Likewise, the Nameless Man didn't actually destroy anything, he just set off a chain of events that led to destruction... much like Coralina.

>>28563
Although this kind of hints that sir Nameless actually is the BBEG.

>>28894
Your literary analysis skills are flawed. Nameless Man is to Vresch as Red's Mom is to Coralina.

>>28892
Do you have any way to communicate with the others up in Avalon? Preferably using your magic.

"No, let me. Ignis."
>"Oh, thank you. You see, I was cursed.... but I can't really talk about the curse, or I'll always be interrupted."
The large creature sighs.
>"It's been so very long since I had company..."

>>29447

Befriend large creature, ask it about itself and tell it to leave out the curse details.

Request its aid.

She mutters the light spell again, moving her head to the ceiling and shining light on a wide hole.... blocked by a large rock. The one you dislodged earlier in your fall, appaerently.
>"Sorry."

>>29503
Can your magic heal your broken leg?

If not, ask if the dragon can heal your leg. It seems your going to be spending quite a bit of time down here...

>>28212
use FLAT ROCKS + CLOTH to form SPLINT.

REALIGN LEG before SPLINT APPLICATION if you have MEDICAL TRAINING 2 or greater.

I can seal wounds with magical fire, but it hurts like a bitch and is only useful for bleeding wounds. Some legendary Fire specialists have been able to ignite 'their inner fire' and speed up their natral healing rates to truly absurd levels, but I cannot. I can, however, set the bone.

One, two, SON OF A BITCH!

No... The true evil is not the parts, it's the artificial soul within. I can blow off their limbs, crush their metallic skulls, render them no more than scrap... but if that peice remains, the evil lives on.
If I am to rid the owrld of their taint, I will keep this leg and soldier on, keeping at the top of my current potential. I WILL find the Nameless man.

>>29810
Fine... wimp.

In that case, have her make the other leg clockwork as well, otherwise you'll run lopsided and won't be as efficient as you could be.

Most wildlife in the caverns, this low especially, IS hostile. If you must know, that thing was a Deep Eel, and they're voracious bastards.

Now that you mention it, most... actually, all recorded dragons are hostile creatures. None so far have ever spoken human language.

Weird, I'll ask Green about that later.

Thew beast slumps back, dead, into the depths of the cavern. It seems that is was incredibly long, since it doesn't just fall.

Me and the rather strange elderly man exchange glances. There's silence. Neither of us say a word. He plants his sword in the creature, then walks back to look at me again.
