Goodbye, form of Rage.
We never met you, but I hear you're pretty cool!

So, Uttermost and True Maiming won. Really, all 4 picks (and 3 picks Inheritor) were fine with me, so I have no complaints.
Not being able to mitigate Tyrant won't really have that much on an effect on us in this quest I think (we could only mitigate it so much anyway in just one world, and I don't think the quest will proceed to the next one..), but it certainly says interesting things about Hunger's future as a cursebearer. At least until he get a chance to remove that limitation as well.. if he cares for it by then.
In the meantime we can mitigate the other three, which are worse most of the time.
Truly a dangerous fight. We'll have to be careful and avoid similar ones again.. Apocryphal will bring a few like this to us anyway in time, so it's not like we NEED to search for more troubles!
We're, what, 100 times stronger than when we first came to this world? 200? 1000?
And it hasn't been even a month!
Quickly deal with the nuisances... hopefully we can heal the spiritual wound soon enough. We're still not that far away from Ruling Ring, maybe that one would be enough, given time? And of course there's always a chance of us getting a NEW reward that can help, before the temple run is over...
Letrizia will always be our little kick-ass baby daughter!
She sounds so happy about that, you'd never guess WE are supposed to be HER bodyguards
LETRIZIA! I thought we raised you better than that!
This is Gisena's fault, I just know it!
Never mind me then, move along!
FEAR THE AWESOME POWER OF A NOT-BROKEN SWORD!
When did you become so nice AND generous?
ah, this really has the potential to become a nice little family.
The Tyrant, the waifu and the daughteru.
We really need to work on extending Letrizia's lifespan at some point. It's not really urgent, as our powers are constantly growing anyway, but I'll be damned if we let her die young (and stay dead)!
well, with us THIS strong the Encampment is not really as dangerous as before, and we do need our rest.
Also we can FINALLY get some information.
No, I'm not going for the fishing! Who do you take me for?!
(psst, sign me up for the fishing contest!)
..what is this? I don't think Hunger knows the meaning of these words! Is this the language of the Foremost?
Until they get translated in Hunter-speak, we'll probably need to ignore them.
Admittedly the Encampment doesn't have THAT much to offer to us right now, at least not compared to the past. Maybe a few magical items synergistic with our abilities, or a few bits of info.. but I doubt many adventurers have gone further than us in the Temple, so the chance of TRULY good information is really low, especially with the Fairbright now dead.
Ah, and the Amiable Brutes as well. I honestly didn't even notice they were killed the first time I went through the update.
You know, honestly this is probably better than the encampment, and I'd enjoy some downtime. On the other hand Apocryphal IS about to run out..
We know all of these already. Personally I think this is a decent chance of taking the ring dominion, and making some small progress towards Ruling Ring.
Augment Dominion Blood is also tempting, as it makes both our healing and Gisena's buffs a bit more effective. Iridescence could maybe patch up our lowered protection a bit, though I'm not sure I'd take it now.
interesting, but I think I'd wait for now. too expensive.
In the end I think I'd take either one of the ring dominions (blood included), or maybe Fierce Quickening to take advantage of our now fully restored blade.

Again, this rate of growth is ABSURD.

Wake up Hunger, we didn't take the Affliction of Slumber!

..ah. You meant the Forebear's sword.
Never mind me then, move along!
FEAR THE AWESOME POWER OF A NOT-BROKEN SWORD!
..fair enough. We'll either have to take that regrow arm pick, or strenghten the blood ring more to accelerate and strenghten its reality-warping/healing abilities. The first one is probably the easiest one, and it gives us access to the stances too!
Why Hunger, that nearly sounds like a compliment!

The guy beats high school kids for their lunch money, encourages gambling to his charge (a teenager, no less), his idea of stealth is to kill everyone, his idea of negotiation is to exsanguinate old people while trapping their arm in his abdominal muscles, steals food from his other party members (ate Gisena's soup while she was asleep), offloads work to Gisena while he is studying his blade and finally HE.DID.NOT.FISTBUMP.AOBARU!
H: Fine, I will do it myself

"I know the Republic's pretty bad," Aobaru said. "We've all heard the stories, and the way their kill-teams act goes to show it's not all hyperbole. They are willing to do just about anything to bring more mages under their control, even if they can only use most of 'em in the Voyaging Realm. But if we immediately teleport away and Adorie just rolls over and lets them investigate all they want, would they really just start snatching Nilfellian magi left and right? Letrizia's got to be a higher priority, right?"
"You don't get it," Letrizia declared, shaking her head. "You've only seen the holovids and Versch's crippled form, so you don't really understand how fast an Armament can be. A fully-powered Armament is quick enough to easily capture or kill millions of mages while also going door-to-door to search for me. The laws of physics are nothing more than a suggestion to it! Even one hour would cause untold damage to Nilfel, let alone the 'several' it'll take for them to confirm my location has changed."
Letrizia exhaled loudly, eyes shining. "I've seen the after-action reports from past wars. The Republic are total scum who will massacre entire colonies at the drop of a hat. If Nilfel opens the gates, there's no way they won't take full advantage. They don't see Voyaging Realm societies as anything but lucre to be exploited!"
"Hmph." Hunger grunted. Letrizia was biased, but he couldn't afford to disregard her entirely. It was unlikely, almost farcical, that the Republic would be so unreasonable... yet this deep into the Realm, were they actually to commit such atrocities, there was no power in reach able to bear witness, much less hold them to account.
No one save himself.

Time to see what price we have to pay this time. Hope its not too steep.

This is a dangerous time to be a member of Page Gang, though I admit I am also a bit hyped as well.
As a card-carrying member of this group, even so, I will post. Page Gang ooh!

on the assumption that the Apoc only moved the timetable, we'll have to bank on [universal scale conceptual protec] being enough to compensate for [loss of time in RoE with questionable mastery over local amenities].
