Also, here's all the archived threads so far, for reading up on, or anyone who doesn't know what this is all about.

>advice
dude, advice is.. actually, you're probably better off staying in here.
so. tl;dr. what's up?

>>12871793

Pretty good.

I've got like loads of work to do, but ahfuckitall, it's story time right?

>>12871812
You didn't write this up before hand did you? Fuck... oh well, please begin telling your tale so I can f5 like fist of the north star.

>>12871836

I did for some of it, like last time.

I'll start posting.

tl;dr = Essentially last time, "that girl" Illora snuck into my guy's room, and tearfully confessed that everything that was going on in the world and everything she'd achieved was too much for her. She was plagued with guilt and regret, and wished to take it all back.

Seeking amends, she said she was giving up the evil act and wanted to do good. She said that she would use her powers to help people, and make up for what she was. Despite it all though, and the fact that she bore me no ill will, if I tried to stop her from making amends, she may have to kill me despite not wanting to, but would drop out of world affairs if that was the case.

That was last time.

So, starting with the next game, my guy woke up early in the morning. Just a habit of his by now, so I didn't even need to roll or anything.

Getting in my pimping new wheelchair, I went out and started to make breakfast. My sister soon joined me, wakened by her husband who was getting ready for work. So she helped me make breakfast before the husband came down, as well as my mother, and we all had breakfast before he headed out to work.

After that, I convinced my sister to head into town to go shopping for whatever, and to take mother with her. It wasn't exactly their weekly trip yet, but she figured it wouldn't hurt to go early, or simply twice that week.

So they obliged, and a short while later they left, making sure we were fine there.

Now it was just me and Illora who as of yet remained absent.

>>12871877
Oh shit... I must have missed more than I remember. What happened with the whole "Next Morning Gypsies Gonna Wreck Shop"?

I have returned! Let us see where this goes.

>>12871952

That's this time, what happened. I'm getting to it.

---

So I made breakfast for her, because why not? Then I headed to her room and knocked, no answer. Slowly making my way in, I saw her still sleeping, laying sprawled out across the bed and drooling on her pillow. Clearly not as refined as she liked to put on.

Also next to the bed was her arm and her leg. True to her word, she took them off to sleep, as she inferred previously that she couldn't sleep with them lest she injure herself while asleep.

Well, what else to do but wheel over and open the curtains, let the sun in. I told her wakey wakey, she groaned and pulled the covers over her head, asking for five more minutes.

Before wheeling out, she asks if the family is still here. I tell her no but ask why. She says if she'd rather eat before washing up, so she won't need to get dressed or anything fancy yet.

She said she'd be ready in a bit, I could do whatever till then. So I headed back to the kitchen, set her up a plate and such, while I assume she reattached her prosthetics.

>>12872002
>no surprise buttsecks
wtf wrong with u?

So sure enough, I hear the thumping of her leg a short while later and she comes in and sits down. I guess she only put her limbs back on, because she was still in the underwear she slept in. Good thing the family was out.

So she ate and said it was really good. The chefs back at home and in Spain always had the best ingredients, but the way they prepared it couldn't compare.

Other than that we just talked about all sorts of crap. It was nice, and almost exactly like the old character interaction we had, back when things were normal.

>>12872065

My dude's a cripple goddammit! I don't even think he can get it up, cripples can't right? At least not easily... or whatever, this is weird conversation.

Plus you know... she's like a murderer cyborg monster.

---

So talking about this and that, what she and the group have been doing, what they need to do, and what she needs to do when she gets back. Things for the country. Admittedly it mostly went over my head because I don't know allot about politics and running nations.

Also we talked about the thing that happened the night before, how she was going to proceed. Among other things she inferred; "I used to care about politics and changing the world. I'm done with all of that, I just want to help people."


Also pic related, she gets another portion.

So eventually she finishes up, I take care of the dishes and cleaning so she can go wash or get dressed or whatever, and get ready to leave.

I finish after awhile, and a bit later she come back in her red attire (I think she must have like multiples of the same set, hence why it's like what she's always wearing). Her carriage won't be here for another hour or two, so she suggests we go for another walk.

Nothing big, she just pushes me around, past some fields and forest. Noticeably, a different way from the day prior.

We get back to the house, and just sit outside together waiting for her ride. Some more talking, but about nothing in particular, some stuff about her augmentations and the process involved. Mostly watching the time pass though really.

>>12872236
>>12872202
Come on broski, those could have been written together in half the time they were posted. Head in the game, mang.

So her ride pulls up, and after she hefts her luggage I see her off. Noticeably inside, I could make out someone familiar, although I couldn't tell where from. Regardless, I just waved it off.

Before stepping in, we said our goodbyes. She wondered if maybe we could meet again under different, better circumstances. The world was in a strange place and time now.

I responded "Hey don't worry, we'll get through this together, alright?"

So, like, is this some kind of awkward in-game romance story?

>>12872254

Pic related.

---

So I see her carriage pull off, and I head back in, prepare for the gypsies to arrive. THANKFULLY everyone is gone.

About another hour or two later and they show up, armed to the teeth and looking for blood. I'm the only one there though, so their efforts are wasted.

We meet up and I explain things of what was happening for them to clear the air, but leave out that Illora apparently seeks to reform her ways.

>>12872293
Considering that these threads began with OP's character lying in a ditch in the middle of Noweherski, Russia in mid winter after "that girl" recently broke his back and amputated a leg and an arm...

Not really.

>>12872293

Yes, we love each other and would never hurt the other.

---

So I go over with them more details, plans she had and things she intends to do. Eventually they figure I'm still worth something to them and likely haven't turned sides, but I'm on thin ice with them. I guess they really didn't like seeing her, especially not me with her.

I tell them to be back in a few days, we'll go over things in more detail and such and plan whatever course of action. Until then I'd like to spend time with my family.

Anyway so seeing them off, I head back in and wait for family to come home. The husband won't be back until later as usual, but mother and sister should be home soon. With Illora and the gypsies gone, it's nice just to take things easy and spend time with them.

Over the next few days, I ponder the situation of everything while spending time with family. Illora's confession, the actions and reactions of the gypsies, my own prospects and what I'm to do.

Eventually gypsies arrive a few days later and I go back with them, while discussing all sorts of things on the way to try and restore their confidence in me. It sort of works, they at least believe that I can still provide them will all sorts of valuable information.

They're still not sure if I turned tail on them and am "knocking boots with the bloody half-form (their nickname for her)" though, whatever that means.

>>12872431
Do you . . . do you not know what "knocking boots" means? Really?

It means boning her, nailing her, fucking her, whatever you want to call it at the moment.

I don't know if I should feel tremendously old for knowing that or not.

That said, carry on.

Anyway, so now we're headed back to civilization the lot of us, and I'll be back at my desk in a few days.

I don't think I can really do police work anymore, but at least one thing before I consider leaving or doing anything else, I aim to find out who the mole is, working for Illora.

---

Anyway so that's where things finished off. Next game I'll be back in the city, and ready to act from there, for whatever purposes.

At least, as far as I can tell, I don't need to worry about Illora's looming sword overhead, as long as I don't do anything against her. Assuming she was telling the truth that is.

>>12871761
I got online today JUST TO SEE IF YOU POSTED!
YAY!
NOW TYPE GODDAMNIT!

nice to see your still in, so revenge still a dish best served cold or are you going to stick it out with the old magics?

>>12872459

Sarcastic sarcasm can't really be inferred across the spanse of internet and typed words I guess.

Yes, I know what it means. Thank you though for explaining it to me regardless. Again, everyone, even the gypsies are under the impression that my guy is even capable of the sex.

---

Anyway so yeah, what should be my next course of action? I mean I've got a good idea from the last few threads, but anything new to do or add, given these recent turn of events?

I'm sure finding the mole is top priority.

find the mole and confront them, tell them you don't like sniches, then drop of the ye olde radar and get your legs working.

>>12872504

Well I said in the last few threads, but more and more it looks like my options are being limited to magic or Nemo, or that third route.

It's appearing more and more that I simply can't compete with her in terms of common tech of the day, and save for maybe getting myself walking again, I shouldn't try to go about robotting myself up to try and compete with her in that way.

So yes, I think magic is looking to be perhaps the most probable course of action to take.

>>12872512
release information (that is wrong) to a select group of people, see if said information is acted upon, rinse and repeat as necessary.

>>12872561
what about a mixture of technology and magic?

>>12872512
Moles, bugs, and tails. Moles, bugs, and tails.

>>12872557

Duly noted, and what I plan to do.

One thing before I leave though, is I wanted to finish the investigation on Illora and the formal ball. The only part left, I can do without suspicion or being found out.

With the gypsies help I can get access to a mystic, and with my dead comrade's belongings, including the dead Prince, I can contact their spirits to get their takes on everything, and help if I missed anything or they know something I don't.

>>12872561

If going magic, yes finding the gypsies mole first will be very important. This could get you the pull you need to get started on the path to magic. The really important thing about this is make sure you have irrefutable proof of the mole. If not it is just going to make you look bad.

>>12872583

Can't be done, unless with Nemo tech. The Outsider demonstrated this.

>>12872568

Yeah, if I figure out who the mole is and it's someone familiar, then I can keep a fairly good job of doing this, when needed.


>Meriet Writing

Hey, just like Dungeon Denizens quest!

Time for more GRIM, TERRIBLE FANART

Figured I'd do a shot of Markus and The Police all JoJo'd up.

>>12872599
Good good. I like the Mystic help angle. She won't be able to do much about that...

As for the mole, you might want to engineer something unfortunate to happen to him. If he's under you, plant some evidence of something on him and have him locked away - death row if possible. Get him to sing. Find out what intermediary she used. Rinse and repeat.

>>12872620

I'm almost fairly certain the mole isn't with the gypsies. Illora knew of my work habits, which even the gypsies don't know, so I believe the mole is someone in the police department.

>>12872648

Yours is the best art. I doubt anyone else cares enough about things to compare.

>>12872659

The problem with getting rid of the mole, in terms of disposing of them as some people said, is that they'll just get replaced, and in eliminating them it will raise Illora's suspicion.

As far as she knows, assuming I even know about the mole, I'm just going to go back to my old life and line of work.

Anyway, as long as I know who it is, as long as I'm leaving anyway and it's someone at work, they can't follow me. They're not going to give up their work as well, plus that'd be too obvious.

>>12872648

Might as well post the other art, it deserves a place here.

>>12872634
Well for time passing's sake I guess the mole is a good route. However, I would profess that the mole may not be as simple an issue to root.
Think of it this way, there may not be a mole, but a network of complacency and subjugation. Ergo, she has the members of the police under wraps and that's why there is no further investigation.

Ditching that chair right? Paranoia at full blown right now. I presume that it has the ability to transmit your location and or audio letting her know where you are and what you have said to who. Meaning she has no contacts in the gypsies aside from you making everything you do with them blackmail potential. It also means that what you have said she may now know making you an unintentional mole.
I suspect this, trouble when you get back to the precinct. If trouble, paranoia verified, if none, then I fear she is biding her time for when you do something. Which is even worse.

Again, ditch the chair, pay the Outside a visit if possible. Do the spooky speak to the dead thingy with any one you can. Anyone. Especially an old close contact of hers maybe?

>>12872719
>>12872648

>>12872706

Throwing Stands into a roleplaying campaign tends to help :V

>>12872660

My mistake I thought in one of the last threads she reviled a mole in the gypsy ranks which had me hella nervous for you. Probably me just Mixing up sentences. If the gypsies are safe I say get out of the city. The best thing you can do is use him to feed false information. What I would do is plant info that you are going some were to work for a while. Maybe someplace warm claiming the cold hurts the amputated areas so you can cover your tracks leaving the city. That way she does not know when and were you left too.

>>12872746
the mole wasn't definitive, it was assumed.
Her knowledge versus what he has done, to accurate for guesses.

>>12872724

On my to-do list. Like, right up there after getting fixed.

>>12872721

I don't think she could have a network of surveillance, my superiors don't like her at all. If she's got someone spying on me, and in the police, then I don't think she could get it under their noses with having multiple cronies of hers. Just a thought.

As for the creepy converse undead thing, it can only work with dead people of course, and if I have some belonging or vestige of that person. All my old friends I have that for, same for the Prince. The only other person I'm aware Illora's killed (I mean she's probably killed others, but I wouldn't know) is her former husband, but I don't have a way to get something of his.

As for the Outsider, as said in previous threads, I think given her current state, meeting her would be impossible. If I want to see her, it would have to be done by breaking in there, and in doing so, might as well break her out. It's really like a one way street with her.

I mean I suppose I could use my position maybe to see her, but that's like a huge if. The English are really big on keeping her locked up and away from everyone.

>>12872719
>>12872723

The last thread explained The Police, but the short version is that it's a Stand that can force people to re-enact events based on memory. Figured it would be a savory tool of revenge.

>>12872764

Yeah I mean that's also true.

We're assuming she has a mole, which makes the most sense, but we have no way of being 100% sure. For all we know, she could have been stalking us herself or with some drone, the whole time.

>>12872804

Yes yes, we have the thread archived for just that purpose.

I even showed it to her and the DM, so she and him would know, and make sure it was allowed.

>>12872821
ALSO OP, REMEMBER:
Have gypsy mystic put REGENERATIVE MOJO on your damaged spine.
Get MACHINE CURSE RING and have it ready for Crazy Bitch.

>>12872841

I'm just explaining it again to anyone who didn't want to look up the last one and was wondering "Hey, where'd all this sexy fanart come from".

I'm really looking forward to it, so forgive me if I sound pushy :V I will bottle my enthusiasm from now on.

>>12872841

Oops, that's me.

Anyway I gotta get food for like 10 mins, be back in a bit.


(Kidding by the way, about showing to her the thread lol)

>>12872870

And I was gonna ask what she thought of the idea! Well, better to drop it on her. More fun that way.

>>12872821
That's a good point. The herself or a drone that is.
If we have given her way to much credit thinking that she has generated great influence just doesn't sit right when you think of it. She has influence and money but she doesn't use them outside of doing it on her own.

Here is a really really wierd, and /x/ style thought, but it hinges on if its actually happening. Walk (roll) down a street with a camera (assuming its not to huge) with it pointing behind you. Stop, snap a picture of where you have been. Do this about 1-5 times depending on the ease of replacing the silver plate (old cameras used metal silver plates and various other things but just a thought).
Once developed you might get an insight on things you didn't notice before. I imagined you seeing her staring at you from behind or a drone thingy floating in the distance tracking you expertly. That and the thin man... but in reality it would be an interesting thing to do.

you seem to have a pritty good handel on the plan now, ditch the mole idea if you can't find/prove who it is, sell the chair and dissapear should be next after you finish your investigation then legs. after that your your own man, eather plot your revenge in full, show her a better way to improve the world or kick start world war 1.

I'm back lol, this milking shake is purdy good.

>>12872855

HE'S A MYSTIC NOT A HEALER

You nasty little boy!

The ring could probably work though.

>>12872915

Or she gets progressively closer in each picture, despite the different locations. In each, she's holding up the peace sign and smiling.

Going through each picture, closer and closer till it's just an image of her robot eye.

A few weeks later, coworkers enter Markus' premises because he hasn't shown up in awhile. One of the guys finds a stack of photos. They seem to be of Markus in different locations around the city, progressively getting closer with each picture, smiling and holding three fingers up to the camera.

>>12873054

50% Rock, 50% Roll

It's always an idea to go 'hey sure I'll join you' and then start plotting right under her nose.

But it's best to assume she'll keep a close eye on you even when you have her thinking you're on her side. An easy way to fix yourself up, with her money and all.

It's actually pretty dumb, but thought I'd mention it anyway.

>>12873306

Don't rip off Wall-E, man :V

Trying to design The Police's Requiem form. I have the perfect metaphor to represent it but getting the design down is tricky.

>>12873319

Well the closer you are to danger, the farther you are from harm.

However we have to assume that even if she doesn't expect anything of me, that she'd at least keep a close eye on me for the purposes that we'd be together again.

I imagined us skipping through a field of flowers, me bouncing along in my wheelchair.

>>12873351

What's being ripped off of Wall-E?

On a semi-related note, Up was a shitty movie. Not necessarily because the movie itself was bad, but because it robbed the Academy Award nomination from The Secret of Kells.

>>12873397

So what's your next move once you get back to the city.

>>12873397

The whole zooming in the background until only the robotic eye is seen. They did that when they were looking at the photos of the past captains.

>>12873445
that kind of sight gag is a lot older than wall-e

>>12873443

Find out the mole, then contact a mystic for talking with dead friends. Beyond that though I'm not really sure, other than get out of the city.

>>12873445

1) I never even noticed that.
2) I was referring to a creepypasta about a girl in a series of pictures who kills people, and the last picture is always of their eye. The only reason I said robot eye is because Illora has a robot eye too.

And that's the story of the time I made a summary of why we had a disparity in communication.

Ah, using this tablet is such a pain in the ass. Fullbody shots are a nightmare. You're getting another closeup for this one I'm afraid.

>>12873537

Anything is appreciated! Thanks again for everything.

Thanks to everyone for everything!

For example, here's why I could never run a quest.

Thinking far ahead, but any plans for if you do get your revenge on her?

>>12873537
May scanner is broke, or I would contribute somethin.
Alas, I don't know why vista won't understand the vista drivers for said scanner... ugh, vista...

Well OP, all thats left is a really really good recap of the events of your next game. To bad I have to wait until Friday again. I would love to have a role play group like this and I like the setting. My IRL group is on hiatus because of personal scheduling... and so on, On line games have been my own outlet.

>>12873560

I kinda like that one. "YEAH I'M SO METAAAAAAAAL"

>>12873566

If I do get my revenge, it'd be either that I built a force to oppose her, or simply did it myself. If I built a force, then I'd probably become like Big Boss and his Militaires sans Frontieres.

If I did it by myself, then I'd probably just step back and let history take its course.

>>12873609

Shit that's me again.

>>12873588

Well that's a shame for you, I'm sorry.

On my end I don't think we'll be playing this coming week, what with Thanksgiving. I suppose the thread I make on Saturday will just be a retrospective one, detailing some past events from the game that people care to know about, like the Formal Ball event, the first TPK, the incident with the Lich, fighting the Outsider, or anything else really.

Only if people are interested though.

>>12873600

You may like it, but I don't.

Ive been following your story, and the way I see it, you should just murder your own family so she cant get at you, and chalk it up to massive sanity loss

>>12873554

Cool, are you willing to go learn magic. I can easily think of a few steps to be taken to get a huge jump start on your magic career.

1. Take the confiscated occult books the police have collected when you leave the city. The gypsies mystic can probably tell you which ones are garbage and which ones contain real power.

2. Make contact with the Fey. Fairy tells are rife with people making deals with Fey for boons. Whether it is skill as a magician, your body fixed, or even both, all are within reach if you strike a deal with the Fey. Another benefit with dealing with Fey and not demons is generally Fey do not want your soul. A good deal can often do more than offering your soul will. My idea for the deal is "I will use your boon to kill "that girl" causing WWI and give the Fey needed time to recover their strength so they can take back their place in the world." With that deal not only can you get a boon you technically have not given them any thing either that you would not already have done.

All right, here we go - The Police Requiem! This form is achieved when The Police is stabbed with the same Stand Arrow that originally gave Markus the power of the Stand. Its ability is to switch, dampen, or increase the relationships people hold with each other. At the height of its power, it can dampen the bonds people hold in an entire city, forcing everyone to think selfishly and live only for themselves.

Why do such a thing? Well, look at the face hanging in the middle of its chest, look at the betrayal and evil close friends have inflicted on Markus.

Maybe then you'll realize there are no heroes left in man.

>>12873618
One of the bigger elements of this game was correspondence. And through this I envision you sending out letters that are sent back to a post box that you pay someone else to check. Through this contact you maintain tabs on the world as you know it. Sending your letters out all signed "Disarmed Policeman' just so that very few would know who you were.
Batman complex and all... except more sinister... with a huge amount of foreboding.
Like a letter to the outsider that you somehow manage to get to him (worth investigating honestly) with each one signed with that mantra. Become the BBEG (sorta) and extract her from this world so that it may develop on its own terms instead of the terms inflicted on others through a tyrannical ideal of one!

*cough*
but then again, my vision of your character and the future may be different than how you go forward. Again, fun game, wish I had a game like that going right now...

>>12873720
>One of the bigger elements of this time was correspondence.
I meant time... not game...

If you go the magic route ,would it be possible to ressurect the prince just to fuck with her mind?

>>12873770

I suppose it could be possible, but that's like waaaaaaaaaaay out there in terms of capability. I assume you mean like he was, just dead. If you mean just like a walking corpse then that's slightly more doable.

Seeing him again though, would probably be horrible for her, like a nightmare.

>>12873712

Um... wat? Something about switching alliances?

Sorry, I got lost.

>>12873631

I could never! I'd rather be a grieving Policeman than a murderer Policeman!

>>12873689

#1 is very doable. I might get in some big trouble if I got caught later, but the chances of that are low.

#2's only problem is that I don't believe there are any Fey left in the world that powerful. At least none that would be easy to get ahold of. Keep in mind, even most common magic users don't associate with the natural world/magic.

It's a good idea though, I'll look into it.

>>12873720

What would be in these letters? I like your idea.

Also for clarification the Outsider is female.

>>12873836

Let me explain with words! Say Person A dislikes Person B, while Person B likes Person C. Person A is indifferent to Person C. The Police Requiem can:

-make Person A HATE Person B with an utter passion, even more than normal.
-make Person A LOVE Person B, in an opposite twist.
-make Person A like Person C instead of Person B, who is now indifferent about Person C.

These are a few of the things that can be done.

>>12873987

That is something I don't think would be allowed unfortunately, changing people's hearts and minds.

>>12874011

Requiem forms are, in nature, pretty broken. I would definitely emphasize the Requiem form as a final battle, dramatic license kind of ability as a result.

By the way, you said the time period was around WWI, right? Hmmm, 30 years later and you could've easily introduced some Nazi cyborgs or something...

>>12874296

It's 1885. Because of the situation with Nemo though, WWI looks to be coming up fast.

As for Nazi's, someone in another thread said that if ever Germany became a Republic, Illora would abuse it and become the next Hitler. And if she didn't I should convince her.

Which I said, would be hilarious because it's something she totally would do, based on a previous game.

>>12874322

...yeah, let's kill her before that happens.

Well, while I'm here and staying up, got any other ideas for me to doodle, Policeman?

>>12874363

Or just remove her from a position to act out her powers.

If she really is honest about reforming, that is.

>>12874434

I don't buy her bullshit. If she was serious, she'd quit all the political shit right then and there.

>>12874434
Again, I think you should convince her that she has no faculty for 'reform', at least not at the moment. Convince her that you'll help guide her, until she's ready. Now you have a tenous position of power, from which point you can do whatever you want.

She seems unwilling to give up power, however, so you have to convince her she's still in charge.

>>12874466

Without it though she can't do anything.

>>12874470

That's actually a good idea I think. Because she wouldn't object to that, and it seems entirely possible.

The only problem is the other group, and that one guy, who would probably find ways to turn her against me again. I think at the moment, she's very emotionally weak and susceptible to influence.

>>12874429

I dunno lol, maybe Illora crushing my guy. Something similar to pic related I suppose?

Just a suggestion, you can draw whatever you want.

>>12874515
That's true. It would be a gamble; you're betting everything on whether or not you have the most influence on her. Still, she's asking for forgiveness, your forgivness; grant it on these conditions, and she might turn your way.

>>12874537

Very true, I mean just from what I've seen it could totally be an option.

The only thing is, that it negates the possibility for revenge (going down this route, I'm sorry but I couldn't do that to her if she was being honest). Although, considering the possibilities, revenge may not be necessary.

You're right though, I could totally just go back with her, and we could go back to how things used to be. It'd really only be that other guy against me, and she relates with me probably better than anyone. The rest of the party just follow her because she's strong and gives them gifts and such.

>>12874537
PS Plan B is hide with the Gyps.

Also, I just reread today's post, and you keep using inferred instead of implied. Sorry, just a pet peeve.

>>12874554
Hmmmmmm.

I can see how you'd have moral problems backstabbing her, despite everything. So now you have to weight the options.

You can change her, and the world, for the better. But is it worth giving up your entire motivation up to this point.

Deep man.

PS I tire of anon.

>>12874554

Forget that. She's done evil deeds that can't go unpunished. Gain her trust and use it to rout her from within.

>>12874589

I don't know. I mean I don't want to let everyone down with that option, but looking at it now, it seems to be best way to wrap up all loose ends.

She made mistakes, huge mistakes, but she realizes that and seeks forgiveness. Is forgiving her the equivalent of copping out? Things would just go back to the way they were when we were all one big happy group.


I'm not saying this is the route I'll take, yet, but it definitely is something to consider...

>>12874563

>Are you trying to infer something sir?

>>12874590

Sure, she can face justice. But I think for awhile now, personal revenge has been taken out of the picture. And facing justice doesn't entail killing her.

>>12874322
>It's 1885

You know, OP, I ran across your archived threads awhile back and I started thinking...

Why are you aiming to reform or negate your nemesis? Why would you seek to undo the good she has done in hand with the evil?

OP, I think you should kill her.

In 1880, August Fiedler of Stronsdorf, Austria developed the world's first telescopic lens with the intent of making telescopic sights for rifles. In 1885 Winchester produced a single-shot with higher muzzle-velocity than other bolt-action rifles of the time. If you're not confident of your aim, then purchasing a bolt-action rifle may work better. But you'll need to fire more than once.

Train with your rifle everyday, shooting as often as you can but avoiding notice from even those you would call friends and allies. A simple claim that you are investigating crimes abroad should suffice for covering your tracks, but take winding trips and avoid contact with people as often as possible. Always -appear- to be going out of town, but never go where you say you will. Allow your enemy to become the hero that unites Europe and save the downtrodden...

Then shoot her. Aim for the abdomen, preferably a lung or the liver. Something that, cybernetics or not, she will not survive. Shoot twice if necessary. You won't escape, because you're a cripple. When you are arrested, attest to your target's good nature. Let her be a hero, and let the secret of the villain you killed go to the grave with you.

Which, admittedly, will probably be immediately after you're tried. You know, for murder.

Either way: Good luck.

>>12874644
>Copping out.

Sorry.

Anyway, after reading your exploits, I don't think it will ever be back to normal. But at least you'll all be on the same side again. Also, does she deserve some punishment, other than death. But... You know WWII came about from punishments from WWI. Either be fair or destroy her absolutely.

>infer something sir

You are a funny dude, I'll give you that. Had trouble typing this up with all the laughing.

>>12874690

See, this is why I suggested he get a Stand, preferably one that can operate at a range away from his person. It's gonna be hard to prove who killed her if she's beaten to death by an otherwise invincible magical construct.

>>12874690
This thread, and specifically this post, are why I love /tg/. We're always full of people with differing ideas, but they're usually pretty good ones.

>>12874690

I've and other people have said, if I just wanted to kill her, I probably could have done it already.

I'm not doing this just for myself though, I'm trying to provide an interesting narrative for the players. This needs to be more than just a personal revenge assassination quest.

It'll take longer, and it probably won't be as gratifying, but the end result will be more rewarding for everyone, as dumb as that may sound

>>12874717

The end result of my treatment of her will come to be decided in these next few sessions I believe.

>>12874849
Well, I hope you consider my idea.

And good luck.

>>12874897

I consider everyone's ideas here. Even the crazy or impossible ones, because chances are I'll probably find a way to use them one way or the other.

Come on, Illora. Can't you see this guy is in pain?

>>12875092

ehehehe

hahahah

AHAHAHAHAHA

WAAAGHHAAAAAGHHAAAAAGHWAAAAGH


That's actually hilarious. Saved.

>>12875122

Glad you liked it. Only good thing I could put the bitch in. Man, I'm tired. Think I'll knock off for the night and come back tomorrow and see how this thread is doing then.

>>12875191

Yeah, same here. Thanks again for the drawings, preciate it muchly.

Good thread, I'll be on if it's on tomorrow. Hope it holds up.

archive for what its worth

Hey, it's me again. I've got a question - exactly how much information from these threads have you made known by your gaming group?

>>12878188

You mean how much do they know?

Nothing I think, I haven't shown or told them anything.

>>12878647

What about the DM?

>>12878692

No one.

I mean I've asked if I could do certain things, like if such a spell would be possible to craft, or such an artifact could exist/be found.

Nothing about any plans though.

My apologies for missing the thread. ...It sounds like Illora might not be completely evil, and definitely has it bad for Markus. ...Time will tell if her change of heart will result in any changes of action, but fortunately traveling the world and gaining magical power and allies is a rather time consuming process.
I think you can trust the wheelchair (for as long as you'll need it) as I don't think steampunk is capable of transmitting your location, much less what you see/say across the world.
Also regarding completing your investigation, make sure it's unofficial, and only done with the mystic, so Illorra won't be able to find out. If she does, you can just say that you wanted to say goodbye to your old companions before starting a new phase of your life. Retire/take an extended vacation from the police, as you're being spied on and it doesn't seem like you'll be able to accomplish much, especially if you're still in that wheelchair and missing an arm.

>>12878744

Right-o. It will be interesting to see how this unfolds over the coming weeks.

>>12878762
Also throwing your life away just to kill her is for jerks, and in the very unlikely event that you'll be able to get a Stand, it'll probably be endgame material. (Try to rephrase it as something different to your gms, like don't just go 'it's from JoJo's bizarre adventure' but say something about an 'extension of your soul' or some metaphysical claptrap)
Also, I think you just came up with a great idea in this thread for your ultimate goal: Become Big Boss, but focused more on magic users instead of soldiers. Aim to create a 'mage's paradise' where they won't be forgotten and ignored.

>>12878762

Yeah, I'm ousting the mole first, so that I can contact a mystic without being suspected.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.

Get Nemo tech, burn Europe, restore "normal" history, with the rise of the United States and the rise to power of other former colonies, and the rise to power of the colonies.

In the end, she'll unleash a terrible burning weapon on you.

But you'll keep marching. And as your flesh burns away, you will lift her up with your robotic skeleton, high above the remains of the Louvre (ahk, my heart, so much lost culture), and whisper "And the girl in red though she could be the difference, but in the end, the future refused to change."

>>12878808

Yeah, I think sort of like what Nemo's doing, making a havens somewhere, but in our case for magic people.

>>12878808

Yeah, have a good explaination when you bust this out, and be ready to tinker with it to make it work. Most Stands have tons of advantages, so it might have to be balanced a bit more. Still, Stands ARE an extension of your metaphysical self, so it's not like you're lying.

DP, I was curious as to what role religion has to play in the campaign. I mean, do angels exist and do they grant certain abilities to the devout and the faithful etc. I know you had a nun-type character in your party, but I forget what role she played.

If you're aiming to get magic abilities, see if you can gain Illora's old method of detecting deception. You know, just for kicks.

I recall you mentioning that both the Ottoman's and Nemo have been able to combine technology and magic. Could the method used to do so be as simple as making sure each part of the machine, every gear, cog, and spring, is individually enchanted?

>>12879579

Religion is pretty big, although not as big ass it used to be. And not because of Nemo or anything, just simply because overtime devotion to Relgion has become less important in favor of devotion to your nation, similar to the real world in those years.

It's still a prominent thing, but not so much as that people structure their lives around it as much anymore. That said, Religion in it's various forms have provided much use to many countries in combating magic and the like.

Like our Nun character, I call her a Nun simply because she worked for the church, but really she was our expert on all things occult/magical. If we encountered some monster, she knew how to kill it. If there was some ward or curse on a place, she knew how to break it. As an actual role she was like a cleric, helping with buffs and stuff as an ordained church mage.

In practice though she was like a Sister of Battle I suppose, she was a good fighter too and had some various strong items to help.

As for angels and demons, they're known to exist. Just that, it's rare if ever that people encounter holy entities/powers, whereas demons are much more willing to show themselves and interact with people. It's kind of like in the real world how you have Saints, and accounts of people interacting with demons. Just that, those accounts are known to be true.

Just because of the presence of the church and it's powers though (catholic) however, doesn't mean Judeo-Christian religions are the only religions to be seen as having tangibility or the dominant religion. Hinduism, Paganism, etc... all have presences in the setting.

It's just that as I said, with Religion not such a big factor anymore, and in most cases religious displays and vestiges of power limited to the utmost highest ordained members, it's become more like what Religion is in the world today, rather than what it was with actual events affecting people.

>>12879603

Yeah, it'd probably be not too hard to learn, it's pretty basic. She just can't do it because of her robot-ness.

>>12879660

The Ottomans I believe can pull it off, because the integrate magic into the process of industry. Making sure the tech they produce is sound with magic and vise verse.

Nemo doesn't exactly combine technology with magic, so much as that his machinery and science simply isn't affected by magic, nor does it affect magic. They can coexist perfectly.

What's the other party doing during all of this? We hear about you and Illora, but not much about them.

You guys are fucking terrible at this. Is every problem a nail? I've read all of the previous threads, and your "nuke-it-from-orbit" or "hurrhurr BATMAN" solutions suck.

HERE is what you do Disarmed Policeman. Its REALLY easy.

Ok, you marry the bitch. This allows you to rejoin the party and keep playing and stops all of these silly shenanigans. Make her life the happiest she will ever have. Grow old with her. And, when shes old, full of love, and on her death bed, whisper softly into her ear "I never loved you". Now, walk out, lock the door, and let her die alone and unloved.

Seriously /tg, learn to mindfuck.

>>12880625

Not quick or explode-y enough.

>>12880439

That's because I don't know much about them and what they've been doing. I'm not at a point where I can just keep a tab on them. I know they've been off adventuring, and currently have a down time, but I don't know much beyond that.

>>12880625

I don't actually have to marry her to rejoin the party though.

>>12880625
But... Shenanigans are expected. That's why DP didn't just reroll, because his group wants to see what he can come up with.
Oh and DP, encourage the people in your group who are GMing to get creative. The more imaginative they get, the more opportunities you have. ...Especially because you're not quite a fountain of new ideas.

>>12882229

Meh, I'm not even going to bother to deny that.

The DM's give out good quests for me though.

Yeah, it's clear storytelling is the main focus here in this game, so while I'd recommend quick and brutal murder under most circumstances, looks like there isn't much harm in drawing it out a bit this time.

>>12882251

When dealing with a mole the best solution is not the obvious method of getting rid of him. Getting the mole outed will only get him replaced, as will outright avoiding him. With mole being replaced not only do you not know who the new mole will be, you will have to start looking for him instead of acting on your plan. Instead it is better to feed the mole information you want him to hear. This way you control what information is going back and forth and can manipulate your target to your advantage.

>>12882505

Except in this case I know who the mole works for.

I get the idea though, I can't kill them so just lead them on until I go away.

>>12882546
Try to leave within the month (game-time) if not earlier. It seems unlikely that Illora has spies all across the world, so you should probably be fine one you leave Europe.
Also, it's kind of weird how friendly Illora was with Markus in the morning. Especially after Illora seemed emotionally devastated by their earlier conversation.

>>12882721

She was still distraught the time, just that during her stay she was less the ambitious, murderous royal cyborg, and more the young rogue and friend of old.

Regardless of her actions, she remained fairly heavy-headed for the remainder of her stay.

---

I don't know if Markus will be leaving Europe altogether, but definitely getting out of the cities, probably the country.

>>12882505
Fuck i read this in his voice.

Would you explain the details of the system you use to me? I know you mentioned it was homebrewed, but beyond that, I dunno.

>>12883259

Mostly roleplay talking-based, with actions and successes determined by dice. There are things like character sheets and cost/effective tables present, but generally we play without rulesets and books and such.

That's like, a basic summary, I assume that's what you were looking for?

>>12883302

Can you give me an example of how these sheets and tables are set up? Are we talking just lists of skills here?

>>12883324

Yeah pretty much. Each DM has used different sheets usually, but to the same effect.

Just basic things like character details, skills, possessions, physical traits and abilities.

Like right now I think my current sheet is one for L5R, while Illora's is Shadowrun. Overtime we've just lost or had to redo them, and simply used what the DM had at the time but for the same purpose.
