Yell "I DARE ANY OF YOU TO STOP ME."

Stomp out the front gate.

Nice distraction, but you're on a time limit. Flee!

>>119699
Don't forget an intimidating smile to shake their nerves.

>>119711
Don't dare, just GO.

But first, a glance to see what become of the paladins. I assume the worst but lets at least try and confirm it.

Only remove the nedynvoir if it becomes a hindrance. Nothing intimidates more than dragging a dead foe along with you. And most likely, they would be recognizable, since they chose him to fight you.

"Whos next?!"

Start jerking your head around as if looking for someone to attack, pick someone between you and the door. Point to them and say "You." They will be stunned with fear and everyone else around them will run away. Then dash out the fucking gate.

Creepy smile, walk out the door calmly. Hopefully they'll be busy shitting their pants and will not try to stop you.

I release my arm from the ring and get up to lift Footsies' limp body and toss him at the ring. Intimidated by his blade-like feet the ring breaks up.

In the distance I hear creaking and grinding.
The gate is going down.

Too much overconfidence
Not enough fleeing

Get moving now or you are going to be stuck in the yard when the gate closes.

>>119724
And I'm too late to make a difference.

Okay, leg it!

>>119723
RUN DAMMIT

>>119723
Run!
Run, you motherfucker, run!

>>119723
GTFO, we don't have time for autographs!

>>119723
You are too hardcore to make a mad dash, strut like a badass to the gate.

Rings broken?
STEP OVER HIS BODY AND RUN!

>>119723
MOVE!

START SPRINTING.

But help arrives from an unexpected source.

Sticks!?

Now GRAB STICKS AND GET OUTTA DODGE.

NOW HURRY UP AND GET THE FUCK OUT OF THERE!

DID WE TELL YOU TO STOP?

PICK HER UP AND RUN!

Pick her up and run for it.

YOU CAN THANK HER LATER, COLLECT HER AND GO!

>>119745
"I HOPE YOU REALIZE I STILL DON'T LOVE YOU"
no don't say that ridder what is wrong with you that is like the worst thing you could say you're just a bad person get out of there and bring sticks with you unless you think she belongs in jail just because she did a little pickpocketing wow you are a fucking prick ridder telling her you don't love her again and throwing her in jail with a bunch of deadly hardened criminals what the fuck is wrong with you goddamn

Shout "Let's go!" and then get the fuck out of dodge. I'm sure she can run faster than you can carry her. She's the rogue, after all! But, then again, she's got some stubby legs.

I grab her without a word and run to the gate.
I pass a number of convicts rushing to get inside, perhaps because they think one of theirs is closing the gate.
We reach the other side just as it grinds shut.

It looks like the paladins held their own succesfully.

>>119761
Hold sticks under one arm, look around calmly, then announce:

"...where is my helmet."

That's an... interesting way to carry Sticks. Ask if everybody is okay, then thank Sticks.

>>119761
Spike Sticks
Do an endzone victory dance

wait... that's probably a bad idea

>>119762

LU BU HAS LOST HIS HELMET.

...LU BU ANGRY! LU BU SMASH!

I think its important to introduce Sticks to these Paladins before they impale her with her swords... just in case.

Oh god she's pregnant
Ridder, you have a great responsibility now. You're going to have a nice family with someone. Are you happy?
Oh, I'm so glad for you Ridder-chan!
<3

>>119762

>>119773

"I can't believe you made it!"
The paladin cries out as she approaches us. I put Sticks down and pause to catch my breath.
"Is everyone okay?"
"Yes- Well, that iron ball hit Manhammer pretty hard. He would've been a goner if we hadn't reserved our healing power. Apart from that, just a few scratches and bruises. Right?"
The other paladins nod in agreement.
"That's good to hear. And Sticks.. Thank you, Sticks."
"Heh~ When T'lear told me you went to Sepia Town I knew you were in trouble~"

"Sticks, are you...

Are you pregnant?"

>>119776

DAAAAAAYUM girl you got FAT

Accidentally fall on Sticks in all your exhaustion and pierce her jumpsuit with your conical steel hard erection so that it juicily slurps into her sweaty vagina.

>>119776
Damn sticks is gettin' kind chubb- wait where is Iegsip.
Find out where Iegsip is.

Damn, Sticks is pretty agile for A fatcat!

>>119776
Start to ask about her apparent... condition, but don't discuss it further until you two have some privacy.

>>119776
uhmm... well this is awkward... I suppose...

>>119782
also.. did Iesgip make it out/down?

>>119782
This first. Pregnancy tests later.

>>119776
Better get something done with your hand and any other injuries you've racked up. Did Iesgip bring anything for injuries? Maybe some herbs to increase bloodflow or something, like that potion from the Fangs, to make up for all that blood you lost. Take off some of your armor, the fighting's over and you could use some less weight and heat on you.

STICKS! You're BACK! :D
Where's the kobold? >.>;;

>>119776
Don't embarrass Sticks in front of everyone. Go and make sure Iesgip gets down safely.

Look for Iegsip. Talking to her about her fatness will be done later, by us, via ring.

Manhammer, eh, sounds like a bad penis joke.

I suppose we do owe Sticks some kind of apology for being so.. "blunt" perhaps?

>>119776
Be sure to pick up your helmet. I'm pretty sure it's on this side of the gate.

It looks to me like Sticks has simply gained some weight.. but then, I have very little knowledge of actual pregnancies.
I better be subtle.

"Sticks.. Have you returned to tell me something?"
"Yep. I've been thinking a lot.. You know, I was pretty damn angry at you and your stupid ideals.. but you know what? I love you and your stupid stupid ideals, you bastard. And you know what else? I'll make you fall in love with me for real! None of that shortcut stuff. I'll make sure your heart knows no one but me!"
"H-hey! I.. M-me too!"

"Ha! Are you sure you're up for this, Iesgip?"
"Y-yes. I.. I love sir Ridder too."
"Then we shall we be rivals in love! May the best girl get the boy."

>>119805
>>119804

Ridder facepalm self.

>>119806
Facepalm Sticks and Iesgip

Sigh a big sigh an walk off into the sunset.

>>119805
uhmmm. oh wow... I told you Ridder.

>>118796
Ohhh boy.
You just can't catch a break when it comes to love, can you?
Just hope that their rivalry remains friendly.

>>119805
Man, you may have sworn off love, but goddamn if it isn't as determined to get you than ever before.

>>119805
"Now ladies, no need to fight, I don't want to fuck either flatty manhands or fatty hamhands."

I thought you were supposed to get the girl AFTER defeating the great evil, or just before the last fight, and here you already had one and now have that one and another trying to seduce you...

I have a feeling this may result in a polyamorous relationship.

>>119805
This will likely become problematic in the future, but in the meanwhile, there's nothing to do about it.

Dammit, I wanted PetalxRidder to be OTP... if the relationships were all that important to me.

I mean who the hell are we going to get Petal with?

Facepalm with your left hand. Ask the Pallies if there's anything else you can do for them and will someone please patch up my hand before I bleed to death goddamn.

People?
We have bigger problems than our sex life.

Hey Ridder.

Kittens.

>>119819
Grek.

Anyways, this relationship talk can be done later, in private. We've probably still got work to do, peasants to spear, you know.

>>119825
Maybe that bug guy...but elves and gobbos' live long so Petal is probably in no hurry to hook up?

Ask Iesgip if she brought any herbs or bandages and some water that could be used to cleanse and bandage your hand. Only say it really happily with your mouth wide open.

>>119829
This without the mouth opening part.

this is just like one of my Japanese animes

Ask for some healing. They seem content to play their little game and you have bigger concerns right now. If anything it just means they'll be more loyal, attentive, and responsive to your plans. Nothing wrong with them wanting to prove themselves.

>>119805
"I'm not a prize."

Tell them to bugger off, Ridder. One of them is an overly manly/subservient kobold, and one of them is an overly horny catfolk ("Also, he feels a hand on his leg").

Just go after Petal. I mean, damn.

>>119805
Steady now, old bean. Just because these two have sworn to make you their own doesn't mean you have to give in to their advances.

Time to remind sticks how much iesgip looks like a boy.

>>119838
Petal? truly I doubt it...

anyhow... as long as they keep it civil and don't let it interfere with work this could be quite.. "interesting" no?

Might want to tell them to not take things too far. It's not like you can prevent them from trying, but it shouldn't cause trouble to anybody.

I can't help but crack a dim smile at their most sincere efforts and feelings. Eventhough I do not agree to become some sort of prize it fills me with happiness to see that they are willing to compete yet remain friendly with eachother.
These two girls are so kind. I wish their hearts will never be broken again.

I place my hand on their handshake, easily cupping both of their hands.

"I accept your challenge, as long as it brings you happiness. At the first sign of pain caused by it I will call it off."
"Alright, alright, though it's not like you have any say in it~"

We remain like that for a moment...

...when we suddenly feel a fourth hand joining us.
The paladin stands there in awkward silence, until she finally explains her decision.

"I know I won't stand much of a chance, but.. you don't find guys like this anywhere."
"Well I can't fault you for your taste~"

..Perhaps it is not as simple as I thought it would be.

>>119851
paladin pls go

Goddamnit Ridder.

>>119851
...

OKAY, TIME OUT HERE RIDDER.

Something is seriously amiss here. You're having women falling for you right and left. Now, I'm not saying you're ugly, but you're not exactly the most handsome man in the universe. This is crazy.

I'm suspecting an outside influence. Possibly magical in origin. Maybe those rings do more than just allow transfer of thoughts? Maybe they have a subtle imbuement to boost the sexual attraction that one normally puts out?

>>119851
I tooolllld yoooouu ahahahahah...

>>119851
Wow. Muschio's right. Girls DO fall for you left and right.

>>119857
She didn't fall for his looks.

Or maybe she's a furry who wanted an excuse.

>>119855
no

>>119863
Paladin x Petal?

>>119857
I beg to differ on "you're not exactly the most handsome man in the universe."
