Repeat this: [Slavers, but we're just passing through right now. What do you want?]

Lets leave these people alone unless they actually want to come with us. Our supplies are already stretched thin enough, and they'll be more inclined to help without the point of a sword.

>>210076
we can't be just passing through, the slaves and everyone is tired. we need to make a camp here so we must parlay. also i meant what are they literally. as they are not quite human.

[we are demi-humans, created from the joining of man and monster. we are looking for a place to rest, may we stay here?]

"We are Almost-Humans. We are children made from Human and Other....uh...we rest our heads needing...for food lack thereof...help please. Who you are?"

"I am Kamagan. I am Mo Sala. She my sister Minujia."

"Your ears. They are Mo Sala. But they are not Mo Sala. You come from Human? You come from Mo Sala?"

"Veni, help...She is throwing off my internal balance, and I'm getting queasy..."

"Quiet Iagn. These are the Mo Sala. I think the only reason they haven't killed us is because of you. So stop blubbering. It's unbecoming of a representative of Rezo."

"May help we have please?"

"Your tongue is tied. Very odd."

it seems Iagn is part Mo Sala. they can recognize thier own.
he said
"I am Kamagan. I am Mo Sala. She my sister Minujia."
then she said
"Your ears. They are Mo Sala. But they are not Mo Sala. You come from Human? You come from Mo Sala?" which is why i propose his heredity
then he said
"Your tongue is tied. Very odd."
try this
"come from other land with different tongue, know this one but hard because not raised among it"

>>210090
Seems like the Mo Sala are some sort of elfs or something. You can probably use this to your advantage.

Iagn isn't Mo Sala. He's...actually I'm not too sure. He says Kobold but he's a tad too tall to believe that.

>"Come from other land with different tongue, know this one but hard because not raised among it. Please be....ugh...help of us?"

"Brother, what this person be?"

"Sister interested in you. You are not human. I trust you. But favor must beget favor...you help us if we help you."

we got

"Sister interested in you. You are not human. I trust you. But favor must beget favor...you help us if we help you."

so a favor trade, if it is just more dumbasses like that Oematsu guy this will be easy. don't see anyway out of it even if we wanted to though so i guess you need to accept.

"This is all interesting, but what the heck are we doing here?"

"I'm about to find out.

"What help you want?"

"First of all, a question. How large a force do possess of you? And what really you are? Know, I do of you and you Almost Humans. But from where you are? Where going to?"

"First of all, a question. How large a force do possess of you? And what really you are? Know, I do of you and you Almost Humans. But from where you are? Where going to?"

i guess give him a rough number or 'many' if you can't get a number. and that you live on a land across the ocean or 'big water' or something. you were here for a test to show that you are worthy of being a leader to your people and are on your way back home.

>>210367
You can probably tell him. And mention that you're not exactly a friend of the local rulers.

Hmm, you know, it might be a good idea to bring along some of them as honored guests. And I do mean as guests, not slaves or anything. For a sort of diplomatic exchange. Could give you valuble allies here if you ever return with a claim on the throne.

"...And what help need you?"

"Rest. Place to hide. Humans here not friends. Enemies. We bring prisoners of them. And-"

"You capture live humans? Hah! I like this odd one."

"Now we are going home while the...chiefs fight each other. But we need rest, and a place to hide from the human soldiers."

"We could give for you the place of rest. But you must aid us while here."

"Helps you how?"

"Human peoples fighting...coming too close to land. We need to move our people somewhere new, and fight humans who come too close, make them think our home is elsewhere."

"I'm a bit busy. Besides she likes you. Can't you deal with it for a while?"

"No I told you she's throwing off my equilibrium. I'm getting sick..."

"Eki. Eki. Eki. They bend so easy."

Anyway...it seems the Mo Sala want me to distract Hayaso patrols or something. I'm not sure about this. While I don't doubt my soldiers skill, I don't know if we can risk spending the time staying here. but at the same time, I can sense the aversion in the Mo Sala, the one right next to me is just waiting for an excuse to kill me...

so our options are decline and possibly die here, or accept and do stuff for a bit?

state that once your group have recovered enough to start moving again you must leave but before then you will do your best to assist them in their endeavor.

best relocate and distract plan would be not to move in the opposite direction but at an odd angle from it so that if they catch on that you are trying to mislead them they will still fail to figure where you have moved to.

>>210562
Getting sick? You'd better inform the girl that if she doesn't stop messing with his ears soon he's gonna puke.

>>210562
Tell them that she should probably stop doing that, since to his people that's a proposal of marriage. They'll make her stop.

If they want to move, then the simplest solution is for them to accompany you as far as the contested lands.

"In any case...I think that by us coming with-"

"I barely understand you but I understood that. We already know where to go. We have many places of hiding. But we need help protecting our weaker and unarmed people. Humans are passing through our lands and there good chance of detection. You are required to distract humans. Attack them in directions away from people of ours."

So we are a distraction.

fair enough. got anything that could make you extra distracting?

>>210623
You can probably make that work out. Just ask them to take the slaves along with them and keep them safe while you deal with patrols. And ask Iagn to stay with the slaves and make sure they don't do anything stupid or try to run away, and make sure the Mo Sala don't just slit their throats.

"Is there any specific plan? Something we can use?"

"There is Odd one. Kamagan shall stay behind to aid you. He already has a plan, all you need is decide who should follow through."


>>210642

"It may be difficult with our prisoners about. Some are still restless and may try to escape while we are fighting. Perhaps if they went with you..."

"You misunderstand. Until arriving of you, Kamagan was meant to be abandoned. We are leaving and do not expect of anyone to follow. Kamagan was meant to fight until he goes to the Heavens. However with you, we are hoping he need not sacrifice himself."

[b]"So you are telling me we are all going to die?!"

"Not at all. With you present we believe Kamagan can give an illusion that an army hides in the forest. When they do, the humans will run. They always do."

>>211186
Hmm, seems like a decent plan. You and your men can sort of strike as ghosts from the illusions and make the human forces hopefully piss themselves in fear and run away quick as hell.

But in case it doesn't work out you should probably look for some alternate way out.

And you could probably keep the slaves in the abandoned settlement under guard. That should hopefully keep them calm.

Oh, ask what Kamagan is to do after you have driven the enemy away. Will he rejoin his people immediatly or is it possible that he could help you on your way to the coast. Having an illusionist around sounds like something that could be useful.

>>211202
I suppose. Considering It's that or face Hayaso on open ground.

"Is there plan to fight?"

"Yes. Humans are marching to west for fighting. They want to cut through our land to gain faster. The plan is to lure them down this road with mountain ranges next to. I make illusion copies of me and your best defender to fight. When they are lured under cliff, someone will drop rockslide. But we must wait until the leader human is on the other side. Then we kill leader, which will make other humans run. They will want to bring army to fight us. And they will bring army to fight us but will find only wind and dust when arrival. Who good for fighting?"

I could barely make that plan out but I think he is asking for my best warrior well...Shadeleaf is more ambush from afar. That would leave me, Iagn, and Kuta if he wakes up. But each of our fighting styles are different though.

"Will the humans magic bringing of?"

"I know not. This is small force. Sometime they bring mage. Sometime it is not important enough to bring one."

is a good enough plan, but plans never survive contact with the enemy. let us have you with the guy and shadeleaf and iagn hiding nearby in case something goes wrong.

>>211216
Ask them if they can wake up Kuta. Have you, Kuta and the guy grab their attention while Iagn and Shadeleaf find a good spot for a possible ambush of a mage if they have one.

With Kuta there you can deal with any magic they have. Disguise him a bit though so that they won't recognise him.

And make a plan for getting out of there alive if everythning goes to shit. Kamagan is welcome to stay and fight to the death but you need to get back home alive and with your merchendise.

>>211293
he can't have the axe with him. iagn can have it though. but having an anti-magic axe while having an illusion spell cast on you sounds like a bad idea.

>>211294
It could be nearby. As long as he's not holding it things should work out decently.

>>211216
Sounds like a fine plan, but have the people who are attacking disguised, and have a squad of people 'rescue' the leader instead.
Then you have the option of keeping him, or keeping up a pretense of refugees while he's with you then repatriating him to his own side as a 'show of good faith' in order to secure passage.
Also, he likely has current troop movement information.

"The...(they don't have the word elf in their language)...pointed ear human named Shadeleaf shall place here to rain arrows upon enemy. This should allow us to retreat if bad things go...

"And what of the warrior? Who shall i subject to my magic?"

Well Iagn is certainly good when it comes to extended battles. I am more preferable to a hard attack and finishing the battle quickly. As for Kuta...I don't know, I still haven't seen him in action.

hmmm, well i think you would be best then. want to have this quick.

Well first I'd like to explore all my possibilities.

>>211293

"I have a man who may prove useful should a mage arise. But he has sustained many injuries. Do you have an apothecary?"

"Minujia is skilled very well in the healing arts. Let her see him, and he should be well enough to fight. At least for the time now."

Well that means Kuta is now available...

>>211311
"How exactly are we going to attack?"

"From here. My magic should cloak us well enough. And it allows us to move rapidly between the two ambush points, where I have the upper hand. But I do not know where the leader will be. He may be the sort that hides in the back (Meaning it will be a long battle), or from the front(My specialty).

hrmm, so we have a roughly 50-50 chance of it being good for one of you and a unknown chance that kuta would be good. since the odds are 50-50 we should choose in a way that is fifty fifty. get a coin and flip it. heads you go, tails iagn goes.

>>211401
The illusionary fighter is going to be a distraction. Have Iagn do it.

we were found in the same place the prisoners were obtained. it seems that if we are not held for extended periods of time our memory fades away. our first memory is being picked up by our current owner.

These are dire times, and we have been seeing to her well-being and happiness. He has been protecting her and keeping her happy, and aiding him has proven to be in her best interests.
As far as her family, we cannot say for we do not know. However, an ill wind blows when a princess's family renounces her life. Be wary of their lands; troubled times approach.

We will do our best to help you survive, Kamagan, but we are too unsure of the outcome to make promises.

somewhat, he knows that we hold an influence over him, but we are both unsure how deep it goes. some things he staunchly refuses no matter how hard we try to convince him to do so.

Thus far reasoned arguments have worked best for getting him to commit to a course of action.

"Right."

"Patrol shall arrive upon one day. I will need time to prepare illusion ritual. If you need preparations, make them tonight."

Well you heard him. Prepare. Not sure how though, there are many loose ends that need tying. Which ones are most important?

let's see... getting the slaves in the town and assigning guards and selecting troops for the mission is good. telling shadeleaf the plan is a good idea too. how about the progress you have made on the princess, is she your loyal slave willing to die at the drop of a hat for you?

>>212417
Sounds like a good idea. You should also make yourself familiar with the area where you will be fighting. Look for good escape routes and stuff like that if you need to get out of there quickly.

"But the men hear guarantee me that we will have a magic that will give us an advantage. In any case your task is to find the leader as we lure him into open ground and you will kill him. That should send the forces running. But I need you to scout the cliffside overlooking the village because I need to to kill him as soon as possible."

Well with that done I should look about. There are the north and south exits of the village, the square,where my troops are setting camp, and the Chieftan's home both where the Mo Sala are organizing the exodus of their people and the Guest Quarters where I have the princess held.

She recognized us, meaning that she can probably tell us more about how we work. Such as side effects and the like.
Besides that? People can't keep secrets from us, so we'll be able to tell how devoted she is to you. We can also explain the plan to get past her father's troops and her part in it.

There is much work to do. You have your part here and now, while we have to arrange things in advance.

>>216305
I would rather supervise stuff here. Oh, and you should give someone you trust back in the village orders to prepare for a hasty retreat if it becomes necessary.

You should always make back up plans in case the first plan fails, and then back up plans for the back up plans and so on. Have to make sure there is virtually no possibility of getting surprised.

"The Mo Sala beg to differ..."

"What?"

"What does this do? So far it has been bombarding my head with voices."

"You what?!"

Something tells me I may know more about you than she.

Well, by that logic, you should drill her for what she does know about it.

yes, figure out what she thinks we are, a kernel of truth may show up that lets us use another power or something.

Ah...why? Why does he do this?

>>216522
Oh, no. She's quite right; we're a rather dangerous artifact. The Mo Sala said we would bring luck, not that we're harmless. However, that just makes it more important that we know more about what we are and what we can do.
Drilling her for information would be fine, except you have a battle for which to prepare.

Hand us off to her and we'll see about getting the information we need.

Why do you think~?

>>216563
Because you enjoy it.

Hello, Gyoji.
What can you tell us about ourselves?
What is it that you desire?

well for one he does think you are pretty.
two, because we told him to.
anyway, hello Gyoji, we are the orb of infinite psyche, or as you call us Zui-hu. what exactly were you told we do?

>>216563
Hello Girly, was it really necessary to go so overboard with your fetishes that your father feelt forced to exile you into slavery? I mean you could just have been a bit more discréte about it.

Anyway, what do you think of your current master? Sexy devil isn't he.

Hello Gyoji, I'd really like to see your skeleton! Or at least one of your species. Which set of ribs was converted into a second set of shoulder blades? Where does all that extra muscle mass hook up? How strong is your second set of arms anyway?

By you, girly. We're a bunch of perverts in here.

yeah, a bit pervy :P . we'll try to stay on track though.

Us getting distracted by the fact we are in a woman. A perverted woman. A perverted woman we can now influence.

Magical trinket with voices inside. Lots of them. Ya know, the thing you're holding?

>>216871
Yeah. We have a track record of getting people laid and having breasts revealed to us. Cause we're a collection of spirits I guess. And apparently, most of us enjoy lewd activities.

We're also the ones who got him to treat you the way he does. Mainly cause it appears you enjoy it, and we want you to enjoy what you can. You're on the run after all.

"Ah...Ah-ha. Didn't lord...what is his name? Didn't the lord -ah- request something from you?"

Father never said the Zui-hu would act in this way...

simply wanted to know what you know about us. what did your father say we did?

That's Lord Venian. He's pretty cool, have you seen him fight yet? His bones hold no secrets though, he's as human as they come.

Your skeleton though, what stories do your bones tell, princess? Have you studied anatomy, or will we need to get a book later on this?

Also, we asked to talk to you and Lord Venian granted that request. We're hoping to get to know you better.

>>216937
Just a little reminder, we can hear your thoughts. The surface ones at least. Makes it simpler than speaking out loud, and as a bonus you look less crazy. So, how did you father describe us?

>>216937
Well you didn't seem to listen to closely to your father. If you did then I don't think they would have found a servant spanking you.

Anyway, why does that bitch of an advisor that your father keep around hate your guts so much? And your siblings as well it seems.

>>216937
When did your father hand us to you, and why?
Further, what do you know about us? Our abilities? Our nature?

There's no sense denying your perversions, as we have been with Veni the entire time and seen your behavior. You would do well to be honest with us, first and foremost about your attraction to Veni and your desire to be his love slave.

Beyond that, we have created a golden opportunity for you. You see, Lord Venian is a Rezan nobleman, and among the Rezan it is an abomination to sleep with a slave that is below a certain rank. If he indulged in you then at minimum it would mean disownment on par with your own, but there would be a decent chance of execution.
In order for you to properly have the place you desire - and don't insult us by trying to deny it - we have arranged for you to have a chance to advance your rank.
In a few days you will come within range of your father's forces. The basic plan is for everybody to disguise as refugees, and have you and Lord Venian ride out to meet with their officers to secure passage. They will not know about your dismissal, so you will be able to very easily convince them that you and a few royal guards are traveling with refugees fleeing the war zone. If they express concern over Lord Venian's obviously foreign nature, then tell them he's there for 'diplomatic talks' in such a way as to suggest that you are sleeping together and that the officers should keep that information to themselves. There is a decent supply of money should you feel a bribe is appropriate.

This plan proves to Lord Venian's people that you are loyal, and it meets the criteria for improved rank by saving the lives of Lord Venian and his troops. This is the situation you need to be in if you want to have a happy life.

So, what do you think of this plan?

>>216937
The more honest you are, the better we can tailor your enviroment. Or we can just berate you fo' info. That isn't nice though

Well father told me how the wisdom of this orb guided him to victories that increased his territory tenfold. he never told me how...crass you were.

>>216969
Oh...well i was in heat. And-and normally I stay locked in my room until the urges pass, but my door was unlocked and well...I lost control. But that was the only time!!

And what advisor are you talking about. My father has many of those.

>>216981
I couldn't make out the first part...ah...I see. I suppose that plan could be effective...though normally I am expected to stay out of sight of the commoners and have a royal guard speak on my behalf...perhaps Lord Venian-jin

>>217265

We speak the way people need to be spoken to, Princess. Calculated crassness can help shock a woman out of old modes of thinking, help her evaluate things as they are instead of how they ought to be.

So. Why'd you steal us if you weren't going to use us?

>>217265
Oh? So you've been in heat the entire time you've been his prisoner? You've been enjoying this treatment, and it's rather bold to claim otherwise.
We've been altering events to get you the life we think you want, but if you cooperate with us by telling what you desire then we can do a far superior job of it.

We heard that anecdote from Li Jue. Chang Narobu's Third Strategist and First Mistress.
That said, I'm curious why your father would let you have such a valuable artifact when he was so displeased with you.
It might be that Li Jue is manipulating your father in preparation for betraying him, in which case we would like you to make one small alteration to the plan. Namely, that you make the officers swear on their families honor to tell no one but your father himself that Li Jue is planning on betraying him and has already made a failed attempt on your life, as well as that if you are missing or dead within the month then it means she has succeeded. True or false, that works to your advantage.

Beyond that, there is a decent chance that they will try to separate you from your entourage in order to be sure that you aren't being coerced. If that happens then your story needs to match what Lord Venian tells them.

Please stop making me dwell on such a subject.

okay then, sure, we'll stop. so hat do you want to talk about? we do know many things about many subjects.

>>217295
I never suggested you stole it. Quite the contrary, I was mulling over how contradictory those two actions are.

Regardless, you need to tell us what you want from this life. You're currently on track for being Lord Venian's personal plaything; does this please you? How would you like your relationship with him to be? What position would you like by his side? Or not?
Answer completely and truthfully.

>>217295
Don't worry about it. We will make sure that bitch pays and you get a good life. We got some grand plans for a bright new future. I'm sure you will grow to appreciate it in time.

By the way, do you have any insight in how your father might move around his troops in this invasion. Anything that allows us to bypass them would be helpful.

wait wait wait, this is making less and less sense.
Why would your dad tell you about us if he wanted it delivered. You could have been a liability if he wanted you dead...

I have a feeling you were expected to have us, and that he sent you out for your own good.

On that note, we didn't see the king at all, just that witch. And that the guards and people follow what she says.

Either your dad is foolish.
Or he's very wise...

"Now what make Tsang Naji act crazy odd so? maybe you ugly? By human standard, you ugly are?"

>>217539
She's aware of the plan and has agreed to it.

We're nearly certain that her father is being betrayed by his mistress, but haven't informed the princess of this fact. This is important, since it requires us to make changes to the plan to account for divergent loyalties.

Also, she may have been in heat since you encountered her. Interesting, but not particularly useful. Wrap some velvet on your iron fist when handling her.

ugh, one in here thought it would be funny to say how much you want to bang her. and as you know everything is said, we can't silence another.

anyway. it seems this may indeed all be a ploy of Li Jue, as she was on a mission to give us to her brother when you got us. she also claims that the rumor was just somehow her door was unlocked while she was in heat, resulting in her wanting to bang the first thing that walked in. still has a spanking fetish though, her denying it SO hard means it is true. you don't react like that to falsehood.

She says no but she means yes.

>>217539
She was just overcome with joy over the future. Anyway, we didn't really learn anything massively useful. Just that her brother was supposed to have us and that we apparently helped her father at some point.

Anyway, how's it going on your end?

Not just at some point, but apparently we helped him with his meteoric rise to power.

We didn't remember this because of the nature of our enchantment. Who knew, huh?

Anyway Gyoji was blind-sided by her expectations of how we would behave.

I suspect there's a reason why her father stopped using us. A good one, not just that we're crass and rude. She said she was to deliver us to her brother. I wonder if he is a full-blooded brother, or a half brother by Li Jue? I didn't get a chance to clarify before we upset her.

Well it's good to know she agrees. It means she's becoming less resistant and easier to manipulate. Which means less hassle for me.

Our communication with him is just a touch easier what with reading thoughts and all. If you have any confusion about what to do hand us to him and we'll sort it out. Otherwise just go along with it, understanding it or not won't change much.

Go around town then and what buildings there are. If there are any good defensive positions and such for a rearguard action if you have to pull out and they're a bit too close for comfort.

a spar should do good, get lots of different movements.

Check for sturdy defendable buildings and make sure people know to use the southern exit in case everything goes to shit. You should always have a clear line of retreat and an exit strategy planned.

After that I guess you should warm up for the upcoming fight. Can't be stiff or something when it's time to fight them.

A good observation. If the fight does go into the city, I want to know where we can defend ourselves. Iagn has been exploring the village to get rid of his nausea, so if anyone has a good knowledge of the layout it's him.

"Iagn, I-what happened to you? You look different I-"

"Hat hair. That's it."

"Right. How does defense look in the village should fighting pour into here?"

"It's the worst place I could possibly be. There are no walls, the only defense they have is this barrier and it allows anyone in. The buildings are flimsy, flammable, and aside from the Chieftan's house, can be easily surrounded. The only plus I can see is that all the civilians are leaving before the fighting starts. That way I don't waste any energy killing them if they get in the way. My best suggestion for defense is do NOT allow it to pour in here otherwise it will be a bloodbath."

thank him for that. so letting it get here is a bad idea.
next up is the location the battle should be at. see if it has any nice rocks and stuff.

derp, i mean, nice rocks to hide behind for an ambush.

>>218512
Well that's good to know I guess, don't fight in the village. Possibly torch the whole place if you need to withdraw and hope it slows down pursuers.

Hmm, maybe you should actually put the slaves and the people who won't be fighting to the south side of the village to make sure they can withdraw easily, and order a few of them to be ready to torch the entire place at your order.

Once that's done lets go see how preparations for the ambush is going.

The paint recorded Venian's movements, that's why it was important. Now they have a good record of how he moves, and his phantom warriors will be able to serve properly as mimics.

Anyway don't let the blatant racism get you down. Low sexual dimorphism is a sign that both parents in that species contribute near-equal amounts of time and energy toward rearing the young, meaning that neither sex has a distinct advantage in mate selection.

True he does seem smarter than his superior. Though the original plan is to wait for Kamagan's signal. Right now, all I am to do is to wait for Kamagan to move the dolls into position.

Looks like it's go time. Kill bughelmet as an answer. This is the time for murdering fools, not talking.

uhhhhh, did you miss the part where we are stalling until Kamagan get's the illusion copies in position?

try some like... oh, wouldn't you like to know, i'm sure i could tell you how, for a price.

if they think you have something they want they won't attack. also they think they outnumber you so they will feel secure in their position.

>>237739
I thought that was one of the illusions. Guess the murdering will have to wait a bit then.

Ok, stall for time then. You know tell them they're stupid and ugly and you're awesome and all that.

Well the illusions is one part. Personally I want to bring that general here where I am standing. It will give Shadeleaf a perfect shot at him. FAiling that close enough so my blades can shear that ugly face of his.

"Well what do you expect? Hayaso military is so substandard I could stand right in from of your, ahem, 'scouts' and they would not notice me."

"Watch your tongue outsider scum. Do you know who you mock?!"

>>238652
"Mocking? Oh, no, I would never be so arrogant as to insult a Hayaso commander. However, I would like to point out that I am standing here and your scouts somehow failed to report not only myself, but also my entire caravan.
What I said was simply my appraisal; no offense was intended. If you disagree with it, then I'm sure you can tell me why they didn't consider my companions and I worthy of mention."

I'd say something like "If he had then you'd be dead already. I'm just here looking for fresh meat for the slave paddocks back home. Too bad you're all so incompetent I wouldn't even trust you to muck stables properly."

"A mercenary! You wound me, you couldn't hire a set of hips like these. I came here looking for you. You see, you are my son.

While I do want to anger him, I need to provoke him to attack. If I did that, he would probably send his entire troop against me, which isn't the plan.

"If he had then you'd be dead already. I'm just here looking for fresh meat for the slave paddocks back home. Too bad you're all so incompetent I wouldn't even trust you to muck stables properly."

"Upstart! You shall regret those words soon enough. Kajiro! Punish him!"

"Oh? Must the mighty general hide behind his lackeys?"

"You have not earned the right to die by my blade! That tainted blood of yours would sully a weapon such as mine beyond use. Kajiro, what are you waiting for strike him down!"

"But my lord surely this is a tra-"

"You are not here to think! You are here to fight! Kill this vile creature!"

It seems your initial guess was correct, this old man shows some intelligence. Now it seems I must face him. I just hope Shadeleaf does not mistake him for the leader.

HA, i like mustache dude. it is saddening that he is about to die, just a little. if you can i suggest trying to make it look like it's a close match for a little. warm up on him.

>>241159
This guy realized it was a trap, which means he's both smart and clearheaded. My advice would be to try to avoid killing him; the fact that the leader called him by name means that he's a direct subordinate, which means he would be taking the position when his commander fell.

You can use this.
If he lives and the leader dies then you can suggest he have his new command avoid battles that wouldn't harm his real enemy.

>>241159
Tell mustache dude that you can make an exception for him. He could get some quite nice position, he just needs to surrender.

If he doesn't then kill his old ass. If he does then further insult the leader and tell him that he's so incompetent he turns loyal soldiers into turncoats, because they can't stand serving under such a moron.

"There are no words to be exchanged Ju Gwah. My loyalty is to Hayaso, regardless who he may choose to lead me."

It seems diplomacy won't go anywhere. Though I do not want to kill him. I suppose merely injuring him will benefit me.

"And you lose."

those copies in position yet?

>>242023
Now you can say something like:
"So, 'commander', you obviously didn't get your position for your wits, sending others to die in your place means it wasn't for your honor or bravery, so that leaves few options.
Tell me, was it your skill in combat, or did your mother sleep her way into you inheriting this position?
Or maybe you and your lord has an unseemly fondness for men?"

>>242023
He can still use his arms. Better take out one of them as well.

Then we can keep insulting the commander. Something about how it's a great shame that his incompetence cost him such a good subordinate. Not that it was any real challenge, but the guy obviously had more smarts and a better fashion sense when it comes to helmets.

>>242048
No. He lost his foot, and that's enough. Beyond just making him unable to fight effectively, it very clearly shows that he is completely outclassed. Doing any further harm to him would be taken as uncertainty.

>>242153
He can still present a threat. He could throw the spear or use it as a crutch to hobble over and distract us at a most inoppurtune moment. Safe thing to do is to make sure he's completly out of comission.

>>242155
You haven't spent much time around limb loss, have you?
The chance of him being conscious is very low, we can take a few steps and keep him within our field of vision, his morale and loyalty are in the pits right now due to his commanding officer giving him an absurdly stupid order, and there is a small army of unharmed people there who are more than capable of interfering.

Attacking a crippled man would be taken as a sign of uncertainty and weakness. Besides, we want him alive and in fairly good condition.

>>242158
He hasn't lost that foot though. If he had, then that would have been fine, nothing else would be neede, he would likely pass out or be catatonic from chock. But it's still attached. Which is why we should make sure he can't do anything stupid that would force us to kill him. If we have to we can explain our reasoning to the others.

Even if we do cripple him for life he can still be useful. He seems pretty bright and observant. We should be able to find somehting nice for him to do where he can use those smarts for something good.

how about you stop arguing about it and let him decide?

I was hoping to let him take command after This imbecile is killed, but that is all conjecture now. Looks like Kamagan is ready.

"And thus your champion falls. How many more men will you cower behind?"

"You weak-blooded bastard. Your bones will feed the furnace to forge my new blade!"

signal shadeleaf that it is go time and start the slaughter.

well dang, kamagan isn't just illusions, that is some high class magic right there.

>>244683
Ok then, signal Shadeleaf to take down the leader. Then kill that guy with the ponytail and the sword. He doesn't quite look as panicked and incompetent as the rest, might be a problem if he makes it, he could rally them or something.

"You won't think it so festive when I cut your head off!"

>>251731
Hmm, seems like ponytail guy really is quite dangerous. Looks like he cut down one of the illusions. And where is Shadeleaf's arrows? That moronic leader is still alive and in the way, he should be dead by now.

Guess you're going to have to take it into your own hands. Cut him down and then take down ponytail guy, he seems dangerously capable.

Well Shadeleaf does like to be dramatic from time to time. Though it may seem it may come down to melee.

"You have skill I give you that much Ju Gwah. Feel honored that your weapon shall be reforged as my new blade."

"Not if I kill you first."

"Fool! A Hayaso General reaches his rank through skill! What do you have?"

>>251753
I'd say "Intelligence."

Hopefully, Shadeleaf will get him so the timing will be right for that to be suitably impressive.

>>251753
"Help." could work. Or just don't say anything and kill his ass as quickly as you can.

Maybe something like:
"He was a stupid man who lead you all into an ambush and didn't think to walk away."
Point to the man
"He figured it out and wanted to avoid the fight, and I rewarded him by sparing his life.
Tell me now, are you smart enough to take your fallen and go?"

>>252597

Point your sword at them and exclaim "Who's next?!"

>>252597
Well decapitation works here. Cut off the head, tell them he was a moron that has lead them to their death. Throw the head into their middle and then laugh, ask them who is next. If anyone steps up then kill them. Repeat. If the illusions and other stuff keeps killing them while all this is going on then they should break pretty soon as long ans there's nobody among them to rally them.

Well, either kill him or make a slave out of him. Full physical function isn't really necessary for a slave, well depends on what task they have, but there are tasks that can be done without it.

That's just it. He shows the skills to be a slave but...

"If you think I will talk Ju Gwah, then you will be disappointed. My loyalty lies only with Hayaso, the true Emperor of Hangzung! Kill me already and take my head to your abomination of a leader."

...that springs up. Eastaland soldiers are in general fanatical to their lord, Kuta being one of those rare exceptions. Yes a Holdmaster can break that near unbending loyalty, but it's costly and time consuming. This is why I'm conflicted. I can gain valuable insight into the Hayaso nation, perhaps even a staunch bodyguard, but until such a time I will have a rebellious spirit more difficult than the princess.

"Listen to him, he still thinks I serve Chang Naroubu. Oh you poor little man."

"You...are not loyal to your lord?"

>>255474
Inform him that you are a lord. Because you will be, eventually, but he doesn't have to know those details.

If he refuses to play nice then just tie him up and dump him among he packs. Let him out a few times per day to get food and take care of bodily functions. Then tie him up and dump him among the packs again.

>>255474
"HA! You really have no clue, do you? Naroubu wants the lot of us dead!

Here, lets make a deal. We want to leave these foolish nations. If you tell us what you know about where the various forces are, then I'll let you take your fool commander's corpse back to your men and you can tell them you bravely fought and slew us all or some such nonsense."

"I am loyal to myself, that's the only way I live. And if you want to live, you will be loyal to me as well. Now, you may not agree to that, but I am a kind and forgiving and I will not kill you today. Of course that isn't to say I will let you go... "

Tweak as needed, you know what buttons to push. You'll probably end up just trying him up for a while. Even if you don't put in the effort to win him over, he still might be of some use.
