Dungeon Crawler Quest(Original Fantasy)

[Xicree]

[X] Anshelm: Hi-Potion, Oni Race Mod (had actually been thinking about this since the others mentioned Ogre Mod)
[X] Alice: 2 Amrita, Ogre's Rucksack, Bawws' Stick
[X] Seraphine: Ether, Amrita, Bawws' Hat,
[X] Shimah: Potion, Ether, Ogre's Belt
[X] Maya: Potion, Oni Club

I far prefer to distribute the loot like this. This way Maya gets something from it, since she's the one who can best make money from selling the Club and Shimah can actually USE the belt since she's a healer and healz pick up agro, and we give Shimah an extra Amrita to work with instead since we already are getting the bag and the Bawws stick. Seraphine will appreciate the hat for when she gets another slot for equipment since it reduces threat.

[X] Something else?
-[X] Get together with the rest for making Pamphlets for D-Rank Crystal Lake and other dungeons you've done.
-[X] Take Sera somewhere private and return her underwear... You're a little... hesitant to ask just why you woke up with it over your eyes last night... but curiosity compels you onward.

Action-wise, we need an AAR (After Action Report) especially after a SNAFU.

EDIT: Heh, and then it turns out to be Shimah's.

Shimah had the Ogre Belt before she was in our group.

Would be ok, but Sera asked for the belt and Maya asked for the hat, and I think Shimah already had the belt.

We should keep the club and pick up the hammer warrior crystal for Anshelm.

Noooo, shotatank needs shield bigger than he is. Because it is all kinds of hilarious.

The issue with this is Anshelm truly wants to 'protect' more than 'to hurt'. While i think he would be incredibly strong as a Hammer Warrior, i am not seeing him wanting to be one.

 

[Xicree]

Oni Anshelm!

 

[Arkeus]

Ok upon reflection this is my vote:

[X] Anshelm: Hi-Potion, Oni Race Mod (had actually been thinking about this since the others mentioned Ogre Mod)
[X] Alice: Ether, Amrita, Ogre's Rucksack, Bawws' Stick
[X] Seraphine: Ether, Amrita, Ogre's Belt
[X] Shimah: Potion, Amrita, Oni Club,
[X] Maya: Potion, Bawws' Hat,

-[X] Take Sera somewhere private and return her underwear... You're a little... hesitant to ask just why you woke up with it over your eyes last night... but curiosity compels you onward.

Basically Sera has the least there, but we gave her a new robe yesterday morning that came from a dungeon she didn't do, so that's fair. We should also ask Maya if she can evaluate the Oni Club, Bawws' Hat and Bawws' Stick values, so that we have a good understanding of the different tiers of items. My thoughts is that Oni Club might be very expensive, but it's possible Bawws' stick/Hat are equally as expensive.

 

[redaeth]

I expect, due to yrs comment that all 4 greens are more common to C and up loot. So yeah, Shimah should get a nice loot pile from that.

Jokes on you, it's actual Adel's



This was a warning against assumptions~

 

[redaeth]

Actually it might be Maya's since she likes teasing Al so putting it on her head might tweak her funny bone to put it on her head and leave her wondering.

 

[Darkened]

[X] Anshelm: Hi-Potion, Oni Race Mod
[X] Alice: Ether, Amrita, Bawws' Stick, Seraphine's Goblins' Spellpouch.
[X] Seraphine: Ether, Amrita, Ogre's Belt, Ogre's Rucksack
[X] Shimah: Potion, Amrita, Oni Club
[X] Maya: Potion, Bawws' Hat,

By giving the bigger pouch to Sera, we get a lot more utility. 12 slots to 14 slots for Alice is a relatively small gain, and certainly not as useful as going from Sera's current 6 to 8.


[X] Xicree's action.

 

[Arkeus]

Ooooh, i like that:

I thought we only had nine slots?

 

[Arkeus]

I thought we only had nine slots?

Click to shrink...

We have nine, the Ogre's Rucksack would give us 14 (which people want to get), and Sera's own pouch would get us 12. Darkened is saying that it's more important for Sera to have 8 instead of 6 than for us to have 14 instead of 12, so we can ask Sera for her pouch and give her the rucksack.

 

[redaeth]

Stealing that.

 

[Grosstoad]

Agreeing with Bag trade.

 

[yrsillar]

Hokay, locking da vote. Should have the update up in the morning. Winner is obvious.

+1 Ether, +1 Amrita

"Yeah, I don't really mind everyone taking what they want here. I'll get the Bawws Stick," you pause a moment, just saying that makes you feel kinda dumb. "Since Sera doesn't want it."

"I want to hold on to my current staff for a little longer, that's all," Sera responds, "It's been longer since you got a new one anyway."

"With the bag though… Sera, why don't you take the Rucksack, and give me your old Spellpouch. You need the extra slots more than I do."

"Sensible, I didn't think of that," Shimah comments.

Seraphine fidgets for a moment, then nods, "I um, if that's fine with you, I don't mind doing it," why are her cheeks pink again, you didn't even do anything.

Everyone takes their loot and you make the swap with Seraphine. You almost regret equipping the Bawws Stick. It's so heavy. It's pretty ugly too, the description wasn't kidding, it feels like you're carting around a sapling with a big tribal painted ogre skull jammed on the top.

You glance over to Anshelm, where he's cheerfully looking down at the faintly glowing green crystal of the race mod… ugh, Maya must be either oblivious or still too far into her mood to do anything about it!

"Hey Anshelm, you sure you want to use that one?" you say in your best casual voice, as your group sets off down the road. Maya is trailing behind looking lost in thought, some help would be nice!
"What, the race mod? Why wouldn't I? These stats are great for me." He asks, sounding confused.

"Yeah, but… I mean Ogres… do you really wanna look like an ogre?" You say waving your hand at the dungeon entrance shrinking in the distance behind you.

"This is the Oni one though," he points out, "You remember that super tall lady from the square on mission day? I'm pretty sure she was using this. So I won't be like…. Fat and stinky or anything. I'll probably just get tall and buff." He seems way to pleased at that prospect.

You have to idea how to respond to that without sounding weird, so your mouth just goes and runs on ahead anyway. "Yeah, but you look pretty good right now ya know, do you really want to change that?"

What. No. Mouth. Mouth why. Why this betrayal. Anshelm is looking at you like you've grown a second head, and Sera is pouting at you. Maya seems to finally come out of her funk, if only to frown at you a bit. Shimah walks on oblivious to the brewing storm. Lucky her.

"My Al, think of Sera's feelings a little more will you?" Maya speaks up, getting a little of her usual teasing tone back as she goes on, "But she is right, you look fine as you are. That is a really good mod though… I can't tell you not to use it."

Anshelm looks back and forth between the two of you and mutters something that sounds like 'women' under his breath before hustling on ahead a few steps, retreating from the field of awkward between, you, Maya and Sera. Uh… right, probably the best thing he could have done there.

The rest of the trip passes in fairly awkward silence, you make it back to the gates just as the sun is slipping below the horizon. Good thing you hurried, you thought you heard the sound of Shantak wings in the distance, and looking up at the walls, sure enough the soldiers and City Branded on Nightwatch are even now cranking back the ballistae that line the walls. Yeah, you don't want to be outside yet, maybe in a half dozen levels or so you can risk it.

"I won't be available tomorrow." Shimah is the first one who speaks up as you all pass the gates, "I have to take care of a little personal business. My apologies." She inclines her head slightly to all of you as you stopped to talk on the side of the street.

"Ah, is that so? That's too bad." Maya says, "We'll have to be more careful with what we decide to do tomorrow."

"Hope it goes well, whatever it is." Anshelm says absently, he's fiddling with his inventory… oh crap, no don't do it!

Anshelm is consumed by a flash of white light, and what emerges is…. remarkably similar. You think he might have gotten a few inches taller, but not by much, his hair turned white and as he unequips his helmet to look at his reflection in the storefront you stopped next too, you can see that he's sprouted a pair of short red horns from his forehead. He scowls at his reflection, and you see his lower canines have gotten longer too. "The hell is this! Why am I still so short?!"

You let out a breath you didn't know you were holding, and Maya starts laughing softly.

"Ah… as the others said, I hope your business goes well, Miss Shimah," Sera says, trying without success to keep the conversation polite.

"Yeah, me too," you say vaguely. You wonder why the Oni mod had so little effect, maybe they effect different body types differently… divine whim maybe? You should totally thank… one of them, maybe all of them if so.

"Don't worry so much Anshelm. You look plenty handsome as you are," Maya says consolingly.

"Dammit, I wanted to be taller," Anshelm grumbles, stomping his foot petulantly, it's oddly cute… until you notice that he just caused a paving stone to explode into powder…. Uh, how much stronger did he get?

Anshelm seems to have noticed too, and it's enough for him to become distracted from his height woes. "Ah… crap, did anyone else see that?"

"I believe we may wish to go to the tavern," Shimah points out, not looking at the cloud of dust now rising from pulverized stone.

So you all do, you spend some time together eating and drinking, and working on your pamphlet with everyone, getting insights from different people makes everything more detailed, and you can fill in part of Crystal lake D, Maya even parts with a few tidbits about the graveyard. Lots of enemies with paralysis and life steal. All sorts of fun. You also collect your cut from Adel, the extra money is helpful right now.

As the night winds down you take a brief trip up to your room… time to face the music. You spend a few minutes digging behind your bed for the… thing you found on your head this morning, you stuff it in the pocket of your robes and head back down, you take a moment to ask Sera to meet you upstairs… much to Maya's amusement and Sera's near combustion. She agrees hesitantly.
Which brings you to where you are, upstairs with a fidgety blushing Sera glancing around like she expects monsters to jump out.

"Um… Al, w-why did you?" she begins, "I mean, isn't it a little too soon?" she shakes her head, growing even redder, "That is, not that I don't like you or anything, but this is a little f…"

She's starting to babble so you cut her off before she can really get going, pulling your hand from your pocket and thrusting the handful of silky… stuff in her direction. "Here, I need to return these."
She stares at the contents of your hand for a moment, uncomprehending, you can see understanding dawning, or at least recognition of uh… what your holding, that's good right?

"Those aren't mine," she mumbles softly, staring transfixed, "Mine are red," she adds absently, and you strongly suspect she didn't mean to say that going by the way she starts to splutter.
"W-why do you have another woman's underwear?!" Her voice goes up an octave as her whole face goes red, "What did you and Shimah do after I went to bed yesterday!"

"I don't know," You respond frantically, waving your hands in front of you… you stop when sending the things flapping around in front of her eyes doesn't seem to improve the situation, 'I don't remember, I thought they were yours."

"I-I, I'm not some sort of easy woman! I wouldn't j-just throw my underwear at someone, even if it was you. I didn't think you thought so little of me… We haven't even been on a, um…" she shakes her head, seeming to lose her train of thought, "Nevermind," her shoulders slump a little, "They aren't mine, um… I think I want to go to bed now." She sounds tired and kinda mad. Crap. Crap. Crap.

"Sera, I didn't mean anything bad by it, I just uh..." You try to come up with a reason for why you thought they would be Sera's that doesn't sound like you think she'd be willing to just throw herself at you... Crap. "Sorry." You end up calling guiltily at her back

Sooo… alone in the hallway holding a strange pair of underwear… possibly Shimah's, maybe they belong to someone else entirely. You know… bed sounds pretty good; you can figure this out in the morning.

EDIT: Oh, also, the post was delightful in schadenfreude way, but the possibility of cracking some bridges brought me back from excessive grinning.
I am not quite sure where to go with Sera, and I believe Alice will think so as well. The other votes seems pushing to get them together, or at least get Sera thinking (might be wrongly) positively about Alice again.

Or at least, that is my opinion.

 

[yrsillar]

I gotta say writing a protagonist who has bad charisma is kinda fun. So many amusing, and not so amusing situations.

 

[UrsaTempest]

Alice denseness is approaching 1 Natsuru, though. Might be good idea to make her less dense?
