I don't know, I was pointed towards here. Also, as said before, those I bite become quite tough and go berserk. Based on what this mission is about it may come to be quite useful.

Well, I'd like some clarification about how Demons work in this universe. What can I and can't I do? Can I shapeshift/change the form that people see me as? Directly manipulate people's emotions?
And what stats would Demon-things use? Magic?

point out the flower to the portly fellow and follow him if he starts moving toward camp.

if he doesnt start moving toward camp, do so myself.

Clearly running multiple missions at the same time is a terrible idea.  The epic battle to see which team can cock it up worse has escalated again.

And Larry kinda gets blueballed in all this; just left with a raging bone spear and no where to put it.

They attack all things around them, a venom, has to be put into blood. It may be useful if put onto a weapon.

Reggie requests a sword a hand mirror and picture's of what the people who are accepted look like.
Well Guys should I try and like... Shapeshift into something more fitting the party or something?
You get a gladius, a small copper square for a mirror, and teh officer points to each of the party members. "that's what they look like."

Continue to hide among the corpse and machine guy.
So, uhh fighting then? Where may I get some equipment? Something I can use to hack and slash with. Maybe  a bow. I would prefer a sword though, something I can use in conjunction with my gloves...Hmm my final decision will be a punching dagger or hand sword and some leather armor.
Please read the briefing at the bottom of last turn. ... you get your punching dagger and leather armor. it is a tunic, some leggings, and a pair of sturdy, but used, boots.

"Requesting all known live-modeled portraiture of the attendees.

Requesting more copies of myself."

"Portraiture? not likely. ask your guide to identify who it can for you, and memorize. use your farseeing to learn mroe. It's what yuo were built for. as for copies ... denied. Good luck."

"Query: This one would would like to ask if you have more info on the internal strife within the mercenary ranks. Also, advice from a veteran like you on what approach you would take. Just curious."

ASk above. Inquite if any of the mentioned armour are more effective than my outer plating, in which case, get some of that. Also, you missed my previous actions, reposting: use computing to see what I need to cast clockwork magic. Also computing to see if these feng shui additions actually do anything for me.
Your plating will likely be your best armor for now. As for needed items: nothing. though a mechanical object like an astrolabe or a wind up toy or music box would help as a focus. The feng shui additions rebalance your iron leg with your other body parts and are part of what makes your clockwork magic effective. It's a holistic thing. they do not add special traits like levitation or shielding or something. ((sorry I missed that. I meant to say something about it.))

"Do we deal with them lethally, non-lethally, or on a case-by-case basis?"
Prepare to leave.
"Yes."

Well, I'd like some clarification about how Demons work in this universe. What can I and can't I do? Can I shapeshift/change the form that people see me as? Directly manipulate people's emotions?
And what stats would Demon-things use? Magic?

lets' see. you already commented that you are genrder fluid, so you can change appearance, but you will not fool people looking at you in direct light asto whether you are a physical being or not. You can take the appearance of any humanoid race, but retain a certain set of features, so no disguising as a specific person - you would need a skill specialization for that or for looking like animals. Direct manipulation of emotion would require either direct contact and a will contest, or line of sight and a focused use of magic - requiring you to be still and drop any other action. You have no specializations, so your magic is "wild" meaning it is unpredictable and not easily directed. Your magic works in line with your personality though, so you won't be making flowers appear - bees, maybe. You might rot food, cause noises as of pursuit, battle, pain, or seduction to appear and follow someone, or you might make a person appear more hostile, threatening, or weak than they are. You can pass through walls and become mostly invisible, but there will always be a shadow and a faint appearance. I think these line up with your character concept of minor demon seeking emotional conflict and chaos in the human world. anything beyond what I mentioned, ask specifically or just try it out and see.

point out the flower to the portly fellow and follow him if he starts moving toward camp.

if he doesnt start moving toward camp, do so myself.

"Ah yes, the whomping willow creeper bush. Best to stay away from them. Oh, is this your stop? heading out on mission, eh? I just got back from one and could use a little rest and relaxation. and dancing girls. cna never have too many dancing girls, ahahahahahahahahah. Indeed." You arrive at the cafeteria cum mission hub and are directed toward the combat team. feel free to reject that and take spaz and Terrance on the escort mission instead if you want.

didn't get an answer to the above question last turn, so reposting it. Ask it to the one issueing the mission.

Then ask for something mechanical that could serve as a focus for my magic as equipment. preferably something smallish. If I get that I think I'm good to go.

If Zoltan Elfberg and U_P's character want to do the escort mission, head to wherever I need to for that. Otherwise, volunteer for the combat mission.

Regardless, requisition a small ranged weapon (perhaps a blowgun?), and either a spyglass or some binoculars.

Well, Comrade's race and the soulgem thing that jack had to jump into to sign up allude to possession. My guess is that would have to be a specialization?

Jack will ask if there are any items that would help focus wild magic.

snag a belted leather loincloth with a nice satchel to store things in, and maybe some sort of non-weapon sorcery focus.
Preferably a mineral based focus rather than a talisman or symbol.

after that im ready to join ye olde murderquest.

((I know I have been posting a lot of quick turns today. I hope no one is feelling lost with all this. Since most of it is roleplay, testing powers, getting information, and getting ready for missions, I figured why not? if you are having trouble following ,let me know.))

I'm gonna practice my shapeshifting before we go.
Shapeshift into Aylia to the best of my ability's if clothes are proving difficult to change just be naked
(1) You keep getting long arms, or short torso, or missing the eyes. you make a humanoid form, but never quite get something that is identifiable as an elf.

"Query: This one would would like to ask if you have more info on the internal strife within the mercenary ranks. Also, advice from a veteran like you on what approach you would take. Just curious."

Dag nab it. sorry again, and thank you for your patience.
"We don't have anything directly. I am just telling you what we've experienced before with this type. My advice? Hmmm. It depends on the circumstances and the particular band. the goblins are not exactly a large enough tribe to muster a war band, which would be my first option. I think i'd probably go with infiltration and sabotage. make it cost more than they will be paid. Picking off scouting parties could be effective in a terror campaign. of course, you could always strike at the heart of the issue - find the people paying the mercs and pressure them to drop the cause. That would work best, if you can buy the time to do it. You know what they say about plans and contact with the enemy, though, right?"

There are a variety of smallish things you could use. be more specific, as the particular type of thing will affect the castings in particular ways.

((I did I was just being arbitrary))
put on armore and gloves, do a few test swings with my dagger and ready to go.
suited, stabbing, and set.

If Zoltan Elfberg and U_P's character want to do the escort mission, head to wherever I need to for that. Otherwise, volunteer for the combat mission.

Regardless, requisition a small ranged weapon (perhaps a blowgun?), and either a spyglass or some binoculars.

blowgun acquired. poison darts of a variety of effects also acquired. You already have a glass for farseeing. It was your Christmas present.

Dar'yajira will request that his collar is removed.  Ostensibly because it makes observing without being observed more difficult.
"Would you prefer he Brand to spread to your fur and skin, little one?"

Well, Comrade's race and the soulgem thing that jack had to jump into to sign up allude to possession. My guess is that would have to be a specialization?

Jack will ask if there are any items that would help focus wild magic.

Possession is possible, but pretty darn tricky without a specialization. It would require a will confrontation or the victim to be prepared in some way before hand. And at your current ability, would be a constant struggle. It'd be like a wrestler trying to get another wrestler to hit himself in the head repeatedly. I mean, small children you could do without much problem, and could probably steer a drunk pretty well ... But a wizard or a hardened fighter? not so much. ((I am trying to neither give yo utoo much or too little here. Possession is a powerful skill, but you are kinda minmaxed toward manipulation so ... I don't know how this will go yet.))

"We can send a couple of gems, say, three, with certain properties. they will have to be carried by one of your teammates, and be activated by them for you, since you are incorporeal and all. What, specifically, do you want each gem to be attuned toward?"
