Why does it feel like I'm being watched.

>>322665
Aww nuts. We got disconnected. I wonder why?

Well. Hello Shabin. We're uh... guiding voices that normally speak to Chee. Now we're with you for some reason. I think if we got back to Chee she would recover. I dunno how to do that though.

Also why is that guy speaking in olde english? Double also how come you look different from most kobolds?

Oh, that is just us. Chee's guiding voices. We kinda know why Chee is acting like that. Please promise not to freak out when we tell you.

>her
>she
Chee is genderless, unless this has changed. I suspect it may make them self-conscious to be referred to as such.

Also, hi, we're your new crazy head voices.

>>322666
Perhaps because you are being watched, Shabin.
Have you heard Chee mention voices that guide him/her in his/her endeavors?
That's us.

...or maybe we're just a mental construct of your own, trying to make you feel better or worse about something. Who knows! Isn't the unknown grand?

>>322669
no, chee is just a child who doesn't know how to distinguish genders. Presumably during the medical examination and subsequent care (aka, vegetative individuals need to piss and shit too) someone saw.

>>322673
If I recall correctly, it has been referred to before, when Chee was seen nude by the other wizard students, that there was nothing there.

>>322666
Well, this is different. Hey Shabin, how's it going? Anything on Chee yet?

Sweet merciful what, either Chee's one mental mess or I just made one of myself!

>>322667
I think he's seen one too many posh plays where kobolds act out humans. And what do you mean, "I look different?"

>>322669
She's wimpy, but I still don't want to call her an 'it'. I will judge by the eyelashes, but I know about her state.

>>322679
Nothing. It's been four days. Fraga found Chee and fake fencer there, dragged em back. Kradis was knocked out, but ultimately fine. Chee has been in... not a coma, but she doesn't respond to much. If you all really are her guiding voices... well, that's weird to me. But maybe you can tell me how to snap her out of it. I do know one thing, though: I've seen that look on Chee's face before. It's the face of someone who lost the will to live.

Being told you have no soul does that to a person.

>>322682
That's... probably because the necromancer minion who attacked had its claws in Chee's body as (s)he was healing it to un-re-death, and it claimed that Chee had no soul.

Chee must have taken that pretty hard. That, combined with the death and destruction Chee's already seen happen, and probably how it seems like the death and destruction is following him/her, well... you can see where a bit of depression may have set in.

>>322682
Necromancer told her she didn't had a soul and that she was dead for about a year or so. Poor Chee is probably lost in her thought.

but make no mistake, chee is not a zombie or anything. more like a construct. like a golem.

>>322682
>what do you mean, "I look different?"

Oh don't worry, it's nothing bad. Your eyes just have a sharper look to them.

As for Chee being comatose she might be in shock because the necromancer convinced her that she has no soul.

>>322682
Pish posh. Will to live? Girl is already dead.

You must give him a reason to live.

A sexy reason

...Oh. Well, in that case, we do know what the problem is. She found out in her battle with the necromancer that her body died a year ago and she doesn't have a soul. We think she might have been turned into a homunculus or a flesh golem or something, and that she was given us to help her make decisions. She's not any less of a person, though, and we need you to go reassure her of that.

>>322682
Something very damaging was said by the necromancer Chee defeated. It said she "had no soul". Perhaps it is possible that Chee believes she is now 'dead'?

Has anyone tried cheering her up? Maybe Chee would be happy to see that Kradis and Fraga are okay.

Not to mention feelings and self-will. Chee is probably one the nicest people you will ever meet. Seriously, we tried to explain that to her but what she needs right now is a friend to tell her that she isn't some kind of abomination.

>>322682
Your eyes are less... beady, and you're taller. That guy that found Chee was really huge too, what's up with that?

....ah. Fraga and Kradis have both made a couple of visits to her, so she knows they're well. I think. It's hard to tell, she barely even looked at them. We've mostly given her space, time to rest, that sort of thing.

No soul, huh. Necromancers... it's not like I trust them, but from the way it sounds, it seems like it had little reason to lie.

Maybe you're right. Maybe it's encouragement. It's just not my forte, you know? All I've really done is shove food and water down her throat just to keep her going.

>>322700
>>322690
...they are? Come to think of it, I don't think I've ever seen my eyes. I've only heard about mirrors. Oh, and water too, but this IS a cave after all, there's not much reflecting going on.
Also, you must be referring to chop. Nothing special about him. Well, maybe "special." He's just huge.

>"The Headmaster of Magic speaks. Shabin. You were asked three questions. You appear suddenly distraught. Go, fix Chee, she was put under your care. Do not dissappoint me. The Headmaster of Magic has spoken."

Alright then, voices. This isn't my forte, like I said. What should I do for Chee? I'm not really into presents or comforting words or.. things.

Chee, according to the necromancer, lacks a soul. As 'she' was said by the necromancer to have once had a soul, that likely rules out construct. Which means 'she' is some form of undead. Except, 'she' also appears to be naturally adept at healing magic. And who ever heard of an undead healer? So, really, we have no idea what Chee is.

One question. Before we left, Chee spotted another person who pointed at 'her', and 'she' immediately deduced they were a necromancer due to the aura around them. Are any Kobolds around here delving into the dark arts?

>>322682
The necromancer told Chee a few things before it was turned to so much ash.
The first is that Chee has no soul.
The second is that Chee died more than a year ago.
The third is that Chee's body is still alive somehow.

Also, the zombies that were milling around the necromancer were the people from Chee's last village.

What Chee needs right now is to be consoled. Hugs would help, as well as other tactile signs of affection. She also needs somebody to tell her to stop being upset over what the necromancer said - she has strange mental quirks in place.

Oh, by the way, why were you shaking the night before the attack?

>>322705
I-is that? Is his beard.... *snrrrrrkkk* it's taped on isn't it!

(sorry, sorry!) Yeah, guess we'll go check on Chee then. Maybe bring some more food and drink if she hasn't had any recently. Maybe even wine or ale if you can. Anything to get her talking. You gotta figure out what's on her mind.

Let's try shock therapy! Pucker up! Smooch smooooooooooch~ ...or maybe whap upside the head and drag out somewhere. Whichever seems more appealing to you~

yeah, has anyone TRIED a hug? if not then may as well give it a shot. and say that her soul was probably so big that the necromancer couldn't get his hand around it so was confused and dumb.

sorry about some of the other voices. there really isn't any quality control on our end so some of us are idiots, and most of us are perverts. By he way,what is chop's deal? He more or less jumped chee when he met her. Is that normal?

>>322705
Ok that stupid beard has to be pulled off at some point. As for Chee I say go for this >>322709
However if that doesn't work then something more extreme needs to be done. Chee's in shock, and she's shutdown, most likely to avoid the feelings she's having. You need to find a way to push her out of it, either by getting she to feel positive emotion or by getting her to realize she still cares about something. the first can be done by getting her to use her magic to help someone. The second can be done by making her believe that she, or someone she knows, is in danger. I think you could do both at once having someone get convincingly hurt in front of her, with no-one else around to help.

By the way, this is slightly unrelated to the problem at hand, but Chee totally jumped on the necromancer's face and HEALED him to death. It was Awesome. Also, the necromancer was apparently another necromancer's minion or something.

>>322713
Yeah, and beat the snot out of her (literally). Is everyone treated that way? Or did he like, grow up reading Grog the Destroyer or something and is a bit like our friend in the goofy feather-hat?

>>322712
No one's tried a hug. It seemed rather inappropriate.

Well, here I am. Just the other side of the door. I wish I could say I had an ounce of desire to do this.

>>322719
Chee died and is still alive.
Her previous two homes were destroyed.
Necromancy and death seem to follow her everywhere.
And now a mysterious necromancer that nobody else knows about shows up in the middle of the village without being detected just before Chee finds the vile construct of a second necromancer.

I am wondering if this necromancer of ours is the one who brought Chee back.

Well there definitely a necromancer in here when Chee was on her way to the statue four days ago. It had a kobold skeleton with horns on its head, robes, and an aura that wasn't moving. When Chee asked it where the statue was, it just jerkily pointed at Chee who then ran away from it and luckily ended up at the statue.

it's called ya gotta do what you gotta do. be ready for a LOT of crying. but after that she should be good to at least start moving around on her own again.

Boy you better build up some desire then quick. Because once we get involved in something then it means life is about to get crazy. If you enjoy continued breathing you better figure out what the necromancers are up to.

>>322721
You're angry... why? You have a secret, too, don't you.

Maybe that's what Chee needs: someone to confide in.

This, along with everyone's elses saying of this, is why I'm getting so impressed that she's nice. So nice it pisses me off.

That's why this is so hard. That's why I'm stalling. I guess I preached toughness to her so hard as soon as she woke up on me, it's time to reflect it. I'm going to feel like smacking her as soon as I see her. Or him or them or god, whatever. Here goes.

I think part of the reason that Chee is in a somewhat comatose state is that WE are not with him/her. We help Cheelop operate, and since for some reason we're in YOUR head at the moment, it's like Chee is missing his/her operating system. So go inside and put your hand on Chee, maybe we can transfer over or something.

Also how do you people know what a trainwreck is? What exactly is the technology level outside?

Yep. I want to smack her.

>>322731
You could just tell her to pull herself together and do something. I mean, what if we're going about this all wrong? Go be rough, giver her a good shake! Yell at her, tell her everything's alright now and that she should accept it.

Besides, might feel kinda nice. Oh, and tell her that hat's silly and a beret is really more her style.

Ok the boy part of that was a figure of speech. Of course we know you are a girl. What with the seeing through clothes and all.

could also say "you have been moping so much your fucking head voices are bothering me to make you snap out of it! cry get upset, get angry, get happy, get SOMETHING!!

do it

>>322731
She once said that there was some part of her that needed to be told what to do. So tell her to do something. Like, tell her to get herself washed.

Sit beside Chee and simply watch her. Mention the insane voices in your head claiming to be a vital component of Chee's consciousness. Give her lots of time. Mine away some more of your room. Just be near her for a while.

Also pinch her nose shut.

>>322737

This actually makes sense. But if the lack of voices leaves her at such a shell, then what exactly is Chee on her own?

Also, those dwarves. Don't get me wrong I've never actually seen a train, but I hear it's like a chain of minecarts meant for enormous mining procedures. I don't know how they work, but they're more technological than what we've got, for sure.

You had me until 'pinch her nose shut.'

Maintain contact with Chee and WILL the voices in your head (us) into her. Concentrate and try to make us heard by him/her/it.

Helloooooo Cheeeeeee...!

say "as your superior i ORDER you to stand up!"

>>322741
Gonna try something.
[switch to Cheelop]

Well the weird thing is that Chee has got along fine without us telling her what to do before. Personally, I think she has just gone into a kind of catatonic shock.

Ooh Ooh! I got an idea that probably might not be terrible!

Lie to her and say that she bears an uncanny similarity to some one you knew that died a few years back.

Nothing could go wrong.

That is a terrible idea.

There we go! No tell her to stop sitting around like a lump and freakin' get cleaned up. She's probably starting to smell or something and if she doesn't go learn more magic, she won't be any use.

(And besides, it's boring having a roomie who doesn't do anything!)

Well, we will try.

[Shift focus away]

>>322750
You've already done it. If you command our sight off, it goes off. One of our few limitations.

Why, what are you doing?

already happening, we switched to looking through your eyes. just don't look at yourself and we wont see.

Chee: Do not respond.

>>322750
We're actually a pseudo-omniscient entity. Well, sorta. But if you're just gonna do something "drastic" like kiss her, we won't tell anyone.

it'll just prompt lots of embarrassing fan-art~ =w=

You don't. Why? Are you having another one of those episodic flip outs? Or do you just need to use the bathroom?

Cheelop once said to us that he/she feels the need to be told what to do, and he/she only responded when you took that firm tone of voice. Perhaps try it again, try being direct and authoritative, telling Chee precisely what to do.

...please don't molest our kobold

>>322750
We really don't have control over it, to be honest. We just kinda go wherever fate takes us.

Our control is less than stellar, but we can try to look away.
Do what you have to do.
We are not actually going to look away.

>>322750
We turn off when we're not needed. Like when Chee was learning how to cast heal, we turned off. When she was traveling, we turned off. When she was asleep, we turned off.

Looks like she's coming out of it. Just keep talking to her.

...the same place you got the loincloth you're wearing? But perhaps Chee's onto something. We, the voices/spirits/whatever, were never present when Chee got the hat. Perhaps it has some connection to Cheelop's... condition?

...I don't know where the hat came from. We never asked and she never mentioned it... Crapola. Ummm... maybe she made it? Or did she get it as a gift?

Suggest that someone gave it to her.

dunno. you were wearing it when the voices started talking.

"I don't know, Chee, you arrived with it"

... because we don't know either; he showed up with it on the first time

"Uh to make you feel better...you were really great out there, kicking necromancer butt...nice work...ha...ha...ha?"

You could ask her how she got the hat...

((Wait, is this a Reaver quest? Or am I getting a false positive from the 'suddenly, tsundere'?))

Hey, just keep doing what you're doing for now, but when you get a chance, you should probably have Chee get looked at by some of your magicky folks. In addition to the mystery of what, exactly, Chee is, there are some pretty big gaps in its memory; if you have anybody who's good at mind magic, maybe there are answers to be found with a bit of digging.

For now, though, stick with the TLC. And no pervert stuff *'looking' at the other voices*. Gender issues aside, Chee's still a kid emotionally and is only looking for the platonic sort of love.

I wish I knew.

chee had it on when she LEFT the place. what's face, with the hat may know.

specifically, the hat with the feather on it and has the sword.

>>322816
Oh, cool magical hat. Probably better to take it to the wizard dude, when it comes to weird magical shit then it's usually better to turn immediatly to someone who knows magic.

>>322816
O... k...
I don't know if this is good or bad.
The hat could be cursed so that it will follow Chee wherever she goes, but that might not be a bad thing if ALL it does is follow Chee around.

It also might contain Chee's soul, making Chee some sort of Living Lich.

Talk to the wizard! He might be able to research this!

Can any of the wizards around here do anything about false memories? It is becoming increasingly likely that Chee has a lot of them.

Looking back on our memories, Chee has been able to function both with and without the hat, so it seems unlikely the hat serves some vital function. We might want to give the hat to one of the wizards for monitoring, and see if they can catch it being transported back.

that is a horribly good point

none of us were watching out for a HAT

Yeah, yeah. The wizard is a good idea. Our room is on the way, though. Let me just check in. Maybe take a breather. This is an awful lot to soak in at once. I'm trying to think, here... She didn't have a hat when she came back, I know that. I didn't even know she had a hat, then.

I was getting told what went on in that mission. As soon as I learned about the necromancer, you guys popped in, and informed me yourselves about that. Up to then, I was told much of it.

To make order.. Chop must have seen the hat first. Fraga said he retrieved her things for the scouting mission, but possibly never saw her with her hat. Fraga didn't leave with them, and she didn't put on her hat till leaving, according to Kradis. At which point him and Pakin were the ones to see her wear a hat. Pakin is another mystery, obviously.

Chee didn't have her hat until Kradis' visited after the mission. I thought he gave her her hat back, but Fraga should have known if Kradis had the hat.

-a hat.

>"Welcome back, Shabin. I think you forgot my hat. I hope you didn't need it too much. I'm feeling better, now."

WHAT! THE! FUCK!

But... How... You just... My metaphorical head hurts.

Oh dear...
Clingy objects are generally not benevolent...

You have a problem.
That hat must be analysed, I'm not sure destroying it would even do anything.

This is important, does it have an arrow hole?, if it does, then it is just moving by itself.

If it doesn't, that is much worse, cause then it isn't just moving about.

Reapeating this, stay calm, and get the hat looked at.

Freaking out can be done later, in private.

"...No, I have it right here in my- WHAT THE FUCK?!"

>>322830
"I didn't forget your hat, Chee. I took it with me. I had it in my hand when I was about to open the door.
How long has that hat been on your head?

Also excuse me, let me check something."

You believe Chee is a girl. Girls have girl parts. Look for Chee's girl parts.

>>322830
NO CHANCES THIS TIME.

Take Chee with you. Urgently find head mage person. Freak out profusely.

Is the hat you were carrying still there, or did it disappear when you opened the door? This is very important.

If the hat you had is still there, it fits my theory see the discussion thread. To summarize, some force saw Chee, and is returning Chee to that state as some kind of regeneration. It saw Chee with the hat, so it regenerates the hat. It did not see the parts of Chee that were covered by clothing, so those parts were not regenerated, leaving Chee genderless.

>>322832
>>322836
In >>322830 I see no hat, but I guess it could be magic weirdness.

Still, I suspect it's just no longer in her hands and has moved to his head.


Either way, Chee's having weird memories - other people saw and commented on the hat, so it definitely was with her and not on his head.

Unless the hat DOES regenerate or whatever (and so Chee did have a hat on his head that was separate to the hat Shabin was running around with), in which case, why did the hat Shabin was holding disappear?

She might have just dropped it in surprise. That is what I was trying to ask about.

>>322832
No kidding, I have a problem! There's no arrow hole, it looks completely new!

>>322836
It disappeared from my hand as soon as I saw it on her head.

>>322834
I'm aware of her genderless state! I just don't want to keep on saying he slash she, it, or refer her to her by name all the time.

"I brought the hat, Chee. I had it in my hand until I opened the door to see you. How long as it been on your head?"

>"As long as anyone can remember."

"... I'm going to bring you to the wizards. You aren't yourself. You're not Chee. You're not even close!"

Ask Chee if she ever saw herself bleed. Ask if she ever got wounded and, if she did, how soon the wounds healed.

>>322843
Yeah.... Chee's a Revenant or something. That hat is part of Chee, and therefore simply reappears. Hmm. Welp, the Wizard is a good plan. Or a Cleric. Or a Druid. Or SOMETHING.

>>322843
Ah, no. I didn't mean to imply you were unaware.

You said her hat was missing until people who knew of it observed her. It's possible that Chee literally IS what people expect her to be.

Also? This IS Chee. She's acting strange because she's not all together at the moment. We're functionally a part of her mind, and while we're in your body we aren't in hers.
Please do bring her to the wizards though; she needs help, and I think taking down a necromancer should secure her at least that much consideration.

>"You just said I'm not Chee. Chee died over a year ago. I am not Chee."

>>322843
Sure it's Chee. But yeah, getting the wizard to look at this is a good idea. Something is fucked up here.

Inform Chee that he IS Chee, and yell at him to stay with you dammit while hugging him. And running toward the Wizard. While internally monologing about what a bastard he is for sending an untrained soldier to give someone therapy.

>>322853
Oh crap, looks like it's existential doubt. Better reaffirm the belief that it's truly Chee and nothing permanent is wrong.

>>322853
"What? No! I meant that you're not acting like yourself! You ARE Chee, but you're unwell. I want to have the wizards look you over to make sure the necromancer didn't do anything to you.

... Er... you're looking kinda magically smudged, Chee. Are you feeling ok?"

Pick her up and carry her in your arms. Normally I'd say piggyback, but you want to be able to keep your eyes on her constantly.

Just tell it that you don't care what it is, it is what it wants to be, what feels right to it.It still remembers all the things it did, and those must count for something at least. After all isn't your actions that dictate who you are, Regardless of race or form?
That being said, being roughly kobold-sized would help with ergonomics.

i don't think telling chee that s/he's chee is going to help much right now

i propose we ftfo

>>322863
Supporting this.

Okay, no. you need to tell Chee that no matter what some necromancer said, she's NOT dead. You met her only like a day ago, and then she did the mage training, and Chee can't be dead because Chee did those things.

>>322867
Light protect us, this is going to be like hammering against a rubber wall.

Slap the stupid out of that 'bold and tell her that she isn't dead because she isn't done here yet.

I'm not supposed to be this sappy. I'm starting to act like Chee. I've got to get you voices in her, but I don't even know what you are!

"You're adorable and genderless!"

>"Shabin! Over here!"

"A good person! I don't care what you are, even!"

It's like I'm assimilating with these voices.

Oh, that's probably not good either. Even quicker, to the wizard, explain what's going on and as him to get his wizarding on.

>>322884

resistance is truly futi- whoa. deja vu.

if you're done being all tragic like, bring Chee over to inspection.

>>322884
Maybe if you wore the hat briefly, then put it on her?

>>322884
Yeeaaah, um, while we generally try to help out who we're connected to, I don't really know what we actually are, or what effect we have on you.

>>322891
Then again, maybe we're just getting you to open up. Being a stoic hardass isn't very good for your emotional health.

>>322884
Chee's state and the hat are linked, I believe. If anything, it is quite possible the hat is a "part" of her -- assuming this necromancer was right, perhaps it is some form of phylactery?

Ooooor more likely some horribly cursed object that has maligned her through weird stuff to do with her past. Dunno.

But sweet cave-bajeezus we gotta figure out what's wrong! But keep talking, that seems to be working.

>>322884
Hmm. Cheelop is also a wizard. May as well remind her of that.

He's a hologram. Taking anything from him, like his loincloth or hat, won't work because they're not really material: they'll just return to him later. Likewise, the hologram isn't advanced enough to deal with multiple layers, like figuring out what sort of gender bits he has, which is why there's nothing under his loincloth.

This begs the question: where's the real Chee?

>>322884
>I'm assimilating with these voices
Okay
Now I'm starting to wonder just what role we actually play

Regardless you still haven't told Chee that s/he's a kobold! Also seconding reminding that s/he's a wizard.

Also go with Fraga!

She's a kobold, of course.

And tell her that if she's missing her soul, well, we'll just have to go and find it, won't we?

Also: Consult Wizard.

>>322903
Hipster Shabin should tell Chee that souls are too mainstream.

It's interesting. I'm certain that not one hour ago, I would've slapped her and told her to quit being a wuss. And now look at me! I'm bawling my eyes out while being told what to do!

But I don't have time to talk to her.

I tell everything to the wizards. Every fact I know, about all the voices, everything I've seen, everything. They, of course, take her back, and it feels like hours pass until the headmaster finally comes out.

>"I am sorry. It is far beyond my understanding. The necromancer was correct, she died one year ago. I could not begin to fathom the various magic that leans against each other, all working to keep her body walking as though alive. All I know is that it was a miracle that she has lasted this long. It seems to be collapsing all around her now, and those voices were either expelled, or escaped, and whatever binds those voices together leapt to the nearest available host."

>>322911
Well, if Beardo is right, that means one of two things: either Chee is held together by us, or we're a by-product. Either way, we're not there and Chee is breaking.

Ask Captain Facial-Fluff if he knows of any spells to put us back in?

Okay, you're gonna need to talk to Fraga.

What's his deal? Isn't it to be expected that it's disconcerting when your new roommate starts dissipating before your eyes? Let alone the whole soulless, dead, and genderless parts. That's pretty disconcerting too.

answer Fraga before he loses his shit, too.

>>322918
Give the hat back to Chee. If she passes away then you're stuck with us, and it makes it more likely that the hat alongside with us is a horrible curse and you will have to leave this place. So get that hat back onto her head and tell her to pull herself together.

On reflection, with all the strange things going on, I'm getting less and less confident that what just happened actually happened.

Maybe ask Fraga what's going on?

I dunno. Whatever you want to say or ask. It's probably best to say something, at least.

Did you tell them about the hat?

Hmm. You know... Chee said that her parents said she was sick and "needed to be brought elsewhere", but didn't seem to want to talk to her about it. Then there's a gap in her memory, and after that her parents left. I think her parents did something. Or got someone to do something.

She stayed with a dragon for a while after that, but got kicked out- the dragon called her a 'parasite on the earth'.

Do you think it might be a good idea to ask the dragon what's going on?

And I think it's that goddamned hat.

why the FUCK would it be the hat? it is probably just related to whatever magic made chee keep moving after death.

Chee wore the hat when Pakin died. It appeared back on her head right before then.

The hat killed Pakin. And maybe even Chee.

I'm not buying it. There's a necromancer in here, and that probably means the safest place to be is outside the base, despite the possible kobold zombie horde.

Run, Shabin, RUN!

and yes grabbing fragga is important. he isn't dead yet just locked in place because of the spell being cast on it. his magic skill is probably letting him resist it. and then run to chee and.. i dunno. give her some of your blood. would give her more life-force or something.

that is the bold necromancer we were talking about. he was in here for a while and he hasn't killed anyone. would rather take chances with him. grab fragga and run towards the kobold mancer!

>>322965
So it was using her power...?

This may be a bad idea, but we might have to bluff it (hopefully it never heard Chee's voice if it doesn't know what she looks like!). We should ask it if it did anything to the girl that was brought in a bit ago -- she was our friend.

>>322965
"Falling apart, but you'd know that better than anybody, wouldn't you?"

We REALLY don't want to alter your personality, but we don't have any control over it. We didn't even know we were doing it until you said we were, and we have no idea how to stop it!

Maybe you can appeal to their sense of curiosity. You know a few things about Chee that you could bargain away until you get a chance to escape and live.

Well, they seem pretty convinced that you're Chee... what the hell, they might be on to something. You've got the hat, the voices, and a lot more substance than the real Chee right now. And apparently you've got at least a little magical power, so try healing one of these guys to death. If it works it'll be a perfect bluff.

i am telling you, the bold necro is good. he ran into chee before and didn't do anything other then point.

>>322976
Shabin has shown almost no magical understanding and even the necro-monster said she had very little power. I highly doubt she'd do very much.

>>322962
Kick him in the head.

>>322978
At the very least, the bold necromancer is less bad.

>>322979
It probably wouldn't, although that was before the hat adopted her. But it's still better than cowering helplessly.

Flee to the 'bold necromancer. When in doubt, stick with your own kind.

He may be able to help Chee.

>>322978
Look at it the other way. We know for a fact that the 'bold ISN'T the successor to the necromancer Chee killed.

>>323001
Actually, what we killed was the necromancer's creation. For all we know, that's him right over there...

>>322965
Well atleast it's less yellow. Get over there and see if that leads to less horrible death.

>>322965
Yell to the Necrobold you'll take him to see Chee if he stops this damned creature and saves Fraga

I like Necrobold. We could be distrusting and everything about him but I think taking this chance is worth it. we'll deal with him appropriately if he IS evil but not every Necromancer has to be evil. Dark aura's do not mean evil, just dark.

>>323007
We don't shout that we are not Chee, that breaks our cover and tells necromonster where Chee is.

Something to note: This kobold necromancer has been living amongst you somehow without being noticed, and nobody's gone mysteriously missing or found zombies shambling in the halls. He's been peaceful. Or he's a spy, I guess.

I am going to assume that normally people can't TELL he looks like that. I think something is letting you see his true form. Either the hat or us.

Tell the 'bold to get rid of the bird-skeleton necromancer first.

>>323037
>this is what the headmaster looks like without his beard

>>323054
Beard of False Life?

Chee: save day

I'm wondering if perhaps what the necromancers look like, what some people have referred to as bird-like, is actually the SKULL of a kobold...

You probably have no other hope besides relying on the other kobold being friendly, so sucker punch the closer necromancer with all of your mining muscle and bolt towards the unknown party.

Holy.... what the fuck is going on?!

Point at the necromancer that thinks you're Chee and say, "Before I answer your question, could you take care of this little problem for me?"

Hello, voices. Do you know where Chee is at?

I dunno lol

>>323443
no lol

Hi! Can you hear us? Cool!

Who the fuck are you guys and what's going on?

Chee didn't die, or at least not recently. That's info given in good faith, of course. Additional information will require information from you.

>>323443
Depends on what you have planned for Chee.
And/or why you're looking for Chee, and/or how much you can tell us about the current situation.

Also, dismissing that... rude skeletal minion, and healing Chee's friend would help us like you more. If you have a way to get rid of minions that aren't yours, at least, since it obviously is not calling you "master".

>>323443
No, we don't. That last monster put her into some sort of existential crisis, and she started smudging and blurring as if an eraser was rubbing her out of existence.

What can you tell us about Chee? About yourself?

>>323443
In a room? We don't really have a handle on the architecture here. Our senses are rather spotty.

(Can we please not give them information until we have a good reason to? Seriously some people need to learn not to spill the beans at the earliest moment possible)

>>323445
I second this motion.

We don't know where Chee is currently but Shabin, Chee's friend that you just put to sleep, did. If Shabin was right about where Chee is then check down the hall.

Oh, he's probably somewhere outside the fortress.

>>323448
We don't want to tell him all that without getting something in exchange.

>>323457
Fine, post deleted.

Chee's in a nearby room. Would you mind telling us what's going on? You seem likable enough, and you haven't zombified anyone in front of us yet, so we'll be willing to fill you in on why we were in Shabin in exchange for a bit of information.

I think you may want to ask the construct what it's deal is with Chee, at least you may be able to keep it occupied. Maybe even come to a resolution that does not involve further killing.

CHEE. CHEE. CHEE. CH-

I am muting the other necromancer for the time.

It is not surprising you do not know exactly, the planning for this cave... was rather spotty.

We are both subjects of two liches. And both are acting on the purpose that Chee was unwittingly given through circumstances I will not elaborate upon. I cannot tell you more. Not because I do not know, but because I believe that your loyalties lie with Chee, not with Chee's purpose.

I do not care to talk about myself.


I am afraid that healing is not a familiar subject to me. But no not worry, while their wounds will take time to heal, they are not mortally threatened. And if you had not figured, that minion's senses are... minimal. It can only sense living and conscious kobolds. Do not worry about that either, it will leave on its own accord upon not finding any kobolds unaccounted for.

A nearby room. Good. Now, I will return you to Chee, unless you have any questions that I am comfortable answering.

can we get rid of the hat? or is it utterly immune to destruction?

>>323460
What is Chee's purpose, then?
Actually, what IS Chee?

Oh good, so the undead necromancer thing will only slaughter every CONSCIOUS kobold it can sense. That's MUCH better. Would you please make everyone unconscious, by the way? Anyway, questions.

What is Chee's purpose?
Why was Chee fading?
What would you have us do? It's possible that with more knowledge we might change our loyalties, but only accurate information would cause that change; keeping us in the dark won't get us to help you.

>>323460
Chee must be very valuable then if you're willing to return control to a potentially hostile force rather than risk her destruction.

What is Chee? What is Chee's purpose? What is happening to Chee? Are we supposed to be stuck with Chee, if so why?

Why does the hat teleport onto Chee's head and repair any damage it's sustained whenever someone who's seen Chee with the hat before looks at her?
What is Chee?
Will Chee's purpose harm any of the kobolds here?
What sorts of things can disrupt the spells keeping Chee alive?
Why doesn't Chee have any genitals?
Was Chee originally male or female?

>>323461
My master has found the hat to be a great thorn in our side, but has not been able to be rid of it. It is one of the most effective scrying devices we have seen yet, but it becomes most potent when it is put on by Chee willfully. Never have it do this unless you want another necromancer.

And I will not say what Chee or its purpose is. If just knowing not having a soul did this, then to know more would likely outright kill it. Knowledge is power, and power is dangerous.

>>323464
Great resources have been put into this tiny kobold, and it is brimming with unstable magic. An occasional near collapse in inevitable, making the liches battle all the more precarious. All of you act as a stabilizer in ways, keeping magic in check where the lack of a soul would make it otherwise impossible.

I tire. All remaining questions I either cannot or will not answer. You will find all there is to know in time. My master and I simply count on you learning it too late for you to do anything about it.

..."Hello?"

Yo, whats up.

Welcome back Cheelop. Everyone's been doing their best to try to get you to come back to them. But all that work required a lot of effort on their end, and you might want to get up and go heal them if you can. Also take off that hat and tie it to your loincloth or something. We're going to get you a better hat.

Yep, it turns out your hat is a cursed item, so you should avoid wearing it. And get another hat.

Make sure that you never put the hat on. If you MUST have it on your head get somebody else to do so.

Man.

Chee's perants are the Necromancers.

It was the only thing they managed to do together, trying to create something perfect, something real, something more then just dead and reanimated.

Chee is that something. And now they both want her back, for some reason.

Shabin and Fraga could really use some patching up. Friends help each other, right?

Also, find some kind of hemp string or something, fix it to your hat and wear it on your back. You'll be the most stylish little wizardpriest ever.

Ahh my hat? I'll try wearing it on my back then when I can!

And Shabin and Fraga are hurt!? Oh, I hope it's not too bad! I feel like I can heal decently now! I'm sure I can take care of scraped knees, maybe Shabin got a headache. She's always so terse. Well, at least while I'm around. I could have sworn she was talking to me not too long ago though. She was being kind of sweet! It must have been a dream.

Oh, but I should go and heal them!

That's not a scraped knee. And Fraga.. I don't think headaches are supposed to be that bad.

I'm confus.

>Hello, Chee. No one is around, but I waited anyway. I am glad you came back. Are you ready to come with me?"

Heal Fraga! Shabin is alive, just asleep. I think.. hope.

> 4/5 derp
Tell him you are not ready and resume healing of the hurt peoples.

say no, what's the worst that could possibly happen?

PUT THE HAT ON THE SKULL'S HEAD AND TELL IT THAT IT IS NOW CHEE AND THUS MUST GO BACK WITH ITSELF TO ITS MASTER. With any luck this will work due to the kind of thing in which paradoxes kill Artificial Intelligence, and perhaps it'll buy you time as it goes back to its master.

THROW HAT ON ABOMINATION MAKE LIMITED SENSE CONFLICT WITH HIS BRAIN TO CAUSE INTERNAL IMPLOSION.

Or run. I don't really get the details of this mess anyway.

>>323498
Turn around and say this with as much authority as you can manage:
"Tell your master to never EVER cause harm to these kobolds. He's not to even send anything into this cave system. Otherwise I will make destroying him the purpose of my existence, and I won't stop until one of us is obliterated.
Do you understand, abomination?"
Then heal it into dust.

>>323498
Turn around, latch onto the skull and unleash your healing fury!

>>323508
What, no! This is wrong, god damn it, we don't want to go with this douchebag. Douchebag construct, put us down right now.

>>323508
"Yes, go to your master and never come back."

Bluff as best you can. Tell him "Yes, I am at the moment riding you. Let us go back to your master." Then make sure to WAIT A WHILE before healing your friends, because the moment they look at you your hat is likely to return to your head. (also at that point STOP WEARING THE HAT, tie it to your back)

No, this is good, he thinks we're on him.

"Alright, let's get going."

Then remain silent and wait until he's far far away, out of sight even.

THEN heal those two.

"Can't I help my friends first?"

It must think the hat is you. Do not say anything else and hopefully it will go away. Do not move until it is out of sight.

Tell him to fuck off, that your tired of all this destiny shit, also to comeback in a couple of days when I can tell which text belongs to who's perpective and figure out whether or not I'm a hat.

He leaves. It's awhile before I move again, before I finally treat my friends and go back to our rooms.

"How do you feel, Shabin?"

"Um..."

>"Listen up runt, because I'm only going to say this once. Today was the worst. Not because of what I learned of you. Not because I was stabbed in the leg. And most arguably not because I said I like you. Today, I was the most pathetic thing I have ever seen in my life, something I thought I'd never see after you. I don't care if the voices had an impact, it just means I couldn't resist."

>"I don't want to hear you ever bring today up again. I won't let a drop out for you even if you die, now."

>"Further, I don't give half a crap about what anything related to a necromancer said about you. You're just a runt kobold I got charged with, and being nice isn't gonna change it. Let the liches deal with the most convoluted mess of magic I've ever heard of, it has nothing to do with me, and so long as you stop getting all wet eyed over not having a soul, whatever that even means, you don't have to worry about it either."
