Sigmund enters the temple of the order and kneels in respect to those who have fallen before him, the simplest thing a man can do is Pray and yet it is also one of the most important. To support the church and in memorium of those fallen Sigmund donates his very sword and the remainder of his 80z. All he asks is for rest and absolution as well as a vial each of blessed water and blessed blood.


Also out of character, I was informed by multiple people that I could buy basic knight skills for 450z and so I bought Spin Slash, is this correct?

and finally:

Can I get clarification on this line?

>Certain actions found violating this will stay your hand unless reason sides with you.

>>45232704
>>45232372
>Jenny
I shall continue the tale of the town of Luxendarc and the great peril it was under. In deep dark depths of a cursed forest a dragon lay dying. A great evil in the form of a trio of giant pumpkins had seized his body and his power. To free his spirit we cut the vines that bound his form and with a great leap and a greater blow together with Dragon's Aid we lay the pumpkin asunder, only to reveal the head of Vidolfnir.

The ending of this tale is not my tale to tell.

>Livia
>>45232877
My Lady Jenny. I shall end this tale. The great dragon bid us to destroy his head and his eye so none undeserving could steal his power. With heavy heart I did as bid. Thus the town was saved.

Thus too ends the tale of Vidofinir. Luxendarc's protector. And begins the tale of Veritas, friend to the Wyrd Hunt and dragon reborn.

I have also claimed the Hammer Watch as well as prayed for the lost Goldenjoy

>Take Hammer Watch
>Place Goldenjoy's Shield and Mace in its place
>Pray for a soul who knew only greed, it cost him in life, it should not cost him in death.

Finally I claimed 5 kills worth of bounty. One of which was the first Deep Weasel which I slew with the help of many and scattered its limbs halfway across town..

" So you're a Knight of the order are you ? I had a resolution as stone once, but looking at it from this distance, you were as a statue "
You demanded the man identified himself for his insult. Your aura seemed to have shown itself then.
" Ah.. apologies young dragon.. I'm sure you needed time to grieve... you see before I made my decision to leave the order, I prayed in here many many times before after realizing that it had done nothing for me except to help me forget my son... ah yes, his sword layeth there, awaiting someone worthy to pick it up. I've seen it see, many men have tried to pilfer it some Paladin came through here too and was rebuffed. Then the bastard spit on it... imagine that. "

A voice echoed from the back of your mind, " The Sword of a young Lux Sworn, an heir to Vidofnir's blood found his demise in an act of foolhardy sacrifice. But a sacrifice nonetheless. You May Take it, and read from it it's Wielder's Memories "

Sigmund was slightly shocked at such blatant disrespect, especially from one such as a paladin, but his thought instantly turned towards the one he now hunted. The phrase young dragon confused him for a moment before he looked at the mentioned sword, he then turned back to the old man and spoke, "If it would not be too bold, may I have permission to see if the blade finds me worthy? If it would pain you then I shall refrain from doing so, I would not wish to offend the father of a fallen son by being presumptuous."

If the Wandering Father gives his permission Sigmund would reach out and grasp hold of the hilt of the blade, holding with a firm grip, resolute in his path.
>>
>>45244212

"Ah. That's very kind of you, but I seem to have my loan approved. I think I'll be okay now, thanks!"
>>
>>45244228
" Hrmmmm better you than that bastard. But.. go ahead I was no longer worthy of it, why should I bar someone else from being so ?"

He says the words with as little conviction as a leaf supporting a nut.
>>
>>45244362
"Do not claim to be unworthy, even if you can not fight you may still find worth in conviction, prayer, or simply by supporting those in need that you can help," Sigmund said softly to the man before turning to the sword and reaching out for the mentioned blade, grasping the hilt and pulling it away from it's resting place, resolute and willing to bare his soul to the spirit of the blade.

Mordenkainen approaches the Runner's Guild representative, curiously noting the line of bounty posters up on the wall.

"Excuse me, but I have a question about those bounty posters there. While in LuxenDarc, I encountered two mages with cracked masks. One was possessed by a Dark Weasel, the other carried a special tempatrium chalk that could destabilize terminus fields. I know not if these were Blood Mages, Void Mages, or Summoners, but I have the chalk as proof of the kill of one, and according to the Libra tis' a tool of the summoners that have resurfaced."

>Show Tempatrium Chalk as proof of kill

"Does this fulfill any outstanding bounties? I am unused to this kind of work, so I know not."

When business is concluded at the Runner's Guild, Mordenkainen will head to the Scholomance.

"It seems as though it is time to find a new book for myself; one cannot ruminate on the same texts forever. What better way to receive fresh knowledge, than to make it anew?"

>Combine Pyras Tome and Hydra Tome
>Purchase Red Compass (-800z)

(1/2)
>>
>>45243360
>>45244596
After this, Mordenkainen will visit the Order, to bring them the ill tidings of their former Deacon.

"Mine apologies, for I know of no gentle way to word this, but I believe there was once an individual called 'Deacon' in your service. I am afraid that while in LuxenDarc, it seems they have passed away due to unexplained circumstances. I found their head, rotten and riddled with plague deep in the catacombs beneath the city. Darker still, there is someone that has begun to masquerade as the recently deceased Deacon, no doubt for some nefarious purpose. There was also a Paladin named Sir Pogram, recently freed from his service to the dragon Vidofnir after it was slain, whom voluntarily chose to follow this false Deacon fully knowing that the Deacon of old lie dead. Other than myself, Militiaman Watchful, and Sir Pogram, I do not believe anyone yet knows of this treachery, but it may be prudent to warn those of your Order to tread carefully around this False Deacon."

>Mordenkainen is not a religious man, but he will offer up a [Prayer] for the recently deceased Deacon all the same.

With a pull the sword gave a clarion ring. And from it a deluge of memories flooded Sigmund.

Hey, there any of those Fleurettes left for an ugly mug? I figure I can move pretty quickly with that. Be a bit less of a burden on the little ladies with waving the sticks around.
>>
>>45245903

Both have been claimed but I may give mine to Rabbitspaw since he expressed interest earlier. I was interested in the mobility myself...
>>
>>45245940
Ah well. Par for the course. Guess I don't really deserve nothing special.

All I did last level was throw a bomb and then die and only reason I'm not shambling around those sewers moaning and groaning about the flesh o' the living still is thanks to some of the loveliest ladies around.

Now I'm all outta bombs and not a cent to my name to buy more. Not a good feeling my friend. Not a good feeling at all.

You'll get something eventually. I didn't get anything for two floors. And speaking of coin, there should be some bounty money coming soon, so you should be able to restock I think.

(What are the rules on overwatch and view range?)
>>
>>45246219
View range normally is 6 Spaces.

Your 'personal' view range, the range when you are able to do things like notice a lurking hunter, is a very specific range.

It's a cone of 3x3 and then 5x3 infront of you.

Overwatch. You choose a direction, and you hit anything in that cone (at last that's how I've noticed it) within attack range.
>>
>>45246219
Overwatch is simply scheduling an action to trigger on certain criteria. The most common use it to overwatch an attack action for enemy to come in range. But you can do it with other actions and other criteria as well.

That reminds me. Jackie, please make sure that Bubblewulf gets access to the Chain of Goya if they so chose.

>Chain of Goya (Lvl1,Attack+2,-1Mov,Range3 Arcing,)

Bubblewulf, it's powerful, but heavy. You'll be moving more slowly with it, but it can do everything that a normal hunter's chain can do, and it does it with blunt damage instead of piercing or slashing.

>Donate "Doppelganger Sacrificial Knife" to Ignyllian Order
>Clear thoughts and pray and remember fight in library.

Rabbitspaw was bad at praying. There was a lot and it was difficult to know exactly where to start.
"Rabbitspaw is a thief. Was a thief. Tried to find honest job as Courier, and ended up stealing-pilfering again. And then he was in a Scholomance library, and saw a Doppelganger-clone that turned into Rabbitspaw! Was looking at himself. Was looking at himself stealing books, wielding knives-blades for sacrificing people to dark-outer-blood-void.
Evil Rabbitspaw. Was trying to be courier, to be good person!
Only, am thinking, if 'Evil' Rabbitspaw steals books and stabs people and 'Good' Rabbitspaw staps people and steals books, is not any difference.
Rabbitspaw doesn't want to be evil-mean.
It isn't Right.

So joined Veritas-dragon. Now have Honest-Law-Truth voice in Rabbitspaws own head. Own soul. Is not smart idea. Is not clever-brilliant idea. Means no stealing or not too much stabbing and Rabbitspaw is confused. Lux Pacts are confusing.

But am thinking it is Right idea? Can try to be good Rabbitspaw, and succeed, and get help, and help other-different people be good.

Rabbitspaw will donate this Stabby Knife to Ignylly Saints - took it from his evil self. Evil knife. Then this knife rests here, and maybe someone finds a use for it. Maybe not. But maybe it becomes Good Knife, with good examples from relics-artefacts.
Maybe Rabbitspaw becomes good person, with example from Dragon-Sigmund-Watchful.
Will try. Don't know about Breaths or Laws or Dragon Magic. Don't know much about being Good Person either."
>>
>>45248177
Rabbitspaw, did you still want the Fleurette? I can give it to you if you'd like.
Also, I'm curious if it's possible to coax memories from the Sacrificial Knife to learn more about the Dopplegangers.
>>
>>45248294
No, is okay Missus Meave. Is beautiful sword for beautiful person, and is Fair. You asked First and Rabbitspaw thinks that is good plan, to be fast-speedy-lightning mage.

You keep-hold it. Same as Kail.

Rabbitspaws Courier Clothes already make him fast, and is getting better with all this stair climbing.

Fullbeard listened, with eyes wide, his mouth clapped shit. His fists tightened and at the crest of Jenny's tale he smashes the stone table in two. He knew the ending of the tale but still he bawled. That Vidofnir's head was bashed asunder and that all what remained of him were his eyes and the spirit of his form. He called the rest of the Tavern to silence.

" To VidofnYrr ! Lux sworn and noble to his last breath ! "

" AEIOU! AEIOU ! AEIOU ! "

Mugs clapped in climbing crescendo as a song of Heroes was sang from a low solemn tone to a risng roar.

" A glass to the Avengers of Vidofnirr, Heroes Three, Livia the Sharp, Hetros the Judge, and Jenny the Deliverance ! " Roared Fullbeard.

" And Volga bless that man with the Chigago" Yelled an infantryman.

The bar was packed surely. Tales of a Town attack had not flooded this floor in a while, and yet people had stayed to hear of the Events in Luxendarc and how the PumpkinFaery celebrations had gone sour.

Okay. Look, you grew up in a town Sigmund, or at least I assume you have.

You weren't born running. You didn't watch your town get devoured. You didn't see friends you had grown up with, or settled down with, be torn to shreds when the Terminus Crystal finally gave out.

Or maybe you did? And it just cracked you.

You can't -fight- that. It's a force of nature. You don't fight a tornado or a hurricane. You get the fuck out of the way, and go back to what's left after if there is anything!

Lvl 5. The Thousand Arms.
[Legendary Fake]
Hidden Skill:
Open Book: Knowing the Name of a weapon allows you to transform this book to that weapon.. However the weapon's level must be 5 or below and the Hunter must be capable of using it lest you gain a "FALSE" version.

Page Turn: You may turn the page to a new weapon as a tap action once per turn.

Close Book: The Thousand Arms becomes a book once more.

Jubilant Jill is besides herself.

>>45247331
Well up and down aren't the only 2 directions.

We only go up to the next floor, to the next world.
But maybe theres something out there. Outside the tower. A piece of the world forgotten by the Malebogia.

" Ah.... well I guess that's it for that weapon. You got anything else ?"

The extra act decided things for me. Even if I do get more squishy because of it. HOWEVER!

I think what I'm gonna do is go full shinobi and carry around multiple masks at time. For sneaking around the extra act is invaluable with 'act on discovery.' So the mothman is going to be my default. However in protracted battles? Definitely switch to KATA. Also more pocket room.

Alright Rabbitspaw, I know you already said no, but please, hear me out, okay ?

I can't really use this Fleurette as much as it deserves right now. You however, can.

So I want to entrust it to you for now. Is that okay ? Think of it as a way to make me feel better about myself. And if you ever find something better, or you just stop having a use for it, you just give it back to me.

"Runner! Look ! A letter from Floriane"

" Hello, friends, Runner, Questi. As you know this is my final letter to you as Florian Faerune, you see the decision for Vidofnir to meld with a physical vessel had been coming for sometime now. His designs for having a scholomance was to teach a bright student and one that possessed much empathy and conviction to house his will. Little did he know that an immortal such as my self graced his halls and littler still that I would be more than a mere vessel. But still, my quiddity will take on a change and Floriane will I no longer be. While you have ascended the stairs but mere hours ago, hundreds of turns had already passed in Luxendarc, and many Pumpkin Faeries were celebrated without incident. The residents here have grown as well, Cracky increases his renown as a WunderMaker, and Aya has kept a close watch for our enemies, but it has not stopped her from starting a family, and going on a Journey herself. Even the Sword Princess has set off on an adventure barely days after your departure knowing that your knights will charge the fore.

But I write this letter to give another important message. In your hands is a book of my notes, I would have you use it to pursue a truth that I no longer can as Vidofnir's vessel. As Veritas. You see, long ago during an Age of Antiquity, I was a walker of the night, a Midian. I remember Avalon and I remember its dusks and dawns and I remember the day those Stairs Appeared on our land and the Malebolgia bending our horizon like so. It has been a long-sworn belief that the Malebolgia originated in Avalon granting the Order much Ire against mages. But I submit to you, dear friends, that this truth is just as unverified as the beginning of the universe. With that, you may go on with life ignoring the words that I have held fast on for the entirety of my life. Or you may choose to seek the unreachable.
>>
>>45251126
Spiffy-shiny. That's some fantastic stuff-stock items! And thank you for clearing out the Ruinous Curses Mr. Runner. Is nice not to be cursed.
The Navigator Cloak looks like a dragon. Is lovely. Best Dragon is still Veritas.

>>45251315
Who sends letters! Did she write hello to Rabbitspaw, no that is unlikely-improbable, sorry for asking. Letters from hundreds of Pumpkins in the pas-- aw. Aw. Rabbitspaws head hurts again. Saw Veritas hours ago.

Wait-wait. Florian's Notes? Rabbitspaw got-took-loaned those from the Scholomance! And look-look:

>>45248904
>>45249165
Other notes from other places! Is a clue-hint-direction. Other soul finding same path. Going wrong or right way.
Is plot-plan-scheme. Option!

Rabbitspaw has this other book, book about ancient-ancient old floors (100s!) the Mal ate. Encyclopedii Chronos. Floors from Age of Antiquity! Maybe about Avalon?

>Transfer Encyclopedii Chronos to Jackie

"I. Runic and its Roots"
Rudimentary magick written and and absolute derived its uses from applications in Absolute Law. A time in which reality itself had been subject to a written language made malleable by the will of the Spiral. Defined and recorded by ancient Avalonians, these Runes were given shape and power such that aether-touched individuals may use them. In its height, runes proliferated in diversity and use until the will of the First Dragon decreed that its use be sealed away and only appointed creatures would be allowed its use. It would not be until the first kings had defeated this dragon that their use resumed and Runic would continue again in this current form for all time under the rule of men while Dragons, Faeborne, Outsiders, and the Celestials would make away with its specific set of uses . . .

" Fish swim, and do not question it, Birds fly and are probably on the 100th floor by now, people however Question, and they will continue to do so until the end of time. But Me ? "

A figment appears before Rabbitspaw, a spitting image of himself.

" I am more sure of myself than even you. Are you even sure it wasn't you that got away from that library after sneaking up behind a doppelganger ? Are you sure you're not a doppelganger just doing his job extremely well ?? The figment's face goes white and hollow hands reaching towards Rabbit's Paw" You look down and find that your hands begin to whiten and soften in turn until -

" ENOUGH !" Boomed a voice, and the Figure leaves.

You turn back and spy a white dove perched above a statue. " Many people come here clouded by the ghosts of their past but there are those whose future is equally clouded," said the dove as it hopped towards Rabbitspaw with its little cane, " Rare is it for those who are Sworn of the Lux Dragon to question themselves and their methods, does a dagger question itself ? Does a sword ? Nay, they are about as resolute as the wielder can ever be, and you my friend do not seem fit to even carry knives. Do you hate them so ? Is there perhaps a past that you are wanting to run away from hmmm ? "

Behind the statue where the dove stood, a boy poked it's head out searching for safety-

" FOCUS YOUNG ROGUE ! Your Mind Wanders and it was of the Past. Remember you that day in the fields where many had run from the shadow of the Mal and many houses were ripe for the picking. You were there- but were told to forget about it. Ah yes, but the inquisitor-Jailer-whatsit that spoke this fast and re-taught you the values of human polity without regard to the damage of your soul.

"No! Rabbit is *Rabbit*, not doppelgange"
Rabbitspaw shook his head, shook his hands, anything to brush of the creeping insinuation that something had stolen him away like so many books from a beseiged library. And then it stopped. And he was still himself, and the Dove kept speaking. Came to a panicked halt. Just a figment and a bird and the ghosts of the past. A little running boy. Collapsing horizon, stairs, fear.

"Rabbitspaw is not a boat-vessel-wavetossed-wreck. Dove-speaker is right. Is the Truth. Rabbitspaw was worried-scared-terrified and didn't know what to do or where to go. So stealing-lying-grifting was easy. Is simple. Just take and stab and filch and not worry about what others do-think-feel because have your own." The young rogue took a moment to catch his breath, adjusted his courier's uniform. Ran a slightly shaky hand along the sleeve with a trace of pride.
"Rabbitspaw has honest job now. And is sworn to Veritas. And Rabbitspaw is not a boat. Is not a boy-runaway-child.
Is. Not. Evil.
Mr. Castley-Jackie and Veritas gave Rabbitspaw a second chance, and maybe-possibly Rabbitspaw has doubt and questions and worries, but Evil-Rabbitspaw-Doppelganger will be wrong! Is wrong! Rabbitspaw is not sure of himself, but is sure of Veritas. Is sure of Fairness. Maybe Rabbit not so good at believing in himself, maybe little scared still.

But Rabbitspaw is sure of great big ancient laws of niceness and fairness and goodness, and sure of Veritas, and sure of stopping Ouroborous and sure-certain-affirmed of being greatest Lux Sworn Rabbit Knight.
Ever!
Thank your Mr. Dove. And thank you"
Rabbitsturned around and addressed an empty patch of air.
"Mr. Doppelganger. You are Wrong. Rabbitspaw will find you and say this to your face." His hands wasn't shaking any more. Rabbitspaw nodded again.
"Is better than a current-tossed boat. Is better than past-Self."

After this, Mordenkainen will visit the Order, to bring them the ill tidings of their former Deacon.

"Mine apologies, for I know of no gentle way to word this, but I believe there was once an individual called 'Deacon' in your service. I am afraid that while in LuxenDarc, it seems they have passed away due to unexplained circumstances. I found their head, rotten and riddled with plague deep in the catacombs beneath the city. Darker still, there is someone that has begun to masquerade as the recently deceased Deacon, no doubt for some nefarious purpose. There was also a Paladin named Sir Pogram, recently freed from his service to the dragon Vidofnir after it was slain, whom voluntarily chose to follow this false Deacon fully knowing that the Deacon of old lie dead. Other than myself, Militiaman Watchful, and Sir Pogram, I do not believe anyone yet knows of this treachery, but it may be prudent to warn those of your Order to tread carefully around this False Deacon."

I am sorry if such a request is boring. A shield is often all that stands between a warrior and death so perhaps you can understand why one seeks to make that shield better.

Our bounty is now cleared up. We have 25 000 zenni to share with everyone who participated on floor 4. By my count we had around 30-31 people show up throughout the floor. This means that everyone gets to claim 830 zenni.

I like even numbers

Any portion that remains unclaimed will go into the Death Fund for Deceased Runners.

Please link this post and state you are claiming your portion of the bounty. Again you must have participated on floor 4.

Rabbitspaw was going to-intended to break-shatter it and give one to Watcful and one to Sigmund and one to Rabbitspaw to borrow Jills-pumpkin-pot. Is Lux-light thing. But Rabbitspaw sees now that Watchful already has own Lux-light armor and Siggismundy has gotten his metal curiass-breastplate all wet.

Yes-yes. Rabbitspaw did say that. Speaking of, Rabbitspaw has thing to do.

Am thinking this is best idea. Rabbitspaw is from Luxendarc.

Can Misses Jill combine this Stinger with Light, so Rabbitspaw can avoid hurting-harming people?
>Fuse Stinger (lvl 2, Non-Lethal, Piercing, +1 Mov, +2 Atk) and Lux Shard

And this Fleurette with this Darc Shard so Rabbitspaw can hurt-harm-negate those who need to be hurt?

So now Rabbitspaw has Lux-and-Darc.
He would also like to ask about Cobra's Promise, is Poison Knife.

This is most shiny beautiful knife ever and okay. Is more than welcome to use-wield-hand it. Is not for killing people though, so perhaps be careful.

The only thing we know is that they showed up on a desert floor a while back with a Dragon called [Jorman-something] and wiped the floor with 3 armies that were assembled there, I assume those are the 'aggressive' members they were talking about.

The only other thing was that everyone who tried to investigate them was never seen again, so you know, no pressure.

" I understand, then. Your dubious reputation is also mixed with the hearsay that you are heroes of among a few people... and the Runner's Guild, bless Fullbeard's soul, still recognizes you in favorable light. It would also seem that you have taken out a few outsiders as well.

Anyways, watch your step, down here in the underside, there is scarce a bottom, indeed it can be said that the Malebolgia maybe stilled in this realm, but it is not without depth and darkness. I must warn you, that because this place is considered outside the light of Runner law, there are many characters who have decided to take up shop down here, Meat Traders, Slave Handlers... WItches. There is no law here but that of Iron and determination. And even with the Presence of House M, we are still monsters- Varelsian and foreign to each other, due to our construction of Aether and need to feed on sentients...

"Only just arrived, and we've already a gray sort of notoriety about us. With luck, that may spare us the attentions of the more sinister denizens."

Mordenkainen will turn his attention to the gatekeepers, noting the Dulahan and nodding approvingly.

"As for how to stop the Mal? It seems nothing. I have many theories and ideas on how one might do so, but there is little to no research available in that field. This would indicate that nobody is working on it, that those that are choose not to share their findings, or that any such records are being destroyed by a third party.

" So the humans who made it " crooned the Unling, "As I understand it , you have been key in stopping one of our own from starting a full blown War with Monsters and Humans. Vidofnir has fallen, this was no accident. In fact it should have been impossible. As one of the few Elder Dragons to work directly with Humans he was instrumental in furhtering relations between more non-human races of Avalon and the rest of the upper floors but alas, this attack will be seen as an aggression on our parts. You seem surprised, Summoner ? Aye well let me explain... "

Oh. Velen beats Rabbitspaw to it.

Rabbitspaw am thinking Monstresso-monsters thinking of other idea. Mal is slow here. And Doppelganger-Rabbitspaw shouted "Humans must be isolated".
The Mal-Collapse eats floors. Eats people. But Monsters eat people too. Eat sentience and Aether.

Maybe connection-link. Maybe not. Maybe wonder why Monsters hate-dislike Outsiders and likes them dead-killed.

" You see, Vidofnir is a close ally to House M, as well as the Runner's Guild. It was his belief that a perfect world had once existed where creatures of the Thresh and Humans from beyond the Wall, coexisted in harmony.
As I am but a mere Unling that has read the books from your forgotten libraries, I have yet to witness it, but I believe in it. However others here did not share the same passion as we who read those Books such as Vidofnirr and I.
Indeed there were those would insisted on carrying a grudge that the humans would freely give us. Take for example, Doppio, a prince of a certain slime race, hunted to near extinction to the point of scaring his people to never reveal themselves ever again. And that's not all, he works with a Summoner, said to be the last of his line after facing an equally horrifying bloodhunt for his people. These two would join hands with Jormungand, and some of our more extreme followers to spearhead a pre-emptive assault on the first and last war between Man and Monster, "

Redcap takes a cigar and lights it with a fire coming from his thumb.
" You have see the outside yes ? The shops ? The people traders ? You must have thought to hate us with all your might right then Hm ? Well guess what, if there is indeed a war between Man and Monster, and if both sides are indeed possessed to fight the other to extinction, then you can see what the result would be if either side won. Humans win ? Magic may cease to be, and no Stairs may rescue you should the mal decide to eat your corner of the Universe. Monsters Win ? then humanity will be raised like stock to be eaten and torn apart just like your Sunbirds and Moleswines. Now.. if you'd rather FIGHT for us, well that is definitely something we can arrange but I would rather ask you. What is the Wyrd Hunt willing to do for Us ? "
>>
>>45257957
"I'm sorry, what's a Sunbird? And a Moleswine? Are these creatures raised for food? I've heard of them, but I've never seen such a thing. My world was...unusual."

"That Crocodile man is giving me an odd look boss."

"Blimey I came down to find out about a bunch of terrorists and turns out it's the attempted first shots of a war that hasn't started yet. But if the people who are behind this growing mess are the same people Veritas told us to look for, then should it be a good idea that we stop this from exploding into all out war?"

"I don't fancy fighting Monsters for the rest of my life, it was bad enough with that whole Kobold business."
>>
>>45257957
I am willing to help the House of M stop this coming war. To be agents against the more radical of your members, such as that doppleganger. To prevent civil war from shattering your guild and dissolving the last chance of peaceful coexistance we will be there to blame instead of your own.

However you are right. The people traders have my hate. Slave taking is one of the sins I cannot forgive. The meat shops I can understand. But those? I am extremely tempted to remove them from existence. Indeed it takes everything I have not to unleash my magic and my friends upon them.

>However you are right. The people traders have my hate. Slave taking is one of the sins I cannot forgive. The meat shops I can understand. But those? I am extremely tempted to remove them from existence. Indeed it takes everything I have not to unleash my magic and my friends upon them.
"Some of us don't have the luxury of hatred. As I've said boss, my one goal is reuniting with my family, and paying off debts that saved them."

He shrugs, "Also, as a hunter, I can tell you... without a place to FARM the livestock, to store them, you are at risk of starving. The meat shops and the slave pens go together. Hunting is dangerous business, especially hunting sapients." He turns his eyes back to the Red Cap, even as he continues speaking to Jackie, "I've hunted sapients before... it's never fun, it's always preferable to hunt beasts. When you have to live off of sapient meat and blood and bone... well... I imagine 'farming'" his voice is utterly dead as he says the word "becomes even more important..."

He nods, "I'm willing to be the deniable asset for the House of M if it means protecting the balance."
>>
Gotta say, Rabbitspaw is with the Boss.
Property, agreements, work, possession, truth, fairness is all good. Slave-trading-people-sale is a mark against the first rule-law. Is not so good.

But so is war-fighting and end of all humans. Rabbitspaw is human! (He thinks). Would rather we work together and stop the Ouroboring. Ouroberous. Erebus. Doppie and the Summoner.
But is not fight For them. Is fight with them. Allies, yes-yes? Common cause is peace, happiness, fairness, prosperity. Law. Not servants doing bidding of monster-masters, not patsies-catspaws.

Allies. Fairness without exclusion. Can co-exist, is not impossible. Just always hard-difficult.

"Meat is Meat. The Second Principle. Destroying the slave traders would not accomplish anything aside from fear and hatred. More would replace them. The Engine Must Run. If you would eradicate the trade entirely, you must alter the workings which require its existence. It is not so simple as murdering a handful of slave traders."

" Oho and here I thought you knew how to care for your more pekish members. I see in your group a few Ghouls, and one even hosting a Demon. Even we are wary of demons, but we manage what with our reputation for "manger avec nos companions" Montressor crushes the Cigar against a skull bowl.

" But good, heartened I am in my short life to hear that you are willing to cooperate." He slides Jackie a felt bag jingling with gold plated teeth. " Payment," He grins, " Gold extracted from skyrates, and certain members of a certain Pest Control group, it's worth /months/ to a town which for you must equate to a lot of Zenny no ?" Redcap crosses his massive table , his collection of heads glimmering and shadowing at his presence, " Now I know you're not fond of this place but as special ambassador of House M, I can in fact Grant you special protections to access this town and our shops. But only your people - you bring anyone else and those protections are instantly gone. Rules around here is to play nice- but if you gotta punch back then you may as well kill them cause these kids play keeps. We deal in special wares once in a while and the Black market here is a great place to look for void drift salvage.

And then there's me, I can find you any kind of talent you need, but for a price yeah ? These monsters maybe loyal minions to the once Overlord, but they won't just bow down to anybody, need a Dulahan bodyguard let me help you get ahead, Kyahahahaha. How about an Ordonian escort or two- I'm sure there some at the holds waiting to /work/ for a human yeah ? Think on it, don't leave these ambitious kids hanging ! We work hard for our meals too ! "

> You gain 3,000 Zenny.
> You now have Access to the UnderStairs.

Rabbitspaw did just say that. Slavery is not so good. Meat trade is not so good.

War is not so good.

If we need the first two-bits to stop the third-bit bit by bit until we find a way to also stop them, bit-by-bit-by-bit then is not good, but is okay. Is neccesary unbiased truth.

Rabbitspaw doesn't want to destroy any engine or murder anybody-person. And even monster-men need to eat, so must get their flesh-food-snacks. Say "no-no, is bad for you to eat!" and they all starve-die because Rabbit thinks their food-edibles are icky.

That seems unfair. People-eaters are people too.

"Well now, it seems we have now officially been in contact with most of the major players in this current age, barring the Clinic but they are super small I've heard."

Yes,rabbit is right, differences are merely differences, don't the underpeople have feelings, hopes and dreams? Violence breeds only more violence and is not the not the answer.

We will always differences and grudges but neither of us have to shade the blood of the other if we can just leave each other other.

Jackie what do you suppose we do with the money, should we spend it now that we have the unique opportunity to gain... "exotic" wares?
>>
>>45259238
"Fair enough."
>>
>>45257957
>>45258249
Mordenkainen shrugs.

"I'd rather fight and die on a battlefield than wait for my death in ignorance, truth be told. However, I believe that is exactly why we are here; we wish not to simply wait for our death beneath a crumbling terminus field. We want to do something, anything that might break the stalemate forcing this dismal state of affairs."

"As for what we can offer? This is simple. You've stated already that you've lost your primary go-between for interfacing with human society. Without something to serve this purpose, you lose access to a wealth of knowledge, services, industry, and resources. These thing will remain in the hands of those who would see you dead and broken, and will waste little time in bringing these tools to bear against you when your misguided brothers move against them."

"Even if war comes, and you manage to best us, will it really be so simple? Will you even be in a position to worry about the fate of your enemies? How much of your civilization will survive amongst the ashes of your fallen? How long will your people be able to exist, to speak nothing of rebuilding? How many of you will remain to stand against the Mal and its servants?"

"It's not just your side, the same is true for ours. What we offer you is an alternative to mutually assured destruction. With your dragon gone, there is little else to stand in its way. Though no doubt a learning experience, I wish not to witness the death of civilization."

I think I'll save the money I just got for something that will help the group in its entirety. There is no point in splitting such a small amount.

No problem man. Game generally runs in 15-30 minute turns (or longer during 'slow processing'), and tends to be about 20-30 turn games over the course of 2-3 weeks (last floor was kinda an oddity because it was nearly 6 times the size of any other floor we'd done and we took a 1.5-2 month break in the middle)

what are Ordonians?
>>
>>45259944

"Vampires? I mean I know that they exist but I thought they crumbled to dust in daylight. I guess I must be wrong, and probably wrong about the garlic, holy water and religious symbols too. I'm new to this monsters thing i'm sorry."

"Gatormen? I've heard about them, they used to dwell in swamps and hunt humans that wandered into them, vicious buggers the lot of them but at the very least trustworthy enough to not stab you in the back once you've hired them. Might be a good chuck, we're a bit lacking in the front line beef department"

"Not sure what an Ordonian is though, Redcap can you shed some light on this?"

Ooh, double-curious. Rabbitspaw votes for the Unknown! Let's hire Orphans. We can teach them fighting and Laws and Dragons and Magic and Friendship and Shooting and Burkhard has good gun instructions and Rabbitspaw is great at teaching twenty-three ways to escape from different knots-holds-chains.
Please bossman can we?

Also, Mr. Monster-Person-Sir-Ma'am?

Who is Doppie? Is prince of Slime race, but seems hell-bent on havoc-harm-chaos. Rabbitt met them. Can you tell us anything?

"When I was young, I used to think the House of M stood for House of Mages. Just a big old group setting fire to things, throwing lightning, setting blocks between doors, and just plain causing chaos under the banner of further learning."

"I am eternally grateful I was wrong."

Bubblewulf takes a cursory glance toward the midian posting, curious as to how a midian walks in day and how it might relate to paladin blood.

No Prices for these ones, in fact if you're willing to do them the service of ascending with you next floor /we/ will even contract them to you through FullBeard.

>The Ordonian Orphans x3 have been hired.

Runner:
Hmmmm The Ordonians seem to be in good health, but this is probably the first time they've associated with humans... " Tell me, what do you know ?"

Orin: Ah UHHH I know- How to Fight ! And Gather Acorns and and Uh Fish ! "

Runner: Humm.. it seems their body is sturdy enough , 1 boy.. 2 girls, Their health is quite hearty for having lived underground, And their sight and smell is quite good. But it seems they're about as new as an illiterate mage. Jackie, If we get them registered in the Runner's Guild I would feel much better assigning one of each of them to one of our own. I bet they will learn the trade very fast being young and all.

Oh and that Karkadyne... he doesnt seem to understand our language, but it seems the children do. I would suggest attaching him to a suitable squad leader. "

"If you like Jackie, I'll take one of the Ordoians with me, I'm often in a support role these days, so they'll be able to learn the trade in a safe manner." He looks down at the kids, "But it might be better to assign them a mid line role? With the Militia perhaps?"

I'l take care of the kids and krokman. We shall become buddies. Rabbitspaw and I are the best examples of human behavior

Mordenkainen smirks.

"I wonder if the situation with the doppelganger who murdered and replaced Deacon of the Order was something a long time in the making, then. Perhaps revenge for a deal gone sour."

Mordenkainen looks at the advertisement the Daytime Midian placed, and thinks.

"If and when we encounter the false Deacon, it is likely that Pogram will stand in our way. He seems to have no problem with following him despite knowing the truth of what he is. Offering Pogram to the Midian improves our relationship with the House of M and removes a problem of ours, but it also might sour our relationship with the Order; it depends on if they view Pograms compliance with the false Deacon as traitorous or not. I leave the decision to others, but I personally feel this is an ideal opportunity."

>Rules question:
>If I'm lurking and one of the kids is with me, will they be lurking too?

Hummm All three of them as Hunters ? It could work with that many hands after all.

>>45260913
Yay! Pups-and-crocs! Aww, they're so cute-adorable-scaley.

>>45260988
Is true. Ziegfried is example of Honesty and Courage and Focus and Determination and Always Finishing Your Plate and being Hardy!

Rabbitspaw is great example of not being the lifepath of best choice. So that way, they can learn not do all the things Rabbitspaw has done! But see, Rabbitspaw will teach them to skulk-stealth-crawl-smell and also Dragon Laws. And Ziegfried can teach them all about human interaction and good table manners.

Is brilliant-smart-clever.

"No, just, no. Maybe the Gator."

"W-wait hold on before you entrust me with kids! Would they start with any skills? Where am I going to get more guns from?"

"I did sort of donate my spares to the Order shrine"
>>
>>45261027
"Apprenticed to me, Livia, and perhaps Jenny? Our trio seems to work well together, but Jenny is often in the thick of the fighting... If they really want to be together on the battlefield, we need to make sure their mentors remain close together throughout the fight."

>>45261070
So standing the fuck out but never targeted directly? AKA: Last of Us?

>>45261093
"Well we best ask them what they want to do. No point in apprenticing them to something they hate doing right? I'm just laying out options."
>>
>>45261093
One of them could come with me, while you people are nice and all and highly skilled, I think some of these children should learn facts about the greater possibilities they could bring back to their own group. Alchemy and magic.
>>
>>45261093
But Ziegfried is Monster-Man. And they are Monster-Kids who will grow up into Monster-Men. And Rabbitspaw is Half Dragon-Person. Sort of human? Is hard to explain.

Is best-smartest clever idea. Teach them knives-fighting-stabbing-talking.
>>
>>45261221
"I think that they could benefit with any of us... and living down here they've probably already been traumatized by ghoulish feeding, so yeah."
>>
Given how the Croc needs an interpreter I'm going to assign one of the Orodnian to myself to act as such. Who knows? Maybe they will enjoy the mysteries of magic.

I'll even give them my Book of Iron for the next Floor.

Hetros can direct the second.

Perhaps one of our knights would like to direct the third?
>>
>>45261258
I will take the third.

"As much as I think it would be nice to teach one of them to handle a blade and shield, I think teaching one of them to handle the rod and ley is more important. A Hunter, a Mage, and a Guide will find work with ANY group, even if they decide to leave us. And a Guide will keep them alive through anything and everything. If none of them want to learn to be a hunter though, let the second go to Sigmund."

"I am game. Walking in the daylight means they are either a weird mutation or they has taken way too many lux skills and survived. Either or means helpful ally."

"and bringing the munchkins along lets them see our tasks does it not, as well as allowing them to see what is at stake"
>>
Rabbitspaw has question.
What if... what if we ask the Orphans what they would like to learn-be taught?
They do speak, and they are people.
Is only Fair.
Can't make them enter into an agreement without their Consent.
>>
>>45261405
By all means if the young ones do not wish to learn a particular class then they should speak up before we decide such a thing without their input.
