Standing at the edge provided by the light of the fire, the very frontier of your safe zone, became an increasingly bad idea with nothing but your instinct to back up your claim, the vision of specter and monstrous creatures was ephemeral at best, the golem was staring unflinching and now, convinced of her night vision, you decided to retreat to the fire once Hadraniel tried to walk to your side, none of those girls need to peer unto the complete dark : you tried looking at the night sky but the stars were obscured by a blanked of fog, all kept at bay thank to the fire.

You gently tugged at the golem, her hard expression never softening as you force her to look your way, all around the horrors roams, a fact understood by everyone and when the angel finally stop slightly behind you, whatever glimpse of transitory specters you managed to catch ended abruptly, all the more so when her pair of white, peerless wings deployed in all they’re grandeurs before shifting back into position near her shoulders.

‘’Don’t stay near the dark’’

She say in a whisper, her tone being half pleading, half scolding… ah no wait, that’s expressions from the link, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to not see past whatever wall and image she’s trying to present now, if only you weren’t in this accursed land you’d feel like cracking a joke, making her blush is an amazing guilty pleasure.

The champion is playing the music box for a third time now and all around the fire are your companions free of baggage and backpacks, flanked by Hadraniel and Emeth you slowly walk toward them, the soft music is a strange boon in this atmosphere, there’s no exhaustion or visible strain on anyone but that doesn’t chase the burden this land placed on them, on you as well.

Ame is the one resting as far from the light as she can, she isn’t busying herself with anything at all, her stare is almost vacant as she look unto the fire, stroking one of her tails absent mindedly she seems completely lost in nostalgia and you wonder if disturbing her would be wise.

Sylphis and Athena are sitting side by side near the champion, both looking at the individual with interest but soon shifting as you sit near them, Athena has her shield on her knee and probably had Sylphis unbelted the sword resting beside her, the two girls seem relatively relaxed, probably the two most down to earth right now with how this first impression of the cursed land is turning out, you do feel like spending some time with them.

Mylen is sitting alone, or was until you decide to occupy some space, now the young golem has taken refuge beside her and the two girls silently gaze as one into the bonfire, the large leather wings of your bodyguard are still caught in the odd nervous twitch here and there, and she keep her weapons at less than an arm length, ready to spring into action at a moment notice, for now she’s occupying herself with rolling some of her deep dark hair with her index.

Garret is the only one standing for now, holding the strange straw figurine with a look mixing wonder and confusion, the magic emanating from it is similar to your sword in the way that it is constant, unending and inorganic: a magic weapon to be sure, but soon enough the alchemist take his place by the fire, having finished his trade with the revenant.

This silence is ominous, even with everything crawling outside, nothing but the sound of breathing breaks the night, however already preparation for tomorrow are starting to be made, soon enough bedrolls will be laid near the camp but before that, do you wish to speak with someone or simply let these small events unfold and rest until morning?

"How are you holding up, Mylen? I see you and Hadraniel are getting along, and you and Sylphis talk. That's good."

I guess now is as good a time as any to get Mylen up to speed on what's happened since Siggy woke up on that battlefield: Sylphis and Athena saving his life, explain Emeth's existence, how he met Hadraniel and Bletsia, etc.

Tell her what's happened, answer any questions she has, and so forth. The sooner Mylen is up to speed, the sooner she'll settle in and get to know the other girls.

File: 1351977226169.jpg-(382 KB, 1150x1331, 51.jpg)

"How are you holding up, Mylen?’’

Breaking right into the silence, your words grab the attention of everyone present and Mylen give you an amused smile as she nod, letting go of her long, straight hair.

‘’I’ve been in worse place’’

It wouldn’t be farfetched to say that this land isn’t getting to her; whenever she happened to stumble into conflict she would always stay the same afterwards, completely unaffected.

You’ve been in more than enough scraps to simply wonder how she can stay like this.

‘’I see you and Hadraniel are getting along, and you and Sylphis talk. That's good."

Having both names mentioned bring the concerned individual to look at you, then to the succubus and the three shares a stare, soon broken by your bodyguard attitude, however Sylphis suddenly break into the silence.

‘’I’ve had the chance to feel up her wings, they’re pretty mesmerizing…’’

What? When? The mantis give you a smug smile and poke her sister who, upon contact, clear her throat and prompt her to stop, but the girl soon busy herself with unpacking some bedrolls when your eyes cross hers and finally.

‘’You snuck that one on me’’

Even so, your bodyguard bored look never change, but the atmosphere isn’t so harsh right now and you are thankful for that, after that you take some time to get Mylen up to date, although much of your adventures were summarize when you slept earlier today she still listened with great attention, everyone did in fact, your story isn’t the kind to be told near a campfire and you made certain to skip some details (especially when Hadraniel grew quite red), but your meeting with the head of the catfolk, how Sylphis was injured, the subsequent alliance and return with the queen, all of the big events were told in a calm and perhaps a bit obstinate tone, taking quite some time of the evening, right up until you needed to water your parched throat.

‘’You’ve been quite busy since your arrival in my land, haven’t you?’’

Halfway through your speech, the queen snuck closer to the light and finally, after everything has been said; her words mark the end of your little story.

‘’Still, I’m grateful, without you I do fear our tasks in Zipangu would have been… most difficult’’

A humble thank from a mischievous Inari, the dark vulpine ears falls low on her head for a moment before she perk up again.

‘’But now, I believe we should rest, this fire will keep us safe for as long as we need’’

You aren’t feeling very tired, but trying to take some time and do as she say may prove beneficial, after all you are in the harshest land known to mankind, at least so far.

>>21416555

True. We'll need to be rested when traveling in this place.

"I agree, Majesty." Turn to the others and say, "How should we set the watch for tonight?"

>>21416555
Let's get some sleep, but first we should ask about setting up a watch.
Unless that's what the Champion here and Emeth are for.

I don't know about the other players, but I'm still without power. I'm doing this from a friend's place that does have power, and more importantly, running water.

File: 1351979431789.jpg-(407 KB, 1000x1415, 9479364e06d0bbafb7034d73d(...).jpg)

"I agree, Majesty."

She returns you a genuine smile with her eternal hint of mischief, already Sylphis and Athena are unrolling beds after beds into the ruined hall of the house, Mylen is the second one to stand, with a brief nod to Ame she join the other two in silence, leaving you with Hadraniel and Emeth who seem to have settled, foregoing her continuing observation of the dark of the fire, her hand never leaving yours, for a moment you look at the effigy that the alchemist is holding and the silent champion before asking.

"How should we set the watch for tonight?"

A question left in the air, but one soon answered by your queen who is amusing herself by constantly moving her set of tails.

‘’Emeth need no sleep, only to recharge and I had Garret bring enough portable and instant fuel for her, although we might… strain the poor girl if we need to rely on her for a full week I’m certain she can take watch for as long as we need, this champion is also a valuable ally for just such a thing.’’

That… sound like a luxury, you look to the golem and she returns with a blank stare, her square and bright red pupils are still leaving you somewhat uncomfortable.

‘’The girl is, by far, the best one suited for a night watch’’

The other man of your group says, tearing his gaze away from the straw figurine, his gaze seems distant and forlorn but he seems frank.

‘’I can take first watch regardless’’

He adds before returning his interest to the fire.
It seem like tonight watch has been figured out, do you take your leave early?

Saturday had always been rather slow when I did MGQ, but maybe that hurricane is to blame this time

>>21416980
Wouldn't mind talking to the champion, but I'm not sure what to ask. Or at least a good way to phrase it.

>Forgot this got changed to Saturday. Woo~

>>21416996

Saturday threads can be a little slow at first but they usually pick up later in the day.

Sounds like the watch has been figured out. Siggy might as well get some sleep.

>>21416980
Since the watch appears to be already figured out, I suppose we should get some sleep.
WHERE we sleep, though, now that's the question.
Beside Athena? Ame? Hadraniel? Mylen? Sylphis?

Indeed that's the question.

Leave it to a roll? A more... relevant one is coming soon however

>>21417175
Could always have Siegfried set his roll off to the side and let whatever happens, happen. No need for him to decide, let them do it for him.

>>21417101

Mylen seems to be bedding down with Sylphis and Athena. The mantis and lizardgirl are like sisters so they'll be side-by-side probably. Mylen can take one side and Siggy the other. One big pile, just like old times...

Hadraniel can join the pile or sleep in her shrine, whichever she prefers.

File: 1351982053436.jpg-(243 KB, 850x1202, 50.jpg)

‘’I will be retreating early’’

You say in a half whisper, breaking contact with the golem who would have stood and followed you if not for you slight insistence when you put your hand on her shoulder, gently prodding her to stay and it would seem she understood, at least enough to not spring back up when you started to walk away from the bonfire, its light dancing across the features of the three monsters in the back, the angel preferred to stay with Emeth for the time being, with a strange mixtures of emotions you find yourself unable to properly identify, but you push away the distraction when Athena give you a brief greeting, however you don’t have time to place a word when Sylphis butt in.

‘’You are welcome to stay between us, Siggy, our warmth will give you more than enough reprieve.’’

…

Only the armored champion is gazing at the fire now, the silence isn’t oppressive but… you can only stare at her in embarrassment and guilt because, well… it kind of was your intention.

Her smile is broad, but Mylen cut into the middle with a feigned cough.

‘’He’ll be staying at the edge, I’ll make sure he doesn’t try anything funny’’

--

And so you find yourself back to back with your bodyguard, you wanted a pile but… there’s enough distance between you and the other two girls to make it a proper, separate resting spot, it take some time for you to fall asleep, it’s a wonder you even manage to do such a thing amidst the lurking specters and abominations but perhaps you were more tired than you thoughts? Activity came to a crawl amidst your companions and Mylen shifted to rest her head near the back of your neck, a welcome contact, so light, but enough to give you the needed comfort to properly rest.

Ever since you woke up in that field you always had strange dreams and you’ve come to blaming this corruption eating beast inside you for all of them, it’s a shame that you’ve forgotten all of them, the only thing left is a lingering feeling of oddness, a façade meant to keep you away and focus on more pressing matters but today… today is something different.

--

A small round table like what you’d find in every small tavern at the crossroads before the capital-

Wait why do you know such precision? There’s no roof, barely a hint of dusty wooden floor, two chairs standing face to face and a single candle resting upon the table, absolutely nothing else yet your clothes are drenched, you hear the loud steps of someone in front of you and, soon enough, an arm covered in black come out of the pure dark and a silhouette sit in front of the candle, its similar to that nightmare you’ve encountered back on Zipangu in the way shadows literally cling to its form, preventing any and all possible way of identification and instead, offering the illusion of monstrosity.
It gesture to at tis front, the hand letting out a constant stream of black smoke between its long, claw like fingers, so you oblige: a slow steady walk and you take your seat, trying to look the individual in the eyes prove futile, the head is the only thing you can identify.

‘’You are an interesting man’’

The voice isn’t what you’d expect from such a demonic being, no, the tone is, without a doubt, your very own; you’ve heard yourself talk enough time to know your own voice reliably and it is, without a doubt, speaking with yours.

‘’Luck has finally decided to favor you’’

Such statement only leave you questioning but you hear a brief clatter on the table, you see its long hand holding a clay cup, reversed and, under your eyes, lifting it to a single dice of obsidian ending on a ‘’5’’ dots of purple.

‘’I can give you a single answer, but I advise you to not be greedy, you are about to lose something precious’’

You shift in your seat; eyes glued on that dice, the shadow pick it up and place it in the cup, waiting with obvious anticipation, glee in fact

>>21418056

I assume that's a prompt to roll 1d6 and ask our question.

>>21418056
Perhaps we should ask how to prevent losing what is precious to us?

>>21418056

The knee jerk reaction would be 'What you mean 'about to lose something precious,' but that would be bad and waste of a question.

So a single question and single answer. We have a list of a mile long with questions and we need to pick one that will help us the most. Preferably one that has answer that links to other questions answers.

>>21418163

That's a good one. Or ask how Siggy can regain control over the corruption-eating beast within. I think more and more that the 30-day time limit and the beast within are related.

>>21418238

10 post after mine, given that there isn't much activity you guys need to reach a consensus else I'll pick one in the pile.

I say we ask how to prevent losing that precious thing. It's probably one of the girls, and it's better to keep from losing one of them now. We already have a plan for how to cheat death at the end of the month, but we need to not lose the girls we have now.

>>21418267

So many possible questions to ask, and we can only get one answered.

I'm voting for the one I think Siegfried will get the most mileage out of in the long term: "How can I re-gain control over the corruption-eating beast within me?"

>>21418056
"And how do I stop losing what I am about to?'

Joy.

>>21418294
But we don't know if that's going to work. In fact it most likely wont work.

>>21418337
It's a good question. But I feel we should ask something else like how to prevent his death at the end of the 30-days or prophecy(?) from going true.

Bah. We have too many questions to ask and not enough time to narrow it down.

>>21418337
Seconding this.

>>21418422
No. Our question is how to prevent the loss, not what we're going to lose.

>>21418503
Yeah if that's going to get picked here. Make sure it's right.

He’s playing with you, the way he handle the cup and how his fingers dance across the table is all telltale signs of his amusement, the wait for your question it seem, is something he’s taking an… extreme amount of joy in, this shadowy figure isn’t competent in masking its emotions it would seem.

So much things to ask, so many mysteries around you that could be solved, no doubt the warning he gave you was perfectly calculated and, in the end, the possibility of losing someone close to you is a fear much greater than whatever impending doom Tsukiyomi prophecy has on you, the Cursed Land is not kind and if it’s going to claim someone already, then you’ll have to make sure it isn’t so.

''How to prevent the loss?''

Your answer is a smug and needlessly long laugh; the shadow stop fidgeting with the cup and gently place is on the table, the obsidian dice still on a 5, it cross its hands, its eyes probably looking straight into yours.

‘’I was expecting that one, my boy’’

Speaking in your voice, hearing that ‘’boy’’ isn’t leaving you with any kind of sympathy, if anything you’d almost feel insulted if not for the weirdness of this situation. You almost snap to have him stop lingering.

‘’By waking up’’

As simply as that huh? Such a simple trick question… well you don’t really have time to linger, you stand up immediately, and the chair loudly claps as it reach the ground.

‘’I’ve been waiting for you, Siegfried Shieffer you possess more than enough… pedigree for me to grant you an audience, you retinue, although prestigious, is ultimately expendable’’

You’ve never heard your own voice being so smug before, back to this shadowy form, you turn to glare at it and notice that its holding the dice between thumb and index.

‘’You’ve struggled a long, long time boy, and I, High King of this land, grant you audience.’’

--

You open your eyes to the light of morning and the soft white of a certain pair of wings sleeping in front of you, not too far but you’d love if it the gap was closed. Hadraniel is sleeping soundlessly, her long golden hair falling on her bedroll and you’d spend the morning looking if you didn’t have something pressing to do.

You slowly untangle yourself from Mylen hug, Sylphis and Athena are sleeping not too far and rather close as well, they give a true picture of sisters and you find yourself smiling.

Garret has taken a spot not too far from the fire, rather reclusive. The champion is still sitting and finally you spot Emeth whom, upon seeing you, gently get up and start to walk toward.

Hmm… everything seems in order?

When the golem stop, you give her a light poke on her cheek and the girl simply close her eyes due to the stimuli, her light brown hair reach to her waist and certainly doesn’t look any worse for wear and even with staying up all night stalked by monstrosities she look just as healthy and energetic as she was before you retired to sleep, but the absence of fluffy tail chase all of your remaining drowsiness and, accepting Emeth hand, you walk to the fire to ask the armored champion one single question.

‘’Do you know where queen Ame-no-Uzume is currently located?’’

You only earn a silent stare, the armored revenant stay sitting for a few seconds and… the click and clack of armor resonate inside the room as it stand, leaving behind most of its baggage beside sword and shield, without a single exchange, the champion set out into the humid forest free of sounds and absent of life, you don’t need words to understand that he, or she, will act as guide even so you don’t have to walk long, a small clearing just to the right of the house full of tree dripping a slimy black substance that force a grunt out of you, incredibly tall and full of foliages, yet constantly dripping, just the distance of a few steps out of the house if only there was a window and you’d have seen her, standing right there in the middle, looking up to the cloud covered sky, only a few precious ray of sunlight making it through the barrier.

You’d probably feel relieved, but the vision of a specter rob you of joy: the creature is hovering above the fair queen holding a hourglass of boring gray, the sand quickly, much to quickly, descending as its skeleton face look at you, mocking you in its eternal smile.

In this silence, it seems she hasn’t even picked up the sound of the armor of the champion.

Feeling the strength of Emeth hand increases convince you that she’s seeing that spirit, however the mute knight doesn’t seem to grow any tenser, with every seconds having more and more powder fall to the bottom of the hourglass you are quickly prompted to action and immediately step closer to the fluffy queen.

‘’Ame! You are in danger!’’

Then, as if your voice was culprit, the hourglass shatter without a sound and the specter vanish soon after however, you came in time.

The queen is someone used to ambush it seem, her guard was definitely down not a second earlier but your simple warning was enough to flare all of her reflexes and, without a glance backward, Ame jump forward, her ears having picked a sound you missed and it was made in almost perfect synchronization, one second later, a single moment would have her pinned under whatever creature just popped out of the tree.

Probably a man, skin and bone rotten beyond belief with a face carved in a ghoulish smile, wounds and holes in its body produce an, unending small tide of rotten slimy black liquid very similar to what the trees have been bleeding, worm comes crawling out of its mouth and some of the wounds, you notice that its thorax is open, bones formed into an inviting open mouth without internal organs.

There’s a constant leaking sound, as it… stay there, unmoving, but soon the sound of metal rip apart the tension when the champion pull out his sword, the ambush has been averted as simple as that: a simple action saved the life of the queen but now, this thing discovered is a being of pure corruption, its human form mark it as an aberration, an abomination born out of the two force and its milky white eyes are absent of sanity yet, it doesn’t move as if awaiting an inevitable end.

‘’Not quite’’

Ame speak, having picked her ornate fan, her pupils have been completely removed by fire granting her a sudden grace and intimidation akin to gods – in dawn, none is stronger than her – and now you see why the creature isn’t moving: small lines sway above it, no bigger than a strand of hair, they reach out to the sky while imprisoning the foe, rolling into each joint of its arms and legs, one around its neck and the last around its torso, theses cords burns in bright blue fire and enough magic emanate from the 9 tailed monster to blanket the whole clearing, the very air sway as if you were underwater, putting an unbelievable pressure on your shoulders

‘’But I thank you for your concern, Siegfried.’’

This is why it isn't moving, its helplessly held like a fly in the web.

‘’None need dirty they’re blades, this one is but one of many mad denizen of this land and for the crime of attempted regicide, my punishment is death.’’

With a flick of her wrist, Ame-no-Uzume close her fan and, just like that, every piece of flaming magical ropes holding the creature in place slice and burn through its body, each arms and legs separated in three, waist separated from the torso and finally, as last insults, its beheaded in one fell swoop, the magic cutting right into its rotten and humid body and, whatever life or unlife leave its body, the flesh melt on the ground like a poisoned tar, gorging the soil of the forest and finally, Ame let go of Trance, the almost palpable blanket weighing in the clearing disappearing along the queen wish.

Such an incredible display, it wouldn’t be far to say she look invincible, was the High King then? Could she really... die at the hand of such a wretched creature?

‘’I saw a specter above you, Ame, holding a hourglass it was almost empty when I screamed’’

Her pupil back to gold, she closes her eyes and nod, with a strangely frail smile, Emeth and the Champion seem to be dumbfounded at the whole situation.

It’s hard to blame after such a display.

‘’I… might not have evaded such an ambush if you didn’t warn me, thank you, Siegfried.’’

No matter how strong you are, being caught off guard will always be the end of you, this High King was right, you really did almost lose something precious, just like that.

This land is truly wretched.

Sorry about cutting it short, maybe I'll try another session tomorrow even if its a bad idea with my schedule, I just don't like ending so soon

>>21420451
Thanks for the thread.

And the players will be here. Just give us a yell.

Take it easy man.

>>21420451

No worries, INH. Just keep us updated on Twitter and let us know when you decide on Saturday or whenever in the future.

>>21420523
A bit of a shame but thanks for the thread regardless.

>>21420619

I'll make up for it with next session, this I promise

>>21420632
Make up for it with the death of a party member, most likely.

>>21420523
>>21420632

It's cool, man. Schedule changes have a way of screwing one up. I know I've been there.

File: 1351997150763.jpg-(406 KB, 664x900, 37.jpg)

>>21420647

But that was just avoided, the fact you guys asked a questio nthat didn't need a long drawn out answer gave you all the time you needed to warn her.

>>21420659

I'll continue to try my best, next week will pretty much be the moment of truth

>>21420647
>a party member
>implying just one
Exactly! You really don't want to know how it would have turned out otherwise.

>>21420705

Glad to see we managed to avoid that. Explaining Ame's death to Tsu would've really sucked.

Now now, she wouldn't have died so easily, its so... anticlamatic!

I dunno about that.

>>21420956

Well you guys asked a short question and the lack of a long drawn out speech gave you all the time you needed, speaking of what if doesn't give us anything does it?

>>21420859
I don't know about that. Anticlimactic deaths are great for flipping your audience's rage switch, since having a long established character go out with a whimper instead of a bang tends to hit the readers harder.

There's that word again, I'm just... giving conflict!

I do hope this session reinforced the fact that this land want you dead.

Then... why is this quest still alive if I'm evil?

>>21421603

Because your audience are all Ss.

>>21421603
Because you're letting those feels ripen before the harvest.

But in all seriousness I'm expecting the hammer to drop any thread now.

File: 1352001201713.jpg-(83 KB, 440x1481, 60.jpg)

>>21421648

Hammer as in banhammer? I hope not, I've been at it for almost a year now, if its another kind of hammer then... I can only say that you'll ahve to see

>>21421619

Ss? Hmm... interesting

>>21421680

Nah, to drop the hammer is synonymous with going all out, or shit going down.

I worded that very very poorly, it was/is a slime different than Avina, but the opporunity for her... well I could place another one but the cast is already enormous.

I even had plan for a dragon too!

I know where you're coming from, but I could totally handle Siggy having his own Peterhausen. I want to push the issue, but I know I shouldn't. Dammit.

Also the slime was basically Bletsia prototype, but I'd love to put her in there regardless because.

Just so long as you can give a definitive answer for me sometime somewhat soon dude. I understand life sucks more than most.
