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.God damn it, how are you going to handle this...>Sorry, but you've been stripped down to the rank of DOG!>Though dogs are loyal, they're not all that smart...>Though she still considers you her friend, she thinks a little less of you... and also herself.>And 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>>>>>>>>
time to turn Luciana into used goods and ruin Monique's day
What's that I hear? The sound of people trampling off to read the better spinoff? A shame, Arche, you had a good run.
>>29821727Noooes I need to sleep! Can't let Lucifags be stupid
Ask if Marianne could make it appear Celestino is trying to steal away a Sealed King from Granache. Not creating alliances but stealing assets. Heavy political fallout. Angry princesses. Faltering allies. War brewing; don't need this shit etc. etc.
>>29821765I wouldn't wish the unceasing barbarian horde that follows PGQ seemingly for the sole purpose of stirring up shit on the worst of QMs, let alone one I actually enjoy.

>"What if I talked to Monique about this?" you suggest. "He may be an asshole, but he did keep claiming to be a gentleman... maybe I can convince him to bow out of this before the announcement's made.""That's not going to work," Rana says, finally getting up from her seat to walk over to where everyone else is. "I'm an outsider to all this shit, even I can tell that that guy would never do anything that you suggested, he clearly hates your guts.""Yes..." Luciana says. "...and judging from the way that he was hovering around me back when I visited Granache, I doubt that he'd ever down a chance to marry me.""Damn it, you're probably right," you reply. "Then what if I asked the King? He'd probably try and help if he could... or maybe Sir Gregory? He's the King's brother-in-law, he might listen to him!""Th- that's right... Celestino'd probably listen to my old man!" Nicolette says, her voice filled with hope.>ask Sir Gregory to help>ask King Thierri to help>[OTHER]

>>29821855>Spearswoman
>>29821831>>29821834YepLet's do thisFight on!
>>29821796>tl;dr>Go to Monique>Go to Thierri>Run away>Go to Celestino>Gregory too, I guessWe have several options to deal with this.We can go to Monique and attempt to get him to turn down the offer. While Monique is a social-climbing bag of dicks and may well accept just to spite us, he's also a self-espoused "gentleman" and may not want to force Lucianna into marriage against her will. If he's unaware that she's unwilling when Celestino springs it on him, he'll accept without a second thought and it will be too late to back out when he realizes.We can go to King Thierri. Near the beginning of the quest, Celestino sent Lucianna to Granache to propose to Thierri. It was for similar reasons to the Monique proposal - political backing. Monique provides a Sealed King, Thierri provides a country. In addition, Thierri is Celestino's best friend. I doubt Celestino could or would turn him down.Lucianna would, I believe, consider this a preferrable option.We/Lucianna could leave, as Takamaru suggested. I doubt the narrative will let us go with her, though. So if you're hoping for adventure, I think you'll be disappointed.We can go straight to Celestino and attempt to change his mind. I don't think we'll be successful, but you can try.Also, apparently Gregory is an option.
>>29821851>It gets shot down anyway>TIME FOR MONIQUE GUYS HE'S GONNA SAVE THE DAY
>>29821851Our hatred for Celestino being a dick has united us.
>>29821872Phallic symbol doesn't equate her actually HAVING a dick, like /tg/ will usually try to swing.
>Sorry, but you've been stripped down to the rank of DOG!.>Though she still considers you her friend, she thinks a little less of you... and also herself.waitwas that because of the duelthat monique only won because 'i said so, so there'arche you're fucking pathetic holy shit
>>29821796>>ask King Thierri to help
>>29821872Last thread we damn near creamed ourselves to the hot doctor.
>>29821796Go talk to Monique. If that doesn't work call in the cavalry.
>>29821831Why are we going to our grandma?
>>29821892It wasn't, it was because Reinhold kept fighting while severely injured
>>29821891I know, I was just messing with ya.
>>29821902Goddamn.I mean. I'm not gay, but.God. Damn.
>>29821920Indeed.
>>29821851Now we're thinking with Politics!I honestly hope it falls through though, I kinda want to join Taka on sliding out of town on a waterslide powered by the blood of Marconetti's wannabe knights.
If Luciana doesn't want to get married to Monique, maybe she ought to talk to him herself. I'm sure Monique would listen to her directly objecting to the marriage over us objecting to it.
>>29821920That was my thoughts. No homo but, that is a handsome man.
>>29821915after specifically being told 'the doctors will repair all damage, assuming you don't die'rightokay
>>29821914Because she has everyone's respect and will know how to rectify this situation.
>>29821796Go to Monique, we may as well try.
>>29821914Celestino respects her opinion at least to some degree, though I'm not sure that it's a better use of our resources than being there when we talk to Thierri in order to beg him to consider accepting the previous marriage proposal.Because it's really, really unlikely Marianne is going to propose it on her own initiative.
>>29821928If we DID bail the country, at least we'd run into Matthias and co.?
>>29821914she's a living legend who can make king celestiano bend over
>>29821920>>29821932Yes homo. You guys should hook up or something.
>>29821902>Reinhold in ten years . png>Luci: Aaaaa, I wish I fucked him when I had the chance.
>>29821943We're not going to run, Luciana's already said so.
>>29821943Maybe on the road, but they're going to a different oriental nation.
>>29821952Reinhold's hair is more brown, but yeah.
>>29821953I'm not saying we're going to - I'm saying if we did, ya reckon we'd run into Matthias as a result?
>>29821930Seriously. I bet he'd listen to her, especially seeing how miserable she is.
>>29821959Could go that way for the same reason Shirou's did: Magic abuse fucked his skin, hair and eyes.
>>29821947Anon are you not comfy with your sexuality? Comere pal hug time.
>>29821977Silver hair, you say?This is what Nicolette's brothers are going to look like in 20 years, and Sylvie's going to be kicking herself.
>>29821966That's good.GUYS! GUYS! STRATEGY UPDATE!Marie goes to Thierri.Nico goes to Gregory.We go to Agnes.LUCI GOES TO MONIQUE.
>>29821998She could ara ara them.
>>29821953She would change her mind if her friends all pressured her to do it, which we will if we don't have an alternative.She doesn't want to hurt her dad, but her dad is a turbocunt who brings it on himself. And apparently doesn't learn from past mistakes.
>>29821993I am comfy being hetero, that's why I dont drool over muscled dudes.
>>29821902>All these fatguys that don't even realize they're GAR for ArcherEMIYA's still got it.
>>29822002Isn't it a bit late at night to go drag grandma out of bed and up to the castle?And wouldn't that take forever and a day?
>>29822020Not if we put her on a carriage
Monique POV next thread would be awesome.START THAT PARTY!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!
>>29822013We can phrase it as not just for herself, but sparing her two younger sisters a similar fate, because maybe this time Celestino will learn that that shit is not okay.
>>29821831I'm on board for thisIn the event that we can only pick one I'll vote for Gregory.
>>29822016>I'm so hetero I can't acknowledge another man is attractive..I don't think you understand what being comfortable with your heterosexuality means.
>>29822020not with magicand we have either a fucking dragon or a lewd mage right at your side
>>29822027Fuck that we are walking there and back.
>>29822002If he doesn't listen to Luciana directly pleading to him, then he's a complete fuck who is beyond saving.
>>29822028>He kidnaps his 'rightful wife', and uses the Sealed King to stop anyone who gets in his way
>>29822031I think you're the one not knowing what being comfortable means at all. You're gay, it's 2014, is okay to be gay, dont need to hide it.
>>29822031I wasn't going to say anything and just let it go but, I'm glad you understand anon.

>>29822031Something about the shape/size of his head puts me off, personally.
>>29822044Gregory would turn him into a red haze
>>29822002I kind of like this, actually.Still not sure I like letting Marianne handle her father solo, since it basically means we're never going to be bringing up the possibility of him accepting political marriage as a way out, even if it is a kind of shitty thing to have to request of him.

>>29822061She's smarter than we are. And we can talk to her beforehand.
>>29822031In the words of Fez:My appreciation for your beauty is purely aesthetic.
Please, get Luciana to talk to Monique, it would be really hard for him to accept the marriage if he knows she's directly opposed to it.
>>29822046Sorry, man, I like vaginas. And I like them enough to not feel like that my liking them is somehow undermined by nodding and going "That is an attractive specimen of my own gender. Chicks will eat that fucker up."Are you secretly harboring desires to be a woman when you look at a hot chick and say she's attractive, then? Because that's about as much sense as your stance makes.
>>29822002This is a good way to handle it.
>>29822089honestly, i don't think she'd even be able to do that right now
>>29822097I'll be honest I'm not sure what running to grandma is going to accomplish but it does kinda make sense that when shit hits the fan we would go running to her for help.
>>29822093I think I'm stupider for having read this.
>>29822115I thought we heard that Celestino respects her opinion?
Thanks for actually working together for a change, guys.>writing the monique option since he overrides everyting as the true protagonist of this story
>>29822115Mostly just for extra volume of people Celestino will sometimes listen to all yelling at him at once.
>>29822093Are you secretly harboring desires to be a woman when you think that "chicks will eat that fucker up"? It does sound like it.
>>29822115She has some sway over Celestino. How much isn't exactly certain, but we're trying to garner as much powerful support as possible.
>>29822118
>>29822130And all you had to do was switch the player/QM dynamic to "openly antagonistic".

>>29822231Bern is a sweet girl I don't know what you're on about.
>>29822130Man, Monique is gonna marry Luci. Gets a godsword/sword waifu and a harem. How did I not see the truth before.
Why don't we just do nothing?Gregory will kill Monique right in the middle of the wedding if this goes through.
>>29822265It's funny because everybody is accusing him of making Monique the super awesome powerful character that we have to grovel before.
>>29822272Lambdadelta plz go and stay go
>>29822265Recently much of the bitching directed at Archelon is along the lines of 'Reinhold is useless and Monique is like unto a god' and the standard DMPC bullshit fare, last thread was particularly heavy with it.
>>29822130Just how determined you have to be to put so much effort into breaking a trip just to spite people?Only the dead can know peace from this restless faggotry.
>>29822280Because as much as I hate Monique he doesn't deserve that.
>>29822290But Reinhold is pretty damn useless, except for straight up sword fights which are rare
>>29822265Fire is still hot, water still wet and some Anons are still butthurt over an NPC having a legendary artifact they think they are entitled to.Also that was probably not OP.
>>29822313Not saying I entirely disagree with it.
>>29822280Because then Gregory just murdered a man, a noble no less, in public, on his wedding day to the princess of the neighboring kingdom.I don't think his political standing could save him from that.
>>29822306Don't worry, thanks to swordwaifu, he doesn't die when you kill him!
>>29822313Because that's the story Arche wants to write.>>29822327A legendary artefact that Arche said we would never get close to, that allowed our duel opponent to win because the rules had been specifically written to allow its use.
>>29822344Case in point.
>>29822290Well, conventional weapons get their shit slapped by magic in every area until firearms get invented and even then that only levels the playing field. Reinhold isn't a mage and doesn't have any way to counter magic, so he is horribly obsolete.
>>29822290I'm not sure people are going to get it unless arch sends Reinhold to Not-Japan and has him meet some guy named "Archie Long" who engages our protagonist in a discussion over these strange "shounen manga"."They're nice entertainment, but the main characters are too often naive and overly idealistic. They keep getting into fights like they've never heard of the saying 'pick your battles' and they seem to all think that they can win all of these fights through force of will alone. Look. Look how dumb it is. You'd definitely get yourself in trouble if you modeled yourself after somebody like that."
>>29822280>>29822336Actually, this brings up an interesting point.As much as this is about trying to save Luciana from her own misery, this is almost just as much about trying to keep Gregory from self-destructing just to take revenge.This is just us punching Monique in the face so Nicolette doesn't have to all over again, but on a far larger scale.
>>29822277Arch has already admitted that this is a sidestory to the main plotline of his setting.The main plotline is about the hero-king Monique, fucking his hot wife and wielding his Sealed King.Every year the country has a play depicting his humble origins as he is dogged by the bumbling baffoon Reinhold.
>>29822342Not even swordwaifu can save him from Gregory.
>>29822365We have to marry her to save her.Go to Celestino right now and ask for her hand!
Rolled 17>>29822372The hero will obviously be Matthias
>>29822385Thats bro brother Archmage, he keeps the pc inline.
>>29822327It's not that they think they're entitled to it. It's that they can't think no rational explanation why Monique is able to get one. After all, there are many more people who are stronger and have better character than him looking for a sealed king. The only reason he acquired a sealed king was just to fuck with Reinhold.
"Either choice will do... or maybe we can ask both!" you say, snapping your fingers."Yeah, we can hit him from both sides!" Nicolette says."Reinhold, you'd actually..." Luciana looks up at you as she dries her face with a handkerchief."What, you think that I'd just stand by and let it happen?" you ask."Of course you wouldn't..." Sylvie says, shaking her head. "So how exactly are we going to do this? Spit up, or go to one and then the other?""I suppose splitting up would be best," Marianne says. "It's less time wasted, and we'll also have more time to figure out something else if his idea doesn't work out.""Sounds good," Rana nods. So how are we gonna do this? I'll watch the Princess here if you decide to go and talk to Nico's old man, so you don't have to worry about that.""The Princess and I will stay in here," Takamaru says. "It would cause a... disturbance at the very least if she was to be seen by the castle staff in her condition.""Fair enough," you say. "Are you going to be okay in here while we're gone, Luciana?""Yes, I'm just happy that you may have thought of a way for me to get out of this at all," she replies with a hopeful smile."I suppose that we need to decide who goes where?" Melanie says. "I take it that you and Miss Nicolette will be seeking out your own fathers, right?" she turns to Marianne."That would make sense, yes," Marianne replies."I'll go with Marianne," Sylvie says."In that case, I will go with Miss Nicolette.""Guess that leaves the two of us," Rana says, grinning at you. "I'll go with whoever you don't, the decision's all up to you.">go with Nicolette and Melanie to see Sir Gregory, he actually likes you>go with Marianne and Sykvie to see the King, he'll probably listen to you

(note: i already voted, that's why i'm not quoting arch's post) we should go see the King.gregory is probably still waiting for a pretext to destroy monique, and won't let that happen to his nieceThierry will probably listen to us seeing it's SRS BZNESS and remember who's with us: the other girl with a crush on us and his own daughter (who was a bit mad at us earlier)

All of Marconetti watch with tears of pride as their ruler is elevated to such a magnificent status of a divine cockservant. Truly this signifies the start of a golden age to the great people of Marconetti.

>>29822663She'd first need to get unsealed though.I wonder how much influence a sealed king can exert over its master. Imagine a Celestino or Thierri commissioned a group of mages dedicated to pouring energy into the sealed kings to unseal them. Would they flock to him?
"I guess I'll go with Marianne," you say. "It's kind of my job, after all.""Fair enough," Rana replies. "Looks like you're stuck with me once again, Nico!""Let's go, this ain't the time to be acting goofy," Nicolette says with a sigh.With that, the three girls leave in search of Sir Gregory, waving goodbye as they go."Don't worry, Luciana," Marianne says as she helps her friend to her feet. "I'm sure that my father will figure something out.""I certainly hope so... and thanks again, Reinhold," Luciana replies. "And all of you for trying to help me at a time like this when I'd just given up... even you, Sylvie.""Rivals or not, it's not like I'd be happy seeing you married off to a man who you obviously don't like," Sylvie replies, shaking her head.With a sad look on her face, Sylvie heads to the door and opens it for the rest of you."Do you happen to know where UNcle Thierri even is right now?"

It's quite simple son, you see, the wielder of a sealed king is such a desireable person that a single drop of his semen fetches a price that's three times our national budget.

Keep in mind that the optimal goal here is to make Celestino do a complete turnaround in his "kids are just tools to be used" policy, which will be difficult, if at all possible.Even getting him to not marry Luciana to Monique, perhaps in return for a favorable agreement/good relations with Granache or word of King that he'll keep Monique not a threat, that will only make Luciana open to arranged marriage with someone even worse, and might consign Elena to her fate as well.

"Do you want to tell him, or should I?" you ask Marianne as you walk into the King's room."I'd honestly prefer if you did," Marianne replies, frowning.It's not like you can't understand why it would be hard for her to do it, after all.You, Marianne and Sylvie then continue on into the room, stopping in a living room similar to your own suites... but much more lavishly furnished."Take a seat wherever," Thierri says as he leans against a wall. "Might as well be comfortable when you tell me of whatever horrible tragedy that's going on, you know?""Please, Father..." Marianne shakes her head."Sorry, I get it. Not the time for jokes."After the three of you sit down on a couch, the King pulls a chair close to it and plops down on it."So who shall be the bearer of misfortune?"

hello.
>>29823250Shit. I'm off to commit honorable sudoku in shame.
Perhaps a bit late, but a problem with this quest is the in-universe consistency. Monique gaining a Sealed King is not in line with what worldbuilding posits. Volker's lifework involved gaining a Sealed King, this means he used years of time, vast resources and connections in order to gain a clue where one is. Once gaining this clue he is beset by competitors in the form of dragons and killed before getting a hold of one. This not only shows the difficulty of finding one, but also shows there is an active competition which further exuberates the problem of gaining one.Thierre went on numerous adventures, however even his vast amount of resources, experiences and such, didn't gain him a look at a free Sealed King.Arnaud also dreamed of gaining one and likely in his life attempted to get one. Also in vain. Gregory's wife a professional adventuress, whose job it was to gain items of value didn't gain one. The power of a sealed king is of such import that King Celestino is willing to marry of his daughter in order to increase the military strength of his country. This means that countries are looking for Sealed Kings. However again to no avail.All this shows that Sealed Kings are rare, not only this but the QM stated that Reinhold wouldn't get a Sealed King due to it. However Monique in a month long training trip for personal strength just found one lying on the side of the road. Not only this but it happens to be exactly the type of Sealed King which suites him the best. This shows a discrepency in consistency in worldbuilding and writing. This gets exuberated when it shows that Monique suffers no drawbacks from gaining and having one. Instead of this one of the player's potential love interests is married of to him because of him having one. This leads form a discrepency in consistency to a railroading situation in which drama is created for drama's sake. tl;dr inconsistency in worldbuilding leading to a drama for drama's sake situation.
>mfw this is the first time Aquaman is actually usefulnever have so many needed Aquaman's aid
>>29823278As somebody posited earlier, it's more than likely Monique approached a current wielder of a sealed king for training. When that man died, he inherited the blade.
>>29823278'lying on the side of the road'the sealed kings have personalities and choose their masters, and arch hasn't told us how he acquired it yet. it's not impossible to think that he found the sword because the sword wanted him to find it. shit, for all we know there could be a sword in the stone situation where it was easily accessible but hasn't accepted anyone yet.
He's going to offer to knight us.
>>29823278and there's a difference between treasure hunting and stealing from a museumwhat if monique currently have the sealed king that should be volker's, thanks to his father.
>>29823278I hope we get some sort of interlude or explanation of how he came across the sealed king so we can put this to rest.
>>29823327He said he would.
>>29823300What good will that do? I guess we could propose (prompting a shitwave of waifu wars), but even then Celestino has no reason to take us over Monique. We're not the guy with the Sword.
"Seriously, he's willing to give Luciana over to that dumbass?" Thierri says, shaking his hands in frustration. "And JUST because he happens to have a Sealed King... ugh. I mean, I could probably kick that guy's ass in single combat, and I'm only any good with one freaking spell!"The King seems less angry and more... exasperated? Is this really the right reaction to have?"And I KNOW that Celestino knows better than all those folks who think that having one of those stupid things makes you all-powerful or something... a single skilled Contractor can do the EXACT SAME STUFF!" Thierri says, shaking his head. "I mean, there -is- the allure in having such a rare weapon, but...""So is there anything that you can do about this, Your Majesty?" you ask, interrupting his rant. While it might be considered rude to do so, you don't exactly have the time to spare.>[1/?]

"Dunno why the hell he'd put his favorite daughter through something like that... hell, I'd veto THAT GUY as a husband right away if he tried to go for Marianne!""This isn't about me, Father..."

>>29823437...whoooooops.Looks like Arch is gonna get his Red Haze scene in one way or another.
>>29823437>I'm not a fan of girlfriend-stealing either, if you know what I'm saying," he winks at you.Aquaman is best.>"...you guys told GREGORY about this too!?">instead of talking to Celestino he goes straight for the killed tired of everyone bullshit
>>29823437uhh... conceptualize tailwind?
>>29823452Nah, just Monique like >>29823450 said.The MC will die any second now....
BAD ENDINGBAD ENDINGBAD ENDING we're going to the dojo soon
>>29823437>"...you guys told GREGORY about this too!?"oops
>>29823433But Asterix' ideas are actually good...>>29823437>"...yeah, I've got this," Thierri replies, patting you on the shoulder. "I'm gonna make that old dumbass listen to me by force if I have to... so don't you guys worry, alright?"There's no way the solution is that simple, right?>"...you guys told GREGORY about this too!?"... it can't be that bad. Guys?
>>29823437King Aquaman sez "Fuck NTR"
>>29823437>"...you guys told GREGORY about this too!?"In hindsight maybe not the best move.
>>29823437TO THE AQUAMOBILE
>>29823450Why would he do that? Monique doesn't even know about it.More likely he is going to confront Celestino.Also, I'm worried that while all the badasses are busy yelling at each other, someone might murder Takamaru and kidnap Luciana.
>>29823428>>29823433..I fucking love you guys.
>>29823480It really is such a shame he flew into a rage and killed Cellestino and all the nobles.
>>29823482nah, it's gregory it can't be that bad.nope no way.
>>29823437"God damn it I had to LITERALLY HOLD HIM DOWN during that duel to keep him from flying down and murdering that Gilbeault kid right there and then!" Thierri shouts, turning to you. "And Luciana's his favorite niece, too... god damn it he's going to kill that kid for sure," he mutters under his breath as he bolts for the door.And as he opens the door, the King turns to the three of you."Lock up when you leave, alright? I'm gonna go stop Gregory from doing something stupid, then it's right to Celestino!"And so, your King runs out of the room and out the hall at top speed in hopes of preventing a murder.>[3/?]
>>29823489Because Monique was already on superthin ice with him. This would be like pouring gas into the the burning heart of the sun
>>29823509Oh, don't be silly, he's not going to kill Monique, he's just going to castrate him a bit.
>>29823506>"And Luciana's his favorite niece, too... god damn it he's going to kill that kid for sure,"I'm starting to pity Monique
>>29823506"you can hit me as much as you want your highness"
>>29823506>Reinhold ruins everything AGAIN
>>29823506Either way problem solved, problem staying solved!
>>29823517>a bitWhat, he'll just chop off half of each ball?
>>29823506God speed Aquaman. Can't be starting any international conflicts.
>>29823509I love it, Monique's gonna get murdered for something he doesn't even know about
>>29823517so much for the third biggest dick of granache.
>>29823522
>>29823489Greg already has anger issues, and his bullshit tolerance has been stretched to the limit for last day or two.On the bright side, if Celestino decides to be stubborn the Gregory Murdercane will be a perfect distraction for a mad sprint for the border.
>>29823506Well, I think that takes most of the problem-solving out of our hands.Now we sit back and watch the fireworks, I guess?
>>29823524we should have went see Gregoryit a pity that I was not here to vote
>>29823537>"OH GOD, WHY ARE YOU KILLING ME"
>>29823506I guess in retrospect that might not have been the smartest move. Oh well hindsight is 20/20. So dibs on his sword?
>>29823553"I DIDN'T EVEN GO NEAR REINHOLD!"Ooh! Guys! If Gregory kills Monique, think we can lay claim on the Sealed King?
>>29823506>Thierri running through the corridors screaming "DON'T KILL HIM GREG!"Best mental image.
>Greg kills Monique>Celestino grabs the sword, since he had nothing to do with it>All according to keikaku
"Oh, did I put Monique in a life-threatening situation? Golly gee, I never meant to do that! I hope everything works out for him."
>>29823560I think that might technically count as having played a part in his death.
>>29823542We are SO not starting a war over this. No. We are going to talk and talk until our ears and keyboards bleed and then we'll talk some more untir this matter has been resolved to general satisfaction of everyone.
>>29823566"Oh look, his sword has no owner and I had nothing to do with his murder. Who would've thought">>29823560"I'm calling dibs on the sword"
>>29823560Nope.
>inb4 Monique manages to kill Gregory
>>29823568But it was unintentional!
>>29823553"YOU KNOW WHY""NO I REALLY DON'T KNOW STOP STABBING ME"
>>29823568But the question is does accidentally getting somebody murdered count?
>>29823580>inb4 no.
Rolled 9>>29823580Yeaah... no. No chance of that.
>>29823555>555The Door to Darkness has opened.We're gettin' that sword, bitches.
>>29823428They are crazy, those Marconettians
>>29823572That won't start a war. She would be escaping of her own accord, and Celestino isn't dumb enough to go to war over a runaway princess who is several steps removed from the throne.Escape to Japanland is a perfectly valid solution, and it might end up being necessary if negotiations break down. If Celestino and Monique both really dig in their heels on this it'll only be resolved by either murder or escape, and Celestino HAD to know this would cause a shitfit when he made the decision.
>>29823580That would cause a shitstorm so large that it would make the Red Spot on Jupiter look miniscule.
>>29823603Marconnetti is Not!Italy anyway. So Romans, with Granache as France/Gaul.Though Celestino makes for a lousy Caesar.
>>29823599if so do we get to solve everything with card games?
Why would Reinhold want the sword? He has his own sword that he will be fixing with magic crystals and right now he has Grandma Sword, Plus it is more a saber when Reinhold does more broadsword style.She is not the same affinity as Reinhold so she wouldn't want him ether when there are people who are closer to her affinity to use instead, like Marianne.
>>29823634>Though Celestino makes for a lousy Caesar.>implying it's not modern Italy
>>29823580that would actually be plausible if celestino and his hired goons arrive.but then Aquaman arrives and sees Gregory's dead body.
>>29823634I have him more pegged as a Nero personally.
>>29823634how much to let Thierri throw a menhir at Celestino?
>>29823641Why don't fantasy settings ever have card games?You could make something straight out of the Yu-Gi-Oh anime with illusions.
>>29823643they're talking about cause it's never going to happen.like ever.
>>29823650>we indirectly started a war between maronetti and granacheWell shit.
>>29823658The Witcher had dice poker. That's somethin' at least.
>>29823643Reinhold getting the sword pretty much seals the Luciana route.>>29823658>What is MTG
>>29823634What's ancelotta then? Not!America? Or Not!China? Who is Not!Germany?not everything has to be a reflection of something real or an allegory.
>>29823499And we love you too, random Anon.
>>29823641王者の鼓動、今ここに列を成す!天地鳴動の力を見るがいい!シンクロ召還!我が魂、レッドーデーモンズドラゴン!!
>>29823679The question that would answer is "why don't card games ever have fantasy settings?"
>>29823658>>29823641I'm betting they have some kind of game involving the sealed kings.
>>29823700You know, you could make a pretty cool game if you re-worked the original spell to turn elementals into cards.Actually, you could probably use that as the basis for another setting entirely.
>>29823687goddam elven writing.

>>29823658True anonIt' apparently more popular on futuristic settings>>29823679on magic lore things work way too different from any thigh that could resemble a card game>>29823687Jack is truely the king>>29823700If you beat the owner it's yours!>>29823757> AND I FEEL NO SHAME.and you should not Achelon

>>29823506"Don't worry, Father knows how to deal with him," Marianne says, noticing the concern that's apparent on your face."Yeah, he's been dealing with Sir Gregory's temper for their entire lives!" Sylvie joins in with a nervous laugh."Uh, if you say so..." you say as you stand up and head to the door. "In any event, let's tell Luciana that your father thinks that he has this dealt with, Marianne.""Yes, let's not keep her waiting." Marianne replies.You then make your way out of the King's room (taking special care to lock the door behind you, of course) and then head back across the hall to Nicolette's suite......where you find Luciana pacing back and forth while Takamaru does his best to calm her down."Marianne! Reinhold!" Luciana shouts, noticing you the second you open the door. "H- how did it go? Is your father going to...""He said that you don't have to worry," Marianne replies, hugging her best friend. "See? All we had to do was cool our heads and find a solution, there was no need to worry so much.""B... but what if Father doesn't listen?" Luciana asks, her voice trembling."Then Sir Gregory will probably end up killing Mr. Gilbeault before he has the chance to marry you," Sylvie says, shaking her head. "Uncle Thierri's always been rather good at convincing people to do things, so you should just trust that he'll be able to talk some sense into your father.">[4/?]
>>29823780Red Dragon Archfiend's summoning phrase
>>29823798>"Then Sir Gregory will probably end up killing Mr. Gilbeault before he has the chance to marry you,"Oh Sylvie you know just how to reassure a friend
>>29823785now i'm wondering if there is ice cream in this setting.
>>29823811Please no, I don't have the time to watch Yu-Gi-Oh.Too late I'm watching it
>>29823815It's a solution. And there will be no love lost, so w/e.
>>29823798Do we get an interlude?
>>29823840i soo want to see what's happening on nico's side
>>29823840>We play as Monique as he's horribly tortured by Gregory shortly before Thierri arrives.
>>29823822I think it was mentioned once.
>>29823815Hey, it solves the problem in the easiest way. >>29823840>it's in the style of 24>Thierri attempting to intercept Gregory>He asks "WHERES GREGORY!" to everyone he comes across
>>29823857It does not, it's just kicking the can down the road.Not to mention Monique would be innocent victim of circumstance.
>>29823798>[5/5]"Your friends wouldn't steer you wrong, Princess," Takamaru says. "So please, try and calm down. Worrying won't help anything.""Yes, you're right..." Luciana says to Takamaru before turning to you. "And all of this is because of your idea, Reinhold... thank you so much."The red-haired princess then pulls you into a tight hug, sobbing into your chest. The thought comes to mind to gently remove yourself from her embrace, but... forget it, she's been through a lot today, and you wouldn't feel right about doing that.After a few minutes of quiet sobbing, Luciana finally lets you go and returns to her seat on the couch, Marianne following behind her in hopes of cheering her up some. And just as it looks like she's done crying...KNOCK KNOCK KNOCKThe door then opens and Nicolete, Melanie and Rana come back into the room. You can't help but notice that Rana looks rather scratched up.>how do you react?
>>29823857>>29823829I'm not complaining. It is actually quite endearing to me to see her just nonchalantly mentioning that murder is an option.
>Archelon's face when team antimonique gets monique killed and Setsuranka is picked up by Millien Girardot
>>29823890>You can't help but notice that Rana looks rather scratched up.ask her if she's ok, ask what the fuck happened
>>29823890Hug Luciana again
>>29823890Thank you Rana.
>>29823890"You tried to stop him from just offing him didn't you?"
>>29823890"So has he killed Monique yet or what?"
>>29823877>innocentwell... um... sometimes you can't really escape collateral damage >>29823890"so... how did it go?"
>>29823890What happened? Rana, Are you all right?
>>29823877No, it's stabbing the can and tossing it in the trash.>Monique would be innocent victim of circumstance.And we should care why?>>29823890"He skipped the bullshit, didn't he?"
>>29823890>how do you react?What happened?
>>29823890So what's the ETA on Monique's head?
>>29823890"So... I take it Gregory flipped his shit? How bad was it? Any casualties?"
>>29823890"Is Sir Gregory about to kill someone?"Try to keep it deadpan.
>>29823890Concern."What happened? Did Gregory do that?"
>>2982391730 minutes or your money back
>>29823921This.
>>29821933"ASSUMING YOU DON'T DIE"Meaning don't act like a dumb-shit as death is still a very real threat.Seriously I was one of the retards who voted Reinhold to continue fighting and even I realize the rank down makes sense rather than acting like a man-child who calls Archelon "pathetic."
>>29823890'Let me guess you had to try to hold him down but even so he is out for Monique's blood'
>>29823924>>29823917This really isn't the time for jokes.
>>29823890"Let me guess. Gregory reacted... poorly."
>>29823921Supporting this
>>29823913You are so obsessed with the guy who stole your sweetroll that you fail to realize that main issue here is Luciana getting married off to someone she hates. If it won't be Monique, it will be someone else. This is about Celestino and Luciana, Monique('s sword) is just a trophy Celestino wants to trade Luciana in.
>>29823917thierri: where is monique?gregory: oh, he's near...thierri: WHERE?gregory: you're stepping on him... oh, and he's on the celling too
>>29823890"You tried to stop Sir Gregory from killing either Celestino or Monique didn't you? Well your a braver dragon than I."
>>29823877On the one hand, you're right. On the other hand, Monique is a shitty person IC and a shitty DMPC ooc, so if he's suddenly out of the quest I would be perfectly fine having to deal with the fallout.
>>29823933Why would you respond to a post three hours old
>>29823940"Is Gregory about to kill someone" isn't really a joke.More like a statement of fact.
>>29823950Where's Monique?Oh he's here, and there, and there, and there...
>>29823954>I'm vindictive, petty man who doesn't care how many people get hurt as long as I get my gratification
>>29823953>"...didn't you? Well your a braver dragon than I.">"Well your a braver dragon..">"..your a braver dragon..">Your>YOUR
>>29823971... and? Like I said, Monique is the single worst thing about this quest. I would prefer to deal with absolutely anything else.
>mfw we assume he goes for Monique, as does the king>He actually went for Celestino>>29823945It's not about the sweetroll, the character has been a pompous ass the whole quest with very little redeeming qualities and he isn't even a villain.
>>29823971You just described Monique.
>>29823989And? It's not like I would like to visit death on either him or the poster it was aimed at.
>>29823983There's a degree of difference between strangling a little shit to death and regicide, and I'd like to think Greg would be discerning enough to know as much.
Whelp.This went poorly.
>>29823994But I'm certain you wouldn't exactly mourn if he happened to kick the bucket, would you?
>>29823994Oh, I don't think you realize what's going on here. I'm not hung up on the means by which the character disappears from the story. It's just that if Greg kills him I won't be complaining.
>>29824010I'd be sad in both cases, because neither is a bad person.
>>29824017Same, I don't think killing him would solve any of Reinhold's problems, but if Monique would disappear, I wouldn't miss him.
So, what's your dream PGQ interlude? Here's mine:Monique gets a booty letter from Luciana to meet him at the Arena. He gets there, turns out it was sent by Gregory and Thierri. All of the support cast is there too. They've stolen all of his swords and they tell him he has to follow all of their instructions and whatever happens to him he has to act like he enjoys it. If he doesn't, they will break all of his swords and then kill him.So the next day, Monique walks into a room wearing diapers and a pacifier, acting like a retarded baby. All of the cast is there and they give him the hardest, most brutal gangrape in history. As instructed, Monique acts like he completely enjoys it and asks for more.Then in walks that Karel. Turns out he decided to join in for revenge. He's been eating a special protein-only diet for weeks just for this. He pulls down his pants and partially defecates the longest, thickest, hardest log ever, and proceeds to use it to give Monique the most furious ass-to-ass action ever recorded. Monique can't hold his tears anymore, but pretends they're from pleasure. It's finally over.Then the King reveals the room they're in is actually see through from the outside, and they're in the tournament arena. All of the audience has been watching Monique get gangbanged and enjoy it. They finally kick him out of the premises, and break all of his swords anyway.Later, Monique runs into Luciana, who tells him she didn't know he was such fag. Reinhold walks in and proceeds to have passionate sex with her in front of Monique, and after he finishes, pees all over him, much to her delight
>>29824032But Monique IS a bad person.
"...so I take it that Sir Gregory lost it?" you ask. "Were there any casualties?""Only my pride," Rana says with a tired smile. "He ran out to kill that guy after Nico told him what happened, and I tried to keep him from doing just that.""I'm really sorry, Rana..." Nicolette sighs."It's fine! If anything, now I can brag to Reya that I got into a fight with his personal hero!" she laughs. "And then Marianne's father showed up and calmed YOUR father down so I didn't even have to transform all the way!"Ouch, that sounds like it didn't go anywhere nearly as well as you hoped it would."But if you absolutely insist on making it up to me, you could always kiss my wounds better..." Rana says, a sly grin on her face."Wh- What the" Nicolette stammers, her face turning bright red."Y- yes, this isn't the time for jokes, Miss Rana!" Melanie says, blushing just as hard.>[1/?]
>>29823955I wanted to see if he was still lurking or participating.Basically I wanted to see if people are randomly coming into the thread to shit on Arch then leave or its people who are still in the thread and may actually be participating still.I'm certain now all the shitposting crybabies have left.
>>29824067>"But if you absolutely insist on making it up to me, you could always kiss my wounds better..." Rana says, a sly grin on her face.Was she saying this to Reinhold or Nico?Cause Meido's reaction means very different things depending.
>>29824081Nicolette.
>>29824067>"That would be a problem, dragon lady."
>>29824081I'm pretty sure she was talking to Nicolette, she's the one who apologized.
>>29824067Hahaha I like her style.If Gregory is with Thierri, worst of it has been averted I guess.
>>29824081Either would be pretty funny.Also I note Melanie's reaction.
>>29824067Dragon waifu really is the best waifu.
>>29824081She was saying it to niccollete. So maid is either blushing because A) That's forbidden love! or B) Miss Rana is infringing on her waifu.
>>29824095*Wont, goddammit.
>>29824067So WHERE EXACTLY she got those wounds?
>>29824067>"Y- yes, this isn't the time for jokes, Miss Rana!" Melanie says, blushing just as hard.IT'S HAPPENING
>>29824124>>>/u/
>>29824064Then Monique's brother comes in and asks"WHO THE HELL DO YOU GUYS THINK YOU ARE?" Gregory takes off his hats, takes a bow and says The Aristocrats
>>29824067Best waifu, too bad she came too late
>>29824133b-but forbidden love~
>>29824067"I can help you with that, Rana."Then cast refresh or wahtever

>>29824199nah, we learned a precise healingrefresh is a global healingmarianne knows the spell
>>29824199We learned Healing Grace, and she just bit her finger.Healing grace targets more serious wounds, but with a smaller area.

>>29824213Ah okay then, I really don't remember the names of the two spells.
>>29824067>[2/2]"AHEM!" you clear your throat. "So I take it that the King was able to keep him from doing anything rash?""Yeah, Thierri came to the rescue as always," Nicolette replies. "They're both on their way to bitch Celestino out so you should be safe for now, Luciana," Nicolette says, giving her cousin a thumbs-up. "So quit worrying, alright?""If both of them are going try and convince Father together, I guess that's the best I can hope for," Luciana says, weakly. "Thanks for going out of your way to help me, everyone."She then stands up and walks to the door."I'm kind of tired right now from everything that's happened today, so I'm going to head to my room for the night," Luciana says. "Thanks, everyone.">walk her back to her room, she's still feeling kind of bad>nah, Takamaru has this

>>29824252He'd have ran off to go and kill Monique, the same as before... only with it being your responsibility to stop him instead of Rana's.He wouldn't beat you up since he actually likes you, but you'd have to either convince him of another way BESIDES murder to rectify this situation or stall long enough for Thierri to show up.And if you said "haha let him die" then you'd have gotten a Bad End since the blame would fall on you for telling him about the engagement plans in the first place.You guys played it Super Smart, good job!
>>29824229>walk her back to her room, she's still feeling kind of badI'm Lucifag after all~
>>29824333That means staying in this shithole of a country.
>>29824332My proxies are ready.
>>29824344We could just move back to Granache, it's not like Luciana is going to inherit the throne or anything.
>>29824341... We just stuck with Marianne. And I don't know what we could have done to convince the Red Haze.
>>29824341invoke emergency voting arc. please.
>>29824229>walk her back to her room, she's still feeling kind of badHahaha, time for Luci route!
>>29824344Not if we defect
>>29824341>Bad end for telling Greg about the engagementFuck Celestino, and the rest of this godforsaken country, I won't even mind if the slavery country kicks their asses
>>29824355Thats how they were trying to poach monique.And Marie said she'd lose her guard. We won't be moving back to garanche.
>>29824360kiss him obviouslyThey never expect it
That's it for the night, guys.I was expecting Horrible Things, but you seriously surprised me by how well you took that entire situation. Seriously, thanks for that.But now I must sleep, so it is goodbye for now. The next thread will be Monday night.Thanks for playing!
>>29824344[citation needed]
>>29824378Thanks for running.
>>29824344Not necessarily. She could just as easily move to Granache if it did end up happening. She's a long way off from the throne so it's not like Celestino has a particular interest in keeping her at home as opposed to in the country next door which happens to be his closest ally.
>>29824378night archsleep tight
>>29824378I'm surprised that you thought we took this well.
>>29824378Thanks for running Archelon, rest well!
>>29824378Good night man, seriously, i applaud you for you enduring most the the trolls from starting the quest.
>>29824378Sleep well Arch. Your deserve a good rest
We should walk Luciana back and tell her about Spinelle. It's time.
>>29824378Thanks for running
>>29824406whatever the fuck for
>>29824406yeah, this is a perfect opportunity to tell her about our hang-ups.
>>29824378thanks for running arch, the hype, epicness and happening went off the chart tonight
GUYS how about on the day of the waifu vote we should all be on live cam?
>>29824431That sounds like it would be an incredibly embarrassing experience for everyone involved.
>>29824406>>29824412>>29824419>"Do you know how I got those intimacy hungups?">"Well, you see, she did *this*..."
>>29824431that would actually be good, judging that it won't be for some months, it's actually nice to have a reason too loose some weight.
>>29824378Sleep tight.
>>29824378Good run as always Arch.>>29824374I don't see the problem if we do go Luci route and moving to Granache and keep on bodyguarding, I mean sure we'll likely have to stay in Marconetti for a bit but Gregory can cover for a bit. If Luciana route = Staying in Marconetti, it's the bad end. >>29824431You relize how many of us there is, right? And what he >>29824444 said.
>>29824378Cheers OP, you a good one
>>29824406Don't get her to even badder mood.i swear some of you cannot into socializing.

>>29824468>trying to one up>who is sadder
>>29824444>>29824462>>29824454oh come on now i know all of you are cute~
>>2982447231:19 for escorting Luci.Justice prevails.
>>29824490>implying this is the definitive voteThough it'd be a pretty great ruse.
>walk her backNote for thoughtBeyond just being angry because it is fucking Monique, Reinhold would probably NEVER want to see one of his friends forced to be with someone that hate, so terrified or sad at the prospect to cry. It's not a muh trauma trigger, it's a sharpening of he mind hot rage trigger. He probably doesn't see the situation based on the perpetrator's intent (Celestino) he sees it from the potential victims pain in which he sees himself, especially in her belief of helplessness and hopelessness.
>>29824530>he sees it from the potential victims pain in which he sees himself, especially in her belief of helplessness and hopelessness. it's probably more about citrine's pain than his...
>>29824530I'm curious how far he'd be willing to go out of loyalty for his friend at this point.Though that's for /tg/ to decide.
The players being idiots I accept as part of life but what the fuck is with the archivers lately...
>>29824341>And if you said "haha let him die" then you'd have gotten a Bad End since the blame would fall on you for telling him about the engagement plans in the first place.>if you would have impacted the story/world in any significant way, I would've just Bad Ended you and reset everythingWell fuck you too.
I wonder if there will be another encounter with ninjas on this night.>>29824566I think we'd be all good for running away with Luciana, but she herself made it clear she would just accept her fate rather than thwart her father.>>29824785Trolls have been with this quest for quite some time, just check /qtg/.>>29824786You know, if you kill yourself or someone else, it will be stupid, but there will be no luxury of reverting to savepoint. And this was never a sandbox campaign.
Seriously where is 118 three misarchived out of four in two days...
>>29824859>You know, if you kill yourself or someone else, it will be stupid, but there will be no luxury of reverting to savepoint.No shit it would be stupid, but the resulting political shitstorm would be interesting. Its probably the closest Reinhold will ever have of impacting the story in any meaningful way.I also don't see what comparing IRL to a fucking quest is supposed to accomplish, save make you look retarded. Which if that was your goal, then mission fucking accomplished.
Rolled 8>>29824859Archelon said before there is resets if we fuck up, where explains our mistakes and what we could've done better.Like the dojo from Fate/SN
>>29825010I'm not the one who's deliberately trying to push retarded decision just for sake of being lol so random and leaving a crater.
>>29825124I'm not even pushing for it, jackass, I just think its dumb how Arch outright admits that he will retcon any meaningful impact Reinhold might have on the story, good or bad.
>>29825199There is a distinct difference between making an impact and getting ourself killed.
>>29825250The punishment for going of the rails shouldn't be death every single time.
>>29825278Here's what would happen if we let Greg kill Monique.>Monique Dies>Theirri asks what the hell>Greg says that we told him about the marriage>we get fired and most likely get sent to the dungeon/exiled/executed on the spot.
>>29825532Woulda been more interesting if it lead to Greg getting hung, Luci hating you, and a falling out between the two kings.But once again, that would require arch to let us off the VN train.
>>29825567Ariane would probably say Gregory's already hung pretty well.
>>29825532more likely celestino would reach conclusion that we were getting back at Monique and maybe even trying to get around the sealed king restriction and have us executed.
>>29825567> Luci hating youAnd Nico, and Marianne, and Sylvie, and Melon, and Gregory's Family, and Celestino, and Elena, and Agnes, and Citrine, and Marius, and Matthias, and on and on and on.I'm just saying, if Reinhold had let Gregory kill Monique, than Reinhold is fucked
>>29825701>if Reinhold had let Gregory kill Monique, than Reinhold is fuckedIf we tried to stop him and failed, they couldn't hate him TOO much. Though I must say, I don't really get why Reinhold would be held so closely responsible for a grown fucking man throwing a tantrum and abusing his demigodlike power.This just goes to show that wizards are fucking cunts and should be lined up and slaughtered by the score.
>>29825785Wizards , no sense of right or wrong
>>29825823I really dont fucking get it. How the fuck is Reinhold responsible if a man who can level fucking towns if he wants to decides to kill a guy? Sure, he was the one who told Greg, but if someone with that much power is that fucking volatile, you would think the kingdom would have fucking done something about him before he goes all Falling Down on everyone.In a world where wizards are getting their balls fondled by the author himself, what the fuck is a swordsman even supposed to do?
>>29825785>butthurt warrior detected
>>29825885...I was just making a joke related to a reaction image I cannot find.
>>29825885Your first point is a valid one, as in how does Gregory manage to go through a day without causing an incident. I'd like to hear what OP has to say about that.Your other point has grown stale and is invalid anyway, considering how the king himself admitted to only know a single spell.
>>29826041Greg Quest: roll not to murder the ever living fuck of everything that does piss you off.
>>29826031No, I know. But its still worth pointing out.>>29826041>Your other point has grown stale and is invalidIts still pretty relevant if it almost just Bad Ended us.
>>29826068What almost bad ended us is our character level, not the class he's levelling. If we were playing Reya or a male equivalent of Sylvie, we would have been equally screwed.That, and nature of quest which is railroady from get go.
>>29826106of *THIS quest. It's just not a sandbox one.
>>29826106>What almost bad ended us is our character level, not the class he's levelling. You forget that the whole reason Volkar died is because he didn't wait for the wizard to show uo and fix everything>If we were playing Reya or a male equivalent of SylvieSure, but I doubt Rana would be held responsible for Gregory going on a rampage. Somehow thats our fault and our fault alone.
>>29826106no one would be bitch if we were playing Monique from the start
>>29826236Oh lol. Then they would be bitching about getting a macguffin and being a mary sue. Or we would not get the macguffin and end up exactly as we were, underpowered mid-level in land populated by epic-levels and commoners.The truth of the matter is that it's impossible to appease everyone.>>29826147Yeah, wizards, too bad they are not quite so commonplace in this setting to have one on hand at all times, eh? Also I'm pretty sure Rana would get shit as well, but she was not under suspicion of being a spy like Reinhold was.
>>29826322 bitching about getting a macguffin and being a mary sue.but that's all what every player wants
You guys are too damned desperate to keep the status quo.
>>29826357...I want a horse.
>>29826438Fuck horses, I want a gryphon.Besides there are no horses in this setting.
Honestly the only major issue I have with this quest are the players. Baking a fucking cake, leaving Luciana to cry herself to sleep, damn near killing Reinhold in a duel...
>>29826461but we have a perfectly good dragon and she wants us to ride her
