IT'S TIIIIIIIIME!

>Total Exp 190


January 19th

Your travels are unimpeded after that initial bandit attack... Everyone's gotten restless from the lack of humans, save for Schwere, Armbrust, you, and Ivan... Or perhaps the four of you just handle it a bit better.

As you break the mountain pass you notice that the air is a bit... crisper here. Even despite the cold. It's the air of a mountain valley, and the settlement here is rather large, though without walls.

You see that there are many residential houses set up, likely with some sort of tradesmen in each, or at the least owning or working another place for it. In the center you see something of a bustling market and a place that Schwere mentions, takes orders for goods and distributes those that come through..

Some distance away, you see a few vineyards upon mountain's sides with rows of visible fence to prop up the vines of grapes..

Within the town, much to your personal dismay, you find that Schrewe had been correct all along... as a merchant, your wares had been lacking.. You barely have anything for sale, with the need of space for the rest of them to actually sit comfortably.

Then again, why are you so concerned with your potential wares? You had something to do here!. Besides, t's not like you're poor... Though you look poor... and bakers are often poor.. and your family was poor... and... Okay, you get it, you, yourself are a filthy poor shit.

Maybe it's time to mend that? No! You're hear for something... You need to find the Noah, the Noah! There's likely one here... or maybe their isn't... Ugh, This search my take some time...

A pair of boys run by, " let's go throw rocks at the Witch!"

Well... There's a start...

>[] The Noah search can wait, I must see about gambling.
>[] Or performing... "Business."
>[] We need to find a place to stay... (General idea)
>[] Go shopping, you still have some funds left from your past winnings and looting of Temes.

>>25457963

I may make this the new OP picture...

I kind of really like this...

>>25457964


Oh, you notice that there is a river not far from this settlement as well. Boats pushing against the tides by oar and drifting down alike are seen. Suspect is that passage to Florin could be purchased or... "Acquired"

>>25457975
I don't know what to say, my Duke!

>>25457964
I vote we make some cash money and stop being disgraceful poor folk

>>25457964
>[x] We need to find a place to stay... (General idea)

Lets find a place to stay or establish a camp a bit out of town. Lets mix a bit with the local peasants and act like the merchants we are pretending to be. Lets keep an ear out for any rumor of supernatural events.

We can also go exchange recipes with the local baker.

>>25457964
Send off Ivan with the others to 'buy' a boat for us to stay in. We can go check out this witch and maybe even find a bakery.

>>25458134
boathouse. I like your style

>>25458148

That would actually be rather close to... Gypsies...

Are you certain you'd like to take this very... "Low" road?

>>25458160
what if we found some kind of yacht?

>>25458160
you mean come of as dirty, evil, POOR Gypsies!?

I think not, good sir.

>>25458199
there are no yachts in the 1400's

>>25457964
Hmm... Grapes. Perhaps we could make wine to complement our bread business? Also, the problem with poisoning the water supply was that humans would'nt drink dark water, but wines are most commonly dark..

>>25457964
Let's go find out what this "Witch" business is.

>>25458214

That is so. And ships take hands and expertise to handle... No seafaring Akuma as it stands...

You also lack appropriate funds for something like that. A smaller boat would be affordable... though as I had said, it'd put you in the same class as the dirty gypsies... the most evil of all the poor..

It's like they're poor, but then somehow aren't...

>>25458241
because they took all your money when you weren't looking

>>25458114

This will be the established camp if none other object or have opinion.

The first activity after may be

>Gambling/trading.
>Making Purchase at the stalls.
>Investigating this business about a "witch"

>>25457964
do this>>25458134
afterwords, have everyone find a subtle target to satisfy there "cravings" and possibly a job of some kind to gather info

>>25458266
I'm okay with establishing camp first, and then going to find out about the "witch"

>>25458114
>Mixing with peasants
Here comes a willpower check

>>25458266
can we do this? boat can be camp>>25458275

>>25458266
>Investigating this business about a "witch"
Lets go investigate that witch with Schwere and Madeleine, as Schwere seem smart and knowledgeable and Madeleine will get jealous if we go anywhere with Schwere alone.

>>25458283
As long as they are not homeless vagrants, I think we can contain ourselves.

>>25458266
>Investigating this business about a "witch"

We will need to find something for everyone to do, so that their urges don't become trouble some. Maybe get a few of them into whittling.

Hmm, later on we should investigate the vineyards if they sell grape jam. Grape jam on bread is spectacular.

>>25458346
Something profitable would be best
travelling salesmen/murderbots, it's the perfect crime!

>>25458266
we should establish ourselves at the local bakery, wow the humans with our skill after we investigate witch and get the others situated

>>25458372
We could probably sell their carvings.

>>25458387
Maybe we shouldn't destroy this town then or we might get a reputation as a baking bringer of bad omens.

once we get the exp, we should really up our Leadership. we are the Good Doctor's favorite toy and it wouldn't reflect well on him if his toy couldn't even keep these akuma out of trouble
>pic related, reminds me of Faefnir

>>25458423
or attract exorcists, this is a widely known trading town

>>25458423
"They say he bakes the best bread you'll ever eat, but not long after he arrives... weeeeeeeeeeird stuff starts to happen"
Bam exorcist city

Ivan and Armbrust turn to you upon entering the settlement, Ivan's brow raises up from beneath his helm as he regards you,"Well then Comrade, we are here now. What will we be doing from here?"

You peek out from the covered wagon and check around the town. Armbrust is in his passenger seat upon the cart as usual, staring forward and relatively stoic... though you can tell that among them, everyone aside from you and Ivan are hurting to keep themselves in check.

The children's eyes are demonic as they try to keep from killing without your command. Schrewe has finished reading her book and she's relentlessly bending the spine, her eyes changing slightly as well..
Madeleine appears to be about ready to tear her skin off with all the humans about.. and that might just be literal...
Kama, likewise with the children is shaking, her fingers shifting slowly into sickles.

Your own heart wavers... you haven't baked or killed in some time... This lul is getting to you, despite it not showing.

"Ivan, we need to set up camp... Outside of this town..." He whisper to the man, wearing guard attire.

You turn back to the Women and children," Control yourselves for a while longer. We will kill soon enough."

Kama stares at you, her eyes dilated into slits," Faefnir... They're right here... We can kill them all... There's so many of them and we... we are so strong... Simple... So simple.."

Schrewe shudders at the words," S-she is... she is right... I ... I could just crush them..."

"Silence." Your voice carries along the air, a command, yet it only truly affects the children. The women stare back at you.

"Ivan, turn the cart back."

"Will do comrade."
The horses pull the cart away from Ruinebriar and the other demons seem to calm down a bit, though the children still have the worst of it, and Kama holds them steady, shushing them even as she herself trembles. She's become more and more motherly with this trip and those two clinging to her.. You notice...

>>25458445
Yeah, lets try to not attract too much attention in this town for the time being. That mean no murder of citizen or tourist and absolutly no arson.

You relax as well... the scent of peasants leaving your nostrils. Without kills or something to occupy the family, it will be difficult for them to blend in without going berserk... It'll need to be you or Ivan... and the family needs to be sated somehow...

>You or Ivan. One must stay to watch the family.
>Seek out the Witch the children had mentioned.

>>25458554
We should decide now if these akuma are our loving family or disposable pawns.

>>25458634
Loving family, but sometimes we will need to dole out some tough love to keep them in check.

Ivan keeps an eye on the Family, we'll go into town.

>Seek out the Witch the children had mentioned.

But keep an eye open for any bakeries that are around, we could pay them a visit and bake some bread, make it a contest of our baking skills.

For the Family

[X] Hunt the woods for victims.

Keep it quiet for now, woods should be subtle enough.

>>25458616
let's leave Ivan and go investigate this Witch. and let the family hunt for victims in the woods.

>>25458554
>Seek out the Witch the children had mentioned.
With Schwere and Madeleine as backup, for reasons I mentionned.

For the Family:
>[] (Other)
They should try to find people whose death won't be noticed. Incoming and leaving travellers and vagrants probably.

>>25458554
I like it how Kama is actually going along with playing the mother role.

she is a dedicated actress.

>>25458616
>Ivan stay
>seek witch and a Bakery, check for other jobs the others may be able to not screw up and blow cover while doing
>have them scour the woods for now, as well as down the road. try to push more people towards town

>>25458709
If there already is a bakery, wouldn't that mean we have to open a rival bakery?

>>25458634
family, which is why we need to keep them busy after they kill and upgrade leadership when possible so there are no....accidents

>>25458758
or simple buy/gamble it for ourselves

>>25458554
also, It seems to me that Schwere has points invested into personality, with her quirk being reading.

maybe find some books for her

>>25458785
Maybe a bible? huehue

>>25458616
lets all remember the Good Doctor requested we be subtle, and we wouldn't want to disappoint our Good Doctor would we?
Ivan stay and take the family to search woods/road for easy/quiet kills.
We will search for info on witch and a bakery where we can work/gain info on the town subtly

>>25458785
From what I can see:
Kama has a motherly personality
Schwere is an avid reader
Madeleine want male attention (preferably ours)
Ivan acts like a russian soldier.
The kids and armbrust don't have much of a personality yet.

>>25458871
exactly what I figured, we need to play these quirks to our advantage when keeping quiet and hidden

All topped off with a bit of bloodlust

"Ivan, you wave the man over as you, he, and Armbrust finish setting up camp.
"Yes Comrade? What is the matter?" He strides on over around the arrangements of a burgeoning campfire, more for appearances.
"I'll be going into town to check for rumors and see if I can't get a job. Anything that we can pick up here will help the cause.. While I'm gone, take them out to hunt in pairs. Go for the woods, and past the bend in the road, out of sight of the town. You're a smart guy, no evidence."
Ivan nods, a bit faster than you would've liked," I've been getting that itch too... not as bad as the others yet..."
You raise your eyebrow," Yet?"
"What of you comrade? Surely you would care to hunt?"
You put a hand up," No, The family is more important. I'll be fine so long as I can get back to baking."
"As you say comrade.." Ivan throws his hands over your shoulders and kisses the air by each of your cheeks. "Be sure to come back well. Monsters other than us hide among men you know."
You smile at that, the exorcists," Well, they're a lot more obvious that us. Disgusting pigs."

You leave the camp behind and make way into Ruinebrair...

Can Akuma have Waifus?

It takes little time for you to find the source of this "witch" business. There is a woman in the town Square, a woman bound by Mage's Stocks. Her hair black and long, obscuring her face. She wearing nothing but rags as part of her punishment... There's feces, rotten food, and more stuck to her stocks and her own body. Two men in shining silver armor stand at either side of her. Occasionally a passerby will add onto her shame with a stone or similar disgusting projectile.

You manage to keep yourself under control for simply walking about, though sniffings of poverty prove to enrage you somewhat...

Passing the witch, you find a building of stone, with a sign that says "Bakery" outside.

Upon entry you see a man rolling out dough upon the table and he looks to you with a nod before looking back down upon his dearest creation of love... This is a man that you can certainly respect... He's big, a touch burly and wears a modest apron. There's a woman and a young girl that work with him past the counter, taking bread out of the oven, moving flour, dragging buckets of milk, water...

This is the lovliest establishment you've been in since... well... your own... This is the homiest Bakery you've seen as well... far more family-oriented... It's good to be somewhere of purpose again.

"What can I get for you, stranger?" The man's voice carries across the room like crisp bread.
"Oh, I... well, I'd like some bread. And if you need an extra hand."

The man leers at you," I can give you the first thing.. though I'm not sure of the second. You bake bread before?"
With a nod, you answer the man," Yes, I baked bread in my own bakery even.. I took over it after my dear friend passed. it was the best bakery in Temes."
"Is that so?" The man seems skeptical. "Let me see your hands.. if you've got baker's."
You hold out your hands and the man touches them," Seems more like you've got Farmer's hands.. How long you run that Bakery for?"

Yes, they can as they develop further. However I'll make it a point now.

"I was a farmer for a long time, my dear friend was the baker, I watched and learned from her for a long time, but spent more time in the fields.

After her passing not too long ago I devoted myself to baking, but the callouses of farming do not go away easily.

I only ask that you allow me to bake a single loaf before you judge me."

>>25459363
the dice have spoken, and we turned devil's luck off last thread so whoooo

We still need to upgrade those pressure cannons, and practice using our gravity control.
I was thinking that we can compress large amounts of our blood with gravity and either disperse it quickly in a large area or heat it and use it as pinpoint explosives.
Goodness though, we're going to need to up our killing quota if we're to get all the experience we need.

>>25459363
Oh oh oh, that reminds me.

Do we know about Noah's stigma? If so, lets check her forehead.

Ah, well then. Eliade is an Akuma who fell in love with Krory and decided to alter the way she interpreted her orders so that she could stay with him.

Devil's Luck is assumed on. And no roll has been called for yet.

>>25459317
I was a farmer before that, I grew wheat with my family. Even though my time as a baker is admittedly short, my passion for it remains strong.

I say if she wants to be all waifuy then sure why not? not saying that we'd even return these feelings wholeheartedly, but we do "love" our family the Doctor gave us to watch over

>>25459360
YES TO BAKE OFF

>>25459468

The Doctor had mentioned the stigmata upon the head... however you didn't get close enough to check.

>>25459317
[X] Tell the truth.

The bread is so near, yet so far. We must not let this chance slip away.

>>25459493
let us have a bake off and ask about the woman in the stock

>>25459501
Then I'd say theat upon leaving the bakery, we check her forehead under the pretense of spitting on her forehead and insulting her.

>>25459546
but what if she is a Noah? we can't show such disrespect to a Noah!

>>25459531
Oh wait, I have the most wonderful idea. Lets have the guards be the judges of our bake off. It will give us an excuse to get near them and check the witch out.

Nope. For normal humans it tastes like despair, well it tastes like despair to everyone, Akuma and Noah just like the taste. We're trying to win the contest here.

>>25459619
We could give the witch a bit of our special bread. It only tastes like despair to normal human. A Noah may enjoy it.

For cover we can say that the bread is stale and mouldy.

It may be best to wait until we have the cover of night before interacting more closely with her.

>>25459661
the bread is black. we could say it's burnt bread.

While we're in town we should also get some books, and find the slums of the area. Those urges won't be restrained forever.

"I was a farmer before that, I grew wheat with my family. Even though my time as a baker is admittedly short, my passion for it remains strong... My dear friend was a baker and I learned all that I know from her.. however I did spend time with a hoe in the fields." The man raises an eyebrow at you, appraising. Telling the truth seems to be easier, even as an Akuma... "If you want to see my skills, I could of course bake for you... A single loaf, take my payment as a forward on it.

The man smiles and gives you a nod," Alright, so it'll be. Get an apron and flour your hands, show us what you've got!"

You flour your hands and mix together the flour and water, adding in a bit of sugar and salt.

You get the composition just right with the added flour and leave the rest to the side, kneading the established dough on the floured counter, as the man seems to approve, you turn your head to him and smile," Say, why don't we turn this into a bakeoff? The guards by the Stocks judge."
The Man chuckles," I suppose if you'd like for a bit of sport. Though Sir Asher and his brother are not to be bothered with. They guard the apostate without distraction.
The man begins to mix his own dough as you make conversation, thoroughly kneading your own,"Apostate? First time I think I've heard of that..."
"Not many do.See, most sorcerers and sorceresses are licensed by the church. Those that don't bear their blessing and carry on with the practice are branded apostates. The woman awaits judgement by a High Priest of the church. She's kept here until then."
You await for your bread to rise,"So, why do you know such things?" You smile, disarmingly.
The man shakes his head, a touch solemn," When these things are brought to your doorstep, you tend to learn of them... Oh, and My name's James Bool."

It managed to fool me for a good long while.

>>25460018
Yes, yes, I got it. The cypher is the sound.

"Jacob Firebrand" You extend a floured hand and the man takes it with his own. His hands are warm. Almost warmer than yours. Warm hands are good for bread.
"Good to meet you, Firebrand. That's indeed the name of a Farmer... more like a rancher's though. In the family?"
You shake your head," Family's mostly dead, not sure if it is."
The man frowns,"Shame to hear that. I won't ask anymore."

It takes some time but you begin to work up a rapport with the man as you finish baking the bread. Both of the loaves are out and on the counter to cool.
"Well, I must say you've done a fine job... smells wonderful as well. I'm sure you know what your own bread tastes like, so let us swap breads and judge based on men in the same profession, hm?"

Settle down urges. We'll be killing soon enough once we find the slums. After all the night covers all.

If there is one thing we can be honest about, it's bread.

>[] Agreed.
we can admire a superior baker. Its good to have a rival.

>>25460093
Agreed.

I WOULD say some sort of trickery should be involved, since we are, you know, an Akuma. But this is baking. Bread. Against another baker.

This is one of few times (outside dealings with Noah and the Doctor) where we will stand as a man of honor and humility.

>>25460093
>>[] Agreed.
we don't need to insist superiority, this is an honest contest between bakers

>>25460093

*Akuma Quest turns into Baking Quest where we travel around challenging other bakers to bakeoffs and having innocent bystanders REACT to the taste of our delicious bread*

Our dream is to create a bread that embodies the Akuma culture. YAKITATE AKUMA!

Hey Duke, do you remember this feller? He had his natural akuma instinct suppressed by innocence but only in a certain area or something. Will we come across any special innocence like this?

>>25460205

Perhaps.

>>25460176
That just tickled my funny bone. Yes, indeed there's been quite a bit about baking... Faefnir is definitely at home!

>>25460165
Can we make cookies with our internal oven or other fancy pastries?

>>25460205
Traitor, he is a traitor to the Earl. We shall not suffer any who do such things to live.

>>25460165
We like our bread.

>>25460248

Yes, though you do not yet know the "recipe" to do so. It's a magic oven after all.

>>25460248
Our only real recipe is our Black Bread.

>>25460205
It's been a few years since I've watched the anime. What was the innocence that did this HORRIFYING thing to our fellow Akuma?

>>25460255
We like it even better when others are eating our bread.

>>25460255
But he would go to his home every night which happened to be outside the area of effect. He would ravage the surrounding towns at night and have a solid alibi. Kind of a spoiler..

Challenge this pompous fool to a bake-off. We will show him our worth!

>>25460270
What level do we need to be at for croissants?

You nod to the man. You'll be honest with him... This is a matter between bakers after all.

The two of you exchange loaves... you note that his is a touch rounder and longer than your own, that maintains a loaf shape. You bite into the bread and it yields a crisp crunch upon the outside, yet remains fluffy and soft on the inside as opposed to your own fluffy loaf.

It's crisp and has the distinct taste of recently milled wheat with whole grains still present within. You look to the man and furrow your brow... You really like this bread... Your memory bakes had no record of a bread made such as this... it's very much like a french loaf but so... thin.

The man eats your own bread and you attempt to read the expression in his face even as he reads yours.
After you both swallow the first bite, he chuckles a touch," Like it don't you? I learned it from a french sailor. They call it a Baguette. Your bread... it is very traditional and near perfect, however I do not think it can be properly compared to this other recipe.

You nod and stare at the baguette," I like it.. I like it a lot. Seems that it would be great for a beef stew..."
James chuckles at you," Let us call this a draw. There need not be a winner after all. You are welcome in my bakery. I will pay you for the work you pull, hm? "
You smile, you've got yourself a new haven...
"I need to tell my family the good news, I'll be back here in the morning, before the break of dawn, yes?"
"Indeed, seems you've already got the baker's sleep!" The man laughs and you leave his establishment...

It is now the afternoon.

A touch of note here...

I'm observing Hollow Quest between posts as I wait for votes to come in... and I am quite glad that the people participating within this thread are typically quite agreeable. Granted the sever paranoia from the other night as to random generals.... It's been quite nice playing with you all!

Just thought you should know that! <3

>>25460612
Genocidal urges and baking will do that.

>>25460612
My dear duke, thou art too kind

>>25460586
Isn't gambling best done at night? People work during the day usually.

>>25460612
Thank you darling Duke for providing us such an agreeable roleplaying experience!

>>25460612
Thanks, Duke.

Also, the exp costs for the Maw upgrades are still missing.

>>25460612
Of course Good Doctor, your favorite toy only seeks to grant your wishes

>>25460651
There will be a few chronic gamblers around, at least.

>>25460612
We're good people who are quite understanding. We seek to do your good work. The generals are merely something in the back of our minds. We know they're around, and that they are a wandering menance, a blight upon this Earth that must be removed. If only the shitstains weren't so hard to get out in the wash...

Truly they number amongst thy greatest foes, but don't worry. We'll get to Level 4 as fast as we can so we can destroy them for you. Your favorite Akuma aims to be nothing less than the very best Akuma it can be!

>>25460744
We should also become the spookiest Akuma we can be

>>25460847
lets not forget lvl 3 and 4 are uniform designs

>>25460870
Duke already said that would not be the way it is in this AU, same as level 1 isn't a big gun ball.

>>25460870
Duke changed how Level 3 works in this story.

Whether or not we get to Level 4 depends on how the plot develops.

>>25460612
Ok hold up, out of character for a moment-

Nigga let me tell you what makes this quest so good, what keeps me coming back.

Your effort. No seriously. I see a fuckton of quests with FANTASTIC settings and characters, that fall flat when the author gets bogged down by their own ego. You don't let brown-nosers get to you, and you continue to provide a quality entertainment.

Obligatory. Devil's Luck might let us take on a dude like the guy in the link. The link is, of course, a master's course in the art of bluffing.

You make way for the nearest tavern, finding one right down the street from the stocks in the square.

It's called, "The Briar's Hearth" As good a place as any you figure.

You enter and are immediately greeted by a warm fire within that wards off the cold, a few of the likely town drunks at the bar getting hammered, and not by way of the smith... Worthless men... The kind you enjoy killing most...

There's a lonely man with a cup and a pair of dice at the table closest to the fire.

You disregard him for now and order the wine this place is known for.

"So, barkeep, what's the word on the countryside?" You ask the man. He's not Fredrick though... you liked Frederick.. Doctor bless that he's an Akuma now by the wish of some person... You liked Fred...
The keep glares at you," It's extra if you want me to run my mouth. Not my job to inform all the ones that run on in through here. If you want that, talk to the women that harp all day long about the state of affairs." This man is definitely NOT Fredrick..

Money makesfolks much more talkative. Gamblers seem like good company. At the very least, coin could work his tongue

I was half tempted to vote for bringing the drunks home for takeout, but that could draw unwanted attention. We just murdered a village, we don't want to have more bait for Exorcists

>>25461057
Great, Duke.

>>25461091
Yeah, let's be more subtle. It's only been a few days since the slaughter we caused back in that other town. We don't want to alert the Order to our current location.

"Well, I won't be paying for something that costs a man nothing.. Thank you for the drink, I'll be joining the gentleman by the hearth." You take your mug and shove off the stool, strolling through the warmth of the fire before taking a seat by the man with the dice.
He smiles at you and grabs the dice, throwing them into an empty mug," What's your bet stranger? Even? Odd? How many ones, threes? Fives? Don't like them odds? Twos, Fours? Sixes? Or perhaps you're not feeling quite even with that drink?" The man runs his mouth and you swish your wine around.

"Your game is dice I see? First I've had a go of that. " You take a deep drink and place a silver on the table," All snake eyes.
The man's smile turns greasy as he eyes your silver piece," Well, the man says we're going to have all snakes! Let's see." He throws the mug down and reveals the dice.

Roll 1d100.

>>25461130
Damn right we don't. That awesome, amazing little stunt of pure righteousness may have drawn in a hateful General to investigate. If he hears rumors about this place after viewing an eviscerated village guess where he's headed...

I want them ever so dead but right now we're like a tiny little mosquito to them. Something annoying that is easily swatted and killed. We must live, evolve, and become the stuff of their nightmares. That is the goal after all.

I'm part of another quest where a crit fail and crit success cancel if within the threshold. I wander what your policy is if such a thing were to happen here.

>>25461349

My policy is that something amazing and awful happens at the same time. Otherwise, a touch of silliness.

>>25461381
I knew there was a reason I liked you. The silly, it needs to be a part of any grimdark shithole like the D. Gray Man verse is. And what do ya know, the mangaka agrees! She made sure to put in some silly because she knew of the astronomical suffering quotient she put into her work.

Truly my duke, you are a man who understands.

What dice count?

>>25461437
First 3 rolls. Best of 3, though he won't ignore crits it seems.

>>25461455
What do you mean he won't ignore crits?

>>25461308
Are you speaking about this?

He was basically stating this
>>25461381

The 99 doesn't count. He was just saying that if a crit and crit-fail were in the threshold, both would effect the outcome.

>>25461519
If they happen they affect the outcome. We get two crits, good or bad, we will experience both. A crit fail and a crit success will do what he said. Something amazing happens while something likewise horrible happens at the same time.

Crits, they fucking matter.

>>25461575
They only count if within the first three. The post the Duke was quoting mentions "within the threshold".

>>25461575
T-t-that's what I said.

>>25461575
Why are you getting so worked up over this? So much anger. AND RUDENESS.

Direct that towards our prey, comrade, not at one another.

>>25461614
I believe that was implied my good anon. That's what I was talking about.

The man raises the mug and his jaw drops when he sees that all of the dice are indeed 1's... all 6 of them.
You take a long draft of your drink and gesture to the man," Looks like I've called it. Say, with odds like that, isn't that a return of 6 pieces?"

The man stares at you and grumbles, throwing 6 silver coins on the table.

"What do you say? double or nothing?" His mouth has that slimy look... his money is ill gotten, you figure... he has the look and smell of poor upon him...
You'd normally not consider this ploy, yet you shrug," Aye, double or nothin and you tell me what th' keep over there could 'ave."

The man collects the dice and shakes them again," What's this time? Surely you won't call all 1's again, eheh..."

"Nah, All 1's an' they'll be stacked, much like a tower." You chuckle at the man, though you know the thing that watches you... highly enjoys these games... With a nod you confirm you bet, but make an amendment," If I win, you pay the double. And you come back to my camp and entertain my sweetheart, what do you say?"

The man pauses for a moment," What kind of entertainment?"
"Oh, you know, a toss in the hay. He likes it with two men, saucy tart. Figure she might have a fancy for a man of games like you."

The man throws the cup down, yet you feel a sudden shadow pass that makes the man breath cold. "W-what was that?"

"Likely the wind, it's quite cold out there you know. Lift the cup, she can't be wait'n all day."

The man removes the mug, and just so. The dice are stacked perfectly into a tower, all sides facing up.
"What in the-"

"And there it is. The impossible occurs. Pay on up you rubbish, we've got a lady to impress."

The man slides 12 silvers across the table yet he doesn't look all that defeated. The prospect of sharing a woman must excite him.

"Let's get on with it. Keep, your money's on the table. Find a couple ways to sod off with it." You call as you leave the bar with the gambler, the keep says nothing in return as you leave.

>>25461271
We roll eight sixes and the bar explodes.

It's only fair. Bakers are the very best people. It is a tragic day when they die. It is why we leave survivors, so these glorious souls can be made into Akuma by the ever so good and righteous duke.

We will check the woman later tonight, but we should hurry, I don't want to meet that church fellow that will come to punish her.

Lets return to camp with the takeout we got from the bar.

>>25461750
Check the girl, people should be going home and holing up for the night. We only need to check her for stigmata after all. We can throw something at her hair and get a quick glimpse of the forehead without really tipping off the guards.

If we see them, we know. Wait until dead of night and CHOMP the guards. Then free her as we kneel before another agust and righteous soul!

>>25461575
Basic mechanics:

To resolve stuff, we roll 1d100. The Duke compares to a hidden stat sheet.

Normally, ranges 1-5 are critical failures and 95-100 are critical successes.

Devil's luck just alters the crit range. 1-5 become critical successes, and 95-100 become critical failures (even though everything else remains constant, e.g. a 6 still counts as a failure and 94 still counts as a success.)

>>25461750
>>[X] Check the woman.

We might as well get a bit of intel. We bested a weak human in a bar and lured him to his well-deserved doom, wwe probably have ebough of a rush to endure any negatives encountered by interacting with this filthy poverty-stricken excuse of vermin

>>25461750
[X] Check the woman.

Check on her before we head back, maybe crack some jokes about her with the gambler as we get close, check for stigmata.

>>25461750

>>25461281
thank god you type slow

>>25461750
It just occured to me we can both check the lady and get to camp at the same time using the plan laid out by >>25461822

Also better as, if we see them glorious stigmata, we can bum rush the guards with the whole family. EXP for all!

>>25461902
Is her skin a dark greyish pigment?

>>25461911
That's too obvious. More guile, less brute force.

>>25461923
They can negate that trait at will. The Stigmata, not so much I think. Especially if they are only freshly awakened.

>>25461923
If she could assume her Noah form, she wouldn't be in stock anymore.

>>25461956
Depends on the kind of Noah they are. People like Tyki Mykk and Road yeah. Not all Noah are combat monsters. Some are more support type and even then you have to consider those damned exorcists. They can still brutally murderize you because you are especially vulnerable to innocence weapons. Going all brute force might be a bad idea, especially if one is in the area. And well, you're in stocks and nobody is talking to you.

No, keep head down, endure, and pray for the Akuma to find you and get you out of this shit. If she is a Noah she's being smart. Only going to go balls out if about to be blasted by innocence.

>>25461947
We should see what's going with her either way.

>>25462022
A Noah wouldn't necessarily know who they are. Remember Skinn Bolic? He was constantly in pain because of his Noah memory, but didn't understand why until the Earl approached him and explained everything.

Afterward, he got his grey skin, so we can presume that a newly awakened Noah only experiences the stigmata and a little bit of their inherited memory before they awaken completely to the gene.

"So, where are we going?" The man huddles his hands into his body beneath his jacket, looking at you expectantly.

"We'll be going to the outskirts of town. My camp is there. However first, I'd like to check up on the woman in the stocks..." You mumble to yourself as you take the lead, the man staying behind a moment before puruing.
"Hey, why do you want to deal with that apostate whore? She's all filthy, let's leave the church t'deal with her. Them brotherly guards won't be letting you close anyhow, or you gon' be throwing things at the witch then?"

"Sure, I'll be throwing things at her. Say, would you like some bread? baked it myself..." You offer the man some of your blackbread and he turns his nose up at it.
"What in heavens is this? It's all black isn't it?"
"Secret family recipe. Lords and ladies have killed over this bread, and men are so moved they cry as they eat it."
"Ahh, some sort of fancy, is it then? Well, I s'pose it does smell nice." You look away just as you hear the man begin to chew and his sobs start behind you. Hmm... what an odd effect... The family loves it... Heh..

You see the woman once more in the stocks, markings upon it likely to restrict a sorcerer like herself. One of the two men in silver armor, upon closer inspection seem to have a cross emblazoned upon his armor... you know the marking... this knight is an exorcist... he's guarding this woman..

You begin to approach and the non-crossed one calls out," Halt, in the name of the God. You may throw things upon this woman at your leisure however you may not approach by penalty of death in the name of the King Henry IV. State your business."

You look at the night and then the woman in rags and recall the bite of the cold that others feel.. She must feel simply awful... A loaf of warm bread might do the trick... Though these men..
"I am here to spit upon the woman in stocks. To do so I would need to get close, yes?" You try to play it off. The guard is unmoving.

"I have already stated. You may not have dealings with this woman. Cast your stone and other tokens of humiliation. None are to approach her."

a chunk of black bread.

"As black as her soul. A loaf left too long in the oven."

>>25462218
Throw some pieces of bread at her mouth.

Also, idly ask the guard questions about the woman. How long has she been there? Why would she refuse to become a sanctioned sorceress for the Church?

>>25462218
>>[] Throw something...
Lets throw something at her head while shouting an insult to make her raise her head

>>25462218
[X] Ask the guard questions.

"I know not what crime she has committed, but what could make the girl deserve such treatment?"

And get her to open her mouth, probably by throwing something at her, and throw a chunk of bread in.

>>25462248
Good idea. I support this.

doesn't matter if she's poor, a noah is a noah

>>25462361
We're going to have to trick her into opening her mouth first.

>>25462373
Making an Exorcist disappear on the same day the witch in the stocks does?

Not subtle at all.

>>25462416
the Good Doctor always knows when his toys have done a good job and loves to congratulate them personally

>>25462416
Not to worry. We need only begin the slaughter to make the good Duke appear.

>>25462420
bow chicka wow wow

>>25462424
did i say the same day? did i even say when? or did i just make a suggestion anon.

>>25462450
Doesn't matter if it's the same day or not. That does not change what I said.

>>25462475
so even in open combat? really?

>>25462450
the only problem I see is that it puts our family in considerable danger, and it is preferable to avoid such things. I'd say we should gather more inteligence and set a trap for him, that is, if the "witch" is even a noah, and we need to dispose of the exorcist. If the witch isn't a noah... I'd avocate just leaving the exorcist alone. we don't have orders to kill any exorcists we find, and it would take time away from our search for the Duke's dear family.

>>25462511
Anon, you're being combative and rude. Check your attitude.

>>25462514
He has a point. We don't even know yet if shes a Noah for sake. Lets find out first then we can make plan to rescue her.

Lets focus on finding out first.

>>25462218
when we kill the gambler, can we just swallow him whole and bake him in our oven?

>>25462539
unfortunately, no. we specifically gave up that ability in favor of having an oven. might try making a meat pie out of what's left over though...

>>25462528
im not being rude and certainly not trying to be combative, my original suggestion was for an open combat scenario to which anon declared unacceptable in any situation. i only wish to know why he believes this

>>25462595
Shhh. Shhh.

>>25462178
>>[X] Rightly sod off as the guard plainly stated.

We have a church Executor watching over what should be just a minor criminal. This is not something we should involve ourselves in without a plan and backup .

Lead our happy victim home to our dearest lover. Then, we plan

>>25462593
but when we killed our last exorcist, it was stated our mouth connected to our oven from the pieces we swallowed sliding down our throat to the oven. or was that not how it worked?

You tear off a chunk of bread from what your nameless "associate" has eaten and show it to the two guards,"Black as her soul..." You say, as you turn it over, regarding it," Left in the oven for a bit too long."

"Take your aim as you'd have it." The non-exorcist knight looks to the woman," Someone has brought you food, whore. Raise your head and give thanks for it. Perhaps you can catch it in your mouth and won't eat shit like an animal." The woman does not move and the guard steps forward, grabbing her by the hair and pulling back," I said open your mouth."

You see blood upon the woman's forehead, then again, there's a lot of blood on her face, likely from all the stones that the children threw. She doesn't cry, yet she doesn't open her mouth either.
She looks out of it, eyes unfocused, tired. The cold's likely getting to her. She opens her mouth, yet she speaks instead," I am not a whore... My name.... is Morgan....La Fey.. My name... It's Morg-" The guard grabs her by the jaw and forces her mouth open.

He looks at you,"Throw peasant."

The display disheartened you not at all.. You take aim and throw pieces of the bread at the woman, her struggles to get the man off, quite weak.. You manage to get a piece in and it just falls. out of her mouth.

Finally a crumb stays and you're out of bread.

"Done?"

You only nod.

"Good" the guard shoves the room down and resumes his post..

The woman begins to whimper and cry, unlike before, you swear that she whispers," It's... so good..."

You think hard for a moment at the reaction... and look to your follower that happens to still be softly sobbing.

Seems the disgustingly poor womab likes your bread... fancy that.

don't be condescending, rudeness on the internet is one thing but that's simply uncalled for

>>25462632
You should re-read some stuff.

Other anon was suggesting we cook them in our oven.

What you just stated was us eating an Exorcist and using him as an ingredient.

>>25462647
Let's head home. Time to regroup.

>[] Go home as you had intended.
we found her. now to plan her escape.

>>25462647
DING DING DING.

gentlemen, I think we found her.

>>25462647
[X] Go home as you had intended.

The night is still young, and the gambler still lives. Once their urges have been satiated we can begin with the attack.

>>25462647
>poor woman*

>>25462647
>>[] Go home as you had intended.
Target Aquired

>>25462667
I was calming you down, anon. You're pretty riled up (seeing as how you reacted to me with some hostility just now).

Shhhhhhh,

>>25462647
Weren't we going to hear some of the local news and rumors from the gamler?

>>25462647
>[] Go home as you had intended.
She's a Noah. Lets go meet our family and plan something to free her.

>>25462647
ask when she's to be executed.

>[] Go home as you had intended.

>>25462678
so could we just eat him and then bake him in our oven? like not chew and simply swallow him

>>25462647
[X] Go home as you had intended.

We found her, now we have targets, we'll bring the Family down on them.

WAIT WAIT WAIT.

I JUST HAD THE BEST IDEA.

let's have Madeleine put on her seeker outfit and try having her ask the Exorcist some questions, with us hidden in the shadows.

if things go south, we pounce and slaughter them as silently as possible

>>25462719
let's try not to make a spectacle of killing the exorcist. this place is a trading town, and any rumors we inadvertantly start about ourselves are likely to spread far and wide.

>>25462647
go home, i say before we break her out and leave we should add our poison to some wine. may take a long time before anyone opens the casks but could prove entertaining

>>25462667
Please for goodness sakes calm down. The problem with attack the exorcist is that we are the only ones who are in town, and we have now way of knowing how many there are. Furthermore, we don't know when the church will arrive to judge the witch and how large a force they will bring.

>>25462729
would she have enough will power to not simply attack the exorcist though?

This could go horribly well or delightfully wrong

>>25462729
>silently

You know that implies no chainsaws or lightning, yes?

>>25462717
Re-reading the previous threads, we did NOT send the Exorcist into our oven. We simply took in the surrounding despair to create something.

>>25462764
I think she has enough. she is a lvl. 1.5 after all

>>25462745
This so much.

Let's not go crazy-murder-happy in a well-traveled area, guys.
