Oh, hey, it’s Mizzit, the cat lady who has an extreme fear of being held upside down: >>/questarch/823383 !

>the sleeping drought must've failed!
Sounds like they spiked your food after all!

>What do?
As much as you want to, don’t shoot fire at Icker. Those orbs are the explosives and with the amount she’s holding, setting fire to them not only kill all of you, it would also be enough to bring down the castle!

Hmmmm... very difficult choice.

>Do not breathe fire on the bee.
Setting off those bombs could possibly kill everyone standing right now--and Icker even attempted to take her life to avoid prison--so intimidating/bluffing her to light the bombs prematurely won't faze her as well. Plus, the Paladin has a shield and could anticipate the breath attack and block it. I'm sure he knows a thing or two about Hydras.

>2 aim attacks
Instead, Remia and Mifal should breathe fire on the freedom fighter. She's an agile thing and could dodge one stream--so let two corner her and singe her butt.

>2 basic attacks
That shield needs to go next. But for now keep the knight distracted. Laret should use her trident for a basic attack. And let Solia try and bite onto his shield and whip it out of his hand!

>1 aim attack
Alright Fason. Icker could possibly run off and then you'd be stuck fighting these fools and lose time. Now that Mizzit and Knight are occupied--throw your second trident. Aim for the backpack she has and let all the bombs scatter on the floor. She's not armed it seems, at least not with a weapon to parry.

What now?

in case you couldn't tell, this quest will consist of me taking pictures of a bionicle in my real, actual house that i really, actually live in. as such, background objects may shift around and lighting may vary from panel to panel. if you guys try to enter a room i don't particularly want to take pictures of, i'll let you know. leaving the house is a possibility, but i'd have to switch to text-only if you go too far out. thank you for reading, and please be respectful of the aforementioned limitations during your interaction with the quest

Oh, it occurs to me that our group probably can't eat most of the mushrooms. If someone identified some of them as safe for consumption, then whoever's got that information can go help with the mushroom dishes to make sure to separate them into toxic and nontoxic portions. Then we can share properly!

eat first, make sure the mushrooms are safe enough for consumption, seque into asking Muir some very pointed questions after....

Then Kol should ask Three Horns if she's willing to share her binding spell with him. A private lesson, if you will.

Well, I didn't know, about the thing you asked. I don't know what it's like to want this. It's... good, to learn why you did. To see why a good person would want this existence.

And this is a date. You're supposed to ask personal questions and hope you don't say anything too upsetting.

I wouldn't use words like "just". Too judgmental, possibly really insensitive. Otherwise, asking the question is alright.

as far as not bad goes, the fact that you went through the effort to rationalize it being fine suggests you know it really isn't
she doesn't KNOW your sins but can generally sense them also you are CURRENTLY fine because you are not first on the list right now IE others have done worse.

>>949957
Nothing needs to be adjusted until we actually know what time it is. As far as we know, we’re currently in a room that doesn’t have a window.

Until we can confirm the time, the plan remains the same: Get The Fuck Out!

>>949961
Dammit, you're right. We only know from >>949402 that this is happening immediately after Ema scarfed down the last of the three thicc thief thots. And the only time reference I can find before that is from right when Ema left the library when she said it was the afternoon. So it could be either day or night out right now.

Justinia, steel your wits, for you just laid with a vampire. Well, unless there's some other being in this world that doesn't show up in reflective surfaces and drinks bottled blood. And either a particularly stupid or brazen one to keep mirrors around where a mortal could spot his lack of reflection. Just thank your lucky stars he wasn't feeling hungry enough to break the charade and take a bite mid coitus. And pray to any deity that'd hear you that you'll get outta here alive and free.

You better hope that vampires actually need to sleep and he's not faking it to toy with his prey before he pounces. Because if it's the latter, then he'll have heard all your shuffling around and sampling of his "special" wine, and he'll know you know what he really is.

Okay, first thought: Abandon any ideas of theft. You do not want to risk getting this guy after you. Now, first action: Get rid of any signs you sampled the "wine." If he's legit sleeping, you want to leave no evidence you know what he really is after you get outta here. Discreetly slug the glass back, lick it clean, wipe up any stray specks of blood, cork the bottle and put it all back exactly where it was. And keep your eyes glued on him the whole time, either in the mirror or directly.

Now, what you do next depends on whether it's still daylight or night time because there's a curfew after dark. One that's because folk kept disappearing after dark for the last decade, probably 'cause of vampires hunting 'em. So go out after dark and you'll either get caught by a hungry hunting vampire or nabbed by a city guard that'll then sell you to a vampire noble.

Either way, quietly get your clothes on and test the doorknob to check if it's locked. If it is, and the key isn't in the lock or nearby or it can be unlocked without a key from this side, then either h

>But even if you luck out and that works, you'd have the big problem of murdering a noble and having his kin and all the city guards after you.
The other problem would be that if that works, he’d explode and Justina would be covered with blood, which would make her stand out no matter what time of day it is.

And if what Kern and Athena said about accidentally ingesting vampire blood is true, then there’s a risk of Justina (who doesn’t know of any of this) turning into a vampire.

>>949943
Why do we need to have horror? Tantalizing hints from item lore is a thing, having a full dungeon section with a horror theme is an entirely different thing.

>>949945
Neither 1 or 2 are really significantly different from what we've been doing. The others are pretty solid, tho (fun fact: I initially read Bronzeklaw as "Brokenlaw")

I just realized something... If we make a lower level area akin to what we're thinking we'd do with Slimecrown Hamlet, you guys think we could send Mary (and maybe a construct or slime for backup) in as a test adventurer? That way she could gain a few levels while still being inside the dungeon proper, while fighting low level enemies instead of minmaxed adventurers. Plus it'd give her a good grasp of how to anticipate our customers needs.

Let's make Shortstack Forest. A Forest surrounding Slimecrown filled with shortstack waifus.

>>949945
I like 3-5 here. This both fleshes out the dungeon, adds more for lower leveled adventurers, and would set a precedent for adding non-slime-focused zones down the line.

One way we could try to help with the YUM immersion is proposing custom logos that would fit better in our dungeon.

>>949954
Very good idea

Nonono. Not multiplying, just many. You will meet many more.
Think of us as a helpful case of schizophrenia.

We're just voices though, you have the eyes. Tell us. What do you see?
What do you know?

Broken considers for a moment and he lets his eyes glow a brilliant green color
“alright as you have given me no reason to not trust you as of yet though you have confused and messed with me not on purpose I assume... and of course I don’t know how you got in my head... as for memories I remember nothing and scrolling through the memory of this right eye of mine shows me nothing of use... as for what I see... I see mountains of a glasslike smooth black substance which I believe is called obsidian and I see what I think are moons that must have been destroyed recently as they would have started to some what fix themselves given the time... there is no light as well just darkness one might call it but I don’t know if it would be called that here as it would just be nothing to compare it to... I doubt there is a sun...
broken reluctantly accepts your help he will listen to you but whether or not he acts as you tell him to is up to him

You seem to possess a number of abilities
>Convert
>Upgrade
>Rebirth
>Time manipulation (freeze or rewind/fast forward on a certain object)
>Dimensional level teleportation
do you know anything about these abilities

Broken sits his deadly tail swishing back and forth

Not exactly at least not all
The records I can find in this incomplete memory of the eye I know about the wraith species of which I believe it’s memory gets jogged when in the correct situation or near the correct item... I believe Convert is referencing the Wraith’s ability to convert the remnants of the dead...
It gives a good description for the time manipulation ‘perfectly freezes time items are extremely hard to move’ and the rewind/fast forward is limited to one item
Upgrade we have seen we will have to experiment at some point... I can’t find anything on rebirth other than prevents outside transformation... dimensional level teleportation... we will also have to experiment with as I can’t find- something is here and watching... an unnatural light... perhaps my previous assumptions were wrong...”
Broken tenses tail lifted into a striking position ready for battle

any limitations you know of on your abilities, as freezing opponents in time at will can easily be an exceptionally effective battle strategy

I don't think Fingers would want you to tell her where he was. Or you for that matter.

Tell her that you were busy training so that you could be as strong as her someday. Or something like that. An excuse mixed with some flattering.

“Redkho was getting hung. He only told me after it was done.”

“So he did exactly what I told him not to and went to the execution.” I nod and Junkyard clicks her tongue.

“I think he needs to talk to Ma’am about it. He started sayin’ some uh-” I cut myself off. “He’s got some troubles.”

“I’ll box his ears in, then we’ll see what kinda trouble he’s in then.” She snarls.

“Maybe don’t do that until I talk to Ma’am?” Junkyard gives a grunt that means she’ll do what I asked but doesn’t want to say it out loud.

“What did you need me for, anyway?” I ask

She glances around before answering. “I’ll tell you later. Just go up there and tell the roc- Ikthiss I’m done for the day.”

“Your shift done?”

“I do four times the work of anyone else, so I say I’m done. Just go make sure she doesn’t write me up or anything for ‘skipping work’.”

“We could go talk to her together. She’s not as bad as you think if you say the right things.” I say.

“If I have to see her smug fucking face one more time today I’m gonna to put my fist through it. Just say I got sick or something. She’ll believe you and she’s too lazy to check. I’ll meet you outside.”

“Ikthiss Silverlock, can we-”

“‘Of Silverlock’, Asher. I’m not literally this dumb mountain. Are you even on my crew today? Whatever, they’re whining in hole three so go help those dorks out.”

“I-”

“I swear every other day there’s some sermon or barbaric ritual of yours that takes up half the day and a third of my workers. No idea how they expect me to get anything done. What was it this time?”

“Th-”

“Wait, no. I don’t care. Just get down there and pick up the slack.”

She’s usually pretty lenient but she’s not in a good mood today. Leaving work without permission is a really bad charge if she decides to submit it, and when she’s like this she’ll probably do it. I can make up a lie, but if she does check it’ll blow up in our faces. I could say we’re going to the execution but I don’t know when it’ll end and if her workers come back and we’re not with them we could still get in trouble. Telling the truth might satisfy her, but since I still don’t know where Junkyard wants to take me it’ll sound really weak. Worst case scenario I can call in a favor but that’s… only if absolutely nothing else works.

>>949950
If she's in a bad mood she'll probably check. Tell truth, say something like Longyard wants you for something important. Offer favor if that doesn't work.
Maybe you can soften her up by asking her what's gotten her grumpy? Anything you can help with?

She's not even aware if you're in her crew or not. Say you're going to the execution and if you don't come back with the others she probably won't notice.

You kink an eyebrow at her. "Is that a challenge?"
She leans over. "Hell yes."
You smile as you lean back. "I might have a drink first."
She winks. "Sure, this one's on the house, you'll be paying Wulf back later I'm sure."
You sip the beer she pours you and think.
Wulf's a big ugly bastard and a good friend of yours. You came to this town when you were about 16, not a penny in your pocket and not a friend in sight. Wulf let you stay the night in his inn, a night that became several weeks once you started working as a waitress, then as a dancer.
You've still got coins stashed away from that time, your incredible dexterity made you almost rich, and with Wulf's encouragement you spent much of it on gear.
Wulf was an ex-adventurer, and didn't really teach you how to swing a sword or shoot a bow, he taught you how to not get killed by a bearman eleven feet tall.
Sometime during your training, teenage hormones being what they are, you ended up bent over his counter top screaming his name. He was your first, and you blame him for your, well, you don't want to say sex ADDICTION, but you will say he left you with one hell of an itch that needs scratching. And you've done PLENTY of scratching around frostfall, the name of this town, a town in the middle of nowhere but large enough that it gets regular trade and plenty of immigrants when the winter gets cold enough.
Not that the cold bothers you.

Ok, time to do some First Aid. Then you can open the cage and get whatever is in there with the corpse.

The plan was to lower your tail to him, right? Do that. It looks like you’re heavy enough that you don’t need to find anything to anchor yourself.

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?

Yeah, we can make fun of these guys behind their back all we want, but we should avoid fucking around when they're right in front of us, except when we're deliberately trying to piss them off, but especially when the Primogen in question is the one that's supposed to be paying us. Introduce yourself by full name, along with Rocket.

I say bring Basmati along. She can get a sample look at their tech.

We aren't. Is this the only event of its type, or have other houses reported somthing similar?

Translation: This guy's fam has sunk a lot of money and manpower into the colony. These other guys have been trying to seize the colony in some manner for a while and is generally douchey to all the families in the name of centralization. This guy wants you to head in there and figure out A) What happened, and B) Whether it was the centralizing douches' fault (get evidence if "yes"), and all without tracing it back to him.

I've got two main questions.
"Since all this tech is alien to us, we wouldn't know where to begin searching, so could you maybe point us in the right direction for that?"

Personally I'd rather not stay, I have no desire for vengeance, just at this point want Ana safe.

I don't know, Ana. I think at this point, telling the truth about AJ might be for the best with all things going on, especially with finding out Prime is getting an upper hand in these cycle's war and getting stronger still. If anything, we might be able to balance things out... but I'm not sure... We can only hope for the best.

For my answer for Lorence, I want to tell him: we’ve sworn not to tell anyone about AJ , not because of AJ himself, but rather other people who would take an interest in him, and if those people get a hold of him, then it spells doom for the world. We only ask AJ can leave with us and live a better life and prevent being corrupted by this world.

I think Lorence will know what kind of creature AJ is after that statement...

if he asks something along the lines of why we wouldn't leave with AJ to where Dervan is in the first place, tell him It's partly because we were nervous about taking Dervan's offer at first, as we didn't know how he would try to use AJ at all once we go to him and he finds out.

"Arriving after dark" doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world, assuming there's at least some slight shelter at the pillar itself. Get over there; your pace is dilly-dallying as is. Oh, and throw on your layers now; yeah, it might get a bit toasty in the meantime, but that will become a boon after dark.

Are these the same shipping containers as before? You never did look at that one that was upended, and there is still the matter of that giant glowing mutant beast that comes out at night.

Are we worried about the ichor beast? I don't know if continuing on is the best bet. Maybe we should take shelter without fire inside a container on the edge of the salt.

If we continue straight into the dust, we will be really visible, but the benefit is that anything after you will be visible too. Then again, would we be able to step to a creature? Or maybe banditos?

“Let’s go to the hot tub for now, but... I hope you don’t misunderstand me. I know trying to discover who “my past self” was is an oxymoron, but that’s not what I’m looking for; I just want to know who died to make me, and why. That’s it. Just morbid curiosity and a desire to seek closure. In fact, I feel the same way looking at any of you guys just as much as when I look in the mirror; we’re all living evidence of various crimes which probably have yet to be explained, and I have a burning curiosity for that sort of thing in general. If I do ever find out what happened to that person who preceded me, regardless of what happened to her, I doubt I’ll be too affected by it. She’s just a body in the morgue for me to examine.”

It might be better not to press Roz for about her past. Hop into the hot tub and relax some more with Roz.

I'd think of it, like... that person wasn't you, but like a twin sister that you never met. You'd still want to know, right?

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.

Well, you're fucked. They know your face, and you've likely left more than enough evidence behind. Still may as well run for it and see how far you get.
