themselves and I feel like that's not something they'd do even in a fugue state.

You spare no delay rushing to the market place. Time is ticking and you have flowers to secure! Food and other personal needs could wait.

The lovely raccoon would greet you at her stall. Her tone tries to remain pleasant, her tiny paws however, cover her nose.

Pesuka: “Oh! Uh, morning Eugene. I have a fine selection of fresh flowers here today.”

That she does. Looking over you see the following:
A bundle of roses [3 Gold coins]
A bundle of honeysuckles [1 Gold coin]
A bundle of lavender [1 Gold coin]
A bundle of chamomile [5 copper coins]
A bundle of random un-sorted flowers [1 copper coin]

You will require at least two bundles of flowers for the job.

Currently you have:
7 gold coins
7 copper coins (5 copper on-hold as promised to Mrs. Bramblesnaps)
4 bars of plain bathing soaps [Value: 5 copper]
2 bars of honey-scented bathing soap [Value: 1 Gold]
1 fresh tunic [Value: 2 copper]
1 flowered straw hat [Value: 5 copper]

What will you purchase, or offer to trade the fine lass in exchange for flowers? You do have a moment to haggle.

I am stricken with choice paralysis.
Do you need anything specific? We probably shouldn't cheap out entirely on the queen's washing, regardless.
Is there anything else you'll need to buy after this? Something we need to reserve coins for?

If no, um, how about getting roses, lavender, and assorted, in exchange for 3 gold, one bar plain soap, and one bar honey soap? Plus or minus depending on haggling.

Lavender is a traditional scent for soaps and candles, and was on the shopping list anyway. That is a no-brainer. Roses are pretty, but not really known for their scent properties. Rose water is a thing, but its subtlety only works when it's the only flavor around. Honeysuckle and chamomile are good traditional stuff though. Nobody could fault those.

Unless the queen is known to have a specific fondness for roses, I say get the lavender, honeysuckle and chamomile, and see if she would take a bar of soap or two at equivalent value when you go to pay her.

honeysuckle and lavender should suffice
and throw in that unsorted bundle for spice

Tell the big, mean, heartless, souless, vile, unrefined, unloving, unloved, and most of all yee-yee-ass racoon lady that you already talked about this: you are not stinky. You make orhers stinky. If they attack you. You can relax.

Do get the chamomile, the lavender, and the butterflies (that's what a honeysucker is, right?) for your quest.

Don't dead open inside!

As he steps into the room, she turns slowly, neck tilted at a very wrong angle and blood dripping from her scalp... shes smiling.
And that smile keeps getting wider...

I turn back. She spits a final string of profanities at the creature.
Freezes. Eyes dart to me. Wide. Tremble. Smell of panic.

Then snaps back as if nothing happened. Silence.
Yellow remains.

"Are you alright?"
"I I- sorry Yes I sorry am Thank you Fine. Fine. Fine. I am fine. Are you?"
"Head hurts a bit. Smell's back, must've knocked loose the clogs in my nose. You got any clue what it was?"
"No. No. It came from the captured ship the docks would know I, I, no I don't I don't know. From the depths. Black. Nose aches."
"You want me to go after it?"
"N No. It, it's terrible, you don't, I , no. Don't touch it. It's fine you just recovered It's fine. Is there anything else you require?"

Okay then I guess her eyes are light purple. It's the same underlying cause- lack of the usual pigments. Often they lack pigment entirely which results in them being the same color as blood, whatever that is to you... but apparently purple and grey are possible colors as well.

>>1124563
Tell her it was nice meeting her.

You can decide to invite her or not after you've met other prospects.

>>1124563
Go after it anyway, I bet it leads to treasure.

> Is there anything else you require?
yeah, what are her plans for Lutricalia?

>>1124563
The druid is a kind, thoughtful woman. What's her name? I don't believe she mentioned it. We know it's Fionnuir but I don't know how we know that; it would be rude to just use it without asking.

More seriously, she mentioned something about a gilded ship bringing misfortune. We've heard that someone captured a ship full of treasures, and we remember a strange ship arriving the same day our Fog started, but the details are still blurry... does the druid think there might be amy connection here?

With all that's been happening to us recently, it feels safer to be around her. Has she got any plans for Lutricalia? Would she like to go with us?

I was tempted to suggest ginerva and dotti being shocked because her underwear is exceptionally frilly and/or polka dotted.
AND the fact shes not alone in there...
But
>>1124581
Its also shocking because shes also sat fully naked but wearing her mask and nothing else, trying to convince herself that as long as she has her mask, shes not naked.
A gang of pigeons stole her clothes!
A certain avian faegan has himself a gang working for him now.

2, yes - her tail is irresistible to play with.

Loquui is hesitant, but she trusts the dah-een that smells like Yahn. He is ingratiating himself to the other creatures with all the skill she expects of a subservient nonperson. In fact, they seem to accept him as just another servant, even though he clearly doesn't have the wrongness of the other Dah-een or Yakubi.

Loquui cannot hear, but the big Ghostskin, barks something at Yakubi, and Yakubi barks at the Dah-een. They follow. So Loquui follows.

They weave through the streets. Loquui is struck by a sense of nostalgia. These places used to be filled with her sisters, and bitches that needed a good thrashing, but there was always such noise and life. Now they are empty. It makes it harder for Loquui to hide, but she has experience. As a pup, she'd used the strange stone buildings and their funny holes to crawl into places the mistress could not sniff her out.
Though she is bigger now, Loquui finds all the old places with amazing ease, and gracefully climbes back into the narrow spaces betwe-betwee-BETWEEN-it seems the walls shrank since last time Loquui used them, as she it stuck. She'll have to wriggle her way out. Hopefully Yakubi will leave a scent she can follow-

What kind of good, hard-working reploid would we be then?

While theyre all good ideas, a is the most responsible option as chemical formixer dan also assure no humans are exposed to the materials while keeping up with her other duties.
Abandoning a responsibility, even if one not usually assigned to you, is not sonething a good reploid would do and chemical formixer is, more than anything, a good reploid in her core program..

The second option doesn't mention how easy it would be for the wizard to detect or capture you... I'm guessing very easy to detect, but harder to capture?
Honestly being summoned is probably best because then we'll have a support network. Trying to stealth through as a disguised mortal only works until it doesn't. Having a plan B is impossible there, while being summoned gives us options. Also being summoned and having a spirit helper means more flexibility for doing something like being a giant distraction while Ho’kaoko sneaks in... though it does mean we can't go full stealth.

>pay?
Haha I just realized we're effectively patrons of your domain. Our payment is sex-related.
Anyway I wanna see someone make out with your tail. You can do it yourself if you like.

Honestly? A summoner seems like the better bet here since you're going up against a full-on wizard. Besides, it'll help you get more 'contacts' that might look favorably upon you for later fun!

I guess I'd lean towards the mortal disguise. You're not at risk, so playing with a lower power bank isn't that big of a deal.

>Payment

Quick question: This is a dungeon and presumably has delvers in it, could you do the whole demon classic of - find someone in a dire situation and offer them a deal for help - thing? Could be a way to get summoned by someone already in the place we're aiming for and gives you an automatic minion to act on your will.

TLDR: Become a warlock patron

tail...

hey maybe weird question but that guy that used to be in charge that was turbo awful that you ate wouldn't happen to be your tail now would he

Male, 40s, northerner. Whitewall, maybe? Brown hair, pale blue streaks on the sides of his beard. Squints like he's nearsighted, marks on his nose from glasses he's not currently wearing. Scholarly, but, based on his callused hands, and overall muscle tone, also has some reasonably recent experience wrangling heavy machinery. Hasn't gotten much sleep in the past week but was eating well before that.

He's scooting the chair backward and trying to steer toward a pile of stuff on top of a cabinet in the corner. Pile looks like... overcoat, chainmail shirt, backpack, couple of books, gold necklace with a sunburst pendant, knife on a belt.

rolled 6, 9, 4, 9, 2, 7, 5, 1, 10, 3, 8, 8, 8, 5, 6, 9, 1, 10, 10, 2, 7, 2, 4, 6, 9, 5, 9, 7, 9, 6, 8, 1, 1, 7, 8, 1, 4, 4, 2, 10, 9, 1, 10, 4, 3, 5, 2, 2, 2, 9 = 280

Malice circles around behind the prisoner and drops Hidden Predator Camouflage. She steps over to the cabinet and picks up the knife, pulls it out of its sheath, pockets the necklace, leafs through the books a bit. Then she turns around and speaks, trying every language she knows. "Hey! Why do they have you tied up down here? You're not going to hurt me if I set you free, right?"

Can I find the guy's glasses?

Aaaaaaand great, okay, full mask off, no disguises, fantastic. That means anyone who's not down to rebel against the realm is going to automatically look for ways to subvert and resist. Lets see, could try to fake a confrontation, but that'd only go so far, and from what she can tell Xi-hun seems unlikely to play along with... well with much of anything, really. These people are fucked either way, no saving them from the realm now which means instead we need to find a way to disappear when the hammer comes down. A fleet of ships? Probably too hard to hide...

While contemplating just how exactly they're going to hide their base of operations from the watchful eye of sycophants and fools, Akemi brings the ship down. Of course, her dad never had her do exercises on demonic hellships before, but honestly there's a lot of overlap. Two miles outside of town, around a bend in the canyon walls so the ship isn't immediately visible through the tall grass. She has the crew make camp here, offloading goods and setting up tents. Using rod of verdant minerals to prep some trade goods- unsurprisingly, there was plenty of brass and copper

"Good no question." Xi-hun bends down while looking at various people who seemed to have spoken in Old Realm. "Now it seems some of you might be aware of some prediction I may not be aware off right this moment. Would anyone of you be willing to correct this mishap? Also the usual landscape aren't present so if you would kindly point out a few, that would be extra useful."

>look up what is happening on the outer colonies?
The Outer colonies Current situation

The colonies, that had been a point of pride of the Alliance, as the first cooperative project between all members of the Alliance, had been for the most part abandoned in the last decades, as the Alliance focused their resources less in exploration and expansion, and more on reconstruction after the war.

The colonies had been left mostly to fend off by themselves, with only token assistance as essential supplies were delivered, or through different patrols that ensure the safety of the colonies, at least against larger threats. The colonies themselves though, quickly saw themselves regressing to lower industrial and technological levels, many colonists abandoning their homes and moving to the edge worlds as refugees. The most affected of these were the few colonies that had just began growing at the start of the war, the ones who made first contact with the Baktre Hegemony, and as such found themselves in the middle of the war.

While the reconstruction took most of the Alliance resources, the Alliance itself never abandoned the colonies, though this didn’t help the feelings of abandonment and resentment many of the colonies had towards the alliance itself.

>Ask if there's anything interesting over in the Aoemi Sector.
Kadmian: “Ah, well, from what I gathered, before the war, the Aoemi sector, and the system of the same name, was an important hub connecting to several other sectors under colonization at the time. It became a meeting point for the colonists, and a supply warehouse to ensure the colonies would continue growing… It had to be evacuated and abandoned during the war as the Alliance was pushed back, but even then, the old warehouses soon became a sort of safe-house for the few that had to be left behind, both colonist and troops…

Now, those old warehouses were preserved, even once the rebuilding started. They are planning on making it a museum of sorts, about the war, and about the story of the survivors and refugees of that time. I’ll be working on some new warehouses and logistic depots that are being built in the same planet. Personally, I’m glad that’s the case, even if it would be more time and effort on my part… I’d feel weird stacking boxes in what used to be a home for people who lost theirs…”

Carlos: “… I think I’d like to visit that museum sometime. Whenever it opens.”

Kadmian: “Yeah, I imagined. Just let me know when you get some leave, and I’ll see if I can book you for a good tour. I feel the planet is going to be growing quite a bit in the coming years.”

>>1120845
That’s… a good idea… alright, I know Kadmian likes puns, they are quite popular among his culture… Maybe I can do something with that and socks…? Well, anyway I should start setting it up… Hopefully I can make something up as I go… or just keep it simple… he’d appreciate it either way, I think… And he has been a good friend through our d

And just as I was about to continue, the sound of the door to the colonel’s office sliding open silenced everyone...

Col. Santios: “Alright! You got your assignment. Now Move it! We are behind schedule!”

The familiar yelling of our esteemed and clearly stressed colonel suddenly roars through the hallway, as one of my classmates rushes out of the office, I don’t even have time to tell who it was, as they ran through the hallway, presumably to do their final preparations before leaving the system.

Col. Santios: “Alright… how many more are there…?

He quickly takes a glance a each and every one of us. None of us speaks up.

Col. Santios: Good… Give me 5 minutes, I got a priority call. In the meantime, all of you stay here. Including you, Sub-lieutenant Kadmian, since it seems you have nothing better to do, you might as well hear the briefing since it will be concerning you as well.”

And without further explanation, he closes the door and a deafening silence fills the hallway.

Kadmian: “Heh… Well, this looks interesting. Delma doesn’t know what she’s missing.”

>…

Check the perfume to see if it's something you wouldn't mind smelling like. Dab some on yourself if it's ok.

send Delma a text letting her know she has five minutes to get here. Probably won't do anything but it would be kind of funny to think she'll rush her out of breath thinking she was missing something important.

no cold logic, hot logic. Simmering anger and restlessness are the only thing keeping us going right now. Keep that boiler stoked or we will pass out again.

It's best to trust them for now, if they turn on me... well I guess I'll just have to deal with that.

Fuze is waiting for my approval, I give it. "good enough"

I turn to leave but I stop short and turn "Do you know what a boiler is?"

Fuze chuckles "I suppose you aren't talking about heating water..."I give him a silent stare for that one, he sigh and removes his glasses to clean them "Ahem well, there isn't any official classification it seems to lump in a number of symptoms and can occur under a plethora or stress induced situation, but to put it bluntly most doctors classify a 'Boiler' as someone undergoing a type of degenerative battle frenzy, it's considered very rare in actuality and the term is more commonly applied as a sort of slang insult between low class Astranians. does that help?"

>>1122857
Degenerative how?

What are the symptoms?

>>1122857
That... kinda makes sense.
However, i suspect its considered degenerative because of the rarity. Not enough victins to fully understand and no real will to find a way to treat it. Also seems like a catch all phrase.

I have my suspicions but theyre irrelevent to this, so, back on the short terms goals and step by step thinking.
Ace pilot oken needs to be in that control room.
Time to move out.

"With a 'plop' Kleincakes lands in the basin."

He looks at you with an unusual combination of smugness and dissapointment.

"Now, onto the addition phase. You can forfeit now, if you'd like. I think I have a fairly good hold of how you think."

An awkard smile crosses his face.

"I guess that's my not-so-subtle way of saying my next move is a winning one."
"Now, what would you like to introduce?"

I would add a vent in the wall that leads to the boiler room of the neighboring hotel, which has a fine old sauna and bathhouse. This boiler room is minorly famous, mainly among plumbers and workmen, for being ancient, poorly planned, and being an agonizingly hot tangle of steam pipes.

A fine place for a slime to hide, no?
