CYOA Tales of Lona: 'Under the hood' thread

[coyoteredmoon]

--> Find a shallow ceramic pot with a handle and stash it underground for later. Maybe she can use it as a slime shuttle later!

>Heikya finds the nearest manhole and re-surfaces; she quickly runs to the market street, looking for the nearest potter.
A couple of hours and 10 gold later, she returns to where the slimes seem to like congregating. She places it down along with her apple. Maybe if she needs a slime for some reason, she can come back. The apple is probably on it's last leg anyways, and it'll likely convince the slimes to hang out here. ( apple removed)

-->Return above ground and give the guard captain one crystal. Keep the other one for later, if possible, but give him the other one if he asks for it.

> she returns to the guard captain. She informs him that She 's found the crystal formation and removed it, so there shouldn't be need to worry about more slimes. The ones in the sewer are too small to be any harm on their own, so they shouldn't be a hassle.
She hands over the significantly larger crystal.

> The captain takes the crystal and lets out an impressed whistle. "Good thing you found this. A hunk of slime crystal this large, could have produces quite a few problems!" (1 slime crystal removed) He compliments your expedience in this job and hands over her pay, which Heikya finds to be significantly more than the posting had promised! (90 gold added, 'Slimes in the Sewers!' removed, +1 notoriety)

>After leaving the captain's office, Heikya notes that it is getting a bit late. She was down in the city's under works for longer than she thought.

>What does she do?
--> Rent a room at the inn and rest till morning.
--> Look for the large man from the Warriors Legion.
--> other (input action)

[coyoteredmoon]

So like a slide show. I was confused about what you meant XD

[VintageBass]

So I would guess that the slime in the pot will be a pet later on? Hopefully she has the bunny looking one...

Input: Rent a room at the inn and rest until morning.

[Earthsage]

Input: Find a room and rest, and then once you've got that done, find the local library (If there even is one!). See if you can find anything out about Slime Crystals in general, to see if the one you've kept is any use to you.

[moonblack]

Rent a room at the inn and rest till morning. The next day find the local library (If there is one) or some sort of wise person (like a sage) and see if you can find anything out about Slime Crystals in general, to see if the one you've kept is any use to you. After that check if there are any new job notices. If there are no new ones go and check out the job notice about the goblins.

[Tsai]

Input: Go check on the ceramic pot in the sewers

[Zeus Kabob]

Fun! I hope notoriety is good

Input: Helkya should keep an eye on the slime crystal she's keeping and make sure it isn't growing. If it looks like it might hatch, she should make sure it doesn't cause problems or hand it off to the guard captain.

[coyoteredmoon]

-->Find a room and rest, and then once you've got that done, find the local library

>Heikya goes back to her rented room, and sleeps till morning. In the morning she looks for the nearest library. With a little help from the librarian, she finds a book that gives detailed information about slimes.

>She finds out quite a bit about the creatures and their habits, but more specifically what makes the crystals so integral to slime habitats. The crystals are not a particular preference for slimes, but the slimes parents. When slimes get big enough, they congregate then compress and harden into crystals. When the crystals get wet, the residue congeals into new slimes.
Heikya keeps that in mind and checks to make sure her crystal is nice and dry. (Slime expertise +5)

>Heiya finds that slimes are similar to cats in that they like sitting in things.

--> check if there are any new job notices

> Nothing new here, except a vague notice about an octopus.

-->check out the job notice about the goblins

>Heikya heads to a different bar in town, where the client has been staying.
When she arrives, she finds that the Client is a rich looking man, choking down booze. When Heikya inquires, the man begins sobbing stating over and over that he's ruined.
She finds over the course of an hour, that the man was a brewer outside the city walls. He was doing quite well until a small tribe of goblins invaded and took over. (Job notice removed, 'Goblins and Tankards' added)

>What does she do?
--> Head out to the man's property
-->look for something else in town (input action)
--> Look for the large man from the Warriors Legion.
--> other (input action)

[coyoteredmoon]

Zeus: Small descriptions of most stats are handled in the very first post.
Also: if there are any questions from anyone, feel free to ask.

[VintageBass]

Commentary: I now dub the potted slime bunny to be Nick. That is so adorable, I love it! <3

Input: Head out to the man's property and check out what the goblins are up to.

[Tsai]

Very good work so far btw reading the descriptions can be a lotta fun the pictures on top are wonderful.

Input: Head out to the man's property, but try not to alert the goblins to her presence.

[Earthsage]

Head to the man's property, but be stealthy about it!

[Soru]

I really like this CYOA of yours. You give pictures with descriptions of the story. Also, that slime is the pot looks adorable.

Input: Head to the man's property, but try to sneak in. Because she's also a goblin she might be able to blend in and act like one of the other goblins by disguising herself in cloths similar to theirs.

[xeragoth]

go to the man property see if there are any lone guard and take hes or her clothes and then sneak inside

[moonblack]

Head out to the man's property and scout the place from a safe distance. Try not to be seen by the goblins

We'll decide what to do after we know how many goblins there are and what are they doing there

[venomouswings]

Input: Head out to the man's property and see what the goblins are up to.

[coyoteredmoon]

-->Head to the man's property, but be stealthy about it!

>Heikya makes her way to the property in question, and drops into her stealthiest stance the moment she begins hearing Goblins. She sneaks past the gates with no sight on her targets and manages to get to the front facade of the mansion before actually seeing the guards.

>By this point she can hear the rancor of the goblins within the house. Looking at the property, Heikya admits that if you were going to have a hostile take over of somewhere, this place wasn't a bad choice.

-->if there are any lone guard and take hes or her clothes and then sneak inside

>Heikya attempts to find some lone guards to knock out, but she begins to notice a worrying trend. All of the goblins that she's seeing are men.

>Heikya came from a fairly civilized tribe, and thanks the gods everyday for that; but she knows that there are other tribe archetypes. The one she appears to be dealing with here is one with a single woman, A matriarch/ queen based tribe. One lady for for 50 men, and she gets to choose what happens when. Tends to make the men antsy. She'll have to carefully evaluate the means in which she deals with this situation.
All of this aside, all of this sneaking allows Heikya to practice her silent movement. (+1sneak)

>What does she do?
--> Attempt to attack the tribe outright? (5% chance of success)
--> Attempt to attack the tribe sneakily? (25% chance of success)
--> Attempt to be Diplomatic (input action)
--> Return to town for now and do something else (input action)
--> other (input action)

[Earthsage]

I'm not liking the 25% odds here..

Input: See if there are any lone guards around, or listen in on a conversation to see if they need/want anything that'd calm them down.

[moonblack]

Keep her distance, observe the guards, count them to figure out how many are outside (and thus how many more might be inside), and use her short bow to kill any lone guards she sees.

If she gets spotted: Retreat and if the goblins chase her try to get only a few to follow her, then take those few out from a distance.

[Soru]

Input: Stay hidden and look around for an opening in their security and sneak through if possible.
