As you enter his shop, the pungent odor of raw fish fills the room. It’s bad enough to make you cough and gag a bit.

Malcolm: “Ah just in time Eugene! Hurry over to the wash tub and get cleaning. The otter knight’s just put in a huge order for shark attractant! Those gluttonous sardine cans dare to tempt fate and bring home a most dangerous meal.”

Your muzzle scrunches up in disgust, forcing you to cover your nose even! You ask Malcolm how he can stand such a foul scent permeating through the shop.

Malcolm: “You get used to it with time. Now quit the bellyaching and start scrubbing those vials as we agreed. Surely this isn’t more vile than your own spray?”

You try to joke, saying your spray is a smell you’ve gotten used to over time as well. You then ask if the stain remover has been taken care of?

Malcolm: “Eugene, of course I took care of your stain remover. You did pay for top priority after all. Now enough flapping of the gums. I need those vials cleaned, all of them!”

You sigh and turn around. Looking at the pile of dirty vials, it dawns upon you that this might not be a simple quick wash, rinse, and dry. There’s a massive pile them! It’s going to be quite the time investment to handle this job.

Do you:

>Back out of the deal and apologize, let Malcolm keep your full payment for top priority
>Apologize and offer to help wash about half of them, explain time is short.
>Steel yourself and conquer the mountain of dirty glass! No garment nor glass will be spared the wrath of your sudsy cleaning skills
>Offer to prepare the fish instead and put Malcolm on cleaning duty instead
>Something else?

Something Else: Ask to borrow their vial holders. Fill the tub with soapy water and carefully dunk the vials in batches using their vial holders. Fashion a sponge-on-a-stick to give the interiors an extra do-over.

Perhaps you will be inspired to create a tool for such washing, or a machine even.

Also, get a clothes pin for your assaulted nostrils.

>>1133023
that could work

but if not then just do the job right

This is a bigger job than we were led to believe and we got stuff to make still. And real talk I don't wanna give anybody ammunition to say we do actually smell bad.

>>1133022
This is definitely a time to save!
I would apologize and wash about half of them, but you maybe could eat with Mr. Malcolm and split the spinach and corn as Raccoons are known to love corn? Washing then eating would be two birds with one stone, and food usually gets people to be nicer about paying off debts on a better day.

>>1133611

Oh, yeah! Have the wendigo suplex Brett!

Afterwards, have him roar while showing his sculptured abs, followed immedeatly by the scene of an Algonquian shedding a tear as the wicked spirit from his people's traditions that possessed the greedy and the cannibals, a creature serving as a cautionary tale against preying upon one's fellow man, is being sexualized by the offsping of the colonizing devils.

Now introduce a sexy villainess to rake in the goons.
She'll shove Dean down the stairs and then peg Kimberly in the ass with her stiletto high heels, shouting at the Wendigo to stop clowning around and deer him to death.

>>1133638
That seems like a twist useful for later in the movie, should the protagonists defeat or kill the Wendigo, only to realize it wasn't the only one - there's a whole pack or 'family' of them around.

Or one of the teens is a cannibal themselves (and possibly slowly becoming a Wendigo, or the 'offspring' of one) and the Wendigo leave them alone as they brought more prey for them to hunt.

Right now, one monster to focus on, no dividing the attention of the audience.

>>1133638
Why sexy vilaness when we can have 'Amazon Mommy' Wendigo to go with hunk Wendigo. Possibly as an even more violent creature than the male one, should the teens manage to defeat it.

Oh, there's a character we entirely neglected until now - Frank Wilkins! He was searching for the teens / waiting for them to reconvene at the cabin to tell the whole story of whats going on.

He could be useful if we need Brett or the girls to be rescued from imminent death by the Wendigo, shooting or harpooning the beast and forcing it to flee.

The alternative is that he IS the Wendigo (or allied with them), and wanted to lure the teens over to one spot...

> Does she know you were dreading having to manage her insipid scheme? That's about the only thing related to Silver which you totally didn't act on, while some random monster conveniently removed your loose end's entire hand.
I can’t imagine she does.
…
It’s ridiculous to even consider. How would she even know?
………
Unless… could she already have spies among the mercenaries? No, that’s silly. I only just learned of their location how would she have embedded a spy? Regardless, it’s not even been an hour since I switched my eye from the toiler to the valkin. Even if Silver had managed to infiltrate their ranks to learn what happened to her patsy and assuming the spy would be aware of why she would matter at all there hasn’t been enough time for her to receive that information. It’s conceivable through magic but again I can only conclude ‘no’. I certainly don’t watch through her eye very often but I’ve never seen even a hint that she’s dabbled in such heresy with her own hands or through an intermediary. It would be too big a weakness if Steel learned of it and wanted to depose her. Maybe-

>Otherwise you've been nothing but genuine to her. Does she not believe your Martinets have been fused to the wall?
Genuine is a bit strong of a word but-

>That's what you wanted her help with, right? Does she think you're hiding the fact that the toilers are revolting, due to overzealous labor extraction on part of the mongers?
No, I-

>Because I think she can see that from all the collapsed mines. She doesn't know you have an eye on her, does she?
Quiet!

Im torn over you.
I admire your abandoned goal to tear this place down, i even admire just aiming to gain your own freedom.
But, im not happy about poor asher.
That said, theres more than you to blame for how it went.

There is something ive noticed were significantly better than you at.
Maybe its because were not trying to keep so many plates spinning, but we havent missed any words like you do when lip reading through your eyes.

Oh, and your faith in numbers over technology is, unfortunately, as naive as your dream of tearing down the mountain.
Weapons are called force multipliers for a reason.
And it gives asymettrical warfare a distinct advantage.
The tip of their spear will be small enough to slip into places larger forces would falter and be murderously sharp, so to speak.
I dont say this to cause you undue distress. Well.
Maybe a little, because im still grumpy about asher, but not much.

In the same way your dream of tearing down the mountain was tempered by experience into something more acheivable...
Right now, you are as inexperienced in facing weapons like these as younger self was the realities of life in your mountain.
And, its worth remembering, technology develops with the pace of a rockslide, especially under the motivation of war.
Little bits at first, a percievable quicker slide of larger things... then before you can react a rumble and youre crushed.
Well, worth considering, eh?

>>1128536
No dice. Been trying to convince this fella to change his mind about his deeds and self all morning.
So far, he is deciding whether his stance should be "I don't care" and "Maybe I should start hating that Asher girl since you won't shut up about her."

C'est la mort, or whatever it is they say.

So!
I suppose we should discuss strategy with Silver on what to do while we wait for the Preceptors to gather.
Also, probably check back on what Steel and Haddik are doing right now, if we have the time.

>my mo- mentor.
D'awww! You almost said it.
Let's hope she feels the same way.
Who knows, she may even arrange for your exile instead of your execution if you get caught!

Gatezi strides ahead and opens the gate to the lift for her master and takes position next to the controls. Silver follows them inside, turns, and wait. The gate is left wide open of course. The lift can’t move until I join them and close it.

A childish impulse to slam it shut passes through me before my hand can twitch. My outburst didn't pluck at a single nerve in her heart. The consequence of avoiding her is that my emotional calluses have deteriorated. I'll need to sharpen my wits quickly to not get caught completely in her wake.

I take a moment to compose myself before joining them. My annoyance is kept to trying to crush the banister in my fist instead starting an argument I won't win.

>Also, probably check back on what Steel and Haddik are doing right now, if we have the time.
It’s barely been a few minutes since I last checked. I doubt much has changed.

>Maybe its because we’re not trying to keep so many plates spinning, but we haven’t missed any words like you do when lip reading through your eyes.
In the decades I’ve been cursed with you critters and the thousands of shapes you’ve taken barely a dozen of you have actually proven capable of reading. I doubt lips are easier than letters. No, I will not follow you down another path of nonsense today. Too much is happening.

>Oh, and your faith in numbers over technology is, unfortunately, as naive as your dream of tearing down the mountain.
No faith is necessary to know that when the blood is finished being shed the Preceptors will still be standing. The flaws of my brethren are numerous and disgusting. Self-preservation, however, is their greatest skill.

Ooh, we are going to visit the big boss?!
And he's male?, I thought the Prophet would be genderless like the god, since folk said they were both alike.

Maybe you should ask Silver how she feels about her own performance as a ruler, since things got so bad in so little time, and now we have to inform him of this whole clusterfuck.

And since you keep blowing off our ideas, let's turn things around and give you a proposal. One that works for you and you alone.

Being powerful enough to be left alone for however long you live is untenable. It's just waiting out your existence.
We have two full-blown rebellions going on at once, we will never get a chance like this again!

We can help you, full-commitment and full-results, to change your life forever and for the better.
But you have to make a choice.
And you have to stick to it.

Will you manipulate everyone against each other to:
1) Avenge yourself and kill every last one of those who wronged you.
or
2) Finally ecape this underground misery cesspool.

This city is already dying. We might as well tilt it's falling corpse in the direction we want.
What do you say, oh voices, which one should he pick?

Vitka found a staircase hidden behind some shelves. Luckily he was small enough to squeeze behind the shelves.

The place is messy, but among the mess, he finds a weird thing up there that catches his eye. Something with animal bones and beads tied up in string and has a little bit of oil(?) on it. Might get a splinter from the sharp bones if he isn’t careful…

>>1133487

oh man, he's gonna lick ALL the brittle-chips then jump out at us from behind something when we least expect it, isn't he?

He found the secret entrance to the slave pit

Well, Del, time to earn the respect of your little siblings!

Lead by example and go investigate where Vikta went.
Take Enko with you, he is the King Priest, after all, and also blind. That means he is impervious to seeing anything spooky! :D

Try to remember the last time you saw him.

>>1133551
C) You can't expect me to pick between two beauties like that...it would be like having to choose between the sun and the moon.

Oof, this is a dilemma, if we go with Nissa, imprisoned knight might get angry with us and start holding a grudge. Going with imprisoned knight will get Nissa gossiping about us and Imprisoned knight. Hmmm.

Well, considering the imprisoned knight probably only wants to sleep with us to get us to help her with convincing the guild to get her rank back up...

B. Ask the imprisoned knight if you still assisted her with her request, would it be alright if you sleep with Nissa for tonight?

If imprisoned knight agrees, and leaves with the bread, quietly be like *sigh...* I really wanted that bread...

C) Can we make a compromise?

B) Heroine was here first. Nissa is acting like she has some claim, but they aren't dating, if that's what she wants she should have said so. If she wants to talk about it later then ok, but it would be rude to send the hero away after already agreeing to this.

>>1133551
D) THREESOME A-GO-GO!

2B, but you'd love to have a drink with katie after

3. Lemurs are underrated.

B. I want Katie to join us, and that the song Bad Reputation by Joan Jett starts playing exactly three minutes after the dinner begins.

3C - Tigress and Redcap are both leashed on chains by you (Tigress by her manacle, Redcap by collar).

>>1133576
I realize I messed up.

The option for a special request I want is C, not B.

I don't know how I mixed those up.

>>1133558
The owner of this place certainly has a talent for entertaining guests! Not that it will earn her any mercy. By our honor as a luchadora, the firm hand of justice will fall upon her naughty hindquarters! After we're done appreciating this adorable waitress.

3C: Command Redcap and Katie against Jenna the lemur.. We could surely win this challenge on our own, but we should save our strength for our true quarry. And as long as we have minions to command, why not have some fun with them?

>>1133580
This is a perfect idea to spice up our match! Lead each of our pets by a chain leash during the fight. It would be a delightful look for them, and we could get creative with the chains against an agile foe...

>>1133303
*Expensive

>>1133303
Oooh! Merman could help!

Contemplate why Grem wants shiny axe / wealth. Why are shiny things good? They are heavy, too soft to cut with and Gnolls/other Kobolds will want to beat you up for them. How does the shiny enrich Grem?

Don't lift the axe, drag the axe.

Drag it aaaaaall the back to the tree fellow. Use your pain in your favour. Channel all the anger at those mean gnolls and your crushed dreams.

Let the anger fuel you into doing what must be done.
One day you will be a mighty wizard, and turn them into tasty moss. And it all begins with dragging this axe.

>>1133297
Grem! The shiny axe is a perfect gift!
And the merman has big muscles so will be able to pick it up easy!

Porala gathers whatever the elves say they need to start a fire.
It'll have to be a quick fire, air down here's pretty cold.

Cuddle up ladies. Snuggle close. Contact shares warmth.

>>1133439
Yep.
She can find what they need. Maybe even something edible.

>>1133438
Build a fire if she knows how, if not find soft plant material to make a layer between the elves and the stone floor, hang clothes to dry.

Taping into the arcane? What does that means? She can do magic or is like a poisoning?

Ooh, does Porala know how to create a bubble around a small area?
If she does, she could cast one around the elves and shelter them a bit from the cold air.

Well, since you've got your slobber all over it, might as well make a bone broth from the remains.

Find a way to sabotage the remaining weave in the bones. Someone will recycle them into greater undead abominations, but if you can poison the magic animating it, you might be able to do something conniving.

>>1133382

Marrow's probably all gone in these old bones.

Tanna, did you notice any yellow threads glowing on the skeleton while you were biting into it?

Examine the spine for a second and see if they're still there.

>>1133370
See slinky?
Friends.
They even appreciate you all fearsome.

And, oh boy oh boy, you were fearsome there.
Got a nice look at your teefs.
And got to see your 'got mah prey' face too.

Can you see what the bone head was trying to reach before you take the next target?

Fox here.

...Holy fuck that was badass and hot as hell.

>>1133291
Inner thoughts: You just hit the nail on my entire life. I ask myself that everytime I ask the questions, "Why do I do this? Why would anyone do this?" I've tried explaining it to people- The things that I have done. Awful, evil, obscene. The telling of them alone could make one puke. They nag at me from time to time. I tell myself I had good reasons. But the years pass, the unimaginable becomes everyday, the hideous becomes tedious, the unbearable becomes routine. I push it all into the dark corners of my mind. And it's incredible; the room back there. Amazing. What one can live with. I'd tell you all this but i've been brushed off so many times about it I almost I see no point in explaining it. Oh well.

You just told me how to kill you out of sheer frustration and impotent anger. I'll keep that in mind.

To answer your... tantrum, Who's team do I want to win? Its so funny how you categorize me into categories as though I fit just one. The Tribunal is full of sycophants, they may not care about me but there's more people in their ranks who are honorable that are worth the time. Absolution Prime, I may torture people but I get no pleasure out of it. I've met sadists before, they disgust me. If Andrew was to destroy the world? It'd be a shame, but I wouldn't care. Why be mad at an asteroid that is on a collision course? It's a force a nature. It doesn't mean we shouldn't try to stop it however.

A better question instead of who I want to win for, is why do I want to win? I was brought in to bring a criminal to justice. That is what I still intend to do if I live. If I die, I die. Once give my word to do something, I don't fall back on it. That's it.

Assuming Corax is the solitary person the world was created to imprison, won't shooting him result in either all the prisoners going free (and potentially getting bacl at you for any misdeeds), the prison and all priosners (you included!) ceasing to exist, or the warden of the prison getting very angry their charge waa shot, killed, or 'freed'?

And if its not a prison for Corax, causing trouble in the prison may still attract attention if the prisoners containment is considered at risk (e.g. if a 'prison riot' starts).

I dunno guy, it kinda seems like he doesn't care about you

Hey let's uno reverse. Who do YOU want to win pal? How does shooting Corax help? Oh and you're assuming people can't be on a team with just themselves.

omg they put a hanafuda reference in the video game. they got the moon and the storm and one of the ribbons over there that's awesome

The Scary Robot Factory games always have loved their card puzzles, getting stale

That's the ESP deck, on the left? I know the square, the star, the circle, and the plus, but don't know the one on top

Love the spooky ambiance! Who's the mewsic composer for the game?

user:admin
password: 12345 or 94734

Oh I figured out what that weird card is on the ESP pile. It's a zener diode symbol. So the username could be Zener! Zener/94734 seems most likely. If I could make out all the tarot cards I'd try to include them since they also correspond to numbers, but nope.

I'll take this back and would delete it if I could, as I thought of a better suggestion but it doesn't really make sense along with that one:

>HOW DO YOU THINK A DUNGEON WOULD GET LAID?!
That reminds me, I don't think you've told us the origin of dungeons and their spread. Was every existing dungeon crafted via magical means, were they spontaneously spawned during the world's creation, or do they have some form of reproduction? Dungeons can't move on their own, so it's hard to imagine how it's possible, asexual or not. Unless... the Dungeon Game is part of the process, and adventurers work as pollinators of a sort? Plus the new core has to be moved to a new location so you don't have an overlapping dungeon layout... I'd guess the denizens would be responsible for that.

“So, about the major players in Ashbrook: Eyriee, Marquise, Woodland, Underground Duchy? What’s your personal stance on them?”

Sam gives me a look as if he’s expecting something in return for what he’s about to say.

“Well.. Personally, I’d say that the Woodland is the most mortally right. Sure, they may be comprised of mostly denizens and lack initiative, but they do truly look at local issues and try the best they can to compromise on that subject.”

“Marquise, Mmm, they're pretty tricky; On one hand, quite tricky, they are the most stable, but it’s run by a multi-continent spanning empire that sees us as a means to an end.”

“Eyriee..” He looks at me with a curious glance, as if he’s expecting some sort of reaction for what he’s going to say.
“Eyriee are outdated, old, and still have the moral character of multiple rich posh nobles fighting over whether who get’s the biggest slice of cake, while having the privilege to eat cake.”
I wish to say something, but I keep my lib shut, he continues.

“And the Duchy? It’s not really a name I’ve heard of, besides some traders, and friends talk about them, but I’ve never met them in the flesh.”

“And you?”

We nod, stopping right there, but we give each other smaller, more generalized snippets of information while on the road, hoping to inspire some semblance of curiosity in the other and extract it for future favors.

We eventually reach the inn where we once met. I quickly go to the innkeeper and finish renting my room; Sam does the same, and we both go into our separate rooms to prepare for exploring the town. I switched from my dress to another, less intense tunic, mainly to appear a bit less luxurious, and if I wish.. I can dance with it later.
Also I'd be better in case we get into any kind of trouble, as I step out of the inn and into the sun-light, It feels a bit nice to not have the expectations of political intrigue, so close to my mind, even if it’s for this evening.

Sam follows me closely to the side, before smiling, and saying with an joking edge:

“Allright, Oh Duchy Kumi of Rooflandia, you have won the grand prize of a detailed tour of your choice of location within bloom-heaven. led by yours, truly!”

“You sound like a jester, cut it out.”

“Yeah, but I can see the little smirk on your face, telling me that your enjoying this.”

The underground ring sounds like it could be interesting. Perhaps there's even some higher ranking folk or even members of nobility attending. Fights like that might be ripe with gambling opportunities, which in turn could be some good blackmail for any noteworthy folk there.

To think such opulence as this room could fall in the hands of the Silvermaker clan is infuriating.

Do we have anyone we can trust if we leave the fortress to pursue this investigation?
We don't have a child but is there someone else?

Heck yeah, unlimited food budget. This means we can afford the 50c fee to call Avery over for lunch, and make this a three-way discussion on what Mina saw while in a cozy, safe environment and comfort foods.

From there we form a three-person ghost/kidnapper hunting team.

Ask Mina if she knows of any Hollowers or is related to any Draculas. She certainly needs a badass stylish red coat/cloak as well if she's going to be your future sidekick, put that in the 'future investments' department.

Gas station food, huh. They have any meat sticks? Some sort of packaged crap that would fill you up. Chips? No... granola bars? Protein bars, maybe? They don't have one of those hot dog warming racks, do they?

Not sure how infestations are handled in the US, but yeah, if there is a Typhus-causing bug infestation in the building, the landlord might have to flat out fumigate the place. This would mean Kaari has no apartment until the infestation is cleared, though.

There's also the fact that the flea infestation was directly caused by the water being shut off, which is either the fault of the landlord (i.e. they can't blame Kaari for being unable to do basic hygiene), or the water company doing it on their own without the landlords input (which is probably something they can bitch about to the water company instead of Kaari).

There's also the third conspiratorial possibility of the criminals having access to the water valves somehow, and Kaari's lack of water is purposeful sabotage rather than the landlord or water company's doing.

Either way, worth asking a professional about the process / how a biohazard apartment is generally handled, legally or otherwise.

Also worth asking how transmissive they are (in case they start to infest Lana's apartment).

Asking about preventative measures maybe. Of the 'I don't have much money' and 'I don't have access to water' kind?

Ask for flea suit of your own

2) test it while on the date, there'll be plenty more ppl to choose from

It is professionally dilligent to check all your equipment is on working order so...
Stare professionally

Still voting 2, but if we absolutely have to use it to test if it works, do it only on Tina.

Do we get to do a 'scan' of the desert before we choose our summoner, or are we going fully blomd?

Between novice and expert, considerations. Novices are weaker, easier to manipulate, and much more open to experimentation/risks (of the sorcerous and debaucherous type, if debauchery helps you directly), but are also likely to need infernus ex machinas, luck or guidance to win over someone with more experience/power. They're also unpredictable wildcards, but that's not strictly a bad thing. A rough start and weak initially, but massive potential for powerscaling or breaking the system. And very much a lottery.

The experienced meanwhile, while having a good and stable start and capable of performing EXTREME acts of power or debauchery, will be more restrained, harder to manipulate and less likely to take risks, chances, or 'waste time' on debauchery. They'd likely be a 'practical but boring' stick in the mud and fight you on every step. Or they might get a sudden power trip and get offed in a moment of weakness/stupidity.

So overall the novice likely fits the role better if we want WILDCARD FUN. More risks and things opponents won't see coming or dare try. More open to corruption or advice. Biggest risks are an early death, or being hesitant to engage in extremes.

*Fully blind, even. How much info can we get off the bat to let this summoner 'cheat' with? Just what he knows, or do we get a wider scope of the world?

Secondary question, what does our summoner NEED (not want) to succeed at our ultimate goal? Raw power? Knowledge? Ability to 'exploit' the world and status quo?

And which of those three are we best suited to provide (or bluff, if we have to compromise)?

this one seems fun

You honor us, many-tongued Ho'kaoko, with your mastery of carnal arts. Quite an elegant body you've formed, and so expertly wielded! And should you ever present to us your manhood as well, or whatever other genders you wish, it would be a most welcome sight indeed.

Poor Rakathel, bound by law and necessity to be used by those above him, powerless to save others from crueler fates at the hands of Akamak, all in the hopes that those he cares for will have a better life. Little wonder that his thoughts invited Aphannit, trader of need and desire. How sweet it would be to grant his weary soul a bit of relief, to be the means by which he indulges his own desires for a change... But he's not the one we came here for, is he?

I advise you to seek a weak and inexperienced summoner to give us more flexibility in how we approach our goal. We came here to pilfer Akamak's magical cornucopia, and while a stronger summoner could grant you more power, it would be quite troublesome if their goals don't align with ours. Better to be bound by someone you can work around.
