Legend of the Hunter: Chapter 4 - [S] Fight. Talk. Don't die.

Guys, we can't do the crossdressing bit until Seb has to infiltrate the lair of a lecherous pimp. It's like you don't even know how this works.

Seb is not a spikey haired blond emo. Commence with the crossdressing.

Legend of the Hunter - 155

>Eye Demon: If you're going to be sneaky about it, get a disguise first. It's a well known fact Nemeans hate sneaky spy eyes. A huge bristly mustache made of cat hair will work pretty well.

The EYEBALL DEMON will make this a tactical espionage action worthy of the most OBEDIENT OBSERVATION OCULUS!

Eye: Actually be a great spy.

And as everybody knows, even a lowly demon, you need to be PROPERLY MOUSTACH'D to pull that off. Disguising itself that way will ensure no Nemean will pick up the eyeball demon's scent! Not to mention giving it DANGEROUS QUANTITIES OF MANLINESS.

That stare alone could save the president, baby.



Super sneaky demonic observation information gathering mission GO!
There's a couple of weird characters around. The demon is a bit removed from the Steamdragon that it rode in on. Hopefully that will satisfy its master!

Good. We got some serviceable disguises.
We can fool those soldiers stationed on the train, no problem.
This is all for your safety, Esmeralda... I hope you realize that.
Those fanatical Drakenguards would rather kill you than have me help you!

>Unnamed Howitzer Priest: Be next to Sebastian. Fail to recognize him.

Ooooooh maaaaaaaaan...
I shouldn't have drunk so much... There's a war in my head.
Right between the brain part that makes you puke,
and the one that causes spontanous head explosions.
I do not care. Go away.
Aaron's gonna kill meeeee... How do you Nemeans sober up???
Heard being punched helps.

>Mr. Sebastian: Be explaining to Esmerelda why you're not disguising yourself with the disguise she's proposing. Be in the unfortunate situation where you have to be polite about it to try and avoid alienating her.

...okay, stop. I see what you're trying to do here, Esmeralda.
I'm NOT putting on the frilly Nemean dress.
We talked about appropriate and INAPPROPRIATE crossdressing, remember?

...what in the nine hells...?
Is that...
Is that the girl possessed by the demon?
And that's one of the brothers...
Hm. They reached the Steamdragon already. Lady Naum must be there.
Which means... When the Storm Engine reaches them...
Hmmmmmmm.



But a superior camouflage does have DISADVANTAGES, sometimes.

Eye: Die.

Hey, what happened to the picture?!
Was that... was that Gwydian?!
Goddammit, don't just show me static!
Get back to ogling, coward!

Gwydian: Accidentally squash eye demon through drunken hijinks

Heeeeeeeyyyyooooowwwwaaaaaaaa guys
guess whos druuuuuuuuunk
You useless goddamn fuck, Gwiddy, keep it down!
No no wait bro killjoy I can top that
guess whos
guess whos followed by a horde of angry nemeans cheated out of one hell of a bar tab
COMO'N GUESS BWAHAHA



That's some news...
The brothers right next to Lady Naum.
This should be interesting.
Oh... could it... could it be...?
By the Dark Creator's Sharpened Blade! I recognize that face!
The Exile is still alive?!



Jeeves.
You know that Gwydian. You. A demon.
Explain.
Seriously.
Right fucking now.

Jeeves: Explain, if you don't you might die.

[Mibbs]

demon: dont explain anything

[Professor zobot]

Jeeves: BS him. "Oh, he's the subject of many epic demon ballads, all of which I can sing for you..."

Beowulf: Suddenly stip caring as a means of preventing him from singing again.

[Dragon Fogel]

>"Oh, um, never mind, I was clearly mistaken."

[Dreamscythes231]

Jeeves: Sing the information,but with more feeling and hatred that it would move Beowulf to a feeling of shock,fill your singing with so much passion,it will almost(most obviously gonna happen.) burn several objects in the room.also be in tune with

THIS SONGbe actually a better performance than your previous song.

[Professor zobot]

..ok, that link led me to a website called "notoneofus.com". What the fring is that, Dreamscythe?

[Chaos Waltz]

Jeeves> Be more scared of what will happen to you if you talk than you are of Beowulf.

[Dreamscythes231]

LOL,Gog,if I was drinking milk,it would come out of my nose of how funny I thought that was Zobot.Anyway fixed it,sorry for the thing.hope you don't think i am a crazy cultist saying you are not allowed to hear the music because you are "Not One Of Us."

Sorry again.

[Wessolf27]

Jeeves: Explain, if you don't you might die.

This one.

[Professor zobot]

>Sebastian: Fortunately, unlike a certain worthless <Censored for Content> YOU actually planned ahead. Give Gwydian the disguise you and Esmerelda picked out for him, watch angry mob of inebriated Nemeans pass you by and board the Steam Ship in leisure, disguised as a simple backwards Farm-gentleman.

>Gwydian: Not be content with your disguise as Sebastian's crazy mixed-up no-good city-nephew at all, but have to live with it. The alternative is getting eaten. By cat-people.

>Esmerelda: Excitedly explore the Steam-Ship! After being cooped up inside your own body for so long you're walking horizons again! And it's all... due... to the lunatics who almost killed you... ok, admittedly that realization does take a bit of the edge off.

[That Didn't Stop]

>Jackal: Find out who's on that train. Realize what this means.

[suomynonAyletamitlU]

> Jeeves: "Explain" but don't explain.

[Zolen]

>Gwydian use the head on top of the wigmaster shop as a disguise

[Dreamscythes231]

Gwydian: Put beer on head,say it is a disguise.
Gwydian's disguise: Be effective.

[Dreamscythes231]

Gwydian: Put beer on head,say it is a disguise.

Howie: Fine. Fuck it. Your head couldn't feel worse. Politely ask this nice Nemean to punch the crap out of you. Well, punch the hangover out of you, more like.

Jeeves: Explain, if you don't you might die.

Jeeves is hesitant to expand on his sudden outburst, but he knows that nothing will stop his master's inquisitiveness!

Jeeves: BS him. "Oh, he's the subject of many epic demon ballads, all of which I can sing for you...

Except for a song, perhaps.

The truth, I shall SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII-
Hold it right there.
I swear, anything out of your mouth I might interpret as horrendous singing,
and I'll accelerate your brain through the back of your head.
See? See what you did?
You made us so angry we dropped the royal 'We' just now!
No bullshit, Jeeves!
Oh dear. I would never harbour any machinations of that nature, Sir.
So, t-to... put my misdirection-free avowal into melody-free speech...
To it, Jeeves.

> Jeeves: "Explain" but don't explain.

That 'Gwydian' you spoke of waaaaas... a human thief.
He stole something that was very precious to the four Demon Lords.
They say he entered the depths of the nine hells, braved all its dangers,
and returned with the treasure entrusted to the Lords,
without anyone noticing!
I don't know anything else, I'm just a lowly demon, Sir.
Then why did you call him 'Exile'?
To be an exile, he should've been allowed among your kind before that, shouldn't he?
And I find it hard to believe he nicked himself some Demon Lord treasure just like that.
I mean, what, are those Lords retarded?
Uuuuh... I didn't give him that title, Sir.
And I shall not make any assumptions about what my former masters were or are.
I only know that all demons with intelligence were ordered to find him,
and... bring him back to the nine hells.



You are stunned by that sudden revelation.

Even if Jeeves is a lying scumbag of a butler, WHICH HE IS, he definitely recognized Gwydian. He's important to the Demon Lords, IN SOME WAY. And it's obvious he must've stolen something from the demons - where else did he get those nasty demon claws from?

Yeah... Gwydian's pissed off the Lords themselves...
And now he's travelling with a guy who can kill powerful demons in one hit.
Of course! What better protection could there be?
That fuckin' coward is hiding with his loot!
What did he steal? Could it... could it be another Ultimate Weapon?!
No... I can do more... I can do BETTER...

I can offer that fucker to the Demon Lords.
I can MAKE. THEM. LISTEN.
The EYE. The HAND. The POISON. The MAW. All of the Lords!
They'll have no choice but to meet my demands, if they ever want Gwydian and his loot back!

You... you want to force the Lords to negotiate with you?!
Yes. YES.
This'll be it, Jeeves. THAT will be a deed truly worthy of a ruler.
Until now, I've only relied on the Ultimate Weapon.
But to be the first mortal, negotiating with the Demon Lords on equal ground?
Hahaha! Yes! YES! I like that thought!
Who will dare calling me a dirty little runt, then? Would you, Naum? WOULD YOU?!
GLORIOUS! Who wants to be king when he can be so much more?!
I feel one hell of a laugh comin' on, Jeeves...

...AHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!
MWAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!
AAAAAHAHAHAHAAAHAAAAAAAA!



But enough of that.

You are now SEBASTIAN, THE KNIGHT-ERRANT. Once again, there's a whole lot ESCAPING YOUR ATTENTION.

For example, that a Howitzer priest accompanying Aaron on the Steamdragon is nearby. Or that two WANNABE MASTERMINDS have both independent from each other decided to kidnap part of your team, so that they can negotiate with someone much more powerful. You caused a giant STORM OF POLITICS, and the only reason you don't notice is because you're RIGHT IN ITS CENTER.

On the other hand, you've got awesome disguises ready. SO THERE'S THAT.

>Gwydian use the head on top of the wigmaster shop as a disguise

Ah crap, it's raining
Good thing I've got an awesome disguise to keep my head dry, right?
Nice try, Gwiddy.
But Esmeralda already picked a disguise for you.
You wouldn't want to make her lose trust in us, would you?

[Mibbs]

Gwydian: Someone else is messing with spoiler space nearby

[Chaos Waltz]

The Eye has only ever appeared in spoiler space. I'm guessing that, either Gwyddi used spoiler to get to the Eye and steal from him, or the Eye moved into spoiler space after Gwyddi used it to get past them all, and they won't be tricked that way twice.

The Demon overestimated the power of SpoilerSpace, but we may be underestimating it. Also, does this mean that the Eye can read what Gwyddi writes to us in spoiler space? Can he see Hat Lady (who isn't hiding anywhere near well enough) as she scampers through?

Or do all these powers begin with the Eye?

Gwyddi> What does spoiler space look like when you write to us in there? Also, is your control over it in any way connected with the amount of alcohol you've drank that day?

[Professor zobot]

...oh Frig.

Theres a lot of specworthy stuff here.. but that can wait!

For now...

>Gwydian: ...well, it IS the last thing anyone would expect a manly dude like you to wear. Get Esme to combine the dress with your Nemean Sign-Face. Wear the ANCENSTRAL NEMEAN WARRIOR-WOMANS GARB.

[Malrone]

>Gwydian: ...well, it IS the last thing anyone would expect a manly dude like you to wear. Get Esme to combine the dress with your Nemean Sign-Face. Wear the ANCENSTRAL NEMEAN WARRIOR-WOMANS GARB.

Yes.

[Zolen]

>Hat Lady: be Totally convinced by Gwydians awesome disguise.
