Maybe not an actual spell or anything, but maybe she like activated her Totom?

It looks like she got some buffs for it at least.

>>37248396
That's what it looks like.

The medium post we just got mentioned Totems, and said to invoke it you need to use the emotion most connected to your totem as a bridge.

Maria's desire to protect people seems like the Raven bridge. But she doesn't seem to be able to really control it, and Eriadne seems to have shocked her out of it.

No really that's the reason. She met us again and was pretty upset.

>>
>>37250944
>>37250542
>>37250481
What bothered me more than the manhating was actually how it lead to her consciously trying to hate Sora into submission. That's just a cunt thing to do no matter what your experiences are otherwise.
Worse, that seems to be normal with her.

>>37251016
Considering she's in grimderp shitville and has cat totem, she seems nice really.

Speaking of it though, that Maria is a cleric?

What? Why do you think so? She explicitly said she didn't even know much of the gods.
>>
>>37251120
No you're right, I confused her Frostlight for the one the clerics get, Watchfire.

Still though, that thing rare in the main timeline.
>>

Kind fo makes me want to see how much of a fight our Maria and Beta!Maria would get into if they met each other.

>>
>>37251278
>>37251090
Yes, the Frostlight is the Witch equivalent of the Watchfire or -less formally- Aura you saw around Liliana/felt around Helena.
>>37251836
Being fat isn't healthy, anon.
>>
>>37252437
Frostlight is rare in the main time line right?

Does it have to do with beta being set in a darker age?
>>
>>37252804
>Does it have to do with beta being set in a darker age?
Or maybe Beta!Maria is just that talented! We'll see more of this later, but in general you can assume it's due to increased need of people/the world/reality/the witch(es) in question.

Turns out I started too late, sorry. BRB sleep, focus is elusive at this hour and I don't think anyone needs a repeat of last time.

Just a rough estimate, would there be a desire for a more long-range specc or is the current direction of Maria's skills alright?
>>37253794
Why wouldn't I? It's probably what helped me push through at last. Stuff's very good at helping me get less tied up in my head.
>>37253475
It is good to be back.
>>
>>37255010
>current direction of Maria's skills alright?
Current is fine. Sora and the others would be better at range anyway.
Though some kind of long range stun would be nice.
>>
>>37255010
what >>37255039 said

have a good sleep Hex we'll watch over you
>>
>>37255039
Oooh actually some kind of grab would be amazing.
>>
>>37255039
>>37255131
But yeah overall keeping Maria's long range magic skills to things that disable people or get them closer to us/us closer to them should be fine.
Any damage we would need to do at range would be covered by our crossbow if needed.

Oh yeah I agree it would be useful, but it kinda sounded like it had been discussed before and I wasn't sure if I had missed something or it had happened somewhere outside of the threads or something.
>>
>>37266353
It was discussed before, I remember people asking about tech levels and crossbows on the AskFM at least a month ago. Not sure how much of it was in the thread.
>>
>>37266353
I think it happened during the aftermath of a thread or something. Dunno, ask OP or the guys who brought it up.

Anon was probably shitposting hard somewhere else and Jan-kun nuked every post he made.
>>
>>37269856
Probably. Might have deleted them to avoid image limit but that's hardly under threat so probably not.
>>
>>37269932
I think that's pretty standard these days.
>>
>>37266353
My apologies, this was indeed mentioned in the meta; Please forgive my incredible rudeness in this regard.

Things known so far: Crossbows can fire specialized ammo tipped with so-called Converter Crystals. A converter crystal has the ability to store or (duh) convert one energy form to another.

Addendum: The most popular crossbow round is a storage-type one that can release heat accumulated over time in one instant, setting almost any target on fire within seconds.

Of course, idiots tend to overheat them, which is among the top four leading ways of stupidly crippling yourself in the setting.
>>
>which is among the top four leading ways of stupidly crippling yourself in the setting.
Workplace health and safety/10.
>>
>>37270151
Hmmm, sounds useful. Will we have any opportunity to acquire one and/or training with it though?
>>
>>37270194
We have Eva who is a trained artificer.
Though wasting them on training may piss her off a bit.
>>
>>37270194
I think it's fair to assume Maria knows a tiny bit about them though with the emphasis on *tiny*.

He can;t turn back time.
This quest will die in three day hell.
>>
>>37272537
eh, whats a few hours? as long as he doesn't expand that into two days, and then three days and so on
>>
>>37272575
To be honest if he ever went past three days for an update I would just stop bumping the thread.
>>
>>37272575
Two days is probably the soonest we will get this time because he normally doesn;t update in the morning.
That's the time of day he throws all his work out and starts again.
>>
>>37272703
>spoiler
Don't say such awful things, anon!
>>
>>37272825
I'm not trying to be mean or anything anon it's just how Hex works.
He works on the update for most of the night and then after he goes to sleep and wakes up he mind fucks him over and he deletes everything.
It kinda rotates through like this for a few days until he's so guilty about it that he just forces as update out and hates it.
It's even worse when there isn't a thread up and it will take people literally screaming at him for him to actually post.
I love Hex's writing, but this stupid cycle of his can get him stuck like this for like a week at a time.
>>
Bump before bed.
>>
>>37270151
I guess these bolts are a one-use kinda thing?
>>
>>37276499
I would imagine the heat required the make someone spontaneously combust would melt the bolt, but maybe there are some expensive materials you can get them in that won't.
>>
>>
>>37276499
Usually, yea. It's the kind of thing that gets rookies whipped by everyone in their platoon in turn because they're as fun to shoot as they're expensive to produce.

I mean sure, Witches do travel with armies for these purposes, but it's never fun having to explain to your superior why you've been booking time with the company's crafter despite no gear failures being reported and there not having been an engagement for weeks.

I'm aware it is an ill omen at best and lacking any credibility at worst, but I was requested to inform rather than stall and I'll do so and assess the created damage later.

I'm currently experiencing a repeat of the technical troubles from a few months ago and frankly it's looking worse. I'll later on perform a thorough cleaning in the hopes of restoring functioning but I'm not optimistic and shall attempt to borrow a laptop from somewhere instead.

>>
>>37286691
I don't think she's an exhibitionist.

At least not more than once or twice.
>>
>>37286691
Liliana seems like she'd make herself available to the kind of people for whom a more intimate experience would be preferred, to be honest.
>>
Something tells me that this thread is going to be the one where we don't get an update at all.

[X] "Uhm…"


Right's that'S where I really stop getting anything! Not that I was ever very good at that in the first place but even then I'd have thought I had at least some small understanding of what's going on. Not so now. Somehow something tells me I just made a terrible fool of myself and I flush, looking away from my friend's impossibly beautiful face for something -anything- else to fix my attention on. Look towards the door maybe… oh. OH. Great, just great, this day really isn't getting any better is it. Well of course not, not when I am getting involved.

At this rate everyone will end up *dead* before the week next begins. Really I need to either get better at what I'm supposed to do or find a way of quietly getting out of here before my terrible luck and totally awful failures at protecting those close to me hurts my friends too much. Like now: Helena is walking in using Liliana as support, limping on one leg and for once looking really miserable.

Yep, I dropped her. Pa would be so disappointed in me right now; I did one thing and completely failed to pay attention to the other. One day and I'm already showing everyone what a failure of a guard I'd have grown up to be. Just perfect, if I didn't know them better I could fool myself into thinking everyone wasn't totally disgusted with me right now, but unfortunately I don't have that option.

Alright, alright, focus, me.. You can at least pretend you didn't notice and try to apologize for being such a complete mess. Maybe they'll forgive you and-- realizing I'm still laying on the floor I seat myself on my , releasing the beast which promptly flutters off my hands and settles down on her crossed legs.

"Uhm…"I begin, somewhat at a loss, still avoiding anything but sideways glances at Eriadne or my other friends who seem busy talking in hushed tones, certainly about how I just messed up everything. Focus, focus, force your body to obey! I can feel myself grow a little more cold and pale, my mind keeping the urge to flush crimson just barely under control. Imagining a golden string of light from center of my head going down into my chest I force my heart to beat slower, breaths calming. Can't quite stop the shivers or what must look like a totally miserable expression though, but nobody is perfect.

Wh-- did Eriadne say anything? Time gets so weird when I'm like this. One of my teachers speculated I wasn't quite "complete" yet, though Pa insisted to say "my training" wasn't and to not worry too much about it. Right right where were we? Uhm, yes, Eriadne tried to tell me something.

"Lady Maria, might you perhaps venture an explanation in regards to your, ah, rather puzzling way of entrance?", right, that was it. Aah, but how to even begin to explain that to her withou sounding like a complete idiot? 'I'm sorry, I just kind of thought everyone was going to die so my Deep Training set off and then I heard some weird voice'? If that sounds silly to myself who knows how it's going to sound to everyone else.

Prove you're not completely common and at least know enough to properly account for your actions. Account? Yes, I'm pretty sure that's how you say it. By all the powers, what a complete and utter mess.

Eep, Eriadne's still waiting, one of her grey-white eyebrows raised, a slight smile playing around those lush lips of hers.

>>37307041

That makes no sense at fucking all.

Do please explain for this retard how that works because I'm not seeing a 1 anywhere in the the first set of rolls I rolled.
>>
>>37307107
>because it's a teacher?
What difference does that make? Why did it/he/she came flying at the group when the door opened?

>>37307153
Shouldn't it be obvious though? Didn't the others just see the teacher flying towards the three girls as soon as they opened the door?
>>
>>37307089
>>37307066
>>37307041
We went OPERATOR on a harmless lizard thing and broke into our room. That's what happened. It's probably Eri's pet and from her perspective we were overreacting as fuck.
> dorks gonna dork

>>37307185

Uhh u wot m8?

Where the hell did the teacher come from? It's some winged beast thing that Eri apparently has control of. Go read the OP.
>>
>>37307191
>Harmless
We opened the door and it comes flying and screeching at us. Harmless is the last thing you'd think with split-secend decision making.
>>
>>37307191
Wait. What about the teacher then? The flying thing was not a teacher like anons just said? Is a teacher around but not what flew? Or is there no teacher at all?

>>37307209
It came from >>37307066

>>37307224
Where the fuck did you get the teacher from anon? Go reread the update in the OP. There is no teacher.

So
>Eriadne's pet monster which Maria never seen before flew to Maria's face first thing she opened the door.
>Maria knocked the thing down
It should be pretty easy to explain.
>>
>>37307222
While sure it's possible it was just being friendly, there's absolutely no way Maria would have known, as she's never seen this creature before. Any normal person would assume it's attacking.
>>
>>37307282
I think the difficult bit about explaining is the whole Deep Training issue and how that might not be a comfortable topic for Maria to talk about.
>>
>>37307282
I assume it's a common pet from Eriadne's home and Maria's reaction would be like someone suplexing your dog because it jumped on them.
Alongside the deep training and the totem stuff.
>>
>>37307303
She doesn't need to eplain deep training.

Well questions have been raised.
>>
>>37307342
She didn't say that out loud. She just thought that explanation would sound ridicilous. She doesn't need to use such an explanation regardless, so it doesn't matter.

She and Eriadne latched on to one another because their relative upbringings made it natural for them to do so.

Her affection for Eriadne is another thing entirely, to be honest, and it seems Lilliana's gifts have made it more obvious in her thoughts what she sees in Eriadne is more than just that initial 'lowly guard, upstanding noble' reaction they started off with.

Maria is so far in the closet Narnia is a dim light on the horizon.
