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)

Play to our strength.
Analyse.

C

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

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]

>>1104769
>I'd caution against texting humans too much, crosstalk between us makes us sound extra insane even without the weird context

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

>>1104768
>don't just fuck off without delivering dez to them
>>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)

hey you still alive to fractal

and ye fractal is fine, just busy)

A platoon of Lost Soldiers supported by 3 Lost Wizards who are maintaining a ritual that will auto rez any skellies that go down. taking out one of the Wizards will break the ritual but the remainder will then join the fray with spells.

>>1095158
Get some bones, some swords and some skeletons. Bully them with wheel skeletons.

>>1095161
ah a classic! I think every Dungeon Master must do the reforming undead bit at least once

Lord Savage would approve (who knows, maybe he's a magifan and will see in real time)

>>1095163
I don't think we have Wheel Skeletons, but we should absolutely build an underground hippodrome and have undead chariot battles at some point.

Could be fun if the mimic waits in a room with a treasure chest, but out of line of sight. In the corner next to the entrance or something. When the decoy (real) chest is opened and it's safe, the adventurers will relax. And -that's- when the mimic should attack them.
