Votes:

Votes are counted until 25 minutes have passed. This rule doesn't apply to the last reply of the day.
Votes that require a dice roll are counted until 15 minutes have passed, so we can speed up the process. Rolls are counted until 10 minutes have passed, so be prepared!

(NEW) Dice Mechanic:

We always roll 1d100s!
Since most people weren’t happy with the system of averaging top four rolls, we’re using best of 2/3/4 depending on the attribute a prompt requires. If Johnny is a genius and it’s a Knowledge based roll, he gets more rolls (Max. 7)! If he sucks, he gets less dice (Min. 2)!

When asked for rolls, I will specify how many you’re going to get. Rolling begins after it’s asked.

Rolling 100 is a critical and ignores all other rolls! In the same vein, rolling 1 means a critical failure (only for Very Hard rolls and above).

The difficulty of the roll is tied with the effectiveness of the action. In other words, the harder the option the better the result!

Don’t forget that at the end of the day, this is a story-driven quest! What the prompts are describing is more important than the difficulty of the rolls, for results in a fight.

Again, rolls are only counted when they are posted within ten minutes of being asked, so watch out!

It’s better to stay invisible and wait for the Chancellor to get here. You still have no idea what they are going to do with the truck and leaving those questions unanswered would be unwise. You just hope you aren’t overrating abilities and we’ll be able to save Holly and everyone inside the truck after all this is over.

While your mental ramblings continues, the discussion amongst the cultist intensifies.

“You don’t need to see anything.” The cruelest of the four grabs the big one before he can peek.
“T-Then you admit this is messed up!” The smallest one won’t let it go.

“Of course it’s messed up, we’re a doomsday cult! We do messed up shit! Is there any other reason to be here if you aren’t capable of doing anything for our goal?!” The cruel man is not having a great time.
“I’m not here for this, that’s for sure!” The smallest one barks back. “I have standards.”

“Well, you can wish for the end of the world peacefully. The autonomy of the mind is part of our teachings. So this kind of activities are rather revolting and against everything we know.” The chinless man gives his own reasoning.
“I’m here for the free YUNG-P concerts!” The big one smiles like an innocent child having fun.

“I-It doesn’t’ matter now, we have an intruder here!” The real cultist looks pissed. “Or are you going to leave now that you know the truth?”
“Well, I…” Small cultist loses his part of his bravado.

“Hold on, the whole cult is just a slave trade façade?” Chinless man doesn’t look one bit happy.
“I’m sure if we show YUNG-P what’s happening she’ll put a stop to it. I don’t think she would approve of child trafficking.” The big man nods to himself.

“No, it’s not a façade! We really want the end of the world! And it’s not a child trafficking operation either! And that’s not the point!” The cruel cultist facepalms.
“Wait, I thought we wanted to rebuild the world, not to actually destroy it!” The smallest cultist is losing more hope the more the conversation goes.

“I believe he’s saying it figuratively.” The chinless man corrects the small one.
“Hold your thoughts for a second. Why are we assuming they are slaves of some kind?! Did one superior inform you about what we were bringing here?”

The three other men shake their head.

“There we go. We have no reason to believe more than what we are seeing! Maybe these aren’t sex slaves and are an important part of our scheme, and if we do anything rash – we’ll ruin our chances to destroy the world. We’re a cult, god damn it. We’re supposed to follow orders blindly.” The cruel man has said enough is enough.
“Blindly? Who does that? That’s stupid. There is always a logic behind this, and frankly, I’m troubled seeing how sex slaves can help our cause.” The chinless man disagrees. You need to give them nicknames because this is getting confusing to follow.

“That’s without mentioning how fucked up this is.” The manlet points out.
“Guys… Let’s forget about the moral and practical benefits of what we’re doing for a second and try to track down the intruder who’s here!” The evil cultist has had enough.

“I haven’t taken a look, but maybe it was one of the children inside the truck.” The big man points out.
“Again they are not children, just sex slaves.” The chinless man corrects him. “He may have a point, we should investigate inside.”

“Get in there then. The other two search around, and be careful.” The cruel cultist and the chinless man go inside the truck.
“Fine. But this conversation ain’t over...” Manlet agrees in the end and walks away. The big man starts looking around for you at the other extreme of the workshop. The closest in proximity is the small one who supposedly has a flame.

Once they are busy searching, the manlet one starts loudly whispering…

“Hey, is there somebody there…? Can you hear me…?” The small guy looks unease, he doesn’t want the others to hear what he’s saying. But why is he talking to you?

What do you do?

You get closer to him as carefully as humanly possible, even though you’re wary of him, you whisper to him.

“Yeah, I can hear you.” You say after blowing some air over his shoulder.
“Gah…!” The cultist almost falls from the shock. “W-Where are you…?” He whispers as he turns his head around looking for you.

“How did you know?”
“I didn’t know that I knew.” He whispers back. Did he just guess you were around?! “Oh my faithless world, I didn’t think I would’ve gotten this far…”

“…” You don’t know what to say.
“I can feel your disappointment, it feels… homely.” The cultist whispers way too loudly now. “Tell me you’re here to stop this… I can help... wherever you are, friend.” He starts looking around.

“Hey, did you find something?” The big YUNG-P fan asks from the other side of the building.
“N-No! I’m just… complaining loudly to myself like everyone else does.” He pretends to laughs.

“Everyone does that? Maybe you need a vacation, friend!” The big man smiles.
“Perhaps I do. But either way, let’s get back to work!” The manlet starts laughing. “Shit, how did I miss that guy…?” He forgot about you for a second there.

What do you do?

“Meet me at the abandoned office. We’ll talk there.” You inform the little lad as you silently start walking away.
“Cool…” He just nods to himself. “I mean yes, I’ll be there...” He looks both relieved and nervous, has to be a feat of sorts – it’s not like you’ve never felt like that, better not to indulge in those thoughts.

Like your own narration said, you walk back to the abandoned office room where you first came from. The cultist was trailing behind you without noticing, and judging by the look of his face – he’s probably wondering what you are going to say and how the situation is going to unfold.

You two past right next to the tall cultist, he couldn’t give less of a fuck about the other guy being over there – despite that, the manlet tells him he’s going to check up the old office to see if the intruder is there. The tall guy smiles and asks him to be careful as you sometimes never know what you’re dealing with. Poor guy didn’t like that response, but he went ahead to your meeting anyhow.

Inside the office (can you even say it’s helpful to be here if the door is on the ground?), you welcome him once again while keeping your voice low. As something important to notice, your head is starting to bother you a little bit…

“H-Here goes nothing… I’m h-here, just like you asked me to.” The guy raises his arms like he's surrendering. “Look, if you’re trying to stop this, I’m on your side.”
“Keep your voice down. We don’t have the door here.”
“R-Right…” He starts whispering. He’s trying to follow the sound of your voice but he’s looking at the wrong way, you’re not making it easy for him as you are walking around. “….”

“….”
“….” He looks around. “Did you leave?”

“No.”
“Should I say something? Name’s Xavier. Everyone calls me Xavi. Hehe…” He looks so awfully uncomfortable that it's not even funny.

You’re not even sure why you have this guy here.

“Tell me what the deal here is and how you’re involved.” You demand answers! And answers with information!
“You see, I’m a cleric, it’s a rank above your regular zealot. And I’m not too fond of being a cleric, if I’m honest. This is a mission of trust, if you pass a bunch of them you go up the ladder – all we were told is that we needed to bring this truck here from Pleasure-Ville, then someone would show us a secret entrance to our real destination, whatever that might be. That’s it. They are mission of trust for a reason...” Xavi explains.

“And now you have conflicted feelings? You do realize they actually want to destroy the world, right?” It’s hard for you to believe this guy could be this naïve. Maybe if it was the big guy but not Mr. Manlet.
“You were listening to our drivel over there, right? I really thought they wanted to reform society as we know it. You know, same deal when you read the real meaning of the word ‘apocalypses’. You know that, right? Like it’s the end of the world as we know it, not the end of the world by exploding or something. Look it up.” Xavi likes to talk a lot while nervous.

“Do you really have a flame?”
“Yeah… but it’s… complicated…” Xavi sits on a dusty chair, he lifts his leg and under his feet there is a puny flame… It’s so small that it’s hard for you to detect it. He just stares at it for a couple of seconds. “It’s… small. I know people can’t see ‘em, but you have to believe me…”

“I thought having such ability would make you a Chancellor.” I mean that old guy Hubbard didn’t even have one and he was a Chancellor! “Why don’t you invoke your partner and show me?”
“...Errr… Here it is…” Xavi calls his partner to action. It’s like… a little fairy. “She’s Naiad…” The little thing waves everywhere just to make sure she waved at you. “I haven’t told the big shots about it just yet… She has stage fright too.”

“What does it do?”
“It lets me know a person’s deepest wish. It’s not as easy or as cool as it sounds… We’re actually working together now, right? ‘cause I told you way more than I should.” Xavi is back at looking nervous, his little partner disappears and goes back to his feet.

How do you respond?

>“For now we are. We’ll help those people.”

“For now we are. We’ll help those people.” You’ll have to trust each other, which reminds you. “Think of this as our own mission of trust.”
“Ha, I get it.” Xavi finger guns the wrong way. You appreciate the gesture though.

Out of the blue, you hear loud footsteps coming this way, just from one person. Xavi immediately starts pretending to search through the rubble inside the office like he was working this whole time. After some excruciating seconds, one man makes his entrance: A somewhat recently wounded bald man with a snarky smirk that you’re very familiar with! Yes, it’s the man who attacked you at Judgment Day with Valdemar, the man who almost killed Ka-Shing, the man who’s name is… ehm… You don’t know his name… You thought he was dead anyway!

“Chancellor Foroutan!” Xavi tries to act more surprised than usual. And yes, Foroutan! That’s this despicable man’s name that you totally did knew, ‘cause you’re an expert spy! Did you even know that? Or did you forget that you didn’t know that too? Your head is spinning and it’s not only fatigue this time.
“I hear ya’ laughin’. Why were you laughin’?” Foroutan doesn’t stop smiling as he stares at Xavi from the doorframe.

“I wasn’t laughing, I just caught some dirt in my mouth.” Surprisingly, a good lie from Xavi. You did not see that one coming.
“You did, did you?” Foroutan doesn’t quite believe him. He slowly starts approaching Xavi. Something is off about him… He doesn’t have his flame on his body…

Is this the Chancellor they were waiting for? He doesn’t look as bad in shape as you would assume after what you did to him.

What do you do?

Better to keep your cover and keep watching this unfold than to risk everything with a poorly thought maneuver. Besides, you need to fulfill your mission, you need to find a way to their secret entrance.

Chancellor Bald Head strokes his beard, moves his mouth from one side of his face to the other as he now stands next to Xavi – looking around without any urgency.

“Found something?” Foroutan is still suspicious about what Xavi’s deal here is.

“Well, the door wasn’t on the ground when we got here so I went to check it out. And… that’s all.” Xavi half-assedly informs.

“You think our intruder chap escaped through here?” Foroutan points at the hole where a window should be.

“Doesn’t take a genius to go through a hole.” Xavi smiles.

“So you think he’s gone?” Foroutan stares at the empty hole, examining it for any clues.

“Does he have any reason to stay?” Xavi’s mind is clear on the matter.

“But maybe he has a reason to come back. Cover it up with some of the rubble here, will ya? Let’s make it a bit difficult for him to spoil our party. We have to get back in a minute, we need to proceed with our plans.” The bald man looks frustrated as he steps away from the window and waits for his minion to proceed.

“Yes, sir.” Xavi salutes his chancellor and gets to work.

Xavi drags one of the desks towards the hole, miraculously dodging the spot you’re standing on, he’s moving way too close to your comfort! Anyway, Xavi success in covering up the hole without acting suspicious or bothering you in any capacity. What a champ.

After a job well done, the bald man orders Xavi back to where the truck is and the two of them go away. After a couple of seconds, you trail behind them without even making a sound. You’re getting pretty good at this!

With a decent distance from the where the events are unfolding (without sacrificing any visibility), you stand there watching their scheme unfold. The Chancellor has his four men standing next to each other a couple of feet away from the truck, their back facing the metal garage doors. He’s walking in circles in front of them like some class of sergeant without saying a word. None of the clerics look especially nervous in this situation, Xavi is doing great work – almost like he’s used to this in some capacity.

“So you all saw what’s in the truck, right?” Foroutan wants to make sure none of him men are lying. He peeks inside the truck to check for something and stays with his face in there.

“I haven’t. But the others told me what’s inside.” The big man smiles as carefree as ever.

“Fantastic.” Foroutan’s voice drips of sarcasm, his face still buried inside the truck. “This was a mission of trust and you breached that trust.”

The four priests gulp at unison.

“Shame, I’ll have to do a Trial of Fate. I don’t like this new protocol, but it is what it is. You, goatee. C’mere.” Foroutan asks Xavi to be the first one to step up. As nervous as he dealt with you at first, he walks forward. “Go inside the truck and pick one of the girls.”

“Pick one of them for what, sir?” Xavi asks first.

“You’ll have to trust me.” Foroutan shrugs.

“I don’t feel comfortable without knowing what the purpose is, sir.” Xavi tries to sound very diplomatic.

“I told ya, trust. me.” The Chancellor is grinning like he’s waiting to tell the best joke ever.

Xavi is having a few seconds of hesitation. All eyes are on him…

Well there is no better time to intervene than now! You look around for something you can break to distract them from whatever this “Trial of Fate” entails! Between the hallway and this area, there is a wooden drawer that looks similar to the one from the desk in the office. In two seconds, you pull out a part of your partner, use his weapon to destroy it in one swoop and hide while invisible again! That should be fast enough that the bald man couldn’t see you and make the noise you need!

“What was that?” The chinless man is the first to notice.
“Don’t tell me..?!” The evil cultist shakes his head. “Sir, we might be in trouble.”

“Yeah, I know! That damn chuckle-head broke in again!” The Chancellor walks around the truck to the front. “Big man, hop in the driver's seat! You three, stall! Us two are takin’ the truck! Now this is your real trial of fate, don’t fuck it up, you hear me?!”
“Yes, sir!” Xavi, chinless cultists and evil cultist make their way towards the source of the sound you made.

Foroutan somehow makes the solid ground in front of the truck collapse, making a giant entrance to an underground path of sorts. The hole is big enough for the whole thing to go through. He used his stupid mole entity for this!

“Fuck…!” Foroutan is taking a few seconds to recuperate. You hear the engine of the vehicle roaring. “Don’t fuckin’ go without me, you fool…” The Chancellor complains!

The chancellor is not only tired, he’s distracted as well! It’s your opportunity to beat him to a pulp without repercussions! You scurry at an incredible speed (for you) towards the bald man, and with your partner now fully invoked again, you strike! With the backend of Philonune’s spear you hit the back of his head!

“GaAaH..!” Chancellor Foroutan easily gets knocked down with your precise strike. You see his blue flame returning to his body! It’s on his back, towards his arm right. You let him drop on the ground. This was as easy as the first time, this old man never learns.

“Mr. Chancellor, are you okay?” The tall priest in the driver’s seat peeks outside of his window and asks the obviously unconscious man. He doesn’t look that worried…

You feel a little light-headed, but it’s no problem for now.

With momentum on your side, you go ahead and dash towards your next objective: the tall cultist in the driver’s seat! This is almost child’s play, he has no chance against you, right? He won’t be able to tell what’s happening in any shape or form.

You utilize your partner’s weapon again and do the exact same trick to the guy. It was tougher to aim because of the narrow space of the window, but you managed anyway to knock this guy out…!

“…We’re in danger. I must escape.” The tall cultist somehow managed to withstand your strike?! How?! He even looks determined not to get beaten, an overwhelming will to live! He NOW grabs car handle! Oh god, this is going to get really dangerous if you don’t stop him!

…

You strike him once again and knocked him out this time.

...

Err… you might have overrated how great your first attack was, as this second one connects much cleanly – hopefully he won’t get any brain damage from this. Now that you think about it, he’s a cultist, he most likely already has some!

Problem now is that he dropped unconscious on the handle making the truck’s horn sound very loudly. You hear the other cultists (including Xavi) approaching.

Your head is starting to hurt…

What now?

Time is of the essence. You need to take them all out to even think about catching a break, you’re starting to feel like you need one – but you still have enough energy to continue. And knocking those two out isn’t going to drain that much anyway.

The trio of cultists arrive, chinless man and evil cultist leading by a large margin while Xavi is trailing behind, showing no real effort. The three finally are seeing the play you left them and them looking concerned would be putting it lightly.

“Well, would you look at that?” Chinless man is not surprised but disappointed. “Whoever you are, intruder. You have bested me, I give up!” He raises his hands.
“You traitor!” The evil cultist knocks his chinless brethren out. “Intruder, don’t think this is over! I’ve trained with the strongest martial artists in the country, over 200 different techniques and centuries of knowledge fill my head! I shall not be defeated with ease!” You can barely hear his voice in the midst of the noise. “Now come forth, let me put you through the pain thousands of lives forged with their blood! I shall— kuuuu….!”

You didn’t let the cultist finish his drivel before you knock him out for good. You never stopped moving closer. That was mighty disappointing.

“We cool, right? You’re the one who knocked them out, right?” Xavi has his hands in the air and laughs thanks to his ever growing anxiety.

What now?

>Knock him out as well. You don’t need Xavi. He was a cultist anyway and he shall pay as well.
>“Yeah, we cool.” Make yourself visible and catch a break.

“Yeah, we cool.” At last, you can turn your cloak off and catch a break. As you start appearing, you slowly sit on the ground to relax. Feels like you’ve been jogging for 20 minutes straight.
“Holy smokes! You’re really tall! I-I mean… That’s your ability?!” Xavi is completely caught off guard for a variety of reasons. “Mine is pretty shitty in contrast.”
“Mine was too until I found its perks.” You have to admit. No offense to Phil.

“You cool with me knowing this?” Xavi gets closer.
“I know yours, right?” You would shrug if you weren’t trying to get your energy back. Every bit counts! “Could you take your friend out of the car? The noise is driving me insane...”

“R-Right…” Xavi runs towards the truck and the noise finally seizes. He once again appears next to you. “Even the chancellor is out…” He’s marveled by your efforts, like a fan discovering his new role model.
“Do you know what to do with the people inside that truck? They look hypnotized.” You wonder.

“Of course I don’t…” He looks down to the ground.
“Well, start preparing everything, because we’re taking it out. I don’t have a license, so you’ll have to drive.” You say in a joking tone. “I’ll make a call in the meantime.”

“Yes, sir!” Xavi runs back towards the truck and will figure out how to take this thing out of this place.

After a deep breath, you stand up and dial B-WORM’s number, your headache isn’t that intense anyway now that you drop the camouflage. The call connects.

“Yes? Are you still in there?” That’s not B-WORM’s voice. In fact, that’s a girl’s voice, and it sounds very familiar.
“Who’s talking…?” Good thing you have the voice modifier on so you can talk freely...
“So you are not connected with these two? You’re not part of their team?” She’s not making sense, unless…

All of a sudden, from the direction where B-WORM and Dudley should be, a Crimzone emerges! Thankfully, the truck is just edged out of its range.

“Maybe you’re not that close.” The girl hangs up after that.

Wait, that voice… you have heard it multiple times… That’s not your regular flame user…

That’s Giorsal! The Judge! Did she take B-WORM and Dudley out?! Is she right outside?! Why didn’t B-WORM tell you?! Do you even have the time to think this through?! Should you check or…?!

What do you do?!

>Buckle up, you’re escaping with Xavi on the truck! You need to save the brainwashed people!
>Tell Xavi to deal with the truck and its victims. You’ll check outside and make sure B-WORM and Dudley are fine.

“Take them somewhere safe, I need to deal with something urgent now.” You’ll have to check if B-WORM and Dudley are fine. You aren’t exactly fatigued, but you have been putting too much pressure on yourself today with how long you’ve been invisible. Are you even capable of doing something? Is it even reasonable to try? “Let’s exchange numbers first. If I don’t call you in an hour, you’ll have to deal with it on your own.” You pull out your phone.
Xavi turns around to see the Crimzone almost getting to the truck, after a brief moment of hesitation – he pulls out his phone and you two exchange numbers. “…B-Be careful out there.” Your newfound ally wishes you well.

You shoot him a thumbs up and slowly make your camouflage work as you start walking towards the other side of the building, the place coated in red – Are B-WORM and Dudley fine? Is it worth the risk? Is there anything you can really do? Some of these questions that cloud your thought but not your decision…

You’re back at the abandoned office. Funny how you saw this obstacle being assembled in front of your eyes for you to tear it apart… You move the rubble to the side, and go through the hole! You’re now outside. The moon shines in the sky, the lights are off thanks to the Crimzone and there isn’t anything else of notice for you to keep this narration going…

As you carefully approach the position where the taxi should be, you notice from afar a new picture you’re not comfortable with – but something you will have to deal with:

Giorsal and Valdemar Bruun are standing near the taxi, both B-WORM and Dudley seemingly knocked out and tied up next to the vehicle.

How is Valdemar even alive?! What did Ka-Shing’s men do that day?! Let him and the bald guy go with a slap on the wrist?! Took them to the hospital as well while they’re at it?! You thought that would be the last you’ve seen of him! Now, he’s alone with his three blue flames floating around and he’s sporting a similar outfit to yours. The judge, on the other hand, has her green flame and is using a darker version of what you remember her wearing last time you saw her.

You put your back to the side of the building and keep watching the events unfold, or truthfully just digest what you’re seeing.

“…You’re taking them off them?” Valdemar asks Giorsal in the most mundane way possible.
“Yes, their collaborator isn’t within our grasp. It will take a few minutes and I beg you not to interrupt us.” Giorsal brings her partner out, a bee-like creature is in full display! Giorsal’s eyes start turning green and she’s… she’s going to take their flames! She’s going for B-WORM first! OH NO!

You have to think quick, you need to somehow distract her before she gets her hands on B-WORM’s flame! But how!? You can not think about a new maneuver, and even getting over there could be troublesome. Is there such a skill you possess in your arsenal capable of doing such a feat in no time?! Something you have mastered thanks to the help of all your friends and family?!

Wait, that’s it!

“HEY GIORSAL, YOU’RE FLAT AS A BOARD! I HAD BUG BITES BIGGER THAN YOUR CHEST!” You scream from the top of your lungs! It’s bullying time! Your distorted voice does a good job at making it haunting!

And it’s working! Giorsal freezes in place and her green aura stops emanating. Valdemar looks around, calling one of his birds to scan the area. Thankfully, the bird didn’t spot you and it’s only flying in circles way up in the sky.

“What was that…?” Valdemar is in full alert mode.
“…” Giorsal hasn’t moved one bit since you told her the crushing truth.

“That got to you?” Valdemar checks on Giorsal but doesn’t look like he truly cares.
“N-No…” Giorsal is crying like a little baby. “I just… cry easily…”

“Then take their flames.” The cultist takes Giorsal’s answer at face value.
“I-I c-can’t concentrate… I’m sorry!” Giorsal wipes her tears but they keep flowing.

“Giorsal! Don’t let the ghosts of the past haunt you any longer! You’re better than this!” Her entity tries to cheer her up.
“I-I said I’m fine… This is not a big deal! You’re just making it worse with your… your… your…” Giorsal is not fine at all. She covers her “breasts” and she’s right, they are not a big deal.

“Darling, there’s no such thing as perfect! You’re beautiful as you are, Giorsal. Even with your imperfections, you can do anything!” The bee smiles cheerfully. “Please, encourage her as well!” The entity wants Valdemar’s help.
“…I know nobody really cares and won’t ever care.” Valdemar does his best. It isn’t working. The girl walks away, hiding her face in shame!

But what’s working is this form of distraction! Both of them almost completely forgot you just yelled at them!

What do you do?! (You can only carry one at the time.)

You have created a clear cut chance to attack! With your camouflage up you dive into the battlefield with a clear objective! To take out Valdemar Bruun while he’s distracted yet again!

“Giorsal! Please get it together! You can not use my abilities if you’re distraught!” The judge entity doesn’t know what to do with her girl.
“I-I know…! J-Just…” Giorsal keeps running away at a slow pace. Valdemar just shakes his head.

“You know what to do! Hug me!” Her entity is ready for some love!
“I-In p-p-public?! I’m an adult! Absolutely not!” Giorsal shakes her head like Amelia would, which is very child-like.

Valdemar opens his eyes and now realizes what situation lead to this one, he looks up to the sky to his crow-like entity but it remains impassive. At the same time, you’re now within reach of him and let your surprise attack begin! You grapple him before he notices you out of your invisibility, then knee his groin – for the final touch, you pull your head really far back and then hit him like a hammer! It fuckin’ hurts, but it should be way worse for him!

Valdemar drops down and twirls on the ground away from you. He tries to stand up, but almost falls back from the dizziness – he brings his other two birds out into the equation. He’s already in really bad shape! He doesn’t seem to understand what’s going on but he’s trying to put the pieces together…

“Hey! We got company!” He screams at Giorsal who is now hugging her entity like a dumb child.
“I-I’m sorry! I c-can’t do anything!” The psychological damage is too strong for Giorsal to withstand.

You’re still invisible with a clear advantage. You expected to knock him out, but he seems tougher than the last two times you faced him… Not like you remember the first one.

What do you do?!

Without understanding what exactly is going on, Valdemar tries to block his flanks with his bird things, making it easy for you to approach up front! You jump in the air and dropkick him in the gut! Sending him flying through the air and collapsing on the taxi… Leaving a dent…! Whoops…

Oh, and Valdemar is out cold! The three blue flames come back to his body like nothing happened, they look healthy enough that you don’t fear for the cultist’s life – despite one part of you thinking you shouldn’t care about it.

“Good work, partner.” Philonune seems content with being a mere spectator, for now that is… He seems like he’s aching for a fight.

Easy peasy, right? Wrong. Your headache is aggravating so you’ll need to finish this soon! Despite you doing a good job managing the usage of your ability in these vital points, you still have used it for a long prolonged amount of time for a day.

“Oh, nononononononononono!” Giorsal notices Valdemar is completely out. Then raises her arms up in the sky! “L-Listen to me whoever you are! S-Stop this at once or I’ll… I’ll…!” Giorsal threatens you but looks like she’s about to go cry in a ditch somewhere. “No! I’ll stop you whoever-you-are!” Giorsal doesn’t know what to do with her hands. “I-I’m no joke! This will be your last warning! If you want to protect these men, you’ll make a po-powerful enemy! T-there is absolutely no room for diplomacy! You either f-fight or…!”

Giorsal can not make up her mind if she wants to fight or not, the only thing that’s for sure is that she’s an emotional mess, is it just that plain insult was so hurtful for her or is there more to it…? Either way, her flame looks as small as her breasts...

The savagery will continue in another form! It’s time to bully Giorsal once again and destroy her spirits, not her literal one who is floating around but you get the point!

“Chill, I don’t want to hurt a cute girl like you.” Confuse the enemy with flattery, a new strategy you’re putting into the test.
“C-Cute…?!” Giorsal is absurdly confused.

“Yeah, you’re cute when you cry!” You continue making fun of her.
“W-What are you talking about…?” Giorsal hides her face in shame, her partner loses control and turns back to a green flame on her chest. “What are you trying to accomplish…?”

“Maybe a date?” You wink to no effect ‘cause you’re invisible. You’re trying to act like a cheap Casanova.
“Y-You don’t want any of that! You’re trying to distract me!” Giorsal sees through your “lies”! “You just told me that I…” She touches her hardly visible magumbos.

“You shouldn’t worry about your tits when you have such a fat ass!” Your confuse ray continues shining on her!
“Huh?!” She walks back and puts both hands on her butt. “It’s not big at all!”

“No need to be modest, adorable.” You need to stop winking while invisible.
“P-Please stop!” Giorsal can’t take it anymore! She crouches and cover her ears with both hands!

“How can I stop if you’re this adorable?”
“Stop being so condescending! You’re fighting against me, I’m not stupid!” Giorsal is now in fetal position… You don’t know why this is so highly effective, but you won’t complain. The only thing you can complain about is this headache that’s growing.

“Yeah, you’re stupid! Stupidly cute, girl with beautiful eyes! I want to touch your fluffy hair!”
“I…” After that last bit, Giorsal stops moving! Is that it?

The leader of the judges slowly rises from the ground, looking the other way from you. Now she dramatically turns around, and... there is something really off about her. Can it be that…?

“You’ve made a grave mistake, participant! Playing with my girl’s weak heart is despicable!” That’s not Giorsal’s voice. That’s her entity’s! She starts pulling her clothes up, showing more of her body! “I, Ethempress, will teach you a lesson no history book has written yet!”

She quickly starts running towards you, somehow knowing your exact location! Did you activate her secret mode?! What kind of bullshit is this?! Did your plan backfired?!

You don’t have time to think about how can she tell where you are, you need to fend her off and get rid of her! And there is someone who has been waiting for his moment for a little while now, ‘cause sneak kills don’t really satisfy him!

Ethempress skips around like a failed ninja at a decent pace, she jumps in the air and goes for a high jump kick towards your face! But Philonune makes his presence known and smacks her away with the back of his spear, making the poor woman have an uproarious fall on the cold pavement of the city! She bounces once and reminds there for a couple of seconds. Then again creepily stands up from the ground, some bruises on her – she’s not down yet! She tries to stand up again but collapses to unconsciousness… The Crimzone disappears as well!

Your victory grants you +5 Courage Experience Points and +5 Knowledge Experience Points!

You don’t know if you’re pretty good or this is a giant letdown. Either way, victory is yours! Hooray! You have four people unconscious here and four inside. Errr… You don’t even know where to begin now…

You only know that your head hurts...

What do you do?

Time to strip some goons of their Flames. And emotionally support and help the new girl.

Yup, that's the idea. Let's hope no plot armor shenanigans happen, that'd be annoying

It wouldn’t be good if you actually killed a judge! So you need to check on Giorsal! Well if you did kill her, the Assembly is even more pathetic than what you originally thought! What are the implications anyway if others found out? Would you be expelled from the competition? This can’t be good, but you shouldn’t be thinking about this right now…

Just for good measure, you keep your invisibility up as you approach the woman you just knocked out cold with one swift attack! You pull Philonune out again in flame form to conserve some energy. Fuck, you’re feeling a little disoriented… She’s breathing for all you can tell, you turn her over and...

“Partner, wait!” Philonune realizes something too late!
“Surprise! Surprise!” Ethempress is awake and immediately grabs Philonune! Wait, how can she…?! Wait…

You remember long ago, Nurse Calamity was able to spot your invisibility because she was able to see your flame! Same thing Giorsal can do! Ethempress just tricked you by pretending to be unconscious, OH FUCK! This is really fuckin’ bad! You start feeling really sickish and can’t move...! Does this have something to do with her grabbing your flame?!

“This is your punishment, participant!” Ethempress is planning on… taking Philonune away…?!
“I’m… not… going… away…!” Philonune’s will is unbreakable! So is yours, right?!

…?!

You have no other option but to convince her you’re not the enemy! You feel Philonune’s trust in you, so you are more determined than ever to manage the improbable!

“W-Wait, stop! I’m not your enemy!” You managed to use all your strength to talk! You lose your camouflage. Ethempress smirks at the sight.
“Bold claim! Just don’t waste your energy, participant!” Ethempress doesn’t even bothers to hear you.

“If I was your enemy, would I have used the blunt end of my spear? I only attacked you as soon as you attacked me and immediately went to check on you. Does that sound like the actions of someone who wants to kill you?” You make your case.
“Your hostile attitude can not be ignored. We acted because we felt justifiably threatened as soon as you took our ally out. Your erratic logic is laughable! Now I’ll take away your partner!” Ethempress has made her verdict.

…But for some reason she stopped moving. She’s not letting you go though.

“D-Darling, this jokester’s words are not to be believed…! You heard what he said about you…! P-Please you can’t be this naïve…! No, he doesn’t have a point! You’re going to get hurt again…! GiORsAAAaaaaaaAaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaALLL…!” Ethempress squeezes Philonune in her hands before losing control and twitching until she lets him go… It seems like the real Judge is back in control of her own body. “Ouchies, my face hurts!” Giorsal touches her cheek, then quickly gets embarrassed and puts her skirt back down.

“Please… What I told you is the truth… Forgive me…” Fuck this left you in a really bad state even after she let go. Your body feels all wobbly as you drop to the ground.
“I don’t trust you, but I want to give you a chance…” Giorsal invokes Ethempress normally, the entity looks displeased but not furious. The entity raises her parasol… “I’m sorry for what I’m about to do. But once we’re at the Distant Frontier we’ll talk.”

(Convincing Giorsal netted you enough experience points to get your Handsomeness to Level 5. But Johnny won’t reach it just yet because it doesn’t fit narratively right now! So next instance he will!)

“W-Wait…!” Is she planning on knocking you out?!
“Partner, bring me out! I’ll fence her off!” Philonune wants to protect you, but you don’t have the strength inside you after getting struggled by proxy!

...

And so Giorsal knocked Johnny out…! With that we will mark the end of this thread!

…

Or did she?!

“Meow!” That’s a very deep meow! That comes from none other than the best spy cat Neko has to offer! It’s Bradford Jr. and he heroically jumps on Giorsal’s face and prevents her from attacking you!
“Get off me! Get off me!” Giorsal starts struggling!
“Meow Meow!” Is he telling you to escape?!

You’ll have to find out next time, since that’s all we have for this thread! Thanks for playing!

Bradford jr.'s a good boy

Thanks for running

Man this is some shit.

It's not like we've got ground to stand on since we also use a judge for our own benefit but I'm surprised to a) see them in the field and 2) work with crazies who brainwash prime and run a slave ring. Giorsal didn't really act like she cared much about the morality of the cult or her own actions, she's either unaware or completely morally bankrupt. Or her entity is in charge and she's resigned to the situation with no way out.

This is all very sus

>>4012663
I agree on both ends. Firstly, it's total bullshit that a judge can help this much. We have Constance sure, but we don't exactly send her on missions. There's got to be some kind of precaution against something like this, right? It'd be like if a football ref joined a game on his preferred team and then proceeded to disqualify anyone who tackled him. Defeats the point of even having a ref on the first place

And secondly, Giorsal's motives are a complete mystery. She doesn't seem brainwashed or to genuinely be into the cult deal like, say, Vivienne. She also probably knows about the slave thing if she was sent here and she seems to have ultimate control over her entity like Constance. There's also the direct contradiction of her being the leader of the Judges, who's goal is to protect the world, while also being part of the cult that intends to destroy it. So she the only answer I can think of is that she's desperate

Based on her actions here, she seems much more reasonable than her entity and we'll probably have a chance to talk to her since she said she'll hear us out. So we should inquire as much as we can then

>>4012432
Fuck fat cat saves the day.

>>4012432
A little bullshit that we didn't even get the chance to dodge or stop her sneak attack and we have to make all these rolls but we would've lost if didn't succeed one ridiculously hard one. That seems lile artificial difficulty

Other than that, good thread

Thanks for running, QM!
