There's a small group of women outside your castle..
They're talking amongst themselves and examining the still mostly destroyed court. Around them you can see the remains of your floatation ring.

Everyone once in a while they pound on the door. It's been ten minutes now, they're not going away.

Hmmm... looks like a cleric and paladin and something else at least. Obviously good aligned folks. Well, I guess the best way to do this is carefully. Have Kassandra answer the door, but be ready to withdraw her the moment things go south. Perhaps her being a cleric can help in terms of negotiation.

These guys are clerics. Kassandra would be a good spokesperson for us. Possibly paired with someone else... maybe Alice. Think about it. She's been very upfront with us that she has no intention to bow before us. She would be very honest and forthcoming to these people, as well. I would like an enforcer there too though, in case things go bad. How about Solaris?
>>
No. 358936 ID: 40cb26

They don't all look like clerics, but holy types all the same. That isn't better. Change Kass back into her robes for now (I hope we didn't sell them) and send her out there. Ah... actually I'm not sure what she should say. You'll need to trust her to make a good impression and say that the new master of the castle isn't a bad guy.

Change Ruby into the sailor suit for now and put on her robes. You look enough like a mage that you can pass for them and not a golem/demon thing.

You summon Kassandra. As she approaches you you hear Alalia dragging herself along the floor.

>"You know I could get rid of them all.. For G200."

"Hush you. Kassandra, do you know these people?"

Kassandra looks out the window at the group and gasps.

>Kassandra: "They actually came for me.."

"Hmm?"

>"Those are my sisters. Well not uh... They're not really my sisters but they sort of are.. It's uh... Hard to explain. They were able to track me down.. I didn't think that really happened.."

Entertain them to a cup of tea, yes. In fact, everyone gets some tea! Huge tea party! By the time they realize they are surrounded by evil minions inside a huge castle it'll be too late, and their tea will be spiked with sopoforics. Once they're out, we take them far away, drop them off, and go home.

Have her get back in her old robes, then invite them in for tea.

Kass is free to come and go as she pleases, we ended Sylva's rampage, we just brought a mass murderer to justice, the angels know we're here and are leaving us alone, and we're working on a cure for the plaguespreader curse. She's doing more good for the world helping us than by healing sellswords.
>>
No. 358955 ID: 40cb26

Well we aren't about to give her up. Just think, how many clerics are we going to get to actually honestly like us? But killing these girls may defeat that purpose, so lets avoid that.

"I'm not about to give you up, but I would avoid bloodshed if possible. The threat or true death is there for all humans here. Is there nothing that could get them to leave peacefully?"

Ask the mimic about what exactly she's offering. If she can manage not to kill them then I don't see why not do it.
>>

Invite them in, present them with tea, and apologize for being tardy in receiving them. "We weren't expecting guests today! You should have called ahead, sent a letter or something, we're always happy to receive friends of Kassandra's."

"Now, I imagine you're here about her terms of employment. As you can see, we're a small operation and we're just finding our feet. Kassandra surrendered when the partner she was previously working with lost against us. We were happy to accept her surrender, and have had her working on practical issues that may be of benefit to everyone.

"In fact I will present my bona fides, so to speak. So far we've ended Sylva's rampage, we just brought a mass murderer to justice, the angels know we're here and are leaving us alone, and we're working on a cure for the plaguespreader curse. It's all interesting work.

"She's not mal-treated; in fact she's an important member of the team."

If they claim that having her work with you at all is a problem, point out that 1) She surrendered and 2) She either needs to work off her value as a prisoner or they need to pay a ransom. 3) Or they can all help her work it off, it's all the same to us.

No matter what they pick, we'll need to nail down a value for her, a value for the work she provides, and maybe a value for the work they want to provide.

In all fairness, Kassandra is doing better with us than with them. When we first found her she was basically being ordered around by a jerk. We helped her, healed her when we could have chose not to, defended her when she was picked on and helped her become stronger while doing general good.

I think we should try to shoo them away, not hurt them. Don't want to be drawn into another conflict.

All right I don't even give a shit about Kass's sisters, hand her over, fight or talk, I don't care. What I believe is the real important situation is with that insubordinate, arrogant mimic. I want to throttle that mimic. She misunderstands the situation. She stole from us. Quite literally, she is a fucking thief. She can be unapologetic, we're defiantly no saints and have committed enslavement with the intention of dictatorship but she needs to understand we have power and that she needs to fucking own up that she stole money from us or money that was going to be given to us. I said just own up, just admittance to the crime. No apologies, just show no pride in that fact... or I will suggest that we make her life very, very miserable.

Besides just saying hello, you should have Kassandra show off her nice new outfit at the tea party.

>>358948
Well, that's inconvenient. Kassandra is ours; we don't call our ability "enslave" for shits and giggles. We're not letting go of her just because some people with swords showed up and want her; what kind of horrible precedent would that set? What's next, only enslaving new minions after asking nicely if they would care to spend their lives in our service? Hell no.

Scan them to determine how dangerous they are. Depending upon if we can take them and how, our tactics may need to change. It would be better to avoid a fight regardless but if it comes down to one we'd best prepare to win it decisively.

Ideally, Kassandra will want to stay with us and we'll be able to convince her sisters to shove off one way or another. She seemed pretty miserable before entering our service and acts rather contented now, so that might actually be possible. So let's try to talk this out... but don't lower our guard, and have people called up and prepared to fight if it comes to it.

>>358983
I am with you on the mimic issue- no way should we have stopped at one bracelet; she ate hundreds of thousands of gold easily and we're somehow apparently contented with less than we need to get the castle functional again? Hell no. That mimic needs to be shown the weight of our displeasure, and quite possibly we should talk with the demonologist to discover if there's a way to forcibly access her storage area by dissecting her or something, just in case she proves stubborn.

That said, I would prefer to deal with the holy types first. The mimic is going to be a frustrating issue and I don't want them deciding to kill us while we're handling her.
>>
No. 358992 ID: b6edd6

>>358991
I don't think trying to force it would work that well (she can use all that gold for her own spells, after all), but I agree we should talk with the demonologist about ways to get her to cooperate. (And to find out what that pentagram does.)

You agree, you really must take care of the mimic later but for right now we really should deal with the matter at hand.
You place a heavy rock on Alalia's lid so that'll work to keep her quiet for now.

You send Kassandra out to greet her sisters.

>Uhm... Hey guys.."

>???: "!!!"

The small girl places her hands on the ground and summons a hand made of light. It snatches up Kassandra and holds her up in the air. The armored girl approaches her.

>"Kassandra! We rescued you!"

>"I can't breathe!"

>"I can imagine with all this terrible demonic air around here."

Sending anyone out right now might send the wrong message.
You put your units on standby and go out yourself.

"Excuse me, I think you're crushing her lungs."

The armored one looks at you.

>Armor: "?? Who are you?"

"The Overlord. Sorry for not answering earlier I was afraid you'd mean us harm. I can see you're only here for your friend now."

>Armor: "That's correct. We know you kidnapped her!"

"I did no such thing."

>Kassandra: "H-he s-s-s... oh god I'm going to pass out..."

She passes out. The short one places her down.

>Armor: "Severely beat you up? We figured. Vile demon, we will destroy you!"

She charges forward, you can hear your group behind you getting ready to move. Before the Armored Girl can reach you the short one steps in.

>Short: "Down."

The Armored girl stops.

>Short: "You are not the Overlord. My Detect Evil spell doesn't sense you as the strongest evil here. Where is the real Overlord?"

"Question, what's behind that sealed off door."

>"Yes."

"Is she evil?"

And we... we get to try and talk her down. Shit. There's no point in trying to lie to her- there's no reason to think that she'd go chasing after an Overlord somewhere else rather than settling in here to do crazy things and slaughtering the lot of us.

Silva's Doll attack dealing 15 dmg.

Silva starts the Dance of Love.

>Tinker: "Silva! I thought that was you. So you finally forgave the Overlord for betraying you?"

She stops her dance.

>Silva: "What..?"

>Tinker: "You know. When he betrayed you. A year ago or so? Or it might've been 50. You two had this giant fight."

>Silva: "I... I don't remember that.."

>Tinker: "You lost your memories to? And now you serve him? Isn't that convenient. For him. That you lost your memories of him betraying you and kicking your ass. And now you serve him. Do you understand what I'm saying here, I'm really trying to make it simple."

Silva is stunned.

>Tinker: "Is that a plaugespreader? They still have those? I learned how to cure that decades ago. Or it could've been a few months ago. Hard to tell when time moves agonizingly slow for you."

Nyx is stunned.

Rose moves into position and prepares to jump.

Well the good news is that Nyx still has enough of a mind remaining to know what people are saying. Inconvenient at the moment though.

We should not attack before she does, as that would make the fight look like our fault.

Instead, say: "Yes, I am sure that we could have a lovely discussion of who did what if you hadn't just stated your intent to murder everyone.
And please, how would you have developed a cure for anything while locked in a room by yourself?"

To say if Silva asks about her past (but we shouldn't bring it up ourselves right now):"Yes, we fought before I died. When we next met, you tried to ambush me during a supposed meeting. I could have slain you permanently, but instead I allowed you another chance at life. I suppose I could kill you if you would prefer that."

Silva lost her memories yet remembered how to make her wine.

But fine, kill her. Although we shouldn't get "cruel and unusual" about it. The very suggestion of infected her with plague is horrendous. Not just for what it does to her but in general what plague-spreaders are. We are trying to at least keep our PR clean.
If she is irrecoverable then destroy her.

>>359261
Ok, actually that is a really REALLY good idea. While we risk her escape, we are also getting a cure for a previously incurable global disaster.
But give her time to actually tell us how it is done before infecting her.

That is of course a lie... once we cure her as a test we kill her.
And if she doesn't believe you, use the potion on her and hope she remembers the technique. Learn it, and then if still needs be, destroy her.

You consider the best way to deal with her. Death will suffice.

The Tinker turns to her captor, the place where her right eye is twinkles.

>"I know you! Hey how's Zephie doing?"

>"!!!"

Her hold on the Tinker falters and she breaks free. The Tinker dashes to the gate and smashes the doors open. She looks back at you for a moment then simply vanishes.

I'd say we have a 50/50 chance with the derpadin. She technically died while we weren't in combat so I am not sure how effective it would be.

As for the elder, it is a good idea, but we should do it personally as well. She is confused as hell and it might be a good idea to have genuine loyalty there as well. I don't like spider bitch and if she ever makes a anti-corruption potion, we will be in trouble.

I think we should tell the truth as far as we know. We did have a fight with her from way back which caused a bunch of problems, but we have no reason why other than the obvious dislike of each other's management skills due to only really having second hand information.

Hell, our info sources weren't that close to past us either. The last straw could have happened over a whole bunch of things but we have no idea. We don't know what caused everything to topple, why we did what we did, and who that third member of our group was.

In short, aside from knowing that we did fight and it was because of our methods (we were more rebuild and restore while she wanted to destroy if I recall) all the information we've been getting have basically been either common knowledge, second hand, or vague.

I think I speak for everyone when I say I want to know as much about past us as possible. This lack of knowledge has been almost killing us every where we go.

If more word about you being alive gets out, like when she hears such a discussion, spreading the truth that the Overlord has changed because he died and came back with no memory or identity would be a great help as well. I mean, we're still using unethical methods of growing like some slavery and such, but the old personality of pettiness, paranoia and corruption are gone.

You know, to prevent getting ransacked and having this mistake happen again. Also spread the fact that, for the love of god, do not approach the fucking overlord lair. Damn place is a death trap of a ruin with its own evils and secrets The Overlord doesn't even fully understand, and until the situation here is under control, no hero raids should be attempted. You want to rescue the people that do happen to be enslaved, also if the heroes that do raid could not be idiotic hypocrites, that would also be very appreciated. Very much. In fact, point all the good and straight and narrow heroes towards us when we got our feet back up. Especially if they have money.

Yeah, just spread the word that only non-hypocritic, smart heroes are allowed to raid in big fucking neon lights. It is exclusive to those. Just to rile the dumb, awful barely at all heroes up. Also get that dumb paladin some common sense classes, please.

Point out that she doesn't really have any disadvantages either. An Imp isn't terribly useful in a fight, and neither is a Succubus. She's perfectly capable as a soldier, especially with her flight.

They can do pretty much anything, like a djinn almost. But they're really really greedy. They'd sooner take your money then actually use it to help you."

Basically if they're being stubborn you can just poke or press down on it. It gives them a really great feeling and they'll listen to you better. It can also be a bit addicting if used to much.. Every once in a while works best cause trust me the last thing you want is a clingy mimic."

An expressive and natural-looking humanoid face. Our personality seems to default to male, so go with that. We need a face that will inspire confidence and loyalty. Being attractive probably wouldn't hurt either.

And we should have a voice to match. I'm not sure what's generating our voice right now, but it's probably artificial and we can probably upgrade it. It should be smooth, strong, and compelling. The voice of someone who can be trusted and persuade people of things.

We'll also want to sculpt our body into a more closely humanoid form, so that we can wear armor or clothing and appear natural.

I suspect that none of those are as easy as slapping new guns on us, but we'll need them at some point. Speaking of guns, deadlier guns wouldn't hurt.

Argh. I really don't want to use directly forceful disciplinary measures on any of our three original servants.

ugh, just hit some points up there. She should curve your way a little with at least letting her know that you don't just think of her as your servant, ally, or just tactically useful as a tinkerer. She's a real friend, at least whatever kinds of friendship a construct can make or understand.

It, guh, did collapse on itself. Like I just want to pick a few parts from it that did sound like they worked, but couldn't figure out what did. Just really wanted the best friend thing to get across like I said at the bottom. Because, let's be honest here, she is like our most important servant, even if admitting it and Em and Rose, just for complexity, did show up and it'll hurt their feelings. I really do not know how The overlord or a construct's mind works so like I don't know how he feels. It was just very important to establish that holy shit, he's the Overlord. Romance with a servant or even implying it is below him. Also, actually just trying to manipulate her into telling her what was wrong so we could deal with it.

>>360588
but, thank god, overlord was smart enough to try and get that across with very simple words, though.

All right, just give us a face that can emote properly. That's what is important. I guess nothing that gives an uncanny valley feeling. Villainous goatee is a must. So Bald Edward Norton from American History X or Dirty, rugged Robert Downey Jr. from Sherlock Holmes.

My point was that we should probably go for a more abstract 'face' (like the eye icon), as that sidesteps the uncanny valley of a talking statue, while also looking mysterious.

I support this one, I think. Basically all of pudding's push the "sinister bishi" bit way farther than I think wise. The bald with beard look makes the overall appearance more mature and confident rather than the messy wild hair, which mostly makes us look like an insane punk.

And the goatee, while classically evil, isn't aggressively evil, which is what we're trying to avoid. Crazy grins, spikes, sinister tattoos, that sort of thing are all no.

We already had an eye for a face before, and that worked out fairly well for expressiveness.

I think that if we are going to go with a humanoid face, we should go with a more abstract one, as an animated realistic face is very hard to make, and an inanimate realistic face is incredibly creepy.

These two famous sinister hair and facial hair combos are also ones I would support, but I hate manipulating images or trying to imagine one on these doll things, so I'm just putting them down.

In fact, I think I have a little bit of a mancrush on Rah's sideburns, though the vincint price stache also has it's charm. Decisions, decisions. They both pretty much have the same hair though. Maybe mix'em all together, soul patch, vincent suave stache with killer sideburns

My assumption was that between Styx's remarkable skill and using magic instead of technology, we will not have a horrible uncanny valley face. If that's all she can get us, abort and go for something abstract, sure, but I suspect she'll pull through with something that looks fairly natural.

Making an animated realistic face involves components that are either flexible or otherwise shape-changing. As our body is made of metal, we can't really get pieces which are that flexible without magic (or joints, but those fall under either abstract or uncanny).
If we can get shape-shifting metal body pieces, then that opens up quite a few practical possibilities.

Man. We've been kindof neglecting our original units in the rush to repair the base and get hero troops, haven't we? I think now that it is mostly operational we should start taking more requests for tasks.

But yeah, as far as tending to our units is concerned, first we should see if we can cure Nix via removing her glands using the slime claw. That is a thing we can do immediately and we have no reason to delay it aside from making sure it won't kill her.

The problem with healing her before the sacs can regenerate is that, at present, they're supposed to be there, so healing would just restore the sacs. The idea behind the surgery is that cauterizing the area after removing the sac and glands will prevent their regeneration.

Now, to be honest I think there must be a better way of helping her than mutilating her. As her condition manifests as a subclass, looking into all of the rules regarding those strikes me as the best way of dealing with it. Let's ask Megan about them the next time we see her.

The translator is done and already attached to Lenion. Right now let's see wahtwe can do with Nix..

You summon her up to Styx's chamber.

"Well Styx you performed one miracle today. Do you think you can cure her?"

>"Cure.. Most likely not. Make her better? That is within reason. She can no feel pain so long as there is venom going through her, besides any needle I try to stick her with will simply dissolve. That negates the need for painkillers. It would be best if she were conscious anyway.. My Lord, get that fire wand and get ready to cauterize the wound when I tell you to."

You grab a wand and stand by Styx. She rolls up a sleeve on Nix's robe and with surgical precision cuts off a small lump of greenish flesh.

>"Now."

You activate the wand and press it against the wound causing the flesh to burn. Judging from the look on Styx's face the smell is not pleasant. After a moment you take the rod off and look at her arm. The skin on it is scarred but the poison sac isn't healing.

A potion will suffice, no need to drag another minion in here. You try to use some of the potion on Nix's arm but you can see the green fluids that make up the sake starting to reform. Styx quickly cuts it out again.

>"Stop that. Now tell me, do you want me to continue or not?"

"... Fine. But not to many. Just enough to make her better."

Styx takes off Nix's robe and continues cutting out the poison sacs outside and inside her skin while you quickly burn the wounds closed. As you are cauterizing another one on her arm Nix's eyes snap open and she shoves you away. She looks around and for the first time speaks.

You're going to be better. Maybe not completely cured, but your mind is back. We're going to keep looking for better techniques, but this works.
Right now I need you to lie down and relax; maybe you could tell me about yourself? Hopes, dreams, fond memories?"

Kass's sisters are probably pretty used to comforting the sick, dying, and/or traumatized. They can help her work this out, and once they've seen that we've brought a plague-spreader back to being a thinking feeling being we can ask them to send word of this to Abel and ask that the angels, after testing this and proving to their satisfaction that it isn't a deception, send an angel adept at healing research to help you continue searching for better treatments, a cure, and ultimately ways to vaccinate against it and easily cure victims.

Of course, once they join our side we could deploy them in battle...

"The poison sacks regrow if they aren't treated and healing causes them to grow back, so the only other option is to make it so they CAN'T grow. It seems though that the only way to stop them from regrowing is to burn them. Don't worry though, I promised I would cure you, so we'll do our best.

------------------------------------

You and Styx continue the operation until most of the poison sacks are removed. Styx thinks there are still a few tiny ones spread around but they're simply impossible to reach. With the amount removed though she should be 'healed' for the most part. The burn scars should fade with time.

You go out and tell the clerics and paladin as Styx gets Nix dressed. They're all amazed at what you accomplished. Styx enters the main room.

>"My Lord, she's awake. Most of her memories of her time before she was a plaugespreader are gone but she still remembers you. Hopefully as the poison leaves her brain she'll remember more. Oh... She still can spit up a less lethal/plaugespreader-turning grade of her poison. Nix, come here."

A completely different Nix enters the room. She's wearing the Leather Armor + you had with a wooden sword at her side.

To be quite honest, I don't trust them one bit. We could announce we have a cure, sure, and we have these guys to back us up in public, but we're not going to give it away.

We can just charge a moderate fee to administer the cure. Like, say, 1000 gold? Considering the prices in the mage tower, I'd say that's dirt cheap.

"Well, how do you feel?"

She looks around for a moment then just starts crying. Between the sobs she manages to choke out a thank you for healing her and that she'll do anything to repay this debt. You have Kassandra talk to her and explain how the place is run while you go with Styx to speak with Makie.

>Makie: "Overlord. I am simply amazed by your work. I had you figured completely wrong before."

"It's fine Makie, that was to be expected. I was wondering if you or your friend could heal scars."

>"Of course. Who needs healing?"

You gesture to Styx.

>"Not a problem. Eirin, please heal this girl."

You see Styx smile as she goes with the monk.

>Makie: "Overlord I was wondering if we could spread the news about your cure? The healers around the world would surely love to hear about such a thing. If you tell me how you did it that would be even better."

"I'm sorry Makie but I'm not quite prepared to share the cure just yet."

Not sure we should outright say it's slime claws.

More along the lines of "Because an item needed to get it is the body-part of a sentient creature. We got ours by bartering for ones that weren't attached to one anymore, but others would be unlikely take such care. If word should spread, then they'd likely be hunted, possibly to extinction.

Why not stick with the truth?
This was a experiement, the long term effects are unknown and as she still reads as a Plague Spitter, one cannot speak of a full cure. For all we know, it only takes longer for the poison to regrow. Imagine a "cured" Plague Spreader walking through a lively town, suddenly succombing to the disease and spreading it to the innocent townsfolk.

Therefore we need more time to improve and perfect the prozedure. If people came running to us before our research is complete, it may ruin everything.

If this came to light then there would be a market for their parts. At best monsters in human skin would murder them for their parts to sell at high prices, but the more devious ones would breed them for slaughter.
That's not even considering the horrors that would be unleashed if somebody used this incomplete treatment to make an army of intelligent infected.

Tell her you think it's too soon to safely realease the cure, since it's only a partial cure and you still need to monitor Nix's progress.

Also tell her this >>361173. And that we should speak with our suppliers first.

I say that instead of selling the cure, we should sell the tools. Make a commercial agreement with the slimes to buy their claws for a fair price, we craft the scalpels and sell them. This would give us less of a monetary profit, but it would give us PR points and make us indispensable instead.

In addition to telling her the whole extinction thing. If we can get a steady source of income from the side business of selling the partial cure and everything, we can easily make a comeback. We're going to have to patent the procedure before we reveal the cure to the world.
"Please wait until I can get the legal procedures underway. To stop a market from poaching the parts legally and to patent the thing. If you find or have loved ones turned plaguespreaders until then, please send word to me, I'll incapacitate the feral spreader and cure her to the point I can.

In all fairness, we do have a bit of an advantage when it comes to Abel. This, is a good act. A VERY good act. If he attacked us due to past notions, people would question him even if they are lawful stupid. We keep it civil, ask for one angel to see if we can further improve the cure, and that's it.

Besides, we still have beatrice to worry about. If she does have a cure, we need to send ours out first before she gets a foot hold. The funds, publicity and other factors would allow her to easily build up an army and I would much rather deny her such a thing.

Besides, it's obvious we exist now. If the church knew, then Ruby's mage guild will know as well.

You know what, go with that.

Do clarify that you didn't develop a cure but a treatment for the symptoms. That is, her mind is restored and she doesn't leak acid everywhere and is much less infectious. But she is still technically a plague-spreader and still capable of infecting others, albeit at a much reduced level.

However, do spread around that we will be delighted to perform this treatment for those poor infected people bring to you here. I recommend we do it for free or fairly cheap. It will garner good will which we could then cash on via fundraisers for our research (we have a successful track record to back it up too); the fundraisers again double as good PR machines.
And we should be able to raise more money that way then via individual payments for cures.

how about phrasing the pricing as "to support further development and deployment of the treatment" with those who cannot afford it being able to apply for financial relief in that regard. We do a certain number of free treatments, charge little, but morally pressure people with more wealth to donate to the cause.

To cap it all off, if someone notices us spending some of that money on armaments we have a justification... We know an evil and insane being has a full cure and are trying to capture her both to protect the world and to extract the secret. And of course, don't spend EVERYTHING on armaments. DO hire / capture extra healers to work on researching a full cure... Honestly, I Would not even go with healers but focus on things that can alter a being's status. Like corruption potion turns a healer into a necromancer, seek some sort of alchemy or transmuter that can turn a plague spreader into a human.

You don't want to tell this Abel person anything. You have a very bad feeling about him.

By the same token, most of what demons know about humans was learned from heroes coming over to crusade against demons. Make no mistake, most demons are pretty terrible, but not all of them.
I'm fumbling a bit here, but the point I'm trying to make is that it's wrong to judge other groups by the worst of them, and it's important to continually review what you know so you can make the best choices possible.

She backs away from Leon and stares at you.

>"Winner, you look different."

Leon takes the chance and runs off.

Ahhh, now it makes sense. No wonder she joined us. We won the fight and since she likely follows the 'strong leads the weak' code, she obeys us.

Can you stop giving our minions permission to go wandering off, please? Kassandra was bad enough, but at least we knew that she wouldn't immediately get up and go; Lenion is a much less known quantity. If our minions want to leave, they should be asking us for permission to go, not taking advantage of blanket permissions that we've thrown around rampantly in hopes of extra morale. We won't be a dick about it then, but they should be the one asking us and bringing it up.

We can give them leave after a week or two, but right now we are in a delicate situation and need every last person. We're playing the nice ruler, but our ability isn't called "enslave" for nothing. What's more, people who work for us might be in danger of getting killed if they go wandering on their own, because people don't like us and that may mean they don't like our minions by extension.

Megan did not once talk to us about sex other than poking the mimic is bound to be a bad idea.

Finally, Lenion is from a tribe who picks their position through strength. Multiple mates means competition which can mean her trying to reach the alpha position by RIPPING OUT THEIR THROATS. None of these things I see as good.

You decide to visit the Tribal Village. For once the village isn't completely obliterated.
People who look similar to Lenion travel about carrying baskets. A few of them are accompanied by beasts of various shapes and sizes. In the center of the village there is a larger building with markings on it and two guard towers.

You need to look at the questdis. It was discussed there. The rings have a single charge that is used upon reviving a unit. So we can keep it equipped on our squishies, and it will be used when we need it.

It will cost a whole bunch to recharge them, but it's well worth it.

A ? encounter seems interesting. If only to try it out. I would almost say, let Lenion do it to have some fun.

they aren't consumed, they just use a charge. and it would act as a double health. on lenion that makes her HP VERY impressive. ad if she doesn't drop to 0 hp it wont activate. so basically, if e need it, it's there. if not then we can still use it later.

Revive rings all have 1 charge that acts only when a unit is killed in battle. When used the unit is immediately brought back with full health but can not move the next round.
The ring then loses it's charge. The charge can be... Well charged again for a fee.
The ring is not bound to a character and can even be put on during the Item Phase!
Revive Rings are awesome! Any other questions go in the DIS.

Can Lenion equip the shoes? If she can, she should run to the X in this picture. Once she does that, it'll only have one square that puts it out of our range.

But first buy Nix a Rank 2 Sword rather then her wooden one and equip her with Burst Shoes. Decent hp, decent damage, immune to certain types of attacks, and can apply paralysis to her sword every turn. Upping speed to close quicker for quick paralysis is smart, and none of our units should be using something as crap as a wooden sword.

Slimes, yay I guess? Let's bring Lenion for taming purposes and put her up right next to that one slime. Let's not bring Nix since I doubt slimes care about poison, instead get Kass and put her in the middle rear square. We'll test out her new summon. Then put Solaris in the back left square I want to see what she can do when she isn't a healer.

I'd have to say that this may be a good way to learn what Broww can do. Pitting her against other slime girls will help us figure if her metamorphosis allowed her to keep some of her human talents of archery(they did throw slime if I recall).

Leonine can help in terms of getting more slimes, and Ruby can provide heavy fire support.
>>
No. 365418 ID: 40cb26

>>365411
Oh yeah good thinking, but let's leave off the bit where we're buddy buddy. Just ask if they are allies of the elder slime and leave it at that until they reply. If yes they are with him then we can state our own allegiance. If they don't aren't with it, or attack anyway, then we'll hold nothing back.

>>365412
Broww isn't combat capable at the moment, maybe only as tough as a level 1 slime. Can't use any bows in that form, and hasn't learned how to throw slime yet either. Of course if we capture one of these slimes they might be able to help with that, and Lenion will have that covered. Also I'm pretty sure Broww is a guy. Well, was.

I'd be fine with Ruby if we weren't surrounded. Let's keep only where she can take defensive advantage of her long range.

Hmm... you know, even if this slime is a friend of the elders, I don't think we need to worry much about it. We're going to tame the leader here anyways. It'll be fine I'm sure.

Lenion should move forward a square and attack the unique slime with her whip.

Solaris should move and use a normal attack the bottom left slime.

The one on the right can then be blasted by Kass' energy beam thing, just so we can see it in action. We'll save the angel for when someone has taken damage, in case the effect is randomly healing. Move her left two squares next to Solaris afterwards.

"Can cast Tame on defeated Beast Type Units at the end of battle. Limit 1 per battle."-From the wiki

Don't worry about killing any particular one last. Tame doesn't work off of order. It's just cast/used at the end of the fight.

On second thought... do Slimes count as beast type? Either way, it doesn't matter. I don't feel the need to recruit a slime for any reason other than to fuel Lenion's Bestial attack.

Anyway, Lenion can attack any one of the slimes, her choice. Kass will Magical Beam! The same slime. Solaris should use growth(and next turn we will begin attacking with her), the +5 damage will be nice, in case the slimes have some damage reduction or something.

You introduce yourself to the Slime Queen. She nods and accepts your leadership position. Transitioning her into the castle should be easy enough.

You decide that everyone's been through a lot today and that it's time to rest.
After returning to the castle you introduce the Slime Queen, who's name is Qu, to the rest of your group. She seems to take a liking to Leon.

As you sit down and look out a shattered window you think about the day.
Many things happened, some good and some bad.
