Werewolf Alchemist Quest

Eyoooooooo

>Of yon currente events;

After scraping together enough funds to be able to travel on, you left the orcoid settlement with a close friend, Grell, en route to a farm supposedly a couple days out past the capital city. With an interest in learning about social perceptions of traveling with an orc, your working plan was to take leave of Almace and head for the Selden Empire in the lands to the southeast, but indeed first you want to make sure your travel companion wouldn't cause trouble.

Meanwhile the antagonist, Amelie a lesser demon, has been increasing her influence over a lord's estate and seeking to spread corruption without being noticed or detected. Generally she's been successful, going as far as burning down a chapel on the estate grounds, and bending the head maid to her will so that she can operate more freely.

For now though, Alicia is the focus. After an unfortunate situation involving some mole-men you lost most of your belongings, and in the face of an awful death by some wandering zombies, you transformed into wolven form. This came as both a benefit and a risk however, since with your shifted form you were able to beat a dullahan long enough to save Grell, but it meant revealing your true nature to him. He acted hostile and sought to kill you, thinking you a monster, until you proved you were indeed the same person just transformed.

Currently you're out in the woods together after fleeing from the headless knight, Grell still coming to grips with the lycanthrope truth. It's snowing and between you, you don't have many supplies, even clothes. Grell is only barely keeping from frostbite due to some blankets, though your fur serves to protect your from the elements well enough.

Wait wuuut
I thought we would start with Amelie

Oh well let's look for a cave or something with him so he doesn't freeze to death
We'll have time to deal with the news later

>>957867
You can start with Amelie if you want, but the main focus of course is "Werewolf Alchemist" so that's like the default mode.

Will leave the choice up to the players.

Rolled 62, 20 = 82 (2d100)

>>957874
Well let's get someplace safe then we'll change to Amelie
I don't feel confident enough to roll

Rolling for a safe place

>>957881
Not awful rolls, how far off the road are you willing to look though? The farther away you get, the more likely you are to find something like a cave.

>>957884
Scrap the second roll, auto correct

I dunno

Something Between close and far, no need to get lost again

>>957896
>62

You don't want to just disappear into the wild, but hanging close to the road won't get you anything. Wandering around together for a bit though you find an old abandoned coach. It's not amazing, but it's at least shelter out of the snow, and more comfy than a cave. Unfortunately that means you can't make a fire inside, and making one outside wouldn't work well since you used your last fire potion on the dullahan.

Grell though definitely welcomes it, just glad to get out of the cold wet snow.

>>957910
Hmmm
:/
I guess that's ok we can help him stay warm with our fuuuuuuur

Now lets change to Amelie plz i need that other anon for that one critical roll for Grell

Aha, it's here.

Pleased to see that we weren't killed by Grell yet.

>>957954
Mmmmkay

>>957910
Lets tell Grell we're going to sleep so we go back to looking human and tell him he should sleep too since we didn't get much sleep time last

And wrap ourselves around him to keep him warm

>>957986
Let's avoid wrapping ourselves around him unless he's got hypothermia; he probably won't react well to being that close until he fully comes to grips with us being a werewolf.

>>957986
You can sleep but given as few supplies as you have, do you want to change back? You remember that last time, you had to split up since there were really only enough clothes for one person to keep warm. Like, you don't even have shoes for example.

Of course to be fair, last time he left you in a bad place to be found easily.

>>958018
That's a good point; staying transformed would let us stay warm.

I think that's probably what we should do right now though I think even in his current state Grell would hesitate before letting us slowly freeze to death in our normal form

>>958018
Well shit
We're in a pretty bad spot

He has boots, pants and the blankets

He'll be alright

I don't think that'll matter after the rolls tho

We need to be normal for when we roll, i dont want to get an emotional breakdown and en up killing him cuz we were in wolf form

>>958047
Well sure he'll be fine, but changing back you only have a shirt.

Either way, choices, since >>958039
>>958047
conflict.

>>958064
U know wut
Lets go back to being a human and after the rolls we turn back to wolf form

>>958073
That could be risky if the roll doesn't go well; if he's not accepting changing again might antagonize him. And we'll have to change back to not freeze.

I'll agree if you're certain, though.

>>958073
That's possible, though changing back and forth is not good for your health. Certainly not when you haven't eaten in so long.

>Tfw when all of this is my fault

>>958100
Alright then, you decide to change back in the coach. You don't suppose Grell needs to know what you have in mind, he'll find out for himself. Either way you both take a side of the coach and try to keep warm, Grell wrapped up in the blankets and you with your fur, though not for too long. Few hours and you'll be back to normal.

---

Amelie then or keep on with Alicia?

>>958126
Stay with Alicia.

Amelie's more or less coming up roses right now; it's Alicia who will need the dice to keep things from fucking up.

>>958126
Like the other anon said in
>>957954
It's going to happen either way, might as well get it over with now

>>958130
>>958133
Right then, you awaken a few hours later to being very cold, shivering, as you look to see that you're back to normal human form. Without any clothes or fur (apart from the shed pile around you) though, you're freezing now. It's a simple matter to wake Grell up, and he gives you a blanket if you want it. There's also some underwear and a shirt you could put on, but really the blanket will help, without it you're kind of screwed.

>>958205
We should put on the blanket, and ask to share heat with him. Don't be surprised if he refuses.

I bet since we changed back while hungry, we'll have to roll if we need to get back into our werewolf form again.

Rolled 87 (1d100)

>>958212
Shit forgot to roll

And ask him if he found any food while he was out

>>958212
Right, we should probably discuss the elephant in the room.

>>958285
Hey
No matter we have an 87

At least we tried

>>958217
>>958285
>87

You talk with him for awhile about the way things are, and your own situation. He admits he had mixed feelings at first, but after some time consideration and getting the chance to sleep on it, he's come to the tentative conclusion that he doesn't mind it so much as long as you're honest with him, and that you can keep yourself under control.

Given the way things are though, he wonders if that has anything to do with the brand marks on you, as this was his first time seeing them.

>>958331
>Yes, they're the criminal and werewolf brands and im guessing you're no longer interested in me are you?

Ask him if he got the chance to find any food

I had a speech prepared for this moment but now that the time has come i would feel like a dick if i did it

>>958331
I forget, were they for criminal markings or werewolf marks?

Might as well come clean either way, since he's already trusting us with this.

>>958342
Both, one on the shoulder one on the thigh. You explain to him the reason for them, he figures that makes sense and is believable enough. A pretty tough time if must have been for you though.

>>958341
No he didn't get any food, he's just as hungry as you are, and you're kind of out of luck on the nutrition potion since you've not got any ingredients left. At least not of the sort which could help with the hunger.

What sort of speech would that be though?

Rolled 98, 58 = 156 (2d100)

>>958368
We could always try to transform and hunt for food for us, though it could be rough in our hungry state. Even so, I think it's our best shot right now. Also, remember to not use our teeth when hunting lest we infect the meat.

Rolling to transform and for the hunting.

Rolled 46 (1d100)

>>958368
Check the coach for any food left behind

As for the speech it was going to be a really harsh one detailing how we're going to part ways in the next friendly settlement but that doesn't seem necessary now

Rolling for the food

Rolled 78 (1d100)

>>958382
Shit
Scratch that roll, forgot to pray

:eyes:

Im one with the force, the force is with me

>>958382
The coach has probably been here over a year, definitely no food.

You may still want to part ways though, if your plan is to head southeast. You'd need a husband or fake husband who knew the language, customs and religion, and Grell doesn't fit those bills.

>>958383
You can't roll twice for the same thing.

He set zombies on us the last time that happened.

>>958388
Good point. There's a zombie outside now wanting to come in.

>>958384
That reminds me
>>958375
Are we actually going to the Empire?

We don't know the language, there's a war going on, different religion, we're a fookin werewolf , cultural apropriation

I feel like we should get our daughter and try to make the best we can out of it

>>958393
We were originally intending to go to the Empire, but I imagine losing the vast majority of our stuff derailed that pretty hard.

We aren't doing anything serious until we get back on our feet somehow.

>98 and 94

>>958410
Please no bitching (ha) out Grell. It's not unreasonable to feel uncomfortable with a relationship that takes such a dramatic turn, especially when he's still sorting out the details of his feelings on the matter.

>>958410
Well the problem here is that he accepts you for what you are, and is not opposed to a relationship, but you don't think he knows the risk involved. Not like people often do, since the more prominent sort of werewolves, the curse kind that force change at a full moon, don't spread it like a disease.

>>958375
>98

You don't want to, and really shouldn't be transforming so soon again after having turned human again, it's very bad for your health. Especially so given how hungry you are, but you see no other choice. You let Grell know what your plan is, as you work yourself up again, and like last time force yourself into the transformation process. Your human body breaks and contorts to the wolven form over about ten minutes, before you let out a customary howl once transformed, which scares the zombie off.

Now normally, as hungry as you are, you'd probably just turn on Grell right then and there and try to eat him. However this time you were able to retain an abnormal amount of clarity and focus. Probably it works out since the focus is still on food anyway, as you push your way out of the coach, and take to the snowy woods.

You search for awhile and eventually manage to track a big healthy buck wandering through. You stalk as close as you can get, before engaging the chase. Eventually though you do catch and bring it down with ravenous hunger. Knowing you have to take it back to the coach though, rather than ripping into it's guts immediately, instead you just pull off a leg for an initial snack. Still leave a bloody trail, but not like you're leaving chunks of spilled innards behind.

Eventually you return to the coach, dragging the dead deer along, showing Grell the catch. He's quite impressed for sure and compliments you, patting you on the head and scratching your ears without warning. If he's trying to patronize you, he's not obvious about it, his attention much more on the possible meal. Naturally he asks you if you wouldn't have any way to make some fire? He can stomach it raw, but it wouldn't hurt to also have a fire to be warm by.

Rolled 41 (1d100)

>>958443
Well next time we turn back we can lay down the risks and c if he still wants to Tap that vagoo

>blood trial
Plz no

Lets try to get a fire going with whatever we can scavenge nearby

We should turn back as soon as we've digested the food in case that headless fuck finds the trail

Rolling for fire

>>958453
You are able to talk to him while transformed, if you weren't aware.

And if the dullahan did find the trail, you can't imagine it a good idea if he found you as just a normal human. Considering he beat Grell obviously, and Grell is much more physical than you normally.

>>958458
I know we can talk while wolven but i rather not roll for focus and get a 1 or a low number and loose control

We would need to roll to be able to get a coherent explanation right?

>>958468
After that 98, no not really. A 1 would of course be bad, but just conversing with him, as said, for this transformation you've retained a remarkable amount of your intelligence and control.

>>958458
The idea of a fire sounds bad now that I think about it

Lets hide the fur under the coach while we scavenge for fire worthy materials

Also let's keep an ear out for the rider while we scavenge

>>958470
Lets ask him then

>>958473
Which fur are you hiding under the coach?

>>958476
The pile we shed after turning back to normal
Bruh

>>958478
Wasn't sure if you meant like the skin of the buck or something.

Well anyway you don't really find much that would be good for a fire, at least not in the woods. Grell though suggests maybe breaking off parts of the coach and burning that? Nothing which would compromise it as a shelter, but like some of the underside, some of the portion under the seating, whatever is dry.

While considering this, you gather up the fur you shed from the first de-transformation, and dig under the coach to stuff it under.

Rolled 17 (1d100)

If it doesn't compromise the shelter it's ok

>>959104
>>958585
Looks like you're out of luck!

At least for keeping warm. You can both stomach raw meat though, so hunger isn't a problem anymore, as you dig in together out of necessity. Given your bigger size now, Grell is pretty impressed too, at how much you can eat, comparable to his own appetite.

>>959106
Well shiiiet

Lets wait until we've digested the meat then let's go to sleep, hopefully tomorrow the weather is going to be better

And ask Grell to hide the fur we shed in case the headless rider comes back

>>959127
Or
Hmmmmmmmm
:/

I dunno

Should we stay wolven until we reach a settlement or?

>>959134
That's your choice. It would at least allow you to travel together rather than one taking all the clothes and one staying behind.

If you wander into a settlement while wolven though, without any clothes on, then people are going to freak out and correctly assume you're a werewolf. If you had some clothes, they might instead at least just assume you're a beastling.

Rolled 13 (1d100)

Lets skin that deer then, we can make a cloak or something out of its hide

Rollin for skinning if necessary

Rolled 72 (1d100)

Well make two rolls, one for skinning and one for cleaning the skin. This is something Grell would help with as well, given your new hand-paws.

You manage to skin and clean the dear fairly well. You won't be able to tan it which would be better, but it's not a bad start. Still will probably look weird if you go into town wearing just it, since you're already furred so it wouldn't stand out, as much as if you were wearing actual clothes.

Unfortunately while doing this, you hear a shot ring out and a sharp pain, as a bullet grazes you. The sound is too hard to locate for you, and to your eyes in a fearful glance around you can't see a source. Grell naturally dives for cover by the coach, and similarly is trying to look for the point of origin.

You yell out that you're not a wolf and are sane. You hear no response. Now that you think about it, that might be a worse sign, since responding like that obviously points out that you're a werewolf. A beastling would be wearing clothes more likely.

Honestly I didn't thought I would get this far and I don't know how to roll, I'm not into this.
Anyone else can roll for me tho, that is if it's allowed of course.

>>959282
And ask Grell to vouch for us

>>959305
>>959315
You try talking up again and get Grell to speak for you as well. Eventually you hear a response, as a fellow emerges from the trees with a musket trained on you, saying if the orc is with you then he's similarly guilty. Pretty accommodatingly he orders you to back away from the coach and the deer and to get by a tree, the both of you. Grell waits to see what you do first though.

>>959435
>Guilty of fucking what? I haven't done anything bad
>what did i do?

>>959464
He correctly assumes you're a werewolf, and closer now he can see the brand on your thigh which marks you a criminal. Maybe it's not his job to dole out justice as just a citizen, but it'd be wrong of him not to take you to the proper human authorities, as they are human lands.

At this distance you can see he's an elf, so the first shot you figure, intentionally wasn't a head shot. That would also explain how he snuck up on you.

>>959484
Hmmmmm
No one will mind if we kill him right?
Hes an elf

>>959484
And did he shoot us with silver or a regular bullet?

>>959653
Yeah just a regular bullet, it hurt but it won't cause permanent damage.

>>959626
Well he'd probably mind, as would any family. And if anyone knew, that would be murder of course. Though out in the wild...

>>959685
No one has to know
Come out with our hands in the air and walk towards him

When we're close enough grapple him and slit his throat

Hes an elf so i think we can overpower him pretty easily without the need to roll

>>959727
Well he's not going to allow you to get that close without reacting.

You can roll though for the attack, another roll to see if you can talk his guard lower at least.

>>959797
>come back to consideration over whether to kill a hunter who wants to take us in
Business as usual then.

Remind me, other than stealing the scale and being a werewolf, what have we done that's against the law?

Perhaps we can talk him down.

If we can't... well it'll be us or him, because heavens know we won't be getting away from the law alive.

>>959815
Stealing the scale wasn't why you were considered a criminal, that happened recently. You were labeled a criminal because the belief is that you were responsible for your late teacher's death. After that, going on the run, you had to do things just to survive, some of which were criminal.

Either way, make some rolls for what you want to do. Or present a case good enough to him, that a lower roll can still work.

Explain that we were wrongly accused of our original crime, and while we did have to commit crimes to survive after being forced on the run, we have done our best to remain honest and just. We just want to leave without any trouble.

If he doesn't go for that, explain that he doesn't have silver shot, and we are right now praying that we won't end today with the death of an honest man on our conscience. Just turn around and leave, and nobody is the wiser.

>>959941
>98, 43

Well he doesn't much buy your initial reasoning about being innocent and all that, but when you threaten to kill him and that he doesn't have silver bullets, that's a real concern. Instead of you then he trains the musket on Grell, and says he's still reporting you once he gets to civilization, but takes his leave back off through the woods.

Other than that, you and Grell are back to being alone. You've both eaten now, and both are able to travel through the weather, or do whatever now.

>>960396
Mmmmmmmta

>>960389
I feel like we need to kill him now, if he reports us they're going to be checking for the marks on any visitors in the towns

>>960396
Right, time to beat tracks. We need to get away before the guards come tracking us, but we should try to make it past some shallow flowing water (like a creek) and onto some hard area (like rocks) that would conceal our scent and tracks.

How far is it to any of the borders? If it's a day or so, then we might be able to jump the border without any excessive suspicion.

I don't want to kill the guy when he's decided to leave though, even if he is going to call down the guards on us.

Problem are bound to find us during that time

>>960614
And it took us two days to get the beastling problem solved

>>960548
Well you've been on the run for years now, just leaving isn't like to make the heat die down that much, because the high profile of the guy whose death your charged with, he was the King's royal alchemist.

>>960457
The borders are quite far away in any direction, maybe a week of travel or more, by foot. Faster by transport. The capital is towards the interior of the country, and you're right near it, so...

>>960422
Well you know at least, that if someone reports a werewolf, it's not like a nationwide manhunt goes out through the country. It'd be like, he'd go and report it, and whatever town he's from would be on the alert, maybe a sheriff and a team would go patrolling.

As long as you don't follow him home though, or he's from where you're going, it shouldn't be too much a problem. Just don't run afoul of any lawmen after, who are on the lookout for wolf beastlings, to stop and search for marks.

>>960640
>King's royal alchemist
Fug, forgot about that.

Yeah, we probably won't be waiting it out.

But heading off to another town should likely be sufficient for now.

>>960672
You want to just continue on your way together then? It's not too much farther, you can reach the next town probably by nightfall.

>>960715
Let's do so, but let's only stay long enough to work for/bargain for the bare minimum we need to get back on the road.

>>960740
That's fine, sure thing. So you get back on the road together, and continue onwards to the next town, choosing to veer off the road when you need to, like seeing people come down the way.

Eventually by nightfall you come to a town, a welcome sight. Especially for Grell, who after this far travel, had his boots soaked through and even with the blankets he's freezing. The question is, how do you want to approach the town? Grell can probably head on in no problem, but you most certainly can't.

>>960762
It's risky, but I guess we can change back and make our way in. We'll plead that our stuff was stolen in the night by thieves (which is actually pretty close to the truth), and try to get some basics like food and traveling gear.

Hold off on asking for alchemy equipment for now; I guarantee anyone asking about a woman and an orc later would learn of that detail if we did so.

>>960821
You can change back but remember it takes a few hours, so unless you find some place to do it, you'll wake up naked in the snow.

Yay we're actually making progress

>>960855
We should let Grell do the shopping while we stay outside, we can change back when we have clothes and shiet

>>960879
So is he getting you wolf-fitting clothes or normal human ones?

>>960884
Normal ones

>>960884
If he can somehow find a way to procure clothes, then I'm all for >>960879

We should prioritize human-fitting clothes, since we really don't want to be shifted that much.

>>960897
>>960900
Oookay make some rolls. To see if he can find a place that he can buy some clothes, and then if he can find some for you.

That works, I guess.

>>960911
>76, 75

Well that's your choice, if you want to go around wolven, or human.

Either way, Grell is able to head into town while you wait outside, and finds a place that sells clothes, using the money you saved from the mole men, to get both you and him some new clothes and also winter wear.

If you are going to change back, did you want to find a place to do it, or just lay down in the snow and risk getting freezy? Grell can probably wait by for you to change, but it will still be uncomfortable, and getting dressed out in the snow.

>>960948
Just find a relatively concealed place to do it.

Also, let's not run around unnecessarily as a wolfling with limited intelligence and perpetual ADHD.

>>960968
Alright then, you can find some old wood shed on someone's property. Grell waits by while you settle in to transform back, ending up taking a nap. Some time later and he stirs you awake, with new clothes ready. You feel awful though, very sore and tired, and stiff enough that you can't move well on your own. Fortunately he helps dress you, and can carry you into town. You can feel firsthand, the effect of changing back and forth so rapidly in a short time, and probably won't feel right for at least a couple days after.

Once in town though, it's pretty late but you have no trouble moving around. You get stopped and questioned a few times as to why an orc fellow is carrying around a human woman, but a simple nodding to Grell's explanation is all that's needed.

>What's your next move?

>>961059
First question, do we have any money left?

If not, we'll probably have to find a flophouse or something to stay at until we can move enough to work.

If we do, see if we can find a room at a cheap inn where we can rest our bones. Hopefully, we'll be well enough to try to strike a deal with a merchant to make some potions with their equipment for money.

>>961059
We. Should find a spot to rest at if we have the money for it, if we don't have the money we should ask Grell to harvest alchemy materials on the Outskirts of the town and then whip up some potions if we still have our equipment

>>961087
>>961109
You've got a little money left, enough that the two of you could live on for a few days assuming no other money being gained. Your choice how you want to spend it, like letting a room or whatnot.

>>961127
If we have enough for even basic equipment, buy it and work with Grell to get the supplies and make decent potions to sell off for some cash.

We might be able to get out of this town as soon as we recover from the transformation effects.

>>961148
Yeh this works

>>961152
>>961148
Alright then, unless you have anything specific in mind, you can go ahead and make a few rolls. Two for each day, so 6 rolls total.

Rolled 9, 60, 91, 30, 58, 31 = 279 (6d100)

>>961226
Oh gawd
I got a bad feeling about this

Rolled 81, 43, 4, 60, 52, 68 = 308 (6d100)

>>961226
Oh wow.

Rollan.

>>961250
>308

Ok so each day passes by fairly well, with Grell seeking or buying ingredients while you stay in to rest and work on making potions. Only the second day do things fall short, where he wasn't able to come up with anything useful.

Either way though you are able to create a large batch of potions which you manage to sell for a heft sum, at least enough that you're better off than when you came here. In the meantime, things remain on good standing between you and Grell, though are getting closer and closer. He's not aware of the risk from intimacy with you since you haven't progressed to a point where that was an issue, but you know he's interested and only by your refusal have things not gone that far. You feel obligated to tell him, but while things remain as they are it's not a serious risk to him.

Either way, the couple you initially set out to meet, aren't far from here, about a few hours walk outside this town.

>What is your next move?

>>961372
Tbqh, there's no longer a fookin reason to go there, i wanted to go there to get him to permanently join us in our travels and maybe in the future get close enough to him to reveal that we are a werewolf and be ok with it, but he already knows so there's no point in going over there now

We should tell him about the risks tho we'll decide what after we get his response

>>961414
Ah, so that's why.

>>961372
Let's explain the risks to him, and hope he isn't too angry/disappointed.

>>961421
>>961414
Few days later and once you're well again, you take the time to sit with him and explain the situation with your disease and how it can be transmitted. He panics a little at first thinking he's at risk, but you explain that from what you understand, it's shared through intimate contact. No kissing, things like that. He's a little relieved and says it makes sense now why you never wanted to go too far.

Given this info he asks for some time alone as he goes out for awhile, giving you the chance to pack all the belongings away. When he returns, he says he doesn't want to catch the disease, so a serious relationship is out of the question, however he's content to travel with you and help you out however you need, as long as you remain within a relative distance of the capital, so that when you part ways he can return home again. Out of curiosity though he does ask how likely he is to catch it off you, like if it's a guaranteed thing if you kiss once you give it to him, or if maybe once in awhile you could go all the way for a quickie and still be ok.

So looking forward, what's your plan now then? You're ready to leave the town, wherever you want to go, or do.

>>961485

>>961512
You'd best not say shit to him that he doesn't fucking deserve.

>>961485
...While we're waiting on the other anon, let's plan on leaving for a settlement close (but not too close) to the border with the Empire, so we can arrange for a "husband" to get us in and situated.

>>961549
You want to get Alicia jr. before leaving? Probably easier than crossing the continent and crossing back, if you even do find a cure.

>>961592
Remind me of the circumstances she is currently living under, as well as her age.

>>961485
Well shit i cant find it

If we fuk he gets infected right? If so tell him

It might not have the same harshness but here it goes something like this

>So the reason i brought you to see the fucking couple was to maybe get you to come with me on my travels and maybe someday in the future i would reveal you the truth and maybe you would be ok with it so we could get a relationship going, but after hearing your opinion i realize that's not going to happen so I don't see a reason to keep going on this fucking pointless trip, because let's be real here, you're not going to give up your happy and normal orc life to have a go at getting a relationship going with a werewolf

>Neither of us are getting what we wanted out of this trip, you're not going to get what's in between my legs and I'm not going to get that possible partner i was hoping for, so, i suggest we part ways here so you can go back to your friends and i can continue looking for my daughter

>If they ask what happened just tell them i died or something

Wew

>>961604

Jeez
A please wouldn't hurt you

>>961604
She'd be 8 about right now, and is living with the family of your late husband, under supervision of the church. Your in-laws aren't a fan of you, holding you responsible for the death of your husband, and of course the fact that you're a criminal.

You haven't seen her since your husband passed though, when she was just an infant. If you spend too much time away, well, you've already missed most of her childhood. You can't imagine getting her would be easy though, as far as you know she'd be under some pretty strict supervision due to her disease.

>>961621
Fuk
>it might not have the same harshness but here it goes something like this

It goes something like this*

>>961621
>daughter
Oh shit
I spilled the beans
Quickly correct ourselves and say
>ahem, cure

>>961621
>If we fuk he gets infected right?

It's not like if you kiss once he suddenly catches it, guaranteed. It's by chance that any time you exchange that kind of contact, that might be the time the disease takes hold. For example, it was a couple months at least before your husband caught it off you and by then you were married so were in regular intimate contact.

So like any disease it's a chance, he might never catch it, or he might catch it from just a first kiss, but it's probably inevitable and when it happens he has it for life, sans a cure.

Either way though, that's a pretty reasonable and straightforward argument to put to him.

>>961621
...That speech is really entitled considering that he has a right to know what he's getting into with a relationship.

We really don't have a good reason to be talking to him like that either.

Please don't say this to him.

>A please wouldn't hurt you
Yeah, it was really brusque, but I didn't notice until I had already posted. Sorry about that Zaffre.

>>961627
Thanks. Sorry for being rough.

I don't see how she would really want anything to do with us unless we've found a cure, and taking her away from the only life she's know isn't exactly a choice we should make for her.

>>961662
I didn't think it sounded rude, no skin off my nose.

>isn't exactly a choice we should make for her.

As her mother and closest living relative, I'd think you'd be exactly the person to make that choice for her.

How you consider the situation is up to you, but if Alicia's motivation for finding the cure is to be able to be together again, the idea of coming back decades from now with a cure seems simply a parental obligation as they'd be strangers at that point.

>>961662
Unfortunately i dont know what entitled means

Yes we do m8, I brought him here and got the both of us in trouble just for that selfish reason, if he doesn't want a relationship he might as well just leave now, there's no reason for him to stay

If I was Alicia i would be pretty pissed Tbqh, telling us that he doesn't want anything serious after everything we went through as the weird couple we were i would be pretty pissed

>>961686
I support getting our daughter and then looking for a cure just fyi

>>961686
I suppose we can try to meet with her to see what she wants from her life. Dragging her all over the country isn't the most responsible thing to do, but letting her rot in a strictly structured monastery for fear of her condition isn't really any better.

Shit would be risky as fuck though, with the church oversight.

>>961699
Entitled means that it takes a lot of things for granted from him.

He got with us because we were interested in him, with the default assumption that we didn't have anything this earth-shattering with the skeletons in our closet. This is literally the sort of thing that could ruin his life, and he's sticking with us out of loyalty anyways. He has no obligation to continue the relationship considering that this is stuff we kept secret from him that could completely and irrevocably change his life.

Saying stuff like that to him under these circumstances is just mean.

>>961717
He said he wouldn't be up for it, nothing is going to change his mind about the chance of a relationship, he's not going to give up his life for us

>He has no obligation to continue the relationship

That's the point of that harsh and mean speech friend-o
I harshly told him to leave if he wants to, because, i feel like a speech like that is necessary after telling us off after everything we've gone through

I c where you're coming from, but I still feel like it's something that would fit given how close we once were

>>961686
Let's give him the speech in
>>961621
While looking sad, disappointed and angry the whole time!
Yeah!

>>961758
It's unreasonable to spring something like "I'm a werewolf who could infect you" on somebody and get angry when they start having second thoughts. It's a testament to his connection with us that he didn't just abandon us entirely when he found out about it, considering that he probably would never have gotten with us if he had known that we were a werewolf.

Being angry over this just doesn't make sense when he's not in the wrong here. He doesn't have a moral obligation to stick with us and be infected.

Ayooo so what's the plan?

>>961787
It's going to piss him off, and he's going to rightfully call us an ungrateful bitch.

It will burn any bridges we've built with him.

It is a bad idea.

>>961796
Let's travel in the general direction of our daughter, and try to make a profit at towns we stop at with Grell's help fetching ingredients.

>>961791
Well we're not angry at him, we're angry at the fact we're not getting a relationship!
We're sadgry, sad cuz we leaving him and angry cuz we're going to continue to be alone cuz we weren't able to get a relationship going

I didn't intend for that to come out as being angry at him, i wanted to make it come off as sad and disappointed that we couldn't get together

>>961799
It's not like we were going to make anymore after we parted ways

>>961813
Oh cmon, i didn't write all that to just leave it there
don't do that again, please

>>961796
Let's do
>>961787
And then get moving towards our daughter

>>961823
This is a really, really bad idea.

I know what it's like to work hard on something and be told that it isn't good enough or worse, but this is dangerous. He doesn't deserve this, he's not the one at fault, and he has no obligation to have a relationship with us, considering we are a werewolf.

Doing this could very well cause him to go to the constable to turn us in because of what a dagger to his heart it would be.

Gonna need to do opposed rolls?

>>961833
>he's not at fault
I never said he was

>he has no obligation to have a relationship with us, considering we are a werewolf
All the more reason for him to leave, he also runs the risk of getting infected if he continues to travel with us

>turn us in
Doubt it, he understands the risks, that's why he doesn't want a relationship also, he likes us too much to just rat us out and he's proven that he's loyal by staying with us after the reveal

>>961863
>I never said he was
Being upset about his refusal to continue the relationship is pretty clearly predicated on the actions he took.

And we'll have just flung his loyalty to us in his face because he decided he doesn't want to be infected.

Angrily telling him off like that will shit all over an orc who's only ever been an ally to us.

>>961863
To clarify, there is no way that anyone can hear that speech and not think it's an attack on the person it's being told to.

>>961878
While I think maybe not such a direct argument at him would be fair, it is worth noting that Alicia would probably be emotional on the matter, so it's not unreasonable that she might fly off a handle at him or not be the most collected sort when going over the situation with him.

Not like you can expect an analytical sit-down deconstruction of the situation from her, in this. Sure, don't just rip him a new one verbally, but you might be a bit upset and not thinking totally clearly either.

>>961871
Ugh
>1st paragraph
Like i said, we're not angry at him, we're sad and disappointed, maybe even angry/upset if u want, that relationship ain't gonna happen
We can't be angry at him for wanting to be normal

>2nd paragraph
We're still looking out for him in some weird way, if he doesn't want to get infected the best way to prevent that is to let him go
Let go the things you love or something
Right?

>>961882
I suppose that's true, I just figured that she would be sad but resigned since this writing was on the wall since the relationship was started.

She had to have known that it would probably end this way (which quite frankly still ended far better than what was likely to result from revealing her secret), so I figured her emotions would be somewhat less intense from that understanding.

As long as she's not being too unfair though, I suppose an emotional discussion isn't right out.

>>961889
Well considering with her late husband, who knew and accepted her for it, and willingly caught the disease from her, that's kind of cursed her with hope, that there are other people like him out there who would accept her, or her daughter.

>>961891
I didn't consider that, though mentioning that to Grell would open one hell of a can of worms.

In this light, Alicia's honestly kind of pitiful.

>>961892
>Alicia's honestly kind of pitiful.

More like KIND OF PATHETIC

So did ya'll settle on a plan?

>>961898
Still down for that speech while looking sad and disappointed

>>961898
Let's just do a sad and less unfair and aggressive version of the other anon's speech. Pathetic Alicia I can sort of accept.

>>961901
>>961899
Right then, you sit down with Grell and give him your speech. It's emotional and not very well thought out, but gets the point across; you hoped that there might be something there, but it's not fair on him to change his life so drastically for you, especially when it was something found out later. It's best if you just part ways then, and sorry for wasting his time.

He feels bad for you and when you get teary he pulls you close and holds you for support. Things are quiet for awhile while you collect yourself, feeling bad but relieved to have gotten all that off your chest. Eventually he speaks up, but it's not what you'd expect. He heard daughter, and while he would have departed here if that's what you think was best, now he can't just let you go when you still need help. And besides, the relationship so far wasn't for nothing. You were great company and showed him a great time, not to mention you know how to take care of a guy downstairs, he laughs. True enough you didn't slam, but you can't deny he also made you feel good in a special way.

Finally bringing your face up to his, he steals a deep kiss as per his forward orcy nature, which you find unexpected of course but very strange given the teeth difference. Tusks, odd way to kiss, and only stirs your curiosity to how two orc kissers would do it. Either way, instinctively you try to stop him for fear of his health, but he's forceful about it, and only lets go when he's satisfied.

After that, he says it's time to go get your daughter.

Alright yeah, you can town hop making a living off your alchemy skill.

Do you want to get a method of travel though or just cross Almace by foot?

>>961914
The risk of getting stopped for inspection is lower by foot right?

If so then lets go by foot

I feel like we're in a Quarian position with Grell, with the risk of infection by contact thing

can we boost his immune system in any way? Would that help?

>>961914
Hm, I don't really have an opinion, though horses take a lot of care and gear to keep properly, and hitching rides on things like carts and stuff mean leaving behind traces of our passage.

I suppose purchasing rides on carts would be the fastest and cheapest way to do it, despite the evidence left behind.

>>961916
This is true, perhaps going on foot is better.

Bolstering his immune system isn't a bad idea either, though that's dependent on whether therianthropy is specifically a pathogenic disease or something different but similar.

>>961916
>>961920
Foot or wagon then? Chance is higher of getting noticed by wagon, but going by foot can be more suspicious, at least on the road.

As for improving his immune system, you only know the disease isn't like a typical infection, like where you cut your hand and it gets infected. It's a lifelong sort of thing, so finding ways of fighting it, or to improve odds against infection, well that alone would be a huge benefit. Maybe there is a way to do it, like with a cure, but you're not sure how to go about it. Well apart from doing something like using ye olde condomme, but that's not the same as improving immunity. More importantly though, you're not in a relationship so it shouldn't matter anyway.

The disease is a virus, but not even bacteria are understood at this time.

It does occur to you that werewolves of the curse variety, can't catch disease-based lycanthropy, nor can a disease-based werewolf be cursed. And at the same time, a cursed werewolf can be cured relatively easily. It's still a dangerous thing though, for obvious reasons.

>>961922
I'm inclined to go on foot to help bolster our reagent stores.

This should be helpful in many more ways than just economically, and we can plead to being an alchemist with a hired guard if anyone comes asking.

>>961922
Yeh let's go by foot and keep a reasonable distance from the road

And lets collect them alchemy ingredients

I'm bowing out for the night. Apologies for being hardheaded earlier.

>>961923
This is fine, but don't expect to really bring in a killing on ingredients. Gathering things of use is notoriously hard in the winter, especially the snow, and if you go off the road slogging through the snow it will severely hamper your travel speed.

It's possible but not really worth the return on investment.

Either way though, heading for the next town, make two rolls!

Yeah you progress along to the next town by foot, no major problems along the way besides an occasional stop by a lawman or patrol, but no trouble. It does take longer though by foot, a good few days and having to be on the lookout for stops. Fortunately you find travelers along the way also stopping for a night here, or a camp of woodsmen there, all fairly welcoming.

You reach the next town though, able to stay as long as you care to money permitting.

Rolling for travel.

>>964238
Good shit

I c the dice gods are being reasonable

>>964238
>70, 81

Another week of travel without any issue, quite impressive all things considering. Upon reaching this town, you're over halfway to your intended destination. Unless you have any plans for the stop here, you can go ahead and kill two birds with one stone, two rolls for the town (I assume making and selling a batch of potions) and two for the next road.

Rolled 81, 82, 78, 58 = 299 (4d100)

>>964411
Let's see about keeping a few potions for ourselves this time, so that we have some in reserve again.

Otherwise, same deal as before.

>>964411
We should stay at least a day to rest a Lil bit more
And maybe take a day off since we've been on the road for a while

>>964451
U okay with that homes?

>>964460
Sure, I guess.

Maybe use that day to learn about Grell or go through our cure research some more.

>>964473
Why not both?
We'll talk during the day and read our notes during the evening

>>964451
Yeah you can keep some to yourself, probably for the best since before this you were kind of running on empty. Anyway yeah with such good fortune, it's like God himself is pushing you along to your destination. You make a good amount in the town you reached, travel the roads and once more reach a settlement, this being the last one before the end goal.

If you want to take a day off though that's fine, you wake up in the morning together at a reasonable time, nice for once to be able to sleep in some. You've got an inn room together, and a town outside, what's your next move?

>>964505
A day to relax from the weeks of travel, and then another day to plan how we're going to approach the matter of retrieving our daughter.

For now, let's learn more about Grell and see about just enjoying ourselves in town (though preferably without spending much). Tonight, let's see about continuing our research into the cure.

>>964505
Inb4 we happen upon a certain young maid and her shy and proper friend.

>>964531

>>964531
Would be neat, but no, the baron's estate is a lot closer to the capital, you're approaching the western coast of Almace.

>>964526
That's not too much to swing, you spend the day going around town and try to get to know Grell better. He doesn't go on too much about himself though, he was given away as a boy, signed off by his parents for labor till he came of age. Pretty standard for city-living orcs, then he started making a life for himself in the orcoid settlement outside the capital, whereupon the two of you met. You know he's younger than you, so he must not have been there for such a long time.

At any rate it's a good rest from travel and that night you continue work on a cure, while Grell busies himself with getting supplies for the rest of the trip.

Anything else in mind, or go for the last leg of the journey?

Rolled 55, 76 = 131 (2d100)

>>964581
Not really; I suppose we'll wait on planning until we actually know what we're in for-

Ah. Blow a good bit of cash purchasing ingredients for all manner of alchemy. Doing this here instead of in the town where our daughter is being held might help avoid leaving a major trail for any investigators looking to follow up on what ends up going down there.

Rolling for travel to the next town

Rolled 53, 99 = 152 (2d100)

Rollin for better odds

>>964605
Huh.

>>964605
>53, 99

Wow, the fates must have convened on this, your reunion journey. The remainder of the trip goes by well enough, and when you reach the little coastal village you were headed for since the beginning, not only do you manage to enter without issue but you even hear from the town watch who checked you when you tried to enter, that indeed the signs point to your daughter still being here. Nothing is confirmed directly, since you can't really ask without drawing suspicion, but it's a relief that you were right all alone, if their words are to be believed.

So here you are, at the finish line. What's the plan, Grell wants to know?

>>964633
We need to scout out the place and c how things are first
We need to know what are we going to be facing when we're in there

>>964633
I'm terrified about when the other shoe is going to drop.

If we have an idea of where she is being held, let's take a general look at the place from the distance, maybe see what we're going to be up against.

Once we have some information, we can retire to an inn room and begin assembling our plan.

>>964653
>>964651
In what manner do you wish to approach this? Like a general sort of plan of attack, do you want to sneak around and spy information, do you want to try to talk to people and learn stuff, etc...

Whatever the plan, make two rolls. How well it works, and if it's suspicious to get noticed.

Rolled 81, 3 = 84 (2d100)

>>964682
Sneak around and eavesdrop on dem peeps

>>964689
WOOOOOOOOO BASED DICE GOD(S[?])

Rolled 14, 63 = 77 (2d100)

>>964682
Directly asking about it could be... very bad.

Let's wander around and observe the compound from a distance to see what we can learn. Err on the side of being inconspicuous.

Meanwhile, Grell waits in a bar near the compound. If any guards there are secular, they will likely go there after a long, boring day of work; and he can eavesdrop on them with impunity.

Rolled 86 (1d100)

Rolling opposition dice.

>>964718
Opposition to what?

Also from what you can tell there isn't really a complex that you notice, it's just the same coastal fishing village as expected. The church here is bigger than you might expect but it's certainly not some fortified place, though you don't need to roll to notice there are a few actual guards on hand. They aren't protecting the church though, rather the minister during his duties, when he goes someplace other than the church.

>>964725
I figured my idea was different from his, so we would do that thing where we would roll to see whose idea is used.

Either way, that's pretty much all I wanted from the first part, but I still want Grell to be in a nearby bar to listen in on anything a guard or local might mention.

>>964718
I thought
>>964689
And
>>964704
Would be the same thing

>>964734
Eavesdropping ourselves (or really getting anywhere near the guards) exposes us to unnecessary risk since we are the one who they are likely on guard for.

>>964739
Bruh
I rolled a 3 for determining if we looked suspicious
I think we're good

>>964747
Setting aside that a 3 is terrifyingly low, I think it's safest if we take this slow.

>>964752
Well shiiiet
I thought the lower the number the better
>>964725
Am i wrong?

>>964759
Low rolling has never been good.

>>964767
>>964759
Seeing how the rolls turned out though, I'm pretty sure we're doomed to be caught either way. I guess we're just squabbling over what flavor of "caught" we are.

Rolled 18, 20 = 38 (2d100)

>>964704
Well

Support rolling his action

>>964776
I'm not sure support rolls work that way.

I don't suppose Zaffre could clarify?

>>964781
Technically its a different action
I can support roll that right?

Either way we're fuked

>>964786
I think we only get one roll to put toward the action of our choice.

If we could give up a roll on one action to support others, that would be abuseable.

But yeah, Alicia's fucked

>>964781
Yeah, you can make a new roll to support either's action.

>>964795
Shit's abuseable, but okay.

We're already essentially rolling only Bo2 anyways, so I guess this is just leveling things out.

>>964795

Oh Shiiiet!
>>964791
Roll for mine Bruh

>>964799
Something tells me that would be stretching his goodwill a little far.

Rolled 16, 91 = 107 (2d100)

>>964799
I don't want zombies attacking us in town, and we've already got a 63 for concealment, so that should be sufficient, right?

Here's a roll anyways for the express situation that he greenlights doing this though.

>>964814
Well
It looks like we learned almost nothing but managed to stay hidden

>>964814
>16, 91

Ayo so, yes, you didn't learn much, but you continue to go unnoticed in town. It seems with the wars going on, people coming and going isn't a strange thing, and the village sees a fair amount of activity as a result.

So given the lack of information otherwise, you can only assume that your daughter would still be with your in-laws, living with them. Their house most likely, if last you checked, things have remained the same.

Rolled 38, 78 = 116 (2d100)

>>964934
Hmm, I'm inclined to press our luck in hopes of finding more/better information.

Let's do the thing with having Grell eavesdrop at the bar near the church while we (very cautiously) scope out our in-laws place from a distance. It's literally the one place here that a person would likely recognize us on sight.

Rolling for info.

Rolled 18, 82 = 100 (2d100)

>>964938
Support roll

>>964938
>38, 78

There isn't any bar in town, just a tavern. Grell hangs out there though to try and see what he can learn. He's able to keep up his stealthy guise well enough, and learns that the guards accompany the minister whenever he goes to a specific house and brings a girl to and from the church, or her relatives do. Grell figures there's obviously more to the story, but he can't get any more info than that. Unfortunately while he does keep up his obscured motives, just him the person gets noticed by the guards along with his interest, for the purpose of employment. He's a big tough looking orc fellow, how would he like a job as a church protector?

Either way, where are you planning on staying while in town, till you choose to act?

>>964947
I figured we would stay in an inn on the outskirts or something.

Either way, this could be an excellent opportunity for information. Have him inquire about the details of the job, like the hours, the pay, how much of a pain the minister is to deal with, if he'll be standing guard or doing patrols or both, that sort of thing.

Ah, I know. This could work well.
If he joins up with them, he could bring along drugged pastries with him one day that would inspire sleep after a few hours. That might be Alicia's opportunity.

>>964947
Ho shit
If it weren't for the guards we would be able to knock that guy out and get our daughter

Hmmmm

I rather have Grell stay out of trouble

>>964963
That sounds really good
But can we bake? Or are going to buy them and then drug em?

>>964985
We'll just bake and drug them.

We're an alchemist, and we can presumably contrive a sleep drug that can be concealed with enough flavor.

Hell, it doesn't even have to be pastries, it could be anything that a person (particularly a bored, worn down guard) would especially want to eat, as long as its flavor can hide the drug.

>>964992
BUY
BUY and drug them

Shit, I need to get to bed. That would have been a serious mistake.

Rolled 69 (1d100)

>>964992
Im down for that but where are going to bake them tho?

>>965001
Lol, caught me mid-post

>>964947
We should go with this anons idea
Rollin to buy some nice looking pastries and to get some good roophies whiped up

Rolled 37 (1d100)

>>965007
Fuk, forgot the other roll

Also i gtg sleep

>>965007
It'll be a day or two at least, though. He'd have to get the job, then get situated enough that bringing in food like that wouldn't be seen as odd.

Hell, having him blatantly bring in food (for himself) every day leading up to the drugging would be best for getting the others used to the idea of his bringing food in.

>>965017
Then let's just buy the pastries and carefully enjoy what this town has to offer while they get used to him

Can u support roll plz?

And we should lay the plan to Grell too

And now im going to sleep for realzies

Rolled 80, 80 = 160 (2d100)

>>965027
Rolling for roofies, I suppose, though I question the choice to roll for something a few days ahead.

>>965036
I meant support roll for the pastries m80

We need to find nice looking ones so the guards want a piece of em

>>965043
Yeah, first roll is for pastry quality, second is for successfully concealing a drug.

>>964963
That can work. Grell figures to take them up on the job. He'll have to meet with the minister to figure some things about and get accepted to the job, but from how the describe it, at first he'll just be on hand in case they need him. Eventually though if he proves reliable then he'll do the same duties they do and help guard the church, and such.

If he accepts the job, he can see the minister tomorrow, and start work the day after that. They'll really only need him to sort of hang around the church in the beginning period when he first gets the job, with occasionally accompanying the minister one day each week, to help with a girl in town.

>>965036
>80, 80

Yeah that's pretty great, you can buy some tasty treats and make a sleeping drought to put in them, and by appearance and taste they're quite appealing.

So when for would you like to spring this plan?

>>966293
Let's keep up the charade until he goes out with the minister to help with the girl in town.

Ideally, we would be able to time the pastries early so that they kick in when she's taken to the church, at which point he can trap the minister in a closet (unless he was the sort to sample the pastries too) or something while Alicia discusses leaving town with her daughter. If she accepts, we find a way to smuggle her out; either way we get the hell out of town before they wake up and call down the guard on our asses.

As for prep work, see about getting him some basic food to take with him every day, enough to be noticeable. If asked, have him play being beleaguered by a girlfriend who wants to be sure that he has enough to eat at his new job every single day, no matter how he protests. This'll be prep work for the drugging day when he comes in with way too much (as a "special gift") and just gives up and offers it to his fellows.

In the meantime, he'll just share the general internal information about the guard postings, shifts, duties and stuff with us while we bide our time until the day comes.

>>966439
Noice

I feel like we should drug the girl too
What if she doesn't accept because she's too indoctrinated or something, if we drug her we can leave town as soon as we have her and let her come to terms with Alicia

>>966486
Drugging our daughter starts getting into skeevy business.

I really don't want us to be taking her away against her will, because frankly it is a pretty shitty life that we'd have in store for her. The main point in our favor is that she would have relative freedom, and perhaps in the distant future a cure too.

Ah, right.

See if it's possible to create some tranquilizer gas pots (and anything else we might think of) while we're biding the days away, in case bad comes to worse and we need to get out of town with the guard hot on our heels.

Is invisibility a mixture we can do? If so, that would be good too.

Rolled 68 (1d100)

>>966439
Hmmmm
Yeah, we shouldn't drug her
>>966293
Do we have to roll for this?
>>966518
I believe the invisibility potion is a thing
Rollin for it

>>966502
The important thing is you don't force her to turn wolven and follow you by instinct, being older and dominant over her. That is certainly worse than drugging.

Anyway, back now and to resume.

>>966584
Support roll for invisibility, I suppose.

Rolled 79 (1d100)

>>966659
Probably would help if I included the roll

So your plan is to let Grell do the work while you make potions for what you'll need, both for making drugs as well as for a possible escape if you need it.

Go ahead and just make two rolls, for the other parts.

As usual, he's going to want to reciprocate as well.

But fingers are cool too

Rolled 69 (1d100)

>>966884
Before he starts working the first day, waking up together you take the time to thank him in a more personal way and show him your handiwork skills. He's quite appreciative and shows you the same courtesy. You do keep things from going too far, but he is still interested in something, to saying he's willing to take his chances for something before you end up parting ways eventually.

>>966860
>54

You do pretty good and make him happy, though he still does better and outperforms you, leaving you in an exhausted mess as he heads off joyful to work. You're left in bed all sweaty and frustrated at his besting you again, and only have your alchemy work to take your mind off things.

>>966724
>73, 74

You're able to start work on the potions you think you'll need, including the drugs, sleeping gas bombs, and an invisibility potion. To make them properly and not risk anything, as well as make everything you have in mind for the preparations, it will take about a week.

You can try to rush though and finish them sooner but you'll run a risk of mishap. Your choice.

>>966956
Well dayum
If he wants to risk it then im down
The day before we part ways he can get dat human-wolf vagoo

>>966977
Nah let's not risk it, the last thing we need is a crit fail

>>966977
How's our money holding out?

If we have enough to last about 2 weeks worth with a bit of emergency funds leftover, let's just take it slow, if not, still take it slow but we can brew up simpler stuff to sell off for money.

>>966994
And Grell is taking some food with him to work for the prepwork, right?

>>966983
Anything specific you want to do or take care of then over the coming week? It is risky being around these parts of course, but at the same time you can only sit in a room for so long.

>>966994
You're quite good on money, you could stay here a month comfortably if you needed to.

And yes, Grell is taking food to work as per the eventual plan goal. You'd like to make the food yourself but it's less suspicious to just buy all the food used/eaten while here.

>>967001
Read our smutty books

>>967001
I suppose we can occupy ourselves further with our research and continuing to replenish our potion stores with simpler ones like health, insulation, nutrition pots and the like.

I guess we got too carried away with the books?
Our hands must be pretty soggy rn

>>967045
You make some little progress on the health and insulation potions, but the nutrition potion you do quite well on, and also understanding more work towards a cure. All in all generally good work that keeps you occupied through the days when not otherwise...

>>967047
>96

Well no wonder you only make average process on your work, most of your time is spent drooling over your smutty books. Maybe Grell got you a little more excited than you'd thought at first, or maybe it's pent up frustration and stress from all the terrible happenings before you finally decided to just collect your daughter.

Either way, you have ample reason not to leave your room, or even your bed much. Only basic life requirements like eating, and your work, can get you on your feet.

>>967116
We need to get some exercise in there too
We can't get fat, that ain't pretty

we also need to give a goodbye fuk to Grell after we get our daughter

>>967146
Actually because of your metabolism it's hard to get fat. Being fit does take exercise of course, but you have to eat a lot just to not starve, particularly the more you transform since it takes a ton of energy.

>>967160
Let's fast forward to the big day then

>>967116
Hopefully Grell has some information that can get us to focus.

>>967181
Hold your horses, we still want to at least hear what he has to say about the place so we can refine our plans if necessary.

>>967181
Well before then, after about five days when Grell gets off work, he returns to the room to tell you that was the first day of him traveling along with the minister, and he saw your daughter, accompanied her along with the rest from her house to the church and back. He's not too sure what to make of it but he thinks either he scared her with his presence, or there's something wrong with her.

What do you make of this? Be'est art thou overcame with any emotionnes?

>>967200
Might be that they're drugging her themselves. Inquire for details about her behavior to see if we can pick up any telltale signs of drugging.

Let's see about whipping up a simple and mild treatment for intoxication anyway, just in case it should turn out that way.

>>967200
>there's something wrong with her

Ask him why is he saying that? Did they do something too her? Wrong how?

And get sentimental, our poor girl is probably in a bad spot

>>967223
He can't say for sure, she just looks very frail and timid, and seems afraid of everything, or at least is very skittish/jumpy.

Of course from his limited experience, maybe that's normal for human children?

Naturally though his words are very taxing on you as you try not to panic, get emotional, or otherwise immediately storm out to go and get her this instant. Such that he has to physically restrain you and remind you of the plan.

>>967218
It seems likely that she may in some part be drugged, so you set about what you might need to help her with that predicament, if and when you meet.

Rolled 62, 80, 91, 60 = 293 (4d100)

>>967280
Right, just have to hold out for one more week, then we'll be able to speak to her again.

Let's continue making health, insulation, and nourishment pots, and continue with our research and try to ignore the mental visions of our little girl suffering various fates at the hands of the church

Rolled 69, 61, 95, 13 = 238 (4d100)

>>967319
We're getting pretty damn good at those nutrition potions.

>>967311
Ignore what the Anon said to ignore and think about that green D we'll be getting soon, those books left us thirsty

>>967311
The situation is obviously distressing for you, and very hard to deal with, the stress, the pain. You know it's not much longer though, as you try to buckle down and just focus on your work, and preparations for the plan.

As such you make great progress on everything you set your mind and efforts to, particularly on the matter of the nutrition slurry potions, which you've basically perfected within the context of any single meal.

Anything else you care to do during the week left?

>>967333
Grell is actually a grey orc, not green.
