Hey, use the shard on the portal like a mannikin, maybe it will let us get out of here.

Can you make that lever less obvious?
Also, Ask the 'bold what he's drawing.

You should consider confiscating the board for use in schematics and things.

Aww, Tislomer is in wuv. How adorable.

>>27362
You're going to at some point. I see no problem with allowing things to continue as they are for the time being, however.

>>27366

Also, Finesse, if you get some free time, disguise that lever as a torch.

Good idea. I'll make a note to make the lever less obvious.

I don't want to return you to Master Muschio. I like having a window into his brain.

And I'm not going to poke Tislomer with a sharp shard.

>"Oh! Good morning Finnie."
The Kobolds have trouble with my name, so they've replaced it with another that takes just as long to say.
"'morning."

I join Tislomer in sketching on the blackboard for now.

well that explains this mystery..

>>27372

By the way, do you have multiple shards of us, or just one? Because, if you have several, and our line of sight moves with the shard, you could use us to scout out tight places, like the well, ventilation shaft, and that little hole in the wall.

Don't listen to the others, Finesse. We're happy to be with you. As long as Muschio's orb is otherwise intact and functional, I see no reason we can't stay with you.

And yes, try poking Tislomer with us. We ourselves are not entirely sure of how we work, but we have a few hunches.

>>27372
Make sure to draw a complimentary picture of the master. We can tell him the kobolds drew it because they're starting to respect him more.

>>27375

To clarify, I meant we could put us on a string, or a pole, or something. I sure as hell don't want you to lose a part of us.

>>27375
I believe there's just one.

>>27372

Hey.

Touch us to the monster gate. I wanna see if something happens.

Babrakus is hard at work in the workshop. Looks like he's got a project to occupy him.

I don't really like the noise when he's working.

>>27410
Maybe you could fine a way to soundproof the room? Sounds like a good idea.

>>27410
Maybe you should follow his lead. He's got his head wrapped up in a project. It's healthy.

>>27410
He's probably making Master Muschio's bed. He doesn't have one right now, and asked Babrakus to make one while he was out.

>>27410

Why don't you get to work on some sort of gadget? If the noise in there is too much, and whatever you decide to work on is not too conspicuous, then you could take a few tools and go work outside. You know, get some fresh air. If you decide to do this, put on something a little less revealing first, however.

Hey, since working with bone is not something you can do easily, why don't you make him a helmet shaped like the skull out of something actually workable?

Babrakus is too absorbed in his work to hear me say hello. It's probably for the best.

It's too loud to work in the workshop right now, so I set up in the back tunnel.
Time to tinker.

oooh, what kind of neat little items are you working on?

The poison dart gun might help as an offensive poison-delivery system, but I don't think I could come up with all the parts unless we got an armorer to help.

Still, the premise is solid. I'll keep it in mind.

Hm.
Now let's see.

>>27422

Indeed.

What have you decided to work on, Finesse?

>>27419
Well, the spring for a dart gun only needs to be strong enough to fling something a short distance and pierce skin.
And not tough skin, either, I don't doubt anything with thicker than normal skin is going to be resistant or immune to poison anyway.
The poison can wait. Get out the springs and try to fling little sharp things accurately across the room.

>>27427

Are you waiting for us to suggest things?

If so, then... well... I've got nothin'.

Can we take a look at our total dungeon inventory again?

>>27427

How about a spring-loaded arrow trap at the front entrance?

Disassemble the traps. Let's get as many components as possible and make something lovely.
Hm, maybe a spring-loaded spear launcher that you could put into a shirt sleeve?

A digger. With which to further expand the dungeon? Perhaps a pit fall trap or two outside the lair?

Use the middle of the paper to plan evil overlord costume for Muschio.
When you're done schlicking, turn it over and get some actual work done.

>>27440

Great idea, but I think we're missing a few key components for the unicorn.

Like that other guy said, see if you can disassemble some of the old traps. Don't hurt yourself, though; that last time with Muschio was rather cringe-worthy.

I already said I can't dig or renovate. Moats, pits, that's not my stuff.

But there's something to what you said about the springs and the skin-breaking dart, so maybe...

>Use the middle of the paper to plan evil overlord costume for Muschio.

>>27440
Well, here's an easily concealable dart launcher. The launcher can be worked into a bracer and worn under clothing. It requires only a small amount of force to trigger, so a casual touch to the forearm could do it. We are missing a few parts, though.

Do both. Spring-loaded spikes are a good part of ANY overlord's armor.

>>27451
Once you're done, don't forget to write a clean version to another piece of paper.
I don't think evil overlord costumes work with unicorns too well.

>>27440
Funny, I wouldn't have thought of you as a fan of unicorns. The kittens are great, though.

>Use the middle of the paper to plan evil overlord costume for Muschio.
Actually, hey, yeah. We've been trying forever to get Master Muschio to wear a hat. But he just gets flustered and insists he looks bad in them.
Can you think of any hats for him, Finesse? We'll give you feedback and run them by him later!

>>27453

What are we missing?

Let's get some shit done tonight, fellow voices.

>>27453
Can we get any from the traps?

Well... we can both work.

I'll try to figure out what to tinker.
You can help design an outfit.

...as near as I can figure out, I think this is what Master Muschio looks like without his clothes on.

>>27457
everything pictured. Except Muschio.

>>27459
Inb4 Rudy Mann's suit

>>27453
Let me see. Tube can probably be made from wood. the thing that pushes the dart can too. However, wood is less durable than I'd like for these components. Spring must be metal. And strong, the spring is the main functional component. That's what provides power, while the smooth- and strait-ness of the pipe provide accuracy. Darts can be wood.

Just curious.

We need a robe with wide sleeves for hiding things in, pockets for stashing things, and a hugely wide brimmed hat. Muschio's nothing if not practical, remember.

It looks like his chest is frowning.

Second submission.

Then we should get Babrakus to make us a casing/bracer as well as a small wooden disc to sit on the end of the spring. Well, as soon as he's done with that bed.

It's going to be difficult to procure a spring of the exact size we need, however. I suggest we check the dungeon's existing traps for one, otherwise we might have to make our own. Then again, we might be able to get someone from a town to make one for us, since we don't seem to have a metalworker among us.

In any case, I'm going to find that guy who drew Muschio in a skirt and punch him in the dick.

So, uhm.

I wonder how Muschio is doing? Is he receiveing our input, or is the greater orb, like, dead?

This look is cool to. Normally, the cloak should enshroud all of Muschio's body, but when his arms are back, it should be behind him like so. Also, someone mentioned that since Muschio has a gigantic nose, he should have a gigantic collar, so if you agree with that, you should go with that instead of the small ones shown here.

>>27487
He's not a WIZARD jeez

I dunno, it just seems so... un-classy.

Needs tight pants underneath. Because hero-villains need tight pants. And in case something happens to the robe. Maybe a vest, too. Because vest.

The skull is just sort of assumed, though.

>>27503
Nantucket red is just a homophobe word for pink.
If we're going for red, I'd say a deep red, or even maroon. However, the world around us tends to be black and white, with only blood having color.

Honestly, I'm not sure if I like the black or the white better. They both have their merits.

>>27505
It's cool, but it looks more "adventurer" and less "evil overlord".

The boots don't really fit, either.

Tucked-in boots prevent things from getting at our feet without our express permission. This is highly important in evading foot-rot. It's practical. And really, the skull makes ANYTHING fit for an evil overlord. Just imagine it.
