CYOA Tales of Lona: 'Under the hood' thread

[The Fool]

So ya quick nick pick but was looking over the Stat page and shouldn't there be a +bonus to goblins mark do to her description saying she's a "incredible conversationalist among Goblins" like, 3 conversation, +4 to goblin types, or what ever bonus to rank her to equal conversationalist? Just asking.

Also I noticed WE DON'T HAVE ANY FOOD!!!

Bonus imput: Before leaving buy a weeks worth's of dried food and 2-3 days worth of drink. I'd go with some jerky if they have it in this world or baring that dried meats and cheese and a couple of loafs of bread. For drink maybe fill her flask with water or local juice and buy a bottle or two of wine, whisky, or alcoholic drink (never know when you might need to trade and alcohol nearly always is a good bartering item.)

Now don't all "oh we're in/near a town and get it if we need" cause last time I checked we're only playing for lodging and nothing else and what should happen if we take a job that takes more then a day away from town? Better safe then sorry IMO. That'll be what 5 to 7 gold for both right?

[The Fool]

Input: A goblin among humans, an unlikely hero and jack of all trades. Assassination, black widow, animal husbandry, research, mediation, spying and detective work with a sprinkle of hedonism.

True but a jack of all traits will be a master none. I say we go mainly for stealth and blunt force, and social skills. But what ever we choose will be what ever we choose, though I would love to see how she handles her main weapon that's a cool design for a war hammer/pick axe? (what she come from a mining clan?)

Also Sebaknight1 your probably right and that's what the man from the Warrior's Legion is for.

>Heikya manages to calm the excited enchanter down and thanks him gratuitously.
"Of course my friend, not a problem!"

-->Oh yes, the naga will want some written proof, perhaps a letter from both the wizard and the guard captain.

>"yes I figured that be a good idea. I've already written out a form and had the captain sign it."
"uhhhh..." Heikya sweats nervously.

--> uhhhhh....

>"anything else you need?"
Heikya sweats profusely and leaves slowly with the letter.

-->Give Ano a hug.

>"not right now, too confused."

-->Return to the Naga and explain his options

>Heikya heads back out to the to the naga's cave.
She retells the conversation that she had with the Wizard, explaining that he'd even be willing to give the snake boy a job.
"I could do with working with a wizard. I already know a couple little cantrips, I may be able to find myself a place in his tower."
Heikya relates to him the idea about becoming a guard for the town or establishments within Stansengate.
"The guard captain may be a little hesitant to hire me, but you're right: most people would not bother an establishment with one of my kind hanging out in front of it...
All of this is conjecture though... I'd be afraid of going near the gates without an agreement that I would not be assaulted."
Heikya pulls out the letter and shows it to him. The Naga opens it and reads for a few long moments; then suddenly without warning:

>Heikya has a moment where life flashes before her eyes while she is wrapped in what she thinks is a death coil.
It's was a hug. The naga puts the little goblin down. "I can't thank you enough little friend! My name is Etim the (apprentice) enchanter. I must think of a way to thank you at some point!"
Heikya manages to get out a shaky: "ya're w-w-welcome."
(favor from Etim added)

>What does she do?
-->Return to the Wizard
-->Approach the man from the Warriors' Legion
-->Agree to help the clerics
-->other (input action)

[Earthsage]

Return to the wizard, tell him of his new Apprentice Enchanter Naga, and ask him how he even made three copies of himself.

[coyoteredmoon]

just to address some stuff: I do have the 'other' option in there for a reason. As long as it doesnt conflict with the characters overarching personality, i have no qualms about other actions that I don't initially offer up.

[m3rchant]

Two thoughts:
First, exactly how intelligent will our slime creature be getting from our little experiment? I think it would be kind of awesome if Nicky were to become smart enough to create for him(her?) self a humanoid body and begin adventuring with heikya! (While keeping the bunny ears, of course!)
second, maybe it's time to cash in some favors at and do some level grinding with the guard captain? I think the reason we all seem to be avoiding the demon quest is because we're unsure if our goblin gal can take what she may find herself receiving in it, and I think that just might help.
Input:
->untie the mirror from our shield, as although it may be useful against visual paralysis abilities, in a physical fight, the extra weight would just be a hindrance.
->ask the guard captain if he wouldn't mind walking them both in through the gates, making sure that his men hold their fire long enough to understand that this naga is on there side. But most importantly...
->hug Etim back while your still in his embrace!

[The Fool]

Return to the wizard, tell him of his new Apprentice Enchanter Naga, and ask him how he even made three copies of himself.

Uummm Considering that wizard might be busy telling his new apprentice the ins and outs of his workshop probably best to leave them be till tomorrow.

Now for my input: Frayed nerves are never a good thing, TIME FOR SOME BOOZE!!! Seeing that both a goblin eating species and a overly enthusiastic wizard (starting to go into the unnerving zone ) will be in the same room for a while, going back right away might not be the best for her nerves right now. Time for a drink!

One option is to visit Tetra and have a drink at the Brewery and chat for a bit. I say it would be good to improve ties with the currently only other group of you kind even if their from a different tribe cause despite all the kindness of the mainly human town she'll still want to be in the company of other goblins. Might even pick up a few job requests to considering that the tribe probably has problems of their own. Then we get drunk.

Two is we head to the tavern and get some beer from there and go around getting info, drinking, joking, having a good time to calm down, maybe even participate in a drink contest . Then we get drunk.

Three is go around town asking for the best bar in town and we head over their to drink. We then pay our bill and leave for another option.....

Spoiler (click to show/hide):

NNNAAAA THEN WE GET DRUNK!!!!!!

So my main point here is to relax for a while because Heikya seemed a bit uncomfortable do to resent events and we are temporary block or stumped on the other jobs so lets drink and get drunk to pass the time!

[GreaseMyBACON]

return to the wizard, then swing back by the job board to make sure nothing has popped up.

I also agree with The Fool about food if that is going to be something you are taking into account. And buy alcohol, never know when getting something drunk will be the answer to a problem.

OH GOSH I WASN'T READY FOR THAT HEART WARMING SCENE OF FEELS!

ITS WAS JUST SO HANDSOME AND ADORABLE!

WAH!



*ahem* I-I suggest going to visit the Wizard now for our Royal Morph Transformation.

[Omnimek]

+1 Return to the Wizard>Booze!

I am curious about the intelligence as well, and I hope the little slime is a boy since I mentioned him as a he when he was brought up (and nothing having to do with something I was in... >_>) But I do approve keeping the ears because mostly adorableness, and it could be useful for hearing, and having a more humanoid body could lean to better manoeuvring.

But let him keep the pot. It's his present, and it was a nice gesture, and I really love those pictures.

+1 Return to the Wizard>Booze!

Eh, I rather get some booze after dealing with that madman. So forget the cafe latte, screw the raspberry iced tea. A Malibu & Coke for you, a G&T for me. Alcohol, your sound resolves like my life never will, when someone else is picking up the bill.

So yeah, forget me waxing lyrical there, input on that to get something to drink as well, be it at the tavern or at the brewery, and see if our naga friend wants to drink something as well.

[m3rchant]

But let him keep the pot. It's his present, and it was a nice gesture, and I really love those pictures.

Of coarse! After all, we know it does like to sleep in tight spaces and if it doesn't have it's pot, it's liable to find another or wind up sleeping in bed with Heikya! And since we know Heikya isn't turned on by the thought of slime sax and we'd prefer him NOT to find another pot to sleep in within the inn's kitchen. (I'd hate to wake up one morning to find that breakfast comes with an aftertaste of slime creature!)

input: I agree that it's time for Heikya to have some downtime, but a simple drink by herself isn't going to cut it! Invite Etim, the guard caption, and the friendly mage to the bar to throw a drinking party! And see if that barkeep will join in for a spell.

Not sure if sarcastic or not, I mean it is likely that Nicky could turn into a handsome or cute looking slime boy and maybe, if she's horny, she might sleep with him. Either way, just thinking of something nice, that's all.

most of the time slimes dont have a attached gender, inother words then can take and recive (wink, wink, nuge, nuge) and if it gets bigger and more human like then you might call it a herm but otherwise it will be a simple no-gender slime pet.

Input: take a rest from all the action for today and visit a bar or something similar, then the next day ask the guard captain to come with her to escort Etim into the city and get him settled in, THEN! visit the mage and ask him about the dublets and get our transformation (if one is settled for)

Sorry that came across as sarcastic, it wasn't supposed to. I was just referring to the fact that slimes seem to act like cats in this world, and the two places cats like to sleep the most are either in tight spaces or in bed with their owners. Since Heikya hasn't shown any interest in slimes, she might not like sharing a bed with one. Though I hadn't thought of how she might feel about a more human or dare I say goblin looking slime. Again, sorry for sounding like an arse.

Nah, it's not your fault. It's just hard to tell since this is text and all. But yeah, I do get that and sure she doesn't express any interest in the slime sexually, but that will depend on how things go in all of this. Plus considering how nutso the wizard is... yeah.

I was kinda thinking more along the lines of just mentality, but most slimes won't think of such. But hey, cute slimes are that, cute slimes.

indeed I agree with you, and sorry if I went abit technical on it all, its just how my mind work ^^; but IF she somehow gives birth to a slime then it might be a girl/boy slime ^^ (or both )

[Scottyboy]

->hug Etim back while your still in his embrace!

I agree, best to gain the affection of Etim and possible get him as a lover.

[lankhmar]

I say cash in a bit Tetra's favor and invite Etim to a party at the brewery! He makes friends, helps convince people he's harmless, Tetra gets a friend who's scary enough to help them out if they ever need it, and of course he might be a little bit tipsy so a good friend might help him back home and...who knows

---> Ask the wizard if there's 3 of him, why he needs to test on others
---> Ask wizard and Etin about demons, then help the clerics (if demon's aren't too scary!)

[flai53]

Bring Etim to the wizzard and ask bothe about demons maby Etim knows something about them and two heads are smarter then one.
afterwards do the demon quest.
