Here's the coffee everyone

>>36769858
Greetings. I'm one of the construction mages working on your new building. Is it alright if I sit in with your meeting? I know you settle most matters in these councils, and I'd like to know what my crew will be up against when we start the job.

>>36769858
Well a scrying lab is a must for my classes, I imagine a practiceroom/range would be helpful. Several avults for our gold/magic items/and artifacts would be another must as would an infirmary and a room or several to hold dangerous mages like Ashburn or Jheska or even me should the worst come to pass.

>>36769893
Much obliged Mortimer

>>36769936
You have no idea my friend things will get weird. Always do.

>>36769858
Actully, several of my coffee pots are still in the kitchen. If those could be retrieved I would be most pleased

>>36769936
I don't think anyone's going to complain, probably a good idea to know what you can and can't do. I definitely want a panic room.

>>36769975
Thanks for the warning. I'm sure you won't be any worse than the last evil sorcerer's castle we put up. I mean, you don't feed construction workers to trolls, or anything like that.

... right?

>>36769936
There must be a house located near the back of the grounds. The roof must be 20ft high, with the door being 18 feet high. A smaller door in the big door must be 7 ft high. I think that covers it for me

>>36769858
Well I know it might seem difficult, but I think we should transport the basement of the current guild hall in one piece to where we want the new one. Do you have any idea how many of the sealed spells, creatures and portals we have down there at this point? It's a miracle we don't have some bumbling apprentice breaking one every week. Just imagine what would happen if we left them there when we left.

>>36769893
Ah, thank you Mortimer.

>>36769991
Several knowing you Pierre

>>36770043
No never. Watch the necromancers and fleshwarpers though.

Well, Valflame is still with me, so everything else in my room and office can be retrieved at a leisurely pace. As for the new guild, a better public bath facility would be nice, one for both sexes of course.
Or a better, more fireproofed place for the pyromancy department's training and teachings. Either or really.

>>36769991
Certainly sir. Secret hatches, escape routes, scrying pools to see what's going on outside the room, security wards, impenetrable locks, iron, steel, stone, mithril – whatever you need to ensure your safety.

>>36769936
How sturdy can you make the walls? I've done some calculations lately and my secondary department would probably tear through the old walls like if they were made of paper. So I think I would want some quality walls that can handle focused energy beams, just in case.

I'm here to let you know that a good number of the summoning circles containing certain supernatural powers (For example, moi) have been broken in the old hall. I'm representing a group of spirits looking for enrollment and housing to study magic in.

Good evening everyone, nice to be able to catch a meeting on time for once.

>>36769893
Thank you Mortimer, your coffee is excellent as always.

>>36769975
How are you holding up there Soros?

>>36769858
>>36769991
I can agree with Conspierre on this one, I shudder to think what would have happened without his restaurant...

>>36770043
No we haven't feed failing contract workers to trolls for years, though we might reanimate the ones who fall off walls and such to ensure accidental deaths don't slow down your progress. Now about the basement, do you think transporting it in one piece is doable?

>>36770114
A one-way antimagic field would be nice too, I want to be able to scry and cast from within it without anyone else being able to direct such spells at me. If you can't set that up, leave provisions for runecarving and I'll do it myself.
>>36770076
Always. Also counting it as a personal victory that the world eater couldn't discern the one location I put everything into hiding.

>>36769858
Oh dear, always hosting these things when I am about to sleep.
That being said, I am going back in for my lab and test samples even if a god tries to stop me personally.

>>36769893
Thank you Mortimer, I sorely needed that.

>>36770114
If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd prefer a lab space in a tower this time, the basement was nice, don't misunderstand. But the magical wards were lacking and containment is much easier when I can shoot errant experiments out of the sky without having to worry about the structural integrity of the guild.

>>36770166
I hadn't even finished the protections around it, been rushing them lately with some help from various members while we wait for the new hall.
>>36770103
You didn't have a private bathroom? I think I had at least six.

>>36769893
Coffee coffee coffee.

>>36770232
I did.
Then it got destroyed, long story, afterwards I just bathed with the rest of the female students at night.

>Ah, glad to see construction is underway!
*Anfarthon's probe hovers around Pierre's head, just out of reach as a 'hologram' of his head examines the scene.*
>Sorry I could not be there in person, but the Observance will last another 12 days and 1 hour, 33 minutes.
>Anything important I should know? Anything the Head Lawmagus must sign?

>>36770166
>>36769858
Make sure there are lots of tall, pointy towers, imposingly high walls, a dungeon full of monsters, etcetera, I really am a sucker for the classics.

>>36770049
That shouldn't be a problem, sir.

>>36770127
I hear ya. We've been working with this diamond-like material lately, popular with the elves and their laser tag arenas. Energy beams just sort of get absorbed into the crystal and fizzle out. Screening your walls with it should protect your offices just fine.

>>36770166
Alright the chains are working and whatever happened knock out all my status afflictions accept my chaos taint. Honestly feel better than I have in years.

>>36770189
He knew Pierre, he just didn't care. Beating you so easily would have bored him. Granted he likely would have finished you of if the others didn't intervene. He enjoys the means far more than the ends.

>>36770114
I'd like the scrying lab far enough away from abjuration so they don't interfere with my students seeings. Being far from Conjuration circles would be helpful as well. Also ward the hell out of our vaults, too many of my students use them for "private" time with other students.

Witches and Warlocks, I hope I am in the correct room this time. The UN is unhappy with the level of resources and funding required to maintain the secrecy of your Guild's activities, given how common minor spats between your folk are.

How does the wizarding world intend to remedy this situation? The UN is unwilling to continue supply of mundane materials if an amiable solution cannot be arrived at.

>>36770175
That's... reassuring. Thank you sir. If you're willing to cover the UmberHaul fee to move it, we'll have that basement laid down into the new building's foundation and ready to go.

>>36770274
Probably requisition forms. Never have I been so thankful that I took the time to learn how to make corporeal illusions, I've been working overtime with the last spare body getting wards set up and making new spares. Fortunately signing forms doesn't take much energy and I've had ample time to recover.

>>36770321
We as a general rule avoid your plane, sucks the magic right out of us. You want the warlock's pact three leagues over. Following the infernal screams.

>>36770353
Conspierre, I managed to finish your last batch of doppelgangers with my old chemistry set, you can pick them up whenever you are free.

>>36770318
You say he didn't care, I say his arrogance made him think he knew where it was.
>>36770374
Oh, you are a saint. That saves me so much legwork in preparing them, just have to set up the proper wards and enchantments now.

>>36770318
I guess that's to be expected from a World Command healing spell. I am still tired from him casting that...

>>36770321
The who?

>>36770189
We can get an anti-magic field up, but I'm afraid making it one-way is above our ability. You're welcome to our rune-carving tools, of course.

>>36770283
Good, good, hopefully it will be able to take a hit of this "Daylight Breaker" I've heard so much about.

>>36770368
Soros, anything new on this relic Samantha found? I haven't been able to find the time to talk to her about it personally.

>>36770283
Thank you. Coffee?

>>36770421
I think I heard her screaming a few hours ago, if that helps.

>>36770392
He had gathered a fragment of your soul to trace you, of course that got blasted out from the two explosions but still.

>>36770406
Yeah, thanks for that by the way. Mortimer's coffee can help take the edge off.

>>36770421
I haven't been in a position to ask her lately. The world eater trashed my labs before he went after Pierre's restaurant. Still cleaning up the mess.

>>36770448
I hope it's unrelated.

>>36770448
I'll get my club

>>36770411
Perfectly fine, I'll just set one of these dopplegangers up and get right on it.
>>36770421
You think Ashburn might have tried giving Noel a magical girl transformation before we ousted him? It seems to react to the same mental states that heighten the effectiveness of pyromancy, judging by my observations.

>>36769893
"Wonderful."

>>36770321
So, how many of your "united states" have legalized that potent medicinal herb that I gave you at our last conference?

Hello all! What'd I miss?

>>36770368
Thank you sir, but I must point out that I have been shuffled between offices and departments for the better part of a year now. I take my leave now.

>>36770353
>Simple enough matter. I'll have this probe fill out every necessary form in triplicate while I attend Consignment.
>I have greatly appreciated the novelty of this spell ever since I first learned it, Ethereal Projection is great! Sadly, won't help non-ethereal beings.

>>36770194
You got it. Towers have become something of our specialty.

That shouldn't be a problem. I'll get into the specifics of each of the labs as we go along, but we can certainly map them out far enough apart as you wish. Warding your new vaults shouldn't be an issue, but I recommend applying your own if you feel my boys aren't up to the task.

>>36769858
Repairing the library would probably be the best - lot of books, I'm sure ONE of them would have something we could use.

>>36770103
better baths would be appreciated too. As for rebuilding, I'm a geomancer. Do you need stone or concrete?

>>36770338
Good to hear, the cost shouldn't be a problem, if I can I might even cover that cost personally. It would be far to much work to redo all those seals manually.

>>36770480
I hope not it'd definitely try to control her, no way he'd let her have that power with no sure way he'd not get blasted.

>>36770524
Quinn wants to talk to you Samantha.

>>36770472
Well, that will lead him to yet another decoy. I've got an alarm system set up that goes off whenever there's a possibility that discovering it may become possible, its only lit up twice, and by random coincidences that left a single thread of fate connecting to it.

>>36770504
Here comes the headache

>>36770522
Oh they'll do nicely for now.
Just take it from me, disintegrating sterilization wards are not something you want set up before the amount of personell is written in stone.

>>36770564
I hear stabupuncture helps with that, granted, I heard it from mr.Stabby, and I'm not quite sure what it actually "is". But you could ask him for some.

>>36770524
Oh your hair's back to brown again.
And you're also wearing a proper shirt as well

>>36770480
I honestly just can't picture Noel as a Magical Girl, sure she already wears skimpy clothes, burns everything for little reason, and is a girl, but I just can't see it.

>>36770564
Indeed.

>>36770517
Seriously only mortal magicians that can function on your plane are warlocks. Watch for demons.

>>36770583
Stabby is the cause of the headache in this case.

>>36770594
Like I said he likely put an enchant on it to control her so she wouldn't blast him.

>>36770589
>>36770594
No offense of course.

>>36770583
He's pretty much got stabupuncture down pat. I'm pretty sure the only reason he doesn't like to heal himself is because he hates getting stabbed.

>>36770448
Eh... I think I'll go look into that... soooooonish.

>>36770472
I see, well I guess that's understandable, I've been stuck doing paper work after taking over the Witchcraft Faculty so I missed that incident.

>>36770480
Making someone a Magical Girl to control someone sounds like a horrible idea! Do you have any idea how those transformations affect the mind? Herding cats without magic would be simpler.

>>36770524
Samantha, just the Apprentice I was looking for! I hear you made a discovery lately, a certain relic of some kind connected to the old Magical Girl Accademy?

>>36770480
Ashburn? Giving me something that improves my ability without a catch? Not likely, the outfit is probably something that makes the old outfit he made me wear look like a nun habit by comparison.

>>36770521
If it's anything like my illusory projections, it is an absolutely unfair amount of fun.
>>36770594
I can think of a few "out there" scenarios. But my theory is already stretching it, so I think we'll just have to wait and see.

>>36770594
My outfits aren't that skimpy. Minidresses are perfectly acceptable.

>>36770631
So I should try it first is what you're saying?
>>36770627
I can't say that I have any idea whatsoever. I am unable to use any magical girl spells.

>>36770631
Mind controlling you with it as the catch seems more likely. Of course you in a skimpy outfit knowing him is a given.

>>36769858
Th-the Library? Oh my deities! You cannot be real! Do you know how long it took to make that place organized?! Not to mention the cata-tomes! Those will take weeks to clean out and organize!
Do you even understand the problems the new enchantments have cause already? "Experience the spells before you learn them!" They said! "It'll be fun!" they said!
Do you know how muh fun it was when some prankster put the "Oceanic views" tome in the "pyromancy" section?

>>36770617
Ya think?

Witches and Wizards, forgive my intrusion, is this the correct place to discuss grievances of mundaFUCK THIS PLACE AND ITS NON-EUCLIDEAN GEOMETRY.

>>36770672
The old guild had a decommission bombs go off in it then had the World eater tear through it. Any magic cast in that place is liable to turn wild.

>>36770663
I rather not, I already went through enough, I don't want the image of you in three square feet of cloth, drowned in feathers and glitter, burnt into my mind.

>>36770684
"I don't see what the problem is, when done right the wounds heal right back up once you take the knife out."

>>36770699
Oh whats wrong, normie can't handle a little non conventional infrastructure?

>>36770672
The old guild hall is shattered, is the library even stable in its current state?
>>36770699
Don't talk shit about my restaurant you swine, I hired the finest in interior decorators to bring its majesty before you....not the wreckage, that was something else.
>>36770708
I guess I'll just save that one for when I need cheering up then.

>>36770648
Very acceptable, Ma'am.

>>36770699
*write him a map and sends him on his way* Seriously we're not even in the guild right now, you shouldn't get lost.

>>36770672
I remember that, the resulting mess supplied me with algae for a good decade.
Good times.

>>36770684
You get used to stabbing after a while, I could get you a draught that removes pain, it's only permanent in some cases.

>>36770699
Turn hubwise on the fifth circular stair junction and then fall backwards to reach the entrance. If that doesn't work, try falling forwards.

>>36770716
Just because that happened when you did it on me, I wouldn't assume it happens with everyone.

>>36770716
I know that, how ever, why should I stab my self when I have all these great healers around
>>36770750
See above

>>36770648
The majority of the souls in my shadow are from more conservative times, it tends to rub off a little.

>>36770663
Well neither can I sadly, but as a researcher on the subject it's safe to say that any attempt at mind controlling a transformed Magical Girl has about a 89% chance of blowing up in your face. Most of the cases literally.

>>36770708
You sure you don't want to try? Witnessing a first time transformation could benefit my research immensely.

>>36770589
Yeah. I'm grateful myself, something about the hair color changing really fucks with my notions of self-preservation.

>>36770627
Yeah, found a book supposedly on loan from the Magical Girl Academy before it was folded into the mages guild, and there was this purple marble hidden in the spine.

I'm pretty sure it's some manner of magical girl's transformation trinket with fire powers. However I can't get it to activate no matter what I try. It's gotta be waiting for something.

>>36770782
Wellllllll only if I'm sure it won't mind control me, we have enough of that going on, and that I can change back.

>>36770705
Honestly at this point I'm almost willing to deal with the magics. I've had to move this libraries stuffs 2 times and every time my back gives out a little more.
>>36770735
Hardly, but my apprentices are doing work rejuvenating the books and bringing them back to the original condition. it takes time. In the mean time I was installing shelves....
>>36770750
..and I wish to thank you for that. We found a bit more of the sludge seeping from a "decomposing sea life" book but none have wanted to open it. Apparently there's a warning it will explode like the carcass of a dead whale eventually

>>36770775
They must really hate the Grade S ZR then.

>>36770750
".....I happens with everyone.... when done right. other wise you're just stabbing people. Did I ever tell you time when I was first starting out and tried to help out the prostitutes in the area? All those dead hookers."

>>36770774
"Because you need to stay in practice!"

>>36770811
Just a shot in the dark here, but perhaps during life threatening times, or when you pass a certain threshold of anger or righteous fury?
>>36770826
Well, starting from scratch with the containment measures would give you a lot more room to get exactly what you want.

>>36770826
Ask the necromancers, artificers, or conjurers to lend Servants/automatons/outsider servants to help then. You don't have to do all the heavy lifting.

>>36770817
This can only go well.

>>36770839
I am staying in practice! After all, there are always those "brave" apprantices willing to try anything

>>36770811
"Have you tried taking it to your local thiefs guild appraiser?"

>>36770889
YEH I BET ITS TOTALLY GONNA BE AWESOME DO IT NOEL

So, what happened after I left?

>>36770866
Oh it isn't heavy lifting at all, the library's contents have wards that allow us to animate the books to walk. Keeps them from getting too far and we can get them back when overdue. But I have to watch it all happen and our chairs are incredibly uncomfortable, my back always is hurt just from sitting in them and watching for a while....
>>36770856
...well, that could work, I've wanted to get more space for the cata-tomes

File: 1418157973462.jpg (97 KB, 846x1000)

>>36770826
Knowing decomposing marine life... And I do, that warning is most likely correct. I could use it though, good protein slurry is hard to get ethically.

>>36770839
That sounds profoundly unpleasant, what did you ever do with the bodies?

>>36770811
>>36770856
I like that idea! Can I introduce you to a creation of mine?

>>36770909
Now I am sure it is a terrible idea.

>>36770856
Certainly possible. If it's anger then stabby being around should set that off right quick...

>>36770904
I honestly don't trust them.

>>36770811
Interesting, you must let me examine it. Though with just guessing I would say a surge of emotion might be the trigger, it usually is with these things.

>>36770856
That might be it too, these things aren't always predictable but your idea would fit the theme they seem to follow.

>>36770817
Well as I said, about a 89% chance it will blow up in the face of whoever tires, a total of 80% chance that any attempt will cancel out before it begins. And during the remaining 11% where the control somehow works you will likely result in a massive boost of power that I predict will end with the guild hall in ruins, but we are already working on that so no problems there.

Also I think our ex-head of necromancy was working on some kind of spell to cancel these transformations ever since his last run in with magical girls, you know, that Daylight Breaker incident.

>>36770927
Ethics are silly. Have you been to the ethics and law section of the library? You can't get in without being barraged with law books trying to arrest you

>>36770733
Perhaps if you grew up without access to magic, you wouldn't be so quick to mock me.

>>36770735
And you, sir, might sympathise if you grew up without magic.

>>36770744
We may not be in the guild hall this moment, but this geometry is frustrating to navigate. The time warps are of no help either.

>>36770750
This is unhelpful. I already tried both ways at that particular junction on directions from a previous room.

>>36770511
The United States have legalised that herb, but other nations are still cautiously testing it. Our lack of magic makes it difficult to ascertain the actual safety, you understand, but so far we have not been able to observe any of the magical qualities you promised. Our scientists suspect the mundane nature of our plane is interfering with its properties.

>>36770913
Restaurant got totaled, guild hall destroyed, and fryia's back with us. I'm pretty sure she's resting right now though. We will most likely be holding meetings here until the new guild hall is done. The construction crew is taking requests, I'd let them know what you want.
>>36770920
See? It's not so bad.
>>36770927
Please don't, I've just gotten the roof fixed in here.

>>36770966
Ah, I see. I actually see the damage done too.

>>36770966
I guess, they were getting kind of filled with all those books the library isn't allowed to let people see or read. Ever. Don't even ask about them. They are NOT up for grabs!

>>36770955
I did grow up without magic, and when I started learning it I decided it was the best thing ever.
>>36770987
At least the coffee makers are still working.

>>36770950
That's a lot of high numbers that are not in my favor.
>>36770948
You shouldn't, especially their council. so skilled they can steal the clothes off your back without you noticing.
At least that's what they say about them.

>>36770927
"Sold them to the wizards guild."

>>36770948
"You don't have to trust them. You have to be better then them, but seeing as your a mage I'd suggest hiring a fighter to help you."

>>36770950
All these numbers, bah, but yes I do have such a spell. It wouldn't help me against the ones I made it for but it should be able to handle a newly transformed magical girl.

>>36770989
Anything I wrote in there?
>>36771006
Maybe see what a rage automaton does with it? Preferably somewhere far away from here.

>>36771006
Trust me, they can. I speak from a rather unnerving experience

>>36771006
By "blowing up in the face of whoever tries" I'm referring to the one trying to control you, those odds are perfectly fine.

>>36771017
Ah, excellent, then I guess we are ready to go.

>>36771006
>>36771033
The solution seems obvious, just don't wear clothes!

Also if the construction crew needs menial labour, I have a lot of homonculi left over, deceptively strong, those.

>>36771041
Oh well in that case give it to me.

>>36771000
But did you come from a magical or mundane plane, I ask? Our plane are completely unable to use magic. People from your wizarding planes are infused with magic from birth, even if you do not use it.

>>36771006
"We really only use it as a party tricks normally."

>>36770920
Find a comfymancer, they can help.

>>36770955
You must have magic sickness poor man. It's what happens when someone from a plane of no magic get exposed to it.

>>36771053
I'm not sending my apprentice naked to the thieves-
I can't believe I actually need to say this!

>>36771075
Well, you were pretty enthused about getting the blighter druid to smell her for some reason.
>>36771063
Then how in the nine hells did you get here?

>>36771027
We are not allowed to say. Generally we re-write the books in a way that removes their ink from the original pages and and it removes the memories of the author of them. We're sorry for any painful or awkward family situations this brings up.

>>36771074
WHEN DID THAT CHAPTER OPEN IN THE GUILD!?

>>36771075
I don't see the problem, that's how I deal with them.
Never been cheated yet.
They always seem eager to get me out the door when we're done though.

>>36771053
No one wants to see you wiz- Okay, No one but ME wants to see you wizards naked."

If you all want I can mix law and chaos magic and repair all damage to the Guild. It will take a while but I can do it.

>>36771075
That's the norm when it comes to talking about them
>>36771104
Damn it Stabby

>>36771100
I was too curious not to ask, I'm sorry.

>>36771054
I'll prepare that cancelling spell...

>>36770283
You wouldn't happen to have a sample of that "diamond-like material" on hand right now?

>>36770955
If you think growing up without magic is hard, try growing up without magic then having thousands of souls, a large number being your deceased family, dating back thousands of years, whispering thousands of secrets and granting you access to powers beyond any you could believe all crammed into your shadow on the same day your grandfather died, all at the age of 14. Thankfully Aetherius planned for that kind of thing when he created the Red Shadow and gave it countermeasures to madness.

>>36771053
I'm not going to turn down the help. Thank you, sir.

>>36771124
That line of thinking's gotten me into a lot of fun, I can tell you.
>>36771101
Well, that explains a few things.

>>36771121
"What?"

>>36771100
One of your departments maintains a portal to our plane. We maintain economic agreements to supply your planes with mundane materials not available in your realms. We're told they're very useful in vanquishing magical threats for some reason.

>>36771146
I was addressing the difficulty of navigating a magical geometry without being of a magical nature, not of growing up without magic.

>>36771101
About ten years ago the sleep a lot.

>>36771075
You're in a wizards guild Noel some of us have looser morals than others.

>>36771104
Don't make me blind you....

>>36771153
I'm surprised you aren't warded against that sort of thing Pierre.

>>36771153
Yeah. Remember that guy that wanted clothes that only the wise can see? Well emotion based visions aren't allowed where his plane is from so we kinda rewrote that, along with his followers memories. We get a chuckle about people having nightmares about missing pants.

>>36771160
You know what? I just realized that no matter how perverted you act, you will never be as bad as that one thief who kept stealing my clothes

OK, let me have it.
Hmm, actually pretty now that I got a good look at it. Purple seems to follow me around lately though. Now...activate.

Hey, Bastard Guild! Why are there construction crews, umber hulks and haemonculi building your new dickhead mansion on my swamp! You butt-wizards have a lot of explaining to do!

>>36771209
That depends, what would you like to transform into?

>>36771207
Evening Krogrr, Brogrr.
You should get your suggestions in for the new guild with the builders while you still can.

>>36771191
No wonder I haven't heard of them. Sounds like a group that is about to get a lot of library contracts

>>36771191
Probably did it on purpose, knowing me.

>>36771209

Working on plans to build a new guildhall after the other one got wrecked.

>>36771219
The odd on this are so all over the place I'd need a few days to get them written down.

>>36771225
We bought the land, you were in default.

>>36771239
I imagine, bring them comfy sweaters and blankets.

>>36771244
You're an odd on Pierre.

>>36771209
Well as I said earlier, a strong emotional burst should do the trick. If that doesn't work we can try life threatening danger or danger to someone/something dear to you.

>>36771225
Wait, Vex? I was sure you lived in the next swamp over from the guild? Oh no, don't tell me I mixed up the paperwork.

>>36771209
Well, I can induce a state of near death for your soul, that could trip it if it is about life endangerment.
For anger, try thinking of Jeska IV.
and Righteous fury, how about what you would do to the thieves guild if you sent Samantha there naked?

>>36771244
GAH, Ashburn!
Wait, its glowing now-
OW OW OW OW too bright-
And tingly-
...oh for fuck's sake what in the twelve Hells am I wearing?

>>36771271
Well, nothing so powerful as a secret no one knows. Or at least that's what my predecessor said when I knifed him. Bastard died laughing.

>>36771271
Default the most magical part of my ass! I've been paying my taxes to those "Seveiht" Guild fellas for years! That's my rightful land.

>>36771292
Even for you, THAT is going overboard.

>>36771207
Ah, some of my favourite new apprentices. I see you are still alive, that's a good sign, most apprentices don't survive the first week, or was that the first month... Anyway, how have you fitted in so far?

>>36771271
>>36771227
"Who should we speak to?"

>>36771292
Hah! It worked!

>>36771270
She said you knew, and were actively encaguring her!
>>36771292
*puts on fire proof smock* well that leaves little to the imagination

>>36771293
Sure *uneasy chuckle* did he say just as planned while laughing?

>>36771292
Not sure, quite the view though.

>>36771315
Seveiht is Theives spelled backwards, you've been had witch.

>>36771326
Antruthius or the construction mage, or your department head.

>>36771292
Umm...w-w-well. It's...it's something.

>>36771284
Oh no. That is NOT happening. I am NOT going to do that, and to HELL with what anyone says!

>>36771293
If you still have his body I can probably pull the secret out.

>>36771292
Oh, wow, no wonder it was hidden away.

>>36771326
Sigmund, I reckon. He's the contractor mage hired for this job.

>>36771292
SUCCESS! Wonderful! So, care to test out that new device on the south wall so we can see how powerful you have gotten? Don't worry it's going to be removed soon anyway.

>>36771319
Tube top and what can be barely be called a miniskirt that barely covers my ass..
Yup. Ashburn made this.
Also the glowing tattoos are so second age.

>>36771346
But they had suits and formal paperwork, just like real kingdom officials. And they were complete assholes, just like real kingdom officials!

>>36771346
Yeah, next day I found myself with the sum of his magical knowledge and resembling the bastard. And fuck me if I can remember my name these day.
>>36771363
That's...not really an option. I have my original one, but no one's touching that but me.
>>36771358
Isn't it fabulous!
>>36771378
Sorry about the Ashburn illusion, figured it was the quickest way to test my theory.
>The illusion crawls up its own ass and disappears.

>>36771358
Shut up Sam, or I actually will make you visit the thieves' guild.

>>36771358
I didn't mean she should actually send you there dear, I meant she should imagine how she would feel if you did.

>>36771341
Give me that! Grrrr, that Ashburn and his damn fetishes.

>>36771409
Don't do that. What they would do to her makes me shudder

>>36771406
That is because half of the Kingdom's officials work for the thieves guild.

>>36771378
Indeed, I see the control spell he placed on it unraveling. How fortuitous.

>>36771406
Look at Stabby he's an asshole and a member of the thieves guild.

>>36771408
You got tricked Pierre. Badly I might add.

Just. angrsh, just keep the wise cracks to a minimum OK?

>>36771435
Yeah, but its in the past. At least the knowledge of conspiromancy was a boon. Really wish I was better at evocation though, I'm really not all that good at actual combat. I can play merry hell with a fight though, skipping all the way.
>>36771442
Hey, you wanted it activated.

>>36771406
Well that's because a lot of the kingdom officials are actually members of the thieves guild. They have been going around scamming a lot of the Witches living outside the guild lately.

>>36771408
Personally I found that illusion a stroke of genius, high emotions, danger and, of course, the one responsible for this thing.

>>36771424
>>36771442
Now, now, try to control your emotions, I know that should be hard considering the effects of these transformations, but I rather not have you go nuts on us while you are wielding all the destructive power. Instead, focus it and, well, blow up a wall or something. Just one though, don't want the roof falling down on us.

>>36771450
I will admit, it is a bit big.
But this body is very comfortable, and the magical reserves are much bigger, my vision cleared up, and I can eat a cow in one gulp.

>>36771480
I can assure you, I can control myself.

Now, let's see if I can turn back as well.

I apologize for being a month late for my meeting with the Wizard Council, As I was traveling I noticed an old cult reforming and had to handle the situation, They were much more deeply rooted in the area than I had expected.

I was originally sent here to attempt to broker a mutually beneficial relationship between my order and the Wizards Guild. I do not know if they have already sent someone else to discuss this matter or simply await my return.

It has been suggested to me that I make it openly clear that my specific Order believes ones actions should be judged rather than any sort of natural 'Alignment' you may identify as. So those of you whom would normally fear a paladins presence needn't worry. I understand that others of my kind can be quite boorish in regards to what they perceive as evil and will not take offense.

Trust me, you will want a body. Not having one sucks.

Fair enough, don't start eating people though. Leave the catgirl paladin alone.

Well this is going to end badly. Remember not to molest your students child.

>>36771624
My question would be why you are practicing pyromancy in the bathroom in the first place..

I have traveled quite a long way, So I assume your reaction to my appearance is not entirely unfounded. Even the other Orders of paladins have trouble leaving it without comment. I'm sure you're just being polite and you already know my Race and more about us than I probably know. Your guilds reputation is quite impressive!
>>36771585
With all due respect sir, If you are a member of the cult I just finished dealing with, You must have quite a few healers who are very skilled at playing 5200 Pickup. My lack of interest in actively pursuing people based on perceived evil rather than their actions is different from a lack in Holy Fervor.

>>36771551
Good to hear it, you two try to stay safe and let me know if there is anything I can help with.

>>36771645
I've been told they do that... I'll keep that cancelling spell ready in case it overcomes your common sense.

>>36771668
Well, I can function well enough away from my body, its just inconvenient.
>>36771670
Let me rephrase that, the wall keeping the bathrooms separated from the main room

>>36771691
What was the cult called?

>>36771679
Oh please, can't be that tough. Just gotta think calming thoughts or something.

Our order has recently come under attack from Magically inclined cults often enough lately that some of my Elders have suggested we attempt to find a method of more...Tangible defense against the magic. So I was sent to procure a mutually beneficial pact with the all powerful Mages Guild due to my diplomatic tendency ...And my skill in taking out many powerful mages at once when I need to. *Eyes sparkling here* But I'm sure that wont be necessary, If there is no pact to be made I'll just leave peacefully I would hope.

I believe the best course of action would be mutual guarding, A few of you help defend us against magic, And we'll help defend you against those pesky Assassins that live by the motto 'No matter how powerful the wizard, A dagger to the spine will seriously cramp his style'
>>36771735
I am sure you would have known if you Cult was purged Sir, I do not know its name, Merely that is its old and we have fought them before. They have not changed their tricks in thousands of years so It was just a matter of tracking them all down.

>>36771683
Hmm... yes, yours should be safer anyway since it's straight from the old academy. Now as I said earlier, strong emotions are usually the key, fear, anger, love, happiness ect. Sadness doesn't seem to work so well though, but embarrassment seems to be a 50/50 thing.

>>36771758
Calming thoughts might help, but I think getting all that power out first might be safer. We just need something for you to fight and everything should be fine.

>>36771758
Way too cast a pox on yourself Noel. Never say it can't be that tough and mean it.

>>36771775
I know the feel, World Eater whispers in the back of my head off and on. He's an asshole.

>>36771567
I suppose I owe you all an apology, then. Not that you deserve it, mind you. But I'm... sorry... for blaming you for the Thieve's Guild's misdeeds.

In order to destroy them, I may need some additional resources. You wouldn't happen to want to destroy that wretched guild, would you?

>>36771771
Well, it was easily the stupidest thing you've ever done that I've been present for.

>>36771775
With me, I suddenly get the weird desire to burn everything I see before me for some reason,

The cult I purged was using the same defenses they used back then, I merely made use of the same methods used to originally remove them.

Also I believe it is rude to ask a woman her age. But I will also overlook this as it isn't relevant.

I am unsure of the terms I am specifically allowed to offer, I was merely told to secure the pact if I am able...Though in less diplomatic terms.

I believe we could work out some numbers of guards to be exchanged, Perhaps for a week or a month at a time. And I'm sure I could negotiate a Knowledge Exchange on the side, We do have extensive libraries that may have books that interest you...Though a few books I'm afraid would be considered too telling of our Order to allow you to have.

Oh, didn't someone ask for a devil's soul last meeting?

>>36772069
Ahem...
"It's Magic, I Aint Gotta Explain Shit!"
Again, That explanation has to be the most helpful thing Danial has ever contributed.

>>36772063
Aaalright, have some stoneskin hulks and a very-dire salamander. Those should do the trick.

>>36772106
Well, seeing as I made this from several dragons I had spliced together, coupled with a morbid interest for evocative magic. I can do more than one! One hell of a headache if I do it too often though. Also hurts my throat something fierce, no wonder dragons are grumpy.

Magic follows rules - everything has to follow some sort of rules. We just...don't know the all the rules it follows yet.

>>36772106
>good luck
yeah. Gods, I'll need it.

>>36772070
I actually didn't have any plans for them, but you know that's not a bad way to put them to use. Excellent idea!

>>36772063
You mean it? I... well, *ahem* of course you need my local knowledge of the area around your new building to get accustomed to your new home. And certainly my magnificence would greatly improve your Guild's prestige. I'd love to join– I mean, I'd be delighted to improve your lives with my presence.

>>36772169
Yeah I'd bet I does, there is a reason most dragons are mono elemental.

>>36772186
I really hope you don't need it actually.

>>36772189
*looks her up and down* Still a better person than Jheska.

>>36772189
Excellent, young one. Now tell me, where can I find the good eye of newt around here?

>>36772215
I figured as much, yes.
Do you know where I can find a lozenge about the size of a small cart?

>>36772166
[Death glare intensifies]
Who let the apprentice in, for Pelor's sake?

>>36772117
Well, you never mentioned your name before!

>>36772258
Check with the Alchemists

>>36772260
He has a nametag.....

>>36772215
"I think most people are better then Jheska, from what I've heard."
>>36772259
"Sorry, but Your name is Carl, it had to happen."

>>36772186
You'll do fine.

>>36772284
At our previous places of work

>>36772169
Good, keep them handy in case Samantha needs something to blow up.

>>36772186
Yes, and every transformation we get to study today will bring us one step closer to finding out these rules. So let's get to studying.

>>36772189
Of course there is, as the head of the guild's Witchcraft Faculty I'll make sure you get first pick of living quarters as an apology for building on your swamp.

>>36772259
"Hey! Who gave you my hat! Give it back!"

>>36772189
You're welcome.

Nice to see a fellow comrade here, though I don't come as often as I would wish.

>>36772295
Stop jinxing things!

>>36772258
The best newt, I find, with the juiciest of eyes, satiate their amphibious wiles along a small creekbed in the nearby woodland. I landmark it just east of a tall rock that's just sort of minding its own business.

Unless you mean Eye of Newt™, the ale brand. I've had it a few times. Not bad, but their nearest brewery is a ways away from here, I'm afraid.

I believe there is room for some negotiation, And of course the specifics will need to be hammered out, But I didn't really expect it to be difficult, There is the small matter of a few customs I will have to teach anyone you send us. Nothing major but I suggest you leave behind any Necklace type trinkets and artifacts. We have...Issues about things that go about the neck. I'm letting you know now since I assume they are for self defense and you'll want to create alternatives.
>>36772142
I didn't think they were with you either, Or this conversation would be taking place or not taking place with a body or two in the room.
I am not THAT well versed in humans nuances, So no I would not have guessed you were human, I just assumed you were yet another race that is unknown to my Order.

While I am here on a diplomatic Mission, On a more personal request I would be interested in visiting your libraries if you would allow it, I have interest in all sorts of knowledge and I'm sure you know how limited most Orders are in accounting knowledge of things that aren't victories against evil.

Well, seeing as the first transformation went well I think I'll take my leave. I doubt my cancelling spell will be needed for Samantha's transformation at this point. If anyone need me I'll be in my bone garden.

>>36772186
Try not to trust gods, luck, or rules. They all tend to be rather unreliable.
Especially Rules created by Gods of Luck.

>>36772286
Well my scale is Jheska to Saint Paladin for a reason.

>>36772298
Still you lack of attention is worrying.

>>36772295
Seriously are you trying to invoke Murphy's law here?

>>36772344
some of them are for defense some of them amplify spells, you can do a lot with a necklace if you know how. But that's fine anything else?

>>36772362
See you later my friend.

>>36772323
What am I suppose to say?! You'll do horribly and publicly humiliate yourself?

>>36772362
"Later Bonebro!"
>Offers brofist

So, is anyone working on reconstruction? I wasn't paying any attention.

>>36772336
Small creekbed, nearby woodland.. Thank you, that will do marvelously.

>>36772386
I suppose you could, although not very nice.
I usually just pat them on the back.
Bit more difficult now though, so if you think of something good to say, I'd like to know.

>>36772387
Stay safe.
>Responds in kind

>>36772302
You've touched my heart indeed. I'd very much like to continue living in my swamp homestead, if your brutish contractors didn't have existing plans for tearing it down.

Hello, I'm here on behalf of the traders in magical artifacts.

You might not see it now, but the markets are going to crash soon. The recent spike in spellcasters created a higher demand for magical items and foci, but now, thanks to your guild sanctioning for more magical academia in the universities, more and more of the upcoming magical and even NON-magical adventurers are being taught how to Craft Wondrous Items.
Supply is increasing far faster than demand, since those interesting in the true arcane arts aren't known for their restraint. We're talking tens of thousands of GP lost daily in larger cities and there have been a rash of closures on Arcane Avenue. Wallas Street's stockbrokers say all signs point to the overabundance of easy classes, and often this leads to unregistered practitioners and crafters. Faulty wands and inanimate golems are becoming the norm, and as the foremost at the front of the arcane, you need to sort out your schooling of novices before the situation becomes even worse.
As always, the Artisan's Guild is willing to negotiate some trade rights or curriculum support, and apprenticeship options remain open, but the masters of the trade are being displaced by these upstarts that don't even remember to set a proper command word.

>>36772320
Sadly it seems like few of us show up for these meetings lately. Fryia the Crow and Jheska showed up quite often but well...

>>36772381
Soros, have we resolved the Jheska situation yet? If not I want to know how close you are to finding that bitch.

>>36772424
Terribly sorry about that, I was actually trying to make sure we didn't settle down in an occupied location but I've had my hands full lately since taking over the Faculty and I guess some of the papers got misplaced.

>>36772427
You need to speak with the economancy department, dear merchant.
They apparantly have dropped the ball on this.

There's several smaller nuances, I don't think you'll be expected to know those though. The necklace thing is big though, As in if you show up with one you'll probably be forced out of our land by bladepoint regardless of any pact. Hence why I mention it specifically.
Erm, I suppose I should also mention that...Well you know how apprentices can be around women of their age? Our apprentices are much like that but around men. So it may be best if the wizards you send have the seniority to not cause any diplomatic issues because of lack of control.

>>36772424
Existing plans have been in the library cata-tomes for a whole cycle now. If you haven't had the time to aknowledge my job than that's your own damn fault

O-okay. Let me focus a bit...whatever stupid thing is keeping this shut, it's time to bugger off. I want in, and I want in NOW!

*a pillar of flame rises up around Samantha*

>>36772513
That should work actually, get mad at the thing, it's denied you what's yours and you want it. Focus on that and it should yield eventually.

Wait, flames? Weren't you a... oh, it IS working.

>>36772424
I'm sure they can build around it or move it to an area where it won't be disturbed. They have enough hydro and geomancers for it.

>>36772427
Most of those items unravel under even a basic magical attack Theodore. It takes hard work and skill to make an item that can take a beating on it's enchantment ands stay together. Which is why they are so expensive. People will figure it out in a few months once their items start failing.

>>36772492
I'm close just trying to reforge my connection to the Judgment's call I hit her with. Hopefully in a week or less I'll have her lock stock ad barrel.

>>36772498
That can be arranged, we have many lay and journey men studying here still. May I ask why that is though?

>>36772513

"Absolutely disgusting Brogrr. They only have one head, you might as well be sleeping with an animal!"

>>36772513
Oh that looks cozy.
You ok in there little one?

>>36772492
/me adjust glasses

Huh? Another one? How long I have been out of here? Once upon a time, people around here would sneer at the idea of a witch into their ranks.

>>36772427
not really the libraries fault, with the increase in easy classes we have decided to start charging for entry level books, at a fee-nominal rate might I add, and have been using that money to offset library costs and contract other departments.

So, are we making a new Guild Hall or not?

>>36772571
Agree with yourself first. then maybe if you agree to be neutered

>>36772594
We're all magicians here.

>>36772513
*readys club* one can never be to careful.

>>36772611
You know how we get sidetracked, but I imagine so, I hear construction noises.

>>36772611
Eventually...I guess. I'm here for the coffee to be honest. Whenever my apprentices make it they filter it with book pages

>>36772427
This amuses me

>>36772567
Why necklaces are a big deal?
Well before we were fully ... Enlightened? A wizard came along and decided 'Oh, Cats' And placed *Gritted teeth* Collars *Gritted teeth end* on our ancestors. At the time it was considered a mark of power or what have you, But eventually we made contact with humans, One thing lead to another and a trader with a cat made a comment and now we have a very big issue with anything that goes around the neck. Ah, And most of my kind would not explain this in so many nice words.

If you meant the apprentice thing...Well I'm embarrassed at my outburst but I'm sure you know that one, Is just biological They cant control themselves. We were all young once.

>>36772594
Those things come and go, even the bards were part of the guild at one point, but our place in the guild has been pretty stable lately.

>>36772631
>>36772636
If you all want I can create a giant tower to use as the new guild hall.

[spoilers] okay I'm heading to bed, see you lot next thread!

>>36772648
Hey quick question, would you happen to know the name of the God of giants?

>>36772631
Need only ask for an update, good sir. The basement from the old hall and it's wards have been successfully moved by UmberHaul to the new location. Plumbing is all set up, and we've got the foundation set up for the core of the building.

>>36772637
OK why does everyone give me grief over the minidress but she walks around in that and no one questions it?

>>36772648
Perfectly understandable then. Anything else besides collar issues and hormones?

...Oof. That was...something,

Unfortunately no. I'm sorry to say we could barely find a trace of its existence after whatever went down at your old hall. Smithereens, as we say.

Nothing that you should be overly worried about, The usual differences from one culture to another.

Erm, Is that ...Apprentice alright?
*Subtly shifting to a position between the apprentice and any nearby wizards*

>>36772744
You're right, that was a terrible idea.
>>36772786
Seems a little.....mechanical. and ominous.

>>36772763
Damn. Ok, thanks for letting me know. Now if you don't mind, I'm going to say a little prayer to him
>>36772786
Oh thank goodness. I nearly clubbed you over the head

>>36772739
Huh? Sure. What's the big deal though? She's just a bit burny.

>>36772786
See, already over.
How was it, Samantha?

>>36772724
Well as long as we can get something big and nasty for her to blast at we should be fine... if not, then maybe.

>>36772740
Well it was a short-lived thing, they have their own guild these days.

>>36772786
Oh good, two for two, I was a bit worried there, how are you feeling?

>>36772786
Why would I even seem hostile?

>>36772786
You OK Sam? You give some of us a bit of a scare there.

>>36772495
The economy department deals with your own guild's and schools finances and where they are spent. The actual running of said schools falls to department heads and guild officials.

>>36772567
A few months might well be too late. At ten thousand GP per day, even thee months would leave many adventuring hubs ghost towns, and with all respect to the necromancy department, I do not mean that in any sort of good way.

>>36772600
Well, at least a few copper pieces are being salvaged from this mess.

>>36772637
Wicked and vile, though you may be, miss, when your enchanted broom's runes and spells simply come off in the rain, you'll fall faster than the economy.

>>36772854
Oh, well, in that case I no longer care.
Good luck though.

>>36772765
No offense but you're dressed even more skimpily than I do typically.
Barring transformations.

>>36772854
Ah, a magical trader. Would you like to do business with the Cult of Changing Tides? We will be able to provide you with raw magical materials.

>>36772854
What can I say, I read an economics book or two in my off time. Librarians gotta keep up to date with all their stuff. Say... you enjoy economics. Might I interest you in a new series we have received? It's about the wonders of economies based on dollars without fixed value while relying on things of random supply. Really interesting stuff about magic economies too!
