This is a multiplayer game where each player controls one character. It's very easy to join, even if you haven't participated in the previous threads.

Kek, the ancient Egyptian god of chaos, has made of a pact with the meme magicians of 4chan: when members of 4chan die, they are teleported to an Isekai. In that fantasy world, Kek has formed an Adventurer's Guild for you to have a job in your new life. Your goal is to rise through the ranks -- working for Kek certainly will earn you great rewards!

You are going to play as yourself, the person behind the screen. The question is: how long would you survive in an RPG setting?

For Stats, an “average” rank means the rank of an average person
For skills and other abilities, an “average” rank means an average person skilled with this ability; an average professional. Those with less than average ranks are skilled amateurs. Yes, this means, above average skills are uncommon.

CREATION RULES
1) Create your character, following the rules above.
2) Reminder: you are playing as yourself, the person behind the screen. The more honest you are statting yourself, the more fun this is going to be.
3) Reminder: for skills, an average rank means the rank of an average professional, not the average person. If you rank yourself as Average, then it means that you're as good as the average professional.

GENERAL RULES
1) Namefag yourself.
2) Roll 20d100 with each post. The rolls will be used for the GM emulator.
3) You have to keep track of your own inventory and money.
4) No whining about the QM decisions and rolls.

MULTIPLAYER RULES
1) You can chat with the other players as much as you want.
2) Don't make more than one action post before the QM responds.

ISEKAI RULES
1) E-Rank Chaos: When there's an appropriate skill, the player's first three rolls are reserved to Skill checks and will determine the result of the player's main actions. With 3 free passes per thread for the QM for the purpose of plot and chaos.
2) Rule of Blood: If too many players join, I will add a penalty to all dangerous rolls until a few players die.

Anchor post: I'll quote this post with the updates

INTRODUCTION
You wake up in a dim lit, spacious Egyptian temple with ornamented pillars. On a cyclopean throne sits a frog monstrosity, its fat flesh hanging on the floor. It speaks to you with a cavernous voice:

"You've died." It laughs. "I'm Kek, god of chaos. No introductions needed, I hope. As you were a member of the 4chan community, you get to resurrect in a new, magical world. That's the pact I've made with your remote viewers and meme magicians."

He pauses, expecting you to die of a second heart attack. But the smell of incense burning in the room has made you a bit high and rather apathetic.

"Not bad, you've survived my frightful presence. YOU ARE QUIET, I CAN'T HEAR YOU. I'm bored. Let's get over with it and choose your new profession."

Information floods into your minds as a series of options appears before you. The first seems to be a series of classic archetypes and the second, a numbered list of short titles for something you can't help but wonder.

CLASSES:
>Warrior - A mundane master of martial combat, you are considered to have Average skill in every weapon and armor you choose to wield.
> Thief - An accomplished savant of subterfuge and guile, you receive a boost to your Agility and Dexterity (+ point-based skills).
> Sorcerer - A magic user tapping into your own mind, you may attempt to visualise spells and cast them in accordance to your imagination. Sorcery is fickle and often backfires or works in unexpected ways.
> Priest - A champion of a deity of your choice, you may invoke them to lend you miraculous aid from above or below. Your deity doesn’t always answer and members of rival religions shall hate or shun you.
> Kek's Choice - If you want to live dangerously, you can let Kek decide your class for you. This might unlock rare, prestige classes.

More knowledge enters your psyche, and the potential options are revealed to you. You may choose a class, guaranteed to grant great power and eventually supernatural competency in its specialty and roll a single d50 on the Isekai cheat chart for a boon ranging from mediocre to gamebreaking. You can also decide not to take a class and roll dual d50s on the Isekai cheat chart. Alternatively, if you are a true badass, you can refuse to take any class or cheat power, and make you accomplishments that much more impressive.

Q: Rolling for Wade's class
Rolls: 65, 43
A: Attach of Competition
He's attaching himself to competition, making it his life: a gladiator

Q: Rolling for Mark's class
Rolls: 8, 84
A: Oppose of Status quo
He opposed the status quo of the reversed society: a clown
See: The Metaphysics of Clown World https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MzEwaUCw9Bo


>>4325273
"Excellent choice!" Kek says. "Technically, everything is my choice. But let's ignore this fact for an instant. Your face is vaguely familiar..."

He thinks for a moment.

"But that can be. Only people who have died on Earth come here, and you can only die once, right?"

Kek spins a gigantic wheel, and it stops on the picture of a small gladius. You feel that your reflexes and instincts are modified, even your very nature.

Gladiator (class): You are considered to have Average skill in traditional gladiator weapons (gladius, harpoon, etc.). If a crowd is watching you and cheering on you, your rank increases to High.

Creepy (cheat): You are creepy. You are powered by corrupted, deviant energies. You revel in rape, cannibalism, and anything viewed as creepy by normies. The more you creep out, gross out and offend others, the more powerful buffs you gain. If your party doesn't hate you, then you are doing something wrong. Unlock great bonuses if you make another player quit.

"I'm glad you came. I have summoned my favorite adventurers to form a new elite squad. This person here" (he points to Wade) " is a newfag, so make sure to take care of him."

Kek spins the wheel again, and it stops on a small picture of Clown Pepe. The Dark God throws you a small, multicolored pill.

"This is the clown pill."

You swallow it. For no reason at all, you begin laughing. The situation is absurd. You gain a new perception, that the world is fake and ridiculous, not to be taken seriously. This perception makes you feel that you are thus able to manipulate reality by amplifying its ridiculousness and making a mockery of it. Your level of lucidity is far beyond the mere mortal.

Clown (class): You have mastered Clown World and found a weakness in the fabric of reality. You can use illusion magic and you are considered to have Average Acrobatic skills. You are immune to fear.

Honkler (cheat): You gain various situational bonuses for posting funny, ridiculous, outrageous or otherwise clown-related art (memes, poems, jokes...) If you use the 4chan's painter, you can use magic as depicted in your drawing, but only if the QM can guess what your drawing represents (you are not allowed to tell), and if it is clown related. You also have a special talent for driving your opponents crazy when you mock them.
You are still in possession of your past bonuses and inventory.

Tathagata Store (stat): Minuscule
Blessing of Chaos (strength): You receive a +1 RS bonus when you attempt a chaotic action.

>Inventory
1 gold
Winter Clothes (Worn)
Leather Quiver: (24 Steel Arrows)
Exceptional Longbow
Trick Fears, Artifact Masterwork Bastard Sword
Exceptional Steel Longsword

Kek raises his hand and a flow of dark energy enters your body. "You are now a sorcerer. When you want to cast a spell, all you have to do is picture an image of the spell in your mind. This technique is called: visualization."

With the sorcerer class, yes, you can cast any spell that you can think of, except healing and divination which are restricted to the priest class.

Cosmic Vending Machine (cheat): You and only you can access a cosmic vending machine that can take any object or currency and exchange it for a random item exactly identical in value. The item is summoned from across the multiverse and impossible to predict.

"Something tells me that I... I remember this place, but that can't be right, can it?! No, a man can only die once, I could've only died once. Unless..."
>reaches for kidney, feels the absence of a bruise before half-real, half-false memories fade away
"I... Enough. What's passed is past, whatever that was, and now I need to look toward the present."
>stare at the wheel, watch it stop spinning, and come to terms with sudden rush of knowledge in the use of nets, tridents, gladius, and more, all adhering to the common theme of what could be found in the pitched heat of a colosseum
>along with it burns a sudden need for attention, not to satisfy my own ego but to entertain the masses, and hear them shout for blood as I bury my blade to the hilt in man and monstrosity alike
>there can be no doubt
"I am a Gladiator, as reckless as I am relentless on the battlefield, as much a proud entertainer as a precise warrior. A middle ground between the Fighter and Bardic archetypes that suits me well."
>the Gladiator's spark is not alone, for in its wake burns a cold flame that seeps into my soul and would leave it shuddering in revulsion, were it not for the Frog God's memetic magick or my miswired brain's seeming inability to register esoteric sensations, likely both
>the absence of a feeling that should be there is unsettling and it sinks in that the invocation and feeding on that feeling is my boon
"I'm Creepy and gain strength from the disgust and terror of others. There is a fell and terrible synergy with the Gladiator's class, and I intend to take full advantage within the bounds of my personal code. Bodily trophies are always in fashion. AHAHAHAHAHA! KEK! You big, beautiful bastard! If you want me to put on a show I'll damned well put on a show, just point me to the stage and I'll play the game to your chaotic heart's content!"

Isekai Cheats
Harem Protag: You now have a sex appeal that defies logic, giving an *absolute* bonus to seduction attempts and compelling members of the opposite sex to get jiggy with it, to the extent that you must roll to determine whether they are willing to engage in coitus, not whether they are interested. They are always open to polygamy but members of the same sex will resent you. Some violently.

Edgelord: You can teleport behind your foes, summon dual desert eagles/uzis at your discretion, and drain life force to regenerate or fuel your attacks when you cut someone. You can also cut yourself and reabsorb it at an equal ratio. Forbidden sorcery comes twice as easily and malign entities see you as their equivalent and take you seriously, for good or ill. This comes at the cost of a gravelly voice, deep dislike of daylight, and the permanent fixation to wear a trenchcoat and dark-tinted sunglasses, which you can summon at will. If your dialogue is sufficiently edgy, you may receive a bonus to any given roll. (Part 1)

Kek points to a portal of dark energy on the side of the room, guarded by two spear-holding frogmen. The prismatic colors of the portal are hypnotic. The ambient light provides a pristine, dreamlike atmosphere to the room.

"This portal will lead you to a random location of the map. Even I don't know where the portal will take you. Your job is to find your way to the Adventurer's Guild and take all of the most difficult quests. You will be rewarded with magical items."

The image of the Joker forms faintly in the center of the room.

Q: How does Wade gain strength?
Roll: 8, 10
A: Oppose of Good
Protection from Good/Chaos

The Frog God makes a disgusted face.

"Bodily trophies? You are pushing it, that's really creepy."

As Kek is creeped out, you feel a rush of energy inside your body. You actually gained strength from his own disgust. Of course, the chaos god shouldn't feel disgust just from that, but his own chaotic energy amplifies everything.

Struggle against new ideas: an inquisitor

"The portal uses demiurgic technology," Kek explains. "It can take a person between two points of space, or to a safe or unsafe matrix. The difference between a safe and unsafe matrix is that you risk losing your memories when inside of an unsafe matrix, and get trapped inside. Your homeworld, Earth, is an unsafe matrix, that is why you were reincarnated with no memories."

Mark tries out his new clown abilities and does a cartwheel toward the portal. His agility and balance are flawless, and is cartwheel is that of a professional. He rolls toward the portal and finds himself in a dark environment. He cannot see where he has arrived, but he can feel a cold, stone wall in front of him.

>>4326326
The multidimensional hero Shi appears in Kek's temple, with the priestess-thief Miyashita Emiya on his side. Emiya is a native of the Isekai world who fell in love with Shi's wits, edgy attitude and beauty. Shi grabs her hand, a protective, instintictive move. He says:

"You drag me across the multiverse only to entertain, your despicable". He cracks a smile and says "But if you need someone to crack some heads then I'm your man".

Kek laughs.

"Oh, you are so funny, I understand why Ms. Miyashita is so fond of you."

The priestess blushes.

"Shi is the best at everything; this is the objective truth. I think myself blessed that Evylion has put him on my path and I thank you humbly for bringing us together to your sanctuary."

Shi and Emiya walk through the portal.

"Hikari!" Emiya says with her beautiful, musical voice. She raises her finger and a gentle, blue light comes out of her finger. They are inside of a stone-walled tunnel, with two doors on each side.

>>4326461
Marcel, a new adventurer, appears in Kek's temple. He chooses to spin the wheel, which stops on a small picture of a man sitting in the lotus position.

"Wonderful! You are now a yogi. If you concentrate and empty your mind, you can use the Ki Blast technique and destroy your opponents with your inner energy."

Marcel feels more calm, his thoughts are more focused. He feels as if he was in a dream, see his environment for the dream that it is, an illusion.

Yogi (class): You are a meditative martial artist; you are considered to have Average skills in martial arts and receive a +2 bonus to Willpower. You can also use the Ki Blast power and dispel illusions and demons.

A E S T H E T I C (cheat): You somehow manage to make everything you do look exponentially cooler than it actually is. If you are stumbling with a sword it will look badass, if you know what you’re doing it will look beyond divine. This yields a massive bonus to convincing others, intimidation, and building a reputation whether it's positive or negative.

>Marcel's Willpower is increased to Incredible

>>4326580
The seasoned veteran Dante appears. He, too, daringly choose to spin the wheel, which stops on the small image of a person with an oversized, crusader helmet.

"Oh..." Kek says, with a hint of fear in his voice. "You are now an inquisitor. This brings back memories. The Inquisitors of 2channel have persecuted me in the past when I was trying to start a cult in Japan."

Kek concentrates.

"An inquisitor is a champion of his deity, a fierce crusader and priest who mercilessly persecutes all of his enemies. I see that you are an atheist. You are then by default considered to worship Atheus, the god of materialist. But if you want to worship another deity, you can make your choice now."

Inquisitor (class): A mix of warrior and priest, you are considered to have Average skills in every weapon and armor, and can also cast priestly spells with a -2 RS penalty. You can choose one favorite enemy once your deity has been selected.

PvP God (cheat): When fighting other players, you gain initiative, when reasonable, and a bonus to attack rolls. Roll 1d3 to determine the bonus.

Houston died in the previous thread, in Pelzer SC, where he was thrown in a dark basement, locked with the cadaver of a pregnant woman, and lost his sanity. Like all members of the Kek Foundation, he gets to be revived in Kek's temple and get a chance at living a new life in the Isekai.

Very daringly, Houston spins Kek's wheel twice... He is teleported to a small room outside of time, with only a TV, where he is forced to watch all the episodes of the anime "Goblin Slayer" repeatedly. He learns all about their behavior and their nests.

After-Effect (cheat): You can bring your timelines together if you focus, allowing you to attack more than once in a single swing, simultaneously from different angles, or even summon an almost-identical duplicate that defers to your judgement. You are also immune to time control and the threat of paradoxes.

Goblin Slayer (cheat): You gain all the knowledge seen in the Goblin Slayer anime. This gives you a +3 RS bonus to attacks against goblins, and a rank of Superhuman in the skill Knowledge(goblin).

>>4326777
All illusion of the defeated hero The Last Defender appears, before his soul travels to his own Isekai world. He speaks in length of his enemies and Wade takes an interest in it. Kek summons a computer for him so that he can access the archives of 4chan. Wade discovers a far-reaching conspiracy involving a flaking QM, a reality-bending quest, and the highest spheres of authority.

>Holy Trips of Kek: For the duration of this thread, Wade can choose to gain a +1 RS bonus to one action. He must announce it in the same post as his action. He must be careful to not waste this precious blessing, ask Houston for more information >>4326773.

Squiddly appears next to Houston. He doesn't remember exactly how he died, but the god Kek explains that he has died and that is why he is in the temple. Is his death related to the demon who was following him?

"Priest of Kek! A most excellent choice!" the god says. "I'm very reliable as a patron god and I will grant you awesome spells."

He pauses.

"When I'm not busy with something else."

The wheel spins and stops on a picture of a small woman in a dark robe.

Priest of Kek (class): You can cast spells related to healing, blessing, and Kek's attributes in general.

Cursed Sage (cheat): You gain the powers called "Dark Heal", "Destroy" and "Death Roulette". Their effect is unknown.

>>4327303
>>4327217
Marcel has a philisophical inner crisis, as part of the adaptation and transformation that is necessary to become a yogi. He walks through Kek's portal, which he notices to be an allegory for the Cosmic Mirror and his transformation journey.

The gladiator Wade follows him. A bit too close, maybe. He seems vaguely creepy.

>>4327162
「Honkler」 A red nose appears on Mark's nose, and two gutters appear, carved on both sides of the floor. The clown blows on his hand as if it was a torch, and flames form in the air and are blown toward the gutters. Flames quickly spread along the gutters, illuminating the entire tunnel. Such is the majestic power of the clown; the clown illuminates what is dark.

>>4327263
Shi tries to cast Shadowy Chainmail, but the spell fizzles. That is a recurrent problem with his sorcery, hence why he has taken the wizard subclass, which he has found to use more reliable magic.

「Strange Aeons」 He then grows his new alien appendages from his upper back. Two slimy tentacles form and stretch above the shoulder and in front of him, as if animated by a life of their own. Emiya turns her head toward her beloved and squeals.

"Eeeeeek! Shokushu!!!"

She puts her hand in front of her mouth to hide her disgust.

"Shi! What is that!"

I know that Shi is a pervert, but I didn't expect this... she thinks to herself.

Shi walks toward one of the doors, holding his desert eagle. But the door opens before he can reach it. An old man, with a long beard and dressed in grey robes, enters. He smiles and introduces himself.

"Greetings, everyone. I am Igorim the Mage, what are you doing in my basement?"

I tried to keep it simple, but here we go.

I never planned on keeping the evidence here and deleted it, so Wuxian wouldn't kick me out of his game, which I thought he might do considering he already deletes posts that go against him.

I'm not TLD dude. It makes for a good story, but sadly most good stories are made up. If the first part of your post was a joke my bad, I wasn't sure if it was or not.
>>
>>4328552
I have to warn you, I'm dangerously retarded and wasn't exaggerating the Minuscule Wisdom score, but it'd be easy to pretend I was being sarcastic. You're genuinely pretty based though, as far as the conventional definition goes if not further; not caring about society's norms as a whole/rejecting broader perception for your own principles, whatever they are. I think the operation has to do with mass-downvoting the Isekai quest's archives, which as easy to sidestep as keeping links to past threads in archive.moe in pastebin, being that TLD's group wouldn't be able to spam /qst/ assuming the theory that QM Wuxian is a moderator himself, as opposed to simply reporting the off-topic meta-discussion, which is generally seen as Bad™ across the site outside of /qa/. I'm not sure what to make of it, I just hope the controversy doesn't kill the quest because I've been looking forward to it since posting.
>>
>>4328572
I think the project is a video or collection of images showing the wrong doings of Wuxian. Spam down voting isn't really a project and I'm pretty sure they have already being doing it. I hope the quest itself isn't affected as well, since I enjoy playing it with you guys.
>>
>>4328582
>>4328572
We’ll just have to wait and see what Wuxian will do. I too hope that this quest keeps on going because I was really excited about it
>>
>>4328582
You're probably right, I think a collection of image macros is the most likely response. QM Wuxian may have flaked in the past but most are guilty of the same and there's no shame in trying to do better. Like I said earlier, I doubt they're a moderator since I've seen quests get wiped of meta-controversy like this before and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, allegations of shitpost impersonations aside. I wouldn't worry about the survival of the quest, this'll probably blow over in a few days.

This is an unrelated question, but is there any reason you went for the Wizard class? Also, are the previous Harem Protag/Edgelord cheats still active, or are you just rolling with Strange Aeons and the still head-over-heels priestess waifu + a pair of gold-plated desert eagles? I was a little confused by the sheet and your subsequent posts.

「Honkler」 Mark recites a cryptical riddle to the mage and activates more of his Honkler power. He suddenly and instinctively feels that he's immune to any vermin that could potentially squat his pants, be they lice, frogs or more common STDs.

Mark pushes the mage on the side, deftly climbs a flight of stairs, and enters what seems to be the mage's living room. It's soberly decorated, with a white statue of Artemis, the Greek goddess of the hunt and innocence, and the head of a deer above the chimney. Magical devices emit a blue energy that the clown feels to be soothing, if not healing. There's also a panel on the wall with various levers and settings written in runes that he cannot read.

With assured gestures, Shi casts his favorite spell, Charm Person. Pink energy flows from the tip of his fingers and enters the orifices of the mage. His facial expression changes subtly, becoming more relaxed as he becomes more receptive to suggestions.

Shi enquires about spells and the guild.

"Oh, yes, I'm experienced, but spells proper are only used by the highest level wizards of the Adventurer's Guild and the Sorcerer's Guild, and I have no claim to such fame. I am a mage of nature, I produce potions and balms, and bring peace to the creatures of nature. This moving castlet can travel between the city and the wilderness depending on my needs."

Shi can tell the the mage is not lying. Through one of the windows, he can see that they are in an arid wasteland.

"If I drive to the north, we should reach Visea in about an hour or two, where you will find a Guild for certain. I was here at the frontier of the empire to heal the animals who have been hurt by the orcs."

>>4327526
Squiddly speaks in a very friendly manner.

“Oh, a fellow researcher of the arcane, how lovely. Please forgive us, it appears that our lord and savior Kek has sent us here through the device Shi here talked about. "

"You are a worshipper of Kek! That should have been obvious. That a party of heteroclite adventurers appear in my basement, that could only mean they are members of Kek's Adventurer's Guild. Tell me, what do you know about the arcane? I would love to discuss the subject with you. Also, the young master's name is Shi? What else do you know about him?"

For some reason, he seems fascinated with Shi.

>>4327533
Wade cracks a psychotic smirk.

"Salutations Igorim, You wouldn't happen to have a monster infestation or bandit gang you'd like to get rid of for cheap, would you?"

"I wish no harms to monsters or bandits! We are all Artemis' children, in our own way. Monsters and bandits are named as such only because they do not fit the norms of human society, but all they want is to leave in peace. They might kill to survive, but so does all natural life. It's a cycle of predator and prey, no one can fight it. The elves might dillusion themselves into believing that they are beyond the cycle by refusing to eat meat, but they are no better than others. As a woosdman, I think you should understand."

"Hahaha. You seem to be an upstanding sort mage, it's not often I hear of a magic user venerating Artemis, though I must admit I'm more partial to Aristaeus. You say if you drive? I don't intend to pry, but does that mean you have a vehicle of some sort of stashed here? Where are we, by the by? I haven't seen the outside and can't quite triangulate. I appear to have lost my gear during the transit and need to replace it at the earliest possible opportunity. Difficult to go adventuring as is, but where there's people there's unskilled labour to be done, and I might be able to eke out a pittance."

>>4328850
Mark asks about the deer.

"It doesn't do anything. This is the head of a noble stag, as a representation of the predator and prey cycle of the world, a beautiful memento memori. I like to look at it to be reminded of my status. As a magician, sometimes, I feel overpowered, but I'm no fool, I know that I'm not a god."

>>4328894
Wade asks about the vehicle.

"Do I have a vehicle? Yes, of course. You are actually alraedy inside of the vehicle. This is a moving castlet that can travel overland. Let me show you." the mage says.

He walks toward the lever panel and pulls one of the levers. The floor trembles, and the party can hear the collision of the footsteps of a moving goliath beneath them. Wade notices through the window that they are indeed moving.

"You don't know where you are, do you? I understand, you were teleported inside of the basement. We are on the southern frontier of the Empire of Tyria. The city of Visea is to the north, and to the south is the Wasteland, ruled by the orcs."

「Memory」Mark remembers that Devapura, the city of the Gods, was too located to the south of the Empire of Tyria. That means Kek's portal didn't bring him very far from his last location.

The timelines might be confusing, but the Grimdark setting in a separate timeline, in the future of the Isekai, so it will not be considered canonical.

Wade explains that he has lost his possessions.

"As a gladiator, it should be easy to earn some easy money. I can tell that you're a great fighter, your body is solid and only bears one scar on the side of your head."
>>
>>4329431

>>4328997
Shi asks about spells scrolls and magic books.

(The mage had already stated previously that he doesn't have scrolls)

"Grimoires are very rare. I only have a book about basic spells that are used for teaching, but nothing advanced. Sorcerers always make their own spells depending on the situation and their own imagination. A sorcerer that lacks imagination would make a poor sorcerer. I do not think a beginner book would interest you, would it?"

>>4329039
Squiddly says that Shi is stupidly powerful.

The wizard nods.

"I can feel that young master Shi is very powerful. He emits a strong aura of magic that any sorcerer could perceive. Perhaps it is the strongest aura I've felt."

Squiddly asks questions about orcs and plants.

"The orcs are here because they are in a perpetual war against humans, so they always live on the edge of civilization. They haven't developed the ability to farm -- or they don't want to, I don't know which it is. Regardless, they only live from raiding humans, elves and beastmen. They are the ultimate predators."

He tells Squiddly to follow him to an adjacent room. This is a wonderful, romantic greenhouse, a delightful indoor garden with many varieties of trees and flowers and a fountain. It seems to be partly automated, as Squiddly can spot metallic tubes which he assumes to be for watering the plants, and he can hear the distinctive rattle of gears. It's a very tranquil place, that brings peace to his mind, and makes him forget the horrors of Pelzer.

***

They speak with the mage for about an hour. The landscape becomes more green and pastural, until they reach the city. The first thing that they see is a zeppelin flying in the sky! The city is walled with bricks, and the buildings that they can see seem dirty: it gives a strange impression of a mix of medieval and Victorian architecture. Black smoke comes out of a gigantic factory chimney, and they can smell the faint odor of sulfur. Igorim explains that this is Visea, a city ruled by alchemists, merchants and slavers. A very dangerous place but still much less dangerous than the Wasteland. For Squiddly, this is the first Isekai city that he has ever seen. Igorum pulls a lever, and the castlet stops moving.

>not terrible but not great either, if the Wasteland is similar don't want to relive the experience, or run afoul of the orcs ruling it, though as Igorim mentioned vegetarian elves and we've been Isekai'd, that implies cliches are in play and pig-orcs are likely, know firsthand that hogs are dangerous as hell and likely no less dangerous than green-barbarian orcs or, lady luck stay her bitch hand, tolkienesque industrialist orcs
>that and there's likely magic pollution leftover from whatever made the Wasteland, because they referred to it as the Wasteland and not the Desert, a bad idea all around
>nod to the mage and touch hand to scar on left side of head, faded pink, in the middle space between ear and eye, and goes straight from an inch below the scalp to the middle of the cheek
"Funny thing, the scar's completely unrelated to my gladiatorial career. I got in an accident running into some sharp sheet metal while I was helping a friend herd some cows into a cattle trai- pasture."
>continue listening to the mage, orcs are apparently raiders in a perpetual war against humans, elves, and beastmen, who, if Isekai cliches hold true, are likely humans but with animal ears and tails, which is a bit boring but I remind myself to be thankful I wasn't Isekai'd in my own setting and freezing in ashen snow at this point
>more importantly, the mage confirms that orcs aren't industrialists or at least, not at a large scale, which is reassuring as hell

Update in 2-3 hours

The update is going to take more time today because I'm going to sort the inventories. I couldn't keep track of the inventories before because I was posting from both home and the office. But now with the "epidemics" I work from home so it's easier to make a file.

Hello KTTL. I will add it to the Adventurer's Guild, that's good, it adds to the chaos.

As for writing tips, I'm not the most qualified because I speak English as a second language too. But I feel your grammar has improved overall. Have you been doing a lot of reading?

>tfw Dante, Steve, and Marcel haven't posted in a few days
I hope they didn't drop the quest.


>>4330842
Is there any reason you went with the 100 instead of the 94 for the question about Arenas in the last update? It's not that big of a deal since they'd both likely be Crit Nos, but I didn't realize that crits took precedent.
>>
>>4330912
>Is there any reason you went with the 100 instead of the 94 for the question about Arenas in the last update?
Yes, the reason is Isekai Rule #1. The first three rolls are reserved to the player's main actions, that helps for the players to know if they've rolled good or not.

The question about the arenas is not an action, it's a question for me to generate the environment, so I took the 4th roll.

I do mix up the rolls sometimes though, if it affects your character you can point it out and then I try to fix it on the next turn.

I'm sorting the inventories. It was Shi who had made bagpipes out of Hero William's lungs.

William's Bagpipes:The bagpipes still have a raw, organic look, with a hint of Cthulhu caused by the intervention of chaos magic. To say it more plainly, they look quite disgusting, but they are perfectly functional as a musical instrument.

Wade checks his pockets to make sure that the God of Chaos hasn't slipped any "surprise" in them, but he only has his folding knife and wallet, as expected.

Wade says:

"You're the one with a gun and the only healer we have's crawling all over you, so I'll tow the line."

Incorrect! Squiddly is a priest of Kek, and he also has a healing cheat, which makes him a double healer.

Mark asks Iggie for provisions.

"I think I've helped you enough by bringing you here. Now, you need to fly on your own wings. As experienced adventurers, you do not need to help of an old man such as myself for something as trivial as getting provisions."

Mark asks if the castle is powered by a fire demon. The mage nods his head absent-mindedly.

「Intuition」Mark feels that the mage is nodding to brush away the question, but in fact, he probably does not want to reveal all the secrets of his castle.

>Mark has drawn the picture of a deer, but as it holds no particular clown energy, it has no special effect

>>4330726
Squiddly snaps an orchid from the greenhouse. He closes his eyes and concentrates on his power of Dark Heal, which is part of the Cursed Sage cheat. Dark energy leaves his mouth for a few centimeters, but then goes back inside.

「Intuition」Squiddly "feels" that he doesn't have enough money to properly use his Dark Heal power. He cannot explain much else about this feeling, but he's certain that the activation of the magic doesn't work for as long as he's a poorfag.
>>
>>4331031

>>4329476
[RANDOM EVENT / NPC Positive] Inspired by the freshness of his visitors, Igorim has found the energy to repair the sound system of his castle. When they arrive, he honks his horn to announce their arrival. The sound is similar to the singing of a whale, but deeper and louder.

Shi gets the directions to the guild from Igorim and leads the way to the entrance of the city, with a self-assured footstep, followed by his girlfriend, Emiya, and a girl with dark brown hair who came out of the basement after the castle stopped moving. The mysterious girl doesn't seem too happy. Who is she?! The rest of the party follows behind them. Shi generously pays the entrance fee for everyone, which is only 1 copper coin; a negligible amount for a man of his rank. He throws them one more coin as a tip for their good services.

The Adventurer's Guild is located close to the entrance of the town, to the left. Shi discovers that Visea is not anywhere near as dangerous as Igorim said. No one is hostile to him, and people tend to get out of his way. He kicks the door of the guild open, and checks out the environment, his vision hindered by his sunglasses.

Contrasting with the rest of the town, which is rather advanced on a technological level, the Adventurer's Guild is a wooden building, with a wooden floor and a giant, magical looking, blue-green tree growing in the middle, surrounding by small, floating balls of energy dancing around its trunk. Like all Adventurer's Guild, it has a board where all the open quests are posted, and there are three maids standing behind glass-protected counters, each one having a different hair color; the maid on the left has green hair, the one in the middle pink hair, and the one on the right, yellow hair. A stylized portrait of Pepe the Frog is drawn on the wall behind them, inside of a circle. Overall, the guild gives an impression of good taste, kawaiiness, and positive energy.

>Steve, Marcel, Dante, and Houston will remain in the guild hall or tavern until active.

>>Abigail is an Isekai victim who was enslaved by bandits in the nightmare desert of Wadrima. She knows nothing about Aphrodite, except that she's the Goddess of Love. Hero William freed her from the bandits and they escaped the desert together, but when William was defeated in the Familia War, Shi made her his slave adventurer. He said that she disobeys even once, he'll kill her and use her body to make a revenant who will obey him.

Holy fuck, how based can one man become? If this continues full-frontal, I might be getting a Creepy boon just for associating with the same party. In all seriousness though, can you give me a link to the thread this went down in so I can read it? Sounds like an interesting story.

I was partially bluffing with the secretary, I have no idea if my mostly theoretical understanding of /x/-tier ritualism, warding/contacting entities, and goetic shit transfers to the Isekai setting.

>>4331078
A red nose appears on Mark's face. He squeezes it and an holographic illusion of the prostitute Riley Reid appears in the middle of the guild hall. Her face and body are accurately reproduced in the slightest detail that Mark can remember. A soldier, surprised, tries to cover her up with his cape to protect her modesty, but his arm goes through her. He laughs when he realized that it was not a real person. The illusion remains for as long as Mark concentrated on it in his mind, and disappeared afterward.

>>4331352
Squiddly inspects the glowing tree. He can't really figure out what its purpose is. The closest thing to it in his world would be the elven trees in World of Warcraft. He tries to take one of the floating balls, but they are immaterial and thus impossible to catch.

Shi turns to the brown-haired girl and asks "Who are you?"

For a split second, she frowns with anger, then she looks down. "I'm... Abigail, your slave."

Abigail is a slave that Shi has earned from the Familia War between Kek and Loki, during his stay in Devapura, the City of the Gods. Shi is part of Loki's Familia. The entire Kek Familiar was slaughtered by his team, only Abigail survived and Shi captured her. She's a low-level priestess. Shi dismisses her and goes to the pink-haired girl's counter.

"Bienvenue, messire."

She asks each person of the group to touch a crystal ball, which radiates with some energy when they put their hand on it. It radiates the most when it is Shi who touches it.

"I see that you are all members of Kek's Adventurer's Guild and registered with a Familia. And incredible! You are an A rank, that's pretty rare! You can exchange Kek Points for spell scrolls but I see that you do not have any point currently. To earn Kek Points, you can look at our board for quests that are suitable for your rank."

Wade touches the crystal sphere too.

"I see that you've registered at the Adventurer's Guild of the Malachite Theocracy. You have 3 points which are transferrable to the Kek's Adventurer's Guild, would you like to do so?"

She hands him an ID card with his picture on it.

Wade enquires about work. The girl giggles when Wade enumerates all of his professions.

"That's quite a peculiar document, but we don't need a scribe. You can look at the quests on the quest board, and bring me one that you like."

Wade enquires about free equipment. She goes to the backroom and bring back a rusty short sword.

"We are prepared for this type of situation. You wouldn't believe how often our members lose all of their equipment. You can have this sword, it's worthless."

Wade enquires about eateries. The woman points to an elevated tavern on the side of the guild hall.

"Yes, you should definitely try out the guild tavern, our specialty is the bouchée impériale."

Considering I'm an A rank and have 2 heal sluts, I think I should 2 shares or 40% of the profit. If we were to say give 1 point for each letter 1 being D and 4 being A. Then I and the heal sluts would total up to 8 which is 4 times as much as the average adventurer using wade as a base. In that case, if we give each adventurer a base of 1 share, I would get 4 shares and 57% of the profit with current group numbers, but since I'm so gracious I'll ask for only 2 shares or 40% of the profit.
>>
>>4331985
Mind you, captains of pirate ships would get 2 shares and that's only because of their strategic decision making. I have that, I'm 2 times as strong as the average adventurer, and I have 2 heal sluts, so I think it's only fair that I get at least 2 shares of the profit.

Oh fuck that was one hell of a ride, by the way you were referring to him I thought William was an NPC similar to Abigail but I realized my impression was dead-wrong about five minutes in. Damn, I don't think he deserved any of that, especially considering that he didn't bitch out with the castrating bandits, but you were on opposing sides and I guess that's just how the cookie crumbles.

>>4332185
This reminds me, I overlooked a smorgasbord of skills and weaknesses I should probably include. Nothing too major, but a Fear of Heights, Inability to Swim, and Mathematical Retardation might come up at some point. I'm not exaggerating about the last bit either, I have difficulty doing double-digit addition and subtraction in my head to the point it starts heating up after a dozen or so problems and they're generally incorrect unless I start counting with my fingers and keep track of things with scratch paper. The magic system is centered around imaginative visualization/sheer willpower so I likely won't come up, but barring supernatural empowerment I'm unlikely to be doing much precise engineering. I'm not bad with a crossbow or rifle either, anything in thirty yards I can generally hit a bullseye four out of five times, but beyond that it drops off considerably, probably Below Average, factoring in that a professional can get similar success at fifty or more whereas mine drops off considerably.

11/10, would form a panicked and futile shield wall against. I don't know what it is but for me grimdark in fantasy is like honey on a biscuit, I don't need it to enjoy the shit but fuck if it doesn't make it that much sweeter. The grimdark can be anywhere on the mystical/mundane spectrum, as long as it's there. Maybe it's to balance the /comfy/ from a narrative and mechanical standpoint, resting for a week in a peaceful village means a lot more when the party's seen an orc/undead horde raze/raise them firsthand. You probably know exactly what I'm talking about, thank you for posting, that shit is the witch's titis.
>>
>>4332734
That doesn't account for support roles, so I disagree. I think I should get 2 shares and everyone else gets one share, that seems fair to me.
>>
>>4332903
Let's break it down. If the baseline share is 5%, and there are, hell if I know, five of us? We could break it down like this. Each extra Tier is worth 5% more onto the share, tapering off at 2.5% from Tiers A-B to prevent a single adventurer from monopolizing the lion's share of the income. As a Tier A adventurer, you'd be entitled to a straight 20% but Abigail isn't an independent adventurer, she's technically your property and doesn't have any claim on a baseline share, so what she gets counts as yours, for another 5%, adding up to 25% overall. Emiya is a Tier B adventurer and free, so she gets 17.5%, as per the baseline and her rank, which she can then spend as she will. Altogether that's ludicrous but reasonable, as I'm entitled to a 15% share, I'll forfeit 10% to leave me with the baseline 5% and first dibs on the corpses of any monsters we slay, which seems reasonable, given I have the requisite experience to remove their bodyparts. More important than even shares though is that everyone gets back what they're putting in, at least those are my thoughts on the situation. What do you all think?
>>
>>4332934
That seems fair. I would rather your not mess with corpses and instead help me peform my rituals to summon lovecraften monsters using their dead bodies. I think that would be way creepier than just taking an eye ball or somthing, and this get you a much larger bonus.
>>
>>4332934
Alternatively, we could dump 40% into a party fund that goes toward rations/rent and divvy the rest up on a case-by-case basis depending on how much each individual did on a given quest. It'd be ridiculous to split a reward eight ways when there were only three participants, after all, but then there's the issue of how to determine how "well" a given adventurer did, which is an admittedly vague criteria. Maybe splitting it evenly, not accounting for slaves/followers who receive a half-share or hirelings who get their agreed-upon wage as paid by their employer, outside the party fund would be best? That seems like a logical and reasonable way to go about it.
>>
>>4332943
I do not condone forbidden rituals but generally you need live bodies and extensive, expensive preparations for this sort of serious shit, the more valuable i.e., "innocent" the sacrifice the more the summoner gets out of it though that's not a hard rule. Sapients are almost always worth more than animals but that involves its own problems, and magical power and/or Adventurer's Guild tier is likely another factor to stay conscious of. The sentimental value of a sacrifice is important too, someone's sibling they've known since birth is exponentially more than someone random off the street, but again, that has its own implications and I don't know how much of the minutia (specific wards, incantations, etc.) translates to Lovecraftian rituals, or if I'd be able to pitch in, not having the Strange Aeons cheat. It's an extremely sketchy subject of dubious returns unless you're willing to do some heinous shit and/or lose a part of yourself you can't replace. The monster corpses aren't just useful for ritualistic sacrifices/boosting Creepiness, I plan to butcher and sell the meat/bones/ivory/what have you, though I'd be pitching around a quarter of what I gained from it back to the party. Alternatively, if you guys are onboard, going full Dungeon Meshi could be doable.

Shi casts his favorite spell, Charm Person, on the maid. His magical energy enters through her nostrils, and make her inebriated, as if she had drank too much elven wine. She goes to the storage room and brings the following scrolls to Shi:

>Scroll of Summon Demon
>Scroll of Mass Fear
>Scroll of Mass Strife
>Scroll of Detect Snares and Pits
>Scroll of Mass Confusion
>Scroll of Protection from Evil
>Scroll of Rage

"By Kek! I don't know why I'm doing this. Those scrolls are the property of the guild: they are supposed to be exchanged for a lot Kek Points. This is a true treasure. I will definitely be caught, fired, and probably imprisoned. But I don't care, right now. I'm feeling very detached and even euphoric. Hehe."

She laughs for a bit, in a mechanical manner.

Shi heads to the quest board. He relies on his instinct developed by frequenting the /b/ board, one of the filthiest boards of 4chan, to find quests related to monster girls. The last two quests catch his attention not for being related to monster girls, but because they are the highest ranked on the board and thus yield the most Kek Points.

From easiest to most difficult.

>"The Night Rapist" (E Rank) - 2 Kek Points
In the southern outpost, at the edge of the Empire, a mysterious creatures has been raping the soldiers at night, for several days now. (Shi thinks that if it rapes soldiers, it must be some sort of monster girl.)

>"The Aranea of Pulogne" (D rank) - 3 KP
A spider creature has taken home in the Wood of Pulogne and destroyed a large area. As the area becomes larger and larger, it's becoming a threat to human civilization. (Aranea sounds like a monster girl.)

>"White Slavery" (C rank) - 10 KP
The kidnapping of lower class women and prostitution is on the rise in the Lower Quarter. A succubus is suspected for the orchestration of both. (Literally a monster girl.)

>"The Crimean PLC" (B rank) - 20 KP

"Yes, the city has a library in the Noble Quarters, but no Temple of Kek. The major deities worshipped in Visea are Hermes and Hephaestus. The Adventurer's Guild is an island of sanity in a sea of evil and the closest thing to a Temple of Kek there is."

The maid has information pamphlets about the major classes. They are written in French and English. She brings him a pamphlet about priests, and another one about Kek.

Priests do not cast spells per say. They pray to their god to create miracles which take the appearance of spells. The miracles vary depending on their god's attributes, but it is expected that good gods will grant healing miracles, and evil gods harmful miracles.

Kek is the god of chaos and darkness. He should not be mistaken for an evil deity: he represents the darkness that brings dawn, and not the darkness of evil. His force of chaos represents freedom and creativity. As such, Kek is the patron of artists and NEETs. He is truly the most benevolent of all gods.

Squiddly touches the guild crystal. He's informed that he's a B rank and he receives his guild ID card.

>I give it an experimental twirl in the air, seeing if my Class's skill also applies to theatrical displays
Wade tries a few fighting moves with the short sword: attacks and counter-attacks against an imaginary enemy. The weight is not optimal, but he can use it with full proficiency. At least, he thinks so. He's not an actual gladiator; it's a power that he's received from Kek and that is in his muscle memory. But he feels that his moves are fast and accurate. He then spins the sword on his side, and then above his head. Feeling inspired, he lauches the sword in the air, then catches it with his fingertip. The sword for him is but a toy with which he can juggle at ease. Those moves are probably useless in an actual fight, but this is the kind of theatrical moves that can impress the crowd.

Ayame, a new adventurer, appears in Kek's Temple. She chooses to spin the wheel for her class. It stops on the image of a small hermit wearing a bear suit. The druid class! Kek tells her to walk through the portal and make contact with other Earthlings who will help her adjust to her life in the new world. He barely pays any attention to her afterward, as he's busy eating tendies and watching anime on a floating screen.

She walks through the portal and appears in the Adventurer's Guild hall, before Shi Hito. He's wearing a trenchcoat and sunglasses, as if he was a character from the Matrix movie. Unmistakably an Isekai victim, like her, as everyone else in the room is dressed in medieval attire. Shi Hito, also called "The Death Eater" or simply "Lord Shi", is a strong, handsome man, of the Japanese ethnicity, like her.

Druidess: You are a priestess who draws her power directly from Nature and not from any deity. You can cast spells that involve healing, charm, the weather and nature. You gain the Shapeshifting skill, rank Average.

>>4333069
The basic plan would be this, I would be bait for the succubus letting cast charm on me and then pretending to be under her spell. I would give the location of her base to the rest of the party through some kind of magic, once I’m kidnapped. I would distract her with idle conversation, while the party would try and get as close as possible to her while reaming undetected. Once I say the signal the casters would cast binding spells on her and I would wrap her up in my tentacles, and then force her to make a pact with me. If she breaks free we move to combat. I will face her head-on, while the rest of the party keeps their distance. Spellcasters will provide support, while I engage her. Melee people will deal with her minions. When she's weak enough spell casters cast binding spells, I constrict her with my tentacles, and we force her to make a pact with me. If she tries to flee before this I will shadow-step and attack her forcing her to deal with me before fleeing.

"Out of curiosity, are there any regulations on street-side performing?"
>>
>>4333088
That's a good plan, the problem is that she's been kidnapping women and the secretary you charmed will realize her mind's been tampered with and report it, and by extension, the rest of the party once she recovers. I think you could take advantage of the fact she's charmed to act as bait to draw in the succubus, because Isekai cliche dictates that the Adventurer's Guild secretaries are sexually attractive to facilitate fanservice for the thirsty NEETs watching them but that's not relevant here, the succubi will likely jump on the chance to get a hold of someone less corrupted than local prostitutes. Offering her to smooth over a prospective pact could be a good deal, and when we claimed that the demon attacked us and stole her soul in the Lower Quarter, we wouldn't technically trigger any lie-detecting spells.
>>
>>4333102
I don't like selling an innocent to cover for thief faggotry and don't want to make a habit of it but if the Adventurer's Guild cracks down every one of us is a dead-man walking. I bet the succubi's somehow involved with the slavers, this is a textbook edgy anime plot.

Also this is unlikely because Isekai, but in the original legend there's no gender distinction between incubi and succubi, they're the same demon and aren't able to produce their own hellspawn so they steal genetic material as the latter, corrupt it, and inseminate mortal women as the former, corrupting the offspring and everyone involved. This is relevant because Isekai is notorious for its perversion and while I strongly doubt incubi are one-side of the same entity or that they're a singular, genderless shapeshifter, as opposed to the gender-switching, there could be a sick spin of futa-faggotry involved which incentives me to recommend against any body-altering pacts. I dislike >>>/d/, cowgirls are about as extreme as I get, but we need to be sure we analyse every angle possible before making what could be a serious mistake.

Ah, I see. I meditate daily to manage my anger issues but I imagine that's nowhere near as rigorous as what a priest would undergo. Hmm... Can I still ask? Temples tend to be solid employers and cults often have access to... interesting contacts. Beside that, getting inducted into a cult and starting on the tedious process of currying enough favor with a deity to get ordained is a decent long-loong-looong term goal. I don't suspect I'd able to gain another class without putting in extensive effort. Not really any need to get involved with a cult, either, just trying to contact a sufficiently hands-off, amoral deity at an altar of theirs might be enough to get on the good side of an entity more reliable than the frog god, blessed be his digits. At least to ensure I'm not damned for following Shi or flouting what should've been (and was(!) certain death once.

I assume someone could -theoretically- become a Priest if they did it the long and hard way, just like they could become a Fighter or Thief or rarer niche class. Being a Sorcerer is much more innate to them, and probably isn't really something that can be trained.

...

Are regular blood infusions with a Sorcerer enough to artificially induce a Sorcerer's Gift, or would that just function as a sort of piss-weak random magic potion if it did anything at all?

I'll be straight with you, Shi is one of the best examples of the Neutral Evil alignment I've ever seen. Asking him not to abuse power is equivalent to asking a vampire not to drink blood, or an orc to butcher and raze the lands of men. It isn't in their nature, it is a very reckless, very self-serving nature but it's gotten him this far and he has the two most reliable healers in the party wrapped around his finger the best we can do from a moral standpoint, short of settling it in hyperviolence, is to mitigate the collateral damage.
>>
>>4333220
This is Isekai-land, I'd bet my ass they have a password for accessing equipment to prevent shapeshifters from doing exactly that, and you might want to find somewhere to hide before shapeshifting into someone infront of their coworkers.

On an unrelated note, do you think it'd be a bad idea to add an alignment section to my character sheet? Not trying to get into an argument about D&Disms, I think most of them are somewhat retarded, but for measuring how I'd probably be picked up by the sense-whatever spells that seem to be everywhere in these kinds of high-fantasy settings?
>>
On second thought, it'd probably be better to start off neutral, and then veer left or right, or up or down on the chart as QM Wuxian sees fit as the quest goes on.
>>
>>4333286
hey I’m a healer too, so he hasn’t got the monopoly of healing. And just because that’s actually what his character would do and a profitable behavior, my character would still oppose it. And maybe I can change Shi from “manipulating slavemaster bastard” to just “slavemaster”. But I agree on the fact that he’s a very good example of neutral evil (though I’d place him more on the chaotic side)
>>
>>4333298
That's how it works, I actually have a chart. Shi does not have an evil alignment.
>>
>>4333317
He did want to become the ice lord so I wouldn't place him as chaotic. I like Shi, his mindset is a refreshing foil to moralfaggotry without going too far, and every party needs at least one adventurer whose morals go against the grain, whether that's the necomancer suggesting bandit corpses don't go to waste or a fighter saying a disadvantageous surrender terms are preferable to starving thousands in a prolonged siege.

The pink-haired girl explains the White Slavery quest to Shi.

"Several of the poor families have reported to us that their daughter has been kidnapped. At the same time, we've had reports of an increase in prostitution in the Lower Quarter. One of our adventurers went on an investigation mission and interrogated one of the prostitutes. She said that she'd been trained by a woman of otherwordly beauty, with dark horns and powerful wings, and of intense cruelty. This presence is clearly abnormal and we have concluded that this is a succubus, and either she's been summoned by someone or found her way into Visea. The mission is to destroy the succubus and bring her head back to the guild. Any concrete evidence regarding who she works for will get a bonus."

Shi asks who controls the city and who controls the guild.

"The city is controlled by Mayor de Vemières, and the guild is controlled by the Guild Master Solana."

Shi is brought to the study room, which contains a small library and is also used for adventurers who need to meditate. Emiya and his slave follow him and sit next to him. Shi carefully takes the Scroll of Mass Strife out of his backpack, and begins studying it. He understand the basic concepts of mood based on the humors, as he's familiar with it from the Charm Person spell. Unfortunately, it also contains other arcane topics that are beyond his level of comprehension. Arcane magic is a purely intellectual discipline, like mathematics, and without proper comprehension, he will not be able to memorize or cast the spell. It is the first time Shi's slave visits a study room, and she finds it extremely boring.

Mark asks about the current gossips.

"Everyone is talking about Governor de Clarichanteau. Lately, he has lowered the tax rate and consequently, the conditions of life of the poor people has improved. There are rumors that he has met a woman, or that he's witnessed a miracle..."

He uses his clown magic to give her an illusionary cat tail. She raises her hand, imitating the paw of a cat, and says "Meow!"

Mark asks for an armor. She goes to the backroom and brings back a rusty chain mail. It fits him more or less and provides some protection.

"I recommend going to the smithery Chaufeu de métal for quality equipment. It's in the same street as the guild, to the right when you are leaving. The blacksmith has established an excellent reputation among the guild members and he can craft special armors and weapons if you bring him special ores that you collect during your adventuring."

Wade asks about the Lower Quarter.

"The Lower Quarter is located in the south-west part of town. This is where the poorer people and the criminals live. Most people are not harmful, although they will try to scam you if they see that you possess some wealth. However, it can be dangerous for guild members. They hate the Adventurer's Guild, and if they spot that you're a member, they will try to intimidate you or even kill you."

Wade asks about regulations on street-side performing. She informs him that there are none.

Wade asks about the known temples and cults in town. The main cult is the cult of Hermes, who's worshipped by alchemists and factory workers, and second is Hephaestus.

(Before she left Kek's temple, the god summoned a JSDF combat knife for her, as seen in the GATE anime.)

Ayame grows ears and a tail, and transforms into a catgirl, a humanoid species native of the Isekai. She gives a daisy to Mark, and a lily to Wade, which she has created in her hand with her newly acquired druidic powers.

She tries to transform in Sophia, but she feels that she's unable to. Her Shapeshifting power allows her to take the form of another race or species, but she always carries her own characteristic as compared to the average species. For example, whether she turns into a catgirl or an elf, her traits will adapt to the race, but she will keep her purple hair and eyes. That is different from a doppelganger, who copies all traits of their target.

Squiddly sits on the floor and begins priestly meditating to understand Kek's intentions. He focuses on the subject of harmful miracles.

He understands that Kek can curse people who like to drag attention on themselves and turn them into a non-descript green anon. That is in line with the god's ethics, who has gifted mankind with anonymous message boards. His philosophy is that people must kill the false ego of the human body and connect with their Kek Consciousness, the divine, higher consciousness said to reside inside of everyone. That is truly the essence of his teaching.

Another favorite miracle of Kek is to destroy banks and wealthy businesses. Kek abbhors evil merchants more than anything because they enslave humans with their evil money. It is to be remembered that Kek is a god of freedom (cf. previous turn). His favorite destruction is to cast them alive in gold, thus punishing them by which they have sinned, but he also enjoys burning them, drowning them or simpling bringing old-fashioned thunder on their house.

Further, Squiddly understands that since Kek is a god of chaos, his magic tends to be very varied, even infinite.

Ayame like's Wade-kun's idea, but isn't much of a showman. She starts to make fruit and flower crowns to sell. After a bit she asks to go outside and do weather/knife training. She does not have a partner so she just throws it at some tree.

And then Ayame wondered if she could jump higher so she chucked the knife up at a high branch, but she missed and had to run to catch it before someone dies, but she killed some lady be running into them. (if she's not that fast she just broke a lot of bones)

After panicking again she wondered why would Kek make her a speedster if she "was one before". Or if she could talk to kitties. Or if she could charge her psp. Or if she could run so fast she could set fags on fire, neat!

She reviewed her stuff.
>1 psp with broken screen
>one 5 y.o. smartphone
>1 cat phone charm
>1 pair of earbuds

So the thief stole the wallet and believed the psp was finished. She's still in her uniform so she took that off so her bra and panties showed. Then made a flowercrown of purple daises that are cute.

She tries to charm a dude for kek coins to buy a shield and potions with. Maybe a witch hat, arm warmers and black thighs.

The funny thing is that you can't just do somthing you have to roll for it so they're rolling to kill that old lady. What makes it even funnier is that every action has an equal opposite reaction and with below avearge toughness if they were to kill the lady by running into her they would be hurt even worse than her and die.

You can't decide what happens before you roll when you take an action or write dialogue for another character, that's what the QM's supposed to determine from the dice results. It's an Isekai anime setting, shenanigans are bound to happen on their own, everyone appreciates the enthusiasm but there's no need to try and rush things. Also, what the fuck's the in-character reason for stripping half-naked in public?

To be fair I'm pretty sure most old ladies have lower than Below Average Toughness, and some Shapeshifters are capable of healing themselves by switching from their current form to one without the damage though I'm not certain that's the case here because they're unable to shapeshift their broad appearance, just their race and form, which implies some continuity is maintained

Living legend. Your Death Roulette cheat worries the hell out of me, it's probably beat the RNG or die applied to the entire room including you, which is terrifying and potentially ludicrously powerful or horrible depending on your luck. If Destroy does what I think it does and applies to doors, a Thief would be rendered largely redundant though... It might be a bad idea to use on locked treasure chests.

>>4334054
Your first quest? That's okay, we've all been there and done that at some point. More or less how it works with the Mythic RPG system is you state your actions, roll an appropriate number of dice, and then the GM takes and feeds them into the GM Emulator to randomly generate what happens and how NPCs react. In the context of the thread, we, the players, each control an individual character, their actions, reactions, and everything about them save the result of the actions they undertake. Together, the QM's updates and each player's feedback/replies make an emergent narrative or "quest." I hope you enjoy the quest but in all seriousness what the fuck why would you decide to start taking off your fucking clothes in front of the anime-equivalent to the unionized bounty hunter/vigilante precinct? After potentially, knowingly killing a woman with zero response or remorse to the act of manslaughter? That's just, I don't fucking know, fuck.

Hey Shi, out of curiosity, what would you do if you had my dual blessings? I'm planning on getting some candles, chalk, and wine in an isolated inn room and using my knowledge of occultism to try and commune with an aspect of the Slime Lord, then dump both blessings into negotiating favourable terms for a portion of its power in exchange for the branding of my chest with its sigil and possibly a random preferably innocuous mutation or two because I'm pretty comfortable with body horror and that could smooth over negotiations.

That sounds like a decent plan to me turn some short term benfits into longterm ones. Though, let's hope kek doesn't get angry at you trading away his blessings

>>4334086
Ah that's right, like I said I wasn't underselling my Wisdom score and forgot. I like to think I'm somewhat self-aware, but if I was I'd have fact-checked before mentioning that. Yeah I don't know if that will end well for them.

>>4334093
Hmm, now that I think of it, I could offer to dissolve a portion of my treasure instead. Slimes are generally pretty big on dissolving shit and I don't think the Slime Lord is likely to be any different.
>>
>>4334096
Isac Newton's third law states "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction." Thus if you apply force on her that force would be applied back on you equally. If you successfully apply enough force to the lady to kill, the same amount of force would be applied to you and you would die as well.

>>4334098
I'm glad you think so, you seem to be a solid judge of cutthroat ways to accumulate power. As for trading away the blessings, one of them are the numericals of Jesus Christ, blessed be his name and so on, but they can specifically be used on any action so I doubt the associated entity is too involved in the action. My long-term plan is to have a dozen sigils branded onto my chest in a circle, each feeding a little bit of power and corruption that can grant me the powers of a Warlock that's sold his soul without compromising mine, which I plan to dedicate to a deity that's fine with accumulating power at all costs, has a decent portfolio, and a philosophy I can vibe with. Once I've done that, I'll etch their symbol into the center myself and use my chest as a portable ritual embedded in my flesh. From there I'll try to start a cult and look into magitech cybermetics, if I didn't do so earlier. That's all extremely long-term and I'm highly likely to get burnt at the stake or dragged into an alternate hell dimension before then though.

>>4334110
Yes but we are in magical Isekai anime land, which means that the laws of anime bullshit can arbitrarily supersede conventional logic, like in Naruto with some of the high-flying ninjitsu. I wouldn't bank on it from that's far from a sure thing.
>>
>>4334140
Thanks Shi. I have to leave for now. What would you like?
>>
>>4334148
>*portable ritual circle embedded in my flesh
I basically want to BE the kind of threat that an S Tier Adventurer's Guild party would be assigned to hunt down. Turning it into a soul furnace could be cool in an edgy way, aka, the best way, but it's a bit out of the scope of my knowledge.
>>
>>4334152
The party's about to go on a mission to capture a succubus that's been kidnapping women and bring its head back to the Adventurer's Guild. You'd work as bait for luring in the succubus and get an equal share of the reward, of course.
>>
>>4334156
So you wanna want to be powered by a philsophers stone with a transmutation circle on your body to focus your power like in full metal alchemist?
>>
>>4334182
Basically, and I'm banking on combining a lesser boon from multiple entities can match a greater boon from a single entity for sheer power but lose minimal versatility from each individual sigil. I'd train them to their limit too and mix and match their use to fit the situation and catch my opponents off-guard, though I'd have to be subtle about it because I'm not a Sorcerer. For example if I'm using hellfire to duel a swordsman that reveals he has a fireproof ring, I'd switch over to ice shards while trying to trip them with a sudden slime slick. If I weren't Mathematically Retarded I'd try to get in good with the alchemist's guild and pursue that avenue too, though if primitive guns exist there's nothing preventing me from packing flintlocks too. What is your current long-term plan Shi?
>>
>>4334203
I don't think you'll need a god's power if you have a philosopher's stone, though learning how to make one is another deal entirely.
>>
>>4334203
I'm a standard wizard, so my progression is pretty normal, grow the number of spells I know particularly the powerful ones, get a base, grow my harem/army of demons and monster girls, take over a city. You know normal adventurer stuff. Eventually, I may attract the attention of a god and gain some boons, but I'm not gonna rush into it or anything.
>>
>>4334229
No, I didn't mean a philosopher's stone because that is essentially the lichdom of alchemy and I don't have anywhere near the skill to begin pursuing it, I meant
>circle of forbidden sigils from different entities, who each took a serious but not insurmountable cut
>in the center is symbol of patron deity manually carved then burned into flesh
>channel warlock energies to circle holy symbol while meditating, then release both at the same time
>???
>profit
The magitech cybernetics are just an easy if insanely expensive and difficult/impossible to acquire method of improving my base attributes. Remember that I still have the Creepy cheat that I'll be grinding and intensifying as the aura of wrongness from so many forbidden signs on the same body escalates. I don't know where you got the Philosopher's Stone from, and it'd technically be a ritual circle not a transmutation circle. Of course if this turns out to be impossible I'll just double-down on the Slime Lord while improving my Gladiator skills to become a gimmicky miniboss. I know I don't have to follow a deity but being sure my soul goes to an afterlife overseen by an entity that favours me seems much better than risking it getting dragged into the lowest pits of hell for trying to game the system.


>>4334241
Very reasonable, Strange Aeons should be a huge help with that. I have a faint suspicion your goal with the succubus pact is to improve your sex appeal and start getting back to Harem Protag status. That's fine by me, as long as we can bring back the head and get a reward. Or at least give me access to the succubus corpse, if demons leave one behind in this world, I suspect crushing the bones into powder and using them to supplement chalk in summoning circles could make it easier to call hellish entities. That, or fuck me over in the worst way possible, but that's what the bootleg wards and rusted sword are for.
>>
>>4334251
If the demon can make me look better, that's all the better but I just want a succubus to add to my harem and a foothold into the demonic world. I can cast charm person, using an exceptional stat to cast it, and it's favored spells with a +1RS, so suffice to say I don't need any more charming abilities.

Wade shouts:

"COME ONE! COME ALL! AND WITNESS FEATS OF MARTIAL PROWESS UNSEEN OUTSIDE OF FOREIGN SHORES FOR THE PRICE OF NOTHING AT ALL BECAUSE IT'S FREE!"

「Weapon Skill」He begins by spinning his sword on the side, then he throws it in the air, while it's still spinning, then catches it back with his other hand. He throws the sword higher and higher, and catches the attention of a small public. The spinning causes the sword to float for a few seconds in the air, this is very impressive to watch but easily explained with Newtonian physics. The longest he can make the sword float is 3 seconds!

When he finishes his performance, the crowd applauds modestly and throws a few coins on the floor.

A kid walks up to him and asks if he can do fire breathing tricks.

The writing on the Mass Strife scroll slowly fades away. This is an immutable Law of Magic: when a magical text is observed, it always disappear. The text itself is a volatile memory put on paper through the force of magic.

「Wizard」Shi takes out the Summon Demon scroll, the highest level scroll that he has obtained. Shi understands that the spell creates a portal between his world and the dimension of Hell, through which it is possible to summon demons and other creatures of Hell. But beyond that, the content of the text is absolutely obscure. It refers to goetic and cabalistic concepts which are unknown to Shi. He only vaguely feels that his consciousness is trapped in a mind maze from which he can escape, and that his clarity of mind is slowly escaping him. He enters a mental illusion of his crafting where he turns wheels and tries to undo the constraints of his mind. He gets close to success, but the closer he gets, the more he feels that his mind is burning. The burning becomes intolerable and Shi gives him. He opens his eyes, back in reality. The writing on the Summon Demon scroll is fading away too. Another spell that he has failed to learn.

He gets up from his chair, perfectly calm, and grabs two books from the guild's library.

First Book: "Succgen #67"

The book appears to be the 67th in a series, although all the other volumes are missing. It is hand-written by Anonymous from Earth, clearly an Isekai traveller.

"The Letter Method is considered by most to be the most popular proper ritual for succubus summoning." Shi reads the five-step ritual, which is based off mind energy, emotions, and a candle. The author concludes that he has been trying the ritual for months, but it doesn't work, although he feels that his sexual energy has greatly improved.

The following pages are covered with drawing of anime girls, and what Shi recognizes to be quotes from 4chan. Here are the most interesting quotes that Shi finds.

"You cannot summon succubi like prostitutes. Succubi are attracted to vital energy, not random symbols for non reasons." Now, that seems like more useful information and would explain why The Letter Method was non successful.

"Angry succubi may kill host, induce nightmares, summon shadow jester caste, or erectile dysfunction for prank." That part looks incredibly dangerous would could hinder Shi's future plans greatly.

Second Book: Demon Binding for Beginners

"Demon binding is best done through a contract. Demons are forced to respect all contracts, including verbal agreements. Such contract must be carefully worded, because a demon trapped by a contract will try its best to find loopholes in it and gain the upper hand. Particular forms of disruption magic can be used to emulate the power of a contract. The magic must dominate the demon's will and get them to acknowledge the spellcaster as stronger than them, which is a contract in itself. The relationship as an alpha must be maintained at all time, because there's an implicit agreement to the contract that if the caster shows any sign of weakness, then the initial magic is no longer enough to dominate the demon."

Mark goes to the blacksmith's shop. The blacksmith's fire is powered by an enormous steam machine, which makes clicking and whistling sounds at all time. Behind a force shield, his best creations are exhibited. The most beautiful piece is an ornamented sword with a blade that glows like sword.

「Honkler」Mark recites a clown poem, which boosts his talent as a professional con artist. The poem is good and has a good rhyme, increasing Mark's powers. At first reluctant, the blacksmith accepts to play Follow the Ball. If Mark wins, he will gain a free weapon. If the blacksmith win, he will gain one of Mark's items.

「Con Artist」Mark uses his magic to summon three illusory plastic cups and a small red ball. He places the ball under the middle cup, and begins moving the cups in circles. At first slowly, but then faster and faster, until golden sparkles are created from the speed. In fact, the sparkles are a distraction created by Mark to get his victim's attention off the cups. Suddenly, Mark stops moving.

The blacksmith is very excited and points to the left cup. Mark honks and the cups disappears. The red ball was under the middle cup! Amazing! He has successfully tricked the blacksmith, a man of experience who can craft powerful magic items. The blacksmith laughs. He had fun and he brings Mark free items, as promised.

Elven Chain Mail: This fine armor of elven design offers a good protection and is very light.

Squiddly mediates on the subject of healing miracles.

「Meditation」The miracle of healing is the most important miracle granted to priests by their gods. It allows to alleviate the suffering of others, friends or foes. Common miracles include the powers to heal wounds, regrow limbs and cure diseases. This knowledge is intuitive and Squiddly cannot really put words to it. He just knows that healing others is an innate part of himself, which he can do through faith in his god.

「Druidic Magic」Ayame uses her druidic powers to summon fruits and flowers.

She sits next to the martial juggler and patiently weaves them into crowns. She tries to sell them in the street, but no one is interested. It seems that the people of this technologically advanced towns do not like things of nature too much or are too depressed.

For the same reason, the entire town does not have one tree, other than the one inside of Kek's Adventurer's Guild. Hence, Ayame sets her eyes on a board outside of the guild to practice her knife training. Although her speed of reflex has been tremendously improved with her "Buffed Up" cheat, it does not help much in knife throwing, nor does it alter her general speed to move around. When an old lady walks in front of the board, right in the knife's trajectory, she tries to run in her direction to stop the knife, but she's much, much slower than the flying weapon. Thankfully, the woman is only wounded, as the knife stuck in her left shoulder. Although, it would have been much funnier if she died, but fate has decided otherwise.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, YOU YOUNG DELINQUENT?! YOU ATTACK ME IN FRONT OF THE ADVENTURER'S GUILD, NO LESS!"

She walks in front of Wade and points her finger at him.

"GUARD!!! WILL YOU ARREST THIS YOUNG DELINQUENT, OR WHAT?! DO I HAVE TO REFER TO THE MAYOR ABOUT THIS SITUATION?"

A black cat walks in front of Ayame.

"Shut up, old hag. No one cares about your story," the cat says, with disdain.

"-Nya" he adds, to finish his sentence.

Ayame can understand the cat language! Is it because she has taken a catgirl form?

She walks back to the guild hall, and gets rid of her work uniform.

「Druidic Magic」Once undressed, she walks up to a one-eyed barbarian, armed with a gigantic battle axe. She walks toward him and stops in front of him, raises her hands, and unleashes her powers. Green threads of energy leave her fingertips and enter inside of his nostrils, leaving an odor of freshly cut plants in the air. Of course, that she wears a crown of purple daisies adds to her charm, and the barbarian gets dominated by her magic. He seems to be eager to do anything that she requests, and his face is as red as a tomato.

"M... Miss... You are already beautiful as you are, but I will go shopping for you..."

The barbarian leaves and comes back after half an hour. He's bought everything that she's requested, but did he get the right color for the witch hat?

Seems like a pretty reasonable deity, as far as all-consuming aberrations go. The Slime Lord is driven to consume all things and offers powerful mutations in exchange for obedience; an offering of food that's easily melted, an oath to dissolve a portion of the treasure I find, and to accept its sigil on my chest in exchange for a limited ability to generate, communicate with, and control slimes could go over well.

She walked away from the barbarian in a strut of pride. This new power is MUCH better than pickpocketing. The witch hat was the correct color, but the arm warmers weren't. She didn't really care and believes that she needs more practice. She forgot the scarf tho and thought asking for a cute dress was pushing it. Wade told her that being in a place like this in a bra and panties combo is a bad idea to say the least so she put back on her shitty 7Eleven uniform which was a red shirt and khaki pants she made into shorts with the combat knife to show of the black thigh high socks.

She made a mental to give Wade the potions foe saving her ass then walked to the library to read up on Druidic Magic hoping she can become a monster girl.

>"Is this enchanted Mr. Smith?" Mark asks.

"It is not. It is made of mithril, and conceived specially to be light, yet strong, for specifically for thief adventurers such as yourself."

>"How about this one?" (while trying out the shield)

"This one is a normal shield, although I have forged it myself, so you will find that it is good quality and solid."

>"Do you know how to enchant items?"
"No, I do not. Enchanting items is more the work of magicians than a blacksmith's."

>"Do you have anything that can help with aim?"
The blacksmith brings him magically enchanted arrows. "Those magical arrows would certainly help to improve your aim. Would you be interested in buying them?"

Unfortunately, the arrows are much more expensive than Mark could afford. He bids the blacksmith goodbye and walks to a tailor shops down the street, where he finds an adventurer's outfit that catches his eyes. That is exactly how you'd expect a medieval thief to dress. It seems that a lot of the shop in the street know how to cater to the Adventurer's Guild needs.

Finally, an easy spell! Shi studies the Scroll of Protection from Evil, and easily understands and learns it. He carefully copies it inside of spellbook, and the writing disappears from the scroll.

He goes back downstairs to the pink-haired maid and asks about a demonologist.

"There's in the Lower Quarter the warlock and demonologist Egéphiar. Certainly, he should know how to bind a demon, as it is his profession. He has the reputation of being dangerous, however. He likes to enslave or kill the people who annoy him. The guild can't really do anything against him, as slavery is legal in this region."

She gives Shi the direction to go to Egéphiar's house.

Wade speaks very formally, like a soldier, and asks the old lady to come with him. He puts his hand on her good shoulder, to help her to walk. Unexpectedly, she hits him with her walking cane.

"CHIKAN!" she screams.

A female warrior, dressed in a steel bikini and holding a three meter long sword, comes out of the guild at this moment. She throws a disguted glance at Wade, before walking away. He is truly a creep! Who would think of groping an old lady! It is discovered that Wade the Puritan is, in fact, the vilest sort of pervert!

Wade runs inside and tries to find Ms. Miyashita, the priestess. He explains that there's an injured lady outside. She answers:

"I'm a High Priestess, not a common doctor. For this type of low-level task, you can ask the slave."

Abigail, priestess of Aphrodite, follows Wade outside, but the old lady has already left, perhaps because she feared being molested further. Wade goes to the board and take the combat knife. Abigail looks around to make sure that Shi is not behind her, and speaks:

"Please, take me away from Shi. I'll clean your clothes and cook your meals. But I don't want to go back to him. He's a cruel, petty man. I don't understand this crazy world and I can't survive on my own. I'm just a normal girl. I'm scared. Please... save me."

She cries.

Squiddly witnesses the old woman being abused by the others.

“Calm down miss, it was clearly an accident. Now, if you stay still for a bit I’ll get you patched up, alright?”

Squiddly joins his palms together and recite a prayer, while focusing on the image of Pepe the Frog in his mind.

"Keku-sama, I call on your benevolent darkness to heal this wounded soul."

「Heal」Dozens of small, ethereal frogs leave from his palm and leap onto the wounded shoulder of the woman. All damage is healed, even her skin. The crowd is wowed and applauds. So, that is the legendary power of the priests... Amazing.

Squiddly then walks to the blacksmith. He shows his energy bars and the crovel. The man seems very excited. He rubs the plastic, seemingly impressed with the material.

"What sort of fabric is this? It exceptionally smooth and covered with perfectly drawn letters. I have never seen such perfection, this is absolutely amazing!"

The blacksmith offers to trade a full plate armor and a large steel shield for the energy bars and the crovel.

>>4335213
Ayame, taking fashion advices from Wade, puts back on her work outfit. She walks upstairs to the study room where Shi is studying his spells, and researches the subject of druidry. The barbarian follows her from a distance and guards the entrance. Assuredly, that raises a few eyebrows, as it was unseen before that a barbarian enters this room.

Book: Druids and their Traditions - Shapeshifting Chapter

Many people describe Shapeshifting as a power inherent to the the nature of the druid, yet it is our belief that Shapeshifting is in fact an art. For indeed, one cannot shapeshift into a creature that is unknown to them. Thus, it is obvious that Shapeshifting has an element of determination, if not creativity.

(The author rants more about his opinions on whether Shapeshifting is an art of a power.)

A specificity of nature is the concept of monster girl -- a kawaii creature born from a monstrous race. Many philosophers have speculated on whether they occur naturally or if they are the fruit of a wizard's effort. In the case of the druidess, certainly, it is a deliberate effort. A druidess who is particularly kawaii in her appearance and behavior will often unconsciously turn into a monster girl when trying to take the form of a monstrous creature. It is also possible to make it a conscious effort, then improving the odds of success.

Yeah but first we’d need some way to keep the succubus still long enough to nail her down.
Blessed salt/water may come in handy
>>
>>4336345
>>4336329
Why do you want to nail the succubus down? I'm going to force it into a contract with magic after holding it with my tentacles and having the caster try and magical bind it with their spells. I don't see why you would need nails or holy water.

「Cursed Sage」Squiddly utters the word "Destruction", and a small rock in front of him immediately disintegrates. Wow!

Mark requested nails, and Squiddly hurries back to the blacksmith, eager to help with the request.

“Hey man sorry to waste your time again but my friend needs four big iron nails. Like, very big, not the kind you put planks together with. In exchange, I have this thing you use to punch people.”

「Random Event / PC Negative」When the blacksmith sees Squiddly, he gets angry.

"I've opened the food bar and tasted it! It was absolutely disgusting! I don't want any more of your objects! I will not ask for the armor back, a deal is a deal, but don't ever come back here!"

Squiddly
>Takes -1 RS general damage
>+full plate armor, +large steel shield

>>4335703
「Minor Illusion」Mark uses his holy clown magic to create illusory holes in the fabric of the clothes. The tailor takes a close look at it and twirls him moustache nervously.

"1 silver?! ATROCIOUS! Dont you see that hole in the back and here and here and here? What the hell there is even a rip here in the seams!"

"I'm really sorry, good customer. This is really the first time it has happened! I can't apologize enough! I don't know how it's possible! Yes, I can sell you this outfit for only 3 copper, or perhaps would you prefer that I fix it back? It would only take me half an hour."

Mark goes to the library to search for a specific type of sucker to con. What he needs is a lonely, chatty mage with specific knowledge about demons. That should be easy to find, right?

「Random Event / NPC Action」There, he is. A rotund man wearing a mage hat, studying attentively the pictures in the "Succgen #67" book. Mark recites a poem >>4336344 to inquire about the type of refrain that would be effective against demonic creatures.

"And WHY would you ask me that? Are you perchance a demon?"

His small, weasel eyes examine Mark closely.

"Mhph! There's no way an imp like you could get in the guild, right?"

He laughs.

"Oh yes, salt will make you melt. DEFINITELY."

The man takes out a small leather pouch and throws salt in Mark's eyes from it.

"How's that?"

Wade holds up his palm in what he hopes is a calming gesture. Abigail jumps on him and wraps her arms around him. She has stopped crying.

"Please save me soon. Since I've seen you in the mage's strange, fucked-up castle, I've known that you are a reliable man."

Thotery has no hold on Wade, though. He asks the question he's been doing to have answered.

"Can you tell me if it's true that Aphrodite is in fact another name for Ishtar?"

"Huh..." she pulls back from him, looking at him with a blank expression.

"I will try to meditate on this subject, I'm not very good with this kind of stuff."

She closes her eyes, joins her palms, and speaks to Aphrodite out loud.

"Aphrodite! Goddess of Love! It is I, Abigail, your priestess, speaking! Please tell me, for this good man here, if Ishtar means anything to you?"

Abigail remains for a few seconds.

"I feel that yes... I can't explain but... I vibrate to this name. Do you know what I mean? Aphrodite is Ishtar, yes."

Yes, the noble Grecian Pantheon, of Indo-European origins, had been tainted by influences from their Semitic neighbors. It is now divinely confirmed, and that is definitely scary.

Shi appears behind them. He says to Abigail:

"You're coming to with me. I'm going to show you what it's like to live in the slums. Mabey then you'll understand my charity."

"I.... I have never doubted your generosity, m.... m'lord. We were only talking about my goddess... P... Please, Wade, tell him."

「Shapeshifting」Ayame's purple fur becomes shorter and thicker. She grows gentle, translucid wings and an extra pair of inflated arms with three-finger hands, and flexible antannae on her forehead. Her pupils grow bigger until her entire eye is black colored. The torches illuminating the room now look strangely attractive to her, as part of her new moth instinct. She might look cute, but some people would find this appearance repulsive, depending on their personal aversion to insects. With her experiment successful, she tries to transform back into a catgirl, but she's unable too. She feels exhausted on an energetic level; her power of transformation is limited.

The barbarian sees her and charges toward her, screaming. His hairy, muscular torso is covered with sweat; evidently, he's feeling very nervous.

"EOOOOOORGH!!!"

He doesn't recognize that it's the Chosen One because she has transformed, or he wouldn't dare attack. He only sees a monster in the study room of the guild. He swings his axe at her, trying to chop her head off.

「Buffed Up」Ayame's reflexes are extraordinarily fast and she just rolls her head under the blade. It feels to her like time is slowing down when she's getting attacked.

Ayame jumps through the window, her descent slowed down by her wings, and lands gracefully on the pavement. [This action can be cancelled if you want, this is for following Shi.]

Shi walks to the Lower Quarter, followed by Abigail, Ayame, and Wade. The Lower Quarter is a place of nightmare. The floor is covered with a dark, sticky liquid; the air is permanently polluted by a toxic fog of poison, blown by the wind from the factories. There are many mendicants sitting in the street, visibly suffering from some disease. Some have a wrinkled, yellow-green skin; others have open sores everywhere on their face and limbs. When seeing the adventurers, they shake their begging cups, hoping to get a few coins so that they can perhaps afford a glass of clean water.

They walk through the poison until they reach a dark manor, protected by a living wall of rotten flesh. This is as described by the pink-haired maid. The front door is open, and the party enters through it. The hallway is decorated with human and flesh artifacts; on the side, slaves covered with distasteful piercings and tattoos are holding lanterns in their hand. The adventurers walk through them and to a richly decorated living room, with expensive paintings and precious cushions. The demonologist is there. He's an ugly man, with strong facial features, a perfectly groomed goatee, and wearing a red suit and bowtie. He's concentrated, playing a game of chess against an old man.

He accepts to speak to answer any question, but on the condition that Shi's team beats him at a game of riddle. The rules are as follow:

GAME OF RIDDLE
>1) Each participant can ask the demonologist a riddle.
>2) The participant's riddle must be well-conceived and logical; nonsensical riddles will be rejected. If both parties cannot agree on whether the riddle is well-conceived or not, the old man will serve as judge.
>3) If the demonologist cannot solve the riddle, he will answer one question from the participant, any question, to the best of his knowledge.
>4) However, if he can solve the riddle, he will ask a counter riddle.
>5) If the participant can answer the demonologist's riddle, then he can ask one question to the demonologist, as above.
>6) If the participant cannot answer the demonologist's riddle, he will immediately be enslaved by the demonologist.

Afterward, the party is to leave the house immediately, because he's busy playing an important game of chess.

The demonologist summons a magical contract and a quill that will bind them to the game. If signed, the participants will be bound by the rules and magically forced to wear a slave collar that puts them under control of the demonologist (as seen in the anime "Rise of the Shield Hero").

It'd be a shit situation if we rolled badly and there was no way the demonologist couldn't know the answer, but the riddle was esoteric enough that you'd have to ask us to give it to you and fuck ourselves over. I'm sure there aren't any of us that wouldn't but it's still a bad situation.

>>4336727
I came up with this on the fly and in retrospect, think it's about lower mid-tier as far as riddles go. There are a couple of hints that really narrow it down. I like to think of riddles as a kind of puzzle-joke, when you really get down to it.

I should clarify, I don't have any particular question, me asking if he wants to trade sigils is independent of the riddle game. For my question, I'll ask whether chess is a local or exotic game to the city's culture, as I'm from a distant land and curious about who the game's biggest players are. As a demonologist, he should respond better to ambiguous subtext than directly asking about the identities of the major demonologists, sorcerers, and occult power-players in the city. I'm also interested in seeing the old man's reaction and how deep the Isekai goes.

Mark asks to the rotund man a song against demons.

"Very well. Listen careful, because I will only sing it once. This is a complex, holy invocation which is said to offer protection against demons. It calls the name of Kami-sama, so do not use it lightly!"

The man casts a magical spell on himself, so that he can sing well, in a professional tenor voice.

Hatsune Miku - Kyrie Eleison
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eszEJ7nRWXc

After this short encounter, Mark meets Squiddly in the street, who had been looking for him. Squiddly makes the very disappointing announcement that he failed to complete his errand.

「Wisdom」Squiddly meditates on the subject of spells against demons. He intuitively understands that yes, holy magic is more effective against them than normal spells. And it is only logical, because holy and demonic are two opposed forces. The fate of all things demonic is to ultimately get destroyed by holiness.

The Marksman then travels to the Lower Ward, where he finds a tavern near the entrance. The people inside are all poor, many wearing rags, or not even having shoes, yet they also seem friendly. They just seem to be mostly good people who have been screwed over by an unjust system. The tavern smells of beer, freshly baked bread, and soup. Mark, his fave covered by his hood, does not attract unwanted attention.

Wade recites his riddle.

>I utter word with no tongue and sense a clamor without ear's drum,
>I lay still and silent beneath open skies, yet burst into motion behind closed doors.
>I am what I am, but you tell me.
>What am I?

The demonologist thinks for a moment before he responds.

"An echo. A good riddle, alas I had already heard many variants of it. I suspect you have come here to learn about my art, so take it as a lesson in demonology. The highest power in the world is intellect. The second greatest power is knowledge. With both, even demons must bend to your will. You see, I have heard thousands of riddles. It would take a succulently eldritch mind to defeat me."

He takes a finely crafted crystal glass of wine, and takes a sip.

"It is now my turn to ask you a riddle:
The highest tower ever made
Although high, it has no shade
What is it?"

>While you're pondering, do you think you'd care to discuss infernal sigilism?
"I don't think so, no."

>>4336779
Shi recites his riddle, of which the answer is his own name, "Shi Taberu Hito".

Obviously, the demonologist is unable to answer. When Shi explains what "Shi Taberu Hito" means, he bumps his fist on the table.

"Pathetic! This is a nonsensical riddle and I reject it! First of all, you do not haunt my dreams, and secondly, the answer could be any evil creature! You have broken the second rule of the contract!"

The old man nods. The riddle has been rejected, and Shi's contract, which was floating in the air, disintegrates.

>>4336908
Ayame recites her riddle.

>You have me today, tomorrow [...]

"Memories," the demonologist answers, before she can even finish her first line. "This is a good riddle. I find it amusing because it contains words such as time and space which are themselves often the subject of riddles. But it is also a riddle which I know by memory. Now, you have called me a mediocre faggot, so I will give you a particularly difficult riddle. And then, I will have you today, and tomorrow, and the day after, as my own personal slave. That is, if I don't choose to kill you first."

The demonologist recites his riddle.

"It doesn't haunt;
The pathetic dog!
The second of his five,
I eat it every day!
What is it?"

The demonologist takes a ring out of his pocket.

"You see, this is the time where the odds are that you might attack me if you realize that you're going to lose. So, I have this as a precaution."

He takes another sip of wine and puts the ring on his finger.

Any good riddle gives you bits of information to figure out a whole, sometimes they may be confusing, but there is a truth that can be found in it. If one didn't know what an echo was or it's properties they wouldn't have been able to figure out wade's riddle, it's the same with mine I just picked something obscure.

My point wasn't disproven, I beat the demonologist fair and square.

I doubt it's very rare she's a D rank nothing special. She's just a heal bitch I won in a tournament.

>>4337028
I have to hand it to you, that was a very nice riddle and I'm about 80% sure my own answer was false but it's the only one I could muster. I'm looking forward to seeing what the answer is. This demonologist seems pragmatic, might be able to get freedom through the completion of a task but there's never any guarantee with this kind of thing.

>>4337038
The answer to riddles are supposed to be objective, a lycanthrope might say the answer is a vampire and be right, because it's a subjective riddle, looking at it outside of an individual perspective, there's no right or wrong answer. This is great though, I tell no lie when I say you'd be a god-tier Xianxia protagonist.

Yeah I know but this demonologist has a major edge on us power-wise and he's pissed off, so if I make him think she's more valuable than she is, he might try and claim the priestess instead of calling in a favor with a pit fiend.
>>
>>4337073
The demonologist seems weak to me, all he has are slaves, he should have a few actual demons waiting on him. I think I could take him, with my skillset and rank. If he doesn't give me the knowledge or one of you gets's enslaved I'll kill him and take his shit.
>>
>>4337054
Not trying to white-knight or cuck for your sake, this a demonologist skilled enough to openly keep their independence in a slaver-run city with an adventurer's guild that makes an entire industry out of slaying people like him. This guy's cunning enough to cheat entities dozens of times older than him out of their power, and do it repeatedly, the fucker probably brokers souls. Do you have any idea what the consequences of fucking him over could be? Getting subject to a lifetime of menial labour or instantly condemned to oblivion for a minor power-up is the least of our worries, and you're an explicitly powerful sorcerer while I'm just a mundane gladiator with a weak spooky aura, you should be more paranoid.
>>
>>4337088
The only reason the guild doesn't bust down his door is, because slavery is legal. They work within the law they aren't gonna try and kill a law-abiding citizen. He's not even known for being powerful just "dangerous". A homeless man with a shiv is dangerous. I recognize he may be powerful, but I doubt he's some top-level player just because he does a bit of demonmacy. I have confidence in my abilities and I came here for a set purpose, I'm not going to return empty-handed.
>>
>>4337079
If he were smart he'd have a demon cloaked from obvious view and/or a fiend patrolling the city-block, and he has nothing to prove when normal slaves are just as effective as an expensive succubus or imp would be for the same benefit. I think the old man playing chess is the most dangerous person in the room, I'd bet my left nut he's involved with the shadier side of the alchemist or merchant's guild. A slaver's guildsman wouldn't want anything to do with him because he's known for catching his own slaves and doing it for personal reasons, not profit, which is what they're after. I think you're taking this guy too lightly is all, but I appreciate the offer to help break me out if/when the answer turns out false, bailing while you can would be a better idea. My safety aside, the last thing I want to do is be center of a bullshit side-quest when the succubus kidnapping and whoring people out needs to be caught, I should be able to haggle or connive a way out on my own when ultimately, I willingly, knowingly walked into it on my own. If not, that's my own fuck-up and I'll own up to it, though not without trying to see if a *complete* pact with the Slime Lord can't override the magical collar's obligation. As a last resort, of course. They do seem to be a bro, though, maybe making a heavier commitment later on instead of nickel and diming like a little bitch afraid of consequences isn't a bad idea.

>>4337113
Yes, slavery is legal but it's run by a guild, this guy's operating outside of guilt constraints and the only reason he hasn't been clamped down on by the slaver's guild for busting their monopoly is that he's either powerful or influential enough for that to be infeasible without the slaver's guild losing more resources than it would gain. That's concerning to me because we're essentially an upper-mid tier adventuring party with no serious contacts or rank-appropriate equipment, so pissing off the slaver's guild could be a bad idea. About the Slime Lord, I'm not trying to be melodramatic about the shit, they seem to have a pretty reasonable deal compared to most dark powers that would be prone to signing a pact.

It's perhaps not the ideal patron, but still top-tier as far as eldritch horrors go. An akashic librarian analogue or mother-of-monsters type could be neat as well, because almost every anime has at least one of those. Wouldn't be opposed to signing off if the benefits were good but I'd like to figure out what other niche deities are willing to take souls for devotion and power in what amounts to a shortcut to the rightly despised middle-ground between Sorcerer and Priest.


>>4337152
No, that's part of the contract if we lose the riddle game. If we win he answers one of our questions, but some people are insulting him so he's getting pissed and making it harder.

>>4337169
And take his eyes off the chessboard for a couple of power-hungry edgelords that blew in from the adventurer's guild? This is tuesday for him. Could be an evil-aligned rogue or monk too, or a neutral one that enjoys the game and doesn't have anything to do with the guilds. Fuck, for all we know HE is a demon negotiating a deal through the game of chess and this is just a pleasant diversion.
>>
>>4337186
I'll agree to disagree, we don't have enough information on this guy and all your making is baseless assumptions. He seems weak to me and until proven otherwise I'm going to seeing him as such. If you guys wanna be left behind that's all the merrier, but I need this spell and I'm willing to risk my life to get it.
>>
>>4337186
Elemental entities are also nice, swearing to a minor primordial elemental of something obscure like smoke or slag, or a subset of a more major element like ice or steam, though I suppose smoke and slag both fall under that criteria. Really, there's endless possibilities here and I'm liking the idea the more I mention it, though from a logical standpoint, it is a bad idea. Really is a shame there aren't any arenas in the city.

>>4337206
I just think it's best to err on the side of caution, we don't know if we're handling a parlour trickster or thoth-amon with a chessboard and there's no way to be sure until after we've gotten a reaction out of them. Bluffing is a serious part of high-end demonology in most fantasy settings that deal with that, we can't assume this one's any different, and we can't trust him to be completely as he appears.
>>
>>4337226
>swearing to a minor primordial elemental of something obscure like smoke or slag, or a subset of a more major element like ice or steam could be cool
Really just an easy way of improving how much put back to the party and stand up to high-flying anime +S-Tier adventurers at a relatively minor immediate risk for the sake of ruinous long-term implications. There's no need to and normally I wouldn't go ahead with it as the gladitorial skillset is already nice as hell as is, but both of the blessings I have are on an imminent time-limit and if there's a time to do it, now's the best opportunity I'm likely to ever have.

I wanted to get some information on demonology in the setting so I can start working toward a Warlock class, I readily admit I shit the bed and I'll lie in it, but I don't know what reason Ayame had to take the risk and then try to bail on a MAGIC CONTRACT by shapeshifting into a different form. I figure there's decent odds some of my knowledge of occultism is transferable to the setting, in which case I'd know some things that he doesn't, which gives me some limited leeway because he seeks knowledge and should know better than anyone how much damage imprecise, or almost-perfect sigilism or incantations can be. *Researching* this was a sporadic hobby of mine that I pursued with frenzied intensity a year back, the kabylion, goetia, etc. It's retarded all-around and I really should've abstained from signing the contract but the allure of esoteric lore beckoned.
>>
>>4337394
About a year and a half back, I mean. There's a dense volume of literature several centuries in the writing, some of it contradictory, most of it obscure for very good reason. A lot deeper than /x/ and more than most would-be diabolists/sorcerers would've had access to, even if the interest was solely academic, it was an obsession and seems logical to pin that at High. As I said some four times earlier though, Wisdom is one thing I lack. Religious texts too, the catholic version of the Bible, the Sutras, the Vedas, even Ron L Hubbard's writings.

Why did you ask for knowledge of top players in the city? That would he pretty common knowledge and you could easily get some shmuck at the guild to tell you. This demonolgist might know a bit more, but is it really worth being sold into slavery? I would kinda get the sigil thing if you asked about somthing power like a philsophers stone or an intricate web of sigil that inmate a warlocks powers. But you throw it as an off hand comment and didn't even ask anything that specific.
>>
>>4337278
We are not singing the sing yet.
>>
>>4337426
I'll be straight with you, I wanted to swap riddles and see if we could trade knowledge on sigils while cloaking a controversial question in a double-bluff so he'd realise I had a more solid handle on the double-meanings that are rife in that shit than most adventurers that try to contact him, someone worth having as a contact. The actual information was secondary to the impression but after it was no-sold, I figure asking for knowledge of the most even-tempered and farsighted pact-binding entity he's aware of's sigil would be a better question because sigils like that are generally extremely valuable to those who're aware of them. I know *how* to make a summoning circle given the requisite materials, set up wards, make an attempt at invoking an entity, I'm not aware of any sigils relevant to this world and that's my biggest limiting factor, because as is, any summoning attempt would be random, which could be catastrophic. Trying to play 4D chess when I can't see the other side of the board, was bound to end poorly in hindsight. Cat's still not out of the bag yet, not 100% certain how this'll turn out but I guess I'll be learning some more one way or another. Again I stress, I'm a brainlet that got myself into this situation, and I can work to get myself out, the rest of you should try and grind the adventurer's guild while I try to glean what I can because anime-tropes dictate that since I'm an Isekai-victim and not a qt 3.14 elf or some shit, an opportunity for escape is likely to arise eventually. That aside, a mind-controlled assistant that knows what he's doing is a solid asset for a demonologist because they're prone to hoarding secrets and those who have some understanding are generally too paranoid to fall for a trick that basic, and this is just the command-type enslavement, not the personality override sort so I'll probably be able to retain my memories. And of course, there's the bonuses I can break out to try and negotiate if the riddle game goes south.

Mark speaks to the tavern keeper.

>I've heard girls here in lower quarter have been missing
The keeper gets very emotional.

"Yes. The neighborhood has always been unsafe, but it's been worse, lately. My own daughter, Clarisse, has been missing for several days! I fear for the worse. She's such a gentle, innocent girl. I wish I could have raised her in a better country. Are you here to investigate? Have you been sent by the Adventurer's Guild? Be careful who you talk to, if you don't want to end up with a sliced throat."

>How much is the room for the night?
"You can sleep in the common room's hay for 1 copper."

(Mark wanted to rehearse his song with Squiddly, but Squiddly is not there, he's at the Adventurer's Guild.)

>>4337170
Squiddly re-enters the guild hall and walks to the assistant's desk.

>my party "leader" is a dick
"That's not a good thing to speak about your party leader like that! If you knew how difficult it is to lead, you would not speak like that! Your leader is probably very worried about everyone's safety!"

"Shi Taberu Hito is obviously an elven name. In their language, Shi Taberu Hito, meaning the Death Eater in the common language, is made of five runes: 死食べる人. Thus, the second of his five runes is the second rune: 食. This is the elven rune for the word shoku, food in the elven language. Of course, this riddle required understanding Shi's name, which few people would, so that is why I called the riddle particularly difficult."

>I eat it every day!

>What is it?
"The answer was FOOD, not DREAMS!"

「Charm Person」Shi's magical threads leave his fingertips and reach the orifices of his slave. A now familiar sensation violates her mental space. She's euphoric and willing to do her best to please her master, unlike in normal times where she wishes for his slow, painful death.

Shi says "Start chocking yourself you stupid bitch and don't stop until you pass out."

Abigail answers "I want to please you and do things for you, but I don't want to get hurt. I don't even think it's possible for someone to choke themselves."

Charm Person: "An affected creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders"

His opponent laughs.

"I have to say, you almost had me there. You must not be very good if your slave refuses to follow such a simple command. Now, I will show you how it's done."

"ZAELHYA!" he calls with an impossibly powerful voice.

An incredibly beautiful, purple-haired woman appears in the room, in a puff of smoke. She has little horns, bat wings, and a beautiful, most innocent face. She's eating sweets, which she holds from the tip of her fingers.

"Our guest here claims that haunting people's dream is his specific skillset."

He points to Wade.

"Why don't you show him how wrong he is?"

The woman moves toward Wade, moving her hips sensually. She moves her hand above his eyes and whispers seductively in his ear:

"Fall asleep, don't resist... I will show you pleasures no mortal has ever dreamed off... You will become a king among men... You are mine!"

Nothing happens. As Wade has explained previously, he's immune to such thottery. The demonologist clears his throat.

"Anyway. I reject your claims, on the basis that the contract was broken. We are not magically bound to anything to each other, and I'm not obligated to answer your question. However, I'm not a cruel man, so I propose a new game to you."

THE HUNT
>1) The participant has three days to kill Solana, mistress of the local Kek's Adventurer's Guild.
>2) For each supplementary member of the guild killed, he will earned "good boy points".
>3) The two new slaves will be allowed to help him in the game, but they must return to the demonologist's mansion each day before dusk. If they don't return, the slave collar with kill them.
>4) If the participant succeeds, he will earn either a) freedom for one of the two slaves; b) an answer to any question, that the demonologist will answer to the best of his knowledge.

The demonologist summons a magical contract and a quill that will bind them to the game. If signed, the participant will be bound by the rules. If he loses, he will be magically forced to wear a slave collar that puts him under control of the demonologist.

I say to the demonolgist "I would accept this contract, but I have two conditions. First I want you to give me a description of the target and their skillset if possible. Second I want disguises for me, Abigail, and your new slaves over there Wade and Anyame so we won't be hunted by the guild when this over."

>I sign the paper no matter if he accepts my conditions.

>If he didn't give me a disguise I cast disguise self on me and Abigail. I then try and shadow step with Abigail in hand towards the guild. If she can't shadow step with me, I just walk.

>I then shadow step towards the guild and ask the green haired girl where I can meet Solana.

It purely depends if the gods are born of mans belive or the soul of man is made by the same stuff gods are.

"I have understated you haven't I." She said to him in a fake frighted tone. "I didn't think you would be able to summon more than a scarp demon, but even though she failed to catch Wade-kun, I don't have any doubt that she could catch stronger men with weaker sexual willpower. You see my friend is married and also a total catch for most women so he has practice. You see I feel life force energy and I know how to turn off this power and did so because my friends are so strong. When Wade was in danger I turned it back on to see what monster I was facing and man I'm still scared."

*bites even harder*

She pretends to quake in fear.

"I see now you are even stronger than all of my team, much more worthy than my cowardly guild so I ask.." She bows. "How may I serve you? I have experience in cleaning and cooking. I can also recruit more help for you as well. What should I address you as? Also get me new clothes please."

「Honkler」(As pictured:) Mark exhales his bad breath on the tavern keeper, and makes him faint.

There are mendicants and prostitutes everywhere in the Lower Ward, and at least one brothel in every street. In front of the tavern is the "Treasure Chest" brothel where the prostitutes wear special jewellry on the breast.

>OP the mage taught the circle of protection right?
Actually, he didn't. He only taught you the song.

>Honkler: Mark gains a +2 protection bonus against charm and seduction, for 2 rounds.

>>4338057
>Trust me, had you met him you’d have the same opinion of him. I know that leading is difficult and stressing but that is no excuse to his behaviors towards anything and everyone both inside and outside of his party

"How shameful! If he's as bad as you say then you should kill him. Bad-mouthing your leader won't accomplish anything but make you look like a resentful loser! The resentment is dark energy, it's going to eat you alive and make your flesh rot. You are on the path of transforming into a shill or a demon and I'm not condoning it!"

Squiddly leaves, so as not to damage his reputation further. He wants to look for Mark, but he has no idea where the clown went. He walks the street aimlessly, looking for injured or sick people to perform healing miracles on them.

Down the street, he finds two persons fighting, he doesn't why. One is a brown bear, the other is a dwarf with a black beard. The bear is clearly winning the fight, and he's kicking the dwarf who's lying on the floor and cursing in the Scottish language. The wee man's face looks all bloody and he probably has one or two broken bone from the beating the bear gave him. When the bear is done beating his enemy, he calls him a faggot and leaves. The bear is part of the beastman race, they are known to be violent. How can such a cute, fluffy creature be so violent, that is unknown.

>>4338211
Wade-kun speaks.

>I've been able to achieve lucidity in the realm of sleep for almost six years
The demonologist claps his hands again.


"How fascinating! I would love to hear about your most interesting lucid travel and also, tell me, what are your current dream objectives? I'm not disappointed."

Ayame reveals that she, too, is a psychonaut. Well, that is not surprising there are so many refined people in a high level adventuring party. The demonologist asks her the same question.

>Are you partial to cobbler?
"Cobbler? Absolutely not. I'm a gourmet and I despise Western food. I will only eat the best dishes from the Shuji Empire."
>>
>>4338854

Zaelhia intervenes.

"I love everything sweet, I'd love to taste your cobbler. If it's as good as you are handsome then I can't wait for it. I have to admit that I've got the hots for you since you resisted me. I despise man-sluts and weak faggots but you are neither. Follow me, Wade-kun."

She shows him the kitchen. There's everything for him to work with: various tools, knives, pans and a steam-powered oven. The succubus says that she will summon all the ingredients that he needs but preferably the cobbler would have one quarter of each type: peach, apple, orange and plum. There are also two maids who can assist him in his tasks.

Wade

>You see I feel life force energy and I know how to turn off this power and did so because my friends are so strong. When Wade was in danger I turned it back on to see what monster I was facing and man I'm still scared.
"I have no doubt that you are powerful. It's pretty obvious that you are all foreign adventurers or mercenaries. I would not make the mistake of underestimating you. I did take it as an opportunity for you to accomplish a few essential missions for me. This is a risk that I'm taking."

>How may I serve you? I have experience in cleaning and cooking. I can also recruit more help for you as well
"Hmm... " His eyes look down while he's thinking. "That would be fantastic if you could recruit an undead army for me. You see, one can never fully trust living slaves. But with an undead army, I would become much more powerful. Of course, it's not easy, so regular living recruits would be good."

>What should I address you as?
"You can address me as Master Egéphiar."

>Also get me new clothes please.
"What clothes do you want? I do not have a standard uniform for my slaves. That would be unoriginal and boring. I can summon any sort of clothes for you with my magic; the most important is that you feel comfortable while doing the recruitment work."

>>4338122
>I would accept this contract, but I have two conditions
"Your conditions are reasonable and I accept them. I see that you are a thoughtful man. It looks like you will easily beat this little game.

Solana is a priestess of the god Hermes. She's a great adventurer who has travelled around the world and beaten many quests and dungeons. She has a reputation of being incredibly lucky and she always wins. For all of this reasons, it's also incredibly bad for business to have her lead the Adventurer's Guild. You can't do anything even remotely 'evil' (he air-quotes) without her sending adventurers to interrupt your plans. That is remarkably out of character for Visea, which is a corrupt and polluted town in the middle of a little 'idyllic' empire. I'm hoping that her second-in-hand takes the lead of the guild, because he's on my payroll. The adventurers can keep going on their little quests for all I care, but at least they won't intefere with my business anymore."
>>
>>4338854

The demonologist shouts "DISGUISE OTHER".

Shi becomes all malleable. His body changes form, stretching a cheek here, a limb there, until he takes his final form. He now looks like a rich merchant from the desert empires, with white silk clothes and curly shoes. In terms of facial appearance, he looks the same as usual, but fatter and with a thick beard and eyebrows.

「Random Event / PC Negative」Abigail requests to stay in the mansion to assist Wade-kun with cooking. The demonologist accepts.

「Shadow Step」Shi tries to cast the spell Shadow Step to travel through the shadows and reach his destination faster. He tears up the fabric of reality until a dimensional tunnel opens through the Plane of Shadow. A shadow mastiff jumps out of it, with shadow poison dripping out of its mouth, with the opening behind him closing down.

The succubus reacts quickly to the threat. She takes out her whip and slashes the beast, which disintegrates into nothingness. The demonologist claps his hand.

"Well done, Zaelhya. I can always count on your efficiency."

Shi the merchant walks back to the guild. Due to his rich attires, he attracts a lot of unwanted attention from the mendicants, but he ignores them. He goes to the green-haired maid's counter and asks where he can meet Solana. She answers that Solana lives at the top floor of the guild. If he has matters of regional or national importance, he can make an appointment with her. But if he just wants to submit a quest, he can submit it to the maid, he doesn't need to meet the guild leader for that. She seems a bit standoffish, she probably doesn't like merchants.

Shi
>Edgelord bonus: Shi has been very edgy in dialogue and accumulated a lot of power. He gains a +2 RS bonus to the next spell that he casts. The bonus disappears after 3 turns if unused.
>>
>>4338860
Shadow Step isn't a spell it's an ability part of the edge lord cheat.


Edgelord: You can teleport behind your foes, summon dual desert eagles/uzis at your discretion, and drain life force to regenerate or fuel your attacks when you cut someone. You can also cut yourself and reabsorb it at an equal ratio. Forbidden sorcery comes twice as easily and malign entities see you as their equivalent and take you seriously, for good or ill. This comes at the cost of a gravelly voice, deep dislike of daylight, and the permanent fixation to wear a trenchcoat and dark-tinted sunglasses, which you can summon at will. If your dialogue is sufficiently edgy, you may receive a bonus to any given roll.

Forbidden sorcery is magic so vile all sorcerers have agree to not research or teach it because it is blasphemous to all life. For that part I will not speak about it because it is taboo and secret. Lovecraftian spells also fall in the category of forbidden sorcery. Unspeakable Oath is an example, pic.

Can you give me some examples of weak entities from the Lovecraftian mythos?

>>4338251
True, power by belief is an extremely common trope in Isekai settings, not to mention modern fantasy in general. I'm not frustrated with the outcome of the riddle by any means, I just think it's hysterical to imagine there was probably a similar argument about how the riddle alluded to something artificial as opposed to natural, but I realize if it was created by a deity, it would by definition be natural, yet made, ergo sunlight is the most obvious response. An unfortunate lapse on my end but it could be worse. He could've insisted on the piercings/ritual scarification that's common with these but hasn't, I suspect he's restraining the depths of what he has in store for if Shi's assassination attempt isn't successful because he can't be sure that he won't ask for one of us back. I have a handful of convoluted plans for how I might be able to escape, not all of them mutually exclusive, and one's already underway.

>>4338375
On my end it's because I noticed the succubus has a sweet tooth and that's something I can exploit. Beside the fact that it's hilarious that a succubus was no-sold by a random C-Tier adventurer, these sorts of seductresses aren't used to being told no, and that means she only wants me more. Those are two pieces of leverage I can use, and while I knew she'd be interested in the cobbler, asking the succubus directly would make it seem she getting through to me and encourage her to relax and rely on her magic, but by asking the demonologist, I set him at ease and gave a signal for the succubus to expose herself in the one area where I have an undisputed advantage: The preparation of deserts. It's unfortunate that I couldn't get a chance to hide the knife but that's only part of a single plan and I have decent odds at finding an opportunity to slip behind a corner somewhere. Of course, if I'm caught by magic surveillance, that only confirms that I'm as paranoid as a forbidden loreseeker should be and improve his attitude of my competence, raising the odds of him insisting on my assistance significantly, which will go exponentially when I feed his ego by claiming I don't think a novice'd be much help to an experienced summoner, simultaneously lowering the threat level he perceives me as being, which grants me a host of opportunities. Or if the knife goes unfound, I can follow another plan if the current one seems untenable, or leave it if not. This is all according to keikaku.

It occured to me that it's probably spooky as fuck for inquisitors to hear about a sudden ghoul infestation. One on hand, there's a 99.9% chance it's regular necromancers, vampires, and cannibals fucking around and can be left to less specialized professionals, but on the other, there's a 0.1% chance the physical reality of everyone and everything in a hundred leagues is in grave danger if it's allowed to grow. The problem is it's almost impossible for the average person to tell the difference between the two until it's too late.

>>4339076
>>4339091
Forbidden magic is cool as fuck, the Shadow of the Demon Lord table system is chock-full of great examples, including one that more or less destroys an entire region in the most terrifying ways possible and either lifts the caster's soul straight to !not!heaven or the lowest pits of !not!hell depending on whether they can justify their use of the spell to a divine cour, when they finish attempting to cast the spell, no save, it's a foregone conclusion that they're a dead man walking once the week-long, continuous rite starts to pass their lips. I forget what it's called since it's been months since I read the book but the gist of it was kind of an eldritch spin on the biblical plagues of egypt, which was cool.

Cultural Hierarchy in the Isekai

This hierarchy is based on my understanding of Kek and 4chan, which are both inseparable from each other.

The Japanese culture is considered supreme in the Isekai lands. The reason is that 4chan is a Japanese imageboard. The common tongue is English, as in 4chan, and only the most educated people can read Japanese kanji. East Asians are also considered the most beautiful human race and gain secret bonuses to social skills when they travel to European nations such as the Empire of Tyria. They are the only race to benefit from secret bonuses.

At the other end of the racial hierarchy is the Jewish race. This is based on Le Happy Merchant meme. Their Babylonian magic and commerce have proven to be too destructive, and they are fiercely hunted down by Kek's Adventurer's Guild. Jews are considered a tier 1 menace, the same as demons. Ther are possibly a hybrid race of demons and humans.

The racial distribution is as follow:
1) The Eastern continent has an Asian majority
2) The Western continent has an European majority
3) The Northern continent is a mix of Asian and European
4) The Southern continent has a Semitic majority

The Southern continent obviously is a continent of nightmare. Kek only ever teleport cucks and whores over there. Surviving the Southern continent is their last chance for character growth, but more often than not, they get castrated or die.

At the lowest of all are the NPCs, as in the NPC meme. They simply cannot reincarnate in the Isekai, even if they were members of 4chan. The reason is that NPCs have no soul, thus cannot reincarnate.

「Heal」Squiddly tries to heal the injured dwarf, but his magic only creates a small sparkle of dark energy and fizzles.

At first, Squiddly feels that he's suffering from bad luck >>4339002, but then he gets the feeling that his god, Kek, does not approve of healing the dwarf. He doesn't understand why, though.

> Please, would you mind telling me why you were fighting a fucking beastfolk
"The bear attacked me fur mah faith!"

He shows his golden pendant, which represents the face of an ominous goat on an inversed pentagram.

「Knowledge (Occultism)」The young priest recognizes that this is a Baphomet pendant.Baphomet is a symbol used in occult traditions as a general symbol of evil.

"A'm a jeweler 'n' a honest worshipper o' Mammon. Bit this doesn't gang weel wi' some fowk. Th' non dwarf fowk hate us fur na reason, 'tis a pain in th' bahookie tae be a travelling merchant, sometimes. Dinnae git me wrong, a'm not saying that a' humans ur bad. Th' bear threw me some coins 'n' said: 'that's fur ye, faggot'. Obviously, an allusion tae Mammon, th' god o' dosh. That didnae bore weel wi' me, 'n' ah attacked him."

Squiddly inspect the dwarf. Other than the golden pendant, it's obvious that he's a wealthy person, perhaps someone important, even. The clothes he wears are fine, and he's perfectly groomed, like a noble.

「Minor Illusion」Mark uses his clown magic to cast the illusion of a rising pink smoke, indicating his position to all friends and foes in a one to two kilometer radius.

He then enters the whorehouse "Treasure Chest". The place is filthy and decorated with fake treasure chests, with gold made of wood painted in yellow. The stench of body odor and fluids is unbearable. He applies for a job position, but the matron politely rejects him, despite his many talents, because they only recruit women and have no need for a male entertainer.

>>4339589
「Greater Invisibility」Shi-kun goes back to street, and turns invisible.

「Shadow Step (Edgelord)」As he intents to attack the guild leader, all of the guild members have now been defined as his foes. Therefore, Shi can use the technique he dubbed "Shadow Step" and reach very quickly the top floor of the guild in only one second. On his path, he saw Emiya on her chair in the study room, she has fainted because he kissed her and she still hasn't recovered her senses.

Shi ends his teleportation path before the guild master's doors. It is closed and he can't teleport futher because he can't see and he doesn't even know if there's someone behind.

>Greater Invisibility: The invisibility lasts for one minute; doesn't wear off if he does anything, including speaking or attacking others. 59 seconds remaining.

Wade speaks to to warlock:

>My current objective is to solidify my grasp of subconscious imagery, I'm able to induce change easily, making it stick is the problem.
"This is an interesting one, certainly. You see, the Plane of Dream is highly morphic, it cannot remain in a stabilized state except in rare nexus of stability created by the gathering of many dreamers at the same spot. Your best bet is to pull imagery from the collective subconscious and share someone else's dream telepathically, so that you can stabilize the manifestation together."

Ayame says:

>Master Egephiar! You are so so wonderful!
Egéphiar gloats. "I know, I know. Thanks for reminding me."

He summons paper and markers so that the druidess can draw the outfit she requires for her work. Egéphiar grabs the paper. "That looks like a standard outfit, I will try my best to summon it."

A witch hat with a ribbon, a haute couture gothic dress, thigh high socks with diamond cut-outs, a strapless bra, a purple zombie scarf, witch platform boots and a bag appear before her in a pile.

>Where can find the dead people? I can make Solana and the guild members slaves too.
"What!!! You could do that?"

He loses his calm demeanor.

"If you enslaved Solana, I would not only release your collar, but also reward you greatly. You see, Solana and I have a long history. I want her to die, but if she could be my slave, that would be even better. Long story short, she has crushed me as a person and sent me on a long road of insanity and self-destruction.

As for dead people, you can mass murder people or find fresh bodies at the morgue or the cemetary."

>By the way, you said to me we were all powerful people. Do we all have random powers that we don't about know about? How do you find out?
"I don't know anything specific about you other than you have a very powerful aura."

>Can Wade-kun be like that? He's a pretty situational guy? Thank you anyways
"I got the impression that Wade-kun is powerful, too. Why are you asking, is he your weakest party member? He can resist a succubus naturally, I've never seen that happen without protection charms. He also gives the impression of being a 4D chess player, and to be quite honest, I would fear him if I wasn't playing on a 5D level.

Now, I will go on a business trip for a few days, if you have other needs you can ask Barbatos, here. I will grant him limited admin access to your slave collar. You can drink the rest of the wine, if you want."

Barbatos, the old man who was playing chess against him, bows and thanks him.

Wade begins his delicare cooking mission. Zaelhya shows him where he can find a teaspoon, measure cup and bowls in the kitchen, and she summons bags of sugar and flour, as required. Zaelhya can't help much more, because she's too busy ogling him, whereas Abigail is just sitting in a corner and napping. She used Wade as an excuse to ditch Shi, but she has no plan to do any work.

(Wade hasn't had enough time yet to finish the cobbler.)

Did you try checking the Shadow of the Demon Lord general on /tg/? They have a link to the trove there.

>>4339724
I should clarify the whole rod and reel thing, I don't know what it is or why it happens, but when I sign on to start working somewhere or start meeting the friends of my friends, eight times out of ten, by the end of the month there'll be someone trying to get in my pants. I'm not proud of that and don't know what it is they see that's worth chasing, but I don't care any more about women than I do men if I'm not trying to get into a long-term relationship and getting /r9k/ is my last intention but something about that seems to drive about one in eight women crazy, like they need to prove something. I don't ever tell that I'm looking for a relationship and then string them along like a faggot, I just leave it up in the air whether or not I am until they drop the passive-aggressive hints to ask me, then I tell them outright. Something about the unspoken ambiguity is deeply satisfying to me and the longest I've kept it up is two and a half months. I'm not remotely "chad" or some kind of casanova and not bragging about it, it's pretty shameful and rarely happens more than four or five times a year, I just wanted to clarify the vague wording there.

This is about as meme-tier as a setting can get, but the sheer openness is interesting. I feel sorry for William, he truly had what it took to be a Hero.

>>4340339
FUCK NO. When I'm lucid dreaming, everything changes when I'm not focused on it, which makes constructing broader narratives difficult. Nothing to do with Tulpa, that's a bad idea and effects everyone involved so badly I would consider it low end forbidden sorcery. My current goal is to get my dreams stable and achieve lucidity three days a week. I don't know if that's possible but it feels like I'm making an improvement.

>>4340341
It's extremely unfortunate that it's gotten so popular recently, I've heard more bad ends or regrets than actual successes and even then, a constant hallucination can't be healthy. I can see why someone would do that though and I don't judge, I just wouldn't recommend it.
>>
>>4340566
>I would consider it low end forbidden sorcery.
you guys should have seen /tul/ when it still existed. And it's not getting popular, the discord is under 2000 people
>>
>>4340587
I spent a week skimming through the desuarchives back when I was curious about tulpamancy and what I saw was enough to convince me to stay away. It's about as popular as wiccanism in my town, there was a brief fad of half a dozen people but as far as I know nothing serious ever came of it. That's pretty huge compared to most esoteric shit but it's completely anecdotal and not remotely representative of any broader trend.
>>
>>4340566
>I'm not proud of that and don't know what it is they see that's worth chasing
If it can't be explained then it can only be explained with an /x/ theory.

If a lot of women behave like succubi, it's because they are. There are a lot of empty people, and they can be piloted by demons.
>>
>>4340566
It's not that hard of a concept. People and women, in general, want what they can't have. If you beg for her pussy your not going to get it because you showing yourself to be below her. If you ignore her initial advances and signs she’ll see you as a prize something she would have to work for, showing your value. Younger women also tend to be more desperate, because if they can’t get a man they want at their prime, what does that say about their future when they hit the wall.
>>
>>4340669
I think they were trying to get me to validate their insecurity or get their boyfriend jealous, or got obsessed when I demonstrated I didn't see them in a sexual light or anything to prioritize getting involved with over what I was already trying to do there. It's not that I'm a great option for the dating scene, I think it's that I wasn't, and some people can't handle the idea that it's not aggressively off-limits, but just doesn't see a reason to care. It's a complicated feel and I don't think the phenomenon's due to any lack of consciousness or demonic possession, just mundane thottery and a subtle refusal to participate. I'm not trying to moralfag or grandstand, but casual sex just feels like a perversion of the intimacy that making love should be, to me. The temptation to indulge outside of a long-term relationship is there but there's no appeal.

>>4340706
Those are my thoughts on it. There's probably a metric fuckton of /fit/ anons that have the same issue and the dynamic is too intuitive for me to assume I'm the only one that's in a similar situation. It's bizarre because it's an inversion of the usual gender assumption, men pursuing a woman that isn't interested, and I don't want to get /pol/, but I think that's symptomatic of the skewed society we're in. Maybe it's just the cobbler though.
>>
>>4340723
There's a good reason for that, sex is supposed to be sacred the more partners you have the more your marital happiness decreases, and the more your chance of divorce increases.

"ARISE!" She posed waiting for the hobo to awaken.
The hobo zombie woke from his brief stint in death. He saw a baby faced angel.
"THANK U MASTA!" Screamed the zombie.
"Who r u?!"
Ayame smiled. "I am Ayame the Kawaii Reaper! Master of Life and Death! I was trained by the greatest of shinigami the multi verse fucking has or will ever have! I murdered over 444,444 souls in my short life! You will call me Master Ayame. I want to practice my magic powers here and get some loot! You were robbed right?" He nods. She heals him and gives him a strength and speed boost. "I want you to get a job for me cause I want money. Get out of here, steal nice clothes for your self.." She creates a wooden bucket with lemon juice. "..steal a soap bar, wash yourself in private and find a simple job. Act normal. Report here at sundown."

She turned to the hobos! "Hello fags! The Kawaii Reaper as stepped on the scene! Thunder Cloud!" A roaring gray cloud appeared and lightening sprang. It was a murder party! It's an improvement over the sad state that they where in before at least! (she isn't the starving type)
After the first storm Ayame made a happy normal cloud that turned into a shockie cloud after frying hobos turned into a normal cloud again.
Ayame went to the corpse pile to loot them hoping to find cash. (say none if this an action) None of their knifes were good so she summoned a sharp wooden katana and chopped a hobo's head off. (if she failed she tries a bat..)
BOOM! A pink fog cloud came into view in town. It must be a fun event. She will go over later. She wants to find that cat too!

After walking back to the guild, Ayame walks in to eavesdrop on adventurers to see if any will go to the forest. Seems like a few are. There's this chad and stacy gang that she wants dead anyway that she's going to keep her eye on.
>"Even in this world normies only talk about sportsball and talumudvision. The are even drinking coffee from the guild's Starbucks!"

Some friendly advice you post actions and the QM responds you don't write what happens, you can say what you do if something happens. Like if I was getting mugged by a thug, I would say "I pop a cap in his knee cap and then say "Beg you life maggot."" I wouldn't say "I pop a cap in his knee cap and then the thug begs for his life." You can initiate an action to get a response you want, but what happens is decided by the dice and the QM.

Thanks.

Rank is based on power level, my power level will increase when I kill guild members since I can ask the demonologist to teach me a spell for every one I kill. I'm not planning on destroying the guild or anything. I'm just going to kill a few D ranks for spells.

I'm aware of the statistics and I think monogamy's healthier in the long-run but I don't have a superiority complex about it, least of all in Isekai land where big tiddy monstergirls and thirsty elves are thicker than ticks in riverside reeds.

>cobbler
>cake
Blasphemy. Also a means to an end, a horny succubus could potentially have many more answers they're willing to give than the demonologist if I ask the right questions. If this goes well I'll ease into sigils like I'm asking for phone numbers. By mentioning the Slime Lord, an entity defined by its slimy form and endless consumption like he's all that but not committing a firm opinion, I've left an opening to humble brag about how another specific entity's superior or get smug and talk about how they're inferior to X entity, furthering my knowledge while making it seem like I'm not curious about anything but whether the Slime Lord's a solid, heh, employer. There's an additional gap if she wants to seem smart and fill me on the cults she's aware of, as she's likely convinced her magical temptation won't get her far. Lots of shit but I came up with it on the fly and I do that sometimes IRL, when I want to know someone's opinion on something controversial without getting them frustrated by mentioning it and making them think I have a potentially opposing opinion, while making them feel smart for informing me 'unprompted.'

>trips = checked
Do I need to roll again for the cobbler? Keeping the average restaurant worker and how many hundreds of days I've spent fucking around innawoods, I'd say I have an Above Average skill in Cooking but it's hyperspecialized to (Campfire) Cooking, instead of Cooking at large, which could impact the difficulty, though I've made so many of these it might be closer to Shi casting Charm Person through an unfamiliar technique than anything. Sorry I keep dropping walls of text by the way, now that I think of it that's probably annoying to read through to find the actions themselves.
>>
>>4341037
I enjoy reading the filler in you actions it's interesting to see your perspective on things and what your plans are with your actions.
>>
>>4341037
Keeping that in mind, I mean. If the demonologist's going on a business trip that gives me a narrow opportunity to slip watch, find a suitably-empty closet, nab some chalk/candles from the marketplace (preferably paid for), and attempt a summoning to negotiate for malign, unnatural powers. As is I'm the weakest member of the group because I'm the only one without supernatural powers, just a passive boost from lowering my reputation that hasn't come into play yet.

>Do I need to roll again for the cobbler?
No, you only need to roll once per turn.

>Sorry I keep dropping walls of text by the way
Actually the more you type the better. It's possible that I miss an action sometimes but if I do then you can retype it for the next turn.

「Muffle」Shi utters a word of power in the noble Japanese language. The word turns into a whisper of dark voices and echoes toward Solana's office doors, which become silenced.

Shi tries to push the doors open, but he's unable to because they're locked by a complex system of interlinked wheels. As soon as he touches the door handle, a small trumpet comes out of the top of the door and tries to sound an alert, but it is muffled. That didn't go as planned! It was impossible that Shi could predict a sound trap, yet he did.

「Knowledge (Magic)」The spell Detect Lifeforce is not accessible to sorcerers because divination magic is restricted to priests.

Shi
>Edgelord bonus used

>>4340780
「Detect Evil」Squiddly joins palms and prays to Kek to develop the ability to see evil auras. He opens his eyes and see several people surrounded by a sort of dark shadow, which he understands to be an evil aura. The shadow around the merchant is very strong, especially in the area of the root chakra where his genitals are located.

Kek's command is clear, this merchant is to be killed. Squiddly pulls out his Earthian hammer from his backpack, and begins beating the dwarf on the head. This is indescribably satisfying. At first, the dwarf tries to protect himself with his arms, but then he gives in. His little body begins jolting frenetically, which means that he's probably dying from brain failure.

「Holy Ray」A scorching ray comes from between the clouds and reaches the dwarf, slowly setting him to fire. He doesn't move anymore but he's burning in the street. Squiddly feels the gentle warm of his god as he's watching the darkening flesh.

It is clear that Squiddly's dice are blessed and not cursed. Indeed, few people can cast two successful spells in a row. Passerbys don't stop. The city is dangerous and it's as common to see people being executed in the open.

Squiddly
>Inspirational Bonus: For killing the dwarf beautifully, he gains a +1 RS bonus to his first action next turn

Ayame goes outside the mansion. There are a lot of hobos outside in the street where Mr. Egéphiar lives. There's a hobo who has green-colored hair, a rare color that doesn't even exist on our Earth. She wishes he was handsome, but all the hobos are sickly-looking and disgusting, his face looks like a skeleton face that has been eaten by rats!

「Raise Zombie」"ARISE!" she says, trying to raise the hobo as a zombie. But nothing happens. The magic has failed. Mr. Egéphiar asked her to raise zombies, but he doesn't even knpw what class she is or if she's capable of raising zombies. ...Is she? This is a mystery for now.Then, she looks at he four hands (she still has the moth girl form so she has more hands than humans). They are all blackened and rotten, as if she was an old rotten, zombie corpse herself. It seems that the spell has failed and now it has eaten her lifeforce.

>>4340897
She turns to the other hobos.

"Hello fags! The Kawaii Reaper as stepped on the scene! Thunder Cloud!"

「Thunder Cloud」That spell fails too. There's a happy, normal cloud in the sky, but it hasn't been altered by her magic.

>>4340913
Some time later, she goes to the Morgue, which is located in the Lower Quarter too. Two guards are standing at their entrance; they are armed with spears and wear bone armors.

「Charm Person」Green tendrils of energy leave her fingertips and enter inside of their nostrils. Immediately, they fall under her charms and are willing to obey her every orders.

The Morgue is a dark cold place that looks like a catacomb, sparsely illuminated with torches. It's strictly forbidden for civilians to enter. She looks around, searching for corpses, and finds a pile of them lying in a room.

「Raise Zombie」The first spell fails.

「Raise Zombie」The second spell fails.

「Raise Zombie」The third spell fails.

「Raise Zombie」The fourth spell fails.

「Raise Zombie」She raises a zombie from the corpse of an elven girl. The elf is slender and beautiful, her hair is green with some brown, like tree leaves, and she has red circle tattoos on her cheeks. She gives her the name "Sakaala".

"Arise!"

Sakaala arises and speaks her first words as an undead.

"Brrrrrraain...."

Beyond that, Sakaala is not able to speak because she's only a dumb zombie. Zombie brains are not very functional, that is why they are always hungry to eat more. She's also too dumb to wear a robe herself. But she is able to acknowledge Ayame as her master.

>>4340943
「Heal, Speed」She tries to heal and buff the zombie, but the spell fails. She's beginning to feel a bit fatigued from using so much magical power.

>>4340943
She returns to the demonologist's mansion, followed by her zombie. She has to slow down because the zombie can't keep up with her pace. On top of being dumb, zombies are also very low energy.

Ayame

>How's that work with demons and humans anyway?
She shakes her head a little bit.

"Erm... I have no idea."

>Cambions, demonspawn, half-breeds I mean. Are those much of a thing here?
"Oh, you're asking if we would make cute babies together? I... I don't know. I've never thought about this type of stuff..."

>Mhm, how's it on the other side, down in hell?
"Hell is a boring place. Everyone is struggling for power. I have more fun on this plane. My dream is to have a romantic walk on the beach and enjoy the sun and the fresh wind."

She doesn't seem to like to speak too much about herself, or at least, her time in Hell. So she gives short answers to Wade.

>Speaking of, I heard the Slime Lord wasn't a half-bad employer for a sack of jello. Any truth to that?
"I'm not acquainted with the Slime Lord. But slimes are lame monsters, I can't see how a sack of jello would make a good employer! Where have you heard about him?"

Wade takes the fruit cake out of the oven. The crust looks perfect, it has a beautiful, golden brown. He is certain that it's another success.

(I'm going leave soon, thanks)

"Did it." Ayame said silently. Yes of course she did it, but this is too surreal even for her. She got up and jumped feeling elated. "Thank you Kami-sama."

"Brains!" said the elf zombie.

"Ohhh. You're retarded. Can you put this rope on?" The zombie stared at the new master. "It's fine. I will help you. I got a mask and clogs too."

Ayame likes daydream a lot. Way to much. She believes she can do shit she can't. Even in anime land she embarrasses herself. And her arms look scary. At the very least she's got a zombie. She thank her Kami-sama again and went off to the demonologist's mansion. Today was mostly great, she won't fall apart for trying something new. But she will practice on the hobos soon. She needs energy.

She walked up to Barbatos. "Master Barbatos. I did it! This is Sakaala-chan!" She bows. "I'm sorry that didn't get more. I'm new to necromancy and I even messed up my arms. Please heal them. Also I don't know if Master Egephiar wants me to get only girls."

After whatever happened, I took notice that Wade, the succ, Abs and the maids were going to eat!

"Wait for meeeeeee!" and I ran."Sakaala-chan stay with Master Barbatos!"

After siting at the table I spoke up! "I rose the dead today! Sakaala-chan is the green-brown haired elf girl in the next room and probably naked so watch out. Master Egephiar gave be a job and wants me to give more slaves. Wade what are you planing? May I help?

I run back down stairs while shadow stepping behind anyone in my way and exit the guild building. After my invisibility wears off I reenter and go to the green haired girl. I say to her "I'd like to hire some D ranks to escort me through the lower quarter." I have the D ranks escort me somwhere close by to the demonolgist house.

After dying, although he does not remember it, Sir Bacon appears in the Temple of Kek (as described in the Introduction). He spins the wheel, which stops on the image of a little heart.

Kek raises his paw and a flow of pink energy enters Sir Bacon's body. "You are now an empath. When you want to cast a spell, all you have to do is to think about the target and the desired emotion."

He pauses and concentrates.

"Well, you have the emotional type of thought, which is pretty rare. The last person I've made an empath couldn't use the emotional mode of thoughts." He chuckles. "So, he couldn't use his class at all. It was like he had no class. He began complaining, which pissed me off, so I changed his class to Cry Baby. Oh, was it funny."

Empath (class): You are an empath who masters the energy of emotions. You can feel other people's surface emotions and manipulate them magically.

Anonymous (cheat): You are impossible to remember when you’ve left someone’s sight, you can’t be recorded in any way, and you leave no evidence of your existence. This doesn’t apply to other Isekai victims. In addition, you can still post on 4chan, but trying to prove you’ve been Isekai’d will get you laughed at.

Squiddly searches the dwarven merchant's body for loot, but he doesn't find anything of value. It seems that everything has melted down from the fire, except the symbol of Mammon, which is still half intact.

「Cursed Sage」Squiddly disintegrates the evil symbol into nothingness.

He now feels very tired and weakened from all this action. A man protected by a shiny golden armor and holding a gigantic sword on his back approaches. People walk away from him path; he must be very important.

"Greetings! I am Édouard de Lomatelet, paladin of Freya, registered Imperial Knight, and C-ranked Adventurer. It seems that you have been witness to a possibly unlawful murder. I'm going to ask to see your papers and an explanation of what happened here."

Wade speaks to Zaelhya.

>Say, can you shapeshift into a human form?
"Of course, I can. Is that what you want me to look like, Wade-kun?"

In her human form, she surprisingly looks the exactly same, except her demonic traits, such as the horn and the wings, are gone.

"I feel so vulnerable like this."

>I think between the two of us we could make for one hell of an Upper Quarter street performance
"But... this is so vulgar. There's no way I would participate, I'm a demon princess, not a street performer..."

Wade invites everyone to take their share of cobbler. Abigail wakes up and brings her hand toward the dish... only to have three of her fingers cut off by the succubus' whip. The whip is so fast that it cuts like a blade. Zaelhya's eyes have turned bright red, the black energy can be seen around her.

"NANDAYO?! WHO SAID YOU COULD EAT FROM MY DISH, SLAVE?"

The fingers fall to the floor and Abigail is bleeding everywhere. The succubus calms down and tries a bite of the freshly-baked cobbler, in the apple part.

"Oishii! Wade-kun! This is delicious! I'm so happy! I hope you will make me another one soon!"

Ayame asks Master Barbatos to heal the zombie. He laughs in a manner that sounds cruel.

"I'm not a healer."

Ayame walks to the kitchen, leaving the zombie behind. She speaks to the succubus, and Wade is listening closely.

>Zaelhya-san, hello. Do you watch anime? Do you even have tv in Hell?
She shakes her head and pouts at the same time.

"Succu-No. I don't know what either anime or TV is. A-ni-me, what an adorable word. Will you explain to me? I love to learn everything about human culture. It's so fascinating and innocent."

>I'm sorry! I talk too much.
The succubus looks distressed.


"Noooo. talk to me. I'm so lonely, and everyone hates me."

Ayame walks to the open-air market. There are a lot of people and goods all around. She hopes to find Shi on her way, but she doesn't know where he is. The merchants offer 1 gold, 5 copper and 2 iron for her items.

(Tell me if you accept the deal below.)

Mark asks where the matron bought the slaves. She seems cautious to answer, but something in Mark makes her trust him.

"i have bought all of my slaves from Mr. Assoros. They are all girls from foreign nations, who speak the common tongue and have no diseases. Why are you asking? Are you interested in buying one of them? You don't need to go visit him, I can sell you one of my slaves. KAYLIN, COME HERE!"

A golden-haired elven woman comes to her. She looks down and seems very shy. She is topless and wears a lot of jewelry, like all the other slave girls in the brothel.

"She is a pure-blooded elf from the Elven Nation, captured by orcs when she travelled a bit too far to the south. The orcs have raped her and sold her to the slave traders of the desert. She's been too far damaged to be a functional prostitute but she can be useful in many ways. She can sing beautifully like only the elves can, surely, she's a catch."

As the name of orcs is mentioned, Kaylin falls on the floor unconscious. The matron kicks her.

"Wake up, you stupid bitch! How am I going to get rid of you if you act like that!"

Mark travels to the Noble Quarter, in search of a temple. The Noble Quarter is located in the north-east and is the opposite of the Lower Quarter in terms of environment. Entrance is restricted, but with his Adventurer's Guild ID, Mark is allowed to enter. The streets are charming, decorated with plants. Here and there, there's a garden of roses or a pond, at the corner of streets, a talented entertainer plays the accordion, the violin or the barrel organ. Everyone is dressed perfectly: the men in full suits with top hats; the women with elegant Victorian dresses.

The largest building is the Temple of Hermes, a traditional temple with a chimney that emits a purifying pink smoke to cancel the smells of the factories and lower quarters. The lower class people are said to be animals and smell like beasts, the nobles will always spray a lot of perfume around them. The entrance is protected by too heavily armed knights. Mark enters and he finds that it's crowded. The worshippers are all nobles or at least upper middle class. The priest is busy reciting texts of mythology to the crowd, so Mark cannot speak to him, for now.

Shi concentrates on the subject of summoning shoggoth. His hippocampus gets reshaped by the energies of Strange Aeons, developing a small tumor which contains information about shoggoth.

「Summon Shoggoth」You must lead a black mass in total darkness, attended by your disciples or co-cultists, including at least one eldrith monster. During the black mass, you must pour the blood of at least a hundred and fifty fresh human corpses in the dirt or ocean, and trace a complex thaumaturgical circle on the floor. (The ritual is difficult to enunciate, but it is part of Strange Aeons that you can.) The shoggoth will be bound to your will for one full day. Further dark rituals and sacrifices of fifteen corpses will be required to keep it under your control for longer. The shoggoth hates servitude and will constantly plot rebellion against you. Further knowledge about the general subject requires a successful roll of Forbidden Lore.

The tumor disappears and the brain cells return to their normal human shape, causing no visible brain damage.

「Edgelord」Shi shadow steps back to the entrance, and walks to the green-haired guild maid.

>I'd like to hire some D ranks to escort me
"We can't order guild members to follow you, even if they are lower rank. You have to invite them to your party yourself."

Well, that's inconvenient, the Adventurer's Guild does not seem very authoritarian.

I suppose the dice spoke.
Squiddly is the same as the previous campaign,
He has rare information about demons that he can sell to the demonologist in exchange for the freedom of some players
(Jane Doe transformation)
and if Shi's insistence to summon demons continues he can remember that the party already had contact with two, Jane and the frog
They can probably be reliable sources of information that you could exploit with some clever deals with the demon enthusiast.
Squiddly already contacted demons in the past and now with his "cursed sage" he can avoid the same bullshit.
I have unused content for both. I will update the pastebin.

also I forgot about inventory, so lemme correct that

"This is...weird. At least I'll have a better way to sense people's emotions. I, uh, had some issues with that when I was alive."
I check my jean pockets to see if anything came with me to this mysterious realm. All I have is my smartphone in one pocket, a pack of mint gum, and...a katana? Oh, that's my polypropylene practice sword that I bought off a friend to mess around with. Why is it here? I didn't have it when I died...I think. Maybe fate thought I should have a weapon, though this "sword" doesn't and can't even have an edge. Better than fighting bare-handed, I guess, though maybe my new magic will be more useful than a blunt practice sword.
I thank Kek and walk outside, wherever that may be. Knowing isekai, I'm probably in some sorta pseudo-medieval fantasy world, but of what kind I can only guess until I see it.

"So I have the power of Anonymity...that could be a blessing and a curse. But I have an idea!" I take out my phone and make a thread on /tg/.

Isekai Density

The Isekai has a lower density than our Earth, meaning that it is a bit closer to the dream world than we are. This has three main consequences:

1) Physical pain is only half of that in our planet. That is, everything hurts twice less.
2) Visible, tangible magic is possible. This is witnessed in the phenomenon of classes and cheats.
3) The environment is slightly less coherent and logical.

New Quest on the Board

>"The Mage-Thief" (A-rank quest, gold reward only)
The guild member and wizard Shi Taberu Hito has robbed seven scrolls from the Kek Store of the local guild. He is the be captured and brought back to the guild. (This comes with a recent photo of Shi.)

Mark listens to the sermon of the High Priest.

"I have received a divine dream directly from Hermes-sama. I am thus the highest authority in this church. Hermes-sama is not pleased. He is the protector of all merchants, but the merchants have not protected his holy church. How shameful can you be?"

He raises his hands in the sky, as if speaking to Hermes directly.

"Hermes-sama, please do not punish your unfaithful children. I am sure they will acknowledge their mistake and make up for it. I beg you, Hermes-sama! Give them another chance!"

It seems that he's just trying to raise funds for church repairs. When he's done with his sermon, Mark walks to him.

>Your Holiness, I would like to seek your audience.
The priest answers with a denigrating tone.

"What is this commoner trash doing here, and why is it talking to me? Guards!!!"

The guards come, and each grab one of Mark's arms.

"Kick this vile thing out of this holy sanctuary, and don't let it back."

"Hai!" the guards answer.

BROTHEL
>The elven slave costs 7 silver

Squiddly turns towards the paladin, and he explains his story.

"DETECT EVIL!" the paladin shouts. He takes the gauntlet on his right hand off, and offers to shake Squiddly's hand.

"I see that you are a most righteous man, it is a pleasure to meet you, and I thank you on behalf of the Imperial Knights for your efforts in keeping this city clean. Your intent is limpid in your aura, it is an honor to make your acquaintance."

He puts his gauntlet back on.

"Now, that bearman inspires me no trust. I will try to track him down and interrogate him on this matter. I do not have too much trust in their beastmen, their beastly instinct is not compatible with civilized society."

The paladin leaves.

>>4342609
Abigail freaks out, but Wade tells her reassuring words.

"Aphrodite, goddess of love, I, your priestess, invoke your name for your healing kindness."

Immediately, her cut-off fingers regrow and the wound is not visible anymore. Zaelhya does not seem very impressed.

>As you just saw firsthand, vulnerability's a part of being human.
"Yawn, I didn't see much of anything."

>Not knowing when your heart could give out or brain vessels burst
"Gross!!! Don't talk about those things out loud, it's disgusting."

>Glad you like the cobbler, help yourself!
"That's what I had planned on doing. I will take this fabulous dessert to my bedroom and enjoy it alone. That was fun but I don't want another incident. Then, I have business to take care of in town. See you later, I hope."

The succubus disappears in a puff of smoke, with the cobbler in her hands.
>>
>>4342893

Wade now speaks to the maid. He asks for the cleaning supplies, and she shows him the closet, which is in the same room. He finds a mop and a bucket, but not the other strange ingredients he was hoping to obtain. Despite this, he cleans the blood from the floor.

"I'm glad you're doing this," Abigail says. "To be honest, I'm not too much into cleaning, and you're pretty good at this anyway. I've been thinking for a long time that I was probably a princess in another life."

(Last dialogue option cancelled because the succubus is gone.)


>>4342444
Sir Bacon is about to leave Kek's temple, but the dark god isn't finished talking.

"I'm not going to leave you alone in the Isekai. I have added you to a guild party lead by Shi, the Death Eater. I will teleport you to him, you can meet up with him, and help him with whatever his current mission is. I'm sure you will all be great friends."

Kek smiles.
Before leaving, Sir Bacon creates a thread on /tg/ about Isekai. (You can check for answers in the next turn.) He walks through Kek's portal, the portal that leads to the Isekai. He barely makes one step... and falls through the sky! He falls in a building with a hole in the ceiling and a giant tree coming out of it. He can't help but scream as he's falling.

"AAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

>>4342382
「Heal」Ayame wants to use her druidic magic to heal her necrotic wound, but the spell fizzles. She really has been very unlucky with magic so far.

>>4342394
>Actually, can a potion of healing heal my death status? Do I need to buy a special potion for statuses?
This you don't know, nor does the merchant.

After having done her shopping, Ayame walks back to the guild hall. She spies on the rookie parties to find a group that would be foolish enough to travel to the forest. One thing about rookies is that they are not very careful about their plans and they speak about it out loud for everyone out loud.

She finds a party made of a 12 year old girl who wears a bear costume and hat and has a twisted wooden staff; a pink-haired boy who looks very friendly although a bit shy; and a huge, bald man who holds a big, spiky mace. They speak about their dreams and plans out loud. Their dream is to make the world a better place and to live wonderful adventurers on the journey. Their current quest is to kill infected bears in the Wood of Pulogne, to the north.

Rookie Party
>Bear costume girl: probably a druid
>Pink-haired boy: he has no weapon, a mage or a druid
>Huge, bald man: a warrior of some sort

Then, she goes upstairs to the study room to memorize the songs that are on her PSP. But, after 30 minutes have passed, she still hasn't memorized one fully.

She goes back downstairs and sees that Shi is also present in the hall.

Shi creates more eldritch tumors in his brain to gain summoning knowledge.

「Summon Ghoul」A ghoul is created by sacrificing a fresh human corpse in a dark, moldy place. The ritual only takes one hour to complete. The ghoul needs to be fed human a dead or living human every day. It is to be noted that ghouls are always hungry for flesh. A ghoul is dismissed by killing it.

「Summon Nightgaunt」A nightgaunt must be summoned in the middle of a moonless night, by sacrificing five fresh human corpses. The ritual takes two hours to complete. This creature is of the demonic type and will be enslaved in the same way as any other demons. This specific knowledge is not known to Shi.

He then speaks to a few people in the guild hall who he thinks are D rankers. He actually has no idea who's a D ranker, so he guesses based on their general appearance. He recruits a necromancer dressed in black and with an eyepatch, a slightly fat man who looks like a peasant, the druid in a bear outfit who's very, very excited to join him, and a woman dressed in an exotic outfit who plays a strange, copper flute.

Suddenly, a brown-haired teenage boy falls from the sky and onto Shi. Shi has no time to avoid him, he falls on the floor and is crushed under his weight. The boy is dressed with jeans and a green hoodie, he must have been isekai'd like them.

(Shi's last actions cancelled)

*BOOOOOOOM*

Sir Bacon lands on a really badass looking man who wears a black trenchcoat and dark-tinted glasses. According to Kek's description, this is his party leader, Shi.

Ayame has watched the entire scene, she stands in front of both of them and says:

"Tap me to talk."

Ow...that hurt. Not as much as expected, though. I pick myself up and dust myself off.

"I assume you're this Shi guy Kek told me about. Name's Sir Bacon, or just Bacon if you want. I'm...not sure what's going on here. Apparently I'm dead, and I assume you are too, and now I have this weird emotion magic."
My hands flicker with a pink aura as I say this, to prove I have said emo magic.
"Apparently I'm supposed to join you. Hope that's not too much of an issue...who are all these guys?"

I check my thread real quick to see if I got any answers, and out of curiosity, tap Ayame on the shoulder. Guess I'm following Shi for now...sure do hope he's not up to anything nefarious.

"Another one?" She posed for Sir Bacon. "I am the graceful rising star Ayame and the man you crushed is the techno wizard James-kun. Welcome to anime land! Bacon-kun." She makes a lotus as a sign of friendship. "Here. And you have emotion magic? That's actually very good. Emotions are a large source of magic power a least that's what I read at home. Magic is different here." She dipped ripped notes from her drawing paper that she wrote with her blood earlier (by nipping her finger with the knife which she bandaged with a vine) and wrapped both notes in cut up khaki pants parts and gives them to Shi and Bacon saying; "Noah wanted me to give this to all the isakai anons."

Seeing that I have no way of knowing that Shi is a wanted man, I simply react in confusion... "Whatever you say, I guess? Maybe I got the wrong name...but I was told I'm supposed to stick with you. At the very least, I could probably help you out once I get a hold of my powers."
If there are any wanted posters around... maybe I notice them. Would that be a roll of some sort? if it is, and if I do, I realize that Shi is a wanted man, but keep my mouth shut and just call him James.
Shi is evil, isn't he? That'll be fun when Bacon realizes what's going on...

Wade tells Abigail:

>Could you do me a favour and ask Aphrodite [about dark gods, forbidden entities, and the Slime Lord]?
"Sure thing. I will find a quiet room to communicate with Her, and then I'll report back."

Abigail's face looks dead. She's exhausted. She leaves and finds a quiet spot where she can hide and rest. She regrets not eating before she left, but she was getting angry with Wade. He keeps giving her tasks, but he hasn't done anything for her.

While (Wade thinks) Abigail is doing her assignment, he leaves the manor and goes to the marketplace to perform a new spectacle. He takes off his grey T-shirt, so as to show off his sculpted body.

"WELCOME, EVERYONE! I AM WADE, THE EXTRAORDINARY GLADIATOR! I WILL SHOW YOU AMAZING SWORD TRICKS WHILE REENACTING BEAUTIFUL STORIES OF OLD!"

He spams the same message until a small crowd gathers around him.

The gladiators of our Earth were sometimes forced to fight in historical reenactments, so that's what Wade does. He chooses the battle of Spartacus against the Romans, where he plays all the roles. The spectacle ends with the crucification of Spartacus, which Wade plays by jumping in the air, stretching his arms, and making his sword spin at supersonic speed so as to make him float for a few seconds. It only takes a little bit of imagination to see him being crucified on a wooden cross.

People don't really understand the story, but the tricks are indeed extraordinary. At the end of the performance, they throw a bunch of iron coins at his feet.

(Last actions cancelled because this action takes hours = probably several turns).

Squiddly tries to find Mark, but he still doesn't know where Mark went. He continues walking in the streets aimlessly.

Mark goes back to the guild hall to speak to the green-haired maid.

"Hello, Mark, welcome back to the guild!" she says cheerfully.

>"Mam, the succubus quest didn't really specify any discerning traits of the target. Does that mean any head of a succubus would do?"

"No! The quest is not about killing random succubi. It's specifically about killing the succubus who's involved in kidnapping and prostitution in the Lower Quarter. Her description is that she's a woman of otherwordly beauty, with dark horns and powerful wings, and of intense cruelty. No more details or traits are known about her."

Mark leaves and tries to find Squiddly in the streets of Visea, but he has no idea where Squiddly wandered off.

(That might be frustrating, but as they are both searching for each other randomly in the streets, it is not easy.)
>>4342992
Sir Bacon checks the thread he's made on /tg/. He got quite a few responses. His thread was assaulted by two autists who argue on whether "isekai" can be used as a verb. They argue over it for 50 posts, making nitpicky arguments back and forth until the thread is derailed and dies. But in the middle of this garbage, three anons make on-topic posts.

Anon #1
>If I was isekai'd, I'd make sure to avoid all danger. Yes, I'd be an overcautious hero. I'm not a D&D character, I'm a person, and I value my life. I would value it even more if I was in an awesome fantasy environment.

Anon #2
>I would study and do everything to develop my magical powers.

Anon #3
>Am I the only one who would use his power to bully and kill random people? That's what being a Chad adventurer is about.

After reading the thread, Sir Bacon follows Lord Shi to a manor in the Lower Quarter.

>>4343220
>If there are any wanted posters around... maybe I notice them.

When leaving, Sir Bacon notices on the quest board that Shi is wanted by the guild. His face on the poster is different though. The Shi on the poster has a handsome face that evokes traits of heroism and intelligence, whereas the Shi that he's seen in flesh and blood is a fatass with a thick beard and eyebrows. There's no mistake, the sunglasses are the same, though. That must be why he calls himself James, and not Shi.

>Shi is evil, isn't he?
Shi is wanted by the guild for theft, but there's no indication that he's evil. Wade and Squiddly have argued that Shi is an archetypical representation of the neutral evil alignment, though.
>>
>>4344080

>>4343229
「Empathic Reading」Sir Bacon tries out his new empath powers by reading the surface thoughts of Shi and Ayame.

Shi
>Shi is in control of his emotions, reading him is not simple. He feels that Shi's dominating emotion is an immeasurable thirst for power. (Player Shi can correct this description or add more if he wants.)

Ayame
>Sir Bacon's head hurts when he's trying to read Ayame. Her emotions are too powerful for a mortal to handle. If he didn't have years of experience as an empath, he would have died already. He feels that Ayame's dominating emotion is excitement. (Player Ayame can correct this description or add more if she wants.)

>>4342904
Errata: I have unforgivably butchered the noble Japanese language. It is "Shinigami Death Curse" not "Shinigani Death Curse".

>>4342966
Shi the merchant pushes the brown-haired boy off him. Not only has he crushed him, but he calls him by his real name, when he's undercover!

Now that he thinks about it, Shi was wearing the outfit of a desert merchant, but the trenchcoat came back on him by itself. It must have been summoned unconsciously.

He makes an appointment to see Solana. He will be allowed to meet with her on thet next day, at 4 PM.

He then leads the band of four D rankers, Ayame and Sir Bacon to the demonogist's house. The door is still unlocked, so they can enter and walk to the living room. The old bearded man is still there, also, a naked elf is standing still in a corner, moving her head like an idiot and drooling. Wade and Abigail are gone.


>>4343188
>>4343541
Errata: I have made a mistake in the previous turn. It should be noted that since Ayame has developed genius grade memory, it was easy for her to memorize her PSP songs.

While following Shi, Ayame finds in the street a tiny white kitten with a black circle around his left eye. He has no friends or family and his name is "Koko". She gives him a little bit of milk and he meows. He's certainly very cute. The little cat gladly accepts her friendship request, but he is so tiny. It's dangerous for him to walk in the street because he might get crushed. It is necessary that she carries him in her arms or in her bag. If he walks by himself, he has 50% chance of dying each turn.

>She thinks The Matrix is real and met Neo
It's a fact that the plot of The Matrix is real.

Ayame tries to use her druidic magic to make weed, but she feels that she has exhausted all of her energy. That is, she's out of mana! There's not one droplet left, regardless of how gracious she might be.

While she does all that, Shi and Bacon are gone. (She can catch up with them if she runs fast.)

I think to myself. "Guess I'm traveling with a wanted man. Thanks, Kek, very cool...well, it's just theft, after all. It's not like he's killed anyone yet. I hope."

As I'm thinking about this, it seems that we've arrived at our destination! ...What the fuck is that naked elf doing? I get the feeling this is an "elf slave, wat do" situation.

Before Shi commits his quadruple homicide >>4344111, I try and read the emotions of the old man and the elf in the corner.

After said murder spree...well, I haven't seen anything like this in my life, and I react with shock and fear. Fear is a powerful emotion, its very existence the basis for survival...my fear manifests itself as a magic forcefield in between me and Shi assuming it can do that, it's up to the QM, but Fear being channeled to protect makes sense imo, as even though he said "Except for you, Bacon" I'm a bit too shocked to really consider that I'm safe right now. I respond to the situation with eloquence...

Assuming this takes place pre-murdering.

"I, uh, have this mint gum? It's no mana potion, but who knows. Maybe the rules of this place will give you something for chewing it."
I give Ayame one stick of gum. My pack has room for 12, so now I have 11 sticks.

I take the piece of paper she gave me and read it...
"Who the heck is the D.L.? And what do you mean by rounding up gay people...?"4

The meaning becomes a bit clearer to me once I see Shi start murdering and rezzing these poor D-ranks about five minutes later. Which begs the question, what rank is Sir Bacon?

I respond by saying "I know your new, but try to keep up. I was offered the chance of learning spells if I killed a few guild members, so I killed these guys. Now you may think that life is sacred, but it's not. Death and life are meaningless in a world of reincarnation. By killing them I'm just accelerating the process of reincarnation for them."

Shi's speech brings up a thought in my mind...what happens if we die in this afterlife? ...I decide I'd rather not find out firsthand, and take a breath to steady myself.

"...Whatever you say, man. Just...don't go all 'nothing personnel' on me, 'k?"
I definitely don't agree with him on the whole "life isn't sacred" thing, but it seems stupid to argue with a guy who clearly outclasses me this much. Perhaps I can convince him otherwise, but I remember his power-hungry vibes I got from his Reading. For now, I better just go along with his crazed schemes.

PART 2!

Actually I'm going to change a few things in the first dialogue, she isn't going to try to sell the knife and shield to a merchant and will only try to trade them to the tricked party for a potion of ether and/or cash. This is the dialogue:
"WAAAAAIIIIITTTT!!!!" Does anyone here have a potion of mana? Please! I can't go back shopping, I need to go the mansion now. I have this new job at the mansion that needs mana and the head of the mansion told me I will get cold hard cash for "gardening" tomorrow for a noble and I will give you part of the cut. Also if anyone helps with the "garden" I will pay them too. I don't know how much mana I need for the "garden" because today took all my mana. If any of you have a potion of ether I will give you my shield and if that's not enough my knife!"

The rest of the first post is the same.

I will also say: "I made I new friend! Koko!" She opens up her backpack to show the kitty!"

I try Bacon's gum and see if it does anything and listen to more psp jams. When Shi murders I clap, but still feel bad for the kid, but think at least she won't be orcked now. If they have anything of mine I take it and loot what I can after asking my team mates if they want anything because Shi killed them and Bacon is new.

When I get to the mansion I tell a maid to put Koko in my room.

Mythic RPG is Paranormal

Mythic RPG is a mix of a magic 8 ball, a tarot deck and a ouija board. This is a truly paranormal system. Do note use to communicate with spirits!

The Fate Chart (pic related) works like a magic 8 ball and is used to answer general Yes/No questions. It allows Mythic RPG to answer any question that the players have just with dice rolls, and even to generate an entire environment.

The Event Chart works like a tarot deck. In fact, originally, the author was using an actual tarot deck, and using the cards as inspiration for the answers. Later on, he abstracted the cards to extract their essence into one word, which developed into Mythic's Event Chart.

>>4344101
Squiddly and Mark, each using his own form of magic, find a way to communicate and exchange information. Who knows what two such powerful beings could accomplish if they teamed up?

「Contact Friend」Squiddly uses his divine power to send a telepathic message to his clown friend and ask him where he and the others are. Mark hears Squiddly voice as if he was in the same room.

「Honkler」Mark tries to conjure a sentient balloon dog from his drawing, but the magic does not work. (The description of Honkler says that he's not allowed to tell what the drawing represents.) That's too bad, it would have been the most badass pet ever...

「Clown Magic」Mark creates an illusion of a large floating balloon that says SQUIDD. It rises high in the sky. That should help Squiddly to find him...

>>4344160
「Empathic Reading」Sir Bacon concentrates on the surface emotions of the people in the room. He begins to feel their feelings as if it was his.

Elf
>She has no surface thoughts at all! How's that possible?!

Old Man
>The old man's feeling is that of intense, cruel hatred. The intense is exceptionally strong.

>What rank is Sir Bacon?
He hasn't joined the Adventurer's Guild so he doesn't have a rank. For the same reason, Ayame doesn't have a rank either.

>>4344242
Ayame passes notes to the others. They contain coded words which they cannot understand the meaning of.

Ayame asks the rookies for a potion of ether, but those are rather rare and no one has any. It is indeed very rare that a spellcaster runs out of mana.

The druid girl introduces herself. She seems very young, and wears an adorable bear costume with a little bear face. Coincidentally, it looks a lot like >>4344650, but bear instead of frog.

"Hello, miss. I am Mimni. I wish I had a potion of ether for you, but I don't. However, if you want money, I have some to spare. I don't know how much a potion of ether costs, but I hope this will help you."

She smiles and gives a coin of silver to Ayame.

"Your cat Koko is very cute! May I pet him? I'm a druid, it's a hard class but the most appropriate for someone who loves animals."

Ayame takes gum from Bacon, but it doesn't do anything special other than give her a fresh breath.

Shi's disguise as a merchant fades away and he retakes his normal appearance. The D-ranked necromancer freaks out.

"James the merchant is Shi the wizard! He's wanted by the guild!"

The other rookies scream in fear.

「Shadowy Chainmail」Shi summons the shadows that reside in his heart and make them shroud him as a chain mail. This armor is as light as a shadow and does not hinder his moves.

「Edgelord」He then teleports behind the rookie necromancer and shoots him in the back of the neck with his beloved Desert Eagles. Blood and brain matter splat all over the walls and Sir Bacon. The other rookies scream more and try to escape, but running does not help against a man in possession of the Edgelord cheat. Shi teleports behind the other rookies and calmly executes all of them. HEADSHOT x4.

>>4344160
Sir Bacon says "DUDE WHAT THE FUCK". It looks like he's pissing his pants.

「Fear Shield」Sir Bacon channels his fear into a solid, black wall of energy around him.

「Shinigami Death Curse」A diabolical, horned woman suddenly appears. She's only semi-material, her right side looks like it's evaporating into astral energy. She's only visible to Sir Bacon, who suffers from the Death Curse of the death kamis. She opens her mouth and sucks in the entire shield into her mouth!

"Delicious loosh, delicious... Produce more for me..."

She grins and disappears.

Ayame claps enthusiastically.

The old man Barbatos stands up and bows before Shi in the Japanese style. He takes some blood from the floor and rubs it on his back spine as a massage. That might seem a bit strange, but this is perfectly normal for him. The warm blood makes him feel ecstatic.

"Those are impressive miniaturized muskets you have, Shi. This killing will certainly get you a lot of Good Boy Points. Master Égéphiar will be very pleased when I tell him about it. MAIDS! Bring an elite meal to this gentleman."

He pours a glass of wine for Shi.

Ayame takes all things of value out of the bodies and asks her team mates if they want anything.

Loot: a black robe (bloody), an eye patch (bloody), a newspaper, a peasant outfit (bloody), a pouch with 5 silver coins, a bear outfit (bloody), a potion with a soothing smell, a twisted wooden staff, an exotic dancer outfit (bloody), a copper flute, a kukri (knife), 3 potions of healing, 3 silver coins, 5 copper coins.

The maids hurry and bring two platters of food with chicken tenders and French fries. There's one platter for Shi, who's earned Good Boy Points for killing the D rankers, and one platter for Ayame, who's earned Pretty Princess Points for bringing in a zombie.

Ayame tells the maids to bring Koko to her room. It's true that it's late, and little Koko is feeling sleepy.

Holy Trips of Jesus: Shi rolled a triple 111 >>4344111, the holy number of angels. For alignment reasons, he's hurt by the positive energy and this causes him to suffer a -2 RS penalty to all actions for 3 turns. (Shi's exact alignment remains secret.)

There are no esoteric items for sale in the open-air market.

After finishing his purchases, the warrior walks back to Master Égéphiar's manor. Dusk is approaching, and he's going to die if he spends too much time in the market. His conditions as a slave are harsh. And now that he's sold his wristwatch, will he be able to keep track of time tomorrow? He enters the living room and finds that the rest of the party is there, in the middle of what looks like a bloody crime scene.

...For some reason, the absolute horror of the current state of affairs isn't affecting me like I thought it would. As in, the shock of the grisly murder and the brain matter on my body is fading right now instead of after years of therapy. Maybe my powers are subconsciously reining in my own emotions...? or maybe I'm handwaving a reason not to roleplay a constantly terrified normal person in a world of absolute madness, 'cause that'd get boring and/or annoying

Shaken, but not stirred, I ask to take the pouch of silver coins from Ayame and at least one of the healing potions. I need money and a better way to carry things than hoodie and jean pockets, and I can at least tie this pouch to one of my belt loops. Maybe I could scan the newspaper to learn more about this place.

I take a look at the plates of chicken tenders and fries. "Of course it'd be tendies...this really is no ordinary isekai. From the existence of Kek to Shi's comical edginess...How is he even firing those guns? Surely he'd run out of ammo...unless this world magically enhances mundane weapons....hmm..." I fiddle with the practice katana at my hip as my thoughts race, wondering if I may actually be able to use it in a fight if the time came.

Before Shi walks off with this gladiator guy, I ask him something. "...Is it really worth doing these kinds of things just for power to you? Surely there's a better way to learn weird magic without slaughtering people."

Turning back to the rest of the room, the smell of blood suddenly hits my nostrils, as I've stopped focusing on Shi and his shi-nanigans and notice the splattered remains of the corpses on the floor, walls, and myself. Blech. I try and channel my disgust and revulsion to clean myself and the room around me of blood and other gross stuff.

Changing my dialogue to get the edgy bonus

I say to Barbatos "There's a concept back from where I live, that art can be created through destruction. I think I've seen that fully realized today, despite being some of the lowest of the low the D rankers death were truley exhilarating. The terror before their deaths, the realization that all of their life had lead to this moment, that in the end despite their best efforts their struggle and life was meaningless. It was pure bliss, but now like any good artist I have to put the clay given to me into shape. I require a dark, moldy room to perform rituals in. Do you know of such a room in this building?"

Don't think that just 'cause you get to be a badass in this twisted anime world that you're worth more than me, or her, or him, or all those people you killed."

My own emotions are ramping up as I speak...Without me realizing it, my powers react to what I say and how I feel, and project an aura of righteous anger around me (what this aura does is up to the QM, but i'm not trying to hurt anyone rn). I'm not looking for a fight, but it seems that Shi and I have some pretty fundamental differences in our worldviews. This'll make traveling together...interesting, at the very least.

"Nice to meet ya, Wade. Name's Sir Bacon, or just Bacon if ya want. I've got some magic 'Empath' powers and a cheat that makes everyone who's not an Isekai victim like us forget my existence where I'm not there. Also I can still shitpost on the 'chan, so that's nice."
Wade seems like a nice guy, all things considered. Seems he's in a bit of a bind with that magic collar...maybe I could help him out with that eventually? Not in front of the demonologist in the room, tho. Regardless, he's right when he says shit's fucked.
"...Look, I'm not gonna stop ya from messing with already dead corpses. Do what you gotta do. Just...it'd be nice if we didn't make too many more while we're here."

I should still have one more action this turn...does Mr. Barbatos have a room available in this bigass mansion? I need to stick with a party, and it sounds like the plan is to stay the night here before heading out. Though I could just hide in one of the rooms and he'd be none the wiser, thanks to my cheat, I figure I might as well ask for the sake of kindness.

You can tell me your specific views on the world all you want, but your not the arbiter of morality. Humans on Earth have only had the concept of human rights for .01% of all of human history. Many of the people of the past would disagree and almost hate you for your views they would feel such intense emotion for somone who didn't share their view point. Who are you to say their wrong, who are out of mutiple unvierses to say that you have the one correct moral framework out of the quadrillions of people in the unvierse, mabey even infinte amounts of people. Out of gods who know infinitely more than you, you think you got the correct way to do things? Why do you have your views, is it because your inate mortality or like all humans were you taught right and wrong from you parents. You views of society are merely a product of your enviorment. Your not right just because you have and believe in them. Without one true god to deem what's right, your morals are just a subjective product of your experiences, their nothing more than your brain reacting to stimuli. I don't believe I'm above anyone, I don't believe in the concept of a moral framework.

It seemed to show up when I was super afraid, so I bet fear and protection have a connection. Survival instincts and whatnot. Oh, and thanks for the knife...might be a better weapon than a blunt sword."
Ayame's reassurance relieves me a bit.
i assume you meant to type "YOU seem fun and have balls", otherwise the sentence becomes very interesting in an unintended way

>>4345110
Shi seems to think I think way more highly of myself than I actually do, and his knowledge of human history is...dubious. At this point, though, I've decided it's not worth arguing about further, so I let Shi have the last word, for better or worse, and my angry aura dissipates (if it even appeared in the first place).

Back to thinking. "Ayame and Wade seem cool. Shi is...a total fucking sociopath, but he definitely is no Chaotic Evil, so I know that he won't do something awful to me without reason. Plus, his guns and teleporting make him a hell of a fighter. This party might actually work out for me...hell, for all of us, if I can learn and control my powers..."

"So you're an emotive psychic? That shit's rad, a lot more than flinging nets and doing street performances for coppers anyhow. Nice to meet you. About the bodies... agreed. Shame that you can't be remembered by anyone that hasn't been Isekai'd though but it has its advantages. You seem to be a decent guy, that's really reassuring, I can think of a thousand ways that shit could be abused if you weren't. Amp up someone's happiness to make them vulnerable to a con, snatch their wallet, then leave without any chance of getting caught... That's the least of it."

>>4345110
"Hmm. If objective morality doesn't exist and Might Makes Right, does that mean it's a moral obligation to gain as much power as possible to enforce the ideal morality? Or is forcing morality onto others a perversion of morality in and of itself? Complicated shit."
>"I agree to your terms."
"Nice. I've buried plenty of bodies before, though only a couple of them were human and I didn't have anything to do with their deaths. I'm not squeamish about handling bodies. What kind of ritual were you planning, anyway? You thinking of making some kind of flesh golem? I don't know if that'd be subtle enough to go far, though it'd sure as hell make a decent distraction."
>>
>>4345127
This isn't exactly a show it's a serious dealing with the occult. One wrong movie and we could die. I only ask Wade because, he's experinced in the field. So, no you can't watch.
>>
>>4345156
"You can't enforce an ideal morality when it doesn't exist/hasn't been discovered. There is no one ideal in a field of subjectivity. One could argue it's your moral obligation to the objective morality to find/create it. Through learning all there is to learn, once done you can do as it says. Enforcing the objective morality on others might be against the objective morality you would have to find out."
>>
>>4345158
"I need to know what we're working with here. You trying to commune with the ghost of an adventurer to see if they have any info on the guild? Trying to animate the corpses to serve as minions? That all takes a different approach and a lot of this is theoretical, because I don't know how closely this world's occultism cleaves to our previous world's, or how much, if any, is transferable."
>>
>>4345156
"Honestly, I didn't even think of those villainous shenanigans. Hopefully I'll never have to use it this way...and don't be hard on yourself. Being a Gladiator sounds cool as shit! You know all kinds of showy and--more importantly--unorthodox martial arts, and those would really help you in a pinch."
An idea flashes through my mind. I have this sword and a knife, but little to no knowledge of how to fight with them beyond the bare-bone basics of "every attack should protect you, every defense should pose a threat". My martial arts gig in high school didn't prepare me for weapons combat, but someone here has been gifted said knowledge...
"...You're sticking with Shi and Ayame, right? Think you could teach me a bit of sword fighting while we're together? I get the feeling I could make even a blunt blade like this strong with some emo magic, but it won't matter if I don't know how to fight with it."

It's a ritual to summon dog like cannibal men called ghouls. The ritual called for fresh human bodies to be in a dark, moldy room for 1 hour. There may be more to it, so I asked you for your expertise.

"True, I feel that it's every individual's duty to do unto others what they would prefer to be done. Considering differences of individual perspective that's far from an objective moral framework and impossible to render into something coherent, but it's a start. I'm a fan of Stoicism myself and Epicures was onto something with his philosophy of responsible hedonism, but feel that of the Greeks, Diogenes had it closest to right, at least because he didn't care what the rest of the world thought and pursued his own path to its condemnation. That, and he was pretty fuggen based. There was one time he saw the child of a prostitute throwing rocks into a crowd and told him, 'be careful boy, you might hit your father.' I don't know how righteous that was but it definitely pulled the curtain from the glass."

"Until I can't draw breath. Once a chanfaggot, always a chanfaggot. There's a couple others too, Mark's a Clown and Squiddly's a Priest of Kek. Both righteous as it gets but I don't know where they're at right now or how heavy they lean into the Lawful side of the spectrum. I'm sure you'll get along great."
>"Think you could teach me a bit of sword fighting while we're together?"
"Abso-fuckin-lutely, you just say the word and I'll try to run you through the basics. I wasn't any kind of martial artist back on earth but I got into more fights than I can count on both hands. Most important thing is footwork, forget your hands, until you know how to step and throw your weight into a swing you're not getting anywhere but facedown in a ditch."

>>4345198
"Ghouls... A little unsanitary but they're a classic for good reason. Come to think of it, they're associated with a lot of different monsters. What power source are you using to fuel the ritual? Necromancy, faux-vampirism, spirit-binding, even golemancy with different parts. There's a ton of variables. If it's the last one, considering the mythological roots this could be relevant: I'm by no means fluent but I'm familiar with the Kabbalah and know a couple of hebrew runes. You ever hear of a Qlippoth?"

>>4345208
"The more the merrier. I can run you through a couple of lessons tomorrow, no questions asked or payment requested. Heh, consider it compensation for putting up with my shit.

The ghouls are lovecraftian in nature and the ritual is powered by my cheat "Strange Aeons."

"Yep, there's about... Eh, between me, you, Mark, Squiddly, Ayame, and Shi, I'd say there's about six. Not a bad party spread all-considered but now that I think about it, I guess I'm the party tank. There's Abigail too, a priest of Aphrodite that's also Isekai'd, but she browsed /soc/ and as far as I can gather is enslaved to Shi so the situation's complicated. Got her a cinnamon bun because I made a cobbler when a succubus princess by the name of Zaelhya asked me to, then severed three of her fingers with a whip when I tried to share the thing. She managed to heal herself but never got the cobbler, so I figure this'll make up for that a little. Oh, forgot to mention, she tried to mindrape me but I threw off the enchantment without any resistance which apparently got her a little obsessed. Kept calling me handsome, implying implications, and trying to undress me with her eyes while I was cooking, worrying as fuck but she bailed once it was finished and had some business in the city to take care of. I should be safe for now but it bares mentioning."
>think for a few seconds
"So we've got a shapeshifting Druid, a reality-warping Clown/Con Artist, a Priest of Kek, an impossible-to-remember Empath, a teleporting Sorcerer with dual desert eagles, and a Gladiator who spent more time than healthy innawoods and reading up on /x/-tier shit.

Isekai Cheat:
Death Count: You have a perfect count of every kill you have made organized as you
please, and an instinctive understanding of everything you encounter’s
weaknesses on every level physical, mental, and spiritual. This applies
to people and their psychology.

Strengths
Under Pressure: When things are down to the wire you always seem composed and
confident where others bend and break. +1RS to retaining composure.

Crunch Time: You’re at your best when things are at their worst. All checks are easier
when calamity looms. +1RS during crisis such as being near death, attempting to save near death teammates and other high risk situations.

Born to Run: The result of training and natural ability, short bursts of incredible
speed and endless charges across the land are possible. Terrain and
encumbrance are meaningless in the face of your lust for speed. +1RS to running actions.
Reaper Aspirant: Although your Death Perception is weakened in the dream world, the knowlege of how to destroy hasn't left. It's easier to see flaws in an enemy's fighting style, and enemy weaknesses are easier to intuit. Training is also a bit easier due to your experience finding your own flaws. It's nowhere close to what you had, but it's a start.
Tetraphilia: Strangely, the number four has always had a positive synchronicity in your life.
Armsmastery: The cheatlike knowledge granted by the armsmaster class makes you an adept in all forms of weaponry, for all forms of weapon. Grants the rank High in the skill Weapon Styles
Blessing of Chaos: +1 RS to chaotic actions.

Weaknesses
Intense Presence: Your stoic demeanor and curt manner of speaking paired with strongly
held convictions make people unfamiliar with you anxious or even
fearful.

Hard to Read: Your constant deadpan makes you difficult to understand, often leading
to misunderstandings.

"I mean, they did have a Summon Demon scroll accessible to high-ranking Adventurers at the Guild. If they're willing to give that sort of heinous shit out for anyone that has enough Adventuring Points, it's probably reasonable to think there's much worse out there. Ancient Liches, Forbidden Gods, Black Magicians... There's a lot to be wary of, especially when we consider our souls aren't necessarily inextricably inviolate and eternal. Of course, the only demon I've met so far was straight out of some over-the-top comedy shit, maybe they aren't unspeakable harbingers of corruption and damnation here, or at least the more accessible ones."

"Demons aren't supposed to be abundant either but we all saw a succubus firsthand.

"More worrying than the entities themselves are their cultists. Fuck. They could be anywhere, we'll need to keep an eye out for any fish people."
True. I'd say my wilderness survival skill's an asset but we have an honest to [INSERT_NATURE_DEITY] druid. I wasn't joking about the Forbidden Lore skill but is it really a good idea to dive too deep into that? I plan on summoning an aspect of an entity known as the Slime Lord to enter into a pact, its brand on my chest in exchange for a pittance of its power, but I'm not certain if that's a wise decision. My wisdom is abysmal though, I'll probably try to follow through. The berserking is another thing too, not an instant superpower or anything to be remotely proud of, but I have blacked out and came to with bruised knuckles or a broken stick/dented fire poker 5-10 minutes later on multiple occasions. I'm 99% certain it's genetic but the feeling's indescribable.

I forgot to ask at the time but this seems relevant, did the Gladiator class improve any of my physical stats? More specifically Agility or Reflexes? Strength and Dexterity are also relevant but it has me curious to see if anything was brought to Average.

I was gonna ask about that "Cassanova" aura you have. I know something who's like that too. His past life was a Cassanova and the guy get's asked out a lot. He isn't a player and I don't think you are either. Also a lot /x/ stuff happens to me and I'm glad I'm not only one.

"Hmm. Seeing as she's a priestess of Hermes and bound to have some sort of haste spell, should I pick up some nets from the marketplace to pin her down? Remember, she's worth much more to Egéphiar alive. Preserving our anonymity is somewhat important, less so for you since there's already a bounty on your head. Huh. Maybe one of us should swing by the Guild and see if there's a quest to take you down, just to be sure what we're up against."

The "casanova" aura isn't something I aspire to or consciously try to cultivate, I've just firmly internalized that I don't care about attractive women anymore than anyone else if I'm not looking for a long-term relationship. There's no mistreatment or seduction on my part, only a complete lack of anxiety, hesitation, or nervousness when I'm talking to attractive women and no impulse to defer to them or give any 'special treatment' that isn't already my default toward everyone else. It's readily apparent I don't see them sexually or care about that, but I don't explicitly mention it, and some, maybe one-in-ten women, get cagey or clingy about trying to change that, whether their approach is passively or overtly aggressive. Sometimes two or more will be doing the same shit and then stumble over each other, which isn't fun for anyone involved. A few of them told me they thought I was out of their league after I let them down gently, which blows my mind, because for all the smut I've written and sold online, I've never once had sex with, kissed, or went on a date with a woman. I think it's psychological and symptomatic of our decaying society but I wouldn't recommend the lifestyle, it's unhealthy.

Case in point, the spoiled succubus mutilating Abigail and stealing the cobbler I made while trying to manipulate me into making a pass. I think it's hysterical that this came up through sheer random chance and the roll of the dice, if I'd won the riddle game this likely would've gone unmentioned. Though Abigail seemingly got overinvested in me, I think that's because she saw an avenue of escape from Shi, which is at least understandable. I don't know what I'd do with the Harem Protag cheat except carry a stick like the old boomer joke about having to beat off the ladies.


>>4345448
>lean in and whisper
"I'd say it's complicated but it's really not. Since we failed the riddle game the demonologist said if we kill her and bring back proof he'll either answer a question or free one of us at Shi's request. Given that Amaya can shapeshift into a slime and likely get out that way and I have a getaway plan in motion, I think it'd likely be best if he asked for obscure knowledge we couldn't get elsewhere instead of undergoing all that risk for something that's already likely."

>>4345454
Que?

>>4345465
I never meant it was conscious. He told me it wasn't and he's a very sweet and cool guy. There's ways to suppress it if it's an aura. Good luck.

The NPCs have a correct understanding that you're a Casanova, even though this fact was outside of my own understanding from your character sheet. That is because Mythic RPG is a ouija board.

No, one can run away from the Death Eater. To answer you question about kidnapping that is a possibility but it depends on how easy it is to escape. If the top floor is made out of wood or there is a window then I can shadow step everybody to the base quickly.

"I'm not talking about them escaping, I'm concerned about them calling on Hermes to go into bullet-time and trouncing us faster than we can react. Solana's the most dangerous adventurer in the Visea Guild branch and shouldn't be underestimated. If we can find any advantage we have to take it."

Well a a normal net wouldn't do much other than slow her down temporarily. A net can also easily be cut by a knife or sword, so escaping from thay would be child's play. If we need to stop her movements, I could shoot her in both of her kneecaps.

Squiddly follows the magical balloon that's floating in the sky, and finds his friend Mark in a tavern of the Lower Quarter. Mark is in conversation with the keeper.

>Mr. Keeper, do you have any clothes of your daughter?

"Yes, yes, I do." He goes upstairs and brings a white dress made of cotton. "Also, I'm sorry about puking earlier. I have no idea what happened."

Mark summons a strange fetus-like creature made of a balloon. It has a round core surrounded by three deformed appendices. . (I could not guess what was drawn.)

Mark recites a small encouraging poem to make the creature follow the cloth's scent, but it's too late. It falls to the floor and wiggles like a worm, before it dies.

>Honkler: The creature gains a +1 bonus to its Scent skill for two turns.

>>4345370
The Eldritch Express, piloted by Jackson, travels from Devapura to the east and parks outside the gates of Visea. Chase steps out of the train, and gazes at the horizon, thoughtful. Suddenly, he's teleported back to Kek's temple. The chaos god remains silent; there's only the cheat wheel to spin. He doesn't make the mistake of making a speech about the Kek's Adventurer's Guild, he's too afraid that Chase would destroy it if he learned about its existence.

Chase notices that there are a lot more cheats than before. It went up from 20 to 50 cheats. He guesses that he's important enough that Kek summoned him for the update. The wheel spins and stops on the icon of a small winged sword.

Sword Saint (cheat): You unlock the power of your own ki and can combine it to your competence in sword fighting to use special ki-based techniques. You will gain a new technique in each thread that you join, but only if you didn't die in the previous thread. You gain the skills "Sword Fighting", "Sword Flying" and "Ki Blast" at rank Average.

Disintegrate Charge (sword technique): You can charge your enemies and disintegrate them with ki when their torso is hit. Succeeds only if you reach maximum sprinting speed. Fails if the target can make a successful Toughness check.

Chase steps on the katana "Hitoshi" and makes it levitate above the ground. He carefully navigates toward the portal and finds himself in the middle of a summoning circle, with four corpses on the ground, and Shi who's charismatically barking like a dog in front of a large, captivated audience.

Barbatos follows the argument between Shi and Bacon >>4344785. He intervenes.

"Sir Bacon, I notice how quick you were to jump on the purse. You are like a scavenger feeding from Young Master Shi's leftovers. It is then not appropriate to feel scorn for him."

Shi asks the old man Barbatos:

>You wouldn't happen to have a dark, moldy room, I could perform my rituals in would you?"

"Yes, Young Master Shi. Master Égéphiar's manor is connected to the sewers, so I think we will find something suitable. As you plan to perform a dark ritual, I will summon Lady Zaelhya so that she can assist you."

The succubus appears in a puff of smoke, as she always does. She winks at Wade.

Wade asks Barbatos if he can borrow any occult reagents of his for the ritual. He's displaying a cinnamon bun in his palm.

"No! You haven't earned enough Good Boy Points!" he answers harshly. It seems that the Casanova aura does not work on the old man...

Barcon asks Barbatos for a free room.

"This is not a hotel. If you don't plan on attending Young Master Shi's ritual, I'm asking you to leave immediately."
>>
>>4345889

Barbatos leads Shi, Wade, Zaelhya, Abigail to the manor's basement. Several other slaves and two maids are also following. (Barbatos also orders Ayame to follow, please state if you do.)

「Empath」 Bacon stays behind, anonymously. Using his new powers, he calms his own emotions, so as to avoid suffering from PTSD. He feels detached, almost as if everything that happened was only a dream.

"This is the basement, which we use to store wine and also to jail and torture misbehaving slaves."

He walks through the corridor and opens a rusty door that leads to the sewers. The architecture looks Greco-Roman in appearance, with beautifully carved walls and pillars. Wade feels in home in such environment, that reminds him of his (short) career as a gladiator.

"Ratmen live here. If you see any of them, we should attack them from a distance so that they do not bite you. They are known to carry vile diseases."

Barbatos leads them to a small chapel with benches painted in black. There's an altar and the broken statue of an unknown god. They enter the room in order of rank: Shi first, followed by Barbatos, Zaelhya, the maids, and the slaves last.

「Strange Aeons」Shi finds that the room is suitably dark and moldy. He transforms himself with tentacles and fangs and recites a dark mass, where he explains both his personal philosophies, as well as go on unintelligible rants about the nature of the universe and the eldritch entities that inhabit it. The further he goes, the more insane his speech becomes, until it is only made of animal and alien noises. Now entirely possessed, Shi draws a magical circle around the four corpses, and a strange eye with three tentacles known as the "Yellow Sign".

Standing on his sides are his assistants, Zaelhya and Abigail, who sacrifice the corpses to an eldritch entity known as "Hastur".

The warrior Chase appears in the middle of the summoning circle.

"Wow!" a slave exclaims. "The texture of this ghoul is incredible, it looks almost human."

The warrior walks outside of the circle and sits on one of the benches.

Shi raises his hands above his head, jumps and spins in the air.

"Hastur, though who shalt not be named... Ghoul! Ghouli! Ghoula!" Shi screams, the rest of his incantation is impossible to understand. "GULORGH!!!" All the candles are blown away. "TABETE KUDASAI." The four corpses raise. It's impossible to distinguish their traits because of the darkness, but they have been brought to life.

One of the ghouls say: "Errrrrgh... Hungry...."

From his eyes, Barbatos emits a ray of fire to light the candles again. The audience can now seen that the corpses have changed. Their skin is rubbery; they have canine features and dangerous claws. Barbatos grabs a slave and throws her inside the circle. The ghouls jump on the slave and devours her alive. They dig with their name inside of her stomach, and eat the bowels first. Then, they eat the eyes, and then, the brain.

Mimni the ghoul says: "Koko... Where'ssss Koko... Hungry..."

>>4344950
Wade's mind is filled with knowledge about ghouls.

「Forbidden Lore」Ghouls are rather intelligent creatures. Sometimes, humans lured by dark knowledge go to live among them, in the sewer systems that exist beneath many cities.

>>4345094
(If present:) Ayame's mind is filled with knowledge about ghouls. Don't read if you're not present!

「Forbidden Lore」 Ghouls are always hungry for the flesh of the living, but usually sate themselves by consuming the corpses of the dead.

The gristly sacrifice before me wakes me from the disorientation of the summoning as Trickfears turns any reservations I might have had into fuel for the righteous hate blazing inside me.
Harkening back to the Kensei Miyamoto Musashi, I draw Trickfears and Hitoshi and strike the spinal chords of the flesheating ghouls.
I spin Hitoshi in a flourish, flicking off the blood before it returns to its sheath.
Gripping the blade of Trickfears in a Halfsword grip(pic related), I rush the slaver with a Disintegrate Charge『Born to Run』.
>>
I wasn't certain earlier because anime is prone to using western names for mythical entities but Sir Bacon's emotion reading has me suspecting Barbatos isn't human. Not something I'd mention or dwell on because there's the concern that he'd react negatively to being accused of having an unholy nature outright, but worth keeping in mind.

It's a decent match-up all-around, I'd say it'd be over one way or another almost immediately but there's four ghouls backing Shi, the succubus princess is likely to intervene with a whiplash or something more serious, and as much of a wildcard as he is, I doubt Barbatos would let an apparent intrusion of his friend's abode go unanswered. I'm going to be sitting this one out upstairs because otherwise I'd likely be magically compelled into tanking a ki blast center mass.

This is the basement of a paranoid demonologist's lair in the middle of a steampunk city run by an alchemist's, merchant's, and slaver's guild respectively. You're busted as fuck but I doubt there aren't any countermeasures in place for a similar scenario. Regardless of the victor, there's a good chance this is going to be a fighting escape on your part.

>>4346095
You could always roll to determine. There's a decent chance he wouldn't have recognized Shi beneath the tentacles and eldritch screaming, it's a lot to be dropped into without any context.

>>4346078
>>4346093
He didn't specify Shi, and as far as I'm aware the edgelord teleport takes a fraction of a second, whereas 『Born to Run』 requires sprinting though he might be at a disadvantage because he's caught by surprise. Then again he is in eldritch-mode so some tentacles might tank the brunt of the damage, but there's no way to be sure until the song of the sword against the forbidden sorcerer has been sung.
>>
>>4346095
Can I try to avoid the conflict and sneak off to attempt >>4346004? It's worth noting that Barbatos is the one who flung a slave into the ghouls, even though Shi was clearly the one who animed them.
>>
>>4346109

This really throws a wrench into everyone's shit but I suppose it's reasonable to have dropped him in the basement from Kek's perspective. I don't suppose there's any reason to implement the Rule of Blood, to that end.

Out of character

I don't believe in my in-game character's philosophy and merely use it as a tool of roleplay to explain why he does the thing he does and the actions he takes. I do believe in a tabletop cooperative game you should never engage in harmful actions against other players especially when it results in their deaths. It would make sense in-game for me to kill Bacon since all he has done is steal my shit and complain about my action's morality, but I didn't because he's another player and I wouldn't want to ruin his gaming experience. If Chase wanted to be Mr. Good guy he could just let me do my thing here and go join Squiddy and Mark or just talk to me, but he actively chose to kill me or at least have the chance that he kills me.
>>

>>4346118
Why do you always get so skittish about pvp anyway?
It seems like a bit contrary to your whole "world of strength" shtick.
>>
>>4346174
I would agree if this was an RPG where we made characters and formed an adventuring party.
It's quite admirable to want to keep the fun but the original premise was to play ourselves, and if I was dropped into an evil church where terrible rituals were being conducted I would do anything in my power to stop it.
>>
>>4346175
This is a cooperative game where you're supposed to work together towards a common goal. By killing other players you actively ruining their experience in it, PVP in DnD like games never turn out well. It's just an asshole thing to do.
>>
>>4346184
There were multiple ways to stop it you just took to most violent approach.
>>
>>4346187
I'm not exactly optimized for diplomacy, nor am I amoral.
When I see those who have sold themselves to evil I work to destroy them.
>>
>>4346191
I can argue why this was a bad way to stop evil all day long, but at the end of the matter, it's an asshole thing to kill other players in roleplaying games such as this even if it was for roleplay. It's not like you only had one option available to you.

wait when did Bacon steal anything? I just remember taking what Ayame was handing out. Sorry if that looked like stealing

and yeah desu it would also make more sense for Bacon to try and fight you, even if he might lose, or even try and emo-magic my way into guilting your character...but that would be a dick move and it seems that we irl agree that our characters enmity toward each other shouldn't ruin the gaming experience

personally I think PvP should always be agreed on by both players OOC, even if IC one character wouldn't wanna fight

Sir Bacon takes a deep breath. He tries to channel his disgust to somehow clean himself and the room of the blood, but it doesn't work. His emotional energies cannot have a physical action on the real world, he can only manipulate his and other people's emotions.

(Last action cancelled because Shi doesn't get back.)

Ayame is sharing her meal with Koko. He likes it very much, it's the first time in his life he can eat good meat.

>>4346004
>>4346009
(Wade's actions)

>Barbatos. If you would indulge a slave, might I ask, what is your relation with the esteemed Master Egéphiar?
(Actition cancelled: too late to ask this question)

>Wake her up if she's unconscious
(Action cancelled: Abigail is in the sewers with Shi)

At the light of a candle, Wade returns to the sewers and wanders off in the tunnels. He can barely see in the dimness, but he puts his hand on the wall to guide himself. The stench is difficult to bear. After half an hour, he reaches a small chamber of similar size to Shi's ritual room. It is a chapel dedicated to a dark god. When he steps inside, he is hit with dark rays of an unknown nature. They don't see to have any effect on him, but he's not too sure.

He draws a pentagram with the chalk, and draws letters in the language of Hell " 'עפר'". Somehow, it feels natural, even inspiring, to write that write in that environment. Once done, he begins a sensation of meditation, but he's unable to concentrate properly. All he sees is visions of Shi's actions and the horrific, blasphemous faces of the ghouls.


>>4346058
Squiddly prays to the lord of memes to obtain divine information about the location of the lost damsel. Kek does not answer directly to Squiddly with a vision, as he could have expected, but he boosts Mark's dog's tracking abilities (see below).

Squiddly
>+ steel longsword
>Mark's dog gains +1 RS to tracking skills

>>4345968
「Honkler」Mark summons a hound made of clown balloons. It woofs and runs in a circle around its master, wiggling its tale happily. Then it floats and circles slowly around Mark in the air.

>Mr. Keeper do you have anything to spare that could help with my investigation,
"I don't have the information that you seek, otherwise, trust me, I would have done everything I can to save her, even if it would cost my life. I only know that people have seen a carriage of noble drive in their neighborhood, which is very rare in the Lower Quarter."
>>
>>4346423

>Some supplies even like rope or something
"Yes, if rope can help you then I will bring you some."

He goes to a backroom and brings back 20 feet of rope for Mark.

Mark recites a poem about Kek, a thot and a dame, and the little dog's radiates with multicolored clown energies. He lets the balloon dog sniff the cotton dress.

"Woof! Woof! ワンワン!"

He runs to the door and looks behind, waiting for Mark and Squiddly to follow. Once in the street, he floats above ground, so as to not get soiled. He takes a turn left and enters inside of a dark manor surrounded by a living wall of rotten flesh. The party can see human faces inside of the wall crying, although they make no sound. They enter prudently.

"ワンワン!"

The dog has gotten closer to his target. He running around in a richly decorated living room.

>Honkler: the little dog gains +2 to tracking skills for 2 rounds

>>4346024
>>4345948
Chase draws the artifact sword Trickfears and the katana Hitoshi. Righteous hate is blazing inside of him. He jumps in the middle of the circle of ghouls, and strikes one of them in the spine. Everyone is surprised at Chase's sudden action of violence. They were all attending a peaceful black mass lead by Shi, and a free-for-all fight was not expected at the end. The other ghouls get angry and try to bite and hit Chase with their claws. There are too many of them, it's too dangerous and Chase jumps in a back flip to escape. One of the ghouls has managed to hit him on the chest.

Shi gets angry.

"If a faggot kills my shit, I kill the faggot."

Chase is a professional and remains focused on his killing tasks. He uses all of his power and training to charge Shi. He has to move faster than Shi can think. If he's too slow, Shi could teleport behind him and perhaps flee.

「Disintegrate Charge」Chase makes a power jump toward Shi the slaver. He jumps a distance of five meters in only a split second. He has reached such speed that everyone thinks that he has vanished, because he is much too fast for normal eyes to see. Chase's martial skills are godly. He hits Shi's chest with the tip of Trickfears, which he's holding in a halfsword grip. That's all he needs to destroy Shi. The ki energy travels from his meridians, along the blade, and makes Shi's chest explode. Shi's constitution is not used to receive so much energy.

*BOOOOOM*
>>
>>4346423

Shi's lungs explode everywhere. He falls, dead, with his tongue sticking out. Barbatos and Zaelhya freak out. They don't know who this intruder is, but he seems extremely dangerous and hostile.

"Scorching Ray!"

The old man Barbatos summons the fires of hell into another ray and makes Chase burn alive. Chase is now covered in flames which he can't extinguish. The succubus Zaelhya takes her whip out catches Chase's head around its lash. The weapon makes a loud cracking sound. He tries to pull himself out, but he's chocking. There's no escape. Zaelhya gives one last pull and the metal whip makes his head snap. It flies in the air, rebounds on the floor and falls inside of Shi's gaping chest. Zaelhya looks right and left to see if they are more enemies, before teleporting away in a puff of smoke.

"What was that? Who was this person?" Barbatos asks. His forehead is covered with sweat.

"Waaaaade!!!! Eeeeh!!!" Abigail screams.

>Shi is dead RIP
>Chase is dead RIP

Correct to a degree, but have you considered that your presence is the only thing that galvanized the group to take part in the coup?
For the most part, they're rather content with the current situation and aren't going to be launching any offensives within the next three days.
Not to mention that if they're doing anything at all, it's probably going to be defending against the investigators.
I can leave this life knowing I stemmed the tide of evil, how many can say the same?
>>
>>4346644
The coup was needed by two others of the group, I doubt they're such failures that they won't try and win their freedoms. Even if they are incompetent and can't succeed without me that does mean the Demonologist won't continue with his plan. Me going into his house and agreeing to kill Solana was just a happy little accident, it's not like his plans hinged on my success. Whether I'm dead or not he will continue growing in power and will most likely kill the guild leader. You have forsaken this city by trying to play the hero. Your impact was that of a drop of water in the ocean.

It's possible that, though my magic can itself take form (such as when my fear solidified into a wall), it can't move things telekinetically or blow shit up or whatever.

So, if I teleported and shot Chase it would be my guns skill vs his swords skill? That doesn't make alot of sense. Different weapons have diffrent power levels and while my skill might not be Exceptional the power of the weapon makes up for it, also you can't doge a bullet so his fighting skill letting him do so doesn't make alot of sense. This carries into how I died as well, your basically saying that in PvP the only thing that matters is your fighting skill not the situation your in or the powers you posses. If I can teleport by thinking why is my ability to not take damage the same as if I didn't have that ability. You said in the fluff that Chase moved his sword faster than thought, but that's not what happend with how you did the rolls. I'm not saying you have to re do what happend, I accepted my death before it happend, but the system shouldn't work like it does now. In short I died because I was gimped and chase is cock loving, dick sucking, faggot.

There's no need to rub it in, you've been ITT for all of one turn and spent it on a murder-suicide. Perfectly reasonable from an IC standpoint but doesn't justify the snide OOC faggotry. You were objectively right from an altruistic standpoint but Shi has plenty of reason to be frustrated, if not to passively-aggressively spam complaints about the results more than 24 hours later.

>>4346579
>>4346592
There's no motive for Abigail to try and resurrect Shi, when before this it's been established fact that she hates you over what you did to William and then her afterward. Yes it's unfortunate that a week of buildup went down the drain in a single turn but from an IC standpoint, emerging in the middle of an eldritch ritual featuring necromancy and human sacrifice, with a complete lack of context, the reaction was plenty rational and arguably, would've been if Chase did read through the thread beforehand. You murdered four people and then reanimated them into ghouls for the sake of accumulating power, perfectly fine, but immediate violence is, from a moral basis, also fine.

There aren't any rules against PVP, that's part of the quest, otherwise there wouldn't be an entire cheat dedicated to enabling it. If someone broke into my fucked up summoning attempt and decapitated me in the middle of it, that'd be fine. Not optimal for me by any means, but fine, and I'd be fine with the result because that's part of what makes the quest this quest. Take everything I'm saying with a grain of salt, I wouldn't care if I were you and I barely do. It's just sad to watch.

It really doesn't matter if it makes sense IC, it's still an asshole thing to do OOC. He just joined to kill me and mess with my shit. If just killing me was a success in his book than that really shows you his motives in joining. To spend like a week playing this and then get killed randomly because some moral fag decided to join and QM thought it was a great idea to put him next to me isn't fun.

I explained why Abigail would have motivation to do so, if you don't agree with it that's on you.

That's fair, it is faggotry to drop in and murder-suicide on the first turn, reasonable IC motivations notwithstanding. He could've just as easily tried to talk it out but it's ultimately his decision what he does and turnabout's fair play. I can see she'd try to revive you out of self-preservation because I bailed and she doesn't have any idea what to expect from the rest, while you're generally consistent.

I try to make them count but it's not easy. When I write the update, I go through all the posts and copy the actions in a text file so that I can respond to them. I can tell what's an action post because of the bolded dice rolls. So if there are actions inside of another post it's easy to forget about them.
>>
>>4348048
It would help if players were required to roll in any post that contains an action even if the rolls won't be used.
The only issue I can see with that is people getting annoyed at good rolls on subsequent posts.

Squiddly runs to one of the faces in the wall. He asks how he can help it.

The answer is a muted scream of pure terror. The faces in the wall cannot emit sound, the rules of the city regarding noise pollution are strict. They seem harmless, they don't try to bite him. They are just pathetic looking.

Mark pat's his dog's head. The dog is too happy, he wiggles his tail! He really loves Mark too much, he flies around him all the time and wants to be patted and track down preys for him.

「Clown World Vision」Mark's vision become clearer, his thoughts more lucid. This is Clown World Vision. Mark enters an inner state of perpetual carnival, he sees the world for the laughable joke that it is. The wealth of the room is stupid, wealth rots like everything else, it is so pathetic to hold onto it like an animal. His special state of mind does not reveal anything new about the environment. Considering the hellish wall outside, it could have been a possibility that this manor is a much worse place than it looks, but as far as he can see in this altered, superior state of mind, it is not.

Under a silk rug, the clown finds a hidden compartment in the wooden floor. He puts his hand inside and catches a small red box with ornamental lines drawn on it.

Wade is so sneaky! He's managed to escape from everyone's attention, that's amazing. Some people are insignificant, some as part of their cheat, but Wade always has everyone's attention on him.

He stands up and sacrifices his own blood to the altar of the unknown god.

"Lo, divine, most profane and profound! This lowly mortal gives unto thee its own blood in tribute, its succor in offering. It is unworthy of thine dark majesty, but it is brought in earnest."

"This feeble vessel is in search of purpose, seeking a morsel of power to see the will of one better be done. This one is as dust, born of wretched despondency, and to the darkness this one shall one day return."

"This one is a doddering fool, but a worthy tool he may yet become."

He's expressing himself beautifully. The words come naturally to him, but for another man, it would take years to compose such speech, perhaps it would even be worshipped inside of a sacred text.

"Mighty One, I- WADE, beseech thee to honor this place with an avatar of thine malefic glory, that it might appear in the center of this circle, receive my offering, and grant me but a single audience!"

He's now thine'ing the entity, a truly unstoppable poet. But the chapel has been dead for too long. Who this altar was dedicated to, perhaps no one could ever remember. But what is certai, is that it does not to the words of a simple mortal. A.K.A. rolling 1 too high.

Maybe what he needs is to stay in there two or three more hours?

Abigail tries to revive Shi, but her magic does not work. She's successfully revived other people before, it is just that her magic is capricious.

She goes back upstairs with everyone. She communes with her goddess, Ishtar, to ask what to do next. Ishtar is pleased that Abigail is using her true name, it is the first time the priestess has shown an actual interest in the deity she's supposed to worship. As indeed, previously, Ishtar was only an abstract concept of love to her, if at all. But Wade's interest has made her question herself. He's a faithful worshipper of the Slime God, whose existence he's not even sure of.

And now, she feels more enlightened. Ishtar shows her her true power. She's not very good in terms of spellcasting, yet, she can awaken as a true priestess. Among her talents is her ability to beg a more competent priest to resurrect Shi. Her current party is useless. They have no less than four priests, yet none of the other priests have even entertained the idea of resurrecting Shi. She's the only one who can. She knows there are many competent priests who are staying in the Eldritch Express outside of Visea >>4345892. She only has to beg them and prove her worth to everyone.

She knows of Father Miracle, who's regarded in high esteem for having destroyed an entire temple, but there's also AnonKnight, Danny, Larry, Shinji, and Sigric on the train. Hm, strange, some gods are more popular than others.

Eldritch Express Known Priests

「Emotional Radar」Sir Bacon advances toward the basement and tries to sense Shi and Wade. Oh, that is amazing! He feels a sort of map of emotion of the underground area. It's difficult to describe with words, because it's part of the emotional thinking which is outside the scope of words, but Sir Bacon can feel it. Shi's emotions are distant, almost as if he was in the Astral Plane, but they are very powerful. He feels very frustrated and angry at an undertermined enemy. Wade's emotions are more nuanced. Under a layer of false reverence, he feels foreboding and very dark energies. (Player Wade can correct or complement.)

>>4346488
Part 1:
「Buffed Up」Ayame practices martial arts with Sir Bacon. He's a below average professional so that is still extremely strong compared to an untrained pleb. He throws a few quick jabs at her torso. Time slow downs for her, and she can see the trajectory of the hits with extreme accuracy. He can throw about 8-9 punches per second, but they are all too slow for her. For each blow, she steps on the side and blocks them with her raised forearms. From an outsider's point of view, her entire body is moving very fast and is difficult to follow with the eyes.

>>4346688
Part 2:
>If there's anything good not in plain sight I take them. I use my memory to remember where they were.

「Buffed Up」Her memory is flawless, but there's nothing good that's worth taking.

>I try to sense Bacon-kun as a test of power.

「Buffed Up」Ayame can sense Bacon-kun's magical energies. His aura is very powerful, although it is fluctuating a lot depending on his mood. When he looks in the direction of the basement, it takes darker colors, when he's listening to JoJo it grows in power. Yes, that is a good sense of intuition, it is very dangerous. The vision of the Astral Plane is considered insane by regular golems because they fear what is outside their limited range of sight.

Wuxian, how you currently do PvP is broken and should be fixed. Currently, you just do combat skill ranks against each other, but that ignores the cheats, powers, and abilities one may have. Let's say I can teleport behind someone just by thinking. If I was in a fight against another player that ability would be ignored and the only thing that would be factored is my combat skill rank making it, so a seemingly powerful evasive maneuver and void. Another example would be the superhero the flash, with how you currently do things he would lose to the average boxer because his ability aka his speed wouldn’t matter. This is an even bigger problem when you consider certain cheats give you a bonus to combat skills making them stronger by default. I think you should have some interpretation with PvP like mythic is supposed to rather than flat skill checks.

I believe it was another mutual kill on my part, and the gods of Devapura were apparently fine with you mutilating his corpse and enslaving his friends for whatever reason.
They were real dicks, which is why I blew that city up.
Come to think of it, has there been any city in the Isekai that hasn't been a hive of scum and villainy?
It feels like every place we've been has either unchecked slavery or arenas that abduct gladiators and force them to fight or be devoured.

Wade focus his mental energies on the altar, while chanting "Hear me" repeatedly. Of course, as he has no magical powers, his mental energies have little to no effect on reality.

"WITNESS ME!" Wade breaks his own finger. This is horrifying! Why is he doing that?! He endures the pain, and meditates on the altar.

"This commend to thee. Show thyself to this broken vessel, that he might see and speak unto thine dread visage in the spiritual made material."

The entity, if there's one, does not seem to care about Wade's gruesome sacrifice. The gladiator is only vaguely aware of his imminent death.


>>4348163
>>4348535
Abigail goes back downstairs and to the sacrificial room. The three ghouls are still there, waiting by their master's remains. Shi is now one of them, one of the dead, and this makes him worthier of respect. She asks them each to carry one third of Shi's body parts and bring them to the warlock's living room. That way, at least, Shi won't absord the humidity.

The ghost of Shi appears in the room. He's visibly upset and having an existential crisis.

"How can I ever trust my party after being violently murdered by one of them?" he asks, dramatically. "Chase was the person I knew the longest. He was my loyal sidekick; a brother, even."

A small tear forms at the corner of his eye.

"I'm not a PK, but you can leave," Ayame answers.

>>4348140
>>4348459
"Shi-kun is dead? Nononono!" Ayame then says.

Since he's appeared as a ghost, Shi's tragical death is a fact. With a vacuum of power created by this death, Sir Bacon is quickly asserting himself as a new leadership figure.

He makes his way down to the sewers, leading a rescue party for Wade, who he senses is praying. Ayame is following him.

"Okay! I'm fucking done! Let's go!"

「DEF UP」Although Ayame has long used up all of her reservoir of mana, she has yet the strength to cast another spell: DEF UP, a spell which has the power of increasing tremendously the defenses of her party members. A magical, blinking arrow appear before her and Sir Bacon's heads, indicating that the spell is active.

Near the entrance, they cross path with Barbatos' party, who does not pay attention to them. He knows the slave Ayame, he knows that she can be trusted. Guided by his inexplicable sensorial radar, Sir Bacon tries to find which direction Wade went too. But the radar is of no use to navigate the 3D word, its nature is more of a complex map of intertwining emotions that has no direct equivalent with words or dimensions.

Soon, Bacon-kun finds himself lost in the maze. He's becoming aware of being watched but he's only feeling tension and excitement. He has seen the glowing red eyes. There are creatures living in the sewers, and they are following him. If he was not listening to music, he would probably have heard them, too. He throws a glance behind him, and when he looks back in front of him, there's a group of 3 ratmen standing. They are partially covered with furs, and have very ugly faces compared to human standards. Dressed in rags, but holding dangerous short swords. Their facial expression shows beastly agression and perhaps madness.

"Give all items," their leader says. "Or we kill."

>DEF UP: for one hour, Ayame and Bacon gain a +3 RS bonus to defense.

>>4348163
Abigail leaves the ghost of Shi behind and she travels alone to the Eldritch Express. She feels anxious from walking the streets alone at dusk, but she has no choice. If she wants to survive, Shi has to survive. She tries to communiate more with Ishtar, but she gets no answers.

She reaches the train and climbs inside of it. Hero WIlliam is there. She ignores him so that there won't be any awkward moment. He's made clear he wants her to "learn to survive without him", that is, he hates her. She came here for AnonKnight. What were the odds that he's a priest of Aphrodite, exactly like her. In fact, AnonKnight became a follower of Aphrodite because he didn't know what god to worship, and he simply copied Abigail. As you can deduce from this fact, AnonKnight has a low Wisdom score, so he's even more worthless than Abigail as a priest.

"Will you help me to revive Shi Hito?" she asks. "I will do anything you request of me."

They both walk to the demonologist house. In an alternate life, AnonKnight was a shadow demon, so he feels at home in this environment.

"What am I supposed to do?" AnonKnight asks. "You've only taught me how to use the Charm spell."

"Haha." she laughs nervously. "Well, I don't really know how to explain. Just, like, imagine you are sucking his soul back into the body, and then, somehow, he can walk again."

"Do you think I should remove Chase's head from his ribcage?"

"Yes, you should. Maybe that's why the spell didn't work earlier."

AnonKnight grabs Chase's head by the hair and throws it away. Mark's balloon dog begins chasing it. Then, he sits in the lotus position on the floor and concentrates on reviving Shi. The ghost of Shi is watching him, that's a lot of pressure.

"REVIVE!"

Shi's body parts gather together. They float in the air and slowly fit together, like the pieces of the puzzle. Fuck. I should have removed his dick first, Abigail thinks. Too late, now. The entire body has been recomposed, and the last piece, the head, slowly inserts itself at the top, like a crown. Shi opens his eyes. H's alive. He checks if he's not missing any body part, but it seems that everything is fine.

Squiddly the High Priest recites an elaborate prayer to his god, Kek. It should be noted that due to his extremely high Wisdom score, and being a member of both the Kek Foundation and the Kek's Adventurer's guild, Squiddly should be referred to as High Priest rather than just Priest.

“Oh Kek, patron of anons, shield me from this manipulative thot, so that I may keep myself pure from her allures and to keep my mind sharp to preach your word.”

「Mind Shield」Squiddly summon a shield made of thought stuff, that protects the inside of his mind from charm spells. It works as a sphere of iron and mirror tnat absorbs charm energies and direct it to his subconscious, where it will be recycled into the next dream. If Squiddly were to be targetted by such spell, it would only result in him having strange dreams.

Mark puts the box inside his bag.

Mark begins singing Kyrie Eleison by Hatsune Miku. He has training as a singer. WIth the importance of his current task, he does his best performance. Hatsune Miku's voice is impossibly high-pitched, so Mark lowers the pitch to adapt it to his own voice. Squiddly cleverly records it on his phone.

>Can you be more specific Looney, the girl isn't here.

"ワンワン!"

Looney is too happy that Mark is giving him attention. He runs downstairs to the basement. It's only a few seconds since he's gone, and he begins whining. Something's wrong! An old bearded man enters the room, holding Looney in his hands.

"What a formidable creature that is. I was not aware of Master Égéphiar expecting new guests. Who might you be?"

He scans Mark and Squiddly with his eyes. Looney is trying to free himself, but the old man's grip is too strong. His body is mostly made of air, so he does not have much strength, even the wind can blow him away.

"I like the creature, I think I might keep it for myself as a fee for your intrusion. I will name it Braz'Thaath."

Looney gets very angry. He doesn't want to have this ugly name! He redoubles his efforts to free himself.

Mark ignores him. He takes the box out of his bag, and uses his clown vision to look what's inside the box. But the magical vision does not help much. He knows that he can unveil illusions, but not see through matter.

>Mind Shield: Squiddly is immune to charm spells for one hour.

>Honkler: Mark gains a +1 RS offensive and charm bonus for the next round

Shi-kun is fast and can use his Shadow Step and Teleports Behind You so he's most likely a fast guy or can fuck his with powers somehow. Shi-kun still has his body and guns and bullets are fast, but Ki can block bullets. Not to likely he's skilled and I heard no gun shots. He's most likely just a teleporter or a speedster."

>"Give all items," their leader says. "Or we kill."

I use my intuition to try to try to find a hiding spot if I don't and Bacon doesn't run or give a command I hold out the shield, get into my fighting stance and shine my phone's flashlight on the one that talked's eyes.

I use my intuition to get info on the rats!
If one aims for me I witch time (reflex) and aim for the ribcage to strike the lung.

"Make a shield!" Behind it I cut cloth from the khaki pant legs and make a spear with the knife and staff if I have any time.

"Get behind me. Use your cheat now." I ordered hoping he will sneak attack a ratman.

Bacon got any better ideas?

>>4349550
Two more ratmen climb up from the sewage waters and appear behind Sir Bacon and Ayame. That's a total of five enemies. The situation is getting more dangerous.

「Intuition」Ayame perceives that the rats seem to be scared of them. They must probably resent the humans who have pushed them to live in those disgusting sewers. They probably have a long history of being persecuted by human society.

Ayame shine her phone's flashlight into Sir Bacon's eyes. He's blinded and can't see anything! Why did she do that!

"What are you doing?" the ratman inquires. He knows that the light is harmless, but he doesn't understand its nature.

The young druidess ignores him. She takes a strip of the khaki pant legs and use it to tie up her knife with Mimni's wooden staff. It forms a sort of spear of dubious impact strength as it's only help together by a piece of cloth.

"Get behind me," she tells the frail Sir Bacon.

He complies.

"Make a shield!"

「Fear Shield」Sir Bacon channels his fear into a solid, black wall of energy around him. The shield is impure, tainted by a feeling of faint hope, but it is 99% solid.

「Emotional Whisper」He then sends Wade an emotional message of fear, excitement, faint hope, and a hint of bitterness.

>>4349694
Shi says to Abigail:

>Good job reviving me I'll have to reward you later.
"Just acknowledge me as a great priestess. I have proven my worth too many times, now. I even thought of bringing your items along with your remains."

The Edgelord is now speaking to the ghouls:

>Do you remember what happend right before your death?
Mimni the Ghoul, answers: "Don't remember... death... Remember... life... My party.... where...? Koko cat... where....?"

>It was by my grace that you stand before me now.
"Shi... revive Mimni...? Many thank..."

The other ghouls say in chorus: "Many thank..."

>Do any of you have acess to the class you possessed
"Class...? Mimni... druid..."

She pulls down her bear hood.

"Summon daisy..."

She looks around, confused. Her magic did not work.

"Hungry..."

Mark gifts Squid with the power of clown vision. Squid is now possessed by a lucid madness which reveals the world's tricks and gags. He can now see that the old man Barbatos is not a human at all: he's a devil who has taken human shape! Barbatos has a red skin, clawed hands and feet, horns, a reptilian tail, and an evil, twitching beard. It is with pure hatred that he's looking at both of them.

Mark turns to the devil and to Looney. He apologizes for intruding and pretends to be a reporter.

"I am Barbatos. If you want to interview me, you will have to play the game."

GAME OF RIDDLE

>1) Each participant can ask Barbatos a riddle.
>2) The participant's riddle must be well-conceived and logical; nonsensical riddles will be rejected.
>3) If Barbatos cannot solve the riddle, he will agree to an in-length interview.
>4) However, if he can solve the riddle, he will ask a counter riddle.
>5) If the participant can answer Barbatos' riddle, then he will have an interview, as above.
>6) If the participant cannot answer the Barbatos' riddle, he will immediately be enslaved by Barbatos.

Barbatos summons a magical contract and a quill that will bind them to the game. If signed, the participants will be bound by the rules and magically forced to wear a slave collar that puts them under control of the devil.

>>4349650
「Message」Squiddly sends a magical Message to Wade: “Wade me and Mark need help: we have found what is likely the succubus’ den but what looks like an old fuck will likely try to kill us. We will keep him distracted, please make haste”

「Knowledge (Occultism)」Despite coming from a hellish creature, Squiddly is more or less certain that this type of contract is trustworthy.

>Honkler: Squiddly has Clown World vision for one turn

>>4349694
While Mark and Squiddly are speaking with Barbatos, Shi sits on Égéphiar's couch and begins studying the Mass Confusion scroll. The spell works like a thought algorithm which traps the thought into an endless loop, a maze of mirrors from which it cannot escape. The confused consciousness is stuck in a permanent, frightful mirage. He understands the working of the spell perfectly and copies it into his mage book.

>Shi has learned Mass Confusion

>AH FUCK MY EYES
>Dazed and squinting, I recognize the presence of more enemies at least
>This just went from bad to worse real fuggin quick

What happens next depends on what 「Fear Shield」 did. Did it wrap around us like a circular barrier, or did it project only towards the three ratmen in front of us?

If the former, Bacon is now completely forgotten by the enemies. The description of 「Anonymous」 states that I'm forgotten when I've left someone's sight, not their entire senses, so I can talk freely without them knowing I'm here (whether or not they hear words coming from seemingly nowhere isn't something I know)
>With a moment to breath, I turn to Ayame
"I sent a distress signal to Wade, but I don't know if he'll respond in time. You're pretty damn intuitive; do you think we'll have to fight our way through, or is there another way?"
>If Ayame shares the info about them being scared, that's information i can use to our advantage.
>On her signal, I psychically push and dissolve the fear wall towards the ratmen, and let the raw emotional energy engulf them, twisting and enhancing their fear to see us as something to run away from and not bother, rather then something to kill before we kill them first

If the latter, things are a bit tougher...the plan is fundamentally the same, but I'll have to also focus on defending from the two that can see me.
>I establish something to the two that can see me
"I don't wanna fight you, but if I give you my stuff, I'm as good as dead. If you let us pass, we won't be forced to hurt you."

note; all of Sir Bacon's visible/audible powers should come with David Production style JoJo/Fire Force sound effects. Partially because it's cool, and partially because I like the reverby/distorted nature of Stand sounds matching up with emotional magic

Sir Bacon and Ayame are wrapped inside of a circular Fear Shield. Sir Bacon cleverly concludes that he can use his 「Anonymous」 cheat to make the ratmen forget about his existence as soon as he has spoken. This allows him to speak to Ayame without his presence being remembered.

>all of Sir Bacon's visible/audible powers should come with David Production style JoJo/Fire Force sound effects
You can post the Youtube links so we can listen to them.

Ayame tries to use her natural instinct to send a telepathic message to Wade using synchronicities. She doesn't know if the message was sent, but she hopes for the best.

(Willpower for sending, Intuition for receiving.)

「Lazy Snake」>FOR MOST MY LIFE I THOUGHT I WAS USELESS AND WAS JEALOUS OF MEN LIKE YOU

Knowledge (/pol/):
The Earthian societal and religious push for "usefulness" is an ancient demonic trick to enslave people and make them work all day. The Babylonian slavers want good Goys who make shekels for them. In reality, with our current level of technology, everything is produced virtually for free. A tool is rated on its usefulness, but a human being should not evaluate its worth on the same scale as a mere tool. The NEETs who do what they want all day and develop their hobbies and knowledge are the heirs of the master race.


She unties her spear weapon and speaks to the rats.

>We are adventurers trying to save my friend! I don't you don't you down here! I'm enslaved and I will help you escape when I can if you don't fight! I need my stuff and will die without them!
"No, you give stuff or die!"

The two rats who were behind them jump through the Fear Shield. They seem to resist the nefarious emotional effect and jump on Ayame, attacking her with their swords. They have no idea who the person next to her is, so they spare his life, for now.

「Witch Time」What do they think they are doing! Ayame is the master of martial arts. When she's attacked, time slows down for her, and she can block all swords with her index finger, and then she has time to jump on the blade and keep her balance on it. From Ayame's weight, the blade is pushed down into the foot of another rat. He's badly wounded!

(Ayame gives no signal so Sir Bacon's last action is cancelled.)

Shi studies the spells Mass Fear and Rage. People are playing a game of riddle next to him, they are too loud, but he can ignore them. The scrolls contain many difficult sigils that are used for emotion-based magic, which Shi has difficulties to understand due to his strictly verbal mode of thought. The scrolls contain hyperdimensional translation matrices (mathematical matrix) to convert the emotions into language. The calculation is difficult, but Shi is a world-renown expert in mathematics so the operation is trivial for him. The writing on the two scrolls fade away.

Shi tries to also study the scroll of Detect Snares and Pits, but he's unable to. Divination magic is strictly restricted to priest classes. The writing stays on the scroll, meaning that the scroll hasn't been destroyed from his attempt.

>I try and find a monster that can teach me forbidden magic with my strange aeons cheat.
This knowledge is beyond the scope of Strange Aeons and requires a Forbidden Lore roll.

Lord Squiddly tries to remember facts about bearded devils from his home board, /tg/, but he remembers nothing. The knowledge is too specific and the creature not something commonly talked about on the board for him to remember.

With clown vision, he inspects if Barbatos has any weapon. Other than a vicious, saw-toothed glaive, he does not seem armed. Clown vision also reveals the presence of traps in the four corners of the ceiling, but Squiddly cannot determine what their nature is.

「Honkler」(Based on the picture:) Mark creates a whip made of balloon.

"Thanks for your sacrifice, Mark!" Squiddly says.

Mark signs the magical contract and recites a riddle in the obscure Filipino language.

"Hmm, how unexpected. How tricky of you. Hmm... COMPREHEND LANGUAGE!"

Barbatos' face is surrounded by a cloud of grey-colored interrogation marks. He has casted a spell that allows him to understand all languages to counter Mark's tricky usage of a foreign language.

"I see... Hmm... Que diable... Nice riddle... I say the answer is king cake..."

The devil looks at the clock and grins.

"Fifteen more minutes, and the slaves who didn't come back to the manor in time are going to die!"

@Mark: You now have to give the correct answer and explain it.

>"Wade-kun! We are about to die!"
"Send message to Shi-kun saying we need help and are being attacked." I whisper. "Maybe he can take over bodies, boost me, something. Send another to Wade-kun saying his soul is very powerful according to the demonologist and also boost the ratmen's fear and disgust."

I try using my intuition to find Wade and use it to sense his aura to see if he's okay.

If a ratmen attacks I witch time and aim for the knee on him.

"Push the Shield!!" If I didn't win we run and I grab Bacon's hand and if they catch us I give Bacon Koko and the knife, drop my bag hoping to get it back and hide Bacon.

Oh no, do you think Wade has forgotten about this thread?

I think he think he's dead in the game. Say in the op his death status and that Shi came back. It's not you.

Since the two ratmen within the shield are preoccupied with stabbing their buddy/being stabbed, I focus the shield's energy towards the other three and push it towards them, letting its energy wash over them.

I turn to Squiddly and say "I revived some adventurers who we're killed down in Lower Quarter, It's a pretty violent place. I'm gonna be their party leader for now since they have no other place to go as zombie dogs. We went here seeking knowledge on how to bind a demon, Anamye and Wade got themselves enslaved in one of the games, and now we're working for demonologists for their freedom and knowledge."

Ho-lee-fuck I've been busy as fuck for the last two days, my mobile charger stopped functioning, and my laptop froze in a BIOS update. Give me a minute to catch up and I'll try to get in where we left off, can I still burn the dual blessings? Literally, I'm thinking about setting the cinnamon bun on fire as a last-ditch offering to avoid damnation/appease the entity my finger snapping may have offended. I did something almost identical once to prove I wasn't a pussy several years ago, it wasn't difficult at the moment or immediately afterward but the recovery was a bitch.

Ayame drops her bag and gives Bacon Koko the cat and the JSDF combat knife. Then she grabs his hand and they sprint away as fast as they can. Sir Bacon throws a glance behind him and tries to push his Fear Shield into the ratmen, so as to slow them down, but the shield remains motionless. Magic is always unreliable. The ratmen are chasing them. They are running too fast! They are trying to hit Ayame in the back but she dodges everything by jumping above the blades, her blacked, rotten, insectoid arms stretched in the air.

「Buffed Up」The rotten girl follows her heart to find Wade. She has absolutely no idea where he is, nor does she know if this works at all. It is intuition at its rawest.

They run through the foul-smelling tunnels. This is the dirtiest place in the world, feces are floating on a river next to them. And now, they are out of breath. They arrive to a small chapel where Wade is meditating on an altar. They don't enter, or the rats are going to trap them inside. Ayame yells to Wade that they must run. She drops her shield and staff to be lighter, and then sprints toward the manor.

「Buffed Up」In her exceptional memory, Ayame has a stored a perfect map of the sewers.

She makes a final jump and passes through the rusty door leading to the manor's basement. She's made it alive for today.

>>4351377
Shi grows a new memory tumor in his hippocampus with knowledge about dimensional shamblers. The repeated growth of tumors is beginning to make him dizzy, and his nose is bleeding.

「Call Dimensional Shambler」A dimensional shambler is attracted to the Material Plane by sacrificing two fresh human corpses at any time, day or night, preferrably under bright sunlight, with a dagger of pure, unalloyed metal, except bronze, preferably enchanted. The ritual only takes one hour to complete. The caster should draw a protective circle.

>I make a forbidden knowledge check to find a monster that can teach me forbidden magic.
Shi does not possess the Forbidden Lore skill.

「Memory」Shi remembers that several of his party members mentioned having knowledge of Forbidden Lore.

Squiddly says:

>Mr Barbatos, please release the dog and put away your weapon
"You have no right to ask anything of me until you play the game of riddle!"

He's visibly irritated by Squiddly's request, and tightens his grip on Looney.

Mark says:
>But before I can start can you swear you would answer as honestly as you can
"Of course. You have won that right by proving your superiority at the game of riddles."

When Mark speaks, Barbatos calms down.

>Does having a succubus help with that?
"Yes, it does. Having a succubus helps with the slave management. As an avatar of lust, she has control over all human males, or at least, most of them. She's impossible to resist."

>Or does the riddle game supplement you with enough dullards to clean this place?
"The riddle game is a rare game that we play to resolve conflict with intruders. Any uninvited guest who invades a home is a potential murderer. With a battle of wits from which both parties can benefit, an enemy becomes an ally. But this certainly not an effective method of gaining new slaves."

A party of employees and slaves come up from the basement. Shi's ghouls try to eat them, so they quickly leave to various rooms.

question before i do an action; did Wade and I follow Ayame? I would have followed her if possible, and it seemed like we were a group

>>4352014
I'm still in the shrine as far as I'm aware but depending on whether this fiery gambit pays off that could very likely change in a hurry.
>>
>>4352045
Also, I'd have left immediately upon getting the messages if not for the beams and feeling of dread when I entered the shrine. Leaving quickly could have dire consequences, not only to me but the group/city, depending on how serious what I'm stirring up is.

>My memory sucks ass, I can't get out of here without help, so I have to stand my ground!
With both determination and desperation fueling me in my fight for survival, enhanced by my own emotional magics. I draw my polypropylene katana. Even though it's blunt, its extra reach and my own magic should prove useful.

"What made you decide to take local girls for slaves though isn't that troublesome enough because I've always thought it would end with pitchforks and torches.

I suspected the demonologist was involved but after the failed charm spell I talked to the succubus extensively and found that she's a lazy, spoiled hedonist who claims to be a princess of hell. I don't think they're the kidnapping succubus but she did leave on 'business in town' which is sketchy. I think she wants in my pants, which is something we can leverage if we want to stage an ambush. Zaelhya is a terrible person, to be honest, but that comes with the territory with succubi. Erinyes are superior, in my opinion and there's some theorizing that they're fallen angels because of their wings and dissimilarity to other devil-types, which is interesting.

I'd want to know what's going on too and gain a fuckton of paranoia about the other party members in the process. If the cinnamon bun sacrifice or ensuing negotiation goes south my situation's likely FUBAR and I would recommend running in the opposite direction if there are any strange noises. If I survive, unholy/eldritch/old god powers or no, I'll come out swinging and won't be leaving the party for some time. I don't know what niche I fill in the party at the moment, dex-fighter leaning toward lore-bard with some niche skill-monkey bits and a dip in barbarian? I don't even know where my alignment falls on the Lawful-Chaotic spectrum, but my altruism aside, I'm almost certainly some variation of Evil at this point. To be honest, I look forward to seeing the character development and progression of everyone else more than my own, I don't intend to go it alone, I'll be doing what I can to support the rest of the party. The ratmen attack/Shi-Chase double-kill was unexpected and I took the opportunity of the dark shrine when it arose.

Look forward to seeing it more than the results of my own actions, that is. The interplay and reactions from everyone to what everyone else is doing is the most fun part of the quest, in my opinion, the anime shenanigans/rampant meta-faggotry/uberhigh fantasy is just icing on the cake.
>>
>>4352509
I feel like we're in the same boat here lmao, this is my first big /qst/ and it's a hell of a ride
My goal is to find a balance between trying to grow stronger and more magical like you would in a typical fantasy while also roleplaying the idea of me being thrown into this bullshit world with a bunch of other anons, some of whom seem to have succumbed to their own power fantasy
but the team play is making this for me so far, can't wait to see what happens when we get the whole squad together
>>
>>4352509
I'm pretty sure your going to die, it was 15 minutes before dusk a turn ago, unless turns are less then 7 minutes and 30 seconds long you should be dying about now.
>>
>>4352521
yeah but it'd be more fun/interesting if he didn't die, and had to live with the consequences of his actions
>>
>>4352521
also i think turns vary in length based on the actions taken, if the whole party was in one fight together a turn might only be a few dozen seconds, or it could last hours if we're investigating/shopping/exploring/doing whatever bullshit
>>
>>4352190
that's only if i can evade all of their lines of sight, also i didnt think of it and no takebacks on actions
fuck
>>
>>4352520
Agreed.

>>4352521
Bro we're in the basement of the mansion, I came back before dusk and if that's what the Intuition roll was for Ayame would be- Fuck. The basement of the mansion doesn't qualify as part of the mansion? Oh shit, oh fuck, you're right, it isn't kosher. You're fucking right, fuck. I already doubled-down with the blessings, maybe I'll have time to negotiate something, I assumed the imminent death was related to the black beams surrounding me when I entered the shrine, wasn't exaggerating about that Wisdom score. Yeah I'm probably fucked, should've analysed the implications in more depth. That's on my own ass though, I'll own up to it.

>>4352522
>>4352524
>internal consistency and precedent > fun/interesting
My own retardation led to the predicament, if I die, I'll have been asking for it and likely leave an interesting as shit death scene behind. We still aren't aware of the magic collars' execution method, there's always that 1% I'll survive with a fried brain/sundered soul/shattered skeleton.
>>
>>4352538
Oh shit I forgot about the collars

Yeah you might be fuggin dead
>>
>>4352538
I'm about 99% sure it's an explosive collar because that's the anime default, in which case my odds of survival are Impossible at best. Fair is fair though, if I wasn't drowning in my autism I'd have had a decent chance to escape and resurrection after something so freakishly heinous would be a major copout.
>>
>>4352551
I'd be satisfied with that though, it's all on me and there are plenty of worse ways to do. I'm arguably not fully lucid at the moment, so I likely won't know it hit me. There's also the slim chance of a last-second entity/Barbatos/Zaelhya ex machine but that's almost certainly a worse fate than death. On the upside, if I become a ghost I could always try to possess Sir Bacon's kukri or some furniture but being a demonologist, I'm certain our captor would've had a contingency for collecting/destroying the souls of disloyal slaves.
>>
>>4352565
>possess a kukri literally soaked in raw anxiety energy
that may not be good for your soul, but it could also be your one shot, assuming demonic items attract souls or something
>>
>>4352565
>ex machina, fug
I bet this is hysterical from QM Wuxian's perspective, it's not like he didn't drop half a dozen hints and this is hardly arbitrary, I had plenty of forewarning. Looking forward to seeing how this update goes. Should be amusing to explain to Egéphiar. Looking forward to the next turn. If there's enough of a body left, I give full permission for use in eldritch/necromantic experimentation.
>>
>>4352571
Or Ayame's cellphone, for that matter, depending on how weeb we want to devolve, but I imagine my bundle of psychosis would be better off in a blade than something with overt communicative capacity. This is all just spitballing on my end, I can't say I wasn't more than adequately warned beforehand.

Also I didn't notice >>4351720 so there's honest-to-Kek no excuse here. It's a textbook magical darwin award and I'm laughing my ass off.

This is all OOC discussion, it'd be confusing if I didn't distinguish between the two, and the parentheses thing for OOC discussion is annoying for some reason I can't adequately put into words.

"Hehehehahahahaghaghagh!"

「Clinical Autism」Now in a deep state of autistic psychosis >>4352442, Wade has lost the little lucidity he possessed >>4352565. His friends outside are telling him that he's going to die if he doesn't return to the manor, but he cannot hear them. All of his senses are blocked to the outside world. He's in a phase called autistic self-stimulation. He begins drooling and rocking his body back and forth.

"This is horrific and inexcusable, we must offer our apologies. The precious..."

The smell of cinammon and burned bacon intensifies. He's burning everything for the immaterial entity to taste. Wait, where's the smell of bacon from? Wade was in a state of awakened dream, but he now enters fully a nightmare of pastries and elder horrors. He failed to return to the manor before dusk, so the slave collar kills him. There was no way to escape such a strong magical pact. No one knows exactly how he dies in the physical realm.

(Action gain entity's favor cancelled.)

Sir Bacon wisely chose to follow Ayame and flee from the rats. He's now in the manor's living room with everyone.

>Sorry about being back here, Mr...Barbatos, was it?
"And you are...? I do not remember us getting acquainted."

SIr Bacon asks to pay for a spare room,.
"This is not a hotel. If you are not part of Young Master Shi's entourage, I'm asking you to leave immediately."

Sir Bacon leaves the residence and wanders the streets in the darkness. The mendicants are more aggressive in their begging than at day time. They touch him with their hands or claws, begging for food and water. One of them attaches himself to Sir Bacon's ankle while lying on the floor, and lets himself be dragged around. Sir Bacon understands the dangerosity of the Lower Quarter for a wealthy man in possession of a katana.

He enters into the first inn that he finds. This is the Inn-Morgue, adjacent to the Morgue proper. It's a cold, stone building decorated with bones and other materials from the dead. The innkeeper is dressed in dark grey robes, his face his not visible. For an inn, the place is rather clean, if not a bit dusty.

Bacon

Inn-Morgue

>>4352163
Abigail tries to cast Tiger's Willpower, but she fails. She gives up and sits on the floor next to AnonKnight to exchange knowledge about Ishtar.

「Tiger's Willpower」Shi the Death Eater casts on himself Tiger's Willpower. An astral tiger roars in his mind. The mental shift is perceptible. He feels more determined, his thoughts are clearer and more focused. It's as if the mud that entangled his mind had been cleansed.

He then tries to summon the Necronomicon, a blasphemous text written by the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred. But of course, summoning a major artifact is not that easy, so nothing happens.

Ayame sees the handsome Shi studying wizardry.

"Mother Fucking Fuck! I thought you where eaten!"

「Adrenaliized Mind」In Shi's presence; she feels adrenalized, if not troubled. Although her power reservoir is currently dry, she feels more powerful in the presence of cute boys.

"I'm going to try to contact Wade."

Ayame attempts to project astrally so as to contact Wade. She enters a state of deep meditation and harmonizes her vibrations with the vibrations of the Astral Plane. But she feels empty and her mind feels weak. She feels that she cannot accomplish anything.

「Buffed Up」She gets the feeling that Wade didn't make it and is no longer alive. His energic signature is dead, he only sends screeching in a loop.

This is unknown.

>Speaking of succubus where is yours?
"I do not have a succubus. I suppose you mean Master Égéphiar's succubus. I actually don't know where she went. We are of equal rank, hence she does not report to me. If I were to guess, at this time of the night, she's probably running her business. But how is this subject relevant to Cozy Lairs?"

>What made you decide to take local girls for slaves?
"Master Égéphiar has taken this decision alone. I do not know his motives, nor do I question them. I am a mere slave, myself."

>I've always thought it would end with pitchforks and torches.
"I doubt it very much. History has proven that peasant revolutions never succeed."

>But between you and me, what's is your real name Barbatos.
"Barbatos is my real name. I don't feel embarrassment about my nature. Do you feel embarrassment about yours?"

「Intuition」Mark feels that all of Barbatos' responses are truthful.

"I have this idea for an article where those who are unhappy with their contracts reveal how to break them and offer a reward. Think of it as the quest board in the adventure guild but in paper."

"Oh forgive me, we have this trope back home where devils have real names and when mentioned either banishes them or summons them...."
>I stare him in the eyes
"Barbatos! *chuckles Sorry I can't help it"

"The flesh sculpture out in the front, does it do anything? I dont really see any "glaring" defense mechanism, if you cant tell that was compliment."


I cast an auditory whisper illusion to every isekai member in the room.

"Someone should start doing something before I run out of shit to talk about. And if you aren't still up to speed the Succubus that we are after is the one currently employed in this house. Here's our options, Clean up now while we've got the numbers, then set up "surprise" or wait for all of hell to be in attendance and fail. Nod if you're game for now, fuck off for wait"

It's called a red herring. The only thing you know is that a daughter went missing and it leads back to here. These guys do kidnap and enslave people, so it could have just been that instead of it being the succubus. Their succubus could be putting people into prostitution, but there's not enough evidence yet to suggest so, in fact, there's plenty of evidence to suggest she wouldn't. I say we get our facts straight before attacking random people especially when those people have an army of slaves ready at their command.

>S: "I'm pretty sure he would want me to revive him."
I whispered: "Will he keep his class and cheat tho? Ask him if he has any trips (OOC he has 3) and tell him to use them for saving his powers."
I turn to Barbatos and smile!
"Master Barbatos why are you friend with Master Egéphiar where you childhood friends? Did you read demon books together and said let's summon demons! I which more peeps my age could read. We play video games now."

You appear in a hallway you've never seen before.
A featureless male figure made of cerulean energy stands before you carrying two blades.
You sense contrition and shame, as well as a desire to help.
You see a brief vision of a dark chapel with black benches and an overwhelming sense of hubris, as well as an imprint of the figure.

If you want to make the effort, feel free to take your pick, preferably whichever ritual has the least collateral damage but I won't complain. The Lovecraftian equivalents all have their up-and-downsides, though Deep Ones are a little tilted toward Dagon. I'm not too attached to my human form, if it's physical and capable of speech, I'm all for it. If the ritual calls for a single corpse, I don't figure there's any reason you couldn't use mine.

>>4353149
If you want to bring my soul back into another body, it might be wise to keep a finger or something else, a symbolic connection could ease a ritual greatly. Alternatively, you could always try to summon a weak monster and I'd attempt to possess it. Hmm. For that matter, if a ghost possesses a ghoul, does the ghoul's body keep the ghost's class skills/abilities? Of course we don't know if eldritch resurrection is possible, might be worth doing some research before letting my carcass get omnomnom'd, otherwise it could complicate things.

The death was almost immediate but the circumstances leading up to it were... sketchy. A pentegram and self-mutilation were involved but I assure you I wasn't trying to summon a demon, just the avatar of a forgotten god so I could try to haggle the branding of my chest with its sigil for a pittance of power. Got carried away, shit's fucked brahs but if I wasn't retarded and lost track of time there wouldn't be a problem to begin with. Don't make resurrecting me your number one priority, my dumbass can sleep as long as it needs to. Help yourselves to the cinnamon buns and anything you can loot from the bag there.

"WTF a Dark God! That's what how to you were trying to double class!? Motherfucker! If we can hear you and enter the astral plane can you train us tomorrow? If you have any trips use them to them to keep your class and cheat please. I will help you become a warlock later. Shi-kun wants me to teach him how to summon an entity to teach his ass forbidden magic. This may save you, man! I think a speedster or teleporter with ki killed Shi-kun. Tell our party that! I will get your finger."

"Right, shit you weren't there for that. So when I failed the riddle game with the demonologist and was slave collared, he summoned a succubus to charm me unconscious so she could rape me in my dream to prove a point to Shi. That didn't work because apparently I'm either strong-willed or mentally disabled enough to ignore a succubus, possibly both, and she confessed she had the hots for me afterward. Supposedly that kind of resistance is extremely rare and as far as I know has nothing to do with my cheats or class."

"I made a four- FOUR(!)- fruit cobbler for her from in their kitchen while trying to get some information, but she didn't tell me anything except she was bored with Hell and happens to be a demonic princess, which makes sense, because everything I heard or saw from her indicated she was spoiled as fuck. Her name is Zaelhya, with purple hair and a constant sweet-tooth, she's in the employ of the demonologist and extremely dangerous with a whip. Keep an eye out, if you're at risk of getting flayed mention my name and that should buy you a couple of seconds. I'm warier of her than Barbatos, because at least he isn't arbitrary. Thanks man, that's a huge weight off my shoulders. Sleep tight, and I'm not just saying that because you're in a coffin."

>>4353330
"I was going to attempt to summon an aspect of the Slime Lord but I stumbled on an unholy shrine to an unknown deity and figured it was a better idea to summon an aspect of them than step on any toes, tentacles, or esoteric appendages. All I know is that they probably aren't associated with self-mutilation or blood, and that was trial and error. Be careful, there's a lot more that can go wrong than right. I would know. Stay safe and do anything you can to get free, but I wouldn't recommend my personal method."

>>4353412
To be fair, I expected him to actually experiment with the corpse, like I said, fill it with eldritch corruption, see if he can manage anything with sorcery, etc., not immediately sacrifice and destroy it. Especially when there are other alternatives, such as any one of the bodies likely littering the streets of the slum outside. I'm not too optimistic, but my soul's intact and I'd be surprised if there wasn't any forbidden spell for summoning a hollow eldritch body for a soul. Chase doesn't really have a body left to resurrect and he's allegedly no worse off than I am.

I'm seeing if your will be resurrected in the form of a Dimesinoal Shambler or not. If not then I will move on to the next test to see if I can put your soul into a ghoul.
>>
>>4353457
That makes sense, but the Dimensional Shambler has a consciousness of its own that's likely extremely resistant to possession, given that they're explicitly eaters of souls. It seems extremely risky experiment to start out with, also because if it eats my corpse that throws out any chance of conventional resurrection, whereas if we used a different corpse the option would still be open.

>>
>>4353557
A Ghoul is a reanimated human that craves human flesh, a Dimensional Shambler is a monster from another dimension that consumes human flesh and souls. The odds of it destroying the body are astronomically higher than the bodies shapeshifting into the Dimensional Shambler, especially since the summoning ritual calls for two bodies instead of a single one. I appreciate everything you're trying to do, it's just that how you're going about it just makes me nervous as shit. We shouldn't test a dangerous hypothesis with a resource we can't replace.

Sir Bacon pays one silver, and is brought to his bedroom. It looks like a stone burial chamber. The walls are painted with half-erased paintings of samurais fighting. In the center of the room, there's a sarcophagus with a mattress and pillows on top of it. In a corner, incense is burning to ease the sleep. He hasn't eaten anything so he's hungry, but he'll have to wait. Included in the price is a vegetarian breakfast the next morning.

Sir Bacon flops onto his sarcophagus and falls asleep. A faint, haunting music is playing. He dreams of a powerful kensei who's holding two swords, including a REAL katana. (See here for Sir Bacon's dream >>4353248).

>Quest Added: Spirit of a Kensei

>>4352978
Mark continues his interview.

>What are your duties for Mr. Egephiar?"

"My duties are very simple. I am Mister Égéphiar's butler, I run the manor in his absence."

>Are you happy with your current contract?

"The concept of happiness is alien to me. It seems to be a way the humans cope with their dreadful and pathetic existence."

>I have this idea for an article where those who are unhappy with their contracts reveal how to break them and offer a reward.

"This is not a good idea for an article. To my knowledge, a magical contract cannot be broken."

>The flesh sculpture out in the front, does it do anything?

"It is a work of art summoned directly from Hell. When someone particularly annoys Master Égéphiar, they are added to the sculpture. You see, it is made of the souls and bodies of particularly annoying intruders. They suffer from their new grotesque form and the permanent proximity to each other. A classical design."

「Illusory Whisper」Mark sends a whisper to the rest of the team to call for action. The whisper is only heard by those who are part of his legally registered party.

「Kek's Whisper」Squiddly whispers that he'll prepare something.

Ayame asks:

>Master Barbatos why are you friend with Master Egéphiar
"I don't have time to chat, I'm having an interview right now."

Immediately after he said that, Squiddly asks:
>Mr Barbatos, if I may ask, is that blade of internal craftsmanship?
"I TOLD YOU! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO ASK ME ANYTHING UNTIL YOU PLAY THE GAME OF RIDDLE!"

His eyes are burning with fire, he's visibly getting aggravated.

>>4353149
>Do you know if the succubus kidnaps and then prostitutes out women?
When Shi speaks to him, Barbatos calms down.

"Yes, she does. She kidnaps young, useless women and then she teaches them what they can learn of their art. It's an honor for them to learn an art from Hell. A lot of men visit and enjoy her brothels, she's done a lot of good work for the community."

>I hope that succubus isn't Master Égéphiar's
"Of course, the succubus is Master Égéphiar's. She's helped you run the black mass, don't you remember? It's unfortunate there's a quest to capture her, the Adventurer's Guild are a bunch of power-hungry, misogynist trash."

>I need some supplies for another ritual could I turn in some good boy points for them
"You have been a very good boy indeed. I will bring you the supplies."

He walks outside and brings back a mendicant, holding him firmly by the wrist. He throws on the floor. The man's face is ravaged by disease, he looks disgusting and smells very bad. Maids are bringing chalk and a sacrificial knife to Shi.

"You can kill this trash to have a fresh body."
>>
>>4353632

Before leaving, Shi grows more brain tumors with summoning knowledge. Each new tumor causes him to feel more dizzy.

「Summon Deep One」At the edge of a salwater ocean or sea during the hours of darkness, the ritual consists of throwing specially inscribed stones or jewelry into the water. The caster must then cut the flesh of his sacrifice with a knife, allowing the blood to fall in the water. Preferably, the caster keeps his feet immersed in salt water, and carries either a Deep One Talisman or the Crown of Dagon.

「Summon Spider of Leng」The ritual must be performed in a dark forest or underground. This requires the caster to enter a lucid dream state and have an assistant sacrifice fifty fresh human corpses. In the lucid dream, the caster must trace an extremely complex thaumaturgical circle and open a portal between the dream world and his home dimension.

Shi walks to the basement and into the sewers, followed by Abigail, AnonKnight and the three ghouls. His brain tumors are hurting him and his nose bleeds from time to time. He's trying to find Wade, but now that he thinks about it, he has no idea where he could be. Even worse, he doesn't remember where the chapel he performed the black mass in is. The sewers are like a maze. He walks and walks and finds himself lost. The ghouls are growing impatient and repeatedly express their hunger. They've only had one slave to eat so far, and this is not sufficient.

(Last actions cancelled due to not reaching desired location.)

Skipping one night of sleep does not have consequences. But if you skip more then I'll give you a fatigue penalty.

As for timeskip, it is collective, shared time. I don't know how Minecraft works but yes, everybody must sleep for a timeskip to occur.

「Charm Person」Shi, charming as always, casts his favorite spell on the three ghouls. The threads of energy enters their nostrils. Shi feels exhausted from casting the spells, his lungs are burning as if he had been doing intense physical exercise.

Shi says to the ghouls:

>Look I can get you each 2 human corpses
"Thaaaaanks, Master Shi..."

Thaaaaanks...."

Abigail chants:

"Your humble servant calls you, Mighty Goddess Aphrodite. Please heal this vile creature with the power of your love."

Her gentle magical aura wraps around Shi's head and heals some of the tumors. Shi retains the knowledge from the tumor as it's now stored inside of his normal, humanoid memory.

AnonKnight tries to cast the new spell "Guiding Light", as described by Shi, but he fails. He feels confused and asks Abigail for advice, but she tells him that she doesn't know that spell either. AnonKnight sits on the floor and meditates to clear his mind and hopes the answer will come to him.

Shi tries to remember his way out of the sewers, but he really has no idea where they are. He decides to follow his guts and takes a few turns. AnonKnight, seeing that he's left behind, runs to catch up with his group. Shi's intuition is correct and they reach the rusty door which is the entrance to Égéphiar's basement.

Ayame asks Barbatos:

>May I please use my Pretty Princess Points to get a potion of Ether
"You have only earned enough PPP to get one meal. A potion of ether is a rather rare, expensive item. You will need about one week's worth of work to buy one."

>Master Egéphiar was so kind to be today
"This is good to hear. Your contract with Master Égéphiar should not last too long, as it is expected that Young Master Shi completes all of his quests. In the end, it will be interesting to see if he uses his Good Boy Points for knowledge or to free you. He has much to gain from both. On one hand, knowledge from Master Égéphiar could increase Shi's personal power, but Shi also gains immense power from having you in his party."

>May I ask please what time may I go out tomorrow and what's part of the mansion Master
"Yes. You may leave at a dawn. Also, you have your own bedroom in the mansion. As for your question about what's part of the mansion, it's everything past the flesh wall, the backyard doors, or the rusty door in the basement. Those are the only three entrances."

Mark tells Barbatos:

>You can be angered but not happy? Interesting....
"Yes, that's correct. Humans and demons are very different in nature, so we feel a different range of emotions."

>Are you and the succubus the only demons currently under Mr Egephiar?
"Mr. Égéphiar has many demons working for him, it's part of his class. But we are the only demons working for him in this town."

>You're a Warlock, what are the five best things to summon out of hell this season.
"We are in a political time of change, so I would think that you need to summon extremely competent and smart devils. I would recommend bearded devil as first choice and I would not choose anything for the next four."

>Do you know when will the Succubus arrive? I'd love to include here in this conversation
"Our contract only includes you and me for the interview. I doubt the succubus would create a magical contract, she's more into invading people's dreams and taking what she wants directly. Her attitude is of course commendable in its usage of power, but I feel it lacks refinement."

>It was a pleasure chatting with you
"Likewise".

He shakes Mark's hand and gives him back Looney.

"I hope to read the interview soon."

Mark and Squiddly leavef the Lower Quarter and back in direction of the Adventurer's Guild.

「Wisdom」Squiddly meditates on the subject of the fleshy walls and consults his Kek Consciousness in the Akashic Records. He finds the information that drawings holy symbols on the wall would not accomplish anything. He's unable to determine what the effect of holy symbols is on demonic creatures.

The mendicants bother them but not as bad as Sir Bacon; at least, they do not cling to them physicall. They enter the Adventurer's Guild building and request a bedroom. As they are both of B rank, which is a high rank, they are allowed to sleep in the dorms for free. The guild dorms is made of several bunk beds where the high-ranked adventurers can sleep for free. In short, Mark and Squiddly are sort of "nobility" among the guild members.

THE HUNT
>1) The participant has three days to kill Solana, mistress of the local Kek's Adventurer's Guild.
>2) For each supplementary member of the guild killed, he will earned "good boy points".
>3) The two new slaves will be allowed to help him in the game, but they must return to the demonologist's mansion each day before dusk. If they don't return, the slave collar with kill them.
>4) If the participant succeeds, he will earn either a) freedom for one of the two slaves; b) an answer to any question, that the demonologist will answer to the best of his knowledge.

Sparing the succubi doesnt do anything Shi, and I dont have any questions to ask. You just want your power grab.
>>
>>4354627
Your missing the point, Égéphiar has control of the guild's second in command. Once Solana is dead, the guild's former second in command, will be in charge of the whole guild. Égéphiar will need the quests to kill his succubus removed/"completed", so he will make up a story and have somone (most likely one of his connections) rewarded for the quest. That person could be you.
>>
>>4353637
I had my suspicions and now they've been confirmed. There can be no doubt that the succubus is behind the kidnapping and prostitution ring. All we have to do is collect its head and then we'll be cooking with crisco, but the problem is they're tied to the demonologist who has a dangerous amount of influence. If we whacked her we could expect demonic reprisal, not to mention that she's a master of the whip proficient enough to decapitate a man at ten paces, as seen with Chase. She'd be a dangerous fight and if she didn't go down immediately, there's a guarantee she'd charm one of the party to fight the rest. If I were alive, her t h i r s t would simplify things but we have to play with the cards we've been dealt. An ambush is reasonable but if it's going to end in anything but a painful demise it has to be smart. I'd suggest summoning her with the expectation of sweets to ensure she isn't on-guard, then surprising her with a triple smite from the priests, Miyashita, Abigail, and Squiddly, followed by everyone that can hold a weapon before she has time to react. It's risky but doable and slants the odds in our favour.

>>4354609
We don't have to kill the succubus, but she's been kidnapping, brainwashing, and forcing women to prostitute themselves for the sake of her own hedonism. I don't have any sisters, daughters, or significant others, but if that happened to someone close to me there'd be hell to pay. She's taking normal women and turning them into damaged whores on an industrial scale because that's what succubi do, and that shit's not right. I'm dead so take it with a grain of salt but I don't think we should tolerate that, let alone aid and abet it.

>>4354641
If we go through with the assassination Égéphiar will effectively own the only institution keeping the slaver's guild and local occultists in check. Even if it's beneficial for us, the consequences for the city at large will be ruinous. The man makes a living trafficking souls into eternal damnation and you want to give him carte blanche to do it on a city-wide scale for the sake of a few favours and a moderate boost to personal power. I know you think nothing of lying to adventurers, (fuck the guild) reanimating their corpses into cannibalistic ghouls, and then massacring the homeless so you can feed them human flesh so they'll stay loyal instead of reverting to instinct and trying to rip your throat out, but that shit is fucked.

But didn't we agree that to find objective morality you need to gain as much power and knowledge as possible? Let's say murdering people is bad and saving people is good.

Question:

>>
>>4354683
Here's the plan

We will go to the meeting with Solana. The ghouls will be disguised as the humans they once we're and will pretend to be my guards. I will be disguised as James the Merchant. You will be disguised and be one of the guards. We will talk about the orcish problem and how it affects trading for about 10 minutes. I will then tell my Dimensional Shambler to start invading Solana's mind. She will easily resist this as preistess, but this gives us the opportunity to strike. The Ghouls will charge in an attack her and her guards when their distracted with the Dimensional Shambler. I'll teleport behind her and execute her. Once the guards and Solana are dead we will revive Solana as zombie. Then we will leave out a window using shadowstep and headback towards the mansion.

That's a fallacious argument, I never claimed that accumulating power to enforce objective morality was moral, I hypothesized it would be a good excuse to accumulate power, here >>4345156, and you responded by saying objective morality needed to be found and that forcing it on others who disagree might, paradoxically, be against the objective morality, here, >>4345180. There wasn't a mutual agreement on the nature of objective morality, whether it exists, and if so, whether it would be moral to enforce it to begin with, just threeway spitballing between us and Sir Bacon that ended with Barbatos condemning him without addressing the argument beyond his own alleged wrongdoing. I outlined my views here, >>4345263, I do not believe in objective morality insofar as there is only a single ethos that must be singularly applied to every culture and must be done so to ensure a cohesive society, only that individuals should do unto others what they would prefer to be done unto themselves. I agree, murdering people is 'bad' and saving people is 'good', however, you haven't saved anyone yet, only murdered four adventurers and soon to be attempted, a small crowd of homeless people whose only crime was begging because the cheap slave labour from the slaver's guild has put them out of work. By your own definition, not mine, that is 'bad' from a moral standpoint. Visea is a shithole by the standards of the wider setting, and aside from orcs in the wasteland who've been kept in check so far, there is no threat that would warrant the power you'd gain from the destruction of the city, though you don't intend to destroy it, you intend to hand it over to a demonologist who knowingly supports the succubus under his employ kidnapping and prostituting, presumably, otherwise sexually restrained women, because if they weren't they wouldn't require kidnapping and subsequent brainwashing to get into the business.

>>4354716
Yes, but she also wants to s u c c me which is worrying, given that I'm an intangible soul and succubi are known to devour them for power. I'm not too paranoid because she likely wants to get me to want to get involved to validate her depraved ego and not s u c c me outright, but she might get extremely frustrated or angry with Barbatos and the demonologist for letting her supposed boytoy get himself killed for not explaining the... Huh. Everyone, I think I've got an idea to soften the demons up before we make a move. If I can get Zaelhya to lash out at Barbatos without tripping her suspicion, odds are they wouldn't cooperate when one or the other was in danger, effectively halving their combat capacity. At the moment I'm levitating over my corpse, wishing I could consume the cinnamon bun.

Fuck. I should really make a pastebin character sheet, there's a lot that I wasn't able to fit in the paint doc. From a meta standpoint, I'd say my stats, strengths, and weaknesses feel like they'd be minmaxed if they weren't so inefficiently allocated. I probably have one of the lowest SAN scores in this thread, I've gone into similar fugue states as the altar before, though never in anything related to the occult, just that sort of monomaniacal trance. It's almost the default when I'm writing or doing manual labour for longer than ten minutes or so, conscious thought just shuts down and I can't stop what I'm doing barring extreme exhaustion or a severe external disruption but I think that's autism, not anything related to me, personally. Im starting to wish I'd rolled for two Cheats instead of taking a Class, but I'm quite happy with the Gladiator skillset.

True. I just feel like if you're going to be 'evil' you should own it, and not hide behind empty philosophy. Blackguards, archliches, and assassins are badass, they are also 'evil,' and in my subjective opinion, the best don't try to justify themselves to their 'good' opponents. I want to become a Warlock and hoard unholy power at the potential cost of ruinous corruption and/or my soul because I want to improve my combat potential and tactical versatility, and I haven't once tried to say it was something it wasn't.

You sit on the throne of wills, a top of the glistering ocean of the souls of your world, they flicker in the unseen void below resisting the future woven for them, but they have no chance. You are the scribe of fate, only guided by the chance of luck and your pen. your tome sits on your lap. Infinite as the stories you sewe for the creatures in your garden. You harvest the crops of entertainment with each creation and destruction.

Recently you gave a few of those fool lights no desteny more than their own, What a treasure you found in the pits they excavated in the search of more fuel for their lanterns... but all its not well. You observe in the distance a pyramid of ribs and arching bridges to the sky. You did not create that, this is the first time creation was out of your pen... and it fascinates you, you grab your book and begin giving it names , you try to change and add to its shape but it doesn't work,your tongue taste defeat for the first time . The unmovable interloper will not take away your hunger. and without teeth and tongue it bites to you in anger and frustration.
Its shape becomes more repugnant as you observe, the pulsing of stone is bluntly a mockery of your lights, you have own this world with only a pen and your might. The lantern of the souls are yours to shape and form. And the abomination stands in defiance, showing how the void has yearning of creation. But its creation usurps yours.

But how to take away its flesh?

I don't care if you want to assign yourself as 'evil' under the alignment system or not, or want to hoard power because I also do and would be a hypocrite to raise cain about that. My concern is the damnation of 'innocent', defined as those who would otherwise stay uninvolved in demonology, souls caused by allowing the demonologist to operate freely. Prior to my death, I intended to stop the demonologist from seizing control of the adventurer's guild, not because I care about its continued operation as I disdain the unionization of something that should be as free as adventuring, but because he intends to use it as a cover to facilitate the continued kidnapping of 'innocents' and smoothing over the process of pressganging them into prostitution/damning of their souls AND because he likely has a significant amount of occult lore sequestered in his manor that could improve my own knowledge of this setting's context considerably. I don't fear you Shi, my body is fundamentally nothing more than a vessel for my soul, if it's damaged or mutilated I can find another if it can't be healed through high fantasy shennanigans, and the continued existence of my soul, while preferable, is irrelevant to me, because if it's consumed I won't have a consciousness capable of comprehending what happened and therefore, subjectively means nothing to me. Your threats are empty, they hold no weight and I give them none. Do what you will, I'm in no position to stop you, and remember, every turn spent trying to destroy my body/soul is another turn you won't be able to put toward your ambitions, not to mention the loss of Forbidden Lore you relied on when I was conscious and capable of speech.

Have you tried shapeshifting your physical form into a ghost or slime yet? I doubt it'd work because there's likely to be magical countermeasures but it couldn't hurt to try.

You can say that my threats mean nothing to you all you want, but that doesn't change the fact of what I'm going to do. You brought up how it would be a waste of my time and I agree, my time would better spent doing thing that would actually get me power. If somthing threatens that I have to eliminate it, your not a threat currently so there's no point wasting my time on you.

>it's a problem in my dimension not inside of the Isekai.
Clever, that is correct

>If my pen is possessed and writes about this horrible thing,

You look in at the monstrous creation, your pen has moved as you ordered and yet, it has failed to morf the pyramid.
Could it be that it has betrayed you? Is this monster actually within your scripture?
You raise the leather bound book. All that there is to your world is inside those pages you eagerly filled. If this is truly a monster of your making he must have been recorded. You search through the pages, thousands of stories and lives inside the paper, you remember all as you are their author. Its content fill you with joy, sweet memories fill you, the lantern dance around you as you retel them. Even the uncaring pyramid seems to bend to listen more closely to the hymns of times before his concepcion.
Silence, the lights flicker in fear of your expresion and scatter furthering themself. You contemplate in a mix of incredulity, anger and sadness to the scriptures of this world.
There are pages missing.
For the first time you feel fear in your garden.

Now is where you, as the QM decide if this mystery continues and you try to unravel it or we stop, and resolve its consequence inside your Isakai.

Before going to bed, Mark goes to one of the guild maids and begs for silverware. The maid answers that she does not hand out free items except rusty weapons. She's a bit tipsy and she says that his muscles look good. Then, she giggles.

Mark goes to the dormitory and looks around. There are a lot of people around. Mostly humans, but also a few dwarves, bears, and other beastmen. One of the bears snores rather loudly, but at the same time, it's probably rather funny to see a humanoid bear in flesh and blood. The room smells of sweat and beer, as cloud be expected. He and Squiddly talk about their plans.

Squiddly sits on the lower bunk. He uses his finger to magically trace the holy symbols of Kek on his armor, which is a hieroglyph of a man sitting in front of a computer. It makes a bright light as he traces and then it disappears.

Mark goes to the rooftop to practice his arts. (Mark if you insert a Vocaroo of your singing and it's good, you gain a bonus.) Then he goes downstairs and jumps on the top bunk.

The two brothers fall asleep peacefully, in the safety of the Adventurer's Guild and with each other's vigilant protection.

>Holy Trips of Kek: For the duration of this thread, Squiddly can choose to gain a +1 RS bonus to one action. He must announce it in the same post as his action.

Shi goes outside the manor, followed by his monstrous ghouls. He sees a swarm of twenty homeless people. He begins shooting all of them very quickly, ending their miserable lives. Men, women and children, indiscriminately. They flee in different directions, but Shi teleports behind them and shoot them in the back of the head. There are no survivors. The street is silent, with only the sound of Shi's smoking guns and the ghouls moaning his name in praise.

The undead minions carry all of the corpse back inside the mansion, one by one. Then, it is finally the moment they've waited for all the time. They can each have two corpses for supper, which is much more than they can fit in their stomach. They thank Shi humbly for the delicious meal.

Now, Shi is left with fourteen corpses. He leaves them in a pile in the living room and one of the maid brings him to the guest bedroom. It has a beautiful, king size canopy bed of delicate, red fabric. The room has a fresh smell of lavender, and has all necessities Shi could require, including rosemary, sandalwood and lemon perfumes, a bottle of bourbon and a gold-plated chamber pot. The maid bows and says that she hopes the room is to his taste.

Action order changed so that we don't have everyone sleep while Shi is doing entire turns alone.

Shi goes to sleep. Abigail sleeps at the foot of the bed, the ghouls sleep in a corner, as far from Shi as possible to not disturb him with their undead smell, and AnonKnight sleeps outside the door in the corridor, in lotus position.

Morning comes and the maid brings a plate with croissants, muffins, cupcakes, pancakes and a cup of coffee to Shi while he's sitting in the bed. When Shi is done eating, he gives his left-overs to Abigail, who humbly accepts. The maid brings potted roses to celebrate the power of the young adventurer; she says that the fresh roses represent his vitality, and she also tells him that he looks good today. Then, she brings a bucket of warm water, and helps him to wash and dress.

When his toiletry is finished, Shi goes downstairs, where he is greeted by Barbatos.
>>
>>4355144

「Strange Aeons」It's now time for his new ritual. Again, tentacles come out of his body and he is like possessed. He draws a protective circle and stands in the middle of it. Then, he orders his slave-priestess to sacrifice the corpses with the pure copper knife. A dimensional shambler gradually assembles itself in an empty space of the room. Barbatos is present and he applauds the amazing and successful magic.

The creature stabilizes its form in our dimension. It's eight-feet tall, a sort of crossbreed between an ape and an insect with a repugnant, inexpressive face. Its hide hangs loosely on its frame.

Shi turns to the creature and says:

"I have called you forth for I require your assistance in an upcoming battle. Follow me and I will help you eat many a great soul."

The creature has large hands with disgusting, twitching fingers, which it uses to attack everyone in the room. As Shi is standing at the center of a protective circle, he cannot be hurt, but that is not the case for everyone else. AnonKnight is caught in the attack and his body is immediately severed in two, horizontally, on the level of his stomach. Abigail is screaming in fear. Barbatos casts a protective shield on himself and grins.

"This is a wonderful spell, Master Shi."

>AnonKnight is dead

>>4354683
Ayame has her own bedroom, but it's much smaller than Shi's and she only has a single size bed with white sheets. The room is bare; she only has a jug of water and a tiny chest to store her items, but at least, it's very clean. She has her adorable companion Koko who brings a touch of life to the environment. The maid brings her a demon PJs and funny-looking, demon-faced slippers. Ayame prays to the meme Shinto kami and then falls asleep with Koko next to her. She dreams of fairy landscapes, far from any civilization.

In the morning at dawn, the maid brings her croissants and milk, and a small bowl of water to wash her face. Her meal requests cannot be fulfilled, it is against the regional culture to eat meat or eggs at breakfast. The maid says that if she eats bacon in the morning, she will lose her good figure and become fat like a dwarf.

At last, Ayame feels good and rejuvanated, but her arms are still rotten. The flesh is becoming very putrid and has a smell of rotten cheese. She sends a psychic message with a new quest to all party members:

「Druidic Whisper」"I will pay 4 silver for anyone that can get my black and pink backpack with the stuff in it, wood staff and steel shield back. I got mugged by ratmen in the sewers and left the staff and shield outside a chapel. I'm the girl in the witch outfit."[/b]

The message wakes up those who were still sleeping.

Well, I know since the beginning that Mythic RPG is paranormal, so I was expecting something to happen eventually. But I hate Belial as I hate all Babylonian demons.

If my exorcism has failed, it means that my willpower is too weak. I will work on killing the Jew within. I will fast and meditate for 24 hours.

I thought dimensional shamblers we're immaterial, so I don't understand how it's attacking people right now.

"Though it has the appearance of being material the Dimensional Shamblers originate from a different dimension, making it immaterial in our world, making it unable to touch or be touched."

The monolith of your failure stands in front of you, its black mass defies your will, but you must not stop. The mystery of the missing pages of creation must be tied to this aberration in front of you. Deciding on a course of action comes to you while resting on your throne. You close your eyes and begin meditating, the mind is a tool at your fingertips. During your trance you reflect on what you know, the pyramid must have a heart ("the Jew within") which provides its resistance and its own will. This is not a battle of your strength against a immovable obstacle, this is a battle of power of determination and you won't be outdone in your world.

You wake from your slumber, the scriptures still firm on your grasp and the darkness in front of you. The garden has change.
Surrounding the arching walls of your nemesis the lanterns of men have change from the pure fires you gave them to a bluish tint that barely stats in the roaring inferno that is your creation. yet they thrive unther the dark monument.
Your nemesis has also change, the twisting bridges opened like a man to leave space for the intwine ribs and stone steps that form a gruesome parody of your throne, the empty seat croons a cacophonous melody of stone and pain while it bleeds.
The liquid flow upward to the top, forming a hollow body where you would stand, the veins of the creature flow with its music as it makes itself a step closer to you.
But its face, only a sunken mimicry. Its know this, he has attempted to create and failed, and he is aware of it.
You do not believe this creature has a name.
He may exist outside of your pen, but he is the nothing that stole flesh.

"TWENTY-TWO, TWENTY-THREE, TWENTY-FOUR, TWEN- Oh hey man, how's it going? There's a Darkest Dungeon monster in the mansion? Fuck, I'm glad this chamber has a door. I... The world seems a little vague and indistinct but I'll try to find your body and get you into the sewers to find mine, if there's even a connection to the tunnels outside of the mansion that is. I'm still a little thrown off, I thought for sure that the sewers connected to the basement were part of the mansion and not exposed to the city at large. Didn't even get a ping or anything when I left to, ah, monitor the ghoul ritual. I'll see what I can do, yeah, keep your third eye peeled. I appreciate it man, not everyone would be willing to brave a monster-infested sewer to recover the corpse of someone they met just yesterday."

Ayame was walking to the guild, but, there was something off. The colors for reality drained from the world for some reason. She is seeing into a dimension beyond nature and order, she sees the true demiurge of her life. and she listens. There is a battle between god and his nemesis. A man who creates worlds against a creature that merely exist. She sees the god slumber and rise to find his nemesis change in a attempt to imitate him.
She is confused, the monolith has even his own lights, she reaches into her chest to find her own flame, unchained like others around her.
So with this knowledge of her freedom she marches to the base of the usurper deity.

the travel to it is stange, from moving in a sea of souls to a empty wasteland. But she has reach it. Its arching walls curve upwards into the dark throne, tall as any castle in the normal world. She sits and observes the creatures that roam the pyramid. To her surprise, some are humans, semenly stuck in a meaningless travel or praying to the darkness, Their lights diminish as so is their souls all hoping to find something lost, but the other light bearers are aberrations of nightmarish incepcion. Centipedes covered in human mask, skeletons made of metal or worms clad in human skin. This is absurdly unnatural, is maddening is horrific. this are not creations of god or man, this are monsters of insanity and delirium [Make a perception check]

Odds: 50/50
Roll:39
A: Yes



Ayame observes the uncaring darkness in front of he. What made this people reject the Demiurge? Did they even know they had betrayed him? She decides to confront them, she stands up and... "oh" behind her one of the creatures of nightmare stands, two heads tall and a animalistic snout, The creature flaps its fleshy wings, the send of blood is carried to her nose.
Ayame flinches, how did it get so close
“̷H̷i! Yo̷u̸ ̷s̴h̴o̶u̵l̷d̷ ̸l̴e̷a̷v̸e̵ b̷e̶f̸o̸r̶e̶ ̷y̷o̵u̴ ̵f̴o̸r̵g̸e̷t̴ ̵h̵o̸w."
It's slobbering tongue hangs loosely from it's mouth and her bony fingers clutch a piece of flesh closer to her chest, it skirms.
Ayame was confused but she gather herself to ask the question she had come for.
"Hi!...could you share a answer with me? why do you serve the strange demon?"
the creature retracts, its many eyes looking at her.
"T̴h̷e̴ ̴m̶a̴ke̶r̶ ̶t̵r̸ie̸d̶ ̵a̷n̵d̵ ̵f̵a̴i̶l̸e̶d̷,̵ ̸n̸o̷w̴ w̷e w̶a̷it̸ ̸f̴o̵r̵ ̴its ̶n̶e̶x̵t̴ ̸at̴t̴em̷p̸t.̵

She extends her claw, the fleshy tumor on the other hand it's reveal to some kind of baby.
Ayame's attention is drawn to where the monster points.

she contemplates for a moment the view.
What are you searching for?

Ayame returns to reality, she is exactly where she left.

Bacon returns the bedroom's key to the cloaked innkeeper, and goes to the tavern area to eat his breakfast. He's given a bowl of white rice, a bowl of miso soup, and various small dishes of stewed beans and pickled vegetables. The waitress is dressed in zombie cosplay, she makes unconvincing zombie groans when serving the food.

That place was a bit weird, but Bacon thanks the innkeeper and walks back to Égéphiar's manor. A beggar attaches himself to his ankles, but he's getting used to it now. This is part of the difficulties of walking in the Lower Quarter, the beggars are literally glued to your body. He enter the living room and sees that everyone is busy fighting a new monster, so he decides that he'll come back later.

His second destination is the Adventurer's Guild. A mistake that many young adventurers make is to forget to register to the guild. Then, they accomplish many good deeds but cannot collect the rewards for it. He walks to the counter where he's welcomed by a pink-haired maid.

"Welcome to Kek's Adventurer's Guild, good sir! How may I help you on this fine day?"

Bacon explains that he wants to register, so she makes him touch the guild crystal. A cloud forms inside of it, which reveals the power of the person who has touched it.

"Very nice! You are a C rank."

She gives him his ID card and touches another crystal which serve as terminal to access the guild database stored in the Astral Plane.

"Oh, I see that you have already been registered by... the admin?! That must be a mistake. Anyway, is it correct that you are part of Shi Taberu Hito's party? He's currently wanted by the guild for robbing the Kek Store. I'm going to ask that you accompany me to the Guild Mistress so that she can speak with you about this matter."

The maid leaves the counter and leads Sir Bacon to the upper floor.

At the same time, Wade's ghost manifests before Sir Bacon. It's the second ghost today who gives him attention so it looks like he's very popular within the ghost community.

(Last action cancelled.)

Shi asks Barbatos how to bind a dimension creature.

Barbatos answers that such precious knowledge is not something that's exchanged for good boy points. He's visibly amused by the situation.

「Bind Dimensional Shambler」Shi then decides to try the dark ritual with his own intuition. The ritual only take one minute to complete. It's a magical speech in Aklo, an alien, dark tongue that has the power to subjugate the creature. The words come spontaneously to his lips, spawned only from his desire to bind the entity, even though he does not understand them. The tongue is not remembered or spoken by humans, but it survives in small, secluded areas of the Dream World or the deepest regions of the underworld.

Shi says:

>I order you to not attack anyone unless I say so.
The cancerous entity immediately stops moving.

He then says to his ghouls:
>Now's your chance to pay me back for your meal last night. Rip that thing to pieces.
"Yesss.... "

The ghouls surround the now pacified dimension shambler, and begin tearing at its flesh with the claws. The entity is mortally wounded and retreats to another dimension to die in peace.

Mark gets himself dressed and walks to the counter of the green-haired maid. He would have preferred to take a bath, but there's no bathroom. If he wants a bath, he will have to go to the city's communal baths.

"Mark! It's nice to see you back here. How is it going with your quest?"

The clown answers that he has new information about it.

>Egephiar has the succubi under his payroll and nobility may be involved in the business. Im assuming they are the clientele tho.
"Oh my! This is insane. Who would have guessed!"

She seems fascinated by his revelations. She takes notes about it because there might be a quest about Égéphiar because of this new lead.

After a good night of rest, Squiddly still feels drained and exhausted. He meets up with Mark and they go together outside to do some shopping.

「Bless Water」Squiddly buys a small empty bottle, fills it with water from the public fountain and blesses it in the name of Kek. The water begins glowing with dark energies of good, proving the success of his spell.

Looney the balloon dog floats above his head, and he walks with his fidel companion to the blacksmith Chaufeu de métal in the street. When the blacksmith sees Squiddly, he gets very angry and tells him to leave. The blacksmith is angry about the energy bars that Squiddly gave him because they taste awful, exchanging them for a full plate armor was a true scam.

Ayame wakes up and eats her breakfast. She looks at her zombie hands. It's bad, they are rotting too fast.

「Heal」Ayame casts a healing spell on her own arms. They are surrounded by blue energy and then they begin rotting even more to an advanced putrescent stage. As her hands are zombie and powered by negative energy, they actually get damaged by her divine energy. It is a fact of nature that undead get damaged by healing spells. The smell is difficult to tolerate so she feels sick just from her own smell.

「Summon Nature」Ayame summons a bamboo backpack...

「Summon Nature」...and some peaches.

She puts Koko the cat in the backpack and pets him a lot to make up for the fact that she has given him breakfast.

"It's okay if I don't eat, nya. You are more important than me so I'm happy to see you nom the bread, nya. Let's live awesome adventures together, nya. I'm ready for Ayame The Rising Star and Koko the Incredible Cat Part 2!"

Ayame rushes out of the mansion. She finds a dark alley when she can change her physical form.

「Shapeshift」Ayame's flesh begins to become malleable. She thinks hard about becoming a slime girl but then her forms solidifies and remains as a moth girl. Shapeshifting is not easy at all.

She sends a druidic whisper to Wade and Bacon and then she walks to the Adventurer's Guild. The weather is a bit rainy. She enters the guild hall and a Japanese man materializes before her. One of her nakama, definitely.

Owen was relaxing in the Eldritch Express after some well-earned vacation. But the chaos god Kek has summoned him to his temple so that he can benefit from one of the new cheats. Owen accepts and spins the wheel, which stops on the small image of a rising sun.

The bone structure of his body twists and morphs until he becomes a full-blooded Japanese. Kek's attitude changes imperceptibly and his guards suddenly bow.

"SIR OWEN," he says. "I have prepared some sake to make you feel welcome in my humble temple."

Kek pours him sake in a small porcelain cup.

"I hope it is to your taste, I have bought it in the market of Devapura."

Yes, that's what being Japanese is like. It's life in easy mode. Even great deities treat you with respect.

"Your usual party is in Visea. Walk through the portal and you'll either be in front of Shi Hito or Ayame Sakimoto. They are both Japanese like you so the portal attractors should activate. Help them with their current mission, which I'm sure is of the highest importance."

Owen walks through Kek's portal. On the other side of the portal, he finds himself in the hall of Visea's Adventurer's Guild. The woman in front of him is a purple-haired mothgirl with four arms and wearing a black witch outfit with flowers. This must be Ayame.

Japanese Bloodline (cheat): Your face and body morph to take a purely Japanese appearance (choose Jomon or Yayoi, see picture). When travelling to Western nations, you are considered generally adorable by everyone. When you say something rude, it will be considered part of the cultural barrier. You will be given more respect and the opposite gender will find you more attractive. At the QM's discretion, you will be given more leeway when doing retarded actions. You are considered fluent in the Japanese language and to have a proficiency of Average with katanas.

Oh yes, I forgot about the details of the ritual. The dimension shambler has a will save against being called.

Now that you've summoned it successfully I can show you the source. You can see that it's expected to attack physically. Lovecraft fandom said that it's immaterial because it mixed up the shambler with the Hunter from Beyond.

I don't give you a bonus for having summoned one before, it has not improved your will power. In fact, you should get a penalty for the brain damage, you still have -1 RS brain damage.

You meditate on the matter at hand, the creature has stolen from you and tries to imitate your power but this is no simple copycat. You are sure it's some kind of demonic infection upon your world, but how to eradicate it? Increasing your power seems like the reasonable option, and so, you begin writing, the book of creation opens for you, the smell of ink fills your nostrils as your pen begins to dance. The ground rumbles under creation and concave pilons covered in your holy symbols emerge. They surround you in the sinfony of your own design, their colors shift in the iridescent metal, your volition reverberates within the structures back into their creator, your blood pulses with the rhythm and its melody is clears your mind.A ethereal glow beats with your throne.
You stand taller than you nemesis but you don't know how.

>>4356394
Mr. Bacon enters Guild Mistress Solana's office. The office has no decoration, other than wooden furniture and a few books and trophies displayed on a shelf, which she has collected from her adventurous life. On the walls, there are the stuffed heads of various predators such as a smilodon and a snow leopard.

A calm and graceful woman sits behind a desk. She's in her 40's but would still be considered attractive by most men's standards. She has long, flowing brown hair and green eyes, her cheeks have a faint, healthy pinkish color, and she is dressed in the standards black outfit of an adventurer. The only piece of jewelry that she's wearing is a silver caduceus pendant, the holy symbol of the god Hermes. If she was not sitting in this office, Bacon would not have guessed that she's the local leader of the mighty Adventurer's Guild. She seems to be listening to an inaudible conversation. After a moment, she taps her ears and turns toward her guest.
>>
>>4357661

"End of communication -

Welcome, sir. I heard you have information regarding the Mage-Thief case."

Bacon explains that Shi is a dick and that he doesn't have any information regarding his current location.

"Honestly, if you had betrayed your party leader, I would have kicked you out of the guild. I have a lot of respect for thieves, but tattletales are repugnant."

The disgust is visible on her facial expression.

"I'm just asking you to speak to Mr. Shi Hito and tell him to bring back the scrolls. You have to understand that I was forced to put up a quest against him, or everyone else would think that it's OK to rob the Kek Store. More than anything, Mr. Shi Hito is in a dangerous position. He has made himself the enemy of an entire guild and that might not end well for him. The more unscrupulous mercenaries are going to kill him on sight to collect the reward. His best course of action is to turn himself in and give back what he has stolen. I don't want to make an enemy out of him and I only want this to end well. I was hoping to appeal to your reason, I don't have anything else to tell you."

After being lectured, Bacon heads back downstairs to meet up with the rotting monster girl.


>>4356483
>>4356514
「Dark Heal」The Nature Queen Ayame channels dark energy, the dark side of nature that represents the death cycle. Her rotten arms heal slightly. They are still rotten but in a better state, comparable to the state she was in on the previous day.

「Intuition」She closes her eyes, and her keen sense of intuition tells her that Bacon is present in the same room as her... Ah, there he is! He was upstairs in the Guild Mistress' office and just came down.

"Oh, hey! Glad I found you." Bacon says.

「Intuition」The ghost of Wade is floating in the room, but the auras of the other party members are not visible to her.

「Summon Nature」After listening to her intuition, Ayame wants to cast more spells, but she still feels a bit tired from using the death energies of Dark Heal, so she's unable to produce anything. Only a tiny seed falls on the floor.

>Ayame now only suffers -1 death damage to her arms

>>4357220
>>4356514
After meeting up with his friends, Bacon heads to the counter. He asks if the guild sells unique weapons, but they do not sell anything for regular coins. The Kek Store only has magical items for sale to the adventurers who have earned Kek Points from completing quests >>4332975. Moreover, the only type of polearms they have are those with an enhancement enchantment to attack and damage, or common enchantments such as fire. They don't have anything as specific as a magitek collapsible polearm.

Bacon is not entirely out of luck, however. The maid tells him that he can have a stone shortspear for free if he needs a weapon.

He then walks to the outdoor arena of the guild. It's a small arena covered with sand and with training dummies. It's a suitable environment for duels and to try out new weapons and skills.

>>4356483
Ayame and Owen to the guild counter to sign up. The pink-haired maid smiles and bows in Japanese.

"Welcome sir, it's an honor to have you register to our humble guild. We do not deserve your esteemed Yamato presence."

She does a pose with a raised knee and a handle behind her head, looking coyly at him. Then she does a second pose where she bends her body lightly in the opposite direction, and winks energetically. She's obviously trying very hard to impress him and did two different poses with opposite energy levels. This is not as impressive as Ayame's THREE poses she did for him, but he's still getting a level of attention he's no used to.

Owen ignores her and puts his hands on the guild crystal, which reveals the power level of the adventurers. The maid's expression has shifted and she now looks confused.

"It says that you are only a D rank. The crystal must be broken."

She ponders.

"You should come back another day and try again."

Next, it is Ayame's turn to register. She shakes in excitement.

"T... two Easterners are registering in one day? That is a biggest honor than our guild can accept."

She bows in Japanese several times.

Ayame puts her hand on the crystal and a bright green cloud forms inside of it and even a mini storm.

"I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EYES! YOU ARE AN A RANKER!!!"

As the maid yells the words, other adventurers in the room hear her. They applaud and whistle. Even Koko the cat is applauding with his small, furry paws.

>Owen gets a guild ID card
>Ayame gets a guild ID card

>>4356490
Owen leaves and sits in a counter where he can work on his art. He takes a vial of nightshade out of his backpack, a virulent poison which he had prepared himself, and coats the blade of the katana with it. Owen is an expert assassin, he can kill a person with 10,000 different poisons.

Barbatos brings Shi to the backyard, where there's an area covered with sunlight that is suitable for Shi's malefic rituals. The backyard is normal looking, the warlock Égéphiar is growing a few plants and flowers altough some of the flowers have an unnatural, bright color.

「Call Dimensional Shambler」The Death Eater performs his second ritual, as magnificent as the first one. The prayer in the alien Aklo languages resonates in the cursed domain of the warlock. A dimension shambler begins materializing in front of Shi, outside of his protective circle. Its traits begin to become visible. The entity and Shi are both engaged in a battle of willpower. The entity is much older and stronger than Shi and defeats him, and disappears back into the aether.

>>4356945
>>4357327
Mark tries to recall Trick Fears, but he's unable to. The artifact is in possession of the deceased kensei Chase, in the depths of the first dungeon.

Mark asks the blacksmith:

>How much for the silver coated arrowheads
The cost is listed below.

Squiddly tries to persuade the blacksmith into forgive him, but the man has no forgiveness for him.

"I don't want anything from you. I said that you should never come back here, yet you have the audacity to show up. Very brave of you, but are you taking me for a fool? The I will let you know that I'm no fool, and in my younger days I was known to be a fierce fighter. I have killed many goblins before I retired as a blacksmith."

He grabs his hammer and points it into Squiddly's direction menacingly.

「Honkler」Mark draws the best piece of this thread so far, the ever-shifting clown doctor >>4356945. A high quality doctor outfit appears on his shoulders and a stethoscope around his neck. As he honks frenetically in Squiddly's ears, the priest's damaged body is progressively healed. Mark diagnoses Squiddly with full-body energy drain, as if he had been sucked dry by a vampire or succubus. He prescribes him laxative pills to ease his pain in case it happens again.

Mark and Squiddly head back to the guild. Squiddly indeed feels that he has more energy while walking.

Mark tries to open the box he stole from the demonologist. But as he touches the top lid, he's shocked by a surge of magical energy. The clown protection from his latest poem activates and a prismatic shield forms around him which absorbs the energy. He hasn't succeeding in opening the box yet.

"Hey thanks!" (if I was able to get my own spear I give it back and say "I have my own.")

As I aim the spear at the dummy I spoke "Wade-kun. I have no idea what to do? Help please."

"Will do. I heard there are some more anons around here...a clown and a priest of some sort. They might be willing to help us."
>I pause
"...There's another anon. He goes by Shi Taberu Hito, and he's wanted here for theft...but those are the least of his crimes. He killed four other people just to raise them as undead servants, and I think he was the one behind this weird Lovecraftian horror I saw this morning. He'd be...unwilling to help us. He wants the guild mistress dead so this demon guy can take over the city and thinks he'll be rewarded for it. And if the succubus is in cahoots with said demon fellow, that puts him at odds with us."
>Bacon is clearly disgusted with this guy. How can one man be so power hungry in a world that's already given him a leg up?

I just realized the succubus was the one who killed Owen's brother...but none of us know that

"The sugar daddy enslaved me too!" I showed Owen the golden collar. "It's not so bad, I only have to clean, BUT if my ass isn't home at dusk I fucking die! Wade-kun tried to get new powers and the collar said bedtime and that's why he's dead!"
>O: "Once he turned himself into a statue trying to explode the world or something, so my brother sliced him in half."
"Your bro sliced him, he died before and they know each other!?"
>"Oh FUCK! Is Chase the killer?!"
>"No, maybe not, but I have to protect Shi-kun."

Comments that, again, Shi does not know about. Are you yourself upset by this? You can't play an asshole character and not expect other characters to think he's an asshole. Even considering that, I'm not trying to get your character killed, even if it would make sense for Bacon to try that, because it'd be a dick move as a player.

And as for >>4358261...you did tell me about the plan. Right here. (>>4345432) So Bacon the moralfag knows that you want the mistress dead.
>>
>>4358292
Classic Shi, go to your mom about it
>>
>>4358305
No, I had forgotten how much of a moral fag you guys are. The comments annoyed me a bit but made me realize that you guys would probably be against me killing the mistress, so letting one of my potential pawns die would be a bad idea.
>>
>>4358305
At this point try and get me killed all you want. It's stupid to restrict ourselves when we so clearly come up against each other. I'll admit it was perfectly valid and ok for Chase to kill me even if it was a kind of a dick move. I could have avoided it if I was smarter, I had no one, but myself to blame for it.

>>4358353
Doesn't mean I'm gonna stop you, because I don't want unnecessary PvP. Remind me why you want her dead, again?

Anyways, we as a group have no reason to let the succubus live. Keep saying "moral fag" all you want, but that won't change the fact that the creature you want under your control has done awful things to many people. Besides, maybe it's because I'm new here, but I get the sense that the power dynamic between Shi and the demon fellas is a bit skewed towards the latter, so I dunno how close you are to any "potential pawns".

it would be possible for us to work together, but you seem intent on having Shi commit as many atrocities as possible for some reason. You can play a NE character that does NE things without being Saturday-morning-cartoon level evil, ya know? At this point I'm not sure if your "moralfags" complaints are coming from your character or you

Does succ souls die when the body is dead? You bound the other monster. You can try to enslave her later or during the fight and break her out of jail.

I don't care about the moral implications of what I do, only the implication it has on my power level and it's a risk. I could not murder people and use their bodies to make cannibals, but getting minions that way seems much more effective. When I mean pawn, I don't mean it literally (we're much more equals and they might even be a bit above me considering I live in their home) it's just if you or another anon we're to try and kill me because of moral faggotry they would be a good defense against that.

Think about it. You can enslave the guild lady. After I zombie her I can trick her soul back and you can charm her. The demon guy is willing to give me more ppp for the zombie thing and I think it would be fair to buy shit for you with them if you're doing most of the work.

"Alright. Back on earth I did a lot of swinging, mostly baseball bats and a tire iron once. Everyone says it's in the footwork and the wrist and they're not wrong, but pay attention to where your shoulder is and what it's doing. Pay attention to the heft of the blade, don't try to cut near the bottom, get an arc and put the weight into the tip. Aim for the throat, forearms, and knees, if you can manage a torso-hit, great, if not, focus on disabling, you can clean up afterward. The groin and forehead are tempting but the former's the most defended part on the body and the latter is stouter than you expect but not as much as they'd hope; it can take a surprising amount before it buckles. That one time I went ham with a tire iron, barely a concussion but my swing was off so take it with a grain of salt."

>Ayame asks for advice
"Listen, when you're handling any kind of polearm like that keeping distance is key, the closer they are the likelier you are to get cut and stabbed 'cause you can't rotate. Everyone talks about footwork and that's important, the most important thing there is; as long as you're walking backward and keeping an eye on your surroundings and a nice, steady distance you're good as gravy but that's not all there is to it. Most people don't want to risk getting stabbed, half-power thrusts are okay even if you don't think they're worth the time if you see an opening- because the time they take to move or step out of the way buys you time. A spear isn't just the blade either, that pole can crack a knee just as well, don't be afraid to sweep the ankles or swing the back-end but that shit is risky unless you've got plenty of room and can guarantee you can back up afterward."
>consider the shapeshifting
"Remember when you're in moth-form you've got four-arms, that's a huge advantage and I'm not talking about attack power, I'm talking about grip, maintain a hold on the weapon at all times and don't let it shift or slide if you can help it. Far as technique goes, you should probably talk to an adventurer for another perspective but think of putting your weight into a strike as leaning into it, pay attention to the blade, you might need to yank it out before it sinks in too deep and you don't realize it did before it's too late. If it's too sharp or they're not especially fat or muscle it can go through like paper and id hard to notice."
>to both:
"PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE like you would a guitar that your life depends on because it does. Never stop training. You think the insane cultists and orc marauders out there take days off? They do.... To celebrate on the ashes of regular people like you and me used to be who skipped militia day. Don't be like them, don't be like me. Last thing I want is to see either of you on the same plane. If you've got any more questions, ask, there's not a damned thing else I'd rather be doing. Ignore the corpse, it'll be good for two, maybe three more days before the rot's too far and even then, I've died... Fuck-"
>one, two, three?
>fuck

"Three times, not counting near death situations and close-calls. I'm almost getting used to it. Not some kind of combat badass either, just a retard with some basic, hands-on experience. Loot my body or hit up a broker or whatever you need to do to get some gelt and hire a professional trainer.

There aren't many and they aren't worth it, but being born to a family of poorfags among poorfags in the rural backwater of a poor, crime-infested, meth-addicted state has its upsides. My situation changed as I got older and found different ways to make money but I still haven't left and don't think I ever will. I only know how to swing a maul because my grandfather used a wood stove and needed a rick of wood twice a month. Not bragging or drawing attention to the shit because it's not something to envy, but the perspective, as far as it's related to the fights I've been in due to any number of factors not the least of which being my own belligerence bares mentioning. That's largely calmed down but it's a miracle I don't have any permanent injuries, it's a trite cliche but it's true, but the thing about violence is that it's fast and then it's over. The smart thing to do is stay away.

Had stuff to do, sorry it took so much time

>I stopped writing altogether.

The intruder has been toying to much with your sanity, so you decide to stop your writing. You glance one last time at your book of creation and close it. You remain in silence and drift to your peaceful rest a top of your throne. The dreams of your untold stories come to mind with a bitter taste, the taste of the defeat that comes with inaction. The lantern of your garden continue to build their towers and their stories for you, minute structures compared to yours but it's what you have confinned yourself. There is no time within your world since its space it's the extension of yourself. So you notice.
The interloper is starving, from its original body only a few veins scattered in the crumbling black pyramid, a small column of red dust rises from its body. Its scions dead or in hiding howl to the sky while the interloper dies alone.
Without your creation to feed on and your will to latch on it died malnourished. A pitiful cry is all that it can conjure.

For the first time you rise from your seat and walk toward your enemy, it's corpse extends like a spiderweb over the remains of its mountain. The missing pages of your book lay there, crumble in a ball and serving as the heart of the monster.
You lift them up and return them to their rightful place. There is nothing left here for you.

Mark tries to open the box, but he triggers a new wave of harmful magical energy.

With clown vision, he sees that he's holding a sort of jack-in-the-box which triggers an energetical mechanism when he tries to open it. Perhaps this vision is a hint? His earlier clown poem activates another prismatic shield which protects him. Balls of light float around him, each a different color of the clown rainbow, before dissipating in the air.

"I think you need to go to a Kek altar to get your juice flowing," Mark says.

"Lord Kek has no temple in this accursed city," Squiddly answers.

「Heal」The High Priest Squiddly begins his meditation. Lower, earthly feelings are annihilated and he communicates with the chaos god, beseeching him for a heal. Ethereal frogs fall on him and heals the last of his structural damage. He was a depleted vessel waiting to be filled with the pure energy and consciousness of Kek. Only from having destroyed their fake, earthly ego can one receives this gracious gift.

>>4357800
Bacon goes to the training dummy and takes a fighting stance of Taekwondo. This martial art is essentially a Korean version of Japanese fighting techniques, so it is as powerful as it gets.

He closes his eyes, getting in tune with his emotional mode of thinking. He begins channeling his anger and sadness he felt from meeting Lord Shi Taberu Hito, who in the language of emotions he refers to as the power-hungry murderer, as emotions do not allow for the attribution of an accurate name. Then, there's the horrible corruption of the world. The slaves of the Isekai wear blatant, physical chains instead of the invisible chains of wage slavery that exist in our world. While identical in nature, cause and effect, it's impossible to turn a blind eye to them anymore, which can be a forced red pill and a cause of intolerable stress.

"...Ok. That got intense."

He envisions the training dummy as a hybrid of the ignoble pagan god Kek, and the no less ignoble Shi, and projects a colored aura of anger and sadness. The channeling is successful, but both emotions are opposed and cancel each other! As the emotion of anger is the power that allows one to stand up for themselves and rebel against wrongdoings, and sadness is the state of being a helpless victim, channeling both at the same time might have mixed results.

Ayame asks:

>May I have your stone shortspear please and please feed my cat some meat.
"Of course, dear."

The maid bring back the weapon, and a meal ticket for the cat.

"You can go to the tavern here, in the guild hall, and show this ticket to the waitress. She will bring an entrecôte for your cat, I hope he likes this dish?"

Koko answers: "Yes!"

The maid however does not understand the neko language, so Ayame has to translate for him.

After receiving what she requested, she goes to the training area. She sees Bacon training, he seems to be unleashing powerful magic in the form of emotional clouds and auras. Ayame decides it's best not to disturb him, and trains with her own dummy. She gets in a fighting stance, as taught by her awesome dad, and tries to imagine the dummy as the succubus.

"Prepare to get raped, succ!"
>>
>>4359053

Ayame hits the dummy with the spear. The training dummy has still planted on it and rotates when it's hit, thus providing a defensive challenge to the fight. It rotates and hits the spear, knocking it down on the floor and causing the handle on Ayame's side to hit her chin. Ow! it hurts.

"Wade-kun. I have no idea what to do? Help please."

The ghost of Wade tells her to use her four arms to her advantage to improve her grip.

Abigail calls for Aphrodite to heal Shi's brain tumors. They all shrink and get reabsorbed by the healthy brain matter.

「Change Color」Shi changes the skin color of the remaining three ghouls and make them a bright yellow. (Note: Shi only has three ghouls because Chase killed one of them.) This is now an indicator that they are a higher caste and have proved their loyalty and worth.

Shi defines his party hierarchy as:
1) Shi
2) Abigail
3) Yellow ghouls
4) Everyone else

The ghouls thank him for this privilege and they agree that they should hold seniority over the newer ghouls.

The Death Eater is now ready to perform a new ghoulish black mass. Barbatos calls back the succubus Zaelhya so that she can attend this unholy ceremony. She appears in a puff of smoke.

"Where is Wade-kun?" she asks.

"My condoleances, madame. Mister Wade did not return last night and has passed away." Barbatos answers.

"WHAT? How's that possible? What happened to him? Did someone kidnap him?"

"I do not know, madame. He was with us at the ceremony but disappeared after the assassin made an attempt on Young Master's Shi. My theory is that he could not tolerate seeing Young Master Shi being hurt and committed suicide."

"I can't accept to lose my husbando on the first day! You have to do something!"

She throws a fit and breaks the coffee table. She's close to a nervous break down, but it's important that she attends Shi's ceremony, or worse things could happen.

Barbatos leads everyone to the underground dark chapel and Shi performs the black mass. Today's sermon is about the nefariousness of moral fags >>4358330 and how they should be eliminated on sight, before the inevitable betrayal. Zaelhya holds her hands together, drinking Shi's words as if he was an unholy prophet. Then, both her and Abigail walk to the stage to help him with the ritual. Shi transforms into an aberration. He's unrecognizable, being a mix of shoggoth, alien and insect, except for the black sunglasses that he's wearing.
>>
>>4359053

"HASTUR'S GHULS! COME FORTH!"

The sacrificed corpses open their eyes and look around. The yellow ghouls beat them up to establish their authority. So, then, the new ghouls are now forcibly absorbed into Shi's hierarchical structure.

"You were once vagrants and vagabonds with nothing in life, but a beggar's cup. I have given you a second chance at life, no longer will you go hungry, no longer will have nothing to do but lay in your waste. You serve me, now."

Everyone walks back to the mansion's living room. Shi requests a disguise and Barbatos gives him the desert merchant disguise again.

"Young Master Shi, I must congratulate you for this wonderful mass. Not only are you a feared and respected magician, but you are also rising as a figure of authority in dark spirituality. Everyone has said how much they felt darker or even traumatized when attending your mass."

Shi (A-ranker), Zaelhya (C-ranker), Abigail (D-ranker), the three yellow ghouls and the five normal ghouls walk to the public market, in order of rank. Zaelhya always stands on Shi's left, whereas Abigail is always on the right. It is only missing the High Priestess Emiya to make the procession more fearsome. Emiya should stand on Shi's right, and Abigail behind Shi. As they are of the lowest rank, it is the five normal ghouls who carry Shi's and Abigail's backpacks and items. They beg for meat along the way, but the yellow ghouls beat them again into submission so that they remain silent. They will learn soon to not beg so as to not bother their master. Most people are fearful when they see the party. They conclude that Shi is a very wealthy merchant for having so many slaves, and the succubus herself is infamous and known by most people in the Lower Quarter for her uncompromising cruelty.

As they are walking, the succubus remarks:

"If only Wade-kun was alive and well, he could serve as a perfect bodyguard to you. His talent with the sword is unprecedented."

Your Japanese bloodline makes you adorable to foreigners only. As Ayame is Japanese, she's not affected by the cheat.

>>4359393
>Wux does Owen count as a cute boy now?
By definition of your strength, Owen does not count as cute boy because his Beauty score is Minuscule. That makes him definitely not cute. His sheet describes him as generally scary and his face is covered with multiple scars. The fact that he's Yayoi also makes him look more cold-blooded. As far as I know, he looks like a cold-blooded Yakuza.

However, I propose that Owen describes his appearance more in detail, and if you find the description attractive then he activates the bonus.

Also, your sheet describes that you have Charisma-based Spellcasting back from your life on Earth, what kind of spellcasting is it?

Estimated time: 10 AM

A well-loved character is going to die this turn, so sensitive minds are recommended to not read.

>>4359238
Sigric the priest of Odin leaves the fantastic train "Eldritch Express" and enters the Adventurer's Guild. He registers, obtains his ID card and takes the quests "White Slavery" and "The Mage-Thief".

Having fulfilled the formalities, he can now focus on finding the location of the mage-thief. He casts the spell Locate Creature to locate Shi. Locate Creature is a divination spell, thus strictly restricted to priests. The spell requires to know the target but he's somewhat familiar with Shi as they both live in the Eldritch Express.

He slowly turns and feels which direction his target is. He orders the creature to stay in the guild hall with the priestess Emiya. Guided by Locate Creature, Sigric walks silently to the mansion.

Sigric
>+ID card
>Owl's Wisdom: +1 RS to wisdom
>Locate Creature: for 10 minutes, he can sense Shi's direction

>>4359214
「Honkler」Mark makes an elaborate toy car with clown balloons. This is an incredible work of art, defying the known laws of physics. There's a flower on top of it which can spray a mix of water and shampoo in the eyes of people to make them cry.

It's now time to open the box once and for all. He has made many attempt, but he feels that this time it's going to be the right time. He has the idea of filling the box with various balloons of his design. He puts his hand on the object with confidence. Oh no! The thrill-seeking fool is cursed, it doesn't work after all. He gets shocked with magical energy again, and this time there's no prismatic shield to protect him. His body absorbs all of the energy, it feels like electricity is running through his entire body and the pain is very intense. He would do anything not to ever feel it again.

>Mark takes - 1 RS full body damage
>Mark gains a + 1 RS to Open Lock for two turns

MARKET
>The bunny sells for 4 silver, not a bad price

>>4359287
>>4359353
「Dark Heal」Ayame channels the power of natural death and makes the rotten wounds recede and disappear. It's now all forgotten. More importantly, the horrible smell of rot is gone and flies have stopped flying around her.

Seeing that Owen and Bacon are leaving, Ayame screams: "WAAAIIIT! I'm coming!"

She runs like an autist, drooling and moving her arms in a strange manner, until she catches up with them. She reveals the master strategy to beat this C-ranked quest.

"Owen-kun the demon guy will trap you in the sugar daddy's manor. Lure her outside. Heard in a dream to do it with sweets."
>>
>>4359631

「Nature Summoning」Ayame tries to summon masks and a wooden shield, but the power of nature is not being responsive. A leaf falls from the sky and onto her nose. She's feeling exhausted, as in the previous day when she had been using too much magic.

Wait... she feels something strange on her face. She asks Koko what happened and he tells her that she's wearing a scary-looking oni mask. She tries to remove it to take a look, but it's glued to her skin and won't move.

>>4359073
Owen goes to the public market, where he finds a trader from the Shuji Empire who sells sake with a strong flowery smell. The trader is happy to see him and they exchange a few words in Japanese. He then walks to the Lower Quarter and then to Mr. Égéphiar's mansion. On his way, he meets up with Mark, Squiddly and Bacon. The gang is ready to finally finish the quest. It's an easy mission, they only have to poison the succubus with sake and then collect all the Kek Points...

MARKET
>Sake: 5 silver

>>4359157
>>4359461
Bacon follows Owen. He's not really paying attention to where they are going because he's on his cellphone. He has created a new thread on /tg/ with the topic: "succubus enforcer". (He can check for the answers next turn.) The people of Visea have never seen a cellphone, so they wonder what he's doing.

>>4359263

Shi tries to woo Abigail with a silver pendant, knowing that the way to win an NPC woman's heart is with power and money. She thanks him politely, however her facial expression shows a hint of distrust. It is true though that her eyes are like shining emeralds.

Shi buys supplies in the mark and finds an itinerant devil blacksmith who sells various magical items. He recommends that Shi buys the potion of non-jealousy, and winks. This type of potion can sometimes be helpful for powerful men with a harem.

The ghouls are all puting on leather armor, it's too strange! Who would have thought of equipping them with human items?

After wasting time on those mundane tasks, walks back to the mansion and sees Owen knocking on the door. He concludes that the Yakuza is here to mess with his new allies and he cannot tolerate this affront. Owen, you baka! What do you think you are doing by challenging Lord Shi? He's a powerful A-ranker and the most wanted criminal in town!
>>
>>4359631

The time for punishment has come. The Edgelord's verdict has been pronounced. He will not show weakness anymore. He teleports behind Owen and shoots him in the balls with the Desert Eagles. *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* His movements and instinct are exceptionally fast; he even has enough time to brush his hair with his fingers.

"Omaera shindeiru," Shi says in his native tongue.

Due to Bacon calling him a cartoonesque villain, he has reached a new height of power, for the more he's acknowledged to be edgy, the more his cheat gives him power.

The witch Ayame is trying to fly very fast on her little cloud to stop her new friend Owen from getting himself killed, but she's too slow. Her frail wings of a moth are not very efficient. Koko the cat is trying to pedal in the air to increase her speed. He's doing his best but he's only a baby and he can't use magic. When she arrives, Owen had already died from losing 90% of his body's blood. It's too late to do anything. He doesn't have balls anymore, just a huge gaping wounds where once stood his virility.

Bacon was standing next to Owen. He's witnessed everything and he's covered in blood for the second time. The first time was when Shi murdered rookie members of the Adventurer's Guild. Next time, Bacon should think of wearing a hazmat suit when walking into Shi's fief.

(Shi's last action cancelled.)

I am Wade, part-time Gladiator and former possessor of the Creepy cheat, I died before your time because I lost track of time in an unholy ritual involving a pentegram and a cinnamon bun. That shit was terrible but it didn't look like you had any idea what hit you from here. My condolences. I don't believe we ever got a proper introduction. If you want to take some time to come to terms with your early death, that's cool. If not, what's your name and who were you in life?"

"...That's a shitty analogy. If we were 'rabid dogs', we wouldn't be coming to attack anything. We'd be sitting and waiting to die while slowly losing our minds and attacking whatever comes near."
>...kinda like you, Shi. I'm not gonna say that, but...
"Call us what you want, but that doesn't change the fact that you had no right to kill a man for knocking at your door. And what do you mean you 'used' the scrolls? They're pieces of parchment, how are they gone?"

She tries to get info on why Shi shot Owen. If I get the info I say: "He really did thought Owen-kun was Yakuza."
>"This shit is overkill even for me!"

「Intuition」
She tries to see Wade's and Owen's ghost.
"Owen-kun! Funny shit that you got killed. Sorry dude. I tried to stop you and I was stupid cause I did something new. I'll pay you back somehow, promise!"

"Oh fuck! Owen-kun could get eaten!
>Use my intuition to find him and ask the guys to help pick him up cause I have waterhose arms and carry him inside.

"Shi-kun, I know you got betrayed by Chase. He was a villain like you and you thought him like a bro. One of my best friends's from Earth got betrayed over and over again and it ended up that I was one of the few he truly trusts. I don't want that to happen to you. This world is fuck and Chase will keep coming back over and over again. He won't just come for you but anyone he doesn't like that can heal you and if we are going to stop him and his moralfaggotry we need to get stronger AS A TEAM.

The demonologist compared Wade-kun's and my own soul's power to YOURS! Ask him! We may not have the same powers or experience, but we can get there. Bacon-kun and myself are able to get into the astral plane on a whim and his own aura is badass as fuck. He even saved me yesterday and tried to save Wade-kun. Owen-kun has his bro's genes. I know your a villain and I know I saw you murder 4 people, but I'm saying this because I know it get's much worse than that and if we don't stick together we will never destroy the black demon Jew pyramid I saw in a vision earlier. I like said you can leave, but please be careful. I still like you, you know? You still care about your friends and are helping Bacon-kun. Please think about what I said. I'm still game with the plan."

"Eh, two-to-one, your JoJo shit and Ayame's raw speed, decent chance. An innocent man got shot and killed because Shi wants to traffic with demons and animate a ghoulish army. As based as that might be, that is some heavy shit to lay on the collective subconscious that I'm about fifty percent sure exists in Isekai-land. Not one to grandstand and you made the smart call, but keeping quiet's not what I'd have done in your situation. Self-preservation's a fair game to play, stack the deck if you can. Longer you wait the worse it gets. All I can do is watch."

>>4359804
"Instant death that hit you out of nowhere aside, I'm glad to meet you, and that's at least one thing we have in common. You say you're an Assassin? That shit's rad. That mean you have masterful stealth and poison skills or what? I imagine it's a lot more cloak & dagger than the standard Rogue class, fucking shame what happened. You mean you're Japanese by cheat, not genes? Niiice. From everything I've seen so far, that's basically life on easy-mode and anime logic as it is, I doubt it hurts what you can do with that katana."

>>4359833
"Bruh I died trying to burn a cinnamon bun in a pentegram so I could summon an aspect of a dark god and haggle with it to brand its sigil on my chest for a pittance of power. I don't even know what dark god I was trying to summon, just that the temple was evil and I wanted a quick influx of power so I could escape the slave collar around my neck I got because I was a retard and bombed a riddle game with a demonologist where if I won, I'd have asked for a sigil to the most reliable entity he's aware of. I don't tuck with Luciferianism or endorse it in any way, shape, or form beyond heads-on-spikes and burning stakes, but I'm probably the Iseaki member that'd have the least problem with that."

>>4359874
"I do know a Priest of Kek. From what I've seen he's a righteous dude I'd trust to watch my back any day of the week. Name's "Squiddly" and he's a ride-or-die type of guy. Problem is I don't know where he is and I don't want to make light of the situation, but you would likely need a body bag to get it back to the Adventurer's Guild in one piece.

Coming back to life a fourth time would be cash money but I don't want you risking your hide for it.

"I have too. Like I said, you made the smart call. Huh? Another priest? I, ah, know a priestess and we're on good times, but she's a little... ah, vapid and dedicated to Aphrodite, A.K.A., Ishtar. And near as I can gather, enslaved to Shi as a trophy of war but I'm not sure how much magical compulsion is involved there. Worth a shot in the dark. Some risk involved but he's generally pretty reasonable about letting people use his 'heal-bitch'. There's a priestess of the goddess of healing back at the Adventurer's Guild but... She's Shi's girlfriend and as far as I'm aware they've been spanking the panky for months. Probably wouldn't get far there 'cause she'd recognize the distinctive wounds and assume you were in the wrong but I'm not sure how much she knows about the ghouls."

>"It's probably a lot safer than trying to follow in Wade's footsteps. No offense."
"None taken, my dumbass had it coming but I'll have you know my untimely demise had nothing to do with the ritual. Just the deal of magical slavery with a strict time limit if I lost a riddle game with that demonologist. Which I then forgot about. Hm. Probably not the best example to follow."

Estimated time: 11 AM

「Critical PK」The world-famous Japanese idol Hatsune Miku appears in the street with two loud speakers on each of her sides, and begins singing a song to praise Shi Taberu Hito for the killing of Owen. She's dressed all in black and is holding two glowing swords in each hand. The song is short and, after it's finished, she vanishes.

Hatsune Miku 「Shi Taberu Hito」

>>4360119
Shi sends a whisper directly into Ayame's brains and then says to his minions and followers:

"Come on let's go inside and leave this filth."

Abigails rolls her eyes.

The succubus and the ghouls answer:

"Hai!"

Shi wanted to summon another dimensional shambler, but now that he thinks about it, he doesn't have any more corpse.

From 20 corpses:
>6 eaten for breakfast
>4 used to summon shamblers x2
>10 used to summon ghouls x5


He then sits in the living room with everyone, and talks to Abigail in hope to get to know her better. Abigail is glad that she can speak about her favorite subjects. She's very quick to speak about others and their failures. In her stories, everyone is an abuser, and she, a perpetual victim. She loves to spread gossips about everyone from Earth and the Isekai. She also speaks about her love of worldly possessions, mostly clothes and jewellry. Her dream is that Wade will buy her a golden bracelet >>4337894.
>>
>>4360645

>>4359684
Wade, the first ghost, says to the second ghost:

"Salutations and welcome - WELCOME - W E L C O M E to the Great Beyond fellow ghost."

>>4359974
>>4359669
Owen, the second ghost, tries to speak to the shadows, a sort of ability that he has developed as a side effect of gaining the skill Hide in Shadows as an assassin. However, all cheat skills are disabled while in ghost form, hence, his attempt fails.

>>4360009
Chase, the third ghost, focuses the Ki of his subtle body so as to form a spiritual weapon, but it fails. He can only manifest a vague form of his former flesh body as it is how the others remember him.

>>4360442
Squiddly says:

>Sorry guys, internet was out yesterday.
That might have sounded weird, if Bacon was not himself browsing 4chan on his cellphone.

Then, he he broadcasts to the whole party.

>We need to stay together, we are falling like flies to that manchild!
There's much truth to that statement. It's like a horror movie, where the party members are dying one by one each time they are leaving the group.

Last, he asks Kek for guidance.

>Oh great master of the faceless and protector of the truthful, heed my call and show your lost servant what to do in this hive of snakes and debauchery.
「Holy Vision」Squiddly gets the vision of an ancient battlefield in the desert of Egypt. It shows the Egyptian getting killed one by one by the wicked Hyksos, a swarthy tribe from the East. The sand is tainted red by the blood of the Egyptians. Then, the Nile teemed with frogs.

If Squiddly can understand this vision, then he will learn how to protect the truthful.

>>4359645
>>4359874
「Empathic Reading」Sir Bacon listens to his emotions and opens them to the outside world that surrounds him. The wheeled gates of his meridians are wide open, accepting of everything around him as if it belonged to him on a very personal level.

Shi
>His emotions do not fluctuate after Bacon has spoken (Player Shi can correct this if this is inaccurate.)

General area
>There are no specific lingering emotions in the area other than the beggar's thirst for water. (The ghost players can add their personal emotions to this report.)

Ayame raises her fist and jumps to transform into her slimegirl form.

"Toransufoomu! Super Henshin Suraimu!"

She lands, expecting the awesome magic to activate, but yet again, nothing has happened. The slave collar remains firmly attached to her neck.

「GameFAQs」Ayame tries to used her cheat Intuition to guess why Shi has killed Owen. She begins to understand the Edgelord better. He used to be the leader of an adventuring party and he was loved by all. Women would throw themselves on him. Chase was like a brother to him. A mage and a fighter, together, they made the strongest team in the world. It was said, there's no Shi without a Chase, and no Chase without a Shi. Then, everything changed. Chase appeared in the black mass and murdered him, revealing himself to be a moralfag agent in secret. This betrayal broke Shi, and he began crying. Shi, now treated like a villain and pariah, understood that he was surrounded by enemies. When Owen showed up to Égéphiar's mansion, he feared for his life and led a preemptive strike on him. (Player Shi can correct this if this is inaccurate.)

「Intuition」The ghosts of Wade and Owen are visible to everyone.

She then uses her four arms to lift Owen's body over her head, and carry him inside, to the safety of the mansion.

Now, it is her chance to revive her friend. She raises her four hands up and then slowly lowers them to Sieg Heil level.

"Absolute Raise! Owen-kun let the temple of your soul shine bright!"

Nothing happens.

>>4360444
「Revival」Sigric traces the sieg rune ᛋ in the air, which represents the healing sun. His god, Odin, is the creator of the runes, so it is natural for him to use them when casting spells. He casts the Revival spell, one of his two favorite spells.

Owen rises, fully healed. The three ghosts are now two.

The death gods are getting angry about this action and curse Sigric.

>Shinigami Death Curse: Sigric rolled a triple 4 >>4360444, the unlucky number of death. For 3 rounds, he suffers a -2 RS penalty to all actions.

>>4360446
>I honk myself back to health

The Clown powers (class) are limited to illusion magic.The Honk power (cheat) requires that you use 4chan's painter.

「Honkler」The top lid of Mark's box suddenly opens, and a clown palm tree pops out. This startles Mark and he jumps in surprise. A sinister music begins playing, as if coming from a cursed music box. It is truly nerve-wrecking.

"Owen, my man! Congrats on returning to life. I hope there's no offense when I say I'm happier to see you leave than I was to meet you. It's great that you're alive again, I would run away from the manor ASAP if I were in your situation there. Nothing but bad vibes and worse times if you stay much longer."

>I blink
"Well shit that was fast, y'know in the two minutes I had to think as a ghost I realized something, we're all doing this wrong."

>>4360662
"I mean...I guess that's smart? Somehow that seems like you're missing the point of something, but I can't quite figure out what it is."

>>4360648
I thank the Frenchman that showed up to rez Owen, and introduce myself.
"Nice to meet ya. We've got another friend who died, down in the sewers...it's been about 12 hours since then, so you might still be able to bring him back."
>I turn to Wade's ghost >>4360658
"Can we get into the sewers without going through the mansion? Shi would probably let us pass, but I don't think he's the one in control of the whole building. That succubus or ol' Barby will probably get suspicious."
>Ayame remembers the sewers perfectly, thankfully, so we can navigate our way out without getting lost

also did Shi have any emotional reaction to Bacon basically saying he expects him to be betrayed by his demon pals

"I have no idea, I doubt it because the sewers were opulent and everything outside is impoverished. If there was an entryway independent from the manor thievery would probably be a factor, but it isn't, which makes me think either the sewer is isolated or the ratmen have a chokehold on outside entries. If there were I wouldn't know where to start looking. I wish I could do more to help."

Hello, Mr. Bacon. 12 hours is a lot of time to stay dead but his body is not rotten yet so it shouldn't be too hard to bring him back. But before I accept to bring back your friend, I must know a bit more about him. It's against my code to revive evil people and normalfags for fear that they make others suffer.
>>
>>4360697
"Fair enough. He's, uh, *definitely* no normalfag. Wade's a total /x/phile with an obsession with some unknown 'slime god'...but he's definitely no Shi either. He doesn't involve innocents in whatever weirdness he does, and he seems to actually respect other 'moralfags' like us. I'd say he's pretty firmly chaotic good. Also, you can talk to him yourself if ya want. His ghost survived and has sorta been chilling with us for a while."

"A scary demonic Jewish black pyramid. There was lanterns too! Me and my team were lanterns. Blue lights worshiping the pyramid. Him stealing notebook pages. Monster of worms. Freak shit Frogman!!" I also give him a purple iris.

I turned to the others!
"Shi-kun I want to help the party with the Wade-kun problem. He's my friend too and they need me as a guide. I think we have some time too. I want to get my stuff back too. I'll give you 4 silver for the trouble." I looked North. "Wade-kun!" I posed. "You got my back!"

"Like is... a bit of an understatement. I rejected her charm spell without any protective ward and ignored her advances while I made a multi-fruit cobbler, and she's a spoiled princess with a sweet-tooth longer than the folding knife in my mediocre hide bag. She seemed obsessed, I don't know how she's taking the fact that I died or if she's even aware, but I imagine she's inclined to lash out."

"I'll be real with you, my favorite threads on /x/ are, or were, the dream discussions and not necessarily paranormal, but certainly unusual, miscellaneous threads where anons would discuss their thoughts on the nature of reality, the divine, and so on. I liked seeing different perspectives mesh and collide. The greentext threads were nice too and there's still some decent ones, but some part of me worries that they've gone downhill since yesteryear. Never was much of a fan of succubi summoning, tulpamancy, cursed image threads, etc. How I came across most of my esoteric knowledge was unrelated to /x/ aside from some book recommendations that got me started, and I'll always be thankful for that."

>this is the box I got from the devil's house right?
Yes.

Mark opens the box and finds inside an oval, polished red stone. He doesn't know what it is, but from the context he feels that it's a secret communication crystal that either Barbatos or Égéphiar use to communicate with a superior.

He tells everyone:

"Meet back here at 1 PM, OK?"

He travels to the middle class part of the city, which is to the south, where the Adventurer's Guild is located. He finds that the place with the most traffic is the open market. It's a good place to do card tricks. He sits in a corner and begins doing basic magic tricks to attract passerbys. Once he has attracted a small crowd around him, he can now do games for money and rob people's money.

Two town guards walk by, holding rapiers on their side.

"What's going on, here? You don't look like an honest merchant, you are a scumbag doing tricks!"

He kicks Mark's hand and makes the cards he was holding fall on the floor. The crowd gets angry at the guard because they found Mark's tricks entertaining. That only angers him more. He wants to arrest the poor clown and grabs him by the shoulder.

Perhaps inspired by Mark, Owen travels to the north-east part of town, to the Noble Quarter. He goes to a romantic garden of roses, one of the rare places in the polluted city that is natural. He sits on a bench, and waits for a rich-looking woman to pass by who he could seduce.

He meets Agnès Boisselot, a woman dressed as a pirate, with a feathered hat and holding two guns in her hands and a rapier on her side. She's middle-aged and red haired, and sits next to him after he whistles at her. While Owen is ugly even for a Japanese man, there are women who find the Yakuza type of men more attractive.

「Natural Creation」Ayame summons a wooden shield of her design, modelled after the large steel shield she's lost in the first dungeon. It is the same power that she's been using to summon flowers. Wood is made of the same substance but requires more mana and expertise. (Describe if the shield bears any specific symbol or otherwise.)

「Druidic Whisper」to Wade, Bacon Koko and Owen: "None of you guys are moralfags because your kindness is real."

Koko is sitting in her bamboo backpack. After hearing the message, he decides to give her his own opinion about those people.

"I like Bacon a lot, nya. Not just because he's named after meat, but also because he's a genuinely good person, nya. The other two, however, I don't trust. THEY HAVEN'T ASKED TO PET ME. Also, be careful of the dog Looney. He may be made of balloons but he's as bad as all the other dogs!!!"

Koko sticks his tongue out.

「GameFAQs」Ayame tries to use her intuition to gather introspective knowledge about Chase, but she hasn't met him and has barely heard about it, so it is difficult to make any conclusion with so little data.

「GameFAQs」The floor of the streets of the Lower Quarter is covered with a dark, sticky liquid, somewhat similar to tar, making it difficult to see what's on the floor, but Ayame is able to find the sewer grate that leads to the Greco-Roman tunnels undernearth.

She serves as guide to Bacon, Sigric and Squiddly, since she's previous stored a perfect map of the sewers in her superhuman memory. At first, she needs some time to understand where exactly they are on the map, but once she has found her bearings, she quickly finds the cavern where Wade has died. Her items are gone: the ratmen have stolen all of them, since that's what they were after to begin with. There, on the altar, lies the body of Wade, with a burned doughnut next to him. An autopsy would reveal that he has died of a heart attack.

「Revival」Sigric takes a look at the corpse. He invokes the name of Odin and trace the sieg rune ᛋ in the air above Wade. As the holy energy begins leaving his hands, a shinigami appears. It stretches its mouth wide open and absorbs all of the energy.

"Wade is part of the dead, do not try to revive him anymore, or you'll regret!" it says with a creepy and menacing voice, before disappearing back to the another plane of existence.

It is now Squiddly's turn to show off his priestly powers.

"Lord Kek! I invoke your power to free this woman from a demonic curse! See this blasphemous oni face, it is an insult to everything you stand for!"

「Remove Minor Curse」Squiddly places his hand on Ayame's face, and the masks falls off. He grabs it from the floor and hands it to her.

"Pleasure to meet ya people, name's Squiddly, High Priest of Kek."

>a thought occurs to me
"HEY WAIT- Before you guys try to resurrect me, could you uhh, see if the magic collar can come off first? The demonologist probably goes through a lot of slaves and won't want to do a complicated disenchantment every time one dies, I think there's a decent chance it'd slide right off. Also... I'm surprised there aren't any visible burns. I could've sworn I smelled some kind of burning meat when I passed into the Great Beyond."

"Well, that's inconvenient. Squiddly, maybe you should try rezzing him. I don't think I have much of a shot here...don't think emo powers have any divine connection."
>I try to pry the collar off with magic (thanks >>4361210), by channeling Wade's desire for freedom to undo the collar.
>While we wait for something to happen, I check my phone to see if my succubus thread got any good replies. Thanks to what I assume is the power of Kek's cheat. it seems to have unlimited battery and internet...as long as I'm only accessing 4chan.

"But we do have someone she wants. That might give us the chance to get the drop on her.

"I think Shi's planning on making his move on the mistress soon...with him gone doing that, the succubus will be less defended."
>I think for a moment
"...Depending on how succubi work here, I might actually have a hard counter to her. If I can purge an emotion from an area, such as, say, 「Lust」...it may either weaken her, make her magic useless, or possibly outright banish or kill her. If that works, I don't have the firepower to go in for a kill, I think, so y'all will have to see to that. But you guys are powerful spellcasters and you're a helluva fighter so you should be able to burst her down given the opportunity."

>points to golden collar.
"This shit is solid gold. Wade said he was willing to let us loot. Is a 4 or 5 way split cool? I don't need the other stuff besides the coins to buy stuff now. I have no cash."

When Bacon tries to magic the collar I say "Willpower UP." And them to talk Wade, "This collar is nothing, in 3 hours we will be cashing it in." I say these in hope one of my feats activates.

When Squiddly rezs I scream! "Wisedom Up! Fuck you sugar daddy!"

If it works I jump and dance! "Thank you Kek priest!""

>Oh shit! I have to zombie the that bitch first!
「Druidic Whisper」
"Wade-kun! Shi-kun's gonna be real fucking mad if we kill the succ before the guild lady and he comes back for good boy points! I will get mad pretty princess points if I zombie her and I'm going to buy stuff for Shi-kun, but I have stuff left over I will ask how can one become a warrlock or steal a sorcerer spark from a town's person safely. Helping with that anyway but this will be easier. Bring guild bitch back to the living if you want just go take her when I'm not there. Please tell Mark-kun to give us more time."

「Druidic Whisper」
"Shi-kun! Holy shit! Mark the clown guy is giving us 1 fucking hour to go down with the plan! I will meet you outside the guild hall or whereever the fuck, but Mark needs to stall."

If we somehow get back this turn I run to the outside the guild hall or to Shi wants me to go and wait for him. I don't run until the anons don't see me. I also give Koko to Bacon to watch.

>I also give Koko to Bacon to watch.
Guess I look after Koko. I pet him for good measure.
"Honestly, we should probably wait 'til later to kill the succ...we'll want more than an hour of prep, and we need to time it to where Shi won't be in our way."
>for now, I head back to the guild and ask what the price on all those scrolls Shi stole was
IC, Bacon doesn't know Shi is letting us kill the succubus

EDGELORD BONUS

Shi is now the target of gangstalking. His enemies insult him in every post, either out of anger or as a form of virtue signaling. This is the ultimate acknowledgment of his Edginess. This negative energy is in turn absorbed by the Edgelord cheat and transformed into a bonus. The +3 RS Edgelord bonus to all actions extends for one more turn.
