Azure instructs the group to take some kitchenware as a present for Rhea, grabbing any tools that look delicate and relatively sanitary. She takes a closer look at the fireplace - or rather, instructs Maria to take a closer look for her.

Hore considers picking up the knife and adding it to her belt, but it looks cursed and nasty. She's looted bloody corpses that were less disgusting. Hore takes a few pots and pans with the least rust, and suggests they throw the kitchenware at the monsters in the next few rooms.

Maru is baffled at the turn of events- Vos, Hore, Azure, and the angelall get involved in some mess that she doesn't really understand, but the end results in Hore ceasing her weird rants against Vos, so it's probably a good thing? Just glad the glowy tart didn't seem to take issue with her heritage like everyone else seems to.

If there's more exploring to be done, this room seems safe enough as a potential point of retreat, but we should clear out known threats so in the event that we have to run we don't get sandwhiched between a rat and a Minotaur, or whatever else seems fit to assault them in this place.

Lets gather up Vos, Hore, Azure, and whoever else is crammed into this room and go do some pest control.

You successfully plunder the kitchen and regroup. Rhea can ritually purify any inanimate objects that might carry biohazards, provided they're reasonably fire resistant - iron cookware certainly qualifies.

Hore follows directly behind Maru, with Azure perched on her back.

Azure is still wondering what the final boss will be like and what the correct answer to Jalkaren's riddle is. Hore is distracted by her own imagination, thinking about how an ineffective horde of shambling corpses can overrun an entire country, and conversely, how a small team of specialists can thwart them before they can do any real damage.

Their ears are tuned to listening for rats, though. Perception roll to listen-specific.

Yep just flop over there (or however this creature moves) and dip your tail into the water. If the kid grabs on but doesn't climb, pull your tail out with the kid on it. If the kid doesn't try to touch you at all, maybe just let the tail dangle down there for a while... unless the kid gets too tired to stay above water, then try to grab him.
If he bites you, then... well, just deal with it I guess.

Is it considered okay to turn back into your normal form after the deed is done to let them know they've been saved by a Mezz?

observe the other one for a moment and see how it moves. gotta get this right.

It's possible we could try to draw attention to ourselves and therefore also the well, try making noises.

Why does the Mezzanine save people, anyway?

Would it be possible for you to give him a subconscious suggestion to climb the tail? I'm not sure if you can do that while also assuming the shape of something.

We manage to capture this glimpse speeding past the colony.

Pretty worthless as far as shelter goes.
Check to see if there's a celler.
Is that a small annex around back I see?

>>951826
Sneaky time. Do a circle 'round, peek through the windows and see if anything's moving inside. Or outside, for that matter. Then check on dead guy.

Make a beeline for the body, gun at the ready; we don't want it disappearing on us. Once we confirm that the guy is dead, make a loop around the building to confirm that any nasty surprises will come from within. If those are uneventful, checking what looks like the annex out in the back would be our next step. With that, we might as well declare the outside secure.

Find a long stick. Poke everything you touch before touching it. Especially the ground!
Are any of the trees close enough that you could climb them and get to the roof without jumping?
How stable is the building? Will it support your weight if you jump from a tree? Do you know it these sorts of churches usually have basements, cellars, or similar?

>>951825
Just a note for later. If we continue along the road, take the split left and go around the mountains. A road through a mountain pass is prime ambush territory.

Well, technically, you're all demons.

That's your common tongue name anyway. What other not-demons call you, and sometimes also-demons. General consensus is that demonkind as a whole doesn't mind the name. You -are- from underground. And a lot of you have horns.

The door seems in order, except for the strange liquid trailing up to the square symbol. Though you could've sworn that symbol used to be different...

Þ: "Eth, you didn't see it, but there was this... thing living inside the bowl. I think it tried to eat you. It stepped out and looked like a menagerie of twisted up dead bodies. I'm not sure we stand a chance against it without our blades."

>>951568

>liquid trailing up

Does that look at all like what we'd mixed in the bowl?

If so, let's be very cautious about opening that door, even if it's the only other way out -- this might all be a feverdream of sorts from whatever is going on down in this pit, but still.

SOMETHING happened, and we've got the really cool scratches to prove it to the princess once we rescue her.

Oh, also, ask Thorn if she's seen anything of either of our charges.

Okay, from the "heart map" we saw earlier... square was attached to a vein that was cut off from the heart. Might be a way out?

Is there anything else we could even do?

> Maintenance: 3 (Every week, the Manse must create a new novel, a roughly original story, minimum 150 days)
That can't be accomplished routinely or continued indefinitely, and as such is not a good maintenance requirement. How about going for the "silent and unwounded priest" bit from the Silver-Flash Grotto?

>>950923
I'm not wholly opposed to that, but on a general level I want the maintenance to tie back to the Manse's over all purpose of maintaining and preserving knowledge. That's why the first pass I made was

"A professor with Lore 4, Occult 4, and a third skill at 4 has to give an hour long lecture to at least 20 people five days a week"

since that's a reasonably routine task and can be carried out indefinitely, and ties back to the point of the Manse better than a silent unwounded priesthood, even if it has to be scaled up to be more of a direct hassle, or the schedule/curriculum has to be made more specific, or something like that.

>>950746
>In general, there are countless problems money can solve, or at least drastically simplify.
So, a supply line will still important for the livelyhood and moral/upkeep of troops, regardless of whether or not they have mortal bodies basically.

>Alternatively, describe the sort of demolition-horn you're looking for in more detail so I can work out something else.

In the story they're described as rams horns, so perhaps we can start there in terms of size and ease of portability; also, it's obviously preferable that it has some sort notable affect on walls.

>>950927
Maintenance requirement should be a sacrifice, not a side benefit of something you'd likely be doing anyway. How about requiring a skilled lecturer to periodically address an empty auditorium, with eavesdropping forbidden, reciting elaborate philosophical arguments to keep the manse's dormant mind stable?
>>951113
In terms of existing artifacts, the two that first spring to mind as being musical and wall-related would be the Horn of Ways and the Singing Staff. The former is definitely a horn, and useful for nondestructively bypassing walls or other obstacles. The latter works more like a stringed instrument, though that's easy enough to reskin, and can reshape earth and stone in arbitrary ways.

How about something in between? An upgraded variant of the Horn of Ways, with the additional power to duplicate a particular emerald circle spell, The Violent Opening Of Closed Portals, thus rapidly demolishing any mundane barrier.

Let's try playing as Niklaus for a while.

>The side story will not affect Dionaea's story.
That's not true. If Niklaus gains something useful that Dionaea can use, then that would count as affecting Dionaea's story, since she would use whatever Niklaus gives her.

Same thing if we make poor decisions and something bad happens to Niklaus while we're playing as him. If Niklaus gets kidnapped, injured, or killed, that would affect Dionaea's story by removing an ally that can help her.

Let's go with Niklaus. I imagine it'll give us some backstory, which may help our decision making in the future.

I'm still curious about Niklaus.

Is this coming back?

The ghost is still swinging. He's shorter than Fancy, but he's still got enough power to knock them back down the stairs. Fancy strikes out as they fall- he's not getting away that easily! A lucky slash catches the ghost's leg, and he cries out and falls to the floor. Must have got something important- he tries to get on his feet, but hisses in pain and settles for crawling up the stairs. Fancy gets back up and stalks up the stairs, ready to land the killing blow.... and then they hear a door open....

“Greg?,” shouts a voice from downstairs.

The ghost- that's his name? Greg?- shouts back “Come up and help me, for god's sake!”

Time to cut and run.

People know ghosty in this building? Odd that his lead to some crimes is in a building with people who know him. Was he setting you up?

Either way, rush down to the surprise on the new contender, hopefully dispatching them quickly, and make an escape at the same time.

You should probably go now, but finish off Ghosty before you do.

>Cut losses, head North

Very well. I've had enough of this place and the less time spent here the less likely I'll run into another one of those things.

With a quick check of the sun, I start heading northward as directly as I can. Getting out of the district is a lot easier than getting in to it. As I mentioned earlier in the day, all these paths want to turn into a main road. So instead of fighting the streets I am guided by them. Every time the street curves back I simply cut through some ruins. I think I'm getting better at this urban wayfinding, but I shouldn't declare that I'm good at it until I exit the city. Still, it is soon enough that I come across Clay Road, facing the West Hills District.

In prosperous times, the West Hills Was probably the most diverse of the districts. Originally, it was filled with poor but earthy folks. The tunnel and cavern dwellers dug into the hill, crowding out the people who could afford to live somewhere more private. With such cheap housing though, brought in the artists and the students of magic. Giving the district a very eccentric flair. The view from the West Hills was not lost on the wealthy, however, and it was a known axiom that if you can't afford a manse in the Sun District then you built a villa on top the West Hills. The whole district was under-going gentrification, and there was a lot of class tension among the folks there. For myself, I was eyeing a loft within the hills to live in once my time at the academy was done. I'm kind of curious if it's still there.

Now, there are many vivid and conflicting stories about what happened to this city, but one static detail is that the undead came from the West Hills. The arcane of young mages becoming corrupted by the black fire, or a sect of necromancers taking advantage of the chaos, none can really say. With bones being raised on spikes, what ev
