This is a big gamble in more than one way, but might work out very well:
"Would you like to fight me when I am stronger? If you will hold a moment I will see if this room hides vials of blood. If so I will take them and fight you at full strength. If not I will fight you as I am."

Pray he likes a good fight, and for cubbyholes! If he says no RUN and try to discover a cubbyhole as you go.

"... Very well. But know that I shall prepare as well."

The bony plates snap into place over the red eye, and the runes on his body change and glow, pulsing like small hearts.

okay stick to the plan.

I run along the hall, looking behind the tapestries. At the end, I've yet to find anything.

Oh no. Oh no.

Heavy footsteps. A roar, beastial and low. I have at most three seconds before he slams me into this wall.

wait until the last moment and then hit the deck, letting him slam into the wall, and then run the other way. let twenty out and hope he slows 19 down some. then run through the room with the mages and just yell "19 IS LOOSE!" they will probably question what you are doing out but will decide they have bigger fish to fry.

>"JUMP, DAMN YOU! Put that hair to use!"

Instinctively, I follow the command, leaping into the sky, my 'hair' slamming into and finding purchase in the walls and ceiling as the creature slams into the wall below me.

>"Now. You're out of it's reach, for now. We need a better plan than 'release more of the blighters and hope' or 'alert the mages that you are loose'. Think quickly, gel, I want you to try and work yourself outta this one."

... It's stuck. The spikes on its shoulders appear to have lodged into some support beams. It roars mightily.

>"An' speaking from the heart, love, I'm certain they are on their way."

well then, i guess that open doorway right there is a good enough place to go.

OR, option2: we hide in 19's Cell and when the mages run past it to sub due him you slip past and go through the room they were gathered in.

>>227997
That's damn risky, considering we'd be trapped in there. Let's check out what is in this room, if it has one or no exits we'll try your idea.

Otherwise we'll try whatever deceptions later on without intentionally backtracking and cornering ourselves.

>>228042
no dude, they are ON THEIR WAY, we cannot do one and then the other. need to pick.

>>228043

I swing through the doorway into a very large room. Three absolutely enourmous tapestries adorn one wall, behind a small stage. There are, in bad repair, rows of pews lined up, all the way to the back of the room, where two staircases are, one leading up, the other down.

I feel a strange attraction to the latter.

Shaking it off, I note that the distant door has a sign that reads "LAB".

I can hear the men engaging 19 behind me. He is too large to fit through the door to this room, and voices his anger. The men attempt to pacify.

go through the tapestries on your way to the lab, just cut them at the tops so they fall away and if nothing then go into the lab.

Remorse?
Fear?

I am uncertain. All I know now is that I want out of here. They are fighting 19. They are losing.

You have regained some Sanity.

wow. you feeling okay now? okay, think we ether go to the lab or take the up stairs. i'm inclined to try the lab first. who knows what magical things they could have?

I move into the lab. It's sparse, as if recently cleaned out... or, rather, ransacked.

"It's over. The containments are failing. Good gods, we've failed. Let me join the chorus."

>>231657
"Would you kindly shut up and see about getting out of here?"

"you have two options you can ether continue and kill yourself or you can help me get out of here and redeem yourself a little"

"You can either help me, or your blood can help me. Your choice."

His eyes seem to be... warping, changing. He's speaking strangely.

he seems to be being taken over by something. dart forward and slay him before it is complete. then cut the lock off of the cabinet and open it up.

>>235166
Ask him who he's talking about, while investigating the blue/red stuff under the table? Is that some kind of special blood we can nab?

Grey: More information would be nice, to add on top of his soon-to-be-coming explanation.

>There's not much I know about the Entity he speaks of, save that it is the bane of this world and yet its savior. The informant was not very... infromative...

"He is the taker of minds, the Living Madness! You must..."

I spear him through the face with my collected blood, and he falls over dead.

The debris on the floor? Dried blood and glass. The lock I can handle, but it might take a bit.

i think you have time, and if it's locked up it mst be important, i mean, they left magic stuff out in the open. so stuff they wanted hidden?

>>235921
Hmm, would it be faster to pick the lock or smash it open?

Even as I turn to attack the scientist I thought dead, his body twitches out of the way, pulled from my assault by an ebony tentacle. And another tears free from his back, pulling him to the ceiling as his robe blackens, and then I realize... it's the man's skin, pulled from beneath the cloak, stretched and mutated until it takes the form of a gristly robe. His eyes vanish into his skull, his mouth agape as blood runs down his cheeks. His hands warp, and as I watch, the skin upon them peeled away, then the muscle, then the bone itself melts into black ooze that reforms into long tendrils that reshape into vile mockeries of hands.

Then, finally, his heart rises from his chest, beating slowly, glistening in the open air.


Something about this stirs a very primal fear within my heart, a sympathetic feeling of loss and pain.

>>236847
Red: Little help here?

lead it back to 19, and while they are trying to kill each other you collect the spoils.

>>236847

Well obviously it inspires sympathetic feelings. You're made of the same black stuff as he just melted into. Even if you can't remember it I doubt you can completely forget the pain.

For the future, don't kill people just because they annoy you, because then you end up having to fight with things like this

>>236993
i said to kill him, not because he was annoying but because he looked like he was being taken over. which as you can see he was. may have gotten something worse if we didn't do it that soon.

With a scream, the creature throws the furniture to the back of the room, blue lines appearing breifly upon them as they lift up and nearly slam into me.

>>236849
The noise has died down. I doubt they are fighting anymore.

>>236848
>I'm not sure but the gigantic swollen beating heart might be something!


I attempt to strike at it, but he raises an arm swiftly, and iron-hard tendrils of flesh block my blade.

Damnit!

Use your electrical breath!

Also possibly hair tentacle stabbing.

yes, a bolt directly to the heart.

Even if the electrical breath doesn't hit the heart directly it should stun or at least distract enough so you can get an opening to stab at it.

>>240308
point, if it does just seem to stun him then split your blood hair in two and grab each of his 'hands' by the wrist to keep them still then stab.

I spew the lightning. It's not much -barely even a few tendrils- but they slide around the arms as if they aren't there, and almost seem to seek the heart.

Sniff the bubbling goo, get totally high. Oh wait no you probably want to keep sane in this quest. Looks like, are those levers or card slots?

looks like different color bloods. read the notes first, in case it's like "caution, may turn you inside out"

They are both magically infused blood.

However...

The Yellow Blood is called Immortal Sanguination. It grants supreme defense against one attack, taking the power of immortality from Elves and Halflings. The cost is, however, that the area I inject it into becomes paralyzed for one hour.


The purple blood is called Retreading Ichor, and allows me to randomize one of my mutated traits. However, doing so will forever remove a single upgrade from the ones you can see upon using mutagenic blood.

Both papers also note that each vial comes with a certain number of doses, the power behind them such that a single dose is all that is required for their effect.

hurm. take both and cram them into your hair. then look in the formerly locked cabinet.

>>249244
Take the vials for use later, and go unlock that cabinet.
