The method of movement is rolling or crawling. Rolling is not disorienting, surprisingly, but neither is it very fast or impressive.

The composition of its body is well past its knowledge or concept.

try to encase one that is smaller then you.

Bump into the other creatures a few times each and see if any respond.

Move toward one of the glassy/mirrored surfaces.

It gets on top of a slightly smaller one.

The smaller one wiggles uncomfortably and it feels a bit funny, but nothing else happens aside from the slow crumbling of at least one creature's dignity.

It begins moving to the left most portal. Before it makes it, one of them makes it to the right one. It blips out of sight, and the outer ring of the platform begins flashing red.

It moves into the portal, and the ground on the outer rim dissolves.

It has gained 20 C.U., which it may spend.

After spending the points, the newly formed naga finds herself on another platform with a blob on the other side of this set of platforms. There are 10 portals in the center, and she counts 10 sets of platforms like her own, with 20 total creatures including herself.

She can hop to another platform or stay still.

The sign is completely unreadable for her as she is.

The other blob was able to hop far, as though the non-solid line carried it over.

>>405930
Watch the blob. If it hops one forward and that doesn't empty out platform 3, then match it by hopping one forward.

If platform 3 on your side disappears, hop one back.

If it tries hopping two forward super fast, match it!

As one side hops forward, the hole on the other side hops forward. Wait until the blob has hopped forward to before the hole, then hop backward to plunge it into the hole where surely awaits a horrible death.

That or say hi.

>>405937
no, if he hops forward then the hole will have to loop around so we lept to our death, stay together. point forward and nod to it. stay in time.

Continue hopping. When you meet on that platform, eat the blob.

It looks like if we waited, we could totally bypass him once he hops forward.

If we want to be even, and trust him, then continue forward.

If we want to be suspicious and either screw him over (or discover our mutual distrust) then stay still.

She would like to say hi to the blob, or apologize for what might end with her killing it, but she can only understand speech, not speak it. Even so, she finds it easier to think after getting that C.U., as though her mental facilities were bottlenecked earlier. All it is currently serving to do is make her nervous about this scenario.

Time appears to be moving in steps. If she waits and the blob moves forward, then by the time she makes her move in response, the blob will be able to move again. In other words, all actions appear instantaneously done by everyone at once.

She gestures to the blob to move forward, and they both leap. She is ready to leap again.

oh snap. looks like moving backwards does move the hole back. And that if the other person goes away, the path opens up completely. Still advocating advancement.

>>405943
Motion for it to jump back one with you, then jump back as well.

Reasons:
* You may empty the next platform, preventing it from moving ahead. If the next platform *doesn't* empty, then you know that you can't kill someone by jumping back.
* If it stays still, you can distrust it.

Only problem: If the fourth platform doesn't empty AND it moves forward, it wins the game. (Unless it requires both of you to be on the fourth platform to fill in the fifth.)

this is a competition, if the previous one was any indication the losers die. Don't lose.

lets keep doing what has worked so far, motion to the blob to move foward and lets move at the same time.

I notice a pattern.
Each of the ten forks has 2 rows of platforms, each of those has a hole, the hole is located 2 circles ahead of the location of the being on the other side of said fork.
So presumably some cooperation with the blob on the other side is required.

She leaps forward once more, but even though she gestured to go forward, the blob did not move.

go forward.

flash your tits to the blob to get it to move.

>>405956
Leap of faith. Go forward one.

* If it jumps back, the hole goes back one and you skip it.
* If it waits a round, you jump forward and die.
* If it jumps forward (probably planning to, so you jump back and it gets ahead by one), you'll still get on platform 5.

Oh my. Greed or guaranteed speedy completion? I'm curious to see what's in the chest... but I have no clue whether there's a drawback. Seeing as there are 10 portals in the center and 20 contestants, you should have a guaranteed portal... but take a look and check if there are any pairs of folks on the final platform like you.

Go through the portal, greed can wait til later

There's not necessarily a "quickly" - It'll take nine moves to get that chest and get to the portal platform, so it's important to see now whether any pairs are going to complete the game together.

Before taking her move, she looks around.

There are 8 platforms left, and at least 4 others that are finished.

If she gets the chest, she will be counting on luck either by either a few of them taking a very long time, or going back to the chest themselves if they also get one.

i highly doubt we would be the only one to be given a chest. go get it.

She runs as fast as she can to the chest, which is to say, at the exact speed as everyone else but in a more desperate looking manner.

The chest has her face on it, but she can't read the words. Looking around, there is another person that is heading back to where a chest might have appeared for them, so perhaps the chests are intended for a single person.

She doesn't need to take any additional action to open the chest, as soon as she finishes landing on its platform, it pops open.

She has a choice, the first is to gain 12 C.U.

The other is access to the absorption skill line. Absorption allows the taking of a portion of someone's total C.U., both spent and unspent. They can only be absorbed during the moment in which they are disintegrating. This only allows access to the ability, and must be purchased with C.U.

The absorption item is gained, and appears to take up her item slot. It will be used when she enters the portal, but she could see this as problematic if she ever came across two items.

And speaking of two, there are two portals, and one blob and the other lizard creature have just reached the platform at the same time.

Movement on the platform feels free, unlike taking turns on the platforms themselves.

>>/questdis/361862: Regarding weapon forms: "However, its usefulness as a tool is as it appears..."
For a weapon, I'd call for a fully stocked, very sturdy red (to match her hair) toolbox, with a rod attached to the bottom so she can wield it like a two-handed warhammer.
If that's deemed to be too exploitive of the rules, then I choose a hybrid one-handed warhammer/warax, with one side of the head being a hammer and the other being an ax. With the head colored the same shade of red as her hair.

For armor, first choice is to go with thicker scales overall, with a skirt-like green wrap around her waist, and a proper white sports bra instead of a chest wrap.

You people are being so very, very short on ranged offense. Why no killing before they get close enough to hurt us when they're frothing at the mouth and swinging a battleaxe?

She is tempted to go in the nude, but she would rather look pretty and not have herself bounce around as she moves and all sorts of other excuses to get herself to put on some clothes. It would not be a surprise for her to see options later on that allow additional suits and weapon forms, in which case she will remember the others.

Her hair is now maneuverable enough to strike with it as a weapon, but not with great fine control.

The lizard from before is set up as her opponent this time. It shouts a greeting out to her, and claims it wants to work together. He sounds afraid, or good at pretending to be. He says he can only speak, though, and he does not know how to understand others.

She gives a thumbs up, he gives a smile, both leap forward. In light of the effects of doing so, she isn't sure if she should do anything different before or during her hops to 5, 8 and 9.

She makes a note of the lit up '4' in the distance, and will notice if any change occurs.

proceed, observe the appearing whiteness as you do as well as the count.

oh shit, if you both jump to the correct square you BOTH die.
What needs to happen is you stay still and he goes one forward.
Then he stays still and you go one forward.
Then one of you going towards the nine and the other not (if you both go you both die).

It is a problem since you can't speak and he can't understand. But maybe if you use hand symbols?

Alternatively, he is kinda wimpy looking. I think we could go forward, go to his part, kill him, get both chests, get the code, and go forward.
Problem is, based on previous games you could be competing for a limited number of gates to next level.

Hmm pretty sure the unlock code is for the chests, not killing each other. The problem is that he has an easy route to the end with hopping to the 1, then the exit. He also can just wait by the chest and be ahead of you easily as well.

we need to go 5-8-9 if want the chest. he goes 7-5-4 and we both get to the chest square.

if he can read then he will know his own unlock code.

Heres what you should do, have him wait, gesture for him to stay put, while you hop through the passcode then head to the chest. Have him head to his chest. Finally you both can proceed to the exit.

You know what, have him proceed to the chest while you hop through the passcode. He can unlock and procced to near the exit while you unlock your own chest. Then you can bypass the 3 that he destroys. Have him wait for you on the unnumbered one and you can both proceed to the exit together.

She points to the 5, 8 and 9, then the chest. He confirms it with his speech.

He moves to 4 and her to 8, making nother jump go according to plan. Both have more reason to be at ease for the moment, as it doesn't look like there is an immediate way to kill one another with any jumps. The lizard asks where to go, and how he is supposed to open his own chest.

point to his chest and when he jumps to it, jump to 9.

Point to the chest platform, and hop to 9. Im hoping that that both chests open if one person gets the passcode since he had no way to go through the code without going on a non-code number.

Isn't he right where he needs to be? Just jump to the chest and then back.

He can go chest, 4, 3, out. You can go 9, chest, 9, 8, 1, out.

>>406274
We've been following the unlock code, but since doing so breaks their pieces we can't both follow the same one.

On that note, it looks like it was impossible for him to go 5-8-9. Either the password works for both chests at once, and required us to do it the whole time, or he has a completely different password.

Given how sadistic this place has been, I suspect that once one of us gets to the blank tile all of the numbered tiles (or at least the opponent's) will break. That might not be the case, given that this room seems geared toward teamwork, but all the same we should play it safe and have both of us reach the blank tiles simultaneously.

After observing what happened when 6 disapeared we might get a straight jump to the exit platform after he hits his 3 so we dont have to go to the 1. If not well >>406273 has the right idea.

I'd suggest just pointing to the chest or shrugging. After he gets it, tell him to go to 3 and then to the top platform but motion to halt with sudden open palms, then you should head for 1 after getting your chest.

I think that would work. Granted that he won't do anything to screw you.

Gesture for him to wait where he is. and point how you will move to 9. When we reach 9, that will hopefully unlock both chests. Then we'll check together.

The lizard jumps to his chest, and she jumps to the 9.

A click is heard from her chest, and hers alone. The sound of her chest's lock hitting the platform isn't enough to drown out the awkward silence.

>>406293
Too bad for the lizard guy. Jump to the 3 then get the chest.

>>406295
no no, don't do that. Just look at him and try to look sorry and exasperated. lots of hand waving.

He can't do anything to prevent you from completing except standing at the exit and trying to fight, and given how easy it would be for people to screw eachother on this challenge, there is probably not going to be a race for the exits.

we really need some goddamn speech.

>>406301
To be fair, it wouldn't have helped here.

look apologetic, then move to the chest and point to the path he would have to take to reach you. if he can't reach you open the chest and see if we can share half of what we find in the chest with him

She gives a look to him, trying to look apologetic, but all she can do is hope it came off as intended. He frowns, but does not appear terribly angry as he jumps to his 4. She can't say that jumping to her 3 to end his options didn't occur to her, but she doesn't do so. He doesn't appear as unhappy, knowing how easy that would have been.

This chest doesn't have her face on it, but like the other one, she gets a choice.

+28 CU
OR
Access to Mid-air Jump ability to be available for purchase at any time, costs 150 CU
OR
A Mid-air Jump item. It does not cost any CU to use, but it can only be used once.

Mid air jumps can be used as either a double jump, or to jump after falling off of something.

double jump is a interesting thing. but only if there are going to be a lot more of these things. and i mean a LOT.
anyway, get the CU. and jump back.

CU we still have the consume ability as our item, and I doubt that saving up 150 cu would be viable.

we already have an item, so that's kinda out. I'd like to do a lot of upgrades, so I vote C.U.

A SPECIAL ability item only requires an item slot until it is brought to the end of the stage, then is used up and the possibility to purchase it is there forever.

She picks out the 28CU, which appear as coins in manifest form. She puts them in an imaginary pocket.

hold up coins to show him, point to end area

Give him half the coins when you meet up.

Point to the 3 tile, then the blank tile, then sharply gesture downward with flat palms down, in what he'll hopefully read as "stay put." Jump in the order of 9-8-1-blank. Give him 10 C.U., if possible, as thanks for working together. Then he can buy the ability to understand speech.

She waves the coins over to him, and tries to gesture to him to stay put, but he looked away. Both jump two times.

He looks over to his number 1. It would drop her if he landed on it, and she can't get his attention.

Try throwing a coin at him to get his attention. If that doesn't work, just go ahead and jump - if he lands on the 1 before you do, you'll be stuck here anyway. Besides, he doesn't actually have any reason to jump onto the 1. Unless he's decided to... terminate your partnership.

>>406337

Well, leap of faith time. If he moves to 1 either you disintegrate now or you die of starvation unable to reach the exit.

Nothing to do but trust him. You lose either way.

If he jumps on the 1, you're screwed whether you're on the 1 tile or not.

Can you spend 10 C.U. right now to get the speech ability and yell to him, or can it only be spent at the end of a level? Otherwise... Uh... Bang on the floor?

It would drop him too though, wouldn't it? Don't you move at the same time?

Anyway, there's nothing for it but to trust him. If he decides to fuck you, falling and being stuck are both the end of your adventure.

>>406337
If you can't get his attention, there's nothing you can do but get onto square 1. Hop to it.

She tries to hit the ground, and he looks over, showing that she's jumping to her one. He shouts that he wasn't going to jump on his number 1. Twice, in fact, trying very hard to convince her. She takes a leap of faith with nothing else to do, and he proves his word.

Another jump is taken, and both have cleared the number grid.

As far as she knows, CU can only be spent at the end of a level.

Nothing left to do but jump over to his tile. Give him a hug, or at least a handshake, for working together and not screwing you over. Maybe give him 10 C.U. so he can buy the speech ability, if you can.

It feels weird seeing someone up close. As a blob, she was barely able to formulate memories, so that time she rolled on top of another blob feels like a long past daydream.

The lizard appears absolutely ecstatic that she didn't backstab him while she had the chance, and even moreso when she gives him 10 CU. He is more than willing to engage in hugs.

He says it's very strange that it didn't show a combination to his own chest, but mostly he just wants to get out of here, and hopes there is an end. He doesn't think he is cut out for this.

Hey, he's doing well enough so far. Give him a reassuring smile, then head on to the end of the level - if it is the end of the level - so you can spend that CU and actually talk to each other.

Dawwww, wasn't that pleasant? Now onwards, together!

See if you can hold on to his hand while you both jump over the exit link. This place seems like it'll try to split you up, but maybe direct contact will stop it.

Ability to speak; save the rest in order to get special abilities in future.

speak, save rest.

Buy only the speech ability; Bank the rest to go towards buying the absorption ability, or other abilities, later.

Compliment him on his playing, and say you weren't offered the music ability in the second stage like he was; You found this absorption ability purchase offer instead. Ask which abilities he chose for himself.

In order to make use of the absorption ability we are going to have to either actively try to kill people, hope they screw up somehow and end themselves, or hope they try to kill us to give us moral precedent to retaliate.

We should probably consider changing our item, or our playstyle.

>>406375
This. Picking absorption is sort of a dedication to a more cut throat playstyle. And as soon as we had a chance to be nice and cooperate, we took it.

It may not be the appropriate skill for us. We can save points, and see how things turn out, but I wouldn't suggest being totally dedicated to it.

>>406374
this.

I think we're going to be pit against other teams in the future so having the abiity to gain CU quicker is a definite plus. I say we save up for absorption

I noticed we don't have the option to buy understand speech a second time.

I hope that doesn't mean it's not an option at all for anyone right now, and that it was just a glitch or trick last time.

Gained: Speech

She gives him a nice complement on his flute playing. It isn't a polite lie, either, he is very good.

He says that some people get skills out of nowhere that probably won't help much in the stages. It seems to be entirely luck, but he doesn't know how frequent it is. He thanks her, and says he seemed to get better at it when he upgraded his weapon. Then he smiles, and thinks her new voice is very sweet, and so shows that he got the ability to understand her.

After asking, he explains that he has a Rank 4 weapon, aside from his rank 1 body, speech and understanding.

He asks, with a shake in his voice, if she has a name.

>>406380
Correct. I said if we buy absorption, it could go to waste unless we become more cut throat, whereas we seem to be playing fairly nicely.

I didn't say 'kill our little lizard friend to feed an ability we don't have yet'.

Save CU. Absorption, damn it! We need to be more aggressive.

I propose the name Alison

>>406385
Ah poop. K.

We're Threeflower, because we're prissy ninnies.

>>406386
I like Alison.

7 ranks? Man that's just unfair. Well, let's make the best of it. Speech is good if we're playing the collaboration role.

Of course, there's no need to decide until we have enough CU to actually get a special ability. Who knows - we might find something more useful by then.

As for a name, how about Tiamat? Ask if he has a name too.

>>406386
Alison sounds good. Does he have a name?

>>406391
How about Tia instead of Tiamat? I think it sounds a little better.
Ask if he has a name. Oh, and tell him your abilities as well.

The banked C.U. doesn't have to go towards the absorption ability, but I'd feel a little silly if we didn't buy it after going to the trouble of getting the chance to. We'd just have to earn back 30 C.U. from its use to cover its cost, and others are bound to end up dying nearby eventually, whether we cause it or not. Why not profit from that?

Her name is Alison. He says it is very nice, before she asks if he has a name.

He shakes his head, and says no one named him before. That gets a chortle out of Alison, who explains she just made it up now.

A similar chortle comes out of the lizard, who thinks for a moment before saying that his name will be Iso.

The light trail ends, and they are pushed to the next part of the stage. There are already five others running for the exit.

>>406396

Hold it. Are any of the platforms disappearing or appearing?

This seems uncharacteristically straight forward.
Guess you better get a move on though.

this looks like the battle stage. go go go.

looks like the gate is only going to let 4 more people through. run for it.

If only we had a ranged weapon to stop four people reaching that door before we could get near.

Lean right to avoid the guy with the axe. Path's no longer either way.

Weapon appearance has no impact on strength. Iso has a Rank 4 Flute. It's just as powerful as a rank 4 axe, or a rank 4 Space Batltleship Yamato Wave Motion Gun combat wise.

I do think we should continue along holding hands with Iso.

Wait so you're not fast. The gate can only take 4 more before vanishing. And there are 6 objects closer to the gate than you, not counting your lizard friend.

I'm thinking we may have got the short end of the stick here.

Try going up to leave via one of the light pathways behind you that enter the room. Preferably one the others came from.

How do you know it's a counter over the door? It could just indicate this area or the next is stage 4, or that we have to defeat 4 opponents to continue. We just don't know right now.

Stick together, advance up the middle, and avoid fighting for now.

One jump is taken, and the number goes down when the first one enters. It is like the portal system, except inside of a building.

It does not look like the platforms are changing from any movement, the only danger appears to be that the paths converge, forcing people to either hang back, fight, or hope their paths intersect with a nice person.

Iso almost doesn't jump with Alison, making her wonder how he got this far.

The one at the front just turns around instead of jumping inside.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say that not only are all three hostile, but that at least one is more interested in killing than continuing. Let's keep going, and try catching their weapons with our hair while Iso attacks them.

I can think of 3 motives for him doing that off the top of my head.

1. he wants to kill on of the remaining peopel for revenge

2. he teamed up with one or more of the renaming people and wants to make sure they make it, unlikely since there are enough slots for all but two of those who remain.

3. he has some ability similar to absorption and wants to get cp by killing others.

however since you all move at the same speed his motive doesn't matter since no matter what your going to reach the end last. lets hope its number 3 so he won't just go through himself and leave you and iso alone with a portal that will only take one more.

>>406414
Dude probably has Absorption or some other incentive to stay back and be a jerk.

Can Iso attack from range with his flute? In any case, keep moving forward toward the center with Iso.

It looks like combat resolves instantly (or appears to resolve instantly) upon entering a platform with another character. If you and Iso land on the platform with the gate guard, you may be able to take a hit with your armor while he attacks the dude.

>>406418
Even if you and Iso are left with one counter on the gate, you two move instantly. You might both still be able to get through.

Looks like he's going to block the exit and take on the others. I'd bet he's got an absorption ability.

Keep moving up together, and see if the other two fight the guy at the gate. If one hesitates, try to talk to it and maybe convince it to team up with you to take this guy down.

go forward and right until you reach the end.

If you hang back, then that guy might be defeated and 2 will pass by him, leaving a door that only you or Iso can pass, not both.
However, it is more likely he will beat the first one to rush him. The other can join up you two to gang up on him.
Or heck, all 4 can gang up on him at once and if none of you die then you could have some sort of wager on who passes...
Being combat optimized he would beat you 1v1. And he probably cannot speak.
So start by talking and seeing who else here can to recruit allies on the fight against him.
Also, do not wait, proceed forward at max speed.

The tallest one yells to the quadruped to team up. The quadruped stops at the second to last set of platforms, and lets the axeman catch up to the other platform.

Alison and Iso continue forward all the while, and the big ones wait a turn without moving.

Alison asks why they don't both leap at him, that she does not know anything about combat. The axe wielder explains that when two people engage in combat, both attacks are dealt at the same time. Both the axeman and the quadruped killed their opponents in one hit, but the axeman admits that his health was hindered by his opponents attack, and bets that the quadraped's health is down as well.

In other words, everyone may leap at the guardsman, but the guardsman has a very good chance of slaying one person as he himself is slain.

On asking about range, the axeman says that if there is an upgrade for ranged abilities, he hasn't seen anyone with it. He has seen someone who got a gun, only to have the bullet disappear after melee range. The look on the gunman's face was the greatest thing the axeman had ever seen.

>>406432
The blocker may be too smart to let them both jump at him. Jump forward, tell them to wait, and get ready to attack him four at once.

Worst case, you'll all jump to the last platform as the blocker jumps away, and then you can all jump into the 2 gate simultaneously. Who knows what'll happen?

go forth as one! with the power of friendship!

"then we will come up too and all 4 of us will attack at once, whoever he doesn't attack will live and leave three left for the gate" then if whispering works, tell iso "don't actually jump, let them do it"

>>406438
They might hear you, and this might backfire.

Also, I bet he is going to jump forward and kill one of them. He is near guaranteed it will be a 1v1 battle for him to win and at worse someone else will get to the gate first but still leave him a slot to take.
Unless one of them jumps to share a square with the other without attacking him which gives a 50%-50% chance of engaging or not.

We better compare health and armor levels between the four of us, and ask if they saw the guardsman fight anyone else before you two arrived. Move up to the tile behind and between the quadruped and the axeman for now.

>>406438
There is a risk with this plan that nobody will make the actual jump, or only one will.

Yeah uh, let them duke it out. Once one gets disintegrated, the other two and you two can leave. Nobody else is coming up behind you?

good odds the mouse will jump forwards and take out one of them however he will probably jump the axmen so as to not be near you and iso. either way you should keep going towards the exit.

Alison whispers to Iso while the other two are distracted that she will try to get everyone to jump at the same time, but if it works, not to jump with them.

Iso does not like being so treacherous, but he doesn't think any less of Alison for it. With that, they move forward twice. Surprising to her, the Guardsman does not jump forward at anyone. No one else is coming in from behind.

Alison asks to jump at the same time. Someone will die, but this way, it will solve the issue with only three people able to get through.

The Axeman says that is reckless, and won't jump with a quarter chance of dying. When Iso asks if there is any alternative, the Axeman falls silent for a moment before acknowledging he will jump with everyone, as there is a time limit on these stages, and eventually the stage begins dissolving at the back towards the portals. The Quadruped nods in agreement, and will jump as well.

Alison and Iso share their armor and health levels. The axeman says he has 1 health remaining, 2 armor and 2 weapon. The Quadruped cannot speak.

If there are any doubts for her to go through with this plan, she will have to speak up immediately.

The guardsman isn't talking. He must have buffed everything else and not communication. Or perhaps he's a respawning enemy? This is confusing.

if I were you I wouldn't trick them. y'know, make some friends.

>>406456
Wait!

Maybe the guardsman can't communicate! He hasn't killed anyone yet, and maybe he's waiting for everyone to get there so they can all jump into the portal at once!

Tell everyone to stop, and try to communicate to the guardsman with gestures and possibly speech (if he can understand and not speak).

Don't have Iso hang back. He is an absurd striker, and him staying behind could easily get him screwed over (like if the guard runs away, then you have three people waiting for a door with two more openings, and Iso is left standing a square behind)

Alison cancels the plan for the time, and attempts to communicate to the Guardsman with gestures. He does not seem to understand words, and Alison does not know how to try and convey that she wants to find out his motives or similar things.

The only thing the Guardsman does is motion Alison towards himself.

>>406468
Agreed... but how to convey that info to Iso? whispering looks suspecious.
We could stand our ground too, and then the other two jump and we hope they don't both survive or only one of us and iso will...
Ugh, we dug ourselves a hole in being trecherous

>>406471
Tell Iso "Never mind what I said earlier."

Check if the Guardsman is okay with Iso coming along too.

I got it... simply say outloud
"You know what Iso, I think they are genuinely honest and will do as they said.
Forget about the contingency we made on the way here. Let all 4 of us attack him together, united"
And then all of you jump together at him.

Alternatively (or concurrently), you could say "trust me" and use your hair to lift Iso and take him with you when you jump. Since its not an attack your prehensile hair should be able to do so.

>>406471
The Guardsman apparently put pretty much everything into combat. I doubt he planned on working with anyone. He might let us through, but only because it means fighting less people at once.

>>406472
We could flat out tell Iso in a normal voice that we have changed our mind and we need him to come with us.

Yes, it does let the other two know we were planning sneeky plans, but it also lets them know we have changed them. And it helps us in the even that one of the OTHER two are being duplicious. If one or both of them hang back, then we are guaranteed at least two attackers.

>>406476
Addendum: He could also do the obvious thing and just kill us, getting a much easier fight, after which he could decided to fight some more or leave.

I say we take one for the team and have everyone wait while you jump without attacking. And then if he kills you the others will just rape his face. But if he doesn't (or you survive) you'll have 3 (2 if he is a dick and you don't die) more buddies that can make the exit together. Tell Iso to try and make more allies if you don't make it.

>>406480

Alison tell Iso to nevermind what was said earlier. She will jump and bring him with her. Axeman thinks it is a bad idea, but he will be indebted to her if she does so.

Iso and Alison take the leap, but not to attack. She can only hope that she is right in thinking that he is not as threatening as he looks.

Guardsman used an item, Double Attack Counter Interruption (Stationary Defense Only)!
No attack to counter! Attack fails!

The Guardsman's demeanor completely flips, and it looks far from aggressive now. Alison's gut is telling her that if he wants to hop off of this platform to flee, he will be able to do so before she gets a chance to attack him at her current spot.

>>406485
Now, this is a long shot, and may sound a bit perverted, but I think it may be the easiest solution for a distraction on your part, but rub your curvacious body sensually. That might not take up a turn and allow him to escape, gestures and speech seem to be a free actions.

>>406485
Well, if the Guardsman's wants to flee, its alright. Just rush for the exit. You, Iso and the guard are 3 people and there are 3 slots. So rush the exit. Go! Schell!

To the exit. Congrats, daring won.

exit.

Aha! He counted on the item annihilating you (and it would have) but because you did not try to kill him it failed. Knowing he is beaten he flees.

The other two were supposed to jump with you and didn't despite promising.
Well, jump through the gate with Iso and the guardsman.

>>406507
It seems to me that the other two saw that we were saying we'd jump ahead first. From their point of view, we were going in without them.

>>406511
what? we all 4 were supposed to jump at once. The result was supposed to be him and 1 of us dead and the 3 remaining going in.
They didn't jump which would have instead resulted in him dead or injured and at least one of us 2 dead. Their plan was to mop up and go in... It backfired horribly since now us and the guardsman are just gonna jump and use up the 3 remaining slots.

>>406512
Then they saw us arrange with the guardsman to go to him alone.

We said we'll bring Iso along, but didn't tell the other two to jump in with us. They have no reason to think we were trying to trick the guardsman.

Axeman thought it was a bad idea because we were cutting down our numbers for some reason.

>>406513
No we didn't, he CHALLENGED us to dare come at him and that had no effect on our agreement with our temporary allies.
All 4 attacking at once is ideal for him since he had an artifact that would nullify all attacks against him and double retaliate. It would have either killed all 4 of us or just 2 of us depending on the semantics of the item's rules. At worse he would be unharmed and in the same square as 2 others with 3 slots available and attacking at leisure.

We can always kill the other two and ally with the guardsman, right?

Sod attacking. You're at the gate. Go through.

Iso can likewise follow this turn.

pat the guardsmen on the head and make for the gate.

exit.

She doesn't know precisely what the Guardsman's item does, but she knows that she was probably quite lucky.

>Pat the guardsman
Alison thinks that would be breaching his kill zone.

There's no time to dwell on anything, and the guardsman flees into the door. Iso and Alison jump forward to go in with him. The timer falls to zero, and the door slams shut against the unfortunate Axeman and Quadruped.

The room with the four survivors starts moving upwards, acting as an elevator. It also serves as another area in which Alison and the others may spend points.

The previous number for armor/weapon rank 2 was mistaken. Apologies!

Absorption!

absorbtion and body.

After purchasing upgrades, we should put our READING ability to use by seeing what is in those books.

Hug Iso

Absorption and body.

Meh, saved by tits.

>>406548
this. iso has a rank 4 weapon so we should focus on building our defense and letting him do the offense.

Body is increased to 2, Absorption Rank 1 is gained, hugs are given, flutes are played, and books are retrieved.

There is a mix of fiction and non-fiction. She doesn't know any books or any of their authors, or if they have anything to do with anything.

The non-fiction ones are textbooks on various topics. There is a mathbook, a history book labeled "After the First Warp Drive Changed Everything," physics and engineering, among a couple of others.

She isn't sure if there is any point in learning any of this stuff, but there wouldn't be any point of putting books here if she wasn't given time to read any of them.

hehehe, boobies.

As tempting as history is, start with engineering then physics. Your survival depends on learning how the heck this place works.

Math, then Physics, then Engineering

>>406563
Read the history to gain context, then move on to science. A backdrop is necessary for most technology to be understood.

She grabs science books and the mathematics. The engineering is very broad, and mostly touches on subjects as civil engineering, fluid mechanics, chemicals and basic construction. That's as far as she gets before her lack of education gets the better of her.

The physics book begins with vectors, lots of graphics and lots and lots of mathematics. She only knows simple arithmetic that came with her ability to read, so she opens up the mathbook. It is very thick, and goes all the way from arithmetic and fractions into a great deal of calculus, probability and statistics.

The mathematics appear accurate enough, but everything else does not seem to help much. They are labeled as non-fiction, but whatever these books are, they may as well be all fiction given that they do not seem to apply to her own world. That includes the history book. She has never heard of any of the people or species inside of what is supposed to be a real history.

The Guardsman is rummaging through the cabinet, tossing boxes and cards around.

well who knows. if it is real for this world then it could be important. and since we have absorption we should have a empty inventory space so snag a book.

You can learn more about a person in one game of Monopoly than you might living with them for a year.

Alison pockets the math book and puts the rest away. It doesn't seem to take up a slot in her normal inventory, so she won't have to worry about keeping it through another stage.

She gets a game, and invites Iso to play with her. Iso's case of illiteracy makes that difficult, so cards are played instead. Alison still has to play for Iso half the time, but that time passes easier.

The Guardsman continues his rummaging frenzy, and looks in another box. Instead of tossing it aside, he moves to the corner behind the counter and sits on the box, fidgeting occasionally.

see if the guardsman can understand you, if so try and make friends.

guessing he found tools.

Excusing herself, Alison goes to attempt to make friends.

Her words and gestures get the Guardsman to shakes his sword menacingly at her while keeping a grip on the box with his other hand.

He's unable to attack you. Hug him, then go see what the worm's like.

Hug him

Go back to Iso and tell him you've got a plan to see what the Guardsman has in the box, but you need his help. Since the Guardsman almost certainly can't read, he doesn't know this room is a safe zone and he can't attack. You're going to lift him off the ground in a hug. Then Iso runs over, grabs the box, runs back, and dumps it on the table.

If you hug him, beware of motorboating!
He looks like a motorboater.

I vote for honest hugs. If he wants protect the box let him. We want to see if we can make him a bit more friendly not the opposite.

A hug is applied, and the sign does not lie. He can't read, and tries his absolute best to kill Alison. She can feel the sword hitting her backside, but she isn't receiving any damage, nor motorboatings.

It looks like while no damage can be done, someone can still push others around.

Iso has come nearby, and appears to be going for the box while looking up to Alison for silent permission to fetch the box.

lets not, we don't want him to think this was an attack, ultimately we want to make friends with this guy. he sees to be able to handle himself very well in a fight.

Vote for taking the box. If it's worth hiding its worth stealing. If it isn't worth hiding, the Guardsman a dick AND an idiot. So fuck him.

>>406676
Start petting him
Scratch a little behind his ears

vote against box investigations.

Take the box. Let's be a little more treacherous. Jeez. Come on.

we have to at least see what's inside
