And who is Master L? Judging from how you speak of him, I assume you're both working under him.

Sorry for all the questions, but we have no idea what's going on right now.

Pawns for his plan. The magnificent plan.

What was the plan again?

 

Go on a killing rampage.

[To Cecil]
This guy is very weak willed, his mind is split in half, and he's rather prone to suggestion. Fiercely loyal to Dart of course, so I doubt we can disrupt him too badly, but if you have an idea how we can direct him so he still thinks he's doing darts will we'll try to get it done. Currently he is supposed to find out where this stone came from, and find Master L. We made him think to "give the stone to Master L", that suggests we can get away with quite a bit here.

He gets the entire group together and together they make their way to Nari's old home. As they get closer Nari holds Cecil's hand tighter. He holds her close to try to comfort her. They arrive there. The same guard is out at the front.

Cecil tries sending her as much good emotion as he can. It seems to work a bit. He opens the door and steps inside. Everyone goes in except for Nari. Cecil holds out his hand but she shakes her head

>"It's okay Nari."

She slowly walks inside. Cecil takes her hand in his and walks her in. Nari shows them where her father stays and they get closer to Norar's room. Nari is shaking badly now and holding herself. She steps in front of Cecil

"Cecil I don't want to be here anymore. Please can we leave? Please? I promise I'll do anything I just want to go.. Cecil don't make me go any more I don't wanna go Cecil.."

>Damn it... I can't focus.. I'm almost shaking. She's so scared right now I can't... I want to leave this place.

nari: you must face that which you fear, if you do not then it shall lord over you and even if you are stronger then anyone someone could taunt you with it and make you fail. or worse, taught you with it, and make Cecil fail, your own fear making him too worried about your safety to fight his own battle. we must win the little battles before facing the big ones. facing your father is a little battle.

>>154501
Yeah, I say we don't try to make Nari go any further. She's shown a lot of courage coming this far.

Let her stay right there, with Alex and the others.

Take a look inside the room.

>>154501
Hug her and say "Nari, your father was helpless against me on my own, and we're all here to protect you.
We're here because we think your father is holding your mother captive, and we need to rescue her. I know you're scared, but we can't leave her here.
You're all healed now so I doubt your father will even know who you are, but if you want to you can stay out here with RJ and Felix. I need you to be brave right now, for me, and for your mom. Can you do that, Nari?"
[Send courage Nari's way, and reinforce her love for Cecil]

You guys are going to ruin her. I'll add dialogue with my suggestion... and instead of Nari staying with Alex, she can stay with Felix and RJ.

"Okay Nari, you don't have to go any further. Stay behind with Felix and RJ. However... I came here to find something, and I'm not going to leave until I do."

>>154501
She isn't strong enough to confront him... If we're going to do this, you may have to go on with only Alex. It would be easier for her if this didn't happen yet. But...

We know and saw more of her pain than you have, and you can feel what that has done to her, and still is. And because of what know, we can not stand for this person to live. You would even less. And we suspect there may be even worse truths to be revealed.

>>154509
I fear the worst is yet to come.
Cecil, I ask that you control your anger when you see what's in his room. While he deserves much worse than death, it would be better for Nari if you outed his crimes to the guards and had him arrested.

Nari recieves these emotions and it calms her. Cecil calms down as well.

>>154509

>>154517
she made us swear not to tell you. if, later, you can convince her to tell you then you shall learn. we will offer advice on what to say to get her to reveal it but we can not tell you out-right.

>>154517
We are not going to tell you. She has forbidden it.

Is that a hatch in the floor over there? Be careful, it may be rigged with a trap. Maybe RJ should be here to help with it.

>>154517
No. Partly because she doesn't want us to tell you what she shared with us, and partially because we lack many of the details. She had even still been quiet under the fear of reprisal from her father. We had finally convinced her to talk to someone about it, when the incident with the hospital happened. She will tell you when she is ready.

It would only distract you from what you need to do here anyways. To put it simply: we believe Nari's mother has been a victim of soul petrification. Perhaps for years, or decades. Find her or evidence of her if it is to be found.

This was always a forbidden area to Nari, give it a careful search.

>>154517
Can you magically sense life? Not souls, but bodies?
Check the floor, ceiling, walls, and dresser for bodies and hidden compartments.
If we can't find the body of Nari's mother here, we'll need to coerce her location out of Norar.

We promised not to tell you, so you need to ask her yourself.
Oh, I suppose I can tell you this much: We are more than 85% sure that Nari's mother was living, but not alive when Nari was conceived. We're marginally less certain that her status hasn't changed since then.

@RJ: Can you try to find "Chel Sils"?

See if there is anyone in there. And use any shield magic you have on yourself. Best way to deal with a mage is a quick stab in the neck and he or someone else might be lurking somewhere with a dagger for doing just that.

i suppose we can say he did worse then you have seen. as in her missing an eye was not the worst thing to happen.

Figure out where that hum is coming from.

Toss a pebble at the wall. If nothing happens, touch it. Then look for a handhold or something, and check to see if it's a fake wall.
If you can't figure out how to open it, force it with the least effort possible.

>>154552
We want to find Nari's mother so we can take her to the guards and have Nari's father arrested.
If WE kill him then he was 'murdered by foreigners'. If the GUARDS kill him then 'justice was served'.

Plus this way we get to destroy his reputation, shame the entire village for not stopping him on their own, and position Nari as the town's leader - allowing her to appoint somebody as reagent and leave a cell stone for communication.
