You suddenly get a very, very terrible feeling...

You react quickly, using your very natural agility to advance upon the woman with what's almost a single step, the talismans following you, even now. You snort and set yourself aflame with your cloak of fire, burning off some of the papers, even as the woman's eyes go up in horror,” Say. Where do Akuma go when they die?”

Before she answers, you grab her by the face,"May the Good Doctor forgive your sins against him, for I will not" and throw her at the rest of the talismans, walking away with armbrust and not looking back.

An explosion of flame follows, the resulting airflow blowing past you even as you turn off the cloak of flame.
She should have used that earlier... much earlier... It was to your fortune that she must have still had some doubt back in the streets.

You glance back and see that her body has all but been reduced to ash, and already being blown away by the winds. Indeed, her pitiful gambit failed... Certainly serves her right. The only thing that remains is her armor, sword, and shield. You quickly command Armbrust to take up those things, and thank him for his help.
You return to the others, especially after this... loaded night.

- - - - - - - - - -

At the camp, much to your dismay, you find much of it rooted threw, the cart overturned, what goods you had, now gone and the rest of it burned...

It seems that while away, someone decided that it was prudent to outright rob and pillage your things...

You sigh.
Schwere is upset by her missing book, Ivan and Armbrust miss the actual crossbow, Kama misses her bed, the children miss the “toys” (weapons), and Madeleine seems to be quite upset that her church robes are gone...

The only funds you have left are those that are on you...

Oh, and the horses are dead.
This is absolutely wonderful...

This insult calls for vengeance, blood... You have been wronged and someone needs to pay for it... not just you either... they have wronged your family... This was the closest thing that they had to a home and now it's gone, essentially ruined.

“Ivan!” You shout out, to your most dependable friend, and comrade. He's at your side in a moment.

“Yes... What is it?” He speaks sadly after regarding the destruction... yet it's the sorrow that calls for satisfaction.

“Can you track them? The ones that did this?”

“Of course, Comrade. And when we find them, we'll rip them limb from limb, fill them with holes, and otherwise decimate them, yes?” His voice is calm and cold.

“Yes, that's exactly what we'll be doing, and more if possible...”

The demon-man gets down ti examine the tracks... there will be a hunt this night... let's just hope it won't carry on into the morning..

Roll 1d100 please for tracking.
Devil's luck is presumed to be on! <3

Say darling dear Dwidly Duke, if we eat another Akuma, do we simply gain XP?

Couldn't we absorb something out of our fallen yet delicious brother?

Or maybe even bake it...

>>25535547
>fallen yet delicious brother
Who do you mean? The one who attacked us?

>>25535547

Technically, you could indeed consume it directly for an upgrade. Though for Faefnir's own.. shall we say... sanity, it will be limited to exp or a direct stat upgrade. And only provided that the akuma is superior in a given stat. Eating weaklings won't do much for you in the long run after all!

>>25535570
He killed our mascot, stumpy. He's not coming out of this unscathed.

Akuma have shown the ability to devour their kin in the manga, so I think that it is a good way to take our revenge.

>>25535597
Thank you Duke!

>>25535597
so when it comes to it, if it looks weaker, let's have one of the family eat it.

>>25535615
Well, if he look stronger than us, we could eat hin for a direct strength upgrade. Thats always handy.

You and Ivan soon find tracks leading to and away from the camp... Oversized Hoof-prints. The size of dinner plates.

"It must be level 2, much like ourselves. Things may get rough if it finds one of the others alone. They go into the woods, they are fresh.. The tracks are deep, and the stride is long. It is fast and heavy. How would you like to go about this, Faefnir?"

You take stock of everyone's condition... You had all been rather merry up until coming back to a nearly destroyed camp.. Schwere is stoic, as usual, Kama and the children are cleaning up carefully, and Madeleine is livid... She's extremely upset about Mr. Stumpy..

Armbrust stares at you, as does Schwere. They seem pretty calm, considering. Schwere must still be relieved that Rosalin is dead, however she spoke earlier that she may still have to report, that declaration was public, and if she didn't go, it'd still be suspicious...

In fact, it may be regardless.. You'll make the call when it's time...

>[] Everyone goes on the hunt, they'll cover more ground that way.

>>25535700
[X] Divide the groups., we need some to watch and clean up camp.

Should either group howl the other group gets to them, I think if it comes back to camp we'll notice it before then, and one group ought to be able to keep it occupied for long enough for the other to catch up.

>>25535700
>Everyone goes on the hunt

Other concerns can wait until later. Now, now is the time for unholy JUSTICE!!!

>>25535700
>[] Divide the groups., we need some to watch and clean up camp.

Group A: Us, Ivan, and Madeleine.
Group B: everyone else.

Group A hunts, while group B watches the camp and cleans up a bit, getting rid of the remains of Mr. Stumpy.

>>25535700
>>[x] Divide the groups., we need some to watch and clean up camp.
Lets leave Shwere, Kama and the kids at the camp so they can clean things up. Everyone else come with us to kill the fucker.

I say we leave Schwere at the camp as her gravity magic doesn't have much effect on akuma.

>>25535770
are we sure it doesn't affect Akuma? I mean, could it affect them if she wanted it to affect them?

>>25535788
The duke mentionned during the burning of the city that her magic didn't affect as strongly being of dark matter like Akumas.

>>25535770

You'd be surprised just how strong her power is.

Despite dark matter resistance, a focused intent is far different than getting caught in the crossfire.

>>25535809
Okay, Good to know.

>>25535700
Some of our stuff was burned, right? This means the Akuma may have power over fire. It would be prudent if we came along for the hunt.

The guy also moves quickly, it seems. It may be prudent to only take along the ones who can keep up, fight at range, or take a hit from a physically oriented Akuma.

Keep Ivan, Kama, Kralle, and Wendel at the camp.

We take the rest with us. Armbrust for his rapid fire, Schwere to slow down the guy/possibly speed us up, and Madeleine for defense.

>>25535809
In this case, I saw we keep her around for the hunt. Gravity will be an asset against a fast opponent.

Final answers?

>>25535901
How good are we at tracking? also, how good is Armburst at tracking?

>>25535901
Splitting seems to be the majority vote, but how to do so varies.

Kama and the kids are definitely staying, but some contention on the others.

Us going in the hunting group is definitely a given. And I retract my vote of leaving Ivan behind; he's the only one with experience in tracking. As for who else we can bring, we should definitely take Schwere along. She can ride on our back, if need be, when we're in combat. Just so that she can concentrate on using her magic.

>>25535932

Faefnir is alright at tracking, can follow prints at the least.

Armbrust and Ivan are much better trackers, with Ivan being your best.

Faefnir: Mediocre
Armbrust: Okay
Ivan: Exemplary

>>25535982
Ivan is definitely coming then. And if I'm reading this right, we're about to fight another akuma. How much exp is a Level 2 worth my good Duke? Probably more than the average poorfag we hate so much, but not as much as an exorcist is my guess. Am I right?

Even if we don't get any exp he still has to die. Y'know, JUSTICE and all that jazz.

>>25536050

More than a tortured victim, less than an exorcist.

>>25535982
Okay, so, my new suggestion is.

Hunting Group: Us, Armburst, Schwere, and Madeleine.

all in favor?

>>25536110
Yeah, I'm okay with this.

>>25536110
What about Ivan

"Schwere, Madeleine, Armbrust, Ivan, we're hunting down this vile perpetrator and destroying it for this insult." The Akuma nod and head for the edge of the woods, They have a conviction that's normally unlike them...

You motion to Kama, Wendel and Kralle," The rest of you clean up this camp while we're gone. Give us a place to return home to yes? We'll need a place to keep a new mister stumpy, after all." The children beam at that and Kama snickers.

"We'll be get this place looking presentable again for the family, Faefnir! If that beast comes back around, I'll slice its kneecaps and howl for the hunting party."
You give the wild-mother a nod and a chainsaw grin,"We'll be back well before morning. Take care."

You line up with the others and find that Ivan's begun to laugh out loud.
"What's going o-" And then you see it as your oculars adjust to the light... A gaping hole in the brush of the trees.. At least a wagon wide.. maybe a wagon and a half.

"Seems we have quite the big quarry comrade. It will be a pleasure to take this one out, yes?" The man's human skin dissolves away as he unfurls his half-spider form. "It would be my honor to be at the back of the line"

"Schwere, you ride on my back," You too shed your human form and your long, slender dragon body unfurls. "It'll be easier for you to focus, yes?" The Mage nods and floats onto your back gracefully.

You hear Madeleine growl, grinding her teeth," Alright, I'm all well and sick of this waiting, let's go back in a head!" Her human form explodes away as she lunges into the woods, loping upon your gold-hued forelimbs.

The rest of you chase after her... into the unknown...

>Roll 1d100

>>25536133
we don't need an expert tracker, the guy left us pretty good tracks.

plus, if he comes back, best to have a lvl 2 at the campsite. also, he can make sure the others behave

>>25536133
Presumably, we're relying on Armbrust to track the guy down for us while leaving Ivan at camp with the rest to act as the leader in charge.

>>25536061
Yay, we now have a good excuse to kill our own kind! Not that I mind being evil Well I do kinda. I always play CG characters, it seems to be my alignment IRL because I despise authority yet love helping people. But I can and have switched that drive off here because you're good at this but if we can maximize our own evil while putting a damper on other sources that would be swell. JUSTICE is an awesome quirk.

There plain and simply aren't enough humans to go around. This is Darwinism here, and we've got a good strategy. Form a family, share in the slaughter, kill anything that's getting in the way of our good time! This fucker must die!

Ah, if only a helpless (and I emphasize helpless because he can really fuck up our shit) Allen could watch as the poor soul powering it fades into oblivion...

>>25536220
I WOULD GLADLY BE YOUR WEAPON OF VENGEANCE, LORD!

Madeleine leads, although brutishly. The rest of you soon catch up to her. You make a mental note that she is rather slow with all that armoring and strength.

With a hiss into her ear, you command that she slow herself and maintain a more... quiet pace.

She quickly concedes, becoming almost sheepish as she does,"Yes Faefnir, I am sorry for my recklessness."
"It will die, have no worry."
Armbrust takes the front and you shut your furnace for now, keeping the light hidden.

It takes time heading on into the night, however the tracks soon lead you to your mad quarry thrashing about carts and wagons upon the road.

"And there he is it seems..." You hear Armbrust whisper back to the rest, and you can all see very clearly A centaur-beast ablaze with blue, astral fires that seem to chill the very air. Frost creeping and the blue fire burning even atop the snow, unmelting.

It spins a polearm about, cutting through the wood of a carriage and eliciting the scream of a woman from within.

It roars and the shed flames suddenly turn red, exploding out into violent flame and the thing laughs, screaming and running down the road, chasing men that flee on horses.

Armbrust and Madeleine actually seem a bit unsettled by the power of the creature...

Even Schwere that sits upon your back trembles with the sudden clingings of fear.. The fear they have for their own lives..

Say, where do Akuma go when they die?

Perhaps we need to have someone find out... You gaze locks on the blue-flamed perpetrator.

You see a volunteer.

You have the initiative.

>I'd normally put options here...
>But you gentlement have such brilliant ideas...
>And there's plenty of ways to go about this..
>What's the battle plan?

>>25536159
We definitely need to get Sadism as a personality trait. Just so that we can enjoy teasing Madeleine.

>>25536159
>loping upon her gold-hued forelimbs.

Don't know what happened there...

>>25536503
What's the area like?

Flat plains everywhere? Forested area where? Is he in the middle of the road and surrounded by the forest?

>>25536503
>Our most powerful enemy yet is now Hecarim
What have I done...

>>25536503
So a frosty fire... interesting. I wonder what happens when this thing gets doused...

We parlay, of course! Then he get Ivan to sniipe, while Madeleine charges and grapples

>>25536544

Middle of the road surrounded by the forest. Upon the opposite stretch there lay sloped mountains. He's chasing the horses towards the town, he's pretty far down the bend of the road as it is so his visage can't be seen yet from Ruinebriar.

>>25536503
First, give every single one of our hunting companions a loaf of black bread to buff them before the fight.

We start the fight off with Armbrust and Ivan taking shots at it from a distance from different directions, they relocate after every volley of shots, harry it. Make it run around unable to find anything.

Once its sufficiently worked up Madeleine will grab its attention and draw it towards her, we'll be hiding with Schwere, once it gets close Schwere drops a pile of Gravity on it, Madeleine bashes its face in, we'll hit it from behind with our chainsaw teeth and hamstring it to further reduce mobility. Once its legs are toast from Gravity, Bolts, and Teeth we keep our distance and wear it down more.

Rolled 17

>>25536503
Lets open with a few choice words, such as:
"Hello, brother. Would you Kindly explain why you attacked our camp?"

Then we brutally murder him. Regardless of answer.
Lets have Schwere focus her gravity magic on him while Ivan and Armbrust pester him with crossbow bolts. We can go in melee against him with Madeleine, flanking him

>>25536591
you just had to give the QM ideas, didn't you?

>>25536628
Let's not waste the element of surprise.

>>25536544
Buff everyone with our Black Bread.

If the trees are high up, we want to set Armbrust and Ivan on their tops. Have Ivan open up initially, perhaps with a shot to the eyes to blind the MANCENTAUR and Armbrust hoping from tree to tree and firing bursts at the guy to confuse him.

Before we engage, ask what Schwere can do with her abilities. If she can simultaneously make objects lighter and heavier at the same time...

Let Madeleine draw the guy's attention from the front. When he comes to attack her, have Schwere lighten his weapon and make his arms heavier. This'll weaken his attack and makes sure Madeleine only needs to tank his charge. From there, we can attack him rapidly from the back with our fangs.

>>25536598
The people would surely blame the destruction of Temes on Hec here, so we have to keep him away from people to keep up our "exorcists did it" ploy.

>>25536607
>>25536648
Huh, our suggestions are pretty similar.

>>25536607
I like this. Make it die slow and painfully. That ought be worth some bonus exp. Maybe even toss a chunk into its mouth. It'll be distracted a bit by the awesome flavor of our immaculate bread!

>>25536633
I learned that lesson from another quest that I now always faithfully adhere to. "Never give the GM any ideas"

After all, a player really does know how to fuck over his character best if he's any good. Never tell anyone about that. It'd be like Superman going around telling everyone "Hey, I'm broken as all fuck but if just hold out this green rock in front of me I become a little bitch!"

Not a very smart thing to do.

>>25536651

>>25536711

In this though, it's risk vs reward.

The harder the enemy, the more exp he'll deliver.

However, as an Akuma, he must be devoured for exp. So you can either claim it for yourself or let one of the family have it. Choose wisely.

As for course of action, unless anyone has amendment between these two >>25536648
>>25536607
Or alternatives, I'll start with this! <3

>>25536821
He seems pretty physically oriented. Might want to let Madeleine have it.

Or split it between the two of us?

>>25536821
let's let one of the 1.5's eat it. Specifically, Madeleine. I can feel that our Imouto is close to lvling up...

>>25536781
The power up takes a second or two, a second or two our boys can use to riddle it with bolts as it just sits there going "Fuck yeah this tastes like awesome!"

Whatever buff he gets won't matter once we gouge out his eyes with bolts and CHOMP his head in before it even gets a chance to apply itself man.

>>25536821
The honors go to whomever lands the deciding blow. It is only fair, JUSTICE demands it. I hope we do but if we don't oh well, someone we like gets the exp at least and that's all that really matters.

>>25536868
by that, do you mean you want to wishbone him?

>>25536868
We should just eat it all and become the akuma we were meant to be. Everyone else is just a pawn.

>>25536876
Why take the risk? If we want to punish him, why not...

>>25536908
This?

I don't think we even wishboned the second exorcist we killed like we planned.

>>25536931
i don't think we did either, and that makes me sad.

>>25536909
Not entirely. We are one big, happy, evil family after all. We're like the Earl of our little posse. We head the family yes, but we are all still family.

We're his favorite for a reason. We remind him of himself perhaps?

>>25536946
but we must remember, even if one dies, we can make another to replace it. kinda like the Noah Clan, although it takes them longer to be replaced

>>25536946
Either way we should take all the exp for ourselves

>>25536976
Well, we can vote on it when we come to that point.

>>25536976
Having a third level 2 akuma might be a better choice strategically. Especially if we are to fight a strong exorcist. Eating a level 2 might give the last little push Madeleine needed to attain level 2 herself.

You reach into your oven and pull out a loaf of your black bread, slicing it into 5 chunks with your claws, and passing the pieces to the family, that all consume it graciously..

You feel your strength surge...
(Strength temporarily increased to (3) !)

"Ivan, Armbrust. Split off down the road and take your shots, moving between volleys, Go." The Wolf and spider disappear into the brush and you already hear another roar from your prey.

Your attention snaps to Madeleine," I know you fear it, but I trust you. Gain it's attention and rely on that hard hide of yours. The rest of us will cover you, On my mark, go.."

Without arguing, the gold-hued brute nods and prepares to pounce at once.

You turn to Schwere, that still sits upon your back," How good are you at that magic? Could you lighten and weigh something at the same time?"
The mage slides down from your back, her orbs appearing upon her shoulders and hands," Indeed, I can. I'll do so from the brush. What's the target?"
"Lighten the weapon, leaden the arm. I want him to swing a twig."
The mage disappears.

You take to the skies, arcing your back and pushing your wings down. You see the target lashing out into the woods with those icy blue flames, and a roar later, they explode into an inferno. It seems the power of fire is strong in this one...

With a roar, Madeleine advances...

As it is already, with Devil's luck the dice are already in your favor.

Since I take the highest of three, a crit not-withstanding, if 6 7 and 94 are rolled, you get 94.
If 2 7 and 80 are rolled, it crits at 2.

No reason to change that.

>>25537176
I think we were due for a bit of bad luck anyway, it spices things up when things go wrong!

>>25537214
Well, she might get incapacitated. Having someone get killed in a success seems excessive.

>>25537246
It may be that we angered the entity that controls the Devil's Luck.

>>25537237
Well yeah, but as it is after thinking about it keeping Devil's Luck on reduces the chance of a crit as 1-5 is a smaller number of numbers than 95-100, I'd personally go for 1-5 and 96-100 so both crit fail/success are equally likely.

When facing stronger opponents, you need better plans, and better rolls.

The plan is good. Success is a given, though not without some kind of damage played out.

From death? I don't think so.

>>25537361
From missing limbs.

>>25537361
There are fates worse than death my good anon. But so long as you are not dead such things can be overcome. And I do so love it when I get to do so.

Akuma, as killing "machines", can implicitly be repaired. Our bread can likely help, being made of dark matter and all.

>>25537373
well, yeah, we can do that. But I don't think we will be lucky like that.

oh well. I liked Our ironic Imouto, powered by the soul of an exorcist...

>>25537390
but if the body is completely destroyed, the soul will be released.

Akuma eating each other also destroys the soul.

This is why I like you, Duke. YOu enjoy suffering, REGARDLESS of the form.

I was waiting for a fuckup like this to come along, and the suffering is going to be sweet!

Madeleine dashes forward, tackling into the blue-flamed transgressor even as he's pelted with bolts from the two shooters. Some bounce, yet others stick and he seems to be fairly annoyed, especially with Madeleine rocking him.

They roll into the nearby brush and you see an explosion of flame that sinks your heart.

"No!" You roar as your own flaming heart swelters with rage. You see the burning blue machine rise from the charred trees and you dive down, your maw open, chains screaming.

You see an oversized bolt tear into the side of the enemy, right as you meet it, causing it to shutter and fall as you bite for its head, only to be restricted by its polearm.

The thing roars and its flames explode from its body, yet you, you're used to heat... You're a baker after all.

You keep your chainsaws running, slowly tearing apart the pole, you wrap your tail around the thing and see a bolt go into the joint of the arm, only for it to go limp, and the head, now yours.

You crunch down on the head of the demon's body and start twisting and tearing, fully intending to tear apart the creature even as more well aimed bolts skewer it threw the sides.

You adjust the angle of your maw and saw out its eyes, even as you grip at its limbs in a vain attempt to pull it apart, you draw your head back and halt the saws for a moment, to call out the name of a comrade.

"Madeleine!" The roar rings out through the woods. You feel the thing that you've wrapped up move to strike you only to have its one remaining arm locked by intense gravity.

"She won't be answering, Faefnir." Schwere's cold voice is the first to come out, and you snap your head back to lock one eye upon her.
"She is-"
"I saved her from that explosion, though she is hurt badly." She holds her left arm with her right. A fiercely dark energy emanating from her orb. She's really working to keep this thing locked up.

More bolts riddle its side, even as it groans. Ivan approaches slowly and surely, firing the bows on either of his arms as soon at the next one is ready. You spits at the ground before it by the time there's as many as 20 bolts lodged in its armor plating. "Fucking piece of shit. How dare it harm our comrades. Faefnir, what are you waiting for? Finish it off? Or will it be now for one of us?" You can nearly see Ivan's rage in the wolven features of his face, metal teeth bared.

It's your choice now.

Devouring it for anything implies eating its core.

However, I'll allow salvaging its parts.

>>25537871
Ah. Schwere should probably get the kill. Not only did she save our dear imouto, she sustained damage while doing so. She's earned it.

>>25537845
madeleine if she's able, Sechwere if Madeleine can't.

>>25537845
Madeleine.

>>25537907
I don't think she's in a state to devour anything...

We could salvage some of his parts to make Madeleine and Schwere heal faster perhap.

Best rip off some limbs beforehand.

>>25537919
I forgot; what happens to the corpse of an Akuma after they're killed in the manga? It's been some time since I read it and I just assumed they disintegrated into bits.

Anyway, let's take its weapon. Give it to Madeleine to wield, eh?

>>25537845
Schwere. Her magic saved the day this time. Truly, if it weren't for her, we would have lost one of the Duke's most favored Akuma.

>>25537959
generally they turn to dust.

>>25537945
She only needs to eat the core, which we can rip out at our leisure.

>>25537967
It might not be good to show favoritism to Schwere right now. Madeleine seems like the jealous type and she DID just take one for the team right now.

>>25537845
Maddy eats it. Armbrust get the parts

>>25537980
Well, Akuma are usually killed by exorcists in the manga, which thanks the duke we are not.

You realize your blatant favoritism of Madeline will piss off the rest of the 'family', right?

Let's chainsaw-shred it's limbs before anyone eats the core. I want this thing to feel as much pain as possible.

>>25538007
Who are you talking to?

>>25538007
Just trying to keep everyone from dying. Hence the dismemberment.

>>25538011
Do akuma feel pain? We are metal, right?

>>25538007
we aren't playing favorites. right now, Madeleine is the most damaged, so she should get it. Schwere is mildly damaged, and it'll most likely heal with time.

>>25538007
If she's capable of eating it, Madeleine NEEDS it. she might die without it; she's seriously wounded.

Alright.

For the Core

1: Schwere
2: Madeleine

Parts include:
a partially sawed Halberd
Armor-bits that have recently been perforated.
And an armored Centuar-like lower body.

>Do with it what you will.

We can salvage the polearm and give it to Maddie, since she apparently has hands?

Whatever machine inside it that allows it to make fire? We integrate into ourselves.

Anything else is scrap we can use to repair ourselves.

>>25538073
Wait, what CAN we do with the lower body? If we integrated it with one of our members, would they level up to 2? Or would they just be a Level 1.5 with a Level 2's parts?

We can't, really. We got the camaraderie personality quirk last time, it'd go against character.

>>25538136
Curse our softness. I guess bakers are generally friendly people.

>>25538073
For the core:
Madeleine

We can grab the halbert for ourselves or give it to Madeleine.

Armor bits and centaur body could go to anyone.

>>25538145
no sir, I don't think you are entirely getting it. we have the quirk "Camaraderie" and it would be in character for us to go along with it.

I was okay with the possibility of Madeleine dying.

>>25538145
What do you mean?
We're trying to keep everyone alive to ensure the body count stays high the next time we go into battle.

>>25538123
>Or would they just be a Level 1.5 with a Level 2's parts?
Gimp Armoring and yes, they'd only have lv 2 parts without evolving themselves.

My major problem was the strategy. "Hey Madeline you see this thing that is far more powerful than you? Go jump on it to distract it."
Captcha: you tesument

>>25538073
Maddy gets the core. 2.

Halberd goes to Armbrust
Armor bits goes to Shwere. Cover you weakspot up.
Body...i dunno

>>25538180
Wasn't there a drawing of our lvl 3 form holding some kind of chainsaw halberd?

>>25538173
On what grounds?

Schwere and Armbrust are stoics, and Schwere is smart enough to understand that the core may help Madeleine recover.

Ivan cares just as much for the group as us (and did, for much longer).

The kids haven't developed enough of a personality to be jealous and Kama is satisfied with causing general mayhem/mothering (IS THERE A DIFFERENCE?).

>>25538173
hey, no matter what we do, some of them are gonna be jealous.

>>25538145
I don't think that you understand our character. With the camaraderie quirk, we care a lot about our 'family'.

Madeleine is injured, she needs the help to recover.

Also, I think we should take the halberd for ourselves, see if we can fix it up for ourselves. Help go towards the level 3 form of ourself that has a chainsaw halberd.

>>25538197
I have an awful Idea. Let's give the armor to the kids.

>>25538219
I say we call dibs

>>25538222
It was a chainsaw halberd to replace our weakened bite in the more humanoid third level form.

>>25538240
I like how you think.

>>25538240
yesssss.... let us do this.

>>25538197
Let's get the armor bits to Kralle. She's a close combat type, right? Give her the lower body as well.

The polearm....not sure how anyone aside from us and Ivan can wield it, considering everyone else is bipedal. If we ignore that, we can give it to Armbrust, so that he can mix it up between going melee and range. Make him an even better spotter to Ivan's sniper.

>>25538240
...brilliant.

>>25538073
Madeline gets the core, big mama kama gets the halberd, schwere gets the armor and the kids get the body to fuck around with (imagine a couple kids with a big cardboard box type thing)

If the core is only experience won't it make more sense for Madeleine to assimilate the body to repair herself?

>>25538288
I think you mean everyone else is a quadruped.

>>25538336
experience allows you to make adjustments to your body, plus, if she lvls up, she gets a whole new body.

>>25538315
Oh, I just realized that Schwere could lighten up the armor. It'd make sense to give her more protection, especially if it won't affect her ability to move.
>>25538336
After our mouth got destroyed from killing Ariel, the experience allowed us to upgrade them and allow them to heal.

You unravel yourself from the body and slam your jaws into the chest-plate, wedging your blade-bits at the edge and revving your saws to pry it off. The thing screams and more fire explodes from its body in defense, yet you shrug off the pain and jam your claw into its chest, pulling away a pulsating black core with wires still attached. The thing's body begins to shut down as the wires snap off.

You find it a bit grim... A bit grim indeed that this is all that stands between you, and your own death...

You turn back, eyeing the others as they gathe in their demon forms, save for Schwere , whom remains in her mostly human form, with a cracked orb upon her right arm.
"Bring Madeleine, she'll consume this. Hopefully it will allow her to repair the damages-"
"I want it." Schwere states plainly. You regard her specifically.
"You what?"
"You heard me Faefnir. I want it. I saved Madeleine. I want the core. I can feel my power growing, and I don't know how long this orb will take to fix. It cracked when I saved her. Give it to me."

>[] Stand down.
>[] You dare contradict me?

>>25538437
This is unexpected.

Well, to be honest she did save the day and her magic is probably going to save our ass against the next exorcist, so I think it may be a good idea.

>>25538437
Let Ivan and Armbrust vote. If their vote cancels out each other, then Maddy hasn't voted and Maddy votes to save herself.

Also, next one we'll probably give to Shwere. But Need before Greed folks

>>25538437
"...I will decide once I have assessed Madeleine's condition. should I deem it necesisary for her survival, she will consume the core, and you will have your pick of all the other parts. Otherwise, you may have it. Also you would do well to remember that you do not lead us."

Sure it is. She has a simple statement, "I want it," and an argument that she earned it. Rather than confronting the argument directly, you're trying to guilt trip and bribe her in to doing it. How is she supposed to take it as anything but an insult?

Hey remember that thing I predicted? Where giving Madeileine the core would be a thing that'd piss off the family? And you all said, "no waaaayyyy"? GUESS WHAT.

Madeleine was weak, and could be finished off.

and not the nice, sexy kind

You tear the core from the recently deceased Akuma's body and snarl at her with your chainsaw fangs, Your voice comes out, stern and broiling," "Schwere, I understand your ambition, though this is not the time You saved Madeleine and we will save her again. You will be rewarded, but for now, a comrade is in need. We killed that woman from your old order so that you would NOT be separated from us." You snap your eyes to Ivan," This is so, is it not?"

The Demon man nods," This is so. We endangered ourselves to deal with that woman. You are our comrade. We will keep you alive, and your time will come."

Schwere is about to speak, yet you carry on yourself,"As you well know, everyone in the family will do anything they can to keep everyone else in the family safe. If you have a problem with that, by all means, persist."

Schwere looks to you, mouth shut and looks away. "Give her the core then..."

"Ivan, Armbrust."

The two nod and head over to the burnt brush to pull out Madeleine.

Schwere stares at you the entire time that you wait, her eyes seeming to express more emotion than usual... She suddenly sighs and turns away from you," Are we taking the body? We could probably use the parts." Her tone is flat again, as usual.

"Yes, I had considered it, would you like the armor?"
"I suppose I could make do if you melt the holes shut."

You pick up the partially chewed Polearm, claiming it for yourself and start to move the body, though it's heavy.

"I'll help with that." Schwere points her left arm at the body and her orb radiates once more, making the body significantly lighter. Enough for you to pick up.
You notice that Schwere's Right arm now hangs limply.
"Is it, okay?"
She looks to you, saying nothing.
Armbrust and Ivan pull up Madeleine's body, the armor on her arms has been blown off, her mane fried, part of her face-plate missing along with the armor of her breast, her core is exposed.

>>25539034
Yeah, I'm just joshing around.
(poopyhead)

>>25539042
Hey. About that carriage the other akuma destroyed. Any valuables we can salvage from it?

Can we have Ivan attempt to track down the akuma's hideaway? See if the guy had been stashing away all his ill gotten goods somewhere?

>>25539042
"don't worry Schwere, I know of an exorcist in heavy armor that I am just sure you'll love to eat."

>>25539042
well, that went significantly better than I had actually expected... yay leadership!

>>25539099
Indeed. time to restore our own stocks. The kids need something to play with after all.

>>25539122
well, Schwere is pouting a bit, but oh well, she'll get over it.

"If I hadn't suppressed the explosion, it would have evaporated her." Schwere begins to walk away, her spell still active on the corpse. "I'll see you all back in camp."

You approach Madeline, and regard her more closely, one of her Oculars regards you while the other's been burnt away. Her mouth is slightly agape. "H-hey... Faefnir... G-give a g-girl some... Pri-vacy..." She strains the words out, some of her oil leaking.

"She's looking bad Comrade... I don't know how well our kind heals from this sort of thing. She may not make it, even with the core.." Ivan's voice is grim, grim and choked.

Armbrust whines, and trembles...

At Strength 3, how strong are we? If Strength 2 is as strong as a bear, then what animal/machine can we be compared with now?

Rolling for Maddie.

Salvage the carts, but have Ivan head on ahead of us back to the camp with Schwere.

salvage, try this>>25539099

If we do end up duking it out with the Exorcist back in town, we can let Schwere give the coup 'd grace.

We're going to need to kill something strong to make it up to Schwere. She got the short end of the stick with this.

don't go mentioning terrible ideas like that, they might end up getting implemented.
