You step up to the counter, taking a look at what he has on display. You note a bucket containing a strange sort of bread, long and seemingly twisted together. It has a hard outer crust, and many of the loaves have melted cheese on top. He also has a sort of pastry you're not familiar with. It's soft, golden brown in color, and seems to be stuffed with something or other. They smell like lamb meat, lamb you think, but you're not entirely sure. Some of them also appear to be filled with mashed fruit, or cheese.

He has an entire selection of pastries that appear to simply be bread twisted together into intricate patterns and sprinkled with nuts or honey or a variety of other toppings. Of course, he's also only just pulled a fresh tray of baklava out of the oven behind him. You also note a number of pies, dates, apples, wild berries, chicken, and lamb featuring prominently. You note a fairly massive brick of halva, you think sesame based and filled with nuts. Finally there is a massive metal contraption set up next to the counter which emanates cold. You've little idea what might be inside, but it takes up most of the western wall.

You realize he asked you a question, and you've simply been standing there staring. You clear your throat in an attempt to recover and place your order. “We'll have three servings of the baklava.-” You turn your attention to Chrys. “Do you want anything else?” She nods. “I would like a half dozen klobasnek, a half dozen pirozhki, and a dozen kolace.” The baker grins wide. “Ah! Familiar with Elven cuisine, I see! From the Provinces or the Rebel Kingdoms? No matter.” He waves a hand dismissively. “What kind of kolace? I have date, fig, cherry, and grape.” Chrys frowns slightly. “Cherry and date, six of each.”

Well, that's a bit more food than you expected. The pastries the baker seems to be picking out are rather small though, it shouldn't be an issue. He packs them all tightly into a basket, separating each layer with a cloth before packing another on top of it. Once he's selected Chryssa's two dozen... whatever they were called he cuts three very, very generous portions of Baklava out of the tray and wraps them carefully in oiled parchment before stacking them and bundling them in a cloth. Once done he sets your food on the counter top with a wide smile. “Thirty silver, my friends!” Two gold, in other words. That's a fairly standard price for this much food.

Probably got put out while fighting a dragon, which he did so in order to discover its secret of fire, in order to become the worlds GREATEST BAKER

He's also a lich, that's why he was around when dragons were. He's a lich baker. I've got my bases covered.

You think for a moment, and then shake your head. “Actually, can we get a slice of halva, a half dozen sandesh, and-” You glance around. Doesn't seem he has mysore pak, but he does have something you think might be bamiyeh, a type of deep-fried dough balls covered in sugar, honey, and cinnamon. “Half a dozen bamiyeh.” He busies himself collecting your orders, but there's been a question eating at you since you first saw him. “Would you mind telling me what happened to your eye?” He hardly spares you a look while he's busy bundling up your bamiyeh. “Not at all! Most everyone in town has asked about it at some point.”

He sets the bundle down next to the rest of the food and then pulls out the brick of halva, looking around for a knife to cut it with. “Whilst plying my skills as a merchant marine, the vessel I had been hired to protect was boarded by pirates. I fought valiantly, as was my duty, but I took a blow to the head and woke up some time later in a damp cell. The pirates, you see, had a powerful vatis in their midst and he'd healed my wound, a wound which would've killed me otherwise. After that they offered an ultimatum to the surviving crewman, join up or die. I spent thirty years pillaging the high seas with that rat bastard Zaman. That is, until our ship met one of the Shah's navy. We were aflame on open water, I had no choice but to leap into the sea and swim for the nearest shoreline.”

(1/2 or 3)

He shrugs his shoulders, having sliced off a generous portion of halva and further cut it into sixths. He bundles it up and sets it next to the rest of your food. “I came ashore a short ways down the coast. One of the fishermen found me and took me to see the Varistha. He treated me kindly and healed my wounds, even offered to heal my eye. However, I refused him. A wound such as this is a mark of honor, and I would not want to be rid of it. I've been plying my trade as a baker ever since, it was the profession of my father and his father before him. Funnily enough I went to sea specifically to avoid the life I currently live.”

He claps his hands together. “Now then! That will be forty-five silver.” You hand him three gold coins, a paltry sum as far as you're concerned. He scoops up the coins deftly and drops them into a large clay pot behind the counter. “May your days be long and the winds ever at your back, my friend!” He seems awfully friendly for a self-professed former pirate. He also seemed to give out that story far, far too freely. Normally pirates are either beheaded or banished, depending on the length and success of their career.

You pluck up your bundles of baklava and sandesh. Chryssa gets the bamiyeh and the various pastries she picked out. Food in hand, the two of you say your goodbyes to Bastien and duck out of the bakery. Chryssa speaks up as you make your way towards the docks. “Will we be able to eat all of this while we work? I would not want raw fish intestines to flavor my meal.” You shake your head. “We'll have plenty of time to eat before the fishermen return, don't worry.”

(2/3)

The walk to the docks is a short one, the bakery is practically on the beach, or the rocky coastline that passes for a beach in this village. The docks are more or less abandoned, only a handful of ships in sight. However, you do see a man standing before a particularly ornate sloop. It's painted in shades of blue, red, orange, and gold. It's rigging is in good condition and it's triangular sails are furled. You'd estimate it to be roughly twenty, or perhaps thirty feet long. A sloop. The man waves enthusiastically once he notices you.

Presumably, he has something to tell you. You're not entirely sure how he knows who you are, but presumably he was told at some point. You approach, and he jogs up to you. As he gets closer you decide he couldn't be much older than thirteen or fourteen, barely out of boyhood. He's dark skinned even by Samjan standards, nearly coal black in color, and his head is shaved. He looks tragically underfed, but that may simply be a product of his age. As he gets close, he halts suddenly and snaps off a sloppy salute. “Morning, sir! Boss lady told me I was 'sposed to help yah out. Getcha all acquainted with the boat.”

Well then

You hold up a hand placatingly. “That's quite unnecessary. I'm more than familiar with sailing a vessel such as this.” The boy seems to visibly deflate. “However, an additional hand would be welcome. I have only one more friend coming and three people does not a crew make.” In a moment his spirits have rebounded. He pumps a fist in the air in celebration. “Yes! D'ya think we'll find any pirates? I've been workin' real hard on my sword work! I'm the best fighter out of all my friends!” He states this with a rather disproportionate amount of pride. “Well, I certainly hope we don't meet any pirates but if we do I'll rely on you to repel boarders.”

The look on his face is priceless. He only comes back down to Earth when you start to tromp off down the dock to the moored vessel. Apparently he'd already run out the gangplank, so you simply need to climb aboard. Chrys seems at least slightly uneasy, though she hides it well. Most probably wouldn't notice, but you're starting to get better at reading her lately. You retreat to the ship's castle at the stern and find it houses two rather luxurious cabins, for a ship that is. There is also a small common area which houses maps, star charts, a sextant, and a ship's compass.

You take a seat at a relatively large table in the center of the common area and start unpacking food. Chryssa takes a seat next to you, conspicuously scooting her seat a touch closer, while the boy sits down across from you. He's eyeing the food hungrily, you suppose you'll have to share. “So, tell me how these voyages-” You're not really sure this qualifies as a true voyage, more of a simple cruise around the bay, but it's of no consequence. “-usually go. What is expected of us?”
(1/2)

The boy tears his eyes away from the warm meal reluctantly. “Usually wha'appens is they'll just take a little jaunt along the coastl an' then loop on back to the village. We get raiders, pirates, and traders occasionally but it isn't a common thing.” About what you expected, then. “What's your name, boy?” He beams proudly. “Husayn! On account of me bein' so handsome! 'least that's what my mom tells me.” Chryssa speaks up, her voice more or less monotone as usual. “Children are so adorable.” This seems to anger Husayn. “I'm not adorable and I'm not a child! I'm a full grown man, a sailor!” Well, that seems a bit of an exaggeration. “I'll fight you, lady!”

So...how well are these raiders and pirates usually armed? What are their motivations for attacking? They know can't possibly escape unscathed attacking well trained water Vatis in the middle of the Ocean, right? What are they, retarded or desperate? Are there any local fauna in the area that might be a problem? DO the rocks in the area pose any significant threat? (For Chryssa)

“I wouldn't do that if I were you.” You caution, tone serious. Husayn hesitates. “Why not? Horns don't scare me, especially not on a girl!” You turn your attention to Chrys. “A demonstration?” She simply nods. “A demonstration.” She busies herself daintily removing the food from the table and then stands up. You scoot your chair back, and Husayn mimics you with a confused look on his face. The deck complains loudly as Chrys grabs hold of either end of the table and effortlessly hoist the heavy wooden construction into the air. She holds it there for several seconds, at one point even holding it one handed, before gently putting it back down where it sat before.

The Husayn's eyes have gone wide by the time she's finished her little display. “Shit, lady! How'd you-” She cuts him off with a pointed glare. He goes quiet in an instant. “It is improper for children to speak such profanity. Watch your tongue.” The kid scrunches up his face in confusion. “What the fuck did I say?” Chryssa shakes her head slowly. “Do not play me for a fool, young man. A foul mouth leads to foul thoughts and fouler actions.” She states this definitively, as if recalling one of the universal rules of the universe. You're not really sure you agree, and knowing the way she thinks when she's angry or panicked you're not really sure she's in a position to be lecturing the kid about his potty mouth, but you'll let it slide.

(1/?)

Instead of getting further embroiled in their argument you hoist the food back into its proper position and start unwrapping it, spreading your veritable feast across the table. This seems to effectively put an end to discussion as both Chrys and Husayn switch focus. Almost timidly, Husayn speaks up. “Might I share the meal, sir?” Suddenly he's as polite as could be. A rather drastic shift from his previous demeanor. You laugh. “Of course! Just don't take the last piece of baklava, it's for a friend.” He nods his head excitedly, plucking up one of the 'kolaches' you believe it was called and biting in. Chrys has pulled a piece of baklava in front of her and unwrapped the oiled parchment, staring at it with a mix of suspicion and curiosity. It takes you digging into your own piece to convince her it's okay to eat.

She chews slowly, face devoid of emotion until the moment she swallows. She smiles just slightly before stuffing another piece into her mouth. Seems she likes it. You have to admit, it's good Baklava. You don't recognize some of the spices you taste but they compliment the dish well and the bread is delightful. Perhaps it could use more honey, but that's a matter of personal preference.

“So tell me, Husayn. How long have you been a sailor?” He pauses mid-bite, reluctantly pulling the kolach away from his face. “About six years now, started goin' out with the fishermen after my pa' got drafted.” You'd come to understand that the Shah's Navy will typically run from coastal village to coastal village forcefully recruiting men of acceptable physical condition, typically for five or six year terms. It's hard to find people who will willingly abandon their families for months at sea. “I was 'bout... ten at the time.” You're relatively certain this kid is lying about his age, there is now way he's sixteen. For one, he's barely above five and a half feet tall. Perhaps not even that.

(2/?)

His age isn't really any of your concern to you, so you decide to simply move on to your next question rather than call him on it. “What kind of fish does one usually catch around here? Any interesting sites to see, places to explore?” The kid shrugs his shoulders. “We get your usual bronze robalo, rope fish, sea bats, and needle nose. You'll also occasionally get some crabs, or polypodes. Way out I've hear fishermen have caught ketos, battled charybdis, and even spotted hydra. None recently though, think those might've jus' been old fisherman's tales. As for interestin' places? They're slim around here, I'm afraid. There are a bunch of coves on the coastal cliffs to the, uh-” He holds ups his hands, thinking for a moment. “-east of here, but nobody ever goes in 'em. Said they're haunted, and only pirates would dare enter.” Judging by the way Husayn scoffs, you can tell he doesn't agree with the caution of his elders.

You certainly hope you won't be facing any mythical sea monsters today. A hydra is said to be the only creature on Earth with better control of water than an experienced Vatis, and charybdis are more like forces of nature than creatures, sucking down ships much larger than the one you're sitting in whole. You have to admit you're not really sure what a ketos is. “What about these pirates? How well armed are they, why do they attack a village protected by a disproportionate number of experienced water vatis? What cause have they to pillage in the first place?”

(3/?)

Husayn shrugs, tearing a piece off of a fruit kolach and speaking through a full mouth. “Well-y'see. Most of them pirates is vatis themselves, they're, uh...” He trails off, chewing contemplatively. Eventually he seems to recall the word he's looking for. “Aghtaki! Yeah, that's it. Y'see, on the seas a Captain is jury, judge, and executioner on his own ship. So we get a lot of sailors tossed overboard for bein' insolent or what have yah. They drown or get picked up by someone passin' by, and more often than not the people passin' by are pirates. Soon as they see that brand they're thick as thieves, fittin' since they are thieves. Anyway, there's this guy-” Husayn gets this look in his eye, a mix of admiration and loathing. “They call 'im the Pirate King of Anthus. Nobody who's seen him in person has lived to tell the tale, or if they 'ave they're part of his crew. He's supposed to be one of the best Vatis to walk the Earth.”

That sounds like an outrageous claim, but you suppose it's not unfeasible that a Grandmaster Water Vatis could quickly rise through the ranks as a pirate. Really, a pirate's life probably wouldn't have been too unpleasant, had you decided to go that route. You're distracted from your thoughts by Darzi's voice filtering through the back of your head. {I'm waiting at the docks, whenever you two come down this way.} You respond promptly. {We're on the painted up sloop moored at the docks, come to the aftcastle.} Darzi responds after a moment. {The where?} You sigh. {The raised portion at the rear of the ship.} She severs the connection after indicating she understood, and you return your focus to the meal at hand. Husayn looks at you oddly.

(4/5)

“Why'd you go starin' off into space, Sir?” You wave a hand dismissively. “Informing a friend of our location.” Husayn scrunches up his face. “How?” Right, most people can't communicate telepathically. You indicate the brooch fastening your cloak. “This enchanted artifact allows me to communicate with my companions, most of them at least, mentally.” Husayn seems suitably impressed, and after a few minutes of bragging about your numerous and varied adventures, leaving out anything of any import of course, Darzi pushes open the door. She looks a little disappointed when she sees you and Chrys, but that quickly shifts to confusion when she notices Husayn. “Who's the kid?”

You give her a brief rundown, relating that he was sent to help you man the ship. Darzi nods before joining you at the table and tucking into baklava you got her, as well as the various other pastries that the three of you hadn't already eaten. Around a mouth full of kolach she ask. “So, did I miss anything?” Chrys is the one to respond. “Not particularly, we have mostly been talking.” Chrys and Darzi share a look, and you feel there is some sort of nonverbal communication going on, but that seems to be the end of it.

My apologies, wrong thread, right now i'm sorta excited since a specie of porn has finally released after a year of waiting and some one is trying to buy it, but can't.

You stand, stretching at length. “Alright, guess we ought to attend to our duties then. Husayn, run up the rigging and throw off our moorings.” Husayn scrambles to his feet, very nearly knocking his chair down. “Right away, sir!” He scampers off after that to attend to the duties you assigned, you turn your attention to Chrys and Darzi. “I'll need you two to help me turn the ship into the wind, you especially Chrys. Which of you has the better eyesight?” Chrys reaches into her cloak and withdraws her Elaudian Death Mask. She's not wearing her armor currently, so she ought to be able to wear it. “Fantastic. Chrys, you'll be on look out. Darzi, what do you know about sailing?” She shakes her head. “Absolutely nothing. I can read a star chart, if that helps.”

You shrug. “It might, but we're probably not going to be out here that long. In that case I'll leave you to do whatever you to your own devices.” With that, you stride out of the aftcastle with a confident swagger. It was nice to be back on a ship. It reminds you fondly of trips with your Master into the middle of the ocean, where he'd toss you overboard before sailing back to shore. You owe your abilities as a swimmer to those trips. You help Husayn run the rigging and then step off onto the docks to help unmoor the ship. Once that's done, you have Chrys grab hold of a rope attached to the side of the sloop while you and Darzi grab a rope on the other side. The strength of the three of you combined, but mainly Chrys, is enough to pull the ship out of its dock and from there the wind does your work for you.
(`/1)

Getting back on is a bit harder. You can simply walk across the water, freezing it in front of you with each step. Chrys takes a few steps back and then runs forward, making a truly astonishing flying leap and managing to grab hold of the ship's rail, hauling herself up deftly. Darzi has the hardest time of it. She ends up following along behind you, nearly slipping into the sea on a number of occasions. Eventually, everyone manages to make it back on board and you dispatch Chrys to climb the mainmast while Husayn and yourself hoist and trim the sails. In a matter of minutes you've gone from moored in dock to sailing off with the wind at your back.

You steer the ship gently into the wind. A few fishermen wave to you as you pass, but by and large the waters are smooth and devoid of traffic. You navigate past a few small islands, each of which is crowded with buildings. Most of them appear to be homes, but you note a few inns, a handful of trading post, and even a shipyard dominating one island. It's rare for a village this tiny to have its own shipyard, most fishing villages either rely on family boats or buy from a major port. Once you're past the islands, it's nothing but the open sea.

The winds pick up significantly once you're out of the sheltered bay the village is situated on, and you have a little trouble keeping the ship on course. However, since you don't really have a course in mind you by and large just go with the flow, trying to stay within sight of the shore at the very least. You find yourself sailing along a sheer cliff face, pockmarked with caves and showing clear signs of erosion. As you sail further on you come across a truly massive cove, the entrance large enough for a frigate to easily fit inside, and it has innumerable smaller entrances that would serve well as escape routes. If you were a pirate, this would be your port of call. Sadly you see nothing inside, and so sail onwards.
(2/3)

The first leg of your journey is peaceful, you don't notice anything of particular note. Around noon you begin to swing the ship around to sail back to port, the ship's boom swinging wildly across the deck and very nearly taking Darzi's head off. Fortunately she has the good sense to duck. However, what draws your attention is not the fact you almost knocked your friend unconscious, rather it's the pillar of black smoke rising on the horizon. It's further out into the open sea, and rather off course really. Nowhere near the village, and thus unlikely to involve a fisherman's vessel. Still, you find yourself curious.

i think miks sense of humour is a little more nuanced than that.

You turn the wheel, shouting down a warning this time to Darzi and Husayn. The boom once more swings across the deck before slamming into place, and the ship coast gently towards the column of smoke in the distance. By your rough estimate, it's about twenty or so leagues away. You shout down to Husayn. “Hoy! What's our speed?” The boy rushes to an anchor, hefting it carefully and tossing it over the edge. After about thirty seconds he counts out the knots remaining on the rope and shouts back. “Eighteen knots, sir!”

You're making good speed. You ought to be able to reach the pillar of black smoke in roughly three hours, or there abouts. That means you probably won't get back to the village until nightfall, but hopefully the risk you're taking will prove worth it. The pillar of smoke continues to billow skywards for the first hour or so, at which point you hear a loud boom. Loud enough that you can hear it from fifteen leagues or so away. Roughly an hour after the boom, the smoke is gone entirely. Presumably the burning ship was sunk, but why, and by what?

It isn't long after that before Chrys's voice filters into your mind. {I think I can spy some debris floating on the water, there might be people in the water. I can't tell if they're alive or dead.} You frown. {Anything else? A ship, an island, smoke, anything?} She doesn't answer you immediately. In fact, several minutes pass before she does. You were starting to think she'd just ignored you. {A thin trail of white smoke, a cookfire I think. Not very distant.} The plot thickens, you suppose.
(1/2)

You start to notice loose planks drifting by the ship, most of them charred. Then barrels of discarded goods. A corpse drifts lazily by, partially eaten. You call down. “Furl sails!”, Husayn rushes to follow orders while Darzi tries to assist, though she doesn't do much good. At least she doesn't get in the way of anything. With your sails furled, you coast slowly into the debris field. It's a mess of floating planks, discarded cargo, and dead men. Unfortunately, you don't see anything of particular worth...

>>34826583

Care to qualify that?

>>34826583
Yup instead of battle armour, its time for explorer armour.

>>34826583
Remember that the centurion can seal itself and allow us to breath/swim better with lots of useful gadget before calling it worst

You press on. “How does the armor affect its wearer? What does channeling vys into the various pieces of armor do?” Sehzade sighs wistfully. “Warlock Armor, as it was called in my day. Hellion Armor, as the Rhynians dubbed it. I'm sure you've already noticed that it innundates the body with Vys. You told me of the adverse effects that particular enchantment was having you already. It also enhances one's strength, sight, hearing, agility, stamina... every physical attribute you can name is doubled, if not tripled while that needle is planted in your spine. Channeling vys into the helmet will activate what myself and my comrades dubbed 'the Sight'. It allows you to see the ebbs and flows of vys as well as... other things.

>>34826604
Soma admitted that it will bite us in the ass if we kept exclusivity using it.

>>34826604
>lots of useful gadget
Most of which aren't even useful in this situation.

>>34826630
Doesn't say anything about deployable floatation devices, did he? If we go overboard in a scrap that armor would become a death trap out here.

>>34826652
The centurion armour doesn't have that as well, but you forget the it tripples our strength and that we are a water vatis, which also gives us a nice bonus as well.

>>34826644
he said that it's not the best armor out there and that if we keep using it instead of better alternative it'll be bad for us. Maybe he added the bit that using the armor itself is dangerous to us, it certainly can't be more dangerous than a spike into the spine on the short term.

>>34826652
I would guess the light weight nature of the construction combined with our natural talent at swimming and the Phys boost would be fine.

>>34826667
As I recall it has air bladders that deploy in water to make us neutrally buoyant.

>>34826667
Yes, yes the centurion armor does have that.

>>34826667
the Centurion has such a device, we discovered it when people chose to jump into the underground lake in the mine.

>>34826719
>>34826690
Forgot about those.

>>34826644
The cent armor is still good not the best but it's still good

I only want to use it till we Git Gud enough to use the Warlock gear without any drawbacks

You reach into your cloak, withdrawing your Centurion Armor. The back slides open and it takes only a moment for you to slip it on, even if it's not necessarily as beneficial as the Hiacian Armor it certainly is more convenient. You also don't have to worry about horrible side effects should you wear it too long. You consider giving Darzi the Elaudian Armor, but decide against it. She has the spear you gave her, and in that armor she'd sink like a stone should she fall overboard. Instead you contact Chrys via the brooches. {Do you have your armor with you?} Her response comes after a moment. {No, but I have my bow and arrows. Should it come to battle, I will remain up here and attack at range.}

That's probably for the best. You've seen her hit targets at over a hundred yards with that bow, so you have no doubt she'll prove highly effective. {Do you see anything?} There is a long pause before she responds. {Perhaps, a distant mountain top, maybe a few buildings in the general vicinity of the cookfires. It's difficult to get a good look.} You spare a glance towards Husayn, who's currently staring over the ship's railing at a corpse with a mix of horror and curiosity plain on his face. You bark out an order. “Husayn! Below deck, now!” He opens his mouth to protest, but upon seeing you've armored yourself he falters. Instead he snaps off a reluctant salute and opens a hatch on the deck, slipping below.
(1/2)

You leave the wheel for a moment, heading for the ship's railing to inspect the wreckage. The ship starts to drift, but with the sails furled it's not a major concern. You note immediately that the nearest corpse is absolutely riddled with holes, and that a large portion of its head is missing. As is its right arm. You also note that many of the planks are scorched, burned, or shattered completely. One has an almost perfect semicircle taken out of one end, the area around it splintered inwards as if from a great impact. You also notice a smell in the air, acrid and harsh. It actually... reminds you vaguely of your Rhynian Officer's Pistol, though much stronger.

You've little idea what might have caused this, yet at the same time you have little desire to find out. There are more corpses in the water than you have crew, and it looks as if these men died a horrible death. There isn't even particularly much left of their once mighty ship.

>Turn back towards the village.
>Sail onwards to the cookfires.
>Write-in

So everyone down to meditate on the egg when we get back?

Lel wat. The Centurion armor is more advanced in terms of the modes of vision and protection, as well as base utility (IE: Magic flammenwerfen gloves)

Warlock armor buffs us to the tits and back and lets us see Vys (Which we see with Centurion armor anyway) at the cost of losing some of our Vys and maybe even our efficacy at casting should we wear it too much.

Centurion is better. Get good.

It hinted that it was more than that actually.

Head back, gather your crew, arm them with the firearms from SK's world and come back tomorrow.

It's peobably about things like that faggot ink skeleton we deatroyed in the mines, only Chrys and we could see it

>>34826830
>>Turn back towards the village.

Can we roll on Intelligence and/or Perception to realize that this ship was sunk by -something- possessing something similar to our Occifers Pistol?

Yeah, its probably that, maybe more depending on what we try.

I'm referring to hatching a dragon in the temple

This is probably sveral ships worth of pirates we're talking about here, with advanced weapons and probably experienced vatis.
Do you lot really think we should be messing with them when we finally have a shot at getting the Entity removed, if only we stay out of trouble? Because we shouldn't be messing with them.

>>34826927
The Metal channeling has amazing defense

Just sayin

What I really want to know is how the fuck a bunch of Pirates got their hands on cannons. Like, seriously.

>>34826927
The Centurion is weaker in combat always has been, always will be.
Now I don't want to start a shitstorm but this is kinda false, while the centurion isn't end game tier it's certainly more than enough to hold it's ground against the hiacian.

Centurion Armor [STORED]: (+5 Soak Damage, Spell Amplification, Magic Detection (Active), Hazmat Gear (Active), Self-Repairing (Active), Health Improvement (Passive), Boost Physical Attributes (Active), Hidden Effects)

Ancient Hiacian Armor [STORED]: (+4 Soak Damage, +2 Attack, +2 Dodge, Passive Vys Gain (2/hour), Passive Health Improvement, Hidden Effects)

Yeah the hiacian gives us trips str+dex+agi yadayada but can it repair itself if something strong enough cave her in like the cent does?
We did get our chest caved in a few times if I recall

>>34827028
Maybe they discovered a lost Rhynian ship and plundered its ancient technology?

>>34827028
>adventure

there are many ways one can acquire such things, if they truly want to.

>>34827000
I'm sure we'll get a warning before it up and hatches.

Also I'm sure that if the there's anyone I would want around when it hatches it this old dude, he's pretty awesome.

>>34827053
Keep in mind, we know a shit ton more about the Cent armor than the Hiacian armor. Also, Soma hasn't updated the Hiacian armor with what we learned from Sehzade.

>>34827053
Most of the Haician armor abilities seem vastly better in a combat scenario.

>>34827084
>wanting the crazy 1000year old guy with forces greater than him keeping him sane to have a chance at stealing our baby
no
just no
we ahould get fire to next level and learn nature and vys, though, to better communicate woth our dragon baby

I'll bet roughly 20 hookers and a pound of cocaine that those are less pirates and more that cunt Elf warlord with the islands mercs running around killing able bodied sailors to weaken the Shah's navy by killing conscript able men, and disrupting the local economy(ies), softening targets he's likely gearing up to conquer.

We still need to channel all of our affects and elements and combinations of them into the Centurion Armor to check out what they do

>>34827087
That's why we can't say the Cent is shit, we wouldn't be here arguing over two suits of armor if the Cent was shit. That metal trick we used a few time with the Cent would be extremely useful with the Hiacian for sure, but I don't think we'd be happy with sniffin' delerium fumes if we had opted for the Hiacian back in the days.

>>34826758
dude, the centurion armor is badass. we dont even know half the shit it can do.
if the warlock armor turns us into captain america, the centurion set turns us into batman

>>34827138
The Elf dude isn't even in this region right now, though. He's like, off the map conquering elves or something.

>>34827140
we have yet to try nature, I think
I'm not sure if effects or meta affect it though, but if they do, the firsst thing to try are leech and manipulate

>>34827138
You Fucking wizard, I hope this is right

>>34827159
Lets ask the old man.

>>34827138
The elf warlord is far north, we're kinda outta his territory here.

Plus he's trying to unite the elves, he'll focus on that before moving outwards. Even then he would try to conquer old Rhynia first

>>34827154
>I don't think we'd be happy with sniffin' delerium fumes
Delerium doesn't really effect Samjan remember.

So, topic of discussion. Will a united Elven Empire look more like Germany post-unification or Yugolsavia post-unification?

>>34827125
That's not the kinda thing he would do.

I just want to cement our place as father figure.

>>34827239
I'd bet it will look more like the Holy Roman Empire post-unification, and actually considering that the Elves were Rhynian subjects it would make sense for them to make that claim.

Soma himself posted that, do the math.

>>34827258
>Holy Yugoslavian Empire

You climb back to the top of the aftcastle and take hold of the wheel. “Darzi, hoist the sails!” Darzi runs about ineffectually for several moments before you sigh, calling down once more. “Darzi, go tell Husayn to come up and hoist the sails!” She stops, folding her arms over her chest. “I can do it! Just... give me a second.” You sigh in an exaggerated manner but motion for her to continue. This time she seems to get her shit together, because after only a few minutes your sails are taught against the wind and you're steering the ship towards what you think is the direction of the village.

“Darzi, run into the cabin and check the compass. We ought to be heading southeast.” She obliges, ducking into the cabin only to emerge a few moments later. “You're heading due south!” She calls up. While that would get you to shore, it would be faster to make for the village directly. You twist the wheel to the left, and after a moment Darzi comes running back out. “Due south-east!” You twist the wheel back onto course and hold it steady, Darzi ducks back inside the cabin, presumably to keep an eye on the compass. {You know, you can always just use the brooches instead of running back and forth.} Darzi responds after a moment, embarrassment clear over your strange mental link. {I'd forgotten.}

After about two hours of sailing Chrys contacts you via the brooches. {Land sighted, due south.} Good, everything is as it should be then. {Keep an eye out for smoke trails, lights, and islands.} She responds in the affirmative, and it isn't long after that before she contacts you again. {Spotted cookfires, slightly further to the south than our current heading.} You correct your course, and after another hour of sailing you find yourself ducking between the islands towards the rocky shore. Husayn climbed back above deck hours ago, and he starts to furl the sails before you even have to give the order.
(1/2)

As you pull towards the dock, Husayn and Darzi grab ropes and toss them overboard towards groups of men on either side of the pier. They grab the ropes and gently haul you into your moorings. One of them calls up. “You're late getting back! Lucky for you, we saved you some fish to gut! Anything happen?”

We still need to work for the mediation

we can send Darzi to report and we just relay messages through the brooch. Plus who knows if they want this information out there

>>34827610
agreed, a deal is a deal send back Darzi and Chryssa and gut fish

Have darzi, abd chrysa gut fish.

>>34827610
Thirding/Fourthing? This.

>>34827610
I don't think anyone will give a shit about the fish once they find out about the massive threat nearby

Make as many ice blades as we can to gut fish like a boss

Eh, depends on if we get a good enough modifier. Or if we can make it into a battle technique which lets us keep 500 icicles floating around our person, flowing with our movement, shrouding us in a cloud of cold death, and can be used as a counter or simple attacks.

>>34827682
Don't rock the boat Anon chill and let the waves carry you out

Read that as shut up and gut the fish

>>34827754
I like the idea. We should practice and meditate on something like that, Icicle Aura.

You know, I have to say that naval exploration sequence was pretty well done. Usually it's hard as shit to make anything related to sailing interesting.

>>34827688
>>34827736
>>34827754
Second

It can be a variation of the technique we learned this morning.

>>34827736
Didn't we promise Darzi we'd tell her about the Entity? I guess if we're sending her back and she protests,, then tell her suggetively that we'll tell her tonight, in her room.
That should make Chrys appropriately flustered

>>34827782
>not frost dagger aura

>not ultima limit break supreme frozen veined emperor of the chilling gale aura
step it up

>>34827736
Can we get confirmation that we're doing this meditation/new technique?

>>34827792
We could probably switch between them whenever, or partial switch. Might be better to upgrade the Varistha's technique by letring us launch icicles from it, instead of floating icicles aeound, bit that depends on Soma. If we learn enough Nature (maybe enchanting could help too) we might even be able to make i semi-independent, so it responds to attacks without us needing to command it. I guess it might be better to limit the independent attacks to nonlethal though.

>>34827883
I was going to put it to a vote in a little bit.

>>34827883
He will likely have us vote on it in the next write up

>>34827886
Don't think a vote is necessary.

Haven't seen anyone vote against it

>>34827915
Being a Naturefag is suffering

>>34827886
Man those final destination style votes just prolong the issue. If this meditation style doesn't start an argument take it as a sign the anons agree for once.
