Pick up knife. Read sign.

There appears to be a broken arrow nearby.
Are you in danger?

I shall name thee Jeff The Gnollwomen. It is a fitting name. Now how high do you have to be to not freak out about us?

Come on Jeff let us discuss you pass, your ambitions, you're skills, and more importantly get that fucking knife. It beckons.

First thing's first - take stock of yourself.

What are you carrying? What do you remember? Anything important we ought to know? The more we know, the better we can guide you...

Inspect BROKEN ARROW. Turn the sign around to confuse any passing elves.

Head left, I guess.

So what do we call you? Wait, is that a strap-on?

Alright Jeff, look down the cliff then look up from where you fell.

So Archmage, you got a name that isn't Archmage? Like reading, titles are for pretentious, faggy elves. Ain't that right, Jeff? Jeff knows what is up.

I do think Bane is a good name for you. For you shall be the Bane of his existence, once you find a way back to his dimension and kick his ass. Maybe on the way find a more flattering hairstyle.

Oh right, you should ask if it's a prissy elf for wearing a prissy cloak. We're not helping elves.

>>270602
Loot the stuff on the ground. Then ask that thing to give you one good reason why you shouldn't kill it and eat it. And it had better be a real fucking good reason, because you're hhungry.

Ban??e? = Banshee ???

Anyway, ask the thing what it's doing up there and why. Don't free it until it offered some kind of reward.

That looks like a lizard and it would be totally cute an awesome ally for you to have!

LOOT shield and PICKAXE. POSE! Then BEAT HIM LIKE A PINATA UNTIL THE XP COMES OUT.

Drag it over to the signpost and force it to read the sign to you. If it does, it's an elf who deserves to suffer. If it doesn't, it isn't helping you! Everybody wins!

>>270624
Y'know, I like your style, but there are totally more useful things you could do with this guy.

Like making it carry stuff around, or do things that you need done but don't feel like doing yourself, or using it as a decoy to catch people off guard (as in "oh, look, it's some poor, wounded --- WHERE DID THAT GNOLL COME FROM???"). Torture is all fine and good, but you've got to think a bit more long-term than that.

Oh, it's got buttspikes. That's pretty badass. Heh, ass. Can't be an elf if it's got spikes. Name it Spike and give it a chance to prove it's not a total poofter, let it talk.

>>270624
That's no elf. Let it down...

Lick its faaaaaaaace

Yes. Be sure that your breath is suitably fetid first.

If you're an all-powerful wizard, can't you zap her on the nose for being bad? Because those sorts of actions deserve a zap on the nose.

A Kobold and a knight? That's pretty cool. Also kobolds aren't very tasty, they're all skin and bones. And this one doesn't seem to be a friend of elves either.

Let him down so he can explain himself better.

Come on! It's at your mercy, and it's a scrawny knight or something. Knights are like elves right? Because they read stuff and reading is for losers. Make it read the sign so you know what's where!

It deserves it for being weak and for getting itself captured like that anyway.

>>270640
Maybe it ATE a knight, and therefore gained it's powers? Because that's how knights work. Trust me. :V

Ask him if he has any food on him besides... well, himself.

>>270640
Ask what "catalyst" is.

I think there's an outside shot that this guy might be sworn to you or something, which would be hilarious and also kinda useful.

>>270640
Randomly slash at it until some reasonable proportion falls to the ground. Maybe you'll cut the net, maybe you'll cut bits off the guy, either way it'll be fun!

>>270640
It's inzulting you intelligense, you should eats it

Knight, eh? More like canned meat. Ask her what will she do for us because right now she's just a walking delicacy. I hear knights give oaths, make her give an oath.

Chicken you say, sounds delicious. Better eat it.

Get him down, why not.

Be careful when letting him down. He's injured and if he hits the ground hard it may reopen the wounds.

let him forever be known as Leroy, the one that tastes like chicken and runs obliviously into traps.

I guess he did something nice for you, unintentionally, so reward him by letting him down... as long as he does read that sign! If he disobeys... well we can wait and see if that happens.

That's a total lie. She's basically on her last tether. Unfortunately I'm not much good with arrow wounds.

You could have her read the sign, if she can, I guess. Faggy elves or no, it might be useful to know where the heck things are.

Pull the arrows out.

Be genuinely surprised when this makes things worse, then decide not to let the fresh meat go to waste. :3c

>>270728
If it says that it's ok then don't bother with it. And I hope it doesn't expect to get the gear back, that's your loot now. Anyway, guess you should ask it something about the archmage asshole.

Bangles: Ask who shot the lizard. Consider possible medical treatment; take no action if risky.

Kirska: Evaluate wounds, determine if they will get worse if not treated.

Smack it over the back of the head. Laugh and say it's lying. If it falls over, sit on it and ponder how to pull out the arrows.

kill the bold, it'll steal your xp. better yet kill the bold, get xp, and loot.

I think that is not really a gnollish brand of creepy. Just kinda bigtime creepy there. Let's not have her do that.

Bangles: Ask Kirska about what she was doing before she got arrowed and snared.

I'm getting the feeling our dear Gnoll has a few points in HERB LORE if you know what I mean.

I mean that she should keep an eye out for poisonous herbs and critters to put on her awesome dagger.

Or smoke.

>>270838
Good idea. We should keep an eye out for any usable plants.

If yanking out those arrows did -that- much damage..that wound has to be looked after.

Let's read that silly sign, then get those piercing wounds looked after. -quick-. Tearing them out probably aggravated the wound and she may be bleeding steadily - oddly enough licking -could- make it better.

Go up to the guy and stare at him as if you were some sort of dumb gnoll.

He has awesome fangs compliment him on his fangs

Also, Kriska, Bangles spun the sign earlier. It isn't accurate, so estimate the right directions based on your knowledge of where you came from the the position of the sun.

Or just wander around randomly. Given Bangles state of mind, accurate or inaccurate directions will probably have the same effect.

>>270847
Maybe? Kick him off anyway. It'll be hilarious.

>>270844
Hmm, if the voice of the archmage says not to associate with them, then that sounds fun. But kicking people off cliffs are also fun.

Lets go with the kicking way of fun. Go up all nice and friendlylike then when you're close enough, deliver a solid front kick to the solar plexus and make the cultist fly. If he actually does fly rather than smack into the ground for a messy death then you should probably hide.

1. Tackle the cultist.
2. Wave while looking down the cliff.
3. ???

Also: the only side missing an arrow was off the edge of the cliff before, somewhat obviously. Now the only side missing an arrow is back the way you came. Bangles must have rotated the sign 180 degrees, so compensate using that.

Come on Kirk, you can do iiiit!

>you DO have that power, but I do not know how strong it is, even if you can not do damage, you certainly can TRY to affect things in the gnolls sphere of influence, failing that, you can at least send mind messages to the creatures around her, be they friend or foe, it makes little difference.

?????: "if the catalyst dies, your quest is failed, what do you have to offer for me in exchange for her life?"

Kirska: "she's N-NOT the catalyst! just some grubby gnoll! "

?????: "even if that's what you truly believe it doesn't matter, one thing that does is that my arm is getting tired, better think quickly"

>>270944
Well, Kirska, do you have anything handy to trade?

Failing that, uh... is there any way we could somehow use one of these poorly-defined "powers" to convince the cultist that Bangles really is some random gnoll or something?

>>270944
Orc, if you let her die we will haunt your ass. This Gnoll has some motherfucking mojo on her do you understand? Spirits will fuck you up! Do you understand? We will ruin your life, we will make your mind rot like her corpse. You will succumb to thoughts that are not your own and be broken. When we are done you will be nothing more then a fucking shell grasping for whatever remains of your psyche.
I will break you.
Do. You. Under.Stand.Mother.Fucking.Perfectly? Does that sound like a fair trade for her life?

How about I give you a taste? I'm going to play this in your head until your sick of it and many others.
Uhh archmage can you like make this play 5 or so times in his head for me? Thanks bro.

Absolutely. We do not have and never will have any use for it anyway. (Don't say the last part, you idiots.)

No, it's a trap! Never give up the phallus!

Dig into his mind to find out his intentions with it or what could come of it! Uhh, Archmage that's what I want to do, I want to dig into his fleshy brain and pull information from it.

>>270969
...earlier, I did not care about the damn thing. Now that I know it's a thing, I do not dare give it away. D:

Have him heal up Bangles first, then hand it over. The chance that the thing is actually magical are slim, I think, and it's probably just an object with some significance. But tell him he better not do anything evil with it. ...or if he does, to at least let us watch.

Give him the sex toy.

well, bangles kinda needs to be conscious to give it to anyone. and she'll probably be ported back to where ever she came from if she dies, thus u'd lose this rare artifact. and judging by her minuet intelligence and grabby nature u won't be able to get it. however because she is so innate you might be able to get her to do whatever it is you want while keeping in mind of her limitations. work for us, and i'm sure you'll be more then able to sway her decisions to a degree.

Oh for fucking out loud.

Give him the fucking thing that we weren't going to do a damn thing with otherwise.

Rule #1 in a Hostage Situation. ALWAYS keep the upper hand.

Demand that she be dragged away from the cliff and set safely on the ground, THEN you'll hand the fake dong over.

>>270969
Well, we can't very well convince her of anything while she's under your boot, eh? So maybe you should pull her away from the cliff and then heal her up so that we can tell her what to do.

Hey that's not really ours to give away. She might be attached to it.

heal gnoll then bend over so you may require the gift.

Kirska: "I S-suppose now you'll use it for some evil scheme right?

?????: [i]"use it! are you mad?, the Phallus is an artifact of untold power, if used directly it could imbue the victim with near unlimited power, they'd become a demigod a consumer of names, we're talking the kind of power that could send people flying into alternate dimensions with the slightest punt!, that kind of power is to chaotic for even the dark cults, only the greatest of fools would dare to be so reckless"

you pry into the Orcs mind, her name is Necrys Shadowhand of the Coalmane clan, she is a high ranking cultist, she intends to use the phallus for study, and to make weaker clone items, she is in a good mood, and feels little need for deception- link broken

>>271099
Hey. Hey Archmage. If you can read minds, can you... zap them? Say, just enough to cause the cultist to be briefly defenseless as the gnoll and kobold attempt an all-out assault upon her?

Archmage, would such clone items pose a threat to the stability of the world?

@Bangles - seems the best way back home to deal with your ex-boyfriend Ironpants is through the phallus power. if Necrys knows anything of how to maybe get you back home w/ it, you might want to join her and see if its at all possible.
she has been fairly reasonable so far.

It would have been very unlikely to result in the gnoll's death if you actually helped out, y'dick. Is she supposed to avoid all danger and go hide in a hole somewhere? She just gave up a serious mojo artifact- that's the sort of thing that it's worth a bit of risk to retrieve.

>>271130
Ok, time for harsh measures. That fucker is stealing your sextoy, and this can not be allowed to stand. Especially not since it's an awesome artifact. Give your slave back its crap so it can fight better then stalk after that Orc. He's going to get his shit ruined by you killing the fuck out of him.

Or if that's too big, just ask if she knows anything else we can do.

Let's try gambling with the elf.

Ask her if she ever played the "Rumplestiltskin game." If she hasn't, it goes like this. You both bet something of about equal value, and then you guess her name. If you get it wrong, she gets your thing. If you get it right, you get her thing.

You can bet Chicken's armor, that's probably pretty valuable.

it wouldn't be a good idea to play a game of wits with the elf. since she's a thief, she has to have a high dex score, so let's think of something along those lines we can compete in. Perhaps we could get something out of a fair good game, but we don't really have anything she wants right now. Surely bangles knows some kinds of games like these they could bet on.

I know an old bar game.

You need something like a shot (as in, small drink), a straw, and some kinda hat or cloth/napkin w/e to cover the entire shot.

The trick:
Say "hey, lets make a bet."
Then say, "I will cover the shot completely with my hat, and I bet you I can drink the entire thing without ever touching the hat myself." (you must include the myself bit)

What you do then is, while the hat is covering your shot, you use the straw and pretend you're drinking. Say, "Okay, im all done. I win."

Of course, the hat is covering your shot, and they'll say bullshit. You didn't drink anything. To which you can reply with "Sure I did, I drank it all, I don't need to prove it because I know I drank it."
They may say something to the effect of, "Screw you, lets see."

The point is, you get THEM to remove the hat for you, because the original bet said you can drink it without ever touching the hat YOURSELF. Just make sure you drink that shot as soon as she removed the hat or whatever. Is this doable?

Maintainer: "I'm sorry, but we don't deal in slavery here, you'll have to go north to Redstone keep for that sort of dealing"

Bangles: all the elf talk is starting to make me tired, maybe I should just go to sleep

>>271917
Go north to Redstone Keep.

It's not slavery. It's good honest work below minimum wage to pay off a debt that someone else collected. Also you're kind of scruffy for a gnoll, bottom of the litter I imagine.

Anyways, sleep.

Snooze time, Bangles. Dream of elven chicken. Or chickeny elves.

Or rubber forks.

7 more hours have passed

Kirska has regained all mana

Kirska: I must find a way to inform Master Raagweinder of this foul betrayal!

>>271942
What foul betrayal? The bounty?

>>271942
let me guess.. 3 dots means 3 manna? Can others see those lights, or are we privileged by our connection?

>>271942

If you're talking about the archmage, then he's been watching the whole time. Saw bangles play tether ball with you and everything.

Anyhow, what kind of magic can you use?

Prissy elf is sleeping! Grab everything and run West! Doit!

>>271965
I think you mistyped "sneak attack for massive damage".

>>271967
Seems that way doesn't it. Guess someone else will have to say it.

Sneak attack for massive damage on the elf.

>>271541
>>271544
HA!

Also yes: massive damage time.

Kirska: my master and Prince Auzellious have been Allies for over a hundred years. when my master noticed a rift opening he thought it wise to warn his Ally, and inform him of the
Catalyst . . . this was a mistake, Auzellious is untrackable even by magic, so instead he dispatched several knights myself included.
we informed Auzellious, of the danger to come and the importance of the Catalyst . . . he then turned his blades against us, in the forest we had no chance of victory he slew all my comrades, I alone escaped

>>271950
Kirska: then he already knew, or at least suspected, funny he never told you himself

Bangles is still asleep

maintainer: [i] "oh you're awake, hmm your being awfully quite?" [i]

>>271967
>>271969
>>271971
Kirska: she is awake, elves do not sleep, not truly anyways. Good. If I am to slay her it is better this way, I can slay her easily none the less, is this your wish spirits?

>>271985
Eh... No. Don't kill her. It seems like a bad idea to just go around killing people without sufficiently good reason.

>>271987

This. We're not entirely sure of her combat capabilities, either - what if she has some aces up her sleeves?

>Kirska is a knight, her spells and skills follow this pattern

>>271985
Nah, don't kill her. There's no real reason to.

The fuck is wrong with you people. Stop trying to kill everything. It's not a good idea.

Do not go around killing people who are friendly towards you unless you have strong reason to do so. The more people you have against you the harder everything will become.

>>271985
Stay your hand. She is likely ignorant of Bangles' role in all of this, and her position is supposed to be a neutral one. Bangles is, unfortunately, going to be a source of trouble. And, since she's been declared 'the Catalyst' just about everything she does, and you by association, will likely have incredible consequences.

>>272011
All the more reason to strike early and strike hard. You want this elf telling every money-hungry adventurer who passes about the high price on Bangles' head, then loading them out with equipment and healing?

Yeah, okay fun's over. No stabby for the elf. She's alright.

So, what do you do with a catalyst anyways?

>>272024
>we don't DO anything, The Catalyst twists and bends magic all around it, much like light through warped glass, to be quite honest a Catalyst develops only every thousand years or so, thus my information on them is inexact. what I can say is, that she has done such an apocalyptic amount of damage to the fabric of reality do to that artifact, that she may be the only thing that will save this world when the time comes

>>272072
She better get working on making a new artifact right away, then.

>>272096
"The Fleshlight of Bangles, the only artifact capable of fighting the power of the Phallus of Toreztidius."

>>272146
>as a thief, Bangles has absolutely no way of making magically items, let alone an artifact, if she is to get one she'll have to find it

Kirska: wise spirits give me a quest, tell me what I must do! please guide my path.

>>272155
Your task is to protect the catalyst, and keep her from harm and mistakes of ignorance.

Punch gnoll in the snout, establish dominance. Also to test it's mettle, it's been a very dissapointing little beast so far.

So, which way is your master and where did you run into Auzellious? And since we're not to do anything with it you do realize the most likely outcome is that we kill it from boredom?

>>272155
Dance for our amusement.

>>272155
Now is not the time for action or even to find the path, it is the time to prepare and defend and search. Right now you need only concern yourself staying prepared and perhaps scouting the area.

>>272158
Perhaps later, during the course of training and sparing.

I don't suppose the Catalysts very existence could serve as an instrument of item creation? Surely the bending of reality must be of some such use.

Your job is to provide a spoken counterpart to our subconscious urgings to the Catalyst to quit being such a little bitch.

>>272162
though it is possible that one of her items might begin to display magic properties, that is unreliable at best, the Catalyst bends and shifts magic, she doesn't simple create it.

>>272157
>>272168
Kirska: I understand Spirts! but surely we can not wait here forever, we will starve!

>Prince Auzellious is a master tracker, if the catalyst remains in one place for too long he will find her

>>272160
Kirska: by your will Spirits!

Kirska fails to dance. Kirska trips flat on her face

Head West to Ebonhill for now.

>>272187
Good enough. Heh.

Let's scout out the area to the east.

>>272187
...Oh, you mean what must you do RIGHT NOW? Well then..

Let the Catalyst sleep for another hour. She fell asleep later than you, and the last thing we want is a grumpy catalyst. See if the elf knows any of the latest news from the other directions. Droughts, plagues, goblins getting raided, what have you.

>>272187

Hey maybe you should wash the blood out of your cape.

Oh and if the elf asks what you were doing, tell her it was a warm up exercise. Since she's completely awake and all, now.
