alright. a questdis.
yea... so saisai is now suicidal because we broke her mind (why did we do that to her?)

So... how do we convince her to go along with us?

broke her mind? what do you mean?

She was broken to start with. We all knew that.

Can more than one person be bonded with the same person?

Also way things are going, we are gonna get a tragedy, which is no good.

Also yes she was broken, how did quest handle that?

HURRDURR, push Artemis and Morgan together!

don't get me wrong, Morgan is cool, but really, she has no NEED. Also Artemis said things had gone to a standstill there.

all that aside, Wind Dragon has probably been making broken headness worse. That and Artemis being a cold cold man.

Artic man. Artic

>>348353
oh no man. we pushed as hard as we could to get art with saisai. apparently helping morgan make a phoenix down caused art to fall head over heels for her. seriously he gets mad at saisai for HITTING him and forgives morgan instantly for KILLING him.

Wait a second... could being brought back to life by the phoenix down caused side effects?

This is the Information Corner, with Little Ombra! Hey, did you know I'm talking to you guys all the time from the back of that dumb kids head? Look at the email field!

We might as well break up with Morgan now.

To put it bluntly - He has spent 0 leisure time with her, period. He constantly has to console Saisai. He runs off with her without warning.

Oh, and he bound his soul with her, so we can't really date or sleep with Morgan, closed link or no, without experiencing pain and sadness and anger. We don't really have a choice here - Saisai dies otherwise - so there was no point to persue a relationship with anyone besides Saisai in the first place.

As much as I like Morgan, there's no reason to put her through the pain and angst of us being soulbound to a jealous and needy woman.

>I don't want to bind with Morgan, I'm not sure yet.

And then

>OH SHIT SHE GONNA DIE BETTER SOUL BIND RIGHT THE FUCK NOW

Yeah. That's really a decision. Except it's not. It's emotional manipulation and the threat of death.

>>348359
dawww. little ombra is so cute!
She would make an awesome waifu!

Wait... what? she was talking via email field? I didn't notice o.O

>>348360
Estia said "at least one person"... the soulbind DOES allow poly relationships.

Also, in retrospect, wouldn't saisai feel attracted to morgan now?

>>348364

>Estia said "at least one person"... the soulbind DOES allow poly relationships.

Because Morgan was totally gunning for one before.

She said she doesn't want one. Unless that has changed, then this is hurting her.

Furthermore, it STILL wasn't really a choice.

ok so art soulbound to saisai to save her life. and then art tells morgan that. and then morgan, being the crazy bitch she is, wont listen and just dumb his ass for something that you feel is cheating?
no she will feel weird but she will listen and talk about it. if she DOES dump him at the first sign of stormy waters then she wasn't a good girlfriend anyway.

>>348368
basically that.
Also someone in main said to get estia on breaking the temporary bond.
1. Estia is not an extremely powerful mage.
2. That serves no purpose except for dooming saisai. This is a possibility AFTER Aeryr is out and even then I don't see it happening.

>>348368
>>348368
We will tell Morgan. I can gaurentee you she will not be HAPPY. She might not boot us in the fork, but she will likely be displeased.

Furthermore, this WAS NOT A CHOICE. We were essentially FORCED to 'choose' Saisai.

>>348379
She only got possessed because she was the closest person besides art when he killed the dragon and we chose to suggest possession to said dragon. And this does fit in universe with what is going on and what we are doing.

As for being forced to choose her... saisai was not interested in art from the beginning, we pushed and pushed and chipped at her step by step, eventually making her to like him, then more and more dependent as we cut her off from everyone else for her own good and proved how bad they are for her and how good art is for her. Then when we finally got it we went "sorry, no thanks"... Then we tried for the poly option but handled it poorly and it didn't stick.

So aside from having "brought it on ourselves" deal, this is ALSO opening the door for a viable chance at having that poly relationship which everyone was clamoring for, since now art has the excuse of "I had to do it to save her life", so if morgan doesn't break up with him (or does but gets back together) then it might work out... yea she isn't gonna be HAPPY but being upset is not necessarily the complete and utter end of the relationship.

>>348390

I'm sorry, I never voted for Saisai. :V

>>348396

Well so what? A lot of things that lead to this were things I voted against too.

But this is what was democratically elected. Just because what YOU voted for didn't win doesn't mean the author was railroading.

Dumping some wild guessing I made in IRC (regarding the Dragon Slayer from Guardian Quest) and edited out mostly irrelevant stuff.

<Anonymage>: the Dragon Slayer... is Oraes. Or what's left of her.
<Anonymage>: And one possible reason why Sandra is being so protective of it is because she can tell
<starburst98>: the dragon slayer was made years before she died
<Larro>: I did say oraes's body was silver :P
<starburst98>: like, 1000 years
<Anonymage>: Well, that doesn't mean it can't be part of her, still
<Anonymage>: Maybe she "donated" some scales or something.
<Larro>: That's highly possible
<Seven01a19>: Clearly, we should ask Sandra what she 'hears' from the the sword.
<Seven01a19>: If her soul clung to the Dragon Slayer, then we can very easily bring her back.
<Anonymage>: What can kill a dragon? A weapon made from dragon bits.
<starburst98>: except the sword makes a very obvious anti-dragon field.
<starburst98>: not just super sharp vs dragon
<Anonymage>: star: If Oraes 'willingly' gave her life to Sharaes to be used as a tool to balance power by way of there being a threat to all their lives, you can explain the abilities of the Dragon Slayer.
<Larro>: I will consider this..
<Anonymage>: Likewise if she was brutally murdered by the other dragons, and her hatred continues to burn within the sword.
<Anonymage>: anyway this is all just wild guessing and doesn't mean Sharaes didn't just find a space rock somewhere that was like dragon kryptonite and decide to make the sword out of that

Dump finished. You can laugh now.

More quests added to the list

The Test was started just because I had a crazy idea of someone using their own bodies to solve puzzles. It's slow updates are due to the fact that puzzles involving bodies are damn difficult to come up with.

How to be an Overlord was a thought I had a while ago. I was discussing Rune Factory with someone and they made a comment along the lines of killing innocent townsfolk instead of monsters to farm for items. I had a few of the servants sketched out for a while but no one for the protag until yesterday it hit me, /quest/ is the protag. Then everything fell into place.

Feel free to ask any questions regarding either of the quests in here.

Some mechanics for Overlord
Attacks are rolled for in my /tg/ thread on this sight.
1= Crit Fail with a chance of inflicting a terrible wound on yourself. With a 1, 20 you somehow managed to wound the target along with yourself.
2= Fail and wound self.
3-9= Fail
10-18/19= Success with normal damage unless using a weapon with a crit of 19-20. Emily's blade arm has a crit range of 19-20.
19= Double Damage
20=Critical Hit. Certain spells and weapons make 20 a instant death.

Most characters can move 3 squares per turn unless they have a ability that lets them do otherwise. Running allows someone to double their speed at the cost of a Attack action.

The battle has different phases which are
Placement: Placing your Servants before the battle starts (Only done at the start of battle)
Move: Moving up to the total amount of squares you can move per round
Item: Using stored items.
Attack: Attacking...
End: Enemies turn now.

If there are anymore questions or comments feel free to say them here.

Also: Another doodle I made working on the quest. A fighter class trying to take on the Overlord. Perhaps from his more youthful and not broken days

Thanks for the overlord info!

Emily Stat Sheet

Her only real power is her Arm Blade which can slice for x2 damage at 18-20 as opposed to just 20.
She can also Levitate over gaps and difficult terrain without taking any penalty to movement.

Rage: If Overlord or Rose are bloodied within 2 spaces of Emily her attack do an automatic x2 damage but she must attack every round. Every round. Even against Allies.
Endure: Emily can work up to -5 HP at which point she simply falls apart.

what are the Overlord's stats right now?

------------------------------------
Rose uses a Spear which can hit enemies up to 2 spaces away. She can also toss the spear at minus accuracy for x2 damage at a range of 4 squares.
Comrades in Arms: When within one space of Emily and the Overlord her attacks do an additional 5 damage.
Jump: Using her Spear Rose can launch herself into the air and slam down on an opponent within 3 squares any side of her for double damage. Crit jump is Instant Death to most enemies. Can only be used once per encounter.

Magic explained
--------------------
Spellcasters use MP for their spells. They start with and have a maximum 1 MP + 1/Level. A level 4 spellcaster would have 1 natural MP + 4 bonus MP for a total of 5MP. Basic spells take 1 MP to cast with stronger spells taking more. This would leave a spellcaster with only a few spells to cast before running out of MP, but as a move action they can charge to generate another MP for them to cast with. So when using charges they can: stand still and charge 2 MP, move and charge 1 MP, or stand still to charge one MP and cast a spell with it.

Picture: Basic Element Wizard to the left. Time Wizard to the right.

Do the move, attack, and item need to happen in the order listed, or can you do stuff like attack then move?

Ruby is extremely weak in everything but her magic.
She's level 2 so she has 2 MP and one spell, Fire which does an average of 12-15 damage for 1 MP

At levels 4 7 10 13 16 19 20 she gets new spells.
At level 10 she can change her class to another branch of Magic User

>>350416
The phases are set and everything but Item must be done in the correct order. Using an item can be done at any time during a turn.

>>350422

I don't want to be that wiseass guy who corrects everyone about everything, but I think you mean she has 3 MP.

When it says archers can shoot '1-6 Sq + 1 per lvl', you mean '1-(6 + 1 per lvl), right? That would be rather inconvenient if the min range increased as well.

>>350429
>>350430

Corrections everywhere. Yes she has 3 MP and for archers let's say their level is 5 then their range is 2-6+5

I'm new at tactical rpgs this so please feel free to correct me if you see something is wrong

>>350431
As long as there's some interesting story or something. I'm still enjoying it at the moment, but I don't want it to be pure grind.

>>350439
I got plenty planned out but everyone wants to level up and stuff atm.

>>350441
They will ALWAYS want to do that if you let em.

But as long as people are happy. Whatever. :3

>>350441
I'm not sure range should increase on archers every level, unless you don't mind them being able to shoot anywhere on the map once they're above level 6 or so.

Right now, I suspect people want to go for at least enough gold to afford a kitchen. While it's interesting playing around with this battle system right now, you might eventually have to mostly gloss over the more routine battles to keep things from getting dull. Though right now enough characterization's happening to keep it interesting (like Ruby's rebellion, the consequences she suffered, and her eventual submission).

Archers gaining range as they level is okay, but you probably should put a max cap on that.

Also, sometimes you might have to spring things on us players to break us out of our "build up, build up" complacency. Just saying.

I don't know about other people, but I intend to get gold until the overlord can get multiple hit points.

By the way, considering how the stats are likely to change frequently, perhaps you could make a page on
http://tgchan.org/wiki
so you can update the stats. (For ease of updating, you could have the image just be the unchanging parts and have the changing parts be text.)

http://tgchan.org/wiki/Overlord_Stats

that'll be updated each time someone levels up. It's simple at the moment but I'll try to add stuff like equipment later.

Also I had this idea for helping out with level/gold grinding.
The Overlord can send out units to defeat some of the easier enemies. Like sending out Rose to fight in a Rank 1 area while they go and fight others. She gets to level up and gets 20 something Gold in the process.

what do you think?

>>350484
Reminds me of Dispatch missions in the FF Tactics series. Sounds good.

>>350484
I think I also agree with that idea, and it thematically fits for an Overlord to send out their minions to do their nefarious(?) bidding.

>>350484
Seems sensible enough. Say, a single minion can defeat areas 1/3 of their level automatically during the same amount of time that it takes the overlord to take an action, and they'll level up after their level in encounters? Then we could basically have minions auto-farm the very low level encounters and slowly level into more powerful minions, without basically putting everything on automatic and kicking back- we'd still have to deal with nontrivial encounters ourselves, or send larger groups of minions hunting.

>>350489
You can't gain to many levels from weak level monsters. After a while the minion won't get any XP for fighting levels ones, and then none from level twos. This is for farming gold so that way you don't need to fight everytime you want to buy a healing potion.

Also this was asked in the quest
>do units with a strong lawful/good alignment get a penalty to loyalty?

Answer: Yes.
For the most part. An Angel would have like -1,000 loyalty stars and most likely would never listen to overlord
Someone like a cleric might if manipulated the right way.
There's almost always a way to get your minions to obey the trick is just finding out that way.

By the way Larro. On the Overlord Stats wiki. It still says Ruby and Kassandra have 2 MP, which you said they have 3. Here >>350431

Also could the range of basic attacks for units such as Archers be added?

Updated the wiki with known units and some info about them and fixed the MP thing. If there's anything you think should be added just ask me or if it's a mistake I made feel free to edit it yourself

...so how much Disgaea have you been playing lately?

>>350589
None sadly.. I haven't played in quite a while since my ps2 broke.

do you have a psp or a ps3? they ported the original over to psp and Disgaea 3 and 4 are on the ps3.

I have neither a ps3 nor a psp. All I have is my ds ;-;

Also some other notes
Enslave can not be used unless Overlord is in the battle.
Buffs last the turn they are cast unless it is for defense in which case they end at the end of the opponents turn

so, equipment. who can equip what?

http://tgchan.org/wiki/Overlord_Stats

Added some Equipment and stuff

Ruby just gained a spell while hitting what should be level 3, but you said spells are gained a level 4. Experience wasn't noted when the gunner was killed, so did she gain a level there, or is this just an inconsistency?

in my mind I have it so they gain one every three levels so the number three just stuck. I've decided to instead just bump back the levels that spell casters gain spells.
This also helps out since they won't gain a spell the moment they can multiclass as well.

So, some questions on how things work. Spearmasters can attack up to two squares away. If there are two enemies in front of the Spearmaster, can they hit both of them at the same time?

The beastmaster seems to do more damage with claws. Are the claws a type of equipment, or do beastmasters just have claws? Does the whip have any advantage over claws? Maybe required for certain monster attacks, attacks farther away, or if the claws are built in, can potentially do more damage if a better one is bought? For taming, if she does this can the Overlord still enslave? Can she tame any monster defeated in battle, or just the last one like the Overlord? And since this is something it says she casts after the battle, does she have to be one of the units chosen to field? And when she tames, or when the Overlord enslaves, do we still get exp for the kill?

Actually, how does exp work at all?

Some of these I think I know the answers to, but clarification is always good.

>>350933
oh god so many questions. Lets take it from the top

Spear Masters can not attack two units in a row until a later level.

Claws are equipment beast tamers use. It double as armor against animal bites. The whip is another one of their weapons. It's main advantage is that it can hit someone two spaces away instead of just one for the claws.
She can tame a monster even if the Overlord Enslaves and it can be any monster defeated in that battle. The monster must be a lower level then the tamer however.

The tamer must be in the battle to use her ability like overlord must be in the battle to Enslave.

You still gain XP even if the enemy unit is enslaved.
Also I can not explain the XP system.

Phew. Hope that covers everything

Do tamed creatures level up/gain skills, and can they be resurrected if they die?

>>350953
My impression was that beasts would generally be used to fuel the Tamer's special attacks. At least that's probably the best use. And our regular units would be humanoids, we don't need beasts out there too.

>>350953
yes to all that. But honestly I wouldn't waste much time on Beast Units. The Hero and Demon units are far more powerful in many ways.

Also another thing, Boss fights need to be taken to get Special Units/Plot.
The Rank for these is usually the average for the area you're in

>>351091
which, this area having above tens as the norm the boss will MURDER us.

well if an area's rank is 10 then that means that the total level of the people you will fight against are 10. It could be a level 2 3 5, ten level 1s or a level 10

>>351094
That is insanely useful information. I was assuming that a level 10 area would contain units who would be around 10, with numbers not playing a part. So running into one level 10 unit would be lucky, a 9, 10, and 11 together unlucky. Or maybe even average.

Not really sure why I just assumed that, though I think the logic behind it was along the lines of the more enemy units present, the more allies we could bring in the fight, thus "evening it out" to the same level of threat. Though I'm not sure why I assumed that either.

>>351127
>So running into one level 10 unit would be lucky, a 9, 10, and 11 together unlucky

A 9, 10, and 11 together in one fight would mean a level 30 encounter.

What Larro's trying to say here is that a level 10 can be composed of:

10 level 1 enemies
3 level 2 and a single level 4
2 level 5 foes
1 level 7 and one level 3

and so on.

>>351130
Yeah, I understand how he explained it. Was just saying what I thought it was like before he did so. My assumption on how things work was way off.

Unfortunately, I get the feeling that much of the group would be against doing a boss fight unless we outclass it quite a bit, to avoid the permanent loss of characters that they've grown attached to.

People leveled up and stuff, new stats are over at http://tgchan.org/wiki/Overlord_Stats
Right now it's mostly just level up and HP increase.

I've been meaning to ask- why does Kassandra have four spells at level 4 when Ruby only has two? Is throwing fire just so much harder that Ruby doesn't get as many tricks, or what?

>>351888
That's because of Kassandra's class. Fluff wise she has the powers of god supporting her so healers are granted more powers. Game wise she has less branching options then a normal mage so she gets most of her spells early on and only a few when she multiclasses

Added Lenion's stats to the Wiki.
Notes: Constructs count as Beasts. Anything that is not a Hero, Greater Demon, or Angel can be tamed by a Tamer.
Constructs that are Heroes, Greater Demons, or Angels can not be tamed.

Subjugation takes out all Phrases for the Overlord.

Whips can attack diagonally at a range of 1 Space.

Claws have Dmg reduction 1/2 from Beast Attacks.

Ohey, I didn't realize that Wounded Overlord is Larro!

>PS2 broken
Did you try PCSX2?
You can get the latest build here http://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/
(which I recommend over using the latest beta which is highly outdated).

Anyways, people have counter argued that we are not yet ready to take any towns, and should wait until we rebuild our fortress.
The way I see it, taking a town provides taxes which means faster rebuilding. The ability to teleport means we can go anywhere in the world and focus on easily acquired towns.

on the wiki, ruby stats say:
>Fire (Spell) Range of 5-7 spaces dealing fire elemental damage with a 20 percent chance of burning the target for an additional 3 each round.

>>350422
>Fire which does an average of 12-15 damage for 1 MP
>When ruby was level 2

Did damage increase with her level or is it still 12-15? I am guessing MP cost remained at 1MP.

Are there "monster towns" and organizations of sentient monsters?
Reading the questdis it seems the intention was to have be demons fighting heroes... but conquest requires society. Which leads to the idea of fighting monsters rather then heroes, to avoid tarnishing our reputation. However if monsters had towns we could conquer those and treat "heroes" of humanity/elfdom/etc as random encounters.

Well if the plant girl is any indicator, then monster type creatures can be civilized so yes, there can be monster civilizations.

Face it MrTT, we are going to have to fight sentients sooner or later. The best we can do is treat the ones we capture well and be thankful the ones we don't will just head back to their home point naked, but fine.

>>352677
Look, I am not bleeding heart pacifist. Nor am I moralfagging. I am ASKING QUESTIONS so that I can best optimize our strategy of CONQUEST.

It isn't that I don't WANT to fight, its that I don't want to be gangbanged by angels/heroes.

Also, that cute plant woman would probably be offended if you called her a monster.
Also, a better question would be "what monsters are civilized and which aren't".

Well about "tarnishing our reputation" what you should realize is that a lot of the time we aren't killing people. When defeated in their own world heroes end up back in town in their underwear. Demons get the same deal on their turf. I'm not sure if monsters have a way out, but any "monster" that is intelligent and civilized probably wouldn't count as one anymore.

>Also, a better question would be "what monsters are civilized and which aren't".

Any monster can be a Hero, Angel, or Greater Demon.
Plant girl for example would be classified as a Hero because she is not beast like or mindless. If she were a normal monster she probably wouldn't be able to run a booth like that.

Now if you see another plant girl who mostly speaks by hissing at you then she's classed as a monster and would need to be tamed.

Beings can change classes any time. A hero can become an Angel or a Greater Demon. A Greater Demon can be a Hero. A monster can be a Angel. It's best judged for each thing you meet.

What is the difference between heroes, greater demons, and angels?

>>352687
Heroes are your basic run of the mill warriors. They go around and adventure for money, fame, women/men.
Angels do everything for the greater good. They are similar to Heroes but have a few unique traits that class them as Angels. Almost all Angels are Holy in nature.
Greater Demons are Demons who have grown past their base desires and instincts and establish their own personality. This is also used for any Hero, Beast, or Angel who becomes fallen

>>352690
>Greater Demons are Demons who have grown past their base desires and instincts and establish their own personality. This is also used for any Hero, Beast, or Angel who becomes fallen
This confuses me a bit. So a demon is a being who grew past their base desires to establish personality, OR a sentient being who became "fallen"?
The first seems to be a state of Zen and the second seem to be a descent into greed and evil. Speaking of which, what does fallen mean? Is it a curable taint? (because we apparently can use a corruption potion to make soemthing become fallen)

>>352694
Read.

A Greater Demon is a Demon who has grown a personality.

A human can become a Greater Demon by becoming 'fallen'.

>Greater Demons are Demons
I somehow misread that as
>Greater Demons and Demons

Alright then...
what does fallen mean? Is it a curable taint? (because we apparently can use a corruption potion to make soemthing become fallen)

>>352698
Depends?
People can switch all the time. It really just depends on the person in quest.
Fallen basically just means that whatever they once were they are now to evil to still be considered that rank. The Corruption Potion only makes Angels become fallen because Overlord is classed as a Greater Demon. If he were an Angel then anyone he used the potion on would be one to.

what if we become... A HERO!

>>352701

WHAT IF WE BECOME A BEAST

RRRAAAAAAWWWRRRRRRR

UNLEASH IT

>>352708
a beast is a non sentient creature. As sentients are options are greater demon, angel, and hero.
At the moment I am not inclined to try to change our status.

you know. you kinda set us up to fail in guardian. just had sandra end up hating eistia thought up since chapter start i bet. no idea why, wanted some discord in the party?

>>352741
It was a consequence of just outright killing Regulus. I thought I'd spread enough clues that Regulus had been to Sandra's land before

What were the clues? I hadn't been following the quest very closely to be honest.

>>352743
Honestly, I would rather have Regulus dead and Sandra hating Estia than Regulus alive and them friends.

Sandra being pissed over the death of her friend in the short term is understandable, but seriously, Regulus just slaughtered thousands- maybe tens of thousands- of people so that he could frighten a girl more effectively. The world is better off with him torn into many many tiny pieces, body and soul. If Sandra's too blind to that to understand that he deserved to die and get over her grudge, then that's just too damn bad.

Man, for overlord, does fear even affect loyalty? You figure that would involve a different system entirely because it's based on different emotions.

how exactly does the Corruption Potion work? does it leave the victim with some will? or does it turn them into a meat puppet?

>>352841
Our actions are determined by our minds. The corruption potions changes the mind in quite a few ways. It makes the person completely loyal to the person who gave it to them and wipes out any memories of their encounters with that person. The person usually tells the one who took the potion that they are their master and such and the mind, with no other links to that person and desperate to fill in the blank slate that is now there, accepts this. It makes the person think 'hey that makes sense, he is (whatever the person said)'
Anything else is still mostly kept. Skills, personality and such.

Why are people bringing up Mordre in this? He is a bad role model and was possible in the first place only because Bob loves making ridiculously powerful characters.

So, we can add parts to our overlord body. Are we going to eventually look like a patchwork monstrosity?

>>352973
In the short term, maybe; that seems the most practical route to quickly increasing personal prowess. In the longer term, hopefully we'll have the money to custom-build good parts for our body that will make it look cohesive and more like a person than a monster.

>Ask about race relationships.

>"I'm assuming you're talking about Greater Demons, Angels, and Heroes? Those are the main three and each have their own 'beef' with one another. Angels are, as I like to say, lawful stupid. They believe that the law must be upheld at all costs and that evil doers must be punished. They have no qualms about killing if it is for the Greater Good. They typically despise most demons but if one hasn't done anything especially heinous they will tolerate them. Greater demons are being of chaos. There are the Succubus, Mimics, Imps, Changelings, and a few other minor ones. Each of those use their powers to cause chaos in the overworld, the place where most Heroes reside. They don't hate angels really since they don't really mess with them. Heroes however are easy prey. The heroes are the balance of all things, they hate demons because they're constantly picked on by them and general superstition."

>"Now if you meant the relationship between different 'races' as in humans, catfolk, plantfolk and the like then that's a whole different story. Everyone has their own personal problems with people but as a whole most races get along just fine with other races. There might be some problems with, say, a merfolk being near a catfolk but that's about it."

>>353031
That would have been worth mentioning earlier. Don't bring up bodyparts of beings with unapproachable power power levels without mentioning that fact. Weakest and most common is the priority, got it?

>"This dude is like level 1000"

Then it's just a matter of time...

>>353033
Worst mistake WOTC made was stating the gods. Pretty soon you had builds capable of defeating them. Now that we know his level its only a matter of time and planning

Of course she is likely joking about the level 1000 and nobody actually knows his actual level.

>>353037
which is also why the lady of pain in sigil has no stats. you attack her and "she wins" 'but i!' "SHE WINS!"

Questions: Silva's Dance of love explodes any of silva's dolls. I assume this destroys the doll in the process? And if so is the doll recoverable/repairable/replacable?

Dolls with souls that explode and there are a lot of them... ladies and gentlemen, I give you the overlord version of the prinny.

These quests are the best quests.

>>353136
To keep it from being to OP the dolls used in the Dance of Love are completely destroyed with not chance of saving them or any parts of them.

>>353253
Nah, that's cool. It's still an option. Although we'd have to dedicate 3 placement slots for Silva and at least 1 doll.

Options are good! Besides dolls are expendable, if annoying to replace. Although of course we wouldn't want to lose Emily. :3

Speaking of dolls, do we have stats for the one that we have? Do we have methods for building more?

>>353299
I assumed Silva could build another, considering they're her dolls. We would just need money and possibly other materials we don't have.

Personally I am far too stingy to use attacks that cost resources.
I prefer getting multiple ranged minions to disposable melee ones.

Some questions:
1. Can Jump be used withot a targeted enemy in order to get over obstacles?

2. If one of Silva's halves (but not the other) is killed, do you need to spend a resurrection on her?

>>353630
No and only if the top half is killed. The top can still live without the bottom.

>>353633
So then we could heal her and the bottom would return?

>>353693
^^^ Me again, (even if my ID may or may not be different, it changes often)

I like all the characters in Overlord, but I'm concerned that we may have a bit of character overload. What do you think?

We keep seeing all these shiny characters, and some people can't help but recruit them. While this is cool and all, I personally like developing character's personalities as we go. In particular Alice is my favorite. I was in favor of not using the corruption potion on her, both for the challenge of learning more about her and getting her on our side, and for maintaining her personality (at least based on how I thought the potion worked at the time)

Anyway, I like how she has developed over time, and I hope to convince others to include her in fights a bit more. My point is, I like that kind of character development. What is Larro and everyone else's opinion on this and how Overlord is going so far?

Do tinkers (Styx and the other tinker at least) count as demons?

And do plaguespreaders?

>>354164
Demon is a race, while Tinker is a class and plaguespreader is a subclass, so it depends on the person. We told Nix would respawn if we didn't enslave her back in the Human World, so it's safe to say she isn't a demon, and Styx at the least implied she is a demon back in >>/questarch/329776. I've no idea on the other tinker, but I assume she is as well.

The evil tinker won't respawn if killed in our castle. Word of God. We kill her and she is out of our hair. Enslave would only result in us having to shove her back in the sealed room. We do not want to Enslave this crazy bitch.

Styx and Meagan count as demons but they aren't fighters so they can't go into battles.

Nix is immortal and will only die if disintegrated or burned to death. This will kill her permanently in the castle, but the Tinker just has blades so she'll be fine. Outside of the castle she'll respawn in a human town, which would result in an outbreak of plaguespreaders. Not good.

and what if we can't do enough damage to kill her before she kills us? she would then kill all the non-respawning people we have. so having them in battle only improves their odds of survival because they would let us deal more damage a turn.

I'm glad you guys are enjoying this tale so far.
There are always a few things I'm trying to fix up, running this quest is almost like programming a game. It's in beta so to speak so there's always mechanics being tweaked and such.

One thing people have brought up is units dying. Quite a few people dislike it. I think it's needed in order to enforce strategy and caution while others say it makes them 'too' cautious.
A few things I'm thinking of adding are either expensive rings that act as a Auto Revive or a means of bringing back a unit, like a revival ritual or something (also expensive).

Anyone else have any thoughts on unit death and revival?

>>354202
Here's a thought: giving up the ability to trap an enemy's soul in exchange for snatching up a fallen cohort instead.

I am kind of undecided on the death thing.
Some possibilities I can think of for not having perma-death are the option to rez party members for money proportional to their gold (possibly done via a mimic gold-consuming ability), or alternatively death could make you go down a level.

>>354204
We can do that already, we just re-enslave the ally after the fight.

I think.

>>354202
>Anyone else have any thoughts on unit death and revival?
The unit death and revival rules are already quite generous, in my opinion. As I understand it every unit we control will already basically auto-revive in one of the worlds due to the respawn mechanics; recovering them after they do so is mostly a matter of effort on our part either by locating and re-enslaving or by maintaining high Loyalty (presumably someone with multiple stars would make their way home after respawning). That's pretty damn good, because it means that ultimately we could just build up teams entirely out of natives to each given world and have them operate exclusively in regions where they're effectively immortal.

Aside from that, we've got a unit which can resurrect units right on the battlefield, and if there's both a huge respawn net catching literally everyone who dies anywhere and a unit that can do it as casually as a spell, it's likely that there are other methods we could research as giant evil overlord level projects to accomplish similar things as a simple matter of logic.

But until we get powerful enough to have dedicated teams for each type of plane, or to conduct extensive research on the matter... if we want to keep trying to conquer the world, we need to know that omelets often require broken eggs.

>>354213
Well, make sure you look at the Overlord stats page on the wiki. Solaris can only use the revive skill in her healer form (as far as we know). So even that is in short supply unless we get Kassandra to level 20.

As for my opinion of Revival/Death. I feel that, as a quest, death for our people should be a rare occasion. At least for any characters that we have made the emotional investment into. For example, I would be very upset if Alice died after all the work that went into getting her on our side and learning more about her. On the other hand, if Nix, Lenion, or Solaris died, I would be a little disappointed (as anyone would be for letting a unit die), but I would move on. Because we don't know much about them, or have that emotional attachment yet.

Basically, the more we know about a character, they should have more "plot armor". At least this is a good way to make sure players don't feel cheated. Characters with plot armor can still die, but it requires even more plot to kill them, if you understand what I mean.

>>354208
Good idea with that, I like it. How does 100G per level sound? with an additional x1.5 for unique boss units.

>>354251
So you have to beat up 10-15x the person's level of enemies in order to resurrect them?

That's steep, but not completely unreasonable. I approve of the change.

Meeting the evil tinker (who we didn't even find out the name of) felt like a waste of time and an insult to every suggester involved.

The 'battle' was just her jerking the chains of three of our units while the rest of them didn't even attack. Then after we blasted her and she was about to run off, I SUCCESSFULLY taunted her into getting back into the battle zone. Instead of immediately attacking she got restrained. But no, she managed to get out of THAT too without letting us do a damn thing. In effect she was restrained in order to keep her from rushing back into the battle zone, rather than to allow us to kill her. You took my successful plan and decided to sabotage the results instead of the plan itself. Did you change your fucking mind about her getting mad enough at Overlord's taunt to keep fighting? Getting grabbed temporarily calmed her down?

You took all power away from the suggesters and our PC and just had the villain walk all over us because it was an 'introduction' fight where we simply weren't supposed to win. If you wanted us to have no fucking chance to kill her then it should've just been a goddamn cutscene! You gave us the impression we had a chance then just yanked her away from us!

It was incredibly frustrating and I've lost faith in the quest because of that.

Oh and the last time we used Overlord Beam it instantly vaporized the target. What happened to its power?

Last time we used the beam, it was against a much weaker foe. Remember, that tinkerer was able to 1 hit KO some of our melee units and was also level 15. We were lucky that it did damage.

>>354258
Dude this quest is based on vidyas more than anything. Those scripted boss battles man, don't let them get to you. Besides playing that one straight would have been a disaster.

>>354258
yeah, she was using a weaker attack against our units. she was literally toying with us. if she wanted to i am sure she could of wiped us.

1854db, not all victories are going to be handed to us of a silver platter.
Besides it's a quest in video game physics. A recurring rival villain is obligatory.

>>354258
I'm fine with having a powerful foe out there with a bone to pick with us. It can make for good plot if done right.

The way I see it, is that the Tinkerer ran because, although she managed to get away from the restraints, she was still held. If the taunt at the girl didn't work, she would have been screwed.

We could've killed her unless she had some ridiculous special attacks. Which we never got to see because Overlord NEVER USED SCAN EVEN THOUGH WE SAID TO.

>>354287
He did use scan, but we didn't see most of her stats or her abilities, just hear level and health.

>>354288
That's the information we get automatically.

>>354290
1. It's a major plot-Boss. Have you never played a video game in which you can't check the Boss' stats?
2. Larro's the GM, what the GM says goes.

>>354307
What. Yes, as a matter of fact, most Final Fantasy games let you look at bosses stats with Scan.

Also I expect good reasoning behind the choices the GM makes no matter WHAT they do. They can do it, but I don't have to like it, and that is the main issue here! Overlord didn't even try to scan. What's the excuse for that?

>>354312
I believe that >>/quest/359092 was an attempted scan. As has been mentioned, it provided only minimal information.

>>354312
>What. Yes, as a matter of fact, most Final Fantasy games let you look at bosses stats with Scan.
Yes, the information is severely limited. You very rarely get a hint as to any weaknesses in the flavourtext, let alone have them stated outright. Often, you're lucky just to get the max HP, and only minibosses will display the current HP.

>>354318
Wrongo, most final fantasy games with Scan give you ALL DATA. Though in FF games it never showed special abilities for anything, even regular mobs.

Besides, we got complete data from bosses via Scan before in this quest. There's no excuse for this whatsoever.

>>354337
The other ones were more mini-bosses, as opposed to a recurring boss.

>>354337
>There's no excuse for this whatsoever
Plot.

I should've addressed this a bit sooner but yeah most of the boos fight was scripted. There was pretty much no way to win this one that I could think of. Not yet at least. I actually have very few people who truly hate overlord so much that they're willing to kill him. One of the main people was Silva who sadly was discovered and turned within the same chapter. That was kinda sad for me. The tale needs someone who's actually a challenge both in battle and out and the crazy tinker, who's name is Beatrice btw, seemed like a good choice.

Also the Scan told you everything it could. When you use scan on someone I do -not- list what their equipment does. Beatrice does not have any actual attacks herself, her class is Tinker. ALL of her attacks come from her tech. I literally gave you as much as I could without talking about her equipment.

>>354341
Oohhhh. Okay that does make sense.

Also that gives me an idea. If we find a way to disable technology she'd be a lot weaker...

>>354341
>Beatrice

I hope that's the reference I think it is. Either way, awesome.

>>354342
But, but, it would be so much cooler to fight her at her full strength (at some point in the future when plot says so)

I'm all for epic moments.

Oh yea, Larro, I have a question on how the revival rings work. When they die, do they revive instantly/one or more turns later/or after battle? Also, what HP are they at when they revive? Or are the above questions for us to find out :3

Well, we were bound to face a person out of our league eventually. You can't always win. Sometimes you have to lose so the victories seem sweeter.

Anyways, I don't see the people HATING us being the main worry, but rather, the people who LIKED us. Specifically, the old us. Chances are there are some fanatics who may have taken what old OL did and go a bit too far.

Besides, our castle was ransacked completely right? There's more than likely some punks running around with loot that belonged to us. Maybe some very.. erm... dangerous loot.

>>354368
>running around with loot that belonged to us
Or that was us. I'm sure our body included some of the most valuable weapons and armor and construct pieces available. I don't think all of them needed to be destroyed individually in the effort to destroy us.

Yeah. Now I am picturing some blond spikey haired emo git with our sword and other punks wearing our body like pieces of armor or using them like war trophies.

Somewhere, the previous overlord's head is mounted over a fire place and it's missing a eye.

if we do get our parts back i think we should change it into like a power armor over our current body that we can take off. is a lot easier to make people like you if you aren't a giant death machine.

>>354394
Mordre's answer was the best - I'm not a golem, really, I'm an old man in a floating castle miles and miles away! Really, I even have a maid and a cat!

>>354395

Nix is pretty cool. I had hoped for a toxin "control" as opposed to a cure.(a cure resulting in a boring vanilla swordmaster unit)

Does her poison still turn people into plague spreaders?

Also just throwing this out there but didn't the poison/acid/toxic whatever melt um pretty much everything and now we can use it as a sword coating? Shouldn't that require a slime-claw sword or something?

In all fairness, we need to keep the love and making of it out for now. We are the only guy here and the idea of us recreating the harem can only harm us. Especially since this can be considered a evil action. Treating them nice even though they are enslaved is one thing, but doing the do with them while enslaved will likely push it too far.

Besides, I can only see it causing trouble. Favoritism, jealousy, potential kidnapping of bed mates to try and make us obey their commands, in-fighting and even our troops harming or even killing each other over us are not worth getting jiggy with it.

Hell, I am half tempted we find a single gay hero and just bunk with HIM just so we can bite this problem in the butt... I wonder where Lugh went?

>>354855
what if one of them asks US?

>>354855
You're confusing your cultural norms with the setting's. As far as we're aware, there isn't some taboo against extra-marital sex, so having sex with minions could only be considered "evil" if they don't want to do it. Since a couple people brought up Megan in the quest thread, don't forget that she explicitly said she wouldn't have minded being in our harem.

The concerns about all of the in-fighting are just ridiculous. None of them have shown themselves to be type to do that kind of thing, and without any sex taboos attempting to limit it to marriage or the like, they'll simply treat it as part of the master/minion relationship and no special meaning will be attached to it unless we exclusively have sex with one person without being refused by all of the others.

Now, I'm opposed to it, simply because I don't see any need to bring that into the quest (yet, at least), but if the majority go that way I'll do my best to roll with it. For now let's just continue to get to know them and see about getting a male unit or two that aren't obnoxious so that any of the girls that are in the mood and don't feel like satisfying it by themselves have someone to go to.

I'm really not interested in turning this into a harem quest. I'll say that outright.

And in the future we should take a inventory of who wants to go out and fight. Actually, let's outright do a request box later on or something else to make it easier for them to make their desires known. Things like "I want a fight" or "We really could use this facility" or the like. Not all desires will necessarily be granted, but so far we've been pretty accommodating and this'd help us do that without quizzing every single minions individually.

>>354864
>Actually, let's outright do a request box later on or something else to make it easier for them to make their desires known.
I would rather have them just bring their desires to us directly. We've shown ourselves to be accommodating enough, and anything which makes our relationship with our minions more personal (as opposed to the impersonal nature of a request box) is likely to improve loyalty, or at least give us a better sense of what they're thinking.

>>354864
>>354866
It is a good idea for once we have a lot of minions though, since going around individually will take days.

I see the request box as more a way to draw our attention to something when our group goes huge. Simply give us a brief bit of info on the quest and we meet with them to discuss the offer. Still personal, but we don't need to speak to each and every soldier we have.

I like the request box because it means we can get information on things that need to get done in a single post, rather then several multi-post conversations. Helps with the quests pacing.

And I'm also not too keen on making this a harem quest.

I can understand the desire for a more personal approach than the request box. Simply making it known we can be approached would pretty much do most of what I'm thinking about.

But there're some good points about scaling with more minions. But then again, with that many minions we won't necessarily be able to fulfill every single request. However, if there's a common request like for example everyone wanting a certain facility for the castle, it'd be useful to know how many people want it.

I'm not really wedded to my request box idea. I just included it as an idea for what we could do. Other possible approaches would include having a time during which minions could get an audience, or appointing a representative to talk to them and give an overall idea of their moods and desires. A mix of approaches would probably serve best.

hey... would defeating their queen make her your mate and you the king? I bet the queen is crazy powerful though. Or there might be legalities to consider... but it is worth looking into

>>354967
That's why we need to install a penis.

a request box can have a sign saying "write down your request, or come for a personal audience"... Or maybe a signup sheet for scheduling daily appointments...

but both are really only something to do when we have a LOT of minions. as of yet there are few enough that it isn't an issue.

>>354967
Yea, the queen almost definitely is crazy powerful, at least compared to how we are now. Besides, I don't want to conquer them yet. It wouldn't make a bad place to take over (since it would be legal, by their "laws") once we get our basic situation under control.

I still want our goal to be world conquest, but we can take it slowly, and carefully.

Yeesh.. did you look at that half a star that girl had? No wonder Badass Overlord lost most of his minions if she was the one to talk to him.

Lord Emril:
Keeps order in Central Complex. He is a skilled Mind Esper and uses his abilities to help him prove criminals guilty. None are safe from his powers, he can find your darkest secrets in only a matter of seconds.

Some say he pushes guilty thoughts into otherwise innocent people's heads but this is just hearsay.

Some would describe her as the most chill one of the four. This may be due to the many.. Recreational plants she consumes on her free time. She is a skilled Elemental Esper and is responsible for the plantlife in Central Complex. Without her there would be no food in the place. Thanks to her though everything but meat is now plentiful and completely free in Central Complex.

Lady Adora:

Without her around the city wouldn't run at all. She believes everything should be built up to it's highest potential, whether it be the human body or the city. She and her group have made everything in the city from the streets to the shopping district. Those who work with her get massive discounts from stores but they are worked, sometimes to complete exhaustion. She loathes Kinesis Espers and will not tolerate people using Kinesis to build. Her power is Enhance.

Lord Lae:

A enigma surrounded by mystery. No one knows who Lord Lae is. When someone asks the other lords what he looks like they say 'He looks like a normal guy. Pretty unremarkable.' or in Emril's case 'Shut up and mind your own business.'
When asked what he does or how he's like the usual reply is 'Ask him yourself'.
When you go to meet him you will see that he is always no where to be found.

No one knows where the man is or what he does around the city. Those that live in his area are fairly well off. The place is almost eerily quiet compared to other areas.

let's never have anything to do with Emril ever.

>>355211

We'll be sure to work them in. I just wanted to try Solaris out, and allow Lenion some fun, and then Kass balanced the team out and potentially try out the demi-angel summon.

We not only have to balance the levels and items of our minions, but we must also balance the attention we give them so they remain happy. In Lenion's case, we need to make sure to include her in fights at least every once in a while to keep her happy. Emily can be satisfied as long as we talk to her, she's easy to please. Kassandra would be happy, so long as we treat her and others nicely. Alice on the other hand, would probably be satisfied being left alone, although I would like to include her in more fights. Nix, although we haven't spoken to her much, she is likely to be easy to satisfy as well, since she is happy just to be alive. Megan seems a bit neutral, since we just hired her, so not much to worry about there. Alalia just wants money, as far as we know, so nice little gifts, and giving her some responsibility might warm her up to us.

Ruby, Rose, Silva, and Solaris are a bit tougher cases. I'm not too sure exactly what they want, or how they tick.

Also, grr, we better not get attached to the slime queen, I was hoping to just use the slime as a potential sacrifice for Lenion's special attacks. But your character designs are too loveable. T.T

pretty sure rose is secretly in love with us. but unlike emily she is way too shy to admit it. her loyalty went up when we gave her a compliment.

>>355504
Bit more info on the Eiridi since people had some questions.
Mostly how do they eat. Yes most demons don't need food but the Eiridi are not true demons. If their oldest tales are to be believed they were created by the Demon of Pain after capturing a group of elves in battle. He had tortured them to the point where they wished for death but instead of killing them warped their bodies into what are now the Eiridi.

They have no face but instead speak with a small hole located on their lower neck. They can no longer see as people do but they use their sensitive tail to 'see' their surroundings.
They have no sense of taste or smell. In their torso is a small orb, similar to the one Silva has. Very similar to the one she has. When hungry they push whatever is edible into the orb. Whatever magic is used to store their vital organs also connects the orb to their stomachs.

Their feet can grip just as well as their hands. A kick from a Eiridi can be quite devastating.

pictured is a typical adult female Eiridi.

>>355516
>Very similar to the one she has.

HMMMMMMM. Throwing out a wild guess here- Silva was an attempt to resurrect a dead Eiridi, using that orb and a flesh golem as the base. Or perhaps Silva is one of the original Eiridi, and only descendants are faceless and have connected bodies like that.

>>355521
My personal guess: the Demon of Pain had a hand in producing Silva. There's a certain similarity in that stomach thing, but considerable differentiation in other details, far too many for her to be derived directly from the Eiridi (or them from her).

Or otherwise she somehow acquired that orb. Or maybe the orb's something known to certain demons. I also considered the possibility of Silva being the Demon of Pain, but it doesn't seem likely due to her focus being more on destruction than pain.

The Original Overlord was with Silva for a very long time, and his/our origins aren't very clear. We were told however that our Overlord Beam is powered by the suffering of others. I think Overlord was the original Demon of Pain and something happened to him.

Hmmmm... that adds to it, that much is sure but let's try a bigger scenario:

The way I see it, the Lord of Pain did what he did and likely made Over lord as a weapon. I mean, he is a golem and golems tend to be designed for combat of some sort. When you torture things constantly, having a beam made from suffering helps in case of invasions. Both as the invadee and the invader.We also noticed golems gaining personalities in the case with Over lord v2.

The way the scenario plays out: Over Lord is used for a period of time and gains true sentience. Because of all the pain and suffering, Badass Overlord had more than enough energy to destroy the Lord of Pain, then takes Silva and the third party member with him. Probably how Badass became the Overlord in the first place really.

except i am sure destroying a demon of a deadly sin would be something everyone knows about.
silva could be a prototype, and after seeing that the organs can be replaced the demon of pain made the Eiridi.

and we don't know if our beam is powered by suffering. could be conjecture on her part, it could be powered by anger, love, fear. the first time we used it was when we thought emily died, and it was an instant 1 hit ko move so there was no suffering invovled.

it may be powered by our suffering

i find rust monster awfully cute...if we fiugth them as overlord we better enslave one

>>355599
I get the sense that it is a really bad idea to keep one around as a pet.

why? they can rust enemy weapon and armors,and the giga iis extremely powerful

i'll do a fanart of the rust monste, yeah, i'm insane lol

Welp, seems we may just have an interesting secondary property with the sword part of us. Remember how those lines appeared and WH started to get a bit... feisty?

Yeah... I think we may have a bit of a blood lust side effect or something that amplifies a person's thoughts. Considering the sword's history, that makes sense.

so is our fault she was that bloodlusted?mmm

Think it's less us and more like an innate property. I mean, we are pretty cool guys. We lead people and doesn't afraid of anything. However, problem with most legendary or legacy weapons, our past most likely painted us quite a bit... well, in the passive department at least.

Kind of like the Muramasa blades or other famous killing weapons. When your kill count reaches high enough to fill a city, you tend to pick up stuff for better or worse.

AND considering we used to belong to the Badass Overlord, who kicked enough ass to have armies face him one on one, we should be lucky it's something small like this. I'm kind of worried what would happen if a hero gets us. Even fluffy is not as crazy as some of the ones we have seen.

for us I mean the sword, sorry

sorry if we annoyed you with the rust monster, it's probably my fault...but you are really good at drawing cute creature!

candy.

>>356508
Sounds about right.

So, some random speculation. We know the overlord is a golem, but we don't know who made them. We had an incredibly powerful tinker locked up in the castle. Any bets on the odds that the tinker is the overlord's creator?

I wouldn't put it past that Tinker to try and mold the fabric of reality to her will, but the journal sounded far too loving and motherly to be hers. Then again, your 'son' locking you up in a magic room for several years would probably piss someone off. Especially if they were already unstable before.
