every spot on the vines that you were previously holding needs to be replaced with a grip on higher, undissolved segments. do so and recall acid.

Mechi retracts her acid core back, and manages to climb on the vimes enough to stick to the wall and creep her way up. Leo is up here, and he looks very relieved.

“Phew! I can’t... I mean... are you alright!? I thought you were a goner!”

“But what happened? How did I end up hanging down there?”

“We were taking care of Mirla and suddenly you completely zoned out. Eyes fixed in the distance, completely silent, clutching that old pocket watch... We didn’t know what was up with you! And then you turned around and started walking. We tried to stop you but we didn’t really know how! And then you kept walking up the mountain and towards the cliff. We tried to put as many vines and branches around you as we could, trying to pull you back... You snapped out of it, just in time! What was that!?”



It’s pretty late here and I think this is a good stopping point for the session.Next saturday it’ll be Passage’s turn, and next one we’ll continue Meigara from here. Thank you all for participating!

"the watch was exactly as i thought, it was talking, but apparently it decided that i needed to die as fast as possible so it took control, luckily this here glowing ball let me regain that control"
>>
No. 457054 ID: 0006f5

honesty is fine. you had a feeling the pocket watch was cursed or -something- and it basically caused you rigid hallucination when you put it on. the question now is where did mirla get it from or who had access to it that could imbue such an effect
>>
No. 457055 ID: f2c20c

Tell them that the watch lets chrome-head control people. Huh. We still have it? It must only work against someone once.

Consider destroying it.

Mechi remembers that she found the pocket watch in the dungeon back at the city, and it probably belonged to that creepy man with the metal head... the same one she dreamed about just now. Mirla liked it and Mechi didn't see anything wrong with letting her have it. Which happened to be a mistake. It’s not doing anything right now, but that could change and start doing things to her mind again, think Mechi. Maybe she should get rid of it and throw it down the cliff. Or not. She should make her mind.

Mechi points at Leo’s hands, which seem to be in poor shape, burned and bloody. He shrugs and tries to hide a groan of pain. “Yeah, when we noticed you were going straight towards the cliff, I tried to grab you. That was stupid of me...”

Mechi apologizes for all the trouble she’s caused, and fails to know how to give a kiss. Leo shrugs and tries to dismiss the matter, even if it’s obvious he’s in pain. “It’s ok, I’ll get them healed when I go back with the Order.”

Mechi tells him about the watch and the weird dream, and asks his opinion about it. He examines the object for a moment, before answering.

“It’s a powerful, enchanted artifact, linked to that strange man, who is obviously a powerful individual. It might pull you again into another trance quite easily, and next time that man won’t let you snap out of it so easily. We don’t have the means to destroy something like this right now, but it’d be too dangerous to carry. My advice is to leave it, in a well hidden spot. But if you want to keep it, it would be wiser if I carry it. I would be easier to immobilize if I’m hypnotized by it than you, for obvious reasons.
>>
No. 460705 ID: bf54a8

yes but he may not have to go to such extremes to kill you. can make you swallow your tongue, something you can't do.

in fact, would falling that far even kill you? you are slime, unless it splattered you in a million directions i doubt you would die.

>>460704
Does he have any offensive magic powers or a weapon?
If he can fireball his face, you figure the man in the hat will just have Leo do that instead of making nature or the laws of physics off the watch's holder.

Maybe it really is better to leave it, he might be able to track it. I don't see what we can gain by keeping this awful thing. If the harpy still wants the watch for whatever reason, we'll save up to get a similar one that isn't an awful, evil device.

No. 460718 ID: 0006f5

not sure what keeping this thing is supposed to accomplish. im inclined to leave it except mirla might have a real fit about it, not too confident of our ability to present a strong case. forget the city mang, lets get leo healed and frighten some order folk

Being splattered into a million directions would kill Mechi, actually. Basically if he dense core inside her is destroyed, she dies. The soft gel that makes her “body” is completely malleable and almost indestructible, but that’s not the case with her core.

After Mechi asks, Leo answers that he doesn’t have that kind of magic powers. He doesn't add anything else, but anyways Mechi decides that the watch is too dangerous too keep around. They bury it deep under a large tree root.

They head back to find the others. Mirla seems to be up again.

Mechi approaches her harpy friend, who doesn't look too happy.

“Hey, are you alright?”

Mirla sighs and nods, shaking her wings slowly, shrugging.

“Yes, thanks to you. I was so stupid, insisting on holding onto that watch. I should've known better... And it’s the second time I get caught like stupid little bird... You should go on without me, I’m just slowing you down.”

Confused, Mechi also notices that Kioo isn’t nowhere to be seen.
>>
No. 460748 ID: 0006f5

ask if she knows how something like that could have happened to the watch, like, at what point did she -not- have it on her person ?? very strange. also, kioo missing is very strange

and it's less she's slowing everyone down as it is the all of you not being sloppy and being better off for it. everyone is sure to slip up and it would be great to know mirla is on the case; wink

dangit where is kioo .. im thinking it would be cool to scout out the order for possibly letting them in on the monster city plan
>>
No. 460777 ID: 7c1f5d

if there's anyone to blame here, it's Intrigo for the first time around and that ballfaced asshole for the second. and both times we both were caught. and on that note, I think the two of you went through enough together to be friends and friends don't leave each other behind for retarded reasons.

Mechi asks if Mirla knew that the watch was going to do prior to putting it on, or even after doing it.

“I... I don’t know. I should've noticed something was wrong with it when I started to hear and see weird things... But I guess I was too dumb to get the hints.”

Mechi tries to comfort her, telling her it’s not her fault, none of them saw it coming, and if there’s anyone to blame it’s that bastard of Intrigo for the first time and that obnoxious ballface for the second.

“ We've been through too much stuff to be leaving each other behind! And we should actually get going already, we've been sloppy enough here. Where is Kioo?”

The harpy looks relieved and a bit happier, but she shrugs. “I don’t know. After I woke up she asked if I was alright, and when I told her that kind of, she says “good” and walked away in that direction.”

The harpy points towards the east, through the trees. Mechi wonders if she should go after Kioo, just call her or just get moving, trying to find her on their way.

No. 460926 ID: bf54a8

Mechi decides to keep going on, keeping an eye out for Kioo, but not stopping to look for her. After all, she’s suspicious about the Doppleganger, and thinks she’s up to something.

After a few minutes going through the forest, the sun rays peek through the ceiling of leaves above, warming up the jelly mass that is Mechi’s body, making her feel pretty content, despites the misadventures of the past few days. Mirla seems to feel better as well, and soon she flies over the trees to scout around and stretch out her wings freely.

Mechi’s content train of thoughts is interrupted by Leo, who clears his throat to get her attention.

“Mechi” --He starts. “I think you should reconsider what you’re doing and where you should go next. I mean, I’m sure the plan with the empty town sounds very alluring, but as you must’ve noticed, the stone you posses is attracting unwanted attention. And I fear it’ll get worse. It’s going to lure more evil towards you, bad people that will try to take that from you. I think you should come with me, our sanctuary isn’t far from here. The gem --And you, of course, and you!-- will be safer there. And I’m sure the Abbot will be able to shed some light on the situation.”

He waits, expectantly, for Mechi’s answer.
>>
No. 470400 ID: f2c20c

Come to think of it, if we were to go to the empty town and try to set things up there, the orb would wind up luring people there that would fuck everything up, wouldn't it?

It's probably best if we went with Leo. We can trust him, since he went so far as to injure himself to try to save us.

Mechi decides to go with Leo. The lizard monk smiles and tells her that it’s the right choice. They wait for Mirla to come down from the clouds and they tell her the change of plans. She doesn’t seem to mind, so Leo leads the way.

He didn't lie, just a couple of hours later they cross a river and another patch of forest that leads into a small hill, where the monastery sits. It looks like an old structure, yer well preserved, and from here Mechi is able to see movement in the windows, walls and the open door.

They approach the door, guarded by a couple of monks that simply nod at Leo and let him in. Inside the main courtyard, all seems to be quite peaceful and silent. Monks walk up and down, minding their own business, not curious at about the nature of the two monstrous visitors. Leo bows and solemnly proclaims: “Welcome to the Sanctuary of The Last Days. Don’t worry, you’re safe here, at least for now. Would you like to rest a bit, see the place, or would you like to speak with the Abbot right away?”

It’s true, and with all the stuff happening last night, Mechi hasn’t had much time to rest! And after all that walking, she’s pretty tired. She tells that to Leo and he nods, understanding. They walk into the large courtyard, a square are surrounded by different buildings, and a few citrus trees. The place is very peaceful and silent, and Mechi can see the occasional monk walking among the trees, meditating or dedicated to their duties.

“The Guests room is on the first floor, first door to the right. Feel free to take a look around and rest there, the Abbot will be happy to see you tonight. Just... try to not burn the bed down.”

Leo gives a polite bow and disappears through a large door in the main building. Mirla glides down from the sky and sits next to Mechi. “Ok, now what? I’m kind of sleepy...”

Mirla hasn’t had much time to rest either, busy as she’s been almost getting eaten by a giant snake that night. But right now Mechi tries to decide what to do before going to their rooms. She could try to gather some information asking at some of the random monks, explore the place, or do something else?
>>
No. 471204 ID: f2c20c

Ask her if she saw anything interesting while flying around. Also, what's the general layout of this place, and is there only one entrance/exit?

Let's go chat up a monk and ask them what the order does exactly.

No. 471205 ID: 0006f5

Mechi doesn’t see any other exit than the other she came in, but she doesn’t know the layout of the entire place. As far as she knows, any of the buildings around the central courtyard could have a back exit. There seems to be a large garden behind open gates at the other side of the courtyard.

Mechi asks Mirla if she saw anything while flying around. The harpy looks a bit uneasy around here, probably not very confident being here in the open.

“No, nothing weird about this place. Doesn’t look like many people live here, I’ve only seen two or three monks walking around since we arrived... I don’t like being here too much, I think I’m going to hang out in the garden. I’ll be there if you need me.”

And with that the harpy flies off, leaving Mechi alone with her thoughts. Just then she notices one of the monks working on one of the walls, repairing a crack on it. The guy doesn’t seem to be pay any attention to Mechi. Should she try to catch his attention and ask him something or go explore on her own?

Go to the garden for the time being, and possibly spy on the "Church?" from said garden if possible. I think this will give us a lead/hint/reason to change plans or reinforce what we already think.
