The rebels had won, they had taken everything from you, even your precious daughter , She who was blessed with the Ichor of the gods . You were too late to save your precious Seleno in time. Her crystallized soul was entrapped in a body besieged by rot and decay, You have done what you could throughout the last few days but you could not stop the inevitable especially as an usurped king unless...


"Do you wish to free me? A copy of a copy of your kingdom's nightmares?" said the last shard of Frenkesia, the mother of all that was unholy. Only your royal bloodline knew where she was trapped. Your entire body would shiver about her unsightly and mostly featureless face. An blasphemous adoll that should not exist in the first place...

"I seek your forbidden knowledge so I may forge a new body for my daughter. No tricks of mine can sustain her rotting body." you kneeled before her, desperation had bent your knees. You would do anything for Seleno.

"Fool me not, o young king. I know of your forefather's curse. I will be bound to your body, i will not taste true freedom unless you exchange something... dear to you for my services, what will it be, your 'highness' ?"

>My kingdom, ravage it at your will.
>My flesh, you can burrow into it once my daughter can breathe again. I will be your perfect host.
>Wealth beyond measure, with your knowledge, I can make an army of adoll to take over what is rightfully mine
>A steady supply of Ichor. The very blood of the gods courses freely in whatever adall we will fashion together
>No...I will bring ruin it all, you are evil incarnate. I can not set you free.

"Pale stars of the new gods above, Fetid Ichors of the old gods below, bear witness to the words of he who shall set me free. What a glorious fool we have!" Crackled the adoll in her shackles like a madwoman as the air tightened around you, this was wrong...this thing should not roam anywhere. The lives she would end, it would be on your hands "Say it, O noble king. SAY IT!!! "

"Darkest spawn of Frenkesia: I , Lonte Munchlenni the third, will call forth your putrid essence into my body. No royal shackle shall bind you as long as I live and breathe, only my promise to you and your promise to me shall shackle us together. An oath to this life and the next. I...I... release you forevermore!"


The shackles had heard your commanding words, like terribly meek rats, they would scurry away into the cracks of her gaol. The vile adoll would perish without a good host. Your own heart was the perfect burrow for her as she had crawled inside your throat as a liquid sludge. You tasted tar and death upon receiving this sly parasite. Your body tried and tried again to reject the abomination within it but alas, she had nestled deeply.

" This body shall suit me well, Oh yesss~" An ethereal parasite would crawl on your shoulder like an unwanted shade. The two of you were inseparable... you were already hating her filthy presence already

"You are merely a tool for me." You gave her a stern reminder.

"Oh hush you, Ignorant king. Let me inspect the heir of the Celestial throne." While you had full control over your body, She was more your inner voice urging you to unlock her shard casket behind you.

With a loud hiss, the casket was opened revealing an innocent life snuffed too soon, too early. The shard of the vile mother would defile Seleno by sliding her incorporeal fingers into her ears and nose. Such travesty was only tolerated because of her precious knowledge.

" Seven moons, Crownless king. I can keep her soul intact for seven moons, no more, no less."

"Fashion a new body for her, then. Stop wasting my precious time." You snarled.

" Once again, the King of naught shows his ignorance." sighed the blackened spectre " Any novice Ichorist can create a subpar vessel for your daughter. What then, hmmm? You will have a vicious , mindless beast for an heir. Her Anima must be in perfect balance with her new vessel. Do I make myself clear?"

"..." You couldn't argue with her, this was her craft afterall...the art of conversion, transmutation and creating something from nothing...a soulless being... an adoll.

"Where shall we start? I do presume you have set a quaint place for our little blasphemy? Adolls are finnicky little things, I do hope you put this into consideration, O wise king."

>Valchia fishing village
Somewhere at the edge of the world, no one will recongize you. Simple and honest folks making due with whatever the sea could provide to them. It would be impossible for the rebels to catch you here but the isolating nature of the village and lack of resources might be a tad concerning.

>Tichelina's Excess
The body of a dead goddess repurposed as a strategic mining town, a moderate sum of resources and plenty of opportunities to build up wealth....at the cost of possibly a notable medical bill because of the plethora of unique diseases (and mutations) exclusively found here. Some rebel presence might be expected here.

>Ordonte Crimson Valley
On one hand, you got a rich fertile land and too many hospitable (but poor) townsfolk to count, on the other hand, you got several battlefields riddled with corpses...some could be walking too.. You might turn a few heads here too. Rebels would mostly have a garrison in the area

>Nova Enodenza
The (pillaged) capital city, where abundances and shortages of anything and everything could be found at the same time. You will probably find posters of yourself plastered everywhere but you just know that most of the rare ingredients could be found here. A daring risk


And

What kind of king were you?


>A kindhearted... and gullible king
You spared no expenses for your people, the rebels had taken advantage of your noble ideals. You barely got anything worth of value on you ,however, you just know that kindness would be repaid with kindness. You have great faith in your people

>A pragmatic and fair king
You have made some good and some bad decisions throughout your reign. People are mostly neutral about you, your starting resources are decent enough. it is a coin flip really. Rebels went for it and they had won through subversive means.

>A cruel and ruthless king
Animals, thoughtless beasts. They world was yours to conqueror. It was only a matter of time... you cared little for your people and the feeling was mutual. You didn't mind though, the stashed riches you have would surely give you a better chance at saving Seleno.

>>6250179
>Nova Enodenza
>A pragmatic and fair king
Where do people expect things to be the least? In the most obvious places, of course. If we take some care to hide our identity, shave ourselves or something, they probably won't expect us to be skulking around. They'll probably think we're off somewhere else.

Also, Pragmatic seems most fitting from how he talks.

"I have bought a mostly ransacked Ichorist's house in Tichelina's excess. We can work there without too much interruption." Buying that place had almost costed you an arm and a leg but it was going to be worth it in the end.

"Tichelina? HA! Poisoned and tricked by yours truly. You humans are oh so proud of your precious soul and yet you carved up her divine body like a fresh kill! Your greedy kind deserves nothing but damnation..."


"..." You ignored the godkiller and focused on the obsidian dagger trembling ever so slightly in your hand. It was your only gateway in this realm between realms where the last of Frenkesia was trapped for eternity. A well timed slash could open a portal that should lead you three back to your humble house. There. Time to leave this accursed place.

Day I
Morntide

"Nice sty. I thought we were going to create adolls not breed some swine mired in their own filth."

"Pester me further at your own risk." It was a rare instance of you issuing an empty threat. Your blurted out response would only garner you long drawn laughs from her. Sadly enough, she was not in the wrong, the house you bought had malignant growths and pulsating pustules all over it since...well, the goddess' body was still very much 'alive', every inch of skin, flesh and bone were trying to reclaim what was once carved up from the main body.

"I can not teach you anything meaningful , O unkempt king. Even the tiniest of meat specks can ruin the ritual. Get to it!"

Before you would decide anything, you took a look at your current belongings to make sure than none was claimed by unwanted growths, you had the following on you:

-Royal Saber [1 handed Weapon]
-2000 Notr [Currency]
-Novice Ichorist bundle [Adoll-making ingredients]
-Canto Bea Whistle [Summon a crimson market 'merchant' ]
-Meatflaking set [to scrap off the sickening growths]
>Roll up your sleeve, start scrapping off and cleaning the malignant growth(s) [Morntide period consumed]
>Leave the house, Meatflaker are found at practically every corner, hire two able bodies to clean everything for you [ Two hundred Nortr, you currently have two thousand Notr, saves your Morntide period.]

Noontide

It was a long and arduous task that had swallowed a few hours of your life as well as a chunk of your pride. You felt lower than a servant on latrine duty especially with that vile shard mocking your disgusting chores. On the bright side, you had flaked off a peculiar chunk of meat that might be of use to you later on...

+ Budding Fleshore chunk [?]: Can be sold or...

"Much better, don't you think?" [/red[ the darkling was satisfied with your humiliating work "Now, let us create life from naught. Unwrap this bundle , let us see what we have in stock."

+ 1 Mud [?]
+ 1 Wood [?]
+ 1 Monster Meat [?]
+ 1 Ash [?]
+ 1 Despair Anima
+ 1 Delight Anima
+ 1 Disdain Anima
+ 1 Dread Anima
+ 1 Animal Blood Flask [?]
+ 1 Oil Flask [?]
+1 Dirty water flask [?]

"Is this enough?" You had no clue of neither the quality nor the potency of these ingredients.

"These will do...for now." She clearly didn't like what was inside that bundle, nevertheless, she continued teaching you the basics " As you know, Ichorists are petty sorcerers, blood puppeteers if you will. They can only fashion a body with a certain set of commands written in their 'Ichor'. We on the other hand shall create life without a soul. Someone like me... the process is mighty complicated, be mindful of my words, O simpleton king. I am not known for my patience."

Adolls

-Soulless husks with sentience based on the quality of the ingredients used, Ichorist skills and other specific factors.

-General formular is : Ingredient A+ Ingredient B+ Ichor + Anima + Selfsake (Optional)
-Ingredients: the main components of any adoll , can be anything as long as there was enough quantity for each Ingredient.
Ichor: The waters of life that binds the main components together, can never be solid in nature.
-Anima: The equivalent of a soul, it shapes the adoll based on what sort of Anima used. More than one Anima can be used but it is highly ill-advised for novice Ichorist.
-Selfsake: Optional personal items linked to a certain someone which may add a more complex layer to the adoll... or ruin the ritual all together.
-To fashion the perfect body for Seleno, her new vessel must house a soul touched by the gods with the right amount of Anima. this is your final goal.
-[?]: Quality of all ingredients ranging from E to SSS, resulting adoll would have the average of all ingredients used.



"Pale stars of the new gods above, Fetid Ichors of the old gods below, we defy the laws of yore. we shall give birth to the flawed, the dismayed, the rotten and the aberrant. We are the soulless gods, behold our defiance and weep for we are the future, we are the end!" the ritual had begun at earnest when her ethereal hand hovering over your shoulder would detach from its ghastly owner so it could turn the stone floor into several undulating masses waiting for you to feed them with any ingredients

>Create your very first affront to the gods
Ing. A+ Ing. B+ Ichor+ Anima+ Selfsake (optional)

Our end goal is having our daughter back, so I think we should get experience working with meat and flesh, and since there's plenty of Godflesh around here...

Our first one. Something like wood bones and ash for skin and oil for blood? Ash cant burn since its already been burned. Maybe it comes out as some kind of sad fire doll or something. Maybe it could pose as a statue or golem that isn't a freaky flesh monster. But at the very least we can experiment here with stuff we wouldn't use for the daughter's body.

Black lights were shimmering you blind as the ritual was nearing its end. You weren't just chucking some random chunks of wood into the void...whoever or whatever you created was sapping your strength causing you to collapse on the floor as if someone had ripped your soul out of your body, the world around you had become a melting blur. In the end, an uneven figure had emerged from a thick black smoke screen... your very first adoll

::::::::::::


+ Ichoring (The Quality of the ritual)

New Adoll Type : Marionette

Life sized dolls with articulating limbs, they mostly excel at standing perfectly still. Very versatile adolls, just don't make them stand anywhere close to any fire

Marionette A
Quality: E
Trait I: Crumbling (Will start to deteriorate after 3 days, requires daily Ing. to repair)

Obedience: 100/100 (locked because of trait)
Affection : 100/100

"F-father....I am.. alive. why? Why I exist? S-so cold.." The glorified stick figure had chipped her one of her wooden toes on her way to you with oily tears leaking from her orbs. Confused, dazed and afraid, she wanted any semblance of comfort from her old man who just stood there in shock from what he had created.

"Don't look at me. I only act as a catalyst for your wrongdoings. Clearly, you lack the skill to create anything half decent. This wreck has no use to us. Tear her limb from limb, we need some of those wasted resources back. She is a lost cause anyways..."

:::::::

Adolls

-Any living failure could be disposed off (as long as you have the means to do so) for a refund of the Ing. used.
-The more your creation lives, does chores, work..etc, the more refined her Ing. will be
-Depending on how adolls will die, they can yield Anima or entire new Ing.

Together. May as well go out and about. Hopefully time together and doing stuff will help figure out that last trait.

So no fire, stay out of the kitchen perhaps apart from cold meals. I guess she can't repair herself and we need the ritual, unless we can make an adoll that can help with that in the future.

Being made of wood and such she might be handy for the weird goddess flesh mines since she presumably can't grow any weird flesh mutations. Bundle her up enough as presumed protection of the skin, or just for fashion and a lady's decency.

"Come to me, Evengelyne." As an ailing father, you couldn't bring yourself to snuff out the life you have created, you had embraced her chilling exterior sharing your warmth with her.

"O-oh Father...I am so..happy!" squealed the misshapen adoll from your kind gesture. It was at this moment when you realized that none could hear or sense the heart parasite since she kept hurling obscenities at you, all of which were promptly ignored.

"Stick close to me, Evangelyne. No wandering off." You reminded your daughter before leaving the house.

"A waste of time, A waste of resources, O delusional king. Do one seek a proper relationship with one's coat or shoes? Impudent fool..."

"Yes, Father! I-i shall never leave your side." Adolls were a stable of many towns as the providers of many...services aside from cheap labour so none should comment on her lack of attire. Despite of having a featureless body, It felt inappropriate to wander around like so. You might want to clothe your adolls in the near future/

"Oy, You are our the new Ichorist , yeah?" A clueless rebel guard was about to knock on your door the moment you had stepped outside with the girl.

"Yes, Alfonz Govollo in the flesh." You kept your composure and calm with a quick pun.

"Oh hoho!" Your pun was well received it seemed "My forefathers had erected a temple for Lady Tichelina. Look at us now, trampling over her remains, pillaging her holy body. Pardon my drivel, ser. May I see your papers? Plenty of Ichorists tend to operate without a license."

"But of course," You reached out for your forged papers in your coat's left pocket. You gave it to him without hesitation.

"Let us see..." The bald guard had squinted his eyes to read the finer details of the document "Everything seems to be in order, name's Lorenzo Eans. Got plenty of mouths to feed, my good Ichorist."

"A shame, that." It was his way of saying that he could accept bribes , a guard like him might have plenty of uses later on "I best be off."

"Yes, yes...keep an eye on loyalist dogs , ser. They are still amongst us."

With the Marionette's oversized hand glued to yours, you were free to explore the town or rather a small portion of it because of the Sigil system issued by your great grandfather that had separated the town into four districts which were:

-Iva district: or the 'waist' district as labelled by the commonfolk, all the basic necessities could be found here. This was where you live. it was considered to be the poorest part of town.. until someone could unearth the fabled Wombore in the darkest reaches of the district.
- Kva district: The 'belly' district for the middle class, poor mining output but it has more refined outlets.
-Pva district: The 'bosom' district....insanely rich because of its Pale Ichor veins, a district of pleasure and hedonism.
-Cva district: The 'head district' where all the elites would gather, everything administrative was found here with few mining operations.

In short, you must cough up a hefty sum to have unrestricted access to the next district. Kva would cost you ten thousand Notr .. It was doable.

Your nightly stroll with Evangelyne had introduced you of some but not all available shops in these squalid, flesh ridden streets. They were


- Barracks: The patrolling guards could always use some help to deal with the Enfleshed
-The Blacksmith: An old man keeps hammering his anvil day and night
-The Butcher: A lot of mystery meat...is it edible?
-The Tailor: An old hag hiding behind rags and curtains
-The Antiquarian: A hoarder pretending to be a merchant, would she part with her expensive wares?
-The Purifier: A woman of medicine , with a heavy burden on her shoulders
-The Fleshtender: A man and his garden of miracles that should not exist.
-Meatflakers Pub: A place of respite for the unsung heroes of the district
-The Pit: This is where a miner's journey would begin...and probably end
-The Other Pit: The violent, the cocky and the desperate fighting for Notr.


>Choose up to two places to explore throughout the night

>>6250906
>The Antiquarian
I feel getting to know this person may be very useful in the future seeing as this is a fantastical world so things such as magical trinkets may exist, and would make amazing material for adolls.

I'm tempted by a few others like the purifier, always good to know a doctor, and the Pub, meeting adventurers for the same reason as the antiquarian, but I think I'll go with the
>Fleshtender
Since meeting a man of experience in this art, or an art similar to our own, can only be beneficial to our knowledge

>>6250906
-The Tailor: An old hag hiding behind rags and curtains
-The Purifier: A woman of medicine , with a heavy burden on her shoulders

If I had to guess where we might be able to let Evangelyne help out for some material, Notr, or favors it'd be these two. Maybe the Antiquarian. Or Pub if she had some kind of musical talent, perhaps a string instrument for the marionette lol. I do want to check out the Pit, but perhaps not at night.

"So pretty..." While Evangelyne was curious about everything around her, she was drawn the most to the colourful set of fabrics amidst the red and white shades of her fleshy environ "Father, I want to shine like gold!"

"We do not touch what is not ours, these are for sale." You reminded her without stomping on her dreams too hard.

"Y-yes, Father." The Marionette had swallowed her excitement as you had entered the shop proper where you found a pair of white eyes surrounded by a thousand wrinkle, both of which were mostly hidden by rainbows made from flashy and colourful cloths.

"Yeah? What you want?" This voice had belonged to a donkey choking on an inflated frog not an old hag. You couldn't feel a bit ...exposed in this very cramped space.

"Gran , my name is Alfonz Govollo. This is my adoll, Evangelyne." You introduced yourself quickly " I am the new Ichorist in town, I wish to-"

"Talk too much, silence." Without warning, several hands would slither out of the unassuming piles of cloth. Your adoll had frozen solid while Gran was taking her measures "Bah! Useless coat hanger, Can make dress , you pay then shoo! reeks of oil, oil stains work."

"Feh, someone with actual common sense...too bad she is mutated beyond salvation "

This exchange of words had left the uneven marionette holding her oily tears lest she might get her father in trouble by accident. You didn't like this.

After concluding your business at the Tailor, you were curious to know more about the Fleshtender. He was a lone man in a filthy robe who was content with staring at the hustle and bustle of the district from the comfort of his chair. Behind him was a pulsating mass that was ready to pop at any given second.

"Beautiful, Isn't she?" the old hermit stood up to rub said mass gently "She changes the nature of any slab of meat to something else entirely."

"Any type of meat?"

"Yes! She is amazing. Do you want to toss anything in there? First time is for free."

Gran would snip here, sew there for several minutes straight until Evangelyne had donned a beautiful checkered dress that had hidden most of her unpleasant flaws. As expected, the wooden child was overjoyed from this rather expensive outfit.

"What a waste..." Snarled the ghastly woman bound to you. The Marionette's happiness was all the reward you needed. As for the Fleshtender, the pulsating mass had ejected actual human meat for your troubles... not strictly an illegal item but you didn't really want to be caught with it on you.

Finally, the first day of your new life as an Ichorist was coming to a close. The three of you had retired in your mostly empty house. A carpenter could flourish it up for you, a thought for another day.

"Good morning, Father. Did you sleep well?" Your adoll was probably standing outside of your room all night "Poor sister, I wish I can somehow awaken her from her slumber."

"Don't worry about her, she will be...fine." You nodded. It was foolish of you to leave the casket so accessible in an unlocked room. Securing your house might be something to consider later on. At least Evangelyne was as pure as snow. No a hint of ill intention could be found within her.

"I can be of use to you, Father. Send me wherever you want and I will work for you. I will be a good girl, I promise."

"Don't listen to your 'daughter.' . With those flimsy arms and bulky fingers, she will do more harm than good." the darkling had interrupted your conversation "O most unwise king, you must seek wealth, resources and more tools for your goal . Seven Moons. No more, No less. I can extract Anima from the recently slaughter ...just a passing thought."

It was warning with good intentions, you lacked ... a lot of essentials that you must acquire one way or another.

I’m against doing it again. Our daughter has been dead for days, that’s too soon for another one to take our heart.

You had started your day by checking your belonging which were:


-Royal Saber [1 handed Weapon]
-1500 Notr [Currency]
-Canto Bea Whistle [Summon a crimson market 'merchant' ]
-Meatflaking set [to scrap off the sickening growths]

Ingredients:
- 1 Mud [?]
- 1 Human Meat [B]
- 1 Budding Fleshore chunk [?]
- 1 Delight Anima
- 1 Disdain Anima
- 1 Dread Anima
- 1 Animal Blood Flask [?]
- 1 Dirty water flask [?]


A stroll through the narrow streets of the Iva districted had revealed a few points of intrest such as:

-The lake of rot: Plenty of 'fish' in this open wound
-The Trapper: More pelt and animal parts than man at the point
-The Allcrafters: Builder, artisan, carpenter... the lovely couple could do everything.
-The district's board: For ongoing events and other bits of important news.

You have explored the majority of your district for certain, you didn't think you had missed any outlet.

A miner had stopped you for an urgent matter, he wanted you a create an adoll for him that was Pretty good at mining and could resist getting enfleshed . He had found a rare flesh vein that would heal up in a matter of days. It would be too dangerous to mine there alone. He agreed to split whatever that was inside the hidden flesh pocket since he lacked any Notr to his name, what should you do?

>Accept his request, you would figure out... something [five days until the vein would close]
>Accept as long as you take a large cut
>Demand Notr up front before anything
>Ignore the underfed miner, not worth your time.
>Consider A different approach?

::::::::::::::::


+ 5000 Notr?

"Father! Father! Look what I have found! Did I do good?" Your adoll was struggling with her hefty haul "I found it in a tree log with mushrooms too, ours! ours!"


"An Eastsari book, eh? Colour me interested. The Sandborne knew how to steal the shadows of others. They call it 'Duuol'... a potent resource for us. I guess 'twas was someone's stash, O landless king. Proud of your failure of an adoll yet?" Your feminine shade had a wicked grin drawn on her face from ear to ear.


"F-father? Did I do something wrong?" Your concerned look had cause the fragile little thing to tremble, what should you do?

>Return the Notr and the spellbook back where they had belonged [C.t.p for noontide, you? Evangelyne or you both?]

+New task: Create an adoll with [Molerat] and any enfleshed resistant trait within five days.
+New action: Study the Shades of Al-Zaheef Spellbook
+New action: Analyze ingredients

The miner was overjoyed with your decision, obviously, the simple minded man knew little about adolling but he was willing to share some information with you: there is an adoll supplier in the Pit who had regular minerals in his stock, some might be essential for creating the perfect adoll miner, there was a catch though... the supplier would only deal with other miners as per the set of his installed commands . The miner couldn't deal with the supplier out of fear that others might connect the dots and find out more about the secret vein, a new miner shouldn't make them too suspicious though.

As for Evangelyne's findings, you had decided to keep them for yourself. The book looked quite ominous because of its slightly undulating cover and the set of yellow slit eyes occasionally blinking at random intervals. It should serve you well.

Noontide

"Another sister for me? Oh Father, We will forever cherish your kindness." You remained silent just so you wouldn't shatter her expectations. Should she even watch you performing the ritual? You might want to send her to run some errand...or make some Notr for you.

"Running low on Ingredients? There is no shame in improvising with the right about of material... just don't expect a stellar adoll from your shoddy work."

Btw the miner homunculus needs "molerat", I doubt that formula would be useful.

>>6251962
>Mud + Fleshore + Animal blood + Dread Anima

If we go with a hopeful theories that the fleshore is made from the mine perhaps it will make her resistant to getting enfleshed. The Mud could also help there with its not being flesh, and maybe some kind of earth affinity approaching mining. If the animal blood was in fact from some kind of digging creature lol.

Dread anima, is it that the person was experiencing dread or were they someone that made other people afraid of their strength.

I wonder if she might end up killing this miner in the secret mining spot which will seal in 5 days anyways. He'd be sneaky not to announce his new partner, and so no one followed them to the site. Could be the perfect crime.

Your second ritual was no different from your first attempt to create life.... a massive blunder from someone who clearly didn't know how to fully harness the power writhing within his flesh. Your general inexperience would further exacerbate the pain crawling out of your throat and manifesting in the form of a blood curdling scream as if someone had carved open your chest to claim your precious soul. The end result of your suffering was at least half decent when compared to your first adoll...

"Man make mud. Mud no like man. Man soft and not mud. Mud follow man till bigger man make mud happy." Your newest adoll was struggling to form simple sentences, at least her bulky frame was more or less acceptable. You were more concerned about her fleshy interior that was seemingly 'alive'. it was trying its best to escape its muddy confines through the nose or the mouth but she would simply sniff it back in nonchalantly.

"A drooling fool. Wonderful. I doubt you can kill this thing. O witless king. You should invest in an execution's chamber to deal with failures who are too strong for your blade. " Once again, the mocking shade kept demanding too many things at once.

"Mud? I like your name! Strong and sturdy!" the marionette who had just came back emptyhanded from the wilderness was trying to strike a conversation with that thing, she might have a better chance with a literal rock than someone like her.

Medusa, Mudusa. Can still be 'Mud' for short. Which funnily enough was a symbol for warding off evil, and Mud here wards off magic. Maybe a story of being able to turn men to stone is also appealing to her.

Seems thats the agenda. Are we checking it to see if we can tell more about our materials now that we are more skilled?

"Pedrita, protect your...older sister from any harm in the wilderness." By all accounts, it should have been the other way around. It felt weird registering the smaller and more flawed adoll as the older one.

"Peed...Peedree...Pedrita protect tiny wood." The slab of mud wasn't thrilled with your order, you had this sinking feeling that she might smash you to a pulp if you were not careful.

"Why not put your 'daughter' to better use? Wealth is key to your blasphemous endeavours."

"I do not wish to suffer your *advice*, silence." Your mind ought to be as clear as the starless skies in order to glimpse into the mystical world of Eastsari magic. In this long and winded session, you were introduced to the world of shadows as described by Al-Zaheef. In short, all shadows were the darker reflection of the soul, they were wicked and silent Otherides which often had no power or authority over their owner. However, if they were separated from their other half, they would form some kind of a dark residue called Duuol. This ethereal mass could be fashioned in many things depending on one's mastery over it... or it could be used for something far more cunning than its original purpose. A shadeless person would lose part of themselves which might alter their personality and much more. What you have read tonight was but a meaty chunk of the spellbook, you were eager to learn more about Sandborne magic in the very near future.

"Lucky you~" Your adolls hadn't returned back from the wilderness until it was past midnight. The reason for their late arrival was a hunch from Evangelyne which would eventually lead your adolls to a cave where a glittery stone was shining in a lonely corner. If rubbed thrice, the Pale stars of the new gods should bestow a boon of sorts... or a curse depending on one's previous deeds in life. It could also be used as an ingredient. What should you do?

Should you treat them lower than dirt and/or ignore their few wants and needs, they might run away from your blasphemous workshop.

Day III

Morntide-Noontide

"F-father..." Your peaceful dream was interrupted by the chilly touch of Evangeyle who was clutching to her left arm dearly "I-i am falling apart...Father..."

"Your end is nigh, runt. Your sole purpose was to hone the skills of our softhearted King. Be a good adoll and perish, he needs your refined materials." snarled the evil within.

"O-our time was short...I..I wished I was more helpful to you, Father. Please forgive my failures. I... I will always love you, Father." The Marionette in a dress tried to kneel in front of your bed but one of her articulated knees would buckle inwards leaving her on the wooden floor instead.

What should you do with her?

Make Pedrita kill her as fast as possible. Like squashing her head really fast while she's laying in some hard surface with her eyes closed

I did not understand that we were voting for a specific boon & curse from those options.

>REFUSE TO GIVE UP/TRY TO REPAIR HER

If it was Mudusa I would be less inclined to keep her around. Not only am I already sentimental though, but she also brings us kool random items, which is her third trait right? Not to mention the fact that we didn't use any high-tier materials to make her so the RoI will be low.

>>6254286
>refuse to give up on her just yet , start repairing her to the best of your capabilities [2x C.T.P because of curse]
Evangelyne is my favorite and she brings cool stuff.

Holy moly this curse sucks, if working on adolls and talking with someone takes double thats almost like cutting our 7 months in half. This curse is fucked. Theres gotta be a way to work on this. If I understood the nature of this curse maybe we can use it. Is it literally slowing down his time or something lol. Is it still magic, because then I would have an idea.

>consider different approach?
So the curse effects us, and the Adolls are invested with life that comes from us, could we transfer the curse to one of our adolls? If the curse is magic, transfer it to Mudusa and then her Palebound immunity to magic might let her shake it off.

Or if it was some weird time slowing down curse, maybe it might be interesting to transfer that to Evangelyne if she would break down more slowly.

Check with Frenkesia, or maybe with that weird magic book put the curse on his shadow lol.

Also do we need to send Pedrita to the Miner for them to start and how will that go?

With a heavy heart, you went for your royal saber by your bed. It felt...heavier than usual. Should you really strike down someone that worshipped and adored you? Your sword arm was shaken much like your resolve until you thought of Seleno. You would do anything for your daughter no matter the cost. After tightening your grip around your sword, you went for the kill. It was a clean slice that had left the Marionette headless, you chopped up the rest of her flawed body in the following minutes, her more refined remains should serve you well.

"Some common sense in under this roof, finally. How does it feel, hmm? This is the fate for very adoll you create, only means to an end. "

"..." You could not argue with the she-demon inside of you. She was in the right as much as you hated to admit it.

"Good day to you, ser." Your whistle was heard beyond this realm of dead and sleeping gods. It was heard by a dapper gentleman who wasted no time to heed your call. His elegance didn't hide the fact that the othertide was wearing the skin of several women in an attempt to hide the writhing mass of slimy tentacles beneath his obvious facade "Canto Bea, at your service."

You hesitated to shake his hands but alas you did so for the sake of not offending the disgusting entity masquerading as a human "What kind of services do you offer?"

"Renovations, mostly. Small little additions here and there. Your home will be a small kingdom when I am done with it, ser. As per traditions of yore, you may choose the first one for free. Beware, ser... Canto Bea expects this whistle to be blown in the near future. Those who attempted to trick Canto Bea had become one with Canto Bea."

A softly spoken reminder or a not-so-subtle threat? Only time would tell... assuming you did take his free offer. If you were to choose something, you better choose wisely for you fear that his future services would be mighty expensive [/b[

+Timeless Chamber (adds one extra moon before Seleno's soul is lost forevermore)

The othertide would shed its false skin before your eyes as it had reshaped a small portion of your mostly vacant house. There was something unsettling about this newly refurbished chamber: it had no air, no sound...nothing as if it was a portal to the endless cosmic void above.

"Satisfied, ser?" Canto Bea had slithered back to his feminine skin "Your little one is safe... for now. Next time you use my whistle. Your pockets better be twice as heavy..."

Just like that, the othertide was gone, if your calculations were correct, you should have about thirteen thousand Notr by the time you would summon him again. Not good.

It was a hassle to find a secluded spot for you to meet the miner. The man was rightfully skeptical of your dullard of an adoll, her bulky frame was not made for digging but you had reassured him of her incredible strength. She could be more of a bodyguard rather than a digger but still, this was better than nothing. You heard the miner cursing under his breath from your inadequate creation and yet he would accept her aid. Should you keep her with him until he could reach his goal?

>No, Pedrita should return by noontide/eventide (what should she do?)
>Yes, you could use a break from her ugly mug.


The wilderness around the divine excess was a maze of trees, intertwined dirt roads and cliffs. You couldn't walk a straight line for more than five steps. No wonder your first adoll would spend a lot of time here, the enfleshed infestation did reach a couple of spots in the area merging beasts with the living flesh of the dead goddess creating horrors beyond one's comprehension. You didn't wish to lug heavy materials either that might slow you down making this a fruitless outing until...

"There, O sightless king, behind the bushes." a trail of fresh blood leading to ditch hidden by foliage. What was this? A fresh corpse?

Cont. (don't vote until I am finished please.)

>>6256624

>>6256231

A blonde woman with an arrow lodged in her throat. She was stripped naked with her still-warm blood painting most of her bare body in dark red. No signs of struggle or defilement for that matter. Her glassy eyes did look familiar...yes, she was a guard in the waist district, you often saw her trying to flirt with a young man by the market stalls whose heart had belonged to a young meatflaker. The prior events leading to her death was still a mystery to you.

" On her left, do you see it?" Frenkesia's shadow had pointed at a crumpled note by her side. Reading it would reveal the presence of a budding loyalist camp deeper into the wilderness by a strange rock formation called the 'Sky Hook'. They intended to assassinate several key rebel figures inside the excess. Wykvr Vdin, a vile Northsari mercenary whose execution order was personally signed by you two days before the coup was spearheading the preemptive strike on the camp as of right now. None should survive his mighty hammer, you knew it.

"I should aid my men and women." It wasn't just your kingly duties. You desperately needed any sort of aid for your daughter's sake.

" Have you lost your marbles?? You will be surely killed! You are not a one man army unless.... you surrender your flesh to me . You will bathe in the blood of your enemies at the cost of all of your strength .It will take a while to rec-"

"How many days?" You were running out of patience.

"Three days, one if I channel my essence into your saber. Ignore them, they are not worth your time."

What should you do with the corpse?

>Leave it as it is. She is not your problem
>Harvest human meat
>Give her a proper burial, honour the dead regardless of one's ideals.

What should try to save whoever was left of your loyal soldiers?

>No, not worth the hassle [What to do in eventide?]
>Yes, do not abandon those who were still loyal to you. Go to the Sky hook
>Defile your saber with her putrid essence
>Fully surrender yourself to the phantasm within.

>>6258161

>No, Pedrita should return by noontide/eventide (what should she do?)
Go to the Sky Hook with you.
>Give her a proper burial, honour the dead regardless of one's ideals.
>Yes, do not abandon those who were still loyal to you. Go to the Sky hook

>>6258161
>No, Pedrita should return by noontide/eventide (what should she do?)
Yeah I guess if we are going somewhere dangerous she would be handy
>Give her a proper burial, honour the dead regardless of one's ideals.
>Yes, do not abandon those who were still loyal to you. Go to the Sky hook

Maybe if we can show off how strong and combat capable we are she will like us again

>>6258161
>Yes, you could use a break from her ugly mug.

>>6258375
thing is, Our adoll is already with the miner by the time we discovered the body. so I don't know how to process your votes to be honest because >>6258375 is the only viable one right now. I only have multiple prompt to keep up the pace of the quest so lets not super meta it.

again to clarify, the first prompt was asking you whether she would stay with the miner for several days straight until he could try to unearth something special or she would only work for today's following time periods.
>>6258166
>>6258269
>>6258375
Going with best of both worlds for the two different votes , i guess.

>>6258795
>>6258790
Hmmm well that makes sense shes already with the miner and I dont think we would delay when it seems likely this conflict is fairly urgent. Do as you think best Sjyr.

"Hmph, what a waste of time." Of course someone as vile as her would scoff at your decision. The woman was buried in a shallow grave before heading for the Sky's hook. On your way there, you had avoided any enfleshed infestion land to the best of your capabilities until you had reached your gravity-defying destination where you saw it....

A massacre

Dozens of loyalists dead in what seemed to be a one-sided ambush in this ruined camp. Most of them had their heads pulverized by a mace or a great hammer...such was the way of the savages of the north. The Northsari valued brute strength above all in their frigid wasteland making them excellent bloodthirsty mercenaries for hire. Not all hope was lost though, you could still hear a clash of swords in the distance...desperate men and women struggling fighting to their last?


"Aaakung taag ish vereel, woman. I shall breed with you corpse! Vefg daaer sumaii, hahaha!!" There he was, Wykvr Vdin was surrounded by lifeless husks of women he had carefully hacked with his less-disfiguring axe, his bloody great hammer was probably reserved for your men. Much like all Northsari, Wykvr was thrice as tall as you. The towering figure before you was currently enjoying the desperate fight between the last survivor of the massacre and his men. A redhead she was who had refused to yield, she drenched in the blood of her enemies as disemboweled yet another guard . The giant of a man was merely toying with her since she was clearly outmatched, what could one woman do against thirty men and the man-beast leading them?

"Have you seen the err of your ways, O miserable king? You are but one man, one sad and desperate man without me. She will be plowed till naught is left but paste for the hounds to scavenge. Helpless little thing, you are." It was hopeless, to charge forth with your saber was nothing short of madness. The only thing you had on you was the element of surprise which wasn't much considering the fact they had the numerical advantage. What should you do?

>Abandon the last of the loyalist to her fate. (what to do in eventide?)
>Boldly announce your presence to Wykvr and his underlings (what to say?)
>Charge forth regardless of the consequences.
>Wait until the Northsari and their men are done, loot what you can when they are gone
>Allow your saber to be corrupted by unseen filth
> Surrender your to bloodthirsty spectre.
>Consider a different approach?

>>6258855
Hmmm its a bit early but I don't suppose we have enough skill to try to make a battlefield Adoll with the materials here? Then we've got the power for its obedience even if it turns out to be rather horrific.

If not I'll consider the options

>>6258881
the ritual does take an entire morning and it leaves us drained, even if we made one, it will be flimsy as hell from with our current underwhelming skills as an ichorist.

>>6258855
>>6258889
Gotcha, about what I expected.
> Surrender your to bloodthirsty spectre.

Save the redhead champion. Hopefully whatever this corrupted blade becomes can kill the giant Northsari in a surprise attack.

"I get to taste mortal blood again, finally, FINALLY!! " Your saber had become darker than the abyss itself as your vile shadow would partially inhabit a new vessel of steel instead of flesh. Your blade was lighter than air and more powerful than anything you had armed yourself with. The only limitation here was of course your fragile human body. Your initial plan was to strike the Northsari first followed by his men but everything had changed once your loyalist's shield was shattered after too many hits, she was the priority here.

A single slash of your accursed saber would cleave through five men at once followed by another four as you had skewered the man who was about to kill her. For a fraction of a second, your eyes had met each other. she knew who you were. The usurped king to rescue? For her, it was something out of ancient tales of chivalry and noble deeds.

"What is that thing???!"

"He is no ordinary loyalist!"

"We are no match for him, REREAT!!!" As expected, the rest of the guards would leg it after witnessing the grim fate of their comrades, they were used to deal with petty thieves and the average scoundrel not someone with a possessed blade capable of going through them like a hot knife through butter. You had to physically restrain your saber which was yearning for their fleeting blood. In the mean time, you had briefly checked on the injured woman behind you.

"Are you alright? Can you stand up?"

"M-my lord.." Tears of joy would mingle with the layers of dried and flesh blood on her face "I am not worthy to be saved by...mnrghh.."

Despite of her myriad of injuries, the woman caked in blood and mud stood by your side. She was ready to fight the giant of a man with you.
Wykvr.

"Truusn Saxa! If it is

>>6259296
"Truusn Saxa! If it isn't the crownless king! I crush and smash in your name and this is how you reward me? My head on a pike?"

"Your death warrant was for what you have to done to literal women and children you savage beast! Useful or not, I shall have no unwashed barbarians rampaging through my land!" You regretted your over reliance on mercenaries to deal with rather violent seeds of discord in your kingdom. Of course the rebels would buy out their loyalties with enough Notr turning them against you.

"Wykvr the Kingslayer, I like the sound of that. Kan trun Vakshe!" The brute had assumed an aggressive stance with his great hammer at the ready. It had some small chunks of brain matter falling off this monstrous weapon.


>Fight the giant with your loyalist
>Flee with the red haired woman, a man of his size could never catch up with you
>Say something to Wykvr (what will it be?)
>Consider a different approach?

>>6259304
>>Fight the giant with your loyalist
En garde

>Consider a different approach?
Try the blade on the environment to trip Wykvr up

Could a slash really disrupt the ground beneath its feet, a deep crevice that will suck up its foot or atleast trip him for a killing blow.

Can it cut through a tree, though that might not be enough for this giant.

If this blade is some Devil Mary Cry Cuhrazy weapon might as well see what it can really do.

>>6259304
>Fight the giant with your loyalist
>Consider a different approach?
We can probably just cut through his weapon. Keep our distance, slash through the hammer head and rush him while he is confused.

>>6259304
>Consider a different approach?
Fight by yourself like a true Chad. Tell the giant he's a cuck and a faggot.

You charged forth like the savage before you, your first slash had left its mark on the soil instead of his left leg, the Northsari thrice as tall as any man knew it would be the end of him if your possessed blade would clash against his great hammer, this goliath would instead rely on his incredible reach or rather your lack of one; even with you arm extended; you could barely reach his crotch.... a target more favourable by the woman to your right.

"I WILL END YOU!!!!" the redhead's bellow was louder than a thousand man during her reckless assault, your mind was equally divided between defending her and killing him. She was a reliability with her nearly spent endurance and the plethora of injuries slowing her sword arm down.


" LET ME TASTE HIS ROTTEN BLOOD YOU INCOMPENTET BUFFOON!!! " The voice inside your head was making it harder for you to focus. Neither of you nor her could circle around him, things were getting rather desperate, you knew you had to breach his area of denial before he would turn you and her into human paste. You ducked under his second swing for a quick slice... or so you thought.

"Vuukres, akhadun! Killed plenty of men going for the same underhanded attack." His kick had sent you flying against a pile of chopped wood. Your saber, where was it??? You were too dazed to pierce through the untimely haze around your eyes. You could feel the warm rush of blood by your left temple, your blood. No, now was not your time to die. Your precious daughter needed you...

"I-I w-won't let you harm my king!" The only thing standing between you and his bloody axe was the woman's trembling sword barely capable of keeping his weapon at bay. The giant had probably switched weapon to decapitate your head instead of outright smashing it with his great hammer. It should be more presentable this way to the rebel scum.

"You talk too much." with his other free hand, he grabbed her sword arm and...well...

He ripped it straight from the socket.

"GGGAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!" cried the woman in pain, in this particular moment, the world around you had become clearer. You had seized the opportunity by grabbing your saber a few feet to you right for a wicked slice between his legs, you couldn't aim higher even if you wanted to. A heavy thud would soon follow, it was accompanied by a river of blood as well.....did you just ended his bloodline? You might never know the outcome of this uneven fight since your body had given up on you at the worst moment possible, your orb were enshrouded by darkness.

Seleno..did you fail to save her? This was your last thought before the abyss would swallow you whole.

Warmth, sweet warmth all around you. Your eyelids begged you to enjoy this fleeting moment of peace and tranquility but alas, the mountain of burdens on your shoulders would force you to open your. eyes You were surrounded by foul-smelling air and... a woman's embrace?

"M-my lord???!" The redhead had sprung out of this makeshift bedding made out from branches and broad leaves "P-please pardon my most inelegant means of keeping you warm. Your body was shivering and I dare not to start a fire. Too many eyes around us."

"Your arm..." Your damn mouth had spouted these inappropriate words on its own. It was bandaged up poorly as one might have expected from a one armed person. In front you, five disemboweled skunks were dangling from the cave's entrance. If you had to guess, this was to deter the enfleshed from eating you both alive in your sleep

"A small price to pay for your safety, my lord." There was a short pause as your loyalist had avoided direct eye contact with you from her swelling shame "I couldn't land the finishing blow for your wellbeing was my top concern. The enfleshed had caught wind of the massacre. I was left with no choice but to head deeper into the forest. I know not of the brute's fate, I am afraid."

"What is your name?" You had so many questions in mind, starting with a simple one should be good enough.

"Johanna, my lord. If I may, the Northsari knows of your identity. I don't believe he had gone far with the raging storm outside, the ongoing enfleshed rampage ... and with him missing his manhood. I think it is a fool's errand, we should leave his place. .My men had hidden a 'special' wagon to the north, ."

>Yes, my identity is comprised, I am not safe in the excess any more. I must retrieve a certain...coffin. We can depart this gods forsaken place afterwards [Travelling Ichorist?]
>No, We hunt the Northsari down, together. We are staying in the excess no matter what.
>No, You are coming with me to the Ichorist's workshop. I doubt any man could survive afterwards. He must have bled to death long time ago.
>Consider a different approach?

"Tell her the ugly truth, O selfish king. Tell her you sold the very thing she had sworn to protect for me. Don't be a spineless coward."

"She will know the truth sooner or later... and she will twist her blade in your rotten chest for it~"

"Yes, my Lord," Nodded the clueless woman, her eyes had darted over another lightening strike in the distance "The elements are against us, should we wait it out before starting our search?"

"..." You couldn't give her a straight answer. Unfortunately, You could see little in this downpour not to mention the fact that it had been already a full day since since your last encounter with the Northsari. There was another issue namely Johanna's wound, without a man of medicine, her stump might fester past the point of no return. What should you do?

If you are to leave this cave (C.T.P , can also consume noontide depending on the action)

>Head to Sky Hook with Johanna, find any lead that wasn't washed out by the rain
>Try to forage for any medicinal berries/herbs in the area. Your expertise in this field is very limited but anything from your end is better than her sad excuse of a bandage.
>Hunt any game or anything else worthwhile in the area , the two of you need to start a fire with a hearty meal or the two of you will freeze to death if the storm had decided to linger beyond today
>Endure the rain to reach your workshop where you can think of your next step
>Consider a different approach?

if you wish to wait the storm out (C.T.P , can also consume noontide depending on the action)


>Start a fire, Ignore Johanna's warning. You need warmth, you could chat with her in the meantime (What to talk about?)
>Use your othertide whistle?

You refused to hide in a cave like a filthy vagabond. Returning to the excess should be your top priority regardless of Johanna's current status. Precious Seleno must not be left alone and you must resume your work. Thus, you had braved the endless swathes of rain until you had reached the safety of your house. None had broken into it. Good.

"My Lord..I-" Your shivering knight did her best to prepare a warm meal for you using whatever she could find in the pantry, the constant downpour had undid her bandages, her flesh and bones were visible. Her body could no longer handle the exhaustion you had put her through, she had collapsed on the wooden floor as expected from someone who hadn't received any treatment for her plethora wounds.

" The Purifier is five alleys away. You do need her, no?"

You too were tired and exhausted but if you did not act, Johanna might be dead within hours. No, you must go to the medicine woman before you would lose a potential ally.


The streets were mostly empty at this time of night as you carried the unconscious woman to the Apothecary. Her shop was a muted large house made out of flesh without any door or windows for that matt-

"Mother Tichelina, we seek your blessed flesh. They come to you in their time of need. Bless them, deliver their pain and suffering onto my flesh." The shop itself seemed to hum with a slimy slit for a door stretching wide enough just for you two "P-please do not be shy. Yes, I am enfleshed but my sanity and expertise are still intact...Mother had bestowed a shard of her heartore upon me staving off the madness and lack of self. Merging with my workplace isn't that terrifying as you might think. Please let me save your friend "

"What are you waiting for? Enter this tomb of flesh. This ought to be quite entertaining..."

Cont.

>>6261513
>>6261516
>>6261787

Once inside, you were staring at an undulating chamber made entirely out of flesh with several organs plastered over the walls and the ceiling. The Purifier would grow out of the floor to greet you as a lump of pulsating flesh mimicking a human. Despite the outlandish nature of this place, she still had medical supplies like any normal practitioner.

"Leave her at my care. She should be fine in a day or two . Her pain is mine to siphon." the kind enfleshed had refused to accept any form of payment. She did ask you to leave since her screams could be a tad uncomfortable for others. Essentially, she had gained the ability to 'purify' her patients hence the name. You could hear her muffled screams once you were outside but you knew Johanna was in good hands

Back to the workshop, your body was at its limits. For five days, you were doing a very poor job as an Ichorists who hadn't even opened his shop just yet. Some might be suspicious of your true identity...a problem indeed for someone with little time to spare. Even if that wasn't the case. You needed to be a better Ichorist through practice to fashion the perfect vessel for you daughter. Perhaps it was time to create a new Adoll?

>Yes, third time was the charm (What ingredients?)

Day VI
Morntide


"So many tasks for our beloved king, what should he do in his lonesome." before you could respond to this morning taunt, you heard someone knocking on your door. It was Lorenzo, the guard you had the displeasure of stumbling upon a few days ago.

"Oy, Mister Alfonz. Was wondering why your shop is still closed. If I hadn't known better, I would say a respectable man like you was to up to no good . The excess demand blood and sweat from us all."

"I am facing some ... minor difficulties with a new type of adolls I am working on." A quick lie, will it be enough?

"Uh huh." the guard had scratched his recently shaven chin "You wouldn't mind me seeing your fine work, no? I won't get in your way, I promise."

"..." This was not how you had imagined to start your day, what should you do?

>Create an adoll to satisfy his curiosity [Which ingredients to choose?]
>Refuse, make up an excuse of sorts.
>Lure him inside your house, kill the nosy guard
>Bribe him? [How much?]
>Consider a different approach?

"Our saint has notified us of the one armed woman in her care." Your eyes had widened for a second "Is she one of the survivors?"

"...what survivors?" You cursed yourself a thousand times for this naive and uncalculated response.

"A big caravan had been hit by a wave of the enfleshed south of the excess . We are doing what we can to find any survivors and apprehend any pillagers trying to reclaim the trove contaminated goods in the area. It is a long process process alright. Say, who is this woman? Do she have any papers? May I see them?"

>A random soul I found on the road
>My wife
>My sister
>My daughter
>My Slave


"I...err.."

We take a look at our actual ingredients and their qualities as the first step, why they are that quality, and if we can what sort of qualities they might give to an Adoll. Say if we tried to make one out of flowers, mushrooms, etc. what sort of doll would it be? Our thought process and so on. We hope he gets bored, also don't show him the human meat. Or the royal saber.

Well I imagine the Saint can get her real name from her in a couple days, and hopefully being the wife of someone with papers will make things less sketchy once its all done.

Your approach to his request was meant to kill any excitement stirring within him. By showing him your ingredients and boring him to death with random trivia, you have successfully wasted the guard's time.

"That's enough. A moment more and I might plug me ears with cork. The lads are going easy on you because it is your first week in the excess...starting from next week, you better work proper, four days a week or your license might be revoked. Don't forget our cut or we will come knocking. . A good one third of your earnings sounds about right, no? We keep you say and you keep us well fed."


"I understand." So that was why he was so invested in your craft. Slimy bastard was only interested in fattening his pocket. Speaking of....

-3000 Notr

"A sound choice. Come to the barracks tomorrow and her papers will be ready. I will be off, then. Duty calls and all that rubbish." With that said, Lorenzo was out of your hair. This could have gone A LOT worse at a drop of a hat.

Checking on Johanna, honing your skills as an Ichorist, earning more Notr... so many choices and so little time. What should you do?

Noontide

Like the good 'husband' you were, you checked on the Purifier working tirelessly on saving lives inside the comfort of her bowels. Johannawas still recovering from her injuries. The mass of unorganized saintly flesh had gently reminded you not to disturb her in her sleep. Just a little more time and she should return to your embrace as your 'wife'.

"AAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHH!!!!!!" Suddenly, the voice inside your head would screech in pain forcing you to twist and turn on the ground like a madman once you had left the Purifier.

"T-this woman, a descendant of those who murdered my mother. Twice the blood of man and Othertide, a Pale Kindred walking amongst us." Your knowledge was limited on this particular subject, from what little you understood, the marriage of flesh between man and othertides was hardly a fruitful one... abomination of grotesque features would spawn into this world as a result of the folly of man. However, the Pale Kindreds were a rare exception to this rule. Your noble line had gathered hundred of them in order to 'kill' the godkiller due to their extraordinary powers. The one your shade was pointing at seemed like a normal person, her blood must have been diluted across many, many generations "K-kill her, feed on her rancid flesh and you may relief AAARRRGGHHH me from this pain!"

"I am not doing that." The woman in question was buying fresh vegetables from a nearby stall. She didn't look threatening at all.

"T-there is a fraction of my mother's power in her soul. Consume her flesh and this knowledge is MRRFGHH, yours!"

Was it a lie? As much as you hate to admit it, this evil inside of you would always say the truth. Why would she try to deceive you now?

Sheesh I don't like to think our King needs to become a cannibal. If these people can basically kill our evil body guest there might be a good end where we could gather them again before we have to let the evil out.

Though with how things are going maybe people would rather see the King and kingdom suffer lol

>>Consider another approach?

Does it have to be her flesh? Offer to buy her hair for a wig? For an Adoll? Try to sell her a special comb and let her use it.

If we made an Adoll and the Adoll ate her, would it give power to that.

The Magic Book we got is all about stealing. Maybe theres something in there that would work.

You followed her throughout the day like her silent shadow, from what little conversations she had with others, you became aware of her status as a recent widow who was struggling with her two children. She ran plenty of odd jobs just to make by; a meatflaker, a washer, a , a crier, cart hauler... anything for that sweet, sweet Notr. The other more easier option of selling her body as it was heavily implied by a guard was out of the question. She might be struggling but she had valued her dignity more than Notr.

A perfect opportunity was waiting for you when she had entered an empty warehouse, she was unloading some bricks there leaving the main double door open behind her. You could smash her head with a brick, tuck her inside the cart for a smooth ride back to your home. The body could be covered with blankets as well Strangling her could work as well. What should you do?

Eventide

"Pardon me but may I ask you a-"

"W-who are you? Are you here to mug me??" With no one in sight, the rather paranoid woman saw you as a potential threat... she wasn't wrong though; the vile parasite was germinating some immoral ideas inside your head.

"No, no, I was merely going to ask you about your family. Is there anyone who had sullied their hands with blood or any other heinous crime?"

"HELP! HEEEEEEEELLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP " Cried the widow like a damn banshee. Soon, three meatflakers would rush to the scene.

"Is this man bothering you, Doleczia?" asked the slab of meat with small flakes of meat trapped in his long beard.

"He is asking me about my family like a spy or..or.. I don't know, he scares me!" Trembled the overreacting woman behind him.

"Gentlemen, please. This is a grave misunderstanding. I was merely inquired about-"

"Shut it!" The tallest of the bunch had spat on your face "Trying to have your way with a poor defenseless woman? Not on our bloody watch!"

"You cretin, You imbecile, You dung eating worm! I wish I could rip your throat myself..." She wasn't exactly thrilled with the bad situation you had gotten yourself into because of your morals.

"Wait a second, I know this guy..." squinted the one armed meatflaker "You look... familiar."

"I am your local Ichorist, Alfonz Govollo at your servic-" A surprise right hook had left you disoriented on the floor. It was quickly followed by another spit.

"Stay away from hapless widows, you disingenuous bastard!" The trio formed a human wall around your target until she had finished her work in the warehouse. You were dragged outside before she would close the place. A humiliating failure you had just suffered. What should you do?

Lol. I don't know if that could have gone any worse. Mostly I wanted to avoid cannibalism and murder, but I didn't think our King here would be so bad at talking to someone, or that he couldn't wait to do so when she wouldnt freak. Jesus Christ. Just felt weird that our King would even consider killing and eating a woman to me, but if she had such an interesting bloodline why just straight up ignore her after wasting an afternoon.

"An Adoll arm?" your fiendish shadow had calmed down to some extent, she was obliged to be helpful because of her oath which bound her to you "Yes and no, you will need human meat and blood and othertide flesh for the perfect mimic . An arm shaped one."

"Is there any other alternatives?" Othertide flesh wasn't readily available.

"Living wood or metal then. O most unwise king, you are asking the wrong questions, should your knight accept this unholy appendage in the first place?" Well, it was good to know at least.

The night sky was silently watching you upon reaching the pit. Dozens of miners toiling their lives away for wealth like small and insignificant worms burrowing within the flesh of a dead god-

An explosion, it had sent a terrible quake throughout the district. You saw miners fleeing for their lives as the uninviting mouth of the pit was coated with more malignant growth, the enfleshed were crawling out of there like half molten beasts who were too stubborn to die.

You too should have turned tail and fled the scene but your last encounter with the paranoid woman had left a bitter taste in your mouth. No, you would not accept defeat so easily. Into the dangerous pit you went

Cont.

>>6267081

>>6267671

A shovel, a lantern and a pickaxe... you had picked one of the many tools left on the ground before heading inside the great unknown. The more you avoided the swathe of enfleshed in this pulsating tunnel, the more you realized that these sluggish creatures had twisted infantile features, they could absolutely kill you though if you were not careful so it was for the best to give them a wide berth.

You had no idea where you were going in this meaty labyrinth, the miner said something about marking the entrance with a barely noticeable mark in this chaos...like this unassuming wooden stick embedded in an unlit area. There was indeed a hatch leading a set of fleshy stairs, recently made too... you were on the right track by a stroke of unforeseen luck,

The smell of blood and gore grew stronger further inside this mining shaft. You could already see more growths trying to reclaim much of this uneven passage forcing you squeeze in between lumps of flesh until one wrong misstep had sent you to a bloody slide. A waterfall of divine blood had delivered you to an overflowing pool where you saw it:

Dozens of enfleshed bowing in silence on an island

"Most interesting..." Their feral nature had been abated for one reason of another. You made your way to the small island only to find the remains of your adoll, she must have triggered the ongoing infestation. As for the miner, his enfleshed carcass was holding something...miraculous:

A divine seed

Cont.

>>6267081
>>6267126
>>6267671

"..." The dead man was hoping he could find wombore not an actual fertilized seed of a goddess. Your precious Seleno was special because of her mother. She had the ichor of the gods running through her veins... very diluted across many generations but this golden fetus enveloped in a transparent shell? she was fully divine from head to toe. Of course you would pry the seed out of the miner's hands. It...it was beautiful...

"I....I can turn my daughter into a Goddess . " her soul should be more than compatible with this golden vessel...assuming you had the means and resources to grow the seed at the first place.

"Feast on it, drink her holy yolk and our powers will be unmatched." Another bloody options suggested by the ravenous parasite "Selling the seed will drown you in so much wealth. I must warn you...you will paint a target on your back should you intend to keep her. Her aura is simply too delicious to be ignored by the likes of me."

What should you do?

-Take the divine seed with the intention of

>Selling her (Must find a way to contact someone in the richest district first)
>Using her as an Celestial Flesh (SSS)
>Raising her as the divine vessel for your daughter (Must have an incubation chamber in your house, Canto Bea could help you...for a price.)

>Raising her as the divine vessel for your daughter (Must have an incubation chamber in your house, Canto Bea could help you...for a price.)
Only the best for our baby

>>6267780
Well thats quite the choice. So if we raised the vessel we wouldn't need anything else? No need for finding 3 SSS parts and an anima. But we would need the money to buy the incubation chamber. But our evil guest will try to kill or control us into eating it before that, can she get around her oath?

I had an idea. If we could put our evil buddy into an Adoll, would the blessing of the gods we got which guarantees obedience 100% work on her?

>>6267960
A risky proposition. Is that indeed the case, that only the seed & incubation chamber would be needed to save our daughter? If so,
>Divine Vessel

Any pictures of the enfleshed?

Focusing on the day to day would take a great burden off of our shoulders, simply trying to gain enough Notr to pay off the guard, Canto Bea, & provide for our guard.

Post advert on /QTG/ by the way, this is an important vote.

>>6267960
we can't make an adoll without her either ways. The oath did bind us and her until victory or a bitter end
>>6267973

The probablity of this event was one in five hundred by the way. Can't believe how lucky you were
>>6267960
Nurturing the divine seed (and keeping her a secret) is a very arduous task A different kind of difficulty

>>6268007
Damn, I'm really wrestling with it inside. Eating this divine seed has some real demon king vibes. His lack of personal power has been the cause of a lot of misfortune and suffering, personally and to the Kingdom with this successful rebellion.

On the other hand this is clearly the key to a very good ending, where the daughter has the power and grace of a Goddess, which would hopefully be raised strong enough to defeat the Evil we will end up unleashing on the Kingdom. If we have the will and vision to see it done.

You have decided to claim this divine body not for yourself but rather for your special daughter. Dear Seleno should deserve the very best. Nothing could top a vessel of a goddess.

"Foolish, gullible king, this seed will rot without her dead mother's care. I would say in a week's time . The Othertide's debt, the guards' cut and of course the price of the incubation chamber.... do you have what it takes to earn so much's Notr in a single week ?Fufufu~" behind her mocking tone was an indirect advice: Wealth should be all of your concern for the following week.

It should have been impossible for you to return to the surface had it been for the seed's holy presence. Bones would bend, flesh would be stripped away in front of you until you had found yourself in the wilderness just outside of the city. That would be for the best , you had taken advantage of the ongoing chaos to sneak inside your home. The minute cracks of the golden shell was rather concerning, you need this chamber lest the seed would perish and with it, your hopes or acesneding your daughter to godhood.

Day VII
Morntide


You woke up as early as you could for two reasons: Today was your last day of freedom before the guards would start hounding you for not working and you need to speak with Canto Bea before picking up Johanna from the purifier.

"Good day to y-what is that smell? it is so intoxicating .." Bits of the real othertide would spill out of his skin suit "...must... MMMRGGAAAHHHH!!!! "

You went for your saber in order to protect the future vessel of your daughter but there was no need; all of those teeth and tendrils would recede back inside a few moments later " Apologies, It is in Canto Bea's nature to devour and consume. No, Canto Bea must be better for more customers. The scent of Notr is faint on you, you are tempting Canto Bea...not good for you and the divine morsel behind this door."

After a quick explanation, you asked him for help, his reply was rather concerning "That will be another Thirty thousand Notr , forty three thousand in total. You could toil away in your workshop....or you could possess a rather dim-witted beast so he could... acquire some Pale Kindred children for me. Five thousand a head, pretty generous, no?"

Through a hand mirror in hand, one could see an Eastsari village in the desert surrounded by mystical winds...and too many guards.

>Refuse such a vile offer, you wouldn't stain your hands for the sake of Notr. You would work for it.
>Accept, the beast is the one doing all the vile deeds , not you [3x C.T.P]

>>6268977

43,000 Notr...We haven't actually sold any Adolls so its hard to put in perspective.

I had been thinking maybe we could check out the dead miner's house for stuff since we know he won't be back for it. The deed to his house he put down as "collateral". IF he doesn't have a family. Or try to put the debt of the Adoll on his family, he "disappeared" with it. Bit slimy but we need cash. Or sell the magic book if that was worth enough to someone. Resort to banditry after that, with the super sword and rebel activity we could do it on our own which would be pretty hard for others to track. Shame we didn't get to loot that battlefield at all.

An eastari village with a bunch of guards. Some kind of slaver camp? Even if we don't raid the place they'll be sold to whoever. Or an entire camp of Pale Kindred who know they would be hunted? Is 5,000 Notr really the value of a Pale Kindred child slave, seems kind of low to me but its hard to tell.

>>6268977
>Accept, the beast is the one doing all the vile deeds , not you [3x C.T.P]
Is it possible to eat/sell it if the king fails to get the funds in time?

+1 to checking out the Miner's house/looting it/selling it via the deed.
The spellbook could be valuable, but attempting to find a buyer could be of great risk to us.
I would accept the deal, but only if it is indeed a slaver camp.
Also, the guards should be pre-occupied for a time with the enfleshed infestation.
Ultimately we need to make another adoll to sell for practice & profit, then when the guardswoman is healed, we can have her shop for ingredients while we work tirelessly throughout the week. Once we have enough Notr saved up, we can then focus on creating an adoll arm for her.

Where did you get the term Notr from, anyway?

"Oooh, this will be interesting. Trading children's lives for yours? And you have the gall to call me a heartless one, phe!" You had ignored her for the umpteenth time to focus on the task at hand. The more you stared at this mirror, the more your soul would become less tethered to your body. It only took a single blink for you to find yourself inside of a body of an otherworldly brute...an amalgamation of so many creatures vying for control. No wonder this othertide was described as dimwitted....nothing fruitful could be achieved with so many voices in a single body. Luckily for you, you had exerted total control over...oh..

There was a good reason Canto Bea had chosen you specifically for this task, a shimmering barrier had protected the village from both man and beast, said barrier was erected by your regal ancestors as it was seen with this out-of-place pillar in the heart of the village. A sly merchant, he was....

>>6269343
-Unfinished Flesh [6 Co.]
We enter with the form of a Shade or Patrolling guard. The shade I feel like no one would really try to talk to them as they wander or patrol. If the patrolling guard was eating something he might get by without greeting. We get the unattended PK playing with sand.

-Inky Festersacks [2 Co] x2 equals 4 Co.
The 6 PK eating together and 6 Guards. They're all together that should make for a nice big group we can stun. But as a precaution let's say we use two Ink sacks to make sure both groups are stunned and we take care of them without spilling blood if we can. That is hopefully 8 PK captures. 40,000 Notr. If it needs a third or fourth Ink Sack to stun everyone or to disappear in an inky burst go ahead.

At this point we should hopefully only need one more even if the camp is alerted. At most I'd anticipate we've spent like 14 Co, at best maybe 10. We aim for the 3 drawing maps of the beyond. Two more Inky Festersacks to stun the PK and the Shadowhounds. 11 PK if we grabbed them all. 55,000 Notr.

We can pull out here if we've succeeded, we're not greedy.

If we still need more from the worm or whatever grabbing them before us then go for the ones communing with the dead. Same tactics, Inky Festersacks to stun the groups, grab the PK, get out.

You had separated yourself into smaller and more nimble parts, most of them were these festersacks though. For the most part, your plan was an acceptable success. Your unfinished flesh did catch the unattended children while the smaller festersacks did manage to catch most of the children eating together. it would have been more had it not been for the elusive shades meddling with your plans.. It was a cascade of guards, alarms and precious children disappearing inside of the escape worm. All in all, you have delivered nine out of twenty children

"Not a bad haul." Canto Bea was somehow impressed of your puppeteering skills "Your debt is settled, ser. Allow Canto Bea to house your succulent morsel into somewhere more befitting to her status as a goddess in the making..."

Another empty section of your house had turned into an incubation chamber, there. The divine seed should be safe and sound in there. However, the incubation chamber alone wouldn't be enough to turn the seed into something glorious. The othertide had spoken of something called Ambrosia . If not given within a week's time, The seed would surely perish

"Canto Bea has one, for the low price of one hundred thousand Notr..." Your eyes had widened from the sly's offer. How could you accumulate such wealth in a short period of time? You ought to ask around about this miraculous mixture of nutrients.

Day VIII
Morntide

You left the house to bring Johanna back home just in time for her new papers. The one armed woman could speak with you more freely now, unfortunately, everything the loyalists were accumulating and building up over the last couple of months became in shambles after the well organized attack. Curses, could that Northsari be still alive? There was no way to tell.

"I am at your command, my lord." Your 'wife' had reminded you of her sworn duties to you. Four days of work and the rest should be spent at your own leisure, that was the plan. What should you do?

Jeez. 100,000 Notr? In a week? But actually only a few of those days are Free because more than half our week needs to be in the workshop? While having a curse that doubles every CTP action? This chamber didn't give us much for costing 40k~. And then what, how often does she need Ambrosia? Are we going to have to make 100k a week? A Month?

If we start asking about Ambrosia that will look suspicious.

If I had to guess there should be one true source, which would be Tichelina's body. This goddess in the making was born and growing there it should have had ambrosia that would have been fed to it. Otherwise it would have been pointless for this goddess to even been born there.


>Work day (Bound to the workshop all day)

>Speak with _____ [Topic?]
Speak with our evil headmate to ask about Ambrosia. How to make it, where we can find it, does she know where some might have been stored by other gods and mortals? How we can get past the enfleshened to get the Ambrosia. We've got all day to talk with her.

>Study Shades of Al-Zaheef Spellbook
I'm gonna need some kind of edge if we have to go into the flesh mines or have to steal some. Shadow magic to move quietly or to move fast. If we can do that we also have the royal saber so hopefully we can become a combat beast. To see in the dark.

>Try to track down the Northsari (if he is still alive)
If hes dead good, maybe we can harvest him for ingredients. If hes alive he does need to die.

Johanna has her armor and gear after she pulled us to safety right? Would that make for ingredients to an Adoll? She didn't have a rebel base or caches of supplies around?

>>6270888
+1 to all of these, but why do we need 3 rest days again?
We need to gather as much as we can to create Adolls, never know how much they might end up being worth. But 100k is out of the question, we'll have to find Ambrosia on our own. In fact, a decent hybrid mining/killing Adoll would be ideal to dig it up for us.

>>6270897
The exact details escape me on the work and rest days. I guess the local guards/government expect us to pay taxes so we gotta devote some days to workshop?

I was kinda surprised that Mudusa died, she was specially tough, resistant to magic, and the enfleshed weren't supposed to bother her. I would have said we just make another one of her but I guess she triggered a cave in or something.

Could still try to make another one, I think her ingredients weren't that hard to get. But I figure if we've got some stuff on hand or nearby that would be nice. Maybe check the Miner's house for stuff since hes "vanished with our adoll."

I'm thinking about creating a Qst on fiction.live, linking to here, & then updating there whenever I post. If you're willing to put up with the coomer comments on there, might be worth a shot.

>>6271849
Could archive and start a new thread so its at the top, or Ponti's suggestion, the QST Discord has a number of other QMs and players I think. If you feel like you wanna take a break then continue or move on to a different story I'll look out for it.

"Yes, my lord." Johanna gathered what she could and left the workshop. It had been a few days but if she was lucky, she might find what happened to this bastard.

"Ambrosia, you say? It is often a vague term for any source of nourishment that is fit for the gods. Milkore should be readily available in the Pva district...for an equally steep price to be sure. Rare magical food works as well, provided you add soul(s) to the mixture. A tricky endeavour, isn't it? Will our resourceful king nourish the divine seed or will he watch it rot along with his hopes and dream? Regardless, I will be quite entertained of either outcomes. Your misery does taste better for me~"

You cursed under your breath, to reach the bosom district, you must have access to the belly district first. For now, you had poured all of your attention into your dubious book all day long. It should have taken months, years or even decades to master the forbidden arts of the Shades of Al-Zaheef but your ancestors had often dabbled in the arcane arts, it felt...natural for you to attain mastery over the Duuol. You could harvest the shades of others at the cost of their own sanity for it to be used as either a potent ingredient.. or to fashion your own dark spawns. to do your bidding...

Johanna had returned at the end of the day, while she couldn't find any trail of the Northsari, she did salvage a bit of her previous camp. The guards had stripped it clean for the most part but they couldn't find a couple of secret stashes.

Does Dragonember count as a solid or a liquid? Either? I'm going to make an assumption and say its some kind of harvested dragon part. If we can make some kind of dragon girl adoll with the human flesh lol. Maybe throw in Duoll to give her shadow powers for stealth? A Shadow Dragon Girl? I'll aim for that I think.

Maybe she can fly, maybe she can just sneak really well and has enough power to protect herself. Dragonember, Human Flesh, Duoll, __ Anima.
So we could gain access to the Pva/Bosom district to buy or steal some Milkore as Ambrosia. Which means money to bribe or buy a pass or figure out how to sneak in and out without getting caught. Or make some magical food with souls added in, which means we'd end up killing people in some way.

If the Shadow Dragon Girl works out I'd probably try to have her sneak in if we can't figure out an actual way in. Or we could try aiming for the people who would not be missed to make this weird soul meal until we can get the Milkore.

I'll have to think on it and hear from the fellows

>Free day (three left)

>Speak with _____ [Topic?]
Speak with Johanna. Would she be okay with some kind of Adoll arm so she could continue her duties as a warrior and protector of our bloodline? It could be a potent weapon if the Northsari survived to warn others. I believe the options were some kind of mimic, living wood or living metal, whichever would really help her as a warrior. Then precisely what materials she must secure whether thats in the wild or in the market and we can give her some Notr.

>Harvest Duuol (3x C.T.P, current radius: Waist district, select mode: Average)
If we can get some flesh miners who were sleeping off some serious drinking and hangovers it could be confused with alcohol poisoning, or some tainted drinks, or they succumbed to some internal mutation as their kind do.

Johanna
>Consider a different approach?
I'd like her to gather ingredients for her new arm, or just some stuff we will need if she wants to think on it. Whatever she can get from the Miner's house. He 'vanished' with our Adoll Mudusa and hasn't brought the agreed payment, its our right to collect. He must have some ores, gear, notr, or something we can use as ingredients. If he had Maps of Tichelina, of the flesh mines, that could be very useful to us.

If we can get his maps we might be able to use them to navigate up to the Bosom and get our own Milkore. Some gear. Make an Adoll to protect us or do it for us, it could be our solution to the Ambrosia.

>>6272641
I was also going to suggest sending her to collect payment (loot) the miner's house. We should have her bring the written agreement if we had one made, along with her marriage papers so that she's fully justified acting on our behalf. Also, she should be exempt/unaffected by the time curse afflicting us, thus:
>Speak with Johanna about her arm...
>Johanna to the Miner's House
>After she brings back her findings, go try to source the things we need for her arm, adolls in general, & gather info on where we would find milkore or magic food specifically

As for us,
>Work Day
>Open shop, make Adolls
>Offer a reduced price in return for info on milkore or magic foods, or if they bring other ingredients we need for adolls (make it seem, just as with Johanna's inquiries, that they are merely other ingredients on our overall list for adolls so as to arouse the least suspicion)

>>6272669
That reduced price for the bits we need and ingredients sounds like a solid move. And on a big list of stuff should help disguise our intent. Its basically a list of anything that might come from the giant goddess corpse.

I am mighty tempted to get the Duuol shadows from people as an ingredient, but that does sound look a good plan. I'll support it. We can save the free day for later and have more ingredients hopefully.

You have given Johanna a set of orders... which had resulted in even more questions. Like the whereabouts of said miner's house or whether your agreement was written or purely oral and what did your agreement entail.... you stated to her that it was agreed to split anything to be found in meaty depths of the dead goddess. Technically speaking, YOU should be the one recompensating the grieving family of the miner if you knew where he lived of course. It was a sad dead end for you. No, you would not attain what little riches the poor miner once had in his possessions.

"My missing arm? If restoring it would help me to aid you further, then I have no issue with it, my lord." At least she had agreed to that. She was sent to the inquire more about living metal/wood and of course any Ambrosia related tidbits. If all things failed, she could gather more ingredients for you.

At long last, your workshop was finally opened for business. An extra discount was available should anyone would provide any good information about any sort of magical food (without mentioning the divine seed).

Right from the get-go , four clients were waiting for you. This was going to be a very long day.

-The Grieving Mother

"I-i lost my daughter to the sea. Please kind ser, I beg of you. Fill that void in my heart, Fashion a lie out of this pendant of her, t-that a selfsake, right?"

" Anything will do , I only desire the company of someone calling me mother..."

" I only have 900 Notr on me , it isn't much but please, find it in your heart to bring joy to a childless mother. I-i can't live without my daughter..."

"Milk what? Ser, I only fish for a living..."


-The Pompous Artisan

"A simple task for an Ichorist, I hope. I need a decent Marionette for my paintings. I shall base my price according to the quality of your adoll."

"I loathe haggling . Do not waste my time with such trivialities. You either take my Notr or not."

"I can be very generous, do keep that in mind."

"Milkore? Why, I do use it for my paintings sometimes for that extra touch. No offense, friend, but my supplier will not deal with someone of your...current status. I am only here to inspect the new Ichorist. Poor first impression so far..."


- The Hook-nosed Deviant

"An Ichorist eh? I got all you need right here. . Since I have the ingredients, I am expecting a very good discount ."

"Got 5000 Notr on me . I am expecting to return to my home with half of it and a nice harlot . I want her to be feisty ."

" No Orifices, No deal. got me? As human as possible, I won't mind... Certain Ingredients ."

"Pretty popular in the bosom district, but I guess you already know that."

-The Gluttonous chef

"I got something juicy for you...food is my specialty after all. One free adoll and my information is yours~"

"There are no proper laws for the adoll, ser. They are but tools for us to use... or eat . Yes, I do want an edible adoll. I want to hear her scream helplessly the more I gnaw her delectable flesh. Why are you looking at me like that? I know Ichorists have their dirty little secrets..."

"Price? Depends on the taste , 20000 Notr for absolute perfection, 10000 for mediocre flesh, 5000 for a passable meal and a measly 1000 for a barely edible adoll."

Due to your overall inexperience, you could only create two adolls per day.

Holy shit this setting is fucked up (& I love it). The Cannibal Chef seems like our best bet for a quick return on investment, but the Yahud Deviant says he has the ingredients with him. Ultimately we want the Milkore more than anything, but the Dandy seems disinclined to part with the information. That said, he clearly has a supply... We should make the Rattatoulie Gabbaghoul with Human Flesh of course, discretely.

My proposal:
>Create a Harlot Adoll for the Yid Degenerate, combining the Delight & Disdain Animas if possible to ensure she is "Feisty" (practice run to hopefully boost results on the next one, & possibly gain some leftover ingredients)
>Create a Marionnette Adoll for the Fop, instilled with a secret compulsion to gather Milkore at night when her master is asleep (hopefully Johanna is back by then with more ingredients we might need)
>Tell the Ghastly Gourmand we shall gather the ingredients we need for his special request & create an Edible Entity to his liking on the morrow
>Once Johanna returns, have her take down details from the Childless Crone so as best to fulfill her wish (& keep Johanna from observing our ghastly work); we will fulfill her request on the morrow as well, or barring that, the next day (leave some slight flexibility in our schedule)

>>6273035
I could maybe make a Marionette out of Wood, Flowers, Dirty water, and an anima. Except Wood would tank the quality and there is no quality listed for a bunch of stuff. Maybe replace something with the Adoll dress, Excess Guard Outfit, or Dragonember. Though Evangelyne's dress might be better as a selfsake.

If I were to get even more creative?
Notr are what? Actual cloth paper mix notes? Or coins? All of a certain quality and standard so they are resistant to decay, thats one of the points of money. They've been handled by a lot of people and some of them care quite a bit about their money if that factors in to its power as an ingredient. Of course that quite a gamble and its Notr for Notr lol.

We just don't have any other liquids around but the dirty water. Whatever the brothel guy brought which maybe he brought more than we need for one Adoll, or we can swap it. We could try using our own blood, or their blood if they want to offer. Hair. Atleast for the Chef guy I do have an idea. Mushrooms can be pretty tasty and fleshy. Double mushroom despair.


>Pompous Artist, Marionette
An artisan puts some of himself into his works, and is regardless of cost
The King's hair off his head, some Notr that are in the best condition, a cup of his own royal blood, Delight Anima.

Though I'll be frank if she turns out way better than expected I might wanna keep her. Maybe we can work out something with the Artist if hes really impressed, but not a haggle. He needs a model from time to time, we can escort her over...That would give us temporary access to the section we need?

I'd think we'd only wanna try a blood donation adoll like once a month or two if that I don't wanna be greedy with it but we don't have anything really high quality

>The Hook-nosed Deviant
Just make him his Adoll, hes got the ingredients. Disdain I think would work.

>Haggle? (optional)
Ask the Mother to come back later with whatever she can get. Some of her daughters old clothes. A flask of sea water. Some fish or clams since shes a fisherwoman. If she wants a closer bond with the adoll maybe consider her own hair and blood. Then the selfsake on top. She won't even need to pay us, I'd rather that if she ever fishes up something interesting, outstanding, or unusual that she bring it to us and we call it even.

Ask the Chef to come back and we'll make something for his particular...Tastes.

That damn unhinged 'smile', It was stuff of nightmares for sure.

"Get dressed, now is not the time, my sweet rosepie. As for you, I am feeling mighty generous. Should have paid much, much less than that but consider it as an investment for future adolls." Just like that, he had taken your 'daughter' with him. The promiscuous adoll did expose her rear one last time on her way out just to tease you, Foolish succubus.

As for the grieving mother, she was more than grateful for your offer. She had promised to return with a 'catch fitting for a king'. Little did she know...

"Patience is not a virtue of mine, ser. I shall return in two day's time. Do not disappoint me." The dhef wasn't pleased of being an afterthought.

"I have returned, my lord." Johnna had spent the entire day outside, her arrival had brought a mixture of good and bad tidings. Asides from the plethora of ingredients she had graciously brought through unknown means, the only tidbit of information she could gather was about a possible location for living wood. A dark forest by the name of Csibi's nest , it was a day's walk from the excess meaning that three entire days would be lost to claim this prized ingredients...and a five thousand Notr from the guards stationed there for them to look the other way. Travelling there should be in pairs because of the dangers lurking in the forest.

"It is not worth it, my lord. Your time is too precious for someone like me." It was up to you whether you want to invest more time into her or not.

Could have been worse for sure. We should make it clear we'll get her arm back as soon as we've acquired enough milkore or magical food for an urgent project.
So the crone is indisposed, but the chef (I assume dhef is a typo) wants something within two days. That means the next day we'll have two free customer slots, or failing that, one free & one for the chef. Between the long pork, mushrooms, venison, animal blood, & pure water we should be able to fulfill his request sufficiently. We know the Mishapen Adoll wants eyes, & the Macaroni may just spread ill tidings of us. I say we sick the Udoll on him to claim his eyes as he has just left for the evening, & tell it to bring back all the milkore, notr, etc. it finds in his home. After that, we can send it to the mines to gather resources at night, or simply dispose of it. It's him or us. So to summarize,
>Tell Johanna we'll travel to the Forest as soon as we have an Adoll capable of fighting off any threats & we've gathered enough Milkore/Magic Food for our most vital project
>Sick the Udoll upon the Doodle Dandy in secret to claim his eyes for herself, milkore & notr for us, attach the eyes for her in reward, then send her to the mines once she returns & tell her not to return until she finds something of worth there (all at night)
>Work Day

I'm glad you asked. That's what it do:

In this case though, it just allows me to draw more anons into my hand to play as voters & keep this Qst going (because it's kino as fuck)

My plan fell through so I say go for it. Maybe the power of obsession and rebellion is such she can do whatever it takes to complete herself. Rebellion does imply her own will is very strong. If she has the ability to complete herself I wonder if she can take any part of someone onto herself? If she can use his eyes, his hair, his skin, his shape, his clothes. Absorb all the spilled blood. At least as a human-like if she can cover her face she can sorta blend in.

I wonder if her berserk form is strong too.

+1, go rebellious meat creation!

Did my shilling in the /QTG/ manage to draw in more voters, or was it the Pot of Greed? Either way, welcome aboard

>Name her?
>>Bell
>Gain five new formulas of new adoll types
>Gain five new formula for new traits (can be positive or negative)

>>6273699
I mentioned my plan for her previously.

Is the
>Next Adoll Trait Reroll
for every other Adoll we make, or literally just the next? If so, I'll go with that, otherwise,
