See, I told you~

|Now, you're not sure how we can help, so here's an example. Many of your troubles would be mitigated if you had greater self-confidence. Tell me something you want, that you are not confident about your ability to get or to do.|
Well, u-um, I have a friend, and I like her. Um, in-- in a... s-special way. But she doesn't like me that way back, and I just don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Oh, she's over by the window. She... she doesn't look too happy.

"Good morning, Bo."
Morning, Gren. Is, uh, is there anything wrong? You look kind of sad.
"No, well... I just don't know what the hell we're doing anymore, Bo. We've spent a day here and we haven't gotten any closer to finding him. We haven't got a single hint of anything since we met that couple on the road. I'm scared, Bo. We're going completely blind here and it's looking less and less likely that I'm going to get him with each passing day."

fine then. leave town.

Go talk to whatshisface the Lord guy. He will have put out queries for any information on an individual matching our prey's description. So while we may not have directly run across any leads, there is a fair chance of someone having seen him.

Of course, it could take another day or so for an investigation of any reasonable depth to be conducted. Possibly a good thing, considering the state of your shoulder.

She shouldn't worry so much, we'll get this guy.

Remind her that there seem to be a lot of people here and it will take time to sort him out from the rest and even if he has left his armor is unique enough that someone will have noticed him. Our only options right now are to either be patient or to forget about it and return home.

"But... I don't like being here at all and I don't want to talk to the humans anymore. I don't trust them to find anything. It just feels wrong for us to sit here and do nothing, Bo. "
I know. Maybe we could do something, to help find him or just to pass the time.
"...What do you have in mind?"

maaan, what did you guys do all the time back home? Time was passing then too wasn't it?

Maybe you could go poking around town some more or something. Meet more people we can accuse of being rape knight.

Go out on the road again and try the other split?

What do dragons do when not eating, sleeping, or fucking anyway? I mean, you paint as a hobby, but anything else? Does Gren have any hobbies or things she does for fun other than terrorizing nearby villages?

Well, back home I walked a lot, and spent a lot of time outside, s-so that's not much of an option right now. Gren spent her time with her eggs or Beodox when he was around, doing... what they did. Before all that, she took things from the village and people on the road some times and laid around either in her cave or on the cliff near it the rest of the time. That's why she's a bit... um, larger than me.

We could try the other road that we didn't go on.
"No, you're hurt. I don't want to make it worse. And besides, we should be here in case they find something."
Yeah...

Just then, Aleise busts through the door and slams it behind her. We both give her a questioning stare as she leans against it.
"There's some people outside. They really want you to leave."

!
but why? are they armed? if not then we can talk, if they are then the guards will have to protect us if they attack so still we can talk.

Gren: burst through door. Roar menacingly. Spray fire. Hope they're armed.

Bo: Sneak out back. Go home. Hope Gren doesn't make it. Eat her eggs

I wonder why...

>>426093
confront the crowd and be prepared to escape make sure gren doesn't do anything stupid

I don't think we should go out at all. That is likely to incite the crowd. Let the humans handle the talking, and maybe stay by where the talking is happening so they can reach you quickly if they need to ask a question or get you to come out or something.

Ha ha Grennie is faaaat.

Well... you don't really like staying here, and at least some of the people here aren't keen on you being around either... Maybe you and Bo should go look for leads somewhere else for now and check back here later.

"What, are they armed?"
"Some of them, probably! I don't know, I was trying to push my way past them, not peeking into their pockets!"
I don't know if it's a good idea to go out there or not, Gren.

WE'RE GOING OUT

BOAGA YOU CAN COWER HERE IF YOU WANT

boaga go out too, they want you gone too, so it's not like staying behind will make you safer.

>>426598
Gren is prone to doing dumb shit.
Bo, go up to the second floor and ask the people what's wrong.

>>426598
well at this point you need to secure an escape route for sure it would be an awful idea to rush in blindly. also Boaga be assertive before Gren does something stupid you need to stop her. You need to be cautious because you are still healing Boaga and Gren can still get overwhelmed. What is there left for you in this city anyway? Gailegh is definitely not trustworthy and you would be better off getting as far away from his seat of power as possible.

Do not go out there. Again, I say, that will only make the mob angrier.

Also shut the curtains.

>>426598
Just be polite. It is hard to accuse someone of being an evil monster when they are oh so courteous.

Ask them to send their leader in, or nominate someone (or a small group of people) to act as representatives. You want to hear their concerns, but don't want to deal with a mob.

Talk to them with the windows open, so the mob can see that you're not eating them. :|

It's too dangerous for Gren to confront them(mostly because she has no tact), you'll have to do it yourself Bo! Ideally using some way of conversing with them that doesn't require being all that near them. Open the doors and talk through the doorway. If the mob gets pushy, slam the doors in their faces and hole up until help arrives.

"Hello everyone, I understand you have some concerns about our presence in your city. I assure you, we mean you no harm and will only be here until we've finished up some business of ours. A day or two is all it should take, really. Believe me, we're anxious to get back on the road ourselves! Not that we haven't enjoyed our time in your lovely city, your hospitality has been heartwarming. We have little with which to repay you, but we would be happy to help out in any way we can as long as we stay here, so long as it doesn't interfere with our goal."

Make yourself be heard, be LOUD.

You may be a gentle dragon, but you are still a DRAGON.

>>426773
Do this.

Faceless, huh? You can't distinguish them, can you? It's scary, isn't? They're scared too, they don't know you. You could impose yourself, but this would create an opening for those malicious to attack you. There's always one or another among the crowd. Stop trying to be something you're not, be honest. You're hurt, you're scared. Show that.

Make sure to get their attention, but don't do anything rash or threatening. Raise your voice if you have to, but keep calm when you talk. When you have their attention and can speak freely, explain that you mean no harm.

"I understand that some of you may have a distinct dislike for dragons, some with good reason. I only ask that you think what you're doing. How many of you have actually met a dragon, or spoken to one without leaping to arms first? Yes, there are some dragons out there that raid villages and hurt people. But they are a minority! I'm sure there are just as many, if not more, humans that do the same to other humans! Most of us prefer to stay away from you. And I ask, if we truly meant harm, why would we willingly come to such a large town, and request entrance and an audience with your leader? Wouldn't it make more sense to just attack from the start? N-not that I think about that."

>>426785
say this, loud and clear.

>>426770
I told you this was a bad idea.

They're just racist against dragons. Go back inside without saying anything.

>>426785
And if they don't listen, it's because you aren't loud enough. Really let loose that HUGE voice.

>>426785
Pretty much this, be asertive, not angry.

Face the crowd with head held high. Wait for a lull in the shouting and raise a hand to forestall their cries while speaking in a loud and clear voice, "Please, allow me the chance to speak. I appreciate your concern and understand why you want us to leave. However, in this land we answer to the authority of Lord and Law only, as do you all. We will await the decision of the ruler of this city and act accordingly."

...maybe we should ask the girl why the Lord is letting his guests be abused like this? Clearly he should be controlling this dissent. Are his guards part of the mob? If they aren't willing to talk, then it's probably best we either head to the Lord's dwelling, or stay here and defend our position. Burning his subjects won't win us favour, and if we can keep that, there's more chance of finding our target.

>>426770
Politely wait for them to finish. Make it clear you are waiting.
If they start throwing things then bellow "ENOUGH!"

Either way, once they're quiet say "We are here to hunt a dangerous and depraved criminal so that he may be brought to justice.

If you were scared of us you wouldn't be here.
Who put you up to this, and why? Do they seek to protect the subhuman scum we seek, or do they simply enjoy tricking people into antagonizing dragons?"

Those malicious to cause conflict without any reason, there's always one or another among the crowd. The relationship between these people and dragons is severed. Your heart is gentle, but your mind is ignorant. You want to be the martyr? This may take a long time, you may suffer and die for nothing.

>>427148
Fine! Do whatever you want! Look if I care!

>>427155
I really hope that wasn't serious.

Anyways, moving on, we have two options: Aggress and Abscond.

Absconding would probably be more to your preference, but it'd eman losing the trail, and Gren'd hate that. She's been erratic enough already.

I'd suggest growing a spine taking a stand and aggressing. Maybe let out a burst of fire into the air and ask why the hell you should do what they lowly peasants say, especially when they're being dicks about it.

>>427157
Apparently, a stone was thrown, followed by a few cheers. This means that, perhaps, not everyone agrees with this kind of attitude. These people want them to leave, not to arrest and/or kill them.

>>427158
Nobody objected, either. Lack of cheering does not equate to lack of support. We would have to actually look at their faces for that. That's, y'know, basic human nature.





Oh, by the way, it's naive.

>>427159
You used "Aggress" and "Abscond" but didn't catch my reference? I'm disappointed! Outraged, even!

> Nobody objected, either.
Semantics. He's willing to take the risk or not? That's all.

> That's, y'know, basic human nature.
Nope.

use SADDEST FACE.

Is it bad if I'm expecting Boaga to completely fucksnap if this continues unabated?

>>427160
Shit, brain derped. Grammar Nazi-mode activated automatically.

Anyways, by "basic human nature" I meant you need to be able to hear the person's voice and/or see their face to know how they feel and right now we can't do either of those. Should've been clearer.

>>427164
Thanks for the clarification. Yes, I must agree. If anything, he can't do this alone.

>>427168
So... get Gren to join the fireworks display? Or for moral support?

Because honestly, what with Gren's mood swings and obsession, abandoning our only lead would be a terrible idea. Artfulness failed, Abscond seems like it would drive Gren over the edge, so, as bad an idea as Aggress seems, it looks like the least of the possible evils.

>>427169
Human help. Or help of authorities without clubs.

>>427172
Hm. Arbitrate? Let's hope the guardsmen are sympathetic and don't take their view.

>>427101
it is clear we are not welcome here. Leave the city posthaste, though Gren may need some convincing. also don't tell her a bout getting hit with a rock she might do something stupid.

Whatever you do, don't react with violence. You will be blamed, and called a vicious monster by them.

Humans are bad for that. Tell the rock-thrower that it's bad form to show such violence to a guest, and that he is setting a terrible example. What if YOU were to suddenly act out in violence against them like that? No one would survive.

They aren't listening, they're starting to get fiolent, and there's no saying if we did try to leave, we could do so without accidently injuring someone with such an unruly crowd about. I think these people have failed to leave us with anything but to call on the Lord's guards. At least if they deal with it, we will show we aren't aggressive... actually, we're dragons, we could probably roar so loud Gailegh could hear, maybe. I think that we should let the guards deal with this, then leave either immediately, or after a brief talk with the Lord to discuss a way of you getting the information he has... like sending a messenger out to ask towns if they've seen a pair of dragons pass by recently and following their information, heh... but no, seriously, it's either leave and get safe, or leave and hope Gailegh can keep us safe for the few minutes it'd hopefully take to arrange how we'll get the information we need to continue on. Maybe he can even suggest a safer spot to wait, if that's what we want to do.

Go back inside. Clearly they don't care much for dragons of they throw rocks.

>>427101
Bellow "ENOUGH!" and blow fire into the air as a warning.

"We are here to hunt a dangerous and depraved criminal so that he may be brought to justice.

If you were scared of us you wouldn't be here.
Who put you up to this, and why? Do they seek to protect the subhuman scum we hunt, or do they simply enjoy tricking fools into picking fights with dragons?"

If they don't stop throwing rocks and yelling then send your hostess for the guards, and have her inform the lord that it would be best to keep mobs from forming for their own protection. Remember, as of yet you've broken no laws and caused no harm. You've even forgiven injuries inflicted on you, which is kinder than what they would even expect from a human.
If you let them force you to leave they'll feel like they're victorious and champions of justice and dragons are nothing but exaggeration, and that will promote more violence against dragons.

"Please don't, Miss Grentonis. Mister Boaga, talking didn't work. So if you'll just stay here, I'll go get the guards now, okay?"
Wait, hang on, please...

Gren slams her claws into the ground.
"Tiamat-damned humans!"

S-she's not happy. How do I tell her that it might be good for us to leave? Is that even still a good idea?

ask the lord if we can stay at his place.

Well it's not like the whole city was out there. There will be groups like this everywhere. How many were there? Like, 20? 30? How many people are in this city? I don't think it's a good example of what to expect from humans. Be sure Gren realizes this, and that her 'damn humans' attitude is about the same as theirs. That should cool her down.

If you are fit for travel then we leave. If not, we stay until you are. Don't be a wuss though. Seriously ask yourself if you can handle limping along for a day or so with rest periods.

>>427427
It is a TERRIBLE idea to leave. If you let them think they've scared you off they're going to be encouraged to commit more violence against dragons.
They'll see you as cowards and bullies, and if people already hate you you most certainly do not want them to think you're weak and timid.

Leaving isn't an option, it undoes almost everything you have managed to accomplish here. You need the information Gailegh has gathered regarding the man. At least talk to him first.

Plus, still injured.

Don't leave. If worst comes to worst you can just ransack the city and leave on your own terms. For now, let the humans settle the matter amongst themselves.

Okay, we're not leaving... I don't think I could go very far anyway. Aleise goes to get the guards as we cover the window and close the door.

Some time later, after the shouting of the crowd gradually gets louder and louder, we hear the sounds of fighting. A lot more sound than what it should be for just getting a small crowd to leave.

I have no clue what I should be doing! Gren and I are just sitting here!

sloppy makeouts!

Why don't you two play a game to pass the time

Something like

THE OLDEST GAME

>>427701
Yes.

peek through the window to see what is happening

>rival nation is invading

Look out the window to see what is happening, or if no window exists, crack open the door and peek outside.

>>427700
This is not normal. Go check it out.

Try to see what's going on without revealing yourself. If you need to GTFO, it's important to know while you still have time to.

And hey, maybe you'll see a way to help.

Definitely check the window, but make sure no one notices you. Also check how you're doing with your wound, just in case they need to run from a raging mob.

Okay, I look out the window. Some people are running around to the front of the building, while others are just watching...

"Bo..."

Gren is peeking through the door.

"They're fighting out there. A lot of them. A lot more than there were. They're all attacking the guards, and it looks like the guards are falling back."
W-what? What do we do?!
"If we stay here they might turn on us next, but we're basically surrounded."

>>428827
Go to the lord's manor. That's where the guards will fall back to, and we need to talk to him about what to do.

Or you could just light the unruly mob on fire; help out the guards and show them why people try to avoid pissing off dragons.

Wanna bet That Man riled up the masses? He's here, and he's got power.

Escape out the window and run to the lord's manor. Grab one of the rioters if you can, so that our buddy has someone to interrogate.

Chill~

If they come, you'll roast them.

>>428908
kinda this, don't fight until they start really getting serious about hurting you, then fuck em up. Self defense.

>>428827
should have escaped while you could, oh well now we definitely need to get out of here. we need to find an escape route maybe ask the one chick.

If we can fit through the window, or are strong enough to go full Kool-Aid man on the wall the window is part of, we should, with our aim to be to head to the lord's manor. It's not safe here anymore. his retreating guards will make that clear to him. if you can't, maybe there's another way out, like through the roof, or perhaps the girl knows a safer passage out.

"We're going to Gailegh's manor. That's the safest place to be right now."
But what about all the people out there?
"We'll make a path if we have to. Come on, follow me, I know the way."
But--
"Damn it, come on!"

We go as fast as we can, and most of the townsfolk try to get out of our way, except for one man who looks drunk. He swings at Gren with a big knife, and she... she kills him.

We eventually get past the group of angry humans. It looks like they were centered on the building where we were. We're at the manor now, and there's guardsmen everywhere.

"It's the dragons!"

We're quickly brought inside through a series of halls to Gailegh, who's standing at a table with some other people. He turns to us as soon as we come in.

"I am very, very sorry."

Welp, Gren killed somebody. I think we'd better leave. Just gotta get safe passage out and some manner of outpatient treatment for the shoulder. Painkillers perhaps?

>>430627
Tell him you understand that none of this is his his fault and thank him for trying his best to protect you as well as allowing you to use his castle to get away form the mob like this, also offer to leave if it's the only thing that will make the mob let up, you don't want to trouble him.

If there were ever a sign you shouldn't associate with Gren anymore, senseless slaughter of drunks is it. Time's come, Bo.

Accept Gailegh's apology. Try to negotiate a way out of the town. Keep calm and speak clearly. But no matter what, make it clear you are negotiating for your own safety and travel, and Gren is no longer your concern.

This is what she gets.

Well. That, um.

I mean, if she'd just knocked him out of the way or something, that'd be one thing, but...

i dunno, it looks like she barely whapped the dude, her claws are just really fucking sharp. and he came at her with a knife. killing someone that is actually trying to hurt you then.. yeah.

Bah you had a dangerous mob outside your place. Only one drunken guy getting killed is nothing. They would have ended up killing you and burning down half the town if you had not left.

leave, don't trust Gailegh and make sure Gren doesn't do anything stupid.

We understand that it isn't his fault. We should probably leave as early as we can, killing that guy is going to make things worse. Martyrs and all that. But we need to know what Gailegh knows about the Rape knight before we leave. Should also rest at least another day for that shoulder.

I don't know what to say... I'd talk to Gren about what she did, b-but now probably isn't the best time. I-I think I'll just leave the talking to her.

"Accepted. That was not you fault."
"My lady, I-- you misunderstand. I know how these riots started. It's my fault for escalating it, and I have to do what I can to stop it."
"What are you getting at?"
"I'm afraid you're going to have to leave."
"What?"
"Your presense in Rockhearth is upsetting the citizenry, and it's my duty to stop them before any more damage is done."
"I'm not leaving."
"My lady, please--"
"I'm not leaving. I came here to find someone, and that is what I am going to do."
"I'm sorry--"
"And I don't care if I have to burn down this entire city to do it!"

>It's my fault for escalating it
Wait, what? What did he do? How did the riots start?

Be a Man Boaga, or a Dragon I suppose, and Stop Gren! She is going to do something stupid and get you both killed if you don't stop her!

Bo, it is absolutely necessary that you grow a set of balls and stop this.

Right the hell now, smack her upside the head if you have to.

>>430983
Grab her by a horn
"Gren. Stop.
Gailegh. Explain. Now."

We cant get our info if a rioting mob is chasing us down. Have him explain what happened then tell him a location he can send the info once he finds out what we need to know. We cant take on the entire town without getting hurt.

>>430990
This. Gren stop being an obnoxious bitch, king dude, tell us your part.

burn down a city it is! finally, some fun.

Stop Grentonis, find out what Gailegh did to make this mess.

We will probably end up needing to leave, make sure to ask what information, if any, he gathered on our prey. Possibly arrange for an agent of his to meet you at a specific time and place outside of the city to give a more complete report, once he's had time to investigate properly.

"Stay out of this, Bo!"

Just tell her we're not burning down the city. You're not willing to go that far.

>>431314
Don't back down
"You are NOT going to burn down this city, because Gailegh is going to tell us everything he knows about that knight. Including what was used as leverage to make him start the riots."

Turn to Gailegh and glare at him
"Right?"

Stay calm Bo, stand your ground.

Not even Grennie is worth an entire city of people.

Get the info from Gail, through force if necessary, then we'll leave.

Don't talk to her when we leave, just make sure she doesn't do something barbaric.

"No Gren, I wont. You're acting crazy again and it's my job to stop you. You wont even listen to him before threatening to kill everyone! Now, Gailegh, how did the riots start and what happened that made them worse?"

Honestly, she needs to learn to be just a tiny bit more patient before ruining diplomatic actions with her threats of violence. Threats of violence are for AFTER you understand the situation.

>>431314
Stand up to Gren don't just take it, Remind her that we are in this mans seat of power and killing him or attacking the town will surely get you both killed.

>>431314
"Gren, does Boaga look like a bitch? I'll ask again, does motherfucking Bo look like a bitch? Huh? No? Good. We ARE leaving, you know why? Because you wanted to in the first place and we don't even need to go that far, what are you a fucking hypocrite, you want to stay now just because the people have disrespected 'the mighty Lord Gretonis'? You have your choice on who to kill for your vengeance now Gren, it's either this town and me or that knight with the horns. You don't own this fucking town and you don't own me. So it's them and me, or that sick fuck. What'll it be, Gren? What'll be?"

>>431335
this god damn. Gren needs to sit the fuck down and get off her high horse and Bo needs to get himself a higher horse. Shit I'd be ok with this word for word.

>>431335
There is absolutely no way that going full Pulp Fiction could possibly do anything except piss Grennie off. Boaga does not have the upper hand in this relationship (OR A GUN) so he has no way of backing up such confrontational language. Grennie will probably just bitch-slap him if he gets all up in her face.

Boaga's best tool is, and always has been, rational discussion. He needs to calm Grennie down, not boss her around or call her names.

>>431355

One of these days Bo is just going to completely snap if Grennie doesn't stop being a savage bitch.

I can feel it, and it won't be pretty.

>>431355
Hey, I think whether or not Gren thinks Boaga is a bitch is an important question! With those exact words.

Why is she trying to fuck him like one?

Oh yeah and apologize for yanking on her horn, that was really rude.

>>431369

Nah man, Bo shouldn't apologize for that, it was the only reason she actually stopped and paid attention to him, it was heading to an ugly place really fast.

After this though? We'll stay out of it, we'll stay out of it so much Grennie won't even see us.

Let her get her own ass killed in her recklessness and brutality, we'll have no part in it.

Bo, put on your most rigidly serious face, and lock your volume and tone to "contained." No yelling. No escalation. Lock eyes with Gren.

"...No, I am not going to stay out of this. Not when you're threatening to burn down a city. Not when you're menacing the only human who has been nothing but kind and gracious to us, and freely gave us his help. And certainly not when you're about to utterly destroy your only chance of finding that man, and don't you dare say otherwise. You need Lord Gailegh, alive and a lord, not dead or deposed. Which is why we have to leave, now. We'll go to that cave over the city. Gailegh can send someone to tell us what he finds out. But we can not stay any longer."

>>431431
Do this.

>>431431
I can get behind this. We can stay in the cave until Bo is able to travel.

>>431431

Oh, and if she still doesn't listen, ask her if she forgot your little chat just a while ago. Remind her that if your input doesn't count, then you might as well go home.

>>431431
>>430990

Getting all the information from Gailegh that we can get on why Rockhearth's citizenry have escalated into riots, his hand in that, and anything he might have learnt on the knight we seek. We need to hear this, but Gren as she is right now cannot be trusted to be rational. You will guard Gailegh from her as he informs you, and then you will leave. And if Grennie attacks you for protecting him, then it'll just be even more reason for you to head home and forget that bad-tempered, possibly hormonal, but still poorly behaved dragoness who seems to think you her pet, not her friend.

I'm starting to think her mood swings really are signs that she's gravid/pregnant from the knight somehow)

Not when you're threatening to burn down a city. Not when you're menacing the only human who has been nothing but nice and kind to us, and did what he could to help.

"Tiamat-damn it, I can't just sit around and wait, Bo!"
Gren. You'd just make things worse by staying. The humans don't want us here. They won't help us if we don't leave.
"...Damn it. Fine. I would have found him already if it weren't for you, but fine."
But before we go. Gailegh, what did you mean by 'escalated it?'
"I sent the guards to break them up after Miss Bentrant came to warn me. That's what started it."
That's it?
"Well, they were already disgruntled about the increased taxes this year-- The King is preparing for war, you know-- and our slavery deals were never really widely accepted by the populace. Have you seen Miss Bentrant lately?"
Not since she left to get the guards, no.
"Can we just-- go?"

>>431610
We should. Ask for painkillers.

>>431613
fuck yeah, bo grew balls

*sniff* our little boy is growing up into a Dominant Male!

But yeah, ask Gail if he has anything that would take the edge off the pain right now, if you want, make sure he understands that fucking us over right now would end very badly.

Then leave, don't pay any attention to Grennie as you leave, other than making sure she doesn't do something fucking retarded.

"Tell your people we said we would follow the slavery laws, then abolish slavery. Let them think we were here to make them our slaves, and your wit saved them.

>>431610
still don't trust this guy, but anyway. leave try finding somewhere outside the city to rest and gather your thoughts so you can decide what to do next.

Wait a second... Ask Gailegh to honestly say how long he's going to be tied up putting down this revolt. You ask because while there's rioting in the streets, his agents can't make inquiries on your behalf, and those citizens who might have pertinent information may leave the city or die in the fighting. If he says two days or less, then leave for the hills. He says it's going to be longer, and you're staying. What's more, you're going to help him stop this revolt. How, you don't know quite yet, but you'll figure something out, and it won't involve burning down any of the city.

You should just burn the whole place down and call the trip over.

I... I didn't enjoy doing that.

How long will it take for your people to calm down?
"Once we make an announcement that we had you both removed from the city, there shouldn't be many problems. There may be a troublemaker or two here and there, but nothing that should cause any other problems."
Okay. We'll be in a cave above the city, I guess. It's visible from the gate. You, uh, you wouldn't happen to have anything for curing pain, would you?
"There might be something."

After a few minutes of waiting, a man in robes comes by with some sort of odd plant and tells me to eat it. It's bitter, but my shoulder starts to feel better.

We're escorted out the gate by a bunch of guards. Some people are cheering, but a lot of them are quietly talking with each other. As soon as we're outside of the gate, our guards leave and we get off the road and get out of sight. We circle around the mountain and climb our way up to the cave. It takes two hours.

And now we're both just sitting in the cave. My shoulder is aching and I feel kind of... weird.

Awww yeah high as a kite. Got to ride that feeling. Go cuddle with Gren. Make her feel safe and let her know this is the best plan.

It's not about what you enjoy Bo, it's about what is -right-, would you have really stood there while Grennie slaughtered the King and then TRIED to burn down an entire city? Most likely getting you BOTH killed in the act?

Rest a bit, let Grennie stew on her own while you try to figure out the side effects of that herb.

Silence is good for now. She's obviously not in the mood for talking and you are feeling strange.

Might want to refrain from getting too touchy-feely though, you did just make her mad and have a short argument. Cuddling is not really going to be accepted until her anger goes away.

>>432043
Haha the painkillers made you high, find somewhere to lie down and sleep them off.

>>432042
No, you wouldn't enjoy getting into a shouting match with friends.
However, things turned out pretty well. Gren backed down, nobody died, and you can still get help from Gailegh.

Go lie down next to Gren and put your arm across her.

Draw all over the damn walls

>>432223
I like this idea.

If you have anything to draw with, draw a nice picture for Gren. :>

If you don't, thank Gren for listening to you. It obviously made her unhappy to have to do what you said, but she did it anyways, and that's progress that you should recognize with genuine thanks. Also toss in an apology for having to get rough with her - She needed it, but apologizing lets her know that you feel bad for having to argue with her, which will hopefully soften her up a bit.

Something along the lines of "Hey Grennie, this medicine is making me feel really weird, so I'm not sure how much longer I'll be able to say things that make sense. Anyways, before I get too loopy, I wanted to thank you for being willing to listen to my suggestions and get out of that town without too much trouble. I know it sucked, and felt bad to have to leave, so I really appreciate you trusting me and my judgment. I'm sorry I had to get a little pushy, but you seemed really angry, and I couldn't think of a better way to talk to you at the time. Can you forgive me?" At this point, bring out the puppy-dog eyes. If she says yes, initiate cuddle. If she say no, don't argue, just sigh and curly up in a corner looking sad and cute. :V

Also of course you can forgive her. I mean, you love her. For some reason.

Everyone goes "dawww" and dragon noogies are given out

>>432594
Forgive her and tactfully ask whether she's been getting strange cravings along with her mood swings and glance not-too-covertly at her belly.

That should get her to think about whether she could be gravid/pregnant.

>>432603
Wait, shit, that could be taken as a fat comment. Avoid saying she's been eating a lot, especially since she doesn't seem to be, and don't reference how much she may or may not have been eating, just what she's been eating.

>>432598
This.

>>432606
Why would she be pregnant? She hasn't had sex with any dragon since that punk ran off ages ago, and there is no way she got pregnant from the knight as dragons *lay eggs* here. Besides, it would be a terrible topic to bring up.

Now, PMS maybe I could understand. That is not something we should bring up either though.

>>432641
it's neither, she's a rape victim and trauma from rape kills the logical part of the brain

Because magic. Knight could teleport and make fireproof shields, who says he can't manipulate DNA to make a dragon ova accept human sperm?

>>432645
We already saw a dragon-person on the road, Dirine? It doesn't sound like it needs magic to happen!

>>432647
I could be wrong but I think she said she wasn't half dragon, just a different species.

I can't find it in the archives, though, so I can't be sure if she was half-dragon or just lizardfolk or something.

She was a Draconian. They are not half-dragons.

This heartwarming moment is drug-induced hallucination isn't it?

>>432702

No drug, magical or otherwise, is powerful enough to make Grennie this level of not-a-bitch.

Unless I'm wrong, but then I really would love to find out where I could get some.

Bo should hug Gren as a sign of forgiveness.

And then this >>432598 if the moment's right.

Man, glad to see she hasn't lost it entirely, she can still be nice. She's gone through some horrible things, it is understandable that she's angry. That she recognizes that anger towards Bo is misplaced is a good sign as far as recovery goes.

So yeah, forgiveness is good and stuff.

Oh, and if for some reason you DO kiss her, which I should mention is a terrible idea at the moment, blame the herbs for messing with your head. Or she'll kill you. No man, I'm serious, she will straight up murder your shit if she thinks that you're being nice to get in her pants.

>>432775

I think a hug, then give her a supportive nuzzle if she is willing to be huggled, and then let the emotion of the moment clarify if she wants you to kiss her.

>>432644
I'd say that you can stil have failing logic and not act bitchy, but I think any more talk on Gren's possible eggnancy is probably best done in /questdis/ or something, since suggesting she might be has been ruled a dumb idea.

Guys, don't be so conniving. Just enjoy the sweet moment, give her a hug, and go to sleep. Now isn't the time for kisses or pregnancy implications or whatever.

Gren was and is unwell, and her recovery is slow. Her sickness eats at her mind and causes fits of madness, not sniffles and fever."

Calling bullshit.

Either she isn't telling the whole story, or Acolon was looking for an excuse to begin with.

Grennie WAS poisoned, and she IS sick, she hasn't fully recovered yet, and we already cleared it up with Acolon, so either she isn't telling the fully story, or he is a fucking asshole of a scale unseen.

>>434328
hell no, covering up a lie with a more complicated lie is dumb.

just calmly explain that you told acolin that you must of missheard. and that it didn't matter too much. why should it? sick, poison, same difference. acolin is just a jackass.

>>434331
Point to a single thing there that's untrue. :V

>>434334
Bo told her that it was a contagious sickness, which her mental afflictions could only be considered by the most flexible of standards. Acolon struck me as a very rigid fellow. Ultimately, Bo's actions did lead to Dilupune's current state, though Acolon shoulder's most of the blame for being a crazy asshole.

To be fair to us, we never suggested claiming it to be infectious, and "sick" is a broad enough category to be basically true in the case of poisonings, but that's how things worked out.

>>434330
>>434331
The problem is that we didn't explain SHIT to Acolon. Gren was the one who talked to him, and she didn't know about Bo's interaction with Dilupune so she just said, "Nope, totes poison, no clue where she heard that." No "Oh, she must have misheard/misunderstood" at all.

Explain that you are very sorry, you just panicked and said the first thing that came to mind when Dilupune said she would go visit Grentonis, because you knew she didn't want company after being attacked. You never intended for her to get hurt and you will explain everything to Acolon when you get back from your task, you promise. And do whatever else to make up for your mistake.

>>434323
To be honest I expected him to blame the person that told Dilupune the lie.

Also, he gave Boaga a warning first; did he not warn her? This whole situation seems unfair to her.

Say that it isn't your place to tell Dilupune what happened, that it's a very sensitive issue that Grentonis doesn't need everyone talking about. Say you're sorry that you lied and that you just panicked and said the first thing that came to mind. If there's anything you can do to make it up to her...?

The tip of her tongue and tail is gone... OW?

Bo, assume full newt mode.

I thought of telling this the first time there was a discrepency, but... "She was sick because she was poisoned," "we/I said she contagious because she just didn't want anyone to see her like that(beat by a human and all); we thought that if you knew that she just had hurt pride at the time, you would've gone over and bugged her (a lot), asking about how she lost. We're here trying to find the man that did it, but we haven't got him yet. We had no idea this was *your* cave." We also had Gren breathe fire into a crack in the cave when we thought something was in there, so we should apologize in case we burned anything.

When we tried to get Acolon to help us before, he said to us "If you lie to me again I will kill you", and later when we told him that she was poisoned, he said "Thank you. I'll... talk to Dilupune about this." I thought he was just being strict, but apparently he was serious.

She can also fly, so unless he got a cheap shot in, she could've gotten away easily.

I-- How is it my fault? Acolon is a--
"No, it is your fault! You told Acolon one thing, and told me some other thing. He believed me over you-- nngh-- because he hates me and he did this to me because of that!"
B-but... She was sick! she was poisoned, doesn't that count?
"Bo, what did you do?"
"Poison isn't contagious, you fucking newt. You fucked everything up!"

She starts limping toward me.

"GET OUT OF MY CAVE!"
I-I'm--
"We're not leaving."
"GET OUT!

Gren shoves her to the ground hard when she gets close. She yells in pain and rolls over clutching the side of her chest before laying still, breathing hard. Sbe struggles to get back up but can't seem to get her footing.

"Heh... yeah, you protect your loverboy, wingless..."
"I'll deepen those wounds for you. You're asking for it."
Gren, stop!

I get in front of her and turn to Dilupune.

I-- I'm sorry. Gren was hurt, so I panicked! I just wanted to help her! I never meant to get anyone hurt!
"Bo..."
"Just shut up. Shut up. Please."

She sobs a bit. T-this is kind of awkward...

Is... is there anything I can do to make it up to you?
"...Yeah. Y-- you can get me something to eat."

Get her a nice, juicy, Acolon steak.

Maybe Gren should acquire food since Bo is drugged and injured.

when you leave tell gren that maybe the TRUTH will make her feel better.

Bo, you go and hunt some grub, dammit. Gren can't do this for you--well, she can, but it'd make you a confirmed Newt FOREVER

Go hunting, and take Gren with you. You shouldn't be alone in your state, and leaving those two together is a recipe for trouble. Hunt up enough for all three of you while you're at it.

>>434701
This is a little worrying. While Dil is injured, and being shoved by Gren would hurt, the way she clutched her chest and breathed hard might indicate cracked ribs or some other internal injury. She should be watched to see if her symptoms worsen. There may be a trip down to the city to get a healer in the near future.

>>434702
Another one of those painkiller flowers would be nice right about now. We could probably approach the city to ask for another one?

>>434729
Unlikely. But since it -was- a raw herb... If Bo remembers the smell he could probably find a stalk growing somewhere.

>>434702
you aren't in good enough condition to hunt so send gren to get something and try to find whatserface some of that herb that you are high from. Or just try to do that and have drug-fueled shenanigans instead.

Really, do not try to hunt, you are in no shape to do so. Even if it dings your pride a little, and Dil'll call you a newt for it, ask Gren to hunt for you. At least it'll get Gren away from Dil for a bit. Keep an eye on Dil in case she gets worse from her injuries.

Gren, could you? My shoulder...
"Fine. I'd just let her starve, but fine."
Oh, and if you find any more of that herb...

She leaves. Dil and I lay around for a while. From the noises she's making, I can tell she's in a good amount of pain.

"Hey... Hey, littlehorn, come here."
Dil?
"I need your help with something."
What is it?

I walk over to her.

Dil, hey.
"Closer. I need you to look at something."
Um...

I lean in and she rolls on her back and grabs me!

Hey--!
"I'm horny."
W-wh-- I--
"Do it with me. P-please?"

>>434919
No.

It would only exacerbate you wounds.

>Fuck no, go burn down a town

er, I mean

>Make sure she isn't going to like, die, or something. THEN you can consider 'doing it'

don't do it, think of what gren will do if she catches you in the act (and she WILL!)

>>434919
Become flustered and promptly faint

>>434922
Not care at all? Seriously, she doesn't like ya that way, Bo. She'll probably be glad you've found someone else.

Focus on making sure she's okay!

This is... Odd.

>>434924
oh. well in that case....
bo: acquire blood fetish

Is this standard dragon behavior? Anyways you both are probably to wounded to do anything right now. Also would probably be a horrible idea in general. While fun it would result in major drama and further injuries.

>R. Knight: Enter inexplicably as if summoned.
>Plot: Get Real

Though, if we're getting serious here, I think she's trying to trick you Bo.
She gonna rip your dragock off if you know what I mean, or try and break it.

>>434919
Back off FAST
"No! What's wrong with you?!?"

>littlehorn

>>434946

It's probably just a reference to how young Boaga is.

Honestly I would say he is the Youngest dragon from that mountain, and he's certainly larger than Dil.

Do whatever you feel like.

You're not horny, Dil. You only have one left!

Oh sweet Christmas NO.

BO WRENCH FREE; DON'T STICK YOUR DICK IN CRAZY.

>>434919
Gren: Overhear this and look in to see how Bo responds.

>>434919
Tell her you're saving yourself for Gren.

>>434956
FUCKYEAH. SAY IT OR BE CONFIRMED AS ULTIMANEWT!

Nope. You don't feel that way about her, you DO feel that way about somebody very likely to come back during the act who is finally kinda sorta warming up to you, you're injured, she's severely injured, and given the circumstances the whole thing is just very strange. So nope.

Though don't be surprised if she admits to having had a secret crush on you for, like, ever.

Get away FAST before she makes you the Gren to her Rape Knight.

No, She's hurt.

Sex?
In the physical state that they both are in?
Bo should ask why she's suddenly horny after walking all the way from their home mountain to Rockhearth with cuts and broken horns.
I'm thinking that there may be more to Dil's story than what she told us. Kinky, bloody sex maybe?

She could very well be mentally impaired from the combination of exhaustion, hunger, injuries, blood loss and pain, which is manifesting as horniness. In other words, do not take advantage of her situation. You will not be able to live with yourself afterwards, and she might not live if her condition is worse than it appears.

>>434919
Do what you do best Bo. Stutter out a mixed explanation and apology. Admit your love for Gren. All of that jazz.

Do not give in to her request though.

Ask her why she feels that way. If she just wants to know that you care about her, she doesn't need to offer herself. You care that she's hurt, and you're going to make sure she's OK, but you don't need sex to prove it.

Right now, you're feeling very funky because of some healing herbs you had to take, and she's not doing well because of being assaulted. Neither of you is right in the head. Give her a gentle pet and offer the lick her wounds for her, and maybe snuggle a little, but don't do any sexytimes. :V

Sex it.

Die Liebe ist ein wildes Tier
sie beist und kratzt und tritt nach mir
hält mich mit tausend Armen fest
zerrt mich in ihr Liebesnest
frisst mich auf mit Haut und und Haar
und würgt mich wieder aus nach Tag und Jahr
lässt sich fallen weich wie Schnee
erst wird es heiß dann kalt
am Ende tut es weh...

>>434919
Nope hard as fuck, promptly leave cave.

This is no time for you to be sexing anyone. You're recovering from both a high and an injury, and she's... well, her tomguetip is sliced off. Both of you need to heal before you can even think about that. Even if she is in the mood, I don't think it wise to get her blood pumping when there's enough cuts for it to leak out from. If she's interested in you, she'll understand your concern for her health. If not, would you really want the responsibility that would come from bearing young with her? However, it seems like if Dil really wants you, you need Gren to make her choice. If she still wants to wait for Beodox, then she can't deny you the chance of happiness with Dilupune, if you even want her. Whatever happens, though, it's clear that one will be your mate, and the other yhopefully can be kept as a friend.

Because mangling and injuries are SO HOT.

Yeah, don't stick your dick in the crazy. This bipolar about-face from hating on you for the lie is sketchy as fuck too.

Damnit Dilupune...

Welp, don't feel too horrible about it, it's Acolon's fault for being such an asshole. What you could do about him though, err... I dunno, cause he'd mess anyone of you all sorts of bad.

She literally wants to fuck the pain away. Stammer out that neither of them is in the situation nor the condition to err... Do that, and also that Grennie would be coming soon. Since she'll probably be the one most likely to know of the local flora and fauna, ask her if she knows of any herbs nearby outside the mouth of the cave that can help her and utilize them. Whether or not that works out, you gotta clean those wounds, so lick all of them clean. They still look fresh, so she must have flown all the way here and should be very tired and fatigued. She might fall asleep while you do that, but you have to cauterize those wounds (lightly and carefully) before the blood loss gets worse; ask her if you can do that, be polite. As for her tongue and splintered horn, that's going to need a healer or the work of a good alchemist, but will have to have some good human fetch for them later. The horn could also be sanded with a large smooth stone, perhaps. Now you can just snuggle with her, maybe talk. You're good at that, Bo.

By the way, Bo, you ever consider she really likes you? Has a crush on you? She has a cute petname for you, "Littlehorn", whenever she's mad at you it's either cause you did something stupid or she's hurt (Reasonable and like Grennie), when she's around you she's rather taunty and maybe even flirty, and she's practically asking you to do her right now. You're also the one male dragon around that's interested in girls and not violent, and is actually really nice. Whatever made you think she's always mean? Sounds to me she reaallly wants you Bo~. Besides, it must be really lonely around her place here. It's one reason why she comes to visit you three up there. Be there for her, but remember, when Beodox doesn't work out for Grennie (if he actually has no remorse about it after finding him and you haven't found and taken care rapeknight), you will have to choose between the two.

Chalk up another one for the travelling party too, after she's healed up.

I-- no! I'm-- G-Gren! I-I want to be with Gren! N-not you!

She laughs, then winces.

"Way to break a girl's heart. I knew you'd fall for it, littlehorn. I can't believe you even took me seriously!"
W-wha--
"Tiamat damn it, you can be dumb."
I-- I should have known you weren't, uh... horny... Y-you've only got one left.
"Hahahahahahaha-- agh! Stop making me laugh, it hurts!"
C-can you l-let go of me--
"I didn't think you'd say 'no', though. You've changed since you left. What happened to you?"
Well--
"Oh, and are you finally going steady with Gren? I mean, you just mentioned her, but she almost tore my head off for just saying it."

"Oh, don't worry. If you get annoying enough, I won't stop her from actually tearing your head off. But to answer your question, Gren and I are just friends at the moment."
Then taste her blood, and smile as you lick your lips hungrily in front of her face.

I can't help but feel you have a history with Dil here.
She's done this before, hasn't she? Or you've dated or had a relationship before? Apparently your close enough to have shared your thoughts once before.

>>435794
Admit you aren't quite dating yet. Also I thought she might've been reacting to the 'wingless' comment.

>>435794
Answer truthfully and explain your situation

>>435794
Detagle yourself from her and help her clean those wounds.

"She needs closure over Beo before she can move on. There's more going on than just that, but that's not my place to say."
