Okay, to be fair, most gods only accept some species. So for some sentient beings, they just don't have a lot of options for higher powers! And when your choices are stuck between Chaos, Plague, Superevilbadstuff and Whydon'tyoujustkillyourself, the choice that's right for you can be surprisingly hard. Anyway, I'm an equal opportunity deity! I'll take anyone, even if I'll never get any elves or dwarves or the like!

But I digress. I've gotten a few prayers. I know nothing about them except for their species, gender and what they said to me via the shrine. I'll take care of all of 'em, but you guys can choose which you want to follow yourselves. Don't worry, I'll still do my thing to whoever you don't choose.


First off, here's some gnoll, he seems a bit loopy.

>"God! I'm sicka all these humans trashin' though my desert! I wanna repay 'em! Just me and my buds, an' show 'em what for!"

It's like I'm a divine vending machine to him. Moving on, a kobold kid. Not actually sure of his gender, I can never tell, so I'll refer to him as a boy.
>"Excuse me sir mister I don't know if you can hear me, but a monster took my sister's toy marbles and escaped through this cave! I'm not very strong and I probably have no chance without your help so please!"

Cute. At least he said please. Lastly for the moment, an odd girl. Made of slime. A slime girl. Weird stuff, but hey, Chaos ain't a judger.
>"I can't believe I'm doing this... Um! If you're really there, I need some help. This underground cave is always under attack by lots of people who want its treasures. I wouldn't mind, but they're always messing up our homes, and I should learn how to defend them! If you can help, then in return, I'll be your loyal servant until death."

The gnoll can plead insanity, but I'm just not sure if the other two understand what God of Chaos entails! So how about it, which one would you all like to follow? I'll give the downlow of how giving divine gifts and punishments work after the decision is made.

YUS.

Gnoll. Probably more exciting/violent/chaotic.

Slime girl

>>354593
To the Gnoll, give him a punishment for thinking of you as mercenary. Seriously, you and the Gods as a whole have an image to maintain! You ain't three-dollar whores. So, uh... Replace his arms with tentacles. That'll learn him.


To the second, grant him a little confidence and some strength to back it up. It'll go away as soon as he gets them back, but hey. Chaos ain't mean.

And to the third... Well, slime is a very interesting case, because thematically it aligns with Chaos. I mean, think about it, they're ever-changing protean beings! Tell her you'll give her power if she will be your prophet to the other slimefolk. Just do it through an intermediary, so you don't accidentally splatter her with your righteous voice, or something.

Slime girl! Could be alot of fun things done for there

>>354598
Oh whoops.

Slime girl, in this case. but my advice still applies to all three, we just won't see it happen.

Slime

It would be pretty chaotic to have that underbold kobold suddenly take down that monster! You could have the monster accidentally drop some marbles and trip over them, letting the kobold catch up. And make the kobold trip on the marbles too for good measure.

Kobold, let's rescue the fuck out of those marbles.

>>354593
The gnoll is easy.
Make him a weregirl with hyposexomania and powerful pheromones.
By day he has unbridled urges to seduce women, by night he turns into a woman and has unbridled urges to seduce men.

Any resulting kids are also weregirl/wereboy half-gnolls, but only have hyposexomania once a month on, lets say, the new moon, and the chance of further kids having it from then on goes as a bloodline thing.
They also get love/lust-based regeneration, obviously.

Humans will avoid the desert pretty damn quick.

For the Kobold? Just have it rain marbles, then bonk his sister on the head with her own marbles next time she sleeps.

Slime girl? A loyal servant until death? Shit, turn her into a giant indestructible slime that's gripped with madness but only harms those who would harm those in the cave. That's both!

But if I had to pick only one? Gnoll.

Turn the gnoll and his friends into humans.

Have random marbles appear all around the kobold. Pelt marbles all over the monster too, but all of are rocky and uneven.

Slime followers might be fun. We'll join her, and you give her a touch of chaos power, as befitting one who would serve you.

slimegirl. Treat her right, I say.

I think whatever we do to them, we should do it according to what they wished for. except not in a way they expect. for example, the boldling could get us as help.

Slime girl, but as the cost of her gaining the knowledge to defend her area she becomes aware of the whole clothes thing. That outta spice things up a bit. (Yeah I know where this is coming from but fuck it, it'd be interesting. Besides, might lead to slimegirl engineers. Come on, you know you want to see a slimegirl manning a trebuchet)

Gnoll: Send him and his friends to the gates of the nearest human city. Watch them get their asses handed to them.

Kobold: Drop the marbles on him.

Slime: Give the humans the treasure, then place some big nasty predator at the entrance to the cave.

Take your pick.

>>354611
This.

Follow the slime girl.

Give the Gnoll the ability to turn any human he bites into a gnoll. The human gains the knowledge that the only way to turn back is to do something suitably chaotic to appease you.

Give the kobold the power to kill any thief with a look.
If he ever steals anything himself he'll die.
He can also only talk in rhymes.

Give the slime the ability to create pure terror in anyone. But every now and again instead of scaring them the ability makes them fall madly in love with her.

Hey Tom, Can we have an official title since we are serving the legitimate God of Chaos? How about The Advisers of Chaos?

>>354626
I've got it. 'Tom's Guides of Chance'.
We can shorten it to TG-Chan.

>>354593
Kobold. Anything but the slime girl.

Slime girl!

We must assist the slime!

First of all, let's follow the slime girl. She seems nice, and as others have said, is a living embodiment of chaos. Also, Tom/Devourer/Duke/Chaos God/ Whatever, you now seem to have a permanent smile. Little bit more than before, I mean. I mean, looking at previous pictures of you before you became a full god, you had the same permanent smile, but this time it's more... Happy and broken... Anyways, ideas for people... Gnoll: Ugh, don't like him. I'm jus going t skip him and let you other advice souls decide Kobold: Have the monster constantly pelted with marbles until he gives the ones he stole back. Then turn him into a marble statue! OR her, whatever works. As for the slime girl, I have no idea how to give her power, but once you do, Please tell her not to go telling everyone in he world to support the Chaos God. One alive follower is better than 5 dead ones, trust me.

Haven't fucked with a slime before. I mean haven't helped a slime before.

>>354646
This should count as several negative votes towards the slime girl.

Let's try the slime girl for something new. We've spent enough time with kobolds and gnolls.

Holy crap thank god I decided to wake up early today.

I'll choose the slime girl too, for the sake of something new.

The kobold finds that raining marbles is a bit painful.

>"AHHHHH THANK YOU MISTER GOD OF CHAOS!"

Cute. I'll continue their treatment on my own.

For you guys, the main subject.

Slime girl!

>>354647
Haha even if that did count as several negative votes, she'd still win! Let's not get too raunchy now. I may be the Chaos God, but that doesn't mean I don't have any taste! Doesn't mean I have a lot, either.

Alright! There are only two real rules I was given for now, lest I follow the path of my predecessor.

#1. I can only directly affect my servant. So, while I could mutate my subjects, I can't mutate people around them! The exception to this rule is if I give her Chaos Magic. She'll have to learn it, and it would become her choice to use it. Though what it does can be up to us! Details of this sort of magic will come up later.
#2. I can't talk to my servant freely. I can do one message per day! It has to be a relatively simple one. It could be a question, too. The more piety she's got, the more we can send more messages and more complex ones. And no, I asked, I can't game the system by sending her items with writing on it. Anyways, if she lives long enough (that'll take a lot of good luck), we may yet be able to hold a conversation with her.

The next part isn't a rule so much as a guideline: I get my sustenance by Chaos in the world. It's like my paycheck. Yet, I do have finite power. It shouldn't be a problem for single cases, but I can't just give super glowswords of Iwin to everyone that looks nicely at my shrine! The goal here: get my servant to make chaos. If they do something real clever that messes things up for anyone, then that'll give me a good reason to give them a real nice item. If they purposefully let things settle, they should get a punishment! Since I can't talk to them directly, it'll be like training a pet dog or something. Positive or negative reinforcement, that's the key!

Now I know, I know, the slime girl looks all nice and some of you guys will want to help her to no end, and I'm cool with that for the most part, but do think of Tom now and again and his duties! Play our cards right, and she'll be able to get her dungeon defended while sewing chaos!

And sure why not, you guys are now the Advisors of Chaos.

>"Oh, please give me a sign you've heard me, if it isn't too troublesome for you!"

I'm as new to this as you guys are. Shoot some ideas, and I'll see what I can do.

>>354657
Have the eyes turn a soft blue.

Now, as for her message:

"I will grant you power, if you shall spread my name and word among your people." Pretty simple!

And then we give her KAY-OOOOOS magic.

>>354657
Hmm, a sign? Make the little statue of you wiggle about then wink.

>>354657
Burst into treats.

>>354659
Don't forget that we want her to spread chaos too. If she understands that it'll be easier to get our paycheck.

Well, I suppose we should start with asking her for her name and her numbe- I mean, What she would like to wield to defend her cave thingy, magic? physical strength?

And well, if you can give her Chaos magic, maybe you can give her a simple rod?

"Yep! Prayers heard and all that. It's dangerous to go alone, take these advisors as a present! Now go be a good little slime and mess with them adventurers, 'kay?"

Give her the ability to grow crystals of meth (or the herb equivalent) like a crop. If that doesn't inject some chaos into the world, your fate was futile to begin with.

have a black slug crawl out of the mouth of the statue and into her hands.

because your tongues look like black slugs.

Also, give her a giant potato peeler. Why? Who knows! It could be useful somehow! Or not!

>>354660
>>354676
Also these.

>>354659
This, but with red eyes instead. And make her all of her people to worship you. Give all the ones that do the ability to force enemies into madness.

We should totally have chaos magic perform a random magical feat when it is cast. That would be fuck-awesome.

Make her taste like tacos!
... Maybe I should eat before suggesting stuff

>>354680
>>354682

No wait, combine these and give her a spell that turns her into/pelts people with tacos! :3

Might as well let her know what she is getting into, you know, "My blessings often have unexpected effects, disciple, do you wish for one?" Chaos doesn't have to be random, just as long as it is a chance for change.

>>354685


pshyeah right. don't. she shoulda thought about it before she asked help from the god of chaos.

>>354659
Or rather have them turn the color she is and glow. Maybe make a flickering aura too. Nice and subtle but still stylin'. As for a message, let's set the tone and have a bit of fun with it. Get her in the right state of mind.

"Haha! You desire to serve me? Very well! But Chaos does nothing for the stagnant, you must flow wild and free! Amuse me, surprise me, and you will gain my blessings! I'll send my Advisers to get you started. You all have fun now, kiddo~"

>Burst into treats
I need these shrines, you know! But she can have one.

"I will grant you power! If you spread my name and word and actually mostly just Chaos. Don't stagnate! Amuse me and don't forget about me not like you'll be able to. Do well, and you'll be very strong! Also you can cast a tiny little bit of chaos magic now. Have this, it's dangerous to go alone!"

We can ask her if she wants a random effect later. That's about the extent of a single message for now.

>Rod given, as well as treat and potato peeler and a slug.

Wait, what. She didn't say she was lazy! Well, fine. Anyways, ability to grow drugs or herbs is a little bit strong for her at the moment! Let's see what kind of character she is before trusting her with my powers.

A potato peeler is enough randomity for the time. We need not overdose her with things that we'll probably never see again.

>>354680
That's exactly what her level 1 spell is. A random, though minor, effect.

By the way, I can't send you guys to her! Well, not yet. God silence and all. We've got to encourage her though actions! I guuuuuessss we can wait for her nap.

Turn water in bucket into fireworks.
Launch fireworks.
Have them spell 'Wake Up' on the ceiling in burn marks.

How long is "a long time"? Hours? Minutes? if it's the latter, be patient Tom, good naps are awesome and should be respected!

If not, pelt her with eggs to wake her up.

>>354701
Make her a normal-girl.

Have her skin/etc be acid resistant. And then have her sweat acid.

Slime eh? Hmm, I think salt would be too big of a punishment...for now, at least.

Make acid proof fish and put them in her.

Let's not be too hard on her, I think it's just a slime thing. I think our next boon to her will be the ability to need less sleep.

Lets be subtle and low energy, send her restlessness and wild dreams. She... does dream, right? Damn we don't know a thing about these people yet. If nothing else works make her wiggle vigorously, she should notice that.

Make her start itching.

Followers sleeping? There is an obvious solution:
Sleepwalking!

>>354713
That is just too evil.

Make a loud sound to wake her up.

>>354701
We don't know how long she traveled to get to your shrine. Also, falling asleep immediately after being given divine instruction is far from expected.
Wait until she wakes up and finishes her morning routine, then have a bunch of illusionary clocks appear and go off at the same time in a recreation of the opening scene to Back to the Future.

depends on how long it's been. 1 hour is the limit. after that then yeah, acid proof fish swimming in her is a good idea.

It's been long enough! Fireworks! Alarm clocks!

Casted: Level 1 Random Effect

Okay, that's our cue! Remember, this spell is only level one. You can say something major, but chances are it'll fail. This will give you a good idea of how powerful it is not.

>>354733
Butterflies. right in her doubting friend's face!

(Oh, and Tom, how's Minci doing?)

>>354733
TRANSMUTE ROCK TO VEGEMITE!

>>354733
Bowl of strawberry-banana swirl pudding appears. Over Muo's head. Pudding side down.

Level 1 Summon: Burrito.

Yes! A massive swarm of giant butterflies!
Also, glowfish sounds tasty.

>>354733
Turn Slime Child into MASCULINE CHINNED HUMAN

>>354735
The fish are gone, but the slug could glow...

Or she could glow.

>>354733
We shouldn't make a habit of this kind of thing but lets drop a bit of info to let them know you aren't that old asshole. After all if we want to be popular among slimes we should have a better impression on them, right?

Here's what we do: Make a little illusion of the old chaos god, looking all mean and stupid stuff. Then from the end of his tail your happier and nicer face appears, and eats the other head off. Then a smile wink and giggle off.

Levitate the other slime person and make her(?) spin rapidly.

A pencil appears!

>>354748
Seems like an idea that will probably weird them out a bit. Go for it.

Hair into snakes.

Have the spell shoot out confetti! Only the confetti is actually very tin flakes of gold and silver, so that there's just enough there to buy a nice meal or something.

Give the other slime person a regrowing Afro.

Butterflies

>>354763
Changing vote to this, it's useful and pathetic at the same time.

Summon dancing imp.

Summon Roman Candle projectiles. Nothing is more random than glowing explosive balls flying along random trajectories.

>"I-I guess your right. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea..."

Uh oh, we're losing her. Here, let me explain the pair of concepts up there to you guys. On the left is the current chaos she's spread. If she gets enough, she'll be able to get more power from me! The one on the right is her piety, though it could be called loyalty or friendliness as well. It can be a bit of a tradeoff, as she may not like how I get her to spread said chaos. No one says she has to like me, but she has to get higher piety if we want to talk to her more. And if she hates me, then.. well, she might denounce her faith or something crazy! And on the other hand, if we're too nice, she may not spread enough to get strong enough to defend her home.

So, in short, a particularly harsh punishment might get her to really move and do her job, but she certainly won't like it.

Well for now, we have to encourage her.

Let's get her to cast a spell again, this time, the effect will cause a stalagmite in the cave to shatter in a tiny blast.

If there are any butterflies remaining make them explode in a bright burst of light

Ka boom go butterflies

all butterflies start doubling until the room is made entirely of butterflies. then they all vanish in a burst of light.

>>354788
Hmm. So, ideally we would do chaotic things that she likes BUT won't baby her. Especially if the reason for the chaotic thing is her casting a spell.

Well, you heard her friend. Smack her with a potato.

>>354788
Drop a tempest in a teacup on her head.
If it gets tipped over then the tempest will spread outwards to cover the floor, with an inch of salt water on the bottom, then an inch of airgap, then two inches of clouds. Lighting everywhere in the thing. It lasts until the cup is righted with at least some of the storm inside it.
If it breaks it'll spin around the nearest thing while hitting it with annoying-grade bolts of lighting and soaking it. Lasts about, oh, lets say, two minutes.
If sipped then it tastes like blue/green, does absolutely nothing to the drinker's hydration level, and contains an unlimited amount of tempest.
The teacup can never be more than five meters from her.

So, how are the other contestants doing?

+ to Butterflies explode.

>>354796
I like this idea. Only with more nearly smother them to death in it.

Make the butterflies able to consume stuff in a flash of fury and teeth, rather like a butterfly locust. That she can mildly control

The remaining butterflies will be turned into flying potatoes with scary faces.

Exploding nonlethal butterflies.

Supporting the butterflies 'exploding' in a way that's not damaging, just to (hopefully) prove it COULD be damaging if we wanted it to be.

Oh! I forgot to mention. When the piety gauge hits one side, she'll level that up. Right now it's at level 0. If we hit level 1, we'll be able to communicate better with her! And maybe something else. I don't know. I kind of didn't get any pamphlet titled "So now you're a God of Chaos."

And when she makes enough disorder, she'll be granted more power. We'll decide on what when she gets off her bu- oh.

>"... okay, fine, that's something, but I question how that works. And I'm going to tell all of our friends to steer clear of you, now that you prayed to the chaos god! You were supposed to go talk to the lizardmen tomorrow asking for help, too. We think there's another pack of adventurers coming through in a couple of days."

Namely, feeling incredibly itchy.

>>354835
Zis.

>>354836

Yeah, definitely don't want her to be hated by the people she wants to save...

>>354835
We should reveal that after she has ascended in piety a little bit.

Anywho, back to the slime! I didn't have so much time to put up the illusion, but remember rule #1! Most of my things should only happen to her and her alone, unless she casts the random effect spell. It's a little fuzzy, but let's not chance the illusion for now. After all, I don-

>>354846
Oh crap! I totally wasn't supposed to do that! Completely broke #2, there. Maybe that'll be allowed to let slide but from now on no more blatant words!

Annnd she overslept. Time for the alarm clock of massive itching!

>"Ahhh I'm sorry why are you so mean I just need some sleep! Okay okay I deserved it! I'm going to go play diplomat with the lizardmen. They're all very scary, but with a little luck I can get their help! O-oh, what are all those items... ah, I don't have time to worry about it now, I have to go!"

Aww, pause. Okay so I guess we have to sit back and see what happens with the lizardmen when unpausing occurs.

Man this quest is super fun

>>354863
>Completely broke #2, there.
No, you didn't technically. You asked if you could send messages written on items, not if you couldn't use items to create your messages.

Also, god of CHAOS. Some slippage is expected.

hmm, so punishments when she thinks she deserves them makes her loyalty go up.

Wait what did you do to the gnoll?

Also, lets try to be more God of Chaos, and less God of Silliness. Try something with a bit more gravity to it. Like a bow/crossbow that does damage opposite of what the target believes it will. So a kobold child would only get a pin prick, while an great armored overconfident champion would be blown into pieces.

Let's give her a speed boost when she gets to running off to do her thing. Either make her slip around faster or jump around or something. Think flubber. Just as long as we don't mess her up, we need to be useful here!

>>354863
If the illusion is only seen by her it still holds value... of course we can just outright tell her chaos has flipped it's karma coin next chance we get. Or is there a reason we shouldn't?

Speaking of how close are we to the next day and the next message we can send? Not sure how long that first "nap" took.

>>354876
Yeah and besides you weren't conveying anything important. Even though there was a word there was no message that the loud noises and stuff didn't already accomplish. Let's try not to test the issue anymore though.

>>354889
He got teleported to the middle of the group of humans. It makes trouble for him but should give his allies an advantage by messing the enemy formation up.

>>354889
I absolutely second the idea of that. It'll cause massive amounts of confusion, increasing the chaos level, which indirectly could allow us to increase her piety level through lots of fun activities that are chaotic. However, we would need a much higher level to be able to even form the bow there, most likely, let alone attach that enchantment to it. Still, I like it.

>>354889
i like this idea. granted it may not be immediately relevant, but it is exactly the kind of weapon a chaos god would make.

>>354901

I get the impression her piety went up because we let her sleep the full amount. It would've - better have - gone up even more if we let her oversleep.

I like the bow idea! We'll give it to her when she gets another rank in chaos. In other news, it's a new day, and we can send a message to her if we like.

>"H-h-hello!" Muo says.
>"They ssend a sstammering slime girl to me? I expect warriors, not sniveling girls."

Oh, wow. Lazy and spinele - oh. This would be a good time to remind you that we're not limited to just items or physical stuff! While we're limited to sending her messages, though we can send her one for today, we can mess with her emotions still. Could make her all berserk. Or wimpier, somehow.

>>354927
+ assertiveness and anger. A lot on the former, as much as we can manage.

>>354927
confidence and assertiveness

yes, assertive as hell.

Yeah send this girl some confidence.

Oh and there is a slight problem I see with the reverse effect crossbow: A normal crossbow would be entirely useless against slime creatures. That one... well, we'd better hope it doesn't misfire or ricochet into her friends. Or get grabbed and turned on her. It would be a terrible mess.

Stop doing things the smart way! That's not chaotic at all!
Make her bloodthirsty and ludicrisly happy.

The trick to chaos is that chaos isn't disorder. If you can wrap your brain around that you're pretty set. Things that are chaotic are unpredictable; tiny changes in the initial condition produce hugely different results. So the crossbow of proportional badassery would be one of those. Things that are disordered are random, but not necessarily unpredictable. Disorder can absorb chaos in fact, the same way that an explosion could be muffled by prodigious amounts of feathers, so increasing disorder isn't necessarily good for the Chaos god.

Give your slime disciple a boon that she always feels well rested, and also narcolepsy, falling asleep at unpredictable (sometimes inconvenient) times.

>>354935
I support this.
And if we want her to do something useful or funny when she falls asleep, she will sleepwalk.

ANGER

>>354935
this, but make sure she can't fall asleep if shes agitated. we don't want her dozing off mid fight or something.

>>354948
What if we make her a skilled fighter while sleepwalking?

>>354934
No that's just stupid.

>>354935
I agree there should be some chaotically themed tradeoff for being rested, but narcolepsy would be a hassle. Wouldn't look good for us either. How about if sleep is far more effective at resting her, but she moves around a bit. Maybe not sleepwalking but changing shape and color and things. Like a living lava lamp.

So wait! Go for more whimpy and passive. If we can reach a level of pathetic-ness so impossibly low, maybe we can break their reasoning abilities by enlightening them to levels of feebleness previously inconceivable. And it would be fun!

While she's walk-- slith-- traveling, let's decide on a boon for now. A definitely positive boon requires some sacrifice on her part, but we can have arguably neutral ones for her no problem.

1. Narcilepsy - She'll sleep an average amount of time and feel rested, but might fall asleep at random intervals.

2. Sleepwalking - She won't need to sleep as long, but she'll sleepwalk frequently, and likely not remember what she's done.

3. Nothing for now.

She will not thank us for smiting her father, it will not help her become popular with her people, and it's unlikely that it would significantly increase the amount of chaos in the world.

lets not mess with her dad. however lets tel-port all the items back to where they belong.

Haha what? This guy is a jerk. We can't be having her doing what gelatinous rude here says. Can we write an inscription on her rod that says "Property of Muo"? And maybe as a peace offering to her dad, can we make a new shiny monocle and awesome top hat for him, just put it right in front. It should of course be acid proof and entirely indestructible.

If neither of those are doable than just give her confidence and hopefully she works it out herself.

Hiiiiilarious. I do enjoy teleportation! It might not have caused chaos perse, but it sure amused me. Level up! Choose a spell for her, if you guys don't mind!

Random Effect Level 2 - Significant changes
Polymorph - A change of species for at least one hour. (Can only affect one target at a time.)
Mind Control - Lets Muo take control of one target. However, Muo is rendered immobile during the channeling.

Also, an item! There's the crossbow we talked about, that gives damage opposite to what the target expects it to do, and all sorts of crazy stuff if the target doesn't know what to expect! If that is agreeable, go ahead and say so. Then we'll see how she fares against this little mess she - I - got her into.

polymorph.

I'm kinda ok with it, but do we know if she even can wield crossbows? Loading and firing? And what about ammo? I'd much rather make it a chaos bolt enchantment for her rod that does almost the same thing.

I'm leaning towards polymorph for a spell. Could be handy right now.

>>355062
Polymorph, definitely.

And yeah, I think the crossbow is fine. I'd make it a small model, with a wider than usual slot for the bolt- so that the user can put whatever the heck they want into it and try to shoot it, just to see what happens.

Don't give it to her yet, though! Hold off until she thinks all is just about lost, so that we can maximize the amount of appreciation she has for our efforts on her behalf.

Polymorph, but make the species entirely random.

nah, just a normal Polymorph spell, and give her the crossbow right now. she needs it to not die.

Polymorph.
Opposite Crossbow? Fuck that.
WABBAJACK Crossbow.

>>355076
That is a cool idea but it is redundant since we can just use a spell we already have for that.

How about a bow that heals the wound it makes but makes the target think they are in agonizing pain.

>>355069
How about a crossbow with a quiver of infinite arrows, each arrow dealing out a new and random effect based on a roll or something. (healing, polymorph, wounding, explosion, teleportation, rabbits, etc.)

I personally want to see the other two options, but Polymorphing might be nice.

Polymorph it is! I do like that idea of waiting to give it to her, but I think after a single polymorph, she's already going to be wishing pretty hard for some help against two foes. We'll settle on Opposite Bow for now, but we can change it at a later date. Oh, and another good point that she may not know how to use it! Now would be a good time to learn. I'll put an arrow already notched for her, so she just has to point and shoot. That's how it works, right?

>Oh! I feel stronger! And a new spell and item! Thank you!

Elf fires bow, deals 10 damage!
>"OW."
Muo casts Polymorph

A dice is thrown. The new species' power is based on the number, from a scale of 1-100, a higher number being stronger. 65 is set at the target's own strength, so the probability is in Muo's favor of a weaker creature.

Here goes! A random change for polymorph!

BOOM

Well, I guess that counted!

>>355122
Nope, not now. If she refines her skill though she'll be able to invert the numbers, so that the scale is reversed.

>>355127
Damn, and I was just going to ask if she actually needed to hit anything for there to be an effect.

Guess all she needs to do now is seem really pathetic and never learn how to aim, or at least look like she could not hit the broad side of a barn from a couple of meters away..

>>355122
who cares what the odds are, she can keep casting it on herself until she rolls a nat 100

Hey lets load her crossbow again with the arrow in her head.

>>355129
I think she needs to at least make an effort, and besides the added effect isn't going to be so great all the time. I'll chalk up the boom to beginners luck.

Oh jeez she's going to shoot the crossbow at the elfman who now expects it to do massive damage. She is in so much trouble. If only her affinity with you were level 1!

>>355132
Well, I agree that she should make and effort, to try and shoot something, but I fear that better she actually gets at it, the weaker the effect gets.

Also, I agree with the arrow thing, considering that she apparently does not have a quiver for arrows, though now that I look at it, I think it is a crossbow and it might not actually work, seeing as you would normally use bolts. Then again, the archer elf would probably know that, expect the arrow not to even fire and then die horribly when it somehow does..

>>355127
Well, I think at this point we don't need to take any action. Mio has more than enough abilities to handle the whole situation herself- the adventurers might well run away, and she has Random Effect that she can use at will if nothing else.

Can she cast Polymorph again and just end the last Polymorph, or is she stuck unable to use the spell until the first casting wears off naturally?

>>355134
The opposite crossbow does reverse of expected damage when it its, the added effect is a separate randomness. Her skill only effects hitting. And we would use that arrow because it'll be funny to shoot it back at its archer, we can modify it to fit if it needs it.

>>355135
I'm hoping that the reloaded crossbow will act as enough deterrent without actually firing it. They don't know it's random, they'll just guess that it blows shit up all the time.

For every vote of "confidence" I'm taking on "unbridled lust" to it. That should make things interesting!

>>355150
Confidence is good for social stuff, lots of other ones are good for combat situations. Hornyness isn't one of them, but it could be funny.

Since I made it up, I say that BADASSERY is not wholly incompatible with being a sexy and lusty slimebabe.

You know what, I'm gonna go with curiosity.

We should so go with being horny and friendly. What could go wrong?!

lets not do horny. there is no way that would end well, and it would probably make her less pious. though trying to get her to make friends with the elf would probably create a good chunk of chaos, changes how people view the slimes and all.

I vote Sexy Badass.

Heee. And since we're so close, I'll say it now, when we're level 1, I think we'll be able to speak to her in simple statements. No elaborate plans, though! Once we're level 2, I'll actually be able to send you guys to her, and you can speak to her directly, like you're used to.

But really, let's get the emotions up!
>Curiosity (influence of friendship)
>With lusty undertones

Oh look, she can heal herself! That makes sense, slimes should be able to reform their... whatever they're made of.

>"U-um, excuse me, elf! Person! I was just wondering, um, I don't really have anything against you, I'm just trying to protect my home! I-I'm wondering... if you... would like to my friend?"

Glup

>"Nope."

Casted: Level 1 Random Effect

She's getting the hang of this, so I can work emotions into the elf, too. So if you reeeally wanted them to be friends, that would do well for her chaos points! Well, since it's a minor spell, the friendship wouldn't last for very long. Even better!

>>355169
Bwahahaha! Yes, let's do that!

FRIENDSHIP!

Charmmmmmmmmm

friend ship effect, tinge it with curiosity not lust. ideally the elf will go home and start asking questions about why its ok to basically raid the slimes. possibly starting a large shift in policy.

Do it. EXP grind like a boss.

Though maybe we should start getting serious here,my RPG instincts gives me red lights even if her HP isn't all that low yet.

Once the friendship wears off, use the arrows he flings off you back with your opposite bow.

Elf falls in love with own bow.
Hilarity ensues.

>>355175

The seeds of doubt, the seeds of chaos. Plus every slimegirl quest inevitably goes this way. SUDDENLY MOON

A sudden inexplicable slime girl fetish sounds like a lot of fun. We'll see just how acidic these slime folk are in regards to clothes and skin as well. More practically if she can melt his bowstrings in the process that will negate his being a threat.

And give more of those previous emotions to the girl, plus some being pouty. Make the fella feel bad.

We should so do it. Especially with an undertone of lust.

I see brain bleach needed in the future. I'm grabbing my goggles!

POLYMORPH! FORM OF SLIMEDUDE!

Or grab his junk.

Polymorph him again!

>>355205
Hmm. Can we give Muo a sudden sense of cunning? Is that close enough to an emotion to suffice here? There are a bunch of ways to talk her way out of getting in trouble with the rest of the slimes, but she'll need the inspiration to successfully fast-talk in order to do it, instead of panicking and stuttering.

>>355207
GIRAFFE

Yes, make him a slime dude. He would be unable to harm the slimes if he was one of them. Also, it would mess with him so much.

we are talking to tom not her, ok how do we convoy to her that we want her to start working on making peace between the slims and whatever group these guys came from? we could use our daily message to her. tell her "my plan involves you making friends with this elf, for now invoke your magic." then we charm the elf again and hopefully if they talk enough they will form an actual friendship. if we can start changing the cultural values that make it ok for people to just murder slimes and take there stuff we can cause some major chaos.

>>355214
Yes, we could use our daily message to tell her to quit being a bunny caught in the flare spell, and to cast polymorph!

A sense of cunning is possible, but won't guarantee it. It will however let her play along with whatever she turns it into.

So how about it, use a daily message?

>>355216
I'd rather try for cunning than give her explicit advice or full-on commands. Honestly, the fun of chaos is giving people tools and seeing what they do with them- not constantly poking our noses in everything ourselves. That's lame.

>>355216
Let's tell her to switch tactics. She has an enemy surrounded by her allies. She could turn this to her advantage.

Don't say exactly how.

We could get her to suggest that she used friendship (and her magic) as a ploy to trick him into coming into the colony, where he can be a prisoner and interrogated as to what those folks were doing here and if there'd be more.

Shoot her a dash of cunning and confidence to help her bullshit her way through this.

Let's do a new thing, if we can send a message that not only she hears we can inform her and help our image too.

"Slimefolk, I am the god of chaos! I have decided to help Muo help you because I am now nicer but I will not explain why! Deal with it! The not-elf is here to be useful or else!"

And this is a big but.

Something is wrong with this picture.

She was doing so well! Until now! She goofed up pretty hard, here, and I intend on doing something about it!

worth it. if she had simply gotten herself kicked out it would have made it harder for us to do anything further with her. if she actually makes friends with him and gets him to question how its ok to kill her species we can really shake things up. we are a god of choas so it is our job to create change, but we still have a duty to improve the life of our followers. if we can change the social more of the society the elf comes from so they stop killing slimes we are doing both. though for the immediate future we are probably only going to get the ball rolling on that.

It was a measely 15 points. Make her trip or something. I mean, wrath of god and all, but pretty soon she's going to be barricaded in her own room protecting a guy who wants to arrow her to death with her friends and companions demanding that she turn him over for justice. And she can't because she already tried to save him. Wasn't that what we were going after in the first place? Sounds like delicious chaos to me. Then again it was her and your first failure...

Wait, can a slime trip? Let's find out.

We must think long term! If crazy antics happened right then they almost certainly have caused her problems with her people and made her not like us. A dip in energy is better than a mopey servant. Besides we still got 10 points out of the whole deal. Now that she took control, the stage is set for greater shenanigans.

Let's send a message to her and tell her what's what. Tell her that she messed up a bit and needs to make up for it by messing with him and everyone. She can't rely on our gifts to provide all the chaos! Next time she makes peace without chaos she gets punishments. Also inform her of the sleep wandering thing.

Boss, this is her first slip up. Not to mention we haven't and currently can't indoctrinate her to the Ways of Chaos, seeing as we can't talk to her yet. With that in mind, keep her punishment light.

She's in a cave. Just make a stalactite fall on her or something. Not one big enough to do too much damage but still a punishment for being unchaotic.

Oh hey also, punishment is not negative reinforcement. You hear me? It totally isn't. Here's how you do negative reinforcement. You make someone's life hell for no god damn reason, and they just can't stop you from going after them at every opportunity, until they do what you want. Then suddenly you leave them alone. Negative reinforcement is pestering, not punishment. It's Mister Miyagi teaching the Karate Kid by screwing with him until he does something right, and then just sitting back and letting the negative reinforcement take hold.

I have to say this because punishment doesn't work to modify behavior. It really doesn't. Every study indicates it just makes things worse. A smart god would make terrible things happen to her just for the hell of it, until she did something right, and then mysteriously lessen the tension. If you only punish her once when she does something wrong, it won't take. You gotta keep it up until she does something right. Or just leave her alone. Losing 15 points isn't that bad if the big picture means chaos up the yin yang.

...that said, an idea for later is to encourage her to change the elf into a slime. Upon doing so she herself changes into an elf. Hilarity ensues.

Don't punish her too severely; it doesn't help if she doesn't know what exactly she did wrong. Just give her something minor, like changing her body's color or making her glow a bit. That way she knows it's us, and that it probably means she messed up somehow. We can work on teaching her the ways of chaos when we can actually say more than a sentence to her.

Tell that to the god of plague! That guy's a dick!

But I guess you guys are right. Wow, you really don't want much punishment. I really think the tune would change if we're with the gnoll! Anyways, we'll keep it simple, cause I like you guys.

Inside Muo's room

>"Guess you haven't killed me. Whatever. Why not, though? Why'd you suddenly change back there?"
>"I um.. I don't know! Even though we both kind of.. got friends with each other for some odd reason but then realized our mistakes, I felt sorry for you! I don't know why! I should be killing you! Um.. but I'm glad the god of war gave me some intuition to save you, for some reason."

Loyalty +1

And there we go! She's earned herself the ability to hear simple messages to herself freely now. Keep in mind, you're still talking to Tom here, but I can relay messages to Muo! As long as they're relatively simple. You shouldn't have to worry about it as long as they're not elaborate plans. I guess we can start with a question or two, just to test it out.

The cool idea is to get her to think of one for us.

>>355288
exactly! if she thinks we know what we are doing she will be more willing to take risks.

>>355286
Chaos gives me power, my power gets you gifts, and they aren't going to be that simple! Use him to make some crazy stuff happen! Transform him maybe, try a few times!

>>355286
Fill her with more fish.

>>355286
Plink her with ice cubes. Not very many. Then tell her solving a problem directly like that would not cause Chaos. Then tell her we want her to cause a ruckus doing the other thing. Or we will.

I think the greater potential choas is to give her water, and then have her befriend the elf. I still say those two becoming friends despite the racial tensions will create the most chaos.

Give her watersense... Dowsing or whatsit. In return for something.

Wait, instead of pelting her with ice cubes, make a tiny cloud above her that starts snowing.

For now just her, but if she casts the random effect spell and there's not something relevant we want to happen, we should make the whole caves snow so everyone can have chaoswater.

She wants the easy route?

She's lazy. Really god damn lazy.

You've got to fight for what you god damn want, wether thats through social manipulation, charismatic persuasion, Intellectual debate or physically taking what you want.

To Muo:
If life was easy, life would be boring. You asked for the help of the god of chaos, sugarslime. You want something to happen? Make it happen.

Either give her dowsing for a heavy price or a tiny, itty bitty plate of cherry flavored jello to tide her over.

Guys, I just had an idea. Her next boon is a sense of pleasure every time she does something chaotic. The more chaotic, the more pleasure she feels.

>>355286
Muo: Conquer gnolls, obtain water. OR you could seduce elf-boy there so we'd get some half-elf/half-slime abominations running around; that would be worth water. Hasta be his free will though.

>>355286
Why does she want to help him out anyway? Ugh. Her decision, I guess, but it seems crazy to me.

We've been helping her a lot, and she hasn't done much to help us- sure she's made things more chaotic, but not by a lot and not deliberately. She needs to understand that this is a two-way exchange, here; we give her as much help as we feel like and she creates all the chaos she can.

>>355348
That could actually work out really well. And if her repeatedly making order is a problem, then that can cause nausea, again proportionate to how much she created.
