You enter the Land of Abel, passing a small magical field as you make your way in.
Past the gate a woman greets you.

>"Welcome to the Land of Abel, the most successful and well protected land on the planet. It seems you're new to the land, would you like a tour?"

She speaks like someone who either really loves their job or will die if they fail at it.

Woah, slow down there Shot. It may be urgent but we do NOT blurt out our objective so fast. There is likely a reason he is kept here. Agree to the tour. At the very least it will show us to the churches where we can get in touch with Kass' order. They can likely contact him a lot faster.

Yeah, getting down to business would make sense but there is a slight flaw; We are now officially in enemy territory. We have no data of the place, no info, no true knowledge and our forces are either sick or watching the sick.

We can NOT mess this up by going straight for it because chances are this will be our only chance. The tour can at least get us to know the condition of the place, general things to be cautious about and also what we are up against.

Take the tour. This is a once in a life time chance.

You decide to start with The Garden.

"Why exactly is it called the Wall of Tears?"

>"Well from all the tears the demons shed as they were being forced to build it. And here we are, The Garden. Now back during the War the Garden was filled but it seems there's only one demon here today. And this one has been the only one here for a month so that shows just how few demons we actually get here. Now before you think, 'Oh this one slipped by security' I would like to remind you that we also capture demons that try to get into the Lands from outside. More likely then not this one was found in the area. Now this is the part that I think is really cool. See those flowers below it? Well they spring up whenever fresh blood is dropped on the soil. Back in the day the gardens were in full bloom. Oh it was a great area to take the family for a nice picnic. Not many flowers nowadays though. While the Garden was beautiful in it's prime we really do hope that it's not full again."

we cannot show how we feel about this, I don't think they take kindly to those who sympathize with demons. we also can't risk trying to save him right now. we have to save our forces so we can one day return here and burn this abomination of a city to the ground.

please do not argue morality with the tour-guide who is either a fanatic or scared for her life from the thought police. Seriously have a fucking filter between your brain and your mouth and don't say such things.

Do scan it though.

I would like to make sure the magic field we passed does not disrupt our teleporting. Test it out, if you can't, run out of the field and then port back home.
If it is not impeded continue tour and plan. Keep the questions down until she finishes volunteering info. See if you can buy the cure for plague, if you can buy it first and come back to deal with them later.

Also we might be able to cure them without abel with the following methods
1. Use moon-child blood gem (we have one, we might convince our resident moon child to willingly donate some to save styx or we can just steal the OTHER orbs)
2. Release of service, kill, enslave. (test on fluffy first; for her we can skip that step).

Actually we should steal all the moon child orbs anyways ASAP... but that comes after saving our minions...
Also did you remember to order our golem troops to imprison the cancer mage without food?

We best not leave just yet. We don't know if the crystallized gem can cure enough people and making a return trip may make the others too late to cure. It's untested after all and I don't want to tempt fate.

Besides, getting in touch with the church and plague doctor may help us a lot more in the whole 'curing the plague spreader curse' thing.

Ask this. If she asks why you want to know, say you simply dislike seeing others suffer.

>>386232
I assumed the magic field we passed through was likely a Demon detector or would sound an alarm if something evil enough passed through. About your "cures" though...

1) Using the blood gem is an interesting idea, but if it works then let's only ask once and not bring it back up if he refuses. I'd rather not pressure him.
2) I don't think you grasp the situation. Anyone that dies while infected by the plague turns into a Plaguespreader. Sure, we can turn them into Poison Spitters afterward, but it'd be best if we can cure them entirely while a cure is still feasible.

No. 386309 ID: fcf88e

Or we can not ask and continue the 'tour'. I hate to say it, but trying anything too suspicious is not going to help us at all. Besides, I am not sure we can enslave outside of combat. We tried attacking outside of combat and the rules didn't work that way.

Doesn't help that while this is the only demon we see, we still haven't taken a look at the prison, arena or markets. We won't be able to save these people without endangering ourselves, so let's continue being under cover.

To be fair, a lot of it depends on how you phrase such questions and the tone you use.

Saying "Why do you not just kill them?" in a disdainful or cold manner would imply that you are criticizing their "work". On the other hand, if you use a light tone to ask if it would not be easier to just kill them outright, then that would imply curiosity about the situation. Well, that and complete amorality, but that is beside the point. Information on volatile topics can be extracted by phrasing all questions in a manner which indicates either indifference or support of already existing methods.

The side of the tour guide's mouth twitches slightly.

It also has the added effect of making those who pass through it unable to spawn once killed. That body will kept whole for as long as it is within the city walls. Dead but never rotting.

She continues walking around telling you various trivia about the land.

"You know I had heard this place had a man who could cure the Plague."

>"Hmm? Well not quite the full blown version but he can stop it while it's in the developing stages. Would you like to meet him?"

Before any requests, strike up a conversation. See if he's the scholarly sort (study of the plague and possibly other magical ailments), or an Abel fanatic (purge the unclean, etc). If the former, then a mention that we've cured a plaguespreader should be sufficient to get him to come along and provide assistance, possibly without Abel even being aware of our existence.
If he's a fanatic, however, things are a lot trickier.

Teleport him back to the castle. Have Nix and the new Golem dress in nurse garb and greet him with medical supplies ready.

Then go the garden and take the demon there. Hopefully Solaris will be able to resurrect them since they've been kept in the 'freshly dead' status and Abel is the type to keep demons from moving on to their eternal rest.

Except right now the ninja doesn't know much. We quite literally yanked her here and deposited her in a cell. She does not know where she is or if she is even in the demon realm, only that we have demon servants.

IF she is a fanatic, trying to subjugate her may just have her off herself and thus cause more trouble than it's worth. After all, it's one thing for her to poof and return saying the doctor is away for a bit, but another for her and the doctor to be gone and then the doctor only appears.

Also, by the looks of it, they treat EVERYONE with punishment if they fail to do their duty. Telling her she almost killed a representative may as well have her boss throw her into the arena or prison. Don't know about you, but going peacefully beats THAT option.

Yeah, except you forget one key thing: He's a plague doctor. He's likely a VERY important person to Abel if not the fact he's a rare resource. They WILL be looking for him and if they find out we are using the old overlord's castle, they will put two and two together. Do you think we can handle Abel's army right now? Because I don't.

We send the ninja back basically having her go 'It was just a misunderstanding, the Doctor is fine, just doing some work.' or something of that degree and once things are done, he goes back if he wishes.

Also, if the ninja spends too much time here, she may figure out where we are and send the info back to Abel anyways. Remember how Alice and Ruby disobeyed us or down right hinder us? Imagine that only MUCH bigger.

and how does that in any way shape or form justify TELLING HER OUR SECRETS! Currently neither her not the doctor knows where we are geographically, although they might guess from our symbol.

This is a reason to either kill the ninja or keep her imprisoned. Or we just toss her back without any further words. You are not going to convince a fanatic, all you are doing is giving her the names of our allies and ways to hurt us.

Also if we keep both the ninja AND the doctor then abel's only knowledge on who took them is eye witness accounts saying that it was a man with our symbol. Which wouldn't be an immediate issue if we relocate the castle.

Killing her will likely be best if diplomacy does not work, that I agree with. Imprisonment/enslavement will still allow her to contact abel. Ninja tend to be scouts after all and she likely has a means to contact him. Besides, if she is too fanatical to speak to, she is too fanatical to work for us.

Basically, the options in my head is A: Convince her to leave and consider this a misunderstanding on her part and if that does not work, B: Kill her quick and fast. No pain, no torture, just a single 'My apologies then.' and a slit her throat.

No, you seem to misunderstand what I mean by 'kill'. See she is a hero. We are in the demon realm. We kill her, she STAYS dead. Can't contact her boss, can't spy on us, nothing. She will simply be gone.

Giving her a bath or taking her to the bath area will just give her time to gather data. We do not want her to see more of the castle because that gives her the chance to figure out where she is and where Abel can find us.

This is troublesome. Killing her is a bad idea, it's bound to come with repercussions, and we're trying to get away from that whole "Kill people first, ask questions later" Thing. Detaining her, or indeed even keeping her around the castle, is likewise a bad plan, she could kill most of our units in a moments notice if she so wished.

Grab both Emily and the Assassin, and immediately teleport near the lands of Able. From there, we'll try to talk to her, or just let her go (after verifying we've got the actual Emily, and not a swapped assassin).

Let's just try and see just how badly she hates us before we do ANYTHING. We may be able to convince her we're not all that bad.

But I don't think we should let her go. She knows our location, works for Abel, and is pretty hateful towards us.

That said, I don't think we should kill her, either. Ask her if she really thinks she's doing the right thing. Let's make her question herself, her motivations for going against us, her motivations for working for Abel, and her motivations for revealing us to him.

Normally I agree with your plan Silver, but this is way too risky. Remember when we felt someone tap our shoulders? Remember that sneak attack move in her move set? Yeah... she was trying to kill us, no questions asked. We were lucky because we are a golem.

Fanatics should be treated a bit differently than possible allies to be honest. Kass' order came here to save us and when they realized they were wrong, they asked for forgiveness. This little monster is more likely to kill our allies if we are unlucky. Hell, do a 'loyalty check'. Chances are she is either highly loyal to Abel which will not help us or will be negatively loyal to us.

We cannot befriend everyone and she would likely be willing to kill several of our own if given half a chance. Let's give her none and give her a swift, permanent death because if we don't she may give one of our own the same.

We don't actually know she was trying to kill us. She was probably the one who knocked out the plague doctor, so she also has a non-lethal sneak attack. And she said she was taking us in for questioning, not killing us.

When the move says "enemy unit cannot speak", that might mean that as long as she's still talking she hasn't switched with anyone. It's when she goes silent that we have to worry. For this alone we want to keep her talking.

Good eye, but you seem to forget that in this sort of situation she could use that ability for another purpose. What purpose? Well, since it can swap places with anyone, she can simply swap places with Emily. She would be holding emily and would be BEHIND her.

Emily is not a elemental golem, she's a flesh golem so the backstab move could work on her. So she can either have a hostage or a dead Emily if she wishes. I'd rather not risk it.

You 'could' just kill her in this land. That would be the easy way out.

"As you can see here I'm really not an evil person."

She turns away from you without saying a word.

You decide to take off your mask. She glances back at you and her eyes go wide.

"You can still appear to work for Abel - there will be no fear of death or betrayal - and yet work to effect true good with a hero, here. I'm making steps to halt the plague and even cure it. Can you tell me that's not incredible? Besides... I have need of someone... With your skills."

Ok, I think I have an idea, but in the mean time we need to seal the gate and have Rose and all our units on full alert. Back to back so they can't be insta'd. We need to coat the floor in a light layer of dust or liquid or something to track her movements.

Now then, I think just to be polite we should try to subjugate the prisoner. When she refuses have the butler prepare her for enslavement. By stripping her of gear and killing her in front of us, of course. This is assuming we don't need to be in battle to do so.

Enslavement should keep her here I think. System rules that she can't really betray you, I mean, Alice really did not want to be here and if she could have ran when we enslaved her, she would have.

Say your more The Overlord's son than the Overlord, but whatever. You're not going to let her go, she was a problem that just got solved. And her punishment is that she will remain here, forever as a servant. She will grow bored, eventually insane. She may serve you to deal with that boredom and help with her mental health. But she'll never work for her old lord again. Maybe one day you'll give her a simple job in one of your territories, just so she's doing something. But she'll never work as a Ninja under him forever and it will be a blacksmiths assistant or barmaid. Abel is as much as a tyrant as you were. Then leave her with her thoughts.

Do you suspect Fluffy got the Mage out too? I mean Emily did say she locked her up. I figure she just forgot exactly where. And Fluffy slightly acknowledged this situation was not your fault, so if she broke out the Cancer Mage willingly, out of whatever place Emily locked her up, she is more of an idiot than we predicted. She's going to get herself sick again, and even more people.

Well, this at least prevents her from becoming a hero and destroying the universe from dying and respawning in a demon village if she goes and gets more people infected. You should ask Styx what the ramifications of reuniting with her sword would be, and exactly what its plans are with Fluffy and her group. If it is acting like your old self, would the Old Overlord willingly use the plague to his advantage?

Still, ask Nix to look around for Tracey in the castle. She can't get double infected.

>>/questarch/359164, >>/questarch/359176, >>/questarch/359371, and >>/questarch/359510 when we fought the tinker.

We didn't explicitly say that we used the potion on her- but we cannot reasonably expect that she won't put it together, with or without our assistance. The best policy here is to face questions head-on as they come up and ensure that information in spun in our favor. Silva's personality is such that if she thinks something ill she'll confront us about it; if she asks, then yes, we used a corruption potion on her because as we told her shortly after she awoke, she seemed crazy and trying to kill us when we met her.

We had been told that we were very close friends once. Our own experiences with memory loss have taught us that it's not such a bad thing to have a blank slate, to be able to make a fresh start and take people for what they are instead of being weighed down by years of accumulated bitterness. We made a choice- the choice to wash the wounds on her mind away, and hope that in our efforts to avoid whatever mistakes our first incarnation made we will do better by Silva as well. Knowledge and power were traded for what we hope is a chance for happiness. It's not a perfect choice, but it's the best we could do.

There. Spin it that way if we have problems, and we should be fine.

That's true, but our eye isn't visible to anyone else with this body. That and the fact that we're using the same fortress are the only things tying us to the Overlord of the past, and the fortress can be chalked up to convenience. People become so hostile towards us that they won't hear us out because of the Overlord connection, anything we can do to lessen that connection would be great.

I say we change symbols, do a little aesthetic touching up on our castle to differentiate it from the old Overlord's, and stop referring to ourselves as Overlord.

Another name that has a leader-y connotation would be cool, just for thematic purposes. The Governor? The Director? Maybe just King.

This could be a problem. But how to ensure that Shana doesn't hurt Nix? Perhaps... positive reinforcement rarely hurts.

"Ah! Shana, just who I wanted to see. I need some advice. There is a ninja who-" Stop, scan the area for invisible people, and continue "-recently tried to assassinate me and ended up enslaved- I have some concerns that in spite of her status she will somehow manage to harm my other servants, or the castle itself. Are you aware of any strategies rebellious minions have used successfully in the past that we might ward against?"

I like to set up a game of good cop/bad cop with the ninja using Shana as the bad cop and thereby driving the ninja toward us. It could be highly effective for shifting that Loyalty in a more positive direction- we're the one who can protect her from big bad Shana, after all.

"I was wondering if you could tell me a bit more about Psicrest and the Land of Abel? Especially Abel, I have the feeling he may cause me trouble later."

>"Honestly my Lord I can not say I know too much about Abel. No one's really seen him in quite some time to be honest. And even while I was in the Human Realm I never really left Psicrest much. Nothing to say about that place either. They are simply a bunch of psionics who believe their brains can overcome one of the most basic of human emotions, fear."

"Well if you ever do hear anything more about Abel please tell me. Oh also I'm thinking of making a new image for myself so please get rid of any clothing with my old symbol on it."

If handled incompetently, yes- but then, many forms of incompetence can get people killed, if it's their leader doing it. The facts are, the ninja hates us and Shana is both extremely powerful and psychotically devoted. If we don't take charge of Shana and ensure that her interactions with the ninja follow a script we provide, then it's not unlikely that Shana will murder the ninja for disloyalty anyway. Better to set ourselves in control of the situation and give Shana specific orders about how much violence and intimidation is appropriate and gain her cooperation with the lure of our praise if she can properly help us achieve the ultimate objective, that being a properly loyal and fearful ninja minion.

But I want to pimp slap her and call her out for acting like a child, being racist, and trying to bully someone being nice to her. Even if it is understandable in her situation. BUT Pimp slap her anyway, because no one talks to Emily like that when she doesn't deserve it.

This is why zealots are not a good choice for recruiting. They don't do well with anyone not of their group and even diplomacy is hard if it doesn't follow their beliefs.

We should slap her, but we should make it a slap with meaning. One such as:
"I am fine with your defiance against me. That is rational. Same with questioning my intentions and beliefs. I would not expect anything else. I am even fine with you talking with others because I trust them. HOWEVER, I draw a line at insulting my Loyal companions. Now listen very carefully.

I am not Abel. I don't build a wall around my domain using slaves. I don't use people of a different race as my own as fertilizer for my garden. I treat people with respect WHEN they deserve it and punish them appropriately when they deserve that as well.

Of course, if you do not like the way I handle things, perhaps you can tell me how Abel handles insubordination or when soldiers talk back at their superior officers? Go ahead, tell me all you can so I can treat you exactly how Abel would treat you. I'm curious."

Remember; She is a zealot. Any method we use that involves our name or us trying to win her over normally will not work. However, perhaps having her realize what would happen if she pulled this stuff off with Abel may have her change her mood.

No. 389022 ID: fcf88e

Actually, pulling the slap off may be our most potent means of letting her listen to us. Remember what we have tried before; talking doesn't work, imprisonment doesn't help either because I am pretty sure the position swap is non hostile. Removing her equipment just made her invisible and any friendly responses that are non Abel are met with pure venom. We don't need to use force as a end all means to punish people, but sometimes you need a little force to make your message stick. We can't win all our fights diplomatically and we would likely lose loyalty for going soft on someone who deserves a good smack. Besides, if it were Abel, he would likely just chop off her tongue then use fire on the stub so it can't be properly healed.

Afterwards, we can tell her to go to the baths and wash up since she is likely filthy and cold water can reduce the swelling.

Oh boy, this is going to go down hill fast. First off, yes. It is very easy to kill her right now. Considering how 'loyal' she is, her willingness to undermine everything and general bitchiness was not worth her potential use.

However, killing her this way is not worth it. All it does is cause history to repeat itself. If she values her life however, this may work.

"Alright, you won't listen to orders? Then listen to warnings. 1; I try to rule my subjects out of loyalty and respect out of CHOICE. I can just as easily use fear if I feel like. 2: It is very easy, very VERY easy to snap your neck for all you have done and your general attitude when I tried to be nice. Remember that when you decide to be disrespectful to me or others.

ok, that thing were we flew of the handle right there? that was not normal. the eye actually started glowing red. it could have just been doing that because we were angry, and this is just us overacting to an insult to Emily, or this could be the first hints of what caused our previous incarnation to become the monster he did. we should ask the mimic how much gold she would need to produce our blueprints, or at least our operating manual.
>>
No. 389247 ID: fcf88e

Woah there. We are NOT shelling out money to the mimic because we blew our cool. Honestly, the cause is pretty obvious especially if you look at our past. Emily is pretty much our key link to so many things it's not even funny. Simply put, messing with Emily is a sure fire way for anyone to get their ass handed to them via protective Overlord.

Hell, that is probably why Shana was nice to Emily. Even Shana knows how much she means to us and doesn't try stuff on her.

So yeah, we are not wasting money and time on something that can summon forth a blue print of our weakness when the ninja is still a dick because of something the ninja deserved(albeit in a smaller proportion).

She's not one of us yet as far as I know. But she will likely do what we say out of fear. Somehow we must convince her that we are more worthy to serve as Abel. Thats the only way I think that will convince to her to be genuinely loyal. Until then I recommend letting her mope around the base and have our more loyal units try to befriend her. Those she can't convince to do something treacherous.

If we find out more atrocities that Abel has commited show her them. Shove her face in them and eventually that hero worship will erode away.

Ask Styx and Fabio if there's a way to sell people you've enslaved through your enslaved spell. To make it easier to communicate in case either party needs the others expertise in science/tinker/magic or trading, bring Styx with you to Fabios.

Ask them for a way or spell to mindwipe the original enslavement ownership period too, unlike a corruption potion which would wipe out EVERYTHING. So as to not have the Ninja capable to revealing your status or base design.

Smart and manipulative trumps righteous and stupid.
So downvoting the speeches thus far.

Keep it short and to the point; while not appearing weak, psychotic, flip flopping, or otherwise incompetent to both her AND your watching troops.

"You are a captive enemy not one of my troops; not yet and if you don't shed your bigotry maybe not ever.
You know how Abel treats captured demons... Lucky for you I am much more merciful in my punishment of evildoers; I was even merciful enough to save your life"

Since we appear to be collecting unruly enemies we should perhaps build a prison wing that is not a dump (remember, PR) but restricts access to important areas.

I was against the beat-down in the first place but since we already did this is the best way out. Not just for her but everyone else that is looking.

If she doesn't come around, and I think we did blow it, we might convince lilith to seduce her. Lilith complained it was hard but she has no troops and missing out opportunities because its hard is a shame.

Looking back at the suggestions, I don't think ANYONE was for the beat-down in the first place. The most violent suggestion was to slap her.

He actually doesn't seem to be following the suggestions as strictly now, either. Looking back, he seems to be messing up or failing at social obstacles that we, the suggesters, are otherwise giving good advice on. I'm betting that there is another voice in there besides us that he's listening to. Maybe it's the old Overlord. Maybe it's some vestige of his true personality, if he can be said to have one. Whatever that voice is, it doesn't seem to be as apt as us at peaceful solutions, and I think it's getting louder.

If it's some other voice he's listening to: Cut the crap, Calmasis. That voice got you killed last time. Under no circumstances should you listen to it. Yes, slavishly obeying us isn't a good idea. But our advice, when it's actually advice, is nearly always valid. Don't ignore it.

If it's your original personality or a result of us-the eye- being out into a different body and the body getting a personality or whatever: Looks like idiocy is built in. Too bad, so sad. Time to cut our losses and had over to Fluffy and abandon this lifeless shell. It'll be interesting to see how a golem reacts when its motive force abandons it.

I know Overlord's name probably won't be Calmasis because people seem to be favoring rough-sounding names like Razgriz. And Solomon doesn't seem too good, given the disposition of the other guy with a biblical name. And I doubt we should actually abandon Overlord, but let's see if an overt threat does anything. Gentle advice and commands don't seem to work, and there's not really much else we can physically do.

"You are NOT a member of my troops nor shall you ever be."

You move to the girl, ready to crush her when someone grabs you.
As you turn to strike them down you see Emily has your arm.

>"My Lord.. It's okay."

You look at her and at once your head clears. You realize the foolishness of your actions and manage to collect yourself.

"Nor shall you ever be.. Not with that attitude. As it stands now you shall simply be my captive. However, unlike Abel, I am far more merciful to those I capture."

You order Shana to take the girl and lock her away somewhere that isn't terrible and order her to not harm her in any way as she is vital to getting information. She looks a bit uncertain until you mention that it would mean a lot to you. That puts her in a better mood and she happily complies. Just in case you have Lilith and Butler follow as well. You ask Lilith to see if she can persuade the girl to be more compliant.
She says she'll do what she can.

Anyways, we are not going to Styx about this. Emily may be a better person to talk to right now. "I am sorry Emily.. she had done nothing but try and harm us and turned down our offers. For her to insult you like that.. it made me very mad. Thank you helping me calm down."

our eye is glowing red, and we are acting uncharacteristically violent. we know our previous incarnation started out with noble intent but went off the deep end and became a tyrant, this suggests that what we are dealing with right now is some sort of design flaw in how our mind works. probably the same flaw that caused our previous incarnation to go crazy. we need to find styx right now and see if she can figure out whats going on.
>>
No. 389686 ID: fcf88e

Except the 'design flaw' is pretty much right there. Hell, said 'flaw' just helped us calm down. That 'flaw' you guys seem to be keen in fixing? Emily herself.

Look back at previous threads and watch a very simple trend. Emily's body, Emilia was our creator/mother. That in itself is a strong bond. Consider when Overlord gets badly hurt, Emily goes berserk(one of her abilities in the Wiki). The first thing we woke up to was Emily and our first use of the overlord beam was when Emily was crushed. See a trend?

Styx said she wasn't close to us when we started to go truly bad, but Emily was there since day one. Why? Because that was the day she was created. Badass Overlord tried to bring Emilia back, didn't work, and only created the Flesh Golem Emily whom has no memories of her past life. Due to that, he went berserk and became the Tyrant we know and love. When we saw that snippet of his past, Emily was the only one he was truly nice to as well. Even doing silly things to make her happy.

But if you want recent; we were close to the sword, but we never acted berserk even though we saw those other things there that pissed us off. We were even calm when the ninja tried to catch/kill us. He only REALLY got berserk when the stupid ninja insulted Emily in our face and made her sad.

Those two are entwined something fierce. Emily is important to keep Overlord calm and Overlord is important to keep Emily calm. We want to make sure Overlord doesn't relapse? Make Emily stronger. How do we do that? By training. Go to the Cave of Memories.
>>
No. 389687 ID: f70e5e

its also possible that the trigger is getting angry enough, and we just have a stronger reaction to seeing Emily hurt than we do other people getting hurt. this is almost certainly tied to our nature as a chaos golem, and if we don't figure out exactly what causes it we could relapse into a monster. whatever long term solution we come up with we need as much info about this as possible, and that means getting to styx before it wears off so she can get a look under the hood while we are still in our altered state.

She's a liability then. It might be easier to just lock her away and...

No no no. That's not right. It would be needlessly cruel. Making her stronger would work. You will not however share this secret with anyone else. You have identified the problem so there is no need for a second opinion.

That's true. It might be better to hunt up a material that would make the bow purely stronger in terms of damage first, then combine that upgraded bow with things to provide the desired effects so that more damage is retained.

You decide to teleport to the Cave of Memories.

Once you get there you can immediately tell this is unlike the
Land of Trials. There is no fanfare, no one to greet you. There are only 4 cave mouths, each with a symbol etched above them. You see your own symbol on the second entrance.

As you step forward you hear a voice in your head.

>"Death is a threat here. Pick a cave and a rank. The ranks are between 1-10. Ranks 1-5 will reward you with 100-500 gold. 6-9 give you items along with gold equal to the rank x 100. 10 will allow you to recruit the ones you fight against. Some rooms may not even have a fight. It may have a Trial where death is no longer a concern. If you wish to do those all you need to do is ask."

You get a strong sense that maybe you are not strong enough to fight here.

But you really do need to accept that I do not belong to you and that sometimes, circumstances demand that I occasionally interact with other females. I would appreciate it if you did not get angry every time another woman dares to so much as touch or smile at me. I truly do appreciate that you're extraordinarily devoted to me, but you can't do everything for me. Thank you for your concern, but please control yourself."

Please explain to the woman that you no lips or mating implamate to mate with. You're sorry to disappoint her desires for sex so much, but the best you could do is fingers, and that's just so disappointing and crude. Surely you know what her intents are, you're no dumb anime fool that can't tell what a woman's body gestures and tone of voice implicate.
State this matter o' factly, with no tact whatsoever and as a professional. We should get this out of the way as soon as possible. Know that you are now both the leader of this tribe and the husband of both Lenion and this chick and you are seen to have responsibilities as such, even if she is your minion. You are a terrible husband and your sex life is just as terrible~ then again, maybe you should consider it an option in the future. It isn't an effeminate gesture like hugging or kissing at all, and is quite manly, stoic and professional if you do it right, however a chaos golem can manage.

I just want to say I'm being serious here. Sexing some of your units could have positive benefits and isn't all that shameful. Diplomats are supposed to have it as a good skill in their repertoire, as it comes to good use in manipulating people. Just consider it. You're a stoic man, we should be upfront and serious about it. No desire make laughs intended here. It's a good tool. Defiantly would help keep Shana in line if you could find a way.

We don't have to make it a source of humor. We don't have to make it embarrassing. We can make it right, make it professional. Be a pimp, son. Get big pimpin'

After what I just blatantly pointed out to you, you ask that stupid question? Damn woman obviously wants to get laid. Tell her that Shana's her mate, you just gave her orders or advice on how to take her opponent down. She did all the work.
So tell the woman to go flirt with Shana, you are above to even consider such things apparently, despite that diplomats that solve problems through sex are the most manly diplomats.
Don't put it off Overlord, this leader and Lenion are going to expect some form of "entertainment" soon or they'll not respect you and try and disobey. This isn't a damn silly romance novel situation here, we're talking seriously powerful women who's culture revolves around this process of defeat and submission. This is politics!

PS, put the watch in a box and ask her how to get its way to send it to Abel through contacts or however Abel gets shit. If she has a way, then she can take it but warn her not to open or look at the box. Its Goldeon's Watch. Seriously, just label it Goldeons watch, everyone should stay clear of opening it. Then also put a label that anyone handling the box shouldn't worry because it's involved with destiny, if the people handling the box never interact with the watch, it was never destined to fall into their hands, never tick, and should be safe to travel.

Abel should accept it regardless of label. He'll keep it somewhere or actually be brave enough to handle the watch itself. Whatever, it'll actually be out of our hands and destiny will dictates its course. Don't let that destiny be in your fucking Castle. It's already out, in your possession and not ticking anymore, outside of the Castle. If you get rid of it now, it's destined to be the fuck out of our Castle and group. If you, for some reason, decide to keep it, then destiny just dictating you're keeping the watch for however long until we have where it might just keep ticking again. Just get rid of it, you can now, for the love of god get rid of the damn thing Fabio won't let you near his shop with it.

She sees you as a mate, even though Shana defeated her. Thus Shana needs to be provided as a surrogate for that responsibility and the one whom she needs permission from to ask you. Establish her as the "alpha female", if you will. She is unlikely to submit to that and less likely to give permission, but this situation will keep the two of them from advancing on you and most importantly subvert Shanas jealousy.

In all honesty we should have some of our weaker units level with this encounter. We rely too much on specialty units and it's been biting us here and there.

Rose, Alice and Ruby need some leveling, so the 17(7) should work. Besides, the reason I don't want to go boss first is because of one simple thing; we can see the highest level unit, not how many of them or total encounter level. We could be facing 5 level 7s for all we know. Either way, it would be about the 15s and 17 by a bit to class as a boss.

Bladed weaponry and fire will likely be the way to go. Likewise, these plants seem like status effecting units so units immune to that sort of thing may be wise.

As such, Ruby for fire support, Emily for blades and either Nix/Overlord for back up support.

i'd hit it with another double flare. I think the main body probably has no real defense expect a massive amount of hp and the ability to confuse/daze/poison nearby attackers, so nuking it from out of rang is probably a good idea. those Lilies are probably going to pop out of the ground and do something nasty, but unless they can't change there target after they go underground there is not much we can do about that.

Bloody hell, the bugger is a time mage type. We may want to give Overlord the fire wand and keep Alice away so she cannot become doomed.

We can't make him run out of mana easily so pound away at him from long range. The fact Alice can fly over the gap may give us an advantage.

If we can fatigue it, we may win by simply shooting it at range until it dies.

Hmm. This could be nasty but I think we can handle it as long as we don't really screw up.

For now, let's use standard long-ranged attacks to test for any unexpected defenses- we can have Alice use Rapid Shot next turn if all goes well now.

>>392112
I'm pretty sure flight doesn't work like that.

The only issue would be if it casts doom and then Stop. That would let it advance the ticker. Same with temporal shift. The answer is just nuke it hard and fast.

Alice should use light arrow and dark arrow mostly freely, to get lots of damage out there. The only time the Day Eater can deal normal damage is with a regular attack, and honestly, that is far better for us than it casting Stop or Temporal Shift.

The goal is to stay as far away as possible, evading it for as long as possible (probably going to only be 2-3 turns) until we get doomed. Then Alice should fly over the pit so she can stay out of melee range, and she can then burn all her spare HP into light arrows, while Overlord keeps the Day eater as occupied as possible.

Also, Doh! We forgot the Burst shoes. If we can still equip them, they should go to Alice, so she can stay out of melee range, potentially even if slowed.
>>
No. 392241 ID: a3b384

>>392203
Alice has wings, she can fly. The only damage he can cause is melee, and Doom has a range of 3. We could literally walk away and let her pelt the thing to death. I'd rather not since it's kinda rude, but if the battle keeps too long we should consider it. Especially if Overlord gets near the end of a doom infliction. Putting the burst shoes on ourselves will make being slowed not nearly so bad.
>>
No. 392279 ID: 5f55fe

She can only move 3, even if she's flying, and although Doom only has a range of 3, we don't know the range of his other spells. Not to mention he has Haste, Slow, and Temporal Shift, all of which can be used to close the gap frighteningly quick.

You might want to take the time and notice that Alice's Move phase was not mentioned. With Flight she can still only move three spaces. Moving up and down counts as a space. By moving three spaces up she has used up her entire move phase.
She can even combine moving up and down with other movements. For instance, she could move one up and two to the left. Or two down and one to the right.

Anyway she fires an arrow at the Day Eater dealing 25dmg

Blade and rapid shot for sure, we need to focus on taking it down as fast as possible.

Is there falling damage? Alice should move three higher if there is, just in case this guy tries to teleport to her and cast something. At least he will get a smack when he falls.
>>
No. 392400 ID: fcf88e

Weird.... the guy seems pretty clock/time based. Since we have no plans to use our item phase, let's use it to simply show the golden watch to the Day Eater. For all we know, this could be used to control him since they seem really similar for some odd reason(clock that tells doom and a clock based golem who has doom as a ability? Odd...)

Other than that, use our gun. We want consistent damage if we want to bust this guy.
