There are probably guilder slavers in and beneath the city. If it's the same city Domonic fell into then they probably have him somewhere in there, the guilders also have Rose too.

Henry bit it due to carnivorous tentacle lurker fungus or something so watch out for any funny shaped or discolored walls, floors, or ceilings.

So, let's go check out the ruins, but with a mind to get are beings and perhaps some more equipments to visit the toxin laced city.

Why would you go to the ruins? You think we will find a magic armor +5? The only things to find in ruins are unstable ground and probably some predators (Like those tentacle things). So it's not a good idea. Maybe just a quick look to check if the guilder base is there.

The city on the other hand probably has Rose and Domonic in it. Rescue mission tiem? Sure it's dangerous but pinkskins need to stay together to survive.

Ahmed: "what is that you're holding, is it for me?"

robot: "this is a utility torch manufactured and used by the Titus Mining Guild, you may have it if you so desire"

Ahmed:"what happened here?"

robot: "over the years a great number of the statues in this shrine have been intentionally destroyed by the inhabitants of this world. I have tried to repair said statues but such work has proved impossible as the shards have been lost to the city below, thus the shrine is fated to remain in this vandalized condition"

Ahmed: "hmmm"

the pinkskin takes the torch

Ahmed: "so what does this thing do?"

robot: "The utility torch has a number of functions, though this one has only has the lenses for three. to create light, to start fires, and to blast apart rocks."

the pinkskin walks over to the statues

Ahmed: the broken statues are beyond recognition there's not telling what they once were. there are three remain the one on my left is of of an Astranian, the on the right appears to be a Guilder, the one in the center . . .

Announcer: "Mr. Pinkskin I think it's time we played a little game . . . "

Ahmed: "hmmf"

Announcer: "Here's the deal, one of these three statues no longer represents represents the glory of the Alliance, I want you to use that torch to destroy it. If you destroy the right one I will send down my ships to collect you and all of your surviving fellow contestants and take you away from this horrible place."

Ahmed: . . .

Announcer: "Easy right? maybe. here's some food for thought though, do you trust my word? can a Pinkskin trust the promise of an Astranian? and to that point I am assuring you that the lenses in the torch are at the moment properly aligned . . . but if I'm lying in that statement the torch will explode almost definitely killing you

so what are you going to do Pinkskin?"

Why do I imagine that the Astranians were the ones to destroy all this?

I can't see a reason why the bot would have had the lenses in a self-destructive alignment, unless each alignment only requires one lens, but that would be a profoundly retarded design.

I'd actually be temped to just rebuild the whole damn shrine out of spite, rather than destroy the guilder statue? I mean, all they are likely do is just drop us on some other shitty world, or into another arena, how is our death here any worse than elsewhere?

I think they need a better offer than just living another week for their mad games, then again Midori and Janine are unlikely to stand even a chance here, separated as we all are.
>>
No. 299844 ID: bbaf49

I'd not trust him. If you DO trust him:

If you shoot at the statue, shoot it from very close. If the alignment is good, you cut it. If the alignment is bad, it'll go off, killin you, and destroying the statue.
>>
No. 299851 ID: 980ade

Interesting... I do not really trust him. But it seems there isn't really an another way to save all of the humans in your group.

As for which statue to shoot that's difficult. Obilisks have fallen so that would be a good reason. Guilders would be a good guess to since now they are slavers, pirates and generally other rogue-ish jobs.

Also just for the record, for me the ones that are the farthest from the ideals and gloriousness of the Alliance would be Astrians themselves. You know for destroying this shrine and the planet (Because I suppose they did it to easily crush some resistane. And destroying a shrine that commemorates the founding of the alliance isn't really glorious)
>>
No. 299852 ID: 980ade

Also playing with other creatures lives, stealing technology from other alliance members (I heard rumors about it from the others, not really sure of it), wanting to kill their own champion and a lot of other things also isn't glorious.

So if you do decide to break that astrian statue you might as well tell them they have become mindless beasts obsessed with blood and malice rather than proud warriors and conquerors.

This. I wouldn't trust the announcer at all.
Also, ask the robot if it would help you, in exchange for help rebuilding the shrine, or getting out of here. It may be a machine, but as >>299301 said, it's one of the only things we've encountered so far that doesn't automatically hate our guts. And from the sound if what it said, it's trapped here too, stuck on an impossible task forever.

Even if they do come and get you out of here as promised, you'll probably just be sent into another deathgame afterwards. We need to regroup, and find allies, especially ones that know what the hell is going on.
>>
No. 299879 ID: cc04a7

If you play his game, the best-case scenario is you live another day under the thumb of these death games. True you might be saving some of the lives of the other humans, but do you really have any responsibility for them? Are you even allies, or merely companions only insofar as being put in the same mad world? I'm against playing the game.

Ahmed: "Robot, what are the proper alignments for the utility torch?"

robot: "I am afraid that I will not be able to help you in this way. I have been informed that such help would be detrimental to the nature of the "game" you've been asked to participate in, after reviewing the facts I find myself in agreement."

Ahmed: "if I destroy one of these statues, would you attack or try to stop me?"

robot: "no"

Ahmed: "If I gather the pieces for these statues would you help me in locating some of my allies?"

robot: " I am very sorry, but I have not been programed to make deals with solars. even if I decided to work around my programming there is a far less than 1% chance of you acquiring these statue fragments and returning them here. and even if you did some how achieve this feat the elapse time required would likely exceed the time the Alliance have set for you to remain here.

rig up a way to fire the torch from a distance.

The wise Obilisk always spoke much of their potential but despite strong words the more powerful Alliance races could never see much worth in them, the Titus were eventually delegated to manual labor and positioned as front line expendable troopers in times of war. In the end the Titus where greatful, greatful for the chance to fight the incomprehensible cruelty that were the Sun Cults and to fight under the banner of the glorious Astranian Alliance.

Midori and Janine would probably die from seeing you :P

Yeah, it might be nice to know why it got so POISON in here.

Also: We do know that the Guilders are somewhere in the city. Going there would be a good way to negotiate a way out of this planet/shoot, kill and steal a ship. So that's a vote for the direction after we listen to the bot.

Also: It might be true that he just counts on you to destroy a statue so he might point that you are a savage beast that doesn't care dor culture. But even so, your arguments would then make an even better point for the audience. Sure the humans made some incredibly bad things during the conflict... but that doesn't mean one can not point it out to the other side that both of them could make the fight a lot more "clean". But that is of course only if you want to make some kind of message before telling them you are not going to play his game.

Ahmed: "Robot, you did not answer my quesion, tell what happened to these "Titus" people"

robot: "in the early days of the alliance always were the Titus oppressed for their lack of quality, even onto the end of the first Cult War. Despite this abuse the Titus held no ill will to their fellow races and in fact would strive to impress them through sheer effort and toil. It was the Astranians who took notice that through countless losses in the cult war they had a developing loyalty, a determination and an endurance and the Astranians were indeed impressed. When the Obilisk began to fade and it fell to the Astranians to guide the future of the Alliance, they looked beyond the races of power and rewarded the Titus for their long service by appointing them as the new successor race and authority above all save for the Astranians themselves . Astranian scholars and scientists were dispatched to Daztrenian to teach the Titud of science and developement, through these new concepts mixed with centuries old Titus tradition the Commerce Guilds were formed bringing about a golden age that would last nearly two hundred years."

Tell the announcer that you just brought in the Historian market of audiences. Not every audience member is entertained by bloodshed.

No. 301285 ID: 5dfd16

If we are to destroy the statue this is likely the last juncture to do so, and if we do we should fire the weapon at the Guilder statue, while standing next to the Astranian one. At least if we died due to 'lol furry lies' the irony would be acceptable in the destruction of the true 'race of shame.'

However, I'm doubtful about the use of even getting off of this hellhole, to fall back into the frying pan of another arena. The only reason I even consider it is for the possibility of more recovery time for the badly wounded girls.

Ahmed: "honestly you should be happy Mr. Announcer, with all this history talk you now can pass this off as educational programming!"

Announcer: " . . . Very well, Pinkskin. enjoy your history lesson."

robot: " . . . for reasons still unknown, discontent began to develop, and the loyalty and courage that the Titus had maintained for long began to falter. and as the years press forward the discontent grew in into a seething hatred for the Alliance they once adored. Astranian diplomats tried to ease the aggression but the now blood thirsty Titus refused to see reason, and it quickly became apparent that this turmoil would end in but one way. Inevitably and predictably war broke out when the Titus assaulted the Astranian Colony Kalarscia. Astranian Commanders had long foreseen this bold move and had developed new weapons and technology to easily defeat their former ally. The Titus were out matched from the very beginning but despite the futility they fought on, for what goal remains a mystery as their madness and irrational hate would never end. The Titus Guilds would continue to pour soldiers into the fray even as their forces where pushed back to the Titus home world, Astranians had no desire to conquer the Guild Worlds and instead established a blockade in the desperate hope that the in time the Titus would recover from their mental ailments. the Astranians would come to regret this mercy . . .

When investigation forces finally arrived they discovered the blockade fleet had been completely annihilated and the world itself had become a toxic wasteland, the agents performed a lengthy investigation, information classified . the final verdict was that the Titus as a civilization was no more, what remained of it's people somehow twisted themselves into cyborg warmachines living on as parasites to the Alliance."

robot: "Solar, you asked me what happened to this world, I have told you all I can, but in the end I suppose I do not truly know the answer myself."

They made this world what it is now in order to cover up their acts of genocide. The survivors of that genocide became the Guilders.

Ahmed, we must find evidence of the alliance's crimes. That is our mission.

I support this notion, but try to go about it in a way not likely to move the announcer to make things harder on us. There is nothing left to learn here from the robot, either test the torch or leave.

I don't know... I mean there's also reason to suspect that the Obilisk, whatever that is, is the correct one to destroy, as the robot did say "When the Obilisk began to fade"

“It is obvious that the Titus were the instruments of their demise, and have fallen from the glory that is your Alliance. However I cannot help but wonder why they started the war, as even the most psychotic of people have reasons for what they do.”
“Though I doubt you have information on the subject Robot, what was the nature of the oppression that they suffered; and can you give me an estimation on how much of Astranian history is classified? It sounds to me that your race is trying to forget the horrors of the wars you have fought, while this Pinkskin knows very little about your history, there is a saying that has been proven time and time again: ”Those who forget their mistakes are destined to repeat them over and over again”.
Shoot the Guilder statue, and then start walking towards the city.

Destroy all three. He didn't say that we only got one shot, neither did he say that ONLY one of the three was the right one. They could have all fallen in their own way.

Along a similar vein, it could be argued that none of them were directly responsible, and therefore all of the statues should be left standing.

alright, can you apologize to the robot for destroying his statues and that for an Astranian, he's the only respectable one you've met so far.

Okay, maybe that's not true, but well let's make the message hit home.

Thank that robot, leave the Torch, and walk away from the monument. If questioned by the announcer, say "If I'm going to destroy the guilty party, I'm going to need a bigger bomb".

Idunno, I feel like its ACB.

And I wouldn't destroy any statues. How can we destroy any of them "trough inaction"? Is HE going to blast one of them? Fault's on him then.

I agree, don't destroy any of the statues.

Take the torch if nobody stops you, though. Should you learn how to use it, it would be a valuable tool. For the record, I believe that each lens is a single function, and that the torch would explode because we're using more than one.

A- Create Light (it looks like rays of light)
B- Destroying Rocks (looks to be an explosion)
C- Start Fires (it's the odd man out, and the only one that could vaguely resemble fire, at least in my eyes)

So if we decide to try it, I don't think we should use more than one lens.

the Pinkskin can feel his skin burn as the searing hot beam flies forth shattering the Statue ahead

Ahmed: "AAAAARGH!"

after which he throws aside the steaming burnt husk of the torch and falls to his knees in pain.

after a few minutes of silence the Announcer speaks to him

Announcer: "well done Pinkskin you've earned your life this day. The collection ships will be arriving shortly."

Spend the remaining time conversing with the robot. Remember that these robots are sentient beings, and while they may not have any moral drive to help you they also have no hatred for you either.
A human having pleasant conversation with an Astranian being, even a second-class one like a robot, would have an effect on the viewers.

"This shrine, loath that I had to harm it, must have been here before this planet suffered so. How long have you been its guardian? What have you seen?"

Alternatively, ask about the other species that were in the alliance, and what has become of them over time.
Or ask why the Astranians haven't accepted new species into the alliance as the Obelisk did.

True to his word The Announcer indeed sent out ships to recover the four surviving pinkskins

and in the days to come they would be treated surprisingly well, given good food and medical treatment

. . . but none among the survivors where fool enough to believe this would be the end of their trials.

lackey: "Mr. Announcer, two of the pinkskins appear to have been captured by Guilders, we won't be able to extract them."

Announcer: "send in the KillBots, order them to shoot anything that moves."

lackey: "they shall burn for the glory of the Alliance!"
