Aldwin has arrived at the guild hall. He'd spent the rest of the day yesterday trying to fix the windmill, with limited success. After a night's rest and a kiss goodbye, you left early, and made good time - it is now almost noon.

It looks like construction has already begun on the new hall. They seem to be making good progress.

ask cultist if she knows where to find a Djinn

>Dorf Quest XXIX
>XXIX

Do people even care anymore..?

Aldwin enters the guild hall!

There seem to be a few assassins discussing... something... in the main hall. Aldwin recognizes the two whose faces he can see - Mace, the elf who teaches CQC, and Nana, the priestess of Poseidon. Her mutations are a result of a bad run-in with an enemy priest of Xom - a real tragedy, as Aldwin heard she used to be so beautiful.

Fuck yes, Dorf Quest time.

>>4118032

Manage shit

>>4118042
Aldwin approaches to say hi t

>>4118046

Finlay? You're looking... um... good?

>>4118029
that's correct lettering for 29.

>>4118050

He's been through a lot, let him have his hat back to cover up

Aldwin woke up. His scream also woke up Cultist.

>>4118069

THANK GOD


...wait, that would have been kind of cool.

>>4118069

Aw, horror finlay looked awesome too...

>>4118069
ok now you should ask cultist where one could find a djinn, also im guessing since cultist was asleep it's still night?

>>4118069

We need to get Cultist a bigger bed, she looks damn cramped on that thing.

>>4118070
XD you tell 'em bro

Speaking of Finlay, let's find his corpse and res him.

In a straitjacket.

Cultist asks if you are okay!

>>4118154

Tell her about your nightmare, and wonder if you are having guilt pangs for kinda sorta leading to Finlay's death when he was framed.

>>4118154

Whats that frilly thing.

OH FUCK ZOMBIE BITE.

>>4118154
see if she wants anal.

>>4118050
Go back to sleep, dream of this again, then tell Finlay "NO, FUCK YOU" and punch him in the nose to establish Dream-Superiority.

Then ride him like a mechanical bull.

>>4118168
>>4118154
He was still evil, that's why the attack killed him to begin with
We should plan out how we are going to rule the guild

>>4118168
Awww, poor Aldie. She asks if she can do anything to make you feel better...

>>4118170
Its a sunflower. When Aldwin had an acid burn, Cultist's Xom's Touch healed the wound... by transforming it into a sunflower.

>>4118198

Gnome, are you trying to have us ask for a sex scene?

>>4118198
HOT DICKING

>>4118198
Pic related.

>>4118209
>>4118210
Both!
Together!

>>4118208
No I would never do that.

Lily bursts in. "I HEARD A CRASH IS EVERY- oh. Umm... sorry."

>>4118210
Aldwin proposes pancakes, to break the awkward.

>>4118235
Xom is amused.

>>4118243
LIVING UP TO HER FUCKING LAST NAME AS USUAL

>>4118243
It's amazing we got Cultist pregnant, let alone did her at all

>>4118198
A sunflower? DAAAWWW!

>>4118262
Well it was off screen, Roosterhalt could not hear us fapping.

>>4118256
of course, she can read these threads, and her rage is powered by ours. If she makes us rage, it makes her stronger.

Get up and throw blanket over lily to confuse her.

>>4118243

So, artistic oversight, or has Lily stopped mourning?

Yes, I am nitpicking and it's not that important.

>>4118243
Yeah and what happened to the panels that were covering up the big hole?

>>4118299

They can't mourn forever.

After a delicious pancake breakfast, Aldwin gets an early start off to the Assassin's Guild. He's got some big responsibilities ahead of him!

>>4118256
>>4118262
Sure is a mistery, huh?

>>4118299
Nah, she was in her PJs. ie; her underwear, considering the times.

>>4118329

Go to guild.

Fix stuff!

>>4118329

We don't want to try and reign in an assassin's guild with that face. Put on your best attempt as a Badass Face so that you aren't laughed out of office.

Run back and give cultist another peck.

>>4118341
>>4118344
not in this order

>>4118317
They got it nicely refurbished.

>>4118341
Badass face attempted!

Uhm. Shouldn't they hire someone to fix the windmill sooner or later?

>>4118362

lol oh, wow. Turn back with a pose to see if the girls approve.

>>4118362

Uhm. I think we need to work on that. To the guild! I am sure there are teachers willing to teach the badass face there!

>>4118362
Lets try and narrow our eyes more

>>4118385
>>4118376
Aldwin tries again!

>>4118394
quickly turn around to see who's behind you!

>>4118394

Hello, partially mouse-eaten elf-thing?

>>4118394
Turn about! Present your new and terrifying badass face.

Direct your BADASS GLARE at the person behind you!

>>4118394
ah, Aldwin, look behind you.

Inb4 'there's nothing there'

Get out of the way!

>>4118407
>>4118410
BADASS GLARE redirected!

The PLAGUE ZOMBIE is uneffected!

>>4118441
Leap back! Throw top monster card!

>>4118441

Jump back!

Attempt to communicate.

If hostile,

Kill.

>>4118441
>ZOMBIE
OHFUCKOHFUCK

>>4118441

Use monster card, also face is greatly improved

>>4118454
>>4118456
Aldwin leaps back in time to avoid a grab! The zombie uses PLAGUE TECH: MICE ARMOR!

Shit. Draw monster card.

>>4118495
Mice? Lets see if we can summon a snake then

>>4118495

Invoke Monster Card: Pied Piper

>>4118503
>>4118473
>>4118454
Aldwin summons a couple monsters! TOP TWO CARDS DRAWN!

The Phantom and the Repulsive appear!

>>4118495

Hostile.

THROW VIAL AT ZOMBIE!

It'll probably kill it.

What can possibly go wrong with that?

>>4118523
The repulsive is obviously interested. See if you can hook her up with plague Zombie.

Use cloak of obscurity and leave it to the monsters

A dagger probably won't hurt this zombie too much, and will require aldwin to get too close to use it. I vote to run along to the guild, and bypass the zombie.

Then maybe get a proper weapon.

>>4118523

THROW VIAL AT ZOMBIE!

What can possibly go wrong?

Oh, and have the monsters attack.

>>4118542
>>4118530
Bad idea, we want to stat to make sure the monsters don't do anymore than fuck up the zombie.

>>4118528
The hearts represent the obedience of a summoned creature. The Phantom's heart has been broken, however - it attacks Aldwin!

>>4118542

Hurr, I forgot the cards. Well, they can handle the zombie, while we run along.

>>4118568
crap, befriend it!

>>4118568
No repulsive on Zombie romance with phantom watching depressed from a distance? I'm sort of disappointed.

>>4118568
Oh shit, tumble out of the way, pray to nemlex for assistance

>>4118568

Session Power, befriend it.

Befriend it. Running away is a poor idea, we don't want anymore Georges running about. We gotta tie ends in this game.

>>4118578
Aldwin uses nearly-forgotten session power: Make a Friend! The Phantom stops its assault.

>>4118614
Well hot damn. How goes the zombie?

>>4118614

Are our session powers Heart of the Cards AND Make a Friend, or Heart of the Cards OR Make a Friend?

>>4118614

Now both of the monsters, Kill the zombie!

>>4118618
It seems to be going well for the zombie.

>>4118622
You have both powers separately.

Man is there anyway of telling the obedience level of a monster before you summon it?

>>4118655
Had no idea zombies bled. Send in the Phantom to finish him off. Try not to catch plague

Phantom attack it! Meanwhile sneakily sneak behind it and stab it in the head. With your real dagger.

>>4118665

Thats not the zombie bleeding, it's our summon.

>>4118677
Shit. That may be a problem

>>4118659
No.

>>4118665
that isn't the zombie bleeding. The Repulsive's head was ripped off. It vanishes with a pained screech.

>>4118668
Flanking achieved! It is immune to sneak attack damage however.

>>4118709
Shit. We need something to re-kill undead. Where's Beardbeard when you need him...
Oh well, try drawing another card.

>>4118709
Make the phantom grapple with it and start stabbing away at the head. If that doesn't work cut it off.

>>4118709
what exactly is the AC of plague mice?

>>4118709

What are the top two cards of our decks?

>>4118733
The phantom grapples the verminous being!

Its MICE ARMOR peels off and pushes the phantom away!

>>4118776
Unknown at this point. You have to spend time to determine the top two cards, and the current top two are in combat already.

Oh its that top fucking mouse in the head! Grab it and squeeze!

>>4118786

Stab the rat in the zombie's head! It must be controlling the zombie.

>>4118786

No way is something that powerful just attack us out of the blue. it is probably SUMMONED, maybe we could MAKE A FRIEND.

>>4118793
>>4118800
Control mouse defeated!

You have ensured your summons' deaths were not in vain! The plague zombie has been defeated.

>>4118800
This! Not
>>4118793
We don't want to get infected

>>4118818
Make friend.

Go to Assassin's Guild and have some people scout the area to find out why a zombie showed up in the middle of nowhere.

>>4118827
The Phantom vanishes, its wounds too plentiful. The Zombie is now dead. Again. For real. Also that is a session power and has already been used.

>>4118854
>>4118818
And then go home to get cultist and Lily so we can take them to the guild and set up a proper guard

Proceed to Assassin's Guild to inquire about rodent-controlled corpses.

>>4118866
>Also that is a session power and has already been used.

Making a friend is NOT a session power! It's not something you could only use once a day or something! That's silly.

>>4118854
Aldwin heads to the guild hall!

It looks like construction has already begun on the new hall. They seem to be making good progress.

>>4118875
Converting a summon is a session power, but I see what you were getting at now.

>>4118875

It's a special ability that makes a summoned critter friendly.

>>4118895
You head in to inquire about plague rats!

There seem to be a few assassins discussing... something... in the main hall. Aldwin recognizes the two whose faces he can see - Mace, the elf who teaches CQC, and Nana, the priestess of Poseidon. Her mutations are a result of a bad run-in with an enemy priest of Xom - a real tragedy, as Aldwin heard she used to be so beautiful.

>>4118899
OH GOD, BRACE FOR IMPACT

next time make a friend is up we should summon a monster to be a bodyguard.

>>4118899
This... looks familiar. Try to not freak out, regardless.

>>4118899
DON'T GIVE FINLAY HIS HAT

>>4118899

Ohshit.

Don't come near.

Hail Mace and Nana and gesture them to come near you. Screw prophetic dreams. We're doing this differently.

>>4118899
Might cultist be able to do something about those mutations? Besides replace them with different, equally bad mutations.

Aldwin breathes an audible sigh of relief to discover it is only Thod, the orc chef who feeds the guild.

>>4118926
YUMMY! Ask him what's for breakfast.

>>4118926

Greet them. Tell them about your recent plague zombie experience.

>>4118899

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Is your mean face on? Establish that you are the boss now! GODBOSS!

>>4118980
But do it nicely. You'll want to have every friend you can get.

>>4118980
>>4118986

Meh. Nevada is THE BOSS, right now. We're a lackey.

>>4118951
>Ask about plague zombies!

Nana explains that they are a natural predator of this particular forest! Only 1 in a hundred of the mice are capable of commandeering a corpse - that mouse is called a Puppeteer Plague Mouse. Other plague mice aid the Puppeteer, but are otherwise normal mice. They aren't very common, but they are the main reason corpses in this area need to be cremated.

>>4118996
Thank politely. Ask if there's anything else you should know as the guild boss.

>>4118996

Ask how the rebuilding efforts are going and an update on the membership

>>4118996
Is there a source of these puppeteer plague mice?

Also does the guild have any jobs at this moment?

>>4119007
>Is there a source of these puppeteer plague mice?

Let's not have another quest. We already have three. Three VERY IMPORTANT ones.

>>4118996

"Meh. Nothing so strange about it then. Just killed one. Shit was so cash. Say, was Finlay's corpse cremated?"

Also, ask about recent guild activities.

>>4118980
>>4118986
>>4118993
>So, Nevada says I am the new boss now!

They find this hilarious.

>>4119023

SRS BISNS Face them

>>4119023
Laugh along with them. You can see why they think it's so funny.

Then tell them that they can ask Nevada about this when she gets back. She won't be pleased if she hears they haven't been obeying her orders - that is to say, obey you.

Ask about Finlay. Yeah, he's kind of a dick, but it would be good to see if he's DEAD, at least.

>>4119036
This

Tell them that Nevada is on a SERIOUS quest and you mean business.

>>4119036
The 4 of you share a good laugh. Aldwin decides he will force the issue later, when it matters - for the moment, some general questions should be fine.

>>4119021
>Say, was Finlay's corpse cremated?

...they quiet down considerably. Nana eventually replies "...he's dead?"

No one besides you and Goldmoon and Cultist had witnessed his death, you realize - and apparently his body was never found.

>>4119023

Laugh with them. Aldwin is a pretty nice and swell guy. No need to push the point if they don't believe it. Just ask about things that need to be done and volunteer to help.

Ask about Finlay's corpse. Fucker needs to STAY DEAD.

>>4119048
Just DEAD, not a WALKING one.

>>4119068
OH GOD could the zombie we just fought be him?

>>4119068
OHSHI-

Inquire about any general guild stuff. Then, if there's nothing to stop you, ask about genies to get Goldmoon back.

And if there's still time, ask about baby stuff. Surely at least one of them has kids? Could he or she give you some tips and heads-up of what's to come?

>>4119076
nah, that looked pretty elfy, what with the ears and all

>>4119068

"Yes. Sadly, he perished while making an attempt at our great leader Goldmoon's life. I have no idea why he will do such a thing. Regardless, I think I'll miss him a little bit."

>>4119076
Don't be silly, that was an elf

>>4119079
>Mutated
>Creepy Elf
>Orc
Me thinks you might be a bit wrong there bucko

>>4119068
>>4119084

"Also, the body seemed to be never found. We all know what that means. We should be on guard as to when and how he might come back."

>>4119076

no the zombie was clearly an elf

>>4119095

Wait a second... that elf was missing half its head...

THAT WAS THE FUCKING ELF BEARDBEARD CUT WITH THE DOOR!

>>4119091
The mother of your child is an orc! Surely you jest!

>>4119104
>The mother of Aldwin's child is an orc! Surely you jest!

I assume you mean this.

>>4119104
Also...league of assassins, kinda hard to see them settling down

>>4119107
It could be an accident. The case with Aldwin and Cultist was one.

>>4119079
>Ask about baby stuff!
Yeah, not doing this one. Aldwin knows about Thod's problems with his ex-wife, and its a nono discussing babies in front of Nana, after what happened... She was mutated while pregnant, and well... bad end for the baby. And Mace never talks.

>>4119084
>Break the news of his death

...They seem to have seen it coming.

>>4119102
..Great. Compile a list of everyone we killed who may not have had their body destroyed.

>>4119115
>She was mutated while pregnant, and well... bad end for the baby.

Ouch.

Ask them what all the other members are doing.

>>4119115
Oh well. Ask about general guild stuff then, and Djinns afterwards.

>>4119115

Assassins Guild is so totally blase about death. Damned expected and awesome. Kekeke. Right. Genie time. We should get that done at least. And warn about possible Zombie Finlay. Body never found, etc.

>>4119139

....wut?

>>4119115
>Drama.

Did you have all this written down already, or are you just improvising as we go on?

>>4119148

Finlay was never found. Probably means he's coming back. Plus, we have his hat. He's coming to get us. Oh yeah. Ask about vials. We should have that checked.

How bout them bears?

Ask why the local bear population hasn't been doing there part to keep the zombie menace down.

Wait, what if Zombie Finley pays a visit to the windmill?

...Well, Cultist is probably stronger than him anyway.

>>4119165
If Finlay is a zombie he's probably just a suit for a pissed off mouse, so I'm not sure he'd hold a grudge. It's probably safe.

>>4119165

We told her about the nightmare. She can handle it. I think. Maybe I'm getting a bit paranoid..

Anyway...what are our duties now?

>>4119190

Djinn and Guild Stuff. Easy enough.

>>4119152
I live on Indy Ploys. Hell these three didn't have names until post 3.

>>4119137
>So how's the guild?

Thod replies "Ach, hyanno. Hwee're rebuildin', ahhnd that's goinhhg hwell. Ahhbout hhhalf ahf ahhs inside the building hwere injured, but ohnly a fhew died."

>>4119237
OH GOD MAKE IT STOP

>>4119237
Ask what our operational strength is, and what unfilled assignments are left

>>4119251
Mace asks you to follow him to the paperwork room - Goldmoon's Office.

>>4119306
Lets get to managing! Also, ask if he knows were we can locate a djinn

>>4119237
Is.... that a beardless dorf?

>>4119326
No, it's an orc.

>>4119306
Follow him. Let's do some motherfucking PAPERWORK.

Couldn't you have Cultist and Lily come here and make themselves useful?

>>4119326
Just an orc midget.

>>4119317
>>4119344
TO THE PAPERWORK ZONE, ka-da-ching.

>>4119344
This, depending on how long the journey is. I mean, we've got this great suburban family thing going on, but if the commute's a real killer it might be easier to get a place closer to the job, you know.

>>4119344
silly! if he did that then there would be less chances for juicy story plots concerning them!

>>4119359
FLYYYY INTOOO THE PAPAH ZONE!

>>4119359
How long till we level in collate? How 'bout Session Power: File in Triplicate?

>>4119359
SPIN DASH

>>4119366
>>4119374
PAPERWORK IS BORING.

Control has switched to Cultist! The carrots are coming in nicely.

>>4119431

Feel gripping need to eat strange combinations of food

>>4119431
Mmmm, Xarrots. The eyes are the best part.

>>4119431
We need to put up a fence around that patch, or rabbits will eat everything!

>>4119431
AWWWW YEAH GARDENING IN THIS MUTHER FUCKER!

Cast a xom spell on one of the carrots!

>>4119431
Looks yummy.

Look around for plot events.

Pull out a carrot, cut it and heal it with Xom's touch to see what happens.

Wait a second, I feel like I should recognize Nana's mod-

OH FUCK

And Mado has two pigtails, slanty eyes, and wields a kni-

DOUBLE FUCK

>>4119456
Hey, whats wrong with a few hours of chores? These things need to be done to keep the household running you know.

>>4119431
Check for signs of pests and parasites.

New to /tg/. Refreshed expecting to see suggestions for sexual uses of carrots.

>Feel gripping need to eat strange combinations of food
>We need to put up a fence around that patch, or rabbits will eat everything!
>AWWWW YEAH GARDENING IN THIS MUTHER FUCKER!

...I think I love this place.

WOOO! Paper Work and Gardening Quest.

What seeds do we have in inventory? Or do we just enchant the ground and see what Xom wills to grow?

>>4119450

So, anyone up for some Bunnies and Burrows?

>>4119508
Now that you mention it...

>>4119508
I do too. I love /tg/ ever so much.

New thread: >>4119563

>>4119431
What's Lily up to? A little time spent weeding would be good for her. Hard work is the best cure and all.
