Yeah, I suppose distracting the karver is the best bet, she’s probably the greatest threat.

I slide in, and dodge a swipe from ugly tooth guy and jump over hairy short guy. This thing is all soft and fleshy but it's like it senses when I'm about to swing cause it hardens a moment before I-

THWACK!

Hair guy comes at me with his shoudler. I swing-too late!

"Son of a-ow! You're going to topple us you idiot! Get off! Off!"

I stab him in the back to try and stop him, but the momentum has been applied, I fall into the girl, she loses her footing!

Loquui is Loquui. The fearless and flexible Consort dodges the blows of the nonpeople and scores a great blow against the Out-Clan woman. Loquui rushes to aid the consort! As his first, Loquui is destined for greatness and deals a terrible blow to the shelled one holding Muamta! Loquui's large, fatter, less graceful sister-by-clan falls to the floor. Loquui is victorious!

Her clan-mates also help.

But-treachery! The small furry things! The foodbeast attacks the Consort as his back is turned! He skewers the treacherous little meat-lump and ends its life as one should. But the greedy Out-Clan woman has snatched away the Consort! She falls and takes the greatest male the Mother Goddess graced the world with her! You must help!

But the ugly ghost-skin with Gormoamhi teeth blocks you. Naqzamti tried to fight the other bug-skin, and had failed miserably to defeat the puny ghost-skin with Gormoamhi teeth. How did the skilled hunter lose to the unarmed pest? Probably because she was weak, without ambushes, she cannot fight at all.

"Ach-ka, Ach-ka, Ach-ka...kel rokpaglak Dul Kera gakra. Jeh ulkel rokfekspem vaksim. Gormoamhi, rokdangamane."

It speaks the hideous ghostskin tongue that sounds like music from the Consort, but like buzzing parasite flies from others. Loquui does not know what it means, but she is certain it is an insult.

>Bite his head off!
>Rip his arms out and beat him with those wasted twigs!
>Bravely let Shokzali demonstrate how to kill an upstart ghostskin
>Boldly help Muamta up and push her to the ghostskin and help her get well deserved revenge

Revive anyone who's downed and then go for the douche's legs!

is there any risk of a bug ripping out of him, or him doing some kind of sorcery with his head intact? if not, tear off his arms so we can capture him alive. if there is a risk of harm, kill him immediately.

it's more important to keep Muamta out of harm's way until she's able to put up a fair fight, so removing the threat is the immediate concern. once she's safe, we can see about helping Iagn or the others

Loquui bravely and boldy pulls her bulkier, clumsier sister away from the dangerous ghostskin. She is heavy, but she helps you push her overweight body away from the threat. She rubs the last of the tuglavu on Naqzamti's wounds. She better be grateful!

Muamta takes her justified revenge against the bug skin that stole her away from her gluttonous nap. Shokzali now duels the other bug skin, her clumsy but skilled spearwork keeps the threat of the bug-things away from Loquui. Loquui cracks her knuckles and snarls at the ghostskin that talks his stinky butt-language!

The ghostskin is trembling in fear! Wait, now the ghostskin is taking its coat off. Perhaps it is a sign of surrender, preparing to throw his belongings to a Pile!

The ghostskin is not surrendering. Loquui is brave, but slightly less confident in her abilities to fight this thing. Those arms look much harder to rip out of their sockets.

>It seems strategy is needed
>>Go for the face and rip out its tongue and its teeth!
>>Sand in the eyes and bite out its throat while blinded!
>>Something else. Loquui is not a tactician!

Well he still has eyes, so yeah throwing sand in them sounds good.

... would it be possible to blind him with sand and then disable him? as in, either break all four of his limbs, or rip them out if needed? try to make a snap judgement, if it's not possible, just kill him

Rocks and sand are hurled and the big ugly monster ghost-skin. Loquii's aim is true, and the beast is blinded! Loquui rushes under its swinging claws to bury hers in its weak joints-what?

The joints are hard as stone! How? Loquii is understandably confused that such a perfect strategy had failed. She stabs again, throwing the might of her Mother Goddess born strength. The ghostskin's flesh does not yield like it should! How can this be? No creature, not even foodbeasts, can withstand the might of the Mother Goddess' chosen children-FIRE!

Loquii's face is fire. The ghostskin's clumsy and blind swings land a lucky blow and cut into her face! Tragedy! How will Yahn accept Loquui with such an ugly scar now?
>The thing's claws can cut your skin with ease. This is a stronger prey than you have faced before

"LOQUUI!"

Providence! Loquui's sisters come to her aid! But were they not fighting the bug-things?

The bloody limbs of the bug things show that Loquui's sisters have dispatched them, as Gormoamhi should. Just further proof of Loquui's endless generosity to leave the easier enemies to her sisters

"Loquui, when we finish killing this thing, I am going to slap you until you learn how to block!" Shokzali growls at Loquui. Loquui is still feeling generous to her lesser but equally valued sisters and lets them lead by example.

>The hunting group is reunited

i have a sneaking suspicion Yahn will find the scar to be badass, or at the very least, appreciate that you earned it fighting an enemy of his.

uhhh, we've either gotta find a weakspot or throw him off the edge. or both. maybe we should rip off that cloak and try to tear off his genitals? if the others are strong enough, they could hold his arms while another tries to gouge out his eyes?

Unfortunately Loquui is too low in status-I mean-too intelligent for her sisters to understand her brilliant tactics, and they swarm the pale-beast again. But now they use the bug stabbers as weapons! And the weapons are piercing its hide.

"Agh! Jzu-fotena-ktala!"

The pale-beast thrashes around and tries to throw off Naqzamti, but the huntress is much stronger when she has her prey from behind. He grabs the claw that pierced his hand and tried to hurl Shokzali away, but Shokzali's grip is also true, and refuses to release. Muamta stabs at the beast's leg and Loquui-

"Hourgh!"

Loquui is knocked aside, and she bravely allows her sisters to take the glory. Again.

They fight and they struggle, the pale-beast tries to claw at Loquui's sisters, but they are killing it! Yes! They-oh. The beast falls off the ledge, and her sisters follow. Loquui has a startling realization that this ledge is incredibly unsafe and it was amazing her clan did not have many accidents when they ruled this place.

But at least they keep stabbing and pummeling the beast on the way down! Their sacrifice will be honored when Loquui returns with tales of their bravery to the Consort. Of course Loquui will be the bravest, but they too earned their place in Loquui's glorious tale.

Once she finds the Consort.

She is alone.

Loquui resolves to only play with herself as a last resort. She has the Consort now, and compared to him, everything is worse. She is most certain the Consort is alive. She can feel it. They share a special bond. Just a bond she doesn't fully understand yet. Her sisters? Well they might be fine too. But if they so happen to die and leave Loquui alone as the only woman for the Consort why, that would be so...unfortunate.

Just need to find him. Loquui cleverly deduces that going down along the cliffside is a bad idea. Too many unfortunate accidents today. She loops back into the tunnels and-oh! Loquui's sisters have ensured the bug-thing is VERY dead. But to be sure, Loquui gives it an experimental poke. Then another. Loquui remembers the Rule of Threes, and gives the body one final poke before coming to the conclusion, the thing is indeed very dead.

Loquui is a master of traveling the caverns and tunnels. She only gets lost twice before she manages to find a shaft that her clan uses to dump refuse into the cave river. Well, no it doesn't dump their nightsoil into the river, nonpeople have to shovel it into the river, but point being it is a safer route down; and for having not been used for some time, and the smell is mostly gone.

Loquii demonstrates great control over her senses by not gagging on the stench as she traverses down. She slides back into the settlement that her clan once called home. Before the metal giant woke up and killed so many. Now it is full of the short hairy things her clan chased out once before. But more than that, it's full of nonpeople! They stink of the ghostskins and the bug-things she and her sisters had so valiantly vanquished. So far none have noticed her, they seem more focused on moving boxes of things from one place to another. Typical nonpeople work. But wait...something is off.

Loquui's powerful sense of smell cuts though the shit and the grime, cuts through the smell of the hair ballsacks and the ghostskins. She smells the Consort! Was Yahn here? No...no. The smell. It's coming from that Dah-een. He has the scent of Yahn on him. But why?

Loquui is not jealous. Just curious why a worthless little dah-een would carry the scent of the Consort. That's curiosity, that's all...

>Gently abduct the dah-een and force all his secrets out by CHOKING HIS WORTHLESS NECK-no, just ask and lightly choke him if he is not cooperative.
>SMASH THE DAH-EEN WITH A BIG ROCK-no, no no no. Just throw one rock. Small rock. Small-ish rock. Get his attention and talk. Then kill him-no, no killing.
>Stop thinking with the loins for one moment and just follow the strange dah-een. And rip out his throat-stop that!

>>1117085
You need to talk to the suspicious dah-een without anyone else seeing you do so. I can't tell which of these options would do that, so uh, do whatever works for that.

Probably one of the Consort's nonpeople.
Grab him and threaten to drag him through the stinky tunnel you used if he doesn't answer your questions.

abduct him without being seen so we can interrogate him

Is... is that a female? Strange, they look male to you...
Well, your consort has his servants. So, what do you usually do to servants?

Loquui waits patiently for the dah-een to separate from the rest of the nonpeople. Loquui normally avoids the nonpeople as they are not part of her daily tasks. Their instruction and discipline are left to the mistresses. But she does know a thing or two about getting information based on what Shokzali did. But then again, Shokzali used the same method to train her students. And Loquui.

With grace and skill, she reaches out and grabs the dah-een, pulling it into a place of quiet without anyone noticing. And so she begins the instruction as Shokzali did.

"You! Little!" Loquui always thought learning the nonpeople trade language was a stupid thing. And while Loquui is a master of all things, and is correct that their way of speaking is stupid, it is helpful this one time.

"Little you! Talk now us! Talk me Yahn! Or go stinkpit we..." Loquui's flawless grasp of the nonpeople language has stunned the little dah-een into obedience.

No! Not obedience! Nonpeople spirits splash across Loquui's face! Burning, and sweet, this is not how nonpeople trade, that much Loquui is sure about.

"Arse lickin' bint-hole!" Loquui has underestimated how nonperson languages can be different. This one seems to speak a different dialect she had not trained for. "Ya pickin' scrappa' wit da wrong clan!"

Loquui fights with the dah-een. She is stronger, she is bigger, but he is faster. Every blow she lands, he seems to turn with and spins around to counter! Those small dah-een hit harder than she remembers. But then again, she never saw one fight. Perhaps that was what Shokzali meant when she said to strike fast with the-it is getting harder to think. All the wine clouding Loquui's sense of smell is now clouded by a lack of air as the dah-een loops his belt around her throat!

"Iagn's mine ya skull-rottin' whore! Give 'im back!"

>Calmly explain that there may be common cause.

Loquui is struck by a flash of brilliance. Or maybe it is a hallucination from the choking. But this dah-een likely was seduced by the Consort! Of course! Why wouldn't he? Yahn is the consort, or course nonpeople would fall to his knees in adoration and worship. Even the admittedly powerful ones like the one throttling the air out of Loquui. She just needs to convince the dah-een of fish potato dirt slime.

Running out of air. Last resort. "Haaaahn! Yes~"

"...wat?"

His grip is loosening! With one last gasp, Loquui effortlessly throws the dah-een off her back! Air, returning to lungs, brain clearing. Danger, still present!

"You want Yahn? I want Yahn. I not take."

"Lyin' whore!" he grunts as he pushes himself back up. The dah-een is doing that anger-state the elder mistresses warned her about. Like a young girl in the throes of frenzy, they will only listen with a correct application of violence.

Loquui showing remarkable intelligence, grabs the dazed dah-een and throws him against the rock face. Not gently this time, hard. He yelps in pain. Perhaps now he will listen-owa that's a big knife. Loquui grabs his throat and bends her claws ready to rip it out if he moves. A standoff.

"Yer kind always take, ye don't talk. Even if ye kill me, I'm makin' the world better killin' one more of ya rats 'fore I do!"

His words are so hard to understand, but Loquui is sure she can make out the nonperson's atrocious dialect. "No, you, Yahn. Consort. Me, Yahn. Consort."

"Wot? Ye...ye want Iagn that way?"

"Yahn! Danger. Bad Ghostskins, want hurt. Find must!"

"Master, your arm is missing. You must rest while the surgeons re-attach-"

"That can wait!" he growls back at Yakubi. "There are intruders in the city. Unbound Gormoamhi. Hostile Rezan-clan. Must find. Destroy. Where are your warriors!?"

"Combing the catacombs, they found a ship in the waterway. Derelict and run aground. We managed to push it back to the water and docked it-"

"Don't care. Find the intruders!"

Yakubi. She was one of the more popular girls from Loquui's litter of whelplings. Always pleased the misstresses with how fast she learned, how strong she was, how stunning and beautiful she was compared to the other litter-mates. Oh Loquui hated her. She wisely does not laugh at Yakubi now, scraping and worshipping the feet of some monster ghostskin instead of paying homage to the Consort. Poor, stupid, lost Yakubi...

"Aw fek they found out boat..."

The dah-een by Loquui's side is whispering to himself, maybe he thinks because no one has ears as big as him they can't hear. But Loquui hears. And can barely keep up with all the trade speak, what the fuck is everyone saying?!

>Resist urge to throw the dah-een at the ghost skin and ask what that boat is

Follow Yakubi.

Bring the dah-een and follow Yakubi but do not try to interrogate her. We need to know where they're going, but we need to do our best to make sure they don't that we know. Once you've gotten some intel, bring the dah-een back with you to Iagn.
