Hmm.. That girl was interesting.

As she leaves your castle you can feel an almost invisible force return to you. A sort of consciousness perhaps?

Anyway almost all the Rust Monsters are gone now. You wonder as to how they even got there in the first place..

Still, that means you know who was involved, and that would be of use.
I'll forgive you, but we will be keeping an eye on you. Obviously, you also won't be getting that dark-haired submissive spear user you want.

hey, what about, since it doesn't bother us that much personally, we have everyone ELSE think of punishments? if rose goes through all of them she will be aloud to stay. rule is they cannot cause a un-healable wound i mean like, even death and respawn wouldn't remove it kind of thing. death is aloud since respawn is enabled but we'll need to hold onto her equipment when that happens so it doesn't poof with her.

If we do decide to execute Rose, which I don't agree with, we should also execute Shana. You know. For the whole ''Torturing my minions and disobeying my orders and creating generally low morale for anyne who is tortured'' Reason.

Seems reasonable, although I was thinking that the rift between her and Emily and Styx would be worse than any physical wounds, and physical wounds would mitigate that a bit.
We should probably tell people that the old Overlord is too dead to care and he was kind of an asshole anyway.

I don't think shana or rose would be capable of faking it this well. shana isn't that good of a schemer from what we have seen, and rose isn't that good of an actor. though the fact that she can't remember the arguments that convinced her do make me believe that charm magic might have been a factor in her betrayal.

"Shana, I'll talk to you later. Apologize to Styx while you're at it."

>Shana: "Yes my Lord."

"Rose, come with me."

Rose follows you to another room.

"So now that we're away from Shana, is your confession true?"

"I'm not going to kill you, or even hurt you. Nor am I going to banish you. But I cannot let this pass- even if I wanted to, visibly taking no action in the face of betrayal is not acceptable for a ruler. I'm sure you understand.

"If you are to remain in my service as things stand, you must be devoted about it to the point of fanatacism, that no one can doubt your sincerity. And you must take action to visibly and publicly affirm your complete and utter loyalty to me. Do you understand why?

"Then tell me what you will do. Your memory is more complete than mine- what action can you take such that no one, even Shana, would have an excuse to think you disloyal afterward?"

Like I said before, making her swear an oath on not betraying us would be in our best interest. However, we should try to alleviate her fear or use it constructively.

If she is truthful about what she did, then her guilt is also true. Inform her that while this was an act of betrayal, there is not much we can do about the past. However, she can help us with the future and try to redeem herself to the memories of her fallen friends.

Giving us info about the people who approached her with this deal can also help. After all, they made it so she can't die and they could be a very big threat when they realize we still live. Any bit of data could help us.
>>
No. 373227 ID: af25e0

Give her a difficult task to complete to win back our favor. We could tell her to bring us a trophy from a level 7+ monster or hero (so she'll have to spend time leveling in order to even make the attempt). We can ask Meagan if there's some specific loot that would be useful.

It is indeed likely that she was under the influence of charms when she decided to betray us, but we shouldn't tell her that before she's redeemed herself.
>>
No. 373228 ID: 3947e9

I don't think an oath would be necessary. Especially if we really do turn crazy again due to merging with our other eye or whatever.

We used to be a dick, we abused our troops who mostly were extremely disloyal. She actually regretted it later unlike the 99% who are still out there and never looked back.

Tell her there's really nothing you can do. Kill her? What's the point in that if she can come back? What, will her pain bring pleasure to you? No. Tell her to face Emily and Styx with what she's done. You'll order Shana to leave her be. Any insubordination and acting without command from now on will have consequences, unless there is sufficient benefit, such as reacting to enemies moves or self-defense. If Shana goes vigilante again, I feel that we should let her know that she disrespects your authority and the chain of command.

Her initiative and discovery of this may be admirable or good, but the chain of command should still be respected without exception. You cannot have a soldier dishing out justice on your behalf without your permission. It is not leader-like.

Just get Emily and Styx to give Rose her punishments. They remember more of the attack then you did, and suffered more.

"There's a problem with that; you're absolutely terrified, and I have no way of knowing if you're saying that because it's true or because you're afraid she's going to harm you.
Your confession is worthless to me.

On a personal level? The old overlord was a jerk, and I can't imagine a worse punishment than being responsible for friends dying. Either you're innocent or you've suffered a worse punishment than I could give you.
In the future, I want you to know that you can trust me with your problems. I care.

Now, if you'll excuse me I have a very powerful girl to throw in a dungeon."

Go to Shana
"Shana, why do you keep spurning my trust?
I said I would investigate this, and you insulted my integrity by taking it into your own hands again.
I told you to not harm anybody else, and you threw my leniency in my face when I entered the barracks not an hour later to find you attacking another of my subordinates!

You got a confession, sure, but it's a worthless one! Her story changes with each telling, the details are all either missing or wrong, and she's insisting on punishment instead of further investigation!
Do you know what that means, Shana? That means she's either too terrified to hold up through questioning or you coerced a confession out of an innocent person!
Oh, make no mistake, even if the confession had been solid enough to stand up to a cursory glance it would still be worthless since fear makes people willing to say anything to get away!
This is the sort of thing you do when you want to pin the blame on somebody, not when you actually care about uncovering the truth.
If anything, all this simply makes you the biggest suspect.

I'm appalled you think so little of me, Shana. Spend tonight in the dungeon thinking of how cold it is to trust nobody."

No dammit. The fear level is how much they fear US. She's scared of us throwing her out. Think of how she's treated outside the castle.

We will punish Rose, and Shanah as well, but not for what you're accusing her of. She disobeyed a direct order in order to root out someone who had betrayed our previous incarnation. From what I can see, Rose definitely did what she said she did.

>>373236

Seven, not helping. Half of what you said to rose makes it so even though she is talking to us, in privacy, being honest, saying she is willing to be killed to make up for some of her sins to our face and you are treating it like Shana put her up to it. That doesn't comfort her, that would make her feel guiltier because we can't even believe her confession.

You want her to atone by helping us? Same here. But considering everything, we SHOULD believe her on this.

Second, you are doing the exact same thing the old overlord would do in locking Shana in the dungeon. She tried to help and was likely being honest if what Rose said was true. Putting her in jail for a crime she did not do would just make her hate Rose MORE and trust people LESS.

Not to mention that every action you are doing to Shanon is downright cruel and would just inspire fear. Just like badass overlord. You want to have her be more respectable? TREAT HER WITH SOME RESPECT FIRST. Maybe she would try to obey us then.

We really need to stop beating Shana up over every bloody thing. It does not help us at all and it's obvious it doesn't work in fixing her.

i'm honestly not sure how to deal with rose, but getting the input of those most affected would be a good idea.

we are going to have to talk to Shana after we deal with rose, if we just rebuke shana she will just get more crazy. how about something like this.
"you did well to uncover this and I should have trusted you more. however you do need to work on using less force. I know that level of violence was acceptable during my previous rein, but I am attempting a different approach this time. in the future outside of combat try and use the minimum amount of force necessary "

when she questions why we don't perma-kill/banish rose.

"because I know she truly regrets her betrayal, she remembers it as her greatest shame. she fully expects and to a degree wants to be punished harshly. she does not think she deserves mercy, so when she receives it she is going to do everything she can to prove herself worthy of it. "

if she points out the potential of future betrayal.
"that is unlikely to be an issue this time. as you know i can tell at a glance how loyal someone is to me. now that there isn't a mob of disloyal minions to blend in with, I will know if anyone even thinks of betraying me long before they could find an opportunity to do so."

I don't know how we should punish Rose right now, but it should probably be something minor like forbidding her from eating ice cream or something. She realizes what she did wrong and is openly remorseful about the deed. Now, Shana on the other hand...

Shana violated an explicit order not to harm any of our minions. As far as I'm concerned, that makes her just as guilty as Rose is, but without any of the redeeming factors. Therefore, Shana is to be confined to the castle until she is able to tell us why the person that told her Styx betrayed us lied to her. If she objects that she has no way of knowing his motive, inform her that she had given him incentive to lie, but that you won't give her any more assistance on the matter. Furthermore, she should be told that should she flagrantly disregard our orders to her again she will be banished from the castle. After all, if we can't trust her with as simple an instruction as "don't harm my minions" what else can we trust her with?

As for my reasoning behind her punishment: she wants to serve us. She's a fighter, nothing more, so if she's stuck in the castle then she won't be able to assist us in any way, which is something she will not enjoy. Really, I can't think of a more appropriate punishment than that.
>>
No. 373272 ID: f31dfc

Terrec, you seem to forget that Rose inflicted wounds on herself right? This is another example of jumping ahead and punishing Shana at the slightest 'bad' thing. Heck, why not ask Rose, who is RIGHT here, what honestly happened? For all we know, Shana may have just tried to bind her to STOP her from being hurt more.

As for your idea, I like it, but not as a punishment. We should simply have it be team work training. Trying to understand her fellow team mates and perhaps mellow out by their example. Saying it's a punishment will put everyone on edge. We don't want that.
>>
No. 373280 ID: 80b862

>>373272
Okay, looking back it looks like Shana hadn't attacked Rose until after her confession, so her disobedience wasn't quite as severe as I made it out to be. So don't give her that punishment, but still ask her to figure out why her previous source lied to her. She still needs to learn just why torturing the guy for the information was a mistake, and I rather like the idea of having her figure it out on her own. I don't see where Rose injured herself, though; her "I did my Lord" was in confession to letting our enemies in, not in harming herself.

And those punishments wouldn't put anyone on edge. Punishing our subjects for blatant disobedience like that, especially if it had endangered anyone else on our side, is standard procedure for us. The possibility of banishment was to make her not want to risk disobeying us ever again, and to protect our subjects should she continue to be a loose canon.

...You know, you're right. I'm willing to believe Shana when she said she didn't torture Rose, but let's ask her what led up to her confession to Shana anyway, just to be on the safe side.

About the first part of this... I don't think Rose herself will accept it if we don't take this seriously. Some of her friends died due to what she did. She needs to feel like she's -earned- forgiveness.

Yes, Rose needs to feel that she earned her forgiveness. We just can't willy nilly forgive an act of betrayal. It makes us look weak for one thing. It shouldn't matter that she betrayed the past us, she still betrayed us and she wants, needs and has to be punished for that.

On Shana, if she's innocent of the crime of disobeying our orders, then fine, nothing happens. But if she is guilty, then we have to punish her too. We set a precident with Alice when we took her top away. It goes something like this "You disobey my orders, you get punished." We can't just let up on that. We are an Overlord and they are our troops. We have to maintain discipline within our troops and not punishing Shana when she disobeyed our orders will destroy that discipline. We are the Boss; we should act like one.

Honestly I think that having the blood of her friends on her hands is punishment enough. That and telling our other minions the truth. We should pull the "disappointed parent" routine on her.

I don't blame her for betraying us, it is exactly what we would have done in her situation. It is arguably what we are doing at the moment; gathering personal power and deposing assholes, she was just going about it the other way around. We would probably have not been tricked like she was but not everyone can be as awesome as us. Really, her true sin is in being gullible, not for assisting in our previous destruction.

Wait what don't punish Shana. If anything, this should assure you that her loyalty isn't fake. She's proven us time and time again that she's loyal. She doesn't need punishment. IMO, we should make her hang near us and watch how we deal with stuff. Then we can tell her that if she followed our example we'd be very pleased.

I don't think we should lose a unit such as Shana. Sure, she might have some issues, but haven't we dealt with others with problems before? What about Alice, who has now calmed down and is loyal, if not very outspoken about the fact?

Besides, Shana is a Shadow Mage, and her abilities are fully usable by her, since she's willing to sacrifice Life force to use them. Furthermore, she is level 20, she is hilariously powerful in comparison to the rest of the party.

There really is nothing to lose by making sure Shana stays as loyal as she is, if not more. While her intentions are horribly misplaced sometimes, she is probably like that because we weren't so nice back then, and she probably is how she is now because of our past life's mistakes. We know that she isn't going to react violently if we act like how I said with her- Her loyalty is way too damn high for her to muster any rage at our antics, so long as we aren't abusing her.

"Rose, I hope your dedication to getting stronger is truly as important to you as you said it was, because from now on I will be putting you through the grinder. You will have to work trice as hard to regain my full trust, but I promise you, I shall make you stronger then you ever imagine you could be. Go and get some rest while you can for now."

As for Shana :

"I understand and respect your loyalty and eagerness to serve me Shana. However, there is one thing that you NEED to understand from now on. I am the Overlord, I am the master, I am the Judge and Jury, not YOU. YOU are the Executioner, the arm that carry out my will. You do not chose who your targets are, I do. Do you understand ?"

Shana worship our old self, so I think we're going to show ourselves to have a spine of steel in order to really control her.

That punishment is refreshingly creative, but seems... small. And Rose's actions from here on are still critical- she has to act in a way that displays renewed loyalty to us. Unfortunately that's a responsibility which she will have to fulfill or fail miserably at on her own, once we've told her about it.

I still think some kind of public and obvious action of devotion and submission is highly desirable. Magically bind herself to our service, tattoo her face with our mark, drink a loyalty potion, something like that. If nothing else, it would reduce future problems with Shana if we can point to it and say that the matter is closed.

Considering Rose is a lover of sweets, this is a pretty nasty punishment, but completely fitting and not overly harsh. No further punishment needed.

As for Shana, we should just tell her what we were before. She did the right thing, but she needs to limit the force she uses just in case. Perhaps inform us whenever a such a thing happens again before going all out. Maybe some communicators can help us out there? Also, maybe have her try and socialize with the others. That means just talking and such. No shadow magic or fear or intimidation, just friendly chats. You know, so she can get better used to people and hopefully lessen her Yan in her yandere.

oh i just thought of an additional benefit to not banishing rose. whoever destroyed us the first time will probably assume we don't know about her part in our fall. so they also don't know if we know about the part other demons played in our defeat. there is also a chance they might try blackmailing rose about her previous betrayal, if they do its more or less a free double agent for us. we should probably tell rose that if this group of demons tries to get her to turn against us again she should try and lead them on, and inform us as soon as possible.

>Rose: "The teleporter. They found a way to get to it from the Demon World and the Human World."

The Land of Trials sounds like a good place to get some money later. But first you go and talk to Shana.

"your loyalty is admirable, but if I kill her I tip my hand. rose was approached by a coalition of demons, not heroes. this means that a conspiracy between the heroes and demons was what led to my defeat. if they realize rose has confessed whoever was behind it will move to destroy me again at once. I still need time to rebuild my strength before i can face them. they cannot know that i even suspect that it was anything but a group of heroes who defeated me, not yet. "

And Shana is still Shana I see. Welp, it makes sense she would be mad about that. She seems to idolize us.

Anyways, let's explain to Shana our reasons calmly.

First off; If what Rose said was true, she won't die even if she's killed. It won't help anyone and it would likely demoralize our troops rather than increase their morals.

Second: The info she gave us just helped us protect a structural weak point so they can't use hat path again. With further questioning, we may get a list of names or faces of whomever planned this. We may even be able to use her as a double agent in the future.

Third: Right now we took away one of her most precious things until she proves herself worthy. To be precise, Styx did so and set the rules so they benefit us. That is one of the reasons why Loyalty works better than fear.

If you do feel like torturing her, eat a chocolate bar in front of her. It's less destructive and she will get the point to work harder.

>"She's paid for it."
She hasn't paid for shit. We gave her a wrist-slap. Admitting that won't help, though.

"I appreciate your loyalty- but what will I get out of killing Rose? A fleeting demonstration that traitors are harshly dealt with and little else. I need servants more than I need such displays. Rose will remain, and she will serve loyally under close observation. And hopefully, she will prove instrumental in helping me track down the others who were responsible for my fall, as there are no others who remain to me that can recognize them."

Do not say this. Not only will it piss Shana off, we don't really understand our prior self that well.

We deserved to die because we were trying to put some order in the demon world and to do that we had to be brutal like a demon? Do you somehow think that thousands of demons that are all free to do what they want is somehow better than them following the orders of one lawful one?
Also because of Rose we don't have our eye, you know the only thing that completes us?

"Shana killing her would do nothing. She's a demon, she'd just come right back. Not only that but because of her background it may even be possible to use her as a double agent if the same people come to her again."

>"But-!"

"And she has had one of her most precious things taken from her until further notice. Even you must admit this hurts."

>"Well yes but.."

"I appreciate how loyal you are Shana but don't worry I know how to handle my troops."

>"... Very well my Lord. But I will be keeping my eye on her as well."

"Shana.."

>"I will not hurt her."

"Good."

She gives a curtsy and leaves. You pull out your partially ruined map.

There are still many things you must do. Where will you go next?

You have Styx fill out the rest of your map.

The Cave of Memories? Interesting. Apparently she's never been there herself but it seems to be a place where all warriors go to battle strong opponents. Similar to the Land of Trial but much more difficult and with greater prizes.. Perhaps this place merits a visit?
Or shall you just stick with your original plan and go to The Land of Trials?

Let's go there. I want to find out if we had a reason to burn that section of the map.

And if we can get a quick word in with Styx, ask her if she put a charm enchantment on your face.

Let's stick with the Land of Trial for now. If it's not hard enough for us, we can try the Cave of Memories.

Skipping a challenge level to try a harder challenge level just seems foolhardy.

We should do whichever gives us a better reward in terms of training our troops, if that place is good for our level mostly 5 team then sure. On the other hand if the only one who stands a chance there is Shana then forget it. Ask Styx about the place.

Land of Trials is it. But before you go..

"Styx"

>"Yes my Lord?"

You take your mask off.

"Did you Charm my face?"

>"Actually yes my Lord. I figured it would help you talk with people better. It changes your appearance to what the viewer most prefers and makes them easier to talk to. That was the point of it right?"

"I suppose.. But it also may be distracting. You need to work on a way for me to lessen the effect."

>"I will my Lord."

"Also, you're not affected?"

>"I have a lot of self control my Lord."

"Tell me, what do you see?"

What? No.
One more person in the harem is one more person sad when we choose somebody. Meanwhile, leaving Styx out of the harem means one less sad person in the harem as they eventually are seduced by go to Styx instead.

Plus, she's like our main adviser, and it's good for the main adviser person to be able to be able to give us opinions that aren't biased towards us personally, instead focusing on the larger picture.

Anyway, onward to the Trials!
