Welp I guess it's time to flee the BBEG because we can't fight him without going out and collecting a bunch of heart containers and equipment upgrades.

Don't forget to collect your mouse.

Rescue that titmouse!

You are endowed with the tit-le hero so you have to keep fighting the bad thing.
There might be a back up crystal or some giant cat or a giant hammer called the ratmasher or anythinh, but you need time to find out.

Meanwhile back at the park Slime's attempts at building some kind of little house to keep seeds in was going nowhere. Its goopy paws just mushed things around. After the tenth structure fell into a heap Slime gave up.

Slime watched the nest structure rise, a tangled mound full of chambers and tunnels. Insects roamed around it often getting in each other's way. "We need to get organized." thought Slime "Some kind of leadership structure."

E) Managed Democracy
F) Bug Monarchy
G) Slime Theocracy

In an effort to speed this trainwreck up I'm trying multiple choice. Feel free to suggest something else though

>>1123441
B. The factory probably has defenses so if we followed the truck home we'd be stuck outside. This is a good way to get inside the factory itself.

...we could do both B and C by splitting again...

>>1123442
Managed democracy isn't democracy at all, and is essentially a dictatorship. Monarchy does not serve the people (unless there's a Prime Minister making most/all of the decisions), and theology is... well in this case I guess it's not really a religion since Sam is effectively a goddess. Unless the slimes are being worshipped in this case? Anyway religion is not a basis for government.

I vote socialist democracy. For the people, by the people!

B). sneak on w/ at least two crows and one flying above as extra insurance

E). technically, all is slime and with an aspect of the same mind, which is basis for theology. buuut if religion is embraced, there will inevitably be sects that start to diverge in what they define as the true slime. which might jumpstart a slime war. let's avoid that.

everyone can vote how they want, but slime is the ultimate decider in a split vote or if no one can decide anything. slime will also have veto power that can be overriden by a majority vote of 75%+.

We must form our slime supremacy dictatorship and spread it all over the world until the world itself is nothing more than a slime colony!

Fox slime remembers being human, all the horrors of war, and pretty much every single human failure, but crow slime doesn't.

Thus, I think crow slime would recklessly do A, and fox slime would probably do E. (I think fox slime would probably value democracy, but would also recognize it has the collective wisdom of every human that has ever lived, and would want some kind of veto power.)

Well, talk to the least hostile person you've spoken to previously. Get to know them a bit better, see if they're at all amenable to teaming up.

It is a narrow corridor which connects to the claimed room of the golem. Not quite claustrophobic, but it possesses the qualities of a dead-end alleyway.
The golem detects you before you even enter the room, raising a hand in invitation.

"Neither do I, frater! We shall benefit from their works. The field is fallow, but we shall make it red and white."

"Red and white" you quietly speak.

"Now go, frater meus, tell them of our strength, and how they will serve us."

Hm, weird. Either it's just a codename Paul doesn't know, or there is indeed something strange at work here.

You've been told by a KW suit that Hannibal is legit, though rumor has it that he's ambitious? All he's done is look out for you so far, providing support for whatever mission you happened to be on. He's a good handler, helps keep you out of trouble. Both with the bad guys, and your bosses at KW.

Guess its up to you to make sure the trap is ready

Talk to Root now that you had the night to calm down, let him know about how you are not happy with them not working on the trap.

From what I’ve seen from Root, he isn’t really a good leader, being a coward when infiltrating the crime scene, and now not taking things like building traps seriously. If he doesn’t step up, you might have to consider physically fighting him to become the dominate rabbit and lead and work these lazy bums to shape. For now though, try and voice your concerns and ask him to step up as a leader

Busy yourself with the traps. Take brakes though, the Sun is no joke.

Begin to seriously consider life on the run with Lucy, and whether you would be willing to help hunt down other wild prey animals for her to eat.

Meanwhile, get started on those traps.

>>1123431
Talk to the others about your plans. That's what we planned to do in the morning. You thought they were going to set up traps and they didn't, and you want to know why. Root is still at least acting like he cares, so hopefully we can come to some kind of understanding. Maybe they did set up traps and they were too well-hidden to notice. Maybe they were waiting for you to come back. Or maybe they really did just stop caring.

Okay there. Yeah so, the one on the bottom? That's Doto'o. He's my bird-bro. My brod, my broder of a different feather. I see him all the time, but the others?

Those are the Daksa sisters. Twins believe it or not. Left one's Pai'sa, she's the one who saw the pic we took and drew one of her own. I kept that one and she took the photo. She was kinda shy, but liked the games I had on my aug-stack. We had shit for connection out there, but the co-op stuff was great.

Her sister on the right's Pikke'si. When Pai was busy with something, Pikke was taking a break from climbing or doing practice salvage work. She'd show up and play MercWars with me and Doto'o.

Olympia Downslope takes students from every district this side of the mountain. Which means I'm finally gonna see them again! I figured I'd have the pic attached to my regulator so they'd see me. I know they sometimes got trouble telling humans apart, even if there's gonna be like-only 2 or 3 of us on campus- and if I'm being honest I have no idea how the Daksa sisters look now. All three of them still had their youth down on, made them look all pudgy and fluffy. By now, they got their adult plumes in and I got no idea what it'll be. I figure either they notice me, or I'll find Pai when she puts her photo on something.

“Mm-hmm, I’m sure. Don’t you have a spare cloak in your portal-space-thing?” The guardian squints.

“I do, but its dirty. I meant to do laundry, but I didn’t expect I’d be gone for a month.”

“Actually-“ Casey says, interjecting. “Not looking like a guardian might be handy right now. A lot of fey are looking for us, and not having a big red cloak might be a good idea.”

Whelp, off to collect your friend... once you find them, probably your house? Has it been renovated yet? Surely...

>>1123379
Well, we'll have to wait until the Fey aren't lingering around the house, if we want to keep our presence secret.

Might be worth checking the exterior state of the house with a spyglass (you know, in case you've been robbed in the last month or had Fey intruders search the place). Also likely the house has been heavily bugged/scrying is happening. What would it take/cost to get ones house scrying-protected?

Can Kol keep his presence secret with his spirit form, or would that alert the Fey immediately, as a way to scout the house for intruders or such?

Gabes portal shelter at least is the most secure place available for any sensitive objects...

Also worth hopping by the Bakery and see the newlyweds and talk about the whole surrogate situation. Maybe grab some of their premium baked goods too, whether as a gift or a bribe to any Fey agents/royals (remember how Vivian reacted to them?).

Smoke would indicate fire. Mel could fly you up and you could cast stream into the stack to bank that flame

As he says, center yourself, then briefly remove the ring. Not fully, just enough for a flicker of perception...

Without further information, I choose The Saffron Feast. We have a little piece of Heaven in our soul, and we seek to find our own Heaven in the joys of this mortal realm.

But that might be ill-suited to the quiet, thoughtful character that was suggested previously.

I hadn't planned on posting the results until I did the wrap-up with the full design, but you're totally right that the results might color what people want to do.

So, the winning combination was that Support/Crafting/Full Caster combination. Saffron Feast as a result might pull a bit away from the fully quiet and introspective idea suggested there, but certainly doesn't negate it entirely!

>The other note was also in german. The one with the symbols.
Your right! I completely missed that and just assumed the words shown to us in our interface were words Fera was seeing and understanding.
But if that's not the case then does that mean you couldn't read that note Fera and only saw the symbols? You didn't really mention anything about the note besides the symbols afterall.

Either way. I think the gas station may have SOME connection to this group.

...ah, it's probably that speech is automatically translated for the Agents, but writing is not. We're in Germany.

That suggests that somehow, someone from here intercepted the note and wrote the grenade request on it before it arrived at the Agency. Which, yeah, should be impossible... I wonder if there's a rival Agency? Or a rival group with similar capabilities at least. Gladii's peanut gallery implied as much.

Its hard to know how to help Gladii with they're going through. So best to show respect. Help her up, if she wants to do this then so be it.

Hopefully your next case will be a little less stop and go. You succeeded in this one, so they'll surely send you on another, for better or worse.

If they have any sense they'll really want you after all your help here. I worry they won't because they haven't seemed very smart or competent so far.

but if you want to go for it then I support you.

I should also like to stipulate this; I have written the contract this way as a means of saving some face for you all. The spirit parasites, as I understand them, act like a disease. She has made that disease go dormant, and you are not under her control. Killing her would not make that go away, and only exacerbate the symptoms. We cannot get rid of her, but with this we appear not only generous but magnanimous given her criminal record. With her, we have a shot at containment, and maybe a true cure in the future.
