He's just trying to figure you out, same as you're trying to figure him out. Looks like you've got similar professions.

as far as conversation topics it seems you're both interested in the politics of the region. you could compare notes

Don't really get the feeling he's trying to use you in a dangerous way though, but he is confident he could beat you in a fight if it came down to it.

Also he thinks you're kinda chubby.

He called you chubby.

what a nice compliment shows we can take care of yourself and be well feed meaning good survival skills

>>1107952
He does think you're a little chonky but i think he likes it.

We dont know whats in the bag.
I have a cunning plan to find out.
Im going to ask "whatsinthebagwhatsinthebagwhatsinthebag"
Until he answers.

Maybe not.
Bag might not be important.
He knows the mouse who was in there with you but as an acquaintance.

Jormun: (Anyway get over here quick, Pitreh wants to have a meeting.)

Everyone piles into the tub, except the lizbolds who would prefer to stay on the ground for now. The ride is surprisingly gentle, though that doesn't keep the shon from huddling in the center until they reach the town. Except for Palla, who is right at the edge the whole way, wide eyes taking in as much of the wyrm as she can.

The party makes a successful landing and head to the meeting, but Solfar intercepts you spirits and leads you aside.

Solfar: (Hey hey, how's it going? So, I wanted to make something to thank you for sticking around and giving advice and all. What do you think? It's kind of a little shrine you can hang out in, and people can come to you if they need advice. I left it simple so you can decorate it later, if you like. I dunno, it came to me in a weird dream. There was a snake lady and everything. Well, see you later!)

The spirits enter the ghost house, in as much as vague souls can be in anything.

Give the newcomers a tour of your home/best friend.

Samsara: Surprise! I was the narrator the whole time! Aren't you pleased and shocked? hee hee

Now the robolds are settled in, relatively speaking, there isn't going to be anything much happening for about a week, so I thought it would be a good time to deal with your, erm, compatriots. Remember, the ball of conglomerated psyche formed from the spirits of humanity from the previous universal incarnation who where in heaven for a little too long? And now they're dissoluted into a sort of... mush?

Well, a planet opened up that would be just perfect to give them a second chance. No spoilers, but it has a lot of familiar, earthy things. Just go through this uh, Metaspacial Linkage...

End of chapter one

Oh, no! I am bamboo-nuzzled or however it's said!

The thing we need most as we set out is wisdom. If we can benefit from the experience that's come before us, we might add our own insights to it, instead of rediscovering all the old precepts anew.

C. Chat with your mentor

After some deliberation, you opt to find PRIESTESS MOTHER YMELDA for one last chat. You know the Abbess will be out in the courtyard at this hour, feeding the temple's stray cats and tending her plumerias.

On the way from the dormitories to the temple proper, you encounter a familiar face. Your self-professed rival, Priestess Initiate LILIANNE, stands near the bottom of the stairs. She's engaged in a tense discussion with an acolyte who's wheeling a cleaning bucket around.

You might want to...

A. Avoid her before she notices you (Body)
B. Ask what the matter is (Heart)
C. Analyse the situation (Mind)

>>1111269
Play to our strength.
Analyse.

C

Yes, we approach our situation carefully, weighing our options and acting with understanding over impulse.

Grimothy snips off Rhonda's panties! a bolts away down the passage way

Rhonda: "Curse you over sized Pidgeon!"

Rhonda is defeated!

Grimothy, as soon as you round the corner, turn back and launch an attack against Rodrick. Use the moment of being out of his sight to try and catch him offguard.

>>1107631
agreed with this! ( realized I haven't posted here yet)

>>1104484
sadly, stealing a gift for an angel, though Deeply funny, is a bad idea.
Oh how countless Forms can be, perhaps something generally spiny, but not quite sharp. The idea of danger, but not Dangerous

>>1104479
Wait how does The Unwanted have a liege/spouse/owner, wouldn't that mean someone wants them?
>>1104483
Oh I get it, your appearance reflects your mental state. If you're upset your beauty leans towards monstrous and lean.

>change?
Hmm, well, I'm partial to scales.

>how to get it
Well, they're going to want to use it openly. If you stole it, then whoever you stole it from would easily find out where it went and try to get it back, which isn't a great result. Seems like you have to buy it or trade for it.

>>1104483
Effort is key.
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.

So, boss, the harder you work the better.
We need a horn then.
Which is ironic as we normally give people the horn, not find them.
Can we find a demon with a big head and horns and just uh, arrange a donation .
Oh!
Hang on. What about a woven reed horn.
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!

>>If she's able to direct plants and monsters to the corruption they could potentially absorb the excess but this is likely to make particularly hostile varieties.

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.

Have we seen Worst-Slime since at least Stargazer's Shenanigans? How they doin?

>>1106367
>unless we maybe want to soup up the Cake Mimic
the Cake Mimic is a free morale booster, let's not ruin a good thing by trying to fix what ain't broken

>>1106367
If there are any plants and monsters left inside Stargazer, that's where I would prefer the corruption goes, rather than our new arrivals. Or we could dump it on the frogs.

Idea for what Reisarf and Belphejar could come up with, inspired by:
>>1087236
>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.

Suddenly, a wave of dizziness comes back again; Its frequency has been getting pretty bad, maybe it’s just all of the stress of this past week, coming back.. It’s nothing rest won’t fix.

I get up and go to our quarters; we have a proper bed now, so sleeping on the floor will be better.

With both of you being named Muni, I’ll rename you too… Toomi, until Muni gets a new name. I think it’s meaning fits you better now that I know you better, huh?

Hahaha- Fuck. The pain keeps returning.. But it’s better just to power through- you’ve always powered through..

My ears begin ringing.. Maybe I need to lay down- maybe…

Then her thoughts went black, as Grey passed out, her legs collapsing, as her body hit the rocky ground hard, then there was silence, except the tweeting of birds in the canopy.

………..

You feel a familiar warm presence smothering you..

[Rush E played from a thousand dog whistles attached to butts]

Everyone come up with weirder cacophonies before Grey is eaten by a roaming monster!

Oh no Gray! Ah we have to get help! Can anyone hear us?

>>1108073
Grey mother?!?

If we cant move her with our cacophony, then we should try to move ourselves and fetch help.
The child that stole our name is an eager vessel but that doesnt mean theyre a viable one.

More noise for the moment, but ready to reach out to a willing or pliable mind.
We cannot become orphans again so swiftly.
We cannot lose her.

Thank you Delve Oss, this diversion, while not asked for, was more productive then expected. We'll be in touch. I'll [Return]

I second this. We are not as good at talking to quicks as we think we are.

>>1104770
>Yeah, we should go with Lilio
>>1104775
>see if she'll take you to your friend in the car

I don't second any of this though. We should be involving ourselves with the living as little as possible at this point. Not getting random innocents killed should at least be our 2nd or 3rd priority and things have been looking pretty dicey on that front since disco dick showed up. The last thing we want is to waltz up to a car filled with Dez's well meaning friends with an angry necrotech with a low value of human life and a high need of daddy's approval on our tale. It took him a solid 5 seconds to resurrect this time. We need to get away from him before he can cause serious harm.

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

Dez, can you text your friends and tell them to stay away? Vittorio is resurrecting too fast, it'll be near impossible to keep them safe.

I'm sure the others have put it better, but I also want to thank you Delve. Also your vibe is cool, can't wait to hang sometime.

I want to hop back into [DEZ]. Encourage her to keep living... for the blog!!! (and also so we can get her better lipstick sometime. I'm not letting her forget that bc that other geist was absolutely correct)
