I kind of think we might want to get a handy haversack, because it is more inconspicuous than having lots of weapons on our person while also being much more convenient than keeping weapons in our stomach. I don't think we would need to implant it, just make sure the bag is fairly strong and attached to our belt with a strong enough cord to not be stolen by a random pickpocket.

I guess the cat thing works if cat-people are not unheard of. It probably works to our advantage for absconding, as we will be remembered as a person with cat ears, a description we can stop fitting if we need to by removing the ears.

The entire point of the bladders and musles would be disguise, so if they just make us look disfigured it's an obvious no.

aright I'm going to post some pictures of stock portraits of pretty girls. So You can decide which Kind of pretty you want to look like. And I want you all to know That with this post My loathing for the human race Has increased just a little bit more.

Also what body type do you want. RIght now I'm working on the assumption that you're average all around but I'm willing to retcon that for any kind of description.

On the vein of Upgrades, It looks like you'll try to buy A wand of charm person and a handyhaversack. I'll roll to see if you can get an aditional discount for being pretty. Or if that fail threatening. If you both rolls you won't be able to but the handy haversack.

The upgrades so far are Hearing enhancing ears, Balance enhancing tail, And a set of vampire fangs in your stomach so you can feed of those you eat. So you'll be double Eating them?  This game is so wierd at times.
And then there are those lung pockets, for hiding your arms. And you want to implant that wand right? not just hold it like normal? It'll use ten Power per use, And the haversack will reduce your maximum Power points by ten. SO your max amout of power points will be 80.
So thats three enhancements, You can probably fit in two more.

I find it unlikely the society in game have the same beauty ideals as ours, and in either case I don't have any particular taste. I just want us to have a bonus to charisma based rolls. For all I know that might mean being morbidly obese and scarred to signal being able to afford food and protect. Probably not thou.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

Mostly I want to be able to  actually give a description of the characters. It's one of the areas I'm not great at and i'd like the practice.
Also I edited my last post with more stuff

[Armok]

For some reason, I didn't look up what a handyhaversack was untill now. That should obviously be the highest priority now that I know about it.

I say we are risk averse. It's better to be sure to get the items than to get them at a slight discount but with the risk of not getting them at any price we can afford.

All the upgrades sound good! However, now that I know we're getting belly of the whale I have one more to add: some way to keep someone alive and unconscious indefinitely in our stomach without having to do stuff like swallow air, feeding and oxygenating them using power points instead. I suggest a cow placenta since we can probably get one for cheap that's otherwise just have been thrown away or eaten from some cow that's just given birth. Keeping them unconscious could just be the same kind of poison we already have.

Perhaps the most important use of this is that it'll let us get rid of Dothki indefinitely, yet reversibly and without losing the Necromancers Bond. We can even rationalize it as "keeping him safe".

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

I think belly of the whale will render those fangs useless, Since you can't drain their blood if they're in an different dimension.. And you probably shoud't implant the handy haversack in your mighty Belly 'cos it's more useful if you retrive stuff in a hurry. Also if you implant it in your gut you wont be able to put a bag of holding or a bag of devouring in there.

[Armok]

As I understood it it is just a bag of holding the shape of a backpack with an extra enchantment to help find things.

And yes, it's still usefull. More so even, since we CAN rummage around in a bag of holding by hand, but if it's in our belly we can't rummage so if we're going to be able to chose which object to vomit up it needs to be on top.

And it'd not replace our current stomach, where we'd implant our fang. When we want to drink from someone we do something akin to ruminating, vomiting them from the bag into our snake belly but not up our throat.

The multiple bag thing is useful to: in best case we might make the big one into belly of the whale,  smaller one to be filled with liquid, and... giving that we're sewing it out ourself and thus hopefully still counting it as one object, could the second smaller bag be implanted in our chest for hiding the smaller arms and a few other objects without going through our throat, instead of just removing the lungs?

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

in D&D a Handy haversacks is a backpack which They hold 120 pounds, where as a bag of holding holds form 250 lb to 1500 lb. So if you want sheer quantity a bag of holding is much better.

[scout890]

implant bag of tricks in our stomach, vomit animals at people

[Armok]

oh. So basically it only reduces weight not volume? Not worth getting in that case.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

It reduces weight and volume. Just not as much as bags of holding do. It can hold 12 cubic feet, spit into 2 sections holding 2 cubic fet and one section holding eight. And it never weighs more then five pounds.

[EveryZig]

A handy haversack functions like a bag of holding, except it has the disadvantage of significantly smaller capacity and the advantage of being able to immediately pull out a stored item without having to rummage around for it.
With the haversack, I was actually wondering if we can just have it as an item rather than an aug. Putting it in our stomach negates the ease of use advantage due to the trouble of reaching down one's throat, and I can't think of anywhere else we would want to put it.
Hmm, do they only sell them in backpack shapes, or could we get a different bag with the same enchantment? A backpack would look more conspicuous than a coinpurse or something.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

You are upgraded with the a set of sensitive cat ears and a long fluffy tiger tail. The ears can pick up even the most minute sounds and the tail helps you balance. It's soft and fluffy and- Tail tail tailtail! You can see why puppies like this.
Dothki the cuts open your stomach and implants a set of vampire fangs into your guts. twisting, and shredding the vampires digestive tract and integrating it into your already expansive system was no small feat but dothki managed it though with great difficulty.
Next dotki cuts into your ribs, and hollows out part of your lungs, and inserts two leather bags designed to hold your arms hidden and out of sight when you are wearing more revealing clothes. After dothki take a quick trip to the market picking up buying a wand of charm person and a handy haversack. It reqquired some hard haggling, and much insistence on the importance of these purchases to the safety of the city, but the merchant relented in the end and gave dothki the price he wanted.
Next comes the troublesome business of implanting the wand into Elena. First, he paints an appropriate magic circle on elena's forehead in preperation for the most delicate part of the implat operation. Cramming the wand into elena with brute force. Dothki Grips the wand tighty and Forces it into your skull,
 twisting it like a key, as it merges and bonds to your body.
Finaly Dotki comes to the handy haversack.
It occurs to him that if he had thought about it he could hav implanted the sidebags of the magic backpack into elena to create enough space for her arms to be hidden without removing removing large chunks of elena's lungs.
 Oh well.
However dothki realises he could implant the bag into her stomach, though he's only heard of this being done with the smaller more powerful bags of holding.

Do you want to just wear the Haversack or implanti into elena. If you keep it unimplanted, dothki can use it, like a humanoid pack mule. Considering elena already has a large backpack and super strength to boot she may not need it.

Elena has gained Charm person, (50)
Superb hearing,
Unparalleled Balance.
Adorable Kittehness.

Ugh sorry for late update, christmas and boxing day feasting has me bloated like a flesh golem who just ate a monk.

Went back over the last page or so to see if we had forgotten anything and it seems we have not. Except for one thing I didn't notice you remarked on until now: soul augmentation.

I say we try to get a soul of some highly disciplined soldier, one for some Machiavellian social manipulator, one from some kind of gossiping centre-of-the-village party animal, and one form a skilled seductress (read:whore). Some of these might actually turn out to be the same person. We may also consider getting rid of the psychopathic soul.

Also, I vote against implanting the sack right now actually.
