Well, they beat the Phantom Curi. That's an impressive achievement.
> Queen's Resolve: The fragmented core of Curi, a sign of her unwavering dedication to her kingdom and her people. Give to the consort of your choice to endow them with royal might... or perhaps...

Basically, you can give the core to one of the princesses to power them up for the boss fight. You could also try absorbing it yourself, but who knows what whacky things that might do. When wielded as a talisman, it allows you to sway slimes loyal to Slimecrown.

>>1111188
>>1111187

Oh, right. It's been so long that I forgot about the Cinders of Ambition. The Queen's Resolve should absorb them. It will do the same with each daughter. Something like, Mirelle's Ambition, Rosa's Wisdom, and Sophie's Love together could make an excellent queen. For a Queen who for so long ruled alone with a broken heart, her children made her whole.

alternatively:
-Royal jelly. Eating it makes you a slime queen, even if you weren't a slime before. Could legitimize one of the princesses' claims to the throne. Could turn the first DM's ability to take massive amounts of slime into an even bigger buff.

The three of you continue along the path and, although nothing in particular happens, you can’t shake the feeling that something about what you’re doing is wrong. Perhaps unnatural would be a better way to describe it. Perhaps it's the tension between your allies, or perhaps the unfamiliar paramilitary force occupying an unknown location, or maybe that you aren’t sure when you’ll come across this ‘Engelkind’ that’s ‘downstairs’ or what that will mean, but something is distinctly off about this whole affair.

You don’t have too long to ponder this, as before long, you come to some happening.

The path stretches out before you. At the end (as far as you can see) there is a group of WOLAND soldiers with their backs turned to you. They all seem to have weapons drawn and ready.

About halfway between the soldiers’ formation and where you’re standing, there is an opening on the right. Your keen hearing tells you that some sort of machine is humming away there.

Closer towards you on the left, there is another opening. You can hear some murmurs coming through from whatever’s at the end of it. You can’t make out any words, but one of the voices is strangely recognisable. Not a voice you hear every day, but most certainly a voice you’ve heard before.

“Is that..?” Mary begins “No, no, nevermind.”

I think that there is a member of the Executive up ahead. I can sense their energy.

The soldiers up ahead are so focused that they probably won’t notice you sneaking up behind them until you’re in sniffing distance.

You raise a good point actually. What even is our name, anyhow? I feel like it couldn’t hurt to properly introduce ourselves. As for where to go… that familiar-but-not-TOO-familiar voice sticks out to me as something worth investigating.

>something wrong, unnatural
I mean, yeah, Erica sure looks weird, but maybe there's an explanation. Did this feeling start suddenly when Mary joined, or was it building gradually after pacifying Erica? Well, even if Erica is an impostor (which does not match her behavior unless it's a self-delusion) we're gonna need more than Mary's help taking it down. It's possible the creature's self-delusion will break if you bring up its weird appearance, so don't do that before we get extra help.

>crossroads
Hmm. Ask Mary how sure she is that Erica is an impostor. Erica's appearance is certainly abnormal but it could simply be advanced cybernetics, or body alteration caused by an anomaly. Has Mary met her before, or something? Explain that Erica was initially hostile, not stating that she was the Collector-General until she saw your badge. Would an impostor do that?

Come to think of it, if we bring up Erica's appearance now, and she becomes hostile, we can flee to WOLAND to get their help. (even though they're not really allies)
If Erica has a good explanation for why she looks like that, Mary accepts it, and the wrongness subsides, then... hmm, actually. I'm suspicious of the left path. What does Mary think it is? It sounds familiar to you, somewhat familiar to Mary, and feels like an Executive to Erica, but is it possible that it's a mimic that generates a feeling of familiarity to lure in victims? (if Erica is something similar then meeting another one of them would be very bad)
If the wrongness subsides *and* you can't agree on what the left path feels/sounds like, then we go right and investigate the machine.

Look, weather one or both of you are some kind of skinchanger isn't important right now. We're here to stop Woland from committing crimes.

Should investigate the semifamiliar voice

Something is definitely off. Many things, in fact.

Why is Mary so confrontative and potty mouthed, now?

AAnd where did that crazed WOLAND executive she was fighting go to? Shouldn't falling through that pit have gotten him hurt? Shouldn't Mary be hurt?

Andalso, if Erica is an impostor, why wait until *we* risked our necks offering a truce to work together?

Many things off, indeed!

....Oh, and we should sneak by climbing a tree and spying from the canopy. No one ever checks the canopy.

Now is the perfect time for an experiment:
Can robots get pregnant. Put a baby in that cutie.

...if she consent first, of course. Hack her to always tell the truth then ask.

You don't have many options other than AHN, since she's the only one who knows you have the HAX chip, and it's dangerous to let anyone else know. So it's either

1. Try it on her, knowingly
2. Try it on someone else, unknowingly
3. Don't try Active Mode

This is a good point, we need better clothing to explore the frozen island. Deserts get really cold at night, so Mainefalis must have something, even if it's just nice blankets we can make a robe out of.

Wasnt everything turned to dust and rust though?

Galena, see if you can make observations of the velocity of Mainefalis and the frozen island, as well as the rate of change of the temperature here. I would like to get an estimate of how long until closest point of approach, and whether the temperature on our island will be survivable at that point. This will inform our decision.

My default action would be for Silv go to go the frozen island tomorrow, as I suspect we are in danger from the ice and have limited time to address it. If this is not the case, she should accompany you.

The weapons and armor are well received as sturdy, after finishing her examination the giant nods "Herocea can make use of payment" of course the giant can't truly appreciate the craftmanship.
"Herocea is ready to fight, Give orders and will follow." her voice bellows.

Oragatt considers her next step.
does it matter the location of the ambush? perhaps the time? should any other preparations be made?

Location matters, and night is usually best for an ambush. Now is the time to go scouting ambush sites.

>>1109478
Consult with Herocea. She knows her combat prowess best; she can identify the right situation where she can take advantage of her height and durability.

>>1109494
Seconding this, check with Herocea. She's fought these folks before, see from her point of view what went wrong during the last fight and try to identify how to tip the odds in her favor.

I think the implication is that the third eye can see through whatever's directly in front of it. Presumably there's a limit to that though, maybe related to the concept of being blinded. Can't see through walls etc.

>>1110292
I dunno how literal the suits analogy is, but ours (we the peanut gallery) would be the power of the Seven of Cups. Whether this means that Fera Is the seven of cups, that Fera wields the powers of the suit of Cups, or if Fera is a seeker that otherwise has access to the power of the Seven of Cups for whatever reason has yet to be seen.

It should be noted that at the beginning of the quest it was established that Gladii *chose* not to hear us, so the idea that the peanut gallery is exclusively Fera's possible thoughts should be questioned.

If I'm not totally off base about this Seven of Cups thing, then Gladii won't be able to insert her ear-piece without our prompting (not that she'd want to) and she won't be able to make any significant decisions on her own. To me this means Fera must take point.

Actually... With all this Seven of Cups pondering... Fera. What exactly does that earpiece of yours connect to? Why don't you check? Just make sure to pop it back in once you find it, please.

I think Gladii going first is best. When she gets affected by the anomaly you'll have forewarning and then you can blind yourself to avoid it. She can't do that.

Check if she can wear the goggles over her third eye, if so then it can be spraypainted and used as a blind fold that doesn't require closing her eye.

Just now catching this, an EXACT color palette swap when you inserted the card? Looking at the original extraction of the card from David, a similar glow occured, but in that case, your colors didn’t fully swap. I have no clue what it means yet, but I find it intriguing that using your power switches your hair color to EXACTLY Gladii’s skin color, and using it on Gladii switches their skin color to EXACTLY your hair color. My theory is the two of you are intrinsically linked somehow? Other than being on the same case together, I mean. But that’s PURE speculation.

No choice but to look around. But it’s probably best to start with the obvious.


“What’s in that box over there?”
Davey cracks the rusted toolcase open, but outside of a ruined handbook, there’s only a little… card inside?
He picks it up, and it turns out to be a laminated, wrinkled note.

“Oh, seems to be a maintenance note of some kind… it’s readable at least.”

Davey begins to read.
“Klaus… if you forget the code again like the… oh, whoever wrote this is pretty colourful with his language… ahem.
“If you forget the code again, dot dot dot, I wrote out some coded reminders based on the training manual examples. Won’t stop someone determined, but it’ll buy enough time for the guards to come around. And if you still can’t work out the damn thing, then I hope you’ve got enough, dot dot dot… just go and put in all the numbers one after another, even if it takes your whole shift.”

He reaches into the box again, and three separate cards glimmer in the light.
“Okay… um, it seems there’s three different panels here, with their own number code override. And the previous engineer left three cards with what the codes would be on them.”

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

(Only one person actually needs to get a question right for it to count, so feel free to attempt all three.)

The first one is 42,the second is 18, and I think the third might be 23, but I am less sure on that one.

>>1110147
42, 18... 13?
I think "position" refers to the position of each digit on the keypad. There's... sortof a pattern if you look at it like that, but only if the sequence is presented in pairs. 08->16, 21->12, 15->13. The second digit tries to move down and right, whereas the first digit always becomes 1.

Hm, so in the last one, it was 8, then 8 plus the sum of its digits, then 16 plus a number vertically adjacent in the keypad to the previous number that got added, which was 8.

Then the digits of the resulting 21 got flipped around into 12, then it was 12 plus the sum of its digits, so now would be 15 plus a number in the keypad vertically adjacent to the previous number that got added, which was 3.

15 + 6 = 21

..Or maybe type 15, because first it was +8, then +(8-3), so now it might be +3, then +(3-3)?

As they head towards the dock a terrified Tina runs up, babbling about some monster.

Angels, being all soppy and junk, really believe that thing about the effort you put in to doing something. Maybe seeing that is one of their weird powers.

If you get the reeds from the edge of the river lethe and gilter out all the forgetfulness magic, there might be some residual mana to tap for the enchantment.

Hang on do you know any other angels? Or at least know of any who would be willing to talk/trade with you? Cause the item your thinking or sounds more like a divine/blessing type thing than a demon type thing. Alternatively are there other powers you could reach out to? Are fae a thing in your reality?

Well, I'd like to see you swell with sexual fluids until the pressure causes you to orgasm, and do it again and again for the rest of the quest.

>What to get
Rather than an actual horn of plenty (gods get kind of pissed if you create an infinite exploit that takes power from their domain and gives mortals basic universal welfare), you could come up with a pair of magic items. A wastebasket that digests anything you put into it, which gets connected to hydroponics mini-farm that re-grows that same item in a smaller form. So, if you throw a chocolate cake in the bin, the bin eats it, keeps some energy for itself and the farm, and then creates a small clone of the chocolate cake.
This way, you don't have to worry about delivering future gifts! You can just give Havel a present via magic teleporter and it'll even be in fun size!

This seems like the best choice, as worst case scenario, we just have to fight off whatever results of it, no worse then what we usually do anyway, and probably more interesting then fighting more frogs.
Directing it more towards plants might be the best bet, unless we maybe want to soup up the Cake Mimic. The new guys we probably dont want to get too hostile and unpredictable before the tour.
I'd suggest maybe corrupting some vines I think are around? That might get us something we can use for traps, and maybe if we expose some Bomb Flowers, we can get some more volatile explosives.

>I prefer to have a solution to such things available in the dungeon,

Dual-use flashbang potions. Looks like glitter and tar in a clear glass bottle. The 'glass' is actually just clean water, gelforged into brittle containers by Hin - seems like the kind of efficiency trick a potion merchant may find impressive.

Drink it? Grow temporary nictating membranes on your eyes, and waxy goo flows abundantly from your ears. Protects both senses from overstimulation at the cost of somewhat impairing normal use.

Smash it, or otherwise spill on bare stone? The starry gunk explodes with a bright flash and loud noise, but minimal direct damage. Adventurers with debuffed luck might discover this function accidentally, to their tactical detriment... or clever ones could use it to force shadow-slick assassin slimes out into the open.

Kayree: Burst fire on machine gun position. Regular shot on the shipping container cultist.
Fucc: Blast cultist behind hedge, prepare overwatch to shoot anything that comes close.
Cymdee: Move up towards the shed to draw overwatch, capture foam the machine gunner. If it doesn't get him, it might at least jam the gun.
Baetriss: Got line of sight on the radio user? Zap him with the lightning gun. Zap the axe guy, too.

*Burst fire on log sniper. And this is a revision to plan >>1108601

Kayree: use your senses, try to deduce what's in the containers

Cymdee: sprint across to Kayree's side, with your shield up, to draw fire

Fucc: Shoot the closest target, at the container, then fall back into cover

Baetriss: Take a shot at the machine gunner, there must be some gap for them to see out

Wait, can Cymdee move between the fence and the nearest container? Going there would most likely cause the Cyber Bear to attack her there, and she can Lookout there instead to guard our right side. From that position, only that guy behind the tree could fire on her, so it's a pretty good spot, and then next turn she should be able to move to all sorts of useful spots.

Ah, and I forgot Baetriss would have to holster a weapon to use melee. She should put away the Sniper Rifle for the melee Lookout, since... well, everything here has cybernetics anyway so the Lighting Gun is better.
