It's like a great task, far too heavy for me to bear, has suddenly been thrust upon me.How am I supposed to help an entire race? Save the world? Stop the Ceer? That all seems soHi I'm Tali and I'm a huge nerd and writing in a book instead of cuddling with my girlfrienIgnore that, Journal, that was Vaisi.I'll report back later. There's a class meeting.
First
IT'S TIME
Princess carry Vaisi to the meeting and cuddle her you slut
>>2047325Vaisi quick, scribble in his journal more.
>Tali sits with his class. Vaisi and Ceera are sitting close by and the room looks... As empty as usual. Unlike the bustling Root class or the rowdy Thorn, Petal class is more subdued. It's a comfy atmosphere but it makes all the chairs and food set out seem a little sad.>Vendal goes to the stage and clears her throat before speaking."Greetings, everyone! Thank you all for coming. As you know, Petal Class has, historically, received the least amount of funding out of all three classes. This is not out of malice, but merely because we have the least amount of students out of all the classes. The call to heal and restore others doesn't appeal to everyone. However! Thanks to our dear Tali winning the blessing of Lady Minia we have a new surge of funding! So, I am pleased to announce that Petal Class is going on another field trip! We are going to see more of the world and learn of the healing arts of other people."1/2
>>2047325>I'm not quite sure how I should feel about all this. It's like a great task, far too heavy for me to bear, has suddenly been thrust upon me.Come on, Ceera's dick isn't ~that~ big.Yet.
Field trip? But where?
>>2047375>field tripHonestly I hope Tali actually learns something the normal way instead of accidentally stumbling upon long-lost ruins and adventuring.Tali. Keep an eye out for magic involving fertility.
>>2047375"Now... Normally I would have us take another trip to my homeland, where the greatest healers in all the world are found... But, some people have insisted that we diversify...">Lan grins."Soooo.. We will be going to the Aelor homelands, The White Desert... So, I ask you all to pack up just some normal supplies. Rations, survival gear, potions of healing, sunscreen, desert cloaks... We'll meet back here in an hour and head off. So, see you all soon!"Oh man. I've never actually been to the White Desert. What kinda stuff should I bring? The way Vendal says it, it feels like we're going to be in some kinda extreme situation.
>>2047398>What kinda stuff should I bring?Dragons. Go find Ryuko and ask if we can bring Fael and Miika and Gal and Shen.
>>2047393>Tali. Keep an eye out for magic involving fertility.That won't help, unfortunately. Ceer bodies are immune to magic.Wait, could a magical device still operate ~inside~ a Ceer's body? That could be an avenue of development worth exploring.
>>2047398Undine are racist against Aelor for a variety of reasons. Elemental opposition and all that, like how Ceer hate everyone and how Humans hate Elves. Pack the supplies she recommends, wear white clothing and ask Lan if we're going to be going anywhere near her family.Also, tell Avery to like a lava flow while we're there. Tell him it's totally how Aelor become better at making friendships.
>>2047398She made her advice Tali, get said stuff.
>>2047398Have you literally never been in a desert before, Tali?You're gonna burn hotter than the sun. If Ceera comes with, you definitely need to cover her and yourself up with a cloak. Make sure you apply sunscreen on her body vigirously~
>>2047398Bring plenty of water, and see if you can’t learn a cooling spell other than create ice cream.>>2047407I meant relating to the surrogate mother not rejecting the weird fetus.
>>2047398Deserts are great for sunbathing, so bring some swimsuits again.Also, boots, and sunglasses, masks (the kind that lets you breath in dangerous places), condoms, aaaaaand probably something to fend off giant sand worms.
Also ask ort big sister, what she recommends. Lets hang out with her on this Trip a little, would love if she got more screentime.
>>2047398You might want to create a spell to cool yourself in general, though if you wanna get greedy, you could make it an AOE and charge people to get into the area that has this, this, this specially conditioned air.
>>2047398Water. Lots of water. Or a water purification system if you can get one. It's the most important part of the metabolism.Also wear clothing that covers your body to keep the sun off of your skin, but not too heavy so you don't overheat. Maybe a mask could help, along with some darkened glasses to keep the sun from damaging your eyes.You might also want some antivenom for any common venomous animals.I'm not really sure what to bring. I don't know a lot about elf biology or about what the White Desert is actually like. You'll want to do some research beforehand.
>>2047398Get better at crafting spells and you won’t have to worry about being unprepared.Study gods damnit.
>>2047398Actually, it would be nice to check if you have a create water spell, that would make that part easier at least
Rolled 12 (1d20)>>2047398A bodyguard. You need it elf.Why not ask Avery. He's a good friend. He's protect you.
>>2047424I dont think its just some Kind of "common" rejection that would be going on there. It probably has more to do with the Baby beeing pure void and the mother beeing Element infused, fertility magic isn't really an answer. More like a umbilical cord Element Filter or something. At least if I understood you correctly.
>>2047459Honestly unless we can get tali to read his version of “grey’s anatomy” to us, we’re sort of firing shots in the dark here.
>>2047398Does it matter what you pack? You're so damn noodly than you can barely carry anything either way.
>>2047398Bring a mirror. A flame and a reflective surface can be used to signal people from miles away in case you need rescue! It can also be used in dicey situations to peer around corners and under doors, and perhaps foil spells that require direct eyesight to take effect.Maybe you should check at the 50-cent store if she has any warded tents or magical collapsible shelters around, too? If it's too hot to travel in the day or too cold at night, some kind of tent or magical pocket-home would be invaluable for survival.Other than that, the usual water creation spells or magical water dispensers should also be good choices.
Hey, guys, remember when I said I'm just a 17 year old guy and -don't- wanna engage in breeding experiments?Well that still holds true!"<Tali, where are you looking?>"1/2
>>2047500Are you saying you don't wanna impregnate Ceera right now?What are you some sort of pussy, Tali?
>>2047448>>2047490Creating water might have its uses, but magic takes energy and creating something from nothing takes a ~lot~ of energy; it's not something we could rely on in an emergency. On the other hand, a Purify Water spell would be very useful, maybe with Control Water and Remove Poison runes or some variant of that.>>2047424>>2047459One additional problem is that Ceer are weak and sickly due to the lack of elemental forces in their bodies. What if we used a system to partially infuse a fetus or the mother with an element if they're growing too weak to survive, and drain it out later if they're at risk of changing species?
>>2047500Tali go find your dragon and invite her on this trip to her homeland.
>>2047500Oh tali when you look at us like that, you have to know by now, that you are going to end up with 20 cybernetically enhanced Ceer hybrids.
>>2047500Better to have and not need than to need and not have, my boy.
>>2047500go and grab your dragon for the trip you filthy knife-earand yes we remember you said that, we just dont care about your permission to do lewd experiments
>>2047500>17 year old guyOh shit, I'm so sorry Tali, I forgot you're too old to breed. Um, I hear they're working on some magic to let old dudes get it up again.
>>2047500Maybe, but you're also a medical student and I don't think you really decided on something to specialize in. This could be a very fruitful area for further research.
>>2047521Convert heat to water.Convert sunlight to water.Spells like that make the heat a non-issue.
>>2047500Dude if you solve a racial problem they'll probably cough up for childcare fees dun worry about it
>>2047406Iiiiii'm... Not sure I can bring dragons. I don't think that's on the list of approved things. Especially not massive dragons like Galorialum. And Fael is still kinda hard to control. I'm not sure what would happen if I brought her over there.I might lose her... Like a puppy let off it's leash or something.>>2047455I'm pretty sure he's still trying to murder me.>>2047445I know all about the gods! My spells are... Okay.>>2047438>>2047429>>2047422>>2047490Alright, I'll pack up the stuff she mentioned and make sure to get plenty of water. And water related spells...Water is pretty heavily emphasized. I've never been in the desert myself. I've been to the elf lands, undine area... I guess technically humans?The desert will be a new one.>>2047430>Tali approaches the Aelor. She smiles when she sees him approach."Hey, Tali. You excited for the trip?""Kinda, yeah. I've never had a chance to see The White Desert except in books so it'll be interesting. But I was wondering if you had any advice on what to bring.">Her smile widens."I could get you all dressed up if you want. And we can visit the store. I've had to bring plenty of humans into the desert so I know what kinda stuff they need to be comfortable."
>>2047500Tali, you're pretty much plugging your Ceer girlfriend and/or Vaisi every other day. Even if you proclaim that you aren't doing any sort of Ceer/Elemental hybridizing experiments, I think that your habits and dong-habits would suggest otherwise.
>>2047567YES, TALIWE NEED TO SELECT YOU AN OUTFITLan is the best big sister
>>2047567https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DaXJmo9croLET THE LADY DRESS YOU UP
>>2047567Accept Lan's offer. She's probably going to give you lots of baggy and flowing clothing to help create insulating pockets of air around you to keep you cool.Unless Aelor are all extremophiles and pretty much dress however the fuck they want because they aren't bothered by much of any natural environment.
>>2047567Oh man, look forward to drinking your own piss in the suit she puts you in.
>>2047567Tali, it's fine. I mean, Fael has never seen the White Desert before, but she's expected to go there to die. This could be a bonding experience between you and her and get her use to hanging out with your friends.Bring your dragon, dammit.
>>2047567You need light, transparent clothes and lots of jewelry and keep your navel exposed
>>2047567I’m not trying to get you a kid, I’m trying to get you to be able to help other Ceer/Elemental couples have kids. Besides, it’s just theorycrafting so far.Hey, is there a more racially sensitive nickname I can call you than knife-ears?
>>2047582Gerudo Tali when
>>2047583He also responds to Maple Tap. >>2047580Oh man, I hope Tali ends up in a Stillsuit.
>>2047567Suggest that you had an elvish upbringing and so that might be more comfortable preparing as an elf does.Or confess that you're secretly an elf boy to her so you don't die of dehydration on your first day.
>>2047567Well, the two most significant dangers in the desert are the intense sunlight and lack of resources.Here's an idea. Could you bind the Reverse rune to the Water rune to make a sort of "Not-Water" rune? We could make a Purify Water spell with Bind Water (to keep it in one place) and Lift/Remove Not-Water.
>>2047567You should take her up on that offer, she probably knows the place better than anyone else in Petal.
Just to be on the Safe side, have Elfs different needs than humans? Like are they more sensitive to Sun Exposure or need to be watered more often?
>>2047626Tali is brown, he's more resistant to the sun.
>>2047626Also, elves are trees, so the desert will make him grow and photosynthesize.
>>2047569That... Is not entirely my fault.>>2047626I think we do need more water than average. I mean, I drink a lot. I'm not sure how well we do in extreme heat.>>2047595That should be easy. I think I can craft that spell myself. After I get new clothing.>>2047580What.>>2047579>>2047575"That would be great. Uhm... I was uh... Kinda raised near elf lands. So that's what I'm most comfortable with. So if we could get something that would make an elf happy that would be great.""Of course~ Come on, this is one area your big sis can help you out on. It feels like it's been forever since I've been able to do anything for you.">She grabs Tali's hand and takes him to a school store. After some haggling with the shopkeep, Tali comes away with a cloak that will almost certainly keep him from overheating. It comes with a hood to help protect his elf ears. The elf ears that only he can see."So that's what we wear when we travel. Aelor can withstand the desert normally but there's sometimes pockets of extreme heat or vicious sandstorms. We'll be avoiding all that for the trip so you should be fine. Now... That's just what we wear when we travel, wanna try on some traditional Aelor clothing?">Lan grins.I don't think I'll like this.1/2
>>2047653Tali, tell her to give you a Stillsuit. That's all you need.
Rolled 14 (1d20)>>2047653>wanna try on some traditional Aelor clothing?"YES DO IT, TALITHE POWER OF THE ORB COMPELS YOUTHE POWER OF THE ORB COMPELS YOU
>>2047653Do it Tali. Entertain Lan. C'mon, she's a cool lady and this'll be fun for both of ya.
Yes Tali you want to try on more traditional Aelor clothing. Also traditional Aelor pircings and brandings.
>>2047653ur a cute schoolgirl remember u gotta play da role. BE EXCITE
>>2047653But we will.And I bet your girlfriends will.
>>2047653You do realize it'll be women's clothing, right?You know? Since you're disguised as a lass and all.You could do it anyway though.
>>2047653Look on the bright side. At the very least, it’ll provide Vaisi with more ideas and some variety in your routine.
>>2047653>That... Is not entirely my fault.Don't worry about it. I'm pretty sure Ceer can't get Elves pregnant.>I don't think I'll like this.I think you'll like this.
>>2047583Tree hugger.
>>2047653"Ta da~ Men have a different top but this is what we usually wear. I think it fits you really well, Tali! Fills everything out. If you were in my hometown of Lan you would have all the guys after you.""...........""What do you think?" She asks the shopkeep.2/3
>>2047741That's actually kinda cute.
>>2047741Damn, no lie, TaliIf I saw you on the streets, I'd seduce you so quick, no homo
>>2047741Yes.YES. Fucking do it.
>>2047741Wear it It would be disrespectful otherwise
>>2047741YES
>>2047653>So if we could get something that would make an elf happy that would be great."Are you sure about that Tali?
>>2047741It looks lovely on you.I don't think it's very practical, though. There's too much skin exposed; you'll need protection from the sun and the harsh, sandy winds. Maybe some longer pants would help.
>>2047741I like it. But I think the cloak would be better to conceal you getting a BJ.
>>2047741It looks fine, roll with it.
>>2047741Tali, has anyone told you that you would make a really cute girl even if you lacked the assets that your illusory self has?
GERUDOOOOO ELF-FIT
>>2047741>Ninety-Nine Copper gives a thumbs up."That will be 78 Alm, please." She says."Don't worry, Tali, I'll buy it for you~ Let your big sis treat you. Ah, you look so lovely in that. It reminds me of home. Ninety-Nine, can I get one for myself too?""Certainly. That will be 98 Alm.">Lan pays. Tali now has all the supplies he'd need to survive. And some clothes.I think I'll just stick with the cloak."Thanks a lot, Lan.""No problem, Tali~ Anything else you need?"
>>2047741GERUDO ELF-FITDon't ruin this, be nice to the shopkeep
>>2047741That's actualy cute. But i was thinking in something else.Bet Ciera will love this.
>>2047567Tali, you elf bitch, charge your goddamn mana crystal before you go. You have the spell.Also, while you are there, steal heat from the environment around you. It will reduce your ambient temperature while giving you additional mana.
>>2047794and a drink to forget that you wore all this
>>2047794>dat drollWell guess crossdressing will be a new thing in bed.
>>204779499 you scalper, you.
>>2047794>Anything else you need?A stillsuit, a couple thumpers, a grapple rope, a ritual knife, a personal shield and Fael. Don't forget the Fael.
>>2047794You should get 99c a new outfit, TaliShe's part of petal class too
>>2047794Breathing masks, hats and sunglasses.
>>2047804>>2047794Double elf bitch!
Rolled 2 (1d20)>>2047794Wear the outfit, you pansy. Also outfits for Ceera and Vaisi. Oooh, and probably water containers and sunblock would be a good idea tali, you're such a fragile thing.Maybe some sort of cover or veil. Y'know, to keep sand and insects outta your mouth. ...For your own good.
>>2047794Something to wear over it, like a thin veil. We're supposed to be avoiding the really dangerous areas, but when you're being prepared you should be prepared for the worst.Okay, once we get sunscreen, that should cover environmental protection. After that, we'll want extra food and water for traveling, standard first aid supplies like bandages and antivenom, a tool for communication if you can get one, and some packs that are large enough to hold anything we want to collect on the way.
>>2047794Don’t forget to check if 99c has any warded tents or other forms of collapsible and portable camp housing!
Larro is kill
>>2047843>>2047827I think you guys are just messing with me.>>2047804I'll charge the crystal! Geeze... I just got a bit iffy since I almost dropped the school last time I did that. But, it will be charged.>>2047819>Tali makes a note to buy Ninety-Nine an outfit later. It would be weird if I bought one right after I got all this for free.>Tali and Lan end up buy a lot more supplies, mostly for Tali. Lan assures him that she'll be fine on her own without much effort. "Here. You probably won't need this but just in case...">She hands Tali a small whistle."Dragons hate the noise that thing makes." She says, "So it might keep them away. But, if you use it too much they'll just burn you to a crisp instead. Or spit poison at you. Same thing, really.">In the end, Tali has a giant pack of supplies, kept in a pack that is made light with a few runes and gems. Inside is a smaller pack in case he gets anything from there and a makeshift shelter.>Lan laughs."It's like you're preparing for the end of the world.""Well, better safe than sorry."I think that's everything except the dragon. Cause we're not bringing a dragon.
>>2047976True, TaliLet's get this show on the road. Fael can be left in good hands with Ryuko and Shen.
>>2047976I still think you should bring a dragon. Either way, time to meet Vendal III and the rest of Petal for fun and oh my god I just realized Vaisi is coming she's going to see you like this ahhhhhhhh!
>>2047976Yea, we're bringing the dragon. Just have her keep an eye out for other dragons that may want to take you.
>>2047976Tali, she just gave you a Dragon Rape Whistle. You know what the best protection against Dragon Rape is? Your own Dragon.Now go get Fael.
>>2047976Go hold hands with your girlfriends, human girl.But seriously, what nickname can I call you that isn't a racial slur?
>>2048003cumslut
>>2048003Treehugger.
>>2047976go get your damn dragon, to protect yourself from wild dragon rape
Rolled 12 (1d20)>>2047976Go get Fael. You're either getting Fael or Ceera and Vaisi get to spitroast you.
>>2047976If we do bring Fael alone we should shrink her own to our size, you know, so we're not walking around with a giant dragon
>>2048003Fae? Treefucker, Sap Sommelier(ss), rape bait.
>>2048022I thought that was implied.
>>2048003Slut.
>>2048028Yea but Tali's not exactly the brightest elf around
>>2047976>Anti-dragon whistle>Cause we're not bringing a dragon.Tell Lan you were actually thinking about bringing a dragon. You know, because every time you leave the school you manage to run into an eldritch horror or something and nearly get killed.
Okay, fine! I'll go get Faelanerium! And don't call me any racial slurs!Just... Tali. Tali will do. That's my name and everything.>>2047989I'm not sure I want Vaisi to see me like this. I can already picture what she's gonna say. I'll just wear the cloak over this.---------------------------------------------------------------->In the dragon cave, Faelanerium lays atop her hoard. It has grown quite a bit since Tali last saw it. Apparently, after beating her rival, she claimed her hoard as her own. Her rival is left with nothing but shame."You want me to go with you to The White Desert..?" She looks around. "Well... I was going to nap on my hoard all day but... I will go. Then you and me can fight the magma dragon there and lay claim to the entire land. It will be fun, Tali."
>>2048087Sounds like a great adventure. Let's go.
>>2048087Tali, don't worry, dragons normally go to the White Desert when they're old and about to die. It will want you to kill it and won't be mad at all.Also if you try and back out of it now Fael will crush you. Take her with you.
>>2048087We're still young and have time Fa'el instead of fighting it, just scout out it's lands. We will likely need to grow more powerful than we already are to make that happen.
>>2048087We can probably buy her something cute and distract her from Dragon Murder. Shrink her cute butt down and let's go.Also, this >>2048099Tell her we're just scouting out it's domain right now, so we know all it's weak points or something.
>>2047976>I think you guys are just messing with me.We're not kidding. A desert is one of the most inhospitable environments you can find on a life-supporting planet.We don't need to bring a dragon, though. Because that's supposed to be a secret. Also it would be kind of rude to ask that out of nowhere.>captcha: espacio transyDon't be mean to Tali, captcha. He's not like that.Well, I don't ~think~ he's like that.
>>2048087I know this offer seems scary, Tali, but you know full well this trip isn't going to be uneventful no matter what. At least this way you get to know what the event is in advance.
>>2048087Tali, shrink her down.SHe'll be too dangerous to have in full size
>>2048113Oh shit I almost forgot. SWITCH ON THE GREEN ORB, WE NEED KARMA POINTS.
>>2048087This is going to be very hard to explain, and also unnecessary because we're traveling with the whole class.
>>2048124We were traveling with the entire class in Undine lands and Cutethulhu still tentacled us mercilessly.
>>2048118Not in a desert. The number of things that can go wrong in a desert is very high.>captcha: CHEMIST SchoolOkay, the number of things that can go wrong there is also fairly high, but that's beside the point.
>>2048087I'm down for fighting a magma dragon
>>2048087Have Fael gotten bigger? Oh i guess it's just her natural greatness.
"We're just going to scout the place out. No fighting. Especially not with something that big. Not yet. But I think it would be good for you to go to see your uh.. Homeland? Go there and explore. Maybe get a few things for your hoard.""... I could use some new items. I've already licked all of these. Very well. Make me like a puny human person, Tali.">Tali casts the shrink spell on Faelanerium. She makes a small explosion and changes her looks so that she appears to be a normal green haired human girl."Tada! Now I look as weak and puny as any other human!""... You look pretty adorable like that, actually.""... I will overlook this once, Tali, but I am not adorable. I am a fearsome dragon.""An adorably fearsome dragon?""...... Acceptable.">The pair head back into the school. In the courtyard, Vaisi approaches them."Taliii~ Look what your dutiful girlfriend got you~ Desert clothing to keep your precious, soft, elf skin intact! And I even got you native clothing from the-""I'm already wearing that." Tali says, interrupting her while opening his cloak. ".... Holy shit, Tali... I'm gonna rape you so hard right now.""What? No. We only have like 15 minutes before we're supposed to meet.""I swear to all the fucking gods, I won't even need that long, holy shit you are hot in that."1/2
Rolled 8 (1d20)>>2048211Let her do it, you fuccboi knifeear
>>2048211Not with Fael around, missy. Don't wanna corrupt the youth.
>>2048211tell her later.
>>2048211You really are the luckiest "girl", Tali.
>>2048211Are you sure you cast the right spell, Tali? Fael's looking a bit... short-legged.>".... Holy shit, Tali... I'm gonna rape you so hard right now."Use Fireball. Vaisi needs to learn that "no" means "no". She's already crossed the line once, and you shouldn't put up with her doing it again.
>>2048211eat shit fucboi
>>2048211Not in front of the dragon
Rolled 14 (1d20)>>2048211Assert your dominance over her by denying what she wants! Gotta maintain your position when in front of the dragon
>>2048211Not in front of the child, Tali!
>>2048211>Before Tali has a chance to complain, Fael jumps in front of him."You will not lay a hand on my rider!""Rider? Pffffffffft." She laughs. "I totally am gonna hop on that piece of finely crafted elven wood. Our ancestors would be fucking mortified by the things I will do to that boy. But I guess I'll keep my raging lady boner contained until there isn't a poison spitting dragon looking like she's ready to rip me a new, not fun, orifice.""Uhm... Thanks, Fael." Tali says.>The dragon smiles at him and gives a thumbs up.Normally, I would totally be down.. But I don't like being late for things. And Faelanerium is here.>Tali and his group assemble in the meeting room. Vendal counts off the students and, once she's sure everyone is there, leads them to the teleportation crystal. It glows."Alright, get ready to see the amazing White Desert! Everyone, hold hands, we're teleporting.">Tali grabs Faelanerium and Ceera's hand. Vaisi grabs his butt.>They teleport.2/3
>>2048256See Tali, what did we tell you? Fael's already pulling her weight as your Anti-Rape Dragon. Give her some headpats.
>>2048256>There's a crackling sound. Tali feels like he's being pulled in a million different directions at once. His heart starts racing. This is not how a teleportation should feel.>He hits the ground with a hard thud, the sand softening the impact of the blow. He stands on unsteady feet and sees that he's... In The White Desert.>Lan groans and stands up beside him."That hurt...">Tali looks around....Where is everyone?
>>2048256Tali, you've gotta put a leash on your pets and I don't mean Fael.
>>2048271Ceer are trying to assassinate you via teleportation interference. Remain calm.
>>2048256Whisper in Vaisi's ear "If you can hold out then when we get back, I'm going to lock you, me, and Ceera in my room all night, and do everything.Can you behave that long while I'm teasing you?"
>>2048271...Oh shit. Luckily Fael in is tiny form, hopefully she remembers the pecking order with Vendal and follows her. Ask Lan if she knows where we are and have your Gun and Rape Whistle ready, Knife Ears.
Rolled 7 (1d20)>>2048271Tali, I'm sorry, but you're probably going to die out there.That or become some sort of Jedi master. Either way, better make yourself comfortable with a bit of comfy magic and then decide on a plan.
Gonna go to the store real quick. Be right back!
>>2048271Well, you’ve got Lan. That’s good for you.The real question is: will Faelenarium behave without you there?
>>2048271Good thing we got all those supplies!
>>2048296That's what my father told me, Larro.
Rolled 7 (1d20)>>2048296Larro's going to the store to get some smokes.MAQ is now an abandoned child.RIP
>>2048271>Teleport gone wrongAnd there's trouble number one. It must be the Ceers' doing.Is Fael not here? That's troublesome... and means you can't keep her out of trouble. Can we make a spell to locate or talk to her? Or even summon her like we do our armour, if that's safe to do.Also, if you still have that earring with you then you should let Holly know you and Lan ended up in the middle of nowhere.
>>2048271I feel like being stranded alone in the desert with Lan is a good opportunity to let her in on the boy elf secret at some point.Also, better make sure we still have all of our stuff on us. If we were able to be separated from people while holding their hands, we better make sure we still have our pack of supplies.
>>2048312Don't worry, he's spent years preparing me for this moment.
>>2048271
>>2048271We should Detect Soul. If they're anywhere within a reasonable distance, they'll show up as either a large cluster of tods (which probably means something deliberately targeted us) or scattered all over (which means the teleport spell just went wrong).Either that, or this is some sort of secret test and you were meant to be stranded.Don't panic; we've got survival gear and magic, we can get through this.>>2048303>Good thing we got all those supplies!...Do we have all those supplies? I don't see them around anywhere, but our view is kind of zoomed out.
Rolled 7 (1d20)>>2048336So you're gonna run and get some smokes to, avoiding larro ditching his child on you as well Lamb?
>>2048336LAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMB
>>2048271Does this normally happen when teleporting to the desert? Lan should know.
>>2048351Automated response: Out getting beverage>>2048353KHAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN
Rolled 19 (1d20)>>2048366You're the heir to larro's quest then, lamb?So does that mean you'll bring back Hero Quest and unsink the Titanic?
>>2048372Man you guys are going to love the arc where it turns out that Rena is Tali and Vaisi's secret baby, but they don't know and so get into a massive climactic battle over who gets the last piece of lasagna.
Rolled 7 (1d20)>>2048374Lamb who wins in a fight over lasagna: Rena or Garfield?
>>2048381The fight ends with them both in separate ambulance after they both collapse due to their lack of fitness.
As her rider, didn't we have a spell to summon Fael? I remember using it in the crossover thing, but I'm not sure if the spell itself is canon.
>>2048427Not suggesting we do that right now, tho. not just because we'd have to reveal to Lan that we're a dragon rider, but also because being in armor in a desert is probably a bad idea.
Larro is killRIP in peace
I made it back!
>>2048521But you look like you died!
>>2048544He will get better.
>>2048521Audit when?
>>2048521LARRO YOU AWOL SLUT GET BACK HERE
>>2048313Fael's nowhere near here. All I see is sand as far as I can see.... And some ponds off to the east.>Tali tries to use his earring but all he gets is static.Okay, can't call for help...>Tali reaches for his spellbook. He still has that and all the supplies he brought with him. That should keep him comfortable for a few days at least. Vendal really planned for the worst, like she knew something this bad could happen."Okay... This is okay. We don't have anyone else around us but at least we have our supplies."Well, most of them. Looks like I lost the air controlled tent that I'd packed. Still, more than enough food and water... How bad is the desert at night?"Tali...">Tali looks at Lan. She appears stricken and pale."I lost my artifact... I don't know where it went..."Oh, geeze, I've never seen her like this before."It's okay, Lan. We'll find it and the others. I just...""I didn't even drink before we came here. I haven't been sober in so long..." She scans the horizon. "No landmarks...">The Aelor closes her eyes and sniffs the air."Okay... I can smell some Aelor not too far from here... And an undine but very far from here... It'll probably be night by the time we reach them, if we don't move. The undine, that is... I can survive the travel, which would you be more comfortable with?"
>>2048574Get the Undine! They won't survive long in the desert, Tali!Also, see if you can make an alcohol spell for Lan, this is bad.
>>2048574Okay Tali, you think you can whip up a quick detox spell? She's going through withdrawal, and from the looks of it a fairly severe one. Make sure she stays at the same temperature, no flaring or rapid cooling, and hope you made that water spell before you came, because we're gonna need it.
>>2048574I think Vendal stranded you here on purpose.As a healer, our first priority is seeing to the ill and wounded. Right now, that means looking after Lan; severe alcohol withdrawal can be debilitating or even fatal, but I don't see any runes which we could combine to represent alcohol. We'll just have to be careful and help with her symptoms.Next we should worry about the undine that's near here; she might be injured and need our help. If the aelor are in a group, then they could look after each other, but a lone undine could be in severe trouble.
>>2048604her gourd itself probably had the alchohol rune on it, or a combo that made it. so probably that Z looking shape in the middle, bottom looks like water. so this thing probably says something like "convert water to alchohol"
>>2048574Aelor. They're more likely to have alcohol. The undine is almost certainly a student.
>>2048574Time to be a petal Tali. Learn the alcohol tune from her and get spellcrafting for a detox spell.And if you can’t swing that, you might just have to keep her dosed up with comfy.Get walking to the undone while you spellcraft, champ.
>>2048610>>2048621We've known the alcohol rune for a good while now.
>>2048604I swear to god if she did this on purpose I will not be a happy elf...But first...>A 'Convert Water to Alcohol' spell is beyond simple to make. Tali turns one of his water rations into a bottle of alcohol. He hands it over to Lan."Tali..." She takes the bottle and takes a sip. "Hey, I'm sorry if I uh... Worried you. Don't worry about me, though, okay? I can survive without alcohol. You can't survive without water. So, keep the rest of your rations.""Alright. But in the meantime I'm going to be working on a detox spell.""Detox spell?""Yeah. You know, to make sure you get everything out of your system in case we run out."".... We'll leave that as a last resort. I haven't had alcohol in me since I was 12. So... Last resort..."..I don't think this is healthy.I'm not sure if I can tell her that, though. She seems functional for the most part, even if she drinks constantly."Alright. Let's go after that undine then. I'm not sure how long they could survive in the desert.""Yeah, they tend to be pretty squishy." She takes another drink. "You sure you'll be okay to walk all the way over there?""Yeah. How hard could it be?"==================================Oh god I'm dying...My.. My hair is turning brown.how can some place be so hot....1/2
>>2048627Your hair turns brown when you're dry, Tali?Just like a real tree!
>>2048630Oh joy...."Wow, Tali, you're really taking this well. I haven't seen a human travel through the desert and still look good. Especially since we're in one of the hotter areas.""........."I'm going to die if I keep going.
>>2048636“This is just my game face. I’m actually suffering. Hold on a second while I try to make a spell to turn heat or sand into water.”
can't we make a spell that turns ambit heat into cool air?
>>2048636Yeah, no, start gradually amending your glamour to let your discomfort show or it's gonna start looking suspicious.
>>2048636Drink more water, Tali!Oh man, you shouldn't have converted that alcohol.
It's almost midnight so we'll pause here for now. Thanks for reading everyone, we'll be running against tomorrow!
>>2048649>running against tomorrowWhat did he mean by this?
>>2048636I should have thought of this earlier, but you could use a Pull Water spell to collect the sweat that leaves your body. We'd need to add a spell to cool it down, though, before you drink it again.Also, don't you have spells for flying? Or is that not practical for long-term travel?How about Convert Heat to Reverse-Gravity? The hotter it gets, the lighter you get, and you'll be cooled off too! But maybe add a cutoff function so it only starts when you're warm and stops when you're cold, so you don't end up freezing yourself by accident.
>>2048627>how can some place be so hot....It's so hot because there aren't any plants here! Water takes more energy to heat up than air or rock, so in most places all of the water in the plants, the ground (which is held there with help of the plants), and the air (which evaporates from the ground and plants) keep the environment from heating too much during the day and cooling too much at night. But since there aren't any plants here, there's no water, either, which means there isn't anything stopping it from getting deathly hot during the day and freezing cold at night. Isn't science fun?>I'm going to die if I keep going.For the heat situation there's not much to be done other than turn the ground into cold water and use magic to keep yourself cool.You know, walking seems really inefficient, given the whole magic thing. Flying's probably a bit of a waste of mana, given the need to fight gravity, but maybe you could make a magically propelled sled or wagon? Or a boat, if you don't mind wasting mana and want to travel in style.If you're really desperate, then you might also be able to amplify the sound of your whistle enough to get a dragon's attention...
>>2048636Now imagine how the undine must be feeling. Maybe when we get were it is we will just find some dried up eel.
>>2048641>>2048636Oi! Knife ears! I thought I told you to use the spell that drains heat and turns it into mana. You and Lan could have been walking peacefully and comfortably for the last hour WHILE gathering mana.Now, then, what I want you to do is use a spell to convert sand into glass (Lan probably has the rune for glass). You are going to make a flat bottom boat. Then you just need to cast propel object on it.
>>2048724Note, for the boat, you may need to have Lan riding shotgun and casting a reinforcement spell on the glass while you steer the ship. Tempered glass is surprisingly strong.
>>2048724Sand surfing sounds like a decent idea
>>2048627>>2048636Shoulda wore a Stillsuit, Tali. It collects all your sweat and body fluids, and filters it back into cool, drinkable water.You only lose a thimble of fluid a day/
>>2048636Guess what? You'll also die if you don't keep going!
>>2048848Drinkable, certainly. But if you think a stillsuit is going to chill your water for you, you're going to get a mouthful of warm disappointment.
>>2048636It just occurred to me... does our glamour not reflect our facial expressions at all? Do we always look like that, all the time, like a monopose videogame character? Because that's kinda creepy.
>>2048886Tali just never remembers that he has to manually puppet the face.
>>2048886Does that mean that if he passes out right now he'd still look smiley? That's VERY creepy.
>>2048860Where did I say it would chill your water? Please, point it out.
>>2049023"Cool, drinkable water" I presume.
>>2049026In the middle of a desert, I'd describe all drinkable water as cool and refreshing. Even if it's body temperature, it just has to not be desert hot.Even then, that problem can be solved with magic and we can make a Stillsuit that chills your water for you.
Ice cream magic. Can we convert sand to ice cream? How about turning heat energy into ice cream?
If we converted sand to alcohol, could we set the desert on fire?
>>2049436We should figure out a transmute sand to dragon spell.
>>2049722Sadly, I don't think that will work. Fleshcrafting, like other magic, runs heavily on intention. Much like how the parasite Undine can't just make simple "water to human body" spells, no fleshcraft will really work without the user having a good understanding of what the thing they're making actually is. Otherwise you'll end up with a dragon that's just solid fat all the way through or something because you didn't picture the organs.
>>2050009Is it still fleshcrafting if the thing you're trying to make doesn't have flesh?
>>2050139Dragons are made of flesh. So, making a dragon would be fleshcrafting. That said, we don't even know if you can actually create something alive from a nonliving source.
>>2050194>Dragons are made of fleshMAQ Dragons are made of Bone, Fire and Magic.
>>2050194Nope. Dragons are made of fire magic, smattering of a few other elements and a lot of fuck you.
>>2050197>>2050206I mean, sure, but for that matter Aelor are made of fire and humans are made of Wind.
>>2050219In their natural state, dragons are literally just a mass of elemental energy and bones. They multiply by slamming together violently enough for the energy thrown around to gain its own consciousness.
>>2050219No, we mean literally made of fire. Their body is a half illusion half magical shell containing fire that is lethal. More akin to fire elemental than flesh dragons.
>>2050219This is a Dragon. It's literally bones surrounded by magic fire. The Humanoid form is like a magical shell they use to interact with the Races without burning shit.
>>2050247Huh. I guess I never looked very closely to images of dragons, because I never noticed it was just a skeleton under the magic aura. I stand corrected.
>>2050247Fael should ask dragon senpais of the past to make her less Fael and yet more.
>>2050317We should try and touch Fael's butt scale.
>>2050323Reminder that we are only partially immune to Fael's acid.
>>2049436Why not convert sand to chlorine trifluoride? That'll set the rest of the desert on fire by itself.
>>2050323Scritches just above the tail.
>>2050254Dragons were created by the demi-god of Fire, using humans and several other animals as a base and just adding a metric fuckton of fire.The result is a flaming lizard skeleton that can put on a human shell. Most dragons tend to lounge around with the shell on to avoid burning/melting/disintegrating their hoard or the land around them.Sometimes they'll transform back to their dragon form just to 'stretch'.Also, creating life out of nothingness is insanely difficult and might be against divine law. Even fleshcrafters like Kuro know that making an entire body is damn near impossible. It's also why Holly, despite being a fantastic healer, fucked up healing her throat. She has vast knowledge of the human body but stitching back severed body parts requires a bit of finesse.
>>2050598So we can't transmute sand to dragon?
>>2050598Note for the future: Figure out how to politely request exemptions from divine law.
>>2050603You'd be able to create a fascimile of a dragon at best.It still wouldn't have a soul since soul creation is not 'practically impossible', it's literally impossible without divine help.
>>2050613But we can program a magical AI on them, right?
>>2050613What if we used a voice from the orb as a soul?
>>2050620I volunteer for this mission
>>2050613So going off that reference of the fire and magma dragons if we somehow upgraded Fael into the first ever radiation dragon (radiation is basically super-poison, right?), she'd triple in size?
>>2050620That sounds like a wonderful idea and I'm totally on board.
>>2050620Where would you find a soul to force into a dragon from amongst our number? You can't just kick one of us out. Freaky Fish Facts: Anchovies fart in order to help direct the school away from predators as well as communicate with the greater whole.
>>2050732We've already had two volunteers, freaky fish facts.
>>2050738Hunh, I took those as sarcasm. Well, if they really do want to be dragged from the aether and shoved into mortal form, to suffer upon a forsaken rock. Well, all the more for them really.
>>2050738So how are they planning to make their souls available, kill themselves?
>>2050748Nah, we'll just use a simple brain-mind-orb-soul-body transfusion.
>>2050758Just hollow out the brainpan and give us little mech controls.
>>2050747I'm all up for it.>shoved into mortal form, to suffer upon a forsaken rock.Jokes on you, brovoice, I'll get to touch all the tails I want while you'll be stuck with Tali.
>>2050778You seem to be forgetting where we oft end up as an orb good voice. Especially when Vaisi is around.
>>2050758Seeing how the only spell we saw that can transfuse a living soul to a new body is a) a graduate spell with an incomprehensible rune, b) random, and c) self-only, I don't think Tali can quite manage to do that.
We gonna start soon, Larro?
>>2050794I'm sure Tali can follow simple instructions, how could he muck it up. This is as easy as putting mana from a small gem into a larger one.
I don't think I'll be able to run today, guys. Got class in a bit. We'll be running tomorrow for sure!
>>2048886I like our sameface tali.She's so earnest, that even when she collapses of exhaustion, she maintains the expression.
>>2050854Good luck in class, Larro!
>>2050598So Leviathans, Sylphs, and Vorors are the same, just replacing the fire with water, air, and earth respectively then?
>>2050854RIP Tali
>>2051812That's really nice, good job.
>>2051812Friendship ended with Tali. Now Sunbathing Skeleton is my best friend!
>>2052819Yeah he's Seems like a good new host. Very laid back and easy going. Not like our little over stressed and insecure tree hugger.
>>2050854LIES
>>2051788Basically. The minor gods of the land got jealous of all this new life being created and wanted to make their own. It had mixed results.
Wait... My glamour doesn't change expressions!?I have to fix that!1/3
>>2053459Aw, but that was fucking adorable and it set you up as some kind of vaguely mad person, which explains all the achievements you had thus far!It's the PERFECT CON!
>>2053459Keep that smile on!
>>2053459“Subtle”, tali.
>>2053459That's better. No need to stop smiling, tho.
>>2053459PfftYou some kind of idiot, Tali?That's why everyone notices why you're so happy.
>>2053464though, if we kept the smile but added a bunch of sweat, it would add to the "vaguely mad" part EVEN MORE.
>>2053478Seconding.
>>2053459Your skills as an illusionist were overstated
>>2053471>>2053466>>2053464Alright, smile back. I guess I'm just super happy about dying...Though, you guys do have a good idea. Why the hell are we walking? We have MAGIC!And I have a gem with damn near limitless mana."Lan, I think... We need some kinda sand boat. Can you make one?""I don't have my spellbook or anything but.. I'll see what I can do.">Tali flips through his book. There it is, propel target. A simple spell that should keep anything gliding through the sand so long as he has the mana for it.Now, we just need a-"Done." Lan says, as she displays what looks like a craft made out of sandstone and glass."How did you make that so fast?""When I was a kid we used to make things like these all the time. We used them for sledding down dunes. This one is just bigger than what I normally used. I crushed the sand together and heated it with my internal fire til it melted. I won't be able to make anything like this again for the rest of the day but it should be enough.""It's perfect."2/3
>>2053492man, if we had a sail we wouldn't even NEED magic.Fuck that though, we're wizards.Wait, isn't a sled made entirely out of glass extremely dangerous to anyone who isn't as tough as an aelor?Nah, I'm worrying too much. Right tali?
>>2053492Remember to use your staff too Tali, and stand on the bow while you do it, you'll look cool and cut the mana consumption something fierce.
>>2053502We should be fine, Tali's a dragon rider and this glass was a dragon at one point in time.
>>2053502Thick glass is fairly durable, and heavy.I might've been wiser to magic the cloaks together and reinforce them for a lighter vessel.
>>2053502Not much wind in a desert. And when there is, it's BAD news.
>>2053492Aw snap, TaliWe're skidding now
>>2053510I think that’s depends on the type of glass, but I’m sure Lan knows what she’s doing.
>>2053492oh, and remember: you were super happy about all sorts of HORRIFYING situations throughout your school career.Vaguely mad!
>>2053492Set orb audio output to Wipeout by the Surfaris.
>>2053524How many times has Tali had public near-death experiences by now? How many serious, heartfelt conversations? I think most people assume the constant smile is part of Tali’s tragic backstory that must the students here seem to have.
>>2053524Man, I thought girl tali couldn't get cuter, but it turns out i'm just an idiot.
>>2053506Oooh, that's a good idea.>The pair hop into the makeshift craft. It feels fairly durable, if a little warm. Tali pulls out his staff and mana gem and casts the spell, amending it to take energy from the gem rather than him.>The craft takes off, easily tripling their speed over the shifting sands. By pouring a bit more mana into the spell they can go even faster, and Tali can feel cool, if dry, air blowing past him.>Lan undoes her cloak and sets it off to the side, the Aelor still hasn't even broken a sweat."I gotta admit," She says, "I never considered this. My people don't usually use this for traveling. We just run everywhere.""How can you run in a place like this?""It's because of the fire inside of all of us. It only gets stronger when we're in this place. I feel like I could rip stone in half with my bare hands right about now. I imagine you probably don't feel like that, though.""I do not."I feel better but I felt really nauseous back there."That's fine." Lan sniffs the air. "We're getting closer to that undine. We're perhaps a few hours off.""Good. I can only imagine what they must be going through right now.""Well, they don't smell dead at least. Undine rot pretty quickly when they die here.... Bit morbid, sorry." She drums her fingers along the side of the boat. "So, Tali, have you decided what it is you want to master in the school? We're over the halfway point for the school year. Though, it's okay if you still don't have anything."
>>2053552Ceer sex magic
>>2053552You want to be good at everything.
>>2053552Dragon Husbandry
>>2053545There's a reason vendal was way into that.>>2053552Wait, you can smell an undyne from HOURS away?And I think we're going for mastery of some combination of ice cream, comfy magic, and vague healing odds and ends.At least, given past exploits.
>>2053552Freaky Fish Medicine?
>>2053552Unification of the ra- wait you're actually horribly racist when we don't command you, right?How about elemental stabilization of ceer artifact wielders?Though sex does increase elemental energy production, right?
>>2053552It'll probably be fertility if we have our way.
>>2053552Diplomacy.Let’s face it Tali, you’re very, very good at making friends, especially with those most people would consider “dangerous and unstable.”Those original comfy runes might be an option too.
Ceerification studies
>>2053552"Everything. Gonna convince the gods to let me ascend, and then fix all the broken shit they never bothered to deal with."You need to say this smoothly, and dead serious.
>>2053552You're gonna be a master of dairy, Tali. The whole world will know of your delicious syrup covered ice cream!
Basically, we've still not decided.
>>2053552Everything. There's no limits to your potential (when you're with us)
>>2053575You know, I wonder why we never tried Ascending. I mean, you only need three things: Worshippers, Power and to cast off your physical form.We've never had a physical form, I'm vaguely sure we have some sort of reality alteration powers and we already worship ourself and there's like infinity of us in here. We could totally pull it off guys.
>>2053580I mean, the poor boy has had a lot on his mind.How many years is a student expected to stay at daughters of minia?
>>2053552Lan is wearing her native garb. Oooooh, my dick.And I maintain Tali should major in psychology, and the treatment of mental disorders. Let's face it, he's an AMAZING therapist.
>>2053597I think tali is also wearing that under the cloak.And he -probably- could put out a thesis on vaisi. Except it would involve the power of love, which is not the best thing to recommend psychologists use.
"Everything. Gonna convince the gods to let me ascend, and then fix all the broken stuff they never bothered to deal with."1/2
>>2053585I kinda pulled that once in an FR game, everyone in their religion worshiped the collective made up by everyone that worshiped that same collective. Of course, they kept all that a secret to outsiders, the gods panicked and some of them called up their champions (the party) to find out what was up with that elusive god that nobody could find.
>>2053604aw shit tali is going HARD
>>2053604The absolute madman.But seriously, become a therapist.
>>2053604Holy crap, TaliYou idiot, you weren't supposed to ACTUALLY say thatnow Lan will think you're a nutter
>>2053601not really. Sexual thought seem to stymie void and encourage elemental life, likely due to the act of making life being antithesis to the VOID AKA NOTHIN the ceer embody.
>>2053609Well, that does fit our brand new perspective of tali being slightly nuts.
>>2053609Yes he was.This is all according to keikaku.(*)(*Keikaku means plan)
>>2053610I'm having a hard time thinking of a medical way to tell someone you perscribe them 500 CCs of dicking.It hurt my head to try to vaguely guess dick mass mathematics, so they are probably wrong.
>>2053609It's fine, she'll just take it as a joke. She doesn't know we're totally serious.
>>2053616Don't treat it like injections, treat it like say pills or ear dropsOne dick, Vaginally twice a day
>>2053609i support tali in this
>>2053604"... Honestly, I don't know yet. I do still want to help people but I'm not sure on the best way to do that.""Hahaha, yeah. I figured as much. That's fine. It took Tessa a year to figure out what she really wanted to do. Being undecided is perfectly normal at this stage. I know it took me a while... I kinda just joined Petal cause... Well, it looked like a class I could slack off in. Work on my alcohol crafting. The Sorting Eye wanted to put me in Root.But it all worked out. Now I know what I wanna do in life. I'm sure you'll find your way too.""Thanks, Lan. I know I'll figure out what I wanna do eventually.">The conversation goes into a bit of a lull.I haven't had this much time alone with Lan in a while. What should we talk about?
>>2053628I -want- to ask about her possibly tragic past involving drinking.But, because that would be awkward, maybe ask her about the sights in her homeland, since she was kicking around here.
>>2053628Talk about Lan's Lans, Tali. Get her to open up her outfit more since it's so hot.
>>2053628TALK ABOUT CUTE BOYS
>>2053641My god, that's amazing.
>>2053628Ask her about alcohol crafting. It seems to be a subject she cares about, and could give you some ideas about spellcrafting.
>>2053628Tell her you're glad you get to spend some time with her, since we haven't in awhile. Ask her what's up with the whole spying thing, mention Natalie showed up and said a bunch of the male students would try and get secrets, but Azul seems pretty cool. I wonder if he's on this field trip.
>>2053628Ask about her past. For how close we are to her we don't know all that much.
>>2053628>>2053641Yeah, talk about yourself! Or ask if people know about you and Vaisi and Ceera
>>2053628Weren’t you working up the nerve to tell her about the whole secret elf boy thing?It’s ok if you’re not ready, but the longer you wait the bigger a reveal it will be.
>>2053628Why the boys seem so much more.... inept and lazy. Like we know they are around... in theory. But we never see them.Also if she had any ideas on what could foul a teleport up like this.
>>2053649There's a chance he's the one out there baking.>>2053655Wait, were we doing that? I legit forgot.
>>2053628Tell her it's good to have some time together. You've been busy fighting Ceer assassins, meeting gods, and mounting dragons lately and have had no time for your big sis.Ask her how spying goes.Consider telling her your secret... and then bitch out.
>>2053655Oh, yeah. Now that he doesn't want to fulfill his mission there really isn't all that much reason to keep her in the dark, huh?
>>2053628So... her sense of smell is apparently amazing enough to smell a single Undine from at least several miles away. Shouldn't that mean it's also strong enough to tell you're a male elf and don't smell at all like a female human?
What if the reason the Sons of Sorin never bothered us for spying updates because that weird rune scratched under our string-cap-thingy broadcast what we see directly back to them? What if we've been doing our job this entire time.
>>2053668Eh, I'd prefer he still keep it under his hat. It's already the worst kept secret in the school.
>>2053680ppl have touched our ghost titties. all senses illusion. People have also mentioned that we smell like elf tho soo...
>>2053688Then they’d be guilty of creating child pornography.
.>>2053688That's a Ceer designation symbol for our artifact series, remember? I think it was "collective intelligence" or something like that. Ceera told us that ages ago.>>2053695Pretty sure that honor goes to "Tali's boning Ceera and Vaisi".Also, fuck recaptcha.
>>2053716But what about the [REDACTED] thing the orange orb picked up.
>>2053628Talk about fish facts?
>>2053688Well, that rune's a personal rune given to us by the Ceer and the Headmaster's good enough at messing with void magic to jailbreak us, so... I guess that's probably a thing he can do....Tali, we might need to kill the Headmaster. He knows too much.
>>2053628Ask about the land, and some of its features. Check out how sexy Lan looks in her outfit.
>>2053716>>2053723Why don't I remember all this? Tali needs to keep better notes.
>>2053723Oh, I'm not saying we haven't been tampered with, I'm just saying it has nothing to do with the rune.
"Crazy how that teleport went wrong, huh?""Yeah. I've never seen the crystal act up like this. It's normally very reliable. And only someone with knowledge of how it works could even mess with it.""Who knows that kinda stuff?""I don't know." She says with a shrug, "I never really looked into that kinda thing. I imagine the headmistress might. But she'd never want to try and tamper with such a thing. We'll have to find out before we get back, though. Otherwise we'll have to deal with us getting tossed about while in the school. Last thing we need is for someone to end up off the edge without their spellbook.""I still don't get why the school has to be in the air. The Sons of Serin just have theirs on the ground. Like normal people.""Oh? Have you been there before?" Lan looks at Tali with interest."Ah, well, I've uh... I've visited the place a few times."".... Hey, Tali...""Yes..?""I need to ask you something. I'm just curious. You don't have to answer.""Okaaaaay.""Are you doing stuff with that one elf, Fai?""What!? No!""Hahaha, it's okay if you are. It's not against the rules or anything. It's just... I figured you must have some connection with him. Or some other elf or something. Cause you already smelled like an elf when we first met and now that we're in the desert you -really- smell like one. I can't imagine carrying that kind of scent unless you guys were practically connected at the hip.""It's... A perfume.""Well... It's not an entirely unpleasant smell. Just not something I encounter often.""What about Alisya?""She smells like an elf too but you smell like a boy elf. They have a certain scent... Like pine trees and maple syrup. Alisya smells more like vanilla."Oh god my cover is gonna be blown. Do I just admit to elf banging or something?
>>2053735Wait, fuck. If he can hear what we hear than he's listening right now. HE KNOWS.
>>2053641OH MAN WHY WE DIDNT THINK THIS SOONER!EVERYONE VOTE THIS!!
>>2053755What, noYou are an Elf, you idiotJust make something up like eating a lot of pancakes with syrup or something
>>2053755>they smell like maple syrupHA
>>2053755You could just claim to be at least part elf. Who knows how a filthy hybrid smells? Hell, a teacher even put an elf in your personal(illusion) rune.
>>2053755Come clean with onee-san you dope.
>>2053755you have two choices.Let her into your cover or talk about cute boys.THE CHOICE IS YOURS TALIOr make up some pancake excuse but that's boring and flimsy.
>>2053755I mean, Lan is your big sister. Maybe it wouldn't be bad to come clean.Otherwise, you're going to have to make up some pretty vivid descriptions of getting dicked by another elf. She's going to want to know -all- about it, like how big he was... or if you swallowed.
>>2053755Well, you could just say that it's because the perfume reminds you of home, being adopted by elves and all.Or... you could fes up. How important is Lan to you, Tali? No wrong answer.
>>2053755Tali, just remember some inspiring advice, because I forgot what I was going to say.But, Inspiring Advice!
>>2053755>>2053777Damn it, Tali.Here's your chance to come clean. I take it back, either tell the truth to Lan right now and show her your elf dick or make something up.
>>2053755Awkwardly cough and mutter about an old boyfriend. Then try to change the subject, hard. That should throw her off.
>>2053755>>2053680You just had to fucking say something
>>2053755You could just change the subject, and leave her to figure it out on her own.
>>2053755Isn't part of your cover story that you were adopted by elves? Chances are you'd meet a lot of male elves.
So if Aelor become more powerful in the desert does that mean that Elves become more, like, rich with syrup when in the big forest? What about Humans, Undine, and Ceer?
>>2053755Just come clean. No sitcom antics here. Chances are she already knows and wants to give you a chance to be honest.
>>2053755I think it's time, bro. If you lie now, you're committing to the lie. You can't come clean to her after that without fucking things up. Just let it happen.
>>2053829I dunno, we could do some sitcom antics.I like those.
>>2053628Maybe ask what it is SHE wants to do, you mapledick fucksprout.
I don't think I can keep lying... It's just killing me, especially to my friends like Lan. I really like her.I'm probably making a huge mistake but..."Lan, I have to tell you something. Now promise you won't freak out...""What is it, Tali?">Tali drops his glamour."I'm actually an elf. And a boy. And I'm from the Sons of Serin. And I was sent here to spy on the school. But I don't wanna do that anymore. I just wanna... Hang out with my friends. And learn things. And have fun.""......"
>>2053755Just say that Vaisi really likes the smell
>>2053871holy shit, taliholy shit
>>2053871welp, cat's out of the bag.now prepare yourself for getting hit with a boat made of glass repeatedly.
>>2053871nowshow her your dick.
>>2053871Tali, what the fuck? We said to tell her that you were an Elf with a Penis, not that you're a deep cover spy who's decided to go native.Jesus Christ.
>>2053871Bye Tali. I was nice knowing you.
>>2053871Good thing you gave her that booze.Also is that an undine staring at you from right in front of your boat?
>>2053871The headmistress, The Goddess Minia and several students know.
>>2053899he got a little excited.
Just... out of curiosity. Can we maybe, uhm make a parachute spell real quick.
>>2053871...welp. Now we have to kill her.
>>2053871Don’t forget that you also want to solve the world’s largest diplomatic issue and not get assassinated in the process.>>2053903Headmistress doesn’t I’m pretty sure. But Minia’s approval goes a long ways, doesn’t it?
Rolled 1 (1d20)>>2053871Remember all the times you bathed with the other girls you perv
>>2053871"Took ya long enough. I was wondering when you'd finally say that.""What.""I could tell from the day we met. At first I figured you just wanted to be some kinda pervert or something. Then I thought you were a spy. Then I realized you're basically harmless. Feel better now, though? That's you've said it?""You knew this whole time..?""It's kinda my job to know things. You're a new transfer with no background at all, you smell like a boy elf, your 'adopted sister' is an elf.""Oh... So... You just knew... And didn't say anything.""Yeah. It just wasn't a huge deal. Like I said, harmless. Even among the spies, I think Fai is the one who's actually gotten the most information... You're like a kitten with mittens on.""Oh...""But I still have to punish you for lying to me for this long. I wouldn't be a very good big sister if I didn't."2/3
>>2053871You could have taken a bit more time revealing everything.But maybe you can get away before she recovers from it all.
>>2053922'Punishment', huh? She's gonna punish yo dick, Tali.
>>2053922She's gonna rip your twig off.
>>2053922BE READY FOR THE BOAT
>>2053922>Lan punishmentI quiver in anticipation.
>>2053922Now is the time for you to make it awkward, make sure to ask her to punish you *thoroughly*.
Im okay with that.
>>2053922>Even among the spies, I think Fai is the one who's actually gotten the most informationActually, since we're spilling secrets we probably should sit down and tell her that we know a large number of them.

It takes a lot for something to bother me but I think Vendal would flip out and be really mad. But your secret is safe with me, Tali.""Thanks, Lan. I don't really wanna tell everyone but.. You've been really nice to me this whole time.""That's my job, I'm your big sis~""Can you take me down?""Nope~">A few buildings loom in the horizon."Ah... The ruins of Bos. Look, Tali, there lies one of our greatest nations.""Bos?""Mhmm... It was the greatest Aelor homeland. It had the greatest amount of Four Armed Aelor. Those who have the flame burning brightly within them. Perhaps they were just closer to the True Flame, the primordial fire that made us all. But they had some of the greatest Aelor warriors there.Then, some time ago, the god Asam crushed them all. We still don't know why but... He kinda had a habit of destroying the greatest cities a race has. No one has lived there since.We Aelor are actually quite adept at farming even these arid sands but nothing grows in Bos. Not even the simplest of weeds. And there's no water nearby, all undine artifacts fail. When Asam destroys a place he doesn't half-ass it.""It looks huge.""It was." She says, sounding a bit sad.If it's so old she wouldn't have even been there before. But she makes it seem like she used to live there or something.
>>2053982Vendal sleepwalking doesn't count, she was piled there by 99c.>>2053990Tali, ask her if she use to live there. Then suggest we go hunting for ruins. Ancient God-Destroyed City sounds like the perfect place to get a present for Fael.
>>2053990How far does the absolute parch field extend from the city?Is the undyne in it?Are we going to have to go out of our parched-ass journey to get DOUBLE parched in the dry dry city?
>>2053990Did you have family that lived there at some point? You sound sad...Also, if you are heading toward an undine, throw your glamour back up. Then go exploring the ancient, cursed capital. You can grab a souvenir.
>>2053990Tali, it's time to go dungeon huntingLet's explore that city
>>2053990>nothing grows in BosSo no Willow Trees then?
>>2053990That's good to know, but shouldn't we continue looking for that undine?.

"Are you okay? Did you uhm... Know anyone from here?""Hmm? Oh, no no. I'm from Lan, not Bos. It's just... My people have had to fight for everything we've got. We've made a nice little life for ourselves in these deserts. And this city was the best thing we'd ever built, with our own two hands, even.And then some god came and tore it all down. How are we even supposed to fight that? A lot of four arms died that day. So... I don't know. It's kinda like if one of your Voror got torn down.That's not racist, is it?">Tali nearly tears up at the thought."Well... This seems like a place we should avoid. What with it being blighted and all that....The undine's in there, aren't they?""Yep~!"1/2
Dont forgot that we really need to find Fael before she gets into trouble. We should probably inform Lan that this is a priority.
>>2054042man that undyne is SUPER fucked.
>>2054042Explore, Tali!
>>2054042What exactly was a Voror, again?
>>2054042>>2054047Yeah, before you go in ask Lan if she can smell Fael. Apparently most people are somehow terrible at dealing with dragons, so there's no telling how much trouble she's getting into.
>>2054065Elf Trees
>>2054042Gods are assholes. Let's kill them.
>>2054042Aaand of we go Ruin diving,Adventuring with Lan is Fun adventuring.Also is there a way for a dragon rider to remote communicate with the dragon some simple messenger spell or even just a search spell using our dragon rune would go a long way. Would something like this work?
>>2054070I don't know what you're planning but count me in.
>>2054080Actually, that's a good idea. Aren't we bounded to Fael through our Rider Rune? Can we like quick set up a telepathy spell or something using it?
>>2054042>They arrive at Bos. The city looks like it was probably a bustling center of trade. Wide streets lined with the tattered remains of stalls and dilapidated houses. Wide roads, paved with sandstone, web through the eroded buildings.>The heat is nearly unbearable, even with magic taking in as much as it can. Whatever curse this land is suffering from is stronger than the magics Tali can muster. Even Lan is sweating."Nice, isn't it? The place, I mean. Not the deathly heat.">She sniffs the air again."The undine was here." She says, "But I think they might have moved underground to get to some shelter. There's the well... The coliseum... Some of the bigger buildings have storage cellars underground. Do you think we should split up? Time is of the essence here."
>>2054096stick together the teleport was probably bungled to explicitly separate us. Check the well first. cause undine like water and water comes from wells.
>>2054096Try a detect undine spell, Tali.
>>2054096Nah, stick together, it's better.
>>2054096can we do non-heat-related spells?
>>2054096Follow the scent of fish sticks.
>>2054096>>2054101If detection magic doesn't work, then try Natural Comfy. That Undine must be at least as uncomfortable as you, Tali. Maybe you can sense that.
>>2054096Don't split the party!
>>2054096Splitting is reasonable, she said "time is of the essence here" so you know it's serious.
>>2054096Stick together, so that you don't die.

>>2054042Goddammit. Okay, give Lan the orb. You're still punished, but you can cast magic to keep the sun off yourself. Have Lan go into the city and fuck up the undi- I mean whoever's there holding our Undine friends hostage.
>>2054140Ooh... yes. Do give Lan the Orb.
>>2054096Wait, Tali. You are absorbing heat and converting it into mana. What if, and stay with me here, you kept taking in heat generated by the god's curse and turned it into comfy.The time has come. Use the Comfy Dama!
>>2054140>>2054145i don't think i understand the reasoning for this but i'm always up for some viewpoint change
>>2054152...this isn't a bad idea...Convert Heat to Water?
>>2054096Don't give us to Lan, she's too smart for us.
>>2054163Won't work. Lan just TOLD us this.
>>2054168God schmod, we're Chaos. We outrank gods.Convert Curse to Ice Cream. Fuck the hornhead gods.
>>2054140>>2054096I am okay with this as well. >>2054152Tali, you are on comfy gathering duty. Lan, leave Tali the alcohol to stay refreshed, but don't tell him, because as we all know, Tali does amazing things when beligerently drunk.

>>2054096Cast Detect Undine!
>>2054096Use the mana you're getting from convert heat to mana to cast a stronger convert heat to mana.Keep increasing the power of the spell in this way until the heat is down to a tolerable level, or you attract the notice of a god.If you attract the notice of a god, tell them you're not even supposed to be here today, and if they'd knock it the fuck off you'll be out of here as soon as possible and they can get back to torturing a big dumb pile of rocks.
>>2054256Wouldn't the world freeze over with how prone Tali is to fucking up?
>>2054256You do remember what happened the first time Tali cast a conversion spell, right? Increasing the output exponentially seems like a phenomenally bad idea.
Short pause! Be right back!
>>2054297You can find the regular version of this on Larro's tumblr. Or in his imgur albums.
>>2054272That was when he was casting from his own mana, but this is mana he's getting from a spell.He won't die.
>>2054096I think not. Whoever separated you from the group could be waiting to attack you when you're alone, and if you get to the undine then they'll be better off if you're both there to apply medical treatment.If you decide otherwise, work out some sort of signal for when you find her, like a distinctive bird call that you can mimic with your illusion magic. Or set up a communication system, if you can.And be sure to use your life detection spells.
>>2054297>Short pauseSee you tomorrow!

It goes deep and it won't be an easy climb."I'll go. You stay up here.""Okay."Should I hand you guys over to her or just hold onto the orb?

>>2054706HI WE'RE THE MAGIC ITEM THAT CONTROLS TALI'S EVERY ACTION except when we're not paying attention which is often YOU SHOULD TENTACLE SEX HIM
".............""Hey, Tali, I got her! Can you get that rope ready? Or am I going to have to jump out of here? Hey, Tessa, are you thirsty? We have some water.""Water would be nice..."1/2
>>2054763PLEASES OLD WHALES FOR MONEY
>>2054763Wait, I thought water just sort magically peaced the fuck out around here.Are our cantines actually full of dust now?
>>2054714>>2054715>>2054722>>2054730Okay....Talking artifact orb...Not the weirdest thing I've seen... And better than brain damage.Gosh, I'm just... I didn't expect this and I wasn't sure anyone was going to come for me. I thought I was going to die down here. Thankfully it's not that hot but it's starting to get really cold.And I ran out of water over an hour ago...>>2054711Hello there. I don't know what that is. I didn't really want to explore. I'm not a good fighter.>>2054713Oh geeze... Well, I'm sure she didn't mean it.>>2054729Hello to you as well. You have a much gruffer voice.That is uhm... A lot of questions. And some are rather private things to ask...Leviathans are interesting, though. They're basically giant undine, so big that they can't even leave the sea without collapsing from their own weight.>>2054735Oh, why thank you! You are... Spherical.>>2054787If it did I would have died a while ago. None of my water artifacts are working, though, so I went through my stock pretty quickly.I'm not sure if you know but us undine have to keep ourselves hydrated.>>2054736My skin is still a bit damp but I think that's just because I've been underground. If I were above ground I'm almost certain I would be...I almost died.I could have died if I was anywhere other than here.>Tessa breathes in deep. She has to calm herself."Hey, what's that?">Lan looks behind Tessa. There is a long tunnel that is dark but seems to have been cut in by hand."I don't know. I didn't really want to go exploring in case I got more lost.""... I wanna explore it. I didn't know there was a tunnel in the well here.""It could be really dangerous in there.""There's not a living soul in the entire land besides us three. How bad could it be?"Oh dear... It's so hard to argue with Lan when she puts her mind on something. I'd really rather not go down that spooky tunnel.Hey, you guys give advice, right? How can I convince her to not go down the scary dark tunnel?
>>2054798You don't, stop being an octopussy, Tessa.
>>2054798Um, well, the alternative is to bring you back to the super hot surface and try to boat out of the cursed area before you dry out and die.So do you want to go through the oven, or the darkness? Lan is pretty strong, and Tali has some inherent magical ability she could use in an emergency. I want to explore the darkness, personally. The surface is just boring featureless desert for miles.
>>2054798Celebratory rescue orgy. Ask tali to show you the special spell she practices with her girlfriends.
>>2054798Tell lann that you are really worried you are going to become a literal pile of dust.
>>2054798Touch Lans butt. Just like, grab a tentacle-ful of that luscious booty. That'll stop her in her tracks
>>2054806Also that you are all out of your water and that your artifacts aren't working and you don't know why.She'll have to explain to you the shit she explained to tali, which will give her time to rethink her actions. note: this may result in the same actions.
>>2054798Well, how many people have you had down your dark tunnel? I'm sure it'll be fine.
>>2054798Pass us onto her, we'll do the convincing.
>>2054798Well, you certainly shouldn't leave Tali on the surface by herself.
>>2054798You'll die if you go up.You might find an aquifer if you go down.And Lan has the power of the desert coursing through her veins right now. She'll keep you safe.And hey, maybe you'll be able to grow closer to that cutie honey Tali? She's kind of a wimp so she might want you to hold her hand for reassurance...
Welp, over here it's past 3am on a work day so this specific voice is going to go pass out. Here's hoping nothing's too fucked up by the time I come back!
>>2054798We're alone, low on resources, in the middle of a desert, and one of us is injured. This is not the time for exploring, this is a time to regroup and recover. It's interesting, but we can come back some other day when we're better prepared. Right now we need to prioritize finding out what happened to the other students.Speaking of which, we're as in the dark as you right now. We were supposed to all arrive in a group, but Tali and Lan showed up together in the middle of the desert with no one else around. We're trying to reach civilization and piece together what happened, but we decided to come to you first because Lan smelled a lone undine and we thought you might be in trouble.
Final pause, we'll conclude the thread tomorrow! Hope you guys are having fun, I know I am.Feels good to be back in the questing groove. Til tomorrow!
>>2054839Nice to have you back, larro.Also goddamnit tessa you're fucking adorable, and it's making it hard to want to explore instead of being boring and retreating until we are far enough away to mass produce water.
>>2054798Okay so Lan is a big strong fire lady so trying to tell her that something scary could be in there won't stop her. Instead, insist that you shouldn't leave Tali behind. To be honest with you, without us, Tali's competency falls a bit. Remember that one round during the Lady Minia Competition where all she did was make ice cream? Yeah, that was the round she went without us.
>>2054798>They're basically giant undineWait, does that mean Cutethulhu is a Leviathan? Tessa, do you know Cutethulhu?
>>2055154Well if she doesnt we should intro dice them. Tessa Seems very much like a cutethulhu person.
>>2055201That... doesn't sound particularly healthy. Tali implied that he wouldn't have survived Cutethulhu's touch without his earlier proficiency in comfy magic.
>>2056187We can prepare her a bit. But somehow i think Tessa and cutethulhu would make a cute (thulhu) couple. Or bestest tentacle pals at least.
>>2054798Tessa, you're a healer. Heal her unhealthy curiosity.Have you ever tried sexual healing?
>>2054798See, common misconception. We give 'advice', but no one said anything about 'good' advice. In this case, I'd like to point out that the well may be the best place for you to recover your strength. The top of the city is a hellscape and the desert further beyond isn't a picnic, either.Have Lan grab the noodly bimbo up top who, I might add, has natural comfy magic that the fuckery field can't mess with. After that, drink some water, calm down, and then think about why Lan wants to explore deeper inside the well.Remember, Lan is an Aelor, and this city is a place of historic loss and tragedy for her people. She may be looking for answers here, and you may not want to deny her at least the attempt.
>>2054798By the way, how are things going with Azul?
>>2054798>And some are rather private things to ask...They aren't, not really. The questions weren't about you specifically, we're just curious about undine biology.Now this >>2056613 is a personal question you might consider private.
Thread delayed one more day, sorry guys!
>>2057157Welp. At least on Friday I don't need to go to sleep until it's over.
>>2057157Pfft, try your best, Larro.
take your time..
>>2054798>How can I convince her to not go down the scary dark tunnel?Tell her we can't go exploring until we've found Tali's dragon wife, so unless she smells a poison dragon in there then we'll just have to come back later.
>>2056398I'm with this guy, by the way. If there's something left in here, it's Lan's cultural heritage. Don't take that away from her.
>>2059130Can't we just summon her? Then she could tell us where everyone else is.
>>2059331It'd have to be outside of the city, tho, what with non-natural magic not working.I'm really more concerned about Ceera, her body isn't made for hardships and someone may be targeting her.
Sorry for the delay, starting up soon!
>>2059738woah Nellly
>>2059738Glad to have you back! Is that Cutethulhu to the far right?
>>2059746That is indeed her. She's a big girl
>>2059753How many boob hugs would Cutethulhu give Tali?
Well... I'm not sure how bad it is outside but if it's worse than down here... We can stay for a moment longer. At least until I rehydrate.>Tessa takes another drink of water. She wasn't aware how thirsty she was. The undine body is not built to be in areas of low humidity. Doubly so for areas with 0 humidity."We should probably get Tali. I don't want to leave her up there.">Lan nods, walks over to the opening of the well, and leaps into the air.>She jumps back down, Tali in her arms."Got her." She says. Tali looks shaken. "Now, let's do some exploring~!">>2056398I do understand why she wants to explore... If I got a chance I would explore Dres.I'm amazed we're in Bos, though. I thought the place was completely wiped out. The buildings are damaged but... Well, Dres was sunk so there's nothing to see unless you go under the water.I figured this place would be buried under sand.>Lan casts a spell to conjure an orb of light. It fizzles out and fails completely."Ah, right, no magic..." She peers into the darkness. "I can kinda see something at the end. Stay right behind me.">She heads deeper into the tunnel. It's nearly four minutes of walking before the tunnel suddenly opens into a yawning cavern.>A totem of sorts is in the center, glowing with a purple light."That's just like the teleportation crystals." Tali says.Oh, she's right. They do glow just like that."I'm gonna touch it." Lan says"W-what!? No! You can't!""Oh? You wanna touch it?""No! No one should touch that! We don't know what it does.">Lan is staring at it. Tessa senses she's going to touch it regardless.
>>2059812Firmly grasp her as she touches it.
>>2059812Tessa, touch it too! You need to go where Lan goes!
>>2059812Give us to Lan. That'll distract her.
>>2059812Tell Tali to touch it too. Maybe we'll meet Lady Sluttony
>>2059812Touch it before she does it.
>>2059812>>2059823Alternatively, make sure both you and Tali are in contact with her. You're already lost, no reason to get separated too.
>>2059812Throw the orb at Lan.
>>2059812Looks like there's a plaque or something on it we should check out first
>>2059843Ooh, well spotted.
>>2059812Warn Lan that it might be hypnotizing her into touching it so it can do something dangerous. A big sister shouldn't put people in danger. We can hold off until we know more about this thing.Ask Tali if she knows what it is. She has experience with weird magical things like this, so she might have some advice.Actually, let's see if we can do something.Other Orbs: Scan weird magical totem. Assess threat level.
>>2059812Check the plaque first. This stone might be what's causing no water and no magic. If so messing with it might make things go boom.
>>2059849>Warn Lan that it might be hypnotizing her into touching it so it can do something dangerous.It's just her being curious and impulsive, like a good aelor should be.
>>2059812Have Tali touch it. Nothing bad ever happens to Tali.
"Lan, we can't touch it. But we should also probably read what that thing in front of it says.""Ah, right. Okay.">As they approach the massive totem, they note that the sand around it feels... Cold. It's grains are much finer than the surrounding sand.>Approaching the plaque, Tessa can make out carvings on it."... That's not common." She says."They look like they were carved in by hand." Tali says. All the more impressive considering the plaque is enormous compared to them."It's in an old Aelor script. I can't read it myself.""The first letter is 'I'." Tessa says."It is?""Mhmm. It looks similar to the one Undine used to have. They probably shared a similar writing system some time ago."The rest I can't even begin to read. But I wonder if it shares more similarities with old undine script.
>>2059894Tessa, tell Tali to use the fat nerd to translate it. Punch him when you tell him.
>>2059894Hmm, looks like a simple cryptogram. Anyone know this particular cipher?
>>2059894>I Piml>I we cm YcxThat was easy, next puzzle please
>>2059905yea, make that lazy fuck actually do something
>>2059894Also take a look around and see if there's anything more of note. What's that thing floating on the statue?
>>2059894Use your knowedge, Tessa! Read it!
>>2059894>>2059905Tessa, give us some example(s) of old undine script, we might be able to decipher it.
>>2059894If it's related to undine maybe something will happen if you get it wet
>>2059929or perhaps read it through a refractive surface, like being underwater.
>>2059943Tessa, pee on it
>>2059957Damnit steve
>>2059919I... Don't feel that that is correct.>>2059905"Uhm... Tali? Can you uhm... Tell the fat nerd to translate it..?""Oh, sure." Tali replies, as if that is a perfectly normal thing to ask him. ".... He says he doesn't read inferior script.""I see....">>2059926Certainly~As you can see, old Undine script used to be pretty complicated! What we call vowels used to be an accent to letters which, in theory, resulted in shorter writing! However, Undine script was pretty flowery.Also, double letters would get represented with a strike through a letter.Certain sounds like gh or th had the characters combined.I hope this lesson was insightful!
>>2059966Right so. Fuck this cipher. Break the thing, it looks ominous.
>>2059894>>2059966Thanks cutie, you the best.>I Promise>I will come [something]Foreboding
>>2059966"I go where the sun doesnt shine." Welp you heard the two pronged giant artifact. Spread em Tessa, Tali cast "enlarge target".
>>2059894I promiseI will come back
>>2059966"I promiseI will come back"I think that's it.
“I promiseI will come —c-“Is what I have so far.
>>2059966Okay, let's see if I can make some progress in deciphering this. It looks like...I P+omiteI will come y+c+I'm guessing that little wedge on its own is an "e" from context. Those things that look like plus signs might be different because they're at different angles, and the last one is apparently a consonant while the other two are vowels.Does that help.
>>2059990>>2059997Well, damn.>>2059982Definitely not ominous.
Theory: some sort of prison. the writer didn't know how to break the prison, so they wrote the note.
>>2059966Maybe try invoking the name of the god who ruined this place?
>>2059966>".... He says he doesn't read inferior script."He'll read my foot up his ass.
>>2060018Wait, shit. If it's ASAM that will come back, we're in trouble.
>>2059966>He says he doesn't read inferior script."alright put us next to the nerd, hes needs a beating
>>2059997>>2059988>>2059982"I promise, I will come back... A bit sad. That was an interesting little puzzle, wasn't it, Lan?"1/2

She looks pretty heavy to her.I'll just go and get her real quick...Oh geeze, why is she so stubborn..!>Tessa climbs up after Lan, using her tentacles rather than her arms. Beyond balancing her upper body, the climb is easy for the undine as her tentacles are able to latch on with impressive strength.>She reaches the Aelor in only a few moments."Lan!""Oh, Tessa, you're pretty good at climbing.""We have to get down from here! You don't know what's up there or what this is for!""Yeah. That's why I'm going to go find out."Ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh1/3

>>2060304Give us to Tali.
>>2060304Because it's REALLY FUN to fight scary things.In any case, try to calm down. Look how well tali is handling things. We should try to back off while she is having a super fire battle, and be ready to dash in to grab her and run when it turns south.Assuming tali doesn't bust out some shit to fix this.
>>2060304>And it wasn't talking in common but... I could understand it.That's one of our powers. That's why you need to give us to Tali NOW, because he can handle dragons. Or did you forget the Lady Minia Competition?
>>2060304Tessa, Tessa. Give us to Tali, he can fix this. Also, dragons do feel love.
>>2060304She is in her literal element, so it feels like a natural high for them in this state. They can do crazy things but they also forget some of the smaller things. Like yanno, missing limbs. Shes gonna need to be pulled out of it if she wants to survive.
>>2060304Look at Tali's serene expression. You have nothing to fear. Let the dragon layer guide you.
>>2060272>>2060266"Tali! Use the whistle! USE THE WHISTLE!">Tali reaches into her cloak and produces a whistle. Once she blows into it it makes a very gentle noises.>The dragon roars and retreats."Lan! We have to go!" Tessa shouts at the Aelor but she's ignoring her again. "You have to protect Tali! You're her big sister, remember!?">This makes Lan looks back. The battle lust fades from her expression and she nods. She runs at the pair and picks them up, one in each arm, and sprints back through the tunnel.>Tali keeps blowing into the whistle. They keep hear the dragon making whining noises.>But this doesn't last long.>Soon, there's a thud as it hits the floor of the cavern and the sound of claws digging into the sand. It charges at the group but they're already well through the tunnel. It roars again before unleashing a torrent of flame.>The group escapes just in time to see a jet of flame shoot past them, superheating the air.>Tessa falls against the wall, hardly able to stand.Oh gosh...That was terrifying...And... I'm out of mana? But I didn't even cast any spells...>She can still hear the dragon scraping against the tunnel.If that thing finds a way to reach us...
>>2060325undyne magic apparently doesn't work here. Bad breaks.Anyway, dragons are basically immortal, so if it doesn't get bored in the next 10 minutes, it probably won't. If that's the case, we're going to have to consider a very fast retreat.
>>2060325give us back to Tali quick!
>>2060325Seems like the crystal is water energy siphon and is eating your mana cause you're an undine. Have Lan get you out of the city so Tali can summon some... help.
>>2060325Please tell me Tali became a mahou shoujo dragoon or something.I have completely forgotten what the whistle does.
>>2060325>And... I'm out of mana? But I didn't even cast any spells...That can't be good.
>>2060325Tessa. Listen to us.Tali. Is. A. Dragon. Rider. She knows how to talk to dragons. She just needs a bit of guidance to up her competence a little, so stop freaking out for a moment and just GIVE US BACK TO HER ALREADY!
>>2060325I bet it's not even a real dragon but a manifestation of the crystal that absorbed your mana to manifest
>>2060342>"Dragons hate the noise that thing makes." She says, "So it might keep them away. But, if you use it too much they'll just burn you to a crisp instead. Or spit poison at you. Same thing, really."
>>2060344The dragon might have burned it.
>>2060346[Do not reveal secrets]>>2060325Tessa, give us back to Tali! We can work out a way to get out of this, but you have to trust us.

>>2060364Surely we can just talk to the dragon. Most of the other ones have been amicable enough.
>>2060383That's kinda a thing that we do, tho. I think. It's been sorta inconsistent.
>>2060383Wait, what if it was speaking Ceer? It had the <Brackets> like translated Ceer does when we talk to Ceera.
>>2060364>Escape routeForget the escape route, we should go back and diplomance it.>>2060371Or comfy, I guess. But you can't just use generic comfy, that would take too long.Think about why it's here. It's guarding that crystal, which has a sign from someone promising to come back. A friend of the dragon's, maybe? Maybe even a rider. Someone really important to it, anyway, judging by how long it must have been waiting here. Use that. In addition to the generic sleepiness, you should also try to summon the feeling of being with that friend. It should make the spell stronger.Either way, though, stop using the whistle. You probably should have only done it once, if at all.
>>2060364ANTI-MAGIC DRAGON
>>2060364Here's an idea. Use your illusion magic to make it see another dragon. Summoning an actual dragon is risky, but an illusion should lure it away from you and give you a chance to escape.
>>2060410Nice one. But don't use it as a lure, use it as a diplomacy too.
Oh boy.Why do I let you guys talk me into these kinds of things.>Tali can hear the thing tears at the tunnel, still. The sound of rock being torn in half is something he'll never get used to."That dragon won't stop. They're very stubborn... I'm gonna try and stop it.""Tali, no!" Tessa and Lan both say."It's okay. I'm really good at talking to dragons. Also..." He goes invisible. "I have this artifact. The dragon won't be able to see me at all.""Then make us invisible too." Lan says."It would be easier if it was just me. We'd triple the chances of getting caught if all three of us went.""... Alright. But keep that whistle on you and come right back.">Tali nods and walks into the tunnel. He gets about halfway before he realizes that another breath of fire from that thing would cook him in the tunnel.I couldn't understand what it was saying when it was talking to Tessa but it sounded like Ceeraaaaaaaaaaaaaholy shit.>The dragon is staring at him from the tunnel...>His heart stops.>Then, it looks away from him. It wasn't staring at him, but through him. It seems that it can't see past his glamour.>Tali feels his mana draining rapidly for some reason. It gets to the point where he has to use the gem to keep himself supplied.
>>2060364What kind of dragon was that? Plasma?Can you flood the tunnel with Comfy magic? If it was a glamor, that would pacify the caster.If that doesn't work, then shout down the tunnel "Who promised they'd come back? Do you need me to find somebody for you?"
>>2060422Uhh.. Apologize for using the whistle and ask if you could talk without it trying to murder and/or drain you and us?
>>2060422Ask who is it waiting for.
>>2060422uhhh tali, congratulations, you just found the first ceerified dragon. Prepare your bootyhole.
>>2060422Holy shit, TaliCalm downCan't you call for Fael? We really need her.
>>2060422poke it in the eye
Rolled 12 (1d20)>>2060422kiss and do lewd things to the dragon.Look if this dragon is a void, its like a ceer. And ceera crumpled pretty damn fast to lewdness.
>>2060422>Ceer/void dragonSo much for those being impossible. I'm surprised the glamour's working on it. It's probably exceptionally vulnerable to comfy, though, if you decide to try that. Seduction should work, too, as long as it's not somehow already in a committed relationship.
>>2060422If it's a ceer, it may be vulnerable to comfy.
>>2060454good point, try to subtly comfy the dragon here tali. remember SUBTLE. unlike your sexcapades you scamp!
>>2060422Get out of its line of sight! It can drain mana with its vision!Or, try saying something in Ceer language! Like, "Why are you in this place?"
>>2060422Use a ventriloquism spell next to its head."So, a ceer dragon? I thought dragons died when they turned, but your eyes give that away.Who promised they would return?"
>>2060463I'm assuming your natural glamour can do that, Tali, otherwise can't do spells here. But if you do say this, say it in Ceer.
>>2060426>>2060463If we ask about who promised they'd return, we should mention that they must be pretty great for a dragon to wait so long for them.
>>2060468...are we all thinking "Ceer dragonrider" here?
