On the trip, I go ahead and drop all five versions of Resist Energy on myself, plus False Life. Yes, that pushes me up a full cup size… but I can turn it off, so it's not too bad.
When we get into the very, very empty cargo bay, he starts chatting, “Ah, maybe this isn't such a great idea… I mean, you look like you're a fine captain… and Stephanie suits you….”
If I let him continue as he is, he'll simply become someone else's problem, so I'm not letting this idiot off the hook, “A challenge was issued and accepted; a duel it shall be. You chose the terms… sucks for you that you picked the wrong target.” I literally can't be killed by anything I have seen in this universe….
His eyes narrow, “You’re bluffing… probably just a force field I need to burn through….”
I shrug, “Suit yourself… begin!”
I get two spells off before he aims: Deep Slumber, twice. It's a nice little spell that puts people harmlessly to sleep… he stays on his feet, but his armor becomes very ill-fitting as his chest balloons outwards, his waist narrows, and his hips expand… his knockers are each a good six inches across now… good to know Patricia's effects aren't contingent on the spell actually working.
“Hmm… tasty… and you’ve already pushed him across the line… he was a man who wanted nothing more than to beat other men down and force them to submit to him in all ways; it was all about the power for him. Now? She wants to be beaten, forced, and violated; to submit to she who is her better. She'll make a fine harem member for you, if you let her live… although you will need to defeat her first.” Thanks Patricia, that was a mental image I did NOT need.
“What are you?!” the pirate shouts as she snaps two shots off from her weapon… both of which hit, but Protection From Energy soaks it… for now.
“Annoyed!” I shout back as I toss two more Deep Slumber spells at her while her power cell is charging the capacitors for the next shot… which never comes, as Ebonwing collapses to the ground, snoring, propped up by her melons that are now a good seven inches across, her big, beautiful behind displayed quite well in her skin-tight armor, her wings folded and pressed on her back… and taking on a slightly lighter hue, kind of reddish.
“If you don't push things,” my pink temptress taunts, “She won't consider you to have won….” Ugh. Fine. Feast, Patricia.
An unconscious person doesn't resist ‘harmless’ spells, so I open her armor and spam Cure Serious Wounds on the pirate until her feathers are all neon pink and she's sporting two beanbag chairs on her chest, her armor having no hope of ever closing without extensive modifications.
My head starts to pound as the pirate wakes up.
“I won,” I declare to her, “And if you doubt that, just look down.”
I pause while she does so, but don't give her quite enough time to fully process her changes, “Your wager on your victory was ‘everything’ and that is what I will take… including you, yourself. Strip, go to the mess hall, and await my pleasure on your knees like a good dog.”
“Yes Mistress,” is all that comes from her mouth as she hastens to obey, having trouble getting out of the overly-tight armor… but eventually managing it, then continuing with her clothes, her shoes, a ring, and otherwise fully stripping down to her skin… at which point, she crawls on her hands and knees, dragging her massive melons across the floor as she leaves, showing me her bounteous behind, and leaving a wet trail from the steady stream flowing from her slick slot.
“It's time…” Patricia whispers in my ear as she summons the laptop, and I get to work.
SpoilerOkay… this is level four, and there’s a gem here, just barely available: The Terraformer is a CR seven robot from Pathfinder that has “Technological Wonders” - it makes all of my abilities non-magical and permanent. It means I don't need to worry about spells expiring, antimagigic fields, dead magic planes, or dispelling… and I make it in reach with the Recycled Construct, Degenerate, and Young templates (using the ‘smaller creature’ variant for Young, of course), each of shich reduces the CR by one. So… yoink.
Next up is that I need to continue my spellcasting progression. I get second level spells known here… and I'm taking my favorite: Wings of Cover. It's a nice little immediate action spell - a reaction, in Starfinder - that breaks line of effect for one moment, good enough to stop a single spell or attack. I also get a new cantrip, but that matters very little… I just pick something.
My last pick from Freelancer itself… there's a third party class from Rogue Genius Games: Eldritch Godling. One of their possible choices is Attuned Mysticism. It's a Minor Ascendancy they can select at 1st level, and it lets the character pick one type per five caster levels, letting them use the selected types on type-specific spells… so “Charm Person” (which normally only affects humanoids) to affect one of the types selected in Attuned Mysticism. Now, I only natively have a caster level of four… so I get just one pick: I'm going with Outsider: Because that will let me use all of the buffs on myself (temporarily) and on Summoned Creatures (permanently). I figure on grabbing Constructs next level.
Now, there is a problem with all spells being Permanent and undispellable: They can't be turned off, and that can be a problem (especially with things I put on me). But there’s also a solution for that: The Fleeting Spell metamagic feat. It's a +0 metamagic feat that cuts durations in half (doesn't matter, as Technological Wonders makes them last forever), makes them easier to counterspell or dispel (again, Technological Wonders fixes that), and lets them be dismissed as a swift action (which is what I'm after). As long as Technological Wonders is applied last, I'm golden… and the general approach is to apply things in the best possible order.
Skills… incremental improvements only… Eidolon… two new evolution points, one more max attack… eh, spells are better… I spend my points on more skill boosting, because skills are great. Saves go up, as do hit points and stamina points… my Base Attack Bonus goes up… when I'm not bonded to my eidolon, but I keep her on basically constantly. I get a stat point this level… Charisma, of course, although nothing changes with this being an odd point.
[collapse]I review to make sure I have everything… and commit… oh, and my headache goes away.
I take a moment to dispel the buffs from the fight with Ebonwing… although that name really doesn't fit her anymore… and check with the ship as I dispose of my illusory disguise and my eidolon.
“Stephanie, I need another measurement session,” as I shuck my top.
“Certainly Mistress,” my ship complies, “Six hundred cubic centimeters each, a slightly large D cup with your 34 inch band size.
I nod, “... and what would the next cup up be in terms of volume?”
“You'll reach a standard E cup at seven hundred ten cubic centimeters, another hundred ten cc's, Mistress,” my ship is very helpful.
“Thank you, Stephanie.”
“Certainly Mistress.”
I consider as I get my clothes back on. So… do I really want to do this next bit? I should only need to do it once… but it'll hurt. The Spark of Life spell - with Attuned Mysticism - will let me strip myself of certain immunities in a temporary manner, letting me use a “wonderful” little spell called Suffer the Flesh… which lets me take Constitution damage to increase my caster level…
Having gotten my shirt back on, I start in on resummoning my eidolon.
…but it doesn't qualify for Fleeting Spell before Technological Wonders, as the duration is only a single round. And it doesn't qualify after, because then it's Permanent. So I'll be stuck with the increase… and due to stepping reasons, I'll need to cast it twice. So… two instances of twenty cc's, without the option of changing my mind later… but that will give me a five point bonus to my caster level, which - with my Mythic ring and the boost from Wild Arcana - would get me up to a caster level of twelve, good for sixth level spells.
It's just forty CC's… and I only need to hit that once… okay then… I can do this… and I do. Fleeting Spell on an Attuned Mysticism Spark of Life, and my immunity to ability damage is on hold. One casting of Suffer the Flesh…. AAAH. Oh, that hurt. Restoration (yes, I can do fourth level spells with the step) fixes the actual ability damage… then… I can do this… one more casting…. AAARGH. One Restoration spell and dismissal of the Spark of Life spell later, and it's done.
And I'm so glad I won't need to do that again.
And I can do a little better… Spell Enhancer (it’s in Spell Compendium; handy 4th level spell) gives my “next spell” a boost, getting my caster level briefly to fourteen… which is enough for the caster level boost version of Create Magic Tattoo (also from Spell Compendium). I get three of those (the limit listed by the spell, with Fleeting Spell, of course), making the Craft checks with Divine Insight.
That gets my run-time caster level with Wild Arcana up to fifteen; seventeen with Spell Enhancer, good for seventh and eighth level spells (respectively) with my casting chassis… one more CL boost, and I can get ninth level spells, once per round.
Of course, that pushes me all the way up to seven hundred CC'S, just shy of an E cup.
But hey: Now I can do seventh and eighth level spells, which includes Resurrection, Greater Restoration, Cyclic Reincarnation, Heal… and of more immediate relevance, Summon Nature's Ally VIII, Polymorph Any Object, and Enable Function.
Summon Nature's Ally VIII gets me an Elder Air Elemental: an Outsider with sixteen hit dice (and Base Attack Bonus, because they're Outsiders), a really nice dexterity score, and a few useful skills at maximum ranks… although with Patricia's influence, they come out looking like women with insane bustline, waistline, and hipline measurements… Polymorph on said Outsider reduces her to human size and makes her human shaped… but she's still an outsider. Attuned Mysticism on a third party spell, Enable Function, lets me give her half of my caster level (so eight) ranks in an arbitrary skill. Tacking on Karmic Blessing makes it a class skill, and Enable Function again gives her Skill Focus… and I can rinse and repeat. Basically, highly skilled disposable crew members on-demand that don't need pay, food, or sleep. You know, in case I want a bigger ship at some point. For now? Between Stephanie piloting and myself handling engineering tasks via the consciousness uplink drive, we're covered.
As for appearances, I drop a Fleering Veil spell on myself… another sixty CC's, putting me over the line for an E cup, but this illusion covers touch, sound, and scent in addition to sight. I assign myself to my c-cup form when doing so (although I do keep the female genetalia… the Barbie look isn't for me), just for consistency.
Of course, I know it's an illusion, so I can see right through it. Looking down at the twin five and a half inch orbs on my chest, I wonder… did I really need to push it that far?
Regardless… I need to figure out what to do with my newest victim… who I'm sure is waiting patiently. I go through her things… ah, a Ring of Sustenance, nice to know that they exist here, too, but quite useless for me… then nod, and head over to the mess hall.
