yet another twist of the blade.
Wracked by deceit, as his friends turn their backs to him. Destiny, holy swords, end of times...
But first the demon castle, Arimasho~!

Tune in for another episode of what I am almost certain is the sixth chapter of...

>eyes stare up at the moon amongst the sterling stars... The night sky, equally symbolic for one another, but in ways worlds apart...

Trixy - It's just so hard sometimes... All the time...

Tokoshoran - Just keep working on it, you'll get it one day.

Trixy - but no matter how much I try... everyone just ends up hating me...

Tokoshoran - people can be tough. Sometimes you just gotta give em space, sometimes you gotta act to please and sometimes you just gotta be yourself. it's not an exact science... trust me, you'll get it sooner or later~

Trixy - I hope you're right... *sigh* I can bend the laws of the universe to my will but I can't keep people from hating me...

Tokoshoran - Keep trying and-

Trixy - I'll get it soon enough... yes, I know... I know... I try.

Tokoshoran - That's the spirit.

Trixy - you're gonna leave aren't you?

Tokoshoran - unfortunately... I'd love to stare at the stars with you some more, but I've got places to go, people need me.

Trixy - Don't let me stop you...

Tokoshoran - I hope you find that friend of yours~

Trixy - thanks, I hope we meet again someday.

Tokoshoran - I'd like that.

[Help her get herself back into shape]
"It's ok; she's an old friend, and was in dire need of help. Still is, in fact, but we made a lot of progress.

Does anybody know of any arcane universities? We need to find a master magic researcher; not knowing much about magic is causing too many major problems for us."

Assist where we can, but don't force her too much. She'll need to do this without our influence before long.

As for our friends, "Long story short, we calmed her down and brought her back to her senses. She's got a unique ability that went haywire due to a lot of bad circumstances. She's fine now, but give her some time and some room to recover."

A "spiritual" hand offered sounds good. Like when a kid is learning to rollerblade, and a parent places a hand gently on their shoulder. It'll stop them from falling down, but it otherwise does not push or hold them up. I hope that's possible in spirit.

To Ean: Can you hear us now? We are still here. This lady is a friend. Do not harm her further, please. Her mind was lost to madness, but we have healed it. Now, only her body is wounded. She is strong, Ean, and would put up a fight if we tried to take control, but so long as you are friendly to her, she should be friendly in return. She does not bear ill intentions, though her powers have scared off anybody she wished to be friends with in the past. Look past the powers and see her for who she really is: A kind Kobold who wants the attention of friends.

To Trixie: These friends fought only because your madness drove your body to become a monster, both in form and action. With a message to them that you are friendly now, they should in turn be friendly as well. They may even attempt to give you a hand, but if you feel that you only need our presence, then let them know that you are already getting a hand from us. Whether or not you wish to apologize is up to you--it may help ease into becoming friends, but only if it is genuine, a false apology will only raise tensions.

Trixy - *There's a large temple of mages and scholars in Gulliesburg, on the southern fringe of the continent. It's the worlds capital of magic and arcane studies. I was proposed to become a teacher last time I was there, but refused seeing as looking for you was my one and only desire~*

Gatling - These friends fought only because your madness drove your body to become a monster, both in form and action...

Trixy - *I was a monster, I don't blame them for their actions. Still I don't feel ready to apologize, surely there will be a time and a place, but for now my pride wont allow it.*

Gatling - Can you hear us now? We are still here. This lady is a friend. Do not harm her further, please. Her mind was lost to madness, but we have healed it...

Ean - I understand, If she is a friend of yours, she is a friend of mine. But with all due respect, there is something eerie about your friend, I don't feel safe around her. Perhaps it's the horrid shape she had not five minutes ago? ... I hope you don't mind friend, but could you keep Gatling in you for a while longer? Just in case you know.

Trixy - *giggles* I don't mind at all~ In fact I would love to keep my beloved Gatling, deep inside me~

>She pulls you from her belly and the wound heals up quickly.

Trixy - I'd need to make a good place for you so I don't hurt myself though, where would you like to be? near to my heart, or somewhere a little more private~?

Allana - Eum... the quest Concu gave us spoke of caravans full of goods and an idol? Do you know where they might be?

Trixy - ah yes, I may of stashed them in a cave... over ... there... I think... you're welcome to what ever my maddened form has stolen, AH! I've failed to introduce myself, I am Trixy the great and powerful~!

>She flurishes her hand about but only produces sparks...

Trixy - eh... little rusty, hold on... Stop staring!

>She tries a few more times, making sparks with her fingers, before a small flame ignites.

Trixy - Ahem... Trixy! the great and powerful!!

>With a twist of her paw a great flaming bird sprouts forth and bursts into harmless cinders amiss the leaves.

Oh, uh, right. Ean kinda landed a miraculous display of pyromancy which defeated you in one solid blow. At least the others should still find your display impressive!

You doing alright there, Alanna? You look a little, uh, befuddled. Something on your mind, or were you that impressed and surprised at Trixy's display?

And how about you two, Shenzi and Liver? Apparently if I don't focus on you guys I won't see you...

>You doing alright there, Alanna? You look a little, uh, befuddled.
Alanna - Just trying to remember the specifics of the quest.

>And how about you two, Shenzi and Liver?

Shen - she looks really cool! and she reminds me of Moma.

Liver - As long as she doesn't turn back into a monster, I have no opinion one way or another.

>Apparently if I don't focus on you guys I won't see you...

You have absolutely no peripherals. Because I'm lazy...

>You follow Trixy to the cave where her maddened self stashed all her goods. within the shallow cave you find several carts, most broken or burned. they contain various goods, though almost all is past value. Cloth and papers are ripped and chared, food and goods are spoiled or crushed. There are a dozen corpses littering the place, their bodies are molded and burned, mangled beyond recognition and hacked to pieces. Trixy looks disappointed as she mulls over the location.

The team scavenges the cave and finds all the salvageable goods.

- 85 copper coins
- 30 silver coins
- 8 gold coins
- 3, 30 pound rolls of green cotton fabric
- 2 longswords
- 1 longbow

You find a ring, it is formed of three rings interlaced, they are form a solid ring. One is made of polished coral, the other of gold and the last of rusted iron... Ean informs you that most magical rings are made by Gnomes as they posses the secrets to their creation. thus a small person could wear it as a common ring, but a human could wear one on his toes.

Ring of bloodied pleasure: The wearer becomes immune to pain and bleeds less profusely. Furthermore, the sight of blood excites and contact to blood fills the subject with euphoria.

>It's not that I can do better it's just... why?
Interestingly, the name "Trixy" reminds me of a stage magician. Fancy showmanship and all that. She definitely has a much stronger soul than anybody else, but perhaps destiny made her dwell in showmanship over only using power when it's needed?
...That, and making sure she's got a handle on her power again is probably a good thing. You saw how it failed to manifest at first. What if she had been in an actual battle? She could have gotten hurt by her powers refusing to work!
But, yeah, I suppose you're right, using that as an excuse to show off is a bit stage magician-y. For now, all we can do is let her be. If she enjoys it, she enjoys it, so why not~
>Spear of the covetous snake: team finds +10% more currency.
Blatantly ignoring constant universal mass, ahoy! Oh well, it's magic. Don't gotta follow the rules of science
"Finds," at least the laws of the universe were smart enough to not leave it abusable. Purposefully lost money wouldn't work.

the iron and copper will make a easy sell to the blacksmith if we get him out of his funk and find him some star-metal. coin is always welcome and better weapons will help the party members fight. Also the tiara of bees will make for funny combat distractions. I'm concerned about the Ring of bloodied pleasure, we should not let anyone wear it unless they are severely hurt, as if you cant feel pain then you might not find a wound and it can get infected. along with the fact that it seems like a item a torturer might use.

Ean - *I suppose, but still... if your personality is an act, you're little more than a pile of lies.*

Ean - Gods wood is a very rare material, it's pretty good quality too.

Alanna - I've heard of the god ores, but I don't know anything else then their names...

Ean - I can tell you all about Them, I've meet ends with every type of ore, out in the wastes. The three gods ores are: god's wood, god's iron and god's steel. God's wood is not actually wood, but apparently it's make from tree's, hence the name. it is black and has a stretchy squishy texture, whilst still being very durable, it's much harder and resilient than common leather that's for sure... God's Iron is a white metal, it's texture is strange and like nothing else... I guess it's a bit like wood, only harder than iron and bronze, yet melable and light... God's steel is the true god's metal, in it's native form, god's steel is invisible. It's harder than anything, even mythreal chips and breaks against it... It cannot be forged, only the great old ones knew how to make it, we can only melt it down to make god's iron from it, which is a terrible waste in truth...

Liver - I've heard tales of a golem, made of it. it wanders in the blight looking for it's master~

Ttrixy - *no one's paying attention to me...*

Alanna - I found the statue!

Ean - good job Alanna! let's take a look at this... hhmnn... aahh good example! it's made of god's iron... Let's see... Made in Sengoku, 1277. Wow this thing must be at least 900 years old.

Shenzy - what god is that?

Ean - It's a dead god, been dead for thousands of years probably.

>Ean hides the idol in the bottom of the goods.

Ean - this thing is really hot, if the ecclesiarcy catches any of us with this, well all be burned at the stake... I wonder why Concu needs it so badly?

Alanna - Yeah? she seems really nice. Why would she want anything like that?

Ean - Oh well, it's not my place to judge. Any thing before we go?

The carts look to be in working order, they just don't have anything to pull them.
Shenzi, would you mind seeing how hard it is to pull a cart full of the stuff? I believe you're the strongest person in our group, so if it's only hard for you to pull, then we can handle it by splitting the supplies up and having several people pulling, but if it seems outright impossible, we might just have to leave something behind.

Ean - is it? I don't know much of the dead gods. All I know is that they predate current history and that they don't have any influence anymore. But hey if it looks familiar to you, maybe you predate history as well?

>>591203
>maybe you could help Alaranna out a bit with her magic?

Trixy - Sorry master, I can't help her. I'm a Mage and she's a Sorceress, we're from two entirely different worlds. My magic is rational chanting and marking of sigils, her magic is random and incoherent with fluent spellcasting. My magic comes from years of study and understanding the realities of ethereal and sub ethereal elements, her's comes from descendants who came in contact with the Hamadraya, demons, angels, fey or elemental beings. To put it into perspective... Imagine a lunatic and a genius speaking to each other, they may sound the same, but they are nothing alike.

Let's get Alanna's levels out of the way first, since level one mages are rather complex... First you'll need to chose a domain for her to major in. This Will determine her influence on the magic arts.

-prime domain-

Light or sometimes known as good. a light sorceress can not only produce light in the darkest nights but also bring fear to the injust and burn doubt and deamons alike. a Angels gathers mana by bathing in daylight and assisting good deeds.

Darkness, also known as Evil. Quite the opposite, darkness covers the light, bathing in somber and vile. Capable of turning a persons soul to chaos and hiding in midday shadows. demons feeds on darkness and cruelty to fuel her mana

-eternity-

Life is not specifically the opposite of death. life is also known as time, it's the reality from which one passes from beginnings to ends. Cappable of slowing down a process to better enjoy it or expediate it to get to better things, a eternals feeds on the duration of things, A strange concept that few can capture.

Death is not only the end of life but things, realities and even concepts. a destroyer can see an end to anything and fuels of such destruction. Assisting the fall of great walls and great empires to meet their ends.

Creation is the beginning of things, Birth, foundation and even the last stroke of a quill. a creationist can mend wounds and construct monuments as she sees fit and nourishes her mana from these acts of actualisations.

-emotions-

Hate, is a bloody type of mana, capable of spurning not only yourself but others to anger and death. Strength and vigor, but also madness comes from the berserkers spells. and they are fueled by the wrath they sow.

Love is well known, capable of causing other to throw them-self to strangers as though soul mates and stop a raging monster in it's tracks for but a rub of the belly. Lovers gather mana from such acts, be it tender embraces or acts of luscious passion~

Greed is what spurs us all towards our goals, a hoarder can attain what ever she desires, even is she does not know what that is. capable of wrenching something from anothers hands and holding on without par. Hoarders are unique in that their mana regenerates within their own soul, fueled by their own selfish desires.

-elemental

Fire magic is the consuming heat, a piromancer engulfs all in it's warm embrace. bellowing flames and destruction as needed or desired, seeing as piromancers generate mana from fire, it is not uncommon to see some more... scared than others... That is the price to pay for Power unparalleled.

Earth magic, consists of rapid and rugged shaping of earth and metals. capable of bending plains into crevices and shaping mountains into monuments, the Terraformer gains power from the earth.

water magic is simple and elegant, claiming domain over all the forms of water, the aquamancer is as lethal as its fiery counterpart, and without the nasty side effects.

Wind magic is not to be scoffed at. although perhaps a less impressive than the visible magics, with wind, it's all a matter of amounts. just be sure you have enough mana. A Gustomancer wont be lacking in moving air anytime soon, but be sure to have a big soul.

Energy is a more complex element. Contestably more powerful than fire and water combined, energy is rarely harness and although theoretically possible, it's considered unwise to major in such an element.

>Choose and element for Alanna to major in, this will determine her prime element and her basic spells as well as her opposed elements and the spells she will have difficulty mastering...

Ean: Attention crazed? Yes. A liar? We'll see. An archmage is somebody who is capable of many forms of magic, by my understanding. She is capable of fire, runes, and shape-shifting, so it is certainly plausible. Is the definition you know different than that?
Understand, even if a person speaks a falsity, it does not mean they know it to be one. She believes it to be true, so does it really count as a lie? For the time being, just assume she uses a different definition of it than you.

Hrrm.
Ean's got the fire covered, though if we were to send Alanna in that direction, she'd definately have plenty of power for that. Then again, there's also us, now, which could turn into a bit of overspecialization.
Light, we have...Ronald, the Holy Diver, but beyond that...No specific things.
Trixy I think we should consider to do everything and anything until further notice.
As much as I like the thought of going Wind, I figure if anything it's a poor choice-with the loss of the 'soul in the arms' I suspect she'll be somewhat shortchanged in the soul department. I think.
Her first spell was Love, and it'd be kind of convienent for her to pick that and build off the charmed Concu...Or use it to remove the charm so that she's restored to normal.
So musings can be summerized as thus:
Fire:Lots of help, but also redundant.
Light:Less redundant, but still somewhat so.
Wind: Bad idea due to loss of arms.
Love: Interacts with Concu, should probably take. (Note: Don't pick opposing element.)

Ean, she's spent longer than most people could bear trapped in a form not of her choice physically, and trapped in her own mind. She's been free of these two problems for less than half a day, and she's already using intermediate magic.

She might not measure up to the arch-mage myth, but the potency and versatility of her magic will become apparent.

Ean: She's pretty good at magic. Have you heard of an adventuring party without a mage to back them up? Alanna doesn't count yet, she really can't cast anything useful.
Also, from what we, let's say, observed while stuck in her she seems like she has what it takes to be a powerful mage.
>>
No. 592407 ID: d8a627

Furthering talk to Ean... She might not actually be an official archmage, but even so, she's a powerful multi-class mage. Probably studying to become an archmage or something. She was actually our master at one point, did you know? She met us before and called us master, then we were reborn and she was our wielder, and then she met us yet again while we were in service to another man. Or maybe we just ate that man's soul, I don't know. We didn't see ourselves during that memory, just the man and her.
She can be a bit obsessed, but her heart is in the right place, and she wants to be able to help others, since that is the way to be with others. Yes, she loves attention, but wouldn't you, if you were alone for decades? Don't let us force you into showing compassion where you feel it us unwarrented, but at least show enough willingness to talk to her. If you feel she is going overboard, speak up. Let her know. If she went this long without learning how to be proper, she's not going to learn without being told. I should know, I'm the same way.

Why not creation magic for her? Healing, mending, crafting, all these sort of things would be handy if we are building a kingdom. Not only that, but we could possibly create limbs. Not honest to good ones or ones that are similiar, but hopefully ones that can help her do the things she wants.

Besides, too much of one thing can always be dangerous and I don't think we really have a dedicated healer.

Alanna begins her mastery in the arts of love.
Loves opposed elements are: Greed, Hate and Death. Casting these spells will be hard.
Loves sister elements are: life and creation. Alanna will easily gain spells for those elements.
Lover's Advanced elements are: Love and life making family... Love and creation making lust... and other secret elements... Advanced domains are rare and require advanced classes to wield.

Lovers have a passive 5% increase to charisma and fellowship. They are unusually radiant and charming.

Alanna gains two minor love spells...

>Minor charm [gaze effect - Subject becomes enamored by the caster and will not attack her, a successful charisma check can push the subject to her will. - Mana cost (1 love) (1 converted)]

>Mother's kiss [touch effect - The caster kisses an open wound to make it better, subject is no longer bleeding and the wound is no longer painful. Subject is however, not immune to pain. - Mana cost (1 love)]

converted mana means that any non opposed element can be used.

Alanna is now level 2

Could we spend this perk to start researching how to non-destructively append Trixie to Gatling, such that it becomes impossible for Gatling to ever abandon Trixie even if it loses its memory and winds up missing?

There wouldn't be any mechanical advantage (yet), but it would make sense from a thematic and storytelling perspective; it looks like a major theme is going to be Gatling trying to atone for things it has done and fix people and things it ruined in past lives.

I guess eventually this perk line could develop so Trixie's body also counts as Gatling's body, which would allow for nifty combo abilities. (ie: Trixie shapeshifts to have prehensile thorn-vines and grabs people, her thorns pierce their skin, which since she counts as Gatling's body means they have Gatling piercing them and we can assume control.)

If that's not a valid choice, then greater telepathy.
