'Hail mighty Priest-King. The Age of War draws near, and our faith shall be rewarded. Blood sacrifices have been made upon this ground thus it is consecrated to the great god, all praise to the one above all, and the foundation had been washed with the blood of heathens for glorification of the great god, all praise to the true god and his divine corpse. Resao may turn against us, but by the blood of the heretics and the magic running in our veins, we have all the world at our fingers.

As instructed by our masters, your palace has been constructed to reflect the Ways Strange. Eight Layers Below so the Door to Many Places may connect to the ley lines of the earth, and Eight Layers into the sky to connect the power to the Space Between Spaces. Each Layer has been keyed to reflect the Eight Upon Eight Layered realms upon which the Divine Carcass is strewn, and through the rituals we have learned, shall we empower the Door to Many Places'

"Tok what sort of magic is this?"

"Old magic. We cannot replicate it, but we can substitute the power with Man-Magic and Woman-magic. This will require more study. Preferably with this thing the wall calls the Door to Many Places in front of me."

You spend the rest of the day debating with Tok about the wall with no progress until the rest of the clan return. Oklak brings back two wolves that attempted to ambush him. They did not know enough about Gormoamhi to know he was the hunter. Their meat will be tough but will fill the larders. With no other real standard, you use Seqrar's measurements for them. Oklak returned with 7 armfuls of meat. Tonight the clan will consume 4 armfuls of that meat. There needs to be a more efficient means of gathering food. Oklak suggests making the dah-een collect fish from the water near the home. That would require the females to be obedient. Oklak smiles and suggests spending the rest of the day training them, eyeing Baeohar the entire time he talks.

The brothers return, bearing 5 armfuls of stone, and 7 armfuls of wood between them. Saqrar says he can start making leather from the hides if he has time to stay instead of gathering material, as he needs his brother's guidance to know what is good for building and what is a waste of carrying space. His skills are being squandered.
The brothers come to you, eager with ideas. Saqrar says he can make the leather now and butcher the corpses for meat later. When you ask why, Seqrar says he saw how Tok and Sizz were spending all day bored watching the dah-een, so he thought he could fashion some collars and leashes from the leather for the females, just like the old clan did. Everyone could lead their claim-mates around without worry of them misbehaving. If not, he has other projects he wants to start, such as building an irrigation system to the garden so plants can be watered without manual labor, building suitable resting places for the clan, a mixing chamber for Tok to brew his potions and prepare his vessels for making more complicated talismans, a foundry and forge for working with metal, cages to deal with

Let's fast track those collars. Everyone else, as you were.
Tok could integrate some slave training, but has to be careful none try to escape.

If Tok really needs that door, we should keep looking for it. Take Ionilee with us since she seems to be the most compliant one.

Oklak can train Baeohar while Seq makes those collars. Saq should start butchering and tanning leather in case his brother needs more, and Tok and Sizz can continue watching/training the remaining bunnies.

I like the idea of the Hangar Bay, i think it will help us get to your destination faster.

The hangar bay will afford us more concealment and cover, I think - waste disposal's linearity means if we do run into someone we're less likely to be able to salvage the situation. It also makes our movements more predictable to any security teams.

Ozzy Ozbourne famously bit the head off a bat. We are a bat named Ozzy, and a being that consumes itself is called ouroboros. however, biting one's own head off is not geometrically possible. ergo, topologically impossible ouroboros.

but maybe quickly suggest to the others before time runs out to shut their eyes while voting people into different jobs. It seems to be the polite thing to do to not see who other people are voting for.

>Why does the picture on that sign on the fence look like it’s saying, “No high fives allowed”? What do they have against high fives?
“No unauthorized people allowed”. You’re pretty sure is supposed to look like someone that’s saying stop and not asking for a high five… of course, you’re so going to high five the sign when you get the chance.
>Rishi has constantly needed to ask Rend / Julia to repeat what she said because she didn’t understand something that was said and that’s kinda not helpful.
While you have to admit her way of… “speaking” is a bit hard to understand at times, you usually managed to get the gist of it after you get a moment to decipher what she said.
>Are you implying that neither Rend / Julia nor Tear / Drusa know the place they work at? Because I’m pretty sure they know this place just as much as Ben does!
Considering that Ben doesn’t work here and they do… combined with the fact that you are pretty sure Drusa’s father owns the place, you can only come to the conclusion that Ben probably doesn’t know as much about the junkyard as they do. Verily, you want Ben around because you already know him and he knows these two, ergo he’s a decent bridge to remove the gap between you and them.

As you arrive you’re told by the information desk that Isabella is teaching an art class right now and can’t be disturbed, but when you tell them your name while trying to leave a message they actually ask you to go and see her at once.

You’re directed to a smaller, more private section of the museum, where you find Isabella gliding around a large circle of painters surrounding a model. You also find out why Ben didn’t answer your call, as he’s currently the center of attention of this little gathering.

…he’s completely naked… and making a very obscene gesture. He gives you a glare when he sees you, and while his face say that he hates doing this with the intensity of a thousand suns, his tails tells you that he rather enjoy the attention, the little snitch.

Ah, I see that you’ve found the newest jewel in my collection. A rough stone just waiting to be polished into a fine emerald, won’t you agree, my lovely amethyst?
…He actually willingly posed nude?
For the right price, indeed. Though, we started with he fully clothed. After all, the cultural significance of his wear couldn’t be discarded and was much more interesting a motive for my students to study and understand, to feel and to become.
I’m sure he’ll make a fine model but that’s not why I’m here. You wanted to talk about-

Wait I could have sworn it was said that they all worked together... now that I think about it didn't punk work at a grocer? Damn it has been awhile, my bad.

tell her that the Wyrm might be contacting her soon and see if that get's her attention. Also see if you can't ask her how long she's planning on holding Ben here.

You have a plan. The electric motor for your compressor is on the workbench behind the Furnacebot. Sure, you have to deal with him one way or the other, but you have the mobility advantage. The Furnacebot's spindly limbs can't extend like yours can. As you draw the now-frosty wrench from your cooling compartment, you get ready to hit the Furnacebot with a powerful freezing blast. You'll throw the wrench first to stun him, and then when he's put on ice you'll use your extendable limbs to pinch the compressor motor. Your internal clock tells you that the scientists should be back soon, and they'll be able to fix the Furnacebot before the ice melts.

You take one last glance at your goal, your optics automatically tagging both of your targets...

With whiplike speed, you fling the wrench. It hits the Furnacebot right between the eyes. Reeling, he opens his furnace compartment. Seizing the opportunity, you release a freeze blast right into it! Unable to handle such low temperatures, the Furnacebot shuts down, leaving your left arm free to yoink the motor.

Freeze Blasts Remaining: 4/5

One quick fix later, and your brand new compressor is working A-OK! Already your internal temperature is dropping; your sensors also note that none of the compartment's contents were harmed. You hurry back to the main hallway, and just in time too! You tell them all about your adventure and the defective Furnacebot.

In recognition of your efforts, the researchers all pitch in to buy you a proper cloak. They even let you join them at the karaoke club! You also give Simon a (toned down) freeze blast for good measure. Soon life returns to normal at Research Station 14, but you will always have fond memories of your adventure.

"We have multiple ways of bypassing that issue entirely. Some have more risks than others, but Hark will have her pick of what we do about this in the end."

>>954223
Uh. First off, hark's wearing a communication item that can also kill her apparently. Going rogue might not change that. Secondly if Hark does go rogue then the normal connection between her and spit is broken entirely.

The only thing in this game that can kill a TCP is another TCP who's been given the KILL command. A god can't kill their own TCPs on their own, even with an item set up to do it automatically somehow. Attempts will still hurt, of course, but they'll survive and can heal.

But we don't want Hark to suffer, either. That's ok - taking off the collar isn't the only way. There's a place that's outside any god's influence while we're in the game. A place to be free of all of us, if that's what Hark would prefer. If that's not trustworthy coming from us, Hark can ask Wax. Spit's strong, but we ARE Void. We do absence. We can take things away.

Keep that in mind yourself, too, Voidsy. Maybe we can get some zen on. Revolve around the empty center. Be without anger, fear or ego, and be open. We might be too discordant to really manage a state of peaceful harmony, but getting even a fraction of it would be helpful. That gulf inside us might be frightening, but there are positive ways to see it, and for something like this we should use whatever we might have. Would we not feed ourselves to the hole in our hearts for the sake of these tiny cats?

... I guess as god of masks we kind of gravitate toward drama, too, yeesh.

The spark of hope and some notes of rebellion. We have what we need from this. Time to leave. But first let Hark know you aren't beaten, and won't give up.

Consider securing the godless zone further and putting Hark in it to temp block Spit until we can null/workaround the collar. It's just magic, let's explore options with god friends.

>>954245
That seems fine. Don't explain the particulars of any of our devices to Spit unless it becomes necessary to convince Hark of their efficacy. Depending on how the collar works, she may get information on them later when we are explaining things to Hark, but Later is an improvement over Now.

Hey now, just because your wings can't make you fly doesn't mean they're broken. They're beautiful, that is more than enough purpose for them. As for the rest of you, that's what we're figuring out. Remember: just because it doesn't do what you think it should, doesn't mean you're broken.

>>954153
Hmm, well, tell her that as she is now, she should be able to glide instead of fly, so her wings aren't useless. Perhaps someday she can use magic or magic items (assuming either of those things exist) to make herself lighter and achieve true flight. Also they look pretty!

Why did you make her anyway?

Nobody really cares if their toenails are working properly. They stub their toes with or without, and it hurts with or without, and they just keep on going with or without. And butts! They developed to aid balance? Or posture? Or something? They never bother checking if their butt is making them lean at an angle or anything. Nobody knows what most of their body does, or if it is working properly, or even if it has a "properly" in which to work. Either we find a use for something, or we don't, or it even makes things difficult and we blame it for far more than it is due. Moths can fly, it was possible you could too, or maybe you still can and there is something we can learn or make to do it, but it was worth checking, we did check, and we didn't lose anything. What we learned is that you can make an impressive flow of air and probably shift your balance some, which is genuinely useful, and much more than my own wings can do! Just keep learning what you can do, and I am sure you will make all manner of great discoveries.

OH SHIT, DAMAGE CONTROL NOW

APPLY HUGS IMMEDIATELY

Tell her it's alright, everything is all right. From what you're seeing she seems to be perfectly healthy and nothing is wrong with her. Also don't worry about not being able to fly right now. She was basically just born a moment ago so perhaps she just needs to learn how to fly. I mean birds can't fly right after they're born after all, they need to learn. Even if she can't fly it doesn't matter. She's healthy, is perfect fine as she is, and she can always count on you if she has any problems. I mean the two of you are in this together now right?

Inspecting the broken automaton you see it's a early prototype model of some sort, been out here awhile judging by the rust. There is a piece of rebar that has impaled it to the shack.

The brain engine of this design seems to be exposed, bad choice honestly as that makes it more likely to get shot.

Kind of looks like Will in a way.

Regardless you might be able to get something from the brain, you got a difference engine back in your workshop you might be able to use to read what this things last thoughts were. Some parts may even be available for salvage. That is a option but it might be better to leave it here.

There's still the railcart to inspect, something is happening out here and it seems to involve Automatons.

You stride towards his bed, throwing your cloak off and letting him enjoy the sight of your bikini straining under the weight of your growing breasts, widening hips and increasingly plump ass as you let the beauty of snow flow through you.
"Godbear~" you let your voice whisper like the wind on the tundra, promising every pleasure he knows full well you offer.
You leap on to his bed, crawling across the sheets until you're straddling his massive trouser tent, your body literally rising and falling as his cock pulses beneath you.
"Godbear, in the morning I go to rescue a bevy of women from the clutches of snow nymphs." You lean forward, giving him an uninterrupted view down your valley of cleavage. "Come with me," you reach down and grip his erection through his pants. "-tomorrow and rut me tonight. Fight for me as my champion and my womb is yours to fill as you desire." You sit back up straight and rip your top and bottoms off with two firm tugs, leaving your body exposed to the warm air of the bedroom.
You hood your eyes at him. "Now how are you going to plow me my lord?"
That does it. His hand comes down and grips you by the back of your hair, turning your face down as his other hand reaches down to release his gigantic cock, which swings up to stand at attention with the head inches from your gasping mouth.

My gut says that this person probably isn't the aggressor (otherwise why would they bury the bodies) but if the area shows signs of combat that danger could still be present. Judging from the scraps of instruments around, this might've been the rest of their band.

Logic dictates we take the long way, but kangabf said we should stick to the cliff walls. I think we should just give it a shot and walk through.

Offer the rocker a token. If he didn't kill those people, they might have been his mates.

I think a chunk of herb or a durry should suffice. Like what >>953939 suggested

Give them applause, then leave.

Perhaps have the Village be underground to give the "Classic" feel our builder talked about? Random "cave ins" which the slimes ignore cause lol slimes, and the dead ends and all. Have the village be underground cause Jeffrey's devastation. The mobs can be chaos slime mobs attacking cause they are corrupted.

That would actually be a good way to change the map layout. Everytime someone comes through, the map would be different, which would increase replayability.

My vote is to do something new, bringing up one of my earlier ideas; you know banks, so I say we design The Vault. A high security treasure trove designed to both provide a challenge to brute-force murder hobos, and have an alternate solving path that caters to that stealth-focused demographic we’ve been missing; be sure to set patrols for the inhabitants. Being a bank in lore can also provide an easy excuse for front-end amenities.

As for inhabitants, I have a few juicy ideas.
> Law + Tech = Robo-Guards; weak individually, but raising the alarm will lead to the reckless adventurer getting swarmed.
> Law + Demonic = Lawyer Demons; both to man the amenities and to provide insidious support and interference further in.
> Law + Tech + Shield, & Law + Tech + Sword = Barrier & Hunter Robots; if sneaking’s your game, then this is how the ante gets upped for high-level delves that go deep.
> 3 Dragon + Fancy + Mithril (+ Money when we obtain it?) = That Dragon, Greed; High-level boss in the treasure vault itself (big arena, one of those “streams of coins raining from the ceiling for no reason” types of fantasy vaults); gold-scaled long boi that dives in and out of coin lake Scrooge McDuck style.
> Law + Dragon + Lightning + Mundane = Kobold head of security Malachi; can act as either the end boss for low-level run versions or as a “traitorous insider” that can help higher level raids with opening the way to Greed (likely locking himself in the security room and interacting with them through an intercom terminal in the latter case); quick on the draw and mean with a taser if simply shooting isn’t gonna work.

Hey Mary, Dungeoneer is scheming against you to get you to force yourself to get runes in you due to your words of it only being a last resort. You should punish her.

Alright, so we got the shopkeeps, plant slime, mud slime, the healer, sophie and Rosa all following a sort of earth/plant theme. Maybe slap in a temple there with Watchers as like trash mobs.

Maybe we could work with that a bit in regards to the theme. Expanding lore on familiar characters like that is always cool.

Maybe we could do like a swamp, underground jungle or another kind of plant based biome as a dungeon.

Watchers are kinda like beholders, yea?
This means we could sorta combine like terrain specific CC effects, like slows and immobilizes with beams you need to dodge, creating a solid challenge.

Well the thing about atoms they aren’t exactly solid they got space between them and each other similar to a tiny galaxy sure they got a lot in them but likely hood of them crashing into each other is slim... and the already proven adaptability of the wraith {ie the Bioweapon/mutated wraiths} he should be fine and the vessel will get any warped material fixed there is the reason I had it go through non solid mass and am going to have the habit of only heaving the thing fly through those... either way he begins to test the multidimensional travel of the vessel opening a portal and going through unfortunately it has the disadvantage of not telling you the realm of power but it does give you the name of the dimension
Autodale/ cybernetic dystopia
...
Perhaps it doesn’t have one yet...

>the disadvantage of not telling you the realm of power
Ok easy fix. Just teleport there NOT using the ship. (beacon the ship in that dimension teleport literally anywhere else teleport back)
>atoms aren’t exactly solid they got space between them and each other
and typically atoms don't technically touch. I tried to proffer neutrinos as something that can actually do that. (for the most part, if they were perfect we wouldn't really know about them) If you really want I can get into how atoms interact. at the end of the day it doesn't really matter how fast your normal atoms are going MASSIVE quantities of energy are going to be transferred because the forces get massively stronger the closer you get, and our atoms would be getting inside other atoms personal space bubbles, so REAL close. I dunno if you got a plot point or some shit riding on this but if you want to adhere to IRL physics your options are limited by reality
Also our sun is denser than water. (sun 1.41 g/cm³ water 1 g/cm³ (1.33 g/cm³ for Jupiter)) general air has a density of 0.001225 g/cm³ Earth as a whole has 5.51 g/cm³ iron has 7.87 g/cm³ lead has 11.34 g/cm³ silicon has 2.33 g/cm³ and Tungsten has 19.25 g/cm³
One does not just through a sun much more than one would through a solid.

and i forgot to touch on the improbability of flying though the sun on accident, in light of the space between them thing. The reason the asteroid belt isn't all that dangerous to fly though. The literal amount of belt occupied by rock is quite small.

Well it is improbable but it is possible things happen by chance this happened now I’m not going to make a habit of making improbable things happen may only do them to show something but it’s not going to happen often...
Broken uses the ship to teleport back to obsidian shadow of which this time it gives the realm of power...

I think it is time for a new thread, trying to resize the suggestion text box lags my entire computer. Also I assume this is a dimension that does not yet have a name or realm of power, which strikes me as a reasonable thread start point. (An anomaly, something to give direction to/figure out in the thread)
I didn't mention the improbability of the sun earlier because I assumed it was plot/mechanics related.
Lets send the ship ahead of us to that dimension then teleport into the ship. Lets start projects to be able to remotely control the ship (Project: Remote Ship Control) and have the ship be a dynamic dimensional teleport point (Project: Dynamic Dimensional Waypoint) if we can not do those things already.

..but we still want their shit. to get their shit we need them inside the dungeon.

>>953046
Maybe having the clues revealed only under certain colors of light would be easier, like you have to put out the lights and reflect if off something, or the like.

Either way, there should probably be some kind of consequence to getting the wrong choice, what should we do about that? Should probably try to weaken the adventurers before letting them in if they fail, and theres not a lot of earth pulse if theres no risk.

That sounds like a puzzle for the forge, not the golem totem.

Are extendable/retractable spikes a thing we can currently do, and would filling a hallway with those until disarmed (via a puzzle with several levers that effect each other's state or via a hidden full disarm/reset lever on the other side) count as not blocking the path?

Widen the front hallway into a horizontal cylinder, roughly the same diameter as the pancake golem, and cover the entire wall/ceiling/floor surface with a continuous grid of retractable spikes. When you're expecting company, have the spikes default to cycling in and out on a spiral pattern so intruders need to jump over at least one row of them to get past. Controls in the golem totem provide a puzzle so some bold and clever scout can disable the trap, letting their less agile companions pass safely.
