What would we do with the eye stalks? I kind of get the insect eyes as small addable eyes, but the stalks seem fragile.

[Armok]

main function is that they can be folded into our skin, with enough margin to entirely cover the eyes, to look just like skin imperfections when we're trying to be human. Secondary function is looking in different directions and generaly giving them better vantage points.

And the eyes are not chosen due to smallness; in that case I'd have gone for eyes of small birds with better version. The dragonfly eyes are chosen for their temporal resolution, which is a technical-ish concept but for these purposes basically means reaction speed. they are a *lot* better at it.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

With Willikins carrying your purchases you and Dothki proceed to the university Labs where  it seems a class is emptying one of the practical rooms. Some of the students seem upset and a few glare at you and Dothki.
Within the lab you find, after some searching A terrarium  filled with snail and a Jar filled with preserved insect corpses. A professor hurridly picks up his notes and scurries out of the room. You notice 3 skeletons on the ritual alter. Now would be the time to hire an assistant if you wish to do so. Otherwise you have time to perform five operations on Elena.

Are you sure you want to vampirically drain the Eye rather then Implanting it? Because if you have the eye in you gullet you won't be able to drain anything else. I would have thought you'd just implant it into your lungs or liver or something so you can metabolize evil.

[Armok]

I meant having it live in the bag of holding (ambience!) and occasionally regurgitating it, drain it, and then swallowing it back down, but if we can implant it while still living that's even better!

I'm not sure why we need much staff, would make more sense to just buy the services of an individual procedure than have someone in our full time employ unless we're going to do it a lot.

[EveryZig]

We already have the services of box-guy for general underling purposes, and a specialist would be too expensive to hire full time.

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

The hireling is more of a one time assistant for this operation, and they ensure everything works perfectly, meaning I won't do any success/fail rolls. they would cost about 250 gold or 50 gold for every upgrade.
And I still don't know exactly what upgrades you want to do though.

[Armok]

Exact operations list agreed on so far:
Installing the siren throat in our throat, bag of holding in/as stomach, gazelle leg muscles in our legs, gecko skin on hands and feet, eye stalks in a strategic pattern, and creeping eye in whatever way lets us live of evil. Which I assumed was implicit from my above shopping list.

Things still uncertain:
*Exactly how the creeping eye is best installed. Possibilities include spreading it's living organs amount ours integrating it fully, just sewing it to the side of the bag of holding and connecting it with blood vessels and whatever else is needed to transfer the energy, or having it free-roam in the bag as a pet.
* how many soul energy bottles and soul jars should be bought.

Additional possible additions not yet agreed on:
*If we should get greater biting strength. I vote no, but is we do do that badger or wolverine might be a good source for the muscles.
*A mechanism inside the bag of holding to hold the soul energy bottles, with a dead man's switch that will douse us in case we get knocked out.
*Unless normal food doesn't give us energy, it might be useful to install a large digestive tract, or even several, inside the bag of holding.
 - There's likely to be very cheap digestive tracts of cows or the like as slaughterhouse wast that'd let us live of grass or such in emergencies.
 - Giant pig stomach should let us eat anything a human can and a whole bunch of other things as well, in very large quantities and process it rapidly.
 - There is likely to be some magical creature around embodying the Extreme Omnivore trope. We may summarily invent the Dire Goat, the size of a large horse and able to live of anything from bone to wood to or crude oil.

Dothki puts Elena onto the ritual slab and begins the gruelling process of merging the snake throat with the vocal chords of the siren. He manages to perform the procedure with only slight mistakes, resulting in Elena's voice being slightly altered. Implanting the Bag Of holding goes without a hitch and Elena's stomach becomes A stomach of Holding, almost Inescapable and near infinite. Next he Enhance Elena's legs with swift footed Gazelle legs giving her suer-human agility. Then come the Gecko skin implants placed on Her Hands and Feet for that Added bit of grip, and finally Dothki peppers Elena's body with his own specially modified dragonsnail eyes, giving Elena super-fast reflex's and awareness For brief periods of time at least.

Assuming this means the other changes just aren't going in this time around: practice parkour, show of awesomeness.

[killerhellhound]

inplant souls for more storage of power and to manage the parts

[Monkeyfacedprickleback]

You practice parkour by running around the university doing some sort of acrobatic pirouettes of handles and doing flips and shit. Your rapid progress comes across reanimated skeletons which appear to have been running away from your direction before collapsing into sad piles of bone.
But acrobatic show boating aside it's getting dark and you must return to the inn so Dothki can get his 8 hours of sleep. You won't be able to go far but while the weakling mage tends to his mortal needs you will be able to explore the inn and it's surrounding area.

You're going to live in your own stomach?

>Veto this, it doesn't seem helpful at all. How could it actually be useful?

[Armok]

Dothki having a place to live that's trivial to move around and protect, doesn't take up space and automatically keeps him close to us?
