You are Reinhold, master swordsman and victor of the Royal Swordsmanship Tournament. The King was so impressed with your skill, he personally requested that you be transferred out of the army and into the Royal Guard! Not bad for an orphan who was raised in a brothel in a poor fishing village.The only issue at this point is your assignment... you've been charged to be the personal guard of the King's only daughter Marianne. While she is the vision of loveliness that you'd expect from a Princess, her personality is... well... she seems to have some issues.The party, it is over!Finally!After you managed to avoid a loaded situation caused by Luciana, she retired to her room for the night and left the rest of you to do whatever...>Congratulations, you are now a mangy DOG!>Though dogs are loyal, they're not all that smart...>The Princess now considers you to be her friend!>But while dogs are man's best friend, they still don't count as people.Thread archive:http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=Princess+Guard+QuestCharacter list + descriptions (in progress):http://pastebin.com/1Vhj4DJvList and descriptions of the spells shown thus far:http://pastebin.com/2c9y2sDMTwitter:https://twitter.com/QM_ArchelonQuest compilation that's kindly maintained by a person who isn't me:https://www.dropbox.com/sh/n4nhs9gd0kmnnni/04tpEy5_pe>>>>>>>>
With a sigh of relief that he didn't have to get involved with a squabble between two girls who are both like daughters to him, Sir Gregory cracks his knuckles and pushes his chair under the table."I'm gonna go yell at Celestino some more, so I'll probably be late getting back, don't wait up for me, Nico.""Hm?" Nicolette says, turning to her father. "Uh... okay?"As he heads through the same back exit that Luciana took, Sylvie turns to you."So, um... Reinhold?" Sylvie says, adjusting her glasses."Yeah?" you reply."About the magic lesson... you wanted to learn a healing spell, right? If we were back home I'd just show you in the library, but I dunno if it's okay to use magic in the one over here... would you mind if I taught you in my suite?""How incredibly bold of you, Sylvie!" Rana laughs. "Inviting a boy to your room... you're gonna make Nico here jealous!""I- I didn't mean it like that!" Sylvie stammers."Yeah, seriously... cut that shit out," Nicolette mumbles, blushing slightly."Tough crowd, huh," Rana shrugs.>suite lessons!>that is far too lewd a location to ha magic lessons in!>[OTHER]

>>29521333>suite lessons!I guess we can assume from this that any potential misfires of a healing spell are still relatively safe to the outside environment.I'm a little curious as to how we're going to confirm we have the healing spell figured out properly without there being an actual injury for us to address with it.
>>29521533>"Okay Reinhold! Now it's time to test it!">"Test it? What do yo-"And that's how Reinhold learns about masochism.
Odds that we'll finally reach the duel?
>>29521533Oh there will be some injures alright...

>>29521667Luciana POV during the match would be nice.nothing like seeing one of your chances of "freedom" die right in front of you.
>>29521969I would like a Mathias POV of the match so that we can get a different point of view, and also have him be next to Reinholds group.(his is of course routing for Monique with Alicia screaming the loudest.)
>>29521808You doubt the Lord Jesus Christ?

"Your suite? Fine with me," you say, shrugging."O- oh, but it's Melanie's room too..." Sylvie mumbles as she remembers that she's sharing a room. "Umm, I could always try and find somewhere else if we'd be bothering you," she says, turning to Melanie."Oh no, you wouldn't be bothering me at all!" Melanie says, shaking her head for added emphasis."Are you sure?" Sylvie asks. "I mean-""She said it's fine so don't worry about it!" Rana says with a toothy grin. "And just to ease any guilt that you have, how about I take these two ladies here..." she says, placing an arm around both Nicolette and Melanie's shoulders, "...and find a place where I can regale them with tales of my adventures!""You don't have to do that," Nicolette says as she tries in vain to escape Rana's clutches. "I mean, me and Melanie can just hang out in my-""And now we have a venue!" Rana giggles. "Come now, let us go to relive my short life of adventure!"Unable to fight back in any way, Nicolette gives in to Rana's pushy nature as she leads them out of the hall. As for Melanie, she simply smiles nervously as she's pulled along as well...>[1/?]
>>29522268Poor nico.No chance to be alone with melon
>>29522268Damn it Rana, you're ruining Nico's time alone.
>>29522268/u/ pls go
>>29522268"If that doesn't turn into a threesome I'll eat my hat."
>>29522268>Rana doesn't even know how much of a massive cuntblock she's being.D'awwww

>>29522268Rana is best girl.
>>29522391i bet she's trying to pair up either Nico or Maido to be her little brother's girlfriend. once that is done, he'll be distracted so Rana can run off and have adventures herself.
>>29522391Dragon waifu is the best waifu.
>>29522268>[2/2]As the two of you watch your friends leave, Sylvie turns to you with an amused smile."Ehehe... I think this is the first time that Nicolette's had to put up ith someone even pushier than she is," Sylvie says, giggling. "I do feel kind of bad for her though, Rana's kind of messing up her chances t-"And then she slaps both hands over her mouth as if to manually prevent herself from speaking."N- never mind that..." Sylvie says with a nervous chuckle. "Umm, how about we get going ourselves?" she asks."Yeah, we probably should before it gets too late," you reply.>talk about something as you walk?
>>29522503"Nicolette already told me about Melanie so it's not really a secret you need to keep from me anymore.
>>29522268Am I the only that really wants to try setting Nico up with Rana? I think they'd make an adorable overpowered couple.
>>29522503so um, just how exactly are we going to tell if a healing spell works if i'm not injured?
>>29522503Tell her we know about the maid, but omit the part about us.Also if she offers a chance to try and help nico say no since shipping is retarded.
>>29522503"i already know about nico's crush, so no need to hide it, you know"
>>29522540This
>>29522503Ask how the healing spell worksbe practical guys....we have things to do
>>29522534there's been no romantic interest shown either way, this is the bad kind of shipping>>29522541>shipping is retarded.it can be, but when one friend openly admits to having feelings for another friend, trying to set them up is perfectly normal
>>29522527This.
>>29522540we can practice dancing with Sylvie some more, i am sure she'll bust Rienhold foot some more.
>>29522503"I sorta already found out. Rana doesn't even realize what she's doing."
>>29522540well...
>>29522594No it isn't.
>>29522594But if the guy himself is a emotional wreck when it comes to such things, then it isn't a good idea to push it
>>29522503Ask about healing spells.Let's not start with Nico, it's her business
>>29522503"I already know about Nico's crush, she told me, though she doesn't really do a good job of hiding it anyways."After we cover this we can ask about the healing spell thing, though we could always just pull out a knife and put a light cut on our leg or arm or something.
>>29522594>trying to set them up is perfectly normalThats the thing we gave her shit for doing it to us and she hinted at giving us shit for when we did the same, put scuffed it off as us being nice.There is also the part where it seems obnoxious.Just let the girl do it her way.
>>29522118Please don't lump all of us in the same boat. I'm sick of some peoples attempts to match make and transform people into stuff for no reason other than they think it would be cute and shit.
>>29522594Shipping is never good in any situation ever.Name 3 situations where shipping was good.
>>29522503You are almost as bad as Nico at this secrets thing Syl.
>>29522709>1. Shipping medicine for an outbreak
>>29522709Shipping real dolls from japan.
>>295227612. international trade
>>295227092. When you like both characters and seeing them do romantic things makes your heart race.
>>29522540This sounds good. I'm sure it's some obvious or something.>>29522709>3. Shipping troops to kick nazi ass
>>29522709Well, I'm playing Fortune Summoners in-between updates right now and shipping is what allowed enter the wind temple.
>>29522795So personal reasons and trading.

As the two of you walk through the hallways, you hear the sound of Rana's laughter coming from a fair way ahead of you... come to think of it, you all -are- heading to the same place. Probably should have just walked there together, but whatever.Figuring that you should probably let Sylvie know that you know, you turn to her..."Nicolette told me about Melanie, so that's not something that you need to worry about talking bout in front of me anymore," you say."R- really?" Sylvie replies, staring at you. "Ugh... that's a relief," she says with a tired sigh. "It's still kind of annoying that she had the courage to tell YOU but not Melanie, even though she's liked her for years now...""That long, huh?" you ask."Yeah... she's been around the castle for five years now, but Nicolette's still worried about how she would react. I keep telling her to just go for it already, but she STILL hasn't worked up the nerve," Sylvie says as she takes off her glasses and cleans them with a handkerchief. "I mean, Melanie still treats Mr. Niklaus the same, even after he asked her out and she turned him down...">[1/?]
>>29523589These normal people attracting extraordinary individuals.
I missed this shit somewhere.What thread did Nico tell us? I don't remember this.Thanks in advance while I crawl the archives
>>29523687when she said she liked us she also said that she likes melon more, then gregory appearedi think early day 26
>>29523687Juuust before the ball started. We were in her suite and she told us all of it.
>>29523687#80 "In which Reinhold and Nicolette are having The Talk"
>>29523589>"I mean, Melanie still treats Mr. Niklaus the same, even after he asked her out and she turned him down..."Psssst, that's probably part of why she doesn't want to work up the nerve.Telling someone you like them only to be turned down politely and having the object of your affection just go right back to how things have always been like nothing happened would probably hurt.Doesn't it, Sylvie.Now imagine it's final. And you've been building up to it for YEARS, rather than weeks.
>>29523687In the thread where waifu wars and /u/ boat shippers became one.It was only stopped because arch gave a final warning for the being a huge dick choice was suggested.
>>29523761He should had let those guys suffer instead of throwing them a bone.
>>29523757Sure, it'll hurt. And there's someone who has gone through the same experience: Niklaus! Leap into his comforting arms, Nicolette!
>>29523761It was a huge choice that would.1.Get Gregory pissed off at us and at best punch us2.Had hurt Nicos feelings and maybe earned a punch/slap3.Hurt our relationships with Sylvie, Marie, the maid primarily and a few other people.4.Basically ruin everyone mood or at least hampered it, during the ball.5.Gotten lectured by our sister/GrandmaIs from the top of my head, so of course he would make sure if people really wanted to pick that choice.
>>29523821Yeah but why them them drag the rest of us down with them?
>>29523856or Rana, she's building up a better kind of treasures.
>>29523898>>29523821Meant to quote.
>>29523589>[2/2]"A- ANYWAYS, it's her business so I try to butt out as much as I can when she's not teasing me for liking you, aside from pushing her a -little- bit," Sylvie says, putting her glasses back on. "I suggest you stay out of it too, she'll probably try and beat you up if you get too involved in it.""Uh, thanks for the heads-up," you reply.No need to bring up the details of that to Sylvie, she'd probably freak out. And did she just say that without thinking?"I can't help but wonder," you say, trying to change the subject, "how exactly are we going to tell if I'm casting the healing spell right if I'm not injured?""Don't worry about that," Sylvie says absentmindedly. "I still have to explain the specifics of healing magic before we actually get to casting..."Uh, okay?>more talking?
>>29523589Hey Arch, quick question about our bracelet thingie. It's absorbing/feeding on our magic right? Does that meet it's becoming more metallic over time or do we not effect it's composition/development at all?
>>29523954>more talkingNot sure about what though. The party?
>>29523928To teach them a lesson.>>29523954Talk about the party and when we can learn more spells.
>>29523954I think we're good.
>>29523954Bring up the scrolls we bought and say we want to learn those spells eventually.
>>29523898I just really wanted to have at least one other person who wasn't attracted to Reinhold. At this point the only girls who aren't attracted to him are Melon and Marie.I really hope Marie never takes an interest in Reinhold, or at least finds someone else.
>>29523954>Is she feeling better after the fall earlier?
So arch, a think occurred to me. Are we capable of influencing the content of Monique's dreams?
>>29524008Good idea. What do we have anyway? Boost, Aurora Field, Shade Guard, and some others right?
>>29523974It's completely consumed the metal in the bracelet that it's infested, the (very slight) amount of magical energy that it's absorbing right now is just for basic subsistence.
Rolled 16>>29524012Karel's mom isn't. Not seriously, anyway. There's your one person, now fuck off.
>>29524012True, but in the way they suggested it.Which was basically blowing her feeling off like they were nothing and then begin to try and make plans to hook her up with the maid was retarded.
>>29524008>>29523986These two.
>>29524008Not a bad idea.
>>29524028No.
>>29524042Oh please. Given the opportunity, she'd sheath our sword to the hilt, without pause
>>29524036if we wrapped some wire or something around it would it absorb that as well?
>>29524008This.
>>29524008>>29523986Seconded.>>29524012We have male friends and there is Nico's mom.
>>29524042Why you so mad, bro?
>>29524036hey archelon, so does the bracelet now we have 'equipped' it, does it reduce our mana pool max a bit, but increase the MAG stat a set or precentage amount?
>>29524080We should totally test that out.
>>29524012Elena, Karel, Greg, Vinny, El Rey, Cel (El Otro Rey), Lis, Nico's Mom, every unnamed character, all the dragons and half dragons, and as mentioned the princess and the maid.Not every character is interested in Rein, but he's a new face around a number of eligible women (and men) and he has fairly good prospects so is it that surprise ping there's a high level of interest?
>>29524059Darn. I wanted to make him dream of being adrift in an amber sea. To be lost in a fluffy wonderland. To have his mind lain bare to the splendor of the tails.And come to the conclusion that he needs to ask the queen of... Eastern country I don't remember the name of... If she has any available kinsfolk.
>>29524079Would we be awake?>>29524110No need to power game.Arch purposely avoids things like that.
>>29524012to be fair nico is more minor crush than true interest
>>29524113Feed me. Feed me Seymour.
>>29524012Are you really trying to justify that choice of being a cunt?
>>29523821Those guys are US though.We can't control that people are fucking stupid and can't see that their route crushes might have consequences.
>>29524150*more realistic crush than "love of my life i want to marry him omg" first ever crush
>>29524080I'd have to say no as Niklaus had to do magiscience on it in the first place for it to even become what it is. And giving the Princess' bodyguard a metal eating bracelet is beyond retarded.
>>29524156>>29524113>>29524080Be funny if this was the true way to get Tina into waifu status.Though at this point she would be too heave to wear or become our armour.
>>29524131If not before she started, I'm sure we would soon be. She strikes me as the kind of woman that rides men like war horses is it war horse, or warhorse?
>>29523761>>29523821>>29524178I forgot what the choice was. I remember when people wanted to spend the night alone instead of with sylvie, and there was a big ol' fuss about that after rein went full retard. What was the choice you were talking about?
>>29524012You know, in my head everything would work perfectly if Emilio grew a spine and courted Marie like the good prince he should be.That would-Unite the two kingdoms-Have him grow a pair-Give Marie someone to cry with-Maybe get him interested in swordfighting-Get Karel off his backPlus it would very nicely tie up the family issues the two kingdoms are having.But that's probably not going to happen unless we really, really push Emilio every chance we get.
>>29524128Kinsen, bro.
>>29524080>if we wrapped some wire or something around it would it absorb that as well?No, part of Niklaus's modifications to it were to make it so that it can only consume material that has been "prepared' for it. You'd have to know the specifics behind the process to even begin to try and add more to it.>>29524110>hey archelon, so does the bracelet now we have 'equipped' it, does it reduce our mana pool max a bit, but increase the MAG stat a set or precentage amount?It eats up 2MP a day just from sitting there on your wrist, actively moving it taks up more energy.
>>29523986>To teach them a lessonHow is giving them what they want teaching them a lesson? Besides the 1-2 anons that would have been "outraged" by the unexpected consequences now have no fodder to scream about.
>>29524240Uniting the two kingdoms doesn't exactly look like the best idea and the rest doesn't need Emilio to specifically get Marie to happen.
>>29524222About if we wanted to tell Nico "Fuck you we like someone else!" or not. All the /u/boats and waifufags got together to try and push it, Arch warned them that we were giving the middle finger to a close friend and even closer friend to the women we DO want to pursue. And that it was a dumb idea all around and even dumber idea when we found out the circumstances around it. I don't think they learned anything. Just that they can try and fight against opposing camps with impunity and arch will stop them if they try something stupid.
>>29524258what would happen if we ran out of MP and then didn't sleep?
>>29524240Only one of those actually requires Marie and Emilio to hook up.
>>29524222http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/28807873/#p28810529Read downwards as the waifu fags and the /u/ boat shippers formed an alliance.
>>29524275It probably isn't the best idea, but it would definitely tie up a bunch of relationship issues the two families are having. I mean, Celestino wanted Luci to marry someone twice her age just to fix this. I know he's probably not the most stable person being pragmatic with his own children like that, but it's still something to consider if he's become that desperate.
>>29524258>No, part of Niklaus's modifications to it were to make it so that it can only consume material that has been "prepared' for it. You'd have to know the specifics behind the process to even begin to try and add more to it.so if we want a crystal sword we need Niklaus to prep some more material for us.
>>29524277I want to pursue nico
>>29524240Pretty sure Emilio's gonna end up being a historian/academic, not a fighter of any kind. And he isn't the heir so how would it be uniting two kingdoms?
>>29524292Well, how else will he grow a pair? Maybe Emilio needs to hook up with Karel's mom. She's the perfect blend of assertiveness to push Emilio into a relationship and the spaghetti spilled would be hilarious
>>29524280You wouldn't be able to use magic, and also feel kind of really shitty until you got some rest.As for the bracelet, it'd just starve since you're its source of "food."Just sitting down and/or regular non-sleep rest recovers a small bit of MP, but it's nowhere near the amount that actual sleep gives.
>>29524312Me tooI'd like spear wufu but everyone else tries to crush our flagsAlso it would work out very nicely in the story considering that the only family we are even remotely in good terms with is Gregory's
>>29524312me too anon me too
>>29524353>>29524361w-we can always wait for the VN
>>29524325That would be all kinds of fucking hilarious.with the added spaghetti of becoming your best friend's new stepfather
>>29524312SameI have always advocated Sylvie and Nico.
>>29524312Me too, but that got shot to hell quick.
>>29524258Darn. It would've been entertaining if we could have had a scene where rein is sitting at a table during a meal, quietly taking silverware under the doable and feeding Tina.
>>29524312 I used to, but it'd be wrong of us. She likes Melanie a lot more than us, and we have other options. I'm going for Luciana, Marianne, or Sylvie right now
>>29524374y-yeahI'm sure she won't be the Sacchin at all.
This is a bit of a tangent but should we worry about the bracelet during the duel? Monique might say we are cheating with magic or something if he sees it
>>29524304What particular relationship issues would it actually solve?As far as I can tell the big problems are that Celestino is a controlling jerk to his daughters and a bad dad in general and that Marie never gets to see her dad. Unless Celestino is willing to change his entire viewpoint on gender roles that's not going to get fixed, Emilio dating Marie has no way of solving that. Also, when Marie takes the thrown her dad's going to fuck of to adventure.>>29524325Growing a pair is a prerequisite to date Marie. So he'll have to grow a pair on his own regardless of whether he ends up with Marie or not.
>>29524410Even if he saw it, I doubt he'd even know what it is.At worst he would think it's a tacky fashion statement.
>>29524404that's meido
>>29524403That assumes Melanie has any interest in Nico? What if Nico confesses and gets shot down? Then, after a reasonable mourning/recovery period, would you be willing to entertain the idea?
>>29524403Arch has said before that nico has always been an option and that we just need to help her get feelings for Reinhold, plus how is it wrong that we are helping her move on?
>>29524403I agree with you, but I don't see the Melon route going anywhere for her unless it turns out Melon reciprocates the feelings as wellThat's a really big "If"
>>29524413Well he is ancient.
>>29524442 absolutely. but until then, I'd like to do everything we can to get them together
>>29524353>>29524361>>29524374>>29524312>>29524383>>29524391Anons let us unite for a just cause!!
>>29524453Are you talking about melon liking Nico? Did you pay attention to her at ALL during the party? She wants to spend time with Nico.
>>29524484>Are you talking about melon liking Nico?Yes>Did you pay attention to her at ALL during the party?Yes>She wants to spend time with Nico.Spending time with your good friend is normal.
>>29524484I spend time with my friends at partiesthat doesn't mean I'm in love with them
>>29524484Did you pay attention to the attention she was getting when she left Gregory's little bubble of protection? I'm not surprised she spent the night hanging out with a platonic friend and trying to avoid leaving the table.
Hmmm.....If we ended up with the Daughter of the Red Mist, it would a) Give us a greater chance to become a better Swordie by training with Pops (Gregory) b) Give us a greater chance to become a better Swordie by training with a peer (Nico) and c) Get us in close enough inside of the royal family to still be able to dick around with all of our royal friends without people getting all "You don't belong!!" while also being able to keep a distance from any sort of actual politiking. Also, for all of you Magical Realm friends out there, the fact that Nico likes boys AND girls opens a very interesting option for a possible three way with Melon or MeganeAnd to those of you who say that the above will never happen, I say that it is AT LEAST as likely as a Lucianna BDSM scene, that is to say, probably not going to happen
>>29524484That.. doesn't mean anything though, from everything we've seen, she doesn't seem to harbor much interest in that way. She could be really good at hiding it, but wanting to spend time around her is like us wanting to spend time around Karel or Takamaru Don't start, /y/fags
>>29524484there's a difference between wanting to hang with your friends when at a party full of people you don't know and being romantically interested in them.personally i think it's possible since arch seems like the kind of guy to set things up for happy endings for whoever we don't go with
>>29524530Huh, did not know you could have nested spoilers. Good to know.
>>29524413>As far as I can tell the big problems are that Celestino is a controlling jerk to his daughters and a bad dad in general Actually, I'd say that's more of the symptom of the actual problem, which is that Celestino is too busy being an ambitious king to be anything else. The whole reason he wants and has a lot of kids is so he can marry them off for political alliances so he can safely push for this very risky merger with Granache. I'm not saying he sees his children as political tools over people but the fact that he is so heavily using them as such gives off that impression. He's so bad with his children because all they really are at the end of the day is someone to wed off for more political power, his daughters especially.
>>29524537Explain why she was spying on Nicolette training if she doesn't harbor interest. Do you really buy Melanie's story there? And face it, this is anime quest, it would be downright bizarre for her not to like Nico back.
>>29524530Well hold on, hold on, Back up here.You're looking at this from the viewpoint of becoming more powerful and that's a terrible way of looking at it. I mean, A) could be accomplished now. B) already happens all the time, and C) would happen with any candidate we have so far. I just like her because she likes us and her family likes us. We haven't even met Sylvie's family yet (we need to get on that, I want to see more Vincent, need more fist wizard now)
>>29524312I know how you feel man.
>>29524573You really didn't know that?
>>29524539I think you're willfully ignoring the amount of sexual harassment the Meido would have been subjected to if she wasn't hanging out with her friend.
>>29524530Please, becoming Gregory's son in law would get us half again as much politico as becoming a ward boss. "guess what we're gonna do, *son*."
>>29524601Never tried it. Never particularly had a reason too. But now that I know the option's available...
>>29524594Oh, I like her based purely on personality as well, but if I just say that "Nico's a great girl, lets go for Nico!" everyone will get upset about waifuing. At least by providing objectively beneficial reasons, I can avoid sounding like a TOTAL prat.
>>29524593thread#?
>>29524462I like that planBut she needs a nudge that I don't think we can provide. We can't confess for her.Well, we could TRY, but it would resort in all sorts of unpleasant things happening to us
>>29524627you know how>to do this?
>>29524633Saying "we should go for a girl because I like her" isn't what makes you a prat. Coming up with excuses in the form of objective reasons to mask your naked desire is what makes you a prat. Be honest.
"Speaking of spells, I actually bought a bunch of scrolls when I was out with Nicolette the other day," you say."Eh? Scrolls?" Sylvie replies, looking kind of disappointed. "Umm, what spells did you get?""Uh... Shade Guard, Aurora Field, Morning Fog and Boost," you say, reciting the contents of your purchase from memory."Boost!?" Sylvie gasps. "Reinhold, that spell is REALLY dangerous... if you screw up when using it, you might actually die from it!">how do you respond?
>>29524593Even assuming she's spying on her training, that doesn't mean "She wants her". Think of how much Gregory has spied on us, does that mean HE wants us? Oh god please no
>>29524653Yeah, you just put a>in the middle of your words like>this
>>29524633Actually, you sound like more of a prat.You want Nico because you like Nico. That's all it is for everyone at the end of the day.
Maybe, >but it seems you don't
>>29524661"Oh."
>>29524661"Wow. It must be a REALLY good spell then."
>>29524661"Well, all I gotta do is not screw up."
>>29524661"I only bought it for emergencies. I already got warned by the cashier so I'm not going to just cast it willy-nilly."
>>29524661"Shopkeep said something similar. I wasn't planning on using it unless I got into some messed up situation that would kill me if I didn't use it."
>>29524690This
>>29524684Good try though.
>>29524661"Well Golly!"Then allow her to elaborate.
>>29524684...nor do I...
>>29524661"Good to know! I'll just put that one aside until we've gone over how it works and your convinced I won't kill myself with it.""But for now let's focus on that healing spell, please."
>>29524661>Go train alone with Boost
>>29524697This.
>>29524692>>29524696>>29524697Seconded.
>>29524661well, i guess i won't be trying to learn that one on my own
>>29524661explain further
>>29524696>>29524697Something like these.
>>29524661then its good that I didn't try, can you tell me exactly what it does?
>>29524661"I'll try not to screw up then.If I'm in a situation where I'm going to use it my life, or more importantly Marianne's life, is probably already in danger.How do you avoid screwing up?"
>>29524661"I know. I ain't planning on using it unless it's an emergency."
>>29524661channel shiro
>>29524725Listing "objective" reasons is such a transparent ploy to gain support. Seriously, don't do it. It's super annoying, way more than someone saying why they like Nicolette.
>>29524661"All the more reason to make sure I get healing spells figured out!"don't say this.>>29524696>>29524697Something along these lines seems right, maybe with a supplementary question about whether or not superior conditioning would mitigate the danger posed by the spell, or if it's equally dangerous for everyone since people with greater physical abilities to begin with will still have those abilities amplified by the same multiplier as those with less training.
i forgot what boost doespls remind
>>29524725Which makes you a prat, prat.At least try to approach it from a more character-oriented angle.For instance, I like Marie. The reason why I like Marie is because I think the two have a great dynamic and would make a good match. I'm not going to go on about the benefits of being Prince Consort or whatever because it's fucking stupid to use a girl to get to power. Which is exactly what you're trying to insinuate by appealing to powergamers.
>>29524639What if instead of a nudge, we did some crazy scheme that only works in animes?I hope Reinhold can forge love letters
>>29524789BoostCost: 7MPElement: NoneIncantation:Effect: For a duration of three minutes, the caster's physical capabilities are increased by three times over, and is rendered immune to fatigue during this duration. However, the instant the spell wears off, the caster is hit with all of the fatigue accumulated during this time.
>>29524661"So I've been warned. Still, it sounds like it might be a decent ace in the hole for when things have hit rock bottom and someone's handing me a shovel. Rest assured, I don't intend to use it lightly. As for everything else, well, they just seemed handy to have until I can learn them."
>>29524789Powers up your strength and agility threefold for three minutes and unable to get fatigued. All the fatigue comes to you at once once the spell ends.
>>29524784>>29524803Fair enough. I concede to your collective opinions. I admit that I sounded like a prat, and would like to apologize for my prattish behavior. Allow me to delete my former posts to clean up the thread from offtopic arguments that lead to nowhere.
>>29524804I can't even imagine what a love letter made by Reinhold would look like>DEER NICOLETTE, ME LOVE YOU MUCH, AS MUCH AS SWORD, MAYBE MORE>FROM, MAID-PERSON
>>29524747So... use Boost all the time forever, ruining his body so badly that it actually loops over to making him like fifty million times better than before?
>>29524855That, and create a body made out of swords.
>>29524855We will be reborn of our ashes.
>>29524880>We have to sneak out of the castle for the night for something>Our decoy is a sword with a chin strapped to the crossguard.
>>29524803Actually, I find it funny that becoming a Prince Consort has been consistently listed as a positive thing. Don't you think Reinhold would want to go out into the world, explore and have adventures rather than be tied to a single state and constantly be hindered from taking real action be the politics of the moment? I'm not commenting on developing our relationship with Marie from professional to friendship to romantic, just that I think that relationship comes with complications and negative factors that the others (Lucianna semi-excluded, she has pleasantly of other siblings) don't.
>>29524813>>29524840thanks pgq <3
>>29524843A flawless plan
>>29524843>Not even Reinhold knows her name.
>>29524855What could possibly go wrong?
>>29524880no, we create a body made out of boosts
>>29524855>IT'S OVER 9000!!!!
>>29524843it won't be perfect, but it will be good.
>>29524855Yes.
>>29524913>You will never get to go on adventures with your Lancer Waifu ;_;
>>29524912Too subtle!!!
>>29524957I don't think I could handle Nico having Lancer Luck.
>>29524855That's the thing. Boost hits you when you're done.It can't hit you if you NEVER STOP CASTING IT.
>>29524855Meanwhile, in the Fantasy ICU:>"Reinhold, you could have killed yourself! What the hell were you thinking?" >"I found an eldritch foreign grimoire about a strange branch of magic called "programming", and I wanted to test out the principle it called "underflow.""
>>29524934harem rout is a go
>>29524913Reinhold hasn't really seemed to be the type to run off for adventure and regardless of he chooses he's still Marianne's bodyguard and still has to be with her.I can somewhat understand your point but it's made moot by our job and isn't entirely in-character as a concern. Reinhold actually seems to really like Granache and staying in the castle.
...ok, Why doesn't the maid have a character description in the pastebin and what is Nico's magical affinity?
>>29524995We need more mana first. And a way to cast in our sleep.
>>29524995All we need is Celestino-level magical reserves and a spell to delay sleeping and we're set for life.
>>29525020>...ok, Why doesn't the maid have a character descriptionBecause she doesn't have character>and what is Nico's magical affinity?We don't know.
>>29524988>About to confess to Melon>Stabbed in the back by assassins>Dying breath is spent watching them take away your long time crushMy heart can't take it anon
>>29525020>Nico's magical affinityWe never asked, it's not really something you do ask.I doubt she'd care but it's not like it's ever come up before.
>>29525020Why would she? All she does is serve us our breakfast, and she hasn't even been in any of the recent threads.
>>29524913Reinhold doesn't strike me as the questing type though. He places value on stability and routine and being prepared. He has a sense of humor, but he's not terribly spontaneous. If he runs off on a journey, it'd only be because he has a reason to.
>>29524957actually the key to adventure is celestino. if we convince him to let luci adventure she will (since she's said), which will lead to mari (who said she'd go as long as luci went), us (body guard mari), nico (do something impressive to earn the knight rank), sylvie (guarding friends/not leaving us alone with luci), dragon siblings (either hired on for extra muscle or just sticking with friends between official adventurer jobs), tina (goes where we go), and maybe even melon (can't have princesses getting salmonella eating a wild bird)
>>29525020Because she's actually the Spymaster, we don't have her full character sheet yet.And Nico's affinity is Lightning
>>29525012We could,, you know. Make a lust for adventure in-character by expressing those opinions. It's natural for him to change over time.
>>29525058>>29525058>I doubt she'd care but it's not like it's ever come up before.IIRC she has actually been purposefully concealing it.
>>29525056>Melon cheerfully kisses her assassin boyfriend in front of dying Nico
>>29524997captain obvious please
>>29525020>...ok, Why doesn't the maid have a character description in the pastebinI was in the middle of it when my laptop died a few months ago, I haven't gotten around to finishing it since. Sorry.>and what is Nico's magical affinity?The same as her mother's.
>>29525087>SpymasterThat would make a lot of sense actually.
>>29525088Or we could, you know, stick with what we got and play the guy who has just found a place to finally call home after a whole life of terrible shit.
>>29525125>>29525076Is there any possibility of this happening, archelon?
>>29525126well duh, everyone knows all maids are ninjas
>>29525087>Nico is LightningRULES OF NATURE
>>29525110Truly Rank E luck is suffering
>>29525087>>29525126She isn't serving Marie. She is training her in arts of intrigue.
>>29525099Yeah, just double-checked and I believe this is still the case.From thread 20:>"...oh yeah," you say, remembering something else. "If it's not prying or anything, do you know what affinities that the Princess or the other people here in the castle have?" you ask.>"That's not really a secret or anything," Sylvie replies. "The King, Princess Marianne, my mother, and pretty much everyone else in the royal family has had Water affinity. It's because we're all descended from Sivarios, I guess. Oh, but me and my sisters have Earth affinity because my father does and he's like really strong.">"Yeah, I can see that," you laugh nervously.>"And, um... Mr. Arnaud is Lightning, I think. And Sir Gregory is Wind. Nicolette won't tell me what her affinity is, though. And Mr Gerhard is, um..."
>>29525088Before this trip he said Granache Castle was just starting to feel like home? Why the fuck would he want to run off after just getting comfortable with where he lives?
>>29525131We could. I'm just saying that "it's not in-character" isn't a good argument.
>>29525125>The same as her mother's.And that was?
>>29525141Do you honestly think that Reinhold would be able to convince Celestino to do anything that he wasn't already meaning to do?
>>29525158I can just imagine Nicolette calling out in a deep Japanese announcer voice-"ERECTURIKKU SPERU~!!!!!!"As her lance shoots a giant bolt of lighting at her foe.
>>29525195if he became as awesome as Sir Gregory he could.
>>29525195are you saying celestino may already be planning this and is just waiting to see if we're a traitor?
>>29525177SEKRIT
>>29525203We just saw Gregory fail at convincing Celestino, man.
>>29525063what makes you say that? he won a competition and took the job because it's prestigious, well paying, and honestly, it'd be difficult to politely refusehis adoptive father and role model was an adventuring ass adventurer who threw away the noble life for ADVENTURE! I don't think we know enough about him to know that.
>>29525210Well ok then.
>>29525195We got Gregory to let us bake cakes with his wife on an unexpected house call.
>>29525203So, around thread 27,543 we will finally be going on an adventure?
>>29525235That happened because he thought embarassing Nico would be funny as hell.It was.
>>29525251Reinhold doesn't go on adventures.Adventures come to him.
>>29525235But Gregory kind of likes us and he was trying to help Nico spend time with her crushes.
i get rein liking having a home, but if we need a reason to adventure there is always going out and trying to find the sealed king volker died trying to get, if only to honor his memoryand then breaking the sealed king
so.... are we not questing today? or is today question and answers day
>>29525174And "we'll just change the character" isn't a good argument either. A person doesn't change their mind without a reason and so far I'm only seeing reasons to stick with not being all that interested. Maybe try and head out for a while if he can convince Marie to go but no reason why he would consider staying in one place for a long time a bad thing.Also, wanting to leave after one month of making new friends and reconnecting with family is a seriously dick move. Why do you think Marie snapped at us back when we were asking her about adventuring and going to different places in town? She though we were implying we wanted to leave already after just telling he Granache was feeling like home like 2 days ago.>>29525222He specifically said he had enough adventure back in the army and just wanted to settle down.
>>29525288Or an adventure to track down Adrien
>>29525288That actually sounds kind of intresting.I now wish that Reinhold would just quit the bodyguarding and go out to explore the world.
>>29525222Yeah. Because his dad HAD the life to throw away.Reinhold spent his childhood in a brothel owned by a drunkard then spent puberty moving with an army. The stability and luxury of castle life isn't something he had til this point. His life right now is the culmination of all he's worked for and he's not about to throw it away.You don't get turkey legs every night as an adventurer. You get dried food and hard tack.
>>29525333>I now wish that Reinhold would just quit the bodyguarding and go out to explore the world.not when his life is just starting to get good, only way it would happen is for >>29525288combined with>>29525076get the whole gang along
>>29524843Remember, forgery is opposed by forgery. And NOBODY takes forgery.
>>29525303when?
"The shopkeep said something similar," you reply. "But I wasn't planning on using it unless I got into some kind of messed-up situation where it was ABSOLUTELY necessary.""Oh. Good," Sylvie says, breathing a sigh of relief. "Just don't try and practice with that, I'll beat you up if I find out that you have. I mean, even Niklaus told me that relying on Boost is a stupid thing to do, and he's not exactly the most cautious person."Yeah... you'll need t o be EXTRA careful with this thing."What were the other spells you got?" Sylvie asks. "I thought you said Shade Guard...""Shade Guard, Morning Fog and Aurora Field," you reply."Hm. Those aren't too bad... I know that Sir Gregory likes to use Shade Guard, and Marianne learned Aurora Field back when she and Nicolette were taking magic lessons...">[1/?]
>>29525333That happens after we get fired from our job. We'll have to go retrieve the Sealed King, then return and save the kingdom-- even though we were the victim of some injustice at the royals' hands.
>>29525303When did I ever say the change would be rapid? It doesn't seem like a stretch at all for him to hear some tales of Volker and go "I want to do something like that someday" or any number of other reasons for him to develop a desire to adventure.
>>29525376Yeah, and Monique gets pretty good use from Aurora Field too. >Oh right, Reinhold can't hear us.
>>29525376>Aurora FieldOOC, that was Monique's "freeze the dragon" thing wasn't it?
>>29525395Yup.
>>29525378>the exiled bodyguard comes back just in time to defeat the big bad and save mari's lifeyes perfect
>>29525303Ok, since I'm probably the one that kicked this off I'm going to clarify my point of view. Rein hold clearly likes his job and life, but I don't think he wants to be permanently tied to Granache. I also think there's a serious dearth of upper-mid tier challenges for him to face, and I think he wouldn't be satisfied with that after a while.yes he has peers to practice and duel with, and pretty of strong teachers, but aside from routine duties what does her really have to accomplish there? Nah, at some point, probably in a few in-game years he's going to want to start doing the things that ultimately will form a lasting legacy. Not do the fame and fortune mind you (though that won't hurt), but because there are people to protect, monsters to be put down, wonders to discover and so many amazing things in this world.Do you really think he has no interest beyond his home's borders?
>>29525425guy who raped Marianne pls go
>>29525435The Sealed Kings just want a friend
>>29525435THE best swordsman lives in the same house as him so I don't think he'd need to leave or loosen his ties to Granache to pursue fighting strong opponents or getting better. Likely, he'd want to leave to find the Sealed King that Volker was after but I don't see any reason why he'd need to avoid getting tied down to a country to pursue his interests.
>>29525451>elemental within the sealed king hits it off with tinaeveryone's getting shipped
>>29525435>Do you really think he has no interest beyond his home's borders?I don't think he has a strong enough interest that being tied to a kingdom would be a fate he'd specifically try to avoid.
>>29525435I dont think he has strong feelings either way.Which means he'll not make a move to change the status quo.
>>29525478Since iI still seem to be failing to get my view across, can I ask what would prevent us from having a house in Granache, visiting friends and family there whenever we are around and going on adventures, some interconnected and likely multi-year in duration, frequently? I'm not dip saying we abandon our sister now that we finally found her (we're about to be an uncle for crying out loud) or our friends, just that we don't spend every moment in the local bubble. Plus long distance mpcommunication is a thing, so it's not like we're just going to jump off the face of existence from their point of view.
>>29525553how emblematic of the playerbase as a whole
>>29525376"Dunno why you got Morning Fog, but I can learn that one easy and then show it to you," Sylvie says, shrugging. "They mostly use it for special effects during plays and stuff."...really?" you ask."Yeah, for spooky smoke effects and that kind of thing."That's not exactly what you bought those scrolls for."But, umm..." Sylvie begins," I can show you how to use cast those other ones later, tonight was just healing spells, right?""Yeah, I should probably learn one of those before I really NEED to know one, you know?""Yeah, being prepared is part of your whole bodyguard thing," she nods.With your magic talk done for now, the two of you continue on your long trek through the castle and back to the area of the castle where your room are located. Just as you make it to that familiar hallway, you see Rana happily dragging Nicolette and Melanie into the suite that Nicolette and her father share.Wow, she's pushy.>[2/3]
>>29525561are job
>>29525561And my view is obviously not getting across because I'm asking what exactly is wrong, from Reinhold's point-of-view, of settling in Granache castle?Is it possible he has other interests? Yes. But he's not Thierri, or Luciana, or anyone else so thoroughly opposed with the idea of staying in one place.Even if he has other interests, being stuck in Granache isn't a fate he finds to be all that negative. Prince Consort is neither a positve or negative thing. It's something he'll be willing to take up if he decides he loves Marie and that's it. There's nothing wrong with your idea, it's just that you said earlier that Prince Consort was a negative thing when it really isn't at all from Reinhold's perspective.
>>29525595Can get upgraded to being an honorary position.
>>29525435>in a few in-game yearsWith the current pace of PGQ, a few in-game years will leave all the players (and archelon) buried for centuries. But yes, and especially this:>>29525561One day he will not be needed as a bodyguard any more, then he can go on extended adventures
>>29525591Anyone giving odds on Rana actively shipping the /u/boat?
>>29525611Ah, I see. Fair enough. I suppose Reinhold has shown enough patience to spend most of his time doing the legwork for Marie's policies to succeed.
>>29525648Nah, she'll ad both to her hoard.
>>29525591>[3/3]"Well, here we go..." Sylvie laughs nervously as she leads you over to her suite and opens the door. "I just need to get some books and stuff that I brought with me and then we can her started, go ahead and take a seat wherever you like, I won't be long," she says as she opens the door to her bedroom.>sit on the couch>sit at the table>follow Sylvie, she might nee help with something

>>29525738If we sat on the couch, she could sit next to her precious Reinhold. Sylvie would gladly give up practicallity for that.

Sylvie's getting books, so it'd probably be better to sit at the table... that couch -does- look nice and comfy, but it'd probably be harder to do stuff there. And you're not even going to consider following Sylvie into her bedroom and risking her beating the crap out of you for being improper.After a few minutes of waiting (and hearing what sounds like a bunch of books falling over), Sylvie everges from her bedroom while flipping through a thick book."Alright, here's the spell..." Sylvie says, taking a seat beside you at the table. "...okay, I remembered all the important stuff right after all!" she says with a relieved smile, placing the book down on the table. "Now before I start on the actual spells, I guess I ought to explain to you the rules of this kind of thing.""Uh, rules?" you ask. "Is there some kind of super important thing to keep in mind? I was expecting it to be something simple...">[1/?]
>>29526009We could have been a glorious Ice type like Monique ;_;
>>29526030It's K, anon. We can become sword golem with crystal golem waifu.
>>29526030There can't be too many Ice type in the world.A shame, though. Reinhold is supposed to be the chill one. What does he have in common with Metal, anyway?
>>29526059Sword
>>29526059He's inflexible and shiny.
>>29526030>>29526052>>29526059It occurs to me we haven't even seen a Steel type spell. We've only heard about the few Earth types that have their properties changed.
>>29526059Balls of Steel.
>>29526059Nothing, Anon just has extraordinarily poor taste, in both magic and waifus.
>>29526059Swords for one. Metal is hard, sharp, and unyielding. It's made stronger by being hit by a hammer. It holds a sharp edge.Reinhold straight up killed fuckers before he was 13, his shit life turned him into a pretty damn good swordsman. We calmly accept punishment.Reinhold is metal as fuck.
>>29526059I just realized that we took the 'Metal' affinity in the most boring direction possible.Maybe it isn't too late to salvage this situation.
>>29526121Think that's boring?Try this faggot. >>29526116
>>29526121We haven't taken it in ANY direction yet because we're still learning the basics like a good little boy. Patience.
>>29526116>>29526131It gives us the potential to become an unparalelled master of the Fucked Up Eschenwald style.
>>29526140>PatienceThe entire Quest could be like that and not much would change.Patience.
>Baaaw, I want a new toy!>but you haven't even played with the toy you have!>That one's boring! I want the one that the kid next door has!
>>29526121Cue Iron Man.
>>29526158Thank god. I'm enjoying the present.
>>29526059Steel is hard on it's own, but is reasonably flexible in different conditions. It can be made into a shield to protect or a sword to attack. You can work it with wood or clay to support or bind together something larger than itself. Steel is ubiquitous because it doesn't break but it takes direction well.Just like Reinhold. His life beat him and tempered him and made him tough, but he still took direction from Volker and fell into line with the military. He protects primarily, but he's handy in any fight. If you hit him hard, he doesn't shatter like stone or crystal so much as just bend a bit and keep going. Heck, with a bit of altering he fit into the entire dynamic of the castle seamlessly in about a weeks time.Stone just can't do that. You can't make armor out of rocks, and weapons aren't as durable or wieldy. You can't make precision tools out of most stones and even those get blunt or crack too quickly to be of lasting use. If you hit a stone tomahawk instead of an iron axe, it'll crack and bits will come off of it and may ruin the whole thing.
>>29526022"No, it's just a general guideline for healing spells," Sylvie replies, adjusting her glasses. "So, umm... you have to be super careful about these since you can accidentally make things worse if you cast the wrong spell on the wrong place and all of that stuff.""I didn't think that they were specific use," you reply, shrugging."They're not... for the most part, anyways. There's a spell specifically for broken bones and one for burns and that kind of thing, but general-type spells work just fine so I never saw the point.""Anyways, it's when you have stuff like broken bones that you need to be careful, that and puncture wounds, severed tendons, uh... well, injuries where something's not where it's supposed to be." Sylvie explains. "Cst a healing spell on a place with a severed tendon without trying to reattach it first, it'll heal with the tendon still severed. Cast something on a stab wound with the thing that stabbed you still in there, it'll heal around the foreign object, that kind of thing.""Ugh... yeah, I get what you mean now," you reply, wincing as you imagine the situations that Sylvie's taking about.>[2/3]
>>29526059He doesn't HAVE to have anything in common with Metal, because magical affinities don't have anything to do with personal outlook or upbringing. From what we know, they're determined by almost completely heredity, whether genetic (for parents who already have magic of their own) or inherited from the ambient magic of your place of birth.This is interesting to note because our being given the opportunity to select Reinhold's magical affinity meant we were more or less retroactively changing details about the circumstances surrounding Reinhold's birth.>>29526194>"Cast a healing spell on a place with a severed tendon without trying to reattach it first, it'll heal with the tendon still severed"...I don't think healing spells understand what "healing" actually means.
>>29526292No, it confirmed that Reinhold's biological parents weren't anyone important.Otherwise they would have had magic types already.
>>29526292You've never seen a bone mend while it was fractured out of place? Your own body doesn't understand what healing actually means.
>>29526292See>>29526313The body can't mend absolutely everything perfectly. archelon's setting has a very reasonable take on healing magic.
>>29526310How so? He was born in Granache, which is Water, the fact that he's Metal means that one of his parents had pretty good magical proficiency in a rare element otherwise he'd have been Water too.
>>29526328The royal family is water.
>>29526328Not everyone in the entire damn country has water affinity. That's stupid.
>>29526292magic, and your body, have no concept of the need for things to be a certain shape, balance, whatever.They follow directions and in the case of healing the direction is 'join these broken things back together' essentially. if your upper armbone happened to be 2 inches to the side at the time...well it won't move it, is what I'm saying.
>>29526292I presume a healing spell for tendons and such would be in two parts: First to hold the broken pieces together and then second to heal themLike fixing broken pottery.
>>29526194>[3/3]"Probably the most worrisome are broken bones, since that's the most common thing you need to worry about," Sylvie begins. "You have to make ABSOLUTELY SURE that the bones are set before casting a spell that affects bones, since it'll end up healing wrong otherwise. There's actually some really sick people out there who'll break people's legs and then heal them wrong just out of spite...""That's pretty screwed up," you reply. "It goes past just messing them up...""Yeah," Sylvie nods. "But, umm... that's pretty much all of what I wanted to tell you so you don't have to worry about any more horror stories from me.""That's a relief," you say with a goofy smile in an attempt to add some levity."Alright, then!" Sylvie claps her hands together and looks directly at you. "Since I don't want to keep you up too late and risk affecting your duel tomorrow... and I also don't want to inconvenience Melanie too much, we have enough time for you to learn one spell." "Refresh is a general-use spell that heals minor scrapes and cuts and bruises, that kind of thing... it's not too strong a healing spell and won't fix broken bones or anything like that, but it affects the target's entire body," Sylvie says."And then there's Healing Grace, I used that on you like the second day we met," Sylvie says, blushing slightly. "That one's stronger than Refresh and it'll fix stuff up to minor fractures, but it only affects a specific area when it's cast.">pick Refresh>pick Healing Grace>needs more information first
>>29526348More like reach into the body with sanitized tweezers and jam that shit back in place, then cast a spell. Or at least so I imagine.
>>29526328Or, his parents came from somewhere else.And/or he was born outside Granache and dumped on the doorstep of the brothel on the way through the country. Or something.
>>29526342That the area has an affinity is why the elemental spirit settled there. ... Or maybe it's the other way around. Point is, the area has a bias.
>>29526356>>pick Healing Grace
>>29526356>pick Healing Grace
>>29526342It was said that people who don't inherit from their parent have the elemental affinity of the ambient energy where they live. Granache has Water as that affinity. The fact that Reinhold has Metal means his parents were strong enough Metal mages to pass it down.
>>29526356Healing Grace
>>29526361The spirit has an affinity, as so its descendants. The whole country itself doesn't have the affinity.
>>29526356>pick Refresh
>>29526310That is if you are thinking chronologically, in character. Meta-wise our lineage was not created until we selected our affinity. For all we know now, the metal-blob elemental in that story could be an ancestor of ours; a lonely soul that took the image of the first being he saw, and was magnificent.
>>29526356Take Healing graceMarianne can suffer some minor scrapes and a bit of tiredness, but if we need to fix that arrow in her gut problem post haste, we want the big stuff.This is a hypothetical situation of course.
>>29526356Healing Grace is more useful. Refresh isn't going to fix anything you couldn't just deal with anyway.
>>29526356>Healing GraceRefresh is good, but we need to be capable of
>pick RefreshCan we use a healing spell after training to not feel like shit? Or does that undermine the training?
>>29526356>pick Healing GraceMinor scrapes and bruises you can live with, a sprained ankle when you need to RUN RUN RUN can be fatal.
>>29526371Yes it does.http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/27525958/#p27531578"Okay. Ummm... that's right. Affinities," Sylvie mumbles, adjusting her glasses. "Umm, magical energy comes in several different types. There are a bunch of different basic elements, and researcher people separate them by 'Sun' and 'Moon' categories. Basically, the entire planet lets off a background amount of magical energy, and different places have different elemental types," she says, getting in the groove of explaining things."That's actually what most of the Old Kings decided the boundaries of their kingdoms would be, but never mind that... um... oh yeah!" she says, clapping her hands. "So normal non-magicusing people are born with the affinity of whatever element the land they were born in has, but strong magicusers have a larger presence so their kids tend to be the same type as they are. It usually skews on the side of the mother since she's the one who's carrying the baby, but that's basically how that works.">and different places have different elemental types,
>>29526313>>29526325I wasn't trying to say that this was unrealistic, just that it was amusing.The reason I mentioned that part in particular is that, for something like a ruptured tendon, I don't know how you're supposed to make sure it's aligned properly before casting your healing spells, aside from cutting the area open and physically putting them back in contact with one another. I would have expected that to be something that the healing spell would extrapolate for the caster.The broken bones part is entirely reasonable, though.>>29526356>pick Healing GraceMore useful to be able to heal more serious injuries and to merely be inconvenienced when you have to manage minor injuries than the other way around.
>>29526328type is determined by parents favoring mother, not country>>29526356>>pick Healing Gracewe can deal with nicks and scrapes, it's deep wounds we have to worry about
>>29526407>"That's actually what most of the Old Kings decided the boundaries of their kingdoms would beSo Marconetti is water too then, since they were one realm back in the Old King days.
>>29526356>>pick Refresh
>>29526407Interesting stuff, actually.It pains me that we're probably never going to get to see half the setting. Or, at least, I'll probably be in the ground from old age before we get there.
>>29526422 Luciana is light if I recall....
>>29526356>Healing GraceMinor scrapes, bruises, and cuts are things that can wait. Fractures and gashes are things that can get you killed.
>>29526442One would assume a royal lineage is magical enough to drown out the background alignment.
>>29526442As is Celestino.
>>29526442>"But I'm sorry to tell you that mine is actually even rarer than that..." she giggles. "Just as my name would suggest, my affinity is Light, just like Father!"This is due to inheriting it from her father, who is a mage on par with Nicolette's mother.
>People not realizing that the country you live in determines your affinities if you have no prior background, UNLESS your parents/your ancestor came from somewhere else and had some power of their ownThe two sources aren't mutually exclusive at all.
>>29526407I presume there is some wiggle room to account for genetic flukes and such.
>>29526463The whole reason we got to pick our own element was because our lineage was ambiguous. Gaining a rare element over a genetic fluke is more snowflake than your mom being a pretty good mage.
>>29526457Luci's mother was Gregory's sister. He should have their line's element, remember. Mother takes precedence.
Question, just to satisfy my idle curiosity since we're on the subject.Is it possible for localized areas have a different affinity than the region around it (like say Fire in the area near an active volcano or something like that), or are the regional affinities just big homogenous blobs?
>>29526499>Mother takes precedence.Not an absolute precedence. Obviously her mom wasn't a super strong mage.
>>29526482What I want to know is if Arch was planning to vary Volker's abilities depending on our element. You can't tell me it's a coincidence that he's called Swordbreaker and we're Metal.
>>29526525How is that not a coincidence? He uses swords as a swordsman, not a mage.
>>29526518Considering Granache's borders were decided by the affinity and it was a water elemental that ruled it before I kind of doubt it.
>>29526422>So Marconetti is water too then, since they were one realm back in the Old King days.Yup!>>29526463>I presume there is some wiggle room to account for genetic flukes and such.The child of a water-aligned family can randomly shift to Ice, same for Earth to Metal.That's actually Monique's deal, his brothers and parents all have Granache's base Water affinity.And in even more unlikely situations, children of Darkness affinity have been born ot Light-aligned families, but that's a super rarity IN a super rarity.
>>29526525>Guy is a swordsman, but is ridiculously stronk and too lazy to properly sword, so he's constantly breaking shit>Because Reinhold has metal magic?Not seeing the connection.
>>29526525Yeah I can. Him breaking swords isn't related to Metal at all, he was just a swordsman who hit things real hard and they broke. Anyone can break swords if you hit them hard enough.
>>29526550>And in even more unlikely situations, children of Darkness affinity have been born ot Light-aligned families, but that's a super rarity IN a super rarity.I guess you could say they're the black sheep of the family.
So when are we going to get ambushed by that vampire that's been stalking us since the first thread?
>>29526525We broke Monique's sword before our element was decided.He's the Swordbreak because he breaks swords and so do we.
>>29526554Well he was constantly breaking swords.He beat his down, and we adopted his sloppy style.We've been using the same sword for a decade.MAGIC MOTHERFUCKERS.
>>29526537Not really seeing how small patches of not-water would affect the border in any way if the region at large was predominantly water. I don't think your logic tracks.
>>29526562We're alone with her RIGHT NOW
>>29526550Calling it now. Chiara is pure DARKNESS.
>>29526550So it's possible Mom or Pop was an Earth mage instead of Metal?
>>29526562You mean Sylvie? Vampires are ginger, everyone knows that.
>>29526564The whole reason Volker had the sword and prized it was because it was the only one strong enough to withstand his style.
>>29526563Are you sure about that? When's the first time we heard about the sword breaking? The first time I remember was Monique's first pov, and that was weeeeell after we picked Reinhold's element.
>>29526573She's a Berserker, obviously.But why does she always say "bah bah"?
>>29526564Because we aren't as RIDICULOUSLY STRONK as Volker yet, sure we've broke a few, but we aren't on his level, and his sword was actually MADE to withstand his shit, wasn't it?
>>29526597Bah ZAA KAA
>>29526611These feelsI feel them returning
>>29526598He got his unbreakable (now our unbreakable) sword pretty late - before that his MO was basically strapping a barrel of swords to his back and picking a new one when he broke his old sword. Which is why he started searching for a sword that wouldn't break.I suspect part of the reason we break swords is also because our sword is something special, but mainly it's been indicated to be because of Volker's Sword Smash style.

>>29526634Carryinga round and breaking that many swords with pure, human strength is already in the realm of fantasy, unless the materials are low quality or that's just the result of magically strengthened blades clashing against each other. Volker was just strong and didn't give a crap, Reinhold didn't know any better, so it's probably a fluke that he's breaking swords at all. He broke Monique's heirloom rapier with a broadsword, which isn't difficult. Dumb of Monique to even clash with a blade like that in the first place, but Reinhold's style is apparently mixed strength and finesse, whatever that means.
>>29526713I never got all the endings, but I never got all the bad ends either :/I had a pretty good run all things considered, got bad end that one time with rider because OVEREAGER and wanting to save my command spells.After I beat all the routes to good end/true end I looked at the several days I'd spent playing it instead of doing work and decided I'd rather not fail my finals.

"I guess I'll pick Healing Grace," you say. "From what you said, it'd be more useful in a pinch, like if Marianne suddenly got injured or something.""Can't disagree with that," Sylvie replies, smiling at you before flipping through her book. "Just let me look up the exact words, I have a tendency to change them to suit myself when I use a spell a lot, and I want to make sure you learn it right.""Uh... you change the words?" you ask. "I didn't even know you could do that and still have the spell even work.""You know, switching one word or phrase with another that fits the image in my mind better," Sylvie replies as she continues to look through her book. "It's no big deal."For her to just casually change spells around to suit her better without having any change in effect is pretty impressive... just a simple misunderstanding of one word was enough to have Clay Spread not work as it should, so you can't even start to figure out how to do what she's talking about.>[1/?]
>>29526738I think Volker's style of swordplay just generally lends itself to breaking a sword, likely because he applies his force in a 'wrong' way during strikes.Gets the job done, but if the opponent tries to parry he'll quickly realize his mistake as his wrist doesn't bend in the way he expected and his sword starts to warp.And Rain just picked up his style without knowing it was wrong, and had a badass enough sword he wouldn't even realize something was wrong.
>>29526773He's so close to realizing the incantation doesn't matter. So close.
>>29526773Son, it's just like math. Or programming. There are many ways to get the job done.
>>29526797>had a major math test today>had NO idea how to prove one of the things I was asked to prove the way they intended>found another wayNow if only I'd had another half an hour I could have done that on the last one too.
>>29526738>Reinhold's style is apparently mixed strength and finesse, whatever that means.If he were a career duelist rather than an 'actual' swordsman, it would probably be something like saber fencing.
>>29526796'I am the bone of my sword' is inevitable at this rate.
>>29526821>inb4 the TA doesn't understand what you did and marks it wrong anyway

>>29526738I thought it was more like a scottish broadsword.
>>29526847 from what I have seen it seems to be an arming sword that reinhold uses
>>29526844All Reinhold's incantations will be based on swords and fencing, even the healing spells.
>>29526847Last time this topic came up, the one that looked like it made the most sense was a katzbalger, but again, it's probably just some sort of amalgamation of real-world swords, given that this is a fictional setting.

"Here's the incantation, read it over a few times before we begin, okay?""No problem," you say as you slide the book towards yourself and read the spell's words."The light within my soul is as the sun, shining down upon all who suffer and delivering unto them this Healing Grace."Seems pretty straightforward... you think."You said that you weren't the most religious guy before so it might be a little bit confusing," Sylvie says, watching your expression as you read. Grace like the grace of God, you know? Protecting from sin and all that stuff.""...oh," you reply. "I think I get it... but how am I supposed to test it out? I'm not hurt at all."Seriously, there's no way to figure out if you're casting the thing properly without a target to actually use it on."I'll take care of that," Sylvie says as she sticks a finger in her mouth and bites down HARD on the tip.>how do you react?
>>29527034>"OH JESUS FUCKING FANTASY CHRIST JESUS CHRIST FUCKING CHRIST WHAT THE FUCK"
>>29527034Oh boy here we go.
>>29527034"You know, I'm the one learning the spell, you don't need to do that."

>>29527034>how do you react?
>>29527049This. It's just a finger injury, no need to freak the fuck out but seriously, a bit too far.
>>29527034Sylvie confirmed for M
>>29527034"You didn't need to go that far for me."Then try and heal it.
>>29527034>>29527060Yes.Let the spaghetti flow.
>>29527049>>29527080These.
>>29527034Try to heal
>>29527049Dis.
>>29527034You really didn't need to injure yourself on my behalf. Then heal it.
>>29527080This
>>29527034"Sylvie, please never do that again.I'd rather it be me that got hurt for my education."
>>29527060We're supposed to heal it with the spell. Do you want her to hurt herself again?
>>29527034Without missing a beat "The light within my soul is as the sun, shining down upon all who suffer and delivering unto them this Healing Grace."
>>29527060yesdo itdo it nowThis is gloriousAlso bloody hell Sylvie no, if you want to break a finger break Reinholds. You gotta be kidding me teach.
>>29527080This.
>>29527034"...Is this how you were taught the spell?"
>>29527105This is literally the first time rein is going to cast the spell. It's not going to be his gut reaction.
>>29527049>>29527080These.>>29527060Not this.
>>29527123It could be, if you pansies weren't voting to freak out.
>>29527123So putting her bleeding and/or broken finger in his mouth would be?
>>29527034Overreact mildly at first, then after it sinks in like a second or two later, something along the lines of>>29527049>>29527080Then get to the healing. The sooner we learn how to cast the spell, the sooner her finger's not injured anymore, naturally."Is this seriously what happens every time someone has to learn a healing spell?How does anyone ever learn the REALLY complicated stuff?"
>>29527034>>29527047Sylvie and Luciana are outright going to murder each other for the chance to teach us the big healing spells, aren't they?
>>29527060[x] Make it happenThe too cold reactions don't do it.This is a friend getting hurt on his behalf.
>>29527123I don't think putting the finger in his mouth will be the gut reaction either. This is literally the fucking reason she bit herself for.Regardless, it's a very small wound, nothing to freak out and lose your head over.
>>29527135That is the standard reaction for a cut on the hand.
>>29527080This sounds fine.
>>29527060this is retarded. don't do this.>>29527080this
>>29527151Yes. When it's your own hand.
>>29527151If it's your own finger. It's her finger.
>>29527151but she just GOT the cut from her mouth, anonymous! mouths are dangerous!
>>29527148It's not the small wound thing and more a friend getting hurt on his behalf.That will set rein off.
>>29527034No! Don't hurt yourself for my sake, not ever.
>>29527103ThisReinhold is the one learning the spell, he should be the one to deal with the pain.Heal herthen have her bite our finger so we can practice
Jesus christ, putting someone else's finger in your mouth is not a standard reaction.
>>29527168Yes, it will set him off. But it won't make him freak out over the wound itself and forget why it was made.As you just said, it's her being hurt on his behalf. Not the wound.
>>29527060Sure, let there be blood. I agree with this. This I find funny.
>>29527168Precisely. He isn't freaking out about the wound but why it's made. He wouldn't lose his reason trying to treat it.
Guys, I'm voting for the finger to mouth too, but don't get it twisted.This is pure, unadulterated fanservice and hilarity route.Don't try and validate it or you just look stupid.Do it for the laughs, do it for enjoyment, do it for the PLOT PROGRESSION. But if you try and sell it as an obvious reaction anyone but your mother would take, nobody's gonna buy it.
>>29527203>reaction anyone but your mother would takeMy mother would call me an idiot for doing that to myself and then shoo me off to take care of it.
>>29527060Supporting this
>>29527174>Reinholdafterthegirlskilleachotheroverhim.jpg>>29527187Maybe it is for Reinhold. Imagine Marianne's reaction if he tries that on her.
>>29527219She would probably take it more neutrally than Sylvie.

"Now hurry uhp 'n cash dhe spell.""Uh, sure thing," you say as you quickly glance over the incantation in the book one last time. "Could you stick out your finger for me?""'kay," she says as she does as you ask, taking care to hold her finger over the table so she doesn't get blood on the carpet.""The light within my soul is as the sun..." you chant, concentrating AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE as glowing Script the same color as Sylvie' blood forms around you, "...shining down upon all who suffer and delivering unto them this Healing Grace.">roll 1d20

You hold your hand out over Sylvie's bleeding finger, a soft light emanating from it. After a few seconds, it disappears and Sylvie's finger isn't bleeding anymore!Thank God!"It's a bit tender, but nice going!" Sylvie says as she licks the remaining blood off of her finger and produces a handkerchief with which to wipe off the table."Uh... thanks," you say as you watch her do what she's doing. "Uh... there's some around your mouth...""Oops!" giggles as she licks away the blood that had dribbled out of her mouth while her finger was in it. "Did I miss any?""No, you're good.""Well..." Sylvie says, drying the saliva off of her fingers and mouth, "...since you got it right the first time, I guess I don't have to bite myself again!""Please don't," you reply, shuddering."It wasn't a big deal, it didn't even hurt all that much," she laughs.

>>29527607Honestly it's a Nisio work, It wasnt that big of a surprise.
>>29527607>one solid episode of fightingSounds kinda boring, honestly.
>>29527607>Being pissed about episode 4>The same episode where best girl had screen time.

>>29527628To add to this these ninjas where actually pretty competent too.
>>29527614the fight went on during episode 4, but what we saw was something else namelyREAL SPOILERS his sociopathic semi demonic sister massacring an entire team of some of the best ninjas in the world single handed like it was nothing by perfectly stealing all of their moves and then killing them with their own techniques after only seeing them once still cool in it's own right, but not what we were promised
>>29527507This please.>>29527535
>>29527614Just to troll people. The preview made a big deal about it (the guy he was fighting was supposedly THE STRONGEST), but the episode just skips it for something completely different and later we get to hear them talk for like three lines about how super fucking awesome the off-screen fight was.
>>29527562That's actually a good question, I'd like to know that too.
>>29527622it's about being lied to
>>29527642>Once.Twice for that one guy. Once for Edward scissor hands.

>>29527562>running away from slyvie.Actually why are people wanting to buzz off anyway? This is like the best situation to talk to her about things since she is alone and all.
>>29527683I think the blood drinking weirded them out.
>>29527683Because she's fucking fucked, bro.
>>29527693>>29527683Because VAMPIRE CONFIRMEDPlus Reinhold was actually pretty put off by it.
>>29527683Hell that wasn't even that hardcore I remember one time my dad decided to take some tissue samples to look under a microscope later so he ripped half of one of his finger tips off with a knive.
>>29527683Because we're beta as fuck.
>>29527693Weirded out by Luciana killing someone, weirded out by Sylvie drinking blood. Do they just hate girls being cool?
>>29527683I'm pretty sure a big reason is because the way Archelon named the action was really funny.
>>29527683we've been up since like 6 am, have had to deal with a party for the last several hours, and have to wake up early to go to grandmas and make it back for our duel
reinhold is on his way to being a paladinwe just need smite evil
>>29527683This>>29527713
>>29527693>blood drinking weirded them out./tg/ I am disappoint. Not developing spontaneous boners from a girl drinking her own blood. I don't even know anymore.
>>29527736But if she drinks blood, that means she'll drink the blood out of our boner! And we won't have a boner anymore!
>>29527736what we feel and what rein feels are two different things. for example, i did not feel peaches
>>29527683I dunno. I used to have warts on my wrist, so my dad took his pocket knife and removed them.Another time a piece of skin on my big toe came loose, so I tried to peel it, and it ended up tearing a long strip out of my toe. You know when you get a hangnail and try to pull it, but it just takes more and more skin, and it starts bleeding more and more? Like that, but on my toe. So I took some nail clippers and chopped at it until I had removed the offending flesh, put a bandaid on it and went to work.I don't see how a bloody finger is an issue.
>>29527749>first katanagatari>now lotte no omochai'm loving /tg/'s taste tonight
>>29527749That's why you keep her preoccupied with your neck instead. That way boner can do as boner does best while blood drinking girl can do as blood drinking girl does best.
>>29527752Do you even autosuggestion? My hands are still soft from the contact.
>>29527788>Do you even autosuggestion? do i what>My hands are still soft from the contact.contact with what?
>>29527752>>29527794>Not having the imagination required for visualising and imagining the sensations as they are describedYou live in a dark world
>>29527693Its really not that weird when you think about it, so that logic confuses me. Its not like it hurts anything and it's an easy way to clean up if she didn't have a towel at hand.I mean when you cut your finger or something, isn't putting it in your mouth so blood doesn't drip everywhere standard procedure? Now if she was just drinking blood left and right it would be a different issue. A much sexier issue.
>>29527795but i don't know what any woman's peaches feel like. what am i supposed to compare them to?
Er, yeah. Time to go.But first, you might as well get a few questions in..."Uh... does this do anything about infection?" you ask. "Like if I have to use my hands to set a wound but I didn't have time to clean them... could that mess things up?""Not unless it was already infected to begin with, Healing Grace isn't strong enough to heal those," Sylvie replies. Once you cast the spell, that's it.""And, um..." you say as you get up from the table, "what are the upper limits on what you can heal with magic, anyways?" "It goes all the way up to regenerating limbs," Sylvie replies. "I saw Mr. Niklaus grow a new hand once after he spilled acid all over his old one... I nearly fainted just from watching," Sylvie says with a nervous laugh. "What you have to do to prepare is kind of complicated though, I could explain it to you if you want...""Maybe later, it's getting kind of late," you say as you head towards the door. Thanks for the lesson, though...""You're leaving already?" Sylvie says, looking rather disappointed. "I guess you do need to get your rest..." she pouts. "Umm, I'm gonna be waking up early tomorrow morning, so you can stop by before you head to your grandma's if you want...""If I have the time, sure," you reply. "See you tomorrow.""Goodnight!" Sylvie says, forcing a smile as you leave her room.>[1/?]
>>29527795>that picture>Giancarlo.jpg
>>29527811>Spoiler textMy brother. Let me give you a manly non homo hug.
>>29527820>forcing a smileinb4 she cries herself to sleep too
>>29527820>regenerating limbs>we fail to conceptualize the script
>>29527851Sucks to be her. I'm not guilted enough to vote to visit her in the morning.
>>29527854It'll grow on the chin and get in the way when we're dancing.
I could totally see Reinhold growing a sword-arm because he sees it as an extension of himself or something, causing him to fuck up the spell.
>>29527820>"I saw Mr. Niklaus grow a new hand once after he spilled acid all over his old one..."Still bes mage.
>>29527854that's not a sword
>>29527856Me neither. She ain't the kind of ho we want to be messing around with.
Damn. I guess I'm too late to suggest asking if there are spells to un-freeze yourself when hit by a thing like what Marianne hit us with.Because reasons.Preferably something with a shockwave effect that would daze surrounding opponents while we regain composure.
>>29527886Unless we can shatter the ice by vibrating our chin it's going to sort of stop us from incanting.
>>29527854>implying this won't happen after we Boost one too many times and attempt to heal ourselves afterwards
>>29527877not really a fan of sylvie but that is rather harsh
>>29527820>>29527565Archelon, please disregard all such >COBRA! RETREAT! answers in the future. I think people forgot about the daily reminder. Sylvie is a friend. We talk to friends, rather than be autistic and anti-social.
>>29527877>Not wanting to mess with the Sylvie.;_; I honestly went from pretty neutral to her to liking her after this one.
>>29527919I'm sorry, but the chomping was a bit much.
>>29527919Fuck off. Not every vote against your waifu is because of some conspiracy against her. I would imagine a lot of people just want to get to the next day already.
>>29527820>[2/2]While you really appreciate the lesson, DEAR GOD WHAT.But no matter, it's time to head back to your suite.

Opening the door to your suite, you're somewhat surprised to find that Marianne's not in yet... she must still be with her father. After a nice, LONG yawn, you do a few stretches to try and get rid of the stiffness from today's stress before falling on your bed and drifting off to sleep.Finishing off a cup of tea, Luciana sighs as she looks out of her bedroom window. Tonight is quite the romantic night, perfect to be enjoyed out on her balcony... though those worthless bastards ruined that for her.Just thinking about it makes her blood boil.And then her attempt at spending some more time was foiled by Sylvie. While she'd thought at first that her attempt at intimidating the meek girl worked, that assumption was proven false......but that just means that Luciana needs to ramp up her attempts to appeal to him. No worries, she's going to win in the end.And after Father sees his gallantry during tomorrow's duel, he's certain to recognize him as a potential suitor!>[1/?]
>>29527703no, i actually just don't like all the girls.
>>29528017Damnit, Luci. You're going overboard. Listen to your mom.
>>29528017What could possibly be so interesting about Luciana going to sleep, unless there's PLOT PROGRESSION.

>>29528017>LucianaOh baby, time for the second best girl.First is Marianne.

>>29528017Best girl.
>>29528033Obviously she is going to plan something to ensure we win the duel so we can be considered as a suitor.
I think this just proves that Dragon Waifu is the best girl
>>29528054If she does, we kick her ass for that. Seriously.
>>29528051I don't know why THAT isn't the official portrait.
>>29528017>And after Father sees his gallantry during tomorrow's duel, he's certain to recognize him as a potential suitor!Luci you're killing us! Maybe literally!Oh god the delicious SUFFERING when we accidentally press all of Celestino's Shadowrun buttons, and Luci thinks he's going to invite Rein to marry her and instead he publicly accuses him of being a traitor with his seemingly insurmountable mountain of (circumstantial) evidence.
>>29528041>not marrying both Marie and Lucy and uniting the two kingdomsSURELY at least Celestio sees the merit in this?
>>29528058Like we would ever be able to find out IC.
>>29528066Not this shit again.
>>29528066not legal in granache and arch has ruled out haremi've thought about it too anon
>>29528054I'm sure she's got at least enough trust in us that she won't do something so stupid. And hopefully she's smart enough to realize that pulling a fast one on her dear old paranoid dad isn't the best idea.
>>29528057as seen from the majority of people here, she's probably on the bottom of the list.maid will probably win unless she does something masculine.
>>29528066Harem is haram.To be honest, Luciana's subtle yandere strikes me as more horrifying than the much more straightforward Sylvie variety.
>>29528041But Marianne isn't a violent, psychopathic golem.
>>29528064Where does everyone get the idea that Celestino is a bad person? He may be a sexist or whatever, but he's not evil or underhanded. Thieri and Greg would kick his ass.
>>29528079Sorry bro...she thinks she's smarter than her dad.She's a teenage girl. She doesn't just think she knows better, she knows she knows better.I mean...c'mon. Everyone else basically acts their age, and Luciana isn't some scheming exception.
>>29528091>more horrifyingso better
>>29528096Never said he was a bad person, but as we saw when Greg had his little argument with him he's Shadowrunning really fucking hard right now.
>>29528096Because Shadowrunning makes people uncomfortable.I think the dude's alright. Most of his concerns are fairly reasonable from his position.
>>29528079You never know. Love makes you do crazy things.
>>29528064>>29528096I'm surprised there aren't any "Zone of Truth" spells.Seriously. We have Sanctuary, which makes a person and everyone around them essentially unkillable.Is it that much of a stretch to think that lie detection/prevention is a thing?
>>29528096He's just a paranoid nigga, nothing wrong with that.>>29528091Sylvie is just way too boring man.Luciana is at least exciting.
Arch how much longer do I have to wait for BERZERKER spellDoes the script only reveal itself after all our new friends save our chosen waifu are soiled/murdered
>>29528096But that scenario is something that might actually happen if events conspire against us. Doesn't make him a bad person, people become the tragic victims of horrible misunderstandings all the time. He'd probably even feel bad afterwards if he learned he made a mistake.
>>29528017But now isn't the time to fret about romantic matters, Luciana still has that grimoire that Sylvie helped her decipher to read through. There's no telling what knowledge it holds......and now she's feeling kind of guilty about trying to steal Reinhold away from the Sylvie, seeing as how she was kind enough to help her with this book even AFTER her declaration of war.KNOCK KNOCKWonderful, a distraction from that little attack of guilt! Perhaps Marianne has come for a late-night visit... or maybe even Reinhold, having reconsidered her offer......and she opens her door to reveal the stern face of her loyal bodyguard, Takamaru.Great."Good evening," Luciana says as she puts on her best smile. "I thought I said that you were dismissed for the night...""You did indeed," Takamaru replies. "And I decided to use my free time to go hunting for -certain people-...""Oh," Luciana replies, her expression instantly turning as stern as her father's. "Come in, it's best not to talk about this kind of thing where someone may be eavesdropping...""As you wish," Takamaru replies.>[2/?]
>>29528096I don't think really think he is a bad person just old fashioned and has a bit of a paranoia issue. Then again god knows how old he is. He might be paranoid because he has lived through 100 years worth of assassination attempts.
>>29528122Some sort of temporary geas would also be effective, so those probably don't exist either, or they're all permanent.
Rolled 11>>29528128C'mon anon, you already know the scriptGRIFFIIIIIIIIIIITH
>>29528128You meant to say "all of our new friends are killed and our chosen waifu soiled", right?
>>29528123Oh, Lucie is exciting all right. Too much for my tastes, although I can see how one could find her appealing.Although I wouldn't call the little female paladin boring. It would be interesting to see her and Nico on the adventure.
>>29528091Lucianna is getting desperate
>>29528147The only reason Celestino wants to marry her off is because he knows she's got serious power behind the throne potential. Goddamn.
>>29528152Well, just look at sanctuary. It makes a zone where you can't intentionally cause harm. Totally prevents the people in it from getting hurt.Why couldn't there be a spell that prevents dishonesty within a zone?
>>29528159>>29528157A man can dream cant he?inb4 entire intro is rein in a coma then he wakes up and its time to go a huntin
>>29527920Then you are easily guilted. I don't hate Sylvie, but man, you guys fall easily for quivering bottom lips.
>>29528171Harm is a lot easier to conceptualize than lying.
>>29528128Monique is going to use it after he gets prodded just a tad more.
>>29528147After letting Takamaru in, Luciana makes sure that the door is closed tightly behind him. She then takes a seat on a nearby chair and turns to him."I assume that you wouldn't have mentioned that unless a new development had occurred..." Luciana says."Yes," Takamaru replies. "My shikigami located another person related to yesterday's attackers, and I tailed him for some distance without being seen...""...did you catch him?" she asks."Unfortunately, I was forced to slay him before I was able to retrieve any information," he says, shaking his head."Damn," Luciana replies, scowling. "What, he noticed you?""Not at all," Takamaru says. "But while I was in the midst of pursuit, he ran off...""...ran off?""Yes, and then he attacked Monique Gilbeault, who had already encountered and slain another of their group on the roof of a nearby building.""What!?" Luciana shouts, slapping her hands on the arms of her chair. "HE'S involved in this now!?"God damn it... Reinhold and Karel are one thing, but -that man- isn't someone who she considers trustworthy at all.>[3/?]
>>29528184It's obviously got more to do with religious beliefs than the harm. Any schmuck can conceptualize harm, but only religious people can cast sanctuary.
>>29528171>>29528184Actually, sanctuary deciphers the intent of the enemy and decides whether their attacks get through. If someone wants to harm the person who is the target of the sanctuary spell, they can't. If someone wants to attack someone else within the zone and they have no intent to harm the target of the sanctuary, they can.So given that sanctuary senses intent, I don't see a reason why a spell couldn't be made to sense the intent to lie.
>>29528188And thats when Reinhold beats him and Sacrifices him right?
>>29528200you'll come around once you know him luci!
>>29528167>"sylviefag">not a sylviefag
>>29528236He insulted a woman she absolutely idolizes. I doubt it.
>>29528244That was the point of my namefagging. To declare my preferences and explain possible bias in voting without prompting shadowruns. Although I'm trying not to avoid flag collecting.
>>29528200Hey now Luci that's not nice. Monique was just protecting the town from troublemakers, and you thank him by being rude? That's rude. You're rude. Please bully me.I'm sure if you got to know him you'd realize he's an ok guy. He's even got helpful voices in his head that help him do gentlemanly stuff.
>>29528231Jesus christ...I was on the toilet and suddenly I had an epiphanyTina is a behelit
>>29528265trying to avoid,*or trying not to focus on *ehhh I'll shut up now.
>>29528282That made me shiver anon.Get out with those ideas.
>>29528252and rightfully so!there are far more better people for a princess to be inspired upon other than that "noble"
>>29527605There will be 4 more before he continues Berserk.
>>29528200>[4/4]"Only so far as that he found out that the man he had killed was a Devil Child," Takamaru replies. "After I slew the man who I had been pursuing in order to save his life, he attempted to join in my hunt but I was successful in convincing him otherwise.""I see," Luciana nods. "Thank you for that... while I may dislike him, he's not a -bad- person... and Father would probably grow suspicious of Reinhold if he was to die under unknown circumstances the night after challenging him," she sighs."That was also my concern," Takamaru says. "He also appears to be -quite- strong... the remains of the man he slew implies that is familiar with a swordsmanship technique that I had only heard tales about from the Steel Knight.""Ugh," Luciana sighs. "Should I warn Reinhold, then?""It is a killing technique and also magic-based, so he should be fine," Takamaru replies, shaking his head. "I will suggest for him to be cautious if I see him before the duel, though."If you see him before then, that means that I'll most likely be with you," Luciana says, placing a hand to her temples. "Anyways, I have men out there right now hunting those bastards down, so you don't have to worry yourself about it tonight. Rest up and meet me here tomorrow morning.""As you wish, Princess," Takamaru says with a deep bow before heading towards the door."And if it means anything, I also wish for you to win him over," he says with a faint smile as he leaves the room."...thank you," Luciana replies, smiling back. "You're a better friend than I'd expected, Takamaru."
>>29528310d'awwwww, ain't friendship grand?
>>29528290It is causality anonThe toilet epiphany never lies
>>29528310Takamaru is such a bro.
>>29528322I wonder who Mariannne is rooting for? She's friends with both Luciana and Sylvie.
>>29528339Herself
>>29528339I don't think she could give less of a shit.
>>29528339I think she's choosing not to root for anyone, but simply to watch and chuckle in amusement. Alternatively, >>29528342
>>29528339>wanting her friends to fuck a dog
>>29528339Is she even aware of what is going on? She still doesn't spend much time with the girls.
>>29528342
>>29528354Maybe she's into bestiality?
>>29528339>doesn't see him as a person>caring about his love life
>>29528282to be honest im surprised no one came up with it before now>React with our emotions>Always on our person
>>29528354>yfw that is her fetish
>>29528326How about you flush it and not write it here next time.>>29528354>not being into bestiality>implying she isn't only waiting for us to be horse rank>>29528358That's an interesting thought.Maybe we could ask Marianne.
>>29528354Maybe she just wants the knot, anon
>>29528339Probably nobody and lets be honest, if nobody who currently likes us wins before our friendship with her reaches critical mass she'll jump in for a stunning but completely unsurprising victory in the Reinbowl
>>29528375What you dont like berserk anon?
>>29528375There are no horses in this setting. And llamas aren't as symbolic.
>>29528372She told Luciana to knock off the rape jokes, didn't she?
>>29528382>Reinbowl.It is a bit like that isn't it. The Blood Bowl kind of bowl I mean, not the football kind.
>>29528395Just because you think of someone as your dog doesn't mean you want your friend to unwittingly poke it with a metaphorical stick.
>>29528375>That's an interesting thought.Maybe we could ask Marianne.There's plenty of stuff that you guys don't know that you could easily find out simply by asking someone... but tht requires you to actually, you know, do it.Anyways, I'm calling it a night here. Though I won't deny my disapointment in not getting to write spaghettiness, tonight's thread was still fun.Next thread will be Wednesday night, at the usual time.I'll be up for a little while longer, so go ahead and ask questions if you want.
>>29528382>reinbowlMarconetti vs. GranacheWHO WILL WIN?>>29528389I like the manga better tbh. But yes, it is excellent. Just don't make the trauma surface no more please.>>29528390Right, completely forgot.
>>29528214Depending on what level of thought Sanctuary operates on, there might be some way to figure out how to use Sanctuary spells as a sort of logic gate.Can't figure out how you'd do so off the top of my head, but it seems like it should be doable. Maybe it'd take some testing to figure out the properties of Sanctuary first, though, but that's fine. Magic SCIENCE is best SCIENCE.>>29528310>that I had only heard tales about from the Steel Knight.>Takamaru knows him>Niklaus is friends with him>Monique's family must've received the Fragment Blade from him at some pointMaaaan, when do WE get to meet the cool metal guy? Or his Contractor.
>>29528407Are there Truth spells?Can enchanting replicate mechanical motions or animate something, or is it just for enhancement effects and bounding magic to scrolls?Why is Niklaus so based?Tina when?
>>29528407IS there a "zone of truth"/temporary geass spell?
>>29528407>There's plenty of stuff that you guys don't know that you could easily find out simply by asking someoneI think we ask a LOT already.It's not like we were in a ball asking people things for 20 threads. But yeah.Guys don't forget to ask Marianne if she knows dozens of high society women tear each others hair over us.
>>29528407Thanks OP, you a good one.
>>29528407Are you going to update the character profiles soon?I still eagerly await the Melanie profile.Also, thanks for the thread, see you next time Arch.
>>29528407Thanks for running
>>29528407Thanks for running, Arch
>>29528407Arch, am I correct in assuming Citrine's character got rewritten during the Quest?The first time she appears the narration doesn't really give off "like a sister to me" vibe.
>>29528407Can you write a what if pls?I still desire spaghetti.
>>29528407I have a question for Monique.Hi Monique, have you always been able to hear the voices, or are we a recent development?
>>29528407Well, now I know for sure - next time we get a moment with Marianne, we're gonna ask her "HELP TONS OF GIRLS WAT DO"
>>29528493Schizophrenia generally hits in the 20s
>>29528495I think I can predict her response.
>>29528375>implying she isn't only waiting for us to be horse rankOnly way that we can get that Rank upgrade is if we arrange for her to 'accidentally' walk in on us with our pants down.
>>29528512Sounds great. Let's ask Karel's mom for advice too. And Takamaru. And everyone else.
>>29528512This has to happen.
>>29528493From the beginning of first Monique interlude, where he is addressing us:>As I have come to trust your judgement over the past month or so, I shall defer to your decisions as to which choices I should make in my daily life.From Monique Interlude 2:> "What, he claims to be a man so he should be able to face losses!" Marcel says, waving his hand dismissively. "He even went on that training journey for like a month afterwards!"So it seems that either he picked up the voices after losing to Reinhold, or picked them up as a result of his training.
>>29528512>>29528495Nah.I think she will be serious.I'm genuinely curious how she will react.Honestly, how many girls is it?Nico, Sylvie, Luci, am I missing someone?Also Mariannefags should think about asking this, because asking Mari about relationships is a form of friendzoning her. And is she even the best person to ask?I'd rather ask Arnaud, he knows his shit and he isn't emotionally scarred [probably]. And he knows the girls.
>>29528527We'll fall down to Shrimp if that happens.
>>29528434>Are there Truth spells?There are spells that cause Consequences if someone tells a lie, but there aren't any outright TELL ME THE TRUTH spells.>Can enchanting replicate mechanical motions or animate something,Yes. This is part of how Marionettes operate, as well as Takamaru's shikigami.>Why is Niklaus so based?What can I say, he just gots that shine.>Tina when?It's up to you...maybe.>>29528441>Are you going to update the character profiles soon?Yeah, I'll try to get on that soon.>>29528457>Arch, am I correct in assuming Citrine's character got rewritten during the Quest?The first time she appears the narration doesn't really give off "like a sister to me" vibe.Citrine would have acted the way she does regardless, but Reinhold's view of her was decided by you guys.>>29528493>Hi Monique, have you always been able to hear the voices, or are we a recent development?Monique started hearing voices after his little soulsearching journey after losing the tournament back in Granache.Or rather, -during= said journey.
>>29528407Arch, it seems we're novice level in magic theory. In fact, it's been shown that Sylvie's power level is probably above ours, considering she blows through us at every opportunity and was taught by Gregory how to lay an archmage flat on his ass.My question is: how long will it take in our study until we achieve the magical competency to change some words in script to sound like badasses, and as a followup to this question in a broader sense, will we be able to skate on by fine with just our swordsmanship in the future or do we need magic to measure up to other badasses in the setting.
>>29528578>meant Vince, mah bad
>>29528576>Monique started hearing voices after his little soulsearching journey after losing the tournament back in Granache.>Or rather, -during= said journey.Yep. Sounds like schizophenia triggered by stress. Some people get it when they go off to college, Monique got it when Reinhold rekt him and his granddaddy's sword.
>>29528576>Yes. This is part of how Marionettes operate, as well as Takamaru's shikigami.Interdasting.Good show, arch.
>>29528576What could have happened to him during that journey, I wonder...And WHO is he hearing outside of the interludes, anyway?
>>29528576>There are spells that cause Consequences if someone tells a lie, but there aren't any outright TELL ME THE TRUTH spells.Yeah, not sure why the whole rigmarole with the duel when he can just request permission from Thierri to Pinocchio us for a few minutes with Gregory there to mediate. For national security reasons.Unless they're irreversible, I guess. Then it might be kind of hard to justify.
Thanks for running arch, been following along since the very first thread and i've got to say i'm quite happy you have made it so far.A minor thing, but i enjoy the fight scenes more compaired to the SOL but i do have a thing for the shitstorm when people fight over waifus.
>>29528578>My question is: how long will it take in our study until we achieve the magical competency to change some words in script to sound like badasses,Technically, Sylvie shouldn't even know how to do that.She only has like two months on Reinhold when it comes to magic studies, but that hapens to be her Thing.>will we be able to skate on by fine with just our swordsmanship in the future or do we need magic to measure up to other badasses in the setting.Reinhold doesn't need to go full mage or anything, but a firm basis in magic is necesary in order to deal with stronger opponents.
>>29528600archelon, of course.
And now I go to sleep.Thanks for playing!
>>29528680>>29528694Thank you for answering my questions and for the run Arch!
>>29528694Good night, thanks for thread.
>>29528694You an pretty cool bro OP
>>29528576Another question: I also believe someone suggested this a while back, but have you considered posting music to set the tone of the post, and will it come up later?I figured I may as well ask this, since I know fights will be coming up sooner or later, especially the one coming up soon.Not that that will stop me from playing Char's Counterattack theme the whole thread anyway.
>>29528407I really wanted the spaghetti.Not just only because it would have Cute and absolutely hilarious but because of what it would have lead to.Because by god, it meant slyvie would brag to luciana that she was inside Reinhold.
>>29528739>she was inside Reinhold
>>29528739Luciana trying to one-up Sylvie after that would be the greatest. Sweet escalation.
>>29528739>>29528749>Sylvie is into voreAbandon ship.
>>29528721>not playing violence of the flame
>>29528739>>29528764This, but fa/tg/guys are roleplayers first, storylovers second; that is the way it must be unless this board fall to madness and shitposting.case in point: see the ongoing Waifu wars But I do ship Meganechin and I wish there was more development in her room
