Result:
"Oh put them in the armor first" calls Sir Thorns "I know I needed a change of pants after my knighting!"
There's general chuckling from the crowd
"Mrs S if you wouldn't mind showing them to somewhere they can get changed" the Lady asks her.
"Certainly me
Lady, this way big un" she grasps your arm and steers you off to a small room just off the main hall.
Inside there's a chair and a table with some garments on it, a jacket, pants, and a vest
They seem to be some sort of black leather, you're sure you've seen them somewhere before
Mrs S puts a jar of some chalky powder on the table.
"Rub this on your legs before you put those pants on, they can get a bit tight after a while, this will make taking them off again easier"
You look at her in confusion
"What in the hells is happening to me now?" you ask
plaintively.
"Simple enough, you nearly caused an apocalypse today so we have to take measures to ensure that doesn't happen again. The Lady decided that making you a knight would let us keep a weather eye on you while you're about your business. Be easier to kill you but no one
listens to little old me" she says with a dramatic sniffle.
You sincerely doubt anyone could avoid hearing Mrs S if she wanted them too.
"So I can leave?" you ask hopefully
"Oh yes as soon as we've given you your knightly acoutry.....acatery...stuff we'll be insisting you leave"
You dutifully rub the powder on your legs, its really soft.
"So what is a knight errant any way" you ask as you pull on the pants, they really are tight and thick too. Yet not as heavy as you'd expect
"It's a knight that gets sent on errants of course" she replies with a grin
You reach for the vest, it seems to have some sort of plating inside it
"I can't wear metal armor" you say to her in alarm, turning down this gift could cause all sorts of problems.
"Plates aren't metal" she says with a hint of pride "They're woven spider silk, tougher than that
'orrible ol' Iron any day. we ain't exactly fond of metal around here you know"
You put it on and find it to be fairly light despite the plating,
"So I have to do errands now? you ask grabbing the jacket
"No an errant, he didn't say errantS did 'e?"
"No" you admit, you're tiring
fey word games
"Hang on you need something over that vest chummer"
"Huh?"
"Chummer, 'nother word for pal. 'ere put this on" she pulls a button-less short sleeved shirt out of a small satchel on her belt and throw it to you.
On what you assume is the front, is a picture of a human
being hit with a club and the words "Fuck Da Polis" emblazoned over it.
You pull it on over the vest, it feels right.
"Now no one can spot the second layer of armor" Mrs S says with a smile "Lets see what else.."
You put on the jacket as rummages in the satchel and find you can't
close it.
There's no buttons, just rows of coppery bars and some sort of tag at the bottom of them.
Mrs S pulls a large belt with a rams head buckle out of her satchel
"Yeah this will do" she says, more to herself than you.
She sees you trying to figure out the jacket
"Oh yes
Sorry I forgot you wouldn't have seen one of those before"
She comes over and hands you the belt as she grabs the bottom of the open sides of the jacket
"See this long bit slots in there, make sure it's down nice and tight then pull this bit up, tis called a zip because it zips
right up" she pulls the metal tag up and the jacket is closed!
"Must be some Dwarf magic" you think to yourself.
"Now put that belt on" she instructs you "this my gift to you, wayward and all as you are you'l likely need it.
Once you have it looped and secure she tells you to
grab the horns of the belt buckle.
When you do you're surprised to feel some give in them
"Now pull the horns out till you feel a click then pull up"
You do as your told and the horns detach, small vicious looking blades at the end of them.
Handy indeed!
She makes you do i a few
times until you can do it quickly.
"Right almost done" she pulls a satchel that matches her own out, I'll put your gear away, you put this on and let them have a look at you outside.
She throws an odd helm to you it has a clear visor made of something more durable than glass.
It's fur lined inside but a bit to tight for your liking.
Mrs S opens the door and you go out to a waiting crowd, there are whistles and jeers but all in a friendly tone.
Then Sir Thorns comes forward with some battered, moody looking guards
"Want to test that armor?" he asks

Notion:
Sentient moving castle that spends it time going to ruins and investigating what happened to the castle that used to be there.
Then exacting justice magical castle style. (?)
Naturally adopts a rag tag band of adventurers along the way, thinks of them as naughty kittens.
"Damn it Alexander how many times! Don't bring your dead things inside"
"Sowwy Mrs Castle"
"You can keep your dead in the cemetery like all the other squishies"
"But..."
"No necromancy indoors young man!"
I have decided it's a Mammy castle and anything that's not also made of
rocks is a "Squishie"
No one is allowed inside two of the towers as she uses them like hands or feet.
Oh!

Siege towers rumble towards a castle as ballistae and catapults smash rocks against it's walls.

"Mr Perceval, Come here!" Akembi calls.
He waits.
Nothing happens.
He waits some more.
He only hears the quiet movements of Squad 2 moving into firing positions and Chen tutting under his breath.
He decides he should:

Akembi shrugs and after checking Squad 2 and Chen were in formation behind him he decides. to go with his original plan and marches into the Spirits territory.
The pact is broken.
The spirit:

The spirit chooses to manifest in front of Akembi, it has returned to it's faceless maintenance worker form.
"Hold!" Akembi shouts to Squad 2 before they open fire "Spirit! I have learned your name and place you under my command, do you understand me..."

"We'd best make sure she's not hurt either, any idea where to find her?"
"Think she was heading back to the Bus" one of the crowd say.
"Okay we'll go check, could you guys move the other vehicles so the ambulance has a clear run to here, the less we have to move him the better"
Chen says.
Some of the people move off to do that, a car tears out of mansions yard as the sirens grow ever closer.
"Natalie could you move our jeeps please there's an ambulance on it's way for the injured civilian" Akembi asks over the radio.
She comes out of the building, waves
and goes straight to the vehicles.
Akembi and Chen head over to the Cast Bus.
They see the Gaffer blocking the door as a frantic looking Hazel tries to get past him, there are two men sat on the ground holding bloody cloths to their noses.
"Well, well, well, what have we got 'ere

Halloween Game:
First a quick recap: You're a guardian spirit charged to keep the portal between worlds of the living, dead and damned below a long ruined mansion, sealed.
You wake whenever the barrier between worlds weakens (usually Halloween) and return to rest a few days later
You must become corporeal to interact with physical objects.
You have chosen to take the form of a maintenance worker when you need to do that.
You have learned that a paranormal investigation TV show is coming to film at your mansion, due to sightings of you over the years.
You've opted to try and sabotage the gear of the crew so they can't record anything.
You do have some time to wait until they get here.
While you are waiting you:

The Santa Trap.
#cyoa #Xmas #Christmas
Sofia, the evil, as she referred to herself, thought out her plan to catch Santa Claus and ransom him for more gifts. The fire place had been replaced with a stove, No way he'd come through there.
Maybe
The Santa Trap.
Sofia's mother was very much against open windows in the middle of winter, she'd never heard any stories of him coming through the toilet and if he did, there definitely would have been stories!
Has to be the letter box!
Now do I set a trap:
The Santan Trap
Sofia's was working out Santas route from the letterbox
to the tree when her scheming was rudely interrupted by her parents, giving her hot chocolate, cuddles and causally mentioning getting her hot water bottle ready.
A scheme to get her to go to bed early!

Satlick: Centaur Detective #7
Note
I'm giving up on the story in picture format, it's a pain in the ass for me and elongates the whole process.
So it's back to extra long threads for now.
I'll use @threadreaderapp at the end for those who find it a bit much.
Now where were we...
"I dislike small talk Commander as well you know, the Darwinists, while a problem, are not our current problem" Saltlick replied in a professorial tone "Honestly I don't know how you people get anything done!"
"You people?" the other three people said at once, leaping at a golden
opportunity to flummox the centaur.
"Are you a speciest now Saltlick?" asked the commander* *Like a racist except for other species rather than other people of the same biological class, seen as terrible character flaw and indicator of stupidity by most people in the city.**
