We should have checked what the disguises he was offering were in the first place.

Grab the cloth, see what you can do with it.

Well crap.

Darkmoon seems to have no problem using the cloth and robes to create a good disguise. She helps Totenkopf put on his, who struggles to keep it on.
>"Who in damnation wears these kind of clothes anyway?"
, he complains.
>"Hey! Tis is beink traditional clothes of my kingdom. Not to be mockink it.
>..Though they are smellink like dust and moths. Bah."

Though they don't appear monstrous anymore, the foreign wear still makes them stand out a bit.

>>4349
GIGGLE AT THEIR SILLY LOOK

We've got a pretty stylin' group going on there.

>>4349

Tell Darkmoon she looks kind of hot in that outfit.

Guess we should start heading to the princess' tower then.

>>4349
Let's just tell ourselves that it'd be even worse if we'd only offered ten gold.

"Before we try speaking with someone in charge, we should get this gem appraised. Do you know any good, honest ones, Axebeard?"

>>4349
mMke your way towards the princess' tower. Use alleys when possible. Cross crowded areas quickly, but not so quick as to arouse suspicion.

We're gunna get caught.

Then we're gunna get in big big trouble.

Then we're going to have to cause more trouble to get out of it.

That's going to probably level the city all by itself.

We shoulda taken the quest.

>>4354
Dont mack on tote's girl.

just tell them they both look awesome.

>>4350
>GIGGLE AT THEIR SILLY LOOK
We're wearing panties.

>>4358
That would've gotten us into trouble too. At least this way we'll have problems with the main sidequest and not the side sidequest.

Mudy assures them they both look great. The two look more confident.
He then asks Axebeard to lead the way to the castle. They try to move through alleyways and avoid crowded areas when possible, but with the disguises are alot more free to move.

Finally they make it to the only gate to the castle Axebeard knows off. It's an enormous wellguarded gate right at the edge of a busy square.
There is alot of loud music and singing going on. When suddenly the church bells start to ring as well, the soundlevel is getting near unbearable.

>>4363

Ask Axebeard to throw you on top of/over the wall.

Ask if Totenkopf can summon an imp or something to cause a small distraction for the guards.

Remove SKULL from HAT.

Wrap SKULL BOW CLASP with BIT OF CLOTH the HAT SKULL is attached to.

You'll look slightly less enemy-like.

Mudy asks if Totenkopf can summon an imp to distract the guard. Totenkopf raises his hand, and a small devil rises up from the ground.
The entire crowd on the square cry out in excitement, and dance around it. They sing to it to dance with them.
The devil, unable to resist music and dance, gives in and joins the crowd in their festivities.

The churchbells continue to ring. Mudy isn't going to last much longer with all this noise banging on his tiny eardrums.

>>4380
Curse our handsome ears. Make a break for the vines now that the crowd is distracted.

>>4380

Cover your ears. Tell Darkmoon it's her turn to try to get the guard out of the way.

Without killing him.

>>4380

>Bard
>hates noise

hoboy, see if axebeard can throw you over the wall, tell them to meet up with ivar and the others and uh..... Ok first we need a meeting point.

>>4385
Yes because you couldn't possibly break something landing.

>>4380
Well if that won't distract the ceremony, ask Totenkopf to collapse the top of the belltower.

GET AXEBEARD TO TOSS YOUR FAGGOT ASS OVER THE WALL SO YOU FLY THROUGH THE GOD DAMNED CHURCH WINDOW AND PUNCH THAT FAGGOT GROOM IN THE FACE RIGHT BEFORE HE KISSES THE PRINCESS

To hell with the princess, we should go after Raital.

>>4391
>>4390
Both of these simultaneously.

>>4393
Technically we're using the princess to get help, not to get the princess.

... We dont actually have to crash the wedding now that i think about it, though she'll probably be more willing to make consessions for us (granting an audience with the king) before marriage, aaaaaaaanyway. About getting over that fence..

Mudy finally realizes what the churchbells mean! He yells to Axebeard to toss him over the wall.
His generals are stunned with confusion, but Axebeard recognizes the dire tone of Mudy's voice.
>"Aye, me lad!"
He grabs Mudy by the back of his cloak.

Remember to roll with the fall!

Or land in a bush.

"I OBJEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECT!"

thats a shady looking guy..

Our first action of Chapter 11 (bankruptcy) will be to lob baseless accusations at this guy due to his appearance.

No, we only need to object because THE PRINCESS LOOKS FUCKING MISERABLE.

Also, the reason why there are no monster races allowed now? Us! All us. They must have heard about our story and someone(probably the guy marrying her) didn't want to risk us coming back.

>>4420
It's probably better to try and inspire the princess to back out. I think it's safe to say that she's unhappy with this marriage, and if no one else will believe us, she will... I hope.

>>4423

I don't think she CAN back out of the marriage.

Now the old woman from Princess Bride needs to arrive and back us up.

"BOOO! BOOOOOOO! BOW TO HER! BOW TO THE QUEEN OF FILTH! THE QUEEN OF SLIME! BOOOO!"

>>4424
But Mudy's so awesome he could get her to run away... Too bad we didn't plan an escape.

>>4424
Well then we'll just have to stab him in the OH GOD WE DON'T HAVE OUR DAGGER

FFFFFFF- we didnt think this far into the plan!

>>4429
And now we're surrounded by a bunch of goody two shoes elves who see kobolds as evil monstrosities, yay.

We should have been more tactful with ratguy, the side-quest might have been useful.

>>4429

We're Mudy. We'll figure something out.

We always do.

Also, to back up a bit: If we were Raital's little brother, don't you think she'd recognize us?

>>4433
And we'd be a half bold.

>>4417
I bet if we knew he looked like that we'd have been way more frantic in stopping this.

>>4433
We could technically still be her little brother. Depends on if they use the concept of half-brother. But we haven't developed any weird half-demon powers or whatever yet, so I think we're fine.

Also, I don't necessarily think it's 100% bad that Raital took the betrayal sword with her when she left - she could be using it to betray her siblings/father right the fuck now. (Unlikely, but we can hope.)

>>4458
They're all tougher than her. If she tries anything, she's screwed.

I'm thinking game of wits to prove thats not high lord elfy elfsteel elfington or whatever his name was.

Hello dear fans,

There will not be a chapter tomorrow.
I have to give my hand some rest!
Instead there will be some bonus content and extras to start Volume 3 with.

Meanwhile I'd like to encourage everyone to keep the discussions going!

Thanks for enjoying.
-Reaver

>>4503
Dude, this shit is awesome, thanks for running it.

Just out of curiosity, I'm wagering that you have a background in animation, right?

>>4503
Current topic of speculation: Is that Hello Tom or Hello Rudy on his shirt? One would assume Rudy given it's Reaver, and yet Tom is more prone to the sort of distant stare so depicted.

>>4505
Comics, actually, but I have been told a few times that my comics sometimes look more like animation storyboards.

>>4512
The freedom of speculation always beats that of a straight answer!

>>4503
Mudy, you loose kobold, pull your shirt up right now. What, do you want random strangers to rub your nose?

>>4512
It's not scowling, so that makes it more Tom-like.
But it has both it's eyes, so that makes it more Rudy-ish.

>>4514
I'm not really surprised, but now I am curious as to what comics you did.

In any case, Mudyquest has been fun so far. Keep up the good work.

>>4514
I guessed animation because you were able to get things drawn so quickly with such detail, which you learn to do if you ever have to do in-betweens. Either way, it's top-notch stuff.

>>4515
Would it surprise you if I said... yes?

>>4522
To be honest?

No.

(whore)

You know, I think Reaver depicts kobolds best. Reaver's kobolds have a realistic head-shape that an actual creature could realistically have, and yet they retain the cuteness of a traditional cutebold.

Kudos.

The second we get a minute sideways, we need to get some background information.

In chapter one, we were trying to look around for kingdoms so we could claim to be the prince of one. It's now chapter ten and we still don't have one. If someone asks us who we're the prince OF, we're just going to stand there confused.

>>4503
>There will not be a chapter tomorrow.
>I have to give my hand some rest!

What've we told you about too much nose rubbing, young 'bold?

We might need to rethink our cover story. What are the thoughts here?

>>4640

I think we should tell the princess the truth. Not like right now, but when we can have a moment alone with her. Worst case scenario, it removes her from the romantic equation and allow us to pursue Raital at full-force. Best-case scenario, she convinces her dad to help us in our quest.

>>4646
I see your worst case scenario and I raise you "YOU LIED TO ME? GUARDS! OFF WITH HIS HEAD!"

>>4647

After rescuing the princess from marrying that ugly motherfucker, she's bound to be grateful enough to at least let us leave alive.

We could tell the half truth.

"Okay. Actually I woke up in a magic box and was teleported here. I'm actually the deposed prince of some country that might not even be in this dimension."

>>4650

Why do we have to continue to be a prince? It's obvious that nobody wants to marry her anymore, and the only reason we were putting on our little prince facade was to impress her dad into allowing us to marry. Now our goal seems to be rescuing Raital, and possibly taking on the Skullking.

>>4651
Because we told EVERYONE our Prince story, and everyone BUYS IT. Coming clean about not being a prince would irreparably damage our reputation with all but maybe Totenkompf, because he's loyal to us for different reasons. We used that prince reputation to get Goldwomb on our side, the elf queen on our side, to lend weight to our opinions as leader, and all sorts of things. Throwing that away is a BAD BAD IDEA.

Nobody would listen to a regular, run of the mill kobold, after all.

>>4652
This. Our only real options are coming clean about being from another world (not that we can remember anything prior to the box!) but insisting we're royal, or sticking with our current story in its entirety and picking a neighboring nation to claim to be from.

>>4652
>Nobody would listen to a regular, run of the mill kobold, after all.

I believe that by now we've established to our teammates that we are not a regular, run of the mill kobold. Even if we ditch the prince facade, it won't change the incredible things we've done. Perhaps our comrades will realize that.

>>4654
We ARE a regular kobold, though. We're just a trained bard with some serious aspirations.

If we ditch our entire backstory at this point, it'll really undermine everyone's trust. If we only ditch part of it, it'll be a bit easier for people to forgive. If we stick to the truth, but we're PROVEN wrong, (not knowing what country we're supposed to be a prince of, clearly not understanding its history or customs, etc) that's even worse.

>>4655

We single-handedly defeated a lich at a battle of wits, gained control of a small army, talked down one of the Skullking's ELITE SOLDIERS, stole the heart of said elite soldier (metaphorically, of course), indirectly saved the life of one of our generals, and gained the trust and adoration of our followers.

We are NOT a regular kobold.

>>4656
Really comes down to your definition of 'regular', dunnit?

All anyone else can see is that we are a regular kobold. So, yes, for every way that counts we are a regular kobold. We are no stronger or faster or different looking.

A few things.

1. The longer we wait to come clean about our past, the more trouble revealing it is going to become. Sooner is better than later.

2. Stop with the alternate world shit before it starts. We have no clue if that true. Also, no spreading guesses to our allies as if they are truth. No. Stop that right now. If we go "oh guess I was wrong" later then that undermines us EVEN MORE.

3. Don't tell the princess RIGHT NOW. Lets solve this problem first before we create another for ourselves. We can have truth telling time later.

I want Rudy Quest back. Being a kobold is a downer.

>>4659
Pffffffft.
Mudy is the Simon to Rudy's Kamina. i.e. THE REAL HERO

>>4665
Kamina WAS the real hero. Simon was a hobo.

>>4665
>>4736

They were BOTH heroes. >:|

Alright, I think I have the solution to our Prince problem.

When we get a free moment, tell the truth to only Totenkompf, and swear him to secrecy. Ensure NO ONE overhears. Then ask him what kingdoms have already been taken over by the skullking, and pick one of those to have been ex-prince of. If the country was known for its diplomacy, all the better.

>>4756
>ask tot to keep major secret from darkmoon
No. Bad. No way.

How about Axebeard? She's been with us since the beginning.

Here's what we can do. We can ask if the princess actually wants to marry this goon. If so, wish her a happy life. If not, save the fuck outta her. After saving, tell her that we have stumbled upon a quest of epic importance that we can only fulfill in this kobold form. (technically true). Tell her to not wait for us and find another prince, for we do not expect to be able to return once the quest is finished. Maybe even namedrop the Skullking as who we're up against. I'm sure she's familiar with that threat, if she's at all listened to politics. Bow, then make a dramatic exit.

Thoughts?

>>4768
Great. Except there's no way it will go anywhere near that smoothly.

>>4770
I left the saving part intentionally vague, as that'd need planning of its own. The charming goodbye might be a slight challenge, but we've proven good at that so far. We've got a silver tounge. We might as well use it to help with this situation.

>>4768

You're forgetting that the princess' dad already tried to force her into marriage once, and odds are rescuing her from this one isn't going to deter him from doing it again.

>>4785

Also, since we are in love with her we can't really leave until we are sure she is safe and waiting us.

I'm sure that outing him as a monster or a fiend will do the trick - not many elves have snakelike tongues and serrated teeth.

Forgetting the part where we need an audience with the king.

>>4826

I think he's attending the wedding we just crashed.

Might be better to tell him his kingdom is under attack in private.

>>4828
Judging from this marriage, I think the king is being mind controlled. It seems best to make such an announcement in public.

>>4829
Fair enough!

OK board is working again! Could we have some of the delicious extras/bonus content?
