Last post from previous thread

Just like when you entered the Cakewalk, the unbridled sun forces you to squint until you get used to the new level of luminosity. The scent of grass and the chirping of small birds hits your nose and ears, while the pleasant breeze in the sunlight makes for a quite welcoming weather.
This side of the portal you just got through rests on a small horizontal space on the cliff side of a rocky peak, getting you a nice view of the plane in front of you. Somewhat, Fangs seems extra amazed by the landscape.

First, you’re quick to notice the actual cathedral, which rests atop of a hill in the distance. It’s quite far, and it is surrounded by a forest.

Then, there’s a meadow lying in front of you. And a little further, the wavy row of trees indicate the possible presence of a river, making for quite an inviting place to rest and cool off.

Finally, there’s another peak, not so fat, on which you can see the swirling colours of what you suppose is another portal.

You decide to head for the river. Getting down the rocky formation and crossing this plain will probably take you a while, and you’re already a little tired form today’s events.

After half an hour of climbing down, you find yourself in the meadow bellow. Treading on tall, fresh grass is relaxing compared to a moldy soil of sticky cake. Probably thanks to the occult skull you carry, you can even come very close to several hares. You could probably hunt quite easily around here if you get familiar with the plane. Still, for now you disregard the fast-running morsels to reach the river.

The shadow of the trees and the sound of the water is soothing, and you let out a breath of relief. You’re gonna take a break here. The pristine mood reminds you a little of your home jungle, in a less… savage way, though.
However, soon you realize there’s someone else around, as you notice voices not too far away from you.

You slither closer, until you can get a glimpse of the talking ponies behind the bushes. There’s two of them discussing.
“Comu on…” you hear the bird-like mare whimpers. “Dere hazu tsu bii somushingu ai codu givu yu…”
“I’m sorry, but think of my other customers, brave lady…” The clothed pony answers, shaking his head “I cannot give you charity if I want to provide fair deals to everyone.”
You think they haven’t noticed you yet.

>What do?

>>29707741
Can we understand what they're talking about?

>>29707741
Oh it's a cute little Tengu with a thingy.

>>29707741
Let's say hi. They're talking about trading and we have stuff to get rid of.

>>29707741
>my other customers
I think he means us sisters. Time to meet the locals.

>>29707741
What do our sisters think?

>>29707724
>poster card
Kek.
Now i wanna play card games on shattered planes.

>>29707741
Does she want the sword the 'pony is selling to her? Typical weeaboo race. Adorable is what it is.

>>29707741
Buy the poor pony some food.

>>29707987
We ain't no charity. Do we know if she even wants any food?

>>29707741
>“Comu on…” you hear the bird-like mare whimpers. “Dere hazu tsu bii somushingu ai codu givu yu…”
>“I’m sorry, but think of my other customers, brave lady…” The clothed pony answers, shaking his head “I cannot give you charity if I want to provide fair deals to everyone.”
Sex. Sex is always the answer. Just like in one of those steamy novels we'd pick off the carcasses of outsiders.

>>29707741
Ask the mare if she has any objects she could trade with us so she can use what we give her to trade with the trader.

“Other customers?” You smirk “I think he’s talking about us, sisters. Don’t you think?”
“Yeah, it’s not like any of those chump looks dangerous” Froth answers.
“I’m all for having less stuff to carry” Fangs add “Let’s introduce ourselves.”

You come out of the bushes, almost immediately, the bird-like mare jumps on her feet.
“UWA!” She exclaims, preparing to draw her weapon “A dekkai suneku-suneku caimu auto!”
“H-holy coin!” The clothed pony start to shakily back away, sounding more than a little intimidated “Well… I must inform you I am entirely inorganic, dear snake persons!”
“No need to fear.” You declare to the two ponies in front of you, smirking at the sight of their fear “We came here to trade.”
“T-tureido? Uso!” the bird barks back “Ai donto beri-”

“Oh! Pardon me!” The clothed pony cuts the bird, as he steps forward to give you a respectful bow “I let your impressive appearance distract me from my obligations, dear snake persons. How shameful of me… You want to trade? Well, you came to the right pony! Capitalrisk at your service! But I must confess, while I could imagine what kind of goods would our feathered friend wanted” He nods toward the awestruck bird pony “I have no idea what a being of your stature may need.” He continues in a suave voice “So please tell me what you desire, and I’ll see what I can provide.”
“Or perhaps… you want to sell?” He adds after observing you in silence for a second “I sense you’re carrying several artefacts of value. I could make you profit from them if you find them no use.”

“For a start…” You turn to the bird pony, which is a little at a loss about what to do since the merchant pony made his tirade. “Do You want to trade? Are you trying to get some food?”

>>29708545
“Sorewa…” She tries to think for an answer, but the merchant pony quickly takes back the hold on the conversation.
“Ah, do not care about her.” He shakes his hooves “She left with only her sword on her back, and won’t hear that I do not need a bodyguard right now. Let’s get down on our business. And I don’t carry food around anyway.”

>What do?

>>29708551
The little Tengu is looking to be a bodyguard you say? I'm interested. Put away your toothpick and speak, small fry.

>>29708545
You don't look like you're carrying much. What do you have to offer?

>>29708545
Got something we can use as armor?

>>29707724
Fangs is smart waifu

>>29708545
So what are you, Capitalrisk?

>>29708551
We can trade a cutlass, an arm plate, a blunderbuss, a small jar of black powder, a small jar of lead shots, a bundle of bolts, a toolbox, medical supplies, 5 gems and the nylon.
I don't think anything of that could be useful for us since we're either to big for it, or we just regenerate.

Guys. I think we should keep the Tengu. Think about all the things we can accomplish in a timely manner, like writing things down, or working with small complex devices.

>>29708551
>>29708708
Why not keep the arm plate? It makes an excellent neck protector.

>>29708731
Right, forgot we actually managed to use that.

>>29708551
What can you two tell us about this plane and the Outsiders that come here?

>>29708719
I agree. We could use somebody with arms.

>>29708719
>>29708861
Someone to crouch into tiny spaces.

>>29708903
crouch into hydra butts

I should really think of some rap for Faze so she can spit fire and lay down a sick roast.

>>29708545
Our sword is bigger. Show em Fangs.

>>29708999
Hydras don't have butts.

Sorry. Got sidetracked wathcing political debate. One more update befroe bed.

>>29709840
W-well actually, See you tomorrow

>>29708551
Whatever we do do not trade our blanket.
Ask if he has any explosives.

We should hire the tengu tell him it would not be so much a bodyguard job as helping with things that require a smaller stature while we search for our new home after the destruction of our old one. Although there would likely be times we are attacked as well.

I am tempted to sell that stealth artifact as it is more trouble them it is worth but we can probably just leave that behind at our first base we establish then we can go back for it it if we need it.

>>29708551
>>29710330
>anons does not even bother to grammar good.
Ok. There's not much I can do about it, but ok.
I've grow rather fond of this little artifact being sneaky with the trade off being a menacing aura? Anon please. Like a menacing aura is an issue for a hydra.

>>29712426
When was it said it had a menacing aura? I meant it made us to sneaky we called out a bunch to the skeletons and nobody came.

>>29712465
It was a while back. I believe it was when we talked to that one skeleton that was tending to the cows. He was explaining how they would come from other planes or something and their traits.
What about it being sneaky? How is that an issue?

>>29712505
We literally could not get the skeletons to notice us despite trying our hardest.
I am fine with keeping it but first safe drop off point we get we should leave it behind and just come back if we need it.

>>29712554
But think about the tactical advantage we would have at our disposal. Avoiding creatures far stronger than us, sneaking up on unsuspecting prey (more food, less energy expended for hunting). What's a little little surprise compared to that huh?

>>29712637
Maybe we could seek out a way to turn it off when needed.
Although if we do keep the birb then only one of us will have the affect.

I would say we keep the thing as the tengu probably already knows stealth then the tengu can reveal itself if it needs to.

>>29713007
>birb
Kek I meant to say bird here I memed accidentally.

>>29708551
Boop her.

>>29713007
Why don't we ask our sisters?

I want to keep the stealthy-stealth skull.

While that merchant seems like he could be useful, you’re way more interested in that other pony. Capitalrisk says he doesn’t need help, but you’d be glad to have a couple of finer and more dexterous hooves around.
“So you want to be a bodyguard?” You close up on the bird pony, disregarding the vendor which looks a little bit annoyed. “Speak up, little one. I’m interested.”

“Jitsuwa…” She lowers her blade “I’m not here for that. But then I met Fuku-san and he showed a really kakkoi sword…” She blushes, looking a little embarrassed “Datte… I had, no money, so I asked him if I could be his yojimbo instead.”

Somehow, you managed to get a hold on the bird-pony’s horrible accent, and you’re a little more comfortable understanding what she says. But the few foreign words she uses still make you cringe.
“Huh…” You raise an eyebrow. You’re not sure how you’re gonna have her follow you around in that case. “So, what are you here for actually?”

“Sorewa, I heard there was a warrior order on this plane. And that they were super tsuyoi and kakkoi!” She clenches her fists in determination “Watashi wa tsuyoku ni naritai! I want to learn their techniques and become the strongest warrior!”

“Woah! Sounds exticting!” Fangs pulls out her own sword, and gives the bird a friendly boop “I’ve been getting into swordsponship myself recently!”
“Sugoi!” The bird pony cheerfully exclaims. “I didn’t know even suneku-san would be into swords. Swords are really the coolest thing ever!”

“Yeah, that’s what all tengus say.” Capitalrisk disdainfully barges in the conversation “Hence why I wanted to sell her a sword, but I didn’t realise she was broke. Something you aren’t, right?”

>>29715917
“Right…” You answer the vendor “But what are you actually? You don’t look like you carry much stuff around for a merchant.”
“Dear snake persons, know that I feel the quality of my wares for my body IS the wares I carry!” He pulls on one of his seams, revealing the glitter of gold behind “If you wanted a proof about how high-class my merchandise is, know that I am a treasure golem, and I take great pride in taking care of my body!”

“Alright, then I have things to sell you.” You declare.
“Hm?” He observes you as you empty the items from your bag, looking a little disappointed “In all that junk, only the gems and black powder are interesting. I’m no scrap dealer, and I get quality wares by only buying quality!”

“And what about you?” You ask “Would you have some protections for us?”
“For defence? Let me see…” Capitalrisk begins to search for something behind his fabric. “Aha! That will surely suit you!” He declares, as he brings out a shiny chainmail from his midsection. From its size and shape, you should be able to protect one of your other necks with that.
“In addition from being made of the finest steel, this mail is also enchanted to be as pliable as silk while keeping its resistance.” Capitalrisk explains.
“Alright” You nod “We’ll see about-“
“BUT!” He cuts you “These mere jewels won’t do. I’m gonna ask you to raise the stakes if you want this.”

Since he already mentioned he knows you carry some occult item, you think he want you to trade what you got from the bone golem. But you’re not exactly ready to sell the skull, the stealth being a really good advantage for somebody as massive as you.
Candy, the ghost who’s started following you explained people won’t hear you until their eyes meet yours, but you’ll have a sinister aura as long as you carry the skull. You’re not sure you should show it to the merchant.

>>29715923
But maybe you could also ask for something to seal away the ill properties of the skull instead. Also maybe you could trade the icy orb?

“We’ll see about that…” You hiss. You feel like this merchant became a little too comfortable with you since you started trading “Don’t you have anything else? And do you happen to know what kind of outsiders are roaming this plane?”

“Naturally! Information is one of my best selling products. I have one of those map the outsiders make for this plane.” He produces some pages from under his hat “I also have some about the natives of this plane too. I’ll give you the five pages against the five gems. Does that sound good to you? Also, I remember outsiders rarely come here anymore. They explored this plane already and didn’t find anything worthy to exploit.”

“Hmm…” You nod “And do you happen to have explosives?”
“Hin, hin… Naturally!” He pulls out a couple of candle like batons, and also little spherical thingys from his coat. Some blue, and others black. “You’d be surprised how much outsiders ask for these. They all think they’re the smartest, getting the same trump card… Anyway, I’ve got regular explosives, flash bombs, and smoke clouds. I’ll take two gems for one in each case.” He offers.

>What do?

>>29715917
I giggling madly in my chair at how cute she is

>>29715923
You know I kind of wonder what's stopping us from smashing him right now. Capitalism is complicated, boring and frustrating.

>>29715917
Are those strange brackets a reference to something?

>>29715931
Information is most useful and the bombs are neat, but we have powers. I wonder how he'd feel about our information? Might not be much, but you never know. Also, one creatures trash is another's treasure and vice versa, so even if he might not value the "scrap" he might be able to find somebody that does and be able to get treasure from them for cheap. Lastly, since the Tengu seems to have no chance to buy the sword, check how much it's worth.

>>29715964
Can't get any future deals from a corpse.

>>29715931
Lets buy the information.
Wish the weeb bird success on her learning.

Apply spoopy skull to Merchant for bartering bonus. This is just a part of bartering you guys. It's all mind games.
Ask for the price of the sharp toothpick. It might be useful for cutting up meat for food.
>>29715982
>>29715999
Why spend our gems for info when we can go ask someone that lives here. The Tengu is searching for some swordsman group that resides on this plane. We can ask them instead.

>>29715982
Deals? More like steals. I bet these treasure golem have a hard on for valuables and as much avarice to match. Not saying we should, just that they might be super jews when trading.

>>29715917
How much was he is he going to sell the sword for? Then ask the Tengu how much he was going to sell it to her for.

>>29716076
>trying to lower prices
nah I would rather take the price offered bartering is stupid at best when we have more goods we can offer alternative deals
>bartering through intimidation
FUCK NO
if we are going to barter do it the old fashioned way I want this guy to like us.

as for info it is incredibly handy to have it all easily accessible.

>>29715931
>>29716076 (my post)
Just to clarify, when I had said Apply spoopy skull to Merchant, I don't don't mean by selling it. I want us to use it's passive sinister aura to maybe get a batter deal.

>>29716076
They are unlikely to have maps.

>>29716164
>No pauses in sentence
>grammar is overrated
Ew. Please stop posting.
Are you not worried about this guy trying to stiff us? To him we're just another 'friend' with cash to spend. And what I want then to do IS the old fashion way. There's a lot of different 'old fashion ways' to bartering, don'cha ya know.

>>29716178
An you know this how? Listen, if they're a group that resides on this plane, then they must know the ins and outs of it. Where to go for the best views, the best deals on swords, etc.

>>29715931
>>29715999
I want to save our gems for something else. Ask him if we can find him later if we change out mind.

>>29715999
The little chickidy has wings. If we can convince her to stick with us then we can she can fly up and look for landmarks that look important.

>>29707724
Looking at the updated maps I wonder if it is taking the god artifact or killing the keeper that makes a plane colapse.

>>29716220
I also assume the rates given are bountys.

>>29716209
We can use that to drive the price down.

You wonder if you could make that merchant a little more compliant with you natural arguments... You get a little closer and loom menacingly over him, casually showing your fangs.

“D-dear snake persons” He immediately speaks up “I regret to inform you that I’ve been dealing with rogues, scoundrels and brutes since said rogues, scoundrels and brutes started flooding the planes.” While he does his best to sounds confident, he can’t completely supress a certain uneasiness in his movement and expression. “I’ll also inform you that I can instantly myself warp back to my home plane should you feel like you’re above doing business with me.”
In the end, he does sound like won’t let fear get in the way of his trade.

Welp, being nice might be a better way to make a good deal after all.
“Alright, sorry about that.” You declare, more laid back, thus easing the tension a little. You’re tempted to buy the pages, especially since Candy can help you read now, but you have good hope you can get them for cheaper somewhere else. Or just ask the natives for directions.

“Also, are you sure you don’t want to buy anything else?” You ask again about your stuff “Someone else might need it, and they’ll give you something good for that ‘junk’ “
“No need to worry yourselves about me” The clothed pony politely shakes his head “I know my business, dear snake persons. And I’ll tell you most prefer going to established trade posts to acquire mundane stuff. I mostly specialise in oddities and the extraordinary.”

“I see… So, how extraordinary I that sword you tried to sell miss tengu over here?”
“This sword?” He solemnly pick it up again “A masterpiece of craftsponship! The greatest steal folded a thousand times over!” You hear the tengu sigh in admiration “And enchanted to be eternally sharp."

>>29716676
"A shame, but once again your simple gems won’t be enough.”

“Then how much is enough?” You retort. “What’s the price?”
“Yeah!” Fangs adds “You haven’t been giving us any price for you wares, did you?”
“And how much was Miss tengu...” You nod in her direction “Offering to get the sword? Is it that expensive?”
“She was ready to offer her services for a year” Capitalrisk answers “But really I do not need any follower. Also, aside from gems, there isn’t much things people use as currency these days. Exchanging an item for another one is how I do in general. And for an item like this sword I’m holding, I would be insane to ask for less than three dozens good-sized gems!”

“Hum… I’ll need time to think, then. Will I be able to find you again?” You ask.
“I’m leaving tomorrow morning.” The merchant answers “Then I’ll head for the Twilight Cove, an adjacent plane. I’ll stay around here before that, just to see if there’s some wandering outsiders passing by.”
“Then I’ll see you later.” You state
“My pleasure.” The vendor respectfully bows to you. But you still detect a slight hint of annoyance in him. Probably because you didn’t buy anything.
“Bye!” Fangs says, as you motion to talk to the tengu again.

“So, you’re heading for the cathedral, right?” You ask her, trying your best to sound friendly. “I’m going there too. Shall we… keep company to each other?”
“I don’t mind.” The bird Pony answers with a smile “You were kinda kowai at first, suneku-san, but now I think you’re nice.”
“My name is Faze actually.” You correct her. “And these are Froth and Fangs.”
“Hajimemashite, Faze-san, Froth-san, Fangs-san!” She bows to you “Watashi wa Tori!”
“It’s… Faze…”
“Soda! Faze-san!” She grins at you.
…

>What do?

>>29716687
No it's, what? My name is Faze, not Faze-son. Where is this son coming from? This a language thing?

“Wait, no, Faze!” you correct her again.
“So! Faze-san!” Tori nods.
“What the… Where does that san came from?” You answer, more and more confused.
“Well it’s your name! Faze-san!”
“But there is no son!” Froth interjects.
“You do look quite young for a son, Froth-san.”
“What?” You sister seems to be about as confused as you are. “What do you mean? What would I get if I was older?”
“Well…” Tori ponders for a second “Maybe, I could address you as Froth-sama”
“Aaah!” Fangs cringes. “Let’s forget it! Let’s just head for the Cathedral!”

Listening to your sister, your little group start making its way through the forest. Unlike the Unearthed Woods, the light of the sun pierces the canopy quite often, and the chirping of birds confirms this plane is teeming with life.
Along the way, you manage to understand adding terminations to people’s name is sort of a cultural thing for Tori, and she’s so used to it she could never saying it. After telling her a little more about you, you also end up asking here where does she come from.

“I came from the Sky Archipelago” She answers “It’s just next to this plane. But you shouldn’t go there since you can’t fly. There’s lots of other tengus like me here, but most of us leave to follow their own way of the bushi.”
“Tengus.” You remember hearing Capitalrisk calling Tori that way “That’s how you people call yourself, right?”
“So!”

>>29723359
A little while later, you arrive in from of the cathedral without encountering anything worth mentioning. You don’t get much of a view since it is in the middle of the forest, but you can guess the stone cathedral is by far the biggest building you’ve ever seen. You’re got to crane up your neck to see the top, and the birds you see flying around the towers look small enough to be several hundred feet away from you. You think there might be openings up there, but you don’t see any way to climb. Aside from that, there’s only the door.

The place is utterly silent aside from the whistling of the wide on the building, but somewhat you’ve got a strange uneasy feeling of uneasiness watching the stone monument. You feel like you don’t belong here.

You remember what Cinnanana told you about how this place is supposed to be inhabited by gargoyles. And from what Tori told you, they probably know how to fight. You come closer to the massive stone doors of the building. While the cathedral is bare of any ornament for the most of it, you find scriptures on the porch over you.

“The halls of Sancta lies beyond these doors.” You read out loud “Enter, and the pure shall find their reward, the sinners, their atonement, and a fitting end for the wretched ones.”
“Err…” Froth seems a little unsure of herself “For which group does we qualify, girls?”
“Well…” Fangs ponders “We’re probably not ‘pure’ but it would also be very rude to call us wretched...”
“Y-yosh!” Tori lets out a huff as she musters her courage. “The way of the bushi is pure! I’m getting inside. What about you?” She turns her pointy snout to you.

>What do?

Only post for tonight. See you tomorrow.

>>29723370
I agree with fangs we are sinners (attacking that caravan, considering rapeing that guy and making those skeleton puns) we seek atonement not a fitting end.

>>29723370
Dunno. Lets watch Tori enter and see if she's pure of heart. Fangs is the one with the magic eyes. Why don't she tell us?

>>29723403
Well that group of caravaners were slavers anyways so who cares. An that rapey vibe we were giving was just an intimidation tactic. But yeah. We're in between wretched and pure, or we're just neutral.

>>29723423
>Well that group of caravaners were slavers anyways so who cares
Yes but at the time we just assumed they were the people who attacked our plane.

>>29723370
Lets go. Make sure to knock before entering, no reason to be rude.

>>29723370
What's Froth worried about? She can just headbutt them to death with that thick skull of hers.

>>29723507
I imagine the fitting end would be getting instantly consumed by magical flames the moment we enter.

>>29723609
Really? I figured a bunch of gargoyles would come out and try to gank us until we left the cathedral.

>>29723609
I should clarify I do not think we will be consumed that is just what probably happens to the wretched.

>>29723624
Yeah. We're just awesome. BUT on the chance of that being the to go way of disposing the wretched, it wouldn't do anything, what with the fire resistance and all. Heh.

>>29723370
That's a big Cathedral.

>>29723370
I feel like entering this place without knowing the actual values or combat capabilities of the inhabitants is a big mistake. A safer bet would probably be to explore the woods a bit more on the off chance we find a cave or some other form of shelter. There's also a chance we meet more inhabitants to pry info out of about said cathedral or shelter locations.

Worst case, we can go back to the salesman to see if he might have info to sell us on a place to take up residence.

Going to bed, have a good night bump

>>29723907
If I take of that stepel will you die.

>>29725656
It would be extremely sacrilegious

>>29725656

>>29725656
It would be extremely expensive to replace.

Shit like this is the ONLY reason we have any chance at being worse than sinners.

>>29727155
Everyone's a sinner to an extent. Even those pure of heart. I'm loving this plane. Lots of easy prey to pic, THANKS to the skull.

>>29723370
When we're at the threshold of the door, stick the tip of our tail in. How funny would it be if something magical tried to immolate us?

>>29723370
How dare this building be bigger than us.
Kind of nerve wracking right? Eat a rabbit as comfort food.

>>29726682
No the gargoyles would make the one who broke it replace it.

“Well, we’re probably in the sinner zone. I mean we’re not particularly evil!” You quickly add as you see the tengu’s worried gaze on you “As long as you don’t make a moral case each time you have to eat of fight something…”
“Y-yeah.” Froth adds. “We should explain these gargoyles how does the rules of nature work.”
“You sound a little scared at the idea, though…” Fangs comment her sister’s obvious lack of resolve. “Do you think you’re not strong enough to fight then?”

“Well…” She looks away. “What if they’re wizards or something? Or what if there’s a swarm of them? I wish we knew a little more.”
“I think we could take them on.” You nod. “Fire, even holy, shouldn’t bother us much.”
You just said that, but without any more information, you don’t feel like getting inside here already. Even if you’re only at sinner level, you’re not sure what the gargoyles mean by atonement… Returning to the merchant pony to buy some pages seems like a decent plan right now. You turn to answer the tengu’s question.

“I’ll… You go first.” You eventually declare. “We still need some time to think.”
“Okay.” Tori nods, and turns to the gigantic (for her) stone door and knocks.

After a few seconds of tense silence, the door opens in a sinister rumble before your small friend. The inside is completely dark, safe from what seems to be a stone fountain shaped like a beautiful mare having both a horn and wings. The fountain is bathed in a strange blue light, and it seems to stand in the middle of the cathedral.

You take the occasion to slip the tip of your tail inside, in case there might some spell to hurt you should you choose to enter, but nothing happens. That may mean the gargoyles are completely in charge of the defence of this place. Which reminds you…

>>29728798
“Fangs.” You mutter to your sister while the tengu slowly makes her way in “What do your ghost eyes see?”
“That fountain… it’s overflowing with… soul-like energy!” She says “It’s bigger than anything I’ve seen so far!”
“Can you see the gargoyles?”
“No… Candy…” Your sister pauses “She says her vision can only learn a little more about things we can already see on our own. I still won’t be able to see the gargoyles if they’re hidden in the darkness.”

Your train of thought is interrupted, the doors suddenly slam shut behind the tengu, leaving you alone. The walls are thick enough to prevent you from earing anything from inside the walls or the cathedral.
“Uh… Do you think that’s normal?” Fangs ask, sounding worried about your feathery friend.

>What do?

>>29728805
Can Fangs still see Tori through the wall? If anything happens we might have to do something.

>>29728805
Lets go now! we aren't some spineless little snake, we're a mighty hydra! We are victims who's home was destroyed by a bunch of greedy dogs and we've done very little towards revenge. If there is to be any kind of retribution for our past actions, let hold our heads high and take responsibility!

>>29728858
>She says her vision can only learn a little more about things we can already see on our own.

>>29728869
Oops. Fucking me being stupid and forgetful.
>>29728863
I like this. If the sisters agree then lets have at em. If it's just stone then Froth can headbutt our way out.
Note: buy Froth a very tough helmet with blades and spikes.

>>29728805
Even if it is probably safe to go inside lets allow the tengu to deal with her own stuff before the cathedral gets to full.

>>29729017
“I don’t know, but I don’t feel like taking any risk. Let’s go in!” You declare “Froth! I’m counting on you to head-butt our way out of this if things go awry!”
“Heh.” She smiles deviously “You can count on me for that, sis!”

After making sure both of your sister were ready, you knock on the door, and once again it opens a couple of seconds later. However, you do not see any trace of Tori anymore.

“Looks like we’re going all the way in…” You mutter to yourself as you make your way inside the stone building. And just like for your friend, the soon door slams shut behind you. This place is unnaturally dark, the light around the statue not coming any further than the close range of the fountain and leaving the rest of the building in almost complete obscurity. You can barely see the contours of the place, but you think that aside from a couple of doors and the fountain, this place seems completely bare.

“What has brought you here, hydra?” A feminine but harsh voice calls from the darkness above. You raise your head to see one… several… many forms hidden in the dark among the beams of the cathedral.

“We… Our friend went inside a moment ago.” Fangs speaks up “We just wanted to know what happened to her.”
“The tengu willingly accepted our trials.” The voice answers you. “She is confessing right now. This will take a while.”

And then, after a few seconds of silence “We usually do not allow people to come out of the cathedral without appraising their worth, but since you came to ask about your friend, we are willing to make an exception.”

>What do?

>>29729230
Lets ask them if they're aware of what happened to our plane. It doesn't sound like they get much visitors here.

>>29729230
I hate to be nosy, but can you tell me what will happen if she fails or succeeds?

>>29729230
I am unsure we want to be apraised.

>>29729334
Afraid the monsters will judge another monster as being monstrous?

>>29729230
>Why is it dark in here?
Saying this IC. I know why. Gars turn to stone and die (not sure if they really die, but it makes them vulnerable).

>>29729230
Do they mind if we go outside and come back with a torch? And when I say torch if mean break a tree and light it on fire. we can hold it with our tail as we move.

>>29729230
Maybe with a little time, our eyes will slowly adapt to the darkness.

>>29729230
So what will they do with her if she's not pure of heart.

>>29729230
Let's get our worth appraised.

>>29729510
You hope your eyes will soon accommodate to the darkness, but you still think you’ll be at a huge disadvantage if you had to fight in these conditions.

“What will you do with her if she’s not pure?” You ask to the gargoyles.
“Then we’ll encourage her to follow the path of purity.” You are answer “And purge the evil out of her.”

“I also wanted to ask” You continue “Since you look like you don’t have much visit-“
“Enough! This sacred hall is not the place for lengthy discussions!” The gargoyle sternly cuts you “Come back when the sun is set if you have more you want to speak of. If it can appease your mind in the meantime, your friend genuinely looked to me like her heart was in the right place. I’d be surprised if she had much to atone for.”

The door behind you opens once more, letting just a little light penetrate the hall.
“Now go, hydra, unless you too want to subject yourself to our trials.” The voice of the gargoyle resonates in the cathedral.

>What do?

see you tomorrow

>>29729793
Thank the gargoyles for letting you leave and go buy that info from the merchant.

I know some people argued against this but having that info all in one spot along with interesting text and diagrams and shit was fantastic.

>>29729793
Do they look any bigger or smaller than us?
Well aren't they pretty.

>>29729793
Alright. We should get those documents from Capital and look for another sleeping spot, just in case. We'll be back.

>>29729793
Alright, fine. We might come back later at sunset. Come on Tori, let's bounce.

When we leave lets ask her what happened. Di they fight or something?

>>29729864
>>29729929
This, please. We can even ask about gargoyle weaknesses if we are really intent on taking this place heads on later.

>>29729793
So is Tori gonna stick around us now or head on out to the monastery thing?

>>29729793
Let's go kill and eat some rabbits.

>>29729793
Basically what's been said. Jet and head back to get the docs. We need to do all in our power and persuasion to keep Tori along with us if we do decide to come back, since she's on the gargoyles good side. It'll make life easier than a brawl.

>>29732505

well that some good fan art.

>>29732505
Noice! Making me wish we picked Tengu.

No session tonight. sorry. See you tomorrow.

>>29732505
That's fucking top stuff, mate. Thanks!

Okay, I'm confused now. Why does everyone think Tori is with us? Last I checked, she's still being judged.

>>29735718
I know, right?

Random lurker here. Just letting you know I love your story.

“A-alright, thanks for hearing me.” You declare as you back away toward the daylight, not willing to challenge a powerful foe unprepared. Even if the silhouettes of the gargoyles are only as big as regular ponies, the darkness and their number put you at too much of a disadvantage to try to force your way in.

Out of the cathedral, you’re in the sunlight again. For now. Twilight should be in less than two hours, which means you’ve got enough time to go back to that merchant to get some information on the gargoyles, and even catch some game in the meantime. You’re getting peckish.
Let’s just hope Tori isn’t gonna stick around in that monastery…

Your hunt is bountiful, as you manage to get yourself an adult boar. Surprised, the animal didn’t even think about running away and desperately charged you head-on instead. Its last mistake. Sated, you then tread toward the edge of the forest, following the river to find the merchant again.

Coming closer to where you first met him, you’re a little surprised to have Capitalrisk find you instead, coming out of a thicket.
“H-hi again, dear snake persons” He greets you for the second time today, sounding a little tense “Did you change your mind, maybe?”

>What do?

>>29740845
He's acting suspicious. Did you do something that would make us angry?

>>29740845
What are you hiding from?

>>29740845
Well we are here to buy some information from you about the creature from this planes.

>>29740845
How did you find us?

ooc he couldn't have spotted or heard us unless he say our eyes.

>>29740845
Since he sells information it could be possible that he sold the information of our location to someone else. I'd keep an eye on our surroundings in case someone else plans to ambush us.

>>29740845
>>29741268
I'm with this anon, but we're already here. Next time let's just force a diamond dog to dig up gems or something. Like in that one episode where spike and rarity we digging no deeper than a foot to get a shit ton of gems?

You raise a suspicious eyebrow.
“Were you hiding from something in that bush?” You ask “Was it us?”
“Yeah, what’s the problem little one?” Froth adds threateningly. “Was there something we weren’t meant to see?”

“Ah… Pay it no attention.” He stutters, shaking his arms apologetically “I just… a pearl rolled out of my seams, and I was afraid I had lost it in this bush. But here it is!” He shows a small iridescent sphere for an instant before tucking it behind his fabric “Now, you were searching for me, right?”

“Yes.” You answer after a short silence, still unconvinced “We’re gonna take all the information you can give us on the gargoyles.”
“Ah…” Capitalrisk seem to ease up now that you’re talking business “I take it you met them in some way, right? I’ll give you the page about the gargoyles and the one about the plane. It explains a little more about the Cathedral in that one.”
“Hum, sounds fine…” You nod while the merchant searches for the pages, and add “So you heard us coming, right?”
“I guess so.” He answers “No offense, but your stature makes you rather hard to miss… Ahem. D-dear snake persons?”

He sounds afraid once again. Probably since he saw you and your sisters deviously grinning at him after his obvious lie.

>What do?

>>29740845
Yes please I would like those maps.

>>29741433
Uproot that bush.

>>29741433
You heard us coming despite us carrying a cursed artifact that makes it so we can't be detected?

>>29741433
Ask if this plane is the only one he has maps for.

>>29741433
Exchange goods with him cause I really think we need that page and map, but after I'd suggest we make an attempt to capture him in our coils because something is for sure up. If he actually poofs away like he threatened the last time we saw him then I'd suggest we make a rush for the bush he was telling us to ignore. I get the feeling someone is hiding in it.

As for how he "heard" us, it could be he is keeping tabs on us magically. Perhaps through scrying or something.

>>29741433
I want to check the bush

>>29741433
You mean like the first time we met? Don't you lie to us now.

>>29741433
>>29741460
Ok. Shit for brain. You want to tell him the rest of our strength and weaknesses?

Oh my bad. You were probably thinking that, not posting for Faze to say that.

>>29741754
Thought, I suck at dialogue.

>>29741433
Boop him. And ask if he has a dick.

>>29741433
What are you hiding!

“Don’t lie to us, now!” You hiss at the merchant. “Move aside!”

But as soon as you approach closer to the bush, an equine form flies away. You identify a heavily armoured pegasus, wearing a protective mask. You’re quite surprised he still can fly with all that stuff. A moment after, two unicorns in a similar gear get out on the other side of the bush, ready to fire spells at you.

“Hold on!” The male pegasus calls, stern, but not outright aggressive “Let’s calm down. We saw you coming, hydra, and we didn’t expect you to be… civilised, even if the golem told us so.”
“Th-that’s right!” Capiralirisk blurts in panic “I told them, but they insisted I talked to you first! I was just trying not to shun away any customer!”
“That is true. We didn’t think you could, but since you do sound like you can be reasonable, there’s no point in getting violent anymore. You have our apologies.” He turns to Capitalrisk. “And you too golem. You were right. And I think we can all agree to remain calm and pacific since we both want to trade with you.” He turns to you once more “Do you accept, hydra?”

Despite the speech of the pegasus, the two unicorns are still pointing their horns at you. They seem to wait for your reaction before letting their guard down even a little.

>What do?

see youtomorrow

>>29742505
Who. Are. You?

>>29742505
I guess we can be civil. For now. Now who are you small fries? Are you from the Colony?

>>29742505
The way they're acting seems a bit different from the other outsiders. We might as well give them the benefit of the doubt for now, but make sure to keep our guard up.

>>29742505
As long as you don't go around destroying planes.

>>29742505
How did you manage to notice me? Are those masks enchanted?

>>29742505
I am glad we were able to resolve this peacefully it would be a shame if I had to kill you.
But as many planer guide pages as you can.

>>29742505
Fucking outsiders man. I see how it is. So you're assuming that just because we're a hydra - oh do you want to start a fight now?
Be careful what You say next time ponies. Now, do you guys know anything about a group of fire stick weilding dogs? We have a score to settle.

>>29742609
I would rather we not get offended or at least not show we are offended.

>>29742808
Why

>>29742872
Because I want them to like us as much as possible.
Besides going full ree would be fucking embarasing if we are gonna get offended it should be a shorter statment.

>>29742872
Because we're going to need allies and not enemies to take on the dogs?

>>29743144
>Besides going full ree would be fucking embarasing if we are gonna get offended it should be a shorter statment.
There's something about this I find odd.

>>29743175
And if they are indifferent or allied to the dogs?

>>29743719
I don't feel it. I know the feeling all to well though.

>>29743997
I think it's missing a period and a few commas.

>>29744026
That's a strange thing to find odd but it looks to me like it is missing just a single comma.

>>29743725
If we just kill people who are indifferent we might start getting hunted. Best to just stick to killing dogs and dog friends.

>>29743725
If they are indifferent we leave them on there merry way.

Say "boo"

Better watch out!

They do not talk like the other outsiders you’ve met. You’ll give them the benefit of the doubt for now…

“Who. Are. You?” You slowly hiss, glaring at them, ready to pounce at the first funny move from them.
“We’re adventurers.” The pegasus calmly states “We’re heading to the Wizard’s Cube, a nearby plane to gather materials.”
“Are you from The Colony?”
“Yes.” He nods “That’s our base camp.”
“Ever heard of a large group of diamond dogs over there?” You continue questioning him.
“Hard to miss them.” The pegasus answers “Their camp is almost as large as the rest of the city. We have nothing to do with them, though.”

You ponder for a few moment, and… you let out a sight.
“Alright…” you tell the small company “Let’s just not bother each other...”
“…But one last thing!” The outsiders tense up a little more “How did you manage to notice me?”
They exchange a look in silence, before answering.
“I was on the lookout when you came.” The pegasus explains “I saw you coming. I realised later that you’re a lot less noisy than you should, but you’re not invisible either.”
“Hum… Thanks for telling me.” You conclude.

As you turn toward Capitalrisk again, the ponies seem to ease up a little, the unicorns finally pointing their pesky magical horns somewhere else than at you, and start to whisper with the pegasus. They’ll probably wait for you to be done with the merchant before trading with him themselves.
“Keep an eye on them, you two…” You mutter to your sisters, still more than a little wary of the adventurers.

“Alright Capitalrisk.” You tell the vendor. “You got the pages I asked earlier?”
“Of course!” He answer and gives you the pages while taking two of your gems, leaving you with 3 “A pleasure witnessing with you the marvel of ponies brought together thanks to the miracle of commerce!”

>>29747848
“Yeah, sure…” You cringe slightly “Also, do you have pages of other planes?”
“Naturally!” He nods “I have Winter Calm, Unearthed Woods, Cakewalk, Twilight Cove, Smokey Mountain, Wild Steppes, Neon Floor and Damned Village. Does any of these sound interesting?”

>What do?

(planar guide updated)

Only update for today. See you tomorrow

>>29747855
I want them to take us to the diamond dog camp. They've taken something from us and we REALLY want it back.

We're a predator. Can we smell any fear from them?

>>29747855
Noice. Wild Steppes and Damned Village stick out to me as possible hydra hunting grounds the most. Smokey Mountain could have a nice new cave to call home, and thats our top priority right now.
While a nice place to hunt, unless we go through the trials of the gargoyles, there is no way we can make ourselfs a nest in Cathedral.

>>29748065
You actually think we're ready for that? Be a bit more patient, we don't even have a place to sleep yet.

>>29748146
We can sleep anywhere we want, so long as it's not cake walk. That place it too greasy.

>>29748223
I see, so you'd rather commit suicide by attacking them head-on instead of spending time to prepare for the battle and find a way to continue living after we get our revenge.

>>29748223
There's a difference between sleeping somewhere and safely being able to keep stuff there. We might find later on we don't want to carry everything with us, and a place to stay would help with that.

>>29747855
Let's ask Capitalrisk if he might know of any places such as caves, hollows, or abandoned buildings we could take up residence in. Either in this Plane or nearby ones.

>>29748292
Or ask the adventures.

>>29748065
Can we focus on finding a new home before we fucking go to war.
We cannot take on that whole force anyway.

>>29747855
Wizards cube and twilight cove. Those are the two closest planes we've yet to explore.

>>29749913

God fucking dammit my computer appears to be fucked and I cannot view the new map and monsters on my phone does anybody have them in image?

>>29750822
Oh yay I got it working thanks for nothing faggots.

Sky archipelago sounds useless to us and the cove is probably really small.

Ask him if he is willing to give a brief bit of info on each plane surely we are more likely to buy if we know we might want to go there.

do we know what an alicorn is? either way ask if he has pages on them.

ask him if there is a way to find him if we decide we want that sword.

>>29751016
Fuck meant to quote
>>29747855

>>29747855
Twilight cove sounds neat

>>29748125
We can stick to the forest. The medium sized game is good.

>>29748146
>>29748261
>>29748751
Our plane will crumble into oblivion if we don't try something. Unlike the keeper of our plane, we are fireresistant. Not only that, but the dogs had suffered casualties along the way back to the colony. So, injuries + more casualties is a bonus for us. We can just eat more souls and find a reaper later if it becomes a problem.

And why are you guys so picky about where we sleep? It's not like we had a customer sized bed with two thousand count sheets back in our crumbling home. Who's stupid enough to me we with a creature that's in the upper most part of the food chain?

Anyone think of a cool name for the hydra sisters? It's gotta start with an 'F' and maybe something related to eating souls.

>>29751860
It's not just the dogs anon. If you paid attention, you would know that the whole colony is a forbidden zone for free monsters of any kind. We will have to fight the entire plane on our own. That's suicide.
Our plane already crumbled by the way.

>>29751860
What part of there camp is almost as big as the city do you not understand.
We are not a fucking army and we cannot take on an army.

>>29751860
I thought our plane was already gone. We were the last to flee after all. I don't think this quest is about saving, it's about surviving.

On that note, I would like to know if we had parents that moved into the jungle, or where created by our keeper.

Now we're bumping from 10.

You’re tempted to search for a comfortable home right now. Planes like Twilight Cove, Smokey Mountain or Wild Steppes sound like they could do the trick. A nice new cave where you could keep your treasures, hang that crepe on the wall and use the icy orb to make a pantry, just like… wait, no, you don’t remember ever having a pantry, so where do you know the word from? Was it your parents? You don’t remember having parents actually… You were always the only hydra of the jungle. Or was it the keeper who…
You shake these strange thoughts out of your head.

Anyway, the forest of this plane offers a satisfying source of food, and your main goal right now is still to get back at those dogs. And what kind of crazy pony would attack you in your sleep anyway! But…

On the other hoof… You’ll also need to build up strength, and possibly find allies before you can take on the dogs. There’s an army of them after all. And all The Colony won’t allow to walk out free.
You’re gonna have to decide how fast you want to act and the possibility of making yourself a worthy lair right now….

“Capitalrisk, I’m searching for a plane to establish a new home.” You tell the vendor “Can you tell me which of these planes could do the trick?”
“Ah…” The clothed pony shakes his head. “That wouldn’t be wise of me to-“
“The twilight Cove isn’t bad.” You all turn to hear the pegasus barging in the conversation, idly leaning on a tree “If you can swim, and if you don’t mind salt water, that could be a great place for you. And you look like you can live on fishing.”

Both you and his companions seem surprised, and soon the two unicorns look like they disapprove the talkativeness of their friend. But if he’s willing to talk…

“And what about the other planes we talked about?” You calmly ask him.

>>29758145
“The Wizard’s Cube and the Damned Village definitely aren’t places to make your hole in.” He shakes his head “Unless you’re ready to deal with mind flayers or neighcrawlers, respectively… Smokey Mountain is a rather calm plane as long as you don’t try to climb the mountain, and while there’s some dangerous monsters in the Wild Steppes, you certainly wouldn’t be the least of them. And the Neon Floor. Well, it’s not dangerous, but I don’t think anyone can sleep in here with the noise…”

“Thanks for the tips. And…” You might as well get all the information you can “Can you tell me what’s an alicorn?”
“Ah, it’s a legendary creature.” The pegasus tells you “A pony supposed to have the wings of a pegasus, the horns of a unicorn and the body of an earth pony. They’re usually divine in some way in the stories.”

“ *Sigh* You really can’t resist a chance to hear yourself talk can you?” One of the unicorns growls at the pegasus.
“What’s the problem?” He lazily shrugs in response “We’re no enemies.”
“The problem is that you’re sounding like an old drunkard telling stories of his youth.” She gives him a jab on the uncovered part of his arm “That’s annoying! And you didn’t even drink anything yet!”

The pegasus chuckles in response.
“Hey, hydra, you’re starting to seem nicer than my current companions, wanna join up? HAHAHHah!” He explodes in a metallic laughter distorted but his mask. Until the unicorn conjures a small lightning bolt at him, sending painful-looking convulsions in his body.
It takes him a few seconds to catch his breath after that.

“Feh…” He takes off his mask to wipe his face once the shock is passed, revealing a gashed, middle-aged face “No fun at all, Are you?”

>>29758149
“Fun is the first factor in lethal adventuring accidents and you know it.” The unicorn declares solemnly. A strange sense of humour indeed these adventurers have, if it is a sense of humour at all…

“Ahem, dear snakes persons?” Capitalrisk attempts to get you attention again. “Did this adventurer’s intervention help you choose one of the maps?”
“Mmh… Maybe.” You answer “But first, is there a way for me to find you again in the future?”
“I told you were I intend to go next.” He answers “I leave for the Twilight Cove tomorrow. I can’t do much more, really…”

>What do?

>>29758153
Let's go with him.

I remember Mindflayers, but not much about Nightcrawlers. They're giant undead right?

>>29758153
>“Hey, hydra, you’re starting to seem nicer than my current companions, wanna join up? HAHAHHah!” He explodes in a metallic laughter distorted but his mask. Until the unicorn conjures a small lightning bolt at him, sending painful-looking convulsions in his body.
You know, they might not be so bad (heh, that'll shut em up). And you're heading to the The Wizard’s Cube to gather ingredient correct? Now you mentioned Mind Flayers or Neighcrawlers, which, sound fairly dangerous to anything but us. What are they exactly? Do you three think you could handle these by yourself?

I have a proposition, that is if you three think you can make due without our might. You make it worth our while, along with telling us more about the various planes, and we will consider going with you three.

>>29758153
Twilight cove sounds like a decent place to try. Also, lets introduce ourselves.

>>29758153
Converse with our sisters. What do they think, head to the Twilight Cove? Travel with these adventures? Travel with Tori? Where does Tori want to go anyways?

>>29758153
Then I guess well see each other again soon. Can't not travel to Cove after that kind of advertisement. We can't travel with you there, since we have to visit the cathedral again at night.

>>29758149
The Wizard’s Cube and the Damned Village sound too much of a bother, no unless we put ourselves at the top of the food chain. We can cross Neon Floor. We like to have our beauty sleep thank you very much. Looks like Twilight Cove and Smokey Mountain are the most idea locations to make home. But he didn't talk about Wild Steppes.

Hmmm. I don't want us to settle for just a home, not while those filthy mongrels continue to parade around with the relic of our old home, but we can't do anything. Not without some allies and a workout montage. Tori is kind of an ally, but a temporary one, I think. Depends on what she wants to do. But these adventures. Very curious. Maybe they can be.....

>>29758153
We-heh-heh-hell now. If these "oh so nice adventures" are giving away information, I don't see a reason to buy any more information from Capitalrisk. Well, actually a map of the plane and a detailed physical representation of creatures would be very useful, unless these adventures would be so kind as to provide us with a copy.

>>29758340
>But he didn't talk about Wild Steppes.
>While there’s some dangerous monsters in the Wild Steppes, you certainly wouldn’t be the least of them.
anon pls.

>>29758361
Oh, I missed that. Thanks.

>>29758252
You need to do some back-reading. Tori is not currently with us. She is still in the cathedral atoning for her sins.

>>29758153
Lets head for the twilight cove no need to buy a map yet we can just buy one when we get there.
For now though lets wait outside the cathedral to see if our tengu friend is finished but if she is still in there come morning leave her behind and head to the twilight cove.

>>29758149
What exactly are they looking for in the Wizard Cube?

>>29759046
Oh also thank the pony for the information.

“Mmmh… Hold on that thought for a second, Capitalrisk.” You turn again toward the adventurers.

“We-he-hell…” You tell them with a grin you hope isn’t too menacing. “You guys aren’t so bad for outsiders. My name is Faze by the way. And these are Fangs and Froth.” You introduce your sisters. “Oh, and thanks for sharing the traveller’s tips.”
“We-he-hell!” The pegasus cheerfully repeats your words “You’re welcome Faze. I have to confess it’s the first time I heard a monster over twice my height throwing such nice words at me. One more story to tell ponies about!” The unicorn groans in despair. “My name is Star Hanger” He continues “This thunderous mare here is named Skyline and my other friend who’s on the lookout is Augury.” The pegasus introduces his party.

“You look like an interesting bunch” You tell Star Hanger “But Mind Flayers, you say?” You don’t know exactly where, but you think you’ve heard about those. Octopus-like ponies, expert in the art of magic and mind control, and who feeds on the brains of regular ponies. “And how are YOU gonna deal with those? You said you’re heading to the wizard’s cube for materials, right?”

“Please, Hydra…” The unicorn whines “Stop encouraging him. You don’t know what it’s like to hear him ramble every day, every chance he gets…”
“But don’t you see, Skyline?” The pegasus flashes a smug grin “You’re the only one who doesn’t like my stories. But it’s okay, you already know the end so I kind of-”
“Just get done with it already!” She cuts him angrily.

>>29759438
“Alright, my impatient crowd!” A menacing electric arc crackles on Skyline’s horn “Eh! I mean, a-anyway, the trick for mind flayers, just like for anything actually… is to come prepared. Wards for our heads provided by my two friends here, mechanical traps, and also a couple of dirty needles…” With a devious grind, he shows you a couple of throwing darts and a vial containing a bright yellow liquid you imagine is a deadly poison.

“Mind flayers know how to defend against magic and brute strength” He confidently states “But they’re arrogant, and are prone to overlook trapped wires and poisoned darts. At least if you can prevent them to read your thoughts with wards!”
“You really think that’ll work?” You cock an eyebrow.
“But of course!” He boasts “Trust me hydra, my and my companion’s plans already worked more than once against these foul creatures. These weren’t easy fights, but we still have our brain to tell the tale!”

“And you’re doing all that for… materials?”
“Uh-hu!” He nods “Some minerals inside the cube are heavily charged with arcanic energy. Anyone who wants to perform a ritual or craft anything enchanted is gonna need some of these to get the best results. It’s more expensive than gold!”

For a second you thought about trying to extort some riches from them in exchange of your might, but it looks like they won’t need it. That or they’ll be too full of themselves to consider it anyway...

“And what are those neighcrawler you were talking about?” You say, interested in any information Star Hanger may be willing to give you.
“Ah…” He ponders, looking fondly in the air “Those are only stories I heard I confess. But, neighcrawler are fearsome flesh eating monsters. Always hungry, they hunt in the dark and supposedly cannot be killed. They come back to life as soon as they’re in complete darkness. Only the light can keep them at bay.”

>>29759444
“That does sound like a pain…” You comment “You’re right. We’re probably going to avoid that plane.”

And now that the sun is starting to disappear behind the horizon, you decide to talk with your sisters to decide what to do next.

“What do you think, sisters.” You start “Will we head for the Twilight Cove next? And should we try to have someone come with us.”
“Eh… I’d rather try to find the Wild Steppe to tell the truth.” Froth says. “Powerful monsters he said… you wanted to get powerful allies, right? Hey!” Your sister turns to the talkative pegasus “Is there a quick way to get to the Wild Steppe from here?”

“You’re in luck” He answers “There’s one portal going there from the Twilight Cove if I remember correctly.”
“Well, I was gonna say Twilight Cove sounded nice” Fangs adds “So it looks like we all agree to go there for a start. I just hope we can get Tori to come with us. She said she’s traveling because she wants to get stronger, right? Maybe we could convince her to travel with us. But how, that’s the question… These adventurers look rather set on their goal one the other hoof. They’re nice, but it’s probably a lost cause to have them follow us right now.”

“We’ll find something for Tori. But for now we’re set.” You nod to yourself “Capitalrisk. We’ll be heading for the Twilight Cove too tomorrow, would you like to travel with us?”

“Oh… I am flattered dear snake persons.” The clothed pony gives you an exaggerated bow. “But… As you saw yourself, some of my customers might become fearful should you travel with me. So I’m going to have to decline your generous offer. I am deeply sorry.”

>What do?

See you tomorrow

>>29759457
Alright then. We ought to thank the adventurers for their help, wish them luck , and head back towards the cathedral so we can wait for Tori.

>>29759457
>And now that the sun is starting to disappear behind the horizon, you decide to talk with your sisters to decide what to do next.
Should be about the time the gargoyles would want to talk.

>>29759457
What can the talkative stallion tell us about the army of dogs?

>>29758354
Yeah I don't care about what information we mught have I like the maps.

>>29759457
I would rather let tori just join this order we will have to find new companions if she ends up joining.
ask the ghost girl if she would be able to defend us from mindflayers.

>>29759457
You know, I wonder what mindflayer tastes like. And we are far from just a lumbering brute to be mind controlled by a mind flatter. I give it a an upwards fight if we want to attack one head on.

>>29759457
Boop the silly goldem with our beautiful tail tippy.

>>29759444
every one gets a boop, and you don't get a say in it!

>>29759457
Are mind flayers the only thing they have to deal with? I am unsure how much of this, rare mineral will be available, but if we can get a cut then it will help us greatly.

How much do they know about mind player senses? Do they rely on sound? Line of sight? Do the have an all around sense?

bun

>>29760020

>>29762471
She also has dreams and aspirations.

“Candy?” You ask toward Fangs “Do you think you could protect us from a mind flayer’s influence?”
“She says she wouldn’t be able to hold on for long against something so powerful.” Fangs answers after a few seconds “And she could only protect one of us at a time. She says being pitted against a mind flayer would be a spooky situation.”
That’s not as good as you hoped…

“If you’ve fought these mind flayers in the past…” You ask the talkative pegasus again. “Surely you know how they perceive the world. Is it their eyes? Ears? Nose?”
“They see through their eyes, yes.” Star Hanger readily answers “But they also detect magic and conscious thoughts. Usually. That’s also what the wards are for.”

“I see… And are the mind flayers the only danger you expect to encounter over there?”
“They’re just the most dangerous part.” You’re answered “Arcanic storms and sudden change in local gravity are common occurrences in the cube. Also chaos spawns. But they’re usually funny to hang out with. As long as you can keep them from casting spells in your general direction…” He slouches against the tree, letting out an annoyed sigh “Honestly, Wizard’s Cube is a mess. I can’t wait to be done with that errand…”
“But say, Faze. You’re awfully curious about our quest.” Star Hanger winks at you “Are you worried about me?”

“Well…” It feels odd. For you realise that for the first time you’re gonna need more than your own strength to achieve your goal, and that’ll probably mean negotiating with outsiders. So… better start now. “To tell the truth, it would help us greatly if we could make some profit with doing such errands somehow.”

>>29763428
“So you’re looking for a job? HA!” Star Hooker laughs heartily “Now that’s good story to tell people! If you want to try your scales at questing around here…” He ponders “I advise going either to Winter Calm or the Legendary Tundra. The first is a well-known fall back plane for adventurers, and they usually need help around here. The keeper also upholds a non-aggression principle for adventurers and monsters alike. As for the Legendary Tundra, there’s several factions waging war against each other here, and they’re ready to hire about anyone.”
“Uhm… I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for everything you told me, Start Hanger. But one more thing actually! Can you tell me a little more about the dogs at the Colony?”

“Eh…” He shrugs “Nothing you probably doesn’t know already. I heard they were here for a keeper hunt, but you know all too well about that, right?”
“Hmm…” You nod, a slightly tingle of nostalgia at the back of your mind.
“Oh, wait” The pegasus perks up “Now I remember I heard something else. I think Dogmagus was the one leading them.”
Dogmagus? You feel like you know that name from somewhere…
“He’s kind of a big-shot adventurer.” Star Hanger continues “One of the few pioneers who survived the first explorations of the planes.”

“Hum. Thanks again, Star Hanger” You give him a polite nod, before starting to tread slither toward the forest “We’ll be on our way now.”
“Good luck to the three of you!” The pegasus hails, and even Skyline give you a timid wave “I hope to see you again someday. The questing tales of a plucky hydra, now that’s something I’d like to hear!”

“Wait a second please, dear snake persons!” Capitalrisk calls out as you were going to be on your way “Before you leave, please accept this as a gift.” And there he give you a page about… him. Which also look a little more biased than the ones you already have. For such a gift, you give him a boop in return.
“I hope we’ll meet again, dear snake persons!” He waves goodbye to you, before Skyline approaches to finally talk business with him.

The sun has completely disappeared behind the horizon when you arrive near the cathedral. You’re starting to have trouble seeing everything in that forest, but you can picture the doors of the cathedral open, and two gargoyles standing at each side of it. The two guards watch you approach in silence. Meanwhile, you see Tori a little to the side of the building, munching on what’s probably seeds and berries she found in the forest.

She perks up as you approach. She doesn’t look very happy right now…
“So?” You ask “Did they agree to teach you something?”
“Sorewa…” Tori winces slightly “They said no, Faze-san... They don’t want to teach me their way of the bushi.”
“Aww…” Fangs pouts “Why though? You looked like you were super motivated. What happened in here?”
“Well, first they had me meditate for a long time” Tori answers “With strange vapours, and I talked with them about me. But after a while they said, even though I wasn’t a… sinner or something, that Sancta-sama wouldn’t condone the pursuit of strength for strength alone, and that I should find something I want to fight for before everything else.”

Tori pouts angrily.
“Zurui!” She exclaims, sending her berries flying in front of her “What’s wrong with wanting to be the most kakoi bushi! That’s the noblest thing I can think of!”

>What do?

>>29763436
It makes sense. Having a lot of strength, but absolutely no purpose for it is quite a waste. The only reason we're looking for strength is to avenge our fallen plane, but we're going to have to face an entire army for that.

>>29763436
What is a warrior with nothing to fight for? Loyalty is honor.

>>29763436
Helping others would be considered noble. How about that?

>>29763436
What would you do after being the strongest creature? I figure Sancta thinks you could try to rule the world like a villain without anything to put that strength to use.

>>29763436
I don't know, but maybe you can think of something if you travel with us. Come on, we'll be heading to Winter calm through Cake Walk and Unearthed Woods.

>>29763436
>>29763501 (continuing from this....)
We decided we'll make Twilight Cove our new home later, but after we deal with the dogs. Hey hows that? You cab help stop people from destroying planes. Thats as noble as it gets.

>>29763436
Huh. His info came with stamps. 8 more to go I guess.

>>29763436
Well now your trainingless and still seedless. What are you going to do you silly little tengu?

>>29763690
Sword. I ment to say swordless.

>>29763436
There's more to life than just being the strongest, little birbhorse

“Eh… Sorry Tori, but that kinda make sense” You admit “What’s a warrior who’s got nothing to fight for? That’s quite a waste, don’t you think?”

“Da-ka-ra! Who cares?!” The little bird pony starts to throw a fit “I just want to be the strongest bushi! The kakkoiest of the kakkoiest! Slashing islands in a single swing! Moving so fast behind my enemies they feel like I’m teleporting! Being so cool all the other tengus look up to me! And then, when I’m old, have a young deshi and say cool things to them when they’re in a pinch, like ‘Remember to always be truthful to who you really are’ or ‘Trust is the strength of your courage’ and they’ll be like ‘Sensei, you’re so kakkoi! I know I will never be as kakkoi as you but I want to try anyway!’ What’s wrong with that?!”

“Maybe nothing, but that Sancta seems to think you’re gonna become a villain if you go that way.” You tell her, half-amused, half-cringing from the tantrum of the tengu.
“Tchi. What doesn’t she know…” Tori mumbles “She’s just a statue. What does a statue know about the importance of kakkoiness?”

You take a second to make sure the gargoyles didn’t hear your friend talking shit about their deity.
“We’re a hydra, Tori” You try to bring her to reason “We know a couple of things about being strong. And that’s not everything there is to life. Right now, we fight to avenge our plane, and we too need to get stronger because of that.”
“Since they refused to teach you” Fangs adds “What about coming with us? Helping others is something noble! We need all the people we can find, and we’ll certainly meet a lot of powerful enemies on the way. So you’ll get stronger!”

The tengu doesn’t answer. She’s just pouting in silence with her eyes closed and arms crossed. She grumbles something, until…

>>29763436
Maybe you will find the cause of one of the armys in the legendary tundra just.

>>29764173
“NYAARG! Nan demo!” Tori suddenly stands up and unsheathe her sword which was on her back to slice the air in front of her “I’m just pissed! I’m gonna train all night! And then I’ll follow you and you better let me battle all the tsuyoi foes we meet!”

And on that note and before you can say anything, the tengu flies away in the night as fast as a shooting star.

>What do?

>>29764176
Fuck i was to late stupid fucking need for sleep.
>>29764179
Suggest the posibility of >>29764179 to our sisters it would be nice to have her come with us but I think an army is what she needs right now.

>>29764203
Fuck meant to quote >>29764176 there.

See you tomorrow

>>29764179
Guess we'll have to wait till she tires herself out. Find a spot where we can take turns watching her and napping.

>>29764179
.....Where the fuck did she get that sword?

>>29764581
How could she possibly NOT have a sword? >>29708545

>>29764581
I am pretty sure she always had one the one she wanted to buy was just special.

>>29764590
Didn't that guy say she came to him with nothing, and offered her services as a body guard for the sword?

>>29764179
YOU BETTER BE QUIET ABOUT IT! WE'LL BE SLEEPING HERE!
So you girls want to find a midnight snack before we sleep?

>>29764179
"That Tengu has gone boo-koo cuckoo."

Go ahead and get some rest as well as >>29764272.

>>29764609
She still had a sword it just was not incredibly powerful magic like the one he was selling.

>>29764179
Man, that bird is out of their mind.

>>29764173
Alright, uh, we'll be here

Let's go hit up those gargoyles. See if any of them want to tag along, or at the very least chat with us

>>29764176
I like this idea.

>>29765921
She's already flown off into the night.

>>29766004
Yeah sadly I made the suggestion seconds after the qm made the post that made it to late.
However we can still suggest it to her when we see her next.

I know some people will object to the idea because they want her as a party member but I think joining an army she thinks is just is what she needs right now. As they said she was to focused on strengths for strengths sake she needs a cause.

>>29766333
Agreed.

>>29766333
Disagree. She needs a mentor to temper her. Someone like us.

>>29767101
Even if you disagree would you say we should at least ask our sisters what they think of the idea.
We do not have to even say we like the idea we can just say we are leaning towards keeping her but are curious about getting her enlisted instead.

Personally I would like the benifit she would give but I cannot in good conscience take us with her if there may we something better for her.

Bump for enlisting tengus in the army.

>>29764179
Sleep now so we can dream about the lives of the dead.

>>29766333
Damn right I'll be objecting. Having her join a war we know nothing about is just a shittiest thing to do. Now those all jobs in Winter Quiet. That sounds more up her alley since she can choose what she wants to do.

>>29764179
I like to imagine Capitalrisk would be voiced by the same guy who did hatty Hatington.

>>29768420

Now that you mention it that does sound like a better idea then my army idea.

>>29764179
If she wants to join us then great. After she gets back, I think the plan should be 1. establish a home base somewhere (Probably the cove, which is where we should head next) and 2. Start gathering strength and allies. Starting off by getting an adventuring group going may be a good idea with Winter Calm, and then after we can consider going to the Legendary Tundra. There if we could perhaps tilt the war in favor of one of the sides, we could in return get an army to use against the dogs.

>>29769980

Amazing.

"That Tengu has gone boo-koo cuckoo." You can only say.
“Yep. Looks like we’re gonna have to wait until she’s finished before sleeping…” Fangs laments while Tori give it her all against a thousand imaginary enemies.
“We could try taking turns sleeping while she’s at it.” You answer. “I’ll start.”
“Why not?” Froth nods “That does sounds like the kind of things adventurers, or whatever, would do…”
“Is that really what we are?” Fangs shows a bitter-sweet smile “You think all the other adventurers want to avenge their fallen plane?”

“I don’t think so.” You state “But anyway, for tomorrow, The Cove, the Winter Calm sounds like the best option to start if you ask me. I’d rather avoid taking part is some war, and maybe Tori can find herself a cause that way.”
“Sounds fair.” Fangs ponders “I wonder what kind of job we’re gonna find…”

Without much more small-talk to do, your two sisters go to sleep as you nest yourself under a massive uprooted stump near the cathedral. You quickly realise being the only head awake is really annoying since you can barely more your body, and the slowed metabolism of your sisters make you extra sleepy too.
You’re rather fast to fall asleep on your turn…

“Faze…” You hear in your slumber.
“Faze, can you hear me?”

“Wh-what?” You awaken in a strange, seemingly endless grey space. You’re alone, even your sisters aren’t here, only…
“Can you hear me now?” Candlestick asks, her head tilted to the side.

“Yeah, I guess but…” You look around for any landmark, but there’s nothing around here. “Where are we?”
“It’s a room I build to talk to you while you sleep Faze.” Candy answer, she sounds like she’s in a hurry! “Listen, now that you’re sleeping, the soul you consumed is going to fully awaken very soon! You’re gonna have to negotiate with it or destroy its will completely. If you don’t, the power you gained is gonna turn against you!”

“A fight?” You snort “Ha! Like a single dog stands a chance against me!”
“Don’t think that, Faze.” The ghost shakes her head “The strength of your body means nothing here! Moreover because that dog never met you, and he doesn’t know you’re bigger and stronger and venomous. The kind of fight we’re talking about... It’s a little strange to explain, but this will be a make-believe battle. And the first one to believe they die is done for even for real! And since you’re both new to this, the battle will probably be even.”

That does sound a little tricky. Tricky enough to make you feel uneasy.
“And… Can you help me with that?” You ask the ghost “You seem to know a lot about what’s happening.”
“I won’t be able to fight with you…” Candy meekly answers “Unless you want me to have the benefits of the defeated soul… And it’s too late to teach you anything worthy. The only advice I can tell you is that words and memories means a lot here. And if you know how that dog died, you best chance is to make him think it’s happening again!”

This process sounds a lot more hazardous than you thought…

>>29771156
“Ahem… And what about negotiating?” You ask about the second option “What’s he gonna ask from me?”
“I don’t know.” Candy shakes her head “Things like oaths, a last will he wants to carry on or even being in control of your body sometimes. Either that dog will accept his death and you’ll be able to enjoy all the soul’s remaining power once his will withers away, or he’ll ask to keep existing through your body in some way.”

“Alright…” You nod “I think I’ve got it. A little…” You look around again, but nothing has changed “So… What’s happening now?”
“It’s very likely the soul will regain its consciousness tonight, but I can’t tell when exactly.” Candy answers “But if you’re ready to either fight or negotiate, I can hasten the process and bring his consciousness in front of you. Just tell me when you’re ready, Faze”

>What do?

See you tomorrow

>>29771156
What about Froth?

>>29771160
Lets start with negotiation and than go to fighting if we don't like the deal, but first, what's going to happen if she doesn't accelerate it?

>>29771156
>You’re gonna have to negotiate with it or destroy its will completely.
If we manage to complete destroy his will, do we still retain his powers?

>>29771160
When the time comes for my sister Froth to deal with the Minotaur's soul, can I be their to help her? Maybe after this?

>>29771150
Silly pleeny you forgot to link in /cyoa/
That or I somehow missed it.

>>29771160
I would be ok with giving candy the soul. she can make better use of fire breath then we can.

>>29771468
She doesn't even have a body. Besides, we need this more. And the practice will be good for us. Someone as old as Candy can make do without a soul. And do you remember that she gets frozen thing later? Something tells me that fire and ice wont mix.

>>29771536
Bump

>>29771160
Pop pop pop

Let's watch that diamond niggas soul drop

B A T T L E

>>29771160
Let's see how negotiations go.

Time for a bed bump

>>29771468
That said if we do not give her the soul I vote negotiation.

>>29773268
nite

>>29771160
We can talk to him and prob him, then go for a fight.

>>29771160
This is a whole lot to take in here.
I think some things should be taken note of:

-He may not be inclined to work with us considering our overall goal is to kill his kind, on the other hand, he may be spiteful towards them for letting him die.

-Pretty sure he died of sickness in the Unearthed Woods, so that may be the trick to beating him in the fight

-We might be able to use the memory of his wife and kid against him

-We know he likes fire, so perhaps the mere fact we have a flame attack could be used to negotiate something with him. Like, an agreement to start a campfire every night or something so he can experience it

Overall, if Candy can't really teach us much more and we can't wake ourselves up to prepare another way, then I think we should fight him now while we are expecting it.

On another note entirely, we need to start training our sister as soon as possible so that she will be more ready for her fight tomorrow night.

>considering our overall goal is to kill his kind
It is only a handful of anons who consider that our overall goal I feel.

>>29775235
Primarily the "monsters must be monstrous" guys.

>>29775235
I rather doubt every dog is a plane destroyer anyway.

>>29775328
>>29775286
Ehh, I feel at least some sort of revenge is reasonable. At least on the head dog.

>>29775409
Agreed, They need to learn a lesson, not be destroyed.

Do you people seriously want a parasitic soul in our body? I say we crush his existence.

>>29775328
Wgat gets me Is that If I recall correctly only half the force that attacked our plane was dog anyway.

>>29775615
What do you find parasitic about this anon. I think you overlooked a few things.

>>29771156
Before we fight or negotiate with the dog, let's take a moment to explore our body sans two heads. Act like a snek. *hiss hiss*
We are hydra no more. We big sneak, *hiss*

>>29771156
Is our currently body a subconscious manifestation of our mind? Let's turn into a super hot lamia. With forelegs!

>>29771160
Can we disguise our self as a sexy diamond dog?

>>29777400
This. Work with something we're familiar with.

Goodnight bump
