You open the door and the smell of rain hits you.
There's a mouse, a very small mouse standing in the doorway - much too small to be Debra. She's dressed appropriately for the weather down to her little rubber boots.

"Hello!" The voice is high pitched and nasally. "You're Riley, right? I need your help! Are you busy?"

It's an unusual question to ask: Everybody knows everybody in town, this is somebody you've never met before.

Do I know you from somewhere?

Who's askin'?

...Don't explicitly invite her in. Leave the door open and wait for her to enter or leave.
Vamps and shit.

Helping out with something beats hanging around here. Did Debra send her? Sounds about right for the old lady to involve you in someone’s shenanz.

Look for weather appropriate footwear to put on as well.

You reunite yourself with your gear, tucking the key into one of your pocket hollows, and pull a map out of the book. The cap fills you with power and eases the pain of the impact, but it can’t undo the embarrassment of falling right on your head. You’re at least thankful there wasn’t anyone around to see it happen. You don’t know if you’re into that kind of humiliation.

(You can now ask both your cap and your book for ideas if you get stuck. The cap boosts your mana pool and casting level significantly. the book contains nearly every secret known or unknown, but finding those secrets within its pages is difficult, and keeping the knowledge outside the book is even trickier. Still, these are an invaluable pair of tools you can use to help navigate the castle ruins. Don't Lose Them Again!)


You examine the map. You're in the first sublevel of the YAWN CASTLE RUINS. You've already explored a couple of rooms, but this key is the first item you've found. Looking over the map you can see there's a handful of rooms you haven't been to yet: a PANTRY, an ARMORY, and a STUDY. A couple of unmarked rooms and passages connect the spaces between each room. There's also a large DOOR marked between this level and the next.

Where to?

Raid the PANTRY for food!

I vote for the study. There's typically a magical Orb or two in them.

Put anvil in your inventory

Start with the pantry, a snack will bring your morale back up.

Actually, don’t mention anything about the coin. Just say the hero did that (technically true) and we can do the test again with a different hero if she wishes.

B) the hero manipulates luck, or claims to at least.
If you are going to say that affected the data we apologize but we only had so many heroes to choose from

B) plausible deniability.

We have to get the fuck ou out of this fucked up rat utopia! Play along but stay alert all the time. Never forget where your allies are and look for any openings or flaws in the security.

So we are part of a puppet show, let's perform our roles to the best of our ability. Do what is asked of you, and if you can come closer to your friend, talk with them, and find out what they learned about this cage.

I have not come to kneel before you but to formally challenge you for the thorn!

You're expected to formalize a surrender, and your words might affect your companions well-being. You're too badly injured to do anything brash or defiant, and you don't want to become a puppet or half-living revenant so best to play along.

Might as well introduce yourself in a fitting and civilized manner. Tem'Rty, hunter of beasts that stave off hunger or threaten kin, scout of places dark and unknown.

Do not say anything about the outside, whether that it is winter, that you come from Gravel Pit (lest he send ravens to your home) or similar.

Admit your defeat and try to sound selfless, that you fought to ensure the safety and survival of others. Try to hide your pain /injuries, lest you be offered a gruesome surgery to 'fix' them.

Despite being caught more than a little off-guard by the request and everything else that's happening, Paprika manages to come back with a dreamy "Oh Nat...I thought you'd never ask." Dancing in such an awkward space with an invisible partner presents an interesting challenge, but Paprika is a consummate professional. She carefully lifts and guides Nat around any obstacles and ends with a mostly-graceful tumble that leaves the two lying on the floor together. "So uh...have you always been able to go invisible like that?"

Reiko groans off-comms. "Whyyy..."

So: Either the 'immigrants' can't hear her or they don't speak Trade, their challenge rating is higher than anything the team can take, Branu might get angry if Reiko throws them out into space, or might get angrier if she doesn't...
Cricket has gone missing, while Natalina (who ironically hasn't gone missing because she's invisible) and Paprika are too busy doing the hanky panky and turning their psychological issues around.

And now all her favorite snacks are soggy.
Wonderful.

Reiko (still linked) directs the ship AI to 'jiggle' the iced-up doors with a combination of pseudo-physics designed to crush multi-form polymorphic crystalline structures, especially since the surrounding 'liquid water' is highly oxygenated somehow. If she can get control back to the doors, maybe she could try out a Binary code by having the door open-and-shut at specific intervals to communicate at a distance. Or just lock the doors, blast off, and call this expedition a bust.

The arkus gives her girlfriend a funny look. "That was metaphor. I know numenera can make things ambiguous at times, but you're looking right at me."

No blood trail from the kitchen. So that wound was not caused there, or it was a minor wound that they kept from bleeding much until now.
If you have any medical training this would be a good time to use it. If not, ask if there's a medic on board. Actually, one-handed medical care is pretty bad so you probably shouldn't try to help directly. Go find someone that can help.

Okay, what benefit does she get from telling us this? The fact that she is saying these things to you means she fears prison more than death for some reason and wants you to finish her off... if she's not the gang leader, could the actual leader be scary enough to punish her in prison and make her suffer a fate worse than death? I can't think of any other reason why she would want us to kill her other than not wanting to talk in trial.

In any case, I don't think this is a petty enough crime for her to simply help her bail out of prison. And if for some reason it is, there's always witness protection services, which would suck, but it is what it is. She is just trying to scare you into acting.

For now, just ask why in the world she would even be telling you this stuff, other than to scare you into murdering her? What does she have to gain? What's she scared about?

Gabe could always reach around and slip a finger under Cole's tail, give him the final push over the edge~

Who else but Gabe can induce a religious experience / nirvana via blowjob? :3

The mice are gonna end up becoming the fey equivalent of a divine trinity at this rate - with Gabe, Casey and Kol being the Body, Mind and Spirit of sexual pleasure.

Maybe they'll attract fey disciples who want to learn of their art.

Isn't this sex under false pretenses? What's going to happen, are we gonna have to worry about generating Spite from this?

Its mutually consentual and enjoyable, doubt that would generate Spite. Otherwise any seduction a Changeling does would be sex under false pretenses. They also seem to consider masquerade as a 'social deduction game' and/or art (sex being a 'move' you can make as part of the game, or an artistic expression).

As for Gabe, he's genuine / is clearly destined to have sex with the cosmos.

Hmm, if Spite exists, would that mean there is a force of 'ultimate positivity/good vibes' opposite to Spite that could negate or erase it?

Although you've forgotten a lot of it, it seems clear that your primary concern for about 2 millennia has been the safety of people in this new timeline. The most honest answer you can give is that you want to live to see a safe world, free from man-made disasters.

You'd like the world of the future to be protected from dangers, like uh... you. Maybe dying? You'd like to see the world outside of that one room before you decide. There's also something important you need to do first. If you don't remember what that is, there might not be any life to live after this is done.

Maybe you'd just like a world where being evil doesn't automatically save the world. Ever.

>very nearly too late, because they are already here
Ah. I think I know what you were supposed to do, BEFORE people arrived. You were supposed to prevent them from getting access to the ship's tech, either because the tech itself is dangerous, or because it would turn the cold war hot and lead to nuclear annihilation. You could do this either by dying and scuttling the ship, or by traveling somewhere else... but I think the intent was the former. You put it off because you couldn't quite do it, due to self-preservation instinct or an aversion to damaging your friend's body.
Alternatively, you were meant to prevent them from getting to a specific part of the ship, to prevent them from seeing or doing something in particular, and you didn't need to destroy the entire thing or yourself. Like I guess preventing them from getting the time travel tech specifically. Maybe it doesn't matter if they get access to the rest of the tech.

Also you probably know the language because you were monitoring the civilization, and that's what kept you going for thousands of years. You had to see the outcome of your actions. To know it was worth it.

And
People will have to donate more often rather than being a one pray and done

We all know where this is going.

We are going to make the priest of each shrine talk things out, solve their differences with sexy results, and form a syncretic religion.

This will, of course, eventually cause a schism between the dick-in-butt and the dickbutt shrines that will lead to a long and horrid war, but that won't be a problem for another 100 years!

Perhaps we need butt priestess covered in cum with a thong with filled condoms tied to it and let her get tailed with dicks asshoöe and oussy filled with cum so she can birth the big dick dragon and the butt Goblin in a time loop scenario of the Guardian spirits

As a dick priest, they likely know more abput male individuals than most. Ask if they know what the RAT KING looks like. Are they a single rat that's nefarious, or like, a bunch of rats that got stuck together somehow?

Also, what was the Magical Crystals purpose before it got destroyed?

Also worth asking if they got/know anything that can help with the Huge Dick Dragon part of your quest.

You could use a bath, I forgets the last time you got an opportunity. Hopefully the briefing doesn't need charts.

They make a good point boss, it's efficient, and you demonstrate your trust in her.

(Caught up on DiveQuest at last! First time contributing to one of these, I hope I'm doing it right.)

A bigger deal to consider with being connected with a deity is that it is unfathomable in thinking and morality. And that there is a possibility it is influencing you without you realizing it (think marionette happily dancing its jig).

What if this being manipulates you, or worse, demands outright, that you commit a supernatural atrocity? Something that aligns with your goals but you as a person would vehemently oppose?

What if the deity decides that you need to be offed like Red Fang was?

We've seen firsthand that a deity is able to inflict punishments worse than death (arguably). What if your protector of the weak decides it smite 'the strong' on a scale of nations?

Let's not forget some truly outstanding coincidences that occurred around Muschio.

Such as him accidentally burning down an entire town via an unlikely domino effect of events.

Or how a person he buried alive is now one of his most trusted allies.

Divinity hanging over Muschio might be literally manifesting these coincidences.

It's also possible that most visions are the divinity doing the equivalent of 'Look what I did!' to Muschio.

Let's go on that private tour.

Ask her if she wants to have a cock and balls again

>>1129350
We are trying to be subtle here...

Go on tour, continuing our tiny modifications as we go.

tell her the tour sounds lovely and ask her to lead the way.

Just remember to ask a lot of questions so she has to focus on you just as much as the tour and to keep your subtle manipulations going on her whenever she looks your way or talks to you. Once the manipulations start getting her noticeably aroused start acting like you're getting more comfortable around her and become a little more clingy. As in moments when you can't think what to talk about walk close enough for your shoulders to touch or even try and hold her hand if you think she wouldn't mind. If she tells a joke or a happy story give her a quick hug when expressing your own joy. And every time the two of you touch make the subtle pleasure rise slightly for when your touch last longer then a moment or in instances where the contact is brief give her a sharp and large amount of pleasure but make it so quick it could easily be dismissed as a trick of her mind.

Other than that go through the tour and show genuine interest in both what she's talking about and in her, be friendly and kind and show you're starting to open up to her yourself and trust her more, and never leave her side to keep the manipulations up even if she tries to distance herself from you to make it seem like she is getting hella worked up around you.

Oh and on a side note, if she ever makes any remarks or jokes about dating, hanging out, or just being around you give a small jolt of pleasure to her only slightly more noticeable then what you're doing to her normally to "encourage" these thoughts and a much sharper and stronger jolt if she ever mentions anything about sex or making out to you, while you yourself will always take such questions or remarks as her just being friendly and opening up to you to keep up the air of innocents you're trying to build up.

I’m liking what I’m hearing! Let’s also use our subtle rewards system for any time she interacts with her new flower. We’ve given her an object that she associates with us~ That object should quickly become her favorite thing, and if she gets pleasant tingles from looking at and/or touching it, that’ll certainly speed the progress along~ Gives us an extra hook to wiggle into her heart. “Ohhhh~ Why do I feel like this when I pay attention to the flower?? Do I feel the same way about… him??? *looks at us and the feeling intensifies* M-Maybe…” Every little detail counts~

Deep breaths, don't worry about a thing for now.

Just focus on your memories.

Try to recall your family, who they are, what you have lived with them, what they taught you.

This will also help you recall common knowledge and etiquette. Family takes priority, of course, but it all ties together.
