NOW yer getting it. I AM the drug. :D
Anyway, yeah, find something to get up to the top of the worm-hole with. Maybe go to the worm bottom, cut out some intestines, and take them back up to use as rope.

>>162832
Maybe that's part of what the patrol was doing.

Keep climbing up the worm tunnel. It should exit somewhere, maybe up on top. Could have been guards firing those bolts we saw stuck in it.

>climbing up
On it!

>intestine rope
That would be more useful to go down instead of up, therefore...

Never question platformer logic. It will only spell your doom.

It's called jumping and holding, simple straightforward. All you need is to be fit.Better than average reflexes are a plus.

It's called digging your friggen handholds into the hard clay by shoving a spade into the wall one-handed -- hff -- a technique I said -- hff -- it would take too much time -- hff-- and it is.

You recommended it to me earlier, remember?

... damn.. need rest... arms killing me.

hey we found player 2!

you look good in pink. should wash hair tho.

what can you see in front of you? its not makin much sense from here. just a big black...

also the shaft of the furnance got real large.

>>162869
Looks like you're getting closer to the top. There is some greenery growin on the wall there.

Shouldn't be much longer now until you're at the top. Be wary of guard patrols out there though.

Have a rest. Looks like there's some roots or grass up ahead.

Hff... huff... huuufff....
Hmn, the dirt behind me isn't clay. Too soft. Remind me next time we're here.

Idunno... you have your point. Someone killed the giant worm -- either demons on their way out, or guards doing some culling. If are the guards, it's not even a good idea to go up so quickly.

But what if they aren't the guards?

"Sir! Um... permission to ask?"
"Go on."
"Is that... normal?"
"Whitepillars can grow forever, corporal. If they leave the underground, they'll just graze and eat until they grow too much."
"Luckily, they can't lay eggs outside the underground..."
"Which still means we will be searching the premises after possible nests, then move on. We must make sure there won't be any surprises in the future."

"Still... it must have been around for years, to reach that size."
"And as soon as I find out who did it, heads shall roll! Mark my words!"

.... yep, guards. And gone they are.

Well, it looks like we accomplished what we set out to do. On the other hand, since the secret entrance is right next to a normal entrance, it might be hard to use.

Congratulations on suddenly becoming less purple, by the way.

>>163122
You're not pink anymore.

well, we HAVE to burn the eggs now. this also buts a end to our little pokemon sidequest.

player, if there is any organ that is sellable in the megamegaworm, hack it. also, it may still be alive. prepare for round 2 soon...

>>163133
what? why do we need to burn the nest? they just said it takes years for worms to reach that size.

>>163122
Anyway, we found our new entrance. Do we find our way back to town NOW, or delve some more first?

>>163143
we are wanted by the guards and we got a possible shop inhere thanks to a Miss_K. if we leave it will be for a possibly long walk to the next city or in case we level up to 6, we may get to the village with no actual charges on us asides the attack on the guard.

>>163139
well, it has something to do with the guards will do it annyway and giant man eating worms breeding by the dozen.

>>163122
Nice, now get out of there and mark the spot. Then make your way back to town. You need a bath and to buy some climbing gear.

Well, Player. Do you have any idea where town is from here? Because I don't really think that you have enough torches to be able to say that you can continue safely.

Of course, you're an adventurer. You eat nails and it comes out pig iron, so if you don't know where town is, get straight back in that hole, you magnificent bastard!

Speaking of which, would you say that having that disease you said you had influenced you being an adventurer and all? 'Cause it sounds like you're a fighter because of a classic case of reaction formation. Basically, timidity turned daring 'cause you're afraid to feel helpless again.

Jeez. I must be the voice of caffeine induced rambling today.

Tch. As much of a shame as it is, Player can deal with the nest on his return trip. Right now, he needs to make his way back to town to sell the stuff he found, preferably surreptitiously.

Sheez, avoiding the guards and the suspicions of the townsfolk all the time is going to be a real bother. Being level 4, not 6, you're going attract attention by staying, since you really don't have a reason to stick around any longer, and having knocked out that one guard, they're going to be on watch for you.

I don't know, really. Manuel might report you for fun, MacLaughing might report you for your own good, even Miss K might report you, but that's just because she's so unpredictable. Mmm. Maybe not, though. I don't know what kind of relationship the villagers have with the guards. I assume it's a good one, since they're protecting them and all, but...Eh.

Perhaps the first person you should go to is Miss K. I think she's the least liable to report you, especially if you admit you screwed up. Then you could ask for her advice on how Manuel and MacLaughing would react if you stuck around and attempted to sell them stuff.

I'm gonna second going to Miss K.
And showing her the DU Core that she insisted was a 'feminine aide'.

If we're going to stay in the village long-term, we should stay with someone who would be sympathetic to Player, understand the importance of our mission, and be willing to bend the rules to help him. Preferabley, a person who Player could get along with for an extended period of time without much difficulty. Do we know anyone like that?

>>163216
that's why we are insisting Miss k, if we give her enough ancient tech and money she would have no reason to rat us out, she may let us sleep in her house, and player may be able to get into her pants.

>>163219
She's not the kind of person you want to be around for very long. If we're going to ask someone for a place to stay, I'd rather it be someone who won't bite us.

That's a bit longer-term, though. We can still go to her about the artifacts we found.

>>163225
i'm telling you, those bites are signs of affection.

>>163226
"That's not a sort of affection I appreciate."
That's probably what Player's thoughts on the matter would be.

So they can grow really big with lots of grass?

- go get a grub
- feed it till it turns into even bigger grubzilla than before
- take over world

I'm a genius!

i wanted to check on the worm in there. you know, make sure its very dead.

well if we are going back to the city can we set the body on fire? its more likely to kill the babies, even because we would need to dig trhu the corpse to get back anyway.

also player needs a shower.

remember to mark on the tree that this is the exit.

No. Don't make any markings. A rock by a giant hole is easy to remember. Leaving a reminder would only compromise its secrecy.

Just remember the hole into the shaft, should be a good enough landmark. With rope it could also be another entrance/exit, it seems.

In any case, those baby worms sure aren't going to starve.

You know maybe you should change your clothes. You're still awfully pink and I can't imagine clothes with dried in worm blood are very comfortable.

Just enough for me to feel like a human being again. I really hope I can remove this new tint, I like this shirt.

I'll leave you guys to decide on that; I just don't care, as long as they don't become megabugs. And with the exits closed, they shouldn't.

>baby worms, aren't going to starve
That's two parts disturbing and five slices of true.

I have no idea; it's been way more than an hour down that place.
... but I don 't know many places with a blue roofing around. I must be in between two klicks and a mile from the village.

>Miss K, Manuel, McLaughing, being reported
Well, the consensus seem to be going to Miss K. Maybe with the right chat, she can convince Manuel to not rat me out; or at least, to be my middlewoman.
Damn, this mess is way bigger than just getting in and out. I really made my bed this time.

Its a trapdoor under a rock by the side of a giant ventilation shaft. I don 't think I'll have any trouble finding it again.

"I guess nothing is perfect."

I said on IRC a few time,s but here it goes; the achievements and sidequest lists were reset due to under-the-hood changes on the game.

>>163302
By under-the-hood changes he means "I lost my notes"

son, im disapoint.

i expected a bit more of looting. are you gonna walk 2 clicks just because you got 6 silver?

>>163346
The REAL treasure is an unsecured entrance.

We also got a few new items.
